PREFACE

OINCE the publication of the "Genealogy of the Eliot Fam-
*-' ily," compiled by William H. Eliot, Jr., before 1854, one
or more unsuccessful attempts have been made to issue another
edition. It was not, however, until the second gathering of the
descendants of John Eliot at Natick in July, 1901, that a definite
step was taken in the appointment of a committee, who have
since pursued their labor of love for nearly four years. The
result is in your hands to-day, and we respectfully commit it to
your interest and to your leniency. Although great pains have
been taken to secure all the Eliot lines, we regret to say that
a few have either not been reached or have not responded.
Likewise we have sought to ensure accuracy of dates, though
this is not always possible, as authorities differ.

For this reason contemporaneous records, as far as possible,
have been used rather than those made and copied years after-
wards. Those who have the first book will note that with the
exception of the Genealogy proper we have not incorporated
much of the old material, thus leaving that book still valuable
for many purposes. The addition of the family of Bennett
Eliot, now known as the Apostle's father, will prove of interest
to many. The interest on the part of the descendants of many
female lines has been so great that we have ventured to extend
some of these lines far beyond the usual limits, and we hope
that they will be lenient towards the errors which must of
necessity creep in through the effort to disentangle so large a
mass of material.

As the editor-in-chief is responsible for the preface, I take
great pleasure in informing you of those who have given freely
of their time and strength and ef placing the credit where credit
is due.

To Dr. Ellsworth Eliot of New York must be awarded the
chief praise and glory, if glory there shall be. He, more than
any other, has had the constant enthusiasm to pursue the task
and the material to use in its preparation. He was the first to
begin and the last to leave off, material having been received
from him after the manuscript was ready for the printer. He,
more than any other, except the author of the first Genealogy,
has kept the family together — through his interest in and his
social relations with them; through the inception and com-
pletion of the Memorial window to John Eliot in the church at
Widford, Hertfordshire, England; through the raising of the
funds for the Joseph Eliot Memorial Scholarship at Yale Col-
lege, and of the Eliot Prize Funds at Jesus College (Eliot's Col-
lege) Cambridge, England. Nor is this all. But these are the
things which will stand out in bold relief, and we are all proud
to recognize him as the "Chief of our Tribe." May I add that
his extreme modesty caused him to decline having his portrait
inserted until the last moment, when he yielded to the impor-
tunities of many members of the family, and to them we must
be duly grateful for this pleasure.

As George Eliot, Jr., has been able to do comparatively little
of the work of compilation, though always most ready and help-
ful as an adviser, his place was partly taken by his sister, Mary
C. Eliot of Clinton, who has been a tower of strength in every
way. Annie Griffing (Fowler) Davis of Guilford was one
of the first to begin and collected the entire line of John (34).
Others who have furnished a large amount of material are
Henry Hill Elliott of New York, Mrs. Frances Elliott Clark of
Milwaukee, Wis., Florence V. Elliott of Bloomington, 111.,
William Sidney Eliott of Chicago, Mrs. B. S. Johnson of Little
Rock, Ark., Robert Eliot of Milwaukee. To all these our
especial gratitude is due, but we are beholden to many others
for timely assistance and encouragement.

As the more extended genealogical researches of the past
twenty-five years have shown that there are many distinct fami-
lies of Eliot in America, we have chosen the title "The
Descendants of John Eliot, Apostle to the Indians," as this
name will differentiate it from all other Eliot books.

In conclusion, we venture to express the hope that this work
will serve to draw the family more closely together, that the
examples of exalted faith and noble endeavor crowned by suc-
cess herein chronicled may spur us to renewed enthusiasm and
better achievement, for as E. A. Freeman has justly said, "The
inheritance of a really great name is an inheritance which should
be matter not of pride, but of responsibility."

"There is a great deal more in genealogies than is generally believed
at present. I never heard tell of any clever man that came out of
entirely stupid people. If you look around the families of your acquain-
tance you will see such cases in all directions. I know it has been the
case in mine. I can trace the father and the son and the grandson,
and the family stamp is quite distinctly legible upon each of them."

Thomas Carlyle.

DATES, OLD STYLE AND NEW

Prior to Sept. 1752, the dates in this genealogy are in the Old Style.
In those days, the year began March 25th, called Lady Day, or Annun-
ciation Day, in commemoration of the event recorded in St. Luke's
Gospel, chap. 1. 5, 26-28. The first month of the year was, then,
March: and the twelfth was February. September, October, November
and December, were the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months, as
their derivation indicates.

From the year 1582 to 1752 ten days should be added to dates in
the Old Style in order to have them agree with our present reckoning.
For example, our ancestors landed at Boston Nov. 4. O.S., but Nov. 14
should be the day observed as our "Forefathers' Day."

PART I

THE FAMILY OF

BENNETT ELIOT AND LETTEYE AGGAR, THEIR

CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN,

INCLUDING THE WILL OF

BENNETT ELIOT

"Were I sure to go to Heaven tomorrow, I would do
what I do today."

THE FAMILY OF

BENNETT ELIOT AND LETTEYE AGGAR, HIS

WIFE: THEIR CHILDREN AND

GRANDCHILDREN

(Prepared by Dr. Ellsworth Eliot.— This part is not indexed.)

i. The family of John Eliot, "Apostle to the Indians," has
been traced back to Oct. 30, 1598, when his father, Bennett1, and
his mother Letteye (Aggar) were married, as it is recorded in
the Parish Register of the Church of St. John the Baptist,
Widford, County of Hertford, England. The births or bap-
tisms of their children indicate that they removed from Widford
to Nazeing, County of Essex, between 1606 and 1610. Bennett
was buried at Nazeing, Nov. 21, 1621 ; she, March 16, 1620.
Both in graves now unmarked and unknown.

2. i. Sarah2, bapt. Jan. 13, 1599, at Widford; d. March 27,

1673.

3. ii. Phillip2, bapt. Apr. 25, 1602, at Widford ; d. Oct. 22,

i657-

4. iii. John2, bapt. Aug. 5, 1604, at Widford ; d. May 21, 1690.

5. iv. Jacob2, bapt. Sept. 21, 1606, at Widford; d. before Nov.

2, 165 1.

6. v. Lydia2, bapt. July 1, 1610, at Nazeing; d. about 1676.

7. vi. Francis2, bapt. Apr. 10, 1615, at Nazeing; d. in 1677.

8. vii. Mary2, bapt. March 11, 1620, at Nazeing; d. about 1697.

So far as is known, the brothers of John Eliot, Phillip and
Jacob, have not descendants in the male line. All of Bennett
Eliot's children left "The Old Home" for the new world.

As the first years of their son, John, "were seasoned with the
fear of God, the word and prayer" ; and as the will of Bennett
Eliot shows evidently a large landed estate, besides other pos-
sessions, the family doubtless enjoyed an excellent position.

4 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

2. Sarah2 (Bennett1), married to Wm. Curtis, Aug. 6, 1618.

He was bapt. Nov. 12, 1592 ; d. Dec. 9, 1672.

They came to Boston, in ship Lyon, and landed Sept. 16,
1632. They built a house on Stony river in 1639, which became
famous on account of its antiquity and historical associations,
and was torn down in 1886; having been occupied by seven
generations of the Curtis family. In 1893 there was a farm at
Nazeing, called the Curtis farm.

In John Eliot's Record of Church Members, Roxbury, Mass.,
it is written : "William Curtis he came to this Land in the
yeare. 1632. & soone after joyned to the church, he brought 4
children wth him. Thomas. Mary. John. Phillip. & his eldest
son Willia, came the yeare before, he was a hopefull scholler,
but God tooke him in the end of the yeare. 1634."

15. vii. John3, bapt. at Nazeing, July 17, 1629; m. Rebecca Wheeler

Dec. 20, 1661. Her death is thus recorded in the Roxbury
Church Records: "Month 3 day 16 (1675). Rebecca, wife
to John Curtis, dyed of hydropycall humors wch occasioned
the more speedy burial of her, on the Sabath Evening".

16. viii. Philip3, bapt. at Nazeing, March 28, 1632 ; d. 1675 ; rn. Obedi-

ence Holland, Oct. 20, 1658. He was a lieutenant in the war
with King Philip, and was slain by the Indians.

17. ix. Hannah3, b. in Roxbury; m. Wm. Cary (or Geary), 1651.

18. x. Isaac3, b. in Roxbury, July 22, 1641 (1642) ; d. May 31, 1695;

m. Hannah Poly, 1670.

3. Philip2 (Bennett1).

Probably came to this country in the Hopewell, Apr. 3, 1635,
with his wife and children. He was freeman, March 25, 1636 ;
member of the Artillery Co., 1638 ; Deputy to the General Court,
1 654- 1 657 ; Deacon in the Roxbury Church ; one of the five
men to order the prudential affairs of the town. Feoffee of the
Public School in Roxbury.

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 5

His marriage is thus quaintly recorded : "Oct. 20, 1624.
Philip Eliot of Nasing, Essex, husbandman, a bachelor aged
about 22, and Elizabeth Sybthorpe of Little Hallingbury in Co.
Essex, maiden, about 23, daughter of Robert Sybthorpe,
deceased : there appeared William Curtis of Nasing aforesaid,
husbandman, and testified the consent of Anne Sybthorpe,
widow, mother to the said Elizabeth ; at Nasing, or Little
Hallingbury."

Extracts from marriage licenses granted by the Bishop of
London, 1598-1639. "Historical Collections of the Essex
Institute," vol. xxviii, Nos. 2 and 3, 1891. Elizabeth died Jan.
8, 1659.

Philip's virtues are thus recorded by his brother John in the
Roxbury Church Records : "Philip Eliot he dyed about the 22d
of the 8l month : 57. he was a man of peace, & very faithful,
he was many years in the office of a Deacon wh he discharged
faithfully, in his latter years he was very lively usefull & active
for God, & his Cause. The Lord gave him so much acceptanc
in the hearts of the people y* he dyed under many of the offices
of trust y* are usually put upon men of his rank, for besides his
office of a Deakon, he was a Deputy to the Gen. Court, he was
a Corhissioner for the govnm' of the towne, he was one of the
5 men to order the prudential affairs of the towne ; & he was
chosen to be Feoffe of the Publike Schoole in Roxbury."

See N. E. Hist. & Genealog. Reg., vol. viii, p. 281, for an
abstract of his will.

19. i. Elizabeth3, bapt. at Nazeing, Apr. 8, 1627; d. Apr. 18, 1714; m.

about 1649, Richard Withington and had several children.

20. ii. Sarah3, bapt. at Nazeing, Jan. 25, 1628; d. Nov. 12, 1686; m. to

John Aldis, Sept. 27, 1650, and had several children.

21. iii. Lydia8, bapt. at Nazeing, June 12, 1631 ; m. John Smith of

Dedham after the death of her father in 1657.

It has been supposed that Philip (No. 3) had a son Philip,
because a child of this name, aged 2 years, came in the Hopewell
in 1635 with his wife and daughters. As there is no record in
any passenger-list of Philip (No. 3), and as Philip, aged 2 years,
does not appear in any previous or subsequent record, the dis-
tinguished genealogist, Mr. Wm. H. Whitmore, supposes that

b DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

Philip, aged 2 years, should be Philip, aged 32 ; and that Philip2
(No. 3) is therefore the person whose name appears in the
passenger-list of the Hopewell.

and was ordained, as one of its "Ruling Elders," Sept. 13,
1649.

Being a follower of the celebrated Mrs. Hutchinson, he, with
57 others, was compelled to give up army and ammunition.

Notes. The marriage of Bennett Eliot and Letty Aggar is thus
recorded in the Widford Parish Register:

"An0 Dom° 1598.
Bennett Eliot and Lettye Aggar were married
the xxxth of October An0 Sup Dicto."
The will of Bennett Eliot is signed Benedict Eliot. In the body of
the will, it is spelled Bennet.

The record of his and his wife's burial at Nazeing is

"Ben'dt Eliot buried ye 21 of November" (1621.)
"Lettes Ellyot 16 March. (1620).
Mary's baptism, in the Nazeing Register, is

"1620-1. Marrey Eleot, xi March."
It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between dates of births and dates
of baptism, the letter b being used somewhat indiscriminately.

Notes. "Yeoman" is defined as "a man of small estate in land,
formerly ranking immediately below a gentleman or squire ; a farmer."

Blackstone has it : "A yeoman is he that hath free land of forty
shillings by the year; who was anciently thereby qualified to serve on
juries, vote for knight of the shire, and do any other act where the law
requires one that is probus et legalis homo."

The word is also defined as belonging to a class of those small land-
holders, once so important a section of the English Commons, coming
next to the gentry, but now hardly known as a class.

The word is occasionally found in the early records of New England.

"Crazy," an unusual word in wills, means weak : broken.

"Coppy and customary lands." "Copy-hold," "a tenure of land or
houses by copy of court-roll." "A tenure of estate by copy of court-roll ;
or a tenure for which the tenant has nothing to show, except the rolls
made by the steward of the lord's court."

"Customary," according to a law or a right established by some custom
or long-established usage."

Mr. Winters, author of "Memorials of the Pilgrims," informed the
writer that it was "customary" to hold up a rod horizontally, under
which a tenant passed, in order to acquire from the lord of the manor
a certain title (not fee-simple) to real estate. In his opinion, "the
inheritance of my sayde lands and Tenements," was about the same
as a recommendation to the lord of the manor.

_ "Croft," a small farm or field. Some of the parcells of land men-
tioned as "crottwell croft," "Coles Croft," "Dameter in great Hyfeild,"
"Souters Comon," it would be very difficult, perhaps impossible, to locate.

"Scholler." Stormath defines this word, "An undergraduate partly
supported by the revenues of the college."

"Messuage," "a dwelling-house and offices, with the land attached."
"A dwelling-house, including certain outhouses and grounds, as parcel
of the house.

"My goddaughter Mary Curtis." Bennett Eliot had a granddaughter,
Mary Curtis, baptized at Nazeing, March 11, 1620. This word is defined,
"A female child for whom one becomes sponsor at baptism."

"My daughter Mary Curtis." "Mary" should be Sarah, probably a
clerical error.

AND THEIR DESCENDANTS

"We cannot say that we ever saw him walking any whither but that

"I think that we can never love and honor this man of God enough.'

THE FAMILY OF

JOHN ELIOT AND HANNAH MOUNTFORD
AND THEIR DESCENDANTS

1. JOHN1, Minister and Missionary to the Indians in America
and our great ancestor ; baptized at Widford, Hertfordshire,
England, August 5, 1604; died May 21, 1690.

He was educated at Jesus College, Cambridge, England, 1618-
22 ; taught in the school of Thomas Hooker at Little Baddow,
Essex, England, for part of the time before he came to America,
which was in 1631, in the ship Lion. He landed in Boston
November 4, took Mr. Wilson's place in the Boston church
during Mr. Wilson's absence in England, was settled at Rox-
bury over the church in 1632. He married Sept. 4, 1632, Hanna
Mountford, who came from England that year. [Hanna vari-
ously spelled Ann, Anna, Hanna, Hannah ; Mountford is found
as Mountforth, Mountfort, Mumforth, Mumfort, Mumford.]

In the records of the Roxbury church he wrote the name of
his wife "Mrs. Ann Eliot." In another part he wrote "he left
his intended wife in England to come the next yeare." Again :
"He left behind him in England a vertuous young gentlewoman
whom he had persued and purposed a Marriage unto and she
coming here the year following, that marriage was consummated
in the month of October A.D. 1632." (C. M.)

Nothing is yet known of the family of Hanna, but it is to
be hoped that an enthusiastic descendant will some day make
researches in England which will give us the true ancestry of
this great and good woman. For the estimate of her character
and abilities, her skill in the healing art, and her husband's high
tribute to her, see Part III.

2. i. Hannah2, b. Sept. 17, 1633 ; d. Feb. 9, 1708.

In the life of her father, published in 1691, Cotton Mather
writes : "This Gentlewoman is yet alive, and one well-approved
for her Piety and Gravity" (C. M. 7.).

Jan. 18, 1705. In Sewall's Diary is: "I visited the widow
Hannah Glover, who is blind" (p. 135, vol. 2).

Feb. 9, 170 s/9 "Mrs. Hannah Glover dies in the 76th year
of her Age ; was widow of Mr. Habakkuk Glover, daughter of
Mr. John Eliot, who married here and this daughter was born
at Roxbury in the Fall 1633, just about the time Mrs. Rock
was born. So that this Gentlewoman, though born in N. E.
passed not only 60 but 70 years, and became a Great-Grand-
mother in our Israel." — (S. D. vol. ii. p. 250.)

"FeriaSexta, Feb. 11th, 170 8/„ Mrs. Hannah Glover is buried
in a Tomb in the new burying place, Beavers, Winthrop, Sewall,
Addington Sargent, Foyerwather, Checkley. Very Cold day."

my son-in-law Mr. Habbakuk Glover to teach and order ym, who
hath this Summer discharged the work to theire good acceptance
& satisfaction." — (John1 Eliot, in "Some Correspondence" &c.)

She was married May 4, 1653 by Thomas Dudley, Deputy
Governor of Massachusetts, to Habbakuk Glover of Dorchester,
Mass. He was the son of John Glover, one of the early settlers
of that town. He was born in England, May 13, 1628; d. in
1693, aged 65. Their descendants may be traced in the Glover
Genealogy.

, JOHN2 (John1), A.B. Harvard Coll. 1656. Minister at
Newton, Mass., and assisted his father in preaching to the
Indians. In the class of 1656, H. C, numbering eight, his name
is the sixth in the list. In the early days of the college, the
place of the name of a student in his class is supposed to have
been determined by the social position of his family.

When he received his second degree, his subject was:
"Utrum anima sit subjectum capax cognitionis infinitas."
Affirmat Respondens Johannes Eliotess.

For not less than seven years subsequent to his graduation
he received compensation from the Commissioners of the United
Colonies for his services to the Indians. July 20, 1684, he was
ordained minister to the First Church (then just organized) at
New Cambridge, now Newton, Mass.

Gookin says he "was not only pastor of an English church
. . . and a very excellent preacher in the English tongue, but
also, for sundry years, he preached the gospel to the Indians,
once a fortnight constantly at Pakemit (Stoughton) and
sometimes at Natick and other places: and the most judicious
Christian Indians esteemed very highly of him, as a most
excellent preacher in their language, as I have often heard them
say."

Morton says : "He was a person excellently endowed, and
accomplished with Gifts of Nature, Learning and Grace ; of
comely Proportion, ruddy Complexion, cheerful Countenance ;
of quick Apprehension, solid Judgement, excellent Prudence ;
Learned both in Tongues and Arts for one of his time, and
studiously intense in acquiring more knowledge. His Abilities
and Acceptation in the Ministry did excell ; His Piety, Faith,
Love, Humility, Self-deniall, and Zeal, did eminently shine upon
all occasions. . . In a word there was so much of God in him,
that all the wise and godly who knew him, loved and honored
him in the Lord, and bewailed his death."

Hubbard says : "For his years he was ■ "nulli secundus" as
to all literature and other gifts, both of nature and grace, which
made him so generally acceptable to all that had opportunity of
partaking of his labors, or the least acquaintance with him."

Homer says : "A tender affection subsisted between him and
the people of his charge. . . . He fell sick with an eruption of
blood, and died 13, October, 1668."

Cotton Mather says : "He bore his father's name and had his
father's grace. He was a person of notable accomplishments ;
and a lively, zealous and acute preacher, not only to the English
at New Cambridge, but also to the Indians thereabout. He
grew so fast that he was found ripe for heaven many years ago ;
and upon his death-bed uttered such penetrating things as could
proceed from none but one upon the borders and confines of
eternal glory."

One of these "penetrating things" was found in a "fragment
of some students' note book," of which the following is a copy.
(See the "Congregational Quarterly," vol. vii, pp. 193-4.)

"A speech of Mr. John Eliot upon his Death Bed. It being
said to him, Sr yor crown is even ready for you : to which he
answered "my crown is ready: Christ has been a great while
preparing a mansion for me, to which I am now going. Oh w'
a solemn thing it is to appear before Jesus Christ, who shall be
the judge of all the world! who appeared to John in ye
Revelation with eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet of fine
brass, yet as he took John by his right hand, and not by his left,
so will he take me by my right hand and not by my left, and
present me before the Father, and the Father will receive me,
and the Son, the mediator of ye covenant will receive me, even
me, a worm, that lie here spitting in such a condition, even Christ
will kiss me, with ye kisses of his mouth, and I shall kiss him
and not be despised. Oh ! wonder of mercy ! that Christ should
love such a worm as I am, y* can love him but a little, yet do
love him with all my soul. Oh, what a wonder of mercy y* this
little soul of mine should enjoy such blessedness that am so
unworthy of it. I could put myself under a dunghill I am so
vile in myself, yet in the robes of my Saviour, those glorious
robes of Christ's righteousness, how beautiful ! how comely !
how glorious! Glory! Glory! Glory! and if I had strength,
I could even do as Abraham did, fall upon my face and laugh
in sense of Christ's love to me, and blessed be God, I have done
it many a time in my study; many a time have I fallen upon
my face in sense of Christ's love to me, many a time have I
supped with Christ in my study, and many a time hath Christ
supped with me there, and as Paul said, thanks be to God, who
always gives us cause to triumph in Christ, in him I do triumph
and will triumph though vile in myself ; yet as Christ saith, I

have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore with loving
kindness have I drawn thee, therefore as Christ saith, look to
me and be saved all ye of ye earth ; and I do look to him and
shall be saved. And these things have I preached according to
ye narrowness that words could express and some have received
them, and I have heard it from them, and others have done as
they have done."

His mother said to him, "You have enjoyed too much of
heaven here to live long here ; you are now going to your
Brother Sam" and to your dear wife," and he answered, "Oh to
my dear Saviour ! and I shall go to ye old patriarchs, to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I shall go to the spirits of just
men made perfect, and have communion with them, tho' I know
not in what way and manner."

After some more words he said he did believe God would
reduce New England into an heap, and leave it a poor and
afflicted people, yl should say, blessed is he y* cometh in ye name
of ye Lord. "Boston and Massachusetts Collony is coming
down! down! down! apace." Transcribd January 20, 1712-13.

Sept. 3, 1668. The Commissioners of the United Colonies
write to the Hon. Rob1. Boyle: "Wee do not understand that
there lyeth any discouragement upon the labourers in the worke,
yet we cannot but be sensible that the Lord in his wise provi-
dence is drawing a black line over it by his afflicting hand upon
young Mr. Eliot who lyeth under a consumption distemper so
that his continuance is much feared." (S. C. p. 20.)

