This volume owes its existence to the late Frederick
John Kingsbury of Waterbury, Connecticut. During
a long life filled with activities of many kinds, he
found time for productive historical study in many
fields. The history of his native town of Waterbury
was of great interest to him, and he contributed very
generously to the three volumes of its History, edited
by his friend, the Reverend Joseph Anderson. He
also contributed largely with both research and
money toward the history of his own family of Kings-
bury. Next to his own, the family that was most
closely connected to him in business affairs and
family ties was that of Scovill, descendants of an
original settler and proprietor of Waterbury. Mr
Kingsbury intended to place a volume of Scovill his-
tory and genealogy beside that of Kingsbury, which
was so largely the result of his interest and support.
He himself collected materials and employed an
assistant for that end. Advancing years and failing
strength — but not diminished ardor and enthusiasm
— warned him that he would not see the accomplish-
ment of his desire. When his last will was read, it
was found that he had especially expressed a desire
to have the Scovill family history carried on to com-
pletion. This his heirs undertook to do, and engaged
the undersigned as general editor of the book. For
four years he has been actively engaged in its prep-
aration.

During the years 1884-98, the Scovilles living in
Trumbull County, Ohio, held family reunions, and

formed an Association. Lucius Nelson Scovill (No.
294) was the leading spirit in collecting records and
preparing a genealogy. This work never advanced
beyond the manuscript stage. Some ten years later
Barclay Allaire Scovil (son of No. 199) undertook to
prepare a genealogy and in 1895-6 conducted an
extensive correspondence with Scovilles in all parts
of the United States and Canada. His work was
known to, and encouraged by, Mr. Kingsbury. The
unexpected extent of the work and his increasing
engagements compelled Mr. Scovil to discontinue his
correspondence, and this work also never advanced
beyond the manuscript stage. The present editor has
had at his disposal the manuscripts of both his fore-
runners, and their work has correspondingly lightened
his own. He regrets that the roll of descendants of
John Scovell of Farmington, Waterbury, and Haddam
is not complete, despite his earnest endeavor. He
has not succeeded in discovering the living descendants
of Stephen (No. 26), nor of Lemuel (No. 46), although
it is known that they had children, and presumably
later descendants. Further incompleteness is due to
the lack of interest shown by Scovilles who failed to
reply to requests for information, even after repeated
letters had been sent. Although this lack of com-
pleteness is to be regretted, it has not been thought
wise to delay publication by further attempts to
gain what is lacking.

The chapters on the Scovilles of Wessex should
prove to be most interesting reading to their de-
scendants in America. The first chapter is the work
of Mr. Charles Arthur Hoppin, a thorough investi-
gator, who knows how to clothe his results in delightful
literary form. The second chapter is the work of
the editor upon materials collected by Mr. Hoppin.
Although these materials do not concern the an-

cestors of John Scovell in the direct line, they are,
nevertheless, of highest value as indications of the
position and extent of the family of Scoville in England
in the seventeenth and earlier centuries.

The variations in the spelling of the family sur-
name are very numerous. The number of them
shown in the chapters on the history of the family
in England is surprising, and almost all of them and
some new ones appear in American documents. Be-
cause of this fact, the editor was confronted by a serious
problem. Should he write the surname Scoville at
all times, despite the fact that all the early bearers
of the name, and some now living, used other ways
of spelling it? He has solved the problem by spell-
ing the name of each individual bearing it as that
individual had written it himself. This solution has
involved extra research, and the editor doubtless
has made mistakes. He knows, too, that in other
parts of his work errors will be found. No work of
this kind can be without errors, although the greatest
care is exercised. He wishes to receive corrections
of such errors as have escaped his notice, and espe-
cially to obtain such records as are still needed to
make the account of the family complete.

The book rests almost entirely upon written
documents. Very little indeed of its contents has
been previously printed. Of printed sources use has
been made of the History of Waterbury, edited by
the Rev. Joseph Anderson, 3 vols., and of many
genealogies and town histories in the collection of the
Connecticut Historical Society at Hartford, Con-
necticut.

The editor wishes here to convey his thanks to
all who have in any way assisted him. Miss Emma
S. Tomlinson, who ably assisted Mr. Kingsbury at the
outset, has rendered valuable aid. Nearly all the work

of gathering information regarding the Hnes descend-
ing from Sergeant John Scovill of Waterbury, eldest
son of the emigrant John, has been done by her.
The editor is responsible for the work on the lines
descending from the younger brothers of Sergeant
John Scovill, namely, William, Edward, and Ben-
jamin, all of Haddam, Connecticut.

The Scovilles of Wessex

1194 to 1660
By Charles Arthur Hoppin

I

This account of an honorable and ancient family,
ancestral to the Scovilles of America, is based upon
the original and exclusive investigations made in
England by the writer; no part of it has been made
known or published heretofore in connection with
any other account of the family of Scoville; hence
the responsibility therefor is the author's own.

William, Duke of Normandy, illegitimate son of
Robert the Devil by Arietta [Herleva], the daughter
of a tanner at Falaise, and a descendant of Rollo
[Rolf Ganger], the Norwegian chieftain who captured
and possessed himself of Normandy in the year 911,
was born in the year 1027 at Falaise, a town near the
city of Caen in Normandy, and by force of an as-
sumed conquest of England in the year 1066 became
the first Norman king of England, resided therein
and began the era which wrought the greatest changes
in the organization and life of its inhabitants in all
the known history of their most remarkable nation.

A citizen of Escoville (now Ecoville), a hamlet
close to Falaise, in the arrondissement of Caen, a man
of Christian name and fame now unknown, did also
go because of that conquest of England by "William
the Conqueror" into England, there to remain and
to gain unto himself and for all his descendants some
share of the ultimate spoils of that Norman conquest
of England. Escoville, like Falaise, is situated not
far from the sea, and not far from the mouth of the
Seine. To-day all over this district of Norman
France the fame of Duke William is perpetuated in
story and song, in stone and bronze, but nothing
remains discoverable to tell us aught of the life or
further identity of the said citizen of Escoville. That
there was such a man, that he there lived, that he
removed to England, and left descendants to this
very day in 1914 is provable by evidence that cannot
be found, likewise, concerning Duke William of 1066,
the conqueror of England. Thousands are the de-
scendants now alive of that citizen of Escoville. Not
a man is alive to-day as a known direct descendant
of the Duke and King William, and bearing his name.
Had he remained the simple citizen of his native
town, as William de Falaise, he now might have as
many descendants bearing his name as has the man
of Escoville.

Whether the citizen of Escoville, whom we may
call quite fairly, for the moment, Jean de Escoville,
took his journey into England as a soldier or ofHcer
with the professional military men, "soldiers of for-
tune," who crossed just south of the Pas de Calais in
1066, is a question unanswerable. The name of
Escoville, as applied to a person, is not among the
names of Duke William's knights, sires, tenants-
in-chief, and companions cast on the bronze tablet,
now affixed to the wall of the parish church of Dives

10

in Normandy. Nor is the surname of Escoville
(Scoville) among the names of many titled Normans
in England who, quite a number of years after 1066,
assembled at Battle Abbey to hold some sort of a
celebration of the Conquest, and who then and there
became enrolled in what is called the "Battle Abbey
Roll," as having been followers in one way or another
of William the Conqueror. The earliest extant mention
of the surname of Escoville (Scoville) in England
occurs in the year 1194. Nevertheless, it may have
come into England in 1066 in the army of the Duke,
for the man named Scoville of 1194 is recorded not as
a common citizen, tradesman, or farmer, but as a
knight, a landlord, a gentleman, who held land in
capite, — direct of the king, at the king's pleasure.
This implies that the Scoville of 1194 was not the
first Scoville in England. His father, grandfather,
and great-grandfather could all have been there before
him. This would partly account for the fortunate
social and material elevation in which he appears in
the year 1194. Though the Domesday Book of
1086 contains evidence that the Abbey of St. Etienne
at Caen, Normandy (founded by William the Con-
queror), held land in Somersetshire, England, the
Domesday survey does not contain the name of any
Scoville as a landholder, or as a tenant. Had the
first Scoville in England so held, at that date, other
than as a tenant of a small estate, we would expect
to find some mention of him in the Domesday Book.
The most modest ground to be taken is that the citizen
of Escoville in France who went into England did so
as among the many hundreds of commercial and
agricultural Normans and Norman gentlemen who
crossed into England, beginning in 1066 and so con-
tinuing for many years. Many of these adventurers
greatly increased their worldly fortunes in England,

11

even though they retained their names taken from
their occupations.

Escoville (Scoville) was first borne in England as
a surname, not to denote its bearer's vocation in life,
or any peculiarity of his person. It was borne to
denote a much more important personal, social, and
material origin for its bearer. Scoville is a territorial
surname. Such a surname is considered by etymolo-
gists as denoting the possession of land by the first
bearer of it, in a sufficient quantity and of a value
high enough to warrant such an owner in taking the
name of his property, or of the place in which his
property was located, as his surname; and when the
same name was also adopted by a son as early as the
twelfth century, it is very good evidence that the
landed possessions of the family were of goodly value.
Thus the first Scoville in England came thereto from
Escoville in Normandy as a man (or his father before
him) who had, or had had, landed property of im-
portance in Escoville. The only other means by
which he could have borne the surname of Scoville
in England would have been merely because he had
come from Escoville and had come without a surname,
regardless of his worldly station there or in England.
The assumption recently made by an American
genealogist that many men in England took the names
of their lords or masters, after a custom occasional
among the negro slaves in the United States, is one
that we cannot accept. Instances of such an adoption
of a master's surname in feudal England are so un-
common as to render the theory practically impos-
sible of proof, save in some isolated and extraordinary
instance. There is no difficulty in determining, quite
reasonably, that the first Scoville in England came
from Escoville already bearing the name of that place
as his surname, and so bearing it by right of his im-

12

portance in that town, for as it is true that the Scovilles
are found enjoying the high position of knighthood
in England in 1194, and as it is true (as will be proven
hereinafter) that the Scovilles continued for genera-
tions after that as lords of the soil, we may safely claim
and believe that the citizen of Escoville, who removed
to England between 1066 and 1150, had a surname
to mark upon his baggage [which hundreds of other
emigrants then did not have], — and, moreover, that
that surname was de Escoville, and written in England
de Scoville as records still show.

Many indeed were the untitled Normans who,
upon acquiring some sort of a legal title to land in
England, discarded whatever surname had been in-
dividually theirs in Normandy, or later in England
before acquiring such holdings of real estate, and
assumed as their new surname the name of the English
property, farm, manor, or village in or over which
they had obtained authority. As a rule that method
was not adopted in England by the Normans holding
positions of political, social, or military importance.
These higher placed men clung to their Norman
names, however large their estates in England. This
fact is generally accepted as being a proof of their
good rank and intelligence in both countries. The
Scoville family must be included in the latter category,
not merely by choice, but because such an inclusion,
most fortunately, is unavoidable.

In further support or confirmation of the positions
that we have taken, (i) that the first Scoville in Eng-
land did not leave Normandy as a surnameless man
(as did many of the poorer emigrants), and (ii) that
the surname of de Scoville was not first applied in
England as a surname, and applied to a man arriving
therein simply because he happened to have come
from Escoville in Normandy, we may quote from a

13

Close Roll of the year 1227 an entry which proves that
the surname of de Scoville was extant in Normandy
as early as in England (and doubtless earlier) and
that it continued in Normandy for many years after
it became a fixture in England. (The Close Rolls
are letters dictated by the king of England, or ad-
dressed in his name, to individuals, for special and
particular purposes; they contain the commands of
the sovereign upon all matters, little and great, to all
manner of persons, great or small; and they were
folded or closed up and sealed on the outside with
the Great Seal of England, copies being retained.)

Close Rolls. 11 Henry III (year 1227). Translation: —

"For two merchants of Bordeaux.

"The King to the bailiffs of the port of Southampton, greeting.
Peter de Caduliac and Peter Ricardi, merchants of Bordeaux,
have declared unto us that when a certain ship laden with their
wines put into Harfleur in Normandy, Ernulf de Scoville, a
merchant of Harfleur, robbed that ship and despoiled them of
their wines. Therefore we command you that, when the said
Ernulf shall come into your port, or if he be to be found there,
as we have heard, with his ship laden with corn, you shall cause
his body to be arrested, and the ship to be kept in safe custody
with the corn and all the goods therein contained, until we shall
send you further order thereupon. Witness the King at West-
minster on the 10th day of April."

Piracy was so commonly indulged in by both the
French and English, along each other's coasts, that
the above record of a Scoville should not now be
deemed as the record of an occurrence very unusual
before the sixteenth century.

One of the authorities upon the origin and mean-
ing of British family names (Bardsley) in A Dictionary
of English, Welsh and Scotch Surnames, agrees with all
etymologists that the surname of Scoville (however
written) was taken from the place-name of Escoville
in Normandy, and brought into England by a citizen

14

of that place. But Bardsley errs in adding — "There
can be little doubt that Scobell and Scoble are vari-
ants" (of Scoville). Lower in Patronymica Britannica
ignores such variants. Our investigation confirms
the belief of Lower that Scobell and Scoble are, more
properly, variants and phonetic contractions of Scob-
bahill, a surname found of early record in the south-
west of England and derived from the place-name of
Scobbahill (ScobbahuU, Scobbehyll) in Cornwall, on
the border of Devon, where was also a manor of
"ScobhuU" in 143 L There are only a very few in-
stances of the name of a Scoville being written as
Scobell; and these instances are clearly accounted
for as being isolated and ephemeral misconceptions
of record-keepers.

The variants that we have found of the surname of
De Escoville are de Scoville, de Scouville, de Scovill,
de Scovile, de Schovill, de Scolvile, de Scovyll, de
Scovilla, de Schovell, Schovile, Scowile, Scovyle,
Scovile, Scovell, Scovel, Scovylle, Skovile, Skovell,
Scovill, Scoville, and Scowle. The true, original,
and correct spelling of this family name is Scoville.
The last in the list of variants, found recorded in
the possessive sense as Scowles, is an English corrup-
tion extremely provincial. Scowles, as a variant of
Scoville, had nothing to do with the facial expression
of any man.

The Scoville name and blood having originated
in Normandy, that province of France "not less in-
teresting or worthy of remembrance than that of the
greatest empires," the living bearers of that family
name are referred to Freeman's History of the Nor-
man Conquest of England, and to various books of
charming travel in Normandy, as the writer has not
been accorded sufficient space in this book for an
account of the old Normans of Escoville and its en-

15

vironment. Briefly, we may observe that the Scovilles
of Escoville, like many other Norman famiHes of the
eleventh and twelfth centuries, may have been able
to trace back to the virile Norwegians of the tenth
century who overran Normandy. Freeman states
that the people of Normandy in the eleventh century
had become "the most turbulent and aggressive class
in Europe." Some historians have exalted the Nor-
mans as having been the bearers into England in 1066
of the highest culture in the arts and the most en-
lightened Christianity of that time. Other writers
have condemned the Norman invaders of England as
"twenty thousand thieves .... greedy and fero-
cious dragons .... who burned, harried, violated,
tortured and killed until everything English was
brought to the verge of ruin."* Freeman does not
spare them from much criticism; however, he, as
a Saxon descendant, wrote as a pro-Saxon sympathizer
the best short history of the Conquest. The En-
cyclopedia Britannica (Eleventh Edition, 1911) refers
more favorably to the Normans.

As the Scovilles made their advent into England
either with, or ere very long after, the embarkation
of the Norman army from the port of Dives, the
Scoville descendants may find pleasure in seeing at
Dives near Escoville, or in reading here below, the
inscription upon the column erected at Dives to com-
memorate the departure of the Normans for England
in 1066 (translation): —

"The modest column which is placed here will tell to our
countrymen, to travelers and to seamen, that at the foot of
this slope, at the mouth of the Dives, Duke William assembled
the fleet which transported his ' powerful army to the coast
of England, after having tarried some time at St. Vallery.
It will recall to mind that this army encamped during a month

upon this shore before its embarkation. Dives was in the
eleventh century one of the chief ports of the Duchy. It was
the natural port of this vast plain which separates us from
Falaise, the cradle of the Conqueror. It was the port of
I'Hiemois, of Seez, and of the Comte de Alenfon. From the
plains of Falaise and I'Hiemois the Duke may have shown
his captains the eminence upon which this monument stands,
for it is visible for fifteen leagues [forty-five miles] in every
direction. He may have said to them : —

" */e vous donne rendezvous sur cette colline au pied de laquelle
vous trouverez mafiotte.'"

(I will meet you on this hill, at the foot of which you will
find my fleet.)

II

Lords of the soil, lords of the ville, lords of the petty
law, the masters of men and of the mart, and knights
of the sword, helmet, and armor, — such were the
Scovilles of England during the period of the ascend-
ency of the Normans over the Anglo-Saxons. This
ascendency lasted through eight generations of
Scovilles.

Wessex was the realm of Scoville manorial su-
premacy. Wessex was the chief theater of Scoville
activity and development through five centuries.
Into Wessex came the name of Scoville from Nor-
mandy. Out of Wessex went the name and blood
of Scoville to America.

Wessex was the kingdom of the West Saxons, as
Essex of the East Saxons, and Sussex of the South
Saxons. Each section had its own ruler prior to the
year 828, in which Egbert compelled them all to be-
come his vassals, and thus became the first king of
all England. Wessex was subdued and settled by
bands of Saxons who came from the continent under
Cerdic in 495. In 520 the Saxons first met a decided
check, if we may believe tradition, at the hands of
King Arthur, at Badbury in Dorset, at which time
and place Arthur's mighty sword "Excalibur" and

17

his stout Welsh spearmen proved irresistible. The
heathen Saxons, however, had come to stay and soon
drove back the Christian Britons to the fastnesses of
Wales and Cornwall. Wessex comprised substantially
what are now the counties of Devon, Dorset, Somer-
set, Wiltshire, and Hampshire with parts of Berkshire.
In the reign of King Alfred, grandson of Egbert (871
to 901), it comprised the main portion of the Saxon
dominion, all the eastern and northern portions of
England being then in the possession of the Danes,
although Alfred by a final victory over them com-
pelled them to be his vassals, thus keeping, somewhat
imperfectly, his claim to be king of all England as his
grandfather had been. The northern boundary of
early Wessex was the rivers Thames, I sis, and Severn,
Mid -Wessex is the Scoville country. Of the various
kingdoms of the Saxon heptarchy Wessex was the
fairest, richest, and at one time the most powerful
of them all. The Scovilles were settled in Wessex
before the old Saxon divisions of southern England
were quite lost sight of in the political and geo-
graphical reconstruction and subdivision of England
into counties. After the year 1400 our narrative is
confined almost wholly to those "Dorsetian fields"
which have become so popular in modern public
interest and taste through the lyrics of William Barnes
and the novels of Thomas Hardy.* Thousands of
strangers yearly visit the beautiful hinterland of the
Dorset littoral of which Michael Drayton wrote: —

"As thou hast heere a hill, a vale there, there a flood,
A mead here, there a heath, and now and then a wood."

We shall reveal those Scovilles in a line of descent
from 1194 to 1660 that is only slightly broken, and
where broken, incomplete almost, — save for a Chris-

18

tian name of a Scoville, — and still remaining so broken
only because of gaps in the records that cannot be
filled now, but which nevertheless leave us deductions
that are too logical to be avoided, and also afford
circumstantial evidence that reveals moral certainties
where the once recorded official proof has decayed.

"Ralph de Scoville" is the first Scoville now of
known record in the world. He appears of unques-
tionable record first in 1194, then in 1215 and in 1227.
It is now unlikely that any earlier mention of a
Scoville is findable. It is even more unlikely that
an earlier Scoville record ever will be found. The
only important and reliable and official records of
England, between 1066 and 1194, still existing, are
the Domesday Book and the Great Rolls of the Pipe.
Neither of these contain the name of Scoville. The
Domesday Book is not complete for all parts of Eng-
land; and the Pipe Rolls are not in any way to be
considered as containing a general list of the inhab-
itants, the Domesday Book likewise. The Pipe Rolls
for the years 1170, 1175, 1176, 1177, contain the
name of one ''William Escorcheveille " (also written
Escorceville). His surname is similar to Scoville;
but the Pipe Rolls were so carefully written, as a
national record of great importance, and so free from
errors that we are unable to accept this name as hav-
ing applied to a Scoville, without further evidence.*

*Lest the reader take Escorcheveille as a primitive form of Scoville, it
should be stated that Escorcheveille was written later Scarvill, Scarvell,
Scoreville, Scorvell, and Scorceville, never Scoville. The two families and
their names are distinct.

The following is worthy of note. Mrs. Melville A. Scovell of Kan-
sas City has called my attention to a passage found by her in a volume
in the British Museum, entitled "Vie du R. P. de Scouville" (Jesuit Mis-
sionary). The passage reads in part as follows: "Scouville ou Scoville est
une hameau de la commune de MohivUle et a tour jours fait partie de la paroisse
de son chef lieu; jadis du district de PoUvache, il appartient aujourd'hui a
I'arrondissement de Dinant, province de Namur. Cest de la que les Scouville
tirent leur nom et leur extraction." (Translation.) "Scouville or Scoville
is a hamlet of the town of Mohiville and has always been a part of the parish

19

Ralph de Scoville had a son of record as a land-
holder in 1205 and as a knight in 1215; and Ralph
is not of record after 1217. This suggests that he
was born between 1130 and 1150. Ralph de Scoville,
being of record in 1194, as a knight and landlord, was
probably born in England. Therefore without any
undue presumption it may be logically inferred that
he was the son, grandson, or more remotely, the
great-grandson of the first Scoville who came into
England from Escoville, Normandy, not so very long
after the year of the Conquest, 1066.

Important, indeed, and illuminating is the brief
record of Ralph de Scoville in the principal court of
justice of England in the time of King Richard I, —
Richard the Crusader who was ransomed from his
captors and returned to England from the Holy Land
in the same year of the record of Ralph. This court
was the court of the King's Bench, the oldest court
of record in England of which the records are pre-
served. Previous to the establishment (only a few
years before 1194) of this court of trial by jury the
settlement of civil disputes and claims was by a re-
sort to a personal combat, schoolboy fashion, between
a plaintiff and defendant. Here is a translation of
the court record which designates Ralph de Scoville
as a knight, — not a knight by the mere virtue of
possessing land to the value of £20, every owner of
which amount was compelled to be knighted in 1278,

of its chief place. Formerly it was a part of the district of Poilvache, but
it belongs to-day to the arrondissement of Dinant, province of Namur. It
is from the name of this hamlet that the Scouvilles or Scovilles draw their
name and origin." It is further stated in the volume here referred to that
the name appears among the magistrates, who for centuries were exclusively
men of high lineage.

The places here named lie in southern Belgium, near the French border.
This region has not usually been considered as a source of emigration to
England in the twelfth century. But if this hamlet existed at that time,
it is not impossible that a man deriving his name from this little place should
have reached England and founded a family there.

In Holland the name Schovel occurs, but the connection, if any, with
this family of the Dinant region is unknown to me. — H. W. B.

or solely as a knight of the shire (member of parlia-
ment), but a true knight of England in both the civil
and military meanings, or, in words more specific,
a man owning a knight's fee of land or who had re-
ceived the honor of knighthood from the king, by
being touched upon the shoulder with a sword held
in the hand of the king; hence we have judged, and
may continue to judge, of the quality of the men of
the Scoville family in the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries by this fact of knighthood. Ralph de Sco-
ville may have been even a crusader-knight in the
third crusade of 1189-1192 under Richard I.

"Hammond Passelewe, one of the three Knights who ought
to elect the twelve to make the great assize between Walter de
La Haie and Hammond de Gernum excused his absence by Robert,
son of William, pledging his faith against the coming of the Justices
to those parts. But a day is given to the Knights who came , to wit :
Ralph de Scoville, and William Raviel and Ralph Dairel."

Thus Ralph de Scoville was the first named of
the three knights whose privilege it was to choose
the jury of twelve for an important trial; and he
came when he was expected, to the county seat or
shire town of the county of Buckingham. He may
have been residing in this county in 1194. He was,
doubtless, lord of the manor of "Turveston" (modernly
called Turweston), as will be evidenced shortly. That
he held land in the county of Buckingham is attested
by the above record, regardless of whether he resided
therein altogether or not. That he had descendants
or heirs in that county by the name of Scoville will
be established shortly, though his principal posses-
sions appear to have been elsewhere. The court was
one of which sessions were held in the various counties
by the itinerant justices.

21

Subsequent records indicate that the land owned
by Ralph de Scoville in the county of Buckingham
became the inheritance of a Laurence de Scoville as
early as 1218, — also that Ralph de Scoville had a son
named Humphrey. Laurence and Humphrey were
probably brothers. Humphrey is found as a land-
lord residing in Wiltshire on land granted to him by
his father Ralph. The latter seems to have died
about the year 1217. Laurence de Scoville brought
a suit of novel disseisin against Humphrey in the
year 1218, whereby Laurence acquired full title to
any right of Humphrey in the manorial estate in
Buckinghamshire upon such terms as the court de-
creed.

that we have appointed Martin de Pateshull, Ralph Hareng
[ton] and Robert Amaury, our justices, to take the assize of
novel disseisin* which Laurentia de Scoville arraigned against
Humphrey de Scoville before our Justices in eyref in your
county as to the freehold of the said Laurentia in Turveston;
and we have commanded the said justices to come together

justice belongs, according to the law and custom of our kingdom
of England. And therefore we command you to cause that
assize to come before them for that purpose on the day and
at the place by them appointed. Witness the Earl himself
at Oxford on the 11th day of August."

Descendants and heirs of Laurence de Scoville
continued to hold the manor of Turweston. How-
ever, we have found no evidence that the Scovilles
remained in such possession as long as into the fifteenth
century; hence this early branch of the family has

no bearing upon the Scovilles of Mid-Wessex from
whom, all indications point, issued the seventeenth-
century branch of the Scovilles which became trans-
planted into New England.

Splendid proof of the manorial lordship of the
Scovilles at Turweston is found in the Hundred Rolls
of 1272. These national records of England prove
(i) that the manor of or at Turweston consisted of
five farms or hides, a hide being enough land to sup-
port a family, the whole five hides amounting to be-
tween four and five hundred acres, a very good estate;
(ii) that one farm was in the personal occupancy of
the Scoville lord of the manor, or lord of the ville,
with the others in the occupancy of his tenants; (iii)
that eight and one half virgates (small measures of
land similar to house lots or gardens, and probably
each including a cottage) were rented to villeins
(tenants politically unfree), who were subject to the
will of the lord of the manor; (iv) that one of the
tenants was able to pay to the Scoville lord six shil-
lings yearly (about twenty times more by present
reckoning), as rent and for exemption from being
called upon to labor for and at the call of his lordly
master, (but this tenant, however, did have to pay
merchet, a fine for being allowed by the lord of the
manor to give his daughter in marriage) ; (v) that the
Scoville lord of the manor owned the advowson of
the parish church of Turweston and appointed the
priest thereof; (vi) and that the lord held jurisdiction
over his tenants in the court of his manor, for the
determining of all matters of rental and for the ad-
judicating of all matters of petty disputes among
tenants, and for punishing offenses against the ordi-
nances of the manor. The record of this Scoville
feudal lordship reads: —

"Umphrey de Scolvile is lord of Turviston, and has five
hides of land in that place, one hide whereof is in demesne,
with the advowson of the church and two acres of wood. Also
he has in villeinage eight and one half virgates of land whereof
Henry de Faringho holds one virgate, and pays yearly for
his work and service six shillings, and does merchet."

This Humphrey de Scoville was not the aforesaid
Humphrey, son of Ralph de Scoville, but, like the
Baldwin de Scoville of the following record, was, there
is no reason to doubt, a son of the said Laurence de
Scoville. Laurence had conveyed to Humphrey before
the year 1282, by a grant or as a bequest, either the
whole or a part of the manor of Turweston; and this
Humphrey was dead by the same year, leaving his
younger brother Baldwin as his heir. The passing
of this manor from the Scovilles began in 1282 when
Baldwin de Scoville alienated one third of it, as per
this record found in Placitorum Abbreviatia of the
Curia Regis, viz. : —

Norfolk. Baldwin de Scovile, brother and heir of Humphrey de
Scoville, gives to Simon, son of William de Thorpe, the third
part of the manor of Tharveston and the advowson of the
church there, to have to him and his heirs."

Simon may have been either a brother-in-law, or
son-in-law, of Baldwin de Scovile, as is implied by
the word "gives" being unaccompanied by any ref-
erence to a compensation, and by the plea for the
privilege of so giving having been entered in the
King's Court, — the fundamental title to all manorial
lordships being invested in the king, subject to his
reclamation for treason or other serious offense against
his pleasure, and not to be alienated without license
from the Crown or a court. We are now done with

24

Buckinghamshire, save for a reference to Turweston
itself, as the place where the first known Scoville,
Ralph de Scoville of 1194, first appears in recorded
history. Thereafter we are to present two other
records of him and to follow him and another of his
immediate heirs into northern Mid-Wessex.

Turweston is a small parish situated at the extreme
northwestern verge of the county of Buckingham
on the boundary of Northamptonshire in the hundred
of Buckingham, with Bittlesden on the north, Shalston
and Westbury on the south, and Brackley and the
river Ouse on the west. The History and Antiquities
of the County of Buckingham, by George Lipscomb,
1847, gives a very brief account of Turweston, without
attempting to name but a few of the ancient lords of
it. He names the Scovilles, but in doing so errs in
printing the name as "Stovill" (vol. 3, page 127):
"The manor was holden, in the time of Edward the
Confessor [before the Conquest], as the Manor of
Wenes or Wenesus, the King's Chamberlain, who
could sell it. It was transferred by the Conqueror,
to William de Felgeres, who held Turweston, taxed
as five hides. There was then land for eight ploughs,
and five hides more. In the demesne were three
carucates of land, and one plough, to which two
more might have been added; and six villeins,* with
four bordars,t had five ploughs. There were four
servants; one mill, of seven shillings and six pence
rent; and pasture for eight teams; altogether con-
stantly valued at £4, except in the time of King
Edward, it being then worth one hundred shillings."

"Before the reign of Edward I the manor had
successively passed from the families of Fulgeres,
Stovill, and Baynell; but being forfeited to the Crown

was by Edward I bestowed upon the Convent of
Westminster."

Lipscomb, the historian of Buckinghamshire,
evidently did not see the Scoville documents that
we have discovered; if he had and had translated
them accurately, he would have observed that the
second letter in the name was c, not /, and that the
manor of Turweston did not wholly pass from the
possession of the Scovilles before Edward I (1272),
but is of record as having been theirs in 1282. The
presentments of the rectors to the parish church of
Turweston did not commence until 1307 by the Con-
vent of Westminster.

Lipscomb gives the list of rectors from 1170,
among which he names: ''Ralph de St. German
presented in 1234 by Sir Humphrey Stovil,* Knt.
and ''Humphrey de Stovill,*' presented in 1271, by the
Lady Emma de Turweton." She may have been
a Scoville daughter or widow remarried, for the
advowson was given in 1282 by Baldwin de Scoville
to his probable nephew, Simon de Thorpe. Lips-
comb's reference to the parish church of the Assump-
tion of the Blessed Virgin Mary is worth quoting as
parts of the building that were visible to early Scoville
eyes remain : —

(The church) "consists of a nave, with two aisles; a chancel
at the east end; and a very low tower, with a projecting turret,
at its southeastern angle. The chancel is covered with thick,
coarse slates; and in the tower are two small bells, cast in
1626. At the east end is a handsome muUioned window, with
three ranges of lights; in the lower three large cinquef oil-headed
lights; above them six with trefoil heads and in the upper
tier, two in the centre with trefoil heads. In this window are
numerous fragments of coloured glass, collected from several
other windows. There are four windows in the chancel, lancet
shaped. At the east and west ends of the nave are lofty pointed

*Scoville.

arches; and in the floor many old figured tiles. Between the
nave and aisles, on each side, are two semicircular arches,
resting on a pillar and two strong piers. The font is low, cir-
cular, and has a narrow sculptured border of wreathed carving.
In the north wall of the chancel, within the communion rails,
is a low bracket arch,* with elaborately flowered cornice, pin-
nacles and finial. Inserted in a large slab in the floor near the
north wall and within the rails, is the effigy of a Priest, in brass,
but the inscription which was on a small plate at his feet has
been removed. In the floor of the nave was a slab with figures
of a male, between two females, one having a close muffled
head-dress."

The second item concerning Ralph de Scoville
reveals that sometime between 1199 and 1205 King
John, for a sum many times larger by present reckon-
ing than the amount named in the grant, conveyed
to Ralph the right to hold in capite (as a tenant-in-
chief of the king) and to sublet lands in Helpington
(now Hilperton in Melkesham Hundred, Wiltshire),
and in Herling and Chel worth. The Fine Rolls record
the succession of heirs, the descent and gift of manorial
property from father to son, etc.

"Ralph de Scoville gives the Lord the King 40 marks for
having such seisin of his land of Helprington, Herling and
Chelewurth, which his son Humphrey holds, as he had on
the day on which the agreement was made between them con-
cerning the same land. And a mandate was issued to the
sheriff to take security from him for the payment of that 40
marks, and then to give him full seisin of the aforesaid land,
which is in his bailiwick, as is aforesaid, without delay, and to
direct the others who, etc. to cause him to have seisin of the

Cheleworth were not in the county of Wiltshire; the

to have been East Hading in the county of Norfolk,

1270, doubtless some descendants or heirs of Ralph
de Scoville, with whom we need not be concerned,

The third and last existing record of Ralph de
Scoville first revealed as the first known ancestor of
the Scoville family, establishes three facts that are
both important and splendid: (i) that his landed
possessions lay in four separate counties of England,
viz., Buckingham, Wilts, Somerset, and Hants, he
having been thus a manorial lord in at least the three

28

shires first named and so approaching in status to
a position somewhat baronial; (ii) that the estate
he held at Brockley in Somersetshire descended direct
to his son Humphrey de Scoville, and became the
seat of this branch of his family for several genera-
tions; and (iii) that the said Ralph de Scoville was
one of those manorial lords who joined with the great
barons of England in forcing their King John to sign
the Magna Charta, the great declaration of inde-
pendence by Englishmen. When these English barons
and their minor landlords manifested an opposition
to the policies of King John, amounting more or less
to what was then deemed treason, the king made
reprisals upon their possessions; he confiscated their
estates, and granted the same to other barons who
were submissive to him. A letter from King Henry
HI, son to King John, to John's great captain and
half-brother, William the Earl of Salisbury, evidences
the grant to Hugh de Vivonia, a follower of King John,
of land at Brockley, the title to which had been taken
from Ralph de Scoville.

Public Record Office, London.

Close Rolls. 1 Henry III (year 1217). Translated ab-
stract:—

"The King to William, Earl of Salisbury. Know that
we have granted to our well-beloved and trusty Roger la Zuche
all the lands of our enemies which are of his fee, and therefore
we command you to cause the said Roger without delay, to
have full seisin therefor in your bailiwick. Witness the Earl
at Winchester on the 4th day of April. In the same way it
was written to Hugh de Vivonia on behalf of the same Roger
for giving him seisin of the land which was Ralph de Scoville's
in Brokele, which the same Ralph held of his fee. Witness
the Earl at Winchester on the 4th day of April."

De la Zouche and de Vivonia were baronial land-
lords of Norman descent and the land at Brockley,
held by Ralph de Scoville, was taken shortly before

29

the death of King John* and granted and confirmed
to de Vivonia by Henry III about six months after
the death of John. Humphrey de Scoville, son of
Ralph, also had taken from him some portion of his
lands in Wiltshire and Hants. This fact implies
that he was suspected, at least, of being a supporter
of the barons against King John. The first of the
two following records of Humphrey shows that he
was a knight in the service of the great lord Roger
de la Zouche, and that in 1215, through some prot-
estation on his own part, and perhaps through the
favor of de la Zouche, secured the prompt restora-
tion to himself of some of his land. Humphrey may
not have taken the oath of allegiance demanded
throughout England by King John early in the same
year : —

Public Record Office, London.
Close Rolls. 17 John (year 1215). Translation:—
"Humphrey de Scoville, Knight of Roger de la Church
[Zouche], has close letters of protection [sealed with the great
seal of England] directed to G. de Neville, the Chamberlain
and Thomas de Sanford, and we command that without delay
they should cause to be returned to him what they took in his
land of Helprinton. Witness myself [King John] at Rochester
on the 14th day of October."

The date of this partial restoration is just four
months after John was forced to sign the Magna
Charta. That Humphrey de Scoville was more of
a supporter of the barons than the foregoing record
indicates is proven by another record showing that
it was not until two years and eight days later, eight
months after the death of King John, that further
restoration of property to him and full rehabilitation
in the good graces of the king occurred.

"The King to the sheriffs of Southampton and Wiltshire,
greeting: Know that Humphrey de Scouville has returned

him to have seisin without delay of all lands in your bailiwicks
as the same Humphrey had thereof on the day when he de-
parted from the service of the Lord King John our father.
Witness the Earl [of Salisbury] himself at Stanwell on the
23rd day of June,"

Humphrey de Scoville being thus proved to have
been an adherent of the barons against King John,
we may say, further, that it is not unlikely that he
was one of the 2,000 knights who with the barons
met the king at Oxford at Easter, 1215, and who
when London came over to their side forced him to
grant the reforms contained in Magna Charta, signed
at Runnymede Island in the Thames, June 15, 1215.

John no sooner had signed the Great Charter than
he tried to repudiate it and hired bands of mercenaries
on the continent to ravage England. In this he was
assisted by Pope Innocent III, whose vassal John
had become, and who threatened the barons with
the then dreaded penalty of excommunication. The
barons next offered the crown to Louis, son of Philip
of France. Louis landed with an army on May 26,
1216, and was soon master of the southern counties,
capturing John's capital, Winchester. Deserted by
nearly all the barons, John marched his own army
towards Scotland, subdued the northern barons, and
then tried to cut off the retreat of the army of the
King of Scots (which came to Dover to do homage to
Louis), when he (John) was suddenly taken ill and
died at Newark in the north of England, Oct. 19,
1216. Louis, finding that both the church and the
barons preferred an English king to a foreign one,
now retired to France, and the nine-year-old son of

31

King John was crowned as King Henry III. This
fact probably explains the apparent ease by which
the Scovilles obtained the restitution of the con-
fiscated lands.

