INTRODUCTION.
ON the banks of the Connecticut, twenty miles below its last
rapids and forty miles above its mouth, at one of those graceful
bends which the river makes while winding through meadows
which it beautifies and nourishes, stands the ancient town of
Wethersfield, — the eldest born* of the many sweet villages which
adorn this valley. To this spot, then known as Pyquag, the English
colonist first turned his steps in, or prior to, 1635, attracted doubtless
by its fertile soil, its pure and navigable waters, and its supposed
facilities for internal trade in furs and other traffic with the In
dians. And to this spot, one year later, came a portion of that
" goodly company" who left the jurisdiction of Massachusetts
and their newly acquired homesteads and farms in Watertown,
and other settlements in the neighborhood of Boston, in pursuit of
territory " further west," where they might " better maintain
their ministers," " find larger accommodations for their cattle,"
and welcome " more of their friends from England" who were
suffering for the faith once delivered to the Saints. Among those
who voluntarily placed a wilderness of one hundred miles be
tween themselves and the settlements on the coast, and whose
ashes now repose in the burying ground on which the shadow of
the first meeting house fell, we find the names of Nathaniel
Foote,f Samuel Boardman, James Boosey, Enoch Buck, Clement
Chaplin, Leonard Chester, John Deming, Robert Francis, John
* This is the tradition, and the Rev. Mr. Mix, of Wethersfield, in his manuscripts, says, —
" Wethersfield is the eldest town on the river." Trumbull's History of Connecticut, Vol I,
p. 49.
From the Wethersfield Records it appears, that there was a body of land next east to the
home lots on the east side of Broad Street, designated in the first conveyances as " Adven
turers Land," — and from the proceedings of the Court of Magistrates held at Watertown,
[Wethersfield,] September 1, 1636, and November 1, of the same year, that Sargeant Seeley
recovered against the town, on an award, (made by Mr. Hooker, Mr. Welles and Mr. Web
ster,) " one hundred and fifty bushels of corn," in the right of William Bascome, " as an ad
venturer."
From these items, and from the local traditions, it would appear, that a portion of the
territory, prior to a distribution of the town among the settlers in 1636, had been appropri
ated to themselves by a company of men known as Adventurers, and that the rights of
these men were judicially recognized.

Goodrich, William Goodrich, John Hollister, John Nott, John
Robbins, John Stoddard, Richard Treat, Thomas Welles, Thomas

friends of civil and religious freedom, should hold in everlasting re
membrance. Some of their descendants, from generation to gene
ration, have continued to reside on their ancestral farms, and in the
old town,* whilst others early left the mother hive for land "still
further west," until some of the same name and lineage are to be
found in every State between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Wherever they are to be found, in prosperous or adverse fortune,
their hearts still fondly turn to this fountain head of their family
on this Continent, — all proud to trace back their genealogy to
the heroic age of New England, and to this quiet resting place
of their fathers on the banks of the beautiful Connecticut. To
help all such, who may claim the connexion and lineage of
NATHANIEL FOOTE, ONE OF THE FIRST SETTLERS OF WETH-
ERSFIELD, — to illustrate the spirit and manners of the times in
which he lived, — to exhibit some of the peculiar trials and suffer
ings to which he and his immediate descendants were exposed, —
and to give brief biographical sketches of several of the name
who have left their mark on the age to which they belonged, —
the following pages are devoted.
To the author, the labor of looking through the dusty and fast
perishing records of the past, has carried along with it, its own
sweet reward. Every step in his investigations, has been on some
fragment of reverend history which has exalted his admiration
of the sufferings and services, — of the far-sighted policy, the
religious devotion, and public spirit of the founders of our little
State ; and he will feel amply honored, if his labors shall prove in
any measure successful in chiselling deeper the inscriptions on
their tomb stones, — in rescuing the memory of their virtues from
oblivion, and in brightening the links which connect the present
generation with the first generation of New England, and thereby
infusing a larger spirit of patriotism into the life of to-day. Our
researches into the past will fail of their true import, unless the
living are instructed by its experience, warned by its trials, and
quickened by its example.

lot assigned to his ancestor, Robert Francis, in the division of the town among the
settlers.
INTRODUCTION. V
I. NATHANIEL FOOTE, one of the first settlers of Wethersfield,
Connecticut, belongs, not to that class of men who fill a large place
in the world's history, because called by some great emergency
into positions of power and influence, — but to that more meritori
ous class of pious and excellent persons, who, born to the great
inheritance of labor, walk meekly along the paths of common
life, perform every duty, public or private, love and help their
fellow men, and act always as if in their Great Task Master's
eye. It is to such men that society owes at once, its peace, sta
bility and progress, — and yet history takes no note of such, and
hence
" The world knows nothing of its greatest men."
His business in life was that of agriculture, — necessarily the
leading pursuit of New England in its early history, when the
forests were to be felled, the soil broken up, the seeds of all the
grains, and plants and fruits which constitute the food of men
and beasts to be sown, and its great staples of commercial ex
change supplied. And in every period of society the agricultural
population has proved of the highest importance to the wealth,
dignity and strength of a State. It is from this class of the popu
lation that the city and the village, — that commerce and the arts,
are ever drawing the bone and muscle of their laborers, am? much
of the energy of their directing force. In no other of the leading
pursuits of Society are there the same facilities for cultivating
bodily energy, and the force and vigor of mind consequent upon
a vigorous constitution. The pure air, the rough exposure, the
healthful toil, the constant call for thought and reflection, the walk
ing with God in the open field, the study of his laws as unfolded
in the circuit of the seasons, and in the growth of the seed and
ripening of the harvest, the better domestic training under which
children can be reared in the country, — all these things are favor
able for converting the agricultural population into an element of
conservatism, much needed to give stability to the ever restless
desire of change which animates a young community, and to up
hold society in moments of danger and trial. It is the boast of
Connecticut, and of Wethersfield in particular, to have had from
the beginning a large proportion of intelligent, industrious and
pious farmers in her population, and that the ranks of her mer
chants, her mechanics, her seamen, and her professional men have
VI INTRODUCTION.
been replenished by contributions drawn from this source. To
this she undoubtedly owes her reputation for steady habits, and
the domestic peace which has reigned so continuously in her bor
ders. To this class of her population Mr. Foote belonged ; — he
was an intelligent, pious and industrious farmer, and like all of
that class of farmers, he was from time to time summoned to the
discharge of public trusts by his neighbors and townsmen.
From what part of England Mr. Foote emigrated, or in what
year he arrived in this country, is not known. The first mention
I find made of his name is in the Records of the Colony of Massa
chusetts Bay, in 1633, when he took the oath of freeman. In the
" Records of the Grants and Possession of the Lands in Water-
town," (in which town Mr. Foote first located himself,) the fol
lowing entry is made : —
"NATHANIEL FOOTE.
" 1. An homstall of sixteen acres by estimation, bounded ye north & northwest wth
ye highway, the south &. southwest wth Jeremiah Norcross, granted to him.
" 2. Two acres of marsh by estimation, bounded ye south w'h ye River, the north w*h
Henry Cuttris, the east wth John Firmin, and the west wth John Smith, granted to him."*
Whether Mr. Foote was among the pioneers from Watertown,
who made the first lodgment in, or before, 1635, on the banks of the
Connecticut at Pyquag, is not known, — but his name is found in its
first Records, and among those to whom the first distribution of land
was made ; — and he, therefore, must have shared all the dangers
and privations of that long and toilsome journey through the wil
derness in 1636, and have encountered all the horrors and trials of
the first winter in their new home. And how difficult it is for us,
in our comfortable dwellings, or traversing with every means and
appliance of comfort, the distance between Wethersfield and Bos
ton, in half as many hours as they consumed days, to realize the
sufferings of that journey and of that first winter here ! We
never can be too thankful that courage and strength was meted
out to them in proportion to their trials. For them, the trail of
the Indian, too narrow for teams or herds, — for them, the un-
bridged stream and morass, — for them the steep hill, — for them the
dangers from wild beasts, or from savage men, — were not enough
to cause them to turn back. It was not 'till winter had come
down from the north to lock up the streams, — 'till the fire in their
* The orthography of the original record in this and similar quotations is followed.
INTRODUCTION. Vll
temporary lodgments could not keep out the biting cold, — 'till
famine stared them in the face, that they turned again for food
and shelter to the coast ; and when Spring returned, they were
again on their way, with their thinned ranks recruited, to com
mence anew the work of settlement.
In a few years we find them, with their brethren in Hartford
and Windsor, laying the foundations of a Commonwealth in which
they aim " to maintain and preserve the liberty and purity of the
Gospel of our Lord Jesus," and " to be governed and guided by
such laws, rules, orders and decrees as shall be made, ordained
and declared" by the General Court, to be appointed by the free
men of the Commonwealth. To found a State under any cir
cumstances has ever been counted among the great works of
great men, — but to found a State, in which the equal rights of all
men are so well recognized and guarded, in the wilderness, amid
the trials of frost and famine, and with daily, hourly, constant ap
prehension of assault and butchery from the Savage, is no com
mon event in the world's history, and should be ever remembered
by those who have enjoyed its protection.
In the original distribution of the lands of the town, as recorded
in 1640, Mr. Foote had assigned him a house lot of ten acres on
the east side of Broad Street, near the south end of the street. A
part of this lot is now owned and occupied by Mr. Levi Warner.
Mr. Foote became the owner of several other tracts of land, laying
partly in the Great Meadow east of his house lot, and containing
in the whole, upwards of four hundred acres. The cultivation
of his land constituted his main business, although he was called
by his neighbors to participate in the public trusts of the town,
and in 1644 was appointed a Delegate to the General Court.
Mr. Foote was married in England, about the year 1615, to
Elizabeth Deming, sister of Mr. John Deming, who was one of
the first settlers of Wethersfield, and for many years one of the
Magistrates of the Colony of Connecticut, and one of the Patentees
named in its Charter. His children were all born in England,
except perhaps the youngest. Mr. Foote died in 1644, aged
about 51 years, — and was buried in the ancient burying ground
in the rear of the Meeting House, where are gathered together
the the ashes of nine generations. He left behind him, surviving,
a widow, two sons and five daughters. He left no will. At a

Present, — EDWARD HOPKINS, ESQ., Governor, — JOHN HAYNKS, ESQ. Deputy Governor, and
the several Magistrates.
"Mr. Heynes and Mr. Willis are desired to consider of the estate of Nath: ffoote
deceased, and to take in what help they please from any of the neighbours to advise how yl
may be Disposed of, and to report there apprehensions to the next Court."
This last vote is one of the many evidences which might be
quoted from the Records to show the confidence reposed in the
leading men of the Colony, and how naturally the people turn to
such men for help when public business is to be done, or private
affairs even are to be regulated.
Mrs. Foote, the widow of Nathaniel Foote, was married about
the year 1646, to " Mr. Thomas Welles, Magistrate," after
wards Governor of the Colony, whom she likewise survived.

X INTRODUCTION.
Governor Welles died January 14, 16f£, leaving a will.
When in life, he gave a good estate to each of his children, ex
cept his son John, who settled in Stratford, (Conn.)* Mr. John
Welles died before his father, and in his will gave him his son
Robert, then a child, — to whom Governor Welles, in his will,
which is dated November 7, 1659, gave the bulk of the large
estate of which he died seized.
In his will, Governor Welles says, —
" I desire my loving friends Mr. John Talcott, senior, of Hartford, and Mr. Cotton, Teacher
of the Church of Christ at Wethersfield,t to be the Overseers of this will, — and give them
five pounds a piece out of my estate : — and so long as rny loving wife remains a widow,
she may enjoy and improve my whole estate, if rny Overseers judge it meet, — they discharg
ing out of it my just debts, and taking in the debts owing to nae, and maintaining my
heir ; — [Robert, abovenamed,] and that she may keep the better hospitality."
The calls on the hospitality, not only of those who were
wealthy, but of those families which had enjoyed the public honors
of the Colony, were numerous, and most cheerfully responded to.
To the Clergy, and to persons in official trust or on official busi
ness, travelling through the towns, the door was always open, —
and the hand of charity was never closed to those whom misfor
tune or disease had made helpless.
Mrs. Welles died July 28, 1683, aged about 88 years. She
left a will which was exhibited to and approved by the " Partic
ular Court," August, 1683. The following is a copy of that
Instrument : —

Xll INTRODUCTION.
II. Within twenty years after the first house was erected within
its borders, Wethersfield had attained thrice to the dignity of a
Mother Colony, — having contributed largely to the settlement of
Stamford in 1640 ; toBranford in 1644 ; and to Hadley in 1659.
Each of these settlements grew out of a difference of opinion on
religious topics, — a re-assertion of the right to worship God and
to maintain a church organization, according to the Gospel, as
understood by them, which brought our fathers to these shores,
and sustained them through all the trials and dangers of a pioneer
life in the wilderness. Each of these dissensions had an influ
ence in scattering the members of Nathaniel Foote's family,
and is therefore entitled to a brief notice in these introductory
sketches.
Previous to the installation of the Rev- Henry Smith as the
first Pastor of the Church at Wethersfield, the Rev. Richard Den-
ton, (who accompanied the first settlers,) and Rev. Mr. Pruden,
labored with the people, until the former left in 1641, for Rippo-
wams, and the latter joined his own Church at Milford. During
this period unhappy contentions sprung up in the church and
congregation, which the advice of the ministers at Hartford and
Windsor failed to soothe and settle. Nor did Mr. Davenport and
a delegation of the brethren from New-Haven succeed any bet
ter. Failing in the main object of his visit, Mr. Davenport ad
vised that one of the parties should retire, and make a new set
tlement. Although his advice was not immediately followed by
either of the parties, the disputes were partially ended by the
withdrawal of a number of the principal inhabitants who coinci
ded with Mr. Davenport and his views, and by the purchase of
Rippowams, now Stamford, of New-Haven, on the 30th of Octo
ber, 1640.* The principal settlers were, Rev. Mr. Denton,
Matthew Mitchell, Richard Law, Andrew Ward, Robert Coe and
Richard Gildersleave.
The removal of these individuals, though it curbed the turbu
lence of the times for a season, and prepared the way for the set-
* I find the following vote, in relation to the purchase, on the Records of the town of

tlement of the Rev. Henry Smith, as the first Pastor of the Church
and people, yet it did not restore permanent peace and harmony
among them. The precise time of Mr. Smith's installation is
unknown, but it is supposed to have been in the Spring of 1641,
at which time the Church was regularly organized. After the
settlement of Mr. Smith, the old controversy was revived, which
resulted in another separation in 1644, and in the settlement of
Totocket, the Indian name of Branford. Mr. William Swain*
appears to have been the leader of the party who withdrew ; and
he, in company with Francis Norton and several others, pur
chased a large tract of land of New-Haven, at cost, and commen
ced the settlement of Branford, as above stated.
As an illustration of the subject of the difficulties in the Church
at Wethersfield, I refer to the following proceedings of the Gen
eral and Particular Courts, in relation thereto : —
At a General Court, at Hartford, April 5, 1640.
Present, — EDWARD HOPKINS, Governor, — JOHN HAYNES, Deputy Governor, and the several
Magistrates and Deputies.
"Mr. Mitchellf is returned Recorder for the Town of Wethersfield ; but he is found unca-
pable of the place, lying under the censure of the Court ; and he and the town which chose
him to that place, are to have notice to appear at the next adjournment of the Court. They
are to have liberty to bring in the Records of their Lands until the General Court in Sep

* Mr. Swaine dwelt on the N. W. corner of High and Fort Streets, — being the corner next
east of the State Prison.
t In the distribution of the town among the settlers, Mr. Mitchell had allotted to him in
the Square on which the Academy now stands a home lot of 3 acres, being the northern
most lot of two lots of the same quantity each, lying next north of the highway by which
said Square is bounded on the south. He likewise purchased of Robert Seeley his home
lot, being the lot situated on the S. W. corner of Broad Street, and the road leading into the
meadow. It is not known on which lot he dwelt during his brief sojourn in Wethersfield.
Mr. Mitchell was father of Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, successor in the ministry at Cambridge
to Rev. Thomas Shepard.
XIV INTRODUCTION.
At a General Court, at Hartford, June 11, 1640.
Present, — EDWARD HOPKINS, Governor, — JOHN HAYNES, Deputy Governor, and the several
Magistrates and Deputies.
" If Mr. Mitchell shall give satisfaction to Mr. Chaplin,* in some public meeting, as part of
his censure by acknowledging his fault, in such form and manner as he hath related to this
Court, it is referred to the Particular Court to continue or take off his former censure, as
they shall see cause.
The said Mr. Mitchell, for undertaking the office of Town Clerk or Recorder, notwith
standing his uncapableness of that office, by censure of Court, he is fined to pay to the
Country twenty nobles.
That part of the town of Wethersfield which chose the said Mr. Mitchell to office, not
withstanding the censure of the Court, are fined to the Country five pounds."
At a Particular Court holden at Hartford, July 2, 1640.
Present, — EDWARD HOPKINS, Governor, and five Magistrates.
" Mr. Mitchell hath this day returned into Court his acknowledgment to Mr. Chaplin ; and
for that, with other considerations for former extraordinary charges which he hath formerly
borne for Public Service at the Fort, the Court hath remitted his former censure."!
* Mr. Clement Chaplin, Ruling Elder in the church at Wethersfield, is here meant. He
was an educated man, and came into New England in 1634. I find his name on the Rec
ords of " The New Town," now Cambridge, (where he had lands allotted to him,) in 1635.
He came to Hartford with Mr. Hooker's company, and on or soon after his arrival there,
went to Wethersfield, where he continued to reside until his death, the date of which is
unknown. He left no issue, and by his will, gave all his estate to his wife, Sarah Chaplin,
who returned to England, soon after his decease, — where she executed a general power of
attorney to "William Parks, of Roxbury, (Mass.,)" in which she calls herself of " Edmonds-
bury, in the county of Suffolk, in the kingdom of England, widow and relict of Clement
Chaplin, late of Thetford, in the county of Norfolk, in said kingdom, clerk, deceased." By
virtue of this power, Mr. Parks, on the 24th of September, 1661, sold and conveyed to
Henry Wolcott, of Windsor, several tracts of land with the buildings, situated in Wethers
field, and late belonging to Mr. Clement Chaplin, deceased. Mr. Chaplin's house lot con
tained 5? acres, and had for its east boundary, "the green," (or Meeting House Square,) and
" Rose Lane." The whole extent of the front of the lot is now occupied by the heirs of
the late Stephen Chester, Esq deceased, and by Martin Welles, Esq. — and has thereon
their respective dwelling houses. Mr. Chaplin was appointed Treasurer of the Colony,
in 1637. He was likewise the first Secretary. ,
t Matthew Mitchell, came into New-England in 1635, from Halifax, England : on his
arrival he located himself in Charleston, (Mass.,) where he spent his first winter : "Remov
ing to the Town of Concord, his greater Matters continually became smaller there, his Begin
nings were there, consumed by Fire, and some other Losses befel him in the Latter End of
that Winter. The next Summer he removed unto Say-brook, and the next Spring unto
Weathersfield upon Connecticut River, by which he lost yet more of his Possessions, and
plunged himself into other Troubles. Towards the Close of that year he had a Son-in-law
Slain by the Pequot Indians ; and the Rest of the Winter they lived in much fear of their
Lives from those Barbarians, and many of his Catiel were destroyed, and his Estate unto
the Value of some Hundreds of Pounds was damnified. A Shallop, which he sent unto the
River's Mouth was taken, and burned by the Pequots, and Three Men in the Vessel slain, in
all of whom he was nearly concerned : So that indeed the Pequot Scourge fell more on this
Family, than on any other in the Land. Afterward there arose unhappy Differences in the
place where he lived, wherein he was an Antagonist against some of the Principal Persons
in the place, and hereby he that had hitherto Lived in precious Esteem -with Good Men,
wherever he came, (as a Record I have seen, testifies concerning him,) now suffered much
in his Esteem among many such Men, as 'tis usual in such Contentions, and he met with
many other Injuries : For which causes, he transferred himself, with his Interests, unto
Stamford in the Colony of New-Haven. Here his House Barn and Goods were again con
sumed by Fire ; and much Internal Distress of Mind accompanied these Humbling Dispen
sations. At last, that Most Horrible of Diseases, the Stone, arrested him, and he under
went unspeakable Dolours from it, until the year 1645, when he went unto his Rest about
the Fifty Fifth Year of his "age." — Mather's Magnalia.

Jit a General Court holdcn at Hartford, November 10, 1643.
Present, — JOHN HAYNKS, Governor,— EDWARD HOPKINS, Lieut. Governor, eight Magistrates
and twelve Deputies.
11 Mr. Chaplin* for divulging and setting his hand to a writing called a Declaration, tend
ing to the defamation of Mr. Smith, t is fined to pay to the Country, fifteen pounds.
Francis Norton,:}: for setting his hand to the same writing, is fined five pounds.
John Goodrich,^ also, for setting his hand to the said writing, is fined forty shillings.
Mr. Plum, || for preferring a note of divers grievances against Mr. Smith, and failing in
proof in the prosecution thereof, is fined ten pounds.
Robert Rose,1T for joining with Mr. Plum therein, is fined forty shillings.
It is concluded that a writing shall be prepared and openly read in the several towns, for
the clearing of Mr. Smith, and an Order made of ten pounds fine for whosoever shall be con
victed under two witnesses to divulge any the said grievances, to his defamation."
Jit a General Court holden at Hartford, November 24, 1643.
Present, — JOHN HAYNKS, Governor, — EDWARD HOPKINS, Lieut. Governor, eight Magistrates
and twelve Deputies.
" Whereas many clamours haue been raised and spread through several parts of the coun
try, of some indecent proceedings of Mr. Smith, of Wethersfield, both in Church administra
tion and in acting in the civil occasions of the town, — whereby the peace of the Common
wealth was disturbed, — which gave occasion to the Court to give liberty to all who had
any just grievances, in either kind, against him, to produce them in public, and to appoint a
time for hearing and determining the same ; — which, accordingly, was attended by several
in that town, and many complaints made wherein Mr. Smith was accused, and judged by
them to lye under much guilt. But upon a full hearing of all that was alledged by any in
maintenance of their accusations, were mistakes, wherein Mr. Smith was wronged by false
Reports and unjust surmises. It was, therefore, by unanimous consent of the whole Court,
Ordered, for the prevention of ihe further spreading of the said Reports which tend so
much to the prejudice of the Public Peace, and appanent of Mr. Smith, that whosoever
within the jurisdiction shall hereafter be convicted, by the testimony of two witnesses, to
continue or renew any of the former complaints, (most of the said grievances having been,
also, formerly heard by the Magistrates and Elders,) wherein he hath been cleared by this
Court, shall forfeit to the Country ten pounds for every such offence."
Mr. Smith died in 1648, and was succeeded by Rev. John
Russell, jun., who was ordained about the year 1650. But little
is known of the ministry of Mr. Smith, as no vestige of a Church
Record i,s to be found during his life.
Mr. Russell remained in Wethersfield about nine years. Of
his ministry, like that of Mr. Smith, but little is known, especially
the early part of it. The latter part of it was a season of con
tention and strife.
The settlement of Hadley originated in the sympathy early
felt by the minister, Rev. John Russell, jun., and a large major-

of Matthew Mitchell's home lot. He soon afterwards removed from Wethersfield.
XVI INTRODUCTION^
ity of the Church at Wethersfield, in the religious dissensions
which had sprung up at Hartford in the Mother Church of the
Colony, between the Pastor, Rev. Samuel Stone, (the successor
of Rev. Thomas Hooker,) and Mr. William Goodwin,* the Ru
ling Elder. During the ministry of the prudent, learned and
beloved Hooker, peace reigned in the church, — but on his death,
differences of opinion began to be entertained by members, as to
discipline, baptism and church membership. In these controver
sies, Mr. Goodwin took the side of Congregationalism in its strict
est sense, against the opinions and practices of his minister, — who,
it is supposed, leaned more to what is understood to be the Pres
byterian view of Church government. As the debates waxed
warm, they gradually rent not only the Church at Hartford, but
the neighboring churches, and indeed every church in the Colony,
into hostile parties. As the breach between the contending par
ties at Hartford widened, Mr. Goodwin and his friends, proposed
to unite with the church at Wethersfield. To this step the Gen
eral Court objected, which probably made Rev. Mr. Russell and
his Church more strongly than ever the friends of Mr. Goodwin.
Wisely for the peace of the Church and for the more speedy set
tlement of New-England, Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Russell and
their friends decided to go out from their brethren, and locate
anew at a higher point on the river.
Early in the Spring of 1659, all the Members of the Church,
with the exception of six, — five of whom were not present, — voted
for a removal. Mr. Russell drew up an Instrument, in the
nature of a Covenant, which was signed by himself and thirty of
his Church and Congregation. Among the number was Philip
Smith, who married Rebecca Foote, daughter of Nathaniel Foote
the settler, — his father, Samuel Smith, with all his other chil
dren, John Dickenson, who married Frances Foote, daughter of
Nathaniel Foote aforesaid, and Nathaniel Dickenson his father,
with all his other children, and John Russell, senior, (father of
the minister, who married for his second wife Dorathy Smith,
widow of the Rev. Henry Smith, the predecessor of Rev. Mr.
Russell,) with his children by his first wife, and a part of the chil.
dren of his second wife, by her first husband. With these prelim
inary proceedings, they joined themselves to Mr% Goodwin's party

at Hartford, and a small number from Windsor, and removed to
Hadley, (Mass.,) and commenced the settlement of that town.*
It is not known under whose auspices or explorations the site
of this new settlement was selected, although the purchase from
the Indians was effected through John Pynchon, Esq., son of
Hon. William Pynchon, the first settler of Springfield. f It would

families to Hadley, from " a Paper" recorded in the first Book of Hadley Town Proceed
ings, — of which the following is a copy : —

met engaged themselves under their own hands, or by their deputies (whom thay had chosen,)

ows are shut in by upland and mountains, of most diversified
surface and outline, and giving life to the whole, with a queenly
current, sweeps past the beautiful Connecticut. At no point in
its whole course from that " lone lake" in which it has its birth,
till its wave mingles with the sea, does it so well deserve the
description of the poet, —
* Fair, noble, glorious river ! in thy wave
The sunniest slopes and sweetest pastures lave, —
The purest breezes scent thy blooming hills,
The gentlest dews drop on thy eddying rills :
The young oak greets thee at the water's edge,
Wet by the wave though anchored in the ledge.
The promontories love thee, — and for this
Turn their rough cheeks and stay thee for thy kiss."*
But how changed the scene in all of its natural and moral aspects
since the axe of the first settlers of Northampton and Hadley
rung through the forests, and waving fields of grain and other
products of improved agriculture were first mirror'd in the bosom
of the Connecticut. Then as far as the eye of the beholder,

There is, likewise, on Mr. Pynchon's Account Book, a very curious account between

engaged to him for his land at Natwotogg, and have paid him all to his own content, in the
particulars above s'd. Sept. 1660."
After its organization, the town made one or two additional purchases of land of the
native proprietors of the soil.

