Fiske, 630 AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 1 VENTURE the assertion that thus far no antidote has been discovered for the cure of the so-called "genealogical fever." My friends tell me I have it in an aggravated form and it would seem so. Last year I published the Whitney Genealogy, a volume of 700 pages, and now present "The Fiske Family." I have been greatly assisted in my work by Bond's Watertown and the volume compiled by Rev. Albert A. Fiske of Austin, 111., on the Amherst, N. H., Fiskes. The family is noted for its strong religious proclivities inherited from its English ancestors, who on account of their Puritanic belief, were obliged to flee from their native land or be beheaded or burnt at the stake at the pleasure of their fanatical associates. One of the emigrant ancestors — a graduate of Immanuel College and an eminent divine — was secreted in a wood-pile tor nearly a year and finally escaped to America in disguise, here to become one of the ablest preachers; and as Cotton Mather said, "Did he shine in the golden candlestick of Chelmsford, a plain, but an able, powerful and useful preacher of the Gospel." But few of the early New England families can boast of as many descendants who were in the various professions as the Fiske family. Until this publication the many emigrant ancestors of the Fiskes have not been connected in any one publication. The matter has been arranged in the same manner as my previous publications, like the Register issued by the New England Historic- Genealogical Society. It is the simplest, most comprehensive and the best of any plan yet devised. A number of abbreviations will be found in the book of which the following are explanations: ae., aged; abt., about; dau., daughter; dec'd, deceased; res., resides or resided, residence; w., wife; wid., widow and widower; yr., year; n. f. k., nothing further known; s. p., sine prole (without issue). There are a number of other abbreviations of such common use that their meaning will be readily under- stood. A name in parenthesis thus: Anna Fisk, dau. of Robert and Sybil (Gould) Fiske, indicates the maiden name of the mother. An interrogation point implies doubt or want of absolute certainty. Birthplaces of the children are not always given, but can be ascertained by reference to the residence of the parents which is always given. I wish to return thanks to all those who so generously furnished the requested information. If all had responded a number of the lines would be more complete. Thanks are especially due, Mrs. Silas A. Pierce, Grafton, Mass.; Miss Lou M. Pierce, Worcester, Mass.; F. L. Ora of Chicago, 111.: Prof. John Fiske, Cambridge, Mass.; Col. Francis S. Fiske of Boston; Hon. Joseph Fiske of Wellesley Farms, Mass.; Rev. A. A. Fiske and others who rendered valuable aid and assistance. It is the sincere wish of the writer that the descendants of the Fiskes will take as much pleasure in perusing these pages as I did in compiling them. Very truly. Chicago, July 30, 1896. FISKE GENEALOGY. THE FIRST FISK. The family of Fiske flourished for a very long period in England, in the County of Sufifolk. So early as the eighth year of the reign of King John, A. D. 1208, we find the name of Daniel Fisc of Laxfield appended to a document issued by the King, confirming a grant of land in Digneveton Park, made by the Duke of Loraine to the men of Laxfield. The original is in the Public Record office in Lon- don and is dated May i, 1208. The following is a copy: ROTULI CHARTARUM, VOL. I, PART i, PAGE 177. Public Record Office, London. Confirmation by King John, Jlay i, 1208, to the men of Laxfield of land in the Park of Digneveton, granted by the Duke of Loraine. The following are the names of those to whom the grant was made: Robert Garenoise, Eustice Percario, Henry de la Hose, Walter de Holoc, William son of Robert, William Daniel, Jefifrey Daniel and Daniel their brother, Daniel Cuppario, Brithmaro, son of Brithwalden, Stephen Proest, Stephen Archer, Eustace son of Phillip, Melvine wife of Roger Gadermod, Picot son of William, Bernard son of Roger, Edmund son of Robert, Jordan son of Robert, William son of Gilbert, Robert son of Brithmar, Simon son of Edric, William Odonis, Godfrey and Herbert, Robert son of Jeffrey, Osbert a clerk, Ralph a clerk, Hade- brand Haiward, Robert son of William, Simon son of Turstan, Brithmar son of Godwin, Roger Haiward, Richard Haddoc, Reignald son of Godwin, and Robert and Daniel his brothers, John Emelin, Johnson of Roger, William Wudewell, Roger Crespin, Henry son of Ade, Roger Hunne, Matilda wife of Gilbert, Ernest de Radbrooke, and Robert his brother, Gerald son of Adwin and DANIEL FISC. ORIGIN OF THE NAME FISKE. The name Fisk is simply an older formof Fish. In Anglo-Saxon times the termination sh was regularly sounded hard, like' sk. The breakfasting Engliscman of those days ate his fisc from a disc. The name is one of a large class of appella- tives taken from the animal world, such as Herring, Salmon, Pike, Crabb, Tench, Spratt, Peacock, Swan, Drake, Urane, Hawke, Bird, Lyon, Hart, Fox, Bull, Lamb, Kidd, Cheever (goat), Todd (fox), Purcell (piggy), Hare, Colt, Palfrey, etc. The origin of this class of surnames is not perfectly clear. The largest and most familiar groups of surnames are either (i) patronymics, such as Johnson, Jones, Wilson, etc.; or (2) names of villages and estates, such as Washington, Frothingham (a corruption of Fotheringham), Greenough (green field). Holmes (meadow), Stanley (stony pasture), etc.; or (3) names descriptive of occupation or social position, such as Mason, Carpenter, Franklin (country squire). Baker and its feminine Baxter, Thatcher and Thaxter, Weaver and Webster, Draper, Smith, Fletcher (arrow-maker), Chapman (merchant). Cooper, Butler, Cartwright, Sargent, Waterman, Sawyer, Chandler, Bishoo. Abbot, Clark, Constable, Spencer (steward) Grosvenor (chief huntsman). Woodward (forest-keeper), Youmans (yeoman), etc. The earliest use of family names in England was about the beginning of the eleventh century. Long before that time, indeed, clan names were common, and such were always patronymics, e. g., Fotherings, the descendants of Fother; Beor- mings, the descendants of Beorm ; Icklings, the descendants of Ickel. At the time of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Britain (fifth and sixth centuries) it was customary FISKE GENEALOGY. for a clan to settle in a stockaded village by itself, and all English towns whose names end in ham or ton, preceded by ing, were originally the abodes ot single clans; e. g., Birmingham, home of the children of Beorm; Icklington, town ol the children of Ickel. Besides these general clan names no others were in use except individual names, such as Alfred or Edith. . ^11 The use of family names, beginning in the eleventh century, increased slowly. It was not until the fifteenth century that such names became nearly universal, and also stationary. At first they were shifting in usage. Thus, the same man might be called Henry Wilson, because. his father was named William, or Henry Froth- ingham, because he lived at the village of Fotheringham, or Henry Draper, because of his occupation. If the son of this Henry were named Robert, and were any kind of a worker in metals, from an armourer to a blacksmith, he might be known as Robert Harrison or Robert Smith. Surnames had not ceased to fluctuate in this way until the fifteenth century, and it was not until late in the sixteenth that more importance began to be attached to the family surname than to the individual baptismal name. It appears, therefore, that in tracing back the Fiske genealogy into the fourteenth century, we are approaching the time at which difficulty must arise from fluctuations of surname. Thus the paternal grandfather of David Fiske might have been called David Johnson, if John were his father's name, or David Franklin, if he were a country squire. In the thirteenth century we should be quite likely to encounter such confusion and to find the helpfulness of surnames in tracing genealogies vastly diminished. Surnames derived from estates or localities seem to have been the first to become stationary, and next after them the surnames derived from trade or office, since sons have so commonly followed their fathers in business. The class of names to which Fiske belongs is certainly quite different in origin from the three great classes above mentioned. What, then, was its origin? Why should a man be called Wolf, or Heron, or Pike? We are at first struck with the fact that barbarians commonly use such names, both for individuals and for clans. Such individual names as Grey Wolf or Yel- low Raccoon often owe their origin to some personal peculiarity or to some irrecoverable incident. Among American Indians, and in general among bar- barians all over the world, the clans are apt to have such names as Wolf, Eagle, Salmon, Turtle, etc.; the totem, or symbol of the Wolf clan, the idol or image of its tutelar deity, is likely to be a rude image of a wolf or wolf's head; and in many cases the clan is supposed to have had a wolf for its first ancestor. Shall we say, then, that animal surnames in modern English are survivals of ancient heathen clan-names? Are Fiskes descended from a Fish clan among the East Angles? To this view there seems to be a serious objection. The conversion of our English forefathers from heathenism to Christianity was com- pleted in the seventh century, at least four hundred years before the earliest use of surnames in England. The old clan system, moreover, had crumbled to pieces long before the Norman Conquest. It is not likely, therefore, that habits of naming characteristic of the old heathen clans could have persisted long enough to give rise to a whole class of surnames so late as the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Between the ancient systems of totem devices and the heraldry of the Middle Ages there were many analogies and doubtless some points of connection; though, on the whole, the former must be regarded as the predecessor of the latter, not as its ancestor. The mediaeval heraldry was growing up in England during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and it made an extensive use of conven- tionalized heads of familiar animals, not merely lions, wolves, and bulls, but many kinds of bird and fish, as well as such imaginary creatures as dragons, griffins, and cockatrices. For example, Lucy is the heraldic name for pike. and the shield of the De Lucy family bears on a field gules three lucies or. From this emblem the family surname is likely to have arisen, just as Geoffrey Plantagenet was so called from the sprig of broom or genesta plant worn in his helmet. The familiar name of Pike, as well as that of the Puritan magistrate. Sir Thomas Lucy, who arrested Shakespeare for poaching, has probably come from the heraldic use of pikes or lucies. The explanation which serves for one of this class of animal surnames might perhaps serve for all; but there is another point to be considered Heraldic devices were used not only upon banners and coats-of-arms, but also FISKE GENEALOGY. siftrboards, not merely of inns but of other places of business. In days wh' reading and writing were not common accomplishments, such devices we in general use, and they survived down to a recent time. For tavern sig they are not yet extinct. In old times, as often at the present day in Euroj the shop and the homestead were usually contained in the same buildin Thus in the seventeenth century the father of John Milton, who was a solicit( notary public, and law-stationer, had his office and his home in a certain hou known as the Spread Eagle, in Bread Street, Cheapside. Over the front door w the figure of an eagle with outstretched wings. For four or five centuries befo Milton's time, in going through any town, you would have passed by a successii of such signs of hawks, cranes, dolphins, salmon, lambs,, and bulls, thus findii your way to the particular shop and homestead of which you were in que The principle upon which the signs were chosen is not always obvious. Son: times a family name may have suggested the sign, as if a man named Crc were to paint a black crow over his door; but in early times the sign u doubtedly preceded and suggested the name. The family which dwelt at the si| of the crow came to be called Crow, in the same way that a family whi dwelt at a country house called Greenough or Greenhalge (green field) car to be called by the name of the house. There is nothing in the Fiske coat-of-arms, as used in the last three or fo centuries, to suggest fishes or any occupation associated therewith. But if t name goes back into the twelfth century, as quite possibly it may, there is chance that it may have been connected with some heraldic fish emblem sin disused. It is quite as likely to have its origin in a sign. As I said above, is difficult to determine with confidence the precise origin of names of this cla The reader may be interested in the coincidence that Laxfield, the name the parish where our Fiske forefathers dwelt for at least three centuries, mea "salmon field." I think the name has been applied to the place for ma than a thousand years, but I have no theory as to its origin. The name Sta haugh (sometimes incorrectly written Stradhaugh) is compounded of stead and haug The former means station or home, so that the word "homestead" is a ca of tautology. A haugh was a cleared field in the days when much of Englai was covered with virgin forest. Stadhaugh is thus equivalent to "home in cleared field." What Prof. Rasmus B. Anderson says: Prof. Rasmus B. Anderson of Madison, Wis., ex-minister to Denmark, writing sends the following: Madison, Sept. 19, 1896. Col. Fred Pierce, Chicago, 111. My Dear Sir: — I have your favor of the 13th inst., in regard to the name "Fisk." Fisk means in Norwegian "fish" and of course the name may be Scandinavian origin. I am pretty familiar with Scandinavian nomenclature, bul cannot recall any Dane, Swede or Norwegian by that name." Dr. Henry Mortimer Fiske, a native of Sturbridge, residing in San Francisi writing in September, 1895, says: "The name for long centuries back was Fisl It is a Scandinavian name and is as common in Denmark and Sweden as Smith here. The meaning of the name is 'fish' and all Scandinavians call a fish, fiske. T Danes have in Greenland a harbor called Fiskenares, and also one in the island St. Thomas, one of the West Indies, of the same name Fiskenares, meaning English fish harbor. I have also an old book published in London in 1760, call the young man's book of knowledge, which is dedicated to the Rev. James Fisl a rector of the church of England. In an old book, a history of one of the count of England, speaking of one of the civil wars there the name of lord or viscoi Fiske is there mentioned as one of the civil magistrates. The book is one of 1 first printed and is nearly 300 years old. In both Sweden and Denmark the nai is always spelt Fiske. I have satisfied myself the name was introduced ir England at the time of the Danish invasion. I am further satisfied that the 'e' v left off in England more for the convenience of spelling on the part of our fo: FISKE GENEALOGY. fathers than any other cause, as those old fellows, even the most learned, had a habit of phonetic spelling in many instances a desire to cut things short." The late Miss Fidelia Fisk of Ooroomeyah, Persia, a veteran missionary, in- formed the writer of this sketch that "there seemed to be some connection between the name and the word 'fiscal.' Somewhere she had been told that, before the appearance of the family name, 'the fisk' was one of the appointed public officers. Much of the revenue of those days was collected in dried fish, and Fisk, or Fiske, is the plural of fish in the Danish language. Quintals of fish were at that time used as currency even. "A ministerial crank, whom I came upon once in traveling, claimed that 'there were few of the family names in N. E. that could not be traced back to the Greek! ' Whereupon I replied, 'Let me hear you take my name over that course.' Without hesitation he replied, 'Your name came by way of Denmark, did it not? It is probably all one with Fish. Now, in the Greek, fish is ichtheus. Prefix the digamma and you have Fichtheus. Drop the termination, and you have Fich, or Fisch, or Fische, which would very soon be worn down to Fish, or Fiske-Fisk.' " In reading a valuable article from Rev. Wm. H. Griffis, on the "Influence of the Netherlands upon the N. E. Emigrants," I found a statement to the eflfect that "many of the emigrants from Suffolk County, England, to Holland, in returning to England, or coming over to America, were found to have shortened their names to a monosyllable. Fisher thus became Fish." This led to a brief correspondence, in the beginning of which that stalwart defender of the rights and honors of the Dutch expressed his confidence, that "the name of Fiske-Fisk was among those mentioned in the early literature of the Netherlands." Search, however, only discovered a "Fisker" in Holland, who came from and returned to England, but neither in England nor America was the name of Fisker found thereafter, but the name of Fiske-Fisk is there among the emi- grants before 1640. It only adds to the plausibility of this theory to remember that almost every- one of the emigrant Fiske-Fisk name had a trade which must have been originally learned in Holland — weaver, tanner, spinner, dyer, etc. Webster's Dictionary has this to say of the name: Fisk (fisk) verb irrelevant (ch. Swedish fjeska, to bustle about), to run about; to frisk; to whisk. "He fisks abroad and stirreth up erroneous opinions." — Latimer. Fisk, fisc, fiskin, fysk (Swedish fjeska).

Symond Fiske, Lord of the Manor of Stadhaugh, held lands in Laxfield Parish, and was probably grandson * of Daniel Fisc, before mentioned. He bore for his arms, chequey, argent and gules, upon a pale, sable, three mullets pierced, or. These arms, with a crest added, were confined to Prof. Nicholas Fiske, professor in Physic, of Stadhaugh, in Laxfield. In 1633 a charter of confirmation was issued from Herald's College. It acknowledges the use of the arms by an ancestor to all the emigrants. To all and singular persons to whom these presents shall come, Wm. Segar, Knight, Garter Principall, King of Arms of Englishmen, sendeth his due com- mendations and greeting in our Lord God everlasting. Know yea that anciently ■ According to Herald's Visitations.

In the 640th and 641st lines of this book you will find: "Atque his victorem affatur lulum: Macte nova virtute, puer: sic itur ad astra." Another authority describes the arms as follows: Fisk Armes: Checkie, Ar- gent and Gules, on pale sable 1.88 by .43 inches, check J4 inch Gules right hand upper corner alternate Argent, Form, Top & side S checks right lined and right angled; bottom, spade shaped, three Mullets, or, pierced.

The said arms and crest are registered in the Heraldry book of Middlesex, made by Sir Henry, signed George Knight Richmond. Hen: Lily, Rouge, Rose. Heraldry, a relic of the feudal ages, took its rise in the crusades, and was em- ployed to denote the manly virtues. Since then armorial bearings have served very much the same purpose of the modern diploma, and have been cherished because deemed the patent or respectability. Esteemed at first by the landed FISKE GENEALOGY. gentry at pleasure, they afterwards came under the regulation of law. The Herald s College was established, and a general registration took place in the sixteenth century, when pedigrees were accepted and registered, the disorder or irregularity or fraudulent bought rectified.

H., now a resident of Boston, Mass., and United States Commissioner, employed the well known American genealogist and antiquarian, Horatio G. Somerby, then residing in Camden Square, London, to thoroughly inspect and copy from the records in the various parishes in Suffolk County, England. He found a mass of very valuable data relating to the English ancestors of the American Fiskes from 1462 to 1635. Mr. Somerby first visited the several Suffolk parishes where he knew the Fiskes had resided and made extracts from the parish registers which were of sufficient antiquity to suit his purpose. The registers of South Elmham and Weybread, however, in one of which he expected to find the baptism of one of the American emigrants, did not date back far enough to give it. He next consulted some of the wills of the early Fiskes and found sufficient to justify him in the belief that Nathan Fiske, of Watertown, Massachusetts Colony, was the eighth in descent from the first Simon of Laxfield, through Robert, of St. James, South Elmham, who was his great-grandfather. Simon was Lord of the Manor of Stadhaugh, in Laxfield, Suffolk County, England, in the time of Henry the Sixth. Between the years 1462 and 1635 he found some fifty wills of Fiskes proved in Suffolk County, all of the same family, abstracts of which were furnished and are inserted in their proper places, others of this family are as follows: WILLIAM FISKE, OF RENDHAM.

RECOLLECTIONS OF A VISIT TO LAXFIELD. (By Isabella H. Fiske, of Wellesley Farms, Mass.) To the member of the family who is interested in its early history, and is taking a trip in England there will be hardly anything more fruitful of enjoyment than turning aside a little from the beaten track and visiting his ancestral home of Laxfield, in Sufifolk, from which the American branch of the Fiskes emigrated. The town and its vicinity make an interesting study. The nearest railroad town, and one with which the Fiskes themselves were early identified, is Framling- ham, some eight miles distant, and with twenty-five hundred inhabitants. The town itself claims through tradition to date from the time of Redwald, king of the East Angles. It is certainly as early as the Norman period, as the structure of its castle shows. This is a fine old ruin, one of the largest in England, covering over an acre of ground, with its thick walls, arched gateway, and rising towers. It has a most interesting history, having been held since the earliest records till through the thirteenth century by the baronial family of the Bigods, these being bestowed by Edward I. upon his son Thomas, of Brotherton, and still later coming into the hands of the Mowbrays and Howards; families later represented by the earls and FISKE GENEALOGY. dukes of Norfolk. It was at one time surrendered into the hands of John, and again, much later, was seized by the crown and became the residence of Queen Mary of England, being afterwards restored to the Howards by James I. Coming, in the seventeenth century, through purchase, into the hands of Sir Robert Hitcham, it was considerably dismantled, and was finally, on the hard terms of its ■entire demolishment given over by his will into the possession of Pembroke Col- lege, Cambridge. There is also in Framlingham, the fine old church of St. Michael's, dating in part from the thirteenth century, and harboring as its chief treasure the altar tombs of the Howards; the most noted among whom are the two earls of Surrey, one victor of Flodden field, the other, the gifted poet of the Tudor era, and a victim of Henry VII. Modern Framlingham is quiet enough, boasting as its chief interest, the Albert Memorial College, a large school for boys. It still keeps its antiquarian interest as central, however. The name of Fiske is by no means an unknown one here. It may be found upon the stones in St. Michael's churchyard, which is comparatively recent, occur- ring about half a dozen times. It is to be seen in the town records also, and over shop doors and the like, occasionally. In one instance, however, the proprietor — whose name was Fisk — of one of the stores there, on being interviewed in regard to his family was unfortunately unable to trace back his lineage even so far as his own grandfather. But we may feel ourselves quite justified in identifying the early history of the family with that of the town in all the stirring scenes that were witnessed there. In Framlingham we have a strong recollection of the past. In Laxfield we have the past itself, as something still present, not yet outgrown. It is all de- lightfully typical of England. In the first place, we have the real English coun- try. We have behind us all thought of time and press of circumstances, and stroll leisurely along the winding lanes, shut in by green hedgerows from the sloping hillsides where the sheep and cattle graze peacefully. We have the coun- try life of centuries ago, too. It is all just as it was when, as an old play tells us: "Prince Charlie came riding down to hunt the deer at Laxfield with his men," oi when Cromwell and his men came riding along that way on their destructive mission. Come they did, most probably along this route, for the little church at Laxfield bears traces of vandal hands, which marked the overzeal of the Roundheads. As we enter the little town, of about five hundred inhabitants, the whole atmosphere is delightful, this stepping out of the whirl of traffic, the rush of modern life, and breathing this quieter air, with its suggestions of lavender and musk, its folds and creases of the past still lingering. The great charm is the quaint unconscious- ness of it all. The centuries have slipped by unnoted, and the old church still waits for the awakening touch that seems as far away as ever. The handful of houses grouped around it are true English country homes. The rectory one would wish particularly to visit; a charming little place, which, with its bower of green and rosevines and suggestions of perpetual summer, has all the romance and quaint- ness of the setting of the "Vicar of Wakefield." The rector seems the Vicar himself, gray and gentle as he is; a most hospitable man, who keeps up from his little retreat with the movement of the world's forces, yet with a contemplative, rather than an active interest. We have a strong sense of ownership in this ancestral home of ours as we linger along its shaded street, on our way to the churchyard. This grows upon us as we find upon the mossgrown stones half obliterated epitaphs, containing the familiar family name. It is something set off from the thoroughfare of the' cease- less throng of tourists; a little by-way in which we can take an especial pride, and something as deserving of study as many a better known object of attention. As we enter the exquisite little church, we note the rich, time-darkened carv- ing, the finely executed stone-work of the fourteenth century, and the later Jacobin influence in the work. It is all genuine from the quaint baptismal font within, to the square tower without, rising amid the trees. In the parish register, which is hardly ever opened, the records begin with the sixteenth century and the name of an Elizabeth Fisk is found to be one of the •first entries, in 1519. Thus the old register bears witness that the Fiskes were 10 FISKE GENEALOGY. identified with the town at the earliest account, and suggests a far-stretching past as a fertile field for the imagination. The feeling of ownership culminates, of course, in visiting the old homestead, Stadhaugh perhaps a mile distant. It is a fine old estate, with its hundreds of acres still kept up and well stocked with sheep and cattle, and its traces of manor- house dignity. Its quaintly arranged chambers, its rambling roominess, and low- reaching rafters make an effective background for the bright laughter and merry sport of the rosy cheeked English children in the family now occupying it. We may look back here in imagination upon the environments of the Stadhaugh Fiskes in the old days of Henry IV. and Henry VI., when they were persecuted for their loyalty, and picture the lives of our own ancstors there to whose deeds of highmindedness Cotton Mather has made stirring allusion, naming this very estate of Stadhaugh as the scene of the events he has narrated to us. Surely the old homestead, arousing as it does our pride and patriotism, is a fitting link in the past and present of the family history. Typical as Laxfield and its environs are, it is hard to describe even in detail without seeming to generalize. The associations are of course of more immediate interest than the objects themselves. Yet one gets a great deal of satisfaction, in this particular instance at least, by going back to the haunts of his family's childhood. If you can not do this in person, take down your Oliver Gold- smith and read over again some of the descriptions of Wakefield and its vicar You will hardly be far from the truth. If you can go, do. You will see no reason, if you are a lover of freshness in quaintness, of the historic past, and of rural Eng- land of today to regret having visited your family's early home, Laxfield. THE MANOR OF STADHAUGH. (Rev. Franklin Woodbury Fisk.) Extracts from my notebook of travel, describing a visit made in July, 1872, to the Manor of Stadhaugh, town of Laxfield, county of Suffolk, England, for several generations in the possession of the Fisk family: July 23, 1872, Laxfield, at "The Royal Oak" hotel. — Leaving Cambridge at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, I came by rail to Framlingham, the nearest station to Laxfield, six miles distant. Calling on two brothers, Henry and George Fisk, the first a glazier, and the other a shop-keeper, to see if I could learn anything respecting their ancestry. I found that I could learn absolutely nothing except that their father, many years before, came from the neighborhood of Laxfield. I ordered dinner at "The Crown" hotel, at 5 o'clock, and meanwhile visited the old_ castle, now in ruins, to which Queen Mary fled when Lady Jane Grey was placed upon the throne. It must have been a very strong castle in its day. I also visited the ancient church in which is the tomb of the celebrated poet, Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, beheaded by Henry VIII. After dinner I started off at 6 o'clock to walk to Laxfield. It was a sweltering day, and I had a hard walk, though in many respects a pleasant one, reaching Laxfield about 8 o'clock. I called at once on the rector of the church, Rev. John Dallas, a gentleman of some 60 years of age, who has been pastor of the church here twenty years. He received me very courteously, and kindly offered to go with me in the morning to the old church and inspect the records of the baptisms, marriages and deaths of persons who had lived in the parish since the time of Queen Elizabeth, as the records did not extend back of that date. After engaging lodgings at "The Royal Oak," I called, at the suggestion of the rector, on an aged gentleman (Mr. Brightly), who for many years has been an officer in the church, and has known the inhalDitantS of the town for sixty years. He kindly gave me all the information about the Fisk family he possessed, and said that there had been no one of that name living in the town for the last twenty years. FISKE GENEALOGY. 11 Woodbridge, July 24.— After breakfast yesterday morning, I accompanied Rev. Mr. Dallas and his accomplished daughter to the venerable church edifice, with Its ancient Norman tower. We opened the rusty iron chest, took from it the old records, and pored over them for hours, till 12 o'clock, trying to decipher the almost hieroglyphic characters of the writing. We turned first to the records of baptisms, which we found did not extend back of 1579, and these records, as nearly as we could make them out, were as follows. (There is copied into my notebook a list of twenty-seven baptisms extending from the year 1579 to the year 1651, which was as far as I copied.) The name Fisk stands the second one of the names on these records, and is almost uniformly spelled for some years, "Ffyske," but when a new minister or clerk came to enter the name, he spelled it differently, and often without the final "e." Indeed, in one or two instances the name seemed to have been spelled differently in the same entry of a baptism, thus: "Mary Ffyske, daughter of Nicholas Ffysk, was baptized the 8th day of Nov., 1581." After the entry in the year 1514, the "y" in the name becomes changed into "i," thus: Ffiske or Ffisk. I noticed this record of a marriage: "Married, Henry Ffiske and Margarette Smith, the 20th day of Sept., 1590." I find that the "Studhaw" estate (or as it is indifferently spelled, "Studhaw," "Sudhaw," "Stadhaugh"), was in the possession of a Mr. John Smith, and I sus- pect that he came into its possession through the marriage connection of the Fisks and Smiths referred to above. This Mr. Smith appears to have been a man of intelligent and benevolent views, as he willed the whole estate, consisting of about 112 acres of excellent land, with good buildings, to the town of Laxfield intrust, the income of which should be forever appropriated to the support of a school for the training in the common branches of an English education, of forty poor orphan boys of the town of Laxfield, or if necessary, of the county of Suffolk, after which these boys were to be taught some useful trade. The be- quest was made, I think, in 1718, and ever since the school has been doing this noble work. It is under the care of seven trustees, of whom the Rev. John Dallas is chairman. I visited the school and was jnuch pleased with it. I walked out with Mr. Dallas to the estate, lying about half a mile from the village, and was politely received and hospitably entertained by the tenants, Mr. Thomas Reed and wife, who showed me through the house, which must have been quite a grand one in its day, though changed from age to age, not always, as I think, for the better. In the garret of the house I saw fine old oak wainscoting that generations ago adorned the lower rooms of the manor house. The building is of stone, of very ample dimensions on the ground, and has a very large kitchen, and butter and cheese rooms, and has commodious outbuildings. The rent of the estate is £170 a year. Mr. Reed's father and grandfather lived as tenants on the estate, in all for ninety years. After spending a very pleasant hour at this de- lightful house of my ancestors for several generations, I returned to the quaint little village of Laxfield, and bidding "good-bye" to my kind friend, Mr. Dallas, walked back to Framlingham, and taking a railway train to this place (Wood- bridge), stopped here over night to call on Mr. Samuel Fisk and his two sons, whom I found to be prosperous business men. The father had left Laxfield forty years ago, and had established himself in Woodbridge, in the cabinet-making busi- ness, in which he had been very successful. VISIT TO FRAMLINGHAM, DENNINGTON AND LAXFIELD. (By Prof. John Fiske, of Cambridge.) With regard to an article on the English Fiskes, I hardly think I know any- thing which you do not know already, but with regard to the Manor House, I can tell you briefly of a visit which I made there in June, 1880. I had been giving some lectures in London, and was going thence to Edinburgh to give a course of lectures there. I stopped at Ipswich and passed a night at the Great White Horse Inn, immortalized in "Pickwick Papers." Took the train next morning for the quaint old market town of Framlingham. The English, by the way, do not pro- nounce that "1", and I suppose that our Framingham was named after it. At 12 FISKE GENEALOGY. Fraralingham, my wife and I toOK a dog cart and drove through Dennington, where Nicholas Fiske hved in the days of "Bloody Mary," to Laxfield, which is nine miles from Framlingham, and almost within the salt smell of the German Ocean. I felt very doubtful whether there would be anything to see at Laxfield more than a meadow or potato patch, but it would be something to see even the site which one's forefathers left when they came to New England. I inquired of a man working on the road, and learned that the Manor House of Stadhaugh was still standing, and that information on local history might be obtained from Mr. Aldrich, the parish clerk. After a pleasant call at the house of this gentle- man, I continued on m}' way until at the end of a very long hedgerow I saw the quaint farmhouse known as Stadhaugh Manor. The present occupant, Mr. Thomas Read, was standing at the gate. On my mentioning my name, he invited us into the dining-room, a long, low-studded room with large fire-place, tall clock well stocked bookshelves, plants in the window, and all the appearance of com- fort. I learned from Mr. Read that the house was built in the time of Henry VIIL, apparently at a season when window taxes were high. Fiskes had lived on the spot since the time of Richard H., and how much earlier I do not know. They came to America in such numbers that the name became nearly extinct in Suffolk. The last Fiske of Stadhaugh died about 1675. The estate then passed into the hands of John Smith, Esq., who died in 1715, leaving the Manor House and farm of about three hundred acres to the Parish of Laxfield with a provision that the income should be devoted to preparing poor boys for the University at Cam- bridge. The place was leased by the parish to a family named Read on a ninety- nine year lease, and at the expiration of that period, the lease was renewed for another century. My entertainer belonged to the sixth generation of Reads who had lived in that house. He was a fine, tall, stately man, quick in mind and well informed, very like the best type of New England deacon. He seemed interested in seeing a descendant of the ancient Fiskes, and said that it was not often that he had such visitors. We called upon the vicar. Rev. William Mothersole, who said that we would find on the floor of the parish church the names of some Fiske ancestors buried beneath. The little parish church was built about the time of King Alfred, 1,000 years ago. The floor was covered with strips of a kind of hemp carpet, and on raising them, there was a good deal of dust to be cleared away, and as my time was limited, I gave up the search for Fiske graves. I, however, saw that of "John Smith, Armiger." The vicar's son, a bright boy of twelve, who was much interested in the proceedings, took me to the village green where the one martyr of Laxfield was burned in the evil days of Mary Tudor. This victim was the Rev. John Noyes, and Fox, in his "Book of Martyrs," tells how his brother-in-law, Nicholas Fiske, of Dennington, visited him the evening before his execution. I believe there is nothing more of interest to be said about my visit. The country at Laxfield and all about it has that finished, pastoral beauty so character- istic of the English landscape. ANCESTRAL AND HISTORICAL (By Rev. Albert A. Fiske.) The Fiskes in America are descended from an ancient family of that name, which for centuries and until a recent period, had its seat and manorial lands in Laxfield, in the county of Suffolk, England. As early as 1422, one Symond Fiske resided there as Lord of the Manor of Stadhaugh, and entitled by grant to coat armour. Several of his descendants appear to have justly gained repute for piety and education, both among churchmen and non-conformists, and numbers of them during the protracted struggle of the Reformation, and especially in the days of Queen Mary, endured severe persecutions on account of their staunch adherence to Evangelical principles. Robert Fiske, of Laxfield, son of Simon, and fourth in descent from Symond Fiske, of the same, married Sibyl Gold, and had sons, William, Jeflfrey, Thomas FISKE GENEALOGY. 13 and Eliezer. These parents were the progenitors of all the Fiskes that settled in New England, so far as known, before 1640. In considering their posterity here, we must trace them as descended from two distinct groups, coming over about the same time (1637), one group settling in Wenham, and the other in Watertown, Mass. William Fiske, eldest son of Robert, married Ann Anstye, and had children, John, Nathaniel (who died young), Eunice and Hannah, the last of whom mar- ried William Candler, and was the mother of Rev. Matthias Candler, whose manu- scripts, now on file in the British Museum, furnish the records from which the early history of the Fiskes in England have been compiled. John Fiske, the eldest son of William, above, and grandson of Robert and Sibyl Fiske, married Ann, a daughter of Robert Lantersee, and had children, John, William, Anne and Martha, all of whom, with their mother, embarked for America in 1637. Their father had died previously (in 1633), and during the passage the mother died also. The two brothers, having married in England, settled with their families in Wenham, then a village of Salem, Mass., about 1640. John, who had been already ordained in the English Church, became a noted and influential minister in the colony, and was settled as the first minister of the church in Wenham. Cotton Mather, in that quaint volume entitled "Magnalia," makes honorable allusion to him, both as scholar and preacher, and said that "like the beloved Luke, his praise was in all the churches." His brother, William, became also a man of mark, filled various public offices, was representative to the general court of Massachusetts, but died in the prime of his powers and usefulness, under 40 years of age. Both were able and useful men, were zealous Puritans in religion, and left descendants who per- petuated their good name for several generations. About the same time that Rev. John and his brother established themselves in Wenham, several of their relations became also emigrants to the colony, David Fiske, of Watertown, who settled there with his son, David, and nephews, John and Nathan; and Phinehas Fiske, of Wenham, who brought with him sons, James (afterwards of Haverhill), John and Thomas — these two separate groups of families were respectively descended from Jefifrey Fiske and Thomas Fiske, the third sons of Robert and Sibyl, previously mentioned; their cousins, Rev. John and William, being descended, as we have already shown, from William Fiske, the first son of the same. From these brothers and cousins, eight in all, who were thus early colonized in the commonwealth, have sprung a numerous, widely scattered, and very respectable posterity. Over one hundred and sixty of their number, bearing- the family name, are on the roll of college graduates, while very many of them have variously attained distinction as divines, authors, scholars, and public men, two having been prominent candidates for the Presidency of the United States. There is not a university or collegiate institution in this land, which has not had at some period a Fiske filling a prominent chair on its board of faculty, while four of them have been elected to the presidency of such corporations. And as to ininisiers and deacons of churches, their number is almost beyond enumeration. We will now consider more particularly the Wenham group of Fiskes. Rev. John Fiske and family arrived in Cambridge, Mass., in 1637. There he engaged for awhile in teaching school, and afterwards in Salem, where he conducted the first grammar school with remarkable success, his pupils being able, it is said, to compose readily in Latin, verse or prose. Li 1643 he removed to Wenham (adjoining Salem), gathered a church, and became its first pastor, in 1644, and continued such for more than twelve years. In 1655 he removed to the pastorate of the church in Chelmsford, in which he continued till 1677, when he died at the age of ji:, leaving a family. Rev. John Fiske was twice married. His first wife, after living with him about thirty-seven years, died in 1771. Such was- her remarkable knowledge of Scripture that she was called her husband's concordance. She was the mother of his children. Moses, only son of Rev. John Fiske that arrived to maturity, graduated at Harvard College in 1662 — the first of the Fiske alumni in this country; was licensed to preach in 1671, and ordained and settled over the church in Braintree (now Quincy), Mass., the following year. He was a preacher of considerable power and animation. Several of his sermons were published, and may be found in the archives of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Rev. Mo:es Fiske was twice married. His first wife was Sarah, a daughter of William Symmes, of Charleston, whom he married in 1671. Of his fourteen children those that 14 FISKE GENEALOGY. lived were named as follows: Mary, Sarah, Ann, Elizabeth, Moses, John, William, Samuel. Mrs. Sarah, wife of Rev. Moses Fiske, died in 1692. In I700, Jan. 7, he married Mrs. Quincey, a daughter of the distinguished Rev. Thomas Shepard. By her he had, Shepard Fiske, born April 19, 1703; Margaret Fiske, born Dec. 15, 1705. Shepard Fiske, youngest son of Rev. Moses Fiske, graduated at Harvard College in 1721, and died a physician at Bridgewater, Mass., in 1779- ^^- Fiske s daughters, except the last, all married clergymen. Two of his sons also, John and William, were clergymen. But the subsequent history of their brothers, Moses and William, is not definitely known. John Fiske, second son of Rev. Moses Fiske, of Braintree (Quincy), graduated at Harvard College in 1702, preached awhile in Braintree Church, and was or- dained pastor of a church in Killingly, Conn., October 19,1715; his brother-in-law, Rev. Joseph Baxter, of Medfield, preaching the sermon. Here he remained until 1741, when disaffection arising in the church, he was dismissed and retired upon his large landed estate in Killingly, where he died in 1773, in the 89th year of his age. He is reported to have been a good scholar, an able preacher, and wise counselor. His wife was Abigail, a daughter of Rev. Nehemiah Hobart, of Newton, Mass. Of his five children only one was a son, and he died in infancy. Samuel Fiske, youngest son of Rev. Moses Fiske, of Braintree, graduated at Harvard College in 1708 — where his name appears on the roll without the Vowel termination — and was ordained minister of the First Church, in Salem, Mass., in October, 1708. Says Bentley, in his memorial sermon: "Rev. Samuel Fiske was a man of eminent talents in the pulpit, of firm and persevering mind, and held in high esteem until disaffection sprang up in his church from the ill-defined discipline then existing in our churches. He was a preacher of real abilities, but his high notions of church authority were repugnant to many persons, and interfered with his usefulness. He was dismissed from the First Church, in 1735, and accepted the charge of a new society established by his friends. He preached the first centenary lecture of the First Church, August 6, 1729. The election sermon delivered by him before the Governor and Legislature, in 1731, may be reckoned as among the best. It was published and a copy is preserved among the state archives. He was dismissed from the Third Church in 1745, when he retired from the ministry. By wife, Anna Gerrish, he had five children, but only one of his sons reached maturity, John, born May 6, 1744. Rev. Samuel Fiske died in Salem, in 1770, at quite an advanced age. John Fiske, only surviving son of Rev. Samuel Fiske, of Salem, engaged in commercial pursuits and acquired property. At the time of the Revolution he commanded the first vessel of war commissioned in the service. At the close of the war, he was commissioned a Colonel, then a Brigadier, and finally a Major General in the State Militia, which position he held until his death, in 1797. He was a man of princely hospitality, of enterprising spirit, and of benevolent im- pulses. He took great interest in the various religious and charitable movements of the day, and contributed freely to their support. He was thrice married, but left no male issue. Peter Fiske, a grandson of Rev. Moses, of Quincy, married Sarah Perry, of Grafton, Mass., November 15, 1758. Four of their children were there born, Moses, Nathaniel, Peter, Sarah, John. Of these the eldest, Moses, graduated at Dart- mouth College, in 1786; was licensed and preached awhile, but never ordained to the pastorate. He was a tutor in Dartmouth College from 1788 to 1795, when he removed to Helham, Tenn., and died there about 1842. He remained single until 50 years of age, and then reared a family of nine children. He ever manifested a strong disapprobation of negro slavery, although living in the midst of slavery all his days in the south. He was the author of several published works on slavery. John Fiske, brother of above, graduated at Dartmouth College, in 1791, studied theology with Rev. Dr. Lyman, of Hatfield, and was ordained to the 'ministry at Hadley, Mass., m May, 1794. Preaching for awhile as an evangelist, he ac- cepted a call to the church in New Braintree, and was installed pastor in August, 1796. In 1809 he enjoyed with his church a remarkable revival, which was re- peated m 1818, 1819, 1826, 1831 and 1842. The fruits of these awakenings were numerous additions to the church He preached his half century discourse October 26, 1846, which was published. He took a deep interest in the cause of education; was one of the efficient helpers in the building up of Amherst CoUeee and received the degree of D. D. from that institution in 1844. He continued FISKE GENEALOGY. 15 to preach with the assistance of a colleague, until October, 1854. In March follow- ing, he died in great peace, after a ministry of sixty-one years with the same people. He made a fine figure in the pulpit, being tall, dignified, of serene and intelligent countenance. He possessed a clear and well balanced mind, and a general completeness of character seldom found. His pulpit efforts were marked by eminent good sense and great appropriateness, especially in prayer. Sev- eral of his discourses were published. Mr. Fiske married, in 1796, Elizabeth Mellen, of Milford. They had children: John M., Mary W., William, Sarah, Abby and James. The youngest daughter married George Merriam, one of the pub- lishers of Webster's Dictionary. William Fiske, son of Rev. Dr. John, was or- dained to the ministry in 1865, and for years did good and efficient service among the Freedmen. Wilham Fiske, Esq., who emigrated to America in 1637, in company with his brother. Rev. John Fiske, was born in England, about 1614, and was there married to Bridget Musket, by whom he had several children. He was admitted Freeman (at Wenham), in 1643, and chosen town clerk of the same during the following year. He was elected Representative to the General Court of the Com- monwealth in 1647, and continued in that office by annual election until 1652, He appears to have enjoyed to a large extent the confidence and respect of his townsmen, but was cut short in his career by death, in 1654, in the prime of his life, under 40 years of age; having during the eleven years of his residence in Wenham, repeatedly served in all the positions of trust within the gift of the peo- ple. He died intestate, and therefore most probably of some sudden and acute disease. Letters of administration were granted to his widow, in July, 1654, by which provision was made for the following children, therein named: William, Samuel, Joseph, Benjamin, and Martha. William, the eldest, was born 1642. Other children may have been born previously, but must have died young. The above named were evidently the only living heirs at the time of their father's decease. No records of births, marriages or deaths were kept on the town books of Wen- ham before 1686, when Capt. Thomas Fiske was instructed to commence their registration . Consequently the facts respecting the early generations are derivable only where private sources are wanting, from the public records of the land and probate offices. These records, for the entire counties of Essex and Middle- sex, and covering a period of over two hundred years, in connection with various town records, have been carefully examined, and the results of the investigation, after much study, have been compiled in the following pages. William Fiske, Jr., the eldest son of William Fiske, the emigrant, born in 1642, was married to Sarah Kilham, of Wenham, Jan. 15, 1662, and by her had several children, the record of whose names and births was found among the private papers of his grandson, William Fiske, Sr., of Amherst, N. H. Mr. Fiske, by occupation a weaver, was admitted a Freeman in 1670; was chosen deacon of the Congregational Church, of which his uncle, Rev. John Fiske, was first pastor, in 1679. He also held various public offices, such as clerk, moderator of the town for many years. He also represented the town of Wenham for eleven different sessions in the General Court of Massachusetts. Indeed, he and others of the family, for fifty years consecutively, were the sole representatives of the town in that body, and until 1720. He inherited to a large extent his father's ability and worthy character, being deacon of Wenham Church for above forty years, and died at a good old age, in his 86th year. In his will, dated 1725, and proved 1728, all of his children are mentioned as legatees, except those who had died previously. But to his sixth son, Ebenezer, who was principal hetr and legatee, and also his immediate successor in the deacon's office, was bequeathed "the original homestead," which property became by inheritance the residence also of his grandson, William Fiske, fourth son of Dea. Ebenezer, and remained in the family until March, 1773, when, upon the removal of said William Fiske to Amherst, N. H., it was sold to one Wm. Webber. Nothing now remains to mark the spot but a heap of stones, and the family name becoming extinct in Wenham, only the venerable slabs in the cemetery are left to bear witness to the fact that here was the ancestral seat of an ancient and honorable family, whose de- scendants, widely scattered but still maintaining the high character of their lineage, constitute today the main body of the Fiskes in America. To this source may be traced five distinct branches, which in this work are classified as the Amherst, Upton, Shelburne, Rhode Island and Connecticut lines. 16 FISKE GENEALOGY, William Fiske, fourth son of Dea. Ebenezer, of Wenham, principal heir of his- estate and sole executor of his will, resided at the ancient homestead in Wenham, where probably his father, himself and his own children were all born, until the decease or removal of his own immediate relatives. Of himself personally little is known, except that in his character and principles he was a staunch Puritan. And considering that the characteristics of race and parentage stamp the in- dividual, it would be strange were the case otherwise. His ancestors from a re- mote period were Puritans or Reformers, a lineage illustrious for their piety and inflexible virtues. His father and grandfather were successively deacons in the original Wenham church, for upwards of seventy years; the same ancient church of which the Rev. John Fiske himself, was the original pastor. More remotely still the family had been identified with that great reformatory struggle in England, from which were gathered the rich fruits of a purer faith and constitutional liberty. Such were the forefathers of William Fiske, and such the ancestral vir- tues, a goodly measure of which he inherited with his patrimony. That he was- a man of strong religious convictions and most exemplary life is manifest from the admirable parental discipline by which his children were trained to become excellent citizens, godly men and women, and enabled to exert a wide and benefi- cent influence in their day and generation. And in this respect they but bear em- phatic testimony, alike with other collateral branches, to the strength of that moral principle which, taking root with the parental stock in Wenham, over two centuries ago, has marvelously spread and diffused itself, like a spiritual leaven, through the various descendant and divergent lines, to this day. Mr. Fiske — to- resume the thread of family history — having been appointed sole executor of Dea. Ebenezer's will, remained in Wenham long enough to settle the estate and dispose of the homestead, and various tracts of land, when (in 1773) he removed to Am- herst, N. H., with his wife Susanna, and nine children, and two daughters-in-law, Mary Bragg, the wife of their son, Jonathan, and Eunice Nourse, wife of their son, William. The father, William, Sr., purchased a tract of land on the south side of Walnut Hill, and there the original homestead of the Amherst Fiskes was established. Having lived to see his country proclaimed free and independent, and his family settled in comparative comfort, he died in 1777, in the 52d year of his age. Of their sons and daughters, all, except Anna, married, and she and two others excepted, William and David, remained in Amherst; all eventually removea ■ and settled elsewhere. Some of them raised large families, and all more or less prospered in circumstances, and the good esteem of their fellow citizens. Of them all, it is believed, it may be truly said that their lives were blameless before God, and their end calm and full of peace. Among the descendants of William Fiske, Sr., of Amherst, may be mentioned Judge Jonathan Fiske, his son, Hon. Jonathan Fiske, Hon. William Fiske, Hon. Francis N. Fiske, Rev. Dr. Franklin W. Fiske, Rev. Dr. L. R. Fiske, Rev. Dr. William Allen Fiske, Rev. A. A. Fiske, and a long roll of deacons and other church officers. -^^^r:^^ COLLEGE GRADUATES BY NAME OF FISKE.

Among them I found an indenture of the register for the year 1565 containing among entries of the Plimpton, Mills, Baker, Grirasby-Newson, Gilberde, Brokbanke, Saunders, Button, Curdie and Long families, ''William Fyske, sonne of Jefrey Fyske and of Christian his wyfe, was bap. the last daye of Sept.

Stadhaugh, Eng., about 1525; m. Mrs. Sybil (Gould) Barber. For some time he was of the Parish of St. James, South Elmham, Eng. Sybil, the wife of Robert, was in great danger in the time of the religious persecution, 1553-58, as was her sister Isabella, originally Gould, who was confined in the castle of Norwich, and escaped death only by the power of her brothers, who were men of great influence in the county. Robert fled for religion's sake in the days of Queen Mary to Geneva, but returned later, and died at St. James. His will is dated Apr. 10, 1590, and proved July 28, 1600. Robert Fiske had by Sybil Gould, his wife, four sons and one daughter. The sons were William, Jefifrey, Thomas and Eleazer. Eleazer had 78. 75- 80. iii. 81.

