In presenting to the public the " Gazetter and Business Directory of Wind- sor County,'' we desire to return our sincere thanks to all who have kindly aided in obtaining the information it contains, and thus rendered it possible to present it in the brief space of time in which it is essential such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to the editors and mana- gers of the local papers for the uniform kindness they have evinced in calling public attention to our efforts, and for essential aid in furnishing material for the work. We have also found valuable aid in " Thompson's Vermont ;'' " Dem- ming's Vermont Officers ;" " Hall's Early History of Vermont;" "Hall's His- tory of Eastern Vermont;" "Hall's Geography and History of Vermont;" "Hos- kin's History of Vermont;" Rev. Grant Powers's "Progress of Events in Coos Country;" W. W. Walker's " History of Rochester ;" Gilbert A. Davis's "His- tory of Reading ;" Tracy & Bros.' " Indian Narratives ;" the " Documentary History of New York ;" Lanman's " Dictionary of Congress;" Palmer's " His- tory of Lake Champlain ;" in the reports of the Adjutant-General and State School Supertendent ; Beers, Ellis & Soule's "Atlas of Windsor County ;" and also in the " Geological Reports of Hitchcock and Hagar." Our thanks are also due to the clergy throughout the county, the clerks of the several towns, and to Hosea Doton, and Mrs. L. A. Miller, of Woodstock; Hon. S. E. Pingree and S. M. Pingree, of Hartford; E. G. AUis, of Ludlow; Hiram A. Huse, of Montpelier; J. W. Parker, of Quechee; Frank D. Haynes, of Weston ; Geo. Wardner, of W^indsor ; H. P. Allen and D. C. Denison, of Royalton ; and to many others throughout the county who have rendered valuable aid. That errors have occurred in so great a number of names is probable, and that names have been omitted which should have been inserted is quite cer- tain. We can only say that we have exercised more than ordinary diligence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book-making. Of such INTRODUCTION. as feel aggrieved in consequence of errors or omissions, we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in noting such as have been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs and which are found corrected in the Errata following this Introduction. It was designed to give a brief account of all the church and other socie- ties in the county, but owing in some cases to the negligence of those who were able to give the necessary information, and in others to the inability of any one to do so, we have been obliged to omit special notices of a few. We would suggest that our patrons observe and become familiar with the explanations at the commencement of the Directory on page 289. The names it embraces, and the information connected therewith, were obtained by actual canvass, and are as correct and reliable as the judgment of those from whom they were solicited renders possible. Each agent is furnished with a map of the town he is expected to canvass, and he is required to pass over every road and call at every dwelling and place of business in the town in order to obtain the facts from the individuals concerned whenever possible. The margins have been left broad to enable any one to note changes oppo- site the names. The Advertisers represent some of the leading firms and business men of this and other counties, and we most cheerfully commend them to the pat- ronage of those under whose observation these pages may come. We take this occasion to express the hope that the information found in the book will not prove devoid of interest and value, though we are fully conscious that the brief history of the county the scope of the work enables us to give, is by no means an exhaustive one, and can only hope that it may prove anucleufe and incentive to future historians, who will be the better able to do full justice to the subject. While thanking our patrons and friends generally for the cordiality with which our efforts have been seconded, we leave the work to secure that favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating public, hoping they will be;ir in mind, should errors be noted, that " he who expects a perfect work to see, expects what ne'er was, is, nor yet shall be." HAMILTON CHILD. ERRATA. ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. HISTORICAL. Andover. — The following interesting biographical sketch of Col. Marsh, a cut of whose son's residence we print on page 78, came in too late for insertion in the the body of the work : — Col. Sylvanus L. Marsh, who died at his residence in Andover, June 15, 1877, was born in Worcester, Mass., December 9, 1789. When six years of age his parents removed to Andover, where they passed the remainder of their lives, residing much of the time on what is now known as the Marsh home- stead. Sylvanus early evinced a love for military life, and at the age of seventeen years enlisted in the standing militia of Andover, and being elected corporal served in that capacity until promoted to sergeant. War with Eng- land was now apprehended, and in December, 1808, a sergeant and ten privates were called for from Andover to be ready during the next eighteen months, to march at a moment's notice. To this service Sergeant Marsh volunteered ; but the men were not called for. In 1809 he was employed in an hotel at Troy, N. Y., and in i8io and 181 1 he was in Boston, where he served as a coachman for Stephen Codman. In 181 2 he was again in An- dover and enlisted in the cavalry in Weston, Vt. On June 18, 181 2, war with England was formally declared, and in obedience to a call for volunteers from Andover, Sergeant Marsh, in September of that year, enlisted in the ist Regt., Vt. Militia, under command of Col. Martindale. The regiment was marched to Burlington, thence to Plattsburg and at various points in the vicinity of Lake Champlain, then back again to Burlington, where it was dis- charged by Gen. Henry Dearborn, being paid off in March, 1813, at Dorset. June 13, 1814, Sergt. Marsh enlisted for five years in the nth Vt. Regt. Ensign Josiah Shields, a recruiting officer, had established a rendezvous in Andover, from which he absented himself sometime during the summer, and the command devolved on Sergt. Marsh, who on receipt of orders from Capt. Gordon to march his recruits to Rutland, marched twenty-five men to that town on the nth of September. Here the recruits were organized in a com- pany of the nth Regt., under the command of Capt. Benjamin Smeed, Marsh receiving the appointment of sergeant in that company. The company marched to Buffalo, to join the nth Regt., and on arriving there the regiment was ordered back to Sackett's Harbor, where it remained during the winter. Here Sergt. Marsh was promoted to quartermaster-ser- geant, and performed the duties of the consolidation until peace came, in 1815. After the celebration of the Fourth of July, the regiment marched to Greenbush, N. Y., thence to Fort Lewis, L. I., where a new sixth regiment was organized from five of the war regiments, and having performed h s duties in the eleventh regiment faithfully, Quartermaster Marsh was reap pointed in the new sixth regiment, by its colonel, John E. Wool. The regi- ERRATA — ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. ment remained at Fort Lewis until the 9th of September, when it was marched to Fort Columbus, N. Y., where it remained until the i6th of April, 1817, when it embarked by sloops to Greenbush, N. Y., thence by way of White- hall and Lake Champlain to Plattsburg, for the purpose of taking down the barracks and lessening the cantonment. Here the regiment found plenty of hard work until the 28th of August, 1817, when a visit was received from President Monroe, who ordered the roads repaired from Plattsburg to French's Mills. The sixth regiment was employed on this work until the 1 8th of November, when they returned to Plattsburg for winter quarters. The following spring the regiment was sent to labor on and about Fort Montgomery, where it remained until after the Fourth of July, when a visit was received from Gen. Brown, who ordered the regiment to resume work on the Chateaugay road at Robinson's fields, and where the men were em- ployed until the approach of winter, when the regiment returned again to Plattsburg for winter quarters. In the spring of 1819, orders were received from the war department for the sixth regiment and a part of the fifth to start from Plattsburg on the 20th of March, and march to Pittsburg, Pa., to join the military exedition to Mis- souri. The troops left Plattsburg at the stated time, and after a tedious march through the snow and mud, arrived at Pittsbuig, where they rested until the boats, then building there, were completed, when the troops em- barked for St. Louis, Mo., arriving there on the 6th of June. Here the provisions were found to be in a damaged condition and had to be over- hauled, and Quartermaster Marsh was appointed inspector of the beef and pork. After this work was completed he repaired to his quarters at Bel- fontaine, where he received an honorable discharge from the service. He remained with the army, however, until the 20th of August, when, with a horse and wagon, he started for Vermont. Crossing the broad prairies of Illinois he proceeded to Cincinnati, Ohio, thence to Wheeling, Va., through Pennsylvania and New Jersey to New York city, where he remained for a few weeks to recruit his health, arriving at his father's home in Andover, on the 23d of October. During the month of November he went Plattsburg, and on the 15th of December of that year was united in marriage with Sarah D. Thome, of that town. On the 24th of January, 1820, he returned to An- dover with his wife for a permanent home. In June of that year he was chosen and accepted the office of lieutenant in the company of Andover miUtia. He steadily rose in rank, and in 1830 was elected colonel, which office he retained until 1840, when he was discharged at his own request Col. Marsh held various town offices during his life, the duties of which he performed with fidelity and trust. He was fond of reading, and, possessing an excellent memory, was well informed on most subjects. Genial and kind hearted, a ready talker, his society was always pleasant and his conver- sation instructive. As a military officer he was prompt and efficient, and was probably one of the best field officers who ever commanded a regiment in this town. In politics he was a Republican, and his religious faith was broad and liberal. He was a successful farmer and a highly esteemed citizen of the town in which he had lived so long, and the close of his long and useful life was universally regretted. Sarah D., wife of Col. S. L. Marsh, died October I, 1882, aged eighty-three years and ten months. Six of their nine children are still living, two having served their country in the late Rebellion, and one of whom was killed in the battle of the Wilderness. Piatt T. Marsh, the youngest son, resides upon the homestead, having remained with his parents to care for them in their old age. His family consists of three children a daughter and two sons.

However this may be, we hold that, rightly considered, the duty of the historian will be found not limited to the narration of the dramatic events of war, but equally applicable to the arts of peace ; for we doubt not all will allow that the true heroes of man- kind are those who have manfully encpuntered and justly and fairly overcome the difficulties which might have hindered them from arriving at honorable ends by honest means. Viewed in this light, then, the pioneer who subdues the wilderness of nature and surrounds his home with all the luxuries of a well-directed husbandry, is socially far above the victorious warrior, and his toils, privations, and successes are much more worthy of record. In this brief sketch of Windsor county which we place before the reader, there are no bloody battles to review, no great martial victories to record, and no overwhelming defeats to lament. Therefore we purpose simply to notice the formation of the county, to trace in outline the hves of a few of its hardy pioneers, enquire into their early proceedings, follow the erection of each one of the townships therein, and to hand down to future generations the names and occupations of its present residents. To accomplish this task, however, one must necessarily go back to the days when the county was not and glance at the causes that brought it into existence, just as in describ- ing a dehcate wheel or pivot in a complicated piece of mechanism, it would be necessary to understand the whole of the machinery and the relation the wheel bore thereto. It is very uncertain who were the first to visit America. Various authors of note have written on the subject, but their testimony is conflicting and uncertain. For instance, Calmet, a distinguished author, brings forward the writings of Hornius, son of Theodosius the Great, who affirms that " at or about the time of the commencement of the Christian era, voyages from Africa and Spain into the Atlantic ocean were both frequent and celebrated;" 3 1 8 WINDSOR COUNTY. and holds that " there is strong probability that the Romans and Carthagen- ians, even 300 B. C, were well acquainted with the existence of this country,'' adding that there are "tokens of the presence of the Greeks, Romans, Persians and Carthagenians in many parts of the continent." These reports, however, only resolve themselves into mere conjecture. The first authentic record we have of voyages of discovery to America are in the Icelandic accounts. From these we learn that in the year 1000, A. D., Lief, son of Eric the Red. embarked from Greenland on a voyage of discovery and explored the eastern coast of North America as far south as Narragansett bay, in Rhode Island. Other discoverers and navigators followed this expedition, attempts at colonization were made and the country explored, in some localities, quite a distance back from the coast ; but dissensions among the colonists and wars with the natives at length put an end to these rude attempts at civihzation. Except a few vague records and a "rune stone" found here and there throughout the territory, marking a point of discovery, or perhaps the grave of some unhappy Norseman, the history of these explorations are wrapt in obHvion. Even the colonies in Greenland, established by Eric the Red, in 986, and from which the explorers came, were at length abandoned and the site upon which they flourished became, for many years, forgotten. Finally, however, the fifteenth century was ushered in, marking an era of great changes in Europe. It put an end to the darkness of the middle ages ; it witnessed the revival of learning and science and the birth of many useful arts, among which not the least was printing, while the invention of the mariner's compass in the preceding century having enabled sailors to go out of sight of land with impunity, a thirst for exploring unknown seas was awakened. Long voyages were undertaken and important discoveries made. It was during this age of mental activity and growing knowledge that Chris- topher Columbus undertook the most memorable enterprise that human genius ever planned, and which renders his name undying. On the third of August, 1492, a little before sunrise, he set sail from Spam for the discovery of the western world. A little before midnight, on the thirteenth of October, he descried a light on the island of San Salvador. From this moment properly dates the complete history of America. From this time forward its progress bears date from a definite period, and is not shrouded in darkness nor the mists of tradition. Two years after the discoveries of Columbus became known in England, Henry VII. engaged John Cabot, a Venetian merchant, to sail in quest of discoveries in the West, and this navigator, in 1497, reached the coast of Labrador, which he named Prima-vista, thus making, probably, the first visit of Europeans to this coast since the days of the Norseman. This voyage was succeeded by others under Sebastian Cabot, son of John, in 1498 • and by Gasper Cortereal, from Portugal, to whom the discovery of the St. Lawrence some authorities claim is due. This adventurer returned to Lisbon in the month of October of that year, laden with timber and slaves, seized from among the WINDSOR COUNTY. 1 9 natives of the coasts he had visited. On a second voyage he perished at sea. In 1504 the French first attempted a voyage to the New World ; and in that year some Basque and Breton fishermen began to ply their calling on the banks of Newfoundland and along its adjacent coasts. From these the island of Cape Breton derived its name. In 1525 Stefano Gomez sailed from Spain and is supposed to have entered the Gulf of St. Lawrence and to have traded upon its shores. A Castilian tradition relates that, finding neither gold nor silver upon the coasts nor anything which conveyed to these sordid ad- venturers an idea of mines of wealth of any kind, they frequently exclaimed '■'■ aca-nada^' signifying "here is nothing," and that the natives caught up the :S0und, which was repeated by them when other Europeans arrived, and thus gave origin to the designation of Canada. In 1534, Francis I., king of France, listening to the urgent advice of Philip 'Chabot, admiral of France, who portrayed to him in glowing colors the riches and growing power of Spain, derived from her Trans-Atlantic colonies, des- patched Jacques Cartier, an able navigator of St. Malo, who sailed April 20, 1 534) '"''^^ *^° ships of only sixty tons each, and a hundred and twenty men, reaching Newfoundland in May. After coasting along for some time, without knowing it was an island, he at length passed the straits of Belleisle and trav- ersed the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Having spent part of the summer on these coasts, he sailed on the 25th of July, highly pleased with the hospitable recep- tion he had received from the natives, with whom he traded for furs and provisions. His report induced the French king to attempt a colony in the newly discovered regions; and in May, 1535, Cartier sailed with three small ships, with a numerous company of adventurers, and arrived on the coasts of Newfoundland, much scattered and weakened by a disastrous storm of July 26th. Here they took in wood and water, and proceeded to explore the gulf, but were overtaken, August ist, by a storm which obliged them to seek a port, difficult of access, but with a safe anchorage, near the mouth of the " Great river." They left this harbor on the 7th, and on the loth came to a " gulf filled with numerous islands." Cartier gave to this " gulf" the name ■of .S"^. Lawrence, having discovered it on that Saint's festival day. Proceed- ing on this voyage, he explored both shores of the St. Lawrence. Pleased with the friendly disposition of the natives and the comfortable prospects of •of a winter's soj ourn, Cartier moored his vessels where a little river flowed into a "goodly and pleasant sound," which stream he named St. Croix, near the Indian village of Stacona, the site of the present city of Quebec. Subsequently, Oc- tober 2d, he ascended the river to a populous Indian village called Hochelaga, upon the site of which the city of Montreal now stands. Here Donnacona, an Algonquin chief, conducted Cartier to the summit of a mountain about two miles from the village, and to which he gave the name of Mount Royal, or Montreal, and showed him, "in that bright October sun," the country for many miles south and east, and told him of great rivers and inland seas, and of smaller rivers and lakes penetrating a beautiful country belonging WINDSOR COUNTV. to the warlike Iroquois. This beautiful country, which the chief called Iro- quoisia, included the present state of Vermont. Thus, to Jacques Cartier, a French navigator and explorer, is due the honor of having been the first Euro- pean to gaze upon the Green Mountains of Vermont. In May, Cartier returned to France, taking with him the Indian chief, Donnacona, and two other prominent natives of the village, as prisoners ;. and they, who had treated the Frenchmen with uniform kindness, died in a strange land, exiled from their homes and friends. During each succeeding year, for some time after, expeditions were sent out to the newly discovered river ; but misfortune attended them all, and na efficient attempt at colonizing the country was made until 1608, when De- Monts, a Calvinist, who had obtained from the King the freedom of religious faith for himself and followers in America, though under the engagement that the Catholic worship should be established among the natives, after several perilous voyages and much opposition, despatched Cbamplain and Pontgrave, two experienced adventurers, to establish the fur trade and begin a settle- ment. Samuel Charaplain reached Quebec, where Cartier had spent the winter nearly three quarters of a century before, on the 3d of July. On the 1 8th of the following April, 1609, in company with two other Frenchmen and a number of the natives, he started up the St. Lawrence, and, after a time, " turned southward up a tributary" and soon entered upon the lake which perpetuates his name. Thus came the first European upon the territory now included within the limits of Vermont, unless, perhaps, we accept the testimony of a curious document found a few years since on the banks of the Missisquoi river, in Swanton, as follows: In December, 1853, as Messrs. Orlando Green and P. R. Ripley were engaged in excavating sand on the left bank of the Missis- quoi, near the village of Swanton, they discovered embedied in the earth a lead tube about five inches long, and an inch and a half in diameter. En- closed within this tube was found an ancient manuscript bearing the follow- ing:— . . "Nov. 29 A D 1564. •' This is the solme day I must now die this is the 90th day since we lef the Ship, all have parished and on the Banks of this River I die to farewelle may future Posteritye know our end. JOHNE GRAVE." This document bore every appearance of being genuine, and nothing has been developed since to point in an opposite direction. It certainly does not seem improbable tliat a party of sailors should wander away from their ship or for some cause be left behind, and that they should then become lost and finally die in the forest ; and it is also very natural that a sailor should leave some record to tell of his fate; but be this as it may, there is, of course no positive evidence that the manuscript is genuine. The early explorations and discoveries we have mentioned led to much litigation and controversy on the part of the several European countries un- WINDSOR COUNTY. der whose auspices they had been conducted. The English, on the grounds ■of the discoveries of the Cabots, claimed all the territory from Labrador to Florida, to which they gave the name Virginia ; but their explorations were confined principally to the coast between Maine and Albermarle Sound. The French confined their explorations principally to the country bordering on the St. Lawrence and its tributaries, which they named New France, while the Dutch, by the discoveries of Henry Hudson, afterwards laid claim to the country between Cape Cod and the Delaware river, which they called New Netherlands. Attempts at colonization were made by England during the reign of EUza- beth, but they proved abortive, and it was not until the Tudor dynasty had passed away, and several years of the reign of James I., the first of the Stuarts, had elapsed, before the Anglo-Saxon gained any permanent foothold. Stimulated by the spirit of rivalry with France, England pushed her explora- tions and discoveries, while France, from her first colony on the St. Lawrence, explored the vast region from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and estab- lished among the savages missions and trading posts, spreading from Canada through the west, and finally through New York and Vermont. The rivalries and jealousies that had made France and England so long enemies in the Old World were transplanted to the New Continent. The French made alUes of the savages and waged war against the Enghsh, and years of bloodshed followed. The first of these hostilities, which are now known as the old French and Indian wars, began with William's accession to the throne of England, in 1690, and was terminated in the peace of Ryswick, in 1697. Queen Anne's war, so called, came next, commencing in 1702, and terminating in the peace of Utrecht in 17 13. The third controversy was ■declared by George II., in 1744, and continued until the preliminaries of peace were signed at Aux-la-Chapelle, in 1748. The final great conflict was declared by Great Britain, in 1756, and terminated in the capture of Mon- treal, in September, 1760, when the whole of New France, or Canada, was surrendered to Great Britain. During the progress of these wars the territory of Vermont was often crossed and re-crossed by portions of both armies, and a few military settle- ments sprang up. The first of these was in 1665, on Isle La Motte, where a fort was erected by Captain De La Motte, under command of M. De Tracy, governor of New France. In 1690 Captain Jacobus DeNarm, with a party from Albany, N. Y., established an outpost in the present town of Addison, at Chimney Point, where he erected a srriall stone fort. The first permanent settlement, however, was made at Brattleboro, in 1724, when Fort Dummer was built. For six or seven years the garrison of this fort were the only white inhabitants. In 1730, the French built a fort at Chimney Point, and a con- siderable population settled in the vicinity. In 1739 a few persons settled in Westminster, and about the same time a small French settlement was begun at Alburgh, on what is now called Windmill Point, but was soon abandoned. WINDSOR COUNTY. The colony at Westminster increased but slowly, and in 1754 the whole popu- lation, alarmed by the Indian attack upon Charlestown, N. H., deserted their homes. Forts were erected and small settlements were commenced in sev- eral other places, but fear of the Indians prevented any large emigration till after the last French war, when, the Province of Canada being then ceded to Great Britain, the fear of hostile incursions subsided, and the population rap- idly increased. During these wars, also, grants of land lying within the present limits of the State had been made by the Dutch at Albany, by the French, and by the colonies of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York, and each claimed jurisdiction over them. All of these claims, except that of New York, however, were rehnquished without much controversy, of which more will be spoken on another page. But at the close of hostilities the lands were sought so eagerly by adventurers, speculators and settlers, that in a single year subsequent to 1760, Governor Wentworth, of New Hampshire, granted in the name of King George III., not less than sixty townships of six miles square, and two years later the number of such grants amounted to 138. The territory now began to be known by the name of the New Hamp- shire Grants, and the number of actual settlers soon became quite large. The affairs of these settlers were managed by committees in the several towns, who met in general convention, when occasion required, to provide for their common defence and welfare. The decrees of these conventions were regarded as law, and violations of them were punished with extreme severity. While the Revolutionary war was in progress the land title con troversy was in a degree suspended ; but soon after the war broke out it became apparent that the settlers of the Grants needed some better organization than was possible by means of committees and conventions. Accordingly, in 1776, a convention was held at Dorset, and an address to Congress pre- pared, declaring the unwillingness of the settlers to be regarded as subjects of New York. This was not favorably received by Congress, whereupon the more resolute of the people determined to assume the powers of an inde- pendent State " and risk the consequences." Another convention was held at Dorset, in June, and met again by adjournment in September, when such measures were taken that, at a convention held in Westminster, it was decided, on the 16th of January, 1777, that the following declaration should be adopted : — " This convention, whose members are duly chosen by the free voice of their constituents, in the several towns on the New Hampshire Grants, in public meeting assembled, in our names, and in behalf of our constituents, do hereby proclaim and publicly declare, that the district of territory compre- hending and usually known by the name and description of the New Hampshire Grants, of right ought to be, and is hereby declared forever hereafter to be con- sidered as a free and independent jurisdiction or State, by the name and forever hereafter to be called, known and distinguished by the name of New Connecticut, alias Vermont ; and that the inhabitants that at present are or may hereafter become resident, by procreation or emigration within WINDSOR COUNTY. 23 said territory, shall be entitled to the same privileges, immunities and enfran- chisements as are allowed ; and on such condition, and in the same manner, as the present inhabitants, in future, shall or may enjoy; which are, and for- ever shall be, such privileges and immunities to the free citizens and denizens, as are, or, at any time hereafter, may be allowed, to any such inhabitants, or any of the free and independent States of America ; and that such privileges and immunities shall be regulated in a bill of rights and by a form of govern- ment, to be established at the next adjurned session of this convention." On the 4th of June the committee met at Windsor, there being present seventy-two members, representing fifty towns. A committee was appointed to prepare a draft of a constitution for the new State, and recommended to the towns to choose delegates on the 23d of June, to meet at Windsor. July 2d, to discuss and adopt said constitution. The newly elected convention met July 2d and continued in session six days. It received from the committee appointed for that purpose a copy of a constitution very similar to that of Pennsylvania, which was read and discussed. Before it was wholly adopted, however, alarming news of the British army in the western part of the State was received. It was proposed at first to adjourn and leave the work in hand unfinished ; but this was providentially prevented by the occurrence of a thun- der storm. Some who were less agitated by the news from the west side of the State suggested the great importance of finishing the work in hand. This advice was followed, the constitution adopted, an election ordered, and a Council of Safety appointed to manage the affairs of the State until the government should go into operation under the constitution. This independence Vermont pursued, asking no favors, enjoying no bene- fits of the Union and sharing none of its burdens, until March 4, 1791, when she was admitted as one of the Federal States, with the full rights and immuni- ties belonging thereto. Thus Vermont exists to-day — so may she always exist. The constitution has remained without very material alterations, the chief being the substitution of a senate of thirty members, appointed to the several counties according to population, and chosen by a plurality of the freemen of the several counties, in heu of a council of twelve members chosen by a pluraUty of the votes of the State at large; and in 1870 a change from annual to biennial State elections and meetings of the legislatuie. The frame of government now provides for: ist. The executive, the chief officers of which are governor, lieutenant-governor and treasurer, all of whom are elected biennially, by the freemen of the State. 21J. A senate of thirty members, elected as before mentioned. 3d. A house of representatives, consisting of one member from each organized town, elected by the freemen thereof. 4th. A judiciary, the officers of which are elective, the judges of the supreme court (who are also chancellors), by the senate and the house of representatives, in joint assembly ; the assistant judges of county courts (a judge of the supreme court presides in each county court), judges of the probate courts, sheriffs, State's attorneys and high baliffs, by the freemen of the repective counties ; and justices of the peace by the freemen of the 24 WINDSOR COUNTY. several towns. The State election is held in September, biennially, and a majority of all the votes cast is required to elect every officer, except sena- tors and other county officers, including in the latter justices of the peace elected by the several towns ; but in March, the freemen of each town meet for the transaction of public business of the town and the election of town officers. Every term of town offices is limited to one year, or until others are elected, and all town elections are therefore annual. The governor's power of appointment is very limited, embracing, ordinarily, his secretary and military staff only; but he has power to fill any office created by law, where the appointment is not fixed by the constitution or statute, a case which has rarely occurred ; and also to fill any vacancy occurring by deatlf or otherwise, until the office can be filled in the manner required by the constitution or laws. By recent statutes, the governor may nominate, subject to approval by the senate, various offices. The heads of the various State bureaus (except treasurer), and generals of divisions and brigades, are elected by the senate and house in joint assembly,— the former officers bien- nially and generals when vacancies occur. The general assembly meets in the, even years, on the first Wednesday in October. The first officers elected in 1778, were as follows: Thomas Chittenden, governor; Joseph Marsh, lieutenant-governor; Ira Allen, treasurer; T. Chandler, secretary of state ; Nathan Clark, speaker; and Benjamin Baldwin, clerk. Cumberland county, the first established in the grants, was erected by the legislature of the Province of New York, July 3, 1766, and comprised about the district of territory now occupied by Windsor and Windham counties. It probably received its name from Prince William, the Duke of Cumberland, who, in 1746, met with distinguished success in opposing the rebels in Scotland. The county as thus established, however, was changed in its erea several times. At the first session of the legislature of Vermont, in 1778, the State was, on the 17th of March, divided into two counties, the division line being fixed February 11, 1779, the territory on the western side of the mountains being called Bennington county, and that on the eastern, Unity county, though the latter name was changed back to Cumberland on the 2ist of the same month. In 1780 Cumberland county was divided into two shires, Cumberland and Glouster, the divioion line being nearly identi- cal with the present northern bound of Windsor county. By an act passed in February, 1781, "for the division of counties within the State," Cumber- land county, as established in 1778, was subdivided into the counties of Windham, \\'indsor and Orange, and on March 2, 1797, an act was passed dividing the State into eleven counties, when the bounds of Windsor county were permanently fixed, as follows : — " Beginning at the northeasterly corner of Windham county, thence north- erlyon the east line of the State to the southeast corner of Thetford • thence westerly on the southerly lines of the towns of Thetford, Strafford Tun- bridge, Randolph and Braintree ; thence southerly on the west lines of the towns of Rochester, Bridgewater, Saltash [Plymouth], Ludlow, Andover and WINDSOR COUNTY. 25 Benton's Gore, so called [now Weston], so as to include those towns, to the north line of Windham county ; and thence easterly on the north line of Windham county, to the place of beginning." Thus the county is bounded to-day, lying between 43° 13' and 43° 56' north latitude, and between 4° 7' and 4° 45' east longitude, being forty-eight miles long from north to south and thirty wide from east to west, containing about goo square miles of territory and 35,196 inhabitants, and is divided into twenty-four towns, as follows: Andover, Baltimore, Barnard, Bethel, Bridgewater, Cavendish, Chester, Hartford, Ludlow, Norwich, Plymouth, Pomfret, Reading, Rochester, Royalton, Sharon, Springfield, Stockbridge, Weathersfield, Weston, West Windsor, Windsor and Woodstock. The surface of this territory is broken by high mountains, gentle hill slopes and picturesque valleys, the western portion extending high up upon the Green Mountains, while in the eastern part lies the smiling valley of Connec- ticut river. Manufactures are carried on to some extent, though agricul- tural pursuits form the principal occupation of the inhabitants; still, the unsurpassed facilities for water-power and railroad transportation renders it a desirable home for both the manufacturer and the husbandman. Numer- ous streams lend their utility and beauty to the territory, the principal ones of which are Connecticut, White, Black, Quechee and Williams rivers. The Connecticut, whose early navigation facilities, etc., are mentioned on another page, lies between Vermont and NewHampshire, belonging entirely to the latter State, its western bank forming the eastern boundary of this county. Its name is derived from the Indian words Quonnec or Unnec, signifying long, and Tucque or Tuck, signifying river. When the Indians spoke of anything hap- pening along the stream, they used the expression Quonnec tucquok, or Unnec- iuckok meaning "at the long river ;" and hence comes Connecticut. It originates among the mountains m the northern part of New Hampshire, and, for some distance, forms the boundary between that State and Canada. After running between New Hampshire and Vermont, it passes through Massachu- setts and Connecticut, falling into Long Island Sound. The flats bordering it are, in some places, low and extensive ; in others the banks are high and rocky. The intervales are not surpassed in fertility and beauty by any in the country, while their annual submersion by overflow has led to the river being called the " Nile of New England." White river was so called before any settlements were made in Vermont. It is the largest stream in the State east of the Green Mountains, being about fifty-five miles in length and watering 680 square miles of territory. It rises in Granville, and, flowing in a southeasterly course through the north- eastern corner of Hancock, the southwestern part of Rochester and the northeastern corner of Pittsfield, enters Stockbridge. It then turns to the northeast, and after running through the southeastern corner of Bethel, into Royalton, bears to the southeast through Sharon and Hartford and falls into the Connecticut about five miles above the mouth of Quechee river. From 26 WINDSOR COUNTY. Gaysville this river runs slowly through a narrow tract of intervale till, it ar- rives at the eastern part of Stockbridge, after which the current is very rapid until it reaches Bethel village. From Bethel to its mouth the channel of the river is sixteen to eighteen rods in width, the current generally rapid and the water shallow. On occouni of its proximity to Quechee river it receives no large tributaries from the south. From the north it receives three large branches, called the First, the Second and Third branch. The First branch rises in Washington, and flowing through Chelsea and Tunbridge, unites with White river in the eastern part of Royalton. The Second branch rises in Washington, and running southerly through Brookfield and Randolph, enters White river a little west of the center of Royalton. The Third branch origin- ates in Roxbury, flows through the corner of Granville, through Braintree and a corner of Randolph, joining White River at Bethel village. Each of these streams are about twenty miles in length and afford many good mill- seats. Black river is about thirty-five miles in length and waters i6o square miles of territory. It rises in Plymouth and flows south twelve miles into Ludlow; thence east eleven miles, through the center of Cavendish, into Weathersfield, and thence south twelve miles further, joining the Connecticut in the lower part of Springfield. It is remarkable for the number of natural ponds it flows through, and affords a great many mill-sites. Quechee river, also called Ottaquechee and Water Quechee, is also about thirty-five miles in length, and waters 212 square miles of territory. It rises in Sherburne, flows nearly east through the southern part of Bridgewater, thence east-northeast through Woodstock into the southern part of Hartford, and thence southeast through the northeastern corner of Hartland into Con- necticut river, about two miles above Quechee falls. In Bridgewater it receives two considerable branches, viz. : North branch, which rises in the northern part of this township, from the north, and South branch, which rises in Ply- mouth, from the south, both good mill-streams. In Woodstock it receives two other branches of considerable size; one rising in the northeastern cor- ner of Bridgewater and southeastern corner of Barnard, falls into Quechee river from the north just below the north village in Woodstock; the other rising in the southern part of Woodstock, passed through both the villages in that town, and empties into it from the south, just above the mouth of the last mentioned stream. All of these are clear, lively streams, with gravelly or stony bottoms. Williams river derives its name from the celebrated Rev. John Williams, who was taken by the Indians at Deerfield, Mass., in 1704, and who at the mouth of this stream, preached a sermon to his fellow captives. It is formed in Chester, by the union of three considerable branches, which originate in small streams in the townships of Ludlow, Andover, Windham and Grafton. These three branches unite about a mile and a half to the southeast of Ches- ter village, and their united waters, after running fifteen miles in a southeast- WINDSOR COUNTY. 27 erly direction, fall into Connecticut river in Rockingham, three miles above Bellows Falls. GiEOLOGICAL. The science of geology is ever an interesting study, and as related to this county it is exceedingly so ; for here the record of the changes, 01 "footprints," that Time has left in the increasing ages since the earth was created, are numerous and well developed. Before mentioning the several rocks that enter into the formation of the territory, however, it may not be considered superfluous to briefly note the fundamental principles of the science. Among men of science, it has become the common, if not the prevailing opinion, that in the beginning all the elements with which we meet were in an ethereal, or gaseous state — that they slowly condensed, existing for ages as a heated fluid, by degrees becoming more consistent — that thus the whole earth was once an immense ball of fiery matter — that, in the course of time, it was rendered very compact, and at last became crusted over, as the process of cooling gradually advanced, and that its interior is still in a molten condition. Thus, if the view suggested be correct, the entire planet, in its earlier phases, as well as the larger part now beneath and within its soUd crust, was a mass of molten fire, and is known to geologists as elementary or molten. Following this came another age, in which the molten mass began to cool and a crust to form, called the igneous period. Contempora- neous with the beginning of the igneous period came another epoch. The crust thus formed would naturally become surrounded by an atmosphere heavily charged with minerals in a gaseous or vaporous condition. As the cooling advanced this etheriahzed matter would condense and seek a lower level, thus coating the earth with another rock. This is named the vaporous period. At last, however, another age was ushered in, one altogether differ- ent from those that had preceded it. The moist vapor which must of necessity have pervaded the atmosphere began to condense and settle, gathering into the hollows and crevices of the rocks, until nearly the whole surface of the earth was covered with water. This is called the aqueous period. As these waters began to recede and the " firmament to appear," the lone: winter that intervened, while the sun was obscured by the heavy clouds, would cover the earth with mighty ice-floes and glaciers, forming a drift or glacial period. A great difference also exists in the consolidation and structure of the rocks thus formed. The very newest consist of unconsolidated gravel, sand and clay, forming alluvium. A little farther down we come to the tertiary strata, where are some hardened rocks and others more or less soft. Next below the tertiary is found thick deposits, mostly consolidated, but showing a mechanical structure along with the crystalline arrangements of the in- gredients. These are called secondary and transition. Lowest of all are found rocks having a decidedly crystalHne structure, looking as if the different WINDSOR COUNTY. minerals of which they are composed crowded hard upon one another. These rocks are called metamorphoric, hypozoic and azoic. The principal portion of the rocks of this territory is azoic and known as talcose schist and cakiferous mica schist, though both are cut by beds and veins of other formations. Talcose schist proper consists of quartz and talc, though it has associated with it, as integral parts of its formation, clay slate, gneiss, quartz rock, sandstones and conglomerates, limestones and dolo- mites. It underlies nearly the whole of the western part of the county, and also crops out again along the Connecticut river in the northern and southern parts of the same. The cakiferous tnica schist, fi\\\c\\ underlies so great a portion of the eastern part of the county, is supposed to have originally been a limestone forma- tion, charged with a good deal of silex, and perhaps with sihcates and organic matters, and that in the process of metamorphism the carbonated or alkaline water with which the rock had been charged has dissolved and abstracted a good deal of the carbonate of lime and formed cilicated miner- als, such as mica and feldspar, which have more or less, and sometimes entirely, changed the rock into mica schist and gneiss. Thus will be found a large bed of gneiss rock extending through a large portion of the towns of Ches- ter, Springfield, Weathersfield, Cavendish, West Windsor, Reading, and Hartland, as far north as Hartford. From Cavendish, a long, narrow vein of the rock branches off to the northwest, becoming lost in the northern part of Barnard, where it meets a narrow bed of clay slate extending through Bethel and a corner of Royalton, from Orange county. In the extreme western part of the county, extending through the towns of Bridgewater, Stockbridge, and Rochester, is another narrow vein of clay slate, while a larger bed extends down through the Connecticut river valley. Small beds of steatite, granite and azoic limestone are found scattered throughout the county, which are spoken of in connection with the towns wherein they are found. Numerous evidences of the drift period are met with throughout the county, and indeed the same may be said of the whole State, for in every town are found loose, transplanted masses of granite, quartz, slate or green stone ; bowlders they are called. By studying the rocks in the mountains and ledges, we can almost always trace these bowlders back to their parent beds. Hundreds of bowlders lie strewn all over the State, which can be traced back to mountains or ledges in the north and northwest. And in almost every town, ledges of rock are found planed down, polished and scratched — the scratches or groves running generally southward. These scratches are found high up upon the mountains. On Mt. Tom, in Woodstock, are fine exam- ples, and they are even found above the "Chin" on Mansfield Mountain. Some tremendous force of water and ice has acted there, moving south- ward, crushing the rocks into gravel and sowing the hills and valleys with bowlders. The flood overtopped the Green Mountains. When the drift WINDSOR COUNTY. 29. period passed away the country was peopled by gigantic elephants. Then the face of New England, New York and the Provinces sank, at least five hundred feet, and part of Vermont became the bottom of an ocean tenanted by whales. So follows change after change, until one becomes lost in con- templating the infinitude of time it must have taken to perform all this. Erosion also takes a prominent part in geological changes, doing a large amount of work since the powerful denudation mentioned above. The erod- ing action of water, through many years of gradual change, is well illustrated in the numerous terraces found throughout the county, and in the chasms of Cavendish and Ludlow, and Quechee chasm, in Hartford, described in con- nection with the sketches of those towns. But even these are trifling as illustrations. Ascutney Mountain, at Windsor, towers a nearly isolated mass almost 3,000- feet above Connecticut river. For its formation we must look away back of the igneous period. The predominant rock of Ascutney is syenite, with very little hornblende, however, hence it ofteii passes into a highly feldspathic gran- ite, and sometimes into porphyry, with a crystalline and not a compact base. Sometimes we find large and irregular veins oi granite, penetrating the syenite in such a manner that large surfaces look like breccia. Indeed, we often see concretionary masses, only a few inches across, scattered through the granite^ Such facts can only be explained by fusion. When granite occurs in inter- stratified rocks, we may generally regard it as simply a metamorphosis of those rocks. But when the metamorphosis is so complete as not only to obhterate every trace of stratification, but also to send the melted matter into fissures so as to form veins, we may be sure that the heat was great enough to produce entire fusion. This being the fact, then, it is proved that at least a part and nearly all of Ascutney was fornjed by the melting down of a coarse breccia, no longer found in the region, save a small portion that remains un- melted as a coating of the granite of Little Ascutney. From all these facts then, we cannot doubt that Ascutney has been in a melted state, so as to re- quire the stratified rocks to rise around and above it to prevent its flowing outward. And if they extended 2,000 or 3,000 feet above its present sum- mit, as they probably did, then the amount of erosion at Windsor has been as much as 6,000 feet, or a mile and one-eighth ! And by a parity of reason, probably 'it has been as great all along the Connecticut valley; so that orig- inally the surface there was as high as Mt. Washington. The vastness of such a denudation causes one almost to shrink from its contemplation. Evidences of the aqueous period axt left here by ancient sea beaches, mo- raine terraces, ancient sea bottoms, etc., which were formed by the gradual drainage of the country as it rose out of the ocean by almost imperceptible increments, or as the waters retired while the continent stood still. At first only a few of the highest mountains would project, as islands above the waters. But the waves and currents v/ould begin their action upon the shores and the bottom, and the materials worn off and comminuted would be arranged in form 3° WINDSOR COUNTY. of beaches or sea bottoms. But not till a considerable part of the land had emerged, and chains of lakes were produced, and incipient rivers formed cur- rents through them, would regular terraces begin to be deposited. The markings are found beautifully developed all through the valleys of White, Black and Williams rivers. In Plymouth is a large moraine terrace, connected with another in Shrewsbury by an old river bed. In Windsor, also, are found beautiful specimens of terraces, the whole village of Windsor being located upon the summit of one. In the northeastern part of Weathersfield is a large moraine terrace, and in the northern part of Norwich are fine speci- mens of a sea beach and moraine terrace. Windsor county is also rich in minerals, there having been found gold, lead, tin and iron within its limits. But all these ore beds are mentioned in con- nection with the sketches of the several towns wherein they are found, to which we refer the reader for detailed mention thereof, and also for further geologi- cal notices of interest. SOIL AND STAPLE PRODUCTIONS. The soil differs materially in different parts of the county, though in general it is inferior to none in the State. The valley of the Connecticut is proverbial for its fertility. In Windsor county, the rocks of the valley are mostly schistose, and thus disintegrate rapidly, constantly adding new rich- ness to the soil. Then, too, the alluvial terraces found so plentifully in the valleys of the White, Quechee, Black and Williams rivers, afford large areas of land possessing a deep, arable soil. Upon the higher lands, where the country is not too broken, large areas of grazing land are afforded. Some idea of the resources of the territory may be obtained from the following statistics, shown by the census report of 1880, according to which the county has 4,455 farms, rejjresenting an area of 420,099 acres of improved land, valued at $11,331,946.00, while its total public debt, bonded and floating, is $516,136.00. These farms supported 8,269 horses, one mule, 3,897 working oxen, 18,178 milch cows, 20,482 other cattle, 108,393 sheep, and 8,170 swine. The stock products for the year were 615,835 pounds of wool, 264,008 gallons of nnilk, 1,905,225 pounds of butter, and 183,654 pounds of cheese. The products of these farms were 10,217 bushels of barley, 28,897 bushels of buckwheat, 357,658 bushels of Indian corn, 316,976 bushels of oats, 5,931 bushels of rye, 27,265 bushels of wheat, 1 19,049 tons of hay, 18,798 pounds of hops, 396,483 bushels of potatoes, 200 pounds of tobacco, and an orchard product valued at $91,178.00. Surely not a bad showing for a little tract of country having a population of only 35,196 souls. MANUFACTURES. With the exception of the manufactures of lumber in its various branches and several large cloth manufacturing establishments, this is not what might WINDSOR COUNTY. 31 be termed a manufacturing county ; and as the manufactures are spoken of in detail in connection with the towns wherein they are located, we will dismiss the subject with the following statistics for the year 1880. There were then 380 manufacturing establishments in the county, representing an invested capital of $2,886,905.00, giving employment to 2,567 hands, to whom was paid $675,370.00 in wages. The total value of materials used was $2,601,047.00, and the total product $4,218,732.00. COURTS AND COUNTY BUILDINGS. The old county of Cumberland was erected by New York, July 3, 1766. To the inhabitants were granted all the powers and privileges enjoyed by the other counties and towns in the province, excepting only the choice of mem- bers to represent the county in the Provincial Assembly. In another portion of the act, provision was made for the erection of a court-house and jail. The freeholders and inhabitants of the county were authorized to elect super- visors, assessors, collectors, a treasurer and other county officers. At the meeting next after their appointment the supervisors were directed to levy and collect of those residing or sojourning in the county, a sum not exceed- ing ;^20o, to be applied in constructing a court-house and jail. Chester being considered the most convenient among the townships, and nearest the center of the county, was selected as the location for these buildings, and the sheriff was ordered to compute mileage from the court-house. By another act, passed July 5th of the same year, the judges and justices were directed to hold yearly, in Chester, a court of common pleas, to hear, and according to the laws of New York, to try and determine all suits, controversies and differences which might arise. A court of general sessions of the peace was also established, and the first Tuesday in June and the first Tuesday in No- vember in each year, were selected as the days on which these judicatories were to commence their sessions. The length of each term session was Hmi- ted to four days, and the two courts were authorized to sit at the same time, in order that business might be faciUtated. Competent men were selected as judges and assistant justices of the court of common pleas. Justices of the peace and other county officers were appointed and a foundation laid for administering the law in accordance with the most approved methods. When in 1768 a new charter was granted to Cumberland county, permis- sion had been given to the inhabitants to erect at their own expense a court- house and jail. Chester was again decided upon as the location for these buildings. Although there were objections to this place as the county town, ■ both on account of its distance from Connecticut river and its backwardness as compared with other settlements, yet these objections were for the time effectually silenced by Thomas Chandler, the first judge, by promising that he would " at his own expense build a good and sufficient court-house and jail at Chester." How well his promise was observed will appear by the annexed extract from an old chancery document. The time to which the 32 WINDSOR COUNTY. description applies is the latter part of the year 1770. That which "then was called a jail,'' so runs the old document, "was a place made in the cor- ner of a dwelling or hut, the walls of which house were made of small hack- matac poles locked together at the corners by cutting notches into the poles, and laying them notch into notch, so as to bring the poles as near together as conveniently might be. The cracks or vacancies between pole and pole were filled with tow, moss, or clay. The chamber floor was laid with shingle boards, which were not nailed, but lay loose. Such was the house, a corner of which then had the name of a jail, which jail corner may be justly described as foUoweth, viz.: Small palisades or poles of the diameter of about six inches each were set up, one end of them on the lower floor, and the other end reaching one of the joists on which rested the upper floor. These poles resting against the joists, hindered them from falling inwards to the jail part, and another pole at some inches distant was pegged up With wooden pegs, which pole was fixed about parallel with the joist, and pre- vented the palisades from falling outward from the jail apartment ; and, as many of the palisades were not fastened at the top or bottom, nor the cham- ber floor nailed, it was always in the power of any man who might be put into the jail apartment to push away the loose upper floor boards, and move away the palisades and be at liberty." This jail stood where Coleman Saunders now resides. During that summer, however, the inhabitants commenced the erection of another jail, which was never finished, and the old jail was somewhat strengthened. In addition to this commodious jail, Chandler also built, in 1771, a court-house, which, according to his description, was "thirty feet long, sixteen feet wide, and eleven feet posts," and was so planned as to be " convenient " when finished. It was provided with a "sufficient lobby or room fit for a jury, with a fire-place in it," and was covered with some kind of roofing. This building he leased to the county for a term of ten years, and as much longer as they might choose to use it. In it were to be held the terms of the inferior court of common pleas, and the court of general sessions, and in it was also to be transacted all the business relating to the general welfare of the county. But the people, who had been displeased at Chandler's eff"orts at jail building, were now doubly incensed at his failure at court-house construction. Before the commencement of this last failure they had endeavored to effect the removal of the shire town from Chester • this, after much agitation, some rioting, etc., was accomplished, and at a meeting of the supervisors held at Chester, May 26, 1772, Westminster was chosen as the shire town of Cumberland county, where a good court-house and jail were built. Upon the erection of Windsor county, Windsor was made the shire town by an act of the legislature approved October 19, 1781. This act, however does not seem to have settled the case, for the old rivalry betweeii the river and inland towns was maintained, so that the county had no court- WINDSOR COUNTY. 3, house until 1784. In the spring of 1784, however, a meeting was finally called by the authority of the county, at the town-house in Windsor, for the purpose of deciding in what town a court-house and jail should be erected. In answer to this call a few were present at the meeting of the 17 th of March, but nothing was accomplished, for the want of a quorum. Aware of the difficulties which would arise from a discussion of the eligibility of differ- ent localities, and convinced that Windsor, already a county town afforded the greatest advantages for the erection of a county building, a number of the citizens of that place assembled and subscribed upward of _^i 00 towards defraying the expenses of erecting an edifice fifty feet in length and thirty- four in width, to be finished in a manner appropriate to the uses for which it was designed. A competent builder was immediately engaged, and the structure was commenced within three days after its erection had been resolved upon. Even this decided measure, however, does not seem to have ended the vexed question, for in 1786 the legislature designated Woodstock as the shire town, and in 1787 it was enacted that the courts should be held at Windsor till the court-house should be built by the inhabitants of Woodstock to the acceptance of the judges of the county court. In 1790 it was enacted that the courts should sit alternately at Windsor and Woodstock, with this curious proviso : " Provided always, and this grant is upon this express condition that the court-houses in said Woodstock and Windsor shall be finished by the respective towns, free of any expense to said county, and finished with good iron stoves, to the acceptance of the judges of the supreme court, before the next stated term of the court in said county." A somewhat singular con- tingency on which to leave the matter of having any courts at all in the county to depend. In 1791 it was enacted that the act making said two shires should remain in force for three years after the passing of the same, after which Woodstock should be and remain as the shire town of the county. This proved final, and Woodstock has since remained the shire town. When Woodstock was designated as the shire town, in 1786, what now con- stitutes the main and most beautiful portion of the village was owned by Capt. Israel Richardson, and was called his farm. On the 29th of May, 1787, he conveyed to the county, by metes and bounds, what are now the public grounds and park in the village, and during the same year the building of the first court- house was commenced. It was a two-story building, having the court-room on the second floor, and was located on the south side of the park, on the corner opposite the Eagle Hotel. The first sessions of the courts were held therein in May, 178R. Before the house was entirely finished, however, it was destroyed by fire, in November, 1790. June i, 1793, the second court-house was com- pleted. It stood on the north side of the square, and was furnished with a bell, purchased by Jesse Williams, at Hartford, Conn., the first bell brought into the county: In 1836 it was thoroughly repaired, making it a commodi- 3 34 WINDSOR COUNTY. ous, fine-looking building; but this building was in turn destroyed by fire, July 4, 1854, by fire-crackers accidentally falling upon its roof. The December court of that year was held in a room known as Union Hall, on Elm street. The present court-house, a large, two-story brick structure surmounted by a belfry, stands upon the north side of the park. It was built in 1854, at a cost of $14,000.00, a part of which expense was sustained by the town of Woodstock. Its architect was the same who planned the State House at Montpelier ; but it has received extensive repairs and improvements since 1854. The first floor is used as a town hall, while the second floor is divided into a court-room, jury-room, judges' room, witness and lawyers' rooms. The fiist jail was built in 1787, on the south side and upper end of the park, facing northeast. This jail seems to have been a very poor affair. Although the general assembly, on the first of March, laid a tax on the county of two cents per pound, to raise the money for erecting it, and in the following No- vember laid an additional tax of half a cent on the pound for its completion, it seems never to have been completed. Judge Keyes, in speaking of it twenty years later, says " it was an old, weak, stinking thing, scarcely a shadow of a jail; for the prisoners had, and could at any time, burn out with a small coal and a goose quill for a bellows." It did service for about ten years, however, when a new jail was erected, on Central street, which is still in use, though so greatly altered and improved as to bear no resemblance to its former appearance. In 1 868-69 >' ^^ enlarged and repaired, at an ex- pense of $9,641. 08, and is now a fine, modern structure, containing, aside from the jail proper, the jailor's residence, offices of the register of probate, county clerk, etc. The supreme court holds its sessions on the first Thursday after the fourth Tuesday next after the fourth Tuesday in January, and the county court sits on the first Tuesday m May, and first Tuesday in December. The county has two probate districts, Hartford and Windsor, the dividing line, with Hartford district on the north, being the north line of the towns of Windsor, West Windsor, Reading and Plymouth.

