Internal  Medicine  SDecialist 


f^,\f.}UxJU-=^.x^ 


Dr.  Homer  Wakefield,  eighty- 
one,  specialist  in  internal  medicine 
who  practiced  in  New  York  from 
1900  to  1927,  died  yesterday  at  the 
Home  for  Incurables,  Third  Ave- 
nue and  183rd  Street,  the  Bronx. 
He  had  spend  the  last  several  years 
in  nursing  homes  and  had  been  in 
the  Home  for  Incurables  since 
Aug.  19. 

Born  in  Bloomington,  111.,  the 
son  of  Dr.  Cyrenius  and  Harriet 
Richardson  Wakefield,  he  was 
educated  at  the  Shattuck  Military 
Academy,  Faribault,  Minn.,  and 
lUinoir  Wesleyan  University, 
Bloomington,  111.,  being  graduated 
in  1885. 

In  1888  he  entered  Beltevue  Med- 
ical College  in  New  York  and  re- 
ceived his  M.  D.  in  1891.  He  began 
the  practice  of  general  medicine 
in  Bloomington.  And  from  1892 
to  1899  he  was  the  medical  direc- 
tor of  a  private  hospital  there. 
In  1900  he  returned  to  New  York, 
where  he  established  a  practice. 

In  the  course  of  a  trip  to  Europe 
in  the  summer  of  1892,  Dr.  Wake- 
field had  attended  clinics  in  psy- 
chiatry and  hypnosis  in  Paris.  He 
became  a  member  of  the  Societe  de 
Psychologie  et  Hypnologie  and  in 
this  country  was  a  pioneer  in  the 
therapeutic  use  of  hypnosis. 

He  also  studied  diseases  of  the 
heart  under  Professor  Theodor 
Schott  at  Bad  Nauheim,  Germany. 
In  September,  1892,  he  became  a 
member  of  the  International  Con- 
gress of  Experimental  Psychology, 
at  University  College,  London. 

In  1893  he  married  Julia  Pear- 
son Sherman  in  Buffalo. 

In  New  York,  he  was  Chief  of 
Clinic  of  the  Department  of  Gen- 


f  A/^^ 


eral  Medicine,  Outpatient  Depart- 
ment, Bellevue  Hospital,  from  1901 
to  1905.  He  engaged  in  cancer  re- 
search and  therapy  until  his  re- 
tirement in  1927. 

He  was  the  author  of  more  than 
thirty  medical  monographs,  in- 
cluding "The  Metabolic  Theory  of 
Cancer"  and  "The  Psychoneurosis 
of  the  War."  In  addition,  he  wrote 
under  the  pseudonym  of  Prescott 
Locke  a  fictionalized  case  history 
involving  the  pathology  of  religious 
evangelism,  entitled  "The  Conver- 
sion of  Hamilton  Wheeler." 

In  1897,  after  twelve  years  of  re- 
search, he  published  "The  Wake- 
field Memorial,"  a  Wakefield  fam- 
ily history.  He  was  the  descend- 
ant of  John  V/akefield,  who  came 
from  England  to  Virginia  in  1635 
and  whose  tombstone  is  the  oldest 
in  the  Old  Granary  Burying 
Ground  in  Boston. 

Dr.  Wakefield  was  a  member  of 
the  American  Medical  Association 
and  the  American  Association  for 
the  Advancement  of  Science.  He 
was  a  fellow  of  the  Medical  Asso- 
ciation of  the  City  of  Greater  New 
York,  and  a  member  of  the  New 
York  County  Medical  Society,  the 
New  York  Pathological  Society, 
and  the  New  York  Physicians' 
Mutual  Air  Association.  He  is  also 
a  member  of  the  Illinois  State 
Medical  Society,  the  McLean 
County  (Illinois)  Medical  Society, 
and  the  Illinois  Society  of  the  Sons 
of  the  American  Revolution. 

Surviving  besides  his  wife  are 
two  daughters,  Mrs.  Stephen  H. 
Tyng  and  Mrs.  Philip  P.  Whrit- 
ner,  of  Milford,  Conn.;  a  son,  Sher- 
man Day?'  Wakefield,  and  two 
grandchildren.

Dr.  Cigrenius  Makcficlb, 

A  pioneer  genealogist  of  the  Wakefield  family,  who  took  great  pride  in 
the  family  name,  and  the  high  grade   of  morality,  so  universal 
among  those  bearing  it.       He  always  believed  and  taught  that 
the  ties  of  blood  should  be  much  stronger  than  any  other 
bond  of  brotherhood.       More   than  a  score   of    years 
ago,  he  compiled,  and  left  at  his  death,  in  man- 
uscript, the  nucleus  from  which  the  contents 
of    these    pages    originated,  and    which 
proved   the   impetus,  which   has 
culminated  in  the  completion 
of  this  work. 

Affectionately  Inscribed  by  His  Son, 

She  Compiler. 


PREFACE. 


In  presenting  the  present  volume  to  the  kinfolk,  the  compiler  has  no 
apology  to  offer.  He  feels  that  he  has  diligently  applied  himself  to  the  task 
of  making  the  best  possible  compilation  of  such  records  as  are  at  the  dis- 
posal of  genealogists. 

It  is  not  assumed  that  he  has  finished  a  work  that  is  perfect,  complete, 
or  free  from  error,  but  to  the  contrary,  he  rather  expects  some  criticism 
on  those  points.  No  one,  however,  who  has  not  himself  made  genealogical 
researches  and  attempted  the  compilation  of  a  family  history,  on  a  large 
scale,  has  any  idea  of  the  difticulties  and  perplexities  that  have  to  be  met 
and  conquered;  especially  in  a  case  like  this,  where  no  previous  compila- 
tion, on  which  to  add,  improve,  and  correct,  has  been  at  the  disposal  of 
the  compiler.  The  meagerness  of  early  New  England  records  are  a 
constant  source  of  annoyance  to  the  genealogist.  Ofttimes  when  the 
town  records  fail,  he  has  recourse  to  the  church  records  of  the  town; 
often  both  fail,  and  he  is  dependent  on  the  county  registry  of  deeds 
and  probate.  Much  trouble  is  often  encountered  in  tracing  the  removals 
from  one  town  to  another,  and  connecting  up  of  families,  in  their  proper 
relationship.  Not  infrequently  the  clue  to  the  identity  of  isolated  persons, 
families,  and  sometimes  many  generations  together,  is  so  small  that  their 
ultimate  classification  is  almost  guesswork;  so  far  does  it  depend  upon  the 
judgment  of  the  compiler.  Much  care  and  caution  has  been  exercised  in 
this  particular,  however,  the  compiler  fully  realizes  that  at  times,  if  greater 
different  data  had  been  brought  to  bear  in  certain  instances,  a  different 
conclusion  might  have  been  the  result.  In  many  cases  i^resent  day  descend- 
ants have  most  ridiculous  traditions  of  their  early  forefathers,  which  are 
generally  very  widely  different  from  the  official  records,  as  preserved  to 
us;  therefore,  family  traditions,  in  many  cases,  are  of  little  or  no  value. 
Incomplete  early  records,  however,  are  not  the  only  bugbears;  the  unfor- 
tunate lack  of  education  on  the  subject,  of  family  history,  of  the  Ameri- 
can people,  and  their  consequent  lack  of  information,  and  even  interest, 
in  the  subject,  sufficient  to  induce  them  to  reply  to  letters  or  circulars, 
beseeching  them  to  divulge  their  lineages  and  family  histories,  to  the 
extent  of  their  knowledge,  has  caused  the  writer  the  most  unsurmount- 
able  perplexities.  Continually,  he  has  been  obliged  to  resort  to  public 
records  for  data,  of  comparatively  recent  date,  when  it  should  have  been 
easily  and  cheerfully  furnished  by  the  descendants.  Again,  whole  families 
would  have  had  to  be  omitted,  but  for  the  industry  and  sagacity  of  rela- 
tives, who,  in  addition  to  their  own  records,  have  collected  and  furnished  us 
with  collateral  branches,  of  their  families.  Should  any  member  of  the 
family,  who  has  not  personally  furnished  records,  of  an  authentic  nature,  of 
his  own  family,  on  inspection  of  this  volume,  find  any  of  his  lineage  or 
family  records  incomplete  or  incorrect,  let  him  blame  himself  for  not  insur- 
ing its  correctness,  by  sending  to  the  compiler  the  very  knowledge,  by 
which  he  judges  of  the  error,  as  herein  made. 


vi  Preface. 

The  compiler  of  this  volume  will  consider  it  a  favor  if  any  member  of 
the  famii}',  possessing  the  necessary  information,  will  kindly  furnish  him 
with  any  additions  or  corrections  to  the  contents  of  this  edition,  that  the 
next  edition  of  the  Wakefield  Genealogy,  whenever  that  may  be  compiled, 
may  be  that  much  more  correct  and  complete.  While  the  writer  of  this 
work  will  never  compile  another  genealogy,  he  will  consent  to  act  as  his- 
torian of  the  family,  and  preserve  all  records  that  come  into  his  hands, 
until  some  other  member  of  the  kinfolk  begins  a  revision  of  this  edition, 
when  he  will  cheerfully  turn  all  records  over  to  him. 

One  of  the  greatest  annoyances  to  genealogists  is  the  idea  in  the  minds 
of  many  persons,  that  the  compilation  and  publication  of  a  genealogy,  is  a 
commercial  enterprise,  and  is  fostered  by  mercenary  motives.  Nothing, 
however,  could  be  further  from  the  fact,  as  all  genealogists  agree  that 
their  productions  never  have  been  financial  successes.  The  reasons  are 
many:  seldom  more  than  500  volumes  of  a  single  family  history,  are  ever 
sold  and  the  cost  for  composition,  which  is  the  greater  part  of  the  en- 
tire cost  of  publication,  is  as  great  for  an  edition  of  500  copies  as  it  would 
be  for  several  thousand;  and,  moreover,  everything  else,  cost  of  paper, 
press-work,  and  binding,  are  greater  in  proportion,  per  volume,  for  a  small 
than  for  a  large  edition.  Family  pride  demands  first-class  paper,  binding, 
workmanship,  and  clear  tj^pe,  and  it  all  increases  the  cost  of  publication. 

As  all  great  families  are  composed  of  persons  in  all  conditions  and  sta- 
tions of  life,  a  family  history,  in  order  to  meet  with  a  general  sale  among 
them,  must  not  be  priced  at  higher  than  $5  or  $6  a  volume,  however  costly 
the  compiler  finds  it  to  publish.  Another  aspect  of  the  subject  is  the  cost 
of  compilation  of  the  contents  of  the  work.  As  a  rule,  this  is  entirely  lost 
sight  of  by  critics,  and  many  will  probably  question  the  statement,  that  in 
the  compilation  of  this  work,  the  total  cost  of  obtaining  the  immense 
amount  of  historical,  genealogical,  biographical,  and  miscellaneous  records 
herein  contained,  from  the  registries  of  deeds,  probate  courts,  towns, 
churches,  etc.,  has  far  exceeded  the  cost  of  publication.  In  order  to  admit 
of  the  compilation  of  this  work  within  a  space  of  twelve  years,  it  has  been 
necessary  to  give  almost  continual  employment  to  an  amanuensis,  for 
more  than  three  years,  in  conducting  the  immense  amount  of  correspond- 
ence, issuing  circulars,  and  compiling  and  editing  of  the  contents  of  the 
work.  Several  hundred  dollars  have  been  invested  in  stamps  alone,  while 
much  money  has  been  expended  in  the  purchase  of  printed  stationery  and 
circulars,  which  have  been  sent  out  by  the  thousand. 

In  conclusion,  a  compiler  of  a  genealogy  does  not  labor  for  profit,  but 
for  a  philanthropic  purpose,  that  his  family  might  preserve  an  historical 
record  of  itself.  He  not  onl}'  devotes  years  of  persistent,  tedious,  and 
patient  labor  to  the  compilation  and  editing  of  the  genealogy,  but  advances 
many  hundreds  of  dollars  for  its  compilation  and  publication,  much  of 
which  he  never  expects  to  have  refunded.  Such  is  the  way  of  the  family 
historian. 

THE  ORIGIN  AND  DEVELOPMENT  OP  THIS  WORK. 
The  nucleus  of  the  present  volume,  was  compiled  by  Dr.  Cyrenius 
Wakefield  during  his  lifetime,  and  was  left  by  him  in  manuscript  form  at 
his  death;  it  comprised  an  incomplete  record  of  the  posterity  of  his  ances- 
tors, Thomas  and  Dorcas  (Pratt)  Wakefield,  of  Boston  and  Reading,  Mass., 


Preface.  vii 


and  Amherst,  N.H.  A  copy  of  this  record  was  given  to  his  brother  Orin, 
and  on  his  (Orin's)  death,  fell  into  the  hands  of  his  son,  Hon.  George  W. 
Wakefield,  who,  becoming'  interested  in  the  subject,  began  in  that  year,  a 
general  correspondence  among  persons  bearing  the  name,  of  whose  ad- 
dresses he  could  learn,  endeavoring  to  extend  and  possibly  complete 
a  genealogy  of  the  posterity  of  the  said  Thomas  Wakefield.  He  proposed 
to  print  the  same  in  the  form  of  a  small  pamphlet  for  private  circulation. 
The  original  manuscript,  of  Dr.  C.  Wakefield,  became  the  property  of 
the  writer,  who  also  became  interested  in  the  subject,  and  who  as  occasion 
permitted,  extended  his  knowledge  of  his  family.  While  in  Elngland  in 
1892,  he  made  considerable  research  on  the  English  origin  of  the  family, 
and  the  following  year  he  proposed  to  Hon.  George  W.  Wakefield,  that  they 
consolidate  their  compilations  to  date:  and  unite  their  efforts  for  an  organ- 
ized system  of  collecting,  compiling,  and  editing  of  the  historical,  genea- 
logical, and  biographical  data  of  all  of  the  Wakefield  families  of  the 
world,  or  such  as  could  be  obtained.  Thereupon  a  large  four  page  circular, 
containing  a  prospectus  of  the  proposed  work,  and  a  blank  form,  to  be 
filled  in  and  returned  with  complete  family  and  ancestral  records,  was 
formulated  and  printed.  These  were  sent  out  in  great  numbers,  to  all  ob- 
tainable addresses,  in  all  the  English  speaking  countries  of  North  America 
and  Great  Britain.  During  the  summer  of  1895,  the  official  records  of  the 
early  colonists  of  America  and  the  more  recent  generations  of  the  various 
branches  of  the  family,  were  duly  connected  together,  classified  into  great 
families,  descending  from  common  progenitors,  and  duly  edited  for  publi- 
cation. There  being,  however,  many  omissions  of  immediate  families 
and  persons,  it  was  thought  best,  before  publishing,  to  issue  broadcast, 
another  circular,  notifying  the  entire  family  of  the  near  approach  of  pub- 
lication, and  that  unless  they  furnished  their  records  immediately,  they 
would  have  to  be  entirely  omitted  from  the  work.  The  results  from  this 
circular  were  marvelous.  The  amount  of  material  received  was  nearly,  if 
not  quite  as  great  as  the  total  amount  collected  in  the  space  of  ten  years 
preceding  the  issuance  of  that  circular.  Instead  of  being  able  to  publish 
the  work  at  that  time,  it  has  required  a  year  to  prepare  the  immense 
amount  of  new  material  for  publication,  and  now  without  daring  to  prey 
longer  upon  the  patience,  of  the  early  patrons  of  the  work,  we  publish 
it,  without  further  warning  to  those  who  have  been  thus  far  omitted. 
Owing  to  the  pressing  duties  as  district  judge,  Hon.  George  W.  Wakefield 
found  himself  unable  to  devote  to  the  work  the  time  that  he  had  at  first 
anticipated,  and  fully  appreciating  his  embarrassment  in  that  respect,  he 
relinquished  his  claim  as  co-compiler  and  graciously  took  rank  among  the 
collaborators. 

The  compiler  has  been  informed  thatDr.  George  W.Wakefield,  of  Cherry- 
field,  Me.,  Mr.  .lohn  L.  Wakefield,  of  Boston,  and  Kev.  David  H.  Wakefield 
of  Redstone,  Penn.,  had  all  collected  records  of  their  respective  branches 
of  the  family,  with  an  intention  of  themselves  publishing  them.  But  they 
had  all  either  failed  to  complete  their  preparation  for  publication,  or  had 
rested  satisfied  with  the  simple  collection  of  them,  and  preservation  in 
manuscript  form.  Be  it  said  to  their  credit,  however,  that  all  of 
them  turned  over  the  fruits  of  their  labors  to  the  compiler  of  this  work, 
and  they  have  accordingly  been  incorporated  into  this  volume.  We  have 
learned  with  regret,  that  much  of  the  manuscript  history  of  David  Wake- 


viii  Preface. 

field,  of  Path  Valley,  Penn.,  his  ancestry,  and  posterity,  had  been  lost  or 
destroyed,  and  was,  therefore,  not  amenable  to  the  pages  of  this  work. 
Also  that  Hon.  John  Allen  Wakefield,  author  of  a  history  of  the  Black 
Hawk  war  and  "squatter  courts"'  in  Kansas,  compiled  quite  an  extensive 
manuscript  history  of  his  branch  of  the  family,  which  was  destroyed  on  the 
night  of  September  1,  185G,  when  his  house  in  Douglas  county,  Kas.,  was 
burned  by  invading  pro-slavery  men,  from  Missouri,  and  other  southern 
states.  The  compiler  wishes  to  take  this  opportunity,  in  behalf  of  himself, 
and  the  family  in  general,  who  now  come  into  the  possession  of  the  first 
genealogy  ever  published  of  the  Wakefield  family,  to  express  their  sincere 
appreciation  of  the  material  contributions  of  time  and  labor,  of  Judge 
George  W.  Wakefield,  who  has  made  extended  researches,  and  by  extensive 
correspondence,  has  collected  many  records  from  private  sources,  as 
well  as  from  registries  of  Probate,  of  Suffolk  and  Essex  county,  Mass.,  and 
York  county.  Me.  His  generous  assistance  and  wise  counsels  during  the 
entire  period  that  this  work  has  been  in  preparation,  have  been  much  ap- 
preciated by  the  compiler. 

The  compiler  is  much  indebted  for  the  patient  and  tedious  labor  and 
valuable  assistance:

scribed from  the  Suffolk  and  Middlesex  county,  (Mass.,)  registries  of  deeds

and  Amherst. 

Of  William  Curtis  Wakefield,  of  South  Framingham,  Mass.,  for  photo-

Wakefield  deeds  of  Essex  county,  Mass.,  and  researches  on  the  armorial 
bearing's  of  the  family. 

Many  others,  too  numerous  to  mention,  individually,  have  furnished  us 
with  records  of  other  than  their  own  lineages,  and  manifested  a  deep  inter- 
est in  the  success  of  the  undertaking,  otherwise  than  substantial  aid,  mak- 
ing the  work  possible.  All  have  done  a  service  that  should  be  thoroughly 
appreciated  by  every  member  of  the  Wakefield  family.  It  will  be  noted 
that  even  the  most  valuable  contributions  are  not  solely  confined  to  those 
bearing' the  name.    "Blood  will  tell." 

GENEALOGY,    THE  REALIZATION  OF   A    MORTAL   IMMORTALITY. 

Not  the  least  among'  the  many  valuable  purposes  of  a  knowledge  of 
family  history  is  one  that  I  have  not  yet  seen  advanced  by  any  other  genealo- 
gist: By  the  acquisition  of  knowledge  of  the  life  and  times  of  our  ances- 
tors, we  acquire  a  realization,  in  this  life,  of  the  essentials  of  what  is 
promised  us  for  the  one  after  death.  A  spiritual  existence  without  a  fond 
memory  connecting'  it  with  the  mortal  one,  would  be  barren,  being' destitute 
of  the  link  connecting  the  two  existences,  as  that  of  a  single  individual. 
The  same  may  be  said  of  the  memory  being'  the  single  link,  connecting'  the 
infant  with  the  child,  the  youth  with  the  man,  and  the  young  and  middle- 
aged  man  with  old  age.  A  change  of  form  and  feature,  of  voice  and  man- 
ner, of  mentality  and  habits,  perhaps  of  environment  and,  even  of 
circumstances,  leaves  the  memory  of  one's  former  self  the  only  connecting 
link.  With  a  knowledge  of  our  ancestors,  we  are  like  unto  an  immortal 
person,  who  with  descent  of  the  same  name  and  blood,  a  similarity  of  form 
and  feature,  voice  and  manner,  mental  proclivities  and  other  character- 
istics, descends  down  the  ages,  enjoying  a  mortal  immortality,  the  living 
knowledge  of  his  lineage,  being  equivalent  to  the  life's  recollections,  as  re- 
corded in  the  mind  of  the  aged.  The  paramount  beauty  of  the  realization, 
is  that  the  parent  of  the  present  day  sees  and  enjoys  the  company  of  his 
own  successors,  his  children,  who  are  his  heirs  to  name,  blood,  form,  fea- 
ture, voice,  manner,  mental  characteristics,  etc.,  who  with  their  posterity 
continue  the  mortal  immortality  in  the  ages  to  be.  Their  genealogies  serve 
as  the  memory  of  the  past  existence. 

A  WARNING. 
It  is  deemed  proper  ■|»o  warn  the  kinfolk  that  genealogies  are  sometimes 
made  to  serve  very  unfortunate  ends,  in  the  hands  of  ''confidence"  men  and 
women.  Books  of  this  kind  find  their  way  into  public  libraries,  where  they 
can  be  consulted  by  any  one;  here  cunning  rascals  familiarize  themselves 
with  parts  of  the  family  history  and  impersonate  a  distant  relative  and  im- 
pose on  the  family  hospitality,  borrow  money, ask  valuable  and  rare  favors, 
on  various  pretenses,  all  to  beat  the  selected  victim.  Sometimes  (it  is  said) 
spirit  mediums,  clairvoyants,  and  fortune  tellers  consult  genealogies  to  ob- 
tain necessary  family  history  to  bewilder  and  defraud  their  patrons.  All 
kinds  of  schemes  are  resorted  to,  nowadays,  for  defrauding,  and  genealogies 
offer  no  exception  to  the  rule.

X  Introduction. 


INTRODUCTION. 


The  genealogical  classification  of  this  work  is  so  simple,  that  an  ex- 
tended explanation  of  it  is  unnecessary. 

The  indexes  will  be  found  complete  and  comprehensive,  facilitating 
the  location  of  any  person  or  place  in  the  work. 

To  trace  a  lineage,  either  toward  or  from  the  progenitor  of  a  family, 
the  reader  will  find  the  consecutive  numbering  of  the  members  of  each 
great  family,  corresponding,  from  one  generation  to  another,  that  is,  a 
person  has  the  some  consecutive  number  in  one  generation,  as  a  parent, 
that  he  would  have  in  the  previous  generation  as  a  child.  It  will  be  noticed 
that  each  local  family  recorded  in  the  book,  gives  first  the  entire  descent 
from  the  progenitor,  and  secondly  the  complete  parentage,  the  records  of 
which  will  always  be  found  in  the  preceding  generation. 

To  trace  relationship  between  two  descendants,  trace  the  two  back  to 
a  common  ancestor;  if  it  be  a  parent,  they  would  be  brothers;  if  it  be  a 
grandparent,  they  would  be  cousins:  if  it  be  a  great-grandparent,  they 
would  be  cousins  once  removed;  if  it  be  a  great-great-grandparent,  they 
would  be  cousins  twice  removed,  etc.  If  one  is  a  grandchild  and  the  other 
a  great-grandchild,  they  would  be  said  to  be  second,  or  half  cousins,  etc. 

There  is  no  established  connection  between  the  several  great  families, 
except  that  they  all  undoubtedly  descend  from  the  original  family  of 
Wakefield,  of  Pontefract  (Pomfret),  Yorkshire,  Eng. 

It  will  be  noted  that  where  a  woman  bearing  the  name,  is  married  to  a 
man  bearing  another  name,  that  her  children,  also  bearing  the  husband's 
name,  are  indicated  as  descendants  instead  of  children,  as  are  those  bearing  the 
name  of  Wakefield.  Also  the  children  bearing  other  names,  do  not  have 
the  consecutive  numbering,  as  do  those  bearing  the  name,  but  are  num- 
bered simply  according  to  their  order  in  their  immediate  familes.  and  their 
generation  of  descent  from  the  Wakefield  parent  or  ancestor.  The  num- 
bers indicative  of  generation  are  placed  at  the  end  of  the  given  name.  To 
further  facilite  the  ready  recognition  of  generations  among  descendants, 
each  generation  is  offset  to  the  right,  from  the  one  preceding  it. 

Abridged  references  and  authorities  throughout  the  text  of  the  work, 
will  be  found  more  fully  in  the  index  of  authorities  in  the  back  of  the  book. 

In  the  early  years  in  New  England,  ordinal  numbers  were  frequently 
substituted  in  records  for  the  '"heathen"'  names  of  months  and  days,  and 
"Lady  Day,"  the  25th  of  March  was  the  first  of  the  year  instead  of  January 
first  and  the  twelfth  month  was  February  instead  of  December. 

The  method  of  computing  from  New  Years  day,  January  1,  as  the  first 
day  of  the  year,  was  already  in  use  in  Scotland  and  Europe,  so  that  dates 
between  January  1  and  March  25,  would,  by  the  old  method,  be  numbered 
one  year  earlier  than  by  the  new  method,  and  sometimes  both  years  would 
be  indicated.    The  two  dates  are  now  commonly  indicated  by  the  use  of  the

hyphen,  from  January  1  to  March  25.  By  an  act  of  parliament,  adopted 
September  2,  1752,  a  change  was  made  from  the  Julian  to  the  Gregorian 
calendar,  when  eleven  days  were  dropped,  and  the  next  day  became  Sep- 
tember 14,  so  that  for  the  tnie  dates  before  March,  1700,  ten  days  should  be 
added  to  the  record  date,  and  after  March,  1700,  eleven  days.  These 
changes  In  dates  have  caused  considerable  confusion  among  genealogists, 
in  computing  the  dates  of  vital  records  of  the  early  forefathers. 

Pedigrees  of  ancestors  of  Wakefield  descendants,  bearing  other  names, 
will  be  found  distributed  through  the  work,  where  the  intermarriage  be- 
tween the  families  takes  place.     The  index  will  facilitate  finding  them.

The  names  Warfield  and  Wakeford  have  probably  descended  from  the  same  ori- 
gin as  Wakefield,  but  it  is  not  the  province  of  this  work  to  trace  any  except  the  latter.  In 
the  descent  of  the  three  names  they  have  come  to  represent  distinct  and  separate 
families. 


EARLY  ENGLE  AND  SAXON  NAMES  OF  PLACES. 

Lfu'h'ft  Topor/raphical  Bictionari/.vol.  iv.— Wakefield  (Cut  of  arms  )  This  place,  which 
from  the  discovery  of  Roman  coins  and  some  slight  traces  of  a  militar}'  road  intersect- 
ing the  parish  about  two  miles  from  the  town,  has  b}'  some  writers  been  regarded  as  the 
site  of  a  Roman  station  connecting  Cambodunum  with  Legeolium,  is  indisputably  of 
Saxon  origin,  as  its  name,  In  the  Domesday  Survey,  Wac/ifeld,  obviously  implies.  The 
river  Calder  was  made  navigable  in  1698,  arid  the  Hire  and  Calder  Navigation  Company 
have  their  principal  office  near  the  bridge.  The  navigation  opens  a  direct  communica- 
tion with  Hull  and  the  whole  of  the  eastern  coast.  The  Barnsley  canal  connects  with 
Barnsley  and  Sheffield.  The  town  is  under  the  superintendence  of  a  constable  appointed 
and  sworn  into  office  by  the  steward  of  the  lord  of  the  manor,  at  the  Court  leet,  which 
place  half  yearly  at  the  Moot  Hall  in  Kirk  gate,  a  manor  court  for  the  determination 
of  petty  causes  and  for  the  recovery  of  debts  under  £5  is  held  by  the  steward  at  the 
Moot  Hall  every  three  weeks. 

Sti?-feeK  Snciefy.  vol.  v..  p.  449.— Wakefield  is  a  large  and  opulent  town,  delightfully 
situated  on  the  left  bank  of  the  Calder,  in  the  center  of  the  parish  to  which  it  gives 
name.  It  is  nine  miles  from  Leeds,  ten  from  Barnsley,  and  one  hundred  and  eighty- 
seven  from  London.  The  etymology  of  the  place  is  probably  derived  from  the  appella- 
tion of  the  first  Saxon  possessor,  combined  with  that  of  the  estate  which  he  possessed.  In 
Domesday  Book  it  is  called  Wachefeld. 

Castidariiim  Sa.voiiicum.  vol.  i,  p.  224.— (A  collection  of  charters  relating  to  Anglo  Saxon 
history  by  Walter  de  Gray,  London,  180.5.)  Grant  by  ^thelbald.  Monarch  of  Britain  to 
Abindon  Abbey,  of  land  in  Wacanesfel  or  Watchfleld,  County  Berks,  with  confirmation 
by  King  ^thelbard,  A.  D.  72E-737.    Document  in  Latin. 

Chronicon  Monaatern,  vol.  i,  p.  26.— Wachenesfeld  (Watchfleld),  four  miles  southwest 
of  Famigdore,  granted  to  Abingdon  by  King  Ccsnulf,  A.D.  821. 

CaMiilaHum  Saxonicm/i.  vol.  ii,  p.  360.— Witena  Gemot  at  Welowe,  County  Hants,  grant 
by  King  ^Ethelstan  to  the  thegn  Aelfric,  of  land  at  Wceclesford,  or  Watchfleld,  County 
Berks.  2Ist  June  A.D.  931.     Document  in  Latin. 

SuHees  Soviet]/,  vol.  1.— Name  of  town  only.  (vol.  li,  p.  1.51)  Wacarfeld,  name  of  a  place, 
(p.  1.52)  Wackarfleld,  name  of  a  place  in  Staindrop  parish  or  Snottorton.  (Possibly  hints 
as  to  the  etymology  of  the  name.) 

Before  the  Conquest,  or  English  Worthies  in  the  Old  English  Period,  by  W.  H.  D.  Adams.— 
"In  1086,  was  completed  the  remarkable  survey  of  the  country  known  as  the  Domesday 
Book;  the  result  of  a  territorial  inquest  conducted  by  Henry  de  Ferrieres,  Walter 
Giffard,  Adam,  brother  of  Endes  the  Seneschal,  and  Remi,  Bishops  of  Lincoln.  It  shows 
how  many  acres  of  land  there  were  in  each  domain,  how  many  acres  were  sufficient  for 
the  maintenance  of  a  man  at  arms,  and  how  many  men  at  arms  there  were  in  each  prov- 
ince or  country  of  England:  what  was  the  gross  amount  derived  in  various  ways  from 
the  cities,  towns,  boroughs,  and  hamlets:  what  was  the  exact  property  of  each  earl, 
baron,  knight,  or  sergeant  at  arms,  what  land,  how  many  men  holding  flefs  on  that  land, 
how  many  Saxons,  how  much  cattle,  how  many  ploughs  each  one  possessed.  The  survey 
occupied  six  years."

Low  d-  Piilli/iffn  Dktionanj  of  Eii(iU><h  HMory. — Wakefield,  Peter  of,  was  a  hermit  cele- 
brated in  the  reign  of  King  Johii  for  the  number  and  success  of  his  prophecies.  In  1213, 
John,  who  had  paid  little  heed  eitfier  to  interdict  or  ex-communication,  was  terrified 
into  submission  to  the  Pope  by  hearing  that  Peter  had  predicted  that  on  the  next  Ascen- 
sion Day,  John  would  not  be  king.  Strangely  enough  the  prophesy  received  a  kind  of 
fulfillment  from  the  fact  that  before  the  day  mentioned  John  had  ceded  his  kingdom  to 
the  Pope.     (p.  1042.)

WORCESTER   MONASTERY. 

Henry  de  Wakefleld.—'''Poxie  Gregory  II,  bj-  his  bull  dated  on  the  '2d  of  the  ides  of  Sep- 
tember. 137.5,  constituted  Henry  de  Wakefield  or  Wakfield,  bishop.  He  was  consecrated  in 
the  bishop  of  Ely's  chapel  at  Hatfield  on  the  28th  of  October  following  (1375)  and  en- 
throned in  his  cathedral  March  30,  1376.  In  1377  he  became  high  treasurer  of  England.  In 
1380  he  finished  his  addition  of  two  arches  to  the  west  end  of  the  nave  of  his  cathedral 
with  a  stately  window,  and  in  1386  added  the  north  porch.  This  bishop  had  a  controversy 
with  his  prior,  John  Green,  respecting  the  uses  of  the  mitre,  ring,  gloves,  pastoral,  and 
other  Kpiscopal  ornaments.  Bishop  Wakefield  died  at  Blokley  March  11,  139.i.  He  was 
buried  near  the  stone  pulpit  at  the  west  end  of  the  nave  of  the  cathedral.  The  flat  stone 
which  marked  his  grave,  between  the  two  lowermost  arches  of  the  middle  isle,  is  now 
gone.  Walsingham  informs  us  that  the  monks  made  choice  of  John  Green,  their  prior,  as 
the  successor  to  Wakefield,  but  in  vain,  as  on  the  -ttb  of  the  nones  of  June.  Vi'db,  Tydeman 
de  Winchcomb  was  translated  hither  from  the  see  of  Walsingham  by  the  Pope's  provisory 
bull.  Walsington  says  he  was  the  king's  physician  and  a  Cistercian.''  "Wakefield  bore

BISHOPS  OF  WORCESTER. 

Henry  Wakefield,  (p.  193),  Archdeacon  of  Canterbury,  whom  Pope  Gregory  XI  put  into 
this  see  in  preference  to  Walter  Leigh. Prior.chosen  by  the  Prior  and  convent  of  Worcester, 
with  the  approbation  of  the  King.  Two  years  before  his  appointment  to  this  see.  he  had 
been  unsuccessful  in  his  interest  to  obtain  that  of  Ely;  and  his  receiving  this,  is  said  to  have 
been  in  consequence  of  that  failure  and  to  make  amends.  He  was  consecrated  Bishop  of 
Worcester.  October  28,  1375.  It  1377,  he  was  constituted  high  treasurer  of  England.  In  the 
year  1380  he  finished  the  addition  of  the  two  Saxon  arches  to  the  west  end  of  the  cathe- 
dral, and  in  the  year  1386,  the  great  porch  on  north  entrance  of  it.  He  died  at  Blockley, 
March  11.  1394-5,  and  lies  buried'between  the  two  lowermosc  pillars  at  the  west  end  of  the 
nave  of  this  cathedral  (p.  164.  No.  51  plan.)  In  the  center  of  the  two  lowermost  arches, 
in  the  great  middle  aisle,  was  a  flat  stone  over  the  grave  of  Bishop  Wakefield,  who  added 
those  arches  to  the  church.  This  stone  was  removed  when  the  present  pavement  was 
laid  down.  (p.  52-3.)  Light  was  wanting,  or  was  insufficient  to  dispel  the  gloom  that 
must  have  pervaded  the  extended  length  of  the  church  westward.  This  was  overcome  by 
raising  the  vaulting  of  the  aisles  internally.  Saxon  windows,  etc.  In  the  year  1380,  under 
the  auspices  of  Bishop  Wakefield,  these  ornamental  and  useful  reforms  were  undertaken 
and  accomplished,  the  ancient  arches  were  completely  attached  to  the  new  work  of 
Bishop  Blois  and  the  great  west  window  was  opened,  etc.  It  is  to  be  remembered,  of  the 
erecting  of  this  windosv,  that  it  is  always  stated  as  a  distinct  operation  from  all  the 
others,  in  the  accounts  of  the  improvements  of  the  church  by  Bishop  Wakefield,  and  in 
such  a  way  as  clearly  indicates  that  it  was  formed  in  a  part  already  built.  [History  of

the  University  of  Cambridge,  whence,  after  taking  his  degrees  in  arts,  he  went  abroad  to 
studj^  the  oriential  languages.  In  a  few  years  he  made  considerable  progress  in  the 
Greek,  Hebrew,  Chaldee,  and  Syriac,  and  taught  these  languages  at  Paris  and  in  Ger- 
many. In  1519  he  was  made  professor  at  Ijouvain:  after  holding  that  office  onlj' a  few 
months  he  returned  home  and  became  Chaplain  to  Dr.  Pace,  then  dean  of  St.  Paul's  who 
recommended  him  to  Henr}'  VIII.  as  an  able  linguist,  and  he  was  then  sent  to  Cambridge 
and  there  honored  with  the  degree  of  B.  D.  When  the  controversy  relating  to  Henry's 
divorce  commenced,  Wakefield  is  said  to  have  been  of  the  Queen's  party  and  thought  the 
divorce  unjustifiable:  but  he  was  afterwards  induced  to  be  of  the  King's  opinion  and 
wrote  a  work  in  favor  of  the  divorce.  In  1.530  the  King  sent  him  to  Oxford  and  made  him 
public  professor  of  Hebrew.  In  153i  he  was  made  a  canon  of  Wolsey's  College  and  incor- 
porated B.  D.  He  died  in  1537.  He  wrote  Oratio  de  Laudibus  et  Utilitate  Trium  Lingua-

Inscription  from  Gravesend  Churchyard  on  Mrs.  Charlotte  Wal:e  field: 

"Of  fair  descent,  of  manners  most  refined, 
Enlightened  genius  and  extensive  mind. 
Form'd  to  delight  and  ev'ry  heart  to  phase, 
She  spoke  witli  dignity  and  wrote  with  ease. 
Sweet  in  her  converse,  social  and  sincere. 
Placid  her  looks  as  her  conscience  clear 
Touched  with  a  spark  of  pure  celestial  fire, 
She  seemed  a  member  of  the  Angelic  choir. 
Of  all  the  powers  of  harmony  possest. 
Admiring  friends,  the  skilled  musician  blest. 
Generous  and  just,  benevolent  and  kind, 
In  suff'rings  patient,  and  in  death  resign'd, 
True  to  her  church,  and  constant  to  her  God, 
The  pious  christian's  course  she  firmly  trod. 
Of  all  her  sex  the  ornament  and  pride, 
She  lived  respected  and  lamented  died."

KEY   TO  TECHNICAL  TERMS  OF  WAKEFIELD  ARMORIAL  BEARINGS. 

Argent— Silver  or  white,  indicated  in  black  and  white,  by  blank  space. 

Armed— When  an  animal's  horns  or  hoofs  are  shown  it  is  said  to  be  armed,  also  when  it  is 

of  a  special  color,  as  all  beast's  azure  are  armed  gules  and  vice  versa. 
Azure — Blue,  indicated  in  black  and  white,  by  horizontal  parallel  lines. 
Barry— (Bars  diminutive  of  the  fess.)  when  the  field  is  divided  by  horizontal  lines  into 

four,  six,  eight,  ten,  or  twelve  equal  parts,  the  intermediate  spaces  being  filled  with 

alternate  colors  the  bearing,  is  called  Barry. 
Bull's  Heads— This  formidable  animal  in  his  wild  state  is  used  heraldically. 
Canton— Diminutive  of  the  "Quarter  '  which  covers  the  upper  "dexter  quarter"  of  the 

shield,  covering  two-thirds  of  its  area.    This,  like  the  quarter,  is  a  very  honorable 

bearing,  and  is  supposed  to  represent  the  banner  given  by  the  Sovereign  to  the 

Knight  banneret. 
Chief— Is  the  upper  part  or  head  of  the  shield,  covering  one-third  of  it  and  parted  off  by 

a  horizontal  line.    This  ordinary,  in  latter  times  especially,  is  one  of  honorable 

augmentation. 
Counter-Changed— Charges  (bearings)  are  said  to  be  counter-changed,  when  the  field  is 

of  two  metals  or  colors,  and  the  parts  of  the  charge  are  of  the  opposite  metal  or 

color. 
Couped — When  a  head  or  member  is  cut  off  it  is  said  to  be  couped. 

Cbest— A  bearing  worn,  not  upon  the  shield,  but  usually  above  it,  or  separately  as  an  or- 
nament for  plate,  liveries,  and  the  like.    It  is  a  relic  of  the  ancient  cognizance. 
Cross  Patonce — A  cross  with  expended  ends,  having  termination  in  threepoints  at  each 

end. 
Dancette— Meaning  tooth.    A  fess  dancette  has  only  three  teeth  in  the  whole  width  of 

the  shield. 
Displayed— When  a  bird  is  upright  with  his  breast  to  the  front  and  his  tail,  legs,  and 

wings  expanded  (spread  eagle)  it  is  said  to  be  displayed. 
Ducal  Coronet— The  coronet,  or  crown  of  the  Duke,  is  bordered  with  eight  strawberry 

leaves,  all  lined  with  ermine  and  enriched  with  jewels.    Coronets  are  classed  among 

the  honorable  bearings,  and  with  crowns  and  helmets,  are  among  the  most  prom- 
inent distinctions  of  rank. 
Eagles— Always  shown  "Spread  Eagles"  displayed  as  on  American  coins. 
Ermine— The  ermine  is  a  fur  of  great  dignity  and  is  said  to  be  an  emblem  of  purity.    It  is 

also  generally  used  in  the  robes  of  royalty  and  nobility. 
Fess— Is  a  strip  placed  horizontally  across  the  middle  of  the  field. 
Field— The  entire  surface  (unconcealed)  of  the  shield  or  escutcheon.

heraldic  representation. 


14  Wakefield  Armoury. 


FiiETTY— A  fret  is  a  mascle  interlaced  with  a  saltire.  When  the  field  is  covered  with 
blendlets  dexter  and  sinister  interlaced  at  equal  distances,  after  the  manner  of  the 
fret,  but  exceedins;  eight  pieces,  the  bearing  is  called  fretty. 

Garbs— Sheafs  of  wheat. 

GULBS— The  color,  red.    Represented  in  black  and  white  by  vertical  parallel  lines. 

INDENTBD— Notched  like  the  teeth  of  a  saw:  serrated:  as  an  indented  border  or  ordinary. 

Leopards— "The  early  heralds,  who  probably  were  not  zoologists,  seem  to  have  con- 
founded the  lion  with  the  leopard,  and  to  have  used  the  names  according  to  the  at- 
titude of  the  animal.  When  rampant  Arising  with  fore  paws  in  the  air  as  if  attacking) 
he  was  a  lion,  when  in  any  other  attitude  as  passant  (walking)  he  is  a  leopard.  He 
is  ofen  called  a  pard. 

Or— Yellow  or  golden  color,  represented  in  black  and  white  by  a  dotted  surface  arranged 
in  parallel  lines,  both  vertically  and  horizontallv. 

Ordinary— Or  ordinaries.  These  have  been  supposed  to  represent  the  clamps  or  fasten- 
ings of  the  shield,  converted  into  ornaments  by  painting  or  gilding.  They  may  be 
regarded  as  nine  in  number— the  chief,  the  pale,  the  fes.s,  the  chevron,  the  bend, 
the  cross,  the  saltire.  the  pile,  aud  the  quarter.  Wnen  charged  they  are  drawn 
somewhat  broader  than  when  blank,  and  each  has  one  or  more  diminutives.  All 
were  more  or  less  in  use  in  the  earliest  times  of  heraldry. 

Palbe— per  pale.  When  a  shield  is  bisected  by  a  vertical  line,  and  the  fields  comprised 
in  the  halves  differ,  it  is  said  to  be  partly  per  pale,  or  simply  per  pale. 

Proper— When  an  object  is  given  in  its  natural  color  it  is  said  to  be   'proper." 

Quarter— One  of  the  divisions  of  an  escutcheon  when  it  is  divided  into  four  portions  by  a 
horizontal  and  a  perpendicular  line  meeting  in  the  fess  point.  The  quarter  or 
franc-quartier  covers  the  upper  dexter  (the  right  hand  side  of  a  shield)  quarter  of 
the  shield.  When  the  bearings  of  several  families  are  marshalled  in  the  same  es- 
cutcheon or  shield,  in  compartments  formed  by  horizontal  and  vertical  lines  they 
are  said  to  be  quartered. 

Sable— The  color,  black,  represented  in  black  and  white  by  small  dotted  checks  or  hol- 
low squares,  arranged  in  regular  order  vertically  and  horizontally. 

Sans  Legs— Without  legs. 

Vert— Color,  green,  represented  in  black  and  white  by  fine  parallel  lines  slanting  down- 
ward from  left  to  right.  Purple  is  characterized  by  lines  slanting  in  the  opposite 
direction,  from  right  to  left. 

Water  Bouget— A  vessel  anciently  used  by  soldiers  for  carrying  water.  This  bearing 
has  military  significance. 

Wyvern— A  two  legged  dragon  with  the  body  passing  off  into  a  long  tail  barbed  at  the 
end  and  usually  nowed  or  knotted.    It  i,s"classed  among  the  chimerical  birds. 

HERALDRY. 

The  transition  from  the  ancient  to  the  modern  functions  of  the  herald  was  as  in- 
sensible as  that  from  ancient  to  modern  Heraldry:  and  nearly  collateral.  The  Nobility 
and  Knights  retained  heralds  to  proclaim  their  style,  etc.,  who  soon  became  their  authori- 
tative advisors  on  the  subject  of  armorial  distinctions,  which,  as  they  increased  in  influ- 
ential importance,  demanded  the  especial  attention  of  the  professional  class.  When 
private  individuals  granted  arms,  heraldic  advice  was  indispensable.  Hence  came  too 
the  distinction  of  Pursuivants,  or  Probationers  for  the  heraldic  ottlce,  a  distinction  which 
still  continues  to  obtain.  But  it  is  in  the  reign  of  Edward  in  that  we  find  the  first  positive 
evidence  of  their  regular  recognition  by  Government.  That  prince  created  two  kings  of 
arms.  Surroy  and  Norroy,  who  took  cognizance  of  heraldic  matters  to  the  South  and 
North  of  the  Trent,  respectively.  Richard  II  laid  the  first  foundation  of  a  college  of 
arms,  by  giving  the  Earl  Marshal  power  to  preside  in  the  Court  of  Chivalry,  and  to  sum- 
mon the  heralds  to  his  assistance  The  heralds  there  appeared  as  advocates,  having 
analogy  to  Barristers,  as  the  kings  of  arms  might  be  said  to  have  to  Serjeants  at  law,  and 
the  Pursuivants  to  law  students.  The  nature  of  the  causes  tried  in  this  court,  mostly  refer- 
ring to  armorial  bearings,  at  once  settled  and  enriched  the  svstem.  But  the  first  regular 
Collegiate  Heraldic  Chapter  was  held  at  the  siege  of  Roueri,  A.  D.  1420.  From  that  time 
heralds  became  a  corporate  body,  having  their  statutes  and  observances,  and  it  remained 
only  for  Richard  III  to  establish  them  in  a  permanent  abode  in  London,  and  to  give  their 
institution  the  seal  of  his  patronage  and  authority.  They  had  already  been  incorporated 
in  France  by  Charles  VI  A.  D.  1406. 

Heraldic  visitations  of  countries,  with  a  view  to  collect  information  with  respect  to 
genealogies  and  hereditary  coat-armour,  had  occasionally  taken  place  from  the  time  of 
Henry  IV.  But  in  1.528  a  regular  commission  was  granted  for  a  general  visitation  of  the 
whole  kingdom,  and  from  that  time  till  the  early  part  of  the  thirteenth  century  the 
practice  was  renewed  every  twenty  or  thirty  years.  This  circumstance  had  an  important 
influence  on  heraldry.  Everv  wealth}^  person  was  ashamed  to  have  his  genealogy  re- 
corded without  appendant  coat  armour;  and  those  symbols,  which  had  formerlv  been  the 
exclusive  guerdon  of  knightly  prowess,  were  now  at  the  purchase  of  merchandise  and 
trade.  Hence  were  introduced  a  number  of  devices  unconnected  with  the  science,  and  not 
always  strictly  harmonizing  with  its  spirit,  but  significent  of  the  origin  and  occupation  of 
their  wearers.  Yet  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  much  irregularitv  was  hereby  removed; 
although  the  rules  to  which  practice  was  ordinarily  recalled,  differed  in  principal  from 
those  of  purer  ages. 

