INTIIODUCTION.

THIS Genealogy, as its titlepage indicates, was prepared under the
direction of Mr. Cliarlemagne Tower, late of Pliiladelphia, de-
ceased. His attention was called to Ins ancestry while he was a student
at Harvard College. He was then able to follow on his own line the
generations backward toward the earl\- settlement of Massachusetts to
Ambrose Tower ', who appeared in that part of Concord afterwards
made iuto the town of Lincoln ; but there did not appear anything of
record to connect Ambrose with any other of the family of Tower. The
interest however continued present to his mind, inducing him to make
further and continued research ; and when some years following his own
graduation his younger brother, Francis Marion Tower, became a mem-
ber of the same college, he took up the research in sympath}' with his
elder brother's wishes, and succeeded in finding evidence which estab-
lished the connection of Ambrose', through his father Benjamin^, with
the immigrant John '. This evidence was found among the old papers
which had tieen preserved in the dwelling-house now standing upon the
later homestead of John Tower \ and occupying a space contiguous to
the dwelling-house which John Tower built, and which he occupied until
his death.

The discovery here made deepened tlie interest which he had already-
felt in the subject, and some progress was made in the beginning of a
Genealogy ; but the large and ever-increasing demands of his profes-
sion, and the large business enterprises growing out of it so com-
pletely absorbed his time and energies that the genealogical work was
suspended and held in abeyance for several years.

It was not tmlil the clo.se of our Civil War tliat Mr. Tower again found
opportunity to resume the work. At this time, while his son was pursu-
ing his collegiate studies at Cambridge, and his daughters were receiv-
ing instruction in Massachusetts schools, Mr. Tower had occasion to
make frequent visits to the home of his ancestors, and the interest
so long l^'ing latent among his large cares became again awakened into
resolution to pursue the suliject to such completion as time and
circumstance would permit.

IV INTRODUCTION.

The increased attention to genealogical pursuits which had then been
given, provided facilities for pursuing the work not before available,
and he was enabled b^- liberal compensation to obtain aid in his
undertaking.

Mr. Tower was much interested in the earh- history of the several
colonies, out of which has grown our now common country, and had
made a large collection of the earlier laws many of which it is now dif-
ficult or impossible to find. The laws of a free people are supposed to
indicate the average intelligence and wisdom of those who frame them,
and they are indices along the road of progress on which a free people
are constantly moving in the process of development and growth. The
underlying principles are eternal, varying in their application as condi-
tions and circumstances shall change, and only to be subverted and lost
when the virtue and inteUigence necessary to the existence of free insti-
tutions shall become impaired and lost.

Since Mr. Tower's death, his widow has presented this collection to
the Pennsylvania Historical Society, and the Societj' has published the
titles to them in an elegant quarto volume. It is a fitting monument to the
industry and perseverance of the collector of these ancient colonial laws.

In the manner Mr. Tower has presented John Tower \ the immigrant
from Old England, and the founder of the family, will be seen the in-
terest he had in the relation his ancestor bore to the troubled times in
which the immigration occurred, and the equall3- troubled times follow-
ing the immigration, when new conditions called for new application of
old methods or the invention of entirelv new ones to meet changed and
ever-varying circumstances. Tlie conflict was then, as now, between
the conservatism which sees safety in the old and often tried ways, and
the theorj- of the dreamer and enthusiast reaching out with more assur-
ance than knowledge into the sea of adventure with faith that the con-
tinent of golden hopes may be safely reached. The struggle was then,
as now ; and manv a bark went down, as they will continue to go down,
in overwhelming storm, from their imperfect structure and equipment,
before one shall be found so completely constructed and manned as to
reach the haven of promise and assurance.

The present volume of Genealogy is confined to the descendants of
John Tower \ of the Tower name, and of the children of the females
who have borne the Tower name. Much however has been collected
and arranged in the many lines of the females, probably sufficient
to make two volumes of the size of the present one. Work in this
direction was interrupted by Mr. Tower's somewhat sudden death. He
had attained and completed the full age of eighty j'ears, yet from his abil-
ity to labor in these later years he may well have indulged hopes of
being able to continue to labor until he had completed and prepared the
whole work for publication.

INTRODUCTION. v

It is Loped that these quite large collections may be availed of in the
prc'pai-ation of the genealogies of the farailies to which they belong, of
tlic greater number of which no genealogy has as yet been pubUshe'd.
It is now thought best to pubhsh so much of the work as has been
prepared, and which is in a suitable condition for publication.

The account of the first five generations brings the history down to
the close of the Revolutionary War. This account will show the work
they did in subduing the wilderness and preparing for themselves com-
fortable habitations, as well as the work they did in olher industrial
pursuits which were necessary for the comfort of the people.

Many of the family rendered service in the wars with the Indians,
and later with their neighbors, the French, while in the Revolutionary
War most of those of the name within the age of military service were
soldiers either in the Continental Army or in answering the constant
demands made upon the militia.

They were all educated in the common schools, but none of the name
had availed himself of a college education until the sixth generation,
from which we find three graduates, — two from Brown, and one from
Harvard College.

During the Revolutionary War, and more particularly at its close,
there was a large emigration from the older towns of Massachusetts
and from Rhode Island, especially from the towns on the seaboard, to
the western part of Massachusetts and extending into Vermont, and
subsequently continued into the unsettled and fertile portions of New
York.

Many of the descendants of John Tower were engaged in this move-
ment. They had become acquainted with much of the outlying wilder-
ness during frequent marches to Crown Point and Ticonderoga, the
objective points of the opposing forces during the Old French and the
early part of the Revolutionary War. In the older portions of the State
the lands had been suljjected to division, so that there was little left to
provide for the wants of all the members so constantly appearing in
their somewhat prolific families. The long years of the continuance of
the latter war had sulliced to sweep from the ocean almost every vestige
of the commerce the colonies had enjoyed under the protecting flag of
the mother country. Peace brought to a close all privateering adven-
ture, wherein the hardihood of the few remaining sailors had found
exorcise.

The promising field for labor and enterprise was westward in the
wilderness, and here they went to repeat the work of their ancestors in
subduing it. Here they succeeded in making themselves comfortable
homes, from which succeeding generations have gone througiiout the
whole extent of our domain, and they are now found in nearly every
State in the Union.

vi INTRODUCTION.

Much has been collected showing what acquisitions they made ; but
tiie limits proposed for this volume will prevent a proper presentation of
what the descendants of the later generations have done to improve
their temporal condition, or to show their advancement in intellectual
work, or how well they have borne their part in the various callings
of business and enterprise, in scientific pursuits, or in the learned
professions.

It is hoped that the publication of this volume will lead some other
member or members of the family to continue it to such completion as
will lead to the publication of the large amount of material which Mr.
Tower had collected.

Appended hereto is a brief account of Mr. Tower as it appears in the
publication of the Pennsylvania Historical Society hereinbefore men-
tioned, with slight correction and change.

Mr. Tower's descent from John Tower is shown fully in the Genea-
logy. His father, Reuben Tower, a well-known and public- spirited
man, born at Rutland, Worcester County, Massachusetts, on the lOth
day of February. 1787, and married In the Township of Paris on the
15th day of February, 1808, was active in tiie development of the pub-
lic improvements of his time, in the State of New York, notal)ly in
connection with the Chenango Canal ; and was also a member of the
Legislature of New York in 1828. He died at the age of forty-five, on
the 14th of March, 1832, in St. Augustine, Florida, where he had gone
for his health. His mother, Deborah Taylor (Pearce) Tower, was born
at Little Compton, in Rhode Island, on the 6th day of July, 1785.

Mr. Tower's education was begun in his native place, and carried on
subsequently at the Oxford Academy in Chenango County, and at the
Clinton Academy, and the Utica Academy in Oneida County, New York.
It is worthy of note that he taught school in the common schools of the
townships of Paris and Marshall, in Oneida County, for two consecu-
tive years, when he was but fourteen and fifteen years of age ; and in
1825 he was assistant teacher in the Utica Academy. He was also shortly
after engaged in business as a clerk with Messrs. Hart and Gridley,
merchants, in Utica. In 1820 his father took him to Cambridge, Massa-
chusetts, and placed him under the tutorship of Rev. Caleb Stetson, to
prepare him for admission to Harvard University. He entered the
Freshman class at Han-ard in February, 1827, and was graduated there
in the year 1830. Among his classmates was Charles Sumner, between
whom and Mr. Tower a very close friendship grew up, which continued
through many years, and lasted until Mr. Sumner's death.

After graduation Mr. Tower began, in 1831, the study of the law, in
the office of Hon. Harmanus Bleeker, in Albany. New York. The death
of his father occurring in the next year, his family interests recalled him

INTRODUCTION. VU

to Waterville, Oneida Count}', New York, the home of his famil}-, where
he continued his studies. He went later to New Yorli Citj-, and finished
his stud}' of the law in the ofHce of Messrs. John L. and James L.
Graham. He was admitti'd to practice in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, at Utica, in October, 1836. He began the pro-
fession in New York City in the office of Messrs. Graham and San-
ford, continued it later in Waterville, and was engaged at the latter
place for some years in manufacturing and commercial pursuits. Re-
turning however to his practice, he won a foremost place at the bar
of Oneida Count}'.

.Some legal questions that arose in connection with his practice took
him to Pennsylvania in 1846, for the examination of the title to large
bodies of mineral land lying chiefly in the County of Schuylkill. Eesult-
ing from this, Mr. Tower married Amelia Malvina Bartle, the daughter
of Lambert B. Hartle and Sarah (Herring) Bartle, his wife, at Orwigs-
burg, on the 14th day of June, 1847, by whom he had one son and six
daughters. His legal interests induced him to take up his residence
in Pennsylvania, which he did in the Spring of 1848, at Orwigsburg, at
that time the county-seat of Schuylkill County, where he lived until
1850,jvhen, upon the removal of the county-seat to Pottsville, he also
moved his residence to that place. He lived in Pottsville from 1850 to
1875.

Mr. Tower's career at the bar in Pennsylvania brought him in con-
tact with some of the most difficult and intricate questions of law, more
especially upon the subject of titles to lands. The great coal-fields of
the State had become the subject of wide-spread litigation, which led to
the trial of cases that frequently involved estates of large value, and the
conduct of which called into action the best legal talent of the day. Mr.
Tower's life during this period of more than twenty-five years was ex-
ceedingly active and laborious. It was his custom to prepare his cases
for trial, not only with a wonderful nicety of detail, so that in coming
before the court he was prepared to meet the most exacting inquiry, but
he would also go out upon the lands themselves, which often lay in
a mountainous country, almost inaccessible by reason of thick forests
and heavy undergrowth, and would run the lines and establish the
monuments himself, in company with his engineers.

His excellent training in early life, his patient labor and untiring in-
dustry, as well as his good judgment in questions of law, and his able
treatment of them, won for him a standing at the bar among the fore-
most lawyers in Pennsylvania. While his devotion to the interests of
his clients, and his sterling integrity as a man, brought him a very wide
practice, his opinion upon questions of title was esteemed so higlily
that it is not unusual, even now, to hear him quoted in open court
as authority.

Viu INTRODUCTION.

Mr. Tower was the leading counsel in the famous trials that arose
out of questions relating to the Muuson and Williams estate, in Schuyl-
kill County, comprising a large bodj- of coal lands, the litigation in re-
gard to which he carried along for more than twenty-five years. He
mastered it, and perfected the title to these lands, which are now the
propertj- of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company ; and
his footsteps may be traced through many other great legal battles in
different counties of Pennsylvania.

At the breaking out of the War of the Rebellion, Mr. Tower's loyalty
to the Union was instant and decisive. Although he was fifty-two years
of age, and long accustomed to the sedentary habits of his profession,
he determined to take the field. He enlisted a body of two hundred
and seventy men within one week, at Pottsville, and proceeded with
them to Harrisburg. where they were mustered into the service of the
United States on the 21st day of April, 1861. They were divided into
two whole companies and part of a third, and attached to the Sixth
Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, in the three months' campaign.
Mr. Tower, having asked to be made captain, received his commission
at the time of their entering the sei-vice, and commanded, throughout its
term, one of his companies, — Company H, Sixth Regiment. He was
under the command of Gen. Robert Patterson, and moved into Virginia
by wa}- of Chambersburg and Hagerstown, crossing the Potomac River
at Williamsport, June 21, 1861, and taking part in the action at Falling
Waters, very early in the war. Mr. Tower provided uniforms for his
whole company at his own expense. He was mustered out of service
■with his men at the end of their term of service at Harrisburg, on the
26lh of July, 1861, whence he returned to his family. Afterwards he
paid a bounty of five dollars a man to a full company, recruited for
three years by Capt. Henry Pleasants (his second lieutenant in the
three months' campaign, — later Brigadier-General). This was Com-
pany C, Forty- Eighth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, which per-
formed much honorable service and became distinguished in the war.

On the 15th of August, 1861, Mr. Tower's men, who had served
under him in the campaign, marched to his residence in Pottsville,
and presented him with an exceedingly handsome sword, bearing this
inscription : —

Presented by the Tower Guards, of Pottsville, Pa.,

To Capt. Charlemagne Tower,
As a token of their respect for him as a man and
soldier, and of their esteem for him as a friend.
August 10, 1861.

Mr. Tower was appointed United States Provost Marshal for the
Tenth Congressional District of Pennsylvania on the 18th of April,

INTRODUCTION. IX

1863, which commission he held until his resignation on the 1st of
Ma}', 18G4, during a period of great national anxiety and many diffi-
culties that at this time grew out of the carrying on of the war. His
administration was soldierl}-, vigorous, and consistent, and won for him
high distinction at Washington.

Mr. Tower continued in the practice of his profession after his return
from the war, until 1875, when he retired from activity at the bar, and
in the fidl of that year moved to Philadelphia, in order to devote himself
to his private interests in various industries and enterprises, which had
grown to be very large. During his residence in Pennsylvania he had
become owner of large bodies of coal land, and was director in several
corporations in which he was a party in interest. He was part-owner
in the well-known Coxe and Tower lands, on the Green Mountains, in
Schuylkill County. He was one of the original proprietors of the
Honey Brook Coal Company, and for many years one of its managers ;
and he took an active part, in conjunction with Mr. Charles Parrish and
Jlr. John Taylor Johnston, in transforming that successful enterprise
into the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. He was also
actively interested in the construction and management of the North-
ern Pacific Railroad, and a member of its board of directors for several
years. The assistance given by him to this road, by both personal
attention to its affairs and financial support, frequcntlj", when it became
necessary, was of very great value to the company, and Mr. Tower
may fairly be said to have conti-ibuted largely to its ultimate success.
His judgment and foresight in business affairs placed him among the
few men who never lost confidence in the value of this road, or in the
great future development of the country through which it has been
built.

The greatest and most successful undertaking, perhaps, of Mr. Tower's
long business career was his development of the iron resources of Min-
nesota, in the district now well known to the world as the Vermilion
Range. The presence of large deposits of iron ore in that counti-y
having been brougiit to liis attention about tlie year 1875, he made a
thorough investigation of tiieir quantity and value b}- sending out sev-
eral expeditions to explore them and report to him ; the result of which
having proved extremely favorable, lie concluded to proceed with their
actual development. The enterprise was a daring one. These ore
deposits lay in St. Louis County, Minnesota, some ninety miles north-
east from Duluth, and about seventy miles in a direct line north from
the north shore of Lake Superior. The country was denselj- wooded,
was traversed b}- manj- small streams and broken by long stretches of
swamp that in the summer season were almost impassable. Provisions,
as well as materials and supplies, could only be transported in mid-
winter, laboriously, over the frozen ground and on the snow, frequenth'

X INTRODUCTION.

at a temperatm'e of fortj- degrees Fahrenheit below zero, and in the sum-
mer carried upon the backs of men, or over a circuitous route by Indians
in canoes. The opening and working of the iron mines at this great
distance from the outskirts of civilization implied a formidable expendi-
ture ; but this was far surpassed by the necessitj' of constructing a rail-
road seventy miles long to the nearest water communication, the shore
of Lake Superior, and equipping it, in order to transport the product of
the mines to market, and the construction of sufBeient dock and harbor
facilities for vessels to receive it at the water's edge. Man}- experienced
business men, consulted in regard to the enterprise, drew back from an
undertaking fraught with so nianj- and so great dangers. But Mr.
Towers's courage was supported by his judgment derived from careful
and systematic investigation, and he determined, at the age of seventy-
three, to carry out his purpose single-handed. After having acquired
title to the lands which contained the ore deposits, and also to a body
of land lying upon Lake Suj^erior, known then as Burlington Baj- and
Agate Bay, which he afterwards called Two Harbors, he formed in
1883 two companies, the Minnesota Iron Company and the Duluth and
Iron Range Railroad Company-, the former of which owned the latter.
He built the railroad from the mines at Lake Vermilion to Two Har-
bors, on Lake Superior, seventy miles ; erected large docks, rotmd-
houses, machine shops, and saw-mills, and provided equipment for the
transportation of the ore, besides carrying along the development of
the mines in order that their product might be ready for shipment at
the completion of the railroad. The iron ore lay in veins, tilted into a
position almost vertical, extending for more than a mile in a northeast-
erly and southwesterly direction, and varying in thickness from forty to
one hundred and fifty feet. The ore was a hard specular hematite,
3-ielding by analysis sixty-eight per cent of metallic iron, and from
one thirty -thousandtii to one fifty-thousandth of phosphorus, free from
sulphur and all refractor}- substance.

Mr. Tower caiTiod along this enterprise with vigor and determination
until August, 1884, when the railroad was completed and put into op-
eration, and the first shipments of ore were made from Two Harbors to
Cleveland. These shipments met with great favor after having been
largely distributed among the iron and steel manufacturers of Ilhnois,
Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and almost from its commencement Mr.
Tower's enterprise was pi'oved to be successful. The country opened
very rapidly, and soon after a considerable town, called Tower, grew up
on the shore of Lake Vermilion, and another at Two Harbors ; whilst
along the line of the railroad lumbering interests, the quarrying of
granite, and various industries sprang up with the increase of popula-
tion. In 1886 the raiload line was constructed along the shore of Lake
Superior, twenty-seven miles, to Duluth. The annual shipments of ore

INTRODUCTION. xi

from thu mines at Tower, which in 1884, at the opening of the raih-oad,
were sixty-eight thousand tons, increased in 1885 to two hundred and
twenty-flvc tliousand tons, in 1886 to three hundred thousand tons, and
in 1887 to four hundred thousand tons. This industry, planted by the
energy and courage of a single man in a remote and dillicult countrj-,
placed the State of Minnesota, hitherto unknown as a mineral-producing
district, in the space of four years among the foremost iron markets of
the United States, employed fifteen hundred men in its mines, and gave
support, directly and indirectly, to more than five thousand people. It
is not too much to say that this was one of the most remarkable devel-
opments ever made in the United States. Its value to Minnesota, and
indeed to the whole country of the Northwest, in the benefits that are
likely to be derived from it, is almost incalculable. Mr. Tower in it
erected a proud monument to himself as a man and a benefactor of his
fellow-man that will endure and grow greater as time goes on.

In the year 1887 it was found that valuable deposits of iron ore ex-
isted througiiout a long stretch of country lying to the east and north-
east of the Minnesota Iron Company's property at Tower. These were
explored after the opening of the railroad, and they had been acquired
by various individual owners and companies, who were ready to open
new mines upon the extension to them of the railroad by which they
might reach a market with their product. Mr. Tower concluded that,
having carried out successfully his own undertaking, he did not wish
singly to build the road to an unlimited extent in order to supply the
demands that naturally arose as the country was more fully explored ;
neither did he wish to separate his railroad from the mines at Tower by
transferring its ownership from the Minnesota Iron Company. He there-
fore concluded to make a combination with a syndicate formed in New
York and Chicago, which already had large interests to the cast of him.

Those gentlemen bought from him his entire property in Maj', 1887,
which he then transferred to them, retaining, however, an interest con-
siderably smaller than his former holding in the new organization which
they formed, called the Minnesota Mining and Railroad Syndicate.
This arrangement was highly advantageous in a financial sense to Blr.
Tower, who now had the gratification of having proved the wisdom of
his foresight, and of having seen his great undertaking carried through
to an eminently successful issue, and in a very short time. lie retained
the presidencj- of the Minnesota Iron Company, at the request of the
syndicate, until October, 1887, when he resigned his office ; whereupon
the Board of Directors, composed of the new owners, passed the follow-
ing resolution, which they had handsomely engraved and sent to him :

Resolved, That in thus severing, at his request, the active connection of Mr.
Tower with the Company, we desire to place upon the permanent records of

xii INTRODUCTION.

the organization our high appreciation of the great service he has performed
in developing and rendering successful the enterprise. Mr. Tower came to its
support in its infancy, and has been, from the beginning, its promoter and rul-
ing spirit, giving to it always, unselfishly, the benefit of his ripe judgment and
business experience, as well as unlimited aid from his own financial resources.
During all the years of his connection with it, including years of general finan-
cial distress and anxiety, he has never faltered, and the full measure of pros-
perity which the Company now enjoys is largely due to his personal efforts,
and is a sufficient tribute at once to his business capacity and his patient cour-
age. We exceedingly regret that Mr. Tower feels compelled to retire from
the service of the Company, but beg to assure him that he carries with
him the gratitude and best wishes of the Board and of all interested iu the
property.

Mr. Tower was a man of cultivated tastes, a lover of books, particu-
larly of those relating to the history of America. He was one of the
first to recognize the importance of the comparative study of American
colonial law. His unrivalled collection on this subject was begun nearly
forty years ago, and was latterly supplemented with many rare and
costly works belonging to the general field of Americana. He was a
member of the Board of Overseers of Harvard University from 1884
until his death. He died at his summer residence in Waterville, Oneida
County, New York, on the 24th of July, 1889, in the eighty-first year
of his age.

Mr. Tower's life was one of integrity, patient labor, and of great good
to others with whom he has lived. His influence extended very widely
throughout the United States. As a citizen, in peace and in war, and
as a professional man, iu business and in private life, his career made
him one of the remarkable men of his country and of his time.

John Tower was born in the parish of Hingham, in tlie county
of Norfolk, in the eastern part of England. An examination of
the parish records shows the following entries : —

" Robert Tower and Dorotliy D.imon were married, Aug. 31, 1607."
"John, child of Robert Tower, was baptized May 14, 1C09."
" Dorithe, the wife of Robert Tower, was buried Nov. 10, 1G29."
'•Robert Tower was buried, May 1, 1C34."

This is the whole record of the family of Robert Tower as found
ill the Hingham parish records, and the name of Tower is nowhere
else found in them, and all attempts to find the ancestry of Robert
Tower have been unsuccessful.

The name is a significant one, and we find it in other parts
of England, in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland ; but in most cases

I

2 THE TOWER GEXEALOGY.

the name is spelled with the terminal "s," — "Tovrers," — and in
Scotland we meet with the spelling " Towar." Descendants of
the families of tlicse several localities are now to be found in this
country- ; but by far the greater part who bear the name are the
descendants of John Tower, and these have preserved the ances-
tral spelling of the name for more than two hundred and fifty
years, with only occasional corruptions in si)elling and jirunun-
ciation, — as in " Tour " and " Tore."

That the parents of John Tower were in comparatively humble
circumstances in life we may infer from tlie fact that they failed
to give their only child so much instruction as would enal)le liim
to write his name ; or else his omission to write his name to the
various instruments he was called upon to execute duriuL'' his long
and somewhat eventful life must have arisen from some physical
cause or accident. His contemporaries in emigration, many of
whom were born and reared in the same parish, were for the most
part instructed in the elements of knowledge ; they could write,
and some of tliem with an elegance of penmanship not surpassed
at the present day. The earlier records, both of the proprietors
and town, bear evidence of this.

The causes which led John Tower to leave a comfortable home
in England for the hardships of a life in tiie wilderness, were prob-
ably those which induced so many others to emigrate during the
period between 1030 and 1C40. Tiie story has been so often told
iu history that it is only necessary to mention it briefly in a
personal narrative.

The long contest both in civil and ecclesiastical affairs in Eng-
land must reach a result either in suppression or success. The
advocates for a change seemed to see their opportunity in emigra-
tion, and embraced it. Among the parishes in sympathy with the
Puritanic movement was that of Hingham, where Robert Pecli had
been installed as rector a few years before Jolm Tower was born,
and under whose ministry John Tower had passed the whole period
of his life.

Robert Peck had become so decided in the expression of his
opinions as to call for admonition and reform from his superior.
Bishop Wren ; and under the more forceful administration of Laud,
he was reduced to the alternative of submission or flight. He
chose the latter, and with many of his parishioners, among whom
was John Tower, came to New England in 1637. ^ The chronicler
says that many of these sold out their possessions at a great sac-
rifice. It does not appear from any record what the possessions
of John Tower were. In this emigration it was the practice
of young men who wished to come, and who were without the

means to defraj the expense of a passage and to establish them-
selves, to bind themselves to service to others in better condition
for these purposes. The ancestors of some of our now opulent
people came into New England as servants.

John Tower, however, seems to have had means sufficient to
paj his passage, and to establish himself in the colony.

In a record kept by Daniel Gushing, a town clerk, who made
manv records of the early settlement of Hingham and of those
who came from England, we find the following : —

'•■]$37 — .John Tower and Samuel Lincoln came from Old Hingham.
and boih settled at New Hingham-"

A few persons were here as early as 1633, but large accessions
were made in 1635 by people from Old Hingham and from neigh-
boring parts of Norfolk county, — when a church was gathered,
and the proprietors received from the colony a grant of the land
in the limits of the township.

The Rev. Peter Hobart had been called to be the pastor of the
church. He was a few years the senior of John Tower, was born
in the same parish, educated at, and graduated from, Magdalen
College, and seems to have imbibed under the ministrations of his
teacher, Robert Peck, the Puritanic sentiment of religious faith
and practice.

When John Tower arrived in New England he was not a stranger
to the people among whom he came. Some were of his own par-
ish.— among whom all the years of his life had been passed, and
among whom he was to live through all the rest of his life, — and
the following year many more came, the most of them from Old
Hingham.

The land within the township was granted to those designated
as proprietors, which included all such as should thereafter be ad-
mitted ; and these lands were given or granted to the several pro-
prietors by vote, and the vote, being recorded in the proprietors'
records, is the evidence of the grant and the title to the land.

These lands were granted for several and distinct purposes,
which grew out of their situation and want. They needed a com-
pact settlement for social and reliorious purposes, — they had been
accustomed to village life in Old England for many generations, —
and for suitable and mutual aid in protection from the savages
they must live near together.

A colonial ordinance limited the granting of house-lots to a
distance of half a mile from the meeting-house. In the laying
out of the house-lots in Hingham this ordinance received such

4 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

liberal interpretation as to extend about one mile. John Tower's
house-lot was about one fourth of a mile from the meeting-house.
These house-lots were limited in size to the supposed wants of the
occupants, varying from three to ten acres. John Tower had a
lot of three acres, sufficient for a residence and centrally situated,
but of little value for agricultural purposes. For this latter and
most important purpose, lands of greater extent were granted to
all to wiiora house-lots were granted.

These lots were at a distance varying from one to three miles
from the house-lot. As the earlier settlers of Massachusetts
brought with them a stock of cattle, the lands which would furnish
these cattle with an immediate supply of food were of the greatest
value. These lands were the salt meadows bordering upon the
many indentations of the sea, and the fresh meadows bordering
upon the running streams, and where the industrious beaver had
by constructed dams converted wooded swamps into a condition
for bearing crops of coarse and luxuriant grass. As these lands
were quite limited in area, they were granted in small parcels, that
all might ho accommodated. There was another value these lands
had, in the long and coarse grass which grew upon the immediate
banks of the creeks, and which was used for thatching the roofs of
the earlier dwellings.

It is to be understood that these lands were granted without any
consideration, except the terms as expressed in the several votes
of the proprietors, and were to be held in fee-simple, free from
conditions of servitude, and subject to the obligations as the pro-
prietors had made by their recorded votes, as follow : —

1G35, Sept. 18-28. " It is agreed upon that every man that is admitted
to bo a townsman and have lots granted them shall bear charges both to
church and commonwealth proportionable to their abilities, and in case
they shall sell their lots they shall first tender them to the town ; and in
case the town shall refuse to give what it shall be worth, or find a chapman
to buy it, tlien it shall be lawful for them to sell it ; always provided it be
to an honest man that shall be placed into the said lot or lots."

" It is likewise agreed upon by a joint and general vote of the freemen
that all cedar and pine swamps be in common, and preserved to the town's
use, although any should fall into any man's lot."

The Proprietors' Records show the following grants of land as
made to John Tower (page 68), 1637 : —

" The several parcels of land and meadow legally given unto John
Tower by the town of Hingham.

" Given unto John Tower by the town for a house-lot, three acres of
land lying on Bachelor Street, bounded with the land of William Ludkin,

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 5

Northwestward, and with the hiud of Thomas Shaw, Southeastward,
butting upon tlie street Eastward, and upon the common Westward.