The act establishing the prison was passed on the 3d of November, 1807, providing for the appointment, by a joint ballet of both houses, of five commissioners, who should be empowered to fix a plan and place for the same, and superintend the erection and finishing of it. The commissioners elected for this purpose were Ezra Butler, Samuel Shaw, John Cameron, Josiah Wright and Elihu Luce. They were directed to proceed in the discharge of the duties assigned them without unnecessary delay, and were authorized to draw upon the treasury of the State for any sum, not exceeding $30,000.00 in carrying the designs of the legislature into effect. Having fixed upon Windsor as the location for the institution, the work -was commenced in 1808 and carried forward nearly to its completion, in • 1809. The original prison, eighty-four feet long and thirty-six wide, built ■entirely of stone, is what is now known as the east wing. A work shop, keepers' house, etc., were also built, the whole being nearly completed in 1809, at a cost of about $39,000.00. In 1830 the "new prison," or west wing, was erected, 112 feet in length and forty in width, and in 1882, aside from repairs and improvements at different times, a general reconstruction was made. The old workshop was demolished and a new brick one erected, 140x40 feet, two stories above the basement, with square pitched truss roof, slated. The basement is divided into four rooms — a store room in each end, with coal and engine rooms in the center. The engine is of Exeter 38 WINDSOR COUNTY. make, and its boilers furnish steam for heating the shops, oflfices, superintend ent's house and the prison. The workshop has two main floors, fitted with the best machinery for the manufacture of ladies', misses' and children's boots and shoes, W. D. Brackett & Co., of Boston, contractors, paying the State fifty cents per day for each man, and for furnishing the necessary power and machinery for carrying on the business. The new central build- ing connects the old and new prisons, and is 46x43 feet, three stories above the basement, and surmounted by an English cottage roof, having six dor- mer windows, and a cupola rising forty feet higher. The basement is divided into six rooms — kitchen, dining-room, laundry, store-room, sink and bath-room. The third room is twenty-three feet deep and has a large front bay window, giving views of the work shop and entire prison yard. From side windows the prison halls and corridors can be seen. Doors open there- from into the yard and corridors. The second floor is divided into sleeping rooms, one of which is used as a reading room. The third floor has six sleeping rooms, two being fitted up for female convicts. This new structure is most substantially built. The floors are hard pine and the interior finish is of oak and ash. The rooms have ash wainscoting and the walls are either in hard plaster, fine finish, or painted. Hot and cold water is fur- nished throughout the building. t The superintendent's dwelling stands directly in front of the new central building, fronting on State street. It is 38x42 feet on the ground, two sto- ries high, with an English cottage roof, having five dormer windows. It has also two bay windows and is connected with the prison guard-room by an archway from the rear of the second story. This building is also neatly and elegantly finished. Just back of the old prison is located the tailor shop and chapel, under one roof. The east wing has 104 cells and the west wing fifty-six, all remarkably clean and well-kept. E. W. Oaks is superintendent and D. L. Spaulding principal keeper of the prison. The first commitments to the prison were made in 1809, and during that year twenty-four convicts were entered. Since that time there have been 2,570 commitments, thirty-four of them for murder, and the institution now has eighty-four inmates, (August, 1883,) two of whom are females. Of the thirty-four who were sentenced for murder, seven were pardoned, seven died in prison, two were taken to the insane asylum, six are still in prison, an(f twelve were executed. In 1839 the State legislature passed a law that all executions should take place in the prison yard, they having been public up to that time. The first execution in the State was that of David Redding, at Bennington, in 1778; the second, Cyrus B. Dean, at Burlington, in 1808; the third, Samuel E. Godfrey, at Woodstock, in 1818 ; the fourth, Virginia, a colored man, at St. Albans, in 1820; the fifth, Archibald Bates, at Ben- nington, in 1839, the last pubhc execution, and at which there is estimated to have been 15,000 spectators. The first in the prison was on January 20, 1864, when Sandy Kavanaugh and William Barnett, both for wife murder WINDSOR COUNTY. go were executed at the same time. Since then there have been ten executions, as follows: John Ward, for the murder of Mrs. Griswold, of Williston, March 20, 1868 ; Hiram Miller, for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua G. Gowen, of Ascutneyville, June 25, 1869; Henry Welcome, for the murder of Perry Russell, of Hinesburgh, Jainuary 20, 187 1 ; John P. Phair, for the murder of Mrs. Ann E. Freese, of Rutland, April 10, 1879; Henry Gravlin, for the murder of Herbert O. White, of Weathersfield, March 24, 1879; Asa Magoon, for the murder of Rufus Streeter, of Barre, November 28, 1879; Edward Tatro, for the murder of Mrs. Charles Butler, of Highgate, April 2, 1880 ; Edwin C. Hayden, for the murder of his wife at Derby Line, February 25, 1881 ; Royal S. Carr, for the murder of William Wallace Marcommock, a half-breed, of Worcester, April 29, 1881 ; and Emeline L. Meeker, for the murder of Alice, her niece, near Waterbury, March 30, 1883. THE POOR. Those who from age, infirmity or otherwise, become unable to support themselves, and are so unfortunate as to be obliged to rely upon public charity for support, are cared for, in conformity with the laws of the State, by the inhabitants of the town wherein they reside. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. From time immemorial Connecticut river was the favorite pathway of Indian travel, and later was used as the great highway of the eastern part of the State by the whites. After the estabhshment of a trading station at Charleston, or Number Four, in 1727, the route which the Indians usually took in going from Canada to Fort Dummer, was by Lake Champlain, Otter Creek and Black and Connecticut rivers. The government of Massachusetts, in order to ascertain the exact course of this Indian road, obtained from a certain James Coss the following diary of a journey from Fort Dummer to Lake Champlain, performed in the year 1730. From it something may be learned of the manner of travehiig in the wilderness in those early times, and of the hardships pertaining thereto. ,Thus the journal reads: — "Monday, ye 27th April, 1730, at about twelve of ye clock we left Fort Dummer, and travailed that day three miles, and lay down that night by West River, which is three miles distant from Fort Dummer. Notabene. — I travailed with twelve Canady Mohawks that drank to great excess at ye fort and killed a Skatacook Indian in their drunken condition, that came to sipoke with them. "Tuesday. — We travailed upon the great River [Connecticut] about ten miles. " We kept ye same course upon ye great River, travailed about ten miles, and eat a drowned Buck that night. " Tuesday. — We travailed upon ye greart River within two miles of ye Great Falls, [Bellows Falls] in said River, then went upon Land to ye Black River above ye Great Falls, went up in that River and lodged about a mile 40 WINDSOR COUNTY. and a half from the mouth of Black River, which days travail we judged was about ten miles. " Fryday. — We cross Black River at Falls [Springfield village] afterwards travail through ye woods N. N. W., then cross Black River again about sev- enteen miles above our first crossing, afterwards travailed ye same course, and pitched our tent on ye homeward side of Black River. " Saturday. — We crossed Black River, left a great mountain on ye right hand and another on ye left [in Ludlow]. Keep a N. W. course till we pitch our tent after eleven miles travail by a Brook which we called a branch of Black River. "Sabbath Day. — Soon after we began our day's work, an old pregnant squaw that travailed with us, stopt alone and was delivered of a child, and by Monday noon overtook us with a living child upon her Back. We travail to Black River. At ye three islands, between which and a large pound we past ye River, enter a mountain [in Plymouth], that afforded us a prospect of ye place of Fort Dummer. Soon after we enter a descending country, and travail till we arrive at Arthur Creek, [Otter creek] in a descending land. In this day's travail which is twenty-one miles, we came upon seven Brooks which run a S. W. course at ye north end of said Mountain. From Black River to Arthur Creek we judge is twenty-five miles. " Monday. — Made Canoes. " Tuesday. — Hindered travailing by rain. " Monday. — We go in our Canoes upon Arthur Creek, till we meet two great falls in said river [in Rutland]. Said River is very Black and deep and surrounded with good land to ye extremity of our prospect. This day's travail thirty five mile. " Thursday, — We sail forty miles in Arthur Creek. We meet with great Falls [Middlebury Falls], and a little above them we meet with two other great Falls [at Weybridge], and about ten miles below ye said Falls, we meet two other pretty large Falls [at Vergennes]. We carried our canoe by these Falls and came to ye Lake. " As the county was settled, it became apparent that some more convenient mode of transportation must be devised than the flat-boats afforded on the Connecticut or than was afforded by the several stage lines. Accordingly, October 29, 1829, the legislatures of Vermont and New Hampshire passed an act incorporating the Connecticut River Steamboat Company, the char- ter being given to " Jonathan H. Hubbard, Frederick Pettes, George D. Button, Isaac W. Hubbard, Edward R. Campbell, Albert G. Hatch, David H. Sumner, William Hall, James I. Cutler, Alexander Fleming and their associates." This charter was altered, however, Novembers, 1830, to the Connecticut River Valley Steamboat Company, allowing the corporation to " jiurchase, hold and convey, real estate to the value of $20,000.00." Canals and locks were built where rapiils or falls occurred, so that the Connecticut navigation became very convenient from Hartford, Conn., to the "Fifteen mile" fall at Dalton. Three of these canals were located in Vermont, one at Bellows Falls, one at Sumner's Falls and another at Alcott's Falls. Between these falls, except between Sumner's and Alcott's, were located steamboats that were plied until the canal was reached, then the passengers and freight d to be transported to the steamer waiting at the other end of the canal WINDSOR COUNTY. 41 though the flat-boats, rafts, etc., made through trips, using the locks. One steamer, run by Captain Nutt, of White River, was built in 1830, so as to be locked through the entire length, but it did not prove a success. The first attempt at steamboat navigation on the Connecticut was in X&27, when the Barnet, a strong boat, seventy five by fourteen and a half feet, was built and succeeded, with some help, in ascending the river as far as Bellows Falls. This was her first and last trip, however, for she was taken back to Hartford, laid up, and finally broken to pieces. In 1829 a Mr. Blanchard built a boat called the Blanchard, of the size of the preceding, and another eighty feet long and fourteen feet wide, drawing only twelve or fifteen inches of water, called the Vermont. The stroke of the piston was horizontal and the engine a 120 horse power. Afew experimental trips were made between Bellows Falls and Barnet, but the obstacles were such that the undertaking was relinquished, and the method of plying boats between the locks substituted instead. But the advent of the railroad into the country, in 1848, took away the business of the river and the old canals and locks liave long since come to ruin. On November 10, 1835, the Connecticut and Passurapsic Rivers Railroad was chartered by the legislature ; but owing to the difficulty experienced in securing subscriptions to stock, nothing was done toward building the road, so the charter became void. It was revived, however, October 31, 1843, the time for beginning its construction being limited to three years. As orig- inally chartered, the road was to run from some point near the Connecticut river on the Massachusetts line, up the Connecticut and' Passumpsic valleys, reaching Canada at some point in Newport or Derby, as might be feasible. By an act of 1845, however, the right to "divide the route at the White river, near its mouth," was granted, recognizing the northern half as the Connecticut & Passumpsic Rivers Railroad, and allowing that portion to retain all subscriptions to the stock already received, while the portion to the south of the Junction, as originally charteredj was given over to another •corporation, when the division was made, to be known as the Connecticut River Railroad. The Vermont Central Railroad Company, subsequently changed to the Cen- tral Vermont Railroad Company, was incorporated November r, 1843, for the purpose, and with the right, of building a railroad " from some point on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain, up the valley of Onion river and extend- ing to a point on Connecticut river most convenient to meet a railroad either from Concord, New Hamshire, or Fitchburgh, Massachusetts." The route decided upon was up the Connecticut from Windsor to the mouth of White river, thence up that stream to the source of its third branch, thence, reaching the summit in Roxbury, and passing down the valley of Dog river, it enters the Winooski valley near Montpelier, and thence, continuing in the Winooski valley, its terminus is reached at Burlington, a distance of 117 miles. Charles Paine was chosen president of the company, and ground 42 WINDSOR COUNTY. was broken at Windsor, December 15, 1845, °" the farm formerly occupied by Judge Elijah Paine, father of Charles Paine, where the latter was bom, the first ground broken for a railroad in Vermont. The contract was let to Sewal F. Belknap, to whose great energy, perseverance, and fortune, the early success of the enterprise is mainly due. In the Old South church bur- ial ground, at Windsor village, is a plain, pure white marble shaft that marks his last resting place. Upon its granite base is inscribed the following inscription : — Sewal F. Belknap, BORN November 29, 18 12, DIED June 19, 1849. A MAN OF Unbounded Enterprise, OF Strict Integrity, AND AN Unfailing Friend. The Vermont Central Railroad, in which he sacrificed his Fortune and his Life, is mainly indebted to hi.m for its existence. Regular passenger trains first passed over the road from White River Junction to Bethel, a distance of twenty-seven miles, the first train, and the first regular passenger train in Vermont, running over the route Monday, June 26, 1848. June 20, 1849, the road was opened through for business. The following are the present officers of the Central Vermont Company, with their offices at St. Albans: Hon. J. G. Smith, president; J. W. Hobart, general superintendent ; J. M. Foss, assistant superintendent ; I. B. Futvoie, superintendent northern division ; Jesse Burdett, superintendent Rutland division; E. A. Chittenden, superintendent of local freight traffic; and S. W. Cummings, general passenger agent. The Connecticut & Passumpsic Rivers Railroad Company was organized in January 1846, with Erastus Fairbanks, president. The survey was begun in April, and grading commenced soon after. October 10, 1848, the road was formally opened to Bradford, a distance of 28.37 miles from White River Junction, and November 6th of the same year was opened through to Wells river, 40.17 miles. St, Johnsbury was reached in 1852, and Barton became the terminus in 1858-59. Thus the work proceeded gradually, as stock was taken and funds procured. Newport became a railroad town in 1863, during which year the grading was completed to the Canada line. This point gained, another halt occurred until the connecting link from the Grand Trunk line, at Lennoxville, P. Q., 33-75 mWes should be assured. On the WINDSOR COUNTY. 43 ist of July, 1870, this link, under the title the Massawippi Valley Railroad, was ready for trains and has been operated since by the C. & P. R. R. R., under a lease for 999 years. Practically, however, the terminus of this road is at Sherbrook, three miles farther north, where its round-house is located, using the Grand Trunk road this latter distance. The total mileage of the road is thus 145 miles, and its present officers are E. Raymond, president, and N. P. Lovering, treasurer, with the principal offices at Lindonville, Caledonia county. The Champlain & Connecticut River Railroad Company was incorporated November i, 1843, for the purpose of "constructing a railroad from some point at Burhngton, thence southwardly, through the counties of Addison, Rutland, Windsor and Windham, to some point on the western bank of the Connecticut river." The route decided upon was from Bellows Falls to Burlington, a distance of iig^ miles, passing through portions of the valleys of WilKams and Black rivers, and along the valley of Otter creek. The first meeting of the stockholders was held at Rutland, May 6, 1845, with Timothy Follett, of Burlington, chairman, and L. Brown, clerk. It was voted to open subscriptions to stock June loth, of that year, which was accordingly done. On November 6, 1847-, the legislature changed the name of the corporation to the Rutland & Burlington Railroad Company, and subsequently it was changed to the Rutland Railroad Company. It is now known as the Rut- land Division of the Central Vermont Railroad, having been leased to the Vermont Central Company, in January, 1871, for a period of twenty years. The first blow towards its construction was struck during the month of February, 1847, in the town of Rockingham, near Bellows Falls, and in two years and nine months it was completed, being opened through December 18, 1849. The Woodstock Railroad, with the right of building a road from Wood- stock village to White River Junction, a distance of fourteen miles, was issued October 30, 1863. The company was not organized, however, until January 9, 18^7, with A. G. Dewey, chairman, and Luther O. Greene, secretary, a board of nine directors being also chosen. January 23, 1867, the organiza- tion was completed by electing Peter T. Washburn, president ; Luther O. Greene, clerk ; and S. E. Munger, treasurer. Work upon the construction of the road was begun in the spring of 1868, and it was completed in 1869. J. G. Porter, of Woodstock, is president of the road. NEWSPAPERS. The early journalists of Vermont found that " all that glitters is not gold, " and that the "life of a newspaper man is not a happy one;" for it was not until 1784, a year after the Vermont Journal, the third paper started in the State, was first issued, that postoffices were established. Then Anthony Hoswell, the Bennington editor, was postmaster-general of the State, and there were five postoffices under the control of his' department, viz. : Rut- 44 WINDSOR COUNTY. land, Bennington, Brattleboro, Windsor and Newbury. Later on, after Ver- mont had joined the Union, Alden Spooner was postmaster at Windsor, and the great progress made may be seen from the statement pulished in his Ver- mont Journal of July to, 1792, when he says that " mail will go north from Windsor (even into Hanover) every Thursday. Mails were carried by "postriders, " some idea of whose business maybe obtained from William Cranny's advertisement in the Journal o{ June 16, 1784, which reads as fol- lows : — " William Cranny has engaged to ride as a Post from Brattleborough to Windsor ; he will bring the Bennington paper up on Thursday, and returo with the Vermont Journal, etc., on Friday, till such lime as it may bethought €xpedient to alter to some other day. The Bennington paper will be afforded at Three Shillings per quarter, and the Journal at Two Shillings and Six Pence, one half to be paid at entrance, the other half at expiration of the quarter. Every endeavor will be exerted to give satisfaction to all who em- ploy him ; and the public in general may depend on the faithful discharge of every business committed to his care. Some idea of the remuneration received by the newspaper man of those days may be derived from the following notice printed in the Journal of Sep- tember 4, 1783 : — " Printers' services to their customers and others. — It being represented by a number of gentlemen that, in consequence of the scarcity of money, many people consider themselves unable to take the Newspapers, not knowing Country Produce would answer for payment, Cash being the only article mentioned in their proposals : They would inform such that any kind of Grain, or other Produce, will be received. Those who have already sub- scribed, and not paid up the first quarter, are requested to do it immediately, as the number of subscribers is still so small as to render punctual payment absolutely necessary." In the following list, we believe, are mentioned all the papers ever pub- lished in the county, unless it be one or two amateur ventures that amounted to little and flourished but a few weeks, and some that were sent out (as has been the case with the Vermont Journal) with a separate title for certain localities. For the sake of brevity and convenience we have arranged alpha- betically the towns wherein they were published, ard the several papers of such towns chronologically. Publications that are now being issued are de- noted by small capitall letters. Chester. — The Green Mountain Palladium was established by Charles, William and Henry Spear, three brothers from Boston, in 1808, and was continued about twelve years when its publication was given up. Freedom's Banner was next commenced, in 1830, by Fellows & Co., and was published weekly for about ten years, then discontinued. The Musical Gazette, a monthly musical journal, was commenced by a Mr. Silsley, in 1840, and continued about three years. Hartford. — The IVhite River Advertiser and Vermont Family Gazette was started in October, 1852, at White River Junction, by Ira Davis and E. Southworth. In 1853 the oflSce was destroyed by fire, and the paper was WINDSOR COUNTY. 45 never resumed. It was established by removing The Federal Gazette from Bradford, Vermont. The Republican Observer was commenced at White River Junction by Thomas Hale, January i, 1878, and continued by him until June, 1880, when it was removed to Keene, N. H. The Sun was established, also at the Junction, December g, 1881, by Royal Cummings. March 13, 1862, it was purchased by A. A. Earle, who converted it into The Landmark. The Landmark was estabUshed by A. A. Earle, March 13, 1882, who still publishes the same, a bright, readable sheet. Ludlow. — The Getdus of Liberty was the first paper published in Ludlow, sometime between 1840 and 1850, though we can obtain no knowledge of it except that it had a brief existence. The Blotter, a weekly, was established by R. S. Warner and W. A. Bacon,, the first number appearing September 14, 1854. November 6, 1856, we find the name of J. A. Pooler as associate editor, and during the following November the concern was sold out by the sheriff and bought in for Mr. Warner. He issued only one number, however, when the publication was suspended. The Voice Among the Mountains was commenced by R. S. Warner in January, i860. With the opening of Vol. H. the name of Wm. H. Walker appears as editor, Mr. Warner still being the publisher. April 18, 1862, Moses Burbank became associate editor, and in the September following Mr. Walker withdrew. With the beginning of Vol. IV. the paper lapsed mto a monthly, and died with the year. The Transcript was founded by D. E. Johnson, April 17, 1866, and was ended by his death, in October of the same year. The property was sold to Mr. Millikin of the Brattleboro Record, who made a vain attempt to continue the publication. The Black River Gazette was established December 19, 1866, by R. S. Warner and Moses Burbank. Mr Burbank died the following March, and Henry D. Foster succeeded him as editor. March 20, 1869, the names of Henry P. Ryder and Hortin H. Goddard appear as editors, and the follow- ing May Mr. Goddard became sole editor. September 17th, F. S. Briggs became editor, and January 14, 1870, he was followed by D. F. Cooledge who withdrew the following April. February jo, 187 i, S. B. Ryder's name appears as editor, and in June the firm became Warner & Ryder. July 11, 1873, William A. Bacon assumed editorial management, retaining it until January, 1874, when he retired, and, soon after, the concern was purchased by D. C. Hackett, who continued its publication here for a short time, then moved it to Brandon, changing the title to the Otter Creek News, where it died in 1882. The Vermont Tribune was established by the Molt Bros., November 24, 1876. During the following February they sold out to F. W. Bacon, and he 46 WINDSOR COUNTY. in turn, in September, 1877, sold to W. A. McArthur. In March, 1878, Rev. L. B. Hibbard, then located at Cavendish, assumed control of the "agri- cultural department," and in July, 1879, succeeded to the control of the paper. In April, 1881, Mr. Hibbard sold out to the present owner, E. G. AUis. Mr. AUis at once enlarged the paper, and again increased its size in October, 1882. Under his management the publication has enjoyed an un- usual season of prosperity, the subscription list having more than doubled since his succession. Norwich. — The Vermont Enquirer was established by Davis & Porter, in March, 1829, and died some time in 183 1. The Citizen Soldier^ a weekly military paper "devoted to the interests of the militia," was started in 1840, the first number appearing Wednesday, July 22d, of that year, with Major J. Swett, Jr., editor, J. Richards, printer, and Swett & Jackson, pubHshers. After February 19, 1841, the paper was pub- hshed at Windsor, the last number appearing July 30. of that year. Rochester. — The Patrons' Rural, monthly, published by the executive committee of the Vermont State Grange, A. Messer, editor, was established in July, 1882. It is a neat, eight-page paper, printed at the office of the Bel- lows Falls Times. RovALTON. — The l^ermont Advocate was established here at an early date, by Wyman & Spooner, who conUnued it here a compararively short time, then removed it to Chelsea. The Greenback Herald fi2A started at South Royalton in April, 1878, by E. D. Pratt. Only a few numbers were issued when the enterprise failed. T\\t South Royalton Gazette was started by Charles Culver, in 1880. It run about three months and failed. About six months later he attempted its revival, but without success. Springfield. — The Record of the Times was established by Coolidge & Sprague in the winter of 1833, and was continued about three years. The Springfield Telegraph was established by L. T. Guernsey, February II, 1853, and was continued about two years. The Record and Farmer was established by D. L. Millikin, November i, 1866, and continued by him until April, 1868, when it was sold to L. J. Mclndoe, of the Vermont Journal. The Enterprise, a monthly, was started by F. W. Sriles, January i, 1873, and continued one year. The Weekly News was commenced March i, 1873, by E. D. Wright who continued it about six months, then sold out to the Woodstock Post. The Springfield Bulletin was started by O. A. Libby, November 3 1875 and lived about eight months. The Springfield Reporter, " a journal devoted to the best interests of iti readers," was established by its present editor and proprietor F. W. Stiles January 4, 1878. The Reporter is a neat, well-edited, eight column, 26x40 inch paper, and deserves the success that it now enjoys — which is saying a great deal. WINDSOR COUNTY. 47 The Vermont JVews vras started November 14, 1879, by the Vermont News Co., and lived seven weeks. Windsor. — The Vermont Journal is the oldest paper in the county, the first established here and third established in the State. The first newspaper in the State was The Vermont Gazette or Green Mountain Post Boy, com- menced at Westminster, February 12. 1781, by Judah Paddock Spooner and Timothy Green, and was suspended in 1782, or early in 1783. The second was The Vermont Gazette or Freemetis Depository, at Bennington, by Anthony Haswell and David Russell, June 5, 1783, and was discontinued in October, 1850. Then comes the Windsor paper. The Vermont Journal and the Universal Advertiser, by George Hough and Alden Spooner, August 7, 1783. The partnership of Hough and Spooner continued to December 19 1788, the last issue under their names bearing the date December 22d; and December 29, 1788, the name of Alden Spooner appeared alone. March 20, 1792, the name was changed to Spooner' s Vennont Journal, 3.nd.]\m& 16, 1817, Spooner associated his nephew, Wyman Spooner, with him, who, August 10, 1818, became sole publisher, though it is probable that Alden owned or had some lien on the paper from 1818 to 1826, while Wyman conducted it. The name during Wyman's administration was simpl)' Vermont Journal, the last number appearing August 5, 1826. August 12th, following, Alden resumed charge of the publication, restoring the name of Spooner' s Vermont Journal. February 3, 1827, was Alden's last issue, and in it he announced that it would be in future conducted by Enos Folsom. Folsom dropped the word " Spoon- er's" from the title; and in 1828, Gen. Abner Forbes, administrator of Alden Spooner's estate, sold the establishment to Simeon Ide, who made a nominal transfer to his brother, Truman Ide, in whose name it was published till August I, 1829, when it was united with the Vermont Republican, under the name of the Vermont Republican and Journal January 5, 1835, the list and good-will of this paper were sold by Simeon Ide to Charles H. Smith, who published thereafter the Vermont Republican and Courier. June 3o, 1844, Windsor again had the Vermont Journal, with Charles F. Merrifield, pub- lisher. Merrifield was a son of Preston Merrifield, who married Clare, one of Alden Spooner's daughters. Since this resuscitation of the Journal it has been published by Merrifield, Thomas Hale, L. J. Mclndoe, and the pres- ent Journal Company. Such is a brief history of one of Vermont's oldest, and, Windsor county people believe, best journals. The Morning Ray was the second paper published here and the seventeenth in the State. As near as can be ascertained it was commenced by James Reed Hutchins, soon after October 25, 1791, who gave up the enterprise in the spring of 1792. The Windsor Federal Gazette, by Nahum Mower, was established March 3, 1 80 1, and was suspended, or was succeeded, in December, 1804, by the Post Boy and Vermont and New Hampshire Federal Courier, the first number of which Mower issued in the last named month, or ist of January, WINDSOR COUNTY. 48_ 1805. It was continued till the latter part of March, 1807, when Alden Spooner bought the concern and Mower went to Canada. The Vermont Republican, commenced by Oliver Farnsworth, who published it "for the proprietors," January i, 1809, its career, ending January 5, * 183s, has already been noticed in connection with the Journal. The Washingtonian was a Federal venture to match the Republican, the Democratic organ. It was printed by Thomas M. Pomeroy, who had two years before run the Vermont Courier, at Rutland, and its editor was Josiah ' Dunham, who had, July 22, 1793, established The Eagle or Dartmouth ll Centinel, at Hanover, N. H., a paper that lived some six years. The Washingtonian' s first issue was July 23, 18 10, and died about July 10, 18 13. The Vermont Chronicle was moved to Windsor, from Bellows Falls, where it was begun in 1826, in October, 1828. It was moved to Montpelier in 1875. Richards & Tracy ran the Chronicle, a.nA Joseph Tracy was succeeded by his brother, Eben C. Tracy. E. C. Tracy and Charles H. Severance published the paper from 1838 to 1842, when Severance sold out to Nelson Bishop. The Journal of Temperance, by Richards & Tracy, was published for a short time, issued once in two weeks, its first number appearing March 30, 1832. The Windsor Statesman, by Talford & Fletcher, was published from 1833 to 1840. The Spirit of Seventy-Six, by Darius Jones, was commenced in October, 183s, and discontinued in 1837. The Vermont Times, by Charles H. Severance, was published from June 1839, to May, 1841. The Scfiool Journal and Agriculturist ■^z.% began in 1847, and continued several years. Woodstock. — The Northern Memento, the first newspaper in Wood- stock, was established by Isaiah H. Carpenter, the first number appearing May 16, 1805, and was discontinued in February, 1806. Carpenter's print- ing office was in a wood building that is yet in good condition, fronting south near the east end of the park. The Woodstock Observer was started by David Watson, in January, 1820. In the earlier years of this paper political parties hardly existed ; but the Observer became National Republican upon the formation of that party during the administration of Adams, and so remained until the election of Jackson, in 1828, when it became Jacksonian. At the beginning of its fourth year, in January, 182,?, the sheet was enlarged and given the additional title of Windsor (Vid Orongi- County Gazette, and in January, 1827, it was again enlarged. In November, 1823, it passed into the hands of Rufus Col- ton, who continued to publish it until 1833. In 1827, 1828, and perhaps in other years, Benjamin F. Kendall was the acting editor, and in January, 1830, Colton announced that B. F. Fellows had taken the place ; but under the WINDSOR COUNTY. 49 masonic excitement of this time newspapers sprang into existence which crowded the Observer into the background, and in 1833 its publication was finally suspended. The Evangelical Monitor, by Rev. Walter Chapin, David Watson, printer, was commened April 14, 1821, and continued, published fortnightly, until the close of its second volume. The Gospel Banner, another religious fortnightly, was commenced by Rev. Jasper Hazen, August 4, 1827, with Rufus Colton, printer. It lived but one year. The Vermont Inquirer was begun by David Watson, in 1828. Only a few numbers were issued. The Universalist Watchman, a religious paper, was commenced in 1829. It was first edited by Rev. Samuel C. Loveland, and afterward by Rev. William Bell. It was removed to Montpelier and became the Christian Repository. The American Whig, by Hemenway & Sherwin, was established in the spring of 1830. It absorbed the Vermont Luminary, of Randolph, and another paper called Equal Rights, and first appea^red in March, under the title of American Whig, Vermont Luminary and Equal Rights, though the extra names were not long retained. Sherwin was soon succeeded by Hol- brook, who remained but a short time, after which Hemenway published the paper alone until he sold out to Henry L. Anthony, in 1835, who kept The Whig until it came to the end of its existence, in 1836. The Henry Clay and Advocate of the American System was begun Septem- ber 4, 1830, with B. F. Kendall, editor, and David VVatson, printer. After running a year the name was changed to Vermont Courier and Farmer's, Manufacturer^ s and Mechanic's Advocate. In 1834 the secondary title was dropped, and, a little later, the Windsor Republican having been united with it, the name was Republican and Courier, ui.til J. B. & S. L. Chase bought it in 1836, when it was again called the Vermont Courier, and so remained until finally discontinued in 1838. Following Watson, WiUiam W. Prescott and C. K. Smith and Mr. Kendall, under the firm name of C. K. Smith & Co., in turn were printers, though Kendall remained as editor until succeeded by the Chases. • Liberal Extracts, an infidel magazine published by a club known as the Infidel Club, was commenced in 1830, and run about a year. T. E. Pow- ers was editor. The Workingmaris Gazette, an agricultural paper, was started by William W. Prescott, in 1831. It was short lived. The Village Balance, a small anti-masonic campaign paper, was published during the summer of 1833, by Silas Eastabrook. The Constitution, another anti-masonic campaign sheet, Henry S. Hutchin- son, editor, was published a few weeks in 1836. The Hornet, in opposition to The Constitution, was also published during that season, with B. F. Kendall and T. E. Powers, editors. 4. JO WINDSOR COUNTY. The Vermont Mercury was started in 1837, by Nahum Haskell and Augus- tus Palmer, the first number being issued April 6th. In about ten years the name was changed to Woodstock Mercury, and in 1853 the paper was given the additional title of Windsor County Advertiser. The last number of the Mercury issued was at the close of its fourteenth yearly volume, March 8, 1855. It was always Whig in politics and was published throughout by Haskell & Palmer, and Mr. Haskell appeared as editor ; but as he gave much of his time to book binding and seUing, much of the editorial work came to be done by others, chief among whom were Norman WilHams and Thomas E. Powers. The Whig Advocate, a campaign paper, was pubhshed in 1842, with Charles P. Marsh, then a law student, as editor. The Spirit OF THE Age was started May 8, 1840, with Charles G. Eastman, editor and publisher. At the end of the third year its name was changed to Woodstock Agez-Vi^ so continued to November, 1845, when Eastman was suc- ceeded by A. E. Kimball and the old name resumed. Kimball was succeeded by E. M. Brown, in May, 1847, and he by William D. McMaster, who still con- ducts it. The Age was established as a Democratic paper and has always been such, except for a brief support of the Free Soilers when the old Demo- cratic party split on the slavery question. The Coon Hunter, a campaign edition of the Age, was issted by Eastman in 1844. The Temperance Herald vias started in 1845 and continued about four years, with M. P. Marsh as editor and publisher. The Vermont Standard. — In 1853 the sum of $500.00 was raised by subscription and the Vermont Temperance Standard was started, the first number being issued April 29th, with Thomas E. Powers, editor, and Lewis Pratt, Jr., publisher. In January, r85S, Rev. Guy C. Sampson succeeded Powers as editor, and the circulation running down as the temperance excite- ment subsided, in January, 1857, \Vilbur P. Davis and Luther O. Greene bought the paper, became editors and publishers, dropped the word " Tem- perance " from the title, and changed its character to that of a local news- paper. In August, i860, Mr. Davis retired from the concern, since which time Mr. Greene has published it alone. The Standard has been Repubhcan in politics. The Northern Farmer, an agricultural paper, was started by E. M. Brown and A. B. Crosby, in the spring of 1855. In a few months it was bought by W. Scott Abbott, who removed it to West Randolph, virhere it died in 1856. The Otta Quechee Post was started September 15, 187 i, with Robert A. Perkins, now of the Springfield, Mass., Republican, as editor and publisher. In August, 1872, the name was changed to Woodstock Post, and the last number was issued June 4, 1875. The Post was Independent Republican in politics, and supported Greeley in 1872. WINDSOR COUNTY. All of these papers, except as otherwise indicated, were published weekly, and present an array of journals and journalists of which Windsor county has just reason to be proud. ■ABORIGINAL OCCUPANCY. Of the aboriginal inhabitants of that part of Vermont which borders the banks of the Connecticut, very little is known. The Iroquois Indians, whose hunting-ground comprehended the whole of the western portion of the State, seldom extended their wanderings across the mountains, and have left but few vestiges of their presence, even in the places which were most frequented by them. The country in the neighborhood of Lunenburgh and Newbury, and on the side of the river opposite the latter place, was called by the In- dians "Coos," which word, in the Abenaqui language, is said to signify " The Pines." At these localities, and at other points on the upper Con- necticut, formerly resided a branch of the Abenaqui tribe. Numerous arrow iheads, spear points, and other Indian relics have been found in Windsor county, and in Windham and Orange counties are left several specimens of Indian hieroglyphics engraved upon the rocks, pointing to the probability of an extensive Indian population in the southeastern part of the State at some remote period. But the history of these dusky denizens and the tales of their savage wars and wild wooings must ever remain a secret. Like the origin of the redman, they are sealed in an oblivion that the pen of the his- torian can never break. WHEN FIRST SETTLED BY THE WHITES. Except a small colony estabhshed in Springfield, in 1753, no settlements were made in the county until after the close of the French war in 1760. The record of these settlements properly belongs to the sketch of the towns wherein they occurred, and to them we refer the reader, only mentioning at this point the settlement of Springfield. The record runs as follows : Before the commencement of the French war, and eight years previous to the date of the charter of the town, Daniel Sawtell, Jacob Sawtell, Oliver Sawtell, Combs House, Samuel Douglass, Oliver Farnsworth, Joseph Douglass, Noah Porter, Nathanial Powers, Simeon Powers, and Simeon Powers, Jr., " being poor and indigent, and unable to purchase lands in any of the inhabited towns of his Majesty's provinces," while the lands in said Springfield "lay in the open wil- derness, waste and untitled, without yielding any revenue to his Majesty, or profits to his subjects, did, for his Majesty's profit," as well as for the support of themselves, their wives, and their children, " enter upon, till and improve part of the lands in said Springfield." During the war they defended their possessions " at the peril of their own lives, and by the loss of the lives of some of their friends and neighbors," and were as a guard to those places located further down the river, which were exposed to the " rage of an 52 WINDSOR COUNTY. heathen and savage foe." After the reduction of Canada and the defeat of their " Popish enemies," they renewed their labors with greater energy and succeeded in establishing a " prosperous and attractive settlement." These settlers then made a futile effort to secure from Gov. Wentworth a patent of the lands which they had improved. Taking no notice of their petition, the Governor, on the 20th of August, 1761, gave a charter of the township to Gideon Lyman and sixty-one associates, the larger portion of whom were residents of Northampton, Mass., and its vicinity. Measures were taken to- secure the ejectment of the actual settlers, and judgments were secured against thera. Thus began the settlement of Windsor county, a miniature example of the trials and wrongs sustained by the settlers of Vermont itself. But the time had now come when the fears of hostile incursions ceased,, and settlers began to pour in, gradually at first, then more rapidly, so that in 177 1, Norwich had 206 inhabitants, Windsor 203, Hartford 190, Chester 152, Hartland (44, Springfield 141, Sharon sixty-eight, Woodstock forty-two, Pomfret thirty-nine and Weathersfield twenty, making a total population, in what is now Windsor county, of 1,205 souls. Simpson Stevens, who was one of the early unfortuate colonists of Springfield, was a remarkable man. He was born December 5, 1736; was taken prisoner by the Indians, on Lake George, in 1758, and remained in captivity at Oswego and Onondaga, N. Y., more than a year. On settling in Springfield he was made a justice of the peace, an office he held for more than fifty years. He was chosen first selectman at the organization of the town,- was town clerk sixteen years, and filled at different times nearly every local office within the gift of his townsmen. Twice, at least, he was a member of the committee of safety, was a deputy to the provincial congress of the State of New York, in 1776, was a member of the general assembly of Vermont in 1783, and again in 1794 ; was commissioned a captain by Sir Henry Moore, in 1766, was made brigade-major in the Revolutionary war, of the brigade of militia raised in Cumberland and Gloucester counties, and was heutenant- colonel under the governor of the State. He died February 18. 181 7. LAND TITLE CONTROVERSY. The settlements made in the State previous to the year 1741, weresupposed to be within the jurisdiction of Massacliusetts ; but during that year it was ascertained that they were north of its northern line and within the supposed jurisdiction of New Hampshire. This idea met with no Opposition until 1763, when the population of the New Hampshire Grants had become quite large. But during that year New York laid claim to the territory, by virtue of a grant made by Charles II. to the Duke of York, in 1664, which included " all the land from the west side of Connecticut river to the east side of Delaware Bay." Upon application of the government of New York it was decided by George III., in council of July 20, 1764, that the western bank of the Connecticut river should thereafter be regarded as the boundary line WINDSOR COUNTY. 53 fcetween that State and New Hampshire. The colonists were surprised and -displeased at this decision, but peaceably submitted to it, supposing that it merely effected a change of the jurisdiction to which they were subject; and the government of New Hampshire, which at first remonstrated, soon ac- -quiesced in the decision. But on the loth of April, 1765, Lieutenant-Gov. Golden, of New York, issued a proclamation, giving a copy of the order of !the king, changing the boundary of the territory, and notifying "his Majesty's subjects to govern themselves accordingly." He also at once proceeded to ^ant the lands to others than the New Hampshire claimants, and when the latter applied to the New York government for a confirmation of the grants they already held, such enormous patent fees were demanded as to make it impossible for them to comply. It was well known in New York that these lands had long been granted by New Hampshire, that they were actually occupied under such grants, and that the new patents were procured in utter disregard of the rights and claims of the settlers. It was also well known by them that the king, in commis- sioning Benning Wentworth governor of New Hampshire, had described his province as reaching westward " until it met his other governments" thus bounding it westerly by New York ; and that the eastern boundary of New York was a line twenty miles easterly from the Hudson river, extending from Lake Champlain south to the western line of Massachusetts, was proved by the charter of the Duke of York, upon his accession to the throne of England, in 1685. But notwithstanding all this. New York insisted that not only was the jurisdiction changed thenceforward, but also that the grants made were vacated, and that the titles acquired under them were made void. The settlers were required to re-purchase their lands, which some of them did, though the great majority of them peremptorily refused. The lands of such were granted to •others, who brought actions of ejectment in the New York courts, where they invariably obtained judgment against the original proprietors. It was found, however, that it was easier to obtain judgments than it was to enforce them. The officers also attempted to serve the writs of possession were forcibly resisted and sometimes very roughly handled. This strife brought out peculiar talents on the part of the Green Mountain Boys, as they became 'known, bringing to the surface such champions as Ethan Allen, Seth Warner, Remember Baker, and others whose names now are as familiar as household words. And thus it happens that many of the towns of Windsor county have two charters, one from New York and one from New Hamphsire, while others can show only the charter from New York, with its great seal. The courts of justice that New York attempted to •establish at Chester were ignored by most of the settlers of the county, who spirited away their officers, etc., all of which is spoken of in another place. The quarrel continued for full a quarter of a century. In 1769 the king prohibited the governor of New York from issuing any more grants "until his Majesty's further pleasure should be made known." Meanwhile civil dis- 54 WINDSOR COUNTY. turbances and open defiance to the New York authorities continued to such an extent that, in 1774, a law was passed by that province ordering the sur- render of all oiTenders under the penalty of death. In reply, the people of the grants returned a public letter, threatening death to any who should aid in arresting any of her citizens. About this time a plan was made for the for- mation of a royal province, but the Revolutionary war soon joined the two provinces in a common cause, so that their personal quarrel gradually raged less furiously. In 1789 New York acknowledged the independence of Ver- mont, and endeavored to adjust all matters of dispute, having previously made grants to those who had suffered by adhering to her allegiance, while Vermont in turn paid into the treasury of New York thirty thousand dollars. One complication arising from this land title question, was the annexation of several New Hamphsire towns to Vermont, as follows : On the 12th of March, 1778, a petition was presented to the Vermont legislature by a number of the towns in New Hampshire, praying that they might be allowed to become a part of the former State, and subject to its jurisdiction. The application having been entertained in the Assembly for bcveral days, was finally submitted to the people. When the discussion of the subject was renewed, on the nth of June, at the summer session of the legislature, thirty-five of the representatives, expressing the views of the towns to which they belonged, declared in favor of the union, and twelve against it. Sixteeo towns were accordingly added to the territory of \ermont, — Cornish, Lebanon, Dresden, (a name given to the district belonging to Dartmouth College, but used only a short time,) Lyme, Orford, Piermont, Haver- hill, Bath, Lyman, Athrop (now divided into Littleton and Dalton), Enfield, Canaan, Cardigan (now Orange), Landoff, Gunthwait (now Lisbon), and Morristown (now Franconia). Although no act was passed to that effect, they were regarded as a part of Cumberland county, and were so referred to whenever it became necessary to legislate concerning them. Great dissatisfaction, however, prevailed on both sides of the Connecticut relative to this annexation. In vain were all the efforts of the legislature to restore peace. The experiment of annexation, hazardous in the beginning, soon began to assume an aspect threatening the very founda- tion of the new State. In this crisis, the general assembly, on the 23d of October, 1778, resolved to lay the subject before their constituents and request them to instruct their representatives how to proceed in relation to this unfortunate connection at the next session of the legislature. The im- policy, as well as the injustice "of aiding in the dismemberment of New Hampshire," was too ajiparent to the friends and supporters of Vermont, to admit of a doubt of the course proper to be pursued. On the 1 2th of Feb- ruary, 1779, the instructions of the representatives on this point were can- vassed at the winter session of the legislature, and in conformity with these instructions, the union was declared "totally void, null and extinct." WINDSOR COUNTY. 55 REVOLUTIOxNARY WAR. With Vermont the Revolutionary cotAest possessed a double interest, for while she lent her aid to redress national grievances, she also maintained a contest on her own account, resolving to secure her independence from New York. The part taken by the famous Green Mountain Boys is almost too well known to need especial mention. Yet, while it is always conceded that they were brave and resolute, it is added that they were untrained, and surprise is often manifested that they showed such remarkable fighting qualities ; a little reflection, however, will show that they were not without training in arms and particularly in the art of Indian fighting. The fertility of the Vermont soil, of which the most extravagant stories used to be told, was first made known in the older States by the soldiers who crossed the territory in the French and Indian war. Upon the conquest of Canada, these men, largely young and unmarried, would naturally be the first to go to the new country, as it was called, and such in fact was the case, to a degree, so that the settlements had at the outset a considerable sprinkling of trained soldiers. And further, it should be remembered that nearly all the settlers were inured to hardship and danger, and expert in woodcraft and the use of firearms, so that a mihtia company, such as was formed in Cumberland and Gloucester counties in 1775, was a fighting force which could hardly be excelled for a rough country, and was even able to appear to advantage in an open field of battle. Thestrongcurrentof emigration which after the conquest of Canada, in 1760, ran to the north from the older New England States, had, at the opening of the Revolution, effected the settlement of a great part of southern Vermont, progress of course being made most rapidly along the natural highways of the country, the rivers and lakes. In 1 7 7 1 , at the taking of the census of Cumberland county, the towns now comprised within the limits of Windsor county, had an ag- gregate population of 1,205 souls, and in 1776 there is estimated to have been 900 men capable of bearing arms, in the eastern part of the State. In 1 775 the Green Mountain Boys captured the military posts on Lake Champlain, and the advance of the American army into Canada which followed afforded a protection to Vermont settlements which many persons, particularly in the western part of the State, were not slow in taking advantage of; but as the enemy in turn regained possession of the lake the year following, the settlers were left entirely without protection, and in that condition, mainly, they re- mained until the close of the war. The more exposed points in the region of the lake were abandoned in 1776, until there were very few settlements north of the present hne of Bennington county ; but there were no demonstrations then made upon Vermont soil, and tfiis vicinity, as did also most other parts of the State, remained undisturbed. In 1777 came the stirring and important events of the war about Bennington, but still the settlers at this distant loca- tion continued their work about their new forest homes without interference. 56 WINDSOR COUNTY. In 1779 General Hazen, with a part of a regiment of men, was employed in cutting a road from Peacham northerly, professedly to facilitate the moving of an army into Canada, but really, it is supposed, as a feint to prevent the enemy from proceeding in force up Lake Champlain ; but there was no important move made on either side, and the year 1780 found the little State entirely unprotected from the common enemy at the north, and engaged in a bitter contest with New York. It was during this year that occurred the memorable raid upon and burning of Royalton, and the slight attack upon Barnard, mentioned in detail in connection with the sketches of these respec- tive towns. This year was full of apprehensions and alarms throughout the settlements. In October previous, the general assembly had elected a Board of War of nine persons which, April 8, 1780, issued an order looking to the better protection of Cumberland county, wherein it was recited that, " Whereas, the present war with Great Britain is likely to be continued at least this campaign, and that the Contmental troops will be continued to the south of this, by means of which there will be no movement to divert the enemy in Canada, it therefore becomes the indispensible duty of this State to make the best preparations in their power for the defense of the frontiers." And we find the board busy throughout the year in its legitimate work, chiefly that of preparing defenses along the frontier line above indicated. No important events transpired in Windsor county from this time until the close of the war, and the names of the Revolutionary sodiers, and the part each town took in the common cause we have mentioned, so far as known to us, in their respective sketches. Suffice it to say at this point, then, that the people of the "Grants" entertained a feeling of deadly hatred against King George and the British parliament, rendering the Green Mountain Boys formidable foes. The surrender of Cornwallis, at Yorktown, October 17, 1781, virtually put an end to all these troubles, and the Green Mountain Boys were soon again, except for their family trouble with New York, enjoying the privileges of peace. WAR OF 181 2. For nearly thirty years this intervale of peace was enjoyed, during which time the troubles between New York and Vermont were amicably adjusted, and one more star added to the proud flag of the Union. But still England, notwithstanding the lesson she had received and all the years that had inter- vened, seemed not to appreciate the fact that her American colony had grown to an indeptnilcnt nation; and though in March, 1782, Burke and Fox had raised thtir voices in the British parliament and the house of commons had formally declared that it " would consider as public enemies all those who should advise a further prosecution of the war with America," England still persisted in acts of tyranny until they became unendurable. Accord- ingly, on the 1 8th of June, 1812, an act was passed in our house of repre- sentatives by a vote of seventy-nine to forty-nine, and in the senate by a WINDSOR COUNTY. 57 majority of nineteen to thirteen, declaring war against Great Britain. The message of the president contained these as the principal reasons : " The impressment of American seamen by the British, the blockade of her enemies' ports, in consequence of which American commerce had been plundered in every sea, etc." Vermont, thinking that the difficulties of the times required its sentiments to be known among the other States, adopted the following resolution: " We therefore pledge ourselves to each other and to our government, that with our individual exertions, our example and influence, we will support our government and county in the present contest, and rely on the great Arbiter of events for a favorable result." This resolution Windsor county sustained to the letter ; many of her old Revolutionary heroes again went to the front in support of the common cause. The preparation for the battle of Platts- burgh, N. Y., etc., and, indeed, all the events of the war are too well known to require repeating here. The record of some of the heroes who partici- pated in the battles will be found recorded in connection with the history of the towns wherein they resided. So, suffice it to say, two years the storm raged, being quelled in 1815, when the victorious soldiers again returned to their quiet avocations. THE WAR OF THE UNION. After the war of 181 2, grim War sullenly retired to his cave, and sweet Peace smiled upon the green hills and fertile valleys of Vermont. Under her brooding wing youths and maidens grew to the meridian of life, passed the line, and as gray-haired grandparents trotted a new generation upon their knees, rehearsing to them the tales they loved best to hear, of the brave deeds of Allen, Stark and McDonough. Silver threads of the " iron horse's " pathway had taken the place of the blazed-tree path through the forests, where fields of waving grain now denoted the nation's prosperity. April 12th, 186 1, however, ruthlessly dispelled this dream of happiness and contentment. The first shot upon Sumter had been fired, and War was again released from •his bondage. It was then shown what fruit the martial tales and traditions of the old veterans produced. Vermont sent to the field, in distinct military organiza- tions, seventeen regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, three batteries of artillery, and three companies of sharpshooters, aggregating 28,867 men, 760 of whom held commissions, ranging from second-lieutenant to major- .general. Of those who enlisted as privates, but one man, Sumner H. Lincoln, of Hartford, became full colonel in the same regiment in which he enlisted. To 28,967, add 1,339 men, who served in the navy, and we have an aggregate number, on land and water, of 30,306 men. To this number add 1,961 veterans who re-enlisted, and we have 32,267 individual enhst- ments; now add 1,971 who were drafted but paid commutation, $300 each, and we have 34,238 men " furnished under all calls," by a State having, in jg WINDSOR COUNTY. i860, an aggregate population of 315,098, irrespective of age, sex, nativity, color or condition,— a little over one to nine of the entire number. Of the 28,967 men who served in the organizations above mentioned, 1,671 enlisted men were killed in battle, or died of wounds received in battle, and 101 commissioned officers shared the same fate; 2,616 enlisted men and twenty-nine officers died of disease, 626 enlisted men and three officers died in rebel prisons, seventy-five enlisted men and three officers were killed by accident, and four (we blush to say) were shot by sentence of court martial, for double desertion, making a total death loss of 5,128 men. There were 3,865 enlisted men and sixty-one officers discharged for disability; 596 enlisted men and forty-four officers for wounds received; and one hundred enlisted men and twenty-eight commissioned officers were dishonor- ably discharged. The whole number wounded in action was 4,360. By the authority of careful statisticans, we are allowed to say for Vermont that but one other State furnished a larger share of her population, and but one other sacrificed a greater per cent, of her troops to wipe the stain from our insulted flag. Windsor county did her full share, and was not a whit behind her thirteen sister counties. In i860 she had a population of 37,193, and furnished 3,716 soldiers, being nearly ten percent, of her inhabitants. Not one of her twenty- four towns was lacking under all calls, and thirteen of the twenty-four fur- nished an excess of their quota, an excess amounting in all to sixty men, of whom Hartland furnished one-fifth. These men were scattered through the several regiments, forming companies about as follows : Forthe 1st regiment Co. B, in which Hon. Selden Conner, ex governor of Maine, was a private, and a good share of Co. E; 2dregiment, asmall part of Co. E; 3d regiment, Go's A and F ; 4th regiment, most of Co. B, nearly all of Co's C and E, and two-fifths of Co. K; 6th regiment, most of Co's B, and C; 7th regiment, one-half of Co. G, and a portion of Co. H ; 9th regiment, most of Co. D ; I oth regiment, most of Co. H; nth regiment, most of Co. H; 12th regi- ment, Co's A and B; 16th regiment, nearly all of Co's A, E, G, H, and K; cavalry, surgeon of Co. E. ; and of the artillery and sharp-shooters, about ten per cent. The officers were distributed much as the enlisted men were, when they first took the field, as the men then had the choice of the officers of the line, while the field and staff officers of each regiment were selected by the governor, before the regiment was organized, while in the field all promo- tions were, or were supposed to be, the result of the concurrence of a majority of the field officers of the regiment wherein vacancies were to be filled. Windsor county, while claiming no especial merit where all were alike worthy, takes the laurel wreath from her sister counties in the matter of pro- motions while in the field. From 1861 to 1865, inclusive, she had in com- missioned officers of the field, five colonels, twelve lieutenant-colonels, and fifteen majors; of the staff, five adjutants, three surgeons, two assistant sur- geons, four quartermasters and four chaplains ; of the line, fifty-three cap- WINDSOR COUNTY. 59 tains, sixty-five first lieutenants and eighty-five second lieutenants, making in all forty-five of the field and staff, and 203 of the line. In this reckoning none are counted who did not attain to the positions. The regiments mentioned, partly made of Windsor county men, took part in over 220 engagements, while the battle losses, and losses by disease, were about as they were in the other counties, in each and all a large num- ber to spare, yet cheerfully and without regret given up to save " the Union we love and the flag we adore." Surely the lessons taught by the Green Mountain Boys of 1776 were not forgotton by their descendants of 1861. The following complete roster of men who went from Windsor county as commissioned officers^ and of those, who, enlisting in the ranks, were subse- quently promoted to a commission, is compiled from adjutant and inspector- general's report of i866, and from other sources. For the sake of conven- ience the names are arranged in alphabetical order, the dates referring to com- missions, the date of muster being omitted : — TERMS OF ENLISTMENTS.