ELIZABETH, b. in England; m. Robert Bernard. It will be remembered that Robert and Sybil Fiske, of whom their de- scendants were accustomed to speak with respect as Protestant confessors in the reign of Queen Mary, had beside the four sons a daughter Elizabeth, who married Robert Bernard, who was a farmer of the estate of Custrick Hall, in Wecky, County Essex, which he held of Sir Edward Coke, the lord chief justice. And, having mentioned this marriage, Candler brings before us a genealogical fact of great curiosity and impor- tance. It is that a daughter of this Bernard married a Locke, and was the mother of John Locke, who writing about 1660, he describes simply as "John Locke, M. A." Very little is known of Locke's father, but, any one who has written on his life has not had the slightest knowledge of the mother to whom we owe this eminent man. The mother of Locke was brought up among the more zealous Puritans of the Counties of Essex and Suffolk, and heard from her infancy stories of religious persecutions. She must have seen near connections of her family leaving their native homes to find, as they sup- posed, security and peace in a distant land, and the feeling thus engendered in her mind we may easily believe to have been communicated to her son, who in due time became the great defender of the principles of the utmost tolerance in dealing with men in force of conscience and religious opinion. This is a digression, but perhaps it will not be unacceptable to see the name of so illustrious a person now for the first time placed in public in family connection with so many of the early Puritan settlers in New England. Bernard stood in the rela- tion of great-uncle to Candler, who records the facts which I have now brought from their hiding place, and to all the Fiskes who laid the foundation of the families of that name in the New England states. John Locke (grandson of Robert Fiske), English philosopher, was born at Wrington, Somer- setshire, Aug. 29, 1632, died at Oates, a country seat in Essex, Oct 28, 1704. The moderate inheritance of his family was con- siderably reduced during the civil, wars, in which his father was FISKE GENEALOGY. 41 a parliamentary captain. Under the brief political ascendancy of the Puritans he imbibed the religious principle and spirit of liberty which actuated that body of men. His education began at Westminster school, from which he was elected in 1651 to Christ Church College, Oxford, where he graduated bachelor of arts in 1655 and master in 1658, continuing to reside in that city till 1664. In after life he regretted that he had spent so much of his time in the university, chiefly from his contempt of the scholastic philosophy and methods which were there upheld; yet he applied himself diligently to the classics, read in private the works of Bacon and Descartes, and enjoyed the friendship of persons whose society and conversation first suggested the idea of his greatest work. His companions were chosen rather from among the lively and agreeable than the studious and learned, and his early correspondence often displays wit and irony. The precise and scientific method of Descartes seems to have given the first impulse to his specu- lations, but Bacon exerted a more permanent and congenial influence, and he may be called the metaphysician of the Baconian philosophy. After receiving his degrees he devoted himself principally to medicine, which occupied much of his attention through life, and his eminent proficiency in which is attested by Dr. Sudenham, the greatest authority of his time. In 1664 he accepted the post of secretary in a diplomatic mis- sion to the court of Brandenburg, and, returning to Oxford within a year, was in doubt whether to begin the practice of medicine as a profession, to continue in diplomatic employ- ment, offers of which both in Spain and Germany were made to him, or to enter the church, a considerable preferment in which was promised through the duke of Orleans, lord lieu- tenant of Ireland. He was engaged in studies of experimental philosophy, when in 1666 he became acquainted with Lord Ashley, afterward earl of Shaftesbury, who was then suffering from an abscess in the chest. Locke divined the nature of the disorder, which no one else had been able to discover; the life of the nobleman was believed to have been saved by a surgical operation which the philosopher advised; and the result was a close and permanent friendship between them. Locke ac- companied him to London, and in his house enjoyed the soci- ety of the duke of Buckingham, the earl of Northumberland, Lord Halifax, and others of the most distinguished characters of the time. Ashley united engaging manners with distin- guished ability, and was an admirable talker; and Locke, whose esteem for conversational capacity led him to assign it a first place in the formation of a man's mind, was probably attached in this instance very much by his quality. While residing with him, he superintended the education of his son, and subsequently of his grandson, the third earl of Shaftes- bury, the elegant philosophical writer of Queen Anne's reign. In 1668 he accompanied the earl and countess of Northumber- land on a tour in France, and after his return was employed by Ashley to draw up the fundamental laws of Carolina, which province had been granted to him and seven others. The scheme of government which was prepared, aristocratic and conformed to monarchy, yet tolerant of all religions, indicates the cautious and practical tendencies of his mind, since, though a lover of freedom, he proposed to establish it in a new coun- try only in so far as it had been realized in England. In 1670 he made the first sketch of his "Essay concerning Human Understanding," which was finished in 1687 and published in 1690. In a discussion with five or six friends at his chambers in Oxford, he suggested that the dispute and perplexity tould only be solved by a preliminary examination of our own abili- 42 FISKE GENEALOGY. ties, and of what subjects our understandings are or are not fitted to deal with. He set down several thoughts on the sub- ject previous to their next meeting, and the work thus begun was often resumed and often neglected during his various avo- cations, and was ultimately cornpleted in retirement and leis- ure. While Shaftesbury was lord chancellor, Locke held the appointment of secretary for the presentation of beneficies, and afterward of secretary to the board of trade. In 1675 he went to France for the benefit of his health, residing at Montpellier, where he became acquainted with Mr. Herbert, afterward earl of Pembroke, to whom his "Essay" is dedicated, and in Paris, where his conversation was welcomed by the most eminent literary and scientific men. He was recalled to England when Shaftesbury regained power for a brief season in 1679; and when that nobleman charged with high treason had taken refuge in Holland, he followed him thither in 1683. He con- tinued to reside there after the death of Shaftesbury,' having incurred the hostility of the court by his connection with him. At Amsterdam he kept aloof from the British exiles who were plotting the rebellion of Monmouth, auguring their ill success, and joined with Limborch, Le Clerc, and others, in the forma- tion of a philosophical society for the weekly discussion of im- portant business. Spies were set about him ,to suggest irri- tating topics, and to report his words to his ruin, but they were foiled by his steady silence concerning the politics of the day. The court therefore resolved to punish him in the only point where he was vulnerable, and ejected him from his stu- dentship in Christchurch College. Still he refused to take part in the schemes of invasion, and concealed himself at Utrecht, where he was employed in writing his letter "On Toleration." In the Bibliotheque universalle et historique of Le Clerc he published in French in 1686 a "New Method of a Common- place Book," in 1687 an abridgement of his "Essay on the Human Understanding," which was published in England in , the same year, and in Latin at Gouda in 1689. Its liberal views were attacked by an Oxford theologian, and were defended by Locke in two additional letters. Adopting the theory of a compact, he maintained that the state relates only to civil inter- ests, has nothing to do with matters in the world to come, and should therefore tolerate all modes of worship not im- moral in their nature or involving doctrines inimical to good government. Conscious of no crime, he refused to accept a pardon which William Penn promised to obtain for him from James II., but returned to England after the revolution of 1688 in the same fleet which brought the Princess, of Orange, and obtained through Lord Mordaunt the office of commis- sioner of appeals. In 1690 appeared his "Essay concerning Human Understanding," the first work which attracted atten- tion in England to metaphysical speculations, except on the part of merely studious men, and one of the greatest contribu- tions in modern times to the philosophy of the human mind. The celebrity of the author as a friend of religious liberty, the attacks upon it, and the attempts made at Oxford to prevent the students from reading it, were among the secondary causes of its success. Six editions appeared within fourteen years, and through translations into Latin and French the fame of the author was made European. He published in 1690 two "Treatises on Civil Government," written to support the principles of the revolution by establishing the title of King William upon the consent of the people as the only title of lawful government. In 1693 his "Thoughts Concern- ing Education," in which his object is to fashion a gentleman rather than a scholar, and therefore he lays less stress on FISKE GENEALOGY. . 43 learning than on virtue, breeding and practical wisdom; and in 1695 "The Reasonableness of Christianity," the object of which was to determine what points of belief were common to all the Christian sects, in order to facilitate a plan of the king for the reconciliation and union of them all. He pub- lished a vindication of this work against the charge of So- cinianism, and conducted a controversy with Stillingfleet, who in his work on the Trinity denounced some of the prin- ciples of the "Essay" as opposed to fundamental Christian doctrines. In 1700 he resigned his commissionership in con- sequence of his failing health, and, declining a pension ofifered him by the king in a personal interview, returned to the man- sion of his friend Sir Francis Masham at Oates, in Essex, where he devoted the remainder of his life to the study of the Scriptures. Among the fruits of his later labors were a "Dis- course on the Miracles," "Paraphrases, with Notes, of the Epistles of St. Paul," and an "Examination of Father Male- branche's Opinion of Seeing all Things in God," which were published posthumously. His excellent treatise on the "Con- duct of the Understanding," which may be regarded as the ethical application of his "Essay," being a scheme of the edu- cation which an adult person should give himself, also ap- peared after his death. He received during his last years, while suffering under an incurable asthma, the affectionate attentions of Lady Masham, a daughter of Ralph Cudworth, and died ultimately in his chair, from the natural decay of a constitution originally weak, while she was reading the Psalms to him. The course and circumstances of Locke's life were in every respect favorable to the production of such work as the "Essay Cpncerning Human tjnderstanding." Early im- bued with a zeal for liberty and with the principles of a severe morality, his whole life was a warfare against the enemies of freedom in speculation, freedom in worship, and freedom from every unnecessary political restraint. Acquainted by his studies both with scholastic subtleties and the physical sciences, he was in mature age admitted to the society of wits and politicians, and became a man of business and of the world. The "Essay" was the product of meditation continued through many years, was composed at intervals, and is in a studied colloquial and rather racy style, which, however at- tractive to the reader, is too figurative, ambiguous, various, and even contradictory, for the purposes of philosophy. The essential character and tendency of his system has therefore always been a matter of dispute between metaphysicians of different schools, and different passages suggest very opposite conclusions. His object was to inquire into the origin, cer- tainty, and extent of human knowledge, and his method was purely psychological, by the patient and tentative observa- tion of the phenomena of consciousness. In the first book he confutes the Cartesian doctrine of innate principles or axioms, which would conflict with his whole theory of the empirical origin of our ideas. This theory is fully developed in the second book, in which he shows that our natural faculties are capable of forming every notion that we possess, that the action of these faculties takes its rise from experience, and that the mind may therefore be compared to a sheet of white paper void of all characters till the events of time inscribe them. Having thus stated the principle that all the materials of our knowledge come from experience, he explains it more particularly by making a distinction between sensation and re- flection as sources of ideas. The former is observation of the external world, the latter of our own mental operations. Though he uses the term reflection in a wavering and indefi- 44 FISKE GENEALOGY. nite sense, it does not plainly appear that he ascribed to it any other power than that of a mere formal and logical mechan- ism, to act upon, to combine and compare, and to extensively modify the materials primarily afforded by the senses. In long and acute processes of reasoning he aims to bring the ideas of space, time, infinity, causality, personal identity, sub- stance, and good and evil within the limits of experience. The third book is a treatise on the nature, use and abuse of lan- guage. In the fourth book he passes from ideas to knowl- edge, from psychology to onthology, treating the question as to the adequacy of our ideas and the reality of our knowl- edge. He held a representative theory of perception, main- taining that the mind does not know things immediately, but by the intervention of ideas; that knowledge is real only in so far as there is conformity between our ideas and the reality of things; and that ideas may be entirely inadequate, however distinct they are, thus rejecting the criterion of Descartes. This theory contains the germ of utter skepticism, and was the groimd on which Berkeley denied the existence of the material world, and Hume involved all human knowledge in doubt. The distinction established by Kant between the cause and the occasion of our conceptions, making the former to exist in the original constitution of the mind, and the latter in the circum- stances of experience, would have removed the fundamental error involved, perhaps without design, in the system of Locke. There are indications in many passages of his work that he was not satisfied with that tendency to sensationalism, which when rigidly developed bore fruits of utilitarianism in morals, ma- terialism in metaphysics, and skepticism in religion. A biog- raphy of Locke was published in 1829 by Lord King, a lineal descendant of his sister, and added to Bohn's "Standard Library" in 1858. The best complete edition of his works is in 10 vols.

RICHARD FISKE (Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Stadhaugh, Suffolk County, Eng., about 1510; m. Agnes Crispe, dau. of Edmund. According to Cotton Mather he lived in the reign of Queen Mary and endured grievous per- secution. There were several branches of Fiskes in the southern parts of the County of Suffolk, England, all springing from a Richard Fiske, who lived at Broad Gates, in Laxfield, a rural village north of Framlingham, where the inhab- itants were so zealous for the reformation that one of them, John Noyes, was most barbarously put to death in the reign of Queen Mary. Fox, in his account of the burning of Noyes, speaks of Nicholas Fiske, who was one of the sons of Richard. Two other of his sons, Robert and William, fled in the time of that ter- rible persecution. It does not appear that Nicholas had any issue. William who had fied was the subject of a parricide, for which his son, Joseph Fiske, suffered the penalty of death at Bury St. Edmunds. Of this branch of the family nothing more need be said, or of the descendants of other sons of Richard, than Robert, from whom sprang all of the name who were in the early emigration. He resided in Laxfield and made his will Sept. 7, 1572, which was proved Nov. s, 1572. His wife was Agnes, son Elias, daus. Mary, Margaret, Anne, Elizabeth and father-in-law Edmund Crispe.

He was born in Wenham, but early removed to Lynn, where he married his wife. Later he moved to Ipswich, where he afterwards resided and later to Swansey, where he died. Joseph Fiske of Lynn was in account with the estate of Wm. Barber in 1677. Mar. 24, 1689, he was "39 years of age or thereabouts" at the time he testified in regard to the will of Edward Richards. Joseph Fiske was a legatee in the will of James Axey with whom he had served. And he was executor of the will of said Axey's widow in 1670. In 1699 he was residing in Ipswich. He immigrated to Rehoboth and followed the Indian trail to the Pawtucket river through the unbroken wilderness, not far from 1700.

John Fiske was born in England and came to America with his brother Nathan and father Nathaniel. The mother had prob- ably died in England. The father died on the passage over. John took the oath of fidelity in 1652. In Watertown he purchased the west end of six acres of the Henry Dow lot, next south of Dea. T. Hastings and this was his first homestall which he sold Mar. 15, 1648 to Charles Stearns. The inventory of his estate was made Nov. 28, 1684, and amounted to £94-10-0.

JOHN FISKE (Moses, John, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Braintree, Mass., Nov. 26, 1684; m. Nov. 26, 1717, Abigail Hobart, dau. of Rev. Nehemiah Hobart, of Newton, Mass. He was born in that part of Quincy subsequently incorporated as Braintree, educated at the public schools and by his father and graduated at Harvard in 1702. After his father's death he preached in the Bramtree church and was ordained pastor of the church in KiUingly, Conn., Oct. 19, 1715, his brother-in-law. Rev. Joseph Baxter, of Medfield, preaching the sermon. There remained until 1741, when dis- affection arose in the church. He was dismissed by council and subsequently retired upon his large landed estate in KiUingly, where he died. July 16, 171 1, the town of KiUingly agreed to give Mr. Fiske three hundred and fifty acres of land for his encouragement to settle in the work of the rninistry. James Leavens and Sampson Howe were appointed a committee to lay out the land; Eleazer Bateman and Ephraim Warren to survey it. Two hundred acres were laid out to him on French River, beyond the bounds of KiUingly as it after- wards proved. Seventy-five acres for the homestead were selected on the eastern slope of KiUingly Hill, and seventy-five on Assawaga or Five-Mile River. Stated religious services were probably held after this date by Mr. Fiske, though some years passed before his settlement. In the summer of 1714 the meeting-house was raised and covered. Its site was east of the Plainfield road, about one-fourth of a mile south of the present East Putnam meeting-house. Nothing' is known of its size and appearance, or of the circumstances of its building. In the ensuing summer it was made ready for oc- cupation and preparations made for church organization. Sept. 15, 1715, was observed in KiUingly as a day of solemn fasting and prayer, preparatory to the gathering of a church and the ordination of a pastor. "October 19, 171;. a church was publicly gathered in KiUingly and John Fiske ordained the pastor of it." Mr. Dwight, of Woodstock, opened the service with prayer. Reverend Mr. Baxter, of Medfield, preached from Romans i: 16. Rev. Mr. Thatcher, of Milton, gave the charge to the minister and made the preceding and subsequent praycis. The first marriage recorded by the young minister was that of William Lariicd to Hannah, the first of the seven notable daughters of Simon Bryant. Mr. Fiske was himself married to Abigail, daughter of Rev. Nehemiah Hobart, of Newton, Mass., and sister of Mr. Samuel Estabrook, of Canterbury. The only incident of his domestic life that has come down to us, is the burning of his house and all its contents one Sabbath, when the family were attending public worship. The ministry of Mr. Fiske was acceptable and prosperous, and large numbers were added to the church. His pastoral charge comprehended also the inhabitants north of KiUingly, who were allowed to pay church rates, if not other town charges. Mr. Fiske was remarkably minute and methodical in the registry of church records, keeping separate lists of those unit- ing with the church by profession and by letter and of those owning the covenant. Very full lists of marriages and baptisms were preserved by him, which acquired additional value from the total lack of town records during the greater part of his ministry. Of the salary and settlement allowed to him nothing further is known, save that the hundred acres of land given by Capt. Chandler to the first settled minister of KiUingly, "which land by the ordering of Divine Providence appertains to John Fiske" — were laid out to him in 1721, west of Five-Mile River, a half mUe east of the meeting-house. Killingly's persistent attempts to secure possession of this land occasioned much trouble and confusion. Two hundred acres promised by the town to the Rev. Mr. Fiske, were laid out in Thompson's land, and Hascall and Spalding were encouraged in their unlawful appropriations of Cotton's and Collin's grants. In 1721 the selectmen of KiUingly without permission from Government pro- ceeded to lay out this colony land and apportion it among her own inhabitants and its consenting residents. The Mass. Government wrote to Conn, in behalf of Cotton and Collins and received assurance that their claims should be made up to them in the ungranted land near Woodstock. In 1726 Paul and William Dud- ley, Josiah Wolcott and Samuel Morris represented to the General Court, "that KiUingly, by what right they knew not, had laid out large quantities of land north of her prescribed bound, which was unjust and destructive of their rights," and begged relief. Joseph Leavens and Joseph Cady were summoned to answer in behalf of KiUingly proprietors, and insisted that the land thus laid out was in- FISKE GENEALOGY. eluded within their patent. The court pronounced their plea sufficient, but ordered patents to be granted and executed to such grantees "as shall show grants and surveys made by Mass." Though this decision admitted Killingly's claim to Connecticut's share of this colony land, she was still dissatisfied, and persisted in her efforts to recover the tracts to Massachusetts' grantees. The various public enterprises in which Killingly engaged, and her expensive controversy with Thompson and Massachusetts proprietors, absorbed much of her income, and she often found it difficult to meet her ordinary expenses. In 1734 the town voted "If any person or persons shall have money sufficient to pro- cure a book for ye record of deeds of the town, they shall have ye same refunded, and repaid them again." Shepherd Fisk and Jacob Dresser were able to advance the requisite sum, which was repaid them after a long interval. Simon Bryant, chosen in 1731 "to wait on the Rev. John Fiske in case he goes to Hartford, and to assist him and to represent him in his absence in case the said Mr. Fiske cannot go." after ten years' delay was reimbursed the four pounds expended in that service. The ministry to Mr. Fiske was acceptable and profitable to his people until a rupture occurred, from some cause not now manifest. "At a regular meeting of the first church of Killingly, July 8, 1741, after the meeting was opened by prayer, Mr. Fiske upon the advice of neighboring ministers, moved to the church to dismiss him from his pastoral relations." His request was granted by a clear majority. The Windham County association was called, "To consider and deter- mine the differences and difficulties between Rev. Fisk and the church, arising from several scandalous reports spread abroad concerning Mr. Fiske." Deacon Bateman, Justice Leavens, Samuel Danielson, Ebenezer Knight and Gideon Draper were appointed a committee to represent the church and provide for the council. No record of the result is given, but it probably confirmed the dis- missal of Mr. Fiske. The nature of the charges against him is not declared, but a succeeding pastor, with opportunity of judgment, was of opinion that they were not of any immorality. The church, at this date, numbered over four hundred members. Mr. Fiske, during his ministry, performed 763 baptisms, admitted 254 into full communion, and 148 to the half-way covenant. Aug., 1741, the com- mittee of the church applied to the Association for a minister, and were rec- ommended to several candidates, but did not succeed in securing one. The loss of the minister was soon followed by a protracted and violent con- troversy respecting a meeting-house. The rude church edifice of 171S was quite inadequate for the populous and thriving township of 1741, and the inhabitants of the south society were called together, Sept. 13, to see if they would vote to build a new meeting-house. Mr. Fiske, the former pastor, was one of the new pastor's constant hearers, having built himself a pew in the new meeting-house and bearing his part in all society charges. He d. May 18, 1773; res.

Braintree, April 6, 1689; m. Anna Gerrish. He was the youngest son of Rev. Moses Fiske, of Braintree, educated at the public schools and was graduated at Harvard College in 1708, where his name ap- pears on the roll without the e. He was ordained minister of the first church in Salem in Oct., 1718. Says Bentley, in his Memorial Sermon: Rev. Samuel Fiske was a man of eminent talents in the pulpit, of a firm and persevering mind, and held in high esteem till dissensions sprang up in the society from the ill-defined discipline then existing in our churches. He was a preacher of real abilities, but his high notions of church authority were repugnant to many persons and pre- vented his usefulness. He was dismissed from the First Church in 1735 and ac- cepted the charge of a new society established by his friends. He preached the first centenary lecture of the First Church Aug. 6, 1729. The election sermon delivered by him before the Governor and Legislature in 1731 may be ranked among the best. It was published and a copy of it is preserved among the State archives. Rev. Mr. Fiske was dismissed from the Third Church in 1745, when he retired from the public ministry. He was connected by marriage with one of the most flourishing families in Salem.

His name first appears upon the Lex. parish records in 1707, when Corpl. Jonathan Fiske was chosen one of the assessors. He was also a subscriber for the purchase of the common in 1711, though the church records show that his dau. Abigail was bap. in 1704, when he owned the covenant. He and his wife united with the church in 1708. He had a family of fourteen children, five of whom were b. in Lex., and the rest in Sudbury, to which place he moved about 1713, where he was a deacon. He and his wife were dismissed to the Sudbury church in 1718. His will, dated Nov. 13, 1740, mentions wife Abigail, five sons and seven daus., two of his children having died before that period.

Watertown, Mar. 8, 1689; m. May 26, 1718, Mary Stimpson, of Reading, b. ; d. Feb. 11, 1757. In 1711 he was a subscriber for the pur- chase of the common. He was ad. to the church in 1736. His residence was on Hancock street, where his father David had resided, and was one of the first set- tled iJaces in the township. The present, which is probably the second house on FISKE GENEALOGY. 97 that spot, was erected in 1732. Robert Fiske was a physician, and probably the first of the profession in that place. His wife survived him but a few years. The inventory of his estate sheds light upon the manners and customs of the age. Among other things, we find the following: Hat and wig loos; Arms — yellow stock gun, 8£ los; little gun s£; carbine 50s; brass pistols sos; rapier and belt i2s; three staves 20s; two cans and two piggens 155; one loom, quill wheel and warping bars, sos; two pairs snow shoes 30s. Books — General Practice of Physic, 30s; English Dispensatory or Synopsis of Medicine 30s. The Structure and Condi- tion of Bones iss. By these items, it will be seen that the doctor was quite as well armed for the art of war as for the art of healing. In the distribution of the estate of Dr. Robert Fiske, all of the real estate went to the older brothers of John, so that no deed from him appears to have been thereafter needed and in fact has not been found. 25 April, 1757, Robert Fiske of Woburn, Physician, gave to Joseph Fiske of Lexington, Physician and Jonas Parker of Lexington, laborer, a bond for £27, conditioned that David Fiske on coming of age would convey to Jonas Parker and Joseph Fiske his share in that one third of the estate of Robert Fiske, Physician of Lexington, deceased, which had been set of? to his mother, Mary Fiske, widow of the said Robert. The sure- ties were John Fiske of Lexington, Dr. Jonathan and David Fiske of Woburn, John Buckman of Lexington and Mary his wife, and Lydia Wilson, widow of Lexington. These sureties were evidently the brothers and sisters of Robert, Joseph and David Fiske, mentioned in the body of the bond. 5 December, 1757, John Buckman of Lexington, filed his bond as administrator of that part of the estate of Dr. Robert Fiske, left unadministered by his widow, Mary, the sureties on the bond being John Fiske, Physician, of Lexington and John Fiske of Wo- burn, yeoman.

He was an innkeeper and it was at his house that Capt. Parker and his patriotic men assembled on the evening of Apr. 18, 1775, and from this house they issued on the approach of the British the next morning. Shots were fired from this house upon the red coats after they had attacked the Americans upon the common, and some of the clapboards to this day give evidence that the fire was returned. Hist.

He appears to have ]feen popular in his day, having been called to fill many offices in the town. He was selectman ten years, between 1739 and 1758. He resided on the road to Concord, a little more than a mile from the common, at the easterly side of a large swell of land, which from his residence and ownership has taken the name of "Fiske Hill." It was at this house that the gallant Hayward of Acton met a British soldier coming from the well, between whom shots were exchanged, with fatal effect on both sides.

He received his 102 FISKE GENEALOGY. Sii- V. 512. VI. 513- Vll. ordination at Haddam, Conn., in 1714, where he became the colleague and suc- cessor of Rev Ter. Hobart, and died there, after a very successful pastorate of twenty-four years. Rev. Dr. D. D. Field, in his biographies of the early Connecti- cut clergy, speaks of him in high praise. "He was a man of piety and wisdom, sound in the faith, pleasant in intercourse, plain in reproof. His talents were solid rather than brilliant; his sermons better calculated to inform the understand- ing than to remove the passions. A man of scientific attainments, of good literary abilities, and of true Christian deportment, his name was long remembered with sincere respects, in Haddam." Rev.

She d. Feb 12, 1804. Sarah Wendell was first married to John Gerry, who died in 1785 ae. 45. Her father, John Wendell, was son of John and Elizabeth (Staats) Wendell and grandson of Evart Jansen and Wendell, who came from Embden, Prussia in 1645 and settled in Albany. Sarah's mother, Elizabeth Quincy, was daughter of Hon. Edmund and Dorothy (Flint) Quincy of Braintree, who died in London in 1737; and granddaughter of Col. Ed- mund and Elizabeth Gookin (Elliot) Quincy. Her daughter Sarah Gerry m. in 1785 Azor Orne, b. Mar. I, 1762; d. Apr. 17, 179S. She d. Nov. 11, 1846. He was -son of Col. Azor Orne of Marblehead. She was gr. dau. of Thomas and Elizabeth Gerry, who was father of Hon. Elbridge Gerry, at one time vice president of the United States. Gen. John Fiske was born in Salem, April loth, 1744; was son of the Rev. Samuel Fiske, who was ord. at Salem, 8 Oct. 1718, when his was the only Church within the limits of the town. He died April 7th, 1770, ae. 81. The venerable Nathan Bucknam of Medway, who died Feb., 1795, ae. 92, was uncle to Gen. Fiske, whom he baptized at Salem, 6 May (1744). Gen Fiske "early en- gaged in the business of the Sea." In 1775 he was a master mariner and became captain of the "Tyrannicide," the first war-vessel commissioned by the state of Massachusetts, 8 July, 1776. He made many successful cruises in her, and was engaged in several sanguinary combats. On 10 Dec, 1777 he took command of the state ship "Massachusetts," a larger and a better vessel. After the Rev. war he engaged in commercial pursuits and acquired property. At the commence- ment of the American Revolution, his knowledge of the sea and personal in- trepidity brought him into notice, and he was commissioned the first commander of a vessel of war by the government. At the close of the war, upon the reor- ganization of the State militia, he was commissioned a Colonel, then a Brigadier, FISKE GENEALOGY. 103 and finally, in 1792, a Major General, which position he held until his death, in September, 1797. He was a man of princely hospitality, of enterprising spirit, and benevolent impulses. He took a great interest in the various religious and charitable move- ments of his day, and contributed freely to their support. There are more transfers of property on the Salem records of deeds from Gen. John Fiske than any other one of this name, and in ten volumes of the records he is about the only Fiske mentioned. He was a very large property owner and was continually buying and selling real estate. I give these few transfers to show something of his purchases: John Fisk of Salem Gent, bought of David Ropes Jr of Salem Inholder 435^ poles of land & buildings thereon on the back st leading to the Training field in Salem bounded by Geo William, Thomas Pointon &c May 4 1778 John Fisk of Sal-em Esq bought of Sarah Lemmon widow of Salem Ferry Lane Salem 8 poles square bounded by heirs of David Northey on her other land & easterly on Skerrys lane so called Jan. 15 1779.

On the 30th of June, 1732, the General Court granted seven townships of land, six miles square each, to the descendants of the soldiers who destroyed the Narraganset fort, on the 19th of Dec, 1675. The number of soldiers was 840. This gave a township of six miles square to each 120 soldiers. These townships were granted on condition that each township should settle at least 60 families on its territory within seven years after the grant, settle a learned Orthodox minister, and lay out a lot of land for him and one for the school. If these conditions were not complied with the grant was to be void. On the 6th of June, 1733, the proprietors met on Boston Common, at 2 o'clock in the after- noon, when they voted that the grantees should be divided into seven societies, one township to be given to each society. Narraganset township No. 4 was first laid out in New Hampshire, but the committee reported that it was not fit for a settlement. Accordingly, on the 14th of Jan., 1737, the General Court granted to the proprietors of No. 4 the territory of Quabbin in exchange for the New Hampshire township. After surveying Quabbin, it was found to contain consid- erably less than six miles square. So the Court granted a tract of land lying west of, and adjoining to, Hatfield, sufficient to make up the full amount of territory to which the grantees were entitled. This tract is now embraced within the boundaries of Chesterfield. The territory' of Shelburne was originally included in Deerfield, and was at first called "The Deerfield Pasture," and afterward "Deerfield North West." It began to be settled not far from 1756. The first two settlements were made near Shelburne Falls, by families from Deerfield. The early settlers were soon obliged to retire, on account of the French and Indian war. The first permanent settlements are supposed to have been made about 1760. Among the first settlers was Ebenezer Fisk. The town was incorporated June 21, 1768, and was named after Lord Shelburne of England, who, according to the usual tradi- tion, gave the town a bell which, as usual, was lost after it had arrived at Boston. The first town meeting was held Oct. 31, 1768, at the house of Daniel Nims. Capt John Wells, from Deerfield, was the first town clerk; Ebenezer Fiske, constable. Among the descendants of Ebenezer and Dorcas were seven who entered the Christian ministry, inclusive of Rev. Pliny Fiske, of the Syrian mission. Rev. Dr. Ezra Fiske, of Goshen, N. Y., and Rev. Dr. D. T. Fiske, of Newburyport, A valuable cane, supposed to have been brought from England and willed by the Deacon to his second son, has been inherited by a male in this family in every generation since, the last possessor being Ebenezer Fiske of Adrian, Mich.

Joseph Bachelder, the first representative from Wenham (1644), emigrated in 1638, in company with his brothers, Henry and Joshua, who went to Ipswich, and John, who settled with him at Salem. Joseph soon after removed to Wen- ham, and, according to Dr. Allen, his descendants continue there to this day. Among his children (probably) were Joseph, Mark, David, John and Ebenezer. Ebenezer was constable in 1714, and Mark was one of the five drafted in King Philip's war and perished in the fierce assault upon the fort of the Narragansetts, 1675. David Bachelder, a grandson of Joseph, Sen., by wife Susanna, had sons David, Joseph, Amos, Nehemiah and Abraham, and daughters Mary and Susanna. The latter married William Fiske, Sen., of Amherst. Her brothers Joseph, Amos, and cousins Israel, Josiah and Ebenezer, were Revolutionary soldiers. The name on the records is frequently spelled Batcheller and Bachelor. David Batchelder made his will Aug. 25, 1759, which was proved Mar. 11, 1766. Wife Susannah to have the Easterly end ot the house &c, son David, son Joseph, son Nehemiah — son Abraham — Daughter Mary to have ten shillings &c— Daughter Susannah to have ten shillings to be paid at the end of one year after my decease also my largest Brass Kettle — son Amos to have the whole estate excepting the above legacy, to be executor. Wm resided in Wenham, Mass., and in 1774 removed to Amherst, N. H., where they settled on a tract of land on the south side of Walnut Hill. He was the executor of his father's will. He was the founder of the Amherst, N. H., ■branch. He resided at the ancient homestead in Wenham, where probably his father, himself and his own children were all born, after the decease or removal of his parents and immediate relatives. Of himself personally, little is known, except that in his character and principles he was a stanch Puritan. His father and grandfather were successively deacons in the original Wenham church for upwards of seventy years; the same ancient church of which Rev. John Fiske himself was the original pastor. More remotely still the family had been identified with that great reformatory struggle in England, from which were fathered the rich fruits for a purer faith and constitutional liberty. Having been appointed sole executor of hjs will and principal heir by Deacon Ebenezer Fiske, William Fiske remained in Wenham long enough to settle the estate and dispose of the homestead and various tracts of land, when (in 1773 or 4) he removed to Amherst, N. H., with his wife Susanna, nine children and two daughters-in-law, Mary Bragg, the wife of their son Jonathan and Eunice Nourse, wife of their son William. The father, William, Sen., purchased a tract of land in Amherst. The situation was cozy, well sheltered and watered, but the country then was mostly a wilderness and the la^id rough, rocky and heavily timbered, requiring immense labor and sturdy courage to clear it oil. The fatigue and ex- posure incidental to establishing the new home under such straitened cir- cumstances, doubtless bore hard on all the members of the family, and must have 108 FISKE GENEALOGY. contributed directly to the fatlier's death, as he lived but a few years after. But they were glad to get away from the disturbances then thickening along the sea- board, and in hopes that the distance from the seat of impending (British) war, would in a measure secure them from its horrors that are attended with every war, its privations and hardships. Mr. Fiske lived to see his country proclaimed free and independent and his family settled in comparative comfort, and died in 1777, in the 82d year of his age. His widow Susanna \\as appointed administratrix of his estate June 10, 1777. His widow, surviving many years, married again and died about 1810 at quite an advanced age. Of their sons and daughters all except Anne married, and she and two others excepted William and David remained in Amherst, and settled elsewhere. Some of them raised large families and all more or less prospered in circumstances and the good esteem of their fellow-citizens. Of them all it is believed that it may be truly said that their lives were blameless and their end calm and full of peace. He d. in June, 1777; res. Wenham, Mass., and Amherst, N. H. 563. i.

Joseph Frye, of Andover, doing service at Scarborough. The time of service of Samuel Fiske was from April 27, 1748, to May i, 1749. His wife was sick while" he was serving as soldier in the French and Indian war. Mrs. Fiske had probably gone to the fort to help take care of the sick, and fell a victim to the disorder. The winter was close upon them, and considerable snow having already fallen, the soldiers proceeded to Ticonderoga, where they encamped over night and hurried on their homeward way next morning. They marched in as direct a line as pos- sible, through Vermont and New Hampshire, and reached home just before the first of December. Samuel Fisk of Boxford yeoman & wife Judith sold to Jona.

Dec. 25, 1723, Elizabeth Durkee. He was born in Watertown, Mass., and while a young man emigrated to the colony of Connecticut and located in Windham, one of the oldest places in that state, where he ever after resided. Eli C. Fisk, of Havanna, III., in writing in re- lation to his ancestor said: "Our ancestor dropped the final e from the family name and settled first in Mass., and when Hooker went to Conn, in 1636 he ac- companied him. Many of his descendants still remain in Conn., but in the early days some went into Rhode Island. Hence the early Conn, and R. I. Fisks dropped the final vowel from their names. In the fall of 1867 or spring of 1868 James Fisk (one of my father's brothers) of Omro, Wis., paid me a visit; he also told me the same story in respect to our ancestors being one of Hooker's party and that he was the person that dropped the final e of the family name. Also my father told me the same, and it came in this way. I received a letter from Stephen Fisk (another brother of my father) of Wales, Mass., who lived on the old homestead there that signed the letter e to his son's name. Both of my parents said it did not belong there, and that the Fisk that emigrated to Windham, Conn., with Hooker dropped it, and none of the family had ever assumed it since. Now you have my authority for my statement." He was a farmer. He d. Mar. 25, 1748; res. Windham, Conn. 642. i. DAVID, b. Nov. 3, 1724; d. Nov. 24, 1724. 643. ii. DAVID, b. Dec. 17, 1726; m.

In the early records of the town, constant refer- ences appear relating to militia affairs. The citizens were often called to make practical exhibitions of their patriotism and bravery in their country's service. The town. May 4, 1744, "Voted the sum of ^30 to provide powder and bullets, and fimts for town-stock." Bezaleel Fiske was sergeant of the company. He was prominent in all the affairs of town and church, was selectman 1759-60, assessor the same years, and town treasurer 1760-61. Res. Holden, Mass AMASA, b. Nov. 27, 1745. LUTHER, b.

The widow then married Dec. 7, 1741, Nathaniel Haven of Framingham. Soon after the death of Jason, the widow was appointed guardian of the three children. Nov. 23, 1741, Abigail, with the other two children, chose Jason Gleason in her stead. Jason Rice was the son of Dea. Edmund and Joyce (Russell) Rice of Cambridge. When the father died the other heirs deeded the Sudbury property to Jason, upon which he subse- quently resided, and where he died. Nathaniel Haven was a member of the Framingham church when constituted; was constable in 1707; selectman in 1706. He d. July 20, 1746. Samuel was born nine years after the marriage of his par- ents; he was the third and youngest child, the other two being Jason and Hepzi- bath. He was b. Feb. 8, 1762, and went from Sherburne to Barre with his parents when he was about nine years old, and died there in 1832. His father Samuel, and son Samuel are also buried in Barre, I believe. He d. in Barre, Mass.; res. Sudbury, Sherburne and Barre, Mass. By the will of his father, Johnathan, who died in 1740, he was given "26 acres of land in Sudbury on the east side of the river called the Neck." He moved to Sudbury and was married, there, and soon afterward sold his 26 acres and moved to Sherborn, moving later to Barre, Mass., where he died. Middles'x Co. Deed — At Cambridge.

S, I7S0, Ruth Noyes. He was a native of Sudbury, Ijut early was a resident of Holden. He was one of the prominent men in the town and for years, from Mar. 31, 1762, was deacon of the church. Among papers belonging to the Rev. Mr. Avery, pastor of the church, I have found a small memorandum book, which contains some entries of peculiar interest. The book bears date 1782. That was a period of great distress among the people. The war had been long. Money was scarce, and it was with some difficulty that Mr. Aveiy received his annual salary. His parishioners, however, were disposed to share with their pastor, the good things of life. "Memorandum of gifts received." "Of Deacon Hubbard, a piece of beef; a pail of soap; a loaf of bread; a few candles; two quarts of milk; a cheese, and four pounds of butter." "Of Mr. Abbott, a piece of beef and of pork; also a spare-rib; three candles; some malt and a piece of bread, also two wash tubs and thirty nails, and a few hops." "Of Lieut. Hub- bard, a piece of beef, a cheese and some malt." "Of Mr. Ebn. Estabrook, a leg of pork." "Of Deacon Fiske, a piece of beef, Jan. sth." The ladies of that day were equally thoughtful in regard to the wants of the Parish Priest. "Of Mrs. Benj. Flagg, a cheese." "Of Mrs. Fiske, a lb. of combed flax." "Of Mrs. Elisha Hubbard, some flax." David Fiske was town clerk 1783-6-8-9; selectman, 1761-2-9-71-77-78-83; asses- sor, 1767-9-71-7-8-83-5-7-8. When the census of the town was taken in 1773 his family consisted of eight persons. He served in the local militia company as pri- vate before and during the Revolutionary War. He d. ; res.

Betty Fiske bought eighty acres of land in Lex. bounded easterly on the Woburn line and westerly by land of Lemuel Simonds. Her will, dated Dec. 4, 1770, and proved in 1771, mentions sons Robert, John and David and daus. Betty and Ruth. The record of this family is quite defective. Like his father, he was a physician by profession, and appears to have resided in many places. In 1760 he was in the French and Indian war. In 1757 in Woburn, and in 1764 he ret. to Lex.

Nov. 6, 1735, dau. of John and Mary (Willis) Ingalls of Pomfret. He was born in Lexington. He studied medicine, but did not practice to any great extent. There is not any record of his marriage on the Lexington records. He was in Lex. in 1752 and later as one of the heirs — "Dr. John Fiske" — he sold land to Jonas Parker. In 1754 he was in the French and Indian war, and it is said later he was of Pomfret, town, a housewright and bought in 1753 of Nathaniel Abbott of Pomfret land lying partly in Pomfret and partly in Ashtord. In 1756 he sold to William Legg of Mendon 30^ acres in Mendon North Purchase, now Milford. John Fiske, carpenter, first appears on Pomfret records 21 January, 1753, when for £1450 bills of public credit, he bought of Nathan Abbott of Pomfret, S4|4 acres of land lying partly in Pomfret and partly in Ashford. Fiske sold this land the following year to Jonathan Lyon of Promfret for £1660, old tennor, buying of Lyon at the same time for ii7op, 35 acres in Pomfret. John Fiske married 9 Jan., I7SS.

DAVID FISKE (Robert, David, David, David, Jeffrey, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Lex., Mar. 8, 1737; m. June 22, 1760, Elizabeth Blod- gett. He was a weaver and to distinguish him from others of the same name, he was called "Weaver David." He was famous as a hunter. Though the wild game was not very plenty in his day, he contributed greatly to thin off the deer, bears, etc. He ran down and killed a stately buck on the hill over which the Burlingame road ran, and hence it has taken the name of "Buck's Hill." There is no record of his family. He d. July 20, 1815; res. Lexington, Mass. 743- i DAVID, b. Nov. 23, 1760; m. Sarah Hadley and Mrs. Ruth 744- ii- BENJAMIN, b. . 745- iii. BETSEY, b. ; m.

EBENEZER FISKE (Ebenezer, David, David, David, Jeffrey, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Lex., Mar. S, 1725; m. Elizabeth Cotton of Boston, b. Aug. 24, 1727. Her father, Rev. Ward Cotton, married Joanna Rand of Boston. Their children, as far as we have ascertained, were: Isabella, b. 1735, d. July 31, 1752; Elizabeth; Sarah Cotton, b. Oct. 19, 1739. After Mr. Cotton's dismission he removed to Plymouth, Mass., where he d. Nov. 27, 1768, ae. 57 years. Mrs. Cotton survived him, and was married to Mr. Jonathan Gilman of Exeter. To show how little one knows of their ancestors I give this. A great-grand- son of Dr. Fiske in writing to the compiler in 1896 says: "Our branch of the Fisk family, unfortunately, I have been unable to trace back beyond the landing in New York about 1781. My great-grandfather was a physician, evidently from a prominent English family. The place from which, and the date of his departure from England, we cannot discover, nor do we know his name, as he died on the FISKE GENEALOGY. 123 passage over. He was a widower with three small children, but his mother attended him on the passage. The names of the three orphan children who landed in New York about 1781, under the care of their grandmother, were: Eben- ezer Fisk, Isabella Fisk and Cotton Fisk. The evidence that our great-grandfather came from a wealthy family in England is supposed from the fact that among his effects, landing in New York, which my grandfather had, was a great chest con- taining a costly wardrobe, a number of velvet suits, etc., a tortoise shell jewel box with many jewels, and his medical and surgical instruments. This jewel case is now in the possession of Cotton N. Fisk, at Abbotsford, P. Q., Canada." He d. 1781; res. Epping, N. H. 746. i. EBENEZER, b. — ; m. and Azuba Hoyt. 747. ii.

D. 1772, or 1773, and settled in the northwesterly part of Concord, N. H., near the Hopkinton line. He had been married to Mehitable Frost. When her son Ephraim was born she was thirteen and a half years old. She used to ask her mother to tend her baby while she went out with the children to play. A person asked her how old she was when her first child was born? She replied: "Thirteen and a half years old and what is that to you?" Mr. Fiske and his son Ephraim were soldiers in the Rev- 128 FISKE GENEALOGY. olutionary War. Both were in the battle of Bennington. Ephraim, St., signed the following with others at Concord, N. H., in 1775: "We, the Subscribers, do hereby solemnly engage and promise that we will, to the utmost of our Power, at the Risque of our lives and Fortunes, with Arms, oppose the Hostile Proceed- ings of the British Fleets and Armies against the United American Colonies."

Jonathan Fisk, the oldest Fisk of this branch, lived three miles from Schuylerville on the Hudson, Saratoga County, New York, in a log house. He was born in Rhode Island, but whether all his children were born there it cannot be ascertained. It has been stated that all of this family of twelve children except one lived over 70 years, and that the exception was not a natural death. During the Revolutionary War he served in the Connecticut line. Soon after the war he moved to New York State with his family. On Mar. 11, 1820, the government granted him a pension, and he was 77 years of age. This would make his birth in 1743. He d. Dec. 22, 1816; res. Rhode Island and Schuylerville, N. Y. JONATHAN, b.

He preached as a missionary in Georgia for two or three years, and there he married a daughter of the venerable Dr. Francis Cummins. In 1813 he was permanently settled in the ministry at Goshen, N. Y., where he sustained a beloved pas- toral relation with his people for upward of twenty years, when he was compelled, by an affection of the lungs, to intermit his labors, and seek relief by a winter's residence at the South. During his absence he was appointed to but declined the ofitice of General Agent of and elected Professor of Ecclesiastical History and Church Government, in the Western Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania, which position, upon his return north, he accepted. On the 4th of November, 1833, while on the way to his new field of labor, he was taken suddenly and fatally ill, at Philadelphia, just after the close of an impressive discourse.

He received his doctorate from Hamilton College, and was highly esteemed for his ripe schol- arship, for the acumen and strength of his mind, and for his Christian integrity. He was the author of several published sermons and a valuable series of essays on Mental Science. Few men were better read in the Hebrew and Classics, and in the realm of Mental Philosophy he had no superiors in his church. As a preacher he was always master of his theme and audience. His style was logical, polished, always forcible, and at times impassioned; his eloquence, the rich overflow of a well- stored mind sanctified by grace. He labored to win souls, not to himself but to Christ, and not many have had more seals to 132 FISKE GENEALOGY. 890. 891. -^7892. their ministry. Nearly six iiundred sound and permanent con- versions were the fruits of his devoted labors. In his dis- courses he -was accustomed to address both the understanding and the feelings, the reason and the passions of men. To a personal dignity and nobleness of manner, he added a purity of purpose, sweetness of temper and benignity of heart irresist- ibly fascinating.

He was graduated at Middlebury College in 1814, and at Andover Theological Seminary in 1818. He was appointed, with Levi Parsons, by the American board, to the Palestine Mission, in 1818, and sailed from Boston for Smyrna, Nov. 3, 1819. On his arrival in Smyrna, he spent some time in perfecting his knowledge of the oriental languages, and then traveled through Egypt, Arabia, Palestine and Syria, preaching, holding confer- ence rneetings and distributing copies of the Bible. He resided at various times in Jerusalem, Damascus, Antioch, Alexandria and Beyrut where lie died. After traveling extensively in Greece, Egypt, Palestine and Syria, he joined, in May, 1825, the mission already established at Beyrut, and died there of fever in the following October. Mr. Fisk was eminently fitted to be a missionary in the east, as he preached in Italian, French, Greek and Arabic. On the day of his death, he completed an "English and Arabic dictionary," and wrote numerous papers for the "Missionary Herald."

Whitney v/as born on the farm, owned and occupied by him till his death, about one mile north of Wadham's Mills. His father, John Whitney, was one of the pioneers who settled that region early in the present century, coming about 1808. Among these set- tlers were Benjamin Whitney and Daniel Safford, who married Sally Whitney. John was a shoemaker by trade. He was one of the pioneers in the temperance cause, and his house, still standing, was the first building in that region raised without intoxicating liquor (1829). He, with others, responded to the call for the militia in 1812-14, but arrived at Plattsburg too late to participate in the fight. Taken away in the prime of life, 1834, he left an honored name to his family. After the death of his father, John Russell Whitney was obliged to assume the care of the home, and lived with his widowed mother several years. He was married, Mar. 3, 1840, to Elmina E. Fisk, daughter of Dea. Moses Fisk, of Waitsfield, Vt. Having been deprived of educational privileges in his younger days, he was deter- m.ined to give his family every possible advantage, often mak- ing great sacrifices to secure school privileges to his children; for several winters he had a family school. He was deeply interested in the Congregational church at Wadham's Mills, of which he became a member at the early age of fourteen. He was elected deacon about 1863, to fill a vacancy caused by the death of the senior deacon, and held this office till his death in 1880. He was especially active in all church affairs, and did much for the maintenance of public service. Enjoying the advantages provided for them, his children sought to im- prove themselves, and have all honored the name and memory of their parents. Dea. Whitney passed away after a severe and painful illness of heart disease. He d. July 23, 1880; res. Wad- ham's Mills, N. Y. Ch.: i, Elizabeth Hannah, b. Jan. 11, 1841; d.

JUDGE JONATHAN FISKE (William, Ebenezer, William, William, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Wenham, Mass., May I, 1751; m. Nov. 26, 1772, Mrs. Mary Bragg, b. 1752, d. 1826. Jonathan Fiske, the eldest son of William Fiske, Sr., of Amherst, established himself in the northwest parish of that town, since known as Mt. Vernon. After a few years he removed thence to Francestown, N. H., where he resided several years, and where his younger children were born. In 1790 he was chosen deacon of the Congregational church in Francestown and officiated in that capacity until 1794, when in September he removed to Williamstown, Vt., where he seems to have in time acquired pop- ularity and social influence, to have been again elected deacon and to various other offices, which he filled to the general satisfaction of his constituents. A correspondent writes: "Judge Fiske was a justice of the peace and town clerk in Williamstown from my earliest recollection until a brief period before his death, and as such made public all the marriages, and did most of the marry- ing. He represented that town in the state legislature, I think, over twenty years in succession, and afterward at various times. He was also judge of probate at an early date, and continued in that office until his sight failed and until too old and otherwise infirm to discharge its duties. He was also a deacon in the Congre- gational church at Williamstown further back than I can remember, and when he died his mantle fell on two of his worthy sons now living." From a file of the Wenham records it appears that Judge Jonathan Fiske was married to Mrs. Mary Bragg by Rev. Joseph Swain in Dec, 1772. They were the parents of twelve chil- dren, eight sons and five daughters, all of whom except one matured, married, and had families, and all excepting three lived to be over seventy years of age. Their grandchildren number upward of seventy, fifty-three of whom are still living (1867), including the fourth generation. Their living descendants will probably reach one hundred souls. Judge Fiske, after living to see his children all married and comfortably settled in life, died in 1825 — his wife the following year — ^both at the age of seventy-four. Their closing days were spent with their son, Samuel, who then resided in Berlin, Vt., and after their deaths their remains were taken to Northfield for burial. The sons, Nathaniel, William, John, Samuel, and daugh- ters Elizabeth and Anna were married by their father in Williamstown, where most of the family appear to have originally settled. Some of them afterward removed to Northfield, where a number of their descendants yet remain. Amherst, N. H., is situated in Hillsborough County, forty-seven miles from Boston and twenty- eight from Concord, the state capital. The town had its origm in a grant of the general court of Massachusetts to the surviving officers and soldiers of the Nar- ragansett war and to the posterity of those now living. The claimants had seven towns awarded them. Amherst was principally settled by people from Wenham and adjoining towns and incorporated in 1760. In 1771 Amherst became the shire town of Hillsborough County, and after many years was one of the most flourish- ing villages in the state. Its residents contained many people who later attained prominence in the state and nation, among the number being President Franklin Pierce, Horace Greeley and Daniel Webster. He d. 1825; res.

His wife died there in the spring of 1851. One of their sons was a presiding elder in the M. E. Church for several years. Two daughters have resided at Northfield, and one of them is the wife of a clergyman in the same denomi- nation. Ch. : Huldah, b. July 31, 1801; Elijah, b. July 31, 1803; Sophia, b.

They had seven children, named Sarah Sophia, George Martin, John H., Marshal S., George Sullivan, Mary Jane, Daniel W. John Richardson d. Mar. 6, 1834. Widow Huldah was married to Rev. Hosea Clark in June, 1838. They had Lucia Ann and Stephen A. Clark. The latter was an officer in Sherman's army. John H. and Daniel W. Richardson mar- ried. The former had four and the latter two children. Elijah Worthington married in Stafford, Vt., Emily Rand, a school teacher. They had but one child, Francis, born at Northfield. Elijah emigrated west and died at Hart Prairie, Wis., June 4, 1858. He was a minister and farmer. Sophia Worthington married at Northfield Nathan S. Green, a manufacturer, May 7, 1833. They had three children, Mary Sophia, George and Charles, born at Northfield. Also two grandchildren. Lyman Worthington married, at Norwich, Vt, Caroline Blood, a school teacher. He was a millwright by trade. They had three children, Susan A., George and Charles, who are now in the West. Their father died in Michigan. Mary Worthington married at Northfield Moses Lane, a farmer, May 2, 1833. She resided in Northfield. Rhoda Worthington married, in North- field, Gilman Cummings, a farmer, at Metuchen, N. J. They had three children, Elvira, George T. (was a Union soldier) and Daniel. Daniel Worthington, Jr., married, at Northfield, Miss Ann Paine, a teacher, in May, 1835. They had one child, Frances, born in 1837. He resided in Chicago, 111. His daugh- ter Frances, married a Mr. Hall. They had three or four chil- dren. Rev. David Worthington in early life identified him- self with the M. E. Church, and at the early age of twenty-two entered upon the work of the ministry. His labors in this call- ing were mostly confined to the limits of the Iowa conference, where his zeal and talents soon placed him in the front rank of the clergy of that state. Several years since Mr. Worthing- ton received the appointment of presiding elder for Mt. Pleas- ant district, and was continued in that position until his death, by consumption, which took place in Mar., 1866. A sound preacher, and a devoted evangelist, he went to his grave according to his wish with the harness on. Mr. Worthington was twice married, and left four children by his first wife, Arinda Lee, the eldest of whom, Jason, died while in the service of his country during the late war. Theodore Worthington was a farmer and lived in Oconomowoc, Wis., and had a family. 917. V. JOHN, b. Feb. 24, 1783; m. Elizabeth Martin. 918. vi. BENJAMIN, b. Nov. 17, 1784; m.

WILLIAM FISKE (William, Ebenezer, William, William, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Wenham, Mass., Apr. 20, 1755; m. Oct. 28, 1773, Eunice Nourse, b. May 2, 1752, d. Mar. 13, 1819; m. 2d, Nov. 28, 1819, Hannah Walker of Concord, N. H.; d. Dec. 10, 1841. Dea- con Francis Nourse of Danvers, Mass., whose eldest daughter, Eunice, and granddaughters Abigail and Harriet Nourse, married Amherst Fiskes, was a lineal descendant of Francis and Rebecca Nourse, original settlers in Salem, Mass. Francis Nourse died in 1695, aged 77 years; his wife, Rebecca, July 19, 1692 — one of the sad victims of the Salem witchcraft. The jury — Capt. Thomas Fiske, fore- man "were compelled to convict, against their better judgment and belief, through the singular infatuation and perversity of the judges." In Apr., 1779, Mr. Fiske located himself and wife on a farm situated on the turnpike leading from Amherst village to Bedford, and for some years occupied a small tolling house. His farm was limited in extent and his land rough and rocky. Mr. Fiske and wife became members of the Congregational Church in Amherst, Nov. 6, 1776, and lived exemplary Christian lives to the day of their death. Besides having for some years command of the military company, Mr. Fiske was in Mar., 1792, elected town clerk of Amherst and re-elected every year in succession for twenty years. In Mar., 1794, he was chosen chairman of the board of selectmen of Amherst and held that office till 1815, twenty-one consecutive years. He was chosen representative of the town at the general court in 1798-99, 1804-5-6-7-8-9. He was elected state senator for the Seventh senatorial district in 1810-11-12-13. He was then appointed one of the justices of the court of common pleas of the county of Hillsborough, but a remodeling of the courts by the state soon after by legislature (a political change occurring in that body), by which all the judges FISKE GENEALOGY. iy7 were displaced to make room for new favorites, prevented his accepting the appointment. In 1815 he was appointed United States Assessor of direct taxes for the county of Hillsborough. In 1824 he was chosen one of the electors of president and vice-president, and cast his vote for John Quincy Adams. Having attained the good old age of three score and ten, he then retired from public life, and spent the remainder of his days in the quiet of home where he died. He was twice married. His first wife was Eunice Nourse and the mother of his children. A few years after he married Miss Hannah, daughter of James Walker, Esq., of Concord, N. H., but had no children by her. In personal appearance Mr. Fiske was rather commanding, being six feet in height and well proportioned. His features were strongly molded and intellectual. Of Puritan descent, he was in principles, habits and manners a Puritan of the straitest sect, rendered straiter perhaps by his severe and excessive labors. In his family and on his farm his right to rule no subordinate ever presumed to question. By his strict yet judi- cious exercise of authority his children were trained to admirable obedience. The homestead in which Hon. William Fiske resided was erected in 179S, and was ranked among the finest and most desirable in that section. It is located two and a half miles northeasterly from Amherst on the old stage road between that place and Manchester and Concord. To the south lies Walnut Hill, 200 feet high, to the north Chestnut Hills flanking them on the right and left and at a distance of from three to five miles tower the granite peaks of "Joe English" and "Uncanoo- nucks" and southeast Babboosack Pond.

He enlisted at the age of eighteen for one year, and was stationed first at Newcastle, N, H. In the fall of 1786 he was m. to Edith Tay of Chelsea, Mass., and settled in Merrimack, N. H. They both united with the Congregational Church. They had five children. In April, 1801, Mr. Fiske removed to Amherst and setWed on a farm in the eastern part of that town, where he lived a Christian life.