Ill

Brockley in Somersetshire was the possession of
the Scovilles for nine generations beginning with
Ralph de Scoville. Hilperton in Wiltshire thirty
miles east of Brockley is last found recorded as a
Scoville possession in 1272. As early as 1254 an off-
shoot of the family took root in Dorset, the county
adjoining on the south both Somerset and Wiltshire.
It has not been found possible to determine whether
the first Scoville to appear in Dorset went thereto
from Brockley or Hilperton [Helprinton]. As Ralph
de Scoville originally owned both Brockley and Hil-
perton, and his male heirs separately succeeded to
these estates, and as no early record appears of Sco-
villes in Wessex other than in these two branches at
Brockley and Hilperton, we are at liberty to con-
sider that one of the younger sons thereat established
himself in Dorset and there began the branch of the
family that proved the most prolific and the most
enduring of any of the Scovilles of England. Before
analyzing the Scoville records of Dorset, for the
splendid revelations that we have been able to develop
therefrom, it is essential to quote the remaining rec-
ords as to Brockley and Hilperton, and to erect from
them the pedigree of eight generations.

Humphrey de Scoville, son of Ralph de Scoville
of 1194, was summoned to court in 1227, but sent an
excuse by a friend, William de Brockley, for not ap-
pearing, viz.: —

The said Humphrey must have died before 1265
unless he lived to be about ninety years of age. If
he so lived then the following item refers to him; if
not, it refers to the Humphrey of the next generation
who obtained a passport and safe conduct before

purtenances, in the same vill, as of her dower. And execution
of the same judgment, because the aforesaid father, etc. aban-
doned the rule of the kingdom, (Edward II deposed in 1327),
still remains to be done, — that by good and legal men of his
county he [the sheriff of Somerset] should make known to the
aforesaid Humphrey, Simunda and Lucy that they should be
here on this day, that is 15 days from the day of Holy Trinity,
to show if they had anything on their behalf or could say why
the aforesaid Margery ought not to have her seisin of the afore-
said thirds with appurtenances as aforesaid, if etc. And they
did not come. And the Sheriff now gives information that
he made known to the aforesaid Humphrey, Simunda and

(This last document by the words "as of her dower"
and "thirds" indicates that IMargery was the sister
of Humphrey and Lucy.)

ScoviLLE Coats of Arms.
It is worth noting that the public display by the
armorial families of England of the coats-of-arms of
their ancestors upon various kinds of private prop-
erty, whereon such a display is interpreted by the
Government of England as constituting a "use" of
the arms, has declined very greatly of late years. It
is now almost the rule to avoid such use of armorial
bearings. Two factors that have led to this decline
are good judgment in view of the democratic tend-
encies of recent times and the annual tax of two

37

pounds ten shillings (thirteen dollars) for a license to
"use" a coat-of-arms in England. The tax has
been avoided by many families, not as a matter of
economy, but for principle, on the ground that they
should not be taxed upon personal property so in-
trinsically valueless as a coat-of-arms, their inherited
right to the possession of which bearing is non-taxable.
One of the heralds of the College of Arms of London
was recently convicted in court and paid his fine for
using his coat-of-arms without a license.

The Herald's Court, which formerly held sessions
at the College of Arms, London, for the purpose of
granting or confirming coats-of-arms to individuals,
has been defunct for generations. The College itself,
so far as concerns coats-of-arms, has ceased to be an
official institution, a part of the Government, as
formerly. Its activities in those respects are now
upon a commercial basis.

Only three coats-of-arms need be considered as
in any way belonging by any possibility to the Sco-
ville families in general, viz. : —

(1) Schovel of Holland. Azure, a fesse of gold between
three shoveller ducks of silver, with beaks and limbs of gold.
{Armorial Generale, J. B. Rietstap, vol. 2, page 729.)

This first bearing should not be considered as
having any possible relation to John and Arthur
Scoville, the founders of their family in New England,
or to any of their ancestors in England.

(2) "Scowles. Jasper Scowles of Charlton, parish of Wan-
tage, Berkshire [England]. Gules, on a chevron between three
escallops argent, as many mullets of the field. Crest, a demi-
lion, rampant, ermine, holding in his paw an escallop argent.
Granted 10 July 1613." (Fairbairn's Book of Crests, vol. 1,
page 497, and Encyclopedia Heraldica, William Berry, vol. 5,
fo. 5, page 2.)

This second bearing also should not be considered
as having any possible relation to John and Arthur

Scoville, the founders of their family in New England,
or to any of their ancestors in England.

(3) When the herald of the College of Arms, in
the year 1623, made his visitation of Somersetshire
to receive proofs from the gentlemen of that county
of their right to bear coats-of-arms, evidence thereon
was supplied to him then by the descendants of that
Nicholas Harvy who had married a Scoville daughter
and heiress some generations before 1623. This evi-
dence consisted of a pedigree, duly attested by the
descendant and accepted by the herald. It was
accompanied by a description of the arms borne by
the family of Harvy. This bearing contained the
coat-of-arms of Scoville quartered on the Harvy
shield with the arms of the Harvys, and was so borne
by right of the Harvy-Scoville marriage indicated in
the pedigree submitted under oath to the herald.
The Scoville arms therein are thus described : —

"Or, a fesse gules between three mascles azure."

{The Visitation of the County of Somerset in the year 1623,

page 47, published by the Harleian Society, and taken from

Harleian MS. No. 1141.)

This third bearing was the coat-of-arms of the
Scovilles of Brockley, Somersetshire, last represented
there in the direct male line by John "Scovile," "the
third part of whose land did descend to Nicho. Harvy,
and the other two parts to Elinor and Alice, the
sisters of Elizabeth (Scoville) Harvy." This pedigree
may be accepted as indicating that this Scoville
coat-of-arms was borne by Humphrey Scoville, father
of the said John "Scovile." As Humphrey seems to
have had a son "of age" in 1416 or 1420, his birth
may be placed circa 1360-1370. This coat-of-arms
may have been originally granted to this Humphrey
Scoville; if so, it can have no known direct bearing
upon the early Scoville emigrants to New England,

or to their living descendants. However it is none
the less likely that this Scoville coat-of-arms was
created before the time of this Humphrey Scoville,
born circa 1360-1370. It is not unreasonable to
consider that some form of this bearing was used by
Sir Ralph de Scoville, a knight in the year 1194 and
lord of the manors of Brockley, Turweston, etc. It
is even possible that some feature of the device was
used as a personal mark, or emblem, by the first
Scoville who settled in England; but the further
back we place the coat-of-arms prior to 1400, the less
probable becomes its actual existence so anciently.
When or by whom this bearing was first designed or
adopted cannot now be determined, but it should
be remembered that the most important Scovilles
in the affairs of England were those of the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries. The arms are now of
actual, original record only in connection with the
Scovilles of Brockley. William de Scoville was at-
torney for the abbess of Shaftesbury in Dorset in the
year 1214; and the Dorset branch of the family was
surely established in that county during the first half
of the thirteenth century. Unless the coat-of-arms
was used by him, or before him, or by his immediate
successors, the Scovilles later of Dorset could not
claim and the Scovilles now in America cannot claim
the right to use the arms by virtue of a direct descent
from any Scoville of England to whom they were
originally granted, or who at any time in England
inherited and bore them; but as the line of the Sco-
villes of Brockley, as far as discoverable, became
extinct long before the founding of New England,
it is well that this coat-of-arms should be esteemed
by those who now bear the name of Scoville, like any
other item or fact of data upon the ancient Scovilles,
as something to he preserved. This coat-of-arms is

40

very old in English heraldry. It appears to have
been borne at least five hundred years ago. If it is
to be preserved, there is another fact of interest in
that connection: living Scovilles of England are
extremely few in number compared to the Scovilles
now in the United States; and the latter now far
outnumber all the bearers of their surname who ever
lived, contemporaneously, an3^where else in the world.
There is no known crest and no motto belonging
to the coat-of-arms of the Scoville family anciently
of Brockley, Somersetshire. The only permissible
representation of this bearing, in black and white,
or in colors, is that of a simple shield of gold, bearing
the fesse of red, and the three mascles of blue open
in the center and showing the gold field beneath. A
ribbon bearing the name Scoville may be added beneath
the shield.* Before our investigations in England
began, it was believed in some quarters that the
Scobell (Scobbahill) family of England was a branch
of the Scovilles; and the Scobell crest of a fleur-de-lis
has been published in America as a part of the Sco-
ville coat-of-arms. That was incorrect. Equally im-
possible was the application to the Scovilles of the
motto of the Colville family, ''Ad Finem Fidelis."

"Or" is a French word, signifying gold, represented in
English heraldry also by a yellow color. Heraldic writers assert
that it represents the cardinal Christian and worldly virtues.

"Mascle" (in French made; in Latin macula retium, cassium,
or rhombules evacuatos) is a figure of lozenge form, but always
perforated or voided, so that the field appears through the
opening. It differs from the shape of the fusil, in being shorter,
with the angles less obtuse. Some writers have imagined that
muscles represented the meshes of a net. Coats, in his Dictionary
of Heraldry, is of opinion that the Lords of Rohan were the
first who bore mascles in their arms, and although descended
from the ancient kings and princes of Brittany, adopted this

*A cut of these arms may be seen on the title page of this volume.
41

bearing, because in the vicinity of Rohan, afterwards erected
into a duchy, there was abundance of small flints, which being
cut in two, present the figure of a mascle on the inside of them;
and that the carp in the fish ponds of that duchy have the
same kind of a mark upon their scales, the which, being very
extraordinary and peculiar to that country, the ancient lords
of it, observing this wonderful natural appearance upon the
stone and fish, took them as bearings in their arms to transmit
them to posterity, giving them the name of mascles, from the
Latin word macula, signifying a spot or blemish, and from
which some of their descendants took for device or motto,
these words. Sine macula macla, a mascle without a spot.

"Fesse" (French, fasce, Lsitm fascia) is one of the ordinaries,
formed by two horizontal lines drawn across the field, and,
according to most writers, should contain one third part of
the escocheon. The fesse is supposed to represent the middle
belt, or girdle of honor. The fesse, like other ordinaries, should
be wider when charged (i. e., having heraldic figures upon it),
than when it is borne plain, and perhaps one third of the field
would then appear proportionable.

"Gules," one of the colors in heraldry, and signifies red.

{Encyclopedia Heraldica, vi. ff. 37, 3Dz, Eb2, Ee2.)

The pedigree of the Scovilles of Brockley which
follows is based upon the documents hereinbefore
quoted down to that Humphrey de Scoville who
married Elinor Panes. After that it is an exact copy
of the pedigree given in the Visitation of Somerset
in 1623, already referred to in the text.

This pedigree indicates that John and Joan (Bavent)
Scoville left no son, and that a portion of the Scoville
estate at Brockley descended to their three daughters.
The widow Joane Scoville married secondly William
Gascoigne, who became possessed thereby of one
knight's fee of land at Brockley. This is confirmed
by another record, viz.: —

Public Record Office, London.

Feudal Aids, 6 Henry VI (1428).

"Hundred of Cheweton, Somerset. From William Gas-
coigne for one Knight's fee in Brokelegh which Humphrey de
Scovill formerly held 6s 8d."

Thus the eighth generation of the Scovilles of
Brockley ended the landed dominion of this family
in that place. Thus ended two hundred and twenty-
six years of recorded Scoville manorial lordship.
Nowhere in England have we found a Scoville after
1420 as the lord of a manor. A feudal manor was
a certain circuit of ground granted by the king to
some baron, or man of worth, as an inheritance for
him and his heirs with the exercise of such jurisdic-
tion, within the same compass, as the king saw fit
to grant and subject to the performance of such
services and yearly rents as were by the grant re-
quired.

Brockley is a small parish nine miles southwest
from the port of Bristol on the Severn Sea, and three
miles north from Wrington, on the main highway from
Bristol to Weston super Mare, and two miles from
the Great Western Railway station of Bacwell. Rev.
John CoUinson, in his History and Antiquities of the
County of Somerset, wrote of Brockley: —

"The situation is very pleasant and consists of a great
variety of surface; and from some parts the prospects are very
beautiful. About a quarter of a mile eastward of the church
is a very fine romantick glen, called Brockley Combe, about
half-a-mile in length, and very narrow; each side being a steep
slope formed of rugged rocks mixed with timber trees, yews,
forest and other shrubs that grow out of the crevices of the
stone. In the deepest part the trees are very lofty and the
rocks almost inaccessible to the height of nearly three hundred
feet, projecting in many places through and towering above
the tops of the branches with a rude and astonishing grandeur.
The steep ascent and rugged surface of the rocks on each side
are rendered very romantick by the fantastically twisted forms
of the roots of many trees and shrubs which spring from the
crevices, and spread their branches in the most picturesque
manner. Along the bottom is a fine gravel walk, and nearly
in the center of the Combe is a neat cottage where many resort
to drink tea in the summer season. Also in Brockley are great
quantities of stone, composed of a great number of columnar
divisions, like the Giant's Causeway in Ireland; also a yew

IHrocklep. Wi)t $attst{) Cijurct)

tree seventeen feet in circumference. On a Harvey grave-
stone, dated 1652, in the chancel floor of the parish church of
St. Nicholas, were the arms of Harvey, sable, a fesse or, between
three squirrels sejant argent, cracking nuts, or. Crest, a squirrel
sejant argent, tail or, cracking a nut, or.''

Sable, black; or, gold; argent, silver; sejant, sitting.

Readers of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge will
remember his love for Brockley Combe, expressed
in his lines: —

"With many a pause and oft reverted eye
I climb the coomb's ascent; sweet songsters near
Warble in shade their wildwood melody :
Far off, the unvarying cuckoo soothes my ear,
Up scour the starling stragglers of the flock
That on green plots o'er precipices browse:
From the forced fissures of the naked rock
The yew tree bursts! Beneath its dark green boughs
(Mid which the May-thorn blends its blossoms white).
Where broad smooth stones jut out in mossy seats
I rest; and now have gained the topmost site.
Ah ! what a luxury of landscape meets
My gaze! Proud towers and cots more dear to me;
Elm-shadowed fields, and prospect-bounding sea."

IV

It was stated on page eighteen that a branch of
the family of Scoville of England became fixed in the
thirteenth century, in Dorset, the county in Wessex
bordering upon the south of Somersetshire and Wilt-
shire, and distant from Hilperton and Brockley some
thirty-five miles. Therefore, of necessity, we have
come to Dorset, — into the parish of Corfe Castle, on
the Isle of Purbeck, therein. We shall show that
in this parish Scovilles, though few in number, abode
for a hundred years before one of them removed
therefrom, a few miles northward, to Wichampton
and Sturminster Marshall, which, with Shapwick
and the immediate vicinage of these three parishes
of mid- Dorset, form the little realm wherein we are

45

to uncover Scoville history most interesting and
important to Americans because in this district, we
believe, were born the emigrants to New England,
John and Arthur Scoville. [Each of them wrote his
name Scovell. — Ed.]

It was stated on page eighteen that it has been
found impossible for us to erect an unbroken pedigree
in a direct Hne of descent from 1194 to 1650. Such
a complete achievement nowadays is so seldom pos-
sible as to be unexpected. We shall point out in the
tables of descent the several indefinite spots, or what
may be called links weak from a want of records,
that have been long lost or that may lie hidden in
place unknown or at present unattainable. The
reader, be he a Scoville or a critic whose delight is
in destructiveness, is free to study the records and to
suit his own fancy regarding them, if he care to go
astray from the conclusions herein attained. He is
invited to try to weaken any link, if he will, or to
strengthen it, if he can. In unraveling the tangled
threads and illuminating the obscurity of ancient
records, — always a task requiring patience and the
intuitive perception born of experience and of love for
the work, and at times amounting almost to an in-
spiration,— we wear no crown of infallibility, nor
shall we borrow any such self-investiture from another
brow. The results hereinbefore and hereinafter laid
open to view, for the first time, are arranged in the
manner possible to our perception within the limita-
tions of the means that have been provided for this
undertaking. Now therefore let us proceed to relate,
to unravel, to construct, and to construe what further
data we have found, and to extract from their oft-
puzzling array that which becomes obvious in the
process, and to summon the logic of events where
proof absolute in the form of original written record

has disappeared. No man can do more; we would
be failing of performing our full duty if we did less.

Corfe Castle invites first notice. The name Corfe
Castle refers both to a parish and to the castle within
the parish. The castle is situated in the center of
that broad promontory of the Dorset coast lying
midway between the ports of Weymouth and Bourne-
mouth. The parish surrounds the castle and embraces
a large portion of the promontory called the Isle of
Purbeck because of its separation from the mainland
by the narrow river Frome. This isle is chiefly noted
for its quarries of Purbeck marble, worked from time
immemorial for ecclesiastical purposes. Brockley in
Somerset was also a source for building stone, and the
arrondissement of Caen in Normandy, embracing
the village of Escoville, is even more famous for its
Caen stone, of which were built many great cathedrals.
The Castle of Corfe was one of the most impregnable
fortresses in the kingdom of England. It is mentioned
in the records of King Alfred the Great; sometimes
it was the royal seat of the West Saxon (Wessex)
princes. The manor and the castle, which always
went together, were often granted to later princes
and to the favorites of the kings; almost as often they
reverted to the Crown by forfeiture and treason.
Extensive indeed, as well as spirited, is the literature
concerning Corfe Castle. Thomas Hardy has written
much about it. His Ethelberta viewed it on the
occasion of her going there when Lord Mountclere
invited her in order that his acquaintance with the
charming young widow might have an opportunity of
ripening.* Wilkinson Sherren, in The Wessex of
Romance^ says:

"The emphasis of the connexion of Wessex with the history

Antiquities of the County of Dorset, John Hutchins.

of England during the reigns of the first six Norman Kings must
be laid on Corfe Castle. Ages before the lords of this strong-
hold claimed the vessels and their lading from Languedoc
that were wrecked on the neighboring shore, the Celt seized
upon the naked hill, and after him the Saxon and the Dane.
Whoever in the days of its magnificence came to be constable
of that stronghold held within his iron-fibred hand the issues
of life and death; sitting in the Castle of Corfe and gazing
upon the straw- thatched hovels of the serfs beneath, the Nor-
man baron luxuriated in his power, and felt himself to be far
removed from human limitations. Royal feasting went on
within its walls, — rights of venison and vert in many a distant
chase, free warren round about, assize of beer and toll from
the nets of fishers, falcons from the forest and fish from the
sea, tithes and royalties on the fruits of the earth wooed from
the soil by the labourers of those days; from all these channels
were the revellings maintained. Its dungeoned solitudes
wasted the sinews of Knights of high degree,* whose honesty
or wrong-headed honor, collided with kingly purposes, or aroused
jealousies; esquires were chained to its walls for offences only
known to their captors, and well born dames were kept in
milder seclusion because of their relationship to rebellious
princes or barons."

Affairs within the Castle of Corfe were long a
part of the daily lives of the Scovilles of the parish,
but never were they serfs thereabouts. They were
of Norman stock, and Norman in their sympathies.
They held their lands as freemen and gentlemen
through their loyalty to Norman rule at Corfe Castle
and in England at large. Stirred, indeed, will be the
imagination of the modern Scoville who journeys here
to muse o'er the ruins of Corfe, to tread upon the
soil of "Scowles," the very estate so long owned by
the Scovilles, and from whom it received its name,
and to see in one of the buildings thereon the stones
laid by the Scovilles of the fourteenth century.

In the year when Princess Alianor, "the Beauty
of Brittany," was imprisoned in Corfe Castle, by

*In 1203 twenty-four knights captured at the battle of Mirabeau in France
were starved to death in Corfe Castle.

that "Nero of England," King John, because of her
rights to the throne of England, and two years before
that king made his visit to the castle, one William de
Scoville is of record as having transacted some business
appertaining to some property in this region. It
was in the year 1214. There is no positive indication
that he was then a resident in the Isle of Purbeck;
but the inference is unavoidable that he then had,
or soon after came to have, some interest there, for
a generation later another Scoville is of record as
becoming a landholder in the parish of Corfe Castle.
The abbess of the abbey of Shaftesbury* in Dorset
was a party to a sale of some land in the said parish
of Corfe in behalf of the abbey in the year 1214. This
abbey was located close to the border of Wiltshire,
about thirty-five miles from Brockley and Helprinton.
William de Scoville acted as attorney or agent for the
abbess in this instance. His service may have con-
sisted of filing the document at London, or of being
or having been present at both Shaftesbury and Corfe

*The Benedictine Abbey of Shaftesbury in Dorset (contracted to Shaston).
See Mayo's Shaston and the Victoria History oj the Counties of England, Dorset.
Its foundation is ascribed to Alfred the Great, King of England, about A.D.
888, and his daughter Elfgiva presided as the first abbess. He endowed it
with 200 hides of land, and some of these lands were in the parishes of Tar-
rant, Iwerne Minster, and in others identified with the Scovilles in later
centuries. This nucleus of landed endowment was enormously increased by
Alfred's successors for centuries afterwards. The extent of the abbey's
possessions was so great that it was in the Middle Ages a popular saying,
"If the abbot of Glastonbury could marry the abbess of Shaftesbury, their
heir would hold more land than the king of England." In 1166 the abbess was
assessed at the service of seven knights' fees. Henry III by charter of May
4, 1233, released to the Abbess Amicia and her successors the demand made
by the king and his ancestors of the service of three knights and the fourth
part and sixth part of a fee, in addition to the service of the seven knights'
fees already demanded, and ordained that in future the said abbess should
be accountable only for the service of seven knights, which she admitted
to be due. The power and influence in the districts possessed by the abbess
can have been only less than supreme. To her belonged a moiety (one half)
of the Manor of Shaftesbury, — the other half pertaining to the king, — and
the custody of the vill, for which she paid a fee farm of £12. The patronage
in her hands and those of the community was above that of any other religious
house in the county of Dorset, and above most of those in the kingdom itself.

A long list of the abbesses, mostly of noble or gentle blood, is mentioned
in the Victoria History of Dorset. The Abbess Amicia, mentioned in the
text, was Amicia Russell; she was elected in 1223 and presided over the abbey
for twenty years. (Condensed from Victoria History.) — H. W. B.

Castle in the business of the abbess. The record is
quoted in The History and Antiquities of the County
of Dorset: —

"William de Scawell was attorney for Amicia, Abbess of
Shaston, on levying a fine of Blackenwell." (Public Record
Office, London.) Final Concords (final agreements as to sales
of property) 2 Henry III (year 1214).

Was this man a third son, or a brother, of Ralph
de Scoville, the lord of Brockley, Hilperton, Turveston,
etc.? Does it seem likely that if William de Scoville
was a newcomer from Normandy, he would have
been chosen attorney for the abbess of Shaftesbury,
in charge of the abbey's estate in the Isle of Purbeck?
In the absence of any further record, the circumstances
most forcibly suggest that he was of the Scovilles of
England, and so, of some relationship to the said
Ralph and perhaps personally known to him. For
years later the records show that the said abbey owned
land in the parish of Corfe Castle occupied by Sco-
villes, and also reveal another Ralph Scoville, a priest.

As the above record implies that William de Sco-
ville had personal acquaintance of both property
and men in the parish of Corfe Castle we are unable
to avoid the further inference that he was, for some
considerable time at least, the resident agent thereat
for the abbess of Shaftesbury, collecting rents and
her representative generally, in connection with other
business of his own. The first record of a Scoville
acquiring a title to land in the Isle of Purbeck occurs
only forty years after 1214. This record proves that
the John de Scoville who then purchased a small
quantity of land had been a tenant thereon before
acquiring the property. We cannot prove that this
John was a son of William de Scoville, the attorney
of the abbess, but he may have been so; it is not
unlikely that he was the son. We are prone to believe

that he was; the more inclined is the student to so
identify him because of the extreme probabiHty that
the said William was the first Scoville to become
identified in any way with that part of Dorset. The
purchase by John de Scoville was absolute, in full and
forever, subject only to the manorial jurisdiction of
the lord of the Castle of Corfe or of the abbess or
abbott of Shaftesbury, with respect to some annual
tithe or service to be performed when required. The
two virgates and three acres amounted to a sufficiency
of land for a small farmer. The absence in the record
of a reference to a dwelling house leaves one to imagine
that the said John was already the tenant of a tene-
ment thereabouts.

Feet of Fines, Dorset. 38 Henry III (year 1254) 260.
Translated abstract: —

"At Westminster one month after Easter day between
Jordan Belejambe and Amicia his wife, plaintiffs, and John de
Scoville tenant of two virgates and three acres of land in La
Linche. Jordan and Amicia remitted and quitclaimed for
themselves and the heirs of Amicia, to John and his heirs, all
their right and claim in the said land for ever. For this John
gave to Jordan and Amicia forty shillings."

Those forty shillings would amount to between
six and eight hundred shillings by the present measure
of money, and land was cheap there in 1254. La
Linche is East Lynch, a small section of Kingston
Abbots, a hamlet in the parish of Corfe Castle. It
appears upon any good map of Dorset. The land
occupied in Kingston Abbots by the Scovilles came
to be called (after the manner of English phonetical
corruptions of Norman names) "Scowles," and
"Scowles Farm"; it continued to be so known for
generations. The name Abbots attached to Kingston
meant that a title to more or less of that manor and
hamlet was vested, primarily, in the successive abbots

51

and abbesses of the abbey of Shaftesbury, to whom
it had been originally bequeathed by some penitent,
or given by the king for religious uses, and to whom
some annual small payment was made by the various
copyholders of the lands there.

John de Scoville must have been born about or
soon after 1214. The next land record indicates that
he had a son John, Jr., who had a son Robert who
had a son Philip, all three being named as such. The
younger John was in possession of the Scoville estate
in the manor of Kingston Abbots in the year 1296.
In that year he entailed it upon his son Robert and
for his grandson Philip upon the death of Robert
the father of Philip, John the grandfather reserving
to himself, with the consent of Robert (Philip being
then a minor), the right to reside in the house and
to make use of the land for the remainder of his
(John's) life. John de Scoville, the grandfather,
must have been born circa 1235-45. The record of
this land entail now follows. Feet of Fines are ab-
stracts made from the contents of and attached to
deeds of transfer of property, the abstract being cut
off and filed with the government.

to the chief lords of that fee, for Robert and Philip, all other
services which to that tenement belong. After the death of
John, if Robert and Philip are living, the tenement wholly
remains to Robert, to have and to hold to Robert for the life
of Robert and his heirs, by the said services as is aforesaid.
And after the death of Robert the tenement will wholly revert
to Philip and his heirs quit of the heirs of John and Robert,
to hold of the chief lords of that fee by the services which belong
to the tenement."

The words "will revert to Philip and his heirs quit
of the heirs of John," imply that John had a son other
than Philip's father, Robert, possibly a younger son.
There are six records of a William de Scoville of Corfe
Castle, which place him in the position of having been
very probably such a brother of Robert ; and later there
is a record of another Robert, doubtless a son of Philip
and holding land in the hamlet of Kingston Abbots.

Inquisitions on file at the Public Record Office, London,
and quoted in The History and Antiquities of the County of
Dorset, by Hutchins.

1. Inquisition 19 Edward I (year 1291). Translated
abstract: "The King wishing to be informed concerning
the true value of his Castle of Corfe issued a commission dated
Feb. 5, and a jury was summoned on Thursday before the
Quinzane of Easter consisting of William de Scoville [and others]
who say that the easements of the houses and castle, and the
pasture in the same castle are of no value [for annual income]
beyond reprises. There is a watermill there worth six shillings,
eight pence per annum, thirteen free tenants in the town of
Corfe holding small tenements; total rent 36s, 7d. William
Scoville pays the King one pound of pepper per annum, worth
12 d, for inclosing a certain place of meadow."

2. Inquisition 17 Edward II (year 1324). Translated
abstract: "An inquisition was taken at Corfe Castle on Wed-
nesday after Michaelmas Day before Sir John Latymer (then
constable of the castle) concerning all trespass of vert and
venison committed in the King's warren in the time of the
said John. The jury consisting of John de Clavile, Henry
Attebere, Henry Talebot, William de Chuldecotte, William
Scovell, John de Smedemore, John Chaunterel, John Attemulle,
Robert de Holme, William de Whyteclyve, William Canoun,
Henry Boneville and twelve others of less note, say that Henry

53

Smedemore (and others named) entered the King's warren
in the night of Sunday next before the feast of St. Valentine,
17 Edward II (1324), with a net and a dog to take the King's
deer; and the said Henry (and the others) with the net and a
dog are now in the Castle of Corfe."

3. Inquisition, Dated 15 Dec. 19 Edward II (1326): "The
King issued a writ of inquisition as to the state of the Castle
of Corfe. Taken 17 Jan. by a jury of Richard Alwy, William
Scovile (and 25 others) who say upon oath that the King's hall
in the said castle is decayed to the damage of 100 marks, etc."

In 1327-8, the year in which Scotland won its
independence of England, Parliament granted the
Crown a subsidy (a tax assessment) of one ninth of
the income value from the harvests, sheep, cattle, and
general live stock and products of the inhabitants of
England. The records of this tax reveal how heavily
the people were called upon to pay for the wars and
extravagances of the king and government. The few
people in the parish of Corfe Castle were assessed for
£6:13s:6d in the money of that time. This assess-
ment was based upon the valuation made for Pope
Nicholas twenty-eight years earlier. The return was
made upon oath of a jury summoned in the parish.
The translated record reads: —

That is the last record of any William Scoville
in the parish of Corfe Castle. A full generation later
^'Scowles Farm" for want of male heirs in that parish
fell, either by direct bequest or as an intestate in-
heritance from Robert Scoville (of whom we have
record as the heir of Philip de Scoville), to his daughter
and heir, Beatrix Scoville; by her marriage to Peter
Clavell "Scowles" passed into the possession of another
family as will be evidenced shortly.

It is clearly observable from the foregoing records
and by a record of Robert Scoville (to be quoted
presently) that Scowles Farm and all the Scoville
property in the parish of Corfe Castle extended into
two manors, viz.: the manor of Kingston Abbots
and the manor of Alfrington. The ancient manor
and hamlet of Alfrington are now merely a tithing
and farm, lying nearly a mile southeast of Corfe
village near the foot of the south hill, with Kingston
hamlet lying about a mile southwestward of Alfring-
ton. There is now no manor of Alfrington; its ancient
manorial bounds are not in force. The exact boundary
between the ancient rights of the abbots and abbesses
of Shaftesbury abbey which held Kingston, and of
the owners of Alfrington, are not now discernible.
But the exact identity of the Scoville property has
come down to the present day in the name of "Scowles
Farm," varied somewhat in its bounds by the more
modern additions and subtractions of land that may
have been added to or taken from it, by the various

55

holders of it since the Scoville occupancy. The only
male Scoville of record in the parish of Corfe Castle
after the last-named William Scoville (who must
have been well advanced in years in 1346) is Robert
Scoville, of whom we will quote the following records
before describing further Scowles Farm. This Robert
bears the Christian name of the aforesaid Philip de
Scoville's father, both of the two latter being already
proven to have been holders successively of the same
estate in East Lynch, a part of what was the small
manor and hamlet of Kingston Abbots. This last
Robert Scoville is also of record as holding land in
that immediate vicinity; in fact Hutchins, the his-
torian of Dorset, names this Robert as having been
the holder of "Scowles," the said William Scoville
not appearing as a landholder there at any time
(except as holding a small meadow of the king), but
merely as a parishioner of the parish of Corfe Castle
who rendered various services in the Castle of Corfe
at the summons of the lords thereof. And beyond
these two men there are but two other male Scovilles
of Corfe, Ralph, a priest without descendants, and
John who removed to Wichampton, Dorset, and there
left a son as his heir, and of whom more hereinafter.
The last Robert Scoville was of a generation later
than both the said William and John. That Robert
was the heir of Philip seems indisputable, but whether
John was the younger son of Philip or a son of William
is a question which remains without an answer from
positive records in favor of either Philip or William.
There are no records of baptism, marriage, and burial
in England before 1528 and no probate records or
"visitations" of Dorset of value in the present case,
while records anciently stored in Corfe Castle were
destroyed when the castle was wrecked in the year
1646. The reader may deem the analysis of these

56

old records rather dry reading, but in determining
points of pedigree observations are nothing if not
specific, and it is the duty of the investigator to arrive
at a judgment wherever possible, however dull the
process. Robert Scoville, the younger, is recorded
(on files at the Public Record Office, London, and in
Inquisitions quoted in The History and Antiquities of
the County of Dorset) : —

An "Inquisition dated Feb. 10, 4 Richard II (1381), states
that when there may happen to be a war in the neighborhood
of the castle the tenants of the said town (Corfe Castle) ought
to be in the castle for forty days, at their own charges, for the
defense of the same castle and this as service for the tenure of
their lands .... that the liberty [bounds] of the town
of Corfe extends from the ditch on the east of Swyneswell and
so continuously on the west of the ditch of the land of Alfrington
towards the south, as far as 'la Wythie,' and thence to the
croft which Robert Scoville holds of our lord the King by service
of one pound of pepper per annum, .... that common
pastures everywhere within the liberty of Corfe belong to the
tenants of the said town for their common use, and also the
tenants shall have of the constable every night four lagens of
beer whilst they shall keep watch within the castle in time
of war .... that no islander (Isle of Purbeck) ought to
marry his daughter out of the island without licence of the
lord constable or other officer .... that to the vill of
Corfe belongs judgment by fire, water and battle" [judgment
by a jury selected from the inhabitants in manorial court cases
to determine justice and damages for and between their fellow
parishioners and also in respect to the castle].

[Smedmore Charters.] "Robert Scoville was a witness
to charters 49-51 Edward III and 8 Richard 11" (1376, 1378
and 1385).

"Scowles" and the mediaeval building thereon,
used by the early Scovilles, are described in Hutchins*
History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset. The
estate now attaches to the chapelry of Kingston,
and is "a farm of about 145 acres between Afiflington
and East Lynch. It anciently belonged to the family
of Scovile from whom it derives its name; and was
held by them of the abbey of Shaftesbury, being

57

originally no doubt part of the manor of Kingston
.... In later times it came to the Clavells of
Quarr, perhaps by the marriage of Peter Clavell
with Beatrix daughter of Robert Scovell. From the
Clavells it went to the Dacombes." .... "The
building now used as a farm-house appears to have
been erected in the 17th century, probably by Robert
Dacombe who died about 1651. Here was formerly
a chapel now converted into a barn. It is a build-
ing of considerable antiquity, but has little of an
ecclesiastical character about it. It stands east and
west and measures interiorly 21 feet by 14 feet, ten
and one half inches. The principal feature is a win-
dow in the west part of the south side, now blocked
up. It is a double lancet about three feet four inches
wide with a dripstone or low moulding of Early
Decorated (Fourteenth century), or perhaps of some-
what earlier character, following the form of the
double head. Above it is a discharging arch of un-
hewn stone. The east part of the south wall has been
rebuilt, and has a modern doorway, between which
and the window beforementioned is an ancient buttress
with two set-offs. Another modern door has been
inserted in the north side, and at one of these places
a second window may perhaps have been once seen.
But the most remarkable feature in the building is
the masonry of the exterior of the west end. Close
to the ground is a row of six rectangular oblong holes,
about eighteen or nineteen inches wide, not penetrat-
ing quite through the wall. Above them are three
discharging arches to relieve the stones by which the
openings are surmounted, from the superincumbent
weight. Above this again are two similar holes
eleven inches by twenty or twenty-four inches, and
over them two more discharging arches. The whole
is of unhewn stone. The ground on which the foun-

58

dations are laid appears to be dry and solid, and it
is difficult to conjecture what might have been the
object of this arrangement. In an outbuilding close
to the one just described is a low arched doorway
croppled in form and now built up. It seems to have
originally formed part of some other building, prob-
ably the one last mentioned, and to have been
clumsily put together on its removal to the present
site." If this building was erected as a little private
chapel either apart from or as a part of a dwelling,
it may have been built about 1350 when the great
wave of religious feeling swept over England and
turned tens of thousands of men into priests or monks,
friars and students in religious houses, and caused
the erection of private chapels by well-to-do people.

Ralph Scoville took holy orders and consequently
cannot be considered as having left legal male issue;
therefore he is unimportant to us now. However,
it is well to observe that he was either a son of Philip
de Scoville, whose heir was Robert Scoville, or of
William Scoville. The said Philip was near enough
to the age of twenty-one years in 1296 to afford an
assurance of life sufficient to induce the entailing upon
him by his grandfather, John de Scoville, of the
estate within the manor of Kingston in the parish of
Corfe Castle; hence he could have been easily the
father of the Ralph, old enough to become a priest
in 1325, and also of John who had settled at Wichamp-
ton by 1327. Both Ralph and John are of record
in mid-Dorset, John at Wichampton and Ralph at
West Hemsworth [now in the parish of Shapwick],
places which adjoin each other, being scarcely three
miles apart and both nearly thirty miles north of Corfe
Castle. Descendants of John extended his landed
possessions into East Hemsworth, one half a mile
from West Hemsworth. There can be no doubt

59

that the presentation of Ralph to the rectorate of
the free chapel at West Hemsworth was due to the
influence of his immediate relatives with William
de Estoke, Knight, of West Hemsworth, who owned
the right of such presentation. This fact unites
Ralph and John very closely. Still Ralph may have
been the son of William instead of the son of Philip.
As yet no record has been found that removed from
one's mind the thought of the possibility that either
Ralph or John, or both of them, might have been the
sons of William. The latter's connection with the
affairs of the Castle of Corfe indicates that he was
a man of more public prominence than Philip. Un-
avoidably we are unable to see more definitely, and
William remains in the position of an uncle to Philip.
The only record of Ralph Scoville is: —

Inquisition Nonarum [Public Record Office, London], quoted
in The History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset. Transla-
tion:—

"Parish of West Hemsworth, non taxable. Rector of the
free chapel of Hemsworth, Ralph Scovile, June 1325."

"The register of Bishop Martival contains the record that
Ralph Scovile was presented to the living of that chapel by
William de Estoke, Knight, in 1325 and that Ralph was super-
seded therein on June 22, of the same year by John Larch."

Before outlining the pedigree indicated by the
foregoing records of the Scovilles of the parish of
Corfe Castle it must be noted that an important
fact of English history had a bearing upon the number
of Scovilles alive in Dorset in the middle of the four-
teenth century. It is clear from the extant records
that the number of male Scovilles then living in that
county was small, and that the family became extinct
in Corfe Castle in the fifteenth century. Records
yet to be quoted concerning the Scovilles, after their
removal to Wichampton, show that the develop-
ment of the family thereabouts w^as slow. These

60

facts occasion two vital questions: (1) Were the
Scovilles affected by the plague called the ''Black
Death" which began in 1348? Were they summoned
to the devastating wars of the fourteenth century
to which they were liable to be called as has been
shown by the records of Corfe Castle? As to the
plague in Dorset there are various historical accounts
which state that it began in that county. For ex-
ample, Sherren, in writing of Dorset, states in The
Wessex of Romance: —

"But in 1348 this land was the avenue through which a
devastating plague swept into England, brought, it is said,
from China to the southern shore. Inland it spread, killing,
according to one chronicler, nine-tenths of the population.
Ott^ng to the dreadful scarcity of mouths to be fed, prices
were exceedingly low. Three pence would buy an ewe, and
six and eight pence a horse, though the price of labour rose.
The life religious now flourished extensively."

