BOSTON THE EVERETT PRESS 1909 To My Cousins JOHN RUSSELL BABCOCK AND HIS SISTER SUSAN H. BABCOCK This Record Is Gratefully Dedicated By the Author t'^: u< I ^/' ^J^- PREFACE. After publishing the Brown Genealogy, in 1907, the author of this genealogy took up first the records of his great-great-grandfather Nathaniel Babcock, Sr., in lineal descent from James Babcock, who settled in Ports- mouth, R. I., in 1642, but removed to Westerly, R. I., in 1662, where his second son, John, who married Mary Lawton, had settled; thus through regular lines of descent, and giving more particular records than were given when that part of the Babcock Genealogy was published, in 1903, bringing the records down to 19 10. Stephen Babcock, of Yonkers, N. Y., has granted me permission to use as much of the early history of the Babcock Family as may be of interest to the descendants of Nathaniel Babcock, Sr. This Babcock record is also supplemented by the descendants of Simeon Main and Martha York, carrying the records on from the last given in the Brown Genealogy; also by the descendants of Isaac Miner and Katurah Brown. The Ezekiel Main Family has received by far the most extended research. Ezekiel Main removed to Stonington, Conn., about 1670. The records begin on page 49. My plan of research has been to search town records, to visit burying-grounds, to send hundreds of personal letters with blanks to be filled out, and to make personal visits. This all means labor and expense, which the author has personally assumed, soliciting no subscriptions ex- cept from John D. Babcock's family (51), page 26. To this family belongs the credit of financial support in commencing this work; but it has been extended far beyond my expectations. Much of the matter has been sub- mitted to the persons interested for their approval and correction, thus making the genealogy as reliable as possible, but taking much added time to complete the book. The compiler believes he has succeeded in collecting a vast amount of material that has never before been printed; also in establishing several lines of descent connecting with the progenitor, Ezekiel Main. In the preparation of this work the compiler of this volume has been assisted by many families who are deeply interested in knowing this work is being done. Therefore he desires to make further acknowledgment of valuable assistance rendered by: Stephen Main Family, Westerly, R. I. Mrs. Lydia E. Harris, Eagleville, Conn. PREFACE Robert Palmer Main's descendants, Wisconsin. Lewis Avery Main, Cedar Rapids, la. Mrs. Lillian M. Porter, Brockton, Mass. Dr. Frank D. Maine, Springfield, Mass. Dr. C. Wesley Hale, Springfield, Mass. Hubert P. Main, Newark, N. J. Eli Gilbert Main, Waterbury, Conn. Alonzo Main, Old Mystic, Conn. Mrs. Nathan T. Main, Laurel Glen, Conn. The writing of this genealogy has been a labor of love; and, like most genealogical works, an expensive gratification, which I do not regret. If the living families mentioned in this volume but appreciate my untiring labors in placing in a tangible form the records of the fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters I shall feel my labors have not been in vain. Cyrus Henry Brown, March, igio. Westerly, R. L INTRODUCTION. "People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestry." — Edmund Burke. When we were young we were looking toward the future; in middle life we are too busy to give any attention but to the present; but as years progress we begin to look backward to our ancestors. More than twoscore years have passed since the Civil War, yet that terrible struggle abides in the memory of many now living; but more than three times as many years have passed since the movement began which resulted in American Independence. As we look back still farther to the landing of the Pilgrim fathers we catch but glimpses of our ancestry in all these decades which have passed in the Colonial and Revolutionary periods. So the distance widens that separates us from our ancestors. Yet we can better understand our own times if in youthful days we came in personal contact with those who, in those stirring events, were shaping our history and marching towards civilization in social, political, and religious hberty. The people of the West whose family history was left behind them in old New England need to be reminded of the priceless heritage of their fathers and mothers, and restore the same to their descendants, so that the West may be indissolubly connected with the development of the East. The study of genealogy would convince most of us that our ancestors were every-day sort of people, who were more familiar with blacksmithing, hewing timber, constructing houses and bams, and who knew more about raising cattle than buying and selling stocks. Their farms and stone walls are monuments stiU standing, reminding us of the strong hands and brawny arms that built them; their long hours of toil are a legacy left to their chil- dren and children's children. Some who read these pages will remember in the early part of the nineteenth century the home-spun articles made in our New England homes. The scene is reaUstic: it is a winter evening; in the fireplace is built the huge fire; the family has gathered in semicircle and, by the light of it, the knitting goes on, while at the back of the circle the buzz of the spinning-wheel is heard; the ponderous loom is there ready to weave the cloth for every-day garments or for the wedding attire. Lest these primeval days be forgotten by the children and the grand- INTRODUCTION. children, this genealogy is written, that the deeds of the fathers and mothers may be kept sacredly in remembrance. Before laying down my pen, I want to extend sincere and hearty thanks to all who have contributed in furnishing data for this book. Many will find under their own names my appreciation of their contributions. C. H. B. Westerly, R. I., January, igoQ. ABBREVIATIONS. b., born. bapt., baptized. Bapt., Baptist. B. G., Brown Genealogy.

After the name of a parent will follow their original number in paren- theses; by turning backward, his or her number will be found with their parents. The children of parents who have numbers in parentheses at the right of their names can be found by corresponding numbers carried forward. After the name of the parents of the head of a family there will foUow in brackets the names of the ancestors in genealogical order. The larger part of these records was obtained by correspondence, but town records, family Bibles, and tombstones have contributed much to these data. Nathaniel Babcock Genealogy. James' Babcock (i), b. 1612, probably in Essex Co., England; d. June 12, 1679; m. (i) Sarah, who d. 1665 or later; m. (2), 1669 (?), Eliz- abeth; she m. (2), Sept. 22, 1679, Wm. Johnson, and settled in Stoning- ton, Conn. His residence for the first twenty years was in Portsmouth, R. I. James Babcock moved to Westerly, R. I., in March, 1662. June 29, 1660, a tract of land, estimated to be twenty miles by ten miles, known as Misquamicut, afterwards Westerly, was purchased from the Indian Chief Sosoa by a company headed by William Vaughn. The company, number- ing sixty or more, was organized at Newport, R. I. The following March, 1661-62, the company made their first permanent settlement at Mis- quamicut (Westerly). The records of Westerly show that James Babcock was a man of sterling integrity and of strong convictions. He was respected by his neighbors, honored and trusted as a citizen, and ready to serve the community in whatever capacity he was appointed. Children by first m. : 2. James^, b. 1641; m. Jane Brown (7-76). 3. John, b. 1644; m. Mary Lawton (8-15). 4. Job, b. 1646; m. Jane Crandall. 5. Mary, b. 1648; m. WilKam Champlin. Children by second m.: 6. Joseph, b. 1670; m. (i) Dorothy Key; m. (2) Mrs. Hannah Coats. Nathaniel, date of birth unknown. Elizabeth, date of birth unknown. James^ Babcock, Jr. (2), son of James and Sarah Babcock, b., Ports- mouth, R. I., 1641; d.. Westerly, now Woodville, R. I., 1698; m. Jane, dau. of Nicholas Brown. She d. 1719. James was a blacksmith and a farmer in that part of Westerly which is now Woodville, Hopkinton, R. I., where he manufactured iron from bog ore and from black sand found on the seashore. Children: 7. James', m. . 7a. Sarah, m. James Lewis, son of John Lewis. They settled in Exeter, R. I. She d. 1740. NATHANIEL BABCOCK GENEALOGY 7b. Jane, m., Richmond, R. I., 1696, Israel Lewis. 7c. Mary, m. George Brown. 7d. Hannah, m. Roger Larkin. 76. Elizabeth, m. Daniel Lewis, brother of James.