Edward  VI  reinstated  the  heralds  in  an  establishment  on  the  site  of  that  which  thev 
at  present  occupy.  From  that  period,  as  might  have  been  expected,  heraldry  has  in 
England  become  more  settled  and  scientific:  authentic  treatises  have  illustrated, estab- 
lished, and  enriched  the  subject:  and  there  are  no  variations  in  the  system  worth  record- 
ing here.  England,  indeed,  may  justly  claim  the  honour  of  having  maintained  with  the 
greatest  effect  the  purity  and  signiflcancy  of  heraldrv.  The  control  which  the  College  of 
Arms  has  always  exercised  in  the  assignation  of  heraldic  bearings  has  prevented  rnany 
of  the  absurdities  which  disfigure  foreign  coats-of-arms,  where  sovereigns,  totally  ignor- 
ant of  the  principles  of  the  art,  and  at  least  virtually  absolute,  have  obtruded  not  only  in- 
consistent devices  on  their  distinguished  subjects,  but  contradictory  rules  on  the  science

The  Town  of  Boston. 


"Winthrop's  company  located  chiefly  within  the  space  comprised  between  what  are 
now  Milk.  Bromfleld.  Tremont.  and  Hanover  streets  and  the  water.  Pemberton  Hill  was 
also  a  favorite  locality,  as  we  shall  have  occasion  to  note.  The  North  End.  b}'  removals 
and  accessions  soon  became  also  settled:  that  portion  of  the  town  lying  north  of  Union 
street  being  thus  designated,  while  all  south  of  that  boundary  was  called  the  South  End." 
(P- 10.) 

'•For  a  hundred  years  Boston  must  be  considered  as  little  more  than  a  sea-shore 
village,  siraggling  up"  its  thicket-grown  hillsides."  (p.  2.)  "The  records  show  that  in 
April.  1633.  the  price  paid  for  the  whole  peninsula  of  Boston  was  £30,  assessed  upon  the 
inhabitants  of  the  town,  some  paying  6s  and  some  more,  according  to  their  circumstances 
and  conditions."  (p.  3.)  "The  area  of  original  Boston  has  been  variously  estimated.  By 
Shaw,  at  700  acres:  Dr.  Morse,  the  geographer,  placed  it  in  1800  at  7U0  acres,  admitting 
that  some  accounts  fix  it  as  high  as  1,000  acres,  while  Dr.  Shurtleff  says  less  than  1.000 
acres.  There  is  good  authority,  however,  for  computing  the  original  peninsula  at  not 
more  than  625  acres  of  firm  ground."  (p.  7)  "The  character  of  the  first  buildings  was 
extremely  rude.  They  were  of  wood  with  thatched  roofs,  and  chimneys  built  of  pieces 
of  wood  placed  crosswise,  the  interstices  and  outside  covered  with  clay."  (p.  9,  Drake's  Old 
LandnMrks  of  Boston.)

HANDWRITING  OF  JOHN  WINTHBOP. 


"The  first  volume  of  the  Town  Records  begins  September,  1634,  and  the  first  entries 
are  said  to  be  in  the  handwriting  of  Governor  Winihrop.  An  unknown  number  of  leaves 
have  been  torn  out  or  destroyed  and  as  the  first  business  of  the  town  was  the  allottment  of 
land  to  the  inhabitants,  the" loss  is  irreparable  and  has  proven  such  to  those  who  have 
had  occasion  to  trace  the  titles  of  property.  Several  later  volumes  of  the  records  are 
missing,  and  for  many  years,  while  William  Cooper  was  town  clerk,  no  record  was  made 
of  the  births  or  deaths."    (pp.  19-20.) 

Communication  between  Boston  and  the  surrounding  towns  was  at  first  wholly  by 
the  Neck.  The  people  of  Chelsea  thus  had  a  circuit  of  at  least  a  dozen  miles,  and  a  day's 
journev  before  them  to  go  to  town  and  return.  There  was  a  ferry  established  at  Charles- 
town  and  Winnisimmet  (Chelsea)  as  early  as  1635.  five  years  after  the  settlement  of  Bos- 
ton. We  find  by  the  records  that  Thomas  Marshall  "w"as  chosen  by  generall  consent  for 
ye  keeping  of  a  Ferry  from  ye  M3'lne  Point  vnto  Charlestown  and  Wynneseemitt.  for  a 
single  person  sixpence,  and  for  two,  sixpence :  and  for  everyone  above  ye  number  of 
of  two.  twopence  apiece."  Ships'  boats  were  first  used,  then  scows,  and  this  continued  to 
be  the  onlj^  means  of  transit  until  1786.  Four  years  previous  to  this  Marquis  Chastellux 
states  that  he  was  one  hour  making  the  voyage  from  Winnisimmet  in  a  scow  filled  with 
cattle,  sheep,  etc..  seven  tacks  were  required  to  bring  them  safely  to  land. — (p.  24,  Drake's 
Old  Landmarks  of  Boston.)

CHAPTER   I. 


JOHN  WAKEFIELD,  OF  BOSTON,   AND    HIS  POSTERITY. 

FIRST  GENERATION. 

] .  John  Wakefield,  the  progenitor  of  the  Massachussetts  family  of 
Wakefield,  was  born  in  England  in  the  year  1614-15.  He,  perhaps,  was  a  native 
of  Gravesend,  County  of  Kent,  England,  as  Thomas,  probably  his  brother, 
came  from  there,  and  we  have  a  record  of  an  inscription  from  the  Graves- 
end  churchyard,  of  Mrs.  Charlotte  Wakefield,  showing  Gravesend  to  have 
been  an  ancient  seat  of  the  family.  (See  Webb's  Select  Collection  of  J^ijitcqjlis, 
vol.  i,  London,  1775.)  Gravesend  is  a  river  port,  and  boundary  of  the  port 
of  London. 

The  tradition  of  the  descendants  of  John  Wakefield,  of  Boston,  regard- 
ing the  emigration  of  their  progenitor,  does  not  differ  materially  from  the 
conventional  story,  of  the  emigration  and  association  of  three  brothers.  In 
this  case  the  tradition  is  only  partially  corroborated  by  official  records. 
The  meagre  lists  of  early  emigrants  from  England,  preserve  to  us  the  emi- 
gration record  of  but  one  of  the  three  Wakefields,  supposed  to  be  brothers; 
his  name,  Thomas,  is  given  among  the  passengers  transported  to  Virginia, 
embarked  in  the  "America,"  William  Barker,  Master,  23  June,  1635.  A  cer- 
tificate from  the  minister  of  the  town  of  Gravesend,  of  conformity  to  the 
order  and  discipline  of  the  church  of  England,  accompanies  it.  (See  Hot- 
ten's  original  list  of  emigrants  to  America.) 

The  history  of  the  emigration  of  the  brothers  John  and  Richard,  as 
well  as  the  place  bf  their  residence  in  the  period  intervening  the  space 
of  time  during  the  absence  of  record,  is  left  to  our  conjecture,  but  in  all 
probability  John  and  Richard  came  over  either  prior  to  the  one  above 
recorded,  or  followed  in  another  ship  soon  after.  The  colonial  records  of 
the  southern  coast  states  are  silent  as  to  how  the  three  young  men  spent 
the  first  score  of  years  in  their  new  southern  home;  however,  John  removed 
to  Martha's  Vineyard,  Mass.,  sometime  prior  to  1647,  as  we  find  records  of 
his  residence  there  in  that  year;  he  acting  as  witness  to  an  instrument  by 
Thomas  Paine,  son  of  Thomas  Paine,  London,  merchant,  deceased,  appoint- 
ing his  step-father,  Thomas  Mayhew,  merchant,  and  Jane,  his  mother,  as 
guardians  and  tutors.  Dated  October  16,  1647;  recorded  October  17,  1647. 
It  is  evident  that  while  a  resident  of  Martha's  Vineyard,  John  Wakefield 
had  land  granted  him  on  terms  which  he  failed  to  fulfill,  as  on  November 
11,  1652,  it  was  ordered  by  the  town  that  certain  lands  be  granted  to 
Nicholas  Butler  under  the  following  conditions: 

■■This  land  he  is  to  build  upon  and  live  on  tour  years:  at  the  end  of  which  time  it  is  his 
proper  inheritance,  but  if  he  leave  it  before,  it  falls  into  the  town  hands  again,  and  he  is 
only  to  make  what  he  can  of  his  labor.  'He  hath  now  the  lot  next  that  first  given  John 
Wakefield.'  He  hath  also  a  property  of  commonage  upon  the  sime  terms.  'This  is  a 
true  record  of  ye  particular  parcels  of  land  of  Mr.  Nicholas  Butler  which  lands  are  upon 
Martha's  Vineyard,  particularly  as  foUoweth:  'More,  four  acres  of  meadow,  two  given  to> 
my  house  lot.  and  two  I  bought  of  John  Jonson.  lying  on  ye  north  end  of  Chapequideck, 
John  Wakefield  now  in  possession,  by  his  heirs  joining"  to  mine  is  more  or  less,  etc' 
(Chabbaquiddick  is  a  small  island  forming  one  side  of  Edgartown  harbor.)  As  we  have 
record  that  John  Wakefield  was  in  Boston  the  year  before  (1651)  it  is  probable  that  he  , 
forfeited  the  title  to  his  grant  at  Martha's  Vineyard,  which  would  account  for  its  being 
regranted.  By  a  vote  of  the  town  (Edgartown)  October  -32,  1660,  the  town  was  divided  in 
four  parts  anJ  each  part  into  thirty-seven  'sheares,'  of  which  there  are  thirty-three  and 
one-half  now  appropriated.  ■*  *  *  Thomas  Paine,  or  heirs,  given  bv  ye  town,  Thomas 
Paine,  or  heirs,  "which  was  Wakefield's.'  "  (See  Suffolk  Deeds  Libre  f-86,  also  Edgartown, 
Mass.,  records  pp.  120-147-159.) 

It  appears  from  the  following  records  that  John  Wakefield  retained  his 
relations  with  his  brothers  in  Maryland,  after  his  removal,  and  conducted

his  own  business  interests  there  by  occasional  trips.  We  find  the  following- 
records  among  the  Archives  of  Maryland,  Judicial  and  Testamentary  busi- 
ness of  the  Provincial  Court  1649-50-57,  p.  368-9,  1654  (April  probably): 

"John  Wakefield  appointeth  Robert  Richins  his  attorney  in  the  cause  wherein  he  is 
arrested  at  the  suit  of  Hubart  Paty  to  answer  at  this  court,  {p.  369.)  In  the  case,  Hubart 
Paty,  plaintiff,  vs.  John  Wakefield,  defendant,  the  plaintiff  is  non-suited  for  want  of  pros- 
ecution, and  is  ordered  to  pay  30  pounds

Office  for  America  and  the  West  Indies,  No.  556  B.  D.  p.  36  in  Scharjfs  History 
of  Maryland,  vol.  i,  p.  331.) 


First  Generation.  19 


It  will  be  seen  that  at  the  date  of  the  first  record,  above  given,  John 
was  absent  (probably  in  Boston),  but  iinally  he  found  it  necessary  to  go  to 
the  seat  of  trouble  and  defeat  the  party  who  sought  to  take  advantage  of 
his  absence. 

The  records  of  the  avocation  of  John,  as  a  boatman  or  a  shipwright, 
and  his  possession  of  a  half  interest  in  "one  old  boat"  and  "one  new  boat," 
in  the  records  of  the  administration  of  his  estate,  tend  strongly  to  confirm 
the  theory  of  his  commercial  relations  with  Thomas  and  Richard  Wakefield, 
of  Maryland,  the  boats  being  used  for  intercourse  up  and  down  the  coast. 
See,  also,  sketch  of  John's  son  Samuel,  who  on  his  removal  to  Salem,  after 
his  father's  death,  engaged  also  in  coast  trading,  and  furthermore  with 
nearly  the  same  locality,  in  Maryland. 

This  coast  trading  between  John,  of  Boston,  and  Thomas  and  Richard, 
of  Maryland,  was  undoubtedly  also  the  original  occupation  that  caused 
John's  son  John,  and  several  of  his  grandsons  to  become  mariners.  Note, 
also,  Obadiah's  connection  with  the  Scriven  family  in  Virginia.  He  must 
have  taken  up  his  residence  in  Boston  prior  to  1651,  as  on  that  date  he  wit- 
nessed a  deed  on  July  14:  "Even  Thomas,  inn-holder,  to  James  Bill,  of  Pul- 
lin  Point,  planter."  (Probably  father  of  Joseph  Bill,  who  married  his,  John 
Wakefield's,  granddaughter.  Deliverance.)  {Suffolk  Deeds,  book  1,  folio  278.) 
Upon  his  arrival  in  Boston,  John  Wakefield  purchased  a  tract  of  land  on 
the  south  side  of  Middle  (now  Hanover)  street,  extending  from  the  corner 
of  what  is  now  Prince  street,  to  within  ninetj^  feet  of  the  street  now  named 
Richmond,  and  to  rear  from  Middle  street  184^-  feet,  reaching  nearly  to 
North  Square  and  North  street.  Through  the  center  of  this,  nearly  at 
right  angles  with  Middle  street,  he  opened  a  narrow  lane  or  alley,  making 
the  entire  estate  accessible  from  Middle  street.  For  more  than  a  century 
it  was  generally  known  by  Bostonians,  as  "Wakefield's  Alley;"  the  following 
being  an  example  of  allusions  to  it  as  a  land-mark:  "Liberty  is  granted  to 
John  Carey  &  Co.  to  take  up  pavement  in  Middle  street,  near  Wakefield's 
Alley,  to  repair  their  well,  to  replace  the  same,  etc.,  dated  August  6,  1724." 
(p.  129.)  (Selectman's  Proceedings,  Becord  Comm.,  vol.  xiii. )  In  colonial 
days,  when  this  was  the  business  and  social  center,  it  contained  the  homes 
of  most  of  the  prominent  and  historic  personages  of  the  town;  far  ditTerent 
from  its  present  changed  occupations  as  the  following  quotation  well  ex- 
presses it. 

"There  had,  indeed,  been  a  revolution  in  politics,  commerce,  and  social  life;  old 
Boston  was  never  to  be  what  it  had  been,  though  the  seeds  sown  through  the  years  that 
had  elapsed  since  the  flrst  step  was  taken  by  Winthrop  and  his  followers  in  England  were 
to  bear  much  fruit,  and  it  remains  for  us  to  ask  what  that  fruit  was.  The  war  had  changed 
everything;  not  only  were  the  most  forward  people  '-new,''  but  the  very  streets  themselves 
began  to  change  and  those  regions  that  before  the  war  had  been  frequented  by  the  fash- 
ion and  wealth  ot  the  day,  were  by  degrees  deserted,  and  the  move  toward  the  south 
and  west  ends  began.  The  north  end,  especially,  lost  by  degrees  its  precedence,  and  in 
process  of  time  was  almost  completely  abandoned  by  those  families  that  had  given  it  its 
character."     (Oilman's  Story  of  Boston,  p.  397.) 

Among  his  neighbors  were  Nicholas  Upshall,  proprietor  of  the  Red  Lion 
Inn  and  the  wharf  of  the  same  name,  and  who  formerly  owned  all  the  prop- 
erty on  the  northeast  side  of  Richmond  street,  from  Hanover  street  to  the 
water;  (the  Red  Lion  Inn  was  located  on  the  northeast  corner  of  North 
and  Richmond  streets,  almost  directly  in  tht,  rear  of  John  Wakefield's;)  Dr. 
Snow,  the  historian  of  Boston,  the  parents  of  Paul  Revere,  Master  Harris, 
of  the  North  Grammar  School,  four  generations  of  Mathers:  Increase, 
Samuel,  Cotton,  and  Samuel  son  of  Cotton,  pastors  of  the  Old  North 
Church,  which  stood  on  the  corner  of  Prince  and  North  streets,  on  North 
Square  (also  called  Clark's  Square),  Commodore  Dawes  and  many  others 
familiar  to  historians.  John  Wakefield  was  a  thrifty,  and  for  his  time  a 
fairly  prosperous  man,  but  his  career  was  not  free  from  very  discouraging 
experiences  as  the  following  records  prove: 

"On  March  9,  166i,  there  was  dreadful  thunder  and  lightning  in  the  night  which 
smote  ye  house  of  one  Wakefield  in  Boston,  tore  two  great  rafters  of  ye  house  and  ve  gait 
corner  post  of  ye  top,  from  the  top  to  bottom  and  sent  off  ye  boards  at  ye  end,  yet  there 
were  three  men  l3^ing  in  ye  chamber,  one  lay  with  his  head  near  ye  said  post,  yet  they  had 
no  hurt,  only  they  smelt  a  great  stink  of  brimstone."  (Rev.  S.  Danforth's  Records,  Rox- 
bury,  Mass.) 


20 


Posterity  of  John  Wakefield  op  Boston. 


During  the  height  of  the  persecutions  of  the  Quakers,  we  find  our  only 
record  of  an  infraction  of  the  colonial  laws;  he  was  then  a  resident  and 
property  owner  of  Boston,  and  a  near  neighbor  of  Nicholas  Upshall,  the 
keeper  of  the  Red  Lion  Inn,  who  was  persecuted  and  banished  for  his 
humanity  in  behalf  of  the  barbarously  persecuted  Quakers.  "John  Wake- 
field is  fined  20  s.  for  entertaining contrary  to  the  town  order, 

March  30,  1659."     {Boston  Becords,  1634-1660,  p.  152.) 

■■The  bearing  of  the  townspeople  in  public  was  grave  and  austere.  How  could  it  be 
otherwise  under  the  operation  of  such  ordinances  as  the  following:  -No  strangers  were 
permitted  to  live  within  the  town  without  giving  bonds  to  save  the  town  harmless  from  all 
damage  and  charge  for  entertaining  the'm.'  ■For  galloping  through  the  streets,  except 
upon  cla3's  of  military  exercise  or  any  extraordinary  case  require."  was  two  shillings  tine. 
Football  was  prohibited  in  the  streets.  'No  person  shall  take  any  tobacco  publiclyTunder 
penalt}'  of  one  shilling.'  'For  entertaining  foreignors.'  or  receiving  ■inmates,  servants,  or 
journeymen  coming  for  help  in  physic  or  surgery,  without  leave  of  the  selectmen,'  was 
twenty  shillings  fine  a  week."     (p.  il-12.     Old  Landmarks  of  Boston.) 

At  this  time  the  records  abound  in  fines  for  friendly  acts  to  Quakers' 
the  above  record  however,  is  directly  preceded  by  fines  imposed  on  others 
for  "entertainment  of  strangers"  which  was  also  contrary  to  early  Boston 
laws,  as  seen  by  above  record. 

The  following  is  doubtless  the  story  of  his  death: 

"A  sad  accident  happened  at  Boston  to  one  Wakefield,  a  boatman,  who  helping  ye 
ropemaker  about  a  cable,  had  his  head  split  open  and  his  brains  beaten  out,  dated  July 
19,  1667.'     (Rev.  S.  Danforth's  Records,  p.  166.) 

His  memorial  in  the  Granary  Burying  Ground  is  mentioned  as  follows; 

"A  short  distance  west  of  the  Franklin  tomb  (Benjamin,  uncle  of  the  patriot)  now 
stands  a  gravestone  that  bears  the  following  inscription,  the  oldest  in  the  yard:  *    *    *    *

It  follows,  of  course,  that  the  burials  must  have  been  infrequent,  or  else  the  graves 
were  not  marked  with  gravestones,  for  the  burial-yard  was  laid  out  certainly  seven 
years  previous  to  the  date  of  Mr.  Wakefield's  decease."  (Shurtleff's  ToiMgranhical  and  His- 
torical Description  of  Boston,  p.  219.) 

He  died  intestate;  his  wife,  Ann,  was  appointed  administratrix,  and 
gave  bond,  dated  July  18,  1667,  in  the  sum  of  £222-12.  Inventory  of  estate 
verified  by  Ann,  "his  relict."  of  same  date  and  same  amount.  (Suffolk  Pro- 
bate Records.)  The  inventory  of  his  estate  gives  sundry  items  of  wearing 
apparel,  household  goods,  half-interest  in  an  old  boat,  half-interest  in  a  new 
boat,  and  "An  house  and  land  that  she  (the  widow)  now  dwells  in,  £150,

tombstone,  as  follows:

iVo)'e.--Bridgeman  also  quotes  the  inscription  of  Jolin  Wakefield,  but  the  name  is 
given  as  "Wareheld,"  probably  a  typographical  error  of  the  r  for  the  k.  According  to

husband  of  the  widow  Ann  Wakefield,  we  find  very  meaner  account,  but  such 
as  it  is,  it  is  creditable,  and  commemorates  him  as  a  practical  humanitarian, 
generously  acting  in  behalf  of  those  most  persecuted  by  the  oppressive 
colonial  laws,  especially  those  which  John  Wakefield  felt  the  rigors  of. 

"I,  John  Child,  tailor,  bind  myself  in  the  sum  of  £40,  that  Samuel  Worden  shall  not

SECOND  GENERATION. 


3.  Elizabeth^  Wakefield  (John^),  daughter  of  John  and  Ann  Wake- 
field, of  Boston:  born  about  1638;  married  August  20,  1660,  to  Joseph  (or  Jas- 
per) Frost,  of  Boston,  by  Gov.  John  Endicott. 

DESCENDENTS. 

1.  Jasper  Frost,  born  February  5,  1664,  in  Boston. 

2.  Elizabeth  Frost,  born  February  34,  1665,  in  Boston. 

^Vote— Perhaps  he  was  the  Joseph  Frost  of  Cambridge  and  Charlestown,  who  was 
born  January  11,  1639,  in  Cambridge,  and  removed  to  Charlestown  where  he  was  admitted 
to  church  March  27,  1670,  and  married  (perhaps  secondlv)  at  Charlestown,  May  22,  1666,  to 
Hannah  Miller,  daughter  of  Rev.  John  Miller,  of  Roxbury,  Mass.,  and  by  her  had  nine 
children.  He  was  a  constable  and  removed  to  Billirica,  Mass  ,  about  1690,  where  he  died 
December  33.  1693,  aged  .53  years.  He  was  a  son  of  Elder  Edmund  Frost,  who  was  a  son  of 
Elder  John  Frost,  of  Ipswich,  England,  who  came  in  the  ship  "Great  Hope"  in  1635.  He 
settled  at  Cambridge  and  died  there  July  13,  1673.  Wife  was  Thomasine.  He  was  made 
freeman  at  Cambridge  March  3,  1636.     (Savage's  (ienealoqiral  Dictionary.) 

iVo/e.— Savage  also  gives  among  the  Frost  records  two  marriages  with  Elizabeth, 
daughter  of  John  Wakefield,  of  Boston,  both  of  same  date,  which  was  August  30,  1660:  in 
one  case  he  gives  the  husband  as  Jasper  Frost  and  in  the  other  as  Joseph  Frost.  The 
reader  can  draw  his  own  conclusion. 

3.  JOHN^  Wakefield  (John^),  son  of  John  and  Ann  Wakefield,  probably 
born  in  Maryland  or  Edgartown,  Massachusetts,  about  1640.  He  was 
a  shipwright.  Removed  to  Boston  with  his  parents  prior  to  1651,  and  after 
marriage  to  wife  Deliverance,  about  1663,  he  built  himself  a  homestead  on 
his  father's  estate  on  Middle  (now  Hanover)  street,  extending  his  possessions 
by  inheritance  at  his  father's  death.  He  lived  and  died  on  his  homestead 
which  continued  to  be  occupied  by  his  wife  Deliverance,  until  her  death  in 
1691.  March  15,  1674-5,  John  Wakefield  was  chosen  "Hogg  Reeves,"  of  Bos- 
ton, at  a  public  meeting.  "November  27,  1676,  a  fire  broke  out  in  Boston, 
about  five  o'clock  in  the  morning,  at  one  Wakefield's  house,  by  the  Red  Lion, 
by  a  cand'e  carelessly  set.  which  so  prevailed  that  it  burnt  down  about  forty- 
five  dwelling  houses,  the  North  Meeting  House,  and  several  warehouses;  the 
wind  was  south-east  when  it  began  and  blew  hard;  soon  after,  it  veered 
south,  and  brought  so  much  rain  as  much  prevented  further  mischief,  with- 
out which  all  that  end  of  the  town  had  probably  been  laid  in  ashes,  and 
Charlestown  also  endangered,  by  the  flakes  of  fire  which  were  carried  over 
the  river."  (Originally  "from  an  interleaved  almanack."  copied  by  Hutch- 
inson's History,  vol.  1,  p.  349,  and  included  in  Massachusetts  Historical  Collections, 
vol.  v.  5th  series.)     Hubbard,  in  his  history  of  New  England,  says  the  fire 


24  Posterity  of  John  Wakefield  of  Boston. 

occurred  "through  the  carelessness  of  a  boy  called  up  early  to  work,  very 
early  in  the  morning",  who  falling  asleep,  as  was  said,  the  candle  set  the 
house  on  lire."  The  district  burned  embraced  the  space  between  Rich- 
mond, Hanover,  and  Clark  streets,  to  the  water's  side.  Notwithstanding 
the  hardship  entailed  by  this  fire  it  doubtless  proved  a  fortunate  accident 
as  "it  led  directly  to  straightening  the  streets,  and  all  persons  were 
enjoined  against  building  upon  the  burnt  district  until  the  Selectmen  had 
staked  out  the  streets  anew  and  given  permission.  Those  who  recollect  the 
district  burned  at  the  time,  can  but  wonder  how  the  streets  could  have  been 
more  crooked  than  they  were  even  within  the  second  half  of  the  present 
century."  (Gilman's  IStory  of  Boston,  p.  479.)  January  27,  l"i78,  he  was  se- 
lected as  assistant  to  manage  a  fire-engine,  "lately  come  from  England." 
March  16,  1685,  he  is  recorded  as  a  subscriber  for  "ye  Alms  House."  May  11, 
1685,  he  was  chosen  Tythingman,  of  Boston,  and  was  presented  to  the  Gen- 
eral Court.  The  14th  of  the  same  month,  he  is  recorded  as  of  Captain  Ter- 
rill's  company.  (The  Ancient  and  Honorable  Artillery  Companj-.)  In  1687, 
he  is  recorded  on  the  tax  lists  as  a  resident  of  No.  2  precinct;  of  his  posses- 
sions listed  are  "3  housing,  mills,  tax  35s.,  7c?."  Two  heads  (poll  tax)  valua- 
tion at  20cZ.  per  head.  16  years  and  upwards.  In  1691,  he  appears  as  taxed 
"country  rate."  He.  like  his  father,  is  not  on  record  as  either  a  church  mem- 
ber or  a  freeman  of  the  colony.  However,  the  births  of  his  children  were 
recorded  on  the  register  of  the  First  Church,  perhaps  by  his  wife  Deliver- 
ance. He  died  March.  1703,  and  his  will,  dated  October  18.  1698,  was  pre- 
sented by  his  widow  and  proved  March  14.  1703-4.  By  said  will  he  gives  "his 
soul  to  God  and  bis  body  to  the  earth,"  and  oirects  the  payment  of  his  debts, 
and  disposal  of  "such  worldly  estate  ye  Lord  hath  lent  me." 

"I  doe  berebygive  and  bequeath  unto  mj' beloved  wife  Deliverance  Waliefield  (here 
follows  itemized  list  of  property,  real  and  personal)  with  full  power  to  dispose  thereof  at 
or  before  her  death,  by  deed.  will,  or  otherwise,  to  and  amons;  my  children,  or  such  of 
them  as  shall  then  be  livina;,  as  to  her  shall  seem  most  meet.  *  *  *  I  do  hereby  consti-

No  monumental  inscription  has  yet  been  brought  to  light  to  furnish  us 
with  the  exact  birth  and  death  records  of  .John  Wakefield,  but  the  follow- 
ing quotation  from  vol.  x  of  the  'N^w  England  Hisforical  and  Qenealogical  Reg- 
ister may  be  of  interest  as  recording  the  excavation  of  the  same: 

"When  the  iron  fountain  was  placed  on  the  common,  Boston,  opposite  the  Park 
Street  Church,  the  laborers  reached  the  site  of  former  graves  of  the  Granary  burying 
ground  and  exhumed  several  grave-stones  and  other  relics  of  antiquity,  two  of  the-e 
stones  were  saved  from  the  hands  of  the  workmen  and  one  bearing  the  name  Jonathan 
or  John  Wakefield." 

It  is  not  surprising  that  we  do  not  derive  more  from  Boston  graveyards 
when  we  learn  of  their  crowded  state  in  early  times. 

iVo^e.— Granary  burial  ground  is  notable  for  the  honored  ashes  it  contains.  It 
dates  back  to  1660,  "and  was  first  called  the  "South  Burying  Ground:"  the  subsequent 
name  of  "Granarj^"  was  from  the  town  granary,  which  stood  within  the  enclosure.  It  is 
necessary  to  say  here  that  the  Common  originally  extended  in  this  direction  to  the  Tre- 
mont  House,  and  the  cemetery  is  formed  from  itsancient  territor}'.  The  eastern  margin 
reached  to  Mason  street,  and  Tremont  street  therefore  runs  through  the  Common,  as  it 
originally  was.  After  the  creation  of  the  Common  burving  ground,  the  Granary  was 
sometimes  styled  the  ■•Middle"  ground.  By  the  year  1737  both  this  and  Kin.g's  Chapel 
ground  became  so  filled  with  the  dead  that  the  grave-diggers  were  obliged  to  Ijury  them 
four  deep.  In  this  j-ear  the  brick  wall  and  tomlw  were  erected  on  the  front  of  theold.  or 
Chapel,  burying  place.  The  Granary'  ground  was  enlarged  in  1716-17  by  taking  in  part  of 
the  highway  on  the  easterly  side,  but'in  about  twenty  "years  it  becam'e  overcrowded,  as 
we  have  seen,  and  the  town  began  to  cast  about  for  a  new  location.  It  was  not  until  after 
the  date  last  mentioned  that  any  tombs  were  erected  here. — (Old  Landmarks  of  Boston. 
pp.  296,  297-399.) 

After  the  death  of  John  Wakefield  we  have  the  following  records  of  his 
widow  who,  it  appears,  never  remarried: 

Tax  lists,  Boston.  June  27,  1707,  Mrs.  Deliverance  Wakefield,  rents  £8.

for  liberty  to  repair  her  cellar  wall  by  adding-  fourteen  inches  on  the  street; 
disallowed.  {Selectmen'' s  Records.)  The  widow  died  in  January,  17]()-7.  Her 
son,  John,  was  appointed  administrator  and  made  oath  that  the  inventory 
was  correct  before  Samuel  Sewall,  Boston,  Judge  of  Probate.  February  13, 
1716-17.  Her  son,  John  Wakefield,  gave  bond  in  the  sum  of  £600,  November 
19,  1716-17,  to  truly  administer  the  said  estate.  Thomas  Walker,  brick- 
burner,  and  Thomas  Walker,  jr.,  brickburner,  both  of  Boston,  signed  bond 
with  him. 

The  following  appears  to  be  the  deed,  by  which  the  greater  part  of  the 
original  Boston  estate  went  outside  of  the  family: 

December  18,  1718.  John  and  Deliverance  Wakefield  et  al  to  Thomas  Waite,  Samuel 
Wakefield,  and  son.s  of  Joseph  Bill,  and  Deliverance  Wakefield  to  Thomas  Waite,  house

4.  Obadiah-  Wakefield  {John'^),  second  son  and  third  child  of  John  and 
Ann  Wakefield;  probibly  born  in  Maryland  or  Edgartown,  about  1642. 
He  removed  to  Boston  with  his  parents  not  long  prior  to  16.")],  and  resided 
with  them  until  he  married  and  built  his  own  dwelling  on  his  father's 
estate.  The  earliest  record  of  him,  we  find  dated  May  20,  1666-7,  when  at 
the  May  session  of  the  General  Court,  he  signed  with  the  handicraftsmen 
of  Boston,  to  the  number  of  129,  a  petition  for  protection  to  their  several 
callings  "'against  the  intrusion  of  strangers,  especially  of  such  as  were  not 
desirably  qualified."  (Drake's  History  of  Boston.)  The  Boston  tax  list  for 
1674.  rates  him  as  follows:  Three  shillings,  two  shillings,  house.  {Record 
Com.  Reports,  vol  i,  p.  36-8.)  We  have  two  separate  records  of  his  admis- 
sion as  freeman,  first  on  joining  the  Second  (Old  North)  Church,  June  16, 
1682,  and  again  on  joining  the  First  Church,  February  7, 1682-3.  Savage  {Gen- 
ealogical Dictionary)  probably  correctly  explains  it  thus,  he  "'joined  Mather's 
Church  in  June  and  became  Freeman  the  February  following."  On  Febru- 
ary 11,  1683,  he  became  bondsman  for  Henry  Pease,  jr.,  as  administrator 
for  Henry  Pease,  sr.,  deceased.  The  town  tax-list  for  1685  rated  him:  "two 
heads,  countrj^  rate."  March  16,  he  subscribed  for  ye  Arms  House.  On 
March  5-14, 1686,  he  was  chosen  ty thingman  from  Captain  Terrill's  Company 
by  the  selectmen  of  Boston.  The  tax-list  for  1687,  rates  him:  "One  head, 
5  housin,  mills,  tax  2.s.  4(7.  No.  2  precinct."  At  a  public  meeting  March 
11.  1694-5,  he  was  chosen  tythingman  for  No.  2  precinct.  And  again  to  same 
office  on  March  14,  1698.  He  was  by  trade  a  "joiner."  He  is  listed  among 
the  inhabitants  of  Boston  for  1695.  March  14,  1698,  at  a  public  meeting  in 
Bosto  1  he  was  chosen  constable. 

It  appears  that  Obadiah  built  for  himself  a  new  dwelling  in  1705,  as  on 
the  3)th  of  July  of  that  year  "being  about  to  dig  a  well  on  his  land,  on  the 
westerly  corner  of  his  new  house  butting  on  the  broad  street  leading  from 
the  xMili  Bridge  towards  Winissninnett  Ferry,  at  the  north  end  of  Boston, 
and  finding  himself  straightened  for  room,"  he  petitioned  the  Selectmen  to 
dig  about  two  feet  into  the  street  or  highway  for  enlargement  of  this  well,

on  condition  that  he  "will  cover  and  pave  over  and  so  maintain  and  secure 
that  part  which  he  digs  in  the  street  and  will  place  and  maintain  a  pump 
in  said  well  wholly  within  his  own  lot."     {Boston,  Selectmen's  Records.) 

On  April  17,  1713,  he  sold  to  Mary  Pearse  of  his  land  a  ninteen  foot 
frontage  on  Middle  (Hanover)  street,  with  a  house  on  it  for  £170.  On  .June 
.30.  1714,  he  and  wife,  Elizabeth,  deeded  to  their  sister-in-law,  Deliverance 
Wakefield,  for  £140  a  plat  of  land  immediately  in  rear  of  that  sold  to  Mary 
Pearse  and  on  the  east  side  of  Wakefield's  Alley. 


Obadiah  Wakefield  married  firstly,  Susanna ,  who  died  September  21, 

1709,  aged  fifty-four  years.  He  married  secondly,  May  26,  1713,  Elizabeth 
Willis,  by  Dr.  Cotton  Mather,  (daughter  of  Experience  and  Elizabeth 
Willis,  born  December  8,  1677.  (Savage.)  Prior  to  this  marriage,  March  2, 
1713,  he  deeded  to  .John  Barnard,  a  neighbor,  in  trust,  his  homestead  estate, 
as  a  marriage  settlement  on  his  affianced  bride,  recorded  December  8,  1716. 
He  gave  a  mortgage  on  this  property  to  his  brothers  John  and  Samuel, 
reserving  residence  for  Elizabeth:  acknowledged  December  14,  1716:  re- 
corded June  4,  1717.  September  17,  1718,  on  the  death  of  his  step-father, 
John  Child,  Obadiah  was  appointed  administrator  of  his  estate;  he  and  his 
daughter,  Anne,  were  sole  heirs  of  this  estate. 

October  — .  1719,  Obadiah  Wakefield  mortgaged  his  dwelling  house,  gar- 
den, etc.,  on  Middle  street  to  Samuel  Wentworth,  his  wife,  Elizabeth,  join- 
ing to  release  dower.     {Suffolk  Deeds,  libre  34,  folio  94.) 

Obadiah  Wakefield  died  January,  1732-33.  His  will  of  date  December  9, 
1724,  appointed  his  son,  John,  executor,  or  if  he  were  at  sea  or  deceased, 
his  (John's)  wife,  Sarah,  to  be  executrix.  "John  is  to  make  satisfaction  to 
my  daughter,  Anne  Johnson,  of  all  that  is  between  her  and  I,  the  remainder 
to  be  equally  divided  between  all  my  children,  my  wife,  Elizabeth,  to  have 
living  in  his  (John's)  house  for  life."  John  being  at  sea,  his  wife,  Sarah 
(Russell),  probated  the  will  January  30,  1732,  bond  filed  (perhaps  by  John), 
April  26,  1743,  signed  by  Thomas  Lea,  .John  Adams,  and  Edward  Marion, 
appraisers.

Second  Generation.  27 

5.  Samuel*  Wakefield  {John'^),  the  youngest  of  the  family  of  John 
and  Ann  Wakefield,  probably  lived  at  home  with  his  parents,  Maryland, 
Edgartown,  and  Boston,  until  he  attained  maturity.  He  was  doubtless  born 
in  one  of  the  three  places,  probably  about  1644  or  1645.  On  the  2d  of 
June,  1675,  he  was  married  in  Salem  to  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Mathew 
Dove,  of  Salem,  who  was  baptized  there  September  10,  1654.  In  1676  he  was 
undoubtedly  a  resident  of  Boston,  being  on  record  as  a  member  of  the 
Ancient  an  i  Honorable  Artillery  Company,  of  Boston,  at  that  time.  Prom 
the  Salem  Records  we  learn  that  Samuel  Wakefield  was  an  appraiser  of  the 
estate  of  Anthony  Dike,  of  that  place,  November  28,  1679. 

"February  12, 1679-80,  Jonathan  Neale,cordwinder,  sold  to  Samuel  Wake- 
field, taylor,  26  poles  of  ground  in  Salem  towne;  acknowledged  February  19, 
1679-80;  recorded  March  3, 1683-4."  {Essex  Deeds.)  "February  28,  1683,  Samuel 
Wakefield,  taylor,  for  £110  of  good  silver,  current  money  of  New  England, 
sold  to  Mr.  John  Bollock,  ordinary  keeper,  28  or  30  poles  of  land  ia  Salem; 
acknowledged  February  29,  and  recorded  March  4,  1(583-4.  {Essex  Deeds.) 
From  York  Deeds,  folio  cxxx,  we  have  record  that  Samuel  Wakefield  wit- 
nessed a  bill  binding  Edmund  Sheere.  of  Boston,  to  pay  Miss  Mary  Saywood, 
of  Yorke,  thirty  shillings.  May  27,  1683. 

In  1684  he  petitioned  the  General  Court  to  erect  a  "wooden  frame"  in 
Boston,  which  was  not  granted,  reason  not  given.  Having  meantime 
erected  a  homestead,  he,  with  his  wife,  mortgaged  it,  in  January,  recorded 
in  February.  1685.  At  a  public  meeting  of  the  inhabitants  of  Boston, 
March  8,  1685-6,  Samuel  Wakefield  was  chosen  "Hogg  Reeves."  {Boston 
Records,  p.  183):  chosen  to  same  office  for  another  year,  March  14,  1686-7. 
The  Boston  tax-list  for  1687  gives  him  as  a  resident  of  No.  1  precinct;  list, 
"two  adults,  nine  housing  and  wharf,  one  cow,  two  trades;  tax,  4s,  6d." 
{liecord  Com.  Bep.,  vol.  i,  p.  86.)  November  6,  1687,  he  sold  his  Boston  man- 
sion to  Lady  Phipps,  and  probably  removed  soon  after  to  Salem,  as  in  the 
deed  in  reversion  after  death  of  his  mother,  November  4,  1691,  he  is  re- 
corded as  "of  Salem."  November  26, 1687,  Mathew  Dove  (his  father-in-law), 
for  a  consideration  of  £25,  sold  to  Samuel  Wakefield  a  tract  of  land  in 
Salem,  "with  the  dwelling  house  in  which  he  then  lived."  Acknowledged  by 
Mathew  and  Hannah  b!  Dove,  November  26,  1687;  recorded  February  15, 
1697-8.     {Esser  Deeds.) 

Samuel  Wakefield,  who  of  his  father's  family  was  perhaps  the  wealth- 
iest, purchased  a  lot  on  the  westerly  corner  of  what  are  now  Salem  and 
Charter  streets  in  Boston,  and  built  for  himself  what  was  at  that  time  one 
of  the  largest  and  finest  mansions  in  Boston.  It  was  of  brick  and  two  stor- 
ies in  height.  It  was  built  probibly  in  1685,  when  a  mortgage  was  put  on 
the  house  and  lot,  doubtless  to  help  defray  its  cost.  The  mortgage-reads  in 
substance  as  follows: 

"Samuel  Wakefleld  and  wife,  Elizabeth,  to Taylor,  mortsjagefor  £248,  his  home- 
stead on  Green  lane  and  street  leading  to  north  burying  ground,  adjoining  the  land  of 
Daniel  Terrill."    Dated  January  18,  recorded  February  23,  1685-6.     {Safolk  Deedfi,  13-425.) 

Dr.  Cotton  Mather  says,  William  Phipps,  who  was  in  early  youth  an  ap- 
prentice to  a  ship  carpenter,  "dreamed  when  a  poor  boy  that  he  would  be- 
come rich  and  build  him  a  house  on  Green  lane  (the  ancient  name  of  Salem 
street).  He  lived  to  realize  his  dream  and  became  the  head  of  the  colony." 
Says  Samuel  A.  Drake  {Old  Landmarks  of  Boston):  "He  received  knighthood 
for  the  recovery  of  £300,000  of  treasure  in  1687,  from  a  sunken  Spanish  gal- 
leon near  the  Bahamas,  all  of  which  he  turned  over  to  the  English  govern- 
ment, receiving  £16,000  as  his  share."  It  is  apparent  that  the  residence  of 
Samuel  Wakefield  became  "the  apple  of  his  eye,"  for  says  Sewell,  "Only  a  few 
days  after  the  news  had  reached  Boston  that  he  had  been  dubbed  Sir  Wil- 
liam Phipps"  at  Windsor  Castle,  his  wife, -then  "Lady  Phipps,"  purchased 
Samuel  Wakefield's  homestead  and  the  adjacent  premises  of  Daniel  Terrill. 
Later,  he  added  to  the  estate  by  other  adjoining  lots.  The  following  is  a 
minute  of  the  historic  deed: 

"Samuel  Wakefleld  and  wife  to  William  Phipps,  knight,  of  Boston.  November  6,  168r, 
Samuel  Wakefleld  and  wife,  and  Daniel  Terrill  and  wife,  for  £3,50,  one  brick  dwelling  and 
land  appertaining  on  ye  north  .side  of  street  leading  from  the  Long  street  toward  the 
burying  place."     {Svfolk  Deeds,  17-221.) 


28  Posterity  of  John  Wakefield  of  Boston. 


Soon  after  his  arrival  in  Boston  on  May  16, 1688,  Sir  William  Phipps  was 
escorted  from  his  newly  acquired  mansion  to  the  state  house  by  the  Boston 
reg'iment  and  companies  from  Charleston,  together  with  magistrates  and 
a  large  concourse  of  people  from  Boston  and  neighboring  towns;  the  new 
charter  and  the  governor's  commission  were  read  from  the  balcony  and  the 
retiring  governor,  Bradstreet,  vacated  in  his  favor.  The  residence  then 
became  known  as  the  Phipps  mansion,  the  street  corner,  as  Phipp's  corner, 
and  the  blind  alley  in  the  rear  as  Phipp's  place.  This  house  later  became 
the  residence  of  Captain  Gruchy,  a  wealthy  privateer  or  pirate  during  the 
French  and  Indian  war.  In  the  present  century  the  house  was  altered  by 
the  addition  of  a  third  story  and  was  used  in  1830  as  an  asylum  for  indigent 
boys. 

January  9,  1691-92,  Samuel  Endecott  and  wife  Hannah,  for  £36  sold  to 
Samuel  Wakefield  18  acres  of  land  in  Salem.  Acknowledged  .lanuary  15, 
1691-2:  recorded  February  15,  1697-8  (Essex  Deeds.)  Samuel  Wakefield  and 
wife  Elizabeth,  of  Salem,  deeded  to  Obadiah  Wakefield,  his  =  (Samuel's) 
share  of  the  first  division  of  the  estate  of  his  father,  in  reversion  after  the 
death  of  Ann  Child,  now  in  occupation  and  use  of  Ann  and  John  Child: 
dated  November  4,  1691,  recorded  April  15,  1691-92.  Here  Samuel  Wakefield 
is  given  as  a  tailor.  June  10,  1701,  Samuel  Wakefield  was  a  constable  in  Sa- 
lem and  is  on  record  as  officiating  as  such, in  connection  with  the  disposition 
of  a  dog  coming  ashore  from  a  vessel  affected  with  small  pox.  (Hist.  Coll. 
Essex  Inst.,  vol.  xi,  p.  238  9.) 

Samuel   Wakefield,  taylor,  and  wife  Elizabeth,  deeded   September   29, 

1701,  for  fourty  pounds,  to  .lames  Philips,  husbandman  of  Salem,  18  acres 

of  land  in  same:    recorded,  September  13,  1704,  acknowledged,  October  6, 

1701.     (Essex  Co.  Deeds.)     Felt,  in  his  HisUrry  of  Salem,  mentions  him  as  one 

of  the  "Tidewaiters"  in  1703.     We  have  preserved  to  us  records  of  some  of 

his  business  enterprises  of  which  we  quote  some  examples.     Printed  bill  of 

lading,  ]707: 

"Shipped  by  Samuel  Brown.  Captain  William  Bowdick.  William  Piciiering,  and  Sam- 
uel Wakerield  in  the  good  ship  called  the  Maj'ttower.  at  Salem,  one-fourth  of  cargo  of 
salt  on  the  account  of  Samuel  Wakefield  shipped  to  and  received  at  a  port  in  Maryland  by 
Samuel  Wakefield,  May  1,  1708."     {Hint.  Coll.  Essex  Inst.,  vol.  i,  p.  17:i.) 

Another  bill  received  by  Samuel  Wakefield,  associated  with  Philip 
English  and  John  Swasey,  master  of  the  Mayfiower.  (Hist.  Coll.  Essex  Inst., 
vol.  i,  p.  173.) 

In  two  instruments  dated  Salem,  Essex  count}',  the  first,  of  November 
17,  1707,  between  Samuel  Wakefield  and  his  son-in-law  Samuel  Ingersoll, 
the  former  legally  adopted  Elizabeth  Ingersoll,  his  granddaughter,  and 
daughter  of  the  latter,  by  his  first  wife  Elizabeth,  the  said  child  to  inherit 
the  clothing  of  her  mother.  Acknowledged  November  17,  1707,  recorded  No- 
vember 18.  1707.  The  second  instrument,  dated  January  16,  1704-5,  and  wit- 
nessed by  Phillip  English  and  William  Pickering;  Samuel  Ingersoll  agreed 
to  his  daughter's  legal  adoption,  by  her  grandfather,  Samuel  Wakefield,  and 
that  she  should  inherit  all  her  mother's  personal  property  and  clothing; 
acknowledged  May  28,  1719;  recorded  .lune  6,  1719.  (Essex  Deeds.)  October 
13,  1721,  Stephea  Doick  executed  a  power  of  attorney  to  his  trusty  friend, 
Samuel  Wakefield,  of  Salem,  in  his  relations  with  Jacob  Phillips,  of  Lynn, 
mariner;  acknowledged  October  13,  1721;  recorded  August  23,  1722,  (Essex 
Deeds.)  In  1722-4,  a  Salem  man.  Phillip  English,  who  did  not  believe  in 
witches,  and  so  expressed  it  too  vigorously,  was  fined  twenty  shillings  by  the 
grand  jury,  which  he  duly  appealed,  and  his  friend  Samuel  Wakefield,  went 
on  his  bond.     (Essex  Inst.  Hist.  Coll.,  vol.  i.  p.  198-269.) 