And as to the havoc of the wars which raged in
the fourteenth century and continued in the Wars
of the Roses covering a period of sixty years, it is not
safe to dismiss the idea of its having left the Scovilles
unaffected. There were wars with France, Scot-
land, Spain, the revolt of the peasants, another war
with Scotland, an internecine war in England, a
war with Wales, to say nothing of the loss of life at
sea, through wreck and piracy, in families resident
upon the coast, the majority of which were con-
cerned in maritime affairs. The general sociological
conditions in the Isle of Purbeck are depicted by
Hutchins, the historian of Dorset (page 468) : —

"That the resident gentry were not very numerous is true,
but this arose partly from the fact that a large portion of the
island of Purbeck was a waste or uncultivated heath, appro-
priated mostly to the use of the King's deer, and partly also
to much of the reclaimed land being in the hands of religious
establishments. The rest was divided into comparatively
small estates, owned and inhabited by proprietors in the degree

61

of gentlemen, but seldom rising to the rank of knighthood
There were no great properties in the district, and few of the
tenants in capite held any lands here in demesne; few conse-
quently of that class had residence in the island. To the list
of gentry mentioned in the text as living here before the Refor-
mation may be added the Talbots of Godlingston, Dernefords
of Derneford, Whitecliffs of WhitecliflF, Smedmores of Smedmore,

Moulehams of Mouleham, Scovills of Scovill and others

The lord of the manor and castle of Corfe was lord lieutenant
of the island, an hereditary office scarce enjoyed by any private
person in the Kingdom. He had also a power of appointing
all officers in the island, and all actions and suits were deter-
mined by his bailiff or deputy; he was also admiral of the
isle, and had all wrecks, except where there was a grant to
the contrary, freedom from the Lord High Admiral, and power
to array the militia."

The Scovilles attended the parish church as well
as any chapel on their own estate or at Kingston or
Alfrington. The parish church reveals Saxon stone
work eight to nine hundred years old. Hutchins
refers to the building: —

"The church was partly rebuilt in 1860 save the tower
of the old church. It is dedicated to St. Edward the Martyr,*
and is a large and ancient fabric, in which are several narrow,
long lancet windows. It consists of a nave covered with lead,
a chancel and two aisles, tiled. The aisles are higher than
the body, but of equal length with the chancel and nave. The
tower is very large, embattled and pinnacled; in it are five
bells, a clock and chimes. On the sides of the belfry are two
empty niches. Under that, on the right, is a group of three
human busts with something twisted around their necks. In
the middle of the group is a small human figure which has the
head of a hog. Under that, on the left side, are two such figures.
The body of the church is supported by twelve unequal arches.
The four pillars on the porch are of the Saxon style, but each
different. The rebels battered the castle from the church
which received damage thence; for in 1646 the Committee
paid £50 to repair it."

reading to Scoville descendants, and those of the

stepmother, yElfryth, at Corfe Castle in the year 979.

62

family who may chance to come to the castle near
nightfall may experience a feeling akin to that of
Thomas Hardy: "The place is pre-eminently the
region of dream and mystery. The ghostly birds,
the pall-like sea, the frothy wind, the eternal soliloquy
of the waters, the bloom of dark purple cast, that
seems to exhale from the shoreward precipices, in
themselves lend to the scene an atmosphere like the
twilight of a night vision."

In the year 1170 John de Mautravers, Kjiight,
somewhat in behalf of, and at the instance of, his
King Henry II (who had quarreled with and com-
plained of the attitude manifested toward him by
the representatives in England of the Church of
Rome), murdered Thomas Becket, the archbishop
of Canterbury in the cathedral at Canterbury, County
Kent, England. The Mautravers family held of the
king the estates, hamlets, or manors of Worth Mau-
travers and Langton Mautravers, located within the
parish of Corfe Castle in the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset.
The name Mautravers was added to the place-names
of Worth and Langton to denote the ownership
thereof by this family in accordance with early feudal
custom. The said Worth and Langton were and
are adjoining hamlets or estates. The former is a
little over a mile southeastward from the hamlet and
manor of Kingston Abbots, wherein the Scovilles
held the estate of Scowles; Langton is three miles
eastward from the said Kingston. Our William de
Scoville, the attorney of 1214, well knew that the
murderer of Becket resided in the parish of Corfe
Castle, as did about every other Englishman then,
and as have millions more of Britons since. The
family of Mautravers flourished in the Isle of
Purbeck for generations after the murder. The
members of it were nearest neighbors, social
acquaintances, business makers, friends or enemies
of the Scovilles, according to the state of their
likes or dislikes occasioned by personal contact
throughout many years.

In the year 1330 a later Sir John de Mautravers
became constable of the Castle of Corfe, and over-

lord of the Scovllles and all other gentlemen in the
isle. Three years before then this same John de Mau-
travers had a commission by which he and his at-
tendants were empowered to enter any place of
strength in the kingdom, and to command it during
pleasure. This was to enable him to have safe custody
of the person of King Edward II, who tried to escape
in 1326, was deposed in 1327, and by a particular
indenture from the Earl of Lancaster was received
into the custody of M antra vers at Berkeley Castle.
The better to conceal the king's person Mautravers
conducted him in the night, by unfrequented roads,
across the country to Corfe Castle. Later he re-
moved the deposed king to Berkeley again, where
the ex-monarch was murdered Sept. 21, 1327.

The Mautravers knights were considered as men
of nerve, and their attendants likewise. We do not
know through what services or influences the John
Scoville who settled at Wichampton enjoyed the
favor of this same Sir John de Mautravers, his powerful
neighbor, which led to Scoville's receiving a retainer
of land situated in one of Sir John's manors, or whether
he was mixed up in some of the exploits of Mau-
travers, but we do know that Mautravers had bought
in the year 1282 of Roger Waspail, for one hundred
marks of silver, the manor of Wichampton and, not
later than 1327, enfeoffed John Scoville in a part of
it; and we know that the said Scoville and his de-
scendants in the name of Scoville [as per the pedigree
hereinafter] continued in uninterrupted possession
thereof for three hundred and fifty years thereafter.

Through holding land at Wichampton under the
manorial lordship of Mautravers and as one of the
leading men so holding, John Scoville became qualified
to be chosen as a juror for the parish of Wichampton,
for the purpose of determining the value of property

65

there subject to a national tax. These juries usually
managed to report that the assessment by the Crown
was too large.

Inquisitiones Nonarum. Dorset. 1 Edward III (Public
Record Office, London). Translation: —

Presentments of the parishioners of the county aforesaid
taken before the assessors of the ninth and fifteenth in the
first year (1327).

"Parish of Wychampton. Thomas Hurish, Thomas Banke,
WilHam Hafker, John Scovyle, Hugh Haym, William Gabriel,
Thomas le Smyth, John Herny, John Haym, William Berde,
Richard atte Watere, William atte Watere, parishioners there,
being sworn present that the church is assessed at 13 marks
with the chapel of Edmundesham, and that the ninth part
of the sheaves, fleeces and lambs in the said parish is worth
this year 78s, and so less than the assessment by £4:15:4.,
because the rector there has land in demesne, as of the endow-
ment of the church, 60 acres of land and pasture, which are
worth 30s by the year. Also the tithes of hay, flax, hemp,
cheese, the mill and other petty tithes with offerings to the
lights and mortuary gifts, which are worth 65s 4d by the year.
Total of the ninth part: 78s."

Thomas le Smyth and John Scoville also served
on the jury in the same year and for the same purpose,
for the neighboring parish of Winterborne Mawr-
ward (now called Winterborne Zelstone and Zel-
stone), by virtue of some leasehold or other right
to property that they then had therein. Sir John
de Mautravers died and his manors (including Wich-
ampton) were inherited in whole or in part by his
son, John de Mautravers, who made an ante-mortem
agreement for the disposition, when he also should
come to die, of his property. This agreement shows
that the said rights of the said John Scoville of Wich-
ampton had descended, at the date of the final agree-
ment by Mautravers (1364), to Thomas Scoville of
Wichampton, whom, therefore, we place as the son
and heir of John Scoville: —

manor of Eastmorden and premises in Wiltshire and Gloucester-
shire to be the right of Robert and Henry and John, and the
manors of Worthe, Wychampton and Woolcombe, and premises
in county Somerset to be the right of Robert, of which they
have the first mentioned premises by his gift.f For this they
granted them to John Mautravers and Agnes his wife together

This record constitutes proof of the occupancy
by Thomas Scoville of the estate at Wichampton.
Some portion of this same property is found four
generations later in the occupancy of another Thomas
Scoville, to whom the rights therein must have de-
scended, by inheritance, through three generations
intervening, since no fine was had during that period
showing that the later Thomas, or his father or

grandfather, newly acquired the right of occupancy
thereof by purchase from an aHen holder. We now
meet with a record-chasm in which are lost the Chris-
tian name of the son of the aforesaid first Thomas
Scoville of Wichampton, named in the fine last re-
corded, and the Christian name of the grandfather
of the said second Thomas Scoville who is found at
Wichampton and Sturminster Marshall as hereafter.
Thus as yet we only know these two or three inter-
vening Scovilles as Scovilles, minus their Christian
names in the records. This record-chasm is bridged
by the fact of the known continuance of the Scoville
occupancy at Wichampton and Sturminster Marshall
from the first Thomas Scoville to the second Thomas
Scoville. This fact proves that no daughter became
the heir in the intervening years and thus carried
her inheritance to a husband, who, under the laws
of the time, would have assumed the rights therein
of his wife. We also have records showing that in
1525 a William Scoville was taxed on goods (mer-
chandise, live stock, or produce) four times the amount
on which the second Thomas Scoville was taxed at
the same time. This may be fairly taken to indicate
that Thomas was much the younger man of the two,
and probably the son of William. We are of that
opinion, and we leave it that way.

The Rev. R. Grosvenor Bartelot, the Dorset
antiquarian, stated to the writer that the Christian
names of these two or three Scovilles would be found
in Lay Subsidies, the tax rolls which when made
out contained the names of every taxable inhabitant
of the county of Dorset. The entire bulk of these
tax rolls has been examined by the writer, who found
many membranes therein so discolored and de-
cayed as to be to him illegible; and so many are
the names, sometimes ten thousand in a roll, in the

68

Lay Subsidies that a searcher unwittingly may easily
miss seeing a name. If the names are in that mass
of membranes, as stated by the said antiquarian, the
writer has been wholly unable to find them, though
every roll has been twice examined in full; and until
they be found, if they ever can be found in any rec-
ord whatsoever (which is extremely doubtful), these
men can be only set down in the chart hereinafter,
each as "Scoville of Wichampton."

The following are the results of the search among
the Lay Subsidy rolls of Dorset: —

Roll 103-34 (Ric. II), undated. Poll tax. A part of a Roll
only. Wichampton and Sturminster missing from this
roll.

Roll 240-305. Tempore Ric. II (1377-1399). No names
for Wy champ ton and Sturminster appear in this roll. The
roll is only a part of the original roll, the remainder of which
is lost.

Roll 103-57. 1 Henry IV (1400). Names of lords of manors
assessable. No Scoville.

Rolls 103-70-71. 6 Hen. IV (1405). Names of lords of manors
only. No Scoville.

Roll 103-118. 15 Henry VHI (1524). The membranes for
Wychampton and Sturminster are missing (with others)
from this roll.

Roll 103-116 (undated, but tempore Henry VHI). Names
of persons in Dorset having lands or goods to the annual
value of £10 or over (now at least £130). No Scoville.
This roll is complete for the county. Every name in it
is legible.

Roll 103-123. 16 Henry VIII (1525). Extract given here-
after.

Roll 104-185. 3 Edw. VI (1550). Extract given hereafter.

Roll 103-4. 2 Edward III (1329). Tax of a twentieth.

(The names of some of the parishes are decayed off:
also many names of persons taxed, but the Sturminster
Marshall list is in full.)

Wychampton. 21 men taxed; 8 surnames rotted; the
8 Christian names before the latter are John, Agnes,
Robert, Roger, John, Nicholas, John, Peter. One
of these is probably of a Scoville, but it is impossible
to say which, as all vestiges of the surnames that
followed them are rotted away.

(This may be an abbreviation of Scovylle, as there
is a short mark above the letter "y." Such a mark
in a mediaeval MS. implies the omission of certain
letters at the end of the word or name. But the
name being equally likely to be Scovy, we are afraid
to assume that it was meant for Scoville. Nearly
all the Christian names in this roll of 10,000 names
are abbreviated, but the most of the surnames are
spelled out in full. The "i?oi." in Roll 103-4 may
be the same man as here in Roll 103-5.

Roll 103-48. Richard H. (1377-1399). Poll Tax.

The names of half of the poll tax payers are rotted off of
this roll. No Scovill appears among the legible names.

Ministers' Accounts, Duchy of Lancaster.

No. 698-11298. 30 Henry VHI (1539). Shapwick

No. 691-11194. 3 Henry VH (1488). No Scoville.

No. 699-11310. 35 Henry VHI (1546). No Scoville.

No. 699-11313. 36 Henry VIII (1547). No Scoville.

No. 700-11315. 37 Henry VIII (1548). No Scoville.

The above implies that no Scoville held land of the Duchy
of Lancaster. They may have held of other lords, at present
unknown, nevertheless.

The Lay Subsidy rolls for years before and after
1525 for Wichampton are lost or incomplete, save
roll 103-121, in which is given a brief list of taxpayers
for the tithing of Wichampton, who were assessed
on personal property; no taxes on land appear in this

70

roll. No Scoville was taxed on "goods" in this roll.
"Willm Sconett" was taxed four pence on a valua-
tion of twenty shillings, and we mention this because
"Sconett," as written in this roll, may be easily read
as Scovell. The tax roll dated 1525 gives the William
and Thomas Scoville, whom we have assumed to be
father and son respectively: —

Public Record Office, London. Lay Subsidy Roll 103-123.
Sturminster Marshall (Income value) (tax)

Wylliam Skovell in goods xii li vi s

Thomas Skovell in goods iii li xviiii d.

Both men appear again in the same roll in which
also appears Richard Scoville, previously quoted: —

Lay Subsidy Roll 104-185. 3 Edward VI (1550).
Sturminster Marshall. William Scovell in gooddes x li;
the relief (tax) x s.

Thomas Skovell in gooddes x li; the relief (tax) x s.

After this record William, who would have been aged
at the date of this roll, disappears. Both men seem
to have died within a short period, in about the year
of this tax (1550).

This said second Thomas Scoville of Wichampton
and Sturminster Marshall was dead in the year 1551,
as is proven by the agreement previously made by him
in the church of Sturminster Marshall (quoted in
Mayo's Shaston, page 81) whereby he held two and
one-half acres of land in the said parish adjoining to
Wichampton on condition that he maintain a light
to be kept burning in the said church for the term
of his life or tenure. The parish churches of England
held land in their vicinities, which was leased or
rented to individuals in return for the performance
of certain monetary or other obligations to the church.
The service rendered by Thomas Scoville was not
a voluntary one for the purpose of manifesting his

71

religious devotion as a parishioner; it was a business
transaction. He paid the church sufficient money
to keep a light burning therein. Such payments
were of frequent occurrence. Such lights may still
be seen burning in the chancels of various parish
churches.

The records next present for our notice three
men, Richard, Thomas, and Andrew Scoville. The
last two were probably sons of the Thomas Scoville
who had maintained the light in the church before
1550, while Richard Scoville seems to have become
the heir to the Scoville property at Wichampton, and
was probably his brother, although there remains,
of course, the possibility that he was his cousin, or
even a different relative. Thomas Scoville, Junior,
lived and died at Sturminster Marshall, leaving issue
there; Andrew also died there. We have no evidence
as to Andrew other than the record of his burial as
an adult, and it is equally possible that Thomas,
Senior, Richard, and Andrew were all sons of the
William Scoville who died about 1550. Before pre-
senting the records that identify these Scovilles, a
recapitulation must be made of the continuance of
the Scoville family descent from Corfe Castle through
the first John Scoville of Wichampton, as outlined
from the records already quoted. See Pedigree C on
opposite page.

Richard Scoville, named in the above pedigree,
died before the extant records of baptisms, marriages,
and burials at Wichampton begin (1656), and the
probate records of Dorset for this time (when Dorset
was in the diocese of Bristol) are mostly lost, save
the few in the Prerogative Court at London. He
was taxed in 1550 on goods (which included live
stock) that he then had at Preston on the western
border of Wichampton. Preston was anciently some

Richard Scoville is here acting as a member of
a commission consisting of himself, the rector of the
church, and two other representative men of Wich-
ampton, to take an inventory for the national govern-
ment of the church plate and other movable
property in the church of All Saints at Wichampton,
and to become responsible to the Church and the
Crown for the safe custody thereof. The occasion
of this inventory, and the putting of much of the
church goods into the care of these commissioners,
is nothing less than the Protestant Reformation
carried out in the name of King Edward VI by the

*Albe, a long white linen vestment, reaching to the feet, used in the Mass;
corporas, the cloth between the consecrated elements in the Mass; pyx-pix,
the box in which the consecrated wafers were kept; pax, a board bearing a
figure of Christ or the Virgin, kissed by the people after the Mass; sencer
(censer), a vessel for burning incense. All these were accessories of the Roman
Catholic ceremonial, and if actually in use up to 1552, prove that the services
were still more or less Roman up to that date.

Lord Protector (Edward Seymour, Duke of Somer-
set). It is unlikely that much change was made in
the (Roman Catholic) services of this church at the
time that Henry VIII broke with Rome in 1538-39.

Richard Scoville had at least one son, who married
and had numerous descendants. The records* of
them for several generations have been collected by
the writer and are in the possession of the publishers
of the Scoville volume. They are too numerous
and lengthy for quotation in this article; hence the
pedigree which they firmly establish (see pedigree)
need only be given briefly as follows, as the line of
descent into New England does not run from this
Richard, but instead through his nephews Thomas
or Andrew Scoville aforesaid.

Wichampton, the home of the Scovilles for nearly
four centuries, is only briefly described in The History
and Antiquities of the County of Dorset by Hutchins: —

"This village, which is a pretty large one, seems to derive
its name from the Saxon vie, which denotes either a village or
the winding of a river, being situated near the river Allen,
half a mile southwest from More Crichel [Moore Critchell],
in a pleasant level country, and consists chiefly of arable and
meadow. In Domesday Book it occurs in two parcels. The
first is surveyed amongst the lands which Queen Matilda (wife
of William the Conqueror) held. 'The King holds Wicheme-
tune. Two thanes held it in King Edward's time, and it
was taxed for four hides, and two parts of a hide. There is
land to four ploughs. Of this there are in the demesne two hides
and one virgate of land, and two parts of a virgate, and therein
two ploughs and two servi and five villeins and fifteen bordars
with two ploughs; a mill pays 10s, and there are 16 acres of
meadow. ... It was and is worth 100s.' .... Not
long after the Conquest its lords paramount were the Clares,
Earls of Gloucester and Hertford. . . . The earliest owners
of this place which have been found were named de Campania
and Waspail. ... Its inferior lords afterwards were the
Mautravers's of Lichet Matravers, and the Fitz Alans, Earls

*The records here referred to, with the exception of those quoted in this
chapter, will be given in full in the second chapter of this work. — Editor.

of Arundell, their successors, who held it of the honour of Cran-
bourne, of the lords of that honour, by service of ten knight's
fees."

"10 Edward I. 1282. Sir John de Mautravers purchased
this manor of Roger Waspail, and died seized of it inter alia
1297, John his son and heir aet. 30. . . . Opposite the
church is the manor-house, an ancient fabric of brick; in a
windowof which is: ' Pray for the Soule of William Rolle.' . . .
Near it is a very large old barn, supposed by the inhabitants
to have been a chapel, and called by them the Abbey Barn.
But it does not appear that there ever was any religious house
or church lands in this parish ....

"Hemsworth East, or Lower Hemdesworth, anciently a
manor, situated half a mile northwest from West Hems-
worth. ... In the reign of Queen Elizabeth we find
it in the family of Ryves, for 15 Elizabeth (1573) a messuage,
320 acres of land in East Hemsworth, and common for 600
sheep in West Hemsworth, Wichampton and Shapwick, were
held by John Ryves, who had license to alienate to Thomas
Scovile and heirs. ... 20 Elizabeth (1578) Thomas Scovile
conveyed the premises, either in fee or in trust, to George Tur-
berville. . . . H. Gerard Sturt, esq., now possesses them
(1869). ... At Hemsworth Farms, in the Ewe Leaze,
are extensive irregularities on the surface which betoken ancient
location. About a quarter of a mile distant some workmen
came upon several buried skeletons, and in an adjoining field
were found the remains of a Roman villa, consisting of founda-
tions and six pavements, three of which are tesselated ....
In 1861 this parish contained 129 houses and 588 persons."

"The church stands on rising ground, at the north end of
the parish, and is an old but not very large structure, dedicated
to All Saints. It consists of a chancel, body and a small aisle
on the north side of the body, adjoining to the chancel be-
longing to East Hemsworth, all tiled. The tower is of a moderate
height, embattled, containing three bells and a clock. . . .
The interior of the edifice is plain and commodious."

The remainder of this present account of the
Scovilles of Wessex is properly restricted to the afore-
said Thomas Scoville of Sturminster Marshall (brother
of Richard of Wichampton) and to Andrew Sco-
ville of Sturminster Marshall (the parish adjoining

76

Wichampton on the south), and to their descendants.
As already stated, Thomas and Andrew occupy in
the visible prospect the positions of brothers, though
the parish records that would settle that point are
now lost; the parish registers of Sturminster Marshall
are not now preserved before 1563, two years before the
burial there of the said Thomas and six years before
the burial there of the said Andrew. The line of
ascent from John Scovell, the emigrant to America
a few years before 1666, runs back to the said Thomas
(buried 1565), or to the said Andrew (buried 1569),
through Robert Scoville (baptized at least thirteen
years before the beginning of the vital records of
Sturminster Marshall), Every effort possible, with
the existing records, has been made to determine
whether Robert was the son of Thomas or of Andrew.
In the further absence of the parish records no hope is
now entertained of a more definite decision thereon.
Robert Scoville cannot be accounted for other than
as a son of the said Thomas or of Andrew. Of the
three proven children of Thomas, one was baptized
and recorded after the beginning of the church rec-
ords at Sturminster Marshall; two others were born
before that beginning in 1563. Any child of Andrew
was also born before 1563. No child or possible
child of either Thomas or Andrew, of any subsequent
record whatever or wherever, remains definitely un-
accounted for, as to its parentage, other than the
said Robert. Proof is present that Thomas married
and had children; nothing whatever is present any-
where in Dorset records to show or to suggest that
Andrew married or had children. He is something
of a mystery, apart from the record of his burial as
an adult. Circumstantial evidence points to Thomas
as the father of Robert, and to Robert as the only
son of Thomas who had male issue. No will, in-

77

ventory, administration, or other record other than
local of Thomas is now extant, bearing upon Robert,
that the investigator has been able to find. The
record of the burial of Andrew reads: —

Parish Register of Sturminster Marshall, Dorset.
"Burials. 1569 January xi Andrew Schovell buried."
The other Scoville records in the registers of baptism, mar-
riage, and burial at Sturminster Marshall prove the following
facts as to the children of Thomas Scoville: —

Sturminster Marshall is a large parish, containing
3,851 acres, and about a thousand inhabitants. It
was named from the position of its church, on the
bank of the Stour, and for its former lords, the Mar-
shalls, Earls of Pembroke, a family in high favor with
King John by whom the manor was granted. It
soon passed by marriage into the family of Ferrers,
Earls of Derby, and later became subdivided into
various manors. The Gorges family held important
lands here from early feudal times. One of the
members of this family was Sir Ferdinando Gorges,
one of the chief colonizers of America in the reign of
King James I. Of the Council established at Plym-
outh, Devon, for the "planting, ruling, ordering,
and governing New England in America," Sir
Ferdinando Gorges and Captain Mason were the
two most active members. Gorges had a grant of
the province of Maine in New England. Although
the Scovilles went from the borders of this parish to
New England, the emigrants probably never saw
Sir Ferdinando Gorges. He died May 14, 1647, and
passed his life amid scenes of great political activity.
That his fame was well known to his Scoville con-
temporaries is likely enough, though it would be
unreasonable to assume that they were particularly
influenced thereby to emigrate. In the center of the
village stands a house built about 1450, called the
"tiled house," and a tradition in the village says
that monks were once its occupants. All gravestones
of the Scovilles have disappeared both from within
and without the parish church of All Saints, There
is no painted glass or remains of great antiquity
about the church, which consists of a nave with a
chancel almost as long, and a north aisle. The late
Norman pillars and arches are built of the beautiful
red stone from the neighboring heaths. An oak

79

board bears the names of forty-three vicars beginning
in the year 1162. The pulpit dates back to before
1500. Of the bells in the tower, the treble is of early
fourteenth-century date, and two others of the fif-
teenth century. There is a gravestone in the church
dated 1280, and the base and shaft of a fifteenth-
century cross stands in the churchyard. Henry Helme,
the vicar here before 1581, was well known to the
Scovilles, and this inscription on a brass plate to his
memory must have been a familiar sight to them: —

"The vycare sometyme of this towne

a frynde and father of ye poore,
And founder of Bay lye howse, bye

death to lyffe ys gone before.
So heare not dead, but layd to sleepe,

he Henrye Helme his corps doth rest.
God's word ys true let no man doubt,

the faythfull are for ever blest."

Robert Scoville, indicated in the last table of the
descendants of Thomas Scoville of Sturminster Mar-
shall (died 1563), was born about 1545-1550. When
he was about twenty-five or thirty years of age, love
or opportunity led him to make his home in a dwelling
house nearly two miles northward from the center
of the village of Sturminster Marshall. This house
stood beyond the northern boundary of the parish
of Sturminster Marshall, and together with the garden
and some acres of ground that then belonged with
it, formed a part of what then was the manor of Shap-
wick. This little farm was known by the name of
"Whole Place"; it is still within the parish of Shap-
wick, the central village of which is about a mile from
the village of Sturminster Marshall. Love certainly
had some part in Robert Scoville's occupancy of

Whole Place, for he had issue and left a male heir
there in Shapwick. As for "opportunity," it came
to him in the year 1574 when he first acquired the
right of occupancy of Whole Place. His purchase
thereof and proof of his continuance therein, for
seventeen years at the least, is recorded as follows: —

Public Record Office, London.

Duchy of Lancaster. Rentals and Surveys. The Manor
of Shapwick, Dorset: —

A Survey 7 Sept. 33 Elizabeth (year 1591)

"Juror Robert Scoville" (and others)

"The freholders by pretense of the said mannor are as
followeth, viz: .... Robert Scovell holdeth by copie dated
xxi September Ano El. xvi (1574) one Tente, garden and orcharde
called Whole Place, and one close cont. by halfe an acre, and
one close cont. vi. acres of Arr. land, and xiii acres of Arr. in
the fieldes, and one acre of meadow & in the Comon meade
yelding per Ann. xiiis iiid."

"Freholders by pretense" meant that Robert
Scoville (or Scovell) with others held their land direct
of Elizabeth, Queen of England, as of her Duchy of
Lancaster, and more particularly by a somewhat
nominal rental payable annually to the officers in
whom she had reposed the administration of her
own personal estate. The revenues of the Duchy of
Lancaster have been the personal property of the
sovereign of England for centuries. Robert Sco-
ville's holding "by copie" means by a copyhold
deed recorded in the court rolls of the manor of Shap-
wick, not a quitclaim deed, but one conveying all
the rights of occupancy and use of Whole Place, for
the term of his life, subject to a payment at fixed
periods to the Duchy of Lancaster, and also accord-
ing to his son and heir the first privilege of a renewal
of the copyhold deed in the son's favor, after the
death of the father. A copyhold deed conveyed
about all privileges save that of selling the property,

81

though the occupant could terminate his tenure at
any time upon a surrender made in the manorial court.
Robert Scoville was the first Scoville to so hold
and reside at Shapwick. No further records of the
manor of Shapwick are extant until the year 1612,
when Louis (or Lewis) Scoville, son of the said Robert,
is found recorded as having entered into the premises,
before that date, upon terms of tenure similar to
those that had been enjoyed by his father. The
vital records of the parish of Shapwick before 1656
are now believed to be lost; but Robert Scoville died
intestate (apparently) before the fourth day of Sep-
tember, 1604, leaving in addition to his heir Louis
Scoville, two daughters Honor and Agnes, son William,
and widow Thomazine. The widow died between Sept.
4 and Dec. 7, 1604, leaving a will in which she makes
no bequest to her son Louis, doubtless because he
was the chief heir of Robert Scoville, having received
all the rights of a life tenure of Whole Place, as will
be evidenced hereinafter.

William Scoville (son of Robert and Thomazine Sco-

about twelve miles northward of Shapwick. He is last
of record at Shapwick in 1613, when a summons was
issued for his appearance in the court of the manor of
Shapwick, which he defaulted, viz.: —

William Scoville is last of record at Iwerne IViinster,

Lewis Scoville transacted the highly important business
of surrendering his copyhold estate to the lord of the
manor of Shapwick, and then having the title to it
regranted to himself in trust for his son Richard and
daughter Sybil. For this guarantee assuring the
property to his children he paid to the lord of the
manor the large fine of £20. We quote the record
in full, viz.: —

to have and to hold for himself the said Louis, and his children
Richard and Sybil, for the term of their lives and that of the
longest liver successively, according to the custom of the manor,
in return for the customary works and services both owing
and accustomed. Further the said farmer conceded special
license to the said Louis to drain the marshland both without
and within the said manor and to let and concede the afore-
said tenement, either part or parcel, to any person or persons,
to whom it may best please him for the term of seven years,
beginning at the feast of St. Michael next following and con-
tinuing for the full term (if the said Louis live so long)
notwithstanding any custom* of the manor. And for this
status, license and entrance on the premises the aforesaid Louis
Scovile gave the said farmer for fine £20 of legal English money
paid into the hands of the said farmer."

Admission of Tenant. "And thus the aforesaid Louis
Scovyle made homage to the lord and was admitted tenant.
The homage of Richard and Sybil to be made whenever neces-

Sybil Scoville disappears from view, perhaps in
marriage. As no record of her marriage is obtainable,
we are unable to determine whether she outlived
her brother, Richard Scoville, and thereby received
his rights in the estate that had been occupied by
their father. Had she outlived Richard, it is doubtful
if she would have so inherited, for Richard married
and his heirs seem to have continued at Shapwick
for years after his death, and he certainly lived there
for twenty-five years or more after his father had
secured to him the chief inheritance of the property.
The record of the death of his father and the court
roll record of the rendering of homage by Richard
Scoville, to John Studley (or his successor), the king's
lessee at Shapwick, are not now extant. The vital
records of Shapwick before 1653 have not been found,
though it is stated in Kelly's Directory of the County
of Dorset that they are extant for many years prior

thereto. This Richard Scoville of Shapwick was
born in the year 1606 and married: —

Registry of the Diocese of Sarum, Salisbury, Wilts. Mar-
riage Licenses: —

"Richard Scovell of Shapwick Co. Dorset, husbandman,
aged 28, licensed to marry Mary Cooke of Earlstoke, Co. Wilts,
spinster, aged 22. 16 May 1634."

Richard Scoville of Shapwick was dead before
1642, as in this year his widow became taxed. Her
Christian name is entered in the Subsidy Rolls as
"Mawd," which is an abbreviation of Magdalen
(pronounced "Maudlen"), a variant of Mary very
commonly used in Dorset and elsewhere in the seven-
teenth century, and especially by ecclesiastical record
keepers. Subsidy Roll No. 105-336 was written by
a scribe resident in the vicinity of Shapwick and
familiar with the business of collecting taxes: —

Public Record Office, London.
Lay Subsidies. Dorset. 105-336. 18 Charles I (year 1642) :—
"Shapwick Tything, Mawd Scovell £0 — 2s — Od."

This record is the first in evidence of the death of
her husband, Richard Scoville, who may have been
dead for two or three years in 1642. The amount
of the tax is small. It is scarcely large enough to
cover the whole estate that her husband had in-
herited, as we have seen, from his father Louis Sco-
ville. That some change in the extent of the tenure
of Richard was caused by his death is evident. As
he died when not over thirty-six years of age, and as
his son John, the emigrant to New England and his
possible son Arthur, the other emigrant, could not
have been more than about four and six years of age
in 1642, no court roll deed of transfer to them, by
their father, of his rights in real estate at Shapwick
seem to have been obtained for them by him. It was

87

necessary for Richard to purchase that title for one
of his sons before he died. The customs of the manor
so required. Richard, doubtless, held only for the
term of his own life, as the record hereinafter indicates.
That the widow, left with one or more young children,
was unable to carry on the estate, or to obtain a new
deed of entry from the lord of the manor for the life
of herself in behalf of one or more of her children and
for the life of one or both of them, is clearly indicated
by the next existing record of her. This record is
of a small tax. It shows that the widow Scoville
had either removed nearly two miles northward of
Shapwick into the small hamlet of Tarrant Keyns-
ton, or had become responsible for some small busi-
ness premises therein, and was accordingly taxed
therefor. Subsidy Roll 105-346 in which this record
was found is a roll composed of fragments of various
rolls, detached, mutilated, and partly decayed mem-
branes. The officials of the Record Office, London,
after careful study of each of these fragments, have
been able to designate the period of years to which
these fragments refer, i. e., the period of some years
before and after 1660. The exact year of the making
of the particular fragmentary membrane on which the
record exists cannot be determined. The widow
Scoville, buried May 8, 1654, may have even died
before the tax was collected; the list is that of the
assessment, and the assessments were often pre-
pared from the lists of a previous assessment. Fre-
quently there also appears in the Subsidies a list of
the names of persons from whom the tax could not
be collected. Upon one of the fragments in words
still discernible is the entry: —

And also upon one of these fragments of a subsidy
membrane is the only record now extant in England
of her son, John Scoville, viz.: —

"Tarrant Rawston, Johes Scovill i s."

This is the John Scoville who appeared in New Eng-
land about the year 1662. Tarrant Rawston is a
hamlet of five or six houses clustered together, scarcely
a mile from Tarrant Keynston, and about three
miles from Shapwick church. John Scoville shortly
before emigrating from Dorset to New England had
become amenable to taxation as the occupant of
some building which he used for some business pur-
pose or as an abode. The old houses of both of the
Tarrant hamlets are the usual type of the ancient coun-
try cottage of Dorset. Both hamlets are now united
as one for ecclesiastical purposes. Arthur Scovell,
believed in New England to have been brother of the
said John Scoville, if he was such, would have es-
caped taxation in England in residing with either
his mother or brother, or if engaged in any occupa-
tion with either one on the premises aforesaid. The
only record of him in England probably ever made
officially was the record of his baptism, or of a possible
apprenticeship. Arthur was married in England, John
in America. The records of baptism, marriage, and
burial in the parish church of Shapwick before 1654
are lost. The record of the burial of the widow Sco-
ville is one of the first entries in the existing parish
register of Shapwick church : —

"Burial. Magdalen Schovell widow. Dec. 8, 1654."

She was probably buried beside her husband, Richard,
though their gravestones have been destroyed in
accordance with the usual custom with old memorials
in English churchyards. The custom is to use the

same ground space over and over again for burials,
and within a generation or thirty years, their me-
morials, if any were erected to Richard Scoville and
his wife in Shapwick churchyard, were removed or
destroyed. The probability is that none were ever
erected.

No further record in England of Arthur Scoville
has been found, and no further record of John Sco-
ville. Both were young men when their spirits rose
to meet the call of their opportunity to go to America
and there open a new chapter in the history of their
ancient family. Both were left wholly to their own
devices before they were twenty-one years of age.
Free as the winds, they rejected the prospect of an
eventless existence in Dorset, caught the spirit of
their time, and became a factor in the greatest peace-
ful exodus of a people over sea from one continent
to another in the known history of the world.

Richard and Mary (Magdalen) Scoville having
died intestate and before the emigration of John and
Arthur Scoville, no probate document exists in Eng-
land to prove the facts of the emigration and relation-
ship. Nevertheless, three years of investigation of
the Scoville records wherever they occur in England
in the seventeenth century, — and there is no Sco-
ville parish into which we have not ventured, — and
of study of the problem of the origin of John Scoville
brings us, through the most exhaustive process of
elimination, to Shapwick in the shire of Dorset. There
we rest, on one of the steps of Shapwick's village
cross, conscious of human fallibility, but satisfied
with the effort (great as it has been) and the means
(slender though they may seem to the supercritical)
by which we have here come.

This stone cross in the center of the market place
at Shapwick is a most venerable antique. The top

is broken off; the wide circular steps and shaft re-

and erected for a similar purpose. ''For thys reason
hen croysses by ye waye that whan folke passinge see ye
croysses they shoulde thynke on Hym that deyed on ye

one of them is that when it sinks into the ground, the
end of the world will come. The village cross at
Little Budworth in Cheshire has almost sunk.

"Shapwick is a large village situated near the river Stour.
It seems to derive its name from the Saxon sceap, a sheep,
and wic, a village; perhaps from an uncommon number of
sheep fed here in former ages. . . . The church dedicated
to St. Bartholomew, is an ancient building. . . . The south
wall appears to be early English, for it has windows of this
date. The rest of the edifice is Perpendicular, of poor char-
acter. . . . There is a large font with octagonal bowl. A
pair of plain shallow arches are sculptured on each face. It
stands on a massive circular stem and two steps. On one
of the bells is inscribed: —

'Whosoever doth hear good Saint Christopher's bele,
On the day when he does so may hope to farewell.'

"On a slab in the floor is a very beautiful brass; the portrait
of Maria de Champayns of Shapwick, in a standing posture
clad in a long gown descending in straight folds to the feet,
at which a dog is couched, which has an ornamental collar
around the neck. The lady's gown has large hanging sleeves,
the hands upraised in prayer. She seems to have married
Oke in the reign of Richard II." The History and Antiquities

Further Scoville Pedigrees and
Documents

In Chapter One has been given an account of
the Scovilles of Wessex from 1194 to 1660. Only
those who are believed to have been in the direct
line of ancestry of John Scovell, the emigrant to New
England, are mentioned in that chapter. Mr. Hop-
pin's arrangement of the pedigree in brief is as
follows : —

William de Scoville, a younger son of Ralph de
Scoville, Knight, founder of the manorial Scovilles
of Hilperton, Herling, Chelworth, Turweston, and
Brockley, was agent for the Abbess of Shaftesbury
at Corfe Castle in Dorset in 1214. From this William
the line descends, with some uncertainty as to the
succession of individuals, to John de Scoville, who
in 1327 was given by Sir John Mautravers the estate
or manor of Wichampton, and removed there. From
this John de Scoville of Wichampton in 1327 the line
still descends to Thomas Scovell who was buried
at Sturminster Marshall, July 25, 1565. The loss
and lack of records in this period makes the number
of generations and the Christian names of some of
the Scovilles quite unknown or conjectural during
the period 1327 to 1565, but the posvsibility of even
a conjectural pedigree at this period is sufficiently
remarkable. Thomas Scovell of Sturminster Marshall
had a son, Robert Scovell [the possibility that Robert
was a nephew of Thomas, and son of Andrew Scovell

95

who was buried at Sturminster, Jan. 9, 1569, must
not be forgotten], who continues the line at Shapwick
through Louis Scoville and his known son Richard,
who was the father of John Scoville [Scovell], last
mentioned at Tarrant Rawston about 1660, who is
the very John Scovell who appeared in Connecticut
shortly before 1666. The total loss of parish reg-
isters for this period at Shapwick is very disappoint-
ing. For this reason the proof that this is the American
John Scovell rests upon elimination. If the records
found are really exhaustive, then there is no other
John Scoville anywhere in England found that fills
the requirements save this John of Tarrant Rawston.