Mary Lawton, dau. of George and Elizabeth (Hazzard) Lawton, of Portsmouth. Mary m. (2), Apr. 21, 1698, Erasmus Babbitt; d., Westerly, Nov. 8, 1711. Tradition says that John and iMary eloped from Newport, R. I., in a boat, and married themselves, calling on the moon and stars to witness the solemn vow. They settled on the east bank of the Pawcatuck River, on Massatuxet Cove, two and one half miles from Westerly, on the Watch Hill road, with no neighbors but the friendly Indians, and were not found till several months after, when the parents made inquiry of the Indians, who helped to locate them at Massatuxet Cove. The Indians told them they had a "papoose." This elopement story is classed by some as fiction. If any wish to study these early records they can do so by examining the full and exhaustive reports found in the Babcock Genealogy by Stephen Babcock, New York City, who says: "The town records of Westerly show that in 1669 John Babcock was given the twenty-seventh lot. It is certain he settled in Wes- terly, on the banks of the Pawcatuck River, near what is now Avondale, R. I., and that his oldest son, James, inherited and occupied the homestead. Some of the homestead land has never passed from the ownership of the descendants of John, as the widow of Ezra Babcock, son of Daniel and Nancy (Babcock) Babcock, owns and occupies the house at Avondale, which it is claimed stands upon the same lot on which John and ]Mary (Lawton) Babcock built their first house. In the burying-ground on the east side of the road, about half- way up the hill from the brook (Massatuxet), are buried many of these early settlers, where the stones and tablets that mark their last resting-place are in a good and legible state of preser- vation." As John and ]Mary (Lawton) Babcock are our direct progenitors, this ancient burying-ground is of peculiar interest. John Babcock d. probably in May or Jime, 1685. The inventory of his personal property is dated June 4, 1685, and the property amounted to £790, 3s., and was the largest recorded in the town of Westerly for many years. The children of John^ Babcock (3) and Mary (Lawton) Babcock are mentioned in a wiU in the order given. 1-3 a 5^ M ^ M T3 J C "-P c '3 t3 Tradition — which is often as authentic as the oflEicial record, and always more interesting — says that John Bab- cock, a young man working for Lawton, of Newport, R. I., fell in love with his employer's daughter Mary, — a condition of affairs not pleasing to the father, who forbade all thought of his daughter becoming the wife of a poor laborer. But "Love laughs at locks and bars." The young people cleared away, taking a boat, early one summer morning, sailed along the coast past Point Judith until they rounded Watch Hill and came to what we now know as the mouth of the Pawcatuck River; up this till they reached Massatuksett Cove, where they landed, made friends with the Indians, and made their permanent home — the first of the Babcocks coming to Westerly, R. I. NATHANIEL BABCOCK GENEALOGY Children, all b. in Westerly: 8. James', b. 1663; m. (i) Elizabeth (16-22); m. (2) Content Maxson (24-27). Ann, b. 1665 (?). Mary, b. 1667 (?). 9. John, b. 1669 (?); m.

James' Babcock (8), better known as Captain James, eldest child of John and Mary (Lawton) Babcock, b., Westerly, R. I., 1663; d. there Jan. 17, 1736-37. He was buried in the Babcock burying-ground at Massa- tuxet, as described under John Babcock (3) His grave is covered by a horizontal tablet, six feet long and four feet wide. The inscription upon the tablet is as follows: "In memory of Capt. James Babcock, who died Jan. ye 17th 1736, in ye — year of his age. Having been in his life of ex- tensive charity and beneficence and not wholly silent at his death." The year of his death has been completely obliterated. Tradition says that James was the first white male child bom in Mis- quamicut (Westerly). He m. (i), 1687, tradition says, Elizabeth Saunders, dau. of Tobias Saimders. Another tradition says her name was Elizabeth Babbit. Upon her tombstone, which is near her husband's grave, is in- scribed the following: "Here lieth intered ye body of EUzabeth, ye wife of Capt. James Babcock, died March ye 3rd 1730-1 in the 69th year of her age." James m. (2), in Westerly, by Theodoty Rhodes, Justice, July 7, 1731, Content, eldest child of Jonathan and Content (Rogers) Maxson, b.. Westerly, Jan. 28, 1708-09. She was in the twenty-third year of her age. Captain James's last will, written Jan. 9, 1736-37, provides that his in- fant son James should receive a collegiate education. The family burying-ground is reserved from this farm, "for a burying- place of my relations and as many others as they shall see cause to accept of." No doubt his parents and grandparents were buried upon the same grounds. It has been said of Captain James Babcock that he was as good as he was rich, a true philanthropist, who lived for God and his fellow men. 13 NATHANIEL BABCOCK GENEALOGY Children by first m. : i6.

Her grandfather, Robert Vose, b. in Lancaster, England, about 1599, came to America with his three sons, Edward, Thomas, and Henry, and bought land in Milton July 13, 1654. James* Babcock, Jr., and his wife Sarah (Vose) Babcock settled upon a farm in that part of Stonington which is now Pendleton Hill, No. Ston- ington. It was owned by his father, Capt. James Babcock, and was found afterwards to He partly in Stonington and partly in Voluntown. Much of the land was retained in the family for more than a hundred and fifty years. James and wife Sarah joined Stonington Church (Congregational), Rev. James Noyes, pastor, Aug. 8, 1708, and left with others to form the No. Stonington Church 1727. Records of births, deaths, and baptisms found on town and church records. James, Jr., d. in the forty-third year of his age, and was buried on the farm upon which he lived; later his widow, children, and grandchildren were buried near him. The burying-ground having been overgrown with bushes and briars, and being in a desolate, neglected spot remote from the highway. Col. Andrew J. Babcock, of Springfield, 111., and Stephen Babcock, of New York City, the comprehensive compiler of the Babcock 14 NATHANIEL BABCOCK GENEALOGY Genealogy, in the autumn of 1900, caused the remains of James and his wife, their sons Oliver and Timothy and their wives, to be removed to a well-kept cemetery adjacent to the Pendleton HiU Meeting-house, which was about a mile from the original burying-ground. All of these bodies were found in a measure preserved, although one of them had lain in the ground one hundred and seventy years. Ten years previous to this re- moval the remains of Capt. Oliver Babcock, grandson of James and Sarah (Vose) Babcock, and that of OHver's brother Joshua and wife had been removed to the same cemetery at Pendleton Hill. Children: 28. James', b.

This is the same house where James, Jr., and Sarah (Vose) Babcock lived. The store was burnt in 1866, and was not attached to the house as now. Dr. Joshua* Babcock (22), son of Captain James and Elizabeth Bab- cock [John, James], b.. Westerly, R. I., May 17, 1707; d.. Westerly, Apr. I, 1783; m. (i), Aug.

(She was a great- granddau. of Elder John Maxson, b. 1638-39, who was the first white child bom on the island of Rhode Island, and who was the first pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Westerly.) Ann Babcock d. Aug. 25, 15 NATHANIEL BABCOCK GENEALOGY 1812, aged seventy-one years. She was buried in what is now the First Hopkinton Cemetery. Her grave is a few rods northwest of the " Minis- ters' Monument" (see Brown Genealogy, p. 95). Joshua Babcock graduated at Yale College in the class of 1724, and was the first graduate of this college from Rhode Island. Soon after his graduation he began the study of medicine and surgery in Boston, and about 1730 went to London to attend the hospitals there. On his return he settled in Westerly (being admitted a freeman of the colony Apr. 30, 1734), and for nearly twenty-five years practised his profession extensively. He also opened a retail country store, which it is said did as much business as any like establishment between Boston and New York, and thus in- creased his already large estate. He represented his town in the Colonial Legislature in the years 1740, 1747, i749, i7S2> 1758, i7S9> i773. 1776, and 1778, serving repeatedly as Speaker. He was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the colony from May, 1747, to May, 1749, and from May, 1750, to May, 1764. In this capacity he pronounced the sentence of death upon Thomas Carter for the murder of Jackson. He was one of the original corporators of Brown University, in 1764, and continued on the Board of Fellows until his death. He is recorded in the History of the University as a Seventh Day Baptist. He was connected with that church early in life, but later became a Unitarian in his religious belief. The large colonial mansion which he owned is still standing (1908) upon Quarry HiU, in Westerly, and has just the same appearance it had when the writer saw it in 1851, with the two rows of box each side of the front walk. Benjamin Franklin, when on his official tours through the country as Postmaster-General, frequently made Dr. Babcock's house his resting- place. Tradition says that the favorite sport of the two men was catching blackfish from the ocean, at a place then called Noyes Rocks, now known as Weekapaug. The place is stiU a favorite fishing-groxmd. Dr. Franklin established the first post-office in the town in 1776, and appointed Dr. Babcock postmaster. The receipts of the office for this year were £1, 3s, 8d. Prior to the Revolution the nearest post-office was New London, Conn., twenty miles distant. It is said that George Washington, when passing between New York and Boston, stopped more than once at the home of Dr. Babcock. Dr. Babcock was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence passed by the Legislature of Rhode Island more than two months prior to July 4, 1776 (Arnold's History of Rhode Island). In May, 1775, Joshua Babcock was appointed to carry proceedings of the Rhode Island Assembly to Connecticut. In November, 1775, by Act 16 NATHANIEL BABCOCK GENEALOGY of the General Assembly of Rhode Island, he was appointed Major-General of the colony's forces. This position he held until December, 1776, when he was appointed as a member of the Council of War. He was reappointed to the latter position in the years 1778 and 1779. The Rhode Island records of Revolutionary times show that no man was more active in the service of his country, or held more responsible positions, than did Dr. Joshua Babcock. A history of his remarkable career and merits would fill an interesting volume. His remains were buried near the graves of his parents in the ancient Babcock burial-ground of Westerly. A large and finely sculptured tablet covers his grave. The inscription in part is as follows: This stone covers the mortal PART OP THE HON.

