THE
NEW ENGLAND

HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL

REGISTER

JANUARY, 1917
FRANCIS EVERETT BLAKE, LL.D.

By Charles Knowles Bolton, A.B., of Shirley, Mass.

Francis Everett Blake, elected a resident member of the New
England Historic Genealogical Society in 1871 and made a life
member in 1888, died at Worcester, Mass., 14 July 1916. He was
born at Princeton, Mass., 3 August 1839, the son of Pynson and Sally
(Dana) Blake.

Pynson Blake had behind him five generations of Blake ancestors
with the Christian name James, the first being a son of William Blake,
the well-known early settler of Dorchester, Mass. Having kept a
store for a few years at Orange, Mass., Pynson Blake moved in 1824
to Princeton, where he married Sally, daughter of Capt. John and
Lucinda (Mirick) Dana. Of their six children the last two were
twins, Francis Everett and Frederic Dana. While living at Princeton
Pynson Blake was a strong advocate of temperance, and, says his son,
"Believing the use of liquor injurious, he discontinued its sale at his
store at a time when the use of spirits was universal throughout
New England and a staple commodity in every grocery." This
devotion to principle was a strong characteristic of Francis Everett
Blake, whose birth occurred two years before his father moved to the
vicinity of Dorchester Street and Broadway, South Boston.

At the age of thirteen Francis Everett Blake was graduated at the
Boston Latin School, and four years later, in 1856, he became an
office boy in the George W. Wheelwright Paper Company. Here he
advanced by faithful and intelligent service to the position of treas-
urer of the Company, remaining with the firm until ill health forced
him to retire in 1906. After he had been with the firm for ten years,
he married, 27 September 1866, Elizabeth Caroline Richardson, a
friend of his youth and a member of the same church, daughter of
John Drew and Elizabeth (Maynard) Richardson. They had no
children.

Mr. Blake's time was devoted largely to business, his church,
charity, and historical study. In middle life he became greatly
interested in local history, and published in 1884 "Incidents of the
First and Second Settlements of Worcester." This was followed in
1886 by "Rutland and the Indian Troubles of 1723-30." He
published also, in 1893, an authoritative paper on "Lucy Keyes,

VOL. LXXI. 1

4 Francis Everett Blake [Jan.

the Lost Child of Wachusett Mountain," in 1897 a pamphlet called
"Soldiers of the Revolution, Princeton, Mass.," which appeared in
the town report for that year, in 1898 "Increase Blake of Boston, his
Ancestors and Descendants," in 1899 a history of the South Baptist
Church, Boston, and in the same year "Dorchester Neck (now South
Boston): The Raid of British Troops, February 13, 1776." From
time to time he contributed articles to the New England Historical
and Genealogical Register. His chief work, however, was the
preparation of a history of the town of Princeton, which was published
by the town in two volumes in 1915, the first volume being historical
and the second genealogical. To this task he devoted his years of
leisure, equipped as he had become through a long period of study in
early history. The work was exhaustive, accurate, scholarly, and
readable, the result of twenty-five years of labor.

Mr. Blake was a member of the Building Committee of the Ford
Memorial Building in Boston, which was erected in 1905, and there
showed his capacity for business affairs. In the New England
Historic Genealogical Society he was a member of the Committee on
Publications for the years 1885-1888, inclusive, and 1899-1910,
inclusive, a member of the Committee on Memorials for the years
1900-1902, inclusive, and a Councillor for the three years 1894-1896.
As a member of the Committee on Publications he gave invaluable
service, sharing freely his practical knowledge of the making of paper
and the printing of books. In the discussion of difficult problems
and in periods of friction he never failed to exhibit qualities of good
temper, patience, and, in the final adjustment, firmness and decision.
He was a constant advocate of sound business principles in all the
organizations to which he belonged, frequently associating with men
who had less practical experience in the world of affairs than had
fallen to his lot.

There was, however, another side to his character, which revealed
itself in his sympathy with the work of the South Baptist Church in
Boston, with which he connected himself at the age of sixteen. The
Watchman for 19 April 1900 has a sketch of Mr. Blake which appeared
at the time when he severed his relations with the South Baptist
Church and joined the First Baptist Church. In the former he was
treasurer, clerk, and Sunday School superintendent. The Watchman
says: "In an unusual degree he bore the financial burdens of the
church and to his reliable judgment and his generosity its excellent
financial record is largely due." His religious experience has been
told in a recent memorial in The Watchman, where Mr. Nathan F.
Til den says of him: "He never lost interest in his friends, nor the
church of God which he loved. A long career of earnest effort and
steadfast Christian character is a rich legacy to those who knew him
in both his public and his private life."

Mr. Blake was also prominently identified with the education of
negroes in Liberia, West Africa. From 1900 to 1914 he was a mem-
ber of the Board of Trustees of Donations for Education in Liberia.
During this period he was in constant correspondence with Mrs.
Sharp at Mount Coffee and with the presidents of Liberia College,
Monrovia. He entered into all their problems with sympathy and

1917] Morris Families of Western Connecticut 5

understanding, and was so much beloved that Liberia College gave
to him in 1913 the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. He kept
the records of the Board of Trustees of Donations from 1910 to 1914,
and was treasurer from 1906 to 1914.

MORRIS FAMILIES OF WESTERN CONNECTICUT

} By Donald Lines Jacobus, M.A., of New Haven, Conn.

I. The Thomas Morris Family of New Haven

A book published in 1853 and entitled "Memoranda of the De-
scendants of Amos Morris, of East Haven, Conn.," gives the line of
Amos4 Morris (James,3 Eleazer,2 Thomas1 of New Haven, Conn.). A-
more recent compilation, "Genealogy of the Morris Family," pur-
porting to give the descendants of Thomas1 Morris of New Haven,
deals principally with the line of James3 Morris (Eleazer,2 Thomas1)
and the progeny of female lines. It is the purpose of the writer of the
following account of the family of Thomas Morris to correct the
inaccuracies of the last-mentioned volume and to set forth the lines
omitted therein.

1. Thomas1 Morris of New Haven,* who died 21 July 1673,

married Elizabeth , who died, as his widow, in 1681. He was

one of the founders of New Haven, and owned land in that part of
East Haven which was named Morris Cove for his family.

Children, recorded at New Haven:

i. Hannah,2 bapt. 14 Mar. 1642 [? 1641/2]; m. in 1662 Thomas

Ltjpton of Norwalk.

ii. Elizabeth, bapt. 10 Dec. 1643.

2. iii. John, bapt. 8 Mar. 1646 [? 1645/6].

3. iv. Eleazer, bapt. 29 Oct. 1648.
v. Thomas (twin), b. 3 Oct. 1651; d. young,
vi. Ephraim (twin), b. 3 Oct. 1651; d. young.

4. vii. Joseph, b. 25 Mar. 1656.

2. John2 Morris (Thomas1), baptized at New Haven 8 Mar. 1646
[? 1645/6], died 10 Dec. 1711 (gravestone at New Haven).
He married, 12 Aug. 1669, Hannah Bishop, born 29 May
1651, died 12 June 1710, daughter of Deputy-Gov. James and
Mary. The "Morris Family" states (p. 74) that prior to

this marriage he married first Ann , who died 4 Dec.

1664; and secondly, 29 Mar. 1665, Elizabeth Harrison, widow
of John [sic] Lyne and John [sic] Lampson; and that by this
second wife he had a son John3, born 16 Dec. 1666, founder of
the Morris family of Newark, N. J. A large section of the
book is devoted to the descendants of the Newark family.

* All places mentioned in this article are situated within the present limits of the
State of Connecticut, unless another State or region is indicated in the text or may be
easily inferred from the context.

G Morris Families of Western Connecticut [Jan.

But, in reality, it was another John Morris who settled in
New Haven and married first Ann and secondly Eliza-
beth Harrison, widow of Henry Lyne and Thomas Lampson.
With his second wife he removed to Newark, where he died in
1677, leaving two sons, John and Philip. In 1670 John Morris
and his wife Elizabeth, of Newark, conveyed to Jonathan
Lampson of New Haven land formerly belonging to Thomas
Lampson, father to said Jonathan (New Haven Deeds, vol. 1,
p. 29). Since this was subsequent to the marriage of John2
Morris (Thomas1) to Hannah Bishop, it proves that John
Morris of Newark was a separate individual from John2
Morris of New Haven. That John2 (Thomas1) left only
daughters as surviving issue is abundantly proved by probate
and land records.
Children, recorded at New Haven:

i. A daughter,3 b. 19 June 1670; d. in 1670.

ii. Hannah, b. 10 Aug. 1671; m. (1) Sebgt. Joseph Smith, b. 14 June

b. 29 May 1675, d. in 1737.

(p. 167) "removed to Great Barrington, Mass., in 1762,"

and appears in Litchfield County in the Census of 1790. He

and Abigail (Potter).

Children:

xii. Mart, b. in 1760; d. in 1831; m. in 1779 James Dickson, b. at

Cherry Valley, N. Y., 3 Feb. 1756. They removed to Erie Co., Pa.

12. Daniel4 Morris (Thomas,3 Joseph,2 Thomas1), born at New
Haven in Apr. 1715, removed to the parish of Stratfield (now
Bridgeport) in the town of Fairfield, and later to Newtown,
where he died 1 Mar. 1792. He married first, 19 July 1741,
Sarah (Fairweather) Mackhard, who d. 16 Apr. 1761,
widow of Matthew; secondly, 29 Dec. 1761, Prudence

(Somers) Curtis; and thirdly Elizabeth . In 1740

Daniel Morris of Fairfield, with Amos, Asa, Esther, and Eliza-
beth Morris of New Haven, conveyed to their brother Thomas
their rights to lands of their father Thomas, deceased (New
Haven Deeds, vol. 17, p. 3). The town records of New
Haven, Stratford, and Fairfield prove conclusively the parent-
age of Daniel Morris of Fairfield; but, despite this, the
"Genealogical and Family History of the State of Connecticut "
(1911) states (p. 711) that he was born at Bridgeport 7 May
1715, the son of Daniel and Polly (Benjamin), and that the
elder Daniel was born at Boston, Mass., 13 Feb. 1672, and
died at Bridgeport in 1749, the son of Dorman and Elinor
Morris of Boston. The birth of a Daniel, son of Dorman
Morris, is recorded in Boston in 1671,* but there is nothing to
prove that Daniel of Boston or any other Daniel Morris
settled in the neighborhood of Fairfield until Daniel of New
Haven moved to that place about 1740. To him and his
descendants their correct ancestry is here for the first time
assigned.

Children by first wife, born at Fairfield:

i. Mart,5 b. 1 Dec. 1742; d. 30 Nov. 1776.

ii. Sarah, b. 1 Sept. 1745; d. 21 Nov. 1771.

iii. Amos, b. 30 Nov. 1747; d. 7 Dec. 1747.

iv. Daniel, b. 8 Mar. 1748/9; d. 7 May 1749.

16. v. Daniel, b. 13 Dec. 1750.

* Mrs. Lucia R. Fellows of Salt Lake City, Utah, has records showing that this
Boston family was not a Morris family at all. Its progenitor was Dorman Mahoone,
an Irishman who died in Boston in 1661; and members of the family appear on record
under the names of Mathue, Maroone, Mareen, and Morris. The publication of these
records has given rise to a controversy, the outcome of which cannot affect the validity
of the statements in the text above.

II. The Richard Morris Family of Milford

1. Richard1 Morris first appears at Newport, R. I., and it is
believed that his mother was Margaret3 Painter, daughter of Shubael2
and Mercy (Lamberton) (cf. Register, vol. 68, p. 275). His father
may have been of the family of Capt. Richard Morris, a man of note
in early Newport; but the partial destruction of the records of that
town makes anything more than conjecture impossible. According
to the records of Trinity Church, Newport, he married first, 22 Dec.
1717, Elizabeth Atjxeny; and secondly, 24 May 1721, Jean Eddy,
daughter of John. In 1726 he was still of Newport (cf. Register,
ut supra), but on 30 Apr. 1738 Jane, wife of Richard Morris, joined
the Congregational Church at Milford, Conn. In his will, dated
24 Mar. 1759 and proved in May 1759, he named his wife Jane and
his son John, and referred to other children, unnamed (New Haven
Probate Records, vol. 9, p. 247). In Apr. 1767 administration on the
estate of Jean Morrice of Milford was granted to Samuel Basset in
right of his wife Susanna, daughter of the deceased (ib., vol. 10, p.
399). Her estate was insolvent, and among the debts was a sum due
Mercy Morris for nursing.

Very little pertaining to this family is on record at Milford; and
since Samuel Morris (4, ix) of the New Haven family resided there for
a time, it is difficult to identify Richard's children with certainty.
For the benefit, however, of future genealogists the following brief
sketch is appended.
Children:
i. Susanna,2 m. Samuel Bassett of Milford.

2. ii. John.

3. iii. Thomas (probably s. of Richard).

4. iv. Joseph (probably s. of Richard).

5. v. George (probably s. of Richard), b. abt. 1731.
'; vi. Mercy, d. at Milford 25 Mar. 1778.

vii. David (probably s. of Richard). On 4 Mar. 1780 a private recorder
of Milford mortality noted that he had heard of the death of David
Morris in captivity.

2. John2 Morris (Richard1) lived in that section of Milford later

incorporated into the town of Woodbridge. He married at
Woodbridge, 12 Nov. 1750, Sybil Newton. The record of
his family is incomplete. Clarania, daughter of a John Morris,
was baptized at New Milford in 1769.
Children :

i. Richard3 (probably s. of John), d. at Milford in 1825, aged 63; m.

Sarah , who d. at Milford, as his widow, in May 1847,

aged 94.

6. ii. Newton John.

3. Thomas2 Morris (? Richard1) died at Wallingford 21 Apr. 1777.

He married Sarah , who was buried at Wallingford

(Cheshire), as his widow, 7 Aug. 1777. He lived in that part
of "Wallingford which later became the town of Cheshire, and
his burial is recorded in the Cheshire church records under

1917] Morris Families of Western Connecticut 17

date of 22 Apr. 1777. On 4 May 1777 the Milford recorder of
deaths noted the death of Thomas Morris, "once of Milford,"
thus proving that he belonged to the Milford family.

Children (record incomplete) :
i. William,3 m. at Wallingford, 16 Oct. 1777, Rebecca Pebkins, dau.

iof John and Dorcas (Brooks). He removed from Cheshire to
Waterbury, where he appears in the .Census of 1790 with six males
under sixteen years of age and two females in his family. About
1800 he removed to Hampton, N. Y. Children: 1. Thomas* b.
10 Apr. 1778. 2. Shubael, b. 17 Nov. 1779.
ii. Solomon, m. at Cheshire, 24 Feb. 1780, Kezia Moss. In 1778 he
and William Morris bought land in Waterbury (Waterbury Deeds,
vol. 17, p. 277), but it is doubtful if he removed thither. He
settled at Warsaw, N. Y.

4. Joseph2 Morris (? Richard}) probably married Sarah

who married secondly John Marchant of Waterbury. Joseph
Morris served in 1762 in the French and Indian War. The
death is recorded at Milford of a Joseph Morris at Seabrook,
10 Nov. 1776, and of another Joseph Morris, 3 Jan. 1778. On

9 Feb. 1796r Sarah Marchant of Milford and David Morris of
Waterbury conveyed to James Rylee their rights in the h6use
and garden of Joseph Morris of Milford, deceased (Milford
Deeds, vol. 19, p. 425). On 10 May 1796 David Morris of
Waterbury conveyed to James Rylee the rights that John
Morris had in the house and garden of Joseph Morris of Milford,
deceased (ib., vol. 19, p. 424). On 14 Nov. 1796 Elisha Morris
of Milford conveyed to Bryan Gillett his rights in a house and
garden (ib., vol. 20, p. 553). It seems likely that the names
of the widow and three sons of Joseph Morris appear in these
deeds. It is known that the Sarah Marchant of the first-
mentioned deed was mother of David Morris of Waterbury,
for on 7 Feb. 1796 (two days prior to the date of this deed) the
latter conveyed to his mother, Mrs. Sarah Marchant, the east
room in his house (Waterbury Deeds, vol. 25, p. 335).

The death of a wife of a Joseph Morris, aged 22, is recorded
at Milford, 12 Apr. 1805; but the identity of this Joseph has
not been established.

Children :

7. i. David.8

ii. John. In 1791 he conveyed land in Salem (Waterbury Deeds, vol.
23, p. 31), then a parish in Waterbury, now the town of Nauga-
tuck.

iii. Elisha, m. , whose death is recorded at Milford, 27 Aug.

1821, aged 54. The death of a child is recorded in 1812. Chil-
dren, bapt. at Milford 4 Sept. 1808: 1. Aaron* 2. Jared. 3.
Melinda. 4. Andrew.

George2 Morris (? Richard1), born about 1731, died at Milford

10 Mar. 1776. He married Eunice Plumb, daughter of John
and Kezia (Ailing). On 30 Apr. 1754 John Plumm conveyed
land to his daughter Eunice, wife of George Morris (Milford
Deeds, vol. 12^, p. 555) ; and he also left to her a legacy in his
will, dated in 1762 and proved in 1763 (New Haven Probate
Records, vol. 10, p. 51). In Oct. 1773 it is recorded that

18 Morris Families of Western Connecticut [Jan.

George Morris of Milford, by the long illness of his wife, was
reduced and had come to want; and that he, his wife, and
two small children had been under the care of the selectmen
(Colonial Records of Connecticut, vol. 14, p. 200). The death
of a Widow Morris is recorded at Milford, 9 Sept. 1781.
Children:

Milford, 19 May 1754. On 15 Aug. 1804 David Morris of Derby
mortgaged his home to John Plumb Morris of New York, N. Y.
(Derby Deeds, vol. 17, p. 100) ; and on 7 May 1819 John P. Morris
of New York, with his wife Abigail, quitclaimed this property to
the widow and children of David (#>., vol. 22, p. 34).

Thomas, born about 1772, died in 1808, daughter of Reuben and
Rhoda (Clinton) ; and secondly Amelia Thomas, born about 1771,

THE HALIBURTON FAMILY

By Rev. Aethur Wentwobth Hamilton Eaton, M.A., D.C.L., of Boston, Mass.

1. Andrew1 Haliburton, Hallyburton, or Halyburton, for
many years an innkeeper in Boston, was born probably in Berwick-
shire or Roxburghshire, Scotland, towards the close of the seventeenth
century, and died in Jamaica in 1745.* He married first, in Boston,
23 Feb. 1719/20, Rev. Benjamin Colman of the Brattle Street
Church officiating, Naomi FiGGjf and secondly, at Scituate, Mass.,
22 Feb. 1730/1, Abigail Otis, born at Scituate 28 Aug. 1703, died,
probably at Newport, N. S., not long before 1769, daughter of Job
and Mary (Little) .% Abigail (Otis) Haliburton married secondly,
in Narragansett, R. I., 18 Oct. 1756, as bis second wife, Dr. Edward
Ellis, and more information about her will be given below.

Of the immediate ancestry of Andrew Haliburton nothing certain
is known; but a tradition remains among his descendants that he
himself stated that his father was one of the Duke of Marlborough's
captains and was killed at the siege of Dunkirk, and that thereafter the
boy lived with his paternal grandfather. In what place he was brought
up is unknown, but he is said to have told his children that he lived

* In the General Registry Office, Jamaica, is recorded the burial, in St. Andrew's
Parish, 2 Sept. 1745, of Andrew Hallaburton, probably the Andrew Haliburton of
Boston, who is known to have died in Jamaica about that time. (Vide infra, p. 59.)
Cf. p. 34 of manuscript notes on the Avery and other families, by the late J. Herbert
Sawyer of Brookline, Mass., in the Library of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society.

t Her Christian name was probably not Naomi, as the Boston records give it, but
Amey or Amy, as it appears in the baptismal records of her children in King's Chapel.
She was probably a daughter of John Figg, cooper, of Boston, and his wife Amy,
although according to tradition in the Haliburton family the first wife of Andrew
Haliburton had been married before her marriage to Andrew Haliburton. Little is
known about the Figg family. Administration on the estate of John Figg, late of
Boston, who had died at sea in 1677, was granted, 31 July 1677, to his widow, Mary,
and from the inventory, rendered 3 Aug. 1677, it is learned that Mary's father had
probably lived at Newbury. A John Figg and his wife Anne had children: John, born
in Boston 5 Nov. 1684, and Joseph, born in Boston 6 Mar. 1686 (? 1685/6], A John
Figg and his wife Amey had a child James, born in Boston 13 Feb. 1687 [? 1686/7],
but the wife Amey would have been too old to bear children to Andrew Haliburton in
or after 1721. A John Figg, cooper, with a daughter Sarah, was living in Boston
28 July 1712, and a John Figg was living 17 Aug. 1732. (Cf. Suffolk Probate Records.)
Joseph Figg and Mercy Holland were married in Boston by Mr. Benjamin Wadsworth,
16 Sept. 1708.

281-296, and vol. 4, pp. 143-165.

in Scotland but went to school every day across the border, in Eng-
land. Apparently no systematic effort to trace his ancestry has ever
been made.*

The first record of Andrew Haliburton in Boston is that of his first
marriage, 23 Feb. 1719/20. In a suit which he enters against Benja-
min Gray, bookseller or stationer, 10 Jan. 1722 [? 1722/3], he is
designated as a wigmaker, and in another suit against John Hobart,
entered 20 Sept. 1725, his occupation is the same (Suffolk court
records) ; but as early as the summer of 1734, and probably three or
four years earlier, he had become a licensed innkeeper or "innholder."
On 24 July 1734 the selectmen of Boston approved and recommended
Andrew Halyburton for a license to keep a tavern; and on 6 Aug.
1735 they notified the selectmen of Roxbury and all persons concerned
to meet at the house of "Mr Andrew Halyburton at the Sign of the
George on Boston Neck" at 11 A.M. on 18 Aug. current, to run the
boundary line between Boston and Roxbury. On 18 Feb. 1735/6
it was ordered by the selectmen of Boston "That an advertisement
for Leasing a Messuage or Tenement with Several Peices of Land on
Boston Neck, be printed in the Publick News Papers, Which said
Land &c were lately Leased to Simon Rogers Deceased, and are now
in the Tenure and Occupation of Andrew Halyburton which said
.< Lease will Expire the 8th of January 1736 [1736/7]." Among inn-

holders who had petitioned for licenses to sell strong drink and who
were approved and recommended by the selectmen, 18 Aug. 1736,
was Andrew Halyburton, who dwelt on Ship Street. On 17 Aug.
1738 Andrew Halyburton was again approved and recommended by
the selectmen as an innholder, with license to sell strong drink, his
dwelling [the Sun Tavern] being then in Dock Square. On 29 Nov.
1742 favorable action was taken by the selectmen on the petition of
Mr. Andrew Halyburton for liberty to keep a tavern in the house
[on Cornhill] where the late Dr. Boylston had lived, the petitioner
being obliged, as he says, to remove from the Sun Tavern, which he
had previously been licensed to keep. On 5 Jan. 1742/3 Mr. Robert
Logan complains that Mr. Halyburton has put up a "Sign Post"
at the house he lives in, formerly Dr. Boylston's, "which greatly
incommodes the Sight of his Shop," and on 23 Aug. 1743 Haliburton
was still at this house on Cornhill. In the records of King's Chapel
for the year 1748, however, it is stated that a meeting of the wardens
and vestry of that church was held on Thursday, 31 Mar., at Mr.
Hallyburton's in King Street, f At this time Haliburton was dead,
and, unless the records mistakenly give "Mr." for "Mrs." Hali-

* Of the Haliburton family of Newmains and Mertoun, Scotland, Sir Walter Scott,
as is well known, claimed the representation; and Sir Walter's father, also, Mr. Walter
Scott, writer to the Signet, was evidently not a little interested in the family. On
page 63 of Genealogical Memoirs of the Family of Sir Walter Scott, Bart., of Abbots-
ford, in a note introducing some valuable memoranda concerning Haliburton families,
it is said that the memoranda were taken from a manuscript of Mr. Walter Scott, the
father, which appeared "to have been drawn up in answer to the inquiries of Mr.
William Haliburton of Halifax [sic], Nova Scotia, who claimed a descent from the
Haliburtons of Hadden." In the late J. Herbert Sawyer's manuscript notes (tide
supra, p. 57, footnote) is a record from the General Registry Office, Jamaica, of the
burial, 15 Mar. 1742 [? 1742/3], of an Andrew Haliburton who, Mr. Sawyer thought,
might have been a son of Andrew Haliburton, writer to the Signet, Edinburgh.

burton, it is necessary to believe that, before he finally left Boston,
Haliburton kept an inn on King Street, and that the place retained
his name after his death.

Of town offices Andrew Haliburton held only those of scavenger,
to which he was chosen 10 Mar. 1740/1, and hogreeve, to which he
was chosen 9 Mar. 1741/2.

During the Rev. Commissary Roger Price's ministry at King's
Chapel Andrew Haliburton was a parishioner of that church, and
there four, at least, of his nine children were baptized.*

In the Suffolk court records papers may be seen connected with
various lawsuits instituted by Hahburton as an innholder, one being
a suit brought by "Andrew Halyburton, gentleman," against Henry
Venner, apothecary, in Jan. 1739/40, and another, the latest, brought
by "Andrew Hahburton, innholder," against John Green, 15 June
1744.

Not long after bringing this latest suit Hahburton and his wife
went to the island of Jamaica. Whether or not their intention was
to keep an inn there is not known; but they could not have been long
in the West Indies when Andrew Hahburton died and was buried in
Jamaica, f That the Haliburtons did not take all their children with
them when they left Boston, if indeed they took any, is shown by
the papers in a suit brought by Andrew Oliphant of Boston, 15 Apr.
1746, against Abigail Halyburton, widow, of Kingston, in the Island
of Jamaica, for £360, for the board, at 40s. a week, of her three
children, "Andrew, Billie, and George."

Not long after this suit was brought against her, Mrs. Hahburton
came back to Boston, for on 2 Feb. 1746/7 she sued Capt. Peter
Oliver, a seaman, for a debt which he had contracted, very hkely by
boarding at her house. On 20 June 1750 Mrs. Hahburton presented
to the selectmen the following petition, which is preserved in the
Suffolk court records:

"To the HonbIe His Majestys Justices of the Court of General Sessions of
the peace for said County, and to the Gentlemen Selectmen of the Town of
Boston.

"The Petition of Abigail Halyburton of Boston widow Sheweth
"That your Petitioners husband in his lifetime and your pef since his
decease were for many years favoured by your Honours with a License to
keep Tavern in the Town of Boston, which, she would mention with great
Thankfulness as this Business gave a very comfortable support to them and
their children, that since your petitr last renewed her License she has removed

who last kept it his Liquas, utensils &c. and is well provided with Beds &c.
necessary for such an house and as she has kept a Tavern in Town for near

she now prays your Honours will be pleas'd to Grant her Liberty to be an

* In 1747 the Widow Abigail Haliburton subscribed £100, old tenor, towards
rebuilding King's Chapel, and in April and May of that year the heirs of Andrew
Hallyburton are said to have owned half a pew in the church, one Cooper owning the
other half.

to keep good Orders, and in every respect observe the Laws made for the
Regulation of such Houses.
"And your pet1 as in Duty bound shall pray, &c.

"Abigaill Hallyburton."

Mrs. Haliburton's petition for a license to keep the Three Horse
Shoes Tavern was granted; but according to family tradition she
soon removed from that hostelry to a dwelling house owned and until
shortly before occupied by Dr. Edward Ellis, at the southwest corner
of the present Washington and Winter Streets. Dr. Ellis, who was
one of the chief physicians of Boston,* had been commissioned by
Governor Shirley, 19 Feb. 1744/5, as surgeon general of the Massa-
chusetts troops sent against Louisburg, and on 25 Feb. 1744/5 had
been also commissioned as major and captain in the Third Massa-
chusetts Regiment.t When the siege of the French fortress began,
he had gone to Cape Breton. During Dr. Ellis's absence at Louis-
burg his wife died; and the care of her daughters, together with two
children of a deceased sister of hers, surnamed Hope, whose husband
seems to have been a Hollander, was assumed by Thomas Kilby,
whose wife, a sister of Dr. Ellis, had died, leaving him with two
motherless children. Before long it was arranged between Mr.
Kilby and Mrs. Haliburton that the latter should remove her large
family to Dr. Ellis's house and should also take to board there Mr.
Kilby and the Kilby, Ellis, and Hope children. Mrs. Haliburton's
own family consisted of four children of her own, a daughter of her
late husband by bis first wife, and a " daughter of that wife by a former
husband," and in charge of this large household, now numbering at least
fourteen, Dr. Ellis found Mrs. Haliburton, when he returned to Boston
after a somewhat prolonged stay in Cape Breton or Nova Scotia. X
Soon some business connected with the property of the Hope children
demanded that Dr. Ellis go to Holland, and for that country he em-
barked. On the night of 7 Feb. 1753, as Drake tells us,§ a destructive
fire occurred near Marlborough Street. It started in an outhouse,
and burned two stables, Mr. Sellon's blacksmith shop, and the
dwellings of Dr. John Cutler and Dr. Edward Ellis. From Dr.
Ellis's house nothing whatever was saved; and Mrs. Haliburton,
hearing that the proprietor of a "coffeehouse" (probably an inn such
as she had been accustomed to keep) in Newport, R. I., desired to
give up business, made a bargain for the "coffeehouse," and with fine
determination and courage moved her large family to the Rhode
Island town. When Dr. Ellis returned to America, he found Mrs.

* Dr. Edward Ellis, eldest son of Dr. Robert and Elizabeth (Pemberton) Ellis, was
bom in Boston 23 Feb. 1698/9, and was baptized in the Old South Parish. His father
was "chirurgeon" in the expedition against Port Royal in 1710. He married (1)
Mary (Willard) Cuyler, daughter of Daniel and Mary (Mills) Willard and widow
(with a romantic history) of a young West India planter named Cuyler. By his first
wife Dr. Ellis had three daughters, Maria, born 1 May 1730, Sarah, born 22 Aug. 1733,
and Elizabeth, born 22 Mar. 1734/5. For the Ellis family see Sarah Elizabeth Tit-

The Haliburton Family

61

Haliburton at Newport, and on 18 Oct. 1756 Dr. Ellis and Mrs.
Haliburton were married by Rev. Dr. MacSparran in the parish of
St. Paul, Narragansett.*

When the offer of lands in Nova Scotia to New England people
was made by Governor Lawrence and bis Council, a large number of
Rhode Island as well as Connecticut and Massachusetts people
determined to remove to the Acadian province; and, with many others
in Newport, Dr. Ellis and his wife migrated. On 21 July 1761 he
received a grant of 500 acres at Newport, N. S., and there he settled, f
He probably made in all three journeys to Holland on business; at
any rate, after the death of his wife Abigail, which occurred probably
not long before 1769, he went to Amsterdam, where he died at the
age, it is said, of seventy years.
Children by first wife:

i. Mart,2 d. 6 Nov. 1721, aged abt. 10 months; bur. in King's Chapel

Burying Ground,
ii. William, bapt. in King's Chapel Parish 17 July 1724; probably

d. young,
iii. Rooksby (a daughter), bapt. in King's Chapel Parish 28 Jan.

1725/6; d. unm. in Boston 14 Mar. 1801, aged 754

Children by second wife:

iv. Andrew. The only known record of this child is in the suit brought
in 1746 by Andrew Oliphant against Mrs. Abigail Haliburton for
her children's board. §

v. Abigail, b. in Boston between 1731 and 1735 (whether she was older
or younger than her brother Andrew is uncertain); living 5 July
1803, when she made her will; m. (1) at Newport, R. I., 24 July
1754, Capt. Frederick Hamilton, perhaps s. of the Frederick
who m. in King's Chapel, Boston, 29 May 1734, Mary Jeffries;
m. (2), as his second or third wife, Jacob Sheafe, a prominent
merchant of Portsmouth, N. H., b. in 1715, d. 26 June 1791
(Wentworth Genealogy, vol. 2, p. 307), who had m. 24 July 1740,
as his first or second wife, Hannah Seavy, b. in 1719, d. at Ports-

* Updike's Narragansett Church, second edition, vol. 2, p. 555. The parish register
says that Mrs. Ellis "was Daughter of Mr Job otis of Scituate in ye Province of ye
Massachusets and had for her first Husband one Mr Hallyburton who died in Jaimaca
where they lived a while."

t Of Dr. Ellis's three daughters, Maria, the eldest, had already married Capt.-
Lieut. Edmund Watmough, an Englishman, who had come to Newport, R. I.,
and had secured there a commission in the "Rangers." In 1761 Captain Watmough,
whose name appears among Falmouth grantees as "Edward Watemough," secured a
grant of 500 acres at Falmouth, N. S., having probably been in Nova Scotia at an
earlier date, with a corps of the "Rangers," and having then learned the value of the
French lands. After the removal of the Ellises to Nova Scotia the second daughter,
Sarah, became the second wife of Mr. Isaac Deschamps, who had come to Windsor,
N. S., as a young man and in 1785 rose to be chief justice of the Province. The third
daughter, Elizabeth, married (1) 25 Sept. 1757 Capt. Peter Jacob Dordin, who died
23 Jan. 1769, and (2) at Newport, R. I., 17 Jan. 1773, Peter Francis Christian de Les
Dernier of Windsor, N. S. Elizabeth Ellis had several children by each husband.
Her daughter, Harriet de Les Dernier, married William Pepperrell Prescott and was
the grandmother of the well-known writer, Harriet Prescott Spofford. Another
daughter, Anne Maria de Les Dernier, married, as his second wife, Lieut. Pierson
Titcomb and was the grandmother of Miss Sarah Elizabeth Titcomb, author of Early
New England People, a book in which much information about the Ellises and allied
families may be found.

J That Rooksby was a daughter is 6hown by her appearance as a woman sponsor
at the baptism in King's Chapel Parish of Richard Hunter, child of James and Mary
Hunter, 17 May 1749. In the record of her death she is called Rusby.

§ Vxde supra, p. 69. Perhaps this Andrew is the son of whom Harriet Prescott
(in Miss Titcomb's Early New England Families, p. 37) writes: "Her Other son, —
a wild, headstrong boy, as I have heard, — left home at an early age, and was seen or
heard from no more."

and baptized in King's Chapel Parish 20 May 1739, died at
Windsor, N. S., in Feb. 1817. He married, 9 Apr. 1761, his
first cousin, Susanna Otis, born at Scituate, Mass., 15 Apr.
1738, living as late as 1814, daughter of Ephraim and Rachel
(Hersey).*

William Haliburton's name appears on a muster roll, dated
Boston, 28 Feb. 1759, of a company of foot under Capt. Joseph
Billings in Capt. Joseph Williams's regiment, raised in
Massachusetts for the reduction of Canada. In this company
he served as a private, from Boston, from 13 Apr. to 23 Nov.
1759, a little more than seven months. On 21 July 1761 he
appears with his stepfather, Dr. Edward Ellis, and many
other Rhode Island people, in the great grant of the township
of Newport, N. S., and thither he and his wife shortly after
their marriage removed. Until the spring of 1763, probably,
they lived on their Newport grant of 500 acres; but on 1 May
1763 Mr. Haliburton exchanged his Newport grant for the
land of Jonathan Babcock, in what is now Windsor, N. S., and
at or near the village of this name he built a new house and
spent the rest of his life, f In Windsor he began the study of

* Rachel Otis, sister of Mrs. Susanna (Otis) Haliburton, was married at Windsor,
N. S.t 16 Mar. 1769, to Benjamin DeWolf, born 14 Oct. 1744, son of Simeon and Parnell
(Kirtland), and became the ancestress of an important family of DeWolf s at Windsor,
for which see Eaton's History of King's County, Nova Scotia, pp. 630-632. In
Register, vol. 41, p. 221, it is stated that Jehiel DeWolf married Rachel Otis, but this
is incorrect. For Jehiel DeWolf's marriages see History of King's County, p. 637.

In his will, dated 6 Oct. 1814 and proved 7 Nov. 1816, Dr. Ephraim Otis of Scituate,
Mass., who died 21 Oct. 1816, aged 63, brother of Susanna (Otis) Haliburton and
Rachel (Otis) DeWolf, bequeathed to the heirs of Rachel DeWolf of Windsor, N. S.,
54,000, to Susannah Haliburton, wife of William Haliburton of Windsor, 55,000 (to be
equally divided between her son, W. H. O. Haliburton, and her daughter, Abigail
Fales), and also to W. H. O. Haliburton $1,000.

t In his Sketch of the Old Parish Burying Ground of Windsor, Nova Scotia (1889),
pp. 91-92, Dr. Hind writes: "Before me lies a covenant bearing date May 1st, 1763,
by which William Hallyburton, Gentleman, exchanges his farm lot on ' the River
Kennetcook, Letter F., Number 3, the 2nd Division, with the Marsh and Dyke with the
same,' for the 'Farm lot, on the River Pisiquid, Letter A., No. 3, in the second Division,

law, and in time he became judge of probate for Hants
County, an office which he held until his death.