"Given unto John Tower by the town for a great lot, ten acres of land
lying upon the great plain in the first furlong to the eastward of the centre,
butting upon the highways eastward and westward, bounded with the
land of John Tucker iS'orthward, and with the land of Thomas Barnes
southward.

" Given unto John Tower by the town for a planting lot, three acres of
land lying in the plain neck, and one acre more at the end of the same for
an addition, bounded with the land of William Ludkin soutliwestward,
and with the land of Henry Rust northeastward, butting upon the com-
mon northward and southward."

" Given unto John Tower by the town, one acre and half of Salt Marsh
on the north side of Layford Lyking river, next unto Ralph Woodward."

This last-named grant John Tower lost through the failure of
the Ilingham proprietors to maintain their title to the same
against the Hull liroprietors, in an issue before the colonial
authorities. He received satisfaction for the loss by the fol-
lowing grant : —

"1647. Given unto John Tower by the town, one acre and half of
Salt Marsh at Conyhassett : it is the 29 lot in the first division, bounded
with the meadow of James Buck northward, and with the meadow
of Daniel Gushing westward, and with the cove. Eastward and South-
ward, — which meadow was given for satisfaction for meadow given him
at Nantascutt.

" 1G47. Given unto him one acre of Salt Marsh at Conyhassett.
It is the 30th lot in the third division, bounded with the meadow of Mr.
Bozoon Allen northward, and with the meadow of Matthew Hawke
southward ; \vith the river eastward, and with the town's land westward ;
and he is to have all the abovesaid parcels of land and meadow to him and
his heirs forever, be they more or less, as they were measured.

" 1649. Given unto John Tower by the town, a small parcel of
upland lying between Bachelor Street and the Salt Marsh of Thomas
Loriug."

John Tower does not appear to have built a house upon the lot
granted iiim for that purpose by the town, as he sold it the next
year. We find in tlie town records the following : —

"1638. Edward Cooper have bo't three acres of upland of John
Tower, next to William Ludkin, which was given him by the town for a
house-lot."

In this same year, 1638, John Tower made purchase of sev-
eral parcels of land of Thomas Shaw, who owned the adjoining

6 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

house-lot, and upon which he had erected a house, but who had
removed to Barnstable, in Plymouth Colony. This sale appears
upon the Town Records, and it would seem that the sale was satis-
factory to the town, and that the provisions of the vote in making
the grant of the land had been complied with in obtaining for a
purchaser " an honest man." The deed of the several parcels of
land was made many years subsequent to the sale, for in the Suf-
folk Records of Deeds, book 8, page 146, and dated June 30, 1665,
is found recorded the deed of Thomas Shaw to John Tower, con-
veying the several parcels of land as they appear in the town
records in 1638. The deed is acknowledged before Thomas
Hinckley, assistant in the government of New Plymouth, and
recorded May 10, 1673, thirty-five years after the sale. It recites
as follows : —

'* Thomas Sliaw, sometime of Hingham, but now of Barustable, in the
Gov. of New Plymouth, planter, in consideration of a valuable sum
of money conveys to John Tower, of Hingham, yeoman, ' All that my
dwelling house and house lot adjoining to it, with another parcel of plant-
ing ground, and my great lot, as also a parcel of marsh Meadow, all lying
and being in Hingham aforesaid, and as it was given and granted to me
by the inhabitants of the said Hingham, together with all and singular the
profits, common, privileges, and appurtenances to all and every the said
premises belonging or any ways appertaining, the said house lot lying
or being at the place there commonly called Bachelor's Street, and con-
taining three acres, be it more or less, bounded northwestward by the
laud of said John Tower, southeastward with the land of Joseph Fhippen,
southwestward by the common, and northeastward by said Bachelor Street.
The other parcel of planting land aforesaid, lying and being at a place
called the " Old Planters' Hill," containing three acres, be it more or less,
bounded southerly by the land of Joseph Andrews, westerly by the sea,
easterly by the land of Thomas Wakely, and northerly by the lands of
Thomas Wakely, — my great lot aforesaid, lying and being at the place
there commonly called the great plain, and containing twelve acres, be it
more or less, bounded easterly, westerly, and southerly by the highway,
and northerly by the lands of Thomas Chubbuck, — and the parcels of
Marsh meadow aforesaid, lying and being at the place commonly called the
home meadow, containing three acres, be it more or be it less, bounded
northerly by the cove, westerly by the upland, southerly bj" the Marsh of
Thomas Loring, and easterly by the cove.' "

Other grants and purchases of lands were made to and by John
Tower, which will be noticed as we proceed. He also sold lands,
thougli but few of these sales are found in the records.

That John Tower was in sympathy with the whole movement
which led to the settlement of New England will appear from the

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. •

fact that on Dec. 13, 1638, he made application to be made a free-
man of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. As none hut members of
the churches could be admitted as freemen, it would appear that
he had qualified himself for admission, as his application was
granted on the IStli of March, 1G38-9.

He had already taken some part in the business of the town,
and had been joined with some of the principal inhabitants in a
committee for important business, as the record recites : —

" ] G38, Dec. 5. By a joint consent and general vote the freemen Lave
chosen and deputed Mr. Joseph Hull, Anthony Eames, Samuel Ward, John
Porter, and Joseph Andrews to Join with John Otis and Jolm Tower, as
tliey were measured, to lay out the great lots to tlie eastward of the river
in order with ' conveuieulsie ' as may be, with all expedition."

Pendint^ the petition of John Tower for admission to the free-
dom of tiie colony, another petition of more importance to this
genealogy had been grauted, as appears by Rev. Peter Hobart's
record, wherein, under date of Feb. 13, 1638-9, we find : " John
Tower and Margaret Ibrook married at Charlestown."
/ Margaret Ibrook was the daughter of Ricliard Ibrook, of whom
we have but brief account. He was among the early settlers of
Ilingham, having a grant of a house-lot on what is now Lincoln
Street, but known in the earlier records as " Broad Cove." The
two lots next to his northward were granted to William Cockram
and to William Cockerill, respectively, who appear to be sons-in-
law of Richard Ibrook.

Richard Ibrook came to Hingliam with his wife — whose name I
have been unable to learn — and three unmarried daughters, —
Ellen, Margaret, and Rebecca. Ellen married Joshua Hobart, a
brother of Rev. Peter Hobart, 1638 ; Margaret married John
Tower, as above ; and Rebecca married Rev. Peter Hobart. She
was his second wife. There appear to be no means for finding the
dates of the births of either Ellen or Margaret. Rev. Nehemiah
Hobart, a grandson of Rev. Peter and Rebecca (Ibrook) Hobart,
has tlie following among his records, namely : —

" 1693. Sept. 9. Died my Ilonl Grandmother, Rebecca Hobart, as. 73,
hved in New England 55 years."

This would give the date of her coming 1638, three years sub-
sequent to the date of the grant of a house-lot to her father.

Tlie following records are found in Rev. Peter Hobart's
Diary : —

" 1642, Oct. 3 — Brother Cockram sayled for England."

" 1651, Nov. 14— Mr. Ibrook dyed."

" 1664, April 4 — Mother ibrook dyed."

8 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

Richard Ibrook left no son, and the name disappears as a
surname and has been preserved as a given name among the
descendants of his daughters, as Ibrook Tower, Ibrook Hobart,
and Ibrook Whipple.

The fact that John Tower made a considerable purchase of laud
soon after his arrival, and made it for a valuable consideration,
would show that he, like many others of the settlers of Hingham,
was possessed of property in England, and that he, like them, was
compelled to make large sacrifice in the sale of it.

And now, in the year 1639, at the age of thirty years, we find
John Tower a member of one of the early towns of the Massa-
chusetts Bay Colony, a member of the church gathered there, and
brought by his marriage into relationship to the minister of it, and
to his brother, a leader in the affairs of town, church and state,
and a member of the chartered corporation to which he has been
elected a freeman.

An inventory of his possessions in realty will show a house-lot
centrally situated, on which is his dwelling-house, probably of
limited dimensions and rude construction, with a thatch-covered
roof, to which his bride will bring sucli household furnishings
as maidens of tliat period were accustomed to prepare from wheel
and loom for so reasonably an anticipated contingency. Next is
his planting lot in the plain neck of four acres, moi'c than a mile
distant from his home, as the way then was. The salt-marsh of
one and one-half acres on the north side of the river of quaint
name, now known as Wear, or Weir, river, could be reached by land
travel only by a circuitous I'oute of some ten miles ; but as this
soon passed from his possession, it was probably of little use to
him. The salt-marsii given to him by the town instead of this,
and another piece in the vicinity, were still farther from liis
home. The salt-marsh of three acres which he bouglit of Thomas
Shaw was near his home, while the lot of three acres at " Old
Planter's Hill " was about two miles away.

The great lots granted and purchased, containing together
twenty-two acres, were more than two miles from his home. In
addition to these he had a common right to the lands not granted.
These lands as they became cleared of the forest were made avail-
able for the pasturage of cattle and sheep. As the planters
brought much stock witii them, we may suppose that Jolm Tower
had such supply as would enable iiim to carry on the work of
subduing the forest and so cultivating the soil thus cleared as to
supply the means of supporting his family.

To the business man of the present day it would appear that in
the allotment of lands to the several inhabitants, of wliich John

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 9

Tower's is a very good illustration, all tlie laws of ccoiiom\^ in
the expenditure of time and force in their cultivation, were set
at defiance. The daily travel to and from the.se lands consumed
no small portion both of time and energy, and became a total loss
when these elements for subduing a wilderness were of so much
importance. This sacrifice was made, as before stated, in obedi-
ence to former habits of life and work in England, the importance
the early settlers attached to convenience for social religious wor-
ship, and the management of those common affairs which grow out
of their new condition, and wiiich taxed their ability to conduct.
After the Pequot war of 1630, a year after the settlement of the
town, the danger from the savages passed away for the period of
more time tlian is allotted to one generation, and did not appear
again until King Philip's war, in 1G75 ; and this war, so devastat-
ing to all the colonies of New England, brought but little loss to
the town of Hingham.

We can form some picture of the life of John Tower at this
period when we think of him as occupying a home about midway
in the settlement which extended irregularly about one mile on
either side of him, whose inhabitants had common objects and
common pursuits in subduing the wilderness and gaining a living
from the products of the soil.

It was an aid to the settlers in the clearing of the land of forest
that timber had an early value. The business of building vessels
sprang into considerable importance in Boston soon after its settle-
ment, and the ready means for transporting timber from Hingham
to Boston by water gave the town advantages over other places
before roads were constructed. The exception of the cedar and
pine swamps in all particular grants shows the value placed upon
that species of timljcr.

That John Tower engaged in tiiis work of preparing timber,
and that he and others, probably owing to imperfectly defined
boundaries, trespassed upon tlie common laud, would appear from
the following order in the first volume of the Town Records : —

"1641, Sept. 4. — These bills be discharged for eight pence a tree, —
John Tower, ten trees ; Steplicn Payne, si.x; trees ; George Lane, fifteen
trees ; Anthony E.-imes, four trees ; Thomas Nicliols, four trees ; Nicholas
Jacob, .John Foulsliam, thirty trees.

" It is likewise ordered and agreed upon that every tree that is not now
brought in and submitted to the fine of eight pence a tree to the town's use,
having so lawful a warning of their .agreement, upon their tender shall pay
ten shillings for every tree so proved according to tlie former order,
although it be now repealed. l<\irtlier, it is agreed tliat all those fines of

10 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

8 pence a tree are to be paid into the town's use by the 29th of September
next, and are to be emploj'ed to the buying of a drum.

" All these have tendered themselves to the pleasure of the town of
8 pence a tree as followeth, — John Sutton, Thomas Barnes, Richard
Osborne, Thomas Gill, Andrew Lane, for twenty^ oak-trees, and promise
payment as aforesaid."

There had been a previous order passed, Feb. 20, 1640-41, in
relation to the preservation of trees, —

" That from the date hereof, thenceforth there shall be no tree or trees
cut or felled upon the way, upon the pain of twenty shillings, to be levied
to the use of the town, because all good trees are to be preserved for the
shading of cattle in the summer time, and for the exercising of the military
affairs."

The passage of this order within five or six years of a settle-
ment in the wilderness, together with the later one calling tres-
passers to account, indicates the value that the timber had reached,
and the rapidity witli which the work of clearing the land had been
carried on.

The value of the price, eight pence, of a tree, and that of the
fines imposed, will be seen by comparing these sums with the pro-
duct of a day's work of a laborer as fixed by a colonial law.

" It is ordered that laborers shall not take above 12'' a day for their
work, nor above C and meat and drink."

It would require two thirds of a day's work of a laboring man
to pay for a tree ; and the severity of a fine of ten shillings will be
appreciated when it is seen tliat it measures the value of ten days'
work.

The conditions of the life of John Tower and of his fellow-
townsmen may be imagined, by remembering how distant most
of their lands, adapted to cultivation, were from their several
homes, and the amount of travel involved in their ordinary
rounds of daily industry.

On any bright, early morning would be seen emerging from their
several homesteads all the able working male members of the fam-
ily, with such force of teams as they might possess, wending their
way to their respective allotments, making the old woods vocal
with their varied forms of industry, in felling trees, preparing and
hauling such as were suitable for building either houses or ships,
to the several landings for transportation, making the land fit for
cultivation by burning the brush and the wood worthless for tim-
ber, and with narrow and pointed harrows, constructed of logs,

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 11

scarifying the surface, whereupon they scattered the seeds of rye,
barley, and wheat, waiting in hope and patience for their fruition
in fields of harvest. Following which came the heavy team-work
of removing the stumps into huge heaps, that wind and sun might
fit them for a holocaust of flame, leaving the land root-tenant-
less for the plough, rude in construction, with mould-board thick
studded in broad-hcadcd nails and such scraps of iron as their
scanty means might furnish ; not easy of draught, but turning
up the virgin soil to air and sunliglit, and making it ready for that
best of all New England crops, Indian corn, congenial to soil and
climate, and stimulated to its growth by the migratory alewivcs,
so opportune in season and abundant in supply as to warrant an
especial grant of privilege by the order that " Thomas Loring,
Clement Bates, Nicholas Jacob, and Joseph Andrews shall have
the river called Layford's Liking, to build, erect, and set up a
wear to take the fish that usually cometh into the said river, called
by the name of alcwives ; ... to charge the freemen 2/ 6'' per
thousand for the fish," — with the provision that " the grant shall
continue seven years." And that a fair distribution of this lively
fertilizer might be enjoyed, the land in the vicinity of this wear
was granted in small parcels, varying from one to five acres ; John
Tower having four acres, so tliat his transportation of this ferti-
lizer was made convenient, while calling for some ten thousand
fish for the suitable dressing of an acre of land at a cost of 25s.,
to be accounted for in a crop of fifty bushels to the acre, which at
the oft-regulated price of 2*'. per bushel would make a disburse-
ment of the value of one fourth part of the crop for this fertilizing
clement in its production, — a rule of proportion recognized in
New England for more than two centuries in the elements of the
cost of a crop of Indian corn ; namely, the use of the land, the
preparation of the same, tlie fertilizer, and the labor of cultivation,
— each severally representing one quarter part of the cost of the
crop whenever disjointed capital and labor made bargain for mu-
tual benefit, — an early recognition of the principle that labor should
share in the profits of an undertaking whenever it became one of
the instruments of production, and altandoned only when labor
increased its demands beyond the power of capital to supply.

There seems to be nothing of importance to note during the five
or six years following .John Tower's marriage, exce[>ting his giv-
ing hostage of good citizenship to the commonwealth in the birth
of three sons, who made their appearance with the accustomed
regularity of the earlier New England families. We have every
reason to suppose that he was improving his condition liy his in-
dustry, though from the daily travel of so long distances to the

12 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

place of labor much of that industry was wasted ; and it is a matter
of curiosity to tlie historian to note the fact that often in commu-
nities and people, habits of worii and business which grew out of
necessity will continue long after the necessity has passed away,
even when the accustomed habit is attended with disadvantage
and loss ; and so for nearly two centuries tlie descendants of John
Tower and others continued to cultivate the lands of their an-
cestors after the primitive method, to be abandoned only when
the increased facilities for transportation from more fertile
regions made these lands valueless for cultivation as formerly
conducted.

In tbe year 1644 John Tower was involved with others of his
townsmen in a serious difficulty, to whicli not only the inhab-
itants of tlw town, but the whole colony, became parties, and
which raised important questions both in civil and ecclesiastical
affairs. The occasion of this difficulty was the election of a
person by the military company of the town, to be presented to
the colonial authorities for their approval.

It would seem that previous to this time the company had not
had a captain, but was under the command of Lieutenant Anthony
Eames ; but being directed to present one or more persons for the
office of captain, an election was held, and Lieutenant Eames was
chosen ; but before he received approbation or commission there
was some occasion of offence taken, whereupon the company chose
Bozoon Allen. Both of these were men of influence in the town
and church, and' such only were deemed worthy to hold a military
office of the importance of a captain.

The friends or partisans of both Eames and Allen attended the
meeting of the next General Court and presented their respective
claims, evidently under much excitement of feeling. Tlie Gen-
eral Court did not make an appointment, and the Hingham people
returned home, both parties apparently equally excited and un-
satisfied with the result, and bringing with them different and con-
flicting reports of the opinions of the magistrates and deputies.
Some of the magistrates appear to have favored Eames's claims on
account of his office and former service, thinking that Allen's
knowledge of military affairs was what he had obtained from
Eames, under whom he had been trained. Tlie deputies however
were not so generally agreed to this, and so the matter was not
decided.

After their return home Allen's friends appointed a training-
day, — "without the lieutenant's knowledge," — and when they
were assembled, the lieutenant made his appearance and claimed
the authority to exercise them by virtue of his office. The major-

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 13

itj of the company refused to obey him, but recognized Allen as
their commander, who exercised them two or three days.

In the dispute between Eamcs and liis opponents, Eames was
reminded of the advice given him by the magistrates tliat he
" should go home and honorably lay down his authority." This
Eames denied ; and the contest waxing warm, the lie was given.

The greater part of the contestants were freemen, and conse-
quently members of the church, and the affair was taken cogniz-
ance of by the chureli. Among those most earnest in their
opposition to Eames were Joshua Hobart and his two brothers,
and all brothers of the minister, Peter llobart, of whom Allen was
an especial friend. In this hearing Jolni Tower testified that one
magistrate did advise Eames to lay down his authority, and at
the conclusion of the hearing the minister was disposed to excom-
municate Eames. Whereupon Eames made complaint to the
magistrates, who sent warrant to tlie constable to attach the prin-
cipal offenders, — John Tower, the three Hobarts, and one otlier,
— and to bring them before the said magistrates. This being
done, they were ordered to give bonds, with sureties, for their
appearance. John Tower denied the authority of the court
in the premises, and was accordingly committed and sent to
prison.

Rev. Peter Hobart was so indignant at the arrest of his relatives
by the magistrates in a matter which he considered purely eccle-
siastical and within his own jurisdiction that he appeared before
the magistrates' court and protested against the action of the court
in sending the summons, and against tlieir jurisdiction in the case,
with so much vehemence that " the magistrates told him that
were it not for respect to his ministry they would commit him."

Before the return day at the next magistrates' court, a session
of the General Court was held, and a petition of Peter Hobart
and eighty others of Hingham was presented, asking the court to
consider the matter of the complaint of their petition, " to tliis
effect, that whereas some of tliem had been ijouiid over and others
committed by some of the magistrates for words spoken concern-
ing the power of the General Court, and their liberties and the
liberties of the church," etc., and requesting the court to liear their
case. Under this petition the court proceeded to hear the case,
the deputy-governor (Winthrop) being made the defendant or
impeacli('(l. To the charges of the petition tlie deputy-governor
made answer, wlicn the court proceeded to hear "the whole cause."
The result of tliis hearing at the " meeting house in Boston," in
the presence of " diverse of the elders and a great assembly of
people," as stated by Winthrop, is as follows : —

14 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

"Two of the magistrates and many of the deputies were of opinion that
the magistrates exercised too mucli power, and tliat the people's liberty
was thereby in danger ; and other of the deputies (being about half) and
all the rest of the magistrates were of a different judgment, and that
authority was overmuch slighted, which, if not timely remedied, would
endanger the commonwealth and bring us to a mere democracy. By
occasion of this difference there was not so orderly carriage at the hear-
ing as was meet, each side striving unseasonably to enforce the evidence,
and declaring their judgments thereupon. ... So the best part of two days
was spent in this public agitation and examination of witnesses, etc."

The magistrates and deputies in their several chambers spent
much time and debate before they could reach any agreement.
The magistrates were for censuring the petitioners and for im-
posing heavy fines upon " those who were bound over and others
that were parties to the disturbance at Hingham," to which the
deputies would not consent ; but " the deputies being thus hard
held to it, and growing weary of the court, for it began on the 14th
of May and brake not up (save one week) till the 5 " of July,
finally compromised the matter, after refusing to join with the
magistrates in calling in the help of the elders; " for they knew
that many of the elders understood the cause, and were more care-
ful to uiihold the honor and power of the magistrates than them-
selves were liked of."

It would be interesting to the student of history to have a full
sketch of tlie several findings of the magistrates and deputies
upon the issues made in the case ; but for the purpose of this per-
sonal biography it is proposed to present only what is necessary to
show how John Tower was affected by them. To the magistrates'
findings the deputies return as follows : —

10. "TVe find that the public charge and accusation of John Folsom
and John Tower against the deputy-governor, the premises considered, are
causeless and unjust, and that some things in the petition and explanation
of it are false and scandalous, for which all the petitioners ought to receive
their due censure.

" To the charge by John Folsom of the deputy-governor, 1 4 deputies
assent that it is unjust, and 13 deputies dissent ; 6 stand neuter."

"To the charge by John Tower of the deputy-governor 17 deputies
vote the negative that his charge is not unjust, and 14 affirm, and 2 stand
neuter."

And again the deputies return to the magistrates : —

" "We find that Mr. Bellingham did legally give advice to Lieut. Eames,
namely, that he, said Lieut. Eames, should go home and go into the

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 15

field and honorably lay down Lis place, Capt. Robert Keayne, contrary,
dissenting."

To this return of the deputies the magistrates reply : —

" To the 2- we answer, that what advise Mr. Bcllingham gave accord-
ing to his apprehension while the matter was in agitation was not illegal,
but how legal or convenient it was to cross the advise of the magistrates
and his own also, or whether it were so or no, we rather leave, that have
heard it to consider of, than positively to determine it, not being, as we
conceive, pertinent to the case as it concerns 3[r. Belliugham."

1645, June 28. — The magistrates vote to fine certain of the per-
sons engaged in the Hingham disturbance in several sums, varying
from ^2 to £20, John Tower being fined ^£5. They also impose
a fine of 20.5. each upon tlic petitioners, cxce]iting therefrom three,
" Mr. Peter Hobart, John Folsom, and John Tower;" the aggre-
gate of the fines being £155 10.s.

The deputies do not agree to^the magistrates' apportionment of
fines, but present a list, wherein the aggregate of lines amounts to
£105, John Tower's name not being in the list.

Further correspondence takes place between the magistrates
and deputies, and as they fail to agree, arbitration is proposed ;
but before this is agreed upon, the deputies jiresent a new list, still
continuing the fine of £5 to Lieutenant Eames, and " John Tower's
censure for his delinquency is, that he should bear his imprison-
ment, [irovidcd he bear no other censure, either as petitioner or
otherwise."

" The house of deputies do agree that £53 10s. should be laid upon all
the petitioners by an equal rate by the poll towards the payment of the
charge of the court ui)on the case, excepting John Tower and the rest of
those delinquents that are fined as is above mentioned &c."

" Tiie magistrates agree to these fines above mentioned all but for
Lieut. Eames, whom we judge to bear his own charge and have an ad-
monition for laying down his place without consent of authority and other
failings."

"The deputies do concur with our honored magistrates' last return
concerning Lieut. Eames rather than nothing be imposed upon him."

And thus ended this case by the imposition of fines and the
acquittal of the deputy-governor. Something more grew out of it
in the process of collecting the fines, but nothing immediately
affecting John Tower, only as his sympathy may have been enlisted
for his brother-in-law. Rev. Peter Hobart, who continued still to
raise questions, as John Tow-er had done, as to the authority of
the court, for which he was arrested and heavily fined.

16 THE TOWER GEXEALOGY.

The questions raised in this trial are of great interest to the
student of history, but are not suitable for a discussion here, ex-
cept as they have a bearing upon John Tower's case and the offence
he is charged with committing, with the degree of blame then
held to pertain to the offence. He is charged with causing the
disturbance by the testimony he gave in the church, and by his
contempt of authority in refusing to give bond for his appearance,
and for signing the petition bringing charges against the deputy-
governor.

To understand the degree of guilt incurred by the commission
of these offences in the early pei'iod of the history of the Massa-
chusetts Bay Colony, it will be necessary to remember how it was
constituted by its charter, which gave authority for the choice of
governor and assistants by the freemen of the corporation. Tliese
were first chosen in England, and came to New England, bringing
their charter with them. The governor, assistants, and freemen
were authorized to make rules and regulations for the government
of those who should come to inhabit the colony, " for the imposi-
tion of lawful lines, mulcts, imprisonments, or other lawful cor-
rection according to the course of other corporations in this our
realm of England."

" Willing, commanding, and requiring . . . That all such orders,
statutes, and ordinances, instructions and directions as shall be so made by
the governor, deputy-governor of the said compan)', and such of the assis-
tants and freemen as aforesaid, and published in writing under the common
seal, shall he carefully and duly observed, kept, and performed, and put in
execution according to the true intent and meaning of the same."

But from the first the assistants seemed inclined to take to
themselves all the authority belonging to themselves and the
freemen, without consulting the freemen.

The first court was a court of assistants, and was held at
Charlestown, Aug. 23, 1630 ; and among the orders passed was the
following very important one : —

" It was ordered that the governor and deputy-governor shall always be
justices of the peace, and that Sir Richard Salstonstall, Mr. Johnson,
Mr. Endicot, and Mr. Ludlow shall be justices of the peace for the present
time, in all things to have like power that justices of peace hath in Eng-
land for reformation of abuses and punishing of offenders, and that any
justice of the peace may imprison an offender, but not inflict any cor-
poral punishment without the presence and consent of some one of the
assistants."

1630, Oct. 19, a General Court was held, whereat, contrary to
the charter, power is conferred upon the governor, deputy-gov-

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 17

ernor, and assistants to make laws and choose officers to execute
them. The court of assistants soon exercise their conferred
authority, and in a number of cases they make the law and
punish a breach of it at the same time.

It is evident that the authorities mean to be obeyed and re-
spected, and some of the severest penalties are inflicted upon those
who dare to o])pose or call in question their authority ; as at a court
of assistants, May 3, 1(331, —

"Thomas AValford of Cliarlestown is fined 40s. and is enjoined he and
his wife to depart out of tlie limits of this patent before the 20th day
of October next, under pain of confiscation of his goods for his contempt
of authority and confronting of officers."

It must be said to tlie credit of the impartiality of this court
that one of their number, the fiery and pugnacious Endicott, is
tried by a jury and assessed in damages of 40s. for " battery " on
Thomas Dexter.

1631, .June 14. — At a court of assistants, " It is ordered that Philip
Ratliffe sliall be wliipped, have his ears cut off, fined £40, and banished
out of the limits of this jurisdiction, for uttering malicious and scandalous
speeches against the government and church of Salem, as appeareth by a
particular thereof proved upon oath."

1631, yept. 6. — At a court of assistants, "It is ordered that Henry
Lyon shall be whipped and banished the plantation, before the Gth day of
October next, for writing into England falsely and maliciously against the
government and execution of Justice here.

"Thomas Knower was set in the bilbowes for threatening the court
that if he should be punislied, he would have it tried in England whether
he was lawfully punished or not."

1632, Oct. 3. — " Edward Burton is fined £5 for his contempt of author-
ity in refusing to come to court when summoned by the governor, and
40s. for drunkenness."

1 033, Sept. 3. — " Capt. John Stone, for his outrage in confronting author-
ity, abusing Mr. Ludlow, both in words and behavior, assaulting liim
and calling him a 'just ass,' is fined £100 and prohibited coming within
the patent without leave from the government, under penalty of death."

1634, April 1. — "It is ordered th.at John Leo shall be whipped
and fined for calling Mr. Ludlow false-hearted knave and hard-hearted
knave, etc."'

So far the court of assistants seems to have carried on the work
of government without any code of laws or of procedure, adapting
penalties to the several cases as the discretion of the court might
see fit, imposing the heavier penalty upon any one who shoulil ))e
impelled by a sense of injustice suflFered to give expression to his

2

18 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

feelings as to the decision, oi- to the magistrate who makes the
decision.

It is necessary to know the value and power of the money of the
times to appreciate what the fines measure. This can be done by
comparing them with the value of a laboring man's day's work
as fixed by the same authority, which was 12d. a day. Therefore
a fine of 40s. for drunkenness inflicted upon Edward Burton would
represent forty days' work ; while his fine of £5 for contempt of
authority would represent a hundred days' work, — sufficient, one
would suppose, effectually to guard the most exacting magistrate
from an undue measure of suffering, were it not for the often
recurrence of these entries in the earlier records.

