Genealogical researches are comparatively recent in this country. It doubtless seems to many that questions of birth and lineage are of little consequence under republican institutions, where all men are free and equal, and where laws of primogeniture and hereditary distinctions have no place. The attempt to trace out the lines of family descent and history is too often frustrated by the indifference of those who might impart the desired information ; and the compiler is met at the threshold of his inquiries with the question Cui bono? — of what use will it be ? Many are unable to give their ancestry back of their parents, and one writes, " Socrates was once reproached for want of knowledge of his ancestry, and he replied ' So much the better, for my race begins with myself.' " This is not good doctrine ; for I think experience has proved that the influence of genealogy has been elevating and refining, imparting a desire to be useful in society, and to hold a respectable place in history. Socrates himself, probably, would have been glad to be remembered. It would be difficult for the compiler to enumerate the obstacles he has had to encounter in getting the annals of the Thurstons in this country into their present shape ; and he must crave the indulgence of his readers for many errors and omissions, by far the larger part of which are fairly chargeable to imperfect reports received. At the same time, it should be stated, there are those who have taken a hearty interest, and worked right royally, to have their families placed with proper fullness and accuracy upon these pages. Several of them lO TO THE READER. are persons who have come into the family by marriage, and by their faithful and painstaking endeavors, have proved their appreciation of the name and their desire to perpetuate its history. If the most distinguished genealogist this country has ever produced, the late James Savage of Boston, found it necessary to add to his four volumes one hundred and fifty pages of "additions and corrections," the author of these pages ought to be accorded the privilege of fifty. Having already detected many errors, he expects to' find more j and what he fails to find he hopes will be pointed out to him by corre- spondents, so that he may leave behind him a corrected copy for some future gleaner in the field. I have not limited these researches to the descendants of a single branch of the Thurston family, but have included all of the name in the United States. The leading feature of the work, however, com- prises those who sprung from the first three of the name who came to New England, Daniel, John, and Edward. I have no knowledge that these were kindred to each other, though there seems to be some probability that such was the fact. In pursuit of the required infor- mation for this volume, I have sent out over 5000 circulars and let- ters, and received about 1500 letters and postals in reply. Nearly a hundred city, town, and church records have been consulted ; old Bibles containing family records sought out, and their treasures of genealogy rescued from oblivion ; the memories of aged people have been brought into requisition, and valuable information has been put upon the printed page to be handed down to posterity, which, but for this effort, would have perished with the lives of those from whom it was obtained. Some of the communications received should rightly have a place in the book as addenda, as epistolary curiosities worthy of preservation. I have admitted a few which some, it is true, may think puerile • but which others will probably read with interest and pleasure. The extended search for our ancestors in England has utterly failed TO THE READER. II of satisfactory results. I have the record of nearly a hundred Thurstons of Challock, county of Kent, England, coming down to 1638, after which date the name became extinct in that locality. The scribe im- agines he has in this list the name of Daniel Thurston, who settled in Newbury, Mass., and married Anne Pell, a name which he says is very common in Kent; but it is evident to me that it is mere conjecture. I have the outline of thirty-eight wills, recorded in the Kent registry, but no trace of our English ancestors can be derived from them. The result of a search in the College of Arms in London, where the pedi- grees or arms of sixty-one Thurstons are recorded, reveals nothing more tangible than the fact that the arms of Thurstons of Kent have been perpetuated by three families recorded in these pages. Genealogy is defined by an encyclopedist to be " an account or his- tory of the origin, lineage and relationships of a distinguished family." So far as relates to the twelve or thirteen thousand names that fill these pages, the word " distinguished " may as well be omitted, as it is appro- priate to but very few of them ; yet without high or wide distinction, it is an amiable and fruitful sentiment which cherishes the family life, characteristically pure, patriotic, and beneficial to the world. Riches, honor, and attainments in literature and the arts have not, as a rule, been the heritage of the descendants of the name in this country. There are, however, exceptions. The great majority have had a competency, and have been seemingly happy to adopt the language of Queen Anne in the play. . . . " 'Tis better to be lowly born. And range with humble livers in content, Than to be perked up in a glistering grief. And wear a golden sorrow." Nearly all the Thurstons have moved in the middle walks of life— ~ not so elevated as to be dazed by splendor, nor so poor as to be pinched by want. Very many it will be seen have been christian ministers, and a very large proportion connected otherwise with church- 12 TO THE READER. es as members or church officers. An unusual majority were pious, God-fearing men and women. Upon the whole, the writer is quite satisfied with the character of his ancestors, and the book is as perfect as he could make it under the circumstances. Time and again he has been surprised by receiv- ing important corrections and additions a day or two after the pages were printed. All these, however, will be found in the appendix, un- der "corrections and additions," and at the end of the index. ^ He gives it to the public as it is, and hopes those who have the curiosity to peruse its pages will do so in a spirit of candor, and an apprecia- tive sense of the impossibility of putting in a form entirely correct the statistics of any family running back through a period of two hundred and fifty years. The statistics of names in the volume are as follows : Names of Thurstons 5,39° Descendants having other names 4,008 Persons who have married Thurstons or their descendants . 4,115 Persons incidentally mentioned 1,846 The pedigrees of 23 families who have married Thurstons are given. EXPLANATIONS. 1 3 EXPLANATIONS. The names of Thurstons arid their descendants are numbered consecutively from the beginning to the end of the book; so that there can be no difficulty in finding the person looked for, by following the numbers in the index. The indexes at the end of the volume are full and complete, giving every name and the number attached to it. They are given in four distinct families; so that any person in either family may be more readily found. Let every one examine the arrangement of these indexes carefully when you first get the volume, and when you have learned their order and scope, you will be able readily to ascertain where any name wanted is to be found. The generation of every Thurston is given in the first lines of every name intro- duced ; the small figures after the name denoting the generation. For example, take my own name on page 171. Brown,^ i.e., the sixth generation, son of David,^ the fifth generation, son of David,* the fourth generation, son of Richard,' the third generation, son of Daniel,^ the second generation, son of Daniel,^ the first genera- tion, who came to this country about 1635, and settled in Newbury, Mass. This + character placed before any name, denotes that further on in the book the same number will be found, in larger figures, and placed in the middle of the line, so as to strike the eye at a glance. Under these figures the history and chil- dren of the person named are given. The grand-children, when introduced after the first appearance of the name, are set a little further in from the margin than the children, and printed in italic letters ; so also the great-grand-children, are placed still further in from the margin. By taking heed to these suggestions, you need have no confusion in tracing out the fam- ilies. ARMS. 1 5 ARMS OF THURSTONS IN ENGLAND.

I have never expected to gain anything pecuniarily by my la- bor upon this work. Therefore, let any one who discovers an omission or an error, immediately communicate the same to me, and I will leave a corrected copy of the book for some one to enlarge upon, as the generations to follow shall have come upon the stage of life.

Let every one who wishes to get the full benefit of the contents of this book, turn to page 493, and note the corrections and additions, which came to the compiler after the pages alluded to were printed. They are so numerous and so important that he wishes he could af- ford to print the book over again. Take the first case, mentioned on page 493 : p. 30, no. 27, 3d line. Turn to page 30, and after the word Seaver, make a -f- with a pen, and note on the margin, see p. 493. Go through with all the corrections and additions, found all along to the very end of the index, in the same way, and the book will be prepared to give you all the information it contains. Without this labor, you may miss some very important facts. IN GENERAL. HISTORY OF THE NAME. The name of Thurston is said to be derived from the Saxon, Danisli, and Runic troest, meaning trusty or faithful. Lower's Patronymica says, " in some cases, perhaps, from the Teu- tonic name Turstin, which is found in Domesday as the designation of persons of both Norman and Saxon. One Turstanus is there de- scribed as machinator, probably a military engineer. Ton, a common termination for names of places, and consequently for those 'of persons." Ferguson says, " Thurston and others from the god Thor, son of Odin." ^ Arthur, in his work on the derivation of family names, says, " Thurston — ^local — the hill or town where the Saxon god Thor was worshiped." In Horstred's work on the Danes in England, Scotland, and Ire- land, Thurston is found as a Scandinavian name. F. H. Thurston of Oconto, Wis., says, " I have no question that the name Thurston is of Scandinavian origin, and was originally Thor-sten — Thor's stone— freely, 'God's Rock.' In the Swedish poem of Fridthof's Saga, by Bishop Tegn^r, Thorsten, although the friend of the king, and the father of the mighty Fridthof, was still a yeoman." Prof. Longfellow, in a letter dated Cambridge, May ii, 1877, says, " I have no doubt that you are of Scandinavian descent. Thorston, Thorsten, and Thurston must be one and the same. The Stone of Thor — the god of thunder. That is rather portentous, but you can- not escape this divine genealogy. Yours, very truly, Henry W. Long- fellow." Extract from a letter received from Rev. Henry Blodget,* mission- ary in China, under the auspices of the American Board : Peking, Aug. 4, 1877. My Dear Cousin: — I am interested to know that you are preparing an account of the genealogy of the Thurston family. In these days when so much is made of the science of etymology, and when fanciful derivations of words are not unfrequently suggested, you may be excused if you trace back the name Thurston to the times of heathen mythology, and find, even in paganism, a religious idea in the combina- tion of the two words by which the name is formed. You will naturally find in "Thurs" the god Thor, and in "ton" you might at first be disposed to find " town," and thus judge that " Thurston " was at first the name of a town in which worship was paid to the god "Thor." But we find the * Son of Mrs. Mary (Thurston) Blodget,. Buckapoi't, Me. 2 l8 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. name Thurs^fl», which can hardly be other than Thurs/<7», as early as the twelfth century. Sir Walter Scott, in his "History of Scotland," vol. i, chap. 3, P-.2S, writes, " Thurstan, archbishop of York, a prelate of equal prudence and spirit, summoned a convention of the English northern barons, and exhorted them to a determined resistance." This form of the name, ending in "/(^«," suggests thane, a "minister, servant, soldier, oiBcer, master," lord of manor, baron, as the original of "ton." In that case the Thurstons were originally the servants or ministers of Thor, and, when converted, we may hope they became the no less zealous servants of the living and true God. At all events it is pleasing to find that one of the fam- ily in the early part of the twelfth century had attained to the dignity of being archbishop of York. And it may be excusable in a son, if in reading of the " bless- ing of the aged Thurstan," spoken of by Sir Walter Scott, he is reminded of the benedictions which but a few years since in the state of Maine so often fell upon waiting congregations from the lips of his own sire, " the venerable Father Thurs- ton."* Thorstein (son of Erik the Red) in 1005 made an unsuccessful visit to Vineland (New England, called Vineland from its • abundance of vines) and died on the expedition, showing that America was sure- ly discovered by the Northmen long before Columbus.

In 1132 he founded Fountam Abbey, and upon its ruins still remains his device "a thrush upon a tun." He is described as a "man of lofty stomach but vet of notable learnmg."

This act gave great offense to Henry, who banished him tor a year or more ; but he was afterward restored, and gained from the pope the privilege that his See should be independent of and equal to that of Canterbury. This was one of many points of contention in those times, and changes were often made. York was sometimes subject to Canterbury and sometimes independent, the popes favoring either, as they liked them best; but at length Canterbury prevailed. These contests of Nor- man pride helped on the popes' usurpations. Thurstan himself was a compound of the Norman baron with the christian bishop, and his character may serve as a specimen of many of the great churchmen of his day; but there were in him great and good (jualities mixed with the darkness and superstition of his time. When he was fixed in his exalted station, he was remarkable for the strictness of his Kfe and the firm uprightness of his conduct., His mode of living was frugal, and yet as generous as became a bishop, who ought to be "given to hospitality." He was abundant in alms-deeds and instant in prayer. In the celebration of the holy com- munion he was often moved to tears. He promoted men of good life and learning; was gentle to the obedient and unbending, though without harshness, to the oppo- nents of good discipline. He was as severe to himself as he was to others, and was remarked for the severity of his penances, going on fast days attired in sack- cloth and, what was then a common practice, afflicting his body with a scourge. He was at an advanced age when, in the third year of Stephen's reign, A.D. 1138, David, king of Scotland, having declared in favor of his niece, the empress Matil- da, collected his forces and made a dreadful inroad into the northern counties, turn- ing his pretext of opposing a usurper into a plea for plundering and massacring the inhabitants of a country at peace with him. There was neither counsel nor con- duct among the barons of the north ! Some who dwelt nearest the border had joined the invading army that they might partake the spoils, when Thurstan invited them to a conference for the defense of the country. He represented to them the disgrace that was brought upon the realm of the Norman conquerors if they, who had overcome a people often victorious over the Scots, were now to quail before such less worthy antagonists. He showed them that the nature of the inroad made it no longer a question whether the Scots came as allie^of the empress or enemies of England, and that whoever might be the rightful sovereign, it was their duty to protect the soil and the people against such wanton injury and destruction. The barons, Walter I'Espec of Cleveland, Roger Mowbray, William Percy, and other large landed proprietors in Yorkshire, assembled an army, with which they en- camped at North Allerton. To impress on the people the conviction that they were to fight, not for a doubtful title, but for the cause of religion, their churches and their homes, there was no royal banner carried to the field; but a tall ship- mast, erected on a wagon, bore a sacred ensign, such as was used in the processions of the church, representing our Saviour on the cross, pierced with his five wounds. Round this the Norman barons, with their retainers, vowed to stand or fall. Ralph, bishop of Orkney, a suffragan of Thurstan (Thurstan being too infirm to come in person), mounted the wagon, and encouraged the soldiers to fight with the confi- dence that it was a holy war. The Scots, after a stubborn conflict, were completely routed and fled in disorder; and thus an end was put to the most successful attempt they ever made on the borders, and one which, but for Thurstan's devout energy, would in all probability have given them possession of the whole country north of the Humber. Within two years after the battle of the standard, as it was called, the aged Thurstan felt his vital vigor to decay, and prepared for a more solemn hour of conflict. He set his house in order, and assembling the priests of the cathedral of York in his own chapel, made his last confession before them ; and lying with bared body on the ground before the altar of St. Andrew, received from some of their hands the discipline of the scourge, with tgars bursting from his contrite heart. And re- membering a vow made in his youth at Clugny, the famous monastery in Burgundy, he went to Pontefract, to a newly founded house of Cluniac monks, followed by an honorable procession of the priests of the church of York and a great number of laymen. There, on the festival of the conversion of St. Paul, he took the habit of a monk in the regular way, received the abbot's blessing, and for the remainder of his life gave himself entirely to the care of the salvation of his soul. On the 6th of February, A.D. 1140, twenty-six years and a half after his accession to the archbishopric, the canons of the church of York and other religious persons standing round, the hour of his departure being at hand, he celebrated the vigils in commemoration of the dead in Christ, read the lesson himself (probably Job, chap. 20 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. X.), and with a clear voice, pausing and sometimes groaning in spirit, chanted the solemn verses of the hymn Dies irce: Day of wrath, the dreadful doy.

Care thou, Lord, for my last end I At the end of this solemn service of humiliation he sank to the earth, and while the monks gathered around and prayed for him, breathed his last. The beautiful Cistercian Abbey- of Fountains was founded by the charity of this remarkable christian bishop. He was also the founder of the See of Carlisle, A.D. 1133- Thurston was one of the archbishops of Fife, Scotland, in the twelftli century. John Thurston and Margaret his wife were imprisoned in Col- chester castle, where he died in May, ,1557, and his wife, on Sept. 17th following, was burned. Walter Thurston,, vicar of Mettingham, Suffolk county, 1349. John Thurston, rector of Flixton, Suffolk county, 1562. Thurstons of Challock, resident there as early as the reign of Edward IV., 1461, extinct since 1622.

Daniel Thurston, probably from Cranbrook, Kent county, in the south-east portion of England, had a grant of " an house' lott " in Newbury, Mass., Nov. 6, 1638. He married Anne Lightfoot, Aug. 29, 1648, and died without issue Feb. 16, 1666. Daniel Thurston, probably a nephew of the above, as he gave him all his property by will, married Anne Pell, Oct. 20, 1655, and lived and died in Newbury ; is the gertn from which all the Newbury Thurstons came, as will be seen further on in this book. There is a tradition that three brothers of the name came together from England, and landed in Newbury, in 1638. Of these, the two Daniels settled in Newbury. Farmer mentions a John Thurston of Newbury in 1641, who may have been of the number. It is possible that Edward Thurston of Newport, R. I., was one, whose descend- ants are largely delineated in this work. THURSTON GENEALOGIES. 21 Richard Thurston had a ten acre lot granted him in Salem, Mass., Jan. 29, 1636-7 ; was a mariner. He married Martha Stanley, daughter of Christopher Stanley, moved to Boston and had a son, Samuel, born there July 11, 1652. Charles Thurston, in Plymouth, Mass., was able to bear arms in August, 1643. John Thurston had a grant of twenty acres of land ,in Salem, Mass., Jan. 21, 1638-9, and appears on record in Salem till 1655, in which year we find a John in Newport, R. I., on the list of freemen, which very likely was the same man. John Thurston of Wrentham, Suffolk county, Eng., aged thirty, and his wife Margaret, aged thirty-two, were passengers for New Eng- land in the "Mary Anne" of Yarmouth, Eng., May 10, 1637. They are traced down to the present time further on in the volume. Richard Thurston, commander of the " John Adventure " of New England, by order of the council of state, had license to go to Maryland with his ship June 9, 1651. By another order of June nth, a petition from him was referred to the committee of the adm'iralty. July 29, 1652, he was granted permission by the English authorities to carry one ton of shot and fifty-six barrels of powder to New Eng- land, and was instructed to declare the Dutch enemies to the com- monwealth ; war having just been declared against Holland. Thomas Thurston, a Quaker, aged thirty-four, was a passenger in the " Speedwell," from London, May 30, 1656, and landed at Boston Aug. 27, 1656. He, with three other passengers, after being exam- ined, were committed to prison, " there to remain until the return of the ship that brought them," and then to be carried back to England, " lest the purity of the religion professed in the churches of New England should be defiled with error." Thomas Thurston resided at Southold, L. I., 1670 to 1692. He married Priscilla, daughter of Richard Benjamin. He died October, 1697. She died October, 1722. They had: John, married Mary, daughter of Jonathan Moore. Thomas, born 1680; died Feb. 6, 1736. Robert, married Martha Horton. THURSTON GENEALOGIES. Daniel Thurston, senior, clme from England to Newbury, in the county of Essex, state of Massachusetts, at a very early day, as upon the records of Newbury there is an entry of ajigrant to him in these words: "24 November, 1638, there was granted unto Daniell Thurs- ton an house lot on the Neck, over the great river, of four acres, next to John Osgood." As Newbury was incorporated in 1635, he must have come to America between 1635 and 1638. Thus far, it has been impossible to ascertain for a certainty from 22 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. what county in England this Daniel came. There was at the time an immense emigration from England to this country. And among tne names collected by Drake while in England, no name of ^^^"'^;^°" appears among the early emigrants except that of John I tiursron, who was from Wrentham, in the county of Suffolk, and came over in the "Mary Anne" of Yarmouth, and settled in Dedham m 1637, at the age of thirty-six. -n -.^.i Upon this subject of the place of nativity of the elder Daniel, James Savage, the historian, of Boston, in a letter to Hon. A. i). Thurston of Elmira, N. Y., dated Sept. 16, 1858, says: As yet nobody can answer your two points as to the//fl« in England from which your progenitor came, or the ship which brought him. That all the 1 hurstons in America did 7iot spring from the Newbury family, the highest probability appears. One John Thurston had a grant of land [twenty acres] at Salem m 163b Lrecords say, 21, II month, 1639], but he may'be a different John, I think, from him whose baptism at Wrentham, Eng., 13 January, 1601, I have certified to me. He came m the Mary Anne from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, the nearest port for that part of Suffolk in which Wrentham lies, about fifteen miles distant, 1637, bringing two sons, Thomas, baptized 4 August, 1633, and John, baptized 13 September, 1635. Here he lived at Dedliam and owned estate in that part which became Medfield.^ . . A Charles, too, I find at Plymouth, 1643, and Edward at Newport, who married, 1647, and had plenty of children. As none of these give me their whereabouts in England, or tell in what ship any one came, we are left quite at large to conjecture. Still it must be a good point to know so exactly about John, and it is a fair infer- ence that one or more of the next came from the county of Suffolk. Many of the substantial yeomen and prosperous mechanics of that shire were, no doubt, attract- ed to our side of the water by the success of their neighbor, our first governor, Winthrop. Joshua Coffin of Newbury, who was somewhat of a historian, writes to A. S. Thurston, under date of April 15, 1859: I find in the county records the names of two hundred and thirty-six persons of Newbury who took the oath of allegiance in September, 1678. The list is in the elegant hand writing of Rev. John Woodbridge, who affixed the age to every name. Thus he says, "Daniel Thurston, forty." Now if the age and date of his marriage are correct, he was only seventeen when he was married to Anne Pell, who, I think, came from Salem. There were Pells in Salem but none in Newbury. Whether the age of Daniel is or is not correct, he was a boy when he came to Newbury with his uncle Daniel, who was one of the original grantees of Newbury, and of course came between 1635 and 1638. Again, the Newbury troubles about the militia happened, if I remember rightly, about 1655. It is therefore very prop- erly said, " young Daniel Thurston is under his uncle." Of the two hundred and thirty-six who took the oath of fidelity the ages are from sixteen to sixty. Young Daniel to be under his uncle must have been less than twenty-one. He probably had taken the oath of allegiance and signed the petition. Nothing satisfactory can be ascertained from the witnesses of the two wills. John Poor was Daniel Thurs- ton's next door neighbor in Newbury. He came from Wiltshire, 1635. 1°^" Cheney came to Roxbury in 1635, thence to Newbury. Richard Dol^, son of Wil- liam, was born in Thornbury, Eng., 1624; was a clerk in Mr. Lowell's store in Bristol, 1639. Thomas Hale came from some other part of England, and all of them. Poor, Cheney, Dole, and Hale, were Thurston's near neighbors in Newbury. In the History of Kejit, by Edward Hasted, published at Canter- bury in 1798, vol. vii., and in the Kent Genealogies, published by William Bowry in 1830, will be found something relating to the history and genealogy of families of the name of Thurston, but the only ground for supposing our Newbury family sprung from them is the frequent occurrence of " Richard " and " Daniel," family names The books above referred to will be found in the Astor Library. THURSTON GENEALOGIES. 23 The elder Daniel is stated by Savage to have lost his first wife May 25, 1648, and to have married for his second, Aug. 29, 1648, Ann Lightfoot, who without doubt was the widow of Francis Lightfoot of Lynn, who came from London and died in 1646. Dan- iel Thurston died Feb. 16, 1666, having on the 2Sth day of June, 1665, made his last will and testament. On March 27, 1666, R^phard Dole testified to the making of the will, and on the loth of April, 1666, John Cheney, senior, before William Gerrish and Nich. Noyes, certified to its authenticity. Those taking the proof are styled " com- missioners." The following is a copy of his will : June ye 20th, 1665. I, Daniell Thurston of Newberry in New England, being weake in body but in parfect memorie, doe make and appoynt this as ray last will and Testamunt. Wherein ffirst I doe give and bequeathe my now dwelling house and Barne and all my lands both up land and* meadow with all ye privileges and ap- purtainences thereunto belonging^unto Daniell Thurston my kinsman of ye same town of Newberry before mentioned : save only what I shall except: And also I doe give unto ye same Daniel all my goods and chattels. I give unto Ann my wife my fetherbeds with bolster and pillow : and all appurtain- ing thereto, and her chest and her box, with all her clothing, her own brass kettle and an iron pot : and ten pounds by ye yeare in good pay namely, in corn, butter, cheese and porke : or her thirds of ye lande : All this above mentioned concarn- ingmywife: during her natural life I do give it unto her. But in case my wife chuse rather to live with my kinsman Daniell Thurston then he shall comfortably mayntain her with meat, drink and clothes: and give her twenty shillings by ye yeare ye one half in money, ye other half in cheese and butter. And I doe ordayne and apoiynt my kinsman Daniell Thurston above mentioned to be my soall and alone executor. The mark for D. T., Daniell Thurston. Seal. Signed and sealed in ye presence of us, John Cheney, Sen":, Richard Dole. Ye court held at Ipswich the 27 of March, 1666, Richard Dole upon oath testified that this is the last will and Testament of Daniel Thurston to the best of his knowl- edge. As attest Robert Lord, Clerk. John Cheney, Sen', certified on oath that this will is the Last of Daniell Thurston to the best of his knowledge this loth day of April, i666. Before us, Wm. Gerrish, Nich» Noyes, Com". The " kinsman," Daniel Thurston, the devisee in the foregoing will, was undoubtedly a nephew of the testator, as in a paper entitled " Newbury troubles," * it is there stated, as a ground of the disability of some of the signers, that "young Daniell Thurston is under his uncle." Though this paper is without date. Coffin in his letter to me says it was about 1655. If this were so, and young Daniel were then a minor, he must have been almost an infant in arms when his uncle came to Newbury. In 1678 there was a list of two hundred and thirty-six names of those who took the oath of allegiance.! In this is the name Daniel Thompson, forty, which should undoubtedly be Daniel Thurston, as this printed list contains many mistakes. t There is also in the list the name of " Daniel Thurston, jun', seventeen," and this makes the year of this Daniel's birth 1661, which agrees with the record. ♦Genealogical Register, vol. viii., page 274. t Genealogical Register, vol. vii., page 349 t Coffin's letter, Genealogical Begister, vol. viii., page 72. 24 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. Posterity of Daniel Thurston. jFicst eifeneratttin. 1 Daniel Thurston,^ the "kinsman," and probable ancestor of all the Newbury Thurstons, married,* Oct* 20, 1655, Anne Pell, a daughter, as Savage supposes, of Joseph Pell of Lynn, the same town whence came Ann Lightfoot, the wife of the elder Thurston, a cir- cumstance adding probability to Savage's conjecture. He died Feb. 19, 1693. The following is a copy of his will : Be it known to all men by these presents that I, Daniel Thurston, Sen', of New- berry in the county of Essex in New England, being weak of body but of perfect memory, doe hereby make my last will and testament. Commending my soul to God and my body when it shall depart this life to decent buriall in an assured hope of a blessed resurrection. And for my worldly goods which God of his mercy hath given me I dispose of as followeth, viz. : I have by deed of gift under my hand and seale made over to my Sonne Daniel Thurston one-half of my lands and meadow that I have in the town of Newberry known by the name of Rake Lott, which was done upon his marriage, with all priv- iledges and appurtenances yerto belonging, and I doe now make over to my sonne Daniel Thurstain All my buildings with the other half of all my lands and meadows with priviledges and appurtenances yrto belonging on conditions as follows: First. That he, my said sonne Daniel, and his heirs Doth take care of and pro- vide comfortably for his mother soe long as She shall remain my widow. Secondly.

POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. 2$ pay for my funerall expenses and also to pay all ray lawful debts which he is to do out of my movable estate. And if there be any overplus the rest of it is to be di- vided amongst four of my children, viz., Joseph, Stephen, Sarah and Abigail. But if it soe fall y' yer be not enough o£ my movable estate to pay all my lawful! debts then I order that my son Daniel shall be abated so much of the hundred and twenty pounds which he was to pay to his brothers and sisters above mentioned as will dis- charge the remainder of my debts, and my four children, Joseph, Steven, Sarah, and Abigail, shall beare it equally among them, and I doe desire my loving friends John Poore, Henry Poore, to be the overseers of this my last will and testament.

The mark of Daniel Thurston. Signed, sealed, and declared in ye presence of John Poor, Thomas Hale. The mark of Stephen Thurston. Note. I have inspected the original document in the probate office in Salem, and it is scorched as though it had been thrown in the fire and rescued from the flames before being consumed. It is mere conjecture that this was done, and that the addendum following, dated the same day, was made to appease somebody who was dissatisfied with the first part of the will. A. S. Thurston. For some addition to what is above written, Whereas it is expected that my be- loved wife shall halve a feather bed and furniture and five pound more out of the house daring life and also that my daughter Sarah shall have fourteen pound out of the household stuff, And whereas I left the rest of my movables within doors to my son Daniel, My will now is that after my daughter Sarah have had her fiveteen and my beloved wife her bed with furniture and her five pounds that then what is left of my movable estate within doors shall be equally divided between my daugh- ters Sarah and Abigail and prized to them as part of their thirty pounds apeace, and so much as it amounts to shall be taken off from the sixty pounds in Cattell , which my son Daniel was to pay them. And my will is that my son Daniel shall pay all the abatement of said sixty pounds to my two sons Joseph and Stephen. And Whereas it is above provided that if my movable estate without doors will not pay all my lawfull debts, that then my son Daniel shall be abated so much of the hundred and twenty pound which he was to pay his brothers and sisters as would discharge the remainder of my debt, and that my two sons Joseph and Stephen and my two daughters Sarah and Abigail should bear it equally between them. My will now is y' if my movable estate without doors will not discharge all my lawfull debts, that then ray said Daniel shall take out of what I ordered him to pay my two sons Joseph and Stephen Soe much as will discharge the remainder of my debts and with the same pay the remainder of my engagements. And whereas I have given to my beloved wife a bed with furnitur and five pounds more out of the house which she is to have during her life, my will is that at her decease it shall be equally divided between my two daughters Sarah and Abigail. My will further is that whereas I did order my son Daniel to pay his brothers and sisters portions in Cattell, my will is that it shall be paid in neat Cattell under Seaven years old.

This receipt is dated Nov. 5, 1744. Deduct 21 form 44 would mal^e John b0rn in 1723. Ttie inscription upon the grave-stone of John the elder, at Fitchburgh, Mass., is, "In memory of Dea. John Thurston, who died Aug. 5, 1807, aged 83 years. The sweet remembrance of the just Shall flourish when they sleep in dast." Being 83 years of age in 1807 would malte him born in 1724; so there is no doabt, in my mind, but that he was the John mentioned aa the son of Jonathan. Mr. Cyrus Thurston of Fitchbnrgh informed me that John Thurston removed from Rowley in 1766, wben 43 years of age. In the register's office at Worcester ia the record of a deed, Ephraim Whitney of Fitchbnrgh to John Thurs- ton of Rowley, dated Aug. 1 6, 1765. This pnrchaae waa the fall before he moved from How- ley, as above. His wife's name was Lydia. Fitchburgh was formed from Lunenburgh, and all the Thurstons had land there, as is seen by their wills.

Richard Thurston, who died May the i8th, 1789, ffitat 78 yrs., 9 mo., 10 d." In a memorandum of deaths left by him he says, " my venerable grandfather Dresser died March 14, 1724, in his 85th year. My honored mother [i. a. his wife's mother], Mary Jewett, died Jan. 22, 1742, in the 63d year of her age. My honored father, Jonathan Jewett, died July 25, 1745, in his 67th year." Dea. Richard Thurston * was a farmer in Rowley, now Georgetown, Mass. ; was chosen deacon of the second church at its organization, Oct. 4, 1732. In his family devotions he was accustomed to use this petition, " that the Lord would be a God to him and his descendants to the latest generation, as long as the sun and moon endure." Rev. David Thurston, d.d., a igrant grandson of Richard, settled over the Congregational church in Winthrop, Me., for over forty years, not long before he died in 1865, said concerning these prayers, " they have been greatly blessed as regards their spiritual interests ; quite a number are or have been deacons and deacons' wives, and ministers and ministers' wives." He was a captain of the " second foot com- pany" of Rowley June, 1757, and in that company were John Thurs- ton and Stephen Thurston as privates. Benjamin Thurston was on Capt. Thurston's alarm list. The following is his will : In the name of GOD, Amen. I, Richard Thurston of Rowley, in the county of Essex and commonwealth of the Massachusetts in New England, gentleman, being sound of body and perfect in mind and memory, but calling to mind the cartainty of death and the uncartainty of the time when it will come, do make and ordain this to be my last will and testament, in manner and form following : In the first place I recommend my soul to GOD who gave it and my body to the earth to be buried in a decent christian manner as my executors hereafter named shall think fit and proper, and as touching the distribution of my worldly goods and estate, I dispose of the same as foUoweth : Imprimis.

Deacon Thurston of Rowley came in last night; a vener- able old man with his snowy, hoary locks, Kent and the deacon soon clashed upon religion. " Don't you think, sir," sava the deacon, " we are here probationers for eternity ? " " No, by no means," says Kent. " We are here probationers for the next state, and in the next we shall be probationers for the next that is to follow, and so on through as many states as there are stars or sands to all eternity. Tou have gone through several states already before this." "Ay," says the deacon, " where do you get this; don't you believe the Scriptures? " 1 put in my oar. " He made It, deacon, out of whole cloth; it never existed out of his imagination." Kent. " I get it from analogy." It is the delight of this Kent's heart to tease a minister or deacon with his wild conceits about religion. 38 THURSTON GENEALOGIES.

POSTKRITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. 45- Mr. Thurston was an architect and house carpenter * in Bradford, Mass. He was a "noted man in his day;" was a member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress and enlisted in the revolutionary war. He and his son Nathaniel were representative and senator for thirty years in succession, one and sometimes both at the same time in the legislature of Massachusetts. He held many responsible of- fices in town and state ; was colonel of a regiment, one of the framers of the constitution of Massachusetts, and a deacon in the Congregational church. The following is a copy of his will : In the name of God, amen. The twenty-ninth day of October eighteen hundred and one. I, Daniel Thurston, of Bradford in the County of Essex, and Common- wealth of Massachusetts, Esquire, being of sound mind and memory, and consider- ing the uncertainty of Life, think it best to settle my estate, which I now undertake to do in the following manner, viz, : First and principally, I commit my soul into the hands of God who gave it, and my body to the earth from whence it was taken, to be buried at the discretion of my executor hereafter named. Imprimis. I will that all my just debts and funeral charges be paid by my execu- tor herein hereafter named. Item. I will that Elizabeth my loving wife take one-third part of my real estate according to Law, and also I give her one-third of the household furniture, and the Other two-thirds of said furniture I give to my three daughters, to be equally di- vided between them" or their desendants. I also order that my executor pay my said wife yearly the sum of ten dollars, so long as it pleases God to continue her life, and that my executor shall provide firewood for my said wife ready cut at the door ; also that he find her an horse and chaise to ride to meeting and elsewhere, as she shall have occation. Item. I give to my son Benjamin Thurston ten dollars, which is his part of my estate, including what he hath already had. Item. I give to my son Nathaniel Thurston, Esquire, all my real estate lying in the town of Bradford, and also a piece of salt meadow in the Town of Rowley; to- gether with all my quick stock of every discription, except what is otherwise dis- posed of. Item. I give to my son Daniel Thurston the sum of five hundred dollars, to be paid him in three months after my decease, and also I give him my share in Brad? ford Social Library. Item. I give to Captn Peter, Kimball, who married ray daughter Betty, the sum of twenty-six dollars, to be paid him in three months after my decease. Item. I give to Deacon Richard Walker, who married my daughter Mary, the sum of twenty-six dollars and one cow, to be paid him in three months after my de- cease. Item. I give to the children of my daughter Hannah, who was the wife of Timo- thy Gage, the sum of twenty-six dollars, to be paid them in three months after my decease. ■ I likewise make and ordain my son Nathaniel Thurston, esquire, sole executor of this my last will and testament, ratifying this and no other to be such. Daniel Thurston. Seal. ' * When a young man he built a meeting-house in New Hampshire. Tea and coffee were not maoli used in those days, and he took several cakes of chocolate to the lady with whom he boarded and requested her to make some chocolate for breakfast. She pat it into a large kettle and hung it over the fire, and when she came to take it up she exclaimed, "O, Mr. Thurston, it has all come to pieces, what shall I do ! " He told her to pass a bowl of it and a pitcher of hot water and he would make it all right. They had a good laugh o?er it and a fine dish of chocolate. He had two front teeth come after he was seventy years old. Mr. Thurston was a man who commanded the respect of every one. He was usually made moderator of their town meetings. A gentleman says, " they had a town meeting one day, and Col. Thurston was detained for a short time, and they put a vote which divided the house and made great noise and confusion. Just at this time Wfr. Thurston stepped in, and every hat was off and every man in his seat in a moment, and so still that the slightest noise was perceptible," lUr. Thurston remarked afterward that he never was in a more orderly meeting. He was a man of great strength. His son Daniel went to his house for a barrel of cider, and went to the barn to get a man to help him get it out of the cellar and into his cart, and when returning met his father carrying the barrel by the chimes out of the yard, over the gate-way, and placing /t In the cart said, "you may drive off Daniel." 46 THURSTON GENEALOGIES.

Second, Chloe Redington, born May II, 1767. She was a daughter oft^^^^^^^^ftS^ Sarah (Hook) Redington. Mr. Redington was a farmer in Boxford, Mass. When Chloe was quite young he sold his farm and purchased a trading vessel. On the morning of his departure in this vessel he took his family, wife and six small children, into the front room, drew the shutters, and commended them all to God. He left and was never heard from after. Chloe's mother died in Newburyport Sept.^ 28, 1823, aged 86 years, 9 months. While yet an infant Chloe was given by her mother to her aunt, Mrs. Rev. Jacob Bacon. After Mrs. Bacon's death, and when Mr. Thurston married her daughter, he took Chloe with his wife to their new home, which became her life home. Mr. Thurston often said " I brought my two wives home at once." David Thurston died in Sedgwick, Me., Aug. 26, 182 1, aged 70; his wife died in Bucksport, where she spent the last few years of her life in the family of her daughter, Mrs. Blodget, Oct. 12, 1862, at the ripe old age of 95 years, 5 months, and was buried in Sedgwick. David Thurston was a farmer in New Rowley* till June, 1796, when he removed to Sedgwick, following the same occupation. He made the journey on horseback, stopping at many places to see what advantages they offered, but with the resolution that he would not locate where there was no orthodox minister. In conversation with a gentleman in Bangor he said, '' I have money in my pocket to buy this land, which included all that is now Bangor city, but I will not settle where my family cannot have the gospel." So he went on forty miles to Sedgwick, where Rev. Daniel Merrill, a pupil of Dr. Spring, senior, was pastor of a Congregational church. Very soon there was a great revival and his two older sons were con- verted ; his seven sons were all christians. The family came in a sloop from Newburyport to Bluehill Falls. There with four children, the oldest four years old, they were put into a boat and rowed four miles to the old saw-mill in the dead of night. Here they waited for the dawn. David and Richard came with an *Among the papers of ReT. Dayid Thurston, d.d., of Winthrop, was found the following interesting record; " In New Rowley they were a long time destitute of a pastor, though they generally had preaching on the Sabbath. Some sixty different ministers preached there between the time the first minister of the church, Rev. James Chandler, became un- able to preach through the infirmities of age and the settlement of the second minister, Rey. Isaac Braman, in June, 1797. They extended invitations to three candidates to become pas- tors, who all returned a negative answer. Mr. William Bradford was, lacking one vote, unanimously invited to be their pastor. He deferred giving his answer a long time and then sent a negative. Then another and another were employed, among whom was Rev Eliiah Kellogg, who negatived their call and was afterward pastor of the second churchin Portland, Me. After him, Mr. Samuel Toombs had a call, which he declined. Mr Toombs was after that pastor of a church in West Newbury, Mass., and then pastor of a church in Salem N Y Several of these ministers boarded in my father's family. So noted had the place become for employing candidates without settling them, that it became a sort of proverb amonir them that no one could obtain a settlement until he had preached a while in New Rowlev " The sad result of hea.ing so many, was the division of the church and societv verv near equally, into two parties, distinguished by the terms Hopkinsians and moderate Calvinista Some of the leading points upon which they differed, and about which there was much warm discussion, were ' the duty of men to exercise disinterested benevolence, the natural nhilitr of the sinner to repent or to comply with the terms of the gospel, the doings of the unroo^pn erate,' etc. Rev. Samuel Hopkins, d.d., of Newport, R. 1., and Rev. Siimuel Spring dd of Newburyport were among the ablest advocates on the Hopkiusian side, and Rev David Tan pan, D.D., then of West Newbury, afterward professor of theology in Harvard tjnivfirtiiv" and Rev. Joseph Dana, D.D., of Ipswich on the side of the moderate Calvinists. Mv fatliJr embraced the views of the Hopkinsians, and was an admirer of the writings of brs Honltin« and Spring, with the latter of whom he had a personal acquaintance, residing only ten Kii in. from him." j ou uiuos POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. 53 ox-team to take them to their new home, which was rough and not very clean. Some time after, a quantity of milk having been spilled, mother called to the maid, " Patty, Patty, I have found the floor." [This incident was related by one of the children.] He was a man of commanding presence, nearly six feet high. He held the reins of government with a strong hand ; exerted a molding influence on thafcharacter of his large family, so that not one fell into habits of vrce. In his religion he was firmly orthodox, owning and studying such works as Edwards' and Hopkins.' He was con- stant in family worship, taught his children the Assembly's catechism, and so influenced them that they have all remained steadfast in the orthodox faith.* He was selectman of Sedgwick and justice of the peace many years. Mrs. Chloe Thurston was a bright, sprightly woman, of great ener- gy and endurance, and did a wonderful work in the care of a large family, for which they bless her memory.

The first family gathering that the writer is cognizant of was at the paternal home3'"ead in Sedgwick, Daniel Oliver Thurston's residence, Aug. 25, 1849, where eleven brothers and sisters, with the wives and husbands of ten of them, passed the night, making twenty-seven in all. The second, June 28, 1860, was at the house of Samuel Thurston of Bangor, at which were S resent the mother, Mrs. Chloe R. Thurston, 93 years old, four sons, four daughters, five chil- ren by marriage, eighteen gi-andchildreu, ten grandchildren by marriage, seven great-grand- • children, making forty-nine. The incidents transpiring are given by Rev. David Thurston as follows: " Collected to partake of refreshments, thanks being given and a blessing sought, all except mother were standing. As she was havina such a green old age and all were dis- posed to honor her, in t»ken of respect Mary Pond had prepared a garland of evergi-een. It fell to me, as the oldest, to place it as a crown upon mother's head. Holding it up I re- marked, * this, though called an evergreen, will ultimately fade. We put it upon your head, trusting that hereafter there will be placed upon it a crown of righteousness, a crown of glory which shall never fade.' After supper John R. and Fanny desired me to administer baptism to their infant son. Having in prayer besought the God of Abraham, the father of the faithful, for his presence and blessing on the parents and the child, Walter Lawi-ence was baptized into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy (jhost. This gave variety, solemnity, and interest to the occasion. In the evening several tunes were performed on the piano, several hymns sung, cheerful conversation was had. The parting hymn, ' Blest be the tie that binds,' was sung, some parting words uttered, and prayer offered. The season has been exceedingly pleasant and I trust not without profit. We may never all expect to meet again in this world. It will be marvelous grace should we all be so happy as to meet in that better world where sorrowful parting will not be known. May the God of all grace grant we may there meet." The third meeting was Aug. 2, 1861, at the house of Dea. John Buck of Orland. The moth- er was present, five brothers, four wives, four sisters with their husbands, and children and grandchildren to the number of eighty. Oct. 31. 1861, at the house of Brown Thurston in Portland, the golden wedding of Rev. David and Prudence (Brown) Thurston was celebrated in an appropriate manner, thirty-one of the relatives and friends being present. June 6, 1ST7, at his own house m Searsport, the golden wedding of Rev. Stephen and Clara ( Benson) Thurston was happily and enthusiastically celebrated, thirty-one of their relatives and a large company of resident friends being present. 54 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. 548 Hannah,^ b.

She spnjin^ from a stern Puritan ancestry, being tlie sixth in descent from William Worcester, who emigi-ated from England to Essex county, Mass., about the year 1638, and among whose descendants are enrolled some of the most emi- nent names that have graced the annals of American biography. Noah Worcester, the father, was a captain in the revolutionary army and marched at the head of a company in the winter of 1775-6 to reinforce Washington at Cambridge. For forty years he was a magistrate in his native town of Hollis, and was a member of the convention which formed the constitution of New Hampshire. Her two elder brothers enlisted in the continental army at the ages re- spectively of fifteen and sixteen years. The elder participated in the battles of Hennington and Bnnlier Hill, and the younger accompanied the expedition to Ticonderoga. Upon the re- turn of peace one of these brothers became a farmer at the paternal homestead in Hollis— still held by one of his descendants — and the elder of the two and three more became, and for long years were, pastors of churches in New Hampshire, and were men eminent in letters and distinguished for learning and piety. Mrs Ireland having lost two husbands, the former Stephen Thurston of Bedford, N. H., and the latter Jonathan Ireland of Dunbarton, N. H., made Elmira her permanent place of residence in the fall of 1855, residing with her only child and her step-children, Clara and Ariel S Thurston, with the latter of whom she was living at the time of her decease. Natarallv of a retiring disposition, she was only known to her intimate friends. They can bear teStinionv to her shining character as a woman and a christian. No poor encomiums that we can nass upon her life can come up to the full and complete measure of her worth.

She died April 21, 1809, only four months after marriage, aged 22 y. 2 m. 5 d. Her father was a tanner and large farmer, a man of social standing and influence. He was town treasurer thirty-one years, twice chosen county treasurer, four- teen times elected representative to Massachusetts 'legislature, one term in the senate of Maine, presidential elector in 1804, postmaster until his death in 1812.

She died at her daughter's in West Springfield, Mass., May 28, 187 1, aged 85, years. Rev. David Thurs- ton died at Litchfield Corner, Me., May 7, 1865, aged 86 years. Mrs. Thurston was a lady of great efficiency and decision of char- acter ; possessing energy, fervent piety, and a wonderful equability of temper. Her administrative qualities were marked by an undefinable quiet influence, which created an enthusiasm in all with whom she la- bored. She did very much to promote thrift and forethought in the members of her household, and also a self-sacrificing spirit of benevo- lence in them and in the parish. She acted upon the principle, and inculcated it in others, that what is given without sacrifice is hardly true benevolence, and therefore, to make up a purse for some benevo- lent or missionary object, she would interest the members of her fam- ily to go without tea, sugar or coffee, and thus save the cost of such articles for the object in hand. In this way the true spirit of benevo- lence was implanted, which grew into a habit, to be practiced through life in many cases. * Brown Familt. I.