I., dated Jan. 9, 1736, he received two certain tracts of land in Westerly, each containing one hundred acres. This land he sold, Oct. 15, 1741, to Stephen Babcock, of Westerly. In the deed he, James, is mentioned as residing in Stonington. He built a house on this land in 1740, as an inscription, on a board three feet long, over the door in the inside, reads: "This House Was Built by James Babcock, 1740." 17 NATHANIEL BABCOCK GENEALOGY This land is located half way between Stonington and Westerly, on what is now known as "The Daniel Brown Farm." The house stands about one hundred rods east of the road. Children (Wheeler): 35J. Phebe°, b. May 2, 1731; m. Rufus Palmer. 35k. Sarah, b. Feb. 12, 1733. 35I. James, b.

February 25, 1760, Nathaniel Babcock conveyed to his son Nathaniel, Jr., "the east part of the land the grantor now Uves on, in Voluntown, bounded on the south by Stonington land." The second Thursday of Oct., 1772, the General Assembly of Connecti- cut authorized Nathaniel Babcock and Sarah Babcock, joint adminis- trators of the estate of the late Nathaniel Babcock, to sell forty and one- half acres of land. March 25, 1773, the land was sold to Elias Babcock (30). The following day Elias Babcock sold the same land to Nathaniel Bab- cock, Jr. Nathaniel was commissioned Ensign in Connecticut Militia in 1740; Captain, 1750, by the General Assembly of Connecticut (Book 1735-43, p. 291, C.

Babcock, great-grandson of Tim- othy and Thankful (Read) Babcock. Page 58 of Stephen Babcock's Gene- alogy says, "Timothy was a farmer and a merchant, having a cotmtry store adjoining his house." This original store was suflaciently far removed from the house that when it was destroyed by fire, in 1866, the house was not burnt, but is the same house that is probably more than two himdred years old. It stands partly in No. Stonington and partly in Voluntown. The writer of these records (C. H. B.) with his father visited the store burnt in 1866, which was kept by the sons of Capt. Nathan Pendleton in about 1838. The writer's mother, Elizabeth Stewart Babcock, as late as 1886, owned by inheritance a farm one mile west of this famous house now known as "The Capt. Nathan Pendleton House." Here on these farms lived and died, and were buried, east of the road, in the Babcock burying-ground, our great-great-grandfather, James^ Na- thaniel, Elias, Isaiah, Oliver, and Timothy. As many as could be identi- fied have been removed to a better kept cemetery, adjacent to the Pendle- ton Hill Meeting-house. Nathaniel', Jr. (36), son of Nathaniel and Sarah (Billings) Babcock, b..

The Troy Budget of Sept., 1900, had an account of old tecords in the courthouse, dated 1840, including a list of pensioned Revolutionary soldiers then (1840) living in the County of Rens- selaer, N. Y. Among them were the names Reuben Babcock, Sandlake (that part now called E. Poestenkill), and Moses Kendricks, Berlin, same county. After the Revolution- Reuben returned to Stonington or Voluntown, for the following record is found: "Reuben Babcock, of Voluntown, conveyed to Anna Langworthy, of Stonington, for twenty-five pounds, land lying partly in Voluntown and partly in Stonington." Sept. 20, 1783, he conveyed to Anna Langworthy for £30 his whole right, title, and interest in his part, as he said, " of my honored mother's thirds in the real estate of my honored father, Capt. Nathaniel Babcock, as set oflf by the probate court of Plainfield, Ct." In the same sale he conveyed the whole of the share of his thirds " which I bought of Mr. Stephen Hull Jr., and Comfort Hull, his wife, being one fifth part of said thirds of the real estate of my said father Ijdng in three lots containing by estimation 25 acres." Reuben Babcock left Stonington Oct. 16, 1786, and came to New York State. After marriage he bought a farm near Petersburg, and, Nov., 1796, purchased another in that part of Sandlake now called E. Poestenkill, where he lived the rest of his life.

She was a loyal and earnest Christian, a member of the Second Baptist Church, of which her husband was a deacon. At the time of her death she was reading the Bible through in regular course for the thirteenth time. On my visits to her she would hand me her Bible to read and pray with her. Her hospitality was im- bounded, her heart and home always open to friend and stranger. Her na- ture was one of rare tmselfiishness and sympathy, by which she greatly en- deared herself to all with whom she came in contact. She gave herself in unstinted measure to her large family. Her children and grandchildren helped to make her home a home of loveliness and unbounded joy, when the old homestead would resound with songs from the Gospel Hymns. "Her children rise up to call her blessed." 24 NATHANIEL BABCOCK GENEALOGY "A solemn proverb haunts my mind, With meaning deep and vast: The mill will never grind again With waters that are past. "Leave no tender word unsaid; Love, love while life shall last. The mill will never grind again , With waters that are past." For particular records and history, see Brown Genealogy, pp. 57-62.

Wheeler says, " The surname of Miner originated in England during the reign of King Edward the Third, whose reign continued from 1327 to 1377. When preparing for war with France he took progress through Somersett, and came to Mendippe HiU, where lived a man by the name of BuUman, whose extraordinary and suc- cessful efiorts to aid the king in the munitions of war, with one hundred powerful men volimteers in the service, so pleased the king that he granted him a coat-of-arms, with the name of Henry Miner thereon, in recognition of his loyalty and patriotic devotion to him and his cause."

At the age of seventeen Mr. Main went to New York City to work for his uncle, teaching school evenings. Later he became proprietor of a butter- stall in Washington Market, remaining there twenty-three years, and he was very successful in business. He removed from there to Port Richmond, Staten Island, N. Y., and while there held several offices of trust. He was also an extensive dealer in real estate, owning and renting at one time ten houses in New York City. In 1856 he sold his residence at Port Richmond, and removed with his family to the town of his nativity, where he buili and conducted a grist and shingle mill. He assisted with his brothers, and had the supervision in building a commodious house for his father and mother, about 1844, on the site of the old homestead, half a mile south of Pendleton Hill Meeting-house. He was a highly respected citizen, friend, and neigh- bor, and a valuable member of the Third Baptist Church, leaving the precious legacy of Christian manhood to his sons and daughters and grand- children, worthy of emulation. Mrs. Main is a woman of unusual strength of character, and has a warm heart, ever manifesting true motherly affection and self-sacrificing interest for the welfare of her children and grandchildren. The same hands that cared for the first-bom are rendering loving service to the third generation. She is much pleased that these family records are to have a place in history for future generations. 59 THE EZEKIEL MAIN FAMILY Son by first m.: Stephen, b. ; d. aged three years.

Sept. 22, 1822, both of Stonington, Conn. Mrs. Peckham is remembered in 1909, by a few of the older people in No. Stoning- ton, as "Granny" Peckham; the last years of her life she lived with her daughter Nancy (Peckham) Wheeler and her grandsons John Owen and Thomas W. Wheeler. Here in this quiet, pleasant home she was lovingly cared for, and in her old age she passed much of her time knitting. The compiler remembers, in August, 1858, placing in her arms his oldest daugh- ter, who is now the wife of Ex-Governor George H. Utter, of Westerly, R. I. He remembers also how she laughed, and how delighted she was to have a baby in her arms; she was then ninety-three years old. She passed away as a candle burns down to the socket, flickers, and goes out. Thomas H. Peckham had brothers: Benjamin, b., So. Kingstown, R.