John Eliot and his first wife were among the first to be
buried in the graveyard at Newton, she in 1665, he in 1668.
His grave is within a few feet of the pulpit where he preached.
The monumental inscription as given in Barber's Historical Col-
lections of Massachusetts is :

"Rev. John Eliot A. M. son of the Apostolic Eliot, assistant
Indian missionary. First pastor of the First Church, ordained
on the day of its gathering, July 20 (Aug. 1 N. S.) 1664, eight
years after the forming of a Society distinct from Cambridge,
died Oct. 11. 1668, Ae. xxxm. Learned, Pious and Beloved
by English and Indians, "My dying counsel is, secure an interest
in the Lord Jesus Christ and this will carry you safely to the
world's end." As a preacher, lively, accomplished, zealous, and
Heaven received his ascending Spirit, 155 years since." Erected

CHILD OF JOHN2 ELIOT BY SECOND WIFE.

+ 9. ii. John3, b. Apr. 28, 1667 ; d. Mar. 25, 1719.

4. JOSEPH2 (John1), A.B. Harv. Coll. 1658. Minister at
Northampton, Mass., and at Guilford, Conn. All the descend-
ants of John1 Eliot, having his surname, have Joseph2 for their
ancestor.

In Sept. 1658, the year of his graduation, "Mr. Joseph Eliot
being tendered by his father to bee Imployed in the Indian worke
and himselfe manifesting his Reddiness to attend the same, was
promised due Incurragment according as hee shall Improve
himselfe in learning the Language." Compensation to the
amount of about £10 was annually given him for three years for
this worke.

July 4, 1661. His name appears in the list of those who signed
the Church Covenant at Northampton, Mass. Later he was
associated with the Rev. Eleazer Mather in the ministry of the
Northampton Church, with whom he must have had very
friendly relations, as the latter preached the sermon when he
was settled over the church in Guilford. It is natural to sup-
pose this duty would have fallen to the lot of his father, "The
Apostle to the Indians," but, although he lived twenty-six years
after his son's settlement, it is not known that he ever visited
him.

Jan. 1, 1663, the town of Northampton voted to build a house
for him, and offered other inducements if he would permanently
settle with them, but he was prevailed upon to go to Guilford.

After the departure of the Rev. Mr. Whitfield, the father

of the plantation, at Menuncatuck (now Guilford and Madison,
Conn.), in 1650, and of his son-in-law, the Rev. John Higginson,
in 1659, tne church there was apparently like a ship without a
rudder in a storm at sea. Several ministers tried in vain to
fill the vacancy. The Rev. Thomas Ruggles, pastor of the
town, 1729-1770, tells of their deliverance as follows:

"After they, i. e. the inhabitants of Guilford, had Waded thr°
these Troublesome times, Providence provided for them a pastor
after God's own hart, to feed them with Knowledge and
Understanding. For, about the year '64 or '65, The Renowned
Mr. Joseph Eliot, Son of the famous and Pious Mr. John Eliot
of Roxburw The Indian New England Apostle, was Called and
Introduced, and by the Laying on of the Hands of the Pres-
bytery was Ordained to the pastoral office in the Church. Mr.
Mather of North Hampton with whom Mr. Eliot had lived for
some time before he came to Guilford being the Chief in the
ordination."

Just when he left Northampton for Guilford is unknown, but
his letter to his brother Benjamin from there is dated May 18,
1664, from which it may be inferred that Guilford was then
his home. Even the scanty records of those early days show
that his life must have been a busy one, and that he was called
upon many times to assist in the decision of important questions.

The Rev. Thomas Ruggles refers to him in these words:
"Mr. Joseph Eliot was for many years the conspicuous minister
of Guilford, whose great abilities as a divine, a politician, and
a physician, were justly admired, not only among his own
people, but throughout the colony, where his praises are in the
churches."

And again he adds: "The Church and Town Greatly flour-
ished under his successful Ministry, and Rose to Great Fame in
the Colony."

May 16, 1668. At a Court of Election held at Hartford,
Conn., he was appointed one of a Committee to find some
expedient for the peace of the churches.

Oct. 8, 1668, the same committee was appointed to settle some
religious differences at Windsor, Conn.

Dec. 17, 1675. Appointed on a committee "to make diligent
search for those evils amongst us, which have stirred up the
Lord's anger against us. that they being discovered may, by

24 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

repentance and reformation, be thrown out of or camp and
hearts ; and they were also desired to send up their conclusions
to the Councill, the following weeke, by Mr. Wakeman and
Mr. Eliott."

Nov. 8, 1676. "The County" (New Haven, Conn.) Court,
being sensible of a hopeful advantage to the furtherance of
religion and reformation, by setting an able Lecture where it
might be aptest and the greatest concourse to attend the same,
doe recommend it, and desire the Rev. Mr. Eliot to begin a
monthly lecture at New Haven the first Wednesday in March
next and soe continue until this court shall appoint some other
to succeed."

Although he must have been chiefly occupied with his
ministerial duties, yet great reliance was placed upon him, as
a man of science and a physician. The Guilford records relate
that in 1683-4 "poyson was to be gotten of the Rev. Mr. Eliot
with his directions for the improving it for the poysoning of
wolves."

He sent some obscure cases to John Winthrop, Jr., at New
London, as in this instance, with a note: "Much honored, Ye
man John Megs his wife hath a gentle beginning of fits of
flatus hypochondriacus y4 stir upon griefe, yet without violence
for the present, in fears they may increase help is desired in the
use of means if you shal please to take notice of the case.

Sr I am humbly yours to serve
Joseph Eliot.

(Guil. 20. 1. 1673)

It may not be out of the way to say that "fits of flatus hypo-
chondriacus" is a disorder known nowadays as "hysterics."

In 1681 the General Court at Hartford, Conn., made a grant
of land of 200 acres to Mr. Eliot. Most, if not all, of this tract
is owned by one of his descendants, Mr. Franklin Henry Hart,
of New Haven, Conn.

Dec. 6, 1681. The people at Branford, Conn., "conclude to
seek God's help in regard to obtaining a minister. They invite
the Rev. Mr. Elliott of Guilford to come and carry on a day of
humiliation and prayer with them."

Oct. 16, 1687. Many attended the funeral of Mr. Benjamin
Eliot at Roxbury Mass. Some kame at noon to hear Mr.
Joseph Eliot preach.

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 25

Oct. 18, 1687. Mr. Joseph Eliot preached at Roxbury lecture.
"Mr. Eliot said the King was turned a Puritan and he was
ravished at it."

Oct. 27, 1687. Mr. Joseph Eliot preached at Roxbury. the
Lecture from I Cor. 2. 2. parallels the diseases of New England
with Corinth ; among others mentions, itching ears, hearkening
after false Teachers and consequently Drinking in false
Principles and despising, sitting loose from the true Teachers.
He advised them to fly into the arms of a crucified Christ,
because probably might have no whither else to goe.

May 29, 1688. Judge Sewall in his Diary writes: "Mr.
Joseph Eliot preaches at Roxbury when I goe." On the next
day, May 30, is this astonishing record by the Judge: "Mr.
Joseph Eliot here says the two days wherein he buried his Wife
and Son, were the best he ever had in the world." The editors
of the diary add this foot-note: "The kindest construction
should be put on this remark of the bereaved husband and
father."

In Sewall's diary, there are a number of recorded visits to
Roxbury and Boston. One under date of Nov. 21, 1692, is:
Mr. Joseph Eliot of Guilford, visited supped and prayed with
us, went not away till half an hour after nine at night."

From the town of Guilford he received valuable grants of
land and other favors. Much of the land has remained the
property of his descendants and is now owned and occupied by
Edward Eliot.

His will, dated Dec. 1, 1693, is printed in the previous edition
of the Eliot Genealogy, pp. 145-7. He left "ten pounds
towards the buying of a bell." One was bought June 6, 1725,
which having been recast and increased not less than four
times, still calls the people to religious worship.

A fruit-bearing pear tree was standing in his home lot until
1865, when it was blown down.

His autograph and some other of his handwriting is owned
by Dr. Ellsworth Eliot of New York City.

The Rev. Thomas Ruggles says: "After this Burning and
Shining Light had ministered to this Good people About 30
years, he deceased May 24. 1694. to the inexpressible Grief of
his beloved flock, whose memory is not forgotten to this Day."

His grave, unmarked, is upon the east side of Guilford Green,
but the following circular tells of his perpetual Memorial :

26 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

That his good name and the knowledge of his valuable
services may not perish from the earth, and that his memory
may be lastingly associated with useful deeds, Dr. Ellsworth
Eliot and many other of his descendants have decided to establish
as his memorial a scholarship in Yale College, to be known as
"The Joseph Eliot Memorial Scholarship," under the following
rules :

I. The scholarship is intended for Academical students only.
II. The fund for this scholarship shall be managed by the "Presi-
dent and Fellows of Yale College in New Haven."

III. The usual percentage for managing trust-funds may be charged

by the College, if the President so direct.

IV. The names of the subscribers shall be kept in a book which shall

be deposited in the archives of the College, when this fund
shall amount to $10000.
V. The President shall decide all disputes respecting this fund, and
his interpretation of these rules shall be decisive.

VI. One per cent, upon the principal shall be annually added thereto,
until it shall amount to $10000. The remainder of the interest
shall be appropriated to a descendant of Joseph Eliot, bearing
the name of Eliot, under the rules hereinafter mentioned.
VII. When the principal shall amount to $5000, one per cent, having
been deducted, and added to the principal as directed in Rule
VI, should there be no descendant of Joseph Eliot bearing the
name of Eliot entitled to receive the interest, it shall then be
given to any other descendant of Joseph Eliot who has
another family name.
VIII. When the principal shall amount to $10000, should there be no
descendant of Joseph Eliot entitled to receive the interest, it
shall then be given to a student who is a legal resident of the
town of Guilford, Conn.; or secondly, to a descendant of
any legal resident of that town. Should there be no descend-
ant of Joseph Eliot, nor any student from Guilford, nor a
descendant of a legal resident of that town, entitled to receive
the interest on this Fund, then the interest shall be used for
buying books for the College Library.

IX. All students receiving the interest must maintain a grade of
scholarship in their classes, which shall give them rank in the
first half of the members thereof.
X. A student who incurs the serious discipline of the college
authorities shall not have the benefit of the scholarship while
he is the subject of discipline.

XI. Should there be more than one applicant for the benefit of the
scholarship, it shall be given to the one who has the first rank
in scholarship.

Joseph married, first, about 1675-6, Sarah, dau. of William
and Martha (Burton) Brenton, of Rhode Island.

Governor William Brenton was born at Hammersmith,
England, came to Boston in 1633, went soon to Rhode Island,
where he was in high office in 1638. He was Governor of
Rhode Island in 1666-7-8. He lived in Taunton, Mass., 1670-2,
and died at Newport, R. I., in 1674. William Brenton, whose
wife was Martha Burton, in his will made Feb. 9, 1673, and
proved at Newport Nov. 13, 1674. leaves to his daughter Sarah
Brenton "a farm on Cononicut" etc., and "'/is of Merrimack

The following deposition was produced in the case of
"Augustus Lucas of Newport, merchant, vs. Jahleel Brenton of
Newport, deceased," in an action of trespass and ejectment,
Supreme Court, Newport Co., 1735 : "Elizabeth and Mehitable
Fowler declare what we know relating to the parentage of Mrs.
Barsheba Lucas, dec. late wife of Mr. Augustus Lucas of New-
port, merchant. We were neighbors to and well acquainted
with Rev. Mr. Joseph Elliot, formerly pastor of the Church of
Christ in the town of Guilford, colony of Conn, and his first wife
who was called Sarah and was reputed to be the daughter of
one Mr. Brenton of Taunton, near Rhode Island, and sister of
Jahleel Brenton, Esq., late of said Rhode Island, deceased. We
did not witness the marriage of said Mr. Elliot with said Sarah,
but knew they lived together in said Guilford as husband and
wife, for many years, till said Elliot had four daughters, born of
said Sarah, the youngest of whom was the above-named
Barsheba, who was born 14 days before the death of her said
mother. She was brought up by her father, the said Elliott and
was somewhat lame. We were not witnesses to the marriage
of said Lucas and said Barsheba, but were conversant with said
Barsheba in Guilford, where she visited 24 or 25 years ago, with
her two children, viz, a son called Augustus Lucas, and a
daughter called Barsheba Lucas. She professed herself the
wife of said Augustus Lucas, of Newport, and mother of the
children. Further we heard our honored mother Mary Fowler,

Joseph Eliot married his second wife, Mary Wyllys, about
1684-5. She was the daughter of Samuel Wyllys and Ruth
Haynes. Samuel Wyllys was born about 1632 in England, and
coming to this country in 1638, graduated at Harvard in 1653.
He was an influential man, occupying many public offices, and
was one of the signers of the Royal Charter granted by Charles
II to Connecticut in 1662. He died in 1709. Samuel Wyllys
was the son of Governor George Wyllys, who was the son of
Richard (or Timothy) Wyllys, gentleman, from Fenny Comp-
ton, Warwick, England. George was the third governor of the
Connecticut Colony, being elected in 1641-2.

Ruth Haynes, the wife of Samuel Wyllys, was the daughter
of Gov. John Haynes. John Haynes was a gentleman from
Copford Hall (Essex?), and a graduate of Cambridge, England.

He was born about 1590 and came to New England in 1633
with Rev. Thomas Hooker. He settled first in Massachusetts
Bay Colony, of which he was governor in 1636. He then
removed to Connecticut, settled at Hartford, and was the first
governor of the Connecticut Colony in 1639 and every alternate
year till 1653, alternating with Edward Hopkins, except in 1642,
when George Wyllys served. He died in 1654. He was twice
married, and by his second wife, Mabel Harlakenden, had three
children, Joseph, Ruth and Mabel. Through Mabel Harla-
kenden, whose pedigree will be found in another part of this

She survived her husband 21 years. His gravestone in North
Guilford reads :

In memory of Deacn. William Dudley
who died Feb. 28th, 1781, in his 78th year.

I 17. viii. Abial", b. 1692. ( ?)

As to date of birth of Abial Eliot. In 1691 it was voted in
Guilford that there should be the fourth division of land.
Joseph Eliot, his wife, four daughters of the first wife, two
daughters of his second wife, and his son Jared were entitled to
shares. As Abial is not mentioned, it is fair to suppose that he
was not then born. According to Guilford records he died Oct.
28, 1776, aged 84 years. This would make the year of his birth
1692, and he would thus be the youngest child of Joseph and
Mary Wyllys Eliot.

5. SAMUEL2 (John'), A.B. Harvard Coll. 1660. He was
chosen Aug. 24, 1663. a tutor and fellow of that institution. In
a class of eight, not alphabetically arranged, his name is the
third.

His college expenses were, in part at least, paid by all kinds
of farm produce, such as "barley malte," "wheate," "Calves,"
"goates," "weathers," "Skines," "Suett," "chickens," "a side
of beaffe." "Indian corne," &c. &c.

The subject of his Commencement part on taking his second
degree in 1663 was : "On Anima rationalis sit Natura immor-
talis," to which is added, "Affirmat Respondens Samuel
Jiliotus."

There is reason for thinking he taught school in Roxbury
soon after he graduated.

Cotton Mather characterizes him thus : "A most lovely young
Man, eminent for Learning and Goodness, a Fellow of the
Colledge and Candidate of the Ministry."

Gookin says : "He gave abundant demonstration of his piety,
ability, gravity, and excellent temper. He left this world, and
ascended to glory, after he had taken his second degree in the
college. He hath undoubtedly arrived to his highest degree in
the Empyreal Heaven. He was a person of whom the world
was not worthy." — Sibley's Harvard Graduates ii. pp. 60. 61.

BENJAMIN2 {John1), A.B. Harv. Coll. 1665. In the class
there were eight graduates, the name of Benjamin Eliot being
the first, and that of Calel Cheehahkaumuk, an Indian, being the
last.

The Commencement part on taking his second degree in 1668
has for its subject, "Utrum dexter causa aliqua externa
volitionis divinae." Negat Respondens, Benjamin Eliotus.

At a town meeting in Mendon, Mass., Apr. 24, 1668, it was
"Ordered to send A Letter to give Mr. Benjamin Aliot a call,
with his ffather's leave, and a Letter sent to that effect," but
the application does not appear to have been successful. He
received invitations from several places to become their pastor,
but it had been a cherished object with his father that he should
succeed him in his charge.

Mather says, "the Apostle Eliot's Benjamin was made the
Son of His Right Hand, for the Invitation of the People at
Roxbury, placed him in the same Pulpit with his Father, where
he was Assistant for many years ; there they had a Proof of
him, that as a Son with his Father, he served with him in the
Gospel."

Samuel Sewall writes: "May 11th 1685 I accompanied Mr.
Moodey (H. C. 1653) to Mr. Eliots to persuade Mr. Benjamin
to go to the Ordination of Mr. Cotton Mather, in which I hope
we have prevailed ; the mentioning of it drew Tears from the
good Father, so as to hinder his speech." May 13th 1685, "Mr.
Benjamin Eliot was there, who had not been at Town these
many years." Aug. 24. 1687. "I visit Mr. Benjamin Eliot who
is much touched as to his Understanding and .almost all ye
while I was there kept heaving up his shoulders : would many
times laugh and would sing with me ... he read three or
more staves of the Seventy-first Psalm 9 verses, his Father and
Jno. Eliot singing with us; Mr. Benjamin would in some notes
be very extravagant, would have sung again before I came
away but's Father prevailed with him to ye contrary, alledging
ye children would say he was distracted. Came with me to the
Gate when took horse."

Mather adds : "But his Fate was like that which the great
Gregory Nanzianzen describes in his Discourse upon the Death
of his honourable Brother, his aged Father being now alive and
present; "My Father having laid up in a better World, a rich

He was probably not ordained as a minister, as his name is
not italicized in the College catalogue.

In the library of the Massachusetts Historical Society is a
volume in manuscript containing notes of sermons by Benjamin
Eliot, his father and others.

Dr. Ellsworth Eliot of New York has an imperfect copy of
sermons by Henrie Smith dated 1592, which has the autograph
of Benjamin Eliot.

9. JOHN3 (John2, John1), Guilford and Windsor, Conn. ; lawyer
and statesman ; A.B. H. C. 1685. He was a deputy from
Guilford to the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut
in 1696-7. In 1 701 and for many subsequent years he was a
deputy from Windsor, the last time in 1718. He was Speaker
not less than eight times, for which he was allowed special
compensation. During many sessions he was upon important
committees. For many years he was appointed Justice of the
Peace and Quorum for Hartford Co. In 1708 he was granted
a monopoly to manufacture tar and pitch. He also accepted an
offer from the town of Windsor to work iron ore.

The County Court Records in New Haven 1666- 1698 show
that he was appointed Commissioner of the heirs of Major
Thompson, Sept. 9, 1667. During his residence in Guilford he
was employed as a school teacher. He had the honor, of a gift
of land and was sent to the General Assembly.

When the institution which finally became Yale University-
was in its first beginning, his advice was sought and given in
regard to legal procedures connected therewith.

In 1 714, at a proprietors' meeting in Northampton, Mass., it
was voted to refer a matter respecting a land division to a com-
mittee, of which John Eliot was one. According to the
"Economic and Social History of New England 1620-1789" by
William B. Weeden, his library was of an unusually high char-
acter. "The most comprehensive list I have seen covers the
library of John Eliott Esq. at Hartford in 1719. It contains
243 titles. (See Part III.) The brilliant and permanent litera-

ture of Queen Anne had made hardly any impression in our
colonies, but this collection had two volumes of 'The Tattler.'
It is a most heterogeneous lot, old histories, sermons, a few
medical books, and more upon law, miscellaneous literature,
almost all now unknown to the ordinary reader."

His maternal grandfather, Major General Daniel Gookin,
applied to Harvard College for a scholarship for him Sept. 12,
1682, saying, "His father left him but small matters (except
his bookes) of outward things in order to bring him up to
learning, which was his last desire at his death." After gradu-
ation he studied divinity, and "entered upon the work of the
ministry," but must have soon discontinued it. When he took
his second degree in 1688, his exercise is worded, "An Diversifi-
catio corporum Oriatur a motu." There is added, "Affirmat
Respondens Johannes Eliotes."

According to the inscription on a horizontal slab over his
grave in Windsor, he died, "March ye 25. Anno Christi 1719.
Aetatus suae LI I."

Quotation from will of Joseph Eliot: "Whereas My father,
upon the decease of my last brother, Benjamin, gave me deeds
of my brother's land and movable estate in immediate possession,
yet with this provision that it should be only for covart, he being
left alone in his old age, and not to hinder his making his will,
according to his meaning and true intent, which he afterwards
did, and therein gave a third part of his lands and goods to his
grandson, my nephew John Eliot, who hath accordingly received
his full part in the movables, and I have given him an imperfect
deed of the lands ; I do now confirm and ratify my father's
will to him, so far as I am enabled by the deeds afore mentioned ;
but for several reasons see not light or ground any further as to
the enlarging his portion, which reasons may be better concealed
than published."

It will be seen from the foregoing that John Eliot. "Apostle,"
made a will ; but neither the original, nor a copy of it. can be
discovered. The reasons for not enlarging the portion of John3
(No. 9) have been successfully concealed. Sibley (Harvard
Graduates, vol. 3, p. 339) says his uncle Joseph2 (No. 4) wished
him to pursue the clerical profession. Much to the scandal and
regret of his uncle, as appears from his will, he became a
"lawyer and politician." In his chosen profession his career
was eminently useful and creditable. He married, first, Oct.

Harvard Socius, S.R. London Soc. A member of the Corpora-
tion of Yale College from 1730 to 1762.

Jared Eliot, the grandson of John, judged in relation to the
men of his time holds next to its illustrious founder the
most distinguished position in the annals of the family. His
immediate ancestry naturally bred the excellence which he so
strikingly exemplified. Joseph Eliot, his father, the second son
of John, had been graduated from Harvard in 1658 and settled
over the church at Guilford, Conn. He was a man of great
piety and of marked intellectual strength, which made him a
power in the councils of the colony. For his second wife
Joseph Eliot married Mary Wyllys, the daughter of Governor
Wyllys and the granddaughter of Governor Haynes ; and it was
from this union that Jared, the eldest child, was born in Guilford,
Nov. 7, 1685.

His father's will had directed that one son should be trained
up to learning and fitted for the ministry. It was in accordance
with this request that Jared was enrolled among the earliest
pupils of the Collegiate School of Connecticut, later to be known
as Yale College, and from this institution he received his
bachelor's degree in 1706. Field in his Statistical Account of
Middlesex County states that his early progress was slow, but
adds : "As he applied himself more and more to study, his mind
improved in quickness of apprehension as well as in strength,
and he at length acquired a greatness and excellence rarely sur-
passed, at least in our country." Before his graduation he had
won the affection and esteem of Rector Abraham Pierson, for
when within the year the venerable man lay upon his death bed,
he earnestly advised his parishioners of the church in Killing-
worth (now Clinton) to call as his successor his favorite pupil,
Eliot. They heeded his counsel, and the church records show
that Eliot "entered and engaged in the ministeriall office in the
church of Killingworth June the 1st, 1707," though he was not
formally ordained until Oct. 26, 1709.

