EDITOR'S PREFACE. 
 
 For ninny years the Hon. Sanford C. Hinsdale of Denver, 
 Colo., was engaged in collecting notes relating to all persons of 
 the Hinsdale name in America, as well as those who, having 
 other names, were descendants of Robert Hinsdale, the firai 
 ancestor in this country, hut realizing that he could not bring 
 the matter to publication, he turned over all his data to the 
 late Herbert C. Andrews, himself a descendant of Robert Hins- 
 dale, and who had adopted genealogical research as his profession. 
 
 At the untimely death of Mr. Andrews in the spring of 
 1905, the compilation had been practically completed, and his 
 parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Hinsdale Andrews, of Lombard, 
 111., feeling that it devolved upon them, in memory of their son 
 and in fulfillment of what they knew to be his earnest desire, to 
 publish the work, have done so. 
 
 Thanks are due to all who have in any way aided in the 
 compilation of the work, but particular mention should be made 
 of the assistance rendered by Mrs. Mary E. Truax, of Craw- 
 fordsville, Ind., and the late Samuel Burritt Hinsdale, of 
 Woodbridge, N. J. 
 
 To the editor has fallen the task of revision, preparation 
 for the press, and issuance in book form.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The following panes have been written thai the records of 
 an old, and not unworthy, family may, for a time at least, be 
 preserved from oblivion. Family pride is inherent in every 
 
 Belf-respecting human being. We have standards of excellence 
 
 to which we never attain. But if some of our own blood seem 
 
 to have reached the high ideals which we have set for ourselves, 
 
 we should be all the more encouraged to press forward. Not 
 
 servile imitation, but a healthy emulation of noble traits, sets 
 
 its seal on worthy character. Some names will here be found 
 
 which have resounded far. Of others it may be said, 
 
 " Along the cool sequester'd vale of life 
 They kept the noiseless tenor of their way." 
 
 Hut they are therefore not less brave, not less noble, not less 
 self-sacrificing that the noisy world has not heard of them. 
 Perhaps their names alone appear in this volume. But those 
 who are near of kin and knew their lives will call their virtues to 
 remembrance. 
 
 No claim is made that the following pages are free from errors. 
 All that can be said is that, so far as possible, the book aims to 
 present a faithful record. Wherein it fails the fault is not 
 always to be imputed to the compiler, who may have been mis- 
 led by untrustworthy information. Any corrections or additions 
 from any source will be highly appreciated, as in the event of 
 another edition, they will be of great value. We believe that 
 almost every person in this country, of the Hinsdale name, 
 may here be able to trace his ancestral line back to Robert of 
 Dedham. We cannot, in all cases, furnish the enquirer a 
 carriage, but if we can set up mile-posts to lead him to his 
 journey's end, we feel that our labor will not have been in vain. 
 
 We have added an account of the French or Walloon family. 
 of noble blood, but the links of alliance with this family, if 
 such exist, have not been traced. If any of the family, possessed 
 of means and leisure, should desire to supply these connecting 
 links, it is our belief that this task can be accomplished without 
 
x INTRODUCTION 
 
 any insuperable difficulty. We do not feel called upon to ally 
 ourselves with medieval nobility of the old world. Nobility of 
 the American type is good enough for us. However, no criti- 
 cism is here meant of those who hold different views. We, as 
 a family, have fought and shed our heart's blood for our present 
 liberty — a liberty which we, with mighty efforts, have helped to 
 create, which arose from amidst alarms and garments rolled 
 in blood, and which is loved as much for what it has cost as for 
 what is hoped for it. This we hold dear — dearer far than all 
 titles which kings can bestow. 
 
 The history of every man is a history of tendencies. This 
 simply means, that, other things being equal, he will conduct 
 his life along the lines which for him are the lines of least 
 resistance. These tendencies arise from heredity, and we can 
 see ourselves in the summed up traits, temperaments and 
 characters of our ancestors. But only as through a glass darkly. 
 For differences of environment and education wield a mighty, 
 and oftentimes a controlling influence. Genealogy, therefore, 
 is a study of ourselves. It is a following out of the old 
 Delphic Oracle — "Know thyself. " The present work is 
 tentative. It is an attempt to break up a field which has 
 lain so long fallow. It is to be fondly hoped that others 
 with greater means and leisure may carry on the work here 
 begun, and see the yellowing harvest.

 ORIGIN OF THE NAME AND FAMILY.— The family of 
 
 Hinsdale hail its origin in the district of Loos, in the country of 
 Liege, now in Belgium, where it was settled as early as the end of 
 the twelfth century. This district was in ancient times in Brabant, 
 which was a part of France. While the family was doubtless origi- 
 nally French it made alliances with Dutch and German famil es 
 situated in the Low Lands, and the name is as much Dutch as 
 French in its derivation. " Dal " or " Dale " is the French for a 
 valley or vale, and corresponds to the English " Dale," the Dutch 
 " Dael," and the German " Thai." The surname was therefore 
 taken from a locality. It is found spelled abroad Hinisdal, Hinis- 
 dael, Henisdael, Henisdal, Hinesdale, Henesdale, Hinisdale, Hinnis- 
 dale, Hynsdale, Hinsdael, and Hinnisdal. The last spelling is the 
 one most common in France. In addition we find the name in 
 England, Hensdell, Endesdale, and Ensdale; while Robert Hinsdale 
 the emigrant rendered it variously as Hinsdell, Hensdell, Hinsdall, 
 etc. The various spellings of the name have no bearing on the 
 origin of the family. The clerks and recorders wrote it according 
 to their own fancy, mostly by sound, while frequently a member 
 of the family wrote his own name in several ways — especially true 
 of Robert, the emigrant, and his immediate posterity. The " h " is 
 only a breathing, and was frequently omitted in the old English 
 records, where we find Ensdale and Endesdale. Whatever the 
 spelling, we have abundant evidence that all of the name are de- 
 scended from the ancient French family, an account of the elder 
 branches of which appears further on. The name is not found in 
 England earlier than the sixteenth century, and we have only a few- 
 references to it then. It is distinctively continental in its deriva- 
 tion. Neither Lower's " Patronymica Britannica " nor Bardsley's 
 " English Surnames" mention it, and an examination of works on 
 English county families, landed gentry, nobility and peerage has 
 failed to reveal such a family. So we may reasonably conclude thai 
 we cannot look to England for the seat of the remote ancestors of 
 the emigrant Robert Hinsdale. We have evidences, however, that 
 
 11 
 
12 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 he came from England, probably from the vicinity of London or 
 County Essex. Several of the settlers of Dedham, Mass., came from 
 Dedham, County Essex, and he may have been among the number. 
 In 1663, he and his wife conveyed lands in Medfield, Mass., to Jere- 
 miah Tauke, citizen and clothworker of London as security for the 
 payment of certain sums. We deduce from the conveyance that 
 they had known Tauke before coming to America. Furthermore, the 
 prominent part Robert Hinsdale took from the first in the civil, 
 military and church affairs of the Dedham settlement would cer- 
 tainly indicate that he had become a member of the band which 
 settled the place, before it left England. We know also from his lead- 
 ing station in the colony that he must have occupied a similar position 
 in the old world. Of the various emigrants treated of in this manu- 
 script it will be seen that where the families have been traced into 
 England, those settlers who occupied as high a place as did Rob- 
 bert Hinsdale were of families of the higher middle class in England 
 and invariably derived from ancient stock. It is strange, therefore, 
 that no early mention of the name Hinsdale appears in England. 
 We cannot suppose that Robert Hinsdale's ancestors were of the 
 lowest peasant class and too insignificant for record. Therefore the 
 absence of such record can be accounted for only by the supposition 
 that his immediate ancestors came to England from some other 
 country, most probably France or the Low Countries; for there 
 was the seat of the Hinsdale family, and in these localities the name 
 was common. Furthermore, France had been torn up during the 
 latter half of the sixteenth century and from twenty to fifty years 
 before the birth of the emigrant Robert Hinsdale, by the persecutions 
 of the Huguenots. Many of this sect fled to England for protection. 
 The Pettibones and Bissells, mentioned elsewhere in this work, 
 were among these Huguenot families, and there were many others 
 who settled in Massachusetts and Connecticut. The town of New 
 Rochelle, N. Y., was settled entirely by refugees from Rochelle, 
 France, and the south is filled with descendants of the ancient 
 Huguenots, some of the families emigrating first to England and 
 later to America, and others coming here direct. That Robert 
 Hinsdale's ancestors were among the Huguenots who fled from 
 France to England after the massacre of St. Bartholomew seems 
 quite possible. It is evident that they were descendants of the 
 ancient French family, and their reason for leaving their native 
 country was probably one of religion. It will be noticed that the 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 13 
 
 history of the French Hinsdale Family deals only with the lines of 
 
 the eldest sons, no mention being made of the posterity in the younger 
 branches. Thus there are numerous possibilities for Robert Hins- 
 dale's ancestors to have come into the pedigree of this ancient 
 family. The most important evidence we have for such a deduction 
 
 is that Robert appears as a family name in the earliest branch of 
 the Hinsdale family. The founder of the line was a RoBEBTUS 
 
 de H in. Nisn \i. living in 1 17 I. and no less than five of his immediate 
 descendants bore the name of Robert prior to 1600. Robert is a 
 French baptismal name and is found comparatively seldom in 
 England in the Kith and 17th centuries. The fact that our emigrant 
 ancestor bore it, and that it occurs in nearly every family of the 
 French Hinnisdals for several generations before the time he was 
 born, is a striking confirmation of our supposition that Robert 
 Hinsdale was of French origin, and descended from the founder of 
 the family in the twelfth century. There are several places in the 
 pedigree where his branch could have originated. No mention is 
 made of the younger sons of Robertus de Hinnisdal. 1174, only 
 " Gilles his oldest son." Similarly no mention is made of any of 
 the children of this Gilles except his son Herman. Herman's second 
 son Guillaume may have had descendants, as might Henri de 
 Hinnisdal, son of the second Herman. Later we come to a Ro- 
 bert who was living in 1472 and died before 1488, and his nephew, 
 another Robert, living in 1488. It is probable that one or both of 
 these Roberts left descendants, and our emigrant ancestor may 
 have derived his pedigree from one of them or else from one of their 
 more remote relatives named above. It is to be regretted that the 
 " Archives of the French Nobility " do not contain a more com- 
 plete pedigree on the younger branches. This is accounted for by 
 the fact that the estates and titles passed to the eldest son from 
 generation to generation. Unless a younger son contracted an 
 alliance with an heiress, or inherited part of the estates from a 
 maternal ancestor, his posterity was not included in the peerages, 
 as they would not rank among the nobility. What Macaulay says 
 of the aristocracy of England applies equally to that of France: 
 "It was constantly receiving members from the people, and con- 
 stantly sending down members to mingle with the people. Any 
 gentleman might become a peer. The younger son of a peer was 
 but a gentleman." To sum up our argument we know that the 
 name of Hinsdale, how r ever spelt, is of French origin, and we think 
 