Deacon Ebenezer Fiske, fourth son of William and Susanna Fiske, removed from Wenham to Amherst with his father when but eleven years of age, and resided in that place until his majority. Owing to the reduced circumstances of the family, caused by the bankruptcies of his father's brother-in-law (White), for whom his father had largely endorsed, Eben lost the opportunity for enjoying educational privileges. He, however, inherited a re- markable physical frame and strong intellect, and possessed good sterling qualities and an indomitable will. Many and remarkable are the feats of strength recorded of him when in the prime of his powers, while his excellent common sense and well-known integrity made hinj a counselor among his fellow towns- FISKE GENEALOGY. 139 men in Mt. Vernon, where he subsequently resided and for many years filled various local offices. In 1782 he married Abigail Woodbury, born in Beverly, Mass., March 7, 1766, and second daughter of James Woodbury of Mt. Vernon. N. H., near Amherst, to which place he at once removed. Miss Woodbury was of an excellent family, and a relative of Judge Levi Woodbury of i-'ortsmouth, N. H., a farmer of the state and secretary of the United States Treasury under President Jackson. Mr. Fiske, like the most of his ancestors, was blessed with a large family, six sons and six daughters, all of whom, except a son who died in infancy, lived to mature age. All of these except the two last were born in Mt. Vernon. After residing for some years in this place, Mr. Fiske removed to Warner, N. H., where he pur- chased a farm, and later located on a farm on the "Wilmot Flat" in Wilmot, N. H. Later in life he move'd to the hills in the northwestern part of the town, called North Wilmot, and near where a meeting house afterward stood. Here he and the wife of his youth grew old together, sustained and cheered by the consola- tions of the gospel, and by the tender love and care of their son, Calvin, who, with most filial affection, watched over and cared for them to the day of their death. Ebenezer Fiske was a man of decided and conscientious and fixed and exemplary principles, and the resolute energy and courage that always rises superior to the difficulties of the occasion. During the most of his life he was a member and deacon of the Congregational Church. He d. May 8, 1838; res. Wilmot, N. H. 939. i. ABIGAIL, b. Dec. 22, 1783; m. Josiah Carrier of Warner, N.

In 1825 he returned and engaged in manufacturing boot? and shoes on George Hill. Later he moved to Boston, where he resided for seven years. Returning to Grafton in 1832, he purchased the Hon. Samuel Wood place at the head of the common, where he resided for twenty-live years. During this time he was engaged in the manufacture of boots and shoes. He died at his home on Bowdoin street, Boston. It was to his persistent efforts more than any other person that I02I. 1. 1022. U. 1023. m. 1024.

He early removed to Killingly, Conn., where he afterward resided. He was a prominent citizen, deacon for a number of terms, and held a number of important offices, and was respected and ■esteemed in the community where he lived. He was married twice. By his first wife he had six children, four being born at one time. The children all lived, but the mother died. By his second wife, ten children. He died above 80 years old, greatly respected; he was a man of superior physical and mental abilities, and like his brother Isaac, was known as a peacemaker in society. Upon the alarm following the capture of Fort William Henry by Montcalm, four volunteer companies marched from Windham County commanded by Abner Baker, Ashford; John Carpenter, Woodstock; Isaac Coit, Plainfield; John Gros- vener, Pomfret. These volunteers were mostly men advanced in life, the fathers ■of the towns, showing that most of the men were already in service. Among the number was Ephraim Fiske. He d. ■ ; res. Johnston, R.

JUDGE ISAAC FISKE (Joseph, Samuel, Joseph, William, John, Will- iam, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Johnston, R. I., June 15, I7S7; m. there in 1775, Marcy Fenner, dau. of Richard, b. Feb. 24, 1758, d. July 7, 1820. He was born on the old homestead in Johnston, R. I., and received an ex- cellent education for those early days. Before he had obtained his majority he en- listed in the Continental Army under Gen. Greene, of Rhode Island. He was sta- tioned at Prospect Hill in Cambridge, not far from Bunker Hill in Charlestown. His grandson, Geo. R. Fiske, Esq., of Roxbury, has two letters of his written the time he was in the army. One is dated Sept. 3, 177S, and the other Oct. 26, 177S, which he sent to his father, Joseph Fiske. This is the inventory of his estate: 1824, Aug 14 Inventory of Isaac Fiske $1303.40 viz. carding machine, turning lath, linen wheel, wooden wheel, quilt wheel, cash $38.50, silver watch, cooper's tools, blacksmith's tools, pepper mill, cofifee mill, white horse, 2 cows, l heifer, chaise, writing desk, 27 stacks rye, 4 stacks clover, clover in barn, $100. It is evident that he left home against the will of his parents, or certainly not with their approval, for he says he will not enlist again when his time is up. He was then 18 yrs. old, and the letters are very pathetic, showing the lack of almost everything among the troops, especially am- munition I have also another letter of his written five years later, when he was very active in religious matters, probably had become a member of the Society of Friends, which he certainly was later on. In later life he was always called Judge Fiske; twenty years Judge of Probate and later Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and the high estimation in which he was held by his neighbors. "My father once took me to the graves of his father and mother, when I was a lad of about ten years, and I well remember with what great respect he spoke of his father and mother." He d.

June 23, 1723, a precinct was erected, extending three miles into Worcester, three into Oxford, three into Leicester, and one mile and a half into Sutton, measured from the place designated for the new meeting house, along the roads then traveled. This district, which was denominated the South Parish of Wor- cester, was incorporated April 10, 1778, as the town of Ward, receiving its name from Artemus Ward, Esq., a brave general of the Revolution, member of the council of the Provincial Congress, judge of the County Courts, and representative in Congress. About thirty families were thus separated from Worcester. The boundaries of the parish and new town were nearly, thoiigh not precisely, coinci- dent. The act provided that certain individuals included by the latter, but not within the limits of the former, might retain their relations to the towns of their original settlement, until it was' their pleasure to express in writing, intention to unite with the new corporation. Ten persons by this exception were permitted to continue their former connections, and among this number was Jonathan Fiske. He d. in Worcester and was buried there Jan. 8, 1781; res.

Daniel Fisk aged 69 he died Thanksgiving Day the 28th; going to public worship he was seized with a pain in his stomach, he had strength to return, and leave his body in his own house. "I think, however, this which has been recorded leaves no doubt but that he was a member of the church, as it has not been customary to baptize children of those outside the church. Neither would there be any likelihood of the records of his wife's death, nor of his own." In 1790, Daniel Fisk of Wendell conveyed land in Wendell. In 1792, Daniel Fisk of New Salem had land in Wendell conveyed to him. In 1793, Daniel Fisk of Deerfield conveyed land in Deerfield. In 1794, Daniel Fisk 3d of Wendell had land in Wendell conveyed to him. In 1798, Daniel of Wendell conveyed land in Wendell. These are the earliest records on the Franklin County Registry of Deeds.

Asa Fisk emigrated to Wales from Hampton, Conn., thereafter abode and died there; when first he came or soon after he acquired the ownership of the premises constituting and connecting with the "Oliver Wales Tavern Stand." There he dwelt, and for some time kept an inn or house of public entertainment. Subsequently he disposed of that estate and purchased a large tract of land in the southern part of the town, upon which he established and through after life maintained his family home. That tract was upon the elevated ground or high land situated a little distance oil the direct road to Stafford in our approachment of Stafford line. That elevation received from him the significant name of Fisk Hill. His old premises, or rather the cen- tral and main part thereof, are now owned by Moses Davis, and dwelt upon by him, and derive from him their modern name of Davis Place. He possessed much strength and penetration of mind, solidity of judgment and inflexibleness of purpose mixed up with some of the spirit of domination and arbitrariness. As an agriculturist he was judicious, skillful, thoroughgoing. As a townsman, he was prominent, conspicuous, influential. As a military officer, he was manly and commanding in his mien, well informed in tactics, resolute and efficient in dis- cipline. One occurrence in his life opened a doorway through which to question his patriotism: In the time of "Shay's war" he took sides with the party opposed to the government and was appointed a captaincy in the opposing and rebelling forces, but as he had enough of that "better part of valor," discretion, to restrain him from the commission of any overt act of rebellion, he finally got out of the scrape without being overwhelmed or greatly damaged thereby. All things con- sidered, Capt. Fisk must be set down as a very good man for this town. Let us not be found undervaluing his virtue, says the Wales historian: "Elizabeth, Fidelity is compelling us to say her virtues were many and must be unforgot." Another correspondent says: He kept a country store on the hill where he lived, and that he owned in his farm 400 acres, and that Shay's war cost him considerable property. Also that he sent two sons, aged 14 and 16, to the Revolu- tionary war. My grandfather Elisha was one. Both were drummers. The com- pany that they were in arrived at Cornwallis surrender one hour after the sur- render. He was lieutenant in the company of minute men which marched to the Lexington alarm, and was afterward and for some time captain in the Continental army. His gravestone is as follows: Capt Asa Fisk died 9 Feby 1812 AE 78 FISKE GENEALOGY. 149 Close by is a stone which reads thus: Mrs. Elizabeth Relict of Capt Asa Fisk died 3 Nov 1818 AE 86 He d.

Nov. 11, 1720, dau. of Dea. Benj.; d. July 26, 1758; m. 2d, Feb. 19. 1760, Jemima Shaw, of Sturbridge. He was born in Watertown, and with his brother, Lieut. Henry, became an early resident and one of the first proprietors of Sturbridge; was elected deacon of the church and held many town offices, selectman, assessor, etc. His will is dated Mar. 14, 177?, and is on record in the Worcester Probate office (see Bar- bour Hist. Collections of Massachusetts). Henry and Daniel Fisk went from Watertown, Mass., to New Medfield, later called Sturbridge, Mass., and commenced a settlement on what is now called Fisk- hill, in the year 1731. While clearing in the timber one day they heard some one chopping on the other side of the Quinnebog river. They did not know of any white man being near them, so they went to the bank of the river and shouted until a man replied and came to the opposite bank and said his name was Hyde. Daniel Fisk proposed to make a bridge so they could cross over and become acquainted, so Fisk and.Hyde felled a tree from each bank of the river and the tops locked together so that persons could cross, for a number of years, and was there- fore of great convenience to the people. When high water came this bridge would stir, or move down the river, therefore when they named the town they named it Sturbridge, after the above described bridge. Two joining towns are called North- bridge and Southbridge. The Fisks also named Fiskhill, Fiskdale and Fiskfac- tories, all of which they once owned and occupied. Daniel Fisk kept a record of Remarkable Events, and in that book, among others, is found: Remarcable Dark Day May 19th 1780 — Baptist Meeting House raised on Fiskhill, Sturbridge, Mass., June 3d, 1784 — Terrible Huricane Aug. 23d 1786 — Shase's Insurection in Mass. 1787 — Very Hard Frost May 17, 1774.

He was born Dec. 12, 1786, in Southbridge, Mass., and died in Ballston Spa., N. Y., July 4, 1857. He was graduated at Brown in 1808, and studied law in Troy, N. Y. Was later admitted to the bar there and at once began the practice of his profession. In the war of 1812 he served as First Lieutenant and achieved distinction by capturing the Canadian forces, being the first prisoners taken on land, and their flag was the first captured in the war. At the close of the war he had attained the rank of Captain, and returned to the practice of the law. He held minor political city offices, was at one time editor of the "Troy Budget." In 1821 he was appointed Adj. Gen. of the State Militia by Gov. Van Buren. In 1823 he was comptroller of the State, and in 1829 he was appointed one of the associate justices of the Su- preme Court of New York. One of' the most important cases before him was the trial of the alleged murderers of William Morgan, of anti-masonic fame. He continued on the bench until 1831, when he was elected to the United States Senate. He resigned in 1833 to become Governor of the State of New York, which office he held for three terms, until 1839. In 1840 he was appointed by President Van Buren one of the commisssioners to decide upon the claims against the govern- ment of Mexico. Upon the election of James K. Polk as Pres- ident, he was appointed Secretary of War, which position he filled with great credit President Pierce selected him as Sec- retary of State. At the close of Pierce's administration he returned to private life, and four months afterward he was found dead one evening in his library with an open volume before him. Mr. Marcy had the reputation of being a shrewd politician and tactician, and probably has never been sur- passed in this respect by any one in New York except Martin Van Buren. He was regarded among his countrymen of all parties as a statesman of the highest order of administrative and diplomatic ability. 1 198. xi. HANNAH, b. Sept. 24, 1765; m.

He was bap- tized in Weston, Mass., with his brother. His father and his mother, • whose maiden name was Eunice Jennings, moved to Willington, Conn., where her brother, Stephen Jennings, had previously located on a large tract of land. Stephen married 'his first wife in Connecticut, and resided in Willington, where he was town clerk for nine years, from 1744 to 1753 inclusive. After her death he married a second wife in Hardwick, Mass., and located in Greenwich, Mass., where he died. He resided in that part now Enfield, and was town clerk from 1758 to 1763. Rev. Lucius R. Paige, of Cambridgeport, Mass., who wrote the History of Hardwick, Mass., writes, "on page 386 of that work it is suggested that Annie Green may have been the widow of John Green, and the mother of two children by him." John Green was the son of Thomas, and was born in Shrewsbury, Mass., Mar. 2, 1726. He m. Anna Bradish Dec. 7, 1751. She was b. June 6, 1729, the dau. of Dea. James and Damaris (Rice) Bradish (see Conant Genealogy, Hist, of ■ Hardwick and Hist, of Shrewsbury). Stephen and his second wife were married in Hardwick, he of Greenwich and she of that town in Worcester County. There is a tradition in the family that Stephen's widow was married to a Mr. Chase, for her second husband. This, I think, is incorrect, for at Warwick, Mass., Jan. 16, 1770, the intention of marriage of Ezra Conant and Anna Fisk (Stephen's widow) was published. She died in Vermont, and lived to be nearly 100 years old- A descendant in writing of her says this: "My grandfather Fisks Mother, died in Claremont N. H. over one hundred years old. Dont know the date, but have heard my Father say so. When she was well along in life, and a widow, she married Mr Chase then a widower, and an old man Father of Bishop Philemon Chase, Dudley Chase, U. S. Senator from Vt. and Ithamar Chase, who was father of Salmon B Chase, the famous member of Lincolns Cabinet." Ezra Conant married for his first wife in Dudley, Mass., Jan. I. 1745, Melicent Newell, b. Dec. 19. 172s, d. July, 1769. He married Mrs. Anna Fisk at Warwick. In FISKE GENEALOGY. 157 1772 Anna Conant, formerly Fisk, guardian of Stephen and James Fisk, sons of Stephen Fisk, late of Greenwich, Mass., in Hampshire County, petitions to sell land of her late husband. (Cheshire Co. Court Records, Ezra Conant, Dec. 7, 1804). The children of Ezra and Anna were: i, Anna, b. May 26, 1771; m. Sept. 13, 1791, Charles Conant, at Warwick, Mass. 2, Clark, b. June 23, 1773, at Warwick, Mass. Anna (Green) (Fisk) Conant, when very old, used to ride from Claremont, N. H., horseback, some 50 or 60 miles, to East Randolph, to visit her son Stephen, and always before going home again used to ride on horseback also three or four miles up to Randolph Centre Village, to see Dudley Chase, who lived there. Dud- ley was uncle to Judge Salmon P. Chase. Another brother of Dudley's was 70 years ago, or more, an Episcopal clergyman, Philemon, having a little wooden church, quite secluded, on the edge of the town of Bethel, some three miles up stream toward West Randolph, from Bethel Village. This Philemon Chase became first Episcopal bishop of Ohio. With him in Ohio lived for awhile his afterward famous nephew, when a boy, Salmon P. The Hampshire, Mass., probate records show that April 7, 1767, Capt Jeremiah Powers was appointed guardian of Rufus Fisk a minor under 14 years, on July 7, 1767, said Powers resigned his trust for the reason that said Rufus was living in the Colony of Connecticut, on the 7th of April 1767 said Powers was ap- pointed guardian of Olive Fisk and Mary Fisk minors over 14 years old, and on the 6 of November 1764 Anna Fisk was appointed guardian of Stephen Fisk. and James Fisk minors under the age of 14 years all said minors are children of Stephen Fisk.

At his death he was buried by the Masonic order.

He was a young man at the battle of Lexington, not quite twenty-three years of age. He assisted his father who was also a doctor and whose name was the same, to dress the wounded soldiers on that day. He studied medicine and surgery with his father, and in later years with Dr. John Warren and his son, Surgeon J. C. Warren. He was led by his patriotic spirit to accept the commission of surgeon's mate in Col. Vose in the First Massachusetts of Foot in 1777. He was made full surgeon Apr. 17, 1779, and served in the Continental army seven years. He was present at the surrender of Burgoyne in 1777 and of Cornwallis in 1781, and of other intermediate battles. Rev. A. B. Muzzey in his "Reminiscences of Men of the Revolution," speaks of him: "He was frequently at my father's house and was very agreeable. I drank in greedily his accounts given to my grandfather, who was with him in the com- pany of Capt. John Parker Apr. 19, I77S, and of his experience as a surgeon in the army. It was a time when all shared in the common privations. Gen. Wash- ington would sit down with his highest officers to a small piece of beef with a few potatoes and some hard bread — a single dish of wood or pewter sufficed for a mess, with a horn spoon and tumbler passed around, and the knife was carried in the pocket. Sugar, tea and coffee were unknown luxuries, and if a ration of rum was given out — this was in the dead of winter — the question would be raised "Shall we drink it or put it in our shoes to keep our feet from freezing?" During the pur- suit of Cornwallis the soldiers had not decent clothing, and an old cloak, they not having a blanket left, was shared with two other officers. Dr. Fiske would cor- roborate in my hearing accounts of the need of medicine and comforts for the wounded — wine, spirits and even the ordinary medicine could not be procured. Even after searching miles nothing of the kind could be found except small por- tions of snake-root, and as for bandages the case was still worse. Nothing of the kind could be found for their supply but to cut up a tent found on the field. He used to relate mirthful stories about the French officers and soldiers around Yorktown. Surgeon Fiske was one of the original founders of the Middlesex Medical Association, afterward and now the Massachusetts Medical Society, one of the original members of the Cincinnati. His son took his place in the society at his death, and after the son's death it reverted to his grandson, who is the eldest. Dr. Fiske was also a member of the Bunker Hill Monument Associa- tion. Dr. Fiske practiced his profession nearly forty years in Lexington after the, close of the war, and was very skillful in his treatment of the small-pox, and he was among the foremost doctors to make use of vaccination, his old friend, Dr. Benj. Waterhouse, bringing it from Europe, from the discoverer, Jenner. Dr. Fiske held many town offices, having been town clerk and justice of the peace manv years. From the Revolutionary War records it is learned that Joseph Fisk was a second lieutenant in the Continental army from June i to Dec. 31, 1776; surgeon's mate June i, 1777; surgeon Apr. 17, 1779, and served as such to the close of the war.

He was probably a farmer, and may have been a physician. He was very well educated for those early days, and by the death of his father, at an early age, was left largely upon his own resources. He visited his brother Cotton on one occa- sion while the latter was residing in Bolton, Canada. The tradition in the family is that after his visit he started for the west with considerable money in his pos- session, and that was the last his Canadian relatives ever heard from him. He married his first wife probably in New Hampshire and his children were brought up by her. While living in Chester, Vt., he married his second wife, and after his death, on Oct. 7, 1816, she was married in Chester, Vt., to Dr. Artemas Robbins by Judge Aaron Leland. He d. before 1816; res.

Was Captain of a volunteer company and went to West Point. He was after- wafds Major General of the first division of the N. H. militia, which office he held for many years. General Butler was the first postmaster of Nottingham; he was a prominent Mason. He filled many offices of trust and honor in the State and was highly esteemed for his usefulness as a citizen and his inte,5rity as a man. His wife was the dau. of Dr. Ebenezer Fisk of Epping and grand dau. of Rev. Ward Cotton of Boston, the first settled ordained minister in Hampton, N. H. Mrs. Cotton's maiden name was Joanna Rand. After Rev. Cotton's decease she married Capt. Jonathan Gilman of Exeter, and after his death she m. Dea. Ezekiel Morrill of Canterbury, and after his death Dea. Joseph Baker of Canterbury, where they res. until his death, when she moved to Nottingham and resided with her grand dau. Isabella Fisk Butler, and after her death she continued to reside with Gen. Butler until her own death Feb. 25, 181 1, aged 93. Rev. Peter Holt of Epping officiated at the funeral. Mrs. Baker, or "Grandmother Baker" as she was called was a lady of remarkable attraction, much personal beauty and ready wit. She never weighed over 100 pounds during her life and it is said never suffered from sickness until at the time of her death. Her talent at enter- taining friends and her readiness at repartee are proverbial. At one time during the last year of her life a remark of surprise was made that she had never used spectacles of any kind, her reply was that she "might need them if she lived to be old enough."

Samuel was soon made First Sergeant and clerk of his company and stationed at Bur- lington, Vt. While there on duty he was ordered with eighteen men under his command, to detect smugglers who were feed- ing the army in Canada, and while in the town of Highgate, near the Canada line they met a company of the enemy's in- fantry from the Dominion escorting owners with, a large lot of cattle. A fight ?nsued in which Sergt. Butler and men were victorious. The British were routed, many cattle taken and driven several miles to a bivouac where the British infantry, re-enforced by cavalry came upon them. The result was the killing of four of Sergt. Butler's men. while he received three mortal wounds and a broken leg; yet he disdained the summons to surrender and with his pistols and sword killed two of the enemy before they could take him. He never surrendered. Though weak and bleeding, the strength of his intellect and the power of his courage so controlled his enemies that, as was afterwards said by one of them. "We were afraid of him after we had him." and another in soeaking of him said. "We all acted like cowards before him." He refused to receive any 166 FISKE GENEALOGY. 1334- 1335- i33t>- 111. 1337- IV. services from the British surgeons and as was said died a few hours after the fight, his intellect all the while being perfectly ctear.

Benjamin Fiske was born in Lexington, Mass., on a farm on the road to Concord, at a point known as "Fiske Hill," where there is now erected a tablet stating that a skir- mish was there had between the British and American forces, and the former repulsed. Wm. B. Fiske has often heard his great-grandmother give an account of her flight to the woods on that day, and upon her return to her dwelling she found an Acton man dead at the doorstep and a red coat dead at the well, each having killed the other. Wm. B. at his house in Plainfield, N. J., has an elegant portrait by Frothingham of his great-grandmother, with a panel at the corner picturing her home and showing the two bodies as stated. He was married to Elizabeth Bridge, daughter of Rev. Wm. Bridge of Chelmsford, Mass. She died, and he again mar- ried Nancy Adams. He moved to Boston in 1808 and was actively engaged in shipping, his sails whitening every sea, until 1848. In the year 1843 he returned to Lexington where he purchased a large farm on Lowell street, where he died. He was elected an alderman in Boston in 1843, and served as representative from 1833 to 1838. He held a commission as justice and was always considered an upright and exemplary citizen. He d.

He was by trade a cooper, but was also engaged in farming. In his younger days, for many years in the winter season, he taught public schools and was thought to excel as a teacher. Subsequently he was riiuch employed in public business, such as settling estates, surveying land, as a justice of the peace and quorum, as a selectman and representative of the town, and in 1835 and 1836 was state senator.

Soon after his first marriage, and shortly before the Revolutionary war, he moved to Vermont and located in 1768 in Danby. He was a Quaker preacher, and like all others of this particular behef, did not believe in war, and was for peace first, last and all the time. When the colonies had determined to be free and independent and throw off the yoke of British oppression, the Quaker exhorter did not lend his aid or even influence, and stoutly maintained that he would not participate in the war for independence. As a result the town of Danby confiscated his entire property, of which he vvas possessed of quite a little for those days. He made the statement to the authorities then and there that he would live to be a wealthy man once more; they could kill him if they saw fit, but the day would come when they would be penniless. He moved to Brandon, followed farming, and died in 1816, having amassed a large amount of property. He was grandfather of Hon. Stephen Arnold Doug- lass. Rev. Nathaniel Fisk was buried on his farm in the family burying ground. The writer had an examination made of the little God's acre, but no monument or headstone marks his last resting place. It was his wiih, it is said, not to have any stone or slab at his grave. He d. in 1807; res. Danby and Brandon, Vt. 1385. i. SEMANTHA, b. ; m. Stephen Smith; res. Sharon, Vt.

That branch of the Douglas family from which the sub- ject of this sketch is a descendant emigrated from Scotland, and settled at New London, in the province of Connecticut, during the earlier period of our colonial settlements. One of the two brothers who first came to America subsequently re- moved from New London, and settled^ in Maryland, on ihe banks of the Potomac, not very distant from the site ot the present city of Washington. His descendants, now very nu- merous, are to be found in Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and other southern states. The other brother remained at New London, and his descendants are scattered over New England, New York, Pennsylvania and the northwestern states. Dr. Stephen A. Douglas was born at Stephentown, in Rensselaer County, New York, and when quite a, youth removed with his parents to Brandon, Rutland County, Vt., where, after his regular course at Middlebury College, he stud- ied medicine, and became distinguished in his profession. His wife was the daughter of an extensive farmer in Brandon, by whom he had two children — the first a daughter, and the sec- ond a son, Stephen A., Jr. On the first of July, 1813, without any -previous illness or physical warning, he died suddenly of a disease of the heart. At the very moment of his attack and of his death, he was playing with the daughter at his knees, and holding his son Stephen A. in his arms. In 1813 the country was at war with Great Britain — ^had undertaken a war with the most powerful nation in the world; at that time the United States, with an unprotected coast, with an overbearing, and insulting, and powerful enemy menacing both seaboard and frontier; with hostile navies swarming upon the lakes, and commanding every sea where the enterprise of American commerce had unfurled a sail, and veteran armies, fresh from Continental fields of renown, landing on our shores — at that time when the infant repubUc, trusting in the justice of her cause, had risked everything to preserve the sacred principle that an American citizen, no matter where he might be, who stood upon an American deck, was to be secured, at all hazards, in all the great rights guaranteed to him by the Constitution of his country — ^while this war was waging, and FISKE GENEALOGY. 171 while the contest between absolute power and popular right was maintained with fire and sword from Detroit to Key West, in the midst of this struggle, on the 23d day of April, 1813, was born Stephen A. Douglas, who forty-one years thereafter became the great champion of that same sacred principle — not, indeed, in behalf of the gallant men who tread the decks of the American fleets, but in behalf of those other and no less gallant heroes — the pioneers of American progress, the founders of American states, the builders of American sov- ereignties — the people of the American territories. The grandmothers, maternal and paternal, of Mr. Doug- las, were of the name of Arnold, and were both descended from William Arnold, who was one of the associates of Roger Williams in founding the colony of Rhode Island, and whose son was appointed governor of that colony by Charles the second, when he granted the famous charter under which the state continued to be governed until even after the establish- ment of the American Union, and until the adoption a few years later of the present constitution of Rhode Island. The descendants of Governor Arnold are at this day very numer- ous in Rhode Island, and, indeed, throughout the whole coun- try. AN EARLY PICTURE OF HON. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. Immediately after the death of Dr. Douglas, his widow, with her two children, removed from their native village to a farm about three miles in the country, where she resided with her bachelor brother, Mr. Fisk, on their patrimonial estate. From his earliest childhood, Stephen was raised to a reg- ular course of life, attending the district school during the winter seasons, and working steadily on the farm the residue of each year. When fifteen years of age, finding that a number of his schoolmates of his own years were about to enter the acad- emy to prepare for college, he applied to his uncle, whom he had always been taught to respect as a father for permission and means to enable him to take the same course. This re- quest was made in pursuance of an understanding which he sup- 172 FISKE GENEALOGY. posed had existed in the family from his earliest recollection, that he was to be educated and sent to college; so strongly was this plan for the future impressed upon his mind, that it had never occurred to him that his uncle's marriage a year pre- vious, and the very recent birth of an heir to- his estate, had in the least changed their respective relations; nor had he seen in these events that cloud which was to darken the hitherto bright visions which had stimulated his youthful ambition. An affectionate remonstrance against the folly of abandoning the farm for the uncertainties of a professional life, accompa- nied by a gentle intimation that he had a family of his own to support, and therefore did not feel able to bear the expense of educating other persons' children, was the response made to the boy's request. Instantly the eyes of young Douglas were opened to his real condition in life. He saw at once that he could not command the means requisite for acquiring a col- legiate education withou.t exhausting the only resources upon v.'hich his mother and sister must rely; he also saw that if he remained on the farm with his uncle untit he became of age, he would then be thrown upon the world without a profession or a trade by which he could sustain them and himself. Real- izing the full force of these considerations, and perceiving for the first time that he must rely upon himself for the future, he determined to leave the farm and at once learn a mechanical trade, that being the most promising and certain reliance for the future. Bidding farewell to his mother and sister, he set off on foot to engage personally in the great combat of life; on that same day he walked fourteen miles, and before night was regularly indentured as an apprentice to a cabinet-maker in Middlebury. He worked at his trade with energy and enthusiasm for about two years, the latter part of the time at a shop in Brandon, and gained great proficiency in the art, dis- playing remarkable mechanical skill; but, in consequence of feeble health, and a frame unable to bear the continued labor of the shop, he was reluctantly compelled to abandon a busi- ness in which all his hopes and pride had been centered, and to which he had become sincerely attached. He had often been heard to say, since he had been distinguished in the councils of the nation, that the happiest days of his life had been spent in the workshop, and, had his health and strength been equal to the task, no consideration on earth could have induced him to have abandoned it, either for professional or political pursuits. He entered the academy of his native town, and com- menced a course of classical studies, to which he devoted himself for about twelve months with all that energy and enthusiasm which were a part of his nature. In the- meantime his sister had married Julius N. Granger, Esq., of Ontario County, New York, and shortly afterward his mother was married to Gehazi Granger, Esq., father of Julius, and at the close of his first year at Brandon Academy, young Douglas, at the earnest solicitation of his mother and stepfather, removed with them to their home near Canan- daigua. New York. He at once became a student at that place — an institution which for more than half a century has been celebrated for its thorough academical course of studies, and for the large number of eminent professional men and statesmen whose names once appeared on her catalogue. In December, 1832, he began the study of law; but, find- ing that his mother would be unable to support him through the long course of legal studies prescribed by the state, he determined upon going to the west, and on the 24th of June, 1833, set out for Cleveland, O., where he was danger- FISKE GENEALOGY. 173 ously ill with fever for four months. He then visited Cin- cinnati, Louisville, St. Louis and Jacksonville, 111., but failed to obtain employment. Finding his money exhausted, he walked to Winchester, where he arrived at night with only thirty-seven and a half cents. Here he secured three days' employment as a clerk to an auctioneer at an administrator's sale, and was paid six dollars. During the sale he made so favorable an impression that he at once obtained a school of about forty pupils, whom he taught for three months. Dur- ing this time he studied law at night, and on Saturdays prac- ticed before justices of the peace. In March, 1834, he removed to Jacksonville, obtained his license, and began the regular practice of law. Two weeks thereafter he addressed a large Democratic meeting in defense of Gen. Jackson's administration. In a short sketch of his early life written in 1838, from which the fore- going facts have been taken, Mr. Douglas thus spoke of this event: "The excitement was intense, and I was rather severe in my remarks upon the opposition. . . . The next week the 'Patriot,' the organ of the opposition, devoted two entire columns to me and my speech, and continued the same course for two or three successive weeks. The necessary consequence was that I immediately became known to every man in the county, and was placed in such a situation as to be supported by one party and opposed by the other. . . . Within one week thereafter I received for collection demands to the amounts of thousands of dollars from persons I had never seen or heard of. . . . How foolish, how impolitic, the indiscriminate abuse of political opponents whose humble condition or insignificance prevents the possibility of injury, and who may be greatly benefited by the notoriety thus acquired! . . Indeed, I sincerely doubt whether I owe most to the kind and efficient support of my friends (and no man similarly situated ever had better and truer friends), or to the violent, reckless, and imprudent opposition of my enemies." During the remainder of the canvass Mr.' Douglas bore a prominent part, and on the assembling of the legis- lature, although not yet twenty-two years of age, he _ was elected attorney-general, an officer who then, in addition to his other duties, rode the metropolitan circuit. _ His opponent was Gen. John J. Hardin. This office he resigned in December, 183S, having been elected to the lower house of the Legislature, of which he was the youngest member. The mental vigor and capacity he, there displayed, in striking contrast with his physical frame, which was then very slight, won for him the title of the "Little Giant," which followed him through life. In 1837 he was appointed register of the land office at Springfield. In 1838 he was the Demo- cratic candidate for Congress; but his opponent was declared elected by a majority of five votes. Over fifty votes cast for Mr. Douglas were rejected by the canvassers because his name was misspelled. In December, 1840, he was appointed secretary of state of Illinois, and in the following February elected a judge of the supreme court. Here his decision of character was shown in the trial of Joseph Smith, the Mor- mon prophet. A mob had taken possession of the court room, intending to lynch the prisoner, and the officers of the court appeared powerless. In this emergency Judge Douglas saw a bystander idly looking on, whose great strength and desperate courage were well known. Above the shouts of the rioters rose the voice of the judge appoint- ing this man a special officer and directing him to select his deputies and clear the court room. In ten minutes order was restored. 174 FISKE GENEALOGY. In 1843 Judge Douglas was elected to Congress by a majority of 400, and he was re-elected in 1844 by 1,900 and again in 1846 by over 3,000; but before the term began he was chosen United States senator, and took his seat in the Senate, March 4, 1847. He was re-elected in 1852 and 1858, and had served fourteen years in that body at the time of "his death. His last senatorial canvass was remarkable from his joint discussions with Abraham Lincoln. Each was con- ceded to be the leader of his party and the fittest exponent of its principles, and the election of one or the other to the Senate was the real issue of the contest, which was for members of the Legislature. Mr. Buchanan's administration was understood to be hostile to Mr. Douglas. The result of the election showed a Republican popular majority of 4,000; but the Democrats returned a majority of eight mem- bers to the Legislature, which secured Senator Douglas' re- election. In 1852, at the Democratic national convention in Baltimore, he was strongly supported for the presidential nomination, receiving a plurality on the thirtieth ballot. In 1856 he was again a candidate at the Democratic national convention in Cincinnati, his friends throughout the con- vention controlling more than enough votes to prevent any nomination under the two-thirds rule. On the sixteenth ballot he received 121 votes; but, as he was opposed to the principle of the two-thirds rule, he at once withdrew in favor of Buchanan, who had received a majority, thus securing his nomination. At the Democratic national convention in Charleston in i860, on the first ballot he received 145^ votes out of 25214 cast. On the twenty-third ballot he received 1525/2 votes, which was not only a large majority of the votes cast, but also a majority of all those entitled to representation. The convention having adjourned to Baltimore, he received on the first ballot 173Y2 out of 190^ votes cast. On the second ballot he received 18154 votes of 194^, and his nomi- nation was then made unanimous. The seceding delegates nominated John C. Breckinridge. Abraham Lincoln was the nominee of the Republican party, and John Bell of the Constitutional Union party. Of the electoral votes only twelve were cast for Douglas, although he received i,375,iS7 of the popular votes distributed through every state in the Union. Mr. Lincoln received 180 electoral votes and 1,866,352 popular votes. From the age of twenty-one till his death, with the exception of about two years, Mr. Douglas' entire life was devoted to the public service, puring his congres- sional career his name was prominently associated with numer- ous important measures, many of which were the oflfspring of his own mind or received its controlling impress. In the House of Representatives he maintained that the title of the United States to the whole of Oregon up to latitude 54 deg. 40 min. N. was "clear and unquestionable." He declared that he "never would, now or hereafter, yield up one inch of Oregon, either to Great Britain or any government" He advo- cated the policy of giving notice to terminate the joint occupa- tion, of establishing a territorial government over Oregon pro- tected by a sufficient military force, and of putting the country at once in a state of preparation, so that if war should result from the assertion of our just rights we might drive "Great Britain and the last vestiges of royal authority from the con- tinent of North America, and make the United States an ocean-bound republic." In advocating the bill refunding the fine imposed on Gen. Jackson by Judge Hall, he said: "I maintain that, in the exercise of the power of proclaiming martial law, Gen. Jackson did not violate the constitution FISKE GENEALOGY. 175 nor assume to himself any authority not fully authorized and legalized by his position, his duty, and the unavoidable neces- sity of the case. . . . His power was commensurate with his duty, and he was authorized to use the means essential to its performance. . . . There are exigencies in the history of nations when necessity becomes the paramount law, to which all other considerations must yield." Gen. Jackson personally thanked Mr. Douglas for this speech, and a copy of it was found among Jackson's papers endorsed by him: "This speech constitutes my defense." Mr. Douglas was among the earliest advocates of the annexation of Texas, and, after the treaty for that object had failed in the Senate, he introduced joint resolutions having practically the same effect. As chairman of the committee on territories in 1846, he re- ported the joint resolution by which Texas was declared to be one of the United States, and he vigorously supported the administration of President Polk in the ensuing war with Mexico. He was for two years chairman of the committee on territories in the House (then its most important com- mittee in view of the slavery question), and became chairman of the same committee in the Senate immediately upon enter- ing that body. This position he held for eleven years, until removed in December, 1858, on account of his opposition to some of the measures of President Buchanan's administra- tion. During this time he reported and carried through the bills organizing the territories of Minnesota, Oregon, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, Kansas and Nebraska, and also those for the admission of the states of Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Minnesota and Oregon. On the question of slavery in the territories he early took the position, which he consistently maintained, that Congress should not interfere, but that the people of each state and territory should be allowed to regulate their domestic insti- tutions to suit themselves. In accordance with this principle he opposed the Wilmot proviso when it passed the House of Representatives in 1847, and afterward in the Senate when it was offered as an amendment to the bill for the organization of the territory of Oregon. Although opposed to the prin- ciples involved in the Missouri compromise, he preferred, as it had been so long acquiesced in, to carry it out in good faith rather than expose the country to renewed sectional agitation; and hence, in August, 1848, he offered an amend- ment to the Oregon bill, extending the Missouri compromise line to the Pacific coast, thus prohibiting slavery in all the territory north of the parallel of 36 deg. 30 min., and by implication tolerating it south of that line. This amendment was adopted by the Senate by a large majority, receiving the support of every southern and several northern senators, but was defeated in the House by nearly a sectional vote. This action of the House of Representatives, which Mr. Douglas regarded as a practical repudiation of the principle of the Missouri compromise, together with the refusal of the Senate to prohibit slavery in all the territories, gave rise to the sectional agitation of 1849-50, which was temporarily quieted by the legislation known as the "compromise measures of 1850," the most famous of which was the fugitive-slave law (see Clay, Henry, vol. i, page 644). Mr. Douglas strongly suppoi'ted these measures, the first four having been originally reported by him from the committee on territories. The two others, including the fugitive-slave law, were added by the committee of thirteen, and the measures were re- ported back to its chairman, Henry Clay. On his return to Chicago, the city council passed resolutions denouncing him 176 FISKE GENEALOGY. as a traitor, and the measures as violations of the law of God and the Constitution; enjoining the city police to dis- regard the laws, and urging the citizens not to obey them. The next evening a large mqeting of citizens was held, at which it was resolved to "defy death, the dungeon and the grave," in resistance to the execution of the law. Mr. Douglas immediately appeared upon the stand, and announced that on the following evening he would speak at the same place in defence of his course. Accordingly, on Oct. 23, he defended the entire series of measures in a speech in which he defined their principles as follows: "These measures are predicted upon the great fundamental principle that every people ought to possess the right of framing and regulating their own in- ternal concerns and domestic institutions in their own way. These things are all confided by the Constitu- tion to each state to decide for itself, and I know of no reason why the same principle should not be extended to the terri- tories." This constituted the celebrated doctrine of "Popular Sovereignty." sometimes called by its opponents "squatter sovereignty" (see Butts, Isaac). At the close of the speech the meeting unanimously resolved to sustain all the com- promise measures, including the fugitive-slave law, and on the following evening the common council repealed their nullifying resolutions by a vote of twelve to one. In Decem- ber, 1853, Mr. Douglas reported his celebrated bill to organize the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, which formed the issues upon which the Democratic and Republican parties became arrayed against each other. The passage of this bill caused intense excitement in the non-slaveholders' states, and Mr. Douglas, as its author was bitterly denounced. He said that he travelled from Washington to Chicago by the light of his own burning effigies. The controversy turned upon the following provision repealing the ^Missouri compromise: "Which, being inconsistent with the principle of non-inter- vention by Congress with slavery in the states and territories, as recognized by the legislation of 1850 (commonly called the compromise measures) is hereby declared inoperative and void; it being the true intent and meaning of this act not to legislate slavery into any territory or state, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States." In the Congressional session of 1857-58 he denounced and opposed the Lecompton constitution on the ground that "it was not the act of the people of Kansas and did not embody their will." Mr. Douglas was remarkably successful in promoting the inteiests of his own state during his Congressional career. In 1848 he introduced the passage of the bill granting to the state of Illinois the alternate sections of land along the line of the Illinois Central railroad, which so largely contributed to developing the resources and restoring the credit of the state. He was one of the earliest and warmest advocates of a railroad to the Pacific. In foreign policy he opposed the treaty with England limiting the territory of Oregon to the forty-ninth parallel. He also opposed the Trist peace treaty with Mexico. He opposed the ratification of the Clayton- Bulwer treaty, chiefly because it pledged the faith of the United States never to annex, colonize, or exercise dominion over any part of Central America. He maintained that the isthmus routes must be kept open as highways to the American possessions on the Pacific; that the time would come when the United States would be compelled to occupy Central America; FISKE GENEALOGY. 177 I and declared that he would never pledge the faith of the republic not do in the future what its interests and safety might require. He also declared himself in favor of the acquisition of Cuba whenever it could be obtained consist- ently with the laws of nations and the honor of the United States. In 1855 he introduced a bill for the relief of the United States Supreme Court, giving circuit court powers to the dis- trict courts, requiring all the district judges in each circuit court to meet once a year as an intermediate court of appeals under the presidence of a justice of the supreme court, and providing for appeals from the district courts to these inter- mediate courts, and thence to the supreme court, in cases in- volving large amounts. In 1857 he declared that the only solution of the Mormon question in Utah was to "repeal the organic act absolutely and unconditionally, blotting out of existence the territorial government, and bringing Utah under the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States." In 1858 and again in i860, he visited the Southern states, and made many speeches. Everywhere he boldly denied the right of secession, and maintained that, while this was a union of sovereign states independent of all local matters, they were bound together in an indissoluble compact by the Constitution, which established a national government inherently possessing all powers essential to its own preservation. During the 'ex- citing session of 1860-61, Mr. Douglas, as a member of the committee of thirteen, and on the floor of the Senate, labored incessantly to avert civil war by any reasonable measures of adjustment, but at the beginning of hostilities he threw the whole weight of his influence in behalf of the Union, and gave Mr. Lincoln's administration an vmfaltering support. In public speeches he denounced secession as crime and mad- ness, and declared that, in the new system of resistance by the sword and bayonet the result of the ballot-box shall pre- vail in this country, "the history of the United States is already written in the history of Mexico." He said that "no one could be a true Democrat without being a patriot." In an address to the Legislature of Illinois, delivered at its unanimous re- quest, he urged the oblivion of all party differences, and ap- pealed to his political friends and opponents to unite in sup- port of the government. In a letter dictated for publication during his last illness, he said that but one course was left for patriotic men, and that was to sustain the government against all assailants. On his deathbed his last coherent words expressed an ardent wish for the preservation of the Union, and his dying message to his sons was to "obey the laws and uphold the Constitution." Mr. Douglas was somewhat below the middle height, but strongly built, and capable of great mental and physical exer- tion. He was a ready and powerful speaker, discarding orna- ment in favor of simplicity and strength. Few equaled him in personal influence over the masses of the people, and none inspired more devoted friendship. While considering it the duty of Corigress to protect the rights of the slave-holding states, he was opposed to slavery itself. His first wife was the only child of a large slave-holder, who, in his last will provided that, if Mrs. Douglas should die without issue, all her slaves should be freed and removed to Liberia at the ex- pense of her estate, saying further that this provision was in accordance with the wishes of Judge Douglas, who would not consent to own a slave. He married April 7, 1847, Martha, daughter of Col. Robert Martin, of Rockingham county, N. C, by whom he had three children, two of whqm, Robert 178 FISKE GENEALOGY.

Robert Williams, U. S. A. The spot on the bank of Lake Michigan in Chicago that Mr. Douglas had reserved for his future home was bought from his widow by the state, and there his remains lie under a magnificent monu- ment begun by private subscriptions and completed by the state of Illinois.

Preston was so much of a Bible student and so de- voted a Christian. She was married in the state of Vermont, where they lived a few years, and then moved to western New York, then a new country. In Feb., 1864, they moved to Mt. Pleasant, Mich., where they lived for nearly a quarter of a century, both passing from life to death in the house in which they moved so long ago, Mr. Preston having died in 1881. They had nine children, of whom three — Mrs. S. Woodworth, Mr. W. W. Preston, and Mrs. I. A. Fancher — are yet living and residents of Mt. Pleasant.

Ephraim, the son, when he enlisted was only sixteen years old, and rather small of his age; but he suc- ceeded in passing muster by tying his hat-band tight around his hat, and putting his hat as high on his head as he could without having it fall off, and standing erect as he could. When he came to the inspector, the latter said "march on," while some of the otTiers were rejected. In the battle of Bennington, he, with three others were ordered by a lieutenant to carry Captain Taylor from the field, who was wounded (his thigh being broken). This was a very dangerous and crit- ical position. It was rising ground, and Captain Taylor fainting every few minutes. The cannon balls would plow furrows as large as those made by a breaking-up plow, yet a kind Providence protected them. He was a private in the N. H.

EBENEZER FISKE (Ephraim, Ebenezer, William, William, William, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Tewksbury, Mass., Jan. 26, 1766; m. Sarah Blanchard, b. Sept. 28, 1769; d. Nov. 11, 1848. Ebenezer Fiske, son of Ephraim, was born at Tewksbury, Mass., Jan. 26, 1766, and lived to FISKE GENEALOGY. 191 an advanced age. He was one of the first settlers at Little Pond, about 1787. He purchased one of the eighty-three acre lots, that belonged to the Rolfe Estate, and commenced at the west end of the lot; made an opening near the road, and put up a shanty, in which he lived about three years. He then built a house. Mr. Fiske possessed a large, muscular frame, which during his long life was sub- jected to severe labors, toils and hardships. When a young man about twenty- one he worked for a while for Joseph Colby, of New London, father of Ex-Gov. Anthony Colby. Going out together in a boat on a pond they were upset and Fiske saved Colby's life by catching him by the hair of his head, when sinking. Soon after this in raising the New London meeting house, both Colby and Fiske were on the frame, when, a board being suddenly moved, Fiske fell and Colby caught him by the hair of his head and saved his life. At another time young Fiske was threshing grain with Thomas Morse of Hopkinton, when Morse in sport struck the end or swingel of Mr. Fisk's flail and drove it into his left eye. He fell, and was thought to be dead, but recovering Dr. Philip Carrigain was seni for, who told him that his eye was spoiled, and said he, "it the eye should run out you would give all Hopkinton to get rid of the pain." Happily the eye did not run out, but the sight of it was completely destroyed for life. Dr. Carrigain charged but two shilings for his service. At the raising of a barn, at what is now Millville, when about 28 years old, Mr. Fiske says, "I fell from the top or plate to the bottom of the cellar; and a stick of timber I was lifting, fell across my breast. My shoulder was broken, and breast so much bruised that it was thought I could not recover; but by skillful means of a doctor, and a good constitution, I recov- ered, but felt the effects for three or four years after." About three years after Mr. Fiske was upset in a wagon on the road at the top of the hill west of Richard Bradley's and received a severe cut in the head, which for a considerable time benumbed his faculties. With no education in early life, he was ever a good cal- culator and manager of his affairs, and a reliable, substantial citizen. Res, Con- cord, N. H. 1499. i. BETSEY, b. Aug. 3, 1798; m.

Jan. 10, 1756; tn. Nov. '23, 1777, Amey Lapham, dau. of Abner; b. Aug. 29, 1762; d. in the summer of 1843. There is a tradition in the family that Squire Fiske served as Colonel of a Rhode Island regiment during the Revolutionary War. The records of soldiers from that state during the struggle for Independence show that he was an Ensign in Richmond's Rhode Island State Regiment from Nov. i, 177s to April, 1776. He was later in life granted a pension for revolutionary service. When his daughter, Abby, died. Squire's wife. Amy, took her four children home and brought them up. She also brought, up, for a while at least, Francis' two children, Ann Elizabeth and William. Squire Fisk's home at Cumberland, Rhode Island, was a brick cottage. This had never been transferred until some ten or fifteen yeads ago (perhaps twenty). Then there were many heirs to sign the deed although the property was not valuable enough to give much to each individual. I am not sure that every living heir did sign the deed, all did that could be found, but enough signed so that Mr. Burlingame, the purchaser, was willing to take the property. This deed is registered in the office of the town clerk of Cum- berland. He d. Nov. 30, 1804; res. Cumberland, R. I. 1505. i. SAMUEL BARTLETT, b. Feb. 12, 1780; m. Vianna Estes. 1506. ii. ABBY, b.

Benjamin Wing Hendrick was left motherless very young and his grandmother, Mrs. Amey Fisk, took him to live with her. He began hfe as operator in a cotton mill when a small boy and rose through various grades of the work to the position of overseer and superintendent and afterwards, in company with his brother, Stephen, and alone, he operated mills himself. They had ventures in the South as well as in the New Eng- land states. Benjamin's schooling was very little but he trained himself in higher mathematics when he was older and was something of a mechanic. He patented at least one "loom- rnotion." His experience at the South before the war made him acquainted with the Southern people, and although his politics was republican (and I think he always after Whig times voted the repubhcan ticket) yet he had and would ex- press such regard and admiration for the Southerners during the war time that his political orthodoxy was gravely doubted by many of his relatives. I think he was a rather admirable sort of a man who hadn't much chance in youth and who led a rather commonplace and uneventful life. During the last years of his life he took personal care of his wife. His death was quite sudden. His wife survived only nine days. 3, Olney, b. ; m. ist, Sarah Ann Remington; ch.: a, Harriet; b, Abby; c, Phoebe; d, Sarah; 2d wife a widow Steere Address, Hendrick Olney, postal clerk, Boston to N.

Cumberland, R. I., Aug. 20, 1761; m. Apr. 14, 1784, Abigail Ballou, dau. of Rev. Abner of Cumberland; d. Jan. 3, 1819. He d. in Northboro, Mar. 26, 1837; res., Westboro, Mass. Mr. Ballou was a worthy descendant of a French Huguenot family who were among the early settlers in this country. John Fiske occupied the old homestead farm in Cum- berland until April, 1794, where his three eldest children were born. In April, 1794, it became necessary to sell the old homestead farm in Cumberland in order to effect a settlement of the estate, and John took his share of the proceeds, in Spanish milled dollars, and put them into his saddlebags and started on horse- back into the interior of the country to look for a new home. Providence directed his steps to Westboro, Mass., where he purchased a farm, and immediately removed his family thither. Westboro was 28 miles from Cumberland, and the family connections of his wife felt that she was going to remove almost to the end of the world; in fact, the journey was thought more of at that time than a journey to Oregon or California is now. The family remained on the farm in Westboro seven years, until the year 1801, and here two more children were born. In April, 1801, the farm in Westboro was sold, and another farm in Northborough pur- chased, where the family removed and there remained until the death of John Fiske, in 1837, at the age of 76 years.

Henry Williams, of Leverett, Mass. In 1816 or 1817 he moved with his family, wife and one daughter, to the state of Georgia, settling in Wilks County. In 1819 he returned to the north, settling in Windham County, Vermont. About 1824 he removed to Goshen, Orange County, N. Y., and in 1834 to Coshocton, Ohio, where his wife died. In 1843 he was married to Mrs. Maria Roberts, who lived but two years after. In the fall of 1849 he went to Terre Haute, Ind., where in 1850 he was married to Miss Releafy Blood. He was a farmer and mechanic, a cooper by trade. He was a luling elder in the Presbyterian Church. At the time of the War of ,1812 he was a captain in the Massachusetts militia, and was called out in the service of the state, but was never engaged in battle in the national service. He d.

Aug. 15, 1825; d. unm. in Reno County, Kan- sas, Mar. 28, 1879. He was born in Goshen, N. Y. The fam- ily removed to Coshocton, Ohio, when he was nine years old. His mother died at that place when he was sixteen. In May, 1846, he enlisted for twelve months' service in the Mexican war; was in the Third Ohio Regiment, Company B. This regiment was not in any of the great battles of that war, being much of the time in garrison. At the expiration of his term he returned to Ohio. Soon afterward he went to the southern part of Indi- ana, where he entered land (with his land warrant), but did not settle on it. In 1850 he was called to Princeton, N. J., by the serious illness of his eldest brother, who had just graduated from the college at that place. He remained in the east two years, then returned to Indiana, and soon after engaged in the marble business at Hutsonville, 111. In the fall of 1854 he closed his business at that place, sold his land in Indiana, and went to Minnesota, then a new territory. He took up a claim on government land, as yet unsurveyed, and yet only sixteen miles from the site of the present city of Minneapolis. He obtained this land under the pre-emption law, and it was his home for twenty-one years. In the fall of 1861 he visited his brother at Greencastle, Ind., and there enlisted in Company H, Forty-third Indiana Volunteers. With this regiment he was in numerous battles, among which were New Madrid, Ruddles Point, Helena and Marks' Mill. Near the close of his three years' term he was examined by a military board and recom- mended for a captain's commission, to command colored FISKE GENEALOGY. 203 troops. The commission was issued, but before it reached the regiment his brigade was sent in charge of a wagon train from Camden to Pine Bluff, Ark. On the way, at Marks' Mill, they were attacked by a strong force of rebels, and after one of the most fiercely contested battles of the war, though not on a large scale, the lines were broken up and they were captured man by man. Fisk, who was a sergeant, was in command of the company through this action, there being no commissioned officer with it. He with the rest was taken to Tyler, Tex., and imprisoned in a stockade. The treatment was not so severe as at Libby or Andersonville, but it was bad enough. The whole long summer was spent in this wretched place, from April till late in September. Near the end of the latter month he with three others escaped, and after a journey of forty-eight days, traveling at night aild hiding during the day much of the time, suffering from exposure to the weather with only a single suit of clothing, and that worn to rags before they started, and from hunger almost to the point of starvation, they finally reached the Union lines at Little Rock, Ark. As it was then considerably beyond the expiration of his term of enlistment, he received his discharge, and did not accept the commission tendered him, but returned to his home in Minnesota. Dur- ing his absence in the army the Indian war occurred in Minne- sota, and when he got to his place he found nothing left but his land, not a trace of a building (except ashes) and not a rail of a fence. He went to work to restore his improvements. _ In this he succeeded, though it was evident that his constitution was permanently injured by his severe army service and his prison experience. He lived at his Minnesota home until the summer of 1875, at which time he sold out, and after nearly two years spent in travel and prospecting, he settled in Reno County, Kansas, where he again established a home, but his health soon after became impaired and he died on the 28th of March, 1879. He was never married. 1636. V. HARRIETT MARIA, b. Aug. 25, 1823; m. at Coshocton, Ohio, Dec. 24, 1840, Lewis D. Roderic. She d. at Claremont, 111., in Sept., 1872. 1637. vi. HENRY WILLIAMS, b.