standing on the summit of Mount Holyoke, one thousand feet
above the River, could see, to the North and the South, to the
East and the West, embracing a circuit of fifty or sixty miles,
was an untouched wilderness, save here and there an Indian
hamlet, or clearing where the Indian planted his corn ; and all
through the forests, which covered much of the meadow and all
of the upland, and darkened the distant mountains, roamed the
savage in his war path or his hunting expedition, —
" Dark as the frost-nip'd leaves that strew'd the ground
The Indian hunter here his shelter found ; •
Here cut his bow and shaped his arrows true,
Here built his wigwam and his bark canoe,
Spear'd the quick salmon leaping up the fall,
And slew the deer without the rifle ball.
Here his young squaw her crad'ling tree would choose,
Singing her chaunt to hush her swart pappoose ;
Here stain her quills, and string her trinkets rude,
And weave her warrior's wampum in the wood. —
— No more shall they thy welcome waters bless,
No more their forms thy moonlit banks shall press ;
No more be heard from mountain or from grove,
His whoop of slaughter, or her song of love."*
An entire race of men have disappeared with their bravery, their
rude culture, their religious rites and their horrible butcheries.
Now the eye of the beholder rests on the same outline of hills
and mountains, of meadow and River, but the race which has
displaced the savage, has filled the whole circuit with the hives
of industry, and the triumphs of art, education and religion.
The workshop of the mechanic, the factories of the manufacturer,
the fields and granaries of the farmer, the school, academy and
college edifices, and the spires of more than thirty churches
which lead up the thoughts to Heaven, bespeak the presence of
a sober, industrious, intelligent, religious, a law-loving and a law-
abiding people ; — and on no portion of the population, can this
encomium be pronounced more deservedly than on the town of
Hadley, from its earliest settlement to the present time.
III. The family of Nathaniel Foote, as will be seen from the fol
lowing well authenticated narratives, shared largely in the perils
and sufferings experienced so generally by the early settlers in
the valley of the Connecticut, at the hands of the Indians. In no
part of New-England were the Indians so numerous in propor
tion to the territory as in this valley, and traditions of the horrors

INTRODUCTION. Xx
of the Indian wars are linked almost with every village through-
out its whole extent. For ninety years after the first settlement,
there was scarcely an hour in which the inhabitants, especially
of the frontier towns, could travel in the forests, work in the fields,
worship God in their churches, or lie down in their beds at night,
without apprehension of attack from their stealthy and remorse
less foe. The fact that the attacks of the Indians were preceded
by no note of preparation, gave a sense of insecurity to the mem
bers of the family at home, or the heads of the family abroad,
which made the real danger, great as it was, more formidable.
The blow fell when and where it was least expected. When the
Indian seemed most intent on his avocation of hunting or fishing,
or in planning some distant expedition, — then the farmer in the
field would be surprized by an ambuscade, or on his return home
find his house in ashes, his wife or children butchered or hurried
away into captivity ; or the quiet of his slumbers would be broken
by the warhoop, and the darkness of midnight be illumined by
the glare of the village on fire. Those were trials of which the
present generation can know nothing.
From the Indians who resided in the immediate neighborhood,
it does not appear that the infant colony at Wethersfield suffered
any wrong. Neither Sowheag, — who resided at Mattabesick, and
whose jurisdiction extended from below Middletown to Hartford,
nor Sequin, — the Sagamore of the pleasant meadows of Wethers-
field, then called Pyquag, were hostile to the whites. On the
other hand, they seemed to have regarded their presence as a pro
tection against the exactions and predatory excursions both of
the Mohawks and the Pequods, both of which tribes seemed to
have exercised the rights of conquest over the Indians of this por
tion of the valley. The Pequod, the seat of whose power was on
the banks of the Mystic, seemed early to have imbibed a bitter
hostility to the whites, as if foreseeing that two distinct races of
men, with such varying character and habits, could not together
continue to occupy the same territory. As early as 1634, they
began the work of murder and pillage, — and in 1636, conceived
a plan to extirpate, or drive all the English from New-England.
On the 23d of April, 1637, Wethersfield was the scene of one
of those Indian tragedies which finally led to the declaration of
war against the Pequods and to their utter extinction as a people.
A party of this tribe, under the command of Nepaupuck, (who
XX11 INTRODUCTION.
was also called Messatunck,) a subordinate chieftain, surprized
the people as they were going into the meadow, killing six men
and three women, and taking two young girls prisoners, besides
killing twenty cows and doing much other damage. The site of
this horrid transaction was a little east of the State Prison, on
the Street leading from the dwelling house of the late Frederick
Butler, Esq.* and the landing near the meadow gate. The
Indians concealed themselves in the bushes on the bank of the
River while the laborers were at home at dinner, and awaited
their return. On their arrival at the spot before mentioned, they
sprang from their ambuscade, and seized eleven, (the others,
escaping by flight,) nine of whom were immediately dispatched
by the tomahawk. Among the slain were two men by the name
of Finch, Abraham and John, who were near neighbors of Na
thaniel Foote. The names of the others are unknown. The
young girls, one the daughter of William Swaine,f were carried
captives to Mystic, where they were spared from death at the
earnest intercession of the wife of Mononotto, who, though a
savage, was, also, a mother, and felt a mother's love. She in
terceded in their behalf, and finally prevailed on her husband to
permit her to adopt them as her own children. This well authen
ticated act of generosity and maternal love, remarks the author
of Hope Leslie, is precious to all those who would accumulate
proofs, that the image of God is never quite effaced from the souls
of his creatures, and that in their .darkest ignorance and deepest
degradation, there are still to be found traits of mercy and benev
olence. These will be gathered and treasured in the memory,
with that fond feeling with which Mungo Park described himself
to have culled and cherished in his bosom, the single flower that
bloomed in his melancholy track over the African desert.
" None are all evil, — quickening 'round the heart,
Some softer feeling will not quite depart."
Every effort was immediately made by their parents and the
colony to recover the girls. The only medium of negociation
* This house stands on a lot of land which was the home lot of John Deming, one of the
first settlers, and which was acquired by him partly from the town in the original distribu
tion of their lands among the settlers, and partly by purchase of Thomas Standish, who
acquired his title by the same distribution, — and is situated on the south-east corner of

Welles, who gave it to his son Samuel, who resided on it until hia death.

with the Pequods, was through the Dutch, who were in possession
of Manhadoes. The Dutch governor, receiving intelligence of
the circumstances of the two English maids, sent a sloop to
Pequod to redeem them by what means soever, though it were
with breach of their peace with the Pequods. The sloop offered
largely for their ransom ; but nothing would be accepted. So
the Dutch, having many Pequods aboard, stayed six of them, (the
rest leaped overboard,) and with them redeemed the two maids,
who had been well used by the Pequods, and no violence offered
them. The Dutch delivered the young women at Saybrook, just
before Capt. Mason and his party arrived there,* who were bound
from Hartford to the Pequot country, — the General Court having,
on the first day of May, 1637, declared war against the Pequods,
as will appear by the following order :
" The first day of May 1637. Oenrall Corte att Harteford.
" Present, — Mr. LUDLOWE, Mr. WELLS, Mr. SWAINE, Mr. STEELE, Mr. PHELPS, Mr.
WARDE.
" Comittees : Mr. Whytinge, Mr. Webster, Mr. Willras, Mr. Hull, Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Talcott,
Mr. Hosford, Mr. Mychell, Mr. Sherman.
" It is ordered that there shal be an offensive warr agt the Pequoitt."
Having declared war, the Court next resolved to raise an army
and supplies for its immediate prosecution. It was ordered that
ninety men should be levied out of the three plantations, in the
following proportions, — Hartford, 42 ; Windsor, 30 ; Wethersfield,
18. Every soldier was directed to carry with him one pound of
powder, four pounds of shot, twenty bullets and a light musket.
They were directed to take a barrel of powder from the fort at
Saybrook.
The supplies, like the men, were apportioned among the plan
tations, according to their supposed ability to furnish them.
Windsor was ordered to provide sixty bushels of corn, fifty pieces
of pork, thirty pounds of rice and four cheeses. Hartford was
ordered to furnish eighty-four bushels of corn, three firkins of
salt, two firkins of butter, four bushels of oatmeal, two bushels of
peas, five hundred pounds offish and two bushels of salt. The
proportion of Wethersfield was thirty-six bushels of corn and one
bushel of Indian beans. Each plantation was ordered to have

bors of Connecticut, especially at mutual charges, without proof, of incitement of the bar
barians, are so frequently made by all civilized nations."

. the corn ground, and one half baked in biscuit. It was, also,
further ordered by the General Court — ' that there should be
furnished one good hogshead of beer for the Captain, minister and
sick men ; and if there be only three or four gallons of strong
water, two gallons of sack.' And at the same General Court at
Hartford, May 1, 1637, — " It is ordered yl there shalbe 1 hogg
pr'vided att Wythersfeild for the designe in hande, wch is con
ceived to be Nathaniell Footes."
Thus equipped and furnished, the troops rendezvoused at Hart
ford, on the 10th of May, — when a pink, a pinnace and a shallop
were in readiness to transport them down the River. Here they
were joined by Uncas and about seventy Mohegan and River In
dians, who had agreed to accompany them. The command of
the whole force was given to Capt. John Mason,* of Windsor.
Lieut. Robert Seeley, of Wethersfield, was second in command,
and Uncas leader of the Indians, — subject, however, to the order
of the Commander in Chief. The Rev. Samuel Stone, of Hart
ford, was appointed to accompany the little army, as chaplain,
and Doct. Thomas Pell, surgeon of the Garrison at Saybrook, in
that capacity.
The result of this war, — which was in fact the life struggle of
the colonists, and especially of those who had made their lodg
ments on the River, — was the total extirpation of the Pequod na
tion, — the most sagacious, brave and dreaded tribe among the
Indians of New-England. With* all our sympathy for the suffer
ings of the early settlers which provoked this conflict, and with all
our appreciation of the untold blessings which have followed to us
their descendants and to the world, from their signal triumph in this
war, we cannot but feel a throb of pity at the fate of this nation.
As it is refreshing amid the heart rending scenes which fill the
record of the doings of the Indians, to turn to the generous pity of
the wife of Mononotto towards the young captives, as before de
scribed, so it is good to remember that the whites in their burn
ing thirst for blood, provoked by the barbarities of their Savage
foe, did not forget to treat this noble woman with every respect
when she and her children fell prisoners into their hands. Her
modesty, humanity and good sense are duly commemorated, and
* Capt. Mason removed from Windsor to Saybrook, and from Saybrook to Norwich with
Rev Mr. James Fitch and others, and there continued to reside until his death. The title
of Captain was considered so appropriately to belong to John Mason, that in speaking of
him on one occasion, he is designated on the Records of Windsor, as "The Captain."

the lives of her children were spared, and she was commended to
the special care of Governor Winthrop, at Boston, to whom she
was sent by the victors. «
The Pequod captain, Nepaupuck, whose cold blooded attrocities
at Wethersfield, hastened on the declaration of war against his
Tribe, was tried, found guilty and executed at New-Haven, as will
appear from the following extracts from the Records of the Court.
The Record begins October 26, 1639, the day after the first
election of civil officers.
Trial of Jfepaupuck, at Neio-Haven, for the murder of Abraham Finch* of Wether sfield,
October 30, 11337.
" The civil affairs of the plantation being settled as before, by the providence of God, an
Indian called Messatunck, alias Nepaupuck, who had been formerly accused to have mur
derously shed the blood of some of the English, of his own accord, with a deer's head upon
his back, came lo Mr. Eaton's, where by warrant the marshal apprehended and pinioned
him ; yet notwithstanding by the subtlety and treachury of another Indian, his companion,
he had almost made an escape ; but by the same providence he was again taken, and deliv
ered into the magistral*"^ power, and by his order safely kept in the stocks till he might be
brought to a due trial. And the Indian who had attempted his escape was whipped by the
marshal's deputy.
" Oct. 28th. — The Quillipieck Indian sagamore, with divers of his Indians with him,
were examined before the magistrate and the deputies for this plantation, concerning Ne
paupuck. They generally accused him to have murdered one or more of the English, and
that he had cut off some of their hands, and had presented them to Sassacuse the Pequot
sachem, boasting that he had killed them with his own hands.
*Mewhebato, a Quillipieck Indian, kinsman to the aforesaid Nepaupuck, coming at the
same time to intercede for him, was examined what he knew concerning the murders
charged upon the said Nepaupuck. At first he pretended ignorance ; but with a distracted
countenance and a trembling manner, being admonished to speak the truth, he did ac
knowledge him guilty according to the charge the other Indians had before made.
" All the other Indians withdrawing, Nepaupuck was brought in and examined. He
confessed that Nepaupuck was guilty according to the tenor of the former charge, but
denied that he was Nepaupuck. Mewhebato being brought in, after some signs of sorrow,
charged him to his face that he had assisted the Pequots in murdering the English. This
somewhat abated his spirit and boldness. But Wattoone, the son of Carrahoode, a coun
cillor to the Quillipieck Indian sagamore, coming in, charged him more particularly that he
had killed Abraham Finch, an Englishman, at Wethersfield ; and that he himself, the said
Wattoone, stood upon the Island at Wethersfield, and beheld him the said Nepaupuck, now
present, acting the said murder. Lastly, the Quillipieck sagamore and the rest of the Indians
being called in, to his face affirmed that he was Nepaupuck, and that he had murdered one
or more of the English as before.
" Nepaupuck being by the concurrence of the testimony convinced, he confessed that he
was the man, namely, Nepaupuck, and boasted he was a great captain, had murdered
Abraham Finch, and had his hand in other English blodd. He said he knew he must die,
and was not afraid of it, but laid his neck to the mantle-tree of the chimney, desiring that
his head might be cut off, or that he might die in any other manner the English should ap
point, only he said fire was God, and God was angry with him, therefore he would not
fall into his hands. After this he was returned to the stocks, and, as before, a watch ap
pointed for his safe custody.
* The man murdered was Abraham Finch, jun., son of Abraham Finch, senior, one of the
first settlers. His home lot was situated on the east side of Broad Street, and appears to
have been the lot lying next south of that now known by the name of the Stanton lot.
According to the Land Records of the town, it contained "thirteen acres, ten acres of
which was his father's adventure lands," and lay next east of the home lot. The home lots
on Broad Street were, in general, laid forty rods in length, and twelve rods in width. —
Abraham Finch, jun., is said to have married a daughter of Matthew Mitchell. — He left
one child only, — an infant.

XXVI INTRODUCTION.
"A General Court 29th of October, 1639. — A general court being assembled to proceed
against the said Indian Nepaupuck, who was then brought to the bar, and being examined as
before, at the first he denied that he was that Nepaupuck which had committed those mur
ders wherewith he was charged. But when he saw that the Quillipieck sagamore and his
Indians did again accuse him to his face, he confessed that he had his hand in the murder of
Abraham Finch ; but yet he said there was a Mohauke of that name that had killed more
than he.
" Wattoone affirmed to his face that he, the said Nepaupuck, did not only kill Abraham
Finch, but was one of them that killed the three men in the boat or shallop on Connecticut
River ;* and that there was hut one Nepaupuck, and this was he, and the same that took a
child of Mr. Swain's at Wethersfield. Then the said Nepaupuck being asked if he would
not confess he deserved to die, he answered it is were<rin. [Well or good.]
u The Court having had such pregnant proof, proceeded to pass sentence upon him ac
cording to the nature of the fact, and the rule in that case, He that shed's man's blood, by
man shall his blood be shed. Accordingly his head was cut off the next day, and pitched
upon a pole in the market place."
The following narratives of Indian atrocities relate particularly
to the children and other descendants of Nathaniel Foote, the set
tler, and those connected with them by marriage.
Frances Foote, daughter of Nathaniel Foote, the settler, was
married to John Dickenson, first of Wethersfield, (Conn.,) after
wards of Hadley, (Mass.,) in 1648,f — by whom she had a family
of children. Hannah Dickenson, the eldest of the children, was
born at Wethersfield, December 6, 1648, and was married to
Samuel Gillett, of Hatfield, September 23, 1668. Mr. Gillett was
lost at the " Falls Fight," (the great fight with the Indians at
Turner's Falls, on Connecticut River,) May 19, 1676. His
widow, Mrs. Hannah Gillett, was afterwards married to Stephen
Jennings, of Hatfield, May 15, 1677, and was captured by the
Indians and carried to Canada, September 19, 1677. She re
turned in 1678. Hence, a daughter born soon after her return,
was, very appropriately named " Captivity."
In or soon after the year 1690, Mr. Jennings removed with his
family to Brookfield, (Mass.,) — a place which "has been famous
for Indian inhabitants, Indian wars, and Indian barbarities," —
where on the 20th of July, 1710, he and five others, being at
work in the meadow making hay, were sprung upon suddenly by
the Indians,^: and killed.
* Trumbull, Vol. I. p. 76. The shallop is said to have been owned by Matthew Mitchell,
and the men killed, his relatives.
t Daniel Dickenson's home lot in Wethersfield was the lot on the south end of the west
side of Broad Street, now owned and occupied by George Holmes. His father, Nathaniel
Dickenson, dwelt on the home lot next north of the above, which is now owned by the
heirs of William Willard, deceased.
t "The last mischief which was done by the Savages in Brookfield, was about the 20th
of July, 1710. Six men, viz: Ebenezer Haward, John White, Stephen and Benjamin Jen
nings, John Grosvenor and Joseph Kellogg, were making hay in the meadows, when the
Indians, who had been watching an opportunity to surprize them, sprung suddenly upon
them, dispatched five of them, and took the other, (John White.) prisoner — White, spying
INTRODUCTION. XXVii
His daughter "Captivity," after she grew up to womanhood,
became herself a captivator ; inasmuch as she captivated Abijah
Bartlett, of Brookfield, to whom she was married : — but, as if her
fate was mysteriously linked with savage barbarity, he likewise
was slain by the Indians, in October, 1708.
Sarah Dickenson, another of the daughters of John Dickenson,
was married to Samuel Lane, of Hatfield, (Mass.,) 1677. He
died in Sufneld, (Conn.) After his death she was again married
to Martin Kellogg,* then of Hatfield, afterwards of Deerfield, and
subsequently of Sufneld, by whom she had four children. She
was his second wife. His first wife was Anna Hinsdale.
When Deerfield was destroyed by the French and Indians,
February 29, 1704, Mr. Kellogg and four of his children, viz :
Martin, -born of his first wife, October 26, 1686, and Joseph, born
November 8, 1691, Joanna, born February 8, 1693, and Rebec
ca, born December 2, 1695, all of his second wife, — were cap
tured and taken to Canada. Mrs. Kellogg escaped. Epaphras
Hoyt, Esq., in his Book entitled " Indian Wars," gives the fol
lowing history of this family :
" Among the captives was a family of Kelloggs, whose history is interesting. They
were Martin, Joseph. Joanna and Rebecca. Rebecca, the youngest, resided at Cahnawaga,
(X. Y.,) until a woman grown, and became extensively acquainted with the language of the
Indians in that quarter. She and her two brothers, Martin and Joseph, who also learned
the Indian language, were often employed as interpreters, the two latter at Indian treaties.
Joseph attended one in that capacity, at Albany, in 1754 ; and accompanying Governor
Shirley on the expedition against Oswego the next year, died at Schenectady. Rebecca
married a Mr. Benjamin Ashley, and was repeatedly employed as an interpreter by mission
aries. In 1757, she accompanied the Rev. Gideon Hawley on a dangerous and tedious tour
through the woods to Susquehannah river, on a mission to the Indians in that quarter, and
a small company of our people at some distance, jumped from the Indian that held him and
ran to join his friends ; but the Indian fired after him, and wounded him in the thigh, by
which he fell ; but soon recovering and running again, he was again fired a' and received
his death wound." History of Brookfield, by Rev.Doct. Fiske, Pastor of the third church in
that town.
"The six men who in 1710, were killed in the meadows between this place and the
South Parish, were buried in the Old Burying Ground, (which is situated about 80 rods
southwest of the Meeting House.) The six graves are still discernable in the line next west
of Mr. Cornelius White's." Historical Discourse of Rev. Joseph I. Foote, Pastor of the first
church of Brookfield, November 27, 1828.
The exact date in which the "mischief" above referred to was done, I find on the Hat-
field Records, in the following entry, — ''Mr. Stephen Jennings was slain by the Indians, at
Brookfield, July 22, 1710."
* Martin Kellogg, born in 1658, was son of Joseph Kellogg, whom I find first at Fanning-
ton, (Conn.,) in 1651, among the first settlers of that town, and at Hadley, (Mass.,) in 1662,
where he continued to reside until his death. Four children are recorded to have been
born to him at Farmington, and a fifth, Martin, above named, though not recorded, is sup
posed to have been born in that place. The birth of his next child, Edward, boin October
1, 1660, is recorded on the Records of Boston. The birth of his three next children, — the
death of his first wife, Joanna, which took place September 14, 1666, — his marriage to
Abigail Terry, daughter of Stephen Terry, sometime of Hadley, and sister of John Terry, of
Simsbury, (Conn.,) May 9, 1667, and the birth of nine children by this marriage, are all of

died at one of their towns the same year. Martin was several times captured by the In
dians, and conveyed to Canada, and afterwards bore a captain's commission. He was re
markable for bodily strength, and firmness of mind ; and many exploits of his early life, are
related. Mr. Sargeant employed him in the Hollis School, where his knowledge of the
Indian language rendered him eminently useful. He spent the last years of his life, at
Newington, (Conn.,) and died about 1758."
Martin Kellogg, son of Martin Kellogg aforesaid, settled in the
first Society in Wethersfield, (Conn.,) and, for a season, dwelt on
the lot next east of the Congregational meeting house, known as
the Latimer place, where he was married to Dorathy Chester,
daughter of Stephen Chester, son of John Chester,* and of Sarah
his wife, daughter of Governor Thomas Welles, all of the same
town, January 13, 1716. Mr. Kellogg subsequently removed
with his family to Newington Society, in the same town, where
he continued to reside until his death, — which, according to a
record on the stone at his grave, occurred on the ii 13th of
November, 1753, in the 68th year of his age."
Joanna Kellogg, the remaining captive child of Martin Kellogg,
senior, through choice, remained among the Indians, and when
she grew up, was married to an Indian chief. She died, leaving
children. Before her death, she, together with several of her
children, visited her half-brother, Martin Kellogg, at Newington ;
but could not be induced to take up her residence with him.
Her love of the "wild woods," was too strong, and she returned
to her Indian home.j"
Elizabeth Foote, daughter of Nathaniel Foote, of Wethersfield,
(Conn.,) son of Nathaniel Foote, the settler, was married to Daniel
Belden, of Hatfield, (Mass.,) November 10, 16704 They had
fourteen children.
" Elizabeth, wife to Daniel Belden ye head of the family, together with Daniel Belden,
John Belden and Thankful Belden, their children, were all of them slaine by the enemie,
September 16, 1696."$
* John Chester was son of Leonard Chester, one of the first settlers of Wethersfield.
1 1 have this account relating to Joanna Kellogg, from my friend Gen. Martin Kellogg, of
Newington, great grandson of Capt. Martin Kellogg, referred to in the account.
The difficulty of retaining in civilized society those who have been so long in captivity as
to become accustomed to savage life, was often very great. A singular instance is found
in page 240 of the Brookfield Record of Lands. "December 9, 1714, Then granted to
Margaret Otice, alias Lebue, one that was a prisoner in Canada, and lately come from
thence, forty acres of upland in Brookfield, and twenty acres of meadow ; provided she
returns noi again to live in Canada, but tarries in this province or territory, and marries to
Capt. Thomas Baker." The proposal was accepted. Capt. Baker was the first representa
tive sent from this town to the General Court. Note to Rev. Dr. Fisk's History of Brook-
field.
J He was son of William Belden, of Wethersfield, and of Tomasin his wife, and was born
November 20, 1648.

" Sept. 16, 1696. The Indians came along from up Green-River to the town, and
assaulted Mr. Daniel Belden's house, — took Mr. Belden his son Nathaniel and daughter
Esther captive, killed his wife and three children, and wounded Samuel* and Abigail, but
they recovered, — altho' Samuel had a hatchet stuck in his head, and some of his brains
came out at the wound."t
" The Indians making an Assault upon Deerfield, in this Present War, they struck a
Hatchet some Inches into the Skull of a Boy there, — even so deep, that the Boy felt the
force of a Wrench used by 'em to get it out. There he lay a long while Weltering in his
Blood ; they found him, they Dress'd him ; considerable Quantities of his Brain came out
from time to time when they opened the Wound ; yet the Lad recovered, and is now a
Living Monument of the Power and Goodness of God."J
On the 17th day of February, 1699, Mr. Daniel Belden afore
said was married to Hepzibah Welles, widow of Thomas Welles,
Jim., of Hatfield.§ He died in 1691. In 1693, two of the chil
dren of Mrs. Welles were slain by the Indians, and her other
daughter severely injured.
"June 6, 1693. The Widow Hepzibah Welles' three daughters were knock'd in the
head and scalp'd ; two of them died, but the other lived."||
In the desolation which befel Deerfield, by an incursion of the
French and Indians, February 29, 170f, Mrs. Welles herself,
then Mrs. Belden, together with Rev. Mr. John Williams and his
wife and children, and about one hundred and twenty of their
neighbors, were by them taken captive and marched for Canada :
but, horrible to relate, Mrs. Belden together with Mrs. Williams
and several other women, were most cruelly put to death on the
way.
" Hepzibah Belden was killed after they went out of town."
" He that took me was unwilling to let me speak with any of the prisoners, as we
march'd ; but on the morning of the second day, he being appointed to guard the rear, I
was put into the hands of my other master, who permitted me to speak to my wife when I
overtook her, and to walk with her to help her in her journey. On the way we discoursed
of the happiness of those who had a right to an house not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens ; and God for a father and friend ; as also that it was our reasonable duty quietly
to submit to the will of God, and to say, The will of the Lord be done. My wife told me, her
strength of body began to fail, and that I must expect to part with her ; saying, she hoped
God would preserve my life and the life of some, if not all our children with us ; and com
mended to me, under God, the care of them. She never spake any discontented word as to
what had befallen us, but with suitable expressions, justified God in what had befallen us.
We soon made an halt, in which time my chief surviving master came up, upon which I
was put upon marching with the foremost, and so made to take my last farewell of my dear
wife, the desire of my eyes, and companion in many mercies and afflictions. Upon our sep
aration from each other, we asked for each other, grace sufficient for what God should call

us to. ****** I was made to wade over a small river, and so were all the
English, the water above knee deep, the stream very swift ; and after that to travel up a
small mountain ; my strength was almost spent before I came to the top of it. No sooner
had I overcome the difficulty of that ascent, but I was permitted to sit down, and be un-
burthened of my pack. I sat pitying those who were behind, and intreated my master to
let me go down and help my wife ; but he refused, and would not let me stir from him. I
asked each of the prisoners, (as they passed by me,) after her, — heard that passing through
the abovesaid river, she fell down and was plunged over head and ears in the water ; after
which she travelled not far, for at the foot of the mountain, the cruel and blood-thirsty
Savage who took her slew her with his hatchet at one stroke, — the tidings of which were
very awful : and yet such was the hard heartedness of the adversary, that my tears were
reckoned to me as a reproach."*
Samuel Foote, of Hatfield, (Mass.,)f was married to Mary Mer-
rick, of Springfield, in the same State, in 1671. They had eight
children. The mother and two of the three first born children,
viz: Nathaniel, born 1672 ; Mary, born July 9, 1674, and Sam-
uel born about 1676, are referred to in the Record, of which the
following is a copy, —
" Goodwife Foote and two children were carried away by the Indians, in ther irruption
on Hatfield, September 19, 1677."J
They were all subsequently restored. And the following ar
ticle has reference to Samuel Foote, one of the above children.