' '' POSTERITY OF DANIKL THURSTON. 9 1 In her clay, the minister's house was a sort of hotel, and often de- volved great burdens upon the wife. She was always in readiness for these emergencies ; in such a quiet way, too, that it was often a won- der how she sustained the strain, and maintained the cheerful, unruf- fled demeapor, which marked her life. It was no uncommon occur- rence for eight or ten persons to arrive at the house without any notice, to be fed and lodged ; but it made no visible change or distraction in her manner — she was equal to the occasion. All clergymen, and many other classes of educated men of the various professions, agents for benevolent objects, in the early part of this century, used to go to the minister's, as a matter of course. She was foremost in every good work, of education, of habits, or of reform, and always accomplished something, if not all that was aimed at. The last years of her life were clouded by an aberration of mind which destroyed her own happiness, though she retained for her hus- band, her children, and her friends, all the love and watchful interest that characterized her previous life. Among her husband's papers was found the following estimate he put upon her character : " Having uncommon soundness of judgment, she was a very discreet and judicious counselor. Her moral princi- ples were elevated and pure; her integrity scrupulously exact; her conscientiousness strict and extensive. She was eminently peaceable and contented, patient in sufferings and submissive under afflictive and trying dispensations. My income was very limited ; yet such was her economical skill in the arrangement of her domestic concerns, that the family — she was the mother of eight children — always had a com- fortable supply of wholesome, well prepared food, and of decent ap- parel. She was benevolent to her fellow-men, and took a lively inter- est in all the benevolent enterprises of the day ; she was not ashamed to plead the cause of the oppressed and fallen, and was ready to every good work. Her piety was not -superficial, but deep and controlling; not fitful, but uniform. She was humble and decided in regard to all the fundamental truths and duties of the bible. She was harmless and blameless without rebuke. The heart of her husband safely trusted in her. Her children arise up and call her blessed." Rev. David Thurston was in childhood devoted to God in baptism ; from his earliest recollection he was accustomed to hear the Scrip- tures read, and prayer offered in the family, and early commenced committing to memory what he styled "that invaluable manual of christian doctrine and duty, the Westminster Assembly's Shorter Cat- echism." Through the influence of strict family discipline and relig- ious instruction, he was kept back from presumptuous sins, and was what was called a decently behaved moral boy. He has left in manuscript a pleasant account of his childhood days. " He was a ' spindling boy,' subject to frequent ill turns. He attend- ed school winter and summer ; the only branches studied were read- ing, spelling, arithmetic, and writing. His teacher was disposed to flatter him for his good spelling. Classed with those who were twice his height, he was required to stand on a low seat to bring him nearer to an equality. He loved play like other boys, but was not inclined to be mischievous ; was never feruled or whipped at school. " When seventeen years old, he procured a Latin grammar, and his 92 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. teacher told him to commit it to memory, so that he could repeat it all at once, which he did, and had most of it in his memory when eighty- four years old. He then took Corderius. At recitation he was^ re- quired to cover the translation, read the Latin, and translate it into English. Of what use his grammar was he knew not, as his teacher made no allusion to it. In this style he went through Corderius and ^sop's Fables. In arithmetic he became a 'mighty cipherer,' filling several large books with his operations ; but had he been asked why he carried one for every ten, more than for seven or eight, he could not have told. He was taught the how, but not the why. His teach- er was a graduate of Harvard. " About this time his father removed to Sedgwick, in the then district of Maine, where he was put under the tuition of Rev. Daniel Merrill, pastor of the Congregational church. Mr. Merrill set him to parsing, and this ' brought him up very short.' But he soon abandoned his Latin and went to work on the farm." In the autumn of 1798 some of his youthful associates became. in- terested in the subject of religion. "With shame," he says, " I have to confess that I felt sorry, and hoped they would relapse, that our seasons of youthful pleasure might not be interrupted. But, Oh ! the boundlessness of God's forgiving love ! that I was not utterly given up to walk in my own ways to endless perdition. God awakened my own mind to feel, in some measure, my need of a part in the salvation of the gospel. As a transgressor of God's law I felt that I was justly condemned. For several days a sense of my condition bowed me down. As one night I was attempting to pra,y, I thought I was wil- ling to renounce my sinful ways, and submit myself to God. The pas- sage, 'Whoso confesseth andforsaketh his sins shall find mercy,' came to my mind, and afforded me some relief. I had a calmness and peace of mind such as I had never before experienced., I was en- couraged to think that my heart had. been renewed. From time to time I have cherished the hope that, through the riches of divine grace in Christ Jesus, I shall finally be saved." He was admitted a mem- ber of the Congregational church in Sedgwick two days after he was twenty years old. The momentous question then came up, in what way he could most honor God, and be useful to his fellow men. The result was, a de- termination to resume his studies, with a view to the ministry. In September, 1802, he entered the junior class in Dartmouth col- lege, having pursued all his previous studies under the tuition of his pastor. The standard of qualifications for entering college at that time was low, and he considered himself poorly qualified for 'that. Of his college life, his classmate, Rev. G. T. Chapman, d.d., furnished the following testimony : He came to Dartmouth in the junior year, and his regular, mild, and sedate man" ner first attracted my attention. He sustained the character of a truly religious man to the close of his college life without spot or wrinkle. With such feelings it is not surprising that he was a close, diligent, and conscientious student, and that the bloom of his youth fully indicated the ripened fruits of his manhoocl and age His standing as a scholar was good, and on commencement day he had a part iti the Hebrew dialogue. Within the last few years I have met him several times at Newburyport, and the more I saw of him, the more I had reason to love him as a christian, and be proud of him as a son of Dartmouth. POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. 93 He graduated in August, 1804, and immediately after entered on a course of theological study, under the Rev. Dr. Burton, at Thetford, Vt. His estimate of the character of his instructor is given as fol- lows in the American Quarterly Register for May, 1838, page 333 : As an instructor in systematic theology, I give him a higher place, than any other man I have ever known. He had studied more intensely the operations of the hit- man mind than any other man in the circle of my acquaintance. The subject o£ moral agency w.is a theme on which he had bestowed immense thought. This gave a clearness, a depth, and comprehensiveness to his views which were very uncom- mon, and qualified him, in an eminent degree, to be an interesting and profitable instructor in divinity. His great excellency as a teacher of systematic divinity con- sisted in his talent to present divine truth in a manner unusually lucid, rational, comprehensive, convincing. His pupils never had occasion to inquire what he meant in any instruction which lie communicated. Other men might have views as profound, but rarely so distinct. He had followed so many minds, of such various structure, that he had become exceedingly familiar with the whole circle of truths comprised in a system of divinity, with the arguments, objections, answers, bear- ings, relations, etc., with the whole and with each particular part. The course of his instructions was admirably suited to develop the faculties of his pupils. He would make suggestions which would lead them to investigate for themselves ; they must depend upon their own resources. In this way the ideas and views which his pupils obtained were very much their own. Hence few, if any, who ever pursued a regular course of study under his instruction, ever changed materially the senti- ments which they embraced under his care. I have never known one. In June, 1805, he was "approbated" by the Orange Association, and preached his first sermon July 4, 1805, as a preparatory lecture for Rev. Sylvester Dana of Orford, N. H. He continued his. studies with Dr. Burton till October, usually preaching somewhere on the Sabbath. He says of himself at this time : " I had written but one sermon. As the association met only once in three months, the doctor advised me to present myself for examination at this time. The sermon which I read before the meeting was founded on John iii. 7. I find notes in my journal of this day, 'had some solemn reflections on the greatness of the work of the ministry. My own wickedness and ig- norance appeared so great that I felt almost ready to sink. How can such a stupid mortal be instrumental of good to the cause of Zion ! O that God would give me strength for the work ; felt somewhat de- jected.' July 4th, at the earnest solicitation of Rev. Sylvester Dana of Orford, N. H., preached my first sermon at his preparatory lecture. Was somewhat intimidated in reading the first Psalm and in the first prayer; delivered my discourse without much embarrassment. I have great reason to be humbled for my pride and stupidity. May God bless the seed sown. The Sabbath following, p.m., I preached the same sermon to the doctor's people in Thetford. Rev. Roswell Shurtleff, professor and preacher at Dartmouth college, insisted upon my preaching a Sabbath for him. Perhaps very imprudently, I con- sented. I wrote a discourse from Titus ii. 6, and on Lord's day, July 14th, preached my two sermons before the president, professors, tu- tors, and three classes with whom I had been a fellow-student. Pre- sumptuous as this was, I lived through it. " I returned, after purchasing a horse, saddle, and bridle in East Hanover, for which I gave my note for $80, and pursued my studies with Dr. Burton. The next Sabbath I preached at West Fairlee my two sermons, where there was some special interest in religion, par- 94 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. ticularly among the young people. Here I passed several days with interest and profit. The next Sabbath I preached all day for the doctor ; the next Lord's day I preached for Rev. Eden Burroughs, D.D., East Hanover, in whose family I had passed some months while connected with the college. The latter part of the week, in company with Mrs. Burton, who was in feeble health, commenced a journey across the Green mountains. Mrs. Burton being unable to travel on Saturday, we passed the Sabbath at Vershire, with Rev. Stephen Ful- ler, for whom I preached. On Monday we rode to Berlin. The doc- tor and Mr. Fuller overtook us ; passed the night at Rev. James Hobart's, Berlin ; Tuesday night we tarried at Waterbury. The next day at Essex an ecclesiastical council convened, and examined Mr. Asaph Morgan, who had been a fellow-student with me at Dr. Bur- ton's for a season. He had been a preacher before he came to the doctor's > but not being satisfied with the ' exercise scheme ' in which he had been instructed, and desiring to know more of the ' taste scheme,' he came, and having examined it, entered fully into it. "The next day, Thursday, Aug. 15th, the exercises of ordination were performed as follows: Introductory prayer, Jlev. Mr. Parker of Un- derbill, Dr. Burton preached from 2 Tim. iv. 2, Rev. S. Fuller of Vershire led in the consecrating prayer. Rev. Benjamin Wooster of Fairfield gave the charge, Rev. J. Hovey of Waterbury the right hand of fellowship, Rev. Mr. Kingsbury of Jericho offered the prayer by which Dea. Buel, who had been examined by the council, was or- dained to that office, Rev. Silas L. Bingham of New Haven gave the deacon his charge. Rev. Leonard Worcester of Peacham offered the concluding prayer. The next day went to Burlington, called on Pres- ident Saunders of the Vermont university. It had been said that the morals of this place were exceedingly corrupt. The president seemed very desirous to convince us that the morality of the place and of the college was rapidly improving. There was one college building, four stories high of brick, 160 by 75 feet. It stands about one mile from the margin of Burlington bay in Lake Champlain. The land rises gradually from the shore to the site of this edifice, which has ' an ele- vation of 330 feet above the surface of the water.' The view, from this building, of the lake, its islands, the lofty hills on its western shore in the state of New York, and the country in Canada, is very extensive, beautiful, and grand. It was delightful beyond all the scenery I had ever before seen. The following Sabbath I preached in Williston, eight miles from Burlington. Monday eve I preached a lecture at New Haven and tarried with the minister. Rev. S. L. Bing- ham. Tuesday, at Middlebury, was kindly entertained at Judge Painter's. The people about the college made provision, in their hos- pitality, to entertain all preachers of the gospel. Attended an exhi- bition of the Freshman class. Evening heard a genuine revival sermon from Rev. Mr. Preston of Rupert, from, Isa. xxxiii. 14. Wednesday attended the exercises of commencement. The ner- formances were creditable to the students and their instructors In the evening Rev. Martin Fuller of Royalton preached from 2 Tim iii. 15. Thursday, a.m., Rev. Mr. Fuller of Vershire preached froni Matt. xi. 28. Here was an atmosphere of piety. This college was not patronized by the state ; but God blessed it by frequent outpour- POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. 95 ings of his spirit and the conversion of many of the students. For a number of years no class passed through its whole course without a revival of religion. " The following three Sabbaths I preached in Sharon, Vt. I at- tended commencement at my Alma Mater, saw and visited many friends. For the first time saw and got upon the back of an elephant. On the 4th of September, 1805, preached my first funeral sermon at the funeral of Isaac Latham, in Sharon, text i Cor. vii. 29. Sept. nth attended the meeting of the Orange Association at Rev. Mr. Lambert's, Newbury, Vt. Present, Hon. N. Niles, Rev. Messrs. Burton, Fuller, Kellogg, Fitch, Carpenter, Sutherland, Smith, BHss, Dana, and Messrs. Calvin, Noble, and Jewell, students in the- ology; passed the, night in Haverhill, N. H. 13th, visited some friends in West Fairlee and preached a lecture. The next two Sab- bath's preached in Windsor, for Rev. Bancroft Fowler, who was or- dained there last May ; he was now absent on a journey. While here I formed some very pleasant acquaintances ; was present at a wed- ding; Judge Hunter administered the marriage covenant and called on me to make the prayers. Here I formed acquaintance with Rev. Andrew Law, a teacher and writer of music, a godly man, of whom Dr. Burton said, ' he was the only teacher of music I ever knew who thought.' His health failed while a preacher. 2Sth, was present with an ecclesiastical council called to ordain Mr. Ignatius Thompson over the Congregational church in Pomfret, Vt. They continued the ex- • amination about five hours, and were then about two hours by them- selves. They decided, with one exception, that they could not con- scientiously proceed to ordain him. He was, in regard to doctrines, both ignorant and heretical. " Preached the next Sabbath in Sharon, and the following one in Royalton, Oct. 6, 1805. The next day visited friends in Thetford. Wednesday I took leave of Dr. Burton's family, and especially of dear • Mrs. B., who is apparently on the verge of heaven in consumption. After calling on some friends in Hanover, I made my way down to Jaffrey, N. H., and visited my uncle Oliver Bacon's family. On the Sabbath, A.M. heard Rev. Laban Ainsworth preach from Jonah iv. 10, II ; P.M. I preached for him. Tuesday and Wednesday visited uncle Samuel Bacon's family, in company with cousin Mary Bacon, in Tem- pleton, Mass. Returned with cousin Mary to Jaffrey. Friday rode to Hollis, N. H., and called on Capt. William Tenney, a very estimable and beloved friend of my father. On my way to IBoxford, Mass., the next day, took tea with my classmate, Samuel Gile, at Rev. Jonathan French's, Andover, with whom Mr. G. was studying theology. Lord's day at Rowley, in my native parish; a.m. heard Rev. Mr. Williams of Linebrook preach from Ps. cxix. 45 ; p.m. I preached, and afterward attended the funeral of the wife of Mr. Asa Pingree. Passed the night with cousin Stephen Searle. Monday visited uncle Dr. Jacob Bacon's family, Salem. Called on Rev. Samuel Worcester. Wednes- day called on Rev. Jonathan Strong, Randolph, and passed the night with Rev. Samuel Niles, Abington. Next day visited uncle David Bacon's family, Plymouth, my mother's native place. Uncle being absent, concluded to remain over the Sabbath, contrary to my plan. 96 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. The next day called on Rev. Adoniram Judson, then pastor of a Con- gregational church there, and father of the celebrated Dr. Judson of the Burman mission. I preached for him three times. In the evening had an interview with my friend and classmate, Gile, who had preach- ed to the other church. Monday rode out with cousin Lucy Bacon to Manoraet pond and returned. My uncle is an irreligious man, and aunt is very melancholy. I passed Tuesday night with Rev. Ezra Weld, Braintree, of whom it has been said that he would have his cud and his pipe in his mouth, and his snuff in his nose at the same time. Next day called on my classmates, Ezekiel Webster and O. Fifield, in Boston, and passed through Cambridge to Salem. The next day was introduced to Rev. Eli Smith of Hollis, who insisted I should go and preach three Sabbaths at Dunstable, N. H. I was intending to pur- sue my journey to Sedgwick, as I had not visited my father's family for two years. "Went with Mr. Worcester, was introduced to Rev. Abiel Abbot and wife. Mr. W. preached a preparatory lecture for Mr. A., from Col. iii. I. This was the first ministerial intercourse they had had. Was then introduced to Rev. Joseph Emerson and wife and the famous Miss Hannah Adams. Evening I preached for Mr. W. in the tabernacle, Salem. The next day called on uncle Daniel Thurston, Ipswich, and passed the night at uncle Pearson's, Rowley. Saturday, in company with Rev. Caleb Jewett Teniiey of Newport, R. I;, and Dr. Muzzey, rode to Pelham, N. H. Went over to Dunstable on th? Sabbath and preached twice. Monday Mr. Tenney called, and we rode to his father's, Capt. Wm. Tenney's, Hollis. The next day I preached in Hollis p.m. and evening. Thursday, returned to Mr. Israel Hunt's, my boarding place. I preached here five Sabbaths and Thanksgiving. I preached also a preparatory lecture for Rev. Joshua Heywood, Dunstable, Mass., where I had an interview with Rev. Mr. Bullard of Pepperell, Mass. Rev. Joseph Kidder, former minister where I was preaching, gave me a very full account of his trials with the people, which was not suited to raise them in my estimation. But during the five Sabbaths I spent there, the congregation enlarged and there was increasing solemnity.* They would have me remain, but I 'longed after my father's house.' Whether I did right to leave them is an undecided question. Dec. 2d I passed the night at Bradford at Mr. Hasseltine's with my friend and classmate, Abraham Burnham, preceptor of the academy. I spent about two weeks in Rowley and Byfield, visiting friends, preached eight times and left for Sed°-wick Passed a night with Rev. S. Toombs of Newtown, whose wife was cousin Mehitable Searle— another with my friend and classmate Sea- ver, at Berwick, Me.; called on Rev. Pearson Thurston, Somersworth The following Sabbath was at Brunswick with Prof Cleaveland" Pres. McKeen requested me to preach, but I did not dare to • heard him all day and passed a night with him. Called on Rev. Eliphalet Gillet at Hallowell ; and reached uncle Samuel Redington's, Vassalborouffh Dec. 25th. I met here Rev. Alexander McLean, who on bein? told I was a preacher, says to me ; 'And do you preach the a:os pel ? ' I replied that I preached what I understood to be the o-osnel • preached in the evening. The next day rode with him to'^PjUer' POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. Q/ mo and heard him preach from Zech. xii. lo. Saturday 28th reached Frankfort and passed the Sabbath with my dear brother Richard. It was so rainy I preached but once. Wednesday, Jan. i, 1806, brother and I went to fatlier's at Sedgwick. I had not visited my father's family before since September, 1803. A great change had taken place in the minister, Rev. Daniel Merrill, and in the church of which I was a inember. The pastor had been immersed and re-ordained by a council of close communion Baptists, and a large majority of the church had gone with him. Nor is it owing to any want of earnest, persevering labors on his part that I am not a Baptist. He deemed it inconsistent to ask me to preach, but he came and heard me preach at severallectures. I remained at my father's about four weeks. Vis- ited many of my former acquaintances in Sedgwick, who received me cordially, though I did not become a Baptist. I preached about a dozen times in different neighborhoods. I then spent four weeks in the eastern part of Hancock and Washington counties, and preached twenty sermons. James Campbell, Esq., gave me a dollar, which was all I received for my labors, except some thanks. I passed a night at the house of a Mr. Archer, on the Narraguagus river, where he and his wife had become the parents of twenty-one children. She was truly ' a fruitful vine.' " On arriving at my father's, I found a letter from uncle Asa Red- ington of Waterville, inviting me to go there and preach. Saturday, March i, 1806, I reached Waterville at uncle Asa Redington's, father of Hon. Asa Redington of Augusta, and after of Lewiston, Me., and brother of my step-mother. The next day preached twice in a school- house to. small audiences. My letter informing them that I designed to be there had not been received. The audience appeared very Cold and dead. I preached the next Sabbath at West Waterville. Here and at the settlement on the river I preached alternately for nine Sabbaths and the annual fast. The religion, if there was any in the setdement on the river, was hidden. There was not a house in which family prayer was attended, nor a man who professed to be a regenerated fol- lower of the Lord Jesus. Nor did I find a woman among them who seemed like Mary, sitting at the feet of Jesus. I felt as though I had neither Aaron nor Hur to hold up my hands. In the west part of the town were a few pious Baptists. I may never forget my emotions as I was leaving the house of God an aged female took my hand and said, ' I trust I have got a few cr«mbs from my Master's table to-day.' Who or what she was I knew not ; afterward I was told she was a godly woman in the Baptist church. Her remark encouraged and strengthened my poor heart. Well, I thought, if by preaching I could feed one of God's dear children with a few crumbs of the bread of life, I did not live in vain. I preached twenty-eight sermons in Waterville, two in Fairfield, and two in Clinton. I visited but little in the settle- ment on the river ; the greater part of my time was required to write my sermons. "At my last lecture in Clinton, April 29th, I met Rev. Jotham Sew- all, of whom I had heard, but never before seen. I had agreed, with the divine permission, to be at Winthrop to preach the next Sabbath. Mr. Sewall rather urged me to go with him ; so the next day we rode 98 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. to Canaan ; in the evening I preaclied again. The next day we rode to Starks, where I was glad to meet Rev. Alexander McLean again. Here was a council called to settle some difficulties. Next day ac- companied Mr. Sewall to his home in Chesterville and ^preached in the evening. "Having preached nine Sabbaths in Waterville in March and April, 1806, having been invited to preach in Winthrop, went there in May, and preached most of the time till Feb. 18, 1807, when I was ordained pastor of the Congregational church." He was appointed by the Massachusetts Missionary Society, "a missionary for one year in the district of Maine." As the people in Winthrop seemed inclined to retain his services, by advice of neigh- boring ministers, he relinquished his mission. Nov. 3d he was pre- sented with a call from the church to become their pastor. This had been preceded by a day of fasting and prayer. The following day he was presented with a vote of concurrence by the town; and on the i8th of February, 1807, he was ordained. The officiating ministers were the Rev. Messrs. Asa Lyman of Bath ; Elijah Parish of Byfield, Mass. (who preached); Jonathan Powers of Penobscot; Eliphalet Gillet of Hallowell; Mighill Blood of Bucksport; and Kiah Bailey of Newcastle. The council hesitated somewhat on account of the inade- quacy of support, which was four hundred dollars a year, and four hundred dollars ''settlement," in accordance with a custom formerly prevailing in New England. But this was to be paid in annual in- stallments; in other words he was to receive five hundred dollars a year for four years, and four hundred dollars afterward. But having encouragement from the committees of the church and town that fur- ther provision should be made, they proceeded to ordain him. On Jan. ist, 1805, while with Dr. Burton, he commenced a journal, in which he made a daily entry of his situation and employments, and this he continued, without intermission, till seventeen days before his death. In his journal, as well as in his sermons, he used a system of stenography, invented by the Rev. Jonathan Fisher of Bluehill. For several years he was accustomed to sum up, at the end of every month, the labors of the month ; and at the end of the year the labors of the yesiT. The following summing up of the year 1812 may serve as a specimen : "During this year I have attended two meetings of associations, two of societies, three councils, three ordinations, two schools, four town meetings, four days of fasting and prayer, seven meetings of trustees, eight marriages, ten funerals, thirteen singing schools, forty-seven conferences, heard nineteen sermons, and preached one hundred and forty-seven; administered six baptisms, made eighty-three pastoral and fifty-two friendly visits, and three hundred and thirty calls ; have received ninety-three companies, and one hundred and forty-nine calls; have written twenty-two letters, and ridden fourteen hundred and sixty- four miles out of town. ■' rail^ad. ^^ ''^''""'''''^'^ '^'^^ ''^^^ "'^^''^^ i" those days was not done by In 1819 Mr. Thurston was unanimously elected professor of then! ogy, by the trustees of the "Maine Charity School," then located in POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. 99 Hampden, now better known as the Bangor theological seminary. He yielded to the unanimous wish of the church, and declined the appointment. His logical mind was early brought to a firm conviction of the in- herent sinfulness of slave-holding ; and he was a member of the con- vention at Philadelphia, at which the American Anti-slavery society was organized ; and though he mourned over the aberrations of some prorninent men in the cause, he firmly adhered to the principles of anti- slavery, and spent one year in advocating them, by lecturing through the state^his pulpit being supplied by the Rev. Daniel D. Tappan. IniSso he went as delegate from Maine to the Peace Congress at Frankfort, Germany, and visited a part of Wales, England, France, Switzerland, Germany, Prussia, and Belgium. He kept the records of the church himself, and made a careful en- try, not only of evfry business meeting, but every conference, specify- ing the topics that were discussed. In 1853 the trustees of Dartmouth college conferred on him the de- gree of doctor of divinity. He was an efficient member of most of the benevolent societies, and in 1859 was elected president of the American Missionary Associa- tion, and was annually re-elected till his death. He was a member of the board of overseers of Bowdoin college, a trustee of the Bangor theological seminary, of Hallowell and Monmouth academies for many years, and of the Maine Missionary Society for half a century. We copy still further from his journal : "I remained pastor of the church in Winthrop till Oct. 15th, 185 1, when, in compliance with my request, with the advice of an ecclesias- tical council, I was dismissed. I was induced to request a dismission, because some desired to have a younger man, and some were dissatis- fied with my anti-slavery course. I had conscientiously plead the cause of the enslaved, and had endeavored to act as I believed and prayed. I removed to Vassalborough, where I preached half of the time, and the other half was divided between the North Parish in Augusta and the Union house in Sidney. The year following I preached all the time in Vassalborough. "The next year till its close, Dec, 1854, I preached three-fourths of the time in Vassalborough, and one-fourth in Sidney. "In Jan., 1855, I removed to the East parish in Searsport. There a Congregational church, composed of members dismissed from the ist church in Searsport, of which my brother, Stephen Thurston, was pas- tor, was organized Sept. 19, 1855. In this parish are about forty families, and several young married couples who have not kept house, being much of the time absent at sea. Twenty-five captains of vessels now follow the seas. " My wife and I removed our relation from the church in Winthrop to the second church in Searsport March 9, 1856. I continued to preach in Searsport, enjoying highly the intercourse with my brother and family. The Maine Missionary Society not being able to assist the 2d church and the church at Sandy Point, without leaving some other feeble churches destitute, proposed that these two should unite in the support of a minister. Such an arrangement was accordingly lOO THURSTON GENEALOGIES. made. Not bein^ desirous of having the charge of two churches, 1 left Searsport the last of Dec, 1858, and being invited to preach a year in Litchfield, Kennebec county. Me., I began to preach there the third Sabbath in Jan., 1859, on a salary of $300. This church has few members and but little property. They are exemplary christians, large-hearted and liberal. It is doubtful whether any church in the state or country do more for the support of the gospel in proportion to their means. At the expiration of the year they extended a unani- mous invitation to me to preach for them another year. With this invitation I complied. " April 23, i860, having entered my eighty-second year last February, my wife and I left Litchfield for Goshen, N. H., to visit our oldest and youngest daughters ; May 8th returned to Portland. The loth son Samuel and I took tickets from Portland to Chicaap, 111. I paid $60 fare for both to go and return in thirty days. We left Portland twenty minutes before nine o'clock a.m.; Saturday a.m., at eight o'clock, we were in Detroit, Mich., eight hundred and fifty-eight miles from Port- land. We reached in the evening the residence of my second daugh- ter. Tuesday, 29th, at four a.m., left Adrian, and at forty minutes past eight P.M., Wednesday, was in Portland; at nine took a steamer for Boston, and at ten Thursday morning I was presiding at a meet- ing of the American Missionary Association in the Music hall, Boston. Friday evening left Boston in a steamer, and Saturday, four p.m., was at Litchfield. Through the great goodness of my heavenly Father, have passed, going and returning, about two thousand, two hundred and seventy-five miles, in good health, without any harm or casualty. Preached the next day, heard my class in the Sunday school, and at- tended monthly concert in the evening, and felt no more fatigue than usual." Mr. Thurston continued vigorous in body and mind, and remained in Litchfield, preaching his last sermon on the day of the National Fast, just after the assassination of President Lincoln, seventeen days before his death. The Creator dealt most kindly with him in endowing him with an assemblage of social affections, which eminently fitted him both to enjoy and to impart an unusual amount of happiness in the various relations of life. Few appreciated more highly, or enjoyed more keenly, the blessings of the conjugal and parental relations. His house was therefore the home of quietness and serene comfort. He had great pleasure in the society of his friends. He o-reeted them with warm cordiality, and entertained them with sincere" thou^-h un- pretentious, hospitality. ' ^ As a man of intellectual capacity, Mr. Thurston stood amon? the ablest men m the mmistry of Maine ; as a scholar, he took high rank in college ; as a theologian, he acquired so much reputation that sev- eral young men, even after theological seminaries were established chose to receive his private instruction in the study of divinitv ' As a preacher, he regarded the doctrines of the gospel as constitut ing its vital force, sheddmg light on its precepts, opening to view the path of life, unfolding the wondrous method of grace and sal t displaying the wisdom and matchless love of God in redemof "' POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. lOI teaching men what they must do, and what they must be, in order to gain eternal life, enforcing duty by the sublime fact of eternal retribu- tion both for saints and sinners. His manners in the pulpit were characterized by simplicity, solem- nity, earnestness, and an affectionate persuasiveness. He was utterly unpretentious. He stood erect in the calm simplicity of one charged with a message from God to immortal men, soon to enter upon their eternal retribution. As a pastor, he was kind, faithful, and sympathetic. He not only visited the people from house to house, but preached lectures on week days and evenings in the various parts of his parish very frequently. Among the leading elements of his christian character were rever- ence, conscientiousness, devoutness, and firmness of moral principle. His reverence was developed in all his intercourse with his Maker, in all his treatment of divine truth, and religious ordinances. In consci- entiousness, he would sooner have suffered the loss of all human fa- vor than the approbation of his own conscience. For the sake of preaching the gospel, he was willing to practice the most rigid econ- omy, and live on very humble fare. Notwithstanding his means were small, he gave a tenth of all his income in charity. Religious devoutness was one of his most marked characteristics. He must have communed much with the Father of Spirits, with things unseen 'and eternal, in order to have acquired such reverent facility and holy fervor in the privilege of prayer. He often seemed near the throne, as if in the presence chamber of the Most High. In no other way, probably, did he ever make so deep an impression on the minds of men, as by the prayers he was called upon to offer on some public occasions. I will mention two. In 183 1 he met the General Assembly of the. Presbyterian church in Philadelphia, as delegate from the Maine conference. It was a time of division and excitement in that church, regarding what was called new and old divinity; each party, very conscientiously no doubt, striving for the ascendency. In this meeting party spirit ran high, and discussions arose which gathered warmth. The session was stormy and tumultuous, and in the midst of one of their most excited pas- sages, the moderator arrested the regular business, and called upon the delegate from Maine to pray. He prayed, in melting strains, and with fervent desire, that God would calm those perturbed spirits, that those christian men and ministers might not, by unhallowed strife, give occasion to the wicked exultingly to exclaim: "Aha, aha, so would we have it." The assembly was melted, the excitement was allayed. It was as if the Master had said, "peace, be still, and there was a great calm." The public prints spoke much of that prayer and its effects ; and the Maine delegate was long remembered with pecu- liar interest. The other occasion was at the ordination of his nephew in Newbury, the Rev. John R. Thurston. Prof. Shepard, of blessed memory, preached one of his striking and impressive sermons ; the uncle of- fered the ordaining prayer. An intelligent hearer of that prayer gives his impression of it as follows : " The prayer was exceedingly appro- priate, solemn, pathetic, comprehensive, and minute ; touchmg every I02 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. department of labor and duty devolving upon a good minister; quot- ing some very beautiful and appropriate passages of Scripture. It seemed for the time that the heavens and earth were brought very near together, and a finite saint was in very deed communing with the infinite and holy God, and that he had brought all the audience up,_ or the Infinite down, to the blessed communion. I think the impression will never be obliterated from my mind and heart." The question of right, of duty, having been settled, he adhered to it with oaken firmness. His quick moral discernment carried him in advance of his times in regard to the evils to be reformed. Early did he become a laborer in the cause of temperance and of the oppressed. He remembered those in bonds as bound with them. Notwithstand- ing all he suffered in the cause of the oppressed, whether by his breth- ren in the ministry, or the church, or the baser sort, I never heard of a hard or unforgiving word he ever uttered respecting them. His forgiving love, his broad charity, covered a multitude of wrongs done to himself. Children of David and Prudence Thurston, all born in Winthrop : +1641 Eunice Farley,'' b. Nov. 19, 1812; m. Rev.