14 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 that all of the name are descended from the ancient noble family- 
 settled in the Low Lands. Our emigrant ancestor bore a Christian 
 name very common in the early branches of the French family. 
 The surname is not found in England more than fifty years previous 
 to his time, nor the Christian name very extensively. This points 
 conclusively to his French origin. In addition we have the Hu- 
 guenot persecutions and unsettled state of society in France as a 
 motive for the emigration of his immediate ancestors to England, 
 We may assume, therefore, until we have positive evidence to the 
 contrary, that he came from a younger branch of the ancient and 
 noble Hinnisdal family, settled in the Low Lands as early as the 
 twelfth century ; that this younger branch of the family was of the 
 middle class; that one of the descendants was induced to leave 
 France, probably on account of religious persecutions, during the 
 latter part of the sixteenth century; that he settled in England 
 probably in County Essex, or in the vicinity of London ; that his de- 
 scendant bearing the ancient family name of Robert, inspired by 
 the feeling of unrest and love of religious liberty which had impelled 
 his Huguenot ancestor to flee from the Continent, joined the Puritan 
 exodus from England, came to Massachusetts, there helped in 
 founding the colony, and became the ancestor of all of the name of 
 Hinsdale in the United States. 
 
 Regarding the Coat of Arms of the family, our right to bear it 
 is unquestioned in view of the evidences above. There is but one 
 Hinsdale coat of arms on record, that granted to the earliest branch 
 of the family, and the description of which heads the following 
 article. Had it been granted to some peer contemporaneous with 
 our emigrant ancestor our right could be questioned, but there is 
 no doubt that our Robert was directly descended from that Knight 
 of the twelfth century who first assumed the escutcheon. The de- 
 scription of the arms is found in the French armouries and peerages, 
 and has been verified as that to which the ancient family of "de 
 Hinnisdal " was entitled. In support of the right of the American 
 family of Hinsdale to use these Arms we quote from F. Schuyler 
 Mathews' ' ' Writing Table of the Twentieth Century " : "-It does not 
 matter in the least whether the London College of Arms recognizes 
 his right to the relic or not. One thing he knows and rejoices in, 
 the strange device he beholds is the same as that which commanded 
 the respect and reverence of his ancestors. He naturally respects 
 it also, and is not disposed to bury it because it happens to repre- 
 sent an ancient and decayed aristocracy."

 The house of de Hinnisdalf had its origin in the district of Loos, 
 in the country of Liege. Its founders, feudatories and chiefs, were 
 defenders of the Imperial Abbey of Saint-Tron, and figured among 
 the nobility at about the end of the twelfth century. The dis- 
 tinction which their descendants acquired, and their possessions 
 and family alliances, had rendered the name known throughout 
 those countries for a long time before the period at which it made 
 itself known in France by reason of its honorable services in be- 
 half of that country. Moreover, the most ancient references found 
 in the country of Liege when searches were made in order to estab- 
 lish court privileges, in compliance with the statute, never mention 
 the name except by distinguishing it by the title of " Very noble 
 and very ancient family of de Hinnisdal." 
 
 *In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, by reason of the alliance by 
 marriage between Herman III. de Hinnisdal with Jeanne de Sepper, sev- 
 eral generations superimposed the escutcheon of de Hinnisdal on that 
 of de Sepper without any reason known therefor. Several authors have 
 engraved and described this simple addition as if it were a part of the coat 
 of arms of de Hinnisdal. This is an error which we think proper to have 
 corrected here. 
 
 fThe name of de Hinnisdal is written in different ways in the charters 
 and chronicles, to-wit : Hinisdal, Hinisdael, Henisdael, Henisdal, Hinesdal, 
 Henesdale, Hinisdale, Hinnisdale, Hynsdael, Hinsdael, and Hinnisdal. This 
 last spelling is the one we have followed in all branches of this article on 
 the Continental familv. 
 
16 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 Many French and Brabantine authors have spoken of this family, 
 but all in a manner have been, if not inexact, at least very incom- 
 plete. The labor which we have given to the question will not add 
 any weight to the opinion which those authors had of their anti- 
 quity, but it fills up the numerous omissions which their works 
 leave. 
 
 GAUTIER DE HINNISDAL (Walter de Hinnisdal), born 
 about the beginning of the twelfth century, is known through a 
 charter, or letters patent, dated about 1170, by which Philippe 
 d' Alsace, Count of Flanders, confirmed a gift or donation made to 
 the church of Liege by the said Gautier de Hinnisdal and Marie his 
 wife, of twenty measures of grain to be taken from the land of Vivier ; 
 the donation was afterwards indorsed or approved by Robert, the 
 son of Gautier de Hinnisdal, and Marguerite his wife. (The origi- 
 nal parchment still exists in the cabinet or library of the late M. 
 d'Hozier, and is sealed with the seal of the Count of Flanders in 
 yellow wax, hanging with a double pendant.) 
 
 ROBERTUS DE HENISDAL (Robert de Hinnisdal), Knight, 
 probably brother of Gautier, authorized with Gilles, his oldest son, 
 by charter in the month of May 1174, a donation made to the church 
 of Liege on account of Aales (Alix), the wife of the aforementioned 
 Robert, of the revenue to be derived from thirty pounds to be taken 
 after his death, from the estate of Roseem, for the repose of his 
 soul and to the blessed memory of Robert of Fayel, his father. The 
 original parchment of this act is preserved in the same collection and 
 sealed with the seals of Robert and Aales. Nothing but a fragment 
 remains of that of Robert. 
 
 GILLES DE HINNISDAL (Gilbert de Hinnisdal), Knight, 
 with castle at Fumal, the first of the name, born about the middle 
 of the twelfth century, is the head of the descendants of this family, 
 according to family titles and historians. The shield with his coat 
 of arms was placed in the Crusader's Hall in the Museum at Ver- 
 sailles, as having taken part under the Count of Flanders in the 
 Expedition of King Philippe- Auguste to Syria in 1190. The doc- 
 ument which establishes this fact consists of the letters patent 
 by which this monarch as suzerain and testamentary executor of 
 Philippe d'Alsace, Count of Flanders (who died of the pestilence 
 at the siege of Acre, June 1, 1191), substituted his guaranty to that 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 17 
 
 given by the aforesaid Count, for a loan of 700 silver marks made 
 to Genoese merchants by several of his chevaliers, to-uit: Guill- 
 aume (William) de Linden, Anion] d'Kstrees, Gautier de Ligne, 
 Ricker de Wasquchol, Ungues de Lezennes, Gilles de Binnisdal, 
 Baudouin de Hennin, Roger de Landas and ( ierard de Mude. The 
 original parchment of these letters patent, dated " In camp, at 
 Acre," in 1191, and sealed in green wax with the seal of I'hilippe- 
 Auguste, exists today in the archives of the Prince de Ligne. 
 
 This is the tenor of the document (in Latin): "In the name 
 of the Holy ami undivided Trinity. Amen. Philipus, by the 
 grace of God, King of the Franks: Let all those present know and 
 those in the future hereafter to come, that as feudal officials and 
 as executors of the last will of our once most dear Philippe, Count 
 of Flanders. 
 
 (Then follows a page of Latin in the legal verbiage of that day, 
 setting forth the transaction with the thanks of the King). 
 
 Gilles de Hinnisdal is mentioned in 1234, as being the father 
 of Herman, who follows: (Butken's Supplement aux trophees de 
 Brabant, tome I. livre 8, p. 443). 
 
 HERMAN DE HINNISDAL, the first of the name, Knight; 
 still living in 1234. He married Catherine de Heurne, a lady 
 of Heurne-Saint-Pierre, in the country or castlery of Audenard. 
 He left two sons: 
 
 1. DANIEL, the first of the name, who succeeded him. 
 
 2. GUILLAUME DE HINNISDAL, who died in 1295. 
 
 DANIEL DE HINNISDAL, the first of the name, Knight ban- 
 neret, Lord of Heurne, married Mechtilde de Sassembrouck.* 
 He died on Saint Elizabeth's day, Nov. 19, 1298, and was buried 
 in the church of Heurne-Saint-Pierre, near Wechmael, where his 
 tomb was still to be seen in 170S.f He is represented on the 
 
 *Henricourt, author of a work entitled " Miroir des Nobles de Hasbaye," 
 written between 1353 and 1400, says on page 247, that the house of 
 Sassembrouck was formerly so powerful that it was able to make war against 
 the Counts de Loos and even ventured to demand from them an appeal to 
 arms. 
 
 fThis fact has been verified by the bailiffs of Namur and certified to 
 in letters of M. de Cratiembagh, .Marshal and Lieutenant of his Excellency, 
 Count de Meghen, the Governor General and Chief Bailiff of the towns, 
 countries und county of Namur, on March 17, 1667, and certified to 
 Philippe-Herman de Hinnisdal.