It may be well to state that the War Department accredited to this State 5,242 men ; being one thousand and four more than are shown by the State records, and gives the State credit over the aggregate quota under all calls, o{ fifteen hundred and thirtee?i men. " This discrepancy may be, and probably is, to be accounted for," says Adjutant-General P. T. Washburn, " by enlist- ments in organizations of other States, to the credit of this State, which appear upon muster rolls of these organizations and were not reported to the State. GAZETTEER QF TOWNS. ANDOVER is an irregularly outlined township of about 18,000 acres, lying in the southwestern part of the county, in north lat. 42° 17' and long. 3^ 43' east from Washington,* bounded north by Ludlow, east by Chester, south by Londonderry and Windham, in Windham county, and west by Weston. The latter town was formerly included within the limits of Andover, from which it was separated by an act passed October 26, 1799. Andover owes its existence to the following circumstances: — On the 29lh of December, 1760, soon after the conquest of Canada had been completed, a number of the inhabitants of Lebanon and other towns in Connecticut decided to petition the governor of New Hampshire for a grant of land on the west bank of Connecticut river. Having assembled on the i2th of June, 1761, and obtained the names of those who wished to engage in the project, they chose a clerk, and a committee to regulate their mode of procedure. At a meeting held on the 7th of September following, they selected two men " to repair to that part of the country," in which they wished to obtain a grant of land, and instructed them, in case they should find a siutation which they deemed acceptable, to make their wishes known to Governor Wentworth. A location having been selected, a charter was issued by New Hampshire, on the 13th of October, granting the township of Andover to Nathaniel House and his associates. As most of the towns granted by New Hampshire were chartered with the same reservations and restrictions, we herewith give a form of the document, which we shall omit in subsequent towns : — GEORGE the third.

Out of which an allowance is to be made for highways and unimprovable Lands, by Rocks, Ponds, Mountains and Rivers. One Thousand and Forty acres free, according to a plan and survey thereof, made by our said Governor's order, and returned into the Secretary's Office and hereunto annexed, butted and bounded as follows, viz :— ****** And the Inhabitants that do or hereby shall Inhabit the said Township are hereby to be en- franchised with and entitled to all and every the privileges and Immunities that other towns within Our Province by Law Exercise and Enjoy : And further, that the said Town as soon as there shall be fifty families resident and settled thereon shall have the liberty of Holding Two Fairs, one which shall be held on the ar.d the other on the annually, which fairs are not to continue longer than the respective following the said and that as soon as the said Town shall consist of fifty families a Market may be opened and kept, one or more days in each Week, as may be thought most advantageous to the inhabitants.

B. VVentworth. By his EXCELLENCY'S Command'^ with Advice of Council. J- Theodore Atkinson, Sect'y. ) The charter has also this endorsement, together with a list of the grantees : — " His Excellency, Benning Wentworth, Esq. A Tract of Land to contain Five Hundred Acres, marked B. W. on the Plan, which is to be accounted two of the within shares. One whole share for the incorporated Society, for the propagation of the Gospel in Foreign parts. One share in the Glebe for the Church of England, as by law established. One share for the first settled Minister of the Gospel, and one share for the benefit of Schools in said Town. Province of New Hampshire, November 3d, 1761. Theodore Atkinson, Sect'y.'' In accordance with the conditions of the charter, a meeting of the grantees was convened at Lebanon on the 4th of November following, and a clerk for the town and proprietors was chosen, " who was sworn to a faithful discharge of his duty." On the loth of March, 1862, another meeting was held in the same place at the house of Joseph Clark, one of the grantees, and officers were chosen for the ensuing year. A committee was also selected to survey the town, and on the 25th of August a resolution was passed, instructing them to proceed with the business which had been assigned them. This they were able to perform only in part, "by reason of bad weather ;" but being instructed on the i8th of March, 1763, to complete the survey, they renewed their undertaking, and three hundred acres were laid out for each of the pro- prietors, "on the east side of the town, by carefully marking the trees at the corners." These lots were distributed on the izst of November, by an indif- TOWN OF ANDOVEE. 75 ferent person appointed by the proprietors, and an account was taken of the result. At the next regular proprietors' meeting, held on the 13th of March, 1764, officers were chosen for the year ensuing; " accounts were adjusted, and each person's demands carefully and justly allowed for services done." On the 5th of November a resolution was passed by which an offer of fifty acres of land was made to each proprietor who should settle in the town dur- ing the spring of the year 1765. Pending this offer another meeting was held on the 1 2th of March, 1765, and a committee was chosen to mark out and clear a road to the town. Measures were accordingly taken to carry this proposition into execution, and a party of twenty persons had already made preparations to remove into the new township, when the publication of his Majesty's order in council, on the 20th of July, 1764, declaring the western bank of Connecticut river to be the eastern boundary of New York, caused them to abandon the project. Judging it prudent " to consider what might further be needful to be done to maintain good order and submission " in their changed circumstances, the proprietors met on the 39th of April, 1765. After some discussion they de- cided to acquaint the governor of New York with the state of their circum- stances, and ask for his " approbation and protection." In the memorial which they sent to Lieut.-Gov. Golden, dated at I^ebanon, Conn., May 6, 1765, in addition to the facts which have already been detailed, they stated that they had expended in improvements more than $462.00, that they had "vendued and sold" several of the rights of negligent proprietors, and had inserted the names of new proprietors in the place of some of those whose names were to be found in the original charter from New Hampshire. " There- fore,'' they said, " if it be consistent with your pleasure to encourage us, his Majesty's Liege subjects, in the settlement of so wilderness a land as that is, and grant us also your Protection, as there are many more under the like cir- cumstances, it may much enlarge the Province, and his Majesty's English settlements." "And we cannot but Rejoice,'' they continued, '"when we so fully persuade ourselves that your Excellency's highest ambition is to strengthen and enlarge all our late acquisitions by Regular and Industrious Inhabitants ; and when once you shall please to make your Pleasure known to us, we shall with all Readiness Comply therewith j and if it be your Pleasure to ratify to us those Lands we once supposed stood fair for us to settle, we shall un- undoubtedly soon (as some other Towns have Done) Make considerable Improvements thereon. But, notwithstanding our earnest wishes, we do Heartily and Freely submit the same to your Wisdom and Prudence." For a long time this petition remained unnoticed, and although the Council of New York, on the 15th of June, 1772, recommended the issuing of a con- firmatory grant of this and several other townships, whenever " his Majesty's Instructions " should allow of such a course, yet the patent was never con- ferred, and the lands of Andover have always been held under the New Hampshire charter. 76 TOWN OF ANDOVER. The surface of the township is very uneven, while the soil and timber does not materially differ from that of the other towns lying along the eastern side of the Green Mountains. Before the division of the town there extended through its center, from north to south, a ridge of rugged highlands, formed by two mountains, Terrible and Markham. This ridge caused the division of the township into Weston and Andover, and now forms the dividing line be- tween them, causing communication between the two towns to be exceedingly difficult. The territory is abundantly watered by numerous brooks, though there are no streams of importance, the head waters of Williams river, in the southern part of the town, being the principal water course. The rocks entering into the geological structure of the town are principally of the talcose schist and gneiss formations, the former underlying the eastern and the latter the western portion of the territory. Two small beds of saccharoid azoic limestone are found, one in the northern and one in the southern part. A bed of steatite also exists in the eastei n part of the town. Traces of gold have been discovered in the eastern part of the territory, other than which no minerals are known to have been found. In 1880, Andover had a population of 564, and in 1882 was divided into eight school districts and contained seven common schools, employing two male and eleven female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $684.90. There were 133 pupils attending common schools, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $739.76, with H. J. Parker, superintendent. Andover (p. o.), locally known as Peaseville, is a hamlet located in the eastern part of the town, on the north branch of Williams river. It contains a church (Baptist), the lumber mills of A. & W. A. Feltt, and about half a dozen dwellings. SiMONSviLLE (p. 0.) is a hamlet located in the southern part of the town, on the south branch of Williams river. It has a hotel, store, and five or six dwellings. The first settlement of Andover was made in 1768, when Shubael Geer and Amos Babcock moved into the town with their families. They staid but a short time, however, after which no attempt at settlement was made until after the commencement of the Revolution. During Mr. Geer's short residence here he had a son born to him who was named William, the first birth in the town. In June, 1776, Moses Warner, John Simons, John Simons, Jr., Eli Pease, Jacob Pease, and James Keyes, from Enfield, Conn., came on and made the first permanent settlement. Immigration was not rapid, however, until after the close of the war; but in 1800 the town had 622 inhabitants, more than it has to-day. Mr. Warner became the leading spirit in public affairs, and one of the most prominent men of the town. He was born in Hartford county, Conn., December 25, 1748 (old style), and married Abigail Markham, of Enfield, Conn., November 30, 2769, by whom he reared a family of nine children. TOWN OF ANDOVER. yy In 1779, he was chosen proprietor's clerk, and town clerk in 1780, holding the latter position, with the exception of two years, until 1809. He also held the offices of selectman, town treasurer, justice of the peace, and repre- sented his townsmen in the legislature of 1792, '93, '95, '96, 1800 and i8ro. The men who figured most promin;ntly in public afifairs during Mr. Warner's time seem to have been Frederick Rogers, John Simons, John Simons, Jr., Eli Pease, Samuel Burton, Samuel Brown, Thomas Adams and perhaps some others. The town was organized in March, 1780, when Moses Warner was chosen clerk ; Frederick Rogers, constable ; and James Keyes, Frederick Rogers and John Simons, selectmen. The first justices of the peace were John Simons and Moses Warner, in 1781. John Simons was the first representative, in 1781. The first road in the town was laid out in 1780, pissing from Chester line to Landgrove, on an average of about one hundred rods north of the present traveled road, striking Andover on a farm owned by a Mr. Kendall. The next road was not laid out until April 29, 1795. The first religious society organized was the Baptist, in 1803, with Samuel Manning deacon. In 1806 Joel Manning was ordained its pastor, a position he continued to hold for a long ter[U of years. The first school taught was in a dwelHng that stood on what is now known as the Abbott lot. The first school-house is believed to have been built on Howard hill, although one was built on East hill about the same time. The first church was built on East hill, by the Baptist society. It had no stoves nor other facilities for warming, yet it is claimed the people seldom failed to attend church, and in the coldest weather would sit patiently through the long service, though chilled with the cold. The first frame house was built by Moses Warner ; the first grist-mill by John Simons, on West river ; the next grist-mill was built by Stephen Dudley, on the South Branch ; the first saw-mill was built by Moses Rowell, on a brook near the center of the town ; Rowell was also the first black- smith ; the first cloth dressing and fuUing mill was built by Ebenezer Cum- mings ; the first tannery by Ebenezer Farnsworth ; the first store was kept by Jacob Sheldon, on the farm now occupied by Orrin Hutchins ; the first tavern was kept by Frederick Rogers ; the first physician was Chauncey Chandler; Hart Balch was the first shoemaker, Abner Felt the first mail-carrier, and the first postmasters were Samuel Nichols, at Andover, and Edward L. Simons at Simonsville. Samuel Pettingill, one of the early settlers of the town, was born at Andover, Mass., about 1760, and settled here in 1790. He died in 1843, leaving a family of seven children, two having died a few years previous. Only one of the children, Benjamin, is now living, though numerous descend- ants reside in Andover and vicinity. Benjamin Baldwin was born here in 1793, married Martha Manning, in 1819, and reared three children, two of whom, Maria and Fernando C, now occupy the old homestead. Their mother was a sister of Rev. Joel Man- ning, the first settled Baptist minister in the town. 78 TOWN OF ANDOVER. Joshua Jaquith came to Andover about 1787, and located upon the farm now occupied by his grandson, Alden Jaquith. Alden is the son of Joshua, Jr., who was born here in 1794. He has held most of the town offices, and is now a justice of the peace. Simon Heald, from New Hampshire, came to Andover at an early date, making the first settlement upon the farm now owned by his grandson, James H. Heald. Reuben Heald, father of James H., was born on the old home- stead in 1806, married Catherine O'Connor, and reared two children, Sarah E. and James H. The latter married Betsy J. Hesselton, daughter of one of the early settlers, and has no children living. He has held the office of selectman, etc., several years. (RESIDENCE OF PLATTT. MARSH, ANDOVER.) Among the pleasant rural residences of Andover, is that of Piatt T. Marsh, on road 32, represented in the above engraving. Mr. Marsh is one of the prominent farmers and fruit-growers of the town.

Many sons and daughters of the good little town of Andover have left their mark in the world, among which may be mentioned Alvin Adams, the founder of Adam's Express Co., and William S. Balch, the eminent Univer- salist minister. Others also deserve notice, but space forbids ; we will say,, however, that the town has had no less than six native coUegiates, seven native clergymen, six native lawyers and is the mother of about a dozen phy- sicians. A fair showing for a district of its size. It is not probable that the town took any part in the war of the Revolution, for during that period it had but few settlers, and they had a hard struggle to live and support their families. Quite a number of Revolutionary soldiers settled here after the war, however, viz.: Solomon Howard, David Hazeltine, Jonas Adams, Levi Adams, Han Balch, Andrew Bradford, Samson Walker, William Knight, Peter Adams, Peter Putnam, Jonathan Cram, Joseph Stickney, Joseph Abbott, Ebenezer Farnsworth, Benjamin Pierce, David Burton, David Keyes and Luther Adams. When the call for volunteers came in the war of 1812, the town voted to pay its soldiers $5.00 each at the start, for pocket money, and to raise their wages to $10.00 per month. The following are the names of those who enlisted : Sylvanus L. Marsh, Adolphus Howard, Cyrus Bailey, Andrew Brad- ford, Joseph Cram, John Abbott, Joel .Abbott, Jerry Adams, Joseph Howard^ Morris Howard, Antipas Howard, Joseph BuUard, James Burton, David Bradford, Samuel Dutton, John Tyrell, Hart Balch, Caleb Cram, Ebenezer Farnsworth, William Kimb.all, Ira Hale, Sybrian C. Taylor, William Feitt, Saniuel Pettingill and James Pettingill. Then, too, when the war cloud of 1801-04 cast its shadow over the town, Andover showed the good, old patri- (jtic blood these men had bequeathed their descendants. Not a whit behind her fellow towns in finances, patriotism and excellent soldiers, the good town rejoices in a work well done. BALTIMORE is a small, triangular shaped town of about 3,000 acres, located in the southern part of the county, in lat. 43' 21' and long. 4° 35', bounded northwest by Cavendish, east by Weathersfield, and south by Chester. When Cavendish became settled it was found that Hawks Mountain, a rugged highland extending in a diagonal direction across the southeastern corner of the town, rendered communication between the settlements on opposite sides of the elevation quite difficult, so much so, indeed, that the settlers in the corner thus cut off objected to travehng to the center of the town to vote and attend to public business, and so peti- tioned the legislature for the privilege of establishing themselves in the terri- tory as an independent township. This petition was looked upon with favor by the legislature, who passed an act October 19, 1793, establishing the town of Baltimore, Hawks Mountain forming the dividing line between it and TOWN OF BALTIMORE. Cavendish. It was not organized, however until March 12, 1794, when Joseph Atherton was chosen town clerk, Samuel Davis, constable, and Waldo Cheney, Jonathan Woodbury and Joseph Atherton, selectmen. The first justice was Isakc Chamberlain, elected in 1794. The first representa- tive was Benjamin Page, in 1824, since which time the town has seldom been represented in the legislature, thus saving a large amount of tax'es. The surface of the territory is not broken by any prominent elevation, except the one mentioned, while the soil, which is warm, though quite stony, renders fair crops of grass and grain. Numerous springs and brooks abound, though there are no streams of importance and no mill-seats. The rock are mostly gneiss formation. In the southeastern part there is a small amount of mua schist, and in the extreme northern part a bed of steatite. Joseph Atherton, one of the first settlers, located on road 2, upon the farna now owned by E. C. Sherwin. His son, Barney, was killed by lightning in 1 8 10, while standing in the door of his father's house. Noah Piper and Col. Joshua Martin were also early settlers. Emigration to the town seems to have been quite popular for a time, for in 1791 the census returns show it to have had a population of 275. Since then, however, each decade shows a diminution in the number of inhabitants, until the town now boasts a population of only seventy-one souls. It has no settlement worthy of the title of village, no postoffice, no church, and no schools, the people being obliged to step over the lines of their narrow territory, into the towns south and east, for such conveniences. Benjamin Litch came to Baltimore from Lunenburgh, Mass., about 1800, and resided here until his death, February 22, 1832. Mrs. Litch died about 1850. Their son Lyman, born here May 6, 1803, is now the oldest resident in the town. ' He married Prudence ChapUn, and has reared a family of four daughters, all but one of whom are living. Lyman represented the town in the legislature of 1837, and has also held most of the other town offices. Amasa Gregory came here from Roylston, Mass., in 1809, and located upon the farm now owned by Orville Fullum, where he resided until his death, December 4, 1849. Three of his eight children are now living, one, Mrs. Zenas Graves, in this town. Luther Graves came to Baltimore in 1815, and located upon the farm now owned by his son, Zenas H., where he died February 28, 1861, aged eighty years. Zenas is the only child of Luther now living. He represented the town in the legislature of 1858-59. Fox Sherwin came here in 1841, from Weathersfield. His son, Erwin C, born on the farm he now occupies in 1841, represented the town in i878-'79. 82 TOWN OF BARNARD. BARNARD lies in the northwestern part of the county, in lat. 43° 44' and long. ^° 24, bounded north by Royalton, east by Pomfret, south by Bridgewater, and west by Stockbridge. It contains an area of 23,040 acres, and was granted to William Story and his associates in rather a peculiar manner, the circumstances being mainly as follows : — Previous to the year 1713 the general court of the province of Massa- chusetts granted several large tracks of land, which were supposed to lie with- in the provincial limits. Upon this presumption these tracts were taken up and surveyed by the guarantees, and many of them had already become the centers of permanent and flourishing settlements. P.it on determinmg the boundaries between this province and the coioiiy of Connecticut, in 17 13, 107,793 acres of the land thus granted was found to be without the true limits of the province. Massachusetts then, wishing to retain all the territory which she had hitherto supposed her own, entered into an agreement with her sister colony, in accordance with which it was detei mined " that the said colony of Connecticut should have 107,793 acres as an equivalent to the said colony for lands allowed and granted to belong to the said province, that fall to the southward of the line lately run between the said province and colony.' The colony of Connecticut having received all the land to which she was entitled, caused to be sold in Hartford, at public vendue, on the 24th and 25th of April, 1716. It was divided into sixteen shares, and was bought by gentlemen from Connecticut, Massachusetts and London, who paid for it 5^683 New England currency, which amounted to " a little more than a farthing per acre," the money thus obtained being applied to the use of Yale College. Among these purchasers was a Mr. John White, of Bostori. On the 26th of December, 1753, the -'Equivalent Lands," together with a "considerable quantity of other lands, was formed into three townships, beginning at the north bounds of Hinsdale, Massachusetts, on the west side of the river, and extending back about six miles, and so far up the river " as to enclose the re- quired amount. In the charters of these three towns, the names of several new proprietors were omitted, but particular care was taken that the rights of the original grantees should not be infringed upon. In a petition presental by these grantees to Governor Wentworth, in 1760, he was requested to con- firm to Anna Powell, who held a share formerly belonging to Governor Dum- mer, one quarter part of the " Equivalent Lands," and to the heirs of Anthony Stoddard, to the heirs of John White, and to William Brattle, each a like portion. The confirmation was made in accordance with these in- structions, and was generally supposed that satisfaction had been given to all concerned. But at the close of the war, when Governor Wentworth had recommended his prodigal system of apportioning lands, there came to Ports- mouth, from Pomfret, Connecticut, a Mr. Isaac Dana, who stated that John White had had an interest in the " Equivalent Lands " but that no portioii TOWN OF BARNARD. 83 had been given him in the allotment which had been made seven years previous. To compensate for this neglect, Dana asked for the grant of a township. Colonel Josiah Willard, of Winchester, N. H., who was present, told him that if any wrong had been done, the blame lay with the agent of the proprietors who had settled all things to "his liking." Notwithstanding this declaration, however, Dana received a patent for the township of Pom- fret. A few days later another gentleman appeared, William Story, of Bos- ton, asking redress for the injury done White's heirs. Colonel Theodore Atkinson, the Governor's secretary, was very merry when this claim was proffered, deeming it as fraudulent. But his laugh was no more effective than had been the reasoning of Colonel Willard, and to Story and his associ- ates was set off the township of Bernard, on the 17th of July, 1761, though the appUcation had at first been made in the name of the injured heirs of the injured White. The name of Barnard was given in honor of Francis Barnard, one of the grantees. In the cliarter deed it is spelled Bernard, a clerical error, pro- bably. This orthography was retained for a time, but gradually was dropped, "a" being substituted for the incorrect "e." The surface of the town is not generally so uneven as most of the neighboring townships, yet there is considerable high, mountainous land. Its whole surface, however, is so elevated that the cannonade of the battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775, it is related, was distinctly heard here, though it was one hundred miles distant. Delectable Mountain is a long, rocky ridge, extending from the southern line nearly half way across the western part of the territory, while just north of it is Mt. Hunger. This latter elevation is said to have derived its name from the fact that two men by the name of Eaton starved to death on its summit. It offers a magnificent view of the surrounding country. The territory is well watered by numerous streams, the principal of which is Locust brook and its tributaries, which flows through the town in a north- erly direction, rising in the northwestern part of the same. A branch of Quechee river has its source in the southern part. Near the central part of the town is a handsome little body of water, called Silver Lake, while in the eastern part of the territory is another small pond. Many good mill-sites are afforded, some of which are utiUzed. The soil is various and in many parts quite productive. In the eastern part of the township there is a bog of excel- lent marl. The timber is that common to this section of country, the sugar maple being quite abundant, from which large quantities of sugar is manufac- tured. The geological structure of the eastern part of the town is chiefly made up of rocks of the caldferous mica schist formation, while in the west- ern part the rocks are mostly talcosc schist. Between these two formations is found a narrow bed of gneiss extending through the whole length of the township. Gold has been discovered in this gneiss, though not in quantities sufficiently large to pay for working. No other minerals have been dis- -covered. 84 TOWN OF BARNARD. Ill 1880 Barnard had a population of 1,191, and in 1882 was divided into fourteen school districts and contained fourteen common schools, employing seven male and nineteen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $133.60. There were 277 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $2,416.34, with Mrs. Jennie G. Putnam, superintendent. Barnard, a post village located in the central part of the town, on the outlet of Silver Lake, contains one church (Methodist), a hotel, two stores, several shops and mills and about twenty dwellings. East Barnard is a small post village located in the northeastern part of the town. It has one church (Methodist), two stores and about a dozen dwellings. Daniel M. Chamberlitis saw and planing-mill and general job shop, located at Barnard village, was built by Daniel Aikens about fifty years ago, and came into Mr. Chamberlin's hands in 1869. S. H. Lamb's saw-mill, located on road 8, is operated by water-power, and does custom sawing. H. A. Thayer's saw-mill, located on road 16 corner of 27. is operated by water-power, and does both custom and merchant sawing. The Wesson Newcomb saw-mill, located on road i, has a circular band- saw, operated by water-power, and does custom sawing. E. R. Morgan's saw-mill, located on road 30, does both custom and mer- chant sawing. A Winslow's saw-mill, located on road 48, does custom sawing. /. E. Safford' s grist and saw-mill, located at Barnard village, and operated by water-power, employs six men and does all kinds of grinding and sawing. In 1774, James Call came into the town and chopped some timber, but left in the autumn. In March of the following year an actual settlement was commenced by Thomas Freeman, his son William, and John Newton. During the same season Lot Whitcomb, Nathaniel Page, William Cheedle and Asa Whitcomb moved their families into the town. From thiS' time forward the population gradually increased, until in 1791 the census reports show the town to have had 673 inhabitants. The town was organized and the first town meeting held April 9, 1778, when Thomas White was chosen clerk; Joseph Byan and Joseph Bowman, constables;. Thomas Freeman, Asa Whitcomb and Solomon Aikens, selectmen. The justices of the peace were Benjamin Cox and Beriah Green, in 1786. The first representative was Edmund Hodges, in 1778. Polly Cheedle was the first child born, August 11, 1775. In 1780 the infant settlement was considerably startled byan Indian attack.. At this time, considering the exposed situation of the northern frontier, it had long been a matter of surprise and congratulation in Vermont that the British and Indians had not more frequently improved the many opportunities which were open to them for attacking the settlers and pillaging their fields and TOWN OF BARNARD. 85 •dwellings. This apparent forbearance, so far from arising from any praise- worthy motive, however, was caused by the many difficulties which the enemy knew it would be necessary for them to encounter in reaching the settlements. But the intervention of steep mountains and pathless forests did not afford complete exemption from attack. On the 9th of August, 1780, a party of twenty-one Indians made a raid on Barnard and made prisoners of Thomas M. Wright, John Newton and Prince Haskell. These men were subsequently carried to Canada, whence the two former escaped in the following spring. The latter was exchanged after being a year in captivity. While prisoners they suffered many hardships, which differed only in kind from those they endured during their return journey. David Stone, of Bethel, was captured at the same time, by the same party. When the settlement of Bethel was begun, in the autumn of 1779, a small stockade fort was built by the inhabi- tants of that town for their protection. It stood at the lower end of the west village, on the north side of White river, and its garrison, which had been removed from Royalton, was comm anded by Captain Safford. On the occa- sion of this incursion it rendered no effectual service in behalf of the inhabi- tants. Immediately after the attack the inhabitants of Barnard called a town meeting and resolved to build a fort. Benjamin Cox was chosen cap- tain, and a message was sent to the Governor for a commission. As soon as the fact of an incursion became known, several companies of soldiers from different parts of the State set out for Barnard, but before they arrived here the enemy had departed, and the work of defence was almost completed. The fort was known as Fort Defiance and was occupied by a garrison at times for quite a period. The first settlement in school district No. 8 was commenced by Major John Gambell, from Spencer, Mass., and Benjamin Clapp, from Rochester, Mass., about 1780. Mr. Gambell chopped the first timber and built the first cabin where the Silley family now reside. His first child, a daughter, was born in 1790 ; she married a Mr. Foster and is now living at Potsdam, N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. Gambell lived to a very old age and died on the homestead. Benjamin Clapp was married in May, 1788, and built the first dwelling on the farm now occupied by Horace Hatch. Mr. Clapp was judge of probate for a number of years and represented the town twenty-one years. His son, Capt. Benjamin Clapp, now resides in Barnard village. David Clark settled where Edwin H. Clark now resides in 1797. Aaron Fay settled where Eliakim Page and Willard Walker now reside. Eliakim Fay settled upon what is now known as the Plaisted place. Moses Fay settled where Daniel Perkins now resides. George Clapp, brother of Judge Clapp, settled where Benjamin Furber resides. His son, Alphonso Haywood, is a celebrated California miUionaire. Capt. William Gambell settled the farm now owned by Monroe and John W. Gambell. Daniel McCormick, a Scotchman, came to this country with the British army. He made a settle- ment here at an early date and was the father of the late Mrs. Foster Gates. 86 TOWN OF BARNARD. A Mr. Mackintosh made the first settlement where Alvin Angel now resides. He had a large family, and some of his descendants are reputed to be men of great wealth. Daniel Simmonds built the first house on the farm now owned by Nathaniel Richmond. He was a shoemaker and made the first pair of morocco shoes in the town. Mr. Richmond, a thrifty farmer, has resided on the place fifty years. Seth Dean, a Revolutionary soldier, purchased a farm in Barnard, April 22, 1777. The two following winters he spent in Hardwick Mass., then made Barnard his permanent residence. He married Mary Bicknell and reared four sons, one of whom died in youth. Of the others, Paul became a prom- inent Universalists clergyman ; Seth, Jr., married Martha French, reared six children, and occupied the old homestead until hii death, in 1835; Asa became a mechanic and reared a large family. Of Seth, Jr.'s, children, three are in Iowa, one in Massachusetts, and one in Woodstock, while Paul D., the eldest, occupies the homestead. He has been a constable thirty years, col- lectdr twenty-eight years, selectman six years, and eight years a member of the legislature. At the time of the Indian incursion at Barnard, Seth, Sr., was one of the minute men who rallied to the rescue. Joseph and Moses Ellis, from Walpole, N. H., were the first settlers in the neighborhood of East Barnard, about 1785. Moses married Catharine Boy- den and reared four children, Clark, Enoch, Lucy and Catharine. Clark married Anna Campbell, and Enoch married Eliza Smith, and later Marcia Spaulding. Both resided on the old homestead until 1841, when Joel, the only son of Clark, bought the place. Enoch removed to Royalton, while Clark hved with Joel until his death, in February, 1863. Moses was a dea- con of the Christian church which flourished in the village at an early date, but is not now in existence. Dr. laaac Dauforth was born in Bellerica, Mass., September 30, 1763, graduated from Harvard College in 1785, and the following year established himself a sa physician in Barnard. He married Persis Baker, of Westboro, built a log house near the present residence of C. H. Wright, in which he re- sided until 1800, then built the latter house and occupied it until his death, in 1851. His children were Persis B., Betsy M., Isaac E., Joseph B., Solon, Wilham C, Albert H., and Samuel P. Benjamin Cox was born in 1740, and came to Barnard from Wrentham, Mass., at an early date. In 1780 he had command of a company at the fort in Bethel, and two of his sons, Benjamin and George, served under him. He married Jeruslia Washburn, and made the first settlement on the farm now owned by John McAvenna. He died at the early age of forty-eight, leaving five sons and four daughters. George Cox married Sarah Chamberlin and reared eight children, all of whom have passed away, except George, who, at the age of eighty-four years, resides on the farm given his father, by Ben- jamin, one hundred years ago.

Lewis S. has been postmaster and town clerk over twenty-five years, and still holds the position. Francis Davis came from Warner, ,N. H., about 1794, located on road 7, and built the first grist-mill at East Barnard. His eldest son, Ichabod, mar- ried Susan Ellis about 1804, and made the first clearing on the farm now occupied by William Webb, and resided there until 1823, during which time his eldest son, Joseph E., built the first saw-mill on the site now occupied by the mill of S. H. Lamb. In 1823 Ichabod removed to Royalton, where he died, advanced in years. His family ' numbered fourteen children, four of whom are now living, three in Barnard and one in Sharon. Oliver GofF came from Massachusetts at an early date, and located in the northern part of Pomfret. He reared a family of ten children, all of whom reared children and spent their lives in Windsor county. Oliver, who now lives near the village of East Barnard, over the line in Pomfret, and Jonathan B., at East Barnard, are the only children now living. Rev. Joel Davis, son of Eliphalet Davis, was born in Hubbardton, Mass., October 14, 1776, graduated from Middlebury College in 1804, and was ordained pastor of the old Congregational church of Barnard in 1808, re- mained here until 1824, when he moved to Williamstown, Vt.

Levi D. has been a justice of the peace fourteen years. The First Universalist church, located at Barnard village, was organized by Hosea Ballou, with thirty-eight members, in 1802. It 1828 it was reor- ganized as the First Universalist Society of Barnard, with fifty-eight members. The first church building was erected in 1803, and was replaced by the pres- 88 TOWN OF BETHEL. ent structure in 1841, a building capable of accommodating 350 members and valued, including grounds, at $4,000.00. This society claims to have been the first Universalist church organized in the State, and that their first church building was the first for that denomination in the State. It now has forty- five members, with Rev. Eli Ballou, pastor. The Methodist Episcopal chiirch of Barnard, located at Barnard village, was organized by its first pastor, Rev. Joseph Crawford, in 1802. A church building was erected soon after, which did service until 1837, when it was re- placed by a new one, and which in turn was sold to the town for a town-hall, in 1863. The Congregational church was then purchased and has since been used. This building is valued at $2,500.00 and will accommodate 250 per- sons. The society, numbering fifty-three members, was consolidated with the East Barnard charge in April, 1883, and both are under the pastorate of Rev. H. F. Reynolds. The Methodist Episcopal church of East Barttard^ss organized by Revs. W. Wilcox and S. Richardson, during the winter of i834-'35. The church building was also erected during that winter, in union with the Universalist society, the pews being owned as undivided property by members of the so- ciety. It will comfortably accommodate a congregation of 300 persons, and is valued at about $r, 100.00. The society, numbering thirty-three members, was consolidated with the Barnard charge in April, 1883, both being under the pastoral charge of Rev. H. F. Reynolds. The Universalist church of East Barnard was organized by Rev. John C. Baldwin, of Sharon, in May, 1861, with nineteen members, The church build- ing was erected in 1834, in union with the Methodist society, and has since been used by both. The society now has about thirty members, service being held once in two weeks, under the charge of Rev. L. S. Crossley, of Woodstock. BETHEL lies in the northwestern part of the county, in lat. 43° 50' and long 4° 21', bounded northerly by Randolph, in Orange county, east- erly by Royalton, southerly by Barnard, and westerly by Rochester, enclosing an area of 23,040 acres, or a tract si.\ miles square. The charter of this town was the first granted by the State of Vermont, under the follow- ing circumstances: On December 29, 1777, an association was formed at Hanover, N. H., for the purpose of making a "settlement on White river and its branches," and in March, 1778, they petitioned the legislature of Ver- mont for the grant of a township to be called Bethel. In this petition they say they " understand that said lands were granted by the late governor of New York counter to the royal proclamation, to certain persons, the greater s part of whom have now put themselves under the protection of theenemiesof the American States." This petition met with success and a grant was made TOWN OF BETHEL. 89 March i8, 17 78, the township charter being issued to John Payne, John House, Dudley Chase and forty-three others, December 23, 1779. The surface of the town is very broken and uneven, Paul's Peak and Blue- ' berry Mountain, in the central part, being the principal elevations, though the soil is in general warm and productive. The timber on the highlands is mostly hemlock and spruce, while on the lowlands it is principally beech, birch and maple. The principal streams are White river, which flows across the south- east corner, and its,second and third branches. The second branch but just touches upon the northeast corner. The third branch rises in Roxbury, flows through Braintree and the corner of Randolph into this town, and after flowing about four miles within this territory, joins White river. Locust creek falls into White river in the southeastern part of the town. Camp creek flows across the center of the town from west to east, joining the third branch a little northwest of the center of the township. There are also many other minor brooks and streams. Many good mill-sites are afforded. The Central Vermont railroad crosses the northeastern part of the territory, affording a convenient mode of transportation for the imports and exports of the town. Nearly the whole of this town, geologically speaking, is made up of rock, of the talcose schist formation, though there is a considerable bed of clay slate in the western part, and one or two small beds oi granite and steatite are found. Traces of gold have been discovered in the southeastern part and in some other localities. On the farm of Albert G. Marsh are found specimens of iron ore, green vitriol, and excellent slate, and in the eastern part of the town Edwin Kittredge operates a good granite quarry, operated by in 1867. Mr. E. A. Maxham, of Bethel, has a mounted specimen of the North American panther, killed in Barnard, November 24, 1881, by Alexander Crowell. It measures seven feet six inches from tip to tip, and weighed, after losing several pounds of blood, 182^ pounds. It is said to be the largest specimen ever found in the country. In 1880 Bethel had a population of i,693,.and in 1882 was divided into twelve school districts, and contained twelve common schools, employing three male and twenty-one female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $1,815.80.