In an interesting Haliburton manuscript deposited many-
years ago in the Library of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society Miss Georgina Haliburton {vide infra,
11, ii) wrote: "William was a boy of fine intellectual promise,
but showed no special inclination to any one pursuit. He
was fond of adventure, and a pioneer's fife would have suited
him well. He began the study of medicine and surgery; but
when he was nineteen an expedition was formed against the
Indians, and throwing aside his studies he went as a volunteer
surgeon with a company of young men and joined the expedi-
tion. After some months campaigning he returned unhurt,
and his mother, f eeling great anxiety lest his love of adventure
should increase, strongly encouraged his early attachment
to his cousin Susanna Otis. ... At last the marriage took
place, and the couple had a long and happy married life."
Miss Haliburton then narrates the settlement of the young
couple in Nova Scotia. She says that they sailed from Boston
to Halifax, taking with them provisions for eighteen months,
tents, furniture, spinning wheels, a loom, farming implements,
and two negroes from the household of Mrs. Haliburton's
father. From Halifax they travelled on horseback a distance
of forty miles, along the narrow French road, the wife seated
on a pinion behind her husband. For a few months they and
their servants lived in tents, but finally they built a two-
story frame house, the foundation and posts of which were
logs, the walls being clapboarded. Mr. Haliburton's death
occurred, it is said, sometime in Feb. 1817. The date of
Mrs. Haliburton's death is not known.

In this narrative by Miss Haliburton there are, probably,
some inaccurate statements. It is known that Dr. Ellis and
his family sailed from Newport, R. I., for the Nova Scotia
shore of the Bay of Fundy, as did a great many other people
in 1760 and 1761; and it is probable that the Haliburtons
also reached Newport, N. S., by the same route. It would be
very unreasonable to suppose that they sailed from Boston
to Halifax, for the road from Halifax to Newport and
"Windsor was at that time almost impassable, and the other

exclusive of the Dyke, Marsh, and Village Lot drawn with the same,' belonging to
Jonathan Babcock. This covenant was witnessed by Edward Ellis and George
Hallyburton, and certified by Isaac Deschamps on the 5th of July, 1764. The writing
of both William and George Hallyburton is very good."

From Mr. George Mullane the compiler of this article learns that in the Crown
Land Office at Halifax there is recorded a grant to William Hallyburton, in Mar. 1772,
of 1/4 acre in the township of Windsor. (Book 9, fo. 293, and Book 10, fo. 16.) There
is also a grant to William Halliburton, 22 Apr. 1783, of 30,000 acres on the Kennetcook
River. (Book 13, fo. 26.) A petition from William Haliburton to the House of
Assembly, dated Mar. 1798 and covering about twelve pages of letter paper, refers to
certain lands granted to him and others in Douglas, Hants Co., and also to a petition of
Hector McLean for himself and others respecting lands said to have been granted to
Lieutenant-Colonel Small in trust for the disbanded 84th Regiment. The petitioner
intimates some irregularity in the proceedings relative to those lands and certain
defects of title, and prays the interposition of the Assembly in the matter. He com-
plains of hard usage by the former soldiers.

settlers from Rhode Island sailed up the Bay of Fundy to the
Avon River and landed somewhere near Fort Edward, in the
township of Windsor. From a letter from Hon. Charles
Morris to Mr. Isaac Deschamps, dated 31 Mar. 1761, it
appears that a certain Captain Maloney, who was then
concerned in bringing settlers from Connecticut and Rhode
Island to Nova Scotia, was ordered to bring Dr. Ellis and his
family to Newport, N. S., if they were ready to come*

In the Library of the Massachusetts Historical Society is
a long manuscript letter from William Haliburton to Rev.
Jeremy Belknap, dated 1 Sept. 1796, in which the writer
describes a "floating anchor" and a movable apparatus for
putting out and taking in the anchor in all weathers, which
he had lately invented.

Parish, Boston, 23 Jan. 1742/3, died, probably at Exeter,
N. H., between 6 Nov. 1813 and 3 Apr. 1814. He married
first, at Horton, N. S., 27 Sept. 1766 (Horton township book),
Ann Avert, born at Lebanon, Conn., 25 June 1747, living
in 1802, daughter of Robert and Ann (Cushman) ; J and
secondly Mary Gale, widow, of Exeter, N. H., who died at

children, Enoch Gale, Amos Gale, and C. P. Gale (deceased),
Martha, widow of C. P. Gale, and Mary and Charles, children
of C. P. and Martha Gale.

Without doubt George Haliburton went to Nova Scotia in
1761 with his mother and stepfather and his brother William.
He received no grant of land, nor does he seem to have been
a farmer, but from 1769 to 1774 he served as schoolmaster for
Windsor and Newport under the direction and in the pay of

the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.
In 1769 Rev. Joseph Bennett, missionary of this Society at
Windsor, wrote to the Society that Mr. Watts, the Society's
schoolmaster, " being better provided for, has quitted the school
and Mr. Halliburton is put in his room." In 1766 George
Haliburton was registrar of probate for King's County,*
Isaac Deschamps being judge of "His Majesty's Court of
Wills." The next year, however, George Deschamps, son of
Isaac, succeeded George Haliburton as registrar of probate.
A plan in the Crown Land Department at Halifax, dated
10 Apr. 1775, is signed "p. me George Hallyburton, Dep.
Sur.," the inference from this being that a deputy-surveyor-
ship in the Province was held by him.f In the census of
King's County for 1770 the family of George Haliburton is
given as consisting of one man, one woman, two boys, and
one girl. At what time George Haliburton removed from
Nova Scotia to New England is not known, but in 1797 he
bought a house in Exeter, N. H., and in that year, for the first
time, was taxed in that town. It was probably this George
Haliburton who on 24 June 1804 was a sponsor at the baptism,
in King's Chapel Parish, Boston, of Samuel Bradford Fales
(vide supra, 2, v. 2). In his will (vide infra) he calls himself
"Mariner," and according to the late J. Herbert Sawyer, who
spent much time gathering facts concerning this branch of
the Haliburton family, he became a sea captain and sailed
from Portsmouth, N. H. J

In his will, dated 6 Nov. 1813 and proved 3 Apr. 1814,
"George Halliburton § of Exeter," N. H., "Mariner," mentions
his wife Mary, whom he appoints sole executrix, and to whom
he leaves the residue of his personal estate not otherwise
bequeathed and all of his real estate for life; his sons George-
Halliburton, Andrew Halliburton, and John Halliburton (if
he be living), who, together with the children of his daughter
Ann McClintock, deceased, are to receive all his real estate
at the death of his wife; his granddaughters Ann McClintock,
Caroline McClintock, and Emily McClintock; his daughters-
in-law Mary Halliburton and Elizabeth Halliburton; and his
wife's son Charles Pinkney Gale. At the settlement of the
estate of the widow, Mary Haliburton, in February and
March 1843, the real estate of her late husband, George
Haliburton, which had been in her possession, was appraised

§_ The Portsmouth Haliburtons for a long time, as the will of this testator and that
of his son Andrew (6) show, commonly spelled their surname "Halliburton." In her
later years Miss Georgina Haliburton (11, ii), granddaughter of Andrew (6), is said to
have reverted to the traditional spelling with one I, "Haliburton." In Nova Scotia
the spelling "Halliburton" has been uniformly used for the family of Dr. John Halli-
burton, who married Susannah Brenton and came from Newport, R. I., to Halifax,
N. S., in 1782, while the name of the family treated in this article has in later times
rarely been spelled otherwise than "Haliburton." However, in early records, both
in Nova Scotia and in New England, the spelling "Hallyburton" is frequently found
in the family of Andrew1 of Boston.

notice: "In Windsor, N. S., after a most painful illness, W. H. O. Halliburton, Esq.,
Chief Justice of Courts of Common Pleas and General Sessions of the Peace, for the
middle division of Nova Scotia, aged 62."

% Maj. Alexander Grant was a Scotch veteran, who had served under Wolfe at
Quebec in 1759 (3 Proceedings of the Royal Society of Canada, vol. 3, p. 44) and fought
on the British side in the American Revolution, probably in the 42d Regiment. He
"feU dead in gallantly storming Fort Montgomery." From 1777 to 1783 his family
is said to have lived at Newtown, Long Island, N. Y. In the latter year Mrs. Sarah
Grant, widow of Alexander, went with her three daughters to Annapolis Royal, N. S.,
in company, it is believed, with Col. Joshua Chandler, a Loyalist from New Haven,
Conn., and his family, and, no doubt, with other Loyalists. Early in Mar. 1787
Colonel Chandler, with his son William, his daughter Elizabeth, and Mrs. Grant,
embarked in a vessel at Annapolis Royal for St. John, N. B., Colonel Chandler and
probably also Mrs. Grant intending to appear before a commission that was to sit at
St. John to determine Loyalist claims. The vessel was driven by a violent storm on
the rocks at Musquash Point, about nine miles from St. John, and in trying to secure
it so that the party might land safely young William Chandler was crushed to death
in the waves. The rest of the party reached the shore safely; but the snow was still
deep, there were no roads, and after wandering about for hours Colonel Chandler and
his daughter and Mrs. Grant perished "in the woods at Partridge Island, near St.
John," on 11 Mar. 1787. Their bodies were found soon afterwards and were buried
in the old cemetery in St. John, at the head of King Street. At the time of her death
Mrs. Grant was but 38 years of age. Her daughter Elizabeth, born, it is said, in 1775,
married Ensign Thomas Chandler, son of Col. Joshua. Cf. The Chandler Family,
1883, pp. 252-257, 480.

his popularity became great, and in time he entered public affairs. In 1762 he became
a member of the Council, and in 1766 lieutenant-governor, filling this office actively and
intelligently until 1776. The Francklins long made their chief home at Windsor, and
were among the most active supporters of the Anglican Church in that town. Lieu-
tenant-Governor Francklin gave the land for the parish church (Christ Church) and
churchyard at Windsor, and Mrs. Francklin gave, 28 Apr. 1801, an acre of land oppo-
site the church for a parsonage and, in 1815, a complete set of service books, including

* On the same day Jared Ingersoll Chipman was appointed to the corresponding
judgeship for the eastern division of the Province and Thomas Ritchie to the similar
office for the western division. The judge or "chief justice " of one of these divisions
was only chief of the minor justices of the peace in his division, who were taken from
various walks of life and not from the legal profession only. Murdoch, the historian
of Nova Scotia, says in his history (vol. 3, p. 439): "Although educational establish-
ments had, as yet, effected little for the people, yet in 1819 men like Ritchie, Robie,
Haliburton, and Archibald, natives of the province, exhibited statesmanlike ideas, a
power of subtle reasoning, and much eloquence."

t He was buried in the Forest Hills Cemetery. In the burial notice in the records
in the Boston City Hall he is said to have died 20 May 1861, but 31 May is probably
the correct date.

t In the record of the death of George Mordaunt Haliburton he is said to be a
widower. His second wife is said to have been a Boston woman, the daughter of the
captain of a merchantman. Her surname, of which the proper spelling is probably
" Peoples," is not, however, a Boston name, but is found in early records of Falmouth
(now Portland), Me.

ville Streets, Halifax. About 1831 he removed to Boston,
and until 1839, at least, held a position in the Boston custom-
house. Later he probably again kept a shop, and in the
notice of his death he is called "merchant." Administration
on his estate was granted to his son, George Mordaunt Hali-
burton, Jr.

Soon after coming to Boston the Haliburtons connected
themselves with St. Matthew's Church (Protestant Episcopal)
in South Boston, the family consisting, according to the
registers of this church, 1 Sept. 1838, of four males and one
female. From May 1835 to May 1838 Rev. Horace Lorenzo
Conolly was rector of St. Matthew's. He is said to have been
an Irishman, and was educated probably at Trinity College,
Dublin. After he left South Boston he seems to have settled
in Salem, Mass., and there to have been on friendly terms
with Hawthorne; and in the biography of Longfellow, written
by Samuel Longfellow, it is stated that the story which sug-
gested to Longfellow the poem "Evangeline" was told by
Mrs. Haliburton to Mr. Conolly, was repeated by Mr. Conolly
to Hawthorne, and then was told by Hawthorne and Conolly
to Longfellow at the Craigie House.

Children by first wife:

i. Georgianna,4 b. at Halifax, N. S., abt. 1803; d. unm. at 30 Kriee-
land Street, Boston, 9 (or 11) July 1888, aged 85; bur. in Mt.
Auburn Cemetery. On 27 Feb. 1862 she made a will, in which
she mentions her sister, Maria Sanby Bayard; her sister's four
children, one of whom was Henrietta Cooper Bayard; her
cousin, Haliburton Fales (whom she appoints executor), and his
sons, Samuel and Haliburton, Jr.; the sons of her cousin, Eliza
Ann (Fales) Bridgham; and her five brothers, William Hersey
Otis, George Mordaunt, Thomas Andrew, Charles William
Robinson, and Alfred Fales Haliburton. This will was super-
seded by a later one, dated 14 Nov. 1887 and proved 24 Dec.
1890, in which she leaves $100 to her brother, W. H. O. Halibur-
ton of Annapolis, N. S., all the residue of her estate, both real
and personal, going to Rufus J. Smith of Boston, grocer, who is
to provide during her lifetime for his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth

Portsmouth). He married first, 8 May 1796, Elizabeth
Underwood, who was living in 1813; and secondly, 29 June
1823, Sarah Ann Manning, who died 2 Mar. 1877, aged 75,
daughter of Thomas and Statira.*

Andrew Haliburton was for some years president of the
Portsmouth Bank. In his will, dated 23 May 1843 and
proved 12 May 1846, he bequeathed all his property to his
wife (subject to the payment of $50 a year to his daughter,
Mary Ann Haliburton), with reversion at his wife's death to

7. Thomas Chandler4 Haliburton (William Hersey Otis,3 Wil-
liam,2 Andrew1), born at Windsor, N. S., 17 Dec. -1796, died at
his residence, Gordon House, Islesworth, co. Middlesex, Eng-
land, 27 Aug. 1865. He married first, in 1816 (probably in
the early summer), Louisa Neville, who died at Windsor,
N. S., 29 Nov. 1841, only daughter of Capt. Lawrence Neville
of the Second Life Guards and Nineteenth Light Dragoons ;f
and secondly, in England, in 1856, Sarah Harriet (Owen)
Williams, daughter of William Mostyn Owen, Esq., of Wood-
house, Shropshire, England, and widow (after 1844) of
Edward Hosier Williams of Eaton Mascott, Shewsbury, Shrop-
shire.

Haliburtons are probably descendants either of John Gustavus Peoples Haliburton
or of his brother, Alfred Fales Haliburton.

* These are the parents of Sarah Ann (Manning) Haliburton according to the
official record of her death. In the Wentworth Genealogy, vol. 1, p. 515, she is said
to have been the daughter of Capt. Thomas and Margaret (Purcell) Manning.

t Judge Haliburton met this lady when as a young law student he was visiting
England. Her father, Captain Neville, is said to have served in India, and both her
parents are said to have died before her marriage to Judge Haliburton.

He was graduated at King's College, Windsor, N. S., in 1815,
and was called to the Nova Scotia bar in 1820. For some
years both before and after his admission to the bar he evidently
lived at Windsor, but as early as 1824 he was practising
law at Annapolis Royal.* From 1827 to 1829 he was a
member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly for Annapolis
County, but in the latter year he was made a justice of the
Inferior Court of Common Pleas for the middle division of
the Province, and then he probably returned to Windsor to
live. On the abolition of the Court of Common Pleas he was
appointed, in 1841, a judge of the Supreme Court of Nova
Scotia; but in 1856 he resigned this position and removed to
England, where he resided for the remainder of his life.
From 1859 to 1865 he sat in the House of Commons, as a
Conservative, for Launceston, co. Cornwall.

Judge Haliburton gained great distinction as an author.
He published a two-volume historical and statistical account
of Nova Scotia, but his literary fame rests chiefly on his
humorous writings, in which he narrates the sayings and doings
of Sam Slick of Slickville, whom he represents as a Yankee
pedlar who travelled through Nova Scotia selling wooden
clocks. He "was the first writer who used the American
dialect, and according to Artemus Ward founded the American
school of humour." t

Though an aristocrat and a Tory, Judge Haliburton was
conspicuous in Nova Scotia for his advocacy of progressive
and liberal measures. His sarcastic designation of the "Old
Council of Twelve," at Halifax, in 1827, as "twelve dignified,
deep-read, pensioned old ladies, but filled with prejudice and
whims, like all other antiquated spinsters," was never for-
gotten or forgiven by this body to the end of its existence.
He had a well-deserved reputation for oratory, but bis early
oratory, at least, was of "the studied and ornate kind — which
prevailed more in his time than it does now." Although he
went to England with the wide reputation which he had
attained as an orator, a jurist, and a man of letters, J his
English parliamentary career was without distinction. The
chief scholastic honor conferred on him was the degree of

* Judge Savary states that he removed to Annapolis Royal in July 1821, but his
children continued to be baptized at Windsor until July 1823. Cf. the Calnek-Savary
History of the County of Annapolis, pp. 418-426.

t In the Dictionary of National Biography, from which this quotation is taken, may
be found an excellent sketch of Judge Haliburton's life, with references to other biogra-
phies of him and with the titles of sixteen of his books.

t Hon. Col. Charles Fox is said to have introduced Sam Slick the Clockmaker to
English court circles. In a volume of minor poems called "A Bundle of Faggots,"
Walter Savage Landor wrote:

"Once I would bid the man go hang
From whom there came a word of slang;
Now pray I, though the slang runs thick
Across the Atlantic from Sam Slick,
Never may fall the slightest hurt on
The witty head of Haliburton,
Wherein methinks more wisdom lies
Than in the wisest of the wise."

in 1897. He was raised to the peerage of the United Kingdom
on 13 June 1898 as Baron Haliburton of Windsor, in the Province
of Nova Scotia, and Dominion of Canada, being the only native
Nova Scotian who has been thus honored. His rise to the ranks
of the peerage is said to have been due largely to his magnetic

Eersonality. His London residence was at 57 Lowndes Square,

RECORDS OF THE CHURCH IN WINTONBURY PARISH
(NOW BLOOMFIELD), CONN.

FboM A COPT IN THE POSSESSION OP THE CONNECTICUT SoCIETT OP COLONIAL DAMES

Communicated by Miss Mary Kingsbury Talcott of Hartford, Conn.

Wintonbtjkt Parish was originally a part of Old Windsor, Conn.,
and may be considered an offshoot of the First Church there, which
came from Dorchester, Mass., in 1636. By 1734 the inhabitants of
this outlying territory had so increased in numbers that they desired
to have religious meetings in their midst, the meetinghouse in Windsor
being six miles distant. Their petition was considered reasonable by
the Connecticut General Assembly in May 1734, and "winter privi-
leges" were granted to them for two years. Finally, in Oct. 1736,
the parish was set off, bounded on the north by Simsbury and the
Windsor Third (Poquonock) Society, east by the Windsor First
Society, south by Windsor and Hartford, and west by Farmington
and Simsbury. "Of this parish, which was nearly four miles square,
about seven-tenths lay in Windsor, one-tenth in Farmington, and
two-tenths in Simsbury, and it was named in consequence from the
towns of which it was composed — Win-ton-buky." (Stiles's History
of Ancient Windsor, vol. 1, p. 293.)

The Wintonbury Church was organized 14 Feb. 1737/8, and on the
following day Rev. Hezekiah Bissell was ordained as pastor. He
was born at Windsor, on the east side of the Connecticut River,
30 Jan. 1710/11, and was prepared for college by his pastor, Rev.
Timothy Edwards. He was graduated at Yale College in 1733. He
married, 30 Nov. 1740, Mary, daughter of Rev. Ephraim Woodbridge
of Groton, Conn., a graduate of Harvard College in the Class of 1701.
He continued as minister of the parish until failing health in 1779
obliged him to ask for assistance in his pastoral work. He died
28 Jan. 1783, and a large table-monument in the burying ground sets

forth his virtues. The entries made by Mr. Bissell form by far the
greater part of Book I of the Church Records.

After much controversy Rev. Solomon Walcott, a graduate of
Dartmouth College in the Class of 1776, was installed as pastor at
Wintonbury on 24 May 1786; but, since the dissensions that had
preceded his settlement still continued, he was dismissed in 1790.

The town of Bloomfield, comprising the territory of the parish of
Wintonbury and also a portion of the Poquonock Society of Windsor,
was incorporated in May 1835, the church taking the name of the
new town. In 1840 the territory known as Scotland Parish in Sims-
bury was added to the town of Bloomfield.

Wintonbury was the fifth parish within the limits of the ancient
town of Windsor.*

88 Proceedings of the N. E. Hist. Gen. Society [Jan.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

By Alfred Johnson, A.M., Litt. D., Recording Secretary-
Boston, Massachusetts, 4 October 1916. A stated meeting of the Society was
held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton Place, at 2.30 P.M., President Baxter presiding.
The minutes of the May meeting were approved, and the reports of the Corre-
sponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the Council
reporting the names of twenty-five persons who had been elected resident mem-
bers.

The paper of the afternoon, by Albert Bushnell Hart, Ph.D., LL.D., Litt.D.,
Eaton Professor of the Science of Government at Harvard University, was
entitled Colonial Pirates and Privateers, and, with its whimsical touches of his-
toric lore, proved to be a combination of wit and wisdom as unusual as it was
agreeable.

On motion a vote of thanks to the speaker was adopted, and after a few in-
teresting remarks by President Baxter relative to the subject of the paper the
meeting was closed.
The usual reception for members and their friends was then held.

1 November. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ash-
burton Place, at 2.30 P.M., Vice-President Chase presiding.

The minutes of the October meeting were approved, and the reports of the
Corresponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the
Council reporting the names of eleven persons who had been elected resident
members.

By ballot the following were elected members of the Nominating Committee:
Wm. Sumner Appleton, Charles Eliot Goodspeed, George Ritchie Marvin, Mrs.
Mary Stickney Randall, George Sawin Stewart.

Rev. Samuel Raymond Maxwell, of Brookline, Mass., Minister of the Second
Church in Boston, delivered the address of the afternoon. Under the title,
Keeping New England New, Mr. Maxwell delineated in a vivid and comprehensive
manner the various waves of immigration which have come to our snores from
Europe up to the present time, and indicated most clearly the influence of the
distinguishing characteristics of the several races upon' modern New England.

On motion a vote of thanks was extended to the speaker.

After brief remarks by Mr. James H. Stark, the meeting terminated with the
usual reception and refreshments.

•

6 December. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ash-
burton Place, at 2.30 P.M., President Baxter presiding.

The minutes of the November meeting were approved, and the reports of the
Corresponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the
Council reporting the names of fourteen persons who had been elected resident
members.

The report of the Nominating Committee was read and accepted.

The Chair appointed Messrs. Charles S. Penhallow and Hosea S. Ballou as
auditors to audit the accounts of the Treasurer for the current year.

Hon. Charles Warren Lippitt, former Governor of Rhode Island, was the
speaker of the afternoon. His address on The Battle of Rhode Island proved to be
an elaborate and assiduous study of that important historical event, hitherto
inadequately treated by historians, and will stand as a real contribution to our
military history.

A vote of thanks to the speaker was moved by Mr. Desmond FitzGerald, who
extended a fitting tribute to Governor Lippitt, with whom he has been on terms
of intimacy since their boyhood.

Attention was called to an exhibit of original documents, bearing the signatures
of soldiers who took part in the battle and loaned by Mr. Walter K. Watkins.
Remarks followed by a member who had in his possession original plans of the
fort, by Mrs. Sara W. Mortimer, a granddaughter of a participant in the battle,
and by President Baxter, who, in closing, called for a rising vote of thanks to the
speaker.

The usual reception with refreshments terminated the meeting.

1917] Notes 89

NOTES

The Naming of Ktitert, Me. — The incorporation and naming of the town
of Kittery, Me., have been a troublesome problem to many. The stock state-
ment, that Kittery was incorporated by the court of elections as the first town in
Maine, 20 Oct. 1647, started with Williamson's History of Maine. The editor
of York Deeds says: "... incorporation under the Gorges charter confirmed by
Massachusetts Nov. 20, 1652," Miss Farnham says: "... in 1646 the name of
Piscataqua plantation had been changed to Kittery." (The Farnham Papers,
vol. 1, p. 265.) William Fogg, father of the late Dr. Fogg, contented himself with
verifying and printing (Register, vol. 7, p. 234) a copy from the record of the
court held 16 Oct. 1649, attested by Joseph Hammond, Register, and recorded
with Kittery records in the year 1711. This court gave the privileges of a town
to "the Inhabitance of Pascataquacke wthin the Jurisdicktion of this p'vince,"
but did not change the name to Kittery. Following these authorities scores of
persons have gone into print.

Rev. Dr. Stackpole (History of Kittery, p. 139) sums up the matter as follows:
"Williamson says that 'at the court of elections, Oct. 20, 1647, the Piscataqua
plantations were formed into a town by the name of Kittery.' I have searched
the court records in vain for confirmation of his statement. It is probable that
the inhabitants of Kittery then began to act as a town. The earliest date on the
town records is of a meeting held 19 March 1648. ... It is certain that Alexander
Shapleigh, who built the first house at Kittery Point about 1635, came from a
place called Kittery Point in Kingsweare, near Dartmouth, England, and without
doubt he gave the name to the spot where he built. Kittery Point was so called
before the name Kittery was given to the township, in all probability." Dr.
Stackpole does not give his authority for the latter statements. There was at
Kingswear a gentleman's seat or manor house named Kittery House, very likely
at one time owned by the Shapleigh or Treworgy families; but numerous enquiries
have failed to find a "Kittery Point" earlier than our own.

It is beyond doubt that the first organization as a town was voluntary. Town
grants recorded prior to the action of the court authorizing a town openly disclose
as much. The record reads: "Lotes granted unto ye Inhabitants of the River of
Piscatquacke & laid out by ye Genaral Consent of ye Freeholders by Mr. Nicholas
Shapleigh John Heard & Nicholas Frost — the 14th 0f Feb^y 1648 [1648/9]."
(York Deeds, lib. 1, fo. 5.) But Williamson's date, 20 Oct. 1647, was only an
error of judgment, or of ingenuity. He evidently did not go to the original
records, then hardly accessible, but combined what he found in Sullivan with the
matter in 1 Massachusetts Historical Society Collections, vol. 7, p. 250. Sullivan
said (History of the Province of Maine, pp. 320, 325) : "The name of Kittery had
been given to Piscataqua plantation in 1647;" and again: "The town of Kittery
had been called Piscataqua, until 1647, when the name was altered by Godfrey,
Leader, and their party." The month and day which Williamson inferred from
what is printed in Massachusetts Historical Society Collections were the month and
day of a court order, on the petition of Richard Cutt and Otto Cutting, for the
removal of women and swine from the Isles of Shoals.

It is worth noticing that the voluntary organization of the Piscataqua inhabi-
tants into a town was prior to the voluntary organization of Piscataqua, York,
and Wells into a province. In July 1649 the people between the Province of
Ligonia and the Piscataqua River entered into the following agreement: "For
as much as S* Ferdinando Gorges is dead . . . the letter sent to his heir in June
1647 & 48 . . . noe return is yet to hand . . . the Inhabitants with one free and
unius animus consent doe bynd themselves in a boddy politick ... to make
choyse of such Governer or Governers and majistrates as by most voysses they
shall thincke meet." As illustrating the pervading spirit of democracy, to all
the members of the grand jury in the first court held the title of " Mr." was given,
a distinction which some of them never attained at any other time, either earlier
or later.

At that court, 16 Oct. 1649, Mr. Nicholas Shapleigh and Edward Rushworth
were added to the number of the assistants, Mr. Shapleigh was chosen Province
treasurer, and the order giving town privileges to the inhabitants of Piscataqua
was enacted. It is easy to see that Mr. Shapleigh, still a young man, later major

90 Notes [Jan.

of the Province forces, had much to do with these proceedings. In organizing the
town, prior to reorganizing the Province, he was what we now call first selectman,
and the others were his immediate neighbors, John Heard and Nicholas Frost,
all hying in what is now the upper part of the town of Eliot. We may readily
surmise that on a suggestion by Mr. Shapleigb or out of compliment to him the
name for the proposed town was selected. We shall see how both John Heard
and Nicholas Frost had been induced to settle so far from the coast.

Two of the earliest occurrences of the name "Kittery," if patiently inter-
preted by their surrounding facts, are by themselves sufficient to show what
place was first called by that name. Indeed, once the vision opens, it is sur-
prising that the matter should not have been understood long ago.

"The deposition of Thomas Beard and John Whit sworn the 16th of Octo. 1645.

"This deponent John Whit doeth saye that Mr. John Treworgy did solicit Jo0
Heard divers times, for to come live at the marsh, and told him that if hee would
sett down a howse ther hee should have what marsh hee would and convenient
upland to his howse: and upon that Jon Heard and his wife came up to Kittery,
and she did keepe John Treworgys howse while that her husband did build his
howse at the creek," etc.

It further appears that Mr. Treworgy gave marsh to Nicholas Frost as well
as to John Heard; and by another deposition, that of Phillip Swadden (York
Deeds, lib. 3, fo. 13), it appears that Mr. Thomas Wannerton gave land to Nicho-
las Frost about the year 1635, "to come to bee his neighbor." This land, which
Frost owned until his death, was "a parcell of land up in Piscataqua River now
known by the name of Kittery which parcell of land was bounded . . . joining
to the Fort Poynt . . . the lane w°h joynes to ye land which Major Nich° Shap-
leigh now possesses," etc.

About 1633 Capt. Walter Neale, Governor, conveyed two huge tracts of land
opposite Dover Neck to Capt. Thomas Cammock and Mr. Thomas Wannerton.'
In 1637 Captain Cammock sold the land to Mr. John Treworgy, and this lot,
about 750 acres, became the estate of his uncle, Shapleigh. Mr. Wannerton also
moved away.

At a general court, 27 June 1648, a monopoly of the hotel and barroom privi-
leges "at the mouth of the River of Pascataquack " was given to Mr. William
Hilton, and he was to keep a ferry at fares fixed by the court. "It is ordered
[by] this Court that hee that keeps the ordnary is for to keepe a ferry and to have
to the great Island for one vi d if more iii d apeece, to Strawbury Banck for one
vii d if more iiii d p. man, to Dover or Kittery xviii d for one if more xii d a man."
Mr. Hilton's ordinary was the house built by Mr. Shapleigh at the mouth of
Piscataqua River, on that other large tract bought for him by his grandson and
now called Kittery Point. The ferriage directly across the river to New Castle
was 6d., farther up the river, to Portsmouth, 7d., "to Dover or Kittery" Is.
6d. Obviously, from Kittery Point as we understand it in 1917 to "Kittery"
as understood in 1648 was practically the same distance as to "Dover." "Dover"
and "Kittery" were on either bank of the mouth of the Newichawanock River,
about nine miles from Kittery Point. On the south side was Dover Neck, or
Hilton's Point, where Mr. Edward Hilton is said to have built in 1623 the first
house in this part of New England; on the north side was the Shapleigh-Treworgy
estate. Here, therefore, was "Kittery."

Even after the town of Kittery was named, years elapsed before we first find
the name "Kittery Point." To the earliest inhabitants that name would have
meant Fort Point, opposite Dover. Our Kittery Point, many miles down stream,
was variously called "the Point," "the river's mouth," "the harbor's mouth."
Mr. John Treworgy in 1650 spoke of bis grandfather's house at the mouth of the
river as "at Pascataway." Major Shapleigh called it in 1662 "ye warehouse
point." In the inventory of his estate it was called "the land at the point." As
late as 1661 the court provided for an ordinary and ferry "at the place Poynt wr
sometimes Hugh Gunnison did reside." In 1673 Francis Morgan, surgeon, who
had married Mr. Gunnison's widow, spoke of this house "at the point commonly
called Morgan's Point."

In the interim between the naming of the town and the naming of Kittery
Point it is far from easy to distinguish in many instances between the place
Kittery, opposite Dover Neck, or the township Kittery. Old customs held on.
As late as 1663 this language occurs in the inventory of Nicholas Frost's estate:
"The house and land at Kittery Joyneing to Wilh'am Leighton estimated 30

1917] Notes ■ 91

acres. Pease and oates at Kittery." This was the land given to Frost by Mr.
Wannerton, the same on which he later built a new house which he rented for a
tavern and ferry house for Dover travel. All of his lands were in the township
of Kittery (except a piece of marsh within the bounds of York), but this particular
lot, with the crops grown on it, was "at Kitteryi" the place.

Not improbably we may see in two deeds made in 1669, both running to Henry
Greenland, surgeon, the man who first named "Kittery Point." He was a new-
comer. The first deed contains these words: "in Kiltery aforesaid at or near a
place there called the poynt, or by what other name or names sooner the same is
or hath been called or known." But in the second deed, two months later, the
knot has been cut, and mention is made of "a dwelling house and land standing
upon Kittery Point." It was several decades, however, before this name for the
Point became generally accepted.

The summary, then, is this: The tract of land opposite Dover Neck, bought
by Mr. John Treworgy for the Shapleighs 20 Jan. 1636/7, was named by them
Kittery, after the English custom; from this tract the name spread first to the
immediate neighborhood, and then was taken up by the inhabitants as the name
of their township; next it was officially confirmed by the commissioners from
Massachusetts; and finally, after some years, it reached Kittery Point. _

The date 20 Oct. 1647 being a myth, there may be a difference of opinion as to
whether the town should bear the date 20 Nov. 1652, under the Massachusetts
authorities, or 16 Oct. 1649, under the voluntary Godfrey regime, or the date of
the voluntary town organization. The name Kittery in records dates only from
20 Nov. 1652, but the act of that date recognized the earlier existence of the town.
Godfrey's government went to pieces, but so also did the Massachusetts govern-
ment of that date; on the other hand the mere voluntary organization of a town
can hardly be recognized. The Godfrey government later on refused a petition
from the people of Wells and Cape Neddick, 30 Dec. 1651, ruling that they should
constitute a "village ... till they grow to bee more capable of a Towne."
Probably 16 Oct. 1649 should be the recognized date. In any case Kittery was
% the first town in Maine, as the city of Gorgeana lapsed, and its successor, the town

of York, was not incorporated by the Massachusetts commissioners until two
days later than Kittery.

Epps-Linsforb-Yale-Endicott. — The Harleian Society has recently pub-
lished the Registers of St. Olave, Hart Street, London, 1563-1700, a parish church
situated in a part of London in which one might expect to find traces of early
emigrants to America. Hart Street itself is near the Fenchurch Street Station
of the Great Eastern Railway, and is a continuation of Crutched Friars, extending
to Mark Lane; and in this parish is Trinity House, adjoining the Precinct and
Liberty of the Tower. The adjacent parishes are St. Catherine Coleman, St.
Dunstan in the East, St. Botolph (Aldgate), and Allhallows (Barking). In the
Registers of St. Olave, Hart Street, the following entries relating to early New
England families have been found:

1628 Martha daughter of Daniell Eps buried 31 May.

1629 Marie daughter of Daniel Eps and Martha baptized 8 October.

1630 Daniell Eps a housholder buried 26 June.

1630 Thomas son of Francis Eps and Marie baptized 8 September.
1655 John son of Elizabeth Linsford "was borne in New England the last of
March 1651 & baptized October the 1°"

1655 Elizabeth daughter of Dauid and Desula Yale, "fro Tower Libertie," buried

2 October.

1656 "two male childre, twins, of Dauid & Desula Yale, brought fro Tower

Libertie," buried 23 May.
1689 Ann daughter of John and Ann Endicott baptized 13 October.
1693 Robert Edwards son of John and Ann Endicott baptized 11 April.

Of the persons whose names appear in these entries, Daniel Epps, who was
buried 26 June 1630, became a member of the Artillery Company of London in
1619, and was the father of Daniel Epps who emigrated with his mother to New
England in 1637. Thomas Cooke the Elder of Pebmarsb, co. Essex, yeoman, in
his will, dated 30 Aug. 1621 and proved 26 Nov. 1621, mentions "Edmund Reade
my son in law," and "my daughter Elizabeth, now his wife," and gives "to Martha

92 Notes [Jan.

Reade, now wife of Epps of London, my grandchild," £10. (Register,

vol. 47, pp. 128-129.) Edmand Reade of Wickford, co. Essex, in his will dated
20 Nov. 1623, mentions "Daniell Epps & Martha Epps my Daughter" and
"Elizabeth Epps and Daniel Epps theire Children." (Appleton's Ancestry of
Priscilla Baker, p. 123.) In 1677 Daniel Epps, the New England immigrant,
deposed, aged 52. His sister Marie or Mary, baptized 8 Oct. 1629, married Peter
Duncan of Dorchester and Gloucester, Mass.