Regarding  his  avocation,  he  is  listed  in  Boston  as  having  two  trades; 
his  ownership  of  a  wharf  and  warehouses  there  and  his  shipping  records  in 
Salem  lead  us  to  call  him  a  shipping  merchant:  while  he  is  chronicled  in 
Suffolk  Deeds  as  a  tailor,  we  have  no  evidences  of  his  having  ever  worked  at 
this  trade.  Dated  January  18,  recorded  February  23,  1685.  On  February  2, 
1690-1,  prior  to  the  death  of  his  mother,  Samuel  Wakefield  received  by  deed 
his  first  (one)  share  of  estate  of  his  father.  The  balance  to  continue  undi-

"We  will  quietly  and  peaceably  sit  down  satisfied  with  our  division  and 
allottment."  {Suffolk  Beedti,  L.  cxxxviii.)  February  9,  1725,  Samuel  Wakefield, 
John  Pratt,  and  Jonathan  Glover  testified  that  in  1709,  Robert  Hill,  of  Sa- 
lem, calker,  did  in  Salem  publickly  cried  down  Tamson  Hill,  his  wife,  for- 
bidding- all  persons  to  creditt  her:  acknowledged  April  12,  172();  recorded 
April  12,  1726.  (Essex  iJieds.)  March  2(i,  1728,  Samuel  Wakefield  deeded  to 
his  daughter  Anne,  single  woman,  the  western  lower  room  in  the  dwelling 
house,  where  he  then  lived,  and  the  southeast  part  of  the  garden  belonging 
to  said  house  with  privilege  of  passing  to  and  from  the  premises,  necessary

pointed, October  2,  1728,  to  administer  his  estate.  Bond  of  same  date 
recorded.  His  wife  Elizabeth  must  have  died  first,  as  she  is  not  mentioned 
in  the  distribution  of  the  estate.

Joseph  Wakefield,  his  widow,  Mary,  was  appointed  administratrix,  but  she,  in  a  letter 
dated  Salem,  October  16.  1749,  declined  on  account  of  "bodily  indisposition."  The  adminis- 
tration (fe  bo/iiii  iioii  was  next  tendered  Ann  Brown,  daughter  of  Samuel,  who,  in  a  letter 
dated  Ipswich,  October  16, 1749,  also  declined  and  recommended  Robert  Roundy,  son-in-law 
to  Joseph,  the  former  administrator,  who  was  accordingly  appointed,  and  he  gave  bond 
of  the  same  date:  "Know  all  men  by  these  presence  that  we.  Robert  Roundy  and  Anthony 
Wood,  weavers,  and  Isaac  Woodberry,  gents.,  all  of  Beverly,  in  ye  County  of  Essex,

mentioned,  were  Phillip  English,  Joseph  Wakefield,  former  administrator,  for  coasting 
for  his  father  and  Ann  Wakefield  for  attendance  in  sickness.  The  total  value  of  the 
estate  is  not  clear,  but  bonds  were  in  the  sum  of  £1,000.

THIRD  GENERATION. 


8.  John''  Wakefield  {John,^  John'^),  son  of  John  and  Deliverance  Wake- 
field, was  born  at  his  father's  homestead  in  Boston,  .January  27,  1668,  a  share 
of  which  he  inherited  and  resided  on  for  some  time,  but  prior  to  1718  they 
removed  to  a  residence  property  on  Back  (now  Salem)  street,  then  owned 
by  his  father-in-law,  Thomas  Walker,  jr.,  but  by  a  deed  dated  October  14, 1718, 
and  acknowledged  and  recorded  .July  12,  1738,  it  was  presented  to  his  wife 
Elizabeth.  He  was  the  administrator  of  the  estate  of  his  mother.  Deliver- 
ance Wakefield,  and  his  administration  of  same  is  best  described  by  a 
series  of  official  records.  The  bond  dated  November  19,  1716,  in  the  sum  of 
£600  was  signed  by  John  Wakefield,  shipwright,  Thomas  Walker,  brick- 
burner,  and  Thomas  Walker,  jr.,  brickburner,  all  of  Boston.  Then  follows 
Suffolk  Deeds  (libre  32,  folio  91,  October  7,  1717.)  John  Wakefield  and  wife, 
Deliverance,  estate  (and  al.)  division  between  Thomas  Walker  and  H. 
Bridgeham,  assignees  of  .John  Wakefield,  eldest  son  of -John  and  Deliverance 
Wakefield,  (both  John,  sr.,  and  John,  jr.,  shipwrights,)  Joseph  Wakefield, 
shipwright,  son  of  John  and  Deliverance  Wakefield,  Samuel  Wakefield, 
shipwright,  third  son  of  Deliverance  and  John  Wakefield,  Joseph  Bill, 
husband  of  Deliverance,  a  daughter  of  John  and  Deliverance  Wakefield, 
and  John  Corsser  and  Sarah,  his  wife,  daughter  of  John  and  Deliverance 
Wakefield,  (which  said,  John,  Joseph,  Samuel,  Deliverance,  and  Sarah, 
were  all  children  of  -John  and  Deliverance  Wakefield,  deceased.  (Libre  31, 
folio,  81.  December  18,  1716.)  John,  child  of  John  and  Deliverance  Wake- 
field to  Thomas  Walker,  quit  claim  by  .John,  eldest  son,  administrator  of 
his  parents,  John  and  Deliverance  Wakefield,  all  his  share  in  his  father's 
and  mother's  property;  acknowledged  December  — .  1716;  recorded  March 
20,  1716.  (Libre  .32,  folio  92.  November  4,  1717.)  Deliverance  Wakefield 
and  John,  child,  et  at.  to  Thomas  Walker,  John  Corsser  and  Sarah,  his  wife, 
all  their  share  of  parents  estate  as  above. 

He  was  married  by  Cotton  Mather,  November  23,  1693,  to  Elizabeth, 
daughter  of  Thomas  and  Elizabeth  (Collins)  Walker.  His  father-in-law, 
Thomas  Walker,  died,  and  his  will,  dated  July  23,  1724,  and  proved  February 
28.  1725,  divided  an  estate  valued  at  £5.270;  inventory  dated  December  12, 
1727.  In  the  division  of  the  estate,  Elizabeth  Wakefield  received  the  rear 
and  lower  part  of  the  Mansion  House  of  Thomas  Walker,  on  Orange  street, 
etc.,  valued  at  £1,066,  which  was,  on  September  6,  1735,  sold  to  Thomas 
Walker's  widow,  Elizabeth,  by  Samuel  Wakefield,  guardian.  John  Wake- 
field was  a  mariner  or  shipwright,  but  we  have  no  records  of  his  rank  on 
shipboard.  He  died  January  31,  1735,  and  is  interred  in  the  King's  Chapel 
burying  ground,  Boston.  It  is  evident  that  the  grief  of  his  widow  at  his 
loss  was  very  great,  as  soon  after  her  mind  became  deranged,  and  on  May 
30,  17.35,  Probate  Judge  Josiah  Willard  communicated  to  the  selectmen  the 
fact  that  Elizabeth  Wakefield,  of  Boston,  aforesaid  widow,  is  a  non  compos 
person,  or  so  far  wanting  in  reason  and  understanding  as  to  be  incapable  of 
managing  her  own  aft'airs.  June  6, 1735,  five  selectmen  were  duly  appointed 
a  committee  to  visit  her  and  report  on  her  case.  They  accordingly  re- 
ported on  that  date,  finding  her  as  above  described,  and  her  son  Samuel 
was  duly  appointed  guardian,  giving  bond  in  the  sum  of  £1,000,  June  17,  1735. 
Her  guardian,  by  order  of  the  court,  reported  house  sold  for  £425,  and  to 
Interest  and  other  cash  receipts  a  total  of  £471 18,s00fZ.  She  must  have  died 
about  August  1,  1738,  as  on  August  4  of  that  year  James  Barnard,  Benjamin 
Eustis,  and  Edward  Brazer,  were  chosen  by  Samuel  Wakefield,  Paul  Sher- 
roch,  and  David  Lennox,  heirs,  to  appraise  the  estate  of  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
Wakefield,  late  of  Boston,  deceased,  the  inventory  of  which  they  reported

at  ye  North  End  near  ye  Baptiste  Meeting  House,  £65  00s  OOcZ."  After  her 
decease,  her  son  Samuel  was  appointed  her  administrator,  and  in  his  item- 
ized account  of  debits  were  the  following,  of  special  interest: 

"Paid  Ester  Wakefleld,  for  sundrys  at  my  father's  decease;  paid  Deacon  Lee,  the 
former  guardian;  paid  Joseph  Wakefisld,  for  glass  and  mending  windows;  paid  David

sickness;  paid  Captain  Breed,  for  boarding  my  mother;  sundrys  for  my  mother  during 
her  last  illness;  Dr.  Perkins,  for  medicine  and  attendance;  Mr.  Mallins  &  Co.,  porters' 
notes  for  pall  bell,  etc.;  George  Holmes,  for  twenty-niae  pairs  gloves  for  funeral;  Captain 
Turen,  for  three  gallons  of  wine  for  funeral;  Eliza  Adleton,  ye  dece  ised  grandchild,  for 
mourning;  David  Lennox,  for  ye  coEfla  and  sundrys;  Joseph  Wakefield,  note  for  glass; 
David  Lennox,  for  boarding  my  mother  from  August  20,  1734,  to  June  38,  1738."  (Possibly 
the  latter  date  was  the  date  of  her  decease.)

to  the  church  in  Boston;"  married  by  Mr.  William  Cooper,  in  Boston,  April 

13,  1732.     He  resided  in  Boston,  and  the  following  mortgage  describes  the 

location  of  his  residence: 

"March  19.  1717-18,  Joseph  Wakefield  and  wife  Esther  to  Samuel  Terrill.  mortgage, 
property  bounded  north  by  NlchoUs,  east  by  Samuel  Wakefield,  south  by  Wakefield's 
Alley,  and  west  by  Harris."     (Suffolk  Beeds,  libre  32,  folio  193.) 

Joseph  Wakefield  distinguished  himself  as  a  brave  man  and  persistent 
fighter,  having  served  under  various  commanders  and  in  the  most  bloody- 
battles  throughout  King  Philip's  War.  AVe  find  him  credited  with  military 
service  under  Captain  Mosely,  amounting  to  £2  14,s  lUcZ,  on  .June  24,  1676,  and 
on  August  4  of  the  same  year  12s  lOcZ.  He  probably  served  with  the  valiant 
captain,  perhaps  one  of  the  independent  company  whose  organization  was 
thus  recorded.  "Within  three  hours"  says  the  old  historian,  "there  were  en- 
listed 110  volunteers."  These  were  partly  old  privateer  men.  who  had  jirevi- 
ously  served  under  the  captain  and  partly  young  men,  apprentice  boys,  etc. 
He  was  probably  with  Mosely  in  that  grand  and  successful  assault  on  Philip's 
stronghold  at  Narragansett  on  the  19th  of  December,  1675,  when  six  of  the 
captains  in  the  command  fell  and  Captain  Mosely's  company,  who  led  the 
van,  lost  nine  killed  and  ten  wounded.  {New  England  Historical  and  Genealog- 
ical Register,  vol.  xxxvii,  pp.  183-186.)  We  also  find  in  the  same  (vol.  xxxix, 
p.  .382),  that  Joseph  Wakefie^d  was  a  member  of  Major  Clark's  company  in 
the  same  war.  Quoted  from  Massachusetts  Archives,  vol.  Ixviii,  p.  95.  Also 
in  the  Massachusetts  Archives,  vol.  Ixviii,  p.  95,  Joseph  Wakefield  is  credited 
with  service  under  command  of  Captain  James  Oliver  in  King  Phillip's  War.

A'ote 3.— '-Tiie  sturdy  mechanics  of  the  North  End  were  ever  read}'  to  act  in  the  cause 
of  liberty,  no  matter  what  the  sacrifice  might  be.  Many  of  her  sons  gained  a  noble  repu- 
tation in  the  wars  of  the  republic.  There  was  that  old  sea  lion,  John  Manly,  who  held  the 
first  naval  commission  issued  by  Washington  in  1776.  He  took,  in  the  "Lee."  the  dangerous 
cruising-ground  of  Boston  Ba3',  and  captured,  in  November,  the  British  ordnance  brig 
Nancy,  a  prize  so  important  to  the  Continental  arm}'  that  the  camps  were  wild  with  joy. 
Among  other  pieces  taken  was  a  heavv  brass  mortar,  which  Old  Put  mounted  with  a 
bottle  of  rum  in  his  hand,  while  Mifflin  christened  it  the  "Congress."  The  Lee  made  other 
important  captures;  and  in  1776  Manly  was  given  command  of  the  Hancock  frigate,  in 
which  he  captured  the  Fox,  British  man-of-war,  but  was  himself  taken  prisoner  by  the 
Rainbow,  a  much  heavier  vessel  than  his  own.  He  commanded  afterwards  the  Jason 
and  Hague,  in  both  of  which  he  gave  evidence  that  he  was  a  worthy  comrade  of  Paul 
Jones.  Manly  was  a  l:)luff  but  indiscreet  seaman,  and  for  some  irregularity  was  court- 
martialed.  He  died  in  1793,  at  his  house  at  the  North  End."  (p.  330.  Drake's  Old' Land-

14.  Captain  Obadiah''  Wakefield  (Obadiah,-  John^),  third  child  of 
Obadiah  and  Susanna  Wakefield,  was  born  November  11,  1677.  He  was  a 
mariner  and  became  a  ship  captain.  In  the  New  England  Historical  and  Gen- 
ealogical Ite^ister,  vol.  xxxi,  p.  jll,  we  find  a  Boston  record  of  his  arrival  in 
port  with  his  brig  "Prince  Eugene,"  from  London,  dated  June  17,  1712. 
Obadiah  Wakefield  was  married  by  Cotton  Mather,  November  23,  1693,  to 
Rebecca,  daughter  of  Sampson  and  Rebecca  Waters,  of  Boston. 

Among  Suffolk  Deeds,  30-166,  we  find  recorded  the  award  of  arbitrators 
on  the  estate  of  Sampson  Waters,  August  18,  1706,  providing  for  division 
between  Thomas  Barker,  who  married  Rebecca,  widow  of  Sampson  Waters, 
John  Jarvis  and  wife  Mary,  Obadiah  Wakefield  and  wife  Rebecca,  and  and 
.John  Wakefield  and  wife  Anne,  three  daughters  and  only  surviving  child- 
ren of  Sampson  Waters,  as  to  brick  building,  wharffe,  and  movable  estate. 
Land  was  granted  to  Obadiah  Wakefield  and  wife  and  John  Wakefield  and 
wife,  in  Somerset  county,  on  Nauticook  river,  Va.;  acknowledged  December 
20,  1707,  recorded  June  6,  1716.  Another  record  from  same  source,  30-123,  we 
find  a  divisional  agreement  of  date  September  30,  1714,  between  Obadiah 
Wakefield  and  wife  Rebecca,  John  Jarvis  and  wife  Mary,  both  wives,  daugh- 
ters of  Sampson  Waters,  each  to  have  "one-half  of  housing  and  wharffe  and 
commonage  of  yard."  (libre  xxxix,  folio  53.)  Obadiah  Wakefield,  to  George 
Hopkins,  October  5,  1725.  Obadiah  Wakefield,  shipwright,  brick  house, 
wharf,  etc.,  near  High  street,  dower  Released  by  wife,  Mary,  (libre  xxxix 
folio  138.)  Obadiah  Wakefield  from  George  Hopkins,  October  7,  1725,  lower 
room  of  dwelling  house  of  George  Hopkins  for  life.  Obadiah  is  mentioned 
as  a  shipwright,  (libre  xlv,  folio  166.)  May  16,  1730,  another  deed,  Obadiah 
Wakefield  and  wife  to  George  Hopkins.  George  Hopkins  was  his  son-in-law, 
and  the  above  probably  are  representative  in  part  of  a  divisional  distribu- 
tion of  his  property  among  his  children.  The  first  deed  above  given  may 
have  significant  connection  with  the  following  record:  We  find  among  the 
deeds  of  York  county.  Me.,  book  vii,  folio  15,  that  Obadiah  Wakefield  wit- 
nessed an  instrument  of  power  of  attorney  of  Robert  Screven,  son  of  Rev. 
William  Screven,  in  which  Rev.  William  Screven,  of  Somerton,  near 
Charleston,  S.  C  ,  appoints  his  son  Robert  (a  shipwright)  his  attorney  to 
conduct  his  afl:'airs  and  manage  his  property  at  Kittery,  Me.  The  same 
made  and  signed  at  Charleston,  S.  C,  June  12,  1704,  and  there  witnessed  by 
Obadiah  Wakefield  and  John  Pitts.  Acknowledged  before  John  Clark,  J. P. 
of  Boston,  July  12,  1704,  by  the  witnesses,  probably  both  shipwrights.  In 
accordance  with  the  above  authority,  Robert  Screven,  then  of  Kittery, 
sold  to  Nicholas  Frost,  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  a  mariner,  land  in  Kittery, 
dated  November  12,  1704,  acknowledged  by  witnesses  at  Kittery,  November 
20,  1704.  Another  Suffolk  Deed,  108-270  (1714),  is  recorded  the  division  of  part 
of  Sampson  Water's  estate  between  Obadiah  Wakefield  and  wife  Rebecca, 
and  John  Jarvis  and  wife  Mary,  both  wives  being  daughters  of  Sampson 
Waters.

17.  Captain  .IohN"'  Wakefield  {Ohadiah,-  John^),  son  of  Obadiah  and 
Suianna  Wakefield:  born  in  Boston  July  4,  1682.  Capt.  John  Wakefield  mar- 
ried, August  8,  1706,  Anne,  daughter  of  Sampson  and  Rebecca  Waters,  of 
Boston;  married  by  Rev.  Cotton  Mather.  Anne  (Waters)  Wakefield  died 
January  1,  1712;  then  John  married  secondly,  January  7,  1713-14,  Sarah, 
daughter  of  Thomas  and  Elizabeth  Russell,  of  Boston,  married  by  Rev.  Cot- 
ton Mather.  Mrs.  Sarah  Wakefield  was  baptized  August  31,  and  the  fol- 
lowing March  7,  1735-6,  was  admitted  to  the  new  brick  church,  Boston.  He 
was  a  ship  captain,  as  is  attested  by  the  following  record: 

""Arrivals;  Impost  Office,  Boston,  Mass.  Vessels  entered  ye  month  of  May,  1712; 
John  Wakefield  with  ye  brig  "Lisbon  Merchant,'  vessel  from  Lisbon;  no  passengers,  but 
mariners. 

Judging  from  the  following  record.  Captain  Wakefield  was  a  man  of 
considerable  prominence  in  Boston,  as  during  King  George's  War,  "Septem- 
ber 22.  1746,  in  public  town  meeting  assembled  in  Fanueil  Hall,  Captain 
John  Wakefield  was  chosen  one  of  a  committee  to  wait  upon  the  captain- 
general  for  his  leave  in  placing  cannons,  etc.,  at  the  ends  of  the  wharfs, 
and  take  action  for  the  security  of  the  town  and  defense  against  the  enemy." 
(Boston  Records,  vol.  xiv.)  From  the  following  deeds  we  may  judge  of  the 
location  and  extent  of  his  real  estate  possessions:  [Suffolk  Deeds,  libre  xlv, 
folio  87.)  January  4  1730,  John  Wakefield  (mariner),  from  Nathaniel  Bel-

Captain  John  Wakefield  died  in  April,  1754,  and  on  the  17th  of  that 
month  his  widow,  Sarah,  was  appointed  administratrix  of  his  estate,  and 
she,  with  Thomas  Walker,  merchant,  and  Joseph  Hiller,  jeweler,  gave  bond 
in  the  sum  of  £1,000,  of  the  same  date.  The  inventory  of  his  estate,  dated

Thornton,  gave  bonds  in  the  sum  of  £200.  It  would  appear  from  the  above 
that  John  Coolidge,  Experience's  second  husband,  did  not  long  survive  their

THORNTON  PEDIGREE. 

Note— Key.  Thomas  Thornton,  Yarmouth,  came  soon  after  the  Bartholomew  act  of 
1662,  bringing  wife  and  children.  At  Yarmouth  he  was  as  early  as  June  18,  1663,  and  in 
1677,  removed  to  Boston,  joined  Mather's  church  (Old  North)  and  died  February  13.  1700, 
aged  90  to  93  years.  In  January,  1694,  he  was  called  by  Cotton  Mather  to  testify  how  Mar- 
garet Rule  was  raised  from  her  bed  by  an  invisible  force;  was  probabh'  then  in  second 
childhood.  His  son,  Timothy,  born  in"l647,  was  a  Boston  merchant;  born  in  England,  and 
admitted  freeman  1672  bv  his  wife  Experience,  perhaps  sister  of  the  first  John  Brooking, 
who  died  March  23.  1694.  "Timothy  Thornton  was  representative  1693-4-5.  He  had  another 
wife,  Sarah,  who  died  December  3,  1725.  He  died  September  19,  1726.  Daughter  Experi- 
ence, born  February  a3,  1687;  married  September  24,  1713,  Ebenezer  Wakefield. 

26.  Joseph-^  Wakefield  (Samuel,^  Jolin^),  son  of  Samuel  and  Eliza- 
beth (Dove)  Wakefield:  born  in  Boston,  August  12, 1686;  married  Mary  Grif- 
tis,  intentions  published  August  9, 1735.  He  resided  in  Salem  and  succeeded 
to  the  business  of  his  father,  in  shipping  trade  with  southern  coast  ports, 
acting  as  administrator  of  his  estate. 

September  1,  1786.  Martin  Village  and  Christain,  his  wife,  for  £110,  in 
bills  of  credit,  deeded  to  Joseph  Wakefield  15  poles  of  land  and  dwelling 
houses  thereon:  acknowledged  September  4,  ]736;  recorded  September  4, 
1736.  November  4,  1737,  Joseph  Wakefield,  mariner,  for  £110  sold  to  Chris- 
tian Village,  wife  of  Martin  Village,  a  dwelling  house  with  15  poles  of  land; 
acknowledged  November  24,  1737:  recorded  same  date.  It  is  evident  that 
Joseph  Wakefield  was  either  considerable  of  a  spendthrift  or  very  unsuc- 
cessful in  business  life,  as  after  the  inheritance  of  a  comfortable  fortune 
from  his  opulent  father,  he  died  in  January,  1745-6,  and  the  inventory  of  his 
estate,  of  date  June  18,  1746,  as  presented  by  his  widow,  Mary,  who  was  ap- 
pointed administratrix,  January  13, 1745-6,  shows  a  total  assets'  of  £39  17s  09(Z, 
and  total  liabilities  of  £101  6s  Od.  Among  the  items  inventoried,  of  interest, 
were  "a  pair  of  Linsawoolsa  curtains,  a  pair  of  plush  briches.  and  a  large 
bible."  No  real  estate  at  all  is  mentioned,  but  cash  £29  18.s_  9c7,  which 
would  indicate  that  he  had  disposed  of  his  property  and  was  living  up  the 
principal.

abeth (Walker)  Wakefield;  born  in  Boston  January  5,  1698:  baptized  Old 
North  Church,  January  9.  He  removed  to  Ashford,  Conn.,  where  he 
resided  for  several  years.  The  Ashford  Registry  of  Deeds  record  the  fol- 
lowing land    conveyances   to  Thomas  Wakefield:     Thirty-five   acres  from 

Dr.  Bart,  in  1754:  eight  acres  from  Samuel  Wakefield,  in  1755;  and 

acres  from  Ezekiel  Badger,  in  1856.     He  married ,  who 

died  after  a  few  years.  In  1757  he  deeded  to  his  son,  William  Wakefield, 
his  Ashford  real  estate  of  seventy-five  acres,  and  removed  soon  after  with 
his  son,  William,  to  Woodstock,  Conn.,  and  made  his  home  with  his  son, 
there,  until  his  death,  November  — ,  17(il.  He  died  intestate,  and  his  son, 
William  Wakefield,  and  Ebenezer  Williams,  esq.,  judge,  were  appointed 
administrators  of  his  estate  on  December  1,  17(51.  Among  the  beneficiaries 
of  his  estate  were  Kesia  Wakefield,  who  received  £6  12s  8d,  July  6.1762,

1701,  in  the  Old  North  Church;  married  December  7, 172(),  Mrs  Copia  Love, 
widow  of  Richie  Love  and  daughter  of  Rev.  Thomas  and  Elizabeth  (Turner) 
Bridge.  He  died  April  — ,  1732.  The  Suffolk  County.  Massachusetts,  Probate 
Records  show  (book  23,  p.  258):  Letters  of  administration  granted  to  Copia 
Love  on  the  estate  of  Richie  Love,  a  merchant,  and  (book  26,  p.  417)  letters 
of  administration  de  bonis  non  granted  to  Benjamin  Gray  on  estate  of  Richie 
Love,  August  .23,  1728,  on  account  of  decease  of  his  widow,  Copia,  and  (book 
29  p.  305)  the  inventory  de  bonis  non  filed  by  said  Benjamin  Gray.  Tradition 
states  that  about  a  year  following  the  birth  of  her  son,  Thomas  Wakefield, 
August  5,  1727,  Copia  Wakefield  died,  which  conforms  with  the  above  record. 
The  Suffolk  Probate  Records  (book  31,  p.  86,  No.  6,283)  show  the  will  of  Joseph 
Wakefield,  which  provides: 

■'All  of  the  remainder  of  mv  estate,  both  real  and  personal,  whatever  and  whereso- 
ever the  same  is,  or  may  be  found,  I  give,  devise,  and  bequeath  the  same  to  by  dear  and 
well  beloved  child,  Thomas  Wakefield,  to  be  holden  by  him,  his  heirs,  and  assigns  forever." 

There  is  no  devise  or  bequest  to  any  other  person.  Luke  Hardy,  of  Boston, 
innkeeper,  is  sole  executor.  His  will  is  dated  April  27, 1732.  Joseph  Wakefield 
is  described  as  a  perriwigg-maker  and  book  31,  p.  86,  shows  it  was  proved  and 
allowed  and  letters  executors  issued  August  23, 1732.  A  tradition  universal 
among  his  descendants,  relates  that  he  was  also  engaged  in  the  jewelry 
business,  a  silversmith.  The  following  copy  of  their  certificate  of  marri- 
age intentions  will  be  of  interest: 

"Boston.  A  Purpose  of  Marriage  between  Mr.  Joseph  Wakefield  and  Miss  Sophia

Note  i— High-crowned  felt  hats  were  worn  out  of  doors,  while  the  velvet  skull-cap  was 
the  favorite  head-dress  within.  In  1750.  cocked-hats,  wigs,  and  red  cloaks  were  usually 
worn  bj"  gentlemen.  Except  among  militarj'  men,  boots  were  rarely  seen.  In  winter, 
round  coats  were  worn,  made  stiff  with  buckram  and  coming  down  to  the  knees  in  front. 
Bovs  wore  wigs  and  cocked-hats  until  about  1790.  Powder  was  worn  by  gentlemen  until 
after  1800.     (p.  10,  Drake's  Old  LantJmarks  of  Boston.)

BRIDGE  PEDIGREE. 

Note  3. — "Rev.  Thomas  Bridge  was  born  at  Hacknej',  in  England,  in  16.56;  was  regularly 
educated  at  Oxford.  His  first  place  of  residence  in  North  America  was  West  Jersey;  he 
there,  also  received  an  invitation  to  settle  as  a  minister  of  the  gospel,  refused  this  call, 
arrived  in  Boston  on  the  17th  of  March,  1704.  He  was  regularly  installed  as  a  colleague 
pastor  with  Messrs.  Allen  and  Wadsworth,  May  10,  1705.  He  had  been  settled  as  a  clergyman 
previously;  preached  at  Jamaica  and  Bermuda:  at  each  of  these  places  he  had  re'ceived 
an  invitation  to  settle  as  a  minister  of  the  gospel.  The  following  is  an  answer  to  a  vote 
of  the  First  Church  of  Christ,  in  Boston,  from  Rev.  Thomas  Bridge,  dated  March  31,  1705. 

"Dearly  Beloved:— I  have  entertained  your  former  invitation  and  this  also,  with 
fear  and  trembling,  being  sensible  of  the  greatness  of  the  work  and  my  manifest  infirmi- 
ties, but  I  am  r.ot  my  own  and  my  encouragement  is  that  the  grace  of  God  is  sufficient  for 
me.  I  have  therefore  solemnl}',"  f reel}',  and  entirely,  resigned  myself  up  to  His  dispose 
and  find  satisfaction  therein.  I  bless  His  glorious"  name  for  the  acceptance  my  labors 
have  found  amongst  you:  and  looking  upon  it  as  mj'  work,  that  you  have  hearts  inclined 
to  give  me  this  call  I  therefore  thankfuUv  and  willingly  accept  it, 

(Church  Records.)  '  ""  Thomas  Bridge." 

In  the  unsuccessful  expedition  which  in  1707  was  made  against  Port  Roj'al,  he  was 
appointed  by  the  governor  and  council  to  accompany  the  commissioners  June  o;  the 
church  voted  its  consent  to  his  compliance.  He  sailed  from  Boston  July  5,  and  returned 
on  the  1st  of  September  following. 

Mr.  Bridge  was  upright  in  his  dealings,  of  kind  affections,  devout  in  his  habits,  and 
irreproachable  in  morals;  prayer  was  his  gift  and  the  Bible  his  library;  and  so  sincere 
and  strong  were  his  expressions  of  huniilit}^  that  he  frequently  kindled  a  blush  in  the 
cheek  of  the  forward  man  and  shamed  the  ambitious  out  of  their  love  of  distinction.  He 
received  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  from  Harvard  College;  his  name  is  affixed  to  the 
class  which  was  graduated  in  1675.  Rev.  Thomas  Bridge,  senior  pastor  of  the  First 
Church,  died  in  the  fifty-ninth  year  of  his  age  and  the  11th  of  his  ministry  of  this  church, 
26th  of  September,  171.0."  Dr.  Cotton  Mather  says  of  him:  "Being  invited  to  the  pastoral 
care  of  a  flock  whose  famous  predecessors  were  to  be  succeeded,  the  light  was  fixed  in  a 
candle-stick  and  shown  for  eleven  years  together,  some  of  the  rays  of  which  we  have  in 
his  printed  compositions.''  He  was  not  easilj'  excited,  yet  his  patriotism  was  warm,  and 
he  omitted  no  opportunity  to  manifest  his  love  for  civil  and  religious  liberties  of  the 
country. 

•■Rev.  Thomas  Bridge  died  suddenlj-  on  September  26,  1715.  His  funeral  sermon  was 
preached  by  Rev.  Dr.  Colmaji:  his  remains  were  treated  with  particular  respect.  The 
church  voted  to  pay  his  funeral  expenses,  which  amounted  to  £104  i!f520)."  Memorials  of  the 
Dead  in  Boston.  King's  Cliayel  Burial  Ground,  bj'  Thomas  Bridgman.  Boston.  1853:  "He  mar- 
ried Elizabeth  Turner,  only  child  of  a  widow  who  married  William  Patterson,  founder  of 
the  Bank  of  England.  By  Patterson's  will  (1718)  he  left  Elizabeth  Bridge  £1.500,  and  made 
her  residuary  legatee.  Bridge  for  some  years  lived  at  Jamaica.  New  Providence,  Barba-

and  four  daughters,  March  17,  1701;  was  called  as  assistant  pastor  to  the  First  Church  in 
170i,  and  later  became  its  pastor.  Familj'  records,  plate,  etc.,  lost  by  great  fire.  He  had 
traveled  in  Europe  and  the  East.''  (From  History  of  First  Church  in  Boston,  by  A.B.  Ellis.  1S80.) 
Mrs.  Elizabeth  Bridge,  relict  of  Rev.  Mr.  Thomas  Bridge,  died  May  22,  1722.  "Upon  the  rec-

The  Suffolk  Probate  Records  show  that  on  June  17,  1735,  Samuel  Wake- 
field, hatter,  was  appointed  guardian  unto  his  mother  Elizabeth  Wakefield, 
of  Boston,  relict,  widow  of  John  Wakefield,  late  of  Boston,  shipwright,  and

The  Record  of  IS  iff  oik  Deeds  shows  as  follows:

James  Butler  was  bv  occupation  a  goldsmith.  He  possessed  whole-souled  social  qual- 
ities: he  was  a  favorite  among  the  British  ofticers  in  Boston  and  it  is  said  they  found  a 
welcome  rendezvous  in  a  back  room  of  his  shop.  "As  was  natural  he  became  politically 
a  Tory,  socially  a  high-liver,  and  financially  a  bankrupt."  He  made  his  way  to  Halifax, 
Nova'Scotia,  but  returned  poorer  than  when  he  went  and  was  afterwards  largely  sup- 
ported by  his  son.  James.  He  appears  to  have  boarded  with  Solomon  Holman,  of  Sutton, 
Mass.,  a  relative,  where  he  probabh'  died. — {Extract  from  Butler  Genealoi/y.)

ondly, November  15.  1751.  Dorcas  Hayward,  at  Ashford,  Conn.:  he  married, 

thirdly, ,  at  Brookfield,  Vt.     He  was  a  soldier  in  King  George's 

War,  and  his  name  appears  on  the  roll  of  Capt.  Thomas  Cheney's  company 
as  serving  on  the  expedition  against  Canada  in  1746.  He  was  dismissed  Oc- 
tober .31,  1747.     (See  Register,  18%,  p.  72.) 

In  1780,  he  removed  to  New  Hampshire,  and  settled  first  at  Lebanon, 
where,  on  March  31,  1780,  he  signed  a  remonstrance  against  the  action  of 
the  town.  Some  time  before  1785  he  removed  to  Brookfield,  where,  on 
March  18,  1785,  at  the  first  town  meeting  at  Brookfield,  he  was  chosen  a 
Selectman.  He  was  still  residing  in  Brookfield  in  1789,  in  which  year  he  is 
on  record  both  as  grantor  and  grantee  in  land  conveyances.  About  the  year 
1800  he  removed  with  his  family  to  Brompton,  Canada,  where  he  remained 
until  about  1815,  when  he  returned  to  Brookfield,  A^t.  While  a  resident  of 
Brompton  he  attained  considerable  prominence,  and  the  locality  in  which 
he  lived  was  named  in  his  honor  '^Wakefield  Hill."'  After  his  removal  to 
Brompton  he  purchased  real  estate  there,  which  he  disposed  of  upon  tak- 
ing leave  for  his  return  home.  It  is  said  that  his  return  to  the  "States" 
was  necessitated  by  the  hostilities  of  the  War  of  1812.

6V>.  THOMAS''  Wakefield  {Joseph,*  John,^  John,^  John^),  son  of  Joseph 
and  Copia  (Bridge)  Wakefield,  was  born  at  liis  father's  residence  on 
Back  (now  Salem)  street,  Boston,  August  5,  1727.  Upon  the  death  of  his 
mother,  in  that  or  the  following  year,  he  was  taken  by  his  father  to  the 
home  of  Dr.  Abraham  Gould,  of  Stoneham,  on  the  road  between  Stoneham 
and  South  Reading  (now  Wakefield),  there  to  be  kept  and  cared  for.  Accord- 
ing to  family  tradition  he  was  after  a  time  taken  home  to  Boston,  but  Mrs. 
Gould  had  become  so  attached  to  the  child  that  she  could  not  live  without 
him,  and  her  husband  went  for  him  again.  He  remained  with  the  Goulds 
until  old  enough  to  learn  a  trade,  when  he  was  bound  out  to  Wm.  Beard, 
then  living  near  the  Parker  Pratt  House  on  Haverhill  street,  in  Reading, 
to  learn  the  carpenter's  trade.  It  was  stipulated  that  he  should  not  be 
fed  upon  beans  and  that  he  should  have  sugar  on  his  puddings.  The  ISuf- 
-^'olli  Count jj  Beg istry  of  Deeds  (book  79,  p.  155)  show  deed  dated  March  20,  1749, 
by  Thomas  Wakefield,  of  Reading,  Mass.,  housewright,  to  David  Lennox, 
conveying  one  full  tenth  part  of  the  messuage  (dwelling),  etc.,  late  of  the 
estate  of  Elizabeth  Wakefield,  deceased,  at  north  end  of  Boston.  Occupied 
by  D.  Lenox  and  William  Crocksford,  borders  northwest  on  Back  street,  40 
feet;  northeast  on  land  of  .T.  Baker,  80  feet:  southeast  on  Butler  and  Loring, 
40  feet,  and  southwest  on  Thomas  Crafts,  80  feet,  and  book  79,  p.  162,  shows 
deed  dated  March  20,  1749,  by  Thomas  Wakefield,  of  Reading,  Mass.,  house- 
wright, to  William  Crocksford,  another  tenth  oE  the  estate  above  men- 
tioned. So  on  reaching  manhood  he  disposed  of  his  interest  in  the  estate 
of  his  grandmother,  Elizabeth  (Walker)  Wakefield. 

He  married  March  24,  1750,  at  Reading,  Mass.,  Dorcas  Pratt,  daughter 
of  Timothy  and  Tabitha  (Boutwell)  Pratt.  Mr.  Pratt  lived  "side  the  pond" 
on  the  easterly  side  of  what  is  now  Main  street  of  the  town  of  Wakefield, 
in  what  was  called  the  old  "Harrison"  house,  on  land  now  owned  by  Mr. 
.Julius  Beebe.  His  domicile  has  been  removed,  but  many  of  this  generation 
remember  its  modest  yet  substantial  appearance.  Thomas  Wakefield 
succeeded  to  the  homestead  of  Timothy  Pratt  and  there  he  resided  on  the 
borders  of  the  beautiful  Lake  Quannipowitt.  This  ancient  dwelling  of  Tim- 
othy Pratt,  and  his  son-in  law,  Thomas  Wakefield,  had  its  own  charms  of 
location,  favored  by  nature  and  was  loved  as  a  peaceful  home.  The  home- 
stead estate  is  now  owned  and  occupied  by  Mr.  Charles  Wakefield.  He 
continued  to  reside  in  Reading  until  1756-7  when  he  removed  with  his  family 
to  Souhegan,  West  N.  H.,  which  was  incorporated  and  received  the  name 
of  Amherst  in  1760.  He  thereafter  resided  at  Amherst  until  his  death  in 
September  1791.  At  Amherst  he  was  selectman  and  town  clerk,  taking  a 
prominent  part  in  the  revolutionary  affairs,  and  performing  other  important 
duties.  He  was  an  honest,  upright,  and  highly  respected  citizen  and  his 
death  was  universally  mourned  by  his  townsmen.  After  his  death  his  widow 
returned  to  Reading,  where  she  died  November  25, 1802.  Thomas  Wakefield 
was  a  tax-payer  at  Amherst  as  early  as  1760,  and  took  part  in  the  renewal  of 
the  charter,  and  as  selectman  certified  the  pledge  of  the  citizens  of  Am- 
herst, in  1776,  to  support  the  cause  of  the  colonies.  His  service  is  stated  in 
the  following  certificate: 

"I  hereby  certify  that  Thomas  Wakefield  was  one  of  the  selectmen  of  Amherst,  N.H., 
in  the  year  of  our  Lord  1761-1762-1763-176.5-1766-1767-1768  and  1769.  He  was  town  clerk  and 
first  selectman  in  1770.  also  in  1771-1776-1777-1778,  and  from  1779  to  1783  town  clerk  and  first 
selectman,  covering  a  period  of  eighteen  j^ears  out  of  twent3'-six  in  which  he  held  an  offlce 
in  the  town  of  Amherst.  Mr.  Wakefield  also  held  other  offices  in  the  town  during  that 
time.'' — (D.  Bussell,  Tutrii  Clerk  of  Amherst,  A*.  //.)

1752:  died  at  Windsor,  Vt.,  June  — ,  1827. 

In  1774,  Thomas  Wakefield  deeded  real  estate  to  .Joseph  Wakefield  in 
Amherst,  county  of  Hillsborough.  Province  of  New  Hampshire,  and  deed 
was  witnessed  by  William  Wakefield.  He  was  living  at  Amherst,  N.  H., 
on  becoming  of  age,  and  on  April  23,  1775,  he  enlisted  in  Captain  Crosby's 
company,  of  Colonel  Reed's  regiment,  and  took  part  in  the  Battle  of 
Bunker  Hill.  Captain  Crosby's  return  of  losses  shows  that  .Joseph  Wake- 
field "lost  one  pair  of  deer-skin  breeches  and  one  cartooch-box."  (See 
Secomb's  History  of  Amherst,  pp.  369-370)  also  page  406,  where  his  name  ap- 
pears in  the  list  of  soldiers  and  sailors  from  Amherst  in  the  war  for  inde- 
pendence. Vol.  i,  1885,  Nevj  Hampshire  State  Papers  Revolutionary  Rolls,  shows 
pay  roll  of  Capt.  Josiah  Crosby's  company  in  Col.  James  Reed's  regiment 
to  the  1st  of  August,  1775,  9th  Co.,  to-wit: 

"57.  Joseph  Wakefield,  rank,  private;  time  of  entry,  April  23;  time  in  service,  3 
months  and  16  days;  amount  of  wages,  £7  ;is  lOrf.  Number  of  miles  traveled  at  Id,  75,  6.

The  same  volume  also  shows  receipt  of  Joseph  Wakefield  to  Timothy 

Walker,  jr.,  for  $4  in  full  satisfaction  for  regimental  coat  promised  by  the 

colony  of  New  Hampshire,  which  is  dated  October  12.  1775.  After  his  death 

his  widow  made  application  for  a  pension,  which  is  on  file  at  the  Bureau  of 

Pensions  at  Washington,  D.  C.  which  shows  that  Joseph  Wakefield  served 

eight  months  in  Captain  Crosby's  company  in  1775,  as  a  private,  that  in 

1777,  he  served  at  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  one  month  as  sergeant.     He  rendered 

other  service  in  the  Revolution,  and  held  ranks  of  orderly  sergeant  and 

sergeant  major. 

The  Government  publication  of  the  list  of  suspended  and  rejected  (Revolutionary) 
pensions, contains  the  following  interesting  record;  ■'Wakefield.  Relief,  widow  of  Joseph,

and  died  in  .Jefferson  county,  N.  Y.,  March  17,  1837.  Tradition  states  that

Our  researches  devoted  to  finding  of  official  Revolutionary  War  records 
to  correspond  with  the  family  traditions,  regarding  the  services  of  .Joseph 
Wakefield,  have  not  been  thoroughly  satisfactory.  The  record  of  his  later 
services,  while  really  of  greater  importance  than  those  rendered  while  a  res- 
ident of  Amherst,  N;H.,  are  the  most  difficult  to  identify.  While  a  resident 
of  Dunstable,  Mass.,  and  vicinity,  after  his  marriage,  which  occurred  in 
November  of  1777,  Josejjh  Wakefield  may  heive  rendered  military  services 
to  the  colonies,  from  either  Middlesex  or  Hampshire  counties,  having  been 
located  near  the  boundary  lines  until  his  removal  to  Windsor  in  1798,  and 
the  following  transcripts  from  the  lievolutionary  War  Archives  of  Massachu- 
setts, may  be  the  official  records  of  such  military  services:

sworn,  on  oath  says,  that  he  is  a  grandson  of  Joseph  Wakefield,  .sr. ;  that  he  used  to  hear 
quite  frequently  his  father,  Peter  Wakefield,  and  the  other  children  of  said  Joseph 
Wakefield,  sr.,  speak  of  their  said  father  being  in  the  American  Army  during  the  war  of 
the  Revolution,  as  orderly  sergeant  and  later  as  sergeant  major. 

That  he  has  often  seen  and  handled  the  spear  or  spontoon  which  his  said  grand- 
father used  as  orderly  sergeant,  and  heard  the  children  of  said  Joseph,  sr.,  speak  of  the 
sword  carried  by  his  said  grandfather,  while  a  sergeant  major,  and  which  was  kept  in 
the  family  for  many  years,  but  was  finally  lost  or  destroyed. 

That  some  twenty  odd  years  ago  he  visited  his  aunt.  Mrs.  Relief  (Wakefield)  Hawk- 
ins, daughter  of  said  Joseph  Wakefield,  sr.,  then  living  in  western  New  York,  and  was 
told  by  her  that  she  had  many  times  seen  said  sword,  and  it  was  acknowledged  to  be  the 
weapon  carried  by  her  said  father  while  an  ofticer,  as  aforesaid  in  the  Revolutionary  war.

ruary 2(),  1837;  he  died  May  6,  1842.  He  opened  a  farm  in  1801,  in  the  then 
wilderness  near  Watertown,  N.  Y.,  where  he  resided  during  the  remainder 
of  his  life.  He  was  a  democrat  in  politics  and  a  Universalist  in  religious 
faith.  Charles  Richardson,  of  Watertown,  brother  of  his  son  Cyrenius' 
wife,  says: 

"Joseph  Wakefield,  as  I  recollect  him,  was  a  man  five  feet  eleven  or  six  feet  in  height, 
rather  stooping  or  round  shouldered,  lean  and  wirv  in  appearance,  somewhat  angular  in 
form,  with  dark  eyes,  hair  and  beard,  though  quite  gray  and  bald  at  my  earliest  recollec- 
tion of  him.  about  1828,  he  at  that  time  being  under  fifty  years  of  age.  He  was  a  very 
industrious,  systematic,  and  thrifty  farmer  in  his  dav.  and  a  man  of  strictest  integrity 
and  honor.  He  was  a  Universalist  and  a  disbeliever  in  the  infamous  dogma  of  a  literal 
burning  hell,  at  a  time  when  such  belief  with  manj^of  his  neighbors  and  others,  of  course, 
thought  it  outright  heresy.  It  was  a  common  saying  with  believers  that  no  Universalist 
died  in  his  faith,  always  renouncing  it  at  the  approach  of  death.  In  reply  to  this  it  was 
often  said  'Uncle  Joe  Wakefield  won't  renounce  his  religion  at  death  or  any  other  time.' 
He  was  elected  justice  of  the  peace  for  his  town  and  ever  after  was  called  'Squire  Wake- 
field.' "  Judge  Lorenzo  Sawyer,  of  California,  in  1890.  wrote  of  his  Aunt  Susan  (Sawyer) 
Wakefield;  "She  was  a  superb  woman,  built  on  the  model  of  her  mother  physically, 
mentally,  and  morally,  who  was  a  jewel  of  a  woman.  Everybody  respected  and  loved 
her.  "  Of  her  mother  Judge  Sawyer  wrote:  "She  was  a  sterling  woman,  one  of  the  salt 
of  the  earth."

May  29,  1813.  He  was  so  distinguished  for  his  uprightness  and  honesty  that 
his  obituary,  published  at  his  death  in  the  Watertown,  I'imes,  titled  it  with 
the  quotation,  "An  honest  man  is  the  noblest  workof  God."  In  order  to

Nancy  (Temple)  Wakefield  died  at  Reading,  November  18,  1873,  "a 
woman  loved  and  respected  for  her  virtues,  by  a  large  circle  of  friends,  but 
better  known  and  appreciated  in  the  home  she  had  adorned  for  more  than 
fift}'  years,  in  the  faithful  discharge  of  her  duties  as  wife  and  mother." 

Rev.  Dr.  William  Barrows  at  the  funeral  of  Deacon  Caleb  Wakefield, 
said  of  him: 

•'Deacon  Wakefield  was  a  man  of  very  strong  convictions.  Doing  liis  own  thinking 
and  liaving  convictions  tliat  were  his  own,  with  a  large  moral  element  and  sense  of  right 
in  his  nature,  he  was  prone  to  be  firm  and  persistent  in  his  positions.  He  was  much  like 
one  of  our  pasture  oaks,  alwaj's  ahout  in  the  same  place  with  its  open  welcome  shade  for 
the  flocks  in  the  summer  arid  with  its  stern  bald  limbs  in  the  winter  storms,  patiently, 
confidently,  waiting  for  the  l^uds  and  leaves  and  flocks  to  return,  and  tliey  always  came 
back.  He  was  als'u  a  progressive  man;  open  to  information  and  conviction,  few  men 
knew  Ijetter  when  to  give  up.  drop  the  old  and  take  the  new.  Very  few  men  of  his  years 
have  kept  so  near  to  the  front  and  among  the  young  men  of  the  times, 

■'Deacon  Wakefield  was  a  man  of  deep  and  strong  symjiathies  and  of  tender  feelings, 
but  outside  of  his  own  'family,  where  those  sympathies  centered  and  culminated  in  the 
model  christian  household  of  the  fathers,  his  strong,  sympathetic  nature  laid  hold  of 
principles  and  policies  and  institutions,  rather  than  persons  and  individuals.  He  was 
more  deeply  interested  in  the  community  than  in  individual  families  and  single,  separate 
members.  What  to  the  careless  observer,  or  men  of  emotion  and  excitement,  might 
seem  to  Ije  coolness,  or  apathy,  was  comprehensiveness  in  his  interest.  It  was  too  wide, 
too  deep,  to  show  the  local  and  temporarj'  prominence  of  a  more  limited  nature.  Hence, 
probabh'  for  fifty  years,  no  one  man  did  more  to  shape  the  interests  of  the  community 
and  aid'and  lead  in  those  growths,  financial  education,  moral  and  religious,  that  are  an 
honor  to  the  town.  His  tender  and  sympathetic  qualities  worked  in  a  general  and  whole- 
sale waj'  for  the  people  rather  than  for  persons;  he  felt  more  for  the  whole  town  than  for 
any  section  or  class  in  it. 