EastBethelIs a small post village located in the northeastern part of the town. It contains one church (Baptist), a hotel, about twenty houses and the usual compliment of mechanic's shops, etc. The Bethel Grist-mill, owned by Hiram H. Gilson, was built by Peleg Marsh, in 1835. Mr. Gilson employs four men and does a large amount of business. The mill has a water-power with an eight-foot head. James Mannix's blacksmith shop was built in 1880. Mr. Mannix does a large business in all kinds of blacksmith work. /. B. Alley &• Co.'s tannery, located at Bethel, employs thirteen hands, turning out a large amount of work per annum. Samuel H. Bank's tin shop, located on xMain street, turns out a large amount of work. E. M. Weston's carriage manufactory, located on Main street, was built by D. & I. Weston, and is now managed by the son of the latter. Messrs. Hascom, Brooks is" Brigham, proprietors of the Bethel Toy Manu- factory, carry on a large business. Hibbard 6- Perkins's carriage shop, located on road fifty-four, was built in 1858. This firm does a good business in custom work and repairing. M. D. Brown's grist-mill, located at East Bethel, is supplied with three runs of stones. Mr. Brown has also machinery for doing custom plaining. The National White River Bank, located at Bethel vill^e, was chartered under the old State banking system, as the White River Bank, and com- menced business in February, 1851, with Charles Baxter, president, and L. L. Tilden, cashier. In May, 1865, it was organized as it now exists, with a capital of $125.00. Nelson Gay, of Stockbridge, is now president of the institution, and M. Sylvester, cashier. The settlement of the town was commenced by Benjamin Smith, in the autumn of 1779. The next year he was joined by Joel Marsh, Samuel Peak, Seth Chase, Willard Smith and David Stone, after which the settle- ment increased quite rapidly. About the first thing the settlers did was to build a stockade fort, as in the then troubled state of the country an Indian attack upon the defenseless settlements might at any moment be expected. The fort stood at the lower end of the village, as near as can be learned, precisely where the railroad depot now stands. At the time the excavations were made for building the railroad, some iron relics were dug up at this point, a gate hinge, etc., tending to prove that this was the spot where the settlers, with their wives, children and property, had gathered themselves together for protection from the foe. The wisdom displayed in building this fort was soon made apparent, for on Ihe 9th of August, 1870, a party of twenty-one Indians made a descent on Barnard and made prisoners of Thomas M. Wright. Prince Haskell and John Newton, also taking David Stone, of this town. Royalton had a small garri- son of soldiers, commanded by a Captain Safford. This garrison was called upon and was removed to the Bethel fort. This proved the salvation of TOWN OF BETHEL. gl Bethel, but was most disastrous to Royalton ; for only a little over two months later a party of nearly 300 came on and totally destroyed the settle- ment in the latter town, and Bethel would have shared the same fate had it not been for its little fort and its garrison of brave and hardy men. This body of Indians came up White river as far as the mouth of the second branch, destroying every house but one, a log dwelling which stood north of the branch on the meadow, and was not discovered by the Indians, the occu- pants having extinguished the lights, and the savages feared to approach nearer the fort at Bethel. Early in August, 1781, an alarm was again spread, which caused the com- mandant of the fort, Capt. John Benjamin, to seek assistance from the neigh- boring militias. This alarm, however, proved to have no foundation in fact ; still, in obedience to the apphcation, Capt. Bartholomew Durkee, on the loth of the month, at the head of twenty-five of the stout men of Pomfret, marched to his aid, and was joined by Capt. Elkanah Sprague with five men from Hartford. The readiness of the soldiers to fight, however, was the only method by which they were permitted to evince their bravery on this occasion. The sole record of the expedition which remains, is that which preserves the names of the militia, the number of miles they traveled and the days they were absent on service. Lois, daughter of Dudley Chase, and wife of Benjamin Smith, was a brave, noble woman. On the 6th of September, 1780, there was born to her and her good husband a son, who was also named Asa, the first birth on the town. Asa lived and died here, a quiet, unassuming, honorable gentleman, loved and respected by every one. He was but a month old when the Royalton massacre occurred, and his mother sought protection with him at the fort. Mr. Smith then lived in a Jog house on the meadow of what is still known as the Smith farm. It is said that when the family contemplatad emigration to this town, from Cornish, N. H., Lois opened her bible to read the first verse her eye should rest upon, as a guide for her final conclusion, or as a prophesy of her final failure or success. The verse that met her eye was the fifth of the fifth chapter of ^mos, — "But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba, for GilgaJ shall finally go into captivity and Bethel shall come to naught." This sharp warning, however, did not deter her, but after the burning of jRoyalton she insisted that its name ought to be Gilgal. The mantle of prophesy seems to have fallen on this family, for her father, Dud- ley, so it is related, came to Bethel with a surveying party some time before the date of the charter, and encamped one night on the stream in East Bethel, sleeping on the ground with a stone for a pillow. In the morning, like Jacob of old; he said to his companion, — "This place shall be called Bethel, and who knows but that this stone which has been my pillow shall be one of the foundation stones of a church of God;" (Genesis xxxiii, 11, 18, 19,22). In 1824 the Baptist church was built on the very place where they encamped, and all the stones in the immediate vicinity were gathered and used in the foun- ■92 TOWN OF BETHEL. dation that the prophecy might be fulfilled.

BRIDGEWATER is a central-western border town of the county, lying in lat. 43° 37' and long. 4" 22', bounded north by Barnard, east by Woodstock, south by Plymouth, and west by Sherburne, in Rutland county, the length of the western boundary being, by charter, eight miles, that of the eastern seven miles and a half, and of the northern and south- gC TOWN OF BRIDGEWATER. em six miles each, giving an area of forty-six and one-half miles. The charter was given to Seth Field and his associates, July lo, 1761, in sixty- seven shares. The surface of the town is very uneven, except along the several streams where there is much level intervale land possessing an excellent soil. Among the many hills Mt. Hope, in the western part of the town, and Bald Mountain, in the southern part, are the most prominent. Though the highlands are in some parts quite ledgy, they contain many excellent farms, and afford excellent pasturage for cattle, sheep and horses. Here the timber is mostly spruce and hemlock, while the lower land abounds in maple, beech, birch, etc., from the first of which large quantities of sugar is annually made. The territory is watered by Quechee river and its numerous tributaries, many of which afford excellent water privileges. The Quechee rises in Sherburne and flows easterly through the southern part of this town into Woodstock. There was a time, however, when the river probably flowed into Black river instead of the course it now occupies. Extending from Stockbridge to Ludlow, following along the western line of Bridgewater, is a range of high land, which has no break except where the river now crosses it, through a deep gorge. West of this ridge is an unusually prominent valley which was doubtless once the bed of the Quechee when it flowed into Black river. There is also evidence that there was a blocking up of this gorge some time during the alluvial period, for the accumulations of coarse materials at the head of the stream in Sherburne are very great. One of these hills of modi- fied drift arrests attention by its striking appearance. It occupies the middle of the valley like an island in a lake. Probally the bottom of this valley was filled a hundred feet or more with detritus, when the river flowed into Black river instead of coming to Woodstock, and it is likely that this hill of drift materials is only a remnant of that deposit. The rocks entering into the geological formation of the township are various. Nearly three-quarters of the territory, from the west Une, is made up of rocks of the ialcose schist formation. This immense bed, however, is cut by a narrow range of clay slate, extending nearly the whole length of the town from north to south, while in the southwestern part there is a bed of saccharoid azbid limestone. Next to this schistose rock, extending from Bar- nard to Plymouth, is a range of gneiss, having a mean width of about one mile. All of the rocks in the township east of this latter range are known as calciferous mica schist. There are also two quite considerable beds of steatite^ or soapstone, in the western part of the town. In the summer of 1851, Matthew Kennedy discovered gold in a gangue of quartz that traversed the slate ledge above mentioned. He did not disclose the fact however, until he had secured a title to the land, in September, 1852. Upon examination, it was found that gold existed in three or four veins of quartz, within the space of eighty rods ; whereupon the " yellow fever" broke out in the community, and raged with unabated fury till a sale TOWN OF BRIDGEWATER. 97 of the property .was made to Ira F. Payson, Charles J. Kane and Simeon M. Johnson, in 1853. This company erected a crushing-mill and placed in it an engine for working the crushers, stampers, washers, etc., and in Tune, 1854, made the first experiment of separating the gold from its matrix of quartz. "Various reports were afloat in the community respecting the amount of gold obtained per week from the quartz, but nothing reliable was ever known to outsiders of the per centage of gold which the quartz yielded. Amid these conflicting reports it was, however, evident that the stock of the company was on the decline; and the result was, that in February, 1855, the works were suspended and abandoned by the proprietors and the property again fell into the hands of Mr. Kennedy, by virtue of a mortgage which he held on the premises. Since that time nothing of importance has ever been done in mining, and it is quite evident that the precious metal does not exist in quantities sufficient to warrant remunerative working. Galena, or lead ore, has also been found here in small quantities. In 1880 Bridgewater had a population of 1,084, and in 1883 it was divided into ten school districts and contained eleven common schools, employing three male and fourteen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $1,096.13. There were 229 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $1,182.18, with L. H. Spaulding, superintendent. Bridgewater is a small post village located in the eastern part of the town, containing two stores and several mills and mechanic shops. West Bridgewater is a small post village located in the western part of the town. Bridgewater Corners (p. o.) is a hamlet located in the southern central part of the town. The Ashton Mill Co.'s mill, located on road 48, has the capacity for manu- facturing 10,000 feet of lumber per day. A. D. £arro7vs's saw-mill, located at Bridgewater Corners, cuts about 150,000 feet of lumber per annum. Mansell Heselton's chair stock factory, located on road 38, is operated by steam power and manufactures 3,000,000 chair stretchers per year. W, C. Bugbee &= Co.'s mills, located at Bridgewater Corners, for the manu- facture of chair stock and buter tubs, give employment to ten men and turn out $10,000.00 worth of chair stock and S)°°° butter tubs antjually. The machinery is of the best quality, operated by steam power. The Chateaiigay Steam Mills, A. L. & H. G. Davis, proprietors, are located on road 16. These mills have the capacity for turning out 1 0,000 feet of lumber and a large number of chair stretchers per day. The first lot of land surveyed was in the northern part of the town, in Sep- tember,- 1779, by Dea. Asa Jones, and in the winter following he brought his. family from Woodstock on hand-sleds, making the first settlement in the wil- derness town of Bridgewater, in what is now known as the Mendall district. 7 98 TOWN OF BRIDGEWATER. During that winter they were the only inhabitants ; but in May, 1780, Amos Mendall joined them and soon after married a daughter of Dea. Jones, mak- ing the second family in the town. A daughter was born to the young couple in 1781, the first birth in the township. The child was named Lucy and lived here until she attained a ripe old age. In 1783 Isaiah Shaw and Cephas Sheldon moved their families into the northern part of the town, they having made some improvements the year previous, and Capt James Fletcher came in about the same time. In 1784, Richard Southgate settled on the Quechee river where Bridgewater village now is, and about the same time a large family by the name of Hawkins located where Bridgewater Corners now is. From this time forward the population increased quite rapidly, so that in 1791, at the taking of the first census, the town had 293 inhabitants, and in 1800 it had 781. The town was organized and the first town meeting held, March 30, 1785, when Asa Jones was chosen moderator ; John Hawkins, town clerk ; Rich- ard Southgate, James Fletcher and Isaiah Shaw, selectm-n ; Joseph Haw- kins, town treasurer and constable; Bliss Hoisington, James Fletcher and Joseph Boyce, listers; Richard Southgate. grand juror, and Joseph Boyce, Amos Mendall and James Toplifi", surveyors of highwaxs. John Hawkins was the first representative, in 1784, and also the first justice of the peace, in 1786. The first saw-mill was built in the northern part of the town, by George Boyce, in 1784. The Messrs. Hawkins built one that went into operation in 1785, and Mr. Southgate another, which went into operation soon after. The latter gentleman also built the first grist-mill, in 1786. Josiah Boyce built the first frame house. Isaiah Shaw, who came here in 1783, located upon the farm now occupied by his grandson, Elihu Shaw. Isaiah was twice married and reared a family of thirteen children, three of whom are now living. He was an eminently respected man and died here at an advanced age. Richard Southgate, who came here from Massachusetts in 1784 and took such an active part in developing the settlement, was the father of three sons and three daughters. Thomas, the oldest, was a farmer, his dwelling being located upon the site now occupied by Dr. Rodi man's fine house. Thomas married Elizabeth White and reared four children, one of whom, Mrs Mary Davis, a lady eighty-four years of age, now resides in the village. James, the second son, became a farmer and tavern keeper, and settled at the village. He was twice married and had seven children, none of whow are now living. Richard, Jr., the youngest son, occupieil the old homestead built in 1797, and now owned by F. S. McKenzie. He took an active interest in military affairs, holding the office of captain of militia, and was familiarly known as "Capt. Dick." He was twice married and reared ten children, two of whom, Napoleon Bonoparte and Winfield Scott, now reside at the village, the only- surviving ones.

James Topliflf was born January 8, 1760, married young, and came to Ver- mont' at an early date, first settling in Hartford, then coming to this town and locating upon the farm now occupied by his grandsons, Andrew J. and Calvin T. Mr. Topliff held many of the early town offices and died at an advanced age, possessing the honor and respect of all. Norman N. Barrows, residing on road 43, is the only surviving offspring of Lucy Mendall, the first child born in the town. Mr. Barrows is now over sixty years of age. Dr. Benjamin Perkins, born at Lyme, Conn., about 1763, came to Bridge- water at an early date, and was one of the victims of the fever epidemic of 181 3. This epidemic prevailed to an alarming degree, sweeping off great numbers of the most respectable and useful citizens. Nineteen persons in the town were swept off in the month of March, a great portion of whom were heads of families. Mr. Perkins' grave is at Bridgewater cemetery. Dea. Joseph Perkins, brother of Benjamin, was killed here by the faUing of a tree in June, 1824. Joseph was a worthy deacon of the Congregational church, and left a family of five to mourn his loss.

Erastus E., another son, has been a resident of Woodstock for the past thirty-three years. Simeon also lives in Wood- stock. Horatio N. married AUura D. Woodward, and now occupies the place where Deacon Joseph Perkins settled and died. All the other of Ebenezer's children are dead. Noah Thompson came to Bridgewater, from Halifax, Mass., about 1792, locating in the northern part of the town with his ten children, all of whom lived to attain an adult age, and many of whom became influential citizens. David filled most of the town oflftces and was returned to the general assem- bly several times. Zadock Thompson, the noted scholar, for many years a professor in the University of Veimont, author of "Thompson's Gazetteer of Vermont" and several other valuable works, was a son of Barnabas. He , was born on his father's farm, corner of roads 10 and 11. Charles S. Raymond, whose grandfather was among the early settlers of the town, was born here September 20, 1815, and with the exception of a TOWN OF BRIDGEWATEK. few years in the early part of his life, which were passed in Woodstock, always lived in his native town. He early took an active part in local pub- lic affairs and became one of the leading men of the town, representing his townsmen successively in the general assembly, senate, and serving them as delegate to conventions and public assemblies, and was widely known throughout the State. He was one of the original trustees of the savings bank, of Woodstock, an institution over which he watched with unwavering fidelity to the last of his life, serving continuously as trustee from its organi- zation in 1847. He was also a director of the Windsor County Mutual Fire Insurance Company, having had his first election in 1857 and served contin- uously, except one year, until his death. When the Woodstock railroad was projected, thoroughly believing in its importance and necessity, he gave it his earnest and hearty support, being one of its directors until his death. He was married, July 15, J 840, to Charlotte M. Dana, daughter of Charles M. Dana, of Woodstock, who survives him. Of his family, two sons, Charles Raymond, of Ludlow, and William C. Ra)mond, of Bridgewater, survive him. Joseph Dimick, Jr., from Mansfield, Mass., came to this town in 1793, locating on road 37, upon the farrrl now owned by Chester Dimick. He reared a family of thirteen children, six of whom are now living. Guerdon Backus, Jr., came from England about 1795, 3"<^ located on road 35, upon the farm now owned by Scott Robinson. He had a family of ten children, many of whose descendants now live in Vermont. Smith Whitman came here, from Springfield, Vt., in 1806, locating upon the farm now owned by his son Andrew J. He assisted Mr. Hawkins in building a saw-mill that went into operation in 1808 and was carried off by a freshet in i8ir. Elisha Woods, from Petersborough, N. H., came here in 1S13 and located upon the farm now owned by E. F. Woods. He reared a family of twelve children, all but four of whom now reside here. William G. Smith was born in Bridgewater in 1807, and resided here, with the exception of twelve years spent in Woodstock, all his life, dying in 1882. He had two children, Charles and Emily. The former resides in Plymouth and the latter upon the home farm. Josiah Joslyn, whose father, Jo.siah, was an early settler in Woodstock, was born August 25, 1799, has been engaged in mercantile pursuits in this town many years. He married Ann Topliff, October 16, 1825, and their two children, Andrew J. and Carlton T., are both living. xMr. Carlton, a hale old man of eighty-five^years, has held most of the town offices, being a representative twice. Abadiah Spaulding came here in 1830 and located in the southwesterff | part of the town. He married Jane Kennedy, of Plymouth, and reared • twelve children, six of whom are now living. TOWN OF CAVENDISH. iqi CAVENDISH lies just south of the central part of the county, in lat. 43° 23' and long. 4° 25', bounded north by Reading, east by Weath- ersfield, south by Chester and Baltimore, and west by Ludlow. It was granted to Amos Kimball and his associates, in seventy-two shares, by New Hampshire, the charter being issued October 12, 1761, and was re- chartered by New York, June 16, 1772. Its original area was about seven miles square; but October 19, 1793, the southeastern corner, containing about 3,000 acres, was incorporated into a new township, by the name of Baltimore. This was done on account of Hawk's Mountain, which formed a natural barrier, preventing convenient communication between the two sections. The surface of the town is rather uneven, yet not sufficiently so, except in ■certain localities, to retard cultivation of the soil, which is, in most parts, of an excellent quality. Black river, which flows across the town from west to east, and twenty-mill stream, which flows in a southerly direction and unites with it about a mile and a half north of the village, are the principal streams, though they have many tributaries. The scenography and surface geology of the valley of Black river at this point are among the most interesting and beautiful in the State. From Chester the railroad enters the town through a valley that was doubtless, in the early ages of the earth's history, the bed of Black river. Following this valley, soon after entering Cavendish, a deep gorge between Hawk's mountain and Button's hill is found. In this gorge abundant evi- dence is presented, in the water-worn appearance of the rocks and in the numerous pot-holes, that a large stream of water once had its course through this gulf. Sections of pot-holes, fifteen and twenty feet in diameter, and those of smaller dimensions, are numerous. A small brook, sustained by the waters from a few springs, winds along through the gorge, a diminutive representative of the powerful current that cut down this deep abyss and left in it such fantastic markings. Emerging from the north end of Duttonsville gulf. Cavendish village breaks in upon the view, with Black river flowing through the fertile valley and suddenly disappearing in a deep, dark gorge, the rocky walls of which are more precipitous than those in the gulf just passed. The numerous terraces that skirt the valleys, and the high rocky walls that rise on either side of the deep gorge through which the river now escapes, give evidence that before that rocky barrier was cut asunder by the stream a lake or pond existed in the valley, the outlet of which lay through Duttons- ville gulf. About half a mile east of Cavendish village are Cavendish falls. The waters of the river go dancing down through the deep ravine as though rejoicing in their liberty and exulting at the great victory they had won in the remote past over the adjacent rocks by cutting that yawning and cavernous gorge through them. Here is one of the most interesting cases of erosion ever recorded by I02 TOWN OF CAVENDISH. the hand of time, not even excepting the far-famed gorge below Niagara Falls. The prediction that the chain of lakes above Niagara will ultimately — but at some far distant day — be drained through the deep worn channel that will extend to them, is in this case verified. The chain of lakes that once existed in the terraced basins of Black river valley — where are now located the pleas- ant and thriving villages of Cavendish, Proctorsville and Ludlow — had an outlet through Duttonsville gulf. A high rocky barrier extended along the eastern end, through which the stream finally found a passage at a lower level, by which the lakes were ultimately drained and pleasant village sites afforded. " Varnum's Point " is the name given one point affording a magnificent view. The origin of the name is somewhat amusing : In i84f, as Varnum Lockwood was quarrying hmestone from the ledge near the southern brink of the river, by springing hard upon his iron bar he lost his balance and was thrown over the precipice into the whirling eddy, forty-five and one-half feet below. His companions, rushing to the brink, beheld him buffeting with the high swelling waves, which ever and anon would engulf him, in spite of his frantic efforts to escape. At last he succeeded in securing a hold upon a jutting rock, by which he drew himself from the water in an almost exhausted state. He was beyond the reach of his companions, who, solicitous for his welfare, but unable to descend to his assistance, made earnest inquiries whether he was much injured by the fall. Looking up, and intently feel- ing in his pockets, while the water ran in torrents from his drenched person, he replied : " The fall didn't hurt me much, but I'm darned 'fraid I've lost my jack-knife." " Varnum's Point " the spot has ever since been called. Mr. Lockwood is still a resident of the town. His great fall injured him consider- ably, so much so that it was weeks before he was able to be out. Passing down the southern bank a distance of forty rods, " Lover's Leap " is reached. Here the jutting mica schist stands out in an angle of the stream, affording one who has the nerve to stand upon a perpendicular precipice a hundred feet above the foaming current that lashes itself to a foam in the abyss below him, one of the wildest and most romantic scenes in nature. To the west is seen, amid the giant bowlders, the rushing waters flowing on apace, as though in haste to reach the base of " Lover's Leap ; " then, turning abruptly at right angles down the stream, they speed their way directly to the north, and often hide their foamy caps beneath the gigantic bowlders that are thrown together in stupendous heaps, and, in low water, bridge the deep-worn channel. A few steps further east and " Prospect Point " is reached. Here is not only shown the picturesque surroundings seen from " Lover's Leap," but the modus opciiDiili by which the gorge was made is also here suggested. A deep and long extended crack across the strata is visible at this point, and, if we conjecture aright, through this the water first escaped from out the chain of lakes before alluded to. " Eureka Cave " is also an interesting point. From " Prospect Point," TOWN OF CAVENDISH. 1 03 passing down some fifty rods on a rustic footpath, one will find himself near the entrance to the cave, in the " Rotunda.'' This, as its name implies, is a circular enclosure surrounded by a smoothly worn and water-washed ledge, the top and sides of which are arranged in that drapery which nature uses to decorate her wildest and most secluded haunts. Just around a jutting point of rock is the entrance to the cave. No pendant stalactites are found upon the roof of this spacious cavern, for the roof is mica schist and solid ; but the smooth, rounded outline of its walls, proclaims the fact that water was the agent employed to scoop out its deep recess. Less than half a dozen rods from the cave, upon the verge of the stream, the pre-Adamic waters scooped out a pot-hole that is now elevated about twenty feet above the river bed, of a size to admit a dozen persons. Leaning over the western edge of this rock-basin, one of the most beautiful of views is opened to the spectator. As far up and down the stream as the eye can reach are seen gigantic bowlders piled together in great profusion, with high and overhanging rocks on either side, in which are deep indented niches and fantastic carvings made by water, which bring to the mind of the beholder the descriptions he has read of ruined amphiteaters and the old city of Petra, cut by man out of the solid rock. Years were required to perfect and bring to ruin those works of art — but untold centures rolled around while water was at work in this sequestered glen in giving the final touch to this master-work of nature. The rocks of the eastern part of the territory are mostly oi gneiss formation, while in the western part they are principally cakiferous mica schist. There are, however, in various parts of the town beds of steatite, serpentine and limestone. Before the introduction of the railroad, considerable hme was manufactured here. In 1880 Cavendish had a population of 1,276, and in 1882 it was divided into ten school districts and contained eleven common schools, employing three male and twenty-two female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $1,555.49. There were 242 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $1,790.73, with George E. Smith, superintendent. Cavendish is a fine Httle post village and station on the Central Vermont railroad, located in the southern part of the town, on Black river. It for- merly was known as Duttonsville, and did a large manufacturing business ; but its two large woolen mills were destroyed by fire a few years since. It now has two churches (Baptist and Universalist), a fine school building, a town house, three stores, and about fifty dwellings. Here is also a fine soldier's monument, presented to the town by ex-Gov. Redfield Proctor, a native of this town, but now of Rutland, in May, 1883. Proctorsville, a post village and station on the C. V. R. R., is also located on Black river, in the western part of the town. It has two churches, (Methodist and Catholic), two stores, a hotel, a good school building, the Cresent Woolen Mills, and about fifty dweUings. 104 TOWN OF CAVENDISH. Whitesville is a hamlet located on Black river about a mile north of Cav- endish village. It has a grist-mill, saw-mill, bobbin factory and about a dozen dwellings. S. P. Todd's wagon shop, located at Proctorsville, was established by him in 1863. He manufactures heavy wagons and does a general repairii)g busi- ness. Eagle Cheese Factory, Anson W. Dunn, manager, was built by a stock company in 1878. The building, 30x60 feet, is located on road 42. This factory uses milk from 300 cows. Adams' saw-mill, located on Twenty Mile Stream, is supplied with a circu- lar saw and cuts from 100,000 to 300,000 feet of lumber per year. Joseph S. Bonds saw and grist-mills are located on Twenty Mile Stream. The saw-mill is furnished with an upright saw, and the grist-mill with two runs of stones. Belknap d?' Kingsky's cider-mill, located on road 35 corner ^t,, has the capacity for manufacturing twenty-five to thirty barrels of cider per day. E. H. Athertoris saw and grist-mill, located at Whitesville, turn out 500,000 feet of lumber annually, while the grist-mill operates three runs of stones. George M. R. Howard's bobbin factory is located at Whitesville. The Fletcher Library, located at Cavendish village, was established by Richard Fletcher, who gave to the town 2,600 volumes and the interest ac- cruing from $4,000.00. By a vote of the town, November 16, 1870, a branch library was established at Proctorsville, giving thereto five-thirteenths of the books and securing to it the same proportion of all additions, stipu- lating, however, that the Proctorsville people should furnish a suitable build- ing for the books and defray all expenses. By this means both villages have an excellent library which is annually being increased in value. The Proctorsville Library Association was organized in 1858. The first funds were raised by an entertainment given by a dramatic society of the village, to which sum ev-Gov. Redfield Proctor added a like amount. This library and the Fletcher library are kept in the same building. It now has over 1,300 volumes. Kendall Taylor is librarian for both libraries. The National Black River Bank, located at Proctorsville, was established as a State bank in 1845, with a capital of $50,000.00, E. F. Parker, president, and D. A. Heald, cashier. In 1865 the bank was re-organized under the na- tional system. The capital has not been increased, though the institution has a surplus fund of $24,750.00. George S. Hill is president and Charles W. Whitcomb, cashier. Cavendish Town Farm, for the support of the poor, is located on road 20, with Wallace S. Rist, superintendent. It contains 160 acres and at present has seven indigent occupants. Proctorsville Mills. — A wooden mill was built at Proctorsville in 1834-35, by a company formed for that purpose. This was buriied in 1844, and rebuilt TOWN OF CAVENDISH. 105 in 1844-45, being operated by Gilson, Smith & Co., until 1S49, when they were succeeded by Smith & Balcom, who carried on the business until 1856. The mill was then operated for a few years by William Smith, and afterwards by George L. Balcom & Co., until 1864, when a corporation was formed under the title of the Proctors ville Mills. They owned the property until 1877, when it was sold to William E. Hayward and L. H. Taft, of Uxbridge, Mass., and A. S. Burbank, of ProctorsvLUe, who are the present owners and occu- pants. This firm also purchased the chair-factory one mile west of Proctors- ville, in 1880, and converted it into a shoddy and flock factory and box shop. Both this mill and the woolen mill are under the management of A. S. Bur- bank, who has had charge of the woolen mill twenty years. This mill now contains six sets of cards, twenty-five broad looms, and conjunctive mach- inery for manufacturing cassimeres, flannels and ladies' dress goods, employing about one hundred hands. In 1762, a number of the proprietors visited the township, surveyed it, allotted the shares in severalty, and, according to their own account, "were in great forwardness, when disputes arose," which caused them to abandon the undertaking. A disposition to renew the attempt was manifested in 1 765 ; but no settlement was actually made until 1769, when, in the month of June, Captain John Coffin located his farm and built a dwelling in the northern part of the township. During the Revolution his hospitable residence afforded shelter and refreshment to the American soldiery while passing from Charles- town to the military posts on Lake Champlain. In the northwestern part of the town was a similar stopping-place, known as the "Twenty-mile encamp- ment,'' giving the name to Twenty-mile Stream. In 1771, Noadiah Russell and Thomas Gilbert joined Captain Coffin in his settlement, sharing with him his wants and privations, as for many years they struggled hard for a scanty and precarious subsistance, So few were the mills that at this period they were sometimes obliged to travel sixty miles to procure " the grinding of a single grist of corn." In 1775, Capt. Coffin was made a captain of mihtia, whence he gained his title of captain. He lived to see the town all settled and organized, and to take an active part in its public concerns. In 1791, the population amounted to 491. It is not known when the town was organized, as the first book of records, tradition has it, was lost. The first meeting recorded, however, was March 12, 1782, when Josiah Fletcher was chosen town clerk; Noadiah Russell, constable; and Solomon Button, Ephraim Foster and John Fletcher, select- men. That this was not the first meeting is confirmed by the fact that the book of land records contains the name of John Russell as town clerk. May 26, 1781. This is also further confirmed by the fact that John Coffein set- tled here in 1769, and represented the town in March, 1778. The first jus- tice of the peace was Solomon Button, in 1786. The first deed recorded was from Jesse Reid to John Coffein, March 29, 1781. The first grist-mill was built by Samuel White, about a mile east of Cavendish village, on Black I06 TOWN OF CAVENDISH. River. The second mill was erected about 1800, by Nathaniel Russell. It stood on the farm now owned by Richard Russell, on road 35. Many of the residences built in the infancy of the town are still standing, venerable old structures that the hand of time has dealt lightly with in order that they may remain to remind us of the vicissitudes and self-sacrifices endured by our fathers. The dwelling of Mrs. Sarah Button, at Cavendish village, was built by Solomon Dutton in 1782. Five generations of the But- ton family have been born under its roof, and five generations have lifted its old-fashioned latches on its doors when their infant stature was scarcely equal to the task, and to many of them was lifted the same latch, years since, as they entered upon that "long journey whose end we know not of." The building was used for many years as a hotel, the first in the town. Upon the farm of Joseph S Atherton is a house that was built about one hundred years ago. This building was also used as an hotel. Upon J. H. .Adams's farm, on road 34, there is a house that was built by Noadiah Russell, supposed to be the second frame house built in the town. The present residence of George W. White was built by his grandfather, Samuel White, over ninety years ago. A house standing upon the farm of L. E. Wright, on road 25, has on its chimney the date " 1794.'' F. H. Wheeler's residence, on road 4, was built in 1797. The residence of Dan. Stearns, corner roads 17 and 28, was built by a Mr. Pelton, in 1795. The house owned by Surry Ross, at Proctorsville, was built by John Proctor about eighty years ago. It has no less than six old- fashioned fire-places. The old residence of Asaph Fletcher, at Proctorsville, was built by him over ninety years ago. It was his home until 1828, then was occupied by his son, ex-Gov. Fletcher, until 1873. I' 's now owned by Henry A. Fletcher. When Mr. Fletcher came to this farm, in 1787, there was a house on this place, which is still standing, though it has not been occupied for some time. Many other old landmarks might be mentioned, but space forbids. Several destructive fires have visited Cavendish village, greatly retarding its business interests. The first was the burning of the " stone factory," as it was called, November i 2, 1873. This factory was built in 1832, by a com- pany under the firm name of the Black River Canal and Manufacturing Com- pany. The factory went into operation in 1835, making a fine quality of broadcloth, under the management of Henry N. FuUerton. In time it passed into the hands of Nathaniel Fullerton, of Chester. In 1854 it was leased by a company under the fiim name of Fullerton & Co. ; they manufactured cassimeres until about the close of the rebellion. In 1869 the property passed into the hands of F. W. Whipple, of Providence, R. I., and was occu- pied by James Whipple up to the time it was destroyed. Alonzo Haskell's mills, together with the Baptist church, were destroyed .\pril 27, 1875. Robert Fitton's factory was burned September 6, 1875, his storehouse was destroyed February 28, 1877, and his boarding house June 24, 1878. He also had five dwelling houses burned October 5, 1881, and another dwelling November 7, 1881. Carlton H. Gowran's tannery burned January 16, i88o, TOWN OF CAVENDISH. 107 and Thomas Gordan's hotel and Mrs. Caroline Chase's dwelling were de- stroyed by fire March 14, 1882. The second settlement was made in i77i,.when Capt. Coffein was joined by Noadiah Russell and Thomas Gilbert. Mr. Russell located on road 34, upon the farm now owned by J. H. Adams. There is an old apple tree yet standing on the place, which was planted by him, the first in the town. Mr. Russell died in May, 1832, aged eighty-eight years. His son, Nathaniel, born on the old homestead, married Patty Hardy, and reared a family of eight children, three of whom, Urial, Richard and Millie (Mrs. H. D. Spark), are now living, all in this town. Nathaniel died February 5, 1871, aged over eighty-five years. Urial, born July 5, 1823, niarried AngeHne A. Wilson and has been blessed with three children, Addie L., Mattie B., and Alice R., the latter deceased. Richard was born in 1826 and married Mary A. Whitney. John and Daniel Peck were among the first settlers. They located in the eastern part of the town. John died in Weston about 1850, and Daniel died here in 1852. Oliver, son of John, born here in 1797, married Lucy Austin, reared a family of eleven children, ten of whom are now living, and died December i, 1878.

Spaulding), reside in the town. David Saunders, one of the early settlers, came here from Jaffrey, N. H., and located upon the farm now owned by his son-in-law, Ambrose E. Graves. He married Hannah Whitney and reared nine children, two of whom, Lou- isa (Mrs. A. E. Graves), and Maria (Mrs. Henry C. Earle), reside here. He died November 3, i860. Mrs. Saunders died December 30, 1857. Jonathan Athefton came to Cavendish, from Harvard, Mass., at an early date, and located upon the farm now owned by his grandson, Joseph V. Atherton, on road 32. He married Nancy Bridge, reared five children, and died in 1826. John Hardy, an early settler, came to Cavendish, from Massachusetts, and located upon the farm now owned by his grandson, Ryland Hardy, on road 34. He had a family of eight children and died about 1835. Jesse Adams, one of the early settlers, located upon the farm now owned Io8 TOWN OF CAVENDISH. by Julia K. Adams, on road 36, which has ever since been retained in the Adams family. Captains Joshua, Isaac and Ebenezer I'arker, three brothers, were early settlers. Capt. Joshua located in the northern part of the town and reared five children, Polly, Betsey, Levi, Abner J., and Joshua. Betsey, aged eighty-seven years, is the only one now Hving. Joshua, Jr., settled on the farm now owned by his son, C. D. Parker, and died August 22, 1879. C. D. is the only direct male descendant in the town.

Mr. Fletcher was almost entirely a self-made man, yet he was a thorough scholar and a skillful physician, following his profession from the age of twenty- two years until age compelled him to relinquish active service. He was a member of the con- vention that framed the application to Congress for admission of Vermont into the Union, a member of the convention to review the constitution of Vermont, and several times a member of the State legislature. He was also a judge of the county court many years, a member of the council of censors, and was one of the electors when Monroe was made president. Aside from' all these he was for a time president of the county medical society and held other officers.

Justus Warner French was born at Hardwick, Vt., October 13, 1816, the fifth child of Samuel and Tabitha (Dow) French, the latter being a sister of the famous preacher, Lorenzo Dow. Mr. French received a good practical education and went into business at Randolph Center, Vt.

Mr. French was twice married, reared a family of five children, and died September 5, 1874. His widow and one daughter survive him. The Congregational church of Hartford was organized, probably, a few years before 1786. Previous to this, the first settlers had shown great inter- est in the religious welfare of the town. As early as 1762, the year before the town was surveyed, the proprietors reserved a lot " for the first settled minister." At the organization of the town, in 1768, the people were called " to see if they will agree to hire a minister to preach the gospel some part of the next year and raise a tax for that purpose," In 1774 steps were taken " to build a meeting house as near the center of the town as convenient." A tax of one hundred pounds was voted and committees were appointed to pur- chase land and materials. But the building here contemplated was not erected, probably, till near the close of the century. It had two stories of windows, a gallery on three sides, and a sounding board. It is still standing, having been used till within a few years as a town house. For a long time the town as such exercised its function as a religious society; but in 1805 "the broken situation of the inhabitants with respect to religious order," many having withdrawn from the majority because of different sentiments, led the town to form anew society, with Joseph Marsh, as moderator, and Freegrace Leavitt, as clerk. This organization continued till the removal of the church to Hartford village. The second Congregational society was organized December 25, 1827, at the village. Its present house of worship was erected the next year and dedicated January 8, 1829. The church and congre- gation at the Center were invited " to make the new meeting-house their place of worship," which they did soon after. The parsonage was built in 1848 and the chapel in i860. The church building was remodeled and a new organ purchased in 1872. The support of preaching has been mainly from the first by annual subscriptions, these having been payable weekly since 1875. The present pastor. Rev. S. Ingersoll Briant, began his labors in March and was installed May 20, 1875. The Congregatioiiai church of West Nartfiiif viAS orgSimzeA lune 3, 1830, Rev.

HARTLAND lies in the center of the eastern range of townships, in lat. 43" 34' and long. 4° 34', bounded north by Hartford, east by Con- necticut river, which separates it from Plainfield, N. H., south by Windsor and West Windsor, and west by Woodstock. It contains an area of 25,350 acres, originally granted by New Hampshire to Samuel Hunt and his associates, in seventy-one shares, by the name of Hertford, July 10, 1761. On the 23d of July, 1766, however, the territory was re-chartered to Oliver Wil- lard and his associates, by New York. The name of Hertford was retained until June 15, 1782, when it was changed to the one it now bears, by the following act of the legislature : — " Whereas, The town of Hertford lies contiguous to the Township of Hart- ford, which makes it difficult for strangers to distinguish which of said towns may be meant when either is spoken ; and many other inconveniences do attend the having two towns so near of one name in the State ; which to re- move : Be it enacted by the Representatives of the Freemen of the State of Vermont, in General Assembly met, and by the authority of the same, That the Township of land and incorporate Body, heretofore known by he name of Hertford, shall be hereafter called and known by the name of Hartland." The surface of the town is diversified with hills and valleys, most of which are only great enough in extent to form a pleasing landscape picture without retarding cultivation of the soil, which is of a rich, arable quality, producing large crops of grain and grass with comparatively little labor. The timber is that common to most of the towns in this vicinity. The territory is well watered by numerous streams, the principal of which are Quechee river, flowing through the northeastern part, and Lull brook, flow- ing through the southern portion of the township, emptying into Connecticut river. Many excellent mill-sites are afforded, some of which are utilized. In the extreme western part of the town the rocks entering into the geologica^ 138 TOWN OF HARTLAND. Structure of the territory are of the calciferous mica schist formation. This range is very narrow in extent, however, when there comes a large range of gneiss, extending quite to the center of the township, north and south; from this point to the Connecticut the rocks are mostly calciferous schist again, except a small bed of c/ay slate and a bed of talcose schist in the northeastern corner. No minerals of importance have ever been found. In 1880 Hartland had a population of 1,604, and in 1882 was divided into sixteen school districts and contained fifteen common schools, employing six male and nineteen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $2,069.65. There were 391 pupils attending common schools, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $2,530.20, with D. F. Rugg, superintendent. Hartland, a post village, contains two churches, (Congregational and Methodist), one hotel, two stores, a tin shop, harness shop, blacksmith shop, tailor shop, etc., and about thirty dwellings. It is located on Lull brook, nearly a mile from Connecticut river and about the same distance from the south line of the town. The brook affords several good water-powers, and on it, so near as to almost be said to be a part of the village, are a blanket fac- tory, grist-mill, saw-mill, and two sash and blind factories. The C. V. R. R. station is about five-eighths of a mile from the village, where is located the depot and an hotel. Hartland Four Corners is a post village located about a mile and a quarter northwest of Hartland village. It has one church (Univcrsalist), a general store, blacksmith and carnage shop, and about seventeen dwellings. North Hartland is a post village located in the northeastern part of the town, on Quechee river. It has one church (Congregational), two stores, woolen-mill, saw-mill, and about twenty-five dwellings. The railroad station of North Hartland is about a quarter of a mile distant. J. E.

F. Lyman's saic and shingle-mill, located on road 62, is operated by water-power and manufactures 400,000 feet of lumber, 500,000 shingles, and 15,000 lath per annum. F. Gilbert's foundry, located on road 56, was established by Darling & Gil- bert in 1862. Mr. Darling retired in 1866, since which time the business has TOWN OF HARTLAND. 139 been conducted by Mr. Gilbert. He employs three men and uses seventy-f;ve tons of iron annually. The Ottaquechee Woolen Mills, V. J. Brennan, superintendent, located at North Hartland, on the Quechee river, are operated by water-power, have 1,680 spindles, sixty looms, and employs seventy-five hands. The first settlement in Hartland was make in May, 1763, by Timothy Lull, who had previously been living at Dumnierston. Having concluded to settle in Hertford, as it was then called, he purchased a log canoe, and taking with him his family, which consisted of a wife and four children, and such furniture as they needed, paddled up Connecticut river. Arriving at the mouth of a stream just north of the southern line of the town, he anchored his boat and landed his family. Taking then a junk bottle, he broke it in the presence of his wife and children, and named the stream Lull brook — the name by which it has ever since been known. Proceeding up the brook about a mile, he came to a deserted log hut, situated upon the farm now owned by E. M. Goodwin. Here he commenced a settlement. For many years he suffered privations and hardships, " but possessing a strong constitution and a vigorous mind, he over- came all obstacles, accumulated a handsome property, lived respected, and died at the age of eighty-one years, generally lamented." He reared a family of nine children, of whom Timothy was the first male child born in the town. This birth occurred in December, 1764, on which occasion the doctress was drawn on the ice twenty-three miles, from Charlestown, N. H., on a hand-sled. Joab, son of Timothy, married Ruth Burlingame, of Weath- ersfield, and had eight children, six of whom are now living. Chauncey, son of Joab, married Laura Pratt, of Hartland, and had two children, Alfonso and Laura A., both of whom are living, the former in Hartland and the latter, Mrs. Laura A. Stevens, in Rutland. Other settlers soon followed Mr. Lull, mostly emigrants from Massachusetts and Connecticut, so that two years later, in 1765, the town had thirty inhabi- tants. Six years later, when the census of old Cumberland county was taken, in 177 1, the retuins show the town to have had within its limits forty-eight males under the age of sixteen, thirty-one between the ages of sixteen 'and sixty, one over sixty, thirty-five females under sixteen, and twenty-nine (one a negress) above sixteen, making a total population of 144 souls. In 1791, ac- cording to the census of that year, the population had increased to 1,652, mak- ing Hartland the most populous town in the county, containing nearly fifty in- habitants more than it does to-day. The town was organized and the first town meeting held, March 11, 1767, though the records do not state where it was held. The following list of officers were elected : OHver Willard, Esq., moderator and supervisor; Capt. Zadock Wright and Lieut. Joel Matthews, assessors ; Timothy Lull, treasurer ; Ensign Ta.intor and Lieut. Joel Matthews, overseers of highways ; Oliver Willard and James Harivood, overseers of the poor ; Nathan Call, collector ; and Capt. Wright, Timothy Lull, Ebenezer Call and Joel Matthews, con- 140 TOWN OF HARTLAND. Stables. According to the records no clerk was chosen until 1769, when Oliver Willard was elected to the office. The first justices appointed were Elias Weld and Thomas Cotton, in 1786. William Gallup was the first rep- resentative, in 1778. Though the settlement of the town seems to have moved along so smoothly, many privations had to be borne, much hard work had to be patiently per- formed, and the strictest economy maintained and the coarsest fare thank- fully received. Nothwithstanding all this, however, many happy hours were passed around the old fireside, at the " bee,'' or at the back-woods party. On the other hand, scenes of violence were not unfrequent, for they seem to be necessary concomitants cf a new settlement, let the settlement be where it will. One instance of the latter description may be mentioned. In 1782, a man by the name of John Billings was found guilty of some contemptible act and was punished therefor in such a manner as to cause considerable physi- cal suffering and was humiliating in the extreme. This punishment, however, does not seem to have been thought sufficiently severe by the majority of the people, for on the night of May 30th, a party of men composed of Jedediah Leavins, Phineas Killam, James Williams, Timothy Lull, Jr., Aden Williams, Timothy Banister, Simeon Williams, Joab Belden and William Miller, with Amos Robinson and Moses Morse of Windsor, "with force and arms, un- lawfully, riotously, and routously" assembled and assaulted the unfortunate citizen. As was more clearly set forth in the presentment of the grand jury, they " did beat, wound, and ill-treat " him by " placing him upon an old horse without a saddle, tying his feet under the belly of said horse, and hang- ing to his feet a heavy weight, and in that situation causing him to ride to a considerable distance, by which he suffered great pain and inconvenience." This particular instance of lawlessness seems to have been brought about by a feeling of dishke of the delay which usually accompanied the execution of the law. These offenders against good order were taught, however, that there was majesty in the law ; for they were prosecuted by Mr. Billings and were punished by pecuniary mulcts and were compelled to bear the costs of the prosecution. In 1786, another cause for riotous behavior came up, the main points being briefly as follows : During the summer of that year, "the sufferings of the people becoming severe, and their complaints loud, on account of the extreme scarity of money. Governor Chittenden, in the month of August, published an address to the inhabitants of the State, which was evidently dictated by a paternal regard for their welfare and happiness." In this care- fully considered paper, he earnestly exhorted his fellow-citizens to be indus- trious and economical ; to avoid, as much as possible, the purchase of foreign productions ; and to devote their attention to the raising of flax and wool and the various articles necessary for food and clothing, etc. Most of the people were inclined to suffer inconvenience rather than disturb the peace of the State, ceased to complain, and endeavored to quiet the murmurings of their TOWN OF HARTLAND. 1 41 neighbors. Others, however, who owed debts and could not obtain money to pay them, determined " to prevent the sitting of the courts in which judg- ments and executions might be obtained against them. By the terms of the statute, a session of the court of common pleas for the county of Windsor was appointed to be held at Windsor on Tuesday, the 21st of October. On the morning of that day, a mob of about thirty armed men, from Hartland and Barnard, under the command of Robert Morrison, a Hartland black- smith, and Benjamin Stebbins, a Barnard farmer, assembled near the court- house at Windsor, a little after sunrise. Though no movements to that effect were made, yet their obvious design was to hinder the sitting of the court. Stephen Jacob, the State's attorney, and Benjamin Wait, the high sheriff, waited on the malcontents, read them the riot act and several other acts relative to such assemblages, ordering them to disperse, which they finally did. On Tuesday, the 14th of November, a term of the supreme court was held at Windsor, when warrants were issued for the arrest of the rioters, and Mor- rison and several of his men were taken and jjlaced in confinement. Com- plaints were then exhibited against them by Stephen Jacob, in which it was charged that they, on the 31st of October, "with guns, bayonets, swords, clubs, drums, fifes, and other warUke instruments, unlawfully, and tumul- tuously did assemble and gather themselves together, to disturb and break the peace of the State ; " and that being thus assembled, they " did parade themselves in the front of the court-house in said Windsor in martial array,^ and with fixed bayonets did resist, obstruct, and hinder," the sheriff of the county and of the county court " from entering the said court-house, and there did impede from opening and holding the said court, then and there by law to be opened and holden." To these charges Morrison pleaded guilty and threw himself upon the mercy of the court. The court sentenced him to suffer one month's imprisonment; to procure bonds of ;^ioo for his good beh^ior for two years ; to pay a fine of yio, and to bear the costs of the prosecution. The punishment of the other offenders, who either pleaded guilty or were found guilty, was proportioned to the offences they had committed. Soon after the result of the trial had been announced, about fifty of the in- surgents, most of whom resided in Hartland, assembled under arms at the house of Capt. Lull with a fixed determination to rescue Morrison from im- prisonment. The court having been informed of these proceedings on the i6th of November, directed the sheriff to' procure assistance, proceed to the place where the insurgents were collected, arrest them, and commit them to prison. In obedience to these commands Sheriff Wait, who was also colonel of the third regiment of the Vermont militia, ordered Capt. Dartt, of Weath- ersfield, to march his company to Windsor. On the evening of the same day the soldiery of the latter place assembled to aid the civil authority. The court and some of the higher military officers then called a council, and having taken into consideration the character of the mob, determined that it would 142 TOWN OF HARTLAND. be true policy to take them by surpiise. In conformity with this conclusion, Col. Wait, with a force of forty men well armed, set out for the stronghold of the insurgents very early on the morning of the 17th, and reached it between the hours of three and four. Having evaded the notice of the guards by taking a circuitous route, Wait and his men entered Capt. Lull's house in two divisions, and after a short, but " very resolute" attack, captured twenty-seven of the insurgents. During the conflict the leaders of the revolt escaped. So expeditiously was this performed that Wait's party returned to Windsor and lodged the culprits safely in the jail at that place before sunrise. Though the victory over the insurgents was gained with comparative ease, yet several wounds were received by the sherifTs party. Stephen Jacob, the State's attorney, did not escape without injury, and Wait himself was " badly wounded in the head." Still he was able to attend court, and, observed a chronicler of that time, would " have headed his regiment if necessity had required it." The results of this attack would have been far more disastrous, but for the humanity and firmness evinced by the military. The conduct of Capt. Dart was highly applauded, and it was publicly an- nounced at the time that he and his company were entitled to "the particu- lar thanks of the freemen'' of the State. On the i8th, the State's attorney exhibited a complaint against the insur- gents, in which they were charged with having assembled for the purpose of hindering the supreme court from ])roceeding with the trial of certain per- sons who had been " informed against for a high misdemeanor," and for the purpose of rescuing Robert Morrison, " then a prisoner in the goal at said Windsor, pursuant to a legal order from said court." In answer to these ac- cusations the prisoners pleaded guilty, and appeared "very humble and peni- tent." In consequence of these manifestations, they were "treated withgreat tenderness by the court." Fines were imposed upon them, and they were also required to discharge the cost of the suits and to procure bonds for their good behavior for one year. Fears had been entertained that an insurrection of the people was about to happen, which would endanger the government of the State and jeopardize the li\es and liberty of those who refused to join it. Preparations for such an event were accordingly made, and on Saturday, while the trial of the insurgents was in progress, six hundred soldiers under the command of Brig.-Gen. Peter Olcott assembled under aims at Windsor. Meantime the insurgents, having received re-inforcements, had collected at Lull's house to the number of a hundred. While in doubt as to the course they should pursue, information was brought to them of the preparations for defense or attack which were in progress at Windsor. Satisfied that the gov- ernment was too strong to be overcome by their puny efforts, the rioters dis- persed, studious only to avoid detection and disgrace. Early the following week the soldiers returned to their homes, and peace was agam restored to ! ' the distracted community. Thus ended this miniature Shay's rebellibn. j^| :;|| In one of the State's attorney's complaints against the rioters, the peisons TOWN OF HARTLAND. 1 43 informed against were as follows: Amos Kendall, Benjamin Hole, Silas Hole, David Hole, and Abijah Capen, of Windsor; Benjamin Munsill, Timothy Wooster, Eleazer Bishop, Jr., Paul Rogers, Oliver Rogers, Samuel Danforth, Sylvanus Wood, John Jenne, Elzi Evans, Asa Evans, Zera Evans, Elish Gal- lup, Jr., James Kelsey, and WiUiam Hopkins, of Hartland ; and Josiah Clark, and Josiah Hurlburt, of Woodstock. Let us take a look at the country in the vicinity of these stirring scenes as it appeared in 1807. At the Four Corners there were no buildings except the tavern, which stood on the southeast corner, a gambrel-roofed house occupied by Dr. Friend Sturtevant, who came here from Woodstock that year and was the only educated physician in the town, one other occupied by a Capt. Farwell, who owned and run a saw-mill on the brook, and a small school-house. On the road leading to Hartland village, or the Three Cor- ners as it was then called, there were no buildings until you came to what was recently known as the C. W. Warren place; below this there were dwellings in nearly the same places of those now occupied by Elisha Barrell, Wilson Britten, and the late residence of E. H. Bagley, also one opposite the large elm tree still farther east, and at which point the road turned to the north and )ed over the hill instead of passing directly east as it does now, coming into the village by the Quechee road. Near the corner of Ira Rogers' farm, on the north side of this road, stood one of the first stores in town, kept at this time by " Johnny " R. Gibson. At Hartland village the Con- gregational parsonage then stood as now; the hotel building, two stores, standing on the sites now occupied for the same purpose, three houses and Mr. Hamilton's blacksmith shop, with the school-house opposite the parson- age, constituted the settlement. Back or west of the Pavillion Hotel, kept by Lyman Childs, a large forest of pine timber extended northward and westward, covering all the hills in sight. Col. Oliver Willard, to whom and whose associates the New York charter was issued, was a prominent man in the public affairs of his day. He came to Hartland in 1763 and made the first settlement upon the farm now owned by Phmeas Willard. The first birth in the town was a daughter of Mr. Wil- lard. She died soon after, making the first death in the township. Gov. Paul Spooner was also an early settler. He made the first settlement on the farm now owned by Charles Gates and son, in 1770, and practiced medicine for a time. Mr. Spooner was for many years actively engaged in advancing the public interests of Vermont, and enjoyed the fullest confidence of the people of the State. He was a member of the council from 1778 to 1782, when he was chosen lieut.-governor of the State. In this position he was continued until 1786. He was judge of the supreme court in 1779, 1780, and from 1782 to 1788. During the years 1781-82, he served as judge and register of probate for Windsor county. In 1779 he was town clerk of Hart- land. ■ Subsequent to this he removed to Hardwick, Caledonia county, and was chosen first town clerk of that town, in 1 795. Of the respect with which the 144 TOWN OF HARTLAND. early officers of Veimont were treated, the following incident affords a good example : On one occasion the Rev. Elisha Hutchinson, the first minister of Pomfret, was preaching a serhion at a private house in this town, when Mr. Spooner entered the room. Pausing in the midst of his discourse, the rever- end minister informed his audience that he had " got about half through "his sermon, but as Gov. Spooner had come to hear it, he would begin it again. Then turning to a woman who sat near him, he said : " My good woman, get out ofthat chair and let Gov. Spooner have a seat, if you please!" Mr. Spooner was accommodated and Mr. Hutchinson repeated the first part of his sermon, much to the edification, it is supposed, of those who had already heard it. Daniel Spooner, brother of the governor, came to HaitJand about the same time of the former, making the first settlement on the farm now owned by his granddaughter, Sophia M. Gage. He married Abigail Monroe and reared nine children, eight of whom attained an age of over seventy years. Elder Timothy Graw, for many years pastor of the Baptist church, was the first settled minister in the town. He located on road 3, upon the farm now owned by J. H. Eastman. Mathias Russ, from New London, came to Hartland in 1763 or '64, to take charge of a grist-mill at what is now North Hartland. This was the first mill built in the town and the first in the county. Mr. Russ continued in charge of the mill several years, then followed farming the remainder of his life. He reared a family of eight children, all of whom settled in this and surrounding towns. Capt. Caleb Hendricks, from Massachusetts, was among the earHest settlers. He located, with his father, upon the farm now owned by J. and S. S. Walker. They brought with them two slaves, Cjesar Brcckey and his brother, and loca- ted therh upon a piece of land adjoining the farm. A rough stone now marks the colored men's graves and the spot where stood their cabin. Isaiah Aldrich made the first settlement upon the farm now owned by A. L Davis. Noah, son of Isaiah, was born and spent his life on the old farm. In 1852 the children of Noah removed to Mendata, 111., where they now reside. The Aldrich family stood high in the respect of their townsmen. Martin Cabot, who made the first survey of the town, receiving therefor a choice of a lot in the same, was also an early settler. Asa Taylor, from Connecticut, made the first settlement on the farm now owned by James L. Paddleford, where he reared seven children — Asa, Jr., Sam- uel, Alvin, Elias, Oliver, Sprague and Nancy. Elias married Azubia Goss, of St. Johnsbury, and had born to him Elias, Jr., Solomon, Chandler, Foster, Samuel, Azubia, Anna, Susan and Sopiiia. Eliphalet Rogers, born at Martha's Vineyard in 1756, entered the Revo- lutionary army when quite young, was captured by the enemy and was con- fined in an EngUsh prison seven years, when he made his escape. After the war he came back, married, and settled in this town, upon the farm now owned by Harris Milter, where he died March 12, 1 841, aged eighty-five TOWN OF HARTLAND. 1 45 years.