John Linsford, according to the entry given above, was born in New England
and baptized in Old England. The only known New England records of this
Linsford family are found in Suffolk Court Files, nos. 3542 and 3624. In the
former of these records it is stated that at the Inferior Court of Common Pleas,
holden in Boston, 5 Oct. 1697, Elizabeth Boon of Boston, the daughter and only
surviving child of Thomas Linsford late of Boston, deceased, claimed a dwelling
house and small piece of land over against the house and land of John Green,
bounded southeasterly by the High Street leading to Winnesimmet Ferry, north-
west by Thomas Walker, southwest by Thomas Peck, and northeast by land
formerly James Bennett's, deceased. This property was then or formerly in the
tenure of Deborah Keen. The claimant humbly prayed that her claim might
remain on file. The following deposition, dated 10 Dec. 1697, is found in Suffolk
Court Files, 3624:

"Hannah Coller aged fifty six yeares or thereabouts Testifieth that she doth
well remember and know that the same piece or strip of Land at the Northerly
part of Boston lying between the Land formerly belonging to Mr Samuel Cole on
the South West and the Land of one Goodman Bennett on the Northeast and the
Land of Thomas Walker on the North West and the Highway or broad street
on the Southeast being the Land on which George Nowell did Dwell for several
years together, and is now reputed to be in the Posession of Deborah Keen.
Which piece of Land was formerly reputed to belong unto Thomas Linsford of
Boston and by him possessed as his own and that he built a house thereon some-
time before the month of October in the Year of our Lord 1652. That is to say
47 years agoe, which House I saw the sd Linsford help to build with his own hand
\ and that he Dwelt in sd House some short time and there dyed and left sd house

in possession of Elizabeth his wife after which she Dwelt therein some Years &
then went away for old England and that the sd House then built by sd Linsford
of which he dyed possessed is yet standing together with an additional build-
ing sett upon sd Land by George Nowell. This deponant further saith that she
hath known Elizabeth Boone from a little child to be the Reputed daughter of
the sd Thomas Linsford and the only child of them that she knows to be now
living."

In Boston, 4 Mar. 1697 [1697/8], Hannah Coller swore to this deposition before
Isaac Addington and Jeremiah Dummer, Deborah Keen being present.

This Elizabeth Boone was widow of Nicholas Boone of Boston and mother of
Nicholas Boone, the bookseller, who was born in Boston 10 Aug. 1679.

Deborah Keen or Cane, spinster, was the daughter of Jonathan Cane of Cam-
bridge, Mass., who married 14 May 1674 Deborah Welsh. Jonathan Cane's
parents were Christopher and Margery of Cambridge, and his sister, Ruth Cane,
married Marmaduke Johnson, the first Boston printer.

The first known record of the conve3'ance of this property is dated in 1663, when
Ralph Sammes or Salmon, a tailor of Dorchester, conveyed it to George Nowell.
In 1675 Nowell sold it to Johnson, and in the house built by Linsford the first
printing office in Boston was established. On Johnson's death the house passed
to his wife, who on her death in 1677 left legacies of various sums of money to
her sisters Esther and Deborah and to a brother, Nathaniel. Esther married
Francis Hinds, and, not receiving her legacy of £30, sued her brother, Jonathan
Cane, who seems to have retained the house, which after his death in 1695 was
occupied by his daughter Deborah. This last-mentioned Deborah, who appears
in the records in the Suffolk Court Files already cited, borrowed money of Thomas
Skinner, loaf-bread maker; and Skinner claimed the house and sold it to John
Burge, tailor, of Boston and later of Bristol, R. I. Burge then sold it to Rev.
Benjamin Woodbridge of Boston and later of Portsmouth, N. H.

It was also claimed that the property had been mortgaged to one Trumbull,
and several suits were instituted against Deborah Keen or Cane for the property,
which was a piece of land fronting 20 feet on Fishers Street (now a part of Hanover
Street) and extending 100 feet to Back (now Salem) Street. The Widow Boone's

1917J Notes 93

claim does not seem to have been pressed, but was simply placed on file for what
it was worth.

The Yale entries of 1655 and 1656 show the abode of David Yale after he left
Boston in 1651. He had resided in Boston for some ten years, 1641-1651, and
there, on the north slope of Cotton Hill, his son Elihu, the founder of Yale College,
was born 5 Apr. 1648.

The John Endicott whose children were baptized in the parish of St. Olave,
Hart Street, in 1689 and 1693, was Dr. John Endicott, a grandson of Gov. John
Endicott of the Massachusetts Bay. After Dr. Endicott's death his widow and
these two children came to New England. The daughter, Ann, married in 1711
her cousin, Samuel Endicott; and her brother, Robert Edwards Endicott, married
in 1720 Elizabeth Phillips.

Historical Intelligence

Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its
report of 5 May 1914 (see Register, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-rriii), "that
every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter
of record that any original settler in this country inherited a coat of arms or that
any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the
arms for record with this Society," etc.

The Committee believes that the importance of the results possible to be
attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they earnestly request
all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which
they believe to be eligible to make application for recording them. The cost of
painting the arms and making up the record will have to be defrayed by the ap-
plicants, and the Committee has determined that S3.00 for each coat will barely
suffice.

This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded
with the application. If the application is rejected, the money will be returned
unless the applicant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited for proof.
The Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any application altogether,
and if this right is exercised, the money will, of course, be returned.

It seems evident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases
in size, there will be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the
arms and directly related thereto, such as photographs of castles, armor, seals,
manor houses, etc., and provision is contemplated for filing such contributions in
supplementary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. Applica-
tions in which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements indicated
in the report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further
proof.

Printed directions for the making of applications may be obtained from the
Committee; and all communications on this subject should be addressed to the
Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash-
burton Place, Boston.

Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families

THE
NEW ENGLAND

HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL

REGISTER

APRIL, 1917

FREDERICK LEWIS GAY, A.B.

By John Henbt Edmonds of Boston, Mass.

Fkedekick Lewis Gay, antiquary, a resident member of the New
England Historic Genealogical Society, from 1876 to the end of 1884
and again from 1892 until his death, died at his residence in Brookline,
Mass., 3 March 1916.

He was born in Boston, Mass., 28 October 1856, the eldest son of
Dr. George Henry and Elizabeth Greenough (Lewis) Gay and eighth
in descent from John Gay, who came to New England about 1630
and settled at Watertown, Mass. John Gay was admitted freeman
6 May 1635, and, with others of Watertown, founded Dedham, Mass.,
or, as it was at first called, Contentment, 6 September 1636. Among
the Gay connections may be mentioned Rev. Ebenezer Gay (1696-
1787), pastor of the First Parish at Hingham for sixty-nine years,
• whose sermons are well represented in the library of his brother's
descendant.

John1 Gay married Joanna, said to have been a Widow Baldwicke,
and had eleven children, including Nathaniel,2 born 11 January
1642/3, who married Lydia Starr, niece of Eleazar Lusher. They
had Lusher,3 born 26 September 1685 and causing no end of trouble
to officials and genealogists who persist in writing him Luther.
Lusher married Mary Ellis and lived at the Clapboard Trees in Ded-
ham, where their son Lusher4 was born 13 December 1716. On
becoming of age, his father gave him, under date of 20 June 1738, a
tract of land in Thompson Parish, Killingly, Conn., with "buildings
and fruit trees thereon." Marrying Mary Colburn of Dedham,
11 April 1739, he removed to Thompson, and there their son Lusher^
was born 21 March 1740/1. He married, 30 April 1761, Judith
Green of Thompson, and they had Willard,6 born 30 November 1761,
who later removed to Dedham, Mass., and became a prominent
citizen there, being the first president of the Dedham Bank. Willard
married Sarah Colburn of Dedham, daughter of Timothy and Zip-
porah (Ellis) Colburn, and their third son, George,7 was born at Ded-
ham 1 March 1790. He was graduated at Harvard College in 1810,
studied law, and practised his profession in Boston with David A.
Simmons. He married, 17 September 1818, Nancy, daughter of
Joseph and Ann (Phillips) Lovering, and their third son, George

100 Frederick Lewis Gay [April

Henry,8 was born in Boston 23 March 1823. He was graduated at
Harvard College in 1842, and received the degree of Doctor of
Medicine in 1845. He was a surgeon of national repute, being
visiting surgeon of the Massachusetts General Hospital for twenty-
three years. He saw considerable service during the Civil War, and
in October 1862 reported to the surgeon general of Massachusetts
"A few remarks on the primary treatment of wounds received in
battle." He had married, 21 November 1855, Elizabeth Greenough
Lewis, daughter of Dr. Winslow and Emeline (Richards) Lewis, and
their eldest son, Frederick Lewis,9 the subject of this memoir, was
born in Boston 28 October 1856.

As usual with a family that has remained in New England from its
founding, the connections are far reaching, and it was noticeable that
search, either genealogical or historical, often far afield, would time
and time again lead Mr. Gay to his own. His mother was descended
from George Lewis, who came from East Greenwich, co. Kent,
England, before 1633, and eventually settled at Barnstable in 1640.
She was granddaughter of Thomas Greenough, Jr., who was de-
scended from Capt. William Greenough, who married, 10 October
1660, Ruth Swift of Dorchester, Mass. ; and her father, Dr. Winslow
Lewis, consulting physician at the Massachusetts General Hospital,
the Boston City Hospital, and the Carney Hospital, president of
the Boston Numismatic Society, 1861-1866, president of the New
England Historic Genealogical Society, 1861-1866, grand master
of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, A. F. and A. M., 1855,
1856, 1860, overseer of Harvard College, 1856-1868, was the son
of Capt. Winslow Lewis of Boston, who could claim kinship with
Edward Winslow of Plymouth. Among the other connections are
included Mistress Anne Hutchinson, Sir Richard Saltonstall, Dr. John
Clark, and Sir Charles Hobby. In fact the Clark and the Salton-
stall coats of arms on wooden panels, rescued from the partially
demolished Clark-Frankland House, adorn the dining room of Mr.
Gay's late residence in Brookline, and, if done in America, are cer-
tainly worthy samples of early American art.

Frederick Lewis Gay went, or rather ran, to the Boston Latin
School from his home in Park Square across the Long Path on the
Common. He was graduated with the Class of 1874, and entered
Harvard College with the Class of 1878, but gave up his college course
in order to enter the Harvard Medical School, intending to follow in
his father's and grandfather's footsteps. After spending some time
at the Medical School he left it without obtaining his degree, though
from the time he was a small boy until his death he was known
familiarly by many of his friends as ' ' Doctor." Among his classmates
at Harvard were Emmons Blaine, Howard Mendenhall Buck, M.D.,
Edward Changing, Ph.D., Charles Harrington, M.D., John Homans,
M.D., Harrison Gray Otis, Judge William Sullivan, Benjamin Welles,
and Henry Wheeler. In 1903 he received from Harvard the degree
of Bachelor of Arts out of course.

Accepting a position in the treasurer's office of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway, he removed to Chicago, HI., and entered the
employ of this company, where his classmate Emmons Blaine had

1917] Frederick Lewis Gay 101

preceded him. On 5 June 1889 he married in Dorchester, Mass.,
Josephine, daughter of Aaron Warner and Josephine (Vila) Spencer,
and shortly afterwards he returned to Boston to live, later moving to
Fisher Hill, Brookline.

While in college he was elected to membership in the New England
Historic Genealogical Society, 6 September. 1876, as of Cambridge,
Mass.; and in the Register of January 1877 he made his entrance
into genealogical circles by noting the omission, from George D.
Phippen's Saltonstall Pedigree, of Martha, the sister of Sir Richard
Saltonstall, who married Dr. John Clark of Newbury, Mass. Part of
bis proof was the above-mentioned Clark and Saltonstall coats of arms.
The correction was duly accepted by Mr. Phippen. In January 1879
he communicated to the Register "William Clark's Genealogical
Statement," dated Boston, October 1731, which was followed by his
"John Gay of Dedham, Massachusetts, and some of his Descendants."
This has since been continued and extended by D. Williams Patterson
and Dr. Warren Fisher Gay, and has grown from a pamphlet of 15
pages to a volume of 402 pages, all carefully and conscientiously done,
with a list of authorities and a good index. In 1884 Mr. Gay left 'the
Society, but entered again in 1892 as of Brookline. He served on
the Council of the Society in 1906 and 1907, and was a member of the
Committee on Finance in 1906 and of the Committee on Papers and
Essays in 1907. In July and October 1907 he communicated to the
Register, from the original in his possession, the "Marriages solem-
nized by the Rev. Jeremiah Barnard, Amherst, N. H., 1780-1829."
His last contribution to the Register was in April 1915, when the
Maverick transcripts furnished by him were of material assistance
in preparing the article on the Maverick family communicated by
the Committee on English Research.

Among the families in whose history Mr. Gay made exhaustive
searches are those of Allin of Dedham, Bellingham, Byles, Carver,
Child, Coit, Cookson, Crowne, Dabney, Ellis of Dedham, Fisher,
Gardner of Brookline, Gay, Gold, Gooch, Green of Boston, Greenough,
Head, Higginson, Hobby, Hubbart of Boston, Johnston, Kilcup,
Lake, Lewis, Lewis of Dedham, Lidgett, Lovering, Mackworth,
Malcolm, Mascarene, Marston, Mather, Maverick, Pelham, Phillips
of Saco, Phips, Proctor, Sears, Smith, Southack, Spencer, Staniford,
Thacher, Tilton, and Valentine.

While his study and research were at first genealogical, they gradu-
ally became historical as well, embracing the local history of Dedham,
Brookline, Boston, Harvard College, Marblehead, etc., and finally
including the history of New England from its founding to the Revo-
lution, as well as the history of its neighbors, Acadia, Nova Scotia,
and Canada. As a natural consequence of such a study he was
familiar with the " Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series, America
and West Indies," and the various other calendars of papers in the
British Museum and elsewhere, but in a way not usually followed.
Instead of using the printed indexes, he would read carefully through
each volume as it came out, noting that which interested him. Not
being satisfied with the brief calendar which was made from an Eng-
lish, not from an American, point of view, he early began to have

102 Frederick Lewis Gay [April

transcripts made from the originals, a practice later followed by the
Library of Congress. His collection, which is briefly described in
"A Rough List of a Collection of Transcripts relating to the History
of New England, 1630-1776," Brookline, 1913, amounted in all to
10,000 folio pages, bound in 59 volumes. Since his death and that
of his brother, Dr. Warren Fisher Gay, these transcripts have been
presented to the Massachusetts Historical Society, conditional on
their freest possible use by historical students of serious interest.
Some idea of the broadness of this collection may be gathered from
the following groups: State Papers, Plymouth Papers, Temple
Papers, Sedgwick Papers, Peter Papers, Baxter Papers, Phips Papers,
Knepp Journal, Kidd Papers, Cotton Mather's Letters to the Royal
Society, Miscellaneous Papers, Acadia Papers, Nova Scotia Papers,
Mascarene Papers, Andrew Oliver's Letter Book, Peter Oliver's Origin
and Progress of the American Revolution, Elisha Hutchinson's Letter
Book, Gov. Thomas Hutchinson's Letters to Lord Hardwick, Calen-
dar of Hutchinson Papers, Admiral Graves Papers.

The grandson of Dr. Winslow Lewis, who on his death in 1875 was
possessed of a library of 10,000 volumes, Mr. Gay naturally inherited
a taste for books. Starting with about 3000 of his grandfather's, he
gradually built up a library equal to it in number, pertaining to the
history of New England and its neighbors, which had no equal as a

; working library in this country. His purchases were made carefully

along certain well-defined lines, and principally as the result of his
own study, though in the earlier days he was materially aided by the

; suggestions of his good friend, the late George Emery Littlefield.

He had a personal knowledge of the contents of each book and its
location in his library, and had catalogued only those printed before
1800. The library consisted of genealogies, town histories, proceed-
ings and collections of historical and genealogical societies, vital
records, Americana (including many "not in Evans"), books on early
New England theology (all of which he had read), pilots, maps and
charts, and some manuscripts, though he usually left the collecting
of manuscripts to others. In addition, in the last few years he had
acquired a collection of English Civil War tracts, 1640-1661, which
had no equal in private hands. Amounting to some 4000 tracts and
1200 newspapers, it owed its origin to his interest in Rev. Hugh Peter,
sometime of Marblehead, saint or sinner, fourth pastor of the Church
in Salem, a member of the first Board of Overseers of Harvard College,
who planned to establish the College either in Salem or Marblehead,
agent to England for the Colony, colonel in Cromwell's army, chap-
lain in chief to the Protector, Regicide and possibly masked execu-
tioner of Charles L, who was himself duly hung, drawn, and quartered
in London, 17 October 1660. J. B. Williams, Esq., had made a
violent attack on the reverend gentleman in the London Notes and
Queries. In an endeavor to see whether he had quoted his authorities
in their entirety Mr. Gay started collecting the tracts referred to, and
before he realized it he had become a recognized collector of Civil
War tracts. In the meantime the Harvard College Library had
started along similar fines, in order to supplement its collection of
English Literature made under the direction of Mr. Edgar Huide-

1917] Frederick Lewis Gay 103

koper Wells, a classmate of Mr. Gay's brother, Ernest Lewis Gay.
Soon the competitors joined forces, and Mr. Gay was appointed
curator of British and American Historical Tracts, for the purpose
of developing the two collections so that they might supplement each
other and of bringing them together eventually in his room in the
Harvard College Library. Mr. Gay's collection of Civil War tracts
and newspapers in its entirety has been given to the Harvard College
Library by Mrs. Gay and his two brothers, Dr. Warren Fisher Gay
and Ernest Lewis Gay, both since deceased. The Gay and Harvard
collections of tracts, each amounting to about 4000, with others
already in the stacks, augmented by two large purchases of tracts
and broadsides, are now being blended into one collection which will
be known as the Gay Collection, and when completed it will have no
equal outside of the Thomason Collection in the British Museum,
which numbers 14,942 tracts and broadsides.

On 15 March 1893 Mr. Gay was elected to membership in The
Colonial Society of Massachusetts, and was thenceforth an active
member of this organization. He presented to the Society Louis
XIII's commission to Charles de la Tour as lieutenant-general of
Acadia, in 1631. In April 1895 he first definitely located Gov. John
Winthrop's mansion house, at what is now 53 State Street. He was
elected registrar of the Society in 1899, and held that office until
his death. The condition of the Harvard College records being
brought to his attention in 1902, he paid for the copying and printing
of volumes 1, 3, 4, and 5, which will soon appear as volumes 15 and
16 of the Society's Publications.

On 25 April 1906 Mr. Gay was elected to membership in the
American Antiquarian Society; and at the centenary celebration,
16 October 1912, he presented the Society with the original manu-
script "Records of the Council for New England, 1622-1623,"
which closely follows the Bradford Manuscript in its historical
importance.

On 8 January 1914 he was duly elected to membership in the
Massachusetts Historical Society. Later he communicated to the
Society some notes on Gawen Brown and his son, Mather Brown the
artist, accompanied by a reproduction from his original of the portrait
of the latter, painted by himself, in which the artist, evidently in order
to please his aunts, the Misses Byles of Nassau Green, represented
himself as much younger than he was. Mather Brown, or, as he was
first called, Mather Byles Brown, grandson of Rev. Mather Byles,
was instructed first in drawing by his aunt and then in painting by
Gilbert Stuart, and completed his training under Benjamin West.
Some of his portraits have decidedly Stuart characteristics, while his
historical paintings show plainly West's influence. His painting
of Louis XVI saying farewell to his family, now in possession of Mrs.
Gay, is a fine example of the latter. Later Mr. Gay contributed a
note on Rev. Francis Marbury, father of Anne Hutchinson, his
ancestress, in which he established the date of her marriage to William
Hutchinson, which, though it had been some time in print, had been
overlooked by genealogists. He also included "The conference
betweene mee [Francis Merburie] and the Bishop of London . . . the

104

Frederick Lewis Gay

[April

5. of November . . . 1578," which clearly shows that Mistress Anne
came by her argumentative spirit naturally. This was reprinted from
"A parte of a register," printed about 1593, and the last book that
Mr. Gay received was "The seconde parte," printed in Cambridge,
England, in 1915.

He was a member of the Dedham Historical Society for twenty-six
years, and was much interested in its Register. His collection of
Dedham imprints, amounting to over 200 items, many of them rare,
has been given to the Society. In point of membership he was the
third oldest of the Club of Odd Volumes, having been elected in 1890.
He was also a member of the Essex Book and Print Club, the Marine
Museum, the Champlain Society, the Naval History Society, the
Bostonian Society, the Brookline Historical Society, the Marblehead
Historical Society, an honorary member of the Harvard Memorial
Society, a director of the Bunker Hill Monument Association, and
president of the Prince Society. He belonged also to the Tavern
Club, the Harvard Club, the Somerset Club, the Eastern Yacht Club,
and the Boston Yacht Club.

As "The Pelham Club, Boston," he issued twelve photogravure
reproductions of the mezzotints engraved in America by Peter Pel-
ham, with a portrait of John Adams as well. He reproduced by
photolithography the Seller Map of New England, 1675, and the
Pound Map of New England and Mattathusetts Bay, i.e., Boston
Harbor, 1691, from the originals in the Library of Congress. In
1904 he issued a special edition of one hundred copies of "A De-
scriptive Catalogue of an Exhibition of Early Engraving in America
[at the Museum of Fine Arts], December 12, 1904-February 5, 1905,"
followed in 1907 by "A Descriptive Catalogue of the Massachusetts
Exhibit of Colonial Books at the Jamestown Exhibition," in an
edition of three hundred copies, which in its way is a literary curiosity,
. being a privately printed book bearing the seal of the Commonwealth.
His "Rough List of a Collection of Transcripts" was issued in 1913,
in an edition of seventy-five copies, which was naturally limited, as it
carried with it an invitation to use this collection in the library of the
owner.

In conjunction with Mr. George Francis Dow of the Essex Institute,
Salem, he published in 1914 an edition of two hundred copies of
"Synopsis Medicinae, or A Compendium of Galenical and Chymical
Physick showing the Art of Healing according to the Precepts of
Galen & Paracelsus," from the original manuscript compiled by
Zerobabel Endecott, son of Governor Endecott, in 1677, and in the
possession of Mr. Gay, Mr. Dow contributing an introduction and
annotations.

He was a regular contributor to the genealogical columns of the
Transcript, and his writings occasionally appeared also elsewhere.
In The Nation of 11 February 1909 his article entitled "The First
American Play" places that event as early as 1606. In the Harvard
Alumni Bulletin of 26 May 1915 he pleaded for the proper recognition
in the Quinquennial Catalogue of Mr. Nathaniel Eaton as the first
"Master of Harvard College and President Designate."

Comparatively few of Mr. Gay's own studies, either in genealogy or

1917] English Home and Ancestry of Richard Seamer 105

history, have been published over his signature, but he was constantly
aiding and assisting others if once satisfied that they were conscientious
students. With the late George Lamb of Cambridge he was practically
responsible for all of the information from manuscript sources in the
books of the late George Emery Littlefield, and to Mr. Gay personally
is due the credit of proving that the first printing office in English North
America was situated on Holyoke Street rather than on Dunster Street,
Cambridge. It was no uncommon thing for him to receive a request
for information which would mean a month's work before it could be
answered, and in most cases the recipient would think that he was
only biding his time to write. Evidence of his reading and work
can be found in any and all of his books. His knowledge of sources
was remarkable. He was always ready with a kindly word of advice
and with his books, manuscripts, maps, engravings, paintings, and
notes, to assist any student of New England history. His fund of
general knowledge was very large, but he had also specialized in
about twenty subjects, such as Harvard College, Dedham, Brook-
line, Marblehead, the Hollis Street Church, early cartographers,
engravers, painters, and the like, and he was never at a loss for a
reference.

From first to last Mr. Gay's one ambition was to advance the
study of the history of New England from contemporary sources.
Time and time again, with a subject well in hand, he stepped aside
in favor of one who, he thought, was better able to handle the sub-
ject, and turned over to his fellow worker the results of his own
untiring labor. As Mr. Wortbington C. Ford fitly says: "Such
generosity is rare, and in him was natural and attractive, free from
a jealousy of discovery or a craving for sole possession."

THE ENGLISH HOME AND ANCESTRY

OF
RICHARD SEAMER OR SEMER OF HARTFORD, CONN.

Communicated by George D. Seymoitb of New Haven, Conn., from researches
by J. Gabdneb Babtlett of Boston, Mass., and London, Eng.

During the last half century various statements have appeared in
print regarding the English home and ancestry of Richard Seamer
or Semer, one of the early settlers of Hartford, Conn., and the pro-
genitor of the Seymours of Connecticut and New York. Recent
researches in England by Mr. J. Gardner Bartlett of Boston, Mass.,
and of London have definitely settled the question, and Richard
Seamer now takes his place with men of co. Essex who followed
Rev. Thomas Hooker to Hartford. Mr. Bartlett's investigations
present the emigrant first at home at Sawbridge worth, co. Herts, on
the border of co. Essex, with his family and kinsfolk, then in the same
company at Hartford, Conn., and finally at Norwalk, Conn., where
he died and is buried. These researches, as thus far prosecuted, show

106 English Home and Ancestry of Richard Seamer [April

no connection between the family of the emigrant to New England
and the historic English family of Seymour. The writer takes great
pleasure in communicating the results of Mr. Bartlett's work to the
Register, and hopes that at some time in the near future Mr. Bart-
lett may be asked by the American family to continue his investiga-
tions in England, in order to ascertain, if possible, the home of the
emigrant's family before its settlement at Sawbridgeworth. The
writer also hopes, now that the English home and ancestry of Richard
Seamer, the emigrant, have been settled, that members of the family
interested in its history may unite in arranging to have Miss Mary
Kingsbury Talcott of Hartford prepare for the press and print the
family history on which she has been so long at work.

The evidences discovered by Mr. Bartlett in England are as fol-
lows:

ton aforesaid, 24 January [1604/5].

From the foregoing evidences, from records in New England, and
from a few other sources which will be noted, the following Seamer
pedigree has been compiled:

1. John Semare, of Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, England, born prob-
ably about 1535, grandfather of the emigrant Richard Seamer or
Semer, is the earliest member of this line who has been positively
traced. Where he was born is not known, but he evidently lived
continuously" at Sawbridgeworth from the time of his marriage until
his death, his burial taking place on 23 Oct. 1605. He left a will,
dated 7 Oct. 1605 and proved 13 Nov. 1605, an abstract of which has
been given above. Sawbridgeworth is a rural parish in co. Herts,
extending to the eastern boundary line of this county and bordering
on co. Essex. It is about twenty-five miles northeast of London, and
has at present a population of about two thousand. The local pro-
nunciation of the name is "Sapsearth."

He married first, 11 Nov. 1560, Jone Androw, who was buried
3 Oct. 1561, leaving no issue; and secondly, 9 May 1562, Dyzory
Porter, who survived him.

Children by second wife, recorded at Sawbridgeworth :

i. Annis, bapt. 6 Mar. 1562/3; mentioned in her father's will in 1605.

ii. Jone, bapt. 18 Oct. 1567; mentioned in her father's will in 1605.

hi. Mart, bapt. 28 Oct. 1570; not named in her father's will; probably
d. young.
2. iv. Robert, bapt. 30 Nov. 1573; mentioned in his father's will in 1605.

v. John, bapt. 30 Sept. 1576; mentioned in his father's will in 1605;
probably the John who m. at Ware, co. Herts (seven miles west

viii. William, bapt. 9 Feb. 1583/4; bur. 22 Aug. 1587.

2. Robert Seymer (John), of Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, Eng-
land, baptized there 30 Nov. 1573, was executor of the will
of his father in 1605. His marriage in 1603 and the bap-
tism in 1604/5 of one child, Richard, are recorded in Saw-

. bridgeworth; but it is very probable that he soon afterwards
removed to some neighboring parish, where he lived several
years, while other children were born to him, the records of
whose baptisms have not been found or may now be lost.
He was buried at Sawbridgeworth 23 Aug. 1637. He left no
will, nor can any record of administration on his estate be
found.

He married at Sawbridgeworth, 14 Nov. 1603, Elizabeth
Waller, baptized there 12 Dec. 1578, daughter and second
child of John and Elizabeth (Bayford) Waller and niece of
William Waller, the .testator of 1603, an abstract of whose
will has been given above. . .

Children:

3. i. Richard, the emigrant to New England, bapt. at Sawbridgeworth
27 Jan. 1604/5.

ii. Nathaniel (probably s. of Robert and probably b. abt. 1607). A
Nathaniel Seamer, whose parentage has not been proved, but who
may well have been a son of Robert, had one child, recorded at
Sawbridgeworth: 1. Edward, bapt. 16 Apr. 1635; bur. 11 Aug.
1635.

iii. Zechariah (probably s. of Robert and probably b. abt. 1610). A
Zechariah Seamer, whose parentage has not been established, is
found at Ware, co. Herts, only six miles west of Sawbridgeworth.
He was very likely a son of Robert, as Richard Seamer, the emi-
grant to New England, had a son Zechariah, who probably was
named for this presumed uncle. Zechariah Seamer of Ware m.
there, 13 Nov. 1637, Phebe Bennett. Child: 1. Edward, bapt.
at Ware 29 Oct. 1639.

iv. Elizabeth (possibly dau. of Robert). An Elizabeth Seamer, whose
parentage has not been established, m. at Gilston, co. Herts, the
parish adjoining Sawbridgeworth on the southwest, 5 Sept. 1639,
Humphrey Browne.

v. Mary (possibly dau. of Robert). A Mary Simmor, commonly
supposed to be a sister of the emigrant Richard Seamer,
although no proof of any relationship has been found, m.
(1) at Hartford, Conn., 29 Sept. 1644, Thomas Gridley, who d.
there in 1655; m. (2) Dea. John Langdon of Farmington, Conn.,
who d. in 1689. Children by first husband: 1. Samuel, b.
25 Nov. 1647. 2. Thomas, b. in 1650. Children by second
husband: 3. Samuel. 4. Joseph. 5. Elizabeth.

3. Richard Seamer or Semer (Robert, John), the emigrant to
New England, was baptized at Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts,
England, 27 Jan. 1604/5, the eldest child of Robert and
Elizabeth (Waller) Seymer. Between 1630 and 1637 the
records of his marriage to Mercy Ruscoe, the baptisms of three
of his children, and the burial of one of these children appear
in the parish registers of Sawbridgeworth ; but after 1637 no

110 English How& and Ancestry of Richard Seamer [April

trace of him is to be found there or in any of the neighboring
parishes. His father was buried 23 Aug. 1637; and as the
spring was the usual time for emigration to New England, it
may be concluded that he soon settled the affairs of his
father's estate and in the spring of 1638 left England for New
England, where he appears in 1639 as a proprietor and in-
habitant of Hartford, Conn. The first mention of him at
Hartford is in Feb. 1639/40, when he is found as a grantee
from William Ruscoe, who was evidently a kinsman of
Richard Seamer's wife.*

It seems probable that the emigration of Richard Seamer
to New England was due to the influence of Rev. Thomas
Hooker. This zealous Puritan minister and protochampion
of American democracy was born in Leicestershire, England,
in 1586, received from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, the
degrees of A.B. in 1608 and A.M. in 1611, became a clergy-
man, and after 1620 was settled at Chelmsford, in the centre of
the county of Essex, a region in which he taught and preached
for several years until 1630, when he was silenced for non-
conformity and driven into exile in Holland. During these
years in Essex he secured a following throughout the county,
and his influence also doubtless extended into the neighbor-
ing county of Herts, as Sawbridgeworth, the parish in that
county nearest to Chelmsford, is less than fifteen miles to the
west of the latter town and is directly on the ancient main
highway between the towns of Chelmsford and Hertford.
Hooker and some of his adherents came to New England in
1633, and others soon followed; at first they settled in New-
towne (now Cambridge), Mass., but in 1635 they began to
remove to Connecticut, where they founded the town of
Hartford. Of the one hundred and thirty-six proprietors of
Hartford listed in 1640, at least half were emigrants from the
county of Essex, England; so that when Richard Seamer
arrived in New England about 1638-9 and settled at Hart-
ford, he was in a community where he must have found many
former acquaintances from Old England besides the family of
William Ruscoe, who were his wife's relatives.

In 1651 Richard Seamer and Nathaniel and John Ruscoe
of Hartford (sons of William Ruscoe from Billericay, near
Chelmsford, co. Essex, England) were among the fourteen
original patentees of Norwalk, Conn., at least seven of whom
were of County Essex origin; and Richard Seamer and John
Ruscoe soon removed from Hartford and settled at Norwalk,
their homesteads facing each other on opposite sides of the
same street. In 1655 Richard Seamer was chosen one of
the townsmen (selectmen) of Norwalk, but he died about
September of that year, leaving a will of which his wife's
kinsman, John Ruscoe, was one of the witnesses. The page
on which this will is recorded is now damaged; but what
remains legible is as follows:

• Vide infra, p. 113.

25 October 1655. The inventory, taken by Mathew Campfeild and
Richard Olmsteed, amounted to £255. 9s. (Fairfield Probate
Records, vol. 1, p. 6.)

Richard Seamer married at Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts,
England, 18 Apr. 1631, Mercy Ruscoe, born probably about
1610, daughter of Roger Ruscoe of Sawbridgeworth, the
testator of 1618, an abstract of whose will has been given
above, by his wife Sarah, and probably granddaughter of the
Widow Hannah Ruscoe who was buried there 5 Aug. 1634,
aged about 80 years. Mercy (Ruscoe) Seamer came with
her husband to New England about 1638-9, survived him,
and married secondly, 25 Nov. 1655, as his second wife, John
Steele of Farmington, Conn., formerly of Hartford, who was
secretary of the Colony of Connecticut 1636-1639, and
deputy many times between 1639 and 1657, and who died in
1665. On 30 Oct. 1668 John Semer, Zackery Semer, and
Richard Semer acknowledged the receipt from Mr. John
Steele, deceased, of six score pounds sterling, or forty pounds
each, in full account of the legacies due them by the last will
of their father Richard Semer, deceased, the witnesses to this
receipt being Samuell Steele and Tho: Semer. (Fairfield
Probate Records, vol. 2, p. 33.)

ADDENDA

I. The Ruscoe Family of Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts

1. Roger Ruscoe or Rescoe, of Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts,
England, born probably about 1585, died 17 May 1618, having made
his nuncupative will on the previous day.* He married Sarah

, who survived him. He was probably a son of Widow Hannah

Ruscoe, who was buried at Sawbridgeworth 5 Aug. 1634, aged about 80

• Vide supra, p. 106.

years. This family name is extremely rare in England, having been
found in a very few instances and only in the counties of Essex and
Herts.* The earliest mention yet found of the name is in 1545,
when John Rouscoue, alien, was assessed 3s. 4d. for goods at Great
Dunmow, co. Essex, in a subsidy of 37 Henry VIII. (Lay Sub-
sidies, 109/297.) This place is about ten miles east of Sawbridge-
worth and the same distance north of Chelmsford. The name Ruscoe
is probably of Flemish or Dutch origin, and evidently the family came
into England during the sixteenth century, when there was consider-
able Huguenot immigration from across the English Channel, espe-
cially of textile workers, who settled in the cloth-manufacturing
towns in Essex and Suffolk.
Children :

i. Mercy, b. abt. 1610; m. (1) at Sawbridgeworth, 18 Apr. 1631,
Richard Seamer, with whom she emigrated to New England
abt. 1638-9; m. (2) 25 Nov. 1655 John Steele of Farmington,
Conn., formerly of Hartford, Conn. (Vide supra, p. 111.)

ii. John, b. abt. 1613. Child: 1. Roger, bapt. at Sawbridgeworth
16 Apr. 1637.

iii. Katherine, b. abt. 1616.

II. The Ruscoe Family of Billeeicat, co. Essex,
and of New England

1. William Ruscoe or Rescoe, born about 1593, came to New

» England in the spring of 1635 in the ship Increase, the passenger list

stating that Wm Rusco, husbandman, aged 41, his wife Rebecca,

aged 40, and his four children, Sara, aged 9, Marie, aged 7, Samvel

I aged 5, and Wm, aged 1, embarked at London 13 Apr. 1635, the father

having a certificate from the minister of Billericay, co. Essex, that he
was not a subsidy man. (Drake's "Founders of New England," p.
22.) Evidences in New England show that, in addition to the four
children above-named, William Ruscoe had also two older sons,
named Nathaniel and John, the omission of whose names from the
shipping list seems strange. This William Ruscoe was doubtless a
near relative of Roger Ruscoe of Sawbridgeworth, probably a younger
brother. The name is variously spelled Ruscoe, Rescoe, Reskewe,
Reskoe, Rescue, Rescowe, etc. Tradition in the Ruscoe family of
Norwalk, Conn., has persistently claimed a Huguenot origin for the
family.