 On each side of his head is a banner and on his left side is a great 
 shield or buckler, showing a silver field bearing three black ravens. % 
 He had sons: 
 
 WATHIEU DE HINNISDAL (Walter de Hinnisdal), the first 
 of the name, Knight and Lord of Heurne in 1300, died in the month 
 of June, 1353, according to a tablet in relief made by his eldest son 
 in the Abbey of Saint-Tron. The registry of the fiefs of this Abbey 
 sets forth that the Lord Wathieu de Hinnisdal, Knight, held in 
 full fief a house with many other possessions near Kerckum, by 
 reason of which fief he held four vassals. Wathieu is also recog- 
 nized as the son of Daniel de Hinnisdal, Knight, and of the Lady 
 Mechtilde de Sassembrouck, in the record of Reminiscere, 1354. 
 He married Marguerite de Steenhuy,* by whom he had three 
 sons. (Supplement aux trophees de Brabant pp. 443, 444, where 
 the genealogical tablet or tree of the house of Hinnisdal will be 
 found.) 
 
 GILLES DE HINNISDAL, Knight. It will be seen by the 
 two registers of the fiefs of the Abbey of Saint-Tron, quoted in 
 that record at E. A. fol. 84, S. fol. 303, that after the death of his 
 father, he took back again the fief of the afore-mentioned Abbey, 
 the fief of Kerckum, on June 10, 1353, in the presence of Arnoul 
 de Dyck, Knight, and Wauthier de Gorseme, Lambert Schouteek, 
 Daniel de Zerckingen, etc., vassals of the Abbey of Saint-Tron; 
 and that with the consent of the Abbot and in the presence of 
 those same vassals transferred half of the said fief to Herman de 
 Hinnisdal, his brother. (Copy of deed delivered Nov. 9, 1785, 
 
 |The title here indicated in this document has been certified to by 
 two certificates of the King of Arms of the Emperor and provincial heralds 
 of the district of Bas-Rhin, under date of Oct. 17, 1716 and 1718, and of 
 January, 1726. 
 
 *This was a house of ancient knighthood which took its name from a castle 
 situated in the district d'Alost and was allied to the houses of Bethune, 
 de Blondel-Pamele, de Snoy, de Croix, and de Gottignies. The lands of the 
 Steenhuys bear the title of a principality. (Bushing). Marguerite, the 
 Princess of Steenhuys, was heiress of the elder branch of this house and 
 married about the year 1435, Jean de Bruges, Lord of la Gruthuse. (Histoire 
 des Grands Officiers de la Couronne, t. II. p. 767.)

 refers to the time when court privileges were established.) Od 
 May •_':>. 1350, Gilles de Hinnisdal transferred the other half of the 
 fief of Kerckuni to his niece Emilie, a daughter of the deceased 
 Wathieu de Hinnisdal, and slie received the investiture in the 
 presence of Gerard van den Mmeck. her guardian or administrator. 
 (Copy of deed delivered Nov. 11, 17N5, under the seal of the feudal 
 court of said Abbey.) GilleS died without issue. 
 
 WATHIEU DE HINNISDAL, Knight, was substituted by the 
 Abbot of Saint-Tron in L355; lie died before May 23, 1356. He 
 had married Emilie de GxjlGHOWEN (Supplement au\ trophees 
 de Brabant, p. 443), who afterwards married Gerard van den 
 Broeck.f She had, by her first husband, two children: 
 
 1. HERMAN DE HINNISDAL, who died in his youth before the 
 year 1356. 
 
 2. EMILIE DE HINNISDAL, who transferred to her uncle Herman 
 on May 23, 1356, half of the fief of Kerckuni, which her other 
 uncle, Gilles de Hinnisdal, had presented to her on the same day. 
 
 HERMAN DE HINNISDAL, second of the name, Knight and 
 Lord of Kerckuni, received both halves of this fief in 1353 and 
 1356 by donation of his brother Gilles and his niece Emilie. On 
 May 23, 135G, Herman was invested with the title to both sections 
 of Kerckuni from the Abbey of Saint-Tron and declared his obli- 
 gation that he owed to the Monastery two fiefs by reason of the 
 two parts of the fief which had formerly consisted of but one. This 
 he declared in the presence of Gheymard de Specule, his guar- 
 dian or administrator, and was to account for both of these fiefalty 
 rights which had heretofore been single. (Copy of paper deliv- 
 ered Nov. 11, 17S5.) Herman was entrusted by Louis II. of Marie, 
 Count of Flanders, with a mission to the Duke of Normandy, sub- 
 sequently Charles V. of France. This latter Prince in letters dated 
 at Hesdin, Sept. 27, 1363, ordered his treasurer, Aymar Bour- 
 gaise, to allow a credit from his treasury of the sum of 200 francs 
 in gold: "Paid to our very dear and well beloved Messire Herman

 de Hinnisdal, Knight, to whom we have made this gift because of 
 the journey which he has taken to us at the command of our very- 
 dear and beloved cousin Count of Flanders." (The original parch- 
 ment is found in the cabinet of M. d'Hozier.) Herman II. was 
 still living on April 9, 1373. At that time, Gheymard de Specule 
 being dead, Herman de Hinnisdal appointed in his place Eustache 
 de Misen as administrator of his fiefs. (Registre E. A. des fiefs 
 de Saint-Tron, fol. 350. C.) Herman married a lady of the noble 
 house of Guighowen, according to the records of the Council of 
 Namur, on March 17, 1367. From the records of the time, we judge 
 that she must have been a sister of Emilie, who was the wife of 
 Wathieu de Hinnisdal. Herman left two sons: 
 
 1. HERMAN III. description of whom follows. 
 
 2. HENRI DE HINNISDAL, to whom his father bequeathed one 
 of the two fiefs of Kerckum according to the record of the Abbey 
 of Saint-Tron. It is supposed in accordance with the date, that 
 Henri de Hinnisdal had a son. Herman de Hinnisdal II. attached 
 himself to Louis, Duke of Orleans, son of King Charles V. of France, 
 to whom he became a vassal or liegeman, and received a pension of 
 100 pounds according to an order of this Prince, dated at Paris, 
 Sept. 6, 1404; being an order to Jean le Flamert, his treasurer, to 
 deliver to his very dear and well beloved Messire Herman de Hinnis- 
 dal, Knight, of the country of Flanders, the aforementioned sum 
 of 100 pounds in consideration of which he had become his liegeman. 
 (Copy of papers delivered Nov. 17, 1785, from Abbey Saint-Tron.) 
 
 HERMAN DE HINNISDAL, the third of the name, Esquire, 
 Knight and Lord of the fiefs of Kerckum, married Jeanne de 
 Sepper, who died in 1396 and was buried in the church at Kerckum. 
 (A. B. Supplement aux trophees de Brabant). The escutcheon 
 of his arms and that of Jeanne de Sepper, his wife, were to be seen 
 in 1708, in the church at Wechmael on the tomb of Herman, their 
 son. 
 
 HERMAN DE HINNISDAL, the fourth of the name, Esquire 
 and Lord of Kerckum, master and protector of the town of Ton- 
 gree, married Catherine de Gutschoven. Both were buried 
 in the choir of the parish church at Wechmael in the country of 
 Loos. Their tombs bear their armorials with that of their father 
 and mother and still existed in 1708; that of Herman de Hinnisdal 
 records that he died March 8, 1418, and that of Catherine, that

 HERMAN DE HINNISDAL, the fifth of the name, Knight 
 and Lord of Kerckum, gave away through Michel Schroots, his 
 attorney, half of his ownership in Kerckum to the Abbey of Saint- 
 Tron, June 22, 1419. He married, in 1431, Issabelle de Rickel.* 
 He is described as the Mayor or Chief Councilman of the town 
 of Saint-Tronf in this deed. He made over in this act of re- 
 mission, recorded in the feudal court of the Abbey of Saint- 
 Tron, February 1, 1436, the two fiefs which the late Herman, his 
 father, formerly possessed, and which formerly belonged to Wa- 
 thieu de Hinnisdal, Knight; and the said quit deed was in the 
 hands of Lord Jean de Beesde, Abbot, who was represented by 
 Lambert de Werfengeys, in the presence of Laurent Hillen, Theo- 
 dore de Heusden and several other fief holders. (Copy of papers 
 delivered November 17, 1735). Herman V. was still living in 
 1454, and died previous to May 30, 1472. On November 20 and 
 21, 1609, the officers of justice at Saint-Tron and Roos and the 
 Lord of Rickel attested that Herman de Hinnisdal and Issabelle 
 de Rickel were represented on a window of the church of Stewordt 
 as a knight with his lady. They had two sons: 
 
 1. HERMAN VI., of whom we speak further on. 
 
 2. ROBERT DE HINNISDAL, who was living in 1472, and died 
 before the year 1488. 
 
 HERMAN DE HINNISDAL, sixth of the name, Lord of Kerc- 
 
 *Bolle, Lord of Rickel and vassal of Saint-Tron, married about the year 
 1380 a daughter of Raes de Haccourt, Lord of Haverson, and Osegne of 
 Liege. (Miroir des nobles de Hasbaye, pp. 218, 266.) 
 