She was a pupil and then a teacher at Mount Holyoke Female Sem- inary, and partaking largely of the spirit of Mary Lyon, thor- oughly accepting her views of Christian education, she would probably have been connected permanently with that institu- tion but for the conviction in her own mind that she was called to the missionary field. She embarked at Boston, for the Nes- torian mission. Mar. i, 1843, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Perkins and Mar Yohannan, returning to Persia, and Messrs. D, T. Stoddard and E. E. Bliss and their wives, and Miss C. E. Myers, reached Oroomiah, June 14, of the same year, and after laboring there for fourteen years, was constrained by impaired health to return to the United States in 1858, and died at the house of her brother in Shelburne, July 26, 1864. One who had known Miss Fiske long and well, says of her character and influence: "That she was generally re- Mass. 1638. 1639. 1640. ni. 1641. IV. 204 FISKE GENEALOGY. garded by those who knew her as a remarkable woman, was not owing to the predominance of any one quality in her char- acter, but to a combination of qualities, intellectual and emo- tional, surpassing anything, as it seems to me, that I have ever seen in any other man or woman. I remember enough of her uncle, Pliny Fiske, the companion of Parsons in commencing the Palestine mission, to beHeve that he owed the stronghold he had upon popular interest to the same cause. Her emo- tional nature was wonderfully sanctified; and each of her pow- ers being well developed, and all nicely adjusted one to another, the whole worked with regularity and ease. Hence that singu- lar accuracy of judgment, that never failing sense of propriety, for which she was distinguished. Hence the apparent absence of fatigue in her protracted conversations and conversational addresses. Hence the habitual control of her sanctified affec- tions, over her intellectual powers, so that she seemed ever ready at the moment, for the call of duty, and especially to meet the claims of perishing souls around her. In the structure and the working of her nature, she was the nearest approach I ever saw to my ideal of the Saviour, as he appeared when on earth. "The amount of her usefulness is as extraordinary as her character. The book entitled 'Woman and her Saviour in Per- sia,' strikingly sets forth her influence on Nestorian character, and I doubt not it would be the judgment of the mission, that few of their number exerted so great a formative influence on the Nestorian mind, as did this departed sister. Certainly the tid- ings of no death could awaken so many voices of lamentation, , as will the tidings of hers, over the plain of Orooraiah, and in the glens and fastnesses of Koordistan." At the time of her death was engaged in writing "Recollections of Mary Lyon" (Boston, 1866). See the memoir of Miss Fisk, by the Rev. Daniel T. Fiske, D. D., entitled "Faith Working by Love" (1868). 1642. V. LAURA, b. May 20, 1819. 1643. vi. HANNAH, b. 1822; d. Oct 17, 1840. 89s. DEA.

D., of Rutland, Vt., 1825-26, graduated at Middlebury College, Vermont, in 1825, in which State he principally labored in the ministry. He was distinguished for originality of thought rather than depth of research, but also for great zeal and devotion to his Master's service. In this, his efforts were greatly blessed, for many souls, through his instrumentality, were brought to the knowledge of redeeming grace. His dis- courses usually produced a marked impression. Sometimes a Scriptural truth would be presented in such relations that the congregation would be thrilled and set to thinking as for their lives. He began his ministry at about thirty years of age and was successively settled in Monkton 1826-30 and New Haven, Vt., 1830-32 Essex, N.

Lyman Fiske, fifth son of Deacon Moses and Hannah Fiske, was a substantial citizen in Waitesfiefd, Vt., and a deacon of the Congregational Church in that place. He was a cooper by trade and followed farming most of his life. No one acquainted with the religious history of the town of Waitesfield can forget the constant part in it of Deacon Fisk. Almost from the beginning of tljp Congre- gational organization he has been identified with it. Deacon Fisk's very name is' both an honored inheritance and an honored legacy. On the 8th of Nov., 1801, his father became a member of the church, and soon after was made deacon, a position which he held honorably for more than forty years. Lyman professed his Christian faith in his sixteenth year, and a few years before his father's death, which occurred in 1847, was also elected deacon, serving forty years. The family connection with this sacred office is perpetuated in his nephew. Deacon E. A. Fisk. He d. Dec. 14, 1884; res. Waitesfield, Vt. 1679. iv. PERRIN BATCHELOR, b. July 3, 1837; m. Harriett L.

He then returned to Waitesfield and purchased a small farm, and for a time followed his trade in con- nection with it. In after years by various additions to the original purchase he became the owner of an excellent farm which fully occupied his time. He was a man of good business ability, and unblemished Christian character. His early opportunities for education were limited, but he kept himself well abreast with the times by thorough and systematic reading. For over fifty years he was a faith- ful member of Waitesfield (Congregational Church, and was ever ready to give of his time, money or influence for its support, and, what is far better, his daily life was such that none could speak a word to his reproach.

Jonathan, eldest son of Judge Jona- than Fiske, started from Williamstown, Vt., for New York City, where he sup- ported himself for some years by teaching school, meantime devoting himself to a thorough study of the mystery of law. A good classical scholar, he had among his more distinguished pupils Theodosia, only daughter and child of Aaron Burr. After being admitted to the bar, Mr. Fiske established himself in a very successful practice of law at Newburgh, N. Y., until he was chosen a representative of Congress during the first term of President Madison's administration, by whom he was subsequently appointed to the office of the United States attorney for the southern district of New York. From the pecuniary emolument of his extensive practice, while in this position, he speedily acquired a handsome property. Jonathan Fiske was a man of fine figure, tall, well proportioned, of courtly manners and elegant address. He was married to a descendant of the Livingston family of New York and had four children, Mary, the latter, a very lovely child. Theodore was a man of bright talents, educated at Columbia College, New York City, and settled in the practice of law with his father at Newburgh. Jonathan Fiske died in 1823, and his children, none of whom ever married, followed him some years later. The family has now become extinct. He d. 1823; res. Newburgh, N. Y. 1691. i.

Samuel Lolly Fiske, youngest son of Judge Jonathan Fiske, was appointed register of probate by his father at the age of 16 years, which position he retained until his father retired from public life. In the spring of 1820 he removed with his aged parents to Berlin, Vt., and settled on a farm, ministering to their necessities until their death. In 1827 Mr. Fiske returned to Williamstown and resided there sev- eral years, filling in a measure his father's place in that community. In 1840, sensi- ble of the importance of giving his children better educational facilities than were within reach at that point, he removed to Malone, N. Y., and placed them in the Franklin Academy, where his oldest son, Pliny, a promising student, was fitted to enter Burlington College the very year he died, and his two daughters were also qualified to become successful teachers, which they afterwards did for some years. Mr. Fiske was elected deacon of the Congregational Church in Wil- liamstown in 1832, and upon his removal to Malone, he was re-elected to that po- sitution in 1844. Deacon Fiske was never a seeker for political emolument or distinc- tion, but nevertheless has on various occasions been honored by the free prefer- ence of his townsmen for local or county offices. A man of the strictest integrity and sound judgment of benevolent Christian aims, he sought rather to do the work of a faithful servant of Christ than to win applause of men. The worthy scion of the Puritan stock, he lived a busy, useful life, and left to his surviving children a spotless name and example. Res. Berlin and Williamstown, Vt. 1739- i- SAMUEL GEORGE PLINY, b.

Amherst, N. H., Apr. 2, 1776; m. May, 1799, Melinda Blake, b. 1784; d. 1868. Ezra Fiske, first son and second child of Hon. Wm. and Eunice Nourse Fiske, was born at Amherst, N. H. His father was a farmer and shoemaker. The sterility of the land, the poverty following the Revolution, and his father's having a large family of chil- dren, compelled him to assist in the support of the family. He worked on the farm in summer, on the shoe bench in winter, and received but a very limited education, being but a few months in the public schools of that day. He, however, gained much knowledge from reading by the light of pine knots during winter evenings. After he arrived at the age of twenty-one, he attended the Amherst Academy for over a year, taught school, and in May, 1799, moved to Maine and bought land in Fayette. He soon after married Melenda Blake, daughter of Rob- ert and Martha Dudley Blake, who were natives of New Ipswich, N. H. He settled on his land, where he and his wife enjoyed a married life of over sixty-seven years, she dying at the age of eighty-four. He survived her two years and died at the age of ninety-four years and six months. There were born unto them sixteen children, twelve of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. Robert Blake was a Revolutionary soldier, and Martha Dudley, a descendant of the Dudley family of England, both being descendants of early New England colonists. Me- lenda Blake inherited the resolute and sterling qualities of her parents, and much of Ezra Fiske's success in life must be accredited to her as- sistance. Ezra Fiske in early life evinced mechanical ingenuity, and at sixteen, with but few tools to work with, made a violin without assistance. In after life he invented a number of useful machines, among which was the machine which first successfully molded brick. He made the models and many of the drafts of his inventions for the patent ofBce. He entered the militia in the town of Fayette as drummer, and became successively Clerk and Lieutenant of the company, and served as Adjutant during two colonelcies. He taught in the public schools for twenty-one years and served on the board of school examiners for twenty-three years. He revised Fiske-Murray's "Grammar for Advanced Students," producing a work for the primary grades. He served for twenty-two years on the Board of Selectmen of his town. He served as Justice of the Peace successively for thirty-five years. He represented his town in the Massachusetts Legislature in 1812-13, and the Maine Legislature in 1829-31, and was also a member of the Con- stitutional Convention which formed the constitution of the State of Maine. He was a member of the Massachusetts Legislature when Elbridge Gerry intro- duced the first "Gerrymander Bill," and although of the same politics as Mr. Gerry, bitterly opposed the bill as not only outraging the rights of the people, but as being impolitic. He held political office over forty-five years. In politics, his admiration for the views held by Washington and Hamilton, and his fears of the French red republican influence over Jefferson, made him a stanch follower of the former and their successors. He afterwards became a Whig, and died a Repub- lican. In his religious views he was reared a Congregationalist, the views of which church he early embraced; but afterwards became a Baptist, and lived an honored member of that denomination for sixty-seven years. In both his politics and re- ligion he differed from the other members of his father's family. He was a mem- ber of the Masonic order for sixty-seven years, and at his death was the oldest Mason in the State of Maine. His funeral was conducted by the Masonic order. Although commencing with but limited education, by self-instruction, he suc- ceeded in acquiring a great fund of general information. The children of Ezra an^ Melinda Fiske inherited excellent constitutions and fine natural abilities, improved in some instances by a knowledge of books and familiar intercourse with the world. The sons were active, stirring and enter- prising men, and the daughters comely and well favored personally. Francis Nourse, the eldest, was a substantial and respectable farmer in his native town. 12 FISKE GENEALOGY. 1743- 1744- I74.S. 111. 1746- IV. 1747- V. 1748. vi. 1749- Vll. 1750. Vlll. I7SI. IX. Allen was for many years a member of the Kennebec bar and also served as Justice of the Peace. Franklin, perhaps the best educated of the family, was a success- ful teacher in several of the States, traveled extensively and possessed good literary abilities. When the Rebellion broke out, the family of Ezra Fiske partook of the military spirit which swept through the North. Frankhn early enlisted and became a Captain in one of the famous Illinois cavalry regiments. His brother Allen served as a Lieutenant in the Maine Twelfth Volunteers. Their nephews, Allen, William and Philip, sons of Francis Nourse, enlisted respectively in the Maine Seventh, and Twelfth, and Fifth Connecticut regiments, and did good service under the old flag.

Sept. 4, 1802, Margaret Cleave Dodge, of Amherst, b. Oct. 12, 1780, d. Apr. 6, 1867. The eight children of Bartholomew Dodge, Sr., born in Wenham, FISKE GENEALOGY. 213 were among the earliest emigrants to Amherst, N. H. As thiee of them inter- married with the family of Hon. William Fiske, doubtless a number of the latter's descendants are equally interested in what relates to the Dodge ancestry. Of Mr. Dodge's parentage and family, the date of his birth and marriage, no account has been furnished us. He was descended from Richard Dodge, of Salem, Mass., who emigrated from England in 1638. According to Savage, he is the progenitor of all the name in New England. He had, by wife Edith, John, Mary, Richard, Samuel, Edward and Joseph. They, and their descendants, appear to have partici- pated largely in public affairs in Wenham and adjacent towns. Eighteen of this name have graduated at New England colleges since A. D. 1700. In Wenham, according to the records, several of this family married Fiskes. William Fiske, of Concord, was the third child and second son of Hon. Wil- liam and Eunice Fiske. In features and in stature he resembled his father, but his disposition and character was more like his mother's. Like his brothers ,he grew up amid the labors of his father's family, until he was 21 years of age. Then, after visiting Maine and looking about him, for two or three years, at the age of 24 he married Margaret C. Dodge, of Amherst, and settled at Concord, N. H. They became members of the Congregational Church in Concord at an early date, of 24 he married Margaret C. Dodge, of Amherst, and settled at Concord, N. H. They became members of the Congregational church in Concord at an early date. They first located themselves at Concord, "West Parish," where he erected several buildings, a public dwelling and store, and resided there several years. But, in 1832, he bought a lot and built him a house in the village of Concord. He died there, aged 76 years. His wife was the daughter of Bartholomew Dodge, of Amherst. He d. Oct. 9, 1854; res.

Bradley, Esq., of Milwaukee, Wis. Mary A, Walker, the eldest daughter, lived with her parents. Mrs. M. C. Walker was married Oct. 21, 1836, to William Jennison. Charles T. Bradley was the sev- enth of a family of nine children, born in Haverhill, Mass. His father, Enoch B., was the son of Joseph Bradley, of Haverhill. His mother was a daughter of Dr. Samuel Hildreth, of Methuen, in that State. The Bradleys were among the first settlers in New England, but it is not known that the original families were all closely related. Mr. Joseph Bradley, above referred to, was quite probably a descendant of Daniel Brad- ' ley, who was a passenger by the ship "Elizabeth," 1635, who was killed by the Indians at Haverhill, 1689, and whose family for several generations experienced great sufferings at the hands of the savages. He had several children, and among them Daniel, Abraham, Joseph and Isaac — the latter was car- ried into captivity, 1695. Daniel, with his wife and younger children, and Joseph, with their sisters, Martha and Sarah, were massacred in 1697. In 1704 thegarrison house of a grand- son, Joseph, son of Joseph, was surprised, burned down, and his wife (in delicate circumstances) taken a second time pris- oner, and carried to Canada, where she was sold into bond- age until redeemed the following year. In 1746, Jonathan and Samuel Bradley, sons of Abraham above, were massacred with others in New Hampshire, by the same relentless foe. Such were the perils and such the sufferings encountered by our fathers, in early days. Joseph Bradley, of Haverly, was the ancestor of Hon. John Bradley, of Concord, N, H,; also of Deacon Amos Bradley, of Dracut, Mass., and of Enoch Bradley, Esq.. of Haverhill. 1760. ii. WILLIAM PORTER, b. Dec. 29, 180S; m. Sophia W. Parker, and Sarah A.

May I, 1813, Mary (Walker) Emery, d. Mar., 1847. Hon. Francis N. Fiske was the third son and fourth child of Hon. William and Eunice Fiske. Remained with his father until 1802, when he went to Maine; taught school there most of time until 1809, when he returned to New Hamp- shire. In 1810 he located himself in trade at Concord, and continued in that busi- ness up to 1853. In March, 1819, he was elected town clerk of Concord, and was ■elected to the same office fourteen consecutive years. In 1825, and also in 1826, he was elected representative to the general court. In 1827-29-30 he was elected Coun- selor for the district of Rockingham. He was chosen president of the Merrimack county bank in January, 1847, and continued the same for thirteen consecutive years. He was also president of the New Hampshire savings bank in Concord, for several years. He was married by the Rev. Dr. Asa McFarland, of Concord, to Mrs. Mary Emery, daughter of Judge Timothy Walker, of Concord. They both united with the First Congregational Church, Concord, in 1831. As a son and brother, as a husband, father and citizen and in all the relations of life, if Francis Nourse Fiske were not absolutely blameless, none were more nearly so. Besides a good common school education he obtained at the academy of Amherst, a fair introduction to the higher English branches. Mrs. Mary Emery was the daughter of Judge Timothy Walker, of Concord, N. H. Judge Walker of Concord, was descended from Deacon Samuel Walker, of Woburn, Mass., whose eldest son, Timothy, born 1705, was a graduate of Harvard College, 1725, and ordained the first pastor of the Congregational Church in Concord, in 1730, and died there in 1782, in the S2d year of his ministry. He married Safah Burbeen, of Woburn, and had five children. His only son. Judge Timothy Walker, born in 1737, was for many years among the most prominent of the early public men in New Hampshire. He was a colonel and paymaster in the army of the Revolution, a member of both houses of Common Pleas, and, in 1798, the Republican candidate for Governor, against John Taylor Gilman, a distinguished federalist. He mar- ried Esther, daughter of Rev. Joseph Burbeen, of Woburn, and of their fourteen children, the thirteenth was Mary,born in 1786, who was married to Hon. Francis N. Fiske, as above. The family and descendants of Rev. Timothy Walker have been largely identified with the growth and prosperity of Concord, and in the voluminous historical work of Rev.

The Perry family is of English stock, and their ancestors were among the earliest emigrants who settled in tlie Old Colony. Nathan Perry, the father of Dr. William, of Exeter, was born in Attleboro, Mass. In early life he removed and settled in Nor- ton, of that State, where he married Phebe Braman, and lived and died a respectable farmer.

She was a lady of rare beauty and accomplishments, well fitted to adorn any station in life, was for some years eminently successful as a teacher of young women in the higher educational branches of study, and though called to an early grave, she left behind her a sweet memory that was cherished by a wide circle of admirers and friends. Nathaniel Chapman was one of a fam- ily of four sons and one daughter, children of Phineas Chapman, Esq., who was the son of Deacon Caleb, who was the son of Deacon Nathaniel, who was the youngest son of Hon. Robert Chapman, one of the original settlers of Saybrook, and who, besides filling other im- portant offices in the gift of his townsmen, represented that town for thirty consecutive years in the Connecticut Legislature, viz., from 1654 to 1684, num- bering during that period over fifty separate sessions. His son. Deacon Nathaniel, of the Saybrook (Cong.) Church, represented the same town in twenty-four sessions of that body, from 1697 to 1723. His son, Caleb, succeeded him in the inheritance' of the ancient Chapman homestead, and also as deacon of the Saybrook Church. Allen Fiske m. 2d, Sept., 1835, Mrs. Maria Stokes, b. 1796, in Montrose, Scotland, d. Oct., 1863. Allen, fourth son of Hon. William and Eunice (Nourse) Fiske, was born in Amherst, N. H. Delicate in his youth the plans of his life were left undecided until he was nineteen years of age, when he began his preparation for college, and soon after entering Dartmouth, at Hanover, N. H., he graduated in the summer of 1814. At college he held a very respectable standing, ranking as third in his class, and was honored by election to the Phi Beta Kappa Society, in recognition of his scholarship. Going to New York the following winter, he entered the law office of Hon. Jonathan Fiske in the spring of 1816, where he continued until he was admitted to the bar in 1819. Mr. Fiske was peculiarly well fitted for the office of instructor of youth, and tiring of the law after a brief practice, he betook himself to his favorite role as the principal of grammar schools, designed to prepare young men for college. Called to take charge of such departments in the academies located in Troy, Auburn and Skaneateles. N.

He was the author of several text books widely in use in the schools of New York and New England, notably Murray's English Grammar simplified and adapted to popular use, and Fiske's Elements of Latin Grammar for High Schools. Mr. Fiske, in addition to his rare gifts as teacher, also possessed the pen of a ready writer, and was a frequent and valued contributor to the columns of the eastern press. He was at different times on the editorial staff ofseveral prominent journals of his day, was a leading writer for a number of popular magazines and quarterlies, and for several years conducted a very popular home journal. To the very last years of his life Mr. Fiske retained to a remarkable degree the vigor of his intellectual powers, and when past the age of three-score and ten years, was accustomed to keep up his familiar acquaintance with the classic authors, and even when the physical infirmities of an octogenarian prevented him from engaging longer in the activities of outdoor life, he occupied himself in writing full commentaries on the entire New Testament. At the ripe age of 86 years, in the full possession of his faculties, with an unclouded trust and holy peace and saintly resignation, Allen Fiske, after a brief illness, on Sept. i8th, 1875, fell asleep in Jesus, and was gathered unto his fathers, "having the testimony of a good conscience, in the communion of the Holy Catholic Church, in the confidence of a certain faith, in the comfort of a reason- able, religious and holy hope, and in perfect charity with the world!" His remains were taken to Auburn, N. Y., for interment. Allen Fiske was a well read man, not only in English literature, but the classics also, and Homer's Iliad was as famiUar to him as Shakespeare. But the Holy Scriptures were his especial delight. From private papers it appears that before his seventieth year he had read the Bible through by regular course over forty times, and portions of the New Testament rnany more times. During his long career as a teacher he had received from his pupils many valued souvenirs of their regard, but the most touching testimony came at his decease, when about his remains were gathered at the cemeter/ in Auburn, N. Y., where the committal took place, nearly a score of prominent gentlemen, in middle life, who after more than thirty years had elapsed, came from their homes to testify by their presence their profound appreciation of the service he had rendered to them as their early instructor, and to pay this heartfelt homage to his memory.

Early manifesting a remarkable precocity and strength of character, she greatly re- sembled her mother also in personal charms and indomitable energy. At the age of thirteen, during her mother's illness and afterwards, she took charge of the female department of Auburn Academy, of which her father was then principal, and discharged her duties in this position with such dignity and ability as to attract the notice of other educators. At the age of sixteen she was engaged as preceptress of the Aurora (N. Y.) Female Academy, notwithstanding the rule in force of the board of trustees, which prescribed eighteen as the minimum age, and was eminently successful in that capacity. In 1841, when her father took charge of the academy in Skaneateles, N. Y., she again became his assistant, as head of the female de- partment and filed the position with entire satisfaction. Subset quently, on the removal of the family to Troy, N. Y., she en- tered (1844-s) Mrs. Willard's Seminary, to perfect herself in music, painting, French, and higher mathematics, and graduat- ing with credit eighteen months later, she became a teacher m that famous institution. In 1849, after a brief visit with friends in New York City, she went to Chicago, and estab- lished the Chicago Female Seminary, the pioneer of all such institutions in the great West, and for several years she con- • ducted that school with signal popularitj', having in the various departments instructors of the highest ability, and at one time a scholar-roll of over one hundred pupils. In 1854 she was united in marriage to Dr. J, Asa Kennicott, a leading dentist of FISKE GENEALOGY. 217 the city, and well known in scientific circles, ami for fifteen years retired to domestic life. In 1869, with the view of giving her three daughters the best educational advantages, she es- tablished in her own beautiful home at Kenwood, Chicago, a girl's school which soon became widely known as the Ken- wood Female Seminary, with the patronage of the best Chicago families, and a large roll of pupils drawn from all quarters of the west and south. While in the full tide of prosperity, she was compelled, on account of ill health, to transfer the manage- ment of the school to other hands, and in 1878 she engaged to chaperon a good-sized class abroad, and with this charge spent a year in Europe, visiting the various places of interest, but more especially the art galleries and salons, where her class received instruction in art, music and modern languages. On her return from Europe she decided not to resume charge of the seminary, but opened a studio, in connection with her eldest daughter. Miss Maud Kennicott, who was a member of the class that went abroad, and gave instruction in the higher grades of art, with special favor and success. Mrs. Kennicott's work in crayon, pastel and oil has been catalogued and ex- hibited in the art galleries of the leading expositions of the country, especially those of Chicago, New York and New Or- leans, and has been honored with distinguished commendation and patronage. Her productions in fruit work have not been excelled by any artist in this country or Europe, and are simply exquisite. And the same might be said of much of her other work, especially her canvas representations of the various specimens of the American flora, which have been much ad- mired. Indeed, faultless gems from her easel may be found in the homes of the wealthy all through the land, associated with the best work of modern masters. In 1886 her husband. Dr. Kennicott, was stricken with paralysis, and as he became a hopeless and for years almost a helpless invalid, her studies in art from this date were practically ended in her devotion to him. Since his demise in 1893, Mrs. Kennicott has lived a very retired life, passing the evening of her days pleasantly, with her children all near her, solaced by the reflection that her busy life had been at least a very useful one, and repre- sentative of the highest grade of American womanhood. To her were born three daughters, as follows: Isabella Maud, born Dec. 21, 1856; married Dr. T. J. Reid. 2d, Mabel Blanche, born August 16, 1858; married Frederick Grant Gleason. 3d, Ada Mary Walker, born August i, i86o; presides with grace as mistress of the homestead. Inheriting in a lar.q;e degree the talents of their mother, they have by her judicious training acquired accomplishments which fit them for any station in life. Dr. Kennicott is a younger son of Jonathan Kennicott, who was born in Warren, R. I., April 27, 1775, and a grandson of Robert, of that State, who was descended from Dr. Robert Kennicott, of London, a distinguished English Echolar_ and savant, and presumed to be related to Benjamin Kennicott, D. D., regius professor in Oxford University during the last century, and a bishop in the Church of England. In 1832 the family removed to Illinois, before Chicago could boast of a hundred buildings, and when the great Northwest was a com- parative wilderness. Establishing themselves u;jon a large tract of land, in one of the most desirable locations in the State (about twenty miles northwest of Chicago), they early became wealthy and very successful farmers, and .sjained a wide reputation as pioneers in western horticulture. There they built mills, erected a trading post, and founded the village of Mettawa— called (by its English translation) Half Day. There 218 FISKE GENEALOGY. several of them married and settled, and have large families. Three brothers in this family graduated at medical universities, two of them were practicing physicians for several years, and two of them have been prominent as dental surgeons in Chi- cago. Drs. John and William Kennicott recently deceased, stood deservedly high as professional men, and they and others of their relatives are favorably known in scientific circles. 1774. ii MARY FRANCES, b.

David Edward Fiske, second son of DAVID EDWARD FISKB. Journal in the spring of 18 Allen and Eliza Fiske, was born in Troy, N. Y. At an early age he went to live with his uncle, David Fiske, in Amherst, N. H., on whose rugged farm and precipitous hillsides he readily acquired that robust health and con- stitution which served him so well in after years. There also he acquired, in the ex- cellent schools of that town and vicinity, a good English education, and so much knowledge of Latin and Greek as is required to enter college. After teaching a couple of winters, he aban- doned farm life and, return- ing to Troy, N. Y., became connected witli the Family His excellent business talents soon placed the enterprise on a solid basis, and brought the Journal in the front rank of weekly newspapers. Subsequently he undertook the publication of the Troy Traveler. But not finding the publication of newspapers sufficiently remunerative to suit his views, he dissolved his connection with these en- terprises, and, in 1856, removed to Chicago, where he engaged several years in the dairy business, at first on a small, but after- wards on quite a large scale, and in which, by energy, prudence and perseverance, he accumulated in a few years a handsome competence. In 1864 he parted with his dairy interests and for about thirty years has been engaged in the real estate and loaning business, in which with ample means and careful management, he has attained the goal of his early ambition — a recognized position among mean of wealth and influence. Mr. Fiske, while not a man of letters, is nevertheless well versed in current literature, has decided and intelligent con- victions on most subjects, and is not lacking in ability to ex- press his views, by voice or pen, with clearness and force, and when occasion calls can maintain his ground with the best of disputants. As the favorite legatee of his uncle, for whom he was named, and with whom he passed the greater part of his youth, Mr. Fiske has taken great and commendable delight in restoring to a highly productive and a,ttractive condition the old farm and homestead, which has been now in possession of the family for over one hundred and fifty years. William Fiske, Sr., youngest son of Deacon Ebenezer Fiske of Wenham, with Susanna Batchelder, his wife, and their nine children, emigrated from Wenham at an early day, and es- tablished themselves on the eastern slopes of Walnut Hill, in FISKE GENEALOGY. 219 the town of Amherst, N. H., when that portion of the country was still a wilderness. There was founded the Amherst branch of the Wenham Fiskes, whose descendants, wherever located. OLD FISKE HOME, AMHERST, N. H. have fully Sustained the high character of their ancestry, have been noted for their ability, probity and piety, and have filled many official positions of honor and public trust. The hardships of frontier life in a country heavily timbered and rocky, short- ened the days of that sturdy pioneer, William Fisk, Sr., and he died in 1777 in- his fifty-second year, leaving a large family. Stanch and stalwart, ,the elder sons soon cleared up a large tract of land, and established homes for themselves and families. A few years later Jonathan removed to Williamstown. Vt., where he achieved a most honorable record; Ebenezer settled in Mt. Vernon, where he became prominently identified with town afifairs; while William (Jr.) located himself on the old mail route from Amherst to Manchester, on a plateau lying be- tween Walnut and Chestnut Hills. Living for awhile in a plain log house, at the close of the Revolutionary War, he built on this spot a fine mansion, which has ever since been in posses- sion of the family. Here was raised a large family of sons and daughters, whose subsecjuent career reflected great credit on their early training. And here Hon. William Fiske resided until his death (June, 1S31), very greatly respected by his townsmen, being called for twenty-five years to represent them in public life, both in town affairs and state government, legis- lative and judicial. The old homestead, which was willed first to his son David, and subsequently to a grandson of that name, is still in a most excellent state of preservation, and remains a fine specimen of the commodious and hospitable New England homes of the early days. Mr. David E. Fiske, of Chicago, who is the present owner, takes great pleasure in re- visiting his boyhood's home, where he usually spends his sum- mers, superintending improvements, and exercising the tastes of a gentleman farmer. It is his firm purpose to keep the old homestead in the family as long as he can, as the best monu- ment to the sterlintr worth of those who founded the Amherst branch of the Wenham Fiskes. 220 FISKE GENEALOGY. 1777.

Finally he reached the family of his wife at Coldwater, where for many months he fought the battle between life and death, and for most of the time during two years was dangerously ill, and was honorably discharged from service. In 1870 he was elected senator, which duty he faithfully discharged until the time of his death. He was possessed of strong mental qualities, integ- rity of character, was a genial companion.

DAVID FISKE (Samuel, Samuel, Daniel, Samuel, William, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Shelburne, Mass., July 17, 1791; m. Oct. 31, 1814, Laura Severance, b. 179S; d. July 6, 1870. David Fiske was born on the top of one of the beautiful hills of Shelburne, Franklin Co., Mass. He had a good common school education, and married Laura Severance, who was born in the same town. Previous to his marriage he had formed a partnership with two other young men for building and running a saw mill, a grist mill and a cloth factory at the falls of the Deerfield river, then called Salmon Falls, from the abundance of that fish caught there. These falls made a fine water power and the banks on either side were owned by Captain Martin Severance, Laura's father. For nearly twenty years he was the head of these establish- ments, and then chief owner. He built a pretty little house on the river side for his bride. In it were born his eight children, and there three of them* died. There also their golden wedding was celebrated and there his beloved wife died, after 56 years of married life. In 1832 he sold out his manufacturing interests, having caught the western fever, and removed with his family to Ohio, making the long journey from Albany over the Erie canal by packet boat, then con- sidered a rapid and luxurious mode of travel, and by lake to Cleveland, which was then but a pretty group of fourteen houses under the bluflf by the river. There he first bought i8o acres on the blufif on which now stands the whole business part of Cleveland. But, he wanted a farm, and found better soil out at Strongs- ville, 18 miles southwest, and exchanged his purchase of the Cleveland site for twice as many acres, where into whose black soil he could thrust a "sabre's tail clear up to the head;" where into the hollow trunk of a fallen sycamore a man could walk upright with a tall hat on and where the black walnut trees made grand rails for fences. Six rails and posts, and rider high to keep the deer from the crops. He sold his farm on which he had built a fine house, the first between Cleveland and southern Ohio. The raising of that house was an event. He and his wife had seen too much of the baleful effects of rum in New England, it was wholly banished from their house and they determined to raise the heavy black walnut frame without its aid. They notified everybody for twenty miles arofind of this "raising" "without rum." Everybody said that nobody would come and the frame would have to go up on such terms. But everybody came to see and jest at the failure of these temperance cranks. When they came, however, they found a magnificent spread of mother's best cookery and long tables under fine trees and a half a dozen pretty girls to serve them and so knew that no stinginess was at the bottom of it and the boss and carpenters gave them a good report of the way they were treated by the new-comers, and all turned in to the work right merrily and the raising went oS fine and after the jolly feast that crowned it the ringleader of the crowd which came to show them that they could not raise a house without rum, mounted a table and made a speech, saying that it was the best raisin' he had ever heard of, and that Mrs Fiske was the handsomest woman and the best hostess in Ohio. At that the whole crowd thanked her and her husband for having raised their house without rum, so that they were all going home sober and yet jolly, and then the crowd gave a rousing cheer and swung their hats, and the impossible was achieved. Some kmsmen who had settled over in Michigan in Sarnia now, Jackson then, had writ- ten that there they had no fever and that there was a fine farm there for him, so they packed up their goods into covered wagons drawn by horses and cattle, and went across the black swamp, a trip of six weeks. Took the new farm and tound their old enemy had followed them from Ohio so they were after a couple of years shaken out of Michigan and out of the western fever as well, and returned to bhelburne, where he bought a part of the large farm on which he was born. He ultimately exchanged it for a part of the farm on which his wife was born at the l-alls, and finally, it still standing, he bought the identical house he had built for his bride, moved into it and there in 1867 his beloved wife died in the very FISKE GENEALOGY. 225 room where eight of her children had been born. After her death he lived for eight years (part of the time only, the summers) with liis eldest son, Orlando, in Shelburne, or with his brother Samuel, yet spending about two thirds of his time with his son Asa in Rochester and with Mrs. Hart in Philadelphia or New Haven. He fell asleep at 85 in his brother's house in Shelburne, in the fall of 1875, after an hour or two of suffering, with his eldest son at his bedside. He was of a most gentle, genial, kindly nature, a lover of music, of fun, of man and of God, was for many years a deacon in the Congregational Church and respected and hon- ored by all who knew him. In his old age he straightened up after his life of hard work, grew stouter, let his luxuriant silver beard grow full, and was a marvelously fine picture of hearty, alert and serene age. His two eldest daughters married clergymen, and the eldest son, for his first wife, a sister of Fidelia Fiske. Two others of the family attained merited distinction as clergymen and authors. He d.

HoUiston Sept. 3, 1769; m. Lydia Robinson, d. July 11, 1805; she was dau. of John and Susanna of Milford; m. 2d, Mrs. Margaret (Shepherd) Brown, dau. of Capt. Benjamin and Hepzibah (Blake) Shepherd, of Wrentham; she was b. 1779; d. Apr. 30, 1850. Rev. EHsha Fisk was the son of Robert and Mary (Hall) Fisk, and was born in that part of HoUiston now included in West Medway. At a year and a half of age his parents removed to Upton, where he spent his youth, and where he became converted under the ministry of Rev. Elisha Fish, whose name differed from his own but by a single letter. At five years of age he had read the Bible through. He set him- self to gain a liberal education with reference to the ministry and by dint of perse- verance, entered Brown Universitv, and graduated in 1795, an A. M. He was tutor the three years following. While here he was approbated to preach the Gos- pel. He preached the first time in Wrentham on the first Sabbath in May, 1798. It was the first sermon he wrote and the text was Gen. i; i. It proved to be the first of a long series of discourses to that people. Nov. 6 he received a call to settle among them. The prospect' was dark, indeed, but circumstances appeared to make duty very plain. He was the forty-ninth candidate and but the second who had received a call. Imagining the interminable catalogue which might follow if he declined, he determined to break the non-apostolic succession, and accepted the invitation Apr. 25. He was ordained over the first church in Wrentham June 12, 1799. Rev. Dr. Hitchcock of Providence preached the sermon. After occupy- ing the field alone nearly 45 years, he proposed that a colleague should be settled, and Rev. Horace James was inducted into this office Nov. i, 1843. Mr. Fisk still continued to preach almost every Sabbath at home, in surrounding vacant places, or in the pulpits of his brethren. The last Sabbath he spent on earth was employed in preaching the Gospel and breaking the sacramental bread in the church of Attleboro. It was an intensely cold day in December and the fatigue and exposure of riding in an open sleigh some ten miles was more than a human frame of over four score years' standing could endure. A cold and fever was the result, running into a lethargic state, in which the ever busy spirit, having put its weary partner of dust to sleep, softly withdrew. He died in the 82d year of his age, and S2d year of his ministry, and was buried on the day of the regular meeting of the association at his house. It was appointed to be there at his request, and he had anticipated its coming with great satisfaction, not imagining that they should be convened for his funeral. At the time of Mr. Fisk's ordination, the church was reduced to ten members; and "they were divided in their religious opinions, and in many in- stances strongly excited against each other, on account of the dififerent positions, which they had taken in the controversy with his predecessor, Rev. McAvery. Of an observing mind, careful and conciliating in his conversation and manners, interesting and popular in his pulpit performances, he succeeded, as few other men would, in uniting and holding together very discordant materials, not only at the commencement of his mipistry, but through the vicissitudes of more than fifty years. He gained and kept the enviable reputation of peacemaker." (Funer- al Sermon by Rev. Dr. Stoors, Braintree.) As a fact illustrative of Mr. Fisk's rep- utation the celebrated Hannah Adams once said that another question should be added to the well known interrogatories in New England, "Who is the first man," etc., viz.: "Who is the most prudent man? Parson Fisk, of Wrentham." He was blessed with additions to his church. In 1805, 51 were added to the church. In 181S-16, 64 made profession of religion. In 1821, 43 were gathered in. Again, 58 joined in 1832. The whole number of admissions during his sole ministry was Mr. Fisk possessed an iron constitution and great perseverance and was able to labor, even in his advanced age, beyond the ability of many young men. He fre- 228 FISKE GENEALOGY. quently took long walks of five and even ten miles on his exchanges. He traveled much on foot over his extensive parish. He was seldom unable to preach — but two Sabbaths in forty years. He was seldom absent, or even tardy, at associate meet- ings. He attended over 150 ecclesiastical councils; and did a large part of the edit- ing of the "Christian Magazine," during its four years' continuance, and was in all ministerial labors abundant. Rev. Nathaniel Emmons, D. D., pastor of the church in Franklin, preached the sermon at the funeral of his first wife, Lydia, July 13, 1805. The sermon was printed by H. Mann of Dedham, in Aug., 1805.

His studies for the ministry were conducted under the direction of Rev. Elisha Fisk; was installed pastor of the Evangelical Congregational Society in Harvard, Mass., Sept. 12, 1821. He preached the sermon on the one hundredth anniversary of the incorporation of that town. This sermon is deposited with the Congregational Li- brary Association in Boston.

He held many town offices, as well as others; was deacon of the First Congregational Church for forty years. He had but little schooling, and that in the last century. He was brought up on a farm and when 17 years of age con- ducted a farm for a widow lady "on halves." He did not have a pair of boots until 18 years of age; drove turkeys to market, and put up over night when the tur- keys went to roost by the wayside. Eventually he went into the village store; was a merchant some thirty years, and gave it up to his son, David B. Was Cap- tain of the militia through the war of 1812 and 1815, but not called into active service. Was town clerk for many years; selectman, assessor, coroner, justice of the peace, treasurer, agent for procuring pensions for soldiers of the Revolution; first postmaster in Upton in 1818. In after years D. B. and D. E., his sons, were postmasters in the same town; the only case of the kind in the United States. Interested in anything that was of benefit to the town or citizens. He retired from all business in 1836, and died in 1840 in the 70th year of his age. He was born in Holliston, Mass., but resided nearly all his life in Upton, Mass., where he was an honored and respected citizen. At the time of his death Rev. Benjamin Wood, pastor of the Upton Church, officiated at his funeral. The sermon was printed in FISKE GENEALOGY. 229 Boston by Dutton & Wentworth, and from that discourse it is learned that the de- ceased was a constant attendant at pubHc worship; as a husband and father, he was tender and affectionate; as a friend, open, candid, honest and sincere; as a neighbor, kind and obhging.

N. H., Dec. 2r, 1856; service six years ten months, eleven days; resigned Oct. 16 1863. From his journal is copied the following: ''By a kind Heavenly Father's overrulmg providence my lot has been cast in pleasant places and I have had a goodly heritage — been favored with general good health, taken great pleasure in the various kinds of pastoral labor, and especially enjoyed preaching Christ. To Him I owe an immense debt of gratitude for calling me by His grace and spirit and per- mitting me to labor so long in the delightful work of the Christian ministry. As an humble instrument in His service I will not pretend to say what I may have accomplished by my labors; but if any good to the welfare of His kingdom, to Him be all the glory," He published a book called "A New Year Offering."

Samuel Mann, the first minister of the town of Wrentham, mentioned in Barber's Historical Collections of Mass. (Judge Fisk was bofn in Swansea, Mass., and was descended in both lines from mat- nobie class ot men who sought on "the wild New England shore" "freedom to worship God." There has been a tradition in the family that Benjamin Fisk, a brother of the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was governor of the colony of Connecticut, but this has not been substantiated. A strong family likeness has always existed among the Rhode Island Fisks. In early life he resided in Khode Island, but subsequently moved to Guilford, Vermont, a town which adjoined Brattleboro, where his father had some time before purcliased land. By an unfortunate business venture he lost his patrimony, but by industry and frugality he accumulated sufficient for the purchase of new land m the interior of the State. He accordingly settled in Lyn- don, Caledonia county, within 40 miles of the Canada line. In that county he ever after resided, respected and beloved by all who knew him. He received re- peated proofs of the confidence of his leliow citizens, filling various important civil offices. Isaiah Fisk was one of the assistant judges of Caledonia county court, 1807, 1809, 1810, 181 1, 1812. Chief judge of Caleaonia county court, iSib, 1817, 1818, 1819, 1820, 1821, 1822; then the office was more important than it is now, under the revised constitution. He was a presidential elector from Ver- mont in 1817 and a delegate in the convention that nominated James Monroe for President. Isaiah Fisk was a member of the general assembly of Vermont for the following years from Lyndon, Vermont, Caledonia county: 1803, 1804, 1813, 1814, 1815, 1816, 1817, 1818, 1821, 1823. Besides these he filled various local offices involving more care and responsibility than emolument. Twice he was elected to the council of censors, which was then composed of thirteen mem- bers, chosen once in seven years, by a general vote, its province was to revise all the official acts of the Legislature, executive and judiciary departments, dur- ing the past seven years, with power to send for persons, papers and records. It could pass censure, ofder impeachments and recommend the Legislature to re- peal unconstitutional laws. Such a tribunal was a very important one. Judge Fisk remained comparatively poor where many woum have aniassed a tortune. It was his maxim that no man ought to enrich himself on the spoils of the public, a maxim which through life he carried to a romantic extreme. With his wife he early became a member of the church and took an active interest in it. Mrs. Fisk was very assiduous in impressing upon the minds of her children the principles of Christianity. He d.

Fisk was born in Killingly, Conn., where he learned the trade of a blacksmith. Having mastered his trade, he was soon afterward united in marriage to Lydia Aldrich. She came of Welsh descent, and in her veins flowed somewhat a sturdy feeling and marked courage and the unfailing will that her ancestors knew. In the fall of 1822, with his wife and two babies, he left Killingly for Livingston Co., New York. There he was a blacksmith, wagon builder and general mechanic for the country round about. Muscular and willing, equipped with fine physique, he did not shrink from hard toil. His shops became a source of mechanical supplies for FISKE GENEALOGY. 235 farmers all up and down the valley. As a citizen he acquired local repute as a tnan of intelligence, enterprise and character. He was the captain of the militia, and was deferred to as a leading spirit in town affairs. He finally moved to Clinton, Mich., where he died after a short illness. He d. Sept. 28. 1832; res. Killingly, Conn., Greigsville, N. Y., and Clinton, Mich. 1951. 'i. CYRUS B., b. Nov. 29, 1871; m.

His life has not been a very eventful one. Born in 1820 in Connecticut, in 1821 or 1822, his parents moved to the State of New York, Livingston Co., town of York; in 1830 they moved to Michigan (Clinton, Lenawee Co), where in winter times he went to school three months, in summer worked out, sometimes driving from six to ten yoke of cat- tle beforeiwhat was called a breaking-up plow. His father died in 1832, leaving his mother with six boys, the eldest only 14 years old. He went to a trade when he was 15 years old (fanning mill making). He worked at that until he was about 22, at which time he was elected constable and served one year. In 1843 he went into a store, where he worked until 1847, at which time he enlisted in the ist regiment of Michi- gan Volunteers, and went to Mexico, where he remained until the close of the war. He returned to Detroit, got an hon- orable discharge, made his way back to Clinton and went into business. Gold was discovered in California and he got the fever and in 1853 he crossed the plains to California, where he has wandered up and down for nearly forty-three years. He has been in the mines where he did mining and kept a trading post. He has been well off and has been poor. He has had the sciatica and a stroke of paralysis, also had a stroke of footpads two years ago, which came very near killing him. He is drawing a pension for service in the Mexican war. 1953. iii.

I., Mar. 15, 1791; m. at Swansey, July 10, 1835, Anna Robinson, dau. of Gideon, now deceased, and Patience, now wife of Oliver Chase, of Fall River; at the time of his marriage he was of Scituate, R. I., and was married in Swansey .according to the Friends' record. She was b. July s, 1808, and d. Dec. 27, 1889. He was b. in Johnston, R. I., and died in Fall River in his 82d year. He received a liberal education for those days and early studied medicine, but did not practice until late in life. He was a fine penman and very fond of travel and taught penmanship in many places in the United States, largely to see the country. At the time of his marriage in 1835 he purchased a farm in Scituate, R. 1., where he kept a private school, with a few day scholars, but mostly boarders. This school was patronized mostly by Friends and Quakers, who sent their sons there to be fitted for college or for a bet- ter education than could be obtained in the public schools in those days. In 1845 he decided to discontinue his school and practice medicine in Fall River. He was a practicing physician in that city for 25 years, highly esteemed by every one and very successful in his profession. He and his wife continued members of the Society of Friends till death and were noted for a large exercise of the old-fashioned style of genuine hospitality. No relative or friend of the family was ever allowed to go to a hotel when visiting Fall River, and Dr. Fiske's house was a rendezvous for the Abolitionist or escaping slave, and the Boston "Liberator," Garrison's paper, came to him as long as it was published. He left a homestead and quite a little property. He d. June 2, 18/3; res. Fall River, Mass. 1966. i. GEORGE R., b. Jan. 18, 1837; m. Mary A. Anthony. 1967. ii. ANNA ROBINSON, b. Apr. 8, 1844; m.

After the war closed he sold or traded his place and moved back east.

He studied law at the Union College of Law and was graduated with honors in June, 1886, and was at once admitted to the bar and began practice. He is an able and successful advocate and counselor. He is mayor of Lake Forest, where he resides. The Chicago Evening Post in commenting on his recent renom- ination said: Since Mayor Gorton took charge of the affairs of Lake Forest's city government a number of improvements have been made in all parts of the town, and his admin- istration has been so popular with all the residents that he was the first and unanimous choice for renomination at the late caucus. He has been unwilling to take the position, which is purely an honorary one, there being no salary provided for the mayor. Recently he handed his resignation to the city council, but it was torn up by his associates before it reached City Clerk Frazer. 2056. X. EDWARD WILLIAM, b. May 17, 1832; m. Mary H.

In a cemetery near the northeast part of Stafford on a knoll overlooking a reservoir of water, on the old turnpike from Hartford to Boston, close by where Elisha Fisk lived, one stone reads, "In memory of Mrs. Zurviah, the wife of Mr. Elisha Fisk, who died Aug. 30, 1805, in the 4Sth year of her age." On an- other stone is this: "Mr. Elisha Fisk, died Jan. 25, 1816, in the 54th year of his age." On another stone it reads, "Hannah Wheeler, widow of Elisha Fisk, died May 7, 1865, age 93 years." Also on same stone, "Their son Calvin, buried in Sonora, Cal. ; died Jan. 8, 1853, age 45 years. Their daughter, Mrs. Orrel Thomson, buried in Middleburg, Va., died Aug. 8, 1873. Age 63 years." He d.

He was married first, to Sally Hill, who died 1774; next to Mrs. Elizabeth Treat (originally Breck), who died 1786; after this to Mrs. Hannah Reynolds (originally Wells), who survived him. He had six children, five sons and qne daughter. The eldest son died while a member of Harvard College. Of the two other sons who graduated there, Oliver became a physician, and Samuel first studied law and afterwards engaged in mercantile persuits. As a preacher, it is said, he was not distinguished so much for the powers of oratory, as for purity of sentiment and perspicuity and elegance of style. He was modest and unassuming; and few men with his advantages have acquired a greater store of rich and varied knowledge. He was highly esteemed by the people of his charge and by his clerical brethren; as a learned divine, a reputable author, accept- able preacher and devoted to the various duties of his profession.

In 1812 he was chosen cashier and held the office until he resigned, in 1846. Was also treasurer of the Worcester County Institution of Savings from 1828 to 1853, besides this he held various city and state offices. He was a member of the .\merican Antiquarian Society and the N. E. Hist, and Gen. Society.

Joseph Craft, like his brothers, was a smart, active, business man, and was held in high esteem by his townsmen. He was an ardent patriot, and was in active service during a long period of the war of the Revolution. He was present at the battle of Lexington, and was Lieutenant in command of the company of Newton minute men at that time. They re- mained on duty for four days lollowing that battle. Again, in 1776, we learn from the records that by order of the council, he marched as Lieutenant in command .of his company, Dec. 9, 1776, to join Col. Thomas Craft's regiment at Boston, and among the privates in his company was Samuel Craft. Again, in 1778, he was Lieutenant of the company of Capt. Edward Fuller, Col. Thrasher's regiment, de- tailed to guard the British troops, Sept. 2, 1778. Finally, in 1780, he once more went into the field, and marched with his company to reinforce the Continental army. He took an active part in town affairs. On Dec. 18, 1776, he was chosen on a committee to adjust matters relative to "an allowance for soldiers for services done in the war since Apr. 19, 1775, and also to consider in what manner the war shall be supported by the inhabitants in the future." He gave substantial aid in the cause of liberty by loaning i200 to the town, Jan. 6. 1777, for the purpose of paying the soldiers. He was also a selectman in Newton during that year, 1777, and doubtless held many other positions of trust and responsibility, of which we are not informed. With his brother, Samuel, he was a residuary legatee of his father's estate, which was very large. From the town records we learn that he was taxed in Newton, Oct. i, 1798, for seventy-eight acres of land, valued at $2,612. By his first wife he had five children, besides an infant which cost the life of its mother, and did not survive. By his second marriage he had ten children, and none by his third wife. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. He d. in 1785, in Pennsylvania, where he had gone on business. Res. Waltham, Mass. 2223. i. POLLY, b. Aug. 23, 1778; m.

He was an active citizen in the affairs of the town and church and much trusted with the business of both. He married his cousin who died one day after he passed away. Their bodies were buried in one grave. He carried on a large farm and owned other real estate to a large extent. He was a very liberal man and deacon in the Baptist Church, and conducted what was called in those days a "Baptist Hotel." He entertained a great many people free of charge. A short distance from his house and on the top of Fisk Hill was the old fashioned Baptist meeting house with the high back square pews and the sounding board over the pulpit. He d.

He was college educated and a very talented man, none superior or equal to him in the very large Association. He owned and worked on his farm. It is remembered how in the winter season Rev. Leonard and many of the congregation would go to Dea. Fisk's hotel to spend the noon hour in the large old house. Three rooms would be well warmed, one for. men, where apples and cider would be freely passed round and the minister and perhaps one or two or more of the old people invited to the pantry for a lunch. ^Then tobacco and pipes passed round. The minister was quite a smoker, and two of the old deacons took snuff. One of them lived to be 104 years old, and he was summoned as a witness after he was ico years old to the court in Worces- ter in the case of a pauper between two towns when he was one of the selectmen of Sturbridge. Another of the rooms was for the women, where the deacon's wife would furnish some warm drink and apples. The other room was for the children and they had apples. There was no Sunday school in those days, not in that church. The children of Sally and Rev. Zenas L. Leonard were: i, Henry F., b. Aug. 14, 1800; m. Ann F. Burrough; d.