William Ruscoe was evidently an adherent of Rev. Thomas
Hooker, as he first settled with the latter at Newtowne (now Cam-
bridge), Mass., and then in 1636 followed him to Hartford, Conn.,
where in Feb. 1639/40 he appears as a grantor to Richard Seemer,
and on 14 Dec. 1650 as a grantee from Richard Semer. (Hartford
Land Records, vol. 1, pp. 167, 77.) In Feb. 1649/50 he was appointed
to keep the prison at Hartford. Before 27 Aug. 1657 he had followed
his son John to Norwalk, Conn., as he appears in a list of inhabitants

Vital Records of Saco and Biddeford, Me.

EARLY VITAL RECORDS OF SACO
AND BIDDEFORD, ME.

Communicated by Edgab Yates, A.B., of Boston, Mass.

Ancient Saco lay "to the Eastward," at the mouth of the Saco
River. A party commanded by Richard Vines, who acted under
the direction of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, spent the winter of 1616-17
at the mouth of the river, but the settlement was discontinued after
it had served its main purpose of demonstrating that Englishmen
could live through a New England winter.* Thirteen years later
Vines and John Oldham received from the Council of Plymouth a
grant of land on the west side of the Saco River, extending four miles
along the coast and eight miles inland. Another patent conveyed a
tract of the same extent on the east side of the river to Thomas Lewis
and Richard Bonython. On 5 July 1653 sixteen leading inhabitants
of Saco, as the region included in these two patents was called, signed
an act of submission to the Massachusetts government, and the town
of Saco was incorporated, its written records beginning on 12 July
of the same year.

With the beginning of the Indian troubles in 1688 the town was
practically abandoned, and for nearly thirty years no records of
meetings for the transaction of town affairs are found. Then the
records of the General Court show that on 14 Nov. 1718 the inhabi-
tants there were "invested with the powers of a town according to
the ancient bounds thereof," and it was provided "that the name
thereof be Biddeford." In 1752 that part of the town of Biddeford
lying east of the Saco River was set off as a separate parish, which in
June 1762 was incorporated as the town of Pepperrellborough. On
23 Feb. 1805 the name of Pepperrellborough was changed to Saco.

There appear in the earliest part of the first town book, among the
records for the period 1653-1688, the names of these persons, in such
connection as to indicate that they were inhabitants:

In the same part of the first book also appear these names, but
they occur mostly in a single connection, that connection not being
such as would necessarily imply inhabitancy. Certain of them, for
instance, the Batsons, Gregory Jefery, Thomas Mills, Thomas
Sanders, and Richard More, are known from other sources to have
been inhabitants of Cape Porpoise, Wells, or other neighboring towns.

The few remaining names in this part of the book are those of
persons who palpably never were inhabitants, and therefore they are
not given here.

In a "seating " of the women in the meetinghouse, as made by the
selectmen on 9 Nov. 1674, the names appear in this order:

Mistress Pendleton, Goodwives Trustrum, Woddock, Gibbins, Comins,
Booth, Bouley, Hichcock, Tempell, Hill, Pennell, Rogers, Bouden, Elson,
Wormstall, More, Seely, Cartter, Shargnt, Gibbins, Jr., Henderson, Rule,
Sharp, Harmon, Peard, Presbere, Case, Harmon, Jr., Read, Henderson,
Edgcum, Wakfield, Booth, Leighton, Frost, Peage, Hues, Worrin, Church-
well, Harney, Chelcon, Mar.

The first book of records is in a fair state of preservation, due in
part, perhaps, to the fact that in 1859 a copy of it was made by a local
penman for the use of the general public* But between 1672 and
1688 there are only a few entries of vital records, and in 1688 all
town records cease for nearly thirty years, until the reincorporation
of the town in 1718.|

* Owing to its inaccuracies — in the vital records, at least — this copy is not of value
to the genealogist.

t Much information about those named in the early records may be found in Fol-
som's History of Saco and Biddeford and in Hon. James Pbinney Baxter's notes to his
Trelawney Papers.

: FOUR GENERATIONS OF DESCENDANTS

OF
SAMUEL HYDE OF NEWTON, MASS.

[ By Hon. William Henby Harrison Stowell of Amherst, Mass.

Two brothers, Samuel and Jonathan Hyde, were among the early
settlers in that part of Cambridge, Mass., which was known as
Cambridge Village and which in 1691 became the town of Newton.
In studying the history of these brothers and their descendants the
compiler of this article found many errors in printed statements,
these errors arising chiefly from the fact that many Hydes with the
same Christian name lived in the same neighborhood at about the
■ • same time.f In some cases wives and children had been incorrectly

assigned to husbands and fathers, and the numerous Hyde inter-
marriages made the family history still more complicated and in-
creased the chances for mistakes. It seems desirable, therefore, to
publish a correct genealogy of the descendants of these two brothers
for four generations. The present article gives the family of the
elder brother, Samuel Hyde, and a longer article, which will appear
in one or more future numbers of the Register, will treat of the family
of the younger brother, Jonathan Hyde.

1. Dea. Samuel1 Hyde was born, probably in England, about
1610, t and died at Cambridge Village (now Newton), Mass., 12 Sept.
1689, aged 79. He embarked in the ship Jonathan, from London for

* The Congregational church, -which was then being built. It has been replaced by
the present stone edifice.

t At Canterbury, Conn., five Jonathan Hydes were living at the same time. To
Mrs. Mary Lovering Holman, a genealogist of Boston, Mass., is due the credit for
straightening out the Connecticut tangle and for compiling that part of the genealogy.

t He deposed in 1662, aged "42 yeares or there abouts." (Register, vol. 32, p. 409.)

1917] Descendants of Samuel Hyde 145

Boston, in Apr. 1639, and settled at Cambridge Village* about 1640.
He married Temperance — , who probably came to New Eng-
land in the same ship with him.

With his younger brother, Jonathan, who also came over in the
same ship with" him, Samuel Hyde bought 40 acres of land in 1647
from Thomas Danforth and 200 acres in 1652 from the heirs of Na-
thaniel Sparhawk. This land was held in common by the two brothers
until 3 May 1661, when it was divided between them. (Middlesex
Deeds, vol. 3, fo. 321.) Samuel Hyde was admitted as freeman
2 May 1649. As one of the proprietors of Billerica he had 80 acres
there in the division of 1652, and Middlesex records show that
Samuel Hides of Cambridge conveyed seven pieces of land to various
parties between 1659 and 1682.

According to his will, dated 10 June 1689 and proved 1 Oct. 1689,
his grandson Samuel was to take the homestead and provide for the
widow, Temperance. After her death his farm at Watertown, of 124
acres, was to be divided among three of the children of his son Job,
viz., Samuel, John, and Sarah. The testator confirmed previous
gifts to his son Samuel and his son-in-law Thomas Woolson, and made
his wife Temperance sole executor and his brother Jonathan and
Thomas Woolson overseers. (Middlesex Probate Files, 11279.)
Children, born at Cambridge:

i. Samuel,2 b. in 1640; d. at Newton 22 July 1725; perhaps m. in
Boston, 7 Jan. 1722/3, Prudence Swanton, who m. (2) (inten-

Watertown Farms, (now Weston), where he bought several tracts
of land which he conveyed to his s. Joseph, except 30 acres to his
s. Thomas. He kept an inn from 1686 to 1708, and was selectman
in 1699, 1700, 1702, and 1703. In his will, in his own hand-
writing, dated 8 Dec. 1708 and proved 24 Apr. 1713, he mentions
eldest s. Thomas Woolson, s. Joseph Woolson, daughters Sarah
Bond, Elizabeth How, and Mary Jones, and wife Sarah, who is
named as executrix. (Middlesex Probate Files, 25623.) Chil-
dren, b. at Watertown: 1. Sarah, b. in 1661; m. at Watertown,
30 Sept. 1680, Thomas Bond, b. at Watertown 23 Dec. 1654, d.

2. Job* Hyde (SamueP), born at Cambridge in 1643, died there
19 Nov. 1685, aged 42. He married Elizabeth Fuller, born
about 1647, died at Cambridge 28 Nov. 1685, daughter of
John and Elizabeth.

Since Job Hyde and his wife both died when their children
were young, the two grandfathers, Samuel Hyde and John
Fuller, cared for the children. On 6 Apr. 1686 a petition was
presented for the division of the estate of Job Hyde, because
if the grandfather, "Decon Hide," should die, the children
would be left with nothing. The children were given as
Samuel Hide, aged 19, Elizabeth, aged 15, Mary, aged 13,
Sary, aged 12, Bethia, aged 9, Hannah, aged 6, John, aged 4,
and Jonathan, aged 2. (Middlesex Court Files.) On
24 Dec. 1694 Bethia, a minor in her 17th year, daughter of
Job, chose her uncle, John Fuller, as guardian, Hannah, a
minor in her 14th year, daughter of Job, chose her uncle,
Jonathan Fuller, as guardian, Abraham Brown was appointed
guardian of John, a minor in his 13th year, and Jonathan
Hides was appointed guardian of Jonathan, a minor in his
11th year. (Middlesex Probate Records, vol. 8, fo. 585.) In
1694 administration on the estate of Job Hyde was granted to
John Fuller, and in Mar. 1694/5 division was made between
Elizabeth, wife of William Hide, Mary, wife of Abraham
Brown, Sarah, Bethia, Hannah, John, Jonathan (the youngest
son), and Samuel (the eldest son), Samuel taking the 40 acres
given to him by his father and paying to his brothers and sis-
ters £64, their share. (Middlesex Probate Files, 11245.)

4 Apr. 1706, Hannah Dana, born at Cambridge 25 Oct. 1685,
died at Canterbury, Conn., 20 Mar. 1748 [? 1747/8], aged 62,
daughter of Jacob and Patience. She married secondly, at
Canterbury, Conn., 28 Oct. 1735, as his third wife, Henry
Adams, born at Medfield 29 Oct. 1663, died at Canterbury,
Conn., 28 June 1749.*

Jonathan Hyde was brought up by his maternal grand-
father, John Fuller, who in his will mentions Jonathan as the
youngest of the children of his daughter Elizabeth, wife of
Job Hide. (Middlesex Probate Files, 8745.) He owned the
covenant in the Cambridge church 12 Jan. 1706/7. In his will,
proved 20 Sept. 1731, he left 125 acres of land at Canterbury,
Conn., to wife Hannah, and made her executrix. (lb., 11260.)
On 14 Nov. 1746 Henry Adams of Canterbury, Conn., and
Hannah his wife, in consideration of £10 paid "by our sons,
Josiah Hides and Jonathan Hides, both of Canterbury,"
quitclaimed all their right to land in Canterbury which was
Jonathan Hides's, "y* former husband of y* said Hannah."
(Canterbury Deeds, vol. 5, p. 84.) In his will Henry Adams
gave "to the three natural daughters of my last wife, Hannah,
the goods she brought with her." Jacob Smith of Canterbury
and Ebenezer Farr, whose wives were daughters of Jonathan
and Hannah (Dana) Hyde, gave receipts 3 Aug. 1749.

* Henry Adams had married (1) 10 Dec. 1691 Patience Ellis, daughter of Thomas
and Mary (Wright) ; and (2) at Providence, R. I., Ruth Ellis, sister of his deceased wife.

t She was probably daughter of Jonathan Hyde (5), for there is no other Hyde family
in which she can be placed. She was over eighteen when Jonathan died, and therefore
no guardian was necessary for her, and she was married a few months later. She named
a son Jacob — not a Stowell name, but the name of her grandfather Jacob Dana and
also of her uncle, if she was a daughter of Jonathan and Hannah (Dana) Hyde. She
named a son Thaddeus, as did her supposed brother Jonathan (8), who also named a
daughter Abigail.

father Samuel Hides' will, by way of their mother Hannah,
his [Robert Murdock's] daughter."

He worked on the estate of his father and mother at Canter-

executrix of the will of her deceased husband Jonathan; and
in 1738 he is found at Canterbury with his wife Thankful.
He and his wife Thankful sold land in Newton, evidently her
share of her father's and mother's estate. He removed to
Brookline before 1750. In Jan. 1750 [? 1749/50] he was
ordained as a Baptist preacher in his own house at Brookline.
He was without a college education, and was one of those
known as "New Lights." In Mar. 1751 he was warned out
of Brookline. He was a friend of the First Baptist Church of
Newton.

• Vide supra, 1, v, 2, and cf. Descendants of Jonathan Hyde, 1, xix, 6. That Eliza-
beth Osland was the wife of Josiah Hyde, and not of Jonathan Hyde, as has been stated
in print, is shown by the settlement of the estate of her father, John Osland.

GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH IN ENGLAND

Communicated by the Committee on English Research

[Continued from page 33]

[The second and concluding instalment of the article on the Josselyn family,
which was begun in the Register of January 1917, not being ready for publica-
tion, the Committee on English Research communicates to the present number of
the Register a brief article relating to the English connections of the Patch
family of Salem and Beverly, Mass., and also abstracts of the wills of the two
grandfathers and a granduncle of Margaret Gifford, wife of Hugh Sargent and
grandmother of William Sargent, an early settler in Maiden, Mass. It is probable
that the rest of the Josselyn article will be published in the Register of July
1917.]

[The foregoing records show that a William Patch* was buried at South
Petherton, co. Somerset, England, 15 June 1575, and that Richard Patch,
Nicholas Patch, and Edmund Patch, who perhaps were brothers and perhaps
also were sons of William, had children baptized at South Petherton in the
last quarter of the sixteenth and early years of the seventeenth century.
From these records and from some New England records the following
pedigree has been compiled, but in using it the reader is cautioned to remem-
ber that the relationship of Richard, Nicholas, and Edmund Patch to one
another and to the William who was buried in 1575 is thus far purely con-
jectural and has not been proved from records.

* In this pedigree the accepted spelling of the present day is used for this surname.

Woodbery & Company, inhabitants of Makerell Cove," petition to
be exempted from watching, and their petition was referred to the
General Court (Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex
County, vol. 1, p. 118). At a court held at Salem, 2 Jan. 1650/1,

and Mary (White). It is possible, but hardly probable, that Mary White may not
have been the wife of this Richard (3, xi) but may have been the second wife of the
Richard who m. 26 Jan. 1606/7 Joan Lavor (vide infra, 5) or the wife of the Richard
who was baptized 31 July 1604 (vide infra, 4, vii).

_ * Possibly this may be the Richard who married, 22 Jan. 1628/9, Mary White; but
videjsupra, 3, xi, with footnote.

t In the Calendar of Wills and Administrations in the Court of the Archdeacon of
Taunton, Parts I and II, 1537-1799, published by the British Record Society, Limited,
the surname Owley is not found among the surnames of testators, but several wills of
testators named Owsley or Owslye are listed, among them the will of John Owslye of
South Petherton, in 1610.

170 Genealogical Research in England [April

Nicholas Patch was freed from training, on account of his age (t&.,
vol. 1, p. 205). "Widow Anis Woodbery, Nicholas Patch, her brother
and his wife, John Hill and his wife, Abigail Hill, Rachill Rayment,
Hanah Woodbery and John Grover" testified in a case concerning
an illegal will of Agnis Baulch [Agnes Balch] of Salem, deceased,
presented 24 Nov. 1657 (Probate Records of Essex County, vol. 1,
pp. 263-264). At a court at Salem, 26 Nov. 1673, administration
on the estate of Nicholas Patch of Beverly, deceased, intestate, was
granted to John and Thomas Patch, sons of the deceased, and the
sons presented an agreement for a division of the estate between
them, which was allowed (Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts
of Essex County, vol. 5, p. 255).
Children:

being sons of John Gifford of Twyford, as appears from a comparison of the
pedigree printed in vol. 5, pp. 176-181, of the Publications of the Harleian
Society (The Visitations of the County of Oxford) with the pedigree printed
on pp. 93-94 of Metcalfe's edition of the Visitations of Northamptonshire,

above. The Giffard or Gifford family was a well-known family of Norman

begins with the father of the testators of 1511 and 1538, has been compiled
from the two pedigrees already referred to, the two Gifford wills given
above, and a few other books which will be cited in their proper places, and
shows the position of the testators of 1511 and 1538 in the Gifford family
and their relationship to William Sargent, who settled at Maiden, Mass., in
1638.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

By Alfred Johnson, A.M., Litt-D., Recording Secretary

Boston, Massachusetts, S January 1917. A stated meeting of the Society was held
in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton Place, at 2.30 P.M., Vice-President Chase presiding.

The minutes of the December meeting were approved, and the reports of the
Corresponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the
Council reporting the names of eighteen persons who had been elected resident
members.

The speaker of the afternoon was Mary Antin, author of " The Promised Land."

The audience — by far the largest of the present season, completely filling
Wilder Hall and overflowing into the adjacent corridor — listened with sus-
tained interest throughout the address.

After calling attention to the ancient predilection of the Hebrews for the subject
of genealogy, Miss Antin gave many details of her own early life in Boston, and
went on to make various comparisons between the education which the Jewish
child and that which the American child receives in the home of its parents.
The impression conveyed was that the young Jewish immigrant not only is very
early made conversant with the history of this country but is thoroughly awakened
to the manifold opportunities that it holds out to him, and, as a result, becomes in a
surprisingly short time one of the most ardent and patriotic of American citizens.

The usual reception with refreshments followed the meeting.

7 February. The annual meeting of the Society was held this day, for a report
of which see the Supplement to the present number of the Register.

7 March. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton

! Place, at 2.30 P.M., President Baxter presiding.

The minutes of the annual meeting were approved, and the reports of the
Corresponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the
Council reporting the name of one person who had been elected corresponding
member and the names of eighteen persons who had been elected resident members.
His Excellency Samuel Walker McCall, LL.D., Governor of Massachusetts,
had been announced as the speaker of the afternoon; but he was detained by
official duties, and in his place Thomas A. Watson, a fellow worker with Professor
Alexander Graham Bell in inventing the telephone, read an illuminating and
intensely interesting paper entitled The Birth and Babyhood of the Telephone.

After Mr. Watson's address Governor McCall was presented by the President,
and made a few appropriate remarks on the subjects of history and genealogy.
The usual reception to members and their guests followed.

Clough Records. — The following records of the Clough family of Boston,
Mass., have been copied from a photograph of part of a letter from Ebenezer
Clough, dated Boston, March 24, 1838, and addressed to his son, "Mr. William
Clough, Avondale near St Charles, Missouri." The letter, which is now in my
possession, was probably given by William Clough to his son, William McNeill
Clough, my father, who died at Leavenworth, Kans., in 1883.

S Historical Intelligence

Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its
report of 5 May 1914 (see Register, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-xxiii), "that
every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter
of record that any original settler in this country inherited a coat of arms or that
any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the
arms for record with this Society," etc.

The Committee believes that the importance of the results possible to be
attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they earnestly request
all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which
they believe to be eligible to make application for recording them. The cost of
painting the arms and making up the record will have to be defrayed by the ap-
plicants, and the Committee has determined that S3.00 for each coat will barely
suffice.-

This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded
with the application. If the application is rejected, the money will be returned
unless the applicant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited for proof.
The Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any application altogether,
and if this right is exercised, the money will, of course, be returned.

It seems evident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases
. in size, there will be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the

* In the original letter this statement, here printed in three lines, extends in two lines
across the foot of the page, at a considerable distance below the last entries in the two
columns of records.

anna and directly related thereto, such as photographs of castles, armor, seals,
manor houses, etc., and provision is contemplated for filing such contributions in
supplementary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. Applica-
tions in which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements indicated
in the report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further
proof.

Printed directions for the making of applications may be obtained from the
Committee; and all communications on this subject should be addressed to the
Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash-
burton Place, Boston. ."i£2*S

Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-
uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

PROCEEDINGS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

The seventy-third annual meeting of the Society "was held on
Wednesday, 7 February 1917, at 2.30 p.m., in Wilder Hall, 9 Ash-
burton Place, Boston, a quorum being present. In the absence of
the President, who was prevented by illness from attending the
meeting, Vice-President Chase presided.

The minutes of the January meeting were read and approved, and
the monthly reports of the Corresponding Secretary, Historian, and
Council were accepted, the Council reporting the names of twenty-
two persons who had been elected resident members.

On motion it was

■
Voted, That the annual reports of the Council, including its committees, the

Librarian, the Corresponding Secretary, the Trustees of the Kidder Fund, the

Treasurer, and the Historian, being presented in print, and now in the hands of

the meeting, be accepted and ordered filed with the originals.

On motion of Rev. Lewis Wilder Hicks it was

Voted, That the New England Historic Genealogical Society hereby expresses
its appreciation of the great loss that it has sustained in the death of Nathaniel
Johnson Rust, for more than forty-six years one of its most loyal and helpful
members. As Councillor for two terms of three years each (1899-1901, 1903-
1905), as Vice-President from Massachusetts and ex officio member of the Council
for the last five years (1912-1916), and as a member for many years and at
various times of the most important financial committees of the Society (such as
the Committee on Finance, the Committee on Real Estate, and the Committee
on Ways and Means), he gave to the Society, on the many weighty problems that
have confronted it during the last two decades, the benefit of his long experience
in a successful business career and of his sound judgment, and, when called
occasionally to the chair either in the Council or in the Society, he presided with
courtesy, firmness, and fairness. The Society enters in its records at this time
this tribute to its late officer and councillor, and extends to his children its heart-
felt sympathy in their affliction.

The Chair then called for nominations for the office of Vice-
President from Massachusetts, and Hon. Charles Sidney Ensign
of Newton was nominated for that office.

On motion it was

Voted, That the Society proceed to the election of officers and councillors,
agreeable to the provisions of the By-Laws:

That three tellers be appointed by the Chair, and that said tellers shall receive,
sort, and count the ballots, and make a report to this meeting:

(ix)

X N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

That the polls be now opened, and stand open until every member present has
had opportunity to vote.

In accordance with this vote the Chair appointed as tellers Messrs.
George W. Chamberlain and J. Gardner Bartlett and Rev.
Anson Titus, and the election by ballot of officers and councillors
took place.

After the polls were closed the Chair presented as the speaker of
the afternoon Charles Eliot Goodspeed of Boston, Mass., who
read what purported to be a diary written in the early part of the
nineteenth century, but which, as the speaker divulged in closing,
was a compilation of his own. This paper was illustrated by interest-
ing lantern slides, which justified the title, American Life as Portrayed
in Early Prints.

On motion a vote of thanks to the speaker was adopted.
The tellers then reported that officers and councillors had been
elected as follows:

President
James Phinney Baxter, of Portland, Me.

Vice-Presidents
Charles Sidney Ensign, of Newton, Mass.
Henry Deering, of Portland, Me.
John Carroll Chase, of Deny, N. H.
William Wallace Stickney, of Ludlow, Vt.
William Paine Sheffield, of Newport, R. I.
George Seymour Godard, of Hartford, Conn.

Recording Secretary
Alfred Johnson, of Brookline, Mass.

Corresponding Secretary
George Andrews Moriarty, Jr., of Newport, R. I.

Treasurer
Lew Cass Hill, of Boston, Mass.

Librarian
William Prescott Greenlaw, of Winthrop, Mass.

Councillors for the term of three years, 1917, 1918, 1919
Mrs. Annie Corinne Ellison, of Belmont, Mass.
Nathan Matthews, of Boston, Mass.
James Melville Hunnewell, of Boston, Mass.

On motion it was

Voted, That the proceedings of this meeting, with the annual reports accepted,
the address of the President, and the biographical notices of deceased members,
be printed as a supplement to the April, 1917, number of the New England

PROCEEDINGS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING XI

Historical and Genealogical Register, that a copy of said supplement be
mailed to every member of the Society not receiving the Register, to the families
of members deceased during the past year, and to exchanging societies, and that
the Council be charged with the execution of this order.

Voted, That the New England Historic Genealogical Society enters on its
records at this time its appreciation of the services rendered by the retiring
. councillors, Charles Sidney Ensign and Henry Earl Parmenter, who have
during their terms of office given of their time, their thought, and their counsel
that the broad purpose of the Society, the collection and preservation of genea-
logical records for the public benefit, might be attained.

The annual address of the President was then read by the Record-
ing Secretary, and was as follows:

"In such a period of stress as this, in which even we may be in-
volved in war, it may seem inopportune for me to revert to the subject
upon which I addressed you nearly two years ago, namely, the erec-
tion in Boston of a memorial to the men who laid in New England
the foundations of popular government; but if there was ever a time
when we should cherish the ideals of our forefathers, it is a time like
this, when monarchy and its concomitant, militarism, are deluging
Europe in blood. I say that militarism is a concomitant of mon-
archy, because you and I no doubt agree that, had popular govern-
ment ruled in Europe, the present war would not have been. If I am
right, it is those really great men, who laid the foundations of a free
commonwealth, to whom we owe a debt which we can only repay by
keeping their memory ever bright. To do this, I say now, as I said
then, that their descendants should endeavor to give expression to
their ideals in a lasting memorial, which shall not only vividly pre-
serve to future generations the memory of their forefathers, but
reflect imperishable honor upon the men of this generation who
recognize their duty in honoring them.

"To accomplish this will be not only of incalculable importance to
the people of New England, but, reflectively, to the Nation, many of
whose ideals derived from the Fathers of New England have inspired
it in achieving its present position among the nations of the world.
The men who in the early part of the eighteenth century landed on
our North Atlantic shores were men of vision, animated by a great
purpose, the founding of commonwealths; and their descendants,
inheriting the virtues of their fathers, blazed a path through the vast
wilderness which barred their way to the West, until they reached the
golden gates of the Pacific, and made it possible to exclaim:
'No pent-up Utica contracts our powers,
For the whole boundless continent is ours.'

" These men, with hearts throbbing with the blood of the Fathers
of New England, and inspired by their ideals, have given to the
Nation many of its noblest characteristics, which must be cherished
and preserved, if it is to lead as the exemplar of Liberty, Justice, and
Brotherhood, among the nations of the world. But to accomplish
this these descendants of New England fathers must be united in the
purpose which, three centuries ago, animated the men in the little
cabin of the Mayflower, when they signed their names to that remark-

Xll N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

able declaration of principles, which gave vitality to our national
constitution, a declaration which the descendants of Puritans and
Pilgrims alike cherished and for which they shed their blood. We
have reached a period when without the cooperation of the millions
who bear the blood of the Founders of New England our high hopes
for the future welfare of this country may fail of fruition.

"Let us reflect upon what has happened since the day we achieved
our independence, and threw wide our gates with an all too generous
impulse of hospitality. Actuated by a laudable ambition to better
their condition, vast numbers of the people of all parts of the world,
who had been oppressed by exacting laws, flocked to our shores,
most of them valuable additions to our population. Among them,
however, were many who, unfit to avail themselves of the blessings
of free government, have proved to be a menace to the Nation's
welfare. These advocates and supporters of theories attractive to
untrained minds, if not checked, may bring on a destructive revolu-
tion. How can this be met successfully? The only answer is, by
instruction in the principles which actuated the men and women who
laid the foundations of those free commonwealths, whose principles
have been wrought into our national constitution, which the I. W. W.
and their allies would destroy and substitute in its place a thing of
their own, in which License would take the place of Liberty, Class
Favoritism the place of Equality, and the Nullification of Property
Rights the place of Justice. During the last few years we have been
receiving a larger percentage than ever of undesirable immigrants,
and, when the war closes, the nations engaged in it will hold back
their abler men and pour a flood of diseased and feeble ones into this
country, unless Congress puts up sufficient barriers, which it is hardly
likely to do.

"To the men whom dangerous theorists are daily making their
dupes the history of the Founders of our Nation is a closed book;
and I believe that the most effective way to deprive the dangerous
advocates of false theories of government of an audience is to instruct
the uninformed in the principles of those who created the early history
of our country. Our churches, our schools, all our philanthropic
agencies are doing good work in this field, but they cannot sufficiently
impress the uninstructed masses of our varied population. They
must be reached by readier means; and few will deny that a building
such as is here advocated would not only be a pious tribute to our
forefathers but a most effective method of instruction to the masses
who would throng its pictorial halls, which would visualize to them
not only those who devoted their lives to making here a refuge for
the oppressed of all lands, but the striking events of our history.
Such a temple would exert an educational influence upon the unin-
structed of incalculable worth.

"But we must not rest here. We must unite the people of New
England blood who are scattered through every State of the Union
in our undertaking. We need a roster bearing all their names, that
their influence may be consolidated in the preservation of the prin-
ciples of their forefathers. There are patriotic societies in most of
the States which may be made available in collecting these names,

PROCEEDINGS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING XII 1

which should be inscribed in a volume to be preserved forever in this
historic building. This enrolment secured, we may be sure that our
efforts will be generously seconded.

"As you remember, at the meeting more than a year and a half
ago I advocated the erection of a New England Pantheon or Temple
of Honor, and you voted that I should appoint a committee to take
the subject into consideration. That committee was appointed, and
representatives from the Massachusetts Historical Society and the
American Antiquarian Society were invited to meet it in conference.
Your committee, however, is not yet prepared to report."

The Chair presented a representative of the General Electric
Company, who extended to the men of the Society an invitation to
attend an address by President Baxter, on the proposed memorial
to the. Founders of New England, to be delivered at the Boston City
Club on 6 March.

The Chair then declared the meeting dissolved.

After the meeting the ladies of the reception committee served
refreshments to the members of the Society and their guests.

Recording Secretary.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL

Prepared by Hon. Chables Sidney Ensign, LL.B.

The reports of the committees of the Society for the year 1916
are presented with the urgent request for their perusal.

The objects of the Society have been maintained, and the general
public served as well as possible under rigid economy and limited
service. This, however, cannot be continuously sustained and the
reputation of the Library maintained unless adequate funds are
secured. A study of the reports of the Treasurer, the Committee on
Finance, and the Committee on the Library will disclose the Society's
pressing needs. Our members and friends must fully realize that
the maintenance of the work in our well-equipped building must
have their generous support, and we are confident that this will be
forthcoming when the conditions are fully understood.

Personal gifts of books and pamphlets, money donations for
binding and rebinding and for English Research, with additional
membership dues coupled with generous bequests, will enable our
work to be continued; and a personal appeal is made to every member
and friend to aid in these efforts.

The Council's year has been a busy one, and it has in harmony
sought by every means in its power to hold up the standard which
our Society has held as a leader among kindred organizations.

Through its efforts, supported by the Society, the By-Laws have
been simplified into an harmonious code, the power of election to
membership granted to it, and the compilation and publication of
genealogies of American families undertaken, all very important ad-
vancements in the Society's work.

"Upward and onward" has been the Society's aim from its or-
ganization, and a review of its seventy-two years' work shows its

accomplishments in a marked degree

The Report of the Committee on Finance, by Miss Selma Ellis
Pond, Secretary:

The Committee on Finance reports that the money derived from
the payment of the David W. Gorham mortgage ($1,000) and of
3 Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Ry. Co. 4J's, due 1 Feb. 1916, Nos.
5829-31 ($3,000), together with $100 received as gifts, was used to
reduce the indebtedness of the Society by the partial payment of a
note for $10,000, dated December 28, 1915, and falling due June 28,
1916, a new note for $5,900, dated June 28, 1916, and falling due
December 28, 1916, being given. This note for $5,900 has been
replaced by a new note for the same amount, dated December 28,
1916, and falling' due June 28, 1917.

(xv)

XVI N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Gifts to the amount of $1,310 were received during the year, in
response to the appeal of the Committee to members to help in
reducing the indebtedness of the Society.

The Report of the Committee on Wats and Means, by William
Streeter Richardson, Chairman:

Certain lines of effort which, as noted in the report of this Com-
mittee for the year 1915, had yielded only limited results, have during
1916 shown some substantial returns which are encouraging and
definitely helpful.

This work will be continued and extended in ways which, the
Committee has reason to hope, give promise of further success.

Suggestions or assistance which will help towards an increase of
the income or a reduction of the debt will be much appreciated.

The Report of the Committee on Increase of Membership, by
Richard Henry Winslow Dwight, Chairman:

The Committee on Increase of Membership has met at stated
intervals during the year 1916. At the March meeting it was
voted to send out letters to members of the various patriotic and
kindred societies, setting forth the work and needs of the Society,
and inviting them to become members. Fifteen hundred letters
have been sent out to date, with more to follow. The return in
applications for membership has been three and one third per cent.

The Report of the Committee on Sale of Publications, by William
Streeter Richardson, Chairman:

The sales of publications during the year 1916 have been about
the same as those of the past few years. The public libraries of the
country having been, by special endeavor, already supplied with
our publications, it remains only to advertise what we have to offer
to those who may be interested, and this has been carefully attended
to. The present conditions, yielding a fair average profit, offer no
avenue for particular extension. Additions to the stock by gift
during the year have been Tucker, Lawrence, Standish, Batchelder,
Blake, Dodge, Field, Foster, Oak, Ware, and Whitney genealogies,
the History of Hartford, Vt., Records by Rev. John Smith, D.D.,
of Hanover, N. H., and American Authors' Ancestry.

The Report of the Committee on Publications, by James Parker
Parmenter, A.M., LL.B., Chairman:

The Committee on Publications reports that during the year 1916,
in addition to the Register and the Proceedings at the Annual
Meeting, which together make a volume of 490 pages, the Society
has published the Vital Records of Bridgewater, in two volumes,
containing 948 pages, and the Vital Records of New Ashford, con-
taining 43 pages, the total number of pages for the year being 1481.

BEPORTS OF COMMITTEES XV11

The Society has also printed for distribution among persons in-
terested a revised edition — the eighth — of its Handbook, a little
pamphlet of 15 pages containing a brief statement of the history,
purposes, and needs of the Society, together with a list of the Officers,
Councillors, and Committees for 1916.

The Council, accepting a report of this Committee favoring an
increase in the price of the Register, voted in the spring of 1916
that, beginning with vol. 71 (January, 1917), the price of the Regis-
ter should be increased from $4.00 to $5.00 per year, and that the
price of a single number or of the Supplement to the April issue
should be $1.00. It was felt that the increased cost of producing
the magazine not only justified but made necessary this increase in
the subscription price. Notice of the increase in price was given in
the July and October issues of the magazine.

In the early summer the Council asked the Committee to consider
the advisability of extending the publication work of the Society;
and in October the Council, on the recommendation of the Committee,
voted to entrust to the Committee the work of preparing for publi-
cation and of publishing family histories in book form. The Com-
mittee has appointed a special committee to supervise such work,
and an announcement of the readiness of the Society to enter this
field of activity has been made in the advertising pages of the Reg-
ister.

Mr. Edmund Dana Barbour, whose service on the Committee
on Publications began in October 1901, found himself compelled,
by reason of the condition of his health, to decline reappointment
to the Committee for the year beginning in October 1916; and the
Committee has entered in its records, under date of 16 October
1916, the following statement:

The Committee on Publications of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society enters on its records at this time its appreciation of the valuable services
of Mr. Edmund Dana Barbour to the Committee and to the Society. As a
member of the Council of the Society for the three years 1901-1903, as the most
influential advocate of the passage by the Legislature of the Act of 1902 providing
for the publication of the vital records of Massachusetts towns, and as a member
of the Committee on Publications for fifteen consecutive years, he has given of
his time, his thought, and his counsel to promote the objects of the Society and
especially to extend its field of usefulness in the publication of genealogical
records. The Committee hereby expresses its deep regret that Mr. Barbour,
because of impaired health, is unable to remain as a member of the Committee,
and it offers to him its best wishes for future years.

The Report of the Committee on English Research, by Charles
Sherburne Penhallow, A.B., Chairman:

The Committee on English Research presents herewith a report
of its income and expenditures for the year ending 31 December
1916.

This shows a balance from the preceding year of $218.31, which,
with contributions of $759.50, makes a total of $977.81, out of which
there has been paid $598.07, leaving a balance on hand, 31 December
1916, of $379.74, as shown in the accompanying statement.

Our work has been continued the past year not without difficulties,

XV1U

N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

and at an increased expense on account of the disturbed conditions
arising from the war.

We take this opportunity of thanking those who have contributed
to our work this year, and of bringing to the attention of all members
of the Society and others interested in English research that we have
to rely entirely on these contributions to continue that work, and that
it should be continued without interruption to be of the greatest
value to the Society.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES XIX

The Report of the Committee on Heraldry, by Robert Dickson
Weston, A.B., Chairman:

During the past year the members of the Committee on Heraldry
have, as usual, given all the assistance they could to people seeking
heraldic information. The Committee has met frequently to con-
sider applications presented (pursuant to the vote of the Society of
4 November 1914) for the recording of coats of arms belonging to
"original settlers." Acting on behalf of the Society, and being
satisfied by the evidence submitted by the applicants, the Committee
has already accepted and duly recorded the arms that belonged to
original settlers whose surnames were: Appleton, Bowen, Bulkley,
Dumaresq, Gore, Pynchon, Washington, and Winthrop.

It is hoped that the number of coats recorded will at least be
doubled during the coming year.