H. ; born there Jan. 11, 1784; married, Feb. 4, 181 1, Elizabeth Oilman. He died July 27, 1820; she died September, 1851. From various sources we gather the following interesting history of his short but eventful life : His mother was distinguished as well for her intellectual as moral qualities ; and though she died when he had only reached his tenth year, she had already done much to give per- manent direction to his character. At the age of fourteen he ven- tured to communicate to his father his wish that he might have the advantages of a collegiate education ; but his father, in consideration of his straitened worldly circumstances, felt obliged to deny his re- quest. By a subsequent marriage, however, his circumstances were improved ; and through the generosity of his new mother his desire for an education was gratified. He always retained the most grateful sense of her kindness, and delighted to think of her in connection with all the honorable usefulness to which he subsequently attained. In his sixteenth year he became a member of Atkinson academy, then a highly respectable institution, under the care of the Hon. John Vose. Here he was a most diligent and successful student, and when his instructor wrote to Dr. Wheelock, recommending him to college, he informed him that he had sent him an Addison. Of the commencement of his religious character the most that is POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. IO3 known is the following statement which he communicated to the friends who were standing around his death-bed : " During my sick- ness at Atkinson academy, about the time the fever formed a crisis, while in a state of partial delirium, I had a view of the happiness of heaven— I was gently led on to the portal and beheld a glory which I can never describe. I was then conducted to the gate of hell, where I had a view of the pit below. I fell asleep, and upon waking, thought I could not live. Greatly distressed in my mind, I called to my mother and asked her what I should do. When she counseled me and directed me, as my case required, I changed my position in the bed, and for the first time in my life attempted to pray. After this I had clear and impressive views of the Saviour, succeeded by great enjoyment, such as I had never experienced. I felt a desire to go to college and become a minister." He made a public profession of his faith when he was a tutor in college, and then joined the church in his native place. He graduated from Dartmouth in 1805. The year after his gradua- tion he spent as a private tutor in the family of Judge Paine of Wil- liamstown, Vt., and then, at the close of 1806, he was appointed to a tutorship in the college at which he had graduated. Here he re- mained till 1809, and, while discharging the duties of his office, he was pursuing a course of theological study in preparation for the ministry. Having been licensed to preach by the Grafton association, he re- signed his office as tutor, with a view to give himself solely to the duties of his profession. After a short time he received a call from the church in North Yarmouth,* Me. ; this call he accepted, and on his birthday, Jan. 11, 1810, he was set apart as their pastor. Scarcely had he entered on the duties of his pastorate before he was chosen professor of languages in Dartmouth college, but declined. During the five following years his influence was widely felt in favor both of learning and of religion. After the difficulty between President Wheelock and the trustees of Dartmouth college had commenced, and the trustees, acting on a pro- vision of the charter, had removed him from the presidency, Mr. Brown was appointed in his place, and was inaugurated Sept. 27, 1815. The controversy in the midst of which this occurred was a most agi- tating one, and just as it was at its height, and it seemed difficult to predict the issue, Mr. Brown was invited to the presidency of Hamil- ton college ; but he unhesitatingly declined the invitation, determined to stand by the college with which he was then connected and to share its fortunes, whatever they might be. The legislature passed an act enlarging the sphere of the college, adding to the number of the trustees, changing the name to Dart- mouth university, and giving the appointing power of teachers and officers to the governor and council. Under this act a treasurer was appointed. President Wheelock was reinstated, the college buildings, library, and apparatus were forcibly appropriated, thus turning out the original trustees and President Brown. The students generally adhered to President Brown, and temporary quarters were secured. *The present town of rarmoutli. I04 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. The trustees immediately sued the treasurer, before the superior court of New Hampshire, for the recovery of the property and were de- feated, the court sustaining the doings of the legislature. An appeal was at once made to the supreme court of the United States, and me case was argued before the full bench by Hon. Daniel Webster, ine action of the lower court was reversed, the trustees sustained, and a principle of law established, which has been recognized as the law ot the land ever since, in regard to all charitable institutions, colleges, academies, corporations, etc., viz., that all such institutions are chari- table and therefore private ; that the legislature cannot interfere, or make any change, without the consent of the trustees, unless such power is expressly reserved by the charter. Never has higher legal ability been brought to bear upon any question. On the side of the trustees were Jeremiah Smith, Jeremiah Mason, Danipl Webster, and Joseph Hopkinson. On the part of the treasurer, supported by the governor and council, were John Holmes, William Pinckney, and William Wirt. Rev. Henry Wood, in a sketch of his life, says : " It was charac- teristic of President Brown that he was always equal to any emergen- cy ; no call could be made upon his resources unhonored ; at a word, all the sleeping energies of his ipiind came up in their glowing beauty and just proportions, awakening the admiration and securing the con- fidence of timid friends, and overawing the presumption that ^Iready exulted in the overthrow of the college. Reluctantly given up by his people, he had only to touch again the soil of his native state, and move amid the eyes and ears of its citizens, to be admitted as that superior mind which Providence had raised up and kept, like Moses in the desert, for this very crisis. A certain dignity of person, alto- gether native and inimitable, made every one feel himself in the pres- ence of original greatness, in honoring which he also honored himself. Such were the conciliation and command belonging to his character that, from the first moment of his reappearance in his own state, the voice of detraction was silent ; whoever else was rebuked, he escaped, whom all conspired to honor. Judgment founded upon a clear and ready perception of things was a leading characteristic of his mind. Reason presided over and kept in subjection all the inferior powers; cool, investigating, cautious, the rigid discipline he maintained over his spirit allowed little indulgence for excitement of feeling, little play for the fervor of imagination. He so well understood the structure of our institutions, the power of legislatures, and the rights of cor- porate bodies secured by contract, he was so confident of success in the ultimate decision of the highest tribunal of the nation, that when others were disheartened he stood erect and fixed in his purpose. Never has a cause been litigated in our country more important from the principle to be established and the interests remotely involved ; the existence not only of this, but of all seminaries for education and of all corporate bodies whatever, was suspended upon the pres- ent decision. The permanence of all the institutions of our country, whether charitable, literary, or religious, and indeed the very charac- ter of the nation in its future stages were connected with this adjudi- cation upon a point of constitutional law." / POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. IO5 President Brown's labors proved too much for his physical consti- tution. Beside being almost constantly occupied during the week with his duties in the college, he preached nearly every Sabbath somewhere in the neighborhood, and his vacations were generally spent in traveling for the purpose of increasing the college funds. Soon after the Commencement of 1818 it became painfully apparent that he was the subject of pulmonary disease. His last effort in the pulpit was in Thetford, Vt., on the first Sabbath in October, 1818. In the fall of 1819 he traveled south as far as South Carolinar and Georgia, in the hope that he might be benefited by a milder climate ; but he returned in June, 1820, only to convince his friends as soon as they met him that he had come home to die. As he was unable to appear in public, he invited the senior class, as they were about to scatter at the beginning of their last vacation, to come to his house, and there, with a voice which was manifestly soon to be hushed in death, he addressed to them the most affectionate, appropriate, and weighty counsels, which were received with the warmest gratitude and deepest veneration. He lingered, in the most serene and cheerful submission to the divine will, until July 27, 1820, and then 'ascended with the words, "Glorious Redeemer, take my spirit," upon his lips. The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon him by both Williams and Hamilton colleges in 1819. Dr. Brown was commanding in his person, affable in his manners, and exceedingly dignified in his whole bearing. His mind was of a very high order, profound, comprehensive, z(fcd discriminating. His habits of study were liberal, patient, and eminently philosophical. His preaching was highly evangelical, in the best taste, and always in- structive and impressive. He presided over the college with great wisdom, dignity, and kindliness, and the students loved and honored him as a father. His whole character — intellectual, moral, christian — was beautiful. He published an address on Music, delivered before the Handel society of Dartmouth college, 1809; a sermon delivered at the ordi- nation ^f Allen Greeley, 1810; a sermon delivered on the occasion of the state fast appointed in consequence of the declaration of war with Great Britain, 1812; a sermon delivered before the Maine Missionary society, 1814; Calvin and Calvinism defended against cer- tain injurious representations, contained in a pamphlet entitled "A Sketch of the Life and Doctrine of the celebrated John Calvin " — of which the Rev. Martin Ruter claims to be the author — 1815 ; a reply to the Rev.

In 1832 removed to Bangor, and spent the remainder of his life in mercantile business. Early in life he experienced religion, and was instrumental in establishing a Congregational church in Frankfort, of which he became a deacon. He was a very hospitable man, and kept what was called in those days a " minister's tavern." Frankfort was a godless place when he settled there as a young man, and his life was so sober and correct that he was called deacon long before the office was conferred upon him.

Blodget's parents moved to Chelsea in his early childhood, where he remained till he was twenty-one, when he went to Bucksport, Me., into a store as clerk. In this capacity he served one year, and then became a partner in the business. He continued in trade, with several changes, until his death. He was an officer in the Congrega-' tional church for many years, and always interested in all religious and educational objects. He. was a public-spirited man, and helped forward, so far as he could, all matters of progress and improvement. He never spared any effort for the education and advancement of the members of his family. In all these departments he was thoroughly seconded and aided by his consort, and their lives have been filled with usefulness, as their house has always been the home of all in any way connected with the advancement of society and religion.

Greenleaf Greeley, a Methodist minister of Readfield, Me., a man of deep piety and much usefulness ; he died in Burke county, Ga., where he had gone for his health, Feb. 29, 1836. Hon. Ephraim Goodale was born in Worcester, Mass., Jan. 6, 1773; died May 25, 1858, aged 85. 'He married, Aug. 3, 1796, Mrs. Pru- dence Howard Willard (widow Haven), born in Milford, April 16, 1773, died Feb. 4, 1850, aged 76. They removed to Orrington, dis- trict of Maine, in 1803. He was a deist, and brought Payne's and Voltaire's works into that country, and made a business of publishing and selling books as well as of scientific farming. He supplied the first fruit trees planted in Penobscot county. In 1809 they were con- verted and joined the Methodist church in Orrington, Rev. Enoch Mudge, pastor. Notwithstanding his infidelity, he and his wife went ten miles on one occasion to attend a meeting, and were both awak- ened and rode home in perfect silence. Before retiring, they both knelt in prayer. The next day he burnt all his infidel works, and es- tablished a family altar, which ever after was sacredly maintained. They both left an excellent record, adorning their profession by a holy life. He was for many years one of the justices of the court of sessions, and of the same court under a new name in the county of Penobscot till 1835, when he resigned. Mr. Samuel Thurston was a merchant at Mill creek, Orrington, Me., for eleven years, till about 1831, where he accumulated a very hand- some property. He then moved to Brewer, a town on the opposite side of the Penobscot river from Bangor, where he kept store, built houses, dealt in lumber, and succeeded well till 1835, when he entered into the land speculation, which swept like a destructive tornado over all the northern part of New England, and lost all the accumulations of his past life. His wife was sick with consumption, soon after died, and with five young children he commenced life anew. In 1840 he moved to Bangor and pursued the lumber business the remainder of his days. Here, too, he met with many losses by fire and flood and business indorsements, which he bore with serene patience, never bringing his troubles into his house to depress his family. When he started in life, he determined to attain riches, and he had come almost to the realization of his wishes, when the disaster came which showed him that " it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps," but that the Lord directeth them for better ends than the mere attainment of wealth. The loss of his wife and his earthly posses- sions led him to consider those interests of a more enduring character, and he gave his heart to God, established a family altar, taught his I08 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. children, both by precept and example, to seek first the kingdorn of God and his righteousness. He gave his children a good education, sustained the mstitutions of society generally, and was a decided abo- litionist, when it was very unpopular to be one. He did not join the church till i860, when he was received into the Bangor Central church, at that time under the care of Prof. Shepard of the theological semi- nary. Through all his life he maintained an unblemished moral char- acter. All his children but one are members of some Congregational church.

Mr. Jolm Buck was a man of a genial and liappy nature. Tlie sup- port of his father's family largely devolved upon him, quite early in life, and he engaged in school teaching and fishing, sometimes taking fifty salmon from his weir at a single tide. He commenced business in Orland, Me., in 1823, as a trader, and increased his facilities as the place grew ; bought large tracts of timber land, built and equipped fishing vessels and coasters; was successful in his business, be- came one of the first men in the town, and offices of honor and trust were often conferred upon him. He was deacon of the Congrega- tional church in Orland from the time of its organization, Sept. 25, 1850, till his death. He was chiefly instrumental in forming the church and in building a house of worship. He was constantly doing good things that the world never heard of. He was a strong anti- slavery man and acted as conductor on the "under ground" railroad, during the years of the fugitive slave law, sheltering and helping many on their way to the Queen's dominions. He was heartily seconded by his companion in life in all social and benevolent matters, and their house was the common resort for all progressive minds, as well as relatives, who were all made to feel at home and happy in their munificent mansion.