 fThe magistracy of this town was always one of high honor in the Low 
 Countries, and was held in olden times only by the most noble families. The 
 Burgomasters, as the heads of the city troops during the wars, were always 
 chosen from among the noble families who followed the profession of arms, 
 and ordinarilv those who held those professions were invested with the rank 
 of Knighthood. (Voyez le Recueil heraldique des echevins et bourgmestres de 
 la noble cite de Liege.)

 kum, Council and Chamberlain of Charles the Bold of France, 
 Duke of Burgundy, paid homage with his brother Robert for the 
 two fiefs of Kerckum by Arnold de Beringhen, Abbot of Saint- 
 Tron, on May 30, 1472, in the presence of Herman de Mettecoven, 
 Guillaume de Waelhoven, Guillaume de Gutschoven and several 
 other vassals of this Abbey (record of the deed delivered Nov. 
 21, 1785, under the seal of the feudal court of said Abbey). Her- 
 man de Hinnisdal served under the Duke of Burgundy in the war 
 which he waged against Rene II., Duke of Lorraine, leagued against 
 him with King Louis XL and Emperor Frederick III. This is to 
 be seen by the letters of Duke Charles, written during the siege 
 of Mimes on April 14, 1475, wherein he thus expresses himself: 
 "Considering that the French, our enemies, have turned the lands 
 and lordships which our beloved and loyal Councilor and Cham- 
 berlain, Herman de Hinnisdal holds and possesses by maternal 
 inheritance in our said country of Haynau, and there carry on 
 many warlike expeditions, and that if they still be carried on, we 
 make known and authorize that for this purpose we have granted, 
 consented and agreed with the said Herman de Hinnisdal that 
 he may raise and hold all those who have anything in fief under 
 him and compel them to serve under him or under his orders dur- 
 ing these troubles and wars which we may have against the king 
 or as long as it shall please us." (The original is on parchment 
 in the library of M. d'Hozier.) Herman VI. had married Margue- 
 rite Schroots, together with whom he founded an annual mass 
 in the church at Kerckum. This lady afterwards married Guill- 
 aume Pollaer. By her first husband she had two sons: 
 
 1. HERMAN VII., who succeeded. 
 
 2. ROBERT DE HINNISDAL, who was living in 1488. 
 
 HERMAN DE HINNISDAL, seventh of the name, Master, 
 afterwards Knight, Lord of Kerckum, Chamberlain of Charles, 
 Archduke of Austria, and Prince of Spain (afterwards the Emperor 
 Charles V.), and Governor of Mechlin, succeeded in his youth to 
 his father-in-law, Guillaume Pollaer, as husband and security for 
 Marguerite Schroots and released one of the two fiefs of Kerckum 
 on April 4, 1480. On March 15, 1488, the said Guillaume Pollaer, in 
 the name of his wife, passed over the two fiefs of Kerckum to Her- 
 man and Robert de Hinnisdal, his step-sons. (Record in Latin, 
 sealed and signed.) On June 22, 1490, Herman de Hinnisdal, 
 
EONSDALK CKXKALOCY 23 
 
 Gentleman, made Michel Bchroote his attorney to give away th< 
 two fiefs of Kerckum in the manner Bpoken of. By letters dated 
 at Mechlin on April 27, 1509, the Emperor Maximilien and Charles, 
 the Archduke of Austria and Prince of Spain, decreed: "In con- 
 sideration of the grand, notable and loyal services which our dear 
 
 and loyal Messire Herman de Hinnisdal, Knight, Lord of Querckum 
 
 has rendered to us, both as a warrior and chamberlain to ourself, 
 Charles, in which capacity lie greatly, virtuously, and Loyally ac- 
 quitted himself and in many and different ways * * * we 
 have promised and do promise by these presents to provide 
 him with the condition and authority of Governor of our city of 
 Mechlin as soon as it shall become vacant, and we now do give, 
 bestow and accord the said state and office." (The original, signed 
 by Marguerite, daughter of the Emperor Maximilien, and with 
 the seal of the Emperor in red wax with double pendant, is in 
 the library of M. d'Hozier). He married Elizabeth de Langhon, 
 as appears by letters of Sept. 8, 1512, from the mayor's or council- 
 men's record of the town of Leeuw. His name appears again in an 
 act of 1519. (Supplement aux trophees de Brabant, p. 443.) 
 Other letters from the Emperor Charles V., dated Brussels, on Feb. 
 1, 1521, contain these words: "As our dear and loyal Knight, 
 Herman de Hinnisdal, Lord of Kerckum, in order to support in 
 the affairs which we have had to maintain and carry on by reason of 
 the present war (the war against King Francis I.), and also to pay 
 the men at arms of his following which he has been obliged on his 
 own private accoimt to spend 1000 livres of money in Flanders 
 * * * we make known that having considered all those things 
 and in consideration thereof and the pleasure and the services which 
 the said Herman de Hinnisdal has done for us, we have bestowed 
 and promised, and we do bestow and create and grant and promise, 
 in good faith, on the word of an Emperor by these presents, that 
 the said sum of 1000 livres shall be reimbursed and satisfied by our 
 treasurer at Brabant in the Louvain quarter." (The original is in 
 the library of M. d'Hozier.) After the death of Michel Schroots, Her- 
 man de Hinnisdal had substituted for him as guardian or adminis- 
 trator for half of the fiefs of Kerckum, Jean Zelis, a son of Henry 
 Zelis, who gave oath of fealty on Jan. 20, 1522. He had a son 
 Herman VII I., who follows:

 HERMAN DE HINNISDAL, the eighth of the name, Knight, 
 Lord of Kerckum, married Marie de Corswarem,* who became 
 his widow and by act of Oct. 3, 1548, transferred the fief of Kerckum 
 to Herman de Hinnisdal, her son. (Register E. D. of the fiefs of 
 the Abbey of Saint-Tron, folio 224, both sides of page.) We find 
 mention of them in several acts of later date, as having had the 
 following issue : 
 
 1. ROBERT, who succeeded. 
 
 2. HERMAN IX., head of the branch of the Lords of Schabrouck 
 referred to elsewhere. 
 
 3. MARIE DE HINNISDAL, who married Guillaume de Rickel and 
 afterwards Gerard de Cortonbach.

 ROBERT DE HINNISDAL, Gentleman, Lord of Kerckum, 
 surrendered his fief in the feudal court of the Abbey of Saint-Tron 
 on Jan. 11, 1568. (The deed is signed, sealed and delivered on 
 Feb. 24, 1785.) His wife was Barbe de Roost (alias de Rosut), 
 a lady of Danicken in the country of Fauquemont. He and his 
 wife died in 1567 of the pestilence which desolated the whole coun- 
 try of Liege at that time, and they were buried at Saint-Tron, in 
 the cloister of the Brothers of Saint Alexis. They had four sons: 
 
 1. HERMAN DE HINNISDAL, who died without issue. 
 
 2. NICOLAS, the first of the name, who continued the elder branch. 
 
 3. DANIEL DE HINNISDAL, Gentleman, Lord of Kerckum, who 
 surrendered in his own name, after the death of his brother Nicolas. 
 (Reg. of fiefs in the Abbey of Saint-Tron fol. 291.) On Feb. 11, 
 1589, he sold part of this fief to Martin Robeyns. (Ibid: Reg. 
 E. F., fol. 173; Reg. F. G. fol. 205.) On Nov. 10, 1612, Daniel 
 de Hinnisdal made acknowledgment for both fiefs of Kerckum. 
 He had married Judith de Baelge, who died on May 22, 1609 
 He surrendered his rights in favor of Louis, his son, on March 16, 
 
 *This house is an illustrious one in the Netherlands, and the historians 
 say that it originated with the Sovereign Counts of Loos, who were the 
 younger sons of the Count of Hainault. It has successively risen from 
 the rank of Counts of Loos-Corswarem and of the Holy Empire, and of Dukes 
 and Princes of Loos, through the Emperor Charles VI. in 1734, to final or 
 greater eminence through the Empress Marie Therese in 1778. In 1803 its 
 principality, known as Rheina-Walbeck, gave it a vote in the Diet of the 
 Empire. The act of the Federation of the Rhine placed it under the author- 
 ity of the Grand Duchy of Berg. At the present time, its possessions are 
 partly under the sovereignty of Prussia, and partly under that of Hanover.

 King on Oct. 13, 1037, from the Abbey of Saint-Tron, which 
 gave him the privilege of disposing of the rights of Kerckum 
 by will, or by donation while living. (Reg. of fiefs of Saint- 
 Tron E. L. fol. 178.) It was in virtue of this permission thai 
 in his will of Feb. 5, 1050, the very honorable Lord, Louis de 
 Hinnisdal de Kerckum ordered or willed that if his brother 
 Jean should die without legitimate children, the rights to 
 Kerckum and his patrimonial rights should pass to the eldest 
 son of his nephew de Hinnisdal, Lord of Fumal. The Abbess 
 de Herckenrode, who was his sister, was entitled to part of his 
 personal estate. (Record of Jan. 19, 1780, under seal of the 
 court of Saint-Tron.) He died without posterity on May 23, 
 1051, and was buried in the center of the choir of the church 
 at Stewordt in front of the great altar.

 the Chapter of Munster-Bilsen, in the years 1039 and 1043, 
 (Fol. 33 and 34 of the Reg.) as Captain and Governor of the 
 forts of Spinola and Kildrecht near Antwerp. On July 1, 
 1051, Jean van den Creest, authorized by the noble Lord and 
 Captain Jean de Hinnisdal de Kerckum, here described as 
 Governor of the forts of Spinola, Kildrecht and others de- 
 pendent thereon, made path for service for the fief of Kerckum,

 mission to dispose of some of the realty at Kerckum. There 
 was a transfer of property in accordance therewith on July 27, 
 