The Report of the Committee on the Library, by George Sawin
Stewart, A.B., Secretary:

The year 1916 compared with 1915 shows an increase in the number
of genealogies acquired and in the total accessions to the Library.
It also shows an increased use of the Library. While the registration
of nonmembers was seven per cent less than in 1915, the total use
by members and nonmembers was four per cent greater in 1916.
The Library staff was still further reduced by the resignation of
Miss Winona M. Stetson in May. Owing to lack of funds this
vacancy has not been filled, the work which Miss Stetson performed
on the Library staff and for the two Secretaries being divided between
employees in the Library and in the Editorial Department. An
increase in the growth and the use of the Library with a diminished
staff is gratifying to the Committee. There are occasions, frequently,
when the average amount of service per reader available in the Li-
brary is between two and three minutes per hour. In the afternoon
the average is rarely over five minutes per hour. It behooves the
reader not to waste his opportunity by prefacing his request for
books or assistance by unnecessary statements not directly con-
nected with the search in hand. A direct and brief statement to the
attendant of what is wanted in each case is the desideratum under the
existing conditions.

The Committee again calls attention to the desirability of more
money for binding, rebinding, and the repair of books, pamphlets,
and newspapers. The Library is not holding its own in the care of
its books in this particular, let alone bringing into more active use
the accumulation of unbound material, germane to its purposes,
which it has been gathering for many years.

The Committee believes that more energetic means should be
taken to secure money for binding. This need ought to be made
known to all who use the Library, and those who are not members
should be courteously invited to help repair the wear and damage
which they cause.

Acknowledgment is due to Mr. James M. Hunnewell for valuable

XX

N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

and frequent services in enlarging the Society's collection of college
class reports.

The Committee has met with a severe loss in the death of Mr.
Frank Edson Shedd, one of its most loyal and efficient members.

The Report of the Committee on Collection op Records, by
George Walter Chamberlain, M.S., Chairman:

During the year 1916 the Society received sixty-nine manuscripts
containing genealogical information, including a collection of an-
notated almanacs covering a period of thirty-two years, between
1749 and 1806, the items in which relate to Sutton, Mass., and
Cornish, N. H.

The Chairman has tried to persuade many others to place other
manuscript records in the fireproof safe of this Society.

•A deceased member of this Society spent many years in preparing
a genealogy of the descendants of one of the Mayflower passengers.
He died without publishing it. His only daughter wished to publish
it, but illness prevented her from doing so. Recently she died with-
out mentioning it in her will. Her distant relatives left it on a table
in the home. A woman was sent to clean up the house. The
neighbors saw a bonfire in the back yard, and a most diligent search
has failed to reveal that manuscript, representing years of faithful
work which cannot be duplicated without the expenditure of hundreds
of dollars.

The Report of the Committee on Epitaphs, by Myles Standish,
A.M., M.D., S.D., Chairman:

The geographical distribution of the Committee is such that it
has not been deemed advisable to call a formal meeting of the Com-
mittee during the year, but there has been some correspondence
between the members of the Committee.

In the Register for April and for July, 1916, there was inserted
an invitation to the members of the Society to assist the Committee
in gathering copies of the inscriptions in old and disused burial
grounds, with some instruction as to the best method of procedure.
The note said that the Society would be glad to furnish sheets of
record paper suitable for binding, if members desired to undertake
the work.

There have been about a dozen such applications for the sheets,
and although no records have been returned, the work is time-con-
suming, and it is hoped that the coming year will bring some results.

The Committee has asked the Editor of the Register to republish
the notice in the forthcoming number of the Register, as the attempt
the past year has encouraged it to continue the effort.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN

XXI

The Report of the Committee on Papers and Essays, by Alfred
Johnson, A.M., Litt.D., Chairman:

2 February. — "Old Time Pewter, and Lamps and Lighting," by George
Francis Dow, Secretary of the Essex Institute, Salem, Mass.

1 March. — "Salem Ships and Ship Masters," by James Duncan Phillips, A.B.,
of Boston, Mass.

of Newton, Mass.

4 October. — "Colonial Pirates and Privateers," by Albert Bushnell Hart,
Ph.D., LL.D., Litt.D., Eaton Professor of the Science of Government, Harvard
University.

6 December. — "The Battle of Rhode Island," by Hon. Charles Warren
Lippitt, of Providence, R. I., former Governor of Rhode Island.

One of the lectures was illustrated with steropticon slides, and
one with a loan exhibit. Refreshments were served at each of the
meetings.

The average attendance for the year has been 195.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN

Presented by William Pbescott Greenlaw

The total accessions for the year number 812 volumes, 810 pam-
phlets, and 88 miscellaneous articles, an increase of eleven per cent over
the accessions of last year. Of these, 263 volumes and 71 pamphlets
were purchased; 490 volumes, 717 pamphlets, and 88 miscellaneous
articles were given; and 59 volumes and 22 pamphlets were received
in exchange. These, added to the estimated number in the Library
as reported last year, give 40,523 volumes and 41,212 pamphlets
as the approximate number in the Library on 31 December 1916.
Three hundred and thirteen genealogies were acquired during the
year, an increase of ten over the preceding year.

The Library has been enriched and the duplicate collection en-
larged through a bequest of books from the late Mrs. Susan (Vining)
Griggs and a gift of books from the library of the late Frederick
Lewis Gay.

The policy of gathering appropriate works from all sources to build
up the Library in accordance with its chartered purpose has been
continued.

The use of the Library in 1916 was about ten per cent more than
it averaged during the last few years in the old building and about
four per cent more than in 1915. While the number of visitors

.

.

XXU N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

registered in 1916 was slightly less than in the preceding year, there
was an increase in the attendance of members. A few years ago
attention was called to the occasional use of the Library for scientific
purposes by students of heredity, a use that has bad a marked
increase in 1916.

A still further reduction of the Library staff leaves the working
force too small to perform all the work that ought to be done. It
seems wise, however, to do the best that can be done with the reduced
staff, until the Society's income increases.

The most imperative need of the Library at present is money for
the repair and binding of books, pamphlets, newspapers, and manu-
scripts.

The following pages contain obituary notices of members who
died during the year 1916, with the addition of three who died in the
year 1915. The notices are arranged in the order in which the
deaths occurred.

1915

Albert Colbuen Tilden of East Boston, Mass., a resident mem-
ber since 1901, was born at Pembroke, Mass., 28 November 1862, the
son of Charles Albert and Catherine Jacobs (Glover) Tilden, and
died in Boston 4 May 1915. He traced his lineage from Nathaniel1
Tilden of Scituate, in the Plymouth Colony, through Joseph,2 Samuel,3
Samuel,4 Samuel,5 Dea. Samuel,6 Capt. Luther,7 Luther Albert,8 and
Charles Albert,9 his father.

He was educated in the public schools of Boston, graduating at
the Chapman School and later at the English High School. His
first employment was in the dry goods house of his uncle, B. F. Lara-
bee. Subsequently he entered Sheriff O'Brien's office as a clerk,
and in two years became deputy sheriff of Suffolk County, a position
which he held for twenty years, winning for himself the good will of
a wide circle of men within and without public life by his fidelity to
duty and his courtesy to all with whom he came in contact. It has
been said of him that "he was endowed with a high sense of honor,
and the nobility of his character was stamped in every act of life."
He was a devoted Republican, and before his appointment on the
shrievalty staff was one of the leaders of the party. Well known
to the judiciary and lawyers of Suffolk County, he was considered
an authority on court procedure.

He was a thirty-second degree Mason, a member of the Order of
Odd Fellows, the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Boston
City Club, and the Society of Mayflower Descendants, and was

N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Mass., 8 June 1915. He traced his descent from Thomas1 Barnes of
New Haven, through Maybee,2 Ebenezer,3 Benjamin,4 Benjamin,5
and John Wesley,6 his father.

He was educated at a select school in Springfield, Mass., at a private
academy in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and at the Bryant and Stratton
Commercial School in Cleveland, Ohio, at which he was graduated
in 1857.

He learned the machinist's trade in Cleveland. In 1858 he formed
a partnership with his older brother, his father-in-law, his brother-in-
law, and two others, and went to Tiffin, Ohio, where, under the firm
name of Smith, Barnes & Company, they engaged in the manufacture
of farm implements and machinery. In 1865 the firm was incorporated
under the name of the Tiffin Agricultural Works, and Mr. Barnes
was elected president of the company, holding this position for four
successive years. In 1869 he resigned, went to Lancaster, Ohio,
and organized the Hocking Valley Manufacturing Company, of which
he was elected president. Resigning this position in 1871, he re-
turned to Tiffin, whence he removed in the spring of 1872 to Toledo,
Ohio, where he engaged in the manufacture of brass goods and dealt
in machinists' tools and supplies under the firm name of Jona Smith
Company. He also acted as agent for the Sturtevant blowers, and
continued to do so under the above name, in 1876 as Barnes & Doo-
little, and then as A. T. Barnes & Company, Agents, until the spring
of 1879, when he came to Jamaica Plain, Mass., in the employ of
B. F. Sturtevant, as manager of the selling department of his firm. On
the death of Mr. Sturtevant in 1891 the works were incorporated as
a stock company, and Mr. Barnes's position was that of special
constructing, designing, and consulting engineer, with title of con-
structing engineer. For twelve years he designed the blowers and
superintended the work of installing them on nearly all the Govern-
ment ships that were built in the United States east of the Mississippi
River, the famous battleship Maine being one of them. He also
made the plans and superintended the heating and ventilating, by
the blower system, of the American Line steamships St. Louis and
St. Paul, the first large steamers to use this system.

Mr. Barnes served in the Civil War in the Ohio Volunteer Militia,
acting as adjutant with the rank of lieutenant. He was a Mason
and a Knight Templar, a member of the American Society of Me-
chanical Engineers, and Secretary of the Society of Naval Architects
and Marine Engineers. In religious affiliations he was a staunch
Congregationalist.

He married first, at Canton, Ohio, 5 September 1856, Mary Mar-
garet Hass, who died 18 October 1873; and secondly, at Lancaster,
Ohio, 17 November 1874, Emma Celia Mewhorter, who died in May
1882. His surviving children by his first wife are Mrs. Anna A. Van
Loo, Clara A., wife of George W. Davis, Mrs. Mary A. Poller, and
Mrs. Nellie B. Moulton; and by his second wife Mrs. Mabel 0.
Pettee and Charles 0. Barnes.

Charles Field Haseltine of Philadelphia, Pa., a resident mem-
ber since 1897, was born in Philadelphia 29 July 1840, the son of John

MEMOIRS XXXIX

and Elizabeth Stanley (Shinn) Haseltine, and died in Philadelphia
5 December 1915. He traced his descent from Robert1 Haseltine
of Rowley and Bradford, Mass., through Abraham,2 Richard,3 John,4
James,5 and John,6 his father.

He was educated at private schools in Philadelphia, and was for
two years a student in the University of Pennsylvania. After
leaving the University he began his business career as a clerk in the
Philadelphia branch house of J. G. Howe & Company, was later with
George F. Jones, and afterwards went into the dry goods commission
business by himself, under his own name. He later became a member
of the firms of Haseltine & McCape and John H. Williams & Com-
pany; but about 1868 he entered into the business of dealer in works
of art, his occupation for the rest of his life. In 1887 he erected the
Haseltine Galleries at 1416 and 1418 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia,
the finest art galleries devoted to private purposes in the world. The
building and its contents were destroyed by fire on 2 February 1896,
and over one thousand paintings, thirty thousand fine engravings
and etchings, several pieces of statuary, and a large number of other
objects of art and books on art were destroyed, entailing a loss of over
$400,000, above insurance. He continued, however, until his death
to be an importer and dealer in works of art.

At the breaking out of the Civil War an advertisement was in-
serted by him in the daily press, calling a meeting to form an artillery
company. He was elected first lieutenant of the company, which
received the name of the Keystone Battery. Owing to enforced
absence from the city on account of business, he resigned this office;
but in 1862, previous to the Battle of Antietam, when the Confeder-
ates were invading the North and the emergency seemed to be great,
he formed another battery of heavy artillery and was elected to the
same office that he had held in the former company. The com-
pany was sent on to Harrisburg, Pa., on its way to the front, but
a week later, after the Union victory, it was sent home and was
disbanded.

Mr. Haseltine held numerous positions of responsibility and honor,
among which were those of trustee of the Presbyterian Church for
about thirty-six years, elder in the same church for about thirty-two
years, trustee of the Presbyterian Hospital for about fifteen years,
director of the School of Design for Women for twenty years, and
member of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, of the Genealogical
Society of Pennsylvania, of the Topsfield (Mass.) Historical Society,
of the Skittle Club, of which he was at one time president, of the New
England Society of Philadelphia, and of the Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society in Philadelphia.

In 1897 he was engaged in preparing for publication works on
the descendants of Robert Haseltine in all lines, male and female, the
descendants of John Haseltine in all lines, the Carleton family, the
Day family of Essex County, Mass., and the descendants of Pierre
Chevalier of Philadelphia.

He married, 16 September 1863, Elizabeth Holmes Patterson, who,
with one daughter, Mrs. Abram Sharpless Valentine, survives him.

1916

Francis McGee Thompson of Greenfield, Mass., a resident
member since 1904, was born at Colrain, Mass., 16 October 1833,
the son of John and Elvira (Adams) Thompson, and died at Green-
field 1 January 1916.

He was third in descent from Joseph1 Thompson, who was born at
or near Coleraine, Ireland, in 1720, married, in 1749, Jeanette Mc-
Clellan, daughter of Michael and Margaret (Henry) McClellan, and
emigrated to New England with his wife and his wife's parents.
They resided at Worcester, Mass., and afterwards at Pelham, Mass.,
and, together with John and Hugh Henry, relatives of Joseph Thomp-
son's wife, were early settlers of Boston Township No. 2, alias Col-
rain. Joseph Thompson served in the Colonial and Revolutionary
Wars, and died at Colrain 9 April 1803, aged 83. His widow, Jean-
ette (McClellan) Thompson, died there 10 May 1813, aged 83. Of
their six sons and five daughters, Hugh2 Thompson, born 13 September
"1763,:married Jean Miller, daughter of Robert and Margaret (Henry)
Miller, Margaret Henry being a sister of the John and Hugh Henry
mentioned above. Hugh Thompson died at Colrain 13 February
1843, aged 79, and Jean, his wife, died 18 November 1829, aged 65.
Their son, John,3 who was born at Colrain 3 January 1789 and died
at Greenfield 21 September 1850, the eldest child of a family of seven
sons and one daughter, married, 1 June 1815, Elvira Adams, born at
Colrain 13 April 1796, died 29 October 1880, daughter of Capt.
Edward and Sally (Webber) Adams and seventh in descent from
Henry1 Adams of Braintree,Mass. They removed from Colrain to
Greenfield in 1843. They had four sons and four daughters, Francis
McGee4 Thompson being their seventh child and youngest son.

He was educated in the common schools of Colrain and at Williston
Seminary in Easthampton, Mass. After leaving school he taught in
Deerfield, Mass., was afterwards a bookkeeper in a manufacturing
establishment, and then was in a banking house in Cincinnati, Ohio,
and later in New York City, where he was also commissioner of
emigration for Montana. An early settler in Montana in 1862,
before its organization as a Territory, he was a member of its first
legislature and designed the seal which is now the great seal of that
State of the Union. His original drawing for this seal is preserved
by the Montana Historical Society, which he helped to organize.
Returning to Greenfield, the home of his boyhood and youth, he was
chosen successively to most of its town offices, and was in 1870
elected register of probate and insolvency for Franklin County. By
successive elections he held that position until his appointment in
1899 as judge of the Court of Probate and Insolvency, and at his
resignation in 1914 he had been connected with the Court for more
than forty-three years. In 1876 he had been admitted to the Massa-
chusetts bar. He was a commissioner to administer oaths to civil
officers, and was for one term a trial justice, but declined reappoint-
ment to the latter office. He established the business of the In-
terstate Mortgage Trust Company, and was an officer in many
corporations and societies.

MEMOIRS Xli

Many of Judge Thompson's historical writings were published in
the History and Proceedings of the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Asso-
ciation. He wrote a book entitled "Guide to the New Gold Mines
about the Headwaters of the Missouri River," St. Louis, 1863; but
his chief monument, other than his conspicuous service as a public
officer and the universal respect and affection with which he is re-
membered, is his "History of Greenfield," in two volumes, published
in 1904. This great labor of love he dedicated "To Greenfield, —
who adopted me as a lad, welcomed me home from the Rockies,
honored me by making me her servant, and, that I might forever be
her debtor, gave to me my wife."

He married at Greenfield, 25 October 1865, Mary Nims, daughter
of Lucius and Susan C. (Amadon) Nims. She died in February 1915,
their married fife having extended over nearly fifty years. Their
son, Francis Nims Thompson, born 26 August 1872, succeeded the
father in 1899 as register of probate for Franklin County and in
1914, as judge of probate.

Brave and useful to the end, Judge Thompson, on New Years' Day,
1916, sent to his old friends bright, cheerful, and witty greetings;
and, as the daylight faded, his life came to an end.

Esek Steere Ballord of Davenport, Iowa, a resident member
since 1904, was born at Bloomfield, Conn., 26 July 1830, the son of
Rev. John Bates and Augusta Maria (Gilman) Ballord, and died at
Kenilworth, Ill.j 5 January 1916. He was a descendant of William1
Ballord or Ballard of Lynn, Mass., through Nathaniel,2 William,3
Zaccheus,4 Lynde,5 and Rev. John Bates,6 his father.

He was educated at Bacon Academy, Colchester, Conn., and
received his preliminary training as a druggist at Hartford, Conn.
For two years he was an apothecary for a charitable institution in
New York City, and then for a while was a druggist at Cleveland,
Ohio. In 1857 he settled at Davenport, Iowa, where for forty-five
years he carried on his business on the same spot, first in connection
with the firm of Taylor & Ballord and later under the name of E. S.
Ballord & Company. For several years he was president and director
of the Davenport National Bank.

From boyhood Mr. Ballord had been a close observer and lover of
nature, and was well-versed in forestry; and on retiring from business
in 1903 he devoted much of his time to horticulture on his large
estate at Davenport. He was also much interested in genealogy,
and compiled a little book entitled "Some of the Descendants of
Zaccheus Ballord."

He was a charter member of the Society of the Sons of the Revolu-
tion in Iowa and also of the Society of Colonial Wars in Missouri and
in Iowa. He was also one of the founders of the Order of Runnemede.
He was a Mason, a member of the Davenport Academy of Science, a
trustee of the C. C. Cook Home for the Friendless, and a life member
of the American Sunday School Union. He belonged to the Calvary
Baptist Church of Davenport.

He married, 4 September 1862, Frances Aurilla Webb, daughter
of Zerah and Orinda (Moore) Webb, who survives him, together with

1863, he received for his bravery the Medal of Honor.

At the close of the War he entered general mercantile business at
Saxton's River, but his place of business was burned out in 1877.
He then studied law for three years. In 1878-1880 he was judge-
advocate-general of Vermont, with the rank of brigadier-general.
In 1880 he was supervisor for Vermont of the Tenth Census of the
United States. From 1SS0 until 1892 he served as a chief of division
in the Department of the Interior, at Washington, D. C. In 1892
he returned to his native State and went into business at Derby Line
with his brother, Col. Frederick Butterfield, as a manufacturer of
machinists' tools, becoming vice-president and manager of the
Butterfield Company.

In pohtics General Butterfield was a Republican, and was elected
to the Vermont House of Representatives in 1898 and to the Vermont
Senate in 1910. His religious affiliations were with the Congrega-
tionalists.

He was an officer in various manufacturing, commercial, and edu-
cational institutions, a Mason of the thirty-second degree, and a
member of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Military Order of

American Revolution, the University Club of Washington, D. C,
and the Home Club of Derby Line, Vt, In 1880 Middlebury College
conferred on him the degree of A.M., "in recognition of his courage
and bravery as a soldier and his honorable career as a citizen of
Vermont."

General Butterfield was one of the best-known men in Vermont,
and he was held in the highest esteem by reason of his upright char-
acter and the service which he had rendered to his home community,
his State, and the Nation. "He was one whose heart was ever
responsive to the needs of his fellows, and who gave with generous

memoirs xliii

large sympathy of the means at his disposal, and with his giving gave
himself to help forward every good cause."

He married, 1 June 1866, Maria Smith Frost of Saxton's River,
daughter of Benjamin and Phebe Ann (Smith) Frost, who survives
him, together with a son, Benjamin Frost Butterfield, and a daughter,
Esther Elmira Butterfield.

Archibald Murray Howe, A.M., LL.B., of Cambridge, Mass.,
a resident member since 1890, was born at Northampton, Mass.,
20 May 1848, the son of James Murray and Harriet Butler (Clarke)
Howe, and died at Cambridge 6 January 1916. He was fifth in
descent from Moses Howe of Rutland, Mass., through Samuel,
Estes, Samuel, and James Murray, his father.

He was educated in private schools at Brookline, Mass., was
graduated at Harvard College in the Class of 1869, receiving later the

1884 he was a member of the Executive Committee of the Massa-
chusetts Independents, and supported Cleveland for the Presidency.
In 1891 he represented the First Middlesex District in the Massa-
chusetts General Court. In 1900 he was nominated for Vice-Presi-
dent of the United States by a convention of Independents who met
in New York City and called their party the National Party. The
leading plank of their platform expressed opposition to the holding
of foreign peoples as colonial dependents by the United States.
Senator Caffrey of Louisiana was nominated for President by this
anti-imperialist party, but he declined to accept the nomination, and
Mr. Howe then withdrew his name as a candidate for Vice-President.
For many years Mr. Howe had a law office in Boston. In religious
matters he was a Unitarian, and in 1894 he was a director of the
American Unitarian Association.

He married at Cambridge, 4 June 1881, Arria Sargent Dixwell,

ated at Amherst College in 1848 and at the Union Theological
Seminary in New York City in 1852.

He preached for a while at Bethany, Pa., and in April 1854 was
settled over the Union Congregational Church in New York City,
remaining there until 1856. He then preached for eighteen months
in Stratham, N. H., and was afterwards settled as pastor over the

Xliv N. B. HISTOBIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

First Congregational Church of Guilford, Conn., his pastorate there
extending from 1859 to 1865. Ill health prevented hi™ from accept-
ing another charge, and he resided in Granville, Mass., from 1865 to
1872, when he removed to Auburndale. In 1900 he took up his
residence in Worcester, Mass., but returned to Auburndale in 1915.

Though without a pastorate, Mr. Smith was by no means inactive.
During his first years of residence at Auburndale he was a member of
the School Committee of Newton and was active in church and social
work. In 1908 he was sent as a delegate to the International Congre-
tional Council at Edinburgh, Scotland, and from there he was gradu-
ally led to continue his travels around the globe. He continued
remarkably active in mind and body almost to the time of his death.

Mr. Smith published "Travel Notes of an Octogenarian," in the
main a compilation from letters written by him during his tour of the
world in 1908-9. In the last year of his life a number of his sermons
preached at Guilford, Conn., were published under the title: "How
One Church went through a War." He published also an address
entitled "Sermon Reading," which he delivered without notes before
the Congregational Club of Boston.

He married first, 26 October 1853, Elinor Mary Ladd, who died
16 August 1896, daughter of Henry Ladd of Portsmouth, N. H.;
and secondly Mrs. Ellen M. (Grant) Gould, widow of Rev. George
Gould, D.D., of Worcester. She died in 1915. Three daughters
survive him: Ella B. Smith, Mrs. Dean A. Walker, and Mrs. Waldo
W. Cole.

Mks. Anna Buckham (Wright) Moore of New York City, a
resident member since 1913, was born in New York City 29 July
1859, the daughter of George Wellman and Georgianna (Buckham)
Wright, and died there 30 January 1916. She was a descendant of
Dea. Samuel1 Wright of Springfield and Northampton, Mass., through
Samuel,2 Eliezer,3 Benoni,4 Capt. Moses5 of Rockingham, Vt., Dr.
Ebenezer6 of Plainfield, N. H., John Stratton,7 and George Wellman,8
her father. On her mother's side she descended from some of the
prominent Dutch families of New York.

She was educated in Boston, New York City, and Paris, and was
a member of many patriotic-hereditary societies.

She was married, 23 June 1908, to Russell Wellman Moore, who
survives her.

William Henry Davison, A.M., of Pensacola, Fla., a resident
member since 1914, was born in Boston 24 October 1824, the son of
Andrew Cunningham and Nancy Thomas (Corbet) (Iverson) Davi-
son, and died at Pensacola 31 January 1916.

He was always deeply interested in genealogy, and spent much
time in tracing the career of the Davison family back to the old
Scotch Davison clan. He claimed descent from Malcolm Davison
of Dingwall, Scotland, through his son Nicholas and grandson Nicholas
(Nicholas1 of the New England family) , who was born in 1611 and is re-
corded at Charlestown, Mass., in 1639, being one of the prominent men
of the town and agent for Governor Cradock. This second Nicholas

MEMOIRS Xlv

had by his wife, Joanna Miller, among other children, a son, Daniel,2
born 9 January 1650/1, who became a merchant at Newbury, Mass.,
where he married in 1673 Abigail Coffin. Their son Nicholas,3 who
was born at Newbury in 1680, had a son Daniel,4 who married Mar-
garet Ogelby in 1733 and had, among others, a son, Henry5 of Boston,
who was born 12 August 1744 and died 7 March 1807. This Henry5
married Mary Greenleaf, daughter of Jonathan and Mary (Cunning-
ham) Greenleaf, and their fourth child, Andrew Cunningham6
Davison, who was born 5 June 1789 and died 27 January 1856, was
graduated at Harvard in 1815 and became a schoolmaster in Boston,
where he married, 16 May 1819, Mrs. Nancy Thomas (Corbet)
Iverson, widow of Capt. John Iverson. Their child, William Henry7
Davison, at first called Benjamin Rice Davison, is the subject of this
sketch.

A touching proof of Mr. Davison's respect for his ancestors was his
interest in the hallowed spot where many of them lie buried, the old
Granary Burial Ground in Boston. About ten years ago, when in
Boston, he had his old family tomb there put in thorough order, and
the names of his forbears cut upon the outside, with the dates of
their births and deaths, and at the bottom of the list he, the last
survivor, cut his own name and birth date and then deposited with a
friend sufficient money to cut upon the tomb the date of his own
death. In fact, it was probably his veneration for old-time New
England that led him to join this Society at the advanced age of
ninety.

He was graduated at Harvard in 1845, and received the degree of
A.M. from his alma mater in 1851. He always took a keen interest
in the College, returning often for the Commencement exercises, and
at the time of his death he was almost the oldest living alumnus, there
being but one member of the Class of 1844 and two of his own class-
mates alive. Always a reader of the best literature of all ages, he
preserved to the last his love for the classics, which showed itself in
his conversation and his letters.

He was a civil engineer, a profession that is apt to take a man to
many different parts of the country; and therefore he early left New
England for the Southwest and about 1860 took up his residence in
Florida, and served for a time in the Engineer Corps of the Con-
federate Army. For a number of years he was city engineer of
Pensacola and county surveyor, and he laid out and constructed the
fine across the Tensas Swamp, from Tensas to Mobile, Ala. In re-
lating his experiences a few years ago he wrote:

" In 1871 I for the first time in the history of engineering made use of
No. 12 steel piano forte wire in measuring bridge spans, and it was such a
complete success that it spread at once over this country and in the old
world, and, I doubt not, was the cause of the use of steel wire in the deep
sea soundings of the exploring ship ' Challenger.' At the time I regarded
the discovery as merely an incident of my work, but you know how ideas
spread."

He married at Oakfield, near Pensacola, in the sixties, Mrs. Jeanie
Cameron (Anderson) Dow, daughter of Hon. Walker Anderson, a
judge of the Supreme Court of Florida, and widow of Warren Quincy

grandchildren were as his own to him, and he passed a happy old age
in their company.

William Gardner Spear of Pembroke, Mass., a resident member
since 1896, was born at Weymouth, Mass., 26 October 1852, the son
of Lowell Quincy and Eleanor (Kennedy) Spear, and died at Framing-
ham, Mass., 31 January 1916. He traced his lineage from George1
Spear of Braintree, Mass., through Samuel,2 John,3 Seth,4 Lemuel,5
and Lowell Quincy,6 his father.

He was educated in the public schools of Weymouth and Quincy,
Mass., and in Brooklyn, N. Y.

He made his home at Quincy in the seventies, and lived there until
1903, when he moved to Pembroke, where he had bought an old
farm on North River. There he lived until a few weeks before his
death.

From 1875 to 1890 he was engaged in various enterprises that took
him over much of the eastern and southern parts of the United States.
In 1892-93 he interested Mr. Charles Francis Adams and others in
forming the Quincy Historical Society, a work which was accomplished
in the autumn of 1893. He became the librarian of the Society, a
position which he held until his removal to Pembroke. He superin-
tended the restoration of the old Adams House, which was given to
the Society by Mr. Adams and is now its headquarters.

Mr. Spear early evinced a deep interest in town and family history,
although he by no means confined his researches to those fields of
investigation. He devoted the last thirty years of his life to seek-
ing after truth along historical, genealogical, and antiquarian lines,
and he shared the knowledge thus gained with many who resorted to
him for information. An intimate friend speaks of him as a staunch
and loyal friend and as one whom all who really knew loved.

He married, in 1903, Annah Goodridge of Quincy, who survives
him.

Mrs. Lucy Ann (Lane) Norcross of Boston, made a life member
by vote of the Council and Society in 1912, was born on Poplar Street,
Boston, 13 October 1816, the daughter of George and Sarah Merritt
(Homer) Lane, and died at 9 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston,
13 February 1916, aged 99 years, 4 months. She traced her descent
from John1 Lane through John Merrifield2 Lane and her father,
George3 Lane, and from John Homer through her mother as well as
through her father's mother, Mary (Homer) Lane, — all of Boston.

She was educated at Miss Hastings's school and the Bowdoin School.
She was a life member of the American Unitarian Association and of
the Bostonian Society, and a member of and a contributor to numer-
ous charitable and educational societies. By her will she left §100,000
in public bequests, after the termination of certain life estates.

She was married at 10 Allen Street, Boston, 9 December 1835, by
Rev. Samuel Barrett of the Twelfth Congregational Church (Uni-
tarian), to her cousin, Otis Norcross, son of Otis and Mary Cunning-

ham (Homer) Norcross, a leading merchant of Boston, whose successor
in business is The Jones, McDuffee & Stratton Company. Mr.
Norcross was mayor of Boston in 1867, and was also a fife member
and a benefactor of the New England Historic Genealogical Society.
He died 5 September 1882, and a memoir of him was published in the
Register, vol. 37, pp. 208-209. Of Mrs. Norcross's eight children,
three survive her: Laura (Norcross) Marrs, widow of Kingsmill
Marrs, Otis Norcross, and Grenville Howland Norcross.

Lieut.-Col. Francis Snow Hesseltine, A.M., of Newtonville,
Mass., a resident member since 1910, was born at Bangor, Me.,
10 December 1833, the son of Peter Heald and Sarah Hamlin (Snow)
Hesseltine, and died at Newtonville 17 February 1916. He traced
his descent from Robert1 Haseltine of Rowley and Bradford, Mass.,
through Abraham,2 Jonathan,3 Nathan,4 Follansbee,5 and Peter
Heald,6 his* father. He was a descendant on his mother's side of
Nicholas Snow, who came to Plymouth in the Ann in 1623 and
married Constance Hopkins, who came over with her father, Stephen
Hopkins, in the Mayflower in 1620.

At the outbreak of the Civil War he was a student at Waterville
College (now Colby College), Waterville, Me., and enlisted in
April 1861, serving three years and four months. He aroused the
enthusiasm of the students, and, raising a company of volunteers,
was chosen captain of Company G, Third Maine Infantry (Col. Oliver
Otis Howard's regiment). He was in the First Battle of Bull Run
and received honorable mention for his services there. On recom-
mendation of General Howard he was promoted to be major and
afterwards lieutenant-colonel of the Thirteenth Maine Regiment,
and was sent to the Department of the Gulf. One of his most
remarkable achievements occurred 29 December 1863, at Matagorda
Bay, on the Texas coast, where, with one hundred men, he success-
fully repulsed and escaped from a brigade of Confederate cavalry.
For his bravery in this exploit Congress in 1865 awarded to Colonel
Hesseltine the Congressional Medal. From Waterville College he
received the degrees of A.B. (1863) and A.M. (1866), and was elected
to membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society.

In 1865 he was admitted to the bar at Augusta, Me., and from 1865
to 1870 practised his profession in Savannah, Ga. In the latter year
he returned to the North and settled in Melrose, Mass., where he
continued to reside until a few months before his death. He had a
law office in Boston, and for many years was corporation counsel for
the city of Melrose. Occasionally he contributed stories to popular
magazines.

He married first, 2 October 1853, Carrie M. Curtis of Bucksport,
Me., who died 11 June 1856; secondly, at Waterville, 7 November
1861, Mrs. Rebecca Melinda (Stark) Crosby, a widow, who died at
Melrose in 1893; and thirdly, 21 February 1900, Caroline Georgie
McNutt, daughter of John Johnson and Margaret (Hall) McNutt,
who survives him, together with three children by his second wife:
Norman Francis, Gertrude Rebecca, and Marion Elizabeth. A child
by his first wife died in infancy.

John McAllister Stevenson of Pittsfield, Mass., a resident
member since 1910, was born at Cambridge, N. Y., 31 August 1846,
the son of John M. and Seraph Huldah (Newton) Stevenson, and
died at Asheville, N. C, 20 March 1916. His grandfather, William
Stevenson, a native of Stranraer, Scotland, came to the United States
in 1795 and settled at Cambridge, N. Y., where he became a leading
merchant. He was thrice married, his second wife being Frances
Wardale McAllister, daughter of John McAllister, a well-known
merchant of Philadelphia, Pa. John McAllister Stevenson's mother
was a descendant of John Howland of the Mayflower, and several of
his ancestors were soldiers in the Revolutionary War.

He was educated in the public schools of Cambridge, Washington
Academy in Cambridge, and the Walnut Hill School at Geneva, N. Y.,
and was graduated at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., in 1865.
He then entered Yale College, but remained there only two years, his
health preventing him from taking the full four years' course. He
was then with his father at Cambridge and in New York City until
September 1872, when he went to Pittsfield, Mass., and took a posi-
tion in the office of David W. Bartlett, general agent for the Phoenix
Mutual Life Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn. After that he
occupied various positions until April 1877, when he entered into
partnership with George D. Dutton in the insurance business. Mr.
Stevenson subsequently purchased his partner's interest and formed
the firm of J. M. Stevenson & Company. For a time he was engaged
in the business with Thomas N. Enright and later with his brother,
William C. Stevenson, and William C. Moulton, now members of the
firm of Stevenson & Company. In September 1879 Mr. Stevenson
was elected secretary and treasurer of the Berkshire Mutual Fire
Insurance Company, to the interests of which he devoted much of his
time, energy, and thought, thus enabling it to become one of the
strong institutions of western Massachusetts. In January 1912 he
declined reelection as secretary and was chosen vice-president of the
Company. He was active in the affairs of the Hampshire Mutual
Fire Insurance Company, becoming its president about four years
ago, and from 1883 to 1896 he served as clerk and treasurer of the
Pittsfield Board of Underwriters. He also took an active interest in
street railway matters.

He belonged to the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descend-
ants, to the Society of Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, and to the Society of Sons of the American Revolu-
tion. He was connected with many social and charitable organiza-
tions in Berkshire County. From April 1881 to April 1906 he was
clerk of the First Congregational Parish of Pittsfield. His devotion
to the interests of the organizations of which he was secretary or clerk
is shown by the fact that he never missed a meeting at which his
presence was officially required.

Mr. Stevenson was always affiliated with the Republican Party
and was an ardent champion of its policies; but his only political
office was that of member of the General Court, to which he was twice
elected.

He married, 27 January 1880, Hattie Cooley of Pittsfield, who

he spent for many years the leisure hours from a busy life in patient,
painstaking research, which displayed rare qualities of persistence

New England."

He was elected a member of the Maine Genealogical Society in

Dempster Sherman was also a descendant of Elder William Brewster
of the Mayflower.

He was educated at home by his parents, studied for a year at the

dealer. In 1887 he was appointed assistant in architecture at Co-
lumbia, in 1888 he was made instructor in architecture there, in 1891

Kendrick Bangs, "Lyrics for a Lute," 1890, "Little Folk's Lyrics,"
1892-1897, and "Lyrics of Joy," 1904. In collaboration with
Clinton Scollard he was the author of "A Southern Flight," 1905.
In the field of pure mathematics he was regarded as a leader, and his
interest in genealogy led him to compile a voluminous work on the
Sherman family in America. In 1915 "The Ancestry of James
Morgan Sherman and his Descendants" was printed by him for
private distribution.

He was a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters and
of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.