Mr. Thurston joined the Congregational church in Bluehill, Me., under the pastoral charge of Rev. Jonathan Fisher, in 1816, at the age of nineteen, and had his mind turned toward the ministry. He studied nearly two years with his brother, David Thurston of Win- throp. By an imprudent use of his eyes there, they were so injured as to render a college course, which he i|pd contemplated, an impossi- bility. After more than a year spent in other employments, he en- tered Bangor theological seminary and graduated in 1825. He was ordained as pastor of the first church in Searsport Aug. 9, 1826, and remained there until^J|jt^,^Hj^i864, when he was elected to the office of secretary of the Maine Missionary Society, an office which he filled with great satisfaction to the churches till June, 1876, when failing no THURSTON GENEALOGIES. health induced him to resign. In 1856 he received the degree of doctor of divinity from Colby university. Since 18^ he has been a trustee of the Bangor theological seminary, and is now, 1879, presi- dent of the board. Since 1849 he has been a trustee of the Maine Missionary Society. He was abundantly blessed in his labors as pastor in Searsport. During the first two years one hundred and ten members were added to the church. Several seasons of refreshing were enjoyed between the years 1830 and 1839, in connection with some special efforts in the form of protracted meetings of four days' continuance. In 1840, without any special preparatory efforts, the Holy Spirit was poured out in a remarkable manner, moving powerfully the whole community. Ninety-nine were added to his church, besides large accessions to the Methodist church. Again in 1852 another revival brought fifty into the church ; and during the forty years of his ministry more than four hundred souls were gathered into the fold. Mr. Thurston is eminently social in his nature, and his relatives and friends can recall many happy and joyful seasons spent at his own cheerful fireside and at theirs. Particularly fraternal have been the relations between himself and his brothers and sisters. Many delight- ful social gatherings have given expression to the good will, kindliness of heart, social gratification and affection for each other, consecrated by a manifest trust and repose in the Father above, which have bound them together as with "hooks of steel." But the climax, the grand- est and best of all, was on the occasion of their golden wedding, June 5, 1877. Their children assembled at the homestead some days be- fore, and made extensive preparations for the reception of the wide circle of relatives and friends who had been some time previously in- vited. The mansion was a perfect bower of flowers and evergreen, arranged with skillful taste ; tables were loaded with substantial food and attractive condiments. In the afternoon the house was thronged with friends from the neighborhood coming to congratulate the happy pair on the occasion and leave their tokens of remembrance ; and every one who came was pressed to the table of refreshments. The evening was devoted to a social reunion of relatives, about fifty of whom were present, several coming fifteen hundred ■ miles to be there. The house and grounds were brilliantly illuminated and sweet music added her charm to the occasion. The blessing of Heaven was in- voked ; several poems written for the occasion were read ; appropriate and interesting remarks were made ; nearly a thousand dollars in gold and many valuable and beautiful keepsakes were presented ; and the; whole was of great interest, ever to be remembered with satisfactory pleasure by all who were present. Four sisters and one brother (one Ijrother only being absent, and he seventy-two years old), were present, whose united ages^ere 387 years. Two brothers of Mrs. Thurston and their wives, ai^ one sister were present, while others from New York and San Francisco were handsomely represented by generous gifts. As a preacher, he saw the great fundamental truths of the bible in a clear light, and feeling the indispensable need that others should see them as clearly, he was forcible and direct in his expositions and POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. Ill exhortations, often rising to an abandon of self, which greatly added force and power to the thoughts uttered. He was tenacious of the form of sound words, had no misgivings about preaching the whole truth, and never curtailed it to satisfy the timid. Prof. Enoch Pond, d.d., of Bangor theological seminary, says : " I have been intimately acquainted with Rev. Dr. Thurston for more than forty year*, nearly the whole of his long ministerial life. He has a clear head, an invincible conscience, and a warm heart. He has long been regarded as one of the most efficient and useful ministers of Maine. As a counselor, he is discreet, searching, and impartial ; as a pastor, he is watchful, sympathetic, and active, not neglecting the sick and the sorrowful, and especially those who are sorrowing for their sins. All this is evinced in his eminent pastoral success. His church, originally a small one, has, years ago, become three bands. "But it.is as a preacher that I wish particularly to speak of him. He is among the early graduates of the Bangor theological seminary, which he left previous to my connection with it. His theology is strictly of the New England type, following that of Hopkins and Em- mons. His sermons are lucidly planned, mostly doctrinal, and always instructive, and impressive because they are instructive. It is not his method to rely on a flow of words or gushes of strong feeling to make an impression, but on the point and weight of the truths he delivers. These truths, he well knows, are ' quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner ' and revealer 'of the thoughts and intents of the heart.' His chief reliance, so far as impression is concerned, has obviously been on this ' sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.' Strange that the reliance of any gospel minister should be on aught else. His ministry has been fruitful in conversions and revivals of religion. "Although he is very decided in what he believes to be the truth of God's word, he is not wanting in christian liberality — not that liberal- ity which regards the doctrines of religion as of small importance; which tells you with a sneer that ' Christianity is not a dogma, but a life ' — but that true liberality which is watchful over the religious rights of others, which accords to them the same liberality of thought and opinion which he claims for himself. " He has long sustained and honored the character of a reformer. He was an outspoken and persistent opponent of slavery during the long agitation of that subject in this country, and the same may be said of the cause of temperance, which has no firmer friend and advocate. " The regard in which he is held by the ministers and churches of Maine is evinced in the responsibilities which they have laid upon him. He was dismissed from his people several years ago, that he might become secretary and general agent of the Maine Missionary Society. He has long been a trustee of the Bangor theological senii- nary and is now president of the board. He is deservedly held in high estimation by a wide circle of christian friends and associates, and long may he be spared — a blessing both to himself and them." Rev. Luther Wiswall says : " My personal acquaintance with Dr. Thurston began in 1837. I was a member of the ministerial associa- tion of which he was the oldest and most trusted counselor. He was 112 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. a genial companion and a welcome guest in the families of surround- ing parishes. Asa preacher he was most acceptable; his written ser- mons were able, sound, pointed, easily understood, and delivered with fluency; but, to my apprehension, he excelled in his extemporaneous efforts, some of which I have never heard equaled as to matter and manner combined. As a pastor he was active, watchful, and very la- borious. His parish was territorially large in the first part of his ministry, as for many years past two other Congregational _ churches have existed in the territory which was originally embraced in his par- ish. He gave many week-day lectures in the outlying districts of his parish, and was a kind of missionary to all the feeble Congregational churches in the interior of Waldo county, and personally influential in creating several of them. The denomination in that county owes more to his labors and counsel than to those of any other man.

H. ; born there March 17, 1769; married, Oct. 9, 1791, Elizabeth Pea- body, daughter of Dr. Thomas and Elizabeth (Shaw) Peabody. Eliz- abeth Peabody's mother, Elizabetli, married Capt. James Thurston as his second wife. Rev. James died in Exeter Dec. 12, 1835 ; his wife died Oct. 15, 1845, aged 71. In 1783, at the age of fourteen, he entered Phillips academy, Exe- ter, which commenced that year under the care of William^ Wood- bridge, where he remained several years, and though very desirous of a collegiate course relinquished it in deference to his father's wishes, who desired to retain him nearer home. He taught school a year or two and then entered into business in Exeter, but soon removed to Boston to superintend the business of a very respectable firm, one of the partners being resident in England. In a few years he became interested in religion and returned to Exeter, and by the advice of friends entered the ministry, in which his efforts were everywhere dis- tinguished with remarkable success. He had numerous calls to settle, and in 1800 was ordained at Newmarket, N. H., where his labors were greatly blessed. The following notice we take from the Exeter News Letter, Dec. 29, 1835 : • "In 1805 he was engaged by the ' Piscataqua Missionary Society' to go as a missionary to parts of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Canada which were destitute of gospel instructors. The success which attended this mission may be learned from the ' Piscataqua Evangelical Magazine,' in the second volume of which may be found ' Extracts from the Rev. Mr. Thurston's Journal ' and other informa- tion on the subject. Twice afterward, once in 1806 and once in 1807, he was employed on a like mission. "In 1808 he received a call from the church and society in Man- chester, Mass., which he accepted, and was installed April 19, 1809. The sermon was by the venerable Dr. Buckminster of Portsmouth, N. H., charge by Rev. Mannasseh Cutler, ll.d., of Ipswich, Mass. Here again his labors were crowned with remarkable success. All former disputes and animosities were settled ; peace, union, and har- mony prevailed throughout the whole town, and the church was very much enlarged. This happiness and usefulness continued for many years ; but at length some who had joined the church stirred up strife and contention. After ineffectual attempts to restore union, an eccle- siastical council was called, and at the request of Mr. Thurston they recommended a separation. " Some abusive attacks upon his personal and ministerial character POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. 12$ induced Mr. Thurston, at the urgent solicitation of his friends, to ap- peal to the laws in his defense. His cause was argued by the Hon. Daniel Webster and Hon. Leverett Saltonstall, before Judge Ward, Judge Shaw, and Hon. Samuel Hoar. The defendants' counsel were W. Prescott, D. Cummins, and B. R. Nichols, Esq'rs. The result' was an award of ^1500 for damages to Mr. Thurston. ''He returned with his family to Exeter in 1820 and continued to reside there until his death ; but so much trouble and affliction had he been called to pass through that he gave up the intention of a re- settlement. He continued, however, to preach in destitute parishes in the vicinity as long as his strength and ability would permit. " To a sound judgment he united warmth of feeling, and to chris- tian mildness and candor a full share of energy and decision. That he was without faults we have no intention to say. He was ardently devoted to the ministerial office, bringing to it all the energies of his mind and heart ; and in his last years he lamented nothing so much as his inability to resume its duties. It was the object of his thoughts by day and by night. To his family he was devotedly attached, and willing to make any sacrifice for their good. In his pastoral office he was ready to undergo any hardship in discharge of his duties. " In his feelings he was truly catholic. He ever maintained a friendly intercourse with other denominations of christians and all who differed from him in sentiment. When the attempt ^as first made to draw lines of separation between the trinitarian and unita- rian Congregational ministers, he opposed it with his most strenuous efforts, though at that time his sentiments were trinitarian. The spirit of alienation and bitterness and exclusiveness he ever frowned upon. In the words of one who was many years with him in the ministerial office, ' Mr. Thurston was a man of a truly christian spirit.' " In the latter years of his life, by an earnest, unremitted, and prayerful study of the sacred scriptures, his religious views were changed, and he became a decided unitarian. In his last sickness he was calm and happy. He wished to live longer, if God's will were so, that he might be useful again in the world." Their children were : 2194 Mary,6b. Sept. 2, 1792; d.

During the last thirteen years he has been so disabled by rheumatism as to be unable to walk a step, still his mind is active and unclouded, and he maintains a lively interest m transpiring events throughout the world. He and his wife are living, 1879, with Mr. William Reade Peabody, who married their daughter Mary Elizabeth, and enjoy a pleasant and comfortable home. He was an independent thinker and a forcible preacher, ancl his sermons were always characterized by vigor, closeness, and original- ity of thought; were framed with a logical and pointed bearing and delivered with a natural, persuasive power. Mrs. Richardson is a woman of more than ordinary force of char- acter, as exhibited through all her life, by maintaining in the various societies where she has been located, and in her household affairs, that influence and energy that sustains and encourages a clergyman in his ofttimes perplexing and cheerless work ; and has tended to strengthen his hands and encourage his heart, while the people of his charge have been inspired by it to greater exertions and more self- denying efforts to increase religious interest and bring souls to Christ. She has always striven for the elevation and advancement of all with- in her influence. Though at one time suffering for several years with a disease which rendered it difficult for her to walk, and sometimes impossible, she maintained a cheerfulness and hopefulness of dispo- sition which rendered her society very attractive and her influence charming. For some years past, since her husband's illness, she has enjoyed remarkably good health.

Her gift was useful in promoting the culture of art in the places of her resi- dence. In the time she could withdraw from the cares of her family, she painted many landscapes and other pictures of much beauty and merit, which adorn her home and those of some of her friends. Mr. Thurston belonged to the first class which graduated from the Bangor city high school in 1837 ; graduated from Bowdoin college in 1841, and from the theological seminary, Bangor, in 1846.

Da- vid Thurston of Winthrop offered the ordaining prayer, Eliphalet Gil- let, D.D., of Hallowell, secretary of the Maine Missionary Society, gave the charge to the pastor, Rev. Eli Thurston of Hallowell gave the right hand, and Rev. Benjamin Tappan, d.d., of Augusta gave the address to the people. He was dismissed April 27, 1855, and became, acting pastor of the church at Chickopee Falls, Mass., where he re- mained three years. He was settled in Waltham, Mass., in 1858. Rev. Edward N. Kirk, d.d., of the Mt. Vernon church, Boston, preached the sermon. Rev. Isaac R. Worcester of Boston gave the charge, and Rev. George W. Field of the Salem street church, Bos- ton, the right hand.

Storrs, d.d., of Brooklyn, preaching the sermon; removed to New Haven in 1874 and preached for the sec- ond church in Fair Haven two years, and removed to Old Saybrook, Ct., Jan. I, 1877. He is a man of more than ordinary ability, and his ministry was accompanied in all these places with satisfactory results. He was the author of the prize essay on the " Error and Duty in re- gard to Slavery," published in 1857, and of the resolution passed by the Jubilee Convention in Chicago, 1870, which led to the founding of the National Council of Congregational Churches in Oberlin, Ohio, in 1871. Prof. William M. Barbour of Yale says of him, " He was held in high esteem by his ministerial brethren for his mental acumen and his scholarly attainments. Faithful in the pastorate, yet his chief place was the pulpit, where he excelled in the delivery of clear, ear- nest, and instructive thought. He was the sworn foe of slavery, and his preaching and writing contained weighty arguments and out- spoken denunciations of the national evil. He was and is still one of the most earnest reformers of rooted wrongs. After hearing some of his weighty deliverances, some of his parishioners have been heard to say, ' Mr. Thurston is a born statesman.' To condense the esti- mates of him drawn from his fields of labor, let him be known as one with his family's traits, ' a strong, clear, earnest teacher, an able and fearless defender of the christian faith, a kindly and cautious coun- selor, an upright and spotless man of God.'

He says, " It was my privilege to baptize the first convert among protestant christians in the province." He was one of the committee to trans- late the new testament into the Mandarin, and he prepared a hymn book for the use of the native christians. He has been a faithful and self-denying laborer in this field, being separated from his wife for several years. The climate of the low country not being suited to her, she came back to this country and remained till he removed to Peking, which is more elevated and salubrious. Rev. N. George Clark, d.d., secretary A. B. C. F. M., says : " Rev. Henry Blodget, D.D., is a man of superior intellectual gifts, of great singleness of purpose, and thoroughly consecrated to the cause of Christ. By his labors as a translator of the new testament into the Mandarin colloquial, in connection with missionaries of other socie- ties, he has helped lay the foundation of a christian literature for nearly half the population of the Chinese empire.

Thurston was an enterprising ship master, residing iri -ro land. He sailed from this port for more than thirty years, having tne charge of a vessel at the age of nineteen. He traversed the ocean to foreign ports some portion of every year during that time. _ was a skillful navigator, never having run his vessel ashore or carnea away a spar or yard. He was endowed with the finest and warmest sensibilities; with a keen, penetrating eye he observed at a glance a deficiency in the character of his ofhcers and crew ; and with an in- domitable resolution and courage, that governed and conquered and won for him their highest esteem. Few persons of his age have seen so much or so severe service. He never shrank from any duty ; wa^ brave, manly, courteous, open-hearted, and was highly esteemed for his sincerity and honesty. In the domestic relations he possessed those warm affections of the heart which adorn and beautify home. During the last year of his life he felt very sensibly that nothing but religion can fully satisfy the mind of man, and his heart was softened and his affections drawn to holy objects. While at Marseilles, France, Sept. 17, 1859, he was attacked by apoplexy; partially recov- ered, and as his wife and family were with him he set sail for New York on Oct. 24; had a second attack while in the Mediterranean, and some days later a third, from which he never recovered, though able to reach home. His widow is a woman of great energy of char- acter, mentally and physically ; and having no doubt been wronged in regard to some property left by her husband, has for several years past been infatuated with the idea that she was the owner of the United States and Great Britain, and has taken all the legal measures to gain possession, visiting the president at Washington and several governors of Maine and justices of the United States court, and has actually issued paper money, which she considers legal tender.

Point, and used it as a shelter by night until they had put up a aufficient garrison on land. The names of these emigi-ants are known to us only by tradition, which is in this case entirely reliable. They were John Larrabee. Henry Libby and three sons, Fine,t and Blood. These resided on the Neck, in the garrison they had built, and were, at least for a year, the only iahabitants of the town. . . . Fine Poiat received its name from Charles Pine, a famous hunter, whose residence was there, lie was celebrated for very many brave exploits with the Indiana. . . . During the eleven years of Queen Anne's war, the townsmen, or at least two of them, encountered parties of Indiana, and usually came ofE unharmed. The two referred to were Charles Pine and Richard Hanniwell, who earned the epithet of " Indian Killer." Both of these were distinguished iu their day as bitter enemies of the Indians, and often found oc- casion to show their hostility with terrible effect. One or two well authenticated traditions will serve to illustrate their peculiar mode of warfare and its consequences. At the time of the second settlement, an unfinished house, which had remained since the desertion of 1690, stood on Winnock's (Plummer's) Neck. This house became a sort of rendezvous for the In- dians, where they would occasionally meet and amuse themselves with howling and dancing. One spring, soon after the return of the inhabitants, Mr. Piae discovered that the saraeea were holding in this shell a series of nightly " powwows," and at once he determined to im- prove the occasion for a trial of his skill as a marksman. It was his rule to hunt Indians without any companions but two guns, which he was wont to discharge, one immediately after the other, when he fired from a covert. Taking his two guns he went out alone from the garrison early one afternoon, paddled his boat up the Nonsuch till he came near the house, and then, having hid it near the bank of the river, went into the deserted dwelling, got up amongst the beams, and silently awaited the result of his adventure. Soon after dark he heard the expected Indian whistle in the woods around him, and peeping out he saw nearly a score of savages coming toward the place of his concealment, which was at least three miles from the garrison, where the nearest aid was, in case the Indians should attack him. Pine, however, was not easily frightened, aud probably did not expect any more unfavorable result than that which happened. As the two foremost Indians were entering the doorway, he fired and killed them both, but before he could get ready his other gun, for a second discharge, the remaining savages were beyond danger from it. They did not even stop to see if their com- panions were killed. In an hour's time Pine was back in the garrison, examining the guns and ammunition of the victims. Such an occurrence was hardly out of the ordinary course of his life. But the anecdote of Pine, which used to be narrated with the greatest relish by the veterans of the past generation, is the following: The Indians were in the habit of show- ing themselves on the beach, between the Ferry and the Neck, aud amusing themselves by in- sulting and provoking the garrison, with the aid of certain significant attitudes and gestures. Pine, with Ms wonted readiness for such employment, volunteered to put a stop to this recre- ation. Charging the garrison not to allow the Indians to cut off his retreat, he went out on the beach one morning before day, and covered himself with rockweed, near the usual scene of the Indians' sport. After waiting patiently until the morning was well advanced, the In- ' dJans at length appeared and begun their sport. Presently an enormous fellow Btei)ped out from the crowd that he might be fairly seen, and, turning his back toward the garrison, ex- posed a part of his huge body, which, in the words of Pine, " shone like a glass bottle." The hunter immediately sent his bullet to the precise spot indicated by the Indian's hand. The astounded savages seized their falling comrade and rushed headlong into the woods, while Pine walked leisurely, back to the garrison, confident that there would be no more such exhi- bitions within sight of it, t Mr. Southgate thinks that this was Charles Pine without doubt, . but cannot prove it, who made the second settlement of Scarborough iu 1702. 196 THURSTON GENEALOGIKS.

In 1853 he was installed over the Allen street church in Cambridge, Mass., and re- signed, the following year. From 1855 he was stated supply in Lunen- burgh, Mass., till 1859, after which he was two years at Leicester, Mass. The state of his health unfitting him for ministerial duties, he became agent of the Massachusetts Temperance Society. After the war of the rebellion, he was sent by the Memorial Socie- ty to Wilmington, N. C, and for some months took charge of a school for freedmen. At a meeting of the Historical Society held at Boston Sept. 4, 1867, he read a paper on the condition of the south since the war of the rebellion, giving his own experience of seven months in Virginia, North and South Carolina.

He died April 9, 1851. Mr. Thurston was with his father in Peru on the farm till seventeen years of age, when an injury changed his plans for life. He fitted for college at the Maine Wesleyan seminary, Readfield, Me.; entered Dartmouth college in the Freshman class, and in 1840 left there and entered Bowdoin as a Sophomore, and graduated in 1843. He read law with Hon. P. Dunlap of Brunswick, Me., and practiced there till 1845, when he went to Burlington, then the territory of Iowa, and practiced' law and edited the Iowa Gazette, a leading democratic pa- per. The climate did not agree with him, and in the spring of 1847 he bought a team of five yokes of oxen, two cows, and a horse, took his wife and child three months old in a wagon, and with goad in hand drove that team two thousand four hundred miles, arriving in Salem, in the valley of the Willamette river, Oregon, Sept. 12, 1847. He established himself in the practice of law ; was elected the first representative to congress, from the territory of Oregon, in June, 1849, and on the 4th of August started for Washington, D. C, in a boat propelled by Indians on the Columbia river, and arrived in San Francisco on the i8th; left San Francisco Oct. ist, Panama 25th, and Chagres 29th, in the steamship Empire City, bound to New York, where he arrived Nov. i ith.

He died April 9, 185 1, on board the steamer California, on his way home, and was buried in Acapulco, Mexico. His remains were subsequently removed to Sa- lem, Oregon, and honored with a monument to his memory by the state. He was in all relations ambitious, resolute, and determined, fond of debate and vigorous in defense of his points. His 4th of July address of 1849 will be long remembered by those who heard it. He was kind to his friends and magnanimous to all ; a sincere christian, humble and earnest in the prayer-meeting as he was bold and defiant in debate. He made his way by hard and faithful work, attained suc- cess, and left an honored memory. His widow has since married the Hon. William H. Odell, who was one of the presidential electors of 1876.

Mr. Thurston was baptized by the name of Sampson Wilder Thurs- ton, named for the somewhat noted Sampson Vining Stoddard Wilder, who was once a resident of Bolton, Mass. The name was afterward changed to its present form by act of legislature. He was a merchant in Boston from 1825 for fifteen years, when he returned to Lancaster, 1840; moved to Lynn, Mass., 1857, and continued his mercan- tile life till 1872, when, having become largely interested in real estate, he retired from mercantile life. He was a man of influence in his native place, having been selectman, postmaster, and justice of the peace. From 1845 to 1855 he took a deep interest in political matters connected with the "American " party. He was nominated for congress by them, and was a member of their state and national conventions.

It was an amusing coincidence that the two having written, unknown to each other, the one in Chicago, the other in Lynn, story books in answer to an offer of three prizes for suitable Sunday-school books, by the American Unitarian Associa- tion, two of the prizes fell to them. Their names and residences being different, the awarders had little suspicion that two prizes went to the same family. 2345 John Spaulding Thurston" (Ji^oses^ Moses* Moses^ Stephen,^ Daniel''-^, eldest son of Moses ^ and Jane (Spaulding) Thurston of Orange, Vt. ; married Joanna Thurston, born Nov. 10, 1771.