Interments in the family cemetery, a few rods south of the homestead, where are buried also Hiram and Fanny, the two children who died young, and Diantha the youngest child. Mr. Maine's farm, situated about two miles south of Pendleton Hill, was not large, as he devoted much of his time to his trade as a stone and plaster mason. He helped build the old Stonington lighthouse, and there are yet many specimens of his skill which testify that he was "a workman that 79 THE EZEKIEL MAIN FAMILY needeth not to be ashamed." He and his two oldest sons were in the War of 1812, and participated in the defense of Stonington. Freelove Edwards was the daughter of Christopher and Amy (Hall) Edwards, who lived near BiUings Pond. He was son of Thomas and Jerusha (Brown) Edwards, a dau. of Capt. Thomas Brown. Amy Hall was dau. of Thomas and Hannah (Fellows) Hall, the latter a dau. of Dea. Ephraim Fellows, of Rhode Island. Mrs. Maine was rarely endowed vnth superior natural literary abiUty, which was e\'idenced in her children and grandchildren. She was noted for the composition of poetry on striking events. "Aunt Freelove," as she was commonly called, was also well known for her skill in the care of the sick and injured, using chiefly medicaments of her own preparation. The Maine homestead, which had become old and neglected, has been purchased and put in excellent condition by a great-grandson, Dr. C. Wesley Hale (1067), of Springfield, Mass., who uses it as a summer resi- dence. The family Bible, which was also the Bible of Mrs. Maine's mother, Amy (Hall) Edwards, and printed in Edinburgh in 1749, is in the hands of Dr. Hale, who has rendered valuable service in collecting these family records. The following poem was prepared by Dr. Frank D. Maine, and read by him upon the occasion of the reopening of the Jabish Maine homestead, in No. Stonington, Conn., in October, 1908. On this occasion there were present grandchildren of Jabish and (Freelove) Maine, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and one great-great-great-grandchild. There were four generations in one line. HALLOWED REMIXISCEXCES OF DEAREST KITH AXD KI.V. By Frank D. Maike, MD., SPEiNonzLD, Mass. A reminiscence of the past, of pleasxire and of pain, Is to us mortals quite as real as sunshine and the rain; It is the warp and woof of life, donned by us every day; The very act or thought expressed; yea, every word we say. Let us, in reminiscent mood, revert to scenes of yore: To the aged sire, his consort, who many children bore; And to the mansion where they lived, and where their race was run; Made hallowed by their presence here, in old North Stonington, Who were this aged man and wife, I greeted when a boy. And such a two-weeks visit made, of unalloyed joy ? Within these very portals here I find myself again. With memories of grandparents, Jabish and Freelove Maine. This Jabish Breed, on July fourth, in seventeen seventy-four. First saw the light and two years lived, plus eighty years and more; 80 THE EZEKIEL MAIN FAMILY In eighteeQ hundred fifty-six, that year, he passed away, Amid the autumn's falling leaf, October, thirtieth day. Freelove in seventeen seventy-six, September sixth, was born; A blushing maiden at eighteen, on March fifteenth, at morn, Was married, seventeen ninety-five, and was a handsome bride; In eighteen hundred fifty-six, on April tenth, she died. Grandfather he was broad and stout, six feet in height and more, While "granny" was a slight petite, with pluck and nerve galore, Jabish was slow, conservative, mild-mannered, and sincere. But Freelove was a "four-in-hand," and was at times severe. Her life, though ever strenuous, yet was she just and true; Within the home and for her friends did all that could she do; With roots and "yarbs" she ministered, assuaged their griefs and pain- A good Samaritan, indeed, this Freelove Edwards Maine, Disparity as aforesaid, of size and weight and vim, We rarely note in mating choice, in her, in it, or him; But when we do, as in these two, you oftentimes will find A progeny of good physique and of judicial mind. Now Jabish, junior, was the first, born seventeen ninety-six, April twentieth was the day, and never was betwixt The right and wrong of anything — from guile was ever free; On April eighth he breathed his last, in eighteen forty-three. Collins, he was the second born, in seventeen ninety-seven; The month December, sixteenth day, so is the record given; Was able and of sterling worth, sanguine, alert, alive; He died the sixteenth day of June, in eighteen seventy-five. Freelove, the tkird^ on tenth of June, in eighteen hundred born; The only maiden of the girls, and only one forlorn; However, she was good as gold, as all who knew her say; In eighteen hundred seventy died, eleventh day of May. To bless this union, Zeruiah, the fourth to see the sun, December twentieth was born, in eighteen hundred one; She was the fairest of the girls, as was well understood; Religious, pensive, always sad, superlatively good. Her memory was very great, excelled by only few; — On July first she passed away, in eighteen seventy-two. Cynthia's advent, the fifth, occurred in eighteen hundred four; The month was June, the twenty-third, as has been told before; As wife and mother none excelled; years since her work was done; — June sixth she yielded up the ghost, in eighteen ninety-one. Jonas Chapman, March the seventh, in eighteen hundred six, Midway between the first and last, do we his advent fix; Though was the sixth in date of birth, he was the first in wit; As doctor, lawyer, poet, too, was never a misfit. Quite late in life at Colchester he lived, and passed away In eighteen hundred seventy-seven, July, seventeenth the day; For years he was an invalid, had heart-disease and gout; — And died, as oft expressed the wish, "as goes the candle out." THE EZEKIEL MAIN FAMILY Clarinda Wells, March thirtieth, born eighteen hundred eight; Unlike the rest, when was full-grown, in breadth, in flesh, and weight; And none so sanguine of the girls, so full of hope and cheer; — A benediction to her friends, throughout the livelong year. With hallowed memories of her life, the seventh in point of birth; — June tenth, in eighteen eighty-eight, she bade farewell to earth. Christopher Ira, November fifth, in eighteen hundred ten, The eighth, was born into the world, and of distinguished men He well compared in mental strength, — of constitution strong; Both brain and brawn which he possessed to him of right belonged. He loved and practised medicine, in which his race was run; — Fifteenth November passed away, in eighteen eighty -one. In the year eighteen hundred twelve, June, twenty-second day, Sebeus Colver nitUh in line was born, the records say; A lawyer and distinguished judge, his parents' joy and pride; — In eighteen hundred eighty-seven, twenty-fifth November, died. The tenth was Hiram Leonard born, eighteen fourteen the year; 'T was on September twenty-sixth he did at first appear; Three years ten months, of record clear, he lived, and passed away In eighteen eighteen, month July, and twenty-seventh the day. Faimy Mary, eleventh, was born, eighteen seventeen, 't is said; When only nineteen days had passed was this sweet angel dead; February twenty-third were both the month and day When first this seraph saw the light; March thirteenth passed away. In eighteen eighteen, May the sixth, the next and twelfth in line, Was Sidney Orrison, the wit, and all was superfine Of whatsoever was produced, of poetry or prose; Besides, taught school successfully, as everybody knows. August it was, the twentieth, in eighteen ninety-four. When he was summoned straightway hence — as we say, "gone before. Diantha Harriet, the last, though not the least to be; The thirteenth, born on June the eighth, in eighteen twenty-three. She was in truth superior to many of her kind. And withal was she well possessed of an enlightened mind; As teacher of the village school, in mem'ry will survive; — She died in July, on the fifth, in eighteen sixty-five. Except the infants that died young, and Jabish, eldest son, I knew these uncles and these aunts; yes, knew them every one; Their faces, forms, and habits, too, I personally knew, And their idiosyncrasies — so consequently drew Just inferences of them all, and much could truly say Of mental and of moral worth, as shown from day to day. They wrestled with the world, the flesh, and with Satanic strength; Just as all other mortals do — but overcame at length. In many ways they differed much, but of a truth can tell They had in common this one trait, — all told a story well; The reason why lies in the fact, good memories they had Of what they saw and heard and read, of either good or bad. 82 THE EZEKIEL MAIN FAMILY Irony, sarcasm, to this add, and repartee besides, Together with shrewd tactfulness, which with the race abides, Than the major part of mortals can show by taking pains, And in this summary you have the facts about the Maines. And why not, since the following reveals in full the cause ? Ezekiel Maine of Stonington did help to make the laws. From Thomas Dewey, pioneer, did Jabish Maine descend, And from Henry Wolcott the first, both good and able men. From Major Brian Pendleton, and Captain James his son, For whose heroic services were all their laurels won; There's kinship in Eleazer Brown, it is of record clear; Grit, wit, and grace from all this stock doth in the Maines appear. Then Edwards is another name, Freelove the maiden bore, From Thomas, first, or settler came, who lived in days of yore; The blood of all these ancestors coursed freely through the veins Of these thirteen sons and daughters, which every gift explains. But time and space forbid detail, in reminiscent speech, Of Jabish B. and Freelove Maine, their children, all or each; Grandparents, will we simply say, before I close these lines, Lie buried but a stone's throw hence, beneath the lovely pines . Not only did they live, grow old, and from earth pass away — Their domicile of early years was subject to decay; What great dilapidation marked this frame of long ago. As witnessed by the lookers-on, in passing to and fro ! And as they have the Jordan crossed, now dressed in living green. So resurrected is the house as visibly is seen; It stands complete upon the site it occupied before. And near it is the same old well as in the days of yore. To whom are we indebted most, these pleasures to afford, For what is witnessed here and now, the former home restored ? Viewed whether in the aggregate, or surveyed in detail? To the great-grandson, be it said. Doctor Charles Wesley Hale / Let us who are of kith and kin of those who now are dead Their good deeds ever imitate, and speak the truths they said; By dint of effort higher climb than possibly they could, And so be recognized by all as strong and kind and good! The children that follow lived near the father of the compiler of these records, and attended the same district school, the "Ash House." Children, b. No. Stonington: 554. Jabish (or Jabez), b.