What was the exercise of authority by Mr. Ludlow which threw
the valiant Captain Stone into so mucli of manifest disrespect as
to result in the fine of ^£100 — representing nearly seven years of
a laboring man's work — and banishment from the colony, does
not appear of record ; but it docs appear that there was a conflict
going on between the principal men, including the magistrates
and the great body of the freemen. The former seemed to be
moving to establish and carry on the new government by and
through an aristocracy of talent and wealth, while the great body
of the freemen were not content to ])e shut out from their share
in its conduct ; and in 1634, at the General Court held in May,
several agreements were made, curtailing the power of the ma-
gistrates and the exercise of it in the magistrates' courts. It was
ordered —

" That none but tlie General Court hath power to make and establish
laws, nor to elect and appoint officers, as governor, deputy-governor, assis-
tants, secretary, captain, lieutenants, ensigns, or any of like moment, or to
remove such upon misdemeanor, as also to set out the duties and powers
of the said officers.

" That none but the General Court hath power to raise moneys and taxes,
to dispose of lands, uses, to give and confirm p'roprieties."

It would seem that some of the more recent acts of the court of
assistants had given occasion for these and some other orders ;
as —

"It is pgreed that there shall be £10 fine set upon the court of assis-
tants and Mr. Mayhew for breach of an order of court against emploj'ing
Indians to shoot with pieces, the one half to be paid by Mr. Pynchon and
Mr. Mayhew, offending therein, the other half hj the court of assistants
then in being, who gave leave thereunto."

This fine of £10 was remitted by the court.

THE TOWER GEXEALOGY. 19

Tlie severity of Captain Stone's punishment would seem to be
the occasion of the order, —

" It is agreed that no trial shall pass upon any for life or banishment
but by a jury summoned [or by the General Court]. . . . It is likewise or-
dered that there shall be four General Courts held yearly, to be summoned
b}- the governor for the time being, and not to be dissolved without the
consent of the major part of the court."

This court seems to have resented an indignity offered to the
governor ; as, —

" It is ordered that .John Lee shall be whipped and fined £40 for

spealiing reproachfully of tlie governor, saying he was but a lawyer's

clerk, and what understanding had he more than himself ; also taxing the
court for making laws to pick men's purses," etc.

And at a later court, Xov. 7, 1634, mercy was blended with
justice in the order, — " There is £30 of John Lee's fmes remitted
him."

But still the offences against the magistrates continue, and at
the next General Court — -

" It is ordered that Mr. Israel Stouijhton shall be disabled for bearins
any public office in the Commonwealth within this jurisdiction, for the
space of three years, for affirming the assistants were no magistrates."

It is very evident from the foregoing extracts that the members
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and those subjected to its au-
thority, were not satisfied with the method of its management, or
the seemingly arbitrary rules to which its conduct was subjected,
and that there was call for the establishment of some fundamental
rules.

In an article written by Francis C. Gray, and published in the
Massachusetts Historical Collections, 3d series, vol. viii., this matter
is ably presented, showing how these rules, or " Body of Liberties,"
had their rise, progress, and completion, after several years of
agitation and delay. This delay was caused principally by the
magistrates, and was occasioned, in part, by doubts whether the
provisions of the charter could be construed to warrant tlie estab-
lishment of such rules, and wliether an attempt to do this miglit
not cause a revocation thereof, together with the tendency among
the magistrates to continue a form of government so largely
dependent upon their wisdom.

It was fortunate for the Massachusetts Bay Colony that John
Winthrop was governor when the charter, with the attendant large
immigration, came to its shores. He had been brouglit up to a

20 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

knowledge of law in England, was puritanic in his principles, and
mellowed more than usual witli a mild and humane spirit. For
the good of the colony he made large sacrifices of time and wealth,
and of his stores of wisdom and experience he gave freely. He
knew the limitations of power given by the charter, and that to
frame the ideal government he and his associates dreamed of,
would lead to its revocation so soon as authority in England
should take notice of it. What they had already done had led
to the issue of the warrant by which they were called to show
cause in the king's court why it should not be revoked. Noth-
ing but the growing trouble between the king and parliament,
and the subsequent condition of civil war, prevented its loss.

Winthrop would have such rules as were necessary grow up by
practice as their wants demanded, without embodying them into
written laws, trusting to the wisdom and integrity of the admin-
istrators that no one should suffer wrong ; and in default of
their own wisdom they could appeal to the laws of God, and by
the help of the learned and pious ministers they had means for
their interpretation.

But such a plan for the growth of a people was not to come so
easily. Contention for principles and forms would come in, and
all the repressing force of fines and punishments could not keep
out their expression ; and the age was not one to tolerate freedom
of expression. Trutli in civil and ecclesiastical affairs was a
matter not to be tolerated in progress, but to be reached in its
end ; and being once arrived at and secured, was no further to be
questioned.

It has been seen how the suppression of expression had been
attended by severe punishments and heavy penalties, imposed
by the magistrates without any fixed rules, until the people had
become somewhat restless ; and at a court, May 6, 1G35, —

" The deputies having conceived great danger to our state, in regard
that our magistrates for want of positive laws in many cases might proceed
according to their discretion, it was agreed that some men should be ap-
pointed to frame a body of grounds of laws, in resemblance to a Magna
Charta, which being allowed by some of the ministers and the General
Court, should be received for fundamental laws."

But such was the opposition of the magistrates that nearly
eight years passed before the Body of Liberties, prepared by
Rev. Nathaniel Ward, of Ipswich, was finally adopted, and became
the fundamental law of the colony under the charter.

In 1644 — the year in which the difficulty at Hingham took place
— another important change was made in the colonial government.

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 21

The assistants and deputies had formerly sat in the same cham-
ber and voted as one body ; but the memorable trial of the claims
of Captain Keayne and of the widow Saunders to the same pig
caused these two bodies to divide and sit in separate chambers, and
to iiave a negative vote upon each other in case of disagreement.

In considering the Hingham case it is important to keep in
mind this disagreement between the deputies, representing the
great body of the freemeu, and the magistrates, who for the most
part were of the wealthy and influential families of the colony, and
who by their abilities and character had given direction to all the
colonial affairs, and whose heavy fines and severe punishments had
repressed opposition to their authority.

As the difficulty at Hiugham began in military affairs, and be-
came transferred to the church, it is of importance to know what
the rules and regulations were in relation to both. In military
affairs, as in all others, the assistants from the first in their court
— composed of the governor, deput3--governor, and assistants, and
denominated the court of assistants — assumed the whole regula-
tion. But in 1634, as has already been stated, the General Court
had resumed the appointment of the military as well as other
officers, — though subsequently they delegated this authority to
the council for life when the General Court was not in session.

From the beginning there seems to be large demand for military
preparation and exercise, —

" 1631, April 12. It is ordered that every captain shall train his
company on Saturday in every week."

"1G31, July 20. — Order for a watch in Boston, and for a monthly
training of Capt. Underhill's company in Boston and Roxbury, and also
for those in Charlestowu and Mystic."

" 1G31-32, March 6. — Order for the arming of every person under a
penalty of a year's service in default."

"1G32, Nov. 7. — Several are fined for absence at training or for
their men being absent ; among them are Mr. Matthew Cradock's men at
divers times."

"1633, Nov. 5. — Ensign Morris is discharged of his place, aud Mr.
Thomas Mootham chosen in his room. Sergeant Stoughton is chosen
Ensign to Capt. Masou."

"1 033-4, March 4. — Mr. Nathaniel Turner is chosen Captain of the
military company at Saugus. . . . Mr. Richard Morris is chosen Lieuten-
ant to Capt. Underbill."

1634, May. — The General Court having resumed the functions
belonging to it, —

" Mr. Robert Harding, William Baulston, and Ralph Sprague are
chosen Sergeants to Capt. Underbill and John Oliver, chosen Corporal to
the said Captain."

22 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

"1634, Sept. 3. — Capt. Underhill, Capt. Patrick, Capt. Mason, Capt.
Frask, Capt. Turner, Lieutenant Feakes, and Lieut. Morris appointed a
committee."

"It is ordered that the captains shall train their bands once every
month, giving a week's warning before (except in July and August), and
that the captains shall have liberty to train all such unskilful men as are
at their own hands so often as they please, provided that they exceed not
three days in a week.

" Sergeant Perkins is chosen Ensign to the company at Roxbury.

" It is ordered that every captain shall be maintained by his own com-
pany ; and where any company consists of two towns or more, the several
towns shall contribute to the maintenance of that captain proportionally
to the number of soldiers in town."

"1634, Sept. 25. — Mr. Edward Gibbons is chosen Ensign to Capt.
Underhill. ... It is ordered that Lieut. Morris shall train the company
at Roxbury."

And that militnry officers sliall be properly submissive and
respectful to the authority -which has created them, —

" It is ordered that Ensign Jennison shall be fined the sum of £20 for
upbraiding the court with injustice, uttering these words: 'I pray God
deliver me from this court ; ' professing he had waited from court to court,
and could not have justice done him."

"1634. Nov. 7. — Mr. John Benjamin, William Pancry, and Henry
Goldston are (by reason of their age and infirmities) dismissed from train-
ing, only they are to have in readiness at all times sufficient arms for
themselves, besides for their servants."

"1634-5, March 4. — It is ordered that all forfeitures for want of
arms, or not observing training days, shall be distrained by the clerk of
the baud where the offence is committed, who, together with the captain
and other officers, shall have power to buy therewith drum-heads and such
arms as poor men want and are not able to provide themselves of.

" It is further ordered that every man of or above the age of sixteen
j'ears who hath been or shall hereafter be resident within this juris-
diction by the space of six months (as well servants, as others), and not
enfranchised, shall take the oath of residents before the governor, deputy-
governor, or two of the next assistants, who shall have power to convent
him for that purpose, and upon his refusal, to bind him over to the next
court of assistants, and upon his refusal the second time, to be punished at
the discretion of the court.

" A committee " was " appointed to have full charge of all militar}*
affairs, the order to continue till the end of the next General Court.

" It is ordered, from this day forward the captains shall receive main-
tenance out of the treasury, and not from their companies."

"1635, Sept. 2. The order whereby " military officers are to have
their maintenance out of the treasury " is repealed. It is ordered that
every company shall maintain their own officers.

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 23

" Further it was agreed that Charlestown and Watertown shall bo two
distinct companies, and to have officers of their own."

" 1636, Sept. 28. The commission for militar}' affairs is committed to
the standing council till the court in May next, and so forward until the
General Court shall take other orders."

" 1636, Dec. 7. It is ordered that all military men in tliis Jurisdiction
shall be ranked into three regiments; viz., Boston, Roxbury, Dorches-
ter, Wcymoutli, Ilingham, to be one regiment, whereof John AVinthrop,
senior, Esq., shall be colonel, and Thomas Dudley, Esq., lieutenant-
colonel, etc., and the governor for the time being shall be chief general.
And each several regiment shall make choice of such men as they shall
think most fit and safe for the service and trust of those places of colonel
and lieutenant-colonel, and present them by their deputies to the next
session of this court ; and for the captains and lieutenants of the several
companies the several towns shall make choice of some principal man,
or two or three in each town, and present them to the council, who shall
appoint one of them to the said office in each company."

" 1636-7, March 9. All persons of any trained baud, both freemen and
others, who have taken the oath of residents, or shall take the same,
and being no covenant servant in household with any other, shall have
their votes in nomination of those persons who are to be appointed cap-
tains or other inferior officers of the same band, provided they nominate
none but such as shall be freemen ; for it is the intent and order of the
court that no person shall henceforth be chosen to any office in the com-
monwealth but such as is a freeman. Any one magistrate may adminis-
ter the said oath.

'• Order for watches to be kept in every town on account of danger
from the Indians, to which every person above the age of 18 years is sub-
ject (except magistrates and elders of churches)."

" 1637, Apr. 18. Apportionment of 160 soldiers for the Pequot war
among the several towns — Capt. Traske and Lieut. Davenport to have
command.

" Mr. .John Spencer is discharged from being captain at Newbury,
and Edward Woodman is chosen lieutenant at Newbury. Several orders
in relation to the conduct of the expedition against the Pequots, and com-
manders chosen."

"1637, Nov. 2. The court did discharge Capt. Underbill for any fur-
ther service, and gave him a quarter's pay for a gratuity.

" Capt. Underbill, being convented for having his hand to the seditious
writing, is disfranchised, and put off the captain's place."

" 1637, Nov. 20. Fifty-nine persons in Boston, and seventeen in other
towns, disarmed, on account of the dangerous errors into whicli they were
supposed to be led, etc."

"1638, June 8. The military company of Boston may present two or
three to the council to choose a captain out of them, if the council like
them."

" 1 640, July 30. John Tower for his disturbance of the peace, and the
offence thereby against the Commonwealthj is fined five pounds."

24 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

This was at a " quarter court," or court of assistants. The
record does not show any particular act of John Tower by which
the peace was disturbed.

" 1640, Oct. 7." Ordering the number of trainings in the year
to be ten, and following to the year 1644, there are several
orders of the court, regulating the duty of the companies, provid-
ing fines for neglect of trainings and failure in equipments, and
allowing the companies to select such times for training, as shall
best suit their convenience, and give as little loss of time in their
agricultural pursuits as may be consistent with a proper perfom-
ance of the military duty.

"1643, May 10. It is ordered that warrants should be sent to the
towns to send the number of males from IG years old to GO."

This continued to be the limit of age for military service for
many years.

The foregoing extracts from the records in relation to military
affairs in the earlier years of the colony will the better enable us
to perceive the character and extent of offence given by the mili-
tary company in Hingham, of which John Tower was a member.
This unfortunate affair came to have in its progress another and
fully as important a cause of offence, which brought the min-
ister and the church of which John Tower was a member, and
from his marriage connection with the minister, Peter Hobart,
undoubtedly a sympathizer, into relations of offence with the
authorities.

Just what the civil and ecclesiastical relations were in the
colony it would be difficult to determine : the charter made no
recognition of them ; and yet the establishment of churches and the
institution of religious worship, according to doctrines and forms
generally recognized, were paramount even to the ideal common-
wealth they wished to found. The emigrants were mostly of that
body of the church denominated Independents in England, recog-
nizing every church gathered to be free to manage its own affairs,
without any outside controlling ecclesiastical power. Anything
from outside must come in the form of advice, and not in that of
direction from other churches.

The civil power seems to have been exercised to protect the
churches in what they generally agreed to recognize as funda-
mental truths, and to aid them in keeping these unimpaired by
heretical opinions and practices.

All the freemen must be members of some of the churches, but
all the members of the churches did not become freemen, and in
consequence had no voice in the civil government and no vote in

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 25

the choice of civil officers. So many of tlio church members
failed to become freemen that the civil authorities made com-
plaint to the churches, urging measures for its correction.

As the churches held and exercised the right of excommunicat-
ing any member for fault of doctrine or practice, and without any
appeal, it raised the perplexing question whether a person excom-
municated from the church was any longer a freeman, and if
holding either civil or military office, whether his expulsion from
tiie church must of necessity determine the tenure of his office.

That tliis or some other occasion did cause this question to be
raised, will be seen by reference to the earlier colonial laws.

" Every church hath also free liberty of admission, rcconimeudation,
dismission, and expulsion or disposal of their officers and members upon
due cause, with free exercise of the discipline and censures of Christ,
according to the rules of the word."

This law was subsequently modified by this provision: —

" But no church censure shall degrade or depose any man from any
civil dignity, office, or authority he shall have in the commonwealth."

This was a very grave question, and probably the moving
cause of feeling and action on the part of the magistrates, making
it of more consequence than the military part of the matter.
There is nothing of record of any particular act of John Tower
in the military proceedings ; but we may infer that he was in sym-
pathy with his brotiicr-in-law, Joshua Holjart, the principal offen-
der, and upon whom the heaviest fine was imposed. But he
seems to have been censured for the testimony he gave in the
church and, in common with the others, for being a petitioner.

Under the orderly proceedings of courts as they are now consti-
tuted for the trial of offences it seems somewhat difficult to under-
stand the proceedings of the General Court in the Hingham case.
Under the petition, Winthrop, the deputy-governor, was put upon
trial, he claiming tiiat he might have pleaded to the petition and
demurred in law, yet consented to the trial, and was acquitted.
One would suppose that that would be the end of tlic proceedings,
and tliat the court of assistants would proceed to hear the case
against John Tower and otliers who were before that court on com-
plaint. Nothing, however, of this kind was done, but the General
Court proceeded to pass upon the guilt or innocence of the peti-
tioners, and to determine who should be convicted. But just
what offence was found, does not appear from the record. A
brief review of the military trouble will show that tlie company in
Hingham, composed of all the male members of the town between

26 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

the ages of sixteen and sixty, had so grown in numbers as to be a
full company, independent of any other town, and entitled to be
commanded by a captain, — an officer of great dignity and impor-
tance to those whom he should be called upon to command and
instruct. It is seen that formerly the military officers had been
chosen and appointed by the General Court ; but in 1636 a law was
passed empowering the several companies to choose their own
officers and present them to the General Court, or such committee
as the General Court should appoint for their commissions. The
com]ianies were authorized to choose one, two, or three persons to
be tlms presented. The Hingham company first presented the
name of Lieutenant Eames, who had held that office for several
years ; but becoming dissatisfied with that nomination, they sent
another name, Bozoon Allen, which would seem to be in com-
pliance with the law. Moreover, the law says that " the council
sliall appoint one of them." This the Council and the General
Court neglected to do. It seems that the people of Ilingham
had become greatly excited in the matter of their proposed cap-
tain, and numbers of both parties attended the session of the Gen-
eral Court to urge the claims of their respective candidates. The
magistrates and deputies were at variance. The former thought
it would be a slight to Eames to have hmi passed over ; while
the latter, seeing so large an expression of feeling and so many in
numbers for Allen, believed it for the best that this expression
should be regarded ; and so nothing was done. The parties came
home, bringing different reports of what the magistrates and
deputies had said in the case ; and acting upon these, much
irregularity and tumult took place in the training of the com-
pany and in matters of speech, so unworthy of members of the
same church as to call for such action as churches were authorized
to take by law.

It would be difficult to show, under any provision of law
then existing, that the court of assistants had jurisdiction in
church matters ; but the law did give the church full and exclu-
sive jurisdiction therein. The testimony which John Tower gave
in the church that "authority did advise Lieut. Eames to lay
down his place, and that one magistrate did advise him to do
so," is fully confirmed by the finding of the deputies, with only
one dissenting vote. It will be seen that the magistrates evade
this finding and refuse to consider it, and yet they propose to fine
John Tower £5 for bearing testimony to it. To this the deputies
will not agree, and so the fine is not imposed. In the imposition
of the costs of the court upon the petitioners, three being ex-
cepted, of whom John Tower is one, the General Court evidently

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 27

do not intend to encourage the making of complaints against the
exercise of authority. In the great contest which John Quincj
Adams carried on in the House of Representatives at Washing-
ton, vindicating the right of petition, this effectual way of sup-
pressing such petitions, by assessing the cost of entertaining them
upon tlie petitioners, never seemed to occur to his opponents, and
Mr. Adams did not probably enligliten them as to this early case
in the history of his State.

It is a little remarkable in this very singular trial before the
General Court that while Winthrop is fully acquitted, John
Tower is exempt from all imposition of fine and costs, to which
the rest arc subjected and to which he was similarly liable. Be-
cause he had suffei'ed imprisonment, he is allowed to offset so
much of fine and cost by so much of imprisonment, thus showing
that tlie imprisonment was unwarranted ; at the same time the
magistrate who inflicted it is sustained for the act.

In bringing the already lengthy presentation of this case to a
close, it may be proper to say that the military company in Iling-
hain was still further proceeded against by a denial of its right to
a captain ; neither was Lieutenant Eames vindicated by the con-
tinuance of his authority as lieutenant, but the company was put
under the charge of Lieutenant Torrey, of Weymouth. This con-
tinued about one year, when Major Gibbons was ordered to take
charge of the company. lie commanded it for a few years, when
the company was once more restored to favor, and permitted to elect
its officers, which it proceeded to do by the choice of the same
Bozoon Allen for captain, and the heavily fined Joshua Hobart as
lieutenant, soon after to succeed Allen as captain.

The early settlers in the several towns on the coast of Massa-
chusetts Bay do not seem to have remained wholly satisfied with
their situation, but were often looking into the great wilderness
beyond for more favorable places for settlement, whore they could
find upon the streams wide expanse of meadow, prolific of food for
their cattle. It is true these settlements were exposed to danger
from the savages, and did suffer severely ; but the more adven-
turous colonists took tliis risk for the advantages which they
afforded. In 1053 Lancaster was incorporated. A number of
the early settlers were from Hingham, Scituate, and Weymouth,
and in 1654 John Tower's name is found among tlicm. He was
probably there then, but did not remain. The following agree-
ment is found upon the Lancaster records : —

"That such of them as were not inhabitants, and who were not yet
come up to build, improve, and inhabit, would by the will of God come up

28 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

to build, plant, and inhabit within a year, otherwise to forfeit all they had
expended, forfeit also their land, and pay five pounds for the use of the
plantation."

This was signed by " John Towers," April 18, 1654. He does
not seem to have proceeded any further in this matter. We next
find him engaged in an enterprise of some importance as an
undertaking, though in its results it did not bring any pecuniary
advantage to him, but rather entailed loss. This was the pur-
chase of a tract of land from the Indians in what is now the
State of Rhode Island. A copy of the first deed is here given.
Tiiere are four other deeds, and the quantity of land embraced
■within the descriptions in the several deeds is about twenty-four
square miles. This land would appear to be within what are now
the towns of Cranston, Scituate, and Johnston.

It appears that the lands conveyed to John Tower hj the In-
dians had other claimants, who rested their title upon prior deeds
from the Indians. The earliest deed was that of " Canonicus"
and " Miantonomi " to Roger Williams. His associates, William
Harris and oth(>rs, claimed that Mr. Williams obtained this deed
for them as well as for himself, he acting as their agent. After
the description of the land there is this additional clause, —

" We do freely give unto him all that land from those rivers reacliing
.to Pawtuxet river, as also the grass and meadows upon the said Pawtuxet
river."

In 1659 the Ijrother of Miantonomi, who was killed by Uncas in
1G43, gave a confirmatory deed to the men of Providence and
Pawtuxet ; namely, —

" All tlie lands between Pawtucket river and Pawtuxet river up the
streams, witliout limit, for the use of cattle ; and I also do for summer and
winter feeding of their cattle and ploughing, and all other necessary
improvements, as for farms, and all manner of plantations whatsoever."

30 THE TOWER GEXEALOGY.

In the same year other Indians, describing themselves as chief
sachems of tlie Indians of those parts, made a confirmatory deed
to the same grantees of the same lands.

The Narragansetts, of whom these Indians •were chiefs, -were
more advanced in the work of agriculture than any of the other
Indian tribes in New England ; and it seems that upon some
parts of these lands granted by the chiefs there were individuals
of the tribe residing who had cultivated the same. It was one of
the theories of Roger Williams and his associates that the Indians
had full title to the land, and that any title by patent from any
European power was invalid unless confirmed by a deed from the
Indians themselves, which could alone give good title to the
purchasers. Whether all these Indians who granted lands to
John Tower by their several deeds were chiefs of the tribe, does
not appear. They are not the same who convey apparently the
same lands to the men of Providence and Pawtuxet. Pumham,
who signs one of John Tower's deeds, was a noted chief.

As a result of these conflicting claims, a controversy took
place, and William Harris, representing the original proprietors, —

" In June, 1 677, undertook a voyage to England to petition the King
for the appointment of a special commission to hear and determine these
claims. . . .

" In his petition he gives a summary of the difficulties and dangers that
surrounded the Pawtuxet purchase. He states that he and his twelve
partners had purcliased the land about forty years before ; that their pur-
chase or parts of it were claimed by the town of Providence, the town of
Warwick, the colony of New Plymouth, and two parties of the province
of Massachusetts Bay. . . . All these various claims depended upon the
extent of the original purchase of Providence. . . . The prayer of this
petition was granted, and the governors of the four New England colonies
were directed to appoint commissioners to hear the matter in dispute.
The gentlemen appointed upon this commission were Thomas Hinckley
and James Cudworth, of Plymouth ; Simon Lynde and Daniel Henchman,
of Massachusetts ; George Dennison and Daniel AVetherel, of Connecti-
cut ; and John Coggeshall and Peleg Sanford, of Rhode Island. They
met in Boston on the third of October, 1677, and empannelled a jury, —
four of whom belonged to Massachusetts, two to Plymouth, three to Con-
necticut, and three to Rhode Island. They then adjourned to Providence,
where they met on the 17th of Novemlier.

" Five cases were there entered and tried before the jury. William
Harris, Thomas Field, and Nathaniel Waterman were the plaintiffs. The
defendants were John Tours, of Hingham ; the town of Warwick ; John
Harrod and partners ; Edmund Caverl}-, Gregory Dexter, Arthur Fen-
ner, and the town of Providence." *

* Staple's Annals of Providence.

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 31

Judj^ment was given for tlic plaintiff in all these cases, and
execution issued for possession and costs. An appeal was taken
by the defendants in the second case, and another commission
appointed to hear the case, by which the former judgment was
affirmed.

As William Harris had difficulty in obtaining possession of the
lands according to the verdict, he again went to England; but
was taken by pirates and carried to Algiers, where he remained
some time, but was finally redeemed. He then went to England,
and to London a few days after reaching there. Some thirty years
after, his heirs petition for execution of the decree, reciting that
the authorities have neglected to give them possession of the land.
There is no evidence that they were kept out of possession by any
act of John Tower, though it is doubtful whether he paid the costs
awarded in the judgment. In the inventory of the estate of Wil-
liam Harris, recorded in the probate office in Providence, is entered
as due from John Tower the sum of ^£18. There is no evidence of
its payment, and it is here presented as a matter of consideration
to some of his descendants who have strong impressions of the
existence of a large fortune held in abeyance in England, and
waiting only the presentation of the family claim for its pay-
ment, whether this ancient debt, with its accumulated interest,
does not present an obligation of duty running as concurrently
strong as the promise of fortune.

The judgment in this matter, so adverse to John Tower, must
have caused him loss, both in time and in the means necessary to
obtain the deeds from the Indians. Tradition has preserved the
story that he had large acquaintance and much intluence with the
Indians.

In the years intervening from the time John Tower received
grants of land from the town, near the time of the first settle-
ment, he continued to receive other grants, and also to obtain
additional land by purchase, as under date of Jan. 1, 1G50-1, —

"By a general vote of the town, .John Tower hath that great lot given
him which was formerly given unto Thomas Gill."

1657, March 25, William Cockram, of Southhold, in the county
of Suffolk, mariner, gives power of attorney to his son, William
Cockram, Jr., to convey land ; and Sept. 27, 1657, William Cock-
ram, Jr., conveys land and marsh in Hingham to John Tower.
William Cockram was brother-in-law to John Tower.

In the year 16G4 John Tower made purchase of a considerable
tract of land in Hingham, as appears by deed of Edward Wilder

32 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

and Elizabeth, his wife, recorded in Suffolk Deeds, book viii. page
147, with the following description : —

" All that said dwclling-liouse situate in liingham aforesaid, with all
houses, out-houses, barns, buildings, stables, cowhouses, orchards, gardens,
foldyards, with the lands thereunto adjoining, containing five acres, be it
more or less, which was given by the inhabitants of the town of Ilinghara
unto Martha Wilder, my mother, for a house-lot, and is bounded with
the highway that leadeth from the plain to the common northward, and
with the land of Michael Pearse eastward, and with the land that was
formerly John Benson's westward, and the land that was formerly
Edward Gilraan's, southward ; and another housedot, contaiidng three
acres of land, be it more or less, lately purchased of John Benson, and is
bounded with the aforesaid house-lot of five acres eastward, and with the
common westward, and with the aforesaid highway nortiiward, and with a
parcel of land lately given by the town to the said Edward Wilder south-
ward ; and another parcel of land containing four acres, be it more or less,
lately purchased of Edward Oilman, and is bounded with the laud of
Michael Fearse, formerly the land of Stephen Paine, eastward, and with
the aforesaid house-lot of five acres northward, and with the aforesaid par-
cel of land lately given by the town to the said Edward Wilder westward,
and with a little brook southward, which runneth between the said four
acres of laud and the land of Edward Wilder, which he purchased of Sam-
uel Ward ; and another parcel of land lying to the westward of the afore-
said four acres, which was given me by the town of Hingham ; and it is
bounded with the aforesaid house-lot that was John Benson's northward,
and the common land westward ; and three acres of salt marsh, lying and
being in the township of Hingham, aforesaid, in Cohasset Marshes ; being
the first lot in the 2"!'' division, which was given me by the town of Hing-
ham, and is bounded with the meadow of Henry Chamberlain and the Cove
northward, and with the town's land southward and westward, and with
the meadow of John Page eastward ; with all the privileges . . . (always
excepting the privilege of commons of the aforesaid house-lot of three acres,
that was formerly John Benson's)."