Thomas Scovell of Wichampton is the first Scovell
to come into clear light after the record-chasm of
several generations which obscures the succession to
the Scovell estates at Wichampton. All that we can
be quite sure of is that the Wichampton estate de-
scended in the Scovell family without interruption
down to this Thomas Scovell. He was probably
the grandson of that Thomas Scovell who endowed
the light in the church at Sturminster Marshall in
1547 and son of the Richard Scovell who with others
was made the custodian of the church goods, no
longer to be used in church service, at the time of
Edward VI, when in 1552 the Reformation was put
into effect by Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset,
Lord Protector. The wife of this Thomas Scovell
was Alice and she was living in 1594. Thomas him-
self was born about 1524 and died in 1594. His
children were Richard, Thomas, George, Charles,
John, Margaret who married John Scott, Alice who
married Edmund Cooke, a daughter who married
William Tulse, and Avis who married Robert Cock-
eram. Thomas is known from the following docu-
ments : —

96

Duchy of Lancaster Pleadings. 8 Elizabeth (1566) No. 7
o, b, & c.

"Anthony Harte, Lawrence Warren & others, Tenants of
the Queen's manor of Kyngeston Lacye (a manor lying between
Sturminster Marshall and Wimborne Minster, probably on the
site of present Kingston Hall, two miles northwest of Wimborne
Minster), claiming by agreement with Edward Bafshe &
Sir John Rogers, Knight, for the Estate and Interest of John
Purvey, who was the Queen's auditor and lessee for term of
years vs Edward Bafshe, Wm Ettrick, Thomas Russell, Thomas
Scovell & others tenants of the manor, charged with entering
into security and referring to arbitration the matters of the
agreement without consent of the plaintiffs. [This Thomas
Scovell of Wichampton, Dorset, and three others became bound
for £300 in behalf of all the tenants of the manor for the pay-
ment of £220.] They enter a general denial of responsibility;
and they claim the right to the portions of the manor held by
them under the lease; and they state that their referring to
arbitration the matter formerly in dispute was properly done.
The premises involved were the purchase money for mes-
suages, lands, tenements and hereditaments for which the
tenants of the manor were to give security. Kyngeston Lacye
Manor, Dorset."

The next document is one of considerable interest,
because the original parchment document is in the
United States, and it is the oldest Scovell document
of the kind in existence. The document is too long
to quote in full, but the first sentence begins as fol-
lows:—

"This Indenture made the one and twenteth daye of October
in the one and twenteth year of the Raigne of oure sovereigne
Lady Elizabeth" [year 1574]. It is a deed or lease for the con-
sidation of £100 made by Thomas Morton Esq. of Winterborne
Clenston in Dorset, and his son and heir George Morton, to
Thomas Scovell of Wichampton, yeoman, and his sons George
and Thomas. The lands concerned lay in the parish of Oke-
ford Shillinge,* Dorset, and consisted of meadows, pastures
and clofts with appurtenances, on the Queen's highway there
called Beere lane with common pasturage, and also four clofts
of pasture in the manor of Beere, on the north side of Beere
lane, etc. sometime in the tenure of Henry White.

Takes name from its ancient lords, the Eskellings or Eschelings.

We also have an interesting record of the patri-
otism of this Thomas Scovell of Wichampton, when
in 1588 the Spanish Armada threatened the southern
coasts of England with destruction.

Richard Scovell, son (probably the first and oldest)
of Thomas and Alice Scovell of Wichampton, lived
all his life there in Wichampton. He doubtless
inherited the manor of Wichampton and other lands
from his father. Owing to loss of the parish registers

99

of Wichampton, the dates of his family cannot be
given. The name of his wife was Elizabeth, and they
had an only child, Elizabeth, heiress of the entail of
the Wichampton estates. She married Rev. Edward
Thorn borough, rector of Ower Moign, and son of
the Bishop of Worcester.

of the said deceased, of whom held, by what services and who
was the heir.

Thomas Scovell, son (probably second son) of
Thomas and Alice Scovell of Wichampton, was of
age in 1574. On the 21st day of October, 1574, his
father purchased from Thomas and George Morton
of Winterborne Clenston for £100 the lease of several
parcels of land, clofts, pastures, and meadows, with
their appurtenances in the parish of Okeford Shillinge,
"to have and to hold and to farme letten." It is
supposed that Thomas Scovell, Jr., settled there
upon this farm, but no later mention of him has been
found, nor any mention of descendants. He is not
named in his father's will of 1594.

George Scovell, son (probably third son) of Thomas
and Alice Scovell of Wichampton, was of age in 1574

102

when he, his father, and brother Thomas leased land
in Okeford Shillinge of Thomas and George Morton.
He had land in Okeford Shillinge of his father; was
a non-resident owner of land at Shapwick, May 21,
1613. He removed to Downton, Wiltshire. The date
of his burial and the name of his wife have not been
discovered. His children were George, AHce, William,

17 Feb. 1613. The answer of Robert Wallis to the Bill of
Complaint of John Scovll (The complaint itself is missing.) In
the month of January in the tenth yeare of his Majesty's reign
that now is, John Bastard & Willm Weare, menconed in the
said Bill of Complaynt, came to this deft, and did seale a bond

106

of £20 for the paymt of £11 upon the xxixth of Nov. following,
payable at the dwelling house of Mr Richard Scovell (the brother
of the complainant) in Wichampton, which bond John Bastard
did entreate this deft to accept in behalf of the Complainant.
But the said Complt. did not at any tyme before the sealeing
of the said bond acquaint this deft, that he and the said Bas-
tard had made an agreemt that this deft, should take a bond
of the said Bastard & Weare to the use of the Complt. for paymt
of £12:10 as in the said Bill of Complt ys alledged or for the
pmt of anie other some whatsoever. The said Bastard requested
this deft, to write a letter to the said Complt. therby to adver-
tise him to the effect, as farr as this deft, doth now remember,
that he this deft, had taken a bond of vv li for the pamt of
xi li unto him the said Complt. and withal desireing that the
Complt would bee content to accept of the same bond for such
debts and reckoninges as were then betweene them. After-
wards this deft, meetinge with the Complt. or the said Richard
Scovell, or both, the certaintie wherof this deft, cannot prn.
solve, said — and then either the said Complt. himself e or the
said Richard Scovell, by the order of the Complt., as he took
it to be, [told] this deft that the said bond would not be accepted,
the reason then determined to this deft, was there was more
money due to the Complt. by the said Bastard than was men-
coned upon the condicon of the said bond. And this deft,
further saith that of late the said Bastard hath repaired unto
him & hath required him to deliver upp to him the said bond,
alledgeinge that the Complt. doth keepe from him other special-
ties for the discharge wherof he sealed this bond of xx li, but
this deft, doth detaine the bond and hath refused for his better
safety to deliver the bond to either of them, the said Complt.
or the said Bastard although the said Bastard hath thretned
to serve him with proces for the delivery of the bond. But
this deft, saieth he doth most humblie submit himselfe unto
the grave censure of this most noble court for the delivery
ther of, without that he this deft, hath anie bond if xxii li for
the pamt of xi li to the Complt. or anie other bond other than
the bond of xx 1. And without that that anie other matter or
thinge conteined in the said Bill of Complt. materiall or effec-
tuall by the deft, to be answered, confessed, or effectuall by
this deft, to be answered unto and herein not sufficientlie
answered, confessed, and avoyded, traversed or denyed ys
true to the knowledge of this deft. All which matters this
deft, ys redie to averr & prove as this noble: court shall award &
humblie praies to bee dysmissed the same with his resonable
costs and charges in this behalf e wrongfullie susteined.

son) of Thomas and Alice Scovell of Wichampton,
was under age when his father made his will in 1594.
He was then about 17 or 18 years of age. He was

SCOVILLES OF MiCHAELMARSH, HAMPSHIRE.

There appears in the parish of Michaelmarsh,
Hants, in the latter part of the sixteenth century a
group of Scovilles, John, WiUiam, and Mary. They
are thought to have been brothers and sister, al-
though the evidence that John was the brother of
the other two is not forthcoming. Their parentage
has not been found, but evidence is not wanting that
they were from Sturminster Marshall. Possibly they
were children of Andrew Scovill of that parish. If
not, they descend from an earlier branch of the family
at Sturminster. Michaelmarsh is a parish about
five miles from the border of Wiltshire and about
fourteen miles from Salisbury in an easterly direction.

1. John Scovell is not of record at Michaelmarsh,
but his will shows a possible relationship with Mary
and William of Michaelmarsh. He died at Newport,
Isle of Wight, in southern part of Hampshire in 1603.

Thomas Scovill, paymaster of the Roval Navy, who
when ashore lived at Portsmouth and at Rochester in

Newport, Hants. The following has been found con-
cerning him: —

to the Navy. Letter of Committee for the Navy to Com-
missioners of the Navy : —

"Mr. Thomas Scovill, purser of the Charles, being disabled
by indisposition from going to sea this winter, hath requested
that John Packer, who was his steward last summer, may be
admitted deputy purser in the said ship this winter. We have
granted his suit, provided he give good security and the Vic-
tualer of the Navy be not damnified thereby."

26 Oct. 1649. Thomas Scovile of Rochester, Kent, gent,
and Katherine his wife. A treaty of marriage was had five
years since between the orators, which they made known to
Robt. Storey & wife Katherin of Portsmouth Gomner, parents
of oratrice, wherby one third of a leased messuage in Cran-
brook, Kent, of yearly value of £20 above all charges was to be
the orators if said marriage took place. After marriage the
orators moved from Portsmouth to Rochester, leaving plate
and other effects at Cranbrook. John Place and Elizabeth his
wife, sister of oratrice, after the death and will of Robert Storey,
detained said lease. The suit is for recovery of the lease from
Place.

Answer of John Place and wife. No. 126-38. 30 April,
1650. The answer is a general denial in which Katherine,
widow of Robert Storey, joins.

The will that follows is thought to be that of a
descendant of John Scovell of Newport, died 1603,
or of Edmund Scovell of Boldre, who died 1613.

"1634 John the sonne of Thomas Scovell was baptized

"1636 William the Sonne of Thomas Scovell was bap-

Thomas and William, sons of Thomas and Martha
Scovell of Michaelmarsh, settled in Stockbridge, Hants,
where they were taxed in 1666. Nothing more is
known of the son John. If he survived, he could
have been the John Scovell who emigrated to New
England before 1666.

John Scovell, youngest son of Thomas and Auvies,
baptized at Michaelmarsh May 25, 1603, is probably
the John Scovell later of Barford St. Martin, a parish
in southern Wiltshire, six miles west of Salisbury.
He married at Baverstock, a parish two miles west
of Barford St. Martin, Mary Carpenter, daughter
of George Carpenter of Barford St. Martin.

1659. Oct. 14. George Scovell of Barford, Wilts, yeoman,
son of John Scovell of Bartford St. Martynn, Wilts, yeoman,
and Mary his now wife. Mary was daughter and only heir &
child of George Carpenter, late of Barford St. Martyn, and
your orator's grandfather, deceased, who had a messuage of

120

the yearly value of £30, and a copyhold tenement, for the
term of his life value 40 li yearly. Said George Carpenter
made his will and also was possessed of personal estate of £1500;
and he made his daughter Mary and your orator joint executors,
your orator then being very young, not above 8 years of age.
Orator seeks to obtain possession of the estate of Carpenter
as a joint executor, claiming that he is prevented from adminis-
tering.

The answer of John and Mary Scovell.

The two messuages left by George Carpenter were of £10
and £8 yearly value. On Dec. 7, 1641, defendant paid for the
life tenure of the said George Carpenter when he was ill &
shortly before he died. Carpenter by word of mouth bequeathed
his all to his daughter Mary. On 14 Jan. 1641, the said Mary
became administrator to her father's nuncupative will in the
Court of the Archdeacon of Sarum. George Carpenter left no
personal estate of £1500. His estate inventoried at £575-15-4
with debts owing by him of £350. Carpenter offered the defend-
ant all his property if the defendant would pay his (Carpenter's)
debts and care for him for life, which the defendant did. De-
fendant refers to defendant's four other children and com-
plainant's younger brother, but does not give their names.

cupative will gave it to his daughter Susan [Mary] Scovell.

The defendants answer by a general denial, and say that
the name of the plaintiffs wife is not Susan, but Mary

The Christian names of these Kempsford Scovells

of Farmington, Waterbury, and Haddam, Connecticut,
but none of them appear to have emigrated to America,
and none can be found among the Scovells of Hamp-

Scovell. See Pedigree G, opposite page.

John Scovell and His Descendants in
America

1. John Scovell was (it is believed) born in the
parish of Shapwick, County Dorset, England, about
1635. He died at Haddam, Connecticut, between
Dec. 4, 1696, and Nov. 18, 1700, probably at a time
nearer to the latter date than to the earlier; married
March 29, 1666, at Farmington, Connecticut, Sarah,
daughter of Thomas and Mary Barnes, early settlers
of Hartford and Farmington. The dates of the birth
and death of Mrs. Sarah Scovell are unknown, but
she survived her husband, and probably died at
Haddam.

How John Scovell was induced to emigrate to
New England, and in what manner he reached there,
and how he came to arrive in Farmington, Con-
necticut, are all alike unknown. No paper, letter,
or personal account of the voyage or journey is known
to exist. If he ever informed his sons, all tradition
of the matter has been lost. It may be considered
certain that he was not a Puritan, and did not emi-
grate for religious or political reasons. The probable
cause, as shown in Chapter I of this volume, was the
decline in estate of the family and the loss of the
little farm of "Whole Place" in consequence of the
death of his father, Richard Scovell. His widowed
mother and he himself are found a few miles away
from his native parish, and after her death in 1654
he had almost nothing to tie him to the home land.
Yet it required courage to emigrate, and thereby

133

he showed that he was a young man of vigor and
action, and perhaps of some means.

The first mention of him in New England is his
marriage record, and he at once thereafter is found
Hving at Farmington, where he acquired land and
the rights of a proprietor. The early records of the
town are defective, and it is now impossible to say
when and how he obtained those rights.

Farmington Town Acts, vol. 1, page 15. "This 18 Janua.
1670. Land given to severall men on these conditions hereafter
expressed, the particular persons are .... Moses Ventrus
18 acres .... George Orvis heirs 14 acres .... John
Scovel 15 acres."

in. Farmington belonging to John Coale and his heirs forever.
Jan. 14, 1674. . . . One parsell which he bought of
John Scovell as appeareth by a deed bearing date 1683, 4 acres,

more bought of John Scovell also as abovesaid, being a devetion
of land granted to said Scovell by the town. Lying on ye east

bounds, 24>^ acres."

Farmington Records of Deeds, vol. 2, page 105. "William
and Benjamin Scovil of Haddam to Benjamin Judd of Farming-
ton two-thirds of all those out divisions of lands in the bounds
of Farmington which our honored father John Scovel stood
possessed of when he dyed except two divisions which are already
disposed of: to wit a southerly division to Ebenezer Barns and
a division near Wethersfield bounds. Dated March 22, 1709."

Farmington Records, vol. 1, page 109. "Benjamin Judd's
land. One parcell bought of William Scofifill by deed of May
15, 1720, 12 acres. Recorded March 15, 1702-3."

Ensign Samuel Woodruff in will of Feb. 8, 1730-1, gives
to his daughter Mary "my lott against Hartford bounds, that
lot that was firstly John Scovell's."

On May 30, 1674, articles were signed by men
chiefly of Farmington for the planting of a settlement
at Mattatuck, now Waterbury. Actual occupation
and building there were delayed by the Indian war
prevailing in 1675-6, and by the consequent danger

134

of so exposed a location, Mattatuck being about
twenty miles distant from any other settlement.
After these dangers were past, renewed efforts were
made to bring in settlers. At a meeting of the Com-
mittee for Mattatuck, Jan. 15, 1677-8, it was agreed
and concluded "That wee do accept of Johne Roote
Senr subscribing to the Articles for settling Mat-
tatuck in the behalfe of one of his sonnes, and we
accept of John Scovel on Acct of Abraham Bronson."
{Records of the Proprietors of Waterbury, page 2.)
Grants of land in Waterbury were made to John Sco-
vell on March 11, 1678-9, and again later in 1679.
The settlers were very slow in arriving and building.
At a meeting of Feb. 6, 1682-3, ten of the subscribers
"for their not building and some of the fore syd not
cohabiting according to the Articles" had their allot-
ments declared forfeited, "yet notwithstanding upon
their submission and reformation with their cohabita-
tion upon the place one compleat year, as addissionall
to the four years injoined in that Article made to
that purpose in May 30th 1674, [the allotments were
to remain theirs] otherwise this present condemnation
to stand in full force." At this time John Scovell
was complained of for "noe chimney." As a house
without a chimney would hardly have been habitable,
we may conclude that Scovell had not on Feb. 6,
1682-3, brought his family to Waterbury, and that
they were still at Farmington. This proves also that
all the children were born at Farmington and not at
Waterbury as has been supposed. That the men
complained of, including Scovell, "submitted and
reformed," and soon took up their residence in
Waterbury is clear from the records there. John
Scovell certainly retained liberal allotments of land
in Waterbury, as the deed of gift to his son John
Scovell, Jr., clearly shows.

135

However the total length of residence of John
Scovell, Senior, at Waterbury was short. For some
reason he was not satisfied or contented. In 1686
he acquired the rights of a proprietor in the town of
Haddam, purchasing the rights there of John Hanni-
son, the home lot being situated in the locality known
as Shailerville, about two miles south from the Court
House. The deed is recorded in vol. 3, page 80, of
Haddam Land Records, and an abstract is here given:
"April 30, 1686. This writing between John Hanne-
son of Hartford and John Scovil of Mattetuck. In
consideration of £90 to me in hand well and truly
paid I the said John Hanneson do sell, convey and
grant to the said John Scovil my now dwelling house
and homelot in Haddam, eleven acres more or less,
partly on the east and partly on the west side of the
highway leading through said town of Haddam,
abutting on the Great River east, on land of Mr.
Bates north, on land of Goodman Parents south,
common lands west, eight acres on the east and three
acres on the west of the highway. Also a parcel in
the Cove meadow, six acres, and another of one and
one half acres in the same meadow." This deed was
executed at Hartford, March 3, 1686-7, but not re-
corded at Haddam until Feb. 19, 1733-4.

There can be no doubt that John Scovell was a
farmer. He held no public offices, and as far as rec-
ords show was never a member of the churches in
the towns where he lived. Mrs. Scovell was in "full
communion" with the church in Farmington on
March 1, 1679-80, and may have remained on its
rolls until her death.

An autograph signature, "John Scovell," well
formed and very legible, may be seen upon the original
inventory of the estate of Nicholas Ackley of Had-

136

dam who died April 29, 1695. This shows that
John Scovell was fairly well educated for the times.

No will or other settlement of the estate of John
Scovell has been preserved and no record of the births
or baptisms of his children is known to exist. For
this reason the following document is very important,
for it gives the only known list of his heirs.

Thomas Barnes.

Thomas Barnes, father of Sarah Barnes, wife of John Scovell,
was an early settler at Hartford, and one of the soldiers in
the Pequot War in 1637. For that service he received a grant
of land in the Soldiers' Field in Hartford. He seems to have
had a house lot on the "highway from Centinel Hill to the
cowpasture," now North Main Street. His name is among
those "Inhabitance as were Granted lotts to have onely at
the Townes Courtesie wth liberty to fetch wood & keepe Swine
or Cowes By proportion on the Common." He had disposed
of his Hartford lands before 1649, and removed to Farmington,
perhaps in 1646. The surname of his first wife Mary has
never been found. She was tried on an accusation for witch-
craft and on Feb. 6, 1662-3, was convicted. There can hardly
be any doubt that she was executed. Thomas Barnes married
second in 1663 or 1664 Mary, daughter of John Andrews, Senior,
of Farmington. His children were Sarah, Benjamin, and
Joseph by the first marriage; Thomas and Ebenezer by the
second. Thomas Barnes died at Farmington shortly before
Feb. 7, 1689-90. His will (in the form of a deed of gift) is
dated June 9, 1688. In it he mentions his wife Mary, and
sons Thomas and Ebenezer, and goes on to say: "To my
children which are already gone from me and disposed in marriage
I have formerly given according to my Ability, with which
I expect they shall acquiesse."

2. JoHN^ ScoviLL (John^), born about 1669 at
Farmington, Connecticut; died Jan. 26, 1726-7, at
Waterbury, Connecticut, aged 58 years; married Feb.
6, 1693-4, Hannah Richards, born about Nov., 1671,
at Farmington; died at Waterbury, March 5, 1720;

140

daughter of Obadiah and Hannah (Andrews) Richards
of Farmington and Waterbury.

On the town records of Waterbury this John
Scovill is called "Ye son of John of Haddam and
sometime of Waterbury." He received from his
father after the latter's removal to Haddam a deed
of gift of all his lands in Waterbury. The house lot
was at the present northwest corner of West Main
and Willow streets, running northward up to the
line of Willow Street. John Scovill occupied this
estate and house during his life. After his death
it passed to his son William, and after William's
removal to Nova Scotia Hill in Westbury Society
(now Watertown) in 1733 it was occupied by William's
brother, Lieut. John Scovill. In 1760 a half interest
in the house and home lot was distributed to Lieut.
John's son, Obadiah Scovill, and Mrs. Tabitha Scovill,
Obadiah's mother, held an interest therein until her
death in 1788. At Obadiah's death in 1768 he was
in possession of a fraction of the old house and home
lot, and it would seem that his heirs, or those of his
brothers, may have held it until the removal of the
several emigrants to Ohio. John Scovill, Jr., was
a man of influence in Waterbury and was chosen by
his fellow townsmen to the office of sergeant in the
town military company, then a position of honor and
responsibility. He was also a member of the school
committee, for many years one of the selectmen,
collector of the minister's rates, and in 1706 and 1715
constable. He was chosen deputy to the General
Assembly in May, 1714, and at the time of his death
was one of a committee to build a new meeting house.

He made a will by word of mouth on the da}' of
his death, which was as follows: —

"We the subscribers being present with Ser: John Scovill
upon the day of his death which was in January the 26th day

141

1726/7 he then being in his right reason manifested and desired
and accordingly did declare how he would have his estate dis-
posed of which is as followeth first his will was that his oldest
son John should not have a double portion because he has a
bachelders lot, and next I give to my daughter Sarah sixty
pounds with what she has already had, and nexte I give to
my daughter Hannah sixty pounds, and then my three sons
John, William and Edward to have equally alike in the dis-
tribution of my estate. In witnes where of we have heare
unto set our hand this tenth day of February 1726/7."

in Farmington, Connecticut; died Nov. 10, 1712, in
Haddam, Connecticut; married at Haddam, Jan. 20,

1701-2, Martha , born at date not found; died

at Haddam, May 2, 1753. That her name was Bailey
is not capable of proof. She married second Nov.
16, 1715, Sergt. Timothy Shailer of Haddam, son of
Thomas and Marah (Spencer) (Brooks) Shailer. This
is proved by a deed of William Scovill (11) of Haddam,
dated July 4, 1729, wherein he convej^s land to
Nathaniel Tyler and refers to "my honored father,
Timothy Shailer deceased." This must refer to Wil-
liam's step-father, because his wife's father was Thomas
Shailer, brother of Timothy Shailer.

William Scovill is first mentioned in 1697 as serv-
ing in the campaign against the Indians, "eastward,"
by which is meant somewhere on the coast of Maine.
In this service he was wounded, and returning to
Boston, he somehow attracted the attention of Judge
Samuel Sewall, who twice refers to him: —

"Wm. Scovil with his broken arm from Hadham, Saml
Stockin of Middleton, Ebenezer Smith of Saybrook, sick and
mortified broken shins, etc." {Letterbook under date of Oct.
5, 1697.)

"Wm. Scovil being well and having on his new Coat, I
fitted him with my Musket, Rapier, Amunition &c. and he
served in the South Company." {Diary, Feb. 9, 1697-8.) From
Sewall Papers, published in Mass. Hist. Soc. Collections, series
5, vol. 5; series 6, vol. 1.

The occasion referred to by Sewall was the military
funeral of Col. Samuel Shrimpton. Scovil must have
been again wounded, or else have had further trouble
with the injured arm, for in May, 1698, the General
Court of Connecticut voted as follows: —

" Ordered by this Court that William Scovil that was wounded
in the late expedition to the eastward, shall be placed with
some able surgeon and be maintained at the countrey charge

144

until he is cured, and Captn George Gates and Mr Daniell
Brainard are appointed to take effectual care that this order
be attended." Colonial Records of Connecticut, vol. 4, page 252.

The first record relating to a town school in Had-
dam is dated 1705, and on Nov. 8, 1708, the town
voted to procure a sufficient schoolmaster to be em-
ployed ten months in the year from the middle of
February. The master was obliged to teach all chil-
dren sent by their parents to the school both reading
and writing. On the tenth of March, 1708-9, the
town voted to employ William Scovill as schoolmaster.
The school was probably kept in his or other private
houses, as a vote to build a schoolhouse was not
passed until late in 1709. Haddam at this time con-
tained from forty to fifty families, and the number
of children may have been as high as eighty. It is
quite possible that Mr. Scovill's wound had disabled
him from the labor of tilling the soil, and that he
was thus rather obliged to become the town school-
master. He appears to have been living on the farm
his father bought of John Hanneson in 1686, and
living there alone, his two brothers having removed
across the Connecticut River to East Haddam as early
as 1703 or 1704.

In 1710 thirty-six acres of unimproved land were
measured or surveyed on John Hanneson 's ancient
right and recorded to William Scovill. This land
was on Turkey Hill, so called, in the southern part
of the town of Haddam near the Saybrook (now
Chester) line. William Scovill never lived upon this
land, but it fell to his son John, who improved it and
made his home upon it.

William Scovill left no will and the administration
on his estate was granted to Martha Scovill, widow,
on April 6, 1713. The inventory taken Dec. 8, 1712,

145

by Benjamin Smith, Thomas Shaylor, and Joseph
Arnold amounted to £168.05.08, an amount below
the average even in those times. On May 2, 1715,
Mrs. Martha Scovill exhibited an account of her
administration and was appointed guardian to the
two children. The Court then ordered a distribution
to ** Martha Scovell, widow, to William Scovell, eldest
son, and to John Scovell." At this time Mrs. Scovill
signed with her mark, apparently a "C."

1699-1700, at Hartford, Hannah Benton, born about
1676 at Hartford; died at Haddam 1771; daughter
of Andrew and Anne (Cole) Benton of Hartford.

Little is known of Edward Scovell. He is called
yeoman and was doubtless a farmer. The inventory
of his estate amounted to £111.10.06. Mrs. Sco-
vell married second, at date not found, but before
1706, Deacon Benjamin Smith of Haddam, and at-
tained the great age of 95 years.

5. Benjamin^ Scovell (John^), born about 1677
in Farmington, Connecticut; died Aug. 13, 1729, at
East Haddam, Connecticut; married about 1703 Amy

, about whom nothing has been found, except

that she was living 1738, still a widow.

Benjamin Scovell is first mentioned in a deed
(Haddam records, vol. 1), dated March 31, 1698-9,

146

whereby he acquired three acres of land which had
been the home lot of John Parents, and had passed
to his daughter Marj^ wife of Abel Shailer. This
land was in the Lower Town Plot, now called Shailer-
ville, in Haddam. In this deed Benjamin Scovell
is called "sailer," that is, a sailor, although the word
has also been read tailor. If he lived on this land,
it was but for a short time, for he sold land in 1704
to John Bates, and acquired more on the east side
of the river, and soon settled there. In April, 1715,
Benjamin Scovell and wife Amy were dismissed by
letter from the church in Haddam to the church in
East Haddam. Why they delayed this transfer of
their church relations so long is not apparent, for there
had been an organized church in East Haddam from
1704.

The estate of Benjamin Scovell which inventoried
£432.13.06 was not finally divided until Nov. 7,
1738, and was so divided by agreement of his heirs,
no will having been made.

"7 of November 1738. Know all men by these presents

6. John' Scovill {Joihn,^ Joh'n}), born Jan. 12,
1694-5, at Waterbury, Connecticut; died there April
28, 1759; married Jan. 16, 1723-4, Tabitha Upson,
born March 11, 1698, at Farmington, Connecticut;
died before Dec. 8, 1788, at Waterbury; daughter
of Stephen and Mary (Lee) Upson of Farmington and
Waterbury.

This John Scovill occupied the old Scovill home-
stead at West Main and Willow streets in Waterbury,
which had been his father's and grandfather's. He
was commissioned in October, 1737, lieutenant of
the Waterbury military company, and was known
thereafter as Lieutenant John, as his father had been
known as Sergeant John Scovill. Lieut. Scovill also
served on the school committee in 1742 and was
chosen deputy to the General Assembly in May,
July, and August, 1745. These were special sessions

148

held owing to the war with France, wherein the aid
of the colonies to the mother country resulted in the
siege and capture of Louisburg.

John Scovill died intestate, leaving a large estate.
His son Obadiah and Mrs. Tabitha Scovill were
appointed administrators. The estate inventoried
£1317.01.02, of which £1128.17.00 was in real estate,
and the debts were only £65.14.06, which shows that
Lieut. John Scovill was a prudent manager and a
good business man. All his property is listed with
great detail in the Woodbury Probate records, and
will be given in part here: —

"Bible, another ditto, Sermon book by Janeway, another
sermon book by Watts, Book Boston Platform, Family Well
Ordered, one book (of) Tennants', Penetential Cry, old spelling
book, old Testament, one book upon the Lords Super, Watts
Hymns old, one small book blue cover, Mr. Leavenworth's

one black stallion. Brown Horse, old bay mare and colt, swine,
sow and piggs, old sorril horse. Bay year old colt, a brown year

devided lands at 3 d on ye pound £1,02,00." A grand total
of 377 acres beside the home lot.

149

An elaborate distribution of this property to the widow and
all the children was made Feb. 5, 1760, by Capt. George Nichols,
John Judd, and Stephen Upson, Jr. On April 12, 1760, for a
money consideration, Mary and Andrew Bronson, Hannah and
Jabez Tuttle, Annis Scovill and her guardian Tabitha Scovill,
agreed to the division and assigned "over all the Remaining
Parts of each of our Portions to Asa Scovill, John Scovill,
Stephen Scovill and Timothy Scovill, equally to be divided."

Mrs. Tabitha Scovill married second Mr. Trow-
bridge, and was again left a widow in the space of
three years after. There is no other record of this
marriage than deeds on record at Waterbury, or
probate papers on file at Woodbury.

"Tabitha Scovill of Waterbury for 20 shillings conveyed
to Dan Welton all my right in that part of my thirds which
were sett off to me in a piece of land which did belong to my
late husband, John Scovill of Waterbury, deceased. Dated

her
April, 1770. Signed by Tabitha X Scovill." Waterbury Deeds,

mark
vol. 14, p. 306.

On May 11, 1773, Abner Johnson "granted, leased, etc.
unto Tabathy Trowbridge of Waterbury aforesaid, widow,
an apothecary shop now in my possession situated in Waterbury
on the south east corner of Esq. Hopkins Scovill Lot, for the
term of 7 years if she so long live, to her own proper use &
behoof." Waterbury Deeds, vol. 15, page 368.

On May 11, 1773, "Tabathy Trowbridge of Waterbury"
in consideration of the lease of one shop made by Abner Johnson
of Waterbury of equal date and 10 shillings to me paid, do
grant, lease, bargain and release unto him the said Abner John-
son all my Right, and title to a certain dwelling house and 10
acres of land in Waterbury adjoining that which I now possess,
being an estate for my natural life, in and to one half of said
house and land." Waterbury Deeds, vol. 15, page 360.

Paper on file at Woodbury, dated May 8, 1780. Applica-
tion to set out in severalty to the widow Tabitha Scovill now
Tabitha Trowbridge one third of 50 acres of land at the lower
end of Steels meadow.

Mrs. Trowbridge certainly lived out the term of
her lease of the apothecary shop, and probably con-
ducted the business during that period. Her dower

150

was distributed to her children Dec. 8, 1788, and she
had deceased before that date, but the exact time has
not been found.

On April 29, 1768, Moses Bristol of Woodbury sold to Isaac
Trowbridge of Waterbury for £3 one acre of land in the south-
west part of the First Society in Waterbury, and on Sept. 11,
1770, sixty- two rods adjoining his home lot was laid out to
Isaac Trowbridge by James Porter, measurer. On July 13,
1772, Isaac Trowbridge sold all this land to David Wooster
for £15. A dwelling house stood upon the land. There can
hardly be any doubt that this was the Mr. Trowbridge who
became Mrs. Scovill's second husband. He was born in Strat-
ford about 1694, the son of James and Hester (Howe)
Trowbridge. His first wife's name was Ruth, and he had
children born at Stratford: Joseph, born June 12, 1718; Rachel,
born Nov. 18, 1719; Isaac, born March 11, 1721-2. Joseph
Trowbridge was a physician and lived at Danbury and South-
bury; Isaac Trowbridge, Jr., lived at Danbury; married Rebecca
Peck and was still living there in 1790.

Watertown; married first April 17, 1729, Hannah
Richards, born June 26, 1702, at Waterbury; died
April 1, 1741, at Westbury; daughter of John and

June 16, 1742, at Stratford, Conn., Elizabeth Brown,
born in New Haven, Conn.; died May 6, 1752, at
Westbury; daughter of James and Elizabeth (Kirby)
Brown of West Haven and Waterbury; married third
Mrs. Desire (Sanford) Cooper, widow of Caleb Cooper
of New Haven. Mrs. Desire Scovill married third
Deacon Jonathan Guernsey and died Jan. 2, 1795, at
Watertown, Connecticut.

William Scovill lived in a house built by his father
and given to him by will in 1725. This was probably
the house on Willow Street in Waterbury, long known
as the old Johnson house, which was taken down in
1889, being at that time by far the oldest house in
town. About 1733 he exchanged places with Abram
Utter and removed to that part of Westbury known
as Nova Scotia hill. William Scovill was a member
of the Congregational Society of Westbury, founded
in 1739, but he afterwards changed his views and be-
came an Episcopalian. The exact date of his becom-

152

ing such is not known ; he was not counted as a church-
man in 1744 but his name occurs in a "rate bill" or
tax list of churchmen in Waterbury in 1748. His
second wife was a daughter of James Brown, the
earliest known Episcopalian in Waterbury, and it
was doubtless due to her that William Scovill and
all his children became Episcopalians. The statement
that he was one of the founders of Christ Church
and parish in Watertown must be an error, since
nothing was done toward the foundation of this parish
until 1764, nine years after the death of Lieut. Scovill.
He must have been connected with the mission parish
of St. James, founded about 1744, which later became
the present parish and Church of St. John at Water-
bury, over which his son. Rev. James Scovill, presided
as rector from 1759 to 1787.

William Scovill was commissioned lieutenant of
the Westbury militia company in May, 1746.

married Jan. 31, 1739, Martha Baldwin, born March
23, 1713, at Milford, Connecticut; died Nov. 29,
1798, at Watertown; daughter of Jonathan and Mary
(Tibbals) Baldwin of Milford and Waterbury.

Edward Scovill was prominent in the affairs of
Waterbury, being one of the selectmen and reaching
the position of captain of the First Militia Company
in 1761. He resided in Westbury parish, now Water-
town. He was taxed as a churchman about 1760
and he was in 1764 one of twenty men who agreed
"to hold public worship in Westbury on those Sundays
when there was no preaching in Waterbury," and to
make arrangements to build an Episcopal church.
By October, 1765, they had through the efficient
management of Capt. Edward Scovill a building fit
to occupy, although not completed. This building
had by 1773 pulpit, chancel, and canopy and was
used until the Revolution. Reopened for services in
1786-88, it was succeeded by a new edifice in 1793.

154

Captain Scovill is thus rightly considered the founder
of Christ Church, Watertown. In his will he be-
queathed to the church and parish seventeen acres
of land, ''Out of a sincere regard to the religion of the
Gospel and in testimony of my love and veneration
for the doctrine and worship of the Episcopal Church
of which I am now a member, for the use and benefit

of that Church in the parish of Westbury,"

"the annual profits to be applied toward the support
of an Episcopal clergyman officiating in said Church."
This land was afterward sold and a fund established
which still exists.

13, 1706, in Haddam, Connecticut; died there Nov.

born Aug. 17, 1715, at Haddam; died there Aug.
23, 1802; daughter of Thomas and Catherine (Clark?)
Shailer of Haddam.

Little is known of this William Scovil. He left
his father's home, the Hannison farm in Shailerville,
about 1734 and settled at Candlewood Hill in the
northwestern part of the town. Here between high
hills lies a narrow but fertile valley, traversed by
streams bordered by grassy meadows, the source of
hay for the farmer of that time.

In 1756 and doubtless for some years previously
William Scovil and his wife Hannah were members
of the First Church of Haddam.

On Nov. 14, 1788, William Scovil conveyed to
his son, William Scovil, Jr., a dwelling house and
three acres of land in return for "services in my in-
firmity." He made a will, which by agreement of

155

his heirs with William Scovil, the executor thereof,
dated Feb. 22, 1790, was not to be settled "until
after the decease of their mother, Mrs. Hannah Scovil,
and also as long as our sisters Sarah and Catherine
remain unmarried."

12. JoHN^ Scovil {William^, John^), born June
20, 1712, at Haddam, Connecticut; died there shortly
before July 20, 1748, or perhaps before April 7,

1748; married about 1739 Rhoda Arnold, born

at Haddam; died at New Haven, Connecticut, before
1767 (?); only child of Josiah and Abigail Arnold of
Haddam. Mrs. Rhoda Scovil married second Thomas
Ailing of New Haven, but her children appear to
have remained at Haddam. The parentage and both

156

the marriages of Rhoda are proved by deed on record
at Haddam, but the dates are not on record.