He then turned his attention to farming on two hundred acres of productive land, combining with it other industries, and for fifteen years was an extensive dealer in commercial fertilizer. His farm being located in a good fruit-belt, he turned his attention to evaporating apples, with a yearly product of five to twelve thousand pounds, which has been a financial success. He continued in that branch of business over thirty years. He also raises a variety of small fruits. In one year he produced twenty-two thousand quarts of rasp- berries. Although his life has been full of business activities, he has been assessor for twenty-two years and has borne a conspicuous part in all work of morality, education, and religion.

By his industry and frugality he acquired considerable property. He also bought, near by, another smaller farm, where he lived until his death. In all his thrift and hurry he was an active church-member, attending to his religious duties. His wife also was active in church work from early youth until her death. Their acts of beneficence stand in grateful remembrance by the members of the Third Baptist Church, of which both were members.

Some of the descendants that follow are connected by marriage, and are found in different parts of this book. Timothy Main m. Hannah . Son: 2369. Jesse, m. Annie Benjamin. He lived near Dea.

Her ancestry is traced to the first white child born on the island of Rhode Island. She was educated in the public schools of Ashaway and the Young Ladies' Seminary at De Ruyter, N. Y. She was greatly beloved as wife, mother, and Christian woman. Her children and grand- children were the crowning glory and dearest solace of her life, and her last words, as she was thinking of them, were, "I must leave them, but I have led them aright" — parting words never to be forgotten. Cyrus H. Brown, compiler of these records, also of the Brown Genealogy, — with the assist- ance of Charles N. Brown of ^Madison, A\'is., — was educated in the public schools of his native town and in private schools, also taking a preparatory course for teaching at the Connecticut Literary Institution at SufiSeld, Conn., from May, 1849, to July, 185 1. He taught for six years in the public schools of Connecticut and Rhode Island. For one year travelled in Louisiana as a book-agent, in 1853, 1854, giving an opportunity to see the country and people and their habits and customs. Soon after marriage, in 1856, moved with his wife to Brighton, Mass., and followed the provision business, in Boston and Brookline, Mass., till 1889. Then until 1897 the family in summer removed to their farm in Dover, Mass., but retained their home in AUston, Mass. Then in !March the same year, on account of the illness of Mrs. Brown, came on a visit to our daughter INIrs. Geo. H. Utter, of Westerly, R. I., where Mrs. Brown passed away six months later. Here I make my home, and soon after Mrs. Brown's death I began writing the Brown Genealogy. Both were members of the Brighton Ave. Baptist Church, Boston; also their six children ; was superintendent of the Sunday school for twenty-two years. United with the Calvary Baptist Church, W^esterly; was chosen deacon, and teacher in the Bible school, and in 1910 still acting in that capacity. 276 Cyrus H.

Mr. Abbott received his education in the schools of Andover; after graduation entered the Massa- chusetts Agricultural College and, after taking a general course, he then took a special course in the Dairy Depart- ment. He is a dairyman and farmer in Andover. Miss Brown received her education in the Boston schools until 1897, when, on account of the sickness and death of her mother, she came to Westerly to live with her sister Mrs. George H. Utter, and there entered the Westerly High School and remained two years, and one year at the Busi- ness College. She attended the Northfield Seminary for three years; then entered the Rhode Island Normal School and graduated in 1907. She began teaching in Andover, and continued until her marriage. Louisa A.

Dr. Lewis was not only a physician of renown, but "the beloved physician," and as a man and neighbor he was above reproach, kind and benevolent; his home was radiant with good cheer and sunshine. He was of commanding presence, his fine fa,ce expressing his strength of character and keen intellect. His wife was educated in the public schools, and in Miss Whiting's School for Young Ladies, in Charlestown, Mass., and the Connecticut Literary Insti- 277 APPENDIX tution at Suffield, Conn. She was a true, loving companion, that "looked well to the ways of her household." In person she was erect, with a graceful form, her hair untouched by age; unselfish in character, noble, and consist- ent. Above all, both were earnest Christians, members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Westerly. They passed away ten months apart, the com- munity sustaining an irreparable loss. Children, b.

For more than twenty-five years he edited and published that paper and had the oversight of the monthly and quarterly periodicals and books and reports of various kinds published for circulation in and by that denomination. He became interested in the Narragansett Weekly in 1859, a paper published in West- erly, but did not remove to Westerly with his family until Jan., 1862. He was proprietor and editor of the paper until his death, in 1892. George H. Utter was educated in the schools of Westerly and at Alfred Academy, Alfred, N. Y., imtil 1873, when he entered Amherst College and graduated therefrom in the class of 1877; then immediately came to the assistance of his father on the weekly paper, which had a wide circulation. In 1893 the Westerly Daily Sun was established, and the Weekly was continued as its weekly edition until 1897, when it -was discontinued. The Daily Sun is a bright, progressive paper, having the largest circulation in Washington County. His son George Benjamin, after his graduation from Amherst College, in 1905, came upon the editorial staff, and is a valuable assistant in the conduct of the paper. Geo. H. Utter was aide-de-camp on the staff of Governor Bourne, May, 1883-May, 1885; member of the Rhode Island 283 APPENDIX House of Representatives, May, 1885-May, 1889, and the last year was chosen speaker.

In Dec, 1907, he received an invitation to meet, somewhere in India, his class- and room-mate in college, of Davenport, la., who the year of his graduation had started on a trip around the world. In less than a week after receiving the invitation to meet his college classmate he left New York, Dec. 17, with the intention of reaching that far-away land in as short a period as possible. He went to England, crossed the English Channel to Calais, France, where he took the mail train of the English-Indian mail service, across France, Northern Italy to the east coast of that country, continuing south along the Adriatic shore to Brindisi, after a ride of forty-eight hours. Here a transfer was made to steamer across the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal to the Red Sea,the Indian Ocean to Bombay,India, where he met his college friend. The voyage from Westerly, R. I., to Bombay took twenty-four days. He went from Bombay by rail across to Madras, thence south, visiting the great temples of Southern India; thence to the Island of Ceylon. Then the voyage was continued west to the Red Sea and Canal to Egypt. A month was spent in Egjrpt, visit- ing Port Said, Cairo, Luxor, Assuan, Alexandria, and other places of interest, ascending the Nile River for one thousand miles. From Egypt, Italy was the next, visiting Naples, Rome, and other cities; thence to Paris, where Mr. Utter and his friend met the parents of the latter. Then a tour of Europe was made by automobile.

From here the mountains were skirted into Austria. After a ten- day stay at Vienna the course was into Germany, through the cities to Berlin. After making a complete circle the homeward voyage was begun, after seven months of travel. This trip of a lifetime broadened his grasp of the world of the countries he visited, and added to his store of knowledge that which cannot be gained by books. His letters of travel published in the Westerly Sun were read by thousands with increasing interest. His intercourse with others is kind and gracious; his frank, good-natured face bespeaks intelligence and invites coniidence. He is a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church and assistant superintendent of the Sab- bath School.