Sally Leonard d. at the residence of her son Manning Leonard, Esq., in the adjoining town of Southbridge, July 18, 1868, aged 86 years 3 months and 12 days. "Mrs. Leonard's extreme age made her an interesting link with the past. She was granddaughter of the two first settlers of Sturbridge — Lieutenant Henry Fiske, and his broth- er. Deacon Daniel Fiske, who pitched their tent in 1731 on what has been known ever since as 'Fiske Hill'." "Her father was Deacon Henry Fiske, son of the first named, who was the sixth of a family of 14 children, and her mother, Sarah, daughter of the last named, and the second of a family of 16 children, and they were married May 5, 1774. . Her father died Dec. 10, 1815,. aged 70, and her mother next day, aged 69, and they were both buried in one grave in the old cemetery in Sturbridge. They had nine children, Mrs. L. being the sixth, and was born in 1782, a year celebrated for the birth of a great number of prominent men in this country, the last of whom — Gov. Levi Lincoln — died May 29, 1868. She was married Sept. 1, 1799, to Rev. Zenas L. Leonard, a native of Bridgewater, who had then been pastor of the Baptist Church on Fiske Hill more than four years, with which church she united. Although she was very yoting when she assumed the responsible duties of a minister's wife, which position, like that of the minister, was no sinecure at that period, yet she developed at once a re- markable capacity for the position. Though not rapid in her movement yet her wonderful tact, perfect system, untiring in- dustry, enabled her to accomplish a vast amount of work. She was free from eccentricity, selfishness and hypocrisy, just what she professed and appeared to be, and every day alike. Their new home was established in sight of her birthplace during the fiist year of this century, and was the center of attraction to her for nearly sixty-eight years. In addition to his pastoral du- ties, her husband was for many years much engaged in in- structing the youth of the neighborhood, having students in his family who were fitted for college and the prominent positions of business life. She sympathized with him, and aided him in all his labors, and was indeed a helpmate. A very interesting sketch of his life was published by Dr. Wm. Sprague, of Al- bany, in his 'Annals of the American Pulpit,' 6th vol., pages 256 FISKE GENEALOGY. 347-354, to which the writer referred for many of the prom- inent events of her Hfe. Suffice it to say, in this delightful home, where was always dispensed a courteous and bounteous hospitality, friend and stranger alike welcomed and needs sup- plied, they reared a family of seven children, three of whom only survived their mother. The father died June 24, 1841, so that she has had a widowhood of more than twenty-seven years. She remained at the homestead where her son Linus Leonard deceased Aug. 12, 1862, until her 86th birthday— the 4th of Apr., 1868, when she made a brief visit to her daughter, jNIrs. Emmons, and then came to her son's in Southbridge, where an accident befel her on the 12th of June, which caused her five weeks of intense sufifering, and with her other maladies ■ and weaknesses of age, resulted in her death. She bore her pains with wonderful patience and resignation, and as charac- teristic of her whole life seemed more interested for others' comfort than her own. Her obsequies were attended at her son's house, Sunday afternoon, July 19, 1868, at three o'clock, and it was pleasant to look upon her calm, and placid features which seemed to have renewed comparative youth, and to feel that she had attained eternal rest. She was buried beside her husband and eldest son in the new cemetery in Sturbridge. "Two sisters survive her, and she left quite a number of de- scendants to the third generation, in whose hearts, and those of numerous relatives and friends who knew her excellencies, her memory is sacredly enshrined. She will be sadly missed, with her cheerful, cordial greeting, tender inquity and constant in- terest, but we could not wish her back to the sufferings and wearinesses of age. She has lived a long and active, useful and somewhat eventful life, and her rest must be sweet and glorious." Southbridge • Journal. Fisk Hill is the most beautiful swell of land in the town, possessing fertility, and commanding an extensive and delight- ful view, in every direction. Here you have to the west, a full view of the village of Sturbridge Centre, one mile, and beyond in the same direction the view of Fiskdale appears to very good advantage; at the north as far as the vision can extend, you catch a view of the azure Monadnock, hardly distinguishable from the surrounding atmosphere; very much nearer, about twenty-seven miles away, the Wachuset appears head and shoulders above her neighbors; nearer still, the town of Lei- cester presents a beautiful appearance twelve miles distant. At the east you have a view of the village of Charlton, on a grace- ful swell of land, presenting a stately, and no less beautiful appearance. Thence southerly, the eye sweeps over an expan- sion of varied and lofty scenery, exhibiting spires, churches, villages, and scattered residences, intermixed with the beauties of nature. Take it all in all, the eye may dwell with a high de- gree of pleasure on a rare assemblage of natural and artificial attractions. Transporting ourselves back to that period, when our Fisk ancestors first commenced a settlement here, we may, in imagination, catch a view of the almost unbroken forest, which was spread out around them. Contrasting that scene with the present, the change has lessened the sublimity of the prospect, but not its beauties. This selection by the original settlers, viz. — Henry and Daniel Fisk — is a manifestation of good taste and sound judgment. The breezes here are somewhat searching, but not too much so for health and a vigorous constitution. First settled by them, the land comprising this very fertile hill, continued in their possession and that of their descendants more than a century before any of it passed into the hands of FISKE GENEALOGY. 237.' others except such persons ris had married into the Fisk fam- ihes. This section of tlie town has probably exceeded every other in point of strength and productiveness of soil. The farms still exhibit a neat appearance, and evidence of skillful nenry MMM Am Jc9hu> Muon newcM [si^ 1 1 1 Cutting 1 OLD MEETING HIason, res. Antigo, Wis. 7, Charlotte, b. Feb. 13, 1843; m.

He was born in Hamp- shire Co., Mass., and while yet in his teens enlisted in the Revolutionary army. His father died when he was but five years of age and ever after took care of himself. While in the array he rose to the rank of Ensign in a Massachusetts company. Shortly after the close of the war with his brother he migrated to Vermont and settled at Randolph, on land he made a farm of. about a mile up the "Branch" (of White river, as the little stream was called, above where 13 now the village of East Randolph. I have been told he cut the first tree cut down in clearing up the town of Randolph. Here several of his older children were born. After a few years he moved down into the village of East Randolph and kept "tavern" (hotel was a name not in use in those days) there. Was ap- pointed and reappointed for many years "Justice of the Peace;" was always after that universally called "Esquire" Fisk by everybody who knew him, tilf 262 FISKE GENEALOGY. 2306. 111. 2307.

Oct. 4, 1763, Greenwich, Mass.; m. there Apr. 27, 1786, Priscilla West, b. Tolland, Conn., Nov. 20. 1763; d. Swanton, Vt., Aug. 19, 1840. She was dau. of Caleb West who res. in Greenwich, Mass. He was born at Greenwich, Mass., Oct. 4, 1763. His father died before the subject of this sketch was old enough to realize the loss. A short time before he was sixteen he joined the Continental army vmder Gen. Washington as a private soldier, and during the remainder of the war cheerfully bore his share of the suf- ferings and hardships of those who fought for freedom. At his discharge from the army he returned to his native town, and, after at- tending a district school the first winter, was employed in teaching school during several subsequent winters and labored by the month the rest of the time until he was married, when he moved onto a piece of forest land which he cleared and re- duced to a state of cultivation by his own labor. He was elected a member of the Assembly of Massachusetts, from Greenwich, when in his 22d year, and continued a member of that body for six or seven years, serving during 1791-92-93-95 and 1896. Soon afterward he began to preach the doctrines of Universalisra. When 35 years of age, in 1797, he removed to Barre in Vermont, and continued in the clerical profession for some time. Later he was elected to the General Assembly in the fall of 1801 which sat at Newbury. Soon after taking his seat in that body, by his talent, energy and integrity, he gained the confidence of his political party and the respect and esteem of his polit- ical opponents. He continued to be annually elected to the Assembly until he was chosen a Representative to Congress in 1805, and continued a member of that body until Mar. 4. 1815. During his career in Congress he was ever found the firm supporter of his country's honor. He was in favor of a resort to arms rather than resort to the haughty dictation of the self styled "Mistress of the Seas." He voted, for the declaration of war in 1812 and supported that measure in the hall of Congress, and among his fellow citizens at home. Many now living well remember with what interest, in 1812 and 1813 in assemblies of the people, they listened to his voice, the voice of a Revolutionary soldier, as he vindicated the measures of the general government, described the insults and indignities which had been heaped upon our government and people by a foreign power, and called upon them to vindicate their rights and fame. He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of Jeflfer- son, Madison and Monroe and their prominent supporters. In June, 1812, he was oflered by President Madison the position of Postmaster General, but declined. FISKE GENEALOGY. 26a In July, 1812, he was appointed Judge of the territory of Indiana by James Madi- son with the advice and consent of the Senate, but declined the office. The stren- uous opposition of his friends to his leaving the State induced him not to accept the appointment. He was possessed of a good mind, sound judgment, and was an excellent reasoner. He was of great integrity, and one of the few who held and was offered positions of trust without seeking them; he was a man of unusual ability. He was both a personal and political friend of President Monroe, and at Montpelier on the morning of July 24, 1817, at eleven o'clock, he had the pleasure of delivering the address of welcome in behalf of the citizens of Montpelier and vicinity to the President on reaching Montpelier on his tour through the New England States. In 1802 he was Assistant Judge and in 1809 Chief Judge of Orange County, Vermont, and in 1815 and 1816 he was appointed one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Vermont. In 1817 he was elected a Senator in Congress, which office he held but one year and resigned. He was afterward Collector of Customs for this district for eight years. He was marked for his decision of character, his strict integrity, his powers of persuasion and his kind, afifable de- portment. He was a selfmade, a selftaught man. He has filled many offices with honor to himself and to his constituents. His last days were tranquil and serene. In describing the speakers at the great war meeting in 1812, Mr. Thompson in his history of Vermont says: "On one side sat the small-sized, keen-eyed, ready-wit- ted and really talented James Fisk of Barre, who was then a member of Congress and who had now come on to act as the champion of the Democrats at this meet- ing." In 1809 the degree of A. iSI. was conferred upon him by Middlebury Col- lege. He enlisted for service in the Revolutionary war in Nov., 1781, in Capt. Wm. Willis' Company in Col. John Brooks' Regiment of the Mass. line. He re- sided in Hardwick and Greenwich, Mass. He applied for a pension July 23, 1832, from Swanton, Vt.. where he was then residing. He was then 68 years of age. His pension was granted and he drew $70.66 per annum (see Coolidge and Mans- field's History of New England, p. 916). He d. Nov. 17, 1844; res. Swanton, Vt.' 2316. i.

He was a -farmer and removed from Needham to Framingha.m and there sold his farm to his son Moses. He was born in Natick and always resided there. Before the stirring events of the Revolution a military company had been formed in Natick, and' officers chosen for any emergency. A muster-roll of this company has fallen into my hands, and I give it to readers now for the first time. It was under the com- mand of Captain James i\Iann, in Colonel Sanuiel Bullard's regiment, and marched' on the alarm of the Battle of Bunker Hill. They were all residents of the town of Natick, and were allowed id. per mile traveled for their services, which amount- FISKE GENEALOGY. 267 2359- 2360, 2361. ii. iii. 2362. iv. 2363.

When the Revolutionary war broke out he enlisted in the company commanded by Capt. Mann in Col. Bullard's regi- ment. About the time of the Revolution he was a Selectman and as such signed the following: "We, the subscribers, do truly and sincerely acknowledge, pro- fess, testify, and declare, that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is and of right ought to be, a free, sovereign, and independent State; and we do swear that we will bear true faith and allegiance to the said Commonwealth, and that we will de- fend the same against traitorous conspiracies and all hostile attempts whatsoever. And that we do renounce, and abjure all allegiance, subjection, and obedience to the King, Queen, or Governor of Great Britain (as the case may be), and every other foreign power whatsoever. And that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate, hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, superiority, pre-eminence, au- thority, dispensing or other power, in any matter, civil, ecclesiastical, or spiritual, within this Commonwealth, except the authority or power which is or may be vested by their constituents in the Congress of the United States. And we do further testify and declare, that no man, or body of men, hath or can have any right to absolve or discharge us from the obligations of this oath, declaration, or affirmation. And that we do make this acknowledgment, profession, testimony, declaration, denial, renunciation and abjuration, heartily and truly, according to the common meaning and acceptation of the foregoing words, without any ecjuivo- cation, mental evasion, or secret reservation whatsoever. So help us God." He held other town offices and at one time was a member of the Legislature. He died intestate and his estate was divided Apr. 28, 1797; Calvin F. received all the real estate and he paid the othe ch., viz. : David, Joseph, John, Mehitable and Betsey. He d.

Hannah Fisk, 4 years old, was shot by her brother, a few years in advance of her in age. John (the name of the brother who committed the act) had been out with a still older brother in hunting excursions, and at this time leveled the gun, which happened to be loaded, at his infant sister, remarking that "he would kill a wild goose." The contents of the gun were lodged in the side of the girl, who fell instantly over the warping bars, in the northeast cham- ber of the house. The stains of the blood on the floor were '-ot many years since plainly to be seen. MEHITABLE, b. May 5, 1775- ELIZABETH, b. Oct. 15, 1776. CALVTN. b. Feb. 25, 1779; m. Patty Pratt. PATTY, b.

Apr. 16, 1732, was a noted descendant from many noted English families, viz.: Fiskes, Lelands and Babcocks; the latter name being among those old, noted and true Pilgrims who sailed from Holland in ship Anne, and came to this country to worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences. Mr. Fiske was a man of great energy of character; faith- ful to the trusts confided to him; an active business man; a large and successful farmer; owner of large tracts of land in this vicinity. He was a man of military attainments and ambitious to serve his country and State in the early wars with the Indians, and it is recorded in his private daily diary of his marching from his native town, May <22, 1758, through many of the western towns of the State to New York, there meeting other regiments and troops from other states. They cap- tured many forts and dispersed enemies, and their raid was a success. Return- ing home he settled on his farm again, where he prospered in his chosen vocation, rearing and educating a large family; and it is said of him that when the sons be- came of age he gave each one of them a farm, except the youngest, Timothy (to him he gave a college education), who graduated at Harvard as M. D. In his diary are found receipts for goodly sums of money given to all his children at their majority. He d. Dec. 23, 1817; res. Holliston, Mass. DAVID, b, Apr. 19, 1763; m. Hannah Eames. JOHN, b.

DfftTfl was borff in Framingham, Mass. His father, Isaac, purchased land in Oxford, opposite Town's Pond, upon which he went to reside. There he was married to his wife, the daughter of the local clergyman. He had studied medicine elsewhere, and was well versed in physics in all its intricate branches. He soon became the leading phj'sician of the town and was also well known in all the country rotmd about. He had many students, for in those early days the prospective physician was obliged to study with a regular prac- titioner. Among his students who later became celebrated were Drs. Holbrook, of Thompson, Conn., and Dr. Bullard of Sutton. Besides being a successful practi- tioner he was very active and public spirited in town afifairs. He was an active free mason and one of the leading men in the formation of the Oxford society, a stockholder in the Central Cotton Mfg. Co.. an adherent of Shay's in the famous incipient rebellion. He went to Cambridge at the time of the siege of Boston, had, it is related, an interview with Gen. Washington, and was ofifered a surgeon's ap- pointment, which he declined. He was Selectman in 1782-3-4. Erected the resi- dence he resided in in 1791. which is still standing. At his death, by his request, no Masonic services were held at liis grave.

In a letter to a friend he says, after nientioning the States he had passed through, "I think of all the places in my travels, no one equals this. It is without ex- ception the finest country I ever heard or saw for goodness, but the inhabitants are indolent, living from hand to mouth. Millions of acres of land in this, the Northwest Territory, are as level as a floor, without a tree upon it, but grass as high as your head on horseback, and very thick; 100 bushels of corn to the acre; wheat good, but no good mills at present; through idle- ness. Can keep 200 hogs, 100 cows, 50 horses here as easy as you can five hogs. I have been to the lead mines and find there is made in this territory 3.000 tons of lead per year." He remained west until the war of 181 2 and enlisted. Was acting Adjutant at Newport, Ky.

He was graduated at Dart- mouth College, in ijpi; studied theology with Rev. Dr. Lyman, at Hatfield, and was ordained to the ministry at Hadley in May, 1794. For some time he preached as an evangelist in Geneva, N. Y. ; Milford, Conn., and North Brookfield, Mass. He declined these calls, but accepted one to New Braihtree, Mass., where he was installed pastor in Aug., 1796. In 1809 he had a revival which was prolonged two years, and this was repeated in 1818- 19-26-3 1 -42, by which large numbers were gathered in the church. He preached his half-century discourse in the New Braintree church, Oct. 26, 1846, which was published. He was interested in education, was one of the efficient helpers in the building up of Amherst Col- lege, and received the degree of D. D. from that institution in 1844. He continued to preach and perform pastoral duties, with the assistance of a colleague, until Oct., 1854. He spent sixty-one years in the actual ministry, and above sixty- eight with the same people. In person he was tall, well-proportioned, of digni- fied manners, of serene and intelligent countenance. He possesed a clear, well balanced mind, and a general completeness of character seldom found. His pul- pit eflforts were marked by eminent good sense and great appropriateness, espe- cially in prayer. A number of his discourses were published. He d. Mar., 1855; res.

William Fiske, the father, was ordained at Mr. Beecher's church. He returned south two years ago, and has been in the eniploy of the government as superintendent of schools in a district about New Orleans. He has always felt a deep interest in the blacks, and since he has been among them he has preached constantly, as well as taught them. But he felt that he could be of more use and have more iiifluence, if he were an ordained minister, and as he was obliged to come North, on account of ill health, he improved the opportunity of having the rite performed. 2458. vi.

Sept 23, 1790, d. Jan., 1883. He was born in Barre, Mass., where he resided until 21 years of age when he went to Boston, where he lived about ten years (married there in 1813). Then moved to New York, lived there until his death on August 12, 1868. He was formerly in the produce commis- sion business, but retired many years before his death. He was a very domestic man, devoted to his family — a most genial and kindly nature. Those who knew him speak of his kindly na- ture and say they don't believe he had an en- emy in the world, and he had many, many friends. He was not active in politics, nor did he accumulate a large fortune, but that is not all of life. He was an active Mason, and had a Masonic funeral. One of the obituary notices published at the time of his death says that "he was held as authority on disputed matters rela- tive to Masonic usage, and his opinion was held in high respect by the 'craft."

The Town Clerk of Cavendish. Vt., writes that there is nothing on the records of Fisks. Chester was never any part of any other town. It first received its charter in 1763 as New Flam- stead. Afterwards the name was changed to Chester. He was born in New England and was a successful physician. He settled in Genesee Co., N. Y. His eldest son. Dr. David Lewis Fisk, located in Kentucky and the father paid him a visit. Being much pleased with the country he decided to locate there himself. He resided for some time in Kentucky before sending for his family. He boarded with John Carlisle, the grandfather of John G. Carlisle (not then born), the present Secretary of the Treasury. Dr. Fisk on his way back to New York stopped at Mount Vernon, O.. to visit some friends he had known in the east, and there he died. He had resided in what was then Pomfrey Hollow, now Gran, and in Manlius Square, both in Onondaga County, N. Y. He resided but a very short time in Genesee County, N. Y., and then returned to Onondaga County, N. Y. He was a handsome man, six feet, well proportioned, healthy, and quite an athlete. He was a natural doctor and became eminent in his profes- sion. In making a diognosis he exhibited rare ability. He was of a rather roving disposition and acquired property slowly. He d. Feb. 28, 1829; res. Gen- esee Co., N. Y., and Ky. 2545. i. JOHN FLAVEL, b.

In the winter seasons from 1822 to 1840 he was mostly employed in teaching public and "rivate schools. For nearly twenty years, commencing Mar., 1824, he was a member of the Superintending School Com- mittee of his native town; and during that time he had the satisfaction of seeing the common schools of Dublin rise from the lowest to the highest rank among similar institutions in the State. While farming was his principal business, he has been employed more or less in surveying lands, and routes for roads, in ^ttlmg estates and in taking care of funds belonging to individuals. He was one of the compilers of the "History of Dublin," published in iBsS, which is regarded as a work of some merit. He has held several positions of honor and trust, among them are that of Town Clerk; agent to defend the town in several long and perplexing law suits; agent having charge of the town funds ($18,768.80) FISKE GENEALOGY. 285 from Mar., 1842, till he was 70 years of age; moderator, having presided over more annual and other meetings of the town than any other individual that has ever resided there; representative in 1S4/, 185;, 1858; State Senator 1859, i860; State commissioner to prevent the spread of contagious diseases among cattle, 1864- 1865; Justice of the Peace from 1842 to 1857, and from 1857 has been Justice of the Peace and Quorum throughout the State.

Nov. 2, 1863, he was commissioned Second Lieutenant of Company E, Fourteenth Regiment, and May 27, 1864, he was promoted to First Lieutenant of Company K, in the same regiment. On being mustered in as First Lieutenant he took command of the company which he held to his death. He was killed in the battle of Winchester, Va., Sept. 19, 1864. An ofiicer of the reg- iment said of him: "Lieutenant Fisk will be remembered as a dutiful son, an affectionate brother, a dear friend, an agree- able companion, a kind neighbor, a true soldier, and a brave officer. His townsmen bear ample testimony to his worth as a citizen and a man. In the army too, officers and men keep his memory green, and sadly call to mind that he will no more join them on the march, at bivouac, in camp or where death shots fall thick and fast He was ever ready to do a kind deed, both at home and abroad, and many a soldier re- members him kindly for attentions received at his hands while on a sick bed. He was prompt to do his duty and "died at his post' in the van of the fight. A patriot's honors rest upon his brow." 2613. ii. ARABELLA SOPHIA, b. May 29, 1844; m.

He went to Danby, Vt., in 1789, and settled on a farm, where he lived for seventy-nine years, or until his death. He went to the Green Mountain State with his two brothers. In 1790 he returned to Rhode Island, was married, and soon returned, bringing the household eflfects and wife in an ox team. He lived in a log house twenty years, when he erected the frame house now standing. He possessed a rugged constitution and was remarkably fitted to encounter the obstacles and endure the privations necessarily experienced during the establishment of a home in the wilderness. Mr. Fisk was a great hunter and trapper in the early days, and many good stories are related of his adventures with wild game. He led a laborious and industrious life, always peaceable and unassuming, and died at the ripe age of 96. He d. ae. 96, in 1867; res. Danby. Vt. 2632. i. HIRAM PHILLIPS, b. Jan 15, 1806; m.

SAMUEL FISK (Ichabod E., Ebenezer, Ebenezer, John, John, Phinehas, Thomas, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Aug. 16, 1776; m. at Isle La Motte, Vt., Polly Scott, dau. of Henry, b. 1787; d. Jan. 23, 1864. Samuel Fisk, Esq., was born Aug. 9, A. D. 1776; came to Isle La Motte, in the State of Vermont, with his father Ichabod Ebenezer Fisk, a collegiate in the year A. D. 1788, said family being one of the first families who settled said Isle La Motte and located upon the real estate which afterward developed into the Fisk Marble Quarry in said Isle La Motte. Through the opportunities afforded by his father, Samuel became well educated. He had a very peculiar manner of expressing his ideas in language that indicated a large degree of magnanimity which he actually possessed. His sayings and aphorisms were remembered by FISKE GENEALOGY. 297 his contemporaries and handed down to posterity. Those who knew him in his hfetime say that he was never known to distress or to attempt to distress or injure a person no matter how much he might be aspersed, maligned or tra- duced; retaliation and vindictiveness being foreign to his nature. He was always affable and generous in his impulses. The writer hereof lived a near neighbor to Samuel Fisk fifty years ago and knows that the statements above narrated are true. Samuel Fisk was one of the first organizers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in said Isle La Motte, and always gave liberally from his large resources for the maintenance of said church during his lifetime. He represented his town in the General Assembly of the State of Vermont in the year A. D. 1802, and gave his town a name at said Legislature, calling it "Vineyard." It bore that name until 1830, when it was changed and named "Isle La Motte.'' The said Samuel was the first of the Fisk family who originated and developed the noted Fisk Marble Quarry in Isle La Motte. By this industry and his large farming opera- tions he became wealthy and was the richest man in town for a number of years and up to his death, which occurred at Isle La Motte Jan. 25, 1858. In his life- time he married Polly Scott, and their children's names were Sylvia, Laura, Julia, Ira E., Nelson, Henry S., Hiram C, Sarah and Julius S., who are all deceased. Samuel Fisk was 81 years $ months and 16 days old at his decease. He d. Jan. 25, 1858; res. Isle La Motte, Vt. 2804. i. HIRAM C, b. Aug. 16, 1818; m. Cynthia Clark. 2805. ii. IRA E., b.

He is the only child of Edmund Brewster Green, of Smyrna, Del., and Mary (Fiske) Bound, of Middletown, Conn. The father was editor of newspapers in Hartford, New York and Panama, where he died in 1852, and his widow married Hon. Edwin W. Stoughton, of New York, in 1855. The son's name was originally Edmund Fiske Green. In 1855 he took the name of his maternal great-grandfather, John Fiske. He lived at Middletown during childhood and until he entered Harvard, where he was graduated in 1863. He was graduated at the Harvard Law School in 1865, having been already admitted to the Suffolk bar in 1864, but has never practiced law. His career as author began in 1861, with an article on "Mr. Buckle's Fallacies," published in the "National Quarterly Review." Since that time he has been a frequent contributor to American \J •J^ and British periodicals. In 1869-71 he was university lecturer /\ XJ on philosophy at Harvard; in 1870 instructor in history there, and in 1872-79 assistant librarian. On resigning the latter place, in 1879, he was elected a member of the board of over- seers, and at the expiration of the six years' term was re-elected in 1885. Since 1881 he has lectured annually on American history at Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., and since 1884 has held a professorship of American history at that in- stitution, but continues to make his home at Cambridge. He lectured on American history at University College, London, in 1879, and at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1880. Since 1871 he has given many hundred lectures, chiefly upon American history, in the principal cities of the United States and Great Britain. The largest part of his Hfe has been de- voted to the study of history; but at an early age inquiries into the nature of human progress led him to a careful study of the doctrine of evolution, and it was as an expounder of this doc- t^ '/^nm^^ FISKE GENEALOGY. 301 trine that he first became known to the public. In 1871 he arrived at the discovery of the catises of the prolonged infancy of mankind, and the part played by it in determining human development; and the importance of this contribution to the Darwinian theory, now generally admitted, was immediately recognized by Darwin and Spencer. His published books are: "Tobacco and Alcohol" (New York, 1868) ; "Myths and Myth- Makers" (Boston, 1872); "Outlines of Cosmic Philosophy, based on the Doctrine of Evolution" (2 vols., London, 1874, re- published in Boston); "The Unseen World" (Boston, 1876); "Darwinism, and Other Essays" (London, 1879; new and en- larged edition, Boston, 1885); "Excursions of an Evolutionist" (Boston, 1883); "The Destiny of Man Viewed in the Light of His Origin" (Boston, 1884) ; "The Idea of God as affected by Modern Knowledge" (Boston, 1885) ; and "American Political Ideas Viewed from the Standpoint of Universal History" (New York, 1885); "Critical Period of American History" (1888); "Beginnings of New England" (1889) ; "The War of Independ- ence, for Young People" (1889) ; "Civil Government in the United States" (1890); "American Revolution," 2 vols. (1891); "Discovery of America," 2 vols. (1892); "History of the United States, for Schools" (1894). All the above published by Houghton, MifBin & Co. Also "Edward Livingston You- man's Interpreter of Science for the People" (New York, D. Appleton & Co., 1894) ; "A Japanese Translation of The Des- tiny of Man" was published at Tokio in 1893.

J., in 1815, Judith Qureaux, b. 1801; d. 1865. Haley Fisk was born in Cumberland, R. I., in 1793. He was a machinist and engineer by trade, and while in Paterson, N. J. during the war of 1812, raised a company, of which he was Lieutenant, and went to Cape May for duty as a member of the State Militia; was not called on to go further. He was an expert swordsman and a good musician. During his life he had charge of a powder mill at Spotswood, N. J., which blew up after he left there. He was also in charge of the work of building the lower lock of the Delaware and Raritan canal at that city, when the canal was built, and afterward started the first iron fovmdry in that city and built the boiler and engine with which it was run. Before this was finished he ran the foundry by horse power. He was a friend of Henry Clay and other prominent Whig politicians and v/as a power in politics in the 40's, and up to the war, in that city and county, was Justice of the Peace for over thirty- five years. For a number of years he was a county judge, and was prominent in social affairs. His honesty was a proverb and as Justice he preferred to have litigants settle their differences rather than throw moneys into his hands by litiga- tion. He was a Mason and when the two lodges of F. & A. M's. in that city were broken up during the anti-Masonic craze he was the means of gathering the mem- bers together and forming what was called the Union Lodge, which is still in existence. He was ever after'called the "Father of the Lodge." He was buried in that city with Masonic honors. He d. in Greenpoint, N. Y., 1877; res. New Brunswick, N. J. 2901. iv. STEPHEN M., b. 1822; m.

Nathaniel Fisk possessed a remarkable mind and was no ordinary orator at Masonic festivals. But like all the rest of the Fisk family of whom one has any knowledge, was exceedingly modest and unpretending, being content to lead a quiet life on his farm. Nathaniel Fisk was an active, zealous, Mason, as also were all his sons by his first wife, Lois Van Buren Hall. During the days of anti- Masonry, by the appointment of the Grand Lodge he had much to do in tracing out the life of Morgan, who was said to have been murdered by the Masons for being untrue to his Masonic obligations. Mr. Fisk found positive proof that Morgan was, not murdered, but left the United States, went to Germany, where he lived many years and died there. One of our foreign Ministers saw Morgan in Germany, recognizing him and conversed with him concerning the reports of his murder. He d. in West Bush, N. Y.; res. Mayfield, N. Y. 2918. i. STEPHEN, b.

Lonson and his brothers went to Newark at such an early age that important links in the history back of Jonathan were either not known to them or were lost or forgotten. The old family homestead is located about three miles southwest of Newark, N. Y., and on this farm nine children were born, all now (1895) alive, although the father and mother are dead. The father was deacon of the Newark Baptist Church forty years; held town and village offices, and, although one of the early settlers there, accumulated a very respectable property. He and his wife lived to celebrate the fiftieth anniverssary of marriage, enjoying the occasion in the presence of their unbroken family, to- gether for the first time in twenty years. Lonson Fisk was a farmer's son, and chose farming as a life occupation for himself. At the age of 21 he located on a farm adjoining his father's, near Newark, in the southwest part of Wayne Co., New York. He had a good common school education, and by reading kept pace with the times in knowledge of the world's doings. He was a Christian man in the full sense of the word, and gave liberally of his time and means to the church. He, though interested in political afifairs, never held office. In 1873 he left the farm in the care of one of his sons and resided in the village of Newark until his death. He d. Dec. 19, 1885; res. Newark, N. Y. 2983. i. GEO. W., b.

Hannah Whitney Alden, dau. of Wdliam and Susannah (Whitney) Alden, b. Needham, Mass, Sept. 13, 1806; d. Nov. 16, 1885, in Ashland. He remembers back to the age of two and a half years when a company of militia jvere passing; the house, and the family had assembled at the windows leaving no place for him. So he thrust his head out of the cat-hole near the floor. The captain saw his head and wishing a little sport rode up and drawing his sword said, "Take your head in or I shall cut it ofif." At his advanced age of nearly 92 he laughs about it now and says it is needless to say his head went in. When 4 years of age his father moved to Eden, Vt., on a two- horse sled. He rode on one side of the sled while his sister ilargaiet sat upon the other side so no points of interest should be passed unnoticed on the way. At the age of 14 he and his sister Margaret were bound out to their brother Clark, until they became of age, to work out the old deDt Clark had paid for his father when he lost so much as a huckster. He came to Boston at 21, and drove stage from Boston to Worcester for a few years. During that time became ac- quainted with' Hannah Whitney Alden, and returned to Eden, bought a farm, erected buildings (near his father's home), and married, Jan. 14, 1834. There his six children were born, and in 1855 moved to Hyde Park, on account of better schools for his children. He returned to his own home in Eden in 1861. Sold and bought a farm in Ashland, Mass., in Apr., 1865, where he now (1895) lives at the age of 91 years and 7 months. He was always and even now is fun-loving, believing that it is better to not watch for the solemn shadows that will surely find us, but make the most of life as we go along. Honest and upright in his dealings, often telling his children that no Fiske was ever behind the bars. Is a Congregationalist in creed. Republican in politics. An Ashland paper in referring to its aged citizen says: "Four Score and Twelve Years. — Our honored townsman, Washington Fiske, reached the age of 92 years last Saturday, and was able to be up and receive his friends who called upon him with congratulations for a life so well rounded out in years, strength and usefulness. Your correspondent was shown the photo- graphic group of four generations which are now represented in this household — - Mr. Fiske, senior, the central figure; at his right his son, G. C. Fiske; his grand- daughter, Mrs. Nina (Fiske) Prouty; and at his left his great-grandson, Claude Granville Prouty. Among the guests was his niece. ^Irs. Lizzie Bassett, of Worcester. Mr. Fiske bids fair to round out the century, although he has for 312 FISKE GENEALOGY. many years suttered trom inhrmity to which ordinary men would have suc- cumbed." Res.

He went to Ashland, jNlass., Apr. i, 1859, to work for his cousin, Chas. Alden, in the emery business.

He resided, at home in Londonderry until he was 20 years of age, when he went to Boston, where he was first engaged in the construction of wharves, and shortly afterwards turned his attention to cooperage. Later brick manufacturing and operations in real estate occupied most of his time and attention. However, he found time to successfully operate a quarry and till a large acreage for farm pur- poses. Before Somerville became a city he was for a number of years one of its selectmen and prominent in its affairs. He was one of the heaviest tax payers, as his interests in real estate were large. Being too old he was not drafted, but paid a man $500 to serve in the army at the time of the late war. One fact occurs as being important: He owned the patent and built the first kiln for the man- ufacture of bricks with one side glazed or marbleized. Bticks so treated are in quite general use today. Gen. James Dana and he owned and developed a large part of the northeasterly side of Somerville.

It was by him while in Lake City, Minn., that the discovery was made of the true Congregational- ism of the Swedish Mission Churches, and the clue given to Secretary Montgomery, which led to his beautiful life work. His native church in June, 1896, chose him to give its Centennial discourse, and one item in that discourse mentioned the fact that there had now been for ninety-five years a Deacon Fisk in that church; res.

He was married to Miss Alice Morgan, of Burlington. He had been in newspaper work for about half a dozen years, during which time he had 322 FISKE GENEALOGY. worked on the Morrisville Citizen, both the St. Johnsbury pa- pers, the Bennington Banner, Burlington Clipper and Burling- ton News.

His student life was cut short by the war, however. He enlisted as private in Company B, Thirteenth Vermont Regiment. At the battle of Gettys- burg, under Gen. Stannard, he took part with the Second Vermont Brigade in movements that good judges pronounce the "turning points" of this battle, which is called the "turning point" of the war. On the second day of the fight when the confederates had well nigh pierced our center, the Thirteenth Vermont was called into action and made a charge against a brigade of the enemy, driving it back and following it up for some distance and capturing many prisoners although the regiment was unsupported on either flank. Mr. Fisk was slightly wounded in this charge but did not leave the field, and the next day took part in the famous movement of Gen. Stannard's troops when they fell upon the flank of Gen. Pickett's advancing column and completed its discomfiture. Soon after this battle Mr. Fisk had an attack of typhoid fever which nearly cost him his life and left him unfitted for further army service. He settled upon the old homestead in Waitsfield and cared for his parents in their declining years. He has held several important offices in his native town, with acceptance. He was chosen deacon of the Congregational Church at the age of 24, which office he still holds. He has frequently written acceptable articles for the press, especially upon agricultural and Grand Army top- ics; res. Waitsfield, Vt. 3154- i- ANNIE LOWISA, b. Sept. 2, 1878. 3155. ii.

In the fall of 1881 he went to Dakota as a member of the Yale Dakota Band, with a company of nine students who pledged themselves to go into the Home Missionary work in the then new territory of Dakota. He worked one year in Egan (Moody County) ; two years in Letcher (Sanborn County) ; four years in Gettysburg (Pot- ter County); seven years in Myron (Faulk County); and is now situated at Ree Heights (Hand County), having charge of four churches in that county and two in Buflfalo County; res.

FISKE GENEALOGY. 327 was born on his father's farm, in Fayette, Me., Feb. lo, 1829. His family failing, his boyhood life was one of hard work, with little education. At 21 he was em- ployed in a mill yard at Manchester, N. H., at 75 cents a day, working twelve hours at very hard work, out of which he paid board and expenses. After working in the mill yard, in a hotel and family, he returned to Maine; attended a private school eight weeks, the Maine Wesleyan Seminary twenty-three weeks, and the Waterville Academy fifteen weeks, working on a farm and teaching during vacations. He was compelled to use rigid economy, and for thirteen weeks carried his week's provision in a basket on his arm, while at the Wesleyan Seminary, and lived during two terms at the Waterville Academy on crackers, West India molasses and cold water, six days out of seven, and for a rarity had baked meat and beans, coflfee and brown bread for Sundays. Hard work, hard study, the sudden change from school to hard work and from hard work to school, began to undermine his health, and in 1852 he came to Mt. Pulaski, III, and after peddling books awhile, he taught school until Apr., 1857, when he came to Lincoln, 111., to complete his law studies (which he had commenced while teaching), at the same time writing in the office of the clerk of the courts. In Nov., 1857, he was elected Justice of the Peace, which office had yielded his predecessor $350 per year. He was appointed notary public in 1857, which office he has held for thirty-eight years, and was admitted to the bar of the State of Illinois, in 1858. In four years his office of Justice of the Peace and his other business yielded him over $7,000, which laid the founda- tion for a competence. His next move in life was a great sacrifice in health and financial success. In Aug., 1861, he entered the service as First Lieut., in Com- pany H., Fourth Regiment of Cavalry, Illinois Volunteers.; was promoted to Captain, July i, 1862; appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the Third United States Col- ored Cavalry, by the President, in 1864, but declined and was mustered out of ser- vice in Nov., 1864, after serving three years and three months, his health having been completely broken down by the hardships of the service. He returned to Lincoln, where he has since resided. During his service, he took part in the capture of Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, the battle of Shiloh, siege of Corinth, advance into Mississippi under Grant, and many other sharp engagements. At Fort Henry, Lieutenant-Colonel McCollough, his commander, with 150 men, marched to the rear of the fort; the garrison, except those at the water-battery, fled up the river. McCollough entered the fort; about twenty men under the Cap- tain of Company H went to the water-battery, while McCollough (Fisk in com- mand of Company H.) charged the retreating rebels, over 2,000 strong; stampeded them; chased them ten miles, capturing all their cannon, baggage and rear guard. This taught Captain Fisk to fight his cavalry with a dash and desperation. Three incidents we will relate. Nov. 30, 1862, he was ordered, with his command of 125 dismounted men to develop the enemy, who were in a thicket. Moving in line to within close range, he ordered the men to hold their fire and charged the thicket. The enemy gave a volley, but with a yell Fisk's men dashed on, stam- peded the rebels, who fled. The rebels proved to be a Texan regiment of 450 in- fantry. The Texan Colonel said he had believed one Southerner could whip three "Yankees," but he found one Yankee could whip three Texans. In May, 1863, with twenty men, half raw recruits, he suddenly met eighteen picked rebels. Fisk instantly ordered the charge, stampeded them, and captured five. Aug. 8, 1864, in Concordia Parish, La., 300 Texas rebels were about to surround forty of his regi- ment. With sixty men he galloped in column to close range, deployed in line at a gallop, ordered his men to hold their fire for close quarters, and charged without halting. The onslaught was so sudden, the rebels fled. His instructions to his rnen were: "If you are ever in close quarters, with nine chances of death, and one to escape, take the tenth chance and you will escape." Following these instruc- tions, although many times in close quarters, he never had a man captured. His discipline over and kindness to his men were noted.. But one m.an under his com- mand deserted, although twenty-eight of his men deserted while under the com- mand of his successor. He received an honorable mention in Davidson and Stuvee's "History of Illinois" for a reconnoissance on the flank of the enemy at the battle of Shiloh. In 1865 he was elected a member of the first city council of Lincoln, and served as chairman of the finance committee, and the other most important committees. In 1867 he was elected Justice of the Peace for four years. Finding his health would not permit a general practice of the law, he, in 1866, opened a real estate and counsellor-at-law office, which vocation he has fol- 328 FISKE GENEALOGY. lowed to the present time. He married Miss Ellen M. Wakefield, daughter of Na- than B. and Ruth (Leffingwell) Wakefield, of Kingsville, Ohio, by whom he has two children, Ruth Melenda, and Franklin, Jr. He is giving his children a liberal education, of which he was denied, his daughter having taken graduate and post- graduate courses and a course in music, and his son entering college as freshman at i6. In politics, he was a conservative Whig, up to 1856, when being an eye- witness to the United States Marshal's border ruffian posse's acts at Lawrence, Kan., he became, and remained, a stanch Republican. His religious motto is: "Do right in all things, and trust God for the result." Res. Lincoln, 111. 3231. i. RUTH MELENDA, b. June i, 1871. 3232. ii. FRANKLIN, b. Feb. 23, 1879. 1760.

Y., Sept. 22, 1852, Susan Mathews Bradley, b. May 18, 1831. John Brad- ley was a native of Cheshire, Conn. The ances- tors of the Connecticut Bradleys appear to have been William and Isaac, both of whom settled in New Haven, the former in 1645, the latter (spelled Bradlee) in 1683, having stopped some time in Bradford, Mass. Both families have numerous descendants. Savage says twenty- three of this name had graduated at N. E. col- leges before 1835. Col. John Bradley was born in Cheshire, Conn., in 1793. His parents were Bradley and Susan Mathews. Their chil- dren were John, Susan, Esther, and Roxana. Col. Bradley entered the military service of the United States during the war of 1812, and for meritorious conduct was promoted to the rank of Captain in the regular army. He was for some time in command of the military force stationed at Fort Dearborn, Chicago. In 1837 he retired from the service, having previously married Miss Sarah Brown, of Brownville, N. Y., in which place he settled, engaged in busi- ness, and acquired property. Upon the election of Hon. Wm. H. Seward as Gov- ernor of New York, he was offered and accepted a position on his staff, with the rank of Colonel. Rev. Dr. William Allen Fiske was graduated at the Episcopal Theological Seminary in the City of New York, in 1849. On Sept. 22, 1852, he was married to Susan Mathews Bradley, daughter of Col. John and Sarah Bradley, of Browns- ville, N. Y. In Nov., 1849, he was appointed missionary to Theresa and Redwood, Jefferson county. New York, where he remained two years and three months, built churches and gathered in congregations. In Jan., 1852, he was called to the rectorship of St. Stephen's Church, New Hartford, N. Y. There he remained two years and later obtained a parsonage for the church. In 1854 he was called to Lyons, N. Y., where he remained five years. In 1859 he was called to Grace Church, Cleveland, O. He was called to St. Paul's Church, Cincinnati, O., in the winter of 1865-6. He built up this parish, until it was the largest in the diocese of Ohio; but his health failed in 1874, and he then gave up the parish, and re- tired for about a year to his farm in Indiana, near Rei. His health improved considerably here, so that he was able, in 1875, to accept a call to the rectorship of St. John's Church in Quincy, 111. In 1876 he became rector of St. John's parish, "Naperville, 111., where he remained for four years, increasing largely the parish membership and doubling the size of the church edifice. While residing here the Northwestern. College conferred the degree of LL.D. on him. In 1881 he was called to the rectorship of St. John's Church, Bangor, Me., where he remained EEV. WILLIAM ALLEN FISKE. 330 FISKE GENEALOGY. until 1886. He was now 61 years old, and he gave up the parish and went to Boston, where he lived for about a year, doing light work in filling occasional pul- pits. In 1887 he and his wife went to Brooklyn, to be near their children; and for three years he assisted the bishop and archdeacon in missionary work among the struggling parishes in the growing parts of the city. In 1890 he was called as rector of St. Andrew's parish, Brooklyn; and though he was 65 years old, he undertook the work, and pushed it ahead with extraordinary vigor. Not content with merely enlarging the parish as it was, he determined, after he had made the congregation too large for the edifice, to purchase land, and build a church and chapel on a scale commensurate with the future which he foresaw to be certain for that part of Brooklyn. He succeeded in his self-allotted task, aided in every way by the devotion of his wife and his youngest son, John, aid actually bought the ground and superintended the designs for the church and chapel. But he overtaxed his strength, and did not live to see the completion of the work that crowned his latter days. He died on the 12th of March, 1894; died in the harness, as he always wished to do, died in the very midst of his work, died in the fullness of years; and the new St. Andrews Church is a lasting monument. He lived a noble and useful life; his aims were always pure and lofty; his ideals were exalted; he lived for others more than for himself, and he died for his Master, whom he had so long and so devotedly served. In a publication, "The Bishop's Address," in a lengthy obituary of Dr. Fiske, it is said: "Though in declining health for some months, his death at last was a surprise to his family and his people. It might be enough to say of him, in his somewhat secluded ministry and in his young and struggling parish, that he was a good pastor and a faithful preacher, and as such gave himself largely to the task of thoroughly grounding his flock upon the principles of the church's faith and order. He worked with a cheerful faith and undaunted courage which, under God, are al- ways the sure pledges of ultimate triumph. Others will enter into his labors and build on his foundations; but let us hope, it will be with an unfailing memory of the debt of gratitude which St. Andrew's parish owes to its first rector."

His New York ad- i dress is 52 Wall St. John f Brown Bradley Fiske was born at Cleveland, Feb. 7, 1863, and is a son of the Rev. William Allen Fiske, LL.D., and Susan Bradley Fiske. His father was ■ at the time rector of Grace Church, Cleveland, and left there in 1865 to become rector of St. Paul's Church, Cincinnati, where John's common school education was chiefly pro- cured. A year and a half on the farm at Delaware, Ind. ; a year at Quincy, 111., and four years at Naperville, III., where he attended North- western College, gave him the experience of country and Western life which, together b.

He nevertheless remembers that he is an Ohio man and will doubtless use this for all he is worth when occasion arises. While in Bangor, Me., where he moved with his father, in 1880, he studied law with Peregrine White an Hon. Frederick M. Laughton, and was admitted to the bar in 1884, and for two years practiced law there and argued a case in appeal before the full bench in 1885, in Trainor vs. Mor- rison, 78 Maine, 160, where the opposing counsel was an ex- Governor of the State. Strange to say, he was beaten, but his contention as to the powers of traveling salesmen has since become recognized as the law. Becoming convinced that a law school course was a proper one to fit a lawyer for his pro- fession, he took the three years' course at the Boston Uni- versity Law School in one year, and graduated among the first ten in his class, receiving his degree magna cum laude, in 1887. He then came to New York City, and was admitted to the New York bar, and acted as managing clerk for Hon. Peter B. Olney, Messrs. Kelly & Mackae, Cravath & Houston and Hays & Greenbaum. Since 1893 he has been connected with the firm of Messrs. Evarts, Choate & Beaman, 52 Wall St., New York City, and is the assistant of Hon. Charles C. Beaman, who headed the reform ticket in 1895 as candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Mr. Fiske is also attending to the legal wants of South Brooklyn, where he resides. He always, since a lad, evinced a strong love for music, and as a boy soprano won considerable attention. When in Bangor he sang tenor in the quartette choir at his father's church, and was quite prominent in the councils of the Cecilia Club, a local musical society. He studied the voice for three years tinder J. C. Bartlett and Clarence A. Marshall, of Boston, and while at Law School sang at St. Paul's Church. Coming to New York he sang for over a year in Trinity Church, and afterwards held solo positions in Calvary Church, New York, and Trinity, Hoboken. His father's health commencing to fail in the fall of 1893, he deemed it his duty to take charge of the choir of St. Andrew's Church, Brooklyn, of which his father was rector, and otherwise sustain him in his work. This move proved a very wise one, as the revival of the choir invigorated the energies of the parish, and kept the work going on during his father's illness, so that at his death the people of the church united with his son in the work of building a new church edifice. Mr. Fiske is a trustee of St. Andrew's parish, and a delegate to the diocesan convention, where he is a member of the stand- ing committee on the incor- poration of new parishes. He is treasurer of the local Y. M. C. A., and represents the Eighth Ward of Brook- lyn in th€ councils of the Citizen's Union, of Brook- lyn, a non-partisan organiza- tion. He is not married, but resides with his mother at 216 Fifty-third St., Brooklyn. ALBERT AUGUSTUS FISKE , William, WilHam, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, Will- REV. BEV. ALBERT AUliOSTUS FISKE. (Allen, William, William, 332 FISKE GENEALOGY. iam, Symond), b. Troy, N. Y., Nov. i, 1828; m. Nov. 23, 1859, Amelia Goodyear Rev. Albert Augustus Fiske, third son of Allen and Eliza Fiske, was born in Troy, N. Y. The youngest of the brothers, the first fif- teen years of his life was spent with his father, a student most of that time in his school and fitted under his excellent training to enter upon an advanced collegiate course at the age of 16. Such had been his early purpose, but overruled by what was then deemed to be wiser counsels, he was persuaded to betake himself to the more practical training of the printing office, which he did, in the winter of 1844-5, at Auburn, N. Y., in the office of the Northern Christian Advocate, an organ of the M. E. Church, of extensive circulation. After serving his apprenticeship in this establishment, in the fall of 1847 he returned to his native city, and soon afterward commenced, in connection with his father, the publication of a weekly newspaper, called the Family Journal. In the fall of 1848 his brother, David E., from Am- herst, joined them, and proved a most efficient ally. From this time onward, for more' than twelve years, the Family Journal prospered, both in means and influence, recognized by its many thousands of readers, and by its contemporaries, as an able, popular, and influential newspaper, which result was largely due_ to the gifted pen of its principal editor, Allen Fiske, Esq. In 1854, David, and shortly afterward his father, severally retired from the concern, and soon the publication of "Fiske's Family Journal" was brought to a close. Albert A. Fiske married ]\liss Amelia, the accomplished daughter of Rev. George Good- year, of Temple, N. H., and in the summer of 1862 they removed to Chicago, 111., where shortly afterwards Mr. Fiske began the preparation and compilation of materials for a genealogical work, which was finally completed and published in 1867, entitled: "A History of the Family (ancestral and descendant), of Will- iam Fiske, Sr., of Amherst, N. H." with brief notices of other branches springing from the same stock. This was the first attempt to publish a work on the Fiske genealogy in this country, and though the details mostly concerned certain branches descended from the Wenham Fiskes, yet so comprehensive was its view, that it has probably served as the nucleus of this larger and more elaborate work* In 1864-5 Mr. Fiske began his preparation for holy orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church, and in 1869 he graduated from the Nashotan Theological Seminary, Wisconsin. On Trinity Sunday of that year he was ordained to the diaconate by Bishop Whitehouse, and in November following was called tothe rectorship of Zion Church, Oconomowoc, where he was advanced to the priest- hood by Bishop Kemper, of saintly memory, in the spring of 1870. He remained for several years there, and was greatly prospered in his work. In 1875 he re- signed his charge tc give his invalid wife the benefit of a change of climate. In 1876 he returned to Chicago, and took missionary service for awhile under Bishop McLaren. In Jan., 1877, he was called to Christ Church, Harvard, 111., where in 1881, he built a new and beautiful house of worship, and presented it to the dio- cese all paid for. He continued in charge, serving the people most acceptably, until Easter, 1886, when he was called to St. Paul's Church, Austin, 111., a suburb of Chicago, where he remained about six years. In this field also he was signally successful, the membership of the church increasing threefold, but his health fail- ing, he resigned in the fall of 1892, in order to secure much needed rest. In Nov., i8§5, he was recalled to the church in Harvard, where he now resides, respected and beloved by the people. Several of Mr. Fiske's sermons have been pub- lished by request, and received flattering commendation from the Church Press. Although serving continuously in the ministry for over twenty-five years, Mr. Fiske has had but three parishes during that time, and is pleasantly remembered in them all. A very valuable heirloom came into the possession of Rev. A.A. Fiske, on the death of his uncle, David Fiske, Esq., of Amherst. It is an old •The compiler, as stated in the introduction, expresses his appreciation of the valuable assistance rendered by the work of Rev. A. A. Fiske. When his book was compiled It was in- deed a most difScult task. But few town histories and genealogies had then been printed and nearly everyone was diffident and indifferent as to their origin. A friend writlug of Mr. Fiske says: "It would-be entirely just and proper to recognize in some fitting way the fact of obligation to one who, as pioneer, had 'blazed the way' thro' the trackless jungle where reposed the ashes of burled generations. The fathers took little pains to keep track of their kindred in their migrations and ever widening groups of descent. It is only with a truer appreciation of its value that an interest in genealogical matters has revived. Hence the difficulty in this country of compiling a general family history. It is a big job, as he happened to know, for he spent the best part of two years at it and considerable money without pecuniary reward. Doubtless what he did has been some help to you." FISKE GENEALOGY. 333 English clock, of large dimensions and superior workmanship, which undoubted- ly belonged originally to the Wenliam Fiskes, as far back as the beginning of the last century (1700), as it is distinctly mentioned in testamentary documents signed , by Dea. Ebenezer Fiske, of date 1764, and described as his "old clock," which came to him along with the homestead, from his father, Dea. William, whose will was probated 1725. As Dea. William, of Wenham, was the sole legatee of Will- iam the emigrant, it probably was bequeathed to him as part of his marriage portion (1662). There can be no question as to the venerable age of this clock, for its works are of chilled brass, harder than the hardest steel, and the process of such rare alchemy became a lost art a long while ago. It is perfectly safe to say that this clock is at least 150 years old, for in 1764 it was spoken of as an old English timepiece; was willed at that date by Ebenezer Fiske to his son William; was brought to Amherst from Wenham in 1771, and for ninety years stood in the mansion of Hon. William Fiske, firmly bolted against the oaken crossbeams. It is an excellent timepiece even now, and is greatly prized. Rev. George Goodyear, of Temple, N. H., was a lineal descendant of Hon. Stephen Goodyear, who came to this country in 1630, and was descended from an ancient English family of that name, entitled to coat armor as appears by a royal grant dated 1569.