Melvtnt Eugene Rice of South Sudbury, Mass., a resident mem-
ber since 1894, was bom in Brookfield, Vt., 22 May 1847, the son of
Alphonso and Mary (Cardwell) Rice, and died at South Sudbury
21 September 1916. He traced his descent from Edmund1 Rice of
Sudbury and Marlborough, Mass., through Thomas,2 Elisha,3 Zebu-
Ion,4 Stephen,5 and Alphonso,6 his father.

Mr. Rice went to Minneapolis, Minn., at an early age, prepared
for college, and later taught school, but owing to overwork was
unable to continue his studies. He entered the employ of a dry
goods store in Minneapolis, where he remained a short time, and
then came to Boston, where he became a clerk in the store of Hogg,
Brown & Taylor. After gaining a thorough knowledge of the busi-
ness of that establishment he, with a partner, opened in 1872 a dry
goods store in Milford, Mass., where he remained eight years. This
first business venture was a success. In the fall of 1880 he went
to Chelsea, Mass., and, buying the stock of Woodward & Lathrop
at 222 Broadway, established with a friend the firm of Rice &
Miller. At the expiration of two years the name was changed to
M. E. Rice, Mr. Rice having bought his partner's interest. After
the great fire of 1908 he contemplated retiring from business; but
he finally decided that he owed something to the city and to those
who had so long been in his employ, and the business was continued.
His eyesight becoming impaired, he was unable to give much atten-
tion to business during the last seven years of his life, although he
came often to his store. He was one of the directors of the old Win-
nisimmet National Bank, and was a director of the Chelsea Trust

Washington Mills, at Lawrence, Mass., now owned by the American
Woolen Company, and in 1887 became a member of the staff of
Lockwood, Greene & Company, continuing with this firm until his

eleven years of devoted service in Asiatic Turkey they enjoyed their
first and only furlough. Returning to Turkey in 1868, they were
connected with the mission in central Turkey until 1876, when they
were obliged to return to their native land, their health having been
greatly impaired by overwork and by their long residence in that
malarial land. They resided in Auburn, Mass., in 1876-77, then
removed to Chicopee Falls, Mass., where they remained six years,
and then took up their permanent abode in Randolph, Vt., in 1883.

He was much interested in the First Corps Cadets, Massachusetts
Volunteer Militia, being a member of the Corps for ten years and in
April 1911 becoming secretary of the Veteran Association, Independ-
ent Corps Cadets. He was or had been a member of many other
organizations, among them the University Club, Harvard Club,
Union Club, Puritan Club, St. Botolph Club, Bostonian Society, and
Young Men's Christian Union — all of Boston, the Essex Institute,
and the Society of Sons of the American Revolution. After his
marriage he took up his residence in Salem, served on the School
Committee of that city for six years, and was vice-president of the
Salem Club. In the summer of 1S94 he made an extended tour in
Europe.

He married at Salem, 26 January 1895, Mrs. Elizabeth Frothing-
ham (Safford) Hobbs of Salem, daughter of James Osborne and
Nancy Maria (Potter) Safford, who survives him, together with two
children, Elizabeth Frothingham White and Osborne White. An-
other son died in infancy.

Franklin Fogg of Tacoma, Wash., a resident member since 1914,
was born at Stuart, Iowa, 10 August 1879, the son of Charles Sumner

MEMOIRS lxv

and Delia Iowa (Seydel) Fogg, and died at Washington, D. C,
18 October 1916. He was a descendant of Samuel1 Fogg of Hampton,
N. H., through, Daniel,2 James,3 James,4 Simon,5 Simon,6 and Charles
Sumner,7 his father.

He was educated in the public schools of Stuart and Tacoma, and
for three years attended the Leland Stanford, Jr., University, but did
not receive a degree there. He engaged in the business of abstract-
ing land titles, and was the head of a land titles company.

He took an eager interest in the welfare of Tacoma, and was active
in the Tacoma Club and the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce. He
was also vice-president of the Northwest Business Men's Prepared-
ness League, and it was his firm belief in the necessity of military
and naval preparation on the part of the Nation that took him to
Washington, D. C, where he died.

He married, 8 August 1906, Alva Belle Kneeland, daughter of
William Henry and Delia Frye (Crommett) Kneeland, who survives
him, together with two young children, Gloria and Thomas.

Isaac Dimond Blodgett of Ashland, Mass., a resident member
since 1903, was born at Dorchester, N. H, 11 May 1828, the son of
Ebenezer and Sally (Cheever) Blodgett, and died at Ashland 19
October 1916. He traced his descent from Thomas1 Blodgett of
Cambridge, Mass., who came to this country in 1635, through
Daniel,2 Thomas,3 Joseph,4 Jeremiah,5 Asahel,6 and Ebenezer,7 his
father.

He was educated in the common schools and for a few terms at the
academy at Fort Covington, Franklin Co., N. Y. When seventeen
years old he taught school in Groton, N. H. At the age of eighteen
he began mercantile life in a country store at Wentworth, N. H, and
for two years he was in dry goods stores at Rollinsford and Somers-
worth, N. H. In 1851 he came to Boston, where, after holding
clerkships for ten years, he engaged in business in 1861 on his own
account, and continued, with various changes of firm name, in the
wholesale dry goods business until the end of 1883. From 1884 until
1897 he was in business in New York City. While there he was a
member of the New York Chamber of Commerce, of the New Eng-
land Society, of the Republican Club, and of the Broadway Taber-
nacle Congregational Church, and he retained his membership in this
church to the time of his death. His liberality while in New York
was shown in his subscriptions to the Metropolitan Museum o£Art
and to other worthy objects.

On reaching his seventieth birthday he retired from business, and
made his home at Ashland in the summer and at Brookline, Mass.,
in the winter. He devoted much time to genealogical work, and one
result of his efforts in this direction was a book entitled "Asahel
Blodgett of Hudson and Dorchester, N. H., his American Ancestors
and his Descendants," published in Boston in 1906.

He married, 16 March 1855, Mary L. Wentworth, who died 1 April
1907. Two children, Harriet Marcia and Frederick Sweetser Blod-
gett, survive him.

Col. Albert Cyrus Warren of Brookline, Mass., a resident
member since 1900, was born in St. Louis, Mo., 18 March 1852,
the son of Herbert Marshall and Eliza Caroline (Copp) Warren,
and died at Brookline 10 November 1916. He traced his descent
from Arthur1 Warren of Weymouth, Mass., through Jacob,2 Joseph,*
Joseph,4 Joseph,5 Jeduthan,6 Jesse,7 and Herbert Marshall,8 his
father.

His education was obtained at the New Church School, Waltham,
Mass., the Union Hall Academy, Jamaica, L. I., the high school in
Newton, Mass., and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
where he was a student for two years.

After leaving the Institute in 1872 he entered the business of soap
making, in the employ of his father. In 1876 he was placed in charge
of the business, and after the death of his father, in 1880, carried it
on in his own name for a year, and then formed with two partners,
a,t Watertown, Mass., the Warren Soap Manufacturing Company,
with an office at 143 Federal Street, Boston. In 1890 the business
was incorporated under the same name, with Colonel Warren as
treasurer of the corporation. For the last sixteen years of his life
he was a director and secretary of the Warren Brothers Company.

For many years Colonel Warren was connected with the Massa-
chusetts Volunteer Militia, being a private in Company C and in
Company L, First Regiment, from 1870 to 1873, a private, corporal,
and sergeant in Company C, Fifth Regiment, from 1879 to 1882,
and, in the same regiment, quartermaster sergeant from 1883 to
1889, first lieutenant and paymaster from 1889 to 1900, and captain
and paymaster from 3 April 1900 to 15 May 1901, when he was
appointed captain and aide-de-camp on the staff of the Second
Brigade. He was retired a few years ago with the rank of colonel.

He was a member of the Society of Colonial Wars in the Common-
wealth of Massachusetts, the Society of Sons of the Revolution, the
Order of Founders and Patriots of America, the Old Guard of Massa-
chusetts, and the Claflin Guard Veteran Association. For many
years he resided in West Newton, Mass.

He married, 2 November 1876, Flora Elizabeth Day, who, with
two daughters, Mary Warren and Mrs. William E. Patrick of New
Bedford, Mass., survives him.

Ernest Lewis Gay, A.B., of Boston, a resident member since
1901, was born in Boston 14 December 1874, the son of Dr. George
Henry and Elizabeth Greenough (Lewis) Gay, and died on a railroad
train, between New Haven, Conn., and Boston, when returning from
the Harvard- Yale football game, 25 November 1916. He was
unmarried. He traced his descent from John1 Gay of Watertown
and Dedham, Mass., through Nathaniel,2 Lusher,3 Lusher,4 Lusher,5
Willard,6 George,7 and George Henry,8 his father. He was a brother
of the late Frederick Lewis Gay, A.B., and the late Warren Fisher
Gay, A.B., M.D., and a more extended account of his ancestors may
be found in the memoir of Frederick Lewis Gay, A.B., published in
the Register of April 1917.

He was educated at the Prince School in Boston, at private

MEMOIRS lxvii

schools in Florence, Italy, and Dresden, Germany, at the Boston
Latin School, and at Harvard University, where he received the
degree of A.B. in 1897. For four months he studied law at the
Harvard Law School, and then was engaged in business until 1900.
He then took a two years' course of study at the State Library School
at Albany, N. Y., going from there to the Harvard College Library,
where he was employed from 1902 to 1904 chiefly in arranging,
classifying, and cataloguing the Moliere collection, presented to the
Library by Mr. J. H. Hyde. For the next four years he was engaged
in cataloguing and arranging various private libraries, filling also
temporarily the position of assistant librarian in the United States
Weather Bureau at Washington, D. C. In 1910 he was one of the
incorporators of the Society for the Preservation of New England
Antiquities, and was librarian of this organization until March 1915.
He was also the librarian of the University Club of Boston.

Being a grandson of Dr. Winslow Lewis, who in his day had a
library of 10,000 volumes, Mr. Gay inherited a fondness for books,
and, with a part of his grandfather's library as a nucleus, he gradually
built up a library of his own which in its special fields could hardly be
equalled. The writings of John Gay, the English poet and dramatist,
formed one of his specialties. He had every known edition of this
author, except a few variants of little significance. He contemplated
a bibliography of Gay's works, for the preparation of which no one
of his contemporaries was better equipped. His collection of New
England Primers was surpassed in quantity by only two other collec-
tions and included some of the most perfect examples known. His
collection of the writings of Cotton Mather and Increase Mather
was extensive, and the specimens were in the finest possible condition.
His collection of American almanacs of the seventeenth century was
especially noteworthy.

In the New England Historic Genealogical Society Mr. Gay was
a member of the Committee to Assist the Historian for the year 1906
and for every subsequent year until his death, except the year 1911,
when he served as chairman of the Committee on Sale of Publica-
tions. In addition to the organizations already mentioned he be-
longed to the University Club of Boston, the Harvard Club of Boston,
the Bostonian Society, the Prince Society, the Club of Odd Volumes,
the American Antiquarian Society, and the Bibliographical Society
of America.

George Austin Morrison, Jr., A.M., LL.B., of New York City,
elected a resident member 2 February 1916, was born in New York
City 26 March 1864, the son of George Austin and Lucie Anne (King)
Morrison, and died there 30 November 1916. His father, George
Austin Morrison, son of Alexander and grandson of John Morrison,
was born in the parish of Fordoun, Kincardineshire, Scotland, 30
November 1832; and his mother, Lucie Anne King, daughter of Esek
Clarke and Sarah Coe (McCullen) King, was born at New Lebanon,
N. Y., 17 December 1844. On his father's side he was related to the
family of Robert Burns, the poet.

He was prepared for college in the Cutler School, New York City,

Ixviii N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

and was graduated at Harvard University in 1887, receiving the
degree of A.B. cum laude. He studied at Columbia University,
taking there the degree of A.M. in 1888 and that of LL.B. in 1889,
and in 1890 he entered upon the practice of the law in New York
City, first as a member of the firm of Morrison & Morrison and later
under his own name. He was also interested in several corporations.

He was the author of a number of plays, as well as a writer on
antiquarian, historical, and genealogical subjects. Many of his
papers on these serious topics appeared in magazines, and the follow-
ing books were compiled by him: "Clement King, of Marshfield,
Mass., 1668, and his Descendants," 1898, "Laurent De Camp, of
New Utrecht, N. Y., 1664, and his Descendants," 1900, "The
'Clarke' Families of Rhode Island," 1902, "The Freer Family of
New Paltz, N. Y.," "The King Families in England, prior to 1675,"
and "A Memorial History of St. Andrew's Society of the State of
New York."

'Mr. Morrison was a member and trustee of the New York Genea-
logical and Biographical Society, and a member of the New York
Historical Society, the Society of Colonial Wars, the Society of the
Sons of the Revolution, the Rhode Island Society of the Cincinnati,
the Veteran Corps of Artillery of the State of New York and Military
Society of the War of 1812, St. George's Society, the St. Nicholas
Society, St. Andrew's Society of the State of New York (of which
his father had been president, and of which he was secretary for
fifteen years, second vice-president in 1910, and president in 1912
and 1913), the Metropolitan Club, the Harvard Club, and the Law-
yer's Club.

He married in New York City, 9 April 1912, Magdalen Sophrona
Worden, who survives him. They had no children.

Hon. George Sheldon of Deerfield, Mass., a resident member
since 1898, was born at Deerfield 30 November 1818, the son of Seth
and Caroline (Stebbins) Sheldon, and died there 23 December 1916,
at the advanced age of ninety-eight years. He was a descendant
of Ensign John Sheldon of Deerfield and a grandson of Capt. Joseph
Stebbins, who fought at Bunker Hill.

He was educated at the Deerfield Academy, and engaged in
farming; but, being disabled by a sunstroke, he turned to manu-
facturing, which he carried on at Chicopee, Mass., from 1853 to
1857. About 1854 he was a leader in Chicopee of the Know-Nothing
Party, and then was active in establishing the Republican Party.
From 1857 on he was prominent in the town affairs of Deerfield, and
he was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in
1867 and of the Massachusetts Senate in 1872, doing good service in
the General Court as a member of committees to preserve the Old
South Meeting House and the Bulfinch front of the State House.

Since 1867 his time was chiefly devoted to historical research and
writing and to the preservation of the historic memorials of Deerfield
and its vicinity. He was the founder of the Pocumtuck Valley
Memorial Association of Deerfield, incorporated in 1870, and was its
president until his death. With the establishment of this organiza-

MEMOIRS bdx

tion a new era of historical research in the Connecticut Valley began;
and it is chiefly owing to Mr. Sheldon's initiative and industry that
the Association now possesses, in the Sheldon Collection, one of the
most important collections of objects representing Colonial life to
be found in the United States.

Mr. Sheldon was the author of many noteworthy historical books
and articles, among which may be mentioned a history of North-
field, Mass. (prepared in collaboration with J. H. Temple), a history
of Deerfield, with genealogies, and a discussion of the attack on
Hadley, Mass., in 1675, and the alleged appearance there of Goffe,
the Regicide, in which, as many historians assert, he disproved the
story of the "Angel of Hadley." At the age of ninety-five years he
wrote a paper entitled "Don't give up the Ship," which was pub-
lished in 1914. He was a member of the Massachusetts Historical
Society.

At Mr. Sheldon's funeral Rev. Thomas Franklin Waters of Ipswich,
Mass., his friend and fellow historian, said of him: "His magic touch
has illumined and vivified the page of history and transformed what
otherwise might have been a tragic tale of bloodshed into an inspiring
picture of heroism, of undying family affection, and glorious self-
sacrifice."

Mr. Sheldon married first, 11 June 1844, Susan Stewart Stearns,
who died 7 October 1881, daughter of J. F. Stearns of Dummerston,
Vt. ; and secondly, 4 November 1897, Jennie Maria Arms of Green-
field, Mass., daughter of George A. Arms, who survives her husband.
Mr. Sheldon's son by his first wife, John Sheldon of Greenfield, first
vice-president of the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association, also
survives his father.

Levi Henry Elwell, M.A., of Amherst, Mass., a life member
since 1912, was born at Northampton, Mass., 22 March 1854, the
son of Levi Henry and Harriet Addaline (Ross) (Abbott) Elwell,
and died at Amherst 27 December 1916. He traced his descent
from Robert1 Elwell of Dorchester, Salem, and Gloucester, Mass.,
through Isaac,2 Joshua,3 Thomas,4 Moses,5 Levi,6 and Levi Henry,7
his father. His mother, Harriet Addaline Ross, was married first to
George Andrew Abbott and secondly to Levi Henry Elwell.

He was prepared for college at the Northampton High School,
and was graduated at Amherst College, with the degree of B.A.,
in 1875, receiving the degree of M.A. from Amherst in 1878. In
college he held high rank as a scholar, and was elected to the Phi
Beta Kappa Society.

For a year after receiving his first degree at Amherst he taught in
the Poughkeepsie (N. Y.) Military Institute, and then, in 1876-77,
studied Sanskrit and comparative philology at Yale. In 1877 he
returned to Amherst as an instructor in Latin and Greek, and con-
tinued to serve as instructor there in these languages and in Sanskrit
until 1890, when he was made assistant professor of Greek and
instructor in Sanskrit, receiving in 1893 the higher rank of associate
professor of Greek and instructor in Sanskrit, which he retained to

lxx N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

his death. He was connected with many organizations at Amherst,
holding the office of secretary and treasurer of his college class from
1875 to 1916 and at various times being an officer in the Philological
Club and the Ancient Language Club, and treasurer, deacon, and
clerk of the College church. He was also a trustee of the Amherst
Academy Fund, 1898-1916, and secretary of the Board of Trustees of
the Academy.

He was a member of many learned societies, among which were
the American Oriental Society, the Pali Text Society (of London),
the American Philological Association, the Society for the Promotion
of Hellenic Studies (of London), the Archaeological Institute of
America, the New England Classical Association, of the Western
Massachusetts Section of which he was secretary, and the American
Folklore Society. He was also a member of the Advisory Council of
the Simplified Spelling Board.

Professor Elwell made extensive researches in genealogy, and
published "The Family of Thomas Elwell of Hardwick, Massachu-
setts," 1900, "The Descendants of Moses Elwell, once of Goshen,
Massachusetts," 1900, "The Descendants of Thomas Elwell of
Westhampton, Massachusetts," 1902, and "Gravestone Records of
Shaftsbury, Bennington County, Vermont," 1911. He was also a
botanist of high rank, possessing valuable botanical collections and
writing occasionally articles on botany for newspapers and periodical
publications. In 1880 he was licensed to preach by the Hampshire
Association of Congregational Ministers.

He married at West Newton, Mass., 20 December 1883, Abbie
Miner Nickerson, daughter of James Henry and Mary Almona
(Cowing) Nickerson and a graduate of Vassar College in the Class of
1882, who survives him, together with the following children: Marion
Freeman Elwell, A.B. (Vassar, 1907), Florence Ross Elwell, A.B.
(Vassar, 1911), A.M. (Smith College, 1914), and James Henry
Elwell, a member of the Class of 1919, Amherst College. Another
daughter died young.

Memoirs of the following-named members of the Society may be
found as indicated:

Francis Everett Blake, in the Register of January 1917;
Frederick Lewis Gay, in the Register of April 1917.

NEW ENGLAND

HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL

REGISTER

JULY, 1917

NATHANIEL JOHNSON RUST

By Edoab Carter Rust of Brookline, Mass.

Nathaniel Johnson Rust, elected to resident membership in
the New England Historic Genealogical Society in 1870, made a
life member in 1872, a member of the Council of the Society for the
years 1899-1901 and 1903-1905, and from January 1912 until his
death Vice-President of the Society for Massachusetts, died at his
home on Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, 5 February 1917, at the
age of eighty-three years, after a very short illness.

He was born at Gorham, Me., 28 November 1833, the son of
Meshack and Martha (Frost) Rust, and was seventh in descent
from Henry1 Rust, an early settler of Hingham, Mass., and later
a resident of Boston, through Nathaniel2 of Ipswich, Mass., Lieut.
Nathaniel3 of Ipswich, Rev. Henry,4 a graduate of Harvard College
in the Class of 1707 and the first minister at Stratham, N. H.,
Col. Henry5 of Portsmouth, and Wolfeborough, N. H., William6 of
Wolfeborough, and Meshack7 of Gorham, Me., his father.*

In the death of Mr. Rust not only the Society but also the City
of Boston has lost one of the few remaining of that older school
of business men active before the Civil War, who grew and devel-
oped with the growth of the Nation, and whose courage, enterprise,
and integrity contributed much to the prosperity of Boston and
to the whole of New England.

His life, extending from 1833 to 1917, covers that period of time
in which a most important part of the growth and development of
our national life occurred; and we find outlined in him a growth
and development similar to that which was taking place in the
Nation.

The first years of his life and his whole boyhood were spent in
Gorham, Me. His mother died before he was two years old; but
his father soon married again, and he was brought up by his step-
mother, Mrs. Sally (Waterhouse) Rust, who was to him almost the
same as his own mother.

They were strong characters, both father and stepmother, and
must have had a very strong influence on his character. That
gentleness, that sensitiveness to human emotions, that sunny dis-

position, that friendly interest which all who knew him grew to love
in him, undoubtedly had their origin in the influence of his step-
mother, while that iron will, that ambition to succeed, that deter-
mination to do what was right, regardless of the consequences,
which were equally striking characteristics, can well be traced to
that stern, God-fearing New England father of his, who told his
son: "Fear God and shame the Devil."

In his boyhood days at Gorham he helped his father on the farm,
and attended school and, later, the Academy. In his sixteenth
year, at the request of his older brother, William, he went to South
Paris, Me., where he attended the Oxford Normal Institute and
assisted in his brother's drug store. There he learned the first
rudiments of the drug business, which later he was to undertake
so successfully for himself.

The horizon of South Paris, however, was too narrow for him.
After two years he determined to seek broader fields, and on 22
November 1851 he landed in Boston with ten shiny silver dollars
in his pocket, a strong constitution, and an iron determination to
make good.

His first employment was with Stephen S. Thayer, a druggist
having a store under the Revere House, then the pride of Boston
and of all New England. Nearly every celebrity coming to Boston
stayed at the Revere House and young Rust usually saw most of
them, as the ills of even the great are many, and the drug store
was sooner or later visited by most. Seeing and talking with these
people undoubtedly added fuel to his ambition. References in his
diary, such as this: "October 27, 1852, Kossuth arrived in Boston
to-day. I saw him," or again: "May 22, 1851, Heard Daniel
Webster in Faneuil Hall," and many others like these, are interest-
ing in this connection.

Leaving Mr. Thayer in 1853, he entered the employ of Messrs.
Weeks & Potter, wholesale druggists on Washington Street, and
was given, although only twenty years old, the position of head
clerk there. The next five or six years were spent in close appli-
cation to business, but a trip to New York in 1858 evidently opened
his eyes to the opportunities of a young man there, as his immediate
future will show.

In 1859, his health being poor, he took a trip to Europe, in those
times a very considerable undertaking, and this was a further broad-
ening step in his development. He was always a great reader,
interested in foreign lands and strange places, and this voj^age was
the forerunner of many others made later in life, when his lessened
activities gave him time and opportunity.

Soon after his return from Europe, as Messrs. Weeks & Potter
could not be persuaded to find a place in the firm for him, he de-
cided, inspired undoubtedly by that trip to New York in 1858, to
take a further step; and accordingly, on 9 April 1860, he entered
as a salesman the employ of Mr. Demas Barnes in New York, head
of the firm of Barnes & Park, wholesale druggists, in Park Row.
He did much travelling at this time, going to the West and the
South, and in March 1861 found himself in Washington, where he

1917] Nathaniel Johnson Rust 197

heard Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address. On his return to
New York he told Mr. Barnes, speaking of the President, "That
man means business."

At this time Mr. Barnes had many accounts owing him in the
South, and in view of impending events he was anxious about them.
The new salesman volunteered to go, saying good-humoredly that
he "guessed his neck was long enough to tie." Starting South,
therefore, on 27 March 1861, he arrived on 9 April in Charleston,
S. C, where he soon saw the beginning of hostilities by the Con-
federates. To quote again from his own record at that time:
"April 12, 1861. Awakened at 4:20 A. M. by the guns firing on
Fort Sumter." "April 14, 1861. I witnessed the bombardment,
also the surrender at 2:30 P. M." He tells us that when the flag
went down he was smoking, but that he threw the cigar away and
said that he would not smoke until the flag was up again. He
kept his word. In fact, he never took up smoking again during the
rest of his life. He continued his journey in the South, always
signing his name as from New Orleans and endeavoring to disguise
the fact that he was a "Down-East Yankee," until he reached
Montgomery, Ala., at that time the capital of the Confederacy
and the headquarters of Jefferson Davis. He apparently did not
pass muster there, for some kind soul said that they were going to
lynch a Yankee at the hotel that night, and, without stopping to
inquire which Yankee was meant, he started immediately for cooler
regions and arrived safely at New York on 4 May.

At this time his father was so lonely, his health so poor, and his
demands so urgent, that the son gave up his then splendid pros-
pects in New York and returned to Gorham, Me. This sacrifice
turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because he met there his
future wife, whose subsequent care and devotion were among the
strongest forces behind his successful career.

The inactivity in the little country town was more, however,
than he could bear for long, and he writes in his diary, under date
of 18 July 1861: "I have for long years desired that I could for a
time be secure from the toil and excitement of business life, but I
find that I am not content with leisure. My nature is excitable
and impulsive, and desires more active moments." This was evi-
dently the turning point in his career. There was no more hesi-
tation. He hewed straight to the line thereafter.

In November 1861 he travelled for John I. Brown & Son of Boston,
returning in May 1862. On 15 August 1862 he founded the co-
partnership of Carter, Rust & Company, with their place of business
at 43 Hanover Street, Boston. On 28 April of the following year
he married, at Gorham, Me., Martha Caroline Carter, daughter of
Enos and Martha (Haines) Carter.

A series of busy years followed. As the war progressed, business
boomed, prices rose, and his whole effort was centred in this new
business of his, which grew and prospered. A visit to Washington
with his wife in February 1865, in connection with which he men-
tions meeting President Lincoln and his wife at a reception, was
apparently the only distraction of note. In January 1866 the firm

198 Nathaniel Johnson Rust [July

name was changed to Rust Brothers & Bird. William A. Rust,
the older brother with whom he had learned the business at South
Paris, was not forgotten, but was brought down by the younger
brother to share in his prosperity. The next thirty years were the
most active years of his life. He was influential in the Druggists'
Association, gradually became interested in corporation enterprises
outside of his business, and was earnestly sought to enter the field
of politics. His family was beginning to grow at this time, and his
keenest pleasure was in his home life, his children, and a devoted
wife.

In 1874 he was elected a member of the Massachusetts Legis-
lature, and was reelected in 1875 and 1876. He was a strong
Republican, was chosen president of the Republican City Committee
in 1877 and 1878, and was a member of the Boston Common Council
in 1878 and 1879.

His interest in outside affairs, his excellent judgment, his high
principles, above all his wonderful sense of fairness and justice,
were becoming more and more recognized by those with whom he
came in contact, and soon he was much sought after in positions
of trust and in the management of business affairs. In January
1878 he was elected a director of the South Boston Railroad Com-
pany, and in the following year president of the Boston Druggists'
Association. It was not long after this that he was chosen a mem-
ber of the Board of Directors of the Ogdensburg & Lake Champlain
Railroad Company, of which Mr. William J. Averell was president.
Coming to Mr. Rust one day, Mr. Averell asked him if he would
not like to meet his future son-in-law, whom he was anxious to have
on the Board of Directors of that company. Mr. Rust consented,
and was presented to Mr. E. H. Harriman, who subsequently be-
came a director and began there his railroad career. As an indi-
cation of the aggressive determination of Mr. Rust and his force-
fulness in accomplishing what he believed to be right two contests of
strength between Mr. Rust and Mr. Harriman may be mentioned,
for they resulted in the decided discomfiture of Mr. Harriman and
are to be reckoned among the few defeats in railroad matters that
the latter ever experienced. In June 1882 Mr. Rust became presi-
dent of the North End Savings Bank and in 1885 president of the
Lincoln National Bank. During the next eight years his attention
was divided between his business and the Bank, the Bank gradually
acquiring the greater part of his time.

In 1890 he was again induced to hold public office, and was
elected alderman of the City of Boston for 1891 and again for 1892;
and for twenty years (1890 to 1910) he served the City as a member
of the Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners, being chairman of
the Board for seventeen years.

The panic year of 1893 was one of the hardest years of his life. He
was nearly sixty years old, and he had for some time said that when
he was sixty he would retire from active business. The strain on
him was severe, for, as he said to his wife when he returned utterly
worn out at night, "It is not my own property I am afraid of losing;
it is the property of others confided to my trust that is the cause

1917] Nathaniel Johnson Rust 199

of all my anxiety." The storm was weathered, however, and soon
afterwards he resigned the presidency of the Bank and in 1894
marked his retirement from so-called active business by taking his
wife and four children for a long trip to Europe.

In 1890 the firm name of Rust Brothers & Bird had been changed
to the Rust-Richardson Drug Company, a name which the firm
retained until 1900, when it was acquired by the Eastern Drug
Company. During this later period Mr. Rust gave only a mini-
mum of time to the drug business, as his other interests had grown
sufficiently large to occupy most of his time. He was connected
with a great many corporate enterprises, chiefly in an advisory
capacity as director or as a member of executive committees. In
the course of his career he was at various times a director in some
thirty-two different corporations and president of eight.* In his
later years he retained his full vigor, both physical and mental,
and his sound judgment and clear-headedness made his advice as
eagerly sought after as twenty-five years before.

Mr. Rust's activities were by no means confined to business and
politics. He belonged to the Boston Art Club, of which he had been
president. He was for many years deputy-governor of the Society
of Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and a
frequent attendant at the meetings both of the Council and of
the Society. In the New England Historic Genealogical Society,
of which he was a member for more than forty-six years, he not
only served on the Council for two elective terms of three years
each and for five years more by virtue of his office of Vice-President
for Massachusetts, but he was a member for many years and at
various times of the most important financial committees of the
Society, such as the Committee on Finance for the six years 1900-
1905 and again for the year 1916, the Committee on Real Estate
for the eight years of its existence, 1905-1912, and the Committee
on Ways and Means from its establishment in 1913 to his death;
and from 1903 on he was one of the three trustees appointed by
the Probate Court to administer the Kidder Fund for the benefit
of the Society. His long experience in business and finance was of
great help to the Society, especially when problems connected with
the erection of the Society's new building at 9 Ashburton Place
were pressing for solution. His death occurred only two days be-
fore the annual meeting, at which he would have been reelected
as Vice-President for Massachusetts.

Mr. Rust's wife died in April 1914, but of his five children four
survive him, namely, Martha Caroline, Mary Alice (Mrs. William
W. Cutler), Nathaniel Johnson, Jr., and Edgar Carter.

No one who had the privilege of meeting Mr. Rust was likely to

* At the time of his death Mr. Rust was a director in thirteen business corpora-
tions, via., the Boston Five Cents Savings Bank, the Boston Insurance Company,
the Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Company, the Boston Storage Warehouse Com-
pany, the Carver Cotton Gin Company, the Commercial National Bank, the Davol
Mills (of Fall River, Mass.), the Methuen Company, the Nevins Company, the New
England Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Old Colony Insurance Company, the
Pemberton Company, and the Proprietors of the Revere House; and he was also
president of three of these corporations, viz., the Boston Storage Warehouse Company,
the Carver Cotton Gin Company, and the Proprietors of the Revere House.

forget him. His personality stamped itself on the minds and memories
of nearly all those with whom he came in contact. It seemed as
if all those years which he had lived had each contributed some-
thing to his character and to his development. Can anyone forget
his smile? He carried sunshine wherever he went. His whole
being seemed to radiate sunshine and happiness. Can we who knew

t him ever forget that affectionate pat on the shoulder, that warm,
strong grip of the hand, that cheerful greeting whenever we met
him, that "Hello, young man" to everyone, whether old or young.
He was a perpetual optimist, a "bull" on the future of America
and American institutions, an ardent patriot, who seemed to feel
that he could safely leave his country, with whose national life he
had grown up, when once he knew that it had taken its stand for
the rights of humanity.

• It was the privilege of the writer to bring to Mr. Rust, in his
last sickness, the knowledge that the United States had broken with
Germany. He sat up in bed, and with tears in his eyes, replied:
"Thank God for that." He failed rapidly thereafter, and it almost
seemed as if he had been waiting for that last message from the
country which he had seen grow up from infancy to manhood.

• On the inside of the cover, at the end of the second book, several birth entries are
dimly to be seen through a cloth facing, with which the binding has been reenforced.
The official copy of the book, made in 1859 by the city clerk, in which the birth entries
are arranged by families, contains this and the next nine entries; and it is probable that
they are the entries which are now covered with the cloth reenforcement.

From Chancery Proceedings*

30 April 1646. Complaint of Daniel Hudson of Epping, co. Essex,
clothier, and Richard Joslyn of the same, yeoman, executors of the will of
Joseph Joslyn, deceased, brother of said Richard Joslyn, that one Thomas
Joslyn, uncle of Richard and Joseph Joslyn, about thirty-five years ago
made his will, and made his wife his sole executrix; and about four or five
years after making his will said Thomas Joslyn died, and his widow proved
the will, wherein said Thomas bequeathed to said Joseph Joslyn, deceased,
a certain sum of money, which by the death of his sister Dorothy amounted
to £15, to be paid to him at his age of twenty-one years. The widow, before
Joseph Joslyn attained the age of twenty-one, paid said sum to Ralph Joslyn,
father of said Joseph and Richard Joslyn and brother of Thomas Joslyn, and
said Ralph held said £15 all his life, notwithstanding that Joseph Joslyn
attained the age of twenty-one more than twenty-four years ago. Said
Ralph, and his brother Simon purchased to themselves and their heir3 a
messuage called Bollinghatch, with appurtenances, lying in Roxwell, New-
land Fee, and Writtle, valued at £70 per annum, Simon afterwards relin-
quishing his share to Ralph and his heirs. Said Ralph, having this estate and
also corn and cattle to the value of £400, made his will on 1 August 1626,
appointing his younger sons, Ralph Joslyn of Cranham, co. Essex, and
Symon Joslyn of East Hanvill, co. Essex, executors. Said Ralph Joslyn the
father died about fifteen years ago, and the will was proved by said executors.
In said will Ralph Joslyn bequeathed £200 to said Richard Joslyn in recom-
pence of £15 given him by the will of said Thomas Joslyn, to be paid within
one year after the deaths of his wife and his brother Simon Joslyn; and he
appointed that in default of payment Richard Joslyn should have a piece of
land called Highfield, containing twenty acres, parcel of said farm, to him
and his heirs for ever. Also said Ralph Joslyn by said will gave to his son
Joseph Joslyn £160 in recompense of £15 given him by the will of said
Thomas Joslyn, to be paid within two years after the deaths of his wife and
his brother Simon Joslyn; and he appointed that in default of payment
Joseph Joslyn should have wood and land called Woodfield, Spicercroft, and
; Bolhnghatch Grove, and a part of Mottshold, next the lane leading to Fam-

bridge End, to be divided by the path leading through the same from Wood-
field to Fulchers, parcel of said farm, to Joseph and his heirs for ever. Said
Ralph made his sons his residuary legatees and executors, whereby they held
said farm called Bollinghatch and lands in Newland, Roxwell, and Writtle,
co. Essex, on the conditions aforesaid. Said Ralph the father died about
four years after making his will, and said Ralph and Simon proved said will
and entered into said premises, taking the rents and profits of said farm, etc.,
and they have divided the same between themselves. Ralph took the land
devised to your orator, Richard Joslyn, and his heirs for the better securing
of said £200, and has since paid to complainant said £200; and Simon took
the land devised to Joseph and his heirs for the better securing of said £160,
and has agreed in writing with Ralph to pay the same. Dorothy Joslyn, the
mother, died about — years ago, and Simon, brother of the testator, survived
her and died two years and a quarter ago. About November 1642 said
Joseph Joslyn made his will, appointing your orator his executor, and died
in December last past, bequeathing to his brother Richard Joslyn, your
orator, £40 of said £160, to his brother Nathaniel Joslyn £40 of said £160,

to his brother-in-law Daniel Hudson £20 of said £160, to his sister Anne,
wife of said Daniel Hudson, £5 of said £160 and also £15 given him by his
uncle Thomas Joslyn, to his cousin Mary, wife of Thomas Gill, £20 of said
£160, to the four children of his brother-in-law Daniel Hudson, namely,
Daniel, Simon, William, and Elizabeth, £5 apiece of said £160, to Dorothy
and Anne, daughters of his eldest brother John Joslyn, 40s. apiece of said
£160, to Mary, daughter of said John, 20s. of said £160, and to John Owting
of Cranham £8 of said £160. And he desired that, if said Simon did not pay
the same, your orators, Richard Joslyn and Daniel Hudson, should enter into
the lands aforesaid and pay said legacies out of the same; and he made them
his residuary legatees and executors. The residue was so small that it was
not sufficient to bury him, much less to pay his debts. After probate of the
will was taken on 20 February last past, two years having elapsed since the
death of Simon Joslyn the uncle, your orators have repeatedly demanded the
£160 from Simon Joslyn the brother and Ralph Joslyn, who are both charge-
able to pay the same, but in vain; and said Simon, having got said lands into
his possession, has made great waste of the same. Your orators therefore
pray' that a writ of subpoena may be directed to said Simon Joslyn and Ralph
Joslyn, directing them to appear in court and show cause why they should
not pay the £160 or give up the lands.