In early life Mr. Sumner's father had intended that David should be a collegian ; but young Sumner preferred the life of a business man, so he en- tered the store of the Lymans, at White River Junction, where he received the necessary training that made him so successful through life. In 1809 he also opened a store in Middletown, Conn., which he continued, with various changes of partners, down to 1856, while at one time he maintained another branch concern in Louisiana.

Afterwards it was known as the Univer- salist Benevolent Society, and since 1842 it has borne its present name. Tht first pastor was Rev.

C. K. Churchill, pastor. LUDLOW is an irregularly outlined town, lying in the southwestern part of the county, in lat. 43° 23 and long. 3° 43', bounded north by Plymouth, east by Cavendish and Chester, south by Andover and Weston, and West by Mt, Holley, in Rutland county. It was chartered by New Hampshire, September 16, 1761, to Jared Lee, Esq., and sixty-five others, in seventy- one shares, with an area of about 24,000 acres. October 16, 1792, however, 11,739 acres were taken from the western side of the town, towards forming the township of Mount Holly, in Rutland county. In surface, the town is diversified and pleasing. I'pon the west it is bor- dered by the Green Mountains, containing within its Umits the eastern de- clivity of a lofty summit known as the Center Mountain. In the eastern part is a lofty range of serpentine, containing the harder varieties of asbestos, talc and hornstone, and once, undoubtedly, formed the eastern barner of a large body of water, whose waves rolled over the central part of Ludlow and all that portion of Plymouth extending from the line of Ludlow to the source of Black river. That such a collection of water once existed, and that it was drained by the wearing away of the serpentine range through a long course of years, is evident from traces of the action of water upon the rocks, many feet above their present le\el in the bed of the stream, and from the succes- sive tiers of alluvial table-lands, which, at diflerent heights, and successively increasing distances from the river, now furnish the most fertile land in the town. In the southern ])art of the village is a curious elevation of earth, whose formation can only be accounted for by supposing that at this point two ^:tix-ams once mingled their waters in the lake, forming an eddy, and depositing the gravel and soil which the autumn and spring rains would loosen from the surrounding hills. And, in fact, the conformation of the country about shows that once a stream came from the northwest, in what is now the channel of Black river, and anotlior from the south between Center and South mountains and Bear hill, in what is now the channel of Jewell brook, and mingled their waters at this point. This elevation, called the Hogback, is about seventy-five feet in height, forty rods in length from east to west, and with just thickness enough from north to south to admit a nar- row foot-path upon its summit, and as steep as the earth and stones will lie. tOwit oiF lUdloW. tgl while on every side it stands perfectly detached from the neighboring hills, and surrounded by alluvial flats. Its composition is earth, pebbles, and small stones, all rounded evidently by the action of water, and without any of the angular points and sharp corners found on stones freshly detached from their native ledge, and arranged in regular strata consisting of alternate layers of earth, sand and pebbles, dipping at an angle corresponding with the sides of the hill. Below Cavendish village, in Cavendish, three miles below the point where the serpentine range crosses the stream, is another of these rocky bar- riers, which once dammed up the waters of Black river. The water has there worn its bed an hundred feet deep through cliffs of mica slate, for nearly a mile, leaving traces of its tremendous effort in the large and disjointed masses of rock and the rugged and overhanging cliffs which present themselves upon both sides of its channel throughout the whole course. Again, commencing at the head of the present rapids and passing off southerly through a portion of Chester into Springfield, through what is known as the gulf road, to the latter town, are traces of the ancient bed of the river, consisting of cliffs and large masses of stone, worn deep in various places, and presenting large and numerous cavities, evidently the result of the action of pebbles whirled by the eddies of the stream. The highest of the table-lands in Ludlow, of which there are three elevations, was undoubtedly formed by the lake while in its original form ; and the successive disruptions of the serpentine range, before mentioned, and the barrier at the head of Cavendish falls, would easily account for the formation of the two lower tiers. Black river, with its tributaries, forms the only water-course of the town, and affords many excellent mill privileges. It enters the town from the north and flows a southerly and easterly course, passing into Cavendish about three miles from the southern boundary of the town. In the upper part of its course it widens into four large basins, known as the Ludlow and Plymouth ponds ; the largest, in Ludlow, being nearly circular and one mile in diame- ter. This body of water has always been known as Ludlow pond ; but in August, 1881, a party of about 150 met on its shore and re-christianed it Rescue Lake. This name was given from the story of a Uttle girl of Caven- dish, who was lost in the woods three days, years since, and was at last found on a rock on the east shore of the lake, opposite EHas S. Pinney's place. The little girl in relating her experience, said she slept one night between a black sheep and two lambs. This sheep, however, was supposed to have been a black bear with its cubs. In the northwesterly part of the town is Tiney pond, several hundred feet above the level of the river, and nearly half a mile in diameter. No stream supplies it, but a small rivulet passes from it, tumbling from one rock to another in its rugged course, until, after passing half a mile it empties into Rescue Lake. There is another considerable col- lection of water in the western part of the town, and several extensive bogs on both sides of the river, evidently once the bed of mountain ponds. The soil upon the river is alluvial, and throughout the town is fertile and well 152 TOWN OF LUDLOW. adapted for grazing and cultivation. The lumber is mostly hard wood, the varieties of maple, beech, birch and ash predominating. The declivity of Center mountain abounds in spruce and hemlock, and the two highest of the table lands were found at the settlement of the town, heavily wooded with pine of the largest size. The prevailing rocks in the geological formation of the territory are the different varieties of gneiss and talcose schist. In the northwestern part there is quite a ledge of quartz rock, while serpentine and steatite abound in the eastern part, where is found also beautiful specimens of verd antique marble. Gold exists in small quantities along Black river and other parts of the terri- tory, while fine specimens of iron ore, in considerable quantities, are found. In 1880 Ludlow had a population of 2,008, and in 1882 was divided into nine school districts and contained thirteen common schools, employing two male and nineteen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $2,(99.06. There were 522 pupils attending common schools, while the en- tire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $2,618.06,- with William W. Stickney, superintendent. Ludlow, a post village and station on the Rutland division of the C. V. R. R., is beautifully located in the central part of the town, on Black river. It was incorporated December 21, 1832, and has about 1,500 inhabi- tants, five churches, (Baptist, Congregational, Methodist, LTniversalist and Roman Catholic), one academy, one graded and two district schools, a good hotel, two public halls, a weekly paper, a thoroughly equipped steam fire de- partment, a cornet band of eighteen pieces, one Masonic and one Good Temp- lar's lodge, three dry goods and general merchandise stores, three clothing, shoe, and gents' furnishing stores, two jewelry stores, one tin and stove store, one hardware, one furniture, and one crockery store, and one grocery, two drug stores, book store, and music store ; it has also one woolen- mill, one doll-cab and toy manufactory, one listing-mill, two lumber-mills, two grist-mills, and the usual compliment of mechanic, millinery and black- smith shops, etc. Aside from this it is surrounded by an industrious and thrifty farming community, and is, altogether, a lively and charming place. The Black River Acailcmy, located at the village, was incorporated by the legislature in 1834. It has a fine building occupying a commanding situation near the center of the village, and for beauty of prospect is un- rivaled by any place in the vicinity. The present officers of the institution are as follows : Hon. W. H. Walker, president ; Surry ^\^ Stimson and L. G. Hammond, vice-iircsiilcnts; Hon. F. C. Robbins, secretary; and Alva F. Sherman, treasurer. Warner 6- Jlxiii's job priiitiiii^ office, located on Main street, was estab- lished by Mr. Warner about thirty years ago, and continued by him until 1879, when Mr. Hyde was admitted as a partner. Oiiniii- C. Barney s marble shop, located at the village, was establisheii in 1867, where he has since done a flourishing business. tOWN OF LUDLOW. 153 The Ludlow Woolen Mills, J. S. Gill, of Boston, proprietor, operates 3,000 spindles, thirty-eight looms and seven sets of cards. They employ about 150 operatives and manufacture 150,000 yards of broad goods per year. The Ludlow House, H. L. Warner, proprietor, is finely located on Main street. The building has lately been extensively repaired and is now a thoroughly good hotel in all respects. Good accommodations are offered summer boarders, who, with the facilities for fishing, hunting, drives, etc., find this a most desirable place to spend the summer. {LUDLOW HOUSE.) Whitcomb &= Atherton, millers and bakers, have their mill located on Jewell brook and their bakery on Main street. They do a business of about $100,000.00 per annum. John P. Warner's machine shop was established in 1865. James Roberts's listing manufactory, located on Jewell brook, turns out about 900 pounds of listing per week. The Ludlow Toy Manufactory, located on Black river, was established by a stock company, in 1873, with William H. Walker, president. The works employ about thirty hands in the manufacture of toy wagons, etc. William J. Barretfs corn-hulling establishment, located on Pond street, was estabhshed by him in 1877. He hulls about 100 bushels per annum. Anson J. Sawyer's tannery, located on Jewell brook, was established by James B. Horr, about forty years ago, and came into the possession of the present proprietor in 1853. Mr. Sawyer tans about 20,000 hides per year. William S. Lawrence's saw-mill, located on a branch of Black river, was built by Jonathan Carpenter in 1 838, and came into Mr. Lawrence's hands in,i87i. He manufactures about 300,000 feet of lumber per year. George D. Finney's granite works, located on road 16, turn out all kinds of monument and building work. The Freeman Stone Company was organized in 1876 by A. B. and S. D. Freeman, who carried on the business until 1882, when ex-Governor Redfield TOWN OF LUDLOW. 154 Proctor, of Rutland, became a partner. The works are located on Black river, about a mile and a half below the village, where the firm manufactures 2,000 gross of scythe stones and uses 2,000 tons of material per year, in the manufacture of soapstone goods, giving employment to twenty men. Paul D. Sears' s shingle manufactory is located on Snell brook. Mr. Sears does a flourishing business. Joseph Harris's saw-mill and chair-stock factory located on Jewell brook, b operated by a forty horse-power engine and cuts about 100,000 feet of lumber per month. Eli P. Kingsbury's saw-mill, located on Jewell brook, cuts a large amount of lumber per year. The settlement of the town was commenced in 1783-84, when Josiah and James Fletcher, Simeon Read, James Whitney and Ephraim Dutton came on from Massachusetts and began clearings upon the alluvial flats bordering up- on Black river. In 1791 the population had increased to 179 persons. The town was organized and the first town meeting held March 31, 1792, at the house of Stephen H. Read, when Jesse Fletcher was chosen town clerk, and Peter Read, afterwards for many years pastor of the Congregational society, was elected representative. Jesse Fletcher, born in Westford, Mass., November 9, 1762, married Lucy Keyes, of Westford, August 8, 1782, and came to Ludlowas above mentioned. From that time till his death he resided on the same farm in Ludlo.v, where all his fifteen children (except the oldest) were born. Charlotte, his first child, was born November 8, 1782 ; Stephen, born January 23, 1784, was killed by being run over by a sleigh February 18, 1790 ; Michael was born February 12, 1785, and died at IndianapoUs, Ind. ; Fanny married Dr. Calvin Bliss ; Jesse, born September 21, 1787, died at Mount Clemens, Mich. ; Elijah, born July28, 1789, died in Lynchburg, Va. ; Timothy, born March 10, 1791, settled in Lynch- burg, Va., where he lived till the war of the rebellion, when he returned to the old homestead where he was born, and where he died August 5, 1870; Lucy, born June 25, 1792, married Dr. Richard Williams, of Newark, Wayne county, N. Y., and is the only survivor of Jesse and Lucy Fletcher ; Stephen, born January 10, 1794, died at New Orleans, La., August 17, 1818; Laura, born September i, 1796, married Dr. Calvin Button, of Newark, Wayne county, N.

He was the elev- enth of fifteen children, most of whom, it is remarkable, lived to receive an education and go out into the world. Under the teachings of an excellent father and of a mother of more than ordinary ability, he early learned those habits of industry and self-reliance which, coupled with upright principles, uni- formly characterized his manhood life j while performing all the duties exacted from a boy on a New England farm he very soon manifested a great desire for a classical education. This desire was stimulated by the concurring advice TOWN OF LUDLOW. 155 of his mother and the witnessed success of his brother, as he had a few years before completed his college course. Depending on his own earnings for the means of obtaining an education he set about preparing himself for college. At his request his father gave him his time and he went from home. We next find him in Pennsylvania engaged in a brick-yard ; but his brickmaking shortly came to an end. His intelhgence soon attracted the attention of a gentle- man named Foote, by whom he was induced to go to Ohio. He studied law at Urbana, O., with Hon. James Cooley, and ultimately became Mr. Cooley's law partner. In January, 1821, Mr. Fletcher settled in Indianapolis, Ind., where he practiced law successfully and held the office of State senator seven years. He died there May 26, 1866, his death resulting from a fall from his horse. He had a family of eleven children. Miles J., the twelfth child of Jesse, was born November 11 1799, and resided in Marlboro, N. Y. Dexter, born June 5, 1801, died October 25, 1803 ; Louisa, born April 12, 1804, mar- ried Joseph Miller, of Newark, Wayne county, N. Y., where she died. Stough- ton A., born August 22, 1808, married Maria Kipp, of Newark, N. Y., Aug- ust 25, 1836. She died in 1841, when he married for his second wife Julia Butler, February 20, 1844, and for his third wife, Mrs. Julia A. Johnson, of Chester, Ohio, and resided in Indianapolis till his death, in March, 1882. Stoughton A., son of Calvin, born in Indianapolis, Ind., in 183 1, is a banker there and has a manufactory for building stationary engines and boilers, em- ploying about 600 men. He owns the old homestead in Ludlow, which he occupies as a summer residence. The valley of the Black river in Vermont, beautiful and picturesque hills on either side, has no fairer spot than that on which is situated the old Jesse Fletcher mansion near the eastern edge of Ludlow, as you cross the Une of Cavendish. In the west the Green Mountains seen through the avenue of maple's which border the highway. The house is situatedon the second of three successive bottoms of a primeval lake. It overlooks a meadow in front watered by a remarkable spring discovered by Jesse Fletcher in 1783, a spring which has been neatly re-arranged with marble masonry by Stoughton A. Fletcher, Jr., and dedicated with appropriate inscriptions to the descend- ants of the discoverer. Here was the home of Je=se Fletcher and Lucy Keyes his wife, where they reared their fifteen children. The tall Lombardy poplars that once lined both sides of the roads are with one exception gone, but a great elm tree spreads over the western end of the mansion while stately maples cast their grateful shade over the roadway. One of the chil- dren (Lucy) is still living. The old mansion is the property of Stoughton A. Fletcher, of Indianapolis, Ind., the grandson of Jesse and the son of Calvin, under whose generous hospitality the old place is a rallying point for the tribe of Jesse. Ephraim Dutton, one of the first settlers, was born in Westford. He was a carpenter and joiner by trade and built the first house and first church in town. Mr. Dutton reared a large family of children, none of whom are now living. 156 TOWN OF LUDLOW. The youngest, wife of Dea. Spaulding, died in April, 1883. Lucinda, another daughter, married Ira W. Archer, in 1828, and reared six children, viz: Sarah, Richard, Rosina, Selina, Victoria and Albert. Richard and Albert enlisted in the late war; Richard was killed and Albert died in a hospital, of disease. The four girls are living, Sarah and Rosina in Minnesota, and Selina and Victoria in Ludlow. Ephraim died at about the age of eighty years. Asher Spaulding, a native of Massachusetts, came to Ludlow in 1795 and built a log house upon the farm now occupied by Baldwin Spaulding. He died at Ackworth, N. H., of hydrophobia, contracted by skinning the body of a mad fox. Arteraas, son of Asher, born here April 28, 1801, has been an extensive farmer and cattle dealer. Dexter, son of Artemas, follows the same business. Mrs. Sally H. Moore, widow of Abel Moore, resides with James Pollard, upon the farm where she was born eighty-eight years ago. She has never ridden in a railroad car, stage nor steamboat, never attended a circus nor Fourth of July celebration, and has indulged in only one picnic. Charles Stimson, born in Mendon, Mass., came to Ludlow in 1799, at the age of four years, and has resided here ever since His son, Surry W., born here, now resides at the village. Orrin Bates, one of the early settlers of the town, came here from Stur- bridge, Mass., in 1800, and located about a mile south of Ludlow village. He reared a family of five children, four of whom are living, and died in 1816, aged thirty-seven years. Of the children, Norman resides in Chester, Warner in Sherburne, Cornelia in Plypiouth, and Almira in Ludlow village. Thomas Bixby, from Westford, Mass., came to Ludlow at an early date, locating upon the farm now owned by Calvin Bixby, which has never since been out of the family possession. Calvin, who resides at the village, has reared a family of seven children, all but one of whom are living. Edward Wilder, born in Sterling, Mass., came to Ludlow about i8o8, locat- ing where Daniel Cooledge now resides. He died herein 1866, aged eighty- seven years. Four of his nine children are now living, viz. : Edward L. and Josiah S., of Ludlow, Isabel E. Howe, of Manchester, N, H., and Lestina Brown, of Afton, Iowa.

In 1819, a union meeting-house was built, now used for the Academy and town hall, and was occupied by the Baptists nearly one-half of the time, they being members of the churches in Andover, Cavendish, and Chester. April 18, 1825, the first Baptist church was organized, consisting of forty members, and the following year Joseph Freeman was ordained as its pastor. His successors were Elias Hurlbut, J. M. Graves, and A. AUem June 30, 1835, seventy-eight members, dissatisfied with the low standard of temperance prevailing, and despairing of effecting any reform in the old or- ganization, withdrew, and formed the second Baptist church. In their cove- nant was this pledge : " We engage to use no ardent spirits except for medici- nal purposes." Most of the remaining members of the first church subse- quently united with the second, and the first ceased to be recognized by the Woodstock Association in 1837. J. M. Graves, the pastor of the first church, was among those who formed the second. Darwin H. Ranney became pastor in 1836; William Upham in 1837 j J. M.

NORWICH hes in the northeastern part of the county, in lat. 43' 45' and long. 4° 42', bounded north by Thetford, in Orange county, east by the Connecticut river, which separates it from Hanover, N. H., south by Hartford, and west by Sharon. It was chartered by New Hamp- shire, by the name of Norwhich, July 4, 1761, to Samuel Slafter, Jacob Fen- ton, Judah Hatch, Eleazer Wales and about fifty others, containing an area of 23,040 acres. The " h " was not retained in spelling the name. The surface of the town is uneven, yet nearly all of its territory admits of cultivation, producing all kinds of grains and grasses, and some excellent orchards. The soil is well watered, the princijial water-course being the Con- necticut river, which is here about thirty to forty rods in width. Ompompa- noosuc river enters the township from Thetford, two miles west of the Con- necticut river, and, after running three miles across the northeast corner, min- gles its waters with those of the Connecticut. It is a rapid stream, with a gravelly bottom, about six rods in width, and affords anumber of good mill-sites. TOWN OF NORWICH. 159 Bloody brook rises in the northwestern part of the town, and, passing a little westerly of Norwich village, falls into the Connecticut just below Norwich depot. This stream also affords some good mill-seats. Its name, says an old tradition, is derived from a bloody battle fought here during the French war. This is undoubtedly erronious, however, as the name was undoubtedly derived from a family by the name of Blood, residing near its banks. On each of these streams are fine tracts of intervale. Smalley's brook is a small stream which falls into the Connecticut between the Ompompanoosuc and Bloody brook. Mosher's brook rises in the southern part of the town and unites with the Connecticut in Hartford. The timber of the meadows was originally elm, bass, ash and butternut ; on the plains and hills near the rivers, principally white pine, and further back maple, beech, birch, hemlock, etc.. The largest body of water is Tilden pond, which Ues about a quarter of a mile from the Connecticut, near road 32. It covers an area of about twelve acres. The Messrs. Tilden, its owners, have lately stocked the pond with black bass. The principal rock entering into the geological structure of the town is of the calciferous mica schist formation. This underlies the whole of the western and central part of the territory. The eastern part of the town is made up of two parallel ranges of clay slate and talcose schist. In the northern part, east of Union Village, there is a small bed of steatite. Extensive beds of iron ore exist in the northwestern part of the township, and copper has been discovered in the eastern part. Cyanite, or sapphire, is also found in lami- nated masses connected with quartz and mica. Beautiful specimens of actyn- olite are found, and anthracite in small quantities. The Passumpsic railroad crosses the eastern part of the town, with stations at Norwich and Pompa- noosuc. In 1880 Norwich had a population of 1,471, and in 1882 was divided into seventeen school districts and contained sixteen common schools, employing six male and twenty-one female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate sal- ary of $1,739.24. There were 326 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 3 ist, was $1,41 2.08, with C. P. Flanders, superintendent. Norwich is a post village located in the southeastern part of the town. It has two churches, two public schools, one store, a blacksmith shop, tan- nery, paint shop, carriage shop, and about twenty-five or thirty dwellings. The village is located on a broad street with two others branching .therefrom all well shaded and lined with residences, many of which are a century old. The oldest of these is the one now occupied by Mrs. Messenger, built by Capt. Joseph Hatch in 1771. Just off Main street is the old Norwich Mili- tary Academy building, which was used for educational purposes for many years, until the Norwich University was removed to Northfield, a few years since. PoMPANOOSUC (p. o.) is a hamlet and railroad station located in the north- eastern part of the town, consisting of about half a dozen dwelhngs. l6o TOWN OF NORWICH. Beaver Meadow is a hamlet located in the western part of the town. Union Village is located in the northern part of the town, lying parly in Thetford. In Norwich it contains a Methodist church and blacksmith shop, in Thetford a general store, postoffice, saw-mill, provender-mill, paint shop, etc , and altogether about twenty dwellings. Leslie S. Patterson's saw-mile, on road 13, is built on a water privilege deeded from Goshen Bartlett to Hezekiah Johnson, in 1776. The original mill was washed away and the present one was built about fifty or sixty years ago. It was originally a saw and grist-mill and was rebuilt as such, but the grist-mill was taken out in i86g. In 1872 it was purchased by Mr. Patter- son, who has since operated it. It contains a circular board saw, two split- ting saws, band-saw, planer, and shingle machine, and a small provender- mill. It turns out eight to ten car loads of chair-stock, and about 800,000 feet of rough and dressed lumber annually. Messenger df" Hazen's tannery, located at Norwich \illage, was built by Dea. Sylvester Morris about fifty years ago. After a few years he sold it to Asa Blanchard who operated it about fourteen years then sold out to E. Wadsworth. Mr. Wadsworth retained the property until 1868, then sold to the present proprietors, who tan about 8,000 sides of leather per year. IV. L. Booth's saw-mill, located on road 49, is operated by water-power and cuts 300,000 feet of lumber annually. /. B. Hand's grist-mill, located on road 69, is operated by both steam and water-power, has three runs of stones and grinds 30,000 bushels of merchant corn, and does 20,000 bushels of custom grinding per annum. There is also sold here about 100 tons of cotton seed meal per year. G. A. Ames dv Co.'s steam saio-mill, located on road 44, is operated by a 120 horse-power engine and is supplied with all kinds of modern lunober machinery. The firm employs twelve hands, and has facilities for turning out 4,000,000 feet of lumber per annum. A. W. Knapp' s provender-mill and carriage repair shop is located at Nor- wich village. Mr. Knapp does a good business in both branches of his estab- lishment. He has been located here about thirty years. In August, 1 76 1, the month following the date of the charter, the town was organized in Connecticut, though the organization was doubtless but to fulfill one of the requirements of the charter, and was m reality nothing more than a proprietors' meeting. In 1762, the township was apportioned by lot, and although the neighborhood was for miles around covered with an untrodden wilderness, it did not deter the advance of civilization. In 1763, Jacob Fenton, Ebenezer Smith and John Slafter came here from Mansfield, Conn., built a camp and began improvements. There were at this time two men in Hanover, N. H., and a small settlement in Lebanon. In J>uly, Smith and Slafter left Fenton on Wednesday, for the purpose of hoeing corn in Lebanon, and returning on Saturday evening, when they found Fenton dead in the camp. It appeared afterwards that Mr. Freeman TOWN OF NORWICH. i6l happened over here, and finding Fenton sick and alone, he tarried with him till he died, and then went to Lebanon for help to bury him.

Very few, if any, towns in the State possess such a variety of mineral wealth, or abound in objects so replete with instruction, or so full of interest as those in Plymouth. Drift phenomena are abundant and interest- ing. Terraces of considerable magnitude, lateral and terminal moraines, drift and glacier striae, old river beds, extensive erosions, — the extent of some of them being definitely fixed, by the existence of pot-holes 342 feet above the valley, upon the mountains, — are all found in great perfection. Here, too, tertiary deposits, embracing brown hematite, kaolin, quartz sand, and man- ganese, are fcund to a considerable extent. Upon the western side of the ponds, beds of conglomerate rock abound, in which may be seen pebbles, im- bedded in a chloritic matrix, that insensibly pass into talcose schist, the rounded pebbles gradually becoming flattened as though they had become softened and been subjected to powerful pressure. The flattened pebbles gradually spread out as the beds approach the north. At the distance of one 170 TOWN OK PLYMOUTH. mile from the spot where conglomerate rock abounds in great perfection, and to the north in the same beds, there may be found a rock which usually would be denominated talcose schist, in which there are apparently interstratified beds or seams of Scoffs cheese factory, located at Tyson Furnace, manufactures twelve tons of cheese per year.

TOWN OF POMFRET. 177 Moses Pollard was born in New Ipswich, N. H., February 29. 1772, mar- ried Abigail Boynton, and came to Plymouth in 1792, locating at what is known as the " Kingdom," where the Rooks Mining Company have erected their works. Of his family of ten children, all attained an age of over fifty years, and five are still living. POMFRET lies in the northern part of the town, in lat. 43° 42' and long. 4° 31', bounded north by Sharon, east by Hartford, south by Woodstock, and west by Barnard. It was chartered by Benning Wentworth, governor of New Hampshire, July 8, 1761, by the name it still bears, probably given in honor of Pomfret, Conn., where many of the pro- prietors resided, to Isaac Dana, and his associates. According to the charter deed the town was to contain 23,500 acres, divided into seventy-two shares and bounded as follows : " Beginning at the southwest corner of Hartford, thence sixty-two degrees west five miles and one half, then north thirty-four degrees east seven miles, thence south sixty-two degrees east five miles and one half to the northwest corner of Hartford, thence south thirty-four degrees west by Hartford line seven miles to the first bound mentioned." The township extends across the highland that separates the waters of Quechee river from those of White river; the northeasterly corner being on the northerly side of White river, and the southeasterly corner is on the north- erly side of Quechee river ; while the southwesterly corner is in the valley of Mountain brook, so-called, a branch of Quechee river, and the northwesterly corner is in the valley of Broad brook, a branch of White river, T his ridge of highland passes through the township from northwest to southeast in a direction nearly parallel with the two rivers, and in some places reaches an elevation of nearly 2,000 feet above the ocean. In the northern part is a somewhat extensive basin formed by two spurs of hills that extend nortwardly from the main ridge, that on the west closing in on the northerly side and nearly intersecting with the more easterly spur. This basin, with the sur- rounding slopes, contains about twenty valuable farms that are exceedingly fertile. Here, too, a stream is found afifording sufficient power for driving mills and other machinery, passing in an easterly direction through a deep and narrow gorge, and emptying into White river a short distance above the village of Hartford. The southerly part of the town, or the part that lies between the main ridge on the north and Quechee river and Beaver brook on the south, is divided by nearly parallel ridges or lines of hills that extend southerly from the main ridge. Along the valleys between these lines of hills we find some of the most productive farms in the township. The streams or rivulets that flow through these valleys are either branches of Beaver brook, which enters the town from Barnard about two miles northerly of the south- westerly corner and passes into Woodstock a short distance easterly of the 13 178 TOWN OF POMFRET. middle of the southern boundary, or are directly branches of Quechee river, which flows through the southeasterly corner of the town. Mountain brook, so called by. the first surveyors of the town, in 1761, flows through the south- westerly corner of the township. Between this streann and Beaver brook is an almost unbroken ridge of highland that rises to a considerable elevation above the valleys on either side, yet affording some of the most valuable land for farming purposes, being cultivated in many places to the higher summits. The town contains but few rocky ridges and where the surface rises too high for convenient tillage it is admirably fitted for grazing purposes or for the cultivation of the forests. The geological structure of theterritory is composed almost wholly of calcij- erous mica schist, though there is a small bed q{ granite, syenite and protogine found in the southern part of the town. No minerals of importance have ever been discovered. The town is almost entirely an agricultural district, a fair idea of its being given by census report as compiled by Melvin H. Mil- ler in 1879, which for that year was as follows : Hay, 5,695 tons ; corn, 3,j83 bushels ; wheat, 1,677 bushels ; oats, 9,580 bushels; potatoes, 13,785 bushels; apples, zo,977 bushels; wool, 39,994 pounds; butter, 100,333 pounds; cheese, 3,440 pounds ; and maple sugar, 46,534 pounds. In 1880, the town had a population of 1,139, ^'^^ '" '882 was divided into nine school districts and contained nine common schools, employing three males and twelve female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $1,148.75. There were 255 pupils attending common schools, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $1,885.56, with Mrs. Jennie P. Gibson, superintendent. PoMFRET is a small post village located in the central part of the town. South Pomfret is a small post village located in the southwestern part of the town. North Pomfret is a small post village located in the northeastern part of the town. The town poor-farm, consisting of 300 acres, is located in the western part the town on road 37. It has at present ten indigent ones under its shelter. The farm is managed by John C. Keith. 6'. E. Livingtoris chair-stock factory, located at South Pomfret, employs from ten to twelve men. Judd L. Maxham's saw and cider-mi//, located at South Pomfret, turns out about 200,000 feet of lumber and 300 barrels of cider per year. Henry Babcock's saw-mill, located in the northeastern part of the town, on Mill brook, saws all kinds of soft and hard-wood lumber. The first meeting of the proprietors of Pomfret was held in Pomfiet, Conn,, at the house of Zachariah Waldo, on Monday, September 7, 1761, when Eben- ezer Williams, Esq., was chosen moderator, and Isaac Dana, Jr., proprietors' clerk, who was '' sworn to the faithful performance of his trust in said office before Timothy Sabin, Esq., one of his Majesty's justices of the peace in the TOWN OF POMB'RET. 1 79 county of Windham." At this meeting it was " Resolved to lay out one hun- dred acres to each proprietor according to quantity and quality as near the town plot as should be found convenient (exclusive of meadowland and mountains)." Also, " voted that Amasa Sessions, of Pomfret, in the county of Windham, William Winchester, of Southborough, in the county of Worces- ter, Messrs. Simeon Sessions, Isaac Dana, and Seth Paine, Jr., all of Pomfret, or William Dana, of Ashford, in case Mr. Paine refuses, be.a Committee to view, lay out and make partition as above." It was also "voted to grant eleven shillings lawful money on each proprietor's right in said property to defray the expenses of said committee in viewing, laying out and making par- tition as above." It was also resolved that the committee " should proceed on said business some time in the week after next (one fortnight after said meeting)." The meeting was then adjourned to meet at the same place on the fourth Monday (23d day) of November, 1761. Soon after this adjournment three of the committee, Isaac Dana, WilHam Winchester and William Dana, with Theophilus Chandler as surveyor, pro- ceeded to the wilderness to locate the township according to the description given in the charter. They reached the town and began the survey about the first of October, 1761, commencing at the southwesterly corner of Hart- ford at a beech tree on the westerly bank of Ottaquechee river. That point was supposed to be the southwesterly corner of Hartford, the northwesterly corner of Hertford, now Hartland, the northeasterly corner of Woodstock, and the southeasterly corner of Pomfret, and is a few rods northwesterly of the iron foundry and scythe factory lately owned by D. Taft & Sons. From this point they marked the southerly line five and one-half miles, in a westerly direction, crossing Mountain brook near the western terminus of the line. They then run the westerly line in a northerly direction seven miles, and at the northern terminus left a bound fully marked, bearing the date October 2, 1761. They next laid a road ten rods wide through the center of the town north and south, and laid out seventy " town lots " of one acre each, thirty-five on each side of the road at the center of the town. These lots were four rods wide on the toad and extended back therefrom forty rods and numbered back and forth from the southwesterly corner, that lot being numbered i, that on the oppo- site side being number 2, the western side containing the even numbers and the eastern side the odd numbers. They then proceeded to lay out what is now termed the first division of lots, agreeable to the vote of the proprie- tors, viz. : one lot of one hundred acres to each of the proprietors, one lot for the propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts, one lot for the first settled min- ister of the Gospel, one lot for the benefit of a school in said town, and one lot for a glebe for the church of England, as by law estabhshed. The committee then returned to Connecticut, drew a plan of the township, and of all the sur- veys thus made, which was laid before the meeting of the proprietors on the fourth Monday (23d day) of November, i76i,when it was accepted by a formal vote. I go TOWN OF POMFRET. To determine each proprietor's lot, a number corresponding with that each lot was written on a slip of paper in the presence of the meeting, and it was then " voted that the lots [papers] all be put into a hat together and deliv- ered to the moderator of the said meeting, and that he shake them together and call the name of a proprietor and the clerk of said proprietor should put his hand into the hat and take out a lot and open the same, and set the number of said lot against the name so called, and so proceed till the whole were taken out, or drawn, entering the number of each lot to ye name called." This method was carefully observed and the number of each lot was entered to the name of the proprietor so called by the moderator. At this meeting it was also voted to levy an additional tax of six shillings on each proprietor's right, making in all seventeen shiUings per right for laying- out the town. It was also voted to allow each of the committee four shil- hngs per day and expenses. The expenses of each was estimated at three shillings per day, as the whole cost of the survey amounted to ,^53 2d, which amount.was audited and allowed by the proprietors. It must be remembered that at this time all of the country north of No. Four, now Charlestown, N. H., was an unbroken wilderness. The old French war had been raging, terminating in 1760, only a year previous to the date of these proceedings. During the period of this war a military road was cut through the forest from No. Four to Crown Point, passing through what is now the southerly part of the township of Plymouth. This was the nearest approach of anything like civilization to Pomfret at the time of its survey and allotment. In the spring of 1762, Samuel Sleeper began the settlement of Newbury, on the Connecticut river, and in 1763, Timothy Lull commenced the settlement of Hertford, now Hartland. In March, 1762, an effort was made by the proprietors of this township, to arouse a spirit of emigration, and at a meeting held on the last Wednesday (31st) of March, it was voted to pay ;^i los to each of any number of proprietors, not exceeding ten, who would enter upon their respective rights and labor three months, and ;^ i 103 more to each one of them who should labor six months, to be paid when they had completed the labor. A tax of six shillings was laid on each right for paying this bounty. At a meeting held at Hollis, N. H., on the isth and i6th days of June, 1762, additional inducements were offered by extending the time, or limit, in which the work could be done to one year from the first of December of that year, and by voting an additional sum of six shillings. At this meeting it was also voted to rase a tax of eighteen shillings on each right to defray the expense of procuring the charter. In September, 1763, a committee was appointed to lay out and make a road from the township to Connecticut river, at a point where it would be most for the interest of the township ; but whether such road was marked we have been unable to determine, as no report of such a committee has been found. In November of the same year a meeting a was held at Oxford, TOWN OF POMFRET. l8l Mass., and adjourned to meet at the same place on the 3d Monday of May, 1764; but it is not probable that a meeting was held at that time, for no report of it is found in the proprietors' book records. About this time the land title controversy between New York and the New Hampshire Grants arose. How much this miniature war affected the value of the rights in this new township of Pomfret, or how much it tended to check the spirit of immigration and impede the settlement of the town ■cannot now be known; but during the summer of 1762, fifteen shares or rights belonging to delinquent tajc-payers were sold for non payment of taxes, bringing but a little more than two cents per acre. So much had the excite- ment of procuring the charter and effecting a settlement of the new town- ship passed away that no meeting of the proprietors, as near as can be learned, from November 14, 1763, till January, 1770. Sometime during the year 1769, the subject of effecting a settlement of the territory was again agitated, and a few stern, hardy young men proceeded to the township to make the first necessary steps towards a settlement by throwing up the walls of their rude log huts, the humble beginning of their future happy homes. On December 1 1 th of that year, a memorial signed by eighteen of the proprietors, representing thirty-six of the rights of the town- ship, was presented to John Winchester Dana, proprietors' clerk, requesting him to call a general meeting of the proprietors on the last Wednesday (31st day) of January, 1770, at Woodstock, Conn. At this meeting Simeon Ses- sions was chosen moderator, and William Dana, clerk. The proprietors voted to go on and settle the township the coming summer, voted to clear a convenient road so far into and through the township as the commitee chosen for the purpose should think best, voted to lay out a second division of one hundred acre lots, on to each proprietors' right, choosing Simeon Sessions, William Dana and David Williams a committee for that purpose, and also voted a tax of $2.50 on each proprietors' right to defray the expenses of the same. Early in the spring of 1770, preparations were made for effecting thesettle- ment of the town, and some of the energetic young men resolved to proceed with their families to the site of their future homes in the forests of eastern Vermont. The first family to reach the township was that of Bartholomew Durkee, from Pomfret, Conn., consisting of his wife and five children. Mrs. Durkee was a daughter of Elnathan Keyes, of Pomfret, Conn., a woman of undoubted courage and great force of character, one well fitted to be the wife of a pioneer. Arriving at Hartford, Vt., they stopped at the house of a Mr. Burch, who lived on the northerly side of Ottaquechee river, about one mile above Quechee village, on the residence of the late James Udall, Esq. From this place the family proceeded on foot, following a snow-shoe path, drawing their furniture on hand-sleds. Late in the afternoon of March 6, 1770, they arrived, at their destination, where the walls of a rude cabin had been thrown up the previous year, and in which, without roof, doors, or windows, they pre- 1 82 TOWN OF POMFRET. pared for the corning wintery night. Bark was placed over one corner of the room, or enclosure, as a shelter for the bed, a fire was built upon the ground in another corner, logs were split for a floor, upon which was spread the first meal in their wilderness home, blankets were hung up for doors and windows and the preparations were completed for their first night's slumber in their new home in the midst of the dense, silent forests of Pomfret. Asmorning dawned, the mother, looking through the gloomy forest and over the full depths of the winter's snows, saw before her the sad, lonely and destitute home for her five helpless children, and her fortitude, for the moment, gave way and grief moistened her eyes and choked her utterance. The husband saw the distress of his beloved wife, and immediately exclaimed that she should not be made to live in that dreary forest, but that they would all return to Connecti- cut and spend their days with their friends. This thought aroused the energy, pride, and fortitude of the noble hearted women, and in characteristic language she utterly denounced the idea. This decision was never regretted. Withthe I eturn of summer came the birds, the flowers and sunshine, prophetic of the glad future when they gathered their loved ones about them in their happy home, and gave thanks to Him who had kept them through the trials and vicissi- tudes through which they had passed, and changed the gloom of their first night's experience in the forest to the bright sunshine that then surrounded them. Thus began the first settlement in Pomfret. In the course of a few days the Durkee family was joined by John Chedel and family. Mr. Chedel came from Ashford, Conn., March 8, 1770, and set- tled upon the place now occupied by O. M. Chedel. Mr. Durkee's family only preceding him two days. At this time he was living with his second wife, his first wife having died, leaving him two sons, John and Timothy. The second Mrs. Chedel was Rachel Allen, and became the mother of nine children — ^three sons and six daughters. She died January 18, 1791, and Mr. Chedel attained an advanced age. His son John located in Providence, R. I., and Timothy settled in Barnard, Vt. The other sons, Asa, George and Daniel, all settled in Pomfret, where many of their descendants now reside. George succeeded his father on the homestead, where his son, O. M., as before mentioned, now resides. In 1771 the town had thirty-nine inhabitants, according to the census of Cumberland county, taken at that time. In 1791 this population had in- creased to 710, and many fine farms had sprung into existence. " The true test of civilization, however, is not found in the census returns, nor in the size of the cities, nor the crops produced ; but in the kind of men turned out." Pomfret can brave this test with impunity, for during its first century the sturdy town turned out twenty-five clergymen, thirteen lawyers, twenty-five physicians, two or three editors, five or six professional teachers, and during the war of the rebellion fifteen commissioned officers. The first town meeting was held in March, 1773, when John W. Dana was chosen supervisor and town clerk; Abida Smith, Benjamin Bugbee, Darius TOWN OF POMFRET. 183 Sessions and John Bacon, constables. No selectmen were chosen. In ad- dition, John W. Dana was chosen moderator, overseer of the poor, commis- sioner of highways, and one of a committee to lay out a burying-ground. The first justice was John Throop, in 1773. John W. Dana was the first represen- tative, in 1778. The first birth was that of Rachel, daughter of John and Rachel Chedel, Novem- ber 18, 1770. The first male child was John Durkee, December 25, 1770, and received one hundred acres of land from the proprietors. The fourth child born was Judah Dana, son of John W. and Hannah Dana, April 25, 1772. He married at an early age, removed to Maine, and occupied a seat in the U. S. senate. Rachel Chedel died April 27, 1777, the first death in the town. John Winchester Dana, son of Isaac Dana, one of the principal proprietors, came here in 1770, having, by his father's death, inherited Isaac's share in the town. He first built a log house, though the location is not known exactly. He next built a frame house on the site of the present residence of his grand- daughter, Mrs. Persis C. (Dana) Hewitt. Later, he built a large dwelling in the immediate neighborhood, which was pulled down about thirty-two years ago. He also built a saw-mill, the first in the town, and manufactured brick for a time. He married Hannah P. Putnam, daughter of Gen. Israel Putnam, and reared a family of thirteen children, all of whom attained an adult age. At his death he left a large landed estate to be divided among his heirs. Isaac, son of J. W., died on the old homestead. Betsey married Jonathan Ware, a lawyer, who was a man of considerable literary talent. Benja- min died in Waterford, Ohio. Judah died in Maine. Israel P. removed to Danville and engaged in mercantile pursuits. Hannah P. married Zebulon Lyon and died in Pomfret. John W., Jr., died in Cabot. Daniel died in Woodstock. Sarah W. became Mrs. Elisha Smith and died here. David died on thejold farm, where his daughter, Persis Hewitt, resides. Eunice died in Cornish. Schuyler died in childhood, and Polly died unmarried, at the age of thirty years. John Throop was one of the earliest settlers in Pomfret. His deed of land from the proprietors was executed in 1769, and is recorded on page i, vol. i, of Pomfret land records. He was town clerk from i778_to 1789, was judge of probate for the district of Hartford from 1783 to 1792, and probate register from 1783 to 1786, and from 1791 to 1794, inclusive; was a judge of the supreme court in 1778, '79 and '80 ; was a member of the legislature in 1778, '79, '87 and '88, and held various town offices. He died in 1802, and the farm he lived on is now only occupied as a pasture. Thomas Vail, from Long Island, N. Y., came to Pomfret in 1773, locating upon the farm now owned by his great-grandson, Homer W. Vail. Mr. Vail was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and was one of the company raised at the time of the burning of Royalton, in 1780. He married Hannah Brown and reared ten children, all of whom attained a mature age, and died at the age of seventy-five years. i84 TOWN OF POMFRET. John Eraser, a native of Scotland, was one of the early settlers in Pomfret. Daniel, the eldest of his family of nine children, settled in the southern part of the town, where Edwin Maxham now resides. He married Polly Dix, of Sudbury, Mass., and reared seven children, four of whom, James, Daniel, George and Mary (Mrs. Adams), are living. William Whitman, a Revolutionary soldier, was taken prisoner by a band of Tories about the time of the surrender of CornwaUis, and was held by the enemy at New York city until the close of the war. At an early date he came to Pomfret and settled upon the farm now owned by Austin Howard. He was twice married and reared a family of ten children, five of whom are now living, viz : Ozro, livmg in Cincinnati, Ohio ; Charles R., a selectman of tiartford, residing in Quechee village ; William, also a resident of Hart- ford; Jane (Mrs. Harry Allen), in Pomfret; and Sarepta, widow of Levi Cowen, a resident of Quechee village. Mr. Whitman died in 1842, aged eighty years. Ebenezer Winslow came here at an early date and was soon after joined by his father, Samuel Winslow. Ebenezer kept a tavern here for many years, and died here March 4, 1838, aged seventy-seven years. His son, Gordon, kept the hotel for a long time, represented the town three years, and was assistant judge of the county court several years. Jonathan Reynolds, another of the early settlers, located in the south- western part of the town, where his grandson, Samuel R. Gilbert, now resides. Adam Howard came here at an early date and located in the eastern part of the town, where his great-grandson, F. O. Parker, now resides.