[The history of these four Baptist churches was written for the Brown Genealogy, but it will be of equal interest to the families whose early homes were near one of these old churches. Although many of the children and grandchildren have removed to Western States, they will be interested in these churches where their fathers and mothers worshipped and were active members; and many still are strong and active supporters of these churches at the present day.] FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF NO. STONINGTON, CONN. In writing the records of some of the Brown families, it is found that many of their ancestors are worthy of honorable mention in connection with the First and Second Baptist Churches in what is now No. Stoning- ton. The First Baptist Church was organized in 1743; and Elder Wait Palmer was chosen its pastor and ordained the same year. At the time this church was organized there was but one other Baptist church in the State of Connecticut. This one was located at Groton, three miles west of Old Mystic; organized in 1705, with Valentine Wightman as its first pastor. It must be borne in mind that the date which marks the rise of this church carries us far back into the early settlement of the coun- try — and seventy years before the Revolution. Wait Palmer was baptized May 27, 1711; he married Mary Brown (42), daughter of Eleazer Brown (11) and Ann Pendleton. They settled about three miles west of her father's house, on that fertile ridge of land called Taugwank ; afterwards they removed to Pau-hun-gue-nuck Hill, now called Pendleton Hill. At this time the settlements were few, and the church small; but their spirit and courage we admire, the elevated tone of their piety, their patient endurance of suffering, and their manly resistance of religious despotism. They were extraordinary men, made so by the grace of God. Elder Palmer was a man of plain, common education, yet of strong, vig- orous intellect, of sound, practical sense. Books he had none. The Bible alone was the man of his council, his almost exclusive study; hence he be- came mighty in the Scriptures. He owned a farm of ninety acres a little west of the Pendleton Hill meeting-house. He received comparatively no support from the Church, and he often preached in destitute settlements. He held meetings in Preston, where afterwards there became a flourishing Baptist church, and in Tolland also, where he baptized the celebrated Shubael Steams and shortly after assisted with Joshua Morse in his ordi- nation, who became the most remarkable preacher of his time. He formed 301 APPENDIX a church in North Carolina, and in a short time had 606 members. He really evangelized the States of South Carolina and Georgia. Elder Palmer baptized Simeon Brown (72), the first pastor of the Second Church in this town. We cannot state at the close of his ministry the numerical strength of the church, but it was fast gaining strength and power. During the pastorate of Elder Palmer we have no data as to when the church was built, but find that the land for it was given by Daniel Brown (24), cousin to Elder Palmer's wife, and Thomas Holmes. The house was located two miles south of Pendleton Hill, near Zebulon York's, on the east side of the road. The compiler remembers it as a small and very old brown house, after it had been deserted from twelve to fifteen years. Mr. Palmer was the first pastor of this church, and it was at a period which tried men's souls, as he labored extensively for the diffusion of truth with our earliest ministers in the great work of gathering and planting churches. We are constrained to rever- ence his name and memory, and regard him as worthy to be enrolled among the noble men of his day. Elder Palmer was an active patriot in the Revolution, soon after which he died, in 1790, nearly ninety years old. Interment, half a mile south of the present Pendleton Hill meeting-house, in an unmarked grave. The following record was found among the old records of the First Bap- tist Church (Pendleton Hill), asking the Second Church to give up their beloved brother, Eleazer Brown, to become their minister. Quoted as written: "The Church of Christ under the Pastorate Charge of Elder Simeon Brown. To the Church of Christ, formerly of Elder Palmer's Charge, sends greeting, wishing, grace, Mercy and Peace, to be multiplied imto you, through our Lord Jesus Christ. To whom be glory and praise Amen. "Beloved, whereas we on the 9th of this Instant December 1769 Received a request from you by your Messengers: that we would manifest our free- dom in giving up to your Watchcare our Beloved Brother Eleazer Brown; that you may be enabled to set him apart to be your Minister and Sealer under Christ, the great Head of the Church. In answer to which we hereby send you our Letter of Reccomendation, reccomending our said Brother as one visibly Clean, and in regular standing in our Church as having a Spe- cial Gift from God to preach the everlasting Gospel. "Wishing and praying the Blessing of Heaven to attend him, and you A™^°- "Signed in behalf of the Church — Stonington, Dec^ 9"" Sands Niles 1769. Clerk" 302 APPENDIX The second pastor of this church was Eleazer Brown (139), who came to this church as a licentiate from the Second Baptist Church in this town, which was organized in 1765. In this capacity he served the church for the term of four years and was ordained as pastor Jime 24, 1770. The minis- ters who assisted were Joshua Morse, Timothy Wightman, of the First Church of Groton, Simeon Brown (72), of the Second Church in this town. Mr. Brown was a man whom God had eminently fitted for the station he was to occupy. He waited with becoming modesty for four years the acceptance of the church, yet aU the time preached to the church, which watched his steady demeanor, his ripening gifts and growing worth. From the minutes of the Stonington Union Association the church numbered ninety-seven. Towards the close of his ministry there came, in 1791, a great outpouring of the Spirit of God; the seed faithfully sown began to bear much fruit, and at this revival the church received an accession of fifty-two, making the total membership one hundred and fifty-two. Elder Brown had, it is said, but little education, but was a man of strong native powers, of vivid thought and conception, and of a flowing, rapid delivery. He was rightly esteemed as one of the most eminent preachers of his day. Peleg Randall was baptized Nov. 19, 1784, and was ordained an evan- gelist Oct. 25, 1792; on this occasion the aged pastor of this church with much propriety gave the charge. The old pastor, worn with long labor, was about to be taken up to his reward; but ere he departed he poured the sacred oil upon the head of his successor. This was his only pastorate, and the longest of this church, extending over a period of twenty-five years. On the nth of July, 1795, he fell asleep in Jesus, in the twenty-seventh year of his ministry. Interment in Brown Cemetery, north of the Second Church. The third pastor of this church was Peleg Randall, who succeeded Elder Brown in 1792. Dr. A. G. Palmer says of him: "His discourses were cool, dehberate, instructive, but were usually wanting in the glowing warmth and animation for which his revered predecessor was so highly distinguished. He was at times impassioned, ardent, and impressive in his delivery, often becoming, towards the close of his discourse, deeply moved himself, hence deeply moving others." Although no general revival was enjoyed Under his ministry, yet it was by no means unfruitful in the conversion of souls. At this time this church was not alone, for the Second Church was organized five miles to the south, with Elder Simeon Brown as pastor, in 1765, which must have drawn a number by letter from this church to the Second Church. Mr. Randall 3°3 APPENDIX closed his labors with this church Oct. 8, 1813, and the church was left without a pastor. Rev. Jonathan Miner was ordained at the First Church in Groton, Feb. 14, 1814, to which this church sent delegates; and because of the impression the candidate made upon these delegates the church resolved at once to call him to preach to them for one year. The call was accepted, and Mr. Miner took up his residence with them in the spring of 1814. During the first three months of his ministry fifty-six members were added to the church by baptism. The work of grace continued from year to year, as revival followed revival, up to the close of his ministry. But there were years of comparative unfruitfulness. At the close of 1814 the church numbered one hundred and eighty-five. The next general re- vival under the leadership of Elder Miner commenced in the autumn of 1822 and extended tiU April, 1823. Many in the meridian of life were re- ceived and baptized into the fellowship of the church. Dr. A. G. Palmer said, on the occasion of the one-hundredth anniversary of this church: "These were days of childhood with many of us; but they left an impression upon our hearts which neither time nor eternity will ever efiface. It was the fijst bright spot in our existence, the enkindUng of the spiritual life within us, the lighting up in our young minds, the hope of immortality." By this revival the church received an accession of fifty-one members, ma- king the whole number two hundred and thirty-one. All of these years of the existence of. this pioneer church, tiU 1830, they worshipped in the old meeting-house, and here had been gathered a large and flourishing body of spiritual members. But the time had come for the church to enlarge its house of worship. Accordingly, in 1830, they rebuilt on that beautiful plateau, Pendleton HiU, commanding a most magnifi- cent view of the surrounding country and of the ocean, fifteen miles away. The dedicatory sermon was preached by Elder John Gano Wightman, of the First Groton Church, now [1910] Old ^Mystic. Elder Wightman was grandson of \'alentine Wightman; his father was Timothy Wightman, the three elders serving successively one hundred and twenty-five years. Now, this First Groton Church is two hundred and five years old. But to return: ninety-one years had now passed in the history of this church, and it had but four pastors, and under their efficient labors it had advanced from a state of extreme feebleness to comparative strength and prosperit)-. During this time the increasing population of the town gave to the church a larger field to draw from; hence during the closing years of Elder Miner's ministry of faithful service, we note large ingatherings to the church. 3°+ ';*«W= ' f,>i^ First Baptist Church North Stonington, Conn. (Pendleton Hill) Organized 1743 Second Baptist Church North Stonington, Conn. Organized 1765 APPENDIX Up to this time the church had paid their ministers no salary. Elder Miner said to the church, after they had built their new and commodious house of worship, "You ought now to pay your minister a little salary." His term of service was twenty years, terminating in March, 1834. From this time till 1837 the church was without a pastor. In 1835 another wave of revival interest came, when forty-five were received by baptism. In the autumn of 1837 another awakening began, and as the result of a faith- ful working church forty precious souls were gathered into the fold of Christ. During this time the oversight of the church devolved upon the deacons, who filled their offices weU; hence a most excellent report of their steward- ship by constant ingatherings. As many of the Brown ancestors participated in duties and labors of this church, from the very first and all through the century, and cooperated with it, the compiler was desirous of taking a glance at its history for the first one hundred years. The only other long pastorate of this church was Rev. D. S;. Chapman's, fourteen years; he died pastor of the church. Peo- ple came to the old church long distances in those early times, and it was no uncommon thing to see, hitched around and near this meeting-house, thirty, forty, or even fifty horses with saddle and pillion on their backs. That was when they were glad when they said, "Let us go into the house of the Lord." Services have been regularly maintained all these one hundred and sixty-two years. The deacons of this church have an honorable mention, being men of God, laboring zealously for the saving of the lost, using the office of deacon well, and getting to themselves a good report. Appendix VI. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF NO. STONINGTON, CONN. The Second Baptist Church of No. Stonington, Conn., was organized in March, 1765, with Elder Simeon Brown (72) as pastor. Elder Brown was bom in Stonington Jan. 31, 1723, a man of strong native talents; he was converted under the preaching of Whitefield, in 1745. He united with Rev. Stephen Babcock in forming the Baptist Church in Westerly, R. I., in 1750; and was baptized by Rev. Wait Palmer in 1764, being ordained 305 APPENDIX the same year. His pastorate and watchful care over this church extended from the organization, in 1765, till his death, in 1815 — fifty years and eight months: a noble record to be engraved on his monument in Brovm Cemetery in his native town. His descendants may well be proud of the character and the consecrated life of so noble a man, laying down the burdens of life in his ninety-fourth year. The self-sacrificing labors and the towering grandeur of his charac- ter and the wide-spread- and abounding influence which emanated from his life perpetuate his memory through many generations, leaving a shining record. The handful of com on the tops of the mountains grew till now the mem- bership was three hundred and thirty-five. He served this church all these years without salary, and built the meeting-house from lumber cut from his "cedar swamp," with the assistance of his brethren. It was without paint, both interior and exterior; with galleries on three sides, a high pulpit on the north side, with an ascent of ten stairs, enclosed with panel work. When the minister was seated he could not be seen by the audience. He stood on a small platform, and was a commanding fig- ure. The writer was present when the last service was held in this old meeting-house, in the spring of 1845 \ it was like parting with one's dearest friend, and many tears were shed. It was suggested that they better let it stand, but it was taken down and the present house erected the same year. The ceiling of the porch of the new house was the panelling taken from the pews of the old house. The following items of interest by way of comparison are gleaned from the Stonington Baptist Association, as it was first called in the first printed minutes, which embraced churches in Rhode Island as far east as Exeter and Wickford and west to Waterford and Montville, Conn. Stonington Baptist Association held at Elder Timothy Wightman's Meeting house in 1792 Groton. First Church, Elder Eleazer Brown, No. 152. Second Church, Elder Simeon Brown, " 201. Exeter Church, R.

