 H)r. C^renius liflakefteto, 
 
 A pioneer genealogist of the Wakefield family, who took great pride in 
 the family name, and the high grade of morality, so universal 
 among those bearing it. He always believed and taught that 
 the ties of blood should be much stronger than any other 
 bond of brotherhood. More than a score of years 
 ago, he compiled, and left at his death, in man- 
 uscript, the nucleus from which the contents 
 of these pages originated, and which 
 proved the impetus, which has 
 culminated in the completion 
 of this work.

PREFACE. 
 
 In presenting' the present volume to the kinfolk, the compiler has no 
 apology to offer. He feels that he has diligently applied himself to the task 
 of making the best possible compilation of such records as are at the dis- 
 posal of genealogists. 
 
 It is not assumed that he has finished a work that is perfect, complete, 
 or free from error, but to the contrary, he rather expects some criticism 
 on those points. No one, however, who has not himself made genealogical 
 researches and attempted the compilation of a family history, on a large 
 scale, has any idea of the difficulties and perplexities that have to be met 
 and conquered; especially in a case like this, where no previous compila- 
 tion, on which to add, improve, and correct, has been at the disposal of 
 the compiler. The meagerness of early New England records are a 
 constant source of annoyance to the genealogist. Ofttimes when the 
 town records fail, he has recourse to the church records of the town: 
 often both fail, and he is dependent on the county registry of deeds 
 and probate. Much trouble is often encountered in tracing the removals 
 from one town to another, and connecting up of families, in their proper 
 relationship. Not infrequently the clue to the identity of isolated persons, 
 families, and sometimes many generations together, is so small that their 
 ultimate classification is almost guesswork: so far does it depend upon the 
 judgment of the compiler. Much care and caution has been exercised in 
 this particular, however, the compiler full} 7 realizes that at times, if greater 
 different data had been brought to bear in certain instances, a different 
 conclusion might have been the result. In many cases present day descend- 
 ants have most ridiculous traditions of their early forefathers, which are 
 generally very widely different from the official records, as preserved to 
 us; therefore, family traditions, in many cases, are of little or no value. 
 Incomplete early records, however, are not the only bugbears; the unfor- 
 tunate lack of education on the subject, of family history, of the Ameri- 
 can people, and their consequent lack of information, and even interest, 
 in the subject, sufficient to induce them to reply to letters or circulars, 
 beseeching them to divulge their lineages and family histories, to the 
 extent of their knowledge, has caused the writer the most unsurmount- 
 able perplexities. Continually, he has been obliged to resort to public 
 records for data, of comparatively recent date, when it should have been 
 easily and cheerfully furnished by the descendants. Again, whole families 
 would have had to be omitted, but for the industry and sagacity of rela- 
 tives, who, in addition to their own records, have collected and furnished us 
 with collateral branches, of their families. Should any member of the 
 family, who has not personally furnished records, of an authentic nature, of 
 his own family, on inspection of this volume, find any of his lineage or 
 family records incomplete or incorrect, let him blame himself for not insur- 
 ing its correctness, by sending to the compiler the very knowledge, by 
 which he judges of the error, as herein made.

 Preface. 
 
 The compiler of this volume will consider it a favor if any member of 
 the family, possessing the necessary information, will kindly furnish him 
 with any additions or corrections to the contents of this edition, that the 
 next edition of the Wakefield Genealogy, whenever that may be compiled, 
 may be that much more correct and complete. While the writer of this 
 work will never compile another genealogy, he will consent to act as his- 
 torian of the family, and preserve all records that come into his hands, 
 until some other member of the kinfolk begins a revision of this edition, 
 when he will cheerfully turn all records over to him. 
 
 One of the greatest annoyances to genealogists is the idea in the minds 
 of many persons, that the compilation and publication of a genealogy, is a 
 commercial enterprise, and is fostered by mercenary motives. Nothing, 
 however, could be further from the fact, as all genealogists agree that 
 their productions never have been financial successes. The reasons are 
 many: seldom more than r>00 volumes of a single family history, are ever 
 sold and the cost for composition, which is the greater part of the en- 
 tire cost of publication, is as great for an edition of 500 copies as it would 
 be for several thousand; and, moreover, everything else, cost of paper, 
 press-work, and binding, are greater in proportion, per volume, for a small 
 than for a large edition. Family pride demands first-class paper, binding, 
 workmanship, and clear type, and it all increases the cost of publication. 
 
 As all great families are composed of persons in all conditions and sta- 
 tions of life, a family history, in order to meet with a general sale among 
 them, must not be priced at higher than $5 or $6 a volume, however costly 
 the compiler finds it to publish. Another aspect of the subject is the cost 
 of compilation of the contents of the work. As a rule, this is entirely lost 
 sight of by critics, and many will probably question the statement, that in 
 the compilation of this work, the total cost of obtaining the immense 
 amount of historical, genealogical, biographical, and miscellaneous records 
 herein contained, from the registries of deeds, probate courts, towns, 
 churches, etc., has far exceeded the cost of publication. In order to admit 
 of the compilation of this work within a space of twelve years, it has been 
 necessary to give almost continual employment to an amanuensis, for 
 more than three years, in conducting the immense amount of correspond- 
 ence, issuing circulars, and compiling and editing of the contents of the 
 work. Several hundred dollars have been invested in stamps alone, while 
 much money r has been expended in the purchase of printed stationery and 
 circulars, which have been sent out by the thousand. 
 
 In conclusion, a compiler of a genealogy does not labor for profit, but 
 for a philanthropic purpose, that his family might preserve an historical 
 record of itself. He not only devotes years of persistent, tedious, and 
 patient labor to the compilation and editing of the genealogy, but advances 
 many hundreds of dollars for its compilation and publication, much of 
 which he never expects to have refunded. Such is the way of the family 
 historian. 
 
 THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THIS WORK. 
 The nucleus of the present volume, was compiled by Dr. Cyrenius 
 Wakefield during his lifetime, and was left by him in manuscript form at 
 his death; it comprised an incomplete record of the posterity of his ances- 
 tors, Thomas and Dorcas (Pratt) Wakefield, of Boston and Reading, Mass., 
 
Preface. 
 
 vii 
 
 and Amherst, N.H. A copy of this record was given to his brother Orin, 
 and on his (Orin's) death, fell into the hands of his son, Hon. George W. 
 Wakefield, who, becoming interested in the subject, began in that year, a 
 general correspondence among persons bearing the name, of whose ad- 
 dresses he could learn, endeavoring to extend and possibly complete 
 a genealogy of the posterity of the said Thomas Wakefield. He proposed 
 to print the same in the form of a small pamphlet for private circulation. 
 
 The original manuscript, of Dr. C. Wakefield, became the property of 
 the writer, who also became interested in the subject, and who as occasion 
 permitted, extended his knowledge of his family. While in England in 
 1892, he made considerable research on the English origin of the family, 
 and the following year he proposed to Hon. George W. Wakefield, that they 
 consolidate their compilations to date; and unite their efforts for an organ- 
 ized system of collecting, compiling, and editing of the historical, genea- 
 logical, and biographical data of all of the Wakefield families of the 
 world, or such as could be obtained. Thereupon a large four page circular, 
 containing a prospectus of the proposed work, and a blank form, to be 
 filled in and returned with complete family and ancestral records, was 
 formulated and printed. These were sent out in great numbers, to all ob- 
 tainable addresses, in all the English speaking countries of North America 
 and Great Britain. During the summer of 1895, the official records of the 
 early colonists of America and the more recent generations of the various 
 branches of the family, were duly connected together, classified into great 
 families, descending from common progenitors, and dulv edited for publi- 
 cation. There being, however, many omissions of immediate families 
 and persons, it was thought best, before publishing, to issue broadcast, 
 another circular, notifying the entire family of the near approach of pub- 
 lication, and that unless they furnished their records immediately, they 
 would have to be entirely omitted from the work. The results from this 
 circular were marvelous. The amount of material received was nearly, if 
 not quite as great as the total amount collected in the space of ten years 
 preceding the issuance of that circular. Instead of being able to publish 
 the work at that time, it has required a year to prepare the immense 
 amount of new material for publication, and now without daring to prey 
 longer upon the patience, of the early patrons of the work, we publish 
 it, without further warning to those who have been thus far omitted. 
 Owing to the pressing duties as district judge, Hon. George W. Wakefield 
 found himself unable to devote to the work the time that he had at first 
 anticipated, and fully appreciating his embarrassment in that respect, he 
 relinquished his claim as co-compiler and graciously took rank among the 
 collaborators. 
 
 The compiler has been informed that Dr. George W.Wakefield, of Cherry- 
 field, Me., Mr. John L. Wakefield, of Boston, and Rev. David H. Wakefield, 
 of Redstone, Penn., had all collected records of their respective branches 
 of the family, with an intention of themselves publishing them. But they 
 had all either failed to complete their preparation for publication, or had 
 rested satisfied with the simple collection of them, and preservation in 
 manuscript form. Be it said to their credit, however, that all of 
 them turned over the fruits of their labors to the compiler of this work, 
 and they have accordingly been incorporated into this volume. We have 
 learned with regret, that much of the manuscript history of David Wake- 
 
viii 
 
 Preface. 
 
 field, of Path Valley, Penn., his ancestry, and posterity, had been lost or 
 destroyed, and was, therefore, not amenable to the pages of this work. 
 Also that Hon. John Allen Wakefield, author of a history of the Black 
 Hawk war and "squatter courts" in Kansas, compiled quite an extensive 
 manuscript history of his branch of the family, which was destroyed on the 
 night of September 1, 1856, when his house in Douglas county, Kas., was 
 burned by invading pro-slavery men, from Missouri, and other southern 
 states. The compiler wishes to take this opportunity, in behalf of himself, 
 and the family in general, who now come into the possession of the first 
 genealogy ever published of the Wakeiield family, to express their sincere 
 appreciation of the material contributions of time and labor, of Judge 
 George W. Wakefield, who has made extended researches, and by extensive 
 correspondence, has collected many records from private sources, as 
 well as from registries of Probate, of Suffolk and Essex county, Mass., and 
 York county, Me. His generous assistance and wise counsels during the 
 entire period that this work has been in preparation, have been much ap- 
 preciated by the compiler. 
 
 The compiler is much indebted for the patient and tedious labor and 
 valuable assistance: 
 
 Of Mr. John M. Bancroft, in the libraries of the "Greater New York," 
 as well as by original correspondence and individual research, extending 
 over several years. 
 
 Of Mr. Jno. Lathrop Wakefield, of Boston, who examined and tran- 
 scribed from the Suffolk and Middlesex county, (Mass.,) registries of deeds 
 and probate and ancient records of Boston, the transcription from which 
 makes quite a volume in itself. 
 
 Of Mrs. Elizabeth Phelps Soule, of Boston, who has devoted many 
 months to research in the Boston libraries and in transcribing records from 
 the archives of the state capital and the Boston city records. 
 
 Of Benjamin A. Wakefield for the extensive collection of descendants 
 of Aaron and Olive (Wight) Wakefield, of Oxford (South Gore), Mass., and 
 for the examination and transcription of several county probate and town 
 records in Massachusetts and Connecticut. 
 
 Of Miss Mary Briggs Paul, of Windsor, Vt., Mrs. Harriet (Wakefield) 
 Shaw, of Newton Highlands, Mass., and Mr. William Wakefield, of St. Paul, 
 Minn., he is principally indebted for the very complete records of the 
 posterity of Jonathan and Abigail (Smith) Wakefield, of Sutton, Mass. 
 
 Of the late Mr. Frederick H. Pilch, of Newark, N.J., who died since the 
 work was begun; David B. Pilch of Jersey City, N.J.; David H. Wakefield, 
 of Redstone, Penn.; Dr. J. B. Wakefield, of Grapeville, Penn., and Mr. J. M. 
 Samuels, of Clinton, Ky., deserve mention for collections of records and 
 historical material of the Anglo-Irish-American families. 
 
 Of Dr. George W. Wakefield, of Cherryfield, Me., who furnished him quite 
 extensive records of the posterity of Samuel and Ruth (Godfrey) Wakefield, 
 of Kennebunkport and Steuben, Me. 
 
 Of Hon. Josephus Wakefield, of Fremont, Wis., we owe an appreciative 
 acknowledgment for a very extensive collection of records and historical 
 data of the posterity of Thomas and Dorcas (Pratt) Wakefield, of Reading 
 and Amherst. 
 
 Of William Curtis Wakefield, of South Framingham, Mass., for photo- 
 graphs and impressions of family tombs in Boston. 
 
Preface. 
 
 ix 
 
 Of F. Manton Wakefield, of Boston, for a complete transcript of the 
 Wakefield deeds of Essex county, Mass., and researches on the armorial 
 bearing's of the family. 
 
 Many others, too numerous to mention, individually, have furnished us 
 with records of other than their own lineages, and manifested a deep inter- 
 est in the success of the undertaking, otherwise than substantial aid, mak- 
 ing the work possible. All have done a service that should be thoroughly 
 appreciated by every member of the Wakefield family. It will be noted 
 that even the most valuable contributions are not solely confined to those 
 bearing the name. "Blood will tell." 
 
 GENEALOGY, THE REALIZATION OF A MORTAL IMMORTALITY. 
 
 Not the least among the many valuable purposes of a knowledge of 
 family history is one that I have not yet seen advanced by any other genealo- 
 gist: By the acquisition of knowledge of the life and times of our ances- 
 tors, we acquire a realization, in this life, of the essentials of what is 
 promised us for the one after death. A spiritual existence without a fond 
 memory connecting it with the mortal one, would be barren, being destitute 
 of the link connecting the two existences, as that of a single individual. 
 The same may be said of the memory being the single link, connecting the 
 infant with the child, the youth with the man, and the young and middle- 
 aged man with old age. A change of form and feature, of voice and man- 
 ner, of mentality and habits, perhaps of environment and, even of 
 circumstances, leaves the memory of one's former self the only connecting 
 link. With a knowledge of our ancestors, we are like unto an immortal 
 person, who with descent of the same name and blood, a similarity of form 
 and feature, voice and manner, mental proclivities and other character- 
 istics, descends down the ages, enjoying a mortal immortality, the living 
 knowledge of his lineage, being equivalent to the life's recollections, as re- 
 corded in the mind of the aged. The paramount beauty of the realization, 
 is that the parent of the present day sees and enjoys the company of his 
 own successors, his children, who are his heirs to name, blood, form, fea- 
 ture, voice, manner, mental characteristics, etc., who with their posterity 
 continue the mortal immortality in the ages to be. Their genealogies serve 
 as the memory of the past existence. 
 
 A WARNING. 
 
 It is deemed proper to warn the kinfolk that genealogies are sometimes 
 made to serve very unfortunate ends, in the hands of "confidence" men and 
 women. Books of this kind find their way into public libraries, where they 
 can be consulted by any one; here cunning rascals familiarize themselves 
 with parts of the family history and impersonate a distant relative and im- 
 pose on the family hospitality, borrow money, ask valuable and rare favors, 
 on various pretenses, all to beat the selected victim. Sometimes (it is said) 
 spirit mediums, clairvoyants, and fortune tellers consult genealogies to ob- 
 tain necessary family history to bewilder and defraud their patrons. All 
 kinds of schemes are resorted to, nowadays, for defrauding, and genealogies 
 offer no exception to the rule.

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The genealogical classification of this work is so simple, that an ex- 
 tended explanation of it is unnecessary. 
 
 The indexes will be found complete and comprehensive, facilitating 
 the location of any person or place in the work. 
 
 To trace a lineage, either toward or from the progenitor of a family, 
 the reader will find the consecutive numbering of the members of each 
 great family, corresponding, from one generation to another, that is, a 
 person has the some consecutive number in one generation, as a parent, 
 that he would have in the previous generation as a child. It will be noticed 
 that each local family recorded in the book, gives first the entire descent 
 from the progenitor, and secondly the complete parentage, the records of 
 which will always be found in the preceding generation. 
 
 To trace relationship between two descendants, trace the two back to 
 a common ancestor; if it be a parent, they would be brothers; if it be a 
 grandparent, they would be cousins: if it be a great-grandparent, they 
 would be cousins once removed: if it be a great-great-grandparent, they 
 would be cousins twice removed, etc. If one is a grandchild and the other 
 a great-grandchild, they would be said to be second, or half cousins, etc. 
 
 There is no established connection between the several great families, 
 except that they all undoubtedly descend from the original family of 
 Wakefield, of Pontefract (Pomfret), Yorkshire, Eng. 
 
 It will be noted that where a woman bearing the name, is married to a 
 man bearing another name, that her children, also bearing the husband's 
 name, are indicated as descendants instead of children, as are those bearing the 
 name of Wakefield. Also the children bearing other names, do not have 
 the consecutive numbering, as do those bearing the name, but are num- 
 bered simply according to their order in their immediate familes, and their 
 generation of descent from the Wakefield parent or ancestor. The num- 
 bers indicative of generation are placed at the end of the given name. To 
 further facilite the ready recognition of generations among descendants, 
 each generation is offset to the right, from the one preceding it. 
 
 Abridged references and authorities throughout the text of the work, 
 will be found more fully in the index of authorities in the back of the book. 
 
 In the early years in New England, ordinal numbers were frequently 
 substituted in records for the "heathen"' names of months and days, and 
 ''Lady Day," the 25th of March was the first of the year instead of January 
 first and the twelfth month was February instead of December. 
 
 The method of computing from New Years day, January 1, as the first 
 day of the year, was already in use in Scotland and Europe, so that dates 
 between January 1 and March 25, would, by the old method, be numbered 
 one year earlier than by the new method, and sometimes both years would 
 be indicated. The two dates are now commonly indicated by the use of the 
 
Introduction.

 hyphen, from January 1 to March 25. By an act of parliament, adopted 
 September 2, 1752, a change was made from the Julian to the Gregorian 
 calendar, when eleven days were dropped, and the next day became Sep- 
 tember 14, so that for the true dates before March, 1700, ten days should be 
 added to the record date, and after March, 1700, eleven days. These 
 changes in dates have caused considerable confusion among genealogists, 
 in computing the dates of vital records of the early forefathers. 
 
 Pedigrees of ancestors of Wakefield descendants, bearing other names, 
 will be found distributed through the work, where the intermarriage be- 
 tween the families takes place. The index will facilitate finding them.

 The names Waraeld and Wakeford have probably descended from the same ori- 
 gin as Wakefield, but it is not the province of this work to trace any except the latter. In 
 the descent of the three names they have come to represent distinct and separate 
 families. 
 
 Lewis's Topographical Dictionary.voh iv. — Wakefield (Cut of arms ) This place, which 
 from the discovery of Roman coins and some slight traces of a militarv road intersect- 
 ing the parish about two miles from the town, has by some writers been regarded as the 
 site of a Roman station connecting Cambodunum with Legeolium. is indisputably of 
 Saxon origin, as its name, in the Domesday Survey. Wachjeld, obviously implies. "The 
 river Calder was made navigable in 1698, and the Hire and Calder Navigation Companv 
 have their principal office near the bridge. The navigation opens a direct communica- 
 tion with Hull and the whole of the eastern coast. The Barnsley canal connects with 
 Barnsley and Sheffield. The town is under the superintendence of a constable appointed 
 and sworn into office by the steward of ttie lord of the manor, at the Court leet. which 
 place half yearly at the Moot Hall in Kirk gate, a manor court for the determination 
 of petty causes and for the recovery of debts under £5 is held by the steward at the 
 Moot Hall every three weeks. 
 
 Surtees Society, vol. v., p. 440.— Wakefield is a large and opulent town, delightfullv 
 situated on the left bank of the Calder. in the center of the parish to which it gives 
 name. It is nine miles from Leeds, ten from Bami-ley, and one hundred and eighty- 
 seven from London. The etymology of the place is probably derived from the appella- 
 tion of the first Saxon possessor, combined with that of the estate which he possessed. In 
 Domesday Book it is called Wachefeld.

 Before the Conquest, or English Worthies in the Old English Period, by W. H. D. Adams. — 
 "In 1086. was completed the remarkable survey of the country known as the Domesday 
 Book: the result of a territorial inquest conducted by Henry de Ferrieres. Walter 
 Giffard, Adam, brother of Endes the Seneschal, and Remi, Bishops of Lincoln. It shows 
 how many acres of land there were in each domain, how many acres were sufficient for 
 the maintenance of a man at arms, and how many men at arms there were in each prov- 
 ince or country of England: what was the gross amount derived in various ways from 
 the cities, towns, boroughs, and hamlets: what was the exact property of each earl, 
 baron, knight, or sergeant at arms, what land, how many men holding fiefs on that land, 
 how many Saxons, how much cattle, how many ploughs each one possessed. The survey 
 occupied six years.''

 Low <(■ Putting's Dictionary of English History. — Wakefield, Peter of, was a hermit cele- 
 brated in the reign of King John for the number and success of his prophecies. In 1213, 
 John, who had paid little heed either to interdict or ex-communication, was terrified 
 into submission to the Pope by hearing that Peter had predicted that on the next Ascen- 
 sion Day, John would not be king. Strangely enough the prophesy received a kind of 
 fulfillment from the fact that before the day mentioned John had ceded his kingdom to 
 the Pope. (p. 1042.)

 WORCESTER MONASTERY. 
 
 Henry de Wakefield.— "Pope Gregory II, by his "bull dated on the 2d of the ides of Sep- 
 tember. 1375, constituted Henry de Waketield or Wakfield, bishop. He was consecrated in 
 the bishop of Ely's chapel at Hatfield on the 28th of October following (1375) and en- 
 throned in his cathedral March 30, 1376. In 1377 he became high treasurer of England. In 
 1380 he finished his addition of two arches to the west end of the nave of his cathedral 
 with a stately window, and in 1386 added the north porch. This bishop had a controversy 
 with his prior, John Green, respecting the uses of the mitre, ring, gloves, pastoral, and 
 other Rpiscopal ornaments. Bishop Waketield died at Blokley March 11, 1395. He was 
 buried near the stone pulpit at the west end of the nave of the cathedral. The flat stone 
 which marked his grave, between the two lowermost arches of the middle isle, is now 
 gone. Walsingham informs us that the monks made choice of John Green, their prior, as 
 the successor to Wakefield, but in vain, as on the 4th of the nones of June, 1395, Tydeman 
 de Winchcomb was translated hither from the see of Walsingham by the Pope's provisory 
 bull. Walsington says he was the king's physician and a Cistercian." "Wakefield bore 
 for his arms Fretta on a canton a cross pattee. All above from "Monasticon Anglicanum,"

 BISHOPS OF WORCESTER. 
 
 Henry Wakefield, (p. 193i, Archdeacon of Canterbury, whom Pope Gregory XI put into 
 this see in preference to Walter Leign. Prior, chosen by the Prior and convent of Worcester, 
 with the approbation of the King. Two years before his appointment to this see, he had 
 been unsuccessful in his interest to obtain that of Ely ; and his receiving this, is said to have 
 been in consequence of that failure and to make amends. He was consecrated Bishop of 
 Worcester, October 28, 1375. It 1377, he was constituted high treasurer of England. In the 
 year 1380 he finished the addition of the two Sason arches to the west end of the cathe- 
 dral, and in the year 1386, the great porch on north entrance of it. He died at Blockley, 
 March 11. 1394-5, and lies buried'between the two lowermost pillars at the west end of the 
 nave of this cathedral, (p. 164. No. 51 plan.) In the center of the two lowermost arches, 
 in the great middle aisle, was a flat stone over the grave of Bishop Wakefield, who added 
 those arches to the church. This stone was removed when the present pavement was 
 laid down. ip. 52-3.) Light was wanting, or was insufficient to dispel the gloom that 
 must have pervaded the extended length of the church westward. This was overcome by 
 raising the vaulting of the aisles internally. Saxon windows, etc. In the year 1380, under 
 the auspices of Bishop Wakefield, these ornamental and useful reforms were undertaken 
 and accomplished, the ancient arches were completely attached to the new work of 
 Bishop Blois and the great west window was opened, etc. It is to be remembered, of the 
 erecting of this window, that it is always stated as a distinct operation from all the 
 others, in the accounts of the improvements of the church by Bishop Waketield. and in 
 such a way as clearly indicates that it was formed in a part already built. (History of 
 Worcester, England, by Valentine Green, vol. ii.)

 Greek, Hebrew, Chaldee. and Svriac, and taught these languages at Paris and in Ger- 
 many. In 1519 he was made professor at Louvain; after holding that office only a few 
 months he returned home and became Chaplain to Dr. Pace, then dean of St. Paul's who 
 recommended him to Henry VIII. as an able linguist, and he was then sent to Cambridge 
 and there honored with trie degree of B. D. When the controversy relating to Henry's 
 divorce commenced, Wakefield is said to have been of the Queen's party and thought the 
 divorce unjustifiable; but he was afterwards induced to be of the King's opinion and 
 wrote a work in favor of the divorce. In 1530 the King sent him to Oxford and made him 
 public professor of Hebrew. In 1532 he was made a canon of Wolsey's College and incor- 
 porated B. D. He died in 1537. He wrote Oratio de Laudibus et Utilitate Trium Lingua- 
 rum, Aribicae, Chaldaicae, et Hebraicae, atque Idiomatibus Hebraices qual in utrogue 
 Testaments inveniuntur 1524 -tto; this was printed bv Wynkin de Worde: and the author 
 complains that he was obliged to omit his whole third part because the printer had no 
 Hebrew types, some few Hebrew and Arabic characters, however, are introduced, but 
 extremely rude and evidently cut in wood; they are the first of the sort used in England; 
 Koster Codicis, etc., the same which is mentioned by Bale and Pits with the title De non 
 Ducenda Fratria; this is the book he wrote in favor of Henry's divorce; Syntogma de 
 Hebreorim Codicum in corruptione; and Paraphrasis in Librum Kohileth (Ecclesias- 
 ticen) succincta. clara et, et fidelis." * * * He saved Hebrew and Greek manuscript at 
 the dissolution of the lesser monasteries in 1536. He left some learned works in language 
 and controversy. See Chalmer's Biographical Dictionary S. V. "Cyclopaedia of Biblical,

 Rectors of the Church of Horseheath {from Ye Register.)— Thomas Wakefield signed ye 
 register which begins 1558, but that I take only to be a copy of ye old one. which he attests 
 with the church wardens. He died. 1627. Thomas, son of ve aforesaid Thomas, was pre- 
 sented by ye charter house in London and was inducted ye same month that his father 
 deceased. He died February 4, 1668, and lies buried in this church, (p. 49.) 
 
 In the library belonging to the Cathedral church, of Durham, among the manu- 
 scripts of Dr. Christopher Hunter, are two common-place books, which belong to the 
 family of Wakefield, two of whom were rectors of Horseheath. In manuscript Hunter 
 19 and 453 occurs the following "memorandum that Thomas Wakefield, bachelor of 
 divinity, etc., rector of Horseheath. in the county of Cambridge, was born at Radwinter. 
 in the county of Essex, June 16, anno, 1560, and buried at Horseheath, December. 1626." and 
 Thomas Wakefield. Sonne of said Thomas, was also rector of Horseheath. and born there 
 Octobris 23, and baptised Octobris 28. 1600. and buried at Horseheath aforesaid. February- 8, 
 1668." and Mary, the wife of the said Thomas, the sonne, was buried at Horseheath 
 Maij. 20. Anno Domini. 1638." Nathaniel, the son of the said Thomas and Mary, was bap- 
 tised at Horseheath aforesaid September 21, 1631, and took the degree of Master of Arts in 
 Cambridge anno 1659. and married bv Mr. Punter, September 13. 1660. (p. 399.) On the 
 first leaf of the same is this, "Elizabeth Wakefield, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth, 
 baptised August 5, 1645," and shortly after: "20 shillings distributed to the poore of Horse- 
 heath, in consideration of £50 bequeathed by my fattier and remaining yet in my hands, 
 which distribution was made on Monday in Easter weeke in 1628." A"list of names, the 
 sums attached to which amount to 23s; arid others of the same follow, one of them being 
 headed April 18th, 1630. Given out of the rent of nine acres of land purchased with the 
 aforesaid money. At f. 72b: "Nathaniel Wakefield, Master in Arts, and a minister of 
 Wendens a in the county of Essex, was baptised at Horseheath, in the countv of Cam- 
 bridge, September 21, 1631, and married to Elizabeth Chapman, widow. September 13, 
 1660," then follows these memoranda, "Nathaniel and Elizabeth, twins, at West Wichham,

 The church of Horseheath. Under the north wall, and close to the rails which divide 
 the chancel, lies an exceedingly ancient stone, which formerly had the figure of a woman 
 on it, but now nothing remains but the brass at her feet. * * * Directly over this is a 
 neat mural monument of stone for one of the rectors of this parish, carved, and for the 
 time, handsomelv painted and gilt. Over the inscription is a gothic sort of a pyramidal 
 stone-work, and on each side ofit two large church bibles in stone, painted and gilt also: 
 in the middle is this inscription, in gold letters on a piece of black marble: "Depositii

 entrusted to him to deliver at Preston, but about this time the Pretenders troops made a 
 hasty retreat northwards, and the person to whom the box was directed not coming to 
 claim it, it was returned to Wakefield, who, upon opening it, found that it contained a 
 large sum of money, no doubt intended for use of the rebel army, but was devoted to the 
 purchase of the Bowers House, which was again sold in 1823 by Ann Wakefield and others."

 Inscription from Gravesend Churchyard on Mrs. Charlotte Wakefield: 
 "Of fair descent, of manners most refined, 
 Enlightened genius and extensive mind. 
 Form'd to delight and ev'ry heart to phase, 
 She spoke with dignity and wrote with ease. 
 Sweet in her converse, social and sincere, 
 Placid her looks as her conscience clear 
 Touched with a spark of pure celestial fire, 
 She seemed a member of the Angelic choir. 
 Of all the powers of harmony possest, 
 Admiring friends, the skilled musician blest. 
 Generous and just, benevolent and kind. 
 In suff rings patient, and in death resign'd, 
 True to her church, and constant to her God, 
 The pious christian's course she firmly trod. 
 Of all her sex the ornament and pride, 
 She lived respected and lamented died."

 KEY TO TECHNICAL TERMS OF WAKEFIELD ARMORIAL BEARINGS. 
 
 Argent— Silver or white, indicated in black and white, by blank space. 
 
 Armed — When an animal's horns or hoofs are shown it is said to be armed, also when it is 
 
 of a special color, as all beast's azure are armed gules and vice versa. 
 Azure— Blue, indicated in black and white, "by horizontal parallel lines. 
 Barry— (Bars diminutive of the fess.) when the field is divided by horizontal lines into 
 
 four, six, eight, ten. or twelve equal parts, the intermediate spaces being filled with 
 
 alternate colors the bearing, is called Barry. 
 Bull's Heads — This formidable animal in his wild state is used heraldically. 
 Canton— Diminutive of the "Quarter ' which covers the upper "dexter quarter" of the 
 
 shield, covering two-thirds of its area. This, like the quarter, is a very honorable 
 
 bearing, and is supposed to represent the banner given by the Sovereign to the 
 
 Knight banneret. 
 
 Chief— Is the upper part or head of the shield, covering one-third of it and parted off by 
 a horizontal line. This ordinary, in latter times especially, is one of honorable 
 augmentation. 
 
 Counter-Changed— Charges (bearingsi are said to be counter-changed, when the field is 
 of two metals or colors, and the parts of the charge are of the opposite metal or 
 color. 
 
 Couped— When a head or member is cut off it is said to be couped. 
 
 Crest— A bearing worn, not upon the shield, but usually above it. or separately as an or- 
 nament for plate, liveries, and the like. It is a relic of the ancient cognizance. 
 
 Cross Patonce— A cross with expended ends, having termination in three points at each 
 end. 
 
 Dancette— Meaning tooth. A fess dancette has only three teeth in the whole width of 
 the shield. 
 
 Displayed— When a bird is upright with his breast to the front and his tail, legs, and 
 wings expanded (spread eagle) it is said to be displayed. 
 
 Ducal Coronet— The coronet, or crown of the Duke, is bordered with eight strawberry 
 leaves, all lined with ermine and enriched with jewels. Coronets are classed among 
 the honorable bearings, and with crowns and helmets, are among the most prom- 
 inent distinctions of rank. 
 
 Eagles— Aiwa vs shown 'Spread Eagles" displayed as on American coins. 
 
 Ermine— The ermine is a fur of great dignity and is said to be an emblem of purity. It is 
 also generally used in the robes of royalty and nobility. 
 
 Fess— Is a strip placed horizontally across the middle of the field. 
 
 Field— The entire surface (unconcealed) of the shield or escutcheon. 
 
 Fleur-de-Lis— A flower design. It stands at the head of heraldic flowers and has a purely 
 heraldic representation. 
 
1 1 
 
 Wakefield Armoury. 
 
 Fretty— A fret is a mascle interlaced with a saltire. When the field is covered with 
 blendlets dexter and sinister interlaced at equal distances, after the manner of the 
 fret, but exceeding eight pieces, the bearing is called fretty. 
 
 Garbs— Sheafs of wheat. 
 
 Gulks— The color, red. Represented in black and white by vertical parallel lines. 
 
 Indented— Notched like the teeth of a saw; serrated: as an indented border or ordinary. 
 
 Leopards— "The early heralds, who probably were not zoologists, seem to have con- 
 founded the lion with the leopard, and to have used the names according to the at- 
 titude of the animal. When rampant (rising with fore paws in the air as if attacking) 
 he was a lion, when in any other attitude as passant (walking) he is a leopard. He 
 is ofen called a pard. 
 
 Or— Yellow or golden color, represented in black and white by a dotted surface arranged 
 in parallel lines, both vertically and horizontally. 
 
 i in in >, \m i > r ..rdina! it-s These have been supposed i.. represent tin- clamps or Listen- 
 ings of the shield, converted into ornaments by painting or gilding. They may be 
 regarded as nine in number— the chief, the pale, the fess, the chevron, the bend, 
 the cross, the saltire. the pile, and the quarter. Wnen charged they are drawn 
 somewhat broader than when blank, and each has one or more diminutives. All 
 were more or less in use in the earliest times of heraldry. 
 
 Palee— per pale. When a shield is bisected by a vertical line, and the fields comprised 
 in the halves differ, it is said to be partly per pale, or simply per pale. 
 
 Proper— When an object is given in its natural color it is said to be 'proper." 
 
 Quarter— One of the divisions of an escutcheon when it is divided into four portions by a 
 horizontal and a perpendicular line meeting in the fess point. The quarter or 
 franc-quartier covers the upper dexter (the right hand side of a shield) quarter of 
 the shield. When the bearings of several families are marshalled in the same es- 
 cutcheon or shield, in compartments formed by horizontal and vertical lines they 
 are said to be quartered. 
 
 Sable— The color, black, represented in black and white by small dotted checks or hol- 
 low squares, arranged in regular order vertically and horizontally. 
 
 Sans Legs— Without legs. 
 
 Vert— Color, green, represented in black and white by fine parallel lines slanting down- 
 ward from left to right. Purple is characterized by lines slanting in the opposite 
 direction, from right to left. 
 
 Water Bouget— A vessel anciently used by soldiers for carrying water. This bearing 
 has military significance. 
 
 Wyvehn— A two legged dragon with the bod} - passing off into a long tail barbed at the 
 end and usually nowed or knotted. It is classed among the chimerical birds. 
 
 HERALDRY. 
 
 The transition from the ancient to the modern functions of the herald was as in- 
 sensible as that from ancient to modern Heraldry; and nearly collateral. The Nobility 
 and Knights retained heralds to proclaim their style, etc., who soon became their authori- 
 tative advisors on the subject of armorial distinctions, which, as they increased in influ- 
 ential importance, demanded the especial attention of the professional class. When 
 private individuals granted arms, heraldic advice was indispensable. Hence came too 
 the distinction of Pursuivants, or Probationers for the heraldic office, a distinction which 
 still continues to obtain. But it is in the reign of Edward III that we find the first positive 
 evidence of their regular recognition by Government. That prince created two kings of 
 arms. Surroy and Norroy, who took cognizance of heraldic matters to the South and 
 North of the Trent, respectively. Richard II laid the first foundation of a college of 
 arms, by giving the Earl Marshal power to preside in the Court of Chivalry, and to sum- 
 mon the heralds to his assistance The heralds there appeared as advocates, having 
 analogy to Barristers, as the kings of arms might be said to have to Serjeants at law, and 
 the Pursuivants to la w students. The nature of the causes tried in this court, mostly refer- 
 ring to armorial bearings, at once settled and enriched the system. But the first regular 
 Collegiate Heraldic Chapter was held at the siege of Roueri, A. D. 1420. From that time 
 heralds became a corporate body, having their statutes and observances, and it remained 
 only for Richard III to establish them in a permanent abode in London, and to give their 
 institution the seal of his patronage and authority. They had already been incorporated 
 in France by Charles VI A. D. 1406. 
 
 Heraldic visitations of countries, with a view to collect information with respect to 
 genealogies and hereditary coat-armour, had occasionally taken place from the time of 
 Henry IV. But in 1528 a regular commission was granted for a general visitation of the 
 whole kingdom, and from that time till the early part of the thirteenth century the 
 practice was renewed every twenty or thirty years. This circumstance had an important 
 influence on heraldry. Everv wealthy person was ashamed to have his genealogy re- 
 corded without appendant coat armour"; and those symbols, which had formerly been the 
 exclusive guerdon of knightly prowess, were now at the purchase of merchandise and 
 trade. Hence were introduced a number of devices unconnected with the science, and not 
 always strictly harmonizing with its spirit, but significent of the origin and occupation of 
 their wearers. Yet there can be no doubt that much irregularity was hereby removed; 
 although the rules to which practice was ordinarily recalled, differed in principal from 
 those of purer ages. 
 