22 May 1646. Answer of Simon Joscelin, one of the defendants to the
bill of complaint of Daniel Hudson and Richard Joslyn. He agrees with the
bill as to the wills of Thomas Joslyn and Ralph Joslyn, but says that Ralph
Joslyn his father and Simon Joslyn his uncle bought the said farm of Boiling-
hatch and lands jointly, and that it became his uncle Simon's by right of
survivorship. His father Ralph Joslyn died possessed of a personal estate of
£300, and the inventory of his goods overvalued his goods and comprised
many desperate debts, so that he and his brother Ralph had paid more in
legacies than their father had died possessed of. And after their father's
death, by permission of their uncle Simon, the surviving joint tenant, Ralph
and the defendant Simon entered into the lands and made a partition thereof,
and paid their mother Dorothy £20 a year during her life and their uncle
Simon Joslyn £25 a year during his life. But said Simon denies that he ever
undertook to pay said money to said Joseph or that he is liable to pay the
same to the complainants, Joseph having died before the same was due; and
he alleges that Joseph had therefore no power to dispose of the same. Com-
plainant is willing to stand trial concerning the same at the common law.
He denies ever making any waste of the property. (Chancery Proceedings,
Charles I, Bills and Answers, Bundle H. 1, no. 8.)

26 November 1646. Complaint of Daniel Hudson of Epping, co. Essex,
clothier, and Richaed Joslyn of the same, yeoman. [Complaint opens as in
the former suit.] Simon Joscelyn, brother of the complainant, being asked
for the money due to Joseph Joscelyn, now deceased, refuses to pay, some-
times affirming that their father, Ralph Joscelyn, was not solely seised of said
premises, but was jointly seised with Simon his brother, although he well
knows that their uncle Simon gave his brother Ralph, their father, a full and
clear release of the premises, and that after Ralph's death, Simon, com-
plainant's brother, and his brother Ralph, by fine and recovery or both of
them and by indentures thereupon made and sealed by them, settled by
mutual consent for the payment of said money. Your orator, Richard
Joscelyn, begs that his brothers Ralph and Simon may set forth the annual
value of the lands, one year with another, and alleges that his father left few
debts and much personal estate. Said Simon of late has contrived and set
on foot another title to said lands unto one Ralph Joslyn, clerk,* son and

lands by the death of said Joseph, and has offered to give him £100 for his
title to the lands; and Ralph, the nephew, now affirms that he has the best
rights to the lands and will spend large sums of money in suits for the recovery
thereof. Complainants beg that Ralph, the nephew, may set forth what
title he has to said lands and show cause why the complainants should not
be paid said £160, and that subpoena may be directed to said Simon Joslyn
and Ralph Joslyn, as executors of their father's will, and also to Ralph Joslyn,
their nephew, son and heir of John Joslyn, deceased, to appear before the
Court of Chancery to answer unto said premises. (Chancery Proceedings,

[Great antiquity has been claimed for the Josselyn or Jocelyn family.*
Lodge, in his peerage of Ireland, vol. 3, p. 259, of the revised edition of 1789,
asserts that "the family derives its descent from Carolus Magnus, King of
France, with more certainty than the houses of Loraine or Guise, who so
highly boast of it." In vol. 1 of the Visitations of Essex (Publications of the
Harleian Society, vol. 13) three Josselyn pedigrees are given, one of which, in
the Visitation of 1612, begins with Gilbertus Josebnus, who is called by Lodge,
loc. cit., Sir Gilbert Jocelyne, and is said to have accompanied William the
Conqueror in his expedition to England, while the other two, in the Visita-
tions of 1558 and 1612 respectively, begin with James Josselyn of Essex,
gentleman, who according to the pedigree mentioned above was fourth in
descent from the Gilbert who came with the Conqueror. Pedigrees of some
of the later generations are found in the Visitation of Essex of 1634 (Publica-
tions of the Harleian Society, vol. 13, p. 430), in the Visitations of Hertford-
shire, pp. 14, 69 (ib., vol. 22), and in the Visitation of London, vol. 2, p. 22
(ib., vol. 17).

From these pedigrees in the Visitations, corrected and expanded from other
statements in manuscripts or printed books,t from the records given in the
preceding part of this article, from other English records hereinafter men-
tioned, and from various records in New England, 'it has been possible to
compile the following pedigree of the Josselyn family and to show the descent
of the Josselyns of New England from the founder of the family in England
in the days of the Conqueror. No attempt, however, has been made in this
article to give the genealogy of the family prior to the Norman Conquest or
to separate truth from falsehood in what is alleged to be the earlier history of
the Josselyns on the Continent.^

* Among the numerous forms of the name are Joceline, Jocelyn, Josceline, Joslin,
Joslyne, Josselin, and Josselyn.

Society mentioned above, are Rose Graham's St. Gilbert of Sempringham and the Gil-
bertines, Newman's Lives of the English Saints, E. G. S. Reilly's Historical Anecdotes

France, and, returning to Semperingham, devoted himself to
works of charity, and instructed in religion and literature the
young people of the neighborhood. He became a priest, and held
the livings of Semperingham and Tyrrington. He was clerk to the
Bishop of Lincoln, but refused to accept the office of Archdeacon
of Lincoln. He founded at Semperingham an order for monks
and nuns which was later known as the Gilbertine Order. Many
miracles are said to have been wrought for those who prayed at
his tomb, and in 1202 he was canonized by Pope Innocent HI as
St. Gilbert of Semperingham, 4 Feb. being his commemoration
day.f

These arms were allowed or confirmed at the Visitation of London, 1633-4, to
Thomas Joscelin of London, gentleman, 1634, and the pedigree accompanying the arms
shows the descent of this Thomas from John" Joscelin (18). (Vide infra, 18, iii, 1.) In
1900 pedigrees of descents from the last-mentioned Thomas (of London, 1634) were
recorded at the College of Arms, and the arms and quarterings described above were
again allowed to various descendants from him, but the arms of Hide were placed in the
fourth quarter, those of Battell in the fifth quarter, and those of Enfield in the sixth
quarter. (Cf. Crisp's Visitation of England and Wales, Notes, vol. 4, pp. 32-49.)

* According to Lodge, Peerage of Ireland, vol. 3, p. 259 (revised edition of 1789),
Sir Gilbert Jocelyne was son of Egidius Josselin, a nobleman of Brittany, who crossed
into England in the reign of Edward the Confessor, about 1045. The son, Sir Gilbert,
born apparently in England, went into Normandy and returned to England with the
Conqueror. Evidence to prove these statements seems to be lacking. — Editor.

t Cf. Rose Graham's St. Gilbert of Sempringham and the Gilbertines. Miss Gra-
ham thinks that the age given for St. Gilbert at his death — 106 years — should be 100
years, the Latin word senex, "old," having been probably mistaken for the Latin sex,
" six." A life of St. Gilbert was written by a contemporary, one of his own order, at the
command of St. GUbert's successor, Abbot Roger. Cf. also Dictionary of National
Biography, sub nomine Gilbert of Sempringham.

possession of the Josselyn family, who held it for almost six hundred

lingale-Doe, co. Essex, 13 Dec. 1275.

11. Ralph" Jocelyn, of Hide Hall, Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, and of the
manor of Shellow-Bowels* in the parish of Willingale-Doe, co. Essex,
born at Shellow-Bowels 13 Dec. 1275, died after 1312-13 and before
1323. He married first Anne Sandys, eldest daughter of William;
and secondly Maud Sutton, daughter of Sir John.t Knight, who
married secondly Roger de Bemers and died in 1354-5.

Ralph Jocelyn succeeded his brother Thomas about 1284, and had
livery of his father's lands in Oct. 1297, % having proved his age.§ In
his deposition on this occasion Ralph de Merk of Roothing, co. Essex,
aged forty years, stated that Ralph Jocelyn, son of Thomas, was
. twenty-one years of age on the Feast of St. Lucy the Virgin previous,
that he was born at Shellow and was baptized in the parish church of
Willingale-Doe on the fourth day after his birth, and that he, the de-
ponent, held him at the font and gave him his name.

Ralph Jocelyn held court at Shellow-Bowels in 1298. On 8 Oct.
1302 he held one and a half knight's fees in Shellow and Sawbridge-
worth. || In 1309 he was a commissioner to collect a tax in Hertford-
shire, for the war with Scotland.^! He was living 24 Feb. 1312/13.**

12. Jeffrey12 Jocelyn, of Hide Hall in Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, and of
the manor of Shellow-Bowels or Shellow-Jocelyn in Willingale-Doe,
co. Essex, died between 1360 and 1373. He married Margaret
Rokell, daughter of Robert. On 28 Dec. 1338 he leased the manor
of Shellow-Jocelyn to Robert le Marshall of Northweld and Margery
his wife during their lives, subject to a rent charge of £6 a year during
the life of his (Jeffrey's) mother. This manor passed out of the Jos-
selyn family into the possession of the Torrell family, being called
Torrell's Hall or Shellow-Torrell; but it came again into the possession
of the Josselyns some two hundred years later (vide infra, 23).

13. Ralph13 Jocelyn, of Hide Hall in Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, succeeded
to his father's lands not later than 1373 and died about 1383. He
married Margaret de Patmer, daughter and heiress or coheiress of
John, this John de Patmer being son of John and Sara de Patmer and
grandson of Philip de Patmer of Patmer Hall and his wife, who was
daughter and heiress of John Bawde of Somerby, co. Lincoln.ft In
1373 Ralph Jocelyn held half a knight's fee in Sawbridgeworth.

• There is also a parish in co. Essex called Shellow-Bowels.

t In one of the Visitation pedigrees Sir John Sutton is called Sutton alias Dudley;
but the first John Sutton to assume the additional name of Dudley was born too late
to be the father of Ralph Jocelyn's second wife. See Herald and Genealogist, vol. 5,

window representing Sir Robert Clifford, his wife Elizabeth, and her
' first husband, Sir Ralph Jocelyn. Sir Ralph is first of record in

1433, as of Aspenden, being mentioned as one able to spend £10,
perhaps in anticipation of a royal loan. He was a member of the
Company of Drapers of London, was elected alderman from Corn-
hill Ward 29 Nov. 1456, was master of the Company of Drapers
in 1457-8, sheriff in 1458-9, auditor in 1464, lord mayor in 1464-5,
and was created a Knight of the Bath by Edward IV at the coro-
nation of his queen, Elizabeth Woodville, 24 May 1465. He was
a member of Parliament for London in 1467, and was again
elected lord mayor in 1476. If In his mayoralty Sir Ralph had the
wall of London repaired between Aldgate and Aldersgate and the
Fleet Ditch cleaned. He also corrected the abuses of the bakers

§ Hitherto all writers have agreed in assigning to Sir Ralph Jocelyn but two wives,
PhUippa and Elizabeth; but Geoffrey Chittock, citizen and draper of London, in his
will dated 16 July 1478, endows a chantry in the church of St. Swithin, London Stone,
and directs that the chantry priest shall pray for the souls of Thomas Aylesby, late
draper of London, John and Joan, parents of the said Thomas, Ralph Joscelyn, Knight,
alderman and draper, Margery and Phillip, late wives of the said_ Ralph, and Elizabeth,
his present wife [and others], this endowment being made at the instance and request of
the said Ralph. (Wills in the Court of Hustings, vol. 1, p. 584.) Perhaps Margery,
first wife of Sir Ralph Jocelyn, was identical with the Margery, widow of Thomas
Aylesby, with whom and with others, executors of the will of the said Thomas, Sir Ralph
Jocelyn in 1444 and 1446 sued the creditors of the estate of the said Thomas. (Calen-
dar of Patent Rolls, 1441-1446, pp. 215, 387.) Or perhaps Margery, the first wife of
Sir Ralph, was a daughter of Thomas Aylesby.

and victuallers. In 1471, in the Wars of the Roses, when the
Kentish levies under Thomas Neville, the Bastard of Faucon-
bridge, attacked Bishopsgate and Aldgate, London, in an attempt
to rescue Henry VI from his imprisonment in the Tower, Six Ralph
raised forces and, sallying forth, defeated Neville and his men.
From the point of view of public service he was certainly the most
prominent man of the family. He was bur. in St. Swithin's
Church, London, of which he was a benefactor, in "a fair tomb,"
which was destroyed in the Great Fire in 1666.* A memorial
brass, no longer in existence, was erected to his memory in the
church at Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, bearing the following in-
scription: "Orate pro aroma Radulphi Joslyne quondam militia
et bis Maioratus Cruitatis London qui obiit xxv. Octob. M. cccc.
lxxviii."t Because of this brass some writers have stated that
he was bur. in the Sawbridgeworth church. The inquisition
post mortem on his estate shows that he died seised of the manors
of Lynclehade and Southcotein co. Bucks; the manor of Chadewell
in Chadewell, Thurrock, East Tilbury, and West Tilbury, the
manor of Bursted, and lands and tenements in West Ham, all
in co. Essex; and the manor of Aspenden Hall in the parishes of
Buntingford, Layston, Throcking. Wyddial, Wakeley, and West-
mill, and the manor of Anstey, all in co. Herts; and that his heir
was George Josselyn, aged 50 years and more at the death of the
said Ralph, s. of his brother Thomas.}

Thomas16 Josceltn (Jeffrey1*), of Hide Hall in Sawbridgeworth, co.
Herts, died before 1478. He married, about 1426, Alice Duke,
daughter of Lewis of Dukes, co. Essex, by bis wife Anna, daughter

t Inquisitions Post Mortem, Edward IV, file 66, no. 28. Sir Henry Chauncy, in his
Historical Antiquities of Hertfordshire, published in 1700, makes a mistake which has
been repeated by all later biographers of Sir Ralph Joeelyn. This is his statement that
Sir Ralph had a son Richard, of Fidlers in Writtle, co. Essex, whose daughter Beatrice
married John Browne. According to the Visitation of Essex of 1612 (.Publications of
the Harleian Society, vol. 13, p. 163) John Browne married Beatrix, daughter to Richard
Josselyn of Fidelers in county Essex, son and heir to "Alderman Josselyn whoe lyeth
buryed at St. Mary at Hill." (A later hand, perhaps Chauncy's, has changed the place
of burial to St. Swithin's, London Stone.) Now this statement, as it stood originally,
was correct. Richard Gosselyn, ironmonger and alderman of London, in his will dated
20 Apr. 1428, requests that his body be buried in the church of St. Mary at Hill and
mentions his wife Beatrice and, among other children, his son Richard. (Wills in the
Court of Hustings, vol. 1, p. 463.) He is obviously not identical with Sir Ralph Joee-
lyn, nor did he belong to the family with which this article is concerned.^ Moreover,
the inquisition post mortem, mentioned above, states that the heir of Sir Ralph was
George Josselyn, son of Ralph's brother Thomas.

§ As has been stated above (p. 239, footnote), Katherine, daughter of Thomas,
Lord Bray, may have been the wife of Jeffrey (16) rather than the wife of his father

j| Weever's Ancient Funeral Monuments of Great Britaine, Ireland and the Bands
Adjacent, p. 550. Some authorities say that the reading in the inscription is "xx
Januar," not "ii Januar." This brass has been wrongly ascribed to the father of this
man, Jeffrey Joeelyn (14).

the priory of King's Hatfield, and in the chancel of the ancestral church
in Sawbridgeworth was erected a stately tomb, with recumbent figures
(carved in stone but now much defaced) of him and his wife Philippa.
Above is a marble tablet, bearing the inscription: "Heare Lyeth John
Jocelyn Esqr., and Philippa his wife which John Dyed Ao Dom 1525."

became Latin secretary to Archbishop Parker, under whose
direction he collected the material for "De Antiquitate Britan-
nicae Ecclesiae, " published by that prelate in 1572. He was one
of the earliest students of Anglo-Saxon, and in conjunction with
the Archbishop's son, John, compiled an Anglo-Saxon and Latin
Dictionary. He also wrote the "Lives of the Archbishops" and
the "History of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge." In 1560
the Archbishop made him a prebend of Hereford Cathedral, an
office which he resigned in 1577, when the Archbishop gave him
the living of Hollingbourne, co. Kent. In his will he bequeathed
£100 for the founding of a Hebrew lectureship at Queen's College,
and placed on record his dislike of the Church of Rome.Y

24. John19 Josselyn {Ralph,19 Ralph,17 John,1" Jeffrey,1* Jeffrey1*), of Fyfield,
Chignal-Smealy, and RoxwelL co. Essex, born about 1525, was buried
at Roxwell 18 Feb. 1578/9. He married at Fyfield, 15 Jan. 1544/5,
Alice Nevell, widow, probably the Widow Joslin who was buried at
Roxwell 31 Jan. 1600/1.

John Josselyn is first of record at Fyfield, where he lived for a year and
a half, at least, after his marriage. Between 16 June 1546, when he
is taxed at Fyfield, and 20 Apr. 1547, when he is taxed at Chignal-
Smealy, he moved to the latter parish, six miles northeast from Fyfield,
although one of his children was later baptized in the latter place, prob-
ably having been born there while her mother was visiting relatives.
At some time between 1551/2 and 1561 he moved to Roxwell, which
lies between Fyfield and Chignal-Smealy, and there he lived the rest of
his life. A glance at the map of Essex shows how close to the old an-
cestral seats of the family this branch of it remained. Fyfield is six
miles from Great Canfield, seven miles from Newhall Josselyn in
High Roding (both parishes being in co. Essex), five miles from Hide
Hall in Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, and two miles from Torrell's
Hall, anciently called Shellow-Jocelyn, in Willingale-Doe, co. Essex.
Roxwell is six miles from Newhall Josselyn, ten miles from Hide Hall,
two miles from Torrell's Hall, seven miles from Great Canfield, and
five miles from Fyfield. By a fine dated 1 and 18 May 1573 John
Josselyn acquired of William Water the property called Bollinghatch in
Newland hamlet in the parish of Roxwell, consisting of a house, gar-

* Will of Henry Josselyn, a cousin, 1653/4. (P.C.C., Ruthen, 216.)

1917] Genealogical Research in England 247

den, orchard, one hundred and forty acres of land, ten acres of meadow,
ten acres of pasture, and ten acres of wood. This property, now
called Boldinghatch, lies about two miles northeast from the church at
Roxwell and about half a mile from Good Easter, co. Essex, where in
the next generation a kinsman of John Josselyn, Rev. Jeffrey Josslyn,*
held the living for fifty years. John Josselyn held Bollinghatch of the
manor of Newland Hall, the lord of the manor, Edward Elliot, being a
connection by marriage, his daughter Elizabeth having married
Thomas Young, third cousin of John Josselyn.f At the time of his
death John Josselyn also held of the Queen a house and land called
Searles in Roxwell, with other land in Roxwell held of the manor of
Fambridge End and land called Thistledowns in Shellow-Bowels and
Willingale-Doe held of Henry Josselyn (23) as of his manor of Torrell's
Hall.
Children:

i. Helenora,20 b. and bapt. at Fyfield, co. Essex, 1 Feb. 1545/6.

ii. Thomas, of Rochford, co. Essex, yeoman, the testator of 1604/5, b.

and Nuttall. She was the testatrix of 1619, and d. be-
tween 11 Oct. 1619 and 8 Feb. 1619/20. Thomas Josselyn was
heir to his father's lands, and it is to his will that we owe our
knowledge of his father's family. He was a staunch Puritan, as
his bequests to Puritan ministers show.

iii. Alice, bapt. at Fyfield, co. Essex, 13 Jan. 1549/50; probably d.

* This Puritan clergyman is called "kinsman" in the will of Thomas Josselyn (24,
ii), but the relationship between the two men is not quite clear. The clergyman
may possibly have been the son Jeffrey mentioned in the will of Simon, son of Ralph
(22), or he may have been one of the descendants of Jeffrey, son of John (18). If he
■was the son of Simon, who was the Jefferye Joslyn to whom Thomas (24, ii) remitted a
debt in his will? Rev. Jeffrey Josslyn entered Jesus College, Cambridge, at Easter
1571, was made B.A. in 1574/5 and M.A. in 1578, was vicar of Shellow-Bowels, 1581-
1585, and of Good Easter, 1585-1635, both in co. Essex, and died in 1635.

25. Sir Thomas20 Josselyn (Henry,1* Sir Thomas,1* John,17 George,1'
Thomas lb Jeffrey1*), of Torrell's Hall in Willingale-Doe, co. Essex,
Knight, was born about 1567.* The date of bis death has not been
discovered. He married first, at Hatfield-Broad-Oak, co. Essex, in
Apr. 1589, Dorothy (Frank) Scott, who died 17 May 1602, daughter
of John and Cicely Frank of Hatfield-Broad-Oak and widow of George
Scott, by whom she had two daughters; and secondly, about 1603,
Theodora (Cooke) Bere, who was buried at Bexley, co. Kent, 13
Aug. 1635, daughter of Edmund Cooke of Lesnes Abbey, Erith, and
Mount Mascall, Bexley, co. Kent, by his wife Elizabeth (daughter
and coheiress of John Nichols), and widow of Clement Bere of Dart-
ford, co. Kent, by whom she had two sons and a daughter. The first
marriage of Sir Thomas took place two months after the death of his
wife's first husband, in her father's house, during the absence of her
parents,! by a strange minister, contrary to the law of the Church,
which made it obligatory for the couple to be married in the parish
church of one of the parties, by the vicar or rector thereof, or by licence.
Because of these circumstances both bride and groom were excommu-
nicated, and the sentence of excommunication was not removed until
15 Oct. 15904 Sir Thomas was knighted by King James I on 11 May
1603. He lived at Torrell's Hall in Wilhngale-Doe, co. Essex, at
Littleport in the Isle of Ely, co. Cambridge, in 1622, and probably
also on his second wife's property in co. Kent. He was appointed by
Sir Ferdinando Gorges deputy-governor of all his possessions in New
England, and sailed to New England in the ship Nicholas, arriving at
Black Point, in what is now the State of Maine, 14 July 1638.§ He
returned to England before 3 September 1639.

§ Cf. The Trelawney Papers.

f| Fearing that she would not survive her child's birth (she lived only nine days
thereafter), Elizabeth (Brooke) Josselyn wrote a touching letter to her unborn child, in
which she gently but earnestly exhorted her son or daughter to piety and good conduct.
To this was prefixed a letter to her husband, giving him sensible advice on bringing
up the child. In 1624 these letters were published under the title: The Mother's Leg-
acie to her Unborne Childe, and other editions followed. Cf. Dictionary of National
Biography.

England, where he arrived as early as 1634. By 1638 he had
settled at Black Point. In 1636 he was appointed by Sir Ferdi-
nando Gorges steward-general, and in 1645 became deputy-
governor of Maine. He took the oath of allegiance to the Massa-
chusetts Bay government in 1658, and in 1661 was appointed by
King Charles H one of the commissioners to have charge of the
Province. Owing to the Indian raids he moved from Black Point

Dorothy Frank, sued the executor of their uncle, Peter Frank, for a bequest left to
them, being two of the nine children of said Dorothy. They stated that they came of
age ' ' about a month ago, " and therefore they were born about Jan. 1601 /2. (Chancery

duction by Professor Tuckerman to his edition of John Josselyn's New-Englands
Rarities Discovered, published in Boston in 1865, but, if their mother died 17 May
1602, this can hardly be correct.

first Anne , who was buried at Bishops-Stortford 29 Nov.

1624; and secondly, about 1630, Helen , who survived him.

His father gave him lands valued at £800, including Chalk End,
which still exists as a name in Roxwell, but these he sold, and moved
about 1619 to Bishops-Stortford, where he was a maltster. About
1631 he moved to Bumpstead, where he engaged in farming and lost
the rest of his estate.

preached at Cranham, co. Essex, the home of his uncle Ralph,
and taught school at Upminster, co. Essex, from Nov. 1640 to
Mar. 1640/1, and was then presented to the living of Earl's Colne
by Richard Harlakenden of the Priory, Earl's Colne.* This
living he retained until his death, being also for part of the time
master of the grammar school there. His diary, which he seems to
have begun in 1644, contains much that is interesting.! He men-
tions the death of the son of his cousin Abraham (28, ii) and later
the visit of Abraham to England. The letters which he tells of
writing to New England were probably to his uncle Thomas (28)
and to his cousins there. He made various collections for New
England and for the education of the Indians there. Like the
rest of the family, he was a Puritan; but he managed to escape
the penalties for refusing to wear the surplice until near the end
of his life, when he records that he wore the surplice, "which I
see no sin to use." During the Civil War he was chaplain to Col.
William Harlakenden's regiment, preached the assize sermon at
Chelmsford, co. Essex, in 1646, and in 1652 and 1659/60 preached
at St. Paul's Cathedral by request of the lord mayor of London.
The executions of Archbishop Laud and King Charles, the siege
of Colchester, the Great Plague, and the Great Fire of London
are also mentioned by him. He was involved in a lawsuit with
his uncles over a portion of the ancestral property at Roxwell,
which he finally obtained by a compromise and by the payment
of £100.J One of his parishioners left him her lands, and by care-
ful business dealings he amassed a considerable estate, so that he
was able to give to his daughters generous portions on their
marriages. Children, b. at Earl's Colne: 1. Mary,73 b. 12 Apr.

28. Thomas21 Josselyn (Ralph,20 John,13 Ralph,19 Ralph,17 John,16 Jef-
frey,16 Jeffrey1*), of Roxwell, co. Essex, and Barham, co. Suffolk,
England, and of Hingham and Lancaster, Mass., probably born at
Roxwell late in 1591, died at Lancaster 3 Jan. 1660/1. He married,

in England, about 1615, Rebecca , who survived him aDd

married secondly, at Lancaster, 16 May 1664, William Kerley of
Lancaster. She evidently died before her second husband, as in
the will of the latter, dated 26 July 1669 and proved 19 July 1670,
she is not mentioned.

Thomas Joslin, as he spelled the name, probably received his
portion of his father's estate at the time of his marriage, as his
father, in his will of 1626, bequeathed to him only £5. As the bap-
tisms of his children are not recorded in the parish registers of Rox-
well, it is certain that he was not living there when his children
were born. He was of Barham, co. Suffolk, just before his emi-
gration to New England, and his daughter Mary was baptized
at Barham 16 Mar. 1633/4. In Apr. 1635 he embarked for New
England in the Increase of London, the passenger list containing
the names of Tho: Jostlin, husbandman, aged 43, Rebecca his wife,
aged 43, Eliza: Ward, a maid servant, aged 38, and the follow-
ing children of the said Tho: Jostlin: Rebecca, aged 18, Dorothy,
aged 11, Nathaniell, aged 8, Eliza, aged 6, and Mary, aged 1.* On
his arrival in New England he settled in Hingham, where he was a
proprietor and town officer, and bought land of his son-in-law
Thomas Nichols in 1638. He and his son Nathaniel sold their lands
at Hingham 11 Mar. 1652/3 to George Lane and Moses Collier, and
removed to Lancaster, where Thomas signed the civil compact
12 Nov. 1654. In his will, dated 9 May 1660 and proved 2 Apr.
1661, he appoints his wife Rebecca executrix, and mentions his sons
Abraham and Nathaniel, grandson Abraham (son of Abraham), and
daughters Rebecca Nichols, wife of Thomas, Mary Sumner, wife of
Roger, and Elizabeth "Emons."

It has been supposed by some writers that the kinship between
Thomas Joslin or Josselyn and the more noted Henry Josselyn and
John Josselyn of Maine was very close, one writer representing
Thomas as the elder half brother of Henry and John.f Although this
kinship was a somewhat distant one, in old historic families like the
Josselyns the ties of blood were strong, and as Torrell's Hall, the
ancestral home of Henry and John, was but a mile from Bollinghatch
in Roxwell, where Thomas Joslin passed his youth, it seems certain
that they were well known to one another. It also seems probable
that, having no children of his own to inherit his property, Henry
Josselyn induced his kinsman Thomas to send to him his eldest son
Abraham, intending to make him his heir. Abraham certainly went
to Scarborough, Me., and lived there for seven years. Whether he
quarrelled with his kinsman or tired of the wilderness is not clear,
but he returned to his relatives in Lancaster. He died several years
before his kinsman Henry, and it is not known what disposition was
made of the property of the latter.

* Cf. Drake's Founders of New England, p. 20, and Hotten's Original Lists,
p. 55.

t In 1886 Mr. William M. Sargent communicated to the Registeb (vol. 40, p. 293)
the conjecture of a member of the Josselyn family of Ipswich, co. Suffolk, Eng., that
Thomas Josselyn, son of Ralph [26] of Roxwell, co. Essex, was identical with the
Thomas Josselyn who emigrated to New England in 1635. This conjecture, however,
was at that time unsupported by proof, and the member of the family who made it
admitted also that he could not trace " the origin of this branch of the Josselyn family,
nor its connection, if any, with the Torrel's Hall branch."

first at Hingham, Mass., and when his parents and brother moved
to Lancaster, Mass., he moved to Black Point or Scarborough,
Me., where his kinsman Henry Josselyn was living. About 1659
he sold his property in Scarborough, which included a hill referred
to in deeds as Abraham Josselyn 's "great hill," and removed to
Boston about 1660. By 1663 he had rejoined the rest of the
family at Lancaster, which was his residence until his death. In
his will he mentions his wife, his eldest son Abraham, and his son
Henry, whom he desires to be good to his brothers and to take
one of them to learn his trade. Children: 1. A sonP (perhaps
by an earlier marriage), d. before 1 Sept. 1644. 2. Abraham,.

* Middlesex (Mass.) Court Files.

t The Middlesex (Mass.) court records give this death as that of Nathaniel son of
"Nath. Josline," but this is obviously an error. Nathaniel Josselyn (28, iv) had a sou
Nathaniel, who. was born 21 June 1658 and died 5 Mar. 1726/7, and he could not have
been identical with the boy Nathaniel who died 8 June 1667. If it is conjectured that
the Nathaniel who was born 21 June 1658 did die 8 June 1667, and that his parents
named a younger son, who lived until 1726/7, Nathaniel, then this younger Nathaniel,
born probably at least a year after 8 June 1667 (unless he were twin with the daughter
Elizabeth, who was born 7 June 1667), would be too young to marry Esther Morse on
8 Feb. 1682/3. Yet it is certain that the Nathaniel who married Esther Morse was
son of Nathaniel (28, iv) and Sarah (King), for in 1703/4 Nathaniel and Esther sell land
formerly belonging to their grandfather Thomas King. It seems, therefore, clear that
it was Nathaniel son of Abraham who died 8 June 1667, especially as there is no other
record of him after his birth record and as he does not appear with his brothers in the
quitclaim deed of 1693/4 {vide supra, 28, ii, 6).

FOUR GENERATIONS OF DESCENDANTS

OF
JONATHAN HYDE OF NEWTON, MASS.

By Hon. William Henbt Haerison Stowell of Amherst, Mass.

1. Sergt. Jonathan1 Hyde, younger brother of Dea. Samuel Hyde,
whose descendants for four generations form the subject of an article
in the Register of April 1917,* was born, probably in England,
about 1626,t and died intestate at Newton, Mass., 5 Oct. 1711, aged
85. In Apr. 1639 he embarked in the ship Jonathan, bound from
London for Boston, his elder brother Samuel crossing the Atlantic
in the same ship with him, and in 1647 he settled at Cambridge
Village (now Newton), Mass.J He married first Mary French,
born in England about 1633, died at Cambridge 27 May 1672, aged
39, daughter of Lieut. William and Elizabeth of Billerica; and
secondly, at Cambridge, 8 Jan. 1673/4, Mary Rediat, born prob-
ably at Sudbury about 1650, died at Newton 5 Sept. 1708, daughter
of John and Ann (Dolt) of Marlborough.

With his brother Samuel he bought 40 acres of land in 1647 from
Thomas Danforth and 200 acres in 1652 from the heirs of Nathaniel
Sparhawk. This land was held in common by the two brothers until
3 May 1661, when it was divided between them. (Middlesex Deeds,
vol. 3, fo. 321.) He and his first wife, Mary, were received into full
communion in the church 8 Jan. 1661/2, and he was admitted as a
freeman 27 May 1663. He made a marriage contract with John
Rediat, the father of his second wife, 2 Jan. 1673/4. (lb., vol. 6, fo.
169.) In 1691 he was selectman of Newton. On 7 Mar. 1707

years.

t In the Vital Records of Cambridge (printed) the birth record of a Samuel Hide,
son of Jonathan and Mary, born 24 May 1652, is given; but this seems to be another
record of the birth of the Samuel (twin) who was born 23 May 1653.

Williams; but the deeds of which brief abstracts are given below prove that there were
two Eleazers, each with a wife Mary, and show which Eleazer Williams married Mary
Hide.

§ It has been claimed that Lydia was the first wife of Eleazer Williams, and that
her sister Mary was his second wife. Eleazer Williams, however, could not have
married Lydia Hyde before he married her sister Mary, for Lydia was less than seven
years old when the first child of Eleazer and Mary was born; and he could not have
married Lydia later, because his first wife outlived him. The date of Lydia's death
is unknown. Vide supra, 1, xvi.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

By Alfred Johnson, A.M., LittD., Recording Secretary

Boston, Massachusetts, 4 April 1917. A stated meeting of the Society was held
in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton Place, at 2.30 P.M., Vice-President Ensign presiding.

The minutes of the March meeting were approved, and the reports of the
Corresponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the
Council reporting the names of twenty-one persons who had been elected resident
members.

Claude Moore Fuess, Ph.D., a member of the faculty of Phillips Academy,
Andover, Mass., and author of a recently published history of that school, read
a scholarly paper, not without touches of humor, entitled Some Old New England
Academies, in which he traced the origin and evolution of the New England
academy.

Remarks were made by the Principal of Durnmer Academy and by Vice-
President Chase, and a vote of thanks to the speaker was adopted.

After adjournment the usual reception was enjoyed by the members and their
friends.

2 May. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton
Place, at 2.30 P.M., Vice-President Chase presiding.

The minutes of the April meeting were approved, and the reports of the Corre-
sponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the Council
reporting the names of twenty-eight persons who had been elected resident
members.

On motion it was

Voted, That the New England Historic Genealogical Society hereby enters in its
records its high appreciation of the faithful service rendered by the late Charles Sidney
Ensign in every position to which he was called by vote of the Council or of the Society.
During his membership of more than a quarter of a century he was repeatedly ap-
pointed to important committees in the Society, being at the time of his death Chair-
man of the Committee on the Library and of the Special Committee on Revision of
the By-Laws; he was elected by the Society four times as Councillor, once as Corre-
sponding Secretary, and recently, at the annual meeting in February last, as Vice-
President for Massachusetts; and he had shown his conspicuous ability as a presiding
officer again and again when summoned to act as Chairman pro tempore of the meetings
of the Council or of the Society. By his death the Society has lost a loyal member, an
able and conscientious officer, and a sincere friend. The Society hereby expresses its
deep sorrow at Mr. Ensign's death, and offers to his widow and children its heartfelt
sympathy in their affliction.

On motion of Mr. George Walter Chamberlain it was

Voted, That at the stated meeting of this Society in October next an election be
held, in accordance with the By-Laws, to fill the vacancy now existing in the office of
Vice-President for Massachusetts.

284 Notes [July

The Recording Secretary then presented the following, which was unanimously
adopted:

Whereas, by the decease of Nathaniel Johnson Rust, on the fifth day of February
1917, there exists a vacancy on the board of trustees of the Fund, created under the
provisions of the will of the late Frederic Kidder, for the benefit of the New England
Historic Genealogical Society, therefore on motion,

Voted, That a petition be presented to the Honorable Probate Court, within and
for the County of Middlesex, where the said will was adjudicated, and in whose
registry it is on record, praying that the said Court will be pleased to appoint Richard
Henry Winslow Dwight of Cambridge, a member of this Society, to fill the said vacancy.

The speaker of the afternoon was John Charles States Andrew, A.M., S.T.B.,
former President of the Old South Historical Society, and Vocational Advisor of
the Public Schools of Lynn, who gave an unusually instructive and illuminating
lecture entitled Rambles in Old Boston. Mr. Andrew showed a remarkable
familiarity with the contour of Boston from the earliest times down to the period
of the filling in of the Back Bay region, and his paper was illustrated with many
valuable lantern slides.