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 41

To accept the call of the Killingworth church he withdrew
from the position of schoolmaster in his native town ; but he
maintained throughout his life a strong interest in educational
matters. In 1730 he was elected a Trustee of Yale College, the
first graduate of the institution to be so honored, and he filled
the position till his death with interest and energy, and in his
will left the first bequest for the development of the library
of that institution. Nor was his interest in education only
objective. He was an indefatigable student and acquired a
broad culture in science and letters, attainments which Harvard
recognized with an honorary A.M., the second on her list, and
which brought him into interesting correspondence and associ-
ation with President Stiles, Bishop Berkeley, and Benjamin
Franklin.

Eliot's ministry in Killingworth covered a period of fifty-six
years. These years were full of service. Ruggles, in the dis-
course preached at his funeral, remarks : "For more than forty
years of the latter part of his life he never missed preaching
some part of every Sabbath either at home or abroad." The
same authority thus defines his theological position : "As he
was sound in the faith, according to the true character of ortho-
doxy, so he was of a truly catholic and Christian spirit in the
exercise of it. Difference in opinion as to religious principles
was no obstruction to a hearty practice of the great law of love,
benevolence, and true goodness to man, to every man ; nor of
Christian charity to the whole household of faith. Them he
received whom he hoped the Lord had received ; abhorring
narrowness, and the mean contractedness of a party spirit, but
heartily loved and freely practiced, in word and behaviour, the
great law of true liberty." This broad catholicity and spirit
of liberty at one time nearly led him into Episcopacy. He had
married in 1710 Hannah, daughter of Samuel Smithson of
Guilford, recently from England and firm in the faith of the
Established Church. Whether this association influenced his
thought, or whether it was a development of his own nature, we
find him in 1722 with Rector Cutler, Tutor Browne and four
others stating to the Trustees of the College that, "Some of
them doubted the validity, and the rest were more fully per-
suaded of the invalidity, of the Presbyterian ordination." The
arguments that followed the declaration satisfied his reason and

42 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

established his orthodoxy ; and in the theological controversies
of later years he took his stand as an Old Light. As a preacher
he sought to impart moral truths rather than theological dogmas,
and his style is one of laconic simplicity without rhetorical
adornment except for the illustrative allusions drawn from his
wealth of learning and experience.

But he was not only a divine, he was a physician as well. Dr.
William H. Welch, Professor of Pathology in the Johns Hopkins
; University, stated in his address on Yale and Medicine at the
Bicentennial of Yale in 1901 : "Of all those who combined the
offices of clergyman and physician, not one, from the foundation
of the American colonies, attained so high distinction as a
physician as Jared Eliot." Thacher, in his American Medical
Biography, remarks : "Eliot was unquestionably the first
physician of his day in Connecticut," and in chronic complaints
"he appears to have been more extensively consulted than any
other physician in New England, frequently visiting every
county of Connecticut, and being often called in Boston and
Newport." He was particularly quick in diagnosis and ingeni-
ously effective in the application of remedies. In addition he
trained so many students in medicine who subsequently attained
distinction that he is commonly called "The father of regular
medical practice in Connecticut."

Distinguished as a divine, eminent as a physician, Eliot was
scarcely less famous in scientific investigation. He discovered
the existence of iron in the dark red sea-sand, and as a result of
successful experiments made America's first contribution to the
science of metallurgy in a tract entitled, "The Art of Making
very good if not the best Iron from black sea Sand." These
investigations won for him by unanimous vote the gold medal
of the London Society of Arts, in 1762. This was not, how-
ever, his first European recognition, for some half dozen years
before he had attained the then unique distinction of unanimous
election as a member of the Royal Society. Another department
of investigation which he assiduously pursued was that of
scientific agriculture. In this he was quite a century ahead of
his time, as is evidenced in the half-dozen tracts which he pub-
lished and subsequently collected in a volume with the title,
"Field Husbandry in New England."

Unlike many a scientific investigator, Eliot was distinctly

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 43

practical. He was preeminently a man of affairs. He utilized
his knowledge. His interest in metallurgy led to large and
profitable investments in the ore-fields of northwestern Con-
necticut. His agricultural experiments he applied to extensive
farming tracts which he had acquired in Killingworth and in
other parts of the colony, with the result, according to Thacher,
that "these (his farms) were generally better cultivated, and
furnished more profits than those of his neighbors." The
attainment of such gratifying results was due primarily to his
indomitable energy. Ruggles tells us : "Idleness was his abhor-
rence ; but every portion of time was filled with action by him.
Perhaps no man, in his day, has slept so little, and done so much,
in so great variety." Thacher adds : "He was very industrious
and methodical, and was peculiarly careful that whatever he
undertook should be well executed."

To strenuous activity and successful accomplishment he
added a rare charm of person and of manner. Well pro-
portioned and of commanding presence, with a countenance
from which a grave dignity did not altogether banish a gentle
kindliness, he merits Ruggles* characterization : "He had a turn
of mind peculiarly adapted for conversation, and happily accom-
modated to the pleasures of a social life. . . . No less agreeably
charming and engaging was his company, accommodated to
every person under every circumstance. Nothing affected,
nothing assuming; it is all nature, and shined with wisdom, so
that perhaps no person ever left his company dissatisfied, or
without being pleased with it." It is no wonder that with a mind
so well trained and actively exercised, with a person so attractive
and a personality so charming he should have elicited from his
friend Benjamin Franklin this affectionate reminiscence in one
of his letters: "I remember with pleasure the cheerful hours I
enjoyed last winter in your company, and I would with all my
heart give any ten of the thick old folios that stand on the
shelves before me, for a little book of the stories you then told
with so much propriety and humor."

His effectiveness in accomplishment, as well as his charm of
manner, remained with him to the end of his long life. He died
in Killingworth (now Clinton) April 22, 1763, in the seventy-
eighth year of his age. He was buried in the village church-
yard. His pastorate was the longest in the history of* the

church; and, to quote from Dexter's Yale Biographies and
Annals: "He had outlived every pastor in the Colony who had
been earlier ordained and all who had been graduated at the
college before him." Here was a life richly lived. Ceaseless
activity and marvelous versatility accomplished fame for him-
self, but what was to him of vastly greater importance, wrought
service for his fellows. [This sketch was prepared by his
descendant, George E. Eliot, Jr.]

ried in 1726 Mary, dau. of John Leete of Guilford, and great-
granddaughter of Wm. Leete, Governor of Connecticut. She
was b. Feb. 28, 1701 ; d. Jan. 12, 1780.

A short account of the Leete ancestry follows :
John Leete of Dodington, Huntingdonshire, England, married
Anna Shute, daughter of Robert Shute, one of the justices of
the King's Bench.

Their son, William Leete, born in Dodington in 1612-13, was
bred to the law and served for a considerable time as clerk in
the Bishop's Court at Cambridge. He came to America with the
Rev. Mr. Whitfield's company, and was one of the signers of
the Plantation Covenant on shipboard June 1, 1639, arriving in
New Haven about July 13. The company settled at Guilford,
where Mr. Leete was clerk of the plantation from 1639 to 1662.
He was one of the four men to whom was entrusted the whole
civil power of the plantation until a church was formed July
19, 1643 (O.S.). At this time he was chosen one of the seven
pillars. He was deputy from Guilford to the General Court till
1650; magistrate from 1651 to 1658; chosen Deputy Governor
of New Haven Colony in 1658, and continued in that office until
he was chosen Governor in 1661, which office he held until the
union with the Connecticut Colony in 1664-5. After the union
he was assistant until 1669, when he was elected Deputy
Governor of the Connecticut Colonv, holding the office until

1676, when he was chosen Governor, keeping the office until
his death, at Hartford, April 16, 1683. He married in England
about 1638, Anna Payne, daughter of Rev. John Payne of
Southhoe. She died Sept. 1, 1668, and was the mother of all
his children. His son John2 Leete (1639-1692) married Mary
Chittenden (1647-1712), dau. of William Chittenden and his
wife Joanna (supposed to have been daughter of Dr. Edmund
Sheaffle of Cranbrook, England, but there is a question on that
point, because of some records lately found). John2 Leete is
said to have been the first white child born in Guilford.

Their son Johns Leete, b. Jan. 4, 1674, d. 1730, married Sarah
Allen, d. Mar. 8, 1712, aged 36. Their daughter Mary, b. Feb.
28, 1701, married Abial Eliot.

1760 to 1770 he was a prominent and influential resident of
Spencer, Mass., where he owned a mansion house and about
440 acres of land, paid the largest taxes, and was much in
public life, filling the most important offices in town. Subse-
quently he resided at Upper Middletown (now Cromwell,
Conn.), where a record of his death is found, and his will,
dated Sept. 21, 1700, is recorded in the Probate Records of
Middletown. He married Mar. 7, 1739, Lydia, daughter of
Jeremiah and Lydia (Rosewell) Atwater, b. Oct. 18, 1715, d.
Jan. 28, 1776. She had been divorced from her first husband,
Dr. Alexander Wolcott, at his request, by whom she had had
three children. A memorial brown stone slab marks her grave
in the old burial ground at Cromwell, Conn., with the inscrip-
tion : "In memory of Mrs. Lydia Eliot, the wife of John Eliot
Esq., who departed this life ^an. 28, A. D. 1776, in the 61st year
of her age."

After the death of his wife Lydia, it is said that John
married Hannah Phelps of Simsbury, Conn. This is not
improbable, as "My wife Hannah" is mentioned in his will.

CHILDREN, ALL BY HIS FIRST WIFE.

41. i. Mary5, b. Jan. 19, 1742; married August 10. 1777, to

John Smith.
The tradition is that Mr. Eliot had four tall and stately
daughters, and that Capt. John Smith selected one of them for
his second wife. One of their daughters was the wife of Jesse
Churchill, and the mother of T. G. and Wm. Elliott Churchill
of New York City.

Leavenworth, colonel in the Revolutionary army, b.

He was first appointed by the Legislature July r, 1775, captain
of the 10th company of the 2d regiment of New Haven. In
1776 he was captain in Colonel Webb's regiment of Conti-
nentals, marched from Boston to New York with Washington,
and under him was engaged in fortifying Brooklyn.

In October of the same year he was engaged at White Plains,
on Dec. 25, 1776, at Trenton, and on Jan. 3, 1777, at Princeton.
At the request of Washington, he remained with his regiment
six weeks after its term of enlistment had expired. On May 27,
1777, he was commissioned major in the 6th Continental Line
Regiment (Colonel Charles Webb), in camp at Peekskill, and
during the summer was with Parsons' Brigade in movements
against Fort Montgomery.

On July 15, 1779, he was with Colonel Meigs' regiment at the
capture of Stony Point; 1777-8 in winter quarters at West
Point, and engaged in construction of Meigs redoubt. Summer
of 1778, encamped at White Plains under command of Wash-
ington; 1778-9, wintered at Camp Redding; summer, engaged
on Hudson; 1779-80, wintered at Morristown.

On the discovery of the treachery of Arnold, Major Leaven-

of his regiment with others, he- retired from the army in the
spring of 1 781.

As Hannah's posterity was not mentioned and Lydia's name
was not included in the O. E. G., the following document, fur-
nished by Mrs. Gilman C. Hill of Waterbury, will be interesting,
as proving the connection of these two lines with the family.

Middletown Land Records, vol. 28, p. 99, records a deed
dated Aug. 30, 1785, from John4 Eliot to his son-in-law, Abel
Porter.

Middletown Probate Records, vol. 5, p. 466, gives will of
John4 Eliot of Middletown, dated Sept. 21, 1790, and probated
Dec. 6 following. In it he states that he had made a jointure
with his wife Hannah before marriage, and mentions his eldest
son John5 and five other children, Richard, Rosewell Eliot, Mary
Smith, Sarah Leavenworth, Hannah Porter and Lydia Ann Lee.

Extract from Connecticut Journal, New Haven :

Wednesday Aug. 13, 1794 speaks of appointing commis-
sioners to receive and examine the estate of Lydia Eliot,
formerly wife to John4 Eliot Esq. which was represented
insolvent, and giving notice to all creditors to present their
claims within six months or they would be debarred a recovery,
(a regular probate notice).

46. vi. William, b. July 29, 1757.

Probably died before Sept. 21, 1790, as his name does not
appear in his father's will of that date. It has been said that he
was a physician.

ried at Westerly, R. I., Feb. 4, 1784, Dr. Daniel Lee.
He is said to have been. the first Washington County (R. I.)
physician. Previous to his time the ministers were the physi-
cians. He died of yellow fever, contracted while visiting a
patient on a vessel from a southern port. His tombstone
recounts that "He was a physician of eminence, a universal
philanthropist, and a friend to the distressed. His death is
greatly lamented by all who knew him." Buried at first in
Westerly, R. I., his remains were removed in 1856 to Grove
street cemetery, New Haven, Conn. The tombstone of his wife

CHILDREN.

48. i. Hannah5, b. Aug. 31, 1746.

She was highly educated, and m. Nov. 23, 1773, Gen. Reuben
Hopkins, b. in Amenia, N. Y., June 1, 1748, son of Stephen
Hopkins, who was born in Hartford. Mr. Hopkins was a
lawyer in Goshen, N. Y., and clerk of the court. He d. in 1819
in Edwardsville, 111. The following notice is taken from the
Edwardsville Spectator, Aug. 17, 1822: "Another Revolu-
tionary hero gone"! Died yesterday morning in this town in
the 75th year of his age, Gen. Reuben Hopkins, formerly of
Orange Co., New York.

General Hopkins was born in Dutchess County, N. Y., in
June, 1748. At the commencement of the Revolution he left
the practice of the law, in which he was engaged, and joined the
army which was contending for freedom, and never ceased to
assert with his sword the rights of man until the independence
of our country was achieved.

At the battle of Bunker Hill he served as adjutant, as well
as at Peeksville and White Plains. Our information is too
limited to give in detail his military career, but that he performed
his duty as a soldier is well authenticated.

At the close of the war he returned to his professional duties,
but not possessing a ready utterance, though distinguished for
sound legal knowledge and discriminating judgment, he accepted
the clerkship of the Circuit Court of Orange County, which he
held for many years.

During the late war (1812) he again appeared in arms at the
call of his country. His conduct on that occasion is attested by
the newspapers of the day to have been highly meritorious.

Besides the military offices which he has held in regular grade
up to that of brigadier-general, he has frequently represented
the citizens of Orange County both in the Senate and the lower
house. But however praiseworthy his patriotic zeal, we have
the satisfaction of recording a fairer trait in his character. He
was a pious, humble Christian. As he was free from that wild
zeal which is "not according to knowledge," so was he free
from fearing to "confess Christ before men." How well his

54 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

life accorded with his profession we need not say. Those who
knew him can bear witness to the constant zeal with which he
strove to adhere to the divine precept. "Whatever ye would
that men should do unto you," etc.

In the last trying scene his mind was calm, for his faith was
bright, his hope was strong. In his own language, "Death had
no terrors, his sting was drawn, he knew in whom he believed."
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."

Soon after her death a book of "Memoirs" was written by Rev. Ben-
jamin Wisner, pastor of the "Old South Church," Boston, which went
through several editions in this country, and several in England and
Scotland. James Montgomery, the poet, wrote an "Introductory Essay"
for the third edition, and an original poem for the same. Some extracts
from the "Memoirs" follow.

"Mrs. Susan Huntington was a daughter of Rev. Achilles Mansfield of
Killingworth (now Clinton) Conn. In this place her father was ordained
in the year 1779 and continued the pastor of the first church until his
death, in 1814. Her mother was Sarah Eliot, daughter of Joseph and
Sarah (Walker) Eliot and granddaughter of Rev. Jared Eliot of Kil-
lingworth, who stood in great esteem throughout the country for his
learning, philosophical researches and acquirements."

"Susan Mansfield was the youngest of three children. Her childhood
was marked by sensibility, sobriety and tenderness of conscience, and a
taste for reading. Her education was chiefly under the paternal roof,
and at the common schools in her native town. The only other instruc-
tion she received was at the classical school kept in Killingworth during
two seasons. Her parents however devoted much of their time and
attention to her instruction, and as her constitution was delicate from
infancy, she was suffered to gratify her inclination in devoting most of
her time to the cultivation of her mind, by reading and efforts at
composition."

"She was married at eighteen years of age to Rev. Joshua Huntington,
a young minister of great promise, who had just been settled as pastor
of the 'Old South Church' of Boston. One of her first letters written
from that place says :

" 'Our ride was very pleasant, I am delighted with the country around
Boston, and think the town is handsomely situated. But, my dear friend,
flattering as is the prospect before us, I cannot contemplate the responsi-
bility of the station in which I am placed, its total dissimilarity to that
to which I have been accustomed, and the arduous duties resulting from
it, together with my own inability to perform them as I ought, without
feeling a degree of anxiety lest I should be found wholly unqualified for
the situation. Did I not believe that the bounds of our habitations are
not accidental, but determined by the Providence of God, I should sink
under the weight of responsibility which now rests upon me.'

"God placed her when young and inexperienced in a most responsible
and difficult station, where her character and conduct would be scruti-
nized by multitudes, where hundreds of her own sex would be looking
to her example for a model to imitate.

"But this was not the only discipline which fitted her for her high
destiny. Though not thirty-three years of age, when herself removed
from this state of trial, most of her connections and early intimate
acquaintances had been taken from her. At the age of twenty-eight she
was written widow. An infant son, born two months after his father's
death, and most tenderly beloved, was taken from her at the age of
twenty months."

She died of consumption in 1823. She married May 18, 1809, Rev.
Joshua Huntington of Boston, who d. Sept. II, 1819. Children:

Beach, a lady of great beauty and many accomplishments.
Their happy married life was of short duration. She died in
1821, her last wish being "Bury me by my child," the infant
whose life was measured by months. Mr. Swift preached for
many years at Killingworth, Conn., and was held in high
esteem by all who knew him. He was a man of superior attain-

1812. After the war he, with his brother Joseph, went with

himself to the American Board as a foreign missionary, but
the Board being unable to send him, his long ministry of almost
fifty years was spent in the cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny.
During his pastorate in Pittsburgh he originated the "Western

exceptional gifts and of rare consecration, and the fruits of
his ministry are being gathered to-day all over the world. He

7. Sabrina Eliot, b. Nov. 2, 1798; d. 1868. Mrs. Sabrina Swift
Logan was a woman of preeminent faith and godliness. She
united with the church at the age of about sixteen years, in
Saybrook, Conn, (now Westbrook). Her prayers, many and
fervent, were presented with unwavering confidence in a
sure answer. Her attachment for God's earthly house was
beautiful, and her place there was never vacant except when
she was providentially hindered from attendance. She loved
the ministry; her home was open to them always and her
hospitality was enlarged greatly. A former pastor says: "I
can never forget the kind, encouraging words in the beginning
of my ministry and I shall always feel that much of my success
in this church was in answer to her effectual, fervent prayers."
Her mould of mind was that of her giant brother Elisha.
She had a sound, discriminating judgment; she thought deeply
before assuming a position. Her laws were principles and the
fear of God. Then she was firm as a rock in maintaining what
she believed to be right. She married in 1826, Major
Joshua Logan, b. 1794 at Dublin, Ireland, d. 1854 at Pittsburgh,
Pa. He was a merchant, but served in the War of 1812, and

CHILDREN.

1. Elisha, b. Aug. 19, 1793, in Litchfield, Conn. [See his portrait
in this volume.]

He graduated at Yale College in 1813, one of the best students in his
class. After several years of teaching in New London, and as tutor at
Yale, he married, Nov. 19, 1819, at Lyme, Conn., Maria Sybil, dau. of
Dr. Elisha North of New London, Conn. Appointed to the chair of
mathematics in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he
entered upon his duties early in 1818.

He had previously been licensed to preach the Gospel, by the Congre-
gational Church in Connecticut, and was ordained to the full work of
the ministry, by Orange Presbytery, N. C, in 1821.

But it was as a professor in the University of North Carolina that he
displayed the greatest energy and accomplished the best results. Until
1825, he was professor of mathematics and natural science, but was then
transferred to the chair of chemistry, mineralogy and geology, which he
occupied until his death in 1857.

During all these years, by indefatigable research, by extended and mul-
tiplied excursions over every part of North Carolina, by various and
patient investigations, aided by a consuming thirst for knowledge, and a
singularly retentive memory, he so ably filled his position, and branched
out in so many directions that, on any scientific question, it was a com-
mon thing to say, "Go, ask Dr. Mitchell."

In the sixty-fourth year of his age, during his fifth visit of exploration
in western North Carolina, he attempted, alone, to descend Mt. Mitchell,
the highest peak of the Black Mountain in North Carolina. Being over-
taken by a sudden thunderstorm, and losing his way the evening of June
27, 1857, he fell forty feet, into a deep pool of a branch of the Caney
River.

As he failed to keep an appointment which he had made, his family
and friends became uneasy, and searching parties were organized, number-
ing at length scores of mountaineers and others, to find the missing one.
After ten days of exhausting search, his body was found, at midnight,
perfectly preserved from decay by the ice-cold waters of the cataract.
Carried down the mountain on the shoulders of relays of men, he was
borne to Asheville, where he was temporarily buried for one year.
Thence, at the earnest request of the citizens of Yancey County and
others, his body was conveyed by ox-sled, and lastly by the strong arms
of men, up the mountain steeps, and through almost impassable rocky
ways, where no road lay, and was reinterred with most impressive cere-
monies, on the summit of the highest point of land east of the Rocky
Mountains, which now bears his name. Here it rests, awaiting a glorious
resurrection.

A monument of "white bronze" twelve feet high was erected over his
grave in 1888. (See illustration.) Children:

CHILDREN.