John Scovil lived on the land granted to his father
at Turkey Hill in 1710, or at least near it. This was
in the southern part of Haddam, near the Say brook
(now Chester) line, and it is possible that his church
relations, if any, were with the North Parish of Say-
brook, now Chester, rather than with the church at
Haddam, but we cannot be sure of this owing to the
loss of the records of the latter church previous to
1756. The following is from Haddam Town Records,
vol. 3, page M: "John Scovil his mark for his Dumb
Creatures is a halfpenny out of the underside of the
Left or near ear and a slit in the under side of the off
Ear crossways of sd Ear." Recorded May 15, 1741.

The inventory of John Scovil's estate, taken July
20, 1748, by William Scovil, Abraham Tyler, and
Cornelius Higgins, amounted to £467.18.3. This
was at a time when the currency of the colony was
depreciated, but the list of property inventoried
shows that John Scovil was comfortably situated.
Besides 26 acres of improved land with a dwelling
there were 10 acres of other land, a small barn, mare
and colt, cow and calf, saddle and pillion. In the
house the supply of clothing and bedding seems to
have been ample, and there were also knives and
forks, tablecloths, looking glass, chests, a great chair,
other chairs, Dutch wheel, great wheel, wooden and
pewter platters, trenchers, warmingpan, two drink,
ng glasses, a Bible, sermon book, and a psalm book.

11, 1690; died there Nov. 29, 1772; son of Benjamin
Barnes.

At the time of her marriage Susannah Scovil
seems to have been living at Guilford, Conn. Thomas
Barnes resided at Waterbury. He was a shoemaker,
sergeant in the town military company, constable,
and selectman.

V. Huldah, born March 10, 1734; died July 22, 1753.

vi. Daniel, born Oct. 4, 1736; married Mrs. Hannah (Barnes)

14. Hannah' Scovel {Edward'^, JohrO), born Jan.
25, 1702-3, at Haddam, Connecticut; probably died
there, but the date is not found; married Feb. 2, 1725,
Noah Cone, born July 14, 1707, at Haddam; died
there Aug. 5, 1746; son of Caleb and Elizabeth Cone.

The proof of Hannah's marriage to Noah Cone
is found in Farmington Land Records in a deed bear-
ing date April 20, 1730, given by Thomas Barnes of
Waterbury. "In consideration of the quitclaim of the
right of Edward Scovel in Farmington given to me
by Hannah Scovel daughter of the said Edward
Scovel, I, Thomas Barnes, do quitclaim (the said
right) to Noah Cone of Haddam, husband to said
Hannah Scovel."

Very little appears to be known of Noah Cone.
He lived at Haddam, possibly also at Guilford, but
died at Haddam.

died Feb. 9, 1817.
ii. Anne, born Dec. 4, 1729.
iii. Noah, born about 1736.

iv. Elizabeth, born about 1744; married Moses Cook of
Chatham, Connecticut; died Oct. 8, 1808, at Chatham.

15. Edward^ Scovel (Benjamin^, John^), born
April 9, 1704, at East Haddam, Connecticut; died
there April 14, 1756; married (date not found) Deborah
Ackley, born July 11, 1709, at East Haddam; died
there between Nov. 16, 1735, and April 7, 1745, and
probably about 1737; daughter of Sergt. Samuel and
Bethiah Ackley of East Haddam.

Edward Scovel received all his father's lands by
the agreement already quoted, and it is probable
that he lived on them all his life. His name appears
a few times as grantor or grantee on the East Haddam
records from 1741 to 1755. On March 25, 1752-3,
Thomas and Sarah Rogers of East Haddam sold
to Edward Scovel fifteen acres of land with a dwelling,
and perhaps Edward made it his home during the
last four years. The date of his death and the proof
of his wife's parentage were found in the files of the
East Haddam Probate Court.

Mrs. Scovel was admitted to full membership
in the First Church of East Haddam, Oct. 12, 1735,
but Edward Scovel was never a member.

Connecticut; died at East Haddam in January, 1754;
son of Adam and Catherine (Jones) Rogers of New
London.

owned fifty acres of land and a dwelling.

18. Benjamin^ Scovel (Benjamin^, John^), born
about 1711, or 1717; died shortly before May 5,
1778; married (date not found) Abigail Chapman,
born Aug. 26, 1731; died not long after July 5, 1805;
daughter of David and Abigail (Lee) Chapman of
East Haddam.

About 1750 and in 1756 Benjamin Scovel bought
of Samuel Bump and others sixty acres of land in

160

the southeastern part of Middletown, near East
Haddam, and the Salmon River. When the town
of Chatham was incorporated in October, 1767, this
land fell within its boundaries. Here Benjamin lived
until his death. In 1805 Mrs. Scovel sold the house
and part of the land to Zephaniah Mitchell, and he
and his descendants lived here until 1875, giving
their name to a long hill at whose foot the house
stood.

Caleb Chapman and the widow Abigail Scovel took
letters of administration on the estate May 5, 1778,
which inventoried £285. After his death his widow
and children sold off the land piece by piece, and the
records of these sales determine the names of the
children, since no record of their births or baptisms
exists. A distribution of the estate also names
the heirs.

A Benjamin Scovel, probably this one but perhaps
Benjamin son of Edward (15), was a private in the
Second Regiment, Third Company, Major Joseph
Spencer's, from April 12 to Oct. 30, 1759, and again
from April 1 to Nov. 1, 1760, serving in the French
and Indian War.

46. i. Lemuel, born about 1752; married Keziah Briggs.

ii. Nathan, born about 1755; killed in a skirmish near
Green Spring, Va., July 6, 1781. On April 4,
1777, Nathan Scovil, residence Colchester, enlisted
as private in Capt. Daniel Allen's Company of the
Third Regiment, Connecticut Line, Col. Wyllys
commanding. This enlistment was for the war,
and Nathan Scovil saw much service with his
regiment at Stony Point and elsewhere. He was
promoted corporal Sept. 1, 1779, and sergeant July
1, 1781. On Jan. 1, 1782, his sisters Mindwell,
Abigail, and Olive Scovel refused to administer
on the estate and Nathaniel Foote was appointed
administrator. The final settlement was not made

161

until April 5, 1791, and the heirs were brothers

and sisters, which shows that Nathan Scovel

never married,
iii. Mindwell, born about 1757; living March 20, 1806;

married Mr. Wright.
iv. Abigail, born about 1759; she died at East Haddam

about 1850, aged 91 years; unmarried.

v. Amy, born ; married Mr. "Ausden." (Austin?)

1716; bapt. Sept., 1716, at East Haddam; date and
place of death unknown; married about 1738 James
Stewart of East Haddam, son of Alexander Stewart
of Voluntown, Connecticut.

Keziah, wife of James Stewart, united with the
First Church of East Haddam July 26, 1741. Later
they appear to have lived in the Millington Society
of East Haddam. They removed from the town
before or about 1767, but the place to which they
went has not been discovered.

20. Nathan' Scovell {Benjamin^, John^), born
about 1724; bapt. 1725 at East Haddam; died Sept.
11, 1787; married Sept. 8, 1749, at Colchester, Con-
necticut, Elizabeth Gates, born May 8, 1729, at Col-
chester; died Aug. 7, 1787, in Lebanon, Connecticut;

162

daughter of Josiah and Grace (Rathbone) Gates* of
New Salem Society in Colchester.

On Nov. 7, 1738, Nathan Scovell, then aged 14
years, chose his brother Edward as his guardian.
{Hartford Probate Records, vol. 13, page 35.) Within
one or two years after his marriage he removed from
the southeastern part of Colchester, selling on Nov.
23, 1751, to Abial Stark land on the New London road
at a place called Param. {Colchester Land Records,
vol. 6, page 4.) In this deed he is called "Nathan
Scovel, late of Colchester, now of Lebanon." He may
have returned to Colchester later. In 1783 he was
in Colchester, and {Colchester Deeds, vol. 12, page
297) conveyed to his sons Solomon Scovel of Lebanon
and David Scovel of Colchester 120 acres of land with
buildings thereon, situated on the highway from
New London to Hartford. He spent his last days
in Lebanon and was buried in a cemetery in the
northern part of Lebanon, near the Columbia line,
about three miles from Willimantic. Near the site
pointed out as that of his house in Lebanon are an
ancient mill-pond and mill which may have been
constructed and used by him. The gravestone in-
scription and the family Bible still preserved agree
in giving his age as 72 years, and, if they be correct,
he was born in 1715. If he had been born as early
as that, he would have been of age in 1738 and a
guardian would have been unnecessary. This early
date cannot therefore be accepted, since it is against
the action of the Probate Court and also conflicts
with the date of his baptism. Gravestone inscriptions
follow : —

*Josiah Gates, father of Mrs. Elizabeth (Gates) Scovell, was born 1682,
and married May 9, 1714, Grace Rathbone, born July 16, 1695 {^Joseph*,
John^, John', Richard}). Josiah Gates was son of Thomas and Elizabeth
(Freeman) Gates, married July 6, 1675, and grandson of Stephen and Ann
(Hill) Gates. Elizabeth Freeman was daughter of Edmund Freeman of
Sandwich, Mass.

this land to his brother Solomon, and this is the
last mention of him in Colchester. His later
history has not been found, nor any trace of a
family or descendants, but there may have been
one. It is possible that he is the David Scovell
who with Nathan Scovell had grants of land in
Surry, N. H., but these can be better identified
with descendants of Arthur (1) Scovel bearing
the same names.

valued at £122.17.3 and the sixty-five acres of land at £189.

26. Stephen* Scovill (John^, John^, John}), born
Aug. 19, 1740, at Waterbury; date and place of death
not found; married, but no trace of record found.

He served in Col. Whiting's First Regiment in
1761 in the French and Indian War. Dec. 31, 1770,
he deeded his right in the life use of his mother's
property, and calls her ' ' mother Trowbridge. ' * ( Water-
bury Deeds, book 14, page 192.) Dec. 27, 1771, being
then of Charlotte Precinct, Dutchess County, N. Y.,
he deeds to George Nichols **my right and interest
accruing to me by my father, John Scovill; also my
right to the divided and undivided lands in Water-
bury." Charlotte Precinct is the present town of
Washington, Dutchess County, with some adjacent
territory. A personal search of the Dutchess County
records showed no trace whatever of Stephen Scovill.

174

He was probably unsuccessful and in three years had
returned to Waterbury.

"Stephen Scovill of Waterbury confessed judgement in favor
of William Nichols of Waterbury for the sum of £ 27-7-2; ac-
knowledged the justness of said debt, declaring that he had no
estate to satisfy the debt. The said Stephen for the satisfying
of the said debt and costs is assigned in service to Nichols and to
his assigns being of the English nation for the space of three
years from Nov. 11, 1774 until said term be complete." New
Haven County Court Records.

Later he was a Revolutionary soldier, but it seems
impossible to distinguish among the records those
belonging to this Stephen Scovill from others be-
longing to men of the same name, of whom there
were several among the descendants of Arthur (1)
Scovell. He is probably the Stephen Scovill who
rode a horse on the expedition to Fairfield, Norwalk,
and Danbury, 16 July, 1779, in Capt. Clark's Com-
pany of the 16th Regiment of militia. His family
received aid in 1778-9 and he is called a married
soldier in 1780-81. He was living Dec. 8, 1788.

Only child.

27. Timothy* Scovill (John^, John^, John^), born
June 27, 1742, at Waterbury; died there June 22,

born about 1745 at Waterbury; died there Aug.

22, 1812; daughter of Dr. Daniel and Jemima

Porter.

Timothy Scovill is said to have been a stone and
brick mason by trade. He was a private in a com-
pany of the Tenth Regiment of militia, and was
drafted April 26, 1777, and ordered to march to New

175

Haven by Phineas Porter, captain of the said company,
but he neglected to march, and was three times sum-
moned to the County Court at New Haven. He
appeared not, and was fined £10, to be paid to the
treasury of the town of Waterbury. It is recorded
that he returned and served again in the American

army.

William Selkrigg and probably his son Nathaniel
were members of the Church of England, probably
of St. John's parish, Waterbury.

♦William Selkrigg married Dec. 10. 1733, at Middletown, Judith Wallace,
and had John, born June 15, 1734, beside above Nathaniel. He was a barber,
and on Dec. 4, 1735, sold to Samuel Dwight for £16,12s.3d. "one certain
small house scituate in the Township of Middletown, standing near the ship-
yard, in the town plott att the southeast Corner of Mr Ebenezer Hubbard's
homelot on Land belonging to said Dwight, said house being eighteen feet
in length and twelve feet in width." Middletown Deeds, vol. 7, p. 305. This
was probably his barber shop, and he seems to have left Middletown at about
the time of the sale.

by Rt. Rev. Samuel Seabury in June, 1787; advanced to
the priesthood Feb. 24, 1788, at St. James Church, New
London. Officiating at Watertown as lay reader, he
became rector in 1788, giving half his time to St. Peter's
Church at Plymouth. For many years he was in charge
of the churches at Oxford and Gunntown. He also
officiated for a time in Christ Church, Bethany, and had
charge of Trinity Church at Seymour, from 1815 to 1817.
During his last years he lived on a farm in Oxford, near
Southbury, where he died Aug. 25, 1833. He married
Rosanna, daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Castle) Brown,
born Oct. 28, 1756; died at Waterbury, Oct. 26, 1840.
They were buried in Gunntown Cemetery where a stone
was erected to their memory by friends and parishioners.

at Kingston, New Brunswick; married Nov. 7, 1762,

177

at Waterbury, Amy Nichols, born Aug. 9, 1742, at
Waterbury; died June 25, 1832 (or Aug. 7, 1834), at
Kingston, N. B., daughter of Capt. George and Su-
sannah (Hickox) Nichols of Waterbury.

James Scovil's boyhood was spent on a farm. He
varied his outdoor occupations by plying the weaver's
shuttle at the old-fashioned loom where the family
homespun was made. An accident at about the time
of his seventeenth year changed the whole tenor of his
life. This accident rendered him lame for a time and
placed him under the care of Dr. Porter in Waterbury
and the leisure he then had turned his attention to
study. He lived during this time with the Rev.
Mr. Southmayd, who found him so apt a scholar that
he urged his parents to give him a college education.
This being approved by them, he at once began his
classical studies. He remained with Mr. Southmayd
until cured of his lameness, and completed his prep-
aration for college at home, probably under the
care of the Rev. Mr. Trumbull. His father having
left him £200 to complete his education, he graduated
from Yale College in 1757. His own mother had
died when he was about nine years of age, and the
second Mrs. Scovil, who was an Episcopalian, appears
to have had great religious influence over her husband
and his children, all of whom became Episcopalians.
What influenced James Scovil to take orders is not
clearly stated, but it may be surmised. In 1758 the
vestries of St. John's Church, Waterbury, and of
St. Peter's Church, Northbury, now Plymouth, con-
tributed to the expense of his journey to England
for ordination, and evidently had already chosen him
to be their minister, voting to give him £20 sterling
a year, provided he got "nothing at hum, and half
of whatever he might get at hum, and the use of
the glebe." "Hum" then meant England, although

178

few of those vestrymen, perhaps none, had ever
seen it.

He was ordained in Westminster Abbey by the
Bishop of Rochester and returned as a recognized
missionary under the auspices of the Venerable Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel.

Copy of the Letters of Orders of James Scovil.

By the tenor of these presents, We, Zachary, by divine
permission, Bishop of Rochester, do make known unto all men,
that on Sunday the first day of April in the year of our Lord,
one thousand seven hundred and fifty nine. We, the Bishop
before mentioned, solemnly administering holy orders, under
the protection of the Almighty, in the Collegiate Church of St.
Peter in Wesminster did, at the request of our Reverend Brother
Thomas, Lord Bishop of London, admit Our Beloved in Christ,
James Scovil, B. A. of Yale College in Connecticut, concerning
whose morals. Learning, Age and Title the said Lord Bishop
was well satisfied, into the holy Order of Priests, according to
the manner and form prescribed and used by the Church of
England, and him, the said James Scovil, did then and there,
rightly and canonically ordain Priest, he having first in our
presence freely and voluntarily subscribed to the thirty nine
articles of Religion and to the three articles contained in the
thirty sixth canon, and he likewise having taken the oaths
appointed by law to be taken for and instead of the oath of
Supremacy.

In Witness Whereof, we have caused our Episcopal Seal to
be hereunto affixed the day and year above written and in the
third year of our translation.

Zachary Rochester.

He was presented by the Society at his ordina-
tion with a folio Bible and prayer book, bound in one
volume, for use in the church. After doing duty
in Waterbury for many years this book, presented
by vote to an Episcopal church in Ohio, and no longer
used by that church, was brought back to St. John's
Church in Waterbury where it is suitably preserved.
Mr. Scovil continued in his mission, ministering with
success to his several charges, until the disturbances

179

of the Revolution, which not only cut off the assistance
from the Society in England, but greatly reduced or
destroyed the estates of his parishioners, and since
in general they remained loyal to the king, rendered
them liable to insult and persecution. For twenty-
seven years Mr. Scovil ministered to the members
of the Church of England in the present towns of
Waterbury, Watertown, Plymouth, and New Cam-
bridge, now Bristol. Buildings for worship were
provided in each of these places, and he ministered
at each in turn, but resided at Waterbury, in the house
already referred to, built by his grandfather and
occupied also by his father, Lieut. William Scovil,
until his removal to Nova Scotia Hill. In this house
James himself was born. The period of the Revolu-
tion was one of great hardship for the Episcopal
congregations. They naturally sympathized with the
mother country and thus drew upon themselves, and
especially on the clergy, much suspicion and fre-
quently open hostility. Mr. Scovil, though much
respected by his neighbors, did not escape his share.
At one time he came very near to being shot by a
party of "patriots" and a little later left his own
house and went into hiding for a considerable period,
being supplied with food by the members of his
family. When the war was over and peace and in-
dependence were secure, the Waterbury parish met
their misfortunes with great courage and voted that
if Mr. Scovil would remain with them they would
pay him £45 a year for half his time, leaving him to
get what he could for the other half from the ad-
joining parishes which he supplied, and this apparently
not having proved acceptable, they voted Nov. 8,
1784, to give Rev. Mr. Scovil £55 salary for the en-
suing year, including Westbury for a portion accord-
ing to the original agreement, the above salary to

180

be paid by the first of March ensuing. Votes of Sept.
1 and Dec. 7, 1785, show that the church was obliged
to reduce the salary to £45 for half the time. The
currency was much depreciated and the sum of £45
lawful money probably represented but a small frac-
tion of the value of that sum in gold. Beside the
inability of his people to give him adequate support
there was the resentment felt by one at least of his
sons for the unjust treatment he had received during
the Revolution. Mr. Scovil himself, although his
sympathies were on the British side, had behaved
with such prudence and moderation that l.e escaped
anything like personal indignity. All the loyalists
showed a strong desire to live under the Ei'itish con-
stitution, which appeared to them a more just and
stable government than any then existing or likely
to exist under the Republic. Could they have fore-
seen the events of the ten 3^ears following 1783 and
the election of Washington, a churchman, to the
presidency, they might have chosen to remain citizens
of the new nation. Mr. Scovil now took counsel
with his friend and neighbor clergyman, the Rev.
Samuel Andrews, Yale College 1759, minister of the
Episcopal congregation at Wallingford. Both agreed
that separation from their people was unavoidable
unless they too should abandon their homes and
remove to Nova Scotia. This they seemed not un-
willing to do. Mr. Scovil and Mr. Andrews there-
fore formed a committee of leading parishioners under
whose direction upwards of one hundred families,
chiefly of their own parishes, formed an association
to settle in Nova Scotia if they should receive due
encouragement. A memorial was sent to Governor
Parr at Halifax explaining the design and asking that
lands should be reserved and rations furnished the
settlers. The governor being in doubt as to his

181

powers in the matter, sent the memorial to England.
This caused delay and Mr. Scovil and Mr. Andrews,
being anxious lest their plan should fall through,
went to Halifax and personally waited on the gov-
ernor. They obtained his warrant for the survey
of their lands on Chedabucto Bay near Guysboro,
but as the governor had not yet heard that their
memorial had succeeded with the British Govern-
ment, he could hold out no encouragement as to
their being provided with the necessary rations. On
their return the company were greatly disappointed.
The majority were so greatly impoverished by the
war as not to be able to proceed without the aid of
the government. This trip to Halifax was made by
Messrs. Andrews and Scovil in the spring of 1784. Mr.
Scovil took with him one of his sons, who was in ill
health, hoping that the sea voyage might prove bene-
ficial. Excepting for this absence of three or four
months he labored diligently in his Waterbury and
Westbury parishes, preaching twice every Sunday
and giving frequent lectures on week days. "Since
Lady day (March 25th) I have," he wrote, "baptized
103 infants."

The following spring found him still undecided
whether to remain in his parish or to remove to the
king's dominions. He was anxious to live under
the British constitution, yet at the same time most
unwilling to leave his old parishioners as sheep hav-
ing no shepherd. He wrote to the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel in May, 1785, that he
had about 130 families in his two parishes of Water-
bury and Westbury, who were reduced in circumstances
by the war and unable to give him much support, but
that he would leave them with the greatest reluctance.
Towards the end of the summer he writes again (Aug.
20, 1785) to say that he has received the Society's

182

announcement that they cannot continue their grants
to the clergy who remain under an alien flag. He says
that though this resolve gives him pain, he feels that it
is the only thing the Society could do, yet he cannot
entertain the thought of parting with his people, whom
he had served almost twenty-seven years, without
concern, lest for want of a guide they should fall an
easy prey to error and vice. By their sufferings on
account of their loyalty to the king they were reduced
to such an indigent state as to be unable to support
him. It has always been his wish to be in the Society's
service and to live under the British Government.
He had therefore now decided to remove to the Prov-
ince of New Brunswick, in company with his old
neighbors, the Rev. Mr. Andrews and the Rev. Mr.
Clarke. But the season was too far advanced to go
before the ensuing spring, and as his family con-
sisted of a wife and nine children he would need a
gratuity to enable him to remove. The Society
assured him that he would receive an appointment
as one of their missionaries in New Brunswick and
that he would receive a stipend of £50 sterling per
annum, to begin with Michaelmas, 1785, also that
he should have a gratuity of £50 to defray the cost
of removing with his family to his new field of labor.

The manuscript journals of the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel in London give quite fully
the details of the coming of Mr. Scovil and his two
friends, Andrews and Clarke, to the province. On
March 6, 1786, the three missionaries notify the
Society that they were preparing to set out as soon
as possible. On April 20th they inform the Society
that they have agreed for a passage in a vessel that
was to sail from New Haven for St. John on the first
of May, Mr. Scovil taking one son of an age for busi-
ness along with him, but leaving his wife and family

183

behind until he should be able to provide a home for
them. On the 18th of July Rev. Dr. Cooke (then
missionary at St. John, but about to remove to Freder-
icton) wrote to inform the Society of the arrival of
Messrs. Scovil, Andrews, and Clarke, who had all
officiated in their turn in his church. Dr. Cooke
says that on his removal to Fredericton he left Mr.
Scovil in possession of a decent and well finished
church, and a very respectable and well behaved
congregation. Mr. Scovil says that in the space of
a fortnight he baptized 57 persons, 5 of them adults.
He was not destined to remain long in St. John, for
on the 23d of July the Rev. George Bisset arrived,
having been appointed by the Society to succeed the
Rev. Dr. Cooke. The situation might easily have
proved an awkward one. However at St. John an
eminently Christian spirit was manifested by the
missionaries. Mr. Clarke expressed his willingness
to go to Gagetown, leaving Kingston to Mr. Scovil,
which the latter accepted. Probably the change
was in Mr. Scovil's interest in view of his large family,
for Mr. Bisset a little latter wrote: "The mission
of St. John is in point of private interest by far the
worst in the province. The emoluments bear no
proportion to the cost of living. There is no parsonage
and garden, and the people, having contracted a
large debt for repairing the church, will not have it
in their power for some time to afford a single shilling
towards their clergyman's support."

Kingston is described as a very extensive mission,
the people in general poor and unable to build either
church or parsonage without assistance, though very
anxious to have a resident clergyman. A word about
the origin of the settlement at Kingston may be of
interest. During the Revolution the Connecticut
towns of Stamford, Norwalk, Fairfield, Stratford,

184

and Milford were considered by the Whigs as "Tory"
towns, and so numerous were the persecutions and
confiscations of property suffered by the Loyalists
that a very large number were forced to leave their
homes and cross to Long Island which was held by
the king's troops throughout the war. These ref-
ugees found loyal communities along the north shore
of Long Island at Eaton's Neck, Lloyd's Neck, Oyster
Bay, and Huntington. They were occasionally visited
by one or another of the Loyalist clergy within the
British lines. At length in April, 1783, the Rev.
John Sayre informed them in the king's name that
those who preferred to remain under British govern-
ment would be given lands on the River St. John in
Nova Scotia; ships would be provided to carry them
thither and provisions furnished them until they had
established themselves in the country. They were
also promised grants of land for the support of the
church. These people unanimously agreed to remove
to the wilderness of Nova Scotia rather than return
to their former places of abode. They decided to
settle together and form a united community in order
to have the ministrations of religion and the advantage
of a school for their children. From Eaton's Neck
they sailed to New York and from there to the Bay
of Fundy in the spring of 1783. They spoke of them-
selves as "Emigrants who from attachment to their
king and the British Government became voluntary
exiles, preferring even a wilderness to all the comforts
of being in the land of their nativity under the power
of a tyrannical republic."

The names of the men who removed from Con-
necticut in the spring of 1783 to found a settlement
at Kingston have been preserved, and since the list
has historical and genealogical interest, it is here
reproduced entire.

D. Agent.

In a little pamphlet entitled, "Kingston and the
Loyalists of the 'Spring Fleet' of 1783," written by
the late Walter Bates, High Sheriff of Kings County,
himself a Loyalist, he says: —

" It seemed that God's blessing attended us, selected
the best ship in the fleet for our comfort and by far the
best captain.

"With warm loyal hearts we all embarked with one
mind, on board the good ship Union, Captain Wilson,
who received us as father of a family. Nothing was
wanting to make us comfortable on board ship, which
blessing seemed providentially to attend us throughout.

"From Eaton's Neck the ship sailed to New York.
Having a couple on board wishing to be married, we
called upon the Rev. Mr. Leaming, who received us
with much kindness and affection, most of us having
been formerly of his congregation, who after the
marriage reverently admonished us with his blessing
that we pay in our new home due regard to church and
schools as means to obtain the blessing of God upon
our families and our industry.

"We embarked. Next day the ship joined the
fleet, and on the 26th day of April, 1783, upwards of

187

twenty sail of ships under convoy left Sandy Hook
for Nova Scotia, from whence, after the pleasure of
leading the whole fleet fourteen days, our good ship
Union arrived at Partridge Island before the fleet was
come within sight. Next day our ship was safely
moored by Capt. Daniel Leavit, the pilot, in the most
convenient situation for landing in the harbour of
St. John, all in good health.

"We remained comfortably on board ship (while
others were sickly and precipitated on shore from
other ships) until we could explore for a place in the
wilderness suitable for our purpose of settlement.
A boat was procured for the purpose. David Pickett,
Israel Hait, Silas Raymond, and others, proceeded
sixty miles up the River St. John. They reported
that the inhabitants were settled on intervale land by
the river, that the highlands had generally been burned
by the Indians, and that there was no church or church
minister in the country.

"They were informed of a tract of timber that had
not been burned on Belleisle Bay, about thirty miles
from the harbour of St. John, which they had visited
and viewed the situation favourable for our purpose
of settlement. Whereupon we all agreed to proceed
thither and disembarked from on board the good ship
Union, and with Capt. Wilson's blessing embarked on
board a small sloop all our baggage. The next morning
with all our effects, women and children, set sail above
the falls and arrived at Belleisle Bay before sunset —
nothing but wilderness before our eyes, the women
and children did not refrain from tears. John Marvin,
John Lyon and myself went on shore and pitched a
tent in the bushes, where we slept all night. Next
morning every man came on shore, cleared away the
scrub and landed all our baggage, women and the
children, and the sloop left us in the wilderness.

188

"We had been informed the Indians were uneasy
at our coming and that a considerable body had
collected up the Belleisle, yet our hope and trust
remained firm that God would not forsake us and
before night we had as many tents set as made the
women and children comfortable.

"Next morning we discovered a fleet of ten Indian
canoes slowly moving towards us, which caused con-
siderable alarm with the women. Before they came
within gunshot, one who could speak English came to
say, * We all one brother.' They became quite friendly
and furnished us plentifully with moose meat. We
soon discovered a situation at the head of Kingston
Creek for our purpose of settlement with church and
school. No surveyor was appointed until July, when
Frederick Hauser was furnished with directions to
survey and allot our lands according to our wishes.
He commenced where we had designed to place our
church and schoolhouse, with a road six rods wide,
and surveyed twenty-two lots numbering on each
side, and before the lots were drawn, it was agreed
that one acre off each of the adjoining corners of the
first four numbers should be allotted as the place for
the church and schoolhouse, and that lot number one,
on the west side should be reserved for the parsonage
and the water privilege reserved for those who would
engage to build a grist mill and saw boards enough for
the church and schoolhouse. Accordingly a draft was
made of the lots and the numbers fell to the persons
named in the grant. Whereupon every man was
jointly engaged in clearing places for building, cutting
logs, carrying them together by strength of hands and
laying up log houses, by which means, seventeen log
houses were laid up and covered with bark, so that by
the month of November every man in the district
found himself and family covered under his own roof.

189

Here, with the protection of a kind providence, we
were perfectly happy, contented and comfortable in
our dwellings through the winter."

They held their first parish meeting May 10,
1784, when the records of Trinity Church begin.
They held church services at first in houses with the
aid of such clergymen as they could obtain. The
present church was not built until 1789. On the
twentieth of March, 1786, the Kingston people, hav-
ing learned that four missionaries of the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel were to be settled in
New Brunswick, petitioned the governor that one of
the four might be placed at Kingston.

Although Mr. Scovil's appointment to Kingston
was agreed upon in 1786, he did not immediately
sever all connection with his old parish, and spent
the following winter at Waterbury with his family.
He arrived in Kingston again in May, 1787, and was
affectionately welcomed by the parishioners.

Walter Bates further says, "Public worship was
thus attended regularly on Sundays until July, 1787,
when the Rev. James Scovil came from Connecticut
with the view of removing to this province as a mis-
sionary. As an encouragement we voted him the
lot reserved for the parsonage and on the following
summer he removed with his family into Kingston,
and attended public worship on Sunday in the house
of Elias Scribner, when he found, much to his
comfort, a full congregation of church people in the
wilderness ready to do everything in God's name
which the exigencies of the church required.

"With the coming of the Rev. James Scovil and
the establishment of all the ordinances of religion,
our little community was well content."

Mr. Scovil returned again to Waterbury for the
winter. From there he applied to the governor of

190

New Brunswick for a lot of land to build upon and
having attained it immediately set laborers to work
to clear the ground, expecting to have his house ready
to receive his family in the spring of 1788. He ar-
rived in June of that year, his house being so far
finished as to make them "in a measure comfortable."
It was built entirely at his own cost, his parishioners
being unable to afford him any considerable aid.

The next step taken by the people of Kingston
will ever redound to their honor. Although they
learned that the Government intended to make a grant
tow^ards the building of churches for the Loyalists,
Mr. Scovil and his parishioners did not wait for this.
"We decided," says Walter Bates, "to proceed on our
own means." The task was a serious one and the
people set about it in a devout and serious manner,
their subscription list having the following preamble : —

Kingston, December 5th, 1788.

"We, the subscribers, impressed with a full and vigorous
sense of the great importance of religion, and the strong obliga-
tion we, as Christians, are under to pay all due Homage, Adora-
tion and Obedience to Almighty God the common Father and
benevolent Governor of the Universe in whom we live and move
and have our being, and upon whom all our hopes depend both
for time and eternity, and being firmly persuaded that a due
performance of the duties of religion in His House of Prayer
are the most likely and effectual methods of cultivating and
keeping alive a proper sense of religion, do, for the best good
of ourselves and our children forever, covenant and agree to pay
to the church wardens and vestry of the Parish of Kingston, in
Kings County, such sum or sums as shall be by us afBxed to our
names, in labor, money or other articles, according as we shall
sign, which sum or sums signed by us, shall by the said church
wardens and vestry be applied in the most prudent and effectual
manner for the erecting a House to the honour and for the
publick worship of Almighty God, according to the canons and
liturgy of the Church of England, in the Parish of Kingston
aforesaid, upon the square or plot of ground near the house of
the Rev. James Scovil, where it was agreed to build a church

191

at the meeting of the vestry of seiid parish holden at the house
of Mr. Elias Scribner on the 5th day of July in the year of our
Lord, 1787."

A sum equivalent to $539.00 was subscribed by
seventy-four heads of families, and it was agreed to
build a church fifty feet in length by thirty-eight in
breadth. During the winter the needed lumber was
got out, and after planting and seedtime were over in
the spring of 1789, the church was framed and raised.
The minutes of the vestry tell us that on June 27th,
1789, "Through the spirited and unwearied exertion
of the people of the Parish of Kingston, the framing of
the said house was compleated and on this day erected,
a very good frame in due order, without any misfortune
happening, to the encouragement and satisfaction of
all present." By the 5th of November the building,
sufficiently advanced to be used for divine service,
was dedicated by the Rev. James Scovil. In after
years Walter Bates recalled the discourse delivered by
Mr. Scovil, and wrote it in his narrative as follows: —

"My Christian Brethren: We have now witnessed a
ceremony which in all probability we as a parish shall never
witness again. This is but one of the solemn considerations
which is brought into view by an event like this.

"We have now begun a temple dedicated for the worship
of God, in which temple by God's grace our children and their
posterity are made partakers of a rich inheritance. Wherein
the precious tidings of Christ and His cross shall ever find
sanctuary. Where we trust the Divine presence shall abide
after we are gathered unto our fathers.

"But why need there be any religious ceremony on this
enterprise of our building? Because, 'except the Lord build
the house their labor is but lost that build it.' We therefore
now as it were in a mystical sense baptize our church in its
infancy by the name of Trinity Church, and with the sign of the
Cross in token hereafter it shall be a monument and a witness
of the faith of Christ crucified.

"In the name of God we have erected it and we to-day offer
this token of our devotion to Him who is the way, the truth,

and the life. Here we may believe that God's promises will be
fulfilled and blessings will be abundantly bestowed. May the
permanent blessing of Heaven rest upon the solemn transactions
of this day, and may this Parish of Kingston ever be the means
of extending pure and undefiled religion. In this and all our
undertakings may the Lord bless us and keep us, the Lord make
His face to shine upon us and be gracious unto us, the Lord lift
up the light of His countenance upon us, and give us peace both
now and ever. Amen."

The church edifice, thus begun and dedicated in
1789, and much enlarged and improved from time to
time, stands to this day, a witness of the faith and
devotion of those first to come to that wilderness.
The Parish of Kingston is now strong and flourishing.
In 1889 the one hundredth anniversary, and again
in 1914 the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary
of the erection of the church were duly celebrated by
services and a historical address. On the latter
occasion, June 25, 1914, the anniversary sermon was
delivered by the Rev. G. F. Scovil of St. John, West,
and the Rev. C. B. Scovil of Morristown, New Jersey,
was the Celebrant at Holy Communion. Both these
clergymen are lineal descendants of the Rev. James
Scovil, the first rector of Kingston. For ninety years
three rectors named Scovil, — father, son, and grand-
son— ofhciated at the altar of this church and after
the passing of another generation two more of the
name, worthy representatives thereof, again appear
in her sanctuary. The state of the church at Kingston
has always been a source of satisfaction to the bishop
of the diocese, and Trinity Church has been "the root
from which all other churches in the county have
sprung," and has been fitly called "the keystone of the
Church in New Brunswick."

In August, 1792, the Bishop of Nova Scotia paid
a visit to Kingston and remarked in his report to the
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel that "Mr.

193

Scovil's mission is large enough for three clergymen."
In 1793 Mr. Scovil writes to the Society that he
"continues to feel the embarrassment of planting
down in the wilderness with a large family where
the poverty of the people prevented their giving
aid." In 1800 the report of the Society says, "An
ample testimony of his (Mr. Scovil's) diligent and
faithful conduct has been added by the Bishop
of Nova Scotia and the neighboring clergy of New
Brunswick."

In March, 1801, he began to feel the infirmities
of advancing age. He wrote to the Society that
he had been in an ill state of health and
troubled with a numbness in his feet and legs
but it had not yet obstructed him in his duty
every Sunday.

His stipend was £50 a year; he received nothing
from the parish except an occasional marriage fee.
"Articles of family consumption," he writes, "are
now double what they were before the war. Living
on the great winter road between St. John and Freder-
icton necessarily occasions some expense unless I
would shut my doors against hospitality. The par-
ish continues in a quiet state, very little troubled
by sectaries."

In speaking of Rev. James Scovil's character,
Walter Bates says: —

"He was cheerful in common conversation, and
instructive in the strength of his reasoning. As a
minister he was an ornament to his profession — a
worthy example for his congregation. The duties of
religion he inculcated by example as well as precept.
The life he recommended to his congregation he lived
before them. His friendly intercourse with his people
continued to the last unquenched by sickness, pain
and old age. He was gentle without weakness, digni-

194

fied without pride, strict without severity. Good
cause have his children to remember the kind counsel
and pleasant companionship of such a father. Happy,
too, are we that his successor in the church is of the
same family."

"Mr. Scovil was known for punctuality and faith-
fulness in the discharge of his duties. He taught
his people from house to house, comforted the aged,
instructed the young, and made himself agreeable to
children. He had a grave and becoming deportment
and was sound in doctrine." There is a sermon of
his extant, bearing a record of the places where it
was preached. It is very much like other sermons
of this period.

A sermon preached in his memory at Kingston
in July, 1809, by his intimate friend, the Reverend
Samuel Andrews (Yale College 1759), was published.

This sermon is here given in part: —

"From a long and very intimate acquaintance, I
am able to say that no clergyman, within the circle of
my observation, has been more laborious, more constant
and unwearied, more zealous and engaged, for the
long period of fifty years than he has been.

"He was early initiated into Christ's family by
baptism, and had a pious education, and from a child
was conversant with the Holy Scripture. His Maker
had been liberal in the endowment of his mind, he was
of quick understanding and had a strong native genius.

"In his private character he was an affectionate
husband, a tender and pious parent, and a rational,
compassionate master. In common conversation he
was a pleasing companion, and his discourse, though
cheerful, savory and instructive. The clearness of his
ideas and the strength of his reasoning were remarkable.

"In his public capacity he was an ornament to his
profession and a worthy example to his flock. Few

195

had a more happy talent in composition and none a
better judgment in choosing subjects adapted to the
wants and calculated to the spiritual improvement
of his hearers. After he had served God and his
generation with unremitted exertion, he was in a good
old age visited with a long and painful disease, which
preyed upon his constitution from day to day and from
year to year till it has brought him to that blessed
country where the weary are at rest."