He taught schools in Meth- uen and East Abington, Mass.; Fair- ton, Bridgeton and BurHngton, N. J. In Sept., 184s, he entered Yale College; he was graduated in 1849, and at once en- tered the theological department of the school. He was licensed to preach in 1852; was a tutor at Yale from 1851-53; student in Andover Theological Semina- ry during part of 1853, and also traveled in Europe. Compelled by disease of the eyes to abandon the idea of entering the ministry, he refused several calls to take a pastorate. He however, accepted the professorship of rhetoric and English literature in Beloit, Wis., College, to which he had been appointed while abroad and entered upon his duties Apr., 1854, where he continued until 1859, hav- ing previously been appointed to the chair of sacred rhetoric in the Chicago Theological Seminary, in which insti- tution he has since continued. In 1865 he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Olivet College, Mich., and from Yale University in 1888; also the degree of Doctor of Laws from Be- loit College in 1888.

By advice of the faculty spent three years in the University of Berlin, studying oriental languages, specially Arabic. Was ready to return and enter upon a professorship at Hartford when his health, which by constant study had been seriously impaired, suddenly failed, and he died at the age of 29. As a lad he was deeply interested in ornithology. While in college he had charge of the ornithological collection, arranging and classi- fying it, and adding sixty-seven varieties to the number. Many of his drawings of birds and eggs were published by the Smith- sonian Institute, and were helpful in settling some disputed points in New England ornithology. While in the seminary he made a Hebrew vocabulary of the Psalms. His proficiency in Arabic was very marked, and he left extensive translations from the literature of that people. He was interesting and in- structive as a preacher, but important ofifered pulpits failed to lure him from his chosen course. Through native gifts and high attainments a promising career was open before him. "Fleb- ilis multis occidit," and by a wide circle his death was re- garded as a serious loss to American scholarship.

He was born at Strongsville, Ohio, in a big storm of snow and wind, in a pioneer log house; was brought back to Massachusetts when about six years old; went to common schools; worked on the farm; taught school in New Jersey a year when he was 15 and when 17 got into college at Amherst in 1851. He taught school winters, got through with a house appointment at gradu- ation; taught afterward at Canandaigua boys' boarding and day school. Went to Andover Theological Seminary; was called back to Amherst as tutor; was licensed to preach by the Franklin County Congregational Association in 1857; was tutor at Amherst and preached all through western Massachusetts for two years; leav- ing there went to St. Paul, Minn., for rest; preached there for a new First Congre- gational Church — the Plymouth; was ordained and installed first pastor in 1859; married in 1859; enlisted in the army in 1861; was elected chaplain of the Fourth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry same year; went into the field first after the battle of Shiloh; served through the war with his regiment or on detailed service, by special order of Gen. Grant. He returned to civil life in the summer of 1865; en- tered at once on the pastorate of the Second Congregational Church of Rockville, Conn., which was nearly doubled in strength in the course of a five years' min- istry there; was called thence to St. Peters Presbyterian Church of Rochester, N. Y., in 1870; the church grew and he paid off an old debt of $30,000. Then he was unexpectedly called to the Harvard Church, San Francisco, Cal. In that city he remained in the pastorate of the Harvard Street Church for nine years. Thence he was called to the pastorate of the First Church, Ithaca, N. Y., where he still is. In the war times with Gen. John Eaton, Jr., he had a large hand in organizing freed- men's affairs on the Mississippi River; armed and equipped the first colored com- pany of soldiers; built two log house towns of more than 1,000 houses each, and married 119 couples in half an hour. He was sent by Gen. Grant to Washington to endeavor to prevent the transfer of freedmen's affairs to a civil department, and to keep it in the department of war. Sumner's bill for such transfer was defeated and the Freedmen's Bureau was organized in the war office as was desired. He was employed afterward by the Bureau of Education to visit and report on the various penal and reformatory institutions of New England and the Middle States.

He was afterward invited to go as Government Commissioner to an International Confer- ence in London, of the departments of education of the various governments of Europe and the United States, and to examine and report on the European Na- tional Educational systems, and their working. But, as he had only lately accepted a call to the church at Rochester and as it was anxious for his immediate service, he was constrained to decline so inviting an appointment.

Rev. Frederic Augustus Fiske, son of Rev. Elisha and Margaret Shepard Fiske, was born in Wrentham, Mass., Apr. 15, 1816; fitted at Day's Academy in his native town at so early an age that it was not deemed advisable for him to enter college then, so he taught school for a year or so and then entered Amherst College from which he graduated in 1836 and received his A. M. in 1837, after which, as his health did not then permit of his taking a theological course, he at once engaged in teaching, first as assistant in Washington Institute, New York City, then in Norwalk, Conn., next as principal of Monson (Mass.) Academy, 1833-34, and later in Fall River, Mass. While in Fall River his wife died and he then decided to enter the ministry in accordance with his original plan, and much to the regret of his patrons in Fall River he en- tered Yale Theological Seminary, taking the full course from 1847 to 1850, when he entered upon the work of the ministry, being ordained pastor of the Congrega- tional Church of Ashburnham, Mass., Dec. 30, 1851, where he remained until Apr. 17, 1854, when he resigned. For about three years, from November 16, 1854, he was pastor of the Congregational Church in East Marshfield, after which at the solicitation of friends he resumed his former occupation of teaching, first as prin- cipal of the high school at Clinton, Mass., and for the next eight years as princi- pal of a boys' boarding school in Newton, Mass., which grew in numbers and popularity under his care. In 1865 on account of a severe illness his physician insisted upon his leaving his school and strongly recommended his moving at once to a warmer climate, so that from 1865 to 1868 he was Superintendent of Education for the State of North Carolina under the Freedmen's Bureau, receiving his appoint- ment from Gen. O. P. Howard. Having now regained his health he returned to Massachusetts, where he was for a short time pastor of the church in Raynham, Mass. The remainder of his life was spent in the service of the Protestant Epis- copal Church, being ordained as deacon on June 25, 1870, and as priest on Nov. 5 of the same year. From July, 1870, to May, 1873, he was rector of Trinity Church, Van Deusenville, Mass.; from May, 1873, to Sept., 1876, rector of St. Paul's Church, Brookfield, Conn.; from Sept., 1876, until his death rector of Grace Church, North Attleboro, Mass., which joins his native town. He died of nervous prostration 342 FISKE GENEALOGY. induced by overwork in his efforts to relieve his parish from a load of pecuniary indebtedness, but not until he had raised the last dollar. His bishop (Paddock), who officiated at his funeral, said of him in his annual address to the convention of 1879, as follows: "In the rectory that with the church at its side crowns the little knoll of an ample lot in a pretty villag* of Bristol County, one of our best rural pastors lay down to die soon after he had given God thanks for the good example of dear Dr. Wells. This man coming to his parish two years before, had found the wise and far-sighted work of his predecessor burdened with such honest, but par- tially unexpected indebtedness as changed times had brought upon many of the parishes all over the land. The time came last autumn when about $2,000 of this indebtedness must be raised to avert disaster. He did not create the obhgation; but it was Christ's cross that lay athwart his path, to remove it. First letting it cost himself more, perhaps, than he would expect of any one else, he then roused the hearts of all, even to the children, of his flock and they responded nobly. Then strengthened as he supposed in his gentleness and modesty, by a statement and commendation from his bishop, he went from door to door in Boston, to let oth- ers bear the burden with him, and so fulfill the law of Christ. From a few he received refusals which pained him; from a few, good advice against parishes get- ting into debt; from others modest offerings toward his longed-for getting out of debt and saving a valuable church property. Twice he broke in his weary rounds; but at last he succeeded and went home with a church property saved and his life given for it." After a few weeks of exhaustion and suffering the Rev. Frederic Augustus Fiske, rector of Grace Church, North Attleboro, died Dec. IS, 1878, and was buried by one and other brethren amidst a town full of mourners. He was a man of manly and strong piety, clear and happy in his convictions and of willing and unwearying labor. His wife and son Frederic Elisha Fiske survive him. He d. Dec. 15, 1878; res.

Upton, Mass., Jan. 23, 1817; m. there June 12, 1838, Lydia C. Wood. Mr. Fisk was born at Upton, Mass., and received a common school education. At the age of six- teen he entered upon his business career by accepting a clerkship. He married Lydia C. Wood, and soon after embarked in business for himself. In 1853 Mr. Fisk came to Chicago, and with B. M. Fisk and J. E. L. Eraser opened the first millinery house in Chicago on Wells St., between Lake and South Water, under the now familiar firm name of D. B. Fisk & Co. The business continued to grow through Mr. Fisk's energy, until it became the largest millinery establish- ment in the world. Mr. Fisk had never known a sick day until about three weeks before his death when he caught a bad cold, which developed into bron-. chitis. He was not, however, confined to his home. Nothing serious was antici- pated until a short time before he died when a decided change for the worse oc- curred. He became unconscious and so remained until death came. Mr. Fisk was a lover of outdoor sports, and a member of the Chicago, Calumet and Wash- ington Park Clubs, yet he was in no sense a club man, nor was he what is known as a society man. He was devoted to his home, and there were very few pleas- ures that could draw him away from his fireside. The remains were taken from the family residence, 2100 Calumet Ave., to Rosehill, for burial. None but the family and a few intimate friends were present. The funeral services were held at the residence. Rev. Thomas C. Hall, pastor of the 41st Street Presbyterian Church, officiating. The members of the old Tippecanoe Club were present. He d.

She came north in 1859 with her baby son, and the second child was born in Upton. His store was seized by the Confederate army and he was forced into the ranks as a surgeon; was captured by the Federal army in Red River, and was in prison some time; finally exchanged, and came north in 1865; lived in Upton about one year; then he moved to Springfield, where he went into the publishing business (subscription books), D. B. Fisk & Co. In a few years went into the grocery business on North Main St., for several years, then took in a partner who took him in and did him up. In 1874 went to Worcester and took charge of a drug store, oldest in the city; remained there until 1891, when, owing to ill health and change in firm, he resigned, and did nothing until 1895, now running drug store in Worcester; res. 351 Park Ave., Worcester, Mass. 3333- i- HARRISON RANSON, b.

He studied law, but after a long and serious illness abandoned the profession and entered the itinerant ministry in 1818, when he was licensed as a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church. He took high rank as a pulpit orator, was pas- tor for two years in Craftsbury, Vt., and in 1819, removed to Charlestown, Mass. At the conference of 1820 he was admitted into full membership, ordained as a deacon in 1822, and from 1823 till 1827 was presiding elder of the Vermont district, which then comprised the whole of Vermont east of the Green Mountains. He was placed upon the superannuated list, but was requested, in so far as health would allow, to act as agent for Newmarket Academy, at that time the only Methodist institution in New England, dress of welcome to Lafayette in 1824. He was also a delegate to the general con- ference in that year, and was chosen to write the address to the British conference. He was chaplain of the Vermont Legislature in 1826, and was one of the founders and principal of the Wesleyan Academy in Wil- While here he was chosen to make the ad- braham, Mass., 1826-31, and a delegate to the general conference of 1828, when he was elected bishop of the Canada conference but declined. In 1829 he also refused the presidency of La Grange College, Alabama, and a pro- fessorship in the University of Alabama. In 1830 he was chosen first president of the Wesleyan University, in whose organization he had materially aided. The duties of that office were entered upon in 1831; the institution under his direction became the most influential of any in the Methodist denomination in America. At the general conference in 1832 his appeals in behalf of Indian missions resulted in the organization of the Oregon mission, and he was at this time instrumental in founding Williamstown Academy. For years he was useful to educational in- terests at large by recommending or furnishing professors and presidents to the rapidly multiplying colleges of the far west. In search of health, he passed the winter of 1835-6 in Italy, and the summer of 1836 in England, when he also repre- sented the M. E. Church of the Wesleyan conference as a delegate. He was elected bishop of that church in 1836, but declined. In 1839 he became a member EEV. WILBUR rISK, D. n., LLD. 348 FISKE GENEALOGY. of the board of education of Connecticut. He was said to be unsurpassed in elo- quence and fervor as a preacher, and was often compared to Fenelon, being en- dowed with like moral and mental traits. The degree of D. D. was conferred on him by Augusta College, Kentucky, in 1829, and LL. D. by Brown in 1835. His published works are: "Inaugural Address" (New York, 1831); "Calvinistic Contro- versy" (1837); "Travels in Europe" (1838); "Sermons and Lectures on Universal- ism: Reply to Pierpont on the Atonement, and other Theological and Educa- tional Works and Sermons." His account of his European travels had a wide cir- culation and was greatly admired. His "Life and Writings" were published by the Rev. Joseph Holdich, D. D. (New York, 1842).

Among the truly representative men of St. Lawrence county, Avhose life and character entitle them to record on the pages of history, was the late Orin M. Fisk, Esq., who during his life deservedly held a prominent position in the community in which he lived. He was born in De Kalb, N. Y., Apr. 25, 1807, and after a brief life of usefulness died at his home in De Kalb, Jan. 20, 1857, much lamented by kindred and friends, he was a man of more than ordinary ability in all the vocations of life, and could never say no to the needy and destitute. His adhesions to the principles of honor were so strong that nothing could break them, and money would not tempt him to do a wrong act. In early life he devoted con- siderable time to teaching and bore the enviable reputation of being one of the finest penman in St. Lawrence county, consequently under the earnest solicitatioire of the various school districts of De Kalb he gave instructions which were long cherished by those who were so fortunate as to come under his tuition. In later years he was successful in doing business as a merchant in De Kalb, as one of the firm of Fisk & Slosson; still later he opened a store at Cooper's Falls. At the or- ganization of the De Kalb works at this place he was chosen as its head man- ager, investing $10,000 of his capital towards a grist mill, which was said to be one of the finest in the county, but was subsequently burned down some years after his death. He was for a long period agent for several of the original pro- prietors of land in St. Lawrence county, among which were Frederic De Peyster and W. C. H. Wadell, of New York City. In politics he was formerly a member of the Whig party, but joined the Republican organization on its formation. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for many years, and in 1847 was elected supervisor of the town of De Kalb, which office he held till his death, in 1857. It is needless to add any enconium to Orin M. Fisk's reputation as a man and worthy citizen, as the foregoing record amply testifies to his worth, and the estimation in which he was held by his fellow citizens. Although not a member of any church, he exhibited a Christian principle in all his dealings, and many can testify to the timely aid received from his hands in their direst extremity. He d.

Y., and subsequently was on a visit to his half brothers and sisters west, when he enlisted in the Fourth Iowa Cavalry.

Possessing a deli- cate constitution, he soon fell a victim to that relent- less scourge, chronic diarrhoea. He lingered for many months, subject to sanitary treatment, till at length an honorable dis- charge relieved him from the stern duties of military life. Buoyed up by his indomitable will, though physically incapaci- tated to endure the fatigue of travel, he soon reached the home of his childhood. Here, the mere shadow of his former pres- ence, he greeted his doting mother, a loving sister, and a younger brother. 340s. vii. WM. C. H. WADELL, b. Nov. 29, 1855; d. Jan. 21, i860. 3406. viii.

Clinton Bowen Fisk.— A Life-Sketch of the Prohibition Party's Probable Standard-Bearer. — A Typical American Life — From a Log Cabin to Positions of National Honor — His Early Struggles for an Education — Walking Twenty Miles to Learn How to Pronounce a Latin Diph- thong — His Creditable Record in the Civil War and After — • Endearing Himself to Whites and Blacks in the South — His Intimate Friendships with Lin- coln, Grant and Greeley — A Splendid Business Career Side by Side With Noble Christian Activities. The Voice, New York City, May 15, 1888, said: In a conspicuous box at the Metropolitan Opera House, on Monday night, May 14, as the great Prohibition rally there drew near its close, a man sat down and looked out with; swift interest upon that vast as- semblage. It was near eleven o'clock, and he had just come from a down-town appoint- ment so binding he could not sooner get release. At the wide street entrance only some stragglers appeared, and he had sought the special box assigned him, half believing that because of storm and small attendance the meeting had early broken up, and he should find but vacancy and darkness. When he entered and took his seat, his beaming blue eyes ranged over the stage below him, packed with well-known Prohibitionists, and thence over the spacious auditorium facing them, crowded in all its five great galleries with men and women whose enthusiasm was electric. Scores of people near by observed this man, with whose form they had grown familiar. The atten- tion of hundreds more was speedily drawn to him. And all whose gaze turned that way beheld a gentleman of portly build, with rather short gray beard, partly veiHng a face roundish in outline, rising to a forehead high and intellectual. The rather rotund figure and the genial countenance were suggestive of comfortable living, little care and happy temperament. From the gray whiskers, and the bald crown above them, one might have guessed this gentleman past middle life, though surely not yet old. Who was he? The crowd soon told his name. When Professor Dickie's clear, masterful voice rang out its final word, with one mighty volume of sound the shout went up for "Fisk!" "Fisk!" The man in the box was wanted upon the platform. These many years, indeed, he has been wanted there, at any gathering of which he might form part, whatever its occasion or character. His wonderful aptness of extempore address, his choice command of language, his unfailing good humor, and his magnetic charm, have made him a general favorite in ecclesiastical bodies, in party gatherings, and in commercial assemblies, whenever speech-making came in order. There is no man in all our country more popular as an ofif-hand talker than Gen. Fisk; no man, it may be added, whose talking gifts have been tested in vl\\5Xji\J^ 'S.

He could speak to his newly recruited regiment of soldiers in St. Louis with such persuasiveness that they agreed he should do all their swearing, well aware he would not swear a word. In camp, at the front, he could lead a prayer meeting with tender exhortation and fervent appeal. When reconstruction days came on he could gather thousands, white and black, upon some Southern plantation, and win them to ready acceptance of the great change from slavery to freedom. And in these later years. South and North, at the general conference of his church, as a fraternal delegate with Southern brethren, in the great convention at Pittsburg which nominated St. John, at some great business banquet where capital massed itself, or where old army comrades met in annual reunion — oftener than almost any other American he has been called to say the word most fitting, to lend the final grace of flowing rhetoric and felicitous quotation. Upon this night of particular reference, in the great opera house of this great metropolis, it was not so much that another speech was wanted — for four speeches had been heard already — as that the vast audience desired to recognize and salute, in this genial man of gracious manner and warm heart, the next probable standard bearer of Prohibition — the almost inevit- able nominee for President by the Prohibition party. And their greeting was such as to honor and exalt the most princely. Under its inspiration thousands of pulses leaped aflame and glowed with sudden fire. It was magnificent. It was thrilling. Could she have lived to see it, how glad and proud one woman must have been I Her name was Lydia Aldrich when a girl in Rhode Island; she was the wife of Capt. Benjamin Fisk when on the 8th of December, 1828, she gave to the world a boy they christened Clinton Bowen. That was in the little hamlet known a^ Griggs- ville, town of York, Livingston County, N. Y. Clinton Bowen was the fifth male child born to this pair of young Puritans since they had settled in the Genesee Valley. Half his patronymic came from New York's "Canal Governor," De Witt Clinton; the other half was from the mother's family tree. It was a humble home wherein the boy saw dayhght first, but in a region beautiful and fertile, though sparsely peopled then. His father was a man of local reputation, and getting on fairly well for one in so new a country. He was a blacksmith, wagon-maker, and miscellaneous manufacturer, for quite an area round about. He trained with the military, as was natural, for his grandfather had been under Washington. And sometimes, on general training days, as was also natural, he took a little stronger drink than his son ever taices, for even a deacon could do it then and not lose religious caste. When his fifth and youngest boy was less than two years old, Capt. Fisk removed to Michigan. Better opportunities were there to be found, in his opinion, for building the fortune his growing family must need. He turned some modest savings into timber land in the wilderness county of Lenawee, bought out a mechanic who had located five mile north of Tecumseh, on the river Raisin, and there, surrounded by not unfriendly Pottawattomie Indians, set about fortune-making. The new place thus established he called Clinton, in honor of the Governor left behind and the baby brought along. Two years later, poisoned with the malaria then so pervading that whole region, he sickened and died, leaving his wife Lydia with yet another babe to care for, and at the mercy of conditions most unkind. Mistress Lydia did the best she could for her six fatherless boys and with her untilled lands. Losses came, lands went, times grew hard. One by one the lads were put out to earn their own support, and Clinton's turn to go came at last. He was then but 9 years old, yet eager to help his mother and to make a chance for himself. When Farmer Wright offered a horse, a saddle, a bridle, two suits of clothes, one hundred dollars, and three months of "schooling" every year, if he would serve him till 21, Clinton saw his chance. To him the "schooling" was powerful inducement. He hungered for knowledge, young as he then was. He left mother and home even cheerfully, and wondered why his mother so often put her apron to her eyes after he bade her good-bye, as he rode away. He lived with Deacon Wright between two and three years, busied in the many ways a chore-boy can be occupied on the farm. But he grew ambitious for wider things. He craved better chances still. By hook and crook (though he hooked none of them) he had obtained a few books, and read them stretched out upon the broad hearthstone before a huge fireplace. There he had learned to write — that hand- some back-hand script his correspondents know so well — using the hearthstone for a copy-book; and on this novel slate he had wrought out the problems Daboll gave. Verily, "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." It made this young lad rest- 352 FISKE GENEALOGY. less, dissatisfied and eager. Then his younger brother died, and the widowed mother grew so lonesome that she secured his release from the contract binding him out, and Clinton returned to her, sure the broader chances which he hungered for were waiting not far ahead. We have not the space here to detail his varied struggles to secure an educa- tion during the next ten years. They form a long and interesting chapter in the full biog;-aphy which has been written. He had pluck, push and persever- ance. Chiefly he was self-taught. He earned his own text-books and studied them in his own way much of the time. As he had secured his first coveted volume ^a mutilated Shakespeare — by hoeing corn for a neighbor, so he bought a Latin grammar by special effort and sacrifice. He caught a coon, like many another lad of twelve, but hoping, as few lads would, to realize upon him for educational ends. By patient applications he made the coon expert at many things, and came to love him as a boy might. Then he walked with his pet to Jackson, a half-day's journey, and sold him as a trick animal to the circus which exhibited there, that "Anthon's Latin Lessons" might be his. So he lost the pet he loved, but gained the book he coveted. It was not easy to study Latin alone, unaided. But at night, in front of the fireplace, and by day while a-field, with the help of written slips prepared for such field service the night before, he plodded on through nouns and verbs, declensions and conjugations. The Latin dipthong troubled him as to pro- nunciation, but his pluck conquered it. Nobody near him knew a Latin word, but by chance he learned of another boy studying the language who was to be at a camp-meeting ten miles distant. To meet that boy he walked the twenty miles of that round trip, and he fairly hugged himself the whole way home because of his success in pumping the boy dry of Latin information without telling how little he really knew himself. When he was 13 years old his mother married William Smith, a well-to-do farmer living at Spring Arbor, in Jackson county, and for awhile he had better advantages, which faithfully he improved. His stepfather liked him, and wished him to have the most liberal college education. AH the plans were laid for him to enter Wesleyan Seminary at Albion, in preparation for Michigan Central College, now at Hinsdale, when Mr. Smith died. Again his dream of fine opportunities was broken, but again he set manfully about making the best of things. His twice-widowed mother removed to Albion, where and near where Clinton studied and labored and taught. He achieved first place in Latin and Greek, and, spite of many obstacles, was going forward well toward graduation there, when utter disaster befell him on this line. Hard study by night, and the intense heat of firelight, by which, as a boy, so much study had been done, bore fruit in disease of the eyes, so acute and continued that study became impossible, and with keen, lasting regret, he abandoned his fondest hope. At Albion he met Miss Jeanette A. Crippen and her brother, fellow-students, «nd after college dreams were over he took up mercantile business with Miss Crippen's father and brother at Coldwater. In 1850 he married Miss Crippen, whose bright black eyes had fascinated him in recitation hours, and so perfected a partnership which brought him compensation for loss of college honors. Mr. Crippen was the leading merchant and banker of that region, and the firm of Crippen & Fisk kept and increased the commercial standing and enterprise of L. D Crippen & Co. Clinton B. Fisk's adaptability, goodfellowship and swift business sagacity came into full play. He grew prosperous rapidly, and was known through all that country round. Success attended every step he took. He mingled in or led every social and religious movement. He bought a farm near Coldwater and made it the premium farm of that county. He was versatile, far-sighted for- tunate. Then came the financial crash of 1857. Banks went down on every hand, business firms failed everywhere. Creditors could not pay. Loans were not collected. Friends advised him to suspend and so protect himself; but Mr Fisk would not. His bank paid dollar for dollar to the end. But when the end came, though he had some money left, he was without health. That year of constant overwork and terrible strain had broken his hardy constitution and bankrupted his nervous resources. He lay by some months ensuing, and in 1858 took up residence in bt. Louis, as western financial agent of the Etna Insurance Company. I-or a year more he traveled widely the whole length and breadth of the Mississippi \ alley and contiguous States. He made broad acquaintance with men, from Abraham Lincoln at his home in Illinois to the humblest planter on a Mississippi bottom. Health came back. New opportunities for usefulness opened before FISKE GENEALOGY. 363 him. He was growing ripe for the richest work a patriot could do. The business men of St. Louis knew and admired him. In the church life there he was a vital force. With i860 came mutterings of war. Mr. Fisk knew the South and the North. He foresaw conflict and helped make ready for it. He enlisted as a private for three months, and helped capture a camp secretly formed outside the city. The Merchants' Exchange, of vast commercial influence, grew doubtful for the Union and was likely to cast all its weight upon the disunion side. He called a meeting of seceders from the Exchange and organized a Union rival to it which swallowed the old organization completely. He spoke, he wrote, he worked for the cause of right. By birth a Puritan and an Abolitionist, he could do no less. Even as a boy he had been with the Abolition army in politics, small as it was. In 1840 the boys all round him were Whigs, and carried their banner "for Tippecanoe and Tyler, too;" but he raised a solitary flag for Birney and Mor- ris, and bore it to victory. To victory, because he had to fight for the privilege to carry it at all, and won his first conflict in life on that very issue. It wasn't much of a flag — three-fcurths of a yard of white cotton cloth, bought with the sale of molasses candy, painted with axle grease, and affixed to a broomstick — not much of a flag, but dear to the boy whose ingenuity devised and whose patriotism bore it. A little dearer than ever, may be, after his mother had spanked him for spoil- ing her broom. In July of 1862, at President Lincoln's request, he set about re- cruiting a regiment. Back of him loyally stood the Union Merchants' Exchange, with money to assist. September saw it mustered in and at the front. Then he re- cruited a brigade, and was commisisoned Brigadier-General, Nov. 24, 1862. One month later he proceeded with his full command to Helena, Ark., and until June, 1863, he was on duty in the Department of the Tennessee, where Grant was seeking to capture Vicksburg. After that his service was continuously in Missouri till the war closed. He was some months in command of all southeast Missouri, with headquarters at Pilot Knob, and for a time had charge of certain very lawless north- western counties, which he made orderly and inhabitable. Later he commanded the District of St. Louis, comprising all the territory before in separate districts. When Sterling Price attacked the State capital. General Fisk was ordered to pro- tect it, and met the emergency with cool tact and judgment. The forces of Price were led by Marniaduke and Shelby, and commanded in person by Price. General Fisk had only a handful of troops, but, by strategy, he multiplied them to the ears of Price, and raised such defenses as gave color to these fictitious reports. The first assault was met gallantly, and Price retreated with his large force. Fisk ordered a pursuit and Shelby and. Marmaduke were captured; the capital was saved. In February, 1865, he was made Major-General of the Missouri militia, and one month later Andrew Johnson commissioned him Major-General by brevet "for faithful and meritorious services during the war." In May that year he was assigned to special duty as Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, in which im- portant and delicate capacity he served till September, 1866. The entire States of Kentucky and Tennessee, and parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas were under his jurisdiction. Through all that once rich territory devastation reigned. The negroes, freed, were largely unwilling to work, and their notions of what they should have and should do, were extravagant, often absurd. To restore confi- dence between white and black, to readjust the relations of society, and to bring about that industrial status which was imperative, was the task General Fisk took up. He gave it the best work in his power. Mild in his methods, calm always in judgment, decisive as to conclusions, judicial in mental habit, he was at once in his own person a court of just appeal, and a commission to execute. He won common respect. Going up and down the region under his command, he in- vited before him the former master and slave, set forth to their mutual under- standing the law governing both, and the whole facts relating to their mutual interest. He made each his friend. More than any other one man, it is safe to say, he made possible the rehabilitation of Southern fields, and the sure beginning of a better future. Out of this work grew, naturally, the institution of learning for colored youth, known now as Fisk University, at Nashville. General Fisk early saw the need of such liberal helps for the Freedmen, and his influence has been constant in their behalf. Throughout the South today his name is held in reverence among the blacks, and is mentioned in terms of candid respect and confidence by the whites. General Fisk resigned from the army in the fall of 1866, after over four years' unremitting service, and .since then has been busily occupied with railroad. 354 FISKE GENEALOGY. banking and ecclesiastical affairs. For eight years he was treasurer of the Missouri and Pacific Railroad; since 18/9 he has resided in New Jersey, with headquarters in New York. In Missouri he declined all political honors when urged upon him. In 1884 he came out from the Republican party, whose great leaders — Lincoln, Grant, Greeley, and others — had been his intimate friends, and supported St. John. Two years ago he consented, as a matter of duty and sacrifice, to Jead the Prohibi- tion campaign in New Jersey, and as candidate for Governor polled about 20,000 votes — a three-fold increase of the vote previously cast. In that campaign he made one hundred and twenty-five engagements to speak, filled them all, and was never five minutes late. To meet these he traveled five thousand miles. Scrupulous of his every duty, considerate of all men, the soul of personal honor, sensitive as a woman, Clinton B. Fisk shrinks from political warfare, and protests against his preferment as a political leader. The most conspicuous layman in the Methodist Church, to which, as a boy of 10, he gave himself, he gives to religious and de- nominational progress his chief concern; but he sees how closely the church of God is related to this question of the ages, and his whole heart is alive, his entire nature consecrated, to the fight mow up for settlement along political lines. He will refuse no clear call of duty, whatever to him the cost Gen. Fisk actively aided, as stated above, in establishing Fisk University, Nash- ville, Tenn., in 1865, and it was named for him. He had been identified with its financial and educational interests, and was president of its board of trustees. He was also a trustee of Dickinson College, of Drew Theological Seminary, and also of Albion College, Michigan. He was trustee of the American Missionary Asso- ciation, and also a member of the book committee of the M. E. Church. He ren- dered conspicuous service in Methodism in his efforts toward a reunion of the Northern and Southern branches of the church. He was also identified with the temperance movement. From 1874 to his death he was president of the board of Indian commissioners. He was the Prohibition nominee for President of the United States at one time. He d. July 9, 1890; res. New York. N.

His father was the village blacksmith as well as farmer. Nathan received a liberal education for the times, learned his father's trade but took to farming after his marriage in 1828 to Rebecca Whitehill Cowan. He was frequently elected or appointed to local office by his neighbors and friends, who held him in high esteem. He was one who had a happy faculty of looking on the bright side of passing events and was charitable to a fault.

He made the first pairs of pegged shoes and boots that were made in that county. He also erected several mills and dwelling houses. In 1824 he moved to Cincinnati, O. When he went there he engaged in the grocery business, but as he was not busy all the time, he put in his spare time at his old trade, shoemaking, but he was interrupted so much that he soon quit it. Soon after he went to work at the joiner's trade; from that to pattern making in David Powell's machine shops; soon afterwards he was transferred to the construction of steam engines department. For several years he was fore- man of the shop. His son, Eli Cooley, was born there. In 1834 he was burned out, while Mrs. Fisk and Eli C. went back East.

After visit- ing California in the interest of the firm, he withdrew from the hardware business and engaged in the manufacture of fish oil and guano at Bristol Ferry, R.

Sept. 2, 1762; m. at Worcester, June 9, 1796, Sarah Duncan, b. 177S; d. Apr. 22, 1855, in Roxbury at her daughter's home. She was the daughter of Mr. Andrew Duncan, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, who in company with his countryman, Wm. Campbell, established himself in trade in Worcester before the Revolution and married Sarah, daughter of Joseph Lynde, Esq., of Charlestown. The loyalty of Mr. Campbell compelled him to leave the country and settle in Nova Scotia, where for more than twenty years he was Mayor of St. John. He died in 1823, aged 82. Mr. Duncan shared the same political feeling, but continued to reside in Worcester under unfavorable influences. He was drowned in a fishing excursion on Quinsigamond Lake, soon after the termination of the war. Mrs. Fiske was his only daughter. Dr. Oliver Fiske, son of Rev. Nathan Fiske, was born in Brookfield, Mass. His early education was superintended by his father, whose productive farm, dur- ing most of the Revolutionary war was from necessity, principally confided to his management. In the summer of 1780 a requisition for recruits for the Rev- olutionary war was made. The quotas of men had thus far been furnished without comfiulsory process; but levies had been so frequent that none would enlist freely. 3727. I. 3728. 11. 3729. 111. 3730. IV. 3731- V. 3732.

Exempted by the courtesy ex- tended to clergymen from military duty, and never having been enrolled, Dr. Fiske offered himself as volunteer, with the approbation of his father, who applauded the patriotic spirit, while the personal sacrifice it involved was severely felt. Animated by the example, the requisite number came from the ranks on the parade. The regiment in which they were embodied was ordered to West Point, and was stationed in the vicinity of that post at the de- fection of Arnold and the capture and execution of Andre. On being discharged he returned to the farm, and was employed in its cultivation until the close of the war in 1783, when he entered Harvard College. At the breaking out of Shays' insurrection he was instrumental in reorganiz- ing the Marti-Mercurian Band of the university, in obtaining an order from Gov. Bowdoin for sixty stands of arms at Castle William, and was second officer of the company. When the court commenced at Concord he was the organ of a pe- tition from this corps, to march in support of government, which was properly declined by the authorities of the institution. In the winter vacation (1786-7) he took a school at Lincoln, but hearing of the threatened movements of the malcontents to stop the judicial tribunals at Worcester, he procured a substitute to assume his engagements, exchanged the ferrule for an appropriate weapon and hastened to Worcester. Finding the enemy dispersed and the troops on their way to Springfield he set out to visit his father. On the heights of Leicester the report of Gen. Shepherd's artillery diverted him from his course. Uniting himself to a body of light horsemen, then en route, he joined Gen. Lincoln's army. When the rebellion was suppressed he re- sumed his studies, without censure for the long absence, and graduated in 1787. After the usual preparation, under the tuition of Dr. Atherton of Lancaster, he commenced business in Worcester in October, 1790. _ _ He was active in forming a county medical association, and in obtainmg the establishment of the present district organization of the Massachusetts Medical Society. Soon after the formation of the last named body in the second medical district, he was elected president and held the offices of councillor and censor until he retired from the profession. In February, 1803, he was appomted special justice of the court of common pleas. During five years succeeding 1809 he was member of the executive council. The commissions of Justice of the Peace, of the Quorum, and throughout the commonwealth, were successively re- ceived, and the latter has been renewed to the present time. Dr. Fiske was corresponding secretary of the Linnaean Society of New Eng- land in 181 5, of the Worcester Agricultural Society from 1824, and councillor of the American Antiquarian Society. He was Register of Deeds during the triennial term from 1816 to 1821. From this period an increasing defect in the sense of hearing induced him to retire from busy life and devote himself to the pursuits of horticulture and agriculture, those employments, in his own graceful language, the best substitute to our progenitors for their loss of Paradise, and the best solace to their posterity for the evils they entailed. The results of that taste and skill in his favorite occupations, early imbibed, ardently cherished and successfully cultivated, have been freely and frequently communicated to the public m many essays, useful and practical in matter and singularly elegant in manner. He pub- lished an oration delivered at Worcester in 1797, an essay on Spotted Fever, forming part of the "Transactions of the Massachusetts Medical Society, and other writings. , , , ■ a ^- 1 By the exertions of Dr. Oliver Fiske the most respectable and influential physicians of the country assembled and formed the Worcester Medical Society Dec. 18, 1794. Dr. John Frink, of Rutland, was elected president and Dr. Fiske, of Worcester, secretary. At an early meeting a petition presented to the Legislature for incorporation was referred to a joint committee of physicians and resulted in an arrangement to enlarge the numbers of the general society and a proposal to create district associations. This system, removing the evils which had been felt was mutually satisfactory, was carried into efifect, and on the 26th of Sept. 1804 the Worcester District Society was organized. The succession of presidents has 'been as follows: I794, John Frink; 1803, Israel Atherton; 1806, Oliver Fiske. He d in Boston, Jan. 2S, 1837; res. Worcester and Boston, Mass. 3739. i. ANDREW WM.

He was graduated at Harvard University in the class of 1831; was admitted to the bar in 1834, and practiced for a few years, after which he gave his attention to horticulture and farming. He was called into public service in 1856 as a member of the Legislature, and was a member of the Board of Aldermen in 1858-59, and was elected Mayor of the city in 186^3-64. He be- came a director in the Boston & Albany Railroad corporation in 1858, and was its vice-president and president in 1878, which office he held at his death which took place accidentally at New London, Conn., in 1880. During his term of ^ayor the duties of the office were quite arduous owing to the Civil war. Gov. Andrew regarded Mayor Lincoln as a model Mayor and of great assistance to him in many ways during those trying times; ch.: Frances Merrick, b. July i, 1843; res. 39 Cedar St., Worcester.

THADDEUS FISKE (Jonathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Na- than, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. June 22, 1762, in Weston; m. June 17, 1787, Lucy Clarke, b. May 2, 1767, dau. of Rev. Jonas Clarke, of Lex.; d. Mar. 9, 1855. Her great-grandmother was Lucy Hancock, sister of Rev. John Hancock, father of the signer of the Declaration of Independence. The Rev. Thaddeus Fiske, in an account of himself and ancestry appended to a "Sermon delivered at West Cambridge, Apr. 13, 1828," at the close of his ministry, and published at Boston by Charles C. Little and James Brown, 1843, states: "I was born on the 22d of June, 1762. At the age of 17 I began to prepare for college under the tuition of Rev. Mr. Samuel Woodward, who was an able instructor and linguist, the minister of Weston, my native town. I was offered by him for examination, and was admitted a student of Harvard University in July, 1781, and graduated in 1785." After he had taken his degree, he taught a grammar school in Lexington, and boarded in the family of the Rev. Jonas Clark. He returned to the university in Cambridge, and studied divinity under Rev. Prof. Wigglesworth, and was licensed to preach Aug. 8, 1786, by the "Association of Ministers in and about Cambridge." He preached his first sermon in his native town, and after supplying several vacant parishes, was invited in March, 1787, to preach to the Second Congregational Church and Society in Cambridge, then called Menotomy, now "West Cam- bridge." On July 16, 1787, he received a call to settle as their minister. "I hesi- tated," he said, "for some time, whether to decline or to accept their invitation. The parish was very small and poor and considerably involved in debt, having been destitute of a settled minister about six years, and was in a broken state, very much reduced in numbers and property. It was generally thought doubtful whether they would be able to support a minister, or pay the small salary they offered me. But it was feared by many, and so stated to me, that if I gave a neg- ative answer, the church and society would not make any further effort to obtain a minister, and would be broken up and dissolved." He accepted their invitation, and was ordained Apr. 23, 1788. Having cast his lot with the "Second Church and Congregation in Cambridge," he immedi- ately endeavored to allay the difficulties that obstructed their prosperity. He began by relinquishing a part of his salary. To supply the deficiency of his support, he boarded and instructed children and youth, and some he prepared for admission to college; he instructed many daughters of his parishioners, and other young ladies of the neighboring towns. Though this employment occupied much of his time, yet he was enabled to perform the usual duties of a minister, and to study and write and preach upward of twelve hundred sermons during his ministry. He visited and taught his flock from house to house, gave religious instruction to youth, and continued the prac- tice adopted by his predecessor, the Rev. Samuel Cooke, of meeting the children annually, and oftener. for the purpose of examining and assisting them in their knowledge of the assembly's catechism, which was universally taught then by their parents and heads of families. Sabbath schools were designed at first to aid this practice. He assisted in defraying the current expenses of the parish; he con- tributed fifty dollars toward furnishing a new house of worship, built in 1805 ; he remitted annually, during his ministry, the parish taxes of many individuals who were either unable or unwilling to pay their annual assessments; he gave fifty dol- lars in aid and support of a singing school for the service of the house of wor- ship, and ten dollars toward purchasing an octavoviol for the use of the singers; had a set of curtains put in the foreseat of the front gallery for the singers' con- venience, and the pulpit painted at his expense. He commenced, in 1806, the establishment of a social library, and took the entire care of it in his house, and delivered books to the proprietors for more than twenty years without compensa- tion. This and other things he did; and hence, in a few years, "the appearance of the town, and the morals, and habits of the people," were changed for the better, and "its favorable aspect induced many mdividuals and families of other towns to come and settle in the place and aid and share in its growing prosperity." He received from his people at the same time "many tokens of their respect and benevolence," and enjoyed his full share of "their regards and affections." In 1788 the Rev. Mr. Fiske became a member of the Board of Overseers of Harvard University. In 1821 he was honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Columbia College, New York. He voluntarily resigned his pastoral 376 FISKE GENEALOGY. office and charge Apr. 23, 1828, leaving a church of about one hundred members and a congregation of about five hundred souls for his successor. Such is the substance of the narrative of this aged minister, appended to the discourse delivered at the close of his ministry. The text of this farewell dis- course was Acts xxr, 18-21. Subject: The Life and Character of St. Paul, a Model for Christian Ministers. During his ministry he baptized 749; number of funerals he attended, 666; admissions to the church (including those owning their cove- nant), 288; joined in marriage, 386 couples. He lived to see five ministers succes- sively ordained over this society, three of whom died before him; was at the time of his death the oldest clergyman in Massachusetts. A marble monument marks the spot of his burial in Arlington's old burying ground, amid the members of his flock. In i;88 he wrote as follows in accepting the call to the church: "To the peo- ple of the Church :ind Congregation of the North West Parish in Cambridge. In ■ answer to the invitation you have given me to settle with you in the work of the ministry. I, in the first place return you my most hearty thanks, especially for the ma: y instarces of your friendship, esteem and affection. The sincerity and ardency of your desires are completely manifested in the disposition you have shown, and your willingness to do whatever the heart of a reasonable man can wish. And in considering your invitation in every point of view, I find my duty and happiness unite in the acceptance. And as you have agreed to be satisfied in the choice of me as your minister, and being induced by the encouragement you have offered, and in confirmation of the contract we have made, I now accept of your invita- tion. And being fully convinced that in the promotion of your prosperity, peace and happiness, I shall increase my own, I do cheerfully devote myself, my strength and future years to you, my fathers arid brethren, in the service of my Maker, and our common Lord and Master. Under the protection and blessing of Almighty God, being assisted by Him who is the Great Shepherd and head of the Church, and being indulged with your prayers, I hope I may be a happy instrument as a minister of the Gospel, to advance the Redeemer's kingdom, and promote the glory of God in the world, that I may serve you faithfully all the appointed time of my days. And that in the morning of the Resurrection, I may be enabled to appear, and say, here. Lord, am I, and here are the souls which Thou hast given me- Thaddeus Fiske." Rev. Dr. Fiske's Resignation. May 8. 1828. The Rev. Dr. Fiske having pre- viously signified his wish to the parish to resign the pastoral office, he was this day regularly dismissed by vote of the parish. The parish at the same time gave an aflfectionate and respectful testimonial of the good character and long and faith- ful services of their pastor. For a full account of all the proceedings relative to the resignation of Dr. Fiske, see the Parish Records. May 14, 1828. At a meeting of the church — chose Jeduthun Wellington mod- erator and Miles Gardner clerk pro tem. On motion, voted unanimously that the followmg resolve be accepted and a copy of the same given to the Rev. Doctor Fiske, viz.: To all whom these presents may come. Whereas it has become expedient for reasons stated in a communication made to the church and congregation of West Cambridge, by the Rev. Dr. Fiske, Pastor of said church, that his pastoral relation be dissolved by mutual consent, and that Mr. Miles Gardner, the parish clerk, be a committee from the church to express to him the dre sense we have of his long and faithful services among us and the deep regret we feel that existing circum- stances should dissolve a union which has been so endearing to us by time. And during forty years of his ministry he has maintained a fair character as a man and as a Christian in the performance of his various and arduous duties; and has been an exan-p'e of the believer in the word, in conversation, in faith, in benevolence, in humialy, m purity, and in piety. And it is our ardent and fervent wish that his life may be prolonged to do good; that the infirmities of age may rest upon him ..■ with joy and hope. And that many blessings and comforts may attend him in his retirement from his pastoral labors among us. He d. Nov. 14, 1855; res. West Cambridge, Mass. 3750. i. HORATIO HANCOCK, b. June 22, 1790; m.

Of his ten children Josiah Jones and George Jenckes were members of the well known firm of James M. Beebe & Co., of Boston, and contributed largely to its success. Josiah was un- married and di;d in 1850. George died in Nice, France, in 1868, leaving a widow Frances Lathrop, daughter of James M. Beebe, a son George Stanley, born in Paris in 1867, and a daughter Esther Lathrop, born in Nice in 1868. He d. Aug. IS, 1858; res. Sturbridge, Mass. 3841. vii. ELIZABETH STANLEY, b.

Vernon, Me., for several years member of the Senate and House of Representatives of Maine. He d. in Boston, s. p., June 18, 1892. Joseph Norton received his enHy education at Day's Academy. In 1833 he entered the counting-room of Shaw, Patterson & Co., where he remained five years, and afterward became confi- dential clerk of the banking house of Geo, B. Blake & Co. In 1846 he became a member of the Boston Broker's Board, and opened a banking office on State Street. He met with great success during his active business life, his ventures prov- ing very lucrative. He enjoyed the highest confidence of the business public in a wonderful degree. This was due not only to his unquestionable personal integrity but also to his well known business methods and careful arrangement of his financial matters. While at times his operations were im- mense, his capital was invested in assets only of the highest character, so that he could in every emergency meet his obli- gations without inconvenience or sacrifice. He never specu- lated, and his connection with an enterprise was a guarantee that it was founded on sound business principles. He retired from active business in i8;o, spending the next three years in Europe, during which time he studied the financial affairs of Europe, making himself familiar with the moneyed interests of the old world. He was among the first of the large prop- erty holders to inaugurate the erection of the modern, palatial office buildings. In 1888 he erected on State Street the well known Fiske building, one of the finest buildings in Boston, a model of beauty and convenience. In richness of interior fin- ish and beauty of architecture it is unsurpassed in New Eng- land. Mr. Fiske devoted the remaining years of his life to the care of his extensive private business. Up to the very last of his life he enjoyed remarkable vigorous health, and his well preserved faculties of mind and body were a source of com- ment and congratulation. The illness which terminated in his death, June 18, 1892, was the result of a severe cold, which confined him to the house only ten days. Mr. Fiske was re- tiririg in his disposition, finding his chief enjoyment in his family. His sunny and kindly disposition rendered his home life a very happy one. His charities were unostentatious and seldom extended where publicity would be given to his acts. Deserving young people struggling to improve their condi- tion strongly appealed to his sympathies. He was a firm be- liever in the cardinal doctrines of Christianity and all his life was guided by their teachings and precepts. Though a Repub- lican in politics, he was never an intense partisan, nor did he have the least desire for public office. His aim was to dis- charge conscientiously the duties of a private citizen 3843- ii- HARNDON I., b. ; d. Feb. 24, 1816. -°- iii. HENRY A., b. Jan. 18, 1816; d. Feb. 21, 1840, in Liverpool, England.

He re- turned in 1850 and started again from Wilmington, sixty miles west of Chicago, 111., with a train of three wagons, across the great plains — a six months' tramp. He returned in 1855 and settled in Bil- lerica on his place which he has named "Elmore," from the fact that a group of four large American elms overshadow a beautiful lawn. The youngest tree was planted the same year as the erection of the house, in 1796. There he has for forty-one years tried to add to the agri- cultural products of our great and almost boundless country; res. Billerica, Mass. 4242. i. JOHN L.. b. Jan.

Dr. Fisk, died in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, while on a journey from Kentucky to New York. The subject of FISKE GENEALOGY. 409 this sketch received an excellent education, studied law and was in due course of time admitted to the bar. He has practiced since continuously, until his retire- ment, in the courts of the State of Kentucky. He has been one of the most prom- inent citizens in Covington, Ky. He has been president of two academies in Ken- tucky, president of the school board in Covington, Ky. ; several times attorney of the city — called city attorney; several times county attorney; eight years State Senator; part of the time president of the Senate and thus ex-officio Lieutenant- Governor. He has been through all the grades of Odd Fellowship, including Grand Master of this State — that is of the I. O. O. F., and Grand Representative of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, L O. O. F., of the United States; at present a director in the Covington and Cincinnati (Suspension) Bridge Company; director in the Covington Gas Company; director in the First National Bank of Covington, Ky. ; president of Highland Cemetery; president of the board of trustees of the First Christian Church, and vice-president of the Covington Protestant Children's Home. One of the religious papers in Kentucky in referring to Gov. Fisk says: "Last Saturday, Gov. John F. Fisk celebrated his 8oth birthday by a family re- union, at the old home on Eleventh Street. It was a very enjoyable affair. Brother Fisk has held many honorable positions in the gift of the people, and his family is one of which he can be justly proud. He has been one of the pillars of this church for many years, and we all hope he may be spared yet a long while to aid us by his counsel and timely advice. As was truly said at the reunion, he is the highest of God's creation — a Christian gentleman." In Jan., 1879, at the invitation of the Mexican minister, a company of merchants and others visited Mexico. There were nearly one hundred of them. The first night out of Chicago — the starting point — they organized under the name of "The American Industrial Deputation," elected officers, and appointed Governor Fisk president. Under this organization they visited Mexico as the guests of the Republic, remained there one month, being feasted by cabinet officers, by Hon. John W. Foster, the then American minister, and others. They returned via Vera Cruz and Galveston. Several years since, Diaz, the president of Mexico, visited several cities of the United States, Chicago among them. Governor Fisk was invited to meet President Diaz in Chi- cago, and did so. A banquet was given at the Palmer House, at which the Gov- ernor responded to one of the toasts; res. 13 W. nth St., Covington, Ky. 4248. i. CHARLES HENRY, b. Aug. 31, 1843; m. Margaret A.

Dec. 13, 1836; m. at Knowlton, Canada, June 5, i860, Ellen Maria Knowlton, b. Feb. 8, 1836. John Manson Fisk, the subject of this sketch, was born at Ab- botsford, P. Q., Dec, 13, 1836, and is the third son of Nathaniel Fisk and grand- son of Capt. Cotton Fisk, a United Em- pire Loyalist, who came from Epping, N. H., to Canada in 1788. John, one of the four, as soon as he was old enough, worked on the farm during the summer months and attended school in winter, finishing his education at the age of i& possession of his father's farm in 1840, he married Ellen Maria Knowlton, by which marriage there were ten children at the Granby Academy. Coming into born, five sons and five daughters, all attaining maturity, excepting the two youngest sons who died in infancy. As one of the leading agriculturists of his county, he has been called to fill various positions of trust,"doing duty for thirteen years as a member of the local council, a member of the school board, and fill- ing other minor positions in municipal office. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace by the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province in 1882. At an early period of his life he developed a taste for JOHN MAxsoN- FISK. horticultural pursuits, and for many- FISKE GENEALOGY. 411 years has been engaged in the nursery business, and as a fruit grower becoming an authority of some note on the fruits of his Province. United with others of sim- ilar tastes, who, in 1874, succeeded in organizing a Fruit Grower's Association at Abbotsford, he was elected one of its chief officers, and for several years has filled the position as president. This society published the first fruit list for the Province of Quebec in 1875, and for many years entered largely into experimental work and the introduction of new fruits, which have become widely known through the dis- semination of its trees and collections of fruits which have appeared on most of the exhibition tables of the Province from time to time, as well as on those of the Centennial at Philadelphia in 1876, the Intercolonial and Indian at London, Eng- land, in 1886, and the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893. Feeling the need of a Provincial organization and associating himself with other leading fruit growers of the Province, application was made to the Provincial Legislature for incorpora- tion, which was granted by the government in January, 1894, under the name of "The Pomological and Fruit Growing Society of the Province of Quebec." A meeting was convened during the following month at Abbotsford for the purpose of organizing and electing a board of directors, when Mr. Fisk was honored by becoming the first president of the new society. In politics a liberal conservative, and in religion an Episcopalian, having from early childhood been closely asso- ciated with St. Paul's Church, Abbotsford, and for over thirty-five years served as secretary-treasurer to the vestry, and for many years representing that body as lay delegate to the synod for the Diocese of Montreal; res.

Q., to attend the academy, returning home in the spring to help his father on the farm at Abbotsford. He went to Knowlton again the following fall for another winter in the academy, and it was after returning to Abbotsford again that he decided to study medicine, and immediately commenced work on the subjects necessary for his matriculation in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Province of Que- bec, studying evenings after the day's work on the farm was over. In Oct., 1890, he entered the high school at Granby, P. Q., and the following spring he took with honors the degree of associate in arts from McGill University. He continued his studies during the winter of 1891-92 at the Granby high school, and in May, 1892, successfully passed his matriculation for the study of medicine in the Province of Quebec. In Oct., 1892, he commenced the four years' course of medical study at Mc- Gill University, Montreal. During his final year there he was elected by his fellow students to the position of president of the Undergraduates Medical Society. Graduating with first class honors, he received from the university on the 31st of March, i8g6, the degree of doctor of medicine and master of surgery. Dr. Fisk then applied for the position of resident medical officer in the Montreal General Hospital, and stood first in the entrance examination given to the twenty-eight applicants by the Hospital Medical Board, thereby receiving the appointment for one year. 4272. ix.