 Edward VI reinstated the heralds in an establishment on the site of that which they 
 at present occupy. From that period, as might have been expected, heraldry has in 
 England become more settled and scientific; authentic treatises have illustrated, estab- 
 lished, and enriched the subject; and there are no variations in the system worth record- 
 ing here. England, indeed, may justly claim the honour of having maintained with the 
 greatest effect the purity and signiflcancy of heraldry. The control which the College of 
 Arms has always exercised in the assignation of heraldic bearings has prevented many 
 of the absurdities which disfigure foreign coats-of-arms, where sovereigns, totally ignor- 
 ant of the principles of the art, and at least virtually absolute, have obtruded not "only in- 
 consistent devices on their distinguished subjects, but contradictory rules on the science 
 itself. — Transcripts from the Encyclopaedia of the Fine Arts, London, 1848.

 The Town of Boston. 
 
 ••Winthrop's company located chiefly within the space comprised "between what are 
 now Milk, Bromfield. Tremont. and Hanover streets and the water. Pemberton Hill was 
 also a favorite locality, as we shall have occasion to note. The North End, by removals 
 and accessions soon "became also settled: that portion of the town lying north of Union 
 street being thus designated, while all south of that boundary was called the South End." 
 (p. 10.) 
 
 '■For a hundred years Boston must be considered as little more than a sea-shore 
 village, straggling up its thicket-grown hillsides." (p. 2.) "The records show that in 
 April, 1633, the price paid for the whole peninsula of Boston was £30, assessed upon the 
 inhabitants of the town, some paying 6s and some more, according to their circumstances 
 and conditions." (p. 3.) "The area of original Boston has been variously estimated. By 
 Shaw, at 700 acres; Dr. Morse, the geographer, placed it in 1800 at 7U0 acres, admitting 
 that some accounts fix it as high as 1,000 acres, while Dr. Shurtleff says less than 1,000 
 acres. There is good authority, however, for computing the original peninsula at not 
 more than 625 acres of tlrm ground." (p. 7) "The character of the first buildings was 
 extremely rude. They were of wood with thatched roofs, and chimneys built of pieces 
 of wood placed crosswise, the interstices and outside covered with clay." (p. 9, Drake's Old 
 Landmarks of Boston.)

 HANDWRITING OF JOHN WINTHBOP. 
 
 "The first volume of the Town Records begins September, 1634, and the first entries 
 are said to be in the handwriting of Governor Winthrop. An unknown number of leaves 
 have been torn out or destroyed and as the first business of the town was the allottment of 
 land to the inhabitants, the loss is irreparable and has proven such to those who have 
 had occasion to trace the titles of property. Several later volumes of the records are 
 missing, and for many years, while William Cooper was town clerk, no record was made 
 of the births or deaths." (pp. 19-20.) 
 
 Communication between Boston and the surrounding towns was at first wholly by 
 the Neck. The people of Chelsea thus had a circuit of at least a dozen miles, and a day's 
 journey before them to go to town and return. There was a ferry established at Charles- 
 town and Winnisimmet (Chelsea) as early as 1635, five years after the settlement of Bos- 
 ton. We find by the records that Thomas Marshall "was chosen by generall consent for 
 ye keeping of a Ferry from ye Mylne Point vnto Charlestown and Wynneseemitt, for a 
 single person sixpence, and for two, sixpence ; and for everyone above ye number of 
 of two. twopence apiece." Ships' boats were first used, then scows, and this continued to 
 be the only means of transit until 1786. Four years previous to this Marquis Chastellux 
 states that he was one hour making the voyage from Winnisimmet in a scow filled with 
 cattle, sheep, etc.. seven tacks were required to bring them safely to land. — (p. 24, Drake's

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 JOHN WAKEFIELD, OF BOSTON, AND HIS POSTERITY. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 J . John Wakefield, the progenitor of the Massachusetts family of 
 Wakefield, was born in England in the year 1614-15. He, perhaps, was a native 
 of Gravesend, County of Kent, England, as Thomas, probably his brother, 
 came from there, and we have a record of an inscription from the Graves- 
 end churchyard, of Mrs. Charlotte Wakefield, showing Gravesend to have 
 been an ancient seat of the family. (See Webb's Select Collection of Epitaphs, 
 vol. i, London, 1775.) Gravesend is a river port, and boundary of the port 
 of London. 
 
 The tradition of the descendants of John Wakefield, of Boston, regard- 
 ing the emigration of their progenitor, does not differ materially from the 
 conventional story, of the emigration and association of three brothers. In 
 this case the tradition is only partially corroborated by official records. 
 The meagre lists of early emigrants from England, preserve to us the emi- 
 gration record of but one of the three Wakefields, supposed to be brothers; 
 his name, Thomas, is given among the passengers transported to Virginia, 
 embarked in the "America," William Barker, Master, 23 June, 1635. A cer- 
 tificate from the minister of the town of Gravesend, of conformity to the 
 order and discipline of the church of England, accompanies it. (See Hot- 
 ten's original list of emigrants to America.; 
 
 The history of the emigration of the brothers John and Richard, as 
 well as the place of their residence in the period intervening the space 
 of time during the absence of record, is left to our conjecture, but in all 
 probability John and Richard came over either prior to the one above 
 recorded, or followed in another ship soon after. The colonial records of 
 the southern coast states are silent as to how the three young men spent 
 the first score of years in their new southern home; however, John removed 
 to Martha's Vineyard, Mass., sometime prior to 1647, as we find records of 
 his residence there in that year; he acting as witness to an instrument by 
 Thomas Paine, son of Thomas Paine, London, merchant, deceased, appoint- 
 ing his step-father, Thomas Mayhew, merchant, and Jane, his mother, as 
 guardians and tutors. Dated October 16, 1647; recorded October 17, 1647. 
 It is evident that while a resident of Martha's Vineyard, John Wakefield 
 had land granted him on terms which he failed to fulfill, as on November 
 11, 1652, it was ordered by the town that certain lands be granted to 
 Nicholas Butler under the following conditions: 
 
 "This land he is to build upon and live on tour years: at the end of which time it is his 
 proper inheritance, but if he leave it before, it falls into the town hands again, and he is 
 only to make what he can of his labor. 'He hath now the lot next that first given John 
 Wakefield.' He hath also a property of commonage upon the same terms. 'This is a 
 true record of ye particular parcels of land of Mr. Nicholas Butler which lands are upon 
 Martha's Vineyard, particularly as folio weth: -More, four acres of meadow, two given to 
 my house lot, and two I bought of John Jonson, lying on ye north end of Chapeciuideck, 
 John Wakefield now in possession, by his heirs joining" to mine is more or less, etc' 
 (Chabbaquiddick is a small island forming one side of Edgartown harbor.) As we have 
 record that John Wakefield was in Boston the vear before (1651) it is probable that he 
 forfeited the title to his grant at Martha's Vineyard, which would account for its being 
 regranted. By a vote of the town i Edgartown) "October 82, 1660, the town was divided in. 
 four parts anJ each part into thirty-seven 'sheares,' of which there are thirty-three and 
 one-half now appropriated. * * * Thomas Paine, or heirs, given bv ye town. Thomas 
 Paine, or heirs, "which was Wakefield's.' " (See Suffolk Deeds Libre 1-86. also Edgartown, 
 Mass., records pp. 120-147-150.) 
 
 It appears from the following records that John Wakefield retained his 
 relations with his brothers in Maryland, after his removal, and conducted

 his own business interests there by occasional trips. We find the following- 
 records among the Archives of Maryland, Judicial and Testamentary busi- 
 ness of the Provincial Court 1649-50-57, p. 368-9, 1654 (April probably): 
 
 "John Wakefield appointeth Robert Richins his attorney in the cause wherein he is 
 arrested at the suit of Hubart Paty to answer at this court, (p. 369.) In the case, Hubart 
 Paty, plaintiff, vs. John Wakefield, defendant, the plaintiff is non-suited for want of pros- 
 ecution, and is ordered to pay 20 pounds of tobacco to the defendant for his trouble 
 in attending this court, 
 and with court charges. 
 Upon the mocon of 
 Thomas Connery, being 
 summoned for a witness 
 on the behalf of Hubart 
 Paty against JohnWake- 
 field, attending two days, 
 and Paty not appearing, 
 it is ordered that Con- 
 nerv be allowed by Paty 
 40 pounds tobacco for 
 his trouble and charge 
 therein, (p. 401,) 1654. 
 Richard Collect, attor- 
 ney of Lawrence Ward, 
 sueth to this court for 983 
 pounds of tobacco and 
 caske due by specialty 
 to the said Lawrence 
 Ward, as appears bv the 
 said specialty by John 
 Wakefield, and the said 
 Wakefield was arrested 
 to appear at this court, 
 which he not being able, 
 through infirmity of 
 bodie to do, it is ordered 
 that if the said Wake- 
 field shall not appear 
 before Mr.Richard Pres- 
 ton within 14 days, to 
 give sufficient answer 
 why the bill should not 
 be paid, that then exe- 
 cution upon the said bill 
 be granted unto the said 
 attorney for Lawrence 
 Ward. Court held Octo- 
 ber 16, 1654."

 It will be seen that at the date of the first record, above given, John 
 was absent (probably in Boston), but finally he found it necessary to go to 
 the seat of trouble and defeat the party who sought to take advantage of 
 his absence. 
 
 The records of the avocation of John, as a boatman or a shipwright, 
 and his possession of a half interest in "one old boat" and "one new boat," 
 in the records of the administration of his estate, tend strongly to confirm 
 the theory of his commercial relations with Thomas and Richard Wakefield, 
 of Maryland, the boats being used for intercourse up and down the coast. 
 See, also, sketch of John's son Samuel, who on his removal to Salem, after 
 his father's death, engaged also in coast trading, and furthermore with 
 nearly the same locality, in Maryland. 
 
 This coast trading between John, of Boston, and Thomas and Richard, 
 of Maryland, was undoubtedly also the original occupation that caused 
 John's son John, and several of his grandsons to become mariners. Note, 
 also, Obadiah's connection with the Scriven family in Virginia. He must 
 have taken up his residence in Boston prior to 1651, as on that date he wit- 
 nessed a deed on July 14: "Even Thomas, inn-holder, to James Bill, of Pul- 
 lin Point, planter." (Probably father of Joseph Bill, who married his, John 
 Wakefield's, granddaughter, Deliverance.) (Suffolk Deeds, book 1, folio 278.) 
 Upon his arrival in Boston, John Wakefield purchased a tract of land on 
 the south side of Middle (now Hanover) street, extending from the corner 
 of what is now Prince street, to within ninety feet of the street now named 
 Richmond, and to rear from Middle street 184i feet, reaching nearly to 
 North Square and North street. Through the center of this, nearly at 
 right angles with Middle street, he opened a narrow lane or alley, making 
 the entire estate accessible from Middle street. For more than a century 
 it was generally known by Bostonians, as "Wakefield's Alley;" the following 
 being an example of allusions to it as a land-mark: "Liberty is granted to 
 John Carey & Co. to take up pavement in Middle street, near Wakefield's 
 Alley, to repair their well, to replace the same, etc., dated August 6, 1724." 
 (p. 129.) (Selectman's Proceedings, Record Comm., vol. xiii.) In colonial 
 days, when this was the business and social center, it contained the homes 
 of most of the prominent and historic personages of the town; far different 
 from its present changed occupations as the following quotation well ex- 
 presses it. 
 
 "There had, indeed, been a revolution in politics, commerce, and social life; old 
 Boston was never to be what it had been, though the seeds sown through the years that 
 had elapsed since the first step was taken by Winthrop and his followers in England were 
 to bear much fruit, and it remains for us to ask what that fruit was. The war had changed 
 everything: not only were the most forward people • new," but the very streets themselves 
 began to change and those regions that before the war had been frequented by the fash- 
 ion and wealth ot the day, were bv degrees deserted, and the move toward the south 
 and west ends began. The north end, especially, lost by degrees its precedence, and in 
 process of time was almost completely abandoned by those families that had given it its 
 character." (Gilman's Story of Boston, p. 397.) 
 
 Among his neighbors were Nicholas Upshall, proprietor of the Red Lion 
 Inn and the wharf of the same name, and who formerly owned all the prop- 
 erty on the northeast side of Richmond street, from Hanover street to the 
 water; (the Red Lion Inn was located on the northeast corner of North 
 and Richmond streets, almost directly in the rear of John Wakefield's;) Dr. 
 Snow, the historian of Boston, the parents of Paul Revere, Master Harris, 
 of the North Grammar School, four generations of Mathers: Increase, 
 Samuel, Cotton, and Samuel son of Cotton, pastors of the Old North 
 Church, which stood on the corner of Prince and North streets, on North 
 Square (also called Clark's Square), Commodore Dawes and many others 
 familiar to historians. John Wakefield was a thrifty, and for his time a 
 fairly prosperous man, but his career was not free from very discouraging 
 experiences as the following records prove: 
 
 "On March 9, 1664, there was dreadful thunder and lightning in the night which 
 smote ye house of one Wakefield in Boston, tore two great rafters of ye house and ye gait 
 corner post of ye top, from the top to bottom and sent off ye boards at ye end, yet there 
 were three men lying in ye chamber, one lay with his head near ye said post, yet they had 
 no hurt, only they smelt a great stink of brimstone." (Rev. S. Danforth's Records. Rox- 
 bury, Mass.)

 Posterity of John Wakefield of Boston. 
 
 During the height of the persecutions of the Quakers, we find our only 
 record of an infraction of the coloniaL laws; he was then a resident and 
 property owner of Boston, and a near neighbor of Nicholas Upshall, the 
 keeper of the Red Lion Inn, who was persecuted and banished for his 
 humanity in behalf of the barbarously persecuted Quakers. "John Wake- 
 field is fined 20 s. for entertaining contrary to the town order, 
 
 March 30, 1659." (Boston Records, 1634-1660, p. 152.) 
 
 "The bearing of the townspeople in public was grave and austere. How could it be 
 otherwise under the operation of such ordinances as the following: 'No strangers were 
 permitted to live within the town without giving bonds to save the town harmless from all 
 damage and charge for entertaining them.' 'For galloping through the streets, except 
 upon days of military exercise or any extraordinary case require.' was two shillings fine. 
 Football was prohibited in the streets. No person shall take any tobacco publicly, under 
 penalty of one shilling.' 'For entertaining f oreignors,' or receiving -inmates, servants, or 
 journeymen coming for help in physic or' surgery, without leave of the selectmen,' was 
 twenty shillings line a week." (p. 11-12. Old Landmarks of Boston.) 
 
 At this time the records abound in fines for friendly acts to Quakers' 
 the above record however, is directly preceded by fines imposed on others 
 for "entertainment of strangers" which was also contrary to early Boston 
 laws, as seen by above record. 
 
 The following is doubtless the story of his death: 
 
 "A sad accident happened at Boston to one Wakefield, a boatman, who helping ye 
 ropemaker about a cable, had his head split open and his brains beaten out, dated July 
 19, 1667." (Rev. S. Danforth's Records, p. 166.) 
 
 His memorial in the Granary Burying Ground is mentioned as follows; 
 
 "A short distance west of the Franklin tomb (Benjamin, uncle of the patriot) now 
 stands a gravestone that bears the following inscription, the oldest in the yard: * * * * 
 
 /<>V; ! 
 ... ,. .,■ Jl 
 
 From 3 paper impression taken from the tombstone in 1897, by Wm, Curtis Wakefield. 
 
 Tt follows, of course, that the burials must have been infrequent, or else the graves 
 were not marked with gravestones, for the burial-yard was laid out certainly seven 
 years previous to the date of Mr. Wakefield's decease." (Shurtleff's Topographical and His- 
 torical Description of Boston, p. 219. ) 
 
 He died intestate; his wife, Ann, was appointed administratrix, and 
 gave bond, dated July 18, 1667, in the sum of £222-12. Inventory of estate 
 verified by Ann, "his relict," of same date and same amount. (Suffolk Pro- 
 bate Records.) The inventory of his estate gives sundry items of wearing 
 apparel, household goods, half-interest in an old boat, half-interest in a new 
 boat, and "An house and land that she (the widow) now dwells in, £150, 
 amounting in all to £222-12-6, dated July 18, 1667; verified by Ann Wakefield, 
 who says this paper conteynes a true inventory of her late husband's 
 estate." Before Edward Rawson, recorder. (Suffolk Deeds, No. 456.) After

 the death of John Wakefield, his widow married John Child, a tailor, of 
 Boston, and we find his record inscribed on the back of John Wakefield's 
 tombstone, as follows: 
 
 "Ere lyeth ye "body f 
 
 JOHN CHILD, 
 Aged about 80 years. 
 Died Apr. 3, 1703." 
 
 (Bridgeman's Pilgrims of Boston.) 
 Note. — Bridgeman also quotes the Inscription of John Wakefield, hut the name is 
 given as "Warefield," probably a typographical error of the r for the k. According to 
 his inscription, John Child was horn about 16:23, being eight years younger than John 
 Wakefield. 
 
 We learn from the registry of deeds, approximately, the date of de- 
 cease of the widow Ann. The record of the final distribution of their prop- 
 erty between the children, after her death, being dated November 4, 1691, 
 recorded April 15, 1692. (Suffolk Deeds, 15-180.) Of John Child, the second

 husband of the widow Ann Wakefield, we find very meager account, but such 
 as it is, it is creditable, and commemorates him as a practical humanitarian, 
 generously acting' in behalf of those most persecuted by the oppressive 
 colonial laws, especially those which John Wakefield felt the rigors of. 
 
 "I, John Child, tailor, bind myself in the sum of £40, that Samuel Worden shall not 
 be chargeable to the town. February 23, 1679-80 " 
 
 "Jno. Jenkins and John Child became sureties to the town, for Thomas Hobson and 
 his family June 27, 1681.'' 
 
 "Sept. 22, 1681 Jno. Child, tailor, and Jno. Jenkins, cordwinder, became sureties for 
 Mark Tailor and his family." 
 
 "Oct. 31. 1681 Jno. Child became surety for John Smith and his family." {Boston

 John Child is listed as an inhabitant of Boston, 1688-1695, division 2, 
 also 1681. {Boston Record Com. Report, vol. i.. p. 170.) 
 
 John Child's will was made April 21, 1708, and was probated June 11,

 to Obadiah Wakefield and his (Obadiah's) daughter, Anne.

 DESCBNDENTS. 
 
 1. Jasper Frost, born February 5, 1664, in Boston. 
 
 2. Elizabeth Frost, born February 24, 1665, in Boston. 
 
 Note. — Perhaps he was the Joseph Frost of Cambridge and Charlestown. who was 
 born January 11, 1639, in Cambridge, and removed to Charlestown where he was admitted 
 to church March 27, 1670. and married (perhaps secondly) at Charlestown, May 22, 1666, to 
 Hannah Miller, daughter of Rev. John Miller, of Roxbury, Mass.. and by her had nine 
 children. He was a constable and removed to Billirica. Mass , about 1690. where he died 
 December 22. 1692, aged 53 years. He was a son of Elder Edmund Frost, who was a son of 
 Elder John Frost, of Ipswich, England, who came in the ship "Great Hope" in 1635. He 
 settled at Cambridge and died there July 12, 1672. Wife was Thomasine. He was made 
 freeman at Cambridge March 2, 1636. (Savage's Genealogical Dictionary.) 
 
 No>e.— Savage also gives among the Frost records two marriages with Elizabeth, 
 daughter of Johu Wakefield, of Boston, both of same date, which was August 20. 1660: in 
 one case he gives the husband as Jasper Frost and in the other as Joseph Frost. The 
 reader can draw his own conclusion. 
 
 3. John 2 Wakefield (John 1 ), son of John and Ann Wakefield, probably- 
 born in Maryland or Edgartown, Massachusetts, about 1640. He was 
 a shipwright. Removed to Boston with his parents prior to 1651, and after 
 marriage to wife Deliverance, about 1663, he built himself a homestead on 
 his father's estate on Middle (now Hanover) street, extending his possessions 
 by inheritance at his father's death. He lived and died on his homestead 
 which continued to be occupied by his wife Deliverance, until her death in 
 1691. March 15, 1671-5, John Wakefield was chosen "Hogg Reeves,"' of Bos- 
 ton, at a public meeting. "November 27, 1676, a fire broke out in Boston, 
 about five o'clock in the morning, at one Wakefield's house, by the Red Lion, 
 bv a cand'e carelessly set. which so prevailed that it burnt down about forty- 
 five dwelling houses, the North Meeting House, and several warehouses; the 
 wind was south-east when it began and blew hard: soon after, it veered 
 south, and brought so much rain as much prevented further mischief, with- 
 out which all that end of the town had probably been laid in ashes, and 
 Charlestown also endangered, by the flakes of fire which were carried over 
 the river." (Originally "from an interleaved almanack." copied by Hutch- 
 inson's History, vol. 1, p. 319, and included in Massachusetts Historical Collections, 
 vol. v. 5th series.) Hubbard, in his history of New England, says the fire

 occurred "through the carelessness of a boy called up early to work, very 
 early in the morning, who falling asleep, as was said, the candle set the 
 house on fire." The district burned embraced the space between Rich- 
 mond, Hanover, and Clark streets, to the water's side. Notwithstanding 
 the hardship entailed by this fire it doubtless proved a fortunate accident 
 as "it led directly to straightening the streets, and all persons were 
 enjoined against building upon the burnt district until the Selectmen had 
 staked out the streets anew and given permission. Those who recollect the 
 district burned at the time, can but wonder how the streets could have been 
 more crooked than they were even within the second half of the present 
 century." (Oilman's Story of Boston, p. 479.) January 27, l«i78, he was se- 
 lected as assistant to manage a fire-engine, "lately come from England." 
 March 16, 1685, he is recorded as a subscriber for "ye Alms House." May 11, 
 1685, he was chosen Tythingman, of Boston, and was presented to the Gen- 
 eral Court. The 14th of the same month, he is recorded as of Captain Ter- 
 rill's company. (The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company.) In 1687, 
 he is recorded on the tax lists as a resident of No. 2 precinct; of his posses- 
 sions listed are "3 housing, mills, tax 35s., 7cZ." Two heads (poll tax) valua- 
 tion at 20d. per head, 16 years and upwards. In 1691, he appears as taxed 
 "country rate." He. like his father, is not on record as either a church mem- 
 ber or a freeman of the colony. However, the births of his children were 
 recorded on the register of the First Church, perhaps by his wife Deliver- 
 ance. He died March. 1703, and his will, dated October 18, 1698, was pre- 
 sented by his widow and proved March 14, 1703-4. By said will he gives "his 
 soul to God and his body to the earth," and directs the payment of his debts, 
 and disposal of "such worldly estate ye Lord hath lent me." 
 
 "I doe hereby give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Deliverance Wakefield (here 
 follows itemized list of property, real and personal) with full power to dispose thereof at 
 or before her death, by deed, will, or otherwise, to and among my children, or such of 
 them as shall then be living, as to her shall seem most meet. * * * I do hereby consti- 
 tute and appoint my beloved wife, ye said Deliverance, to be the sole executrix of this, 
 my last will and testament."

 No monumental inscription has yet been brought to light to furnish us 
 with the exact birth and death records of John Wakefield, but the follow- 
 ing quotation from vol. x of the New England Historical and Genealogical Reg- 
 ister may be of interest as recording the excavation of the same: 
 
 "When the iron fountain was placed on the common, Boston, opposite the Park 
 Street Church, the laborers reached the site of former graves of the Granary burying 
 ground and exhumed several grave-stones and other relics of antiquity, two of the-e 
 stones were saved from the hands of the workmen and one bearing the name Jonathan 
 or John Wakefield." 
 
 It is not surprising that we do not derive more from Boston graveyards 
 when we learn of their crowded state in early times. 
 
 Note.— Granary burial ground is notable for the honored ashes it contains. It 
 dates back to 1660, and was first called the "South Burying Ground:" the subsequent 
 name of "Granary" was from the town granary, which stood within the enclosure. It is 
 necessary to say here that the Common originally extended in this direction to the Tre- 
 mont House, and the cemetery is formed from its ancient territory. The eastern margin 
 reached to Mason street, and Tremont street therefore runs through the Common, as it 
 originally was. After the creation of the Common burying ground, the Granary was 
 sometimes styled the "Middle" ground. By the year 1737 both this and King's Chapel 
 ground became so filled with the dead that the grave-diggers were obliged to bury them 
 four deep. In this year the brick wall and tomb's were erected on the front of the old, or 
 Chapel, burying place. The Granary ground was enlarged in 1716-17 by taking in part of 
 the highway oh the easterly side, but in about twenty years it became overcrowded, as 
 we have seen, and the town began to cast about for a new location. It was not until after 
 the date last mentioned that any tombs were erected here. — (Old Landmarks of Boston. 
 pp. 296, 297-299.) 
 
 After the death of John Wakefield we have the following records of his 
 widow who, it appears, never remarried: 
 
 Tax lists, Boston, June 27, 1707, Mrs. Deliverance Wakefield, rents £8. 
 September 13, 1708, Mrs. Deliverance Wakefield petitioned the selectmen 
 
Second Generation. 
 
 25 
 
 for liberty to repair her cellar wall by adding fourteen inches on the street; 
 disallowed. (Selectmen's Records.) The widow died in January. 1716-7. Her 
 son, John, was appointed administrator and made oath that the inventory 
 was correct before Samuel Sewall, Boston, Judge of Probate. February 13, 
 1716-17. Her son, John Wakefield, gave bond in the sum of £600, November 
 19, 1716-17, to truly administer the said estate. Thomas Walker, brick- 
 burner, and Thomas Walker, jr., brickburner, both of Boston, signed bond 
 with him. 
 
 The following appears to be the deed, by which the greater part of the 
 original Boston estate went outside of the family:

 Wakefield, and sons of Joseph Bill, and Deliverance Wakefield to Thomas Waite, house 
 and land on Middle street, as set off to them by "ward," 1718.

 4. Obadiah 2 Wakefield (John 1 ) , second son and third child of John and 
 Ann Wakefield; probably born in Maryland or Edgartown, about 1612. 
 He removed to Boston with his parents not long prior to 1651, and resided 
 with them until he married and built his own dwelling on his father's 
 estate. The earliest record of him, we find dated May 29, 1666-7, when at 
 the May session of the General Court, he signed with the handicraftsmen 
 of Boston, to the number of 129. a petition for protection to their several 
 callings ''against the intrusion of strangers, especially of such as were not 
 desirably qualified." (Drake's History of Boston.) The Boston tax list for 
 1674, rates him as follows: Three shillings, two shillings, house. (Record 
 Com. Reports, vol i, p. 36-8.) We have two separate records of his admis- 
 sion as freeman, first on joining the Second (Old North) Church, June 16, 
 1682, and again on joining the First Church, February 7, 1682-3. Savage (Gen- 
 ealogical Dictionary) probably correctly explains it thus, he "'joined Mather's 
 Church in June and became Freeman the February following." On Febru- 
 ary 11, 1683, he became bondsman for Henry Pease, jr., as administrator 
 for Henry Pease, sr., deceased. The town tax-list for 1685 rated him: "two 
 heads, country rate." March 16, he subscribed for ye Arms House. On 
 March 5-14, 1686, he was chosen ty thingman from Captain Terrill's Company 
 by the selectmen of Boston. The tax-list for 1687, rates him: "One head", 
 5 housin, mills, tax 2s. 4d. No. 2 precinct." At a public meeting March 
 11. 1691-5, he was chosen tythingman for No. 2 precinct. And again to same 
 office on March 11, 1698. He was by trade a "joiner." He is listed among 
 the inhabitants of Boston for 1695. March 14, 1698, at a public meeting in 
 Bostoi he was chosen constable. 
 
 It appears that Obadiah built for himself a new dwelling in 1705, as on 
 the 33th of July of that year "being about to dig a well on his land, on the 
 westerly corner of his new house butting on the broad street leading from 
 the Mill Bridge towards Winissninnett Ferry, at the north end of Boston, 
 and finding himself straightened for room," he petitioned the Selectmen to 
 dig about two feet into the street or highway for enlargement of this well, 
 
26 
 
 Posterity of John Wakefield of Boston. 
 
 on condition that he "will cover and pave over and so maintain and secure 
 that part which he digs in the street and will place and maintain a pump 
 in said well wholly within his own lot." (Boston, Selectmen's Records.) 
 
 On April 17, 1713, he sold to Mary Pearse of his land a ninteen foot 
 frontage on Middle (Hanover) street, with a house on it for £170. On June 
 30. 1714, he and wife, Elizabeth, deeded to their sister-in-law, Deliverance 
 Wakefield, for £140 a plat of land immediately in rear of that sold to Mary 
 Pearse and on the east side of Wakefield's Alley. 
 
 Obadiah Wakefield married firstly, Susanna , who died September 21, 
 
 170!), aged fifty-four years. He married secondly, May 26, 1713, Elizabeth 
 Willis, by Dr. Cotton Mather, (daughter of Experience and Elizabeth 
 Willis, born December 8, 1677. (Savage.) Prior to this marriage, March 2, 
 1713, he deeded to John Barnard, a neighbor, in trust, his homestead estate, 
 as a marriage settlement on his affianced bride, recorded December 8, 1716. 
 He gave a mortgage on this property to his brothers John and Samuel, 
 reserving residence for Elizabeth: acknowledged December 14, 1716: re- 
 corded June 4, 1717. September 17, 1718, on the death of his step-father, 
 John Child, Obadiah was appointed administrator of his estate; he and his 
 daughter, Anne, were sole heirs of this estate. 
 
 October — , 1719, Obadiah Wakefield mortgaged his dwelling house, gar- 
 den, etc., on Middle street to Samuel Wentworth, his wife, Elizabeth, join- 
 ing to release dower. (Suffolk Deeds, libre 34, folio 94.) 
 
 Obadiah Wakefield died January, 1732-33. His will of date December 9, 
 1724, appointed his son, John, executor, or if he were at sea or deceased, 
 his (John's) wife, Sarah, to be executrix. "John is to make satisfaction to 
 my daughter, Anne Johnson, of all that is between her and I, the remainder 
 to be equally divided between all my children, my wife, Elizabeth, to have 
 living in his (John's) house for life." John being at sea, his wife, Sarah 
 (Russell), probated the will January 30, 1732, bond filed (perhaps by John), 
 April 26, 1743, signed by Thomas Lea, John Adams, and Edward Marion, 
 appraisers.

 5. Samuel 2 Wakefield (John 1 ), the youngest of the family of John 
 and Ann Wakefield, probably lived at home with his parents, Maryland, 
 Edgartown, and Boston, until he attained maturity. He was doubtless born 
 in one of the three places, probably about 1644 or 1645. On the 2d of 
 June, 1675, he was married in Salem to Elizabeth, daughter of Mathew 
 Dove, of Salem, who was baptized there September 10, 1654. In 1676 he was 
 undoubtedly a resident of Boston, being on record as a member of the 
 Ancient an i Honorable Artillery Company, of Boston, at that time. From 
 the Salem Records we learn that Samuel Wakefield was an appraiser of the 
 estate of Anthony Dike, of that place, November 28, 1679. 
 
 "February 12, 1679-80, Jonathan Neale, cord winder, sold to Samuel Wake- 
 field, taylor, 26 poles of ground in Salem towne; acknowledged February 19, 
 1679-80; recorded March 3, 1683-4." (Essex Deeds.) "February 28. 1683. Samuel 
 Wakefield, taylor, for £110 of good silver, current money of New England, 
 sold to Mr. John Bollock, ordinary keeper, 28 or 30 poles of land ia Salem: 
 acknowledged February 29, and recorded March 4, 1683-4. {Essex Deeds.) 
 From York Deeds, folio cxxx, we have record that Samuel Wakefield wit- 
 nessed a bill binding Edmund Sheere. of Boston, to pay Miss Mary Saywood, 
 of Yorke, thirty shillings, May 27, 1683. 
 
 In 1684 he petitioned the General Court to erect a "wooden frame"' in 
 Boston, which was not granted, reason not given. Having meantime 
 erected a homestead, he, with his wife, mortgaged it, in January, recorded 
 in February. 1685. At a public meeting of the inhabitants of Boston, 
 March 8, 1685-6, Samuel Wakefield was chosen "Hogg Reeves." (Boston 
 Records, p. 183): chosen to same office for another year, March 14, 1686-7. 
 The Boston tax-list for 1687 gives him as a resident of No. 1 precinct: list, 
 "two adults, nine housing and wharf, one cow, two trades; tax, 4s, 6d." 
 (Record Com. Rep., vol. i, p. 86.) November 6, 1687, he sold his Boston man- 
 sion to Lady Phipps, and probably removed soon after to Salem, as in the 
 deed in reversion after death of his mother, November 4, 1691, he is re- 
 corded as "of Salem. - ' November 26, 1687, Mathew Dove (his father-in-law), 
 for a consideration of £25, sold to Samuel Wakefield a tract of land in 
 Salem, "with the dwelling house in which he then lived." Acknowledged by 
 Mathew and Hannah B. Dove, November 26, 1687: recorded February 15, 
 1697-8. (Esse r Deeds.) 
 
 Samuel Wakefield, who of his father's family was perhaps the wealth- 
 iest, purchased a lot on the westerly corner of what are now Salem and 
 Charter streets in Boston, and built for himself what was at that time one 
 of the largest and finest mansions in Boston. It was of brick and two stor- 
 ies in height. It was built probibly in 1685, when a mortgage was put on 
 the house and lot, doubtless to help defray its cost. The mortgage-reads in 
 substance as follows: 
 
 "Samuel WakeSeld and wife, Elizabeth, to Taylor, mortgage f or £248, his home- 
 stead on Green lane and street leading to north burying ground, adjoining the land of 
 Daniel Terrill.'' Dated January 18, recorded February 23, 1685-6. {Suffolk Deeds, 13-425. 1 
 
 Dr. Cotton Mather says, William Phipps, who was in early youth an ap- 
 prentice to a ship carpenter, "dreamed when a poor boy that he would be- 
 come rich and build him a house on Green lane (the ancient name of Salem 
 street). He lived to realize his dream and became the head of the colony." 
 Says Samuel A. Drake (Old Landmarks of Boston): "He received knighthood 
 for the recovery of £300,000 of treasure in 1687, from a sunken Spanish gal- 
 leon near the Bahamas, all of which he turned over to the English govern- 
 ment, receiving £16,000 as his share." It is apparent that the residence of 
 Samuel Wakefield became "the apple of his eye," for says Sewell, "Only a few 
 days after the news had reached Boston that he had been dubbed Sir Wil- 
 liam Phipps" at Windsor Castle, his wife, 'then "Lady Phipps," purchased 
 Samuel Wakefield's homestead and the adjacent premises of Daniel Terrill. 
 Later, he added to the estate by other adjoining lots. The following is a 
 minute of the historic deed: 
 
 "Samuel Wakefield and wife to William Phipps, knight, of Boston. November 6, 1687, 
 Samuel Wakefield and wife, and Daniel .Terrill and wife, for £350, one brick dwelling and 
 land appertaining on ye north side of street leading from the Long street toward the 
 burying place." \Sv,ffo~lk Deeds, 17-221.)

 Posterity of John Wakefield of Boston. 
 
 Soon after his arrival in Boston on May 16, 1688, Sir William Phipps was 
 escorted from his newly acquired mansion to the state house by the Boston 
 regiment and companies from Charleston, together with magistrates and 
 a large concourse of people from Boston and neighboring towns; the new 
 charter and the governor's commission were read from the balcony and the 
 retiring governor, Bradstreet, vacated in his favor. The residence then 
 became known as the Phipps mansion, the street corner, as Phipp's corner, 
 and the blind alley in the rear as Phipp's place. This house later became 
 the residence of Captain Gruchy, a wealthy privateer or pirate during the 
 French and Indian war. In the present century the house was altered by 
 the addition of a third story and was used in 1830 as an asylum for indigent 
 boys. 
 
 January 9, 1691-92, Samuel Endecott and wife Hannah, for £36 sold to 
 Samuel Wakefield 18 acres of land in Salem. Acknowledged January 15, 
 1691-2; recorded February 15, 1697-8 {Essex Deeds.) Samuel Wakefield and 
 wife Elizabeth, of Salem, deeded to Obadiah Wakefield, his '(Samuel's) 
 share of the first division of the estate of his father, in reversion after the 
 death of Ann Child, now in occupation and use of Ann and John Child: 
 dated November 4, 1691, recorded April 15, 1691-92. Here Samuel Wakefield 
 is given as a tailor. June 10, 1701, Samuel Wakefield was a constable in Sa- 
 lem and is on record as officiating as such, in connection with the disposition 
 of a dog coming ashore from a vessel affected with small pox. {Hist. Coll. 
 Essex Inst., vol. xi, p. 238 9.) 
 
 Samuel Wakefield, taylor, and wife Elizabeth, deeded September 29, 
 1701, for fourty pounds, to James Philips, husbandman of Salem, 18 acres 
 of land in same; recorded, September 13, 1704, acknowledged, October 6, 
 1701. {Essex Co. Deeds.) Felt, in his History of Salem, mentions him as one 
 of the "Tidewaiters" in 1703. We have preserved to us records of some of 
 his business enterprises of which we quote some examples. Printed bill of 
 lading, 1707: 
 
 ■Shipped by Samuel Brown. Captain William Bowdick. William Pickering, and Sam- 
 uel Wakeiield in the good ship called the Mayflower, at Salem, one-fourth of cargo of 
 salt on the account of Samuel Wakeiield shipped to and received at a port in Maryland "by 
 Samuel Wakefield, May 1, 1708." {Hist. Coll. Essex Inst., vol. i, p. 172.) 
 
 Another bill received by Samuel Wakefield, associated with Philip 
 English and John Swasey, master of the Mayflower. {Hist. Coll. Essex List., 
 vol. i, p. 173.) 
 