"Deacon  Wakefield  was  a  leading  man.  This  was  natural,  inevitable,  and  proper,  and 
the  process  was  very  simple.  He  merely  foresaw  what  was  needed,  and  then  showed  it  in 
a  plain,  common-sense  way.  When  the  plans  of  his  foresight  commended  themselves  to 
the  people  they  adopted  those  plans  and  him  as  a  leader.  He  did  his  thinking  over  his 
broad-axe  and  saw,  and  inevitable  immutable  square.  He  did  it  following  his  plow,  or 
solitary  among  the  pine  trees  that  he  loved  so  well.  Afterward  he  put  his  ideas  simply 
to  others,  and  they  liked  them  and  adopted  them,  and  so  he  was  a  leading  man,  more  or 
less,  in  this  community  for  seventy  years  For  this  reason  men  turned  toward  him.  and 
after  him.  just  as  any  little  brook  bound  for  the  ocean  strikes  for  the  nearst  big  river. 

"Deacon  Wakefield  was  a  good  neighbor.  He  was  wise  in  counsel,  he  was  charitable 
with  his  hand;  and  wa-i  a  comforter  in  fiis  works  for  the  afflicted.  The  orphan,  the  young 
man,  and  the  widow  sought  his  advice,  and  the  more  the^^  used  it  the  more  grateful  they 
were  for  it.  He  often  stood  between  the  living  and  the  dead  and  executed  sacred  trusts; 
and  the  metes  and  bounds  he  has  set  for  others  very  few  have  had  occasion  to  question  or 
move."

Eighth  Generation. 


Mr.  Wakefield  enlisted,  August  25,  1864,  at  Greensburg",  Ohio,  in  com- 
pany G,  177th  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry,   and  served  at  Nashville,  Tenn., 

Fort  Fisher, Wilmington,  N.  C.,  and 
other  battles  of  the  War  of  the  Re- 
bellion. He  was  discharged  August 
14,  18()5.  Some  years  of  his  life 
were  passed  at  North  Bloomfield, 
Ohio,  and  some  pleasant  memories 
remain  of  a  home  near  Troy,  N.  Y. 
In  the  fall  of  1863,  the  future  pro- 
fessor for  the  first  time  saw  the 
old  Eclectic  Institute  at  Hiram, 
and  for  a  year  he  was  a  student 
there.  In  1870  he  graduated  at 
Hiram  (College  with  the  degree  of 
A.B.  After  the  war,  in  18()6.  he 
returned  to  Hiram.  Excepting  one 
year,  passed  at  Bethany  College, 
among  associations  which  he  has  al- 
ways greatly  prized,  he  remained 
steadfastly  at  Hiram  as  professor 
of  natural  science,  remaining  two 
years.  In  the  meantime  he  served 
one  season  as  a  member  of  the 
United  States  Geological  Survey, 
under  Dr.  F.  V.  Hayden,  exploring 
with  the  original  party,  the  then 
distant  wonders  of  the  Yellowstone 
National  Park. 

In  1873,  Mr.  Wakefield  became 
pastor  of  the  churches  at  North 
Bloomfield  and  North  Bristol,  close  by  his  family  home,  and  here  he  re- 
mained ten  years.  In  1883,  he  became  pastor  of  the  church  in  Warren. 
Under  his  pastorate  the  new^  church  at  that  place  was  built,  and  there 
many  of  the  dearest  associations  of  his  life  were  gathered,  and  ever  must 
remain.  In  1890,  Mr.  Wakefield  was  elected  to  the  chair  of  law  and  politi- 
cal economy  in  Hiram  College,  and  his  later  life  here  needs  no  record.

February  14,  1811,  at  Roxbury,  N.  H.;  married  October  31,   1841,  Eliza  A., 


Posterity  of  John  Wakefield  of  Boston. 


only  daughter  of  Captain  Henry  and  Eliza  (Motty)  Bancroft,  who  was  born 
September  26,  1822,  and  died  November  — ,  1877.  She  was  a  granddaughter 
of  Lieut.  James  and  Sarah  (Parsons)  Bancroft,  the  former  of  Revolu- 
tionary war  fame;  and  on  her  mother's  side,  of  Rev.  Joseph  and  Eliza 
(Moody)  Motty,  of  Lynfield,  Mass. 

The  following  sketch  of  his  life  is  abridged  from  Eaton's  History  of 
Beading,  Mass.:  The  early  associations  of  Cyrus  Wakefield  were  those  con- 
nected with  the  rugged  discipline  of  a  New  England  farm  boy.  He  made 
the  best  use  of  the  school,  a  mile  and  a  half  from  his  home  over  the  hills, 
and  by  applying  himself  with  great  zeal  to  his  studies  early  mastered  the 
rudiments  of  the  common  school.  There  were  numberless  projects  in  his 
busy  child  brain,  to  the  accomplishment  of  which  he  bent  not  only  his  own  but 


CYRUS  WAhE FIELD,  1st, 


also  the  abilities  of  his  brothers.  He  was  an  enthusiastic  lover  of  nature 
and  an  acknowledged  leader  in  all  athletic  sports.  The  success  of  friends, 
gone  to  other  states,  kindled  in  his  own  bosom  a  generous  emulation.  He 
first  entered  a  cotton  mill  at  Petersborough,  N.H.,  as  a  picker  boy,  where  the 
rosy  hues  of  his  ideal  world  were  dissipated  and  he  soon  returned  to  the  old 
homestead.  His  father  next  sent  him  to  live  with  a  clergyman,  to  study  the- 
ology, but  a  few  days'  reading  of  the  controversy  between  Calvin  and  Armin- 
ius  satisfied  him  that  he  could  not  settle  the  dispute.  He  returned  home,  and, 
after  a  few  more  futile  attempts  to  find  congenial  employment  near  home, 
at  the  age  of  15  years,  with  his  parents'  consent,  he  went  to  Boston  and  en- 
tered a  retail  grocery  store,  but  soon  after  secured  a  clerkship  with  Messrs. 
Stearns,  Cobb  &  Winslow,    His  aim  was  to  earn  sufficient  money  to  allow 


Eighth  Generation. 


him  to  pursue  his  studies  in  some  established  school,  but  when  at  length  he 
had  saved  $1,000,  the  desire  for  money  became  still  stronger  and  he  bent  his 
energies  more  strongly  than  ever  to  the  accumulation  of  property.  This 
step  he  regretted  in  after  life.  He  did  not  wholly  lose  sight  of  his  original 
purpose,  but  attended  evening  school  and  various  debating  societies  and 


TOWN   HALL,   WAnEf/tLO,  MASS, 
The  gift  of  Cyrus  Wakefield,  1st,  February  22,  1871, 


scientific  lectures,  and  thus  laid  the  foundation  of  the  general  knowledge  he 
possessed. 

In  1834  he  entered  the  grocery  business,  under  the  firm  name  of  Foster 
&  Wakefield.  In  1836  the  firm  was  dissolved  and  he  formed  a  co-partner- 
ship with  his  brother  Enoch,  under  the  name  of  Wakefield  &  Co.,  which 
continued  until  1844.  A  favorable  purchase  of  a  small  lot  of  rattans  led 
him  to  open  an  office  where  he  carried  on  a  jobbing  trade  in  rattan.     The

Posterity  of  John  Wakefield  of  Boston. 


demand  for  split  rattan  for  seating  chairs  increased  until  his  importations 
of  Canton  split  rattan  were  known  throughout  the  United  States.  This 
branch  of  the  trade  was  suspended  for  a  time  during  the  opium  war,  and 
in  1856  he  resolved  to  begin  the  manufacture  of  cane  in  this  country,  and 
use  the  whole  of  the  material.  He  began  with  two  machines,  worked  by 
hand,  in  Boston.     A  fortunate  speculation,  by  the  purchase,  in  New  York

city,  of  all  the  available  lots  of  rattan  then  offered,  gave  him  both  credit 
and  capital,  and  soon  after  he  removed  his  works  to  South  Reading,  and 
his  business  grew  until  at  the  time  of  his  death,  his  manufactories  and 
storehouses  covered  an  area  of  ten  acres  of  floorage.  He  made  profitable 
purchases  of  real   estate  in   South  Reading,  changing  low  swamps   and 


Eighth  Generation.  75 


meadows  into  valuable  building-  lots.  In  1867  he  gave  to  the  town  a  lot  of 
land  and  a  cash  contribution  of  $30,000  for  a  new  town  house  in  which  pro- 
vision should  be  made  for  a  soldier's  memorial  hall,  and  the  town  accepting 
the  offer  voted  to  chang-e  its  name  to  Wakefield,  which  new  name  was 
finally  adopted  July  4,  1868,  by  appropriate  and  interesting  exercises.  He 
more  than  quadrupled  the  cost  of  the  edifice  and  surrendered  the  keys 
February  22,  1871.  He  did  much  to  induce  settlement  in  Wakefield,  and 
favored  better  school  houses  and  enlarged  facilities  for  instruction,  and 
inaugurated  a  course  of  free  lectures  on  scientific  subjects  for  the  masses. 
He  was  interested  and  a  leader  in  various  local  enterprises  and  improve- 
ments. He  was  also  interested  in  real  estate  and  improvements  in  Boston, 
and  was  a  director  in  several  railroads.  He  had  also  conceived  important 
plans  which  death  prevented  him  from  executing.  He  was  a  man  of  iron 
will  and  resolute  purpose,  combined  with  great  physical  endurance.  En- 
ergy, perseverance,  and  indomitable  courage  in  the  face  of  almost  in- 
superable obstacles,  were  his  prominent  characteristics.  He  had  a  keen 
perception,  and  results  that  other  men  reached  by  hard  thought  seemed  to 
intuitively  come  to  him.  He  knew  human  nature  thoroughly,  and  could 
read  a  man  at  a  glance.  To  those  who  knew  him  best  he  revealed  at  times 
a  warm,  genial,  and  tender  nature,  though  to  a  stranger  he  might  seem 
distant.  He  was  charitable,  cheering  the  hearts  of  the  poor  with  his  gen- 
erous gifts.  His  character  and  deeds  are  thus  epitomized  in  the  resolution 
adopted  by  his  fellow  citizens  on  the  evening  after  his  death:  "The  valu- 
able citizen,  the  prosperous  merchant,  the  progressive  and  intellectual 
leader  in  ornamental  and  architectural  improvements,  the  friend  and 
helper  of  education,  the  chief  promoter  of  our  local  noble  industrial  pur- 
suits, our  munificent  namesake,  whose  numerous  and  generous  benefactions 
will  remain  his  enduring  memorials."  He  had  no  children  and  his  wife, 
who  survived  him  but  four  years,  left  the  homestead  to  his  nephew.  Cyrus

man,  5  feet  11  inches  in  height,  strong,  broad  shouldered,  and  active,  and

their  home,  April  13,  1856.  He  married,  secondly,  February  18,  1858,  Mrs. 
Susan  N.  (Cleveland)  Howard,  who  died  at  Grand  Island,  Neb.,  November 
8,  1885,  and  was  daughter  of  Moses  and  Polly  Cleveland;  born  February  26, 
1807.  He  was  commissioned  justice  of  the  peace  August  31,  1839,  for  a 
term  of  four  years,  and  also  served  his  town  as  assessor  and  treasurer.  The 
Clinton  Public  of  May  8,  1885,  said  of  him: 

"In  his  boyhood  days  Orin  Wakefield  worked  in  summer  on  his  father's  farm  and 
in  winter  attended  school.  He  thereby  obtained  a  good  common  school  education,  and 
thereafter  taught  a  few  terms  of  school  in  the  neighborhood.  After  reaching  manhood 
he  obtained  for  a  time  employment  in  Sackett'.s  Harbor,  where  he  displayed  and  culti- 
vated that  literary  taste,  that  love  of  books,  which  marked  his  after  life.  Here  he  had 
access  to  a  library  of  classic  literature  with  which  he  occupied  his  leisure  hours.  So 
well  did  he  apply  himself,  that  often  in  after  years,  in  his  western  home  where  books 
were  scarce,  he  would  from  memory  amuse  and  instruct  his  children,  by  relating  facts  of

history,  by  telling  the  wondrous  stories  of  Homer,  and  by  reciting  choice  selections  of 
prose  and  verse.  His  life  in  this  county  is  a  part  of  its  history.  He  held  several  offices 
in  DeWitt  township,  though  not  a  seelier  after  oftice,  and  discharged  every  trust  reposed 
in  him  with  ability  and  fidelity.  In  business  he  was  straightforward  and  fair,  and  his 
word  was  as  good"  as  his  bond.  In  the  pursuit  of  his  chosen  vocation,  as  a  farmer,  he 
wrought  from  his  goodly  farm  and  enjoyed  a  competence.  He  made  no  will,  as  he 
thought  the  law  made  a  just  distribution  of  a  mans  estate.  He  was  a  Republican  in 
politics  and  cordially  supported  good  government. 

"He  was  very  careful  in  the  training  and  education  of  his  children,  to  whom  he  was 
especially  devoted.  As  husband  and  father,  he  was  always  liind,  considerate,  and  loving. 
His  attachment  for  his  friends,  his  relatives,  and  family  was  pure,  true,  and  tender  as  a 
mother's  love.  He  was  quiet  and  unobtrusive  in  his  manner,  yet  he  had  the  courage  to 
form  his  own  opinions  and  stand  Ijy  them,  regardless  of  popular  favor.  He  was  temper- 
ate and  wallsed  a  free  man.  Though  he  was  not  formally  a  member  of  any  church,  yet  he 
was  in  belief  a  Universalist,  and  in  life  and  conduct,  a  Christian  gentlemen— an  exemplar 
of  that  'pure  religion'  defined  by  St.  James.  His  heart  ever  went  (jut  in  strong  sym- 
pathy for  the  poor  and  oppressed.  Daring  many  years  of  his  life,  no  man  ever  called  at 
his  door  for  food  or  shelter  without  receiving  it.  No  man  ever  had  a  gentler,  sweeter, 
lovelier  spirit  than  he.  His  life  was  such,  that  when  his  summons  came  to  join  the  in- 
numerable caravan,  that  take  their  chambers  in  the  silent  halls  of  death,  he  went  sus- 
tained and  soothed  by  an  unfaltering  trust.  He  died  sweetly  and  peacefully,  as  the  dews 
fall  from  heaven,  and  as  fearlessly  as  one  draws  the  drapery  of  his  couch  about  him  and 
lies  down  to  pleasant  dreams."

Robert  McCord.  of  Peekskill.  N.  Y.,  writes:  "JamesiMaccord,  about  1689,  was  a  high- 
lander  and  chief  of  his  clan.  He  was  killed  at  the  battle  of  Killecrankie  Pass,  m  Scot- 
land, during  the  Revolution.  His  son.  John  Maccord,  took  part  in  the  numerous  wars  and 
died  about  1715-17.  His  sons  were  John,  David,  William,  Robert,  Samuel,  Benjamin,  and 
James.  These,  after  the  death  of  their  father,  went  to  Stewart's  Town,  County  Tyrone, 
Ireland.  John.  David,  and  William  went  to  Pennsylvania,  about  1720,  and  John  after- 
wards went  to  North  Carolina.  David  and  William  were  killed  by  Indians.  Their  father, 
John  Maccord,  was  born  in  Argyle,  Skve,  Scotland.  His  coat-of-arms  was  a  shield,  gold 
and  black  with  three  hearts  and  three  lance  heads  on  it,  surmounted  by  a  closed  helmet.

father  and  attended  the  country  school,  finishing  at  the  Watertown  Acad- 
emy, after  which  he  taught  school  in  Jefferson  county  for  a  few  years, 
when  he  accepted  a  position  as  member  of  the  faculty  of  an  acad- 
emy or  seminary  at  Montgomery,  Ala.     Here  he  taught  for  some  years,

teaching  during  the  day,  and  writing  evenings  in  a  city  public  office, 
where  he  earned  enough  to  support  himself,  enabling  him  to  save  up  his 
entire  salary,  received  for  the  professorship.  Having  saved  a  competency, 
he  resigned  his  position  and  removed  to  Cincinnati,  O.,  where  he  entered 
an  Eclectic  medical  college,  which  must  have  been  the  Physio-Medical 
College  or  the  American  Medical  College,  the  former  having  been  organ- 
ized in  1836  and  the  latter  in  1839.  (Neither  have  preserved  alumni  lists.) 
After  graduation  he  removed  to  Pine  Bluff,  Ark.,  where  he  practiced  for  a 
short  time,  then  removing  to  Union  county,  where  he  had  some  acquaint- 
ances, he  settled  about  five  miles  from  Eldorado,  in  that  county. 

About  the  time  of  the  collapse  of  the  Arkansas  State  Bank  and  other 
"wild-cat"  institutions,  he  had  converted  his  real  estate  in  that  locality 


DR.  ZERA   WAKEFIELD, 


into  currency,  which  soon  proved  to  be  worthless,  leaving  him  penniless. 
Sick  at  heart,  though  not  discouraged,  he  built  himself  a  log  office  on 
which  he  hung  his  professional  sign  and  began  anew,  in  a  new  locality,  and 
without  means,  to  practice  his  profession.  His  meagre  quarters  and  shabby 
clothing  did  not  command  for  him  a  patronage  among  the  best  families, 
however  his  unusual  ability  and  professional  success  were  soon  recognized, 
and  he  finally  became  the  most  prominent  physician  in  the  county. 

It  is  said  that  during  his  first  year  he  entered  government  land  and  cul- 
tivated it  himself,  which  did  much  to  tide  him  over  until  he  had  become 

professionally  established.     He  married  a  widow, Neal,  a  lady  of 

culture  and  refinement,  belonging  to  a  fine  old  family  of  Montgomery,  Ala.,

from  which  city,  she  removed  to  Union  county,  Ark.  By  her  he  had  one 
child,  a  daug'hter,  Victoria  Adelaide,  who  died  when  about  three  and  one- 
half  years  old,  and  is  interred  by  the  side  of  her  mother,  who  died  shortly 
after,  in  private  grounds  about  live  miles  from  Eldorado. 

While  a  citizen  of  Union  county  he  was  highly  esteemed.  He  was 
elected  to  the  office  of  county  judge  of  Union  county,  which  he  held  for  sev- 
eral years,  being  finally  obliged  to  resign  on  account  of  the  pressure  of  his 
professional  work.  For  the  same  reason  he  declined  the  nomination  of  the 
Democratic  party  for  state  senator,  which  would  have  been  equivalent  to 
an  election,  in  that  state.  During  the  Texan  war  for  independence  he  was 
tendered  the  post  of  surgeon  in  the  Revolutionary  army,  which  he  accord- 
ingly declined. 

In  1845  he  went  to  Illinois  and  visited  his  brother,  Cyrenius,  who  was 
then  located  at  Point  Isabelle,  in  DeWitt  county,  also  called  "Yankee 
Town,"  owing  to  it  having  been  a  settlement  of  eastern  people,  but  now  the 
station  of  Fullerton  on  the  Illinois  Central  railroad.  While  on  this  visit 
he  became  so  impressed  with  the  superior  resources  of  Illinois  that  he  em- 
ployed his  cousin,  Hon.  Josephus  Wakefield,  who  was  then  living  in  Water- 
town,  N.  Y.,  to  go  to  Arkansas  to  settle  up  his  affairs  there,  dispose  of  his 
property  interests,  and  pack  and  ship  his  personal  effects.  For  some  time 
he  made  his  home  with  his  brother,  Cyrenius,  who  was  then  living  on  and 
managing  his  country  estate  at  Point  Isabelle,  and  conducting  a  general 
merchandise  store  at  that  place. 

At  the  time  of  his  removal  to  Illinois,  the  prairie  state  was  an  un- 
drained  land,  and  all  of  the  lowlands  were  marshy,  which  resulted  in  the 
great  prevalence  there  of  miasmatic  diseases.  Dr.  Wakefield's  great  suc- 
cess in  the  treatment  of  this  class  of  ailments  soon  gained  for  him  a  large 
practice,  extending  over  nearly  the  entire  state,  and  many  young  men  also 
sought  him  for  medical  education,  in  which  he  proved  so  successful,  that 
during  his  entire  career  in  Illinois  there  was  no  time  that  he  did  not 
have  from  one-half  to  a  dozen  students  under  his  tutorage.  In  a  short 
time  his  practice  grew  to  such  proportions  that  it  was  impossible  for 
him,  with  the  assistance  of  his  more  advanced  students,  to  give  personal 
attention  to  the  increasing  number  of  patients  who  were  commanding  his 
attention.  As  a  result  of  this,  his  senior  pupil,  his  brother  Cyrenius,  and  he 
formed  a  co-partnership  for  the  practice  and  manufacture  of  medicine.  An 
additional  building  was  erected,  and  a  stock  of  drugs  purchased.  The 
drug  store  was  presided  over  by  his  brother  Cyrenius,  who  put  up  the  doc- 
tor's prescriptions  in  quantity,  and  bottled  and  labelled  them,  with  the  doc- 
tor's directions,  and  soon  an  increasing  demand  from  Illinois  and  surrounding 
states  developed  an  industry  which  has  since  grown  to  extend  over  the 
entire  United  States,  Canada,  and  to  some  extent  in  England  and  the  con- 
tinent of  Europe,  and  in  1896  celebrated  its  anniversary  of  half  a  century. 

In  April,  1848,  he  married  Miss  Adelaide  Dodson,  of  Leroy,  111.,  and  at 
once  began  the  erection  of  a  modern  home,  and  June  20,  on  the  completion 
of  it,  while  engaged  in  furnishing  it,  preparatory  to  moving  in,  he  took  a 
very  severe  cold,  followed  by  pneumonia,  which  resulted  in  death  in  the 
space  of  thirty-six  hours,  notwithstanding  the  most  excellent  medical  at- 
tention and  skillful  nursing.     He  died  June  22,  1848. 

On  the  dissolution  of  the  partnership  at  his  death,  the  widow  being  the 
sole  heir,  disposed  of  her  interests  to  Cyrenius,  who  developed  the  business 
to  its  present  proportions.  Thereupon  Cyrenius  removed  the  drug  store  to 
Bloomington  and  continued  with  great  success,  the  manufacturing  medicine 
business,  which  originated  as  above  stated.  The  widow  married  again, 
and  removed  to  the  northern  part  of  the  state. 

Dr.  Zera  Wakefield  was  a  very  tall  and  portly  gentleman,  over  six  feet 
in  height,  and  weighed  between  225  and  230  pounds.  He  had  dark  and  very 
expressive  eyes,  complexion  as  fair  as  that  of  a  woman,  and  was  emphatic- 
ally a  handsome  man.  He  possessed,  in  an  eminent  degree,  the  faculty  of 
making  friends  and  shaming  enemies.  He  was  positive  in  his  convictions, 
though  not  stubborn,  yet  no  one  could  be  more  ready  to  acknowledge  an  error, 
when  convinced  that  he  was  wrong.  He  died  at  the  zenith  of  his  success  and 
in  the  prime  of  life.  No  man  at  death  was  more  universally  lamented  than 
he.    In  politics  he  was  a  consistent  democrat,  and  in  religion  a  Universalist.

He  was  a  very  temperate  man,  and  not  only  set  a  good  example  to  his  asso- 
ciates, but  he  circulated  temperance  pledges,  and  was  very  successful  in  ob- 
taining signatures.

John,^  John,'^  John,^),  son  of  Joseph  and  Susan  (Sawj^er)  Wakefield;  born  on 
the  country  estate  of  his  father,  near  Watertown,  N.  Y.,  July  12,  1815, 
where  he  was  reared  unto  manhood.  He  attended  the  district  school  and 
assisted  his  father  in  husbandry  until  early  manhood,  when  he  went  to 
Watertown  and  attended  the  Watertown  Academj/,  where  he  graduated  in 
1837,  after  which  he  spent  two  years  teaching  school  in  the  immediate  vi- 
cinity of  Watertown,  from  fall  until  spring,  and  assisted  his  father  during 
the  summer. 

Now  at  the  age  of  24  years,  with  $100  presented  to  him  by  his  father,  he 
set  out  to  win  his  fortune  in  the  new  West,  bidding  farewell  to  his  old  home 
and  his  fiance,  Harriet  Richardson,  an  old  schoolmate  and  neighbor,  he 
made  his  way  as  best  he  could  in  that  early  day,  there  being  no  railroads 
and  the  ice  of  a  late  spring  having  made  lake  travel  impossible,  he  traveled 
overland  to  Chicago,  thence  by  stage  to  LaSalle,  steamboat  down  the  Illi- 
nois river  to  Pekin,  and,  then  having  arranged  to  have  his  trunk  carried  by 
ox  team,  he  therewith  reached  Bloomington,  a  distance  of  forty  miles  on 
foot,  and  finally  the  farm  of  his  brother,  Orin,  who  had  previously  located 
thirty  miles  south  of  Bloomington,  near  the  village  of  Marian,  in  DeWitt 
county.  Here  he  labored  on  a  farm  until  November,  when  he  accepted  a 
school  three  miles  east  of  Bloomington,  where  he  taught  for  fifteen  months. 
In  May,  1839,  he  returned  to  DeWitt,  where  he  made  his  first  purchase  of 
real  estate,  eighty  acres  of  land,  and  began  at  once  to  improve  it. 

In  the  fall  of  1810,  he  returned  to  visit  his  kinfolk  and  friends  at 
Watertown,  N.  Y.,  where  he  took  a  school  and  taught  until  the  following 
spring.  Returning  then  by  the  lake  route,  to  DeWitt,  he  taught  school  at 
Diamond  Grove,  in  Downs  township,  nine  months,  after  which  he  taught  in 
Marian  village  until  the  spring  of  1843,  when  he  built  a  good  frame  house 
on  his  farm  and  went  back  to  Watertown,  N.  Y.,  and  was  married,  August 
17,  to  Harriet,  daughter  of  Josiah  and  Cynthia  (Tolman)  Richardson.  While 
in  Watertown,  at  this  time,  he  also  shared  with  his  stepmother,  sister,  and 
five  brothers,  in  a  division  of  the  estate  of  his  father,  who  had  died  May  5 
of  the  previous  year,  receiving  as  his  balance  due,  $500.  Two  weeks  after 
his  marriage  he,  with  his  bride,  started  over  the  lake  route,  for  their  new 
home  in  Illinois,  where  they  arrived  after  a  month's  journey. 

In  1845,  he  was  visited  by  his  elder  brother  Zera,  who  being  favorably 
impressed  with  the  location  of  Cyrenius  and  the  bright  prospects  of  the 
country,  went  to  New  York  and  bought  a  stock  of  goods  and  returning  in  the 
fall,  a  building  was  erected  and  a  general  store  started  on  Cyrenius'  estate, 
facing  the  intersection  in  the  main  roads  about  a  hundred  yards  north  of  the 
present  Illinois  Central  railroad  station  of  FuUerton.  His  practice  rapidly 
extended,  so  that  he  soon  found  it  impossible  to  personally  attend  to  one-half 
of  his  calls.  Where  it  was  impossible  for  him  to  personally  visit  patients  he 
was  called  upon  to  send  out  his  successful  medicines,  with  written  directions. 
He  constantly  had  a  number  of  medical  students  under  his  instruction, 
and  among  the  most  ardent,  was  his  brother,  Cyrenius,  who  was  instructed 
in  both  pharmacy  and  medicine,  and  he  was  at  once  pressed  into  service, 
preparing  the  doctor's  prescriptions  in  quantity,  which  were  duly  sent  out  to 
applicants  all  over  the  state.  The  two  brothers  were  in  partnership  in  the 
general  mercantile  trade  and  farming,  both  having  invested  their  private 
interests  together.  The  medicine  manufacturing  business  became  so  great 
that  the  general  mercantile  department  was  gradually  closed  up,  the  medi- 
cal laboratory  succeeding  to  its  store  rooms.  Printed  labels  and  directions 
were  procured,  and  agents  were  established  throughout  the  state,  for  the 
convenience  of  patrons.

About  June  1,  1848,  an  agent  was  started  with  a  team  and  a  specially 
devised  wagon  to  travel  through  Iowa  establishing  agencies.  Up  to  this 
time,  dwelling  and  laboratories  had  been  enlarged,  and  the  demands  on  the 
two  brothers  in  both  active  practice  and  medicine  manufacturing  was 
great.  On  the  20th  day  of  June,  directly  after  his  marriage,  and  every 
prospect  for  the  future  was  the  brightest.  Dr.  Zera  Wakefield  was  taken 
with  a  severe  cold,  followed  by  a  congestive  chill  and  death  in  thirty-six 
hours,  notwithstanding  the  best  efforts  of  admiring  physicians  and  his  stu- 
dents to  the  contrary.  After  his  decease,  it  was  found  that  his  widow  was 
the  sole  heir  to  his  estate,  so  his  brother  Cyrenius  bought  from  her  his 
brother's  half  interest  in  the  partnership. 

Cyrenius,  now  the  sole  owner  of  the  business,  in  the  fall  of  1849,  after 
returning  from  a  visit  at  his  old  home  in  Watertown,  N.  Y.,  he  disposed  of 
his  farm    property   and    removed    to   Bloomington,   where  he  purchased

ground  including  the  west  two-thirds  of  the  block  facing  the  south  side  of 
the  public  square,  and  a  two-story  frame  building  and  stable  on  the  site  of 
his  later  Phoenix  Hall  building.  On  the  1  st  of  the  following  February  (1850) , 
he  moved  his  family  into  the  second  story,  the  storeroom  below  was  utilized 
as  a  drug  store,  and  erecting  a  building  on  the  vacant  ground  adjoining,  the 
first  Bloomington  medicine  manufactory  was  established.  The  drug  store  did 
a  handsome  business,  and  the  medicine  manufacturing  business  constantly 
increased.  The  following  spring  (1851)  he  purchased  a  store  building  and 
moved  it  on  his  ground  adjoining  his  previous  purchase  on  the  west  and 
moved  his  drug  stock  into  it.  In  the  summer  he  purchased  the  property, 
506  East  Washington  street,  built  a  two-story  house  and  moved  in  before 
winter.  The  following  February  (1852)  the  house  took  fire  and  burned 
down,  a  complete  loss,  having  had  no  insurance  on  it.  However,  he  rebuilt 
at  once  with  brick  and  moved  into  it  in  the  autumn. 


84  Posterity  of  John  Wakefield  of  Boston. 


On  June  12,  1851,  Dr.  Wakefield  founded  the  Illinois  State  Bulletin,  a  seven 
column  folio,  weekly  newspaper,  Avhich,  according'  to  its  title  page,  was  "de- 
voted to  Democracy,  Agriculture,  Arts,  Sciences,  Moral,  Social,  Intellec- 
tual, and  Political  progress  and  general  news,"  and  was  published,  according 
to  the  issue  of  Saturday  morning,  September  11,  1852,  on  Washington  street 
immediately  opposite  the  court  house,  in  the  third  story  of  "Wakefield's 
New  Brick."  The  issue  of  the  above  date  was  Vol.  II,  No.  14,  and  gives  C. 
Wakefield  as  proprietor.  Under  date  of  August  10, 1852,  a  dissolution  notice 
is  published  between  the  proprietor  and  former  editor  of  the  paper,  who  was 
H.  K.  Davis,  and  who  was  superceded  at  that  date  by  E.  Stafford.  A  post- 
script added,  requests  all  persons  knowing  themselves  indebted  to  the  Bul- 
letin in  any  way,  to  pay  to  C.  Wakefield  or  his  authorized  agents.  This  paper 
also  contains  the  national  and  state  democratic  ticket  for  that  year  and 
advertisements  of  the  drug  house  of  Wakefield  &  Thompson.  The  Illinois 
State  Bulletin  was  burnt  out  in  the  big  fire  of  1854,  and  was  discontinued  at 
that  time.  His  brother-in-law,  Robert  Thompson,  and  family  arrived  in 
Bloomington,  and  he  purchased  a  half  interest  in  the  drug  store  and  the 
firm  name  became  Wakefield  &  Thompson.  In  the  spring  of  1856  he,  con- 
tinuing sole  owner  of  the  medicine  manufacturing  business,  built  the  first 
section  of  the  present  medicine  laboratory,  at  516  E.  Washington  street, 
then  in  the  suburb  of  the  town,  and  Wakefield  &  Thompson  built  on  the  site 
of  the  first  purchased  building  on  the  south  side  of  the  square  a  large,  deep 
brick  building,  for  their  increasing  drug  trade. 

In  1854,  Dr.  Wakefield  built  a  $4,000  store  building,  adjoining  the  store 
building  of  Wakefield  &  Thompson.  However,  on  the  following  year  a  fire 
imparted  from  an  adjoining  building  entirely  consumed  the  two  buildings 
of  Dr.  Wakefield  and  Wakefield  &  Thompson.  A  total  insurance  of  S2,000 
was  in  effect  to  balance  the  loss  of  $17,000.  Notwithstanding  the  heavy 
loss,  however,  as  soon  as  the  bricks  were  cold  work  was  at  once  begun,  and 
in  1858  Dr.  Wakefield  completed  the  present  four-story  brick  block,  Nos.  110 
and  112  West  Washington  street,  on  the  south  side  of  the  public  square,  in 
the  third  story  of  which  was  the  locally  famous  "Phoenix  Hall,"  which  in 
these  early  times  was  the  leading  theatre  and  public  hall  of  the  town. 
Many  stirring  political  assemblages  there  assembled,  of  the  embryo  and 
infant  republican  party.  It  had  a  seating  capacity  of  from  one  thousand 
to  twelve  hundred.  It  was  inaugurated  by  a  republican  mass  meeting 
October  22,  1858.  On  December  3,  dressing  rooms  were  finished,  scenery 
put  in,  and  the  name  changed  to  "Liberty  Hall,"  but  after  a  short  time  the 
original  name  was  resumed.  This  hall  was  used  as  a  theatre  and  public 
hall  for  twenty  years,  and  was  in  the  height  of  its  glory  during  the  late 
civil  war.  Leonard  Swett,  Abraham  Lincoln,  Stephen  A.  Douglas,  and  other 
distinguished  men  have  spoken  there. 

Just  prior  to  the  battle  of  Shiloh,  which  was  fought  on  April  5  and  7, 
1862,  Dr.  Wakefield,  accompanied  by  his  brother-in-law,  Robert  Thompson, 
who  acted  as  nurse  and  apothecary,  went  to  Pittsburg  Landing,  where  they 
gave  surgical  assistance  to  the  Union  army  for  a  period,  the  extent  of 
which  is  not  known  exactly,  and  immediately  after  that  celebrated  battle 
they  officiated  in  that  capacity  on  transports,  on  the  Tennessee  river.  Dr. 
Wakefield  was  at  that  time  past  the  legal  age  for  enlistment  in  the  Union 
army,  but  in  the  above  way  he  lent  such  aid  to  the  cause  of  the  Union, 
as  was  within  his  power,  at  his  own  expense,  and  without  pay. 

Beginning  in  the  spring  of  1870  and  finishing  in  the  fall  of  the  follow- 
ing, year.  Dr.  Wakefield  erected  his  fine  residence  on  the  southwest  corner  of 
East  Washington  and  McLean  streets,  the  outer  walls  built  of  sawed  Ohio 
sandstone,  beveled  edges  with  brick  lining,  and  a  total  thickness  of  eighteen 
inches.  This  structure  3'et  stands,  one  of  the  most  substantial  and  imposing 
in  the  State.  The  inner  woodwork  represents  in  solid  form,  and  finished  in 
oil,  all  the  varieties  of  hard  woods  of  Illinois.  Having  disposed  of  the  drug 
business,  and  the  medicine  manufacturing  business  had  grown  to  such 
proportions  that  the  laboratories  had  been  increased  in  size  until  they  now 
occupied  over  an  acre  of  ground  of  solid  brick  structures,  three  stories  in 
height,  and  finding"  his  business  cares  increasing  as  he  physically  declined, 
in  advancing  years,  he  devolved  the  management  of  the  business  on  his 
oldest  son,  Oscar,  who  had  been  educated  for  the  purpose,  and  himself  re-

tired  from  active  business  and  became  a  great  traveler,  visiting  all  parts  of 
the  United  States,  Canada,  West  Indies,  and  Europe. 

Cyrenius  Wakefield  never  sought  political  office,  and  he  accepted  none 
except  membership  of  the  board  of  education  of  Bloomington,  where  he 
served  three  years,  from  April,  1872,  to  April,  1875,  declining  re-election, 
though  during  that  period  he  served  it  in  several  official  capacities.  For  a 
period  of  nine  years  Dr.  Wakefield  was  a  director  and  eight  years  secretary 
of  board  of  directors  of  the  Peoples  Bank  of  Bloomington,  in  which  he  was 
a  heavy  and  influential  stockholder,  death  only  severing  his  service  in  both 
capacities. 

Personally  Dr.  Wakefield,  though  of  economical  habits,  was  generous 
to  a  fault,  with  his  immediate  family  and  relatives,  and  remarkably  benev- 
olent with  all  worthy  destitution.  The  winter  of  1884-85  was  noted  as  one 
of  the  severest  in  two  score  of  years,  and  destitution  in  the  city  was  un- 
usually great.  Dr.  Wakefield  had  for  years  been  identified  as  a  prominent 
member  of  the  Bloomington  Benevolent  Society,  but  this  winter  he  was 
its  president  and  never-tiring  leader;  being  retired  from  active  business  he 
gave  his  whole  time  to  the  good  cause  and  neglected  his  own  health  and 
lost  life  itself.  After  taking  a  heavy  cold  and  suft'erirg  a  congestive  chill 
on  Friday  night,  February  12,  from  which  he  recovered,  hearing  of  new  and 
unrelieved  cases  of  destitution  the  following  day,  however,  although  in  a 
very  negative  condition,  he  gave  it  his  personal  attention,  opening  his 
heart  and  purse.  This  proved  a  fatal  step,  for  from  this  his  ailment  devel- 
oped rapidly  into  pleurisy  and  pneumonia,  and  on  the  following  Friday  night 
he  breathed  his  last.  The  announcement  of  his  death  was  the  advent  of 
universal  sorrow,  and  his  co-laborers  in  charity,  church,  business,  and  social 
circles  met  to  pass  resolutions  of  respect,  sympathy,  and  condolence,  and 
of  their  recognition  of  his  honesty,  philanthrophy,  and  business  worth, 
of  his  good  qualities  as  a  neighbor  and  citizen. 

In  religion  he  was  a  Unitarian,  being  a  founder  and  constant  liberal 
supporter  of  the  local  church  of  that  denomination.  He  believed  in  the 
innate  progressive  tendency  of  the  human  soul  in  this  world  and  the  one  to 
come,  and  that  the  higher  life  is  gradually  attained  by  constant  and  con- 
tinual education  and  cultivation,  extending  through  eternity.  His  life  was 
an  attempt  to  make  the  precepts  of  Christ  a  reality. 

In  politics  Dr.  Wakefield  was  a  "Jacksonian  Democrat,"  though  an 
abolitionist,  until  the  birth  of  the  Republican  party  in  his  city  in  1856, 
when  he  became  identified  as  its  staunch  supporter,  and  as  such  he  continued 
until  his  death,  February  20,  1885.  His  beloved  wife,  who  survived  him, 
died  February  23,  1892,  aged  71.

he  considers  due  his  father  and  mother: 

Bloomington  Daily  Pantagraph.  Fehruary  23.  1885— "The  announcement  on  Saturday 
morning  of  the  death  of  Blbomington's  great  philanthropist.  Dr.  Cyrenius  Wakefield, 
was  received  with  utter  amazement.  While  it  was  known  that  he  was  critically  ill,  all 
hoped  that  he  might  recover.  None  were  prepared  to  learn  of  his  death,  and  the  an- 
nouncement was  a  shock,  a  profoundly  sorrowful  surprise. 

For  half  a  century  Dr.  Wakefield  was  a  citizen  and  a  business  man  of  this  city.  He 
was  an  honored  citizen,  straightforward  in  all  his  business  dealings,  kind  hearted  and 
benevolent.  He  was  successful  in  business  and  left  to  his  heirs  a  large  estate,  and  at  the 
same  time  lived  a  noble  life,  a  life  full  of  good  works .  His  honored  name  will  live  forever. 

When  his  death  became  known,  the^flrst  comments  or  remarks  were  not  upon  the 
wealth  he  had  accumulated  and  left  behind,  but  upon  his  good  heart,  his  noble,  manly 
qualities.  The  first  thoughts  were  upon  his  benevolent,  charitable  acts:  the  great  good 
that  he  had  done ;  upon  his  commendable  habit  of  looking  after  and  caring  for  the  poor 
and  needy.  All  agree  that  by  his  death,  the  city  sustains  a  great  loss,  and  his  taking  off 
is  universally  lamented.'' 

Bloomington  Sunday  Eye.  February  23,  1885— "Coming  to  Illinois  all  but  penniless  Dr. 
Wakefield,  by  industry  and  persistent  effort,  succeeded  in  building  up  a  national  busi- 
ness, and  what  is  more  valuable  a  name  without  a  stain  or  tarnish.  His  career  was  a 
remarkable  one.  Amidst  the  pressure  of  a  great  business  he  never  forgot  or  neg- 
lected his  duties  as  a  citizen  and  a  christian.    Himself  well  endowed  with  the  faculty  of

accumulating  property,  lie  ever  had  an  open  hand  tor  the  needy,  and  no  distressed  per- 
son ever  went  to  Dr.  Waketield  for  succor  and  came  away  without  a  strengthening  word 
and  material  aid.  A  community  weeps  today  and  a  city  mourns  as  the  earthly  tenement 
that  lately  contained  the  spirit  of  Cyrenius  Wakefield  passes  on  to  the  tomb." 

The  Pantagraph— '-It  is  more  than  probable  that  the  death  of  Dr.  Cyrenius  Wakefield, 
recorded  today,  was  the  result  of  his  devotion  to  the  good  of  others.  He  was  a  man  of 
seventy  years  of  age— a  period  of  life  at  which  exposure  to  cold  is  exceedingl3'  danger- 
ous—j^et  on  one  of  the  bitterest  days  of  thelate  Arctic  visitation  he  was  seen  at  the  resi- 
dence of  a  poor  family  south  of  the  tileworks.  whither  he  had  gone  to  alleviate  a  case  of 
pressing  distress.  A  few  days  after  this  came  the  report  of  his  sudden  and  severe  ill- 
ness, and  death  has  resulted.  The  gates  of  heaven  have  certainlv  opened  wide  to  receive 
a  noble,  self-sacriflcing  spirit  like  that.  No  higher  tribute  can  be  paid  to  his  memory  than 
the  plain  statement  of  this  simple  fact.'' 

The  Pa)itagra2)h^"Dr.  Wakefield's  life  evidences  what  energy  and  business  tact  can 
accomplish,  and  is  an  incentive  to  young  men  who  would  prosper. 

Testimonial  from  the  directors  of  the  Peoples  Bank.— ''The  directors  of  the  Peoples 
Bank  of  Bloomington  have  learned  with  sincere  regret  of  the  death  of  our  co-director. 
Dr.  Cyrenius  Wakefield.  While  his  loss  to  his  family  and  the  community  is  irreparable, 
we  keenly  feel  his  loss  aLso  as  a  business  associate.  His  judgment  in  matters  of  business 
was  excellent,  and  the  prosperity  of  the  bank  is  in  no  small  degree  due  to  him.  Identified 
with  it  for  many  years,  he  carefully  studied  its  interests,  and  guarded  the  trust  com- 
mitted to  him  with  unswerving  fidelity.  He  knew  by  experience  the  pathway  that  leads 
from  poverty  to  fortune,  and  his  heart  was  ever  open  to  those  less  fortunate  in  life  than 
himself.  A  kinder  hearted  man.  one  more  willing  to  assist  those  in  distress,  we  have  not 
known.  His  monument  is  in  the  hearts  of  those  to  whom  he  has  indeed  been  a  bene- 
factor. 

"As  a  slight  evidence  of  our  appreciation  of  his  excellence  in  all  the  relations  of 
life,  we.  his  associates  in  business,  bear  our  testimony  to  the  fact  that,  in  the  highest 
sense  he  was  an  honest  man."

The  PawtogirapA,  February  24,  1893— "The  venerable  figure  of  Mrs.  Wakefield  will  be 
missed  from  her  almost  daily  drives  about  the  city.  Of  a  most  benevolent  and  kindly 
nature,  no  weather  was  too  severe,  or  no  surroundings  too  uninviting  to  prevent  her  per- 
sonal administering  of  the  charity  for  which  she  was  so  famed,  and  for  which  the  poor 
of  this  city  will  ever  have  cause  to  bless  her  name.  Of  a  very  vivacious  and  pleasant  dis- 
position, she  enjoyed  the  pleasures  of  society,  and  nothing  pleased  her  more  than  to  be 
surrounded  by  young  people,  for  whom  she  had  great  sympathy  and  unbounded  kindness. 
Her  large  means,  coupled  with  the  generous  Instincts  of  her  heart,  her  very  presence  a 
benediction  in  many  homes  of  poverty  and  want.  One  of  her  last  acts,  before  her  final 
sickness,  was  to  go  over  her  large  house  and  gather  together  a  number  of  articles  which 
she  thought  she  could  spare  and  send  them  to  the  Benevolent  Society.  Owing  to  the  in- 
creasing infirmities  of  her  age,  she  had  not  gone  out  as  much  as  usual  this  winter,  but 
her  heart  and  her  hands  were  busy  in  caring,  not  only  for  her  immediate  family,  but  also 
for  those  who  had  no  claim  of  family  ties  upon  her.  Long  will  she  be  sincerely  missed 
and  mourned."

quoted  from  the  memorial  volume,  of  Reading,  Mass.,  1896: 

"He  owned  a  large  tract  of  land,  north  and  east  of  Lake  Quannapowitt,  embracing 
portions  of  the  present  towns  of  Reading,  Wakefield,  and  Lynfield.  Near  the  foot  of  this 
beautiful  sheet  of  water.  Dr.  Wakefield  was  born.  As  a  lad  he  attended  the  public  schools 
of  his  native  town,  but  fitted  for  college,  at  Bradford  Academy  and  Pinkerton  Academy, 
Derry,  N.  H.  *  *  *  In  early  manhood  he  had  the  clear  conviction,  personal  indepen- 
dence, and  moral  courage  to  be  a  member  of  the  convention  at  Philadelphia,  in  Decem- 
ber, 1833,  at  which  the  American  Anti-slavery  Society  was  formed,  and  to  place  his  name 
on  that  "Declaration  of  Sentiments"  which  proved  to  be  the  key  note  of  the  whole  long

contest  with  American  slavery,  and  a  prophetic  warning  and  promise  of  its  downfall. 
His  name  stands  among  the  signers,  next  to  that  of  John  G.  Whittier.  In  harmony  with 
that  early  and  fearless  avowal  of  anti-slavery  faith  he  later  took  position  with  the  de- 
fenders of  Woman's  Righ  ts,  and  was  heartily  in  sympathy  with  the  advocates  of  Woman's 
Suffrage,  at  the  outset  of  that  movement.  He  received  his  medical  education  at  Dart- 
mouth college,  where  he  took  his  degree  in  1836.  He  entered  at  once  on  the  practice  of  his 
profession,  and  from  that  time  till  his  death,  he  was  almost  constantly  in  positions  of 
public  work,  responsibility,  and  honor.  From  1836  to  1844,  he  followed  his  profession  with 
assiduity  and  success  in  Oakham,  Worcester  county,  Mass.,  where  he  held  the  oftices  of 
selectman  and  town  clerk,  and  was  elected  to  the  legislature  in  1843.  In  1844,  he  returned 
to  Reading,  and  served  in  that  town  as  school  committee  man,  town  clerk,  and  justice  of 
the  peace  for  several  years.  He  was  elected  to  the  State  Senate  in  1862.  was  president  of 
the  South  Readinglnsurance  Company,  and  also  president  of  the  South  Reading,  Reading, 
and  Stonehani  Gas  Company.    He  was  councilor  of  the  Massachusetts  Medical  Society,

president  of  the  Middlesex  East  District  Medical  Society,  and  ex-officio.  vice-president  of 
the  Massachusetts  Medical  Society,  before  which  he  delivered  the  annual  address,  in  1867, 
an  honor  vouchsafed  only  once  in  the  life  of  an  individual.  In  1864,  he  was  appointed  by 
Governor  Andrew,  inspector  of  the  State  Almshouse  at  Tewksbury,  and  was  resident 
physician  in  that  institution  from  1866  to  1868.  He  was  appointed  by  Governor  Bullock, 
Superintendent  of  the  State  Primary  School,  at  Monson,  Mass.,  in  March,  1668.  and  occu- 
pied that  position  for  nine  years.  Here  he  engaged  quite  extensively  in  farming,  and 
was  elected  president  of  the  East  Hampden  Agricultural  Society,  and  a  member  of  the 
State  Board  of  Agriculture,  from  1873  to  1882.  While  at  Monson,  he  was  president  of  the 
Palmer  Savings  Bank,  and  director  of  the  Palmer  First  National  Bank.  The  public 
claim  on  Dr.  Wakefield  was  founded  on  rare  abilit}-  to  serve  the  public,  for  he  had  marked 
elements  of  character.  He  was  active  and  energetic.  This  was  his  nature.  He  was  a 
man  of  untiring  activity,  and  with  so  much  of  positive  and  progressive  energy,  that  his 
presence  was  always  recognized.  His  mental  as  his  physical  framework  showed  great 
natural  strength.    He  had  rare  wisdom  and  foresight  in  planning  work  and  remarkable

persistency  and  zeal  in  carrying  out  any  project  whicli  he  undertoot.  His  positiveness 
of  character,  by  which  he  lived  up  to  his  convictions,  was  more  conducive  to  his  useful- 
ness, than  to  his  popularity.  His  plainness  of  speech  was  due  rather  to  clear  convictions, 
than  to  adverse  feelings,  for  beneath  a  sometimes  rough  exterior,  he  carried  a  warm 
and  generous  heart.  He  never  withheld  his  aid  from  any  social,  moral,  or  religious 
cause  affecting  the  common  welfare.  In  religious  sentiment  he  was  an  (jrthodox  Congre- 
gationalist.  In  April,  1879,  he  purchased  the  noted  'Stonewall  Farm,"  in  Leicester,  Mass., 
and  removed  thither,  where  he  remained  till  his  death,  which  occurred  August  23,  1883."

service  for  the  honor  of  Christ,  and  the  good  of  others  in  the  world,"  in  all 
which  the  greatest  purity  and  excellence  of  character  were  displayed.  She 
had  a  clear,  single  eye  for  observation  of  persons  and  things,  discriminat- 
ing most  carefully  between  appearances  and  reality,  right  and  wrong, 
error  and  truth.  Her  hands  were  skilled  in  writing,  painting,  and  needle- 
work, and  her  application  and  diligence  in  these  was  remarkable,  while  in 
domestic  duties  and  the  care  of  her  family  she  had  great  enjoyment  and 
success.  *  *  *  Having  a  mind  enriched  by  culture,  and  stores  of  useful 
knowledge,  marked  also  by  originality  and  sound  judgment,  she  was  amply 
fitted  for  great  usefulness  in  all  the  relations  of  society.  Her  heart  was 
full  of  the  purest,  warmest  affections,  and  she  was  happy  in  doing  good."