This deed is dated May 16, 1G64, and acknowledged before
Eleazer Lusher, May 17, 1664, and recorded May 10, 1673.

The tract of land described in the foregoing deed extended from '
what is now Main Street, at Cole's Corner, to the brook at Tower's
Bridge, and, allowing for the large area of an acre, as seems to
be given in the allotment of honse-lots, as we find by those which
can now be identified, must have contained about thirty acres,
all of which was capable of cultivation. These house-lots of Mar-
tha Wilder and John Benson were the extreme housedots granted
by the town, under the law limiting the distance from the meeting-
house to which house-lots could be granted, and were about one
mile from John Tower's residence. He seems to have come into

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 33

possession of considerable tracts of other lands, as appeare br sub-
sequent conveyances, though the deeds of purchase, like many
of the deeds of that period, fail to be recorded.

At the time of this purchase John Tower s ten children were all
bom, the eldest three sons had attained their majority, though
none were then married, and he was well equipped with a force of
labor sufficient for the clearing and cultivation of his extensive
lands. He soon after built a dwelling-house at the southern
boundary of his recent purchase, where he lived during the re-
mainder of his days. Three of his sons had their dwelHng-houses
upon this land, where they spent their lives, and a portion of the
same, including the lot where he built his house, is now owned by
Lucy A. Tower, the widow of a descendant, and is now occupied
by her. Tlie house built by John Tower was taken down about
the beginning of the present century. There does not apfKjar
upon the records any deed of conveyance of his original lot, the
birthplace of all his children ; but as there is no subsequent re-
cognition of ownership of it by him, it may be inferred that he
sold it.

During these years John Tower appears to have done service to
the town in several offices of labor and trust, to which he was
chosen ; and he also had several controversies with the town,
growing out of alleged encroachments, incident to imperfectly
defined boundaries and to the clearing of the lands of wood and
timber. He also had complaints against the town for loss and
damage suffered in his lands needed and taken for public uses.

In 1657 he was one of the way-wardens ; in 1659 he was one of
the constables.

In 1665 a committee having large powers was chosen, as ap-
pears by the following vote : —

'•By a joint consent and general vote of the town. Daniel Gushing,
Matthew Cashing, John Jacob, .John Tower, and Edmund Hobart are
chosen to get the best evidence they can concerning highways formerly
laid onu or aboat land formerly left for highways ; and they are impow-
ered by the town to lay out highways accordingly where they see it most
convenient for the use of the town."

In 1684 - the town renewed and continued the power of the above said
committee for laying out highways in Hingham till the town shall see
cause to call in their power."

At about this time John Tower seems to have been compelled
to a summary process to maintain or enforce some claim, as the
following record shows : —

3

34 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

"The town hath fined John Tower and John Magoon twenty shillings
apiece, for the use of the town, for quarrelling and striking one another in
a public town meeting."

What the occasion of this fierce encounter was, does not appear,
but from some other transactions which can bo incidentally
learned, it would seem to have arisen from a claim of a right of
way by one, through the lands of the other.

Edmund Pitts, aged fifty-one years or thereabouts, and John Tucker,
aged twenty-nine years or thereabouts, these deponents testifieth, and
saith that they being present when Simon Peck bought of John Tower
that house and land, whereupon John Magoon now dwelleth, these de-
ponents did then hear the said John Tower and said Simon Peck agree
and conclude that he, the said John Tower, should have a way through
the said land unto the said John Tower's salt-marsh meadow, both to cart
and carry hay, to drive and fetch cattle for egress and regress, he the
said Tower and his heirs and assigns forever, without molestation or denial ;
and this we are ready to testify upon oath when legally called there-
unto.

Dated this 20th of June, 1665.

"Em" Pitt.
John Tucker.

The said Edmund Pitts and John Tucker were sworn in Hingham to
the truth of what is above written on the nineteenth day of May, Anno
Dom. sixteen hundred and eighty-four, before me,

Daniel Gushing, Commissioner.

In the same year John Tower brings a claim before the town
for compensation for loss sustained and damage suffered by
default and action of the town, as the following from the Town
Records will show : —

At a town meeting, John Tower, Sen., of Hingham, desired of the
town satisfaction for a small parcel of upland, taken of the westward end
of his great lot of land lying on the great plain in said Hingham, near the
digged way, for the enlarging the country road ; also he desired satisfac-
tion for salt-marsh, that, he said, was granted by the said town at " Nan-
tascut" to William Cockerill; and he then said that the said William
Cockerill had given or sold his said marsh to him, and the town left that
matter to the selectmen to be issued with the said John Tower ; and on
the eighteenth day of March, 1666, the selectmen of the town and the
said John Tower viewed some brushy meadow l3'ing in the woods in
Hingham, near to Eidge Hills, but did not lay out any while they were
there, but as they were coming home proposed to the said Tower what
they thought to allow of said brushy meadow in satisfaction for said up-
land and marsh, and he seemed to be content therewith ; but some of the

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 35

selectmen went after to lay out what the selectmen agreed with him, and
the said John Tower denied their agreement, and claimed more than was
agreed upon ; and the persons that went to lay it out returned and did
nothing, but concluded that wliat had been formerly done was nothing in
reference to that matter. And at a town meeting in said Hiugham on the
24th day of January, 1070, the said John Tower renewed his motion to
the town for satisfaction for said upland and marsh-land, and the town
hearing how said selectmen had acted about it, the town then chose Lieut.
John Smith, John Jacob, John Leavitt, Thomas Lincoln, husbandman,
and Daniel Gushing, to measure or set out to John Tower, Sen., a par-
cel of brushy meadow at a place called " Ridge Hills," according to their
agreement with the said Tower on the town's behalf, on the aforesaid
eighteenth of March, they at that time being selectmen of the town. The
said five men above named, or the major part of them, have, since they
were chosen, laid out a piece of brushy meadow which contained by esti-
mation about six acres of land or thereabout, and it is bounded with the
Ridge Hill and with the meadow of John Prince, toward the northeast.
and with the main brook toward the northwest, and with the town's land
toward the southeast and also toward the southwest, which said piece of
brushy meadow is laid out in full satisfaction for the said John Tower's
upland, and also for the said marsh-land that the said John Tower said
was granted to the said William Cockerill.
Entered and recorded by

Daniel Gushing, Town Clerk.

It would seem that other causes of disagreement, leading to
litigation then ponding, were existing between tlie town and John
Tower, as we find under date of Oct. 16, 16G8 : —

"By a joint consent of the town, John Tower, Sen., is released from
the four actions that are now depending in the Gommissioners' Courts,
provided that he pay all the charges that the town hath been out about
them which he did promise to pay."

Just what the causes of these actions may have heen, docs not
appear by any especial statement of the same. It may be in-
ferred that the following agreement by the town may have had
an office in the settlement of the same.

" It was agreed upon by the town that John Tower, Sen., should
have the wood which he hath cut upon the common at the end of his
wood lot, at Straits Pond, for six pence the cord, but he is to be at the
charge of measuring his lot, and satisfy Edmund Hobart and John Jacob,
who were appointed by the town to bound out those wood lots. lie was
charged with cutting 25 cords of wood upon the common."

The trespass here made by John Tower upon the town's com-
mon seems to have been accidental rather than intentional, and

36 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

grew out of imperfectly defined boundaries. The merely nominal
price of si.xpence a cord for the wood would seem also to show
the town meant that John Tower should get benefit enough
to compensate him for his payment of costs in the actions. The
large quantity of wood allowed tends to confirm this.

It does not appear of record that this particular lot was granted
to John Tower by the town, and he probably acquired it by
purchase, by a deed which failed to be recorded. The failure to
record deeds in the early settlement of Massachusetts was quite
common, and instances can be found in the registry of deeds
where a deed has been recorded more than a century after it was
given.

1671, Dec. 11, John Tower, Sen., of Hingham, etc., planter,
and Margaret his wife, in considci'ation of .£50, convey to Stephen
French, of Weymouth, —

Three lots of land ; that is to s.iy, one lot containing six acres of land,
which was given by the inhabitants of the town of Hingham to Mr.
Richard Ibrook for a planting lot ; and another lot, containing six acres
of land, which was given by the inhabitants of the town of Hingham to
Wm. Cockerum, for a planting lot ; and another lot, containing six acres
of land, which was given to Wm. Cockerill for a planting lot : the said three
lots lieth all in one piece of land in Hingham, and is bounded by the line
that runneth between Hingham and Weymouth westward, and with the
common land eastward and southward, and with the land of John Fearing
and with the common lauds northward.

John* Tower (Seal)

his T mark
Margaret Tower (Seal)
This deed was recorded April 30, 1685.

The land probably came to JIargaret Tower either by gift or
inheritance from her father and brothers-in-law.

Attention is called to the consideration named in this deed, —
namely, .£50, — remembering that the wages of a laboring man is
by regulation 2s. a day, and that £50 at that rate will represent
five hundred days' work, which at their present value of one dol-
lar and fifty cents a day will amount to seven hundred and fifty
dollars, — a price far in excess of the value of the lands at the
present day.

It will be remembered that John Tower was to pay the costs in
certain actions commenced by the town, and the sum demanded
for certain wood ; and May 3, 1669, —

" At a publick town meeting Deacon Leavitt, in the behalf of the town,
did demand of John Tower, Sen., two pounds ten shillings and four-

THE TOWER GEXEALOGY. 37

pence, which was the charge of the courts about the actions the town
sued him in, and twelve shillings and sixpence for 25 cords of wood,
which he cut upon the common, which he promised and engaged to pay, as
appears by his agreement with the town upon the IGth day of Octob:. 1668;
and this pay being demanded of him, he promised to pay it if the town did
appoint any to receive it. The town then upon the second day of Feb-
ruary ilid appoint the selectmen to receive it for the use of the town."

It would seem that John Tower had learned some caution in his
controversies with tlie town and those pretending to rejiresent
it, and he meant to be sure that full and explicit authority was
granted them before he would treat with them ; and as the town
did not give such authority to Deacon Leavitt, it would seem that
John Tower was using proper discretion in refusing to make
payment to him.

A matter of much importance to all the inhabitants of Hingham
had been under agitation for some time, and that was the dis-
position of the lands within the limits of the town which had
not already been granted. It will be remembered that few new
settlers came after 1640 ; while many left and were engaged in
forming new settlements.

The result of this agitation was a conclusion to draw a line
around and at some distance from the grants already made, and
to divide the remaining land among the proprietors as their several
claims could be determined or adjusted. Much difficulty was found
in this work. Some, in addition to their own grants, had purchased
in whole or in part of those who had left, and those remaining
had purchased or exchanged with others. It was finally deter-
mined to make seven hundred shares, and to distribute them
among the ])roprietors. The greatest number of shares allotted
to any one was thirty-five, and this number was given to Daniel
Gushing ; and the smallest number was two shares. Several per-
sons had that number by inheritance and by the division of estates.
To John Tower were allotted eight shares.

There was dissatisfaction with the allotments, and probably no
allotment could have been made giving comfjletc contentment.
John Tower was one of the complainants, as will hereafter be
seen.

The territory divided was made in four distinct parcels or lots,
which were designated first, second, third divisions, and second
part of tJie third division. The most of this land is within the
limits of the present town of Cohasset, and makes the greater
part of that town.

The first and most important of the divisions commenced at
Bound Brook, which made the boundary between Hingham and

38 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

Scituate ; then on a line extending from said Bound Brook, in
a northerly direction, about two and one fourth miles, being
nearly identical with the present Main Street of Cohasset. The
several lots were laid out at right angles with said line, and were
about one mile in length. Tiiere were eighty-three lots, several
of the smaller shares being put in one lot.
At a town meeting held Jan. 24, 1669-70, —

" It was voted that no man shall sell his land that shall fall to him by
the division of the commons to any person or persons living out of town,
unless he shall sell with it his whole seat of land which he has in the
town, and the vote passed in the affirmative ; but three men dissented
from the vote ; us namely, Humphrey Johnson, John Tower, and William
Woodcock."

Dec. 6, 1670, the lots in the several divisions were drawn in
numbers. John Tower drew the sixty-sixth lot in the first division,
containing fifteen acres, two roods, and thirty-two rods ; and if the
lot was just one mile in depth, it would call for a frontage upon
the street of nearly one hundred and twenty-nine and one half
feet.

On the same day the lots in the second division were drawn,
and John Tower's was the forty -second lot, and contained twenty-
three acres and sixteen rods.

March 10, 1670-71, the lots in the third division and in the
second part of the third division were drawn, and John Tower
drew the seventieth lot, containing seventeen acres and two roods.
This lot is in the present limits of Hingham, and is bounded
southerly by the patent line formerly separating the colonies of
Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay. His lot in the second part of
the third division contained sixteen acres, one rood, and twenty-
eight rods.

The whole quantity of land embraced in these divisions, includ-
ing the land left for roads, was about ten square miles ; and the
whole quantity drawn by John Tower was seventy-two acres, two
roods, and thirty-six rods. His lots were from three to five miles
from his residence.

John Tower was much dissatisfied with his share of the lands,
as the following petition will show : —

1673, May 9. — Honored General Court now sitting in Boston.
The of John Tower, Sen., of Hingham,

Humbly Slieweth — That whereas your petitioner has been an inhab-
itant and freeman of the town of Hingham about 35 years, and in and
about the years 68 and 69 the said town had several meetings, and the
major part of the said town's people did amply agree of and settle a divi-

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 39

sion of the common that belonged to the said town, excepting some part
of the said common that was to lie common property for the use of the
proprietors, and some exceptions made about the wood, and the same day
it was also agreed upon the manner of the division of the aforesaid com-
mon, which was that tiie land, wood, and timber was to be divided accord-
ing to the house lots, heads, and estates of the proprietors or inhabitants
aforesaid ;

And at another town meeting after it was agreed how they should be
valued or rated as by the town's book or records thereof may appear, and
yet notwithstanding all what before said to be legally and amply done by
the town in the premises, your petitioner has nor cannot receive any ben-
efit or allowance according to the aforesaid town acts as to heads and
estates, and on nothing was his just proportion as to house-lots.

Although your petitioner has used all fair means and profert as far as
he was capable for the obtaining the same, it is positively denied him.
And further, your petitioner is denied by the clerk any copy authenticated
of the town's book records, the said clerk being prohibited to give me any
that is authentic, so that I cannot sue at common law, nor any other way
proceed for want of the copies of the town records as before said, and am
wholly left destitute of being able to do anything for myself excepting
what this Honorable General Court shall please to grant me, to whom I
make this humble supplication for that favor to be granted me, that I may
but have a hearing of vay just complaint wherein I am so great a sufferer.

And if the Honored Court shall appoint any other persons to examine
the premises, I humbly crave that there may be the respect had that the
matter be committed or left unto unconcerned persons no ways interested
as to persons or case ; in which I shall be happy and ever bound to pray for
the prosperity of this Honored General Court, and subscribe myself your
poor petitioner for my redress.

Refer the petitioner to a due course of law against the town or clerk,
their brethren.

It does not appear that John Tower availed himself of tlie
means of redress to which his attention was called by tlie action
of tlie General Court upon his petition, and he prohalily rested in
his dissatisfaction with tiie several votes of the town by which

40 , THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

the common lands were distributed, instead of engaging in dila-
tory and expensive litigation.

In 1675 came on the cruel and devastating war of King Philip,
involving so many of the towns and settlements of New England
in partial or complete destruction, and causing a loss of life un-
paralleled in its history. Hingham, from its situation on the sea-
board, suffered but small loss of property in this war, but gave
fi-eely of the lives and services of her sons in defence of the
colony.

John Tower's home was on the extreme outskirt of the town,
and in any inroad of the savages would be the most exposed to
attacks. It would seem that it was considered by the town autho-
rities to be so unsafe and untenable that he had been ordered
to remove his family into one of the forts near the more com-
pactly settled portion of the town. He was not inclined to yield
ready obedience to the order, and once more addressed the colonial
authorities, in the following petition : —

March 10, 1675-76. John Tower, Sen., of Hingham, is bold to inform
your Honors that he hath at his own proper charge fortified his house,
and to beg your favor that his four sons and one or two persons more,
that he may hire at his own cost, may be allowed him for the gar-
risoning his house, and may not be called off by the committee of the
town for to come into any other garrison, my sous having deserted their
own dwellings and brought their goods into my fortification. I shall then
acknowledge your Honors' favor herein, and be thereby further obliged
to pray for a blessing on your councils.

Your humble servant,

J° T Tower, Sen.

It would seem that this favor was granted, and that John
Tower remained in his fortified house. Only one irruption of the
Indians is known to have taken place in the vicinity of his house,
and John Jacob was slain within one half of a mile of it, — the
only person killed in town by the Indians in this war, and within
three quarters of a mile of his own house. The houses of Joseph
Jones and Anthony Sprague were burned, they having probably
been vacated by their owners.

The number belonging to John Tower's family and sheltered
within his fortified house appears to be as follows : himself and
wife and seven children (liis son Jonathan probably having died
before this time, though no record of his death appears), includ-
ing his oldest son John 2, with wife Sarah and infant son Ben-
jamin^; son Ibrook^, with wife Margaret and children, Richard^,
Daniel^, Jolm^, Rachel^; son Jeremiah^, with wife Elizabctli and

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 41

children, Jeremiah ^ and Mary ^ ; dauglitcr Hannah -, with son
Joseph Cowell^; and his unmarried children, Benjamin-, Jemima 2,
and Samuel 2, — making twenty persons in all, of whom eight are
children of tender years, and one, Samuel 2, a lad of fourteen
years. All of these were to he accommodated in one house of
moderate dimensions, and defended by John Tower, then sixty-
seven years of age, his four sons, and one or two hired men. It
will be seen by turning to the history of King Philip's war that
the Indians at this particular time had become savagely aggres-
sive, and were attacking the settlements all through the colonies,
with a last desperate effort for their destruction, as the only hope
of their own salvation.

Tradition in the family has preserved something of this time of
peril, showing also that previously John Tower had been in a posi-
tion of influence and intercour.se with the Indians. When occa-
sion required some one to go outside of the fortilication, the duty
was assigned to "old John Tower;" as they would all say:
" You go, old John Tower ; the Indians all know you, and they
won't hurt you."

It is probable that John Tower's sons, besides the garrison ser-
vice for the protection of their own and their father's family, did
service in the field. In the journal kept by the especial colonial
treasurer for the war, there is an account with Benjamin Tower,
sliowing a payment made to him for specified service. Jeremiah
Tower probably died in the service, as there is no record of his
death in the town records of deaths, or in the diary of his imcle,
Rev. Peter Hobart. The omission of the record would indicate
that he died away from home, and that the time and place were
unknown. Administration was granted ujjon his estate January
30, 1G76-77, and the following abstract from a deed shows a
conveyance of land by John Tower. It is dated January 31,
1G7G-77 : —

Whereas Jeremiah Tower, of Hingham, ia New England, weaver,
have lately built a dwelling house upon part of the land of John Tower,
Sen., of Hingham, aforesaid, lately purchased of Edward Wilder, and
was formerly the land of John Benson. Know all men by these pres-
ents that I, the said John Tower and Margaret my wife, as well for and
in consideration of the fatherly love and good will and affertion which
we have and bear unto the aforesaid Jeremiah Tower, our well-beloved
son, as also for divers other good causes and considerations unto us at this
present especially moving, have given, etc. . . . unto our said son, Jere-
miah Tower, his heirs and assigns forever, the land on which the said
dwelling house now standeth, and so much more adjoining to it as shall
make up the land on which the said dwelling house now standeth, two

acres of land, which two acres of land lieth in the township of Hingham
aforesaid, and is part of a lot formerly John Benson's, and part of a lot
formerly Edward AVilder's, and the said two acres of land is bounded with
the land of the said John Tower, northward and southward, and with the
laud of Edmund Pitts, lately purchased of Michael Pearse, eastward, and
with the common land westward.

In 1674 John Tower conveys his land in the " plain neck"
to Daniel Gushing.

In 1677 another division of the common lands in Hingham was
made among the proprietors, and John Tower received twelve
acres. This was called the " fourth " division. It lies next to
the Weymouth line. This is the last division of the common
lands in which John Tower had part. The other divisions were
made subsequent to his death.

1680, Oct. 9. John Tower was taxed with the other inhabi-
tants of Hingham in a rate for the building of a new meeting-
house,— an event of some importance when the cost is con-
sidered, and the impoverished condition of tlie country so near
the close of King Philip's war, the cost and devastation of which
lay so heavily upon the colonies.

The sum raised by this rate was X436 14s. lid. This was im-
posed upon one hundred and forty-three different persons, making
an average tax of .£3 Is. Id. John Tower's tax was £2 lis. 6d.,

— a little less than the average. The whole tax, measured by the
wages of laboring men at 2s. 6d. a day, would call for three
thousand four hundred and fifty-four days work nearly ; and esti-
mating this w-ork at the price for the same at the present time,

— namely, one dollar and a half a day, — it would require nearly
five thousand one hundred and eighty -one dollars. John Tower's
part would call for twenty-three days' work, at a present value of
thirty-four and one half dollars. On the completion of the meet-
ing-house, as there was no private ownership within the walls,
the people had their seats assigned them by a committee appointed
for that purpose. A record of the seating on the day it was first
occupied for religious services, Jan. 8, 1682, new style, has been
preserved. Respect appears to have been paid to age and
station in this assignment, and John Tower, with four other aged
men, had the seat directly under the pulpit. The old meeting-

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 43

house still gathers within its walls tlie descendants of its builders,
and though no one of tlic name of Tower is a constant attendant,
yet on any bright Sunday morning some fifty of his descendants
may be found where he came to worship more than two hundred
years ago. The oldest of these arc in the seventh generation, and
among the youngest may be found those in the eleventh.

And now, having passed the threescore and ten years of his life
in a sijhere of activity attendant upon a new settlement and amid
the formation of a new government taxing the powers of the
wisest properly to provide for, be appears to have passed the re-
maining years of his long life in comparative quiet and rest. He
lived long enough to witness the abrogation of the charter under
whose constructive provisions he had wrestled with authority and
had suffered, and now found himself, with the others, subjected to
a tyranny claiming a right and power to divest him of all title to
his hard-earned possessions.

This, however, did not wholly prevent him from having trans-
actions in real estate, both in buying and selling, some of which
are made matter of record.

He seems to have continued in making provision for his chil-
dren in deeds of gift of lands ; as in May 26, 1684, he conveys to
his youngest son, Samuel, " in consideration of the natural love
and affection that 1 have and do bear unto my loving son Samuel,
. . . one acre of my salt-marsh meadow lying on the westward
part of my salt-marsh meadow which I formerly purchased of
Thomas Shaw."

At the same date he conveys to his son Benjamin, for a similar
consideration, " my two acres of land . . . which I had of Mr.
Joseph Peck, . . . and is bounded with the street sometimes called
Bachelor Street."

Dec. 28, 1686. Theodore Atkinson and Mary his wife, in con-
sideration of £37, convey to John Tower "all that his piece or
parcel of land situate in Boston, containing fifty foot square,
bounded Westerly by land of John Atkinson, Northeasterly by
laud of Tiieodorc Atkinson, Southerly by a highway fourteen feet
wide, that is to be laid out on the south side of said land."

July 1, 1G91. John Tower, Sen., and Margaret his wife convey
to their son Benjamin Tower, in consideration of £10 10s., " one
acre and a quarter of upland and a piece of salt-marsh meadow"
in Ilingham. " The upland is bounded westerly with the orchard
of the said John and Margaret Tower, northerly with the land of
Matthew Wliiting and land of the grantors, southerly with the
land of Samuel Tower, and easterly with the land of John Stodder.
. . . Tlie said salt-marsh meadow is bounded southerly with the

44 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

salt-marsh meadow of the grantors, northerly with the meadow of
Ejebrook Tower, easterly with the low-water mark in the pond,
westerly with the upland of Jeremiali Bate."

Among tlie papers belonging to John Tower which have been
preserved is the following : —

Some time in the year 1G91, I being present as a witness to the deed
of sale that John Tower, Sen., made to bis son Samuel Tower, I then and
there heard John Tower, Sen., object against the signing of this deed, be-
cause that his son Benjamin had a way to his land that lie had sold him
that lay at the east side of his orchard, whereupon Samuel Tower said, let
not that hinder, for if his Brother Benjamin would get a written made, he
would sign it.

John Stoddee, Jun.

John Tower lived long enough to witness the union of the two
colonies of Plpiiouth and Massachusetts Bay under one charter
government, and the advent of a royal governor, in 1692, with
whom and with whose several successors his descendants were
to wrestle in questions of rights, liberty, and governmental policy,
as he had already often contended with authority under the old
charter for the same things. That sturdy hold upon the possi-
bility of an independent commonwealth which Winthrop and his
associates brought with them never relinquished its grasp until
attainment and security came to reward their tenacity and
fidelity.

It will be noticed that John Tower invariably made his mark
when his signature was required to deeds or other instruments of
writing, while his wife always signed her name ; and specimens of
her written name have been preserved, made a few years only
before her death.

John Tower left no will, nor is there any settlement of his estate
in the Probate Court. It would seem that he gave his property
to his children before he died, a few of the deeds of gift being
recorded ; but from the extent of his possessions it appears that
the greater part failed to be put on record.

At the time of the death of John Tower three of his chil-
dren had deceased; namely, John-, Jonathan ^ and Jeremiah^.
The other seven children were probably living. There had
been born to his John- six children, of whom three were liv-
ing. To his son Ibrook ^ twelve children ; ten appear to be
living. To his son Jeremiah^, three children, two of whom
were living. To his son Benjamin % twelve children, ten of
whom were living. To his son Samuel", five cliildren, all of
whom were living. To his daughter Elizabeth ^ Roberts, the bap-

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 45

tism of one son is recorded, and there is no record of his death.
To his daughter Harah - Curtis there appears to be one daughter
who is living. To his daughter Hannah ■^ Whipple, eiglit children,
seven of whom were living. The whole number of the children
living at his death was seven, grandchildren thirty-nine, and
great-grandchildren thirteen. As it is not proposed to follow
the daughters in the line of their descendants in this work,
a brief descrijition of them will be given under tlic heads of tlie
several families to which tliey belong. Elizabeth -, the eldest
daughter of John Tower, married William Roberts, who is sup-
posed to be the son of Robert Roberts, of Boston. They appear to
have had only one son, Thomas, baptized June 20, 1669. William
Roberts served as a soldier in King Philip's war. Sarah ^, the
second daughter, married a Curtis. The only evidence of the
marriage or of any issue is derived from the following deed, re-
corded in Suffolk Registry of Deeds, book 27, page 60, and dated
Sept. 16, 1708, which recites that " Eyebrook Tower, Cooper, Ben-
jamin Tower, Weaver, and Samuel Tower, Cooper, in considera-
tion of tlie natural love and affection which they have and do bear
unto Militiah, the wife of Joseph Maudesly, of Dorchester, in the
county aforesaid, yeoman, their kinswoman, do convey unto her
a piece of land situate in Boston, which John Tower bo't of
Theodore Atkinson, all of which said land and premises were
heretofore the estate and inheritance of their father, John Tower,
late of Hingham, aforesaid, yeoman, who in his lifetime gave the
same to his daughter, Sarah Curtis, mother of the said Militiah,
by word only, without deed."

In the same Registry of Deeds, book 28, page 149, is the record
of a deed from Joseph Maudesly and Militiah, his wife, to The-
odore Atkinson, dated Sept. 8, 1714.

In the History of Dorchester published by Ebenezer Clapp,
1859, on page 293, is the following : —

"1725, Sept. 26. About a fortnight ago Joseph Maudsly, Mr. Jolin
Preston, Mr. Soper, and Mrs. Butts's son, on a fishing voyage, turned into
a cove to the eastward in their vessel, with Joseph Miuidsly's servant boy ;
also Mr. Ilunnewell, of Boston, went in with them, also Mr. Cox strove
to go in ; hut the fog hindered him, and the Indians lirirbarously murdered
all that went in but the boy. [The boy was rJeemed in 1728.]"

Joseph Jtaudcsly was the son of Thomas and Mary (Lawrence)
Maudesly, and was born in Dorchester April 17, 1681. His will
is dated April 20, 1707, and allowed by the Probate Court Oct. 8,
1725. There appears to be no issue of this marriage. The name

46 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

Maudeslj is variously spelled, and is now written Moselev. Mili-
tiah Maudesly married, second, Charles King, of Dorchester,
March 29, 1727. He died, and administration upon his estate
■was granted to his widow Jan 20, 1728-9. She married, third,
Henry Freeborn, of Dorchester, Jan. 29, 1729-30.

The records afford but little knowledge of Jemima, the young-
est daughter of John Tower. When the people of the town had
their seats assigned them on the opening of the new meeting-
house, she had a seat among the maids. She was then nearly
twenty-three years old. It is conjectured that she is the person
intended in the following record of marriage, found in the first
volume of the Town Records : —

" 1705, Dqc. 17. Mar. Thomas Garnet & Judith Tower, by Mr. John
Norton."