 In two instruments dated Salem, Essex county, the first, of November 
 17, 1707, between Samuel Wakefield and his son-in-law Samuel Ingersoll, 
 the former legally adopted Elizabeth Ingersoll, his granddaughter, and 
 daughter of the latter, by his first wife Elizabeth, the said child to inherit 
 the clothing of her mother. Acknowledged November 17, 1707, recorded No- 
 vember 18, 1707. The second instrument, dated January 16, 1704-5, and wit- 
 nessed by Phillip English and William Pickering; Samuel Ingersoll agreed 
 to his daughter's legal adoption, by her grandfather, Samuel Wakefield, and 
 that she should inherit all her mother's personal property and clothing: 
 acknowledged May 28, 1719; recorded June 6, 1719. (Essex Deeds.) October 
 13, 1721, Stephen Doick executed a power of attorney to his trusty friend, 
 Samuel Wakefield, of Salem, in his relations with Jacob Phillips, of Lynn, 
 mariner; acknowledged October 13, 1721; recorded August 23, 1722, (Essex 
 Deeds.) In 1722-4, a Salem man. Phillip English, who did not believe in 
 witches, and so expressed it too vigorously, was fined twenty shillings by the 
 grand jury, which he duly appealed, and his friend Samuel Wakefield, went 
 on his bond. (Essex Inst. Hist. Coll., vol. i. p. 198-269.) 
 
 Regarding his avocation, he is listed in Boston as having two trades; 
 his ownership of a wharf and warehouses there and his shipping records in 
 Salem lead us to call him a shipping merchant: while he is chronicled in 
 Suffolk Deeds as a tailor, we have no evidences of his having ever worked at 
 this trade. Dated January 18, recorded February 23, 1685. On February 2, 
 1690-1, prior to the death of his mother, Samuel Wakefield received by deed 
 his first (one) share of estate of his father. The balance to continue undi- 
 vided during the life of his mother, then the wife of John Child; acknowl- 
 edged November 3, 1691; recorded December 2, 1691. Agreement between 
 the three brothers to abide by the award of arbitrators. The land divided

 is described as bounded north by Nichols, south by Lidgett, rear by Clark. 
 "We will quietly and peaceably sit down satisfied with our division and 
 allottment." (Suffolk Deeds, L. cxxxv-iii.) February 9, 1725, Samuel Wakefield, 
 John Pratt, and Jonathan Glover testified that in 1709, Robert Hill, of Sa- 
 lem, calker, did in Salem publickly cried down Tamson Hill, his wife, for- 
 bidding all persons to creditt her: acknowledged April 12, 1726; recorded 
 April 12, 172(5. (.Essex Dials.) March 26, 1728, Samuel Wakefield deeded to 
 his daughter Anne, single woman, the western lower room in the dwelling 
 house, where he then lived, and the southeast part of the garden belonging 
 to said house with privilege of passing to and from the premises, necessary 
 yard room, etc., a black walnut chest of drawers, one large plain looking- 
 glass, one large pewter dish brought from Virginia, one large iron pot. and 
 six black chain; acknowledged May 1, 1728; recorded June 5, 1728. (Essex 
 Deeds.) 
 
 Samuel Wakefield die I intestate at Salem: his son Joseph was ap- 
 pointed. October 2, 1728, to administer his estate. Bond of same date 
 recorded. His wife Elizabeth must have died first, as she is not mentioned 
 in the distribution of the estate.

 Joseph Wakefield, his widow. Mary, was appointed administratrix, but she. in a letter 
 dated Salem. October 16. 1749, declined on account of "bodily indisposition." The adminis- 
 tration <Je bonis non was next tendered Ann Brown, daughter of Samuel, who. in a letter 
 dated Ipswich, October 16. 1749, also declined and recommended Robert Roundv. son-in-law 
 to Joseph, the former administrator, who was accordingly appointed, and he gave bond 
 of the same date: "Know all men by these presence that we. Robert Round}' and Anthony 
 Wood, weavers, and Isaac Woodberry, gents., all of Beverly, in ye County of Essex, 
 within his majesties province of the Massachusetts Bay. in N. E. etc." In the statement 
 of the administration (de bonis non) by Robert Roundy. among the debtors of the estate 
 mentioned, were Phillip English. Joseph Wakefield, former administrator, for coasting 
 for his father and Ann Wakefield for attendance in sickness. The total value of the 
 estate is not clear, but bonds were in the sum of £1,000.

 more durable style of architecture. A lady entering Boston in 1795. remarks: "The

 ous chaises we met, drawn by one horse, the driver being placed on a low seat in front, 
 appeared to me very singular." Another writer observes of the town, in 1805: "The 
 houses were most of them wood, seldom enlivened by paint, and closely resembling the 
 old-fashiuned, dark-looking editices still to be seen in Newport, K.I." (p. 9, Drake's Old 
 
 Landmarks of Boston.) 
 
 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 8. John' 5 Wakefield (John,- John 1 ), son of John and Deliverance Wake- 
 field, was born at his father's homestead in Boston, January 27, 1668, a share 
 of which he inherited and resided on for some time, but prior to 1718 they 
 removed to a residence property on Back (now Salem) street, then owned 
 by his father-in-law, Thomas Walker, jr., but by a deed dated October 14, 1718, 
 and acknowledged and recorded July 12, 1738, it was presented to his wife 
 Elizabeth. He was the administrator of the estate of his mother, Deliver- 
 ance Wakefield, and his administration of same is best described by a 
 series of official records. The bond dated November 19, 1716, in the sum of 
 £600 was signed by John Wakefield, shipwright, Thomas Walker, brick- 
 burner, and Thomas Walker, jr., brickburner, all of Boston. Then follows 
 Suffolk Deeds (libre 32, folio 91, October 7, 1717.) John Wakefield and wife, 
 Deliverance, estate (and al.) division between Thomas Walker and H. 
 Bridgeham, assignees of John Wakefield, eldest son of John and Deliverance 
 Wakefield, (both John, sr., and John, jr., shipwrights,) Joseph Wakefield, 
 shipwright, son of John and Deliverance Wakefield, Samuel Wakefield, 
 shipwright, third son of Deliverance and John Wakefield, Joseph Bill, 
 husband of Deliverance, a daughter of John and Deliverance Wakefield, 
 and John Corsser and Sarah, his wife, daughter of John and Deliverance 
 Wakefield, (which said, John, Joseph, Samuel, Deliverance, and Sarah, 
 were all children of John and Deliverance Wakefield, deceased. (Libre 31, 
 folio, 81. December 18, 1716.) John, child of John and Deliverance Wake- 
 field to Thomas Walker, quit claim by John, eldest son, administrator of 
 his parents, John and Deliverance Wakefield, all his share in his father's 
 and mother's property; acknowledged December — , 1716; recorded March 
 20, 1716. (Libre 32, folio 92. November 4, 1717.) Deliverance Wakefield 
 and John, child, ct al. to Thomas Walker, John Corsser and Sarah, his wife, 
 all their share of parents estate as above. 
 
 He was married by Cotton Mather, November 23, 1693, to Elizabeth, 
 daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Collins) Walker. His father-in-law, 
 Thomas Walker, died, and his will, dated July 23, 1724, and proved February 
 28, 1725, divided an estate valued at £5.270; inventory dated December 12, 
 1727. In the division of the estate, Elizabeth Wakefield received the rear 
 and lower part of the Mansion House of Thomas Walker, on Orange street, 
 etc., valued at £1,066, which was, on September 6, 1735, sold to Thomas 
 Walker's widow, Elizabeth, by Samuel Wakefield, guardian. John Wake- 
 field was a mariner or shipwright, but we have no records of his rank on 
 shipboard. He died January 31, 1735, and is interred in the King's Chapel 
 burying ground, Boston. It is evident that the grief of his widow at his 
 loss was very great, as soon after her mind became deranged, and on May 
 30, 1735, Probate Judge Josiah Willard communicated to the selectmen the 
 fact that Elizabeth Wakefield, of Boston, aforesaid widow, is a non compos 
 person, or so far wanting in reason and understanding as to be incapable of 
 managing her own affairs. June 6, 1735, five selectmen were duly appointed 
 a committee to visit her and report on her case. They accordingly re- 
 ported on that date, finding her as above described, and her son Samuel 
 was duly appointed guardian, giving bond in the sum of £1,000, June 17, 1735. 
 Her guardian, by order of the court, reported house sold for £425, and to 
 interest and other cash receipts a total of £471 18s 00$. She must have died 
 about August 1, 1738, as on August 4 of that year James Barnard, Benjamin 
 Eustis, and Edward Brazer, were chosen by Samuel Wakefield, Paul Sher- 
 roch, and David Lennox, heirs, to appraise the estate of Mrs. Elizabeth 
 Wakefield, late of Boston, deceased, the inventory of which they reported

 July 26, 1738, including- house and land, "Heridittaments & appurtanances 
 at ye North End near ye Baptiste Meeting- House, £65 00s 00c?." After her 
 decease, her son Samuel was appointed her administrator, and in his item- 
 ized account of debits were the following, of special interest: 
 
 "Paid Ester Wakefield, for sundrys at my father's decease: paid Deacon Lee. the 
 former guardian; paid Joseph Wakefi;ld. for glass and mending windows: paid David 
 Lennox, for labor and materials to repair of house: to cash expended during mother's 
 sickness: paid Captain Breed, for hoarding my mother: sundrvs for my mother during 
 her last illness; Dr. Perkins, for medicine arid attendance; Mr. Mullins & Co. , porters' 
 notes for pall bell, etc. ; George Holmes, for twenty-nine pairs gloves for funeral; Captain 
 Turen, for three gallons of wine for funeral; Eliza Adleton, ye dece ised grandchild, for 
 mourning; David Lennox, for ye coffin and sundrys; Joseph Wakefield, note for glass; 
 David Lennox, for boarding my mother from August 20, 1734, to June 36, 1738." (Possibly 
 the latter date was the date of her decease.)

 (Rand) Lord, who was born July 26, 1674; married by Mr. Benjamin Wads- 
 worth; she died soon after without issue. He then married secondly, Miss 
 Esther Archer, of Boston; married by Mr. Samuel Miles, November 7, 1706. 
 She died and he married third, Priscilla, (probably) daughter of William 
 and Elizabeth Russell, of Reading, Mass., as "Priscilla Wakefield, alias 
 Russell, was dismissed from the North Reading Church, November 8, 1722,

 Posterity of John Wakefield of Boston. 
 
 to the church in Boston;" married by Mr. William Cooper, in Boston, April 
 13, 1732. He resided in Boston, and the following' mortgage describes the 
 location of his residence: 
 
 "March 19, 1717-18, Joseph Wakelield and wife Esther to Samuel Terrill, mortgage, 
 property bounded north by Nicholls, east by Samuel Wakefield, south by Wakefield's 
 Alley, and west by Harris." (Suffolk Deeds, libre 32, folio 193.) 
 
 Joseph Wakefield distinguished himself as a brave man and persistent 
 fighter, having served under various commanders and in the most bloody 
 battles throughout King Philip's War. We find him credited with military 
 service under Captain Mosely, amounting to £2 14s 10<i, on June 24, 1676, and 
 on August 4 of the same year 12s 1 OcZ. He probably served with the valiant 
 captain, perhaps one of the independent company whose organization was 
 thus recorded. "Within three hours" says the old historian, "there were en- 
 listed 110 volunteers." These were partly old privateer men who had previ- 
 ously served under the captain and partly young men, apprentice boys, etc. 
 He was probably with Mosely in that grand and successful assault on Philip's 
 stronghold at Narragansett on the 19th of December, 1675, when six of the 
 captains in the command fell and Captain Mosely's company, who led the 
 van, lost nine killed and ten wounded. {New England Historical and Genealog- 
 ical Register, vol. xxxvii, pp. 183-186.) We also find in the same (vol. xxxix, 
 p. 382), that Joseph Wakefie'd was a member of Major Clark's company in 
 the same war. Quoted from Massachusetts Archives, vol. lxviii, p. 95. Also 
 in the Massachusetts Archives, vol. lxviii, p. 95, Joseph Wakefield is credited 
 with service under command of Captain James Oliver in King Phillip's War.

 Note 2. — "The sturdy mechanics of the North End were ever read} 7 to act in the cause 
 of liberty, no matter what the sacrifice might be. Many of her sons gained a noble repu- 
 tation in the wars of the republic. There was that old sea lion, John Manly, who held the 
 first naval commission issued by Washington in 1776. He took, in the "Lee." the dangerous 
 cruising-grouad of Boston Bay, and captured, in November, the British ordnance brig 
 Nancy, a prize so important to the Continental army that the camps were wild with joy. 
 Among other pieces taken was a heavy brass mortar, which Old Put mounted with a 
 bottle of rum in his hand, while Mifflin christened it the "Congress." The Lee made other 
 important captures: and in 1776 Manly was given command of the Hancock frigate, in 
 which he captured the Fox, British man-of-war, but was himself taken prisoner by the 
 Rainbow, a much heavier vessel than his own. He commanded afterwards the Jason 
 and Hague, in both of which he gave evidence that he was a worthy comrade of Paul 
 Jones. Manlv was a bluff but indiscreet seaman, and for some irregularity was court- 
 martialed. He died in 1793, at his house at the North End." (p. 220. Drake's Old Land- 
 marks of Boston.)

 about 1693-4, and settled in Boston, where he died intestate November 15, 
 1727, aged 61 years. He left an estate of £725, his widow Susanna being

 appointed administrator de bonis non, September 9, 1729. March 14, 1731, 
 the administration of the estate of Humphrey Richards was granted to 
 John Coinpton. (See Suffolk Probate, libre xxi. folio 35; libre xxvi, folio 229: 
 and libre xxix, folio 430.) Humphrey Richards was no doubt the brother of 
 John Richards, of Newbury. He attended Cotton Mather's church (Old 
 North), did considerable business, and was a respected citizen. He was a 
 baker by trade.

 14. Captain Obadiah 3 Wakefield (Obadiah, 2 John 1 ), third child of 
 Obadiah and Susanna Wakefield, was born November 11, 1677. He was a 
 mariner and became a ship captain. In the New England Historical and Gen- 
 ealogical Rejster, vol. xxxi, p. 311, we find a Boston record of his arrival in 
 port with his brig "Prince Eugene,' - from London, dated June 17, 1712. 
 Obadiah Wakefield was married by Cotton Mather, November 23, 1693, to 
 Rebecca, daughter of Sampson and Rebecca Waters, of Boston. 
 
 Among Suffolk Deeds, 30-166, we find recorded the award of arbitrators 
 on the estate of Sampson Waters, August 18, 1706, providing for division 
 between Thomas Barker, who married Rebecca, widow of Sampson Waters, 
 John Jarvis and wife Mary, Obadiah Wakefield and wife Rebecca, and and 
 John Wakefield and wife Anne, three daughters and only surviving child- 
 ren of Sampson Waters, as to brick building, wharffe, and movable estate. 
 Land was granted to Obadiah Wakefield and wife and John Wakefie'd and 
 wife, in Somerset county, on Nauticook river, Va.: acknowledged December 
 20, 1707, recorded June 6, 1716. Another record from same source, 30-123, we 
 find a divisional agreement of date September 30, 1714, between Obadiah 
 Wakefield and wife Rebecca, John Jarvis and wife Mary, both wives, daugh- 
 ters of Sampson Waters, each to have "one-half of housing and wharffe and 
 commonage of yard." (libre xxxix, folio 53.) Obadiah Wakefield, to George 
 Hopkins, October 5, 1725. Obadiah Wakefield, shipwright, brick house, 
 wharf, etc., near High street, dower released by wife, Mary, (libre xxxix 
 folio 138.) Obadiah Wakefield from George Hopkins, October 7, 1725, lower 
 room of dwelling house of George Hopkins for life. Obadiah is mentioned 
 as a shipwright, (libre xlv, folio 166.) May 16, 1730, another deed, Obadiah 
 Wakefield and wife to George Hopkins. George Hopkins was his son-in-law, 
 and the above probably are representative in part of a divisional distribu- 
 tion of his property among his children. The first deed above given may 
 have significant connection with the following record: We find among the 
 deeds of York county, Me., book vii, folio 15, that Obadiah Wakefield wit- 
 nessed an instrument of power of attorney of Robert Screven, son of Rev. 
 William Screven, in which Rev. William Screven, of Somerton, near 
 Charleston, S. C , appoints his son Robert (a shipwright) his attorney to 
 conduct his affairs and manage his property at Kittery, Me. The same 
 made and signed at Charleston, S. O, June 12, 1704, and there witnessed by 
 Obadiah Wakefield and John Pitts. Acknowledged before John Clark, J.P. 
 of Boston, July 12, 1704, by the witnesses, probably both shipwrights. In 
 accordance with the above authority, Robert Screven, then of Kittery, 
 sold to Nicholas Frost, of Portsmouth, N. H., a mariner, land in Kittery, 
 dated November 12, 1704, acknowledged by witnesses at Kittery, November 
 20, 1704. Another Suffolk Deed, 108-270 (1714), is recorded the division of part 
 of Sampson Water's estate between Obadiah Wakefield and wife Rebecca, 
 and John Jarvis and wife Mary, both wives being daughters of Sampson 
 Waters.

 Boston; married by Rev. Cotton Mather. Anne (Waters) Wakefield died 
 January 1, 1712; then John married secondly, January 7, 1713-14, Sarah, 
 daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Russell, of Boston, married by Rev. Cot- 
 ton Mather. Mrs. Sarah Wakefield was baptized August 31, and the fol- 
 lowing March 7, 1735-6, was admitted to the new brick church, Boston. He 
 was a ship captain, as is attested by the following record: 
 
 "Arrivals; Impost Office, Boston, Mass. Vessels entered ye month of May, 1712: 
 John Wakefield with ye brig 'Lisbon Merchant,' vessel from Lisbon; no passengers, but 
 mariners. 
 
 Judging from the following record, Captain Wakefield was a man of 
 considerable prominence in Boston, as during King George's War, "Septem- 
 ber 22, 1746, in public town meeting assembled in Fanueil Hall, Captain 
 John Wakefield was chosen one of a committee to wait upon the captain- 
 general for his leave in placing cannons, etc., at the ends of the wharfs, 
 and take action for the security of the town and defense against the enemy." 
 (Boston Records, vol. xiv. ) From the following deeds we may judge of the 
 location and extent of his real estate possessions: (Suffolk Deeds, libre xlv, 
 folio 87.) January 4 1730, John Wakefield (mariner), from Nathaniel Bel- 
 knap, a mortgage. (Libre xxv, folio 408.) Ebenezer Thornton, shipwright, 
 and wife Elizabeth, of Boston, to Captain John Wakefield (mariner), of

 she, with Thomas Walker, merchant, and Joseph Hiller, jeweler, gave bond 
 in the sum of £1,000, of the same date. The inventory of his estate, dated

 Elizabeth (Dove) Wakefield: born in Boston, March 2, 1675-6; married in 
 Salem, September 5, 1700 Samuel Ingersoll, supposed to be son of John In- 
 gersoll, of Salem. She died January 22. 1702, leaving one child, who was 
 adopted by her father, Samuel Wakefield.

 Thornton, who married secondly, between December, 1724, and July, 1725, 
 John Coolidge, of Boston. Ebenezer married by Rev. Cotton Mather. 
 
36 Posterity op John Wakefield op Boston. 
 
 January 20, 1731-32, Ebenezer Wakefield, a minor aged about 14 years, 
 grandson of Samuel Wakefield, of Salem, had his mother, Experience Coo- 
 lidge, widow, appointed guardian, and she, with Ebenezer and Timothy 
 Thornton, gave bonds in the sum of £200. It would appear from the above 
 that John Coolidge, Experience's second husband, did not long survive their 
 marriage. 
 
 Note— Rev. Thomas Thornton. Yarmouth, came soon after the Bartholomew act of 
 1662, bringing wife and children. At Yarmouth he was as early as June 18, 1663, and in 
 1677. removed to Boston, joined Mather's church (Old North) and died February 13, 1700, 
 aged 90 to 03 vears. In January. 1694, he was called by Cotton Mather to testify how Mar- 
 garet Rule was raised from her bed by an invisible force; was probably then in second 
 childhood. His son. Timothy, born in 1647, was a Boston merchant; born in England, and 
 admitted freeman 1672 by his wife Experience, perhaps sister of the first John Brooking, 
 who died March 23, 1694. Timothy Thornton was representative 1693-4-5. He had another 
 wife, Sarah, who died December 3, 1725. He died September 19, 1726. Daughter Experi- 
 ence, born February z3, 1687; married September 24, 1713, Ebenezer Wakefield. 
 
 26. Joseph 11 Wakefield {Samuel, 2 John 1 ), son of Samuel and Eliza- 
 beth (Dove) Wakefield; born in Boston, August 12, 1086; married Mary Grif- 
 fis, intentions published August 9, 1735. He resided in Salem and succeeded 
 to the business of his father, in shipping trade with southern coast ports, 
 acting as administrator of his estate. 
 
 September 1, 1786, Martin Village and Christain, his wife, for £110, in 
 bills of credit, deeded to Joseph Wakefield 15 poles of land and dwelling 
 houses thereon; acknowledged September 4, 1736; recorded September 4, 
 1736. November 4, 1737, Joseph Wakefield, mariner, for £110 sold to Chris- 
 tian Village, wife of Martin Village, a dwelling house with 15 poles of land: 
 acknowledged November 24, 1737; recorded same date. It is evident that 
 Joseph Wakefield was either considerable of a spendthrift or very unsuc- 
 cessful in business life, as after the inheritance of a comfortable fortune 
 from his opulent father, he died in January, 1745-6, and the inventory of his 
 estate, of date June 18, 1746, as presented by his widow, Mary, who was ap- 
 pointed administratrix, January 13, 1745-6, shows a total assets of £39 17s 09cZ, 
 and total liabilities of £101 6s Od. Among the items inventoried, of interest, 
 were "a pair of Linsawoolsa curtains, a pair of plush briches, and a large 
 bible." No real estate at all is mentioned, but cash £29 18s M, which 
 would indicate that he had disposed of his property and was living up the 
 principal.

 81. Thomas 4 Wakefield {John, 3 John, 2 John 1 ), son of John and Eliz- 
 abeth (Walker) Wakefield; born in Boston January 5, 1698: baptized Old 
 North Church, January 9. He removed to Ashford, Conn., where he 
 resided for several years. The Ashford Registry of Deeds record the fol- 
 lowing' land conveyances to Thomas Wakefield: Thirty-five acres from 
 
 Dr. Bart, in 1754; eight acres from Samuel Wakefield, in 1755; and 
 
 acres from Ezekiel Badger, in 1856. He married , who 
 
 died after a few 3^ears. In 1757 he deeded to his son, William Wakefield, 
 his Ashford real estate of seventy-five acres, and removed soon after with 
 his son, William, to Woodstock, Conn., and made his home with his son, 
 there, until his death, November — , 1761. He died intestate, and his son, 
 William Wakefield, and Ebenezer Williams, esq., judge, were appointed 
 administrators of his estate on December 1, 1761. Among the beneficiaries 
 of his estate were Kesia Wakefield, who received £6 12s 8d, July 6.1762, 
 from William Wikefield, administrator. Perhaps she was a daughter. 
 To his brother, Samuel Wakefield, £30 5s 6cZ, and Samuel's daughter, 
 Abigail, and son, Nathaniel, the former £1 Is Qd, and the latter a note at 
 four per cent interest. He instructs payments to be made as creditors.

 1701, in the Old North Church; married December 7, 1726, Mrs Copia Love, 
 widow of Richie Love and daughter of Rev. Thomas and Elizabeth (Turner) 
 Bridge. He died April — , 1732. The Suffolk County. Massachusetts, Probate 
 Records show (book 23, p. 258): Letters of administration granted to Copia 
 Love on the estate of Richie Love, a merchant, and (book 26, p. 417) letters 
 of administration de bonis non granted to Benjamin Gray on estate of Richie 
 Love, August 23, 1728, on account of decease of his widow, Copia, and (book 
 29 p. 305) the inventory de bonis non filed by said Benjamin Gray. Tradition 
 states that about a year following the birth of her son, Thomas Wakefield. 
 August 5, 1727, Copia Wakefield died, which conforms with the above record. 
 The Suffolk Probate Becords (book 31, p. 86, No. 6,283) show the will of Joseph 
 Wakefield, which provides: 
 
 ■'All of the remainder of mv estate, both real and personal, whatever and whereso- 
 ever the same is, or may be found. I give, devise, and bequeath the same to by dear and 
 well beloved child, Thomas Wakefield, to be holden by him, his heirs, and assigns forever.'" 
 
 There is no devise or bequest to any other person. Luke Hardy, of Boston, 
 innkeeper, is sole executor. His will is dated April 27, 1732. Joseph Wakefield 
 is described as a perriwigg-maker and book 31, p. 86, shows it was proved and 
 allowed and letters executors issued August 23, 1732. A tradition universal 
 among his descendants, relates that he was also engaged in the jewelry 
 business, a silversmith. The following copy of their certificate of marri- 
 age intentions will be of interest: 
 
 "Boston. A Purpose of Marriage between Mr. Joseph Wakefield and Miss Sophia 
 Love, both of Boston, hath stood eiitred with me for the space of Fifteen Days, and due 
 publication of such their Intention or purpose hath been made by asking their Banns 
 at three several Publick Meetings within the said Town, as by law is directed. 
 
 "Certified under mv hand the 6th day of April. Anno Domini. 1727. Married (?) 
 
 2d April 6, 1727. Samuel Buckley, 7'owh Clerk." 
 
 Note— The date of marriage intentions is later than the Boston date of marriage 
 and one or the other must be erroneous. Note, also, name of Sophia instead of Copia 
 Love, and Miss for Mrs.

 September — , 1791. 
 
 Note 3— High-crowned felt hats were worn out of doors, while the velvet skull-cap was 
 the favorite head-dress within. In 1750. cocked-hats, wigs, and red cloaks were usually 
 worn by gentlemen. Except among military men, boots were rarely seen. In winter, 
 round coats were worn, made stiff with buckram and coming down to the knees in front. 
 Hoys wore wigs and cocked-hats until about 1790. Powder was worn by gentlemen until 
 after 1800. (p. 10, Drake's Old Landmarks of Boston.) 
 
 Note 2— Joseph was a perriwig maker, and his brother Samuel, was a maker of felt 
 
 hats. 
 
 BRIDGE PEDIGREE. 
 
 Note 3. — "Rev. Thomas Bridge was born at Hackney, in England, in 1656: was regularly 
 educated at Oxford. His first place of residence in North America was West Jersey ; he 
 there also received an invitation to settle as a minister of the gospel, refused this call, 
 arrived in Boston on the 17th of March. 1704. He was regularly installed as a colleague 
 pastor with Messrs. Allen and Wadsworth, May 10. 1705. He had been settled as a clergyman 
 previously: preached at Jamaica and Bermuda: at each of these places he had received 
 an invitation to settle as a minister of the gospel. The following is an answer to a vote 
 of the First Church of Christ, in Boston, from Rev. Thomas Bridge, dated March 31, 1705. 
 
 "Dearly Beloved: — I have entertained your former invitation and this also, with 
 fear and trembling, being sensible of the greatness of the work and -my manifest infirmi- 
 ties, but I am r.ot my own and my encouragement is that the grace of God is sufficient for 
 me. I have therefore solemnly," freely, and entirely, resigned myself up to His dispose 
 and find satisfaction therein. I bless His glorious name for the acceptance my labors 
 have found amongst you: and looking upon it as mv work, that you have hearts inclined 
 to give me this call I therefore thankfully and willingly accept it. 
 
 (Church Records.) THOMAS BRIDGE." 
 
 In the unsuccessful expedition which in 1707 was made against Port Royal, he was 
 appointed by the governor and council to accompany the commissioners June 5; the 
 church voted its consent to his compliance. He sailed from Boston July 5, and returned 
 on the 1st of September following. 
 
 Mr. Bridge was upright in his dealings, of kind affections, devout in his habits, and 
 irreproachable in morals; prayer was his gift and the Bible his library; and so sincere 
 and strong were his expressions of humility that he frequently kindled a blush in the 
 cheek of the forward man and shamed the ambitious out of their love of distinction. He 
 received the degree of Master of Arts from Harvard College; his name is affixed to the 
 class which was graduated in 1675. Rev. Thomas Bridge, senior pastor of the First 
 Church, died in the fifty-ninth year of his age and the 11th of his ministry of this church, 
 26th of September, 1715." Dr. Cotton Mather says of him: "Being invited to the pastoral 
 care of a flock whose famous predecessors were to be succeeded, the light was fixed in a 
 candle-stick and shown for eleven years together, some of the rays of which we have in 
 his printed compositions." He was not easily excited, yet his patriotism was warm, and 
 he omitted no opportunity to manifest his love for civil and religious liberties of the 
 country. 
 
 "Rev. Thomas Bridge died suddenly on September 26, 1715. His funeral sermon was 
 preached by Rev. Dr. Colman; his remains were treated with particular respect. The 
 church voted to pay his funeral expenses, which amounted to £104 i$520)." Memorials of the 
 Dead in Boston, King's Chapel Burial Ground, by Thomas Bridgman, Boston. 1853: "He mar- 
 ried Elizabeth Turner, only child of a widow" who married William Patterson, founder of 
 the Bank of England. By Patterson's will (1718) he left Elizabeth Bridge £1,500, and made 
 her residuary legatee. Bridge for some years lived at Jamaica. New Providence, Barba- 
 does. etc., in the West Indies. Removed later to New Jersey. Came to Boston, with wife 
 and four daughters, March 17, 1701; was called as assistant pastor to the First Church in 
 1705, and later became its pastor. Family records, plate, etc., lost by great fire. He had 
 traveled in Europe and the East." {From History of First Church in Boston, by A.B. Etlis. 1880. ) 
 Mrs. Elizabeth Bridge, relict of Rev. Mr. Thomas Bridge, died May 23, 1722. Upon the rec- 
 ords of the First Church we find Sarah Bridge, daughter of the pastor, born March 1, 1705, 
 baptized March 4. Anna Bridge, daughter of the pastor, born October 19, 1707; died October 
 23, 1707. Thomas Bridge, son of Thomas and his wife. Elizabeth Bridge, born October 31, 1709, 
 at 6 o'clock in the morning: baptized November 6, 1709. The birth of his son was a very im- 
 portant event in this family as there had been a great deficiency of male heirs. Mr. Bridge 
 made arrangements with 'his family in England, his only brother came to America for a 
 boy who died very young of the small-pox, no male of this family in America. His first 
 place of residence in North Americf was West Jersey, where he came with his wife and four 
 daughters: Elizabeth, Ellen, Lydia, and Copia. Elizabeth Bridge, daughter of Thomas 
 and Elizabeth Bridge, was ma'rried to Bryant Parrott, February 7, 1710, by her father: 
 she died December 29, 1711. Elizabeth, daughter of Bryant and Elizabeth (Bridge) Par- 
 rott, died May 29, 1712. Ellen, daughter of Rev. Thomas Bridge, was married to Joseph 
 Marion, son of John, jr., and Ann Marion. June 7, 1711, by her father. Lydia Bridge, 
 daughter of Rev. Thomas Bridge, was married to Benjamin Gray, August 23, 1715, by her 
 father. Copia Bridge, daughter of Rev. Thomas Bridge, was married to Richie Love, 
 from Ireland, November 5, 1719, by Rev. Joseph Sewall. Children: William Richie Love, 
 born August, 1720. was married to Margaret Ross, August 7, 1746, by Rev. Joseph Sewall 
 [Boston Becords) and went to the British provinces; Ebenezer Love, born June, 1724; she 
 married secondly, Joseph Wakefield.

 The Suffolk Probate Records show that on June 17, 1735, Samuel Wake- 
 field, hatter, was appointed guardian unto his mother Elizabeth Wakefield, 
 of Boston, relict, widow of John Wakefield, late of Boston, shipwright, and 
 that thereafter, August 26, 1738, he rendered an account to the judge of 
 probate, showing expenditures amounting to £508 9s od, which was approved. 
 The Record of Suffolk Deeds shows as follows:

 November 4. 1742. quit claimed all interests in the estate of John Wakefield, jr., that said 
 John Wakefield had in the estate of Elizabeth Wakefield, sr.. to William Crocksford." 
 
 These records show that Samuel Wakefield removed from Boston to 
 Windham county, Conn., prior to 1740. The town records of Ashford, Wind- 
 ham county, Conn., show a deed of land to Samuel Wakefield October 1, 
 1754. There is a tradition that Samuel was a military man, and practiced 
 medicine and surgery in addition to his occupation as hatter and felt- 
 maker. He died at Ashford, Conn.

Fifth Generation. 
 
 James Butler was by occupation a goldsmith. He possessed whole-souled social qual- 
 ities: he was a favorite among the British officers in Boston and it is said they found a 
 welcome rendezvous in a back room of his shop. "As was natural he became politically 
 a Tory, socially a high-liver, and financially a bankrupt." He made his way to Halifax, 
 Nova Scotia, but returned poorer than when he went and was afterwards largely sup- 
 ported by his son. James. He appears to have boarded with Solomon Holman, of Sutton, 
 Mass., a relative, where he probably died. — (Extract from Butler Genealogy.)

 FIFTH GENERATION. 
 
 67 . William 5 Wakefield {Thomas,* John. 3 John, 2 John 1 ), son of Thomas 
 and Wakefield, was born . He married, firstly, at Cam- 
 bridge. Mass., December 24, 1747, Miss Mary Holmes; he married, sec- 
 ondly, November 15, 1751, Dorcas Hayward, at Ashford, Conn.; he married, 
 
 thirdly, — , at Brookfield, Vt. He was a soldier in King George's 
 
 War, and his name appears on the roll of Capt. Thomas Cheney's company 
 as serving on the expedition against Canada in 1746. He was dismissed Oc- 
 tober 31, 1747. (See Register, 1896, p. 72.) 
 
 In 1780, he removed to New Hampshire, and settled first at Lebanon, 
 where, on March 31, 1780, he signed a remonstrance against the action of 
 the town. Some time before 1785 he removed to Brookfield, where, on 
 March 18, 1785, at the first town meeting at Brookfield, he was chosen a 
 Selectman. He was still residing in Brookfield in 1789, in which year he is 
 on record both as grantor and grantee in land conveyances. About the year 
 1800 he removed with his family to Brompton, Canada, where he remained 
 until about 1815, when he returned to Brookfield, Vt. While a resident of 
 Brompton he attained considerable prominence, and the locality in which 
 he lived was named in his honor 'Wakefield Hill." After his removal to 
 Brompton he purchased real estate there, which he disposed of upon tak- 
 ing leave for his return home. It is said that his return to the "States" 
 was necessitated by the hostilities of the War of 1812.

 6J>. Thomas 5 Wakefield (Joseph, 4 John, 3 John, 2 John 1 ), son of Joseph 
 and Copia (Bridge) Wakefield, was born at his father's residence on 
 Back (now Salem) street, Boston, August 5, 1727. Upon the death of his 
 mother, in that or the following year, he was taken by his father to the 
 home of Dr. Abraham Gould, of Stoneham, on the road between Stoneham 
 and South Reading (now Wakefield), there to be kept and cared for. Accord- 
 ing to family tradition he was after a time taken home to Boston, but Mrs. 
 Gould had become so attached to the child that she could not live without 
 him, and her husband went for him again. He remained with the Goulds 
 until old enough to learn a trade, when he was bound out to Wm. Beard, 
 then living near the Parker Pratt House on Haverhill street, in Reading, 
 to learn the carpenter's trade. It was stipulated that he should not be 
 fed upon beans and that he should have sugar on his puddings. The Suf- 
 folk County Registry of Deeds (book 79, p. 155) show deed dated March 20, 1749, 
 by Thomas Wakefield, of Reading, Mass., housewright, to David Lennox, 
 conveying one full tenth part of the messuage (dwelling), etc., late of the 
 estate of Elizabeth Wakefield, deceased, at north end of Boston. Occupied 
 by D. Lenox and William Crocksford, borders northwest on Back street, 40 
 feet; northeast on land of J. Baker, 80 feet: southeast on Butler and Loring, 
 40 feet, and southwest on Thomas Crafts, 80 feet, and book 79, p. 162, shows 
 deed dated March 20, 1749, by Thomas Wakefield, of Reading, Mass., house- 
 wright, to William Crocksford, another tenth of the estate above men- 
 tioned. So on reaching manhood he disposed of his interest in the estate 
 of his grandmother, Elizabeth (Walker) Wakefield. 
 
 He married March 24, 1750, at Reading, Mass., Dorcas Pratt, daughter 
 of Timothy and Tabitha (Boutwell) Pratt. Mr. Pratt lived "side the pond" 
 on the easterly side of what is now Main street of the town of Wakefield, 
 in what was called the old "Harrison" house, on land now owned by Mr. 
 Julius Beebe. His domicile has been removed, but many of this generation 
 remember its modest yet substantial appearance. Thomas Wakefield 
 succeeded to the homestead of Timothy Pratt and there he resided on the 
 borders of the beautiful Lake Quannipowitt. This ancient dwelling of Tim- 
 othy Pratt, and his son-in law, Thomas Wakefield, had its own charms of 
 location, favored by nature and was loved as a peaceful home. The home- 
 stead estate is now owned and occupied by Mr. Charles Wakefield. He 
 continued to reside in Reading until 1756-7 when he removed with his family 
 to Souhegan, West N. H., which was incorporated and received the name 
 of Amherst in 1760. He thereafter resided at Amherst until his death in 
 September 1791. At Amherst he was selectman and town clerk, taking a 
 prominent part in the revolutionary affairs, and performing other important 
 duties. He was an honest, upright, and highly respected citizen and his 
 death was universally mourned by his townsmen. After his death his widow 
 returned to Reading, where she died November 25, 1802. Thomas Wakefield 
 was a tax-payer at Amherst as early as 1760, and took part in the renewal of 
 the charter, and as selectman certified the pledge of the citizens of Am- 
 herst, in 1776, to support the cause of the colonies. His service is stated in 
 the following certificate: 
 
 "I hereby certify that Thomas Wakefield was one of the selectmen of Amherst, N.H., 
 in the year of our Lord 1761-1762-1763-1765-1766-1767-1768 and 1769. He was town clerk and 
 first selectman in 1770. also in 1771-1776-1777-1778, and from 1779 to 1783 town clerk and first 
 selectman, covering a period of eighteen years out of twenty-six in which he held an office 
 in the town of Amherst. Mr. Wakefield also held other offices in the town during that 
 time."— (D. Russell, Town Clerk of Amherst, N. H.)