1. Maria, b. July 19, 1788; d. Apr. 21, 1870, in G.

2. Fitz-Greene, b. July 8, 1790; d. Nov. 19, 1867, in G.

It is difficult to write an estimate of the life and work of Fitz-Greene
Halleck or to explain the charm of the man unless we recall the flavor
of the times he lived in and the names of his contemporaries. The
early part of the nineteenth century following the war of 1812 was
marked by strong literary tendencies. There was a demand for poetry
and belles letters, and it was at the beginning of this epoch, whose
greatest brilliancy was not attained until after the Civil War, that Fitz-
Greene Halleck flourished. The period produced such men as Wash-
ington Irving, Cooper, Charming, Richard H. Dana, N. P. Willis, James
Rodman Drake (author of the "Culprit Fay"), Prescott, Percival, Haw-
thorne, and Bryant, and was the forerunner of the years when Whittier,
Longfellow and Emerson reached the zenith of their fame. In England
Byron and Scott, Dickens and Thackeray were making their great
reputations and Browning and Tennyson were beginning to astonish
the world with their genius. Fitz-Greene's career reads like a romance —
the only link lacking to complete the chain was "the one woman," for
though loving women with delicacy and sentiment and beloved by them
in turn, he lived and died unmarried. He was born in Guilford in
1790, and his earlier as well as his later years were passed in that
historic town. As soon as he was taught to write he took to rhyming
and to reciting pieces. He was a pupil of that period which produced
Gray's Elegy, the Lady of the Lake, and the Pleasures of Hope, and
was a voracious reader of the four hundred volumes the Guilford
Library then possessed. At the age of fifteen he entered the store of
his kinsman. Andrew Eliot, with whom he remained as clerk six years.
He was noted during his whole business life, which lasted till 1850,
for celerity, correctness and courtesy. The long confinement in a
country store did not prevent him from composing many pretty verses,
for "it was his nature to blossom into song as it is a tree's to leaf itself
in April."

When twenty-one years old he left his native village for the wider
life of New York, then a city of ninety thousand people. He entered
the counting house of Jacob Barker, one of the leading bankers of the
town, and began that career which brought him into contact with all
the famous men of his day.

His Life and Letters, edited by James Grant Wilson, are good read-
ing and give a vivid picture of the life of those times. His many
talents and his winning ways soon procured for him a host of friends,
and later his merit as a poet won ready recognition. He was one of
the members of the "Iron Greys," organized in New York in 1814,
and including in its ranks one hundred and twelve of the leading young
men of New York; also a charter member of the "Ugly Club," a
convivial club composed of very handsome young men and of which
he was "poet laureate" ; he took part in all the best social life of

So DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

the period. Later in life the poet remarked that in those days his
New Year's calls were with a single exception made below Canal
street, the exception being Mrs. Stuyvesant, whose residence was so
remote (the present Stuyvesant Square) that a carriage was always
taken to go there. One of his lodging houses was 29 Wall street.
A letter written home in 1816 describes a trip he took to Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington and Mt. Vernon. In March, 1819, "The
Croakers" first appeared, a series of satirical and quaint chronicles on
people and things of local interest written in rhyme and anonymously
contributed to the New York Evening Post. This was the joint pro-
duction of Halleck and Drake. Next "Fanny," and in 1827 "Alnwick
Castle and other Poems," comprising all of Halleck's published work
up to that time, was printed in a single volume. "Marco Bozzaris," of
which James Grant Wilson said in 1869, "no finer martial lyric has been
produced" and of which the then Greek minister said, "It is the link
between America and Greece," was written in 1823, after a visit to
Europe, which included travels in Great Britain, France, Switzerland,
and Germany. It was tossed off one day and left at the lodgings of
a friend to whom he was accustomed to show his poetic work with
the simple question, "Will this do?"

It was first published in the New York Review and attained instant
popularity, yet so unconscious was the writer of its real merit that his
own family did not know of it till several years later. It has been
translated into many languages besides the Greek, and is possibly the
best known lyric of that period.

In 1837 an Authors Club was formed in New York, of which
Washington Irving was president and Fitz-Greene Halleck vice presi-
dent. He became well acquainted with Dickens during his first visit
to America, also with Prince Louis Napoleon and Lafayette, Thackeray,
the Keans, Macready, and every man of distinction of the time. He
was one of the most popular "diners out" in New York. In 1837
Columbia College conferred on him the title of A.M. After he left
the service of Jacob Barker, when the latter retired about 1831, he
became confidential secretary to John Jacob Astor, and when John
Jacob died in 1848 he left the poet a legacy of forty pounds a year.
This with the royalties derived from the sale of his poems gave him
a comfortable if not a large income for the rest of his days. Wilson
says hfs literary labors brought him in altogether only seventeen
thousand five hundred dollars ! He spent the last fifteen years of his
life in dear old Guilford with his sister, making frequent visits to
New York at first, but becoming more and more fond of privacy and
solitude. His work appeared only a few times during the last years
when he gave us "Connecticut" and "Young America," but they added
little to his fame.

The writer of this sketch has in her possession a copy of "Young
America" with his name written on the flyleaf, which he gave her as
a child, and she well remembers his white beard, his kindly, twinkling
blue eyes, his courtly bow and the great reverence with which she

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 8 1

regarded him. The relation between his sister and himself was most
tender and pathetic. She gave the intimate feminine touch to his life
and followed him to the grave. A beautiful shaft in Alderbrook Ceme-
tery, Guilford, marks his consecrated resting place.

An estimate of the poet is difficult to frame. We feel the charm
but cannot analyze it. Halleck did not belong to the school of rapid
writers nor did he belong to the prolific school who write too much.
Twenty years nearly covers the period of his literary productiveness.
He excels in playful humor, light satire and tender sentiment. In an
article written about him Bryant the poet says : "In the midst of a
strain of harmonious diction he surprises by a a stroke of ridicule
. . . " "He venerates the past and laughs at the present . . ."
"His poetry is remarkable for the melody of its numbers, it is con-
structed to please an ear naturally fine . . ." "In no poet can be
found passages which flow with more sweet and liquid smoothness."
. . . Poe wrote of him, "There is something, too, in the bonhommie
of certain of his compositions altogether distinct from poetic merit,
which has aided to establish him, and much also must be admitted on
the score of his personal popularity which is deservedly great."

"With all allowances, however, there will still be found a large amount
of poetical fame to which he is entitled."

For grace, natural wit, refinement of fancy, and that delicate handling
which is called true art, we may among all the poets of the first forty
years of the nineteenth century award the palm to Halleck.

Wilson says, "Is it too much to say of Halleck as he said of Burns" :

"There have been loftier themes than his
And longer scrolls and louder lyres
And lays lit up with Poesy's
Purer and holier fires.

Yet read the names that know not death,
Few nobler ones than his are there
And few have won a greener wreath
Than that which binds his hair."

119. v. Harvey5, b. Nov. 23, 1784, at North Guilford, Conn.;

d. Feb. 3, 1824.
He was prepared for Yale College by his kinsman, the Rev.
John Eliot of East Guilford, Conn., from which he graduated in
1805. After leaving college he kept private schools in New
Rochelle and Mamaroneck, N. Y., at the same time pursuing
medical studies. At first he practised his profession by the
authority of a license from the State of New Jersey. In 1817
he received the degree of M.D. from the College of Physicians
and Surgeons of New York City. He was the leading physician
in Harlem and the adjacent country on Manhattan Island and
in Westchester Co., N. Y. He was buried in Harlem, where
his gravestone recounted that "he enjoyed the confidence and
esteem of a large and respectable community, by whom his loss
is deeply regretted." In 1867 his remains were removed to his
native parish of North Guilford. By his will he left a valuable
library and surgical instruments to the first of his nephews who,
having graduated in the art, should become a physician. These
were inherited by Dr. Ellsworth Eliot of New York City.

42. JOHN5 (John4, John3, John2, John1). He is said to have
been educated at either Yale or Harvard, to have entered the
ministry, and to have taught school in New Haven when young.
The Connecticut Journal (New Haven, Conn.) of March 31,
1808, has this, under the heading of deaths: "At the Alms
House in this city, John Eliot, aged 63, descended from a
respectable and opulent family in this city, and well known in
most parts of the country for his perambulating and wandering
disposition." From this, and other facts in his life which have
come down to us, he would in our time unquestionably be pro-

nounced insane, although then not so considered. His marriage,
Jan. 21, 1795, was thus announced in the Connecticut Journal :
"Entered into the connubial circle, Mr. John Eliot, late an
instructor of youth in New Haven, with Mrs. Sarah Harlow of
Branford." In regard to Mrs. Harlow, the Connecticut Journal,
April 22, 1802, contains an interesting obituary sketch, "Died
in her Mansion house in North Branford, Mrs. Sarah Eliot, by
some called Mrs. Harlow, on the 7th inst. She was found dead
in her bed about seven o'clock in the morning, the particular
cause being unknown, aged sixty-one years. She was a woman
whose fortitude and resolution had been thoroughly tried, by a
long series of bodily pains and infirmities, and whose philan-
thropy, generosity, integrity, and honesty, were generally and
happily experienced, and always well known, by her numerous
acquaintance."

44. RICHARD ROSEWELL5 (/ok4, /ok3, /oAn2, /o/m1) He
was a minister at Watertown, Mass. He was graduated at
Harvard Coll. in 1774. After leaving college he taught school
at Woodstock, Conn., and studied divinity under Rev. Mr.
Leonard of that place. In 1779 he was appointed a tutor in
Harvard College, and held that office until he received a call
to Watertown, March 13, 1780. He was ordained June 21.

His published writings are as follows : "A Discourse delivered
at Athol, at the consecration of a Lodge, Oct. 13, 1803" ; "A
Discourse delivered at Dedham, at the consecration of Constella-
tion Lodge, Oct. 19, 1803" ; "Two Sermons preached at Water-
town, Sept. 30, and Oct. 7, 1810" ; "Two Sermons preached at
Watertown, Sept. 22, 1816."

He married at Lyme, Conn., Oct. 5, 1780, Catherine Johnson.

The Stanton House, Clinton, Conn.

At the venerable homestead of John A. Stanton and Lewis Eliot
Stanton, in the center of Clinton, Conn., and completed by their grand-
father in 1791, may be found a large collection of antique furniture,
pottery, porcelains and other works of art, illustrating early New
England life.

The Court Cupboard here shown is entirely of oak, no metals used
in construction, everything pinned with wooden pegs, all work hand-
made, and carved from riven timber, before the day of saw mills, the
workmanship fine, and the cupboard probably made about 1670.

The Corner China Closet was built into the mansion in 1791, and
with the variety of wares exposed, presents an attractive feature.

This house stands upon the former home lot of Rev. Abraham Pierson,
the second pastor of the church in Killingworth, Conn., now Clinton.
He was the first Rector of "ye College in Connecticut." In his house
at this place, the earliest senior classes of the college, afterwards named
Yale College, were instructed by him from 1701 to 1707. Adam Stanton
bought the property in 1791, while the rector's house was still standing,
and took it down and placed part of the great oak timbers, a foot
square, in the foundation of the chimney of his new house. They are
there to-day, with solid mouldings worked upon the corners, odd
mortices, bored pinholes and framing marks, the timbers nearly black
with age, but still in fairly good condition. In the year 1868 a monu-
ment to mark this location was erected near it, by the college authorities,
and completed by the late Gen. Wm: S. Pierson of Windsor, Conn.

CHILDREN.

i. Charles Goodwin, b. Apr. 27, 1826, at Guilford, Conn. ; d. Mar.
8, 1889, at Allston, Mass.

Having gained an excellent place as school teacher, he ended a most
successful career as Master of the Gaston School, South Boston, which
position he held for more than a quarter of a century. His school-
boy days were spent in preparing for Yale College, and for the life of
a lawyer. He was known as a thorough, accurate scholar. Adverse
circumstances compelled a change of plan, and without at first giving up
hope for a college education, he began his career as a teacher in the
central district school in North Guilford. In subsequent years he was
at the head of schools, in Elizabethport, and Newark, N. J., and in New
Haven, Conn.

As a student and teacher in the Normal School of Connecticut, under
John D. Philbrick, LL.D., he increased his equipment for a higher
position. He was wanted as a public school teacher in Boston, where
at first he was sub-master in the Bigelow School, and soon master,
then he was master in the Lincoln School, and when the Gaston
School was organized, he became its Principal.

The memorial tributes at his funeral in Allston, Mass., where he
resided, before "an audience of teachers and friends, such as has been
rarely gathered hereabouts," bore abundant testimony to his superiority
as a teacher, and his worth as a man. The Head Master of the
Normal School characterized him as "one of God's noblemen." After

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 105

speaking of his great efforts to magnify the office of a teacher, he
adds, "As a result, he grew in wisdom, power, and influence, till
the day of his death."

The Master of the Emerson School said : "He was ambitious to make
his own school the best possible, but he was not contented to stop
there. All over the city, youths and maidens, men and women in
the prime of life, fathers and mothers, rise up and call him blessed.
They remember with grateful hearts, his kind care, his fatherly counsels,
and his faithful teaching."

The Master of Dwight School remarked, that when depressed,
Clark's "lambent wit and happy humor would restore him" to his
normal condition. And then he adds, "Endowed by nature with per-
sonal presentability, gifted with a charming power of statement, and a
gracious manner, what wonder that our hearts went out to him."

Other acquaintances were not lacking in words of praise.

CHILDREN.

i. Charles, b. Oct. 12, 1844, at Albany, N. Y.

Charles King, the military hero and well known story-teller, is surely
a figure of which any family may be proud. Those who know him
say that one discerns in him the best traits of character in the bravest
heroes which he has pictured.

His great-grandfather on his father's side was Rufus King, signer
of the Declaration of Independence, one of the shapers of destiny
of New York State at that period, twice United States Minister to
England.

His grandfather, Charles King, was one of the early presidents of
Columbia College, a scholar of noble attainments. His father's fine
career is noted above.

Charles was a lad at school in New York when the war of the
Rebellion began. The guns of Fort Sumter fired his soldier's blood — he
made his way to Washington and became drummer boy to the Wisconsin
Volunteers and busily engaged in teaching the art to others. He was
promoted to the post of mounted orderly, and in time, in 1862, when his
abilities were recognized, was given a cadetship at West Point by
President Lincoln. After his graduation he was removed in succession
to posts at New Orleans, Fort Hamilton, and in 1871 to Arizona.

In New Orleans he met the lady who became his wife, Miss Yorke,
the daughter of a southern gentleman. In his fights with the Apaches
he displayed that coolness and recklessness and indifference to danger

which have made of him the ideal leader. He was seriously disabled in
the historic fight at "Sunset Pass" in Nov. 1874, but recovered suffi-
ciently to take part in the Big Horn and Yellowstone expeditions and
later, in the Nez Perces campaign. By this time, 1878, he was Captain,
but the old wound in the right arm giving him serious trouble, he
retired from the service and returned to Wisconsin, where he became
instructor in military matters in the Madison University and Colonel
and Aide-de-Camp in the State military organizations. In 1895 he
was appointed Adjutant General of Wisconsin. After this we are
not surprised to know that when the war with Spain broke out he
was ready to go. Renewed health enabled him to respond to his
country's call and he accepted the post of Brigadier General of Volun-
teers. He left for the Philippines June 1898, where he commanded
the men of the First Washington, First California, and First Idaho.
But he counted too much on his health, and after a series of exciting
adventures, was forced to retire in Aug. 1899; not, however, until he
had done such signal service to his country and shown such conspicuous
bravery that he was recommended for promotion, in March 1899, to the
position of Major General of Volunteers.

Since his last two experiences he has devoted himself to the writing
of stories and magazine articles, which he turns off in rapid succession,
having accumulated the material during his active and eventful life.
"Between the Lines" and the "General's Double" are his favorite
stories. His first book "Kitty's Conquest" was written in the seventies.
"The Colonel's Daughter" appeared in 1881. The writer of this sketch
having asked him for a list of his books, he replied: "I have written
forty-five books — forty more than I would have written if — ; don't ask
me for their names !" He married Nov. 20, 1872, at Avoca Plantation,
Carroll Parish, La., Adelaide L. Yorke.

Dr. Elliott is thus described by the Rev. Dr. John Todd :
"He was a tall, very thin and slim man. His legs, always
dressed in black stockings and small clothes, seemed too slender
to hold him up. How neatly he was always dressed — not a
spot or wrinkle on his garments ! What a broad-brimmed hat

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 113

he wore — renewed just once in two years. His manner and
bearing were most gentlemanly. He was a fine scholar, a
genuine lover of study, a capital preacher, a wise and shrewd
man, never trying to be rich or known, but well-known, and all
his life long he received the enormous salary of four hundred
dollars a year. He was the life and soul of the village library,
and ready for every good work. How we boys and girls were
wont to look upon him with awe and reverence, unable to
believe that the common frailties of human nature hung about
him ! I never dared to enter his front door till I had been a
member of college a year or two. I have never since met the
minister who seemed to me so great."

One instance of his wise foresight was the establishment of
the Ministerial Fund in Madison, Conn.

Prior to 1818 the institutions of the Gospel were supported
by taxing all the inhabitants within the bounds of a society.
By a provision of the constitution then adopted, the support of
religion was made entirely voluntary. Dr. Elliott was so appre-
hensive of the failure of this plan that he determined a minis-
terial fund should be raised for the benefit of the church and
society. It should be kept at interest until it amounted to
$10,000. It became available in 1855. In 1901 it amounted to
about $12,000.

Dr. Elliott's grave is surrounded by the graves of those to
whom he ministered. It is marked by an obelisk, upon which
is inscribed :

Sacred

Rev'd John Elliott D.D.

Fellow of Yale College &

Society in this place.

After having faithfully discha-

-rged the duties of the ministry

33 years, he died Dec. 17, 1824

After his death, his widow returned to her native Salisbury,
Conn., and married again. The inscription upon her grave-
stone shows the pride she felt in her first husband.

In the Reports of the Treasurer of Yale University, in the
List of the Funds of the Theological Department, is the
"Elliott Fund." This fund amounted in 1901 to $1,780.80.

The origin of this fund was as follows: "Rev. John Elliott
of Madison, Conn, (formerly called East Guilford), bequeathed
to the College 'The Neck Lot,' subject to two conditions:
i. That the lot should be sold and the proceeds used for the
benefit of the Theological Department, ii. That the interest
should be spent for books except one per cent which should be
added to the permanent fund." One of these days it will
amount to "something handsome."

In the Catalogue of Relics exhibited at the 250th anniversary
of the settlement of Guilford, Conn., Sept. 8th, 9th and 10th,
1889, is :

"Profile Picture of Rev. Dr. John Elliott and wife, taken

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 12 1

CHILD,
i. Charles Elliott, b. Nov. 24, 1840.

Charles Elliott, for twenty years president of the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railroad, is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, and on both
the paternal and maternal sides is descended from ancestors who were
of old Puritan stock, and were prominently identified with the early
history of the New England colonies. The first family to settle in
America was Edmund Perkins, who emigrated from England in 1650,
and was a member of the Salem Colony of Massachusetts, and from
him descended a line of ancestors of the Perkins family, who have
ever been distinguished, not only in the New England States, but in
the western country, in which many of them subsequently made their
homes. Our subject takes his middle name from his mother's family,
the Eliots, who were no less distinguished in the early annals of New
England. Their first ancestor also landed in Massachusetts, but the
family afterward removed to Connecticut.

Charles E. Perkins was educated in Cincinnati, Ohio, until sixteen
years of age, when he engaged as clerk in a store, where he learned
practical bookkeeping and business methods. After some years' service
in that line, he came to Burlington, Iowa, in August, 1859, and was
given a clerkship in the office of Charles R. Lowell, the assistant treas-
urer of the Burlington & Missouri Railroad, at the munificent salary of
$30 a month. He was soon made paymaster under Mr. Lowell, and
filled that position until late in the autumn of i860, when Mr. Lowell,
having accepted the position of manager of the Mt. Savage Iron Works,
at Cumberland, Md., left the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad
service, and Mr. Perkins, who was only twenty years of age, was
promoted to the office of assistant treasurer.

Until January, 1865, Mr. Perkins continued to serve as assistant
treasurer, when Hans Thielsen (the superintendent of the road at that
time) was called to Nebraska to serve as chief engineer in making a
survey of the road to be built from Plattsmouth to Kearney Junction,
and Mr. Perkins was made acting superintendent, to fill the vacancy.
Some months later, it having been determined to extend the Burlington
& Missouri River Railroad to the Missouri River, and that Mr. Thielsen
was to devote his attention to that part of the work, Mr. Perkins was
promoted to be superintendent of the road, which at that time extended
only from Burlington to Ottumwa, a distance of seventy-five miles.
During the period of construction of the road through to the Missouri
River, he served both as superintendent and vice president. In the
meantime he had been active in promoting the organization of the Bur-
lington & Missouri River Railroad Company in Nebraska, of which he
was one of the incorporators and a member of the first board of
directors, being chosen to that position October 28, 1869. On the 26th
day of July, 1871, he was elected a director of the Burlington &
Missouri River Railroad Company in Iowa; the Nebraska road was
opened through to Kearney Junction in the summer of 1872, and

November 4th of that year Mr. Perkins was chosen vice president of
that company. Upon the consolidation of the Burlington & Missouri
River Railroad Company of Iowa with the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad of Illinois, on January 1, 1873, he was deprived of
his official connection with the former company through the changed
condition of affairs. On the 2d of April, 1875, Mr. Perkins was chosen
a member of the board of directors of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad, then owning and operating the original road in Illinois and
the newly acquired extension in Iowa; and on the 2d day of March,
1876, he was elected vice president of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Company, still retaining the vice presidency and general management
of the road west of the Missouri River. On the 5th day of May he
was elected president of the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad
in Iowa ; and on the first day of January, 1880, the Burlington &
Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska became consolidated with the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, throwing the whole under
one corporate management, Mr. Perkins remaining as vice president
until September 29, 1881, when he was chosen president. He has been
re-elected at each succeeding election, and is now serving his eighteenth
year in that capacity. Mr. Perkins is also officially connected with
several other railroad corporations which are connected with the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad, and is director and president of the
Hannibal & St. Joseph and the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs
Railroads, the two named being maintained as distinct and separate
corporations.

When Mr. Perkins first came to Burlington, nearly thirty years ago,
in August, 1859, he was not quite nineteen years of age, so that it may
be said of him that he began his connection with the important
corporation of which he is now chief executive officer, or rather with
a constituent part of it, while but a boy, and that he has earned and
won, by superior executive ability, energy and fidelity to the trust
reposed in him, an honorable promotion through all the grades of ser-
vice, from that of a clerk in the treasurer's office to his present
prominent and responsible position, as chief executive officer of one
of athe greatest railway systems of the country.