During his boyhood he assisted his father upon the farm ; was edu- cated at the district school of his native town and at the academies of Bethel and Yarmouth, Me., and engaged in teaching. He was an ambitious boy and would never allow himself to be outdone, as an anecdote best illustrates. His brother far excelled hini in singing, do what he might, so at the age of fifteen he procured a violin and in six weeks' time was drawing the bow in the village choir to the ad- miration of the audience, and, as we imagine, somewhat to the aston- ishment of the staid adviser who told him in the beginning that if he could play psalm tunes in church in two years' time he would do well. This characteristic has followed him through all his pursuits to the present time and is one of the elements of his success. 234 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. At the age of twenty, with less than ten dollars in his purse, he went to Boston and met a dry goods merchant, who gave him employ- ment as clerk in his store. He served in that capacity for six years, to the entire satisfaction and confidence of his employers, as was evinced on more than one occasion, when he was sent into the coun- try with a large stock of goods to be disposed of in his own fashion. Through the encouragement of James M. Beebe, he with his broth- er opened a dry goods store on Hanover street, Boston, under the firm name of T. A. & H. G. Chapman. For seven years, here and on Tremont street, they prosecuted this business with but little suc- cess, except to establish a reputation for capacity and integrity; for with the commencement of their business they established the princi- ple, and conscientiously carried it out, of truthful representation. Observing the power of capital invested in the dry goods business in the East, he determined to make his future experiments in the West. In 1857 he went to Milwaukee, Wis., and with the assistance of C. F. Hovey Si Co. of Boston established himself in business on East Water street, under the name of Hasset & Chapman. IVIr. Hasset retired at the end of five years, and was succeeded by Mr. Charles Endicott, who remained three years, since which time Mr. Chapman has been alone. Having goods of good quality, selected with refined and educated taste, with system and good order in his establishment, never allowing the quality of his wares to be misrepresented, with the rule of one price, his patronage very soon exceeded his expectations. The city grew and rival houses rose, but he maintained his supremacy. In 1872 he built one of the largest dry goods houses in the north- west, on the corner of Wisconsin and Milwaukee streets, 50 by 240 feet, four stories, airy, cheerful, and perfect in every detail, affording every convenience to employe and patron. In 1878, finding his business still increasing and needing more room, he added another store of the same frontage as the one he built and connected it with the original structure, thus nearly doubling the business area. Al- though giving employment in his establishment to more persons, in- cluding their familes, than the entire population of his native town, the character of its head is felt in every member, and order and sys- tem prevail throughout. Mr. Chapman is a man who does his own thinking, is original and not a copyist, a man of positive convictions, despising cant in religion or anything else, and shows his character and ability more by what he does than by what he professes. He is sharp in trade when deal- ing with his peers, but was never known to take advantage of or op- press the poor or unfortunate. In his pursuit of wealth he has not been unmindful of the comfort and happiness of his employes and members of his family who have been less successful than himself, nor has he been wanting in public spirit. He contributes liberally to whatever measures are calculated . to promote the public welfare, whether physical, moral, or intellectual, recognizing no distinction of creed or opinion, being broad and liberal in his views. He is at- tracted by the discussion of great themes, and studies with enthusi- asm the works of God in nature ; logical in mind and in reason acute, not content with superficial knowledge of any subject, he goes to the root of the matter. His present influential position was not attained POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. 23S by chance or luck, but is the immediate and direct result of this same principle carried out in his business. System and good judgment characterize all his work, and his ster- ling integrity renders his credit " gilt edged," not only in this country, but in Europe. Other men may be worth more money, but no man stands higher as to reliability and promptness. His life illustrates the success an ambitious man of high moral aims may achieve in a good field by self-reliance, sound judgment, persevering industry, strict integrity, and a determination to know the reason of things. He is no pDlitician, desires no office, has always voted the republican ticket; was loyal during the rebellion and sent a substitute into the army; has accumulated a handsome competency; is highly respected by his fellow citizens, and if the moral and business sentiment of Milwaukee is marked by a higher and purer practice than the average of large cities, it is due as much to the example and inflfience of T. A. Chapman as to any other man in their midst. Mrs. Chapman is a woman of education, culture, refinement, and the highest social qualities. She is deservedly esteemed by the purest and best people in the city, and maintains a position of rare • elevation by natural dignity of character, intelligence, and true moral worth. The Milwaukee Sentinel of June 18, 1879, says: "Yesterday Mr. T. A. Chapman, the dry goods prince, left with his family for New York, whence they will sail on Saturday for Europe. Mr. Chapman will remain two months abroad, while his family will spend two years there. A large number of citizens wished the family a pleasant jour- ney. Mr. Chapman is one of the pioneers of enterprising business in Milwaukee. For more than twenty years he has been engaged in the dry goods business here, and in all that time has been known as the leading merchant of the city, notable for his honesty, kindness of heart, and for the credit he has made his establishment to Milwaukee. He has now the largest dry goods establishment in the northwest outside of Chicago, and even that city has no establishment which surpasses ' Chapman's ' in any important respect. There are few men as generous as Mr. Chapman, few in his line as successful, and none who have done more to elevate the name of their city. His friends all over the north\yest will unite in wishing him a delightful trip and a safe return."

She died in Minneapolis, Minn., August, i860. Mr. Thurston worked on the farm summers and went to school 238 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. winters till seventeen, when he went to sea, sailing to the West Indies and South America. In 1823 or 1824 he was shipwrecked in the schooner Mt. Vernon, Capt. Howell of Portland, in the port of St. Pierre, Martinique. He was then put on board the schooner Ram- bler, Capt. Andrews of Providence, R. I., by the American consul. She being short ofie man, he shipped as one of the crew at St. Bar- tholomews, went to Charleston, S. C, and from there to Havana. When within about twelve hours' sail of the Moro castle at Havana, they saw a sail in the mouth of a creek, which they suspected to be a pirate ; not a very pleasant discovery, as the motto of the pirates of those days was, " Dead men tell no tales," and whole crews were murderecl or made to walk a plank. They very soon found that their suspicions were well founded, as they saw that she was aiming to head them off. All sail was crowded on the Rambler, and the sails were wet to make them hold more wind, in order to escape. But the pirate was a fast sailer, a long, low, black craft, with one large gun amidships, and full of men. She kept gaining on the Rambler. It was a race for life. The mate went below and brought up sev- eral rusty old muskets, determined to sell his life as dearly as he could, but the captain, seeing the utter uselessness of resistance, laughed at him. There was a schooner ahead of them that they saw in the morning, and being a much poorer sailer than the Rambler, the latter had been gaining on her very much. The wake of this schooner was filled with the lumber that had composed her deck-loacl, and which was thrown over to lighten her. The pirate gained on the Rambler, till the crew of the latter could see the men on her decks, when a flash was seen, and a ball from her gun came whizzing over the deck, carrying terror to their hearts. They thought their time had come, and gave up all hope. The shot did no harm to the Ram- bler, falling in the sea beyond, but the charge set fire to one of the sails of the pirate, making a large hole in it and impeding her pro- gress very much. As they were now nearing the castle, the pirate, probably fearing that some man of war might be in the harbor, did not keep up the chase much longer, but hauled on the wind. Their deliverance seemed to them almost miraculous. He resided in Portland, Me., and went mate of the brig " Fountain," under Capt. Samuel Waterhouse ; left the sea at the age of twenty- four and worked three or four years rigging vessels. P"rom 1830 to 1840 was employed by Daniel Winslow in packing meats and in the retail trade, having the charge of the latter several years, till he went into the retail meat trade for himself. He at one time kept an eating house in company with Daniel Gill ; was a member of the common council one term, In 1855 he went to Lakeville, Minn., and took one hundred and sixty acres of wild prairie, from which, althouo-h on the top of a high ridge, and commanding a view of from two" to forty miles, not a single house, fence, or building could be seen. In 1868 he sold his farm, and has since lived with his eldest son in Farmino- ton, Minn., assisting him in the drug business. He has been warden of the Episcopal church there since its organization ; has lived to see the prairie subdued and dotted over with comfortable hjuses fine barns, thriving villages, and railroads, and is now, 1880, active capable of business, and enjoys life.

He was in Napoleon's army through the Russian campaign, and witnes.sed the burning of Moscow; married Loniae Marx, of his native, placp, and came to the United States in 1838, and died Feb. 18, 1878. Their daughter: VIII. Louise ton Bauer, born in Goelheim about 1812; married Franz Mosbaugh, born near the same place 1809. They came to the United States in 1838, and settled in Cam- bridge City, Ind., a pioneer, and died 1834. Their daughter: IX.

His father, Carl, was also an officer, well educated, and a very handsome man. His son avers that he was, at least, seven feet In height. The Prince of Nassau was required to send to the King of Holland a certain number of the finest looking officers and soldiers in the realm. Carl von Bauer was chosen as one of these otSoers. He went to Holland, and in his official capacity trequpntly went to the Castle at Hague, to carry orders to the Admiral, Jean van Kruyne. It was when he was ou one of these errands that he first saw the Admiral's beauti- ful d.aughter, Helene Bernardina. It was said that she was so fair and delicate that the blood could be seen coursing in the veins underneath her skin. When their eyes first met, it was a case of love at first ►ight, mutual, deep and strong. But there were obstacles in the way of a full and free expression of it. His position, that of a minor officer in the army, prohibited his approaching her on her own level in society. However, they contrived to open a corre- spondence, which was carried on by means of a long cord, to which the letters were secured, let down from the window in the apartments of the castle, occupied by the fair Helene It would have been very difficilt for him to have succeeded, but from the fact of his beina an officer having enabled him to make friends with the guards about the castle This state of things continued for some time, but the lovers longed for a closer companionshio. and as no other way seemed to present itself, an elopement was decided upon Arrangenients were made with this end in view, colleagues were secured, and a rone ladder provided. Everything was in readiness at the time appointed, and the brave Carl and his as- sistants assembled under the window of the ilair one. She let down the cord that had served POSTERITY OF DANIEL THURSTON. 257 Ind., March 28, 1843, daughter of Franz and Louise (Bauer) Mos- baugh, from Germany. Mr. Thurston received a common school education, learned the trade of a machinist in Portland, went to Lakeville, Minn., in 1855, took land adjoining that of his father's, made a farm of it, and carried it on until the war of the rebellion broke out; enlisted Oct., 1861, in the 4th Minnesota infantry, was at the front at luka, Miss., the sec- ond battle at Corinth, following the troops in the other battles of that campaign in the quartermaster's department. Was after quartermas- ter-sergeant, ist lieutenant, and adjutant of the 49th U. S. colored infantry. Resigning this, was chief head clerk of quartermaster's de- partment in 4th division, 17th army corps, on the march from "Atlanta to the sea." Sold his farm in 1868, and went into the drug business in Farmington, Minn., where he still continues, 1879. He barely es- caped death in a railway accident in Dec, 1876. Is a communi- cant in the church of the Advent, Episcopal, and clerk of the vestry. His children by first wife, Ellen Matilda, born in Lakeville, were : 5326 Mary Louise,^ b. Sept. 30, 1859; d.

Second, June 14, 1864, Augusta Lowell Libbey. Mr. Thurston learned the carpenter's trade of Horace B. Richards of Portland, Me., and labored in Portland and other places ; but now, 1879, i^ owner and operator of a lumber mill in North Saco, Me. herao well before; this was fastened to the ladder, which was drawn up and secured, but found to be too short. Here waa a dilemma, but love overcomes the greatest obstacles, and something was procured, from the top of which von Bauer could reach the ladder, which he then ascended. As Helene was about to join her lover, a little sister, wltb whom she slept, awoke, and began to cry. She was quieted, however, by the gift of a pear by Helene, and waa soon asleep again. A last, long look, and a farewell kiss, and then Helene placed herself in her lover's arms, who was waiting for her at the window. Then commenced the long and perilous descent, which was safely accomplished, and the precious burden safely landed on terra firma. Their troubles were not at an end here, however, as pursuit would be certain, as soon as the flight was discovered, and Carl's life would be of^ little value if overtaken before he reached the river Rhine, eight miles distant, after crossing which he would be comparatively safe for a while. They had to cross a canal, and here the rope ladder again served them a good turn. As it would not be safe for them to travel with horses, they walked, following unfre- quented paths. 'While resting in a clump of bushes, they heard their pursuers coming, and saw them pass, without being discovered. They finally reached their destination, and the nup- tials were performed. The King issued a decree, commanding whoever should discover von Bauer in his realm, to deliver him dead or alive, to him. Now he was discovered by the Prince of Nassau, who, instead of delivering him to the King, advised him to become a recruiting oflicer for Prussia (he may have remembered the quicksilver mines), which advice was taken and acted upon, thereby securing him from farther molestation, as any interference after this might have made trouble between Prussia and Holland. _ ^ Of course Helene was disowned by her relatives, but herson George, and hts sister, visited, after the death of their mother, their aunt (she to whom the pear was given), at Hague, who frequently took them to the King's castle, which was on the opposite side of the street from her residence, where on one occasion they dined with Queen victoria, who was visiting there, and which circumstance the old gentleman took great pride in relating. Carl died in 1796, when George was but four years old. 17 258 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. His children, by first wife, Hannah : 5335 Charles Lincoln,^ b. May 10, 1854; m.

POSTERITY OF EDWARD THURSTON. 261 Posterity of Edward Thurston. It gives the present compiler great pleasure to say that the work on this family, from 1647 to 1866, was most thoroughly and patiently wrought out by Mr. Charles Myric)(Thurston of New Rochelle, N. Y., and published in a pamphlet of seventy pages. Since that time he continued industriously to gather materials for perfecting his previous work, and to bring the records down, till the day of his sudden death, June 3, 1878. After the decease of Mr. Thurston, the result of his labors was transferred to the writer, who previously had much communication with him, to arrange for this volume. Persist- ent correspondence and searching of town and county records on the part of both, have resulted in bringing together a mass of facts and dates which will be valuable for future reference. iFtrjst ©feneration. 5501 Edward Thurston ^ was the first of the name in the Colony of Rhode Island. He must have been there some time previous to 1647, sufficient, at least, to attend to the preliminaries of his marriage, which occurred June, 1647, to Elizabeth Mott, daughter of Adam Mott,* and is the third on the record of the " Society of Friends," at Newport.f He is mentioned in the colonial records as a freeman in 1655 ; as commissioner, assistant, and deputy from Newport for many years, from 1663 to 1690. On August 26, 1686, he, with others, signed an address from the Quakers of Rhode Island, to the king. He died March i, 1707, aged 90; she died Sept. 2, 1694, aged 67. His will, two fragments of which only remain, was made Jan. 11, 1704, and proved March 12, 1707; and on these he names his grandson Ed- ward, the son of his son Edward ; his four surviving sons, Jonathan, Daniel, Samuel and Thomas ; his granddaughter, Elizabeth, the daughter of Jonathan ; his sons-in-law, Weston Clarke and Ebenezer Slocum,t and two granddaughters named Slocum. *Adam Mott, aged thirty-nine, from Cambridge, England, bis second wife, Sarah, aged thirty-one years, four children of Adam, by a former wife, and Mary Lett, a daughter of Sa- rah, by a former husband, were passengers from London for New England, in the " Defence," in July, 1634.

He says: "June 6, 1S61, I enlisted for three years in the 2d Rhode Island regiment, Capt. Charles Turner. July 21st we fought our first battle at Bull Run, lost our colonel, major, and about three hundred men. The regiment held the battle field forty-five minutes before assist- ance came. I was in ten other battles, the last one Antietara, which lasted eight hours. I was wounded in the leg, and lay on the battle field three days and four nights with only four apples, two of which x gave to a wounded confederate, who lay beside me and afterward refused me a drink of cold water. I crept to the woods and made me crutches, and traveled four miles to a confederate tobacco house, where I was al- lowed to stay for a week, when a union ambulance came along and took me to Maryland, and from there to Washington hospital. I was allowed a furlough of three months. On my return to Washington hospital I was transferred to the 9th regiment veteran reserve corps, doing garrison duty around the outskirts of Washington. The Mosby Guerrillas were working their way toward Philadelphia, and we were ordered to intercept them. We traveled for seven days behind them. Just before we reached Harrisburgh we had a skirmish, which resulted in our having nine killed and thirty wounded. From there we went to Philadelphia and back to Washington, where we were assigned to guard rebel prisoners. The greatest battle I fought in during the war was in front of Richmond, Va., seven days and seven nights continuous fighting; heavy loss of life on both sides. Part of the time we had to lie on our faces while the batteries fired over us. The cries of the wounded and dying were heart- rending." Children: 6545 James Henry^ b.

Mr. Thurston was in the navy in the war of 1812, in the vessel that took the British ship Nimrod, at Portsmouth, when thirteen years of age. He followed the sea for some years, and after became a steam engine manufacturer, at one time in company with his broth- er Robert Lawton ; withdrew from this compaoy to go to the West Indies to set up steam engines. He run the Spanish steamer Alman- dar between Havana and Matanzas, taking her to Providence once to put in a new engine. This steamer was wrecked, lying at the wharf, in the hurricane of 1844, after which he returned to Providence. He was a very active and resolute business man till about 1864, after which time he was unable to do any labor. Children, born in Portsmouth : 6750 Elizabeth Lawton,' b. Dec. 23, 1823; m.

" He* was one of the few intelligent, far seeing, and enterprising men, whose energy and capacity, a half century and more ago, devel- oped successfully the long latent power of steam and applied it to navigation, to railroad transportation, to driving the spindle and the loom, and to the thousand purposes now so familiar to us. He de- veloped an extraordinary talent as a mechanic at an early age, and ♦Extract from Providence Daily Jouvual, Jan. 21, 1874. 187 0- POSTERITY OF EDWARD THURSTON. 305 immediately upon attaining his majority, commenced learning the trade of a machinist with Pelham & Walcott. Eight months later he had acquired sufficient skill to attract the attention of John Babcock, sen., a distinguished mechanic, who was then actively aiding in the introduction of cotton and woolen manufactures, and who was well known as an accomplished engineer and an inventor. "These two mechanics completed an experimental steam engine, with its 'newly invented and most excellent' safety tubular boiler, as it would be called to-day, which was placed in a small ferry-boat de- signed for use near Fall River. The performance of this craft was sufficiently satisfactory to encourage the inventors to try again, and the ' Rushlight ' and the ' Babcock,' subsequently built, were compar- atively large craft. They created a sensation only equalled by the excitement attending the voyages of the ' Clermont ' or the trial trips of John Stevens' boats. " Subsequently to a journey to the South, to seek business and to study the country, Mr. Thurston was employed by the ' Iron Compa- ny' of Fall River, while building the old Annawan mill. John Bab- cock died in 1827, leaving a son John, who inherited fully his father's engineering ability, business capacity, and remarkable energy. "Mr. Thurston came to Providence in 1830, and with young Bab- cock succeeded so well that in 1834 they commenced business, start- ing the first steam engine building establishment in New England, or, with two exceptions, in the United States. The company then formed was known as the Providence Steam Engine Company. " Mr. Babcock's health failed and he was compelled to give up business. The firm of Robert L. Thurston & Co. was formed in 1838, and in 1845, by other changes, it became Thurston, Greene & Co. Just before this latter change a terrible boiler explosion de- stroyed the buildings and seriously crippled the resources of the com- pany. The friends of the proprietors came promptly to the rescue, however, and the establishment was soon in working order again. "A few months after the formation of the new company a fire broke out in an adjoining establishment, and communicated to their just rebuilt works, sweeping them away. Hardly was the fire fairly extinguished, however, when workmen were sent among the ruins, and preparations were made for rebuilding. Mr. Greene went to Eu- rope to purchase new machinery; Mr. Gardner, the financier of the firm, skillfully and promptly obtained all necessary capital, and Mr. Thurston attended to the work of reconstruction. The new buildings were rapidly built, the new machinery was put in place, and work was resumed. The long machine shop then built still remains, forming a part of the large building now occupied by the successors of the old firm. " Thurston, Greene & Co. purchased the Sickles patent for the ' drop cut-off ' for steam engines, and were the first manufacturers, either in America or in Europe, who ever built a standard form of ex- pansive steam engine. They were the pioneers in the introduction of the modern steam engine, and Mr. Thurston was accustomed to relate many anecdotes illustrating the difficulties attending the in- troduction of new devices, even when embodying acknowledged eco- 20 306 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. nomical principles and sustained by ample evidence of efficiency gathered from actual experience. To-day the whole engineering world is following in the track then beaten with so much difficulty, and but few, even in the profession, know to whom we are so greatly indebted. " For a long time this firm, and Thurston, Gardner & Co., who suc- ceeded them in 1854, were engaged in litigation with George H. Cor- liss, against whom they brought suit for infringement of the Sickles patent. This series of trials — Sickles et alvs. Corliss — was one of the most noted cases ever brought into court. The greatest engineers and the ablest patent lawyers of the country were engaged. Among the counsel employed were William H. Seward, Judge Curtis, Charles H. Keller, Mr. Stoughton, and our distinguished townsman, Benjamin F. Thurston; and among the experts were the brothers Renwick, Charles W. Copeland, and others well known to our citizens. After several decisions favorable to the plaintiffs, the late Judge Nelson, on a final appeal, reversed the decisions of the lower courts, and the contest came to an end, after a long and obstinate struggle, in which both parties expended a vast amount of time, talent, and money. " During this interval Mr. Greene invented the well known ' Greene Engine,' and the manufacture was at once commenced by Thurston, Gardner & Co., and their successors, the Providence Steam Engine Company, still continue to build this, which was claimed by Mr. Thurston, and is now claimed by many engineers, to be the best of the modern steam engines. "At the commencement of the war of the rebellion business became universally depressed, and the manufacture of steam engines almost entirely ceased. Southern debtors, of whom there was a long list on the books of the firm, very generally either failed entirely or took ad- vantage of the unsettled state of affairs and refused to pay their notes. Mr. Thurston was getting advanced in years and his health was beicoming enfeebled. His oldest son, who had been educated carefully in the college and in the workshops and drawing rooms, with a view to following the business, had accepted a commission in the Naval Engineer Corps, with the expressed intention of remaining until the end of a possibly long contest, and the younger son had chosen another branch of the profession of engineering. Discour- aged at last, and in despair of retrieving his lost fortunes, he surren- dered his interest, and, with no other reward for his long years of active life, of industry and enterprise, than a clear conscience, pleas- ant memories of benefits conferred upon others, and the reminis- cences of the successful enterprises of earlier times, retired from business. At the formal dissolution of the copartnership in August, 1863, the establishment was purchased by the Providence Steam En- gine Company, a new corporation, which had assumed the title of the earliest of the companies with which Mr. Thurston had been con- nected. " The health of Mr. Thurston failed rapidly as soon as he attempt- ed to give up all the business habits which had been formed during this long period, and both necessity and inclination soon drove him back into the old customs. During the succeeding ten years, and POSTERITY OF, EDWARD THURSTON. 307 until a few days before his death, when health permitted, he went as regularly to the shop, and took as much interest in the work going on, asif he still retained his former connection with the establishment. His health steadily failed, however, and finally an attack of pneu- monia caused his death, Jan. 13, 1874, after but four days' illness. He died without either acute pain or mental disturbance, his last sleep coming upon him like slumber to' a tired child. " Throughout his life his benevolence, his uniform kindness to em- ployes and to all with whom he came in contact, and his strong at- tachment to his friends, made him as universally beloved as he was widely known. In his own family and among his near relatives his kindness of heart, and the depth of affectionate feeling which distin- guished his character, inspired a degree of reciprocal affection which is rarely found under most favoring circumstances. , His religious sentiments were strongly colored by the beliefs of the society of Friends ; but he had during the last years of his life been a regular attendant at the services of the Congregational church, of which his wife was a member."

Phoenix-like, from its own ashes, and its members honored and revered by the great and good of the country ; and whereas, he has been cut down in the fullness of his years; therefore, " Resolved, That we, as members of the lodge whose existence our deceased brother perpetuated, when others faltered and fell back, and whose loss we now deplore, do hereby express our heart-felt sympathy with those of his family who survive him, and mingle our tears with theirs ; and that the lodge shall be draped with mourning for thirty days.

( William^ Wil- liam,^ Joseph^ Samuel^ Edward'^), brother of the preceding, and son of William '' and Ruth C. (Easton) Thurston of Middletown, R. I.; born there October, 1826; married, Feb. 5, 1862, Mary Ann Sid- DALL of Madison, Ind. He died at Delavan, 111., June 4, 1870. Mr. Thurston graduated from Amherst 1852. He studied with Rev. Thatcher Thayer for about one year in Newport, and then went with him to Europe, where he remained fifteen months, prosecuting his studies preparatory to college, being most of that time at Geneva. After leaving college he attempted to study for the ministry, but his health would not permit, and he associated himself with Jared Reid, jr., in opening a school for boys in Newport. Finding himself, after two years, unable to bear the confinement, he removed in the autumn of 1859 to a farm in Delavan, 111., and remained there until May, 1868, when he went to New York as auditor in the New York, Dela- ware & Hudson Canal Co. In that situation he continued a year and then went to Grand Tower, 111., as cashier in a manufacturing and coal company. He there contracted a malarial fever, which left him with chronic diarrhea, of which he died in Delavan, June 4, 1870. Rev. T. Thayer, d.d., says of him : " There are few characters whose memory is cherished with so much affection and respect by those who knew him longest and best as Benjamin Thurston. A conscientious student, he faithfully improved his various opportunites, and entered upon life with a well-informed mind and a strong, clear judgment. His moral qualities were of the highest order. All who came in contact with him will bear record of this. His was a rare in- tegrity. Thoroughly proved, it commanded unwavering confidence. An intense abhorrence of all show and pretence marked him from his earliest years, and his simple, truthful, loyal spirit appeared in all his intercourse. Plain in manners, loving strongly, and ever ready for kindness, he was beloved and respected in every relation of life. Descended from a Moravian ancestry, he early yielded his heart to the Saviour, and served his Master in simplicity ^and godly sincerity. This testimony is given by one with whom he spent a long time in closest intimacy, and who knew his worth, but it is given with the as- surance that none of his large acquaintance will think it exaggerated."