 In 1774, Thomas Wakefield deeded real estate to Joseph Wakefield in 
 Amherst, county of Hillsborough. Province of New Hampshire, and deed 
 was witnessed by William Wakefield. He was living at Amherst, N. H., 
 on becoming of age, and on April 23, 1775, he enlisted in Captain Crosby's 
 company, of Colonel Reed's regiment, and took part in the Battle of 
 Bunker Hill. Captain Crosby's return of losses shows that Joseph Wake- 
 field "lost one pair of deer-skin breeches and one cartooch-box." (See 
 SecomVs History of Amherst, pp. 369-370) also page 406, where his name ap- 
 pears in the list of soldiers and sailors from Amherst in the war for inde- 
 pendence. Vol. i, 1885, New Hampshire State Papers Revolutionary Rolls, shows 
 pay roll of Capt. Josiah Crosby's company in Col. James Reed's regiment 
 to the 1st of August, 1775, 9th Co., to-wit: 
 
 "57. Joseph "Wakefield, rank, private; time of entry, April 23; time in service, 3 
 months and 16 days: amount of wages, £7 2s 10c?. Number of miles traveled at Id, 75, 6. 
 3. Coat and blanket, £1 16s. Whole amount, 9, 5. 1 Wages received 2 Coat and Blankett 
 received, £1 16s. Amount of Stopages, £3 16s. Paid by S. Hobart. Esqr. £5 9s Id." 
 
 The same volume also shows receipt of Joseph Wakefield to Timothy 
 Walker, jr., for $4 in full satisfaction for regimental coat promised by the 
 colony of New Hampshire, which is dated October 12, 1775. After his death 
 his widow made application for a pension, which is on file at the Bureau of 
 Pensions at Washington, D. C which shows that Joseph Wakefield served 
 eight months in Captain Crosby's company in 1775, as a private, that in 
 1777, he served at Portsmouth, N. H., one month as sergeant. He rendered 
 other service in the Revolution, and held ranks of orderly sergeant and 
 sergeant major. 
 
 The Government publication of the list of suspended and rejected (Revolutionary) 
 pensions, contains the following interesting record: 'Wakefield. Relief, widow of Joseph. 
 Watertown, Jefferson Co., New York, application under act of July 4, 1836. Not on rolls of 
 Captain House in 1776. Service under Captain Crosby was before marriage and she has 
 no claim under act of July 7, 1838, for she died before it was passed."

 and 1777, and he is among the signers of the Declaration of the Inhabitants 
 
Sixth Generation.

 in Dunstable, Mass., of date November 5, 1777, he is given as a resident of 
 "Bering."' At or about the close of the Revolutionary war, he removed to 
 Windsor, Vt., where he resided until his death. "He was an honest, up-

 kind, consisting more of good deeds than of loud words." He was in senti- 
 ment a Universalist. He married November 5, 1777, Relief, daughter of 
 John and Hannah Kendall, of Dunstable, Mass., who was born May 9, 1753, 
 and died in Jefferson county, N. Y., March 17, 1837. Tradition states that 
 Joseph was a very mild, pleasant man, one who always found friends,

 though not very energetic for business: his wife, Relief, however, was all 
 energy and thrift. In June, 1798, Joseph Wakefield, sr., purchased his 
 property in Reading, Windsor county, Vt., which passed to his son, Dr. 
 John Wakefield, on the anti-mortem settlement of his estate, February 27, 
 1824; deed signed by Thomas Wakefield. 
 
 Our researches devoted to finding of official Revolutionary War records 
 to correspond with the family traditions, regarding the services of Joseph 
 Wakefield, have not been thoroughly satisfactory. The record of his later 
 services, while really of greater importance than those rendered while a res- 
 ident of Amherst, N.H., are the most difficult to identify. While a resident 
 of Dunstable, Mass., and vicinity, after his marriage, which occurred in 
 November of 1777, Joseph Wakefield may have rendered military services 
 to the colonies, from either Middlesex or Hampshire counties, having been 
 located near the boundary lines until his removal to Windsor in 1798, and 
 the following transcripts from the Revolutionary War Archives of Massachu- 
 setts, may be the official records of such military services: 
 
 "Joseph Wakefield, private, in muster and pay roll of Capt. John Morgan s company, 
 detached from Hampshire and Worcester counties to guard stores and magazines at 
 Brookfield and Springfield: enlisted February 3, 1778, discharged July 1, 1778; time of ser-

 ber 22, 1779, discharged November 23, 1779; time of service one month and one day, nine

 Joseph Wakefield appears in a list of men who enlisted from the Boston regiment of 
 militia for six months from July, 1780; Col. Proctor's return. Joseph Wakefield, private, 
 in muster and pay roll of Capt. William Bird's company. Col Webb's Suffolk and Middle-

 commanded successively by Captain Nixon and Captain John Manley, and 
 served about nine months, during which time he was engaged in a number

 Pension Department, Washington, D. C.) Peter Wakefield at the age of 
 68 applied, August 28, 1832, for a pension, which was duly allowed. He was 
 a pensioner for a number of years before his death. Honorable Josephus 
 Wakefield, of Fremont, Wisconsin, writes that Peter was a large, strong, 
 active man, weighing 230 pounds. After peace was declared Peter waged 
 a fierce warfare and refused to pay taxes for the support of the clergyman, 
 and was sent to prison for contumacy. He declared that he had fought for 
 freedom and was bound to enjoy it and so sought it by removal to Ohio. 
 Peter Wakefield adhered to the Universalist faith in early life but in his 
 later years identified himself with the Methodist Church.

 September 1, 1803, Susan Sawyer, daughter of Thomas and Susannah (Wilder) 
 Sawyer, who was born at Sterling, Mass., December 20, 1787, and died at 
 Watertown, N. Y., July 23, 1836; he married secondly, Mrs. Lucy Howell, Feb- 
 ruary 20, 1837; he died May 6, 1842. He opened a farm in 1801, in the then 
 wilderness near Watertown, N. Y., where he resided during the remainder 
 of his life. He was a democrat in politics and a Universalist in religious 
 faith. Charles Richardson, of Watertown, brother of his son Cyrenius' 
 wife, says: 
 
 "Joseph Wakefield, as I recollect him, was a man five feet eleven or six feet in height, 
 rather stooping or round shouldered, lean and wiry in appearance, somewhat angular in 
 form, with dark eyes, hair and beard, though quite gray and bald at my earliest recollec- 
 tion of him, about 1828, he at that time being under fifty years of age. He was a very 
 industrious, systematic, and thrifty farmer in his day, and a man of strictest integrity 
 and honor. He was a Universalist and a disbeliever in the infamous dogma of a literal 
 burning hell, at a time when such belief with many of his neighbors and others, of course, 
 thought it outright heresy. It was a common saying with believers that no Universalist 
 died m his faith, always renouncing it at the approach of death. In reply to this it was 
 often said 'Uncle Joe Wakefield won't renounce his religion at death or any other time.' 
 He was elected justice of the peace for his town and ever after was called 'Squire Wake- 
 field.' " Judge Lorenzo Sawyer, of California, in 1890. wrote of his Aunt Susan (Sawyer) 
 Wakefield: "She was a superb woman, built on the model of her mother physically, 
 mentally, and morally, who was a jewel of a woman. Everybody respected arid loved 
 her." Ot her mother Judge Sawyer wrote: "She was a sterling woman, one of the salt 
 of the earth."

 Joseph Wakefield served in the militia at battle of Sackett's Harbor, 
 May 29, 1813. He was so distinguished for his uprightness and honesty that 
 his obituary, published at his death in the Watertown, Times, titled it with 
 the quotation, "An honest man is the noblest workof God." In order to 
 distinguish him from his cousin, Joseph H. Wakefield, son of Thomas and 
 Elizabeth (Hardy) Wakefield, who also resided near Watertown, he, being 
 much the taller, was called familiarly "Long Joe." His will of May 4, 1842, 
 bequeathed his property to his surviving widow and children, as below 
 enumerated. Elisha Wakefield and John G. Dresser were appointed sole 
 executors.

 Nancy (Temple) Wakefield died at Reading, November 18, 1873. "a 
 woman loved and respected for her virtues, by a large circle of friends, but 
 better known and appreciated in the home she had adorned for more than 
 fifty years, in the faithful discharge of her duties as wife and mother." 
 
 Rev. Dr. William Barrows at the funeral of Deacon Caleb Wakefield, 
 said of him: 
 
 "Deacon Wakefield was a man of very strong convictions. Doing his own thinking 
 and having convictions that were his own, with a large moral element and sense of right 
 in his nature, he was prone to be firm and persistent in his positions. He was much like 
 one of our pasture oaks, always about in the same place with its open welcome shade for 
 the flocks in the summer arid with its stern bald limbs in the winter storms, patiently, 
 confidently, waiting for the buds and leaves and flocks to return, and they always came 
 back. He was also a progressive man; open to information and conviction, few men 
 knew better when to give up, drop the old and take the new. Very few men of his years 
 have kept so near to the front and among the young men of the times. 
 
 "Deacon Wakefield was a man of deep and strong sympathies and of tender feelings, 
 but outside of his own 'family, where those sympathies centered and culminated in the 
 model christian household of the fathers, his strong, sympathetic nature laid hold of 
 principles and policies and institutions, rather than persons and individuals. He was 
 more deeply interested in the community than in individual families and single, separate 
 members. What to the careless observer, or men of emotion and excitement, might 
 seem to be coolness, or apathy, was comprehensiveness in his interest. It was too wide, 
 too deep, to show the local and temporary prominence of a more limited nature. Hence, 
 probably for fifty years, no one man did more to shape the interests of the community 
 and aid and lead in those growths, financial education, moral and religious, that are an 
 honor to the town. His tender and sympathetic qualities worked in a general and whole- 
 sale way for the people rather than for persons; he felt more for the whole town than for 
 any section or class in it. 
 
 "Deacon Wakefield was a leading man. This was natural, inevitable, and proper, and 
 the process was very simple. He merely foresaw what was needed, and then showed it in 
 a plain, common-sense way. When the plans of his foresight commended themselves to 
 the people they adopted those plans and him as a leader. He did his thinking over his 
 broad-axe and saw, and inevitable immutable square. He did it following his plow, or 
 solitary among the pine trees that he loved so well. Afterward he put his ideas simply 
 to others, and they liked them and adopted them, and so he was a leading man, more or 
 less, in this community for seventy years For this reason men turned toward him, and 
 after him, just as any little brook bound for the ocean strikes for the nearst big river. 
 
 "Deacon Wakefield was a good neighbor. He was wise in counsel, he was charitable 
 with his hand; and wa< a comforter in his works for the afflicted. The orphan, the young 
 man, and the widow sought his advice, and the more they used it the more grateful they 
 were for it. He often stood between the living and the dead and executed sacred trusts; 
 and the metes and bounds he has set for others very few have had occasion to question or 
 move."

 with the original party, the then

 National Park. 
 
 In 1873, Mr. Wakefield became 
 pastor of the churches at North 
 Bloomfield and North Bristol, close by his family home, and here he re- 
 mained ten years. In 1883, he became pastor of the church in Warren. 
 Under his pastorate the new church at that place was built, and there 
 many of the dearest associations of his life were gathered, and ever must 
 remain. In 1890, Mr. Wakefield was elected to the chair of law and politi- 
 cal economy in Hiram College, and his later life here needs no record.

 only daughter of Captain Henry and Eliza (Motty) Bancroft, who was born 
 September 26, 1822, and died November — , 1877. She was a granddaughter 
 of Lieut. James and Sarah (Parsons) Bancroft, the former of Revolu- 
 tionary war fame; and on her mother's side, of Rev. Joseph and Eliza 
 (Moody) Motty, of Lynfield, Mass. 
 
 The following sketch of his life is abridged from Eaton's History of 
 Beading, Mass.: The early associations of Cyrus Wakefield were those con- 
 nected with the rugged discipline of a New England farm boy. He made 
 the best use of the school, a mile and a half from his home over the hills, 
 and by applying himself with great zeal to his studies early mastered the 
 rudiments of the common school. There were numberless projects in his 
 busy child brain, to the accomplishment of which he bent not only his own but 
 
 CYRUS WAKEFIELD, lit. 
 
 also the abilities of his brothers. He was an enthusiastic lover of nature 
 and an acknowledged leader in all athletic sports. The success of friends, 
 gone to other states, kindled in his own bosom a generous emulation. He 
 first entered a cotton mill at Petersborough, N.H., as a picker boy, where the 
 rosy hues of his ideal world were dissipated and he soon returned to the old 
 homestead. His father next sent him to live with a clergyman, to study the- 
 ology, but a few days' reading of the controversy between Calvin and Armin- 
 ius satisfied him that he could not settle the dispute. He returned home, and, 
 after a few more futile attempts to find congenial employment near home, 
 at the age of 15 years, with his parents' consent, he went to Boston and en- 
 tered a retail grocery store, but soon after secured a clerkship with Messrs. 
 Stearns, Cobb & Winslow. His aim was to earn sufficient money to allow

 him to pursue his studies in some established school, but when at length he 
 had saved SI, 000, the desire for money became still stronger and he bent his 
 energies more strongly than ever to the accumulation of property. This 
 step he regretted in after life. He did not wholly lose sight of his original 
 purpose, but attended evening school and various debating societies and

 scientific lectures, and thus laid the foundation of the general knowledge he 
 possessed. 
 
 In 1834 he entered the grocery business, under the firm name of Foster 
 & Wakefield. In 1836 the firm was dissolved and he formed a co-partner- 
 ship with his brother Enoch, under the name of Wakefield & Co., which 
 continued until 1844. A favorable purchase of a small lot of rattans led 
 him to open an office where he carried on a jobbing trade in rattan. The

 demand for split rattan for seating chairs increased until his importations 
 of Canton split rattan were known throughout the United States. This 
 branch of the trade was suspended for a time during the opium war, and 
 in 1856 he resolved to begin the manufacture of cane in this country, and 
 use the whole of the material. He began with two machines, worked by 
 hand, in Boston. A fortunate speculation, by the purchase, in New York 
 
 city, of all the available lots of rattan then offered, gave him both credit 
 and capital, and soon after he removed his works to South Reading, and 
 his business grew until at the time of his death, his manufactories and 
 storehouses covered an area of ten acres of floorage. He made profitable 
 purchases of real estate in South Reading, changing low swamps and

 meadows into valuable building lots. In 1867 he gave to the town a lot of 
 land and a cash contribution of $30,000 for a new town house in which pro- 
 vision should be made for a soldier's memorial hall, and the town accepting 
 the offer voted to change its name to Wakefield, which new name was 
 finally adopted July 4, 1868, by appropriate and interesting exercises. He 
 more than quadrupled the cost of the edifice and surrendered the keys 
 February 22, 1871. He did much to induce settlement in Wakefield, and 
 favored better school houses and enlarged facilities for instruction, and 
 inaugurated a course of free lectures on scientific subjects for the masses. 
 He was interested and a leader in various local enterprises and improve- 
 ments. He was also interested in real estate and improvements in Boston, 
 and was a director in several railroads. He had also conceived important 
 plans which death prevented him from executing. He was a man of iron 
 will and resolute purpose, combined with great physical endurance. En- 
 ergy, perseverance, and indomitable courage in the face of almost in- 
 superable obstacles, were his prominent characteristics. He had a keen 
 perception, and results that other men reached by hard thought seemed to 
 intuitively come to him. He knew human nature thoroughly, and could 
 read a man at a glance. To those who knew him best he revealed at times 
 a warm, genial, and tender nature, though to a stranger he might seem 
 distant. He was charitable, cheering the hearts of the poor with his gen- 
 erous gifts. His character and deeds are thus epitomized in the resolution 
 adopted by his fellow citizens on the evening after his death: "The valu- 
 able citizen, the prosperous merchant, the progressive and intellectual 
 leader in ornamental and architectural improvements, the friend and 
 helper of education, the chief promoter of our local noble industrial pur- 
 suits, our munificent namesake, whose numerous and generous benefactions 
 will remain his enduring memorials." He had no children and his wife, 
 who survived him but four years, left the homestead to his nephew. Cyrus 
 Wakefield.

 nent and highly respected man, and was elected a justice of the peace, 
 which in those days was considered quite an honor. In 1854 he disposed of 
 the country estate near Watertown, N. Y., and removed to Bloomington, 
 111. , where he built a commodious brick residence in the most desirable resi- 
 dence portion of the city, and engaged in the grocery business, in which he

 and even stringent in his intolerance of intemperance. He was a very 
 active and nimble man, and was said, even to the last year of his life, to 
 have been able to jump over a pole held in his two hands.

 ORIN WAKEFIELD. 
 
 man, 5 feet 11 inches in height, strong, broad shouldered, and active, and 
 was accustomed to cut and split 200 oak rails in a day. He married March 
 31, 1836, Hannah, daughter of James and Mary (Moore) McCord. She be- 
 longed to one of the pioneer families in Central Illinois and was an earnest 
 and good woman, wife, and mother; born April 4, 1814. She died at 
 their home, April 13, 1856. He married, secondly, February 18, 1858, Mrs. 
 Susan N. (Cleveland) Howard, who died at Grand Island, Neb., November 
 8, 1885, and was daughter of Moses and Polly Cleveland; born February 26, 
 1807. He was commissioned justice of the peace August 31, 1839, for a 
 term of four years, and also served his town as assessor and treasurer. The 
 Clinton Public of May 8, 1885, said of him: 
 
 "In his boyhood days Orin Wakefield v/orked in summer on his father's farm and 
 in winter attended school. He thereby obtained a good common school education, and 
 thereafter taught a few terms of school in the neighborhood. After reaching manhood 
 he obtained for a time employment in Sackett's Harbor, where he displayed and culti- 
 vated that literary taste, that love of books, which marked his after life. Here he had 
 access to a library of classic literature with which he occupied his leisure hours. So 
 well did he apply himself, that often in after years, in his western home where books 
 were scarce, he would from memory amuse and instruct his children, by relating facts of

 history, by telling the wondrous stories of Homer, and by reciting choice selections of 
 prose and verse. His life in this county is a part of its history. He held several offices 
 in DeWitt township, though not a seeker after office, and discharged every trust reposed 
 in him with ability and fidelity. In business he was straightforward and fair, and his 
 word was as good as his bond. In the pursuit of his chosen vocation, as a farmer, he 
 wrought from his goodly farm and enjoyed a competence. He made no will, as he 
 thought the law made a just distribution of a man's estate. He was a Republican in 
 politics and cordially supported good government. 
 
 "He was very careful in the training and education of his children, to whom he was 
 especially devoted. As husband and father, he was always kind, considerate, and loving. 
 His attachment for his friends, his relatives, and family was pure. true, and tender as a 
 mother's love. He was quiet and unobtrusive in his manner, yet he had the courage to 
 form his own opinions and stand by them, regardless of popular favor. He was temper- 
 ate and walked a free man. Though he was not formally a member of any church, yet he 
 was in belief a Universalis!, and in life and conduct, a Christian gentlemen— an exemplar 
 of that 'pure religion' defined by St. James. His heart ever went out in strong sym- 
 pathy for the poor and oppressed. During many 3'ears of his life.no man ever called at 
 his door for food or shelter without receiving it. No man ever had a gentler, sweeter, 
 lovelier spirit than he. His life was such, that when his summons came to join the in- 
 numerable caravan, that take their chambers in the silent halls of death, he went sus- 
 tained and soothed by an unfaltering trust. He died sweetly and peacefully, as the dews 
 fall from heaven, and as fearlessly as one draws the drapery of his couch about him and 
 lies down to pleasant dreams."

 John Maccord, was born in Argyle, Skve, Scotland. His coat-of-arms was a shield, gold 
 and black with three hearts and three'lance heads on it, surmounted by a closed helmet. 
 Families of the name still live at Tyrone and are all Presbyterians." 
 
 251. Hon. Zera 8 Wakefield, M.D., (Joseph, 7 Joseph, 6 Thomas, 5 Joseph,* 
 John, 3 John,- John 1 ), son of Joseph and Susan (Sawyer) Wakefield; born in 
 Watertown, N. Y., July 25, 1810. He was raised on the country estate of his 
 father and attended the country school, finishing' at the Watertown Acad- 
 emy, after which he taught school in Jefferson county for a few years, 
 when he accepted a position as member of the faculty of an acad- 
 emy or seminary at Montgomery, Ala. Here he taught for some years,

 teaching during the day, and writing evenings in a city public office, 
 where he earned enough to support himself, enabling him to save up his 
 entire salary, received for the professorship. Having saved a competency, 
 he resigned his position and removed to Cincinnati, O., where he entered 
 an Eclectic medical college, which must have been the Physio-Medical 
 College or the American Medical College, the former having been organ- 
 ized in 1836 and the latter in 1839. (Neither have preserved alumni lists.) 
 After graduation he removed to Pine Bluff, Ark., where he practiced for a 
 short time, then removing to Union county, where he had some acquaint- 
 ances, he settled about five miles from Eldorado, in that county. 
 
 About the time of the collapse of the Arkansas State Bank and other 
 "wild-cat" institutions, he had converted his real estate in that locality

 into currency, which soon proved to be worthless, leaving him penniless. 
 Sick at heart, though not discouraged, he built himself a log office on 
 which he hung his professional sign and began anew, in a new locality, and 
 without means, to practice his profession. His meagre quarters and shabby 
 clothing did not command for him a patronage among the best families, 
 however his unusual ability and professional success were soon recognized, 
 and he finally became the most prominent physician in the county. 
 
 It is said that during his first year he entered government land and cul- 
 tivated it himself, which did much to tide him over until he had become 
 
 professionally established. He married a widow, Neal, a lady of 
 
 culture and refinement, belonging to a fine old family of Montgomery, Ala.,

 from which city, she removed to Union county, Ark. By her he had one 
 child, a daughter, Victoria Adelaide, who died when about three and one- 
 half years old, and is interred by the side of her mother, who died shortly 
 after, in private grounds about five miles from Eldorado. 
 
 While a citizen of Union county he was highly esteemed. He was 
 elected to the office of county judge of Union county, which he held for sev- 
 eral years, being finally obliged to resign on account of the pressure of his 
 professional work. For the same reason he declined the nomination of the 
 Democratic party for state senator, which would have been equivalent to 
 an election, in that state. During the Texan war for independence he was 
 tendered the post of surgeon in the Revolutionary army, which he accord- 
 ingly declined. 
 
 In 1845 he went to Illinois and visited his brother, Cyrenius, who was 
 then located at Point Isabelle, in DeWitt county, also called "Yankee 
 Town," owing to it having been a settlement of eastern people, but now the 
 station of Pullerton on the Illinois Central railroad. While on this visit 
 he became so impressed with the superior resources of Illinois that he em- 
 ployed his cousin, Hon. Josephus Wakefield, who was then living in Water- 
 town, N. Y., to go to Arkansas to settle up his affairs there, dispose of his 
 property interests, and pack and ship his personal effects. For some time 
 he made his home with his brother, Cyrenius, who was then living on and 
 managing his country estate at Point Isabelle, and conducting a general 
 merchandise store at that place. 
 
 At the time of his removal to Illinois, the prairie state was an un- 
 drained land, and all of the lowlands were marshy, which resulted in the 
 great prevalence there of miasmatic diseases. Dr. Wakefield's great suc- 
 cess in the treatment of this class of ailments soon gained for him a large 
 practice, extending over nearly the entire state, and many yonng men also 
 sought him for medical education, in which he proved so successful, that 
 during his entire career in Illinois there was no time that he did not 
 have from one-half to a dozen students under his tutorage. In a short 
 time his practice grew to such proportions that it was impossible for 
 him, with the assistance of his more advanced students, to give personal 
 attention to the increasing number of patients who were commanding his 
 attention. As a result of this, his senior pupil, his brother Cyrenius, and he 
 formed a co-partnership for the practice and manufacture of medicine. An 
 additional building was erected, and a stock of drugs purchased. The 
 drug store was presided over by his brother Cyrenius, who put up the doc- 
 tor's prescriptions in quantity, and bottled and labelled them, with the doc- 
 tor's directions, and soon an increasing demand from Illinois and surrounding 
 states developed an industry which has since grown to extend over the 
 entire United States, Canada, and to some extent in England and the con- 
 tinent of Europe, and in 1896 celebrated its anniversary of half a century. 
 
 In April, 1848, he married Miss Adelaide Dodson, of Leroy, 111., and at 
 once began the erection of a modern home, and June 20, on the completion 
 of it, while engaged in furnishing it, preparatory to moving in, he took a 
 very severe cold, followed by pneumonia, which resulted in death in the 
 space of thirty-six hours, notwithstanding the most excellent medical at- 
 tention and skillful nursing. He died June 22, 1848. 
 
 On the dissolution of the partnership at his death, the widow being the 
 sole heir, disposed of her interests to Cyrenius, who developed the business 
 to its present proportions. Thereupon Cyrenius removed the drug store to 
 Bloomington and continued with great success, the manufacturing medicine 
 business, which originated as above stated. The widow married again, 
 and removed to the northern part of the state. 
 
 Dr. Zera Wakefield was a very tall and portly gentleman, over six feet 
 in height, and weighed between 225 and 230 pounds. He had dark and very 
 expressive eyes, complexion as fair as that of a woman, and was emphatic- 
 ally a handsome man. He possessed, in an eminent degree, the faculty of 
 making friends and shaming enemies. He was positive in his convictions, 
 though not stubborn, yet no one could be more ready to acknowledge an error, 
 when convinced that he was wrong. He died at the zenith of his success and 
 in the prime of life. No man at death was more universally lamented than 
 he. In politics he was a consistent democrat, and in religion a Universalist.

 He was a very temperate man, and not only set a good example to his asso- 
 ciates, but he circulated temperance pledges, and was very successful in ob- 
 taining signatures. 
 
 253. Dr. Cyrenius 8 Wakefield (Joseph, 7 Joseph* Thomas, 5 Joseph, 4 
 John, 3 John, 2 John,'), son of Joseph and Susan (Sawyer) Wakefield; born on 
 the country estate of his father, near Watertown, N. Y., July 12, 1815, 
 where he was reared unto manhood. He attended the district school and 
 assisted his father in husbandry until early manhood, when he went to 
 Watertown and attended the Watertown Academy, where he graduated in 
 1837, after which he spent two years teaching school in the immediate vi- 
 cinity of Watertown, from fall until spring, and assisted his father during 
 the summer. 
 
 Now at the age of 24 years, with $100 presented to him by his father, he 
 set out to win his fortune in the new West, bidding farewell to his old home 
 and his fiance, Harriet Richardson, an old schoolmate and neighbor, he 
 made his way as best he could in that early day, there being no railroads 
 and the ice of a late spring having made lake travel impossible, he traveled 
 overland to Chicago, thence by stage to LaSalle, steamboat down the Illi- 
 nois river to Pekin, and, then having arranged to have his trunk carried by 
 ox team, he therewith reached Bloomington, a distance of forty miles on 
 foot, and finally the farm of his brother, Orin, who had previously located 
 thirty miles south of Bloomington, near the village of Marian, in DeWitt 
 county. Here he labored on a farm until November, when he accepted a 
 school three miles east of Bloomington, where he taught for fifteen months. 
 In May, 1839, he returned to DeWitt, where he made his first purchase of 
 real estate, eighty acres of land, and began at once to improve it. 
 
 In the fall of 1840, he returned to visit his kinfolk and friends at 
 Watertown, N. Y., where he took a school and taught until the following 
 spring. Returning then by the lake route, to DeWitt, he taught school at 
 Diamond Grove, in Downs township, nine months, after which he taught in 
 Marian village until the spring of 1843, when he built a good frame house 
 on his farm and went back to Watertown, N. Y., and was married, August 
 17, to Harriet, daughter of Josiah and Cynthia (Tolman) Richardson. While 
 in Watertown, at this time, he also shared with his stepmother, sister, and 
 five brothers, in a division of the estate of his father, who had died May 5 
 of the previous year, receiving as his balance due, $500. Two weeks after 
 his marriage he, with his bride, started over the lake route, for their new 
 home in Illinois, where they arrived after a month's journey. 
 
 In 1845, he was visited by his elder brother Zera, who being favorably 
 impressed with the location of Cyrenius and the bright prospects of the 
 country, went to New York and bought a stock of goods and returning in the 
 fall, a building was erected and a general store started on Cyrenius' estate, 
 facing the intersection in the main roads about a hundred yards north of the 
 present Illinois Central railroad station of Fullerton. His practice rapidly 
 extended, so that he soon found it impossible to personally attend to one-half 
 of his calls. Where it was impossible for him to personally visit patients he 
 was called upon to send out his successful medicines, with written directions. 
 He constantly had a number of medical students under his instruction, 
 and among the most ardent, was his brother, Cyrenius, who was instructed 
 in both pharmacy and medicine, and he was at once pressed into service, 
 preparing the doctor's prescriptions in quantity, which were duly sent out to 
 applicants all over the state. The two brothers were in partnership in the 
 general mercantile trade and farming, both having invested their private 
 interests together. The medicine manufacturing business became so great 
 that the general mercantile department was gradually closed up, the medi- 
 cal laboratory succeeding to its store rooms. Printed labels and directions 
 were procured, and agents were established throughout the state, for the 
 convenience of patrons.

 About June 1, 1848, an agent was started with a team and a specially 
 devised wagon to travel through Iowa establishing agencies. Up to this 
 time, dwelling and laboratories had been enlarged, and the demands on the 
 two brothers in both active practice and medicine manufacturing was 
 great. On the 20th day of June, directly after his marriage, and every 
 prospect for the future was the brightest, Dr. Zera Wakefield was taken 
 with a severe cold, followed by a congestive chill and death in thirty-six 
 hours, notwithstanding the best efforts of admiring physicians and his stu- 
 dents to the contrary. After his decease, it was found that his widow was 
 the sole heir to his estate, so his brother Cyrenius bought from her his 
 brother's half interest in the partnership. 
 
 Cyrenius, now the sole owner of the business, in the fall of 1849, after 
 returning from a visit at his old home in Watertown, N. Y., he disposed of 
 his farm property and removed to Bloomington, where he purchased

 ground including the west two-thirds of the block facing the south side of 
 the public scpaare, and a two-story frame building and stable on the site of 
 his later Phoenix Hall building. On the 1 st of the following February (1850) , 
 he moved his family into the second story, the storeroom below was utilized 
 as a drug store, and erecting a building on the vacant ground adjoining, the 
 first Bloomington medicine manufactory was established. The drug store did 
 a handsome business, and the medicine manufacturing business constantly 
 increased. The following spring (1851) he purchased a store building and 
 moved it on his ground adjoining his previous purchase on the west and 
 moved his drug stock into it. In the summer he purchased the property, 
 506 East Washington street, built a two-story house and moved in before 
 winter. The following February (1852) the house took fire and burned 
 down, a complete loss, having had no insurance on it. However, he rebuilt 
 at once with brick and moved into it in the autumn.

 Posterity of John Wakefield of Boston. 
 
 On June 12, 1851, Dr. Wakefield founded the Illinois State Bulletin, a seven 
 column folio, weekly newspaper, which, according- to its title page, was "de- 
 voted to Democracy, Agriculture, Arts, Sciences, Moral, Social, Intellec- 
 tual, and Political progress and general news, "and was published, according 
 to the issue of Saturday morning, September 11, 1852, on Washington street 
 immediately opposite the court house, in the third story of ''Wakefield's 
 New Brick." The issue of the above date was Vol. II, No. II, and gives C. 
 Wakefield as proprietor. Under date of August 10, 1852, a dissolution notice 
 is published between the proprietor and former editor of the paper, who was 
 H. K. Davis, and who was superceded at that date by E. Stafford. A post- 
 script added, requests all persons knowing themselves indebted to the Bul- 
 letin in any way, to pay to C. Wakefield or his authorized agents. This paper 
 also contains the national and state democratic ticket for that year and 
 advertisements of the drug house of Wakefield & Thompson. The Illinois 
 State Bulletin was burnt out in the big fire of 1851, and was discontinued at 
 that time. His brother-in-law, Robert Thompson, and family arrived in 
 Bloomington, and he purchased a half interest in the drug store and the 
 firm name became Wakefield & Thompson. In the spring of 1856 he, con- 
 tinuing sole owner of the medicine manufacturing business, built the first 
 section of the present medicine laboratory, at 516 E. Washington street, 
 then in the suburb of the town, and Wakefield & Thompson built on the site 
 of the first purchased building on the south side of the square a large, deep 
 brick building, for their increasing drug trade. 
 
 In 1854, Dr. Wakefield built a $4,000 store building, adjoining the store 
 building of Wakefield & Thompson. However, on the following year a fire 
 imparted from an adjoining building entirely consumed the two buildings 
 of Dr. Wakefield and Wakefield & Thompson. A total insurance of $2,000 
 was in effect to balance the loss of $17,000. Notwithstanding the heavy 
 loss, however, as soon as the bricks were cold work was at once begun, and 
 in 1858 Dr. Wakefield completed the present four-story brick block, Nos. 110 
 and 112 West Washington street, on the south side of the public square, in 
 the third story of which was the locally famous "Phoenix Hall," which in 
 these early times was the leading theatre and public hall of the town. 
 Many stirring political assemblages there assembled, of the embryo and 
 infant republican party. It had a seating capacity of from one thousand 
 to twelve hundred. It was inaugurated by a republican mass meeting 
 October 22, 1858. On December 3, dressing rooms were finished, scenery 
 put in, and the name changed to "Liberty Hall," but after a short time the 
 original name was resumed. This hall was used as a theatre and public 
 hall for twenty years, and was in the height of its glory during the late 
 civil war. Leonard Swett, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen A. Douglas, and other 
 distinguished men have spoken there. 
 
 Just prior to the battle of Shiloh, which was fought on April 5 and 7, 
 1862, Dr. Wakefield, accompanied by his brother-in-law, Robert Thompson, 
 who acted as nurse and apothecary, went to Pittsburg Landing, where they 
 gave surgical assistance to the Union army for a period, the extent of 
 which is not known exactly, and immediately after that celebrated battle 
 they officiated in that capacity on transports, on the Tennessee river. Dr. 
 Wakefield was at that time past the legal age for enlistment in the Union 
 army, but in the above way he lent such aid to the cause of the Union, 
 as was within his power, at his own expense, and without pay. 
 
 Beginning in the spring of 1870 and finishing in the fall of the follow- 
 ing year, Dr. Wakefield erected his fine residence on the southwest corner of 
 East Washington and McLean streets, the outer walls built of sawed Ohio 
 sandstone, beveled edges with brick lining, and a total thickness of eighteen 
 inches. This structure yet stands, one of the most substantial and imposing 
 in the State. The inner woodwork represents in solid form, and finished in 
 oil, all the varieties of hard woods of Illinois. Having disposed of the drug 
 business, and the medicine manufacturing business had grown to such 
 proportions that the laboratories had been increased in size until they now 
 occupied over an acre of ground of solid brick structures, three stories in 
 height, and finding his business cares increasing as he physically declined, 
 in advancing years, he devolved the management of the business on his 
 oldest son, Oscar, who had been educated for the purpose, and himself re- 
 
Eighth Generation. 
 
 tired from active business and became a great traveler, visiting all parts of 
 the United States, Canada, West Indies, and Europe. 
 
 Cyrenius Wakefield never sought political office, and he accepted none 
 except membership of the board of education of Bloomington, where he 
 served three years, from April, 1872, to April, 1875, declining re-election, 
 though during that period he served it in several official capacities. For a 
 period of nine years Dr. Wakefield was a director and eight years secretary 
 of board of directors of the Peoples Bank of Bloomington, in which he was 
 a heavy and influential stockholder, death only severing his service in both 
 capacities. 
 
 Personally Dr. Wakefield, though of economical habits, was generous 
 to a fault, with his immediate family and relatives, and remarkably benev- 
 olent with all worthy destitution. The winter of 1881-85 was noted as one 
 of the severest in two score of years, and destitution in the city was un- 
 usually great. Dr. Wakefield had for years been identified as a prominent 
 member of the Bloomington Benevolent Society, but this winter he was 
 its president and never-tiring leader; being retired from active business he 
 gave his whole time to the good cause and neglected his own health and 
 lost life itself. After taking a heavy cold and suffering a congestive chill 
 on Friday night, February 12, from which he recovered, hearing of new and 
 unrelieved cases of destitution the following day, however, although in a 
 very negative condition, he gave it his personal attention, opening his 
 heart and purse. This proved a fatal step, for from this his ailment devel- 
 oped rapidly into pleurisy and pneumonia, and on the following Friday night 
 he breathed his last. The announcement of his death was the advent of 
 universal sorrow, and his co-laborers in charity, church, business, and social 
 circles met to pass resolutions of respect, sympathy, and condolence, and 
 of their recognition of his honesty, philanthrophy, and business worth, 
 of his good qualities as a neighbor and citizen. 
 
 In religion he was a Unitarian, being a founder and constant liberal 
 supporter of the local church of that denomination. He believed in the 
 innate progressive tendency of the human soul in this world and the one to 
 come, and that the higher life is gradually attained by constant and con- 
 tinual education and cultivation, extending through eternity. His life was 
 an attempt to make the precepts of Christ a reality. 
 
 In politics Dr. Wakefield was a "Jacksonian Democrat,'' though an 
 abolitionist, until the birth of the Republican party in his city in 1856, 
 when he became identified as its staunch supporter, and as such he continued 
 until his death, February 20, 1885. His beloved wife, who survived him, 
 died February 23, 1892, aged 71.