Wakefield;  born  October  20,  1833,  in  Sangerfield,  N.  Y.  He  died  January  25, 
1888,  and  was  universally  lamented. 

"While  he  was  quite  young  his  parents  removed,  with  their  family,  to  Wisconsin, 
and  there  young  Cyrus  received  a  good,  common  school  education,  and  as  he  grew  older 
helped  his  father  on  the  farm  and  taught  a  district  school  several  winter  terms.  After 
obtaining  his  majority,  in  18.5.T.  Mr.  Wakefield  came  to  Boston  and  entered  the  employ- 
ment of  his  uncle,  Cyrus  Wakefield,  whose  wonderful  rattan  business  was  then  beginning 
to  assume  extensive  proportions.  Here  were  afforded  opportunities  to  master  the  prac- 
tical details  of  mercantile  life,  and  ample  scope  for  the  growth  and  development  of  a 
mind  peculiarly  adapted  to  the  comprehension  and  management  of  important  enter- 
prises in  the  business  world.  In  1865,  Mr.  Wakefield  went  to  Singapore,  India,  charged 
with  large  responsibility  as  the  representative  of  his  uncle  in  the  East.    Returning  in

18T0,  he  married  Miss  Anna  B.  Pierce,  of  Newburyport,  Mass..  and  went  again  to  Singa- 
pore, India,  remaining  there  until  the  sudden  death  of  his  uncle,  in  1873,  recalled  him  to 
America,  to  assume  a  leading  position  in  the  management  of  the  Wakefield  Rattan  Com- 
pany. He  established  his  residence  in  Wakefield,  and  on  the  death  of  Mrs.  Cyrus  Wake- 
field, sr.,  in  1878.  he  occupied  the  elegant  mansion  house  erected  by  his  uncle,  and  resided 
there  until  his  death.  Mr.  Wakefield  was  a  good  and  true  citizen  of  the  town  of  his  adop- 
tion, and  during  the  quarter  century  of  his  residence  therein  became  more  and  more 
identified  with  her  institutions,  and  interested  in  her  progress.  As  president  and  as 
treasurer  of  the  Wakefield  Rattan  Company,  he  displayed  signal  wisdom  in  guiding  and 
guarding  its  affairs,  and  won  the  esteem  and  confidence  of  his  employees.  He  was  presi- 
dent of  the  Citizen's  Gaslight  Company,  and  active  trustee  of  the  Wakefield  Savings 
Bank,  and  chairman  of  the  investment  committee.  He  was  president  of  the  Wakefield 
Lecture  Association,  and  long  a  trustee  of  the  Beebe  Town  Library,  and  always  a  gener- 
ous friend  of  education  for   the  people.    He  was  president  of  the  Wakefield  Board  of 


CYRUS    WAKEFIELD,  2d. 


Trade,  a  member  of  Crystal  Lodge,  A.O.U.W.,  and  prominent  in  the  Masonic  fraternity. 
He  was  a  director  in  the  China  Marine  Insurance  Company  and  the  Boston  Marine  Insur- 
ance Company,  a  director  of  the  Boston  National  Bank,  arid  connected  with  several  other 
financial  and  manufacturing  institutions.  In  addition  to  his  duties  as  treasurer  of  the 
Wakefield  Rattan  Company  he  carried  on  an  extensive  trade  in  sugar,  hemp.  gum.  and 
other  East  India  products,  under  the  firm  name  of  Cyrus  Wakefield  &  Co.,  with  houses  in 
New  York  and  Boston. 

"When  the  subject  of  a  supply  of  pure  water  from  Crystal  Lake  was  being  agitated 
and  the  town  had  declined  to  act.  Mr.  Wakefield,  as  president  and  the  largest  stockholder 
of  the  Wakefield  Water  Company,  assumed  the  financial  responsibility  of  carrying  for- 
ward the  enterprise  to  a  successful  issue.  The  death  of  Cyrus  Wakefield,  sr..  occurred  at  a 
time  of  great  financial  depression  in  the  mercantile  world,  and  was  regarded  as  a  stun- 
ning blow  to  the  business  prosperity  and  development  of  the  town,  but  the  coming  of 
another  Cyrus  Wakefield  of  honorable  character  and  active  public  spirit,  to  take  the 
place  of  his  uncle  as  a  liberal  citizen  and  manager  of  the  great  rattan  corporation,  did 
much  to  restore  confidence  in  the  community,  and  make  the  return  to  better  times  more

easy.  Mr.  Wakefield  was  a  large-hearted  man,  not  of  man}'  words,  nor  fond  of  display, 
but  ready  and  ^lad  to  dispense  from  his  ample  fortune,  with  open-handed  hospitality  and 
a  wise  generosity.  His  public  spirit  and  deeds  of  humanity  in  the  town  that  bore  his 
family  name  were  truly  appreciated  by  his  fellow  citizens.  He  had  an  active,  intelligent 
interest  in  public  affairs,  whether  concerning  town,  state,  or  nation,  and  was  generally 
present  and  voting  at  the  local  town  meetings,  but  his  deep  affections  were  centered  in

MISS  BANDUSIA   WAKEFIELD. 


390.  Bandusia^  Wakefield  {Orin,^  Joseph,''  Joseph,^  Thomas,^  Joseph,* 
John,^  John,-  John^),  daughter  of  Orin  and  Hannah  (McCord)  Wakefield.  "On 
the  11th  of  January,  1844,  in  their  farm  house  in  DeWitt  county,  111.,  was 
born  to  Orin  and  Hannah  Wakefield  a  daughter,  Bandusia.  Her  farthest 
memory  back,  before  three  years  of  age,  was  of  being  asked  what  she 
would  be  when  she  grew  up,  and  she  promptly  replied,  "A  schoolma'am." 
Her  mother  taught  her  early  to  do  all  kinds  of  work,  required  in  a  farm 
house,  and  she  also  helped  sometimes  in  the  field,  walking  after  the  plow 
and  dropping  corn  by  hand.  From  her  father,  whose  leisure  hours  were 
usually  devoted  to  reading  aloud  to  his  family,  or  relating  what  he  had 
read,  came  a  stimulus  and  aid  to  intellectual  culture,  while  uprightness  of 
life  was  taught  not  only  by  precept  but  by  example  in  this  home,  whose  at- 
mosphere was  one  of  kindness  as  well  as  of  intellectual  and  religious  free- 
dom.    She  attended  the  district  school,  pursued  the  studies  there  required, 


Ninth  Generation.  107 


and  in  addition,  with  the  help  of  her  brother  George,  studied  Latin  and 
higher  mathematics.  She  looked  forward  to  graduation  from  college,  but 
had  given  up  the  "schoolma'am"  aspiration  of  her  early  childhood.  How- 
ever, destiny  decided  in  favor  of  the  '-schoolma'am,"  and  in  the  fall  of  1861, 
one  week  after  the  opportunity  offered,  she  intered  the  Illinois  State  Nor- 
mal University  and  pledged  herself  to  become  a  teacher.  She  graduated 
from  this  school  June  23,  1865,  having  been  employed  as  a  teacher  in  its 
normal  and  model  school  departments  four  terms  before  graduating.  She 
continued  to  teach  in  the  model  school  the  following  year,  but  resigned  be- 
fore its  close  on  account  of  ill  health. 

Her  health  for  a  number  of  years  did  not  permit  any  long  continued 
work  in  the  school  room,  but  she  taught  occasional  short  terms  in  different 
places  until  the  spring  term  of  1871,  when  she  took  charge  of  the  mathe- 
matical department  of  the  Illinois  State  Normal  University  during  the 
absence  in  Europe  of  the  regular  professor,  Thomas  Metcalf.  During  the 
next  two  years  she  had  charge  of  the  high  school  in  Winterset,  Iowa,  and 
the  next  year  following,  of  the  high  school  in  Emporia,  Kans.  She  taught  the 
fall  term  of  1874  in  the  high  school  of  Farmington,  111.,  but  resigned  this 
position  to  accept  one  in  the  high  school  of  Bloomington,  111.,  where  she 
completed  the  year.  She  was  then  elected  by  the  state  board  of  education 
a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  Illinois  State  Normal  University,  and 
taught  in  this  school  the  following  six  years,  resigning  this  jjosition  in  the 
spring  of  1881  to  join  the  household  of  her  brother,  George,  in  Sioux  City, 
Iowa,  and  help  to  care  for  his  motherless  children.  Here  she  is  still,  at  the 
date  of  this  writing,  August  24,  1896.  She  has  said  good-bye  to  the  school 
room,  but  not  to  teaching,  for  this  work  has,  in  one  way  or  another,  been 
continued.  She  has  been  much  interested  in  botany  as  well  as  in  art,  and 
during  a  few  years  painted  in  oil  studies  of  over  three  hundred  species  of 
wild  flowers.  But  the  deeper  questions  of  life  have  always  been  of  the 
greatest  interest.  During  the  greater  part  of  her  life  she  has  been  a 
member  of  the  Unitarian  Church.  In  April,  1890,  she  joined  the  Theo- 
sophical  Society,  and  to  the  cause  for  which  it  stands,  that  of  universal 
brotherhood,  she  is  devoted,  and  her  present  teaching  is  on  theosophical 
lines."

The  presiding  judge  of  Woodbury  county  district  court,  in  directing  the 
resolutions  of  the  Sioux  City  bar  to  be  spread  upon  the  record,  said  of  him: 

"In  the  exercise  of  his  many  virtues  there  was  neither  ostentation  nor  parade.  He 
was  a  true  man.  Wherever  he  went  he  made  friends,  for  to  know  him  was  to  be  bound 
to  him  by  the  ties  of  friendship.  He  was  open  and  straightforward,  honest  and  faith- 
ful, and  when  he  declared  his  purpose  and  intention,  all  could  confide  therein  with  safet3'. 
He  shranls  from  no  duty  and  was  ever  ready  to  do  his  share  of  the  world's  work.  As  a 
lawyer  he  was  conservative,  and  his  judgments  were  not  hasty,  but  clear.  He  dis- 
tinguished clearlj'  between  the  right  and  the  wrong.  He  steadfastly  maintained  his  con- 
victions and  was  firm  as  the  rock  in  his  adhesion  to  the  right.  He  was  not  demonstrative 
in  his  sympathies,  but  tender  as  a  mothers  love.  His  fortitude  was  great  and  his  hope 
boundless.  He  has  suffered  for  years,  yet  how  bravely  he  fought  the  battle  against  the 
fell  destroyer.  Death.  How  uncomplainingly  he  bore  the  great  pain  of  the  closing  months 
of  his  life,  and  how  hopefull}^  he  spoke  of  his  recovery,  as  certain  when  all  others  had 
despaired.  His  was  an  optimism  that  never  despaired  and  never  failed,  yet  mortal 
strength  could  not  always  endure.    He  is  dead,  but  he  died  a  conqueror."

CHAPTER  II. 


JOHN   WAKEFIELD,   OF   MAINE,  AND   HIS    POSTERITY. 

FIRST  GENERATION. 

1 .  JoHN^  Wakefield,  the  progenitor  of  the  Maine  family  of  Wake- 
fields,  was  born  in  England.  The  first  American  record  we  have  of  him  is 
of  date  January  1,  1637,  when  at  a  town  meeting  held  at  Salem  he  was 
assessed  fifteen  shillings  as  an  inhabitant  of  Marblehead,  colony  of  Massa- 
chusetts Bay.     {Town  Kecordx  of  Salem,  l(i34-59.) 

This  leads  us  to  the  decision,  that  as  he  probably  did  not  come  over  in 
winter  he  must  have  come  at  least  as  long  before  as  the  summer  or  fall  of 
1636.  At  a  town  meeting  held  at  Salem  December  26,  1()3S,  among  the  sev- 
eral portions  of  land  laid  out  at  Marblehead,  on  the  14th  of  the  same 
month,  John  Wakefield  received  his  first  American  land  grant  of  four  acres 
"on  the  Neck,"  .John  Endicott  and  others  signing  the  grant.  {Original  Book 
of  Grants  of  Salem,  Essex  Count u  Inst.,  vol.  ii,  p.  74.) 

Owing  to  the  unfortunate  incompleteness  of  the  early  town  records  of 
Salem,  Marblehead,  Wells,  Scarboro,  and  Saco  (Biddleford),  we  are  forever 
deprived  of  any  record  of  the  date  of  his  birth,  the  marriage  to  his  wife, 
Elizabeth  Littlefield,  the  place  where  it  was  solemnized,  and  the  same  of 
the  birth  of  their  children.  In  1(557  the  house  of  Joseph  Bowles,  then  town 
clerk  of  Wells,  Me.,  was  destroyed  by  fire,  and  with  it  the  first  volume  of 
the  town  records.  Prior  to  that,  as  will  be  seen,  we  have  practically 
nothing,  and  even  after  that  time,  while  the  marriages  are  quite  complete, 
the  births  and  deaths  are  very  meager.  Prior  to  1()41,  John  Wakefield  lived 
in  Salem.  (Marblehead  was  set  otf  as  a  separate  town  from  Saiem  in  1648.) 
Our  first  record  of  John  Wakefield,  in  Maine,  is  of  date  1641,  when  he, 
with  his  brother-in-law,  John  Littlefield,  was  granted,  under  the  authority 
of  the  Ligonia  patent,  what  is  now  known  as  the  "Great  Hill  farm."  The 
hill  at  that  time  extended  much  farther  into  the  sea  that  it  now  does  and 
with  the  projecting  land  at  the  eastern  end,  was  called  "The  Great  Neck." 
Neither  of  the  mentioned  grantees  took  possession  of  this  grant,  perhaps 
owing  to  uncertainty  as  to  its  being  located  within  the  bounds  of  the  said 
grant. 

John  Wakefield  settled  in  the  town  of  Wells,  where  he  attained  consid- 
erable prominence.  We  have  records  of  his  services  as  commissioner  and 
selectman  in  1648,  1654,  and  1657.  The  name  of  his  father-in-law,  Edmund 
Littlefield,  occurs  in  the  same  capacity  with  his  in  each  instance. 

John  Wakefield  purchased  Drake's  Island,  of  Stephen  Batson  in  1652, 
where  he  removed  in  that  year  and  resided  there  for  two  or  three  years. 
He  then  removed  to  Scarboro  where  he  purchased  land  and  resided  for 
several  years.  Prom  Scarboro  he  removed  to  that  part  of  Biddleford, 
which  is  now  Saco,  where  he  continued  until  his  death.  He  was  in  Wells 
July  2,  1657,  when  he  witnessed  a  grant  to  John  Barretts.  On  the  3d  day  of 
April  1661,  John  Wakefield,  then  of  Scarboro,  but  previous]}^  of  Wells, 
sold  to  Mr.  John  Gooch,  of  his  estate  in  Wells,  one  track  of  marsh  land  lying 
on  the  north  side  of  the  harbor,  and  butting  upon  the  sea  southeast,  upon 
the  Mussell  Ridge  west,  and  joining  to  a  tract  of  upland  on  the  north  side, 
which  he  also  sold  to  Mr.  Gooch,  with  the  marsh  lying  on  the  west  side  of 
John  Cross's  upland,  and  is  bounded  by  an  old  fence.  The  marsh  was  by 
estimation  about  ten  acres  and  the  upland  about  two  acres  and  a  half. 
{York  Deeds,  book  1,  folio  107.) 


118  Posterity  of  John  Wakefield  of  Maine. 

On  September  2,  1661,  John  Wakefield  witnessed  a  deed  by  John  Smyth, 
of  Dunsta,  to  Jas.  Gibbins,  of  Saco.  May  31,  1661,  John  Wakefield  and  his 
daughter  Mary  witnessed  a  deed  by  Mog-g-  Hegone,  of  Sacoe  River,  to  Maj. 
Wm.  Phillips,  of  Saco,  and  in  July  166(),  he  was  on  a  "jury  of  trials,"  at 
Wells,  from  Saco.  (See  Yorl-  Deeds,  book  1,  folio  123,  and  book  2,  folio  46.) 
{Maine  Bistorical  Society  Collection,  vol.  i.) 

On  September  10, 1670,  Elizabeth,  wife  and  attorney  of  John  Wakefield, 
"late  of  Marblehead  but  now  of  Saco."  ''alias  Winter  Harbor,"  planter,  and 
being  by  him  constituted  his  lawful  attorney,  and  empowered  by  one  instru- 
ment or  letter  bearing  date  August  9,  1670,  sold  for  a  consideration  of  ten 
pounds,  to  John  Meager,  of  Boston,  in  New  England,  merchant,  a  piece  or 
parcel  of  land,  "situate,  lying,  and  being  in  the  township  of  Marblehead,  in 
New  England,  upon  ye  neck  of  land  that  lyethon  the  south  side  of  the  great 
harbor,  containing  four  acres,  or  more  or  less,  as  it  was  laid  out  to  my  said 
husband  by  the  select  townsmen  of  Marblehead,  and  allotted  by  a  grant  of 
the  town  of  Salem."  Acknowledged  September  10,  1670;  recorded  October 
17,  1749.     {Essex  County  Registry  of  Deeds,  vol.  xciv,  p.  18.) 

On  September  22,  1()66,  at  a  general  town  meeting  at  Biddleford,  the 
order  of  seating  in  the  meeting  house  was  voted  on,  and  "Goodwife  Wake- 
field" was  assigned  section  six.  The  tax  list  of  Biddleford  for  June  25,  1672, 
mentions  John  Wakefield  five  shillings,  perhaps  a  church  rate. 

John  Wakefield  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Edmund  and  Annis  Lit- 
tlefield,  of  Wells,  whose  death  is  not  recorded.  He  died  February  15,  1674, 
and  is  buried  at  Biddleford,  Me.

LITTLEFIELD  PEDIGREE. 

Edmund  Littlefield,  .said  to  have  been  born  in  Exeter,  N.  E.,  1591;  not  improbably 
came  to  Boston  with  Wheelwright's  friends  in  July,  16;37,  accomp^nied  by  his  son  An- 
thony. His  wife,  Anne  or  Annis.  and  six  of  their  other  children  did  not  accompany 
them,  but  sailed  later  and  reached  Boston  in  the  ship  Bevis  in  May,  1638.  Littlefield  was 
a  warm  partisan  of  John  Wheelwright,  and  probably  was  early,  at  Exeter,  N.H.  He  had 
assigned  him  in  the  early  division  of  land  twenty-one  acres  of  "upland,"  and  was  a  sub- 
.scriber  to  the  combination.  Littlefield  accompanied  Rev.  Wheelwright  to  Wells  in  or 
before  1645,  and  was  there  a  man  of  distinction,  serving  as  selectman  and  commissioner, 
serving  as  such  with  John  Wheelwright.  John  Wakefield,  and  others.  He  died  Decem- 
ber — .  1661.  His  will  of  December  11,  made  good  provision  to  his  wife,  Anne,  and  among 
other  children  to  his  daughter,  Elizabeth  Wakefield.  The  inventory  gave  the  value  of  his 
estate  at  £.588,  13s.,  4d.  His  wife,  Annis,  died  December,  1677,  and  her  will  of  December 
12,  makes  among  others,  bequest  to  her  daughter,  Elizabeth  Wakefield,  and  grand- 
daughter, "Katterine  Wakefield."    {MaineWilh,  and  York  Deeds,  book  iv,  part  1,  folio  25.)

In  1746-7,  the  vessel  in  which  the  Wells  and  Arundel  troops  were  bein^ 
transported  to  Annapolis,  was  cast  away  on  Mount  Desert,  in  a  snow  storm, 
and  seventy  or  eighty  perished,  but  our  subject  and  three  others  were  saved, 
after  suffering  terribly,  as  there  was  no  house  on  the  island.  They  built  a 
boat  out  of  such  material  as  they  could  get,  and  by  the  aid  of  a  gun  and  a 
little  ammunition,  saved  from  the  wreck,  they  preserved  life,  by  killing  a  few 
fowl.  Part  of  their  number  embarked  in  their  frail  craft,  arriving  safely 
at  Townsend,  where  aid  was  obtained  and  a  boat  sent  to  the  island  for  those 
left  behind.  The  house  built  by  John  Wakefield,  jr.,  had  in  it,  in  1795,  but 
thirty-six  squares  of  7  by  9  glass,  embraced  in  seven  windows.  He  was  one

Fourth  Generation.  123 


James  Wakefield,  who  was  a  farmer  near  Wells,  was  one  of  those  early 
settlers  who  thought  more  of  the  House  of  God  than  their  own.  He  died 
October — ,  1779,  and  his  house  was  appraised  at  $73  and  his  pew  in  church  at 
$67.  Administration  of  his  estate  was  granted  October  11,  1779,  to  his  wife, 
Miriam,  who  gave  bond  in  the  amount  of  £2,000  with  Asa  Burbank  and  Stephen 
Larrabee  as  sureties;  account  returned  October  8,  1788.  The  inventory  re- 
turned, November  16,  1778,  by  Samuel  Waterhouse,  Stephen  Larrabee  and 
Joseph  Emerson,  appraisers,  gives  the  following  valuations:  House,  £10; 
barn,  £15;  land,  55  acres,  at  £4  per  acre;  total,  £245,  Os.,  Od.  Whole  estate

field, and  John  Taylor  was  appointed  guardian,  perhaps  with  Stephen 
Larrabee,  of  James  Wakefield.  The  division  of  the  estate,  dated  October

Ann— William  aged  22,  and  Ann  aged  20  years.  He  is  supposed  to  have  l)een  a  follower  of 
Rev.  John  Wheelwright,  as  he  and  wife,  or  sister,  Ann.  and  Annis  Littletteld,  all  came 
over  together  as  proteges  of  StephenDummer,  of  Newbury,  who  was  one  of  Wheel-

moved from  town  about  this  time,  although  he  is  elsewhere  on  record  as  having  removed

CHAPTER  III. 


JOSEPH  WAKEFIELD,  OF  DUDLEY,  AND  HIS  POSTERITY. 

FIRST  GENERATION. 

Of  the  parentage  and  ancestry  of  Joseph  Wakefield  there  is  consid- 
erable uncertainty.  According-  to  one  tradition,  he,  Jonathan,  and  Benja- 
min, of  Sutton,  were  sons  of  William  Wakefield  and  Rebecca  Littlefield,  of 
Wells,  Me.,  and  while  there  appears  no  records  to  disprove  the  above  tra- 
dition, there  is  another  tradition  that  Joseph  came  from  Boston  and  was  a 
descendant  of  the  progenitor  of  that  family. 

1.  Joseph  Wakefield,  who  was  born  about  1702-3,  and  was  by  occupa- 
tion a  "cordwainer,"  must  have  settled  in  Sutton  prior  to  1726,  as  in  book  17, 
p.  322,  of  the  Worcester  County  Registry  of  Deeds,  of  Massachusetts,  we  glean  that 
on  June  13,  1726,  that  Joseph  Wakefield,  late  of  Sutton,  now  a  resident  near 
Oxford,  bought  128  acres  of  land,  on  the  road  to  Woodstock,  from  William 
Dudley,  Esqr,  of  Roxbury.  Joseph  Wakefield  married  about  1725-6,  Mary, 
daughter  of  George  Robinson.  He  died  October  — ,  1746,  and  his  will,  dated 
October  2,  and  proved  November  1,  1746,  was  sworn  to  before  Joseph 
Wilder,  judge.  ( Worcester  County  Registi-y  of  Probate,  vol.  ii,  p.  527.)  His  wife, 
Mary,  was  appointed  executrix,  and  was  granted  the  use  of  all  "improve- 
ments" as  long  as  she  remained  single.  The  plan  of  division  was  as  follows: 
William,  eldest  son,  20  acres;  Mary,  his  daughter,  17  acres;  Asahel,  second 
son,  43  acres;  Joseph,  third  son,  38  acres;  Simeon,  fourth  son,  38  acres;  John, 
youngest  son,  received  44  acres.  The  division  of  the  estate  was  dated  Octo- 
ber 1,  1747.  (Vol.  ii,  pp.  643-4.)  The  inventory  of  the  estate  of  Joseph 
Wakefield,  taken  March  19,  1757,  and  returned  May  19,  1757,  places  his  real 
estate  at  forty  acres,  and  valued  at  £23  6s  8d,  and  cash  book  accounts  <£12 
12s  Id,  total  £35  19s  3d.

SECOND  GENERATION. 

2.  William*  Wakefield  {Jose-ph^),  son  of  Joseph  and  Mary  (Robin- 
son) Wakefield,  was  born  on  his  father's  estate,  on  the  highway  between 
Oxford,  Mass.,  and  Woodstock,  Conn.,  September  20,  1726.  He  married, 
about  1750-1,  Abia,  daughter  of  Joseph  Trumbull,  of  North  Gore,  who  was 
on  tax  list  in  1717,  and  died  before  1770.  He  died  July  3,  1790.  His  wife, 
Abia,  died  June  — ,  1795.  His  will  of  June  29,  1790,  proved  September  7, 
1790;  he  mentions  being  "weak  in  body"  at  date  of  making  of  will.  He 
appointed  his  sons,  Joel  and  Tubal,  executors,  and  made  provision  to  his 
wife  Abia,  of  dwelling  and  one-half  of  his  lands,  the  balance  being  divided 
between  Tubal,  Joel,  Simeon,  etc.     Son  Joel  resigned  as  co-executor  June 


Second  Generation.  139 

29,  1790.  {Worcester  County  Begistry  of  Deeds,  vol.  xxiii,  p.  97.)  On  November 
14,  1796,  occurred  the  division  of  lands  held  in  common  between  the  widow, 
Abia,  and  the  heirs  of  Tubal:  Lot.  Marsh,  guardian  to  heirs  of  Tubal.  Men- 
tions Tubal's  wife,  Abigail,  and  the  agreement  reads:  "If  any  dispute  arises 
about  the  quantity  of  any  parcel  of  land,  an  'artist'  was  to  be  secured  for 
the  survey  thereof."  Signed  by  John  Larned,  Abigail  Larned,  Joel  Wake- 
field, Simeon  Wakefield,  Luther  Wakefield,  Solomon  Wakefield,  and  David 
Wakefield,  of  Dudley.  (See  vol.  xxvi,  p.  397,  Worcester  County  Begistry  of 
Deeds. ) 

June  10, 1795,  after  the  death  of  Abia  Wakefield,  her  estate  was  divided 
between  their  children,  as  follows:  The  farm  was  given  to  eldest  son, 
David,  on  condition  that  he  was  to  make  a  certain  payment;  the  balance 
was  divided  between  Solomon,  Simeon,  Joel,  Tubal,  Mary,  Martha,  Rachel, 
and  John  Larned  (step-father  of  the  heirs  of  Martha,  who  was  probably 
then  deceased).

15.— 8.    Tubal,  born  June  12.  1770;  married  February  14,  1793,  Abigail  Marsh. 

16.-9.    Chloe,  born  August  28,  1775. 

3.  ASAHEL-  Wakefield  {Joseph^},  son  of  .Joseph  and  Mary  (Robin- 
son) Wakefield,  was  born  on  his  father's  estate  on  the  highway  between 

Oxford,  Mass.,  and  Woodstock,  Ct.,  September  15,  1728.     He  married 

Lydia,  daughter  of  David  Harwood,  sr.  He  was  a  husbandman  or  farmer, 
and  probably  resided  upon  part  of  the  land  which  he  inherited  from  his 
father.  Worcester  County  Begistery  of  Deeds,  vol.  xli,  page  137,  records  a  deed 
of  twenty-eight  acres  of  land  sold  to  his  brother,  William  Wakefield,  for 
£20,  dated  May  6,  1752.  It  appears  that  his  wife,  Lydia,  suffered  a  short 
period  of  mental  derangement,  as  in  vol.  viii,  p.  121,  Worcester  Begistry  of  Pro- 
bate, David  Harwood  was  appointed  guardian  of  Lydia  Wakefield,  of  Sutton, 
a  person  who  is  "noji  comjjos,'"  and  the  same  volume,  p.  454,  under  date 
July  2,  1764,  Lydia  Wakefield  is  represented  as  restored  to  her  right  mind 
and  guardian  is  discharged.  Asahel  Wakefield  died  intestate  in  April, 
1763,  and  June  27  of  the  same  3'ear  the  inventory  of  his  estate  was  recorded, 
and  David  Harwood,  his  father-in-law,  was  appointed  administrator.  The 
estate  was  valued  at  £157  16s  lOtZ  and  was  divided  as  follows:  One-third  to 
David  Harwood,  jr.,  guardian  of  the  widow,  and  two-thirds  to  the  children, 
or  their  legal  representatives,  in  four  parts,  two  to  the  oldest  son  and  one 
each  to  two  others,  the  division  being  dated  July  2,  1764.  We  fail  to  find 
any  official  records  giving  statistics  of  the  children,  but  the  following  are 
assumed  to  be  their  children:

In  May.  17()3,  Mary  Wakefield,  administratrix  on  estate  of  Simeon 
Wakefield,  late  of  Killingly,  Windham  county,  Conn.,  entered  a  memorial, 
that  the  debts  of  her  late  husband,  exceeded  in  amount  the  personal 
property  of  the  estate,  and  prayed  for  liberty  to  sell  real  estate,  which  was 
granted  to  the  amount  of  £17  15.s  11  Kf?,  under  charge  of  the  district  of 
Pomfret.  .Joseph  Putney  and  Mary  Putney,  administratrix,  entered  an-

THIRD  GENERATION. 


9.  Elder  Solomon^  Wakefield  (William,-  Joseph^),  son  of  William 

and  Abia  (Trumbullj  Wakefield;  was  born  April  22,   1754,  on  his  father's 

estate  on  the  highway  between  Oxford,  Mass.,  and  Woodstock,  Conn.     He 

married  July  1,  1784,  Chloe,   daughter  of  Briant  and  Hepsibah  (Chandler) 

Brown,  who  was  born  at  Killingly,  Conn.,  May  20,  1759. 

"In  1798  a  Baptist  Church  was  formed  in  what  is  now  Webster,  Mass.,  and  Elder 
Solomon  Wakefield  was  ordained  to  the  work  of  the  gospel  ministry,  not,  however,  as 
pastor,  but  with  the  understanding  that  he  would  labor  with  the  church  in  word  and 
doctrine.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Baptist  Church  in  Thompson.  Conn.,  and  from  the 
fact  that  he  received  ordination  in  the  Robinson  neighborhood,  two  miles  east  of  the  old 
meeting  house,  it  would  seem  that  he  was  licensed  to  preach  by  that  church.  Elder 
Solomon  Wakefield  was  one  of  the  five  brothers  who  settled  between  the  present  railroad 
station  and  the  east  village  in  Webster.  He  owned  the  land  where  the  south  village  is 
now  located,  and  he  lived  there.  He  is  spoken  of,  by  the  few  who  remember  his  ministry, 
as  a  goodly  man  and  an  acceptable  preacher  in  his  day.  He  was  zealous  and  earnest  in 
his  manner  of  speaking.  He  believed  and  taught  that  ministers  should  receive  no  com- 
pensation for  their  services,  not  so  much  as  a  present.    He  held  and  preached  Armenian

views  of  doctrine.  The  more  strictly  Calvinistic  portion  of  the  church  took  exception  to 
this  and  would,  not  infrequently,  when  opportunity  was  given  at  the  close  of  the  sermon, 
as  was  then  the  custom,  express  in  warm  terms,  their  dissent  from  the  doctrine  preached 
from  the  pulpit.'  He  died  March  23,  1821,  aged  66  years.  She  died  February  9,  1814,  aged 
53  years.     (See  Chandler  (ieneaUxm.)

Benjamin  Wakefield,  of  Sutton,  Mass.,  brother  of  Jonathan,  of 
Sutton  and  Dudley.  (See  record  of  Jonathan  for  possible  parenta<je  and

Benjamin  Wakefield,  son  of  Benjamin  and  Ann  (Taylor)  Wake- 
field, was  born  in  Sutton,  Mass.,  November  14,  1734.  He  was  very  enthu- 
siastic in  the  cause  of  American  indei)endence,  as  his  extensive  records  as 
a  revolutionary  soldier  show.  The  revolutionary  war  archives  of  Massa- 
chusetts give  the  following  records  of  him: 

Benjamin  Wakefield  appears  on  a  receipt  for  advance  pay  given  to  Captain  Barnes' 
company,  in  Colonel  Woodbridge's  (Hampshire  county)  regiment,  dated  at  Camliridge 
July  30,  1775.  His  name  appears  as  private  on  the  company  return  of  Captain  Barnes' 
company,  Colonel  Woodbridge's  regiment,  dated  September  28,  1875;  belonged  to  Gage- 
borough.  We  find  his  name  on  a  list  of  men  mustered  in  Worcester  county,  to  serve  in 
Captain  Fish's  company.  Colonel  Shepard's  regiment,  by  a  return  made  by  Thomas  New- 
hall,  muster  master,  enlisted  for  "during  war,"  mustered  May  19,  1777:  also  in  muster  re- 
turn of  Captain  Fish's  company,  dated  February  3.  1778;  belonged  to  Sutton:  enlisted  for 
Sutton;  reported  enlisted  for  eight  months.  His  name  is  also  on  the  muster  roll  of  Cap- 
tain Fish's  company  for  July  and  August,  1777-8:  term  of  enlistment,  "during  war:'' re- 
ported "on  guard,"  also  on  muster  roll,  dated  Providence,  November  13,  1778;  reported  on 
duty.  Also  on  a  return  of  Captain  Thomas  Fish's  company :  service  on  or  before  August 
15,  1777.  Roll  made  up  to  Februarj'  1.  1779.  We  find  him  entered  as  private  on  muster  roll 
of  Captain  Thomas  Fish's  company.  Colonel  William  Shepard's  (3d)  regiment,  for  March 
and  April,  1779;  enlisted  April  1,  1777.  for  "during  war:'  roll  dated  Providence,  May  5, 
1779.  His  name  appears  on  Captain  Moore's  company.  Colonel  Shepard's  regiment,  April 
1,  1777,  to  December  31,  1779;  credited  to  town  of  Sutton. 

His  name  appears  on  the  return  of  Capt.  William  Moore's  company.  Col.  William 
Shepard's  (4th)  regiment,  as  private,  made  up  from  January  1  to  December  31,  1780.  en- 
listed April  14,  1777:  term  of  enlistment  "during  war":  service.  11  months.  29  days;  belong- 
ing to  Oxford.  Dated.  Mountain  Huts.  West  Point.  January  'SS,  1780.  ('/).  Transferred  to 
corps  of  invalids.  December  23.  1780:  also  on  Continental  army  pay  accounts  of  Captain 
McFarland's  company,  invalid  corps,  for  service  from  December  11,  1780,  to  December 
31,  1780.  Reported  from  Colonel  Shepard's  regiment;  also  on  pay  abstract  of  Capt.  Moses 
McFarland's  company,  invalid  corps,  at  Boston;  service  for  "October.  December.  1780: 
enlisted  for  "during  war";  dated  July  16.  1781. 

It  is  probable,  from  the  above  records  of  Benjamin's  military  services, 
that  he  wrecked  his  health  in  the  service  of  his  country,  and  that  is  doubt- 
less the  reason  'why  we  have  no  records  of  his  marriage  or  posterity.  He 
may  have  died  in  the  service,  while  far  from  his  native  home.  We  have  no 
records  of  his  death. 


150      Posterity  of  Jonathan  Wakefield  of  Sutton. 


CHAPTER  V. 


JONATHAN  WAKEFIELD,  OP  SUTTON,  AND  HIS 

POSTERITY. 

FIRST  GENERATION. 

1.  Jonathan  Wakefield,  brother  of  Benjamin,  of  Sutton  and  Dud- 
ley, was,  according  to  the  tradition  of  some  of  his  descendants,  the  son  of 
William  Wakefield,  who  married  Rebecca  Littlefield,  and  grandson  of  John 
Wakefield,  who  married  Elizabeth  Littlefield,  all  of  Wells,  Me.,  and  brother 
of  Joseph,  of  Dudley,  who  married  Mary  Robinson.  We,  however,  fail  to 
find  any  records  to  show  any  connection  with  Joseph,  and  Worcester  Deeds 
record  much  to  lead  us  to  the  belief  that  Jonathan  was  the  son  of  .John  and 
Elizabeth  (Walker)  Wakefield,  of  Boston,  whose  birth  is  recorded  Septem- 
ber 19,  1695,  and  he  is  perhaps  the  one  who  married,  firstly,  Susannah  Trask, 
December  10,  1719.  at  Salem.  In  the  above  mentioned  records  the  name  is 
written  John  instead  of  Jonathan,  but  as  these  names  were  often  con- 
founded in  early  records,  that  fact  would  not  have  much  significance.  The 
first  unquestioned  record  we  have  of  him  comes  from  the  town  records  of 
Andover,  Essex  county,  Mass.,  where  he  married,  June  22,  1733,  Miss  Abi- 
gail Smith,  of  that  town.  She  married,  secondly,  November  6,  1794,  John 
Larned,  of  Oxford,  Mass. 

It  is  evident  that  Jonathan  and  Benjamin  Wakefield  obtained  a  part 
of  their  landed  possessions  in  Dudley, by  inheritance,  as  the  liegisiry  of  Deeds 
of  Worcester  County,  in  book  vi,  p.  204,  under  date  of  September  12,  1735: 
"Benjamin  Wakefield,  of  Sutton,  and  Jonathan  Wakefield,  of  Dudley,  in 
consideration  of  £100,  convey  sixty-eight  acres  in  Dudley  to  Simeon  Cham- 
berlain, of  Dudley,  'in  our  own  good  and  proper  right  of  inheritance.' "  He 
was  tax  assessor  in  1756  and  1757.  Jonathan  Wakefield  was  a  farmer,  and 
according  to  the  war  record  of  Sutton,  he  was  in  the  British  service  be- 
tween 1755  and  1761.  Probably  in  the  campaign  of  1759,  in  the  conquest  of 
Canada,  under  General  Wolfe,  or  the  expedition  against  Ticonderoga  and 
Crown  Point,  the  same  year,  under  General  Amherst,  though  he  may  have 
been  engaged  in  other  campaigns  of  the  French  and  Indian  war. 

He  died  October,  1765.  His  will  of  October  2,  was  proved  October  22,  of 
the  same  year  (1765).  In  his  will  he  speaks  of  being  very  sick  and  weak. 
He  makes  first  provision  to  his  dear  and  beloved  wife,  Abigail,  then  to  his 
son  Jonathan,  whom  he  orders  to  take  Isaac  Wakefield  and  Mary  Wakefield, 
until  they  are  aged  respectively,  twenty  and  eighteen  years.  To  his  other 
children  he  provides  that  his  son,  Amasa,  as  his  sole  executor,  shall  pay  £4 
each  to  son  Samuel,  in  eight  years  from  date,  to  son  Silas,  in  ten  years  from 
date,  to  son  Isaiah,  in  twelve  years  from  date,  to  son  Luther,  in  fourteen 
years  from  date,  to  daughter  Tabitha,  in  six  years  from  date,  to  daughter 
Mary,  in  sixteen  years  from  date,  and  to  daughter  Abigail,  in  eighteen  years 
from  date.  He  mentions  the  fact  that  Rachel  Wheeler  has  had  her  share. 
He  provides  that  his  son  Luther  and  daughter  Abigail,  shall  be  supported 
and  educated.  The  inventory  of  his  estate  gives  its  total  valuation  as  £174 
18s  Id.     (  Worcester  Beyistry  of  Probate,  book  9,  pp.  67-69.)

SECOND  GENERATION. 

3.  Jonathan^  Wakefield  (Jonathan^),  son  of  Jonathan  and  Abig-ail 
(Smith)  Wakefield:  was  born  probably  at  his  father's  homestead  at  Dudley, 
October  16,  1736.     He  was  a  farmer,  and  resided  in  Sutton,  Mass. 

Jonathan  was  engaged  with  his  father  and  his  brother  Amasa,  in  the 
colonial  service  for  various  lengths  of  time,  between  1755  and  1761  (French 
and  Indian  war;  see  military  record  of  Jonathan,  sr.)  According  to  the 
Massachusetts  Bevolntionar;/  W((r  ^rc/iire,s,  Jonathan  Wakefield  enlisted  in  the 
colonial  army,  from  Captain  Putnam's  company,  and  Colonel  Holman's  regi- 
ment, for  nine  months.  He  was  mustered  June  29,  1775.  He  is  recorded 
as  belonging  to  Sutton,  Mass.  "Colonel  Jonathan  Holman  (a  veteran  of  the 
British  service  in  Canada),  raised  from  the  vicinity  of  Sutton  what  was 
known  as  the  "Sutton  Regiment,"  long  before  the  battle  of  Lexington,  and 
as  soon  as  the  news  of  that  fight  reached  them,  they  sprang  to  the  saddle, 
and,  riding  all  night,  reached  Concord  just  as  the  British  were  retreating. 
This  regiment  was  destined  to  a  very  long  and  severe  service,  from  its  very 
early  rally  to  the  cause,  ending  finally  at  the  great  battle  of  Saratoga, 
nearly  two  years  later." 

According  to  the  Ilisfori/  of  Sutton,  they  were  incorporated  into  the  army  of  General 
Washington  at  Cambridge  {probably  at  the  above  given  date,  June  29,  1775),  and  began 
the  march  with  him  soon  after  the  evacuation  of  Boston,  proceeding  tirst  to  Rhode  Island, 
thence  to  Long  Island,  where  they  were  engaged  in  battle,  thence  up  the  Hudson  River 
to  White  Plains,  Avhere  in  that  hard  fought  battle  the  'Sutton  Regiment''  bore  a  promi- 
nent part ;  though  this  much  reduced  it.  it  returned  the  largest  list  of  men  after  the  battle. 
During  the  seige  of  Boston  it  was  this  regiment  from  which  the  detachment  was  made 
for  the  fortification  of  "Nook's  Hill."  on  the  night  of  the  9th  of  March,  1776.  Dorchester 
Neck  is  very  uneven,  abounding  in  hills  and  valleys.  Nook  Hill  in  the  northwestern  part 
of  it,  less  than  half  a  mile  from  the  Height,  was  a  very  important  location  for  a  battery, 
on  account  of  its  proximity  to  Boston. 

It  was  an  eminence  fifty  feet  or  upwards  above  the  sea.  Washington  made  up  his 
mind  to  fortify  it,  and  Saturday  night,  March  9.  sent  a  detachment  for  that  purpose.  It 
was  a  cold,  blustering  night  and  the  soldiers  were  so  imjjrudent  as  to  build  a  fire  for  their 
comfort.  This  was  seen  by  the  British  in  Boston,  who  opened  a  severe  fire  upon  them,  and 
Jonathan  Wakefield  was  one  of  four  soldiers  and  a  surgeon  who  was  killed  by  the  same 
shot  of  a  cannon  ball.  The  scene  of  this  tragedy  is  often  spoken  of  as  Dorchester  Heights, 
but  more  properly  called  Dorchester  Point. 

Jonathan  Wakefield  married  May  21,  1760,  Miss  Anne  Wheeler,  daugh- 
ter of and Wheeler;  and  sister  of  Abel  Wheeler,  sr. , 

who  married  Jonathan's  sister,  Rebecca  Wakefield.  She  died  December  24, 
1829,  aged  89  years,  and  is  interred  at  the  North  Newport,  New  Hampshire, 
cemetery.  She  is  described  as  a  woman  about  five  feet  tall.  Jonathan  Wake- 
field died  intestate,  and  his  brother  Amasa  was  appointed  administrator  of 
his  estate.  The  Worcester  Begistrii  of  Probate,  vol  xiii,  p.  548,  and  vol.  xiv,  p.  319, 
records  the  inventory  ot  same,  totaling  £313  9s  Sd,  real  and  personal,  and  on 
April  9,  1778,  Amasa  Wakefield  gave  his  balance  of  £1  10.s  OfZ,  which  was  al- 
lowed the  widow,  and  he  was  discharged.  Vol.  xix,  p.  427,  under  date  April 
19,  1782,  Jonathan,  jr.,  and  Josiah,  his  son,  receipted  for  their  part  of  the 
estate,  to  John  Elliott,  their  guardian.

removed  to  Newport,  N.  H.,  between  1775  and  1793.    The  history  of  Newport

"A  colony  came  from  Massachusetts,  mostly  from  Sutton,  composed  of  WakefleldS' 
Havens,  Wheelers,  Stows,  and  others,  and  settled  in  the  northwestern  part  of  Newport' 
and  southwestern  part  of  Croydon.  Their  center  of  business,  where  they  had  a  store, 
school  house,  tannery,  and  mechanic's  shop,  was  on  the  road  between  Maj.  Josiah  Wake- 
field's place,  north  of  Northville,  and  the  Croydon  line.  As  this  colony  were  nearly  all 
Baptists  the  locality  was  soon  known  as  Baptist  Hill." 

He  had  literary  tastes  and  kept  the  Northville  Library  many  years.  He 

was  a  man  of  sound  judgment,  and  enjoyed  the  confidence  of  his  townsmen. 