The name of Judith does not appear among the children of
John Tower or of his sons, nor was there a widow of that name.
At the date of this marriage Jemima Tower was forty-six years
old, and Thomas Garnet was forty-one. Neither birth nor bap-
tism of children of Thomas Garnet are found in the Hingham
Records, nor is there any record of his death or that of his wife.

voted to sell the wood at a place called " Couper's Islands " to such
of the proprietors of the adjoining meadows as " will have a part
of it, . . . they paying ten pounds in money." This money
the town gave to Joiin Tower, Jr., " toward the paying of his
purchase of land lie bought in Plymouth Colony." It does not
appear that he settled upon this land, but soon after went to
Braintree.

Ibrook Tower^, tlie third son of John Tower, had the land which
his father drew in the first division of land made by the proprietors
in 1670. The deed is not recorded. Ibrook Tower probably
went upon this land and built himself a house soon after the ter-
mination of King Piiilip's war, and was among the earlier settlera
of what was tlion the village, and has since 1770 been the district
and town of Cohasset.

He was frequently called upon to fill various municipal offices,
and in 1699 he was one of tlie selectmen of the town. In addi-
tion to the agricultural pursuits common to all the people lie was
also a cooper, — an occupation for which the people of Hingham
earlv became noted.

48 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

The raising of sheep early became an object of importance.
This industry suffered loss from the depredations of wolves,
and the records of the town show disbursements made for their
destruction. In a list of debts due from the town in 1670-71 is
one to '• John Stodder and Ibrook Tower for killing a wolf.
£1 ;" and again the same year is the entry, " Paid to John Stod-
der, Ibrook Tower, and Purden Varlow for killing of a wolf, 9s."
In 1672, " Paid Ibrook Tower, about killing a wolf, 2s. 10<i."

In making his home at Cohasset, Ibrook Tower and the others,
who began the settlement there, were some four or five miles
removed from the school and meeting-house, — those desirable ad-
juncts to a New England town. For some thirty years this young
settlement went on without any better facilities for the education
of the children and for their own attendance upon the Sunday
services of the sanctuary. And yet under these disadvantages the
sons and grandsons of Ibrook Tower obtained so much of the rudi-
ments of learning as to be able to write, for they invariably sign
their names to all instruments requiring their signature. The
daughters and granddaughters were not so fortunate ; and when
the occasion calls for their signature it is often made with the
mark, — a matter of frequent occurrence at this period of New
England history among the females.

In the years 1717-21 a precinct was formed of Cohasset, a
meeting-house was built and a minister ordained, and soon after a
school-house was built, and the people were relieved of their long
and wearisome journeys over the imperfectly formed roads through
the woods which separated their newer village from the parent
town.

The first minister of the newly formed parish was Rev. Nehe-
miah Hobart, a grandson of Rev. Peter Hobart, and a relative
of Ibrook Tower, who early became a member of the church
gathered there.

In 1720, at the age of seventy-six years, Ibrook Tower makes his
will, of which the following are extracts : —

" Gives to his wife Patience all the personal estate she brought in mar-
riage," etc. Gives her " eight pounds per annum every year she remains
my widow, £3 10s. to be paid by my sou Hezekiah, £4 10s. by my son
Daniel."

He sets apart certain pieces of land as security for the payment,
with directions for the sale of the same in the event of the failure
of said payment.

" And further 't is my will that my said wife, in lieu of the west end of
my former dwelling-house and leanto, cellar and oven liberty, shall have

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 49

the use and improvement of my now dwelling-house and a spot for a gar-
den, with apples for her own use, with liberty of ingress, egress, and regress,
during her being my widow. . . ."

Gives " to son Hezekiah ... all my part and parcels of lands iu the
third division and second division, and all that part of the lots whereon
my. dwelling-house now stands, beginning at the fence standing upon
Deer Hill, and thence running to the highway dividing between the first
and second divisions, which is the end of said lot, together with an acre of
my tillage land adjoining to said lot ; also one half jJart of my salt-marsli
at Cooper's island. . . ."

Gives " to son Daniel all the rest of my housing and lands not hereby
otherwise disposed of. . . ." Gives to Hezekiah and Daniel " all my cooper's
tools."

Gives to his " six daughters, — Rachel Bates, Mary "Wliiton, Elizabeth
Merritt, Content Souther, Patience James, and Lydia Franklin seven
pounds apiece ; £15 to be paid by Hezekiah, and £27 by Daniel." Gives
" to two grandsons, John Tower and Elisha Tower, £5 apiece in bills of
credit or current money." Discharges his daughter Esther from all book
debts. Nominates sons Hezekiah and Daniel to be executors.

In explanation of tlie provisions of Ibrook Tower's will, it
should be stated that as a preliminary arrangement to his mar-
riaire with the widow Patience Hobart a deed of trust was made
by Ibrook Tower, with the following provisions ; namely, she is to
have her own personal property for her own disposal, and if she
survive him and continue his widow —

" She shall have the use, benefit, and improvement of the west end of
the house wherein the said Ibrook Tower dwells, and the leanto contiguous
thereto, and the cellar under the same, with liberty to bake in the oven in
a low room of the said house, with free egress and regress to the said
house, and the use and privilege of the well, and of a yard for the con-
venient putting of Firewood for the use of said house ; and also a small
spot of ground for a garden, and what apples she shall want for her own
use out of the orchard."

Eight pounds were to be paid to her annually, in addition ; and
this is made a charge upon the following lands : —

" Eight acres near ' Cooper's Island ; ' three acres bounded with lan.l of
Richard Tower, deceased, southeast, southwest on land of Lazarus Beal ;
eight acres bounded southeast on ' Scituate Pond ; ' west on land of Aaron
Pratt, east and northwest on the highway ; two acres bounded southeast
on the ' Ironworks,' northwest ujion said Pratt's land, south on Mordecai
Lincoln's land, and eastward upon land of Thomas Andrews." Dated
July 9, 1712.

In the condition of household furnishings at the present time
the foregoing schedule of this widow would indicate destitution
rather than comfort. It is only by a comparison of the cost of its
production then that its real value can be seen. X40 in money at
the rate of labor at 2s. a day would call for four hundred days'
labor, which at the present prices would yield $600 ; and the house-
hold utensils at a similar value would give an outfit of elegance
and abundance which few laboring-men of the present day can
afford.

This will was allowed Dec. 31, 1731, and on this day an inven-
tory was returned, showing lands, swamps, and meadows in Hing-
ham, about seventy-four acres, valued at £988, and personal
property to the amount of £45 2s.

As there will be repeated occasion to mention values of estates
and commodities, it seems necessary to state that these values
vary from year to year, owing to a constant and continued depre-
ciation of the currency as compared to specie ; and the specie cur-
rency of New England was in comparison to that of England as
3 to 4. That is, the Spanish piece of eight reals, or the dollar,
was rated in New England at G«., while in England it was 4s. 6d.,
making a pound sterling $4.44|, while a pound in New England
currency was f3.83|, — a rate it retained so long as values were
reckoned in the denomination of pounds, etc. The ratio between
gold and silver was 15 to 1, which ratio it retained in the
United States until near the middle of the present century, when
by statute it was changed so as to be 16 to 1.

The emission of bills of credit in all the New England colonies
under the delusion that the increase of money would bring increas-
ing prosperity was attended all along the years of the first half of
the eighteenth century with a continued depreciation. Reckoning
was generally made in this currency, which was called " old tenor."
Massachusetts redeemed its bills in specie, paying 6s. in specie for
45s. in currency. She was enabled to do this with the specie
paid to her by Great Britain in remuneration for the expenses she

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 51

incurred in the reduction of Louisburg in 1745. Though this
currency was redeemed, yet business transactions continued to be
reclvoned and stated in it for several years afterwards, even to the
time of the Revohition, when a currency created by the exigency
of the times was made both by State and the United States, which
depreciated to a much greater extent than the " old tenor " did.

It is not always certain whether values are stated in specie or
currency, but it may generally be found that these values are
given in " old tenor," reckoned at its comparative worth, when the
contrary is not stated.

- When Ibrook Tower made his will, in 1720, the comparative
value of "old tenor" to specie was about 6 to 8. When the
will was allowed, the ratio was about 6 to 17, — making a
loss to the legatees of more than one half of the provision made
for them.

At the time Ibrook Tower made his will four of his children
had died, — Daniel^ of small-pox in the ill-fated Canada expedi-
tion under Phips, at the age of nineteen years ; Richard ^ in
1702 ; John ^ in 1711 ; and the date of Nclicmiah's death is not
known. Richard ^ and John ^ left issue, and provision is made
for a son of each in the will.

The other children of Richard and John seem to be dissatisfied
with the neglect of their grandfather to make provision for them,
and claim a legal right to some part of the estate, as will appear
from a petition to the Probate Court, from which the following
extracts are made : —

1732, June 15. Petition of Rachel Stephenson, daughter of Richard
Tower, son of Ibrook Tower, Esther Marbe], Cornehus Tower, Martha
Tower, Elizabeth Tower, Ann Tower, children of John Tower, son of
Ibrook Tower, deceased, humbly showeth . . . that no provision was
made for them by Ibrook Tower in his will . . . refers to a law of the
Province, passed in the 12* year of William the 3'?, and to a resolve of
the General Court, passed in 1718, May 28-. Ask that their share of
said estate may be set out to them.

52 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

The following indorsement is written upon the petition : —
" Jan'y 9, 1732-3, This matter continued to this day six weeks."

There being no other paper on file in the case, it does not appear
what disposition was made of it.

The law referred to is as follows : —

" Be it therefore enacted by the authority aforesaid that any chUd or
children not having a legacy given them in the will of their father or
mother, every such child shall have a proportion of the estate of their
parents given and set out unto them, as the law directs, for the distribution
of the estates of intestates.

" Provided such child or children have not had an equal proportion of his
estate bestowed on them by the father in his lifetime.

"At a great and general court begun and held at Boston on the 28th
day of May, 1718, a petition being moved upon the second section or para-
graph in the act providing for posthumous children, and such as have no
legacy given them by will, made in the twelfth year of King William,
viz. : Whether the said act doth as well extend to the grandchildren, in case
of the death of the father or mother, as to the child himself, if living,

" Resolved in the affirmative, and that the law is so to be understood
and practised, any usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding."

The homestead of Ibrook Tower has remained in the possession
of his descendants to the present time. Memorial-stones in the
Cohasset Cemetery mark the place of his burial and that of his
first wife, with the following inscriptions : —

Ibrook Tower attained a greater age than any of the other chil-
dren of John Tower, and he is the only one of the number
whose place of burial is marked by a stone.

Elizabeth ( ) (Rowland) Tower died in Providence, R. 1.,

The date of Jeremiah Tower's death is not recorded. It took
place some time in 1676, and it is very probable that it occurred
while in the service of the country during King Philip's war. He
was the first of the descendants of John Tower to die. Adminis-
tration upon his estate was granted to his widow, Elizabeth Tower,
by the County Court at Boston, Jan. 30, 167G-7.

His estate was appraised at Hingham by John Smith and John
Jacob, Jan. 22, 1676, a copy of which is here given for the pur-
jiose of showing the possessions of a householder and their value
at that time. It should be remembered that Jeremiah Tower had
been married six years only, and died at the early age of thirty
years. In estimating values at this early period, and before any
depreciation of the currency had taken place, it should be kept in
mind, as has been before stated, that the value of a day's wages
of a laboring-man was 2s.

54 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

This apparently small value of Jeremiah Tower's property at
the time of his decease will be better understood and enhanced
when we see that, measured by the value of a day's labor, it will
represent nearly 547 days, which, reckoned at the present rate of
$1.50 per day, will amount to i820i% nearly. This would be con-
sidered a very respectable property at the present day for a labor-
ing-man to save from his earnings, which were encumbered with
the support of a family. It would seem that Jeremiah Tower was
a weaver by occupation, and that more than one seventh part of
the value of all his possessions was invested in the implements of
his trade.

As it is not proposed to continue the record of the descendants
in the female line, a brief description will be given of some of
those in these lines who by their abilities and virtues have been
of service to the communities in which they have lived.

Hannah Tower is the only daugliter of John Tower whose
descendants can be traced to the present time. After her mar-
riage to David Whipple she went, with her husband to reside in
what is now Cumberland, R. I., but formerly a part of Attlebor-
ouah Gore. David Whipple bought the land on which William
Blackstone had built his residence when he felt compelled to
leave the " Lords Brethren " of Boston as he had left the " Lords
Bishops " of England. Here, on the beautiful height on the banks
of the river bearing the name of its earliest settler, came Hannah
(Tower) Whipple to dwell, and here she lived until her death in
1722. The place whei-e she lived is now the flourishing manufac-
turing village of Lonsdale, — one of the many places where the
waters of the river are arrested for available power, from its
source, until it loses itself in the tide-waters.

In her will, dated May 28, 1720, Hannah Tower names her
children then living, and gives them severally certain legacies.
Joseph Cowell, the son of her first union, removed to that part of
Dorchester which afterwards was made a jiart of Wrentham,
where he died in 17G1, at the age of eiglity-sevcn years. His son
David graduated from Harvard College in 1732. He is the ear-
liest descendant of John Tower who graduated from a college,
preceding by sixty-eight years the graduation of any descendant
iiearing the name of Tower. He was settled as the minister of
the Presbyterian Church of Trenton, N. J., where he was ordained
in 173G, and where he remained in the ministry until his death,
which took \Aa.ce in 1760. He was an overseer of Princeton Col-
lege, and did efficient service in that capacity, and in an interreg-

66 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

num he filled the office of president for a short time. He did not
marry.

Ebenezer Cowell ^, son of Joseph ^, removed to Trenton, where
he was during the Revolutionary War. He was a gunsmith by
trade, and early in the war made a contract, for the manufacture
of arms, with a committee of Congress. He was largely engaged
in the repair of guns during the war, and on the capture of the
Hessians at Trenton in 1776 the thousand stand taken there
passed under his inspection for necessary repairs.

Some of his descendants have filled the learned professions,
while others in the line of mercantile pursuits in Philadelphia and
elsewhere have acquired wealth and distinction. His daughter
Lois gave personal service and contributed of her ample means to
help the sick of Philadelphia during the scourge of yellow fever
which afflicted that city in 1793, and died that year, a victim to
the disease.

John M. Cowell, a great-grandson of Ebenezer, now a resident
of Philadelphia, has compiled a genealogy of the family, compris-
ing biographical notices of many members of it, — a work of
much labor and research, and valuable not only as a memorial of
private worth, but of interest to our general history. It is hoped
that it may receive publication.

Joseph CowelH, son of Joseph^, lived in Massachusetts and
had two children, — Samuel^ and Olive ^, who married Benjamin
Hawes. Olive was a woman of much ability. Tliat able scholar.
Rev. Dr. Emmons, of Franklin, Mass., said that " she was the
ablest female theologian he ever met." In an interview witii Mrs.
Ide — the daughter of Dr. Emmons and wife of Rev. Dr. Ide, of
Medway, Mass., who at the advanced age of eighty-nine years
remembered Olive Hawes and related many of tiie sayings of her
father in illustration of the esteem in which he held her — was
seen the evidence of impression made in early life by this able
woman.

Benjamin Cowell ^, the grandson of Joseph *, was a graduate of
Brown University. He was for many years clerk of the United
States District Court for Rhode Island, and subsequently was
Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas for that State. He
wrote and published several works, among which were, " The
Deity of Christ," and "The Spirit of Seventy-Six." Of his sons.
Rev. Samuel " has been a life-long minister of the Episcopal
Church, and his grandson. Dr. Joseph H.^, is a graduate of Brown
University and a practising physician in East Saginaw, Mich.

Of the descendants through Olive Hawes ^ was her grandson,
Oliver H. Kollock ', a graduate of Brown University and a prac-

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 57

tising lawyer at the South, whose son Cornelius * is also a gradu-
ate of Brown University, and is now a pliysician in South Caro-
lina. Many other descendants of Hannah Tower, both through
the Cowell and Whipple alliance, who are now living, might be
named, to show how well they have improved their advantages,
making themselves a power and use to both church and state.

Among the papers of Benjamin Tower which have been pre-
served are several unrecorded deeds. One of these, bearing date
April 8, 1G92, recites that John Stodder, of Hingham, etc., —

" Tn consideration of about . . . [torn] and three qiuarters of one
acre of land lying between the house of Benjamin Tower, weaver, of
said Hingham, and the house of Samu(^l Tower, which said land the said

fully appear by a deed under the hand and seal of said Benjamin Tower,

of land is bounded with the land of said Tower west, and with a small
brook between the said land and Wilder's land south, and with the land
of said Stodder east and north, and stones set in the ground for standing
bounds."

Another deed, bearing date Dec. 7, 1713, recites, —

"Whereas Beujamin Tower and Benjamin Garnet, both of Hingham,"
etc., " be the owners of the eleventh lot of land on the great plain in said
Hingham, in the first furlong eastward from the centre or country road,
said Tower is owner of the north half, and said Garnet is owner of the
south half, . . . the said Benjamin Garnet for and in consideration of ten
pounds " conveys to " Benjamin Tower all the south side of said lot."

Benjamin Tower's will is dated July 2, 1717. He died March
24, 1721-2. It was proved and allowed April 28, 1722.

He gives " unto Deborah Tower, my well-beloved wife, the use and
benefit of all my estate, both real and personal, during her natural life,
except that I hereafter dispose of ; and in case she stand in need in the
time of her widowhood for her maintenance, I do hereby give her full
power to sell any part of my estate not disposed of."

" I do give to my son Peter Tower all the tackling that I use in my
trade of weaving, and the loom, he paying to every one of his brothers and
sisters five shillings apiece in one year after my decease."

He names his children Benjamin, Thomas, Peter, and Ambrose,
sons ; and Abigail Hollis, Deborah Corthcll, Christian Pratt, Sarah
Whiton, Jael Stubs, Hannah Tower, daughters ; and makes them
equally residuary devisees and legatees. Inventory, dated April

Subjecting the foregoing sura to the tests of depreciation and
the comparative value of labor, it would represent at the present

day $1,642^V()-

There does not appear of record any division of the real estate
of Benjamin Tower ■^. His will gave his widow power to sell.
There is only one deed on record showing that she availed herself
of that power. In book xxx., page 193, Suffolk Registry of Deeds,
dated Oct. 12, 1726, is recorded a deed reciting that —

" Deborah Tower, widow and relict of Benjaoiin Tower, lute of Hing-
Lam, deceased," in consideration of £30 " paid by my son, Peter Tower,
of Hingham, aforesaid, weaver," convej's " a piece or part of the home lot
of land where I now dwell, in the township of Hingham, abovesaid, con-
taining by estimation two acres, be it more or less, bounded as followeth :
northerly and easterly with the land of Jacob Stodder, southerly with the
other part of the said home lot, and the southeast corner bounds is a white
oak tree, and the line runs from said white oak tree to tlie soutlieast corner
of the dwelling-house of the said Deborah Tower, and westerly partly
with said dwelling-house, and partly with the town's common land or
highway."

The dwelling-house mentioned here is undoubtedly the dwelling-
house that John Tower built about the year 1G64, and which he
fortified in King Philip's war. On this site one or more dwelling-
houses have succeeded the original, and the one standing there at
the present time was built near the commencement of the present
century. It is now owned and occupied by the widow of William
Tower ^, to whom it came by devise successively from former
generations.

Samuel Tower ^ was several times chosen by his fellow-
townsmen to fill various town offices. In 1694, May 16, at a
town meeting appears the following vote of the town in answer
to his request : —

" Samuel Tower, liaving sown some tobacco seed in a small piece of the
town's land, desired that he might have the use of the said piece of land
till his tobacco be ripe, and he would give to the town one pound of good
tobacco ready cut ; and upon that condition the town granted him his
request."

1706, May 1. "The town passed a vote to allow Corporal Samuel
Tower fortj- shillings out of the town treasury for money the said Tower

brought from tale to weight."

1707-8, March 18. Samuel Tower was chosen one of the
selectmen.

1715-16, March 12. He is again chosen one of the selectmen.

Among the papers preserved are several copies of the rates
assessed upon polls and estates.

He seems to have been a considerable land-owner, though there
are but few conveyances on record wherein he appears as grantor
or grantee. He probably received from his father by gift the

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 61

greater part of his lands. He and his brother Benjamin had the
home lands of their father, except what was given to Jeremiah.

His will is dated March 14, 1723-4, and proved and allowed
April 21, 1724. He is called a " cooper." He gives to his " eldest
son Samuel two acres of land adjoining to his dwelling-house as
it is now fenced in." Gives to his " son Daniel one acre and half
of land bounded northerl}' on the land I gave to my son Samuel."
Gives to his " sons Joshua and Joseph the sum of ten pounds, to
be paid by my executors when they shall arrive at the age of
twenty-one years." Gives to each of his " daughters, Sarah
Tower, Ann Tower, and Deborah Tower, the sum of ten pounds,
to be paid . . . upon marriage, or when they shall arrive at the
age of twenty-one years." Gives to each of his " grandchildren,
Elijah and Abigail Whiton, the sum of five shillings."

Give to his " beloved wife Deborah Tower all my household stuff for
her own forever, with the benefit and improvement of the residue and re-
mainder of ray estate, both real and personal . . . for tlie maintenance of
my children during the time she remains my widow ; and if she marry she
shall have one hundred pounds paid out of my estate. I do also empower
her to sell land for the maintenance of the children if necessity calls
for it.

" My mind and will is that what of my estate as shall be left at her
marriage or decease, the one half thereof shall be equally divided ' be-
tween ' my four sons, . . . and the other half equally divided ' between '
my six daughters and granddaughter, Martha Whiton, only with the
reserve that my sons . . . shall have liberty to keep the lands, they pay-
ing to my daughters and granddaughter their proportion of the same."

Nominates his wife and " cousin," Peter Tower, to be executors.

Peter Tower was liis nephew, and he afterwards married Anna,
the daughter of his uncle Samuel.

On the third Tuesday of August, 1742, a warrant was issued
from the Superior Court for the County of Suffolk for the division
and partition of the estate of Samuel Tower, late of Hingham,
cooper, deceased. The commissioners proceed to divide the same
" into two equal parts ; " viz. : —

" For his four sons' half we have bounded out about ten acres and a
half on the south side of his homestead, with the dwelling-house thereon,
by a line running from the highway at the west cud of said land, near
fourteen feet north of the middle of tlie breailtli ; as far eastward as be-
tween .Tacol) Sprague's northeast corner of his fence and Isaac Whiton's
land, and from thence to Ripley's meadow, at nine rods of a brook ; also,
the south part of his Salt Meadow by the Mill Pond, containing about
one acre and three quarters ; also, his half of the second lot m the north

division of the small ' Sheers,' so-called, at the west side thereof ; also, four
elevenths parts of all his right in the land in said Hingham, lately called
the undivided commons. And for the other half of the deceased estate foi
his six daughters and granddaughter we have set out the rest of the
home land on the north side of the line above described, containing about
nine acres and a half ; also, the north part of the Salt Marsh abovesaid,
containing about one acre, one quarter, and twenty-two rods ; also, his half
of the fifth lot in the south division of said small shares on the east side
thereof; also, seven elevenths parts of his sliares in the said undivided
common land, as so lately called ; also, all his land in the first part of
the 'third division,' southwestward of 'Prospect Hill,' so called, being
about ten acres and half in partnership with the heirs of Joshua Hersey,
deceased.

" And then his four sons' half we have divided as followeth : To the
heirs of his eldest son, Samuel Tower, deceased, a part of the small
shares, etc. . . . Also two acres and twenty rods of swamp land, more or
less, at the east end of the southward half of the homestead, bounded
westerly with the land now set to Joshua Tower by a north and south
line, at 12| rods eastward of Jacob Sprague's northeast corner.

" To his son Daniel Tower a pan of the small shares.

" To his son Joshua Tower about six acres, one quarter, and twenty
rods, more or less, in the south side, or half of the homestead, bounded
easterly with the swamp of Samuel Tower's heirs, . . . and westerly with
two acres, being twenty-one rods and two thirds in length eastward from
the highway, now set to Joseph Tower, by aline north and south. . . .

" To his sou Joseph Tower the two acres of land at the west end of
the south side of the homestead as aforesaid, with the dwelling-house
standing thereon. ..."

The north part of the homestead, which was assigned to his
daughter and granddaughter, was set off to the heirs of three
deceased daughters ; the heirs of Ruth Garnet having three acres,
one quarter, and ten rods at the east end, the heirs of Margaret
Whiton, deceased, having three and one half acres and thirty
rods in tlie middle part, and the heirs of Sarah Tower, deceased,
having about two and one half acres and twenty rods at the west
end, bounding upon the highway.

At the date of this division the currency was so depreciated as
to be worth a little less than one fourth of its nominal value.

By the foregoing division it will be seen that Samuel Tower had
about twenty acres of land in his homestead, with a frontage of
about four Imndred and sixty feet upon the street. This land was
probably his portion of his father's land, purchased of Edward
Wilder. Of this gift from John Tower to his son no deed either
of preservation or record remains. The warrant for the division
from which the foregoing extracts have been made, is probably a
copy of the original warrant made before the return to the court
from -which it issued, as it bears no indorsement of action of the
court either for its acceptance or rejection. It is dated Dec. 5,
1743, and signed by Abel Gushing, Jacob Bcal, Thomas Andrews,
Jo'. Lincoln, Thep? Gushing.

In the description of the lands of Samuel Tower as they are
set out to the devisees under his will, by the foregoing commis-
sion, mention is made of certain " small shares," without naming
■where they are situated. As there are no such lands designated
in the division of Hingham lands, the following lengthy recital in
an old deed, not recorded, but found among the papers which
have come down from Samuel Tower, has some historical as well
as local interest.

Whereas the Court of Plymouth in New England, in America, hereto-
fore granted to Timothy Hatherly, late of Scituate, in the County of
Plymouth, now in his Majesties province of the Massachusetts Bay, in
New England, a tract of land containing three miles square, lying and
being in said Plymouth Colony, as it was then called, near to the pond of
fresh water commonly called " Accord Pond," which said tract of land is
commonly called by the name of the shares, having been formerly cast
into forty shares, and have lately been divided into four parts by the pro-
prietors of the whole tract of land ;

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 65

The first part of the said tract of land as it is now divided into four
parts is the eastward part, and lieth next to the line of Scituato township.
The first, third, and fourth parts of the said tract of land as it was divided
by the proprietors of the whole tract of land belonged to, and was then in
the possession of, Captain John Jacob and his partners. The second part
of the said tract of land as it is now divided, is in the possession of divers
other persons, in which said second part of the said tract of land Michael
Peerse, of Scituate, having a single share, which amounts to as much as
a forty part of the whole tract of land of three miles square, which single
share of the aforesaid tract of land of three miles square, containing
one fortieth part of the said whole tract of land, and lieth in the second
part of said tract of laud as it is now divided into four parts by the
proprietors.

The aforesaid Michael Peerse heretofore sold to Ephraim Wilder and
Isaac Wilder, as appears by deed of sale under the hand and seal of Michael
Peerse, bearing date the first day of November, 1675, which said single
share of the said tract of land of three miles square, sold by the said Michael
Peerse to the said F^phraim and Isaac Wilder, do now belong to Jaliez Wil-
der and Thomas Wilder, son of the said Isaac Wilder,(viz. :) Ephraim's part
of said share to Jabez Wilder, and Isaac W^ilder's part of said share to the
said Thomas AVilder.

And the proprietors of the said second part of the said tract of land of
three miles square, judging it not to be convenient to have their shares to
run at such a length, they divided their second part of the said tract of
land w'ith a cross line about the middle of the length of their shares of
their said second part of their said tract of land, and so every proprietor
have his share in the said second part of the said tract of land of three
miles square, lying in two parts, which they have divided by lot amongst
themselves ; every man drew but one lot for both parts of his share in the
said second part of the said tract of land.

And by a mutual agreement of the proprietors, because the land was
not timbered alike, that such jiersons as had the north lot in the first part
of tlieir division should have a better lot in the second part of the division,
and by that means the second lot in the first part of their division, and the
fifth lot in their second part of their division, were to go together for one
man's share of the second part of the said tract of land, and do amount
to the fortieth part of the whole tract of land of three miles square, which
said second and fifth lots in their said division of their land fell to be the
share of the said Ephraim AVilder and Isaac Wilder, which they have by
their purchasing of a share of the abovesaid Michael Peerse.

The first part of the second lot in tlieir said division of their land which
fell to Ephraim and Isaac Wihler is bounded with the " Patent Line "
northward, and with the laud of Josiah Loring and Thomas Lincoln, car-
penter. Eastward, and with the land of James Whiton, Senior, westward,
and with the cross line (that divide between the two parts of their division
of their said lots now made of their second part of the said tract of land)
southward, the said fifth lot in their second part of the division of tlieir
land now made, and fell to Ephraim and Isaac Wilder, is bounded with

6

66 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

tlie land that fell to Captain John Smith and John Ripley eastward, and
with the laud of Josiah Loring and Thomas Lincoln, carpenter, westward,
and with the lands late in the possession of Robert Stutson southward, and
with the said cross line that divide between the two parts of tlieir said
division northward.

And all persons proprietors of the said second part of said tract of land
have mutually agreed among themselves that they shall have the libert}'
for themselves, their heirs and assigns, each of them, to pass through one
another's shares with carts or otherwise without molestation. . . .