On motion a vote of thanks to the speaker was adopted.

The meeting was followed by a reception with refreshments to members and
guests.

NOTES

It having come to the attention of this Society that certain
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society
in connection with their own enterprises, the Society again de-
sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any
publications other than those that it issues over its own name
at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.

Hyde-Dana. — In the article entitled "Four Generations of Descendants of
Samuel Hyde of Newton, Mass.," which was published in the Registeb of April
1917 (vol. 71, pp. 144-153), the maiden name of Deliverance, wife of Ensign
Samuel8 Hyde (3), is not given. She was Deliverance Dana, born at Cambridge,
Mass., 5 May 1667, daughter of Richard1 and Ann (Bullard) Dana. The fact
of the marriage is given in Paige's History of Cambridge, p. 526, and proof of the
marriage is found in the family agreement made at the settlement of Richard
Dana's estate, in which "Samuell Hides" signs his name as son-in-law.

15 Appian Way, Cambridge, Mass. Elizabeth Ellert Dana.

Davison Bible Records. — William Henry Davison, A.M., of Pensacola,
Fla., a resident member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, died
at Pensacola 31 Jan. 1916, in his 92d year.* He was born in Boston, the home
of his father and grandfather, and in an old family Bible formerly in his possession
the following records have been found. They relate to Boston people, many of
whom seem to have belonged to the Federal Street Church (now the Arlington
Street Church), of which Rev. William Ellery Charming was pastor.

Gibbs. — ■ The following data have been copied from a record written on a leaf
about 10 inches in height by 6 inches in width, which has been torn from an old
family Bible. The first part of the record occupies the whole of the second page
of the leaf, while the last paragraph, beginning with the words "John Gibbs our
Grandfather," is written at the top of the first page of the leaf. The words
printed in italics are inserted between the lines of the original record, and were
apparently written at a later date than the rest of the record. The original
record is now in the possession of Mr. N. Lincoln Greene of Brookline, Mass.

• Later called William Henry Davison.

Historical Intelligence

Heraldrt. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its
report of 5 May 1914 (see Register, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-joriii), "that
every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter
of record that any original settler in this country inherited a coat of arms or that
any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the
arms for record with this Society," etc.

The Committee believes that the importance of the results possible to be
attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they earnestly request
all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which
they believe to be eligible to make application for recording them. The cost of
painting the arms and making up the record will have to be defrayed by the ap-
plicants, and the Committee has determined that $3.00 for each coat will barely
Buffice.

This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded
with the application. _ If the application is rejected, the money will be returned
unless the applicant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited for proof.
The Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any application altogether,
and if this right is exercised, the money will, of course, be returned.

It seems evident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases
in size, there will be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the
arms and directly related thereto, such as photographs of castles, armor, seals,
manor houses, etc., and provision is contemplated for filing such contributions in
supplementary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. Applica-
tions in which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements indicated
in the report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further
proof.

Printed directions for the making of applications may be obtained from the
Committee; and all communications on thus subject should be addressed to the
Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash-
burton Place, Boston.

Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-

uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

FRANKLIN BENJAMIN SANBORN, A.B.

By Victor Channing Sanbohn of Kenilworth, III.

Seldom can a son's biography of his father carry a sound criti-
cal value. The intimate connection of their lives deprives judg-
ment of its true perspective. Perhaps an absence of thirty years,
relieved, to be sure, by frequent and affectionate intercourse, may
give to these notes a correct appreciation of one whose character
was varied, strong, and striking.

Franklin Benjamin Sanborn was born at Hampton Falls, N. H.,
15 December 1831, on the same farm which his ancestors took up
in the seventeenth century and in the farmhouse which his great-
great-grandfather, Lieut. Joseph Samborn, built in 1743. His an-
cestry, which included nearly all of the early settlers of Hampton,
is set forth in my "Sanborn Genealogy."

The incidents of his childhood and youth have been so well told
by himself* that a further account of them would be repetitious
without being enlightening. His family, though adscripti glebae,
had a distinct turn towards scholarship. This was emphasized and
directed in my father's case by his early love for Ariana Walker, a
daughter of James Walker of Peterborough, N. H., and a niece of
Webster's friend, Judge Jeremiah Smith of Exeter, N. H. The
Walker family has been described by my father,f and so much of
this early love and marriage as may be told to the casual reader
appears in his "Recollections." J He was married to Ariana Walker
23 August 1854, at her deathbed, and she died 31 August 1854.

Under the inspiration of this youthful love my father had decided
to study for a year at Phillips Exeter Academy, and then to enter
Harvard, where an uncle of Ariana Walker was president. Enter-
ing as a sophomore in January 1853, he attained some prominence
in the Class of 1855 — a class which numbered among its members
Phillips Brooks, Alexander Agassiz, Francis Barlow, Henry Fitz-
Gilbert Waters, James Kendall Hosmer, Theodore Lyman, and the
cousin of the last-mentioned, Benjamin Smith Lyman. Gradu-
ating seventh in his class, he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa; but,
with the first scholar, Francis Barlow, he declined the election,

possibly from a dislike of what they may have deemed an unjusti-
fiable intellectual aristocracy.

During his early years at Harvard my father had won the friend-
ship of Ralph Waldo Emerson, then living at Concord, and forming
the bright particular star of that brilliant group of authors who have
made the little town so well known in literature. Mr. Emerson
asked my father if he would come to Concord and establish a private
school there, agreeing that the Emerson children should attend it.
My father seized this welcome chance, and started in Concord, before
he graduated, that small school, which flourished until the activities
of the Civil War put an end to it.

In 1856, enrolling himself on the side of individual liberty, he
became secretary of the Massachusetts Free Soil Association, whose
aim it was to preserve Kansas as a free State. He spent the summer
of 1856 in a tour of inspection of the Western States and Territories,
traversing Iowa and Nebraska. This brought him into connection
with John Brown, the Liberator, whose plans for the Harper's Ferry
raid were known to a small group of Massachusetts men; and in
1860 my father was arrested by United States marshals for dis-
regarding a summons to testify in regard to John Brown before a
committee of the Senate. This incident, with the subsequent fail-
ure of the Senate's case, is fully dealt with in the "Recollections."

In August 1862 my father married his cousin, Louisa Augusta
Leavitt, a daughter of Joseph Melcher Leavitt, a native of Hampton
Falls, N. H., but later a merchant in Boston, Mass.

The Civil War decreased the attendance at his school in Concord
so much that it was given up in 1862. For seven months he edited
the Boston Commonwealth, but in 1863 his friend, our war governor,
John A. Andrew, appointed him secretary of the Massachusetts
State Board of Charities. This was the first board of its kind in
the United States, and it became the exemplar for similar boards
in other States. Its urgent needs withdrew my father from par-
ticipation in the War, for he and Dr. Samuel G. Howe were inces-
santly active in framing laws and seeing them enforced.
| For twenty years my father took a leading part in charitable,

remedial, and penal legislation in Massachusetts and throughout
the country. In 1865 he was one of the organizers of the American
Social Science Association. In 1867 he obtained the charter for the
Clarke School for the Deaf, and remained a trustee of this won-
derful establishment until he died. In the same year he helped
to organize the Massachusetts Infant Asylum, the first public insti-
tution whose aim it was to decrease the tremendous mortality
among motherless children. In 1870 he was one of the organizers
of the National Prison Association, and in 1874' of the National
Conference of Charities and Corrections. In 1874, also, he was
appointed chairman of the State Board of Charities, and in this
capacity conducted those legislative inquiries into the almshouse at
Tewksbury and the insane asylum at Danvers which resulted in
great economies for the State and a better system of caring for the
insane and pauper classes. In 1879 he was made General Inspector
of Charities, holding this latter office until 1888.

1917] Franklin Benjamin Sanborn 293

Along with these labors in the field of public charities my father
steadily contributed to American literature. In 1872 his friend,
Samuel Bowles, appointed him one of the resident editors of the
Springfield Republican, to which he had for many years been a con-
tributor. This took him from Concord to Springfield, but in 1874
he returned to Concord, which was his home from 1855 until his
death, except for this short sojourn in Springfield.

In 1880 he built the gambrel-roofed brick house on Elm Street,
at a bend in the Concord River. Here among his book-lined shelves
he wrote most of his published works, and on his modest three acres
he spent his leisure hours in gardening and orchard work. He
knew every wood and field in Concord, and each Sunday afternoon
when he was at home with his sons he took long walks over the
fields and hills, which he varied in winter with excursions on the
frozen river. Without being a profound observer of Nature, as
was- his friend Thoreau, he loved her every mood, and spent each
idle moment in his busy life out-of-doors.

From his earliest residence in Concord he was a valued member of
the little group of authors, which included Emerson, Thoreau, Alcott,
Ellery Channing, and (for a time) Hawthorne. His intimate friend-
ship with these men has made him in some respects their ideal
biographer.

His literary labors were tremendous and unending. Besides his
two weekly letters to the Republican, he wrote for some time a
column daily for the Boston Advertiser. His contributions to the
pages of charitable reviews and to the proceedings of the many
associations with which he was connected and his reports as a State
official were voluminous.

In 1879 he organized, with Alcott, Dr. Harris, and others, the
Concord School of Philosophy, whose contributions to the field of
American philosophic thought were of great value, and some of
whose lectures he edited in 1886.

He published definitive biographies of Alcott, Channing, Thoreau,
John Brown, Dr. Howe, and Pliny Earle, and lesser volumes on
Emerson and Hawthorne. His "History of New Hampshire" is
an accepted authority. To attempt to catalogue his published
works would require several pages.

In 1885 his friend, Andrew D. White, President of Cornell Uni-
versity, appointed him Lecturer on Applied Social Science at Cornell.
This connection existed for several years, and he delivered to the
students many lectures, illustrated by visits to the New York insti-
tutions for penal and charitable reform.

In 1890 and again in 1893 he made extended visits to Europe.
He spent much time in Greece and Italy, and visited institutions
for the care of the pauper and defective classes in many coun-
tries.

Since 1893 he devoted himself to general literary work. In 1894
he became a resident member of the New England Historic Genea-
logical Society, and was a frequent visitor to the Society's rooms
on Somerset Street and later on Ashburton Place, Boston, as well
as to the Boston Public Library, the Harvard College Library, and

294 Franklin Benjamin Sanborn [Oct.

the rooms of the Massachusetts Historical Society, of which also
he was a member and to whose proceedings he was a frequent
contributor.

Finding the winter climate of Concord somewhat severe in his
old age, he and my mother spent the last few winters with my
brother Francis in Westfield, N. J. On 18 January 1917 he was
injured by a baggage truck on the platform of the station at Plain-
field, N. J. His hip was broken, and he never recovered from the
shock, but died on 24 February 1917. His burial service was at
the old Unitarian Church in Concord, where for years he shared
the Emerson pew.

His turn of mind was essentially individualistic. An intellectual
aristocrat, he was also a true social democrat. He resented bitterly
any infringement of the rights of himself or of others, and was a
stern opponent of arbitrary power. This made him both friends
and enemies; but he usually kept the former, while those of the
latter who had real vision grew to respect and admire him.

My father acquired friends easily, valued them highly, and had
hundreds throughout the country. This invaluable possession,
friendship, he never abused, nor did he welcome such presumption
from any one. It would be impossible to catalogue his friends, or
to distinguish which among them formed the greater influence in
his life. One of his oldest friends writes:

"We sadly miss your father from this world of ours, and can but heartily
sympathize with you in the loss."

A more recent friend writes:

"The world is poorer for his going. From his college days to the end of
a long useful career he never failed to champion the rights of the down-
trodden and oppressed. Every worthy cause could count on his whole-
hearted support. He was lavish in the gift of himself."

He was a real scholar, at home in both Latin and Greek, and
familiar with the best of ancient and modern literature. His ver-
satility was surprising, and his range of information a constant
wonder. Mr. Emerson called him "the man who knew everything."
In addition, he was almost the last survivor of the best type of New
England literary man. His long life and incessant activity had
brought him into contact with nearly every phase of life; and I may
conclude with the somewhat trite phrase, Et nihil quod tetigit non
ornavit.

He had by his second wife, who survived him, three sons: 1.
Thomas Parker, born 23 February 1865, A.B. (Harvard University)
1886, a youth of much promise, who died under exceptionally sad
circumstances in 1889. 2. Victor Channing, born 24 April 1867.
3. Francis Bachiler, born 5 February 1872.

Among the many tributes which appeared after his death, none
would have touched my father more, and none, I am sure, touched
us all so much as to know that the flag at the Massachusetts State
House, where he spent so many years, hung at half-mast in his
honor for three days. Representative Odlin of Lynn offered the
following motion in the House on 27 February 1917:

1917] Wintonbury Church Records 295

"Whereas, on the 24th day of February, 1917, Frank B. Sanborn of
Concord, the friend of Emerson, Hawthorne and Thoreau, died in West-
field, N. J., and thus passed on an adopted son of Massachusetts who in
his early manhood espoused the cause of the abolition of human slavery in
the United States, at the call of William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips,
and later became the confidential adviser of John Brown at Harper's Ferry,
for whose sake he was ostracized, maltreated and subjected to the indignity
of false arrest, having been saved from deportation from Massachusetts
only by mob violence and the writ of habeas corpus; be it

"Ordered, That the House of Representatives hereby expresses the sense
of loss felt by the Commonwealth in the death of this great man, who,
conscious of the voice of duty, asked only to be guided aright and coura-
geously undertook all risks in the great cause of emancipation. Philosopher,
philanthropist, sociologist, and man of letters, in the service of the state
and in private life, by reason of his fealty to the truth, the strength of his
intellect, his interest in the diseased, the unfortunate and the despised,
he lent distinction to every cause which he championed; and a grateful
commonwealth hereby pays its tribute of respect; be it further

"Ordered, That the sergeant-at-arms be requested to maintain the flags
of the state house at half-staff for the next three days; and be it further

"Ordered, That the foregoing be made part of the records of the House
and that a copy be sent to the bereaved family."

THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF WILLIAM ALMY
OF PORTSMOUTH, R.I.

Communicated by Geobge Walter Chamberlain, M.S., of Maiden, Mass.

William Almy, an early settler of Portsmouth, R. I., was at
Saugus (now Lynn) in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1631, and at
a Court holden at Boston, 14 June 1631, was "ffyned ijs vid for takeing
away Mr Glouers cannoe without leaue."* At a Court of Assistants
holden at Newe Towne, 1 July 1634, he "is fyned xs for not appeareing
att the last Court, being surnond, & is inioyned to bring to the nexte
Court an inventory of the goods hee receaved of Edw: Johnsons,
duely prized by indifferent men."t This fine was remitted at a
General Court held at Boston, 6 Sept. 1638, some three years after he
had brought his family to New England, the record reading: "The
Court did discharge the fines vnderwritten, wch do stand recorded
before in this booke. . . . 1634. . . . First July, Willi: Almy,
being fined 103, is discharged."! Soon after the imposition of the fine
in 1634 he must have returned to England; but he came back, with
his wife and two children, from London to New England in 1635, in
the Abigail, Robert Hackwell, master, the passenger list containing,
with many other names, those of Wm Almond, aged 34, Awdry Al-
mond, aged 32, Annis Almy, aged 8, and Chri: Almie, aged 3. They
appear to have embarked in the ship on 17 June 1635. §

In an account of the Almy family, published in Chicago, 111.,
in 1897, by a descendant of William Almy through his son Chris-
topher, the statement is made that "William Almy, the common
ancestor of all who bear the name in America, was a native of Belinden
[sic, ? Benenden] Parish, Kent County, England, and was born in _.
the year 1601. "|| No evidence, however, is adduced to support this
statement about the birthplace of William Almy, but the date of
his birth is evidently computed from his age as given in the passenger
list in 1635.

1917] English Ancestry of William Almy 311

The first clue as to the English home of William Almy was re-
vealed in 1910, when among the marriage licences published by the
British Record Society in "Leicestershire Marriage Licences, 1570-
1729," appeared that of William Almie, gentleman, of South Kil-
worth, and Audrey Barlowe of Lutterworth, granted in 1626.* This
printed record was found a few months later by G. Andrews Mori-
arty, Jr., A.M., a member of the Council of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society, who communicated it to several genealogists
and later, with other information at that time in print in regard to
the ancestors of the immigrant to New England, to the Essex Insti-
tute Historical Collections.^ Since then research among the probate
records, parish registers, and marriage licences of co. Leicester has
brought to light much additional material relating to the Almy
families of that county, and this material, together with certain
records previously published, is given below.J

two refer to Almy families whose exact relationship to the family to
which the New England immigrant belonged remains to be proved.
The connection of the testators of 1660, 15 Apr. 1680, 24 Aug. 1680,
and 1690 with the other Almy families has not yet been determined.

Pedigree I

1. John Almey, of Dunton-Bassett,f co. Leicester, lived prob-
ably about the middle of the sixteenth century. He married
Reignolds.

Child :t
'2. i. Thomas.

2. Thomas Almey (John), of' Dunton-Bassett, co. Leicester, was

born probably about 1550. He married Joan Wale, who
was buried at Dunton-Bassett 31 Oct. 1604, daughter of
Thomas of Dunton-Bassett.
Children:

3. i. Thomas.

4. ii. William.

5. iii. John.

6. iv. Christopher.

3. Thomas Almey (Thomas, John), of Badby, co. Northampton,

was living in 1618, when, apparently, he entered the Almey
pedigree in the Visitation of Northamptonshire. He married
first Agnes (Andrew) Cowper, daughter of Nicholas Andrew
(who was brother of Thomas Andrew) and widow of John
Cowper; and secondly Alice Marsh, daughter of Lawrence
of Northampton.

Children by first wife:

i. Andrew, of London, living in 1618.

ii. William.

iii. George, d. s.p. not later than 1618.

iv. Tobias, of London, m. Dorcas Bassano, dau. of Edward. §

Children by second wife :

v. Matthew.
vi. Thomas.

* This pedigree, which has supplied material for Pedigree I only, is found in the
Visitation of Northamptonshire of 1618-19, and is printed in Metcalfe's Visitations of
• Northamptonshire, London, 1887, p. 61. Apparently it was entered by Thomas
Almey of Badby (Pedigree I, No. 3).

t Dunton or Dunton-Bassett, the earliest known home of the ancestors of William
Almy of Portsmouth, R. I., is situated about nine miles south from the city of Leicester
and about four miles north from Lutterworth, the parish of which John Wycliffe was
rector from 1374 to 1384.

t There were probably other children, in addition to the Thomas given in the pedi-
gree. Perhaps Robert Almey of Dunton-Bassett, the testator of 1579, whose family
is given in Pedigree II, was a son or a brother of John Almey (1).

§ Probably the Edw. Bassano who, according to a Bassano pedigree in the Visitation
of London (Publications of the Harleian Society, vol. 15, p. 54) was eldest son of Jhero-
nimo Bassano (who married Dor. Symons of co. Essex) and grandson of Anthony
Bassano, a Venetian.

Kilworth, co. Leicester, England, and of Saugus (Lynn),
Mass., Sandwich in the Plymouth Colony, and Portsmouth,
R. I., gentleman, only son of his father, born, probably at
Dunton-Bassett or South Kilworth, co. Leicester, about
1600,* died, probably at Portsmouth, R. I., between 28 Feb.
1676/7, when he made his will, and 23 Apr. 1677, when his
will was proved. He married at Lutterworth, co. Leicester,
by licence of 1626, Audrey Barlowe of Lutterworth, who
was born about 1602 and was living 28 Feb. 1676/7.

He was executor of his father's will, which he proved
29 Oct. 1624, and was the defendant in a suit in the Court of
Requests in 1625 which had been begun against his father.
•He was in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1631, returned
later to England, and, with his wife Audrey and two children,
Anna (or Annis) and Christopher, embarked again for New
England in the Abigail in 1635. f After living at Saugus
(Lynn), Mass., for a year or two, he became one of the
founders of Sandwich in the Plymouth Colony, being one of
the "tenn men of Saugust" to whom the Court of Assistants
of that Colony, on 3 Apr. 1637, granted "liberty to view a
place to sitt downe," with "sufficient lands for three score
famylies."t He left Sandwich before 7 Dec. 1641, when a calf
belonging to him was attached "to answere the jury vj8 vjd,
and iij3 to the clarke for the charges of a suite he left vnpayd
when hee lefte the towne of Sandwich."§ On 22 June 1642
he sold his dwelling house and all his lands in Sandwich to
Edmond Freeman the Younger, || and soon afterwards appears
as a resident of Portsmouth, R. I., where he received a grant
of land on 14 Nov. 1644. He was freeman at Portsmouth in
1655, and was later juryman and commissioner.

* According to Pope's Pioneers of Massachusetts he deposed 20 (4) 1654, aged about
53 years.

t Vide supra, p. 310. Massachusetts records show that at a Court holden at Newe
Towne, 1 Mar. 1635/6, it was "ordered, that all the bills & writeings aboute one Rob'te
Way shalbe deliu'ed into the Court, & that Ensigne Jennison, Edward Burton, & SamU
Hosier, shall pay xx» apeece to Willm Almy, as also that the said Rob'te Way shalbe

In his will of 28 Feb. 1676/7 he requests that his body be
buried beside his son John, gives to his wife for her lifetime
all his estate, and provides that at her death half of the farm
next to the land which he gave to his son John shall go to his
son Christopher, while the other half of the farm, with dwelling
house, two orchards, etc., shall go to his son Job. The malt
house is not to be divided, but is to be held in equal shares
and kept for a malt house every season. To each of his
daughters, Anna and Catharine, he gives two parts of his
cattle and movables, and to each of his sons, Christopher and
Job, one part. To his grandchild Bartholomew West he
leaves £20, to be paid to him when he is twenty-one years of
age. He makes his sons Christopher and Job executors.*

Pedigree II

There was another Almy family in co. Leicester, descended from
Robert Almey of Dunton-Bassett, who was probably nearly related
to John Almey, the great-grandfather of the immigrant to New
England. From the foregoing records the following facts about
Robert Almey and his descendants have been derived.

1. Robert Almey, of Dunton-Bassett, co. Leicester, husband-
man, the testator of 1579, died between 11 Dec. 1579 and 8 Feb.
1581/2. The name of his wife is unknown. In his will of 11
Dec. 1579 he mentions three unmarried daughters, Margaret,
Joan, and Ellen, two sons, Thomas and William, and also Thomas
Almey the Elder and William Almey the Elder, who were probably
his kinsmen.

Children:

i. Margaret, living unm. 11 Dec. 1579.

In the Register of April 1917* records and a pedigree were
printed relating to the ancestors of Margaret Gifford, wife of Hugh
Sargent of Courteenhall, co. Northampton, and mother of Roger
Sargent, whose son William emigrated to New England in 1638 and
settled in what was later the town of Maiden, Mass. The wife of
Roger Sargent and the mother of William Sargent of Maiden was
Ellen Makernes, daughter of William of Finedon, co. Northampton;
and below are given various Makernes records which have made it
possible to trace the ancestry of Ellen Makernes back to her greats
grandfather, John Makernes, who made his will in 1515. This
ancestral line is shown in the pedigree that follows the records.

RECORD OF DEATHS KEPT BY WILLIAM RIPLEY
OF CORNISH, N. H.

Communicated by Hon. Akthttb Holbbook Wellman, MJL, LL.B.,
of Topsfield, Mass.

The following record of deaths was kept by William Ripley, a
native of Windham, Conn., but from 1775 until his death on 17 Feb.
1818 a resident of Cornish, N. H. He entered these deaths on pages
7, 8, 27, and 28 of a book in which he kept copies of important letters
sent to his relatives and friends as well as accounts and various
other writings. The book contains also other copies which, evidently,
were made by his only son, Col. James Ripley. Upon the death of
Colonel Ripley the book appears to have passed to William Ripley's
grandson, Dea. James Ripley Wellman of Cornish, and upon the
latter's death to his eldest son, the late Rev. Joshua Wyman Wellman,
A.M., D.D., of Maiden, Mass. It is now in the possession of the
contributor of this article.

The book, bound in pasteboard covers, is 12 inches in height by
8 inches in width. In the entries given below expressions such as
"a member of this church" refer to membership in the Congregational
Church of Cornish Centre. The numbers of the pages of the original
book on which the records were found have been given in brackets.
Words printed in italics are crossed out in the manuscript.

INSCRIPTIONS IN THE BAPTIST CORNERS CEMETERY,

Below are given all the inscriptions in the cemetery at Baptist
Corners, East Charlotte, Vt., to the end of the year 1875. The
exact wording of the inscriptions has been followed, but quotations
from the Scriptures and other matter of no genealogical interest have
been omitted. The punctuation is that of the copyist, the marks of
punctuation on the gravestones having been in so many cases effaced
by the action of the weather that it is impossible to reproduce them
with any certainty of accuracy. The capitalization also has been
made uniform.

RECORDS OF THE CHURCH AT NEW IPSWICH, N. H.,

1764-1773

Communicated by Miss Sarah Fiske Lee of New Ipswich, N.H.

The church at New Ipswich, N. H., was formally organized
21 Oct. 1760; and on the following day Stephen Farrar was ordained
to the ministry and was installed as its pastor, serving in that capacity
until his sudden death on 23 June 1809. At its organization the
church consisted of twenty-one members, and thirty-eight others
were added before 1772.* The records before 1800 are very meagre,
extending only from 1764 to 1773. They are in the handwriting of
Rev. Stephen Farrar, and are written on a single half-sheet of fools-
cap, so folded as to make four pages, each 6£ by 4 inches in size.
These records are given below.

RECORDS OF THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS
AT EAST HOOSUCK (ADAMS), MASS.

Communicated by William Bbabfobd Bhowne of North Adama, Mass.

The monthly meeting of Friends at East Hoosuck (now Adams),
Berkshire Co., Mass., was set off in 1783 from the Saratoga (N. Y.)
monthly meeting. The plantation called East Hoosuck had been
incorporated as the town of Adams in 1778, but the monthly meeting
of Friends established there in 1783 retained the earlier name. The
original records of the East Hoosuck meeting are preserved in the
Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield, Mass., and a copy of the part con-
taining the records of births and deaths is given in this article. This
will be followed by abstracts of the removal certificates and marriage
certificates. Words in brackets have been added by the contributor.

NOTES

It having come to the attention of this Society that certain
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society
in connection with their own enterprises, the Society again de-
sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any
publications other than those that it issues over its own name

Delano- Hibbard. — In the town records of Tolland, Conn., the following
entry is found: "Jabez Delano of Tolland and Prudence Hobart of Windham
were at said Windham on the twenty second day of February Anno Domi.
1730/1, joined together in marriage." At that time, so far as is known, there was
no Hobart family at Windham, Conn.; but a number of Hibbard families are
recorded there, the surname appearing generally as Hebard or Hibard. A Pru-
dence Hibard was born 3 Feb. 1711 [1711/12], daughter of Ebenezer and Margaret
(Morgan) Hibard. On 6 Nov. 1752 the real estate of "the late Mr. Ebenezer
Hebberd of Windham, deceased," was divided, and among the heirs was "Pru-
dence Delano the daughter to the said deceased," who received a one-ninth part.
(Windham Probate Records.) It appears, therefore, that the wife of Jabez
Delano of Tolland was Prudence Hibbard (not Hobart). The Hibbard Geneal-
ogy, P- 26, states that this Prudence Hibbard "m. Dolan," another obvious

inaccuracy, which can now be corrected.

Stockbridge-Hatch : Correction. — In the Register, vol. 70, p. 260
(July 1916), Elizabeth Stockbridge is recorded as the first child of John Stock-
bridge of Scituate in the Plymouth Colony by his second wife, Elizabeth (Hatch)
Soan, and is said (on the authority of Deane's History of Scituate, p. 342) to have
been born in 1644. John Stockbridge and the Widow Soan were married at
Scituate, 9 Oct. 1643. An examination of Boston Births, Baptisms, Marriages,
and Deaths, 1 630-1 699; p. 14, clearly shows that Elizabeth Stockbridge was the

daughter of John by his first wife, Anne , and was baptized in the First

Church, Boston, 10 July 1642, "aged about 2 yrs. 6 mos." She married at
Scituate, 1 Jan. 1661/2, Thomas Hyland. There were but two children born to
John Stockbridge by his second wife, viz., Sarah and Hester, whose baptisms are
recorded in Scituate.

Historical Intelligence

Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its
report of 5 May 1914 (see Register, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-xxiii), "that
every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter
of record that any original settler in this country inherited a coat of arms or that
any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the
arms for record with this Society," etc.

The Committee believes that the importance of the results possible to be
attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they earnestly request

368 Recent Books [Oct.

all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which
they believe to be eligible to make application for recording them. The cost of
painting the arms and making up the record will have to be defrayed by the ap-
plicants, and the Committee has determined that $3.00 for each coat will barely
suffice.

This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded
with the application. If the application is rejected the money will be returned
unless the applicant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited for proof.
The Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any application altogether,
and if this right is exercised, the money will, of course, be returned.

It seems evident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases
in siae, there will be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the
arms and directly related thereto, such as photographs of castles, armor, seals,
manor houses, etc., and provision is contemplated for filing such contributions in
supplementary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. Applica-
tions in which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements indicated
in the report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further
proof.

Printed directions for the making of applications may be obtained from the
Committee; and all communications on this subject should be addressed to the
Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash-
burton Place, Boston.

Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-
uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

SUMMER FIELD WORK

FOB

The New England Historic Genealogical Society

The Committee on Epitaphs of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society requests members of the Society who spend the summer months in New Eng-
land to aid the work of the Society by methodically copying the inscriptions in old
burial grounds.

This work is of importance, and in other States than Massachusetts such inscriptions
are often one of the principal sources of genealogical information. Not only public
burial grounds but the private ones often found on New England farms are of the
greatest genealogical interest.

These records should be preserved and made available for students of genealogy in
our Library.

The work is not difficult,- and gives a pleasant out-door occupation for leisure
hours.

The copies should be made literally, following all the abbreviations and the spelling
of the original.

They should be written as ordinary text, with a vertical mark after each word that
ends a line in the original inscription, as in the following example:

In Memory of | Mr EBENEZER GILBART | Died May 11th 1806 |
in the 77th Year of | his Age.

The verses often placed on such stones need not be copied unless they convey his-
torical or genealogical facts; but in each instance a note should be made stating that
euch a verse was omitted in the copy.

The best method is to take into the field a small paper block which can easily be
held in one hand, and to write only one inscription on each sheet. The inscriptions can
then easily be arranged alphabetically.

When all the inscriptions have been obtained, do not copy them into a blank book,
but send to the Society for some durable paper which has been manufactured especially
for manuscripts that are to be used by the public. This paper will be furnished on
request. Leave a margin of an inch all around the page to allow for trimming in
binding.

Unmounted photographs of headstones of unusual historic or other interest add to
the attractiveness and value of the manuscript.

Please give a clear and explicit statement as to the location of the burial grounds.

Address all communications to

THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENE-
ALOGICAL SOCIETY is now located in its new build-
ing'at No. 9 Ashburton Place, Boston, with adequate
i space for future growth, with safe quarters for its mag-
nificent genealogical library, and with facilities for the
economical administration of its various departments.

income, in order to prosecute its work with vigor and
to accomplish the objects for which it was founded.

1 1 ■ ■' .

'.

Its past achievements, in gathering a library which

^unrivalled in its field, in publishing data relating to

American families unsurpassed either in amount or

quality by any kindred institution, in making extensive

researches in England, the results of which have been

of national importance, in conducting monthly public

meetings which are largely attended, and in promoting

-interest in genealogical studies in America throughout

the entire period of its existence, entitle the Society to

: consideration by all interested in American genealogy,

and ought to enlist the support of those who desire the.

V : preservation of the records of American families.

Its officers will gladly confer with anyone desiring
I to create memorial funds by gift or bequest, the income
[ of which shall be used to promote the objects of the
I 'Society. <

Its membership is open to all persons of good char-
acter who are interested in the work of the Society.
Its quarterly periodical, The New England His-
torical and Genealogical Register, is the leading
.publication of its kind,* and is sent free to resident and
life members.

The fee for resident membership is $5.00 per calen-

IMPORTANT NOTICE

THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENE-
ALOGICAL SOCIETY announces that it is prepared
jj to undertake the compilation and publication in book
form of genealogies of American families. Its long
experience in publishing, its unrivalled facilities for the
collection and verification of genealogical data, its
fireproof building with abundance of space for the
carrying on of such work and for the safe storage of
manuscripts and printed books, its equipment for
advertising and selling genealogical publications, and
its ability to supply expert superintendence for every
branch of the work practically insure better results at
less cost than can be obtained by the methods now
ordinarily followed. The character of the work already
done by the Society in1 publishing family histories and
genealogical records is a guarantee that genealogies
prepared under its supervision will be as free from
errors of fact and of judgment as it is possible to make
them and will be examples of good taste in arrange-
ment, illustration, and the details of bookmaking.
They will be printed on durable [paper and will receive
suitable bindings.

Those wishing to [arrange for the publication of
genealogies already compiled, for the completion fof
genealogies already begun, or for the entire work
of compiling and publishing are invited to confer with

SUMMER FIELD WORK

FOB

The New England Historic Genealogical Society

The Committee on Epitaphs of the New England Hibtoeic Genealogical
Societt requests members of the Society who spend the summer months in New Eng-
land to aid the work of the Society by methodically copying the inscriptions in old
burial grounds.

This work is of importance, and in other States than Massachusetts such inscriptions
are often one of the principal sources of genealogical information. Not only public
burial grounds but the private ones often found on [New England farms are of the
greatest genealogical interest.

These records should be preserved and made available for students of genealogy in
our Library.

The work is not difficult, and gives a pleasant out-door occupation for leisure
hours.

The copies should be made literally, following all the abbreviations and the spelling
of the original.

They should be written as ordinary text, with a vertical mark after each word that
ends a line in the original inscription, as in the following example:

In Memory of | Mr EBENEZER GILBART | Died May 11th 1806 |
in the 77th Year of | his Age.

The verses often placed on such stones need not be copied unless they convey his-
torical or genealogical facts; but in each instance a note should be made stating that
such a verse was omitted in the copy.

The best method is to take into the field a small paper block which can easily be
held in one hand, and to write only one inscription on each sheet. The inscriptions can
then easily be arranged alphabetically.

When all the inscriptions have been obtained, do not copy them into a blank book,
but send to the Society for some durable paper which has been manufactured especially
for manuscripts that are to be used by the public. This paper will be furnished on
request. Leave a margin of an inch all around the page to allow for trimming in
binding.

Unmounted photographs of headstones of unusual historic or other interest add to
the attractiveness and value of the manuscript.

Please give a clear and explicit statement as to the location of the burial grounds.

Address all communications to

MASSACHUSETTS VITAL RECORDS

The New England Historic Genealogical Society is publishing, by a fund »et apart

whose records are not already printed, from their beginning to the year 1850, in books of
octavo size, in clear type, on durable paper made expressly for this work, and with cloth
binding. The arrangement is alphabetical.

Subscription to these Records, if made in advance of publication, will be taken at the
rate of one cent per page, which includes binding. Expressage extra.

Only a limited number of copies are being printed. The type is then distributed, and the
copies not subscribed for are held for sale at a considerable advance above the subscription
price.

These books are especially useful to persons whose ancestors have resided in these towns.

SUMMER FIELD WORK

FOB

The New England Historic Genealogical Society

The Committee on Epitaphs of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society requests members of the Society who spend the summer months in New Eng-
land to aid the work of the Society by methodically copying the inscriptions in old
burial grounds.

This work is of importance, and in other States than Massachusetts such inscriptions
are often one of the principal sources of genealogical information. Not only publio
burial grounds but the private ones often found on New England farms are of the
greatest genealogical interest.

These records should be preserved and made available for students of genealogy in
our "Library.

The work is not difficult, and gives a pleasant out-door occupation for leisure
hours.

The copies should be made literally, following all the abbreviations and the spelling
of the original.

They should be written as ordinary text, with a vertical mark after each word that
ends a line in the original inscription, as in the following example:

In Memory of |Mr EBENEZER GILBART | Died May 11th 1806 |
in the 77th Year of | his Age.

The verses often placed on such stones need not be copied unless they convey his-
torical or genealogical facts; but in each instance a note should be made stating th&t
such a verse was omitted in the copy.

The best method is to take into the field a small paper block which can easily be
held in one hand, and to write only one inscription on each sheet. The inscriptions can
then easily be arranged alphabetically.

When all the inscriptions have been obtained, do not copy them into a blank book,
but send to the Society for some durable paper which has been manufactured especially
for manuscripts that are to be used by the public. This paper will be furnished on
request. Leave a margin of an inch all around the page to allow for trimming in
binding.

Unmounted photographs of headstones of unusual historic or other interest add to
the attractiveness and value of the manuscript.

Please give a clear and explicit statement as to the location of the burial grounds.

Address all communications to