 1657. (The original in Flemish.) His will, dated Oct. 2, 
 
 1658, found in the office of Saint-Tron on July 23, 1764, states 
 that in conformity with the will of his brother, Louis, dated 
 Feb. 5, 1650, he bequeathed to the eldest son of Philippe 
 Herman de Hinnisdal, Gentleman, his nephew, Lord of Fumal, 
 the property at Kerckum, reversible in case of his death with- 
 out children to the nearest relative of the testator. The 
 other leading points are as follows : A privilege of the tax at 
 Kerckum which he had received from his cousin Henri 
 d'Alsteren, Lord of Hamel, Gentleman, in favor of the said 
 Henri. He bequeathed to Frances-Appoline de Hinnisdal 
 de Fumal, a house which Jean van der Bosch, Gentleman,

 U *It was by diploma dated at Vienne, Feb. 14, 1676, that the Emperor 
 Leopold I., granted to Jean Ernest, Baron de Wallenrode, Privy-Councilor, 
 Major-General, and Chamberlain to the Elector of Saxe, and later on Privy- 
 Councilor, and Grand-Master of the Elector of Brandebourg for himself and 
 his heirs, male and female in perpetuity, the title of Counts and Countesses

 grandfather, and great-grandfather; uncle, grand-uncle, and great-grand- 
 uncle, and with the hereditary title of '* Excellence" and of Grandee," 
 through the whole male and female line. Among the considerations men- 
 tioned in this concession, which was based on the high antiquity and illus- 
 trious deeds of the house of Wallenrode, the diploma recites that in S65, ac- 
 cording to Tritelme and Bucelin, in their chronicles, Gunther de Wallenrode 
 was Archbishop of Cologne; that the members of his house took part in the 
 tourney at Ithal in Saxony, which had been ordered by the Emperor Henri III.

 Obendorff , Baron of Muggenhausen and Gentleman of the Chamber 
 to his Imperial Majesty and General in his army, Member of the 
 council of war, and Colonel of a regiment of the High German, in

 son, the castle of Cannart, which he had held from the Bishop of 
 Liege, Count de Loos, also the Imperial fief of Kerckum and lord- 
 ships of Hercken and Borghershoff. The illustrious Lady Ermen- 
 garde de Guillenghien, Coimtess de Wonsheim, bestowed upon the 
 bride, who was her grand-daughter, a marriage gift, and the Coun- 
 tess of Marck, sister of Catherine-Caroline de Wallenrode, signed the 
 contract. Among other clauses, it was stipulated that the bride 
 should during her life occupy the Fumal homestead at Huy and 
 that it should be provided with 4,000 florins worth of furniture and 
 a six-horse carriage. The Baron de Hinnisdal died before May 23, 
 1716. He is mentioned in a great number of documents, and is 
 mentioned also in the will of the Countess de Furstenberg, his sister- 
 in-law, dated June 10, 1717. (Recorded at Tours, April 6, 1726.) 
 After having disposed of her property in favor of the Counts Louis- 
 Pierre and Auguste de la Marck, her sons, she gave her nephew, the 
 Count de Hinnisdal de Fumal, all that remained of her property, 
 real and personal, to be divided between him and Francois-Marie 
 and Knight de la Marck. (Engrossed on manuscript.) Philippe-

 virtues which he had displayed in the administration of his episcopate. 
 (Ibid.,t. XIV. p.221;XVII. p. 8.) Finally, alliances with the illustrious house of 
 Wallenrode were sought at all times by the most distinguished families, and 
 among others by the Counts de Papenheim, de Wittgenstein, de Leiningen 
 (Linange), de Woedt, de Walbourg, de Koenigsegg, etc. The Emperor 
 Leopold I. also makes mention in one singular document of a very high priv-

 granting him and his posterity in consideration of their warlike exploits, the

 manding the regiment of la Marck, in the German infantry, Briga- 
 dier-General in the army of the King, was born in 1674, and baptized 
 in the castle of Fumal, April IS, 1680. He was intended from his 
 early youth for the career of arms and became a Lieutenant in June, 
 1695, in the regiment of the Count de la Marck, his cousin-germain, 
 of the German infantry in the service of the King of France; he 
 passed through the different grades from Lieutenant to second in 
 command in November, 1696; First Lieutenant in August, 1699; 
 Captain in April, 1701; Captain of full grade in June, 1703, with

 Aug. 1, 1711, with the rank of Colonel, Aug. 5, 1712; Lieutenant- 
 Colonel, full rank, Dec. 29, 1714. He served in Flanders in 1696 
 and 1697, and on June 10, 1702, took part in the battle of Nimegue 
 under the Duke of Burgundy; afterwards at Echeren, under the 
 Marshal de Villars May 10, 1703. The Baron de Fumal fought at 
 Ramillies, May 23, 1706, under the Elector of Bavaria and Marshal 
 de Villiroy; at the battle of Audenarde July 11, 1708, under the 
 Duke de Yendome; afterwards at Malplaquet, under the Marshal tie 
 Villars, Sept. 11, 1709. On July 12, 1711, he took part in the bril- 
 liant affair at Arleux, where the Count de Grassion defeated a 
 large body of the allies; and in the following year, he took part in 
 the siege and capture of Douay, of Quesnoy and Bouchain, under 
 Marshal de Villars. He then joined the army of Germany, after 
 the treaty of L T trecht, and was still there under the Marshal de Besons 
 at the siege of Landau, Aug. 20, 1713, and spent twenty-five days 
 in the trenches. He afterwards was at Fridbourg, which surrendered

 without discretion to the Marshal de Villars on Nov. 1, following. 
 The peace declared with the Emperor was signed at Rastadt, March 
 6, 1714. The Baron de Fumal still kept command of the regiment 
 of la Marck. He was made Brigadier of Infantry by brevet April 
 23, 1721, and received a letter of the King Aug. 8, 1727, ordering 
 him to serve in the army of the Meuse under the Count de Belle- 
 Isle, and Jan. 1, 1728, received a pension of 800 livres on account 
 of the order of Saint-Louis, of which he had received the Cross. 
 (Original document.) The Baron de Fumal died Oct. 16, of the 
 same year. * (Chronologie historique militaire, par Pinard, t. 
 VIII. p. 319; Etat de la France, annee 1722, t. III. p. 473.) Jean- 
 Herman was recognized as the Lord of Kerckum in the feudal 
 court at the Abbey of Saint-Tron, May 23, 1716. Through dis- 
 pensation from Rome on account of consanguinity in the fourth 
 degree, he married on Oct. 22, 1714, according to a contract made 
 before Rogez & Neauport, Royal Notaries at Arras, the noble and 
 illustrious Lady Marie-Claire-Eugenie de Carnin-Lillers,! who 
 was countess of the very illustrious Chapter at Maubeuge, eldest 
 daughter of the late high and powerful Lord Maximilien-Francois 
 de Carnin, Knight, Marquis of Lillers and Nedonchel, Count de 
 Quernes, Deputy of the nobility of the estates of Artois, and of the 
 high and powerful Lady Marie-Alexandrine-Charlotte de Bethune. 
 There were present as witnesses to the contract on the part of the 
 Viscount de Fumal, Marie-Catherine-Charlotte, born Countess of 
 Wallenrode, Dowager Countess of Furstenburg; Pierre-Louis, Count 
 de la Marck and de Schleiden, Marshal of the camp, Colonel of the 
 German regiment of infantry, called after himself, his cousin ger- 
 main, the son of her excellency, Madam, the Countess de Fursten- 
 
 *By his will made three days before at the castle Lillers, he had ordered 
 that he should be buried in the chapel at Ferfay, near the late Baronness de 
 Fumal, his wife. He was fifty-four years of age at the time of his decease. 
 
 fThis ancient family derived its name from a castle situated in French 
 Flanders, about three miles from Lille. It has been known since the 
 time of Jacques de Carnin, Knight, who lived in 1203. Besides the branch 
 of Lillers, in whose favor Medonchel was erected into a Marquisate, in 1694, 
 there was the branch known as Counts de Stades. This family has been long 
 attached to the house of Burgundy. One of the brothers of the Baroness de 
 Fumal was Lieutenant-General in the army of the King of Spain, and com- 
 manded a battalion of the Wallonnes guards. Jean de Carpentier in his his- 
 tory of Cambreses (III partie, p. 172) has confounded this house of de Carnin 
 with that of de Carvin, an equally ancient house, and neighbors of the former. 
 The principal alliances of the Carnin family were with Avion, Bauffremez, 
 Berghes, Chateau villain, Marckais, la Tour-Saint-Quentin, Weudim, etc.