It may be an item of interest to make some mention of the places
of abode and the manner of Mr. Perkins' way of living in his early
days in Burlington. He first made his home with Mr. Lowell and
Leo Carper, both of whom were connected with the railway company.
They lived together in what was known as Patterson's hollow, now
Agency street, until the fall of i860, when they removed to Shepard
Leffler's farm, now West Burlington. Mr. Lowell had taken a lease
of Mr. Leffler's farm and house, which he transferred to Mr. Perkins
when he left Burlington for Mt. Savage. The following spring (1861)
Mr. Perkins succeeded in getting Mr. Leffier to take the farm off his
hands and thus escaped becoming a granger. He then returned to the
city, and for a while boarded at the Barrett House, and later with
Mrs. Fletcher, on North Hill, in the house owned and occupied by

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 12 3

R. M. Raab. Remaining there until the fall of 1862, Mr. Perkins then
rented a house on South Hill, of Mr. Nelson Dills, which he afterwards
purchased, and in which he now resides. There were originally sixty
acres in the place, but he has sold off several tracts until he now has
but twenty acres, which, with the commodious residence, beautiful groves
and lawns, makes an elegant and pleasant suburban home. At the
time of his marriage, in the autumn of 1864, he established his residence
on the place now owned by Mrs. Erastus Chamberlain on North Hill,
remaining there until the spring of 1867, when he sold to Mr. Chamber-
lain, and purchased the Dills farm, to which he removed at once.
While Mr. Perkins and his family spend some months each year in
Boston, Burlington is their home.

Mr. Perkins is a republican in his political sentiments, but is not
in any sense a politician. His important business relations, both private
and official, leave him no time, even were he so disposed, to win promi-
nence in the political arena. As a rule, large corporations recognize
superior ability and integrity of character in their employes, and reward
true merit with promotion, and while the motive on the part of the
corporation may be purely selfish, the success of the individual officer
is none the less creditable. This is well illustrated in the career of
Mr. Perkins in Burlington. Beginning before reaching his majority as
a clerk at $30 per month, he has steadily risen through all the grades.

For many graces of person and disposition she was known as
"the prettiest lady in Northford," and was teacher in the village
school, when few women essayed such a position. That she was
well educated and accomplished much in advance of the woman
of her time is proven by her letters, still preserved by some of
her descendants.

243. iii. Gustavus Rose6, b. July 5, 1822 ; d. Nov. 25, 1869.

His youth and early manhood were spent at home, and
devoted to the care of his mother, who was for many years an
invalid. He managed, however, to secure a thorough education,
and developed fine literary taste. He studied law at home,
driving many miles to New Haven for recitations and exami-
nations, which he passed with honors. He received the degree
of Bachelor of Laws from Yale College in 1858.

He spent some years in England as the American representa-
tive of a manufacturing business in which he had become
interested. Upon his return to this country he settled in New
Haven and pursued the practice of law until his death.

In personal appearance he was to an unusual degree of marked
Eliot type. Over six feet in height, but well proportioned, with
fine complexion, dark hair, straight nose, and a steady blue gray
eye that bespoke great reserve power, he impressed all who
met him as a man of distinct character and ability. Upon his
decease, resolutions of respect were passed by the members of
the New Haven County Bar.

He married, Apr. 9, 1863, Josephine W., daughter of Dr.
Sheldon C. and Hannah (Stoddard) Johnson of Seymour,
Conn. She was born Oct. .10, 1838; d. Oct. 22, 1900, and is

"Mrs. Wm. H. Beers ("Ethel Lynn"), whose new volume, "All Quiet
Along the Potomac, and Other Poems," had just been published, died a
few days ago in Orange, N. J. She was for many years a valued con-
tributor to the New York Ledger. She possessed an uncommonly
cheerful and sunny nature, but even in her cheerfulness she was subject
to strange premonitions, one of which was that as soon as she printed her
poems she should die." — New York Ledger, Nov. 15, 1879.

Extract from a sermon delivered at a service in memory of
Mrs. Beers :

"On both sides her ancestors were of Puritan stock and remarkable for
their strong religious convictions. This fact had a ruling influence over
the life of our sister. Who can tell what a power on human destiny is
the entail of a moral character embalmed in records of heroic deeds. 'A
good man leaveth an inheritance unto his children's children.' There is
force in the purpose not to dishonor our shield.

Mrs. Beers was especially fond of tracing her pedigree back to Eliot
the Indian Apostle, whose Bible now untranslatable by mortal man ( ?)
lies on the shelves of Cambridge, and whose wonderful success in the
conversion of the Natick Indians was celebrated in that famous letter
written by the first President of the College to Dr. Leusden of Utrecht— a
letter translated into five different languages, and of which it was said,

'It affords great consolation to all souls who thirst after holiness and are
inflamed with a zeal for the glory of God.'

In one of her poems Mrs. Beers describes John Eliot as he stood on the
quarter deck of the good ship 'Lyon' at the moment when she dropped
her anchor in the Boston harbor :

' He did not know

He saw his kingdom stretched before him ;

His crown beneath New England's snow.

Ah ! how my pulse leaps to remember

More than two hundred years have gone

And still within this wrist-vein purple,

That blessed Pilgrim blood flows on.'

That his blood did flow on in the veins of that delicate wrist is evident
from what Cotton Mather says in his Magnalia : 'He that will write of
Eliot must write of charity or else say nothing. His charity was a star
of the first magnitude in the bright constellation of his virtues. With
marvellous alacrity did he embrace every opportunity of relieving others.
He could not persuade himself that he had anything but what he gave
away. He had a heart full of good wishes and a mouth full of kind
blessings for all.' These words, written 200 years ago, are as applicable
to many of his descendants, as they were to the man of God of whom
they were penned.

From her girlhood Mrs. Beers drew attention for more than ordinary
powers of composition. When in school her teacher felt great pride in
her. At one time, when a prize had been offered to the first class, this
teacher found herself obliged to say, 'I cannot give the prize to any
among you, for that child there upon the lowest form has done far
better.'

In later life this talent displayed itself in the increasing value and
beauty of her poetic productions, the collections of which — what she her-
self so modestly calls, 'a handful of white clover and daisies' — fixes her
name on the permanent list of American authors.

Mrs. Beers cherished the warmest attachment to all the people of God.
Especially was her church relation most sacred. The sweetest spiritual
experiences of her life were enjoyed in our assemblies. From the first
she was indefatigable and untiring in her efforts to build up this church.
Never pastor had more devoted communicant. Her seat was near the
pulpit. Always was her pleasant, thoughtful face turned upward toward
the speaker. Always was felt that silent sympathy that knits one to an
appreciative listener. Always some kind word or tender personal inquiry
followed, with a warm handshake, the service.

Nor was she only the churchwoman. She was the private friend as
well. Admirably did she merit the epithet of the good neighbor. A dear
brother said to me on the ferry-boat but a day or two ago, 'When my
dead baby was sick, she came in at dusk, took the child in her arms, and
held it till daybreak.' Said another, bursting into tears, 'She has been
a mother to me ever since I came to this town.' "

From the New Englander, New Haven, Conn., Mar. 1880:
"All quiet along the Potomac." The first line of the little poem
which has been given as a title to this whole collection, will recall to the
minds of many one of the most affecting of the shorter poems which
were inspired by the sad events of the Civil War, near twenty years ago.
But these are not the only lines which will be recognized as familiar. In
the days when the thoughts of all were daily following the blue coats
in the far distant field, there were few who read "Company K." or
"On the Shores of Tennessee" without emotion. Few can read them
now unmoved. The author, "Ethel Lynn Beers," has not neglected
during all these subsequent years the talent of which she gave then such
satisfactory proof, and in these pages will be found the evidence of a
poetic insight, and a skill of versification on other themes, which make the
collection one of far more than ordinary interest.

Her publications were "General Frankie," a story for little
folks; i2mo, pp. 149; "The Burnt Overcoat," 121110, pp. 70;
"All Quiet Along the Potomac, and Other Poems," published
in 1879 ; i2mo, pp. 352.

In 1864 a book was published in New York entitled "A Selec-
tion of War Lyrics," with illustrations on wood by F. O. C.
Darley. Of the seven poems deemed worthy of a place in this
publication, two are by Mrs. Beers, "All Quiet Along the
Potomac" and "On the Shores of Tennessee."

George early left the parental roof to seek a wider field for their
energies. He became a merchant in New Haven, and during
the forty years of an active business career gained a high repu-
tation for tact, shrewdness and general business ability. He
constantly gave assistance to others less fortunate than him-
self, even before his own success was established, and accumu-
lated what in those days was considered a "snug fortune."
He retired from his regular business in 1840 and later invested
in manufacturing and other enterprises, "taking his chances"
and making or losing largely, as the case might be. He

remarked late in life that if, on retiring from business, he had
invested his capital at a low rate of interest and let it accumu-
late, he would have been a much richer man. But such a
conservative course would have suited neither his inclination
nor his instincts. In our day he would have been called a
"self-made" and a "public-spirited" man, ever ready to serve
his community. He was the first president of -the New Haven
County Bank, which he piloted through the financial depression
of 1836-7, and was one of three gentlemen who, during the
same period, backed the construction of the New Haven &
Hartford Railroad.

He was a vestryman in Trinity Church in 1836 and was
actively identified with the founding of St. Paul's Church.

Mr. Eliot was a handsome man. Also his brothers George
and Charles were handsome, well-made men — all three tall, with
dark hair and blue eyes. His granddaughter well remembers
the fine appearance he created as he rode through the streets in
his open carriage, then called a "barouche," behind two high-
stepping horses and a liveried coachman, — the pleasant smile
and the courtly bow as he greeted his friends. It was a glimpse
of a generation of whom, alas ! barely a trace now remains.

He married first, May 16, 1809, Mary, daughter of William
Law, Esq., of Cheshire, and great-granddaughter of Hon.
Jonathan Law, Governor of Connecticut. (See No. 16.) She
was b. Sept. 10, 1785 ; d. Feb. 2, 1828. He married second,
Aug. 31, 1829, Hannah, daughter of Daniel Hubbard, Esq., of
Guilford, and widow of Timothy Stone, Esq., of Guilford. She
was b. Feb. 16, 1797; d. Dec. 24, 1851.

life. Just to be good: to keep life pure from degrading
elements, to make it constantly helpful in little ways to those

as noble as it is difficult."

234. CHARLES WYLLYS8 (Andrew5, Wyllys\ Abial3, Joseph2,
John1). After a boyhood spent in Guilford, he went to New
York about 1835, where he worked as a clerk until 1838-9, when
he took up the study of horticulture and landscape gardening
with A. J. Downing at Newburgh, N. Y. After an apprentice-
ship with Mr. Downing, he went to Cincinnati in 1840. Here
were living his sister, Elizabeth, married to Samuel E. Foote,
and his youngest sister, Sarah, married to Reverend James H.
Perkins ; and through their influence he selected Cincinnati as
a place in which to practice his profession. He remained there

160 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

until 1848, when he returned to New York and went into busi-
ness again.

Commercial life, however, never had much attraction for him,
for his great interest was in nature, and in the great questions
of the day that were discussed so much a few years before the
war.

His principal friends were men outside of commercial life,
like Mr. Charles Loring Brace, with whom he was associated
in founding the Children's Aid Society in 1853, of which he was
one of the first trustees. Among his closest friends were Mr.
Frederic Law Olmsted, the famous landscape gardener, and
Mr. Calvert Vaux, the architect, and in 1857 he was appointed
one of the original commissioners for laying out Central Park
in the city of New York.

His association with this type of men brought him in contact
with prominent New England people, and at Cambridge, Mass.,
where Mr. James Russell Lowell and Dr. Estes Howe were
living, he met his future wife, the sister of Mrs. Lowell and Mrs.
Howe. They were married at Cambridge and lived in New
York and New Haven until 1869. Three children were born to
them. All, except Howard, died young.

While living in New York he was engaged in commercial
business, but was always more interested in literary and artistic
pursuits, and wrote much, and was associated with newspaper
and literary men.

In 1869 he and Mrs. Elliott and the boy Howard went to
England for something over a year. For some time he had been
much interested in the general question of improving the type
of the American home, and in the movement that was under
way in England under Eastlake. On his return from England
in 1870, he established in Boston the Household Art Company,
which paid particular attention to more sensible and artistic home
fitting and furnishing.

In 1873-4 his health failed somewhat, and he went abroad
again, partly on business and partly for rest.

He lived in Cambridge, Mass., until about 1879, interested in
the Household Art Company, and in literary matters, giving
some lectures, — one course before the Lowell Institute.

His health not being good, he spent considerable time, from
1878 until the time of his death, in the west, where he had inter-

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. l6l

ests in both Nebraska and Kansas in cattle and sheep, making
his headquarters while in the west at Ashland, Neb.

While on a visit to Guilford in the summer of 1883, he passed
away suddenly and peacefully on August 23, about ten o'clock
in the evening.

As a young man Mr. Elliott was very spirited and handsome,
and to the end of his life was a very fine looking man. He was
versatile, brilliant in conversation, full of anecdote, with much
personal magnetism, and extremely fond of people, especially
children. The beauties of nature appealed to him, and for recre-
ation he used to sketch and paint.

He wrote muth all through his life, and the following is a
statement of his principal works :

"Cottages and Cottage Life, Containing Plans for Country Houses."
Cincinnati and New York, 1848. Illustrated. 8vo, cloth, pp. 226.

"The Book of American Interiors," prepared from existing houses.
Illustrated. Boston. 1876. Quarto, pp. 235.

"Pottery and Porcelain." 1878. 8vo, pp. 358.

In addition to the above, he wrote innumerable articles for
magazines and newspapers, the largest and most valuable col-
lection being in "Putnam's" Magazine, and the "Galaxy,"
both published years ago in New York City.

He married, July 25, 1855, Mary Green White, daughter of
Abijah and Ann Maria (Howard) White. She was born at
Watertown, Mass., Dec. 29, 1826.

ix, p. 158, says of her: "Among the soloists of the Handel and
Haydn Society (Boston) was one who has hardly been excelled
since, and who gave the greatest delight. This was Anna Stone,
a Boston girl, who in oratorio would be to-day the peer of any
female vocalist.

To have heard her sing T Know that my Redeemer Liveth,'
and 'Let the Bright Seraphim,' the latter accompanied by a
trumpet, by John Bartlett, I feel even now to have been a great
privilege. Miss Stone was a tall, pale girl, with brilliant eyes,
and as she sang, she seemed transfigured by the spirit of the
music she was rendering."

, WILLIAM SIDNEY7 (William IV. \ Samuel S.\ Aaron1,
Jared3, Joseph2, John1) was born in North Hampton, Mont-
gomery Co., N. Y. In 1819 his parents removed to Ballston
Spa, New York, and remained there till 1836. In 1833 he
became school teacher in Rochester in a free school supported
by General Riley. At this time the slavery agitation was the
question of the day. The first anti-slavery convention ever
held in New York State met in 1835 at Utica, and Mr. Elliott
was a delegate to that meeting. After this he became fully
imbued with the idea that the great West was the place for the
full fruition of free thoughts and actions and where the death
of slavery would be worked out. He soon after removed to
Michigan, locating at Niles. Here he became familiar with
the fact that the negroes were helping themselves to freedom,
and he lent a helping hand on every opportunity, so that two
hundred escaped bondsmen via the Indiana, Ohio and Michigan
underground railway had to thank Mr. Elliott, whose section of
the road covered a distance of twenty miles, for aid rendered
them in their flight. About the time the Civil War broke out
he removed to Chicago and later to Quincy, 111. Later he
again returned to Chicago, where he continued to reside, an
honored and respected citizen, up to the day of his death.

He is buried at Niles, Mich. A beautiful granite monument,
erected by his son, A. R. Elliott, adorns the cemetery lot, which
was cleared out of the primeval forest by himself in early man-
hood. There also repose the remains of his father and mother,
his wives and several children. He married first, Oct. 1, 1836,
Louisa Carrington of Huron, O., b. May 8, 181 1 ; d. Sept. 17,
1837. He married second, Nov. 30, 1844, at Cleveland, O.,
Caroline Matilda Morse, b. May 5, 1823, at Wells, Me. ; d. Dec.
28, 185 1 ; buried at Niles, Mich. He married third, May 17,

Newark, N. Y. ; still living (1904).

Nathaniel4-, Abial3, Joseph2, John1). A.B. Yale 1844; A.M.
and LL.B. Yale 1847. Lawyer in New Haven.

He took high honors in college ; was a Phi Beta Kappa and
a Skull and Bones man. After his admission to the Bar he
began the practice of law, and married in 1849. He is
described by those who remember him as an unusually attractive
and promising young man, bound to achieve success and make
himself a name. He was an active worker in the church and
superintendent of St. Paul's Sunday School. His daughter,
the editor of this revision, has many beautiful tributes to his
character in her possession. But alas ! He died of yellow fever
in the West Indies, whither he had gone to recover from an
attack of inflammatory rheumatism, Dec. 8, 1852. Such is the
outline of the short career of one who, though early called, had
accomplished much.

Through the compilation of the "Genealogy of the Eliot
Family," published after his death by his father (211) and
others of the family, he placed himself in the forefront of early-
American genealogists, and thereby rendered a service to his
family which they recognize in this Revised Edition by placing
his portrait as the frontispiece.

He married, June 5, 1849, Sarah Frances Sawyier, daughter
of Nathaniel and Pamela (Anderson) Sawyier of Cincinnati, O.

Nathaniel Sawyier was one of the leading lawyers of that
city in its early days — a descendant of Deacon Moses Sawyier
of Salisbury, N. H., and a second cousin of Daniel Webster.
Pamela Anderson's ancestors came from Pennington, N. J.,
and were among the first settlers of Kentucky. She lived to
the ripe old age of ninety-six. Mrs. Sallie Elliot later married
Lebeus C. Chapin of New Haven (Yale 1852) and had by him
four children.

She was born in her grandfather's house in New Haven, and
lived there until her mother married again in 1859. She was
a delicate child, and did not go to school regularly until she was
ten years old, but studied Latin and mathematics with her step-
father, who was then tutor at Yale. In 1866 Dr. Chapin's
health being broken by the War of the Rebellion, and scholastic
pursuits being interdicted, the family moved to Kalamazoo,
Mich., whence, in 1868, at the age of fifteen, Wilimena went to
Vassar College, which had been opened three years previously.
She was poet of her class for the last three years, and had both
a Class day and a Commencement appointment, receiving also
(in later years, when a Vassar Chapter was inaugurated) the
Phi Beta Kappa. After a year's travel in California and a half
year's post-graduate course at Vassar, she began the study of
medicine in New York City at the Woman's College of the New
York Infirmary, and was thus one of the medical pioneers of
her sex. She was the assistant of Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi
for two years in Materia Medica. She graduated in the spring
of 1877, and in Kalamazoo, Dec. 26, 1877, married Justin
Edwards Emerson, formerly of the Hawaiian Islands, a graduate
of Williams College 1865 ; H. C. Med. School 1868 ; and the
son of John S. Emerson and Ursula Newell, early missionaries
to the Islands. After a vear and a half in the old world, Dr.

The mother of William Sidney Elliott, Jr., Caroline (Morse)
Elliott, was the daughter of Daniel Morse, a drummer boy of
the War of 1812. Daniel Morse was a son of Nathan Morse,

198 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

captain in Shay's Rebellion, 1812, and a grandson of Nathan
Morse, the Revolutionary patriot, a private in Captain Amariah
Fuller's command at Cambridge, April 19, 1775. Daniel
Morse's wife was Lucretia (Sawyer) Morse, granddaughter
of Jacob Sawyer, a patriot of the Revolutionary War, enlisted
from Nobleborough, Maine, and wounded at the siege of
Boston, under the command of Captain Rounds and Colonel
Bond Mitchell. Mr. Elliott's mother was a schoolmate and
playfellow of President James A. Garfield, and her father,
Daniel Morse, above referred to, is the Morse with whom
Garfield spent a portion of his early life, as mentioned in the
biographies of the martyred president. In 1857 his parents
moved to Quincy, 111., and before he had passed his sixteenth
birthday he had acquired all the educational advantages afforded
by the public and academical schools of that city. He then
entered the banking establishment of L. and C. H. Bull of
Quincy, in whose employ he remained four years, during which
time he obtained a thorough knowledge of the banking business,
with its infinite attention to details, order and caution, to which
fact he attributes in a great measure his subsequent success in
life. Leaving them, he came to Chicago in 1869, and entered
into an insurance brokerage business, which, during the next
ten years became one of the most important in the city.

He had made up his mind, however, to study law, and in 1879,
through the assistance of Hon. Luther Laflin Mills, the cele-
brated criminal lawyer, he entered the office of Emery A. Storrs,
the nationally famed orator, where he remained until he was
admitted to the bar in March, 1882. He later formed a part-
nership with Mr. Storrs under the firm name of Storrs &
Elliott, which continued until the death of the former. In 1887
he was appointed Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County
under Judge Longnecker. During the five years he held this
position he conducted an average of twelve hundred prosecutions
a year.

In the fall of 1892 he returned to private practice, and since
then he has appeared in a large number of important criminal
cases.

Mr. Elliott may be said to be a self-made man and self-edu-
cated. Although not enabled to obtain a college education, he
has always been a student, and especially may this be said of

him in his profession. He is gifted naturally in many ways, but
his success has been the result of hard work, tenacity and per-
severance in whatever he set out to do. He is an orator of
recognized ability and largely sought for upon occasions requir-
ing the services of those thus favored. He has also held the
position of lecturer on Legal Ethics in the Kent College of Law,
Chicago. Mr. Elliott was nominated for Judge of the Circuit
Court of Cook County, 111., by the Republican party in 1903,
but with the other candidates of the party was defeated on
account of the political apathy in his party.

He married, Oct. 14, 1871, at Chicago, Alwilda Caroline, dau.
of James and Salome Harris of Janesville, Wis. She was b.
Mar. 12, 1851.

1. EVENTS HAVING REFERENCE TO JOHN ELIOT,
DURING HIS LIFE

Chronologically arranged — necessarily incomplete

1606-1610.
The record of the baptisms of Sarah, Phillip, John and Jacob
is in the Widford Register, Jacob having been baptized Sept.
21, 1606. The record of the baptisms of the other children,
Lydia, Francis and Mary, is in the Register at Nazeing, that of
Lydia, in 1610. It is therefore probable that the family of
Bennett Eliot removed from Widford to Nazeing between 1606
and 1610.

1618.

March 20. Entered as pensioner at Jesus College, Cambridge
University.

A pensioner is defined as a student who pays his expenses.
In our day they are the great body of students. John Harvard,
from whom Harvard University is named, was a pensioner at
Emmanuel College, one of the seventeen included in Cambridge
University ; Jesus College, founded in 1496, being another.

1618-1622.

Nothing has been discovered in regard to Eliot during the
four years he was in college, excepting this record :

"1622. Maii die xv° Johannes Eliott (sic) habuit licentiam
sibi concessam petendi gratiam ab universitate ad respondendum
quaestioni spondente Mro Beale". This explanation is added :
Mr. Beale was his tutor, a fellow of the college. The license
is equivalent to what we call a supplicat which the college gives
to quaestionists "proceeding to a B.A. degree".

A quaestionist is "a man in the fourth year of residence who
had not yet taken his B.A. degree."