I. ; born there July ii, 1819; married, April 16, 1843, Caroline Marsh, born Jan. 25, 1823, daughter of Col. Benjamin and Catharine (Casttoff) [formerly Guesthoff of Germany] Mars-h of Newport. Mr. Marsh is a member and deacon of the Baptist church. Mr. Thurston died June 3, 1878. No children. Mr. Thurston was a merchant in New York city ; retired from busi- ness 1856, and removed to New Rochelle ; was the first president of the village of New Rochelle, and has held office in Trinity (Episcopal) church, and acted in many positions of trust and public improvements in the village government. He was elected a member of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin in 1869, and was a corresponding mem- ber of the Rhode Island and several other State Historical Societies. He was very deeply interested in the genealogy of his ancestry, and with great labor gathered and published a pamphlet of seventy pages, of the descendents of Edward Thurston of Newport, in 1868, and thus made it possible for the compiler of this volume to make the early records of these families as full and complete as found in these pages. He also assisted me very much during my three years' labor upon this work before his death, and his widow has kindly rendered very essential aid since. A local paper says : " Suddenly, like a shaft from heaven, came the summons which called him from time to eternity, and as the sad news flew from house to house in the neighborhood and through the village, one note of sorrow arose. The silent tears coursing down the furrowed cheek mingled with the sobs of the little children, for each felt they had lost a friend. One remembered the bright smile he had given them, another the sweet tones of his rich voice as he had joined them in songs of praise; a third, some wise and gentle counsel, again helpful words of cheer, and each and all felt that to them the voice was hushed forever. What truer test of a pure and unblemished life could be offered than this universal testimony of old and young, rich and poor. There is scarcely one among us whose good influence in the community was more generally recognized and whose loss will be more sincerely mourned. Not being in active business, he found occupation in beautifying and adorning the grounds around his residence on Lather's Hill, had especially endeared him- self to those around him, and when the 'silver cord was loosened' he was even then planting flowers, which will spring up and blossom long after in the places that will know him no more, as his kind words and pure life will blossom forever in the hearts of all who knew him, as one whom ' the beauty of the Lord was upon.' In the words of one of his favorite hymns, he was ' sowing the seed by the daylight 326 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. fair,' and we cannot but be sure as to what the harvest will be; for had he known the day and the hour when the swift-winged messenger Cometh, he could not have been more at peace with his maker or his fellowmen." 6524 Dr. Alfred Henry Thurston ^ of New York ( Charles Myrick,^ John,^ yohn^ Samuel,^ Edward'^), brother of the preceding, and son of Charles Myrick ^ and Rachel Hall (Pitman) Thurston of Newport, R.

Posterity of John Thurston. The more I have to do with the names and general characteristics of the descendants of John Thurston of Dedham, Mass., the more I am impressed witli the conviction that he was from the same family if not a near relative of Daniel of Newbury, Mass. Joseph, the son of John, who went to Long Island, N. Y., has kept up the names re- markably, though the characteristics are not so marked as in the other members of the family, who settled in New England. jFtrst esfenecattcin. 8100 John Thurston,^ a carpenter of Wrentham, Suffolk county, Eng., baptized Jan. 13, 1601, aged 36, and his wife Margaret, aged 32, were passengers for New England in the "Mary Anne " of Yarmouth, Eng., May 10, 1637. They brought two sons with them. He was re- ceived into the church in Dedham, Mass., Jan. 12, 1643. He became a freeman May 10, 1643, and it is recorded that he attended a meet- ing in Dedham in November, 1644,* to provide some means of edu- cation for the youth.

Mr. Thurston was a man of much usefulness; one of the prudential committee and town clerk, 1673; the same year Thomas and John Thurston were on a committee chosen by the inhabitants of Dedham to manage the divis- ion of Wrentham from Dedham; sergeant in 1675, before Philip's war; made lieutenant in 1678; representative to the General Court in 1686, the last session before the abolition of the "good old char- ter," and was justice of the peace, with authority to solemnize mar- riages. Farnum tliinks he must have been the man who received 544 votes for "assistant" in April, 1686.

He died probably early in 1691, as his will, made July 9, 1688, was proved May 21, 1691. His wife survived him, and made her will April 28, 1715, which was proved Jan. 31, 1721, in which she mentions all their children and gives the bulk of her property to her son Samuel. He was a member of the Presbyterian church in Jamaica, L. I. Mr. Thurston had a lot of land granted him by the town of Jamaica Dec. 20, 1662, on condition that he would settle there. He built a house on this lot, which was still in his possession when he made his will. The records of the first Presbyterian church give his name POSTERITY OF JOHN THURSTON. 359 Mar. 2, 1663, as one of twenty-four persons who bought and donated .a house and lot to their minister, Rev. Walker. April 3, 1668, he was one of a church committee ; 1688 he was appointed a commit- tee of one to procure a minister. The records of the town and county contain the following concern- ing him : 1663 he bought fifteen acres of land. 1664' was elected townsman. 1675 was appointed to agree about building a saw and grist-mill for the town, and in 1677 was appointed to supervise the erection of the same. 1679 'own granted him a lot of land. 1683 he sued John Freeman, a blacksmith, with whom he had placed his son Benjamin, a minor, who was to share the profits. Sept. 5, 1682 (Lord's day), his cattle broke into his neighbor's corn field ; he took them out, but was sued for trespass, and the court ordered the case to referees. 1682 was sued for debt, but non-suited the plaintiff. 1683 protested against selling town lands. 1685 was executor of Thomas Foster's estate, and appointed to take care of town offices, etc. 1687 one of a committee to examine county treasurer's books. July 28, 1673, was one of a vigilance committee on account of the island being infested by pirates. The returns of Jamaica for seven years preceding 1688 show that in Joseph Thurston's family there was one marriage, eight christenings, and one death.* The following is his will. The last will and testament of Joseph Thurston, written this gth day of July, in the year 1688. I, Joseph Thurston, being aged about 52 years at this instant, and sound in mind and memory but weak and infirm of body, waiting for my change and dissolution, do make this my last will and testament, and in the name of God, Amen. Imprimis, I commit my soul to God who gave it to be glorified by him and to glo- rify him to all eternity, my body I give to the dust to be decently buried in hope of a better and glorious resurrection thro' Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour at the day of the general resurrection, Amen. My worldly estate, after all my just and due debts shall be paid by my executors, I order and dispose as followeth, viz. : I leave the whole of my estate in the hands of my wife that now is, viz., Anne Thurston, to be improved for the benefit, comfort, and supjDort of my family until the children shall come of age to receive their respective portions that shall be al- lotted to them and for their education while in their nonage. Furthermore. I do by this my will appropriate unto my dear and loving wife that now is one-third part of my moveable estate and stock to be at her disposal. Moreover, I will that my wife have a settled, comfortable habitation with neces- sary conveniency adjoining to it, where she shall choose to be, either at the South or at the Town, that is to say, the house that is built at South or the house which we now live in, during her life or widowhood, and the home lot with the addition which lieth joining upon the north side of the said lot as far as the said lot did run westward, whilst she remains desolate. My fifteen acre lot of meadow upon the hithermost and East Neck (so called) I will unto my three youngest sons, Daniel, Samuel, and Thomas, to be equally di- vided amongst them three, to each of them five acres, when and as they shall be of age to receive their portions. The land that lieth at the rear of my home lot and is the rear of William Foster's two lots which was formerly William Smiirh's, I will unto my two sons, Daniel and Samuel, with my whole pasture lot opposite thereunto, lying upon the Hills, to be equally divided [to] the said Daniel and Samuel when they shall come of age to re- ceive their portions. The four acres I bought of Ephrlim Palmer opposite unto my Homestead I will •The author is greatly indebted to Samuel David Thurston of Camden, Ohio, for records of many families In this branch. 360 THURSTON GENEALOGIES. unto my youngest son, Thomas Thurston, when he shall come of age to receive his portion and my Homestead at the decease of his mother or she remarry. The rest of my estate in land or moveables not before mentioned and disposed of in this my will I order to be equally divided among all my children, viz. : Benja- min, Mary, Jane, Hannah, Joseph, Daniel, Samuel, and Thomas, to each of them an eighth part by equal proportion, when and as they shall come of age to receive their portion; and in case either of the said children shall die before they come of age, that then their part to be equally divided between them that shall survive. I do also constitute and appoint my wife sole executrix of this my will, request- ing my loving friends, Mr. John Pruden and Joseph Smith, Sr., as overseers to take care that this my will be duly and truly performed to all intents and purposes as near as may be to the mind of the testator.

Second, Esther , who was admitted to the Congregational church in Franklin, Mass., June 21, 1741. He died May 20, 1704, and his widow married, Oct. 3, 1711, Thomas Bacon. Mr. Thurston was a soldier and held a commission as lieutenant of foot in the 8th Massachusetts regiment, and was at the battle of Lew- isburgh. Medfield was a part of Dedham, a tract bought of the In- dian chief Chickataubut and settled in 1635. Medfield was iiot settled till 1649-50. The deed was lost and Josias Wampatuck, jr., a son and heir of Josias Wampatuck, and grandson of Chickataubut, laid claim to both Dedham and Medfield, and both Dedham and Medfield renewed it. July 13, 1685, four Indians, Jonas C Charles, Old [11] C Ahawton, William Q Hahaton, and Robert Momantog, ex- ecuted a deed of Medfield to Thomas Thurston and John Harding. A copy of this deed can be seen in the N. E. Genealogical Register, vol. vii., p. 301. His children, by first wife, Mehitable, were : 8155 Mehitable,* b. Aug. 9, 1686. 8156 Mary,* b.

This was probably an Episcopal church, as in 1700 he was chosen vestryman. The Earl of Belmont, governor of New York, in a letter to the lords of trade, dated Oct. 21, 1698, refers to the depositions of Benjamin Thurston and his brother Daniel in an action against Col. Willet, member of the council, who was charged with piracy. Mar. 6, 1692, was chosen tax collector.

He was quite a successful business man; a minute-man in the revolutionary war; a deacon of the Con- gregational church, which he loved with, a great love; a zealous and elevated christian. He was noted for a retentive memory. When quite young he was boarding in a family where the minister also boarded. One Sunday morning, while the family were at breakfast, he took the sermon from the table where the minister had been writ- ing it and read it through hastily, went to the table and said he thought he should not attend church, as he would not hear anything new if he went. The minister protested, and said the sermon he was going to preach was a new one that he had never delivered. Moses said there was nothing in it that he did not know already, and further, that he could repeat every word of it. They doubted and he was re- quested to repeat it, which he did much to the amazement of all who heard him. Their children, born in Westminster except as noted, were : --10,285 Lydia,^ b.

H. ; born there Dec. 10, 1761 ; married, first [published in Boxford, Mass., April 22, 1787, Peter Thurston as from Fairfax, Vt.] Eunice Chadwick of Haverhill, Mass. ; second, Mrs. Hannah Wheeler, n6e Butler of Fairfax, who had several children by her first husband, one of whom was Almon Wheeler, the father of William Almon Wheeler of New York city, the vice-president of the United States 1879. Peter Thurs- ton died at the house of his son Johnson in Centerburgh, Knox coun- POSTERITY OF MOSES THURSTON. 439 ty, Ohio, October, 1827, and was buried in Granville, Ohio. His widow died at the same place, May 23, 1866, aged 97, and was buried in the family cemetery of her son Johnson in Centerburgh. Mr. Thurston was a remarkably strong and tough man, with double teeth all round both jaws. He was always cheerful and very agreea- ble to his friends, and was the champion of all his region at "pulling sticks," a game in vogue in those days to test the strength. Many experiences and tests of his strength and endurance are told by his children. He was, withal, a great and successful hunter and trapper, paying for his farm in Vermont by these means. Moose, deer, beaver, sable, marten, otter, and other game were plenty there. He was in the battle of Lexington. Was once taken prisoner by the Indians and with others carried to Montreal, kept some three weeks. When he made his escape and found his way back to Vermont, on foot, to a place since called Fletcher, which attracted his attention by the fer- tility of the soil, then a wilderness with only a few white settlers at long distances and no roads. He marked the trees and went on to Haverhill, where he married, and took his wife, with such effects as they could carry on horseback, and started for Vermont. They ar- rived in course of time, with no way-marks for much of the distance save the spotted trees. He erected a log-cabin, laid out his farm, began work with a will, and soon made the place attractive, so that several of their friends and relatives came and settled in that place, in Fairfax, and in Cambridge. His descendants tell this curious incident in his life. He was told that if he would bite a live adder his teeth would never ache or de- cay. So on his journey from Montreal to Vermont he found adderg swimming in a pond, caught one and bit it. The result was, his mouth was very sore and his teeth became loose. A friendly Indian squaw made him some tea and prepared a wash for his mouth from leaves and roots, which soen relieved him. His teeth never troubled him and remained perfectly sound till his death. He lived in Fletcher till after his first wife's death, and in April, 1813, during the last war with England, he sold his place to his son Rufus, gave Edward a portion near by, and removed to Granville, Licking county, Ohio, with the rest of his family, his sister Wheeler, Sam- uel Chadwick, and several others. They fitted up long wagons, covered them with a coarse cloth manufactured by themselves, and attached two horses to each j supplied them with bedding, so they could be used for camping in nights, and with cooking utensils for baking bread and cooking game and fish, which they found in abundance on the way. These operations, together with fording streams, encounters with copperhead and rattle snakes, which were numerous, rendered the journey lively and often exciting. There were but few settlers on the route, and no hotels, making it necessary to camp out most every night during the two months it required for the journey. When they arrived at Buffalo, N. Y., the place had been burnt by the British and all the people fled. Some years after he returned home to visit his brother Moses and other friends, and reported they were well pleased with their Ohio home, but advised his brother, who asked him if he had better sell out and go too, that as long as he was doing well in 440 THURSTON GENEALOGIES APPENDIX. Massachusetts he had better stay there. They were both members and he a deacon in the Baptist church. She joined the Methodist church in Ohio. Mrs. Thurston was a woman of great energy, endurance, bright in- tellect, and social culture; having remarkably uniform good health, a sound and strong physicial body, which, together with similar quali- ties in her husband, produced a wonderfully healthy, vigorous, and hardy family of children.

Mr. Brodt was a riian of pronounced individuality, and one not easily classified, being possessed of striking and somewhat diverse characteris- tics, though he was by no means an eccentric. He was a guile- less man ; possessed great boldness of spirit, which neither a mob of California ruffians armed to the teeth, during the days of the vigilance committee, nor the manifest displeasure of more polite sinners, could deter from manly utterances in behalf of truth, righteousness, and innocence. He was pre-eminently a disciple of the Master. He was a warm-hearted, generous, and loyal friend. He could not be biased by any subtle misrepresen- tations. He scented a slanderer instantly and gave him no quar- ter. He was educated at the Troy polytechnic institute, Wil- liams college, and Union theological seminary. He spent the first twelve years of his ministry in California, going there in 1854, where as a preacher, teacher, editor, and an active citizen, during those stirring times, he exerted a controlling and mold- ing influence. Returning to New York, he became pastor of the Brick Presbyterian church in Dansville for two years, and was subsequently settled in New York and Brooklyn, until com- pelled by illness to relinquish the work of an active pastor. He died Sept. 8, 1875. As a preacher Mr. Brodt was a natural ora- tor, had a strong bass voice, and was distinguished by uncom- mon clearness of conception and chrectness of speech. There was never any mistaking his meaning. His convictions of truth were very strongly held, earnestly declared, and often with such exceeding power of illustration as to leave his thoughts indelibly impressed npon the minds of his hearers.

He had three sons and a daughter by a former mar- riage. He died in Troy, N. Y., April 6, 1828 ; she died Jan. 8, 1862. Mr. Wiswall moved to Burlington, Vt., during the war of 1812, while it was a place of rendezvous for the soldiers. He was pretty outspoken in his opinions and made himself obnoxious to the soldiers, who set fire to his house and burned it to the ground. By the assist- ance of neighbors, they and some of their household effects were saved from the flames. They fled to Cambridge, Vt., remained till the close of the war, when they returned to Burlington and remained a few years, moved to Middlebury, Vt., and thence to Troy, N. Y., and purchased a farm. Shortly after this he built a shop and began the manufacture of knife handles and other implements from bone, but was not successful financially. He was very ingenious, and in after years succeeded better in this business, so that he left something at his decease for his family. His family remained in Troy till all the children but Mary Ann were married, when she and her mother, with Mr. and Mrs. Parmer went to Embarrass, Waupaca county. Wis., where Mrs. Wiswall died. She was a devoted christian woman ; "held strongly to the golden rule." Children : 10.359 Jonas (Wiswall), b. out of wedlock. May 29, 1794. 10.360 Elvira (Wiswall), b. in Westminster 1806; m.

Mr. Chadwick was a carpenter and joiner. They lived with her uncle Peter for a year after marriage, and then moved to Cambridge, Vt., where he, purchased a farm of virgin soil, and went into a log- house, with stone fireplace and oven, and chimney made of sticks and clay. He had very little beside his tools and a few articles of house- hold furniture to commence with. He was a good mechanic and fitted up a shop to work in winters, where he made sleighs. Mary's mother was a tailoress and taught her the same trade, and also how to spin, weave, and do housework. They were both industrious, en- ergetic, and prosperous, .and soon had a good farm, house, and other pleasant surroundings. He was a captain in the war of 18 12, but did not serve long, as there were plenty of volunteers and his presence seemed to be needed at home. Children : 10.368 Aloiizo (Chadwick), b. in Fletcher, Vt., Dec. i, 1796; m. April 3, 1824, Samantha Melvin. He was a farmer in Cambridge till June, 1833, when he went to Cleveland, Ohio, into a chair factory. He was a Congregational ist; d.

As an officer it was once his duty to take a poor debtor, whose family were entirely dependent on him for daily support, to St. Albans jail. He arrived back in the evening and found an en- thusiastic meeting in progress in the church under the charge of Rev. John Truer. He stated the case of the poor debtor, raised the money, paid it over to the demandant, went baclc to St. Albans and brought the poor man back to his family before sunrise next morning, traveling about eighty miles to do this favor to the poor man.

He returned to his regiment and was gallantly leading his com- mand in the battle of Boonesborough when he fell, mortally wounded. His father, who was chaplain of the regiment, took his remains to Hagerstown for burial and marked the grave. They were afterward removed to Cambridge and placed beside those of his spouse, who had died May 31, 1S63. An interest- ing incident occurred as he was lighting Mosby, the guerilla. He was shot in the arm and his horse was shot and fell over him so he could not extricate himself, though he had his pistol in his hand and could use it. H!e fired at but did irot hit Mosby, who saw his situation and came and relieved him, and said he had fought so bravely he deserved his life and paroled him, for which he received the sincere thanks of Woodard.

He was a man of frail constitution, and more than twenty stepped forward and said he should not go; they would go in his stead. No persua- sions, however, could deter him from going. He entered the 13th Vermont regiment, was promotecT to lieutenant, then to captain. He was brave, cheerful, amiable, and beloved by all, but the service was too severe for him and he died June 6, 1863. His remains were brought home and buried in Montpelier, Vt.

June 4, 1835, his wife, with three children between the ages of six years and eighteen months, started for their new home, and arrived there July 4, travel worn and weary. The Winnebago and Pottawatomy Indians were still living there, and remained for over a year after she arrived, greatly disturbing her peace of mind, though they never actually proved unfriendly. Several times, when her hus- band was away from home, she suffered untold anxiety for fear of them; and several times it was only a providence of God that protected her and her children from them, when under the influence of liquor, which occasionally they would get, notwithstanding it was against the law for any one to sell it to an indian. Sickness and death came to them, and no physician or friend to alleviate their sickness or sympathize with their loss. She is a member of the Congregational church.

He died on a farm in Lebanon, 111., Dec. 7, 1858; his remains were carried to Centerburgh and deposited in his family cemetery. Mr. Thurston went to Granville, Ohio, with his father. His son savs : " He had a rugged constitution, fine black hair, hazel eyes, ruddy complexion; when full grown was five feet ten inches high, and at fifty weighed two hundred pounds. Though not having the facili- ties for acquiring a classical education, he learned rapidly and with great judgment grasped the leading topics of the day and foretold their conclusion ; was a gr?at reasoner, philosopher, theologian, and lawyer, though he followed none of these professions. " Lie was captain of a military company in Homer, Licking county, Ohio, and afterward major of a regiment. He was popular as a com- mander, and genial and engaging in conversation. He drew about him and enjoyed much company, and entertained them with new and important ideas in the most simple and easy manner. He em- ployed many who were out of work, usually with profit to both." He possessed great physical strength and unflinching courage. His brother says : ' "He could handle as many men as could get around him. Fifteen men attacked him on a steamboat and the first blow with his fist knocked three of them down, and he cleared and piled the most of them. At another time he was attacked in a bar- ber's shop by a man who said he had a grudge against him and be- lieved he would settle it then, and went for him. Johnson caught POSTERITY OF MOSES THURSTON. 449 him by the seat of his pants and threw him over his shoulder out of the door and over the sidewalk into the street." " He joinec} the Methodist Episcopal church when young, and when turned out of it by the Rev. Mr. McMann, without a trial, he joined the Methodist Protestant church, and before his death became a free thinker. He was an advocate of open doors to love feasts and class- meetings. "He was one of the first in Licking county who advocated the ab- olition of slavery, and contended zealously for it in Ohio, Virginia, and Missouri during the border ruffian war between Kansas and Mis-, souri, and up to the time of the war of the rebellion, spending time and money freely to advance the cause, when it was unpopular and often dangerous to do so." He held frequent meetings, and was once " mobbed and egged." We give a few incidents of his experiences during these times, as given by his son. "About 1840 a small, delicately framed man from Cincinnati had an appointment to lecture against slavery in Hartford, Licking coun- ty. A mob, having several guns and other weapons, had the lecturer in custody, intending to tar and feather him and ride him on a rail. Mr. Thurston discovered this, and having two single shooters gave one to his brother-in-law, Reuel Everett, drove in his sleigh near to the place, made his way into the crowd and demanded the prisoner to be given up to him, which was done. He took the lecturer into his sleigh and drove away. Some of the mob fired at them as they were leaving the town, but without effect. That evening a meeting was held at Lock, five miles and a half from Hartford, and after an ad- dress by the lecturer an anti slavery society of forty members was formed. " During the slavery agitation along the borders of Kansas and Missouri, Mr. Thurston, with his horse and buggy, and five others had paid their fare on the ' Polar Star ' steamer from St. Louis to St. Joseph, Mo., and were put off at Lexington for speaking their senti- ments upon the subject of slavery. His clothes were torn and his buggy broken, but notwithstanding he arrived in St. Joseph before the boat. He obtained a written protest from forty of the passengers against the conduct of the captain and crew, served legal process upon the owners at Weston, Mo., obtained judgment and his execu- tor collected $iio. He explained the destructive influence of slavery upon free labor, and altogether produced a revolution of sentiment against slavery in that slaveholding district." He was outspoken in his opposition to intemperance and the use of tobacco. B. T. Vail of Morrow county, Ohio, says : "At a hotel, after supper, the boarders and travelers were taking a smoke. Mr. Thurston told them if they would throw away their cigars he would sing them a song. One or two consented, and while he was singing ' the sweep- er in high life,' the cigars were all thrown away and some of the smokers promised never to smoke again." He offered his eldest son $100 to promise never to smoke another cigar. The son refused the money, but does not smoke. Mr. Thurston had a farm of fourteen hundred acres in Center- burgh, well stocked and worked. He was also a large dealer in stock 29 * 450 THURSTON GENEALOGIES APPENDIX. and real estate, and became quite wealthy. Mrs. Thurston joined the Methodist church before her marriage ; went with her husband to the Methodist Protestant church, but has since joined the Congrega- tional church in Centerburgh, where she resides, 1879, and her good influence and benevolence are felt in a wide circle. She is a lady of medium size, mentally and physically strong, and still enjoys tolera- ble health. Children : +10,500 Elihu,* b. Dec. 4, 1824; m. Martha Cowgill. 10.501 Eunice,* b. June 30, 1826; d.