IV. It will be seen from the following narration, taken from the
pages of Cotton Mather, —
" Whose undoubting mind
Believ'd the magic wonders which he penn'd," —
that the first settlers of Hadley shared in that general belief, in
the existence and practices of Witchcraft, which prevailed during
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in every country in
Christendom, and a member of Nathaniel Foote's family was in
volved in its consequences. Sad and dark as is the records of the
trials and executions for the practice of witchcraft which took
place principally in the eastern part of Massachusetts, 1692, it
furnishes no just ground of reproach to New-England, in general,
or any portion of it in particular. ||

INTRODUCTION. XXXI
By witchcraft was understood, at the time of our fathers, a
supernatural power of which persons were supposed to obtain
possession by entering into an actual, deliberate and formal com
pact with Satan. They gave themselves up to him, body and
soul ; transferring to him that allegiance and worship which is
due only to God ; and Satan on his part agreed to exercise in
their favor supernatural powers, and to impart to them a portion
of these powers.
This belief that certain persons were endowed with supernat
ural power, and that they were assisted by invisible spirits is
very ancient, and indeed can be traced in the history of the reli
gious sentiment and the religious observances of every people
and in every age of the world.
Without attempting in this place to trace the history of witch
craft, it is enough here to state that from 1500 to 1700, it was the
prevailing belief of the day throughout all Christendom ; and that
to oppose it or deny its existence, or to question the justice of the
statutes which recognized and punished it as a crime on evidence
which would be deemed inadmissible in other cases, was to ex
pose one's self to the pains and penalties of heresy, or to the stigma
of atheism. Prior to the reign of Henry VIII, witchcraft was
dealt with by the ecclesiastical tribunals ; but during the reign
of Elizabeth, (1562,) it was recognized as a crime against the
State, and punished by standing in the pillory. The crime, how
ever, was more minutely described in the statutes of James I,
who interested himself particularly in the subject, and published
a book entitled, " Dialogues on Demonology," which had great
influence in stimulating prosecutions arid promoting executions
under the statute. In the preface to his Dialogues, published in
1601, the royal author remarks, — " The fearful abounding at this
time in this country, of the detestible slaves of the Devil, the
witches or enchanters, hath moved me to prepare this treatise, so
far as' I can to resolve the doubting hearts of many, both that
such assaults of Satan are most certainly practiced, and that the
instrument thereof merits most surely to be punished."
Under the statutes many trials and executions occurred at the
time and in the very counties of England from which many of
at Salem. Watson, in his Annals of Philadelphia, describes a trial of two Swedish women
for witchcraft. The grand-jury, acting according to instructions laid down by William
Penn, who presided at the trials, found bills against them, and they were saved only by
some technical defect in the instrument.

the first settlers of New-England emigrated ; and mingled up
with these trials, we find the presence or the authority of many
persons much respected and even venerated by our ancestors.
In the counties of Essex and Suffolk, in the years 1644 and
1645, upwards of one hundred convictions took place before a
commission at the head of which was Lord Warwick, one of the
most intelligent and popular noblemen of England, and with the
advice and concurrence of Doct. Calamy, one of the most eminent
Puritan divines of that age. Sixteen persons were hanged at
Yarmouth ; fifteen in Chelmsford, (from which Rev. Thomas
Hooker and other settlers of Hartford and the neighborhood came,)
and sixty at various places in the county of Suffolk.
More than three thousand persons were executed for witchcraft
in England alone during the century preceding the year 1670,
according to Doct. Clark, who states that he had examined the
records of the trials.
In Scotland, during the same period, this belief prevailed with
most sanguinary results. Thousands of persons, it is stated by
Sir Walter Scott in his History of Witchcraft, lost their lives for
identically the same practices and on substantially the same kind
of evidence which marked the witch trials in New-England. So
deeply had the belief in witchcraft become interwoven with the
religious faith of the people, that the repeal of the statutes against
witchcraft in 1735, gave such offence to a large body of Chris
tians in Scotland, that in their annual confession of individual
and national sins, they specify " the repeal of these statutes as an
offence against the express law of God."
The legal proceedings against persons accused or suspected of
practicing witchcraft in New-England, were the same as those
prescribed by the statute passed during the reign of James I, and
pursued by the many special commissions appointed at different
times by the government to investigate cases of this class. The
authority of that enlightened Judge, Sir Matthew Hale, who pre
sided in the trial of two aged females for witchcraft in 1664, in
consequence of which they were convicted and executed, was
quoted and followed in the ever memorable trials at Salem in
1692. This trial is remarkable for being the occasion on which
not only the conviction of the ignorant on this subject was dis
played, but the authority of two of the most learned and intel
lectual men of that age was thrown into the scale of the popular
INTRODUCTION. XXXiii
belief. Sir Matthew Hale commanded the respect of all men, of
all parties, for his high judicial character and private virtues, in
an age in which the piety and integrity of public men was sub
jected to the most fiery ordeal. During the progress of the trial,
Sir Thomas Browne, an author and physician of high reputation,
and who had signalized himself by his book entitled " An Enquiry
into Vulgar Errors," was present, and being appealed to by Judge
Hale for his opinion on some of the points which had been sub
mitted in evidence, — particularly as to the fact of a girl, closely
muffled, going into fits on being touched by one of the supposed
witches, — he gave it as his opinion " that the fits were natural,
but heightened by the power of the devil, cooperating with the
malice of the witches." It is due to Sir Matthew Hale to add,
that he was so perplexed himself by the evidence adduced, and
so cautious lest his opinion should have a preponderating influ
ence on either side, that he refused lo sum up the evidence, but
left it all to the jury with prayers, " that the great God of Heaven
would direct their hearts in this weighty matter." He told them
however "that the Scriptures left no doubt that there was such a
thing as witchcraft ; that the laws of England recognized its ex
istence and enacted penalties against its practices, and that their
business was to consider, first, whether the children were really
bewitched, — and second, whether the witchcraft was brought
home to, the prisoners at the bar."
Sir William Blackstone, the great oracle of British law, so late
as 1765, declared in his Commentaries, his belief in witchcraft in
the following strong terms : — " To deny the possibility, — nay, the
actual existence of witchcraft and sorcery, is, at once, flatly to
contradict the revealed word of God, in various passages, both of
the Old and New Testament ; and the thing itself is a truth to
which every nation in the world hath, in its turn, borne testimony,
either by examples seemingly well attested, or by prohibitory
laws, which at least suppose the possibility of commerce with
evil spirits."
Sir John Reresby, after giving an account of a poor woman
tried for a witch at York, in 1686, and acquitted, as he thought
very properly, proceeds to tell us, that, notwithstanding, the sen
tinel upon the jail where she was confined, avowed " that he saw
a scroll of paper creep from under the prison door, and then
change itself first into a monkey, and then into a turkey, which

the underkeeper confirmed. This, says Sir John, I have from the
mouth of both, and now leave it to be believed, or disbelieved, as
the reader may be inclined," — where I, also, leave this knotty
and interesting subject.
It is not strange that our fathers should have imbibed the spirit
of the age in which they lived, or should have brought with them
the opinions and practices which prevailed in the towns and coun
ties of England from which they emigrated, — opinions and prac
tices to which the ablest writers, the most enlightened judges, and
the most eminent divines of England in that age gave the sanction
of their authority. These opinions derived additional confirma
tion from the peculiar circumstances of their emigration and set
tlement here. They left England when the ancient foundations
of Society were broken up, — when an established church had
been overthrown, — when the neck of a king had been brought to
the block, and revolutions were taking place which filled the minds
of men with strange and gloomy forebodings. They came to this
country smarting from persecution, and they came, to use their
own expression, " to a howling wilderness among wild men and
wild beasts." In the wide, deep and solemn forests which covered
the hills, or hung over the roads which connected the scattered
settlements, there prowled a race of men whose strange appear
ance, cruel customs, and warlike propensities filled the hearts of
the old and the young with terror. The conversation of the
Indians turned much on the incantations and spells of the Powahs,
or wizards, and their own deeds of cruelty to the whites had
caused them to be looked upon as possessed of evil spirits.
Scarcely a village could be found which could not point to some
scene of Indian barbarity, — scarcely a family whose past history
did not furnish some record of the stealth, the malice, or the ven
geance of the savage foe, — of dwellings fired at midnight, — of
fathers murdered in the field at their work, or tomahawked at
their own doors, — of mothers, wives and children, carried into
captivity, or butchered under circumstances of the most refined
cruelty. The ill success, too, which attended the efforts of the
whites to reclaim the Indian from his savage life, and impart to
him a knowledge of the true God, seemed to confirm the opinion,
that he was possessed of the devil, and that through him Satan
was to carry on an exterminating warfare against the church of
God which they had established in the wilderness with incredible
suffering and trials.
INTRODUCTION. XXXV
To return to the promised extract from Cotton Mather, — " Mr.
Philip Smith,"* who was "murder'd with an hideous Witchcraft,"
was one of the early settlers of Wethersfield, and was married to
Rebecca Foote, daughter of Nathaniel Foote, the settler. He
removed to Hadley with Rev. John Russell, jun., in 1659, where
he died the 10th of January, 1684. He held a commission of
Lieutenant and is designated by that title in the " Record Book of
the Hadley Hopkins School, "f in which his death is entered in
* The home lot on which Philip Smith dwelt, during his residence in Wethersfield, was
the lot on the west side of Broad Street, now owned and occupied by Samuel Galpin, Esq.
It was bought for him by his father, of John Lattimer, who bought it of John Edwards, senior,
to whom it was laid out in the division of the town among the settlers. Mr. Smith's father
lived on a home lot of three acres which lay next north of the above, and which, together
with another lot of the same quantity, next adjoining on the north, originally the home lot
of Thomas Kilbourn, one of the first settlers, came afterwards into the possession of de
scendants of Leonard Chester, who, likewise, was one of said settlers, and is now owned
by Capt. Horace Wells.
t The " Hadley Hopkins School" had its foundation in the bequest of that great and good
man, Edward Hopkins, the second Governor of Connecticut, in his last will and testament,
dated London, March 7, 1657, — which opens in the following solemn manner:
" The sovereign Lord of all creatures giving in evident and strong intimations, of his
pleasure to call me out of this transitory life unto himself, — it is the desire of me Edward
Hopkins to be in a readiness to attend his call in whatsoever hour he cometh, — both by
leaving my soul in the hands of Jesus, who only gives boldness in that day, and delivers
from the wrath to come, — and my body to comely burial, according to the discretion of my
executors and overseers, — and also, by settling my small family, in order, and in pursuance
thereof, do thus dispose of the estate the Lord in mercy hath given me."
The following extracts contain the bequest on which the schools called the Hopkins
Grammar Schools at Hartford and New-Haven were founded :
" And the residue of my estate there, [in New-England] I do hereby give and bequeath to
my father, Theophilus Eaton, Esq., Mr. John Davenport,"_Mr. John Cullick and Mr. William
Goodwin, in full assurance of their trust and faithfulness in disposing of it according to the
true intent and purpose of me the said Edward Hopkins, which is to give some encourage
ment in those foreign plantations for the breeding up of hopeful youths both at the Gram
mar School and College, for the public service of the country in future times."
" My farther mind and will is, that within six months after the decease of my wife, five
hundred pounds be made over into New-England, according to the advice of my loving
friends, Major Robert Tompson and Mr. Francis Willoughby, and conveyed into the hands
of the trustees before mentioned in farther prosecution of the aforesaid public ends, which,
in the simplicity of my heart, are for the upholding and promoting the kingdom of the
Lord Jesus Christ in those distant parts of the earth."
The Trustees named in the will, after disposing of the estate, apportioned the funds real
ized out of the first bequest, in the following manner, as recorded by Trumbull, Vol. I.
page 566.
" The Trustees considering, that by the will of the testator, two of New-Haven were
joined by two of Hartford, and that Mr. Hopkins had declared his purpose to further the
College intended at New-Haven, they agreed that one half of that estate which should be
gathered in, should be paid unto Mr. Davenport for New-Haven, the other half to Captain
Cullick and Mr. Goodwin, to be improved for the uses and ends fore noted where they
should have power to perform their trust, which, because they would not expect to have at
Hartford, they concluded it would be best done by them in that new plantation [HadJey,]
unto which sundry of Hartford were to remove, and were now gone ; yet they agreed that
out of the whole, .£100 should be given to the college at Cambridge, in the Bay ; the estate
being £1,000, as Capt. Cullick [who was the receiver and treasurer thereof,] believed it
would be, which we now see cause to doubt."
It appears probable, that when wholly gathered, the trust estate amounted to more than
was anticipated, as there was apportioned by the Trustees, to Hartford £400, and to Hadley,
" whither sundry of Hartford had gone," £250.
After the death of Mrs. Hopkins, which occurred December, 17,1698, (all the trustees
of Gov. Hopkins being then deceased,) the £400 mentioned in the last extract above given,
was claimed and secured by Harvard College, on application to the Court of Chancery.

" Mr. Philip Smith, aged about fifty Years, a Son of eminently Vertuous Parents,* a
Deacon of the church in Hadley, a Member of the General Court, a Justice in the Countrey
Court, a select Man for the Affairs of the Town, a Lieutenant of the Troop, and which
crowns all, a Man for Devotion Sanctity, Gravity, and all that was honest, exceeding Exem
plary. Such a Man was in the Winter of the Year 1684, murder'd with an hideous Witch
craft, that fill'd all those Parts of New-England with Astonishment. He was, by his Office
concern'd about relieving the Indigences of a wretched Woman in the Town ; who being
dissatisfy'd at some of his just Cares about her, express'd her self unto him in such a manner,
that he declar'd himself thenceforward apprehensive of receiving Mischief at her hands. |
"About the Beginning of January he began to be very Faletudinarious, labouring under
Pains that seem'd Ischiatick. The Standers by could now see in him one ripening apace for
another World, and fill'd with Grace and Joy to an high Degree. He shew'd such Weaned-
ness from and Weariness of the World, that he knew not (he said) whether he might pray
for his Continuance here : And such assurance he had of the Divine Love unto him, that
in Raptures he would cry out, Lord, stay thy hand ; it is enough, it is more than thy frail
Servant can bear. But in the midst of these things he still utter'd an hard Suspicion that
the ill Woman who had threatened him, had made Impressions with Inchantments upon him.
While he remain'd yet of a sound Mind, he very sedately, but very solemnly charg'd his
Brother, to look well after him. Tho', he said, he now understood himself, yet he knew not
how he might be. But be sure, (said he) to have a care of me, for you shall see strange
things. There shall be a Wonder in Hadley ! J shall not be dead, when ''tis thought I am !
He press* d this Charge over and over ; and afterwards became Delirious ; upon which he
had a Speech incessant and valuable, and (as was judg'd) in various Languages. He cry'd
out, not only of Pains, but also of Pins, tormenting him in several parts of his Body ; and
the Attendants found one of them.
" In his Distresses he exclaim'd much upon the Woman aforesaid, and others, as being
seen by him in the Room ; and there was divers times both in that Room, and over the
whole House, a strong Smell of something like Musk, which once particularly so scented an
Apple roasting at the Fire, that it forc'd them to throw it away. Some of the young Men in
the Town being out of their Wits at the strange Calamities thus upon one of their most
belov'd Neighbors went three or four times to give disturbance unto the Woman thus com-
* Philip Smith was son of Samuel Smith, senior, one of the first settlers of Wethersfield,
merchant, and after 1659, of Hadley, (Mass.,) where he died about the beginning of the year
1680.
t As the town of Hadley has grown old, its witches have grown young ; and no unmar
ried descendant of Nathaniel Foote in visiting the beautiful village, need fear encountering
any such mischief as afflicted Lieutenant Philip Smith. The witches of Hadley of this day
and generation, —
" are no longer old
And wrinkled beldames, Satan sold, —
But young and gay and laughing creatures,
With the heart's sunshine on their features."

plain'dof : And all the while they were disturbing of her, he was at ease, and slept as aweary
Man: Yea, these were the only times that they perceiv'd him to take any Sleep in all his Ilness.
QaUy-pots of Medicines provided for the sick Man, were unaccountably empty'd : audible
Scratchings were made about the Bed, when his Hands and Feet lay wholly still, and were
held by others. They beheld Fire sometimes on the Bed ; and when the Beholders began to
discourse of it, it vanish'd away. Divers People actually fell something often stir in the Bed,
at a considerable distance from the Man : It seem'd as big as a Cat, but they could never
grasp it. Several trying to lean on the Bed's head, tho' the sick Man lay wholly still, the
Bed would shake so, as to knock their Heads uncomfortably. A very strong Man could not
lift the sick Man to make him lie more easily, tho' he apply'd his utmost Strength unto it ;
and yet he could go presently and lift a Bed-sted and a Bed, and a Man lying on it, without
any Strain to himself at all. Mr. Smith dies : The Jury that view'd his Corpse, found a
Swelling on one Breast, his Privities wounded or burn'd, his Back full of Bruises, and sev
eral Holes that seern'd made with Awls. After the Opinion of all had pronounced him dead,
his Countenance continued as Lively as if he had been Alive ; his Eyes closed as in a Slum
ber, and his Nether Jaw not falling down.
" Thus he remain'd from Saturday Morning about Sun rise, till Sabbath-day in the After
noon ; when those who took him out of the Bed, found^iim still warm, tho the Season was
as cold as had almost been known in any Age : And a New-English Winter does not want
for Cold. On the Night following his Countenance was yet fresh as before ; but on Monday
morning, they found the Face extreamly tumififd and discolour'd. It was black and blue,
and fresh Blood seem'd running down his Cheek upon the Hairs. Divers Noises were also
heard in the Room where the Corpse lay ; as the Clattering of Chairs and Stools, whereof
no account could be given.
"This was the End of so good a Man.*
" And I could with unquestionable Evidence relate the Tragical Deaths of several Good
Men in this Land, attended with such preternatural Circumstances, which have loudly
call'd upon us all to work out our own Salvation with Fear and Trembling."]
Lieutenant Philip Smith left a will, which is dated January 5,
1684, five days before his death, and recorded at length on Book
I, p. 243, of the Records of the County Court of Hampshire
county, (Mass.,) The following is the opening clause of the
will :—
" In the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and eighty-four, on the fifth day of
January, I, Philip Smith, of Hadley, in the county of Hampshire, within the jurisdiction of
the Massachusetts, in New-England, through God's disposing hand, being ill and weak of
body, and know not how soon this frail life may terminate, — and yet through Grace, of
sound mind and perfect remembrance, do make and ordain this my last will and testament.
" I bequeath and commit this my body and spirit into the hands of my most gracious
God and merciful father, as into the hands of a faithful creator who has magnified his mercy
and free love towards me in my Lord Jesus Christ, in whom I have redemption through his
blood, — the forgivness and remission of my sins through the blessed workings of his Holy
Spirit, working regeneration, and giving testimony of adoption, — who died and arose again,
that I who had deserved death might be quickened together with him unto life eternal ; and
by his resurrection assuring me of the resurrection of my soul and body ; — and so much
the more, in that he hath given me my part in the first resurrection, on whom the second
death hath no power. And as to my body, I desire it may be committed, (after my death,)
to the earth by my Executrix and children, with a comely and Christian burial, — stedfastly
believing, that though it be sown in corruption, yet it shall be raised in incorruption, and
soul and body re-united, to enjoy a full fruition of God himself in heaven, for ever and
ever."
* The dwelling house of Lieut. Philip Smith stood on his home lot of eight acres, situa
ted on the east side of the Village Street, towards the north end. In his will, Lieut. Smith
gave one equal half of this lot with the buildings thereon, to his son Philip, and the other
half to another son, both of whom continued tp occupy their portions for several years.
By sale and conveyance, the shares subsequently, went into the hands of others, — and are
now held and occupied, — the north half, by Mr. John Jones, and the south half, by Mr.
Samuel Bell. The ancient dwelling house standing on the north half of the lot, was built,
as near as can be ascertained, about ] 735, — by one of the Smith's, probably.

XXXV111 INTRODUCTION.
V. Religion, — the church of God with its sabbath and ordinances,
its teaching and pastoral ministry, and its active brotherhood, all
acting in the liberty and simplicity of the Gospel of Christ, was
the chief concern of life, the aim, the animating principle, the
bright result of every movement with our fathers. It was not
primarily for commerce with its rich prizes, — it was not for agri
culture with its plenteous harvests, — it was not for civil liberty
and power, with all its ambitions and excitements, — but for all
these secondary and incidental to what they conceived to be the
true and scriptural idea of the church, — that they left their pleas
ant homes in England, bfaved the perils of a wintry sea, planted
themselves in a howling wilderness, and contended with cold and
famine, and a savage foe more terrible than either. In most in
stances of settlement, a church was organized, a minister set
apart, and provision made for his maintenance, before any remo
vals were made, — and side by side with their own temporary
dwellings ascended the place of worship, rude it is true, but in
keeping with their means and situation.
The following is a List of all the settled Ministers of Wethers-
field, together with those who preached from time to time to sup
ply vacancies.
1. Rev. PETER PRUDEN. He was born at Edgton, in Yorkshire, in 1601 ; was educated
for the ministry, and was a preacher in England before coming to New-England. He arrived
at Boston on the 26th of July, 1637. On the 30th of March, 1638, he with others sailed
for New-Haven, and reached there about the middle of the month, followed by many, —
" that they might enjoy his pious and fervent ministrations." After exploring the country
about New-Haven, Mr. Pruden and his followers decided on settling Wepowaug, the Indian
name for Milford. Whilst the negociation for that place was going on, and the people
were preparing to remove, Mr. Pruden supplied the pulpit at Wethersfield, and probably re
mained in the town till near the time of his installation as Pastor of the church at Milford,
which took place, at New-Haven, April 18, 1640. Several of the people of Wethersfield
became so attached to Mr. Pruden, that they followed him to Milford, and were among the
first and principal settlers of the town. He died in July, 1656, in the 56th year of his age.
Mr. Pruden was a distinguished peacemaker and was much beloved and reverenced by his
people. " His Death," says the Rev. Cotton Mather, " was felt by the Colony as the Fall of a
Pillar, which made the whole Fabric to shake."
[Rev. RICHARD DENTON. He was a preacher in Halifax, England, and came over to
New-England between 1630 and 1635. He was among the first Settlers of Wethersfield,
but occasionally exercised his profession while in that place. He removed with a part of
the church to Rippowoms, (Stamford,) in 1641, and was the first Minister of that place.
After remaining in Stamford a few years, Mr. Denton with some of the principal men of the
plantation again removed, went to Long-Island, and began the town of Hempstead. He con
tinued the minister of that place until his death which occurred in the year 1663. Rev.
Doct. Mather, in his Magnalia, thus speaks of Mr. Denton. " First at Wether sfieid, and then
at Stamford, his Doctrine drop't as the Rain, his Speech distilled as the Dew, as the small Rain
upon the tender Herb, and as the Shoio'rs upon the Grass.'"]
2. Rev. HENRY SMITH. The first notice which we have of him is on the Records of the
first church in Charlestown, (Mass.,) where according to an entry therein, himself and Dora-
thy his wife were admitted to the full communion of the church on the 5th of the 10th
month, 1637. Mr. Smith was the first settled Pastor of the church in Wethersfield. As
INTRODUCTION. XXxix
near as can be ascertained, he was installed in the Spring of the year 1641, at which time
the church was regularly organized. Mr. Smith died in 1648. But little is known of his
ministry, as not a vestige of a church record is to be found during his life.*
3. Rev. JOHN RUSSELL, JUN. He was ordained in about the year 1649, and remained in
Wethersfield about ten years. In 1659, he with others commenced the settlement of Had-
ley, (Mass.) He was the first Pastor of the church in that place, and died December 10,
1692, in the 66th year of his age. He was the son of John Russell, first of Cambridge,
(Mass.,) afterwards of Wethersfield, (Conn.,) until 1659, when he removed to Hadley, (Mass.)
4. Rev. JOHN COTTON. He was son of Rev. John Cotton, second minister of the first
church in Boston. He preached from 1659, to 1663, and afterwards settled in ihe ministry
at Charleston, (S. C.,) where he died September 18, 1699, in the 60th year of his age.
5. Rev. JOSEPH HAYNES. He was the son of John Haynes, the first Governor of Con
necticut. He preached two years, 1663, and 1664, — and in 1664, was ordained Pastor of
the first church in Hartford, and was the fourth Pastor of that church. He died May 14,
1679, aged 38.
6. Rev. THOMAS BUCKINGHAM. " At a Town Meeting, August 15, 1664. It was voted
and agreed by the town of Wethersfield, to give Mr. Buckingham 20 shillings per week for a
quarter of a year to come, for his help in the ministry." Mr. Buckingham was then residing
in Hartford. He preached at Wethersfield a few sabbaths only. He was the son of Mr.
Thomas Buckingham, of New-Haven, who in 1639, went thence to Milford, (Conn.,) with
the first settlers of that place, and died in Boston, (Mass.,) whither he had gone on business,
in 1657. Rev. Thomas Buckingham was born at Milford, in November, 1646, and during
his residence in Hartford, was married on the 20th of September, 1666, to Esther Hosmer,
daughter of Thomas Hosmer, one of the first settlers of that place. He received a call from
the church at Saybrook, and was ordained its Pastor in 1670. He died April 1, 1709, in
the 63d year of his age. His nephew, Thomas Buckingham, born March 1, 1671, at Mil-
ford, (Conn.,) — graduated at Harvard College, 1690, died November 19, 1731, in the 61st
year of his age, was second Pastor of the second church in Hartford. He was son of Elder
Daniel Buckingham, of Milford.
7. Rev. JONATHAN WILLOUGHBY. He was the son of Francis Willoughby, of Charles-
town, (Mass.,) Lieut. Governor of that State. He commenced preaching, on his agree
ment to stay one year, on the 26th of September, 1664, — and on the same day in the year
next following, he signified his desire to remain 'till the latter part of May following, and
then to be transported back to the Bay, according to the original stipulation with him,
which was performed by the town.
8. Rev. SAMUEL STONE. He was son of Rev. Samuel Stone, second minister of Hartford.
He had been previously settled at Simsbury, (Conn.) He preached a short time, and after
that was associated with Rev. Gershom Bulckley. Their united ministry continued until
the 9th of June, 1669, when Mr. Stone withdrew. Mr. Stone died at Hartford, July 20,
1673, aged about 60 years.
9. Rev. GERSHOM BULCKLEY. He was son of Rev. Peter Bulckley, the first minister of
Concord, (Mass.,) and of Grace Bulckley, his second wife, daughter of Sir Richard Chit-
wood. He had been Pastor of the church in New-London. Was installed in Wethersfield
in 1666. He preached from 1666, to 1677, when being out of health, he solicited a dis
mission, which was granted, and relinquished the ministry ; but being in the prime of life,
and having previously passed a regular course of surgical and medical studies, he com
menced practice, arid soon became one of the most eminent and skillful practitioners in the
colony. He died in 1713, aged 78 years. His descendants are numerous in Connecticut,
and many of them have been eminent men in their day.
10. Rev. JOSEPH ROWLANDSON. At a Town Meeting, April 7, 1677, — the Town invited
"Rev. Mr. Rowlandson, lately a minister of the church of Lancaster, in the Bay Colony, to
become their minister," — which he accepted, and was installed in that year. But his min
istry was of short continuance, being finished by his death, which occurred November 24,
1678. He was the son of Thomas Rowlandson, — was educated at Harvard College, and
graduated in 1652, — being the whole class. He went to Lancaster, (Mass.,) in 1664, was
ordained there 1660, and continued in the town until it was broken up and destroyed by the
Indians, — of which destruction, the Rev. Doct. Cotton Mather, in his Magnalia, Book VII.
Chap. VI. Sec. 11, gives the following narration. " February 10, 1674. The French from