Now know all men by these presents that Jabez Wilder, of Ilingham,
in the County of Suffolk, in New England, yeoman, and Mary Wilder, his
wife, for and in consideration of the sum of twelve pounds and ten shil-
lings in current money of New England, to them in hand at and before
the sealing hereof, well and truly paid by Samuel Tower, of said Iling-
ham, cooper, the receipt whereof they the said Jabez W^ilder and Mary his
wife doth hereby acknowledge, and themselves therewith fully satisfied,
contented, and paid, and thereof, and of every part and parcel thereof, doth
clearly acquit, exonerate, and discharge the said Samuel Tower, his heirs,
executors, and administrators forever, by these presents, have given,
granted, bargained, sold, aliened, enfeoffed, and confirmed, and by these
presents do fully, clearly, and absolutely give, grant, bargain, sell, alien,
enfeoff, and confirm unto the said Samuel Tower, his heirs and assigns
forever, the moietj' or one half part of the above-said single share (viz.) :
the one half of that their brotlier, Ephrairn and Isaac Wilder, purchased
of the above-said INIichael Peerse (to wit) that moiety or one half of said
single share that did belong to the said Ejihraim Wilder, according as it is
now lotted and laid by the above-said proprietors in two parts and lots (to
wit) the one half of the above-said second lot of land in the first part of
their division, and the one half of the above-said fifth lot in the second part
of their division, which said two lots, being counted together, make one
single share of the second part of the said tract of land, each of the said
lots being bounded as aforesaid, etc.

The foregoing comprises about one half part of the deed, the
covenants being omitted. Tlie land granted by this deed lies in
what was afterwards the township of Abington, and by the sub-
division of this town it is now in the town of Rockland, which
contains the greater part of the tract of three miles square. Many
of the descendants of Samuel Tower have continued here, and to-
day some of them are living upon this tract of land, in a flourish-
ing town of nearly five thousand inhabitants.

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 67

It will be seen that the quantity of land belonging to one share
•was one hundred and forty-four acres, and Samuel Tower buying
one half a share would, on the division of it, be entitled to seventy-
two acres.

It will also be noticed that the share was originally granted to
Michael Peerse, known in iiis time by his prowess as the fighting
Michael Peerse. The year following the date of his deed to the
Wilders, he and his whole company fell into an ambush and were
slain by the Indians.

Samuel Tower seems to have come into possession of other
lands in the former Plymouth Colony probably through his
second marriage, as among his papers is found a lease under date
of Feb. 20, 1712, whereby he leases for a term of ten years to
Thomas Hathaway, of Dartmouth, in the county of Bristol,—

All that his messuage or tenement lying in the township of Dart-
mouth ; . . . and the leased premises are the moiety or one half part of all
the lands, housing, orchards, meadow, and marsh that Daniel Howard, late
of Hingham, decS, had in right of his father, John Howard, of Dartmouth,
aforesaid, dec'' , etc.

By an unrecorded deed, dated April 14, 1716, John Lewis, of
Hingham, blacksmith, conveys to Samuel Tower, —

" All that my piece or parcel of swamp lying and being at a i)lace
called ' olives' swamp, on the south side of the training-field in Hingham,
. . . and contains by estimation six acres . . . and is butted and bounded
northerly with the land or meadow of Matthew Gushing, dec", Easterly
with the meadow of Jolm Smith and I'eter Ripley, Southerly with a brook
that bounds the said swamp from the land of John Wilder, and westerly
partly with the land of Jacob Stoddcr, and partly with the land of Sam-
uel Tower." The consideration named in the deed is " forty-three pounds
of the current money of New England."

This price, allowing for depreciation of New England currency,
and subjected to the comparative value of days' work, would
represent at the present time $41.5^2^^5.

By another unrecorded deed, dated Sept. 1, 1710, John Norton,
son of Rev. Jolm Norton, deceased, in consideration of =£25 lawful
money of New England, conveys to Samuel Tower —

68 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

Hingham, which salt-marsh my father Norton, late deceased, purchased
of Thomas Jewell, and contains by estimation one acre.

The consideration named in this deed, £25, allowing for depre-
ciation, and subjected as before-mentioned, would represent at the
present time $'21i, — which is probably more than four times the
value of this identical piece of land.

Deborah Tower, widow of Samuel Tower, who died Jan. 30, 1741-2,
by her last will gives to her " three sons, namely, Daniel, Joshua, and
Joseph, in pewter, twenty shillings apiece;" to her "daughter Anna
Tower, wife of Peter Tower, one bed and the furniture belonging to the
same;" to her "daughter Deborah Tower, my best bed and furniture be-
longing to the same, also my cow ; and further my mind and will is that
all the remainder of my estate, both household stuff and movables, shall be,
equally with my quick stock, divided between my two daughters above-
mentioned, Anna and Deborah. . . ." Slie names her son-in-law, Peter
Tower, executor. The will is dated Jan. 14, 1741-2. Among the papers
preserved is a bond of Deborah Tower to Peter Tower, dated Sept. 13,
1742, the condition being the payment by Deborah Tower of one half
part of the funeral charges and one half part of the debts of " Deborah
Tower, late of Hingham, deceased."

Deborah (Whipple) Tower died about 1755, ag. about 74.

Having given so extended an account of the several members
of the family in the first two generations, a brief account only
can be given of the many following in the succeeding ones.
Benjamin Tower', who was born in Hingliam, went in early life
with his parents to the neighboring town of Braintree. He
married his cousin, Deborah Whipple, who resided in that part
of the old town of Rehoboth known subsequently as Attleborough
Gore, and on the adjustment of the boimdary line between Mass-
achusetts and Rhode Island it became the town of Cumberland
in the latter State.

He seems to have resided in the northern part of the town, in
the vicinity of what is known as "Tower" Hill. His lands are
described in the records of the Attleborough proprietors as " one
quarter of a whole share purchased of Benjamin Robinson," as by
" deed bearing date Feb. 10, 1713." Then follow several grants, —
" 6.V acres, . . . being his first lot granted in 1714. . . . Likewise
6J acres of land, being his second lot adjoining his house-lot, and
laid out March 4, 1717-18, and six acres of land drawn on divi-
sion, 1735." He seems also to have acquired other land in the
neighborhood by purcha.«e, — as in 1720 from his brother-in-law,
William Whipple ; and in 1724 Job Whipple, of Providence, con-
veys to Benjamin Tower lands in Attleborough, namely, " three
small lots, ... 6 acres adjoining land of said Tower, on the
southeast part of his homestead, and eight acres lying at the
end of said Tower's on the east side of a highway by ' Abbott's
Run,' and four acres lying on the northeast part of said Tower's
lot."

In 1731 John Wilkinson, of Smithfield, conveys to Benjamin
Tower '• one acre of ' Fresh Meadow,' being on the run commonly
called 'Abbott's Run;' also two acres adjoining the above
meadow." He appears to have had other lands; and in 1729 he
gives to his son Gideon by deed " my four lots in Wrentham, . . .
adjoining each other . . . ' at Hoop Pole Hill,' and containing 42
acres." This deed is signed '• Benjamin X Tower, his mark."

70 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

In 1734 he grants land in Wrentham to his son Gideon Tower,
and his son-in-law, William Hancock, both of Wrentham. He
also gives land to his sous John and Benjamin, and other land to
Gideon.

Benjamin Tower died in 1743. His will is dated Dec. 27, 1742,
and proved and allowed Aug. 16, 1743. No memorial-stone marks
his grave or that of his wife. The burial-ground nearest to his
old homestead is known as the " Ballon " Cemetery, situated op-
posite to the ancient meeting-house known as the " Ballon " meet-
ing-house. Tiiis meeting-house is probably the most ancient of
the meeting-houses in Rhode Island ; and though the exact date
of the building of it is not known, yet tradition carries it back to
the early part of the eighteenth century, and it was probably built
in the lifetime of Benjamin Tower, and by his aid and contribu-
tion. It is now remote from any village, and is only occasionally
used for religious services. A descendant of Benjamin Tower has
conducted religious services in this meeting-house, as will be
seen by the following extract from a letter of the Rev. Adin
Ballou : —

" HopEDALE, Mass., June 16, 1884.

" Concerning the ancient Meeting House, we have striven in vaiu to
ascertain the e.\act date of its erection. We are certain of one important
fact, — the date of the deed donating the site by my great grandfather, James
Ballou". This was March 22, 1749. But that deed says the house had
already been built on the site witli his consent. We conjecture that it was
built between 1740 and 1749. Obadiah Ballou, brother of James, gave
the burial-ground also in 1749. The church structure was first called the
'Elder Cook' meeting-house, because two 'Elder Cooks,' Josiah and Na-
thaniel, were the first pastors who preached in it successively. After their
death 'Elder Abner Ballou ' preached in it through a long pastorate of
between thirty and forty years. This gave it the title it has long borne.
It derives its title, not from me at all, though I preached my first discourse
in it about the middle of July, 1821, and have preached in it occasionally
many times since.

" It has been repeatedly repaired, from generation to generation ; and
though at least 140 3ears old, promises to outlast the present century."

Rev. Adin Ballou is a descendant of Benjamin Tower', as will
be seen by this Genealogy.

This old meeting-house is worthy of preservation as a specimen
of the rude structures our fathers were wont to build for religious
purposes ; and it was probably in keeping with their circumstances
and surroundings, as they lived in a sparsely settled agricultural
community.

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 71

The external appearance of the building suggests rather a two-
story dwelling-house than a imblic building. It has entrances on
two sidfs. The interior shows the i'ranic of oaken timber as it was
put in place on the day it was built. There are galleries on three
sides, supported by the same oai<en timbers, whose roughness is
unrelieved by any plastered or linished ceiling. The preacher's
desk occupies nearly all the space on the other side of the liouse,
projecting about two feet from the same, showing a frontage of
plain pine boards in a vertical parallelogram of about fifteen by
six feet, and the fronts of tlie galleries are finished in the same
manner. All the wood-work is guiltless of paint, exhibiting the
original color of the wood, except as time has darkened it.

The seating accommodation of the house is by the old oaken
benches, with upright backs and somewhat narrow scats, which
are placed so near together as to suggest the question of a
smaller size of peo[)lc tlian the present generation, did not tra-
dition contradict it by the tales of their feats of strength and
endurance.

Benjamin Tower, by his will, gives his wife one half of his per-
sonal property and the improvement of his homestead lot, and six
acres of land.

He gives to his son Gideon " one shilling ; and that, with
what I formerly gave him, sluiU be his full part of my estate."
To his son John a quarter right in the undivided land in Attle-
borough, " with what I have formerly given him, shall be his
full share."

He gives to his son Joseph " the whole of my home-lot, to-
gether with a six-acre lot," etc., conditioned on his paying his five
sisters five pounds each; to his grandson, Nathan Carpenter,
"that lives witli me, ... my gun, sword, cartouch-box, and
chest."

He directs his " son Gideon to sell all his interest in land east-
ward at a place called ' Sheepsent,' . . . the proceeds to be
divided equally among my children."

His widow Deborali died in 1755. In the record of deeds for
Cumberland, R. I., is a " plat " of land, containing between forty
and fifty acres, divided into four parts, and marked respectively,
Gideon, John, Benjamin, and Joseph, with the following recital :
" Land formerly a part of the homestead of Benjamin Tower, late
of Cumberland, deceased, . . . given to us by our lionorcd mother,
Deborah Tower, deceased, by her last will and testament. . . .
Division according to a plan made by Thomas Wilmarth, sur-
veyor." Dated May 24, 1755.

Ruth (Thayer) Tower died in Braintree March 28, 1752.

Joseph Tower ^ mar., 2d, Elizabeth Arnold, in Braintree, int.
pub. March 27, 1756 ; and mar., 3d, widow Hannah Jones, in
Braintree. Int. pub. September, 1759.

Joseph Tower 2 lived in Braintree, where he probably died.
His wife, Ruth (Thayer) Tower, died in Braintree March 28, 1752.
In the Braintree records of marriage intentions are the following :
Joseph Tower and Elizabeth Arnold, March 27, 1756, and Joseph
Tower and widow Hannah Jones, September, 1759. No record
of liis death or of these later wives appears in the Braintree rec-
ords. There appears to be neither will nor administration upon
his estate. He probably lived in that part of Braintree which is
now included in the town of Randoljdi.

A few transactions in real estate to which he was a party are
found in the Suffolli Registry of Deeds. Oct. 27, 1742, Joseph
Tower conveys to Ricliard and Stanley Sylvester, laborers, for
the consideration of " £25 lawful money of the Province," forty-
two acres of woodland lying in the southernmost precinct of
Braintree.

July 16, 1743, Richard and Stanley Sylvester re-convey the
same land to Joseph Tower, of Braintree, set-work cooper.

April 6, 1742, Joseph Tower, of Braintree, conveys to Samuel
Allen, of Braintree, blacksmith, consideration =£25, ten acres of
land in " Moor's Farm," so-called, reserving a right of way to the
" Great Meadow."

Feb. 2, 1731-2, Christopher Dyer, of Braintree, conveys to
Joseph Tower, of Braintree, consideration .£180, " one messuage or
tenement, containing fifty acres, lying and being in Braintree,
aforesaid, bounded northerly by land of Isaac Royal and John

sion, together with one single share of land and one third part of
a single siiare, both lying in the fore-mentioned fifteenth lot, which
lots are known by the name of the ' Great Pond lots.' "

May 15, 1744. "Joseph Tower and Jolui Tower, botli of Brain-
tree, husbandmen," convey to Josiah Thayer and Caleb Thayer,
both of said Craintrcc, liusbaiidaien, consideration <£10,two acres
of land in Braiutrcc. Iluth Tower and Rachel Tower release dower.

Feb. 19,1749-50. Joseph Tower, of Braintree, set-work cooper,
conveys to David Holbrook et ah., of Braintree, consideration ,£100,
twenty acres, chiefly pasture land, at ■' Moor's Farm."

Jan. 28, 17G1. Joseph Tower, of Braintree, yeoman, conveys
to Benjamin Hayden, consideration £14 11.?. 4tZ., four acres of
meadow and swamp land in Braintree, near " Monekquot " river.
This deed is acknowledged Aug. 29, 1761. This is the latest trans-
action of Joseph Tower which appears of record. At the date of
the acknowledgment ho was in the seventy-sixth year of his age,
and probably the date of his death was not far from this time.

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 75

Joshua Bates died in Hlugham (Cohasset) April, 1757, ag. 85 j'.
8m.

Rachel (Towei) Bates died

Of Ibroolc Tower's children, Richard and John died in early
manhood. His daughter Rachel^ mar. Joshua Bates^, a descend-
ant of Clement Bates, one of the earlier settlers of Hinghara.
Joshua Bates resided in that part of Hinghani which is now the
town of Cohasset. The descendants of Joshua and Rachel (Tower)
Bates have been and are now numerous in Cohasset and the neigh-
boring towns. Some of them by intermarriage have again taken
tlie name of Tower ; some have gone out in the many different
lines of emigration which at times have gone from older sea-
board towns to subdue the wilderness of western New England,
and in continuation, borne by the ever-increasing wave, the
later descendants have been swept through all the States to the
Pacific ocean.

In the old French and Indian war Massachusetts largely sup-
plied the forces for carrying on the yearly expeditions against the
French at Ticonderoga and Crown Point. The men engaged
in these expeditions became familiar with the various parts of the
wilderness through which their route lay ; and at the close of the
war, emigration for the settlement of portions of this region com-
menced. The hill-towns in Massachusetts west of the Connecticut
river, and portions of Vermont, received early attention, calling for
hardy enterprise and persevering industry.

The War of the Revolution found the same field for action in the
first years of its progress as in the French war ; and Ticonderoga
and Crown Point were again the objective points of attaclc and
defence, and again the tramp of the New England militia resounded
through the woods until the time of the capture of Burgoyne.

At the close of the war many of the men of the seaboard
towns found their old occupations in commercial and fishing pur-
suits gone ; and the lands in the older settlements having been all
appropriated, there seemed to be nothing left for them to do but to
seek new fields for their work and enterprise. Those who held
small allotments of land sold them for the post they could get ;
and the younger men, who had nothing of property, put into the
common stock their contribution of energy and hope.

And again the Western movement begins, — not this time in
martial array, but the patient ox is harnessed to the heavy wagon,
laden with the household utensils and implements of anticipated
labor, covered with the folds of amply protecting canvas, under
which the women and children find protection from the weather.

76 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

until after many days they find rest for their weariness in the
forest solitude of their new home.

Abner Bates ^, James Bates, and Nehemiah Bates, grandsons of
Joshua and Rachel (Tower) went to Chesterfield, Mass., which
from the nativity of many of its early settlers was at first called
New Hingham. Levi Bates, Theopliilus Bates, and Phineas Bates,
bi'others, and Josiah Bates, a cousin of the former named, all
great-grandsons of Joshua ^ and Rachel ^ (Tower), went to Spring-
field, Vt., in the early settlement of that town. They had obtained
a knowledge of the locality through the many marches and counter-
marches, during the War of the Revolution, which they made from
the seaboard to Ticonderoga and Crown Point. Port No. 4, now
Charlestown, N. H., was an objective point of rendezvous ; thence
directly across tlie Connecticut, the trail ran over the high hills
and through the wilderness, now converted by the labors of these
pioneers into the productive and beautiful farms of the mountain
town. Their descendants made closer the connection with tlie
Tower family by frequent intermarriages.

Some of the descendants are remembered by their ability and
sacrifices in the line of their calling. The names of Rev. Dexter
Bates and his brother, Rev. Lewis Bates, will readily occur. Both
of them were early workers in the Methodist Episcopal Church in
the period of frontier life, when the minister required large phys-
ical endowments as well as mental equipment to meet the de-
mands made upon him. In all respects these brothers were well
prepared, and wrought with great efficiency in their Master's
service. The following anecdote in the life of Father Taylor, the
sailor preacher, will show to what unusual service these frontier
preachers were sometimes called : —

" It was on the occasion of the camp-meeting, some sixty years ago.
Just after the meeting had commenced, rumors of war had reached the camp.
A gang of dissolute fellows, headed by a notorious bully, had signified their
intentiou of breaking up the camp-meeting. The brethren, however, paid
but little heed to these threats, and proceeded with tlieir exercises. One
morning, just as the forenoon services were to commence, an excited and
almost breathless brother rushed up to the preacher's stand with the news
that the gang of roughs were on the march for the camp-ground. Some
confusion ensued, when up sprang Father Taylor, shouting in stentorian
tones : ' Who will go with me and fight these Philistines ? ' The first
man to respond was Rev. Lewis Bates. He was a man of large stature
and herculean strength. Father Taylor was then in his prime, and very
tough, wiry, and muscular. Several stalwart brethren at once volunteered,
and in less than five minutes' time were on the way to meet the foe. When
just on the outskirts of the grounds they encountered the band of ruffians,

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 77

headed by their leader, a huge, wicked-looking fellow. ' Now,' says Brother
Bates, ' I will tackle that leader myself ; and the rest of you make the best
use of 3'our fists and cudgels.' The two giants approached and clinched.
In an instant the bully was thrown to the ground with great violence,
and the heavy foot of Brother Bates was placed upon his throat. In the
mean time Father T.aylor and his aids made such a vigorous assault upon
the rest of the gang that they Hed for dear life. Brother Bates now
addressed the prostrate bully, who was writhing and choking under the
heavy pressure, ' Beg for mercy, you scoundrel ! ' And he did beg, and
solemnly promised never to disturb another camp-meeting ; upon which he
was released."

Rev. Lewis Bates continued in the ministry, in contests with
other and not so easily defeated foes, until a late period in life,
dying at the ripe age of eighty-five years. His sons — Rev.
George W. Bates and Rev. Lewis B. Bates — are worthy sons of so
distinguished a father.

In this connection, it is proper to name Rev. Joshua Bates ",
D.D., late president of Middlebuiy College, of Vermont, and his
son so well remembered in educational work, the late Joshua
Bates ^, the life-long teacher and master of the Brimmer School, of
Boston.

Hingham. Her sons, Josiah^ and Benjamin^, twins, and bachel-
ors through their lives, were noted stationers in Boston, and Colo-
nel Benjamin made a gift to the people of his native town, who
have built a memorial hall nearly opposite to his birthplace,
which bears his family name. Two other sons, Elijali^ and
George^ were largely engaged in the fruit trade of Southern
Europe. Elijah conducted the business in Boston, while George
lived in Spain, and died there in 1843 at the age of seventy-one-
He married a Spanish lady of gentle birth, and his descendants
have allied themselves with the distinguished families of Spain.
A grand.son, George Loring^, has been entitled to the distinction
of " The Marquis de Casa Loring, member of the Cortes, deputy
from the province of Malaga."

Elizabeth (Whiton) Tower died

Hezekiah Tower ^ died in Hingham (Cohasset) subsequent to
1765.

Hezekiah Tower ^ lived in that part of Hingham which is now
Coliasset. He owned lands and probably resided near " Scituate
Pond," — so called, the old record says, " not because it lieth
witbia the town of Scituate, but because the way leading thereto
passes this pond." For many years afterwards it colloquially bore
tlic name of " Kiah Tore's Pond," " Tore " being a corrupt pro-
nunciation of Tower, which at one time was quite prevalent. The
written name, however, seldom followed that pronunciation.

The date of the death of Hezekiah Tower and that of his wife
docs not appear of record. There is neither will nor administra-
tion upon his estate.

In 1754, at the age of seventy-three, he conveys to his son
David Tower " a certain piece of land, being ray homestead,
lying nigh to a pond called Scituate Pond, . . . and is part of the
first lot in the second part of the third division, on the northwest
side of the pond aforesaid, and contains by estimation seven acres,
be it more or less, . . . reserving to myself one acre in the west-
erly corner of the land aforesaid, whereon the dwelling-house of
Jolni Hurbank now standeth." In this deed Hezekiah Tower and
his son David are called " coopers."

In 1747-8, January 7, he made a conveyance to his son David
of about fourteen acres of land in the eightieth lot of the second
division. This lot is situated near the former lot.

In 1758, March 15, he made another conveyance to his son
David of three acres of land, near the last-named lot.

In 1765, March 4, he conveys to his grandson, Abner Tower,
three acres of land in the second division, " lying northwest on
the land of David Tower, which he purchased of me. . . . Also
that my piece or parcel of meadow which I purchased of my
father, Ibrook Tower, in the township of Scituate, . . . being a
part of that which is called the threescore acres."

80 THE TOWER GENEALOGY. '^

In 1765, Oct. 1, he conveys to Lydia Tower, widow of Abner
Tower, and to her two sons, Epliraim and Elijah, about twelve
acres of land in the second division. This land is " bounded
southeast with land of me, the said Hezekiah Tower. . . ." This
deed was acknowledged Nov. 24, 1766. He was then in his
eighty-sixth year.

Much of the land and many of the dwellings are now owned
and occupied by the descendants of Ibrook Tower through the
female lines.

Content Tower 3, daughter of Ibrook 2, married Joseph Souther.
He is the first of the name found in the Hinghara records, and
those who have since resided in Hingham and its vicinity bearing
the name are his descendants, many of whom continued to follow
his business of a ship-builder until that business was abandoned
here.

A descendant, Francis Lincoln Souther, was shot at the battle
of Big Bethel, and died of his wounds at Fortress Monroe June
9, 1861. He was probably the first Massachusetts soldier killed
in battle in the War of the Rebellion. The longevity of one
family in this line of descent may be worthy of preservation.

Persis (Curtis) Tower died in Hanover June 24, 1787, ag. 80 y

In Daniel Cushing's record of the early immigration to Hing-
ham we find the following : —

" 1637. John Tower and Samuel Lincoln came from Old Hingham, and
both settled in New Hingham."

Daniel Tower ^ was the grandson of the first, and his wife
Sarah was the granddaughter of the last named. Her mother
was Sarah Jones, of Hull, the daughter of Abraham Jones. The
name Abraham in the Tower and Lincoln families among those
descending from Abraham Jones has been handed down through
successive generations to the present time. Our late martyred
President, we have ample evidence to believe, was one of the
descendants.

Daniel Tower ^ came by inheritance into the possession of a part
of his father's homestead, which we have already noticed was
upon land allotted to John Tower in the first division of the
Cohasset lands in 1670. It has been handed down through suc-
cessive generations, and is now owned and occupied by Abraham
H. Towor and his brotliers Henry C. and Newcomb B. Tower.

Daniel Tower's will is dated Aug. 1, 1771, in which he names
his wife Persis, and to whom he gives —

"All the movables she brought at our marriage . . ." and other per-
sonal property, on the condition that she shall relinquish dower in
his real estate. He gives to his eon Daniel " my dwelling-house, barn,
and all my homestead adjoining in the first division of Cohasset uplands.
. . ." Gives to his son Job '• my dwelling-house and barn which he now
lives in, with all my land there adjoining. . . ." He gives the rest of his
lands in equal parts to his sons Daniel and Job. He mentions his daughter
Sarah Whitcomb.

He gives " mv negro woman Philis her freedom at my decease ; also my
son Daniel shall support her out of tlie estate I have given him, if she
sliould come to want ; also that she shall dwell with which of my sons she
shall be pleased to dwell with ; also at Philis' decease my son Daniel shall
be at the charge to bury her."

William Sprague died in Providence, R. I., 1723, ag. 73.

Mary (Tower) Sprague was the second wife of William Sprague,
who removed from Hingham to Providence, R. I., where he died
in 1723. He names several children by his former marriage, his
wife Mary and her children, Rowland, Peter, Mary, and Judah.
To his sous Rowland and Peter, he gives his homestead when they
come to the age of twenty-one years ; and to his daughters Mary
and Judah he gives one hundred acres of land without the seven-
mile limit when they come to the age of eighteen years.

The homestead given to Rowland and Peter was situated mostly
in Cranston. Rowland sold his portion to Peter, who by his will,
after making provision for his wife, his daughter Amey, and
grandson Abner, gives all the rest and residue of his property to
Ills son William. Tiie inventory of his personal property, made in
1790, shows the extent of his business as a farmer, while the
prices of the products of the farm may be interesting and instruc-
tive by way of comparison with the prices of the same products at
the present time. The following are selected for this purpose :

84 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

12 bu. of potatoes, 12s. ; that is 16| cents per bu.
630 lbs. of pork, £10 10s. ; about 5^ cents per lb.
55 lbs. of salt beef, lis. Gd. ; about 3^ cents per lb.
80 lbs. of new milk cheese, £1 10s. ; about 6j cents per lb.
61 lbs. of hog's lard, £1 5s. 5d. ; about 7 cents per lb.

6 lbs. of butter, 3s. 6rf. ; nearly 10 cents per lb.
44 bu. of corn, £6 1 '2s. ; 50 cents per bu.

7 bu. of barley, 18s. 8c?. ; about 44 cents per bu.
3i bu. of rye, 15s. 9c?. ; 75 cents per bu.

^ ton of English hay, 24s. ; eight dollars per ton.

It will be seen that the price of Indian corn, then the great
staple for bread, is about the same as at the present time ; while
all the other products of the farm, which then, as now, wci'e
necessary for the support of a family, were held at a greatly
reduced rate.

William Sprague*, the son of Peter* and the residuary devisee
under his father's will, died April 1, 179.5, and by his will, after
making provision for his wife and children, Sarah and Peter, gives
all the rest and residue of his property to his sons Abner^ and
William e.

William Sprague^ died in Cranston in 1836. In addition to
his work as a farmer on the old homestead, he was one of the
jiioneer manufacturers who have made the State of Rhode Island
so noted and prosperous. He is remembered as a man of great
capacity for labor, of indomitable energy and persevering industry,
united with business qualifications in an eminent degree. The
result of these valuable equipments is seen in the provisions of
his will, wherein he makes liberal provision for his children and
grandchildren, and gives all the rest and residue of his estate,
" including mills and machinery, bleaching and printing-works, to
his sons William' and Amasa"."

With what success these sons conducted the business coming to
them by this devise has already become a part of the history of
Rhode Island, in the great wealth accumulated, and the high and
lionorable distinction attained by the capacity which these brothers
evinced in the management of the great interests committed to
them. William was elected to several offices of public trust, and
became the Governor of the State and a Member of Congress.

They were men of large stature and well proportioned. Amasa
is remembered as a man of inflexible determination. He had the
direct management of the printing-mills in Cranston ; and being
much annoyed by the rumsellers in the neighborhood in the
effects of their business upon the operatives in the mills, he deter-
mined to break them up, and followed up this determination so

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 85

closely as exceedingly to anger the men engaged therein. On l>is
way home one night he was waylaid and brutally murdered. The
murderers were arrested and tried. One was executed, and one
was sentenced to State prison for life, where he died. The sons
of Amasa^, Amasa ^ and William 8, succeeded to the business and
wealth of their father, and William followed closely the career of
his uncle in the offices to which he has been elected. At the com-
mencement of the War of the Rebellion he was Governor of Rhode
Island. He rendered the government efficient aid by the prompt-
ness with which he organized troops and early sent them forward,
going himself as their commander.