 Notwithstanding the fact that the compiler is a son of the subject of 
 this sketch, he feels justified in including the following quotations, which 
 he considers due his father and mother: 
 
 Bloomington Daily Pantograph, February 23, 1885— "The announcement on Saturda.v 
 morning of the death of Bloomington's great philanthropist. Dr. Cyrenius Wakefield, 
 was received with utter amazement. While it was known that he was criticall.v ill, all 
 hoped that he might recover. None were prepared to learn of his death, and "the an- 
 nouncement was a shock, a profoundly sorrowful surprise. 
 
 For half a century Dr. Wakefield was a citizen and a business man of this city. He 
 was an honored citizen, straightforward in all his business dealings, kind hearte'd and 
 benevolent. He was successful in business and left to his heirs a large estate, and at the 
 same time lived a noble life, a life full of good works. His honored name will live forever. 
 
 When his death became known, the first comments or remarks were not upon the 
 wealth he had accumulated and left behind, but upon his good heart, his noble, manly 
 qualities. The first thoughts were upon his benevolent, charitable acts: the great good 
 that he had done ; upon his commendable habit of looking after and caring for the poor 
 and needy. All agree that by his death, the city sustains a great loss, and his taking off 
 is universally lamented.'' 
 
 Bloomington Sunday Eye, February 22, 1885 — "Coming to Illinois all but penniless Dr. 
 Wakefield, by industr}' and persistent" effort, succeeded in building up a national busi- 
 ness, and what is more valuable a name without a stain or tarnish. His career was a 
 remarkable one. Amidst the pressure of a great business he never forgot or neg- 
 lected his duties as a citizen and a christian. Himself well endowed with the faculty of

 accumulating property, he ever had an open hand for the needy, and no distressed per- 
 son ever went to Dr. Wakefield for succor and came away without a strengthening word 
 and material aid, A community weeps today and a city mourns as the earthly tenement 
 that lately contained the spirit of Cyrenius Wakefield passes on to the tomb." 
 
 The Pantograph — "It is more than probable that the death of Dr. Cyrenius Wakefield, 
 recorded today, was the result of his devotion to the good of others. He was a man of 
 seventy years of age— a period of life at which exposure to cold is exceedingly danger- 
 ous — yet on one of the bitterest days of the. late Arctic visitation he was seen at the resi- 
 dence of a poor family south of the tileworks. whither he had gone to alleviate a case of 
 pressing distress. A few days after this came the report of his sudden and severe ill- 
 ness, and death has resulted. The gates of heaven have certainly opened wide to receive 
 a noble, self-sacrificing spirit like that. No higher tribute can be paid to his memory than 
 the plain statement of this simple fact." 
 
 The Pantagraph — ' 'Dr. Wakefield's life evidences what energy and business tact can 
 accomplish, and is an incentive to young men who would prosper. 
 
 Testimonial from the directors of the Peoples Bunk. — "The directors of the Peoples 
 Bank of Bloomington have learned with sincere regret of the death of our co-director. 
 Dr. Cyrenius Wakefield. While his loss to his family and the community is irreparable, 
 we keenly feel his loss also as a business associate. His judgment in matters of business 
 was excellent, and the prosperity of the bank is in no small degree due to him. Identified 
 with it for many years, he carefully studied its interests, and guarded the trust com- 
 mitted to him with unswerving fidelity. He knew by experience the pathway that leads 
 from poverty to fortune, and his heart was ever open to those less fortunate in life than 
 himself. A kinder hearted man. one more willing to assist those in distress, we have not 
 known. His monument is in the hearts of those to whom he has indeed been a bene- 
 factor. 
 
 "As a slight evidence of our appreciation of his excellence in all the relations of 
 life, we, his associates in business, bear our testimony to the fact that, in the highest 
 sense he was an honest man."

 The Pantagraph, February 24, 1892— "The venerable figure of Mrs. Wakefield will be 
 missed from her almost daily drives about the city. Of a most benevolent and kindly 
 nature, no weather was too severe, or no surroundings too uninviting to prevent her per- 
 sonal administering of the charity for which she was so famed, and for which the poor 
 of this city will ever have cause to bless her name. Of a very vivacious and pleasant dis- 
 position, she enjoyed the pleasures of society, and nothing pleased her more than to be 
 surrounded by young people, tor whom she had great sympathy and unbounded kindness. 
 Her large means, coupled with the generous instincts of her heart, her very presence a 
 benediction in many homes of poverty and want. One of her last acts, before her final 
 sickness, was to go over her large house and gather together a number of articles which 
 she thought she could spare and send them to the Benevolent Society. Owing to the in- 
 creasing infirmities of her age, she had not gone out as much as usual this winter, but 
 her heart and her hands were busy in caring, not only for her immediate family, but also 
 for those who had no claim of family ties upon her. Long will she be sincerely missed 
 and mourned."

 of his native town, but fitted for college, at Bradford Academy and Pinkerton Academy, 
 Derry, N. H. * * * In early manhood he had the clear conviction, personal indepen- 
 dence, and moral courage to be a member of the convention at Philadelphia, in Decem- 
 ber, 1833, at which the American Anti-slavery Society was formed, and to place his name 
 on that "Declaration of Sentiments'' which proved to be the key note of the whole long

 contest with American slavery, and a prophetic warning and promise of its downfall. 
 His name stands among the signers, next to that of John G. Whittier. In harmony with 
 that early and fearless avowal of anti-slavery faith he later took position with the de- 
 fenders of Woman's Rights, and was heartily in sympathy with the advocates of Woman's 
 Suffrage, at the outset of that movement. He received his medical education at Dart- 
 mouth college, where he took his degree in 1836. He entered at once on the practice of his 
 profession, and from that time till his death, he was almost constantly in positions of 
 public work, responsibility, and honor. From 1836 to 1844. he followed his profession with 
 assiduity and success in Oakham, Worcester county, Mass.. where he held the offices of 
 selectman and town clerk, and was elected to the legislature in 1843. In 1844, he returned 
 to Reading, and served in that town as school committee man. town clerk, and justice of 
 the peace for several years. He was elected to the State Senate in 1862, was president of 
 the South Readinglnsurance Company, and also president of the South Reading. Reading, 
 and Stoneham Gas Company. He was councilor of the Massachusetts Medical Society, 
 
 DR. HORACE POOLE WAKEFIELD. 
 
 president of the Middlesex East District Medical Society, and ex-offieio. vice-president of 
 the Massachusetts Medical Society, before which he delivered the annual address, in 1867, 
 an honor vouchsafed only once in the life of an individual. In 1864, he was appointed by 
 Governor Andrew, inspector of the State Almshouse at Tewksbury, and was resident 
 physician in that institution from 1866 to 1868. He was appointed by Governor Bullock, 
 Superintendent of the State Primary School, at Monson, Mass.. in March, 1668. and occu- 
 pied that position for nine years. Here he engaged quite extensively in farming, and 
 was elected president of the East Hampden Agricultural Society, and a member of the 
 State Board of Agriculture, from 1873 to 1882. While at Monson, he was president of the 
 Palmer Savings Bank, and director of the Palmer First National Bank. The public 
 claim on Dr. Wakefield was founded on rare ability to serve the public, for he had marked 
 elements of character. He was active and energetic. This was his nature. He was a 
 man of untiring activity, and with so much of positive and progressive energy, that his 
 presence was always recognized. His mental as his physical framework showed great 
 natural strength. He hadrare wisdom and foresight in planning work and remarkable

 persistency and zeal in carrying out any project which he undertook. His positiveness 
 of character, by which he lived up to his convictions, was more conducive to his useful- 
 ness, than to his popularity. His plainness of speech was due rather to clear convictions, 
 than to adverse feelings", for beneath a sometimes rough exterior, he carried a warm 
 and generous heart. He never withheld his aid from" any social, moral, or religious 
 cause affecting the common welfare. In religious sentiment he was an orthodox Congre- 
 gationalist. In April, 1879. he purchased the noted 'Stonewall Farm,' in Leicester, Mass., 
 and removed thither, where he remained till his death, which occurred August 23, 1883."

 born April 19, 1828; died January 6, 1871. She was educated at the town

 Church at Reading at twenty, and was married July 31, 1855, to Rev. John 
 Lawrence, who was the son of Hubbard and Mary (Goss) Lawrence, born at 
 Wilton, Me., May 21, 1814. From that time her life was "full of duties and 
 service for the honor of Christ, and the good of others in the world," in all 
 which the greatest purity and excellence of character were displayed. She 
 had a clear, single eye for observation of persons and things, discriminat- 
 ing most carefully between appearances and reality, right and wrong, 
 error and truth. Her hands were skilled in writing, painting, and needle- 
 work, and her application and diligence in these was remarkable, while in 
 domestic duties and the care of her family she had great enjoyment and 
 success. * * * Having a mind enriched by culture, and stores of useful 
 knowledge, marked also by originality and sound judgment, she was amply 
 fitted for great usefulness in all the relations of society. Her heart was 
 full of the purest, warmest affections, and she was happy in doing good."

 "While he was quite young his parents removed, with their family, to Wisconsin, 
 and there young Cyrus received a good, common school education, and as he grew older 
 helped his father on the farm and taught a district school several winter terms. After 
 obtaining his majority, in 1855. Mr. Wakefield came to Boston and entered the employ- 
 ment of his uncle, Cyrus Wakefield, whose wonderful rattan business was then beginning 
 to assume extensive proportions. Here were afforded opportunities to master the prac- 
 tical details of mercantile life, and ample scope for the growth and developmeut of a 
 mind peculiarly adapted to the comprehension and management of important enter- 
 prises in the business world. In 1865, Mr. Wakefield went to Singapore. India, charged 
 with large responsibility as the representative of his uncle in the East. Returning in

 1870, he married Miss Anna B. Pierce, of Newburyport, Mass., and went again to Singa- 
 pore, India, remaining there until the sudden death of his uncle, in 1873, recalled him to 
 America, to assume a leading position in the management of the Wakefield Rattan Com- 
 pany. He established his residence in Wakefield, and on the death of Mrs. Cyrus Wake- 
 field, sr., in 1878, he occupied the elegant mansion house erected by his uncle, and resided 
 there until his death. Mr. Wakefield was a good and true citizen of the town of his adop- 
 tion, and during the quarter century of his residence therein became more and more 
 identified with her institutions, and interested in her progress. As president and as 
 treasurer of the Wakefield Rattan Company, he displayed signal wisdom in guiding and 
 guarding its affairs, and won the esteem and confidence of his employees. He was presi- 
 dent of the Citizen's Gaslight Company, and active trustee of the Wakefield Savings 
 Bank, and chairman of the investment committee. He was president of the Wakefield 
 Lecture Association, and long a trustee of the Beebe Town Library, and always a gener- 
 ous friend of education for the people. He was president of the Wakefield Board of

 Trade, a member of Crystal Lodge, A.O.U.W., and prominent in the Masonic fraternity. 
 He was a director in the China Marine Insurance Company and the Boston Marine Insur- 
 ance Company, a director of the Boston National Bank, and connected with several other 
 financial and manufacturing institutions. In addition to his duties as treasurer of the 
 Wakefield Rattan Company he carried on an extensive trade in sugar, hemp, gum, and 
 other East India products, under the firm name of Cyrus Wakefield & Co., with houses in 
 New York and Boston. 
 
 "When the subject of a supply of pure water from Crystal Lake was being agitated 
 and the town had declined to act, Mr. Wakefield, as president and the largest stockholder 
 of the Wakefield Water Company, assumed the financial responsibility of carrying for- 
 ward the enterprise to a successful issue. The death of Cyrus Wakefield, sr., occurred at a 
 time of great financial depression in the mercantile world, and was regarded as a stun- 
 ning blow to the business prosperity and development of the town, but the coming of 
 another Cyrus Wakefield of honorable character and active public spirit, to take the 
 place of his uncle as a liberal citizen and manager of the great rattan corporation, did 
 much to restore confidence in the community, and make the return to better times more

 easy. Mr. Wakefield was a large-hearted man, not of many words, nor fond of display, 
 but ready and glad to dispense from his ample fortune, with open-handed hospitality and 
 a wise generosity. His public spirit and deeds of humanity in the town that bore his 
 family name were truly appreciated by his fellow citizens. He had an active, intelligent 
 interest in public affairs, whether concerning town, state, or nation, and was generally 
 present and voting at the local town meetings, but his deep affections were centered in 
 
 his home and children. He was a republican in politics, though he never sought political 
 office, and was an attendant at the Episcopal Church."— From Memorial Volume of Ancient

 MISS BANDUSIA WAKEFIELD. 
 
 3DO. Bandusia 9 Wakefield (Orin, 8 Joseph, 7 Joseph, 0 Thomas, 5 Joseph, 4 
 John, 3 John, 2 John 1 ), daughter of Orin and Hannah (McCord) Wakefield. "On 
 the 11th of January, 1844, in their farm house in DeWitt county, 111., was 
 born to Orin and Hannah Wakefield a daughter, Bandusia. Her farthest 
 memory back, before three years of age, was of being asked what she 
 would be when she grew up, and she promptly replied, "A schoolma'am." 
 Her mother taught her early to do all kinds of work, required in a farm 
 house, aad she also helped sometimes in the field, walking after the plow 
 and dropping corn by hand. From her father, whose leisure hours were 
 usually devoted to reading aloud to his family, or relating what he had 
 read, came a stimulus and aid to intellectual culture, while uprightness of 
 life was taught not only by precept but by example in this home, whose at- 
 mosphere was one of kindness as well as of intellectual and religious free- 
 dom. She attended the district school, pursued the studies there required,

 and in addition, with the help of her brother George, studied Latin and 
 higher mathematics. She looked forward to graduation from college, taut 
 had given up the "schoolma'am" aspiration of her early childhood. How- 
 ever, destiny decided in favor of the ''schoolma'am," and in the fall of 1861, 
 one week after the opportunity offered, she intered the Illinois State Nor- 
 mal University and pledged herself to become a teacher. She graduated 
 from this school June 23, 1865, having been employed as a teacher in its 
 normal and model school departments four terms before graduating. She 
 continued to teach in the model school the following year, but resigned be- 
 fore its close on account of ill health. 
 
 Her health for a number of years did not permit any long continued 
 work in the school room, but she taught occasional short terms in different 
 places until the spring term of 1871, when she took charge of the mathe- 
 matical department of the Illinois State Normal University during the 
 absence in Europe of the regular professor, Thomas Metcalf. During the 
 next two years she had charge of the high school in Winterset, Iowa, and 
 the next year following, of the high school in Emporia, Kans. She taught the 
 fall term of 1874 in the high school of Farmington, 111., but resigned this 
 position to accept one in the high school of Bloomington, 111., where she 
 completed the year. She was then elected by the state board of education 
 a member of the faculty of the Illinois State Normal University, and 
 taught in this school the following six years, resigning this position in the 
 spring of 1881 to join the household of her brother, George, in Sioux City, 
 Iowa, and help to care for his motherless children. Here she is still, at the 
 date of this writing, August 24, 1896. She has said good-bye to the school 
 room, taut not to teaching, for this work has, in one way or another, taeen 
 continued. She has been much interested in botany as well as in art, and 
 during a few years painted in oil studies of over three hundred species of 
 wild flowers. But the deeper questions of life have always been of the 
 greatest interest. During the greater part of her life she has been a 
 member of the Unitarian Church. In April, 1890, she joined the Theo- 
 sophical Society, and to the cause for which it stands, that of universal 
 brotherhood, she is devoted, and her present teaching is on theosophical 
 lines."

 resolutions of the Sioux City bar to be spread upon the record, said of him: 
 
 "In the exercise of his many virtues there was neither ostentation nor parade. He 
 was a true man. Wherever he went he made friends, for to know him was to be bound 
 to him by the ties of friendship. He was open and straightforward, honest and faith- 
 ful, and when he declared his purpose and intention, all could conflde therein with safety. 
 He shrank from no duty and was ever ready to do his share of the world's work. As a 
 lawyer he was conservative, and his judgments were not hasty, but clear. He dis- 
 tinguished clearly between the right and the wrong. He steadfastly maintained his con- 
 victions and was firm as the rock in his adhesion to the right. He was not demonstrative 
 in his sympathies, but tender as a mother's love. His fortitude was great and his hope 
 boundless. He has suffered for years, yet how bravely he fought the battle against the 
 fell destroyer. Death. How uncomplainingly he bore the great pain of the closing months 
 of his life, and how hopefully he spoke of his recovery, as certain when all others had 
 despaired. His was an optimism that never despaired and never failed, yet mortal 
 strength could not always endure. He is dead, but he died a conqueror."

 Wakefield; born April 7, 1846, at Point Isabelle, DeWitt county, 111. 
 His parents removed to Bloomington while he was yet an infant. He was

 State Normal and Wesleyan Universities. After the completion of his 
 general education he took a course of study at the Eclectic Medical Insti- 
 tute, of Cincinnati, Ohio, but has never practiced medicine. Upon the 
 completion of his medical studies he went into the laboratory of his 
 father's manufacturing establishment, where he became chief compounder. 
 In 1870, upon the retirement of his father from active business, Oscar suc- 
 ceeded him to the full management of the business, and has since continued 
 in that capacity. Upon the death of his father, in 1885, Oscar became the 
 chief executor, and since that time, with the assistance of his brother. 
 Homer, he has managed the entire undivided estate of his father. Oscar 
 Wakefield was married August 12, 1868, to Agnes, daughter of Henry

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 JOHN WAKEFIELD, OF MAINE, AND HIS POSTERITY. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 1. John 1 Wakefield, the progenitor of the Maine family of Wake- 
 fields, was born in England. The first American record we have of him is 
 of date January 1, 1637, when at a town meeting held at Salem he was 
 assessed fifteen shillings as an inhabitant of Marblehead, colony of Massa- 
 chusetts Bay. (Town Records of Salem, 1634-59.) 
 
 This leads us to the decision, that as he probably did not come over in 
 winter he must have come at least as long before as the summer or fall of 
 1636. At a town meeting held at Salem December 26, 1638, among the sev- 
 eral portions of land laid out at Marblehead, on the 14th of the same 
 month, John Wakefield received his first American land grant of four acres 
 "on the Neck, 1 ' John Endicott and others signing the grant. (Original Book 
 of Grants of Salem, Essex County Inst., vol. ii, p. 74.) 
 
 Owing to the unfortunate incompleteness of the early town records of 
 Salem, Marblehead, Wells, Scarboro. and Saco (Biddleford), we are forever 
 deprived of any record of the date of his birth, the marriage to his wife, 
 Elizabeth Littlefield, the place where it was solemnized, and the same of 
 the birth of their children. In 1657 the house of Joseph Bowles, then town 
 clerk of Wells, Me., was destroyed by fire, and with it the first volume of 
 the town records. Prior to that, as will be seen, we have practically 
 nothing, and even after that time, while the marriages are quite complete, 
 the births and deaths are very meager. Prior to 1641, John Wakefield lived 
 in Salem. (Marblehead was set off as a separate town from Salem in 1648.) 
 
 Our first record of John Wakefield, in Maine, is of date 1641, when he, 
 with his brother-in-law, John Littlefield, was granted, under the authority 
 of the Ligonia patent, what is now known as the "Great Hill farm." The 
 hill at that time extended much farther into the sea that it now does and 
 with the projecting land at the eastern end, was called "The Great Neck." 
 Neither of the mentioned grantees took possession of this grant, perhaps 
 owing to uncertainty as to its being located within the bounds of the said 
 grant. 
 
 John Wakefield settled in the town of Wells, where he attained consid- 
 erable prominence. We have records of his services as commissioner and 
 selectman in 1648, 1654, and 1657. The name of his father-in-law, Edmund 
 Littlefield, occurs in the same capacity with his in each instance. 
 
 John Wakefield purchased Drake's Island, of Stephen Batson in 1652, 
 where he removed in that year and resided there for two or three years. 
 He then removed to Scarboro where he purchased land and resided for 
 several years. From Scarboro he removed to that part of Biddleford, 
 which is now Saco, where he continued until his death. He was in Wells 
 July 2, 1657, when he witnessed a grant to John Barretts. On the 3d day of 
 April 1661, John Wakefield, then of Scarboro, but previously of Wells, 
 sold to Mr. John Gooch, of his estate in Wells, one track of marshland lying 
 on the north side of the harbor, and butting upon the sea southeast, upon 
 the Mussell Ridge west, and joining to a tract of upland on the north side, 
 which he also sold to Mr. Gooch, with the marsh lying on the west side of 
 John Cross's upland, and is bounded by an old fence. The marsh was by 
 estimation about ten acres and the upland about two acres and a half.

 Posterity of John Wakefield of Maine. 
 
 On September 2, 1661, John Wakefield witnessed a deed by John Smyth, 
 of Dunsta, to Jas. Gibbins, of Saco. May 31, 1664, John Wakefield and his 
 daughter Mary witnessed a deed by Mogg Hegone, of Sacoe River, to Maj. 
 Wm. Phillips, of Saco, and in July 1666, he was on a "jury of trials," at 
 Wells, from Saco. (See York Deeds, book 1, folio 123, and book 2, folio 46.) 
 (Maine Historical Society Collection, vol. i.) 
 
 On September 10, 1670, Elizabeth, wife and attorney of John Wakefield, 
 "late of Marblehead but now of Saco," "alias Winter Harbor," planter, and 
 being by him constituted his lawful attorney, and empowered by one instru- 
 ment or letter bearing date August 9, 1670, sold for a consideration of ten 
 pounds, to John Meager, of Boston, in New England, merchant, a piece or 
 parcel of land, "situate, lying, and being in the township of Marblehead, in 
 New England, upon ye neck of land that lyethon the south side of the great 
 harbor, containing four acres, or more or less, as it was laid out to my said 
 husband by the select townsmen of Marblehead, and allotted by a grant of 
 the town of Salem." Acknowledged September 10, 1070; recorded October 
 17, 1749. (Essex County Registry of Deeds, vol. xciv, p. 18.) 
 
 On September 22, 1666, at a general town meeting at Biddleford, the 
 order of seating in the meeting house was voted on, and "Goodwife Wake- 
 field" was assigned section six. The tax list of Biddleford for June 25, 1672,

 LITTLEFIELD PEDIGREE. 
 
 Edmund Littlefleld, said to have been born in Exeter, N. E., 1591; not improbably 
 came to Boston with Wheelwright's friends in July, 1637, accompinied by his son An- 
 thony. His wife, Anne or Annis, and six of their other children did not accompany 
 them, but sailed later and reached Boston in the ship Bevis in May, 1638. Littlefleld was 
 a warm partisan of John Wheelwright, and probably was early, at Exeter, N.H. He had 
 assigned him in the early division of land twenty-one acres of "upland," and was a sub- 
 scriber to the combination. Littlefleld accompanied Rev. Wheelwright to Wells in or 
 before 1645, and was there a man of distinction, serving as selectman and commissioner, 
 serving as such with John Wheelwright. John Wakefield, and others. He died Decem- 
 ber— ,1661. His will of December 11, made good provision to his wife, Anne, and among 
 other children to his daughter, Elizabeth Wakefield. The inventory gave the value of his 
 estate at ,£588, 13s., id. His wife, Annis, died December, 1677, and her will of December 
 12, makes among others, bequest to her daughter, Elizabeth Wakefield, and grand- 
 daughter, "Katterine Wakefield." (Maine Wills, and York Deeds, book iv, part 1, folio 25.)

 In 1746-7, the vessel in which the Wells and Arundel troops were being 
 transported to Annapolis, was cast away on Mount Desert, in a snow storm, 
 and seventy or eighty perished, but our subject and three others were saved, 
 after suffering' terribly, as there was no house on the island. They built a 
 boat out of such material as they could get, and by the aid of a gun and a 
 little ammunition, saved from the wreck, they preserved life, by killing a few 
 fowl. Part of their number embarked in their frail craft, arriving safely 
 at Townsend, where aid was obtained and a boat sent to the island for those 
 left behind. The house built by John Wakefield, jr., had in it, in 1795, but 
 thirty-six squares of 7 by 9 glass, embraced in seven windows. He was one 
 of the original members of the Second Congregational society, founded in 
 Wells June 14, 1750. He died intestate, and his widow, Ruth, was appointed

 James Wakefield, who was a farmer near Wells, was one of those early 
 settlers who thought more of the House of God than their own. He died 
 October — , 1779, and his house was appraised at $73 and his pew in church at

 UNCLASSIFIED FAMILIES AND PERSONS OF THE MAINE BRANCH, 
 WILLIAM WAKEFIELD. 
 
 William Waketield, supposed to be a brother of John Wakefield, of Wells, sailed from 
 Southampton, Eng., in May, 1638, on ship "Bevis," Robert Batten, master, with wife or sister, 
 Ann— William aged 22, and Ann aged 20 years. He is supposed to have been a follower of 
 Rev. John Wheelwright, as he and wife, or sister, Ann, and Annis Littlelield, all came 
 over together as proteges of Stephen'Dummer. of Newbury, who was one of Wheel- 
 wright's most prominent supporters. William Waketield was admitted freeman March 
 1(5, 1638-9, and was in Hampton in 1039. He was one of the young men who received lots. 
 He was first town clerk of Hampton, chosen October 31, 1039: held office about three years; 
 was also chosen a "lot layer" for one year. In December, 1639, he received a grant of 150 
 acres of land. He was appointed December 10, 1641, a commissioner to grant summons 
 and attachments in all civil actions, etc. In 1641 or 42, he, with another, were directed to 
 join with Salisbury in laying out a road to that town. He also served his town as "Wood 
 reeves," as on May 4. 1644. William Palmer was chosen as his successor, he having re- 
 moved from town about this time, although he is elsewhere on record as having removed 
 to Newbury in 1646, The only record we have of him after his removal to Newbury is of 
 date October 5, 1646, when he witnessed a deed by Stephen Dummer, of Newbury, to his 
 son-in-law, Henry Sewall, marriage portion. Witness was deposed November 24, 1646, be- 
 fore Richard Saltonstall, of Boston. (See Historic Hampton, JY. H., Dow, Vol. 2, Colonial

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 JOSEPH WAKEFIELD, OP DUDLEY, AND HIS POSTERITY. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 Of the parentage and ancestry of Joseph Wakefield there is consid- 
 erable uncertainty. According' to one tradition, he, Jonathan, and Benja- 
 min, of Sutton, were sons of William Wakefield and Rebecca Littlefield, of 
 Wells, Me., and while there appears no records to disprove the above tra- 
 dition, there is another tradition that Joseph came from Boston and was a 
 descendant of the progenitor of that family. 
 
 1. Joseph Wakefield, who was born "about 1702-3, and was by occupa- 
 tion a "cordwainer," must have settled in Sutton prior to 1726, as in book 17, 
 p. 322, of the Worcester County Registry of Deeds, of Massachusetts, we glean that 
 on June 13, 1726, that Joseph Wakefield, late of Sutton, now a resident near 
 Oxford, bought 128 acres of land, on the road to Woodstock, from William 
 Dudley, Esq., of Roxbury. Joseph Wakefield married about 1725-6, Mary, 
 daughter of George Robinson. He died October — , 1746, and his will, dated 
 October 2, and proved November 1, 1746, was sworn to before Joseph 
 Wilder, judge. ( Worcester County Registry of Probate, vol. ii, p. 527.) His wife, 
 Mary, was appointed executrix, and was granted the use of all "improve- 
 ments" as long as she remained single. The plan of division was as follows: 
 William, eldest son, 20 acres; Mary, his daughter, 17 acres; Asahel, second 
 son, 43 acres; Joseph, third son, 38 acres; Simeon, fourth son, 38 acres; John, 
 youngest son, received 44 acres. The division of the estate was dated Octo- 
 ber 1, 1747. (Vol. ii, pp. 643-4.) The inventory of the estate of Joseph 
 Wakefield, taken March 19, 1757, and returned May 19, 1757, places his real 
 estate at forty acres, and valued at £23 6s 8cl, and cash book accounts £12 
 12s Id, total £35 19s 3d.

 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 2. William- Wakefield (Joseph. 1 ), son of Joseph and Mary (Robin- 
 son) Wakefield, was born on his father's estate, on the highway between 
 Oxford, Mass., and Woodstock, Conn., September 20, 1726. He married, 
 about 1750-1, Abia, daughter of Joseph Trumbull, of North Gore, who was 
 on tax list in 1717, and died before 1770. He died July 3, 1790. His wife, 
 Abia, died June — , 1795. His will of June 29, 1790, proved September 7, 
 1790; he mentions being "weak in body" at date of making of will. He 
 appointed his sons, Joel and Tubal, executors, and made provision to his 
 wife Abia, of dwelling and one-half of his lands, the balance being divided 
 between Tubal, Joel, Simeon, etc. Son Joel resigned as co-executor June 
 
Second Generation. 
 
 139 
 
 29, 1790. (Worcester Count;/ Registry of Deeds, vol. xxiii, p. 97.) On November 
 14, 1796, occurred the division of lands held in common between the widow, 
 Abia, and the heirs of Tubal; Lot. Marsh, guardian to heirs of Tubal. Men- 
 tions Tubal's wife, Abigail, and the agreement reads: "If any dispute arises 
 about the quantity of any parcel of land, an 'artist' was to be secured for 
 the survey thereof." Signed by John Larned, Abigail Larned, Joel Wake- 
 field, Simeon Wakefield, Luther Wakefield, Solomon Wakefield, and David 
 Wakefield, of Dudley. (See vol. xxvi, p. 397, Worcester County Registry of 
 Deeds. ) 
 
 June 10, 1795, after the death of Abia Wakefield, her estate was divided 
 between their children, as follows: The farm was given to eldest son, 
 David, on condition that he was to make a certain payment; the balance 
 was divided between Solomon, Simeon, Joel, Tubal, Mary, Martha, Rachel, 
 and John Larned (step-father of the heirs of Martha, who was probably 
 then deceased).

 3. Asahel 2 Wakefield (Joseph 1 ), son of Joseph and Mary (Robin- 
 son) Wakefield, was born on his father's estate on the highway between 
 
 Oxford, Mass.. and Woodstock, Ct., September 15, 1728. He married 
 
 Lydia, daughter of David Harwood, sr. He was a husbandman or farmer, 
 and probably resided upon part of the land which he inherited from his 
 father. Worcester County Registery of Deeds, vol. xli, page 137, records a deed 
 of twenty-eight acres of land sold to his brother, William Wakefield, for 
 £20, dated May 6, 1752. It appears that his wife, Lydia, suffered a short 
 period of mental derangement, as in vol. viii, p. 121, Worcester Registry of Pro- 
 bate, David Harwood was appointed guardian of Lydia Wakefield, of Sutton, 
 a person who is "non compos," and the same volume, p. 454, under date 
 July 2, 1764, Lydia Wakefield is represented as restored to her right mind 
 and guardian is discharged. Asahel Wakefield died intestate in April, 
 1763, and June 27 of the same year the inventory of his estate was recorded, 
 and David Harwood, his father-in-law, was appointed administrator. The 
 estate was valued at £157 16s 10cZ and was divided as follows: One-third to 
 David Harwood, jr., guardian of the widow, and two-thirds to the children, 
 or their legal representatives, in four parts, two to the oldest son and one 
 each to two others, the division be4ng dated July 2, 1764. We fail to find 
 any official records giving statistics of the children, but the following are 
 assumed to be their children:

 "In 1798 a Baptist Church was formed in what is now Webster, Mass.. and Elder 
 Solomon Wakefield was ordained to the work of the gospel ministry, not, however, as 
 pastor, but with the understanding that he would labor with the church in word and 
 doctrine. He was a member of the Baptist Church in Thompson, Conn., and from the 
 fact that he received ordination in the Robinson neighborhood, two miles east of the old 
 meeting house, it would seem that he was licensed to preach by that church. Elder 
 Solomon Wakefield was one of the five brothers who settled between the present railroad 
 station and the east village in Webster. He owned the land where the south village is 
 now located, and he lived there. He is spoken of, by the few who remember his ministry, 
 as a goodly man and an acceptable preacher in his day. He was zealous and earnest in 
 his manner of speaking. He believed and taught that ministers should receive no com- 
 pensation for their services, not so much as a present. He held and preached Armenian

 views of doctrine. The more strictly Calvinistic portion of the church took exception to 
 this and would, not infrequently, when opportunity was given at the close of the sermon, 
 as was then the custom, express in warm terms, their dissent from the doctrine preached 
 from the pulpit.'' He died March 23, 1821, aged 66 years. She died February 9, 1814, aged 
 53 years. (See Chandler Genealogy.)

 BENJAMIN WAKEFIELD, OP SUTTON, MASS. 
 
 Benjamin Wakefield, of Sutton, Mass.. brother of Jonathan, of 
 Sutton and Dudley. (See record of Jonathan for possible parentage and 
 ancestry.) We have from the Worcester county, Mass., Registry of Deeds 
 the following" interesting records of Benjamin Wakefield: 
 
 "William Dudley, esq., of Roxbury, for £180, deeded to Benjamin Wakefield and 
 Jonathan Wakefield, husbandmen, both of Sutton. 200 acres, more or less, on the east side

 Dated July 31, 1729, and delivered in presence of Martha Little and Rebecca Walker. Ac- 
 knowledged September 18. 1735; recorded October 26, 1736. Book viii, p. 74.)

 Benjamin Wakefield, son of Benjamin and Ann (Taylor) Wake- 
 field, was born in Sutton, Mass., November 14, 1734. He was very enthu- 
 siastic in the cause of American independence, as his extensive records as 
 a revolutionary soldier show. The revolutionary war archives of Massa- 
 chusetts give the following records of him: 
 
 Benjamin Wakefield appears on a receipt for advance pay given to Captain Barnes' 
 company, in Colonel Woodbridge's (Hampshire county) regiment, dated at Cambridge 
 July 30. 1775. His name appears as private on the company return of Captain Barnes' 
 company. Colonel Woodbridge's regiment, dated September 28,1875; belonged to Gage- 
 borough. We find his name on a list of men mustered in Worcester county, to serve in 
 Captain Fish's company. Colonel Shepard's regiment, by a return made by Thomas New- 
 hall, muster master, enlisted for "during war," mustered May 19, 1777 : also in muster re- 
 turn of Captain Fish's company, dated February 3. 1778; belonged to Sutton; enlisted for 
 Sutton; reported enlisted for eight months. His name is also on the muster roll of Cap- 
 tain Fish's company for July and August, 1777-8; term of enlistment, "during war ;" re- 
 ported "on guard," also on muster roll, dated Providence, November 13. 1778; reported on 
 duty. Also on a return of Captain Thomas Fish's company ; service on or before August 
 15, 1777. Roll made up to February 1, 1779. We find him entered as private on muster roll 
 of Captain Thomas Fish's company. Colonel William Shepard's (3d) regiment, for March 
 and April, 1779; enlisted April 1, 1777. for "during war;'' roll dated Providence, May 5, 
 1779. His name appears on Captain Moore's company, Colonel Shepard's regiment, April 
 1, 1777, to December 31, 1779; credited to town of Sutton. 
 
 His name appears on the return of Cant. William Moore's company. Col. William 
 Shepard's (4th) regiment, as private, made up from January 1 to December 31, 1780. en- 
 listed April 14, 1777; term of enlistment "during war"; service, 11 months, 29 days: belong- 
 ing to Oxford. Dated. Mountain Huts, West Point. January 23. 1780, (?). Transferred to 
 corps of invalids, December 23, 1780: also on Continental army pay accounts of Captain 
 McFarland's company, invalid corps, for service from December "11, 1780, to December 
 31, 1780. Reported from Colonel Shepard's regiment; also on pay abstract of Capt. Moses 
 McFarland's company, invalid corps, at Boston: service for October. December, 1780: 
 enlisted for "during war"; dated July 16, 1781. 
 
 It is probable, from the above records of Benjamin's military services, 
 that he wrecked his health in the service of his country, and that is doubt- 
 less the reason why we have no records of his marriage or posterity. He 
 may have died in the service, while far from his native home. We have no 
 records of his death. 
 
150 Posterity of Jonathan Wakefield of Sutton. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 JONATHAN WAKEFIELD, OF SUTTON, AND HIS 
 POSTERITY. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 1. Jonathan Wakefield, brother of Benjamin, of Sutton and Dud- 
 ley, was, according to the tradition of some of his descendants, the son of 
 William Wakefield, who married Rebecca Littlefield, and grandson of John 
 Wakefield, who married Elizabeth Littlefield, all of Wells, Me., and brother 
 of Joseph, of Dudley, who married Mary Robinson. We, however, fail to 
 find any records to show any connection with Joseph, and Worcester Deeds 
 record much to lead us to the belief that Jonathan was the son of John and 
 Elizabeth (Walker) Wakefield, of Boston, whose birth is recorded Septem- 
 ber 19, 1695, and he is perhaps the one who married, firstly, Susannah Trask, 
 December 10, 1719, at Salem. In the above mentioned records the name is 
 written John instead of Jonathan, but as these names were often con- 
 founded in early records, that fact would not have much significance. The 
 first unquestioned record we have of him comes from the town records of 
 Andover, Essex county, Mass., where he married, June 22, 1733, Miss Abi- 
 gail Smith, of that town. She married, secondly, November 6, 1794, John 
 Earned, of Oxford, Mass. 
 
 It is evident that Jonathan and Benjamin Wakefield obtained a part 
 of their landed possessions in Dudley, by inheritance, as the Regist ry of Deeds 
 of Worcester County, in book vi, p. 204, under date of September 12, 1735: 
 "Benjamin Wakefield, of Sutton, and Jonathan Wakefield, of Dudley, in 
 consideration of £100, convey sixty-eight acres in Dudley to Simeon Cham- 
 berlain, of Dudley, 'in our own good and proper right of inheritance.' " He 
 was tax assessor in 1756 and 1757. Jonathan Wakefield was a farmer, and 
 according to the war record of Sutton, he was in the British service be- 
 tween 1755 and 1761. Probably in the campaign of 1759, in the conquest of 
 Canada, under General Wolfe, or the expedition against Ticonderoga and

 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 3. Jonathan 2 Wakefield (Jonathan 1 ), son of Jonathan and Abigail 
 (Smith) Wakefield; was born probably at his father's homestead at Dudley, 
 October 16, 1736. He was a farmer, and resided in Sutton, Mass. 
 