Addressing the family, people, and clergy present,
Mr. Andrews continues : —

"You have been a large and flourishing family.
God has blessed you with health and prosperity. The
arrow which flieth by day, nor the pestilence that
walketh in darkness, or the destruction which waste th
on every side hath not reached you till now. Through
the distinguished goodness of God this is the first breach
in your family for nearly fifty years. May his worthy
successor transcribe the virtues of his predecessor and
the son equal, nay, if possible, exceed the father.

" But I cannot close this discourse without observing
to his brethren in the sacred ministry, who are present,
that, as you see, our fraternity is decreasing. God
has taken a principal one from the midst of us, and
I feel weak this day through the loss of his counsel
and advice. O, my brother James, how pleasant, how
very pleasant hast thou been to me !

"But why should we complain at our loss when we
have so good reason to believe it has terminated in his
gain? He has served his God, his church, his family
and his generation with ability, zeal and care. Let us
then, my Reverend Brethren, animated by his example,
double our diligence in the service of our Divine Master.
The harvest truly is plenteous but the labourers are
few; let us not only pray the Lord of the harvest to
send forth labourers into His harvest, but after the

196

example of our departed brother exert ourselves with
diligence and patience, with zeal and perseverance.
The time is short; the conflict will soon be over; the
reward is near at hand."

An extract from one of his letters to the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel in 1767 was printed
in Hawkins' Missions of the Church of England, pages
398-99. He was buried beneath the chancel of
Trinity Church, Kingston. A window near by bears
the following inscription: —

"The Rev. James Scovil, the first Rector, took charge
of this Mission in 1788 and lived to 19th December, 1808, the
76th year of his age, and the 50th of his ministry."

"His son, the Rev. Elias Scovil, succeeded him as Rector,
and lived to 10th of February, 1841, the 70th year of his life,
and the 40th of his ministry."

"Each, after he had served his own generation, by the
will of God fell on sleep and rests here beneath the
chancel."

In the vestry room of the same church may be
seen a tablet with the following inscription: —

In memory of

REV. JAMES SCOVIL,

Born 9th Feb'y, 1733 in Watertown,

State of Con., ordained Presbyter

By the Bishop of Rochester,

8th April, 1759, employed as a

Missionary by the Venerable

Society at Waterbury until

the year 1788, when he was

removed by the said Society

to Kingston, Province of New

Brunswick, and constituted the

first Rector of Trinity Church,

over which he presided until

the 19th Dec, 1808, when he

departed this life

in the 76th

of his age, and in the

50th of his ministry.

Under the north gallery of St. John's Church,
Waterbury, is a black marble tablet with this in-
scription in gilt letters: —

"In memory of the Rev. James Scovil, born in Waterbury,
Jan. 27, 1732, graduated at Yale College, 1757. Ordained
by Zachary Pearce, Lord Bishop of Rochester, at St. Peter's
(Westminster Abbey), England, April 1, 1759. Missionary
of the Ven. S. P. G. to this parish (then St. James), and its
first resident rector, 1759-1788. Died at Kingston, N. B.,
Dec. 19, 1808.

"Also of James Scovill, Esquire, his son. For many years
an officer of this parish. Born March 19, 1764, Died November
26, 1825.

"This tablet is placed here by their grandchildren and
great-grandchildren, 1885."

It will be noticed that the Kingston tablet differs
from the Waterbury tablet in the date given for the
birth of Rev. James Scovil. The Waterbury tablet
agrees in this respect with the date of his birth on the
town records in Waterbury, and is in the Old Style.
The Kingston date is an attempt, incorrect as it seems,
to express the date in New Style. The latter should
have been eleven days later than the former.

He lived in the northern part of Waterbury, later
called the Northbury parish of Watertown, now the
town of Plymouth, although a portion of the parish,
probably including his farm, was later annexed to
Litchfield. He was a farmer and on July 28, 1786,
conveyed to his son Uri Scovill a part of "my farm
in Northbury parish." Samuel Scovill was reckoned
an Episcopalian as early as the period 1749-58. In
1793 he removed to Canada, locating at Bastard,
Leeds County, Ontario. He joined the United Em-
pire League and applied for a grant of land, which
was held in suspense for the decision of the minister
of the Crown. There is no record that he received
the grant. If the record of his death is accurate, he
attained the great age of 104 years.

32. Abijah'' Scovil {William^, John^, John^), born
Dec. 27, 1738, in Waterbury; died December, 1802,
in Bristol, Connecticut; married (date not found)
Elizabeth , who died April 4, 1795, at Bristol.

Abijah Scovil was a physician. He may have
obtained his medical knowledge from local practi-
tioners, or may have gone to England in 1758 or 1759
with his brother James and attended lectures there.
Nothing decisive as to this has been discovered. In
April, 1760, he was in Waterbury, and in November
of the same year he was at Chestnut Tree Hill, in
Derby, now in Oxford, Connecticut. In June, 1761,
he was a resident of Bedford, Westchester County,
N. Y., and was still there on March 19, 1763, when he
witnessed the will of Ephraim Waring of Bedford.
Deeds on record at Wallingford, Connecticut, show
that he bought land in the parish of New Cheshire
in January, 1769, and that his last sale of land there
was in April, 1773. These deeds prove that he was
actually a resident of New Cheshire, since they mention
the land as "the place where I now live," and dwelling
houses and barns. He next chose the parish of New
Cambridge (now Bristol), then in the town of Farm-
ington, as his residence, buying one acre of land there
of Cornelius Graves on March 14, 1774. Later he
acquired other property here. The locality was known
as Chippen's Hill, in the northwest corner of the
town. Nearly all his neighbors were Episcopalians
and Loyalists during the Revolution, and Dr. Scovil
certainly held the same views. In 1774 he is named
as a member of the Episcopal Society at New Cam-

200

bridge, and on Nov. 4, 1784, was enrolled at the
reorganization of St. Matthew's Church, located at
East Plymouth. In February, 1800, he conveyed his
real estate to Elisha Tubbs of Bristol, and the latter
gave bond to support and maintain Dr. Scovil five
years if he lived that long. He died before the five
years expired, and Tubbs acquired title to the prop-
erty from Eleazer Scovil, administrator, in 1803.
Dr. Scovil left but a small amount of personal prop-
erty and was insolvent at his death.

Descendants of Dr. Abijah Scovil's son, Eleazer Sco-
vil, in Vermont preserved for a long time his mortar and
pestle with which he ground his drugs. They also have
spoons made from his silver knee and shoe buckles.

It is possible that Dr. Scovil was twice married.
"Jemima Scofell, wife of Abijah Scofell died May 28,
1772." (Wallingford Records, vol. 19, page 216.)
This has been understood to refer to Jemima (Shailer)
Scovell, first wife of Elijah Scovell of Meriden Par-
ish in Wallingford, a descendant of Arthur (1) Scovell.
This understanding of the record is probably the
correct one, but it may possibly be the record of the
death of Dr. Scovil's first wife. No record of his
children's births has been found. Jesse Scovill of
Plymouth, Connecticut, who died there in 1828 aged
seventy, was not Dr. Scovil's son, but son of Thomas
and Jerusha (Scovell) Scovell of Meriden, Connecticut,
and Orwell, Vt. It is also doubtful whether the
Elizabeth Scovil who married March 13, 1774, Na-
thaniel Matthews of Bristol, Connecticut, was Dr.
Scovil's daughter. It is just possible, but she will be
omitted from the list of his children.

Edward Scovill entered Yale College and graduated
with the class of 1766. In the inventory of his estate
are mentioned "57 volumes of books." He was
probably an Episcopalian, although not separately
named in the tax lists of churchmen. He lived on
Nova Scotia Hill, Westbury, now Watertown.

37. Samuel^ Scovill {William^, William^, John^),
born Feb. 27, 1734-5, at Haddam; died June 2, 1808,
at Durham, N. Y.; married first Jan. 3, 1770, at Had-
dam, Ruth Chapman, born May 30, 1744, in Say-
brook, Connecticut; died March 2, 1776, at Haddam;
daughter of Jonathan and Mary Ingham (or Ingra-
ham) Chapman of Saybrook; married second Jan.
8, 1778, at Haddam, Mrs. Mary (Church) Ventres,
born about 1744, probably at Haddam; died at Dur-
ham, N. Y. (date not found); daughter of Thomas
and Lucy (Clark) Church of Haddam and widow of
Stephen Ventres. Samuel Scovill married third Bar-

sheba , who survived him, but nothing more

has been learned about her.

Nothing is known of the early years of Samuel
Scovill, but he must have had a religious training and
some education. He united with the First Church

204

in Haddam in 1757 when but twenty-two years of
age. The next that we know of him is that he was
sergeant and later ensign in Captain Cornelius Higgins's
Company of Connecticut Militia, and that he was
present at the battles of Long Island and White
Plains, New York, being in the service of the United
States from June to December, 1776.

Mrs. Mary Scovill became a member of the Had-
dam church in April, 1786, and we may be certain
that the home of Samuel and Mary Scovill at Haddam
was one in which sobriety and piety prevailed. The
census of 1790 shows that they then had a family
of fourteen members, consisting, no doubt, of Samuel
Scovill and his wife Mary, four children of Samuel
and Ruth Scovill, five children of Samuel and Mary
Scovill, and three children, Rebecca, Mary, and
Esther Ventres, daughters of Stephen and Mary
(Church) Ventres.

During the years from 1784 to 1798 a considerable
number of men from the towns of Haddam, Durham,
and Saybrook, Connecticut, removed to Coxsackie
District in the state of New York. The region they
settled in was organized as the town of Coxsackie
on March 7, 1788, and two years later it was divided
by a north and south line into two nearly equal sec-
tions; the eastern part kept the name of the original
town and the western part was given the name of
Freehold. This town of Freehold included all of the
present towns of Greenville, Cairo, Durham, Wind-
ham, Ashland, Prattsville, and nearly the whole of
Conesville, now in Schoharie County. It is probable
that Freehold extended several miles beyond Schoharie
Creek. It was then a vast wilderness of 150,000
acres in extent, mostly uninhabited. It was one of
the original townships of Greene County, which was
formed March 25, 1800. In 1803 the towns of Green-

205

ville and Cairo were taken ofif, and two years later
the name of the remainder of Freehold was changed
to Durham, out of respect to the wishes of the settlers,
many of whom, coming from Durham, Connecticut,
had at the very first called the locality where they
had settled, New Durham. On March 3, 1836, the
sections of Durham north and west of the mountains
were annexed to Schoharie County and named Cones-
ville, in honor of Rev. Jonathan Cone, at that time
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Durham.
This explanation has been given in order to locate
exactly where Samuel Scovill located when he re-
moved from Haddam. Since his descendants lived
on the very same land he then acquired, or only a
few miles from it, the explanation will not be re-
peated when an account of them is given.

At some time between 1791 and 1797 Samuel
Scovill obtained title to his land. It was part of a
thousand acre tract in the third Van Bergen Patent
of 35,000 acres and was surveyed for Martin Garret-
son Van Bergen and others in June, 1767. The land
selected by Samuel Scovill was distant about three
miles from West Durham and is a mile and a half
east of the present hamlet of Manorkill. It lay upon
the western slope of Steenburg Mountain, which
falls away very gradually to the valley of the Manor
Kill, descending not more than two hundred feet in
the distance of a mile or more. On the south it de-
scends more rapidly to the stream, and forms the
northern side of an extensive valley opening east and
west. One cannot but admire the skill shown in
choosing this spot at a time when it must have been
covered with forests, and may get extensive views of
the mountains from this farm. The farm which
Samuel Scovill afterward gave to his son Amasa lies at
the eastern end and head of the valley, under the

206

morning shadow of Steenburg Mountain itself, which
towers above it immediately to the eastward.

It is the tradition among his descendants that
Samuel Scovill and his older sons came to this tract
and after clearing and planting sufficient ground and
building one or more log houses returned to Con-
necticut and brought hither their wives and the rest
of their families. They were not forgetful of the
higher interests of life. The early pioneers built
a log meeting house as soon as they possibly could,
and on Nov. 8, 1792, a church, now the First Presby-
terian Church of Durham, was organized. It was
at that time and for many years afterward Con-
gregational in its belief and practice. The meeting
house was about eight miles from the Scovill farm,
but the Scovills, Samuel and his sons, attended its
services as often as possible. They had brought with
them from New England Sabbath keeping and New
England Puritan worship and practice, beginning their
Sabbath at sundown Saturday evening. Samuel Sco-
vill loved the Sabbath worship and he gathered his
neighbors into private houses where most convenient
for prayer and reading the Scriptures and sound,
orthodox sermons from Sabbath to Sabbath. In this
manner was the foundation laid of the Second Con-
gregational Church at West Durham, which in 1861
became Presbyterian. It was organized May 7, 1816,
eight years after the death of Samuel Scovill senior,
but he may be considered as one of its founders.
The family have nearly all been members of this
church in the course of its century of life and influence
as a church. It is a cause for regret that the losses
sustained by death and emigration make it impos-
sible to maintain public worship in this old meeting
house which was built by the willing hands of the
neighboring farmers so many years ago. But such

207

changes are inevitable and soon both church and
meeting house will be memories only.

Samuel Scovill left a will, made the day before he
died, which is on record in the court records at Catskill,
N. Y. He left to each of his children legacies of
money in differing amounts, and to his son Amasa
the farm on which he, Amasa, was then living. To
his sons Stephen, Jonathan, and William he left all
the "messuage situated in Durham on which I now
live with all the appurtenances and farming tools,"
on condition that they pay the money legacies within
a year, or with interest thereon if delayed longer. To
his eldest son Samuel Scovill he left no land, and it
is probable that he gave him a farm in his lifetime,
or that Samuel, Jr., was associated with his father in
the first purchase. Provision was made for a room
in the house for the unmarried daughters, Anna and
Hannah, and he gave ten sheep to his wife Barsheba
as a token of his affection for her. The daughters
Ruth and Rhoda are also mentioned and son-in-law,
Joshua Nowlen, is to be executor.

Oct. 14, 1749, at Haddam; died Nov. 29, 1838, at
Leyden, Lewis County, N. Y.; married Jan. 2, 1777,
at Haddam, Elizabeth Spencer, born Sept. 13, 1757,
at Haddam; died June 1, 1822, at Leyden; daughter
of Daniel, Jr., and Elizabeth (Clark) Spencer of
Haddam.

John Scovil had such opportunities for early educa-
tion as the town of Haddam then afforded. He
became a farmer and was such through life.

He served as a private in Capt. Abram Tyler's
Company, Col. Lay's Regiment, for 2 months from
April, 1775; again in Capt. Charles Sears's Company,
Col. Lay's Regiment, for 2 months from April, 1776;
again in Capt. Cornelius Higgins's Company, Col.
Douglas's Regiment, for 6 months from July 1, 1776;

209

again in Capt. John Smith's Company, Col. 's

Regiment, for 1 month from Aug., 1777; and finally
in Capt. Samuel Brooks's Company, Col. Hill's Regi-
ment, from Aug., 1778, for 2 months, a total of 13
months' service. On Sept. 20, 1832, he applied for
a pension, being then aged 82 years. The application
states that he was engaged in the battle of White
Plains, and at the time of the application a resident
of Leyden, Lewis County, N. Y.

John Scovil and his wife were admitted to full
communion in the First Church of Christ in Haddam
in 1788 and were dismissed therefrom to Leyden in
1810.

On Feb. 8, 1809, John Scoville of Haddam bought
of Joshua and Ruth Stow of Middletown, Connecticut,
10 acres in lot 94, and 52 acres in lot 124 in the town
of Leyden, and on the same date the same Stow and
wife conveyed to John Scoville, Timothy Scoville,
and Thomas Scoville of Haddam 105 acres, part of
lot 74 in Leyden. In 1810 John Scoville bought of
Amos Miller and wife 7j^ acres more in Leyden. In
1820 he conveyed most of this land to his sons Timothy
and Thomas, and this was probably his final dis-
position of his estate. He made no will.

cer, born Jan. 12, 1760, at Haddam; died there Nov.
29, 1825; daughter of Daniel, Jr., and Elizabeth
(Clark) Spencer of Haddam.

Joseph Scovil was a private in Capt. Ensign's
Company of Col. Moseley's Regiment, arriving in
camp on the Hudson River, July 7, 1778. His name
also appears in the short term levies in the Seventh
Connecticut Regiment, Col. Heman Swift's. He en-
listed June 26, 1780, and was discharged Dec. 7,
1780. He was a pensioner, residing in Middlesex
County, Connecticut, in 1832.

He joined the First Congregational Church at
Haddam with his wife Sarah in September, 1787,
and remained in its communion until his death. He
was a member of the General Assembly in 1817 and
again in 1823. His residence was in the Candlewood
district, and he was a farmer.

42. JosiAH* ScoviL (John\ William^, John}), born
June 12, 1740, in Haddam; died Nov. 27, 1821, at
Westfield, Mass.; married (date not found) Frances

, who died at Haddam, March 2, 1806, aged

72 years.

Josiah Scovil assumed the responsibilities of man-
hood at an early age. From 1757 to Nov. 17, 1758,
he served in Capt. Wetmore's Middletown Company
of militia. From April 3 to Dec. 1, 1759, he was
a private in the eighth company, Capt. Redfield's,
of the Second Regiment, and from March 24 to Nov.
21, 1760, a private in the sixth company, Capt. Gay-
lord's, of the First Regiment. This was at the time
of the French and Indian War. In April, 1775, he
served 13 days in the Lexington alarm, and in the
summer of 1776 he was a private in Capt. Cornelius
Higgins's Company, the eighth, under Col. Douglas
in the Fifth Battalion, and was present at the battle
of Long Island and at White Plains.

Josiah Scovil's earmark for cattle was recorded
Jan. 8, 1760: "a crop off the Right or off ear, two
slits in the crop and a hole in the Left or near ear."
This indicates that he was then keeping stock and
running a farm. He lived in the district known as
Turkey Hill, on the southern line of the town. Some
of his land was in Saybrook (now Chester) but his
house was in Haddam. He with his wife united
with the First Church in Haddam in June, 1763, and
they remained in its communion, she until her death
in 1806 and he until his removal to Westfield, Mass.,
in 1807. In 1801 he conveyed his farm to his only
surviving son, John Scovil. In Westfield he lived on
the road from Morley's toll bridge to Northampton,
owning a farm in common with his son-in-law, Josiah
Lewis.

115. viii. Josiah, bapt. April, 1774; married Lydia Shailer.

43. MiCAH* ScoviL (Edward^, Benjamin'^, John^),
born about 1730 in East Haddam; died about or after
1820, probably at Richmond, Ontario County, N. Y.;
married at date not found Mary .

He was the eldest son and of age when his father
died in 1756. He had no advantages of education,
and signed a deed with his mark at this time. May
13, 1757, he sold to Alexander RoUo for £34 a part of
a home lot that had belonged to his "honored father,
Edward Scovel, late of East Haddam, deceased, with
a mantion house standing on it."

The rolls of the Connecticut men who served in
the French and Indian War show that in 1757 he
belonged to the south (Capt. Cone's) militia com-
pany in Millington parish, and was detached for
service, place not stated. In the next year he served
from March 30 to Oct. 30, 1758, in the Second Regi-
ment, Major Spencer's, and was corporal.

Soon after this he removed from East Haddam to
Hartland, Connecticut, then a new settlement. He
was one of those who petitioned Sept. 25, 1760, that
Hartland might be given town privileges, and was
one of twenty men then settled there. Mrs. Scovil
was admitted to the Congregational church at Hart-

214

land June 12, 1779. All her children were baptized
there Aug. 27, 1783, except Esther who was baptized
Oct. 2, 1785.

Micah Scovil may have been the "Michael"
Scovil who served in the Revolution from Hartland,
but this is more likely to have been Micah, Jr. They
lived near the Massachusetts line, and in the census of
1790 he or his son Micah was included in the town of
Granville, Mass. About 1802 the whole family
removed to Ontario County, N. Y., and afterwards to
Trumbull County, Ohio.

44. Benjamin* Scovil {Edward^, Benjamin^, John^),

found.

He chose Elijah Ackley as his guardian in 1756
and must have been nearly of age at the time. He
had no education and could not sign his name in 1764.
A Benjamin Scovil, probably this one, served in the
Second Regiment, Third Company, Major Joseph
Spencer's, from April 12 to Oct. 30, 1759, and again
from April 1 to Nov. 1, 1760. On April 5, 1764,

Benjamin Scovil of Salisbury, Connecticut, sold land
near the meeting house in East Haddam, "being the
whole of that tract owned by said Scovil." The
records at Salisbury reveal nothing whatever about
him. Benjamin Scovil may have lived in Canaan,
Connecticut. The Benjamin Scovil who received a
soldier's bounty from the town of Canaan in 1779 is
probably this Benjamin.

Children.

Timothy Turner of Salisbury, Conn.

45. Lydia'^ Scovil (Edward^, Benjamin^, John^),
born about 1733 at East Haddam; date and place
of death not found; married Sept. 13, 1764, at Mil-
lington, East Haddam, Samuel Banning, supposed to
have been son of Samuel Banning of Lyme and East
Hartland. The census of 1790 shows two Samuel
Bannings, living in Litchfield County, Connecticut,
either at Hartland or Canaan. One of them was
certainly this Samuel.

46. Lemuel^ Scovell (Benjamin^, Benjamin^,
John^), born about 1754 in Middletown, now Chat-
ham, Connecticut; died at date and place not found;
married July 8, 1777, at Chatham, Keziah Briggs;
date of birth and death not found; probably daughter
of Joshua Briggs of Chatham.

The proof that Lemuel was a son of Benjamin
Scovell is found in distribution of Benjamin's estate;
also in Chatham Deeds (vol. 8, page 86), wherein his
father Benjamin and brother Nathan are mentioned.

Lemuel Scovell served in the Second Regiment,
General Spencer's, First Company, Capt. Joseph Spen-
cer's, as a private from May 10 to Dec. 17, 1775.
He was drafted Aug. 24, 1777, and served with the

216

militia at Saratoga, in Col. Latimer's Regiment, Capt.
Jones' Company; was discharged Oct. 30, 1777. A
Lemuel Scovell (probably this Lemuel) engaged for
the town of Roxbury in 1781 to serve three years on
bounty. Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the
Revolution, vol. 13.

Lemuel Scovell lived in the part of Chatham
which was annexed to East Haddam, lying south of
Salmon River. On April 18, 1785, Lemuel Scovell
and ten other men living in Chatham, south of Salmon
River, petitioned the General Assembly to annex
that part of Chatham to East Haddam, alleging the
great distance to town meetings, the steepness and
badness of the roads, the Salmon River unbridged
and unfordable at some seasons, whereas they were
near East Haddam, which was easy of access. The
petition was granted, and the territory south of Sal-
mon River was annexed to East Haddam. Connecticut
Archives, Towns and Lands, Nos. 316, 317.

The census of 1790, which includes him in Chat-
ham, shows that he had a family of five, probably
three sons and two daughters. After 1790 he re-
moved, but whither has not been discovered, and
none of his descendants have been met with.

47. Salma'' Scovell {Benjamin^, Benjamin'^, John^),
born about 1770 in Chatham; died Feb., 1804, at East
Haddam; married Feb. 7, 1793, at East Haddam,
Electa Spencer, born about 1777; died Oct. 30, 1819,
at East Haddam.

Salma Sco veil's parentage is proved in the same
documents as that of his brother Lemuel Scovell.
Salma Scovell lived in Chatham, and probably in that
part of Chatham south of Salmon River which was
annexed to East Haddam in 1785. He left an in-
solvent estate. Articles inventoried indicate that he
may have been a carpenter by trade.

1876, at East Haddam; unmarried.
V. Caroline (?), born Aug. 27, 1803; unmarried in 1834;

then residing at East Haddam.

48. Jerusha^ Scovell (Nathan^, Benjamin^, John^),
born about 1750 at Colchester; died in March, 1799,
aged about 48 years and 8 months; married first
March 17, 1774, Gary Leeds,* born about 1748-50
in Groton, Connecticut; died there Dec. 28, 1781;
married second before Aug. 31, 1787, Mr. Wells,
probably of Groton.

Gary Leeds was one of the garrison of Fort Gris-
wold at Groton, when it was attacked by the British
on Sept. 6, 1781. He escaped the massacre which
followed the surrender of the brave defenders, al-
though severely wounded, leaping from the wall
and clearing the ditch. He took cold and fell into
a fever of which he died. His name appears upon
the bronze tablet erected to commemorate the defense
of the fort and the fate of its brave defenders. His
widow was left with five small children and no estate.

*The parentage of Gary Leeds is not certainly known. The Leeds family
descend from John Leeds, a shipbuilder or sea captain, who came from Kent,
England, as early as 1674 and settled at New London or Groton, marrying
Elizabeth, daughter of Gary Latham. On July 18, 1758, the real estate
of John Leeds, situated at Groton, near the ferry lands, was distributed to
the heirs of William Leeds, deceased, and to Thomas, Gary, and Elizabeth,
brothers and only sister of William. As William Leeds died in 1753 and
was then a grandfather, it is probably true that the John Leeds here men-
tioned was either the original John Leeds, the emigrant, or his son. The
Gary Leeds here mentioned as son of John Leeds cannot, of course, be the
Gary Leeds who married Jerusha Scovell, but may be his father.

218

It is a tradition in the family that she later went with
her children to New Hampshire, and that her relatives
in Connecticut, hearing of her need, went up there
and brought her back, and that she died among them.
This tradition may be incorrect.

died there June 17, 1817; married April 29, 1773, at
Colchester, Anderson Martin, born (date not found);
died in Lebanon Dec. 8, 1821.

Anderson Martin was probably son of Thomas
and Ann (Clark) Martin of Lebanon, although no
record of his birth has been found there. Thomas
Martin was son of Joseph and Mary (Fuller) Martin
of Bristol, Rhode Island, and Lebanon, Connecticut,
and grandson of John Martin of Maiden, Swansea, and
Bristol, who removed to Lebanon, and died there in
1717. If Anderson Martin was not son of Thomas
and Ann Martin, he may have been another grandson
of Joseph and Mary (Fuller) Martin.

Andersoa Martin appears to have lived all his life
in Lebanon, but very little can be discovered con-
cerning him. He is said to have met death by his
own hand.

Children born at Lebanon.

Sept. 20, 1828; married about 1782 Samuel Church,

son of Samuel and Hannah (Rogers) Church of Col-
chester.

He is called Samuel Church 2d, the younger, and
his father is called Samuel Church 2d, the elder, in
the Colchester Probate Records. He left but a very

small estate.

Society, Colchester; died about 1820 at Merryall,
Wyalusing township. Pa.; daughter of Jonathan and
Rachel (Otis) Harris of Salem Society, Colchester.

Nathan Scovell was a private in the Colchester
Company which responded to the Lexington alarm
in April, 1775. He also served as a private in Capt.
Levi Welles' Company of Gen. Spencer's Regiment
from May 18 to Dec. 17, 1775.

He removed to Canaan, Columbia County, N. Y.,
about 1787, and w^as living there in 1790. After that
he removed to Wyalusing, Pa., not far from the place
where his brother, Moses Scovell, had settled.

Dec. 1, 1832; married Feb. 5, 1784, at Lebanon,
Molly (or Mary) Dewey, born Oct. 5, 1761, at Lebanon;
died Sept. 13, 1829, at Colchester; daughter of Solo-
mon and Anna (Downer) Dewey of Lebanon (now
Columbia), Connecticut.

He removed to Lebanon during the Revolutionary
War, but returned to Colchester not long after his
marriage, his father giving him a farm there. He
was a soldier in Capt. Nathaniel Harris's Company,
at New London, in 1777. He received a pension in
1832, and papers at the Pension Bureau state that he
died Nov. 27, 1833. This may be the correct date of
his death. He was a man of substantial worth and
public spirit. He resided on a farm on the old New
London road, Colchester, which he bequeathed to
his daughter, Sarah Ann Tracy. He owned another
farm, which he called the Ellery farm, which he be-
queathed to his son, Amherst D. Scovell.

Moses Scovell probably left Connecticut before
1790, since his name does not occur in the census of
that year. In 1796 his name appears among those
taxed in Exeter township (previously Westmoreland,
claimed and settled by Connecticut), Luzerne County,
Pa. He was still in Luzerne County in 1807-8. Some
years later he removed to Galena, O., and then to Johns-
town, Licking County, O., where he died. In Ohio
he was a local "squire," or justice of the peace. He
was also executor of the estate of Dr. Oliver Bigelow,
the founder of Hartford, O., who left property there
and in Johnstown.

This family presents the only discovered instance
of marriage between the lines of John (1) Scovell and
Arthur (1) Scovell. Mrs. Moses Scovell's mother,
Rachel Scovel, was a daughter of Arthur^ Scovel
(Arthur^, Arthur^), of Colchester, Connecticut.

Before leaving Connecticut Moses Scovell enlisted
in Capt. Sanford's Company of Col. Sherman's Eighth
Regiment, and is said to have been present at York-
town when Cornwallis surrendered; also to have
driven artillery wagons under Capt. Carty, wagon
master. His gravestone at Johnstown, O., is inscribed:
"A soldier of 76."

Amherst Scovel lived all his life on his father's
farm or in the near vicinity. He was an active,
public-spirited man. He served in the State Militia,
as all men of that period did, reaching the rank of
captain, if not higher rank. He was much respected
and trusted; held office of justice of the peace, 1820
to 1837. He was a Baptist.

But few traces of Reuben Scovill can be found. On
the day of his second marriage Abraham Andrus
deeded to him his house lot and farm of thirty-three
acres on condition that Reuben would support him
and his wife Mabel. Reuben Scovill does not appear
to have owned any land previous to this. On Oct. 19,
1812, he was still residing in Watertown, but the date

found.

On Feb. 13, 1802, Joseph Doolittle sold to John
Scovill of Albany a rood of land, dwelling house and
blacksmith shop in the southwest part of Watertown,
and on April 7, 1808, John Scovill, still of Albany,
sold the same property to David M. Bradley. Reuben
Scovill was a witness to this deed and for this reason
we think John of Albany was his brother. He may
be the John Scovill who was paymaster of John T.
Van Dalfen's Regiment in 1808, ensign and lieutenant
in 1809-10, and reported moved away in 1811. See
vol. 3 of the Council of Appointment, State of New York.

Caroline Preston, born Feb. 27, 1788, at Woodbury,
Connecticut; died there Sept. 30, 1838; daughter of
Nathan and Concurrence (Prindle) Preston of Wood-
bury.

It is not certain that this Joseph Scovill was the son
of John (25) Scovill and Anne Barnes, but it seems
impossible to place him elsewhere. A Joseph Scovill,
probably this one, was made a member of the Congre-
gational Society of Watertown in 1801. About 1820

229

he removed to New York City, and probably died there.
In 1823 Mrs. Carohne Scovill, probably then a widow,
conveyed land in Woodbury. She was then a resident
of New York, but returned to Woodbury.

When after the Revolution his father removed with
his family to Nev^^ Brunswick, James Scovil was the
only one of the children who remained here. He was a
prominent citizen of the town, a large land holder,
acted as trial justice and was always known as Esquire
Scovil.

During the war of 1812 he established, in company
with others, a woolen factory on East Main Street.
When peace was declared, and the markets again
open to foreign goods, domestic manufactures could
not compete with the foreign, and the owners of the
factory retired from business with considerable loss.
He inherited the homestead with land on the east end
of the Green in Waterbury, and here he lived and had
his shop, a store for general merchandise, near his house.
He was a man of fine appearance and much dignity of
manner. For many years he was warden of St. John's
Church, Waterbury, where a tablet to his memory has
been placed. For the inscription, see the sketch of his
father, the Reverend James Scovil, near the end.

The above account has been taken from Dr. Henry
Bronson's History of Waterbury. Dr. Bronson also
says that Mrs. Scovil was a woman of superior char-
acter and endowments.

1805, Eliza Scovil, born Aug. 4, 1783, at Watertown,
Connecticut; died Dec. 18, 1869, at Kingston; daughter
of William and Sarah (Brown) Scovil of Watertown.

Elias Scovil seems to have excelled in his studies,
but in his young days to have been extremely diffident.
In the year 1800 it was decided that he should take
holy orders and become a missionary under the Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel. When Bishop
Inglis of Nova Scotia proposed to send young Scovil
to take charge of the parish of Maugerville, the people
acknowledged him to be a most worthy young man,
but alleged that he was too diffident and modest.
The Bishop asked if they would have an impudent
fellow? They said, "No," but wished their missionary
might have some share of confidence in his own talents.
The Bishop rejoined that diffidence was usually a
mark of merit and that time would cure Mr. Scovil
if he had too much of it.

Elias Scovil was ordained a deacon in the Church of
England on September 20, 1801, and went immediately
to Fredericton. He was spoken of as a worthy and
excellent young man and was much liked. After his
ordination as priest he returned to Kingston to assist
his father.

The report of the Society for 1803 says: "The
Rev. James Scovil has been disabled from doing any
duty for a year past by a severe attack of the dropsy,
since when his health has been gradually declining
without any hopes of recovery. His son has taken
charge of the mission and of the adjoining parishes."

In the Journal of the Society for 1808 there is a
notice of the death of the Rev. James Scovil. It says:
"He was a ver}^ old missionary of the Society, having
been employed in their service nearly fifty years. His
son has earnestly requested the Society to appoint him
to the mission, with which they have the more readily

237

complied as the Bishop of Nova Scotia had recom-
mended it soon after he was made assistant, and his
character and conduct since justly entitle him to this
mark of the Society's appreciation and favour." Two
of the outlying parishes of which he had charge he could
visit only once a year, so extensive was his mission.

In October, 1818, Mr. Scovil had a severe attack
of typhoid fever and though he was able to return
to his duties on Christmas Day, his constitution never
fully recovered from its effects.

In 1826 the Bishop of Nova Scotia wrote: "Kings
County was blessed in its early settlement with the
zealous pastoral labours of the late Mr. Scovil, a most
valuable and primitive missionary, who planted the
Church around him deeply and firmly."

There are many appreciative notices of the work
of the Rev. Elias Scovil scattered through the various
ecclesiastical records of the province.

In the vestry room of Trinity Church, Kingston,
is a tablet with the inscription : —

In Memory.

found.

The census of 1790 shows Uri Scovill living at
Watertown, Connecticut. It is possible that change
of town boundaries, and not removal, brought him
into the town of Litchfield, as Mrs. Melicent Scovill
was buried in the old cemetery at Watertown. Soon

241

after her death he appears to have removed, perhaps
to Ohio. The children of MeHcent Scovill hired lands
on the Ohio River near Marietta from their grand-
father, Samuel Southmayd, and in 1812 all the heirs
were residing at Zanesville, Ohio.

About 1833 Uri Scovill purchased land in Leeds
County, Ontario, Canada, where he resided and
probably married again.

Mr. Scovill was called "Jr." to distinguish him
from William, son of Lieut. William Scovill. He
resided at Watertown, Connecticut, until 1789 when
he removed to Northfield parish, Litchfield, Connecti-
cut, where he made his home till about 1806, when
he moved to North East, N. Y., where his youngest
child was born. He was a bridge builder and he and
his son Samuel were engaged in bridge building at

242

Baltimore where both died of a fever in 1808. After
his death Mrs. Scovill returned with her children to
Litchfield. Her will, dated May 3, 1845, gives her
residence as "Lawrence, Mercer Co., N. J., but late
of Watertown," but the estate was settled at Water-

and a leading man of Coventry. He was wealthy
and he and his wife were unusually social and active.
They were Episcopalians, and held services in their
house, in which the missionary clergy and Bishop
Hobart were annual guests. There is no Episcopal
church at Coventry now, and probably the church
at Bainbridge, which was a part of Coventry, owes
its existence to these services. The old home is still
standing. Mr. Allyn went to Steubenville, Ohio, on
business, having a large sum of money to buy goods
and land. He died suddenly and it was many weeks
before the news reached his family. The money and
lands were not recovered.

1826, at Galway, N. Y.; married March 3, 1785, at

Salisbury, Eunice , born March 16, 1765; died

It is probable that this Benjamin Scovil is the one
who, according to the census of 1790, was living in
Litchfield County, having a family of five persons.

267

When but a little past fifteen years of age he enlisted
Jan. 7, 1778 (another authority says Jan. 9, 1779),
in Col. Heman Swift's Regiment and was in the com-
panies of Capt. Steven Miles, Capt. Titus Watson,
and Capt. S. Comstock and was discharged Nov. 2
or 3, 1783. Men named Benjamin Scovel received
bounties in 1779 from the town of Canaan and from
the town of Salisbury. One was probably this man
and the other was his father, but it is possible that
only one man is meant. On April 15, 1818, he applied
for a pension and was then living at Galway, Saratoga
County, N. Y. The pension was allowed. The infor-
mation here given is taken from the pension applica-
tion, from published Revolutionary rolls, and from an
old Bible record furnished by his great grandson,
Charles C. Scovil of Shelbyville, 111., in 1895. Ben-
jamin Scovil is believed to have removed to Galway
in or soon after 1791. His widow went to Ohio with
her second husband.

In 1834 he was living at New London. Tliis is
proved by a deed {East Haddam Records, vol. 21, page
393) whereby Benjamin Scovil of New London and his

given, convey to Stephen M. Mitchell an acre of land
partly in East Haddam, partly in Chatham, near

189. James Mitchel Lamson^ Scovill (James^,

at Waterbury; died May 16, 1857, at Waterbury;
married Oct. 9, 1849, at Watertown, Sarah Ann Morton,
born Sept. 27, 1811, at Watertown; died Oct. 19, 1896,
at Waterbury; daughter of WilHam H. and Sarah
(Buckingham) Merriman and widow of Thomas C.
Morton of New York.

James M. L. Scovill was the first of the descendants
of the Rev. James Scovil to add the second "1" to his
name. In early life he had used but one, and was
generally called Lamson Scovill. He was one of the
most energetic and successful of the pioneers of manu-
facturing in Waterbury. At the age of seventeen he
entered the store of his father as a clerk, having doubt-
less already gained some experience. At nineteen
he was in business for himself and on Sept. 19, 1811,
at the age of twenty-two he became one of the firm
of Leavenworth, Hayden & Scovill, at the time when
they purchased the gilt button business of Abel Porter
&Co.