on Feb. 10, fell upon the Town of Lancaster, where they Burned many Houses, and mur
dered and Captivated more than Forty Persons. The Worthy minister of the Town, Mr.
Roland.ton, had been at Boston, to Intercede for some speedy Succors ; and though by this
Journey from Home he was himself preserved, yet at his return he found his House on
Fire, his Goods and Books all burned, and which was worse, his Wife and Children, and
Neighbours, in the Hands of the worst Barbarians in the World. This good Man, like
David at Ziklag; yet believed, for the Recovery of his Relations out of those horrible
Hands, which about Four or Five months after was accomplished with wonderful Dispen
sations of Divine Providence, whereof the Gentlewoman herself has given us a Printed
Narrative"*
11. Rev. JOHN WOODBRIDGE. He was son of Rev. John Woodbridge, first Minister of
Andover, (Mass.,) — was graduated at Harvard College, 1664, — ordained as Pastor of the
church at Killingvvorth, (Conn.,) 1666, and removed to Wethersfield, and was installed
Pastor of the church in that place, 1679, and continued such to the time of his death,
which occurred in 1691.
" Whiting; of Hartford, Woodbridge, of Wethersfield, Wakeman, of Fail-field" says the
Rev. Doct Mather, in his Magnalia, " will never be forgotten, till Connecticut Colony do for
get itself and all Religion."
12. Rev. WILLIAM PARTRIDGE. He was son of Col. Samuel Partridge, of Hatfield,
(Mass.) and of Mehitabel .his wife, daughter of John Crow, and grand-daughter of Elder
William Goodwin, and was born November, 16, 1669. He was educated at Harvard Col
lege, and graduated in 1689. For several years previous to his death, Mr. Woodbridge was
unable to discharge his ministerial duties, on account of bodily infirmity, and the town pro
cured Mr. Partridge to assist him. Mr. Partridge continued in the town from September,
1691, to February, 1693. when the Church and town invited him to settle with them, — but
he declined the invitation. Of his death, I find the following entry on the Hatfield Records :
" William, son of Samuel and Mehitabel Partridge, died at Wallingford, September 24, 1693,
being then about twenty-four years, old."
13. Rev. STEPHEN Mix. He was ordained in 1694, and died August 28, 1738, aged 66.
He is represented to have been a man of superior talents, piety and influence.! Mr. Mix
* By the Narrative of Mrs. Rowlandson it appears, — that at the time of the destruction
of Lancaster, the family of Rev. Mr. Rowlandson consisted of his wife, — Mary, who was
daughter of John White, and children, Joseph, born March 2, 1661, Mary, born 1665, and
Sarah, born September 15, 1669 ; — that the last named child died from wounds received
from the Indians, February 18, 1676, — and that Mrs. Rowlandson, with the other children,
after a season of intense sufferings for eleven weeks and five days, (that being the time they
were with the enemy.) were redeemed by fur\ds furnished by the friends of the family.
t The courtship of Mr. Mix is too amusing to be omitted. It is therefore subjoined. It is
taken from the manuscript Collections of Judge Franklin Comstock, late of Wethersfield,
deceased.
11 Soon after .his settlement, he (Mr. Mix.) made a journey to Northampton, (Mass.,) 'in
search of a wife.' On his arrival at Rev. Mr. Solomon Stoddard's, he made him acquainted
with the object of his visit, and informed him that the pressure of duties at home made it
necessary that he should proceed with all possible dispatch. Mr. Stoddard immediately took
him into the room where his daughters were, and introduced him to Mary, Esther, Chris
tiana, Sarah, Rebeckah and Hannah, and retired Mr. Mix lost no time in proceeding to
business ; but addressing Mary, the eldest daughter, said he had lately been settled in the
Ministry at Wethersfield, and was desirous of obtaining a wife, and concluded by offering
her his heart and hand. She, blushingly, replied, that the proposition was as unexpected
as it was important, and required lime for consideration. He rejoined, that he was not in
sensible of the solemnity of the marriage covenant, and was gratified to discover her un
willingness to enter into it, without suitable time for reflection, — that in order to give her
an opportunity to reflect upon the subject, he would walk into the other room and smoke a
pipe of tobacco with her father, and she could report to him. Having smoked his pipe,
and sent a message to Mary that he was ready to receive her answer, she came into the
room and asked for further time for consideration. He replied that she could reflect longer
upon the subject, and communicate her decision by letter, addressed to him at Wethersfield.
A few weeks afterwards, he received the following laconic epistle, which concluded the
courtship, and prepared the way for the marriage : —
" Northampton, 1696.
"Rev. Stephen Mix,
" Yes.
Mary Stoddard."
They were married on the 1st of December, 1696.
INTRODUCTION'. xli
was son and youngest child of Thomas Mix, of New-Haven, (Conn.,) and of his wife Re
becca, daughter of Capt. Nathaniel Turner, of the same place. He was born November 1,
1672, and educated at Harvard College, where he graduated in 1690. Capt. Turner was
of Lynn, (Mass.,) in 1630, and removed thence to New-Haven in 1638 He was lost at sea
in Mr. Lamberton's ship, which sailed from New-Haven, in January, 1646, as was, likewise,
Thomas Gregson, of the same place, whose daughter Phebe afterwards became the wife of
Rev. John Russell, jun., second settled Minister of Wethersfield, and first Minister of Had-
ley, (Mass.) She was his third wife, and at the time of her marriage to him was the widow
of Rev. John Whiting, dec., third Minister of Hartford.
14. Rev. JAMES LOCKWOOD. He was ordained February 28, 1739, and died July 20,
1772, aged 59, having been 33 years in the ministry. He was a pre-eminent scholar and
Minister. He was invited to fill the highest office in the College at New-Haven, (Conn.,) and
Princeton, (N. J.,) but his affection for the people of his charge did not permit him to accept.
Mr. Lockwood was son of James Lockwood, of Norwalk, (Conn.,) where he was born De
cember 20, 1714 ; — grandson of Ephraim Lockwood, of the same town, and great-grandson
of Robert Lockwood, of Watertown, (Mass.,) in 1634, and who removed early from that
town, with his family, to Fairfield, (Conn.,) where he died in or about the year 1658, leaving
a will which is dated September 11, of the same year.
Rev. Samuel Lockwood, born November 30, 1721, and died June 18, 1791, who was Pastor
of the Congregational church in Andover, (Conn.,) was brother of Rev. James Lockwood.
15. Rev. JOHN MARSH. He was ordained January 12, 1774, and died September 13,
1821, in the 79th year of his age. Mr. Marsh was son of Deacon David Marsh, of Haver-
hill, (Mass.,) in which place he was born November 2, 1742. His mother was Mary Moody,
daughter of Cutting Moody, of Newbury, (Mass.,) son of Samuel Moody, of that place, whose
father, William Moody, according to Farmar, came from Wales, [Tradition,] as early as
1634, was admitted freeman 1635, and after a. short residence in Ipswich, settled in New
bury, where he died October 25, 1673. Samuel Moody's wife, to whom he was married
November 30, 1657, was Mary Cutting. The character of the Rev. Dr. Marsh was that of
an able and faithful servant of his Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.
Mr. William Moody was father of the Rev. Joshua Moody, a famous preacher in Ports
mouth, (N. H.,) 1658, (and who while Cranfield was Governor of that State, was by him
imprisoned for 1 3 weeks because he did net administer the Lord's Supper after the way of
the Church of England, — and silenced.) He was likewise ancestor of several other minis
ters of his name who were eminent in their day.
16. Rev. CALEB J. TKNNEY. He was a native of Hollis, (N. H.,) and was ordained as Pas
tor of the Congregational church in Newport, (R. I.,) Was installed as Colleague with the
Rev. Dr. Marsh, March 27, 1816. Left from loss of voice. Died at Northampton, (Mass.,)
September 28, 1847, aged 68. He enjoyed a high reputation for great purity and simplici
ty of character.
17. Rev. CHARLES J. WARREN, was installed as Colleague with the Rev. Doct. Tenney,
July 1, 1835. Dismissed February 1, 1837.
18. Rev. ROBERT SOUTHGATE. He was a native of Portland, (Maine,) and was installed
as Colleague with Rev. Doct. Tenney, February 7, 1838, and dismissed November 22, 1843.
19. Rev. Dr. MARK TUCKER, the present respected Pastor. He is a native of Whites-
town, (N. Y.,) and was ordained Pastor of the Congregational church in Stillwater, in that
State, October 8, 1817. He was installed as Pastor of the church in Wethersfield, October
15, 1845.
Doct. Tucker informs me that his first wife was a descendant of Rev. John Russell, jun.,
the second ordained Minister of Wethersfield, and first Minister of Hadley, (Mass.,) in the
line of his son Samuel Russell, the second Minister of Branford, (Conn.) She was Harriet
Lord, daughter of Russell Lord, first of Saybrook, (Conn.,) afterwards of Troy, (N. Y.)
And I mention the fact, as showing a coincidence worthy of being noted in this place,
that descendants of the Rev. John Russell, jun., are now found worshipping with the church
of which, nearly two hundred years ago, he was Pastor, — in the persons of the children of
Rev. Dr. Tucker, the present Pastor of the same church, by his first wife.
I think it not improbable, that Russell Lord was a descendant of Thomas Lord, one of the
first settlers of Hartford, in the line of his son William, who settled in Saybrook, (Conn.)
Rev. John Russell, jun., married, for his second wife, Rebecca Newbury, daughter of
Thomas Newbury, one of the first settlers of Windsor, (Conn.,) (but who died almost imme
diately after his arrival at that place.) She was the mother of the Rev. William Russell,
the second Minister of Branford.

Xlii INTRODUCTION.
The veneration and regard manifested by the early colonists
towards their Minister, ceased not with his death, but was trans
ferred to his widow and children, for whose comfort it was almost
common law to make suitable provision. The following votes
are copied from the Town Records of Wethersfield :
At a Town Meeting, February 22, 1650. " It was voted this day in a lawful Town Meet
ing, that the Town would give Mistress Smith* ten pounds a year towards her mainte
nance ; and is to be added for the collection of it for her, unto Mr. Russell's rate of fifty
pounds ; and his fifty is to be made sixty to pay her ten pounds."
Jit a Town Meeting, October 22, 1650. "It was voted this day in a full Town Meeting,
that the Town would give Mistress Smith ten pounds a year towards her maintenance."
Jit a Town Meeting, November 27, 1668. "Voted that Mrs. Rowlandsonf shall have
allowed for this present year, Mr. Rowlandson's whole year's rate, and what was formerly
promised, — which, in all, will amount to six score pounds ; and from henceforth the Town
shall allow the said Mrs. Rowlandson, thirty pounds a year so long as she shall remain a
widow amongst us."
Jit a, Town Meeting, March 18, 1678-79. "Voted that the Town shall pay three pounds
to Mrs. Rowlandson, in the next year's rate, in consideration of defraying the charges of the
funeral of the Rev. Mr. Joseph Rowlandson."
Jit a Town Meeting, December 25, 1682. " It was voted by the Town of Wethersfield to
give Mr. Woodbridge twenty pounds for the defraying of his extraordinary charges the
present year.
Jit a Town Meeting, December 25, 1693. "The Town, by vote, granted to Mrs. Abigail
Woodbridge.t for her comfprt and maintenance, the sum of twenty pounds."
Jit a Town Meeting, December 20, 1694. "Voted that the Selectmen shall hire a con
venient house for Mrs. Woodbridge for the next year, — the rent to be paid by the town."
At a Towm Meeting, March 19, 1695-96. " Voted that the Selectmen be empowered to
hire a convenient house upon the town charge, for Mrs. Woodbridge, for the year 1696."
At a Town Meeting, December 27, 1697. "At this Meeting the Town voted to Mrs.
Woodbridge the sum of fifteen pounds for her encouragement and maintenance for the
present year."
Jit a Town Meeting, July 12, 1698. " At %this Meeting the Town granted unto Mrs.
Abigail Woodbridge, twenty pounds."
Jit a Town Meeting, December 29, 1701. "The Town voted twelve pounds to Mrs.
Abigail Woodbridge, for her relief and maintenance."
The first Meeting House in Wethersfield, like that in Hartford,
was probably built of logs. It stood on the Green or Public
Square, a few paces southwestwardly of the site of the present
house.
The second Meeting House was a frame building, and was
erected on the site of the first, and appears to have been built in
1647, as in the year next following, the town ordered sundry
debts contracted for its construction to be paid.
* Dorathy Smith, widow of Rev. Henry Smith. She afterwards married John Russell,
senior, father of Rev. John Russell, jun., the successor of Mr. Smith in the ministry, and
went with him tolladley, (Mass.,) in 1659.
t Widow of Rev. Joseph Rowlandson, deceased.
\ Widow of Rev. John Woodbridge, deceased.
INTRODUCTION.
" To Goodwife Kirkum's husband, for two day's work in the meeting house, 3s. 4rf."
"To Goodman Edwards, 30 shillings, for his man sawing of the planks for the seats."
"To Joshua Jennings, for setting up the Minister's desk, 20 shillings and one penny."
"To Joshua Jennings, the joiner, first payment towards the setting up the seats in the
Meeting House, 9 pounds."
" Due for the hinging of the Meeting House, 2 pounds 10 shillings."
In or about the year 1680, the subject of a new Meeting House
engrossed the attention of the town. The old one was not only
insufficient in size for the accommodation of the inhabitants, but
was somewhat dilapidated. Although ail agreed that a larger
house had become necessary, yet the people were not united as to
the time when it should be built. At length, at a Town Meeting,
July 28, 1685, the following "motion" was made and carried : —
"Moved, that the present Townsmen shall have power to set up four pillars within the
Meeting House, and as many shoars on the outside as shall be needful, at the Town
charge."
This vote seems to have united all minds for the speedy con
struction of a new house ; for at a Town Meeting August 28,
1685, it was
" Voted and agreed by the inhabitants that there should be a Meeting House built by the
town of fifty foot square ; and Capt. Samuel Talcott, Mr. Samuel Wolcott, Mr. Nathaniel
Boreman, Serj. John Deming, Serj. John Robbins, Samuel Butler, Mr. John Buttolph, Samuel
Hale and Samuel Smith, are chosen a committee to take care about the building and carry
ing on the said work."
This house, was constructed on the same green, or square on
which the two first had stood, and had the great door of entrance
on the east side, the pulpit on the west side, and a door of entrance
in the middle both of the north and the south side. The roof was
steep, and rose from each side to a point, which was surmounted
by a belfry, (in which a bell was suspended,) and a spire, with a
vane to indicate the direction of the wind. On each side of the
roof the Town voted in May, 1686, to insert " Dorman windows.'3
The new house being completed, at a Town Meeting, January
9, 16*£, it was
" Voted, that the old Meeting House be sold for eight pounds and one shilling, to be paid
next year, to Nathaniel Foote, Ensign Robert Welles, Nathaniel Butler and Ebenezer Kil-
bourn, — who were jointly and severally bound to the town for the payment of said eight
pounds and one shilling."
With all their love for the Democratic principle, both in Church
and State, our fathers were for doing all things even in the seat
ing of the Meeting House, in decency and order, as is shown in
the following vote passed in Town Meeting December 9, 1717 :

person whose estate is settled December 10, 1781, on which administration is granted to his

is made February 11, 1782, to his widow and his brothers and sisters of the whole blood, —

* I am indebted to Lewis M. Norton, Esq., of Goshen, (Conn.,) descendant of Thomas
Norton, one of the first settlers of Guilford, in the same State, for copies, as they appear
in this work, of the Family Records of Aaron Norton, of Goshen, who married Martha
Foote ; Brewin Baldwin, of the same town, who married Hannah Foote, and Philo Collins,
of the same town, who married Olive Foote.
I understand that Mr. Norton has been many years gathering Genealogical Statistics and
Family History of the first settlers of Goshen, and their descendants ; and that his compila
tions on the subject, cover, in manuscript, 600 pages foolscap. For these labors of love, he
is entitled to the regard of the present seneration, and will receive the thanks of many suc
ceeding generations of the first settlers of his town.
Mr. Norton is connected by marriage, — as will be seen by No. 1333, of descendants,
page 136, — with the family of Nathaniel Foote, — the highest evidence which he could give
of his taste and practical good sense ; — for wives chosen out of this stock are apt to realize
the Portraiture, of the Virtuous Woman, as drawn by the Wise Man, in Proverbs xxxi.

Be it known to you, that I have examined Miss Lucinda Foote, — twelve years old, — and
have found that in the Learned languages, — the Latin and the Greek, — she has made com
mendable progress, — giving the true meaning of passages in the Eneid of Virgil, the Select
Orations of Cicero, and in the Greek Testament ; and that she is fully qualified, except in
regard to sex, to be received, as a Pupil of the Freshman Class in Yale University. Given
in the College Library, the 22 of December, 1783.
EZRA STILES, President."
She pursued a full course of College Studies, and also studied the Hebrew, with President

GENEALOGICAL NOTES
OF
PASCO FOOTE,
ONE OF THE EARLY SETTLERS OF SALEM, (MASS.)
In the outset of this investigation, it was supposed that Pasco
Foote, of Salem, (Mass.,) was a brother of Nathaniel Foote, of
Wethersfield, (Conn.,) — but no evidence has come to light to show
that they were brothers, or that the two were even descended from
the same stock, or common ancestor.
In the following communication, the descendants of Pasco Foote, through Isaac Foote, one
of the sons, only, are given. Hon. Caleb Foote is one of these descendants. He was late
a Member of the House of Representatives of the Legislature of Massachusetts, and several
years a Member of the Executive Council of that State.

who, in that year, was taken and tortured to death by the Indians, as mentioned by Cotton
Mather in the following extract :
"The same Week," in July, 1690, "these Rovers," (the Indians,) "made their Descent,
as far as Amesbury, where Captain Foote being Ensnared by them, they Tortured him to
Death ; which Disaster of the Captain was an Alarum to the Town, and an Effectual Word
of Command, causing 'em to fly out of their Beds into their Garrisons ; otherwise they had
all undoubtedly before next Morning slept their last ; their Beds would have been their
Graves. However, the Enemy Kill'd Three Persons, Burnt Three Houses, Butcher'd many
Cattel ; and so that Scene of the Tragedy being over, away they went." — Mather's Magnalia,

1686, I find,
Samuel Foote, son to John and Bathsheba Foote, born March 3, 1691. Mehitabel Foote,
daughter to John and Bathsheba Foote, born March 30, 1694. John Foote, son to John

now inhabitants of this town.
There is a Foote living in Newburyport, five miles from this town, who is blind. He is
related to the Footes in this place.
IV. Notes communicated to the same by Enoch Foote, Esq., of Haverhill, (Mass.)
In Amesbury, I conversed with an aged lady, the widow of Theophilus Foote, jun., who
was son to Theophilus Foote, that you have on your Records, who was born March 2, 1713.
She says her husband was born in 1746, and died in 1830, 'and that he had four brothers,
viz : Chelis, Fasco, Thomas and Samuel. She thinks Chelis settled in New-Hampshire, and
Samuel, in the State of Maine.
By all the information I have been able to obtain, I think that Capt. Foote, who was mas
sacred by the Indians in 1690, had a son John, and that John had a son Samuel, born about
1690, and that Samuel had sons, Pasco, born in 1711, — and Theophilus, born in 1713: That
Theophilus had a son Theophilus, born 1746, the husband of the aged lady before mention
ed, who had six sons. viz. Ephraim, Lowell, Robert, John, James and William.
I have one son and two daughters, all settled in life. George, my son, resides in Brad

VIII. Notes communicated to Elial T. Foote, Esq., of New-Haven, by Hon. Caleb Foote, of
Salem, (Mass.)
The Probate Records are mingled with others, in the Quarterly Court Records, up to the
year 1692. The only references to the name of Foote in Probate entries, are the following:
1671. 4th ino. Isaac Foote presented the last will and testament of his father, Pasco
Foote, deceased. By this will, the testator divided his property between his sons, Isaac,
Pasco, Samuel, and daughters Elizabeth, Mary and Abigail.
I have just made a thorough examination of our Town Records of Marriages and Deaths,
and rind the only references to the name of Foote to be the following :

Zacharias Foote married Elizabeth Ives, January 5, 1762.

IX. Notes communicated by Elial T. Foote, Esq., of New- Haven, (Conn.)
Of Jeff, or Jeffrey Foote, late of Milford, I have the following relation from Mrs. Sarah B.
Foote, of New-Haven, widow of John Foote, late of Milford, and mother of children, mostly
residents in New-Haven.
*' My husband's father, Jeff Foote, so called, died before I was born, and when my husband
was only three years old. He died at sea, and his wife, whose maiden name was Hepzibah
Tyrrel, of Milford, died soon after her husband was lost at sea, and when her second child
David was but seven days old. John and David were the only children of Jeffrey and Hepzi
bah Foote, and after the death of their parents, they went to live with their grandmother, Mary
Tibbals, of Milford, who was a widow woman. She raised John to manhood, when he married
informant, Sarah Baldwin, daughter of Isaac Baldwin, of Milford. The other son, David,
married Polly Munson, daughter of Daniel Munson, of Milford, who, soon after marriage,
removed to Bristol, (Conn..) where, she thinks, he raised a family of eight or nine children.
Can give no further information about David, but thinks he was born in August, 1771, and
married at about 21 years of age. Mrs. Tibbals often related to informant, that Jeffrey
Foote was brought to Milford, when a small boy, as a cabin boy. from Newfoundland, by a
Captain Hibbon, of Milford, and followed the seas, sailing with him until he died. He after-
terwards went to sea, and was lost with the vessel. Informant says, her husband's mother,
(with whom she was well acquainted,) often stated, that Jeff Foote told her that his mother
was a widow woman, with a large family of children, residing at Newfoundland, and that
it was by consent of his mother that he went on Capt. Hibbon's vessel."
John Foote, son of Jeff and Hepzibah Foote, was born in Milford, (Conn.,) September 24,
1768, and was married to Sarah Baldwin, daughter of Isaac Baldwin, of that town, Sep
tember 24, 1788, — the day he was 20 years of age. She was born in Milford, March 5,
1772. Mr. John Foote died October 11, 1833, aged 65. They had a numerous family of
children, one of whom Joel B. Foote, resides in New-Haven, (Conn.)
David Foote, the other son of Jeff Foote, died at Sidney, in the State of New- York, (where
one of bis sons dwells,) November 18, 1838, aged 67. His widow is now, or was lately
living in that town.
X. Additional Notes.
I copied the following entry of marriage from the Town Records of marriages, births
and deaths, of Killingworth, in this State.
" Pasco Foote and Margaret Stallion married the 30th of November, 1678," — and found on
the Records of the Hon. Court of Probate for the District of Fairfield, a Record of a Bill of
Sale, by way of gift, executed by Edward Stallion, of New-London, (Conn.,) of " one half
of my br.igantiAe, called the Edward and Margaret, to Pasco Foote, of the same town, who
married my daughter Margaret." It is dated April 7, 1683.
Edward Stallion was an inhabitant of Killingworth from about 1671 to 1679, as appears
by the Records of the town. In 1679, March 5, he conveyed his house, home-lot, and
other lands in Killingworth, to Augustus Williams, and removed to New-London, in the
same State.
The following extract from a letter addressed to the Compiler by Miss F. M. Caulkins,
Author of the History of Norwich, and now engaged on a History of New- London, contains
some additional facts of interest:
" I have met with the name of Pasco Foote on our early town Records, but the informa
tion gleaned from them is very scanty. Only partial glimpses can be obtained of him, and
those are from deeds and incidental allusions, with the single exception of his marriage,
which is recorded here and agrees with the registry quoted by you. I am at a loss to con
ceive why it should have been recorded at Killingworth, as 1 had supposed the event took
place here, and that the parties resided here.
Our clerks were no more expert in orthography than others of their age, — and I find the
name written with the variations of Pasco, Pascor, Pasquo. No autograph is found. He
only appears as the son-in-law of Edward Stallion, and is said to be '' of Newfoundland."
From circumstances I infer that he was a mariner and trader, passing to and fro, as others
did at that period ; for our port had then frequent direct intercourse with that island He
is soon lost to our view, and I had supposed that he might have died abroad, or been lost
at sea, not long after his marriage. I have found no trace of any child but Isaac, whom his
grandfather, Edward Stallion, adopted, and to whom he gave his own name. He is desig
nated in deeds of gift from his grandfather, " Isaac, alias Stallion Foote," — and is elsewhere
alluded to, as simply, Stallion Foote. He sold estate here after 1700.
The relict of Pasco Foote married a Haynes. I infer this from documents wherein Mar
garet Haines, or Haynes, is called the daughter of Edward Stallion, and inherits estate from
him. Her husband was probably James Haynes, for children of " James and Margaret
Haynes," are recorded here, commencing August 1, 1689.
294 GENEALOGICAL NOTES
Edward Stallion's vessel, the " Edward and Margaret," was built here. It is probable that
Pasco Foote went sometimes in her as master and supercargo, and the conveyance to him
of half the vessel would serve to give him credit abroad. New- London had from 1660
and onwards, an exchange trade with Milford, Norwalk and other ports along the coast to
New-York : we can thus approximate to a reason why the bill of sale should have been
recorded in Fairfield County. But it must be allowed that the Probate records is rather an
out-of-the-way place for such an entry.
I will here add, that Pasco Foote, about the time of his marriage with Margaret Stallion,
bought a house in New-London. This was one reason that led me to conclude that he re
sided here. I have never found any notice of the sale of the house afterwards."