 ♦The Countess de Hinnisdal was the last of an ancient and illustrious 
 race. Her ancestors were ranked among the leading nobility of d' Artois, 
 as far back as the year 1096. Hugues Bournel, Knight, Lord d' Equerchin, 
 lived in about the year 1136. Hugues II., his son, born of his marriage 
 with Alix de Crevecoeur, was living in 1172, and had a son Hugues 
 III., who was Governor of Cambray in 1215. (Hist, de Cambresis, III. 
 partie, p. 297.") The Lords of these two great families, Thiembronne 
 and Monchy, had extended their lands into the territory of Bournel. This 
 latter house has always held high position at the court and in the army. 
 Pierre Bournel was Provost-Marshal for the county of Clermont 1314; Hue 
 Bournel, Chamberlain of King Charles VI., in 1417; Jean II., Governor of 
 Saint -Menehould, under Louis XL; Antoine, Knight of Rhodes, one of the 
 defenders of the island, under the Grand-Master d'Aubusson and Commander 
 d'Auxonne in 1482; Guillaume Bournel, Grand-Master of artillery in France in 
 1473 ; Hugues, Lord of Lamher-court, Knight of the Golden Fleece, Governor of 
 Lille, of Douay, Orchies and Bapnumc in 157S; one of the leading captains of 
 his time, grandson of Guichard Bournel of Nanips; Sovereign-Bailiff of the 
 county of Guinea, who had made his name a terror to the English, together 
 with his brother Louis Bournel de Thiembronne. The alliances made by this 
 family kept up the illustrious character of the house. As for instance with 
 the house of de Craon, de Crequy, de Croy, de Dixmude.d'Estrees, de Longue- 
 val, de Melun, de Davense, de Roucy, de Seissons-Moreuil, de Villiers-

 France, and after the suppression of the Ambassadorial council, 
 which took place in 1773, he remained alone as Charge d' Affaires even 
 in matters relating to the navy and the ministerial correspond-

 fThis family, which had its origin from de la Marche, haa borne the 
 surnames of " de Belleforiere," and "de Soyecourt," through inheritance and 
 by substitution from two ancient houses. That of de Soyecourt (de Sectori 
 Corte) was in existence in the country of Santerre, in which their original lands 
 were situated, towards the middle of the twelfth century. Gilles I., Lord of 
 Soyecourt, son of Jean, who lived in 1162, gave in 1191 to the Abbey of Hon- 
 necourt, the lands which it possessed at Villiers. (Hist, of Cambresis, III. 
 partie, p. 1029.) In 1298. Huet, Lord of Soyecourt, was one of the Lords who 
 accompanied the constable de Nesle (Raoul de Clermont) at the time that he 
 brought the Count de Juliers to the court of Philippe-le-Bel. Gilles II., 
 Lord of Soyecourt, his son, was Grand-Chancellor of France in 1328, and was 
 killed at the battle of Crecy on Aug. 26, 1346. (Hist, des Grands Officiers de 
 la Couronne t. VIIL, p. 524.) The heiress of his noble family, Francoise de 
 Soyecourt, married in 1586, Ponthus de Belleforiere, Governor of Corbie, at 
 which place he was killed in a surprise made by Lord d'Humieres. Their 
 grandson, Charles-Maximilien-Antoine de Belleforiere, who was head of a 
 house that had been distinguished ever since 1250, was Marquis of Soyecourt 
 and of Guerbigny, in the county of Tilloloy, etc., Knight of the Order of the 
 King in 1661, and Grand-Hunstman to the king of France in 1669. He married 
 Marie-Henee de Longieil, daughter of the Marquis de Maisons, Superin- 
 tendent of the Treasury. Marie-Renee de Belleforiere born of this marriage, 
 having survived the Marquis and the Knight de Soyecourt, her brothers, 
 who were killed at Fleurus in 1690, assumed the title of Marquise de Belle- 
 foriere. She had five years previously married Thimoleon-Gilbert de Seiglieres, 
 Lord of Boisfrance, Master of requests in ordinary at the King's palace, and 
 Chancellor to the Duke d'Orleans, to whom she bequeathed all the property 
 of the house of Soyecourt. Joachim- Adolphe de Seiglieres, de Belleforiere, 
 Marquis of Soyecourt, Count of Tilloloy, issue of this marriage, was a 
 Colonel in the regiment of Burgundy and Brigadier in the armies of the King, 
 and left as heirs from his marriage with Pauline-Corvsandre de Pas de 
 Feuquieres, three sons, namely, the Marquis de Soyecourt; the Marquis 
 de Feuquieres; and the Count of Soyecourt, who was father of this 
 Countess de Hinnisdal. (Hist, des Grand Officiers de la Couronne, t. VTII. p.

 *The house of de Villeneuve has played a grand role in the history of 
 Provence, to such an extent that we need merely mention its name in order 
 to revive all the recollections of that country. Its wealth of possessions, the 
 grandeur of its alliances, the brilliancy of its political as well as private dis- 
 tinctions, has secured for this family a unique distinction, and the house has 
 kept its dignity during six centuries on the highest footing in a country that 
 that has been so rich in illustrious families. There were numerous branches 
 about whom the reader need only consult any of the histories of the noble 
 families of Provence. The branch de Vence was called to the peerage in 
 1815. The branch de Tourrettes presents this remarkable peculiarity, that 
 owing to the continuity of its brilliant alliances, it has always found itself 
 related to the crowned heads and princely houses of Europe. (Voyez l'abbe 
 Robert, Atrefeuille, etc.)

HINSDALE TRAITS OF CHARACTER. 
 
 By Mrs. Mary E. Triax 
 
 Some ten years ago, learning that Judge Sanford C. Hinsdale, 
 of Denver, Colo., was investigating the Hinsdale family with a 
 view to the publication of a " History of the Hinsdale Family in 
 America,'* the writer of this article began to look up her mother's 
 branch, primarily to learn more of her immediate ancestors; also, 
 to render some assistance to Judge Hinsdale, and incidentally to 
 obtain proof of eligibility to become a Daughter of the American 
 Revolution, She failed in the latter object, as record showed her 
 grandfather was too young to be a Revolutionary soldier; three 
 of his older brothers were, and the lady who in after years became 
 her grandmother, near the close of the war was but a little girl 
 of seven years. Her Hinsdale search has brought results of far 
 more value to her than membership in the D. A. R., though that 
 was greatly desired. It has by no means been confined to looking 
 up descendants of her own branch. When entering upon genealog- 
 ical research one has no conception of the amount of interest and 
 enthusiasm that will be aroused and grow, and what lifelong friend- 
 ships will be formed. From books printed and written, historical 
 records of various kinds, correspondence with numerous descend- 
 ants, photographs of those still living, and photographs of por- 
 traits of those long since gone from the stage of action, the pedi- 
 gree hunter finds resemblance not only in traits of character but 
 in features. 
 
 The Hinsdales are a family of strongly marked characteristics. 
 Among these are independence, originality, perseverance, patriot- 
 ism. Some branches have wit and humor well developed; others 
 were and are noted for wonderful memories. They are a family 
 of strong attachments for each other, clannish, have vigorous, 
 manly natures, are self-reliant in thought and action, great read- 
 ers and energetic workers. 
 
 The first (Robert) who came to America, about 1630, early iden- 
 tified himself with educational, church and town enterprises in 
 Dedham, Medfield and Deerfield, Mass. The New England His- 
 torical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 10, Page 49, gives " Med-

 field's Contributions to Harvard College in 1678." It says: "This 
 is a true Coppye of the subscription of the inhabitance of Medfield 
 towards the building of the new Collidge at Cambridg." Then 
 follow seventy-four names; the fortieth is that of Gamaliell Hinsdell. 
 Some of these subscriptions were paid in money, but most of them 
 in "wheat and Endian Corne" yet to be raised. In the meantime 
 as " God hath seen it meet to turne the wheels of his good Providence 
 toward us in letting loose ye Barbarous natives upon us that much 
 of our Towne hath been consumed, many lives and estates lost," 
 Gamaliell Hinsdale and others "praye" for longer time in which 
 to meet their obligations to Harvard College. 
 
 One of the early Hinsdales was a signer to a petition for the first 
 free school in Massachusetts. 
 
 The opinion of the Hinsdale Family, as given by two disinter- 
 ested authors is quoted. Dr. John Lord, LL. D., in his life of 
 Emma Willard, published in 1873, page 18, says: "The mother 
 of Mrs. Willard, who belonged to the Hinsdale Family, a second 
 wife, and ten years younger than her husband, was practical, eco- 
 nomical, industrious, sagacious, charitable, an admirable manager, 
 a helpmeet, a type of those old-fashioned New England wives who 
 believe in duties rather than rights, and who kept alive the fire on 
 her domestic hearth by her loyalty and love. Amid her other 
 labors, like the heroines of Homer, she sorted and carded wool, 
 and the distaff was one source of family prosperity. She was the 
 mother of ten children and the stepmother of seven, all of whom 
 lived together in harmony, dispensing a simple hospitality and 
 shedding the radiance of contentment and joy upon the whole 
 neighborhood." 
 
 David W. Bartlett in his "American Agitators & Reformers," 
 published in 1855, in giving briefly a sketch of Elihu Burritt, says: 
 "The mother, Elizabeth Hinsdale, was remarkable for her many 
 virtues. She was a woman of fine intellect, lofty courage, ardent 
 piety, and brought up her children most admirably." 
 
 Of his grandfather, the author says, "His maternal grandfather 
 Hinsdale was a remarkable man, intrusted with town affairs, a 
 great reader, and with only ordinary advantages possessed him- 
 self of an extraordinary fund of knowledge. Burritt's brother in- 
 herits an insatiable thirst after knowledge and facility in acquir- 
 ing it, besides being extremely erudite. A sister and maternal 
 nephew are also endowed with a similar power of memory and pas- 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 49 
 
 sion for reading, as well as capability of storing their minds with 
 knowledge. One of this learned family, I think it was Klihu'h 
 brother, literally killed himself by study, in which he progressed 
 with astonishing rapidity. Thifl wonderful love of learning and 
 capability of retaining it will be found to have been handed down 
 to the Hinsdales, and throughout the various branches as far as 
 can be traced." 
 
 The pioneer spirit, to some extent probably the outgrowth of 
 Puritan restlessness, is a Hinsdale characteristic. Robert's de- 
 scendants emigrated from Massachusetts to New Hampshire, Con- 
 necticut, Vermont and New York; later to Michigan, Indiana, and 
 Illinois, and later still to Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho, California, and 
 the South. One of the first to subscribe for two copies of this 
 History for years has been a resident of Lewiston, Idaho, going 
 to that new country from Southern Indiana. 
 