His degree signature is in Vol. 1, Subscription Book in the
Registrary's office at Cambridge University. No earlier auto-
graph of John Eliot has been found.

l62I.

Nov. 5. Date of the will of his father, Bennett Eliot, in which
provision is made for the maintenance of his son, John, at Cam-
bridge University, where he is a "scholler". (See Part I.)

1622-1631.

A portion of this interval was spent at Little Baddow, Essex,
England, as a school-master with the Rev. Thomas Hooker,
who, from about 1626-1628 was a lecturer at Chelmsford. In
1630, Hooker went to Holland. In 1633 he arrived at Boston.
After a brief settlement at Cambridge as the first minister there,
he, with his congregation, removed to Hartford, Conn., where
he died in 1647.

Although John's first years were seasoned with the fear of
God, the word, and prayer, while living with Mr. Hooker, he
received deep religious impressions. "To this place was I called
through the infinite riches of God's mercy in Christ Jesus to
my poor soul ; for here the Lord said unto my dead soul, Live ;
and, through the grace of Christ, I do live, and I shall live
forever. When I came to this blessed family, I then saw, and
never before, the power of godliness in its lively vigor and
efficacy".

1631.

Probably about the middle of August he embarked on the
ship Lion for Boston. Margaret, wife of John Winthrop, with
an infant daughter who died on the passage, was a passenger ;
and John Eliot, the only minister on the ship, must have been
called upon to offer consolation to the bereaved.

Nov. 2. "The ship Lyon, William Peirce master, arrived at
Natascot. There came in her the governour's wife, his eldest
son, and his wife, and others of his children, and Mr. Eliot,
a minister, and other families, being in all about sixty persons,
who all arrived in good health, having been ten weeks at sea."

Nov. 3. "The wind being contrary, the ship stayed at Long
Island . . . and the next morning, the wind coming fair, she
came to anchor before Boston."

Nov. 4. "The governour, his wife and children, went on
shore, with Mr. Peirce, in his ship's boat. The ship gave them
six or seven pieces. At their landing, the captains, with their
companies in arms, entertained them with a guard, and divers
vollies of shot, and three drakes ; and divers of the afsistants
14

and most of the people, of the near plantations, came to welcome
them, and brought and sent, for divers days, great stores of
provisions, as fat hogs, kids, venison, poultry, geese, partridges,
etc., so as the like joy and manifestation of love had never
been seen in New England. It was a great marvel, that so
much people and such store of provisions could be gathered
together at so few hours' warning"

Nov. ii. "We kept a day of thanksgiving at Boston"
"He adjoyned to the church at Boston, and there exercised
in the absence of Mr. Wilson the Pastor who was gone back to
England for his wife and family"

1632.

Feb. 7. "The governour, Mr. Nowell, Mr. Eliot, and others,
went over Mistick River at Medford, and going N. and by E.
among the rocks about two or three miles, they came to a very
great pond, having in the midst an island of about one acre, and
very thick with trees of pine and beech ; and the pond had
divers small rocks, standing up here and there in it, which they
therefore called Spot Pond. They went all about it upon the
ice. From thence (towards the N. W. about half a mile,) they
came to the top of a very high rock, beneath which (towards the
N.) lies a goodly plain, part open land, and part woody, from
whence there is a fair prospect, but it being then close and
rainy, they could see but a small distance. This place they
called Cheese Rock, because, when they went to eat somewhat,
they had only cheese, (the governour's man forgetting, for
haste, to put up some bread.)"

March 6. In the list of "The names of such as desire to be
made freemen are the names, at the head, of "Mr. John Eliot"
and "Jacob Eliot".

Mr. Eliot writes of himself: "Mr. John Eliot; he come to.
N. E. in the 9/ month. 1631. ... the next summer Mr Wilson
returned, & by yl time the church at Boston was intended to
call him to office ; his friends wr come & setled at Rocksbrough,
to whom he was foreingaiged, y* if he were not called to office
before they came, he was to join wth them, wherevpon the churqh
at Rocksbrough called him to be Teacher, in the end of yl sumer
& soone after he was ordained to yl office in the church".

Winthrop says: "Mr. John Eliot, a member of Boston con-
gregation, and one whom the congregation intended presently

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 217

to call to the office of teacher, was called to be a teacher to the
church at Roxbury ; and though Boston laboured all they could,
both with the congregation of Roxbury and with Mr. Eliot
himself, alleging their want of him, and the covenant between
them, etc., yet he could not be diverted from accepting the call
of Roxbury, November 5. So he was dismissed".

Upon the return of Mr. Wilson from England, the church at
Boston, Cotton Mather says, "was intending to have made Mr.
Eliot his Colleague, and their Teacher ; but it was thus diverted.
Mr. Eliot had engaged unto a select number of his pious and
Christian Friends in England, that if they should come into
these Parts before he should be in the pastoral Care of any
other people, he would give himself to them, and be for Their
Service. It happened that these Friends transported them-
selves hither the year after him ; and chose their Habitation at
the Town which they called Roxbury. A Church being now
gathered at this place, he was in a little while Ordained unto
the Teaching and Ruling of that holy Society. So, 'twas in
the Orb of that Church that we had him as a Star fixed for
very near Threescore years; it only remains that we now
observe what was his Magnitude all this while, and how he per-
formed his Revolution".

Sept. 16. Hannah Mountford (or Mumford) probably
arrived at Boston in ship Lyon with one hundred and twenty-
two other passengers.

"in the 8th month m. Hanna Mumford."

Nov. 5. Ordained as teacher at Roxbury.

1633-

Sept. 17. "Hannah the daughter of Mr. John Eliot borne".

Oct. 16. The church in Roxbury and six other churches
"kept a day of thanksgiving for the mercies granted to the
country". »

1634-

Jan. 19. "All the ministers except Mr. Ward of Ipswich,
met at Boston, being requested by the governour and assistants,
to consider of these two cases : 1 . What we ought to do, if
a general governour should be sent out of England? 2.
Whether it be lawful for us to carry the cross in our banners? —
In the first case, they all agreed, if a governour were sent, we
ought not to accept him, but defend our lawful possessions (if

2l8 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

we were able ;) otherwise to avoid or protract. For the matter
of the cross ; they were divided ; and so deferred it to another
meeting."

Nov. 27. The Governour and his assistants were informed
"how Mr. Eliot, the teacher of the church of Roxbury, had
taken occasion, in a sermon, to speak of a peace made with the
Pekods, and to lay some blame upon the ministry for proceeding
therein, without consent of the people, and for other failings,
(as he conceived). We took order, that he should be dealt
with by Mr. Cotton, Mr. Hooker, and Mr. Welde, to be brought
to see his errour, and to heal it by some public explanation of
his meaning ; for the people began to take occasion to murmur
against us for it."

"The aforsaid three ministers, upon conference with the said
Mr. Eliot, brought him to acknowledge his errour in that he
had mistaken the ground of his doctrine, and that he did
acknowledge, that, for a peace only,' (whereby the people were
not to be engaged in a war,) the magistrates might conclude,
plebe inconsulto, and so promised to express himself in public
next Lord's day."

"Thomas Hills a man servant, he came in the yeare. 1633.
he lived among us in good esteeme & Godly, & dyed about the
II* or i2l month. 1634 and left a good savor behind him, he
was a very faithfull & prudent servant, & a good christian, he
dyed in Mr. Eliots family.

Probably this year, his brother, Philip, with his family, sailed
from England in the Hopewell, as he was made freeman, May
25, 1636.

In the same letter is the following: — "Wee are far from
Justifying Mr. Elliott in his Turbulent and clamorous proceed-
ings but the best of gods servants haue theire faylings and as
such soe wee look vpon him".

"This spring time in the year 1653, being sundry days at
Pautucket, and spending a sabbath among them, there was a
woman at the meeting who had a small brass image of a man
about her neck, hanging by a string fastened about the neck of
the image ; I observed it, but thought little of it : afterwards
when I thought to have gone away, my horse had run and gone
homeward, as they found by his footing, whereupon I sent some
one after my horse, and proposed to have gone on foot after till
they met me with my horse. Many being gathered together to
take leave of me, among the rest there was that woman with an
image about her neck ; I asked her why she wore it there ; she
roundly and readily answered me, I pray unto it. Why, says I,
do you account that to be your god? She as readily answered
me, yes. At which I marvelled, having never seen the like
before at any place I ever came to, therefore declared to her,
and the company about us, the greatness of the sin of idolatry.
I urged the second commandment. I shewed how much idols
should be demolished. I desired her to give it to me, that I
might demolish it ; but she refused. I offered her half a crown
for it, but she was not willing. Perceiving that it was tied
with a riding knot, I slipped the knot, and slipped off the image ;
then she swelled with anger, and cried. I presently gave her
half a crown, which she took, but was not pacified. I told the
company, the first pond I came to I would cast it in. When I
departed, the woman girt up her loins and ran after me ; when
I perceived it, I asked her whither she went ; she answered,
whither I went, and she would not leave me so long as I had
her god about me. It began to rain, which was some discour-
agement to my going forward ; then I considered that this act
of mine, in taking away and abolishing the idol, was neither so
proper nor so valid as it would be if the rulers and sachems
should do it — I resolved to return, and did so, and the woman
after me. When I came to the wigwam, there being four
sachems present which prayed to God, I desired them all to
come together. Being come, I told them that seeing the rain
had driven me back, God would not have me yet to go, but some-

what else is to be done about this idol and the sin of idolatry,
and because the woman is not content with what I have done I
do commit the matter and the idol unto you to judge. So I
laid it upon the ground before them where they sat, and went
to confer with the company. When they had sat about half
an hour in consultation, they desired the company to come before
them, which they did. They said they had agreed upon their
judgments, ist, That the act in taking away the idol was well
done. 2dly, That one man should be appointed to demolish the
idol, and three others for witnesses that it was done. 3dly,
They adjudged the idolatress to be a great sinner, yet as it was
the first time, and that she had done it ignorantly, therefore they
would spare her, yet they did all one after another reprove her
very solemnly. After execution was done upon the idol, one
declared that he understood there were some more idols like to
that, in other houses. I requested the sachems to send for those
also. The officer or constable went well guarded, and presently
brought a bright brass image or seraphim with his wings spread,
to the sachems, who presently passed the same judgment they
had done upon the former, and it was executed accordingly. I
asked, how it should come to pass that there should be such
idolatry here, and in no place else that I had heard of. They
rendered this reason : That being the most northerly place that
I resort to, some of those Indians have commerce with the
Indians that are yet more northerly, who have commerce with
those whom the French teach to pray to such idols, therefore
they think the idols and idolatry come from them".

Sufferings of the Christian Indians in New England in the
years 1675, 1676, 1677" &c.

This year, John Watson, sen. and Henry Prentiss resided

English" &c.

Oct. 23, 1677. Date of a letter to Robert Boyle, in which
he mentions, in most grateful language, the support which the

with the Indians, God pleased to show us the vanity of our
military skill, in managing our arms, after the European mode.
Now we are glad to learn the skulking way of war. And what
God's end is, in teaching us such a way of discipline, I know
not."

3. PUBLICATIONS OF JOHN' ELIOT, INCLUDING
TRACTS.

Roxbury Church Records. Largely, though not exclusively,
the work of John Eliot. They are entitled : — "A recorde of
such as adjoyned themselves vnto the fellowship of this Church
of Christ at Roxborough : as also of such children as they had
when they joyned, & of such as were borne vnto them vnder the
holy Covenant of this Church, who are pperly the seede of this
Church".

In 1850, the principal part of them was published by J.
Wingate Thornton in a Roxbury, Mass., newspaper. Fifty
copies thereof were issued in book-form. In 1879-1881, they
were printed with notes by Wm. B. Trask in the N. E. His-
torical and Genealogical Register of Boston.

They were printed for the third time, and to a greater extent,
in "A Report of the Record Commissioners containing the
Roxbury land and church records". — "City Document. No.
114". Boston: . . 1881.

These records are not restricted to religious matters, but
many secular events are recorded.

"The Whole Booke of Psalmes Faithfully translated into
English Metre", generally known as- the "Bay Psalm Book" —
the first book printed in the Anglo-American colonies, 1640.

As the Puritans were not satisfied with the version of the
Psalms in use in their day, they authorized another translation,
adhering more closely to the Hebrew original. To Richard
Mather, Thomas Welde and John Eliot this duty was assigned.
Their verses have been characterized as "hopelessly unpoetical".
But, with some modifications, they were generally used in New
England for more than a century, and they were extensively
adopted in England and Scotland. Edition after edition, one
writer says to the number of seventy, was published. Few, less
than half a dozen copies of the first edition, can be found.
There is one in the Lenox Library, New York City, and two
copies in the Boston Public Library. Some years ago, a copy

258 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

at auction in New York City fetched $1,200. An amount
much larger would now be paid should a copy be offered for
sale.

The Indians sang from a translation into their language, and
Cotton Mather says their singing was "most ravishing".

About seventy-one copies were reprinted in New York City
in 1862. Occasionally one of these is offered for sale. Price,
from $30 upwards.

Catechisms and Primers in the Mass. Indian language. The
first was printed in 1653-4, of which there was a second
impression in 1662. In 1687 an Indian primer was printed in
Cambridge, Mass., as doubtless the preceding and succeeding
editions were. "It seems that Mr. Eliot translated several
catechisms into the Indian language". In 1669, "The Indian
Primer; or The way of training up of our Indian youth in the
good knowledge of God, in the knowledge of the Scriptures
and in an ability to Reade. Composed by J. E."

Besides the elementary contents usual in primers, this con-
tains the Lord's Prayer ; "the ancient creed", now known as
the Apostles' Creed ; the Larger and Shorter Catechisms ; and
other matter. The only copy is in the library of the University
of Edinburgh. It was reprinted in 1877, and again in 1880.
In the edition of 1880, a fac-simile of "The Indian Covenanting
Confession" is prefixed — a broad-side, printed probably about
1660, in two columns, one in Indian, and the other in English.
Copies of these reprints are occasionally offered for sale.

All the copies of 1653-4. of 1662, and probably of 1687, have
disappeared.

Sometime between 1663 and 1675, the Assembly's shorter
catechism was printed, of which a copy does not remain.

The six principles of religion by the Rev. William Perkins
was translated into the Indian language, but it is not certain
that it was printed.

Indian Testaments and Bibles.
In 1655, Genesis ; in 1665, Matthew ; in 1658, a few psalms
in metre ; in 1663, the psalter or book of psalms ; in the same

year, a "Complete translation of the metrical psalms (all the
singing songs of David)" were separately printed, but there
are no copies to attest the fact.

In 1 661, the New Testament was printed. A copy was sent
to King Charles II., as was the whole Bible when completed.
Copies are accessible in the Lenox Library, New York City, and
in the Boston Public Library. They have brought various
prices, and the value of a perfect copy may be about $500.

In 1663, the Holy Bible, containing the Old Testament, and
the New ; all the singing songs of David ; and the leaf of
Rules for holy living, sometimes called the Catechism, was issued.
This is known as the first edition. The most valuable copy is
that presented by the translator to Jesus College, Cambridge
University. England. On the fly-sheet at the beginning, he
wrote, apparent!)' not without one or two slips and corrections
in his Latinity : —

Pro Collegio Jesu,
"Accipias mater quod alumnus humillimus offert
Filius, oro preces semper, habere tuas."
Johannes Eliot.

Which, translated freely in English may read, For Jesus Col-
lege. As one of her humblest sons, he asks his Alma Mater to
accept this gift which he offers, and he entreats that he may
always have her prayers. John Eliot.

A copy of this edition, sent to "Dame Mary Armyne," is
said to have cost its present owner about $3,000.

In 1680, a second edition of the New Testament was printed,
and the Bible was completed in 1685. Copies of this are more
numerous and less costly than those of the first edition.

The largest collection of Indian Bibles and Testaments,
embracing every variety, is in the Lenox Library, New York
City. The whole number of copies of Indian Testaments and
Bibles, at present known, exceeds one hundred and twenty-five.
Many of these are more or less imperfect.

Two copies of the Indian Bible are owned by descendants of
John Eliot ; one, a valuable copy of the first edition, by Mrs.
Laura Eliot Cutter of Brooklyn, N. Y. ; the other, which was
owned and has the autograph of the Indian preacher who was
the last to preach in the aboriginal tongue, by Ellsworth Eliot,
M.D., New York City.

Translation of Other Works.

The first edition of the translation of Richard Baxter's Call
to the Unconverted was printed in 1664. No copy known. It
was reprinted in 1688. Yale University has a copy of this
edition, for which $135 was paid in 1879.

There are two editions of Bishop Lewis Bayly's Practice of
Piety, somewhat abridged, one in 1665, and one in 1685. A
copy of the first edition was bought by Yale University for
$205.

The sincere convert by Thomas Shepard, "turned into Indian
language" by John Eliot, "a little amended by Grindal Rawson,"
was printed in 1689. It was the last of Eliot's translations.
Copies may be seen in the Lenox Library and in the library of
Yale University.

Other Publications.

"The Indian Grammar begun: or, An Essay to bring the
Indian Language into rules, For the Help of such as desire to
Learn the same, or the furtherance of the Gospel among them.
By John Eliot".

At the end of the grammar, Mr. Eliot writes : — "I have now
finished what I shall do at present ; And in a word or two to
satisfie the prudent Enquirer how I found out these new wayes
of Grammar, which no other Learned Language (so farre as I
know) useth ; I thus inform him: God first put into my heart
a compassion over their poor Souls, and a desire to teach them
to know Christ, and to bring them into his Kingdome. Then
presently I found out (by God's wise providence) a pregnant
witted young man, who had been a Servant in an English house,
who pretty well understood our Language, better than he could
speak it, and well understood his own Language, and hath a
clear pronunciation : Him I made my Interpreter. By his help
I translated the Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, and many
Texts of Scripture ; also I compiled both Exhortations and
Prayers by his help. I diligently marked the difference of
their Grammar from ours : When I found the way of them,
I would pursue a Word, a Noun, a Verb, through all variations
I could think of. And thus I came at it. We must not sit
still and look for Miracles : Up and be doing, and the Lord
will be with thee. Prayer and Pains, through Faith in Christ
Jesus, will do any thing".

There is a copy in the Lenox Library, New York City. The
book was reprinted in 1822 in the Collections of the Massa-
chusetts Historical Society, vol. ix, with notes and observations
by Dr. John Pickering: also by Peter S. DuPonceau: also by
the editor. This reprint was issued separately, with small
additions.

It was again reprinted in the Collections of the Massachusetts
Historical Society, vol. 9 (second edition).

5. EXTRACTS RELATING TO HANNAH MUMFORD.

"His whole Conversation with her had that sweetness and that gravity
and modesty beautifying of it that everyone called them Zachary and
Elizabeth. — Cotton Mather's Life, page 51.

This Wife of his youth lived with him until she became to him the
staff of his Age ; and she left him not until three or four years before
his own Departure to those Heavenly Regions, where they now together
see Light. She was a Woman very Eminent, both for Holiness and
Usefulness, and she excelled most of the Daughters that have done
vcrtuously. Her Name was Ann, and Gracious was her Nature. God
made her a Rich Blessing, not only to her Family, but also to her
Neighbourhood ; and when at last she dyed, I heard and saw her aged
Husband, who else very rarely wept, yet now with Tears over the Coffin,
before the good people, a vast confluence of which were come to her
Funeral, say, "Here lies my dear, faithful, pious, prudent, prayerful
Wife ; I shall go to her, and she not return to me." My Reader will
of his own accord excuse me, from bestowing any further Epitaphs upon
that gracious woman. — Cotton Mather, 6 and 7.

It was an extreme Satisfaction to him, that his Wife had attained to
a considerable skill in Physick and Chirurgery, which enabled her to
dispense many safe, good, and useful Medicines unto the Poor that had
occasion for them ; and some hundreds of sick & weak and maimed
people owed praises to God, for the Benefit which therein they freely
received of her. The good Gentleman, her Husband would still be
casting Oyl into the Flame of that Charity, wherein she was of her
own accord abundantly forward thus to be doing of good unto all;
and he would urge her to be serviceable unto the worst Enemies that
he had in the world. Never had any man fewer Enemies than he !
But once having delivered something in his Ministry, which displeased
one of his Hearers, the man did passionately abuse him for it, and this
both with Speeches and Writings that reviled him. Yet it happened
not long after, that this, man gave himself a very dangerous Wound.
Mr Eliot immediately sends his Wife to cure him; who did accord-
ingly. When the man was well he came to thank her ; but she took
no Rewards ; and this Good man made him stay and eat with him,
taking no notice of all the Calumnies with which he had loaded him;
but by this Carriage he strangely mollified and conquered the Stomach
of his Reviler. — C. M., pp. 38 and 30.

The skill of our ancestress, Hanna Mumford Eliot, in the healing art,
is evident from her directions in regard to the treatment of "Rickitts".
They were taken from a manuscript volume of Miss Esther Bernon
Carpenter, deceased, of Wakefield, R. I., and they were originally copied
from a manuscript volume belonging to John2, son of the "Apostle."

but what estate he became owner of, was from the Blessing of God

they were? and she found that he knew nothing of them. He could
not endure to plunge himself into secular Designs and Affairs, — C. M.,

6. MEMORIALS OF THE APOSTLE.

1. John Eliot Memorial Prize and Scholarship Fund. It
seems peculiarly appropriate that an Eliot Prize Fund to encour-
age the study of the Hebrew language should be offered in Jesus
College, Cambridge, by the descendants of John Eliot when we
consider these words of his, as reported by Cotton Mather :

"Oh that the Lord would put it (says he) into the heart of some of
his Religious and Learned Servants to take such pains about the Hebrew
Language as to fit it for Universal Use ! Considering that above all
other Languages spoken by the lips of Man it is most capable to be
enlarged and fitted to express all things and notions that our human
intellect is capable of in this mortal life; considering also that it is the
Invention of God himself and what one is fitter to be the Universal
Language than that which it pleased our Lord Jesus to make use of
when lie spake from Heaven unto Paul. — C. M. Life of Eliot, page 50.

The Rev. Edward Otter, formerly Fellow, gave the dividend
of one year's Fellowship which increased by the College forms
a Divinity and Hebrew prize of about £18, open every two
years to Bachelors of Jesus College, Cambridge, England.

The Eliot Prize Fund, inaugurated by Ellsworth Eliot of
New York and contributed to by a number of his descendants
in the LTnited States of America, was begun in 1898 and com-
pleted in 1904. It is open for competition in alternate years
with the other prize, its value and the conditions of examination
being the same.

The original circular is as follows :

The John Eliot Memorial Prize and Scholarship Funds, Jesus College,
Cambridge University, England.

John Eliot, "The Apostle to the Indians," entered this College, March
20, 1618, and proceeded to the degree of A. B. in 1622.