II. JOHN FOOTK, LATE OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, (INDIANA,) AND HIS FAMILY.
Notes communicated by Elial T. Foote, Esq., of New-Haven, (Conn.)
John Foote was born in Dublin, Ireland, about the year 1758. In the year 1774, he was,
with his widowed mother, on a visit to a relative, in a neighboring seaport, about twelve
miles from Dublin, where he was seized by a press-gang, and taken to Scotland, where he
was drilled about two years, as a soldier, and then sent to America, under Cornwallis, A. D.,
1776, and served under that officer in all his battles, excepting at Yorktown, as he was then
sick in the hospital at Charleston, (S. C.)
At the close of the Revolutionary War, he went to North Carolina, being unwilling to
remain with the British army. He remained in North Carolina, and resided mostly in
Graysonand Rowan Counties, until the year 1800, when he removed to Kentucky.
In the war of 1812, with Great Britain, he volunteered and entered the army, under Gen
eral Jackson, and served until peace.
In the year 1819, he removed with his family to the State of Indiana, where he died, in
Montgomery County, in February, 1841, aged 83. He was a hardy, athletic man, and all
soldier. In his latter days, he used to remark in his ironical manner, that he had served
faithfully through two wars, one for the King, and another for his Country, — still, in his old
age, he received no pension ; whereas many were thus rewarded, who had not done half the
service in either.
John Foote had six sons and three daughters, viz :
1. William, born in Grayson County, (N. C.,) 1786. Married to Elizabeth Coil, 1812, and
removed to Indiana, in 1818. Is a farmer, living in Montgomery County, (Ind.,) and has 2
sons, , born 1814, and Thomas, born 1820, and six daughters.
2. Philip, born in Grayson County, (N. C.,) 1788. Married Elizabeth Balinger, in Ken
tucky, 1818, and had three children, viz: John Wesley, who married in 1841, and has four
children, and removed to Texas. William, who married and has children, and lives in Or
ange County, (Ind.) Lavinia, who married and removed to Texas.
3. Frank, born 1790, in Rowan County, (N. C.) Married, and lives in Morgan County,
(Ind.,) and has one son.
4. Polly. Married Solomon Wilson, and lives in Illinois.
5. Eleanor. Married Ezekiel Trusty, and resides in Morgan County, (Ind.)
6. John, born 1796, in Rowan County, (N. C.) Married Catharine Quackenbush, daugh
ter of Peter duackenbush, February, 1823, and resides in Lawrence County, (Ind.,) and has
four daughters.
7. Sally. Married John Quackenbush for first husband, and John Freeman, for second

Jackson, Mississippi, February 23, 1846.
DEAR SIR :
Your interesting communication, under date of the 30th u!t., reached its destination in
due course of mail, and I hasten to respond to it. Accept the offer of my hearty gratitude
for the sympathetic regard manifested throughout your epistle. I feel most sensibly, I as
sure you, the respect implied in your affectionate letter of inquiry ; and I shall experience
not a little chagrin, believe me, if it turns out, after all, that we are not kinsmen, in some
degree, either proximate or remote. I regret that it is not in my power to give you that full
and authentic statement of genealogical facts which you desire ; and am decidedly grieved
at being constrained to apprehend, that a full scrutiny of family history will but tend to
show that, though obviously descended from the same British forefathers, we do not stand
so nearly related as suggested in your letter. However this may eventuate though, I had no
sooner read your letter, than I determined to transmit it to the oldest relative of my name
now living.— -Col. William Ha.ywa.rd Foote, of Hay field, near Alexandria (D C.,) he being
an elderly gentleman of three score and ten, of high intelligence, of great family pride, and
remarkable for his minute and accurate knowledge of genealogical details, I have requested
him to address you a letter containing such particulars as he may suppose of a nature inter
esting to you ; and I think he will hardly fail to comply with this request, if his present
state of health will allow of it.
Meanwhile, from my slender store, I will state one or two facts which I hope may not
prove altogether uninteresting. 1 have heard from my father, who died in the year 1817,
when I was but thirteen years of age, that the first Foote who came to Virginia, some two
hundred years ago, more or less, was a younger brother of an opulent family resident in
Truroe, of Cornwall. His name was Richard. His elder brother, whom he left behind him,
died after his settlement in Virginia, and thus, by right of primogeniture, he succeeded to
the family estates across the waters ; or rather to the titles ; for the estates he never got,
neglecting, in season, to take the necessary steps to secure the enjoyment of his right of
heirship. However this may be, I have seen various letters from Lord Mansfield, (then Mr.
Murray,) to one of the children, or grand-children, I will not be certain which, who was an
ancestor of mine, touching a suit then pending about these estates ; which family tradition
reports were finally lost by gross neglect, either in client or counsel, or both. This Richard
Foote had a large grant, from Lord Fairfax, including much of the most valuable land inclu
ded in the Northern neck of Virginia, in connection with three other grantees, Briscoe, (who
forfeited his lands as a traitor in the revolutionary war.) Brent, whose descendants are nu
merous and distinguished, now in Virginia, Maryland and Louisiana, and Hayvvard, who
died some hundred and fifty years ago, in the island of Zante, in the Adriatic sea. The very
land I sold when, twenty years ago, 1 left the old dominion, was a part of this ancient grant.
Tradition, quite distinct, and fully relied on, assures us, that about the time that our ances
tor came from England, a brother of the same name settled in New England ; and we have
looked, for many years past, to the New England Foote family, as unquestionably relatives
of ours. Tradition, equally distinct, and old letters still extant, assure us. that a sister of
the Richard Foote spoken of, married the celebrated republican jurist, Brarlshaw, th« friend
of Cromwell, and one of the Judges of Charles I. The portrait of this lady is. I believe, still
preserved in Virginia, and was some years ago very highly prized by those who then owned
it. How many generations have intervened between the aforesaid Richard and myself. I
am. unable to say. My father's name was Richard, born in 1773 : his father's name was
George, one of two sons. Richard, his elder brother, and father to the gentleman to whom
your letter has been sent for fuller reply, being the other and eldest. Their father's name
was Richard, who lived and died on the banks of the Potomac, long before the Revolution,
on land now owned by my kinsmen. This Richard, my great-grand-father. had numerous
brothers and sisters, the descendants of whom are widely scattered through North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky and Texas. All of the name whom
I have known, h,ive been respectable ; some very distinguished. The late Governor of
South Carolina, General Butler, his brother, Judge Butler, now or lately in Congress, from
South Carolina, are of this stock.
I have thus given you all I now recollect on the subject. Col. Foote, of Hayfield, will, I
hope, write to you fully, and give you, as he has it, our family coat of arms, — a matter wholly
unimportant, save as illustrative of our family history.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
THE following brief Biographical Sketches of a few of the many

NATHANIEL FOOTE.
NATHANIEL FOOTE, son of Nathaniel Foote, and grandson of Nathan
iel Foote, the settler, was born at Wethersfield on the 14m of January,
1648. He settled in Hatfield, (Mass.,) and was married to Margaret
Bliss, daughter of Nathaniel Bliss, of Springfield, May 2, 1672. After
residing in Hatfield two years, he removed to Springfield, where he
resided four years. During his residence at Springfield, like almost
every householder, he was called into the service of his country against
the Indians, and was actively engaged in the bloody and successful
attack on their encampment at the falls in Connecticut River, a few
miles above Deerfield, since called Turner's Falls, in commemoration
of the brave Capt. Turner, who commanded the expedition. From
Springfield, Mr. Foote removed to Stratford, where his house lot of
one acre was on Main street, directly east of the old burial ground near
the present Congregational Church. This lot he conveyed in March,
1680, to Benjamin Lewis, having decided to remove with his family to
Branford, where, in February, 1679, he was admitted "a planter" of
the town, and a " home lot" was granted to him, " on condition that it
should have a tenantable house built upon it within two years, and that
he come to settle amongst us, or else the lot to return to the town
again." In pursuing his " manifest destiny" to migrate, Mr. Foote
conveyed this lot with sundry other lots of which he had become pos
sessed, to Jonathan Pitman, of Stratford, and removed to Wethers-
field, where he continued to reside till his death, although he had, pre
vious to that event, planned another removal to a new settlement begun
under his enterprize, at "Jeremy's Farm," since and now called Col
chester, on the road from Hartford to New-London. An order author
izing a settlement at this place was made by the General Court in Oc
tober, 1698, and the new settlement was made to embrace the territory
bounded north by Twenty Mile river, south by Lyme, west by Haddam
and Middletown, and east and north-east by Lebanon and Norwich.
This land was conveyed by Owaneco, Sachem of Mohegan, "for the
consideration of love and affection," to Nathaniel Foote, to be distribu
ted by him " according to his discretion," exceot fifty acres to be se
lected by himself, which he had the privilege of reserving to himself
and his heirs forever. The settlement was commenced in 1701, but on
account of failing health, Mr. Foote did not remove. He died on the
38
298
APPENDIX.
12th of January, 1703, leaving a widow and nine children,— four sons
and five daughters. His widow and four youngest children, three sons
and one daughter, subsequently removed to Colchester. Mrs. Foote
died the 3d of April, 1745, at trie advanced age of 95 years. The chil
dren all married, and settled in the n, ighborhood of each other in the
new town.
Although a house carpenter by trade, and as such was employed to
repair the Meeting House at Branford, Mr. P'oote, after his return to
Wethersfield, appears to have pursued the practice of the Law, — his
name frequently appearing on the records of the County Court as
Attorney in cases before that Court.
Jeremy's Farm belonged to Jeremiah Adams, generally known as
Jeremy Adams, one of the first settlers of Hartford, where he resided,
and kept a house of entertainment. His Inn stood on Main street, on
the ground now occupied by the Flagg House, nearly opposite the
Centre Church. From the account bock of John Pynchon, of Spring
field,* it appears that Mr. Adams bought his wine by the " butt," and
" hogshead,"— an article which has continued to form a staple of con
sumption in houses of entertainment, until Temperance Hotels came
into fashion. Mr. Adams' Inn was frequented by all the great men of
the Colony, although it would appear, from the following vote, copied

from the Town Records of Wether sfield, that strangers found it diffi
cult to get accommodations at his house during " Court times," and
it is feared that the staid habits of the deputies from the country towns
were sadly annoyed by the contents of the '* butt" and " hogshead."
"At a Town Meeting March 11, 1661-62.
"At this meeting it was voted, that the Deputies of the General Court that belong to
Wethersfield, shall do what lyeth in their power to procure a license to be granted unto
some honest man in Hartford, that is fit for that purpose, to keep a victualling house, besides
Jeremiah Adams, that thereby strangers might have entertainment at Court times, and also
at other public meetings."

NATHANIEL FOOTE.
NATHANIEL FOOTE,— the eldest son of Nathaniel Foote, the projector
of the settlement of Colchester, (Conn.,) and great-grandson of Nathan
iel Foote, the settler,— was one of the most active, prominent and use
ful men in the new town, — having been honored in succession with almost
every municipal office in the gift of his fellow citizens. He was School-
Master, Surveyor, Committee to lay out Lands, Selectman, Deputy to
the General Court, &c. He was first elected Representative to the
General Assembly in 1706, and was re-elected for twenty-two success
ive sessions. He died on the 20th of August, 1774, aged' 92 years, and
his son Nathaniel, who was born May 28th, 1712, and died May 9, 1811,
lived to the age of nearly 99 years.

DANIEL FOOTE.
DANIEL FOOTE, born in Simsbury, (Conn.,) April 27, 1724, and son
of Daniel Foote, of that town, well sustained some of the remarkable
traits in the character of the Foote Family , — indomitable perseverance,
and a strong propensity to pioneer life. He removed from Simsbury,
Wintonbury Parish, (Conn.,) about the year 1764, and located himself
in what was once called Hartwood, now Wasmn£ton> m Massachu
setts,— cleared away the forests and made a farm : from thence he re
moved to Dalton, in the same State, at the loot of Dalton mountain, —
purchased a tract of land, and brought into cultivation a valuable farm.
This farm he subsequently sold to his eldest son Daniel, arid removed
to Middlebury, (Ver.,) where he purchased some five or six hundred
acres of wild land, on which he built mills, felled the forests, and resided
for many years.
At the age of about 80, haying previously lost his wife, Mr. Foote
distributed his property at Middlebury among his children ; and about
the year 1801. set out to make a new settlement in Canton, in the county
of St. Lawrence, State of New-York, then a wilderness, whither his
son Stillman had removed a short time previous On his way there,
through Montreal, he took the small pox, of which he died a lew days
after his arrival at Canton. He was a man of great industry and ener-
§y, and peculiarly fitted for a pioneer in a new country. He could never
e contented on a well cultivated farm : there must, be forests to subdue,
and new dwellings to erect, or it was no place for him,— and at last
died in the woods, and for lack of boards for a coffin, was laid in bark
pulled from an elm tree. Most of the sons of Mr. Foote had the same
propensity for seeking their fortunes in a new country, and they and
their children are now widely scattered throughout the United States.

DAN FOOTE, M. D.
Doct. DAN FOOTE was the son of Nathaniel Foote, of Colchester,
(Conn.,) and was horn in that place August 16, 1755.
Doct Foote read medicine with Doct. Percival, of East-Haddam,
(Conn ) During the war of the Revolution, he was three years in the
naval service, as Surgeon. He practised medicine in Pittsfield, (Mass.,)
some nine or ten years, and removed from thence to Newberlin, Che-
nango county, (N. Y.,) at a very early period in the settlement of this
part of this county, and had an extensive practice during his. life, and
was much esteemed.
During the first few years of his residence in Newberlin, in common
with the few neighbors who had emigrated to this (then) wilderness,
his courage, decision and perseverance, were often severely tested by
the hardships and conflicts he was compelled to endure.
Notwithstanding his title to the land he had purchased was valid in
the law, yet the beasts of the forest, holding a claim by right of discov
ery, refused to yield him peaceable possession. Having, however, just
had some experience in settling the claims which the British Lion pre
tended to have upon the lands and tenements of this country, he thought
he could safely and successfully prosecute this matter of dispute with
the American Bear.
Accordingly, as neither party seemed disposed to relinquish his claims,
and both feeling confident in the justice of their cause, and of their su
perior physical force, an appeal to arms was made.
A bear seizing a hog belonging to one of the neighbors of Doct. Foote,
the tocsin of war was sounded, and the little band, comprising only
three men, Doct. Foote, old Mr. Marvin, and his son Elisha, Spartan
like, were ready for the conflict. They took up their line of march in
the trail of the bear, and pursued on until they reached the spot where
the bear had slain his prize, and made a delicious rneal of his blood.
The bear, before the arrival of his pursuers, had still farther retreated
up a hill, and his place of rendezvous not being distinctly known by
them, they followed on a short distance further and made a halt. A
rustling among the leaves was soon heard at a little distance from
where they stood. In a moment the bear was in sight. The Doctor
at once levelled his piece, and gave him a broadside. A large dog then
sprang at the bear, and was instantly overpowered. It soon became
evident from the treatment the dog received while prisoner of the bear,
that the bear was waging a war of extermination.
Their ammunition exhausted, and but one gun in the company, and
the dog suffering pains and penalties worse than those of a Romish In
quisition, conspired to create a moment of disagreeable suspense. At
length the Doctor mounted the log under which his dog was confined
by the bear, and commenced beating him with the breach of his gun,
hoping by this manoeuvre, at least to liberate his dog from the very un
kind embrace of the hear. But the bear, indignant at such an inter
ference, when he was contending with the champion of the canine race,
rose in all his brutish majesty, and at one fell swoop brought the Doctor
to the ground. The do^, acting on the principle, that discretion is the
better part of valor, made good his escape to the house, and was unhes
itatingly entered on the list of killed and wounded. While the Doctor
was on the ground, being mangled and torn by the bear, Mr. Marvin,
the younger, undertook to save the Doctor's life at the risk of his own.
He seized the bear, thinking that he could not only separate the bear
from the Doctor, but escape himself from being hurt. But no sooner
had he touched the animal, than he himself was in the same dangerous
situation, the bear having him down,— mangling and tearing his limbs,
with, if possible, increased ferocity. While the Doctor was revolving
in his mind, their situation and danger, he thought of his little pocket
Barlow knife, the only weapon now left with which there was any
APPENDIX . 301
chance of dispatching their more than troublesome antagonist. But
before he could get his knife from his pocket and open it, his hands and
arms being badly wounded, Mr. Marvin, the elder, seeing his son in
such imminent danger, rushed into the arena for his rescue. The father
made a pass at the ears of old Bruin, with the expectation of drawing
him backwards beyond the reach of his son, and not only relieve
his son, but escape himself. It is thought he would have remained a
spectator of the tragedy, had it not been for his strong paternal feel
ings.
But the bear had been too long the sovereign of the forest to permit
such familiarity from an invader of his dominions. He therefore, as
quick as thought, turned upon him, and with one blow of his paw felled
him to the ground. No sooner had the bear laid him prostrate, than he
g-oceeded to gnaw his head and mangle his limbs, with great cruelty.
y this time the Doctor had succeeded in opening his knife, and he
walked up to the bear, threw his arm over on the opposite side of him,
thinking that as soon as the bear felt the thrust of his knife, he would
wheel around in an opposite direction from him. The Doctor stabbed
the bear twice over the region of the heart, when he turned suddenly
round as was anticipated, and set off in a tangent for the swamp at the
foot of the hill, mortally wounded. Just at the moment the bear started
to leave the field of action, he met a Mr. Franklin, who had been sent
by the wives of Doct. Foote and Mr. Marvin, as a kind of reinforcement
to their husbands.
The moment Franklin came in sight of the bear, supposing the bear
in purs it of him, he wheeled and took to his heels down the hill, run
ning with the speed of the wind. Upon looking back, after coming in
sight of the women, he then for the first time ascertained that the bear
was not, and neither had been in pursuit of him, but was making his
way, with all necessary speed, to the swamp, to slake his thirst, crea
ted by loss of blood. Franklin came up to where the women stood,
and on their anxious inquiry after the fate of their husbands and son, —
Franklin faintly ejaculated — " Dead ! all dead !"— " Go call Elder
Camp," they quickly rejoined. Franklin, somewhat recovered from
his fatigue and fright, started off. Upon arriving at the bank of the
Unadilla, opposite to Elder Camp's house, he screamed at the top of
his voice,—" Elder Camp ! Elder Camp !" On hearing such unearthly
cries, the Elder hurried out of his house and asked " What 's warned?'5
" There are four men dead," replied Franklin. " Four men dead,"
echoes the Elder,—" Who are they ?" " They are," says Franklin, in
a piteous tone, — "Doctor Foote, old Mr. Marvin, his son Elisha, and
myself! all are dead, and gone !"

MRS. ELIZABETH HUNTINGTOJV.
Died at Lyme, (Conn., ) on the 25th of October, 1845, Mrs. ELIZABETH
HUNTINGTON, relict of the late Rev. David Huatington, in the 96th year
of her age.
Seldom are we called upon to record the death of one so far advanced
in life, and at the same time so ripe in those graces which constitute the
character of a Christian. The deceased died at a good old age, full of
faith, and with an unshaken hope of a blessed immortality. She became
a professor of the religion of Jesus at an early age, and few have main
tained that steadfastness and uniformity in their Christian character and
deportment as did the deceased ; apparently but few clouds passed be
fore her to shut her out from sweet communion with the Father of her
spirit. She was naturally possessed of a strong mind and very retentive
memory, both of which had been strengthened by culture, and which
rendered her very useful in the circle in which she moved, to pour forth
words of consolation into the dejected soul, to encourage and strengthen
302 APPENDIX.
the weak believer, and to give instruction to the ignorant, and also to
animate and quicken those who had been long in the field of Christian
warfare. During the last years of her useful life, her mind seemed to
be absorbed in meditating upon heaven and divine things. We trust
she has gone to unite with her husband and son, (the late Rev. Leveritt
J. F. Huntington, of New-Brunswick, N. J.,) in singing the song of
Moses and the Lamb, where her fond anticipations will all be realized
in the bosom of her Saviour arid her God.
A mother in Israel is gone,
• And many dear ties are now riven ;
We're left her departure to mourn,
And trust she 's rejoicing in heaven.

HON. ISAAC FOOTE.
Hon. ISAAC FOOTE, of Smyrna, Chenango County, (N. Y..) was the
son of Daniel Foote, of Colchester, (Conn.,) where he was born on the
4th of January, 1746. In the common schools of that town, and in his
early Puritan home, he received that sound, but plain, elementary in
struction, and that religious training which fitted him for a long life of
Sactical usefulness, of strict integrity and the most consistent piety,
e resided in Colchester until May, 1768, when he removed to Stafford,
(Conn.,) where he soon grew into the confidence of his fellow-citizens,
by whom he was repeatedly elected to the General Assembly of the
State. He early received a commission as Justice of the Peace, which
in those days was the highest evidence of the public spirit, and the pure
and high character of those who were thus honored. He was a Soldier
of the Revolution, and [December 24, 1769,] before leaving Colchester,
became a member of the Congregational Church.
In 1794, he emigrated to Sherburne, Chenango County, (N. Y.,)
where he located on a farm, (which is now in the present town of Smyr
na,) on which he resided nearly fifty years, until his death. In his new
home, his energy, discrimination, practical judgment and amiable de
portment, found ample room for exercise. He did much to promote the
settlement and improvement of the country, by assisting to open roads,
establish schools, organize churches, build houses of worship, and lend
a helping hand to many a needy emigrant in distress.
He early received marks of the confidence and esteem of his neigh
bors and fellow citizens, by being elected, in 1798, a member of the
lower House, and, in 1810, of the Senate of the Legislature of New-
York. While in that office, he gave his hearty support and advocacy
to all measures to establish common schools and provide funds for their
support, and he continued their ardent friend through life. In the same
year, (1800.') he was appointed first Judge of Chenango County, in
which office he was continued until he reached the constitutional limit
of the age of sixty.
Judge Foote was married on the 31st of May, 1773, to Mary Kel
logg, daughter of Jonathan Kellogg, jun., of Colchester, with whom he
lived happily upward of half a century. She died November 15, 1826,
aged 82 years He survived her nearly seventeen years. His death
occurred at Smyrna, on the 27th of February, 1843, having reached
the advanced age of ninety-seven.
There was an exceeding beauty in his bright and serene old age,
following, as it did, a long life of active usefulness and of unsuspected
purity both in his public and private walk. This life, after reaching its
meridian, did not suddenly rush down into the darkness of the grave,
but seemed to pass gradually out like one of our longest summer days,
into a serene twilight, which gradually melts into the softest night.
APPENDIX. 303
Through his long career, he was universally respected as a man of
strong intellectual powers,— of strict integrity and sincerity,— of large
public spirit, and the highest and purest Christian virtues. He walked
uprightly in public and private life,— he was industrious in well-doing,
by which he made himself useful and valuable in society :— his hand was
ever ready to be put forth in any good cause,— his tongue spoke only
the truth as it was in his heart :— and when he died, his friends had a
comfortable hope and belief, that he had entered into the rest prepared
for the people of GOD,— that he had gone to abide in His Tabernacle,
and dwell in His Holy Hill,— inasmuch as he had walked through life
uprightly, working righteousness, and speaking the truth in his heart,
and had trusted in Christ and his righteousness for salvation.

EBENEZER FOOTE.
EBENEZER FOOTE removed from Colchester, (Conn.,) to Delhi, (N.
Y.,) about the close of the War of the Revolution, in which he shared
first the perils of a common soldier, and afterwards of a subordinate
officer. While stationed near Newark, (N. J.,) he, with a detachment
of the American army, was taken prisoner by the enemy, and carried
to New-York. He ejected his escape with Sergeant-Major Wood, and
crossed the North River on a board, and landed safely, but much ex
hausted, at Communipaw, below Pawles Hook. He afterwards shared
in the perils and triumphs of the American army at Trenton. From
this date, he was employed in the Commissary Department, under Col.
Champion, till the close of the war. After removing to Delhi, New-
York, he was elected to the House of Assembly, and while in that body,
he was instrumental in the formation of the County of Delaware, of
which he was appointed Clerk, and subsequently first Judge. He was
also a Member of the State Senate. In public life, he was laborious
and faithful in the discharge of his official duties, in vyhich he gave uni
versal satisfaction ; and in private life, was distinguished for his kind
ness, hospitality, and gentlemanly deportment. He numbered among
his friends and associates, some of the most eminent men in the State.
During the last years of his life, he was President of the Delaware
County Bible Society, to which he made liberal donations.

MRS. HANNAH FOOTE.
Mrs. HANNAH FOOTE, the subject of this brief notice, died at Colches
ter, (Conn.,) the 20th of January, 1848, aged 82 years She was relict
of the late Mr. Stephen Foote, and considered merely as a woinan,
justly ranked with superiors. Though unsurpassed in her devotion to
her family and domestic avocations, yet her capacious mind was stored
with such ample knowledge of various topics, as to render her an object
of interest to the most intelligent in the social circle. But when con
sidered as a Christian, she stood pre-eminent. The ease and clearness
with which she enforced the precepts of the Gospel, and discussed its
doctrines, might have led one to suppose it had been the sole study of
her life, while her mild accent and tender manner, wrapt, in pleased
attention to religious instruction, the child whose natural heart digressed
from usual inculcations. For the more mature in life, she drew large
supplies from the store-house of her experience, and her advice com-
manded, at least, the respect of the hearer. Her cotemporaries also,
were soothed by her sympathy and encouraged by her example.
304 APPENDIX.
The trials by which she proved herself qualified fora seat " with the
just, made perfect in heaven," were peculiar, and severe beyond the
ordinary course of life ; yet, so deep were they buried in the recesses
of her heart, as to be perceptible only by their sanctifying effects. If
one Christian grace can be said to have been more conspicuous than
another, it was humility, which added to her tranquil candor, imparted
a dignity of manner that delighted while it controlled. The cause of
Christ without any of its divisions, was her engrossing subject and the
burthen of her prayers. To designate which object under this general
head was fraught with greatest interest to her, would be difficult 5 yet
her light which was ever bright, shone " more and more unto the per
fect day." When her children no longer seemed to share in her care —
when their solicitations for her restoration to health were unheeded by
her— when her eye was about to close on the " things of time and
sense," and open on visions of beatific glory, and long: cherished hope
had well nigh folded her pinions in the certainty of reality, then did the
apparent lethargy of her brethren in the church overcome the lethargy
of disease, and their religious stupor exceed with her the stupor of
death. Then did she exclaim aloud for them, and her last audible ap
peal was, that they would "cease to slumber in the service of the
Lord" — that they would " awake to righteousness and sin not."
Thus she who had so long been depositing treasures in heaven,
passed away to enjoy them " where moth and rust do not corrupt, and
where thieves do not break through nor steal."

MRS. HARRIETTS N. MARVIN.
Died at Key West, Florida, March 31st, 1848, Mrs. Harriette N. Mar
vin, wife of Hon. William Marvin, and second daughter of the late
Judge Foote, of Coopers; own. This dispensation of an all-wise Provi
dence throws the pall of grief over a large circle of acquaintances and
friends. The peculiar loveliness of Mrs. Marvin's character endeared
her to all with whom she was conversant; but in the domestic circle,
and the unreserved intercourse of intimate friendship, the deep devo
tion of her self-sacrificing spirit was most conspicuous. Asa daughter,
a sister, a friend, to say that she was unsurpassed is but a feeble ex
pression of the reality ; as a wife, the heart of her bereaved husband
only knew her worth. Mrs. Marvin endured a lingering and painful
illness with unwavering patience. For weeks she viewed the approach
of death with entire composure, and spoke of her departure from earth
as she would have spoken of going to the home of her childhood ; she
knew in whom she had believed, and with joyful confidence committed
into his hands not only her own spirit, but the beloved ones she was
leaving. Grace triumphed over the struggles of nature, and her hus
band, her infant daughter and orphan sisters were given up to him who
has said, " I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." When her lips
could no longer utter the words of hope and love, when "flesh and
heart were failing," after a look of intense affection at each one who
stood at her bedside, she raised her eyes on high, arid as they were
fixed there, a smile of ineffable sweetness and holy peace illumined her
countenance, and as "gently as night dews descend," she ceased to
breathe. " And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write,
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord."