 Jonathan was engaged with his father and his brother Amasa, in the 
 colonial service for various lengths of time, between 1755 and 1761 (French 
 and Indian war; see military record of Jonathan, sr.) According to the 
 Massachusetts Revolutionary War Archives, Jonathan Wakefield enlisted in the 
 colonial army, from Captain Putnam's company, and Colonel Holman's regi- 
 ment, for nine months. He was mustered June 29, 1775. He is recorded 
 as belonging to Sutton, Mass. "Colonel Jonathan Holman (a veteran of the 
 British service in Canada), raised from the vicinity of Sutton what was 
 known as the "Sutton Regiment," long before the battle of Lexington, and 
 as soon as the news of that fight reached them, they sprang to the saddle, 
 and, riding all night, reached Concord just as the British were retreating. 
 This regiment was destined to a very long and severe service, from its very 
 early rally to the cause, ending finally at the great battle of Saratoga, 
 nearly two years later." 
 
 According to the History of Sutton, they were incorporated into the armv of General 
 Washington at Cambridge (probably at the above given date, June 29. 1775 f, and began 
 the march with him soon after the evacuation of Boston, proceeding first to Rhode Island, 
 thence to Long Island, where they were engaged in battle, thence up the Hudson River 
 to White Plains, where in that hard fought battle the "Sutton Regiment'" bore a promi- 
 nent part; though this much reduced it, it returned the largest list of men after the battle. 
 During the seige of Boston it was this regiment from which the detachment was made 
 for the fortification of "Nook's Hill." on the night of the 9th of March, 1776. Dorchester 
 Neck is very uneven, abounding in hills and valleys. Nook Hill in the northwestern part 
 of it, less than half a mile from the Height, was a very important location for a batterv, 
 on account of its proximity to Boston. 
 
 It was an eminence fifty feet or upwards above the sea. Washington made up his 
 mind to fortify it. and Saturday night. March 9. sent a detachment for that purpose. It 
 was a cold, blustering night and the soldiers were so imprudent as to build a fire for their 
 comfort. This was seen by the British in Boston, who opened a severe fire upon them, and 
 Jonathan Wakefield was one of four soldiers and a surgeon who was killed by the same 
 shot of a cannon ball. The scene of this tragedy is often spoken of as Dorchester Heights, 
 but more properly called Dorchester Point. 
 
 Jonathan Wakefield married May 21, 1760, Miss Anne Wheeler, daugh- 
 ter of and Wheeler; and sister of Abel Wheeler, sr., 
 
 who married Jonathan's sister, Rebecca Wakefield. She died December 24, 
 1829, aged 89 years, and is interred at the North Newport, New Hampshire, 
 cemetery. She is described as a woman about five feet tall. Jonathan Wake- 
 field died intestate, and his brother Amasa was appointed administrator of 
 his estate. The Worcester Registry of Probate, vol xiii, p. 548, and vol. xiv, p. 319, 
 records the inventory of same, totaling £313 9s 3d, real and personal, and on 
 April 9, 1778, Amasa Wakefield gave his balance of £1 10s OcZ, which was al- 
 lowed the widow, and he was discharged. Vol. xix, p. 427, under date April 
 19, 1782, Jonathan, jr., and Josiah, his son, receipted for their part of the 
 estate, to John Elliott, their guardian.

 Havens, Wheelers. Stows, and others, and settled in the northwestern part of Newport- 
 and southwestern part of Croydon. Their center of business, where they had a store, 
 school house, tannery, and mechanic's shop, was on the road between Maj. Josiah Wake- 
 field's place, north of Northville, and the Croydon line. As this colony were nearly all 
 Baptists the locality was soon known as Baptist Hill."

 122. Charles Austin 5 Wakefield [Jonathan,* Jonathan, 3 Jonathan,* 
 Jonathan 1 ), son of Jonathan and Rebecca (Haven) Wakefield; born at 
 Cornish, N. H., October 18, 1817. Resided at New Haven, Conn., Dalton, 
 Mass., and Pittsfield, Mass. He came to Boston, Mass., from Cornish, N.H., 
 on attaining his majority; published several engravings from his own de- 
 signs, with which he traveled extensively over the United States. He also 
 lectured on electricity and the Morse telegraph for some time, when it was 
 still a wonder and a mystery to the masses. He married September 6, 1842, 
 Cynthia Chapin, daughter of William and Lydia Robinson, who was born 
 April 18, 1821, and died February 1, 1880, in Pittsfield, Mass. They were 
 both constituent members of the Tremont Temple Baptist church. In 1845 
 he moved to Elizabethtown, N.Y., where he bought a farm, built a house, 
 and raised poultry on a large scale, for the Boston market. As erious de- 
 pression in business caused him to fail. He had a scientific mind and was 
 the ''father of many inventions." He had one in his mind at this time, and 
 after settling with his creditors he took his family to his wife's native 
 town to remain temporarily, until he perfected the "Wakefield Hand Corn- 
 Planter." He then removed to New Haven, Conn., and built up a large 
 business. As soon as he was "on his feet" he went to Elizabethtown and 
 paid all his old debts (though settled), with interest. This scrupulous 
 honesty was characteristic of his whole life. As his business increased he 
 removed to Dalton, Mass., in 1857, where he built a reservoir and shop for 
 manufacturing his planters. (This is now the Renfrew cotton mills.) 
 Later the Civil war came on, completely destroying the larger part of his 
 business which was in the south. Besides this, the hand-planters were soon 
 superceded by horse machines in the west, and he was driven into financial 
 reverses. He sold his property to pay his creditors, bought a small farm 
 in Pittsfield, Mass , about the year 1863, and with characteristic energy set 
 about retrieving his fortune, and in a few years was free from debt. Here 
 he invented the "Wakefield earth closet" and built a shop for their manu- 
 facture. Undaunted by losses by war and fire, he built up a good business 
 in the closets, which he carried on in connection with his farming, until his 
 infirmities compelled him gradually to lay down his activities. His farm, 
 which he had drained and brought to a high state of cultivation, and which 
 was well known among poultry fanciers, for its purity of stock, was sold at 
 his wife's death, and he made his home with his daughter and son until his 
 death a few years later. While not highly educated in the schools, he was 
 extremely intelligent and well informed; his scientific turn of mind making 
 him a searcher after knowledge, a deep thinker and reader. His travels, 
 added to his general information, made him an excellent and interesting 
 companion. He was kind-hearted, helpful, with a fund of good common 
 sense, strictly honorable, energetic, and apt, doing quickly and well what-

 ever he undertook. He was a scientific farmer, having a natural gift in 
 horticulture and forestry, and was active in the Grange movement from its 
 early history. He died August 17, 1893, respected by all who knew him.

204 Posterity of John "Wakefield of New Haven. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 JOHN WAKEFIELD, OP NEW HAVEN, AND HIS 
 POSTERITY. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 1 . John Wakefield, the progenitor of the New Haven branch of 
 the American Wakefields, was one of the earliest settlers and proprietors 
 of New Haven. It is not known whether he came over in the colony with 
 John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton in 1037, or not; or whether or not he 
 was one of the original band that founded New Haven in 1638. 
 
 The first record we have of him is of date November 4, 1640, when at a meeting of the 
 general court at New Haven, he testilied in behalf of Edward Adams, who was accused of 
 perjury by Arthur Halbridge, but duly acquitted. 
 
 On the 5th of August, 1642, the general court convened, and John Wakefield, the 
 miller, testilied that Richard Beach did some work at the mill insubstantially, which was 
 ordered made good. 
 
 John Wakefield's name is included in a list of free burgesses, of August 5, 1644. 
 
 At the general court, held the loth of March, 1648, the names of people as they were 
 seated in the meeting house was read and was ordered recorded; on the south side of the 
 door John Wakefield, (2) and on the other (woman's side) Sister Wakefield. 
 
 It is supposed that in 1646 or 1647. John Wakefield was in Watertown, Mass., as in the 
 inventory of the estate of Nathaniel Sparrowhawke. who died June 27, 1647, among the 
 Watertown Debts "Good" appears the name of John Wakefield. Again, upon the marriage 
 of Marj' (Wakefield) Dibble to James Hillyer, on June 28, 1677, she is referred to as the 
 "daughter of John Wakefield, of Watertown." He, however, isnotrecorded in Watertown 
 as a resident of that place. 
 
 At a meeting of the general court on the 3d of January, 1648, (New Haven) the Court 
 ordered that "John Wakefield keep the mill, until George Laremore attend this meeting," 
 to consider the repairing of the meeting house. 
 
 A court held at New Haven the 6th of March, 1648, John Wakefield, among others, was 
 complained of, on account of his fence being down, which he was ordered to mend. 
 
 At a court held at New Haven, the 6th of November, 1649, John Thompson was com- 
 plained of for suffering his hogs to go abroad in the summer, contrary to order. John 
 Wakefield testified in his behalf. 
 
 John Wakefield died in 10(50, and his will was proved December 4 of the 
 same year. At a court of magistrates held at New Haven, 27th of May, 
 1661, an inventory of the estate of John Wakefield, of New Haven, de- 
 ceased, amounting to £116 3s IfZ, was presented, and by the widow of the 
 deceased, then attested to contain ye whole estate of her late husband to 
 ye value of 10s, to ye best of her knowledge. Will Tompson and Roger 
 Allen, upon oath, witnessed that "ye value was just, according to their best 
 light." 
 
 After his death his widow, Ann, married, October 17, 1661, James Clark, 
 of New Haven, who, in 1039, formed, with Governor Eaton and company, 
 the civil compact of June 4. They removed to Stratford before 1069, and 
 may have had children at both places. She died in 1095.

 James Wakefield, son of , supposed to be a descendant of the 
 
 Maine family. 
 
 Our first record of the name we get from Mill's Statistics of South Carolina, p. 261 : 
 "To convince the inhabitants that the conquerors were seriously'resolved to banish all 
 who refused to become subjects, an additional number, who still remained prisoners on 
 parole, was shipped off on the 15th of November, 1780. On this list, from Charlestown, 
 S. G, by Lord Cornwallis, was James Wakefield." The same list also occurs in Ramsay's 
 History of South Carolina, and with the note: "Most of these were entitled to the benefits 
 of the capitulation of Charlestown.'' The prominent citizens of Charlestown given in 
 this list were banished by the British, and shipped to St. Augustine, Fla. Johnson's 
 Traditions of the Revolution, p. 317, also gives a full account of the above, and mentions 
 John Wakefield, quartermaster, but Ramsey's History of South Carolina. 1809. p. 373, vol. i, 
 in that of 1785, p. 459, gives the name as James, which is probably correct. 
 
 Our next record of him is of date 1784, when he mortgaged his property on Milk 
 street, in Boston, to J. Davis. {Suffolk Deeds, libre 145, folio 242.) In 1786 he mortgaged 
 property in Boston to E. Wyer. wife Ann, released dower. (Suffolk Deeds, libre 158, folio 
 176.) In the Boston Directories for 1789 and 1796, he appears as a painter, residing on Milk 
 street. A Boston record describes his familv as composed of "one male, 16 years and 
 upward, two males below 16, and four females, including heads of family." In 1793 he 
 gave mortgages, to Benjamin Dearborn and Elizabeth Cole, on property on Milk street, 
 his wife. Ann. releasing dower. (Suffolk Deeds, libre 175, folios 217 and 255, and libre 177, 
 folio 148.) From Bounds and Valuations in Boston, October 1, 1798, we are able to locate 
 James Wakefield's property as 1.108 square feet on the south side of Milk street. Benja- 
 min Dearborn's property intervening between his and theater alley on the east.) The- 
 ater alley extends from 53 Milk street, to Franklin street.) His property consisted of 
 two frame dwellings, his own three stories in height, with twenty-nine windows, and 
 the other occupied by Joseph Stokes. 416 square feet area, one story "high, eight windows, 
 valued at £150, the former at $4,000.

 They have no children. 
 
 Samuel Alexander Wakefield, born about 1820, son of , of 
 
 New Brunswick. He was one of a large family. His mother was a physi- 
 cian, and was killed by being thrown from her horse. Of his brothers, one 
 was a physician and another a minister. Prior to 1855 he removed to Sauk 
 Rapids, Benton county, Minn., and on December 30, 1855, he married Miss 
 Ursula Rose Baumel. The following year he removed to the present site 
 of Cold Springs City, in the town of Wakefield, Stearns county, Minn. On 
 May 27, 1858, he was elected chairman of the board of supervisors, and 
 afterwards county commissioner of Stearns county. About 1863 a mining 
 expedition, captained by Samuel A. Wakefield, was organized and proceeded 
 overland to the Rocky Mountains, but after reaching the mountains some 
 of the party decided to abandon the enterprise and return to Minnesota. 
 Mrs. Wakefield, with her small children, accompanied them back to Minne- 
 sota, from whence she continued in correspondence with her husband, who 
 also contributed generously to her support for some time, until tidings from 
 him abruptly ceased, and rumors of his fate were afloat. He was never 
 after heard from, nor his remains recovered: therefore, it will never be 
 known whether he was murdered by Indians or treacherous Mexican 
 "greasers." His widow and surviving son now reside in Omaha, Neb.

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 THE ANGLO -IRISH-AMERICAN FAMILY. 
 
 A Consolidation of the Posterity of the Emigrants 
 Matthew, David, and Andrew Wakefield. 
 
 COMMON ORIGIN AND ANCESTRY. 
 
 Practically all, if not entirely all, of the Wakeflelds that settled in 
 Pennsylvania, and as will be seen, others settling later in New York and 
 New Jersey, emigrated directly from Ireland, and are descendants of a com- 
 mon ancestor who came from England before the middle of the seventeenth 
 century. A traditional history, universal among this branch of the family, 
 and one that varies but little, in its essential features, has been received 
 by the compiler of this work, from descendants, now scattered in all parts 
 of America. An epitome of this tradition begins with the emigrant from 
 England to Ireland. It appears that he was an officer of an English army 
 stationed in Ireland for the purpose of protecting a forcibly established 
 colony there, and that he shared with this colony a division of land, and 
 that trouble was encountered in holding the granted estate until the com- 
 plete subjugation of Ireland by Cromwell in 1049-50. One representative of 
 this family has named the Norman invasion as the occasion of the settle- 
 ment of his ancestors, but this is doubtless erroneous, and the plantation of 
 Ulster, before the middle of the seventeenth century is probably the real 
 incidence. History tells us that in the plantation of Ulster, Tyrone, Done- 
 gal, Armagh, Caven, Fermanagh, and Derry, were parcelled out among 
 English and Scotch colonies. The site of Derry was granted to citizens of 
 London who fortified and armed it. As an illustration of the difficulty en- 
 countered in holding said estates we quote from history: 
 
 "In 1635 the English army was disbanded, and the Catholic Insurgents, in 1641, at- 
 tacked Dublin and soon became masters of the whole country. Ormond was forced to 
 surrender Dublin and the inextricable knot awaited Cromwell's sword." 
 
 The first official record of a Wakefield in Ireland, we find in the 
 Remembrances of the Exchequer, Dublin; John Wakefield is mentioned under 
 date 1637. (See Records of Ireland, p. 610, pub. 1821-1825.) 
 
 In The Landed Gentry When Cromwell Came to Ireland, by John O'Hart, 
 Dublin, 1881: Among the enrollments of the adjudications in favor of the 
 1,649 officers, formerly designed the "49 lots," preserved in the office of 
 the chief, John Wakefield is enrolled. 
 
 These adjudications refer to the arrears of the commissioned officers 
 who served Charles I before the 5th of June, 1649, in the various wars of 
 Ireland. The index locorum of these enrollments is given on pp. 638-647 of 
 the Records of Ireland, above mentioned. (See 3d ed. of O'Hart's Irish 
 Pedigrees.) 
 
 It is confirmed by the above official records that the above-named 
 commissioned officer in the English army of Charles I was the landed pro- 
 prietor of official record, which establishes without doubt the truth of the 
 family tradition as to their original progenitor. It is proper to say here 
 that Charles I succeeded his father, James I, in 1625, and it was he who so 
 much persecuted Puritans in England, and was responsible for their enor- 
 mous emigrations to New England. Many of these non-conformists, seeing 
 
214 
 
 The Anglo-Irish- American Family. 
 
 in Ireland an opening for colonists, apparently equal to that of America, 
 were easily induced to join the English army for its conquest. 
 
 We have no official records of the family relation of this progenitor, 
 but we feel justified in assuming that the family tradition, that two 
 brothers were fellow colonists in Ireland, one of whom attained prominence 
 in the army, and the other in politics, is correct. In confirmation of this 
 we herewith submit a record, which doubtless refers to the latter: "Alder- 
 man Thomas Wakefield, Ulster's office, Dublin, buried in St. Werburgh's 
 church, February 19, 1658." (See p. 1,063, General Armory of England, Scot- 
 land, Ireland, and Wales), by Sir Bernard Burke. It will be seen that his 
 armorial bearing indicates his descent, either directly or indirectly, from 
 the Yorkshire, England, family. 
 
 There is a family tradition that one of the early colonists in Ireland, 
 Wiliiam Wakefield, emigrated to America at a very early date, but not 
 being infatuated with American pioneer life, he returned, and settled in 
 Ireland. If this tradition is fact, it will be seen that there were probably 
 three original Anglo-Irish emigrants. Turning to the records of American 
 families, we find the above tradition substantiated, in part, by records of a 
 William Wakefield, who sailed from Southampton, England, in May, 1638, 
 on ship "Bevis," Robert Batten, master, with wife or sister, Anne, William 
 being aged 22, and Anne, 20 years. He was probably a brother or cousin of 
 John Wakefield, of Wells and Biddleford, Me., as he accompanied on the 
 above voyage, Annis Littlelield, wife, and several children of Edmund 
 Littlelield, father-in-law of the said John Wakefield. (See p. 136.) This 
 William Wakefield, after eight years of residence in Hampton, N.H., and 
 Newbury, Mass., disappears entirely from American records, and may 
 have returned to the mother country, and fulfilled the tradition above 
 given. 
 
 We have failed to obtain from the present day descendants, in Ireland, 
 any data, necessary to the completing of the line of descent to either 
 themselves or their American cousins, so we again take up the traditions 
 of the latter: Doctor Albert Wakefield, who we will assume to be the son 
 of the emigrant and military chieftain, John Wakefield, was a surgeon on 
 the staff of William of Orange, when on his Irish invasion, and at the battle 
 of the Boyne, July 1, 1690, he dressed the wound of William with such 
 skill, and so won his confidence and good will, that on the completion of the 
 conquest, at the battle of Aughrim, July 12, 1691, by William's request, an 
 estate, comprising the site of the battleground, was granted him, and is 
 now the property of the male line of descendants. Mr. David B. Pilch, of 
 Jersey City, N. J , a descendant, has in his possession a piece of William's 
 waistcoat that was saved by the surgeon and handed down to posterity as a 
 memento of the historic occasion. Referring again to history, we find a 
 detailed account of the incident that is not without interest to the reader, 
 and especially to the descendants of Dr. Albert Wakefield: 
 
 "Some of the English dragoons approached the river and were fired upon by the 
 Irish. They returned the Are, and while the attention of both sides was engaged by the 
 skirmish, a party of Irish cavalry moved slowly down towards the river, and halted be- 
 hind a low hedge, and then wheeling about again retired. The movements of the king 
 and the group of officers accompanying him had been observed in the Irish army, and 
 two field pieces were sent down concealed in the center of the cavalry. The guns had 
 been placed behind the hedge when the horsemen withdrew, and when William rose from 
 the ground and mounted his horse fire was opened. The first cannon shot killed two 
 horses and a man by his side. The next grazed the King's right shoulder, tearing away 
 his coat and inflicting a slight flesh wound. Had the aim been slightly more accurate, or 
 had the gunners fired with grape instead of round shot, it is probable that the whole 
 course of history would have been changed. The rumor spread through both armies 
 that the king was killed, but the wound was a slight one, and having had it hastily bound up 
 the king rode quietly through the camps in order to show the men that the wound was 
 not serious." (Battle of Boyne. Henty's Orange <& Green: A Tale of Boyne and Limerick. 
 P. 118.) 
 
 Let us now turn to history in search of the conditions and circum- 
 stances under which the family estates were first granted, surrendered, and 
 later re-granted. 
 
 "It will be .remembered that in 1642, in consequence of the dimensions which the 
 Rebellion had then assumed, confiscated between two and three million acres of Irish 
 soil. Debenture bonds were issued payable in land when the country should be recon- 
 quered. Bonds for a million acres had been taken up, and money raised on them, for the 
 
First Generation. 
 
 215 
 
 troupe sent to Ireland previous to Cromwell's arrival. Similar debentures were issued 
 afterwards for Cromwell's own army, not thrown upon the market like the first, but given 
 to the soldiers in lieu of their pay. The intention was that the men who conquered Ire- 
 land should remain to hold it. The country was to be occupied, in old Roman fashion, bv 
 military colonies. * * * The Cromwellia'n conquest had been in fact a resubjugation of 
 Ireland by England and in the name of England. English authority had been, for the 
 first time, completely established over the whole Island. The new protestant gentry 
 were shrewd men of business who meant to incur no more risks than they could help. 
 They had come to Ireland to push their way by English energy and enterprise. 
 
 "So rapidly under the Cromwellian despotism had the wealth of Ireland increased, 
 that having been brought to the lowest depths she was now able(1663), after defraying all 
 her own expenses, to settle on the King a permanent revenue of 30,000 a year. 
 
 "So went matters all through the year 1687. and for ten months of 1688. when the news 
 came that the Prince of Orange had landed and that the King was a fugitive. Except in 
 Ulster, among the persecuted Presbyterians, the English could count on no friends in 
 Ireland; and without a party among themselves, would be too weak to resist the reviving 
 energy of the native race. 
 
 "The uncertainty was at an end. William's overtures were construed into a con- 
 sciousness of weakness, and all Catholic Ireland was called under arms. The property of 
 the protestant farmers and gentlemen was generally seized. Cows and sheep were driven 
 off; 'all was gone in three months, to the value of a million of money.' What could not 
 be consumed or carried off was destroyed, that 'the damned whigs might not have the 
 benefit of it' The gentlemen throughout Ulster armed their tenants as well as they were 
 able, and re-established their disbanded militia." 
 
 "The repeal was passed. Every one who held an estate under the acts of settlement 
 was dispossessed. The old proprietors were re-instated in their inheritance, and made 
 the happv owners of the wealth which had accumulated there. The rejected colonists 
 were to receive compensation when they could get it. The Irish Catholics were thus re- 
 stored to all which they had lost by the rebellion of 1641. There remained to be recovered 
 the forfeitures from the Elizabethian wars and the six counties of the Ulster settlement. 
 Process taken upon these was as complete as it was summary. Almost all the leading 
 Protestants in Ireland were comprehended by name in one sweeping act of attainer. 
 Two thousand six hundred land owners, commencing with the Archbishop of Dublin 
 and the Duke of Ormond, were declared guilty of adherence to the Prince of Orange, and 
 to have forfeited their estates by treason. The conditions of 1651 were reversed. Then 
 all Catholics were held responsible for the rebellion of 1641; now all Protestants were 
 partisans of the Prince of Orange (1689).'' 
 
 "To King William himself the Irish Protestants were enthusiastically grateful. He 
 had come in person to fight their battle, and he had been wounded in their cause. Wher- 
 ever he went he freely risked his life, and he was known to be incapable of being influ- 
 enced by mean considerations.'' 
 
 "Among the Scotch and English settlers in Ireland none had deserved better than 
 the Non-conformists, none had been worse rewarded. When the High Church part}' went 
 with Ormond and the Kilkenney Council, at the close of the rebellion of 1641, a Puritan 
 army recovered the country to England." 
 
 "The Ulster Calvinists had won immortal honor, and saved England half the labor 
 of re-conquest, by their share in the defense of Derry. In them there was a vigorous and 
 living power in antagonism to Popery." 
 
 "The Irish established a clergy, the Irish peers and the great land-owners were ardent 
 High Churchmen, dreading nothing so much as to be confounded with the Cromwellians, 
 to whom most of them owed their estates: and, though reconciled outwardly to the revo- 
 lution by the'want of discrimination in James Parliament, which had not distinguished 
 between them and the Calvinists, yet they were loud as ever against principles of church 
 government which tended, as they were pleased to say, to Republicanism." 
 
 "And now commenced the Protestant emigration, which robbed Ireland of the 
 bravest defenders of English interests, and peopled the American sea-board with fresh 
 flights of Puritans. Twenty thousand left Ulster on the destruction of the woolen trade. 
 The stream had slackened, in the hope that the law would be altered. When the prospect 
 was finally closed, men of spirit and energy refused to remain in a country where they 
 were held unfit to receive the right of citizens, and thenceforward, until the spell of 
 tyranny was broken in 1782, annual ship-loads of families poured themselves out of Bel- 
 fast and Londonderry. The resentment which they carried with them continued to burn 
 in their new homes/and. in the War of Independence, England had no fiercer enemies 
 than the grandsons and great-grandsons of the Presbyterians, who had held Ulster against 
 Tyrconnell." 
 
 "In 1795, the word had gone out among the Defenders to resume work and secure 
 the arms of the Protestant gentry. First in Connaught. and then gradually in all parts 
 of Ireland, bodies of men, who seemed to have started out of the earth, were' out at night 
 on the prowl like wild beasts. Houses were burnt. When arms were demanded and were 
 not delivered, death was the punishment. Barracks were surprised in the darkness. 
 Parties of militia were attacked even in open day with desperate courage." 
 
 The above are miscellaneous extracts from The English in Ireland in the 
 Eighteenth Century, by James A. Froude, New York, 1873. It will be noted 
 that the explanation is complete: First, why the estate in Ulster was sur- 
 rendered by the family; second, why the second generation became adher- 
 ents of the Prince of Orange; third, why the family seat was transferred to 
 Connaught: and fourth, why, other than the successors to the estate, emi- 
 grated to America. It is probable that at least Alderman Thomas Wake- 
 field was a High Churchman, as the aldermen were appointed by the 
 viceroy, and Ormond, the holder of this office from his appointment by 
 Charles, was a High Churchman, and probably made his appointments 
 only from that class.

 The Anglo-Irish- American Family. 
 
 According' to information imparted by Thomas Wakefield (son of the 
 emigrant, David,) to his grandson, David H. Wakefield, of Redstone, Penn., 
 and by him transmitted to the compiler, Thomas Wakefield's grandfather 
 (father of David) was named Robert, who was a son of Robert. The elder 
 Robert, died in England in the prime of life from a wound received in 
 battle; was an only child. 
 
 In harmony with the statement of Dr. William Wakefield, of Hum- 
 boldt, Kans., that David Wakefield, the emigrant, was a nephew of his 
 ancestor, the emigrant Matthew Wakefield, sr.; and that of the late Mr. 
 Campbell Wakefield, of Heyworth, 111., that his ancestor, the emigrant 
 Andrew Wakefield, was a nephew of the senior Matthew Wakefield, taken 
 together with the official and traditional records given above, we must 
 arrive at the following' conclusion: The emigrant from England to Ireland 
 was John Wakefield, who had (possibly among' other children), Dr. Albert 
 Wakefield, who had an only son, Robert Wakefield. Robert had (possibly 
 among other children) Robert Wakefield, Matthew Wakefield, the emi- 
 grant, who married Bridget Banks, and Andrew Wakefield, sr., who mar- 
 ried Margaret Reddick, and remained in Ireland on the family estate in 
 Aughrim, where he died. 
 
 In order to bring together into one genealogical classification, the pos- 
 terity of the descendants of the emigrants, David, Matthew, sr., and An- 
 drew, jr., we will begin the American families and trace descent from a 
 common progenitor, Robert Wakefield, son of Dr. Albert Wakefield, who is 
 noticed above. Of Robert we can give no records of birth, marriage, or 
 death, except as above given.

 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 5. David 3 Wakefield (Robert, 2 Robert 1 ), son of Robert and 
 
 Wakefield: born , on the family estate, on the road, between Aughrim 
 
 and Ballinasloe, Galway county, Ireland; he married, , Mary Jane, or 
 
 Elizabeth, daughter of Jeremiah Wade, a wealthy landed proprietor, and 
 neighbor of the Wakefield family, in Galway county, Ireland. David Wake- 
 field emigrated to America between 1768 and 1773. According to tradition, he 
 was implicated, with his brothers, in the plot against Catholic rule in Ire- 
 land, and when detected, David was hid by his wife in a hogshead of clothes, 
 with which she embarked on an American-bound vessel, and was three 
 days out at sea before the captain of the ship knew that he was on board. 
 By this means he escaped to America. Upon his arrival, he first settled in 
 Path Valley, situated between the Tuscarora and Conecocheague moun- 
 tains, in Perry county, then Cumberland county, Penn., where some of the 
 younger of the children were born. After residing there for some fifteen 
 or sixteen years, he settled on the north of the Conemaugh, opposite Squir- 
 rel Hill, then in Cumberland county, but now in Indiana county, and 
 where the village of Centreville now is. After remaining there for some 
 two years, finding the title to the land was defective, they again removed, 
 five miles northwest, to near the head of the west branch of Richard's 
 Run, in Wheatfield township, some time between the years 1788 and 1791, 
 where they remained, and where David died, and is buried, no gravestone 
 marking the place. After his death, his widow r went to live with her 
 oldest daughter, Joanna, who married William Carroll, and resided in the 
 Wolf Creek settlement, in Mercer county, where she died.

 1768, in Kishacoquillas valley, Penn., and moved to Nelson county, Ky., in 
 1787. In emigrating on this long journey through the wilderness, their per- 
 sons, provisions, cooking utensils, and other effects, were transported on 
 horseback. The "long pot" which was thus carried from Pennsylvania is 
 still preserved as a relic by their grandson, Marcus A. Wakefield. Twenty 
 miles north of Bardstown, on Ashes creek, they purchased one thousand 
 acres of as productive land as any in Kentucky, densely covered with beau- 
 tiful timber of poplar, walnut, oak, hickory, ash, etc. 
 
 Here, in the midst of Indians, they built their first house, in the form 
 of a fort, of heavy logs. The doors and floors of this primitive dwelling 
 were of "puncheons," hewn from timber with the axe; the most fashionable 
 furniture, also, was split from some suitable tree, and the shell of a hickory 
 served as a cradle to rock their firstborn child. The father carried his rifle 
 when he went to work, and in his absence the wife and children kept the 
 doors closed with strong bars, for protection against the savages. For 
 many years they experienced the dangers, privations, and inconveniences 
 peculiar to pioneer settlers in those early times. There was neither shop, 
 store, postotfice, school, or church within a long distance of home, and trav- 
 eling through the wilderness was difficult and dangerous. 
 
 As Christians and Presbyterians worthy of their Scottish ancestry, as 
 soon as there was sufficient assistance they aided in the erection of the 
 first Presbyterian church in that region, called the "Big Spring Presbyte- 
 rian church." For want of wagons, the hewn logs had. to be dragged to- 
 gether out of the woods. But the people, hungry for the bread of life, were 
 willing to work, and without architects, and with an incredibly small 
 amount of money, they completed their sanctuary, and made it resound 
 with the voice of prayer, praise, and the preaching of the word. John 
 Wakefield died in 1812, aged 54 years. His wife, Elizabeth Wakefield, died 
 in 1842, aged 71 years. Having survived her husband for thirty years, she 
 remained a widow, on the old homestead, having charge of the younger 
 children, left fatherless between the ages of three and sixteen years.

 ALEXANDER PEDIGREE. 
 
 I. John Alexander, the first American ancestor of this family, was born in Scotland 
 about the year 1700. "He was a son of Thomas Alexander, a prominent man in Lanark 
 from 1710 and upwards. " He married Margaret, daughter of Ronald Glasson, of the city of 
 Glasgow. He emigrated first to County Armagh, Ireland, and after residing there for a 
 few years he came to America in 1737: this two-fold emigration was probably occasioned 
 by the persecutions to which the Presbyterians were subjected to. first in Scotland and 
 later in Ireland. He landed at Philadelphia or New Castle. Del., and made this first set- 
 tlement in West Nottingham, Chester county. Pa. After a few years they removed first 
 to the neighborhood or Carlisle, and afterwards to the vicinity of Chambersburg. in 
 Franklin county, Pa. He and his wife were supposed to have died at the latter place. 
 His son: 
 
 II. James Alexander, second son. was born about the year 1726. being about ten years 
 old when his father removed from Ireland. Having removed with his father's fanrily to 
 Cumberland county. Pa.: he there married Rosey, daughter of Robert Reed and his wife, 
 whose maiden name was Garner or Gardiner. Rosey R. Alexander died in 1792. James 
 Alexander, a man remarkable for energy and enterprise, determined to explore the in- 
 terior valleys and become the founder of a new settlement. After a dangerous journey 
 of eighty to a hundred miles northward through forests and water gaps in mountain 
 ranges along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, and along the roaring Kishacoquillas. 
 along the midst of the beautiful valley from Jacks mountain to Stone mountain, he in 1755 
 laid his warrant on a thousand acres of land. Then he returned to the region of Carlisle 
 and removed his family and effects on backs of horses to his new location. He cleared 
 and .cultivated his land. James Alexander served in the Commissary department of 
 Washington's army at Valley Forge in the memorable winter of 1777-8. For these ser-

 in 1791, and was buried at the brick Presbyterian church of West Kishacoquillas. Among

 county, Perm., March 6, 1799. When Samuel Wakefield was one year old, 
 his father moved to Westmoreland county, and located three miles from 
 Armagh, a small Irish village. At a later date he moved farther west, and 
 
 Sertn *Jl*#ck t>1k, Iffy 
 
 made a home in the wilderness. Though then but seven years of age, Sam- 
 uel assisted in the cultivation of seventy acres of land. Owing to limited 
 opportunities in early life, Samuel Wakefield was dependent for an educa-

 tion on his own efforts and capacity for independent self-acquirement of 
 education. In this no one was more successful than he. Without instruct- 
 ors and without tutors, he conducted for himself a systematic course of 
 study, which he continued into the higher collegiate branches. In 1813, 
 Dr. Wakefield, being then fourteen years of age, enlisted as a drummer boy 
 in a company serving at Black Rock, near Erie, Penn., in the war then 
 being waged against Great Britain. 
 
 When seventeen years old he left home to make his own way in the 
 world. His first effort was a subscription school, which he founded and 
 successfully taught in Ligonier valley, near Port Palmer. When eighteen 
 years old he was licensed by the quarterly conference of the Methodist 
 Episcopal church, in the bounds of the Pittsburg conference, as a local 
 preacher. In this capacity he ministered for fourteen years. In 1834, he 
 joined the Pittsburg conference. From this time he served in the regular 
 ministry until 1880, when he was placed on the superannuated list. West 
 Newton, Penn., was his last appointment, and there he continued his resi- 
 dence until his death. He was a founder of a large part of the Methodist 
 Episcopal churches throughout western Pennsylvania. He first began the 
 services of his denomination in West Newton, and notwithstanding the 
 opposition and coldness with which he and his people were received by 
 other denominations, he continued his labors until he had established a 
 flourishing society of Methodists in that place. 
 
 Doctor Wakefield was a good Hebrew, Greek, and Latin scholar. His 
 attainments in systematic theology were of a high order. He was the author 
 of Wakefield's Systematic Theology, first published about the close of the late 
 rebellion, and which is recognized throughout the M. E. church as an au- 
 thority. It is a text-book in several theological seminaries in his own 
 church, besides being used as such in seminaries of other denominations. 
 He also abridged and prepared for publication, Watson's Theological Institutes, 
 by request of the publishing committee of the M. E. Publishing House, of 
 New York, but the committee, on learning that he was preparing his own 
 work, above mentioned, did not publish the latter. In September, 1893, he 
 prepared for press and published a volume of sermons entitled Gospel Tid- 
 ings. Dr. Wakefield also published a work on moral philosophy, but on 
 account of the increasing infirmity of years he did not publish it during his 
 lifetime. He was also the author of a grammar of the English language, 
 which bore his name, and which was declared by critics to be a work of 
 decided merit, being also adopted as a text-book by many schools. 
 
 His musical talents and tastes, which were of the finest quality, showed 
 him the necessity of improvement in this important part of public worship; 
 and so in his untiring industry and zeal, he set to work to remedy this defect, 
 with the result that he prepared and published Wakefield's Sacred Music, in 
 1828. He prepared in all, seven different works on music, as follows: Eccle- 
 siastical Harmony, American Repository of Sacred Music, Western Harp, Christian 
 Harp, Minstrel of Zion, Sacred Choral, in German, and Select Melodies. These 
 musical works have been universally popular in the Methodist churches of 
 the United States. 
 
 In addition to his literary and musical abilities, Dr. Wakefield possessed 
 considerable mechanical genius, and this he also devoted to his church by 
 constructing, with his own hands, the first pipe organ built west of the 
 Alleghany mountains, and which is still in use in the Wakefield Chapel, at 
 Uniontown, Penn. 
 
 The Allegheny College conferred upon him, the honorary degrees of: 
 D.D. in 1854, and LL.D. in 1856. 
 