 During the past ten years the writer has corresponded with de- 
 scendants residing in almost every State in the Union, and per- 
 sonally is well acquainted with many of her grandfather's family. 
 Early in the nineteenth century, two sisters and two brothers, chil- 
 dren of her grandparents, came from Vermont to Michigan and 
 Indiana, when the country was as much a wilderness as when the 
 first Robert and his sons were establishing themselves in Massa- 
 chusetts. The oldest son, Mitchell, came with four daughters and 
 five sons, a sixth son being born in Michigan, and the younger, 
 Myron, with four little daughters. One sister came to Indiana as 
 a bride, and, a year later, the other as a teacher. The journey of 
 the sons' families was made by boat through the Erie Canal from 
 Buffalo to Detroit, and thence by teams, one of which was brought 
 from Vermont. Most of the towns on the way were mere stop- 
 ping places. At what is now the State's University town, Ann 
 Arbor, as the "tavern keeper" lifted four little girls, one after the 
 other, from the emigrant's wagon, he turned to the father and, 
 using very emphatic language, asked, "What did you bring these 
 four little girls to this country for?" 
 
 The two brothers located on adjoining farms near Richland. 
 Mitchell removed to Kalamazoo about 1838; Myron to Grand 
 Rapids in 1835 or 1836. 
 
 They were surrounded by Indians; wolves made music by night, 
 and fever and ague shook them by day. Quinine was as much 
 in daily use as were salt and pepper. Two sons were added to 
 
50 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 Myron's family, the second being the second white child born in 
 Grand Rapids. 
 
 One of those four little girls had her first wrestle with Web- 
 ster's spelling book in a school -house in Grand Rapids, built for 
 a barn, the boards set up endwise, with boards for a floor laid down 
 without matching, benches without backs, and so high from the 
 floor that the little feet would dangle. The subject of ventilation 
 did not vex school committees in that day. 
 
 For three score years and more she has resided in that city, 
 an intelligent and influential woman in church (Congregational) 
 and benevolent work. She is a charter member of the first Wom- 
 an's Club, some thirty years old, which club aided greatly in mak- 
 ing of her a fine historian ; and a charter member of what is now 
 the "Union Benevolent Association Hospital and Training School 
 for Nurses," with its valuable buildings and grounds. This insti- 
 tution is the outgrowth of a woman's society of years ago, organ- 
 ized to work for the needy poor of the city. 
 
 Because of her good judgment and practical common-sense, 
 when the new buildings were erected she was appointed one of the 
 building committee. Through the entire Civil War she was in- 
 defatigable in her work for the soldiers. The writer is indebted 
 to her for many facts herein narrated. Few pieces of furniture 
 were brought from Vermont, but among her priceless treasures 
 are an old-fashioned combination bureau and sideboard and a 
 small rocking chair, that would be coveted by any hunter of Colo- 
 nial relics. She has a portrait of her maternal grandmother. 
 
 When her father came from Vermont he brought with him an 
 excellent set of surveyors' instruments, whose use he well under- 
 stood, and his services as surveyor were in frequent demand among 
 the early settlers, to rim the quarter lines between the sections 
 and mark the boundaries of the new farms. 
 
 After coming to Grand Rapids, Myron Hinsdale identified him- 
 self with many interests for the good of the community. His 
 home, being a large house, which subsequently became a hotel, 
 not only sheltered his own family, but its large dining-room served 
 for Sabbath services, Sunday and day schools, singing schools, 
 debating societies, masquerade parties, indeed, moral and religious 
 entertainments of all kinds. The public meetings of the Grand 
 Rapids Lyceum were held in this dining-room for years, and here 
 was brought out the latent intellectual force and forensic ability 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 51 
 
 that became conspicuous on the platform, the stump, and the bar, 
 
 years after, by that little coterie of young men. This Lyceum had 
 a valuable library for that time, some of whoso books arc -till in 
 service in the city's present library, where now can be found many 
 histories which tell i^ the Michigan Hinsdales and their influence 
 for good. The First Congregational Church was organized in 
 this dining room, first as a Presbyterian Church, but the Congre- 
 gational element prevailing, it was soon changed to the Congre- 
 gational form of government. At the celebration of the Lord's 
 Supper, common plates served for the bread, and pitcher and 
 tumblers for the wine. 
 
 The summer of 1S36 was an eventful one. The arrival of 
 strangers, the rapid changes, the hurry to get comfortably housed 
 before winter, the feverish excitement of speculation can be better 
 understood by quoting from a letter from Mr. Hinsdale to a brother- 
 in-law, dated April 23rd, 1836: " I have applied for five lots of 
 pine land up Grand River, but there is such a press of business in 
 the Land Office one cannot know under six or eight days whether 
 or not he can get it, and if two men ask for the same land the same 
 day, they must agree which shall have it, or it is set up at auction. 
 There have been four hundred or five hundred people at Bronson 
 for a week past, all waiting to get land. If I get the pine land it 
 will cost about $2.25 per acre, and a great bargain at that. If land 
 buyers increase when navigation opens, there will not be a good 
 lot in the territory at Congress prices, and then I see no reason why 
 land will not be worth $10.00 per acre." 
 
 To show that the higher interests of education, morals and reli- 
 gion were not neglected, quotation is made from another letter, 
 dated Feb. 25th, 1837: "We have two schools in our house, the 
 teacher of one being my sister, Mary Ann, who came from Vermont 
 last fall. We have had from eight to ten boarders all winter, on 
 the temperance plan in full, and have most of the good custom. 
 Strangers from almost all parts of the union visit our place, and are 
 much pleased. 
 
 " Property has advanced one-third or more since you was here, so 
 much I think people are crazy. Society has improved very much. 
 A Presbyterian church was formed last October with 22 members 
 and 10 added since, and we have as talented a society of young men 
 as can be found in your state. Provision is very high. Cash plenty, 
 most of it paid out for land. I have had more silver and gold in my 
 house this winter than a pair of horses could draw." 
 
52 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 The experience of the families of the two brothers was very 
 similar. Indeed, the hardships and privations of all pioneers in 
 settling a new country, are very much the same; the clearing of 
 the forest, the struggle for a living, the enforced contentment with 
 the bare necessities of life, all make men and women hardy and 
 healthy, and really prepare them to enjoy life. 
 
 But a few years elapsed before the majority of the twelve chil- 
 dren of Aaron and Lucinda Mitchell Hinsdale were located in the 
 west. Many instances could be given to show the absolute fear- 
 lessness of the little girl, Lucinda Mitchell, who in later years became 
 the mother of these four Hinsdale emigrants from Vermont, but 
 one only will be given. A great-grandchild, Mrs. Wm. Hawley 
 Smith of Peoria, 111., tells a good Revolutionary story of her great- 
 grandmother. " After Gov. Jonas Galusha of Bennington, Vt., 
 was stricken with paralysis and bed-ridden, his son, Jonas Jr., with 
 his family, came to live with and care for the afflicted Governor. 
 The youngest of Jonas Jr.'s family was my father, O. B. Galusha, 
 and he often described the following scene which took place in his 
 grandfather's room, when he was a young boy. Among those pres- 
 ent was a visiting neighbor, my mother's grandmother, Lucinda 
 Mitchell Hinsdale. The conversation turned to reminiscences of 
 the Revolutionary War, and great-grandmother Hinsdale said — 
 " My father had Quaker proclivities and was conscientiously op- 
 posed to fighting, and went to Canada to avoid being conscripted in- 
 to the army. Under these circumstances he naturally gained the 
 reputation, which he did not deserve, of being a Tory." " I well 
 remember when I was a little girl of seven," she continued, " that 
 I was at home alone for a short time while mother went to a neigh- 
 bor's, and that a squad of Federal cavalry came to raid our prem- 
 ises, because, as I found when I was older, my father was said to 
 be a Tory. They started to drive away our little herd of cattle, and 
 among them was one that had been given to me when a calf, and 
 was my special pet and pride. When I saw her driven away with 
 the rest, I ran to the big mortar where the rock salt was pounded to 
 feed to the cattle, and begun to pound with all my might. The 
 cattle became completely unmanageable and came back, expecting 
 to be fed some salt. The soldiers came after them and scolded and 
 stormed, and ordered me to stop, which I refused to do unless they 
 would let me have my heifer. This they refused to do; so as soon 
 as they were fairly started again, I began to pound, and the cattle 
 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 53 
 
 came back as before; but still the angry soldiers refused to let me 
 keep my heifer. The third time I united till the cattle were in the 
 middle of a small river that ran close to our house, and then I l>e<ran 
 to pound with might and main. The cattle wheeled in the water 
 and swam back. By this time the captain was furious, and, pointing 
 his gun at me, said, " If you don't stop that pounding, I'll shoot 
 you," and I said, " Shoot away, I won't stop till you let me have 
 my heifer." 
 
 At this point of her story, my father said the old Governor 
 raised himself in bed, something that he had not done in years and 
 said, " Were you that little — devil I was going to say? I was that 
 Captain; I've often wondered what you thought when I said I'd 
 shoot you. What did you?" " Why, I just said to myself, He'll 
 never shoot a little girl like me, and you know you wouldn't. You 
 just let me pick out my heifer and then I let the rest go." " You 
 got all the herd back the next day, didn't you?" Governor Galusha 
 asked. " Yes, all but two that had been eaten," she replied. " My 
 mother went over to the camp the next day and explained that 
 father was not a Tory, and the officers returned all the cattle that 
 were left." 
 