MRS. SARAH LOUISA TAYLOR.
THE following sketch of the life and character of Mrs. Taylor, was
prepared by Mrs. Lydia Huntley Sigourney, whose heart rejoices to
pay a ready welcome, among the living, to every one distinguished for
moral and intellectual worth, and whose pen has woven so many undy
ing wreaths of poetry over the graves of departed genius and virtue.
SARAH LOUISA FOOTE, the third daughter of William and Mary
Ann Foote, was born at East-Haddam, (Conn.,) January 18, 1809.
She early evinced amiable affections, and intellectual tastes. Her edu
cation, commenced at the district schools of her native place, was con
tinued at a more select institution in Glastenbury, and completed at
Bacon Academy in Colchester, of which she became a member at the
age of fifteen. While earnestly pursuing her studies, she made many
friends, as she possessed the requisite qualifications for ardent and en
during attachment.
Her mind, though brilliant, and at times, even playful, was addicted
to reflection and serious thought ; and by the discipline of God's provi
dences, and the influence of His Holy Spirit, attained a deep, and sus
taining piety. Desire of usefulness was a predominant element in her
character,— and while still quite young, she engaged in the work of
instructing her own sex, at first, in the Academy where she was her
self a pupil, and afterwards in the City of New-York, and in Patterson,
New- Jersey. Of the delights and responsibilities of a Christian teacher,
she was exquisitely susceptible, — and successful in gaining the love of
those committed to her care. Visits to the sick and poor, and attention
to those duties which harmonize with a sincere religious profession,
mingled with her toils in the field of education. Failing health, at
length, compelled her to resign her laborious avocation, while the
afflicting loss of two beloved sisters, threw her more exclusively on
divine consolations, and revealed their inexhaustible fullness.
At the age of 21, she was married to Mr. John S. Taylor, of New-
York, and entered on her new duties, as the head of a household, with
a pervading sense of solemn accountability. Among her varied efforts
of benevolence, were gifts of religious books, and the adoption of a lit tie
orphan girl, whom she strove, with unwearied tenderness, to guide in
the way to heaven.
But her exertions in this sphere were short ;— in a few years, she be
came the victim of hopeless consumption, and was obliged to relinquish
both the cares and comforts of housekeeping, and yield her two
infant sons to the charge of relatives in a distant part of the State.
These severe trials she strove to bear with resignation, and in the re
tired home of her birth awaited the coming of the pale messenger.
Her letters to various correspondents, and parting addresses and
poems for her children, disclose a clear, vigorous intellect, and the
affections of a subdued spirit. These are collected in a volume, by the
Rev. Lot Jones, Minister of the Mission Church of the Epiphany, in
New-York, who was for some time her Pastor.
When the Destroyer came, the last words that breathed from her
lips as she turned her dim eyes to her husband's face, were— "My
children !" She died August 2d, 1836, at the age of 25,— and her re
mains rest, as she had requested, in the church-yard of the spct of her
nativity; and when the intention of the living is carried into execution,
the voyager on the waters of the Connecticut, will discern from the
deck of his vessel, three marble tomb-stones of equal heighth, the me
morial of those three sisters, who were " lovely and pleasant in their
lives, and not in death divided."

306 APPENDIX.
The following beautiful lines, suggested by the dying scene above
alluded to, were written by Mr. William Cutter, the early friend and
class-mate of Mr. Taylor.
" Farewell !
Oh ! who the bitterness can tell
Of that brief word, when on a mother's heart,
Called from her helpless babes so soon to part,
Its lingering tones of sadness swell !
Farewell !
Warm gushing from the inmost cell
Of the heart's yearning tenderness, that knows
No measure for its fulness — thus o'erflows
Love's parting benison — Farewell !
Adieu !
Again, my darling babes, on you
I may not fondly look. I may not more
Over your precious heads low bending, pour
My prayer, as I was wont to do.
Adieu !
Not from my heart to sever you,
Dear precious pledges of an earnest love
That soon shall know its counterpart above —
Oh ! no — but only from my view.
Sweet Flowers !
Gathered in love's terrestrial bowers,
A few brief mornings fondly cherished there,
Oh ! with what yearning tenderness and care
I would have watched your opening powers I
But go —
Heaven calls me hence — I may not know
Your blooming or your blight — to them who ne'er
Can feel a mother's yearnings, be the care
To watch you, as ye fade or grow.
Ye smile,
Sweet babes ! unconscious all the while
Of sorrow, fear, or parting. Life to you
Has neither past nor future. All seems true
That can the present thought beguile.
Smile on !
Smile on ! And oh ! when I am gone,
May God in kindness so direct your ways,
That love and hope may gladden all your days,
And heaven upon their evening dawn.
Go now —
Upon each placid infant brow
I've looked my last and fondest — on each cheek
Imprinted my last kiss — and now I seek
To breathe a dying mother's vow.
O Thou !
To whose behest I meekly bow,
And leave these tender infants motherless —
Take them to thine, from my too weak embrace —
O Father, smile upon them now.
They're thine —
No longer may I call them mine !
Baptized into thy blessed mystic name,
And bound to thee by that most precious claim —
Thine, Father, they are wholly thine !"

Died at Northampton, Fulton county, (N. Y.,) on the 29th of Novem
ber, 1845, Rebekah G. Foote, daughter of Elisha and Rebekah Foote,
of the same town.
Miss Foote exhibited in her quiet life a beautiful and pure model of
the Christian character. She early connected herself with the Metho
dist Church, and found in tne practice of the duties which such connection
implies and enjoins, the sweetest pleasures of this Hie, and the surest
hopes of a blessed hereafter.

ZIBA FOOTE.
ZIBA FOOTE, son of Edward and Anna Foote, was born at Newtown,
(Conn.,) in July, 1785. His childhood and youth were full of promise :
but he was cut off by untimely death ere the blossoms of his genius haa
ripened into fruit. His early predilection for books, and studious habits,
were encouraged by his parents, and he was assisted by them, and
more by his own industry, in obtaining an education. Before he was
sixteen years of a^e, he taught a district school, which employment he
engaged in from time to time, for four years afterwards, and thereby
realized the means of prosecuting his classical studies, which he com
menced in 1802. By the most indefatigable industry, he qualified him
self to enter the senior class in Yale College, in 1804, and during the
year of his connection with the college, he was the successful competit
or for the " Dean's Bounty," — an evidence of his superior attainment in
the Latin and Greek languages. To attain such a standing in a class
of forty-one members, among whom such men as the Rev. Samuel
Farmar Jarvis, D.D., Rev Heman Humphrey, D. D., President of
Amherst College, Rev. Gardner Spring, D. D., were to be found, and
after such a brief preparatory course, was no mean distinction as a
scholar. Immediately after his examination for his decree, and without
waiting for the exercises of Commencement, young Foote started for
Cincinnati, to seek the employment of land surveyor under Col. Mans
field, of that place, who had made application to Yale College for sev
eral young men of practical science, for this purpose. His journey to
the west was in August, the most perilous season of the year, and his
engagements there were attended with a succession of exposures and
accidents, which brought on sickness, and in less than a year hurried
him to an untimely and ill-starred grave. His letters to his father,
written from Ohio, are full of the most harrowing details of his misfor
tunes and sufferings, which were, however, borne by him with heroic
resolution to succeed or die,— and die he did, within one year after he
left the threshold of his father's house to seek his fortune at the west.
He was accidentally drowned in a small lake or pond, in the southwest
corner of Gibson county, State of Indiana, about six miles from Wabash
river, and a few miles below Coffee Island, on Wednesday the 30th of
April, 1806. He was at this time ens-aged in surveying, and very im
prudently undertook to swim the ponclwith his compass and staff. His
body was recovered, and buried on the margin of the lake, from which
place it was subsequently removed to a tomb in a retired valley near
the town of Bedford, Indiana,— far away from his home and his kindred.
Thus perished, in early life, Ziba Foote, and in his untimely grave
were extinguished many fond anticipations,— many bright promises of
a successful and honorable career.

NATHANIEL FOOTE.
NATHANIEL FOOTE was a very respectable, worthy and enterprising
farmer, and lived and died on the Paternal Home. His father left him
the greater share of his estate. His house continued during his life to
be the same home for every member of the family, as it was previous
to his father's death. Having no issue, he cheerfully and kindly assisted
his affectionate mother in bringing up the younger portion of the family,
who were children at his father's death. His attachment to his dear
native home, to the place where his parents had lived and died, was
deep and abiding.

ISAAC FOOTE.
ISAAC FOOTE, son of Hon. Isaac Foote, of Smyrna, (N. Y.,) was
born at Stafford, (Conn.,) April 18, 1776, and removed in 1794, with his
father, to Sherburne, (now Smyrna,) New-York, where he still resides.
He was early and successively elected or appointed to various executive
offices of the township and county, such as constable, collector, deputy-
sherirl'and high-sheriff. In the Congregational Church, his Christian
character is evinced by the holy office of Deacon, which he has held
since 1808. T he confidence reposed in his honesty, fidelity and capacity,
is shown by the fact that he has had the principal agency in the man
agement and sale of the large landed estates in the county of Chenango,
belonging to the Lawrence and Livingston families, to me entire satis
faction of all concerned.
In whatever position he has been placed of a public nature, he has had
the good fortune to secure and retain the confidence of all whose inter
ests were in any manner committed to his care, or affected by his man
agement.
The fact that he is still among the living precludes our speaking of
the virtues which adorn his private and social life.

HARRIET ELIZABETH FOOTE.
Died in Smyrna, (N. Y.,) July llth, 1846, at the residence of her
grand-parent, Deacon Isaac Foote, Miss HARRIET ELIZABETH FOOTE,
daughter of Justin Foote, deceased, aged 20 years. She was taken sick
and died while on a visit to her grand-parents, with whom she had
spent the greater part of her life, till about two and a half years since,
when she went to reside with her widowed mother at Batavia. When
she came to Smyrna, far from herself and friends was the thought that
her youthful and lovely form was soon to waste away by disease and to
find a grave by the side of her father's sleeping dust. All that love and
skill could do was done to arrest the progress of her disease: it gradually
became evident to her friends that death had marked her for his prey,
that her time had come. To her friends it was consoling that she was
prepared to meet it. At an early age she manifested an attachment to
Christ, and made a public profession of her faith in him. By her life
she adorned her profession. On the bed of sickness she was meek, pa
tient and submissive. She had a desire to live, but wished above all,
the will of the Lord done. Till the last hour she confessed herself a
sinner, and if saved, it must be by nothing she had done, but all through
the merits of Christ. She peacefully fellasleepin Jesus, (as we trust,)
leaving many to weep over her earfy grave.

MRS. ROGER M. SHERMAN.
The following notice of this superior woman appeared in the New-
York Observer, August 12, 1848, soon after her decease. It is, I
presume, from the pen of Rev. Lyman Atwater, the Pastor of the
Churcff of which she was so long an exemplary member.
Mrs. ELIZABETH SHERMAN, widow of the late Hon. Roger M. Sher
man, died at Fairh'eld, (Conn.,) on the 3d instant, in the 75th year of
her age.
Thus has passed away all that remained of the family of a man of
eminent distinction in the church and the State. .His venerable relict,
who has now followed him to the grave, adorned the station allotted her
by Providence, by bringing to it intellectual powers and accomplish
ments not inferior to those of her distinguished husband. Remarkable
for her conscientiousness, prudence, wisdom— her firmness and stead
fastness of attachment to the doctrines and ordinances of the Gospel, —
her zeal in maintaining religious institutions, — her liberality to the poor,

to every good wrork." In her death the poor universally mourn the
loss of a great benefactor. The church bewails the removal ol'a strong
pillar. Benevolent institutions will miss a constant and generous pat
ron. Society surfers the loss of a bright example and firm supporter of
whatever is pure and lovely and of good report. A large circle of
attached and confiding relatives and friends weep over the departure
of one writh whom they oft took sweet counsel, " sorrowing most of all
because they shall see her face no more." But " she rests from her
labors and her works do follow her."
Her numerous friends will be glad to learn that after a life of great
bodily suffering, her last sickness was almost wholly without pain ; and
that after struggling with doubts and fears, (the result of a naturally
desponding temperament,) through most of her pilgrimage, (when she
had ceased to answer other questions,) she responded affirmatively and
unqualifiedly to the question put by her pastor, " Can you trust your
self entirely in the hands of your Saviour?" This was almost her last
utterance. And they who know her, know that she could not have said
what she did not mean.
In accordance with the mutual understanding and united wishes of
herself and husband, she has made the following bequests to religious
and public institutions. She has bequeathed her miscellaneous library,
house and homestead to the First Ecclesiastical Society of Fairfield,
together with a fund of $2500 for the purpose of keeping the same in
repair ; the former for the increase of the ministerial library, the latter
for a parsonage.
She has given the law library of her late husband to the county of
Fairfield, for the use of the bar and courts of said county ; £4.000 to the
corporation of Yale College, on the condition that they pay an annuity
ofijti200 to one of her nephews during his life ; $2,000 to the East Wind
sor Institute; #4,000 to the American Home Missionary Society;
$4,000 to the American Colonization Society : $4,000 to the Retreat
for the Insane at Hartford : $500 to the Female Beneficent Society of
Fairfield. A.

Library,— the collection of his long life,— an enduring monument of his
zeal in the cause of Literature and Religion. Every visitor to the City
of Hartford, should not fail to examine this valuable collection, and to
pay their respects, while he is yet spared among us, to this worthy
representative of the manners and faith of the early fathers of New-
England. $
It has long been a prevalent opinion that a military life is unfavora
ble to the Christian character. A large portion of armies, in all Chris
tian countries, are undoubtedly destitute of the habitual fear of God,
and little acquainted with the precepts of the divine Saviour. Divers
causes operate to produce such a state of things, among those who are
devoted to a military life. Those who adopt the profession of arms,
are often destitute of a Christian birth and early education, and early
exposed to the dangers of evil example. Frequently they leave a pa
rental domicil in early youth, and are deprived of the inestimable privi
lege of parental home. In the camp and the tented field, there are
many temptations, and many examples to lead them astray.
Still, it is a very gratifying truth, that there is no condition of human
life that excludes the blessings of divine grace, or that is deprived of
access to the blessed Saviour, whose blood cleanseth from all sin. War
is not necessarily wrong. There have been various instances in which
God has approved of it, and directed his people to go forth to the field
of battle. In the first of the two S9ngs of Moses, the blessed Saviour,
the God of Israel, is praised in this character. " I will sing unto the
Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath
he thrown into the sea. The Lord is a man of war ; the Lord is his
name." The man that appeared to Joshua, with a sword in his hand,
who evidently was Christ, says, " As Captain of the host of the Lord
am I now come." He assumes a military character. No person is so
often spoken of in the scriptures, as the type and representative of the
Saviour, as Uavid. Yet, he was the greatest warrior of his time.
Many of the most distinguished men in the armies of modern countries,
have been highly eminent in the Christian character. This has often
been found in the honest soldier. A detachment of the Hessian troops
belonging to the army of Burgoyne, as they passed through Connecti
cut, after the surrender at Saratoga, made a halt on the Sabbath, at
tended on public worship, and celebrated the sacrament of the Lord's
Supper. Lord Nelson had in his ship a knot of seamen, who attended
daily to religious duties by themselves, and the Admiral suffered no
one to molest them in these services. And there was no portion of his
crew on whom he placed greater dependence in the day of battle. The
well-known hymn, entitled " The Hiding Place," was written by a
British Officer, who was hopefully converted during a confinement in
prison.
The population of New-England have ever been, in some degree,
conversant with war- As a community, never less, probably, than at
the present time. In the early period of their history, they were expo
sed, for the most of the time, to the hostility of the savages on their
borders. As the Canadas belonged to France, previous to 1763, with
the great influence of that people with the Natives, in the long and re
peated wars between that power and Great Britain, New-England and
New-York, for the most of the time, had enemies on their borders.
The military expedition to the Island of Cape Breton, in 1745, which
issued in the capture of Louisbourg, was as great an achievement, for
the strength of these Colonies at that time, as the capture of Burgoyne
and his army, twenty years after. Between these two wars was the
severe war of 1755, which was mostly decided by the battle of Quebec
in 1759, and Canada came into the possession of Great-Britain. It does
not appear that these Colonies were instrumental in bringing on these
wars, which had their origin in the royal courts, yet they were forced
to bear no small part of the burden. And in this way Divine Provi
dence was preparing this people for the great conflict which issued in
APPENDIX. 311
the establishment of a great, and a new country. The surviving sol
diers of the French war were the solid nucleus of the army of Independ
ence. And the greatness of the occasion, in the war of the Revolution,
called the best portion of the population to the high places of the field.
Major ISAAC FOOTS was born at Branford, in Connecticut, July 16th,
1717. j|fis father, Isaac Foote, Esq., and his mother, a daughter of
Mr. Abraham Dickerman, of New-Haven, were highly esteemed by
their acquaintance, particularly in the duties of the Christian charac
ter. This, their only son, was early consecrated to God, and, with two
sisters, was trained up with parental care, and with the best advanta
ges for education that could be ordinarily obtained at that day. In his
youth he exhibited an inclination to the Military profession, which was
necessarily cultivated, more or less, at that period of our history.
What part he took in the war of 1745, is not well known, but it is sup
posed that he was an officer in the militia, and probably engaged in the
important expedition to Cape Breton, which issued in the capture of
the strongly fortified town of Louisbourg.
The next period of peace between England and France, continued
but seven years. The succeeding war, commonly denominated the
" French War," commenced in 1755 ; the same season as the defeat
of the unfortunate Braddock. The regiment to which Major Foote
was attached, joined the Northern army under the command of Gen.
Shirley. Great preparations were made that year for the approaching
contest ; the best troops in New-England were called out, it being gen
erally expected that the decisive Conflict of war would take place in
Canada. This proved to be the case, in the successful battle of Quebec,
with the death of Gen. Wolfe.
At this eventful season, we have in Major Foote a striking exhibition
of the Christian soldier. While his detachment was at Albany, Gen.
Shirley had a dining party, of which Mr. Foote was one, on the Sab
bath. He attended public worship in the morning, and then went to
dinner. At the call for the afternoon exercise, Major Foote rose at table,
and asked permission to leave the company. Gen. Shirley said, "No,
Major, do not leave this company, and these choice wines." He mod
estly renewed his request, and was refused as before. Mr. Foote
stood, but was silent. The Gen. spoke again, " No compulsion, Major,
take your choice, leave if you wish." He took a respectful leave for
the house of prayer.
A few extracts from his letters, written to his wife, a short time pre
vious to his decease, will give a distinct view of the Christian character
of Major Foote, and may be more interesting than the remarks of
another. He was in the tract of country between Albany, Lake Cham-
plain, and Lake Ontario, distinguished in our history for military
achievements.
" Fort Nicholson, Aug. 15, 1755.— I am now arrived at the great car
rying-place where General Lyman built a fort. I do not expect to
write you any letters before we attack the fort and have an engage
ment; and stand or fall live or die, as God pleases. I feel, in general,
resigned to the disposal of Divine Providence ; and if it should be my
lot to fall in battle, or otherwise die here, let me recommend to you as
from a dying husband, to live entirely devoted to God and his service.
Spend your time in doing the will of God. The great part of your care
must be in bringing up the dear children, and use your utmost endeavor
to instruct them in the principles of religion ; pray much with them and
for them. . . I hope your heart is fixed, trusting in God, so that evil
tidings shall not make you afraid. I know that, like Eli, your heart
will tremble, you will want to hear and yet be afraid to hear. And
when you learn that there are a number slain, (for it would be very ex
traordinary if none should be killed,) how your heart will tremble lest!
should be in the number of them that fall in battle. And if it should be
the case, do not mourn immoderately, for while you are mourning and
312 APPENDIX.
weeping, through the Redeemer's merits, I shall be adoring before the
throne of God."
In his next letter, dated Aug. .20th, he writes,—" We have orders to
move forward our regiments. I um not well, but resigned to the will of
God. Hope you are, and will continue so. The comforts of religion
are real, solid, and sometimes ravishing. O Saviour, how much do t
long to be conformed to thee. Love God, pray much, instructThe chil
dren, and if I ever come home, I intend to do more for them than I have
ever done. Pray for Zion's prosperity. I trust you will be faithful in
the affair of the religion of the family. I now have the distemper that
prevails among us, though not mortal except in two instances. But I
am in safe hands. Do not be concerned about me ; you may mention
the case to a prayer-hearing God, and desire the prayers of my Chris
tian friends. I trust I shall be saved from the pestilence that walketh
in darkness, and the arrows and bullets that fly at noon-day. But, how
ever it be, do you love and praise God, and join with me in ascribing
praise and honor to the Lamb, to whom be glory everlasting."
In a letter of Sept. 1st, he says,—" I left the camp about a week ago,
on account of my ill health. Am now pretty well recovered, and design
to go to the army to-morrow. Gen. Johnson, with 1500 men, is now at
the Lake St. Savian, building a fort ; and some things look discoura
ging. Yet I trust, if the reinforcements come seasonably, we shall
proceed to some point. We have some prospect of an engagement.
I am at present in low spirits. Oh, alas ; how various are my frames !
Last letter I wrote you I was on the mount ; and could unite with
angels in adoring sovereign grace ;— and now, alas, why sunk down in
stupidity and sloth. Oh, cry to Heaven for me. I hope you and the
few dear praying ones, will continue to besiege, as you beautifully ex
press it, the Throne of Grace. You may do more than Gen. Johnson
can with his army. Oh ! the prayer of saints— I had almost said Om
nipotent. Mr. Bellamy, in a letter, tells me, all the children of God lie
prostrate before the Lord, for success in this enterprize. . . Oh amaz
ing grace ! how safe is the believer. Perils and dangers he may pass
through, afflictions may encompass him like bees, death may stare him
in the face and threaten an onset. Serene and calm he awaits the
blow ; and asks the monster: Where is its sting, and where its victory
boasting g rave" ?
" Flatts, 4 miles above Albany, Sept. 17, '55. — I am here at Colonel
Schuyler's, waiting^ for a guard, for it is not deemed safe to go alone.
I am in a very feeble state of health ; think it is owing to Jesuit's bark,
taken to break fever and ague fits, or to the almost constant fogs that
arise from the river. If I was at home, I should quite give out. I am
tenderly looked after, go where I will, and treated very kindly. . . .
I know not when I shall go home, if ever. I would have you cast all
your care, and roll all your burden-upon God. He will support you. Is he
not better to you than any earthly friend ? I am sure he is to me.
When dejected, he raises me up; when fainting, he gives me refresh
ing cordials; when thirsty, he gives me the water of life."
" Thursday Morning.— Slept comfortably; hope you had a good
night, and freedom this morning to pour out your soul to God. I am
very poor and pained to-day ; but it is all well ; because as to health, it
is as God would have it. . . It is now 9 o'clock ; I will lay down and
rest my poor body, if God pleases, and to-morrow, I may perhaps write
more ; and so good night to you and the children and friends."
About this period, Major Foote obtained permission to leave the
army on account of his constant and increasing illness, hoping to be
able to reach his home. But he was not able to proceed any farther
than Greenbush, opposite Albany, where he died October 7, 1755, in
the 39th year of his age. In the ancient burying-ground, opposite the
APPENDIX. 313
lower part of the city of Albany, he sleeps in peace, to be called by his
Lord at the " resurrection of the just." *

MOSES FOOTE.
MOSES FOOTE, the eon of Moses Foote, was born in that part of Wa-
terbury, now Plymouth, (Conn.,) where he resided until soon after the
close of the Revolutionary War, when he removed with his family to
commence a settlement in the western wilderness of New-York. He
was accompanied in this movement by the families of his sons, and his
sons-in-law, — making altogether a neighborhood of his own. With
Mr. Foote to lead and direct the enterprise, the party were admirably
fitted to commence a new settlement. They were all charged with
Yankee ingenuity, energy and oerseverance, and Mr. Foote was en
dowed with an iron frame, six leet high, and of a temperament and
muscular texture which admirably fitted him for a pioneer life. They
took up a temporary residence at German Flats, on the Mohawk river,
then the very boundary of civilization on the west. In the autumn of
1786, they determined on a location sixty miles beyond, at a place now
called Clinton, and there erected log huts, preparatory to an early re
moval in the succeeding spring. Accordingly, with the other families,
Mr. Foote commenced the settlement of the new town in March, 1787,
when scarcely the smoke of a log cabin inhabited by a white family
could be discerned for twenty miles round. The town was first called
Paris, by the Legislature, on the petition of the inhabitants, in com
memoration of the liberality of a merchant at Fort Plains, on the Mo
hawk, who supplied the infant settlement with corn and other provis
ions at a low price and a long credit, at a season when the crops, affected
by the unfavorable weather, had nearly failed. The purchase made in
1788, by George Clinton and other Commissioners appointed by the
Legislature, from the Oneida Indians, of all their land, except some
small reservation, gave a new and powerful impetus to the settlement
of all this section of country, — and in the course of a few years, the
germs of from twenty to thirty towns were planted in the region round
about Mr. Foote's settlement. Mr. Foote lived to see his own settle
ment expand and strengthen into a beautiful and flourishing village,
bearing the honored name of Clinton, and the seat of a University, called
after the no less honored name of Hamilton. During his lite, the wil
derness through which he and his companions cut their way with the
axe, was converted into fields of grass, and corn, and wheat,— and the
stupendous work of connecting the waters of Lake Erie and Hudson
river, by a navigable canal, was devised and completed, and his own
crops were borne on its bosom to the Atlantic markets, along the very
route on which he made his slow and toilsome progress, through tang
led forests, on loot, forty years before. He died in 1819, at the age
of 84.