Mr. Scovill was a man of fine physique and in-
domitable energy and perseverance. He had a reten-
tive memory, a ready address, a hearty manner united
with a certain dignity of bearing, that begat confi-
dence and made a favorable impression. His place
was in the market, and for many years in New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston he was a famihar
figure. He was quick and generous in his sympathies,
easily moved by the sight of suffering, or by accounts
of it, quick to the rescue when aid was possible, and
equally indignant at the cause of it when that cause
was to be reached. It was not long before his death
that he left his horse standing in the middle of the road
to lay his whip over the shoulders of a man in a field
near-by who appeared to be treating a boy with uncalled-

295

for severity, although it was the man's own son. He
was, as this would indicate, somewhat impetuous
in his nature, but his impulses were so clearly on the
right side and his courage so undaunted that his
impetuosity seldom, perhaps never, led him into
serious trouble. In the days of his youth he relieved
the tedium of a monotonous life by escapades of an
intensely practical nature, of which the "bear" story
is the most amusing. Bronson in his History of
Waterhury speaks of him as follows: "The present
manufacturing interests of Waterbury are perhaps
more indebted to Lamson Scovill than to any other
man. He was bold, energetic and sagacious. So
soon as he got strength of his own, he was ready to
lend assistance to others. Many enterprises have
been carried forward to a successful result by his
kindly aid. Not only his relations but his friends
in the largest sense shared in his prosperity. His own
generous impulses he did not hesitate to follow, even
when indulgence was expensive. He was a large
hearted man, with social, kindly feelings. Few men
have been more respected or beloved. He was a
member and a liberal benefactor of St. John's Church.
He and his brother William endowed the Scovill
professorship in Trinity College. He made a home
for his mother and widowed sisters which was his
home when in town; and then, when one after another
had left, and he had to some extent given up active
business, he married."

190. Elizabeth^ Scovill {James\ James\ Wil-
liam^, John^, John}), born May 12, 1792, at Water-
bury; died there July 9, 1880; married Sept. 10,
1809, at Waterbury, John Buckingham, born Oct.
17, 1786, at Watertown; died there May 3, 1867;
son of David and Chloe (Merrill) Buckingham of
Milford and Waterbury.

John Buckingham was for many years one of the
leading men of the Watertown section of Waterbury.
He raised a company of men in Watertown and held
a captain's commission during the War of 1812. While
in the service he was stationed at New London and
at New Haven. At the close of the war he was com-
missioned colonel of the State militia, but soon resigned
the position. For a number of years in connection
with the brothers Scovill, he conducted a manufac-
turing business at Oakville, where he resided. He
was a resolute man, lithe, active, and afraid of nothing.
Entertaining stories are told of his fullness of life
and pranks when a young man and of his strength and
courage when between sixty and seventy years of
age. In 1821 he removed to Waterbury and identi-
fied himself with the business interests of the town.
For more than twenty-five years he was connected
with his brothers-in-law, J. M. L. and W. H. Scovill,
under the firm name of Scovills & Buckingham. When
the firm became the Scovill Manufacturing Company
he still retained his interest as a stockholder. He
represented both Watertown and Waterbury in the
General Assembly and in 1838 was State Senator for
the sixteenth district.

Though having only a common school education,
he found time for extensive reading and intercourse
with men and things. He had a taste for general
literature, and appreciated Shakespeare and authors
of eminence. He had a social disposition, and was

297

pleasant in his intercourse with his fellow men. He
was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church, and
was buried with Masonic honors, to which order he
was much attached.

March 5, 1807, at Ogdensburg, N. Y.; died Nov. 25,
1839, at Waterbury; daughter of Thomas John and
Ruth (Foote) Davies; married second March 23, 1841,
at New Haven, Rebecca Hopkins Smith, born Dec.
24, 1804, at New Haven; died Aug. 4, 1854, at Water-
bury; daughter of the Hon. Nathan and Rebecca
(Hopkins) Smith of New Haven.

WilUam Henry Scovill was educated in the schools
of his native town and at the Cheshire Academy.
At the age of seventeen he became clerk for Mr. Peck
in New Haven, and three years later his employer
established him in Waterbury with a stock of goods.
After about two years this experiment was abandoned
and he became clerk for his uncle, William K. Lamson,
who about that time removed from Waterbury to
Berwick, Pa. Two years later he established business
for himself at Turner's Cross Roads, Halifax County,
N. C, where he remained a few years, doing a success-
ful business. In 1827, while on a visit home, he decided
to purchase a half interest in the firm of Leavenworth,
Hayden & Scovill. The firm then became J. M. L. &
W. H. Scovill, and so remained until 1850, when a
corporation was formed. The two brothers were so
intimately associated in the minds of the public that it is
hard to consider them apart. They were very different
in character, but one supplemented the other. While
William H. Scovill was a man of much energy and very
decided action, it was his intellectual power, his sagacity,
foresight, financial ability, and sound judgment that did
so much for the prosperity of the firm. He was the plan-
ner, the organizer, the man at home, while his brother
represented the business abroad. He possessed a quiet
dignity of manner which was sometimes mistaken for
coldness, but he was very generous, with a warm heart,
but much less impulsive than his brother. His public
and private charities were bountiful. To his foresight

299

and generosity the city of Waterbury owes its public
Green. Dr. Henry Bronson in his History of Waterbury,
says: "He was emphatically a public benefactor and
his loss was a public calamity." He was a member of
the Episcopal Church, and a warden of St. John's
parish for many years. Throughout Connecticut he
was known as a liberal patron of the Church and its
institutions. He and his brother endowed the Scovill
Professorship in Washington (now Trinity) College at
Hartford. In all the most sacred relations of life he
was faithful, affectionate, and true.

The first Mrs. Scovill was a woman of many virtues,
of uncommon intelligence, and great force of character.

his brothers, and of the Scovill Manufacturing Co.,
of which he was a stockholder. "He was an active

300

man in religious and benevolent work, a prominent
member in the First Congregational Church, holding
the office of deacon, a man of strong convictions,
positively held and fearlessly expressed."

Jan. 27, 1802, at Southbury; died Feb. 21, 1870,

Joel Hinman studied law and settled at Water-
bury in 1824. In 1830 he was appointed judge of
probate. He was twice elected to the State Senate
and several times to the lower House. In 1842 he

301

was elected a judge of the Superior Court and in 1861
he was elected chief justice of Connecticut, and held
that office until his death.

Judge Hinman resided in Waterbury until 1845,
when he removed to New Haven, and later to Cheshire.
He was a man of good natural ability, excellent com-
mon sense, and great firmness of mind. As a judge
all his stronger qualities came into play and he met
with marked success. An extended notice of Judge
Hinman was published in Vol. XXXV of Connecticut
Reports.

1839, Jacob Lyman Clarke, born Sept. 19, 1807,
at Westhampton, Mass.; died Jan. 26, 1877, at Water-
bury; son of Jacob and Susannah (Bangs) Clarke.

Previous to his fifteenth year Jacob L. Clarke
worked upon a farm. In 1822 he went to Cambridge,
Mass., to study with his brother, the Rev. Orange
Clarke at that time a student at Harvard College.
After two years of this he taught schools at Ports-
mouth, N. H., and Beverly, Mass. In 1827 he entered
Trinity College at Hartford and graduated in 1831.
His father was a farmer of moderate means and his

302

sons were dependent on their own exertions for the
educational advantages they obtained. He seems
not to have had the ministry in view at first, as he
became a communicant of the church while at college,
and it has been said that until he was after twenty
years old he had never seen the inside of an Episcopal
church.

He studied three years at the General Theological
Seminary in New York, and was ordained deacon by
Bishop Brownell at St. Mark's, New Canaan, June
29, 1835. He supplied that parish and Ridgefield
until he came to Waterbury, the second Sunday after
Easter, 1837. Here he labored with great success
for almost forty years until his death.

During this long period the history of his life is
substantially the history of the parish. His success
was so marked, his power of administration so evident,
and the contributions of the parish under his guidance
so liberal to the general work of the church that it
could not fail to attract attention, and few parishes
in the country were better known than St. John's,
Waterbury, and few clergymen better known or
more highly esteemed than its rector. His life had
few salient points for biographical purposes. He will
be remembered outside of his parish for his earnest
labor in missionary work and his single-hearted zeal
for all that was good. Although St. John's was only
one of eight or ten churches in the town, yet on the
afternoon of his funeral business was suspended and
the whole population poured forth to do honor to his
memory. It was a spontaneous tribute to a life of
goodness.

For a fuller account of Rev. Jacob L. Clarke's life
and work, see History of St. John's Church, by Fred-
erick John Kingsbury. The sketch here given is
condensed from that account.

England; married, about 1837, Sophia Gilbert, born
about 1816; died Feb., 1895, at Brighton; daughter
of Henry and Eliza (Simonds) Gilbert of St. John.

William Scovil had a University education, re-
ceiving the degrees of M.A. and Ph.D., and then took
orders in the Church of England and was rector of
the church at Norton, N. B., from 1842 to 1815.
The church at Norton was erected in 1811, but not
consecrated until July 18, 1826. The centennial
of its erection was celebrated Nov. 29, 1911, by a
service of Holy Communion followed by historical
and other addresses by his Lordship the Bishop of
Frederic ton, by the Ven. Archdeacon Raymond, and
others.

Mr. Scovil resigned the rectorship at Norton
and became Canon of Christ Church Cathedral,
Fredericton. Later he went to England, where he
died. He inherited a part of the library of the cele-
brated Rev. Cotton Mather of Boston, but this was
burned in the conflagration which swept St. John
in 1877.

Mrs. Scovil was a granddaughter of Col. Thomas
Gilbert, the celebrated loyalist of Freetown, Mass.,
and her mother was the daughter of James Simonds,
one of the original settlers of St. John.

N. B.; died at St. John, N. B., June 6, 1876; married
Jan. 24, 1842, Frances Lee, born Jan. 24, 1822; died
May 13, 1913, at Rothesay, N. B.; daughter of Hon.
Thomas Carleton and Margaret Lester (Wet more)
Lee of Fredericton, N. B., Receiver General of the
Province of New Brunswick, 1836-1850.

In the Bishop of Nova Scotia's report to the Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel for 1834 appears
the name of William Elias Scovil, eldest son of the
Rev. Elias Scovil, and afterwards third rector of
Kingston. He says, "On Sunday, May 25th, I ad-
mitted Mr. W. Elias Scovil, A.B., of King's College,
Windsor (son of the Society's valuable missionary
at Kingston, New Brunswick), to the Order of Deacons.
At the earnest request of his father, who is in great
need of assistance, I have allowed Mr. Scovil to remain
for the present in Kingston, but have encouraged him
to expect no more than the Society's limited allowance
of £50 a year."

In his first report to the Bishop, William Elias
Scovil writes, "Rather more than half a year has
elapsed since I was admitted by your Lordship to the
holy order of deacons, and thereby separated to a
work which was the object of desire from my early
years. I trust that with purity of motive I sought
that service in which my fathers had so long labored
before me."

The salary being so small, Mr. Scovil was for
several years master of the grammar school at Kings-

305

ton and received boys from a distance as boarders
in his family.

On Sunday, August 2, 1835, Mr. Scovil was or-
dained priest in Trinity Church, Kingston, by the
Bishop of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick being included
in the diocese of Nova Scotia. There was a congre-
gation of 500 persons present at the ceremony. In his
speech to the vestry later the Bishop said the church
in Kingston was the root from whence all other churches
in the county had sprung.

In 1841 the Bishop records that during his visita-
tion he "was met at a certain point by the Rev. Wil-
liam Elias Scovil and was sorry to learn that his
valuable father, the missionary at Kingston, was
prevented from coming to us by a dangerous illness."
In a footnote the Society adds that it has received
news of the death of this valuable missionary.

In 1857 Bishop Medley of the new diocese of
Fredericton notes that he visited Kingston and con-
firmed 107 persons, being the largest number ever
presented to him at one place in the diocese.

A granite monument stands near the chancel
window of the Kingston Church inscribed : —

258. Hezekiah^ Scovil {Hezekiah^, Joseph"^, Wil-
liam\ William\ John'), born Feb. 13, 1820, at Haddam;
died there Jan. 13, 1903; married Dec. 12, 1860, Caro-

338

line Anne Bonfoey, born May 18, 1837, at Haddam;
died there Nov. 21, 1907; daughter of Benanuel and
EHza (Burr) Bonfoey of Candlewood district, Haddam.
Hezekiah Scovil was educated in the schools of his
native town and commenced business life as teller in the
Middlesex County Bank of Middletown, Connecticut.
At the solicitation of his brother Daniel who had
been traveling in the South, he was induced to go into
business with him about 1845 in the manufacture of
plantation hoes. The growth of the business, which
was located at the village of Higganum in the north
part of the town of Haddam, was slow but sure, and
the brothers accumulated a fortune. They remained
in business together until the death of Daniel Scovil
in 1881, after which Hezekiah conducted it alone
until his death. With such skill and integrity was
their business conducted that the name "Scovil" on
a hoe was the mark of excellence, and their product
always met with a ready sale. Mr. Scovil solved the
problem of remaining at home and working out a
successful career, by creating a profitable industry
in and for his native town. Not only that, but he
maintained the enterprise for two generations at such
efficiency that it was stronger at the time of his death
than ever before. He was in the business harness
for sixty years. He never "retired." Though lacking
but one month of eighty-three years, and having for the
last two years failed in bodily strength, he continued
in actual control of his business until the last day of
his life, personally inspecting the finished product,
so insistent was he that the high standard of excellence
for which his goods were famous, should be maintained.
The name "Scovil" sells a hoe as the name "Dunlap"
sells a hat. Though no orders were ever solicited,
the orders received were always sufficient to keep the
plant in operation.

339

Hezekiah Scovil served repeatedly as selectman
in the town of Haddam in his younger days. He was
first sent to the General Assembly of Connecticut
in 1857 and a second time in 1861, when he was ap-
pointed a member of the then most important com-
mittee, that on military affairs. The third and last
time was in 1869, when there was much interest in
Haddam over the construction of the Valley Railroad.

In politics he was at first a Whig, and after the
fall of that party he became a Democrat. At the
last he supported McKinley rather than Bryan. He
believed, as President Cleveland said, "that it is not
the business of a government to support its people, but
of the people to support their government; and once
to lose sight of this vital truth is as dangerous as to
trifle with some stealthy narcotic poison." He had
no sympathy with free silver or paternalistic theories,
and did not desire tariff protection from the govern-
ment against competition in his industry. He held
tenaciously to decided opinions and though naturally
impulsive was restrained by the power of a clear
intellect and by strong common sense. He had
qualities which would have made him a great financier,
a successful physician or lawyer, and the power to
command had he chosen to adopt a military career.

He was a gentleman in the best sense of the word,
dignified, yet easily approached, unostentatious. He
dispensed bounty to the poor, and favored public
improvements, and was willing to pay for them. He
was a trustee and liberal supporter of the Middlesex
County Hospital in Middletown. He had a deeply
religious nature and contributed freely to the support
of the Congregational Church in Higganum where he
lived and of the First Church in Haddam where his
ancestors worshiped. In all respects he was the
foremost citizen of Haddam at the time of his death.

340

Mrs. Scovil was a member of the Congregational
church in Higganum and there much of her interest
was centered. In 1904 she presented to the society
of this church a beautiful pipe organ in memory of her
husband. Her benevolences, which were wide, large,
and varied, were not confined to her own church or
denomination, but expressed her broad sympathy
and charity. She was a power for good in the com-
munity where she lived and took a personal interest
in each individual, especially where there was sorrow
or need.

259. Philemon^ Scovil (John^, Josiah\ John^,
William'', John"), born Dec. 17, 1778, in Haddam;
died there July 7, 1844; married first Sept. 17, 1801
(recorded in records of Congregational church, Chester),
Sarah Ely, born in Haddam, Oct., 1778; died there
March 18, 1816; daughter of Capt. William and
Hannah (Barker) Ely of Haddam; married second
about 1817 (exact date not found) Mehitabel Prior,
born about 1795 at Middletown; died at East
Haddam (Moodus) July 24, 1851, aged 56 years;
daughter of Elijah and Lucy (Bailey) Prior of
Middletown.

Philemon Scovil appears in early life to have lived
on the old farm at Turkey Hill in Haddam, but later
owned a small place further north in Tylerville. He
was a sawyer, sawing ship timber and other large
frames. When this business was not available, he
probably engaged in farming. It may be that he
spent some years in Guilford, now Madison. Some
of his descendants think he died at Maromas, having
lived some time with one of his sons, and was buried
there, but it seems more probable that he died in

341

Haddam. No family record has been found and it
seems impossible to give his children in the exact
order of their birth.

Detroit, Mich., then little more than a frontier pest.
In 1827 he received a patent from President John
Quincy Adams for 190 acres of land near Detroit, in
the township of Greenfield. This land has always
remained in the possession of the family. At that time
there were no churches, or even meetings, but a traveling
minister, thought to have been a Methodist, came along
and he held the first religious service ever known in
this part of the country in Luther Scovel's house.
Luther was also visited by his father at this place.

from Richmond, N. Y., to Trumbull County, O., and
in February, 1838, came to DeKalb County, Ind.,
and settled in Stafford township where he rented land
for two years. He then moved to Newville township
where he had previously entered land in section four.
In 1857 he bought and moved to a farm in section
twenty-nine in Stafford township, where he lived for
thirty years. He was one of the hardest working

Nathan Scovell received his early education in
Burdett, N. Y., and later attended the State Normal
School at Albany where he finished within a few
months of graduation. He taught school at Burdett
in 1849, but after his marriage went into mercantile
business. He taught school at Belvidere, N. J.,

349

during the winter of 1854-55. The next year he
accepted a secretaryship with the IlHnois Central
Railroad and moved to Chicago. His health becoming
impaired by the confinement of office work, he bought
land in Ford County, 111., then a virgin prairie. He
farmed this land for several years, but an increasing
family needed better educational advantages and so
he returned to teaching in 1866. He was one year
at Sadoris, 111., and then for several years principal
of the East Side High School of Champaign, 111.,
leaving there in 1871. Subsequently he was superin-
tendent of the Salem and Newton public schools until
1892. At this time his eyesight was impaired by
cataract and he retired to his farm at Rose Hill, where
he died.

He was a man of fine mentality and an inspiration
to those with whom he came in contact. He was a
leader among educators. He never took a school or
a system of schools that was not built up by his labor
and influence. His high schools articulated with the
State University, so excellent were his methods and
practical ideals. He believed that the way to lift
the state was to lift its educational system.

In religious preference he was a faithful member
of the Methodist Church.

Frederick John Kingsbury, born Jan 1, 1823, at Water-
bury; died September 30, 1910, at Litchfield; son of
Charles Denison and Eliza (Leavenworth) Kingsbury
of Waterbury.

Her grandmother Scovill was Alathea Lamson
and her grandmother Davies was Ruth Foote, and
from these two she received her baptismal name.
Her mother was the daughter of the Hon. Thomas
John Davies,* who went from Davies Hollow near
Washington, Connecticut, to Ogdensburg, N. Y.,
and sister of Professor Charles Davies of West Point,
Chief Justice Henry Davies, and General Thomas M.
Davies of New York. Her mother was a woman
of great loveliness, combined with much strength of
character, and died when her eldest child was eleven
years old, but by that time there had been impressed

*"Rev. Thomas Davies was son of John Davies, Jr., and was born in
Herefordshire, England, Dec. 21, 1736, and removed to New England with
his father in 1745. Thomas graduated at Yale College in 1758. He was
ordained deacon by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Thomas Seeker, in
the Episcopal chapel at Lambeth, Aug. 23, 1761, and ordained priest by the
same prelate the following day. He soon returned to America and entered
upon his duties as a missionary of the Society for Propagating the Gospel
in Foreign Parts, at the age of twenty-five, in several of the towns of Litch-
field County, Connecticut. He made New Milford his principal place of
residence, and there he died suddenly May 12, 1766. His pulpit performances
were of decidedly superior merit. His personal appearance was prepossessing,
his delivery forcible, and the composition of his sermons showed marks of
scholarship in advance of the generality of preachers of his time." Cothren,

upon the daughter's character the mother's strong
sense of duty and high ideals in hfe.

Alathea Ruth Scovill was educated at the school
of the Misses Marshall and Crafts in Naugatuck, and
afterwards at the Misses Watson's school in Hartford,
where she formed some lifelong friendships. She then
went to Mrs. Willard's school in Troy, N. Y., where
she graduated in 1847. Four years later she was
married to Frederick John Kingsbury and two years
afterwards went to live in a house built for them by
her father. Here she spent forty-eight unusually
bright and happy years. The holiday seasons, which
brought together the children and grandchildren under
the home roof, were looked forward to and planned for
by her with almost childlike enthusiasm and pleasure.
So keen was it that it pervaded the entire household
with its atmosphere of cheer. And happily her last
days here were lived in the brightness of Christmas
anticipation. While on a visit at the house of her
sister, Mrs. Curtis, in New York, she passed away
without an illness and without pain. (From Alathea
Ruth Scovill Kingsbury, a Memorial, printed for her
family and friends, the foregoing and the following
excerpts are taken.)

"In recalling the character of one whom a warm
friendship, extending over more than thirty-seven
years, has given me ample opportunity to estimate,
I am impressed chiefly with the largeness and wealth
of her nature and the completeness of its devotion
to the service of others. Though small of stature,
her womanhood was of lofty proportions. She was
by nature physically strong, full of vitality. Her
physical strength gave her, in her girlhood, the keenest
enjoyment of country life, and her excellent mental
training at Mrs. Willard's school in Troy was supple-
mented by acquaintance and intercourse with culti-

378

vated men and women during the years previous and
subsequent to her marriage, — an event which must be
regarded as having been ideal in all its relations. She
looked out on the world from a wholesome, well-
balanced mind, and took large, reasonable, hopeful
views from the first; but I do not think that even to
the end she appreciated how wide a place she filled
in the affections of many and what a force she was in
many useful lives."

"Clear and accurate in her judgments, resolute
and steady in her activities, broad and wise (not
extravagant) in her visions, she was supremely tender
and sweet in her sympathies. Going in every per-
plexing question of individual, social or national life
to the very sources of good or evil, she had yet so
large a faith in her friends and in an overruling provi-
dence that any one who knew her intimately could
not fail to feel the inspiring influence of her life moving
him to do the best that was in him. It was not that
she exhorted much or reproved much; but the sweet
reasonableness of the better way in every emergency
seemed to flow forth from her in loving and helpful
words, so that no one could leave her after an inter-
view in which anything was seriously considered
without being thankful for knowing her."

"It was this that made her presence so much
sought after by all sorts and conditions of people.
Perhaps but few of these were clearly conscious of
the intellectual and spiritual power that she had.
Few may have analyzed the significance and value
of a visit with her; but there are those in positions
of influence to whom the thought of her in crises and
perils gave just the assurance needed that life is of
inestimable value and that service to one's fellow men
is the greatest glory of humanity. And this was
deeply true of her in spite of the fact that she recog-

379

nized to the full the inscrutable mysteries of life and
death. She loved to solve problems, and although
she studied the old mysteries with the conviction
ever deepening that they are insoluble, her apprecia-
tion of the value of life and her practical exhibition
of the beauty of service never diminished. Nor should
it be forgotten that her helpful flow of talk was as
simple and modest as that of a child; that with all
her clearness of vision and the self-reliance of a per-
fectly sound nature, her words seemed to come from
a loving companion and not from an oracle, although
they had for many the force of authority."

"Motherhood had in her the fullest development.
Her wisdom and love blended in harmony. Her
affection for her own, for all who were very near her,
for her children and grandchildren and even for some
others, was a mighty tide that lifted them high up,
away from the flats and shallows, and then sent them
with courage out to face the storms of the ocean."

"In the changes society underwent during her life,
there were many things that amused and some things
that perplexed her; but all the same 'she beat her
music out,' and the sweet, clear notes of faith, hope,
and love were just as loud from her lips at seventy
as in her enthusiastic girlhood. Perhaps some excep-
tion should be made to the full extent of this statement.
Her love for her own was so mighty that if one of
them was taken it was a wound in the very heart of
her being. Such a death not merely arrested the
movement of her life; it turned that movement in
upon herself with great violence, and did seem for a
little to threaten her serenity, or, perhaps I should
say, the normal growth of her sympathy. It was
very hard then to see her suffer, and to one who saw
her suffer thus life became more inscrutable. But
the equipoise of her being was so perfect that we

380

always knew that faith would come out triumphant
and that from the fruit of her discipline and sorrow
the lesson would be learned anew that 'every cloud
that veileth love is itself love.* "

"It is almost impossible for me to record with
sober words my feelings of admiration and affection
for her. She seemed a part of the benign order of
things. A delightful companion, full of knowledge of
historical and family life, touching every subject she
discussed with a genial, wholesome insight and hope,
admiring the gifted scholars whom she knew, yet
always estimating them by the true significance of
their lives, rejoicing in the best literature, yet working
for every humble cause, carrying the poor of every
sort upon her heart, getting out of her wide experience
sometimes humorous and sometimes inspiring lessons,
— how is it possible for our world to go on without
her? Her goodness and (I use the word deliberately)
her greatness were so real, so genuine, so natural, so
pervasive in the thoughts of all who knew her, — how
can our world go on without her?" Dr. Franklin
Carter, President of Williams College,

Frederick John Kingsbury, only son of Charles
Denison and Eliza (Leavenworth) Kingsbury, was
born in Waterbury, at the home of his paternal grand-
father. Judge John Kingsbury, January 21, 1823. He
died at his summer home. The Lindens, Litchfield,
September 30, 1910. He was named Frederick John
after his maternal grandfather. Dr. Frederick Leaven-
worth and his grandfather Kingsbury. He was edu-
cated in the schools of the town and also spent a year
and a half partly in study with his maternal uncle, the
Rev. Abner J. Leavenworth in Virginia. He com-
pleted his preparation for college with the Rev. Seth

381

Fuller, at that time principal of the Waterbury Acad-
emy, and was graduated at Yale College in the class of
1846. He studied law in the Yale Law School under
Judge W. L. Storrs and Isaac H. Townsend and the
Honorable Charles G. Loring of Boston and the Hon-
orable Thomas C. Perkins of Hartford. He was ad-
mitted to the Boston Bar in 1848. Mr. Kingsbury
opened an office in Waterbury in 1849, but in 1853 he
abandoned the law for the banking business in which
and in manufactures and other business enterprises
he had been busily engaged. In 1850 he represented
his native town in the legislature. Having his atten-
tion directed to savings banks and believing that a
savings bank would be a benefit to the people of
Waterbury, he obtained a charter for one. He was
appointed its treasurer and successfully administered
its affairs for over fifty years. In 1853, in connection
with Abraham Ives, he established the Citizens Bank
of which he was president. He was a member of the
legislature in 1858 and in 1865 and was chairman of
the committee on banks. In 1865 he was a member
of the committee on a revision of the statutes of
Connecticut. In 1858, he was made a director of the
Scovill Manufacturing Company. He was secretary
of that Company from March, 1862, to January, 1864,
and treasurer from March, 1862, to January, 1866.
In 1868 he succeeded Samuel W. Hall as president.
He was secretary of the Detroit and Lake Superior
Copper Company, organized in 1867. For many years
he was a director of the New York and New England
Railroad and also of the Naugatuck Railroad. Mr.
Kingsbury was treasurer of the Bronson Library Fund
from its reception by the City in 1868, a position
which he retained until 1899. He was treasurer of
the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut from
1879 to 1910. In 1881, he was elected a member

382

of the Corporation of Yale College, was re-elected in
1887 and again in 1893. At the Centennial Cele-
bration of Williams College, October 10, 1893, he
received the degree of LL.D. and the same degree
from Yale in 1899. He was elected president of
the American Social Science Association in 1893-94 and
95. He was a member of the American Antiquarian
Society, the American Historical Association, the
Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, the New
Haven County Historical Society, the Society of
Colonial Wars of which he was governor, and the
University and Century clubs of New York. As all
this would indicate, he was fond of historical and lit-
erary pursuits, and also gave much attention to soci-
ology. He had a strong taste for genealogical inquiries
and a remarkable memory for minute events in family
relationship so that he was a recognized authority on
events in local history. (Condensed from History of
Waterbury and the Kingsbury Genealogy.)

* * * * He generously contributed many chapters
to the History of Waterbury, wrote a History of St.
John's Episcopal Church, Waterbury, and published a
Genealogy of the Kingsbury Family besides contributing
many papers to current publications.

"My chief aim in what I have said to-day has
been to convey some idea of the amount of work ac-
complished by this busy man of affairs in the line of
literature and local history. The variety and volume
of his work I venture to-day has not been realized by
those who knew him best.

"Those who were privileged to know Mr. Kings-
bury in daily life, in the quiet refinement of his own
library, and to hear the reminiscences of his interest-
ing career, lighted up with the most delightful humor;
those who recall that forceful, kindly movement of

383

his head when his deeper sympathy was touched by
the recital of the hard experiences of some friend;
those who have heard him ask in a gentle voice some
apparently innocent question and have perceived a
moment later that it contained a whole volume of argu-
ment;— these easily believed that on every occasion,
in every condition, 'he bore without abuse the grand
old name of gentleman.' It was a beautiful feature
of his life that he always had time to hear the story
of one asking for advice or help. The hurry and
bustle of modern life never crowded him. His serene
belief that little things deserved attention as well as
great, his readiness to listen to any one who came to
him with small or serious trouble, made large exactions
on his time. An interview was always granted and
the visitor went away a wiser, more thoughtful man.
"The things that impart charm to a man and
fineness and richness and restfulness to a community
may not be the things that men covet most to-day,
but if there is a 'Kingdom of God' coming into this
sad and anxious world of ours, they will covet such
things sometime, and the kind of work illustrated by
the life we have been reviewing is, I am persuaded, a
kind that hastens the good day we pray for more than
most of us think it does. Let us not cease to welcome
it and honor it." (Extracts from commemorative
addresses delivered at a meeting of the Mattatuck
Historical Society, November 9, 1910, of which Mr.
Kingsbury was president from 1872 until his death.)

Mary Ann (Scovill) Curtis.

An Appreciation by her Daughter, Elizabeth Curtis.

My mother's great personal charm, her responsive-
ness and sense of humor, endeared her to every one
with whom she came in contact. She combined a
love of the beautiful in nature, music, art, and literature
with a keen interest in public affairs. John G. Car-
lisle, who was Secretary of the Treasury in President
Cleveland's second administration when my brother
was assistant secretary, once said that he would rather
discuss politics with her than with any man he knew.
She was the confidential adviser of her five sons; to
whom her unerring insight, clear vision, and unfailing
sympathy were of invaluable assistance. She thor-

385

oughly enjoyed the life in Washington in 1893-7 with
its various types of people who came to her house in
Connecticut Avenue.

While there, Cecilia Beaux painted her portrait.
It showed her seated in the crimson drawing room,
dressed in black satin with the soft white of the widow's
cap, which she wore from the time of my father's
death when she was fifty until her own death at the
age of seventy-eight. Her dark hair was parted and
waved on her forehead, her features were finely modeled
and regular. Her hands were folded in her lap with
an air of great repose. Indeed, although she had
more "temperament" than any one I ever saw, no
one entered her door without being greeted by a radiant
smile, however ill she felt, and she was more or less
of an invalid for thirty years.

She spent many winters in the South and gave
vivid descriptions of Charleston before the war, and
of watching the pursuit of blockade runners from
neutral ground at Nassau in the Bahama Islands.
Sometimes, she stayed at my brother Randolph's place,
twelve miles from Asheville in North Carolina. It was
on a mountain which gave a marvelous view of the
French Broad Valley with range on range of blue
peaks beyond. For hours she would sit and watch
the changing shadows; and the sunset gave her as
much pleasure as a fine opera. She appreciated
Monet's landscapes at a time when many people only
ridiculed an effort at "plein air." Once on seeing
Puvis de Chavannes' decorations in the Boston Public
Library and feeling the sense of atmosphere and
harmony, she exclaimed, "It is like listening to the
most beautiful music!"

As a young girl she had a fine soprano voice of
such range that she sang Jenny Lind's songs with no
difficulty. It was very true, sweet, and clear.

386

Her marriage, when she was twenty, interrupted
her music, which ceased entirely on her becoming
quite deaf from diphtheria a few years later.

It was at the house of her uncle, General Thomas
A. Davies, that she first met my father when she was
spending the winter with another uncle, Judge Henry
E. Davies in New York. They found they had lived
only six miles apart in Connecticut, my father in
Watertown and my mother in the old white house
where she was born at the end of "The Green" in
Waterbury.

My mother and aunt were educated at the Willard
Seminary at Troy. They were fond of riding horse-
back, and, unlike most girls of their time, were allowed
all the outdoor exercise they wished. On my mother's
marriage, my grandfather gave her the house in East
Fifteenth Street near Stuyvesant Square, where most
of her children were born and where she lived until
the family moved to Twentieth Street in 1874. The
summers were spent at the place in Watertown which
was bought by my grandfather. Judge Holbrook
Curtis, when he left college and began to practice law.
There my mother kept the furniture and china which
came to her and my father through several generations.
The trunks of old dresses, jewelry, and lace were
sacred objects shown only on rainy days.

Although she was quite small, she had great natural
dignity, and one look of disapproval meant more
than a tirade from any one else. The colored crayon
portrait of her at eighteen gives an idea of how lovely
she was at that time, with a brilliant complexion,
rounded throat, and beautiful eyes. She seemed all
color, life, and wit, a totally different type from my
father, who thought that art and music were hardly
as important as some other more material things.
He was tall, formal, and conventional, speaking several

387

languages, and fond of elegance and finish in all his
appointments. He was on the bench for a number of
years and the title of Judge suited him exactly as it
did also my great-grandfather, William Edmond,
who was a member of the Fifth Congress at Phila-
delphia in 1797-8. From there he wrote many letters
of precept and advice to his daughters, among them
Elizabeth Payne Edmond, who was considered a
great beauty before her marriage at twenty-four to
my grandfather.

My mother was sincerely religious, but broad-
minded. She believed in charity in private, more than
in public, and a cheque from her often tided over some
one who was in a hard place. In all her social relations
she was absolutely unselfish and considerate of other
people, beloved by every one who felt her warm,
generous sympathy.

Her vitality and spirit, her will to live and enjoy
what she could, her intense affection for her family,
kept her alive like a flame when any one else would
have succumbed to the many physical ills which
assailed her.

"A noble woman, nobly planned
To warn, to comfort and command;
And yet a spirit still and bright
With something of an angel light."

— Wordsworth.

William Edmond Curtis was educated at the
Episcopal Academy at Cheshire, Connecticut, and
went from there to Washington College (now Trinity
College), at Hartford, Connecticut, where he received
his degree at Commencement in 1843. His maternal
grandfather was William Edmond, an officer in the
Continental Army, a member of Congress and a judge
of the Supreme Court of Errors and Appeals in the
State of Connecticut. William Edmond Curtis later

388

became a trustee for life of Trinity college, which con-
ferred upon him the degree of LL.D. in 1862. Shortly
after his graduation from college, he went to New
York and commenced the study of law in the office of
William Curtis Noyes, then a leading member of the
New York bar.

At the completion of his studies in 1846 he was
admitted to practice, having a very good knowledge
of the French language, which he acquired through
living with French people during his law studies in
New York, and also some knowledge of Spanish.
His early clients were among the foreigners speaking
those languages and those manufacturers from Connec-
ticut with whom he had an early acquaintance. He
was successful from the outset.

He took a great interest in educational questions
and was elected in the early fifties a school trustee for
the district in which he lived, and subsequently became
president of the Board of Education in the City of
New York. At that time there was a great deal of
feeling over the methods heretofore pursued in the
public schools, and he was instrumental in bringing
about a great reform. He took an active part in
politics on the Democratic side and was elected to
office in the Board of Education as a member of that
political party. He declined nominations for both
branches of the Legislature, and at the close of the
Civil War was found among those independent Demo-
crats who were opposed to the ruling faction of the
party then represented by William M. Tweed.

At the Democratic Convention in Syracuse in the
summer of 1871, he was selected as a spokesman for
the opposition and amid great excitement presented
the protest and made a stirring address. In the
autumn of that year he was nominated by the inde-
pendent Democrats for the office of judge of the

389

Superior Court in the City of New York, thereafter
consolidated with the Supreme Court, and was elected
by a very large majority, taking his seat on the bench
January first, 1872. In 1876 he was elected by his
colleagues chief justice of that Court, an office he
held until his death on the sixth of July, 1880.

Judge Curtis was a broad-minded, liberal man in
his views on civic affairs and was actively interested
in various societies and other organizations carrying
on educational and other activities for the advantage
of civil society.

He was a member of the Historical Society, in
which he took an especial interest, and was also a
fellow of the American Geographical Society. He
was an early member of the Century Club and one of
its trustees, and was very active in establishing the
Academy of Design, which for many years was at the
corner of Twenty-Third Street and Fourth Avenue,
New York City. He had a large acquaintance among
artists and literary men.

In the affairs of the Episcopal Church, of which he
was a member by inheritance from preceding genera-
tions, he took a great interest. Having made a careful
study of the ecclesiastical law, he became one of the
counsel in several notable ecclesiastical trials. He was
a member of St. George's Church on Stuyvesant Square
and was a vestryman there at the time of his death.

His first professional association was a partnership
with the Hon. Samuel A. Foot, a connection by mar-
riage, who afterwards became chief justice of the
Court of Appeals in the State of New York. Sub-
sequently he formed a partnership with Messrs.
William P. Powers and James S. Stearns which was
terminated by his elevation to the bench.

Owing to his practice among foreigners, he gave
very considerable attention to questions of inter-

390

national law, and was looked upon as one of the author-
ities on that subject. His knowledge of the French
language allowed him to make an argument in a case
in which he was interested in France where he was
invited by the Court to speak on behalf of his client.

In these days of constant movement in our country,
it is interesting to note that Judge Curtis died in the
room in which he was born, in the house in which his
father began housekeeping, and which is still retained
by the family at Watertown, Connecticut. He was
a man of strong character and of fine presence, being
over six feet in height, broad in proportion, with a
large head and high forehead. His manner of deliver-
ing opinions was impressive, and at the time of his
death a large memorial meeting of the bar was held
in the Court House. Many of the speakers especially
dwelt upon his uniform courtesy to the members of
the bar and the dignity with which he presided on the
bench. He wrote opinions in many important cases
and had a very clear and concise method of statement
both of fact and of law. His death was caused by
overwork, which produced nervous exhaustion. Two
of his colleagues were prevented by illness from doing
their share of the work during the winter and spring,
and in order that they should not be compelled to
resign and forfeit their salaries he and the other mem-
bers of the Court agreed to do their work. It proved
too much for him. After having closed the June
term of the Court in the last week of that month, he
went to Watertown for his summer vacation, and
after several days of hard work on cases the papers
in which he had brought with him for examination,
he was taken suddenly ill and died within forty-
eight hours, after the first attack of nervous pros-
tration. He was survived by his wife and by all his
children.