Josiah  Wakefield  served  in   the  Revolutionary  war,  and  the  Massachusetts

123.  Charles  Austin-''  Wakefield  [Jonathan,*  Jonathan,^  Jonathan,^ 
Jonathan^),  son  of  Jonathan  and  Rebecca  (Haven)  Wakefield;  born  at 
Cornish,  N.  H.,  October  18,  1817.  Resided  at  New  Haven,  Conn.,  Dalton, 
Mass.,  and  Pittsfield,  Mass.  He  came  to  Ijoston,  Mass.,  from  Cornish,  N.H., 
on  attaining  his  majority;  published  several  engravings  from  his  own  de- 
signs, with  which  he  traveled  extensively  over  the  United  States.  He  also 
lectured  on  electricity  and  the  Morse  telegraph  for  some  time,  when  it  was 
still  a  wonder  and  a  mystery  to  the  masses.  He  married  September  (3,  1842, 
Cynthia  Chapin,  daughter  of  William  and  Lydia  Robinson,  who  was  born 
April  18,  1821,  and  died  February  1,  1880,  in  Pittsfield,  Mass.  They  were 
both  constituent  members  of  the  Tremont  Temple  Baptist  church.  In  1845 
he  moved  to  Elizabethtown,  N.Y.,  where  he  bought  a  farm,  built  a  house, 
and  raised  poultry  on  a  large  scale,  for  the  Boston  market.  As  erious  de- 
pression in  business  caused  him  to  fail.  He  had  a  scientific  mind  and  was 
the  'father  of  many  inventions."  He  had  one  in  his  mind  at  this  time,  and 
after  settling  with  his  creditors  he  took  his  family  to  his  wife's  native 
town  to  remain  temporarily,  until  he  perfected  the  "Wakefield  Hand  Corn- 
Planter."  He  then  removed  to  New  Haven,  Conn.,  and  built  up  a  large 
business.  As  soon  as  he  was  ''on  his  feet"  he  went  to  Elizabethtown  and 
paid  all  his  old  debts  (though  settled),  with  interest.  This  scrupulous 
honesty  was  characteristic  of  his  whole  life.  As  his  business  increased  he 
removed  to  Dalton,  Mass.,  in  1857,  where  he  built  a  reservoir  and  shop  for 
manufacturing  his  planters.  (This  is  now  the  Renfrew  cotton  mills.) 
Later  the  Civil  war  came  on,  comj^letely  destroying  the  larger  part  of  his 
business  which  was  in  the  south.  Besides  this,  the  hand-planters  were  soon 
superceded  by  horse  machines  in  the  west,  and  he  was  driven  into  financial 
reverses.  He  sold  his  property  to  pay  his  creditors,  bought  a  small  farm 
in  Pittsfield,  Mass  ,  about  the  year  18(53,  and  with  characteristic  energy  set 
about  retrieving  his  fortune,  and  in  a  few  years  was  free  from  debt.  Here 
he  invented  the  "Wakefield  earth  closet"  and  built  a  shop  for  their  manu- 
facture. Undaunted  by  losses  by  war  and  fire,  he  built  up  a  good  business 
in  the  closets,  which  he  carried  on  in  connection  with  his  farming,  until  his 
infirmities  compelled  him  gradually  to  lay  down  his  activities.  His  farm, 
which  he  had  drained  and  brought  to  a  high  state  of  cultivation,  and  which 
was  well  known  among  poultry  fanciers,  for  its  purity  of  stock,  was  sold  at 
his  wife's  death,  and  he  made  his  home  with  his  daughter  and  son  until  his 
death  a  few  years  later.  While  not  highly  educated  in  the  schools,  he  was 
extremely  intelligent  and  well  informed;  his  scientific  turn  of  mind  making 
him  a  searcher  after  knowledge,  a  deep  thinker  and  reader.  His  travels, 
added  to  his  general  information,  made  him  an  excellent  and  interesting 
companion.  He  was  kind-hearted,  helpful,  with  a  fund  of  good  common 
sense,  strictly  honorable,  energetic,  and  apt,  doing  quickly  and  well  what-

ever  he  undertook.  He  was  a  scientific  farmer,  having  a  natural  gift  in 
horticulture  and  forestry,  and  was  active  in  the  Grange  movement  from  its 
early  history.     He  died  August  17,  1893,  respected  by  all  who  knew  him.

CHAPTER  VIII. 


JOHN  WAKEFIELD,  OP  NEW  HAVEN,  AND  HIS 

POSTERITY. 

FIRST  GENERATION. 

1.  John  Wakefield,  the  prog-enitor  of  the  New  Haven  branch  of 
th"e  American  Wakefields,  was  one  of  the  earliest  settlers  and  proprietors 
of  New  Haven.  It  is  not  known  whether  he  came  over  in  the  colony  with 
John  Davenport  and  Theophilus  Eaton  in  l(i37,  or  not;  or  whether  or  not  he 
was  one  of  the  original  band  that  founded  New  Haven  in  1638. 

The  first  record  we  have  of  him  is  of  date  Novemljer  4,  1640,  when  at  a  meeting  of  the 
general  court  at  New  Haven,  he  testified  in  behalf  of  Edward  Adams,  who  was  accused  of 
perjury  by  Arthur  Halbridge,  but  duly  acquitted. 

On  the  5th  of  August,  1642,  the  general  court  convened,  and  John  Wakefield,  the 
miller,  testified  that  Richard  Beach  did  some  work  at  the  mill  insubstantially,  which  was 
ordered  made  good. 

John  Wakefield's  name  is  included  in  a  list  of  free  burgesses,  of  August  5,  1644. 

At  the  general  court,  held  the  10th  of  March,  1648,  the  names  of  people  as  they  were 
seated  in  the  meeting  house  was  read  and  was  ordered  recorded;  on  the  south  side  of  the 
door  John  Wakefield, (2)  and  on  the  other  (woman's  side)  Sister  Wakefield. 

It  is  supposed  that  in  1646  or  1647,  John  Wakefield  was  in  Watertown,  Mass.,  as  in  the 
inventory  of  the  estate  of  Nathaniel  Sparrowhawke.  who  died  June  27,  1647,  among  the 
Watertown  Debts  "Good"  appears  the  name  of  John  Wakefield.  Again,  upon  the  marriage 
of  Mar}^  (Wakefield)  Dibble  to  James  Hillyer,  on  June  28,  1677.  she  is  referred  to  as  the 
"daughter  of  John  Wakefield,  of  Watertown."  He,  however,  is  not  recorded  in  Watertown 
as  a  resident  of  that  i)lace. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  general  court  on  the  3d  of  January,  1648,  (New  Haven)  the  Court 
ordered  that  "John  Wakefield  keep  the  mill,  until  George  Laremore  attend  this  meeting," 
to  consider  the  repairing  of  the  meeting  house. 

A  court  held  at  New^Haven  the  (5th  of  March.  1648,  John  Wakefield,  among  others,  was 
complained  of,  on  account  of  his  fence  being  down,  which  he  was  ordered  to  mend. 

At  a  court  held  at  New  Haven,  the  6th  of  November.  1649.  John  Thompson  was  com- 
plained of  for  suffering  his  hogs  to  go  abroad  in  the  summer,  contrary  to  order.  John 
Wakefield  testified  in  his  behalf. 

John  Wakefield  died  in  1660,  and  his  will  was  proved  December  4  of  the 
same  year.  At  a  court  of  magistrates  held  at  New  Haven,  27th  of  May, 
1661,  an  inventory  of  the  estate  of  John  Wakefield,  of  New  Haven,  de- 
ceased, amounting-  to  £116  3,s  1(Z,  was  presented,  and  by  the  widow  of  the 
deceased,  then  attested  to  contain  ye  whole  estate  of  her  late  husband  to 
ye  value  of  10s,  to  ye  best  of  her  knowledge.  Will  Tompson  and  Roger 
Allen,  upon  oath,  witnessed  that  "ye  value  was  just,  according  to  their  best 
light." 

After  his  death  his  widow,  Ann,  married,  October  17, 1661,  James  Clark, 
of  New  Haven,  who,  in  1639,  formed,  with  Governor  Eaton  and  company, 
the  civil  compact  of  June  4.  They  removed  to  Stratford  before  1669,  and 
may  have  had  children  at  both  places.     She  died  in  1695.

James  Wakefield,  son  of  ,  supposed  to  be  a  descendant  of  the 

Maine  family. 

Our  first  record  of  the  name  we  get  from  Mill's  Statistics  of  South  Carolina,  p.  261: 
"To  convince  the  inhabitants  that  the  conquerors  were  seriously  resolved  to  banish  all 
who  refused  to  become  subjects,  an  additional  number,  who  still  remained  prisoners  on 
parole,  was  shipped  off  on  the  15th  of  November,  1780.  On  this  list,  from  Charlestown, 
S.  C,  by  Lord  Cornwallis,  was  James  Wakefield."  The  same  list  also  occurs  in  Ramsay's 
History  of  South  Carolina,  and  with  the  note:  "Most  of  these  were  entitled  to  the  benefits 
of  the  capitulation  of  Charlestown."'  The  prominent  citizens  of  Charlestown  given  in 
this  list  were  banished  by  the  British,  and  shipped  to  St.  Augustine.  Fla.  Johnson's 
Traditions  of  ttie  Bevolution,  p.  317.  also  gives  a  full  account  of  the  above,  and  mentions 
John  Wakefield,  quartermaster,  but  Ramsey's  History  of  South  Carolina.  1809,  p.  373,  vol.  i, 
in  that  of  1785,  p.  4.59,  gives  the  name  as  James,  which  is  probably  correct. 

Our  next  record  of  him  is  of  date  1784.  when  he  mortgaged  his  property  on  Milk 
street,  in  Boston,  to  J.  Davis.  [Suffolk  Deeds,  libre  145,  folio  242.)  In  1786  he  mortgaged 
property  in  Boston  to  E.  Wyer,  wife  Ann,  released  dower.  (Suffollc  Deeds,  libre  158,  folio 
176.)  In  the  Boston  Directories  for  1789  and  1796,  he  appears  as  a  painter,  residing  on  Milk 
street.  A  Boston  record  describes  his  familj'  as  composed  of  "one  male,  16  years  and 
upward,  two  males  below  16,  and  four  females,  including  heads  of  family.''  In  1793  he 
gave  mortgages,  to  Benjamin  Dearborn  and  Elizabeth  Cole,  on  property  on  Milk  street, 
his  wife,  Ann.  releasing  dower.  {Suffolk  Deeds,  libre  175,  folios  217  and  255,  and  libre  177, 
folio  148.)  From  Bounds  and  Valuations  in  Boston,  October  1,  1798,  we  are  able  to  locate 
James  Wakefield's  property  as  1,108  square  feet  on  the  south  side  of  Milk  street,  Benja- 
min Dearborn's  property  intervening  between  his  and  theater  alley  on  the  east.)  The- 
ater alley  extends  from  53  Milk  street,  to  Franklin  street.)  His  property  consisted  of 
two  frame  dwellings,  his  own  three  stories  in  height,  with  twenty-nine'  windows,  and 
the  other  occupied  by  Joseph  Stokes.  416  square  feet  area,  one  story  "high,  eight  windows, 
valued  at  £150,  the  former  at  $4,000.

was  a  physician  and  another  a  minister.  Prior  to  1855  he  removed  to  Sauk 
Rapids,  Benton  county,  Minn.,  and  on  December  30,  1855,  he  married  Miss

CHAPTER  X. 


THE  ANGLO -IRISH- AMERICAN  FAMILY. 

A  Consolidation  of  the  Posterity  of  the  Emigrants 
Matthew,  David,  and  Andrew  Wakefield. 


COMMON  ORIGIN  AND  ANCESTRY. 

Practically  all,  if  not  entirely  all,  of  the  Wakefields  that  settled  in 
Pennsylvania,  and  as  will  be  seen,  others  settling  later  in  New  York  and 
New  Jersey,  emigrated  directly  from  Ireland,  and  are  descendants  of  a  com- 
mon ancestor  who  came  from  England  before  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth 
century.  A  traditional  history,  universal  among  this  branch  of  the  family, 
and  one  that  varies  but  little,  in  its  essential  features,  has  been  received 
by  the  compiler  of  this  work,  from  descendants,  now  scattered  in  all  parts 
of  America.  An  epitome  of  this  tradition  begins  with  the  emigrant  from 
England  to  Ireland.  It  appears  that  he  was  an  officer  of  an  English  army 
stationed  in  Ireland  for  the  purpose  of  protecting  a  forcibly  established 
colony  there,  and  that  he  shared  with  this  colony  a  division  of  land,  and 
that  trouble  was  encountered  in  holding  the  granted  estate  until  the  com- 
plete subjugation  of  Ireland  by  Cromwell  in  16-1:9-50.  One  representative  of 
this  family  has  named  the  Norman  invasion  as  the  occasion  of  the  settle- 
ment of  his  ancestors,  but  this  is  doubtless  erroneous,  and  the  plantation  of 
Ulster,  before  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  century  is  probably  the  real 
incidence.  History  tells  us  that  in  the  plantation  of  Ulster,  Tyrone,  Done- 
gal, Armagh,  Caven,  Fermanagh,  and  Derry,  were  parcelled  out  among 
English  and  Scotch  colonies.  The  site  of  Derry  was  granted  to  citizens  of 
London  who  fortified  and  armed  it.  As  an  illustration  of  the  difficulty  en- 
countered in  holding  said  estates  we  quote  from  history: 

"In  163.5  the  English  army  was  disbanded,  and  the  Catholic  Insurgents,  in  1641,  at- 
tacked Dublin  and  soon  became  masters  of  the  whole  country.  Ormond  was  forced  to 
surrender  Dublin  and  the  inextricable  knot  awaited  Cromwell's  sword." 

The  first  official  record  of  a  Wakefield  in  Ireland,  we  find  in  the 
Remembrances  of  the  Excheqioer,  Dublin;  .John  Wakefield  is  mentioned  under 
date  1637.     (See  liecords  of  Ireland,  p.  610,  pub.  1821-1825.) 

In  The  Landed  Gentry  When  Cromwell  Came  to  Ireland,  by  John  O'Hart, 
Dublin,  1884:  Among  the  enrollments  of  the  adjudications  in  favor  of  the 
1,649  officers,  formerly  designed  the  "49  lots,"  preserved  in  the  office  of 
the  chief,  John  Wakefield  is  enrolled. 

These  adjudications  refer  to  the  arrears  of  the  commissioned  officers 
who  served  Charles  I  before  the  5th  of  June,  1649,  in  the  various  wars  of 
Ireland.  The  index  locorum  of  these  enrollments  is  given  on  pp.  638-647  of 
the  Records  of  Ireland,  above  mentioned.  (See  3d  ed.  of  O'Hart's  Irish 
Pedigrees. ) 

It  is  confirmed  by  the  above  official  records  that  the  above-named 
commissioned  officer  in  the  English  army  of  Charles  I  was  the  landed  pro- 
prietor of  official  record,  which  establishes  without  doubt  the  truth  of  the 
family  tradition  as  to  their  original  progenitor.  It  is  proper  to  say  here 
that  Charles  I  succeeded  his  father,  James  I,  in  1625,  and  it  was  he  who  so 
much  persecuted  Puritans  in  England,  and  was  responsible  for  their  enor- 
mous emigrations  to  New  England.     Many  of  these  non-conformists,  seeing 


214  The  Anglo-Irish-American  Family. 


in  Ireland  an  opening  for  colonists,  apparently  equal  to  that  of  America, 
were  easily  induced  to  join  the  English  army  for  its  conquest. 

We  have  no  official  records  of  the  family  relation  of  this  progenitor, 
but  we  feel  justified  in  assuming  that  the  family  tradition,  that  two 
brothers  were  fellow  colonists  in  Ireland,  one  of  whom  attained  prominence 
in  the  army,  and  the  other  in  politics,  is  correct.  In  confirmation  of  this 
we  herewith  submit  a  record,  which  doubtless  refers  to  the  latter:  "Alder- 
man Thomas  Wakefield,  Ulster's  office,  Dublin,  buried  in  St.  Werburgh's 
church,  February  19,  1658."  (See  p.  1,063,  General  Armory  of  England,  IScot- 
land,  Ireland,  and  Wcdes),  by  Sir  Bernard  Burke.  It  will  be  seen  that  his 
armorial  bearing  indicates  his  descent,  either  directly  or  indirectly,  from 
the  Yorkshire,  England,  family. 

There  is  a  family  tradition  that  one  of  the  early  colonists  in  Ireland, 
William  Wakefield,  emigrated  to  America  at  a  very  early  date,  but  not 
being  infatuated  with  American  pioneer  life,  he  returned,  and  settled  in 
Ireland.  If  this  tradition  is  fact,  it  will  be  seen  that  there  were  probably 
three  original  Anglo-Irish  emigrants.  Turning  to  the  records  of  American 
families,  we  find  the  above  tradition  substantiated,  in  part,  by  records  of  a 
William  Wakefield,  who  sailed  from  Southampton,  England,  in  May,  1638, 
on  ship  "Bevis,"  Robert  Batten,  master,  with  wife  or  sister,  Anne,  William 
being  aged  :22,  and  Anne,  20  years.  He  was  probably  a  brother  or  cousin  of 
John  Wakefield,  of  Wells  and  Biddleford,  Ale.,  as  he  accompanied  on  the 
above  voyage,  Annis  Littlefield,  wife,  and  several  children  of  Edmund 
Littlefield,  father-in-law  of  the  said  John  Wakefield.  (See  p.  136.)  This 
William  Wakefield,  after  eight  years  of  residence  in  Hampton,  N.H.,  and 
Newbury,  Mass.,  disappears  entirely  from  American  records,  and  may 
have  returned  to  the  mother  country,  and  fulfilled  the  tradition  above 
given. 

We  have  failed  to  obtain  from  the  present  day  descendants,  in  Ireland, 
any  data,  necessary  to  the  completing  of  the  line  of  descent  to  either 
themselves  or  their  American  cousins,  so  we  again  take  up  the  traditions 
of  the  latter:  Doctor  Albert  Wakefield,  who  we  will  assume  to  be  the  son 
of  the  emigrant  and  military  chieftain,  John  Wakefield,  was  a  surgeon  on 
the  staff  of  William  of  Orange,  when  on  his  Irish  invasion,  and  at  the  battle 
of  the  Boyne,  July  1,  1690,  he  dressed  the  wound  of  William  with  such 
skill,  and  so  won  his  confidence  and  good  will,  that  on  the  completion  of  the 
conquest,  at  the  battle  of  Aughrim,  July  12,  1691,  by  William's  request,  an 
estate,  comprising  the  site  of  the  battleground,  was  granted  him,  and  is 
now  the  property  of  the  male  line  of  descendants.  Mr.  David  B.  Pilch,  of 
Jersey  City,  N.  J  ,  a  descendant,  has  in  his  possession  a  piece  of  William's 
waistcoat  that  was  saved  by  the  surgeon  and  handed  down  to  posterity  as  a 
memento  of  the  historic  occasion.  Referring  again  to  history,  we  find  a 
detailed  account  of  the  incident  that  is  not  without  interest  to  the  reader, 
and  especially  to  the  descendants  of  Dr.  Albert  Wakefield: 

"Some  of  the  English  dragoons  approached  the  river  and  were  fired  upon  by  the 
Irish.  They  returned  the  fire,  and  while  the  attention  of  both  sides  was  engaged  by  the 
skirmish,  a" party  of  Irish  cavalry  moved  slowly  down  towards  the  river,  and  halted  be- 
hind a  low  hedge,  and  then  wheeling  about  again  retired.  The  movements  of  the  king 
and  the  group  of  officers  accompanying  him'  had  been  observed  in  the  Irish  army,  and 
two  tield  pieces  were  sent  down  concealed  in  the  center  of  the  cavalrv.  The  guns  had 
been  placed  behind  the  hedge  when  the  horsemen  withdrew,  and  when  William  rose  from, 
the  ground  and  mounted  his  horse  fire  was  opened.  The  first  cannon  shot  killed  two 
horses  and  a  man  by  his  side.  The  next  grazed  the  King's  right  shoulder,  tearing  away 
his  coat  and  inflicting  a  slight  flesh  wound.  Had  the  aim  been  slightly  more  accurate,  or 
had  the  gunners  fired  with  grape  instead  of  round  shot,  it  is  probable  that  the  whole 
course  of  history  would  have  been  changed.  The  rumor  spread  through  both  armies 
that  the  king  was  killed,  but  the  wound  was  a  slight  one,  and  having  had  it  hastily  bound  up 
the  kin^^  rode  quietly  through  the  camps  in  order  to  show  the  men  that  the  wound  was 
not  serious."  (Battle  of  Boyne.  Henty's  Oranc/e  (S:  Green:  A  Tale  of  Boyne  and  Litnerick. 
P.  148.) 

Let  us  now  turn  to  history  in  search  of  the  conditions  and  circum- 
stances under  which  the  family  estates  were  first  granted,  surrendered,  and 
later  re-granted. 

"It  will  be  remembered  that  in  1642.  in  consequence  of  the  dimensions  which  the 
Rebellion  had  then  assumed,  confiscated  between  two  and  three  million  acres  of  Irish 
soil.  Debenture  bonds  were  issued  payable  in  land  when  the  countrj'  should  be  recon- 
quered.   Bonds  for  a  million  acres  had  been  taken  up,  and  money  raised  on  them,  for  the 


First  Generation.  215 


troupe  sent  to  Ireland  previous  to  Cromwell's  arrival.  Similar  debentures  were  issued 
afterwards  for  Cromwell's  own  army,  not  thrown  upon  the  market  like  the  ttrst,  but  given 
to  the  soldiers  in  lieu  of  their  pay.  The  intention  was  that  the  men  who  conquered  Ire- 
land should  remain  to  hold  it.  The  country  was  to  be  occupied,  in  old  Roman  fashion,  by 
military  colonies.  *  *  *  The  Cromwellian  conquest  had  been  in  fact  a  resubjugation  of 
Ireland  by  England  and  in  the  name  of  England.  English  authority  had  been,  for  the 
tlrst  time,  completely  established  over  the  whole  Island.  The  new  protestant  gentry 
were  shrewd  men  of  business  who  meant  to  incur  no  more  risks  than  they  could  help. 
They  had  come  to  Ireland  to  push  their  way  by  English  energy  and  enterprise. 

"So  rapidly  under  the  Cromwellian  despotism  had  the  wealth  of  Ireland  increased, 
that  having  been  brought  to  the  lowest  depths  she  was  now  able(1663),  after  defraying  all 
her  own  expenses,  to  settle  on  the  King  a  permanent  revenue  of  30,000  a  year. 

"So  went  matters  all  through  the  year  1687.  and  for  ten  months  of  1688,  when  the  news 
came  that  the  Prince  of  Orange  bad  landed  and  that  the  King  was  a  fugitive.  Except  in 
Ulster,  among  the  persecuted  Presbyterians,  the  English  could  count  on  no  friends  in 
Ireland;  and  without  a  party  among  themselves,  would  be  too  weak  to  resist  the  reviving 
energy  of  the  native  race. 

•■The  uncertainty  was  at  an  end.  Williams  overtures  were  construed  into  a  con- 
sciousness of  weakness,  and  all  Catholic  Ireland  was  called  under  arms.  The  property  of 
the  protestant  farmers  and  gentlemen  was  generally  seized.  Cows  and  sheep  were  driven 
off;  'all  was  gone  in  three  months,  to  the  value  <if  a  million  of  money.'  What  could  not 
be  consumed  or  carried  off  was  destroyed,  that  'the  damned-whigs  might  not  have  the 
benefit  of  it.'  The  gentlemen  throughout  Ulster  armed  their  tenants  as  well  as  they  were 
able,  and  re-established  their  disbanded  militia." 

"The  repeal  was  passed.  Every  one  who  held  an  estate  under  the  acts  of  settlement 
was  dispossessed.  The  old  proprietors  were  re-instated  in  their  inheritance,  and  made 
the  happy  owners  of  the  wealth  which  had  accumulated  there.  The  rejected  colonists 
were  to  receive  compensation  when  they  could  get  it.  The  Irish  Catholics  were  thus  re- 
stored to  all  which  they  had  lost  by  the  rebellion  of  1641.  There  remained  to  be  recovered 
the  forfeitures  from  the  Elizabethian  wars  and  the  six  counties  of  the  Ulster  settlement. 
Process  taken  upon  these  was  as  complete  as  it  was  summary.  Almost  all  the  leading 
Prt)testants  in  Ireland  were  comprehended  l)y  name  in  one  sweeping  act  of  attainer. 
Two  thousand  six  hundred  land  owners,  commencing  with  the  Archbishop  of  Dublin 
and  the  Duke  of  Ormond,  were  declared  guilty  of  adherence  to  the  Prince  of  Orange,  and 
to  have  forfeited  their  estates  by  treason.  The  conditions  of  1651  were  reversed.  Then 
all  Catholics  were  held  responsible  for  the  rebellion  of  1641:  now  all  Protestants  were 
partisans  of  the  Prince  of  Orange  (1689)." 

"To  King  William  himself  the  Irish  Protestants  were  enthusiastically  grateful.  He 
had  come  in  person  to  fight  their  battle,  and  he  had  been  wounded  in  their  cause.  Wher- 
ever he  went  he  freely  risked  his  life,  and  he  was  known  to  be  incapable  of  being  influ- 
enced by  mean  considerations." 

"Among  the  Scotch  and  English  settlers  in  Ireland  none  had  deserved  better  than 
the  Non-conformists,  none  had  been  worse  rewarded.  When  the  High  Church  party  went 
with  Ormond  and  the  Kilkenney  Council,  at  the  close  of  the  rebellion  of  1641,  a  Puritan 
army  recovered  the  country  to  England." 

"The  Ulster  Calvinists  had  won  immortal  honor,  and  saved  England  half  the  labor 
of  re-conquest,  by  their  share  in  the  defense  of  Derry.  In  them  there  was  a  vigorous  and 
living  power  in  antagonism  to  Popery." 

"The  Irish  established  a  clergy,  the  Irish  peers  and  the  great  land-owners  were  ardent 
High  Churchmen,  dreading  nothing  so  much  as  to  be  confounded  with  the  Cromwellians, 
to  whom  most  of  them  owed  their  estates:  and,  though  reconciled  outwardly  to  the  revo- 
lution by  the'.want  of  discrimination  in  James  Parliament,  which  had  not  distinguished 
between  them  and  the  Calvinists,  yet  they  were  loud  as  ever  against  principles  of  church 
government  which  tended,  as  they  were  pleased  to  say,  to  Republicanism." 

"And  now  commenced  the  Protestant  emigration,  which  robbed  Ireland  of  the 
bravest  defenders  of  English  interests,  and  peopled  the  American  sea-board  with  fresh 
flights  of  Puritans.  Twenty  thousand  left  Ulster  on  the  destruction  of  the  woolen  trade. 
The  stream  had  slackened,  in  the  hope  that  the  law  would  be  altered.  When  the  prospect 
was  finally  closed,  men  of  spirit  and  energy  refused  to  remain  in  a  country  where  they 
were  held  unfit  to  receive  the  right  of  citizens,  and  thenceforward,  until  the  spell  of 
tyranny  was  broken  in  1782,  annual  ship-loads  of  families  poured  themselves  out  of  Bel- 
fast and  Londonderry.  The  resentment  which  they  carried  with  them  continued  to  burn 
in  their  new  homes,  and,  in  the  War  of  Independence,  England  had  no  fiercer  enemies 
than  the  grandsons  and  great-grandsons  of  the  Presbyterians,  who  had  held  Ulster  against 
Tyrconnell.' 

"In  1795,  the  word  had  gone  out  among  the  Defenders  to  resume  work  and  secure 
the  arms  of  the  Protestant  gentry.  First  in  Connaught,  and  then  gradually  in  all  parts 
of  Ireland,  bodies  of  men,  who  seemed  to  have  started  out  of  the  earth,  were  out  at  night 
on  the  prowl  like  wild  beasts.  Houses  were  burnt.  When  arms  were  demanded  and  were 
not  delivered,  death  was  the  punishment.  Barracks  were  surprised  in  the  darkness. 
Parties  of  militia  were  attacked  even  in  open  day  with  desperate  courage." 

The  above  are  miscellaneous  extracts  from  The  English  in  Ireland  in  the 
Eighteenth  Century,  by  James  A.  Froude,  New  York,  1873.  It  vyill  be  noted 
that  the  explanation  is  complete:  First,  why  the  estate  in  Ulster  was  sur- 
rendered by  the  family;  second,  why  the  second  g'eneration  became  adher- 
ents of  the  Prince  of  Orange;  third,  why  the  family  seat  was  transferred  to 
Connaught;  and  fourth,  why,  other  than  the  successors  to  the  estate,  emi- 
grated to  America.  It  is  probable  that  at  least  Alderman  Thomas  Wake- 
field was  a  High  Churchman,  as  the  aldermen  were  appointed  by  the 
viceroy,  and  Ormond,  the  holder  of  this  office  from  his  appointment  by 
Charles,  was  a  High  Churchman,  and  probably  made  his  appointments 
only  from  that  class. 


216  The  Anglo-Irish-American  Family. 


According  to  information  imparted  by  Thomas  Wakefield  (son  of  the 
emigrant,  David,)  to  his  grandson,  David  H.  Wakefield,  of  Redstone,  Penn., 
and  by  him  transmitted  to  the  compiler,  Thomas  Wakefield's  grandfather 
(father  of  David)  was  named  Robert,  who  was  a  son  of  Robert.  The  elder 
Robert,  died  in  England  in  the  prime  of  life  from  a  wound  received  in 
battle;  was  an  only  child. 

In  harmony  with  the  statement  of  Dr.  William  Wakefield,  of  Hum- 
boldt, Kans.,  that  David  Wakefield,  the  emigrant,  was  a  nephew  of  his 
ancestor,  the  emigrant  Matthew  Wakefield,  sr.;  and  that  of  the  late  Mr. 
Campbell  Wakefield,  of  Heyworth,  111.,  that  his  ancestor,  the  emigrant 
Andrew  Wakefield,  was  a  nephew  of  the  senior  Matthew  Wakefield,  taken 
together  with  the  official  and  traditional  records  given  above,  we  must 
arrive  at  the  following  conclusion:  The  emigrant  from  England  to  Ireland 
was  John  Wakefield,  who  had  (possibly  among  other  children).  Dr.  Albert 
Wakefield,  who  had  an  only  son,  Robert  Wakefield.  Robert  had  (possibly 
among  other  children)  Robert  Wakefield,  Matthew  Wakefield,  the  emi- 
grant, who  married  Bridget  Banks,  and  Andrew  Wakefield,  sr.,  who  mar- 
ried Margaret  Reddick,  and  remained  in  Ireland  on  the  family  estate  in 
Aughrim,  where  he  died. 

In  order  to  bring  together  into  one  genealogical  classification,  the  pos- 
terity of  the  descendants  of  the  emigrants,  David,  Matthew,  sr.,  and  An- 
drew, jr.,  we  will  begin  the  American  families  and  trace  descent  from  a 
common  progenitor,  Robert  Wakefield,  son  of  Dr.  Albert  Wakefield,  who  is 
noticed  above.  Of  Robert  we  can  give  no  records  of  birth,  marriage,  or 
death,  except  as  above  given.

THIRD  GENERATION. 

5.  David^*   Wakefield   {Bobert,^   Bobert^),   son   of  Robert  and 

Wakefield;  born ,  on  the  family  estate,  on  the  road,  between  Aughrim 

and  Ballinasloe,  Galway  county,  Ireland;   he  married, ,  Mary  Jane,  or 

Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Jeremiah  Wade,  a  wealthy  landed  proprietor,  and 
neighbor  of  the  Wakefield  family,  in  Galway  county,  Ireland.  David  Wake- 
field emigrated  to  America  between  1768  and  1773.  According  to  tradition,  he 
was  implicated,  with  his  brothers,  in  the  plot  against  Catholic  rule  in  Ire- 
land, and  when  detected,  David  was  hid  by  his  wife  in  a  hogshead  of  clothes, 
with  which  she  embarked  on  an  American-bound  vessel,  and  was  three 
days  out  at  sea  before  the  captain  of  the  ship  knew  that  he  was  on  board. 
By  this  means  he  escaped  to  America.  Upon  his  arrival,  he  first  settled  in 
Path  Valley,  situated  between  the  Tuscarora  and  Conecocheague  moun- 
tains, in  Perry  county,  then  Cumberland  county,  Penn.,  where  some  of  the 
younger  of  the  children  were  born.  After  residing  there  for  some  fifteen 
or  sixteen  years,  he  settled  on  the  north  of  the  Conemaugh,  opposite  Squir- 
rel Hill,  then  in  Cumberland  county,  but  now  in  Indiana  county,  and 
where  the  village  of  Centreville  now  is.  After  remaining  there  for  some 
two  years,  finding  the  title  to  the  land  was  defective,  they  again  removed, 
five  miles  northwest,  to  near  the  head  of  the  west  branch  of  Richard's 
Run,  in  Wheatfield  township,  some  time  between  the  years  1788  and  1794, 
where  they  remained,  and  where  David  died,  and  is  buried,  no  gravestone 
marking  the  place.  After  his  death,  his  widow  went  to  live  with  her 
oldest  daughter,  Joanna,  who  married  William  Carroll,  and  resided  in  the 
Wolf  Creek  settlement,  in  Mercer  county,  where  she  died.

Third  Generation.  219 


1768,  in  Kishacoquillas  valley,  Penn.,  and  moved  to  Nelson  county,  Ky.,  in 
1787.  In  emigTating  on  this  long-  journey  through  the  wilderness,  their  per- 
sons, provisions,  cooking-  utensils,  and  other  effects,  were  transported  on 
horseback.  The  "long-  pot"  which  was  thus  carried  from  Pennsylvania  is 
still  preserved  as  a  relic  by  their  grandson,  Marcus  A.  Wakefield.  Twenty 
miles  north  of  Bardstown,  on  Ashes  creek,  they  purchased  one  thousand 
acres  of  as  productive  land  as  any  in  Kentucky,  densely  covered  with  beau- 
tiful timber  of  poplar,  walnut,  oak,  hickory,  ash,  etc. 

Here,  in  the  midst  of  Indians,  they  built  their  first  house,  in  the  form 
of  a  fort,  of  heavy  logs.  The  doors  and  floors  of  this  primitive  dwelling- 
were  of  "puncheons,''  hewn  from  timber  with  the  axe;  the  most  fashionable 
furniture,  also,  was  split  from  some  suitable  tree,  and  the  shell  of  a  hickory 
served  as  a  cradle  to  rock  their  firstborn  child.  The  father  carried  his  rifie 
when  he  went  to  work,  and  in  his  absence  the  wife  and  children  kept  the 
doors  closed  with  strong  bars,  for  protection  against  the  savag-es.  For 
many  years  they  experienced  the  dang-ers,  privations,  and  Inconveniences 
peculiar  to  pioneer  settlers  in  those  early  times.  There  was  neither  shoj), 
store,  postoffice,  school,  or  church  within  a  long  distance  of  home,  and  trav- 
eling- through  the  wilderness  was  difficult  and  dangerous. 

As  Christians  and  Presbyterians  worthy  of  their  Scottish  ancestry,  as 
soon  as  there  was  sufficient  assistance  they  aided  in  the  erection  of  the 
first  Presbyterian  church  in  that  region,  called  the  "Big  Spring-  Presbyte- 
rian church."  For  want  of  wagons,  the  hewn  logs  had  to  be  drag-g-ed  to- 
gether out  of  the  woods.  But  the  people,  hungry  for  the  bread  of  life,  were 
willing-  to  work,  and  without  architects,  and  with  an  incredibly  small 
amount  of  money,  they  completed  their  sanctuary,  and  made  it  resound 
with  the  voice  of  prayer,  praise,  and  the  preaching-  of  the  word.  John 
Wakefield  died  in  1812,  aged  ;")4  years.  His  wife,  Elizabeth  Wakefield,  died 
in  1842,  aged  74  years.  Having  survived  her  husband  for  thirty  years,  she 
remained  a  widow,  on  the  old  homestead,  having  charge  of  the  younger 
children,  left  fatherless  between  the  ages  of  three  and  sixteen  years.

ALEXANDER  PEDIGREE. 

I.  John  Alexander,  the  first  American  ancestor  of  this  family,  was  born  in  Scotland 
about  the  year  1700.  "He  was  a  son  of  Thomas  Alexander,  a  prominent  man  in  r^anarlc 
from  1710  and  upwards."  He  married  Margaret,  daughter  of  Ronald  Glasson,  of  the  city  of 
Glasgow.  He  emigrated  first  to  County  Armagh,  Ireland,  and  after  residing  there  for  a 
few  years  he  came  to  America  in  1737:  this  two-fold  emigration  was  probably  occasioned 
by  the  persecutions  to  which  the  Presbyterians  were  subjected  to.  first  in  Scotland  and 
later  in  Ireland.  He  landed  at  Philadelphia  or  New  Castle,  Del.,  and  made  this  first  set- 
tlement in  West  Nottingham,  Chester  county.  Pa.  After  a  few  years  they  removed  first 
to  the  neighborhood  of  Carlisle,  and  afterwards  to  the  vicinity  of  Chambersburg,  in 
Franklin  county,  Pa.  He  and  his  wife  were  supposed  to  have  died  at  the  latter  place. 
His  son: 

II.  James  Alexander,  second  son,  was  born  about  the  year  1726,  being  about  ten  years 
old  when  his  father  removed  from  Ireland.  Having  removed  with  his  fathers  family  to 
Cumberland  county.  Pa.:  he  there  married  Rosey,  daughter  of  Robert  Reed  and  his  wife, 
whose  maiden  name  was  Garner  or  Gardiner.  Rosey  R.  Alexander  died  in  1792.  James 
Alexander,  a  man  remarkable  for  energy  and  enterprise,  determined  to  explore  the  in- 
terior valleys  and  become  the  founder  of  a  new  settlement.  After  a  dangerous  journey 
of  eighty  to  a  hundred  miles  northward  through  forests  and  water  gaps  in  mountain 
ranges  along  the  Susquehanna  and  Juniata  rivers,  and  along  the  roaring  Kishacoquillas, 
along  the  midst  of  the  beautiful  valley  from  Jacks  mountain  to  Stone  mountain,  he  in  1755 
laid  his  warrant  on  a  thousand  acres  of  land.  Then  he  returned  to  the  region  of  Carlisle 
and  removed  his  family  and  effects  on  backs  of  horses  to  his  new  location.  He  cleared 
and  ■cultivated  his  land.  James  Alexander  served  in  the  Commissary  department  of 
Washington's  army  at  Valley  Forge  in  the  memorable  winter  of  1777-8.    For  these  ser-

county,  Penn.,  March  6,  1799.  When  Samuel  Wakefield  was  one  year  old, 
his  father  moved  to  Westmoreland  county,  and  located  three  miles  from 
* 1.    ^  small  Irish  village.     At  a  later  date  he  moved  farther  west,  and 


Armagh 


made  a  home  in  the  wilderness.  Though  then  but  seven  years  of  age,  Sam- 
uel assisted  in  the  cultivation  of  seventy  acres  of  land.  Owing  to  limited 
opportunities  in  early  life,  Samuel  Wakefield  was  dependent  for  an  educa-

tion  on  his  own  efforts  and  capacity  for  independent  self-acquirement  of 
education.  In  this  no  one  was  more  successful  than  he.  Without  instruct- 
ors and  without  tutors,  he  conducted  for  himself  a  systematic  course  of 
study,  which  he  continued  into  the  higher  collegiate  branches.  In  1813, 
Dr.  Wakefield,  being  then  fourteen  years  of  age,  enlisted  as  a  drummer  boy 
in  a  company  serving  at  Black  Rock,  near  Erie,  Penn.,  in  the  war  then 
being  waged  against  Great  Britain. 

When  seventeen  years  old  he  left  home  to  make  his  own  way  in  the 
world.  His  first  effort  was  a  subscription  school,  which  he  founded  and 
successfully  taught  in  Ligonier  valley,  near  Fort  Palmer.  When  eighteen 
years  old  he  was  licensed  by  the  quarterly  conference  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  church,  in  the  bounds  of  the  Pittsburg  conference,  as  a  local 
preacher.  In  this  capacity  he  ministered  for  fourteen  years.  In  1834,  he 
joined  the  Pittsburg  conference.  Prom  this  time  he  served  in  the  regular 
ministry  until  1880,  when  he  was  placed  on  the  superannuated  list.  West 
Newton,  Penn.,  was  his  last  appointment,  and  there  he  continued  his  resi- 
dence until  his  death.  He  was  a  founder  of  a  large  part  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  churches  throughout  western  Pennsylvania.  He  first  began  the 
services  of  his  denomination  in  West  Newton,  and  notwithstanding  the 
opposition  and  coldness  with  which  he  and  his  people  were  received  by 
other  denominations,  he  continued  his  labors  until  he  had  established  a 
flourishing  society  of  Methodists  in  that  place. 

Doctor  Wakefield  was  a  good  Hebrew,  Greek,  and  Latin  scholar.  His 
attainments  in  systematic  theology  were  of  a  high  order.  He  was  the  author 
of  WakefielcV)^  Systematic  Theology,  first  published  about  the  close  of  the  late 
rebellion,  and  which  is  recognized  throughout  the  M.  E.  church  as  an  au- 
thority. It  is  a  text-book  in  several  theological  seminaries  in  his  own 
church,  besides  being  used  as  such  in  seminaries  of  other  denominations. 
He  also  abridged  and  prepared  for  publication,  Watson''s  Theological  Institutes, 
by  request  of  the  publishing  committee  of  the  M.  E.  Publishing  House,  of 
New  York,  but  the  committee,  on  learning  that  he  was  preparing  his  own 
work,  above  mentioned,  did  not  publish  the  latter.  In  September,  1893,  he 
prepared  for  press  and  published  a  volume  of  sermons  entitled  Gospel  Tid- 
ings. Dr.  Wakefield  also  published  a  work  on  moral  philosophy,  but  on 
account  of  the  increasing  infirmity  of  years  he  did  not  publish  it  during  his 
lifetime.  He  was  also  the  author  of  a  grammar  of  the  English  language, 
which  bore  his  name,  and  which  was  declared  by  critics  to  be  a  work  of 
decided  merit,  being  also  adopted  as  a  text-book  by  many  schools. 

His  musical  talents  and  tastes,  which  were  of  the  finest  quality,  showed 
him  the  necessity  of  improvement  in  this  important  part  of  public  worship: 
and  so  in  his  untiring  industry  and  zeal,  he  set  to  work  to  remedy  this  defect, 
with  the  result  that  he  prepared  and  published  Wakefield's  Sacred  Music,  in 
1828.  He  prepared  in  all,  seven  different  works  on  music,  as  follows:  Eccle- 
siastical Harmony,  American  Bepository  of  Sacred  Music,  Western  Harp,  Christian 
Harp,  Minstrel  of  Zion,  Sacred  Choral,  in  German,  and  Select  Melodies.  These 
musical  works  have  been  universally  popular  in  the  Methodist  churches  of 
the  United  States. 

In  addition  to  his  literary  and  musical  abilities,  Dr.  Wakefield  possessed 
considerable  mechanical  genius,  and  this  he  also  devoted  to  his  church  by 
constructing,  with  his  own  hands,  the  first  pipe  organ  built  west  of  the 
Alleghany  mountains,  and  which  is  still  in  use  in  the  Wakefield  Chapel,  at 
Uniontown,  Penn. 

The  Allegheny  College  conferred  upon  him,  the  honorary  degrees  of: 
D.D.  in  1854,  and  LL.D.  in  1856. 

On  the  21st  day  of  August,  1821,  Rev.  Samuel  Wakefield  was  married 
to  Miss  Elizabeth  Hough,  of  Westmoreland  county,  who  died  September  29, 
1894,  being  then  in  the  92d  year  of  her  age:  he  died  Friday  morning,  Sep- 
tember 13,  1895,  at  the  ripe  age  of  96  years,  6  months,  and  7  da3fs.  On  the 
occasion  of  the  golden  wedding  of  David  H.  Wakefield,  the  New  York 
World  says: 

"Rev.  Samuel  Wakefield,  his  father,  is  one  of  the  most  wonderful  men  of  the  present 
century.  His  entire  life  has  been  one  of  activity.  He  has  been  minister,  author,  tailor, 
farmer,  and  representative  of  his  district  in  the  state  senate.  At  the  age  of  94,  he  pub- 
lished a  work  upon  'The  Art  of  Preaching."  *  *  *  Dr.  Edward  Everett  Hale,  years  ago, 
recognized  Dr.  Wakefield's  ability,  and  commented  upon   it  in  one  of  his  works.    Dr. 


Fifth  Generation.  231 


Wakefleld  was  the  earliest  expounder  of  the  theology  of  the  Methodist  church  in  North 
America,  as  Wesley  was  in  England.  He  is  the  author  of  a  work  on  rhetoric,  and  eight 
books  on  music.  All  his  clothing  was  the  product  of  his  own  skillful  hands  until  after  he 
had  passed  the  four  score  milestone  of  life's  journey.  At  70  years  he  shod  his  own  car- 
riage horses.  He  has  made  several  violins  and  other  musical  instruments  of  excellent 
workmanship,  which  are  now  treasured  as  relics  by  various  members  of  his  family.  In 
the  early  part  of  this  century,  Dr.  Wakefield  preached  on  a  circuit  of  over  three  hundred 
miles.  There  were  no  railroad  trains,  and  stage  coaches  did  not  pass  except  at  long 
intervals,  through  the  country  which  he  had  "to  cover,' and  which  he  did  well  cover. 
He  rode  to  and  fro  on  horseback,  preaching  every  day  in  the  week  at  different  log 
cabins,  to  which  the  faithful  for  miles  around  would  flock  on  foot,  on  horseback,  and  in 
Conestoga  wagons.    During  the  Civil  war  he  represented  his  district  in  the  state  senate.',

(then  on  a  religious  crusade  in  Ireland)  as  a  member  of  one  of  his  societies,  and  from 
that  time  she  gave  such  of  her  time  as  could  be  spared  from  her  home  and  family,  acting 
in  the  capacity  of  a  Methodist  minister. 