EBENEZER FOOTE, COUNSELLOR AT LAW.
EBENEZER FOOTE was the eldest son of John Foote, py his second
wife, Mary Peck, an£ was born on the 6th of July, 1773, at Watertown,
* Major Foote's grave is not far from the front fence, near the gate ; and the stone at its

in the county of Litchfield, and State of Connecticut. His father was
born, lived and died in the same town. His grandfather was Doct.
Thomas Foote, who spent most of his life and also died in that town.
His grandfather lived and died— his father was born, lived and died—
and he was born on the same farm, which is still in the family, being
now owned and occupied by his nephew, Mr. Hubert Scovill. John
Foote, the father of Ebenezer, was an industrious and successful farmer.
He had eight children, three sons and five daughters, to whose support
and education he devoted the proceeds of his farm. His second son,
John, and his youngest son, Samuel Alfred, received liberal educations
at college. Ebenezer being the eldest, was designed by his father to
be the Iarmer of the family, and remained on the farm and labored with
him until he was twenty years of age. He then became anxious to
change his pursuit He wished to acquire an education and enter the
profession of law ; it being the expectation of the family that his brother
John would enter the ministry. His parents did not oppose his wishes,
and after the season of labor was over in the autumn of 1792, he left
home, weni to the neighboring town of Cheshire, and commenced clas
sical studies under the tuition of the Rev. John Foote, with a view of
preparing himself to enter college, and in the sophomore or junior class.
He pursued these studies nearly two years, not, however, giving his
whole time to them, as he was obliged to devote a considerable portion
of it to teaching school for the purpose of earning in part the means of
obtaining his education. Finding that full four years, if not more, would
be required to complete a collegiate course of study, obliged as he was
to devote a large portion of each year to teaching, he determined to
abandon that object and enter at once upon the study of his profession.
Accordingly he went to Litchfield, entered the law school of the Hon.
Tapping Reeve, and commenced the study of the law. This school
deservedly had a high reputation, and furnished great facilities for ac
quiring a knowledge of legal science. Mr. Foo'e pursued his profes
sional studies at and in connexion with this school for two years, a por
tion of each year being spent in teaching. In December, 1796, he was
admitted to the bar of the State of Connecticut, and in the language of
his license allowed " full right and authority to practice, as attorney
and counsellor at law, in all the courts, as well supreme as inferior,
both of law and equity throughout this State." Soon after obtaining his
license, and without making any attempt to practice his professi9n in
Connecticut, he removed to the State of New-York, and established
himself at Lansinburgh, in the county of Rensselaer. He reserved the
small portion which his parents were able to give him until this time of
his need. In February, 1797, he sold the land which his father had
given him on his attaining his majority, and with the proceeds provided
an outfit lor the commencement of his career in life. He was a dutiful
son, and left the paternal roof with the affection and blessing of pious
parents.
Admission to the courts in the State of New- York was at that time
easy, and after a few months of professional study he was licensed to
practice. His first license was given to him in November, 1797, by
the Court of Common Pleas of Rensselaer County. His admission into
the other and higher courts of the State, followed soon afterwards. A
strong constitution, a large and vigorous frame, a full and manly voice,
a mature intellect, a ready and rough wit, together with uncommon
self reliance, fitted him for success in the profession which he had
chosen. That success he obtained at once. He also became a prom
inent politician and was soon an active and influential member of the
old republican party. He early acquired the confidence of the leaders
of that party in his adopted State, and in after years his political oppo
nents, in consequence oi'the intimacy and friendship existing between
him and the late Chief Justice Spencer, who was the leading spirit of
the republican party of that day, used to call him " Spencer's Foot "
Troy proving to be a more fortunate location for a commercial town,
and increasing more rapidly in business and population than Lansin-
APPENDIX. 315
burgh, and being also the shire town of the county, Mr. Foote soon
changed his residence to that place and entered into copartnership with
John Bird, Esq., a gentleman of brilliant intellect and finished scholar
ship. Their copartnership continued several years. The sickness and
earl}- death of Mr. Bird dissolved it. In 1801, only four years after his
admission to the bar, Mr. Foote had acquired considerable eminence
in his profession. He had attracted the notice and obtained the friend
ship of Governor George Clinton. So high an estimate did the Gov
ernor put on his talents and worth, that in August of that year he caused
him to be appointed Assistant Attorney General for the District com
prehending the counties of Columbia, Rensselaer and Greene. His
commission was signed by the Governor, and is dated the 13th of Au
gust, 1801. The duties of this office required the exertion of high pro
fessional talents and they were discharged by Mr. Foote to the entire
satisfaction of the public. He held the office several years and until a
change in the party politics of the State caused a general change in
official incumbents.
After the discontinuance of the professional connection between him
and Mr. Bird, he pursued his profession alone for sometime; but finding
it impossible to attend the courts where his extensive practice required
his presence almost constantly, and also give the requisite attention to
the attorney's business in the office, he formed a new connection and
entered into copartnership with a gentleman of high respectability, who
had industry and tact for business, and was well versed in the practice
of the law. This was a fortunate arrangement for both. They did a
large business and were very prosperous. His partner gave his atten
tion principally to the duties of an Attorney and Solicitor which confined
him to the office, while Mr. Foote performed those of a counsellor and
advocate. He was almost constantly engaged in the trial and argu
ment of causes. He excelled particularly in trials before juries, and in
that branch of his profession, had few if any superiors in this State.
His influence and standing as a politician kept pace with his progress
in his profession. He was an ardent, active and able supporter of the
principles of the republican party. Finding that the capital of the
State afforded a more convenient and suitable location for him than the
then village of Troy, he dissolved his copartnership in August, 1808,
and shortly afterwards removed to the city of Albany. There he con
tinued the practice of his profession until his death, having generally a
junior partner to attend to the business in the office. During this period
he took an active part in politics, wrote considerably for the press, and
exerted a strong influence in fayur of the side he -espoused. He was on
one occasion a prominent candidate for the office of United States Sen
ator, and his friends for a time believed they should accomplish his
election, but did not.
His youn°r and only surviving brother, Samuel A. Foote, entered his
office as a clerk, in the autumn of 1811. Samuel North, Esq. was then
his partner. Mr. North's ill health obliged him to withdraw from the
duties of his profession in February, 1812. From that time Mr. Foote's
brother took charge of the business of his office. Mr. North's illness
proved fatal. He died in January, 1813, while yet a young man, belov
ed and admired in life and mourned in death, for his moral qualities and
intellectual attainments. The death of Mr. North opened the way for
a professional connection between Mr. Foote and his brother, who had
then just attained his majority, but had not studied law the length of
time required by the rules of court for admission to the bar. Mr.
Foote, however, availing himself of the time his brother had spent in
his office while a youth, and before entering college, made a special ap
plication to the Court, who dispensed with their rule in favor of his
brother, and admitted him to an examination. He was found qualified,
received his license, and entered into copartnership with his brother in
January, 1813. This connection was happy and prosperous, but of
short duration. Mr. Foote attended the Circuit Court of Rensselaer
316 APPENDIX.
County, held at Troy in the early part of July, 1814. He was engaged
in several important trials ; the weather was unusually warm, and his
temperament ardent. Over exertion or some other imperceptible cause,
probably the former, brought upon him a bilious fever. He returned
Rome, medical aid was obtained and nothing serious apprehended for
some days. But on the fourth or fifth day of his illness, the fever began
to rage and the disease assumed an alarming aspect. On the 21st of
that month and in the 42d year of his age, after a sickness of only eleven
days, death seized him, and after a violent and painful struggle, in
which his robust constitution and manly frame maintained for nours a
conflict with the king of terrors, he yielded and expired in the full ma
turity of his physical and intellectual powers.
Mr. Foote was a large man, full six feet in height, had a good consti
tution, and a well formed and muscular frame. His forehead was high,
and his eyes dark and remarkably bright. Cut down unexpectedly and
early in life, no portrait of him was taken, and his likeness only remains
in the recollection of those who knew and now survive him. He was
married to Elizabeth Colt in December, 1803. She survived him, and
also a daughter and only child, born in December, 1804. His daughter
was married some years after his death to Lebbeus Booth, Esq.
Mr. Foote had a strong and active mind, a warm and generous heart.
Had he enjoyed the advantages of an early and thorough education he
would have had few equals in this country. As he was, he had no su
periors in this State in those contests at the bar, where ready \vit, strong
and discriminating judgment, powerful reasoning and great intellectual
resources were essential to success. He wrote as he spoke, with vigor
and wit, but without the elegance or polish of a finished scholar. A
brief notice like the present will not permit a reference to any of the
important causes in which he was engaged, nor extracts from his
speeches, many of which were published in the newspapers and pamph
lets of the day, nor even a recital of the many anecdotes told of him, and
which show the force and brilliancy of his unpolished but exhaustless
and spicy wit.
Mr. Foote was generous and liberal to a fault. He was more ready
to help his relatives and friends than provide for himself. He contribu
ted liberally and freely to aid his brother Samuel Alfred in obtaining
an education, and although that brother by his success in his profession
was able afterwards to repay, and did with interest all these fraternal
offerings, yet that did not diminish the merit of the original advance
which was made without security, and probably without any expecta
tion of a return.
One act of Mr. Foote's life should not be omitted, nor forgotten when
ever his name is mentioned.
The present Female Academy in the city of Albany, owes its exist
ence mainly if not entirely to him. It is now and has been for some
years one of the most valuable and useful institutions in this country.
It was commenced in February, 1814 under the name of " Union
School in Montgomery Street. The original subscription paper is
now before the writer. It bears date on the 24th of that month. The
subscriptions are payable to Mr. Foote, and it is within the knowledge
and recollection of the writer, that he started the project and obtained
most of the subscriptions. Whatever was his motive and aim, whether
to qualify his own daughter or those of his neighbors and friends, for
the duties of American ladies, or more expansive still, to elevate and
adorn the female character, and store the female mind with useful
knowledge, his name should be kindly remembered by. every pupil who
has enjoyed or may enjoy the benefits of the institution, and by every
friend of female education. S. A. F.

DEACON BERJNICE FOOTE.
DEACON BERNICE FOOTE was born in that part of Waterbury, now
Plymouth, June 5, 1766, and was the son of Obed Foote, and of Mary
his wife, daughter of Rev. Samuel Todd, of Waterbury.
In the daysbt' his youth. Deacon Foote remembered his Creator, — was
the subject of religious impressions and converting grace, and dedicated
himself to Christ and his service, by a public profession of religion. In
after life, in his intercourse with his fellow-men, his integrity to religious
principle was unbending, and he was a bright example of the Christian
virtues. In his exertions to extend the boundaries of the Redeemer's
kingdom, to promote education, and to advance the general good of the
community in which he lived, he was untiring,— nor did he close his
heart and hands against the cry and wants of the poor and needy,— the
widow and the fatherless.
Three of Deacon Foote's sons were ordained, and became useful,
honored and distinguished servants of Christ, in preaching his gospel.
Deacon Foote felt great comfort, and was much engaged in promo
ting the social intercourse of Christians, in prayer meetings and con
ference. He had a pleasant gift in prayer, and was attractive a id in
structive at these assemblies. It was after being at one of these meet
ings, and where he had been more than usually engaged and stirred up
in his spirit for the conversion of sinners, that he returned home, solemn,
yet cheerful, — seated himself in a chair, — and, in an instant, expired.
His age was 65 years.
" Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that
man is peace."

MRS. SYBBIL FOOTE,— WIFE OF DEACON SAMUEL FOOTE.
MRS, SYBBIL FOOTE, \vife of Deacon Samuel Foote, was the eldest
daughter ofCapt. Oliver Dooliitle, of Hinsdale, New-Hampshire. Her
mother was the daughter of Seth Field, Esq., of Northfield, (Mass.,)
and of Susan his wile, daughter of Rev. Benjamin Doolittle, the first
minister of that town.
Mrs. Foote was born in 1777, and was married to Mr. Foote, August
8, 1794. Her life presents but few incidents for public recital, — but it
was crowded full of those many nameless acts of kindness, benevolence
and love which fill up the daily life of a woman with domestic tastes, — of
a wife, whose sympathies are with her husband's labors and fortunes, —
of a mother, to whom a large family of children looked up for guidance
and education,— of a neighbor whose heart and hand were ever open to
administer to the wants and pleasures of others,— and of a Christian
who performed all of life's duties as in the constant presence of her
final Judge. In all of these relations, — as a woman, a wife, a mother, a
neighbor, and a Christian, she moved through life, a beautiful example,
blessing others, and blessed herself, in the consciousness of duty dis
charged here on earth, and in the comfortable hope of a blissful here
after. Her religious opinions were not received on trust, but were de
rived from a diligent and prayerful study of the scriptures : neither were
they mere matters of speculative belief, — they were wrought into her
daily life, — her conversation and her habits. She made them the rule
of her duty, in bringing up her own children, — and when her husband
was absent, she conducted, with sacred fidelity, family worship. She
died of a bilious fever, on the 4th day of March, 1832, aged 54 years.

DEACON SAMUEL FOOTE.
Deacon SAMUEL FOOTE was born of pious parents in the town of Wa-
terbury, (Northbury parish,) now Plymouth, Connecticut. His father
was a native of Branford, and his mother a daughter of the Rev. Sam
uel Todd, a native of North-Haven, (Conn.,) and the first settled Min
ister of Northbury. He and his brothers and sisters were early dedi
cated to God in baptism, as appears from the records of the church at
Plymouth. At the age of ten years, May, 1780, he removed with his
father to Rowe, (Mass.,) and from thence in April, 1784, to Gill, m the
same State, where he resided until the death of his father, and his. own
marriage. His education was at the common school, and one year at
the Chesterfield Academy. About 1797, he emigrated with his family,
wife and one child, to the " Chenango Country," in the State of New-
York, then nearly a wilderness, and settled in the town of Sherburne,
now Smyrna, where he bore a prominent part in the settlement of the
country. In 1804, for the purpose of enjoying church privileges, he re
moved to a more central portion of the town, where he was efficient in
the erection of the first church. In 1817, he removed to Plymouth,
(N. Y.,) where he was instrumental, with a few others, in building the
nrs, Congregational church, and settling the first minister. He was
elected a deacon of the church at this place. About 1828, he removed
to the town of Ellicott, (N. Y.,) where a number of his children had pre
viously emigrated. In 1832, he buried his wife, by whom he had eleven
children. This was a most severe affliction to him. She was a most
devoted and affectionate wife and safe counsellor, and an every day de
voted Christian, and well calculated to render him and her family happy.
They first united with the Congregational church in Sherburne, about
A. D. 1803.
After his removals to Waterboro and Jamestown, he was continued
in the office of deacon in those churches, by election, with entire una
nimity. In 1833, he was married to Mrs. Parker, a widow and a worthy
woman, who survives him. While on a visit to his youngest son, Obed
Foote, at Grand Rapids, Michigan, in January, A. D. 1848, he closed
his earthly career after a brief illness, where his body rests till the
resurrection.
He was the fifth of a family of 11 children, all of them arrived at adult
years, and expressed a hope in Christ, and his death was the eighth,
leaving a surviving brother and two sisters, younger than himself. In
person he was of spare habit, six feet in height, black hair and eyes,
light complexion and florid countenance, and naturally possessed of a
•strong and vigorous constitution, and until advanced in life, was seldom
confined by sickness. He was a farmer, as was his father and grand
father, and of uncommonly industrious habits. By industry and econ
omy he raised a large family, and contributed freely from his hard-
earned means, to build houses of worship, sustain the preached gospel,
and the benevolent enterprises of the day, and was a life member of
many benevolent societies. He never mingled in political strife. He
was a man of remarkable earnestness in religion, and child like simpli
city of character ; a most devoted and affectionate parent, and his at
tachment to his children and friends was most ardent and sincere.
Although highly impulsive, his religious character was singularly even,
and few men were more controlled by the principles of religion. There
was no concealment in his character, open, frank, and generous to all;
and if he committed an error or gave offence, it seemed a privilege to
confess it when convinced. His mind was evidently imbued with a de
votional spirit, and showed his intercourse with heavenly things.
There was no place he enjoyed himself so well as in the sanctuary and
conference and prayer meetings, and was always ready to take a part.
He was no " fair day hearer,"— the stormy day, the dark and rainy
evening, found him one of the most punctual in attendance, even in de-
APPENDIX. 319
clining health and years. Of a large experience in religious things, he
was most instructive in social meetings. Of a warm and tender heart,
he was generally moved deeply in his address and prayers. Most inti
mately acquainted with the word of God, his quotations were numerous
and happy. It is believed that wherever he resided, he lei't witnesses,
who at the day of judgment will call him blessed. He loved to converse
about religion, and distribute bibles and tracts, and visit families, and
talk about Christ and him crucified. He was tolerant and charitable to
those of other denominations that he viewed as possessing the image
of his Saviour ; while he at the same time was decided in nis doctrinal
views. No one had more humbling views of his own heart and its na
tive depravity, and his entire dependence on Christ for salvation. He
loved to labor in revivals. In the latter years of his life his mental fac
ulties manifested a decay and its consequences. Still his Saviour's love
was his daily theme, and the facility with which he quoted scripture
was remarkable, and his interest in religious meetings continued una
bated. He often spoke of his approaching dissolution, and the love of
his Saviour, with child-like confidence. A common exclamation, —
" His loving kindness oh how great." In early life he learned to sing,
and delighted in singing hymns, and was most happy in his selections
for special occasions or to express his own feelings.
His last illness, (jaundice,) was short and painful. Still, he bore it
with that remarkable fortitude and resignation, that demonstrated the
power of true religion. He anticipated his end with entire composure,
and said it was his choice to depart and be with his Saviour. He fre
quently exclaimed, " Oh how precious the Saviour." — " My suffering
time will soon be over." When asked what message he wished sent to
his absent children and friends, he answered,—" Tell them to follow
Christ, and meet me in heaven." For two days before his decease, he
could not converse, but appeared to have his senses to the time he ex
pired, which was at 2 o'clock, A. M., January 25, A. D. 1848, in the
79th year of his age.

HON. ERASTUS FOOTE.
ERASTUS FOOTE was born on the 19th day of September, 1777, and
was the son of Obed Foote and of Mary his wife, daughter of Rev.
Samuel Todd, of Waterbury, (Conn.) Having read law with the
Hon. Samuel Hinckiey, of Northampton, (Mass.,) Mr. Foote was ad
mitted to the practice of his profession in Hampshire county, (Mass.,)
May, A. D. 1800; opened an office in Concord, in the same State, but
removed to Camden, Maine, in July of the same year. Here he enjoyed
a very extensive and lucrative practice for many years. In 18 1J he
was appointed County Attorney for the county of Lincoln; in 1812 was
elected Senator to the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Massa
chusetts; removed to Wiscasset in 1815; was elected a Representa
tive to the Legislature of Massachusetts in 1819, at which time the
separation of Maine from Massachusetts took place ; was elected to
the Senate of Maine in 1820 ; was appointed Attorney General of
Maine in in 1820 ; in 1824 was reappointed to the same office ; and
received his third appointment to the same office in 1828 ; and in 1840
he was elected a Representative to the Legislature of Maine. Mr:
Foote has also held various other offices of trust and importance, both
civil and military.

JOSEPH FOOTE, M. D.
JOSEPH FOOTE was born in Northfield, (Conn.,) May 12, 1770. He
was fitted for Yale College under the tuition of Rev. Mr. Bray, of North
Guilford, at the early age of thirteen, and graduated at that institution
in 1787. He studied his profession under Doct. Potter, of Wallin°ford,
and established himself as a Physician, at North-Haven, 1790. On the
16th of February, 1797, he married Mary Bassett, by whom he had two
children. She died Sept. 3, 180 1. She was a prudent, intelligent and relig
ious woman, whose consistent piety served to check his natural levity,
and love of pleasure, and to fix his thoughts on Heaven and Eternal
things. On the 26th of January, 1803, he married for his second wife,
Eunice Foote, by whom he had four children, and with whom he lived
happily for thirty years. She died November 12, 1833.
Doct. Foote was eminently blessed in his domestic relations, and to
the virtues and influence of his wives he was proud to bear testimony.
"They have aided me in the work of self-government; they have
checked me when inclined to stray, and oftentimes stimulated me to
duty, when I was inclined to neglect it ; their influence has rendered
me a better man, and a better physician, than I otherwise should have
been." He Jived to see his children educated under his own eye, and
well settled in life, and died April 24-, 1836.
Asa Physician, Doct. Foote enjoyed a large and lucrative practice,
and was distinguished lor his skillful and successful treatment of dis
ease, as well as for his winning mariners and address, in his intercourse
with the sick. At his funeral, the Rev. Leverett Griggs, the Pastor
of the Church of which he became a member in 1821, delivered an ad
dress, which was published at the request of the friends of the deceased.
In this address, his pastor dwells on the evidence which Doct. Foote
gave, especially in the latter part of his life, of his piety.
" 1. His love of divine truth. For many years he has been a student
of the bible. Few understood it better than he. Few dwelt upon it
more than he. When his family were around him, they were not only
trained to read the scriptures daily, but seasons were set apart for spe
cial study and examination. Saturday evening was always devoted to
this exercise. In meetings he would often propose questions on some
passage of scripture, bearing upon the point under consideration. His
remarks and prayers were always well seasoned with the salt of divine
truth, showing that his delight was in the law of the Lord. The man
ner in which he conducted his Bible Class, showed that he loved the
bible, and was chiefly anxious to find for it a place in the hearts of oth
ers. The controversial writings of the day he read with great pleas
ure, on account of the clearer light they shed upon the sacred page.
" 2. His intercourse with men,— especially the sick. For a few years
past Dr. Foote has been eminently a practical Christian. Every day
he has been engaged in his Master's cause. He has been a living epis
tle, known and read of all men. How often has he dropped a word
in the ear of the impenitent, ^calculated to arrest their attention, and
lead them to Christ. How often has he given caution and warning to
straying brethren, and urged them to the path of duty. To many he
has come home with the prophet's fidelity, describing their sins, and
saying,— Thou art the man. Has he found one sinking in discourage
ment ? How ready has he been to fill him with hope, and animate him
in the cause of God. For the sick he always had a seasonable word.
Never have 1 felt the value of piety in a physician so much as since I
became acquainted with Dr. Foote. He has been a good pastor as well
as physician. He was apt to teach. His conversation was generally
with grace, and this showed the state of the fountain from which it pro-
APPENDIX. 321
ceeded. He spoke to us while alive: being dead lie yet speaketh.
Take heed how ye hear.
" 3. His firmness. Dr. Foote was never wanting in decision of char
acter. Whenever he devoted himself to an object, he was untiring in
its pursuit, and generally successful in attaining it. But formerly he
was often hasty and fitful in his decisions, so that firmness was no ex
cellence in his character. In the latter part of his life, there was an
evident change in this respect. When a question was proposed, he was
cool and deliberate in considering it. He looked at it in every point of
light to know what was duty. When that was discovered, his face was
from ostentation. In his dress
for his simplicity. Every thing
about him was neat and comfortable, but plain and simple. In his
charities he did not wish to be seen of men. Often has he been, pri
vately, and put a Jive or ten dollar bill to a contribution that had been
taken up in public, and of which he had given a good proportion. Thus
was he unwilling to let his left hand know what his right hand was
doing.
" He made no boastful displays of his learning, or of any of his superior
advantages. He was familiar with all. He was respectful to all. He
was complaisant with all. He seemed to feel that he had nothing which
he did not receive. He was sensible of his faults, and often spoke of
them, but his merits were passed in silence. No one, I presume, would
say, that of late, he thought more highly of himself than he ought to
think.
"5. He was a man of general benevolence. To every good object he
was friendly. If he had objections to any object or institution, he would
state them. If they were removed, well ; if not, he would assist if good
were to be accomplished. He did not expect perfection in any human
scheme, and was not, therefore, searching for defects to find reasons
for neglect. It was enough to know, that good was to be done, — then
his heart and hand were open.
'" His general benevolence also appeared in the interest he manifested
lor all classes of men. His efforts for the instruction of the aged, show
his feelings towards them. They are not left without a witness.
" For the young, also, his heart glowed with a father's love. How
often he addressed them with all the sympathy and fervency of a com
panion. How earnestly has he urg^ed them forward to every good
work. The young, both male and Temale, will bear me witness, that
no one could rivet their attention, instruct and interest them more than
Dr. Foote. All loved him. and he loved all.
"6. He was possessed of charity. Though sometimes inclined to
severity in remarking on the character and conduct of others, he would
check himself and say, we do not make proper allowances for early ed
ucation, habits and circumstances. He was particularly tender ot the
reputation of Ministers and private Christians. He was slow to indulge
in suspicion,— he would not take an evil report against them without
abundant reasons. WThen observing his caution on this subject, I have
often thought of that charily which thinketh no evil: rejoicelh not in
iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.
" 7. His regard for (he institutions of God. He was scrupulous in
the observance of the Sabbath. This appears from what has been said
of his exercises Saturday evening, and on the Sabbath. He was ex
emplary in keeping the Sabbath day holy. Of the importance of this
duty he often spoke in the meetings of the church, and on other occa-
41

SAMUEL ALFRED FOOTE,
SAMUEL ALFRED FOOTE, son of John and Mary Foote, was born De
cember 17, 1790. He resided wilh his parents at Watertown, (Conn.,)
until the month of September, 1805, when he went to live with his elder
brother Ebenezer, who then resided at Troy, Rensellaer County,
(N. Y.) After spending a little more than a year in his brother's Law
office, he was sent by his brother to school, at Union College. He en
tered the Grammar School of that College in December, 1806,— entered
the Freshman Class in September, 1807, and was graduated in July,
1811. He read Law for nearly a year after leaving College, which he
did in December, 1810, with James Thompson, Esq., of Milton, Sara
toga County, (N. Y.,) and then entered his brother's office in Albany,
his brother then residing in that city. He was admitted an Attorney
n the Supreme Court ol the State of New-York, in January, 1813, and
a Counselor, in January, 1816. He entered into partnership with his
brother, on being admitted an Attorney. He practised Law in Albany
until May, 1828, when he removed to the city of New-York. He was
appointed District Attorney for the city and county of Albany, under
the administration of Governor Clinton, in July, 1819, and held the
office until February, 1821, when he was removed to make room lor
the Hon. Benjamin F. Butler, who was appointed in his place. Mr.
Foote's professional career is well known.