The cider-mill was added to the saw-mill in 1877, and has the capacity for manufacturing twenty-five barrels of cider per day. The first settlement within the limits of the township was made as early as 1753, by Daniel Sawtell, Jacob Sawtell, Oliver Sawtell, Combs House, Oliver Farnsworth, Samuel Douglass, Joseph Douglass, Noah Porter, Nathan- iel Powers, Simeon Powers and Simeon Powers, Jr. These settlers, at the close of the French war, made a futile effort to secure from Governor Went- worth a patent of the lands which they had improved. He took no notice of their petition ; but, however, on ihe 20th of August, 1761, gave a charter of the township of Springfield to Gideon Lyman and sixty-one associates, the large majority of whom were residents of Northampton, Mass., and its vicinity. No one of these persons became an actual settler, it is believed. At a meeting of the proprietors, held in Northampton, on the 19th of July, 1762, measures were taken to secure the ejectment of the first settlers from the lands which they occupied. This action resulted in judgment against TOWN OF SPRINGFIELD. 223 "John Nott and others," in the spring of 1764. Nott and most of his asso- ciates, however, became permanent residents of the town. The first settler under the charter was John Kilburn, who is said to have purchased a right in 1 76 1, and to have entered upon it shortly after. As the first allotment of land among the proprietors was made on the 21st of June, 1762, he could not have been in possession previous to that date. Simon Stevens, (see page 52,) a native of Canterbury, Conn., who had become familiar with this locality while in military service, returned in 1762 to make the spot on which he had encamped while on an expedition against Crown Point his home. To no one man, in those early years, was the town more deeply indebted. He enjoyed the confidence both of the proprietors and the residents of Spring- field, and " by his example and individual efforts he did much to alleviate the wants and add to the happiness of the settlers.'' He early confessed his faith in Christ, and was a member of the Church of Christ from its organiza- tion in 178 1 until his death, in 18 17. The settlers came in very slowly, and were but a handful in number at the organization of the town, which probably occurred in the spring of 1764, though the only authentic papers extant bearing on the subject are two war- rants among the "Stevens papers," now in possession of Hon. Wm. M. Pingry. They are as follows : — Province of ) To Simon Stevens, Constable of Springfield New Hampshire. \ and Province aforesd. — Greeting — In his Majesties name you are hereby required forthwith to Notifie & warn ye Freeholders and other Inhabitants of sd.

During that year a meeting " to choose town officers agreeable to the charter" was called on the 13th of March, at the house of Joseph Little. George Hall was chosen moderator, and the meeting adjourned until the 26th inst. Of that meeting no record is extant, but the organization was probably then effected. No further record of town action is preserved until April, 1769, at which date the simplicity of the town organization indicates a scanty population. Two years later we have the first authentic statement of the number of inhabitants. By the New York census there were in Spring- field, on the 16th of January, 1771, twenty-seven families, and a total popu- lation of one hundred and forty-one persons, seventy-five of whom were males and sixty-seven females. During this year a further allotment of land was made by the proprietors. The region previously open for settlement lay between the Black river and the Weathersfield line. This locality proved the most attractive to the new comers, and here for many years the population was the most dense. On the 21st of December, 1775, a form of agreement, preserved by the Association in New York, pledging its signers to unity of action and efficient endeavor to carry forward the measures of the Continen- tal Congress, was returned from Springfield with fifty-one signatures. As the returns sent to the Committee of Correspondence were to include the names of those who refused to sign, and as no such were given, it is clear that every citizen of Springfield, at that date, was loyal to the cause of American lib- erty. The number of signers enables us to judge approximately the total population at that time, which could not have been more than two hundred and fifty. By the first constitution of the State, each town having eighty taxable in- habitants within a period of seven \ears after the establishment of the consti- tution, was entitled to two representatives, and all others to one. Colonel John Barrett was chosen the sole representative from Springfield, December, 1777. He had been a member of the convention which framed the constitu- tion, and was apparently one of the most efficient members of the assembly, as his name appears often as chairman of important committees. No town record of elections to the general assembly has been preserved from this time until January, 1783, when the town chose George Hubbard and Simon Stev- ens. But there is found a list of the second general assembly in which the name of Lieut. Samuel Scott appears as the only member from Springfield. TOWN OF SPRINGFIELD. 225 There could not, therefore, have been eighty taxable inhabitants previous to 1779, nor a total population of four hundred. Labin Knights came to Springfield among the early settlers and located upon the farm now owned by his son Samuel, where he died at the age of seventy- six years. Labin's son Nahum, born here in 1805, married Sarah Williams, and reared nine children, four of whom are living. The house Mrs. Knights now occupies, on road 3, is said to be the first frame house erected in the town. It was built by John Griswold, who kept an hotel and store in it for many years. James Randel, one of the early settlers, came from Durham, N, H., locat- ing at what is now called Spencer Hollow, where he took up a large tract of land.

Their daughter, Acsah W., still resides here. Ezra Parker came to Springfield at an early day and located upon the farm now owned by Cornelius Hogan, and died here at the age. of ninety years. His son Solomon also died here at an advanced age. D. Bowen Parker, son of Solomon, now resides on road 7r. Solomon Shedd came to this town, from Lunenburg, at an early day, locat- ing upon the farm now occupied by Lydia and Mary A. Shedd, on road 74.

He married Rachel Johnson and reared fourteen chil- dren, two of whom, Lydia knd Rosina C, are living. The latter is the wife of Oran Gould, and reside^ in Ludlow. Abraham Lockwood, born in 1751, came to Springrield in r768, locating upon the farm now owned by Seymour Lockwood, on road 38, and died here at the age of eighty years. Only one of his children, David, residing at Spring- field village, is now living. William Lockwood, from Providence, R. I., came to this town in 1768, locating at Springfield village, where he built the first mills. He owned a large tract of land in this vicinity, married Sarah White and reared a large family of children. His son Benoia, born in 1764, married Mary Williams and settled at North Springfield. He reared a family of seventeen children, seven of whom attained an adult age. Only one, Rhobia L., of North Spring- field, is now living. Benoia died in 1820, his wife in 1834. Daniel Gill came to Springfield, from Rhode Island, in 1776, locating upon the L. Barry farm. He died a few years after, at Sing Sing, N. Y., while on his return from a journey to the west, leaving six children, — John, Amos, 15 2 26 TOWN OF SPRINGFIELD. Whitford, Betsey, Martha and Mary. Amos located upon the farm now owned by O. F. Wood, where he died in 1847. Daniel A., son of Amos, born Sep- tember 9, 1796, now resides on road 16, the oldest native born resident of the town. The house he occupies with his son, D. O. Gill, was built in 1799. John Williams, from Providence, R. I , came to Springfield in 1780, locat- ing upon the farm now owned by C. Olney, where he died at the age of one hundred years. (-apt. Abner Bisbee came to this town [previous to 1780, located on road 8, and resided here until his death. Elisha, one of his seven children, born in 1780, married Mary Grant, of Weathersfield, reared fifteen children, and died in 1841. His wife died in 1863. Elisha did a great deal of the town busi- ness, holding the office of justice of the peace, etc. His son .■\bner, born in 1806, now occupies the old homestead. Lemuel Whitney was born in Leicester, Mass., in 1743. His father Joshua, was descended from John and Elinor Whitney, who landed in Bos- ton in 1635. His mother, Mehitable Wilson, w.is of Scotch descent. He went with his father's family to Spencer, .Mass., during his minority, and in 1778 to Tolland, Conn., where he lived two years. VVhile living in Tolland, and also during the last years of his residence in Spencer, he engaged in the manufacture of saltpetre, which was used to make gunpowder for the Ameri- can army. He, happily, received his pay, not in Continental currency, but silver. Owing to his occupation, he served less in the army than most men_ of his time. He was enrolled as a minute man, and served two terms of three months each in the field, being present at the surrender of Burgoyne. In 1780, being unable from lack of material longer to continue his saltpetre works, he decided to try his fortune in the new State, and first visited Spring- field, Vt., in September of that year. It is related that after contracting for his farm he walked to Spencer, Mass., a distance of eighty miles, in one day. In December, 1780, he moved his family to Springfield and settled on the farm now owned by C. Miller, where he spent the remainder of his life. He at once interested himself in the welfare of the town, taking a prominent part in all public affairs, especially in the formation and well being of the " First Church of Christ.'' His is the first name written on the church records, and he continued to take an active and prayerful interest in it through life. He gave it his moral support, his money, his work, and taught his children to do the same. There is still in the family a deed of two pews bought by his two eldest sons, in 1794, for which they paid ";^iS lawful money,'' "^^3 los. to be paid in building material, and the remainder in good wheat or neat cattle." The deed runs to the eldest son, Cyrus W., the second son not being twenty-one years old when the contract was made. Lemuel Whitney himself owned a pew in a more desirable location, but after his election as deacon, in 1801, he always sat in the "deacon's pew.' When it is remembered for what wages men then worked, it will be seen that this was a large sum of money for two boys to raise for such a purpose. TOWN OF SPRINGFIELD. 227 VMi Most subscriptions of that kind were then paid in wheat or cattle, and Dea. Whitney often redeemed such offerings in silver, to the great relief of the parish and the minister, while he trusted to his own shrewdness to save him- self from loss. In March, 1781, Lemuel Whitney received private information that Shem Kentfield, an idle tavern lounger who fled from Charlestown, N, H., the autumn before, threatening vengeance on the town^ had been seen in Springfield with two comrades, on his return to Charlestown. Mr. Whit- ney immediately took means to alarm the people of Charlestown, and raised a small company of men to pursue the traitors. For several days the people were on the alert and in much excitement. The three men first seen were taken in Charlestown and three others on Skitchawang mountain, but it was supposed that a much larger company escaped. Kentfield was sent to West Point, and being a deserter from the American arm)', was hanged. At the close of the war Mr. Whitney confessed that he had never seen Kentfield, as was supposed, but had his information from Dr. Abram Downer, who saw Kentfield, with whom he was well acquainted, near the Weathersfield line, and accused him of designs against Charlestown. Kentfield admitted the charge, said he had a company of fifty men, and proposed to kill Downer least he make public the plot. He was allowed to live, however, after making the most solemn promises of secrecy. Kentfield always believed Downer had been false to his promises, and died calling down frightful imprecations upon him. Lemuel Whitney married Thankful Griffith, in 1769, a shrewd, keen, self reliant woman of Welsh descent. Mr. Smiley, the first settled minister in Springfield, used to speak of her in terms of highest praise, always ending his encomiums with : " She was a nice woman, a fine woman, a good woman, and a very notable house-wife." They had seven children, Cyrus, Benjamin, John, Lemuel, Sally, Joseph and Elijah, of whom the oldest and youngest only settled in Springfield, and are both remembered by the older citizens as worthy and honored men. Elijah succeeded to his father's oflSce of deacon of the " First Church of Christ." Lemuel Whitney died in February, 1813, aged seventy years. His wife died in 18 18, aged seventy-two years. Thomas Smith, from Grafton, N. H., came to Springfield soon after the ■close of the Revolutionary war, locating on road 6. He married Margaret Luther, whose father was also an early settler, and reared seven children, all of whom attained an adult age. He died at the age of seventy-one years, and his wife at the age of seventy-five years. Three of their children are now Hv- ing, viz. : William, in Barre, Washington county ; Ann (Mrs. A. Tuttle), in New York State; and Sally, at North Springfield.

His education was limited, as he attended nothing but the common school, and that only a portion of the time, and a few of the last of the years of his minority he was an invalid. When twenty- two years of age he entered the store of Peter Adams, on " East hill," in the town of Andover, as a clerk, where he remained five years, and then went into business on his own account. After remaining there some time he went to Chester and went into the mercantile business with Nathaniel Fullerton. In 1 83 1 he moved to Springfield, and forming a co-partnership with Sylvester TOWN OF SPRINGFIELD. 233 Burke, opened the store now occupied by his son. Afterwards Josiah Barnes was admitted to the firm, which was then Field, Burke & Co. February 16, 1832, he married Louisa, daughter of Daniel and Annah Lenthal (Ames) Griswold, by whom he had four children, as follows : Walbridge Abner, born April 26, 1833; Cordelia Louisa, born October i6, 1834, died July 2,15, 1843; Fred Griswold, born January 1, 1842; and Isadore L., born August 31, 1835. It was largely through Mr. Field's instrumefntality that a postoffice was established at North Springfield, and he was appointed the first post- master. He was one of the incorporators of the Windsor County Mutual Fire Insurance Co., of the Springfield Savings Bank, and of the Bank of Black River, being for a number of years president of the latter institution. In 1835 and 1837 he represented Springfield in the general assembly, and was a senator from Windsor county in 1842-43. He was quite generally regarded as a man of good judgment, with the courage to express his own opinions, as well as to form them. Walbridge A Field, the eldest son of Abner, gradu- ated from Dartmouth college in 1855, having attended the preparatory school at Perkinsville, Springfield Wesleyan Seminary, at Springfield, and Kimball Union Academy, at Meriden, N. H. He served as tutor at Dart- mouth college for two years, attended Harvard Law School, and studied law with Hon. Harvey Jewell, of Boston, Mass. ; was a member for a term or two of the Boston city council; was appointed and served for some time as assistant United States district attorney for Massachusetts, under Richard H. Dana, Jr. During General Grant's administration he was appointed, in 1869, assistant attorney-general of the United States, under Attorney-Gen- eral E. R. Hoar, and resigned that position to practice law in Boston ; was a member of the law firm of Jewell, Gaston & Field, and afterward Jewell, Field & Shepard. In 1876 he was elected to congress from the third con- gressional district of Massachusetts, received the certificate of election, but after a long contest was denied a seat, but was re-elected in 1878. In 1880, at the expiration of his term in congress, he was appointed by Gov. John D. Long one of the justices of the Massachusetts supreme court, a position which he still holds. Mr. Field married Miss Ellen Eliza McLoon, of Rockland, Me., October 4, 1869, by whom he had two daughters. Mrs. Field died March 8, 1877. In 1882 he married again, his second wife being Miss Frances Farwell, of Rockland, Me. Fred G. Field, the youngest son of Abner Field, is a merchant occupying the store formerly occupied by his father. He represented his native town in the legislature of 1870 and 1872, and was a senator from Windsor county in 1880. July 2, 1872, he married Anna M. Tarbell, of Cavendish. Isadore L. Field, daughter of Abner, married Dr. D. J. Boynton, of Weathersfield, September 12, 1872. Dr. Boynton has given up his profession and is in the wood and lumber business. Amasa Woolson was born at Grafton, Vt., in 181 1^ and came to Spring- field in 1834, resided here two years, then was absent ten years, and in 1846 came back, and in company with Davidson & Parks commenced the manu- 234 TOWN OF SPRINGFIELD. facture of cloth finishing machinery, under the firm name of Davidson, Parks & Woolson. Mr. Woolson has also been president of the First National Bank since 1877. Jonathan Martin, born in Richmond, N. H., May 11, 1807, came to Springfield in 1838, beginning work in the cotton mill as a foreman, and in 1848 was admitted as a partner, under the firm name of FuUerton, Martin & Co.. remaining in the business until 1865, when he retired. Mr. Martin is an active worker in the cause of religion, and represented the town in the legislature one year. Frederick Parks was born in Charlestown, N. H., and came to Springfield with his father, December 3, 1839, commencing the manufacture of cloth dressing machinery. He died September 28, 1877, aged seventy-six years. Mrs. Parks now resides here, aged seventy-five years. Charles Sanders, one of the oldest business men of Springfield village, commenced the manufacture of furniture here in 1840, continuing the same until 1872, since which time he has dealt in furniture, on Park street. Udney Burke, now residing at Springfield village at the age of seventy-six years, came here in 1840, and engaged in mercantile pursuits with his brother Russell, continuing the same about ten years. He was also at one time one of the proprietors of the Vermont Snath Company, the firm being Frost, Burke & Co. Eli Burke, from Westminster, Vt., settled in Chester in 1801, and from there removed to Andover and subsequently to Pomfret, where he died at the age of eighty-four years. Three of elevfn children are now living, Dex- ter, in Sharon ; Ora, in Barnard ; and Sylvester in North Springfield. The latter came here in 1828, and in 1813 went into business with Abner Field, continuing the trade until 1831. He married Esther H. Shipman, of An- dover, in 1825, and has reared five children, as follows : Esther A., Elizabeth S., Lousa, Sidney S. and Amelia M. Two, Louisa and Sidney S., are living. Judge Joseph W. Colburn was born in Claremont, N. H., April 14, 1800, and came to Springfield about 1840, locating upon the " Mount Vale " farm. Mr. Colburn enjoyed only the educational opportunities afforded by the dis- trict school, yet he became a thorough read man, and possessed considerable literary ability, being an eminent agricultural writer. He was State senator three years, 1848, '49 and '50. assistant county judge four years, and was one of the founders of the Exchange Bank of Springfield, also its president, and when the bank was superseded by the First National Bank, was presi- dent of that institution, holding the position at the time of his death.

The church build- ing was erected in 1840, will seat 200 persons, and is valued at $600.00. 236 TOWN OF STOCKBRIDGE. S'l'OCKBRIDGE lies in the northwestern part of the county, in lat. 43" 45' and long. 4° 18', bounded north by Bethel, east by Barnard, south by Sherburne, and west by Pittsfield, the latter two towns in Rutland county. It contains an area of 28,100 acres, chartered by New Hampshire, July 21, T761, to William Dodge and sixty-one others, in seventy-two shares. It was also granted by New York to William Story and others, in 1761, the first Vermont grant made by that province, though it is doubtful if the charter was ever made out, at least it is not in existence now. The surface of the township is very uneven and in portions mountainous, though in the valleys of the several streams, and in some other localities,' there are large tracts of level, arable land. Taken as a whole the town makes a fine farming and grazing country, producing all the grains and grasses in- diginous to the latitude. White river, flowing through the northern part of the town, forms, with its numerous tributaries from the south and north, the water- course of the township. Tweed river and Stony brook, from the south, are the principal tributaries of the stream. Several excellent mill- sites are afforded. The rocks entering in the geological structure of the territory are of the tolcose schist and clay slate formation, the latter extend- ing across the town from north to south in ledges about one mile in width. Gold in considerable quantities has been found along White river. In 1880, Stockbridge had a population of 1,124, and in 1882 the town was divided into nine school districts and contained ten common schools, employing two male and twenty-two female teachers, to whom was paid ao aggregate salary of $1,179.08. There were 260 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $6,934.40, with E. L. Sawyer, superintendent. Gaysville is a pleasant little post village located in the northwestern part of the town, on White river. It has three churches, (Congregational, Metho- dist and Universalist,) one hotel, four general stores, a fine school building, a knit goods factory, a saw and grist-mill, blacksmith shop, harness shop, furni- ture shop, and about fifty dwellings. The river at this point is compressed into a channel but a few feet wide, affording an excellent mill privilege, and was formerly known as the " Great Narrows." Daniel and Jeremiah Gay established a factory here for the manufacture of cassimeres, giving the name of Gaysville to the village. Stockbridge is a small post village located in the northeastern part of the town. It has one church (Union), a grist and saw-mill, tub factory, black- smith shop, carriage shop and about thirty dwellings. The Gaysville Manujacturing Co. was organized January r, 1880, the firm being Nelson Gay and F. P. Holden, of Gaysville, A. A. Brooks, of Bethel, and Chester Downer, of Sharon. The company manufacture gentle- men's knit underwear, employing seventy hands and turning out about $125,000.00 worth of goods per annum. TOWN OF STOCKBRIDGE. 237 Isaac T. Jones's saw-mill, located on road 25, is operated by water-power and is supplied with an upright saw, bench saw, planer, etc., doing mostly custom work. Mrs. M. L. Richardson's grist and saw-mill and butter tub factory is located on road 12. The grist-mill is adapted for grinding meal and feed, and does only custom work. The saw-mill has an upright and bench saw, and does custom work. The tub factory turns out about 4,000 butter tubs per annum. The Stony Brooh Lumber Co.'s steam saw-mill is located in a corner formed by the towns of Stockbridge, Barnard and Bridgewater, called "No Town," it never having been chartered, organized with any town nor taxed. The mill is fitted with circular, board and bench saws, planing, matching and clapboard machinery, etc., having facihties for turning out 10,000 feet of lumber and 6,000 feet of clapboards per day. Charles O. Durkee's soapstone manufactory is located at Gaysville, where Mr. Durkee does a large business in the manufacture of all kinds of soap- stone goods. The settlement of Stockbridge was commenced by Asa Whitcomb, Elias Keyes, John Durkee and Joshua Bartlett, with their families, in 1784-85. The settlement increased slowly, the town only having one hundred inhabi- tants in 1791, when the first census was taken. The town was organized and the first town meeting held, March 27, 1792, when Elihu Holland was chosen town clerk ; Branch Whitcomb, constable ; Joseph Durkee, John Whitcomb and Samuel Wiley, selectman ; and John Whitcomb, representative. The first child born in the town was Joseph Wiley, May 3, 1 784. Hon. Elias Keyes was born in Hampton, Conn., in 1757, and died in Stockbridge, Vt., July 9, 1844. All trace of his boyhood is lost except that he entered the Continental army as the servant of some officer, early in the war of the Revolution, and is said to have been in the ranks subsequently, because he was a sergeant-major when discljarged. He seems to have mar- ried and made his way to Barnard, Vt, about 1780 or a little later, for when the Indians raided that town it is said he and others followed them to Stock- bridge, or beyond, and then saw the land in this town which he afterward took up and lived on for the most of his life. The proprietors had offered 400 acres of land to any man who would build a grist and saw-mill, and Mr. Keyes accepted the offer. Tradition says that in 1784, John Durkee came into town, cleared some land and prepared for a crop, and that in the spring of 1785 eleven families came and settled in various parts of the town, and in great hardship and much deprivation endured the trials and perils of the wilderness until they could make roads, clear fields, raise produce, build houses and enjoy the necessaries of life. Tales are told of men taking a bushel of corn on their backs and going to Woodstock to mill, twenty-five miles, and other devices to obtain supplies were ingenious and laborious. The inhabitants endured as those who see a great reward in the future, and 238 TOWN OF STOCKBRIDGE. hazarded, and doubtless shortened their lives by the effort to make a home or themselves and their posterity. Mr. Keyes is reported to have taught the first school in town, and it is quite certain that the demand of the patrons for attainments in the teacher must have been in accordance with the times, in which the three " R's " had a very limited definition. Whatever might have been the case in reference to education, however, he did erect and maintain the requisite mills on the Branch, by which he obtained his land and by which inhabitants were called into town and furnished with some means of building and sources for making bread. He was early made judge of the county court and officiated in that high capacity for a number of years, perhaps as much to the amusement as for the benefit of the people of the county ; but he must have secured their confidence to a great extent by some means, by Revolutionary fame or by judicial excellence, by legislative acumen or by party preference he was elected to the seventeenth congress, in 1820, and served, with how much acceptance let the records of that diy answer. Here was the pinnacle of his fame. By the loss of a suit at law with Justin Morgan, and by the loss of mills built at the mouth of the Branch of the river Tweed, he became disaflected and embarrassed, sold his home- stead and principal property and removed to Norfolk, N. Y. By unfortunate investments, and shrewdness or fraud of partners in business, he soon found himself without means, and returned to remnants of property left in Stock- bridge, pursued by sheiiffs and creditors, by whose legal processes he was confined to the limits of the debtors' jail for many years. From the time of his return from New York, he managed to renew his mills on the Branch, and near them hved and died. His eccentricities were the laugh of his neighbors, and the wonder of many ; but Judge Keyes had much humor, considerable wit, a beneficent spirit and not a little enterprize, and did something to make his name remembered. One of his last acts was to give to the town for the benefit of the poor a large tract of wild land which at the present time has value. He was very diligent himself and strove to make others so. Blessed with a prudent wife whose worth will long be re- membered, he was enabled to prosecute designs that he could not otherwise have accomplished, and no inconsiderable share of his reputation was doubt- less the product of her influence. Lot Whitcomb came from Massachusetts, and began a settlement in Bar- nard previous to 1780 ; but becoming frightened by the Indian attack of that year he returned to Massachusetts. A few years later he came back to Vermont, locating in the northern part of Stockbridge, upon the farm now owned by E. Twitchell. He had at this time eight children, six of whom were sons, who, with the exception of Justin, all located in the town and reared famiUes, and many of their descendants are still living here Reuben S. Whitcomb, who now resides on road 18, aged eighty years, is a grandson of Lot, and has owned his present farm sixty-one years. John Durkee, one of the first settlers, bought five hundred acres of land TOWN OF STOCKBRIDGE. 339 where his grandson, William H. Durkee, now resides. He reared a family of seven children, all of whom attained an adult age. Orrin, one of his four sons, was captain of a company in the war of x8i2, and served all through the war. He married Philena Rich and reared nine children, as follows : Nelson, Lyman, Luther, Seneca, WiUiam H., Harris, Joseph P., Charles O. and Mary E. Charles Green, who now resides with L. B. Morey, aged eighty-nine years, is the oldest man in the town. He was born at Williamstown, Vt., and came to, Stockbridge at an early date. Uncle Charley, as he is affectionately called, is something of a poet and his verses have frequently been in demand at town gatherings, etc. He married Mary Bowen, of Bethel, and has reared five children. One, Edwin P., is a lawyer of Akron, Ohio. Alfred F. is a large dairyman of Middlebury, Col., Julius C. is a county sheriff, residing in San Francisco, Cal. Uncle Charley was a soldier in the war of 1812, and held several of the town offices. Nehemiah Chandler was the first settler upon the farm now jaccupied by G. P. Hassam. He came from New Hampshire about 1809, having at that time a wife and one son, Enos, and subsequently had born to him three sons and six daughters. Enos became an active member of the Congregational church, married Mary Holland, and located upon the farm now occupied by his widow, who was his second wife. Augustus L., the eldest of his three sons, married Emily A. Smith, in 1856, and in i860 purchased the farm first located upon by his grandfather. Asa Chandler, of Pittsfield, and Eli, on road 30, are the only children of Nehemiah now living. Isaac Jones, from Hillsborough, N. H.. came to Stockbridge with his parents in iSii, locating upon the farm now occupied by Frank Thayer. He married Deborah Norris, and reared a family of seven children, six of whom are living. John Whitcomb, from Gardiner, Mass., was an early settler m Ludlow, arvl about 182 1 came to Stockbridge, locating on road 21, where he died July 13, 1848, aged eighty-three years. Abel Whitcomb, one of his youngest sons, now occupies the homestead, aged seventy years. Jeremiah Wilson was an early settler in Norwich. One of his eleven chil- dren, Peter, came to Stockbridge in 1821 and located near Gaysville. He married Anna Bingham in 1800, and had five children when he came here. The fourth of these, Jeremiah, now occupies the homestead, aged seventy- one years. Richard Kimball, son of John and Jerusha (Meacham) Kimball, was born in Pomfret, Conn., August 21, 1762, married Susannah Holden, of Mendon, Mass., February 7, 1788, and had born to him thirteen children. Eight of these died young, while the others reared families and two are now living. Richard took his young wife to Royalton immediately after marriage, in 17,88, and cleared a farm in the northwestern part of the town. About 1797, however, he removed to Randolph, where he died, November 23, 240 TOWN OF STOCKBRIDGE. 1828, aged sixty-six years. John Holden Kimball, the eldest of Richard's children who grew to manhood, was born in Royalton, May i, 1796, married Catharine Williams, June 11, 1828, and reared seven children, all of whom arrived at maturity. About 1836 he settled in Gaysville, where four of the younger children were born. He was a wheelwright and cabinet maker by trade, held the office of justice of the peace a long time, and died August 5 1873, aged over seventy-seven years. Hiram A., his eldest son, has made his name noted as an inventor, and now resides in Philadelphia, Pa. Hiram was the first man to enlist from Stockbridge, during the late war. Elbert B., the second son, is engaged here in mercantile pursuits, and is also a member of the firm of Gay, Kimball & Gay, button manufacturers, of Rutland. George H., the third son, born at Gaysville, April 23, 1843, enlisted in the 6th Vermont Vols., and was discharged for sickness, December 12, 1862. He now resides in Gaysville, and has six children. Daniel Gay, who with his brother, Jeremiah, built the brick factory at Gaysville in 1832, had seven children, viz.: Dwight, Daniel, Jr., Paul, Mer- rick, Juliana, Eunice and Harriet. Dwight and Paul represented the town in the legislature, and finally removed to Ohio. Daniel was a farmer, and at one time kept a hotel at Gaysville. He also served as a representative. He married Sally Baker and reared five child) en, Daniel E., Emily, Willard, Juliana and Myron. Daniel E., Dwight and Juliana still reside in Stock- bridge, and Myron in Randolph. Merrick married Sarah M. Whitcomb and reared six children, of whom Harvey D., Nelson, Charles M., Jennie (Mrs. H. H. Gilson), Fred and Minnie are living.

It was chartered by New Hampshire, August 20, 1761, to Gideon Lyman, Esq., and sixty-one others, in sixty-eight shares, containing an area of 23,000 acres. April 8, 1772, it was re-granted to Gid- eon Lyman and others, by the province of New York, with 20,000 acres. These areas were specified by charter, but the township really con tarns about 23,040, or an area six miles square. The surface of the town is quite broken and mountainous, though there are large tracts of level, arable land,',while the numerous hillsides afford many ex- cellent grazing farms. Ascatney and Little Ascutney mountains lie in the northern part of the town, the former lying partly in Windsor and West Wind- sor; Hawks mountain and Pine |hill lie in the western part of the town, the former extending into Baltimore and Cavendish, while Golden, Downer's and Camp hills He in the eastern and southern part of the township, all helping towards making up an exceedingly picturesque landscape. In the eastern part of the town, along the banks of the Connecticut, are located some of the best farms in the State. In the southeastern part of the township the river makes a bend, significantly called "the Bosv," from its resemblance to an ox-bow. This encloses several hundred acres of the most productive land, once principally owned by Hon. William Jarvis, more familiarly known as Consul Jarvis. Here Mr. Jarvis was engaged in breeding Spanish Merino sheep, having one of the most celebrated flocks in this country. Black river waters the western section of the town, afifoiding numerous privileges for mills and manufacturing establishments, while the meadows along its valley are re- markably rich and fertile. The principal rocks entering into the geological structure of the town are gneiss zxy^ calciferous mica schist, the former underlying the western and the latter the eastern part of the territory. The bed of Black river, for a con- 242 TOWN OF WEATHERSFIELD. siderable distance, is a solid mass of gneiss and mica slate, and upon either side of it are considerable elevations of the same material, interspersed with limestone quarries. Limestone also abounds in the northwestern part of the town. There are also in the western part beds of serpentine, lenguiform asbestos, tremolite, and crystalizeil sulphuret of iron. The asbestos is of a very superior quality. In the northern part are found quantities ol granite oi ^.n inferior quality. In 1880 Weathersfield had a population of 1,354, and in 1882 was divided into thirteen school districts and contained thirteen common schools, em- ploying three male and seventeen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $1,483.53. There were 274 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $1,701.13, with L. E. Rockwell, superintendent. Perkinsville is a post village located in the western part of the town, on Black river. It derives its name from a Mr. Perkins, a Boston capitalist, who, in 1830, purchased a small woolen fact ry here which he greatly enlarged, thus attracting other capitalists to improve the fine mill power and engage in the same enterprise. In 1835 a brick edifice, no by 46 feet, four stories in height, was erected for manufacturing cassimeres and satinets. In this there were eight full sets of machinery, moved by a water-wheel nineteen feet in diameter and twenty six feet long. When in full operation this estab- lishment gave employment to 150 hands, and manufactured 750 yards of cloth per day. In November, 1839, however, this expensive building, with all its valuable contents, was destroyed by fire. The village now has two churches (Baptist and Methodist), two stores, one hotel, a cotton mill, tin shop, car- riaG;e shop, and about 250 inhabitants, while just across the river, in what is called the "lower village," there is a saw-mill, carriage shop, blacksmith shop, and about fifty inhabitants. AscuTNEYViLLE, a Small post village located in the northeastern part of the town, contains a church (Congregational), two stores, a grist-mill and about seventy-five inhabitants. Amsden, a small post village located in the northwestern part of the town, was so named in honor of Charles .Amsden, who located there, coming from West Windsor, in 1849. It has one store, a grist-mill, saw and shingle-mill, blacksmith shop, two lime kilns, school house, and about sixteen dwellings.

WESTON lies in the southeastern corner of the county, in lat. 43° ly' and long. 4° 14', bounded north by Ludlow and Mount Holly, the latter in Rutland county, east by Andover, south by Landgrove, in Bennington county, and Londonderry, in Windham county, and west by Landgrove and Mount Tabor, the latter in Rutland county. Or^nally Weston formed a part of Andover, the early history of which is recorded on page 72. Extending down through the center of that town, as originally chartered, there arose a ridge of highlands known as Mt. Terrible and Markham mountain, rendering communication between the eastern and western portions of the township exceedingly difficult and tedious. This was endured by the inhabitants for many years, or until 1 799, when, on the 26th of October of that year the legislature divided the township, making this highland the dividing line, erecting that portion of Andover to the west of it, together with a tract of 5,000 acres, known as Benton's Gore, into the township of Weston. For this reason the early histories of Weston and Andover are indivisible ; hence, to the early history of Andover we refer the reader for the early history of this town. Weston lies entirely upon the eastern slope of the Green mountains, thus rendering its surface exceedingly broken and uneven. Still, though the land is rocky, there are many farms containing a fine, fertile soil ; but, in general, the land is much better adapted to grazing than agricultural pursuits. The grains and grasses grown, and the natural growth of timber, are of the varieties indiginous to most of the towns of the county, and yield a per- centage in about the same ratio. The scenery, climate, and commanding views are exceeded by few in any of the Windsor county towns, so that TOWN OF WESTON. 251 Weston, all in all, may be said to be a pleasant and profitable dwelling place. West river flows through the center of the town from north to south, and with its numerous tributaries from the east and west, forms the water- course of the territory. The Indian name of the stream was Wautasticook written also Wautastiqueg, and Wautastiquet. It rises in the northern part of the town and flows south into Londonderry. Near the south line of that town it receives Winhall river, from Winhall, and then takes a southeasterly course through Jamaica, Townsend, Newfane and Dummerston, uniting with the Connecticut in the northeastern part of Battleboro, having received the waters from 440 square miles of territory. The rocks that enter into the geological structure of the territory are almost entirely of gneiss formation. In 1880 Weston had a population of 987, and in 1882 it was divided mto nine school districts and contained ten common schools, employing three male and twelve female teachers, to whom was, paid an aggregate salary of $1,136.79. There were 234 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $1,240.08, with C. H. Walter, superintendent. Weston, a post village located in the southern-central part of the town, has three churches (Congregational, Methodist and Baptist), a good graded school, three general stores, a tannery, two butter tub manufactories, a chair- stock factory, saw-mill, grist-mill, and carding-mill, and a carpenter shop, harness shop and cabinet shop.

Waifs butter-tub factory, located on Cold Spring brook, turns out from 4,000 to 6,000 butter tubs per annum. 252 TOWN OF WESTON. Henry W. Ball's tannery, located on Cold Spring brook, was built in 1881 upon the site of an old tannery that was destroyed by fire in September, 1880. Mr. Ball employs six men, and tans 3,500 sides and 800 calf skins per year.

He obtained a grant of a portion of the town of Landgrove, and supposed he was settling thereon, but in reality got over the line into what was then Andover. locating on the river, just below the present site of Weston village. Here he erected a log house and made a small clearing ; but it was not long before he discovered his mistake and realized the fact that he could have no title to the land. He then removed to a location on what has since been known as Utley's branch. The next to come into the town was a Mr. Gear, who also remained but a short time. The next following Mr. Gear was John Simons, who came here in June, 1776, and came to stay; hence, to Mr. Simons is accorded the honor of having been the first permanent settler in the town. He located in the southern part of the town, where he reared a large family of sons, one of whom, Alvin, was the first town clerk and first representative, while another son, Major Edward, was the first child bom in the town. Following Mr. Simons came the Peases, Tidders, Halls, Dales, Spaffords, Waites, Carpenters and others, locating in various parts of the town.- The town was organized and the first town meeting held, March 3, 1800, when Amasa Piper was chosen moderator; Alvin Simons, town clerk; Amasa Piper, Augustus Pease, and Deacon Henry Hall, selectmen ; Augustus Pease, town treasurer ; David Spafford, Jr., Oliver Farrer and Gideon Pease, listers ; and Joseph BuUard, constable.

This town was originally a part of Windsor, chartered by New Hampshire, July 6, 1761, and re-chartered by New York March 28, r772. In 1793 Windsor was divided into two distinct parishes, and in 1 814 it was erected into two towns, Windsor and West Windsor. This division, however, only lasted one year, when they were re-united, only to be severed again, October 26, 1848. The subject of this division, however, is treated in detail in connection with the history of the town of Windsor, so it would be superfluous to go over the ground again at this point. The early history, first settlement, etc., of 2^6 TOWN OF WEST WINDSOR. West Windsor is necessarily identical with that of Windsor, therefore, for the early history of West Windsor, we refer the reader to the history of Windsor, following this chapter. This surface of West Windsor is pleasing and picturesque, though in some portions quite rocky, yet affording many fine, arable farms. Mill brook flows through the southern part of the town, in an easterly direction, into which flow many minor streams from the north. The prevailing rock entering into its geological structure is of the gneiss formation. In i88o West Windsor had a population of 690, and in 1882 the town was divided into eight school districts and contained eight common schools, employing three male and ten female teachers, to whom was paid an aggre- gate salary of $785.87.

The IViiulsor Woolen Alills, located on road 42, were built by Josiah Per- kins, in 1 83 1, and were purchased by the present proprietor, Samuel H. Leland, in 1880. The mill has 180 spindles and four looms, turning out about 25,000 yards of plain and fancy cassimeres per annum, employing twelve men. Ira C. SmalFs grist, cider and planing-mill, located at Brownsville, was built many years ago for a woolen-mill, and about twenty five years ago was convened into a grist and planing-mill, coming into the present owner's pos- session in 1878.

WINDSOR, one of the most important, most populous, and possess ing one of the most interesting histories of any of the towns in the county, lies in the ea.stern part of the same, in lat. 43° 29' and long. 4° 29', bounded north by Hartland, west by the Connecticut river, which separates it from Cornish hills of New Hampshire, south by Weathersfield,. and west by West Windsor. It originally contained an area of about 23,600 acres, chartered by New Hampshire to Samuel Ashley, Jacob Cum- mings and fifty-seven others, July 6, 1761. After the passage of the king's order in council of July 20, 1761, declaring the western bank of the Con- necticut to be the western boundary of New York, the people became alarmed for the safety of their land titles, and obtained another charter, from New York, July 7, 1766, and with it eight hundred acres of land addi- tional. Still, though the second patent was bestowed on the motion of some of the most influential citizens of the place, many of the inhabitants were opposed to the jurisdiction of New ^'ork, and denied the authority of the courts which were afterwards established by that province. This led to- complications, and on the 2d of March, 1772, the territory was re-granted by the same province, to Zedekiah and David Stone, and their associates. A third and last grant of the township made by New York, was to Nathan Stone and twenty-two other grantees, March 28, 1772. The first three para- graphs of the latter charter, which is too lengthy to print in full, read as fol- lows: — " IVIwrcas. our province of New York, in America, hath, ever since the grant thereof to James as Duke of York, been abutted and bounded to the east in part by the west baiik or side of the (Connecticut river; and whereas, of late yeais. a great part of our said province lying to the westward of the same river, h:ith, nevertheless, been pretended to be granted by divers instru- ments under the great seal of the province of New Hampshire, as though the same lands had then belonged to and were within the bounds and limits of the province of New Hampshire, and within the powers and jurisdiction of the government thereof ; and, whereas, among others, the tract of land by these presents hereinafter granted, part of our said province of New York, as aforesaiel, hath been so pretended to be granted and to be erected into a township of the said province of New Hampshire, by the name of Windsor, and, 7vhereas, our loving subjects, Zedekiah Stone, Nathan Stonft TOWN OF WINDSOR. 26 1 and David Stone, the same in behalf of themselves and twenty other per- -sons, by their humble petition presented unto our trusty and well-beloved Cadwallader Golden, Esquire, our Lieutenant-Governor, and then our com- mander-in-chief of said province of New York, and read in our council for •our said province of New York, on the twenty-ninth day of October, which was in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty-five, set forth among other things, — That there was a certain tract of land lying in our said province of New York, commonly called and known by the name of Windsor, a little more than six miles square, beginning at a black ash tree standing on the west bank of Connecticut river, marked with the figures two and three, and runs from thence west, sixteen degrees north, six miles ; then north, six degrees east, six miles and fifty-six rods j then east, sixteen degrees south, six miles and a quarter, to a maple tree standing on the said bank of the said river, marked with the figures three and four ; then down the said liver to the first mentioned, bounding easterly on the said river, southerly on a tract of land commonly called and known by the name of Weathersfield, westerly on a tract of land commonly called and known by the name of Reading, and northerly on a township known by the name of Hartford.