It would be pleasant could this brief sketch of enterprise, indus-
try, and thrift stop here. But the sequel to the story is tlio old
one so often found in the history of wealth gained in our country.
The great fortune of this family, gained by the industry and enter-
prise of a few generations, and amounting in its accumulations to
millions, has within the last twenty-live years passed from the
possession of these brothers.

Some portions of it probably remain among other descendants.
One thing worthy of notice is that the real estate coming from
Peter Sprague * must, from its situation, lie, in part at least, in the
very land which his ancestor, John Tower, bought of the Indians.

Robert Corthell died March 5, 1737-8, ag. 51.

Robert Corthell was the first of the name whom we find in
Hingham. Tradition loves to dwell upon the story of his abduc-
tion from Scotland in childhood. The name is not often found
iu our early history, and those of this vicinity and in Maine can
generallv trace their descent from Robert and Deborah (Tower)
CorthelL

Of those who have interested themselves in this genealogy may
be named John K. Corthell^, of Hingham, whose son, Charles
Loring*, graduated from West Point in 1884, and is now a lieu-
tenant in the 4th Regt. U. S. Artillery. He is the second in
descent fro'm John Tower ^, among the graduates from this
military academy.

William P. Corthell', born 1814, of Whitman, iu this common-
wealth, a town recently formed from the south part of Abington,
was a representative from Abington to the Massachusetts legisla-
ture in 1850 and 1853. He was one of the selectmen of Abington
from 1850 to 1856, was a special commissioner for the county of
Plymouth in 1860 and 1861, and one of the county commissioners
for the same county from 1862 to 1877, inclusive, — a period of
fifteen years. He was one of the selectmen of South Abington,
now Whitman, for tea years.

William J. Corthell ", born 1826, resides in Gorham, Me. He
graduated from Water ville College in 1857. He has been engaged
in teaching the greater part of his life. He was county superin-
tendent of schools for three years, and State superintendent for a
like period. He has been municipal judge for the city of Calais,
Me., and he also was representative from that city for six years,
and senator from Washington county for two years, in the legis-
lature of Maine.

Int. pub. Sept. 21, 1744. She was born in Hingham Dec. 6,1691,
and was dau. of James and Abigail Whiton.

Benjamin Tower 'lived in Weymouth and Scituate, dying in
the latter place. There does not appear to be record either of
his death or of his place of burial. He received grants of lands
in Weymouth, as will be seen from papers presented to the
Weymouth Historical Society by Mrs. Orcutt.

Dec. 22, 1769, John Shaw, of Weymouth, conveys to Jona-
than Derby, Jun., " a piece of swamp containing half a share, ori-
ginally granted to Benjamin Tower."

The desceudants of Benjamin Tower ^, many of them, continue
to reside in that part of Scituate where he lived, now the town of
Norwell. Other descendants are to be found in the neighboring
town of Hanover, formerly a part of Scituate.

The name of John Tower, of Hanover, Mass., is found on the
rolls of soldiers doing duty in the War of the Revolution, but there
does not appear on the records, either of Scituate or Hanover, the
birth or baptism of one of this name. The records of baptism of
Rev. David Barnes, of the second parish of Scituate, are missing.
Rev. Mr. Deane, a successor of Dr. Barnes in the ministerial office,
and the compiler of the History of Scituate, was unable to find
them. This John Tower was undoubtedly a grandson of Benjamin.'

In a roll of the soldiers enlisted for three years, preserved in
the Massachusetts Archives, is the name of John Tower, of Han-

over. On a pay-roll for six months' service his name appears in
Col. John Bailey's regiment as engaged during the war, and
again in another roll his name appears as entitled to a credit of
forty-five months and eighteen days. His subsequent history is
unknown.

in which many of the men of New England were early engaged :

which they lived and died. They carefully preserved the papers
of their grandfather and those of their parents. These papers
embrace many deeds of lands ; and as these were not recorded, it
is through this preservation that the business of the two earlier
generations is known.

The following deed of Deborah, widow of Benjamin Tower 2, to
her son Peter ^ conveys a portion of the Jolm Tower homestead :

Oct. 13, 1726. " Deborah Tower, widow and relict of Benjamin Tower,
late of Hingham, deceased, in consideration of £30 paid by my son, Peter
Tower, of Hingham, aforesaid, weaver, . . ." conveys " a piece or part of
the home-lot where I now dwell, in the township of Hingham, abovesaid,
containing by estimation two acres, be it more or less, bounded as followeth :
Northerly and Easterly with the land of Jacob Stodder, Southerly with
the other part of the said home-lot, and the Southeast corner bounds is a
White Oak Tree ; and the line runs from said White Oak Tree to the
Southeast corner of the dwelling-house of the said Deborah Tower, and
W^esterly partly with the said dwelling-house, and partly with the town's
common land or highway."

It -will be noticed that Peter Tower is called weaver, — follow-
ing the occupation of his father. He would seem to have added
to this also that of cooper, — a business which early acquired
prominence in Hingham, and gained for it the name of " Bucket
Town." This appellation, tliough sometimes used in disparage-
ment of the people, was in reality a tribute to their skill and in-
dustry. They were all more or loss husbandmen, and drew from
the soil their food and clothing. But when snow and ice covered
the fields, making labor therein unprofitable, they found employ-
ment in the small shop or the vacant room in the house, where
they converted the cedars of the swamps and the pines of the
forests into various utensils of domestic use, in tlie work of which
there was found place and occasion for the available force of the
several families, all of which during the winter season were hives
of industry.

The distribution of the products of this industry gave employ-
ment to traders both on land and sea. The small schooner,
laden with wooden-ware, was well known in all the ports along
the coast from Maine to Georgia, and the West India ports were
not strangers to their sails.

Although the times were not rife with inventions, yet there
■was one labor-saving machine, the product of their skill, which
deserves notice. This was a washing-machine, constructed wholly
of wood and known by tlie name of the " Dumb Betty." It had a
local habitation, and was hardly known outside of the town and

92 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

its immediate vicinity. But among the townspeople it was held
to be essential to the proper performance of the week's washing ;
and a household would be considered deficient in its equipments
were it wanting in one of these implements, whereby the strength
of the man or the large boy could come in to relieve the oft-
burdened and weaker force of the woman.

In the present day of the professional in this important house-
hold work and the abounding laundries the " Dumb Betty " has
become extinct, or if preserved at all, it is relegated to the lum-
ber-room of the garret, among the discarded spinning-wheels and
antiquated hand-looms.

Many of the descendants of John Tower are called coopers for
some two centuries ; but the introduction of machinery operated
by power has completely superseded the old method of individual
hand-work, and one after another those little shops, formerly so
common as adjuncts to the dwelling-house, have disappeared, and
at the present time the only man in town plying this ancient voca-
tion is Nelson Corthell, now seventy-five years old. He is a lineal
descendant of Robert and Deborah ^ (Tower) Corthell.

Peter Tower 3, with his varied occupations of weaver, cooper,
and husbandman, added tliereto that of trader, as an old memo-
randum-book preserved among his papers will show.

The following, copied from an indenture found among his papers,
will show how instruction was given in the trades, and how much
of time and labor was required to pay for that instruction : —

" This indenture, made this twelfth day of March, one thousand seven
hundred & thirty & three or four, Witnesseth that I, Samuel Tower, of
Hiugham, cooper, in the county of Suffolk, in tlie province of Massachu-
setts Bay, in New England, have placed and bound my son, Matthew
Tower, as an apprentice to Peter Tower, weaver, of the same town,
county, & province abovesaid, and Ann, his wife, to serve them in their

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 93

Peter Tower doth promise to teacli and instruct Irim in the art & mj'stery
of a weaver, and to teach and instruct or cause him to be taught or in-
structed in the art or mystery of a set-work cooper ; and also to practice
bim in his reading and tvrighWvj, and learn or cause him to be learned to

" And at the expiration of the said term of time to give the said appren-
tice two suits of apparel, one of them a new one, suitable for all parts of
his body, both linen and woollen. But if the said Peter Tower shall be
taken away before the expiration of the said term of time, then the said
apprentice is to learn but one of the abovesaid trades, and that is to be
which he shall clioose."

Peter Tower's will is dated Oct. 19, 1769, and was allowed in
the Probate Court for SuiTolk County, April 25, 1781.

He "ives to " wife, Anna, the use and improvement of all my estate, . . .
except what I shall give unto Deborah Tower. . . . Gives to his son
Isaiah the whole of the land where he now lives, eastward of the burying-
yard ; to his sister Deborah a living in the old part of his house during
the widowhood of his wife. Gives to his four sons, Samuel, Isaiah, Joshua,
and Laban, all the remainder of his estate, to be divided equally between
them, deducting the value of Isaiah's former devise."

By the division of Peter Tower's real estate Joshua and Laban
came into possession of the old John Tower homestead. Samuel,
the oldest son, removed to Worthington, Mass., in the early settle-
ment of that town, and Isaiah had a specific devise of real es-
tate, the greater part of which remains in the ownership of his
descendants and those connected with them by marriage.

It will be noticed that Peter Tower's nine children were all sons.

94 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

Ambrose Tower ^ removed from Hingham quite early. There
appears to be no record of either of his marriages. He was in
Hull when his oldest son was born. He afterwards removed to
Concord, Mass., and resided in that part of the town which was
set off and made the town of Lincoln. There appear to be no
conveyances of real estate to or from him, and at his death
there was neither will nor administration upon his estate. The
following will show that he was at one time somewhat em-
barrassed in his circumstances. The first ])aper is a summons
from the " Inferior Court of Common Pleas, to be holden at Bos-
ton on the first Tuesday of July next, then and there to answer
unto Peter Tower, of Hingham, etc., weaver, in an action of debt"
of .£58. The summons is dated June 18, 1733. On the 20th of
June, 1733, Ambrose Tower signs a bond in the penal sum of £44
to secure the payment of .£22 " in good bills of credit, or current
lawful silver money, on or before the 30th day of this instant
June." On the back of the bond the receipt of two payments is
indorsed, April 21, 1736, £3, and July 1, 1736, £3 19s."5-7.

Most of those bearing the name of Tower now residing in
Middlesex County are the descendants of Ambrose. Others of his
descendants have gone out into all parts of the country, and are
to-day filling positions of honor and trust.

Daniel Tower ^ also was a cooper, and appears to have lived
upon the part of the homestead set off to him in the division of his
father's estate. He was a soldier in the old French war of 1756-
63. He was in Capt. Ebenezer Beal's company, which marched
to the relief of Fort William Henry in 1757. In the following
year he was in Captain Ward's company, serving therein five
months and fourteen days, for the reduction of Canada, and re-
ceiving for pay ^£9 18s. M. The next year he was in Capt.
Jotham Gay's company, and served thirty weeks and four days,
continuing in the same company the next year from January 1st
to June 21st.

There appears to be neither will nor settlement of his estate ;
but March 18, 1791, several months previous to his death, he con-
veyed to his grandson, Bela Tower, cooper, " a piece of land lying
in the South Parish, in Hingham, containing one quarter of an
acre, with my dwelling-house standing thereon."

1786, July 18, Elisha Bliss makes a conveyance to Ezra Tower,
minor, " son of my loving daughter, Huldah Tower, widow."

Nov. 7, 1792, Huldah Tower, of Rehoboth, widow, and Ezra
Tower, of '■'■Skohary" county of Montgomery, State of New York,

No further trace of the descendants of Joshua Tower has been

Joseph Tower ^ was a cooper, and seems to have led a quiet and
uneventful life, living upon the estate set off to him in the division
of his father's estate. A valuation of estates in Hingham in 1751
for the assessment of taxes has been preserved among the Tower
papers. Joseph Tower's real estate is valued at £10, and his
personal estate at X2.

THE TOWER GEyEALOGY. 99

In 1782, a few months before his death, he conveys to his son-
in-law, Amos Pmibar, cordwainer, —

"A piece of land lying in Hingham, containing half an acre, . . . with
the honse standing thereon."

Tliere appears to be neither will nor settlement of his estate.
He had previously, in 1773 and in 1774, made three several con-
veyances of portions of his homestead.

In the old French war he served in Captain Ward's company,
where he is credited with 24 days' travel and 6 months and 16
davs' service, with wages earned of ^11 Iti*. 7if., and stands

David Tower'' does not appear to have left descendants, or at
least no record of them lias been discovered ; neither is there
found any record of his marriage or death. At the commence-
ment of tlie Revolutionary War he was thirty-two years old, and
appears at that time to be a resident of Abington. His name is
on the roll of Capt. Wm. Reed's company, with thirty others,
on the 19th of April, 1775, with a record of one month and
one day's service, and a marching distance of ninety-five miles.
And again we find him doing duty in the same company in Octo-
ber, 1775, at Roxbury. As we do not meet with his name again
in any of the records, we may reasonably infer that he died
without issue during the war.

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 115

James Tower * was a soldier in the old French war. He was
in Captain Parker's company. The following certificate is found
in the Massachusetts Archives : —

Suffolk County, May 25th, 1758.
These are to certify that James Tower, aged thirty-seven years, born at
Scituate, came before me, one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for
the said count}', and acknowledged to have voluntarily enlisted himself to
serve his Majesty, King George the Second, in the abovesaid service ; and
that he also acknowledged he had heard read unto him tlie second and sixth
sections of the articles of war against mutiny and desertion, and took the
oath of fidelity mentioned in the articles of war.

Jo! Williams.

James Tower* served also in the War of the Revolution. He
■was in Capt. Jotham Loring's company of Hingham on the 19th
of April, 1775, and did thirteen days' duty. He was in Capt. Seth
Stower's company, on duty in Hull from May 22 to Aug. 1, 1776,
and is credited with one month and twenty-seven days' time. In
a pay-roll of Capt. Jabez Wilder's half company, James Tower is
credited with six days in February, 1778, doing duty at Hull.

In the muster-roll of the independent company stationed at
Hingham, commanded by Capt. James Lincoln, from May 5, 1775,
to Jan. 1, 1776, is the name of James Tower, with a credit for
seven months and four days, and thirty-six miles of travel, with a
payment of £16 5.?. 8^d.

He was in Capt. Job Cushing's company at Tiverton, R. I.,
July, 1779, and is credited with thirty-nine days' service. In 1781
he was in Capt. Elijah Baker's company in Rhode Island, and
served three months and twenty-four days. On the 4th of
March, 1776, he was in Capt. Pyam Cushing's company for four
days' service at Dorchester, marching thirty-six miles. In 1778
he was in Capt. Elias Whiton's company, doing guard duty in
Boston one month and twenty days, for which service lie received
£S 6s. 8d. In 1779 he was on the same duty in Capt. Caleb
Champney's company for two months and twenty-six days.

It will be seen by referring to the date of his birth that he was
fifty-two years old when hostilities began, and fifty-eight years
old when his last term of duty was performed.

118 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

Samuel Tower's* name is found on the roll of Capt. Pyam
Cushing's company, "assembled to guard the shores from March
11 to March 29, 1776;" and again at two different times in the
same company in the month of June of the same year he was
doing duty at Hull. He removed from Hingham to Worthington,
Mass., during the War of the Revolution, and became one of the
early settlers of that town. His farm was situated on the highest
part of that elevated region, and here, where he built his dwelling-
house and farm-buildings, nothing now remains but the cellar and
the remnant of the stone chimney fallen therein. A tree has taken
root in the deserted cellar, and has already attained considerable
dimensions. No sound of industry breaks the solitude, and the
farm bids fair in a few years to relapse into its condition of
forest from which Samuel Tower and his lielping sons reclaimed
it scarcely a century ago. His children and grandchildren went
out of Worthington into other fields, to repeat the lesson of subdu-
ing the wilderness for which their early experience so well fitted
them. The earliest record in Worthington of Samuel Tower's
family is the baptism of his youngest son, May 21, 1780, and
under the date of Nov. 4, 1780, is found " admitted to the church
in Worthington, wife of Samuel Tower." Memorial-stones in the
cemetery record the death of Samuel Tower and his wife Hannah
Tower. His will, dated July 6, 1806, makes provision for his wife,
and especial provision for his infirm son Jesse ®. He names his
surviving sons, Samuel, Shubael, and Peter, and his daughters,
Anna Alford and Hannah Hall.

The inventory of his estate, taken Oct. 6, 1812, shows the area
of his farm, 139 acres, which, with the buildings thereon, has a
value of $973. This, and the farm-stock, products, and household
furniture, of a value of $198^^5, make the sum total of a life of
industry prolonged to more than fourscore years in the more
primitive pursuits of life. And yet, modest as this sum appears,
it is questionable whether it does not compare favorably with tlie
average result of a wage-earner of the present day, amid all the
advantages of science and invention as applied to human labor.

Hull at two different times in June in the same year.

Isaiah Tower * was a weaver by trade, as were his father and
grandfather before him. He lived at the corner of Main and High
Streets in Ilingham, where he built a house about the year 1752,
according to tradition in the family. The lot on which the house
stands became by descent and division of property the estate of
his grandson, Leavitt Tower ^, who occupied it during his life,
which closed in 1882 ; and by his will it passed to the wife of his
nephew. The house has been added to since it was built, and is

120 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

Joshua Tower * was a soldier in the War of the Revolution. He
was a private in Capt. Jotham Loring's company, called into
service on the 19th of April, 1775, and credited witli thirteen
days service.

In 1776 Joshua Tower was chosen and commissioned as second
lieutenant of the third company in the second Suffollv regiment, of
which company Pyam Gushing was the captain. He marched
with his company on the 4th of March to Dorchester to relieve
that part of the army which left their lines in Roxbury to take
possession of Dorchester Heights, causing the British troops to
evacuate Boston. After the evacuation the company returned
to Hingliam, having completed four days service and thirty-six
miles travel. From the 11th to the 29th of March of the same
year he was on duty at intervals guarding the shores. The roll
of the company contains seventy-eight names, including the oflB-
cers, and eight of these are the names of Tower. In June of the
same year he was twice called to Hull with his company. In
1777 he went from Ilingham with a lieutenant's command to
join the company of Capt. Moses French, at Providence, R. I., in
General Spencer's expedition.

Among his papers is preserved a roll of the forty-two men under
his command, and, including himself, six are of the name of Tower,
— all his neighbors and relatives. On tliis paper are several
indorsements : " Marched from Ilingham May 17th ; arrived at
Providence the 19th, about 10 o'clock. . . . July 8, at Providence
at night, a mighty rain. . . . July 11, General Prescott taken
})risoncr, brought off Rhode Island by Col. Barton, of Providence."
Two other papers, containing reports of the main guard at two
different times, are signed by Captain Grant, officer of tiie day.

Among his papers are many deeds of land which he purchased,
and in some of which he is a grantee with his brother Samuel ; and
in 1803 the brothers, Isaiah, Joshua, and Laban, make partition
of lands which they held in common, by a deed in which they all
join. None of these deeds have been recorded, thougli much of
the land lias been since subdivided and passed by many successive
conveyances.

Joshua Tower's will is dated March 12, 1810, and proved and
allowed Nov. 6, 1810. In this he gives " to my youngest brother,
Laban Tower, all my homestead and buildings thereon, together
with all my other freehold estate whatsoever ; " and he makes him
his residuary legatee. By the devise under this will Laban Tower*
becomes the sole owner of the homestead of John Tower \

Laban Tower*, the youngest of Peter ^ and Anna^ (Tower)
Tower's nine sons, was a soldier in the War of the Revolution, and
the following is sometliing of the record of his service. On the
lOtli of April, 1775, under Gapt. Jotham Loring, he is credited
with thirteen days service. He served in Gapt. James Lincoln's
company of guards in Hingham in 1776, and was with Gapt. Pyam
Gushing at Hull in June of that year. In the same year his name
appears on a roll of men drafted from Hingham, Braintree, and
other towns, under Lieut. Theopliilus Wilder, of Hingham. Li
the months of December, 177G, and January and February, 1777,
he was a sergeant doing duty in Gapt. Theophilus Wilder's com-
pany, and from May to July, 1777, he was with his brother's com-
mand in Rhode Island, and in 1778 he was with Gapt. Jabez
Wilder's half company, doing duty at Hull, and in the same year
he was in Gapt. Elias Whiton's company doing guard duty.
Laban Tower was a cooper by trade, and pursued iiis calling upon
the old homestead, where he lived, and which by the will of his
brother Josiuia became his sole property. By his will, dated July
28, 1824, and proved and allowed September 7 of the same year,
he gave his homestead and all his other lands to bis wife for and
during her life, with remainder to his grandson William Tower ^.
The homestead remained in the possession of William Tower until
his death, April 12, 1870, and the dwelling-house and a portion
of the land are now owned and occupied by his widow, Lucy A.
Tower.

moved to Sudbury in 1748, and resided there nearly twenty years.
He afterwards removed to and resided in the towns of Princeton,
Lancaster, Shrewsbury, and Rutland. He was a millwright by
occupation, and the demand for experience and skill in providing
the progressive settlements with saw and grist mills explains his
frequent removals. At the time of his death ho was the owner of
a mill in Rutland. It will be noticed that the names of all liis

in both Middlesex and Worcester counties ; but previous to his
death he seems to have conveyed his real estate to his sons, mak-
ing one conveyance to Silas in 1783, and in 1787 he conveys his
homestead to Abel. In the administration upon his estate iu

134 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

Gideon Tower ^ was son of John^ He too served in the War
of the Revolution, and in an affidavit made to secure a pension
under the Act of 1832 he gives a brief account of service : —

" lu 1775 as a private in a company of Connecticut Militia, com-
manded by Captain Cleft, of Parsons' regiment; in 1776 as a private in
a company of Rhode Island troops, commanded by Captain Wilcox, of
Dyer's regiment ; in 1778, as a substitute for Mr. Barber, in a company
commanded by the same captain in the same regiment; in 1779 as a pri-
vate in a company of Vermont Militia commanded by Captain Noble,
in Herrick's regiment ; in 1780 as an orderly-sergeant in a company
of Vermont Militia commanded by Captain Hutchins, of Herrick's
Regiment."

After the battle of Bunker Hill the regiment to which he
belonged was called to Roxbury, Mass., where it was stationed
during the siege of Boston.

It will be seen that he also removed from Cumberland to Ver-
mont during the war, and that there he was again called into
service. He afterwards removed to the State of New York, then
to Kentucky, and subsequently to Indiana, where he purchased
land in Dearborn County. Tiie following account of him was
written by his grandson, John Tower Lemon, and published in
the Lawrenceburg " Register," March, 1843 : —

■'He joined the army of the Revolution in April, 1775, and served
from three to seven months every year while the war lasted. His wife
was born the 28th of November, 1754, and they are both now living
in Caesar Creek Township, in this [Dearborn] county, and enjoying
good health for persons of their age. They had thirteen children, fifty-
nine grandchildren, seventy-nine great-grandchildren, and six great-great-
grandchildren. They had two sons out in the last war, — John Tower
and Gideon Tower. The former was massacred on the 23d of January,
1813, at the River Raisin. They had one grandson, Henry Millard, who
had the honor of commanding the right wing of the Texan forces on the
memorable 21st of April, 1836, when the Mexicans were defeated and
Santa Anna made prisoner by the Texans.

" It is seldom that husband and wife live together sixty-eight years,
and live to see their descendants multiply to one hundred and fifty-seven,
and six of the fifth generation ; and what is yet stranger, that these genera-
tions should all be of one political opinion. All of these, so far as my
knowledge extends, who were voters in 1840, voted for General Harrison."

On the 26th of April, 1833, Gideon Tower was granted a pen-
sion of $96 per annum, to commence on the 4th of March, 1831.
This pension was paid to March, 1847.

In a letter written by the same grandson, April 7, 1885, he says,
writing of his grandfather : —

"The old gentleman was poor when he came to my father. He was a
carpenter by trade, and knew nothing about farming, and never owned
any real estate that I ever heard of. He was too old to work, and was
coming near to want when he agreed to come and live with father."

There are two conveyances of real estate on record in Dearborn
County in which the name of Gideon Tower appears, in one of
which he is grantee, and in the otlier he is the grantor. The
former is dated Jan. 28, 1833, and the latter Feb. 20, 1833, when
he was nearly eighty years old.

He furtlier says that he removed from Taunton to the town of

Isaac Tower^, .son of Cornelius*, removed from Cohasset during
the War of the Revolution. He appears to have settled in that
part of Chesterfield called the " Gore," — now the town of Goshen.
Tradition in the family is that Isaac's matrimonial proposals were
not favorably entertained by the parents of his intended wife, and
the record of publishments confirms this statement ; for we find
in the Hingham records of marriacrc intentions the following: :
"Isaac Tower and Mary Sprague. . . . The bans forbidden by John
Sprague, who underwrote the publi.'ihment as the law directs."
This was dated Oct. 1, 1768. Tradition further says that this

impediment did not prevent continued proceedings, as we find
from the same records, under date '• Dec. 23, 1769," that " Isaac
Tower and Mary Sprague intend marriage ;" and this second in-
tention was carried into eiJect. But as the marriage ceremony
was performed by the Rev. John Brown instead of the minister of
the parisli wlicre the bride's parents resided, according to the
custom of the times, the Rev. J. Brown being the minister of
Cohasset, where Isaac Tower resided, we may infer that the op-
posing father was not fully placated ; but, like many another
father, he probably found that parental guidance in matters of
the affection has its limitations.

Isaac Tower ^ did service as a soldier in the War of the Revolu-
tion, and was a sergeant in Capt. Obadiah Beal's company, which
marched to Dorchester on the 4th of March, 1776. He had pre-
viously served in Capt. Job Cushing's company, in Colonel
Greaton's regiment. The following order is found among the
military records : —

Cambridge Camp, Dec. 18, 1775.

Please to pay Capt. Job Gushing, in Col. John Greaton's regiment, the
sum of twenty-five shillings to each of us, in lieu of the coats promised to
us (Inlisted Soldiers) by the Provincial Congress.

This is signed by Isaac Tower, Jesse Tower, Abraham Tower,
Levi Tower, and fifty-two others.

From the Hampshire Record of Deeds, Isaac Tower is found to
be the purchaser of several pieces and tracts of land in Goshen
and in adjoining towns.

Abraham Tower ^ inherited the homestead of his father, thus
continuing it in the direct line of descent from John Tower i, to
whom the land was set off in the first division of lands made by
the proprietors of tlie common lands to be lield in severalty. Tra-
dition assigns him a place among the members of the " Tea-party"
in Boston in 1773. In 1775 ho was a member of Capt. Job Cush-
ing's company, at the siege of Boston, serving as a corporal.

He resided in Cohasset upon the old homestead, and in addition
to the cultivation of his lands ho was quite extensively engaged in
navigation and the commercial pursuits attendant tliereon.

In his will, proved Oct. 27, 1832, he gives to his son, Abraham
Hobart Tower, " all my homestead farm on which I now live, and
tlie buildings standing tlicrcon ; also my store and wharf at the
Cove," etc. He malces provision for his daugiitcrs, Elizabeth
Souther and Hannah Kent Lawrence, and makes his son, Abra-
ham H., the residuary legatee.

In an application for a pension, made Aug. 28, 1832, Abraham
Tower says that ho was in tlie Continental service from about
the 1st of May, 1T75, to the 1st of January, 1776.

Isaac Tower ^, son of Daniel *, removed from Cohasset to Spring-
field, Vt., where went a number of others from Cohasset and its
vicinity. Many of tlicse were relatives of Isaac Tower, through
a common line of descent. They went to Springfield in the early
settlement of that town. This region became known to their
fathers and to some of them as they marched through the wilder-
ness to Ticonderoga and Crown Point in the old French war and
in the War of the Revolution. It lies directly opposite Charlestown,
N. H., across the Connecticut River. Charlestown was then Fort
No. 4, and was a station for stores and a rendezvous for the sol-
diers in their various expeditions to and return from the lakes.
They thus became acquainted with the country and the advan-
tages it offered for a settlement. Mrs. Theoda (Tower) Gill, his
daughter, says : —

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 153

" My father lived on a farm about two miles east of the village, where
he built a house. He was a carpenter by trade ami an ingenious me-
chanic, and as the necessities of a new settlement required the exercise of
various employments, he often made shoes. At the time of his death he
was the owner of some five hundred acres of land in Springfield. ... He
was a member of the Congregational Society in Springfield, and was a
constant attendant upon the services of the church."

Levi Tower*, another son of Daniel Tower*, was a soldier in the
War of the Revolution. He was the drummer in Capt. Job Cush-
ing's company at the siege of Boston, as appears from a roll enti-
tled a " Muster Roll of Capt. Jol) Cushing's Co. in the 36 Reg't of
Foot in the Continental Army in Fort No. 2, Oct. 5, 1775." Again
he was the drummer in Capt. Obadiah Real's company, which
marched from Cohasset to Dorchester on the 4th of March, 1776.
He was a private in Capt. Job Cushing's company in Col. Solomon
Lovell's regiment from Dec. 28, 1776, to April 1, 1777, and pre-

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 155

vious to the last-named service he was the drummer in Capt. Peter
Cushing's company, called into service at Hull.