78.  William^  Wakefield  {John,*  David,^  Eobert,'^  Jtohcrt^),  assumed 
to  be  a  son  of  John  and  Elizabeth  (Newlon  or  White)  Wakefield,  being  a 
descendant  of  David^;  born  about  1765,  at  Wakefield,  N.C.;  married  about 
1792,  to  Diana  Varner;  died  about  1830.  He  was  a  teacher  and  lawyer.  He 
settled  at  Belleville,  St.  Clair  county.  111.,  in  1810,  being  the  first  settler 
there,  where  he  lived  and  died.  His  widow  died  at  Quincy,  111.,  at  the  ad- 
vanced age  of  105  years.  William  Wakefield  inherited  slaves,  but  set  them 
free  in  Illinois,  being  a  Quaker  and  opposed  to  slavery.  These  slaves  he  is 
supposed  to  have  brought  from  Kentticky,  he  having  settled  in  Baron  county, 
in  that  state,  a  few  years  prior  to  his  emigration  to  Illinois.  According  to 
tradition,  his  father  and  some  of  his  elder  brothers  served  under  Marion  in 
the  Revolution,  but  being  Quakers  this  is  improbable.  There  is  a  tradition 
that  Diana  Varner  was  a  grand-daughter  of  Charles  Wakefield,  who  came 
from  New  England  about  1750,  her  mother  being  a  daughter  of  the  said 
Charles.  Note  that  several  of  the  descendants  of  Jonathan  Wakefield,  of 
Sutton,  Mass.,  settled  in  Pennsylvania.  He  was  six  feet  four  inches,  and 
his  wife  six  feet  in  height,  and  heavily  built.

moved  to  Baron  county,  Ky.,  and  six  years  later  to  St.  Clair  county,  111. 
At  fifteen,  John  A.  and  his  elder  brother,  George  W.,  enlisted  in  the  Inde- 
pendent Spy  Battalion  of  Mountain  Rangers,  and  served  through  the  War 
of  1812.     Soon  after  his  enlistment  he  volunteered  the  hazardous  task  of

carrying  a  dispatch  from  St.  Louis  to  Vincennes,  through  the  then  track- 
less wilderness,  swarming  with  hostile  Indians,  which  he  accomplished  after 
many  hair-breadth  escapes,  and  terrible  hardships,  and  was  thanked  in  spe- 
cial orders  by  General  Atkinson.  At  twenty  years  of  age  he  was  admitted 
to  the  bar  and  took  an  active  part  in  opjiosition  to  the  movement  to  change 
the  state  constitution,  so  as  to  permit  slavery  in  the  state.  He  served  sev- 
eral terms  in  the  legislature  and  was  an  intimate  friend  of  Abraham  Lincoln, 
Stejihen  A.  Douglas,  Judge  Sidney  Breese,  Governor  Edwards,  and  others  of 
that  period.  He  served  through  the  Black  Hawk  war,  with  the  rank  of 
major,  and  wrote  the  history  of  that  war.  He  was  one  of  the  three  com- 
missioners to  select  lands  granted  the  state,  and  was  appointed  to  lill 
vacancy  as  state  treasurer.  He  was  the  first  justice  of  the  peace  and 
police  judge  at  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  and  at  the  first  election  for  delegate  in 
congress,  from  Kansas,  was  the  free-state  nominee  and  received  nearly  all 
the  legal  votes  polled.  He  served  on  the  bench  in  three  states,  was  elected 
state  treasurer  of  Kansas  under  the  Topeka  constitution.  In  1856,  his 
house  was  burned,  and  $8,000  of  property  taken  or  destroyed  by  the  "Border 
Ruffians"  from  Missouri.  In  1818,  he  was  married  to  Eliza,  eldest  daughter 
of  Abram  and  Elizabeth  (Brown)  Thompson,  who  had  come  from  Bour- 
bon county,  Ky.,  three  years  previously.  Abram  Thompson  was  of  Scotch- 
Irish  descent,  and  one  of  the  pioneers  of  Bourbon  county,  coming  there 
from  Western  Pennsylvania.  In  the  year  1846,  John  A.  Wakefield  removed 
from  Galena,  111.,  where  he  had  for  several  years  practiced  his  profession, 
to  Wisconsin,  engaging  in  lead  mining,  but  soon  after  went  to  St.  Paul, 
Minn.,  where  he  built  a  large  hotel.  On  the  8th  day  of  July,  1854,  he  en- 
tered the  territory  of  Kansas,  and  on  the  18th  day  of  the  same  month, 
pitched  his  tent  in  what  is  now  Douglas  county,  containing  at  that  time 
but  one  or  two  families.  In  1856,  while  en  route  to  Illinois  for  aid  in  men  and 
arms,  he  was  captured  by  Buford's  South  Carolinians,  and  narrowly  es- 
caped death,  as  a  "traitor,"  to  his  native  state.  He  was  ever  distinguished 
for  great  energy  of  character  and  a  high  sense  of  personal  honor,  his  word 
being  as  good  as  his  bond  wherever  he  was  known.  Though  possessed  of  a 
quick  and  fiery  temper,  he  had  "malice  for  none  and  charity  for  all,"  and  was 
an  honorable  opponent,  and  ever  "held  an  honorable  enemy,  next  to  a  bosom 
friend."  Hospitality  was  another  virtue  which  he  could  justly  claim,  never 
being  known  to  turn  a  person  from  his  door,  with  his  wants  unrelieved.  He 
died  at  Lawrence,  Kansas,  June  18,  1873.     His  wife  died  one  year  before.

Rock  Island,  111.,  where  he  had  charge  of  the  business  of  a  large  wholesale 
lumber  company,  until  1880.  In  that  year  he  removed  to  Omaha,  and  went 
into  the  wholesale  and  retail  lumber  business,  for  himself.  His  business 
grew  rapidly,  until  his  yards  were  noted  as  being  the  largest  in  the  coun- 
try, entirely  under  cover.  June  25,  1893,  the  yards  were  totally  destroyed 
by  tire.  Mr.  Wakefield  continued  for  some  time  as  a  wholesale  dealer  in

county.  111.,  where  John  A.,  his  father,  was  then  a  lawyer  and  owner  of  the 
principal  hotel.  At  three  years  of  age  his  father  removed  to  Davis  county 
and  located  the  town  of  Portsmouth,  eighteen  miles  south  of  Galena,  but 
change  of  river  channel  blighted  the  enterprise  and  caused  severe  money 
loss.  William  Wakefield  received  his  education  in  the  common  schools  and 
the  Plattville,  Wisconsin,  academy,  and  studied  law  in  his  father's  office. 
He  entered  upon  manhood  as  an  ardent  anti-slavery  man,  and  was  a  Repub- 
lican until  1872  when  he  voted  for  Horace  Greeley,  and  has  since  then  been 
an  independent,  most  of  his  affiliation  being  with  the  Greenback  and  Peo- 
ple's parties,  but  not  in  full  accord  with  their  financial  theories.  When  the 
Civil  war  began  in  1861  he  was  attached  to  Colonel  Deitzler's  first  Kansas 
infantry  as  scout,  and  on  August  11,  1862,  enlisted  in  Company  B,  twelfth 
Kansas  volunteers;  was  soon  after  detailed  as  general  order  clerk  at  de- 
partment headquarters,  raised  and  commanded  Company  E,  eleventh  U.S. 
colored  troops;  served  as  judge  advocate  second  division,  seventh  A.C.,  and 
as  provost  marshal;  general  seventh  corps  with  rank  of  lieutenant  colonel. 
He  was  discharged  with  the  regiment  (113th  U.S.C.Inf.)  at  DeValls  Bluff, 
Ark.,  April  9,  1866.  After  the  war  he  passed  six  years  on  his  farm  in 
Douglas  county,  Kan.,  regaining  health.     He  then  returned  to  journalism;

was  editor  of  the  Kansas  Daily  Tribune  and  of  the  Topeka  Daily  Journal;  in 
1883  he  established  The  Anti- Monopolist  and  later  The  Jeffersonian,  besides 
contributing  to  syndicate  press  and  magazines.  He  was  the  first  American 
editor  to  uphold  the  single  tax  on  land  values,  as  the  leading  feature  of  his 
paper,  and  few  have  written  or  spoken  more  on  that  question.  In  religion 
he  is  an  agnostic,  and  his  integrity  and  high  character  are  proverbial  where 
he  is  known.  In  1886  he  was  a  candidate  for  state  auditor  and  ran  ahead  of 
his  ticket.  In  1888  he  was  the  nominee  of  the  United  Labor  or  Single  Tax 
party  for  vice-president,  but  on  learning  the  movement  was  being  manipu- 
lated in  Republican  interests  in  New  York  city,  he  withdrew  his  name.  He 
married  December  22,  1869,  Emma  AYakefield,  a  very  distant  cousin.  She 
was  a  daughter  of  George  W.  and  Ruth  (Osborn)  Wakefield.  Residence,

ERRATA. 

Charles  Marcus  Waketield,  (No.  100,  p.  279),  resides  at  Belmont.  Uxbridge,  England. 

Uhatton  Hall,  (pp.  264-280)  should  read  ChaUon  Hall.  A  letter  received  too  late  to  ad- 
mit of  correction  of  the  former  name,  where  it  occurs  on  the  above  pages,  was  received 
from  Miss  A.  M.  Wakefield,  of  Nutwood,  Grange-over-Sands,  England,  of  date  June  4,  1897, 
which  in  addition  to  asking  the  above  correction,  contributes  the  following  addition  to 
the  first  generation  of  the  family  of  Roger  Wakefield  of  "Challon  Hall:"  'Roger  Wakefield 
and  Isabel,  his  wife,  posse.ssed  Challon  Hall  in  1592.  This  information  is  gathered  from 
the  Court  Rolls  at  Lowther,  Lord  Lonsdale's  place,  who  in  those  days  was  Lord  of  the 
••Manor  of  Challon  Hall.'"  *  *  *  "Most  of  Foster's  Pedigree  details  are  gathered  from 
the  registers  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  to  which  our  family  belong.  But  this  date  is  of 
course  before  Quakers  existed.'  Miss  Wakefield  thinks  there  is  one  generation  omitted, 
between  the  first  and  second  generations  as  given  on  page  "264.  The  error  in  the  spelling 
of  Challon  Hall,  was  caused  by  a  mtsinterpretation  in  the  handwriting  of  the  late  William 
Henry  Wakefield  (No.  89,  p.  277),  in  his  letter  of  September  11,  1885.  In  the  said  letter,  Mr. 
Wakefield  describes  finding  inscribed,  in  the  house  '•called  Challon  Hall,"  his  country 
estate  in  the  township  of  Preston  Patrick,  the  initials  and  date.  R.-L-W.-1611,"  which  he 
believed  to  mean  "Roger  and  Isabel  Wakefield,  1611,"  and  as  indicating  one  generation 
older  than  'Roger  Wakefield  of  p.  264.  Mr.  Wakefield  relates:  ••The  farm  was  bought  by 
my  father  about  55  years  ago.  from  a  connection  of  the  family,  from  which,  I  infer  that 
the  property  had  gone  out  of  the  direct  line,  and  come  back  again  as  above."

tinction of  classes,  which  was  found  in  England."  With  this  object  the 
land  was  to  be  sold  at  a  high  price  to  keep  the  agriculturists  from  becom- 
ing land-owners,  the  lowest  limit  being  a  pound  an  acre.    This  system,  vphich

captured  a  standard),  and  Algiers;  led  the  first  body  of  colonists  to  Nelson, 
New  Zealand,  and  founded  the  city  of  Nelson,  1841.  Chamber's  Edinburgh 
Journal,  of  November  23,  1844,  (vol.  i,  pp.  329-31),  says  of  him,  under  the 
heading  of  Biographical  Sketches: 

"About  ten  months  ago  the  British  public  were  surprised  and  grieved  at  the  news 
of  the  dreadful  massacre  of  English  colonists  at  New  Zealand,  by  the  natives  of  that 
country.  Amongst  the  victims  was  Capt.  Arthur  Wakefield,  emigration  agent  at  the  Nel- 
son settlement,  whose  memoirs  we  are  now  enabled  to  lay  before  our  readers,  from  a 
private  and  authentic  source.  Arthur  Wakefield,  the  son  of  an  opulent  yoeman,  in  Essex, 
was  born  in  the  year  1800,  and  at  the  age  of  ten,  was  selected  by  the  enterprising 
Captain  Beaver,  after  his  return  from  Africa,  as  one  of  his  probationary  midshipmen 
(then  technically  called  'Young  Gentlemen,'  but  now,  Naval  Cadets)  in  the  Frigate  Nisus. 
He  served  at  the  battle  of  Bladen.sburg  with  such  distinction  that  he  was  approvingly 
named  in  the  extraordinary  gazette  announcing  the  victory.  He  was  also  present  at  the 
siege  of  Algiers.  After  the  general  peace  he  went  to  France  to  acquire  the  French  lan- 
guage, and  pursue  other  studies,  but  he  was  speedily  recalled  by  the  distinguished  ap- 
pointment of  flag-midshipman  to  Sir  George  Campbell,  who  had  become  port-admiral,  of 
Portsmouth.  He  next  served  under  Sir  Thomas  Hardy,  as  his  aid-de-camp  in  the  Span- 
ish colonies,  of  South  America.  When  at  Valparaiso  he  was  promoted,  and  returned 
home  as  3rd  Lieutenant  of  the  'Superb.' 

"In  183.5,  he  read  a  paper  to  the  Earl  of  St.  Vincent  which  was  ordered  published,  and 
is  said  to  have  originated  those  alterations  in  the  specified  build  of  merchant  ships  which 
have  since  so  materially  improved  them.  Soon  after  this  he  was  appointed  to  the  'Blazer,' 
destined  once  more  for  Spanish  America.  Lieutenant  Wakefield  left  the  -Blazer"  on  ar- 
riving off  the  African  coast,  to  take  command  of  the  'Conflict'  sloop  in  which  he  remained 
during  live  years:  the  Conflict  was  paid  off  in  Februarv  18'38.  By  this  time,  his  father  hav- 
ing retired  from  Sussex  to  reside  in  France,  Arthur  Waketteld  joined  him,  inspecting  the 
most  celebrated  dock  yards  of  that  country.  Some  years  ago  Mr.  Edward  Gibbon  Wake- 
field, brother  to  Captain  Wakefield,  proposed  a  plan  by  which  with  a  judicious  combina- 
tion of  land,  capital,  and  labor  a  colony  might  be  established  without  any  cost  to  the 
mother  country.  This  plan  was  not  only  takeii  up  by  a  company  established  for  colonizing 
New  Zealand,  but  was  patronized  by  the  colonial  department  of  the  British  government. 

"In  1841  arrangements  were  made  by  the  New  Zealand  company,  with  the  colonial 
office  for  an  additional  tract  of  land  on  which  was  to  be  formed  a  third  settlement  under 
the  superintendence  of  Capt.  Arthur  Wakefield.  Accordingly  he  sailed  in  the  ship 
'Whitby'  with  an  efficient  body  of  colonists,  and  arrived  in  October  at  the  desired  locality

in  New  Zealand.  Captain  Wakefield  was  ablj-  seconded  in  his  colonization  by  the  settlers, 
who  one  and  all  admired  and  respected  him.  The  relations  with  the  natives  was  amicable 
until  the  setting  out  of  an  unfortunate  surveying  expedition  to  Wairau.  a  district  on  a 
river  of  the  same  name.  Their  operati(jns  were  opposed  by  the  natives,  headed  by  their 
chief  'Rauparaha,'  in  consequence  of  the  undefined  nature  of  the  negotiations  concerning 
the  purchase  of  land.  The  first  hostility  was  the  burning  of  a  surveying  hut.  On  hearing 
of  this  Captain  Wakefield,  several  gentlemen  belonging  to  Nelson,  the  Crown  prosecutor, 
an  interpreter,  four  constables  and  twenty-two  men  proceeded  to  Wairau  to  take 
Kauparaha  into  custody.  Thej'  landed  Friday.  June  16,  1843.  and  went  five  miles  up  the 
river,  either  marching  or  in  boats,  the  store  keeper  having  served  out  muskets,  bayonets, 
pistols,  swords,  and  cutlasses.  At  night  they  slept  in  the  wood,  and  on  going  four  miles 
up  the  river  on  the  17th  they  found  tlie  natives.  There  were  eighty  or  ninety  native  men, 
forty  armed  with  muskets,  besides  women  and  children. 

Captain  Wakefield  and  two  of  his  companions  walked  backwards  and  forwards  for 
nearlv  a  half  hour  with  the  natives,  apparently  in  a  friendly  manner.  The  warrant  was 
then  produced,  and  the  constable  directed  to  execute  it  on' Rauparaha,  the  interpreter 
explaining  the  meaning  of  it.  The  chief  refused  to  go,  and  the  discussion  became  vio- 
lent. Captain  Wakefield  gave  the  word  -forward:'  tirins^  began  too  soon,  and.  despite  the 
attempts  to  rall}^  them,  the  Europeans  fled,  and  a  few  of  the  braver  ones  were  left  alone, 
and  obliged  to  lay  down  their  arms  and  surrender.  A  white  handkerchief  was  held  up, 
and  the  interpreter  called  out,  'leave  off;  enough!'  When  signals  of  surrender  were 
made,  one  or  two  Maories  (natives)  also  threw  down  their  weapons,  and  advanced  with 
their  arms  outstretched,  in  token  of  reconciliation.  The  chief's  son-in-law,  who  had  just 
discovered  that  a  chance  ball  had  hit  his  wife,  came  up,  crying,  'Rauparaha.  remember 
your  daughter!"  Upon  this.  Captain  Wakefield  and  his  companions,  though  they  had 
peacefully  surrendered,  were  set  upon  and  inhumanly  slaughtered.  Thus  perished  a 
brave  officer,  and  most  persevering  colonist,  at  the  comparatively  early  age  of  43.  His 
death  was  attributed  solely  to  a  want  of  understanding  between  the  local  government 
and  the  company  whose  agent  he  was.  The  bodies  were  recovered,  and  interred  by  colo- 
nists returning  from  the  settlement.  The  rites  of  sepulture  were  performed  with  the 
full  concurrence  of  the  natives,  on  the  spot  where  the  captain  and  his  friends  had  fallen."

year  took  the  post  of  classical  tutor  in  the  Dissenting  academy  at  Warring- 
ton, which  he  held  until  the  dissolution  of  the  establishment  in  178.3:  from 
1784  to  1790  resided  at  Nottingham  (deserting  the  Church  of  England  in 
1786),  where  he  taught  school:  from  July,  1790,  to  .June,  1791,  was  classical 
tutor  in  the  Dissenting  academy  at  Hackney:  from  May  30,  1799,  to  May 
29,  1801,  was  imprisoned  in  Dorchester  jail  for  "a  seditious  libel,"  (A  Beply 
to  some  Parts  of  the  Bishop  of  Llandaff's  Address  to  the  People  of  Great  Britain), 
London,  1798,  8vo.,  pp.  51,  j  during  which  his  political  friends  presented  him 
with  £5,000,  as  an  evidence  of  their  sympathy  and  esteem;  died  in  London, 
September  9,  1801.  After  his  desertion  of  the  Church  of  England,  of 
which  he  became  a  bitter  assailant,  he  never  joined  any  religious  society, 
and  in  his:  Enqnii-y  into  the  Expediency  and  Propriety  of  Soci(d  Worship  (1791, 
8vo.,  3d  ed.,  1792)  he  advocated  the  negative  with  no  little  asperity;  see 
London  Monthly  Bevieio,  1792,  i.,  435.  This  tirade  was  answered  by  Dr. 
Disney,  Mr.  Wilson,  Eusebia,  and  others. 

"Gilbert  Wakefield  was  a  diligent,  and  we  believe,  a  sincere  inquirer  after  truth, 
but  he  was  unhappily  so  framed  in  temper  and  habits  of  mind  as  to  be  nearly  certain  of 
missing  it,  in  almost  every  topic  of  inquire'.  *  *  *  He  was  as  violent  against  Greek  accents 
as  he  was  against  the  Trinity,  and  anathematized  the  final  V  as  strongly  as  Episcopac}-."

"The  design  of  Mr.  Wakefield  in  the  plan  of  this  work  was  the  union  of  thelogical

among  us  as  is  sometimes  asserted His  book  is  that  of  a  learned  and  industrious 

scholar,  and  his  short  introduction  bears  ample  testimony  to  the  zeal  and  patience  with 
which  he  has  collated  manuscripts,  compared  and  examined  the  works  of  past  and  pres-

We  quote  a  few  opinions  on  the  general  characteristics  of  Gilbert  Wakefield: 

"A  writer  certainly  of  classical  taste  and  of  elegant  attainments.  Whose  professed 
attachment  to  truth  and  candor  was  too  often  biased  by  prejudice  and  disgraced  by  sar- 
casm."— Dr.  Laurence. 

"Waketield  possesses  exquisite  taste  and  a  most  luxuriant  fancy,  as  a  critic;  and 
one  grieves  that  he  should  ever  have  misapplied  his  powers  to  politics  and  religion."— 
Green:  Diary  of  a  Lover  oj  Literature.  63. 

"He  wanted  time  or  patience  for  that  discrimination  which  would  have  made  his 
conjectures  fewer,  indeed,  but  more  probable,  and  his  principles  more  exact;  (yet)  I 
shall  ever  think  of  him  as  one  of  the  best  scholars  produced  by  my  own  country  "in  my 
own  'age. "—Dr.  Parr.  See  Wa/cef eld's  Memoirs,  2d  ed.,  ii.  437-53.  Hoyne  and  his  pupil, 
Jacobs,  commended  him  highly. 

"Partly  from  imperfections  in  the  manner  in  which  he  had  been  educated,  partly 
from  defects  of  mental  character,  he  was  not,  and  never  could  have  become  either  a 
profound  or  a  refined  scholar.  Both  his  Latin  style  and  his  English  are  vicious  and  bar- 
barous in  the  extreme."— Knight's  EMjUah  Ci/riopKitia  Biography,  vi.  1S5S,  474  (q.v.) 

"He  had  the  pale  complexion  and  mild  features  of  a  saint,  was  a  most  gentle 
creature  in  domestic  life,  and  a  very  amiable  man;  but  when  he  took  part  in  political 
or  religious  controversy,  his  pen  was  dipped  in  gall."  H.  C.  Robinson;  Diary,  etc.,  ed. 
Bost.,  1870,  1.  36.     See  Index. 

The  (flirixtiaii.  Oljserver  for  the  year  180.'S,  vol.  iv,  published  in  London,  p.  288.  says  of 
him:  "He  could  spell  the  longest  words,  say  his  catechism  perfectly,  and  read  the  gospels 
with  ease  at  the  age  of  three  years  and  three  months.  Before  the  age  of  twenty-two  he 
was  more  than  inclined  to  those  heterodox  opinions  in  religion  that  followed  himthrough 
life.  Although  he  continued  a  nominal  churchman  until  177i».  and  even  after  that  period  he 
had  no  aversion  to  preaching  within  consecrated  walls,  yet  he  had  not  long  been  a 
clerg3'man  when  he  determined  that  nothing  should  tempt  him  to  subscribe  to  those 
articles  which  he  totally  disbelieved.  His  theological  career,  as  an  author,  he  commenced 
in  1781,  and  was  ever  after  a  warm  disputant  in  favor  of  those  doctrines  which  are  termed 
Socinian.  In  1779.  he  married  the  niece  of  Mr.  Watson,  who  was  his  rector  at  Stockport. 
He  was  a  great  classical  scholar  and  linguist  and  had  a  very  retentive  memory.  He 
strove  to  inHuence  the  state  to  the  prevention  rather  than  the  punishment  of  crime." 
(Mav  number.  180.5.) 

"  The  Modern  lievieiv,  vol.  I,  1880,  October  number  1880,  pp.  868-884,  says:  "Amongst  the 
now  almost  forgotten  minor  martyrs  to  the  political  intolerance  of  the  18th  century  was 
Rev.  Gilbert  Wakefield,  a  man  of  great  attainments,  original  mind,  active  benevolence,  and 
unbending  conscientiousness.  He  did  himself  less  than  justice  in  his  writings;  but  his 
private  life  was  spotlessly  x>ure,  pre-eminently  true,  and  great  in  qualities  which  only 
those  who  knew  him  intimately  and  enjoyed  his  friendship  had  the  opportunity  of  know- 
ing. Mr.  Wakefield  was  most  fortunate  in  his  choice  t)f  a  wife,  and  was  the  tenderest 
husband  imaginable.  In  domestic  life  all  his  asperities  gave  place  to  the  greatest  kind- 
ness and  affection. 

"Gilbert  Wakefield  studied  the  Scriptures  incessantly,  and  every  day  his  objections 
to  the  creeds  of  his  forefathers  increased.  So  he  determined  to  quit  the  church.  Mr. 
Wakefield  was  at  that  time  what  was  then  called  a  Unitarian  Christian,  declaring  himself 
'a  genuine  votarj'  of  a  crucified  Savior  who  looks  for  -a  better  country'  and  feels  himself 
impelled  to  a  bold  and  open  profession  of  the  practical  principles"  of  love,  peace,  and 
liberty  to  the  whole  human  race.'  His  religious  opinions  were  in  some  respects  peculiar; 
he  did  not  entirely  join  any  sect  though  he  was  generally  classed  with  the  Unitarians  of 
his  day. 

"This  account  was  written  by  his  great-grand-daughter,  the  granddaughter  of  Ann 
Wakefield,  who  married  Charles  Rochemont  Aiken,  son  of  Dr.  John  Aiken." — The  People's 
Journal,  1858,  vol.  iv,  pp.  102-3.

Origin  of  the  Name.  289 


CHAPTER  XVI. 


ENCYCLOPAEDIA  OF  THE  NAME  WAKEFIELD. 

ORIGIN  OF  THE  NAME. 

In  the  savage  state  there  were  no  surnames,  and  woman  was  the  head  of  the  family. 
The  race  was  divided  into  gens,  and  the  children  belonged  to  the  gens  of  the  mother. 
Children  did  not  always  receive  personal,  or  given  names  even,  but  were  numliered  and 
were  later  named  or  characterized  by  some  act  or  circumstance  of  the  individual's  life. 
Population  was  sparse  and  intercourse  limited,  and  such  designation  was  all  that  was 
required.  When  man  advanced  to  barbarism  and  by  force  united  independent  tribes 
into  states  and  kingdoms,  he  also  assumed  the  head.ship  of  the  family  in  the  same  way. 
With  the  advance  from  the  life  of  hunters  to  that  of  herdsmen,  tillers  of  the  soil,  and 
builders  of  cities,  population  increased  and  commerce  began,  and  there  was  need  of  a 
better  designation  of  the  individual  than  that  of  the  simple  name  ^iventohim  at  birth  or 
acquired  by  him  at  a  later  date.  So  men  were  naturally  first  designated  by  mention  of 
their  fathers  as  Joshua,  the  son  of  Nun  and  Simon  Bar  Jonas,  Simon  the  son  of  Jonas. 
Thus  the  patronymic  is  found  in  use  among  the  Greeks  and  Romans  and  the  various  races 
and  tribes  of  Europe. 

Men  were  also  designated  by  the  place  where  they  lived  or  were  born,  and  by  their 
business  or  occupation,  by  their  ofllce  or  station,  and  by  some  circumstance  of  life,  person, 
or  character,  including  what  may  be  called  nicknames.  Among  the  Teutonic  and  Celtic 
Deople  of  northern  Europe  such  additional  designation  of  individuals  were  not  hereditary, 
and  did  not  descend  from  father  to  son  as  a  famil}'  or  surname.  The  use  of  hereditary 
surnames  was  introduced  in  Ireland  before  it  was  in  England,  for  Brian  Born,  king  of 
Muster,  who  was  killed  at  Clontorp,  1014,  j^rescribed  an  ordinance  that  every  one  should 
adopt  as  a  surname  the  name  of  his  father,  and  thereafter  surnames  became  permanent 
in  Irish  families.  The  Angles.  Saxons.  Danes,  and  Normans,  in  England  did  n(jt  generally 
adopt  hereditary  surnames  until  some  time  during  the  thirteenth  century,  so  that  who- 
ever pursues  a  surname  into  England  must  expect  to  lose  it  as  a  family  name  at  or  before 
this  time.  A  place  name  might  continue  further  back  as  to  that  part  of  the  family  which 
continuously  occupied  the  particular  place. 

As  to  the  origin  of  the  name  Waketield  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  it  is  a  place  name, 
and  originated  in  the  West  Riding,  of  Yorkshire,  England,  where  it  is  still  represented 
by  the  city  of  Wakefield.  It  appears  in  the  Domesday  Book,  and  is  there  spelled 
'•Wachefell"  and  "Wachefeld." 

When  the  Angles  and  Saxons  invaded  and  made  themselves  masters  of  England,  the 
Saxons  settled  in  the  southern  and  the  Angles  in  the  northern  part.  See  map  ot  England 
in  .597,  Encyclopadae  Britanica.  The  Saxons  and  Angles,  or  Engles,  were  kindred  people, 
and  drove  the  prior  inhabitants  bodily  to  the  west  part  of  the  island— much  as  the  Indian 
has  been  driven  west  in  America. 

York  and  Waketield  are,  in  the  early  division,  called  Deira.  Some  time  before  589, 
in  a  war  between  Bernicia  and  Deira,  some  men  of  the  latter  kingdom  were  captured 
and  sold  as  slaves  in  Rome.  Gregory  noticed  their  white  Ix^dies,  fair  faces,  and  golden 
hair,  and  asked  the  trader  from  what  country  they  came  The  slave  trader  said  'they 
are  Angles."  Gregory  said:  "Not  Angles,  but  angels,  with  faces  so  angel-like.  From 
what  country  came  they"/"  The  merchant  said:  "They  come  from  Deira."  (See  ch.  2. 
Pa.  40,  Green's  larger  Historj'  English  People.)  In  ch.  i",  par.  10,  is  given  the  location  of 
these  people  on  the  continent.  They  were  kindred,  speaking  in  substance  one  language, 
but  each  its  own  dialect,  though  generally  they  are  all  often  called  Saxons  They  all  be- 
longed to  the  low  German  branch  of  the  Teutonic  family.  This  dialectic  difference  is  no- 
ticeable in  the  naming  of  their  towns  in  England  In  the  Saxon  portion  we  nf>tice  names 
ending  in  "Wick,"  '-ham,"  "ton,"  "ford,  "indicating  the  home,  town,  or  crossing  of  a  stream, 
controlled  by  some  man  and  bearing  his  name.  On  the  other  hand,  the  terminal  "field''  is  a 
very  frequent  termination  of  a  town  name  in  that  part  of  England  settled  by  the  Engles, 
and  somewhat  remote  from  the  Saxons.  The  Engles  also  used  other  terminals.  The 
northern  and  interior  part  was  at  first  more  sparsely  settled,  and  where  a  field  was  at 
first  occupied  by  a  single  family  there  gathered  a  town  which  retained  the  name  of  the 
field. 

Wakefield  received  its  name,  no  doubt,  when  it  was  a  military  post  and  settlement 
on  the  frontier  of  the  Engle  advance,  and  the  bold  and  hardy  adventurers  were  required 
to  keep  a  constant  watch  to  jirotect  themselves  against  the  Britons,  whom  they  had  de- 
spoiled and  whose  lands  they  had  taken. 

The  old  spelling  in  the  Domesday  Book  has  a  German  appearance,  but  that  may  have 
come  from  the  scribe.  The  Century  BkUonary  gives  "wake"'  verb:  Anglo-Saxon,  "wacan;" 
German,  "wachen"  and  "watch:"  verb,  Anglo-Saxon,  "waccan.'  The  dictionary  does  not 
give  us  the  Engle  word,  which  may  have  been  the  same  or  more  nearly  like  the  German. 
There  is  in  Domesday  Book  a  place  in  "Northantonscire,"  which  would  be  in  the  territory 
of  the  South  Angles,  named  "Wacafeld."  This  being  near  the  line  between  Engle  and 
Saxon,  would  represent  the  Anglo-Saxon  verb  "wacan,"  to  wake,  or  to  watch.  "Waca- 
feld" was  in  the  hundred  "Claibea,"  and  the  holding  was  under  "Comes  Alan."

The  conqueror  seized  most  of  the  lands  of  the  kingdom  and  distributed  to  his  fol- 
lowers liberally.  William  claimed  the  throne  as  the  lawful  successor,  and  seized  lands 
and  gave  them  away  not  as  conqueror  but  rather  as  king,  the  English  owner  having  for- 
feited them  by  treason.  He  did  not  give  all  to  Normans.  Many  English  received  their 
lands  again  from  William.  The  changes  were  carried  forward  In  an  orderly  manner, 
and  to  the  end  of  bringing  the  lands  or  the  kingdom  in  subjection  to  the  crown.  Bishop 
Ealdred,  of  York,  held  his  ecclesiastical  office  until  his  death,  when  William  filled  the 
place  with  the  Norman,  Thomas  of  Bayeaux.  The  names  in  the  Domexday  Book  at  '■  Wache- 
felt"  and  "Wachefeldt"  are  "Dunestan''  "Godric,''  and  "Godwin."  These  holdings  were 
ecclesiastical  in  their  nature,  and  these  persons  were  doubtless  English,  Engle,  or  Saxon. 
But  whether  the  officials  or  landowners  who  first  took  Wakefield  as  a  surname  were 
Engle,  Sa.Kon,  or  Norman  must  be  a  matter  of  conjecture,  for  the  incumbent  may  have 
been  either.  It  does  not  matter  much  which  he  was,  for  the  Norman  was  a  kindred  peo- 
ple to  the  others.  The  chances  may  prei)onderate  in  favor  of  the  Norman  stock.  But 
different  families  maj^  at  different  times,  under  the  changes  of  reigning  families,  have 
occupied  office  and  taken  the  name;  as,  for  instance,  during  the  "War  of  the  Roses,"  when 
the  doctrine.  "To  the  victor  belongs  the  spoils,"  was  rigorously  observed.  Hon.  George 
W.  Wakefield,  No.  38^,  p.  104. 

"There  is  a  vulgar  error  that  places  borrowed  their  names  from  persons,  instead  of 
the  contrary. 

"Whereas,  therefore,  there  locall  denominations  of  families  are  of  too  great 
antiquitie,  I  can  not  see  why  men  should  thinke  that  their  ancestors  gave  names  to 
places,  bare  those  very  names  before  any  men  did  their  surnames.  Yea,  the  very  termi- 
nations of  the  names  are  such  as  are  only  proper  and  applicable  to  places,  and  not  to 
persons  in  their  significations,  if  any  will  marke  the  locall  terminations  which  I  lately 
specified,  who  would  suppose  Hill,  Wood,  Field,  Ford,  Pond,  Town,  etc.,  to  be  convenient 
for  men  to  beare  their  names  unless  they  could  also  dream  Hills,  Woods,  Fields,  etc.,  to 
have  been  metamorphised  into  men  by  some  supernatural  transformation.  And  I  doubt 
not  but  what  they  will  confess  that  townes  stand  longer  than  families. 

"It  may  also  be  prooved  that  many  places  which  now  have  Lords  denominated  of 
them  had owners  of  other  surnames  and  families  not  many  hundred  years  since. 

"I  know  never  the  lesse  that  albeit  most  townes  have  borrowed  their  names  from 
their  situation  and  other  respects."     (Camden.) 

From  Manors  and  smaller  estates;  "The  surnames  from  these  sources  are  innumer- 
able. To  sum  up  the  whole  matter,  I  may  observe  that  there  is  scarcely  a  city,  town, 
village,  manor,  hamlet,  or  estate  in  England  that  has  not  lent  its  name  to  swell  the 
nomenclature  of  English  men. 

"The  readiest  corruption  from  the  French  is  that  which  turns  ville  into  field,  as 
Bloomfield  for  Blonde  ville,  Summerfleld  for  Sommerville,  etc."  (Lower's  English  Sur-

Wakefield  Cathedral.  Satiirdatj  Review,  vol.  Ixvii,  pp  57.5-6.  London,  May  11, 1889.  "Wake- 
field has  lately  blossomed  out  into  a  diocesan  city,  and  the  Church  of  All  Saints  into  a 
bishop's  stool.  Until  last  year  it  was  only  a  parish  church,  and  the  historical  associations 
it  embalmed  were  of  the  most  meagre  and  provincial  kind.  Anything  in  the  nature  of 
curiosity  and  eccentricity  has  been  carefully  wiped  off  the  walls  in  successive  "restora- 
tions." Mr.  Micklethwaite  describes  the  growth  of  the  church  from  the  form  in  which  it 
probably  existed  at  the  time  of  the  Domesday  survey  to  that  in  which  it  was  left  at  the 
Reformation. 

A  fine  perpendicular  church  with  only  one  serious  fault,  regarded  as  a  cathedral, 
namely  the  extreme  difficulty  that  any  architect  would  find  in  adding  to  it  without  destroy- 
ing the  whole  beauty  and  character  of  the  existing  building. 

Wakefield  is  mentioned  in  the  Domesda}'  survey  as  having  three  priests  and  two 
churches.  The  second  church  was  probably  that  at  Sandal,  and  the  third  priest  probably 
ministered  at  the  chapel  at  Horbury.  The  Manor  was  ancient  demesne  and  belonged 
successively  to  Edward  Harold  and  William  the  Conqueror,  from  whom  it  passed  to  the 
great  Earl  Warren;  but  Mr.  Walker  should  not  say  so  positively  that  the  Earl  married 
the  Conqueror's  daughter.  (The  Cathedral  Church  of  Wakefield,  by  J.  W.  Walker,  F.S.A., 
Wakefield;  Milnes.) 

Wakefield  and  Conisburg  were  given  by  the  second  Earl  to  the  monastery  of  St. 
Pancras,  which  his  father  and  mother  had  founded  at  Lewes,  in  Sussex,  the  living,  of 
course,  then  began  and  continues  a  vicarage;  Ijut  the  Prior  of  Lewes  probably  found 
such  distant  possessions  inconvenient,  and  sold  or  leased  Wakefield  to  Hugh  le  Despencer. 
Hugh  was  hanged  in  1,S26,  but  his  family  continued  to  hold  Wakefield  till  1348,  when,  with 
some  other  property  of  the  kind,  it  was  surrendered  or  sold  to  Edward  III,  who  settled  it 
upon  the  chapel  of  St.  Stephen  in  the  palace  of  Westminster. 

After  the  dissolution  in  1.'547,  appointments  to  the  vicarage  were  made  bv  the  crown 
until  1860.  when  Bishop  Bickerstith,  of  Ripon,  obtained  it  in  exchange.  It  now  falls  to  the 
patronage  of  the  new  Bishop  of  Wakefield.  The  rectory  Manor,  whose  history  has  been 
traced  by  Mr.  Taylor,  underwent  greater  vicissitudes.  At  the  dissolution  it  was  among  the 
possessions  of  St.  Stephen's,  and  in  1568  was  leased  to  Sir  Henry  Savile,  surveyor  of  crown 
lands  in  the  north.  It  appears  to  have  continued  in  the  Savile  family  till  near  the  end  of 
the  17th  century,  and  Richard  Witton  and  John  Smith  bought  it  in  1697.  It  passed  through 
the  hands  of  several  of  Witton's  descendants  or  relatives  after  this,  until  it  was  bought 
from  his  heirs  by  William  Fenton,  a  millionaire,  at  the  beginning  of  the  century,  and  it  is 
still  in  the  hands  of  his  family. 

The  spire  of  this  cathedral  rises  to  a  height  of  247  feet,  only  ten  taller  in  England. 
The  stained  glass,  mural  painting,  and  church  furniture  were  noticed  by  Robert  Glover,

Battle  of  Wakefield  Green.  Bridge,  Wakefield.— Y.-^tra-cta  from  Timbs  Ancestral  Stories, 
pp.  21,5-30,  Pohtefract  Castle.  "Pontefract,  one  of  the  most  notable  historic  sites  of  Eng- 
land, lies  about  nine  miles  nearly  east  of  Wakefield.  The  town  was  a  burg  in  the  time  of 
Edward  the  Confessor.  Originally  Pontefract  was  built  according  to  the  usual  plan  of  a 
Norman  castle.  There  was  a  keep  at  the  western  end  and  a  large  bailie  below  it.  The 
towers  were  kept  at  equal  distances  in  the  curtain  wall  of  the  enclosure,  there  was  a 
barbican  and  draw-bridge  at  the  southwest  angle,  and  the  whole  was  encircled  by  a  deep 
fose.  At  the  northeast  angle  was  a  chapel  served  by  five  priests,  and  this  building, 
which  owes  its  erection  to  Albert  de  Lacy,  still  retains  a  portion  of  the  masonry  belonging 
to  the  original  foundation.  Pontefract  Castle,  by  its  situation  as  well  as  by  its  structure, 
was  rendered  almost  impregnable:  it  was  not  commanded  ^'>y  any  contiguous  hills  and 
could  onlj'  be  taken  by  blockade.  The  whole  tract  occupied  by  the  fortress  was  about 
seven  acres. 

In  a  topographical  excursion  in  the  year  1634.  Pomfret  is  described  as  a  high  and 
stately,  famous  and  princely,  impregnable  castle  and  citidel,  built  by  a  Norman,  on  a 
rock,  "which,  for  the  situation,  strength,  and  largeness  may  compare  with  any  in  the 
kingdom. 

The  origin  and  etymologj^  of  the  name  of  the  town  are  alike  unknown.  According 
to  Camden,  its  name  was  changed  to  Pontefract  by  the  Romans.  The  place  was  called 
Kirkby  in  the  time  of  the  Saxons,  and  it  is  not  improbable  that  it  was  one  of  the  first 
places  in  England  at  which  a  church  was  erected  and  Christianity  preached. 

William  the  Conqueror  is  said  to  have  called  the  name  of  the  town  Pomfrete  from 
some  fancied  resemblance  to  a  place  so  called  in  Normandy,  where  he  was  born.  Ponte- 
fract must  be  numbered  in  our  recollections  of  childhood',  since  here  were  grown  whole 
fields  of  licorice-root,  from  the  extract  of  which  were  made  Pontefract  cakes,  impressed 
with  the  town  arms— three  lions  passant  gardant  surmounted  with  a  helmet,  full  forward, 
open  faced  and  Garde-visure.  We  have  also  seen  these  cakes  impressed  with  the  cele- 
brated castle  and  the  motto,  "Post  mortum  pro.  filio,"  (after  the  death  of  the  father  for 
the  son). 

Richard,  Duke  of  York,  entered  into  possession  of  the  Manor  of  Wakefield  and  Castle 
of  Sandal  in  1446,  on  the  death  of  the  Countess  of  Cambridge.  It  was  for  some  time  the 
residence  of  his  son,  Richard.  Duke  of  Gloucester.  The  Castle,  from  its  first  erection  to 
its  destruction,  was  used  as  the  court  or  Manor-house  of  this  extensive  fee.  The  Savilles 
of  Thornhill,  in  whom  the  office  of  steward  was  hereditary'  while  the  Manor  was  in  the 
hands  of  the  crown,  occasionally  resided  and  always  transacted  the  business  of  the 
courts  here.  The  town  of  Wakefield  ranks  among  the  most  opulent  and  interesting  in 
the  country:  l)eing  of  Saxon,  if  not  Roman  foundation,  and  having  borne  a  share  in 
nearl}'  all  the  events  that  have  taken  place  within  the  count}' of  the  West  Riding  division, 
of  which  it  is  the  capital,  (pp.  .56-57.)  Sandal  Castle  was  built  in  the  reign  of  Edward  II 
by  John  the  eighth  and  last  earl  of  Warren.  To  this  Earl,  Edward  I  gave  his  grand- 
daughter, Joan  de  Barr,  in  marriage.  The  union  was  an  unhappj'  one.  and  he  took  Maude 
de  Nerfordas  a  mistress  and  built  the  Sandal  Castle  for  the  purpose  (p.  .5f>  )  The  ground 
on  which  the  battle  of  Wakefield  was  fought,  was  rather  uneven,  its  surface  rising  in 
gentle  swells,  lying  directly  south  of  the  town  of  Wakefield  and  sloping  irregularly  down 
from  Sandal  Castle  to  Wakefield  Bridge,  (p.  54.)  Of  Sandal  Castle,  few  and  meagre  are 
the  remains,  what  from  the  destroying  hand  of  man  and  the  mouldering  effects  of  time, 
(p.  55.)  The  Earl  of  Salisbury  was  taken  prisoner  in  this  battle,  with  others  of  the  nobil- 
ity, and  were  shortly  afterwards,  by  command  of  Margaret,  beheaded  at  Pontefract 
Castle."'  (p.  .53. )  Chapter  on  'The  Battle  of  Wakefield  Green."  (  The  Battles  and  Battlefields

Emily  ( \Vatkins)  Wakefield,  singer,  educator,  and  lecturer,  was  born  in  London, 
Eng.  Her  father,  Henry  George  Watkins.  was  an  artist  of  great  ability,  being  one  of  the 
old-time  engravers  for  Landseer.  Herring,  and  other  celebrated  painters.  Emily 
early  turned  to  books,  and  lived  in  an  atmosphere  of  art,  and  in  her  father's  studio  her 
pastime  was  to  read  and  act  the  stories  of  the  heroes  of  ancient  Greece  and  Rome.  At 
fifteen  she  entered  Queen's  College,  London,  where  she  excelled  in  history,  literature,  and 
compositions.  Her  first  field  of  work  was  in  St.  Johns,  N.B  .  where  her  artistic  ability 
was  soon  recognized,  and  she  received  for  an  original  painting  the  highest  award  from 
the  Dominion  Exposition.  In  1873  she  removed  to  Halifax,  N.S.,  where  her  soirees,  her 
musicals,  her  examination  da3's,  and  her  school  exhibitions  were  of  great  renown. 

Reverses  compelled  her  to  close  her  school,  and  she  came  to  the  United  States. 
After  two  years  of  successful  administration  in  Patapsco  Seminary,  Maryland,  she  was 
invited  to  Titusville,  Penn.,  in  which  place  she  has  been  since  1882.  Mrs  Wakefield  has 
been  a  teacher,  a  singer,  and  musical  director.  Shehas  rendered  seventeen  operas,  lead- 
ing and  training  the  voices  of  novices  and  the  parts  of  amateurs,  and  in  addition  to  all 
that  work,  she  has  been  the  leading  spirit  in  the  intellectual  advancement  of  the  city,  or- 
ganizing literary  clubs,  and  teaching  hundreds.  Invited  to  the  Chautauqua  platform  in 
1892,  she  gave  a  series  of  lectures  that  secured  for  her  wide  reputation  and  recognition, 
her  success  being  assured  and  complete.  "The  Literature  of  the  Far  East,""  one  of  her

Harry  Wakefield.  One  of  the  two  heroes  of  Sir  Walter  Scott's  tale  of  the  Two  Droverfi 
of  the  (Vhroniclex  of  the  Cannon  Gate).  Harry  was  an  Englishman,  from  Yorkshire,  resid- 
ing in  Scotland,  and  with  his  intimate  friend  and  associate,  Robin  Oig  McCombich, 
familiarl3' known  as  "Robin  Oig."  A  highlander  drover  or  herdsman.  According  to  the 
story,  during  an  altercation.  Harry  called  Robin  a  coward  for  refusing  to  contest  with 
him  in  physical  combat;  thereupon,  Robin  awaited  his  opportunity,  and  cowardly  assas- 
sinated Harry  with  his  dagger.     I  ciuote  passages  of  special  interest: 

"Robin  Oigs  chosen  friend  was  a  young  Englishman,  Harry  Waketteld  by  name, 
well  known  at  every  northern  market,  and  in  his  way  as  much  famed  and  honored  as 
our  Highland  driver  of  bullocks.  He  was  nearly  6  feet  high,  gallantly  formed  to  keep 
the  rounds  at  Smithfleld,  or  maintain  the  ring  at  a  wrestling  match;  and,  although  he 
might  have  been  overmatched,  perhaps,  among  the  regular  profes.sors  of  the  Fancy, 
yet.  as  a  yokel  or  rustic,  or  a  chance  customer,  he  was  able  to  give  a  bellyful  to  any 
amateur  of  the  pugilistic  art.  D(mcaster  races  saw  him  in  his  glory,  betting  his  guinea, 
and  generally  successful;  nor  was  there  amain  fought  in  Yorkshire,  the  feeders  being 
persons  of  celebrity,  at  which  he  was  not  to  be  seen,  if  business  permitted.  But,  though 
a  sprack  lad.  and  fond  of  pleasure  and  its  haunts.  Harry  Wakefield  was  steady,  and  not 
the  cautious  Robin  Oig  McCombich,  himself,  was  more  attentive  to  the  main  chance. 
His  holidays  were  holidays,  indeed;  but  his  days  of  work  were  dedicated  to  steady  and 
persevering  labor.  In  countenance  and  temper,  Wakefield  was  the  model  of  old  Eng- 
land's merry  yeomen,  whose  clothyard  shafts,  in  so  many  hundred  battles,  asserted  her 
superiority  over  the  nations,  and  whose  good  sabres,  in  our  own  time,  are  her  cheapest 
and  most  assured  defense.  His  mirth  was  readily  excited;  for,  strong  in  limb  and  con- 
stitution, and  fortunate  in  circumstances,  he  was  disposed  to  be  pleased  with  everything 
about  him;  and  such  ditticulties  as  he  might  occasionally  encounter,  were,  to  a  man  of 
his  energy,  rather  matter  of  amusement  than  serious  annoyance.  With  all  the  merits 
of  a  sanguine  temper,  our  young  English  drover  was  not  without  his  defects.  He  was 
irascible,  sometimes  to  the  verge  of  being  quarrelsome;  and,  perhaps,  not  the  less  in- 
clined, to  bring  his  disputes  to  a  pugilistic  decision,  because  he  found  few  antagonists 
able  to  stand  up  to  him  in  the  boxing  ring. 