It seems that the people deeded their lands in trust to Col. Nathan Stone, who surrendered them to Gov. Tryon, of New York, and received in turn the above mentioned charter. Under the allotment of shares of the first charter, the public rights were so located as to be of some use to those for whom they were intended ; but under the last charter, by the operation of some dififerent mode of allotment resorted to, all the public rights were located upon almost unaccessible portions of Ascutney mountain, and are utterly worthless. By an act of the legislature, passed in 1793, the town was divided into two dittinct parishes, and, in 1814, the two parishes were erected into two dis- tinct towns, named respectively Windsor and West Windsor, with the right in each to send a representative to the legislature. During the next year, how- ever, the] arly excitement which induced the measure having in some degree subsided, the towns were again united, under the ancient name of Windsor. This unity was continued until October 26, 1848, when the town was again divided. Ihe following record, pertaining thereto, appears in the town book of records, under date of January 15, 1849: — " iVAereas, The legislature of the State of Vermont by an act passed Octo- ber 26, 1848, divided the then town of W'mdsor, and incorporated the same into two distinct towns, by a line drawn from the northerly to the southerly line of said town, between the seventh and eighth ranges of lots in said town as allotted and marked on the original plan of said town then in the town clerk's office in said town : We, the freeholders and inhabitants of said town of Windsor, by said act incorporated, lying easterly of said line, do hereby make application to you to notify and warn a meeting of the inhabitants of said last mentioned town of Windsor, to be holden at the court-house in the said town on Monday, the 15th day of January, 1849, at one o'clock in the afternoon, to organize said town. "To Warren Currier, J. P." At this meeting Warren Currier was chosen moderator ; Thomas Boyntoo, town clerk ; E. C. Toirey, treasurer ; and David Huggins, Peter Houghton, and Warren Currier, selectmen. From the date of their election dates the existence of the present town of Windsor, which contains an area of 1 1,062 acres of arable lands, so fortunately laid lout by nature as to present one of the most pleasing landscapes in the county. The whole territory is beauti- fully variegated by hill and dale, upland and meadow, river and streamlet, while high over all towers old Ascutney and his humbler offspring. Little Ascutney, like Don Quixota and his squire on the planes of La Mancha. This mountain lies in the southeastern corner of the town, partly in Weathcrstield and partly in West Windsor, commanding (><. m its summit a beautiful panoramic view, bringing to the eye of the beholder the valley of the Connecticut for many miles north and south, with the river itself, "a line of silver mid a fringe of green," coursing its way in serpentine windings towards its resting place in the sea. The peculiar and interesting theory of the geological formation of Ascutney has already been mentioned on page 29. The origin of its name is somewhat abscure. Zadock Thomp- TOWN OF WINDSOR. 265 son, in his "Gazetteer of Vermont" says, — "The name is undoubtedly of Indian origin, but writers are not agreed with regard to its signification. Dr. Dwight says that it signified the three brothers, and that it was given in allu- sion to its three summits. Kendall tells us that the true Indian name is Cai-cad-nac, and that it means a peaked mountain with steep sides," Mr. Hagar in his Report of the Geolpgy of Vermont" says, — " Tradition informs us that Ascutney is an Indian name, signifying ' three brothers ' and was applied to the Mountain in consequence of the three deep valleys which re- semble each other in size, and course their way down its western side, from near the top quite to its base." But which of these traditions, or if either, gives us the true origin of the name of the mountain, no one now can tell; but the changes in form which the name has undergone might be an argu- ment against them. In Morse's American Gazetteer, published at London in 1798, the name is given, Ashcutney ; while in his Universal Geography, published a few years later, it is given Aschcutney, though in one place at least he has given it in its present form. In Worcester's Universal Gazetteer, published m 1817, and in Morse's Universal Gazetteer, published in [823 and in later works, the name is given as it now appears. Several laborious admeasurements have been made to determine the height of the mountain, the last, made by Mr. Hosea Doton, of Woodstock, in 1874, seeming to have verified the fact that its height is 3,165 feet above the ocean. From this great altitude the country on all sides appears to be a vast amphitheatre scooped out to lift Ascutney, and with the various shades presented by the forests, seeming in some places to be mere patches of dark- green moss, the )'ellow fields of ripened and partly ripened grain, and the green pastures, flecked here and there with the shadows of passing clouds impress upon one's mind, a picture of beauty rare as it is lasting. Looking to the east, over the village of Windsor, — where gleam the white walls of the prison, and the Old South church rears boldly up, the venerable structure, seeming to one's fancy a " monument upon the shores of time," — almost in the eastern horizon glimmers Sunapee lake among the serrated hills of New Hampshire. To the north, following the silvery thread of Connecticut river, nestle the villages of Hartland, Hartland Four Corners, North Hartland, White River Junction and West Lebanon, beyond which rise to view the blue peaks of the White Mountains, a clear day revealing Mount Washington to the glass quite distinctly. In the west rise Killington, Pico and Shrewsbury peaks, while to the south the entranced eye takes in the historic village of Charlestown, N. H., and the heavenward pointing spires of the village churches away through to Bellow's Falls. Though the ascent of this moun- tain is difficult and tedious, the journey once made, while gazing upon this beautiful scene, all tremulous with the golden and purple mists of a summer afternoon, the various colors, lights and shades, blending in a woof more rare than ever came from the looms of Isphahan, one cannot but exclaim with the disciple of old : " It is good for us to be here." 266 TOWN OF WINDSOR. The geological structure of the town is made up almost entirely of rocks of cakiferous mica schist formation, except in the northwestern and southwestern portions. In the former locality there is a bed oi gneiss extending over from West Windsor, while in the latter locality there is a considerable bed of granite, syenite Siud proiogine. The terrace formations along Mill brook and Connecticut river are well-developed and beautiful specimens, nearly the whole of Windsor village being located upon one of these formations. No minerals of importance have ever been discovered. In 1880 Windsor had a population of 2,175, ^"d in 1882 it was divided into six school districts and contained ten common schools, employing two male and twelve female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $2,946.20. There were 511 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $3,281.32, with F. L. Morse, superintendent. Windsor is a beautiful, compactly built village, lying in the eastern part of the town on the banks of the Connecticut and on Mill brook, which here alTords a fine mill privilege. It has, aside from its rows of fine business blocks and several manufactories, six churches (Baptist, Congregational, Episcopal, Methodist, Roman Catholic and Unitarian), a good hotel, an academy, town hall, United States court-house and postofEce, a fine brick structure built in i8s7-'58; a fine depot and about 250 dwellings, many of them fine, handsome structures. The Vermont State prison, described on page 37, is also located here. Windsor is now noted among other things, as the summer home of ex-Secretary of State, William M. Evarts, as still con- taining the old Constitution House, wherein was framed the constitution of Vermont, mentioned on a previous page, and also as the place where was broken the first ground in the State towards the construction of a railroad. The Constitution House. This old structure is naturally the central attraction to those interested in Vermont's history. As the stranger approaches Main street from the railroad station, he discovers on his left, in the rear of a large two-storied brick block, a plain wood building, two stories in height, with a half-story basement beneath on the east side. The structure is forty-eight feet and six inches long, and eighteen feet six inches wide ; contains three rooms on the first floor and two on the second, and although in fair external condition it bears an aspect of having seen better days, as it surely has. Its windows are of the ancient 7 by 9 style, and modern improvement leaves it today, excepting slight varia- tions, with the exterior of a century ago. This building is the old "Consti- tution House." Its natal history, like that of Roman and Grecian shrines of classical fame, is enshrouded in what, at this writing, appears to be impene- trable mystery. It is known to have been in existence in June and July, 1777, — thirteen years only after ttie first permanent settlement of the town — and to have been the welcome resort of weary travelers, brave patriots, valiant soldiers TOWN OF WINDSOR. 267 and distinguished statesmen. Its original site was nearly directly in front of itS-present location, lying on Main street. An extension eastward, from near the center, of fifty to one hundred feet, in the second story of which were sleep- ing rooms and a hall, was at some time made. The ground on which it then stood was so low that, in process of time, it was necessary to raise it, at three different periods, in order to preserve it from encroachments of the rising street by accumulations of washings from the highway. It is related that Capt. Elias Savage, a noted builder of his day, used to say he had helped to elevate the building from its foundation " three times to save it from burial." The lower floor of this ancient inn was divided into three rooms, with a large hall entry from the front, in the middle. The north room, in the northeast corner of which was an outer door, was devoted to the uses of a bar-room of the ancient order, and next to it was another room. The south room was used by guests as a sitting-room, in which also the villagers occasionally met for social or busi- ness purposes. In the second story were also two or more rooms — the south being a large one occupying the entire space of about 16x18 feet. At the time of the constitutional convention at Windsor, in July, 1777, it is pretty well established that a Mr. West occupied the premises as proprietor, and that he was the host of those glorious heroes, the Aliens, Chittenden, Fay, Bowker, Marsh, and others, who convened at Windsor at that time to complete the organization of the first Independent State Republic on the American conti- nent. It is related that this inn-keeper, Mr. West, had a daughter born to him in that memorable year, 1777, and that her name was Sophia. At the bewitching age of nineteen she took, one evening, a brief but rather unexpec- ted walk with a mature bachelor of some forty years, to the parson's residence at the north end of the village, and returned as the bride of her escort, Mr. Allen Hayes — a thriving merchant of the village and father of Augustus A. Hays, the celebrated analytical chemist of Boston. In regard to the par- ticular room in this building occupied by the convention at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, there is some discrepancy in the traditions. Some aver that it was in the hall, extending eastward. Others report that it was the north room of the second story, and a third account says it was the lower south room. The preponderance, we think, favors the statement that it was the south room of the second story. Small as this room would appear to be, in these days, for a State constitutional convention, it should be ob- served that the size was ample for the convenience of the small number of men, hardly forty at most, comprising the July convention of 1777, at a time when patriotism meant something more than political and personal ambition, and independence and love of liberty something better than stubborn self will and unbridled license. Then, it must be considered, there were reasons for meeting in a retired and close assembly. It was a most extraordinary emer- gency to which they were come in their struggles for freedom and unity. Foes assailed them on all sides. A convention of persons in the interest of New York was at about the same time in session at Westminster. Many of the 268 lOWN OF WINDSOR. towns had been re-chartereil by the New York authorities, and the New Hampshire charters surrendered, among them Windsor itself, and the pre- vailing sentiment in some of them was so opposed to the plan of independency that no delegates to that convention had been sent. Even here in Windsor, spies from other parts, it is said, were watching the movements of the conven- tion, while the army of Burgoyne was known to be sweeping down from Can- ada. Dangers beset them in every direction ; and wise councils, close lips and resolute and brave hearts, hand to hand and shoulder to shoulder, were their only safety. An upper room then, even as with the select twelve of old in the infancy of Christianity, in a place remote from the public eye — not the " meeting-house," not the " town house " nor even the public room of a village inn — seemed the most fitting for the requirements of the hour. They met, therefore, in that memorable south room of the second story, where, without interruption from either friendly or unfriendly spectators, they could proceed with their business most speedily and successfully. It was there, probably, that these men were busily engaged in deliberating upon the proposed arti- cles of the constitution and in laying the foundations of the republic, which they had named Vermont, when the courier from Col. Seth Warner arrived, with the news of the evacuation of Ticonderaga, and the retreat of the Httle band of .American soldiers towards Castleton and Hubbardton. and a call for fre.sh troops to be hurried on towards Bennington, which produced a conster- nation of which we, at this distance in time, can have but the faintest concep- tion. Of its effect, and a remarkable providential interposition, Ira Allen says, in his History of Vermont: — •' In this awful crisis, the convention was for leaving Windsor, but a severe thunder storm came on, and gave them time to reflect ; while some member, less alarmed at the news, called the attention of the convention to finish the constitution, which was then being read, paragraph by paragraph, for the last time. This was done, and the Convention appointed a council of safety to act during their recess, and adjourned." The next occupant so far as we can learn of this ancient tavern^ was Samuel Patrick, the elder, who successfully maintained its honorable reputa- tion for many years, and then passed it into the hands of his son Samuel. He died at the age of seventy-five )ears, in the year 1825. The son, Capf Samuel Patrick, succeeded well in his patrimony of the tavern, which still held ample patronage, even though the Parmelee House, at the south end of the village, and Pettes's Coffee House, on the present site of the Windsor House, became enterprising rivals. .Vbout 1840 the failing health of Capt. Patrick compelled his retirement from the active management, and Thomas Boynton undertook it. It is related that it was at this time that the old " Patrick " inn received its now historically canonized name — " Constitution House." Several individuals then successively occupied the premises, but nothing could save it from the hand of time and the evident coming doom of deterioration and final desertion. Messrs. Hadley, Diirgin, S. R. Fitch, and Thomas Ensworth, did their best, as temporary occupants, until finally. TOWN OF WINDSOR. 269 about 1850, the tavern succumbed to the inevitable, and Albert Tuxbury vacated the premises, and they were given up to various uses, widely remote from, their primitive purpose and ancient fames. At one time there was a photograph saloon, a tinman's shop, a hardware store, a shoemaker's shop, and an indefinite number of private families in possession ; and how many other strange and notable things came to possess its deserted rooms, we will not venture to assert, suffice it to say that the remorseless changes of time finally demoUshed the famous ell containing the hall, — removed the front struc- ture to the eastward some two hundred feet, and placed it on the brow of the light descent to the old meadow, where the railroad station now stands, and at the same time allowed modern enterprise to erect a large brick block for business purposes on the ancient site; while it still struggles to look respect- able in the rear of its former glory, and in uses to which the Aliens, Chitten- dens, Morris and Enos. of Vermont, the Chases of New Hampshire, and Gov. Golden and sheriffs, of New York, could never have dreamed it would ever have been put. Old Houses. Aside from the old Constitution House there are a number of very an- cient buildings in the village. Mr. Evarts's farm house, located on Main street, was the first frame house built in the township. It was erected by Steele Smith, the first settler in the town, and is now in a good state of pres- ervation. The old mansion on State street, now owned by WiUiam Sabin, was built by Dr. Benjamin Green, between 1780 and 1790. Dr. Green removed to Montreal in 1807. E. E. Lamson'.s residence, on Main street, was built by Wm. Leverett, in 1790 The house owned by Geo. Wardner, Esq., on Main street, was built by Dr. Green in i79r. Capt. Leonard, of the U. S. army, built the house now occupied by Wm. Sabin, in 1791 or previous. The house on State street, owned by Mrs. Dr. Phelps, was built at an early date, though the exact time is not known. Thehouse nowawned by Wm. Batchelder, Esq., was built by Dr. Nahum Trask, in 1796. The Stevens house, on Main street, was built by one Green, a shoemaker, previous to 1800. The house now owned by Mrs. Thomas Fullerton, on Main street, was built by Judge J. H. Hub- bard, in 1800. Joshua Simons house, on Everett lane, was built previous to 1800. The old Horace Everett mansion, on Everett lane, now occupied by L. V. Haskell, was built in 1810. Thomas Sears's house, on Everett lane, was built by Cummings,the bookseller, previous to 1800. The Hawley house, on Main street, now owned by Mrs. Samuel Stone, was built by Josiah Haw- ley, in 1801. Mrs. I. W. Hubbard's residence, on Main street, was built by S. Conant, previous to 1800. Dr. F. L. Morse's residence, on Main street, was built previous to 1800, by Alden Spooner. The residences on Main street now owned and occupied by Hon. William M. Evarts, were built as follows: The Abner Forbes house, in 1796, by Mr. Forbes; the Curtis mansion was commenced by Nathan Coolidge and finished by Zebina Curtis, 270 TOWN OK WINDSOR. in 1796; the William Johonnot house was built by Mr. Johonnot in 1798; The old Jacobs mansion, opposite the prison, now owned by the William Gay estate, was built by Stephen Jacobs, previous to 1800. The present residence of C. H. Fitch was built by Elkanah Phelps, brother of Dr. Elisha Phelps, in 1800. The brick church was built in i8oo. This completes our list of a few of the older houses in the village, though there are many other venerable and stately structures that might be mentioned. 1-1 RES. Destructive fires have at different periods visited the village, effacing many old landmarks and destroying many dollars worth of property. The first that occurred in the village, and probably the first in the township, was in 1767, when the substantial log house of Cajit. Smith, the first settler, was destroyed, together with all its contents. Not long after, a new frame house, nearly finished, occupying the present site of the Evarts farm house, was destroyed. It belonged to a Dea. Thompson. The third fire of any special note occurred in 1800, when Capt. Joseph Peites's Hotel, occupying the site of the present Windsor House, was destroyed. In 1801 Capt. Pettes adver- tised his " new coffee house " as completed, showing the building to have been immediately rebuilt. He also erected a wood building upon the site of the Journal building, called the Pettes block. .Martin Cheney kept a jewelry store in the " chamber," and John and Frederick Pettes used the basement for a general store. The fourth notable fire occurred on Wednesday morning, November 25, 1818, about half-past one o'clock, destroying what was known as the Tontine building, and the above mentioned Pettes block. The Journal of the following week said it ''roused the citizens of the village from their slumbers and gilded the sable canopy of night with the flames of desolation." The Tontine is described as being " 91^ feet long, 40 feet wide, and three stories high." The report says : " The store of F. & J. Pettes, on the south, and the store owned by the estate of Wm. Leverett, on the north of the Tontine, were also consumed. The exertions to save the buildings were continued to so late a period as not to leave sufficient time to remove any property except from the lower story and cellers of the Tontine, one article excepted — it was ascertained there was in the third story a barrel of powder; a ladder was placed to the window, and Mr. Ziba Toot, of this place, went up, burst in the window, and brought down the powder in safety. Still and calm as it was, the buildings on the opposite side were in great danger. It was extremely difficult for the persons on the roofs to keep their places on account of the heat. Blankets spread and kept wet were scorched to a coal ; and one store, (Smith ..V- Dutton's) [now Tuxbury & Stone's,] was once on fire.'' Messrs. Pomroy & Hedge kept a book and stationery store in one portion of the Tontine, and their loss was heavy. One member of this firm, Lemuel Hedge, requires a passing notice. He pos- sessed extraordinary skill as an inventor, although, in a pecuniary sense, it TOWN OF WINDSOR. 271 was of little or no account to him. It was here that he invented the ruling machine, — a machine that is now, with slight alteration, used by paper makeis throughout the world. Another machine — his invention also — was that for marking boxwood rules or measures into inches and fractional parts. The celebrated band saw, so extensively used by workers in wood in our time, was also the result of his ingenuity. The next great fire that raged in Windsor occurred in the afternoon of Wednesday, August 23, 1848, destroy- ing that portion of business blocks lying between the Nathan Coolidge build- ing and S. Wardner & Son's store. The U. S. court-house and Hubbard's block now occupy the "burnt district." In 1869 a block occupying the present site of the building on the north corner of Depot avenue and Main street was burned. The village now has an efficient fire department and a good water supply. The supply is furnished by The Windsor Aqueduct Company. This company was organized as a corporate body under the laws of the State, in 1849, the first meeting for such purpose being held at the office of Dr. Edward E. Phelps, April 5th of that year. Roswell Smith was chosen president and Samuel R. Stocker, secretary. The construction of the works was immediately begun, and completed during that summer. Water was taken from a stream about a mile west of the center of the village, in a pas- ture now owned by Hiram Harlow. The supply at this point was soon found to be inadequate to the demand, so the stream was tapped nearer its source, where the reservoir is now located, upon the farm of Ryland Ely, giving a head of about 200 feet. The reservoir is about twelve by eighteen feet and fifteen feet in depth, into which the springs forming the brook are filtered. The company now supplies water for the railroad at this point, the hotel, most of the stores, the gas works, and a large portion of the dwell- ings. The present officers of the company are Hiram Harlow, president, and S. R. Stocker, secretary and treasurer. Gas Works. The Windsor Gas Light Company was organized in the autumn of 1862, with a capital of $10,000.00, which was subsequently increased to $20,000.00. Daniel C. Lindsley, one of the heaviest stockholders, immediately set about completing the enterprise, and the village has since been blessed with a good medium of illumination, the company now having about two miles of mains, the works being located on Depot avenue. Rosin was first used for manufactur- ing the gas, but owing to the war this commodity soon became too expensive, and petrolium was substituted in its stead, which has since been used. Hiram Harlow is now the president and manager of the company. Town Hall. The town hall of Windsor, located on Court street, was built in 1881-82. The building is of brick, has a solid granite foundation, and with its slated 272 TOWN OF WINDSOR. roof will undoubtedly stand the pressure of time for years to come. It is of the Queen Anne style of architecture, eighty-one feet long and forty-eight feet wide, being arranged within for the greatest convenience of all who may use it. The basement is divided into a cellar, with cemented floor, forty-five feet square, in which are placed two Barstow furnaces for heating purposes. ' The west end of the basement is arranged for coal closets, storage rooms, and water-closets. East of the cellar is a large room forty-five feet by twenty feet, and eleven feet high. The main hall is divided into an auditorium, gallery, stage and rooms adjoining. The approaches are by means of the main entrance, on the west end, through a side entrance to the stage, and basement at the south side of the building, near the east end. The outer vestibule of the main entrance has a tiled floor of red slate and black and white marble. The inner vestibule, eight feet by twenty-five feet, has approaches to the ticket office and janitor's room, to the stairway leading to the gallery and to the selectmen's room, the latter a fire-proof room thirteen feet by fourteen feet south of the entrance, in which the town records are kept. The entrance to the auditorium is through two double doors. This room, forty-five feet square and twenty-two feet high, having a seating capacity ot 400, is well ventilated by ventilators in the ceiling and flues. The gallery is forty-five feet by twenty feet, has a floor rising by steps, and a seating capacity of 200. The stage is seventeen feet by twenty feet, with a sloping floor. Rooms open to this from each side and there is a clear pas- sage-way in the rear. The general finish of the interior of the building is of black ash, and presents a handsome and rich appearance. The ceiling of the main room is broken by projecting tiusses cased with black ash and ter- minated by corbels. The hard-finished walls are ornamented by two lines of stucco work, with stucco arches over tlie windows. The trimmings of the doors are all solid bronze, and with the quaint windows, wainscoating, and other finish, add much to the general effect. The entire building is piped for gas.

The Windsor Library Association was formed December 12, 1882, with about twenty-five members, for the purpose of "promoting literary and scien- tific knowledge among its members by establishing a library at Windsor." Hiram Horton was elected president ; H. P. Mc Clary, secretary. Shares were soon after taken, at five dollars per share, to the amount of $2,000.00. At the next town meeting the town voted $300.00 per year towards the expense of the library, and the people were in turn accorded the privilege of drawing books free of charge. In the autumn of 1882, Messrs. William M. Evarts and C. C. Beaman, Jr., offered to jointly give $1,000.00 towards establishing a library fund, and to give $150.00 per year thereafter towards the purchasing of new books, providing the citizens would raise a like sum b) subscription. This offer was accepted and carried into effect. The association now has 3,500 volumes, the library being very pleasantly located in the "reading-room" of the town hall. The original officers, mentioned above, are still in office, though the association is really under the control of a board of directors, made up of the following named gentlemen : C. C. Bea- man, Jr., Gilbert A. Davis, E. E. Lamson, M. O. Perkins, H. P. McClary and Charles Tuxbury. Banks. Several applications to the legislature were made by Windsor for a bank, but none of them were successful until 18 16, when the old Windsor Bank, a State institution, was established. This bank continued business until April, 1838, when it failed, and for ten years thereafter Windsor had no banking institu- tion. In the autumn of 1847, however, the old Ascutney Bank was char- tered by the legislature, with a capital of $50,000.00, and it commenced business the following spring with Allen Wardner, president, and Jason Steele, cashier. In 1865 the bank was changed from a State to a National institution, and the capital increased to $100,000.00. The only change of officers made until the bank was closed, in the autumn of 1881, was the suc- cession of Henry Wardner to the cashiership, in 1853^ and the succession of Harlow Hall to the presidency, in 1870. The Windsor Savings Bank was incorporated by the legislature in 1847, and commenced business January 3, 1848, with Shubael Wardner, president, • and Samuel H. Price, treasurer. Alfred Hall is now president, and L. C. White, treasurer. The bank has nearly 2,000 deposits, representing over half a million dollars. Cemeteries. The village has three cemeteries, the Old South church cemetery, Ascutney cemetery, and the third located near the Capt. Houghton place. The Old South church cemetery is located on Main street, surrounding the Old South church, and is the oldest in the town. It has many beautiful monuments, IS 2^4 TOWN OF WINDSOR. but that which is most interesting is a rough, time-worn slab of mica slate, bearing, in uncouth letters, the following inscription :— In Memory OF Mrs. Elizabeth, Wife of Capt. William Dean, Who Died Dec. 22, 1766, IN THE 64TH Year OF Her Age, The First Death in Windsor. Although I sleep in dust awhile Beneath this barren clod. Ere long I hope to rise and smile To see my Saviour God. The Ascutney cemetery has an area of twenty-one acres, located upon the farm of Hiram Harlow, just west of the village. The land was donated by Mr. Harlow, with the understanding that all burial lots should be purchased, though the purchase money should be devoted to the improvement and em- bellishment of the cemetery. Manufactures. While the trade of Vermont passed principally east, to Boston, Windsor was the center of business for this section, a flourishing, busy town. But the building of the Whitehall canal threw the commerce towards New York, and the business of the village naturally declined. The public spirited men of the town saw it would be necessary to cast about for some new enterprise in order that the village might hold its own. It was then conceived that Mill brook might be made available for operating extensive manufactories. Accord- ingly a company was formed and the construction of the stone dam com- menced, in 1834, with Allen Wardner superintendent of the work, which was completed the following year. It is 360 feet in length, fifty-six in breadth at the base, twelve at the top, and forty-two feet in height, forming a reservoir of water nearly one mile in length, with a surface of one hundred acres. The dam is built on the arc of a circle, over which, in flood time, the water flows in an unbroken sheet 102 feet in length. The armory, for the manufacture of fire arms, by Robbins, Kendall & Lawrence, was the first important manufactory established, in 1845. '^^^^ firm did a large business, employing upwards of 300 men, being one of the largest manufactories of the kind in the world at that time. But through . branching out heavily in other factories, they failed, in 1859. Efforts towards re-organization were made, but they proved abortive, though the contracts OP hand were finished by the Robbins & Lawrence Company, successors, who also built considerable gun manufacturing machinery, the first machinery for the Enfield armory, in England, being built by them. In 1856 the prop- erty was sold to Lamson, Goodnow & Yale, who, at the breaking out of the Rebellion, resumed operations. During the war there were about 60,000 guns manufactured here. From 1865 to 1869 nothing much was done in TOWN OF WINDSOR. 275 -the buildings, except in the machine shops. In 1870 the main buildings were purchased by Jones, Lamson & Co., and converted into a cotton-mill, which now has 13,000 spindles and 224 looms. The business of manufac- turing machinists' tools was also continued by Jones, Lamson & Co., until 1878, and since that time by the Jones & Lamson Machine Company. Hubbard 6- Mc Clary. — This fimi, located on Main street, first commenced business in 1877, manufacturing a patent coffee pot. To the manufacture of this article they have since added the manufacture of family scales, patent glaciers' points and driver, and patent cutting nippers for tinsmiths. All of these articles are the invention of George W. Hubbard, the senior member of the firm. The company now employs eight hands. The Windsor Coffin Company, located on Union street, was established in 1878, the firm being R. L. Patrick and William and John G. Lacy. They employ ten men in the manufacture of all kinds of coffins and caskets. Harlow &= Kelsey's machine shop and foundry, located on Main street, turns out all kinds of castings and does all kinds of machine work. The firm was established in 1876 and now employs five men. A. W. Harlow's brick yard, located on road 26, was established in 1847. Mr. Harlow manufactures about 250,000 bricks per annum. Rollin Anisden, who does an extensive business here, built the Amsden block in 1873. He now uses a portion of the block as a grist-mill and machine shop. The mill has one run of stones, with the capacity for grind- ing thirty bushels of grain per hour. The machine shop turns out general machine work, employing two men. Early Settlement. The Indian name of Windsor is Cushankamaug. Capt. Steele Smith began the first improvements in the town by clearing the trees from the site ■of the old Congregational parsonage, now known as the Jason Steele place, about three-fourths of a mile north of the United States court-house, in 1759. He came from Charlestown, N. H., in a canoe, bringing seed wheat enough to sow the three or four acres he succeeded in clearing. The following spring he returned with three or four others and made further improvements and in all probability annually repeated the visit until August, 1764, when he brought Iiis family on from Farmington, Conn., from which month properly dates the first permanent settlement of the town, though Solomon Emmons and his wife had resided here in a hut several months, but not owning their land nor making any improvements. Mrs. Emmons proved very useful to the early inhabitants as a nurse and doctress. She was for many years supported by the town and died in 1833. In the spring of 1765 Capt. Smith was joined by Maj. Elisha Hawley, Capt. Israel Curtiss, Dea. Hezekiah Thompson, Dea. Thomas Cooper, and some others, so that at the close of that year the number of families in the new settlement amounted to sixteen. In .1771 the population had increased to 203 souls, and in 1791 the population amounted to 1,542. 3^6 TOWN OK WINDSOR. Capt. Smith died about 1812, at a good old age, having lived to see a vit lage spring up about the site of his first settlement, ranking second to few in New England. In the ]'ermont Journal, March 17, 1823, the village is de- scribed as follows : — " It is situated about a quarter of a mile from the river, a little elevated, and the principal street running north and south, parallel with the river; it contains about eighty dwelling houses, mostly well built and commodious; and the shops, stores, etc., are many of them of brick, and large, so that the business part of the town has an air of dignity rarely met with in the country. Here are employed three physicians, eight attorneys, two printers, three book- sellers, two bookbinders, several merchants and druggists, three cabinet mak- ers, one chair maker and painter, four boot and shoe makers, one hatter, one coach and chaise maker, one wheelwright, two coopers, two tin plate workers, one watch maker, one jeweler, two tailors, one milliner and mantaumaker, two masons or brick layers, one barber, one grist-mill, carding machine and woolen manufactory. There are also two excellent houses for public enter- tainment. The public buildings are a Congregational meeting house, a Bap- tist meeting house, St. Paul's church, academy, court-house, and State peni- tentiary, and the office of discount and deposit for the Bank of Windsor." The date of the organization of the town is not known, the first meeting recorded being that of February 17, 1786, when Bryant Brown was elected clerk; Benjamin Cady and Oliver Barrett, constables; and Bri ant Brown, Benjamin Wait, Stephen Jacob, Charles Leavens and Thomas Cooper, select- men. "It IS not to be presumed" says Deming, in his 1'ermont Officers, "that this was the first meeting, for Zadock Thompson, in his Vermont Gazetteer, says the town was rapidly settled and soon organized, and that Thomas Cooper was the first town clerk.'' The first justices of the peace were Thomas Cooper and Briant Brown, in 1786. Ebenezer Curtis and Thomas Cooper were the first representatives, in 1778. The first birth was that of Samuel, son of Capt. Smith, July 2, 1765. He died in 1842, aged seventy-seven years. The first female born was Polly, daughter of Nathan, and Mary Stone, April 26, 1767. The first death was that of Elizabeth, wife of Capt. WiUiam Dean, December 22, 1766. The establishment of Windsor as a shire town, the erection of a court-house,, the court riots, etc., have all been mentioned, on pages 31-34, and 140-143. We shall here give a few brief biographies, the Hmits of the work not allow- ing us space to mention many of the prominent sons of Windsor who have, in times gone by, won names that would grace the pages of any history, while the few that we do mention must be noted only in a too brief manner. Per- tinent to this topic we quote the following from the address of Sewell Cutting,. D. D., delivered at the centennial celebration held at Windsor, July 4. 1876:— " How many memories of Windsor characters now crowd upon my mind, and ask for records which I have not space to give. How the men re-appear tvho walked these streets more than fifty years ago, and impressed the imagi- nation of my boyhood. General Curtis, restless, eager man of affairs ; Gen- eral Forbes, whose quiet, natural dignity led every man that met him to give TOWN OF WINDSOR. 277 him the walk ; John Leverett, gentleman and scholar, whose old-fashioned •coach, openmg at the lear, brought, every Sunday, the family to church, leav- ing him and one or two daughters at the Baptist, and depositing Mrs. Leverett and the rest at the Old South ; Judge Hubbard, whose thoughtful face told the world of law he carried in his head; Dea. Coolidge, grave, sagacious and honored citizen; Dr. Isaac Green, who dispensed prudential maxims with his healing drugs ; Captains Lord and Ingersoll, the one sturdy and bluff, tne other, an urbane and polished sailor; Judge Hunter, in whom it did not require the eye of a grandchild to see a serene and majestic nature. Drs. Trask and Torrey belonged to this class of elder and •old men, a class which might include other names as well. Horace Everett, Asa Aikens, Carlos Coolidge, Frederick and John Pettes, Shu- bael and Allen Wardner, the latter your patriarch to-day, the others all dead, were in their vigor or prime. Edward and George Curtis, William Gay Hunter, Charles Forbes, Isaac Watts Hubbard, Francis E. Phelps, Simeon Ide, the last, in old age, honoring us with his presence at this hour, the rest nearly all departed, were younger or young men. Some of them were wits who made Windsor resound with their humor. Edwin Edgerton had just come to town from Dartmouth ; Thomas S. Fullerton and Albert G. Hatch came a little later. All were well-known Windsor characters — and how easy to extend the list. How, too, events come to my memory, — the burning of the old Tontine in 1818, and the solemn patrol of the village when incen- •diaries were about. A recollection more agreeable than that of these confla- grations is the visit of La Fayette, in 1825. Near the Cornish bridge I stood by the side of the barouche * in which he entered Vermont, when Col. Jesse Lull, the most courtly man in Windsor, mounted on a bay horse, gave him a welcome, and then, leading the escort, brought him through thronging mul- titudes to the balcony of Pettes's Coffee House, and, in the sight of the great ■crowd, presented him to Cornehus P. Van Ness, governor of the State, who had come from Burlington to receive him. But I must not run the risk of wearying you with personal recollections which have their interest for a few only who linger from departed generations." Dea. Hezekiah Thompson came to Windsor among its first settlers, in 1765, locating about a mile north of the village, where he died in 1803. He was a deacon of the Congregational church from 1768 until his death. He reared ■a family of three sons and four daughters. Ephraim, Josiah and Nathan Stone, three brothers, sons of Joseph Stone, were among the early pioneers of this section, and were all held in high esteem by their associates. Ephraim located in Windsor, and Josiah subsequently located in Cornish, N. H., and Nathan in Barre. Samuel Stone, another brother, was born in Stoughton, Conn., November 24, 1756. His father died while Samuel was yet a boy, and he then resided with an uncle until six- teen years of age. Soon after this he was pressed on board a British vessel and taken to the West India Islands, where he was kept a prisoner six months. Before he was twenty-one years of age he came to Windsor to visit his brothers, who induced him to remain here. He married Anna, daughter of Deacon Thompson, and died here in 1837. The only one of his nine chil- *This carriage was built at Baltimore in 1824, for Gen. La Fayette's special use, and is Jiow owned by Mr. Frank Dennison of Syracuse, N.

The part that Windsor has taken in military afl^airs is very ably set forth in the following quotation from the centennial address of Rev. Dr. Sewall S. Cutting, delivered in 1876. Dr. Cutting now resides in Brooklyn, N. Y,, though he was formerly a citizen of Windsor, Vt. His address runs as follows : — " The military history of Windsor belongs among the essential themes of TOWN OF WINDSOR. 283 this dav. I could wish my knowledge of it more complete. The fame of Seth Warner's regiment was shared by men of this town. After the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill, after the capture of Ticonderoga by Allen, Capt. John Grout, of that regiment came in the summer of 1775 to Windsor for recruits. Among those who enlisted under him were Asahel Smith, John Heath, Zenas Lull, Joshua Slayton, and WilUam Hunter, the last named enlisting as sergeant, and becoming the orderly of the company. Laying down their sickle, — for an old narrative says it was ' reaping time,' — they proceeded to join their regiment at Crown Point, and, descending the lake to Canada, took part in the brilliant operations which resulted in the capture of St. Johns and Montreal, and in the flight of Carlton to Quebec. Young Hunter, then twenty-one years of age, was attached to the person of General Montgomery, and for his good conduct at the siege of St. Johns, received a commission as first lieutenant. The, time for which the men had enlisted having expired. Hunter came back to Windsor in December of that year for more recruits. There were already militia companies in the town, and there is a record of the drill of one of them by Lieutenant Hunter after his return at that time. His mission was successful. Early in January, 1776, on the broad eastern slope of 'the hill' of the West Parish, where to-day green fields smile under the summer-sun, the snow was lying deep. There, at the house of Samuel Root, Hunter mustered his recruits, of whom are preserved the names of Ebenezer Hoisington, Phineas Killam, John Heath, Joel But- ler, Asa Smead, Jonathan Hodgman, and ' an elerly man named Emmons.' These, with perhaps as many more, he marched away on snow-shoes to Skeensborough, now Whitehall, whence, descending the lake on the ice, they reached the army destined to Quebec, and finally encamped on the Plains of Abraham. ■'In the disastrous retreat of the ensuing spring, Warner's regiment was the last on the field, and kept the rear. It was on this retreat that Lieutenant Hunter, discovering a sick Cornish soldier who had laid down to die, inspired with hope the despairing man's heart, and, lifting him on his back, carried him three miles to the bateaux and saved his life. During the re- mainder of the war the military of Windsor were perpetually on the alert, and were frequently called into service. Under Capt. Benjamin Wait and Major Joab Hoisington, they were of the troops who kept back the English and In- dians from the northern towns, and when Royalton was attacked and burned, marched in such numbers to repel and punish the invasion, that most of the women of Windsor, left unprotected, fled with their children to Cornish, 'until the return of the men.' Declining a captaincy in the Continental service. Hunter became lieutenant of the Windsor company, under Capt. Samuel Stow Savage, and succeeded him as captain in the year 1789. "In the war of 1812 this town contributed its share of officers and men to the armies who fought our battles. Churchill, already referred to, and Mat- thew Patrick remained in the public service to the end of their lives. A few veterans of that war remain to this day to have their fitting recognition by an appropriate place in our festivities. The Jefferson Artillery, significant, politi- cally, by its name, came into being in 1810, amid the omens of the coming war. Its organization was not, however^ complete till the ensuing year. Will- iam Tileston was its first captain. My father's commission as lieutenant bears the date of 1811. About 1820 there were four companies in the town, one of artillery, one of light infantry, and two ununiformed, reproachfully termed " floodwood." Harry White was one of the village captains, as was, likewise, David Smith, the brilliant and popular merchant whom Windsor lost 284 TOWN OF WINDSOR. by a sudden calamity ; Capt. Back commanded the light-infantry of the West Parish. Training days were holidays, and General Musters were great events. The boys caught the military infection of the time, and under the command of John A. Spooner, now a venerable and honored clergyman, marched beneath a banner which bore a patriotic and impressive legend. "That Windsor was true to her historic principles and renown in the late struggle which saved the Union, and gave us a country unstained by slavery, is fresh within your knowledge, and eulogy from one so unfamiliar as myself with your later history, would for that reason be inadequate and unsatisfac- tory." [See page 57.] The First Congregatioval church of Windsor^ or Old South church. — The first church organized in Windsor was called the church of Windsor and Cornish. The covenant was adopted at Windsor, September 21, 1768, four years after the permanent settlement of the town was commenced, and at Cornish one week later, at which time an ecclesiastical council publicly recog- nized the church according to Congregational usage, and installed Rev. James Wellraan as pastor. The church consisted of ten members, four of whom, Israel Curtis, Ebenezer Hoisington, Joab Hoisington and Hezekiah Thompson, were residents of Windsor. It was arranged that the pastor should preach one-third of the time in Windsor and the remainder in Cornish, receiving as a settlement two hundred acres of land, and an annual salary of ^40, in currency of New Hampshire, one-third of which was to be paid by the people of Windsor, to secure which payment a bond was given, signed by ten citizens of Windsor. The payment was to be made in October, either in money or " in Graine, or Pork, or Beef, or Day's Labor," the engagement to expire in five years. On the third of April, 1774, eleven members of the church requested and received letters of dismission, for the purpose of form- ing a separate church here. Soon afterwards we find the church of Windsor In existence, but we have no record of its organization, and there is no evi- dence that a council was convened for that purpose. It is not improbable that it was assumed that the church of Cornish and Windsor had now become two distinct bodies, and that no further organization was thoughttobe neces- sary. The church building was erected in 1798, a wood structure capa- ble of seating 350 persons, and is now valued, including grounds, at $15,- 000.00. The society has 153 members, with Rev. William Greenwood, pastor. The First Baptist church of Windsor, located on the corner of Main and River streets, was organized Deceinber 3, 1785, by "eleven members of the Woodstock church, residing in Windsor," Rev. Roswell Smith being the first pastor. The first church building was a wooden structure, erected in 1802, and in 1815 it was replaced by a brick edifice, which in turn gave place to the present wooden edifice, in 1874. This structure, including grounds and parsonage, is valued at $14,500, and will comfortably accommodate a congre- gation of 400 persons. The society has at present 141 members, under the pastoral care of Rev. J. Mervin Hull. St. PauFs Protestant Episcopal church, located on State street, was organ- ized in the autum of 1816, with twenty-five members. Rev. George Leonard TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. 285 being the first rector. The church building was consecrated November 20, 1822. It is a brick structure, capable of seating 325 persons, originally val- ued at $6,000, but through remodelling, etc., is now valued at $10,000. The society has at present seventy-five communicants, with Rev. Edward N. God- dard, rector. The First Unitarian Society of Windsor was organized by its first pastor, with forty members, in 1836. Their first church building «as erected in 1838, and was superseded by the present structure in 1847, which is a wooden edifice capable of seating 350 persons, valued, including grounds, at $6,000. The society is now under the pastoral charge of Rev. C. E. Churchill, of Hartland. The Windwr Methodist Episco;pal church was organized April 25, 1870, Rev. David Megahy being the first pastor. The society now has about one hundred members, with Rev. P. M. Frost, pastor. They have no house of worship, but hold their services in a hall in the Amsden block, on Depot avenue. The St. Francis Rotnan Catholic church, located at the village, has about seventy-five families in its membership, under the charge of Rev. Pat- rick Cunningham. The church building was not erected until 1882, though there has been a society in existence here about forty years. The building is a wooden structure, capable of seating 350 persons, and is valued, includ- ing grounds, at $6,000. WOODSTOCK, the shire town of Windsor county, lies in the central part of the same, in lat. 43° 36' and lone. 4° 27', bounded north by Pomfret, east by Hartland, south by Reading, and west by Bridgewater. The original charter of the town was given by Benning Went- worth, July 10, 1761, granting 24,900 acres of land to David Page and others, in sixty-eight shares; but in 1764, George III. having confirmed the claims of New York to the disputed territory of the New Hampshire Grants, a re-charter of the several towns granted by New Hampshire came to be considered necessary, and among others the grantees of Woodstock applied to Governor Tryon, of New York, and were granted are-charter in 1767. A third and last Charter, however, was applied for by Ohver Willard and twenty- three others, when tlie town was again granted by New York, February 28, 1771, and chartered June 23, 1772, with an area of 23,200 acre^, bounded as follows : — " Beginning at the southwest corner of the town of Hertford [Hartland], then running north sixty-five degrees west, 440 chains ; thence north thirty- two degrees east, 602 chains ; thence south sixty-two degrees east, 448 chains to the northwest corner of the town of Hertford [Hartland] ; then south thirty-three degrees west, 580 chains to the place of beginning." On the same day, 23d of June, all the other grantees made over their right 286 TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. and title to Mr. Willard and he became sole owner of the town, and in turn, on the same day, he conveyed 1,050 acres of land to Elisha Spencer, situated in the northwestern corner of the town, and now known as the Spencer tract, and the same amount to Dr. John Rogers, of New York, lying next easterly of the Spencer tract and is now known as the Rogers tract. On March i, 1784, the town was divided into two parishes by the legislature, called the north and south parish. The surface of Woodstock is pleasantly diversified by hill and valley, the highest point being the summit of Mount Tom, near Woodstock village, 1,351.22 feet above tide-water. The soil is rich and deep in most localities, making up one of the finest farming districts in the county. The territory is watered by Quechee river, which runs through it in a northeasterly direction, and by two of its branches, one on the north side and the other on the south. That on the north is called Beaver brook, and originates in the northern part of Bridgewater and in the southern part of Barnard and Pomfret. That on the south is called South branch and originates in the southern part of the township. Several good mill privileges are afforded. The rock entering into the geological structure of the territory is entirely of the calciferous mica schist formation, except in the extreme southeastern and southwestern corners, where it is oi gneiss formation. In 1880 Woodstock had a population of 2,815, ^"'^ '" '^^2 it was divided into fourteen school districts and contained seventeen common schools, em- ploying seven male and twenty-five female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $3,938.72. There were 607 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $4,688.59, with N. P. Wood, superintendent. Woodstock, the county seat, is a beautiful little village nestled among the hills in the northern part of the town, at the western terminus of the Wood- stock railroad. The boundaries of the village were established December 14, 18 1 9, as follows : — '•Beginning at the easterly side of the highway at a point opposite the northeast corner of the barn nearest the road on the ^\■ardwell farm, so-called [being the Blake farm, now owned by Benjamin S. Dana,] ; thence southerly on a straight line by the easterly side of the brick house standing at the cor- ner of said highway and the turnpike to the south side of said turnpike road opposite the southeast corner of said brick house [the brick house on the east side of the road which was recently burned, belonging to Oliver T. Hatch] ; thence southwesterly in a direct line to the large elm tree standing on the top of the hill east of the Oil-mill brook [Mount Peg] ; thence south- erly in a direct line to the southeast corner of Lyman Mower's meadow lot [now owned by Rufus Townsend] ; thence on the south line of said lot, across the highway, and on the southerly line of said Mower's pasture to the southwest corner of the same [now owned by saiil Townsend] ; thence in a direct line to the southwest corner of the house now owned by Jared Rickard [the Hiram Powers house] ; thence by the westerly end of said house, and on a line with the same, to the highway ; thence across the river to the two black-cherry trees on the north sitje of the highway, opposite L. TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. 287 & B. F. Mower's mill yard [near where the house now occupied by Liberty B. Marble stands] ; thence on a direct line northerly to the northwest corner of the small dweUing house owned by Henry C. Denison, Esq., northerly of the clothier's shop [this house stood on the site, or near by, where Allen Thompson's house now is] ; thence by the northerly end of said house to the northeast corner thereof ; thence on a direct line to the southwest corner of the school house, near the dwelUng house of the said H. C. Denison, Esq.; and thence easterly in a direct Hne to the place of beginning." The tract thus bounded was made a corporate village by an act of the leg- islature, approved November 11, 1836, and now has about thirteen hundred inhabitants, and is divided into five wards. The stranger visiting Wood- stock will at once be struck with its general air of quiet elegance and refine- ment. The broad, shaded streets are lined with tasty, and in many instances elegant residences, and cross and recross Quechee river, a bright, sparkHng stream, that here affords a good mill-power, while near the centre of the vil- lage is a beautiful public square, comprising several acres of land, hand- somely laid out and thickly studded with fine maples. The visitor will also become conscious of the prevalence of a high religious sentiment, evinced by the heavenward pointing spires of the five imposing churches that meet his eye (Congregational, Unitarian, Universalist, Episcopal and Methodist,); while he will find his temporal wants looked after by a score or so of mer- chants of diff"erent kinds and a good hotel awaiting his arrival. The village has also a National Bank, Savings Bank, two weekly newspapers, — The Ver- mont Standard and The Spirit of the Age,— 3. flourishing graded school, a beautiful library building, a good court-house and a strong jail. Now, if the visitor pleases, we will conduct him through " the labyrinth of faded years '' and reveal to him the first steps taken towards building the beau- tiful village in which he has found himself. In 1771 Joab Hoisington, of Wind- sor, began to make arrangements for moving into Woodstock. He purchased a large tract of land of Jonathan Grout and Ohvrt Willard, the Willard pur- chase embracing a thousand acres, more or less, including the present site of the village. Upon this purchase he settled with his family, in the spring of 1772, building a log cabin upon the present site of the Eagle Hotel. He also took out a Hcense as a tavern-keeper, at the June term of the court of common pleas of that year. His brother Asahel came from Windsor about the same time, though he located in the southern part of the township, upon lands he had purchased of Joab. In company with Joab and Asahel came John Hoisington, whom tradition asserts was the father of the brothers, though upon this point we are not clear. He purchased two hundred acres of land of OHver Willard, covering the territory through which the lower half of Pleasant street now passes, and extending across Quechee river, taking in a part of what is now Mr. BilUng's meadow, the fair ground, etc. For the site of his dwell- ing he selected a spot on the edge of the plain, about ten rods up the stream from the present brick church. Thus coniimenced the first settlement of the village of Woodstock. Joab Hoisington died in 1780, and in 1781 John left the town. 2g8 TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. In 1789, within what is now the village, besides the rudiments of a court- house, the only buildings were a tavern, put up by Capt. Israel Richardson, " to accommodate the court folks,"* four dwelling houses, a dilapidated grist and saw-mill, built by Joab Hoisington in 1776, and a 30 by 40 feet barn, in which Rev. Aaron Hutchinson gathered the first church in the township. All that constitutes Elm street and its contiguous grounds and houselots, now one of the pleasantest in the village, was then an unbroken forest, and remained so for a little while thereafter, when it was purchased by Hon. Charles Marsh and opened for improvement. In the year 1800 the number of inhabitants had increased to about two hundred, while nearly all the buildings were clustered around the park, or " Green " as it was then called, though a few dotted at long intervals the sides of the old town road that passed from the park down what is now Central street. Still, though the village was small, the town itself contained a larger rural population than it has to-day. The census of that year gave Woodstock 2,100 inhabitants, nearly all of whom were living on the hillsides, engaged in farming, while the borders overflowed with young men; for the West had not yet opened with her attractions to draw them away, neither was there any disposition yet developed to be leaving the rural districts and crowding into the villages. Bridges. For a few years after the settlement, as the inhabitants could not affoid to build bridges over the Quechee, the river was forded at three different places in the present village, viz. : at the house of Elias Thomas, where Henry John- son now hves, at a point behind the brick church, and at the place where the old court-house bridge subsequently crossed it. After Woodstock became the shire town and the court-house was built, it was resolved to have a bridge at the " common." Therefore, at the sessions of the legislature at Newbury October, 1787, Benjamin Emmons, the member for that year, secured the passage of an act laying a tax of two pence on the acre of lands in Wood- stock, public lands excepted, for the purpose of building a bridge over Que- chee river. The following summer the bridge was built, located nearly on the site afterwards occupied by the so-called court-house bridge. This bridge lasted about nine years, when a new one was required. To meet the expense of building the same, Benjamin Swan and Moses Osgood obtained a grant from the legislature, in March, 1797, to raise $500.00 by a lottery. What resulted from this lottery business is not known ; but during the following summer a subscription paper for building a bridge was circulated, drawn up by Mr. Swan, which read as follows : — " We, the subscribers whose names are hereunto annexed, do promise and agree to pay to Jabez Bennett the several sums set against our names, for * The erection of Woodstock into a shire town, the building of a court-house, etc., narrated on pages 33 and 34. • TOWN OF WOODSTOCK.