ZZ%. William Henry^ Scovill {William Henry^,
James^, James^, William}, John,'^ John}), born Jan. 7,
1842, at Waterbury; died Dec. 9, 1914, at Hudson,
N. Y.; married Jan. 13, 1863, at Kinderhook, N. Y.,
Elizabeth Whiting, born Aug. 15, 1842, at Kinder-
hook; daughter of John Lucas and Cornelia (Barnard)
Whiting of Kinderhook, and granddaughter of Judge
Robert A. Barnard of Hudson, N. Y.

William Henry Scovill was educated at private
schools and at Geneva, Switzerland. He returned
to this country just before the Civil War. He enlisted
in the famous Seventh Regiment of New York City.
Afterwards he matriculated at Bellevue Medical Col-
lege. Immediately after his marriage he was appointed
a medical cadet at the United States General Hospital
at New Haven, Connecticut. On leaving New Haven
he resided for a few years in New York, Brooklyn,
and Tarry town. In 1871 he removed to Hudson,
N. Y., where he resided until his death, leading, —

392

to use his own words, — "a quiet, uneventful life."
He was a member of all the Masonic societies and also
of Mecca Temple, order of the Mystic Shrine of New
York City, and of the Grand Army of the Republic.
He was senior warden of Christ Church at Hudson,
and a generous contributor to all its charities, doing
great good in many ways, anxious only that no one
should know of his unbounded kindnesses. He loved
his home life and the home circle, his books and his
friends. Courteous and genial, he was the ideal host
and happiest when surrounded by those dearest to
him. He took a keen interest in those things that
interested those younger than he and was always
ready with a warm welcome at his own hearthstone.
Public life had no charm for him and he refused many
offers of political preferment, but he was a keen student
of public affairs, a close reader, and a logical thinker.
Few men in public life were better posted on affairs
at home or abroad and conversation with him was a
broad and liberal education.

The vestry of Christ Church of Hudson, of which
Mr. Scovill was long a member, placed on record this
recognition : —

"In the death of William H. Scovill the parish
of Christ Church has suffered a great loss. For many
years a vestryman and warden, he cheerfully, gener-
ously, and efficiently devoted his best energies to the
upbuilding of the parish, and to the care of its proper-
ties. No appeal for financial help was ever refused;
no call for service disregarded. His loyalty and
devotion were his marked characteristics, and these
qualities, united with a courtesy and a sympathetic
friendliness, made him a strong force on the
vestry.

*'As a faithful steward, his place will be difficult
to fill; as a friend, we deeply deplore his death.

393

"To his widow and children the vestry extends
its heartfelt sympathy."

His funeral was largely attended at his late home
in Hudson by members of the Masonic fraternity,
the vestrymen of Christ Church, representatives of
financial circles, of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and by many old-time friends from the city and out

of town.

Davies, born Feb. 28, 1823, at New Haven; died June
14, 1897, at Santa Cruz, Cal.; son of Rev. Thomas
and Julia (Sanford) Davies.

Mrs. Davies was a woman of unusually sweet
disposition, who endeared herself not only to her
immediate family, but to a large circle of friends. She
had a deep and sincere religious nature and as a com-
municant was deeply interested in the benevolent
organizations of Calvary Church, Santa Cruz, where
she had resided about sixteen years. Mrs. Davies
was endowed with high aspirations and was able to
impress them not only upon those whom she lovingly
trained from childhood, but upon others also who
were brought into intimate relations with her.

Thomas Lamson Scovill left Waterbury when a
young man and went to New York where he was
employed for many years in the sales department
of the New York office of the Scovill Manufacturing
Company. After a long service there, his health
becoming somewhat impaired, he retired from active
business and resided at New Haven, Connecticut, where
he continued until his death. He was one of the early
members of the Union League of that city, and at
one time was secretary of the American Yacht Club
of Rye, N. Y. He was also a member of the New
York Stock Exchange. He was a man of erect and
dignified bearing, and of pleasant and social disposi-
tion, and was greatly loved and respected by all who
knew him. Some weeks before his death he underwent
a slight operation, from which he seemed to be fully
recovered. He had been confined to the house for a
few days with a sprained ankle, but was otherwise as
well as usual when he was attacked by angina pectoris.
The attack did not seem at first very severe, but the
same night he became suddenly worse, and, falling
into unconsciousness, passed away peacefully without
apparent suffering.

111., Nancy Davis, born Jan. 28, 1857, in Washington
County, Indiana; daughter of Chester Powers and
Hettie Maria (Close) Davis of Monticello, 111.

Melville Amasa Scovell graduated from the Uni-
versity of Illinois in 1875. He was first an instructor
of chemistry in his alma mater, then an assistant
professor and professor of agricultural chemistry
between the years 1875 and 1884. His Master's
degree and Doctor of Philosophy degree came from
his alma mater. For a year he was a special agent
for the United States Department of Agriculture. He
was a pioneer and a leading spirit in the development
of the sugar industry in America and contributed
greatly to the unification and simplification of methods
for the analysis of commercial fertilizers and to the
enactment of just laws regulating their sale and dis-
tribution. With Dr. Wiley of Washington, he was
intimately and helpfully associated in those investiga-
tions that resulted finally in the enactment of national
and state pure food laws. His name has been a terror
to the adulterators of food products in Kentucky.

439

In 1885 his services were secured as director of the
experiment station in the State University of Ken-
tucky, which position he held for twenty-seven years.
Two years ago he was made dean of the College of
Agriculture of the State University of Kentucky,
and during that short period so reorganized that
college as to greatly enhance its efficiency and more
than double the roster of its student body.

Professor Scovell first came into prominence in the
live stock world as chairm.an of the committee of
scientists and practical dairymen which had in charge
the dairy test at the Columbian Exposition in 1893.
Since then he has been a commanding figure in
scientific and practical dairying and dairy cattle
breeding. He was the best known and best liked
judge of dairy cattle in America.

As an executive Professor Scovell displayed genius
of a high order. As an administrator of the fertilizer
and pure food laws of Kentucky, no less than as an
organizer of the experiment station force, and later
of the college faculty, he evinced a genius which would
have won him a fortune in the commercial walks of
life. In the legislative act creating a State Fair
Board, it was ordered that it should consist of a certain
number of men, "of which M. A. Scovell shall be one."
His interest and industry transcended the college
campus. The Fayette Home Telephone Company
declared: "The success of this company, in the face
of great obstacles, is to a large extent due to his inter-
est, his wisdom, and rare business judgment." The
Lexington Park Commission declared: "His interest
and zeal for park development in this city was measured
only by his strength and intellectual attainments,
for he gave to this w^ork the best of which he was
capable." The directors of the Phoenix and Third
National Bank gave expression to their "full apprecia-

440

tion of his business capacity, his moral worth, his
conspicuous integrity, and the intelHgent and disin-
terested devotion with which he served as director
of this bank for many years."

Dr. Scovell was a member of and prominent in
practically every well known state, national, and
international agricultural, chemical, and live stock
organization, as well as a member of many widely
known educational societies of a higher order. He was
a former president of the American Association of
Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations and of
the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, a
former member of the Kentucky State Fair Committee,
and chairman of the Official Dairy Test at the World's
Columbian Exposition, Chicago, in 1893, and was a
member of the following other national and inter-
national organizations: American Association of Agri-
cultural Science, the Society of Chemical Industry,
London, the Society for Promotion of Agricultural
Science, the American Chemical Society, the American
Breeders' Association, and the American Society of
Academic, Political, and Social Science.

His personal qualities were such as made all men
his loyal friends, and his associates and students w^ere
deeply attached to him. Modesty, inflexible integrity,
sweetness of spirit, were his characteristics. The city
of Lexington and the state of Kentucky owed him a
great service for a life spent freely in their behalf, and
felt his loss as a calamity.

Unconnected Families

It has been impossible to fit into any of the lines so
far discovered the following families, but there is good
reason to think that they are descendants of John
Scovell of Farmington, Waterbury, and Haddam.

I. 1. A Mr. Scovill, born about 1765; died about

1804 or 1805; married about 1796 Temperance ,

born about 1766; died June 10, 1813, aged 47 years.
Family tradition asserts that this Mr. Scovill was lost
at sea in a storm. His granddaughter, Mrs. T. S.
Capen of Norwich, Connecticut, declared in 1896 that
her father, Erastus Scovill, had told her so. In 1806
Temperance Scovill, widow, of Haddam, sold seven
acres of land in Haddam, which was bounded on all
sides by land of Shailers, and hence it is possible to
conjecture that she was a Shailer by birth. Tem-
perance, daughter of Timothy (4) and Temperance
(Southworth) Shailer was born at Haddam, May 31,
1767, and her age agrees very closely with that of the
widow Scovill at her death. However, it is declared
that this Temperance Shailer married in 1787 Joseph
Dickinson. Mrs. Scovill married second Aug. 12,
1811, Calvin Thomas of Haddam. If this Scovill is
not accepted as a descendant of John (1) Scovell, he
must be placed among the descendants of Arthur (1)
Scovell, probably from those who lived in that part
of Essex which is now Centerbrook. The children
were separated so early from their home and parents
that they had no knowledge of their parentage.

Children born at Haddam.
2. i. Erastus, born Nov. 30, 1798; married Phoebe Sawyer.
ii. Temperance, born in 1797 (?); died Dec. 6, 1815,

David D. Field.)

iii. Russell, born ; said to have died unmarried.

On Feb. 10, 1823, Erastus and Russell Scovill conveyed
to Julius Scovill land in Haddam. (Haddam Land
Records, vol. 20, page 200.)
iv. Matthew, born about 1804; married Aug. 10, 1826,

IV. 1. William! Scoville, born Oct. 28, 1821;
died June 30, 1900, at Norfolk, Connecticut; married
Dec, 1843, Lucy Ann Heady, daughter of John and
Sarah Heady of Norfolk.

Family tradition declares that this William Scoville
was born at New Haven; that the boy's father was a
tailor or clothier, and was drowned when his son was
young, and that his mother's name was Sperry and
that the boy had an uncle Stephen Scovill. If this
tradition is genuine, it proves that this William was
the son of William (See No. 105) and Dorcas (Sperry)
Scovill of Durham, N. Y., and New Haven. Yet
New Haven records and gravestone appear to indicate
that William, son of William and Dorcas, died at
New Haven, in 1866, aged 44 years and unmarried.
There is an error of some kind here, which it has been
impossible to correct.

William Scoville was brought up at Northfield,
Connecticut, and enlisted in Company F, Second
Regiment of Connecticut Heavy Artillery, in Decem-
ber, 1863, and was mustered out August, 1865. He
was a carpenter by trade, and did cabinetmaking and
repairing at his shop in Norfolk.

2. George W.^ Scoville (William^), born April
10, 1845, at Norfolk; died there in 1912; married Nov.
22, 1869, at Darien, Anna Mather Dayton of Stam-
ford. She died at Norfolk, Sept., 1910.

George W. Scoville was educated in the public
schools of Norfolk. In Dec, 1863, he enlisted in the
same regiment with his father, in Company F, Second
Regiment of Heavy Artillery, and he served until the
end of war; mustered out with the regiment in August,
1865. He was present at the battles of Spottsylvania
and Cold Harbor, and at the siege of Petersburg.
He was with Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley and
at the battle of Winchester. After the war he re-
turned to Norfolk; also attended a business college
at Bridgeport. He then learned the carpenter's trade
and followed it for ten years at Darien. In 1876,
he returned to Norfolk, and after that date was in
business as manufacturer and repairer of furniture,
upholsterer, and undertaker. He was a member of
the Masonic order and of the Congregational Church.

V. 1. William Scovill, born about 1770 of
parents unknown, died at Middletown, Connecticut,
Dec. 24, 1858, aged 88 years; married Jan. 1, 1798
(recorded in records of First Church of Middletown),
Rebecca Gage.

William Scovill must have settled in Middletown
soon after his majority. In 1808 he was living on
Main Street in that place and was then or afterwards
the owner of considerable real estate.

Children born at Middletown.
i. Henry, born about 1803. "Died at Bridgeport,
Conn., about Aug. 20, 1825, Henry Scovil aged 22,
son of Capt. William Scovil of Middletown, Conn."
(Newspaper of the period.)
ii. Mary Ann, born about 1805; died at Middletown,
Oct. 1, 1885, aged 80 years, 1 month, and 21 days,
unmarried,
iii. Charles M., born about 1808; died May 27, 1881, at
Middletown, Conn., aged 72 years, 9 months and
12 days. A bookkeeper, unmarried.

VI. William Scovill, born March 10, 1804, in
Middletown; died May 30, 1841, at Plymouth,
but was re-interred Sept. 26, 1856, in Riverside Ceme-
tery, Waterbury; married Nov. 20, 1828, Nancy Cook,
daughter of Joseph and Anna Cook, born Nov. 16,
1801; died Jan. 24, 1868, and was buried in Riverside
Cemetery at Waterbury.

It is not certain that this William Scovill was the
son of William and Rebecca (Gage) Scovill of Middle-
town. One who was twelve years old when William
died says that he had no brother or sister. He was
a clock maker, and came to Waterbury from Plymouth,
Connecticut, about 1830; married in Waterbury but
returned to Plymouth. He may have been the William
Scovill who settled Percy Scovill's estate at Plymouth
in 1839. They may have been brothers. No children.

VII. Harriet E., Scovill, born Oct. 7, 1813, at
Waterbury, Connecticut; died Aug. 15, 1882, at
Vernon, Trumbull County, Ohio; married Oct. 13,
1831, at Vernon, Eber Banning Clark, born in Con-
necticut. One record states that he was born June
18, 1812, at Granby, Connecticut. In a Bible which
belonged to Mrs. Wealthyann (Holcomb) Clark, mother
of Eber B. Clark, it is recorded that her son Eber was
born in Hartland, Connecticut, June 16, 1811, and
that he died at Vernon, O., Aug. 30, 1882, aged 71
years. The second record is probably the correct one.
Eber B. and Harriet (Scovill) Clark resided at
Vernon, Trumbull County, Ohio, where he was a
farmer.

Children born at Vernon, Ohio.
i. Lucy H., born Oct. 28, 1832; married Sept. 17, 1854, at
Pymatuning, Pa., Augustus H. Hyde, born July 9,
1824, at Vernon, O. She died at Pymatuning. No
children,

Vernon, O.; married Jan. 1, 1856, at Vernon, William
Kelly. No children.
iii. Sylvester Henry, born April 10, 1840; died at Vernon, O.,
Feb. 29, 1912; married Oct. 10, 1861, at Adamsville,
Pa., Rhoda Miner. She is dead. Children: Almina L.,
born Oct. 18, 1862, at Vernon, O.; died Nov. 22, 1865;
Eber Banning, born Dec. 22, 1864, at Vernon, O. He
was living at Champion, Trumbull County, O., in 1912.

There is no evidence that William, Duke of Nor-
mandy, had any vassal named Scoville when he invaded
England or at any later time. Nevertheless the Nor-
man origin of Ralph de Scoville of Turweston should
not be doubted. As a knight of the Norman lord,
Roger de la Zouche, he held a relation to his overlord
which only a Norman could hold.

There are two families in England, contemporary
with the Scovilles, having surnames similar to theirs.
One is Escorcheveille (see footnote, page 19) ; the
other is Scobbihull. The latter name in the seven-
teenth century was spelled Scobble, Scoble, or Scobell.
Mr. Hoppin holds that the Scobells and the Scovilles
are distinct. The writer once believed that the emi-
grants, John and Arthur Scovell, could have sprung
from the Scobells. He has abandoned this theory, but
inserts here the Scobell records he obtained, not as
Scoville history, but in order to preserve them.

Plymouth in Devonshire was an important port
of departure for shipping on the voyage to New Eng-
land. A large and important colony left this port in
1630 and settled at Dorchester in New England, and
many of them later settled at Windsor, Connecticut.
It is natural and reasonable to suppose that later
emigrations from Devonshire to New England followed
a like route. That at least one man named John
Scobell did so is a fact of record. Thomas Lechford,
an early lawyer at Boston (Lechford 's Note Book,
pages 190-1 of the MS., page 342 of the printed vol-
ume), mentions a man named John Scobell, a car-
penter living at Boston and Dorchester, who brought
suit against John Holland of Dorchester for retaining
wages alleged to be due to him. The whole passage

497

is too long to quote in full here. There is no evidence
in Lechford's Notes to prove that this John Scobell
had or did not have a family in New England or any-
where; the records of Dorchester and of Boston do not
mention him. His later history is unknown. But
it remains a fact that he was in New England in 1639
or 1640.

Such records of the Devonshire family as the
writer has been able to obtain are here submitted.
Some 66 wills and administrations under the name
Scobble, Scoble, Scobell (variant spellings) have been
found. The persons concerned lived in the parishes
of Harford, Plimpton Morris, North Huish, Plym-
outh, Plimpton Mary, East Allington, Salcombe,
Stokenham, Slapton, Dipford, Holne, Egbuckland,
Buckland Monachorum, Walkhampton, Bereferris,
Meavey, Tavistock, Lamerton, Listleigh, Woodley,
Dartington, Dean Prior, Bigbury, Revelstock, and
Halwell. The dates of these wills and administrations
run from 1598 to 1700. Some of these parishes have
registers extant from the sixteenth century. A great
amount of work in addition to what has been done
will be necessary to obtain all the evidence that the
records here mentioned contain.

These wills, with the exception of those marked P. C. C.,
which are at London, are on record or file in the various Arch-
deaconry Courts of Devon, at Exeter, Totnes, Tavistock, etc.,
but it should be noted that there are no Scoble or Scobell wills

502

on record in the Archdeaconry Court of Barnstaple, which
comprises all the northwestern part of the county of Devon.
From this it is to be inferred that the residence of Scobles in
this part of the county was of comparatively short duration.

Tawton is probably Bishops Tawton, a place near Barnstaple,
and Newporte is a hamlet in the parish of Barnstaple. The
register of Tawton dates from 1558; it has been searched from
1620 to 1690 only, and this search yielded only: —

Henry Baker and Elizabeth Scobble married Sept. 29, 1629.

In 1647 an epidemic of the plague visited Barnstaple and

vicinity. There was a general exodus of the population from

the parish, and this may be the reason why there are no later

Scobble entries on the registers.

1639. The xix day of May was baptized Arthure the son

At Barnstaple, Devonshire, is an old book of the "seating
of the meeting house" there from 1642. The town clerk reports
that the name of Scoble does not occur in it.

The registers of Buckland Monachorum contain numerous
Scoble entries from 1543 onward, and so do most of the parishes
named in the foregoing Scoble wills, but they have not been
searched thoroughly. It seems more than probable that in
these wills and registers that we have found the family of John
Scobell of Lechford's Note Book.

It was not the intention to include the descendants
of Arthur Scovell of Boston, Mass., and Middletown
and Lyme, Conn., in this volume, but it has been
thought desirable to give a list of articles already
in print concerning Arthur Scovell and his descendants
and a very condensed account of his posterity. The
printed genealogies are but partial. They are: —

The following additional facts concerning William Scovell
of Iwerne Minster have been supplied by Mr. Hoppin since
the completion of his article on the Scovilles of Wessex.
They arrived too late to be inserted in their proper place,
which is on page 84. Mr. Hoppin writes: "Since I ceased
searching for Scoville data there has become available here
Protestation Records in the House of Lords. These records
are of all males of 18 and upwards who took the oath of alle-
giance to the Parliament and against Popery in 1641-2. This
oath had no connection with em.igration. Nearly all men who
were not absent from home at the time it was called for, took
the oath, some recusants included who preferred to save trouble.
Many men were absent at sea at the time and their names do
not appear. I suspect that the call for the oath was a scheme
to make a list of the men able to bear arms, although it appears
under another guise; but there was no age limit to the takers
of the oath above 18. I never found anything to indicate that
William Scovell (uncle of Richard who married Mary Cooke)
married. He was last recorded at Iwerne in 1642 (as in my
account). I find him in the Protestation Report for Dorset,
under Sutton Waldron one mile from Iwerne church. He was
taxed on land or goods (cattle, sheep, etc.) at Iwerne in 1642.
The item in Protestation Report reads: 'Sutton Waldren.
Willmi Scovell, constable.' I now think that he married and
had sons William and John, as I find in Protestation Report
that another William was constable at Todbere, four and one-
half miles northwest of Sutton Waldron, in 1641-2 (unless both
items refer to one man). The item reads: 'Todberr. Willm
Scovell constable of the Hundred of Redlane.' These two
items certainly mean father and son, or one man. I suspect it
is father and son, as the distinctions of locality are so plain.
There are no vital records at Sutton Waldron before 1675 and
none at Todbere before 1653. What there may be, possibly,
after these dates, I do not yet know. As to the probable son
John, I find him in Protestation Record as a man of 18 or more
in 1641, living at Tarrant Hinton close on the other side of
Iwerne and Sutton Waldron, from Todbere. The record
reads: 'Tarrant Hinton, John Scovell.' I place these men as
sons of the said William. This John of Tarrant Hinton could

513

not have been the emigrant. I have searched the baptisms,
marriages and burials of Tarrant Hinton from 1550 to 1700.
The name of Scoville does not occur in them. The names in
the Protestation Report were written down by a clerk. There
are several towns in Dorset in whose names 'Tarrant' forms a
part. This does not mean that they ever formed a part of a
larger town, but simply implies that the Tarrant River flows
through some part of each of them. Likewise, Sturminster
Marshall and Sturminster Newton were so named because they
are on the Stour River, though twenty-five miles apart. I do
not consider that the foregoing data alter, in any way, any of
my former conclusions, — other than as adding something that
must be placed in connection with the said William. The
Protestation Report gives at Blandford the John Scovile who
is named in my article as taxed at Turnworth adjoining Bland-
ford."

When I received this letter from Mr. Hoppin, I requested
him to obtain all possible information of these Scovells of Sutton
Waldron, Todbere, and Tarrant Hinton. He did so, but the
results are meager because records of all kinds are wanting.
He has done far more than he was under obligation to do, and
no blame can fairly be attached to him. Indeed his work should
receive the grateful recognition of all descendants of the Scoville
emigrants, John and Arthur, for he has revealed all that is ever
likely to be revealed of the Scoville family in England from which
they derived. I was and am still of the opinion that it is more
probable that the emigrant Scovilles derived in some way, not
now discoverable, from these Scovells of Sutton Waldron,
Todbere or Tarrant Hinton, rather than from Richard and Mary
(Cooke) Scovell of Shapwick, who were married in 1634. The
main ground for my opinion is that among the Scovells of these
three parishes, and among these only, occur the Christian
names William and John, which recur among the early
generations of Scovilles in America. Both Mr. Hoppin and
myself are obliged to resort to conjecture for the immediate
parentage of the emigrants, — no records being available, — but
it is worthy of note that both views make the emigrants descend
from Robert Scoville of Whole Place in Shapwick.

Mr. Hoppin writes under date of Oct. 20, 1915 : " I considered
the vital records of Sutton Waldron very important after
1678. [Earlier records are lost.] They have been searched
to 1725. No Scovell in them. There may be Scovell entries
at Todbere after 1650 [earlier records are lost], but they are
too late to be of any help. Tarrant Hinton has been searched
completely."

514

" I have traced out the various owners of the several Dorset
manors in which we are most interested, and have determined
that none of them have or know of any manor court rolls before
1 720. I have made a full investigation as to bishop's transcripts
[of the vital records sent from the parishes year by year to the
bishop's record office], and find that none exist. They were
kept at the Archdeacon's place in Blandford, and were, for
many parishes, all destroyed in the great fire of Blandford. I
have searched all existing records of taxation, and have tried
to get access to the books of the Tax Commissioners of the
Blandford district and the Shaftesbury district. These records
are not open to public inspection. They are supposed to begin
about 1685, and if preserved for that period, are in each local
district. I have learned that in many districts the old books
are not extant. The two districts named fail to respond to
repeated inquiries as to whether they have or have not the early
books. In such cases it is proper to assume that the clerks of
the Commissioners do not know."

"The Gloucester Scovells having resided on the border of
Wiltshire, I have searched the nineteen probate courts of Wilt-
shire. [These probate records yielded little or nothing new.J
I have tested Fordingbridge, Hampshire, as to manor court
rolls, local tax rolls, and lay subsidies. Nothing is known to
exist of the first two named records for any period of value.
The lay subsidies for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight were
searched, and but two Scovells were found, John of Godshill
(Hampshire) and Richard of Arreton. These were taxed on
hearths in 16-17 Charles II (1665-6), but not on lands or goods."
[John of Godshill has been mentioned among the Scovells of
Hampshire in Chapter Two of this book. Richard of Arreton
is probably too late to have been father or brother of the
emigrants.]

"The Protestation Rolls for Hampshire 1641-2 are all missing
save for the city of Southampton. No Scovells there."

"From time to time new discoveries are made here of old
records. Something may 'turn up' some day. But I am of
the opinion that we have gone as far as any one has any right
or good reason to expect; and that we have come about as
near to the origin in England of the New England Scovells as
we are likely ever to get. I must leave things just about where
I have left them."

Lay Subsidy Roll 245-23, Dorset. Undated but officially
queried as of "13 Charles II," (1662),

"A lyst of the benevolence for the Ty thing of Sutton
Waldron in Redlane Hundred,"

515

[Twenty-five names follow; the eighteenth is William
Scovell, but it is crossed out in the same ink, and is just
barely legible.]

At the bottom appears: "the whole summe is one pound
seaven shillings two pence, William Scovell Constable."
This sentence is in the hand of William Scovell. He evidently
had his tax abated because he was constable. This William
may be either of the two Williams in the Protestation Roll,
although Sutton W^aldron is much nearer to Iwerne than to
Todbere. Iwerne Courtney, adjoining Iwerne Minster, is also
called Shroton.

Lay Subsidy Roil 105-346 is composed of fragments of
various rolls all supposed to be of date about 1660. Twenty
names appear for Tarrant Hinton. No Scoville.

The following should have been included among the Scobell
Wills, pages 498 to 502:—

Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Scroope 59. 1630. Will
of John Scoble of Plymouth, Devon, merchant. (Abstract.)

To poore of Plymouth 18 pence weekly in bread during the
life of my wife. To Elizabeth Scoble, my wife, all lands and
tenements in counties of Devon and Cornwall, for her life, then
to John Cole, the younger, son of John Cole the elder, son and
heir apparent of John Cole of Wichampton, Dorsett, Esq., my
Sonne in law in default of issue to Laurence Cole brother of
John, or to Thomas Cole, or to Johan wife of the said John Cole
the elder, my daughter.

To my Sonne in lawe John Cole £100, and to his wife, my
daughter, £200. To Elizabeth Cole, their daughter, £300, and
to Anne and Johan their daughters £200 each.

To Margery Cole 40 shillings; to my sister Margaret Skranch
£30; to my sister Mary King of London £20; to my sister
Dennis £5.

To Elizabeth Scoble daughter of Athanasius Scoble £40.
Residue to wife Elizabeth, executrix. Hand and seale 18 Dec.
1629.

Proved 11 June 1630. John Scoble.

This will proves that the widow of this testator went to
Wichampton, Dorset, because her daughter Johanna had
married John Cole of that place. Her will was proved in the
sam.e court Jan. 6, 1632. Register Audley, folio I.

In Wichampton Church is a tablet to the memory of "Mrs.
Elizabeth Scobell, the mother of Mrs. Johanna Cole, who,
having lived a godly life, died on the 9th day of October 1631,
being at the age of Ixii years." Data furnished by C. A. Hoppin.

516

Protestation Records, House of Lords, London, yield some
Scobles. All the parishes named are in Devonshire.

Staverton, Philip Scobble.

Churston (Galmpton), "At sea Henery Scobble."

Barnstaple, No Scoble.

Woodleigh, Jeffery Scoble.

Slapton, Andrew Scoble.

Slapton, William Scoble.

East AUington, John Scoble, Constable;

Tho. Scoble; Arthur Scoble; "Pho" (?) Scoble; Walt(er)
Scoble; Benedict Scoble; John Scoble; John Scoble (two
distinct persons).

There are at East AUington between 1620-50 about 18
Scoble baptisms, 4 marriages and 9 burials.

Vie du R. P. Philippe de Scoville de la Compagnie de
J6sus par le P. Alexandre Provost de la m€me Compagnie.
Imprimerie de Pierre Bruck, Editeur, Luxembourg. 1866.

(Frontispiece) Portrait of the subject. He was born at
Champion, prds Marche, Belgique, Nov. 22, 1622, and died at
Luxembourg 17 Nov. 1701. The frontispiece bears the coat
of arms of his family granted in 1694. This bearing (nor the
Scoville family) is not given in the great heraldic authority
(Seibmacher' s Wappenbuch), for Europe, and not in the volume
thereof devoted to Luxembourg family heraldry; nor is it, or
the Scoville family, named in Rietstap's Armorial Generate.

A note follows stating (in French) that the publication of the
book was approved by "C. Crespelle, S. J. Praep. Prov. Belgicae"
under date of "Namurci 12 Novembris, 1865"; also a similar
note dated Luxembourg 8 Dec. 1865 by "Nicolaus, Episc.
Halicarnassen, vicar apost. Luxemburgen."

The preface gives nothing of interest to us. It is signed:
"A. Provost de la Compagnie de J6sus. Arlon, le jour de la
f^te de la Nativity de la Vierge, 8 September 1865."

The introduction deals with the Society of Jesus.

Chapter one consists of nine pages. It is entitled: "Origine
et formation du P. Scouville," with the sub-title "La famille
de Scouville." Although I am not proficient in French, I could
easily understand it, and I have no difficulty in determining
that this promising title of "La famille de Scouville" is not
borne out by what follows it, in a manner that will give any
support whatever for the theory that has arisen via Mrs. Scovell,
whose comprehension of the contents of the book is evidently
very vague. The only mention of the place of Scouville is as
follows (paragraph 2): "Scouville." "Nous ne pouvons com-

517

prendre pourquelle raison M. Neyen en sa biographie
Luxembourgeoise, p. 128, donne Schouweiler comme synonyme
de Scouville. Le village de Schouweiler pr^s de Sprinkingen
dans le Grand-Duche de Luxembourg, d^canat de Koerich,
peut fort bien, nous le croyons, avoir la m^me etymologie que
celui de Scouville, mais a part le nom, ces deux localit^s n'ont
rien de commun. Scouville est un hameau de la commune de
Mohiville et a toujours fait partie de la paroisse de son chef-lieu;
jadis du district de Poilvache, il appartient aujourd'hui a
I'arrondissement de Dinant, province de Namur," "C'est de
IeI que les Scouvilles tirent leur nom et leur extraction."

The only words in the entire book referring to the origin
of the surname are these, in the casual reference, unsupported,
and made without authority, and made by a person not versed
in genealogy, and who, it is clear, had no knowledge of the
medieval Scovilles in either Belgium, France, or England. It
is very clear that the author, Provost, bases that assertion solely
on the presence of the preposition "de" preceding the name
"Scouville" as written by the subject of the memoir, and as
found of record in the seventeenth century in the names of persons
more or less related to the subject of the memoir. We need
not go to the extent of assuming that in the absence of any
evidence of Scouvilles in eastern Belgium before 1557, the
Scouvilles therein after 1557 derived from Normandy; but
that assumption is much more possible than that any Scouvilles
of eastern Belgium ever became Norman lords in England as
early as 1100; and how can we possibly doubt that there were
such Norman Scoville lords in England about that time, if not
actually from the year of the conquest, 1066?

Chapter I (page 26) continues: "Le premier personnage
parvenu ^ notre connaissance est Gilson de Scouville, mort en
1605. II est cit6 parmi les 6chevins de la haute cour et ban
de Marche, et Ton saura que dans la liste de ces magistrats qui
existe pour plusieurs si^cles on ne rencontre que les noms de
haute lignee." (Footnote: "Notice sur la famille d'Ochain
par M. Geubel dans les annales de la Societe hist. d'Arlon,
page 95.) "Gilson avait 6pous6 en premieres noces, I'an 1547,
Isabeau de Marenne, et en secondes noces, I'an 1559, Idelette
d'Orchimont. Ces deux alliances 6taient distingu^es, la famille
d'Orchimont en particulier se plagait au premier rang des maisons
de la province et 6tait alli^e a famille d'Ochain, la plus illustre
et la plus ancienne du pays de Marche, issue d'apres la tradition,
des anciens dues de Normandie."

Casual references are made to sons of the said Gilson de
Scouville, one of whom, "Jean or Gilles," was a "Lieutenant-

518

pr^vot 1608-1654 and a magistrate, who had a son Gilles. Both
men married in the gentry or nobility of Luxembourg and
Lorraine. The latter, Gilles, was the father of Philippe Scouville,
the priest. The lieutenant was personal advocate of Charles
IV of Lorraine. I find nothing more in the book except an
account of the life of the priest and of the Society of Jesus.
The book has 348 pages, but no index. I have examined each
page. I have also examined several volumes of the work of
M. Geubel (the aforesaid) and in vol. 4 I find the account of the
"famille d'Orchain." It is not indexed, but I have gone through
it page by page, and found no reference to any Scouville. The
earliest d'Orchain named is in the form of a monumental
inscription dated 1487, of a d'Orchain who died in Luxembourg
province, and near Champion. These localities are close to the
German border.

I find on page 255 the reference to the grant of the coat-of-
arms (aforesaid) in 1694, viz.: "Armes. D'azur a la fasce
d'argent chargee d'un ecusson du m^me a quatre bandes de
sable. Le due de Lorraine, Charles II, par lettres patentes du
31 Mai 1694, octroya a Gilles de Scouville de porter: Parti
d'azur a la fasce d'argent chargee d'un 6cusson d'argent k trois
bandes de sable, qui est de Scouville, et d'azur a deux leopards
dormis I'un sur 1' autre et une t^te de brochet entre deux issaute
en face de la droite, qui est de Bichet. Timbre: une ttte de
chien d'argent accoll6 d'or." In which is added a note that
some of the family became magistrates at Marche and Luxem-
bourg, and that some were living near Li^ge in the 18th and
early 19th centuries. Thus the Scoville arms in England
appear to long antedate the above arms; and the early eminence
of the English Scovilles is, I have no doubt, far beyond any
assumed Scouvilles of Luxembourg before 1557.

C. A. HOPPIN.

See page 178. George Nichols, Captain of the Sixth
Company, Independent Regiment in 1759, father of Amy
Nichols, wife of the Reverend James Scovil, came to Waterbury
with his father, Joseph Nichols, from Derby, Connecticut, about
1729. He was born probably on Long Island in 1714 and died
at Waterbury in 1788. His father was a large landholder and
his sons inherited the same taste, owning a very large tract in
the western part of Waterbury, known as Nichols Tract.

George's brother James was a student at Yale College at the
time of his father's death, about 1733.

519

Captain George Nichols was a prominent and active business
man. He built the house, later inherited by his son John
Nichols, about. 1760. This house was the finest house in Water-
bury at that time. He was one of the strong supporters of the
Episcopal church for many years before and after the first list
of members was made in 1748. In 1760 he gave the site for a
building to Christ Church, Watertown. His grandson, John
Nichols, was graduated from Yale College in the class of 1771.
He was rector of Saint Michael's Church in Litchfield from
April 20, 1775, to May, 1784, nearly ten years. He died un-
married at Stafford, N. Y., in 1829.

See page 392, number 338. Mrs. Elizabeth (Whiting)
Scovill, widow of William Henry Scovill of Hudson, N. Y.,
died there August 22, 1915.

A man named Josiah Scovil was taxed in the North Society
of Middletown in the years 1770 to 1776, on a valuation of £18
each year. It is possible that he is identical with Josiah Scovil,
number 42. (See page 213.) If not, he must have been a
descendant of Arthur^ Scovell, although no Josiah has been found
among them, living and of age at the period named. In case
he is such a descendant, the military services in the French and
Indian War attributed to Josiah Scovil (No. 42) probably belong
to the Middletown Josiah Scovil.

A man named Stephen Scoval was taxed in 1770 in the
Westfield Society of Middletown. He is probably identical with
Stephen* Scovell, born March 1, 1728-9, at Middletown (John^
John^, Arthur^), who married April 29, 1756, at Middletown,
North Society, Elizabeth Eggleston. Perhaps the Josiah just
mentioned was a brother of this Stephen. The family of John'
Scovell, father of Stephen just mentioned, by Hannah Cogswell
his wife, was not fully recorded on Middletown records, and
John and Hannah may have had other children than the
Stephen, Ebenezer, and Westall whom the Middletown records
give them.

See pages 156-7. Susannah Scovil, daughter of John Scovil
(No. 12), married Abner Everts of Guilford, Connecticut. He
was probably son of Jeremiah and Jerusha (Blinn) Everts of
East Guilford, now Madison. He removed from East Guilford
to Sunderland, Vermont, where he died March 15, 1796. In

520

1790 he had a family of four, presumably himself, wife, a son and
a daughter, but I have found no mention of his wife or children.
His nephew, Jeremiah Everts, Jr., was born at Sunderland (?),
and was for many years the secretary of the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions at Boston. Abner's uncle,
Josiah Everts, married Feb. 11, 1731, Ann Tyler of Haddam.
A genealogy of the early generations of the Everts family was
published in the New England Historical and Genealogical
Register, vol. Ixi, page 29.

See page 216. Lydia Scovel (No. 45) married Samuel
Banning. No man of this name probably ever lived at Canaan,
Connecticut. Samuel Banning, senior (John^, John^), was
born at Lyme, Connecticut, about 1714 and died at East Hart-
land, Connecticut, April 22, 1803, aged 90. His widow Elenora
died there Sept. 29, 1803. They had removed to Hartland
from Lyme before May 1, 1768, when Mrs. Elenora Banning
was received into the First Church there. Their son Samuel
Banning, junior, was born at Lyme about 1739 and died at
West Hartland Feb. 26, 1815, aged 76. His widow Abigail,
who was probably a Sterling of Lyme, died April 12, 1818, aged
78. "Mrs. Abigail Banning wife to Mr. Samuel Banning Junr
was reed into the church from the church of Lyme, June 4, 1769."
(Record of the First Church of Hartland, now East Hartland.)
Before Jan. 9, 1782, she had become a member of the Second
Church (at West Hartland). It is evident that if it was Samuel
Banning, junior, who married Lydia Scovil on Sept. 13, 1764,
she could not have lived long after her marriage to him. It is
not certain that she bore him any children, but Hannah Banning
who married at Hartland Dec. 16, 1784, Joseph Wilcox of Bark-
hamsted may have been her child, as also Lydia Banning who
married at Hartland Feb. 24, 1799, Sylvester Stevens of Hart-
land, as also Samuel, son of Samuel Banning, who died at
Hartland July 31, 1787, age not stated.

Hannah* Scovill (William^, William^, John}), who married
Oliver Bailey of Haddam, Connecticut, removed with him to
Berkshire County, Mass., perhaps to Great Barrington, about
1797. From there in 1802 they removed to Bradford County,
Pa. Both were buried at Granville in that county. Descend-
ants are living at Troy, Pa.