REV. JOSEPH I. FOOTE, D. D.
Rev JOSEPH I. FOOTE was born in Watertown, (Conn.,) November
7, 1796. We have no information of his early life and education, until
he graduated at Union College, (N. Y.,) in 1821. He fitted himself
for the Christian Ministry at the Theological Seminary at Andover,
(Mass.,) wThere he spent three years. In 1826, on the 25th of October,
he was installed Pastor of the Congregational Church and Society at
West-Brookh'eld, (Mass.,) in which r.elation he resided there until May
1, 1832. In the year following he was called to the charge of the
Church at Salina, (N. Y.,) where he resided until 1835, when he re
moved to Courtland, in the same State, where he continued to labor in
the ministry until 1837. In 1839. he removed to Knoxville, East Ten
nessee, to the pastoral charge of the Church in that place. Here his
reputation as a scholar and divine, arrested the attention of the corpo
ration of Washington College, in that section of the State, who confer
red upon him the degree of D. D., and tendered him early in 1840, the
presidency of that Institution. This College was the first incorporated
west of the Alleganies. It dates back to 1794, and within its walls
were educated many of the most distinguished professional men in the
Southern and Western States. Doct. lJ"oote, after consulting the ad
vice of his friend?, accepted the presidency, and on the 9th of April,
1840, left Knoxville on a visit to the seat of the College in Washington
County. On his way, he preached on the Sabbath, April 12, at Rogers-
ville, from a part of the apostolic benediction,—" The communion of the
Holy Ghost be with you all/'— and on the following Sunday, at New-
Providence, from another part, — " The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with you all." These labors were his last, and seem prophetic of
his end. On the 20th, as he was continuing his journey, he was thrown
from his horse, near Leesburg, and received such injury that he ex
pired on the following day, twenty hours after his fall, — the day prece
ding that on which he was to be inaugurated President of the College,
and enter on a new and wide career of usefulness.
APPENDIX. 323
The following summary of Doct. Foote's character is taken from a
Biographical Sketch of him, published soon after his death.
" By this mysterious and afflictive dispensation of Providence, the
Church of Christ has lost a bright and shining light— the cause of liter
ature and science, an illustrious and efficient advocate and patron — a
large circle of friends and acquaintances, their pride and ornament— and
a fond and devoted wife, a kind and affectionate guide and protector.
" As a faithful, zealous, and evangelical preacher, Doct. Foote had
few equals, and perhaps no superiors. As a theologian, he was tho
roughly conversant with the various systems of faith embraced by the
different denominations in the Christian Church. As a controvertist,
he made no compromise with essential error, either in the doctrines or
order of the church; but with that boldness and intrepidity which char
acterized the Fathers of the Reformation, he combated whatever he
believed to conflict with the plain canons of' Scripture, or to stand in
opposition to the advancement of a pure, practical and evangelical re
ligion. As a scholar and writer, he stood pre-eminently high ; and the
frequent contributions of his pen to the New-York Literary and Theo
logical Review, and other periodicals of equal celebrity, have placed
him on an eminence in polemic and didactic theology, to which but few
can, writh confidence, aspire. In his intercourse with the world, he
was frank and undisguised— an instructive and sociable companion— a
candid, sincere, unaffected, and sympathizing friend ; and in his domes
tic circle, a very pattern of tenderness and affection."
The address which Dr. Foote had prepared to deliver on the occa
sion of his inauguration was published immediately after his death. In
this address he advocates the claims of the College in a very able
manner. The following extract shows his sympathy with the poor, to
whose doors he would carry the means of the highest intellectual im
provement.
" A prominent motive in extending the operations of the College, is
the education of the poor. I use not this term in reproach. Who,
almost in the whole circle of distinguished schools, has not been indi
gent ? If from the lists of those who have been distinguished officers in
Colleges, or pre-eminent in the profession of Law, Medicine or Divini
ty, or celebrated for their attainments in science— if from these lists we
were to strike out the names of those who were originally indigent,
how small then would be the remainder? Nor is this scarcely less
true of the many who have risen to the principal places of honor in the
several states and even in the nation itself.
" There is a disposition in the community to compound indigence with
ignominy, and to treat the poor as if they were criminal ; no other ten
dency is so injurious to the general elevation of society, or to our Re
publican institutions. It is, indeed, an affecting fact, that scarcely a
son of the indolent, the worthless and the immoral, has ever risen to
eminence in our country. The habitations of vileness engrave their
own character so legibly on their children, that it is rarely, or never,
obliterated. By far the greater portion of those, who in our country
have been denominated poor, are entirely competent to sustain their
families at home. They are honest. Their morals are without a stain.
They are beloved by all their neighbors Their children are trained
in every virtue. They are the joy of their parents, and the delight of
their wealthy neighbors. If instead of undertaking to procure an edu
cation in the liberal arts and sciences, they were to apply themselves
to agriculture, to merchandise, or to any ordinary employment, it is un
questionable, that competence and perhaps wealth would soon smile
around them. But if instead of limiting their circle of usefulness by
these boundaries, their minds contemplate a wide range of operation;
if instead of growing up with the rapidity of the poplar, they endeavor
to acquire the solidity and the expansion of the oak ; if their hearts are
fixed on being widely and permanently useful to the human race, such
aspirations in the youthful bosoms, ought to be hailed by the communi
ty. Facilities ought to be provided for the development of such desires
324 APPENDIX
and faculties. With steady and persevering industry, these minds will
soon shine with a lustre equal to that of the prince in his court, or the
sons of the rich in their palaces.
" They will, indeed, outshine all those whose industry is riot of the
most stern and enduring kind. Time would fail me to recount by name
the distinguished men who, from an honorable poverty in childhood,
have risen by persevering industry and economy to the very summit of
literary and professional excellence Excluded from participating in
the commercial affairs of the country, the commodities of the agricul
turist cannot be made to yield him those pecuniary returns which reward
the husbandmen of other regions. Hence, many whose home is blessed
with abundance, can procure but limited means to sustain themselves
or their children abroad. For such individuals, this institution has
always been an asylum; and while she has educated her full share of
the rich and the honorable, she has always been the patron of the hon
est and the obscure. In this she will persevere. It is undeniable, that
greater facilities than any now enjoyed in these regions for acquiring
an education, can here be offered at a comparatively small expense.
The door will always be opened for the admission of the moral, indus
trious and persevering sons of the community to enter. Equally with
the heirs of the opulent, will it be our delight to train those who cannot
otherwise be prepared for extensive usefulness. In this country, neither
honor nor office is hereditary. Every boy is born a candidate for the
Presidency of the United States. Thus the sons of the rich and the
poor are equally permitted to run. ' But one receiveth the prize ;' the
son of an obscure minister of the gospel, or of a laborer in bricks and
mortar, or of a lonely widow, is as likely as any other one to sit in
Washington's seat and administer the government of his country."
During his connexion with the Church at West-Brookfield, Dr.
Foote prepared and delivered " An Historical Discourse" on the occa
sion of the annual Thanksgiving, November 27, 1828, which was pub
lished. This discourse exhibits much p*atient research, and is full of
interesting facts relating to the settlement and early history of Brook-
field, and breathes an affectionate and grateful spirit towards the
fathers of the town and of New-England. It concludes with impressing
on the present generation the duty not only of preserving but of increas
ing the means of civil and religious liberty which has come down to us
from our ancestors.
" A review of the dispensations of Providence is calculated to impress
our minds with the importance of increasing, as well as perpetuating
the blessings which we enjoy. Had not pur ancestors acted on this prin
ciple, they would have remained in subjection to an oppressive prelacy.
They would never have crossed the mighty deep, to seek an asylum in
the western Hemisphere. They would never have taken up their
abode in the immense wilderness of America. Had those who first
arrived in this place, been content with a bare subsistence and with the
lew privileges which they then enjoyed, the forest would still have
covered these hills and plains. These fields would never have been cul
tivated. These dwellings would never have been erected. These
houses for the instruction of children and youth would never have been
reared. These cheerful villages would not have risen. These tem
ples for the worship of Jehovah would never have been built. It was
care for those who should come after them, that chiefly influenced our
ancestors to cultivate the soil and to lay deep and broad the foundations
of literary and ecclesiastical institutions. It was the regard of each
succeeding generation for the welfare of posterity, that has caused
these blessings to accumulate in their descent to us. And shall we be
content to hand down to the next generation only the inheritance which
was left to us by our fathers ? Is it enough that we preserve the rights
and privileges which we have received? Shall the stream of civil and
religious blessings, which in passing each generation became broader
and deeper, receive no tributaries from us? Can we do nothing to ad
vance to that state of perfection at which it is destined eventually to
APPENDIX. 325
arrive, ' when nation shall no more lift up sword against nation,' and
when there shall be nothing to molest or intimidate throughput the
wide extent of God's earthly dominions ? Shall the wheel of civil and
intellectual and moral improvement, which during two centuries has
been increasing its rapidity, instead of receiving additional impulse, be
retarded by our generation? O let gratitude for the blessings which
we inherit, impel us to make efforts for the good of those who shall
come after us. Let us endeavor to leave some memorials of our regard
for future ages ; and when our bodies shall have mingled with the dust,
and our. very names been forgotten, may those ' who arise and declare'
the ' mighty acts of the Lord,' h'nd amongst their occasions of thank
fulness/ that their blessings were augmented by our generation."

SAMUEL AUGUSTUS FOOTE.
SAMUEL AUGUSTUS FOOTE, of Cheshire, Connecticut, was born on the
8th day of November, 1780. Though of a delicate constitution, in
childhood and youth, he prepared for and graduated at Yale College
before he was seventeen years of age. He subsequently pursued the
study of the law with the late Judge Reeve, at Litchfield, until declin
ing health compelled him to relinquish the cherished purpose of enter
ing the legal profession. He commenced business at N ew Haven, in
the West India trade, in 1803. In this business he continued, occasion
ally taking a voyage, for the double purpose of benefitting his health
and his pecuniary affairs, until about the year 1813, when the wrar and
the declining health of his father induced him to retire to Cheshire,
where he resided upon the estate where he was born, until the period of
his own death, which occurred on the 16th of September, 1846.
From the early part of the year 1817 to the year 1835, he was in pub
lic life. During this time he was repeatedly a Member and Speaker of
the House of Representatives of Connecticut, elected to the Senate of
that State, a Member of the House of Representatives and of the Sen
ate of the United States, Governor of the State and subsequently in
1844, one of her Presidential Electors. When a member of the Senate
of the United States, he introduced the resolution which still bears his
name, -and on which Webster and Hayne made the splendid efforts
wThich signalized themselves and the American Senate. While Gov
ernor of the State, Mr. Foote received the degree of LL. D. from the
College where he graduated, and in his last protracted illness, he en
joyed the like filial attention which, under similar circumstances, he had
bestowed upon his own father.
The Rev. Edward Bull, formerly a Tutor in Yale College, but who
had resided at Cheshire, and been the intimate friend of Governor
Foote for several years previous to his decease, thus speaks of his pub
lic and private character.
Governor Foote was for a long period employed almost constantly in
the service of the public. There is scarcely any office in the gift of his
fellow citizens which they did not confer on him. He was successively
a member of the House of Representatives, Speaker and Governor of
the State, and occupied seats in both houses of Congress. In all the
important business of his native town, he was sure to be employed,
whenever his services could be obtained, and they were never declined
to save his own time or labor, when his exertions could advance the in
terest of the public or individuals.
That which specially strikes us as characteristic and distinguishing
in Gov Foote as a public man, is his integrity, industry, decision and
perseverance. These qualities are the foundation of his success, and of
the confidence which he secured in the community. He was eminently
in all his views and aims, a practical statesman. What he decided to
be right and expedient, he ever firmly adhered to. What he aimed to
326 APPENDIX.
accomplish, he labored at as a working man, systematically and perse-
veringly. His measures might not always be approved, but the honest
convictions by which he held, and the fearless fidelity and honest zeal
with which he pursued them, was never questioned by any who knew
him.
He was, at least a portion of his life, a warm party man, but no party
drill could ever bring him to give his vote for a measure wrhich he had
denounced as unwise and inexpedient. No man ever more utterly re.-
pudiated the doctrine that offices are the mere spoils which are acquired
by the successful competitor. The principle to which he ever, adhered
is that those who receive the honors and emoluments of office, are
debtors to their constituents to the full amount of a faithful devotion of
their time and talents to their official duties. To this principle he con
scientiously conformed his own conduct, both in the general business of
legislation, and in prosecuting and securing the rights of such as en
trusted him with their claims. To this last remark, I doubt not some
who read this will bear testimony by the recollection of such services,
gratuitously rendered to themselves or their friends.
Gfov. Foote was an exemplary and consistent member of the Congre
gational Church and Society of Cheshire, of which, (embracing a period
of nearly a century,) his father and grandfather were successively Pas
tors. Here, as well as in all his social relations, his influence was ex
tensive, and exerted to promote the ends of the gospel,— truth, order,
harmony, Christian morality and true godliness.
In his family every thing was conducted by a uniform system of order,
and a frank and generous hospitality maintained towards his friends.
As a father, though he gave no countenance to that laxness of paren
tal restraint which is so common at this day, yet no one ever made home
more pleasant, and dearer to his children, nor received from them more
unequivocal tokens of their love and reverence.
The loss of such a man is at all times a public calamity, and will be
painfully felt far beyond the circle of his own family connexions. Such
is the feeling of this community in contemplating the decease of Gov.
Foote. Disease had indeed sensibly impaired the vigor ofhis faculties,
and given solern,n warning to himself and friends of what was to come.
Death had been at work so insidiously and fatally at his victim, that
perhaps his best friends might say that he came not too hastily to finish
what he had begun. But he has taken one whose virtues and long ser
vices have endeared him to the community, and whose memory will be
affectionately cherished.

ELIAL TODU FOOTE, M. D.
ELIAL TODD FOOTE, son of Deacon Samuel Foote and of Sibbil his
wife, daughter of Oliver Doolittle, of Hinsdale, (N. H-,) was born in
Gill, (Mass.,) on the first day of May, 1796. He received his elementary
education in Sherburne, (N. Y.,) where he pursued his medical studies
with U rs. Farrel and Guthrie, and attended practical lectures in medicine
and surgery in the city of New-York, in 1814 and 1S15, and received a
Medical Diploma. He located himself in the county of Chautauque, (N.
Y.) in the spring of 1815, where he commenced and continued the practice
ofhis profession for upwards of twenty years. He was not allowed by his
fellow citizens to discharge merely the duties of one laborious profession,
but was appointed by the Governor and Council to the office of Associate
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and after the adoption of the Con
stitution in 1821, he was elected to Presiding Judge, which office he
held by re-appointment under various administrations, every five years,
for twenty years. On declining are-appointment in 1843, Judge Foote
gave to the Grand Jury, at the opening of the Court at the February
&j;$ti%
APPENDIX. 327
session, some interesting reminiscences of the county in which he
resided, which were published at the time in the papers of the county.
As these reminiscences relate to the county, to whose growth and
prosperity the enterprise of Judge Foqte has largely contributed,
I shall insert them in this connection. It is also due to Judge Foote's
deserved popularity in the section of the country where he resided, to
copy the proceedings of the Court and the Bar of the judicial society
with which he was so long and so usefully connected.
Having understood that the family have procured an engraved copy
of the portrait of Judge Foote, I have obtained permission to introduce
the same into this book. The compiler did hope to illustrate his work
with several other portraits; but with the exception of this, and the
portrait of Mrs. Sarah Louisa Taylor, he has not been successful in
his application.
In 1845, Judge Foote removed to New-Haven, Connecticut, where
he has resumed the practice of his profession. Of the living, it becomes
me not further to speak.
From the Westfield (N. Y.) Messenger of March 8, 1843.
REMINISCENCES. — At the February term of the court, Judge Foote, in
giving his charge to the Grand Jury, stated that as it was the last time
in which he should meet them in his judicial capacity, he would im
prove the occasion by calling up a few reminiscences of the early history
of the county ; and proceeded to state what, in substance, we are ena
bled to embody in this article. He said, that —
Within about fifty years the entire " Western New-York, including
the city of Utica on the east, and this county on the west, (250 miles
long,) was comprised in the town of Whitestown, of which the late
Judge Platt, of Whitesboro, was the Supervisor. That the same ter
ritory comprised about one-half of the counties in the State, and a pop
ulation of over one million of inhabitants, including three cities. That so
late as 1801 all of this State lying west of Genesee river, including this
county, Erie, Niagara, Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, Cattaraugus,
and a large share of the counties of Monroe and Livingston, formed
the town of Northampton, Ontario county; and that subsequently this
county formed a small part of the town of Batavia, Genesee county.
Forty years since, this county was barely surveyed into (six miles
square) townships, without a white family in the county. The settle
ment of this county was commenced in 1803 by Col. James McMaham
and others, while the entire territory of our county was a wilderness,
far remote from old settlements. This county, exclusive of the tenth
range of townships, was first formed into one town, Chautauque, Gen
esee county, in 1804. At that time there was not a magistrate in this
county, and a Justice of the Peace was called from east of Buffalo,
(seventy-five miles,) to administer the oaths of office to the first elected
town officers. We now have 100 Justices of the Peace in the county.
In 1808, this county was by law conditionally incorporated, and the
town of Chautauque was divided into two towns, and Pomfret was
organized, including the east part of our county. By the act of 1808,
the territory of this county for judicial and other county purposes was
to constitute a part of Niagara county, whose seat ol justice was at
Buffalo, until the territory of our county should contain 500 electors.
In 1811 the Supervisors of the towns of Chautauque and Pomfret,
(Judges Matthew Pendergast and Philo Orton,) certified to Governor
Tompkins that there was a requisite number of electors to authorize
the county to be fully organized, and the Governor and Council ap
pointed J. dicial and other county officers for this county, and our first
court was held at an Inn inMayville, in June, 1811. Our former court
house and jail was not in a situation to be occupied until 1814. The
late war with England commenced the year after our organization,
and owing to sparse population, frontier location and almost constant
alarms, emigration to our county pretty much ceased, while many left
the county, and probably there was no increase of population during
the war. Some of our citizens fell in battle— one of them, (Bracket,) a
328 APPENDIX.
lawyer who was admitted to our bar at the first court. Emigration to
our county re-commenced after the close of the war in 1815, and the
smiles of peace gave a new impetus to the settlement of our county.
That in the latter part of 1816 he was appointed a member of the court,
and in June, 1^17, (twenty-five years^ago last June,) he first took a sta
tion on the bench. That the entire county then contained, (probably,)
a less population than the present town of Pomfret in our county. There
was then but six resident attorneys in our county, Messrs. Houghton,
Potter, Price, Averill, Mullet and Brown,— two of them deceased, two
from age and ill health have pretty much retired from the profession,
while two of them still remain among our most active and honored
members of the bar. The county then contained but three Post Offices,
now about fifty. Then but one mail route through our county, which
was from Buffalo via Mayville to Erie, and the mail was transported
once a week on horseback, and many of our citizens were compelled to
send thirty miles to the nearest Post Office, for letters or papers. No
paper published in our county— now we have five. At that time our
roads were very bad, and not a steamboat on our western lakes or
rivers. The second boat has already been put in operation on our beau
tiful Chautauque Lake, the highest body of water in the United States,
if not in the whole world, on which a steamboat plies. Our western
lakes which have with propriety been called inland seas, now abound
with steamboats, some of which in season of ria/igation, daily arrive at
our ports on lake Erie. Now we have daily or tri-weekly stages
through almost every section of our county Our citizens instead of
winding their way on foot or on horseback by blind paths or almost im
passable roads to court, now travel by steamboats, post coaches or
their own pleasure carriages.
The District (Prosecuting) Attorney was John C. Spencer, of Canan-
daigua, the present Secretary of war, whose District then comprised
the counties of Ontario, Genesee, Niagara and Chautauque, with a
population of 92,000. The same territory now embraces eleven coun
ties, with two cities, and a population of nearly half a million, of which
our county has furnished more than her proportion of the increase.
It is believed that not over thirty-two years since, there was not
more than one building west of Genesee river, (a very ordinary one at
Caledonia,) occupied exclusively for a church,— none in the present
cities of Rochester or Buffalo. How changed the scene. The sound
of the " church-going bell" instead of the shrill war whoop of the sav
age. Our common schools have recently become organized agreeably
to law, and there was not an academy west of Canandaigua for hun
dreds of miles. Now we have over three hundred school-houses in this
county, five incorporated academies, and over 17,000 youths are annu
ally instructed in our academies and schools ; that our county contained
a population, that for intelligence, industry, morals and integrity, would
compare favorably with any other,— a population of which her citizens
had reason to be proud. The increase of crime has not kept pace with
our population, and our county compares favorably with any other.
Our first Circuit Court and Court of Oyer and Terminer was held by
the late Chief Justice Spencer, in 1817, when usage required an escort
of a sheriff and constables with their staves from the lodgings of the
presiding Judge to the court house. This practice was discontinued
by the late Judge Van Ness, at the June circuit in 1820. The present
number of practising attorneys in our county, is not far from forty,
although about one hundred have been admitted to our bar since* the
organization of our county, but many have emigrated elsewhere.
We then had a two story, shammy, wooden, inconvenient, uncom
fortable court house, the lower story occupied as a jail, and residence
of the jailer and his family. Our records were kept in the dwelling
house of the clerk, constantly exposed to destruction, and the house in
which they were kept until the present office was built, has since been
destroyed by fire. Now we have one of the most durable, commodious,
and pleasant court houses in the state, and with our jail, fire proof
clerk's office, and our county poor house with its farm, do honor to our
APPENDIX. 329
county. Very few counties have public buildings equal in appearance,
convenience and durability, to those of Chautauque county. At that
time our Grand Jurors served without fee or reward, and our Petit
Jurors for the pitiful compensation of twenty-five cents for each civil
cause, in which they should render a verdict. Justice has finally pre
vailed, and both Grand and Petit Jurors receive from the county treas
ury a daily compensation and for travel, and it was to be hoped the day
was not far distant when a more just compensation would be extended
to witnesses in all cases. Our towns have trebled in number, and nu
merous villages have sprung up as if by magic. In 1817, and until after
the adoption of the new constitution in 1821, this county with Niagara
and Cattaraugus, formed an Assembly District, electing two members
of assembly. Since that the population of the same territory has in
creased from 14 to 170,000, and now comprises four counties and elects
ten members of Assembly. When he first went to the Legislature
from the old Assembly District, in 1819, there was no mail stage west
of Buffalo, and but a miserable stage wagon, a part of the way east of
Buffalo, and the most rapid mail stage from Buffalo to Albany was five
days on the route, making a most tedious journey of seven days from
Jamestown to Albany. Now the same route is performed in a little
over two days with comparative ease and at much less expense.
The construction of the Erie canal and other facilities of transporta
tion has banished the six horse teams from our roads and reduced
transportation from New- York to our county from $4 or $5 per hun
dred to less than $1, while the price of salt and some other indispensa
ble articles has been reduced more than three-fourths.
Our population has increased from a little over 4,000 to about 50,000,
while much good land remains to be settled. Hours might be occupied
in brief reminiscences on the changes that have taken place, but time
would not permit
Oi'the Judges with whom he had been associated, three were now
deceased, whose friendship he should ever hold in grateful recollection,
and the time, at the longest, was not far distant when it would be said
of him and his associates as it now was of them, they are gone. That
during the last twenty-five years there was no county m the State
where there had been a more harmonious bench and bar. The corres
pondence between them had been uniformly marked with much kind
ness arid respect; and during the severe political strifes through which
the people had passed, bickerings between the members of the Court,
or between the Court and Bar, had never been permitted to invade the
sanctuary of Justice. Mutual kind feelings and respect had prevailed,
and in taking leave of his fellows on the Bench and members of the Bar,
with whom he had been so long associated, he left them as he hoped to
leave the wprlcl, in peace and friendship, without any differences to adjust.
That in retiring from the Bench he should do violence to his own feelings
not to tender his hearty and unfeigned thanks for their uniform confi
dence and kindness ; and although he was about to cease his associa
tions with them in an official capacity, yet he should never cease to
cherish the kind feelings that have so long existed, or to invoke pros
perity and honor to follow their footsteps.

JUDGES FOOTE AND CAMPBELL. — The Grand Jurors of the county of
Chautauque, having learned from Hon. E. T. Foote, in his charge to

or twenty years, as First Judge ; do take the liberty to ttesolve, That
we wish to bear testimony, and do acknowledge with respect, the ability,

of a century been endeared to us by a friendly and honorable intercourse,
that it is with regret we witness the separation of the bond which has
so long united us together, and which is now to be severed, and prob
ably forever.
ftesolved, unanimously, That it is desirable that a portrait of Judge
Foote be placed in this Court room, to the end that when we retire
from the busy scenes of life, and this bench and these seats shall be oc
cupied by those who succeed us, they may have the pleasure of behold
ing the likeness of those who have been pioneers in the judiciary of our
country, and who have borne the responsibilities of office, with dignity
and usefulness, and who have shared in the toils and privations of a
country in its infancy, but now grown to a vigorous manhood.
This Grand Jury being also informed, that His Honor, Thomas B.
Campbell retires from the bench of this Court at the close of the pres
ent term, after a service of seventeen years, do Resolve, That it is with
pleasure we improve this opportunity to manifest to the world, our
high sense of his sterling integrity, practical good sense, urbanity of
manners, and fidelity, and do regret that the citizens of this county,
whom we represent, are now to be deprived of the benefits of his expe
rience, ability and worth.
Resolved, unanimously, That it is our request, that the above reso
lutions, be filed by the Clerk, and entered on the minutes of the Court,
and that Judges Foote and Campbell be furnished with copies of the
same.

MAYVILLE, February 16, 1843.
To Hon. E. T. Foote, First Judge of Chautauque county, New- York.
DEAR SIR, — As you are about to retire from the bench of our county,
after having held a seat thereon for nearly twenty-five years, and for
the last twenty years as First Judge of said county, the duties and re

well merited and so universally received while upon the bench.

APPENDIX . 331
The following resolution was unanimously adopted at a County Convention of Demo
cratic Delegates from the several towns, assembled at the court house in Mayville, the
17th of December, 1842 :
" Whereas, the Hon. Elial T. Foote ? and the Hon. Thomas B.
Campbell have, by respectful communications made to this Convention,
declined a re-nomination to the offices which they have so long and
ably filled : be it therefore Resolved, That this Convention, represent
ing as it does, not only the sentiments and feelings of the Democratic
party, but on this occasion, as we believe, the undivided opinion of the
great body of citizens of the county, regardless of party divisions and
feelings, are called upon to tender, which we do from a just sense and
obligation of duty as well as pride, our acknowledgments to them for
the prompt, dignified and efficient discharge of their duties as Judges
for a long series of years, and cannot permit the occasion of such sepa
ration to pass without this sincere and just tribute to their distinguished
talents and services as officers, and their high moral worth as men, and
that they will carry with them into retirement our best wishes for their
future health and prosperity."
At the annual meeting of the Chautauque County Medical Society, held at their room in
the court house in the village of Mayville, in said county, on the 23d day of June, 1847,
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, that while we regret the absence of Dr. E. T. Foote, M. D.
from our county, we tender him our cordial thanks for his scientific and
philanthropic course, while for many years he has been a leading mem
ber of this society, and extensively engaged in the practice of Physic
and Surgery among us ; he has our best wishes for success in whatever
place he may be located. His moral worth and scientific attainments
entitle him to the confidence of all who require his professional aid.
Resolved, that a copy of the foregoing resolution with the seal of the
Society attached, be presented to Dr. E. T. Foote, M. D. signed by the
President, and attested by the Secretary.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my name and affixed the corporate seal of said
Society, this 23d day of June, 1847.

DOCT. LYMAN FOOTE.
DOCT. LYMAN FOOTE, of Sacket's Harbor, (N. Y.,) was born in
Wallingford, 1796. Professor Benjamin Silliman, of Yale College,
in whose family he resided lor eight years, took great interest in his
early education, and in his subsequent career. After receiving his de
gree of Doctor of Medicine at Yale College, in 1816, and after a brief
practice in his profession in a country town in Connecticut, he received
in August, 1818, from Hon. John C. Calhqun, who was at that time
Secretary of War, an appointment as assistant Surgeon in the army
of the United States. In due course of service, Dpct. Foote was pro
moted to the rank of Surgeon in 1831, and at the time of his death, he
was fourth in rank in the army. He was in active service in the Black
Hawk, Florida and Mexican War, and during the progress of the last
died at Port Lavacca, in Texas, on the 24th of October, 1846.
He sustained the reputation of an able Physician and Surgeon, and
an excellent man.
THE labor of the Compiler of this Genealogy is about to close,
and he commits the results of his widely extended investigations
and correspondence to the charitable judgment of all who trace
their descent from Nathaniel Foote, one of the first Settlers of
Wethersfield, (Conn.,) and to all others who are interested in the
name of Foote, and in the Genealogy and Antiquities of New-
England generally. He is conscious of having spared no pains
to ascertain with perfect accuracy every fact introduced in these
pages, — but as his information has been drawn from various
sources, — from the dim and dusty records of more than forty
Towns, of not less than twenty Courts of Probate, of several
Churches, besides the Records of the Colonies of Connecticut and
New-Haven, — from the inscriptions of more than five hundred
tomb stones, — from innumerable documents, memoranda and let
ters written in every variety of penmanship, and having an abun
dance of merit, except that of legibility, — it will not be strange if
occasional errors in names and dates should be detected. To any
one who will find and communicate to the Compiler, any such
error, or will supply any deficiency in any and every respect, he
will make his grateful acknowledgments, and will enter the cor
rections and additional information in his own copy, which shall
be at the service of any one who may in some future day under
take to publish a new edition of this work.

360 ADDENDUM.
ADDENDUM.
As the last sheet of this work was being prepared for the press, I
received letters from Sylvester Judd, Esq., of Northampton, (Mass.,)
dated September 18, and October 1, 1849, in which he notes entries
which he had found on the ancient public Records at Springfield, and
at Northampton, relating to the family name of the wife of the second
Nathaniel Foote, — an enquiry which I had been unable by my own ex
aminations, satisfactorily to settle. These entries establish the fact,
that her name was Elizabeth Smith, and that she was daughter of
Lieut. Samuel Smith, one of the first settlers of Wethersfield, (Conn.,)
and Hadley, (Mass.) Her brother, Lieut. Philip Smith, married Fran
ces Foote, sister of the said Nathaniel Foote. The readers of this
work, are, therefore requested to substitute the following for the arti
cle at the head of the family of Mr. Foote, No. 1, page 47, viz :
1.
NATHANIEL FOOTE, of Wethersfield, (Conn.,) was married to
Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Lieut. Samuel Smith, of the same
town, afterwards of Hadley, (Mass.,) 1646. After his death she
was again married to William Gull, first of Wethersfield, after
wards of Hatfield, (Mass.,) by whom she had four children, Mary
and Anna, born in Wethersfield ; and Esther and Mercy, born in
Hatfield, viz : Esther, born November 21, 1665, and Mercy,
June 27, 1668. Mr. Gull died in 1701.
Mr. Nathaniel Foote died in the year 1655, aged 34 years.
Mrs. Elizabeth Foote, alias Gull, survived her last husband,
and died .