The successor to Elder Brown was Elder Asher Miner, who had been for ten years associate pastor with the aged minister, and at his death be- came sole pastor. The church has been, and is still, called the Miner Church, although many living at this distant day believe it should have been called the Elder Simeon Brown Church. Rev. Asher Miner was born in No. Stonington, Conn., Jan. 30, 1772. He was the son of Thomas and Mary (Page) Miner; married Lucy Spald- ing, Nov. 28, 1790; and was ordained in 1805. The church is beautifully located, second only to the church on Pendleton Hill for natural scenery and picturesqueness. Elder Miner was a contemporary with Elder Jona- than Miner of the First Church and Elder John Gano Wightman of the First Groton Church. Neither Elder Brown nor Elder Miner had the advantages of a collegiate or theological education, but both were men of natural endowments, and good understanding of the Word of God. Their highest aim and the crown- ing efforts of their lives were to lead men and women, old and young, to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and in this crowning part of their work they were eminently successful; which is the pre-eminent work of the gospel ministry. Elder Miner had been trained in church work by his illustrious predecessor, and had spent his whole life with this church. Elder Brown had laid the sure foundation and was worthy to be followed. There is yet one living, in 19 10, who remembers this saint of God, the tone of his voice, and the people who came in large numbers to attend divine worship. 307 APPENDIX During his pastorate there were received nearly five hundred into the fellowship of this church. Although there were churches at this time in Westerly, Stonington, Mystic, much nearer, the people flocked to this old church in great numbers; so that during this pastorate the church numbered, at one time, four hundred and eighty. Elder Miner died Sept. i, 1836, and the people still worship in the old house. A few now, in 1910, remember Elder Asher Miner, whose whole term of service was thirty-one years. On his tombstone in Union Cemetery is inscribed: The gospel was his joy and sODg, Even to bis latest breath; The truth he had proclaimed so long Was his support in death. The names of some of the ministers who succeeded Elder Miner were Elder Erastus Denison, Elder John Green, who often supplied, Thomas Barber, Elder C. C. Lewis, who was a man of fervor and power, and died in the pastoral office of this church Mar. 10, 1864, in his fifty-seventh year. This new house has not witnessed such powerful revivals as did the former, many of the young people having left the country church and being found in the cities and villages all over the land. The men of God who served as deacons should be mentioned, — at least some of them, — but nearly all have fallen asleep. Of the following, the compiler remembers all except the first: Zebulon Brown (74), brother of Elder Simeon Brown; John Stanton (b. 1753), died in 1851, at the age of ninety-eight; Josiah Brown (279), son of Elder Simeon Brown; Josiah Brown, Jr. (304); Allen Wheeler (b. 1793); Cyrus W. Brown (253); Reu- ben W. York. The acting deacons in 1905 are: Horace F. York, Richard Wheeler, and C. L. Gray. Appendix VII. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH, NO. STONINGTON, CONN. The Third Baptist Church was organized Dec. 25, 1828. The town of Stonington had been divided, and No. Stonington had been set off from it in 1807. A committee of interested persons was appointed, Dec. 10, 1828, to adopt articles of faith for a contemplated church. The committee con- 308 X u '» o X c to U cc "c c cn c3 o 'P o -C Rf sidence of (if orsit- A. Pendleton Where Cyrus H. Brown ((iS) was born, Nov. -24-, 1S29 Xorth Stonin^on, Conn. This house was built, over two hundred years ago, by Sylvanus Maxson, who owned large tracts of land. Nathan Maxson, his son, came into possession of it, and he and his wife Ruth died here: and their daughter Sarah Catherine was born and married in this house to Cyrus H. Brown (63). It has been cel- ebrated as the rendezvous of the Sabbatarian fraternity for scores of years. Near this hou.se is the second .Seventh Day Baptist meeting-house in America. APPENDIX sisted of Samuel Chapman, Rev. Levi Walker, John F. Wheeler, and re- ported the articles of faith. They were adopted and remain unchanged. According to custom, a council was called for recognition of the body, and it met Dec. 25, 1828, approving the organization. The sermon was preached by Rev. Wm. Bentley. Others who took part in the recognition services were: Revs. John Gano Wightman, Wm. Palmer, Luther Godard, Benja- min M. Hill, Jabez S. Swan, Jonathan Miner, and Asher Miner. The eight persons who received letters from their churches were: Rev. Levi Walker, M.D., Samuel Chapman, David Holmes, Sally Wheeler, Phebe Walker, Lucy Chapman, Lucy Grant, and Emily Fanning. Three days after the recognition the church received seven members by baptism, the ordinance being performed by Elder Jabez S. Swan; others united by letter and baptism, so that in June, 1829, when the church joined the Stonington Union Association, this new church reported thirty mem- bers and had several ministers as supplies, meeting at the schoolhouse. In 1833 the membership was fifty. Urged by the growth of numbers and the demands of the community, the church and society in 1833 erected the present house of worship, then, as still, a, beautiful and substantial sanctuary. In a few months the amount raised was $2,000. The roll of subscribers began with: Saxton Miner, $100; Thomas P. Wattles, $100; Deacon Ezra Miner, $100; Daniel Bentley, $100; Benjamin Hewitt, $125; Rufus Williams, $100; David Coats, $100. The lot, containing three-fourths of an acre of land, cost $125. The members of the society hold the property in trust for the use and benefit of the Baptist denomination forever. The first acting pastor of this new church was Rev. Levi Walker, M.D. He was born in Massachusetts, moved to Maine, was converted in 1804, and for a time was a Methodist circuit preacher. He afterwards became a Baptist and united with the First Baptist Church in Fall River, Mass. Mr. Walker studied medicine and entered upon his practice, meanwhile continuing to preach, and became pastor of the Baptist Church in War- wick, R. I., in 1816. He then became pastor of the Preston City Church, Conn., in 18 19, and settled on a farm in No. Stonington in 1823. He preached with success in various districts, organizing the first Sunday school in the town and accomplishing much in his two professions. He died Dec. 12, 1869, aged eighty-five years and ten months. His three sons also went into the ministry. In 1834 Rev. Feronda Bestor became its pastor, and at that time the new church was dedicated. Mr. Bestor remained three years, and received 309 APPENDIX thirty-eight by baptism, forty-five by letter. The church numbered at this time one hundred and twenty-eight. The church in 1837 entertained the Association for the first time, and Rev. Alfred Gates was the pastor and re- mained about one year. A special revival was enjoyed, and twenty-seven were admitted by baptism; and in 1837 the church numbered one hundred and fifty-two, with a Sabbath school of sixteen teachers and ninety pupils. Rev. Alfred Gates was bom in Granville, N. Y., in 1803. He studied at Hamilton, N. Y., and was ordained at WiUimantic, Conn., in 183 1. He was pastor at Preston, Conn., and other churches. He died at Montville, Conn., Jan. 30, 1875. The church was supplied by several ministers until 1842, when Rev. B. C. Grafton was called, under whose labors fifty-three were added by baptism. He remained about one year. Rev. Edward T. Hiscox, from Hamilton University, N. Y., supplied the church about six months, and was ordained Jan. 18, 1844, when he was called and removed to Westerly, R. I., Apr. 18, 1844. Rev. James R. Stone was his successor. The