His education was obtained at the public schools at Abbotsford, Granby, Lennoxville and McGill College, Montreal, all in the Province of Quebec, Canada. While at Lennoxville, in the fall of i8S7, he unfortunately met with an accident to his right knee which necessitated his using crutches for the two following years. In Jiine, i860, he went to England for a trip for his health, returning much benefited. In Dec, i860, he went to Montreal and entered the office of Dr. Aldis Bernard, surgeon dentist, to study said profession, and became a pupil of Dr. Bernard. After remaining with the doctor until the 21st of February, 1861, he was accepted and indentured to him for two years, having to pay him $200 and board himself; also having to attend lectures at McGill College, with the understanding that he was to become a partner at the end of the two years. Unfortunately when his time was up his health was so broken from hard study and work that his doctor ordered him out of the city and to take a long holiday. In May, 1863, he left the city and went knocking about the to-frnships, returning every few months to Dr. 4274. 4275- 4270. ni. 4277. IV. 4278. V. 4279. VI.

This went on until Oct., 1866, when he went to Waterloo, P. Q., and bought out A. A.

Q., Mar. 6, 1848; m. there June 4, 1872, Katherine S. Gil- lespie, b. there Nov. 12, 1849. Rev. Nathaniel B. Fisk was born in Abbotsford, P. Q., Mar. 4, 1848, son of Sewell Cotton Fisk and Mary Ann Gorton. In 1866 he entered the New Hampshire Conference Seminary, where he graduated, taking immediately thereafter the theological course at the Boston University, from which he gradu- ated in 1871. He was ordained a deacon in the Methodist Episcopal Church at Lynn, Apr. 6, 1873, and an elder at Springfield, Apr. 11, 1875. He has occupied stations in the New England Conference since 1871, all his pastorates being three years. He has had a grand record as pastor, winning all hearts to himself, and directly leading multitudes to the Savior of men. His preaching is strong, pathet- ic, convincing. He moves men. He is a man of intense energy and tireless in- dustry. This is his fourth year at Chicopee Falls, and the church under his lead has reached its most prosperous history, with a Sunday school of more than 300 members and a church membership of 275 members in full and 43 probation. It has today the largest Sunday school and largest congregation of any church in the city. He built a fine church at Upton, Mass. The elegant Grace Church at Cam- bridge, a $6,000 parsonage at Ashburnham, besides raising $14,000 to pay off the debt on the Ashburnham Church. He secured the gift of a $7,000 parsonage from his personal friend, Hon. Luman Tufts at Hudson. While at Grace Church, Cambridge, Mr. Fisk was invited by the pastor, official board and the presiding elder to take the assistant pastorate of People's Church, Boston, but declined. He was also offered the business management of the New England Conservatory of Music, having 2,250 pupils. Since coming to Chicopee Falls he has declined an offer of $4,000 per year, with a guarantee for five years, and also an interest in the business, if he would take charge of a stock company in Boston, as business man- ager. His record of 2,200 pastoral calls last year shows him to be abundant in labors. In 1872 Mr. Fisk was married to Miss Katherine Gillespie, who has la- bored with him earnestly in the gospel. In 1878 he enjoyed a protracted vacation 414 FISKE GENEALOGY. in Europe, visiting Scotland, England, Ireland, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany Prussia, Italy and France; res.

His life up to the death of his father in 1861 was a very easygoing, uneventful one, his time being mostly spent at the schools of the district and adjacent towns. Being the youngest son and at that period the only one at home, his father's death threw the care of the farm and postoffice upon him, and his life for a few years was an active and rather laborious one, but he found leisure to prosecute his studies and in 1865 he was indentured to Mr.' Houghton, barrister of Montreal, and entered upon the study of law at Mc- Gill College. In 1866 his articles of indenture were transferred to his cousin, John J. C. Abbott, Q. C, then the leading lawyer in the city and afterward Sir John Ab- bott, premier of the Dominion of Canada. In May, 1868, he received the degree of B. C. L. from McGill College, and in the month of December following was admitted to the practice of the law. After spending two years in the practice of his profession in Montreal, he removed to Coaticook in 1871 where he has since resided. He married Aleyda E. David, daughter of the late Lieutenant-Colonel David, of Montreal. After an active and successful practice of his profession for ten years he became interested in manufacturing industries, and in 1881 assumed the management of an extensive knitting indiistry in his town and is at present at the head of the Lenman Manufacturing Company there, a wealthy corporation con- trolling a number of factories both in this Province and in Ontario. He has taken an active interest in politics, and usually directs the political contests in his section of that county in the interests of the liberal conservative party; res. Coaticook, P. Q.

As no tidings have ever been received of him the family always supposed he was murdered.. He d. in Michigan; res. Moira, N. Y. 4397. i. ALMON PERRY, b, July 10, 1835. It is probable that Mr. Fisk has the distinction of being the oldest dry goods merchant in Rock Island coun- ty, 111. He is a native of Northern New York and spent the first ten years of his adult life in railway service. He then went to Geneseo, 111., and engaged in the dry goods business for ten years after, which he located in Moline, the date being 1873. As proprietor of the Bos- ton Store he has had several of the best lo- cations in the city and his removals have been due to the chang- ing course of business. The new store in the Rosenstein bock, which he will occupy before Nov. i, i8g6, is to be the most ele- gantly fitted and fur- nished store m that city. Mr. Fisk is a shrewd buyer. As a merchant he is successful and as a citizen has hosts of friends who hold him in high esteem. 4398. ii. AARON WM., b. July 24, 1831; m. Hannah Sweet Phillips. ALMON PEKKY FISK.

Gangrene set in before many weeks, and on Apr. 29, just three months after the accident, it was amputated; even then it did not get along well, for the arteries broke out and another operation was per- formed about four weeks after the first. He slowly regained his health, and for a few years could get around some on his crutches, when a more terrible afifliction overtook him; for the last five or six years of his life he was totally blind. At one time he had a fulling mill, on Otter Creek, in Vermont, while residing in Weybridge, but it was swept away in a freshet. He d. Dec. 18, 1863; res. Moira, N. Y. 4439. i. LORENZO CHAPIN, b.

May 29, 1816, Sarah Doolittle Brown, b. St. Johnsbury, Vt., Dec. 24, 1798; d. in Sparta, Wis., in July, 1877. Daniel Fisk, sec- ond son of Abram and Elizabeth (Arnold) Fisk, was born at Whitesboro, N. Y. (now Utica), June 10, 1792, and reared there and at Watertown, N. Y., on his father's farm receiving only the rudiments of an education. He served an appren- ticeship at the trade of a molder which he afterward followed at divers times. He served in the War of 1812 at Sacketts Harbor. In 1816 he married Sarah D. Bowen, of St. Johnsbury, Vt., a daughter of Pelig and Eusebia (Harvey) Bowen. After marriage he owned and operated a farm in Jefferson County, N. Y., until 1820, when he moved to Ohio and on to a farm purchased at Conneaut, Ashtabula County. In 1823 he sold the farm and returning to New York was connected with a foundry and furnace at Rossie until 1826, when he moved to Springfield, Ohio, where he purchased lands containing a bed of potter's clay and built a pottery which he operated very successfully until 1835, when he sold the Springfield prop- erty and purchased an interest in a pottery at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and a gypsum bed near that place. In 1836 he built a pottery at Cleveland, Ohio, and moved his family there into a fine home located on the city square, opposite the court house. He was now a wealthy man but in 1838 the business failure of a partner with whom he had become connected in Cleveland swept away a large por- tion of his property, and refusing to take advantage of the newly enacted bankrupt laws, he gave up everything, including his home in Cleveland, except his interests in Canada. He went to Canada, built a mill at his gypsum beds, and commenced what proved a profitable business; but the locality proved very unhealthful; his eldest son, Lorenzo, coming over to assist in the business, was taken sick and died there, and his owrt health failing he disposed of this and his Hamilton property in 1842-43 and purchasing wild lands near Middleburg, Ohio, returned to his old occupation — molding — at that place, improving his lands from time to time as the opportunity ofifered. In 1852 disposing of his property he removed with his own and the fam- FISKE GENEALOGY. 427 ily of his son-in-law, W. W. Robinson, to Sparta, Monroe County, Wis., where he secured lands and continued to live, with the exception of a short sojourn in Minnesota, 1859-60, until his death in April, 1868, devoting his attention to farming, though not exclusively, as he claimed to have found a valuable bed of potter's clay in Monroe County and was gathering means to purchase the lands containing it when he died, the secret of its location dying with him. He was a man of won- derful energy and plvick, of a happy and rollicking disposition, never cast down or discouraged. He died without a moment's indisposition, seated in his easy chair, nearly 76 years of age, but in manner and carriage not more than 50. His widow survived him ten years, dying in 1878.

He was b. Fair Haven, Vt., Dec. 14, 1819; res. Wildwood, Wis. William Wallace Robinson (husband of Sarah Jane Fisk), son of John Williams and Rebecca (Merritt) Robinson, is a descendant in the seventh generation from John Robinson of Leyden, Holland, Fame ("the Puritan Father"). Born at Fair Haven, Vt., Dec. 14, 1819, he received his educa- tion in the common schools of Vermont and Castleton Semi- nary and Rutland Academy, graduating from the last named when 19 years of age. He also took a course at the Norwich Military Academy. From 1838 to 1840 he taught school in his native State and New Jersey, when he went to Cleveland, Ohio, and in company with Wm. Murphy, a professor of languages from Philadelphia, opened and conducted for some years the "Cleveland High School and Academy." Feb 5, 1842, he mar- ried Sarah Jane, the eldest daughter of Daniel Fisk, and con- tinued to teach until war was declared with Mexico in 1846. He promptly enlisted with Ohio volunteers and was elected First Lieutenant of his company which was assigned to the Third Regiment Ohio Volunteers, as Company G, his com- mission bearing date June 12, 1846. Oct. 26, 1846, he was promoted Captain of his company. He served at Fort Brown and Matamoras, Carnargo, Monterey and Buena Vista, though his command took no part in those battles being engaged on detached service. In July, 1847, the terms of enlistment of the regiment expiring, the entire command was mustered out of the service at New Orleans and he returned to Ohio and en- gaged in farming and teaching until the summer of 1851, when he made a trip to Wisconsin, locating lands for himself and father-in-law, Daniel Fisk, at Sparta, Monroe County. _ Re- turning to Ohio in the fall, intending to move his family to Wisconsin in the spring, he changed his plans, and went to California himself, leaving his family with Mr. Fisk who re- moved with them to Wisconsin in Sept., 1832. The trip to California, overland, consumed six months to a day, he arriv- ing at Whiskey Diggings, Sierra County, in September. He engaged in mining for a few weeks but soon with several part- ners took a contract to construct a flume, some eleven miles in length, for the Minnesota Water Company, which was to conduct water from a mountain stream for use at "Smiths" and the "Minnesota Diggings." After completing this job he en- gaged in various enterprises of a more or less remunerative character until the fall of i8ss, when he rejoined his family at Sparta, Wis., and removing during the winter of 1855-56 to Waseca County, Minnesota, founded the town of Wilton which for a time became the county seat. In 1858 he ran for the State Legislature en the Democratic ticket, but was defeat- ed, and was appointed Colonel of the Ninth Regiment Minne- sota Militia, by Governor Sibley. In 1859 selling his Minne- sota property he returned to Sparta, Wis., and built a home 428 FISKE GENEALOGY. on his lands near that village. At the breaking out of the Civil war he was engaged in drilling the first company raised in the county, and Aug. 15, 1861, was commissioned Lieutenant- Colonel of the Seventh Regiment Wisconsin Volunteer Infan- try, and with this regiment, which with four others constituted the famous Iron Brigade, he served, taking part in every battle fought by the Army of the Potomac except the first Bull Run, Antietam (fought while he was in hospital with a severe wound received at battle of Gainesville) and Five Forks. He was pro- moted Colonel of the regiment in Feb., 1862, and was frequent- ly in command of the brigade by reason of his seriiority before 1863, but from the morning of the first day's fight at Gettys- burg, when Brigadier-General Meredith was wounded, he com- manded the Iron Brigade through the bloody campaigns of 1863-64 and until the army sat down in the trenches around Petersburg, when suffering from sickness and the breaking out of his wound received in 1862 he resigned in July, 1864. He had taken part in over thirty battles and "affairs" and though "hit" three times, received but one serious wound, that at Gainesville. His regiment, the Seventh Wisconsin, lost more men killed and wounded by four than any other taking part in the war, as is shown by the records of the War Depart- ment and recently published. At the close of the war he was tendered a Brevet Brigadier-General's commission, but de- clined it. After somewhat recovering from his wounds (1865), he engaged in farming and lumbering, removing to Chippewa Falls, Wis., in 1874. In 1875 he was appointed United States Consul to Madagascar by President Grant, and undisturbed by succeeding administrations held that office until the fall of 1886, when, heeding the remonstrances of his children, he re- signed and came home to spend his old age surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During his service in Madagascar he rnade the treaty with that government which the French at this writing are attempting to set aside, and at the urgent re- quest of the Queen of Madagascar was directed by our State Department to accompany the Malagassy Embassy on its visit to the courts of Europe and to the United States in 1882-83 during its vain search for peace. He and his wife are now liv- ing with his youngest son in Wisconsin, hale and hearty, though both are in their 77th year. He is a descendant of the Rev. John Robinson, the Leyden pastor, b. in Lincolnshire, England, 1575; emigrated to Leyden, Holland, in 1608, with his congregation, and there formed the nucleus of the Plymouth Colony of 1620. He is a direct descendant of his through his son Isaac, b. 1610; Peter, b. 1660; Peter, Jr., b. 1697; Eliab, b. 1742; John William, b. 1782; William Wallace. Ch.: i, Ed- ward Lorenzo, b.

Y., but- while the parent enjoyed country life and succeeded in fancy farming and stocfc 430 FISKE GENEALOGY. breeding, the son preferred another line of occupation. Gilbert, as he was called, had, in search of education, found city life more congenial than the lonely and drear days and nights on a farm. He soon disposed of the farm and removed to Oswe- go, N. Y. He here established a teaming business, which he conducted with fair success for many years. He had a thorough knowledge of horses, and in his string of teams, private and draft horses, he had the pride of the city, and was noted for his fine stock. He was a very conservative man, strong in his political preferences, yet would never consider political preferment. But his Re- publicanism was very pronounced. When nearing 50 years of age, his health be- came poor, and he gave up business cares, and sought many sources for the restoration of physical forces, with hmited success. In this way he spent the last ten years of his life, and after about four years of serious throat trouble, partial paralysis developed, and he died at the age of 64 years. He d. Sept. 10, 1880; res.

Dr. Edwin Jay Fiske, of Troy, N. 4537. 1- 4538. ii. 4539- lii- m. at Round Lake, N. Y., Sept. Y., was born at Rome, N. Y„ Dec. 26, 1848. While he was an infant his people removed to Oswego, N. Y. where he attended the schools of that city (rated the best in the state), finish- ing there his studies in Oswego, in 1867, after which he went to a preparat ory school for one year, at Hannibal, N. Y. He spent the spring and summer of 1865 as a clerk in the Os- wego postoffice, thus being a government clerk at the time P r e s i dent Lincoln was shot, and wore for thirty days the customary evidence of mourning, crape on he went to Albany, N. Prior to entering upon the advanced course in DR. EDWIN JAY FISKE. the left arm. In the spring of 1868 Y., to prepare for a medical course, the full course of medicine, he took the Boys' Academy, Albany, N. Y., and following this course he took a six months' private course in study with Professor Swan, principal of the above named school. Following this course he entered the office of Dr. Andrew Wilson, of Albany, then the president of the Albany County Medical Society. He soon became a favorite of Dr. Alden March, the founder of the Albany Medical College, and accompanied this great surgeon to most of his capital sur- gical operations up to the time of his death, which occurred in the fall of 1869, the doctor favoring young Fiske, owing to his steady nerve, placing him in the fore when there were several bleeding arteries to pick up and tie. While yet a student, in May, 1870, he was oflfered and accepted a posi- FISKE GENEALOGY. 431 tion, with large advantages for study, in tlie Marsiiall In- firmary, Troy, N. Y. He remained liere until Sept., 1871, when he went to the City Hospital, Albany, N. Y., and took the final course at the college, graduating the same year, Dec. 26, 1871, the anniversary of his birthday. As a medical student young Fiske was very popular in classes, being chair- man of the first quiz class, and one of the foremost and officers of the football and baseball teams. He was elected poet of his class, and on two occasions replied in witty verse' to news- paper criticisms of exposure of canned and dried anatomical specimens, for a short time exposed in the museum windows, while cleaning the museum. After graduating, he returned to the Marshall Infirmary as assistant physician, which position he held until Apr., 1874, when he was appointed by the Mayor of Troy (without his knowledge) city physician. May 10, 1874, He accepted the office, left the Infirmary, and located in the city. He held this office four years, when he resigned and accepted the editorial head of the New York Medical Brief. He held this position but one year, finding journalistic work too severe and trying. He returned to Troy, and has since confined him- self to the advancement of his knowledge of medicine, keep- ing in active practice. Dr. Fiske is a recognized authority on diseases of throat and lungs, and has a large practice in this line, being much called, near and far, in consultation. 4540. iv. CHARLES W., b.

Sept. 5, 1814. Mr. Fisk was born In Scituate, R. I., Oct. 16, 1813. He learned the trade of carpen- ter m Providence, and went to Pawtucket in 1836. For a year or two he was foreman of the building operations at the Dunnell Print Works, and then went Into business with Nathaniel Lewin, under the firm name of Lewln & Fisk, car- penters and builders. Subsequently Charles E. Kenyon was taken into the firm, when the name became Lewin, Fisk & Kenyon. This firm built some of the largest mills in the State of Rhode Island at that time, among them being the Atlantic Delaine Mill in Olneyville. Mr. Fisk retired from this firm in 1868, and entered the employ of the Providence, Washington, Equitable, Atlantic and Hope Insurance companies as adjuster and examiner. With the two FISKE GENEALOGY. 437 companies first named he remained until tlie day of his death, twenty-five years, but the Atlantic and Hope companies went out of business at the time of the Chicago fire, at which time Mr. Fisk settled claims amounting to over $i,ooo,- 000. During his connection with these companies he settled thousands of claims, and was one of the oldest and best known insurance adjusters in New England. He was elected one of the directors of the Pawtucket Mutual Fire Insurance Company in 1859, and held that position as long as he lived, a pe- riod of thirty-four years, being the old- est director in the company. He was one of the trustees of Park Place Church from its organization, and one of the building committee of the church. He was a member of the Knights Templar and in his younger days took an active part in that order. He took no part in politics, but gave his whole attention to business and was active and ener- getic, showing little of the marks of advancing age up to the time he was taken ill. His wife was Miss Sarah Mar- chant, of Yarmouth. Mass. She and two sons, Stephen F, and Frank D., sur- vive him. He d. May 18, 1893; res. Pawtucket, R. I. JOANNA FRANCES, b. 1840; d. 1842. FRANK DUANE, b. Dec. 13, 1843; d. Mar, 19, 1895. He was born in Pawtucket, and was a son of the late Stephen P. Fisk. For many years he was connected with the firm of J. E. Cald- well & Co., silversmiths, of Philadelphia, and later he was of the firm of Fisk & Co., druggists, of Pawtucket. Of late years he had not been engaged in active business pursuits. He was greatly attached to his family, being especially devoted to his aged mother, with whom he lived, making brighter her declin- ing years. During the War of the Rebellion he was a member of the Ninth Rhode Island Regiment, and when Tower Post, No. 17, G. A. R., was formed, he was consequently qualified to become one of its charter members, and for two years he served as its commander. He was also a charter member of the Pawtucket Veteran Firemen's Association. He never held public office, although deeply interested in whatever concerned the Democratic party, and he was frequently selected as a dele- gate to city and State conventions. He was kind of heart, true to his friends, and many will join the bereaved family in mourning his loss. STEPHEN FRANCIS, b. Dec. 13, 1843; m. Susan J. Sheldon.

This is a brief history of a man, who, if he had lived, would have been a man of mark among inventors. A peculiar fact in his inventions they were dreamed out, and upon awakening he immediately arose and put the facts or points in writing, then returned to sleep again.

Hiram Cyrus Fisk, son of Samuel Fisk, was born in Isle La Motte, Vt., Aug. 19, 1818, and attended several academies and seminaries of learning and obtained a good education. Before the period of adolescence in his life history had passed he united with the Methodist E. Church in Isle La Motte, and during his life was one of the principal supporters of that church. Held town office in Isle La Motte the greater part of the time he lived there. He represented the town of Isle La Motte in the Legislature of Ver- mont in the years 1867 and 1868. Upon the death of his father, the said Samuel, Hiram C. Fisk became the main pro- prietor of the said Fisk marble quarry, and worked the same more successfully than his father did before him and ac- cumulated more property than his father had, being the wealthiest man in Isle La Motte at the time he removed therefrom. He bought the farm or homestead once owned by his uncle, Solomon Fisk, in Chazy, N. Y., and moved there in 1876.

Nelson Wilbur Fisk, son of Hiram C. Fisk, Esq., was born Aug. S, 1854, in Isle La Motte, Vt., and at- tended the Montpelier Seminary and Fort Edward Institute, and is a graduate of Eastman's Business College, Pough- keepsie, N. Y., and obtained a good education. His father, the said Hiram C, deceased when Nelson W. was quite young, when the large property and business operations of the father devolved upon the son. Nelson W. He adminstered in a re- markable manner upon his father's estate, being so young in years. He afterwards became sole proprietor of the Fisk marble quarry, and owns it at this time, and has been very suc- cessful in that enterprise; is a general merchant and owns a large amount of real estate. He is the ablest man, pecuniarily,' in said Isle La Motte. His property in value far transcends that of his father's and grandfather's combined. The said Nelson W. has held the principal town offices in town and represented HON. HIK.1M CYBCS FISK. 440 FlSKE GENEALOGY. LIEUT. -GOV. NELSON W". PISK. his town in the Legis- lature of Vermont for two terms, from 1882 to 1886. He afterward in 1888 was elected a Senator from Grand Isle County in the Legislature of Vermont for two years. While in the Senate he intro- duced bills that became important laws of the State. He was appoint- ed by the Governor of Vermont chairman of the Industrial School,' an institution run by the State at Vergenus, Vt., He is also one of the trustees of the Montpelier Seminary, also a trustee of the State Normal School at Johnson, Vt. Was a member of the dele- gation in the National Convention, held in Chicago, 1888. Also a delegate from Vermont to the National Con- vention, held at Min- neapolis, 1892. Mr. Fislc is eminently a public spirited man; pays liberally of his large resources for pious, charitable and beneficent purposes. He also inherited the virtue from his ancestors and progenitors of being possessed of no ill-will, prejudice or bias toward his fellowmen. The Hon. Nelson W. Fiske is one of the best business men in the State of Vermont. His advice and coimsel are sought after by high State officials in matters of municipal concerns and the policy of State affairs. When said Fisk was Senator, as aforesaid, the Chaplain of the Senate said to the writer hereof that he (Fisk) was one of the best business men, one of the best Senators in that Senate. Mr. Fisk is a young man now, comparatively, and will accom- plish a great deal of life's attainments if permitted to live to a tolerably good age. When he was being urged by his friends as a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor of Vermont, the Burlington Free Press said editorially: "He has yielded to the wish of many of his warm friends throughout Vermont in that he will be a candidate for the second place on the ticket. The announce- ment will be gratifying to a large proportion of the Republicans of the State. Mr. Fisk is a staunch Republican. He is an hon- orable, genial and popular gentleman. As a Representative in the House in '82 and '84; Senator from Grand Isle County in '88; trustee of the Vermont Reform School, and leading mem- ber of the Fish and Game League, and in other public capaci- ties, he has shown ability, sound judgment and large capacity for business. He has not asked for support, nor shown any eagerness to become a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor. In fact, it is the simple truth that he has up to this time re- sisted a very considerable amount of pressure from many quarters, urging him to permit the use of his name. His can- FISKE GENEALOGY. 441 didacy is thus an honorable one and every way creditable to him. tiis name, when placed upon the ticket, will add strength and popularity to it; and when he is elected the office will have sought the man, and it will be a source of gratifica- tion to many in other sections of the State that the good Island County has at last been recognized by the bestowal of an im- portant elective State office." At the Republican State Con- vention, held in 1896, he was nominated by acclamation for Lieutenant-Governor and elected by a very handsome majority. At the joint session of the Vermont Legislature Lieutenant- Governor-elect Fisk was administered the oath of office. On assuming the president's chair the Lieutenant-Governor said: "•The most agreeable duty assigned me by the people of the State of Vermont is that which brings me into official relations with the Senate. At this, the commencement of the session, I am forcibly reminded of the importance of the position we occupy. On us is centered criticism as well as the good wishes of our fellow Vermonters. I bring to the discharge of this chair but little experience, and shall, therefore, be compelled to rely largely upon that forbearance which has always charac- terized the courtesy shown by the Senate to its presiding officer. I indulge in the hope that the session upon which we are now entering will result in such beneficial legislation as the people have the right to expect and demand. My ambition is to so preside over and govern your deliberations as to merit at all times your commendation and assistance. I await the pleasure of the Senate." The speech was greeted with applause. 4654. iii. MYRA WILLARD, b. Nov. 15, 1856; m. Sept. 22, 1884. Sidney Howard Graves; res. Shelton, Neb. Ch.: i, Fannie. 2, Frank. 3, Nelson Fisk. 4655. iv.

In 1849 he left for Chagres, Panama, where he engaged in business, doing a large trade with the California pilgrims or '49ers. His goods he had taken with him to South America. His health being greatly improved in the spring of 1850, he returned to New York City, where he remained until fall. He then returned to Chagres, taking his wife with him, and leaving his only child in New York City with relatives. Not long after their arrival in Chagres, Mrs. Fisk was taken dangerously ill with the "isthmus fever." The press of business and care and anxiety for his sick wife proved too much for his nervous system. 442 FISKE GENEALOGY. He was later attacked with the fever, Feb. i, 1851, and died on the 2Sth.

He commenced the study of medicine at 20 years' of age and graduated from the Physicians' College of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pa., in 1851. He practiced medicine in Au Sable, northern New York, for thirteen years and then moved to Kalamazoo, Mich., where he was engaged in the active prac- tice of his profession until a few days before his death. Dr. Fiske was one of the prominent physicians in that city, having been an active practitioner for twenty- eight years. He was in partnership for some years with the late Dr. H. O. Hitchcock. He had been a prominent member of the Kalamazoo Academy of Medicine since its inception. He always stood very high among his orofessional brethren. Dr. Fiske was a member of the First Presbyterian Church. He was an upright, straightforward citizen, and a good neighbor. His loss is one, says the Kalamazoo paper, which will be felt not only by his immediate relatives and friends, but also by the entire city and by his professional friends.

By his eflorts he acquired farm after farm, and at one time he owned thirteen hundred acres, all of which were connected. He had a wonder- ful memory, kept all of his numerous accounts on tablets, and he never omitted an item. In his time he was considered a rich man. His real estate was divided among his sons and his personal property was left to the management of his eldest living son. He was a member of the Universalist Church. His last ill- ness was of short duration. He contracted a cold, which developed into pneu- monia. One of his last wishes was that Cora Etta, then a babe of a few months old, be brought to his bedside. The wish was granted, the dying old man patted the child lovingly, and said: "I meant to have had many n good time with you, but it has all gone by now." It was his request that he should be buried on his own ground. A pretty plat within sight of the house, overlooking the pond, was chosen. His wife, who died a short time before him, was buried there, also his son Ephraim's first wife, Nancy Campbell. He d. Mar. 21, 1866; res. Lebanon, N. Y. 4701. i. ALBERT, b.

H., Feb. 27, 1863,. Angelina S. Drew, b. Aug. 23, 1837. His father was an invalid from his earliest remem- brance. His mother was the mainstay of the family. They owned thirty acres of hilly, unproductive land. The mother did the work, with the help of the children, outdoors and in. It was a struggle for the necessaries of life. She took wool just as it was clipped from the sheep, worked it up on shares and from her share carded by hand, spun, wove, cut and made up nearly all the clothing that was used in the family during the 40's. His brother, Franklin, next younger than he, was early accustomed to labor. He could not be spared to go to school in the summer time, after he was 9 years of age. In the spring of 1852 they moved to Lowell, Mass., where the mother and all the children old enough, found work in the factory. They remained in Lowell two years and had much sickness. His oldest sister died and was buried in Lowell. In the spring of 1854 his father bought another farm, and they moved back again to Vermont. The boys were now old enough to do the most of the work re- quired, and what was too hard they exchanged work, and got their neighbors to do. Sept. 5, 1861, he enlisted in Company E., Second Regiment Vermont REV. DAVID MOSES FISK. 447 448 FISKE GENEALOGY. Volunteers, and served till the end of the war. He was discharged July 24, 1865. He was married to Miss Angelina S. Drew, to whom he had been some time engaged, while home on a furlough, in the winter of 1863. At the close of the war he removed to a farm he had purchased in Kansas, where he contended with drouth and chinch bugs till the spring of 1875. As opportunity ofifered, he held meetings at different places near his home, and in the winter of 1875 was invited to go to Freeborn to do home missionary work in the Congregational denomina- tion here. In connection with Freeborn he has had several other points. He has preached at Hartland, Berlin, Lemond, New Richland, Alden, Manchester, Minnesota i^ake, Freedom, St. Clair and Janesville. He has been pastor of the church at Freeborn over twenty years, at Freedom over twelve, Hartland eighteen, and Manchester eight. He has received into the various churches by baptism and confession over one hundred persons. He now preaches at Freedom, St. Clair and Byron, besides regularly at Freeborn.

DR CYRUS MENTOR FISK (Ephraim, Ephraim, Ephraim, Eben- ezer, William, William, William, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, bymond), b Chichester, N. H.. Jan. 9, 1825; m. at Contoocook, N. H., Dec. 8, u ' .'^"^"^^ ^- Putnam, b. July 8, 1831. Dr. Fisk was born in Chichester, N. H.. the eldest son of Ephraim and Margaret Dow Fisk; studied medicine at Contoo- cook with the late Charles A. Savory, M. D., took his degree at Dartmouth Col- lege, and in 1847 returned to Contoocook to begin the practice of medicine. The following year he married Amanda M. Putnam, and with his young bride re- moved to Bradford, where they remained for twenty-four years, he having a large and constantly increasing business, making himself one of the leading men of the town, loved and respected by all. He was a man of generous heart and genial disposition, ever bringing sunshine and confidence into the sick room- and was universally considered a most reliable and skillful physician. In 1863 he en- listed in the Sixteenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers; was appointed Assistant Surgeon and promoted to Surgeon. Served under Gen. Banks in the FISKE GENEALOGY. , 449 DR. CYRUS MENTOR FISK. expedition before Port Hudson. In Au- gust, the following year, was mustered out of service and returned home to re- sume his practice. In 1872, with his family, he removed to Lowell, there to engage in broader fields of usefulness. He then entered the office, as an associate of his old instructor. Dr. Savory; who had preceded him many years. After a time the partnership was dissolved and Dr. Fisk continued the practice of his pro- fession alone, winning for himself the name and reputation of a skillful physi- cian, second to none in that city. He was a member of Ladd and Whitney Post, No. 185, G. A. R.; Massachusetts Medical So- ciety; Middlesex North District Medical Society, at different times being president, vice-president and counselor; was on the medical staff of St. John's Hospital; ad- visory board of Lowell Hospital; served on the school board for a time; was chair- man of the board of pension examiners for twelve years; one of the board of trustees of the Lowell Institution for Sav- ings; was also an active member of the Medical Journal Club, in which he took much interest. After a residence of twen- ty-two years in Lowell, he conceived the happy thought of returning again to Bradford, hoping to enjoy for a few years the rest and quiet which his active life and close attention to his arduous and trying profession so richly entitled him. "We have watched with interest and pleasure during the past summer, the progress made in building and decorating the new home. At last it was finished, and they were cozily settled. All were rejoiced at their coming, and ready to stretch a welcoming hand across this gulf of many years. Our fond anticipations were realized only a few days ago, the occasion being the 70th anniversary of his birth. Congratulations and good wishes were heartily extended by many and hopes expressed, that this happy couple might live to reach their fifty years of wedded life, which seemed so near at hand; but, alas, that was not so to be. It is easy to realize the sorrow and disappointment so keenly felt by all, at his untimely death." Possibly no young M. D. was ever more uniquely started upon his career than was the doctor, when, in the winter of 1848, the western part of the town was smitten with the scourge of small-pox. Even Dr. Ames, another physician, fell a victim to the horrible disease. It was then that the boy, Dr. Fisk, came to the rescue. Rising to the occasion he showed the stuff that was in him. He went into quarantine with Bradford's afflicted townspeople, caring for and ministering to them as physician and nurse, and coming forth from the ordeal with flying colors, and the confidence and respect of the whole community. He was married just previously, and he often laughingly remarked that this was his honeymoon, spent among small-pox patients, as he was isolated for weeks from his then young bride. The doctor's sense of humor carried him successfully through many a dark scene and served to brighten many a dismal sick chamber. He had for many years been much interested in ornithology, not only as a scientific study, but pleasant pastime, and had, for a private one, a large collection of birds, which he enjoyed showing and explaining to his friends.

Ryan, b. 1809; d. July 2, 1892! He was a manufacturer in Adams, Mass. ; was burned out, and as the business at that time was unsatisfactory, he went to Brattleboro, his wife's home, and started what he called a "travehng emporium." He had twenty teams and a salesman on each one. His own team was very handsome; on it he drove four horses, a coach- man in livery. He also had another four horse team, which was the "wholesale wagon." In this way he traveled all over New England. Each Saturday every sales- man reported to him, at a given place. His bookeeper was there, and, in fact, the busmess was carried on then as the large stores are now in the city; everything was systematized. He carried only silks and handsome shawls and wraps on his own team; he had his regular customers all over the country, who waited for him, and in many towns he would stay from two to three weeks. He was a very handsome man, six feet two inches, and the "pink" of neatness; very careful about his dress and of a very elegant, courtly manner. His wife used often to say laughingly "I first met Mr. Fisk in a stage coach, and was attracted by his fine clothes and noble bearing. He was a strong Prohibitionist, and built the Revere House in Brattleboro and opened it, the first temperance house ever opened and kept in the State of Vermont. After the death of his son he was ill for a year, in fact out of his head, made so by the shock of his sudden death. He was walking up Broad- way and heard the newsboys crying the murder on the street. He fell uncon- scious and remained so for twenty-four hours; he never saw his dearly loved boy again. He recovered his mind, but never his health. He d. June 4, 1881 ; res. Brat- tleboro, Vt. 4735- i. JAMES, b. Apr. i, 1835; m. Lucy D. Moore. 4736. n. MARY GRACE, b. May 20, 1843; m.

He was a good draughtsman and musician, he, his father and brothers having belonged to a band when the sons were young men. After the war William was an inspector of streets in New York, and afterward held a posi- tion in the postofifice, but for a few years before he died was not in business, his health having failed him. When a young man his father obtained a place for him in a New York liquor store, but only remained one day, as he did not like the business. He never drank or used tobacco in any form, though the latter was not offensive to him.

On the third story of the Lotos club- house there is a square, high cardroom, fronting on Fifth avenue, and here, on his working mornings, Mr. Stephen Fiske may be found seated at a table-desk writing "copy" for the numerous papers to which he contributes. As he rises to welcome the interviewer, he displays a large, stout, portly figure, above the medium height — a strong, pleasant English face, with frank, mischievous blue eyes and dark brown hair and mus- tache tinged with gray. His manner is straightforward; his voice clear and honest. He pushes aside his papers, offers a box of choice cigars to his visitor, and, with a laugh and a jest at the idea of a hunter being hunted, glances over my notes and fills up the gaps in reply to my questions. "Yes," he says, in response to a remark about his surroundings, "hav- , ing seen many writers, from Dickens down, annoyed by the absence of a particular chair, table, kind of pen or paper, I have always tried to be independent of such fads, and can write anywhere with equal facility. Give me a flat table and the light on my left hand, and I am comfortable in any room or company. I do not care to be alone; in fact, the talk of people about me, so long as they don't whisper, is a sort of inspiration. My writing is only a transcription and correcting of phrases already formed in my mind, and, therefore, is very rapid and seldom altered. But, if I have a choice, it is to write in a printing office, with the presses rumbling below me, and the printer's boy taking my pages as fast as I can scribble them. There is no music for a writer like the rumble of the press, and the jarring is like a series of beneficent electric shocks." Stephen Fiske was born November 22, 1840, at the little old Dutch city of New Brunswick, N. J., about thirty miles from New York. His parents had moved out from the metropoilis and settled there. His grandfather, Haley Fiske, was a Judge, and a prominent leader of the Whig party. His father was a partner in a large iron foundry. He was educated at Rutgers College in his native city. As a schoolboy, his compositions were published in the local pa- pers. He commenced his paid contributions before he was 12 years old, and at 14 he was the editor of a small daily pa- per, the Times, which, much enlarged, is still prosperous. He used to hear his father laugh over his editorials while he was afraid to avow their authorship; for his father was a Re- publican in politics, and the Times was the Democratic organ. The precocious journalist edited the Times during his col- legiate studies. Before his year of graduation he contributed to the College Magazine the opening chapters of a satirical novel, called "Charles Herndon, a Modern American Student's 452 FISKE GENEALOGY. Progress," in which the professors and their antiquated meth- ods of teaching were keenly caricatured. The professors de- manded his resignation; but the reforms which he had sug- gested in his novel were carried out, and the caricatured pro- fessors were soon retired, and the college thoroughly reor- ganized. Alluding to this incident in a speech at the Del- monico banquet of the Rutgers Alumni, Mr. Fiske said: "I graduated, not exactly at the head of my class, but two years ahead of it." Then, for the first time in his life, the venerable President Campbell, D. D. and LL. D., was heard to laugh, and the speech thus became historical. Stephen Fiske first at- tracted attention outside of local circles by an article upon "Sunshine," which was extensively copied and which a New York paper accused him of plagiarizing from Dickens. ITie works of Dickens were searched in vain, and the paper was forced to apologize and explain that the writing was so like Dickens' that the editor could not detect the difference. This high compliment to a boy resulted in the departure of the young writer for New York to seek his fortune. Horace Greeley, his grandfather's friend, offered him a position upon the Tribune; but he preferred to become a reporter upon the Herald. In a few months he was promoted to be a special correspondent, and in that capacity he accompanied the Prince of Wales on his American tour, from Newfoundlaild to Portland. He used the telegraph exclusively, and his des- patches were published in the English papers a fortnight in advance of the English correspondents' letters. At Niagara Falls, he telegraphed to the Herald chapters of Matthews and Revelations in order to hold the wires against all rivals, and Jules Verne has adapted this incident in a well-known novel and play. Afterwards he accompanied Abraham Lincoln, "The Martyr President," in his memorable trip from Illinois to Washington, and he relates with great glee the introduction of_ Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln to Washington society. "Here," said Mr. Lincoln to the brilliant company assembled to greet him at Willard's Hotel, "here is the long and the short of the Presidency," and Lincoln bent his tall figure as he held his little wife by the hand. In 1866 Mr. Fiske was an editorial writer on the Herald and the editor of the Leader, a local Democratic organ. He had produced a play at Wallack's, and wrote regularly for Bonner's Ledger and the leading maga- zines. Without hesitation he threw up all his engagements to go with Mr. James Gordon Bennett on the Henrietta in the first ocean yacht race which was sailed in December. The Henrietta arrived at Cowes on Christmas day after a stormy passage, and won the race. Hurrying up to London, Mr. Fiske wrote a report of the race for the Times, and then cabled a full account of it to the Herald. He refused to accept the seventy-five guineas offered him by the Times for his report; but the elder Bennett sent him a check for $1,000 by way of compensation. This is the largest sum ever received for a two-column article. After a brief rest, Mr. Fiske was sent to Ireland to ex- plode the Fenian conspiracy. He traveled over most of the country on a jaunting-car, interviewed all the leading Fenians, and cabled to the Herald not only the results of his investiga- tions, but the editorials upon his reports, and the effect was that the Fenian movement was thoroughly discredited in America. From Ireland Mr. Fiske went to Paris to describe by cable the opening of the Paris Exposition; to Buda-Pesth to witness the coronation of the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary; to Rome, to picture in words the canonization of the Japanese FISKE GENEALOGY. 453 martyrs; to Naples to see an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, and to Spain to report the war which threatened to break out with England on account of the "Vittoria" affair. Subsequently he went to Italy and took part in Garibaldi's campaign against Rome, which was settled by the French chassepots. His were the only despatches which came through from the seat of war at that time, the other correspondents being locked up in Rome, and they were recabled from New York to the Lon- don papers. Settling down in London as the Herald corre- spondent, Mr. Fiske became intimate with Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Charles Reade, and other literary celebrities. One day, at Boucicault's the question was discussed whether the art of writing in character was not lost. Mr. Fiske pro- posed to write an article in the character of an American Fenian, if Mr. Yates would publish it in Tinsley's magazine, which he was then editing. The article, called "Ireland for the Irish," created an immense sensation, the London journals reviewing and denouncing it in elaborate leaders. Several similar articles followed in the magazine and in the Pall Mall Gazette, and the authorities searched Mr. Fiske's rooms, at the Queen's Hotel, for incendiary documents. For the same maga- zine Mr. Fiske wrote a series of papers called "English Photo- graphs, by an American," dedicated by permission to Charles Dickens. These were republished in book form; obtained a wide popularity; were quoted in Parliament, and were so much esteemed by Dickens that he carried the book with him on his railway 'journeys, and "dipped in to it," as he said, constantly. Mr. Fiske contributed several papers to All the Year Round, and had arranged for the publication of his first novel in that periodical, when the death of Dickens ended the project. "English Photographs" is still a readable book, full of suggestions of practical reforms, many of which have been adopted. The advance sheets of it were published in Harper's Magazine. With its profits Mr. Fiske purchased the Hornet, a satirical paper with a small city circulation, and attempted to open the way to what is now called society journalism. He also edited and published the Home Journal, to which Miss Braddon contributed a new novel, and a trade paper, called the News Vendor. As if his hands were not full enough of work, he undertook to manage the St. James' Theatre for Mrs. John Wood, and succeeded in running "She Stoops to Conquer" for 200 nights, and in delighting the town with the humors of that best of burlesques, "La Belle Sauvage." Afterward, he organized the Royal English Opera Company, with Rose Hersee and Belle Cole as his prima donnas, and sent out this troupe for a tour of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1874 Mr. Fiske returned to America and took charge of the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, which he saved from ruin and conducted for four years against the disadvantages of hard times and an unpopular house. There he first introduced to the public Mary Anderson, whom he advertised so boldly as to command attention and success. "I do not say that she is a great actress," he remarked to an interviewer, "but it is worth the money to see such a lovely girl." There, also, he brought out Madame Modjeska, who, a failure on the first night in "Adrienne," soon achieved an extraordinary success in "Camille." In 1878 Mr. Fiske withdrew from the theatre and returned to journalism, his first love. He accepted the position of dramatic critic of the Spirit of the Times, and Col. Buck, the editor and proprietor, made an engagement with him for life. His work upon that paper is almost as well known on the other side of the Atlantic as on this, so exten- 454 FISKE GENEALOGY. sively is it read and quoted. Almost alone among writers in English, he has made criticism a fine art. For two years he was the editor-in-chief of the New York Star, and when he left that paper it waned and died. Editors and compositors always welcome his "copy," which is as clear as print, and, beneath the plainest statement of facts, has a sub-acid of satire and humor which precisely suits the tone of rriodern journalism. He has published three books, "English Photographs," ''Holi- day Stories," and ''Ofif-Hand Portraits," in which he predicted Cleveland's election to the Presidency two years beforehand, and he has produced "Martin Chuzzlewit" (Olympic), "Cor- poral Cartouche" (^Winter Garden), "My Noble Son-in-Law" (Wallack's) and "Robert Rabagas" (London) dramatizations or adapted plays, all very successful. In the prime of life, and with enormous capacities for work, Stephen Fiske's future is likely to be as varied and eventful as his past. "I used to think," he says, as he concluded the long chat from which these par- ticulars have been gleaned, "that I had been everywhere and seen everybody and everything; but the world renews itself every year, and I often feel like beginning life all over again. I have lived every minute of my time, and I find that the only thing which really fatigues me is to stop and try to rest." Nov., 1896, he is writing a series of articles of intense interest on "The Personal Side of Dickens" for The Ladies' Home Journal. 4740. ii. WILLIAM HENRY, b. Alay 13, 1845; m. Mary E.

He is the author of "Fisk's-Smith's Operative Surgery," also author of a small work on "The Ear," and has written much on many subjects — in all fifty-two volumes. He is a grad- uate of two European colleges and has traveled extensively in Europe, Palestine and Egypt. Since he was 30 he has devoted the most of his time to the ministry and lecturing on various subjects. He has just completed the revision of his "Scriptural Analysis," published many years ago.

Fiske spent his early years until the age of 17 on his father's farm, attending the district school, and doing such work on the farm as was required. In addition to the common school education, he was allowed a few terms at the Macedon Academy, to fit himself for teaching. He "taught his first school" while in his l8th year (1853-54), and continued in the profession until June, 1864, when he resigned his position in the Canandaigua Academy to accept a position as bookkeeper in the Bank of Ontario in Canandaigua. At the end of a year he was made assistant cashier, and for a considerable time had charge of the bank, whose business was large and the responsibility of his position great. He continued to fill responsible positions in the banking line until the spring of 1874, having been cashier of banking houses in Marathon, N. Y., Herkimer, N. Y., and Newark, N. Y., and for three years held positions in the Merchants Savings, Loan & Trust Co. of Chicago, and the Traders National Bank of Chicago. In 1874 he went to Buffalo and engaged in insurance business in partnership with Stephen F. Sher- man. In October, 1875, he entered the office of Richard Bullymore as bookkeeper, continuing in that capacity until December, 1878, when he resigned this position to become cashier of the Bufifalo Grape Sugar Co. He remained with this com- pany and its successor, the American Glucose Company, until the summer of 1894, nearly sixteen years. In April, 1894, the American Glucose Company's plant in Buflalo was destroyed by fire, which resulted in the severing of his connection with that company. He now (1896) holds the position of chief bookkeeper in the office of the Comptroller of the city of Bufifalo. In politics he is a Republican, though never taking active part in politics, except as a voter. As a proof of the regard in which he is held, it may be said that in the several important financial positions held by him, involving the handling and care of large sums of money, he was never required to give bonds; res. 34 Fifteenth St., Bufifalo, N.

Dec. 18, 1820; d. Mar. 8, 1887. Joseph W. Fisk was born in Susquehannah County, Pa. He was the eldest son of Joseph and Fanny (Brown) Fisk who were among the pioneers that helped to develop the northeastern part of Pennsylvania. He had four sisters and one brother. His sisters with himself have all passed to the higher life. His brother, Clark S. Fisk, lives at Morrison, 111. When Joseph was but ten years old 460 FISKE GENEALOGY. his father died of consumption leaving a widow with six small children with very limited means of support, therefore his chance for education was small. We do not know that he ever attended school a day in his life, yet we take it for granted that he must have done so some time somewhere, as he possessed a knowledge of the three "R's." Soon after the death of his father Joseph went to live with his uncle Washington Fisk in Vermont, making a trip of three hundred miles on foot through the woods and over the mountains of Pennsylvania, New York and Ver- mont, with his wardrobe in a bandana. When about 20 years old his uncle ad- vised him to return to Pennsylvania and take possession of the farm his father had settled on and this he did. Joseph W. Fisk and Rhoda E. Strickland were mar- ried. Miss Strickland had been devoted to teaching school for nearly eight years at the time of their marriage. With her superior education, active tem- perament and ambitious energy, she brought to her husband the qualities he so much needed. His judgment was sound and had he had the benefit of an educa- tion he would have been a strong man. He had an acute ear for music and could play almost any instrument. He was about six feet tall and well proportioned, in his palmy days weighing two hundred and forty pounds. His family consisted of twelve children, nine sons and three daughters, seven of whom are living, viz.: Wilmot, Melvin, Calvin, Everett, Mrs. Harriet E. Emery, Theron and Alfred. In i860 he built the Union Hotel at Niven, Pa. In 1861 was made postmaster of that place, under Lincoln's administration, which office he held until he moved west in 1865. In the autumn of 1864 he went to Whiteside County, 111., and bought a farm near where his brother and eldest sister (Mrs. Mary Champlin) lived. The fol- lowing spring he moved his family there and continued the vocation of farming the balance of his life. In his early life he was religiously inclined, but as his family grew his son Calvin brought a class of free thought literature such as the "New York Truth Seeker," Prof. John Fiske's "Unseen World," Paine's "Age of Rea- son," Ingersoll's "Lectures," "Boston Investigator," etc., into his house, the read- ing of which somewhat changed his mind on dogmatic theology. His faithful wife died Mar. 8, 1887. This was a greater calamity than he could well bear, and three years one month and two days later he followed her to their long home. He d. May 10, 1890; res.

(Clay) Seavey, b. Lee, N. H., Jan. 20, 1835. Albert Richard Ober Fiske was born in Beverly, Mass., on what was then "Dodge's Row." His father, Abraham Fisk, was a farmer who moved afterward to Beverly Cove where the children were brought up, helping their father to pay for their home at the Cove, which was at the foot of Wood- bury Street. The boys numbered five, all but the subject of this sketch following the sea. Albert was apprenticed to learn the shoemaker's trade at the early age of II years. He was courageous and active, and was early in life in business for himself. Failing in this, his first endeavor, he became foreman cutter in the fac- tory of Francis Dane in So. Danvers, after which he was a partner in the business, having a separate factory on the corner of the "Square" and Chestnut Street. He was in business with varying fortunes at this stand for many years, removing to Wenham in 1870, eight miles away, where the workmen were mostly located, and where he continued to do business for himself until the great Boston fire, which swept away so many fortunes, so seriously impaired his business that he never fully recovered from the blow. He struggled on, however, for several years, when he was obliged to give up. He has lived since then in West Peabody, in Lynn and in Beverly, where he now resides. Albert R. Fisk is much respected wherever he is known, and is a man of sterling integrity, honest and incorruptible. In pol- itics he was active in his younger days, serving two terms as Postmaster in So. Danvers, under Democratic administrations. He was loyal to the Union during the Civil War period, and though never joining the army, was g. good friend of the sol- dier at the front, and their waiting families at home. He married, in 1846, Eliza- beth White Safford, of Salem, who was born in 1825. In Aug., 1879, this truest of wives and fondest of mothers died. He subsequently married, at Lynn, Mrs. Jennie Seavey, a friend and acquaintance of many years. They resided for a time in Lynn, moving later to his native town of Beverly, where they live at 14 Home Street; res. South Danvers, Mass., and 14 Home Street, Beverly. 4867. i. ALBERT FRANKLIN, b.

Mr. Fiske is a mechanical engineer and quite an expert in his line. Last year he came very near losing his life while at work in Washington, D. C, because of the carelessness of some individual unknown. In company with several other workmen, Mr. Fiske, who is an erecting engineer in the employ of the Providence Steam Engine Company, was engaged in fitting a portion of one of the Greene engines connected with the multipolar generator which sup- plies the motive power for the new electric system of propulsion being introduced by the Metropolitan company. While standing on the axle of the immense fiy wheel, with his mind fixed on the work, Mr. Fiske was startled to feel that the axle was revolving. In the hope of saving himself he jumped to a wooden beam nearby, but it gave way with a crash, and the engineer was precipitated to the bottom of the wheel pit. Before he could move he was dragged beneath the re- volving wheel, the space between the same and the cement flooring being less than one foot. In less time than it takes to tell it the unfortunate man had suflfered a compound fracture of the right leg, a lacerated wound on the left hand, con- tusions of the back and shoulders and an abrasion of the left leg. A heavy iron casting which fell at the same time as did Mr. Fisk was smashed. The wheel, which had been set in motion by the shifting of a lever by some person among the many spectators vvatching the erection of the engine, was quickly stopped, and half a dozen of his fellow workmen lifted the injured man from his precarious position. The fact that the man had been badly injured quickly spread about the neighborhood, and in a few moments a surgeon with several members of the ambulance corps reached the scene from the hospital of the Washington Bar- racks, which is but half a block distant from the new power house. Several other physicians were also summoned, but it was decided to send Mr. Fiske to the Emer- gency Hospital. At the latter 'institution his injuries were attended to. Res. Providence, R.

Apr. 8, 1875, Susan Elizabeth Sparhawk, b. Oct. 20, 1854, dau. of Ed- ward Carey and Susan Elizabeth (Greenwood) Sparhawk, of Brighton, Mass. Charles Dudley Blake Fiske, sec- ond son of Dudley Blake and Mary Ann Ashton Fiske, was born at Hook- set, N. H., Feb. 17, 1850. His father died in 1851, leaving his mother desti- tute, with two small boys, his brother, William Francis, and himself. The first seven years of his life were passed at the home of his grandparents, in Lowell, Mass., his mother working hard to earn suthcient to care for her children. When Charles was nearly 7 years of age, his mother married an honest, hard work- ing mechanic, who proved kind to the children, but of a roving nature, conse- quently Charles' early life was passed in various places, remaining in each hardly long enough to form any per- sonal friends, and too short a time to ac- quire an education. At the age of 11 he worked in the early morning on a milk route, and in the evening sold pa- pers on the streets of Providence, R. I. Two years later he had a cheap jewelry stand on Central St., Lowell, Mass., and later, at the age of 15, worked in a pa- per bo.x factory. Again returning to Providence, Mr. Fiske, at the age of 16, drove a grocery order wagon. Realizing fully his ignorance, he attended a com- mercial evening school for about a year, learning bookkeeping, and laying the foundation for what knowledge he acquired later. Going to California at the age of 18, he soon spent what little he had saved, and went to work laying track for the Central Pacific Railroad at Sacramento, at $1.50 per day. After that he worked in the car shops, building cars, and yet later secured a position as clerk in the motive power department, at a salary of $i,Soo a year, all the changes oc- curring within a year from his arrival in California, although when he landed he v/as an entire stranger to everybody. His last position carried him to the wilds of Nevada, where he mingled with the hardest set of men that could be gathered together from the four quarters of the globe. There might was law, and pistols and knives settled many a dispute. He dabbled in mines more or less, and be- came interested in a patent, which he thought would make his fortune. He re- turned East in 1871, soon became stranded, and was compelled to begin life anew as entry clerk in a large clothing house of J. B. Barnaby & Co., of Providence, R. I., at a salary of $6 per week. A year later he entered the employ of the Howe Sewing Machine Company, as bookkeeper; became their temporary general agent of Rhode Island and Connecticut, settled up their broken busines and returned as head bookkeeper of the said clothing firm. In 1874 he went to Portland, Me., and opened a clothing store under the name of C. D. B. Fiske & Co., being backed by J. B. Barnaby & Co., his former employers. In 1879 Mr. Fiske was elected to the common council of Portland, and in 1880, was elected president of that body. In 1881 he removed to Boston, and opened a much larger store, under the name of J. B. Barnaby & Co. In 1893, as Mr. Barnaby had died, the business was sold, and in April of the same year, taking a partner, he opened a very large store as Fiske & Goiif, clothiers. Since then the firm added a store in Portland, CH.\KIiES DUDLEY BLAKE FISK, 468 FISKE GENEALOGY. Me. In 1875 ^Ir. Fiske married Susie E. Sparhavvk, of Brighton, Mass., daughter of Edward C.