"Is  is  difticult  to  say  how  Harry  Wakefield  and  Robin  Oig  first  became  intimates;  but 
it  is  certain  a  close  ac(iuaintance  had  taken  place  betwixt  them,  although  they  had  ap- 
parently few  common  subjects  of  conversation  or  of  interest,  so  soon  as  their  talk  ceased 
to  be  of  bullocks.  Robin  Oig.  indeed,  spoke  the  English  language  rather  imperfectly 
upon  any  other  topics  but  stots  and  kyloes,  and  Harry  Wakefield  could  never  bring  his 
broad  Yorkshire  tongue  to  utter  a  single  word  of  Gaelic.  It  was  in  vain  Robin  spent  a 
whole  morning,  during  a  walk  over  Minch  Moor,  in  attempting  to  teach  his  companion  to 
utter,  with  true  precision,  the  shibboleth  Llhu.  which  is  the  Gaelic  for  calf.  PYom  Tra- 
quair  to  Murder  cairn,  the  hill  rung  with  the  discordant  attempts  of  the  Saxon  upon  the 
unmanageable  monosyllable,  and  the  heartfelt  laugh  which  followed  every  failure.  They 
had,  however,  better  modes  of  awakening  the  echoes;  for  Wakefield  could  sing  many  a 
ditty  to  the  praise  of  Moll.  Susan,  and  Cicely,  and  Robin  Oig  had  a  particular  gift  at 
whistling  interminable  pibrochs  through  all  their  involutions,  and  what  was  more  agree- 
able to  his  companions  southern  ear,  knew  many  of  the  northern  airs,  both  lively  and 
pathetic,  to  which  Wakefield  learned  to  pipe  a  bass.  Thus,  though  Robin  could  hardly 
have  comprehended  his  companion's  stories  about  horse  racing,  and  cock  fighting,  or  fox 
hunting,  and  although  his  .own  legends  of  clan  fights  and  creaghs.  varied  with  talk  of 
Highland  goblins  and  fairy  folk,  would  have  been  caviare  to  his  companion,  they  con- 
trived, nevertheless,  to  find  a  degree  of  pleasure  in  each  other's  company,  which  had  for 
three  years  back  induced  them  to  join  company  and  travel  together  when  the  direction 
of  their  journey  permitted.  Each,  indeed,  found  his  advantage  in  this  companionship; 
for  where  could  the  Englishman  have  found  a  guide  through  the  western  Highlands  like 
Robin  Oig  McCombich':'  And  when  they  were  on  what  Harry  called  the  right  side  of  the 
border,  his  patronage,  which  was  extensive,  and  his  purse,  which  was  heavy,  were  at  all 
times  at  the  service  of  his  highland  friend,  and  on  man}'  ()ccasions  his  liberality  did  him 
genuine  yeoman's  service.  *  *  *  "I  can  fight,"  answered  Robin  Oig,  sternly  but  calmly, 
"and  you  shall  know  it.  You.  Harry  Waakfelt,  showed  me  today  how  the  Saxon  churls 
fight.  I  show  you  now  how  the  Highland  dunnie-wassel  fights.''  He  seconded  the  word 
with  the  action,  and  plunged  the  dagger,  which  he  suddenly  displayed,  into  the  broad 
breast  of  the  English  yeoman  with  such  fatal  certainty  and  force  that  the  hilt  made  a 
hollow  sound  against  the  breastbone,  and  the  double-edg^ed  point  split  the  very  heart  of 
his  victim.  Harry  Wakefield  fell,  and  expired  with  a  single  groan.  His  assassin  next 
seized  the  bailiff  by  the  collar  and  offered  the  bloody  poinard  to  his  throat,  whilst  dread 
and  surprise  rendered  the  man  incapable  of  defense.  " 

Merry  Wakefield.  'Merry  Wakefield.'  as  it  was  formerly  called,  though,  says  Fuller, 
"What  peculiar  cause  of  mirth  this  town  has  above  others  I  do  not  know  and  dare  not 
too  curiously  enquire  lest  I  turn  their  mirth  amongst  themselves  into  anger  against  me. 
Sure  it  is  settled  in  a  fruitful  soil  and  cheap  countr}';  and  where  good  cheer  and  com- 
pany are  the  premises,  mirth  (in  common  consequence)  will  be  the  conclusion.  "  George

Manor  of  Wakefield  and  Sandal  Castle.  "The  manor  of  Wakefield,  we  learn  from  Domes- 
day Book,  is  very  extensive,  including  that  of  Halifax  and  stretching  from  Normanton 
to  the  boundaries  of  Lancashire  and  Cheshire.  It  was  more  than  thirty  miles  in  length 
from  east  to  west  and  comprises  more  than  118  towns,  villages,  and  hamlets;  and  the  two 
churches  mentioned  in  Domesday  are  Wakefield  and  Sandal  churches.  It  is  probable 
that  the  manor  of  Wakefield  was  granted  in  the  reign  of  William  Rufus,  between  the 
years  of  1091  and  1097  to  William  de  Warren,  second  Earl  of  Surrey,  who,  by  charter 
granted  to  God  and  St.  Pancras,  of  Lewes,  besides  other  churches,  the  church  of  Wake- 
field with  its  appurtenances.  William  the  first.  Earl  of  Warren,  standing  nearly  allied 
to  the  conqueror,  viz.,  nephew  to  the  countess,  his  great-grandmother,  accompanied  the 
conqueror  to  England;  and  having  distinguished  himself  at  the  battle  of  Hastings,  ob-

tained  an  immense  portion  of  the  spoil.  He  bad  large  grants  of  land  in  several  counties; 
so  extensive  indeed  were  those  grants  that  his  possessions  more  resembled  the  dominions 
of  a  sovereign  prince  than  the  estates  of  a  subject  He  was  married  to  Gundred,  the 
daughter  of  the  Conqueror.  This  potent  noble  founded  the  propriety  of  Lewes,  in  Sussex, 
and  endowed  it  with  the  church  of  Wakefield  and  Sandal  Magra.  besides  lands.  He  died 
in  1089.  She  died  in  108.5.  Both  buried  at  Chapter  House  at  Lewes.  The  great  Earl  was 
succeeded  by  his  son.  William,  between  1091  and  1097.  He  gave  the  churches  of  Conisboro 
and  Wakefield  to  his  fathers  monastery.  The  p]arl  was  slain  in  the  Holy  Land  in  1147. 
He  left  only  one  daughter  and  she  was  married  to  William  of  Blois,  one  of  the  sons  of  St. 
Stephen,  who  died  without  issue  in  11.59,  she  was  afterwards  given  by  Henry  II,  to  Hame- 
line,  an  illegitimate  son  of  Geoffrey,  Earl  of  Anjou  (or  n).  That  there  was  an  immense 
wood  on  Wakefield  Heath  in  ancient  times,  is  evident  from  these  deeds,  so  thick  a  wood 
that  a  person  was  employed  in  directing  travelers  over  that  very  place  where  now  is  the 
full  road  between  Leeds  and  Wakefield. 

We  now  pass  over  the  manorial  history  to  Edward,  eldest  son  of  Edmond  Langley, 
Duke  of  York,  who  succeeded  to  the  manor  after  his  father's  death,  and  was  slain  at 
Agincourt  in  1 11.5.  Dying  without  issue,  his  estates  came  to  his  nephew,  Richard,  Duke  of 
York.  Sandal  Castle  seems  to  have  been  a  favorite  residence  of  his.  We  find  from 
William  of  Worcester  that  the  lords  of  the  party  of  Lancashire  were  laying  waste  his 
land  in  Yorkshire,  when  he  hastened  to  Sandal  Castle,  and  arrived  there  the  21st  of  De- 
cember. 1460.  The  battle  of  Wakefield  ensued,  in  which  he  lost  his  life.  This  battle  was 
fought  on  the  30th  of  December,  and  was  indeed  a  fight  of  brother  against  brother,  for 
on  one.  the  side  of  the  Yorkists,  there  fell  Sir  John  Harrington,  who  had  married  the  sis- 
ter of  Lord  Clifford,  who  made  himself  but  too  conspicuous  on  the  side  of  the  Lancas- 
trians. It  is  prol^able  the  battle  took  place  in  front  of  the  castle  and  on  the  open  space  of 
ground  called  today  as  Sandal  Common.  By  the  death  of  Richard.  Duke  of  York,  the 
manor  then  came  to  the  crown  in  the  person  of  Edward  IV.  who  by  the  battle  of  Towton 
had  become  firmly  seated  on  the  throne.  It  is  a  remarkable  fact  that  two  of  the  pos- 
sessors of  the  Manor  of  Wakefield  were  beheaded,  viz..  Thomas,  Earl  of  Lancaster,  and 
Henry,  Earl  of  Holland,  the  latter  by  sentence  of  high  court  of  justice  for  attempting  to 
restore  Charles  I  to  the  throne,  whilst  three  others  were  slain  on  the  battlefield. 

Pindar  fields,  which  by  tradition  are  said  to  have  been  the  site  of  Robin  Hood's  ex- 
ploit with  the  valiant  Pindar  George-a-Green,  lie  at  the  east  end  of  the  town.  In  the 
court  rolls  of  the  Manors  of  Wakefield  of  the  reign  of  Edward  II.  there  appears  a  Robertus 
Hode,  living  in  the  town  and  having  business  in  that  court.  In  a  parcel  of  deeds  of  Ed- 
ward III,  reign,  relating  to  Coldhindley, which  is  about  eight  miles  from  Wakefield, we  find 
a  Robert.  William,  and'Ada  Hode  mentioned.  It  will  be  remembered  that  Barnsdale  for- 
est, Where  Robin  Hood  is  said  to  have  lived,  lies  not  a  great  distance  from  Coldhindley. 

We  now  pass  on  to  Sandal  Castle,  which  is  probably  of  earlier  date  than  the  con- 
quest. In  1317  John,  the  eighth  and  last  Earl  of  Warren,  who  was  a  man  of  licentious 
character,  while  residing  at  Sandal  Castle,  was  involved  in  a  scandalous  intrigue  with 
Alice  de  Lacy,  wife  of  his  neighbor.  Thomas.  Earl  of  Lancaster.  She  was  on  Monday  be- 
fore Ascension  Day  carried  off  by  violence  and  conveyed  to  a  castle  of  the  Earl  of  Warren 
at  Reigate,  in  Surrey  The  Earl  of  Lancaster  proceeded  to  avenge  himself  by  laying 
siege  to  the  Earl's  castle,  and  Sandal  was  demolished  by  him  in  revenge  for  this,  but  it 
was  rebuilt  by  the  Earl  of  Warren  in  1321.  In  1318  the  Earl  of  Lancaster  obtained  a  grant 
from  the  Earl  of  Warren  of  his  Manor  of  Wakefield,  probably  as  a  makepiece  for  the 
offenses  committed  against  him  by  the  Earl,  but  he  only  enjoyed  it  three  years,  being  at- 
tainted for  high  treason  and  beheaded  at  his  Castle  of  Pontefract. 

Richard, "Duke  of  York,  lay  at  the  castle  before  the  Battle  of  Wakefield,  and  the 
fortress  seems  to  have  been  of  some  note  in  the  reign  of  Edward  III.  John  Wodrove, 
receiver  of  Wakefield  for  Edward  IV,  had  a  warrant  by  privy  seal  dated  3rd  of  June, 
second  Richard  III.  for  an  allowance  of  such  sums  of  money  as  he  should  employ  in  mak- 
ing a  tower  in  the  Castle  of  Someshall  or  Sandall:  also  a  warrant  granting  him  a  ton  of 
wine  yearly  for  the  use  of  said  castle.  And  on  the  20th  of  June  following,  the  King  being 
then  at  York,  assigned  the  Manors  of  Ulverston  and  Thornham  in  support  of  the  expenses 
of  his  household  appointed.  The  portrait  of  John  Wodrove  and  his  wife,  with  his  arms 
and  his  crest,  were  formerly  in  the  window  of  the  Wakefield  old  church.  Sandal  Castle 
was  garrisoned  for  the  King  in  the  times  of  the  Civil  wars  under  Colonel  Bounivant,  and 
surrendered  after  a  siege  of  three  weeks,  a  few  daj's  after  Pontefract  Castle.  Boothroyd, 
the  historian  of  Pontefract  Castle,  informs  me  that  the  governors  of  Sandal  and  Ponte- 
fract Castles  were  accustomed  to  light  fires  on  their  towers  as  a  signal  to  each  party  that 
good  news  had  been  received. 

On  April  30,  1646,  it  was  resolved  bj'  the  house  of  commons  that  being  an  inland 
castle,  it  should  be  made  untenable  and  no  garrison  kept  or  maintained  in  it:  it  was  then 
completelv  demolished:  the  moat  of  the  castle  maj'  yet  be  traced,  and  the  masonry  ot  the 
central  keep,  or  round  tower,  is  visible.  There  seems  to  have  been  a  park  at  Wakefield 
and  Sandal  Castles  from  very  early  times. 

In  the  fifth  of  Edward  IV,  Sir  John  Saville  had  a  grant  from  the  King  of  the  herb- 
age of  Wakefield  Park:  Thomas  Wentworth  had  a  grant  from  Henry  VIII,  of  the  keeper- 
ship. 

In  the  second  of  Elizabeth,  we  find  Sir  John  Tempest  steward  of  the  wardship  of 
Wakefield  and  constable  of  Sandal  Castle  disputing  with  Henry  Saville  in  the  court  of 
Lancaster,  for  the  office  of  keepership  of  the  game  "in  the  new  park  of  Wakefield  and  the 
Sandal  Castle  Park.  The  former  entrances  to  the  parks  are  now  known  as  Lodgegates 
and  Deergate. 

The  chapel  on  Wakefield  bridge  was  rebuilt  in  1847,  save  one  small  piece  at  the  east  end. 
A  brass  plate  inscription  tells  "This  structure  is  built  with  the  remains  of  the  original 
west  front  and  other  fragments  of  St.  Marie's  Chantry,  which  stood  on  Wakefield  Bridge." 
It  was  built  in  the  reign  of  Edward  III,  about  1357.  and  restored  by  Edward  IV,  after  the 
Battle  of  Wakefield,  1400,  who  dedicated  the  chapel  to  the  memory  of  his  father,  the  Duke 
of  York.  It  was  defaced  by  unseemly  repairs  in  1794.  In  1847" the  ancient  portion  was 
purchased  by  the  Hon.  George  Chappie  Norton  and  re-erected  by  him  at  Kettlethorpe."

Tower,  Wakefield.— Tower  of  London,  Eng.  With  the  exception  of  the  White  Tower, 
the  Wakefield  Tower  is  the  largest  of  the  fortress.  The  situation  is  of  the  greatest  his- 
torical interest  of  any  in  the  Tower.  It  adjoins  on  the  eastern  side,  of  the  "Bloody 
Tower'  which  forms  the  main  entrance  to  the  inner  ward,  and  where  the  two  young  sons 
of  Edward  IV  were  murdered  in  1483  by  order  of  their  uncle,  Richard,  the  Duke  of 
Glocester.

and  was  the  scene  of  magnificent  wedding  festivities  on  the  occasion  of  the  marriage  of 

Henry  III  to  Eleanor  of  Provence. 

In  this  'Hall  Tower"  a  ti  ny  chapel  was  built  for  the  private  use  of  Henry  III,  and  which 
served  for  the  devotion  of  his  successors  until  Henry  VI  was  there  stabbed  to  death  before 
the  cross.  This  tower  was  in  his  day  a  part  of  the  royal  palace,  its  chapel  was  the  scene  of 
his  pious  meditations,  and  old  traditions  say  this  tower  was  his  place  of  detention  and  his 
deliberate  murder  by  the  Duke  of  Glocester.  There  is  good  evidence  that  the  records  of 
the  nation  were  kept  in  this  tower  since  the  earliest  Norm  an  times.  The  upper  chamber  is 
known  to  have  been  their  repository  from  the  reign  of  Henry  VIII  up  to  a  few  years  ago 
when  they  were  removed  to  the  record  office  in  Chancery  lane.  The  tower  came  to  be 
known  as  the  Record  Tower  and  even  to  this  day,  by  way  of  identification,  it  is  referred  to 
as  the  Wakefield  or  Record  Tower.  The  present  name  was  eiven  owing  to  the  imprison- 
ment of  the  Yorkists  there,  after  Margaret's  victory  at  the  battle  of  Wakefield  in  1460. 

The  regalia,  the  crown  jewels  of  the  roj-al  family,  are  now  preserved  in  the  Wake- 
field tower,  being  on  exhibition  in  a  magnificent  and  very  large  octagonal  glass  pavilion, 
which  stands  in  the  center  of  the  first  floor.  The  tower  is  octagonal,  and  the  lower  apart- 
ment is  twenty-eight  feet  in  diameter:  the  walls  are  thirteen  feet  in  thickaess.  The 
Tower  of  London  was  built  liy  the  early  Saxons,  and  used  by  them  and  the  Norman  kings 
as  a  ro3ral  residence  and  stronghold.  Down  tf)  the  days  of  Henry  of  Richmond  it  was 
the  strongest  place  in  the  south  of  England,  and  was  the  magnificent  home,  the  misera- 
ble jail,  and  scene  of  execution  or  murder  of  all  English  princes.

world,  by'j.  H.  Willsey  and  Charles  T.  Lewis,  New  York,  189.5,  p.  921.  "September  22,  1858, 
sundry  letters  are  filed  from  George  W.  Lewis.  J.  E.  Wilson,  the  owner  of  a  tract  of  land 
in  Westmoreland  county,  Va.,  called  Wakefield,  whereon  is  the  graveyard  of  the  Wash-

closing and  protecting  these  sacred  places,  and  securing  the  right  of  ingress  and  egress 
thereto,  the  state  of  Virginia  has  made  an  appropriation  of  $5,000.  This  being  visited  by 
the  said  J.  E.  Wilson,  the  opinion  of  the  attorney  general  of  Virginia  was  obtained,  as  to 
the  right  of  these  privileges  under  the  deed  from  Lewis  W.  Washington  to  her,  which,

CITIES  and  towns  BEARING   THE  NAME  OF    WAKEFIELD,  OUTSIDE    OF    THE    UNITED  STATES. 

Wakefield,  Yorkshire.  Eng.— "In  geographv.  a  large  market  town  in  the  lower 
division  of  the  hundred  of  Agbrigg,  in  the  West  Riding  of  the  County  of  York,  is  situated 
on  the  side  of  an  eminence,  gently  sloping  southward  to  the  river  Calder,  at  the  distance 
of  nine  miles  south  from  Leeds,  thirty-two  miles  southwest  by  south  from  York,  and  182 
miles  north  northwest  from  Lond(m.  It  consists  of  nine  streets,  of  which  three  are  very 
large  and  commodious,  and  many  of  the  houses  are  spacious  and  lofty.  The  market- 
place is  small,  but  has  been  recently  rendered  much  more  convenient  Ity  the  removal  of 
the  corn  market  into  Westgate.  an  adjacent  street  of  great  extent.  Here  is  a  neat  build- 
ing called  the  market-cross,  formed  of  an  open  coUonade  of  the  Doric  order,  supporting 
a  dome,  with  an  ascent  of  a  circular  flight  of  stairs  leading  to  a  large  room,  which  re- 
ceives its  light  from  a  lantern  at  the  top.  In  this  chamber  most  of  the  business  of  the 
town  is  transacted.  The  market  is  held  on  Fridays,  which  is  well  attended,  particularly 
for  the  sale  of  wool,  which  is  sent  from  various  parts  of  England  to  the  factors  in  Wake- 
field, who  dispose  of  it  among  the  manufacturers  in  the  adjacent  districts.  Here  are  two 
annual  fairs,  each  of  which  continues  two  daj^s,  for  horses,  horned  cattle,  pedlarlj^  ware, 
etc.  A  fair  is  also  held  every  fortnight,  on' the  alternate  Wednesdays,  for  cattle  and 
sheep,  which  affords  a  constant  supply  of  butcher's  meat  to  almost  the  whole  of  this 
riding  and  the  borders  of  Lancashire.  The  parish  church  of  Wakefield  is  a  spacious  and 
lofty  edifice,  and  the  spire  is  one  of  the  highest  in  the  county.  By  the  Domesday  record, 
there  appears  to  have  been  a  church  here  at  the  time  of  the  Conquest,  but  no  part  of  the 
present  structure  can  be  referred  to  a  more  early  period  than  the  reign  of  Henry  III,  and 
it  has  undergone  manj^  modern  rejiairs  and  improvements. 

In  1724,  the  south  side  was  entirely  rebuilt:  and  the  greatest  part  of  the  north  side, 
together  with  the  east  end.  towards  the  close  of  that  centurv;  a  vestrj'  room  has  like- 
wise been  erected.  About  half  a  mile  to  the  north  is  the  new  church,  built  about  the  end 
of  the  eighteenth  centurv.  The  ground  on  which  it  stands  was  bequeathed  for  that 
purpose  by  Mrs.  Newsteacl,  a  widow  lady,  together  with  i;i,000  towards  the  support  of  a 
minister.  But  the  will  being  litigated,  the  matter  lay  dormant  for  some  years,  till  the 
whole  property  of  the  testatrix  was  purchased  by  Messrs.  Maude  and  Lee,  who,  in  con- 
currence with  some  other  opulent  persons,  procured  an  act  of  parliament  for  building 
the  church  and  enlarging  the  town.  The  church  was  accordingly  erected,  and  a  great 
number  of  houses,  disposed  in  streets  and  squares,  forming  a  district,  which,  as  well  as 
the  church,  is  denominated  St.  Johns.  In  the  town  are  three  meeting  houses  for  dissent- 
ers of  the  Presbyterian.  Calvinistic,  and  Methodist  denominations.  Here  is  also  a  free 
grammar  school,  founded  and  endowed  by  Queen  Elizabeth,  but  much  improved  by 
private  benefactions:  the  school  house  is  a  spacious  structure,  erected  by  the  Savilles, 
ancestors  of  the  Earl  of  Mexboro.  A  charity  school  is  also  established  here  for  the 
instruction  and  clothing  of  106  boys  and  girls.  Charitable  donations  to  this  town  are 
very  considerable,  amounting  to  £1.000  per  annum,  under  the  direction  of  fourteen 
trustees,  called  governors:  this  money  is  applied  to  the  maintenance  of  several  exhibi- 
tions in  both  universities,  to  the  apprenticing  of  poor  bovs  to  various  trades,  to  the 
support  of  aged  and  infirm  persons,  and  to  other  benevolent  purposes,  at  the  discretion 
of  the  governors.  At  the  end  of  Westgate,  the  principal  street  in  the  town,  is  the  house 
of  correction  for  the  whole  riding:  this  prison  is  a  spacious  stone  building,  surrounded 
by  an  outer  wall,  and  contains  about  150  cells.  A  commodious  sessions  house  has  been 
recently  erected,  and  great  improvements  are  consequently  taking  place  in  the  adjacent 
streets.  The  quarter  sessions  for  the  West  Riding  are  held  here  iii  January,  and  private 
sessions  every  fortnight  by  the  justices  in  the  vicinitv. 

At  the  southeast  entrance  into  Wakefield  is  a  stone  bridge,  of  nine  large  arches, 
over  the  Calder:  it  exhibits  a  fine  specimen  of  the  masonry  of  Edward  Ill's  reign,  in  which 
period  it  was  built.  In  the  center  of  this  bridge,  projecting  from  the  eastern  side,  and 
liartly  resting  on  the  starlings,  is  an  ancient  cha'pel,  formed  in  the  richest  style  of  ecclesi- 
astical architecture,  about  ten  j^ards  in  length  and  eight  in  breadth.  The  east  window, 
overhanging  the  river,  is  adorned  with  tracerv,  and  the  parapets  are  perforated;  the 
windows  on  the  north  and  south  are  equally  rich;  but  the  west  front  facing  the  passage 
over  the  bridge  exceeds  all  the  rest  in  profusion  of  ornament,  being  divided  bj^  buttresses 
into  compartments  forming  recesses  with  lof  tv  pediments  and"  pointed  arches,  with 
spandrils  richly  flowered,  and  above  is  an  entablature  supporting  five  basso  relievos,  the 
whole  being  crowned  with  battlements.  This  chapel  was  built  bv  Edward  IV,  in  memory 
of  his  father.  Richard,  Duke  of  York,  and  those  of  his  partv  who  fell  in  the  Battle  of 
Wakefield.  This  superb  relic  of  antiquity  has  of  late  years  been  used  as  a  warehouse, 
and  its  embellishments  have  received  consideral)le  damage. 

Wakefield  was  noted  in  Camden's  time  for  its  extent,  buildings,  cloth  trade,  and 
markets,  as  well  as  for  the  chapel  above  described.  Since  that  period,  the  improvements 
in  the  woolen-cloth  manufacture,  with  the  introduction  of  those  of  tammies,  camblets, 
and  fancy  articles,  have  greatly  increased  its  wealth  and  population.  A  handsome  hall 
has  recently  been  erected  by  subscription  for  the  sales  of  the  stuffs.    It  is  two  stories

hiph,  extending  in  length  about  70  yards  and  ten  in  breadth:  through  the  middle  in  each 
stor3^  is  a  row  of  repositories,  in  all  about  200.  facing  each  way.  and  properly  labeled,  so 
that  the  stand  of  any  manufacturer  may  be  readily  found.  Wakefield,  being  situated  on 
the  edge  of  the  manufacturing  district,  of  which  the  Calder  forms  the  eastern  boundary, 
scarcely  a  single  manufacturer  is  seen  to  the  eastward.  The  navigation  of  the  Calder  has 
greatly  promoted  the  trade  of  this  town,  to  which  the  river  was  rendered  navigable  in 
1698.  Great  quantities  of  coals  are  carried  hence  by  water  for  the  supply  of  York,  Hull, 
and  the  adjacent  parts.  In  the  population  return  of  the  year'1811,  Wakefield  is  stated  to 
contain  1959  houses  and  859.3  inhabitants.  The  manor  of  Wakefield  is  very  extensive,  in- 
cluding that  of  Halifax,  and  stretching  ^from  Normanton  westward  to  the  confines  of 
Lancashire.  It  is  more  than  30  miles  in  length,  from  east  to  west,  and  comprises  118 
towns,  villages,  and  hamlets.  By  the  Domesday  book  it  appears  to  have  been  part  of  the 
royal  demesnes  of  Edward  the  C<mfes.sor,  and  at  the  time  of  the  survey  it  belonged  to  the 
crown.  During  the  four  subsequent  centuries,  it  was  granted  to  various  branches  of  the 
royal  families,  and  other  distinguished  nobles.  In  14»)1  it  reverted  to  the  crown  in  the 
person  of  Edward  IV,  and  remained  in  the  possession  of  the  kings  of  England  until  1.5.54, 
when  it  was  united  to  the  duchy  of  Lancaster.  In  the  reign  of  Charles  I,  it  was  granted 
to  Henry,  Earl  of  Holland,  who  was  beheaded  in  1649.  by  the  sentence  of  the  high  court  of 
justice.  Being  afterwards  granted  to  Robert,  Earl  of  VVarwick,  the  manor  went,  by  the 
mai-riage  of  his  daughter,  to  Sir  Gervase  Clifton,  who,  in  166;?,  sold  it  to  Sir  Christopher 
Clapham,  from  whose  heirs  it  was  purchased  in  1700  by  the  Duke  of  Leeds,  in  whose 
family  it  still  continues. 

About  a  mile  and  a  half  to  the  east  of  Wakefield  is  the  village  of  Heath,  which,  for 
situation,  variety  of  seats,  and  beautiful  lawns,  is  justly  esteemed  the  finest  in  the  king- 
dom. Here  is  an  elegant  seat  of  W.  Farquier,  esq.,  and  "at  this  place  was  also  the  seat  of 
the  late  right  honorable  John  Smyth,  member  for  Pontefract.  and  a  lord  of  the  admiralty. 

Two 'miles  south  of  Wakefield  is  Sandal,  a  small  village  chiefly  remarkable  for  its 
ancient  castle,  built  in  the  Reign  of  Edward  II,  by  John,  Earl  of  Warren,  and  afterwards 
the  property  of  Richard  Plaiitagenet.  Duke  of  York,  who  aspiring  to  the  crown,  was 
slain  before  its  walls,  December  31.  1460.  in  the  memorable  "Battle  of  Wakefield,"  so  called 
from  Wakefield  Green  being  the  scene  of  action.  The  place  where  he  fell  was  enclosed 
with  a  wall,  and  on  it  was  erected  a  cross  of  stone,  which  was  destroyed  in  the  civil  war 
of  Charles  I,  in  whose  behalf  the  castle  was  garrisoned:  but  it  surrendered  after  a  siege 
of  three  weeks,  in  October,  1645,  and  in  the  following  year  the  castle  was  demolished  by 
order  of  parliament.  At  present  scarcely  a  vestige  is  left  of  its  former  strength  and  mag- 
nificence: the  principal  remaining  part  is  occupied  as  a  farm  'tio\ise."—lieaiities  of  England

Hon.  Thomas  Lafayette  Wakefield  (No.  307,  p.  97.)  The  following 
is  compiled  from  the  Bcdham,  (Mass.)  Transcri'pt,  of  June  30,  1888,  which 
contains  a  very  extended  and  eulogistic  obituary  of  him:  and  which  was  re- 
ceived too  late  to  be  incorporated  into  his  record  on  p.  97: 

"Mr.  Wakefield  first  made  his  residence  in  Dedham  in  1851,  and  he  was  one  of  its 
oldest  residents.  He  was  fitted  for  college  at  the  academies  at  Chester,  Vt,  and  Lancas- 
ter, N.H.,  and  he  entered  Dartmouth  college  with  an  advanced  standing  in  1840,  and  was 
graduated  there  in  184;^.  After  teaching  for  a  time  in  the  Lancaster  (N.H.)  academy,  he 
went  to  Bordentown.  N.J.,  and  there  read  law  in  the  office  of  G.  S.  Cannon,  esq.  In  May, 
1845,  he  went  to  Broadalbin,  N.Y..  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Fulton  county  in  Octo- 
ber of  that  year.  He  was  elected  district  attorney  of  that  county  in  April,  1847,  which  of- 
fice he  held  until  his  resignation  and  removal  in  1849. 

"He  then  came  to  Boston  and  formed  a  co-partnership,  first,  with  Horace  E.  Smith, 
and  soon  after  his  brother,  John  H.  Wakefield,  became  a  member  of  the  firm.  Their  office 
was  at  No.  10  Court  street.  This  firm  was  first  dissolved  by  the  removal  of  Judge  Smith 
to  Albany.  N.Y.,  where  he  is  now  the  dean  of  the  Albany  Law  School,  and  again  by  the 
sudden  death  of  Mr.  John  H.  Wakefield.  Mr.  Wakefield  never  formed  another  co-partner- 
ship until  within  a  few  years,  when  he  made  a  new  business  connection  with  his  two 
sons,  Thomas  H.  and  John  L.  Wakefield. 

"Mr.  Wakefield  was  elected  a  representative  to  the  General  Court  from  Dedham  in 
1865  and  1866.  He  was  also  elected  to  the  Senate  in  1871  and  1872.  in  which  body  he  was  the 
chairman  of  the  ludlciary  committee.  He  was  afterwards  appointed  chairman  of  the 
commission  for  the  construction  of  the  state  reformatory  at  Concord. 

"In  his  politics  Mr.  Wakefield  was  always  a  decided  Republican,  but  he  was  never  a 
strict  partisan.  He  knew  little  of  practical  politics,  and  was  nominated  and  elected  to 
political  offices  by  the  free  choice  of  his  party,  uninfluenced  by  any  effort  of  his  own. 
During  all  his  residence  in  Dedham,  he  was  a  devout  communicant  of  St.  Pauls  Episco- 
pal church,  and  was  active  in  all  the  affairs  of  that  parish  and  steadfastly  maintained 
his  interest  while  his  health  lasted.  For  many  years,  and  until  recently,  he  was  a  teacher 
in  the  Sunday  school,  and  was  also  a  warden  or  vestry-man  and  treasurer  for  a  long 
time.  In  no  position  will  his  loss  be  more  sensiblv  felt  than  in  church  and  parish  affairs. 
As  a  lawyer  he  was  held  in  high  estimation  by  his  brethern  of  the  bar.  His  legal  opinion 
was  alwavs  received  with  deference  and  he  conducted  his  cases  in  court  with  the  utmost 
fidelity  and  discretion.  He  had  a  well  balanced  judgment  and  a  temperament  so  equable 
that  he  easily  maintained  his  self-control.  He  was  often  selected  to  serve  as  auditor  and 
master,  in  important  cases.  In  the  latter  years  of  his  professional  life  he  devoted  him- 
self especially  to  patent  cases,  a  peculiar  and  distinct  branch  of  practice,  which  called 
him  more  exclusively  into  the  United  States  courts. 

"In  all  the  relations  of  a  townsman,  Mr.  Wakefield  exhibited  a  most  admirable  ex- 
ample. He  rarely  omitted  to  attend  the  town  meetings,  and  was  ready  to  act  by  voice  or 
vote,  upon  a  proper  occasion,  or  to  serve  in  any  capacity  to  which  he  might  be  designated 
by  his  fellow  citizens,  yet  without  any  obtrusiveness.  He  was  public  spirited  and  joined 
in  carrying  forward  many  good  enterprises.  He  loved  fair  play  and  strove  to  promote 
good  humor.  He  had  no  sympathy  with  the  spirit  of  bitterness  or  of  personal  detraction 
sometimes  generated  in  local  controversies.  He  was  a  religious  man  without  cant  or 
hypocrisy.  He  was  a  genial  companion  and  a  steadfast  friend.  He  was  tolerant  in  his 
judgment  of  others,  prudent  in  speech,  and  discreet  in  action. 

"The  infiuencc  of  such  a  character  as  his  in  a  community  like  ours  is  not  likely  to  be 
overestimated,  nor  could  its  true  value  be  adequately  understood  until  death  came  to 
show  us  what  we  had  lost.  But  no  conventional  phrases  of  strained  eulogy  are  needed  to 
exalt  his  virtues.  The  memory  of  a  life  so  well  rounded  and  full  of  benignity  is  a  precious 
legacy  for  our  community,  as  well  as  for  his  family."

A.  M.  Wakefield,  musical  author,  composer  of  the  songs,  "Yes,  Sir,"  "No,  Sir,"  etc. 
Mr.  A.  M.  Wakefield  (perhajjs  the  same)  had  a  very  j^leasant  and  hopeful  little  article, 
describing  a  visit  paid  to  the  Art  Industrial  School  at  Keswick,  where  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Rawnsley  have  succeeded  in  carrying  into  actual  practical  operation  many  of  the  ideals 
of  Mr.  Ruskin.  Mr.  Wakefield  says:  "It  may  be  noted  that  the  little  town  of  Keswick 
annuallv  produces  and  sells  some  £700  worth  of  this  art  work.  Among  the  workers  are 
men  of  all  trades.  Pencil  makers  are  numerous,  as  it  is  a  special  trade  of  Keswick,  a 
trade  that  should  be  a  very  flourishing  industry  did  not  our  government  get  all  their 
pencils  in  Germanv.  as  one  of  the  men  indignantly  remarked.  But  laborers,  boatmen, 
gardeners,  shepherds,  tailors,  and  many  another  craft  are  all  here  banded  together  in 
pursuit  of  the  beautiful,  and  in  devotion  to  their  work;  and  there  is  among  them,  by  rea- 
son of  their  teaching,  something  of  the  spirit  of  the  Nuremberg  wood-carvers  of  old, 
something  of  the  attention  to  a  tendril  or  a  flower  which  in  its  highest  degree  gave  fame 
to  such  a  man  as  Benvenuto  Cellini."  (From  the  Recien:  of  Rerien-s  for  November,  1896,  p. 
620,  as  abridged  from  the  Fortnightly  Rerien_^  for  the  October  preceding.)

Miss  A.  M.  Wakefield.  (  ).  musical  composer,   authoress,    and    lecturer.     Miss 

Wakefield's  remarkable  abilities  are  best  presented  by  the  following  ciuotations: 

"The  lecture  combined  all  the  pleasure  of  a  high  class  concert,  with  the  fruit  of  much 
research  and  musical  culture  set  forth  in  the  most  attractive  way.  Miss  Wakefield  is  an 
ideal  lecturer.  She  has  something  magnetic  in  her  personality,  and  directly  she  begins 
to  speak  a  chain  of  sympathy  is  established  between  her  and  her  hearers— a  chain  which 
they,  on  their  part,  are  loath  to  break.  *  *  *  Miss  Wakefield  has  a  sympathetic,  cul- 
tured voice,  and  her  expression  was  dictated  by  the  keenest  intelligence.  We  wish  that 
all  ladies  who  attempt  to  sing  ballads  would  copy  her  st^'le  in  one  particular — viz..  the 
clearness  of  her  enunciation.  She  spoke  her  word  as  well  as  sang  them,  thereby  convey- 
ing a  lesson  much  needed  both  on  the  concert  platform  and  in  the  drawing  room."'— />»///*-

"A  considerable  audience  assembled  last  night  at  Princes'  Hall.  Picadilly,  to  hear 
Miss  Wakefield's  lecture-recital  on  'Songs  of  the  Four  Nations"  the  very  popular  and 
successful  collection  of  old  national  songs  of  England,  Scotland,  Ireland  and  Wales, 
issued  b}'  Mr.  Harold  Boulton  and  Mr.  Somervell.  Her  Royal  Highness  the  Princess 
Louise  was  unavoidably  prevented  from  coming,  but  the  Marquess  of  Lome  and  many 
other  distinguished  supporters  of  the  institution  were  present.  Miss  Wakefield  held  the 
attention  of  her  audience  for  nearly  two  hours,  while  she  discoursed  in  an  agreeable  and 
occasionally  erudite  manner,  on  the  various  characteristics  of  our  national  folk-music: 
and  she  sang  in  all  eighteen  songs  illustrating  the  various  themes  of  her  lecture.  Her 
rich  contralto  voice  was  heard  to  great  advantage  in  'The  Mackintosh's  Lament,'  the 
specimen  of  Highland  song  chosen  for  illustration,  and  in  the  Welsh 'AH  Through  the 
Night.' which  she  sang  with  great  taste  and  tenderness:  while  the  patriotic  emotions  of 
various  sections  of  those  present  were  stirred  by  a  vigorous  rendering  of  'Ye  Mariners  of 
England,'  'Scots  Wha  Hae,'  and  'Shule  Agra.'  an  old  Irish  Jacobite  love-song.  The  mys- 
teries of  the  'Scotch  Snap,'  the  'constantly  repeated  tonic  at  the  close  of  many  Irish 
melodies,'  the  peculiarities  of  Welsh  Pennillion  singing,  were  all  duly  detailed,  and  made 
more  interesting  the  sympathetic  and  musician-like  rendering  of  the  songs."— /S'^  James 
Gazette. 

"Avery  interesting  lecture  on  Irish  Melodies,  with  numerous  vocal  illustrations, 
was  recently  delivered  at  St.  Andrews  by  Miss  Wakefield.  The  lecture  belongs  to  a  series 
of  three,  in  which  the  Volkslieder  of  the  sister  islands  are  dealt  with.  Apart  from  the  in- 
trinsic artistic  merit  of  these  lectures,  they  are  of  especial  value  and  interest  as  object-

lessons  in  tlie  national  traits  and  race-tendencies  of  the  English.  Scottish,  and  Irish 
peoples.  A  characteristic  song,  rendered  with  sympathetic  insight  and  dramatic  fire, 
may  do  more  than  pages  of  disquisition  to  reveal  the  character  and  temperament  of  a 
people.  The  art  of  folk-music  owes  nothing  to  exotic  influences,  or  to  scholarly  training: 
it  is  unpremeditated  and  spontaneous.  It  is  composed  by  the  people  for  the  people,  it  is 
the  natural  language  of  that  mood  and  temperament,  when  feeling  and  sensation  pass 
out  of  the  region  of  mere  articulate  words  and  finds  expression  in  melody.  In  national 
minstrels}-  words  and  music  cannot  be  dissociated  from  each  other.  The  songs  and  bal- 
lads of  the  people  come  down  from  a  time  when  the  two  were  one,  and  are  the  truthful 
expression  of  the  nation's  inmost  soul.  In  judging  of  the  emotional  influence,  apart 
from  the  technical  nature  of  national  music,  it  is  not  always  possible  to  discriminate  to 
what  extent  we  are  moved  by  the  melodj-.  apart  from  the  words.  And  so,  in  judging  Irish 
melodies,  it  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  earliest  songs  of  the  people  were  sung  in  a 
language  which  is  outside  our  knowledge  and  beyond  our  judgment,  and  that  in  that  re- 
spect these  songs  differ  from  those  of  Scotland,  where  words  and  music  are  found  in  per- 
fect nnion." —T/ie  Saturday  Jievieir. 

"As  illustrating  the  subject  of  her  lecture.  Miss  Wakefield  sang  nearl}'  twenty  Scot- 
tish songs.  These  were  given  with  such  genuine  appreciation,  refinement,  and  finish,  as 
to  make  the  entertainment  one  of  singular  merit.  The  lecturer  possesses  a  mezzo-soprano 
voice  of  unusual  richness  and  volume,  and  this  she  uses  with  a  skill  only  too  seldom  pos- 
essed  by  professional  singers.  Everj'  song  was  listened  to  with  delight,  and  if  there  was 
less  of  boisterous  applause  than  is  us^ual  when  popular  airs  are  given,  it  was  probably  the 
greater  compliment  to  the  uniformly  high  quality  of  Miss  Wakefield's  vocal  efforts.  The 
subject  is  one  that  well  deserves  the  attention  of  musicians  so  able  and  so  enthusiastic 
as  Miss  Wakefield  "—McDichester  Gaardiaii. 

"The  Redland  Park  Hall  was  comfortablv  filled  last  evening,  when  Miss  Wakefield, 
the  composer  of  the  popular  'No!  Sirl'  and  other  ballads,  delivered  a  musical  lecture  on 
•Scotch  Melodies.'  Miss  Wakefield  entertained  her  audience  for  nearly  two  hours  with  a 
most  interesting  dissertation  upon  Scottish  songs  of  all  kinds,  illustrated  with  frequent 
rendering  of  the  principal  songs  mentioned  in  her  remarks.  Indeed,  there  was  quite  as 
much  illustration  as  lecture  about  the  performance— a  proportion  which  seemed  to  be 
fully  appreciated  b3'  the  audience.  It  is  no  small  task  to  deliver  an  address  of  fairly  con- 
siderable length,  arid  to  sing  about  twenty  songs  to  one's  own  accompaniment  in  between, 
but  this  Miss  Wakefield  accomplished  without  any  signs  of  fatigue.  It  is,  perhaps,  not 
making  an  invidious  comparison  to  say  that  the  musical  part  of  the  lecture  was  more  in- 
teresting than  the  lecture  itself,  but  without  the  explanatory  passages  between  each 
illustration  the  songs  would  have  lost  half  their  charm.  The  lecture,  in  fact,  showed  that 
considerable  research  had  been  undertaken  in  its  preparation,  and  gave  evidence  of  wide 
knowledge  of  her  subject,  on  the  part  of  the  lecturer.  Miss  Wakefield's  singing  was  most 
expressive  and  S}'mpathetic,  and  lier  rich  mezzo-soprano  voice  seemed  peculiarly  adapted 
to  the  interpretation  of  the  stirring  and  of  the  pathetic  melodies  with  which  the  lecture 
was  interspersed."— -B/'/.s^'o^  Mercury. 

"Last  night  Miss  Wakefield  gave  the  second  of  her  charming  lecture-recitals  for 
the  present  season  at  the  Storey  Institute.  Lancaster,  to  a  crowded  and  delighted  audi- 
ence. The  subject  was  'Irish  National  Melodies.'  which  was  handled  in  that  artistic  and 
skillful  style  for  which  Miss  Wakefield  has  long  been  noted  in  all  matters  of  a  musical 
character.  The  Rev.  S.  Hastings,  rector  of  Halton,  presided,  the  programme  of  vocal 
illustrations  contained  no  fewer  than  twenty-one  songs,  which  were  sung  with  excellent 
effect  by  Miss  Wakefield,  who  accompanied  herself  on  "a  grand  piano.''— Xa;;r«.s^«'  Observer. 

"A  subject  rarely  dealt  with  in  so  entertaining  a  manner— that  of  old  English  melo- 
dies—was lectured  upon  at  the  Art  Club,  Upper  Parliament  street,  by  Miss  Wakefield, 
the  popular  authoress  of  many  songs  and  articles  dealing  with  musical  history.  Miss 
Wakefield  said  at  the  outset  that  her  object  in  lecturing  upon  national  music  was  to  stir 
up  enthusiasm  for  the  old  ballads,  which  were  so  much  better  than  a  great  deal  of  the 
trash  sung  at  present  day  ballad  concerts.  English  melodies  divided  themselves  into  two 
styles— love  songs  and  patriotic  songs.  The  lecturer,  accompanying  herself,  sang  'Sweet, 
if  you  love  me,'  one  of  the  hymn-like  class  of  airs  usually  attached  to  the  early  English 
love  song,  and  the  'Song  for  the  Battle  of  Agincourt'  (1415) ,  a  fine  example  of  the'patriotic 
songs  of  that  period.  "Miss  Wakefield  explained  the  distinguishing  characteristics  of 
melodies  of  each  period  with  which  she  proceeded  to  deal  "in  a  chronological  sketch, 
singing  'Summer  is  y'  coming  in,'  the  earliest  specimen  obtainable  of  national  melody, 
and  dated  about  1250.  An  enlarged  facsimile  of  the  original  of  this  beautiful  round,  with 
Latin  instructions,  was  shown.  As  illustrative  of  the  fourteenth  and  fifteenth  centuries, 
Miss  Wakefield  sang  'Chevy  Chase.'  with  respect  to  which  Ben  Johnson  said  he  would 
rather  claim  the  authorship  of  that  than  an3'thing  he  had  ever  written.  It  was  in  Henry 
■yill's  reign  that  the  really  interesting  period  of  English  music  commenced.  The  selec- 
tions illustrative  of  this  phase  of  musical  history  included  King  Henry  the  Eighth's  song, 
'Pastime  with  Good  Company,'  and  'O  Death,  rock  me  asleep,'  a  song  attributed  to  Anne 
Bolej'n,  whose  wretched  history  made  this  probable.  Passing  on  to  the  reign  of  Queen 
Elizabeth,  Miss  Wakefield  said  that  the  selection  of  examples  became  more  serious,  for 
at  that  period  music  was  so  very  general,  that,  fond  as  anyone  might  have  been  of  it,  they 
must  have  had  a  great  deal  too  much  at  that  time.  Some  of  the  most  delightful  songs 
were  the  settings  appearing  in  Shakspearean  plays,  of  which  excellent  examples  were 
'Oh.  willow,  willow,  willow,'  and  'Ophelia's  Fragments.'  The  other  illustrations  of  the 
Elizabethan  period,  extracts  from  which  Miss  'Wakefield  sang,  were,  'Now  I  needs  must 
part,'  'To  the  Maypole  haste  awaJ^■  and  'The  Bailiff's  Daughter  of  Islington.'  The  reigns 
of  James  I  and  Charles  II  produced  many  beautiful  songs  which  were  still  household 
words.  Though  the  Commonwealth  was  a  sad  time  for  English  music,  still  even  that 
period  gave  us  the  fine  Caviller  song,  'Here's  a  health  unto  his  Majesty."  Next  Miss 
Wakefield  gave  extracts  from  the  ballads  of  the  eighteenth  century,  thus  concluding  a 
most  interesting  and  highly  instructive  lecture."— r/^e  Liverpool  Courier. 

"Last  night  a  most  interesting  and  enjoyable  lecture  was  given  at  the  Merchant 
"Venturer's  School  by  Miss  A.  M.  Wakefield,  who  has  devoted  a  good  deal  of  attention  to 
national  songs.  Mis's  Wakefield  was  frequently  applauded,  and  her  lecture  was  certainly 
amongst  the  most  attractive  of  the  excellent  series  at  the  Merchant  "Venturers'  School. 
The  Dean  of  Bristol  proposed  a  vote  of  thanks  to  Miss  Wakefield,  and  alluded  to  the  gain

to  Bristol  these  lectures  had  been.  Seldom  had  they  had  one  which  had  so  enraptured 
them  as  the  one  that  night.  They  could  not  help  noting  the  singularly  perfect  articula- 
tion ot  Miss  Wakefield  in  her  charming  illustrations,  a  feature  they  did  not  always  find 
with  singers,  and  they  had  no  difficulty  in  recognizing  her  singing  was  English  through- 
out."—77^(»  ^yeste^'ll  Dally  Pre><s. 

"Those  who  heard  Miss  Wakefield  could  not  fail  to  appreciate  in  a  very  high  degree 
the  excellent  manner  in  which  she  first  criticised  and  afterwards  gave  vocal  illustrations 
of  a  variet3'  of  national  melodies,  dating  from  the  13th  to  the  ISth  centuries.  Examples 
were  treated  in  admiralile  fashion  toy  Miss  Wakefield,  who,  being  gifted  with  a  voice  of 
great  flexibility  and  sweetness  of  tone,  was  able  to  do  justice  to  the  beauties  of  the  com- 
positions she  selected. "—77i«  Leeds  Mercury.