 On the 21st day of August, 1821, Rev. Samuel Wakefield was married 
 to Miss Elizabeth Hough, of Westmoreland county, who died September 29, 
 1894, being then in the 92d year of her age: he died Friday morning, Sep- 
 tember 13, 1895, at the ripe age of 96 years, 6 months, and 7 days. On the 
 occasion of the golden wedding of David H. Wakefield, the New York 
 World sa3 r s: 
 
 "Rev. Samuel Wakefield, his father, is one of the most wonderful men of the present 
 century. His entire life has been one of activity. He has been minister, author, tailor, 
 farmer, and representative of his district in the state senate. At the age of 94, he pub-

 Wakefield was the earliest expounder of the theology of the Methodist church in North 
 America, as Wesley was in England. He Is the author of a work on rhetoric, and eight 
 "books on music. All his clothing was the product of his own skillful hands until after he 
 had passed the four score milestone of life's journey. At 70 years he shod his own car- 
 riage horses. He has made several violins and other musical instruments of excellent 
 workmanship, which are now treasured as relics by various members of his family. In 
 the early part of this century, Dr. Wakefield preached on a circuit of over three hundred 
 miles. There were no railroad trains, and stage coaches did not pass except at long 
 intervals, through the country which he had "to cover,'' and which he did well cover. 
 He rode to and fro on horseback, preaching every day in the week at different log 
 cabins, to which the faithful for miles around would flock on foot, on horseback, and in 
 Conestoga wagons. During the Civil war he represented his district in the state senate.',

 78. William 5 Wakefield (John,* David, 3 Robert, 2 Robert 1 ), assumed 
 to be a son of John and Elizabeth (Newlon or White) Wakefield, being a 
 descendant of David 3 ; born about 1765, at Wakefield, N.C.; married about 
 1792, to Diana Varner; died about 1830. He was a teacher and lawyer. He 
 settled at Belleville, St. Clair county, 111., in 1810, being the first settler 
 there, where he lived and died. His widow died at Quincy, 111., at the ad- 
 vanced age of 105 years. William Wakefield inherited slaves, but set them 
 free in Illinois, being a Quaker and opposed to slavery. These slaves he is 
 supposed to have brought from Kentucky, he having settled in Baron county, 
 in that state, a few years prior to his emigration to Illinois. According to 
 tradition, his father and some of his elder brothers served under Marion in 
 the Revolution, but being Quakers this is improbable. There is a tradition 
 that Diana Varner was a grand-daughter of Charles Wakefield, who came 
 from New England about 1750, her mother being a daughter of the said 
 Charles. Note that several of the descendants of Jonathan Wakefield, of 
 Sutton, Mass., settled in Pennsylvania. He was six feet four inches, and 
 his wife six feet in height, and heavily built.

 carrying a dispatch from St. Louis to Vincennes, through the then track- 
 less wilderness, swarming with hostile Indians, which he accomplished after 
 many hair-breadth escapes, and terrible hardships, and was thanked in spe- 
 cial orders by General Atkinson. At twenty years of age he was admitted 
 to the bar and took an active jsart in opijosition to the movement to change 
 the state constitution, so as to permit slavery in the state. He served sev- 
 eral terms in the legislature and was an intimate friend of Abraham Lincoln, 
 Stephen A. Douglas, Judge Sidney Breese, Governor Edwards, and others of 
 that period. He served through the Black Hawk war, with the rank of 
 major, and wrote the history of that war. He was one of the three com- 
 missioners to select lands granted the state, and was appointed to All 
 vacancy as state treasurer. He was the first justice of the peace and 
 police judge at St. Paul, Minn., and at the first election for delegate in 
 congress, from Kansas, was the free-state nominee and received nearly all 
 the legal votes polled. He served on the bench in three states, was elected 
 state treasurer of Kansas under the Topeka constitution. In 1856, his 
 house was burned, and $8,000 of property taken or destroyed by the "Border 
 Ruffians" from Missouri. In 1818, he was married to Eliza, eldest daughter 
 of Abram and Elizabeth (Brown) Thompson, who had come from Bour- 
 bon county, Ky., three years previously. Abram Thompson was of Scotch- 
 Irish descent, and one of the pioneers of Bourbon county, coming there 
 from Western Pennsylvania. In the year 1846, John A. Wakefield removed 
 from Galena, 111., where he had for several years practiced his profession, 
 to Wisconsin, engaging in lead mining, but soon after went to St. Paul, 
 Minn., where he built a large hotel. On the 8th day of July, 1854, he en- 
 tered the territory of Kansas, and on the 18th day of the same month, 
 pitched his tent in what is now Douglas county, containing at that time 
 but one or two families. In 1856, while en route to Illinois for aid in men and 
 arms, he was captured by Buford's South Carolinians, and narrowly es- 
 caj:>ed death, as a "traitor," to his native state. He was ever distinguished 
 for great energy of character and a high sense of personal honor, his word 
 being as good as his bond wherever he was known. Though possessed of a 
 quick and fiery temper, he had "malice for none and charity for all," and was 
 an honorable opponent, and ever "held an honorable enemy, next to a bosom 
 friend." Hospitality was another virtue which he could justly claim, never 
 being known to turn a person from his door, with his wants unrelieved. He 
 died at Lawrence, Kansas, June 18, 1873. His wife died one year before.

 381- Hon. William Harrison Thompson 7 Wakefield (John A.,* 
 William, 5 John, 4 David, 3 Bobert, 2 Bobert 1 ), son of John Allen and Eliza 
 (Thompson) Wakefield; born December 13, 1834, at Vandalia, Payette 
 county, 111., where John A., his father, was then a lawyer and owner of the 
 principal hotel. At three years of age his father removed to Davis county 
 and located the town of Portsmouth, eighteen miles south of Galena, but 
 change of river channel blighted the enterprise and caused severe money 
 loss. William Wakefield received his education in the common schools and 
 the Plattville, Wisconsin, academy, and studied law in his father's office. 
 He entered upon manhood as an ardent anti-slavery man, and was a Repub- 
 lican until 1872 when he voted for Horace Greeley, and has since then been 
 an independent, most of his affiliation being with the Greenback and Peo- 
 ple's parties, but not in full accord with their financial theories. When the 
 Civil war began in 1861 he was attached to Colonel Deitzler's first Kansas 
 infantry as scout, and on August 11, 1862, enlisted in Company B, twelfth 
 Kansas volunteers; was soon after detailed as general order clerk at de- 
 partment headquarters, raised and commanded Company E, eleventh U.S. 
 colored troops; served as judge advocate second division, seventh A.C., and 
 as provost marshal: general seventh corps with rank of lieutenant colonel. 
 He was discharged with the regiment (113th U.S.C.Inf.) at DeValls Bluff, 
 Ark., April 9, 1866. After the war he passed six years on his farm in 
 Douglas county, Kan., regaining health. He then returned to journalism;

 was editor of the Kansas Daily Tribv/ne and of the TopekaDaily Journal; in 
 1883 he established The Ant i- Monopolist and later The Jeffersonian, besides 
 contributing to syndicate press and magazines. He was the first American 
 editor to uphold the single tax on land values, as the leading feature of his 
 paper, and few have written or spoken more on that question. In religion 
 he is an agnostic, and his integrity and high character are proverbial where 
 he is known. In 1886 he was a candidate for state auditor and ran ahead of 
 his ticket. In 1888 he was the nominee of the United Labor or Single Tax 
 party for vice-president, but on learning the movement was being manipu- 
 lated in Republican interests in New York city, he withdrew his name. He 
 married December 22, 1869, Emma Wakefield, a very distant cousin. She 
 was a daughter of George W. and Ruth (Osborn) Wakefield. Residence,

ERRATA. 
 
 Charles Marcus Wakefield, (No. 100, p. 279), resides at Belmont. Uxbridge, England. 
 
 Chatton Hall, (pp. 204-280) should read Challon Hall. A letter received too late to ad- 
 mit of correction of the former name, where it occurs on the above pages, was received 
 from Miss A. M. Wakefield, of Nutwood, Grange-over-Sands, England, of date June 4, 1897, 
 which in addition to asking the above correction, contributes the following addition to 
 the first generation of the family of Roger Wakefield of "Challon Hall:" 'Roger Wakefield 
 and Isabel, his wife, possessed Challon Hall in 1592. This information is gathered from 
 the Court Rolls at Lowther, Lord Lonsdale's place, who in those days was Lord of the 
 "Manor of Challon Hall.'' * * * "Most of Poster's Pedigree details are gathered from 
 the registers of the Society of Friends, to which our family belong. But this date is of 
 course before Quakers existed.' Miss Wakefield thinks there is one generation omitted, 
 between the first and second generations, as given on page 264. The error in the spelling 
 of Challon Hall, was caused by a misinterpretation in the handwriting of the late William 
 Henry Wakefield (No. 89, p. 277), in his letter of September 11, 1885. In the said letter, Mr. 
 Wakefield describes finding inscribed, in the house "called Challon Hall," his country 
 estate in the township of Preston Patrick, the initials and date, R.-I.-W.-1611," which he 
 believed to mean "Roger and Isabel Wakefield, 1611," and as indicating one generation 
 older than ' ! Roger Wakefield of p. 264. Mr. Wakefield relates: "The farm was bought by 
 my father about 55 years ago, from a connection of the family, from which, I infer that 
 the property had gone out of the direct line, and come back again as above."

 Edinburgh Review, January, 1828, (vol. xlvii, pp. 100-118) and BlackwelVs Edin- 
 burgh Magazine, for May, 1827, (vol. xxi, pp. 522-550) contain lengthy articles 
 on the elopement of Edward Gibbon Wakefield and Miss Ellen Turner, 
 daughter of William Turner, esq., of Shigley Park, in the County of Ches- 
 ter, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years of age, who escaped from her boarding 
 school, and went with him to Gretna Green, Scotland, where they were 
 married without her parents' consent. They were overtaken by her 
 parents while on their way to France, and she was returned to her home, 
 and the marriage was annulled by Parliament. Ewdard Gibbon Wakefield 
 was the originator of the peculiar system of colonization known as the 
 "Wakefield system," which was to "reproduce in Australia the strong dis- 
 tinction of classes, which was found in England." With this object the 
 land was to be sold at a high price to keep the agriculturists from becom- 
 ing land-owners, the lowest limit being a pound an acre. This system, which

 was first adopted in South Australia and Victoria, as well as in New Zea- 
 land, was strongly opposed by Sir Richard Bourke, governor of New South 
 Wales, and except in South Australia never had any hold. In May, 1839, 
 Mr. Wakefield became private secretary to Lord Durham, while high com- 
 missioner of Canada. Mill's Political Economy, bk., vch. xi, criticises Wake- 
 field's proposals. (Low and Pulling's Dictionary English Language). His

 67. Capt. Arthur 7 Wakefield (Edward, 7 Edward, 5 Edward,* Roger, 3

 captured a standard), and Algiers; led the first body of colonists to Nelson, 
 New Zealand, and founded the city of Nelson, 1841. Chamber's Edinburgh 
 Journal, of November 23, 1844, (vol. i, pp. 329-31), says of him, under the 
 heading of Biographical Sketches: 
 
 "About ten months ago the British public were surprised and grieved at the news 
 of the dreadful massacre of English colonists at New Zealand, bv the natives of that 
 country. Amongst the victims was Capt. Arthur Wakefield, emigration agent at the Nel- 
 son settlement, whose memoirs we are now enabled to lay before our readers, from a 
 private and authentic source. Arthur Wakefield, the son of an opulent yoeman, in Essex, 
 was born in the year 1800, and at the age of ten, was selected by the enterprising 
 Captain Beaver, after his return from Africa, as one of his probationary midshipmen 
 (then technically called 'Young Gentlemen,' but now, Naval Cadets) in the Frigate Nisus. 
 He served at the battle of Bladensburg with such distinction that he was approvingly 
 named in the extraordinary gazette announcing the victory. He was also present at the 
 siege of Algiers. After the general peace he went to France to acquire the French lan- 
 guage, and pursue other studies, but he was speedily recalled by the distinguished ap- 
 pointment of flag-midshipman to Sir George Campbell, who had become port-admiral, of 
 Portsmouth. He next served under Sir Thomas Hardy, as his aid-de-camp in the Span- 
 ish colonies, of South America. When at Valparaiso he was promoted, and returned 
 home as 3rd Lieutenant of the 'Superb.' 
 
 "In 1825, he read a paper to the Earl of St. Vincent which was ordered published, and 
 is said to have originated those alterations in the specified build of merchant ships which 
 have since so materially improved them. Soon after this he was appointed to the 'Blazer,' 
 destined once more for Spanish America. Lieutenant Wakefield left the 'Blazer' on ar- 
 riving off the African coast, to take command of the 'Conflict' sloop in which he remained 
 during five years: the Conflict was paid off in February 1828. By this time, his father hav- 
 ing retired from Sussex to reside in France, Arthur Wakefield joined him, inspecting the 
 most celebrated dock yards of that country. Some years ago Mr. Edward Gibbon Wake- 
 field, brother to Captain Wakefield, proposed a plan by which with a judicious combina- 
 tion of land, capital, and labor a colony might be established without an} r cost to the 
 mother country. This plan was not only taken up by a company established for colonizing 
 New Zealand, but was patronized by the colonial department of the British government. 
 
 "In 1841 arrangements were made by the New Zealand company, with the colonial 
 office for an additional tract of land on which was to be formed a third settlement under 
 the superintendence of Capt. Arthur Wakefield. Accordingly he sailed in the ship 
 'Whitby' with an efficient body of colonists, and arrived in October at the desired locality

 in New Zealand. Captain Wakefield was ably seconded in his colonization by the settlers, 
 who one and all admired and respected him. The relations with the natives was amicable 
 until the setting out of an unfortunate surveying expedition to Wairau. a district on a 
 river of the same name. Their operations were opposed by the natives, headed by their 
 chief 'Kauparaha,' in consequence of the undefined nature of the negotiations concerning 
 the purchase of land. The first hostility was the burning of a surveying hut. On hearing 
 of this Captain Wakefield, several gentlemen belonging to Nelson, the Crown prosecutor, 
 an interpreter, four constables and twenty-two men proceeded to Wairau to take 
 Kauparaha into custody. They landed Friday. June 16, 1843, and went five miles up the 
 river, either marching or in boats, the store keeper having served out muskets, bayonets, 
 pistols, swords, and cutlasses. At night they slept in the wood, and on going four miles 
 up the river on the 17th thev found the natives. There were eighty or ninety native men, 
 forty armed with muskets, besides women and children. 
 
 " Captain Wakefield and two of his companions walked backwards and forwards for 
 nearly a half hour with the natives, apparently in a friendly manner. The warrant was 
 then produced, and the constable directed to execute it on Rauparaha, the interpreter 
 explaining the meaning of it. The chief refused to go, and the discussion became vio- 
 lent. Captain Wakefield gave the word 'forward;' tiring began too soon, and, despite the 
 attempts to rally them, the Europeans fled, and a few of the braver ones were left alone, 
 and obliged to lay down their arms and surrender. A white handkerchief was held up, 
 and the' interpreter called out, 'leave off: enough!' When signals of surrender were 
 made, one or two Maories (natives) also threw down their weapons, and advanced with 
 their arms outstretched, in token of reconciliation. The chief's son-iu-law. who had just 
 discovered that a chance ball had hit his wife, came up, crying, 'Rauparaha, remember 
 your daughter!' Upon this, Captain Wakefield and his companions, though they had 
 peacefully surrendered, were set upon and inhumanly slaughtered. Thus perished a 
 brave officer, and most persevering colonist, at the comparatively early age of 43. His 
 death was attributed solely to a want of understanding between the local government 
 and the company whose agent he was. The bodies were recovered, and interred by colo- 
 nists returning from the settlement. The rites of sepulture were performed with the 
 full concurrence of the natives, on the spot where the captain and his friends had fallen."

 Gilbert 2 Wakefield (Rev. George 1 ), born February 22, 1756, in the 
 parsonage house of St. Nicholas, of Nottingha m, and the third son of Rev. 
 George Wakefield, rector of that parish; was educated at, and in 1776 
 became Fellow of, Jesus college, Cambridge; in 1778 became curate of 
 Stockport, Cheshire, and curate of St. Peter's, Liverpool, and in the next 
 year took the post of classical tutor in the Dissenting academy at Warring- 
 ton, which he held until the dissolution of the establishment in 1783; from 
 1784 to 1790 resided at Nottingham (deserting the Church of England in 
 1786), where he taught school; from July, 1790, to June, 1791, was classical 
 tutor in the Dissenting academy at Hackney: from May 30, 1799, to May 
 29, 1801, was imprisoned in Dorchester jail for "a seditious libel," (A Reply 
 to some Parts of the Bishop of Llancluff's Address to the People of Great Britain), 
 London, 1798, 8vo., pp. 51, j during which his political friends presented him 
 with £5,000, as an evidence of their sympathy and esteem: died in London, 
 September 9, 1801. After his desertion of the Church of England, of 
 which he became a bitter assailant, he never joined any religious society, 
 and in his: Enquiry into the Expediency and Propriety of Social Worship (1791, 
 8vo., 3d ed., 1792) he advocated the negative with no little asperity; see 
 London. Monthly Review, 1792, L, 435. This tirade was answered by Dr. 
 Disney, Mr. Wilson, Eusebia, and others. 
 
 "Gilbert Wakefield was a diligent, and we believe, a sincere inquirer after truth, 
 but he was unhappily so framed in temper and habits of mind as to be nearly certain of 
 missing it, in almost every topic of inquiry. * * * He was as violent against Greek accents 
 as he was against the Trinity, and anathematized the tinal V as strongly as Episcopacy." 
 British Critic, xxvi.

 "The design of Mr. Wakefield in the plan of this work was the union of thelogical 
 and classical learning— the illustration of the Scriptures by light borrowed from the 
 philology of Greece and Rome, as a probable method of recommending the books of 
 revelation to scholars."— Home's Bibl. Bib., p. 363. 
 
 "Some of the emendations are too conjectural and discover the natural boldness of 
 the author, but his criticisms often afford a clear and happy solution of difficulties which

 German Critics. Editio altera ad Exemplar Gilberti Wakefield, cum ejusdem et R.

 "Bevond a doubt the best critical edition of Lucretius extant. It is a faithful re- 
 print of that of Gilbert Wakefield (1796-97,) containing, in addition, the collation of the 
 Editie Princeps, and the inedited notes of Bentley. which Wakefield had left untouched." 
 — Dibdin. 
 
 Dr. Busby, in his English translation of Lucretius. 1813, 2 vols., 4to., according to the 
 (London) Quarterly Review, xi, 103, is largely indebted for "poetical illustrations" to "the 
 mine of Wakefield." The scholar must* also procure Titi Lucretii Cari de Rerum Nat ura Libri 
 Sex, with a translation and notes by H. A. J. Munro, M.A., Fellow of Trinity college, Cam- 
 bridge, 1865. 2 vols., 8 vo. 
 
 "A new edition of Lucretius, with a literal translation and a whole volume of notes, 
 will supercede all its English predecessors, and proves that scholarship is not so dead 
 
 among us as is sometimes asserted His book is that of a learned and industrious 
 
 scholar, and his short introduction bears ample testimony to the zeal and patience with 
 which he has collated manuscripts, compared and examined the works of past and pres- 
 ent critics and commentators, and spared no pains to make his work as trustworthy and 
 complete as possible." — Westminster Review. 
 
 "Every part of his work affords ample proof that he has shunned no exertion to 
 render himself thoroughly qualitted for the successful performance of his useful task, 
 and he has accomplished'it in such a manner as to reflect honor upon English scholar- 
 ship. He has produced a work which may take rank with the best German editions of 
 ancient authors, and will long serve as a standard authority." London Athenceum, January 
 1855.

 Porson's Hecuba: see Porson, Richard, No. 12, and the critique in London Monthly Review, 
 (which also reviews this of Wakefield's), there indicated. 
 
 Porson treated the first named of these critics with little respect, for, on being 
 asked for a toast with a sentiment from Shakespeare, he gave "Gilbert Wakefield; 
 'What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba?' " "And," says Dr. Thomas Young, "there was 
 quite as much of truth as there was of neatness in the application."

 We quote a few opinions on the general characteristics of Gilbert Wakefield: 
 
 "A writer certainly of classical taste and of elegant attainments. Whose professed 
 attachment to truth and candor was too often biased by prejudice and disgraced by sar- 
 casm." — Dr. Laurence. 
 
 "Wakefield possesses exquisite taste and a most luxuriant fancy, as a critic: and 
 one grieves that he should ever have misapplied his powers to politics and religion." — 
 Green: Diary of a Lover of Literature, 63. 
 
 •'He wanted time or patience for that discrimination which would have made his 
 conjectures fewer, indeed, but more probable, and his principles more exact: (yet) I 
 shall ever think of him as one of the best scholars produced by my own country in mv 
 own ■age." — Dr. Parr. See Wakefield's Memoirs, 2d ed., ii. 437-53. Hoyne and his pupil, 
 Jacobs, commended him highly. 
 
 "Partly from imperfections in the manner in which he had been educated, partly 
 from defects of mental character, he was not, and never could have become either a 
 profound or a refined scholar. Both his Latin style and his English are vicious and bar- 
 barous in the extreme."— Knight's English Cyclopczdia Biography, vi. 1858, 474 (q.v.) 
 
 "He had the pale complexion and mild features of a saint, was a most gentle 
 creature in domestic life, and a very amiable man; but when he took part in political 
 or religious controversy, his pen was dipped in gall." H. C. Robinson: Diarv, etc., ed. 
 Bost., 1870, i, 3ti. See Index. 
 
 The Christian Observer for the year 1805, vol. iv, published in London, p. 288, says of 
 him: "He could spell the longest words, say his catechism perfectly, and read the gospels 
 with ease at the age of three years and three months. Before the age of twenty'two he 
 was more than inclined to those heterodox opinions in religion that followed him through 
 life. Although he continued a nominal churchman until 177'.), and even after that period he 
 had no aversion to preaching within consecrated walls, yet he had not long been a 
 clergyman when he determined that nothing should tempt him to subscribe to those 
 articles which he totally disbelieved. His theological career, as an author, he commenced 
 in 1781, and was ever after a warm disputant in favor of those doctrines which are termed 
 Socinian. In 1779. he married the niece of Mr. Watson, who was his rector at Stockport. 
 He was a great classical scholar and linguist and had a very retentive memory. He 
 strove to influence the state to the prevention rather than the punishment of crime." 
 (May number, 1805.) 
 
 The Modern Review, vol. 1, 1880, October number 1880, pp. 868-884, says: "Amongst the 
 now almost forgotten minor martyrs to the political intolerance of the 18th century was 
 Rev. Gilbert Wakefield, a man of great attainments, original mind, active benevolence, and 
 unbending conscientiousness. He did himself less than justice in his writings; but his 
 private life was spotlessly pure, pre-eminently true, and great in qualities which only 
 those who knew him intimately and enjoyed his friendship had the opportunity of know- 
 ing. Mr. Wakefield was mostfortunate in his choice of a wife, and was the tenderest 
 husband imaginable. In domestic life all his asperities gave place to the greatest kind- 
 ness and affection. 
 
 "Gilbert Wakefield studied the Scriptures incessantlv, and every dav his objections 
 to the creeds of his forefathers increased. So he determined to quit the church. Mr. 
 Wakefield was at that time what was then called a Unitarian Christian, declaring himself 
 'a genuine votary of a crucified Savior who looks for a better country' and feels himself 
 impelled to a bold and open profession of the practical principles' of love, peace, and 
 liberty to the whole human race.' His religious opinions were in some respects peculiar; 
 he did not entirely join any sect though he was generally classed with the Unitarians of 
 his day. 
 
 "This account was written by his great-grand-daughter, the granddaughter of Ann 
 Wakefield, who married Charles Rochemont Aiken, son of Dr. John Aiken." — The People's 
 Journal, 1858, vol. iv, pp. 102-3.

Origin of the Name.

 ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF THE NAME WAKEFIELD. 
 
 ORIGIN OF THE NAME. 
 
 In the savage state there were no surnames, and woman was the head of the family. 
 The race was divided into gens, and the children belonged to the gens of the mother. 
 Children did not always receive personal, or given names even, but were numbered and 
 were later named or characterized by some act or circumstance of the individual's life. 
 Population was sparse and intercourse limited, and such designation was all that was 
 required. When man advanced to barbarism and by force united independent tribes 
 into states and kingdoms, he also assumed the headship of the family in the same way. 
 With the advance from the life of hunters to that of herdsmen, tillers of the soil, arid 
 builders of cities, population increased and commerce began, and there was need of a 
 better designation of the individual than that of the simple name given to him at birth or 
 acquired by him at a later date. So men were naturally first designated by mention of 
 their fathers as Joshua, the son of Nun and Simon Bar Jonas, Simon the son of Jonas. 
 Thus the patronymic is found in use among the Greeks and Romans and the various races 
 and tribes of Europe. 
 
 Men were also designated by the place where they lived or were born, and by their 
 business or occupation, by their office or station, and by some circumstance of life, person, 
 or character, including what may be called nicknames. Among the Teutonic and Celtic 
 people of northern Europe such additional designation of individuals were not hereditary, 
 and did not descend from father to son as a family or surname. The use of hereditary 
 surnames was introduced in Ireland before it was in England, for Brian Born, king of 
 Muster, who was killed at Clontorp, 1014, prescribed an ordinance that every one should 
 adopt as a surname the name of his father, and thereafter surnames became permanent 
 in Irish families. The Angles, Saxons, Danes, and Normans, in England did not generally 
 adopt hereditary surnames until some time during the thirteenth century, so that who- 
 ever pursues a surname into England must expect to lose it as a family name at or before 
 this time. A place name might continue further back as to that part of the family which 
 continuously occupied the particular place. 
 
 As to the origin of the name Wakefield there can be no doubt that it is a place name, 
 and originated in the West Riding, of Yorkshire. England, where it is still represented 
 by the city of Wakefield. It appears in the Domesday Book, and is there spelled 
 "Wachefelt" and "Wachefeld." 
 
 When the Angles and Saxons invaded and made themselves masters of England, the 
 Saxons settled in the southern and the Angles in the northern part. See map of England 
 in 597, Encyclopadae Britanica. The Saxons and Angles, or Engles, were kindred people, 
 and drove the prior inhabitants bodily to the west part of the island— much as the Indian 
 has been driven west in America. 
 
 York and Wakefield are, in the early division, called Deira. Some time before 589, 
 in a war between Bernicia and Deira, some men of the latter kingdom were captured 
 and sold as slaves in Rome. Gregory noticed their white bodies, fair faces, and golden 
 hair, and asked the trader from what country they came The slave trader said' "they 
 are Angles." Gregory said: "Not Angles, but angels, with faces so angel-like. Frorii 
 what country came they?" The merchant said: "They come from Deira." (See ch. 2. 
 Pa. 40, Green's larger History English People.) In ch. i, par. 10, is given the location of 
 these people on the continent. They were kindred, speaking in substance one language, 
 but each its own dialect, though generally they are all often called Saxons They all be- 
 longed to the low German branch of the Teutonic family. This dialectic difference is no- 
 ticeable in the naming of their towns in England In the Saxon portion we notice names 
 ending in "Wick," "ham," "ton," "ford," indicating the hometown, or crossing of a stream, 
 controlled by some man and bearing his name. On the other hand, the terminal "field" is a 
 very frequent termination of a town name in that part of England settled by the Engles, 
 and somewhat remote from the Saxons. The Engles also used other terminals. The 
 northern and interior part was at first more sparsely settled, and where a field was at 
 first occupied by a single family there gathered a town which retained the name of the 
 field. 
 
 Wakefield received its name, no doubt, when it was a military post and settlement 
 on the frontier of the Engle advance, and the bold and hardy adventurers were required 
 to keep a constant watch to protect themselves against the Britons, whom they had de- 
 spoiled and whose lands they had taken. 
 
 The old spelling in the Domesday Book has a German appearance, but that may have 
 come from the scribe. The Century Dictionary gives "wake" verb: Anglo-Saxon, "wacan:" 
 German, "wachen" and "watch:" verb. Anglo-Saxon, "waccan.' The dictionary does not 
 give us the Engle word, which may have been the same or more nearly like the German. 
 There is in Domesday Book a place in "Northantonscire," which would be in the territory 
 of the South Angles, named "Wacafeld." This being near the line between Engle and 
 Saxon, would represent the Anglo-Saxon verb "wacan," to wake, or to watch. "Waca- 
 feld" was in the hundred "Claibea." and the holding was under "Comes Alan."

 The conqueror seized most of the lands of the kingdom and distributed to his fol- 
 lowers liberally. William claimed the throne as the lawful successor, and seized lands 
 and gave them away not as conqueror but rather as king, the English owner having for- 
 feited them by treason. He did not give all to Normans. Many English received their 
 lands again from William. The changes were carried forward in an orderly manner, 
 and to the end of bringing the lands of the kingdom in subjection to the crown. Bishop 
 Ealdred, of York, held his ecclesiastical office until his death, when William filled the 
 place with the Norman. Thomas of Bayeaux. The names in the Domesday Book at "Wache- 
 felt" and "Wachefeldt" are "Dunestan"' "Godric," and "Godwin." These holdings were 
 ecclesiastical in their nature, and these persons were doubtless English, Engle, or Saxon. 
 But whether the officials or landowners who first took Wakefield as a surname were 
 Engle, Saxon, or Norman must be a matter of conjecture, for the incumbent may have 
 been either. It does not matter much which he was, for the Norman was a kindred peo- 
 ple to the others. The chances may jireponderate in favor of the Norman stock. But 
 different families may at different times, under the changes of reigning families, have 
 occupied office and taken the name; as, for instance, during the "War of the Roses," when 
 the doctrine. "To the victor belongs the spoils," was rigorously observed. Hon. George 
 W. Wakefield, No. 388, p. 104. 
 
 "There is a vulgar error that places borrowed their names from persons, instead of 
 the contrary. 
 
 "Whereas, therefore, there locall denominations of families are of too great 
 antiquitie, I can not see why men should thinke that their ancestors gave names to 
 places, bare those very names before any men did their surnames. Yea, the very termi- 
 nations of the names are such as are only proper and applicable to places, and not to 
 persons in their significations, if any will'marke the locall terminations which I lately 
 specified, who would suppose Hill, Wood. Field, Ford, Pond, Town, etc., to be convenient 
 for men to beare their names unless they could also dream Hills, Woods, Fields, etc., to 
 have been metamorphised into men by some supernatural transformation, And I doubt 
 not but what they will confess thattownes stand longer than families. 
 
 "It may also be prooved that many places which now have Lords denominated of 
 them had owners of other surnames and families not many hundred years since. 
 
 "I know never the lesse that albeit most townes have borrowed their names from 
 their situation and other respects." (Camden.) 
 
 From Manors and smaller estates; "The surnames from these sources are innumer- 
 able. To sum up the whole matter. I may observe that there is scarcely a city, town, 
 village, manor, hamlet, or estate in England that has not lent its name to swell the 
 nomenclature of English men. 
 
 "The readiest corruption from the French is that which turns ville into field, as 
 Bloomfield for Blondeville, Summerfield for Sommerville, etc." (Lower's English Sur-

 Wakefield Cathedral. Saturday Review, vol. lxvii. pp 575-6. London, May 11, 1889. "Wake- 
 field has lately blossomed out into a diocesan city, and the Church of All Saints into a 
 bishop's stool. Until last year it was only a parish church, and the historical associations 
 it embalmed were of the most meagre and provincial kind. Anything in the nature of 
 curiosity and eccentricity has been carefully wiped off the walls in successive "restora- 
 tions." Mr. Micklethwaite describes the growth of the church from the form in which it 
 probably existed at the time of the Domesday survey to that in which it was left at the 
 .Reformation. 
 
 A fine perpendicular church with only one serious fault, regarded as a cathedral, 
 namely the extreme difficulty that any architect would find in adding to it without destroy- 
 ing the whole beauty and character of the existing building. 
 
 Wakefield is mentioned in the Domesday survey as having three priests and two 
 churches. The second church was probably that at Sandal, and the third priest probably 
 ministered at the chapel at Horbury. The Manor was ancient demesne and belonged 
 successively to Edward Harold and William the Conqueror, from whom it passed to the 
 great Earl Warren: but Mr. Walker should not say so positively that the Earl married 
 the Conqueror's daughter. (The Cathedral Church of Wake field, "by J. W. Walker, F.S.A., 
 Wakefield; Milnes.) 
 
 Wakefield and Conisburg were given by the second Earl to the monastery of St. 
 Pancras, which his father and mother had founded at Lewes, in Sussex, the living, of 
 course, then began and continues a vicarage; but the Prior of Lewes probably found 
 such distant possessions inconvenient, and sold or leased Wakefield to Hugh le Despencer. 
 Hugh was hanged in 1326, but his family continued to hold Wakefield till 1348, when, with 
 some other property of the kind, it was surrendered or sold to Edward III, who settled it 
 upon the chapel of St. Stephen in the palace of Westminster. 
 
 After the dissolution in 1517, appointments to the vicarage were made by the crown 
 until 1860, when Bishop Bickerstith, of Ripon, obtained it in exchange. It now* falls to the 
 patronage of the new Bishop of Wakefield. The rectory Manor, whose history has been 
 traced by Mr. Taylor, underwent greater vicissitudes. At the dissolution it was among the 
 possessions of St" Stephen's, and in 1568 was leased to Sir Henry Savile, surveyor of crown 
 lands in the north. It appears to have continued in the Savile family till near the end of 
 the 17th century, and Richard Witton and John Smith bought it in 1697. It passed through 
 the hands of several of Witton's descendants or relatives after this, until it was bought 
 from his heirs by William Fenton, a millionaire, at the beginning of the century, and it is 
 still in the hands of his family. 
 
 The spire of this cathedral rises to a height of 247 feet, only ten taller in England. 
 The stained glass, mural painting, and church furniture were noticed by Robert Glover, 
 Somerset Herald, who visited Wakefield professionally in 1554."

 Battle of Wakefield Gnai. Bridge, Wakefield.— Extracts from Timbs Ancestral Stories, 
 pp. 215-30, Pontefract Castle. "Pontefract, one of the most notable historic sites of Eng- 
 land, lies about nine miles nearly east of Wakefield. The town was a burg in the time of 
 Edward the Confessor. Origina'lly Pontefract was built according to theusual plan of a 
 Norman castle. There was a keep at the western end and a large bailie below it. The 
 towers were kept at equal distances in the curtain wall of the enclosure, there was a 
 barbican and draw-bridge at the southwest angle, and the whole was encircled by a deep 
 fose. At the northeast angle was a chapel served by five priests, and this building, 
 which owes its erection to Albert de Lacy, still retains a portion of the masonry belonging 
 to the original foundation. Pontefract Castle, by its situation as well as bv its structure, 
 was rendered almost impregnable: it was not commanded by any contiguous hills and 
 could only be taken by blockade. The whole tract occupied by the fortress was about 
 seven acres. 
 
 In a topographical excursion in the year 1634. Pomfret is described as a high and 
 stately, famous and princely, impregnable castle and citidel, built by a Norman, on a 
 rock, which, for the situation, strength, and largeness may compare with any in the 
 kingdom. 
 
 The origin and etymology of the name of the town are alike unknown. According 
 lo Camden, its name was changed to Pontefract by the Romans. The place was called 
 Kirkby in the time of the Saxons, and it is not improbable that it was one of the first 
 places' in England at which a church was erected and Christianity preached. 
 
 William the Conqueror is said to have called the name of the town Pomfrete from 
 some fancied resemblance to a place so called in Normandy, where he was born. Ponte- 
 fract must be numbered in our recollections of childhood, since here were grown whole 
 fields of licorice-root, from the extract of which were made Pontefract cakes, impressed 
 with the town arms—three lions passant gardant surmounted with a helmet, full forward, 
 open faced and Garde-visure. We have also seen these cakes impressed with the cele- 
 brated castle and the motto, "Post mortum pro. ttlio," (after the death of the father for 
 the son). 
 
 Richard, Duke of York, entered into possession of the Manor of Wakefield and Castle 
 of Sandal in 1446, on the death of the Countess of Cambridge. It was for some time the 
 residence of his son, Richard. Duke of Gloucester. The Castle, from its first erection to 
 its destruction, was used as the court or Manor-house of this extensive fee . The Savilles 
 of Thornhill, in whom the office of steward was hereditary while the Manor was in the 
 hands of the crown, occasionally resided and always transacted the business of the 
 courts here. The town of Wakefield ranks among the most opulent and interesting in 
 the country; being of Saxon, if not Roman foundation, and having borne a share in 
 nearly all the events that have taken place within the county of the West Riding division, 
 of which it is the capital, (pp. 56-57.) Sandal Castle was built in the reign of Edward II 
 by John the eighth and last earl of Warren. To this Earl, Edward I gave his grand- 
 daughter. Joan de Barr, in marriage. The union was an unhappy one, and he took Maude 
 de Nerford as a mistress and built the Sandal Castle for the purpose (p. 56. ) The ground 
 on which the battle of Wakefield was fought, was rather uneven, its surface rising in 
 gentle swells, lying directly south of the town of Wakefield and sloping irregularly down 
 from Sandal Castle to Wakefield Bridge, (p. 54.) Of Sandal Castle, few and meagre are 
 the remains, what from the destroying hand of man and the mouldering effects of time, 
 (p. 55.) The Earl of Salisbury was taien prisoner in this battle, with others of the nobil- 
 ity, and were shortly afterwards, by command of Margaret, beheaded at Pontefract 
 Castle.'' (p. 53.) Chapter on "The Battle of Wakefield Green." (The 'Battles and- Battle fields 
 of Yorkshire, bv William Grainge.) 
 
 Emily ( Watkins) Wakefield, singer, educator, and lecturer, was born in London, 
 Eng. Her father, Henry George Watkins. was an artist of great ability, being one of the 
 old-time engravers for Landseer, Herring, and other celebrated painters. Emily 
 early turned to books, and lived in an atmosphere of art, and in her father's studio her 
 pastime was to read and act the stories of the heroes of ancient Greece and Rome. At 
 fifteen she entered Queen's College, London, where she excelled in history, literature, and 
 compositions. Her first field of work was in St. Johns, N.B , where her artistic ability 
 was soon recognized, and she received for an original painting the highest award from 
 the Dominion Exposition. In 1873 she removed to Halifax, N.S.. where her soirees, her 
 musicals, her examination days, and her school exhibitions were of great renown. 
 