On Feb. 15, 1882, he married Josephine Harper, daughter of Mr. Joseph W. Harper, head of the publishing firm of Harper & Brothers. On Oct, i, 1882, obtained leave of absence for one year, to study electricity. During this year he wrote "Electricity in Theory and Practice." which Van Nostrand pub- lished. This book in 1895 was still sell- ing, in its tenth edition. On duty in Bureau of Ordnance, Navy Department, from Oct.. 1883, to Oct., 1885. During this time, i. e. in Oct. and Nov., 1884, was member of International Conference of Electricians at Philadelphia, and also was detailed in charge of the Naval Ex- hibit at the International Electrical Ex- hibition; made cruise in U. S. S. Atlanta, the first modern cruiser of the United States Navy, from July, 1886, to Dec, 1888. During this cruise invented elec- trical range finder for measuring dis- tances at sea and in forts. This instru- ment is now in use in the principal ships of the navy; carried on, also, while on this cruise a number of experiments in electrically signalling through the water and the air. Up to the present time these experiments have not borne fruit in the shape of practical apparatus. From Dec, 1888, to Nov., 1890, engaged in shore duty in New York and Philadelphia, and also perfect- ing in leisure moments the range finder. In Oct., 1890, received a year's leave, most of which spent in Europe with wife and daughter. In Oct., 1891, ordered to U. S. S. Yorktown and went in her to Chile; was in Valparaiso during the height of the crisis there, under the command of Captain R. D. Evans (Fighting Bob), whose conduct during the eoisode gained so much honor for himself, his ship, and the United States; went from Chile, after the crisis had passed, to Bering Sea, and spent the summer in the Yorktown, then flagship of the patrol fleet for sup- pressing seal poaching. In July, 1893, the Yorktown being then at New York, was transferred to the Flagship San Francisco. Shortly after this, the San Fran- cisco was ordered to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to watch over American interests dur- ing the rebellion of the navy, under Admirals Mello and da Gama against the government; was on board the San Francisco, under Admiral Benham, when that gallant admiral cleared his fleet for action and forced the Brazilian navy to agree to the just demands of the United States. After the conclusion of hostilities, the San Francisco was ordered to Bluefields, Nicaragua, to protect .American interests in the triangular dispute going on between England, Nicaragua and the Alosquito Indians; detached from the San Francisco in Oct., 1894. During this cruise per- fected range finder, and invented new form of position finder; invented also stad- imeter, range telegraph, helm indicator, steering telegraph, telescope sight, elec- tric telescope-sighting-system, and electric engine-telegraph. At the present mo- ment, the range finder has been adopted by the navy and is placed in all the new ships; the stadimeter has proved a complete success in service and is being sup- plied to all the ships. The range indicator, helm indicator, steering telegraph and electric engine telegraph have passed successful tests in service at sea, and are being installed in the new battleships. The telescope sight is being tested now in various ships. In the summer of 1895 invented electric lachometer for continu- ously indicating on the bridge of a ship the direction and speed of revolution of the ship's engines. This instrument is now undergoing a test in service on board the 470 FISKE GENEALOGY. United States armored cruiser New York; res. The Beresford, i W. 8ist St., New York, N. Y. 4944. i.

FRANKLIN PROCTOR FISK (FrankHn W., Ebenezer, Ebenezer, William, Ebenezer, William, William, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon. William, Symond), b. Chicago, 111., Oct. 27, 1857; m. Dec. 27, 1881, Kath- erine Tanner, of Rockford, 111. She was born in Wisconsin, but when quite young moved with her parents to Rockford, 111., where she always resided. When 12 years of age she entered the Rockford College, where she graduated in 1881, only six months before she was married to Frank Fisk. Very soon after remov- ing to Chicago, she began her musical career as a pupil of Miss F. A. Roots, and she there enlisted the interest of Professor Tomlins, who was her next teacher. After much solo work, Mrs. Fisk sought the advice and guidance of Mrs. S. H. Eddy, who admired her wonderful voice, but said that she must give years to study before she could expect to do much with it. She accepted the verdict, and studied for four years intently under Mrs. Eddy. From that time she became the most popular singer in the West. She soon determined to go to London, and having been heard by Mr. Daniel ilayer, was induced to sign a three years' en- gagement with him. After her arrival there she studied French and German songs under Mr. Henschel and Mr. Blume and passed her oratorios with Signor Ran- degger, making her debut at St. James' Hall at the close of 1892. Her success was such that before the end of January, 1893, she had been heard in that hall four- teen times, as well as at the Crystal Palace, Albert Hall and the London Sym- phony Concerts. After a short visit to her native country she returned to Lon- don, which will be her headquarters, though she will sing throughout Europe. In private life Mrs. Fisk is as charming as she is in her professional, for she is singularly gifted both mentally and physically, has most excellent taste in dress, speaks French fluently, and has a good knowledge of German and Italian. The rise to her position as one of the leading American contraltos is really a record of labor, perseverance' and patience. Prof. Fisk was born in Chicago and in referring to him the Post says: "Abreast of the times, keeping along with all requirements at the recognized Chicago pace, is the Northwest Division high school, at Poto- FISKE GENEALOGY. 473 mac Avenue and Davis Street. Dominated by the idea that sound practical sense and reason may be drilled into the young as well as Greek, Latin, mathematics or history, and possessed of a curriculum which is far more elaborate and attractive than that of a large number of the small colleges in the West, this Chicago school is growing in popularity, and has come to be the ideal school for the thousands of children who live in the northwest section of the city. The pride which Principal Franklin B. Fisk takes in his school is indeed pardonable. He has stamped his indi- viduality indelibly on the instittition over which he presides and the credit of it all is his, to have and to hold. Northwest Division high school is now a little more than six years old and it is a prodigy. Seven hundred scholars attend it regularly and nineteen teachers assist Mr. Fisk in their instruction. Studying is a business un- der Mr. Fisk's regime. His pupils go to school to learn, and not simply to be where they cannot annoy their parents for a day. The hours in school are short, only one session being held from g o'clock a. m. to 2 o'clock p. m., with a half- hour for luncheon and a whispering recess of five minutes. The best of order is maintained in the class and recitation rooms, and nothing distracts the attention of any piipil. To describe Northwest Division high school, its rooms, its depart- ments and its course of study would be simply going over old ground. It is a complete school from alpha to omega, and it is a great institution. It fills a place in Chicago's educational facilities which no man attempts to dispute 'and it affords children who would be compelled to stop with finishing at the graded schools an opportunity for a higher education, which they and their parents most assuredly appreciate. It is asserted that at least thirty per cent of the seven hundred pupils in the school would have been compelled to go to work for a living this fall had not Mr. Fisk's school been available, simply because their parents couldn't afford to send them to a college or a university. And an education means more than dol- lars and cents to the average child of school age. As ^n example of the plan upon which Mr. Fisk conducts this school one scene in the big gymnasium in the base- ment may be thus described: Thirty girls, of all sizes and forms, dressed in blue trousers, very full, blouses of the same material, stockings to match and light shoes, romping and racing, jumping, leaping, laughing, swinging on ropes hung from the ceiling, with rings attached, turning on the horizontal bar, climbing lad- ders, their feet higher than their heads half the time and every mother's daughter of them ruddy-faced and seemingly not exhausted. No unseemly behavior, no rough jesting, no false modesthood. Just healthy girlhood effervescent." Res. s. p. Chicago, 111. 3272.

After spending two years at the academy, he went to the Methodist Gen- -eral Biblical Institute, at Concord, N. H., where he received two years in theo- logical training. Soon after which he joined the New Hampshire Conference of "the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has continued in the work of the ministry ■from that time to the present, with about the average success; res.

He studied medicine and taught school in Pittsburg, Pa., in his younger •days; practiced for some years in Killingly, Conn., and for the past forty-three years in Greenfield, Mass., where he now resides. He has led a very active life and 484 FISKE GENEALOGY. has always had a large and successful medical practice up to his 8oth year. He was an early abolitionist and a contemporary of Garrison, Phillips and others. He is an independent free thinker and fully believes in nature's laws and that cause and efifect govern and control the universe. The old doctor was made a Freemason in Pittsburg the night he was 21 years of age ; he was loyal all through the turbulent times of Morgan and has long been a Knight Templar and a 33d degree Mason. There have been but few men of his pluck and nerve and strength of blood, strong perceptions, reasoning powers, readiness in debate, conversational gifts and ex- temporaneous speech. When he departs from this existence he will be long re- membered as a man of remarkable personal character and ability, of a tender and sensitive nature, a lover of science and art, poetry, music, and all that is grand and glorious in life; res.

Oct. 19, 1840. He at- tended with his brother the free schools at Cincinnati, and with his mother, in 1834, went east and visited relatives. While there the house was burned in Cincinnati. When they returned home in the fall they were three weeks coming down the Ohio River from Wheeling, W. Va. to Cincinnati, on a canal boat, for the river was so low that the steamboats could not run. They all came to Illinois in 1835, arriving at Havana, Aug. 7, being delayed by Eli C. having the small-pox. His father brought a steam engine to put up a saw mill, but not having the necessary capital, he sold out, but put up the mill for them ; then moved on the farm in Aug.,' 1837, Eli C. now lives on. In Oct., 1842, a team ran away with him and harrowed him under; he has been a cripple, and walks with a cane, ever since. He at- tended school two or three quarters while living in Havana, and three while on the farm. In 1847 he entered the preoaratory department of Illinois Co'l-ge. Graduated in 1852. He colported for the American Tract Society one vacation, and another for the American Sunday School Union. His labors were in Mason Co., 111., and organized Sunday schools in nearly every schoolhouse in the FISKE GENEALOGY. 48'Z 5147. 11. 5 148. 111. 5149- IV. S150. V. 5151- VI. county. He read theology with Rev. A. Hale, of Springfield, 111. He preached! his first sermon Oct. 12, 1856. Ordained Feb. 20, 1858 as pastor of the Mason Congregational Church, which he was the means of forming. He resigned Dec, 1859; preached for more than two years after, and supported himself. Finally the disloyal element became so defiant that he held many meetings throughout Mason. and other counties in favor of the Union. He has been persecuted by that dis- loyal element ever since. In order to meet them, he studied law, so that the legal principles involved could be used by him in the controversy. He was admitted to the bar in Mar., 1868. He rarely practices, for he would rather have a clear conscence- than the best legal reputation in the State. He has followed farming ever since he resigned the pastorate of the church, contnuing on the old homestead. His marriage has been crowned with seven children, fouf daughters and three sons He has continued on the farm, and by successful crossing and interbreeding, produced the "Fisk" corn, both white and yellow. He is and has been the president of the Mason and Fulton Counties' Old Settlers' Society for nearly two years; been school treasurer quite a number of years, until he resigned; eight years notary- public; got the Mason County Farmers' Institute on its feet, then resigned its secretaryship. He has been engaged in quite a number of other things, but never joined a secret society; res. Havana, 111. 5146. i. MARTHA MARGARET, b. June 28, 1868; m. June 21, 1891, James W. Edlin, Jr.; res.

WARREN COOLEY FISKE (Stephen, Hezekiah, Asa, David, John, John, Nathaniel, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Wales, Mass., Sept. 21, 1816; m. May 19, 1847, Harriett Mindwell Parsons, b. East Haddam, Conn., Apr. 12, 1823. She now res. in Southington, Conn.; is a dau. of Rev. Isaac and Sarah (Budd) Parsons. He was born in Wales, Mass., formerly a part of Brimfield. His father was a farmer and he passed his early years in the customary round of duties pertaining to the life of a farmer's boy. When he was 12 years old he was converted and very soon formed the plan of getting an edu- cation. His father gave him his time and he went to Northampton where he was employed in a mill until he was able to enter Monson Academy. From there he went to Amherst College, from which he graduated in 1840. After teaching for two years at Salem, N. J., he entered the Theological Institute of Connecticut, then at East Windsor, from which he graduated in 1845. While pursuing a post- graduate course he was called to assist in evangelistic meetings at East Haddam, where he met and won for his wife, Miss Harriet M. Parsons, the daughter of the honored and beloved pastor of the East Haddam church for forty years, Rev. Isaac Parsons. There he was ordained May 19, 1847, and there, upon the same day he was married, the wedding ceremony following the ordination exercises. He immediately went to Wisconsin, as a home missionary, under the Connecticut Home Missionary Society. There his first child was born, and there too, in those western wilds, it was buried. His wife's health failed and he returned to the east and was installed pastor of the church in Marlborough, Nov. 8, 1850. Here he remained seven years. From this place he went to Canton, where he was installed Feb. 2, 1858. While at Canton the excitement over the anti-slavery controversy reached its height and preferring not to remain where the church seemed likelv to be somewhat broken up by it he resigned and removed with his family to East Haddam. His wife's aged parents were still living and greatly needed his care. There he remained several years, but removed to Colchester where he taught in Bacon Academy There he had a severe attack of pneumonia. His health improved somewhat, and he again entered upon pastoral work, first at Barkhamsted, for nine months, and then at Wolcott, for three years. But the labor of a pastor's life proved too great for his failing health, and having pur- chased a farm at Charlton, Mass., he removed to that place, where he lived very quietly for twelve years. At the end of that perfod his health had so far declined 488 FISKE GENEALOGY. that he was unable to even superintend the small farm which he owned. He sold it and removed to Southington, where his oldest son is a physician. There he lived for three years, slowly yielding to consumption; and there he fell asleep at the ripe age of 70. So ended a quiet, unobtrusive, successful life. Mr. Fiske's most prominent characteristic, perhaps, was faithfulness. Possessed of none of those elements which the world calls brilliant, never attracting attention by anything in any degree sensational, his ministry was successful because it was faithful. Mr. Fiske was a conservative man, emphatically a man of the "old school." He was interested in all the questions of the day, and had very decided convictions upon them all.

Later he taught school and worked in a drug store. In the Iowa Congressional District, represented by Hon. D. B. Hen- derson, young Fiske passed a successful competitive examination, both mental and physical, and was appointed to a West Point cadetship in 1873. While at school he was studious and at his graduation was number two in the large class. Captain Fisk is an officer of large experience, having been in charge of a number of important government works in various parts of the country. He graduated at the United States military school in June, 1877, and was assigned to the corps of engineers. ' He was on duty at the United States engineer school at Willets Point, N. Y., until September, 1880, when he was detailed as assistant to Gen. Q. A. Gil- more, and, under him, had local charge of United States river and harbor im- provements in Florida until Feb., 1882. He started during that time the jetties both at Cumberland Sound, Georgia and Florida, and at the mouth of the St. John's River, Florida. These are important works, one of the jetties at the St. John's River being 9,400 feet in length, and the other 6,800. They are now doing good work, and have materially benefited the navigation of the river, up which deep-draught steamers ascend about 100 miles. Captain Fisk was assistant to Major S. M. Mansfield, corps of engineers, at Galveston, Tex., from Feb., 1882, to Oct., 1884, on United States river and harbor improvements in Texas, assisting during that time in making various hydrographic surveys of different harbors. From Oct., 1884, to Aug., 1885, he acted as secretary and disbursing officer of the Missouri River Commission, with immediate charge of the surveys of the Mis- souri River from Fort Benton, Mont., to its mouth. From Aug., 1885, to Aug., 1887, he was assistant professor of civil and military engineering at the United States Military Academy, and during September and November acted as assistant in the office of the chief of engineers, United States Army, at Washington, D. C. From Nov., 1877, to Feb., 1891, he was at New Orleans, in charge of United States river and harbor improvements in Louisiana, south of Red River, except' the Mis- sissippi River above the head of the passes and the upper end of the Alchafalaya. He had charge of the construction of about three miles of jetties at Sal^ine Pass, and reported upon "the depth and width of a channel secured and maintained by jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi River," upon which payments were made to the Eads estate, and as engineer of the seventh and eighth lighthouse districts had charge of the erection of eight lighthouses. From Feb., 1891, to Oct., 1892, Captain Fisk was stationed at Duluth, Minn., in charge of United States river and harbor improvements on Lake Superior, except the Portage lake and Lake Superi- or ship canals, having charge of important harbor improvements at Duluth, Su- perior, Marquette; Ashland and elsewhere. From Oct., 1892, to Nov., 1895, he 494 FISKE GENEALOGY. was at the United States engineer school, Willet's Point, N. Y., in command of Company A, Battalion of Engineers, United States Army, and instructor in elec- tricity and torpedo service, or, technically, of "submarine mining." Since going from Willet's Point to Portland, Ore., Captain Fisk has had charge of all river and harbor improvements in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and is also engineer of the thirteenth Ughthouse district; res. Willet's Point, N. Y., and Portland, Ore. 5223. i. MARION WALTER, b. Feb. 21, 1885; res. with aunt at Eliza- beth, N. J. 3708.

He was born in the good old city of Boston and has clung very fondly to it ever since his birth. His school days, preparatory to his college life, were passed at that well known Boston institution named Chauncy Hall school, where he was fitted for college, entering Harvard in the year 1858, without condition and giaduating in the class of 1862; was a member of the famous Hasty Pudding Club. On Sept. 29, 1862, he enlisted as a private in the Forty-first Regiment, Massachusetts Volun- teers, commanded by Col. Thomas Chickering, of piano fame. He was with the Forty-first as Commissary Sergeant until its departure to the Department of the Gulf, and just on the day of its departure received a commission as Second Lieu- tenant in that regiment, and was ordered to report for staff duty to Brigadier- General George L. Andrews, then in command of the remainder of the Banks expe- dition, with headquarters in New York City. With the last regiment composing the expedition, he sailed with General Andrews and staff for New Orleans early in 1863; was present during the whole of the memorable siege of Port Hudson, La., and with General Andrews was one of the first to enter that desolated place on the morning of its surrender; was placed in charge of General Gardner, one of its bravest defenders, and assisted in the parole of its other defenders. After its evacuation he remained at Port Hudson on garrison duty. He visited Vicksburg after its surrender, carrying dispatches to General McPherson, then in command at that point. He narrowly escaped capture as bearer of dispatches to General Smith at the beginning of the Red River campaign, ascending the river in a small steamer within a few miles of Fort De Russey before the expedition had made its start up the river, meeting General Smith the following morning with his com- mand at the entrance to the river. On Oct. 27, 1863, he was commissioned First Lieutenant in the Forty-first Massachusetts Volunteers, and in Apr., 1864, visited the north with General Andrews, who was on sick leave. On July 12, 1864, was commissioned by President Lincoln as Paymaster of United States Army and ordered back to the Department of the Gulf with headquarters at New Orleans. On Oct. I, 1864, he resigned his commission as Paymaster owing to ill health, and returned north; but owing to severe malaria contracted in the service, was obliged in Feb., 1866, to visit the Azores, and remained at Fayal, and St. Michaels at the Hot Springs until June, when he returned home. On his return he entered the employ of the Merchants' Union Express Company and during the last thirty FISKE GENEALOGY. 495 .years has remained in the same business, now the American Express Company, having had for several years during that period charge of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s banking business until they withdrew that part of their business from Boston. He 3is at the present time, and has been for many years, a member of the Massachusetts ■Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, and for several years j)ast has been treasurer of the Parish of All Saints, Dorchester (Boston) ; res. iombard St., Dorchester, Mass. 5228. i.

He graduated at Harvard University in 1818, and ■after pursuing his studies for the practice of medicine, removed to the town of Hingham. His father will be remembered as the founder and proprietor of the iirst, and for many years the only, nursery of fruit and ornamental trees in the -country, and to whom in the first instance, this city is indebted for so much of the Tural beauty which distinguishes it. Dr. Fiske inherited his father's taste and pas- sionate love of nature. Before leaving permanently his native place, he originated -and helped to execute a work, for which present and future generations of our cit- izens will bless his memory, although few perhaps may know even the name of 'their benefactor. Those beautiful rows of shade trees which line and adorn our Main, Front and Park Streets, were chiefly planted by an association of young 'jnen, then pursuing their legal and medical studies in the town, among whom Dr. Fiske was the most active. Frequently in later years has he pointed out to the writer of this notice an elm or ash or maple which his own hands had planted, ■that others might enjoy the shade thereof. In his adopted home, the same refined "taste and public spirit have ever characterized him. The conversion of the old "neglected town burial ground, which had been used for more than 200 years, into a "beautiful, romantic, well kept rural cemetery, a task so difficult of accomplishment that it has scarcely in any other instance been undertaken, the embellishment of his -own home, furnishing motive and incentive to like efforts by others, the educa- tional and other institutions of the town, the blessings of the poor to whom he ministered, and the respect of all, are proof of the good works, and monuments to the memory of the 'Good Physician.'

Fiske about the time of the building of the Erie Canal came to Lenox, Madison County, N. Y., to get into what was then ■called the west. He went without a penny and walked the last thirteen miles on a snowy, slushy day. He brought grain by wagon load down to Albany, traded for 496 FISKE GENEALOGY. groceries and other commodities and sold them in Lenox to the Indians and set- tlers. Later he established a store, finally two stores, one at Oneida Lake. He formed a partnership with a Mr. Rowland (Howland & Fiske), burned the woods in that section to procure the ashes to manufacture potash. He did a successful business for fifty years, and was known as Major Fiske, one of the Inspector-Gen- erals of the State of New York. He was elected to several political offices, but the latter years of his life he was a private banker and broker, under the firm name of William E. Fiske & Son. He died at Canastota. William E. Fiske was a man of character and ability, of the strictest integrity; while delicate and modest he never failed to stand by his opinion. He was a strong anti-slavery man; his house was a station on the underground railroad. He was also a strong temperance man and organized the first temperance society in his county. He wrote and lectured for the cause, and his writings and lectures were pronounced fine. He died beloved and respected by all those who knew him. He d. Nov. 23, 1873; res. Lenox and Canastota, N.

Apr. 8, 1818, Martha Stearns, b. Oct. 19, 1787, dau. of Isaac, of Ashburnham; d. Oct. 2, 1868. Sewall Fiske was born on the old farm at Weston, and lived and died there. The old English custom has been observed by our ancestors from the first settlement at Weston of passing the land from father to son, and there has been no intervention. He was a farmer all his life, and in addition conducted upon the farm a store with a partner and employes, he buying all goods for the same. That was before the days of railroads, and they made a great deal of business by buying out countrymen who were on their way to Boston loaded down with poultry, turkeys, geese, ducks, chickens, etc. They came in droves in the winter time, utilizing the sleighing, and as the great highway through Massachusetts from Vermont and New Hampshire passed through the farm it gave many opportunities for speculation. In the fall he would remain in Boston from Monday morning to Saturday night engaged in disposing of this produce thus purchased from the northern farmers. He commanded, in 1812, a company of infantry that, in connection with one other company, "The Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston," was called out by the State of Massachusetts to defend the arsenal at Watertown. The Bos- ton company is still in existence. They both received their charter from George III. when Massachusetts was an English colony. He was a strong Whig. He was a delegate to the National Convention in Baltimore when Henry Clay was nomi- FISKE GENEALOGY. 497 nated. He and his wife were Congregationalists, members of the church in Lin- coln, two and one-half miles from home. Every Sabbath two teams were em- ployed in carrying the family to church, where the day was spent, and the long sermons of forenoon and afternoon listened to. He was for many years prominent among his townsmen, and was many times elected as Selectman, Assessor and Tax Collector, as well as other town duties. He d. Mar. i, 1872; res.

He was graduated at Dartmouth in 181 7, and had charge of an academy in Newcastle, Me., for a year. He was chosen tutor at Dartmouth in 1818, which post he held two years, and was graduated at Andover Theological Sem- inary in 1823. In November of that year he was ordained as an evangelist, and went to Savannah, Ga., to preach among the seamen and others not be- longing to any church. In April, 1824, while yet in Savannah, he declined an invitation to supply the pastorate in Concord, N. H., during the session of the Legislature, and on the same day he declined the solicitation to rep- resent the American Foreign Mission Board as a missionary to Palestine or to China. He was also offered the pro- fessorship of mathematics and natural philosophy in Middlebury College, Vt., but declined it, and became professor of Latin and Greek in Amherst in 1824, adding to his duties as instructor the department of belles-letters from 1825 till 1833, and from 1833 till 1836 was professor of languages (including the modern) at Amherst. He was transferred to the chair of intellectual and moral philosophy, and held it from 1836 till the time of his death. In 1846, on account of failing healtli, he visited Palestine, where he died, and was buried in Jerusalem on Mount Zion. He was the father of the author Helen Hunt Jackson (q. v.) He published a "Manual of Classical Literature," based upon the German work of J. J. Eschenburg, with additions and a supplemental volume of plates (Philadelphia, 1836; 4th ed., 1843); "Sermons" (1850); "Young Peter's Tour Around the World," and "Story of Aleck; or. The History of Pitcairn's Island." His biography was pubHshed, with selections from his sermons and other writings, by Herman Humphrey, D. D. (Amherst, 1850). He d. May 27, 1847; res.

She died in San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 12, 1885. She was the daughter of Prof. Nathan W. Fiske, of Amherest, and was educated at the Ipswich, Mass., female seminary. In October, 1852, she'married Capt. Edward B. Hunt. She had become known as a contributor to periodi- cal literature, under the signature of "H. H.," when in October, 187s, she married William S. Jackson, and thereafter spent much of her time in Colorado Springs, where her husband was a banker. She became actively interested in the treatment of the Indians by the U. S. Government in 1879, and strove to better the condition of that race. In 1883 she was appointed special commissioner to examine into the condition of the Mission Indians of California, and while thus engaged she studied the history of the early Spanish missions. From her death-bed she wrote to the President a pathetic appeal with reference to "righting the wrongs of the Indian race." Her published works include "Verses" (Boston, 1870; enlarged ed., 1874); "Bits of Travel" (1872); "Bits of Talk About Home Matters" (1873); "Bits of Talk for Young People" (1876); "Bits of Travel at Home" (1878); "Nelly's Silver Mine" (1878); "The Story of Boon" (1879); "Letters from a Cat" (1880); "A Century of Dishonor," referring to the Indians (New York, 1881); "Mammy Tittleback and Her Family" (1881); "The Training of Children" (1882) ; "The Hunter Cats of Con- norloa" (1884); "Ramona" (1884); "Zeph" (1886); "Glimpses of Three Coasts" (1886); "Sonnets and Lyrics" (1886); "Be- tween Whiles" (1887); also "Mercy Philbrick's Choice" (1876) and "Hetty's Strange History" (1877), contributed to the "No-Name Series."

H., was born in Medfield, Mass. In early manhood he settled in Marlow, and opened a country store at what is known as Marlow Hill, where he con- ducted a thriving and prosperous business, until what is now Marlow Village be- came the principal place in that town; his store and family were then removed to that village. There he continued to thrive and became the foremost citizen of that town, both in wealth and position. He married Eliza Stone, of that town, who was a most estimable lady.

May 22, 1830, Hannah Rogers Bradford, b. July 7, 1810; d. Oct. 29, 1880. Augustus H. Fiske was born in Weston, Mass. His father was Isaac Fiske, and his mother Sukey (Hobbs) Fiske. He was educated, at the Framingham Academy, and graduated from Harvard in 1825. He practiced law in Boston all his life. He lived in Boston until about 1848, when he moved back to Weston, still retaining his office in Boston. He was FISKE GENEALOGY. 501 one of the leaders of the bar of his time. His wife was Hannah Rogers Bradford, a daughter of the late Capt. Gamaliel Bradford, of Bos- ton, formerly of Duxbury, Mass. Mr. Fiske's learning as a lawyer was large and always ready for use, his judgment was prompt and sound, his instincts rarely at fault. His industry was untiring, and his executive talent so great that he des- patched without aid and without apparent effort an amount of business detail which would seem incredible to any one who had not witnessed it. His sagacity in mat- ters of business as well as in what pertained directly to his profession was remark- able. There are few of our merchants and business men who have not had occasion to appreciate and profit by it. With these qualities, and with a genial tem- per, a hearty manner, and a devotion to the interests of his clients, which even on his deathbed never let him spare himself, it is not surprising that he reached a position in his profession to which there are few parallels, and enjoyed more of th^ substantial fruits of success than has perhaps' ever fallen to the lot of any other member of the Boston bar.

He went by water to Boston, Mass., and from there overland in a "C" spring coach. He was a man of means when he left Boston, but in exchange for $40,000 in gold — quite a for- tune in those days — he took bills on a Detroit, Mich., bank. On his arrival in Cincinnati, Ohio, he learned that the Michigan bank had burst and he was with- out much ready cash. His daughter Hannah had the bills in her possession for a long time. While residing in Maine he owned what was known in those days as the "Owls Head," a celebrated point on the coast of Maine. He resided at Camden and Thomaston, Me. He was a Mason in high standing and on his re- moval to Kentucky organized a blue lodge. He died of "milk sickness," a dis- ease not known much nowadays. He was a very large man and weighed 260 pounds. He purchased 1,000 acres of land which was left to the family on his death. He d. about 1835; res. Camden, Me., Readfield, Ohio, and , Ky. S302-18. i.

For many years he was the only Fiske in the New York directory where he lived, until he engaged in the iron business in Pennsylvania. He finally settled in New York about 1849, and remained until he moved to New Jersey, where he died as I have recorded.

He was born in Rhode Island, but while a young man was employed in Globe Village in the Fisk mills there. He was employed in various places in Massachusetts and Connecticut and while living in Long Meadow formed a part- nership with his brother-in-law, under the firm name of Fisk & Royce, and en- gaged in the manufacture of repeating rifles, about the first ever made. The partnership was dissolved soon after and Mr. Fisk removed to Pleasant Valley, Conn., where with his wife he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. He fol- lowed his trade and for some time was engaged in Colt's Armory. Soon after the death of his wife in 1848 he moved to Springfield, Mass., and was employed in the United States Armory. He ever after resided in Springfield. He was a very in- dustrious and temperate man all his life; well educated; honest and upright in his dealings, and kept well posted on all matters of the day, especially mechanics; he being a good natural mechanic from the start was therefore a good workman and toolmaker, and held some responsible positi/Dns. He had a large job on barrels at Colt's Armory; was foreman of Springfield Arms Company; superintendent of Young & Leavitt's Pistol Works, and other positions.

He settled at Sutter Creek, where he was engaged in mining, and was elected State Senator from that district. From there he went to Woodland. He was instrumental in the erection of the Hesperian College there. The last twenty years he has resided in San Francisco, in which place he com- manded the respect and esteem of every one familiar with his eventful career, being a member of the board of health and school director. The doctor began the prac- tice 6f medicine when he was 18 years of age. For a long time he was employed by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in that capacity.

Later he returned east and for some time was in Wrentham and Sturbridge, and afterward at Kingston, Mass. At each of these places he learned something of the business methods which, in a few years, were to prove so beneficial to him in his business career. Finding but few chances open to him in the east, he decided to go west again. For a few years he was in Madison, Ind., later at Aurora, 111., finally locating in Ottawa, in the same State, in 1856. There he has resided for nearly half a century, honored and respected by the entire community. He has been in the manufacturing business; also mer- chant tailor. In i88g he visited California, and with his family traveled over the Continent of Europe, sojourned at Rome, Naples, Alexandria and Cairo. Took a trip up the Suez Canal. In 1892, with his family, he took a trip around the world, spending some time in the Sandwich Islands, in Japan, Yokohama, Canton, St. Petersburg, Spain, and other countries.

Was fitted for Harvard College, but deciding that he would not pursue a professional life, determined upon a practical textile education and learned woolen manufacturing. A desire for travel and adventure led him to associate himself with the wool trade in Philadelphia, which' offered opportunity for satisfying these inclinations. Developing a talent for the business, he formed, together with John Dobson and Frank H. Keen, the wool house of Louis S. Fiske & Co., which is a most promi- nent, successful and progressive firm.

Y, He was the second son in a list of eight brothers. At an early age he went with his father, Sylvanus Fisk, to Genesee County, N. Y. While a boy he learned the carpenter and joiner's trade but did not work at it more than a small portion of his early manhood. At the age of 19 he settled on a portion of what was known as the Poultney heirs' tract of land in the town of Stafford; married at 21 and lived on it or another tract adjoining which he came in possession of later, all his remaining days. Early he made an agreement — articled — for his holdings at $S per acre, and for more than twenty years he labored under that article, paying six per cent, compound interest. In the meantime he had cleared it and so improved it that it would readily sell at about $100 per acre; besides he had cared well for his family and indulged his hospitality and generosity largely. He refused $100 per acre for his farm by telling the man who offered it, "If it is worth that to you it is to me. I made it to live on and die on," and he did, at the age of 86 years.

Solon Fisk was born in Albany, Orleans Coun- ty, Vt. The first twenty years were spent in Vermont, living in Albany, Brookfield, Bethel (with his grand- father), Montpelier, Berlin, Royalton,^ Hancock and Castleton; taught school four successive winters, beginning with the winter of 1842-43. At the close of his fourth school, in the spring of 1846, he went to Massachusetts, learned trade of machinist, working in Lowell, Bos- ton, Annam and Charlestown, mostly on locomotive engines. In 1849 he re- moved to Concord, N. H., working as machinist for Northern Railroad Com- pany. In 1850 he became a locomotive engineer, and as such helped to build the Vermont & Canada Railroad, living in Milton and St. Albans, on the line of that road. In 1851 and 1852 he lived in Bur- lington, Vt., engineer of all passenger trains between Burlington and Essex Junction, six miles out. In 1853 he was employed on new locomotive engines by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Com- pany, in Manchester, N. H. In 1854- went to Zanesville, Ohio, and was employed there for four years in various capacities on Central Ohio Railroad, Co- lumbus to Bellaire, as assistant master of machinery (at Bellaire), conductor, en- gineer, and finally contractor, to furnish this Central Ohio Railroad with wood, at that time used exclusively as fuel for locomotives, which contract he held for two- years (and more). Then quitting railroading forever, as he thought, he read law, and- was admitted to practice at Newark, Ohio, but belonged to the bar of Zanesville; followed this and the mining of coal, in which he was interested, through the war, but having a hankering for running a locomotive again, took a position offered, him in 1865 on the Chicago & Alton Railroad, living for two years in Alton, the rest of the time in Bloomington. He continued at this business much longer than he designed to. In Nov., 1876, he quit it and has since then lived retired, m Bloomington; res. Bloomington, 111. 5416. i. JOHN LEONARD, b.

JOSIAH FISK (Nathan, Josiah, Nathan, William, Nathan, Na- than, Nathaniel, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Penfield, N. Y., Nov. 12, 1812; m. at Austin, Tex., Aug. 10, 1848, Narcissa L. White; d. Mar. 30, 1858; m. 2d, Oct. 10, i860, Vashti Harkness, b. Mar. 4, 1821. He was born in Penfield, N. Y., and worked on the farm until his father's death in 1826. After do- ing various kinds of farm work and attending the district school, he went to Massachusetts to live with his father's brother. He attended the Cummington Academy, and later taught school in Yates, N. Y. One of his brothers was attending Hanover College in Indiana, and desiring a better education availed himself of an invitation to go there to school. At the commencement exercises he was chosen one of the speakers. After graduation he taught school in Galla- tin Co., Ky., for a year and also began the study of law. Going to Jacksonville, 111., he studied law with Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, and was later admitted to the bar and to practice in all the courts of the State. He opened an office in Hills- boro in 1835 and was at once elected Justice of the Peace, and in 1838 he was elected Representative to the Legislature, serving in the last session ever held in the old State House in Vandalia and the first in the new State House in Springfield, the present capital. Usher F. Linder, the Attorney-General of Illinois, was indicted for assault with intent to commit murder and suspended from office, and he acted as Attorney-General until Linder was tried and acquitted and resumed the office. In the fall of 1845 he removed to Texas. In 1846 he enHsted and served as Corporal in the war against Mexico. At the close of the war he engaged in the practice of law and in locating and buying and selling land. He owned 2,000 acres of land in Austin, Tex. When the Civil War broke out he was opposed to seces- sion, and was obliged to flee to save his life. His property, which was quite val- uable, was confiscated, and his adventures which he experienced while escaping to the south were very thrilling. On arriving in New Orleans he began the prac- tice of law and acted as District Attorney of Jefiferson Parish. He has always believed in the Methodist Church since he can remember. He was licensed as an exorter, then as a local preacher and next admitted into the Louisiana Conference with an understanding that his appointment should be only nominal, and that he should be allowed to continue the practice of law and pr^ch wherever called upon without any expense to the church. When the Constitu- tional Convention met and elected their officers the question came up for electing a chaplain. Several of the most eminent preachers of the United States were in the city. The members were divided in their choice. Mr. Wicklifif, a delegate, arose and moved that Mr. Fisk be elected chaplain, for he could make the best prayer of any preacher in the city. One delegate arose and said: "Mr. President, the gentleman has made a very bold assertion. I would like for him to prove it." Mr. Wicklifif arose and stated "Mr. Fisk can make the shortest prayer of any of the preachers here." That settled the question, and he was unanimously elected. He had not named the office to any person. He continued to practice law during the week and to preach Sundays until 1881, when he removed to Coun- cil Bluffs, la. A Chicago paper recently published this: "Council Bluffs, la., March S. 1896.— Josiah Fisk today received notification that his claim against the city of New Orleans had been settled, and he will receive about $4,000. "Fisk was a law student in the office of Abraham Lincoln. President Grant appointed him District Attorney for one of the branches of the city of New Or- leans in 1S68, and he served through the trying days of reconstruction. He was in office ten years. The Ku-Klux-Klan was active in that locality, and Fisk was equally active in running it down. He was finally advised to leave town, but declined. "Soon after a man who resembled Fisk in appearance was killed by the Ku- klux, and Fisk had to leave. He subsequently sued th? city for his salary. Every 518 FISKE GENEALOGY. effort was made to evade payment. Fisk got judgment for $9,500, and finally set- tled for $4,000." Res. 147 Benton St., Council Bluffs, la. 5461. i. GIDEON GREENLEAF, b.

Manlove, dau. of Col. Manlove; m. 2d, at Bastrop, Mrs. Mary (Piper) Hawkins, b. Feb. 25, 1833. Judge Greenleaf Fisk was born in New York State. At the age of 20 he professed Christ and united with the Presbyterian Church, and began to study for the ministry. He pursued his studies so far as to take one year in Lanes Theological Seminary, at Cincin- nati. Leaving there, he studied a short time at Hanover College, Ind. After a time he and a companion embarked in a skiff on the Ohio River, and started for the west. He came to Texas while it was under Mexican rule. He married at Bastrop, Mary A., daughter of Col. Manlove. When the war of Texas Independ- ence broke out, he enlisted and served through the entire war. He was present at the battle of San Jacinto, Apr. 21, 1836. Returning to his home, he found that his wife had been compelled by the Mexicans to seek safety in eastern Texas. He at length found her, having a child nearly a year old, which he had never seen. He was a member of Congress under the Republic of Texas. He afterwards moved to Williamson county, where his wife died, and he married Mrs. Mary Haw- kins. From 1838 and onward, he made several trips to Brown county, in the capacity of surveyor, on one of which trips he was captured by the Indians, but afterwards released. He located most of the land since owned by him, in Brown county. In i860 he moved to Brown county, and camped on the site of his rock residence in town. When the county was organized, in 1861, he was elected County Judge, and subsequently filled the office of District Clerk; County Clerk, County Treasurer, and Justice of the Peace. Since that time he has been closely identified with all the interests of Brown county. In Dec, 1886, he united with the Presbyterian Church. By failing strength, he was compelled to take his bed, and after five months of confinement, he passed peacefully away. The funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian Church. In accordance with procla- mation of the Mayor, all business houses in town were closed, and the church was packed to its uttermost capacity. Seldom has been expressed such a general sense of bereavement as well as sympathy for the afflicted family. The deceased had seven children by his first wife, two of whom still live. He had eight chil- dren by his second wife, all of whom live. He lived to see three great-grandchil- dren. Thus has passed away another of the old land marks. He d. Jan. 26, 1888; res.

For many years he kept the only store in the place, and when railroads and the lum- ber business stimulated its growth, he continued for some time to be one of its leading men of business, and accumulated considerable property. He often acted as executor, administrator or trustee, and was prominent in the public affairs of the town, serving it several times in local office and the State Legislature. Generally known as the "Squire," he was held in high esteem for his practical capacity and unswerving integrity. He was prominently connected with the Methodist Church. The last ten or fifteen years of his life were spent in quiet leisure. Mr. Fiske evef took a lively interest in the progress of the town, and had the confidence of his fellow citizens to a marked degree, so in the conduct of public aflfairs his judg- ment always, and his services often, were sought and obtained when the political party with which he was conscientiously allied was in the majority, and from 1836, the date of the first election to public service, for twenty-five years no name appears oftener in the civil list of the town than Ralph Fiske. He was of very positive nature; had his own ideas of right and justice, and never swerved from his own conceptions of duty. For fifty years he was an earnest, consistent mem- ber of the Methodist Church, and to his interest and encouragement does that society in Whitefield largely owe its present prosperity. His faith was not of that stern, unrelenting kind which we might expect, knowing that his early re- ligious training was from a venerated mother, whose Calvinism was of the unmiti- gated sort. He d.

Generally he lived on a farm, but in his earlier years he had worked at the trade of mason and bricklayer, and often took jobs of that kind in later life. He was married seven times and succeeded in leaving a widow, who is still living at Lyme. Like all others of that generation, he was held in high respect by all who knew him, and was of a rather more genial dis- FISKE GENEALOGY. 621 5507- SSo8. IV. 5509- 11. SSio. 111. SSii- V. SSI2.

Frederick spent all his active life in the village of Lancaster, and for many years kept a hotel there known as the American House. It was a strictly temperance tavern, and at one time the leading hostelry of the place, and a resort of White Mountain travel in its earlier and simpler days. Selling the hotel property he engaged in the business of putting in drainage and water works in the growing village, partly by contract for the town and partly as a private undertaking. He was still engaged in this enterprise at the time of his death. He d. Jan. 4, 1873; res. Whitefield, and Lancaster, N. H. SS13. i. DIANTHA, b. Mar. 19, 1830; m. Feb. 13, 1856, Alvin Rose- brooks.

He and his brother Royal freighted a vessel with sawed lumber and sent it '"round the Horn," and when it got to San Francisco the cargo was worth less in the market there than it cost on the New England coast. He had less predilection for city life than his brother Royal and went into the mountains and mining regions. He finally seems to have become permanent at Murphy's Ranche, now known as "Murphy's," where he was still living at last ac- counts. Res. Murphy's, Cal. 5522. i. MARY JANE, b. May 14, 1841; m. Geo.

SS4S- IV. the war of 1812 the family returned to Chesterfield. Here his boyhood was spent. His educational advantages were limited to the district schools of that day with a term or two at the Chesterfield Academy. When about 20 years of age he ac- companied the family in its removal to Skip-Muck, now Chicopee Falls, Mass. Here he found employment. He removed to Constantia, now West Monroe, Oneida Co., N. Y. After a residence of two years and a half here he returned to Massachusetts and again located at Chicopee Falls, being employed in the mills at that place. From this time (1835) until 1849 he was employed in the cotton mills a greater part of the time. In the spring of 1849 on account of ill health he removed to Granby, Mass., and began farming, which occupation he followed as long as his physical powers permitted. He suffered from deafness for many years, which increased with age. In June, 1886, his wife died, and during the re- mainder of his life he made his home with his youngest son (A. W. Fiske).

Francis Fisk, son of Asa and Susanna (Partridge) Fisk, was born in Holliston, Mass., Feb. 26, 1807. At an early age he left the paternal farm, deciding, as he used to say, that "if the earth would let him alone he would never scratch her face any more." He went to Boston, and after many discouragements, found employment in the retail grocery business. He gradually rose until he became proprietor of the business, but at about the age of 35 he lost the sight of one eye, after an unsuccessful operation for cataract. The sight of the other gradually failing he was obliged to retire from business. In 1857 he removed to Charlestown, Mass., where he spent the remainder of his days. He married for his first wife, Mercy C. Cooper. Of this union no descendants survive. He mar- ried second, Anna Amy Aldrich, youngest daughter of Lyman and Anna (Bennett) Aldrich, of Northbridge, Mass. Of the five children by this marriage, all but two died young. The survivors are Lyman Beecher Fisk, of Cambridge, Mass., and Emma Augusta (Fisk) Green, of Westmoreland, N. H. Though a great sufferer from his eyes for more than half of his life, he bore it all with heroic fortitude until he 4)assed away, beloved by his family and relatives, honored and respected by all who knew him.

At the age of six years he removed with his parents to Charles- town, Mass., where he completed the course of study in the primary, grammar and high schools, and in the last named was prepared for college. He entered Harvard College in 1869, and was graduated in 1873, with the degree A. B. cum laude. With the intention of finally entering the medical profession, he gave a few years to teaching, but while hold- ing the position of principal of the high school at Keene, N. H., in 1876, his health failed so completely that he was obliged to resign, and for a number of years was unfitted to engage in active business of any kind. In 1882 he received from the corporation of Harvard University, an appointment as auditor of the Harvard Dining Association, and still holds (Dec, 189s) that position. 5576. vi. FRANKLIN P., b.

Mansfield, Mass., June 26, 1839, Chloe Catherine Stone, b. Feb. 20, 1817, Nor- ton, Mass., d. Sept. 17, 1893. Their golden wedding was celebrated in Wilbraham, in June, 1889. Rev. Franklin Fisk, son of Moses Fisk and Sibella Jennison, was born in Framingham, Mass. He is next to the youngest of eight children, six brothers and two sisters, all of whom lived to be more than 64 years old. He was educated in the public schools of Natick, Mass., and at the Wesleyan Academy, Wilbraham, Mass., which he attended in 1832-3-4. During the years 1832-6 he taught several terms of school in various parts of Massachusetts, with great success. In 1836 he joined the New England Conference of the Methodist Episco- pal Church, taking appointments in almost all parts of Massachusetts, and some in Connecticut, continuing in the active ministry for more than thirty years. He married Chloe Catharine Stone, who was a student with him at Wilbraham. To them were born eight children, four sons and four daughters, five of whom are still living. In 1867 he suffered a stroke of paralysis, which compelled him to leave the active work of the ministry. He settled at Wilbraham and became one of the well known residents. His beloved wife was taken from him by heart failure in 1893, after a happy union of fifty-four years. He has since resided with his children, under the shadows of Northwestern and Denver Universities, and Bates College. "Father" Fisk has been a famous character in connection with New England Methodism. Genial and social in temperament, keenly interested in all the affairs of the church, remarkably energetic in attendance upon camp meet- ings and religious assemblies far and near, he is very widely known and uni- versally beloved. He and his wife were teachers. All his surviving children and all their wives and husbands have been teachers. The best known are Prof. Herbert F. Fisk, D.

From that time until the spring of 1883, he knocked about Colorado in search of health, living a part of the time at Poncha Springs, on the very frontier, and practicing medicine in a desultory man- ner. In May, 1883, he located in Denver, and was stricken down in the fall of the same year with a severe attack of rheumatic fever, accompanied with diabetes insipidus, from the effects of which latter trouble he has since suffered con- tinuously. In the spring of 1884 he was elected to a chair in the medical department of the University of Denver, and has occupied in succession the chairs of anatomy, nervous dis- eases, and the practice of medicine, in that university, which latter chair, as professor of the practice of medicine, he still holds. In 1884 he was made secretary of the faculty, and held that position until the spring of 1895, when they elected him dean. In June, 1884, his alma mater, Yale, gave him the degree of Master of Arts. In June, 1887, he joined the American Climatological Association; in 1888 he was elected president of the Colorado State Medical Society; in i8go he was elected a member of the Association of American Physi- DK.

FISKE (Isaac, Moses, Isaac, John, Nathaniel, Nathan, Nathaniel, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Nash- ville, Tenn., Jan. 24, 1809; m. Cumberland, R. I., May 26, 1839, Louisa Brown, of Lime Rock, b. Cumberland, R. I., Mar. 11, 1816. Oliver Johnson Fiske was born in the city of Nashville, Tenn., on the 24th day of January, 1809, and died in Crawfordsville, Ind., Jan. 8, 1886. He was the son of Isaac and Elizabeth (John- Son) Fiske, both of whom were from New England. Soon after the birth of Oliver they returned to Massachusetts and lived upon a farm in the town of Framingham in that State. The subject of our sketch was the second of five brothers. The common school education which he received in that village only gave him a keener appetite for acquiring a more extensive knowledge. To go away to attend school was out of the question, as his parents were poor. He determined, however, to overcome all obstacles and not allow the prize which he so much desired to slip away, from him. Acting under the advice of some friend he arranged a course of study. Every moment when not at work on the farm he was mastering Latin and Greek. While his companions were at play he was at study, and oftentimes sitting up until after midnight pursuing the course he had marked out. During this time there was a revival of religion at the Baptist Church at Framingham. He attended the meetings and was converted. Soon after he became impressed with the desire to preach the gospel. At last a way was opened for him to attend school at South Read- ing, Mass., after which he went to the theological school at Newton, remaining there one year. He made up his mind that he would obtain a full collegiate education and entered Brown University in the junior class and graduated in the class of 1837. In 1838 he was duly ordained at the Baptist Church at Lime Rock, Smith- field, R. I., and became pastor of that church. His labors here were successful; many were added to the church and the older members were revived, and when he resigned his pastorate the church was in a strong, healthy condition. He ac- cepted a position as principal of a young ladies' seminary at Stewart's Creek, County of Rutherford, Tenn. In 1839, before leaving Lime Rock, he married Miss Maria Louisa Brown, of Cumberland, R. I. She was a great help to him in his work as a teacher. Here he remained for about two years, and owing to the unhealthtulness of the place where the seminary was situated he was obliged to give up his school, and he accepted a situation to become principal of a boys' school in Robertson County, Tenn. So successful was he here as a teacher that he had many flattering inducements to go elsewhere to teach in different parts of the south. He accepted an offer to become principal of an academy at Nashville, Tenn. Here he prepared young men for college. He received many letters from the members of faculties and presidents of colleges' complimenting him on the thorough manner in which his students were prepared to enter on their college course. In 1850 he. was called to the presidency of Enon College, at Gallatin, Tenn., which position he accepted. Being connected with this institution brought him in touch with the denomination he so much loved. Almost every Sabbath he preached, sometimes going several hundred miles to preach at associatiotis and large churches. Many of his sermons were printed in the Tennessee Baptist and other religious papers. In 1855, on account of his wife's health and desirous of bringing up his family in a free State, he removed to Bloomington, 111., where for twenty years he was engaged in pastoral work and holding evangelistic meetings. FISKE GENEALOGY. 535. He did not keep a record of the number of persons converted under his preachings but it would amount to hundreds. When completely worn out by hard work and failing health he went to live with his son Charles H. Fiske, at Crawfordsville, Ind. His last illness was a brief one, but it found him cheerful and. bright and in a hope full of immortality. It was the peaceful end of a man whose whole life had. been one of self-sacrificing devotion to the promotion of the interests of education and religion. Mr. Fiske had three children, Edwin B. Fiske, of Rochester, N. Y., lawyer; Oliver Edgar Fiske, who died of typhoid fever when 17 years of age, and. Charles H. Fiske, who resides now in the city of Indianapolis, Ind. His wife is. still living, though in feeble health. He d. Jan. 8, 1886; res. Nashville, Tenn., and Crawfordsville, Ind. 5694. i. EDWIN B., b. Dec. 16, 1841; m. Frances M. Price and Pris- cilia M.

Framing- ham, Mass., Oct. 22, 1819; m. at Waltham, Dec. 28, 1843, Caroline Matilda Smith, b. Feb. 7, 1822. He was born in Framingham, and learned the trade of harness maker. At the age of 21 he went to Waltham. and engaged in business, when he was appointed deputy sherifif under Sherifif Hildreth, serving under both sheriffs. Keys and Kimball, and at the death of the latter, being senior deputy, he became acting sherifif. At the end of the year he was elected sheriff for three years, and his term would have expired the first of Jan., 1884. At the time of his succession to the office of high sheriff he had served as deputy thirty consecutive years. Mr. Fiske was always popular, running ahead of his ticket at elections. The members of the bar recognized in him a man who was eminently qualified for his office. He was often chosen moderator of the town meetings in Waltham, for a long time acted as coroner, had been justice of the peace, deputy collector of internal revenue, and assistant internal revenue assessor. He was a member of the board of water commissioners for Waltham one term of three years and declined re-election. He was an active Republican, always taking a lively interest in elections, and was an old member of the Middlesex Club. He d. Aug. 27, 1883; res. Waltham, Mass. GEORGE S., b. .