church was enrolled with one hundred and eighty-seven members. Levi Walker, Jr., was licensed to preach Dec. 18, 1829. Bom in New Bedford, Mass., in 181 1, he was converted in this town. After pastorates in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, he returned to No. Stonington, where he died in February, 1839, loved by all who knew him. A number of young men converted in this church became successful min- isters, 1842-1848, among whom were Edwin D. Bentley, Ralph H. Maine, and William H. Randall. The latter, during the Civil War, recruited a company and entered the field as captain. For heroic conduct at Chancel- lorsville he was promoted to major; he also served his command as cap- tain. In 1865 he resumed the pastorate; but, failing in health, he sought restoration in Florida, but died Mar. 7, 1874, aged fifty-six years. During the pastorate of James R. Stone, on Oct. 18, 1846, another re- vival began, and continued through the following winter. On Oct. 18, 1846, Cyrus H. Brown, Louisa A. Brown, Gideon P. Brown, and Maryette Burdick were baptized and received into the church. On Mar. 28, 1847, twenty-eight had been admitted into the church. The compiler retained his membership with this church ten years, removing to Boston in 1856, where he imited with the Brighton Avenue Baptist Church, retaining membership there until 1898, when, removing from there to Westerly, R. I., he joined the Calvary Baptist Church. Rev. James R. Stone, afterwards Dr. Stone, after three years of service, severed his connection with this church, much to its regret. The next to 310 APPENDIX come on the field was Daniel Henry Miller, a young man who came over from the Methodist to the Baptist faith. He received ordination Dec. 15, 1847. David Coates said of him, "He will be quite a preacher when he be- comes a man; he is only a boy now." His ministry here, as in all his fields of labor, was marked with energy, ability, and success. The fortieth anniver- sary of his ministry was celebrated Dec. 15, 1887. Rev. George H. Miner said of his early pastorate with this people: "I seem to see a young man, tall and somewhat slender in form, with a commanding presence; bold and fear- less, his voice impressive and solemn, full of reverential awe. Now in whis- pered tones he utters the most tender appeals and the sweetest comforts, and as the winds rise and sway the forest trees and shake the very earth, and the belching thunders pour forth their loud rumbhngs, and the sharp lightnings flash and the awful tempest is upon us, so his words alternate between the gentle and the awful, the tender and the dreadful." In April, 1849, ^r. Miller (since Dr. Miller) resigned his pastorate, much to the regret of the church, having pastorates in Yonkers, N. Y., Elizabeth, N. J., and Norwich, Conn. Dr. Miller was also chaplain in the Civil War. His successor was Rev. Orin T. Walker, of Martha's Vine- yard, Mass. It was a home-coming to Mr. Walker. His ministry commenced early in 1850, and continued until April, 1853. Many will recall his labors in the schoolhouses of Ashwillet. Mr. Walker's resignation was much regretted. He was called to New London, Conn., New Jersey, Boston, and Chicago. Rev. Thomas W. Clarke succeeded Mr. Walker. At this time the mem- bership was the largest at any time in its history, being two hundred and twenty-three. In 1853 the church lamented the death of David Coats, aged eighty-seven years. Active in the church were Rev. Levi Walker, Benj. B. Hewitt, Ansel Coats, and John C. Coats, the constant and efficient church clerk for forty- eight years, Nathan Edgcomb and Thomas Edgcomb, Daniel Bentley, the Breeds, the Grants, the Stewarts, the Wheelers, the Hillards, and Ephraim W. Maine, Joseph Frink, Capt. Babcock, Deacon Cyrus W. Brown, Samuel Thompson, Stephen Main, and good women not a few, whose records, vnth those of these good men, are now in the Book of Life. The pastors from 1856 to 1910 were: Henry W. Webber, Joseph Burnett, 1857, Edgar A. Hewitt, i860, C. W. Ray, 1862, Samuel D. Ashley, 1868, J. W. Holman, 1870, Fenner B. Dickinson, 1874, William D. Morgan, 1877, James D. Noble, 1878, W. W. Staples, 1880, J. Edred Jones, 1881, 311 APPENDIX Appendix VIII. HISTORY OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF BROOK- FIELD, N. Y. One of the principal promoters of this church was Simeon Brown, Jr., son of Elder Simeon Brown, of Stonington, Conn. He received a license to preach in 1775, being the first who had been granted a license from that church. He emigrated from Stonington, Conn., May, 1792, with his wife and children in an ox-cart. This family and others coming from Stonington from time to time were a nucleus from which this church was formed, June 28, 1798. Twenty people met together to consider the organization of a Baptist church. After drawing up articles of faith, the First Church of Christ in Brookfield, N. Y., was organized, Oct. 12, 1799. There in the wild woods and amid howling beasts of prey was erected an altar for the worship of God. This young church began holding meetings with their spiritual leader and recognized head in the log house of the minister. Elder Simeon Brown, Jr., and there was much interest shown an;ong the scattered set- tlers. After a few years a meeting-house was built, making a more attract- ive and comfortable church home for the people. Elder Brown was the pastor until his death, Aug. 18, 1826. In 1837 a new meeting-house was built, to be used together with the Seventh Day Baptist people of Clark- ville, which is occupied still by both churches in 1905. This Brookfield Baptist Church has ordained nine pastors and licensed twelve to preach the gospel. It has always had a Deacon Brown since its organization, but one person of that name holding that position at the same time. During its existence it has always observed monthly communion service. In September, 1801, the church joined the Otsego Baptist Asso- ciation, always being regular in its representatives and delegates. Thus by strong faith in God from the beginning, for sixscore years this church has flourished, and is still holding forth the word of life. The following extracts are from reminiscences of Elder Brown read at the Centennial Celebration of this church, July 7, 1898: "In personal appearance Elder Brown was more than medium height and well proportioned, being of strong build. He had light brown hair worn moderately long in thin locks, eyes blue, shaded with heavy eyebrows 313 APPENDIX and a massive forehead. He was always clean shaven, and had a pleasing expression. He was fond of the chase, and in his later years would ride to a known fox trail and often do good shooting in the saddle. "When he became too feeble to leave his home he held evening services in his own house. His last sermon was preached at his house while sitting in his chair, being too feeble to stand." This church has had in one hundred and seven years nineteen pastors, from its organization in 1798 to 1905. The longest pastorates were Rev. Simeon Brown, Jr., from 1798 to 1826, and Rev. Holland Turner, from 183s to 1845. The ordinations in this church were: Rev. Simeon Brown, Jr., Oct. 14, 1800; Rev. Joshua Wells, Oct. 18, 1815; Thomas Dye; G. B. Perry, Mar. 5, 1823; Peter Latimer, May 31, 1827; Ferris Scott, July 20, 1858; O. N. Fletcher, Nov. i, 1866; A. V. B. Crumb, Aug. 23, 1876, missionary to Bur- mah; R. J. Thompson, Aug. 15, 1883. The Deacons, from organization to 1905, were: Daniel Maine, Nathan Brown, Bell Lewis, Wait Clarke, Samuel Browne, Thomas E. Craine, George Crumb, Morgan L. Brown, Don F. Maine, Avory Cole. The church clerks, from organization to 1905, were: Andrew Coats, Asa Frink, Jr., AUen Green, Henry Brown, Randall Y. Hibbard, Don F. Maine, EUen R. Baldwin, Catherine Crandall, Clifton Craine. 314 Errata. Page 37. Truman P. Maine (168) is now [1910] in the Medical De- partment of Harvard College. Page 62. Mary Annie Rider, read (435), not (441).