Levi Tower resided in Cohasset, where, like his brother Abra-
ham, he not only attended to the cultivation of tlie soil, but he
was largely engaged in navigation and commercial business.
From the situation of the town and its rocky character, — the name,
derived from the Indian language, being signillcant of this charac-
ter,— navigation to and from Boston Harbor has always been im-
{icrilied by the partially submerged rocks extending from the shore
into the line of passage. Many wrecks of vessels have been the
consequence of this condition, valuable cargoes destroyed, and
many lives have been lost. The people of Cohasset are often
called upon for deeds of daring and courage in the rescue of the
imperilled and in the saving of valuables, and for the exercise of
kindness to those wliosc lives have been saved. The following
account, written by the Rev. Jacob Flint, the minister of Cohas-
set in 1821, describes one of the many of these events. It is given
here, as Levi Tower ^ received a token of esteem in recognition of
his services.

" Among the many instances of distress by shipwreck in which the
kindest assistance and relief have been given, one only will be here no-
ticed ; the circumstances do equal credit to those wlio gave, and to those
who received relief. On February 12th, 1793, the ship 'Gertrude Maria,'
of 400 tons, bound from Copenhagen to Boston with a cargo estimated
at 840,000, and commanded by Hans Peter Clien, was wrecked on a small
island among Cohasset rocks called Brush Island. . . . The ship was first
thrown upon a small ledge, where she suffered but partial injury, then on
the island just named, whose sides are covered with pointed ledges ; . . .
and here she was broken asunder. ... A trial was made by two men to
reach the shore in a boat ; but the boat was dashed to pieces, and one man
was drowned, while the other recovered the wreck. At length, by extend-
ing a spar from the stern of the wreck, the survivors all got upon the
island out of the reach of the waves. Here they tarried in the tempest,
chilled with wet and frost, without fire or house to shelter them, till
discovered early the next morning by the inhabitants of the town. , . .
A boat was quickly brought to the beach, a mile over land. She w.is
manned witiiout delay, . . . reached the island, and lirought off three of the
sufferers. Another attempt was immediately made, but resulted in the
destruction of the boat. Two other boats were brought from a distance,
and the dauntless exertions of the boatmen were renewed till the sufferers,
twenty-one in number, were all safely landed on the shore. ... In the
mean time due attention was paid to their property. . . . An account of
articles of the smallest as well as of greater value was given to the mas-
ter of the ship, insomuch that when all was collected that could be saved
and sold at auction, the amount was §12,000.

:r^

156 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

" When leaving, the captain told his benefactors that they should hear
from him again. He sailed from Boston, and touching at St. Croix, he
published there an account of the hospitality he had experienced from the
people of Cohasset.

" When he arrived in Denmark he gave to the king such a represen-
tation of the people here as induced his Majesty to order the College of
Commerce to send in his Majesty's name four large medals of gold and ten
of silver, with the likeness of himself impressed on one side, with the
Danish words on the other, importing, ' Reward of Slerit — Noble
Deeds.'

" AVith the medals of gold came directions : one for Rev. Josiah C.
Shaw, one for Elisha Doane, Esq., one for Capt. John Lewis, and one for
Capt. Levi Tower."

Levi Tower's will is dated Sept. 2, 1819, and allowed Sept. 2,
1823. In this will he makes provision for liis wife in accordance
with an ante-nuptial agreement ; and as a matter of curiosity and
in illustration of such agreements, which were prevalent in the
olden times, a copy is hereby given, namely: —

"Six cords of hard wood and two cords of pine wood cut and put down
cellar, twelve bushels of corn-meal, sis bushels of rye-meal, eight bushels
of potatoes, three bushels of turnips, three half barrels of flour, one hun-
dred and twelve pounds of sugar, twelve gallons of molasses, eight pounds
of good Souchong tea, seven pounds of coffee, two hundred and fifty pounds
of beef and txllow, one hundred and fifty pounds of pork, ten pounds of
sheep's wool, twenty pounds of flax, eight pouuds of cotton-wool, seventy-
five dollars in cash each year. The improvement of one half of my dwell-
ing-house as long as she shall remain my widow ; also the improvement
of my clock and all m}' household furniture, except four feather-beds, that
I hereafter give to my four daughters ; and the improvement of two good
cows, well kept winter and summer, and the use of my horse and chaise,
and two seats in my pew in the meeting-house, and the use of two feather-
beds during her natural life. This includes all that she was to receive by
our marriage agreement. I also give her the improvement of one half of
my garden."

The widow certifies her acceptance of the provision made for
her in the will, Oct. 6, 1823.

Levi Tower's estate, as appears by the appraisal, was consid-
erable for the times, showing satisfactory results of a business
life of activity and industry. The amount of the real estate was
$14,187, including five thousand feet of " Salt Works," at Simon
Farm Beach, $4,000, — showing a large interest in a manufac-
ture once flourishing and profitable in the maritime towns of
Massachusetts, but from changed conditions the profit from

them has disappeared, and these works becoming worthless, were
destroyed.

It will be noticed that nearly the whole of the service performed
by Levi Tower in the War of the Revolution was that of drummer.
The drum and fife at that period were all the instruments by
which talent and culture in music were able to give public expres-
sion to the attainments of those gifted in this direction. And
from these drummers and fifers we are not surprised to find,
through inheritance, these marked qualities among their descend-
ants at the present day, enabling them to take advanced position
in culture and attainments among the most gifted in musical
science and performance.

Peter Tower \ though more than forty-five years old when tlie
War of the Revolution began, performed military service. He
was in Capt. Pyam Cushing's company, employed in guarding the
shores while the British ships were lying at the outer harbor of
Boston subsequent to its evacuation, March, 1776, and before they
sailed for Halifax. Again he served in Capt. Job Cushing's com-
pany from Dec. 18, 1776, to April 1, 1777, when he is credited
with three and one-half months' service. In 1778 he was in Capt.
Elias Whiton's compan}', doing guard duty in Boston.

Peter Tower removed from Hingham to Cummington, Mass.,
near the close of the war. At this time, or soon after, his several
children went there also, and shared in the work belonging to the
early settlement of that town. His oldest child and daughter, Leah,
who had married Nathaniel Tower ^, was among the number.

Malachi Tower* was a soldier in the War of the Revolution.
His name appears on the rolls in the Massachusetts Archives, and
by affidavit for pension, as follows : In June, 1776, he was in Capt.
Pyam Cushing's company, doing duty at Hull ; and during the
same year and in 1777 he was in Capt. Theophilus Wilder's com-
pany. In 1778 his name appears in Captain Ward's company,
doing guard duty in Boston, and in the same year in Capt. Joseph
Baxter's company, in General Lovell's brigade, which marched to

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 165

Rhode Island. In 1779 his name appears as " fifer " in Capt. Job
Cushing's company at Tiverton, R. I., and in 1780 in Capt. Tlico-
philus Wilder's company, in Cul. Ebenezer Thayer's regiment of
new levies from the county of Suffolk, raised for three months to
reinforce the continental army stationed in Rhode Island.

As both Malaohi Tower ^ and his son Malachi Tower ^ were,
during a portion of the time embraced in the foregoing service, of
the required age for military service, and the name is not distin-
guislied by senior or junior, it may be ditlicult to determine by
whom the several periods of service were performed.

In the statement made by Bathsheba Tower, widow of Malachi
Tower", for obtaining a pension, Aug. 29, 1838, she claims "6
weeks in Sullivan's expedition in R. I. in 1778. ... 3 months in
Capt. Ward's company of guards in Boston in 1778. . . . Also
3 mos. 19 days in Capt. Theophilus Wilder's company in R. I. in
1780." The statement of the widow is confirmed by the affidavits of
four soldiers then residing in Hingham, who liad served with him.

Malachi Tower ^ resided in Hingliam at a place known as
" Great Hill," nearly a mile distant from tlie principal villages
of the town. He gave this homestead to his grandson, Moses
Tower", who resided upon the same, and built a new house upon
the site of tiie old one. It is now owned and occupied by Samuel
C. Souther* — son of Rebecca^ (Tower) and Daniel Souther —
and Sarah Jane ^ (Tower), his wife. It is the retreat and home
for the children of Boston who are sent here during the heated
season of the year by the help of those charitably inclined. They
come in relays of from fifteen to twenty, and spend a fortnight each
under the care of Mr. and Mrs. Souther.

the fourth regiment, credited with forty-eight months service. In
an account kept by Massachusetts witli the United States for sums
paid " to make good the depreciation of their wages for the first

a sergeant in Capt. Isaac Pope's company in July, and is credited
with service for the months of " September, October, and Novem-

company.

At the close of the war Lynde Tower removed to Westminster,
Vt., where he resided the remainder of his days, and where his
descendants are now living.

His oldest son, Gad Hitchcock ^, — named for the minister of
Pembroke, where he was born, — by his own energy and industry
was able to obtain a college education, and was the second of the
name who enjoyed this privilege. He graduated at Brown Uni-

graduated in 1800.

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 169

Matthew Tower ^ resided in Scituate, Mass., and was a ship-
wright by trade. He was a soldier in the War of the Revolution,
and his name is on the roll of Capt. Enoch Whiton's company on
the 19th of April, 1775, for three days duty and for forty-two
miles march. In October of the same year he was a private in
Capt. Nathaniel Wiuslow's company, and his name appears again
on the rolls of the same company in camp at Roxbury in Decem-
ber of the same year. In 1778, from July to September, he was
in Captain Cliffs company in Rhode Island.

That he performed other and more continuous service appears
from an affidavit he made. May 28, 1819, in support of an applica-
tion for a pension under an Act of Congress passed in 1818 for
the relief of indigent soldiers. He says : —

" I enlisted in the company of artillery commanded by Captain Stevens,
in Col. Henry Knox's regiment, in Januar}', 177G, about the firstday in the
year. I served iu Koxbury and about Boston until the 27th of March, ten
days after the evacuation of the town by the British ; we having had orders
on the day of the evacuation to be ready to march to Canada in ten days ;
that we took up our line of marcli on the said 27th day of March and
proceeded to Canada, I being detained on the way about four weeks by
sickness ; that I arrived in Canada in the month of May and joined my
company in the month of May at a place called Sorel, and I continued iu
service until some time in the month of November of that year, about six
weeks, as near as I can remember, before my year expired, and was then
discharged on account of ill health."

This statement is confirmed by the affidavit of Lieut. Samuel
Daggett, who served in the same company and at the same time.

A pension of eight dollars a month was granted, but in 1820 it
was discontinued, as it would seem that the matter of indigence
was not satisfactorily shown. It may be a matter of curiosity to
learn the amount of property required to constitute a condition
outside of the indigence warranting relief by a pension. Matthew
Tower states that he is sixty-five years old, is a shipwright by
occupation, able to perform two thirds of a man's labor. His
family consisted of his wife, Jerusha, sixty-five years old, and
" a small girl, named Clarissa Tower, eleven years of age."

" I have about 40 acres of land of an ordinary quality, the whole about
suflicient to keep one cow, a small old dwelling-house, a small barn, half a
pew, 18 old chairs, 4 tables, 2 small looking-glasses, iron, tin, glass, and
wooden ware, brass kettle, skillet, 2 pair of andirons, shovel, tongs, one
cow, one hog, one maple desk, a case of drawers, one old horse-cart, and
loom."

The pension was not restored until 1824, with the following
explanation : —

170 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

" The difficulty in this case arose from a disagreement between the cer-
tificate of tlie court and that of Charles Turner as to the valuation of the
property in the first schedule. The court valued it at $208^jjtj, and Tur-
ner states that it was valued at $58:2^q\. The Hon. Mr. Hobart was
informed of this on the 11th of May, 1824, and has siuce forwarded the
certificate of J. B. Thomas, the clerk of the court, who explains the dis-
agreement by certifying that the court, in valuing the property, deducted
from the full value, $374, the amount of debts due by the claimant, which
left a balance of $208 ^(,%-"

The pension was restored Aug. 16, 1824.

In 1838, his widow, Jerusha Tower, at the age of eighty-two
years, makes application for a pension. Siie mentions service of
eight mouths in 1775, at the siege of Boston, tlie service in 1776,
that in Rhode Island in 1778, — all of which are shown by affida-
vits of surviving soldiers who had served with him. The service
claimed is stated as ten months in the artillery, and nine months
and ten days in the infantry, for which an annual pension of
|72Jj5^ is granted, to commence on the 4th of March, 1836.

It is remembered in the family that Matthew Tower found time
during the war to engage in privateering, — a method of distressing
the enemy then held as honorable as any other service, — and that
in his case it was unsuccessful to himself, as he was taken a pris-
oner. This is confirmed by his name being found in a list of
forty-nine prisoners returned at New York, as seen in the Massa-
chusetts Archives.

No son of Matthew Tower survived him ; and though in humble
circumstances, his oldest son graduated at Harvard College in
1806, being the third of the name who was fortunate enough to
receive the privilege and honor of a collegiate education.

Matthew Tower's descendants through his daughters are still
found in Plymouth County, occupying positions of honor and trust
in the community.

Benjamin Tower ^ was a soldier in the War of the Revolution,
His first service began on the 19tli of April, 1775, as a private in
Capt. Jolin Clapp's company, which is credited with thirteen days
service and thirty-five miles march. The company was stationed
at Scituate Harbor ; but after the battle of Bunl<er Hill it was
marched to Roxbury and did duty there for the remainder of the
year, wlierc the company appears to have been under the com-
mand of Capt. Xatlianiel Win.slow. At the expiration of this term
of service, Benjamin Tower enlisted in the Continental service for
a period of one year, in Capt. Joshua Jacob's company.

In 1837, Lucy Tower, of Bangor, in Franlilin County, N.Y., made
aiiplication for a pension, and states that she was married to Ben-
jamin Tower in Scituate, in September, 1778, " and that in the
winter following said marriage he was absent from liome in the
array, . . . and that early in the spring of 1779 he again en-
listed in the army for the term of nine months, and immediately
left home, and was gone until the month of January or February,
1780. . . . Thinl^s he was in Capt. Jonathan Turner's company,
and that a part or the whole of said service was performed at West
Point and in its vicinity. She further states that in 1780 they
removed to Westmoreland in New Hampshire, where they resided
three or four years, when tlicy removed to Westminster, V't., and
resided there until they removed to Bangor, about sixteen years
before the date of the application.

In an affidavit made by James Lincoln, of Scituate, Mass., July
14, 1837, ho states that he was the officer who enlisted Benja-
min Tower for his period of service in 1776, and that he served
with him, and says, " About the 1st of April we marched to New

172 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

London, and at that place we went by water to New York ; " and
he further says, " I think that the said Tower was wounded in
the wrist at the battle of Harlem Heights."

Noah Barrell, of Scituate, says that he served in the same com-
pany with Benjamin Tower, and that botii were wounded at the
battle of Harlem Heights.

Benjamin Tower was an invalid pensioner at the rate of $6 a
month, and this was increased, under the Act of 1816, to $8. A
pension was granted to Lucy Tower of $80 per annum.

Nathaniel Tower ^ was a soldier in the War of the Revolution.
His name is on the roll of Capt. James Lincoln's company, sta-
tioned at Hingham, and guarding the shores against the incursions
of the British during the siege of Boston. This was an important
post, as the British by their fleet had complete command of all the
inner harbor of the south shore of Boston, rendering incursions
probable, as the readiest means of relief from the want of pro-
visions and fuel so pressing during that siege. That the British
made no successful attempts is a tribute to the activity and vigi-
lance of the soldiers intrusted with this guard duty. His whole
period of service here was eleven months and twenty-eight days.
He afterwards served in Captain Wild's company, in Colonel
Brook's regiment of guards in 1777 and 1778, at Cambridge, when
(he prisoners of Burgoyne's army were held there. A pension of

$66,^0^0- per annum was granted to his widow, Leah Tower, Dec. 9,
1845, with arrears to Sept. 4, 1845, of -SOtJe-j^jj. At the date of the
certiticate slie iiad entered upon tlie ninety-ninth year of her age.
In her affidavit Leah Tower says : " We were extremely poor, and
his wages would not support our family ; and he was advised to
remove to the western part of the State." He seems to have
removed about 1780 ; and near this time a number of his relatives
of the name of Tower, and many others of otiier names who were
relatives, removed from Hingham, Cohasset, Weymouth, and the
vicinity, to the hill-towns west of the Connecticut River, then for
the most part unoccupied, where they became important factors
in converting this wilderness into well-cultivated and flourishing
farms, rearing large families of sons and daughters, who in their
turn have repeated the lessons of enterprise and industry so thor-
oughly learned upon these hill-tops, and have gone out through suc-
cessive generations in other fields to reclaim the wilderness, until
the waves of the Pacific Ocean bar any further progress.

Martin Tower ^ was a private in Capt. Peter Cushing's third
foot company in Hingham, assembled at Dorchester March 4,
1776, and credited with four days service and thirty-six miles of
travel. In June of the same year he again did duty at Hull in
the same company, which has a credit for two days service and
twenty miles of travel. Martin Tower was a seaman by occupa-
tion, and it is quite likely that he was engaged in some of the
many privateering enterprises wherein the sailors of the seaport
towns annoyed British commerce during the war. He was lost at
sea in 1787, in the schooner "Two Friends," which sailed from
Hingham, where it was owned.

Thomas Gross Tower * removed from Hingham to the western
part of Massachusetts. His name does not appear upon any of
the preserved military rolls. He appears to have settled in the
town of Florida, where, and in the vicinity, his descendants are
to be found to this day among the active and energetic men of
that mountain region, some of whom have done service to town
and State in positions of responsibility and trust.

Samuel Tower ^ went with his father's family when he was a
young man into the wilderness in Worthington, where by his
industry he wrought out for himself a productive farm and a
comfortable homestead. It was situated upon the highest part of
that hill-town. His first purchase of land appears by the record
to have been made in 1797 of a lot of fifty acres, bounded on one
side by his father's land. In 1799 he purchased adjoining land.

J

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 179

Here he built his house and farm-buildings, but did not live long
to enjoy them. His neighbor, Ezekiel Gushing, came from the
same town, and he had a farm on the other side of the street,
and built his dwelling nearly opposite Samuel Tower's residence.
Nothing now remains of tlie buildings erected here a century ago
by these pioneers and many others in the vicinity, save the cel-
lars and the fallen stone chimneys with the remains of which the
cellars are filled. A few decaying apple-trees alone bear testi-
mony to the labors of a former generation, and the land is slowly
passing through the intermediate stages of grazing-land, with en-
croaching bushes, preparatory to its former condition of wood
and forest, from which it has had a century's reclaim. None of
Samuel Tower's descendants are now living in Worthington, and
very little is known of them. His son Lyman * removed to Frank-
lin, Delaware County, N. Y., where at his death he left an only
daughter, whose descendants now live there.

confined to his house a single day on account of sickness until he

by inheritance to the sons of Isaiah *. The homestead is on the
corner of Main and High Streets in Hingham, and by the di-
vision of the real estate this homestead came into the posses-
sion of three of Isaiah's sons, Isaiah, Leavitt, and Reuben, upon
which they lived and died. This old homestead has been subdi-

dwelling-houses. The dwelling-house built by Isaiah Tower ^ has
been removed, and the land is now a part of the High Street Ceme-
tery, affording an entrance thereto from the Main Street. The
grounds have been gi-aded, and enclosed by a substantial wall and
gateway, adding much to the beauty of the cemetery and of the
adjoining estates. The portion of the original estate which fell to
Reuben Tower ^ is now occupied by his descendants, while the
portion which fell to Leavitt Tower ^, containing the ancient dwel-
ling-house, has passed by devise under his will to the widow of

Isaac Tower ^ was a soldier in the War of the Revolution. His
name appears in Capt. Samuel Sawyer's company of Lancaster on
the 19th of April, 1775, with a credit for seven days service. In
August, 1777, he was a member of Capt. Christopher Banister's
company in Col. John Dickinson's regiment, which marched to
Bennington on an alarm, with a credit of one hundred and eight
miles travel. He was a sergeant in Capt. Ebenezer Belknap's
company in Colonel Wade's regiment of Jlassachusctts, serving
from Jan. 1, 1778, to Dec. 1 of the same year, his name appearing
upon several pay-rolls during that period.

His daugliter, Mrs. " Pibbel Pomroy," in an afTidavit for a pen-
sion, states that her father was a soldier in the War of the Revo-
lution, having the rank of a sergeant. " 1 often heard ray father
say he was at the battle of Bunker Hill, and served all through
the State of New Jersey."

In the latter part of his life he removed to Bristol, Ontario
County, N. Y., where some of his children had gone in the
early settlement of that county, and where in Canandaigua, the

184 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

adjoining town, his son-in-law, Eli Haskell, was for many years
a Baptist preacher.

Samuel Tower s, of Hadley, Mass., remembers the migration of
the family to the State of New York. He was a young man, and
went with Eli Haskell to Bristol, and says " that the journey was
made in a large covered wagon drawn by two yoke of oxen. The
wagon contained the household goods and the farming tools. The
women and children rode in the wagon, while the men made the
journey on foot. On reaching the destination the wagon continued
to be the household shelter until the log-house was constructed.
Among the stumps of the clearing, grain and grass-seed were
sown, and in a year or two all the essentials for living were in
abundance."

Jcdutiiun Tower'' resided during the early part of his manhood
in Rutland, 5Iass., where he succeeded to his father's homestead,
as appears by a deed from his brothers and sisters dated Jan. 29,
1795, and recorded with Worcester County Record of Deeds.
He was a soldier in the War of the Revolution, and so much of
the record of his service is preserved as shows a term of duty from
Jan. 1, 1778, to Jan. 1, 1779, his name appearing on several pay-
rolls during the year.

The work of his life seems to have been passed in the quiet
jiursuits of agriculture as these pursuits were then conducted in
the New England towns. The better lands had been brought
from a wilderness to as high a condition of cultivation as they
were capable, and successive years of cropping had tended to
reduce the capacity of these lands for the production of remune-
rative crops without fertilizing aid, which could not be readily
obtained. The combined labor of all the members of the family
in a constant round of industry was required to furnish shelter,
food, and raiment, with small margin for accumulation. Out of
these conditions the prospect was not very encouraging for a
young man, on attaining his majority, to secure the necessary
means for buying a farm by the product of his labor. The va-
rious trades and handicrafts called for only a limited number of
hands, and those hives of manufacturing industry which have
caught all the waterfalls in the State, subjecting them to the
various purposes of ingenuity and skill, were as yet unknown.

The enticing field for enterprise lay in the unbroken wilderness
in the farther west. This was the condition of the greater part of
the State of New York ; and to this wilderness of fertile lands the
people of these older towns turned as a source and means of better-
ing their condition. The subduing of the wilderness was a temj)t-
ing field for enterprise and ability which had confidence in the power
to produce all the means of living from it, and could see in the
result of years of labor a suitable accumulation in well-ordered
farms, in whose increased value they might have competence.

To these new lands came Jeduthun Tower, with his younger
brothers, Justus and Jotham, and with his family of sons and

186 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

daughters, and found a habitation in the township of Sangerfield,
in the southern part of Oneida County. From the records of the
county we find that he bought lands there in the years 1804 and
1807.

Jonathan Tower * passed the greater part of his life in Rutland,
Mass., and lived near his father's place in that town. His busi-
ness was the making of carpenters' and cabinet-makers' tools.
He was a wortliy and exemplary man, and is remembered for
some eccentric habits and traits of character. He kept a horse,
but had no wheeled vehicle, and was accustomed in harvesting
his crop of grass to draw the hay from the field on a sled. He
was very tender and considerate in the treatment of his horse,
keeping one until it was thirty years old ; and in his business
visits to the village he would be seen trudging along the highway
leading the horse by the bridle, instead of riding upon its back.

The part of the town where he resided gained the unenviable
name of " Deathville," and it was a common saying that the judg-
ment of Heaven was only averted from it by the fact that one
righteous man lived tliere, — namely, Jonathan Tower. He was
accustomed to read his Bible through in course at stated intervals.

His son Luke ^ says that his father cut his foot with an adze in
early life, and that the wound was so severe as to prevent him
from doing military duty of any great amount ; though when
the prisoners of war, on Burgoyne's surrender, were quartered
in Rutland, he did guard duty. His great-grandson, Henry M.
Tower ^, says that his great-grandfather was fond of books, and
had collected during his life quite a library, which after his
death was destroyed.

Justus Tower ^ purchased lands in Sangerfield in the years 1801,
1804, and 1805. He afterwards came into the village, where he
built a mill, and became the owner of a considerable tract of land
near it, wliere the Bacon's Mill now is.

In a heavy freshet the dam was threatened with destruction,
and while he was upon it, trying to prevent the disaster, it was
carried away, and he was drowned. Two of his sons became
prominent business men in Waterville, one of whom, Horace D.^,
died at the advanced age of nearly ninety-two years, with the
remarkable record of not having been confined to his bed by

THE TOWER GENEALOGY. 189

Jonas Tower 5 resided in Petersham, Mass. His son, Oren
Tower % of Petersham, says that his father was for many years
a mail-carrier. His route e.xtended from Providence, R. I., to
Brattleboro', Vt. He conveyed the mail on horseback, distribut-
ing and collecting at the several towns and villages through which
he passed. His residence was sufficiently central between the ex-
treme points of his route. This was a most exacting occupation,
taxing alike his fidelity and powers of endurance.

Augustus Tower 5 died in Stow, July 4, 1838, ag. 71 y. 11 d.

Augustus Tower ^ was not quite eight years old when the fight
at Lexington and Concord commenced the War of the Revolution,
yet he did service as a soldier before the close of the war. In his
application for a pension in 1832 he gives the following account
of his service : —

" In the month of March, 1782, I enlisted as a private for three years,
was mustered in Boston by Colonel Badhim, and joined the army the last
of April or the forepart of the May following. I was put into the Seventh
Massachusetts Regiment, commanded by Col. John Brooks, and into the
light infantry company commanded by Captain Coburn, Lieutenant Given,
and Ensign Seaver. The regiment lay in the York Huts above West
Point. Our company remained with regiment until July. We then went
down to the lines near Kingsbridge for the purpose of catching the ' Cow
Boys,' as then called.

" We stayed about there and at Fishkill till late in the fall, when we
joined our regiment, which lay in the huts back of Newberg, or New
Windsor. Here we remained until the next June, when the ' new ar-
rangement ' took place , then our company was commanded by Captain
ILUs.

200 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

" Our company then went down to New Rochelle, and was there and
at West Chester, near Kingsbridge, until the fall of the year. We then
joined a regiment commanded by Col. William Hull, and marched into
the city of New York at the time the British troops left. We stayed in
the city till the last of December or first of January, when our company
went to West Point. Our company was then commanded by Captain
Frye. We stayed at West Point until some time in June, when I re-
ceived my discharge, which I have lost."

A pension was granted Jan. 5, 1833, and was continued to his
widow, Polly Tower, after his death.

Augustus Tower ^ resided in Stow, Middlesex County, Mass.,
and was for many years a magistrate for tlie county, and filled
many offices of trust and responsibility, to which he was repeat-
edly elected by his townsmen.

In 1799 he was one of the selectmen and one of the assessors of
the town, to which offices he was repeatedly chosen.

In 1804 he was chosen town clerk and treasurer, and seems
to have filled these offices uninterruptedly until the year 1826,
when his son, Charles Tower®, succeeded him.

In 1809 he was elected a representative to the General Court of
Massachusetts, and by continuous elections he held that office
until 1816. He was again chosen to that office in 1819, and con-
tinued therein until 1824, and was again chosen to the same office
in 1826. To his occupation of a carpenter he added that of land
surveyor.

202 THE TOWER GENEALOGY.

Bela Tower ^ was a soldier in the War of the Revolution. His
name is on the roll of Capt. Jotham Loring's company, doing
thirteen days duty, called out on the 19th of April, 1775, though
he was not quite fifteen years old. He was a fifer in Capt. Pyam
Cushing's company, called out on the occasion of taking posses-
sion of Dorchester Heights, March 4, 1776, and credited with
four days service and thirty-six miles of travel. From the 22d
of May to the 1st of August of the same year he was a private in
Capt. Seth Stower's company, doing duty at Hull. In the same
year his name appears on the roll of Captain Penniman's company
of Braintree as a fifer, and also from March 11 to the 29th he
was a fifer in Capt. Pyam Cushing's company, doing guard duty
at the shores. In 1778 he is credited with two months and twenty-
eight days service in guarding and fortifying the posts around
Boston, as a private. In 1780, from July 22 to October 29, he
performed three months and eleven days duty as a fifer in Capt.
Theophilus Wilder's company of three-months men to reinforce
the army stationed at Rhode Island.

He was a pensioner under the Act of 1832. In his application
he states that in August, 1776, he enlisted in Captain Penniman's
company as a fifer for four months, and at the expiration of that
time he enlisted for three months additional service. This ser-
vice was performed at Dorchester Heights. A pension of $45^^^^
per annum was granted, and this was continued to his widow until
the time of her death.

Bela Tower was a trader, and kept a store in Hingham. By
his will he gave his homestead, which included his store, to his
nephew, Bela Tower Sprague, the same being subject to the use
of the testator's wife during her life. Mr. Sprague continued the
store for many years, and it is still kept for the same purpose.