[The family moved to Ohio in 1813.] Second, at Salt Lake city, Utah, Nov. 18, 185s, Elizabeth Smith, born Feb. 27, 1835, daughter of John and Mary (Johnson) Smith of Lancaster, England. Mr. Thurston was a " straight, medium-sized man, with fine auburn hair, fair skin, large mental development ; much accustomed to argu- mentative reasoning, expressed by a clear, ringing voice ; when a boy a very fast runner." He went to Ohio with his parents when eight years of age, and tells this incident concerning the journey. They met a company of our soldiers taking English prisoners to Flat Bush and heard his father say to one of them, "you have got into the land of liberty," and the prisoners replied, "it is no land of liberty for us." After his first marriage they moved to a farm which he had previously purchased in New Haven, Huron county, Ohio, taking his wife's family connections with him. He remained there several years, gave his farm to his brother George Washington, and moved to a half section of land he had purchased in Seneca county, Indian Reservation. It was very heavily timbered. He 45 2 THURSTON GENEALOGIES APPENDIX. cleared a hundred acres and built a house thirty-two by eighteen feet, of poplar logs, the average size of which was two feet in diame- ter. The logs were hewed to eight inches in thickness, and six logs, laid one above the other, furnished the required height for the walls, making a story and a half house. Timber was so plenty the butts of the trees only were used for building. He also built a barn, boarded and shingled, doing nearly all the work himself. In 1845 '"'^ sold this place for $2,300 in cash and $1,000 in teams and wagons, in which he moved to Nauvoo, 111., where he spent the winter. In the spring of 1846 he went three hundred and twenty-five miles to Coun- cil Bluffs, Iowa, and spent that winter. In the spring of 1847 started for Salt Lake city, arrived in October, spent the winter in his wagons, and in 1848 built an adobe house in the sixth ward. He took up a farm of seventy or eighty acres in Centerville, Davis county, Utah, twelve miles from the city. He made the first boat ever put into Salt Lake. The crickets ate up all the corn and other cereals he planted the first year; he found himself in sore distress and was com- pelled to sell his last yoke of cattle to furnish food for his family. A company of gold-seekers came along, and seeing his boat hired him to carry them across Weber and Bear rivers. Their teams were worn out and some of the company had exhausted their means, but he carried them just the same. They proved to be generous, and left many things for him, partly because they could not haul them. In 1849 he built upon his farm in Centerville and raised a good crop. He made a road into Weber valley, which was a hard job, and moved his family to their new home, which, by hard labor and natural ad- vantages, he has made one of the most desirable places in the county. Mr. Thurston was a very successful hunter, as was his father before him, and he says : " I hunted some for a pastime. Now hunting is a science and requires a firm and steady nerve, and a knowledge of the traits of the animals one is hunting. One day I went out and killed four deer. The news spread, and the next day thirty or forty men turned out to hunt and killed two fawns that could not get away. Two of the men were after two deer, one passed me and I killed it. They killed no more that winter ; gave it up com- pletely discouraged. I killed that winter thirty-three, the next winter forty, and the next thirty-three. I readily sold the venison for five cents per pound, and at the same time pork sold for $1.50 per one hundred pounds." He tells several stories about his hunting excur- sions, and one severe conflict with a deer that he caught by the horns after he became enraged by a shot that did not enter a vital part and showed fight; how he held him as in a vice while a lad that was with him dispatched him with a knife. He says : " I went to market with a forty-three gallon barrel of cider, sold it, and was asked how we could get it out. I said I guessed we could manage it some way. Two men rolled the barrel to the back end of the wao-on. I took hold of it and carried it more than twenty feet and set it^'down on its end. I was a chopper also and had no peer." The differences between the Mormons and the general government in 1857 and 1858 caused the sending of an army there, when the en- tire population packed up, Mr. Thurston among the rest, and went POSTERITY OF MOSES THURSTON. 453 south some seventy-five miles to Spanish Fork ; but the people com- promised with the government and they returned. Mr. Thurston says he got bacli to his farm in season to harvest three hundred bushels of wheat from eight or ten acres where no wheat was sown and had not been watered or cared for; "volunteer wheat," he calls it. He embraced the Mormon religion and was, he says, " acting bish- op for Mormon people for the whole county of Morgan for many years. I am at present [1879] president of the high council for Mor- gan county, stake of Zion, and have been for some years. The high council consists of twelve men, high priests, a quorum to sit in judg- ment to try all cases in dispute, the highest tribunal in the stake of Morgan county from which an appeal can be taken to the first presi- dency of the whole church." His present residence is Littleton, Morgan county, Utah. His children, by first wife, Rosetta, born in New Haven, Ohio : 10,525 Harriet Elizabeth,* b. Jan. 7, 1829; m. ist, July 3, 1851, William Wash- ington Potter, b. in the state of New York Jan. g, 1809; was killed by the Indians Oct., 1853, at the same time that Lieut. Gunnison was killed, while acting as pilot for an exploring expedition -of the United States, under command of Col. Steptoe, in San Pete county, Utah. In commemoration of the murder of Gunnison, the place has been es- tablished as a town and named Gunnison. Mr. Potter was a farmer in Manti, San Pete county, and a member of the Mormon church. He was a very energetic and courageous nian, carried the mail, and had made fifteen successful trips through the same part of the country, not- withstanding the Indians were hostile and it was very dangerous trav- eling. At the time they were killed a division arose in their camp and a majority determined, against Mr. Potter's earnest protestation, to camp one night in a beautiful grove of trees, where they were sur- rounded by the Indians and all killed but two. Mrs. Potter was well educated, a great student of history both ancient and modern, and was the author of many very creditable productions in poetry and prose. She taught school nearly eight years before marriage and during her widowhood, and kept the post-office at Morgan city till near the time of her death.

The next day he repeated the whole twelve stanzas to his mother, and then to his father, correctly. 10.577 Frederick,* b. Sept. 29, 1867. 10.578 Jedediah Morgan,* b. Sept. i, 1869. 10.579 Edward,* b.

Mr. Thurston was president of the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Montpelier, the largest corporation of the kind in New England, and had held nearly all town offices. He was a prominent man in Vermont, perhaps as widely and personally known as any man in the state. Although connected with nearly every public measure there for many years, he avoided notoriety and declined of- fice, although it often sought him. An eminently practical man, a fluent speaker, and some of his terse sentences were widely quoted in the time of the war of the rebellion. He had, by first wife : -{-10,623 John Baldwin,^ b.

Mr. Thurston inherited a tough constitution, strong and active. Before arriving at majority he had mastered, at home, the common branches of study and phrenology. He attended the Wesleyan univer- sity at Delaware one year, where he studied latin grammar, algebra, and geometry. He settled in Pern township, Morrow county, Ohio, upon a farm, where he resided [except from 1859-1862, while settling his father's estate, he was at St. Joseph, Mo.] till June, 1874, when he sold his five hundred and sixty-six acres of land and removed to Kalida, Putnam county, Ohio, where he has three hundred acres of land, which he expects to make " one of the most attractive and pro- ductive places in the world." He has engaged more or less in rais- ing and trading stock, cattle, mules, hogs, and sheep. During all this time he has been a student, and mastered "common law," though, for want of time, has never practiced law. He is a strong advocate for temperance, not using any intoxicating beverages, tea, coffee, or tobacco, and proved by his ability to win foot races in 1867 the advantage one who abstains has over those who use these stimu- lants. "July, 1867, at the fair grounds in Mt. Gilead, Ohio, with seven other contestants, he won the race and received the prize of ten dollars. The same year, at Berea, Ohio, he challenged any who drank tea or coffee twice a day to run with him. Several of the stu- dents accepted and were easily beaten, which resulted in the selection of a better quality of food and drink." In 1878 he was silenced by the bogus Murphy organization of Kalida, for reporting in their local paper, which he was editing, the drunkenness of the Roman Catholic priesthood and some of their membership. Eighteen voted to rescind the silencing resolution, but that was not a majority. He is a member of the Christian church, sometimes called " New Light;" is a man of liberal views, and has written and published his faith in a pamphlet entitled, " How does the blood of the Innocent suffice for and effect the regeneration of the guilty." Mrs. Thurston is a cheerful lady, member of the Methodist church and writes- " Our sons neither drink tea, coffee, whiskey, beer, nor smoke or chew tobacco; neither do their father nor myself."

Weaver of Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Mr. Thurston, when twelve years old, was herding cattle with his father on the prairies of Illinois; graduated from the Delaware col- lege, Ohio ; studied law with Gen. George Morgan in Mt. Vernon, where he was admitted to the bar. He took a steam saw-mill and went to Humboldt, Kansas, where he has practiced law, farmed it ex- tensively, attained a fortune and a reputation ; is a prominent man in the democratic party and a man of influence in the community. He was colonel of a Kansas regiment during the war against the rebel- lion; was burned out twice by the confederates.

Mr. Thurston is engaged, 1879, in raising poultry and in bee culture in Santa Anna, Los Angeles county, Cal. He was brought up under the influence and education of Mormonism ; is by nature conscien- tious, sympathetic, and earnest in his opposition to all shams, tyranny, and selfish avarice. He was commissioned by Brigham Young and sent as a missionary to England, where he remained nearly four years, paying his passage each way and supporting himself ; receiving no pecuniary support from the authorities that sent him. He received much abuse and reproach, and bore it with fortitude and with some- what of pride, in the belief that he was laboring for the causeof God. After his return to Utah, seeing so much corruption, self-seeking, and the demand for "unconditional obedience to the priesthood, whether right or wrong," led him to reject the Mormon religion altogether and leave its communion. He says he believes in God as revealed in his 460 THURSTON GENEALOGIES APPENDIX. works ; a God of justice, mercy, and love. He has been in various enterprises in different places in Utah since his mission ended, bttt with little success pecuniarily, owing more to the anguish occasioned by the loss of their child, who was stolen by the Indians, which al- most unmanned him, and the changes of location, than to any lack of enterprise or industry, which traits were both a second nature to him. He says : " We have lived where we now are nearly eight years ; very much longer than we have ever staid in one place before." He has sent us a number of poems of his composition, but we cannot in- sert more than the following acrostic to his mother, "one of the best women that ever lived." Kound tlie strons tree the ivy twines Years have sped by on time's fleet wing, Or claruburs o'er the rocliy wall, ZeolouK some firm suppo rt ro gain Tet years have left no blicht behind, Ere its frail, helpless form shall fall; Or aught diminished from the light, Thus fondly through my h'-lpless years Unsullied, beaming from thy mind; To thee, dear mother, did I cling, Round thee the leaves of autumn fall, And found a firm support in thee; Softly the frosts of age deseend.

Enfolded fondly to my breast. By mortal e'er was more refined. Children : 10.643 George Washington, ^ b. May 9, 1859. 10.644 Erastus Jefferson,^ b. Oct. 7, i85o; d.

Mr. Thurston is a builder and carpenter in Worcester. He says : "When a boy twenty years old I was in the field with my uncle and some other men, mowing, where I could hear the drums beating to call in volunteers (this was after the first battle of Bull Run). It awoke my patriotism. I had just complained to my uncle that my scythe did not hang well. He said, ' No, it never hangs well, you are always complaining;' whereupon, hanging the scythe upon the limb of an apple tree, with the remark, ' It hangs well there,' I went and enlisted in the 21st Massachusetts regiment in July, 186 1 ; fought in POSTERITY OF MOSES THURSTON. 463 the battles of Roanoke Island, N.

Having then served two years and seven months, I re-enlisted at Blaine Cross Roads, Eastern Tenn., and served until the close of the war in 1865 ; was wrecked in the Burnside expedition off Hatteras and fought in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, Cold Harbor, Bethel Church, and in front of Petersburgh; was wounded there on the 28tli of July, 1864, and narrowly escaped being taken prisoner. "After being honorably discharged from the army, at the close of the war, I served three years at my trade. In the spring of 1869 I and my brother, Alvin Eugene Thurston, went west. Our first stop- ping place was Kansas City, Mo. Leaving him there, I started with a party bound for Black Canion, Arizona. When west of the Rocky mountains, near Salt Lake City, we were attacked by the Indians, and the man riding riext me was killed and several were wounded, so that we were obliged to abandon our journey. I then returned to Worcester and settled down to my trade, and soon commenced busi- ness for myself, as builder and contractor, in which I have been quite successful."

Eli Thurston' {EU^ Samuel^ Joseph,'^ Daniel^ Daniel,^ ^ohn^'), son of Eli" and Frances (Burrill) Thurston of Brighton, Mass.; born there June 14, 1808; married, first, in Wrentham, Mass., June 20, 1838, Martha Caroline Sanford, born in Newark in 18 16 or 1817, daughter of Philo and Martha (Druice) Sanford of Newark, Wrentham, Mass., Hallowell, Me., and Boston, Mass.; she died at Fall River, Mass., Nov. 7, 1852. Second, Jan. 24, 1854, Julia Ann Sessions, born 1818, daughter of Samuel and Hannah Sessions of Westminster, Vt. He died Dec. 19, 1869. When about five years old his parents removed to Jamaica Plain, Mass., where his father died in 1817. This broke up the family, and Eli went to live with a godly uncle in Westborough, Mass. At seven- teen he went to Millbury, Mass., to learn the trade of a gunsmith. He was converted in his twentieth year and immediately commenced studying for the ministry. He fitted for college at Day's academy, Wrentham, graduated at Amherst in 1834, spent the following year at Andover, and the next two years with Rev. Jacob Ide, d.d., of West Medway, Mass. He was approbated to preach by the Mendon Asso- ciation Aug. 16, 1836, and was ordained over the Congregational church in Hallowell, Me., Jan. 3, 1838; dismissed July, 1848, and installed over the Central church in Fall River, Mass., March 21, 1849, where he remained till his death. The degree of d.d. was conferred upon him by his Alma Mater in 1866. In theology Dr. Thurston was ranked and avowed himself as a Hopkinsian Calvinist, holding that moral agency, both divine and human, consists in volition, and that sin consists in sinning. In this theory he held all the doctrines of religion clear and consistent. His sermons were all constructed on the basis of this theology, which gave to them no small part of their instructiveness and power of holding the attention. They, every one, had some positive pith to them. As a preacher, he was specially remarkable for the distinct and lucid statement of his theme, the directness and cogency of his argu- ments, the clearness and nicety of his illustrations, and the Anglo- Saxon directness with which he carried his message home to his hearers. 468 THURSTON GENEALOGIES APPENDIX. In his various relations, as pastor, citizen, etc., he was positive, faithful, and entirely affable. The poor and the afflicted families es- pecially loved him. On moral questions he was a decided and strong champion, earnest for pilgrim moralities as well as principles. He was of course ready always to advocate the cause of freedom, tem- perance, and the Sabbath. So earnest was he that, whenever any moral interest became involved in political movements, he entered personally into the caucus and upon the platform to advocate what he regarded the right. In all respects he was a strong soldier of th^ Lord, not to be frightened or cajoled from his convictions of duty, and when he died the whole city and community were stirred with deep grief at their irreparable loss. An interesting incident, illustrative of his bold and plain spoken words, came under our notice. When he was pastor of the church in Hallowell and Rev. David Thurston was pastor of the church in Win- throp, the subject of slavery was deeply agitating the public mind. Strong partizanship was manifested in many of the congregations of New England, and Winthrop was much divided on this question. The pastor at Winthrop was ill and unable to preach on a certain Thanksgiving day. He made arrangement to have Mr. Eli Thurston of Hallowell, ten miles distant, preach for him as soon as he could after preaching for his own people in the morning. The people knew of the arrangement, and all seemed to be pleased. The pro-slavery party thought they would manage it so that no anti-slavery person should speak to the minister, so as to influence him in the selection of a subject, previous to the service. To this end one of them rode a half mile out of town, met Mr. Thurston and took him to his house for refreshments, then to the church, and saw him enter the desk without speaking to a single anti-slavery person. Great satisfaction was felt that their plans had been so successful. After the prelimi- nary services, the first words of his address were, "The dark and damning sin of slavery." These persons were compelled, as a mat- ter of etiquette to one to whom they had shown so much attention, to remain and hear a thorough and powerful anti-slavery address, when they would have been very glad to have left the house. The compiler of this volume had an intimate acquaintance with the subject of this sketch and felt the affection of a child toward him, as his influence, more than that of any other person, led him to Christ.

They were remarkable for their devotion to one another and especially to their mother, as long as she lived. Aunt Martha was very beautiful, very gentle in manner, and vety sweet' in disposition, and was beautiful in old age, and as lovely in every respect as when young ; but she in character was like the beautiful vine clinging to the sturdy oak, and needed the devotion of her daughters, which was lavishly given. We used to say Aunt Martha sits a queen among her daughters, as they would all gather around her chair, and it was a beautiful picture. They have had access to the best old families in Schenectady, and have a great deal of family pride. Uncle Jacob was highly esteemed in the community and was devoted to his wife and daughters."

We were informed by what we supposed to be good author- ity that the subject of no. 1714 derived his name direct from the martyr John Rog- ers of England, and after considerable corres|jondence obtained the following facts ; but the Rev. J. R. T. of this notice has upset the whole of this interesting story by saying his John came from his father and his Rogers from Rogers Lawrence, his grandfather. We insert this item to preserve the facts about the martyrs Rogers and Cranmer, and to show how ea.sily history may be made entirely wrong, with the best endeavors to make it right. The martyr John Rogers was burnt at the stake Feb. 4, 1555. His portrait was brought to this country in 1636, and was presented to the American Antiquarian Society of Worcester, Mass., by Rev. William Bent- ley, D.D., of Salem, Mass., and can be seen at their room* now. John Rogers of Dedham, Eng., a great-grandson of the martyr, had a son Nathaniel, who came to this country in 1636 and settled in Ipswich, Mass., and it was through this family that the above portrait came to this country. There is a bible now in the same rooms in Worcester, once owned by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, who was burnt at the stake March 21, 1556, supposed to have been brought over by Nathaniel Rogers above, and is valued at $1,500. It is quite natural to suppose that a de- scendant of a martyr should feel an interest in possessing a sacred relic of another martjT so prominent as Cranmer. Since the first part of this book was printed I received from a daughter of Rev. James Thurston the following concerning this bible and the Rogers and Peabody families: " This bible was in the possession of Thomas Carter of Lunenburgh, Mass., who received it from Gen. Nathaniel Peabody of Exeter, N. H. It was transmitted through the Boxford family. It is thought to be the edition of John Cawood, printed in 1549." TheKoGEES Family. I.

Carr, says: "In regard to my mother [no. 4103] there is perhaps no one great thing to record, for her life was made up of beautiful littles. Married at the age of sixteen, the mother of fifteen children, with all the perplexities and inconveniences that limited means and a life of toil would bring, she was never known to wear other than a cheerful face, and her morning smile and greeting to all is remembered as a household benediction. Her word was law, and the christian precept of love and kindness was lived out in her life at home and in the comnmnity where she dwelt. In my recollection there were times when she had but one calico dress suitable to appear before company in, and on one occasion company came on washing day, before the dress was brought from the laundry. Some of the older girls enterlaiiied the guests, while others ironed the garment, attired their mother, and in her best cap and sweetest smile of wel- come she entered the room and performed in a queenly manner the part of hostess, obliging her guests to admit afterward, 'the best visit we ever had.' She lived to see more prosperous days, her husband having nearly paid up for two fine farms. And when told that she must die she said, ' I would be glad to live to see the final payment made, but the Lord's will be done,' and in her last hours her prayer was, ' Wash me, make me pure, let me go to Jesus.' A more devoted wife and mother never lived, and in heaven we believe that she awaits the coming of our feet."

At the age of seven bound out to a wealthy, aristocratic uncle, who gave him the bene- fit of a common school education for three months in a year till the age of sixteen, and held him for the remaining time in unceasing bondage to toil and privation. At the age of tweniy-one he was sent out into the world penniless, without books, and with but few clothes. For four consecutive years he labored six months in a year and spent the remaining time and his earnings in study. At the age of twenty-six he married (settling in Hartford, Vt,) and began the work of securing a competency for his family. Six years later he purchased a two hundred acre wood lot in the town of Norlhfieldi Vt . felled trees sufficient to erect a small house and barn, and in midwinter, with his wife and three little ones, left his pleasant home and began pioneer life. With indomitable will and perseverance timber was cleared away, large fields of wheat and herds-grass raised, payments met, a new and commodious house erected, two barns, and the necessary appendages for a large stock. Having freed himself from debt, this house was exchanged for a fine village farm, where began a more earnest work for the education of his children, it being the desire of his life that 'they should have a better bringing up than his had been or hers.' At the age of forty-two he was called from earth, but the work of toil and love that was begun in unison was carried out by a loving mother, whose devotion was un- ceasing and whose 'children arise up and call her blessed, her husband also and he praiseth her.' One of the pleasantest recollections of my father was the calling us around him on Sabbath afternoon and reading us bible stories. There was always a place for me on his knee, and he seldom came to the house without saying. ' I hope my little girl is trying to be good.' No doubt he had his faults and his fail- ings, but his children live only in his virtues." Page 250, line 3, read Eaton instead of Errol. No. 5166, Annette Castelnear. No. 5t6S, Mottier. III.

Mr. Thurston was a farmer; settled in Pleasant Valley, Dutchess county, N. Y., in 1770. He was assembly man in the legislature from 1801 to 1804 inclusive. During this time there was a law passed, giving to one man the monopoly of sturgeon fishing in the Hudson river. Mr. Thurston was opposed to all monopolies and strenuously opposed this measure. He was a devoted member and deacon many years of the Salt Point Baptist church. Children, by first wife : 12.200 Sarah, m. 1st, Garrett Adriance. 12.201 Joseph, n.m., d. aged 36.

Y. ; born there Nov. 18, 1786; married, first, by Rev. John Hotchkin of Green Bush, N. Y., Feb. 18, 1813, Hannah AcKERMAN ; she died Dec. 19, 1814. Second, by Rev. John Dewitt, May 2, 1816, Catherine Ackerman, sister to his first wife. Third, Mary Kimley of Camillus, N. Y., two weeks before his death, which occurred Jan. 17, 1856. Mr. Thurston succeeded his father as a farmer on the homestead in Pleasant Valley. He was a surveyor, also, and laid out many of the towns in Dutchess county and some of the streets in Poughkeep- sie ; was assembly man in 1823. He was quite a noted business man and was chosen executor of estates far and near, great confidence be- ing placed in his judgment and capacity. These trusts never suffered in his hands. Mr. Thurston was a man of stately form, not a particle bent even in age. He was a well educated gentleman, a great singer, led the choir for a number of years in the Salt Point Baptist church, of which he was a member and deacon. " Mrs. C. A. Thurston," says a daughter-in-law, " was a devoted christian woman, member of the same church with her husband. Very retiring in her manners, her whole life was spent in self-sacrific- ing labors for the good of her husband, her children, and the church. The last words she uttered were prayer for her two sons, John and Piatt, the only children out of the fold of Christ, and for the church she so dearly loved."