In the will of his father, Bennet Eliot, made November 5, 1621 —
recorded in the Commissary Court of London, Register for 1621-1626,
Folio 85, B. ; and printed in "The Heraldic Journal, recording the
Armorial Bearings and Genealogies of American Families, Vol. IV.,
Boston, 1868," pp. 182-186 — is : "And first I give and bequeath all the
rents and profitts of all my coppy and customary lands and Tenements

for the space of eight yeares from the time of my decease quarterly to
pay unto my sonne John Elliott the some of eight pounds a yeare of
lawfull money of England for and towards the maintenance in the
univ'sity of Cambridge where he is a Scholler."

That John Eliot had a most tender regard for his Alma Mater is
evident from the fact that he presented to her a copy of the first
edition of his Indian Bible, now the most valuable in existence. (See
page 259 for the dedication as he wrote it.)

It seems eminently proper that there should be a perpetual Memorial
of "The Apostle to the Indians" in this venerable Institution of learning,
where were probably laid, in a large degree, during a residence of several
years, the foundations of his learning and piety.

1. It is proposed to establish, at Jesus College, Cambridge University,
England, a "John Eliot Memorial Prize Fund" of £250, the interest upon
which shall be used to encourage superior knowledge of the Hebrew
language, for which "The Apostle to the Indians" had great reverence.

II. It is also proposed to establish in the same College a "John Eliot
Memorial Scholarship Fund," the interest upon which, when sufficient,
shall be used for a superior scholar in all the studies leading to the
degree of A. B.

III. The Master and Fellows of Jesus College shall establish such rules
and regulations as they think necessary and desirable for the proper
management of these Funds, and for the award of the Prize and
Scholarship.

IV. In electing a John Eliot Scholar, preference shall be given, ceteris
paribus, to a native of the County of Hertford (in which John Eliot
was baptized at Widford) ; or of Essex (in which his family lived a
number of years at Nazeing) ; or of one of the six States of New
England (where his active life was spent).

The Master and Fellows of Jesus College are prepared to allow the
name of John Eliot, of whom they are justly proud, to be perpetuated in
this manner.

Contributions may be sent to the Rev. James De Normandie, D.D.,
Roxbury, Mass., the present successor of John Eliot in the first Church
there ; to Frederic B Elliott, President of the Hudson River Bank,
Columbus Avenue, New York, N. Y. ; to Ellsworth Eliot, M.D., 48 West
36th Street, New York, N. Y.; to the Rev. John Travis Lockwood,
Widford Rectory, Ware, Hertfordshire, England ; and to the Rev.

2. In Canton, Mass., there is a granite Watering Trough, high
enough for horses to drink from unchecked, with this inscrip-
tion : — "Erected in memory of the labors of the Apostle Eliot
among the Indians at Ponkapoag, 1650-1690".

3. The Parish Tomb, in the burial ground, corner of Wash-
ington and Eustis Streets, Roxbury, Mass., is about three feet
high. Upon its walls of blocks of sandstone rest a white
marble slab, inscribed with the names of the ministers of the
first church from John Eliot, who died in 1690, to Eliphalet
Porter, who died in 1833.

4. The Eliot Memorial Terrace at Newton, Mass., has this
inscription: — Here at Nonantum, October 28, 1646, in Waban's
wigwam, near this spot, John Eliot began to preach the Gospel
to the Indians. Here was founded the first Christian com-
munity of Indians within the English Colonies.

The dates 1646 and 1879 (the year of erection) and the
names, Heath, Shepard, Gookin and Waban, who are supposed
to have been at the meeting, are upon the terrace.

5. There is also at Newton an "Eliot Memorial Fund," the
interest upon which is used to stimulate the pupils in the public
schools of Newton to study American history, especially the
early history of Massachusetts.

6. At South Natick, Mass., there is , a monument of New
Jersey freestone, obelisk in form and about fifteen feet high,
on the site of the Indian burial ground. On one of its sides is
the inscription

John Eliot

Apostle

to the Indians

Born 1604

Died 20 May

1690.

On another side is an open Bible, carved, and on one of its
pages is

Up Biblum God
1663

7. Four tablets are affixed to the Congregational House,
Boston, Mass. One of these, signifying philanthropy, is a
representation of John Eliot preaching to the Indians.

8. The Chancel window in the Church of St. John Baptist,
Widford, Hertfordshire, England, is a Memorial to John Eliot,
the inscription being: — To the Glory of God, and in pious
memory of John Eliot, A.B. Cantab, called "The Apostle to
the Indians," who was baptized in this Parish, Aug. 5, 1604:

272 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

Emigrated to New England, 1631 : died in Roxbury, Massa-
chusetts, May 21, 1690. The righteous shall be in everlasting
remembrance. Erected by his descendants 1894.

The following circular was the beginning of this admirable
memorial :
To the descendants of John Eliot, "Apostle to the Indians."

The early years of our ancestors were passed in Widford, County
of Hertford; in Nazeing, County of Essex; at Little Baddow in the
same county, and at Jesus College, Cambridge University.

In the Parish Register of the Church of St. John Baptist at Widford,
his baptism is thus recorded : John Elliott the sonne of Bennett Elliott
was baptized the fyfte daye of Auguste in the yeare of or Lord God, 1604.

The baptism of his sister Sarah in 1599, his brother Phillip in 1602,
and his brother Jacob in 1606 are also recorded in this Parish Register.

Among the marriages is this : Bennett Eliot and Letteye Aggar were
married the 30th of October, 1598.

Subsequently to 1606 and prior to 1610 the family doubtless removed
to Nazeing, as in the Parish Register of the Church of All Saints in
that Parish are recorded the baptisms of Lydia in 1610, of Francis in
1615, and of Mary in 1620. The Register also shows that in the church-
yard there are the graves, unmarked and unknown, of Letteye Eliot,
who died in 1620, and Bennet Eliot, who died in 1621 — the father and
mother of our apostolic ancestor.

In the library of Jesus College, Cambridge University, is a copy of
the Indian Bible presented by John Eliot, as his inscription on the
fly-sheet shows. This priceless volume has been but recently discovered.

Widford is about twenty-five miles north from London, and four
and one-half miles east from Ware. It contains cfbout 500 inhabitants,
and probably presents about the same appearance as when our ancestor
was born there. The Church of St. John Baptist is an ancient structure,
built, no one can tell when and how. Parts of it are probably about
Soo years old, dating from the days of the Normans. Venerable in
appearance, it looks as if it had stood for ages and would continue for
centuries undilapidated. Archbishop Richard Whately and our ancestor,
as well, were baptized at the stately font which stands just within the
entrance of the church. Charles Lamb was a frequent worshipper there,
and his beautiful verses, in which he refers to the grave of his grand-
mother in its churchyard as

"On the green hill-top
Hard by the house of prayer, a modest roof,"

have brought, and will continue to bring, many pilgrims to this delight-
ful locality. The tower of the church, built at a later date than the
main building, but still not far from 500 years old, contains a peal of
six bells of exceptional sweetness and purity. Some of them are of great
antiquity, to which John Eliot must have listened. Their melodious
ringing on a clear Sunday morning once heard can never be forgotten.

Through the kindness of the Rector, the Rev. John Traviss Lockwood,
arrangements have been made to erect a stained-glass window to the
memory of our ancestor. Mr. Lockwood has kindly consented that the
chancel window, the most desirable one in the church, may be used for
this purpose. Messrs. Burlinson & Grylls, 23 Newman Street, London,
are preparing a design, a copy of which will soon be received. It will
be an appropriate and beautiful memorial. The Rector of the church
is thoroughly acquainted with this kind of work, and will give it his
unremitting attention. The inscription will be : To the Glory of God
and in Pious Remembrance of John Eliot, A.B., Cantab. * called "The
Apostle to the Indians," who was Baptized in this Church, Aug. 5,
1604: Emigrated to New England A.D. 1631 ; and Died in Roxbury,
Massachusetts, May 21, 1690. This window was erected by his descend-
ants A.D. 1893 (or 1894). "The Righteous shall be in Everlasting
Remembrance."

The object of this circular is to ask contributions of $1 and upwards
from every one who claims descent from John Eliot, and from those
who have married descendants. There are a few who will pay the
entire amount, if necessary. As some are unable, and others may be
indifferent, large contributions must be made by others to meet the
expenses, which will be about $1,000. It is suggested that contributions
be made, by those who are able and willing, in the names of deceased
members of the family, or in behalf of those too poor to contribute,
so as to make the number of contributors, directly or indirectly, as
numerous as possible.

Contributions sent to E. Eliot, 48 West 36th Street, New York, N. Y.,
will be promptly acknowledged.

It will give me pleasure to show a large number of maps and photo-
graphs of churches and places identified with the life of John Eliot
in England to any who may desire to see them.

When the work shall have been finished there will be a dedicatory
service. This may take place early next spring. Then, or at any other
time, descendants of John Eliot will have a cordial welcome at the
church, rectory, and village of Widford, in Hertfordshire, England.

9. A Memorial Window, made by the Tiffany Glass Company,
New York City, from a design by F. D. Millet, was placed in
Memorial Hall, Harvard College, in 1889. It is described as
"a well designed and richly colored picture of Eliot presenting
the Gospel to the Indians".

* Cantab., in the inscription, is the usual abbreviation of Cantabrigi
the Latin of Cambridge.

10. Memorial to John Eliot at Tucson, Arizona, by Laura
Eliot Cutter. [See illustration in this volume.]

"The Pumping Plant is the property of the Indian Training School at
Tucson, Arizona. It is the only means of irrigating our forty-five acre
ranch, which is situated one mile west of the School. Our School is
for the Pima and Papago Indians and these tribes alone are benefited
by this plant. Its use so far has been confined entirely to the School
lands.

Water rights, which we had from the river ditch, were partly taken
away from us some years ago. Last year we would have had no crop
had it not been for this pump plant, for all the water was taken away
from us. The want of rains in this climate makes irrigation an absolute
necessity for vegetation. The inscription for the plant is cut in native
marble, taken from a mountain about twenty miles southwest of Tucson.
The stone stands outside of the Well building at the southeast corner."

[A portion of a letter written by the Superintendent of the Training
School.]

Churches, halls, public squares, streets, various institutions,
and other Memorials without number bear the name of Eliot in
recognition of his praiseworthy character.

9. THE SURNAME ELIOT, AND ITS CORRECT SPELLING.

Much has been written in regard to the origin of surnames in
modern history, that of Eliot included. They were introduced
to designate occupation, estate, place of residence, or some par-
ticular thing or event related to the person. One writer says
Eliot is of doubtful origin. Another says it signifies the son
of Elias. It has abounded in the north of England and the
Scottish border from an early date. It was first brought to the
new world by John Eliot and his brother Jacob. By the Apostle
it was spelled Eliot, and it was so continued for three genera-
tions. The number of changes that have been made in later
generations is surprising.

The following after-dinner lines, composed by Mrs. W. H.
Eliot Emerson, were read at the family dinner at South Natick,
and is here printed by request :

The Name of Eliot.

I have a little tale to tell-
Perhaps 'tis new to you as well ;
It dates as far back as man's woes
When the tower of Babel rose !

It seems the letters got so mixed —
After that high brick wall was fixed, —
They joined themselves in pure affright
For fear they'd lose themselves outright.

Three vowels, a liquid and a t,
Clung together for company ;
The i was thin, the o was round,
E had a good strong base 'twas found,

So it took the lead and liquid L
Followed the E and loved it well —
While sharp thin I and fat round O
Were followed by T, who was shy and slow.

And many have borne this curious name
Since Babel first was known to fame,
And some have tinkered, and many have tried
To make it different — more long — or wide.

27S DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

They have doubled the 1
"To make it swell,"
They have added a t
"To be odd, you see."
Some have put in a "y"
In the place of i —
But still it spells
"E-1-i-o-t."

Now, kinsmen and kinswomen here to-day,
I've an axe to grind and a chip to lay.
Why not scratch out one I and banish one t
And all spell our name E-1-i-o-t?
And, if two good reasons I must show,
First, our great Eliot spelt it so,
And next — the anagram is toile,
The greatest, grandest privilege of man.
Whether to do great deeds or till the soil;
Therefore I say, adopt the ancient plan.

10. PLACES IN ENGLAND

Known to be Closely Associated with the Memory of
John Eliot.

I. Widford in Hertfordshire, about twenty-six miles north by
east from London. It contains about 500 inhabitants. Here
in the Parish Register is the record of the marriage of his father
and mother ; and of the baptisms of their children, Sarah, Philip,
John, and Jacob ; and here is the Memorial window to John.

II. Nazeing in Essex, about nineteen miles north by east from
London. It contains about 1,800 inhabitants. Here in the
Parish Register is the record of the baptisms of the younger
children, Lydia, Francis and Mary ; and here is the record of the
burial of the father and mother.

III. Jesus College, Cambridge University. Here in the
Library of the College is a copy of the first edition of the Indian
Bible, with a presentation inscription in Latin by the translator —
the most valuable copy in existence.

IV. Little Baddow in Essex, about thirty-five miles north-
east from London. Here between 1622, the year of his gradu-
ation from college, and 1631, when he left England for America,
he was for some time a teacher in the school of the Rev. Thomas
Hooker — it is not known how long.

11. TOWNS OF "PRAYING INDIANS".

From the year 1651, when Natick was founded, to King
Philip's war, 1675-78, towns for the Christian Indians, one after
another, were established until they numbered sixteen. Seven
of them were designated as old towns "because they were first
settled in civil and religious order." In the <"Nipmuck
country," which was in that part of Massachusetts now occu-
pied by towns in the middle and lower part of Worcester
County, there were about nine new towns. In Gookin's His-
torical Collections of the Indians in New England, these towns
are called Natick, Pakemit or Punkapoag, Hassanamesitt,
Okommakamesit, Wamesit, Nashobah, Magunkaquog, Man-
chage, Chabanakongkomun, Maanexit, Quantisset, Wabquissit,
Packacoog, Waeuntug, and two others, Weshakim and Quabaug,
"which are coming to receive the gospel".

These towns are supposed to have contained about eleven
hundred "yielding obedience to the gospel".

The results of Philip's war were most disastrous, nearly all,
if not all, the new praying towns in the Nipmuck country having
been annihilated.

Four, of all the Indian towns, in 1684 were Natick, Ponkipog,
Wamesit, and Chachaubunkkakowok.

The spelling of the names differ in the writings of different
authors.

Natick is the only one which has become permanent.

Among the Early Settlers in New England Besides the

"Apostle" and His Three Brothers.

I. John of Watertown, Mass., 1633. He probably
removed to Stamford, Conn., in 1650. His wife, Margaret,
died there Aug. 17, 1658.

II. "William Eliot, sometimes of New Sarum" (Salis-
bury), England, was drowned at Thacher's Island, "about two
miles east of the southeast point of Cape Ann", Mass., Aug. 15,

1635-

III. Edmund of Amesbury, Mass. Arrived about 1650.

IV. Richard of New London, Conn., in 1662. (Transient.)
V. Richard of Beverly, Mass., in 1664.

VI. Joseph of New London, 1667.
VII. Henry of Stonington, 1678.
VIII. Robert of Casco, Scarborough, 1685
IX. Thomas of Boston, Mass., 1686.
X. Daniel of Sudbury or, Marlborough, 1687.
XL Andrew, from East Coker, Somersetshire, England,
came to Beverly, Mass., between 1668 and 1670. He was one
of the jury in the witch trials at Salem, for which he and the
other jurymen asked forgiveness.

The genealogy of this family by Walter Graeme Eliot was
published in 1887.

Many distinguished men, one of them Charles William Eliot,
President of Harvard University, trace their ancestry to this
emigrant.

Levi and Oliver Elliott, brothers, who may have been descend-
ants of some one of the preceding, came from Maine or Vermont
to Cherry Flats, Tioga Co., Pa., where they lived and died,
marrying and having a large family of male children.

Mortimer F. Elliott, 26 Broadway, New York City, attorney
for the Standard Oil Co., is of this line.

A. M. Elliott, 935 North Calvert street, Baltimore, Md., writes
that his stock came from the Carolinas — Wilmington being the
chief centre. We do not know whether he has traced to an
early settler.

13. SERMON OF JOHN ELIOT,

Reported by Cotton Mather.

See pp. 21-24 of "The Life of the Renowned John Eliot . . .
Written by Cotton Mather . . . Boston . . . 1691."

Indeed I can not give a fuller Description of him than what was in
a Paraphrase that I have heard himself to make upon that Scripture,
our Conversation is in Heaven. I writt from him as he uttered it.

"Behold, said he, the Ancient and Excellent Character of a true
Christian; 'tis that which Peter calls Holiness in all manner of Con-
versation ; you shall not find a Christian out of the way of Godly
Conversation. For, first, a seventh part of our time is all Spent in
Heaven, where we are duely zealous for and zealous on, the Sabbath
of God. Besides, God has written on the Head of the Sabbath Remem-
ber; which looks both Forwards and Backwards; and thus a good part
of the week will be spent in Sabbatizing. Well, but for the rest of our
Time ! why, we shall have that spent in Heaven, ere we have done.
For, Secondly, we have many days for both Fasting and Thanksgiving,
in our pilgrimage ; and here are so many Sabbaths more. Morsover,
Thirdly, we have our Lectures every week ; and pious people, won't miss
them, if they can help it. Furthermore, fourthly, We have our private
Meetings wherein we pray, & sing, and Repeat Sermons, and confer
together about the things of God; and being now come thus far, we
are in Heaven almost every day. But a little farther, Fifthly, we per-
form Family-Duties every day; we have our morning and evening
Sacrifices, wherein having read the Scriptures to our Families, we call
upon the Name of God, and ever now and then carefully Catechise
those that are under our Charge. Sixthly, we shall also have our daily
Devotions in our Closets; wherein unto Supplication before the Lord,
we shall add some serious Meditation upon his Word; a David will be
at this work no less than thrice a day. Seventhly, We have likewise
many scores of Ejaculations in a day ; and these we have, like Nehemiah,
in whatever place we come into. Eighthly, We have our Occasional
Thoughts, and our Occasional Talks, upon spiritual matters ; and we
have our Occasional Acts of Charity, wherein we do like the Inhabitants
of Heaven every day. Ninthly, in our Callings, in our civil Callings, we
keep up Heavenly Frames ; we buy and sell and toyl, yea, we eat and
drink, with some eye both to the Command and the Honour of God in
all. Behold I have not now left an inch of time to be carnal; it is all
Engrossed for Heaven. And yet, lest here should not be enough, Lastly,
We have our spiritual Warfare. We are always Encountering the
Enemies of our Souls, which continually raises our hearts unto our
Helper and Leader in the Heavens. Let no man say, 'Tis impossible to
live at this rate; for we have known some live thus; and others that
have written of such a life, have but spun a Web out of their own

blessed Experiences. New-England has Examples of this life; tho,
alas, 'tis to be lamented, that the Distractions of the world, in too
many professors do becloud the beauty of an Heavenly Conversation.
In fine, our Employment lies in Heaven. In the morning, if we ask,
Where am I to be to day? Our Souls must answer, In Heaven. In the
evening, if we ask, Where have I been to day? Our Souls may answer,
In Heaven. If thou art a Believer, thou art no stranger to Heaven
while thou livest; and when thou dyest, Heaven will be no strange
place to thee ; no, thou hast been there a thousand times before".

Cotton Mather adds—: "In this language have I heard him express
himself; and he did what he said; he was a Boniface as well as a
Benedict ; and he was one of those

Qui faciendo docent, quae facienda docent.

It might be said of him, as that Writer characterises Origen, Quae-
madmodum docuit, sic vixit, et quaemadmodum vixit, sic docuit."

14. LETTER OF JOHN ELIOT TO OLIVER CROMWELL.

"To His Excellency, the Lord General Cromwel ; Grace, Mercy, and
Peace be Multiplied.

Right Honorable,

Envy itself can not deny that the Lord hath raised and
improved You in an Eminent manner to overthrow Antichrist, and to
accomplish, in part, the prophecies and Promises of the Churches
Deliverance from that Bondage : In all which Service, the Lord hath
not only kept Your Honor unsteined, but also caused the Lustre of
those precious Graces of Humanity, Faith, Love of Truth, and Love
to the Saints, &c. with which, through His Free Grace, He hath enriched
You, to shine forth abundantly beyond all exception of any that are,
or have been Adversaries to Your Proceedings. Now as the design of
Christ in these daies is double, namely, First; To overthrow Antichrist
by the Wars of the Lamb ; and Secondly, To raise up His own Kingdom
in the room of all Earthly Powers which He doth cast down, and to
bring all the World subject to be ruled in all things by the Word of
His mouth. And as the Lord hath raised and improved You, to accom-
plish (so far as this Work hath proceeded) the first part of His Design,
so I trust that the Lord will yet further improve You, to set upon the
accomplishment of the Second part of the design of Christ; not only
by endeavoring to put Government into the hands of Saints, which the
Lord hath made you eminently careful to do, but also by promoting
Scripture Government and Laws, that so the Word of Christ might
rule all. In which great Services unto the Name of Christ, I doubt
not, but it will be some Comfort to Your heart to see the Kingdom of
Christ rising up in these Western Parts of the World; and some con-
firmation it will be, that the Lord's time is come to advance and spread
His Blessed Kingdom, which shall (in His season) fill all the Earth:
and some incouragement to your heart, to prosecute that part of the
Design of Christ, namely, That Christ might Reign. Such Considera-
tions, together with the Favorable Respect You have alwaies shewed to
poor New-England, had imboldned me to present unto Your Hand,
these first Confessions of that Grace which the Lord hath bestowed upon
these poor Natives, and to publish them under the protection of Your
Name, begging earnestly the continuance of Your Prayers for the
further proceeding of this gracious Work : And so Committing Your
Honor to the Lord, and to the Word of His Grace, and all Your weighty
affairs to His Heavenly Direction, I rest

Your Honors to serve You,

in the Service of Christ

15. LETTERS OF JOSEPH ELIOT.

To the Reverend his good friend Mr. Increase Mather Teacher to the
2d. church in Boston, these.