Many other bridges have been built since that time, and the village now has three good bridge structures, one at Elm street, one at Union street and one at Church street. Woodstock Gaslight Company. The village of Woodstock is now well supplied with illuminating gas of a superior quality. The above-named company was incorporated by an act of the legislature, approved November 9, 1855, with a capital of $10,000. The first officers were Thomas E. Powers, president, and Thomas E. Powers, Solomon Woodward and George Mellish, directors. The construction of the works was immediately commenced, and gas was made the same year. The works are located just off Church street, near the river. Gas was first made from rosin, the machinery for its manufacture being brought from Providence., R. I. During the war, however, r»sin became so expensive that the process had to be given up, and machinery for converting raw petroleum, or crude oil, was substituted. This process was in use until about 1873, when it was changed for that now in use known as the Butler patent, con- verting paraffine oil into gas. The pure gas is used ; that is, not mixed with oxygen, and is said to equal, in strength and briUiancy, five times the same quantity of coal gas. About two miles of mains are laid throughout the vil- lage, and the works have the capacity for manufacturing 5,000 feet per day. The present offices of the company are C. P. Marsh, president, and C. P. Marsh, Frederick Billings and Franklin N. Billings, directors. Banks. The Woodstock Bank was originally chartered November 9, 1831, with a capital of $60,000, and with Job Lyman, president; Lyndon A. Marsh, cashier ; and Job Lyman, Benjamin Swan, Lyman Mower, George W. Rice and Edmund S. Hayden, directors. On a re-organization, under a charter of 18-1 jjjga TOWN OF WnODSTpCK. 1844, the following officers were appointed: Oliver P. Chandler, president; Eliakim Johnson, cashier ; and Oliver P. Chandler, Julius Converse, John Porter, Philo Hatch, Amtni Willard and William Skinner, directors. In 1865 it was converted into a National bank, and the capital has from time to time been increased so that it is now $300,000. The present officers are Freder- ick Billings, president ; Oliver P. Chandler, vice-president ; Henry C. John- son, cashier ; and Frederick Billings, Oliver P. Chandler, John Porter, Frank N. BiUings and William E. Johnson, directors. The Ottaquechee Savings Bank was chartered by the legislature, and commenced business in 1848, since which time it has been in successful oj)- eration. The object of the institution is to afford a medium for the industri- ous and economical for investing their money in a secure and profitable man- ner. It has at present 1,894 deposits, with G. R. Chapman, treasurer. Library. Woodstock has also a fine public library and a beautiful library building, the latter was built in 1883, upon the site of the old Norman Williams home- stead, a present to the town from Dr. Edward H. Williams, of Philadelphia, a son of the late Norman Williams. The plan of the building is simple, con- sisting of a main building containing the library proper, and the entrance lobby communicating on the right with the reading-room, and on the left with the office and the conversation-room. This disposition gives a direct approach to any one of the rooms independent of the others ; while the office, directly connected with the library and the reading-room, is isolated so as to be out of reach of any noise from the other three apart- ments. The conversation and reading-rooms have also a pleasant outlook front over the public park. The construction of the building is sohd and substanstial in every respect, and the design quiet and dignified as befits a memorial building. The style is such as to admit of the use of local stone to advantage. The wall facing is of red Burlington stone, squared but not dressed, over a base of Barre granite, with cut work of Isle La Motte gray limestone. The front consists of a central gable over an arcade of three arches handsomely moulded, carried by two columns of polished gray granite, enclosing a porch which communicates with the main entrace hall. The reading-room on the right and the conversation-room on the left form wings to this central gable, and complete a frontage of sixty-seven feet six inches. Above the arcade appears a band of cut stone work between moulded courses, containing the name of the building, " The Norman Williams Public Library ;" and over this in the upper part of the gable is a small, richly moulded window and an inscription giving the date of erection, "Ano Domini MDCCCLXXXIII." The flank presents a frontage of seventy-six feet three inches, of which the gable of the wing occupies thirty feet four inches, and the side of the library makes up the rest. The library will accommodaK about 13,000 volumes, arranged in cases set at right angles to the wall. The TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. "288 windows are high enough to clear the top of the cases, and the walls be- tween them up to this height (eight feet) are lined with polished Vermont marbles of different colors. The floor of the porch is also of marble. The reading-room, conversation-room and office are wainscotted five feet high, and the former contains a large open fire-place with a very handsome terra cotta mantel. The others have open fire-places with marble mantles. The build- ing is heated with hot air furnaces in the basement, and every precaution has been taken to ensure warmth during the severe winter weather. Eagle Hotel. This hotel is one of the landmarks of the village. It was built by Capt. Israel Richardson, in 1792. It then consisted of a two-story building facing the park, with an ell of one story in the direction of South street. The captain himself went " down to Boston " in August, it seems, and bought glass, paint, nails, etc., for this building and for the new court-house then in course of erection on the opposite side of the park. The ware first used on the table was blue, and in addition to the rum, ten gallons of brandy and ten gallons of sherry sufficed in stocking the bar. The hotel stood without change, except from necessary repairs, till 1822, when Titus Hutchinson put up the brick wing on the Hne of the park for a dining-room and hall. Lyman Mower had charge of building this wing, and Nathan Gushing drew the lum- ber and brick and assisted in laying the foundation. It was in the hall of this building that Dr. Joseph A. Gallup, in 1827, delivered the first course of lectures before the medical school that formerly flourished in the village. About the year 1828 or 1830, while it was the property of Col. Cutting, a third story was added to the wood part of the building and the piazzas put np. During the years 1830 and 1832, or thereabouts, an eccentric creature named Moody Heath lived in the village. He was an expert workman in all kinds of wood carving, and during his stay here was in the employ of Fisher & McLaughlin, doing all their work of this kind. Among other things he carved the gilded eagle which has given name to the hotel and which still adorns it, doing the work in Joseph Churchill's paint shop. In 1867, Calvin A. Fairbanks began making thorough repairs and added a fourth story to the building, the house being ready for guests the following summer. The build- ing now has a dining-room thirty by thirty-four feet, two parlors and a sitting- room, office, and forty sleeping rooms. On December 11, 1848, Titus Hutchinson sold the Sons of Temperance the hall of the brick wing for $500.00, which they still continue to own and occupy. Manufactures. The first manufactory erected in the village was the old saw and grist-mill, previously mentioned, built by Joab Hoisington in 1776. The next manu- factory of any importance, except, perhaps, for the manufacture of potash and pearl ashes, was the old oil-mill, built by Jacob Wilder, in 1793-94. He 2g8« TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. did a large business in the manufacture of linseed oil, which was prosecuted by various parties, down to 1829, when the oil-mill was converted into a furnace. The Woodstock Woolen Mills gave a great impetus to the growth of the town. Their construction was begun by a stock company, who earned the enterprise forward until the walls were up and the roof on, when operations ceased. Thus matters stood for several years, the property coming into the posses- sion of Darius Blake, who, in 1847, sold it to Solomon Woodard, of Millbury, Mass. Mr. Woodard was born in Keene, N. H., in May, 1802. Here he re- sided until he was twenty-one years of age, when he went to Millbury and was employed in a woolen factory, where he learned his trade and remained until he came to Woodstock, in 1847. When he came here, some fears were enter- tained as to a permanent supply of water, so a pond and a tract of land were purchased in Plymouth, near the sources of the river, to insure an unfailing supply. Mr. Woodard's purchase was made mainly by contributions from the citizens of the town as an inducement for him to start the railL He had previ- ously owned and run a mill in Millbury, Mass., and when he finally moved here a large number of the operatives, including two of his brothers, who had long been in his employ, came with him. It is needless to say that the colony thus established was mainly composed of men who were substantial citizens as well as good workmen, and so added materially to the prosperity of the town. Immediately on coming into possession of the property, vigor- ous measures were employed to put the mill in operation. These were so far successful that in January, 1848, the water was first turned on the wheels and the hum of machinery was again heard. Following this came as fast as prac- ticable other improvements. New houses were built for the operatives, others repaired and purchased, and the work of renovation was constantly progressing. In 185 s the old sawmill and grist-mill were torn down and the present thoi^ oughly built and substantial structures were erected in their places. Mr. Woodard continued the business until 1877, when the property passed into the hands of Judge Hilton, as a part of the estate of A. T. Stewart, of New York city, when operations were ceased and the mills have since been idle. Mr. Woodard died May i, 1879. B. F. Standislis tannery, located on the river, at Woodstock village, was built by Mr. Standish, in 1874, where he now does a lai^e business A tan- nery was established on this site about fifty years ago by removing to it the old Union church and converting it into a building for that purpose. In 1859 Mr. Standish and Charles I). Perkins purchased the property, carrying on the business under the firm name of Perkins & Standish. This firm did business for the ensuing five years, when Mr. Standish became sole propietor and has continued the business since. In 1873 '''^ buildings were destroyed by fire and were rebuilt the following )ear. About 10,000 sides of heavy leather and 5,000 calf skins are tanntd annually, most of which are brought from the west. TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. '288 C. W. Sayward's sash, door and blind factory, located on Center street, is operated by water-power and gives employment to five men. West Woodstock is a pleasant little village, located about a mile south- west of Woodstock. It has one store, the Daniels Machine Co.'s works, a saw-mill, school-house, etc., and about twenty dwellings. The first settlement of West Woodstock, which for many years was known as " The Flats,'' was made as follows: On the 14th of June, 1776, Joseph Safford, of Hardwick, Mass., bought of Jonathan Grout, of Petersham, 300 acres of land, situated near the center of Woodstock, resting on the west bank of Quechee river and spreading out in a northerly direction with a surface beautifully varied by level and hillside. On the plain, removed back from the river some little ■distance, Safford built a house in due time, and thus was begun the first set- tlement of " The Flats," or West Woodstock. Col. Safford was a carpenter. Three years after his first purchase he deeded to his son Jesse eighty acres of this land, lying directly on the river and embracing the territory now occupied by the mills and underlying a large portion of the village which has grown up here. This spot thus early occupied by the Saffords became in due time a kind of center for the westerly part of the town. All the lands on the river up to the Bridgewater line and so back on the hills west and north were soon taken up by an excellent class of men. There were the Raymonds, the Churchills, Phinea? Williams, the Delanoes, the Meachams, the Bennetts, and so on through a long list that might be mentioned. These people wanted mills and school-houses and churches. A site for a mill was chosen on Jesse Safford's land, a saw-mill and grist-mill were put up by solid Jabez Bennett, who continued the owner of the same for thirty years. Capt. Ephraim Eddy erected clothing mills in the vicinity and had his fulling mills in the lower part of the grist-mill. In the year 1804 carding mills were added. Probably about 1793, a school-house was built on the flat. It stood on the north side of the main road. It was a wood building over fifty feet long, with chimneys on each end and with two front doors, one an entrance for the boys and the others for the girls. The desks were arranged along the side walls and ex- tended the whole length of the school room. Taftsville is a pleasant httle post village located in the northeastern part of the town, on Quechee river. It has a store, school-house, several manufac- turing establishments and about twenty dwellings. The village was named in honor of Daniel Taft, its founder, who was born in 1778, and came from Mendon, Mass., to Woodstock, in 1792. He took up his residence with his brother Stephen, who had previously located at what is now Taftsville, and had built a dam there in 1790 and a saw-mi)l in 1791. In 1804 Stephen also built the saw-mill on the opposite side of the stream. Daniel and Seth Taft soon after purchased this mill of Stephen and carried on the business until 181 r, when Seth died and his interest was purchased by Daniel. About the time the mill was built, Stephen also erected a factory for the manufacture of scythes and axes, which ultimately came into the hands of 288' TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. Daniel. Daniel became a very prominent man in this vicinity, represented the town in the legislature of 1835, and in addition to maintaining the manu- facturing interests already mentioned, also established a foundry and machine shop. He married Thankful Wilson, of Mendon, Mass., and reared three sons, two of whom, Daniel and Paschal P., are now living, both at Taftsville. Daniel, St., died in 1857. South Woodstock, a very pleasant little post village, lies in the south- easterly part of the town. It has one church (Universalist), the Perkins Liberal Institute, the usual complement of merchants and mechanics shops, and about twenty-five dwellings. English Mills is a hamlet located in the northwestern part of the town. Charles H. E?iglislis saw, grist and cider-mills, located at the hamlet of English Mills, on road 1 5, were built at an early date. The saw-mill cuts 300,000 feet of lumber per year, the cider-mill manufactures 400 barrels of cider, and the grist-mill has two runs of stones. D. T. Walker's cider-mill, located on road 28, was established in 1865. Mr. Walker manufactures 500 barrels of cider per year. Charles H. Seaiier's saw-mill and chair stock factory, located at Taftsville, gives employment to four men and turns out about $6,000.00 worth of man- ufactured stock per annum. D. <5n B. D. Hathaway' s saw, g'ist and cider-mills located at Taftsville, were built by David Hathaway, in 1873. The gristmill has two runs of stones, the saw-mill cuts 600,000 feet of lumber per annum, and the cider- mill has the capacity for turning out 100 barrels of cider per day. Oliver Lear's shingle-mill, located on road 45, turns out 200,000 hemlock shingles annually. The Daniels Machine Go's works, located at \\'est Woodstock, were estabhshed by Reuben Daniels, in 1830. He manufactured woolen jacks, wool pickers, cards and cloth sheares exclusively until about 1850, when the firm title became Daniels & Raymond, and the manufacture of hay. rag and rope cutters was added. December 24, 1864, the shops were destroyed by fire. A little later the Daniels Machine Co. was organized, and in Novem- ber, 1879, Wales N. Johnson purchased the property, forming, immediately after, an equal partnership with Isaiali Benson, and these gentlemen have since successfully carried on the business. Ira Dutton's saw-mill, located on South branch, corner of roads 20 and 22, manufactures soft and hard wood lumber, and is also supplied with machinery for planing and dressini;, Allen W. Thompson' s grist-mill, located at Woodstock village, was built in 1849, by Henry C. Denison, and came into iMr. Thompson's possession in 1856. The mill has three runs of stones and a corn crusher, and does custom grinding. The town farm for the support of the poor, is located in the southern part of the town, on road 53. It consists of a tract of 240 acres, under the TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. '288 efficient management of Levi J. Merrill. The farm labor is mostly done by the indigent inmates. First Settlement. The first permanent settlement in the township of Woodstock was begun by James Sanderson. On the 4th day of December, 1768, he came here from Hartland, stuck his stakes and built a brush cabin about a mile and a half southeast of the court-house, upon the farm now owned by Ira Atwood. The following autumn, however, he moved north, down near the river, a short distance below the village j but about 1779 he moved to the place now occupied by O. Morgan, when he died at the age of forty-five years. Mr. Sanderson married Polly Powers, and reared seven children, the eldest, Ben- jamin, being six weeks of age when his parents came to the town. He mar- ried Polly Shaw, September 15, 1793, and reared a family of five daughters and one son. He owned a farm of three hundred acres, was an intelligent reading man, and was reputed by his neighbors to be quite wealthy. While Mr. Sanderson was the first actual settler, however, Timothy Knox was the first white man, of whom we have any account, who set foot upon the soil. The tradition is that he left Harvard University before finishing his studies, about the year 1765, and spent three years in this section as a hunter and trapper, but making no permanent settlement. Subsequently, however, he made a settlement in town and died here in 1807, aged eighty- two years. Other settler must have followed in the footsteps of Sanderson quite rapidly, for at the taking of the census of Cumberland county, in 1771, the town had a total population of forty-two souls, ten of whom were heads of families, named as follows : Andrew Powers, Abraham Powers, William Powers, James Powers, James Harwood, James Sanderson, Joseph Call, Ebenezer Dike, Ebenezer Call and John Sanderson. In 1791, this popula- tion had increased to 1,605, ^"'^ ^^ ^^^° ^' ""^^ 2,610. Windsor at that time had a population of 2,956, and Springfield, 2,704, these three towns having the largest population in the State. The town was organized and the first town meeting held in May, 1773, when Joab Hoisington was chosen town clerk ; Daniel Waldo, Jaseph Cottle, Ezra Drew and Joseph Call, constables ; and Benjamin Emmons, Nathan Howland and Phineas Williams, selectmen. The first justices of the peace were Benjamin Emmons and Jabez Cottle, m 1786. The first representative was John Strong, elected in March, 1778. The first birth was that of Olive, daughter of James Sanderson, in 1770. Jabez Delano was the first male born, June 3, 1772. The first grist-mill and and first saw-mill were built by Joab Hoisington, in 1776, both being located within a few rods of where the county jail now stands. Dr. Stephen Powers viraslhe first resident physician. He came from Middleboro, Mass., in 1774, and built the second house at the village. The general assembly of Vermont met at the court-house here in October, 1807, Titus Hutchinson representing the town. »The only execution that ever occurred here was that of Samuel E. 2 88' TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. Godfrey, on the "green," for murdering Capt. Hulett, superintendent of the prison, in 1818. Joab Hoisington, previously mentioned as the first settler of Woodstock village, was the son of John Hoisington, of Farmington, Conn. John was born in 1713, was married to Sarah Temple, of Wallingford, November 3, 1 735- They had sons and daughters; among the number, Joab, born Sep- tember 19, 1736; Rhoda, born December 19, 1741 ; and Asahel, born December 3, 1746. In 1763 Joab Hoisington and Benjamin Bishop, both of the same town, accompanied Steele Smith, the first settler in Windsor, to that town on one of his excursions thereto, and the following year Smith, with his wife and four children, made the first permanent settlement there. Hoisington a.nd Bishop soon followed him. Hoisington became a large landholder in Wind- sor and took an active part in all measures for promoting the interests of the town. His house was on the spot where the Edward Forbes house now stands — the first house on the right hand as you enter the village from the north. His farm extended probably south to the Otis house, so-called, which stands in the centre of the village, where the minister's lot was located. The " Hoisington brook," on which his house was built, must be what has since been called Pulk Hole brook. One sad event connects Joab with the early history of that town. He and another citizen by the name of Bartlett went into the swamp which was watered by Pulk Hole brook to hunt deer. Going in different directions they lost sight of each other, and Mr. Hoisington shot and killed his companion by mistake. The event cast great gloom over the new settlement. They had to send to Charlestown, N. H., for a coroner, and after a careful examination he was aquitted of all blame. One thing more may be mentioned in connection with Joab's life in Wind- sor. On September 21, 1768, the church of " Cornish and Windsor" was organized, of which Hoisington was one of the founders. At the same time ten citizens of Windsor signed a bond running for five years, to secure Mr. Wellman, the pastor, his annual salary. First on the list of signers stood Joab's name. In 1771, he began to make arrangements for moving into Wood- stock, and in the spring of the following year came here and located as mentioned on page 287. James Harwood, a native of England, came with his family to Woodstock in 1769, the third to settle here, locating upon the farm now owned by George Brewster. He married Eunice Brooks and reared six children, three sons and three daughters. The sons died young and the daughters married and settled in the town. The only representatives of the family now residing here are Mrs. Betsey H. (Call) Pelton, a granddaughter, and her four chil- dren, Erastus C, Melinda C, Betsey C. (Mrs. Samuel W. Soule), and Lucy E. (Mrs. F. A. Holt). Mr. Harwood died in 1805. Benjamin Emmons came to Woodstock, from Hinsdale. N. H., in March, 1772, locating upon the farm now occupied by Henry Vaughan. He assisted in the organization of the town the following year, was a justice of the peace TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. several years, a deacon of the Congregational church, etc. In 1807 he left the town and died in St. Louis, Mo., in 1812. All of his eleven children, except one, attained an adult age. His only relatives now living in the town are a granddaughter, Miss Marcia Carver, aged eighty-six years, and two great-granddaughters, Betheny and Caroline Hagar, all residing on Pleasant street, at Woodstock village. Seth Darling was an early settler in the town. He came from Camden, Conn., and located upon the farm now occupied by E. S. Gallup, on road 19. He married Chloe Marsh and had twelve children. Jason L. Darling, a grand- son, resides on road 20. Moses Benson, a native of Middlebury, Mass., was among the early settlers, locating at what is now English Mills. He married Experience Gibbs, June 13, 1796, and reared nine children, one of whom, Hosea, eighty-three years of age, resides on road 17. Moses was one of the twelve who established the Christian church. George Thomas, from Middlebury, Mass., made the first settlement on the farm now owned by Joseph C. MacKenzie. Mr. Thomas served as a private during the Revolutionary war, and at its close was paid off in continental money, with which he purchased one hundred acres of land in Vermont, upon which he located soon after. He was twice married, and reared eight children, six by his first wife and two by his second. His descendants on the old homestead have now many articles of furniture and other relics that they prize highly, which he brought with him to the town. Joel English, born at Andover, Conn., was among the pioneers of the northwestern part of the town, where he purchased mills standing upon the present site of English Mills. He married Tryphenia, daughter of Benajah Strong, of Hartford, Vt. Four of their children settled in the town and three are now living here. Elisha Nye came to this town at an early date, locating upon the farm now owned by Seneca Winslow, where he resided until 182 1, when he removed to Barnard, Vt, though he finally returned to Woodstock, spending his last days with his son, David T., where he died at the advanced age of eighty-seven years. Bela Simmons came to Woodstock at an early date, locating upon the farm now occupied by Austin E. Simmons. Mr. Simmons held the office of justice of the peace for many years and taught singing school nineteen years. He died in 1835, aged sixty-one years. His only son, Benjamin F., held many of the town offices, and died in 1843, aged thirty-seven years, leaving three children. John Anthony, a retired sea captain, came to Woodstock among the early settlers, locating in the southern part of the town. Mr. Anthony was twice married and six of his children attained a mature age, two of whom, Mrs. Verona Houghton, of Dubuque, Iowa, and Edward, of Cornish, N. H., are living. Two grandchildren, Mrs. John C. Morgan and Miss Nancy Anthony, now reside here. 288'° TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. Levi Blossom, from Bridgewater, Mass., came to Woodstock at an early date, locating where W. B. Switzer now resides. He was twice married, reared a family of nine children, and died at the age of eighty-six years. Only three of his children are living, viz. : Mrs. Abigail Bishop, Levi and Charles H. Hiram Powers, the sculptor, a man of whom Woodstock people probably feel more proud than any other ever a resident here, was born in the well- known Powers house, on Church hill. His grandfather, Dr. Stephen Powers, came to Woodstock, from Plymouth county, Mass., in 1774, and was the first resident physician of the town, and built the second log house on the " Green." He had two sons, Stephen and John, and two daughters. Ste- phen engaged in farming and was the father of six sons and two daughters. Hiram was the fifth son, born July 29, 1805. While yet a child he moved with his parents to Ohio, where his father soon after died. After his death, Hiram was engaged as an assistant in a reading-room of an hotel, then in a produce store, and finally in a clock-making establishment. Becoming acquainted with a German sculptor he acquired from him knowledge of the art of modeling in plaster. At the age of thirty he repaired to Washington, where he met with considerable encouragement, modeling the busts of many prominent men. He was well paid for his labors, and at the same time acquired the friendship of Mr. Nicholas Longworth, who assisted him to visit Italy, in 1837 ; and he made that home of art his home, residing prin- cipally at Florence, where he died, June 27, 1873. His first great work, his Eve, was produced in 1838. Among his many great ideal works are The Greek Slave, The Fisher Boy, La Pensierosa, America, California, Paradise Lost, and The Last of the Tribes. Of his busts, are Proserpine, Genevera, Psyche, Diana, Clythe, Hope, Faith, Charity, and Christ Our Saviour. To show the estimation in which these works were held it is only necessary to say that the orignal Greek Slave was purchased at auction, by the Duke of Cleveland, in London, some years since, for $10,000.00, and the fourth copy of it, for the Prince Demidorfs gallery, was sold at Paris for $10,500.00. Ephraiin Brewster, a decendant of Elder Brewster, who came to this coun- try in the " Mayflower," came to Woodstock, from Preston, Conn., in the spring of 1775, purchasing three hundred acres of land on the South Branch of Otta Quechee river, about a mile and a half south of the court-house. The following spring he moved his family here. His wife was Miss Margary Parks, daughter of Elder Paul Parks, of Preston, Conn., by whom he reared six children, viz. : Polly, Paul, Sally, Seth, Ephraim and Margary. Mr. Brewster served in the French and Indian war, and was one of the number who went thu rescue of Royaltonin 1780. He died May 10,1810, aged seventy- nine years. Mrs. Brewster died February 20, 1841. Paul and Dr. Ephraim Brewster served in the war of i8r2, the former as a nurse in the hospital, the latter as a physician, and was accidently drowned in Lake Champlain. Hon. Charles Marsh, LL. D., son of Hon. Joseph Marsh, mentioned on TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. "288 page iz8, was born at Lebanon, Conn., July lo, 1765, graduated from Dart- mouth college in 1786, studied law, and began practice in Woodstock in 1789. Here, while building for himself a dwelling on the north side of Quechee river, near where he built his brick mansion in 1805, '06 and '07, he boarded at a farm house about a mile out of the present limits of the village. Mr. Marsh was for fifty years devoted to his profession, and for a long time at the head of the bar in the State. He served as a member of congress from 1815 to 1817, and while in Washington became identified with the American Colonization Society as one of its founders. He acquired great popularity as a patron of benevolent societies generally, and was a highly influential and useful citizen. He died at Woodstock, January 11, 1849. The degree of LL. D. was conferred upon him by Dartmouth college. Mr. Marsh was twice married. By his first wife, Nancy Collins, of Litch- field, Conn., to whom he was united in 1789, he had a son and daughter. The son, Charles, studied law, and died in 1817. The daughter became the wife of Dr. Burnell, of Woodstock. Mrs. Marsh died in 1793. For his second wife, Mr. Marsh married Mrs. Josiah L. Arnold, daughter of Dr. Elisha Perkins, of Plainfield, Conn. This union was blessed with four sons, — Lyndon A., George P., Joseph and Charles, and one daughter, Sarah B., whose daughter is the wife of Senator Edmunds. The second Mrs. Marsh died in 1853. One of these sons, George P., was our late lamented minister to Italy. He was born in Woodstock, March 15, 1801, and educated at Dart- mouth college, where he graduated in 1820. He afterwards removed to Burlington, where he commenced the study of law, and afterwards made that place his home. After his admission to the bar, he came into an exten- sive practice, and devoted much of his time to politics. He was a member of the State legislature in 1835, and in 1842 lie took his seat in the United States house of representatives, where he continued until he was sent as a resident minister to Turkey, in 1 849, by President Taylor. At this post he rendered essential service to the cause of civil and religious toleration in the Turkish Empire. He was also charged with a special mission to Greece, in 1852. But especially was Mr. Marsh known as an author and scholar. He devoted much attention to tbe languages and literature of the North of Europe, and his sympathies seem to be with the Goths, whose presence he traced in whatever is great and peculiar in the founders of New England. In a work entitled The Goths in New England, he has contrasted the Gothic and Roman characters, which he appears to regard as the great antagonistic principles of society at the present day. He was also the author of a gram- mar of the old Northern or Icelandic knguage, and of various essays, liter- ary and historical, relating to the Goths and their connections with America. He was also the author of an interesting work on the camel ; also of a work on the English language, which occupies a very high rank ; and still another of great merit, entitled Man and Nature, and his miscellaneous published ad- dresses and speeches are quite numerous. After his return from Turkey he 288" TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. performed the duties of commissioner of railroads for Vermont. In 1861, he was appointed by President Lincoln, Minister to Italy, where he died. His library, said to be one of the finest in this country, rich beyond com- pare in Scandinavian literature, is now the property of the University of Ver- mont. Dr. Joseph Gray, who spent many years of a long life in Woodstock, was born in Nottingham West, N. H., February 9, 1788. Before he was two years old his parents removed to Mason, N. H., where he received a common school education, and at the age of eighteen began the study of medicine, under his father, a practitioner of the old school ; and continued his medical studies with his oldest brother. Dr. Henry Gray, late of Weston, Vt. His parents, Joseph Gray, M. D., and Lucy Bancroft, were married in 1780, and Joseph was the fourth of their nine children. His brother Isaac was taken prisoner in the war of 18 12, and for a time was in Dart Moor prison, England. Joseph listened eagerly to the consultations of physicians, watched the effects of opium, calomel, and other drugs, then freely used, and then said, "I will find a better way or never go into practice.'' "Seeking,'' according to the promise, "he found." In 1809 and 1810, he practiced with Dr. Amasa Ford, a Botanical physician, and soon after practiced with Dr. Samuel Thomson, subsequently purchasing hispractice. With this varied information was combined keen.shrewd judgment, and he used only such remedies he beHeved best calculated to restore health, regardless of the name, or school to which they belonged. July 11, 1811, Dr. Gray married Eunice Russell, youngest daughter of John Russell, Esq., of Cavendish. She died June 9, 1859, aged sixty-eight years and four months. Her children, one son and four daughters, all survived her death, and reared families of their own. The tastes of Dr. Gray and his wife were de- cidedly literary, reading forming a part of their daily life, and that too, of a choice and instructive character. When Dr. Gray's cousin, the Hon. George Bancroft, was secretary of the navy, and afterwards minister plenipotentiary to the court of St. James, the Doctor was often asked why he did not seek for ofiice through his relative. But Dr. Gray had an independent spirit. If he had but little, he made that little sufficient. His medical fees were al- ways moderately remunerative, but his family were never encouraged in ex- travagant habits, consequently he had the pleasure in his old age of sending a check for five hundred dollars to the Orphan's Home, at Burlington, Vt, in 1876. Dea. Daniel Ralph, born in Bellerica, Mass., May 21, 1747, married Pris- cilla Beals and came to Woodstock in 1775, locating upon the farm now oc- cupied by Mr. Henry \Valker, Mrs. Walker being his youngest grandchild. Dea. Ralph reared eight children, none of whom are now living, and died March 22, 1826. Mrs. Ralph died July 30, 1825, aged seventy-two years. William McClay was born in Scotland in 1743, and when about twenty- seven years of age came to America, locating soon after at Charlestown, N. H. Here he married, and his wife died soon after. For his second wife he TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. "288 married Polly Farnsworth, June 17, 1775, and during that year, in company with his brother-in-law, Jonathan Farnsworth, came to Woodstock. Mr. Farnsworth located upon a farm in the southern part of the town, while Mr. McClay located about four miles west of Woodstock village. After seeing his brother-in-law well established in his new home, Mr. McClay returned to Charlestown, remaining there about five years ; then came to Woodstock, re- maining here the rest of his life.

Chauncey Richardson, son of Lysander and grandson of Capt. Israel Rich- ardson, was born in this town February 20, 1793, and has resided here all his life, being now ninety years of age. The house in which he was born was located upon the grounds now occupied by the Woodstock Railroad depot, where his father resided until 1800, when he located upon the farm now occu- pied by Chauncey, and died there in 181 3. Chauncey, like many other farmer's sons, received only a scanty, common school education, but by vir- tue of close observation and the aid of the South Woodstock library, which was under his care more than fifty years, and by availing himself of the bene- fits of a lyceum which he was instrumental in sustaining nearly twenty years, he obtained a large fund of practical information. In early life Mr. Richard- son was engaged in the manufacture of spinning-wheels, though he soon turned his whole attention to farming. He has never sought political honors, nor responded to the popular voice when it conflicted with his private con- victions. About 1 860 he began to gather historical, biographical and statis- tical information relative to his native town, and now has a valuable collec- tion of information. March 11, 1819, Mr. Richardson was united in marriage to Rebecca Carey, of Hartland, the union being blessed with two children, one dying in infancy, while the other. Mrs. Thomas R. Carlton, now resides with him.. Silas Perry came to Woodstock in 1793 and located on road 34, where Miss Emeline M. Perry now resides. Mr. Perry was the father of nine chil- dren, none of whom are Hving, and died suddenly at the age of sixty-two years. The homestead was then divided among his heirs, whose rights Elisha Perry bought in, and resided on the place until his death, in 1872, aged seventy-four years. William Perkins came to Hartland. from Lyme, Conn., in 1793, locating in the western part of the town, where his grandson Norman Perkins, now resides. About five years after he removed to South Woodstock, where he and his son EHsha built a tannery and engaged in tanning and in the manu- facture of boots and shoes. Later he retired from business and took up his residence with his son Francis, where he continued to reside until his death, aged eighty years. He was twice married and had six children, all but one of whom attained the advanced age of eighty years and upwards. Caleb Atwood came from Carver, Mass., in 1802, purchasing of John Paddock a farm about half a mile north of English Mills. Mr. Atwood mar- ried Elizabeth Cobb, of Middlebury, Mass., reared seven children, and died October 29, 1851. Of his children now living, Mrs. Nancy Thatcher resides in Washington, D. C; Sarah S. resides with her brother, Horatio N., on road l^ ; and Ira resides near Woodstock village. Richard Smith, born in 1750, came from Lyme, Conn., about 1795, and after a short residence in Bridgewater, located in Woodstock upon the farm now occupied by his grandson, William H. Smith. He married Lois Rogers, and two of their children, Arnold and EUas, settled in Woodstock. Norman W., son of Elias, now resides on road 28. 288" TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. Francis Curtis, born in Massachusetts in 1 778, came to Woodstock ini797, and purchased a large tract of land in the southwestern part of the town, the location being now known as Curtis Hollow. Mr. Curtis was twice married and reared six children, the only one now living being Joseph E. He died July II, 1855. Hon. Jacob Collamer was born at Troy, N. Y., January 8, 1791. With his father, a Revolutionary soldier, he removed to Burlington, Vt., where he received his education, graduating from the University of Vermont with the class of 1810. After his admission to the bar, in 1813, he made a brief campaign in the last war with England, as a lieutenant of artillery in the detached militia of the United States service. After locating a year or two in Randolph, Vt., he settled in Royalton, where he remained uutil 1836, then came to Woodstock, which was his home from that time until his death. Having settled in Royalton, he represented that town in the legislature of 1821 '22, '27 and '28, was a member of the State constitutional convention in 1836, and was made associate justice of the supreme court of Vermont in 1833. He was continued on the bench until 1842, when he was electeda member of the house of representatives in the congress of the United States. Re-elected in 1846 and '47, he was, at the expiration of his service in this house, immediately called to the cabinet of President Taylor, resign- ing the place upon the death of the President in 1850. During that year he was again placed as a judge in the supreme court of Vermont, remaining until 1854, when he was elected a senator of the United States for six years, from 1855, being at the expiration of that time re-elected. At his first en- trance upon his duties in the senate he was placed upon the committee on territories, of which Judge Douglass was chairman, and made the celebrated reply of the minority (March 12, 1856) to the report of that distinguished gentleman on the territories of Nebraska and Kansas. The compact state- ment of facts, the logical deductions therefrom, and the powerful condensa- tion of the summing up at the conclusion, at once established his reputation in that body, of which he became so marked a member. At the close of his career he held the position of chairman of the committee on the postoffice and post roads, chairman of the joint committee on the library, and was also a member of the committee on the judiciary. He received the honorary de- gree of LL. D. from the Vermont University in 1849, ^''^^ from Dartmouth CQllege in 1857. Suffering from a sharp attack of congestion of the lungs, induced by a cold caught while returning from the funeral of a brother, Senator Collamer died from organic disease of the heart on the evening of Thursday, November 9, 1865, at his residence in Woodstock. Hon. Peter Thatcher Washburn was born at Lynn, Mass., September 7, 181 4. He was the son of Hon. Reuben Washburn, born in Leicester, Mass., December 30, 1781, and who, at the age of four years, removed to Putney, Vt., with his father, Asa Washburn, who was born in Leicester, July 25, 1757, and was the son of Seth Washburn, born in Bridgewater, May 19, 1723, the TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. son of Joseph Washburn, 2d, the son of Joseph Washburn, ist^ the son of John Washburn, 2d, the son of John Washburn, who came from Evesham, England, and as early as 1632 was in Duxbury, Mass., from which place he afterwards removed to Bridgewater, Mass. Hon. Reuben Washburn, father of Peter T., married October 10, 18 13, Miss Hannah Blaney Thatcher, daughter of Rev. Thomas C. Thatcher, of Lynn, Mass., and granddaughter of Rev. Peter Thatcher, D. D., for many years pastor of the Brattle street church, Boston. In February, 18 17, Reuben removed with his family to Chester, Vt., and after remaining there a short time, removed to Cavendish, and from there in 1825, to Ludlow, where he died, April 23, i860. Peter T. Washburn, or as he was better known in Vermont, General Washburn, graduated from Dartmouth college in 1835, ^'^^l immediately after his gradua- tion commenced the study of law with his father, with whom he remained except for three months when he was in the office of Hon. WilUam Upham, of Montpelier, until he was admitted to the bar, at the December term of the Windsor county court in 1838. January 7, 1839, he opened an office and commenced the practice of his profession at Ludlow, Vt., where he remained with a constantly increasing business and reputation, until 1844, when he re- moved to Woodstock, where he resided until his death, which occurred on the morning of Thursday, February 7, 1870. In October, 1844, Gen. Washburn was elected by the senate and house of representatives of Vermont, reporter of the decisions of the supreme court, and was annually re-elected at each ses- sion down to and including that of October, 1851. In 1853 and 1854, he represented Woodstock in the legislature. In October, i86i, he was elected adjutant and inspector general of Vermont, and continued as such by annual re-elections until the close of the war. At the time of his death he was Gov- ernor of Vermont, to which office he was elected in September, 1870, being the only Vermont governor who died in that office, and was also a trustee of the University of Vermont, and president of the Woodstock railroad. Lester Anson Miller, who served for so many years in the postoffice at Woodstock, was born in Pomfret, Vt,, July 13, 1810. His early years were spent on his father's farm, with but scanty opportunities for obtaining even a common school education. In October, 1827, he left his home in Pomfret and entered the office of the Woodstock Observer to learn the printer's trade. How long he remained here is not known, but he ultimately decided on a collegiate course, and as a preparatory step entered the Kimball Union Acad- emy, at Meriden, N. H. His health failed, however, and he was obliged to give up the plan and return to his father's bouse, who had in the meantime removed to Woodstock village. - In 183 1 or '32 he first entered the postoffice here, as clerk under Benjamin Swan, Jr., who was then postmaster. On the 24th of October, 1852, he became postmaster, an office he held until April 30, 1853, when a change in the political character of the administration led to a change in the office. After this he was a telegraph operator at White River Junction about two years, and two years chief clerk at the postoffice in 18—3 288" TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. Montpelier, Vt. In 1859 he came back to Woodstock and was a clerk in the postoffice until failing health obliged him to retire, in November, 1875, from which time his health gradually failed until his death, December 13, 1877. Mr. Miller had an active brain and was possessed of considerable literary ability, as many of his contributions to various journals, both in prose and poetry, amply testify. John Young was born in Newport, N. H., April 4, 1798, and in 1801 came to Bridgewater. During the latter part of the war of 1812 he enlisted and was in the service, and has drawn a pension therefor since 1870, February n^ 1882, he married Nancy A. Herrick, of Windsor, and, after living a number of years in Windsor and Bridgewater, came to Woodstock and has lived here with his aged consort since. Eight of this couple's sixteen children are still living, and they also have nineteen grandchildren. During the Revolutionary war, Elias Thomas and about twenty others from Woodstock marched through the forest to Saratoga, N. Y., and tendered their services to General Gates, and assisted in taking Burgoyne's army, Octo- ber 17, 1777. For this service they neither asked nor received any com- pensation. Edward C. Barnard, now residing on road 28, enlisted in the 7th Vt. Vols, during the late war, and was taken prisoner off Point Washington, Fla., Feb- ruary 9, 1864, and was confined in Andersonville and other prisons until March 27, 1865. The Congregational church, of Woodstock, was the first organized in the town. On the 3d of September, 1774, a special town meeting was held by the inhabitants of Woodstock at Joab Hoisington's house, a log hut standing directly on Maj. Churchill's corner. At this meeting it was voted to hire the Rev. Aaron Hutchinson for five years in connection with Hartford and Pom- fret, and a committee was appointed to carry the vote into effect. Mr. Hutchinson must have been well known to many of the settlers in the above named towns, and there is reason to believe that in .\pril, 1774. he visited this town and preached to the few settlers then living here. .Also during the same year, jf not before, he must have decided to locate himself permanently in the town of Pomfret. This seems to be established from what took place in a meeting of the proprietors of Pomfret, held November 24, 1774. Already there was a meeting house erected in Pomfret, but for the people of that town and of Hartfoid tiic usual place of worship during mild weather was a barn standing on the line between the two towns, built by Samuel Udall. In Woodstock the meetings were held in Joab Hoisington's barn, the first and for a while the only frame building in the town. This barn stood by the side of the old town road, about six rods to the west of the Judge Hutchinson house. During cold weather services were held often- times at Hoisington's house, which was a central spot and was kept as a tavern. Mr. Hutchinson was hired by the town and preached for the benefit of all its inhabitants, but forming the center and main stay of his congregatiotj TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. was a small body known and recognized as " Mr. Hutchinson's church." This was the first organization of the kind in the town, an^ reckoned among its members Jaob Hoisington and Mary, his wife, John Strong and wife. Dr. Stephen Powers and wife, Benjamin Emmons, who officiated as deacon, the wife of James Emerson, Joseph Safford and Martha Safford. Rev. J. F. Brodie is the present pastor of the society. The Universalist church. — It is handed down by tradition that John Sanderson and Captain Israel Richardson were the first Universalists in Woodstock. Each, independent of the other, had come to favor the doc- trine of the final happiness of all mankind, and it was only by conversing together that they learned their religious views were the same. At first they kept their thoughts to themselves, partly because their own min'ds were not yet clear on the new faith, and partly because the'y dreaded the hostility of their neighbors. But in August, 1786, it began to be whispered about among the members of the Congregational church that Benjamin Emmons, their deacon and leading man, who had been most active in organizing the chuich and sustaining it thus far, had embraced the doctrine of UniversaUsm. This re- port concerning Dea. Emmons caused great disturbance in the church; meet- ings were called forthwith, at which the delinquent member was arraigned for heresy, and the matter was not settled nor was peace restored to the church of which Emmons was a member till after a lapse of seven years. By this time a Universalist society, and perhaps two of them, had been firmly estabhshed here. The earUest direct notice as yet discovered of the existence of such a society is contained in the following, taken from the records of Pomfret : — "These certify that Lieut. Keith is a professed Universalist, and is a mem- ber of the Universahst society in Woodstock. Moderator, "Woodstock, December 30, 1789." When this society was first organized and on what terms, are particulars unknown at present. But a few years later either another Universalist soci- ety was started in Woodstock or the old one was re-organized under a new name, as can be seen by another certificate taken Hkewise from Pomfret records and running thus: — "This may certify that Timothy Mitchell is a member of the Independent Catholick society in Woodstock. "Israel Richardson, Moderator. "Woodstock, July 19, 1794." The persons named in the above certificates were inhabitants of Pomfret, and the certificates were entered on the records to relieve them from paying the tax for the support of public worship in the town, which all citizens were called on to pay, under certain conditions, by law of the State. The records thus furnish direct evidence that a Universalist society, so-called, existed very early in Woodstock and embraced in its membership persons from the neigh- boring towns. The present North Universalist chapel society, so called, located on Church street, was organized by its first pastor, 'Rev. Russell Streeter, 288" TOWN OF WOODSTOCK. with twenty-three unembers, February 28, 1835. The church building was erected during that year, a wood structure capable of seating 400 persons, and valued, including grounds, at $10,000.00. The society now has sixty-three members, with Rev. L. S. Crosley, pastor. The Christian church, located at Woodstock, was organized by its first pastor. Rev. Elias Cobb, with eight members, in 1806. The church building, a brick structure, was erected in 1826. It will seat 600 persons, and is valued, including grounds, at $15,000.00. The society now has 250 members, with Rev. Moses Kidder, pastor, Mr. Kidder was born at Walpole, N. H., No- vember 14, 1817, and came to Woodstock in 1842, and was ordained as asso- ciate pastor with Elder Joseph Hazen, March 15, 1843. Elder Hazen acted as pastor until December, 1846, when he resigned, after a pastorate of thirty years, and in January, 1847, removed to Albany, N. Y. Since this resigna- tion Mr. Kidder has remained sole pastor of the society. The St. James Protestant Episcopal church of Woodstock was organized in 1825, Rev. Joel Clapp being the first rector. The church building, erected in 1827, will seat 275 persons, andis valued, including grounds, at $10,000.00. The society now has seventy-five members, with Rev. Francis Smith, rector.* * Owing to the inability, or neglect, of those to whom it was intrusted to furnish histori- cal data, sketches of some of the churches of Woodstock are omitted.

The maple tree looks beautiful^ (*Tis useful, all admit,) How sweet the sugar or the sap That people get from it. How much of sap's lost every year, How much of time as well, — By having wretched wooden pails, As all the farmers tell One C. C. Post, of Burlington. (A Science man is he.) Has a Sap Spout you may affix To any maple tree ; It has a Bucket Hanger, loo, — The two combined in one : That every fanner ought to see, And every farmer's son. This Galvanized Metallic friend " Eureka *' has been styled ; '* I've found it ! *' sugar makers shout, And every farmer's child. For when *t is to a tree affixsd With Post's Sap Buckht bright. The maker knows sap will be saved. And all things will work right. The Tin Sap Bucket, conical. Its indented side you'll see — So made that it will fit the shape Of any maple tree. And to its brim with sap "t will fill Fre any sap runs out : It should be sold to sugar makers This Bucket with the Spout. To make the thing the more complete And bring good things about, A Cover he has now affixed To Bucket and the Spout. When to the tree they are applied, All Btonn and dirt without. From sap so very pure you'll see The nicest suear out. I can't describe tliL-in as they arc In any verses here, But much of maple Rap they'll save It) each succeedmg year Go Kcc ihcm, and appreciate, — Their makar decs not boast ; But he'll t oiiviiRi- you very soon That he's a iistlul Post. Oh, Sugar Makcis. save your sip, For maple sugar's high ; Eureka Spout and Hanger have, This Bucket and Cover try.

The towns are alphabetically arranged at the end of the line, under the business classifications. The postoffioe address of each individual or firm follows after the same. Where no postoffioe is given after the name, it signifies that the name of the postoffice and the township is the same. In the villages the name of the street is generally given and precedes that of the postoffioe. The names of farmers are omitted in this list, as they can readily be found in the general list, by noting the figures at the end of the line, which indicate the number of acres owned or leased by each. Boad numbers signify the same as in the general list. Academies and Schools. *STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, Abel E. Leavenworth, A. M., prin- cipal and proprietor, Castleton BLACK RIVER ACADEMY, J.