 Reverses compelled her to close her school, and she came to the United States. 
 After two years of successful administration in Patapsco Seminary, Maryland, she was 
 invited to Titusville, Penn., in which place she has been since 1882. Mrs. Wakefield has 
 been a teacher, a singer, and musical director. She has rendered seventeen operas, lead- 
 ing and training the voices of novices and the parts of amateurs, and in addition to all 
 that work, she has been the leading spirit in the intellectual advancement of the city, or- 
 ganizing literary clubs, and teaching hundreds. Invited to the Chautauqua platform in 
 1892. she' gave a series of lectures that secured for her wide reputation and recognition, 
 her success being assured and complete. "The Literature of the Far East," one of her 
 subjects, attests'her scholastic research, and the other. "A Day in London," abounded in 
 the same traits and touches that distinguished Gough's performances. She is devoted to 
 her musical and literary labors. (Page 738 includes half-tone portrait, "A Woman of the

 Harry Wakefield, One of the two heroes of Sir Walter Scott's tale of the Two Drovers, 
 of the (Chronicles of the Cannon Gate). Harry was an Englishman, from Yorkshire, resid- 
 ing in Scotland, and with his intimate friend and associate, Robin Oig McCombich, 
 familiar^ - known as "Robin Oig." A Highlander drover or herdsman. According to the 
 story, during an altercation, Harry called Robin a coward for refusing to contest with 
 him'in physical combat: thereupon. Robin awaited his opportunity, and cowardly assas- 
 sinated Harry with his dagger. I quote passages of special interest: 
 
 "Robin Oig's chosen friend was a young Englishman, Harry Wakefield by name, 
 well known at every northern market, and in his way as much famed and honored as 
 our Highland driver of bullocks. He was nearly 6 feet high, gallantly formed to keep 
 the rounds at Smithfield. or maintain the ring at a wrestling match: "and. although he 
 might have been overmatched, perhaps, among the regular professors of the Fancy, 
 yet. as a yokel or rustic, or a chance customer, he was able to give a bellyful to any 
 amateur "of the pugilistic art. Doncaster races saw him in his glory', betting his guinea, 
 and generally successful; nor was there a main fought in Yorkshire, the feeders being 
 persons of celebrity, at which he was not to be seen, if business permitted. But. though 
 a sprack lad, and fond of pleasure and its haunts. Harry Wakefield was steady, and riot 
 the cautious Robin Oig McCombich, himself, was more attentive to the main chance. 
 His holidays were holidays, indeed; but his days of work were dedicated to steady and 
 persevering labor. In countenance and temper, Wakefield was the model of old Eng- 
 land's merry yeomen, whose clothyard shafts, in so many hundred battles, asserted her 
 superiority over the nations, and whose good sabres, in our own time, are her cheapest 
 and most assured defense. His mirth was readily excited: for, strong in limb and con- 
 stitution, and fortunate in circumstances, he was disposed to be pleased with everything 
 about him: and such difficulties as he might occasionally encounter, were, to a man of 
 his energy, rather matter of amusement than serious annoyance. With all the merits 
 of a sanguine temper, our young English drover was not without his defects. He was 
 irascible, sometimes to the verge of being quarrelsome: and. perhaps, not the less in- 
 clined to bring his disputes to a pugilistic decision, because he found few antagonists 
 able to stand up to him in the boxing ring. 
 
 "Is is difficult to say how Harry Wakefield and Robin Oigfirstbecameintimates: but 
 it is certain a close acquaintance had taken place betwixt them, although they had ap- 
 parently few common subjects of conversation or of interest, so soon as their talk ceased 
 to be of bullocks. Robin Oig. indeed, spoke the English language rather imperfectly 
 upon any other topics but stots and kyloes, and Harry Wakerield'could never bring his 
 broad Yorkshire tongue to utter a single word of Gaelic. It was in vain Robin spent a 
 whole morning, during a walk over Minch Moor, in attempting to teach his companion to 
 utter, with true precision, the shibboleth Llhu. which is the Gaelic for calf. From Tra- 
 quair to Murder-cairn, the hill rung with the discordant attempts of the Saxon upon the 
 unmanageable monosyllable, and the heartfelt laugh which followed every failure. They 
 had. however, better modes of awakening the echoes: for Wakefield could sing many a 
 ditty to the praise of Moll, Susan, and Cicely, and Robin Oig had a particulaV gift at 
 whistling interminable pibrochs through all their involutions, and what was more agree- 
 able to his companion's southern ear, knew many of the northern airs, both lively and 
 pathetic, to which Wakefield learned to pipe a bass. Thus, though Robin could hardly 
 have comprehended his companion's stories about horse racing, and cock fighting, or fox 
 hunting, and although his .own legends of clan fights and creaghs. varied with talk of 
 Highland goblins and fairy folk, would have been caviare to hts companion, they con- 
 trived, nevertheless, to find a degree of pleasure in each other's company, which had for 
 three years back induced them to join company and travel together when the direction 
 of their journey permitted. Each, indeed, fourid his advantage in this companionship: 
 for where could the Englishman have found a guide through the western Highlands like 
 Robin Oig McCombich? And when they were on what Harry called the right side of the 
 border, his patronage, which was extensive, and his purse, which was heavy, were at all 
 times at the service of his highland friend an;\ on mam o-.-asion:, his liberality did him 
 genuine yeoman's service. * * * "I can fight." answered Robin Oig. sternly but calmly, 
 "and you shall know it. You. Harry Waakfelt. showed me today how the Saxon churls 
 fight. I show you now how the Highland dunnie-wassel fights." He seconded the word 
 with the action, and plunged the dagger, which he suddenly displayed, into the broad 
 breast of the English yeorrian with such fatal certainty and force that the hilt made a 
 hollow sound against the breastbone, and the double-edged point split the very heart of 
 his victim. Harry Wakefield fell, and expired with a single groan. His assassin next 
 seized the bailiff by the collar and offered the bloody poinard to his throat, whilst dread 
 and surprise rendered the man incapable of defense." 
 
 Merry Wakefield. "Merry Wakefield," as it was formerly called, though, says Fuller, 
 "What peculiar'cause of mirth this town has above others I do not know and dare not 
 too curiously enquire lest I turn their mirth amongst themselves into anger against me. 
 Sure it is settled in a fruitful soil and cheap country; and where good cheer and com- 
 pany are the premises, mirth (in common consequence) will be the conclusion." George 
 A. Green, the "Jolly Finder (keeper of the town pound or 'pinfold') who lived in Wake- 
 field all on a green," and who. after fighting "Robin Hood," "Scarlet and John." for along 
 summer's dav (see past Stanley Hall) took service with the "gutte theif." introduced him.

 Manor of Wakefield and Sanded Castle. "The manor of Wakefield, we learn from Domes- 
 day Book, is very' extensive, including that of Halifax and stretching from Normanton 
 to the boundaries of Lancashire and Cheshire. It was more than thirty miles in length 
 from east to west and comprises more than lis towns, villages, and hamlets: and the two 
 churches mentioned in Domesday are Wakefield and Sandal churches. It is probable 
 that the manor of Wakefield was granted in the reign of William Rufus. between the 
 years of 1091 and 10UT to William de Warren, second Earl of Surrey, who. by charter 
 granted to God and St. Fancras. of Lewes, besides other churches, the church of Wake- 
 field with its appurtenances. William the first. Earl of Warren, standing nearly allied 
 to the conqueror, viz.. nephew to the countess, his great-grandmother, accompanied the 
 conqueror to England: and having distinguished himself at the battle of Hastings, ob-

 tained an immense portion of the spoil. He had large grants of land in several counties; 
 so extensive indeed were those grants that his possessions more resembled the dominions 
 of a sovereign prince than the estates of a subject He was married to Gundred, the 
 daughter of the Conqueror. This potent noble founded the propriety of Lewes, in Sussex, 
 and endowed it with the church of Wakefield and Sandal Magra, besides lands. He died 
 in 1089. She died in liixs. Both buried at Chapter House at Lewes. The great Earl was 
 succeeded by his son, William, between 1091 and 1097. He gave the churches of Conisboro 
 and Wakefield to his father's monastery. The Earl was slain in the Holy Land in 1147. 
 He left only one daughter and she was married to William of Blois, one of the sons of St. 
 Stephen, who died without issue in 1159, she was afterwards given by Henry II, to Hame- 
 line, an illegitimate son of Geoffrey, Earl of Anjou (or n). That there was an immense 
 wood on Wakefield Heath in ancient times, is evident from these deeds, so thick a wood 
 that a person was employed in directing travelers over that very place where now is the 
 full road between Leeds and Wakefield. 
 
 We now pass over the manorial history to Edward, eldest son of Edmond Langley, 
 Duke of York, who succeeded to the manor after his father's death, and was slain at 
 Agincourt in 1415. Dying without issue, his estates came to his nephew, Richard, Duke of 
 York. Sandal Castle seems to have been a favorite residence of his. We find from 
 William of Worcester that the lords of the party of Lancashire were laying waste his 
 land in Yorkshire, when he hastened to Sandal Castle, and arrived there the 21st of De- 
 cember. 1460. The battle of Wakefield ensued, in which he lost his life. This battle was 
 fought on the 30th of December, and was indeed a fight of brother against brother, for 
 on one. the side of the Yorkists, there fell Sir John Harrington, who had married the sis- 
 ter of Lord Clifford, who made himself but too conspicuous on the side of the Lancas- 
 trians. It is probable the battle took place in front of the castle and on the open space of 
 ground called today as Sandal Common. By the death of Richard, Duke of York, the 
 manor then came to the crown in the person of Edward IV, who by the battle of Towton 
 had become firmly seated on the throne. It is a remarkable fact that two of the pos- 
 sessors of the Manor of Wakefield were beheaded, viz.. Thomas. Earl of Lancaster, and 
 Henry. Earl of Holland, the latter by sentence of high court of justice for attempting to 
 restore Charles I to the throne, whilst three others were slain on the battlefield. 
 
 Pindar fields, which by tradition are said to have been the site of Robin Hood's ex- 
 ploit with the valiant Pindar George-a-Green, lie at the east end of the town. In the 
 court rolls of the Manors of Wakefield of the reign of Edward II, there appears a Robertus 
 Hode, living in the town and having business in that court. In a parcel of deeds of Ed- 
 ward HI. reign, relating to Coldhindlev, which is about eight miles from Wakefield, we find 
 a Robert. William, amfAda Hode mentioned. It will be remembered that Barnsdale for- 
 est, where Robin Hood is said to have lived, lies not a great distance from Coldhindley. 
 
 We now pass on to Sandal Castle, which is probably of earlier date than the con- 
 quest. In 1317 John, the eighth and last Earl of Warren, who was a man of licentious 
 character, while residing at Sandal Castle, was involved in a scandalous intrigue with 
 Alice de Lacy, wife of his neighbor, Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. She was on Monday be- 
 fore Ascension Day carried off bv violence and conveyed to a castle of the Earl of Warren 
 at Reigate. in Surrey The Earl of Lancaster proceeded to avenge himself by laying 
 siege to the Earl's castle, and Sandal was demolished by him in revenge for this, but it 
 was rebuilt by the Earl of Warren in 1321. In 1318 the Earl of Lancaster obtained a grant 
 from the Earl of Warren of his Manor of Wakefield, probably as a makepiece for the 
 offenses committed against him by the Earl, but he only enjoyed it three years, being at- 
 tainted for high treason and beheaded at his Castle of'Pontefract. 
 
 Richard, Duke of York, lay at the castle before the Battle of Wakefield, and the 
 fortress seems to have been of some note in the reign of Edward III. John Wodrove, 
 receiver of Wakefield for Edward IV, had a warrant by privy seal dated 3rd of June, 
 second Richard III. for an allowance of such sums of money as he should employ in mak- 
 ing a tower in the Castle of Someshall or Sandall: also a warrant granting him a ton of 
 wine yearly for the use of said castle. And on the 20th of June following, the King being 
 then at York, assigned the Manors of Ulverston and Thornham in support of the expenses 
 of his household appointed. The portrait of John Wodrove and his wife, with his arms 
 and his crest, were formerly in the window of the Wakefield old church. Sandal Castle 
 was garrisoned for the King in the times of the Civil wars under Colonel Bounivant, and 
 surrendered after a siege of three weeks, a few days after Pontefract Castle. Boothroyd, 
 the historian of Pontefract Castle, informs me that the governors of Sandal and Ponte- 
 fract Castles were accustomed to light fires on their towers as a signal to each party that 
 good news had been received. 
 
 On April 30. 16-10, it was resolved by the house of commons that being an inland 
 castle, it should lie made untenable and no garrison kept or maintained in it: it was then 
 completely demolished: the moat of the castle may yet be traced, and the masonry ot the 
 central keep, or round tower, is visible. There seems to have been a park at Wakefield 
 and Sandal Castles from very early times. 
 
 In the fifth of Edward IV, Sir John Saville had a grant from the King of the herb- 
 age of Wakefield Park: Thomas Wentworth had a grant from Henry VIII, of the keeper- 
 ship. 
 
 In the second of Elizabeth, we find Sir John Tempest steward of the wardship of 
 Wakefield and constable of Sandal Castle disputing with Henry Saville. in the court of 
 Lancaster, for the office of keepership of the game in the new park of Wakefield and the 
 Sandal Castle Park. The former entrances to the parks are now known as Lodgegates 
 and Deergate. 
 
 The chapel on Wakefield bridge was rebuilt in 1847, save one small piece at the east end. 
 A brass plate inscription tells "This structure is built with the remains of the original 
 west front and other fragments of St. Marie's Chantry, which stood on Wakefield Bridge." 
 It was built in the reign of Edward HI, about 1357. and restored by Edward IV, after the 
 Battle of Wakefield, 1400, who dedicated the chapel to the memory of his father, the Duke 
 of York. It was defaced by unseemly repairs in 1794. In 1847 the ancient portion was 
 purchased by the Hon. George Chappie Norton and re-erected by him at Kettlethorpe."

 Tower, Wakt //(///.—Tower of London, Eng. With the exception of the White Tower, 
 the Wakefield Tower is the largest of the fortress. The situation is of the greatest his- 
 torical interest of any in the Tower. It adjoins on the eastern side, of the "Bloody 
 Tower" which forms the main entrance to the inner ward, and where the two young sons 
 ol Edward IV were murdered in 1483 by order of their uncle, Richard, the Duke of 
 ( ; Li icester. 
 
 The Wakefield Tower has, in course of time borne several different names, probably 
 its first name was the Hall Tower owing to a connectingpassage through the "great hall" 
 into the king's bedchamber in the "Lantern," this great hall was a magnificent room, 
 and was the scene of magnificent wedding festivities on the occasion of the marriage of 
 Henrv III to Eleanor of Provence. 
 
 In this 'Hall Tower" a tiny chapel was built for the private use of Henry III, and which 
 served for the devotion of his successors until Henry VI was there stabbed to death before 
 the cross. This tower was in hie day a part of the royal palace, its chapel was the scene of 
 his pious meditations, and old traditions say this tower was his place of detention and his 
 deliberate murder by the Duke of Glocester. There is good evidence that the records of 
 the nation were kept in this tower since the earliest Norman times. The upper chamber is 
 known to have been their repository from the reign of Henry VIII up to a few years ago 
 when they were removed to the record office in Chancery lane. The tower came to be 
 known as the Record Tower and even to this day, by way of identification, it is referred to 
 as the Wakefield or Record Tower. The present name was given owing to the imprison- 
 ment of the Yorkists there, after Margaret's victory at the battle of Wakefield in 1460. 
 
 The regalia, the crown jewels of the royal family, are now preserved in the Wake- 
 field tower, being on exhibition in a magnificent and very large octagonal glass pavilion, 
 which stands in the center of the first floor. The tower is octagonal, and the lower apart- 
 ment is twenty-eight feet in diameter: the walls are thirteen feet in thickness. The 
 Tower of London was built by the early Saxons, and used by them and the Norman kings 
 as a royal residence and stronghold. Down to the days of Henry of Richmond it was 
 the strongest place in the south of England, and was the magnificent home, the misera- 
 ble jail, and scene of execution or murder of all English princes.

 CITIES AND TOWNS BEARING THE NAME OF WAKEFIELD. OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. 
 
 Wakefield, Yorkshire. Eng.— "In geography, a large market town in the lower 
 division of the hundred of Agbrigg, in the West Riding of the County of York, is situated 
 on the side of an eminence, gently sloping southward to the river Calder, at the distance 
 of nine miles south from Leeds, thirty-two miles southwest by south from York, and 182 
 miles north northwest from London. It consists of nine streets, of which three are very 
 large and commodious, and many of the houses are spacious and lofty. The market- 
 place is small, but has been recently rendered much more convenient by the removal of 
 the corn market into Westgate, an adjacent street of great extent. Here is a neat build- 
 ing called the market-cross, formed of an open collonade of the Doric order, supporting 
 a dome, with an ascent of a circular flight of stairs leading to a large room, which re- 
 ceives its light from a lantern at the top. In this chamber most of the business of the 
 town is transacted. The market is held on Fridays, which is well attended, particularly 
 for the sale of wool, which is sent from various parts of England to the factors in Wake- 
 field, who dispose of it among the manufacturers in the adjacent districts. Here are two 
 annual fairs, each of which continues two days, for horses, horned cattle, pedlarly ware, 
 etc. A fair is also held every fortnight, on the alternate Wednesdays, for cattle and 
 sheep, which affords a constant supply of butcher's meat to almost the whole of this 
 riding and the borders of Lancashire. The parish church of Wakefield is a spacious and 
 lofty edifice, and the spire is one of the highest in the county. By the Domesday record, 
 there appears to have been a church here at the time of the Conquest, but no part of the 
 present structure can be referred to a more early period than the reign of Henry III, and 
 it has undergone many modern repairs and improvements. 
 
 In 1724, the south side was entirely rebuilt; and the greatest part of the north side, 
 together with the east end. towards the close of that century; a vestry room has like- 
 wise been erected. About half a mile to the north is the new church, built about the end 
 of the eighteenth century. The ground on which it stands was bequeathed for that 
 purpose by Mrs. Newstead, a widow lady, together with £1,000 towards the support of a 
 minister. But the will being litigated, the matter lay dormant for some years, till the 
 whole property of the testatrix was purchased by Messrs. Maude and Lee, who, in con- 
 currence with some other opulent persons, procured an act of parliament for building 
 the church and enlarging the town. The church was accordingly erected, and a great 
 number of houses, disposed in streets and squares, forming a district, which, as well as 
 the church, is denominated St. Johns. In the town are three meeting houses for dissent- 
 ers of the Presbyterian. Calvinistic, and Methodist denominations. Here is also a free 
 grammar school, founded and endowed by Queen Elizabeth, but much improved by 
 private benefactions: the school house is a spacious structure, erected by the Savllles, 
 ancestors of the Earl of Mexboro. A charity school is also established here for the 
 instruction and clothing of 10(5 boys and girls. Charitable donations to this town are 
 very considerable, amounting to £1,000 per annum, under the direction of fourteen 
 trustees, called governors; this money is applied to the maintenance of several exhibi- 
 tions in both universities, to the apprenticing of poor boys to various trades, to the 
 support of aged and infirm persons, and to other benevolent purposes, at the discretion 
 of the governors. At the end of Westgate, the principal street in the town, is the house 
 of correction for the whole riding; this prison is a spacious stone building, surrounded 
 by an outer wall, and contains about 150 cells. A commodious sessions house has been 
 recently erected, and great improvements are consequently taking place in the adjacent 
 streets. The quarter sessions for the West Riding are held here in January, and private 
 sessions every fortnight by the justices in the vicinity. 
 
 At the southeast entrance into Wakefield is a stone bridge, of nine large arches, 
 over the Calder; it exhibits a fine specimen of the masonry of Edward Ill's reign, in which 
 period it was built. In the center of this bridge, projecting from the eastern side, and 
 partly resting on the starlings, is an ancient chapel, formed in the richest style of ecclesi- 
 astical architecture, about ten yards in length and eight in breadth. The east window, 
 overhanging the river, is adorned with tracery, and the parapets are perforated; the 
 windows' on the north and south are equally rich; but the west front facing the passage 
 over the bridge exceeds all the rest in profusion of ornament, being divided by buttresses 
 into compartments forming recesses with lofty pediments and pointed arches, with 
 spandrils richly flowered, and above is an entablature supporting five basso relievos, the 
 whole being crowned with battlements. This chapel was built by Edward IV, in memory 
 of his father, Richard, Duke of York, and those of his party who fell in the Battle of 
 Wakefield. This superb relic of antiquity has of late years been used as a warehouse, 
 and its embellishments have received considerable damage. 
 
 Wakefield was noted in Camden's time for its extent, buildings, cloth trade, and 
 markets, as well as for the chapel above described. Since that period, the improvements 
 in the woolen-cloth manufacture, with the introduction of those of tammies, camblets, 
 and fancy articles, have greatly increased its wealth and population. A handsome hall 
 has recently been erected by subscription for the sales of the stuffs. It Is two stories

 high, extending in length about 70 yards and ten in breadth; through the middle in each 
 story, is a row of repositories, in all about 200, facing each way, and properly labeled, so 
 that the stand of any manufacturer maybe readily found. Wakefield, being situated on 
 the edge of the manufacturing district, of which the Calder forms the eastern boundary, 
 scarcely a single manufacturer is seen to the eastward. The navigation of the Calder has 
 greatly promoted the trade of this town, to which the river was rendered navigable in 
 1698. Great quantities of coals are carried hence by water for the supply of York, Hull, 
 and the adjacent parts. In the population return of the year'1811, Wakefield is stated to 
 contain 1959 houses and 8593 inhabitants. The manor of Wakefield is very extensive, in- 
 cluding that of Halifax, and stretching ■■ from Normanton westward to the confines of 
 Lancashire. It is more than 30 miles in length, from east to west, and comprises 118 
 towns, villages, and hamlets. By the Domesday book it appears to have been part of the 
 royal demesnes of Edward the Confessor, and at the time of the survey it belonged to the 
 crown. During the four subsequent centuries, it was granted to various branches of the 
 royal families, and other distinguished nobles. In 1461 it reverted to the crown in the 
 person of Edward IV, and remained in the possession of the kings of England until 1554, 
 when it was united to the duchy of Lancaster. In the reign of Charles I, it was granted 
 to Henry, Earl of Holland, who was beheaded in 1649, by the sentence of the high court of 
 justice. Being afterwards granted to Robert. Earl of Warwick, the manor went, by the 
 "marriage of his daughter, to Sir Gervase Clifton, Tvho, in 1663, sold it to Sir Christopher 
 Clapham, from whose heirs it was purchased in 1700 by the Duke of Leeds, in whose 
 familv it still continues. 
 
 About a mile and a half to the east of Wakefield is the village of Heath, which, for 
 situation, variety of seats, and beautiful lawns, is justly esteemed the finest in the king- 
 dom. Here is an elegant seat of W. Farquier, esq., and at this place was also the seat of 
 the late right honorable John Smyth, member for Pontef ract. and a lord of the admiralty'. 
 
 Two miles south of Wakefield is Sandal, a small village chiefly remarkable for its 
 ancient castle, built in the Reign of Edward II, by John, Earl of Warren, and afterwards 
 the property of Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, who aspiring to the crown, was 
 slain before its walls, December 31, 1460. in the memorable "Battle of Wakefield,'' so called 
 from Wakefield Green being the scene of action. The place where he fell was enclosed 
 with a wall, and on it was erected a cross of stone, which was destroyed in the civil war 
 of Charles I, in whose behalf the castle was garrisoned: but it surrendered after a siege 
 of three weeks, in October. 1645, and in the following 3 r ear the castle was demolished by 
 order of parliament. At present scarcely a vestige is left of its former strength and mag- 
 nificence: the principal remaining part is occupied as a farm house."— Beauties of England

 Hon. Thomas Lafayette Wakefield (No. 307, p. 97.) The following 
 is compiled from the Dedham, (Mass.) Transcript, of June 30, 1888, which 
 contains a very extended and eulogistic obituary of him; and which was re- 
 ceived too late to be incorporated into his record on p. 97: 
 
 "Mr. Wakefield first made his residence in Dedham in 1851, and he was one of its 
 oldest residents. He was fitted for college at the academies at Chester, Vt, and Lancas- 
 ter, N.H., and he entered Dartmouth college with an advanced standing in 1840, and was 
 graduated there in 1843. After teaching for a time in the Lancaster (N.H.) academy, he 
 went to Bordentown. N.J., and there read law in the office of G. S. Cannon, esq. In May, 
 1845, he went to Broadalbin, N.Y., and was admitted to the bar of Fulton county in Octo- 
 ber of that year, He was elected district attorney of that county in April, 1847, which of- 
 fice he held until his resignation and removal in 1849. 
 
 "He then came to Boston and formed a co-partnership, first, with Horace E. Smith, 
 and soon after his brother, John H. Wakefield, became a member of the firm. Theiroffice 
 was at No. 10 Court street. This firm was first dissolved by the removal of Judge Smith 
 to Albany. N.Y., where he is now the dean of the Albany Law School, and again by the 
 sudden death of Mr. John H. Wakefield. Mr. Wakefield never formed another co-partner- 
 ship until within a few years, when he made a new business connection with his two 
 sons, Thomas H. and John L. Wakefield. 
 
 "Mr. Wakefield was elected a representative to the General Court from Dedham in 
 1865 and 1866. He was also elected to the Senate in 1871 and 1872, in which body he was the 
 chairman of the judiciary committee. He was afterwards appointed chairman of the 
 commission for the construction of the state reformatory at Concord. 
 
 "In his politics Mr. Wakefield was always a decided Republican, but he was never a 
 strict partisan. He knew little of practical politics, and was nominated and elected to 
 political offices by the free choice of his party, uninfluenced by any effort of his own. 
 During all his residence in Dedham, he was a devout communicant of St. Paul's Episco- 
 pal church, and was active in all the affairs of that parish and steadfastly maintained 
 his interest while his health lasted. For many years, and until recently, he was a teacher 
 in the Sunday school, and was also a warden or vestry-man and treasurer for a long 
 time. In no position will his loss be more sensiblv felt than in church and parish affairs. 
 As a lawyer he was held in high estimation by his'brethern of the bar. His legal opinion 
 was always received with deference and he conducted his cases in court with the utmost 
 fidelity and discretion. He had a well balanced judgment and a temperament so equable 
 that he easily maintained his self-control. He was often selected to serve as auditor and 
 master, in important cases. In the latter years of his professional life he devoted him- 
 self especially to patent cases, a peculiar and distinct branch of practice, which called 
 him more exclusively into the United States courts. 
 
 "In all the relations of a townsman, Mr. Wakefield exhibited a most admirable ex- 
 ample. He rarely omitted to attend the town meetings, and was ready to act by voice or 
 vote, upon a proper occasion, or to serve in any capacity to which he might be designated 
 by his fellow citizens, yet without any obtrusiveness. He was public spirited and joined 
 in carrying forward many good enterprises. He loved fair play and strove to promote 
 good humor. He had no sympathy with the spirit of bitterness or of personal detraction 
 sometimes generated in local controversies. He was a religious man without cant or 
 hypocrisy. He was a genial companion and a steadfast friend. He was tolerant in his 
 judgment of others, prudent in speech, and discreet in action. 
 
 "The influence of such a character as his in a community like ours is not likely to be 
 overestimated, nor could its true value be adequately understood until death came to 
 show us what we had lost. But no conventional phrases of strained eulogy are needed to 
 exalt his virtues. The memory of a life so well rounded and full of benignity is a precious 
 legacy for our community, as well as for his family."

 Rawnsley have succeeded in carrying into actual practical operation many of the ideals 
 of Mr. Ruskin. Mr. Wakefield says: "It may be noted that the little town of Keswick 
 annuallv produces and sells some £700 worth of this art work. Among the workers are 
 men of all trades. Pencil makers are numerous, as it is a special trade of Keswick, a 
 trade that should be a very flourishing industry did not our government get all their 
 pencils in Germany, as one of the men indignantly remarked. But laborers, boatmen, 
 gardeners, shepherds, tailors, and many another craft are all here banded together in 
 pursuit of the beautiful, and in devotion to their work: and there is among thein, by rea- 
 son of their teaching, something of the spirit of the Nuremberg wood-carvers of old, 
 something of the attention to a tendril or a flower which in its highest degree gave fame 
 to such a man as Benvenuto Cellini." (From the Review of Reviews for November, 1896, p. 
 620, as abridged from the Fortnightly Review for the October preceding.)

 Miss A. M. Wakefield, ( ). musical composer, authoress, and lecturer. Miss 
 Wakefield's remarkable abilities are best presented by the following quotations: 
 
 "The lecture combined all the pleasure of a high class concert, with the fruit of much 
 research and musical culture set forth in the most attractive way. Miss Wakefield is an 
 ideal lecturer. She has something magnetic in her personality, and directly she begins 
 to speak a chain of sympathy is established between her and her hearers— a chain which 
 they, on their part, are loath to break. * * * Miss Wakefield has a sympathetic, cul- 
 tured voice, and her expression was dictated by the keenest intelligence. We wish that 
 all ladies who attempt to sing ballads would copy her style in one particular — viz., the 
 clearness of her enunciation. She spoke her word as well as sang them, thereby convev- 
 ing a lesson much needed both on the concert platform and in the drawing room. '— Dun- 
 dee Advertiser. 
 
 "A considerable audience assembled last night at Princes' Hall, Picadilly, to hear 
 Miss Wakefield s lecture-recital on 'Songs of the Four Nations'' the very popular and 
 successful collection of old national songs of England. Scotland. Ireland and Wales, 
 issued by Mr. Harold Boulton and Mr. Somervell. Her Royal Highness the Princess 
 Louise was unavoidably prevented from coming, but the Marquess of Lome and many 
 other distinguished supporters of the institution were present. Miss Wakefield held the 
 attention of her audience for nearly two hours, while she discoursed in an agreeable and 
 occasionally erudite manner, on the various characteristics of our national folk-music; 
 and she sang in all eighteen songs illustrating the various themes of her lecture. Her 
 rich contralto voice was heard to great advantage in 'The Mackintosh's Lament.' the 
 specimen of Highland song chosen for illustration, and in the Welsh 'All Through the 
 Night.' which she sang with great taste and tenderness: while the patriotic emotions of 
 various sections of those present were stirred bv a vigorous rendering of 'Ye Mariners of 
 England.' 'Scots Wha Hae,' and 'Shule Agra.' a'n old Irish Jacobite love-song. The mys- 
 teries of the 'Scotch Snap.' the 'constantly repeated tonic at the close of many Irish 
 melodies.' the peculiarities of Welsh Pennillion singing, were all duly detailed, and made 
 more interesting the sympathetic and musician-like rendering of the songs.'' — St. James 
 Gazette. 
 
 "Avery interesting lecture on Irish Melodies, with numerous vocal illustrations, 
 was recently delivered at St. Andrews by Miss Wakefield. The lecture belongs to a series 
 of three, in which the Volkslieder of the sister islands are dealt with. Apart from the in- 
 trinsic artistic merit of these lectures, they are of especial value and interest as object-

 lessons in the national traits and race-tendencies of the English, Scottish, and Irish 
 peoples. A characteristic song, rendered with sympathetic insight and dramatic fire, 
 may do more than pages of disquisition to reveal the character and temperament of a 
 people. The art of folk-music owes nothing to exotic influences, or to scholarly training; 
 it is unpremeditated and spontaneous. It is composed by the people for the people, it is 
 the natural language of that mood and temperament, when feeling and sensation pass 
 out of the region of mere articulate words and finds expression in melody. In national 
 minstrelsy words and music cannot be dissociated from each other. The songs and bal- 
 lads of the people come down from a time when the two were one, and are the truthful 
 expression of the nation's inmost soul. In judging of the emotional influence, apart 
 from the technical nature of national music, it is not always possible to discriminate to 
 what extent we are moved by the melody, apart from the words. And so, in judging. Irish 
 melodies, it must be borne in mind that the earliest songs of the people were sung in a 
 language which is outside our knowledge and beyond our judgment, and that in that re- 
 spect these songs differ from those of Scotland, where words and music are found in per- 
 fect union."— The Saturday Review. 
 
 "As illustrating the subject of her lecture, Miss Wakefield sang nearly twenty Scot- 
 tish songs. These were given with such genuine appreciation, refinement, and finish, as 
 to make the entertainment one of singular merit. The lecturer possesses a mezzo-soprano 
 voice of unusual richness and volume, and this she uses with a skill only too seldom pos- 
 essed by professional singers. Every song was listened to with delight, and if there was 
 less of boisterous applause than is us'ual when popular airs are given, it was probably the 
 greater compliment to the uniformly high quality of Miss Wakefield's vocal efforts. The 
 subject is one that well deserves the attention of musicians so able and so enthusiastic 
 as Miss Wakefield "—Manchester Guardian. 
 
 "The Eedland Park Hall was comfortably filled last evening, when Miss Wakefield, 
 the composer of the popular 'No! Sir!' and other ballads, delivered a musical lecture on 
 •Scotch Melodies.' Miss Wakefield entertained her audience for nearly two hours with a 
 most interesting dissertation upon Scottish songs of all kinds, illustrated with frequent 
 rendering of the principal songs mentioned in her remarks. Indeed, there was quite as 
 much illustration as lecture about the performance — a proportion which seemed to be 
 fully appreciated by the audience. It is no small task to deliver an address of fairly con- 
 siderable length, and to sing about twenty songs to one's own accompaniment in between, 
 but this Miss Wakefield accomplished without any signs of fatigue. It is, perhaps, not 
 making an invidious comparison to say that the musical part of the lecture was more in- 
 teresting than the lecture itself, but without the explanatory passages between each 
 illustration the songs would have lost half their charm. The lecture, in fact, showed that 
 considerable research had been undertaken in its preparation, and gave evidence of wide 
 knowledge of her subject, on the part of the lecturer. Miss Wakefield's singing was most 
 expressive and sympathetic, and her rich mezzo-soprano voice seemed peculiarly adapted 
 to the interpretation of the stirring and of the pathetic melodies with which the lecture 
 was interspersed."— Bristol Mercury. 
 
 "Last night Miss Wakefield gave the second of her charming lecture-recitals for 
 the present season at the Storey Institute, Lancaster, to a crowded and delighted audi- 
 ence. The subject was 'Irish National Melodies,' which was handled in that artistic and 
 skillful style for which Miss Wakefield has long been noted in all matters of a musical 
 character. The Rev. S. Hastings, rector of Halton, presided, the programme of vocal 
 illustrations'contained no fewer than twenty-one songs, which were sung with excellent 
 effect by Miss Wakefield, who accompanied herself on a grand piano." — Lancaster Observer. 
 
 "A subject rarely dealt with in so entertaining a manner— that of old English melo- 
 dies—was lectured upon at the Art Club, Upper Parliament street, by Miss Wakefield, 
 the popular authoress of many songs and articles dealing with musical history. Miss 
 Wakefield said at the outset that her object in lecturing upon national music was to stir 
 up enthusiasm for the old ballads, which were so much better than a great deal of the 
 trash sung at present day ballad concerts. English melodies divided themselves into two 
 styles— love songs and patriotic songs. The lecturer, accompanying herself, sang 'Sweet, 
 if you love me,' one of the hymn-like class of airs usually attached to the early English 
 love song, and the 'Song for the Battle of Agincourt' (1415). a fine example of the patriotic 
 songs of that period. Miss Wakefield explained the distinguishing characteristics of 
 melodies of each period with which she proceeded to deal in a chronological sketch, 
 singing 'Summer is y" coming in,' the earliest specimen obtainable of national melody, 
 and dated about 1250." An enlarged facsimile of the original of this beautiful round, with 
 Latin instructions, was shown. As illustrative of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. 
 Miss Wakefield sang 'Chevy Chase,' with respect to which Ben Johnson said he would 
 rather claim the authorship of that than anything he had ever written. It was in Henry 
 VIII's reign that the really interesting period of English music commenced. The selec- 
 tions illustrative of this phase of musical history included King Henry the Eighth's song, 
 'Pastime with Good Company,' and O Death, rock me asleep,' a song attributed to Anne 
 Boleyn, whose wretched history made this probable. Passing on to the reign of Queen 
 Elizabeth, Miss Wakefield said that the selection of examples became more serious, for 
 at that period music was so very general, that, fond as anyone might have been of it, they 
 must have had a great deal too much at that time. Some of the most delightful songs 
 were the settings appearing in Shakspearean plays, of which excellent examples were 
 'Oh. willow, willow, willow,' and 'Ophelia's Fragments.' The other illustrations of the 
 Elizabethan period, extracts from which Miss Wakefield sang, were, 'Now I needs must 
 part,' 'To the Maypole haste away,' and 'The Bailiff's Daughter of Islington." The reigns 
 of James I and Charles II produced many beautiful songs which were still household 
 words. Though the Commonwealth was a sad time for English music, still even that 
 period gave us the fine Cavilier song. 'Here's a health unto his Majesty." Next Miss 
 Wakefield gave extracts from the ballads of the eighteenth century, thus concluding a 
 most interesting and highly instructive lecture." — The Liverpool Courier. 
 
 "Last night a most interesting and enjovable lecture was given at the Merchant 
 Venturer's School by Miss A. M. Wakefield, who has devoted a good deal of attention to 
 national songs. Miss Wakefield was frequently applauded, and her lecture was certainly 
 amongst the most attractive of the excellent series at the Merchant Venturers' School. 
 The Dean of Bristol proposed a vote of thanks to Miss Wakefield, and alluded to the gain

 to Bristol these lectures had been. Seldom had they had one which had so enraptured 
 them as the one that night. They could not help noting the singularly perfect articula- 
 tion ot Miss Wakefield in her charming illustrations, a feature they did not always find 
 with singers, and thev had no difficulty in recognizing her singing was English through- 
 out."— The Western Dally Press. 
 
 ••Those who heard Miss Wakefield could not fail to appreciate in a very high degree 
 the excellent manner in which she first criticised and afterwards gave vocal illustrations 
 of a variety of national melodies, dating from the 13th to the 18th centuries. Examples 
 were treated in admirable fashion by Miss Wakefield, who, being gifted with a voice of 
 great flexibility and sweetness of tone, was able to do justice to the beauties of the com- 
 positions she selected." — The Leeds Mercury.