Reverend Sr — I received before or in winter your letter and your
books, for which I heartily thank you. In perusing your book of
Answer of Prayers I found some things very considerable ; but one
thing I much wondered at, that whereas you give an account of prayers
and answers as in the Masathuset, Plimouth, England, there is not one
word referring to Connecticut, nor is it so much as mentioned in the
whole discourse that I can remember. I suppose you wil say it was
for want of intelligence, and so I believe it was not any design at
concealment, but yet had it not been highly expedient to have sent into
these parts, and have understood what trade of prayer was here driven
by the Saints, before you had printed; for want of which easy duty
I know not but yours may be amiss of some things whereby X1 migh
have been honored; yet I am afraid to be too busy or forward in
managing such pleas as not being altogeither unacquainted with the
deceitfulnesse of heart, which under pretence of X's honor we seek our
own. It can not now be recalled; but I could heartily wish, that in
things of publique and universal import there might be no precipitation
used, but all things maturely weighed, and the best intelligence gained,
lest the world have erudition instead of narratives. But I need not
inlarg upon that matter. I hear you are under a sad visitation of the
poxe. The Lord's anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched
out still. We may even with trembling stand and wait to see what
God wil doe with poor New England. For my own part I durst not
but hope in the name of the Holy One of Israel. I perceive in your
book concerning Church Children you have taken up Dr. Owen's notion
about baptisme. I think it would solve many difficulties if it could be
set clear. I am perswaded the Doctor hath more to say about it than
yet he hath spoken, being but as it were . . . and what he hath said,
laying one thing with another, to the best of my apprehension, is not
far from contradictory. I would be very glad if you or any body would
stir him up to elucidate and elaborate his notions on that subject. I
hope it would be of great use to the Church of God. I hear God hath
made a great breach among you by taking away Mr. Sheapard. I know
not whither he had any thing provided for the presse. I hope his
friends will not be wanting to search, that so if there be, right may be
done both to him and the world. There was a man telling of me within
these few days that it was Strang to observe what a black run of things
had followed the Colledge businesse in reference to the doctor. We
have in these parts some fears of new trouble from the Indians, & how
it is with you and at the eastward, I have not particularly heard. I
would thank you if you would communicate to me not only your own
but your European newes when it comes to hand. I shal not further

Yours in our Savior Joseph Eliot.

Guil : 3 May. 78.

Note by I. Mather. "Received May 18, 78, brought to me by Mr Johns-
ton who found it in the street".

For the Reverend Mr. Mather, Teacher to the 2d. Church in Boston,
these d11.

Guil : July 17, 78.

Reverend Sr, — I received your late letter safely delivered to me, and
not dropped in the street as mine was. As to that first businesse my
scope was to intimate that before such kind of treatises are put forth
as contain aliquid commune, the affairs I mean, or concerns of a people,
it is requisite that there should be such a collection of materials as may
in some measure reach in the extent of the whole, without which both
persons and things are liable to suffer injury; and as that was my scope
so it is still my apprehension, according to which level I think both
your discourse of prayer and of the late warre were put forth with too
much precipitation, and that your book of the former troubles of
the country is farre more elaborate and comprehensive; yet in all these
I have not the least thought of disparaging the usefulnesse of the truths
and ... so farre as they goe, but could have wished that the readers
might have been advantaged with the rest, that by no great expense of
pains might have been superadded haec oportet facere et ilia non omittere.
I perceive you have come in the way of sundry pieces of the Virtuosi.
I say per se they doe elaborate more and greater things than -those you
mention ; yet concerning longitude memory fails me, if I have not read
something of that kind on foot these sundry years (?) I would earnestly
entreat you, out of pity to a famished man, to send me such treatises
historical or philosophical as you have by you, especially that concerning
the designes of a French government in England. I shall carefully
return you. And as a pledge of my care, at last I now send you your
Hudson. I have kept it long, not so much for the sake of the book as
for the learned annotations in the margine, which I am perswaded wil
prove an antispleenetick medicine, beyond most that you have tryed,
especiall in coniunction with the letter at the end pinned on by your
brother and carefully preserved ever since by me. I suppose also after
a view of it you will not easily be perswaded to part with it. Now there
is one thing in my mind that I would propound to you. I did some
years agone see papers of weekly edition after the manner of the
Gazets, under the name of Philosophical Observations by John (Henry)
Oldenburgh, Felow of the Society. Those of them that I saw con-
tained relations and passages exceeding worthy the knowledge. Now if
you could see it in your way to send for the whole of these Collections,
though I know not whither they are still continued, not having seen any
these 6 or 7 years, I am perswaded you would not repent of your cost.

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 287

especially if so much goodnesse might accompany your injoyment as to
be helpful to your poorer sort of neighbors that will be glad to sit down
at the reversion of your table. I do not remember that you returned
any word whether you had met with the story of the late brave Turkish
Vizier. If it be to be had I am stil very desirous of it. If you have
Gorsius ( ?) works by you, doe so much as send out a discourse which
is as I remember about a greater or 3 part of the book in containing
Exhortations to young people, and think if it may not deserve translation,
at least the substance of it. I know not but it might operate the more to
consider that such lively passages are fetched as it were out of the dark
bowels of Popish times. I have seen a small treatise in verse, such as it
is, not over Heliconian, yet honest, printed at Boston, against the
Quakers, by one B. K. whose name I can not unriddle. The continuance
of the poxe, winter and Summer upon you is a very sad and something
unusual dispensation. As to fears of a new warre from the enemie, we
see not much cause of it. By any thing apearing to our view that
murther at New London we can not discern to have any root of danger,
but a mere private act of malice ; yet I desire we may not be secure
especially while the blow upon the Natique Indians is aparent and carries
a hazardous look in it. The blast upon the wheat is more prevalent this
year in these parts than it hath been for sundry years past. It is or
may be a sharp scourg. yet it is better to fal into the hand of the Lord
than into the hand of man. I hope we shal not into both : thus when
I begin I scarce know how to make an end. Were I with you, a little
time would not satisfie me to inquire about the posture of the ministry
and people at Boston, which seems somewhat odde, but such things are
not so fit for writing. When your engine comes from London to advance
speech so incredibly is come, if it wil promote anything toward our
confabulation at this distance, or if it were much nearer than that you
mention in your letter, I should think the better of Squire Morland as
long as I had occasion to think of such things. But I shal grow tedious.
With, therefore the remembrance of choicest respects to yourself and
wife, and desire that our hearts may be stirred up in mutual prayer for
each other, that we may be prepared for our charges and inabled for our
duties through grace and strength from X* Jesus I remain

Yours ever in him, Joseph Eliot.

For the reverend Mr Increase Mather teacher to the 2d church in
Boston, these.

Reverend Sr. — I received your letter in winter, with an almanack
and some verses, for all which I thank you. My letter contained 2
objections, and in hopes you will not refer me to the mercy of the
schoolmaster, I wil tel you my further thoughts about them. To that
that was the 2d, as I placed them, you give sundry answers, which I
readily own have a fair look of satisfaction, viz : that it is no more
strange that Gog and Magog should rise against the heavenly Jerusalem,
than that the angels should rise against God himself, &c, yet I must say

2»» DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

that such answers reach not so fully as .1 could wish, for there is none
of them a full proportion to the case in hand, though the instance of
the angels comes nearest : but I am willing to make most of any thing
that looks Scripturally rational (?). Then for the other objection con-
cerning the burning of the world, and the impossibility of an unmiracu-
lous continuance of the wicked, in case of a general conflagration, I did
not observe any thing in your letter . . . towards an answer. I would
therefore be glad to have your thoughts upon it. 2 things I can see
sayable upon it ; 1 that the world may be supposed to suffer combustion
but in part, as wel as the dead to receive a resurrection but in part,
were there any countenance for it in scripture : a 2d thing is that it may
be taken for a metaphorical combustion which that Allin you mention
insists upon, but truly if the Chiliasm are proved (?), and if no better
answers I shal stil remain in my hesitation ; furthermore I do not see
into the reason of your so much insisting in your letter vpon the dis-
tinction of the personal appearance of X1 and the personal raigne, alowing
the state of that Jerusalem to be perfect heaven, I reach not what is
gained by the distinction, or lost for want of it; a new heaven and earth
I can freely graunt, but a sinlesse heaven is not so clear to me : as for
Medes conjectures of Gog and Magog, I have not seen that peece. If
it be by it selfe in a volume, I should be very glad to obtain a sight of
it, if you would send any by the bearer of this letter, one of my neighbors,
Stephen Bishop, I should return it safe in about a years time, though I
have of myself read ... of Mede, as his comment upon the revelations,
apostacy of the latter times, chappel exercises. I sent for all his works,
but these were all I ... I prefer him before any I have seen for the
solid satis . . . understanding. I am glad your book gives so much con-
tent alread(y) . . . ring of the Church of God is the great thing we
should aim at in our ... is. your sons verses are well spirited, but in
my thoughts he wil never win the laurel for his poesy. I am usually
afraid when I see young men ... be drawn out by a few partial
admirers to their own disadvantage : the state of the country stands
very ticklish. I should be glad to hear there were a spirit of ... or
courage amongst you and of a sound mind. The Lord help us all, that
we may prepare for what looks out upon us, and yet look up to the
God of our salvation. This is all at present.

I am yours in the gospel, Joseph Eliot.

also if any thing from the Royal Society be come to hand I desire the
same favor. Yr is one thing more, I left my wife ill in the Bay, and
have not gained a word of intelligence from her, or about her, since
I came away, and hard it is to gain any, in y5 sad interruption of

yl came last ync, I suppose it may have reached your ear, and it would
be no small favor to let me hear it. No further at present, but only
being glad for the sake of the publique of your having laid aside your

18. MISCELLANEOUS.
NATICK DICTIONARY.

In 1903 the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smith-
sonian Institution published a work by James Hammond Trum-
bull, with an introduction by Edward Everett Hale, being, in
short, a dictionary of the Algonquin languages — the same ones
in which Eliot's Bible was written. We quote from the
introduction :

"Dr. Trumbull's vocabularies constitute the most important contribution
to the scientific study of Eliot's Indian Bible which has been made since
that wonderful book was published."

"Such careful study as Dr. Trumbull and Duponceau and Pickering and
Heckewelder have given to the Algonquin languages shows beyond a
doubt that John Eliot was one of the great philologists of the world.
His study of the remarkable grammatic construction of the Indian
languages proves to be scientific and correct."

"All study of these languages through the century which has just
passed has proved that the elaborate system of grammar was correctly
described by Eliot, and, to the surprise of European philologists, that it
is fairly uniform.

"A Corporation for the Promoting and Propagating of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ in New England", established July 27,
1649. With the restoration of Charles II., it became defunct,
but it was revived under the name of "The Company for the
Propagation of the Gospel in New England and the parts
adjacent in America". Nowadays it is known as the New
England Company. Its work is now carried on in British
America.

This Society, the oldest Protestant Missionary Society in the
world, owes its origin to reports from New England in regard
to the promising labors to convert the Indians to Christianity.
Large collections were made throughout England and Wales,
and legacies were bequeathed, whereby the expense of printing
the Bible and translations of several books in the Indian lan-
guage, and the payment of the salaries of missionaries and
school teachers, was defrayed.

In the appendix to' the Life of John Eliot by the Rev.
Nehemiah Adams, p. 311, it is stated that in 1800, the funds of
the Society amounted to $20,000. In 1847 they were about

twice that sum. At present they are so large that no additions
are called for.

In 1899, the President wrote : — "The business of the Company
is carried on justly and ungrudgingly by its members as it has
been for two and a half centuries without fee or reward of any
kind other than that of a good conscience and doing their
duty."

Propositions aboute appiel and fashions to declare wt is sinful
and offensive. Written by John Eliot in 1658.

1 For the meaner sort of men or women to aime to goe in their app'iel
for matter or for manner, according to the cheaper or wealthier is justly
offensive because it is above theire ranke, ability

2 for any to weare yt app'il here yt for matter or manner did not
beseeme them or those of the same ranke they now are in Old England,
is also justly offensive.

3 notwithstanding this fall of many estates here, we doe not think it
offensive to ware out such app'el as they brought with them provided it
was not above their ranke in England

4 if such provide new, it is offensive to provide it according to their
Estate yt was in England if above wt it is here.

5 Constancy in a fashion is commendable especiall in Christians and
therefore such levity of spirit, as to follow new fashions so soon as they
be in use among the vain youth in our country, or among strangers, it
is a matter particrly offensive.

6. all garish or wanton fashions are justly offensive, as to goe with
brests or wrists naked to an immoderate height.

7 locks and long haire (now in England cal'd rattle heads and opposite
to Christians who weare short haire, all of a length and therefore cal'd
round heads) is an offence to many godly Christians and therefore be it
known to such they walk offensively.

Historic-Genealogical Society. They were printed in the
"Norfolk County Journal", Roxbury, Mass., from the Book
of Records of the Church in Roxbury, Mass., in the handwriting
of John Eliot, "Apostle to the Indians". The context shows
that they were written on, or before "24th of 8th m 1658."

JOHN ELIOT'S RECIPE FOR MAKING INK.

"New England Magazine," New Series, vol. xv, pp. 259-278,
entitled, "John Eliot, the Apostle to the Indians".

A SINCULAS WAY TO MAKE INK.

The spring time is best to make it. the proportions of a quart : Take
a quart of white wine, worte or raine watr 4 ounces of galls quartered,
not powdered 2 ounces of coppras : (or lese) one ounce & halfe of
gumme arabik put these together cold & stir ym often, especially at first —
after 10 weeks straine it throu a cleane harde (hair) cloth. And the
same materials will make as much inke over and over againe, if you put
first vinegar, or old beer strong beer — wirt or water will mould in the
top, wine or old stale beer will not.

A SHEAF OF SONG.

In Memory of Ethel Lynn Beers.

By Josephine Pollard.

The world is full of singers, and they throng

By various ways to reach a common goal,
Each giving to the air such meed of song
As he can best control.

Some wear the golden rose of melody, replete
With fragrance that a subtle charm imparts ;

While others, crowned with violets, warble sweet
To a few friendly hearts.

Some wander to the mountain top sublime,

A loftier inspiration to inhale,
And smile at those who ne'er essay to climb

Above the lowly vale.

And she who with a graceful movement swept
The chords of song to tender melodies,

Assured the world that 'twas a woman kept
Her fingers on the keys.

When all forgotten is the lofty strain
Whose rhymes are woven with ingenious art,

Her words of simple pathos will remain
Engraven on the heart.

And when she strove to bind the sheaf of song
That sweetly blossomed 'neath a kindly sun,

The Master called her from the busy throng;
Her work on earth was done.

While cities turned the leaves she fell asleep,
Nor praise nor blame her quiet slumbers break,

And those who loved her best her songs will keep,
And treasure for her sake.

MONTHLY ADVICE PUBLISHED IN BECKWITH'S ALMANAC.

1851

By Charles Wyllys Elliott.

January.

Now take care of your cattle — remember that a good man is good to

his beast. Now instruct your children — see that your wife does not

become a drudge. Now see to the getting of good seed and guard it from

rats and mice. Look over your fruit bins — send some that is good to

the poor and the sick. Take some to the clergyman, help him to search

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 299

for the truth. Spend a dollar or two in books — don't be afraid of good
ones. See that idleness does not open the door to the devil.

February.
Now is the time to get all ready for spring — the sap of the tree will tend
toward the branches — begin to stir. Warm your blood with work and
not with rum. Sharpen your plows, your hoes, mend your tools, see to
your rake teeth, your own, your childrens, especially. Now get together
all sorts of rubbish for manure — lay it out from the barn-yard in heaps
in your fields when convenient. Now is the time to open your books,
encourage your wife, see what your children are about ; an ounce of
encouragement is worth a pound of fault-finding. Keep your body clean,
and wrench from your mind prejudice and meanness — preach the truth
and practice it.

March.
Now straighten all out for spring — look over tools, seeds, &c, get
fences mended, gates made. Get grafts of good fruits, cuttings of
quinces, currants, &c, — Think seriously about selling our your remain-
ing produce — remember that you cannot always get the highest price. Let
your wife see what a miserable place the city is — bring her some clean
salt for butter — look in upon improved tools, a hint is sometimes as
good as a kick. Now get out your manure, and keep ahead of your work.
Prune your grape vines, trees, &c. — Tie up your raspberries. Read,
even though it is not Sunday, if you can contrive no other work.

April.
Now begin in earnest — plow well ; and plow deep — six inches is not
often too deep, and men have gone eight inches with good results. Plow
worn-out fields, well, and put in clover or rye, to be turned under for
manure. Keep your land up, in good heart. Now plant all your trees,
and examine the roots of peach trees for grubs — begin in the garden with
peas and potatoes. Now prepare for 'lection, and vote for a man who
will do justly, rather than for a party slave. Remember that the truth
alone can make you free.

May.
Now work, for it is diligence which maketh rich; know to-day what
you will do to-morrow ; so the morning, the cream of the day, may be
saved. Remember that this month is the great month for the farmer;
having prepared for it thoroughly, do it intelligently. Now see to the
garden, get in a good supply of peas, beans, tomatoes, cabbages, (possibly
celery) &c, &c. You will find pleasure and profit will result. Look out
well for caterpillars and insects, and let none escape you ; Now, after
planting, take two days for recreation — go to the seaside, if you can.

June.

Now hoe — hoe well. Pay as you go — but don't pay too dear for

experience. Now put in some patches of carrots for winter feed for

300 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT.

cows. You should not be behind with your work, but should have
some leisure to think of what you have done, what you ought to do,
and if you have done wrong, to repent. Now beware of anger, or you
may fall into the hands of lawyers, a class of most unfortunate, if not
worthy men.

July.

Now you should begin to lay by for the winter — a full harvest makes a
glad hearth. Remember that to him to whom much is given, much will
be required. Let us have no more grumbling at God's weather — farm-
ers never starve— a drought is not the greatest evil, neither blight nor
mildew.

Now bud your trees ; grub up briers and thorns. Be careful not to
overwork yourself nor your hands; drink water, but do not drink to
excess. Remember the account of the woman who spent her fortune
upon physicians, but instead of growing better rather grew worse.

August.
Now bethink yourself of hospitality — that much neglected virtue, see
that your poor city cousins get a breath of fresh air. Now be not
ashamed of your oak floors, and your boiled pork upon such glad occa-
sions. Now is the time to plow in weeds, to put in turnip crops, to
bud peach trees and to see that no grubs are in the roots and make
strawberry beds. Use what leisure you have well, and think not alto-
gether of your own pleasure.

September.
Now clear up all brambles and weeds — save all rubbish in your
manure heap. Ditch your marshy ground before the autumn rains. Now
see that your garden is clear from weeds — let everything be done decently
and in order, Don't be afraid when you have leisure to look for Truth —
it may be found in a stable, as often perhaps as in a palace — our of your
party or church as often as in it.

October.
Now you should store up your crops — what do you suppose the win-
ter is for? One design of it is that you may prepare for it. Now top
your corn stalks for fodder — select your seed corn and put it by where
it will not heat — make your potatoes into three lots, one to feed the
cows, one to sell and and one to give away. When the Indian summer
comes go up to the mountains with your wife and praise God.

November.
Now remember how inconvenient it is to make a fire on a cold morn-
ing with a green wood covered with snow, and try to avoid this dreadful
necessity. Provide simple and good clothes for yourself and your
household, and secure the same sort of manners. Look out around you
for the poor and the good-for-nothing; do not let drunkards make

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ELIOT. 301

drunkards and paupers out of their children ; every man is responsible
for his own children, and, in some degree, for those of the incompetent
— every pauper is money out of your pocket. Give thanks not only by
eating well, but by doing well.

December.

Now keep warm and keep well — let every one resolve to live so that
colds and rheumatism will not enter his household. See that your chil-
dren have good books, and do not be afraid to pay for a good teacher —
but remember always that the best education is that which is got at
home.

Now see that cattle, sheep, hens, etc., have good sheds and houses —
see that they do not go hungry and dry as well as cold. There is never
time to be idle — work, read, think! One great purpose of existence is
work — to work in well-doing. Remember that in this month Christ
was born — try to see with your own eyes what his life and death teach ;
and be certain of this, that a Christmas day spent in stuffing one's body
and torturing live turkeys with a gun is a desecration.

THE LAST OF ELIOT'S INDIANS.
A correspondent from Boston writes of the "last of John
Eliot's Indians" in the New York Sun of March 30, 1902.
Mrs. Patience Fidelia Clifton, a widow, seventy-two years old,
resides on Brigham's Hill, Grafton, Mass., the Indian name of
which was Hassanamesitt. She is not purely Indian, as she
has a strain of Negro blood. The Massachusetts Legislature
grants her an annuity of $200, payable through the selectmen
of the town.

POSITIVE PEDIGREE AND AUTHORIZED ARMS.
In a number of the New England Genealogical and His-
torical Register descendants of the following are mentioned
as the only American families having the right to use English
crests and coats-of-arms. Since then a few others have been
added :

Joseph Alsop Rev. John Davenport.

Samuel Appleton. Humphrey Davie.

Thomas Broughton John Drake.

Obadiah Bruce Edmund Fawkener.

Rev. Peter Bulkley. George Fenwick.

Rev. Chas. Chauncey. Wm Gayer.

Leonard Chester. "Wm Hanbury.

As it has never been proved that John Eliot was descended
from the St. Germans branch of the family, the family has no
right to use the crest and coat-of-arms published in the title-page
of the old Eliot genealogy.

EXTRACTS FROM EDWARD EVERETT HALE'S ESTIMATE
OF ELIOT.

"It would seem that we owe to Eliot the establishment of the
first proper Sunday School in America and perhaps one may say
in the English Realm".

[See Part III, "Events in the Life of John Eliot", for the
extract taken from the Roxbury Church records in regard to
the religious instruction of the youth.]

Dr. DeNormandie, pastor of the Eliot Church at Roxbury,
ascribes to Eliot the general establishment of "grammar schools"
among the institutions of Massachusetts. He says : "One day
all the neighboring churches were gathered in Boston to 'con-
sider how the miscarriages which were among us might be
prevented'. Eliot exclaimed with great fervor 'Lord for our
schools everywhere among us ! That our schools may flourish !
That every member of this assembly may go home and procure
a good school to be encouraged in the town where he lives!
That before we die we may be so happy as to see a good school
encouraged in every plantation in the country.' "

Cotton Mather adds :

"God so pleased his endeavors that Roxbury could not live
quietly without a free school in the town". "And the issue of
it has been one thing which has almost made me put the title
of "Schola Ulustrus" upon that little nursery ; that is that Rox-
bury has afforded more scholars, first for the college and then
for the publick, than any town of its bigness — or if I mistake
not, of twice its bigness, in all New-England."

INSTRUCTIONS

TO FIND YOUR RECORD IN PART II.

The numbers in small-sized type run along consecutively through the
book, being interrupted by the numbers in large type only where a male
Eliot appears as head of a family.

// you are an Eliot, look up your name in the Eliot index and from your
birth date find your number. Turn to the corresponding number in small
type and find your record. If you are a female Eliot, your record is in
one place only. If you are a male Eliot and there is a + s'S11 before
your name in the small type, this signifies a continuation and you must
look forward to your number in large type to find your record as head
of a family.

If your name is other than Eliot look it up in Index II., where you
will find opposite to your name not only the number of the Eliot who
was your ancestor, but also a page reference.