 The writer with commendable pride does not hesitate to affirm 
 that the Hinsdale female descendants are not one whit inferior to 
 the men who bear the name, for all grace, refinement of character, 
 intelligence and accomplishments of head and heart, though they 
 bear other than the Hinsdale name. The educators of both sexes 
 can be counted by the hundred, and rank from the kindergarten 
 teacher to the professor in colleges and state universities. Such 
 early educators as Emma Willard, Almira Phelps, and Nancy Hins- 
 dale were pioneers in the higher education of women in New r York 
 and Massachusetts. Nancy Hinsdale established the first young 
 ladies' school in Massachusetts, at Pittsfield, and was a teacher for 
 years in connection with her cousin, Emma Willard, at Troy, N. Y. 
 Another pen than mine will endorse the above statement. Hon. 
 Chauncey M. Depew, in an address delivered at the dedication of 
 Russell Sage Hall of the Emma Willard Female Seminary at Troy, 
 N. Y., 1895, said of Mrs. Willard: " She was an apostle, an evangel 
 of the higher education of women. She had the courage to undertake 
 the task, and the genius to secure success. When there was naught 
 but ridicule and denunciation for an enterprise which it was pre- 
 dicted would break up the family and destroy the fireside, she set 
 
54 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 out to educate the girls who should dignify, adorn and elevate the 
 home. She struggled for a quarter of a century before her efforts 
 received recognition, and the country was aroused to the impor- 
 tance of her mission, and the sentiment she propagated had material- 
 ized into the great seminaries for women, which are now the ornament 
 and hope of the period. Her influence did not stop here, it crossed 
 the ocean; it broke down the prejudices and the conditions of the 
 most conservative of nations; it created Girton and Newnham 
 Colleges under the shadows of Oxford and Cambridge, and it earned 
 for them and their students equal advantages in the curriculum of 
 these historic seats of learning." 
 
 Mrs. Lucinda Hinsdale Stone of Kalamazoo, Mich., a teacher 
 from the age of eighteen until near the close of her life, aged eighty- 
 six, was always an advocate for co-education, and for the higher 
 education of woman, as well as for her elevation and advancement 
 in every respect. It was largely through her influence, exerted for 
 years before successful, that women were admitted into Michigan 
 State University. For a more extended account of her life-work 
 see a 400-page volume published in 1902, entitled " Lucinda Hins- 
 dale Stone Reminiscences." An excellent picture of Nancy Hins- 
 dale occupies a place in the Pittsfield Athenaeum. One of Mrs. L. H. 
 Stone can be seen in one of the halls at the Michigan Univer- 
 sity. 
 
 There is another Hinsdale woman whose early life gave little 
 promise of literary attainment or poetical development, but Phebe 
 Hinsdale Brown will live as long as " I love to steal awhile away " 
 is sung in our churches. The original nine stanzas differ materially 
 from those found in our church hymnals. Rev. Edwin F.Hatfield, 
 D. D., in a book on hymnology, "Poets of the Church," published 
 in 1861, gives a very interesting sketch of her life, and says that she 
 left a MS. autobiography that would make a book of probably 400 
 pages, and also a MS. collection of her poems that would make a 
 similar volume. Her son, Samuel Robbins Brown, was one of the 
 first missionaries to Japan. 
 
 Every business and profession has been and is represented by 
 these Hinsdales, from that of the " Learned Blacksmith " and 
 agriculturalist to the gowned minister and lawyer in the pulpit and 
 on the bench. The family are most happy to own as a descendant, 
 an ex- Vice President of the United States. 
 
 In politics they have affiliated usually with the Whig and Re- 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 55 
 
 publican parties, and conspicuous among thcni have been many 
 abolitionists, both men and women. 
 
 In religious belief the family largely represent the ( longregfttional, 
 Presbyterian, Baptist and episcopalian denominations. 
 
 Honesty and generosity are Hinsdale traits. Not many have 
 amassed great wealth, and yet mosl are land-owners and are home- 
 loving enough to abide for years, and often for generations, under 
 their own " vine and fig tree." 
 
 Pages should be given to Soldier Hinsdales. This pen cannot 
 do the subject justice. Had not the brain and hand of Samuel 
 Burritt Hinsdale of Woodbridge, N. J., been stilled in death in 
 December, 1903, his would have been the one to give the long list 
 of Hinsdales whose patriotism found them in every war in which 
 our country has been engaged. The first Robert was a member 
 of the Ancient & Honorable Artillery Company of Boston, and with 
 three sons was killed at the battle of Bloody Brook. The various 
 patriotic societies are well represented, or can be, by male and fe- 
 male descendants of Revolutionary soldiers. 
 
 The Civil War brought forth the younger generations. Samuel 
 Burritt Hinsdale was but fourteen years old at the beginning of the 
 war, and his patriotism prompted him to enlist as drummer boy, 
 but because of his youth he was refused. At the age of seventeen, 
 not being robust and strong, he failed to pass the proper examina- 
 tions, and was again refused. His persistence and the influence of 
 friends finally succeeded, and May 16, 1864, he became a member of 
 Company H, 151st Regt. 111. Vols., with rank of Corporal, and he 
 served one and one-half years. Though never wounded, that year 
 and a half of exposure and hardship enfeebled his constitution for 
 all the years that followed, and in 1903 he died, as much a martyr 
 to his country as though slain in battle. He was a loyal member 
 of the G. A. R., joining the organization in 1886, and holding im- 
 portant positions till death. Among his friends he was regarded 
 as an ardent patriot. 
 
 One son of Mitchell Hinsdale lies in an unknown grave, having 
 fallen at the battle of Kenesaw Mountain. 
 
 One of the Myron Hinsdales served from 1S61-65, being honorably 
 discharged with the rank of Lieut.-Colonel. 
 
 Three brothers belonging to an Indiana Regiment were in battle 
 after battle, and went with Sherman on his memorable march to 
 the sea. A volume could easily be written giving thrilling experi- 
 
56 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 ences and hair-breadth escapes of these three brothers, who still 
 live, residents respectively of Kansas, Nebraska, and Idaho. A 
 story of one illustrates the clannish spirit. Neither brother had 
 ever been to Vermont, but from parents had heard much of the 
 New England Hinsdales. At Fayetteville, N. C, as the Union army 
 was weakening the strength of the Confederates by destroying prop- 
 erty by fire on the right and left, Col F. saw the sign " Hinsdale 
 Bros." over a store door. The order was given not to fire that 
 building. He entered: the conversation with the brothers con- 
 vinced him that he and they were New England Hinsdale descend- 
 ants, and that building was spared. Thirty years later there was 
 a reunion in New York City of the Colonel and one of that North 
 Carolina firm, and right royally was the Colonel entertained. 
 
 In this connection the wife of a Hinsdale deserves mention. 
 Some years ago a newspaper item that came under the writer's no- 
 tice said that a Jane Hinsdale served as soldier's nurse through the 
 Civil War, and received a pension. The clipping was sent to Judge 
 Hinsdale, who wrote to the pension agent at Washington, D. C, 
 for her record. Here it is: "Jane Hinsdale, Nurse, Medical De- 
 partment U. S. Vols, is now a pensioner at the rate of twelve dollars 
 per month, payable at the United States Pension Agency, Detroit, 
 Michigan. The pension was granted for service rendered as nurse 
 in Second Mich. Vol. Infantry, of which her husband, Hiram H. 
 Hinsdale, was a member, serving in Company D. Her services 
 extended through the entire Civil War." Her name was Jane Sut- 
 ton. Hiram H. Hinsdale was the son of Stephen and Maria Baker 
 Hinsdale, who lived in Niagara County, N. Y. Mrs. Hinsdale lived 
 to an advanced age and died in Detroit, Mich.*

 were captured and the robbers of the Connecticut mail run down. 
 
 For a whole night she tended the wounded after the battle of Blue Ridge; 
 she was with the Fourteenth New York when they charged the Black 
 Horse at the same battle and drove them off. The government gave her $12

 1. DEACON ROBERT HINSDALE \ the emigrant and founder 
 of the family in America, came to Dedham, Mass., probably 
 from Dedham, County Essex, England, and was a pro- 
 prietor of that town in 1637. He was made a member 
 of the Board of Selectmen, July 18, 1637. His home was 
 "on the Easternmost playne." On July 28, 1638, the 
 town granted to him "six acres of meadowland besides 
 the hill." He was one of the eight founders of Dedham 
 first church, November 8, 1638. On March 13, 1639, he 
 was admitted freeman of Massachusetts Colony. On 
 May 17, 1639, he, with six others, was given "full 
 power to contrive, execute and perform all the business 
 and affairs of this, our whole town." On June 21, 1639, 
 he, with four others, was given full power to apportion to 
 each settler his share of meadowland, and the "townsmen 
 say they will stand fully satisfied without complaining or 
 disquiet howsoever the said men shall order their said 
 parcels of meadow." On December 31, 1639, he and 
 seven others were chosen "for the ordering of the town 
 affairs" for one year and were given full power. On July 
 6, 1640, he was granted "one parcel of upland lying upon 
 the backside of his furthermost parcel of meadow and be- 
 twixt the said meadow and one parcel of coarse meadow 
 lying on the other side thereof." On September 28, 1640, 
 he was deputed to measure land for Francis Chickering. 
 On October 22, 1640, he and two others were deputed "to 
 set out to John Allin, our Pastor 120 acres of upland for a 
 farm." On December 29, 1640, he was chosen, with two 
 others, surveyor of highways for the following year. On 
 January 1, 1645, he, with others, signed the petition for a 
 free school at Dedham to be supported by tax. They 
 agreed to raise the sum of twenty pounds per annum in 
 support of the school. This is supposed to have been 
 the first school in this country supported in this manner.

60 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 On January 1, 1645, he was chosen one of the seven Select- 
 men for the following year. On February 4, 1645, he was 
 granted five acres and three roods of woodland. The 
 records show that he was a faithful attendant on town 
 meetings, and he appears to have been a valuable and 
 public-spirited member of the community. 
 
 In 1645, he was chosen a member of the Ancient and 
 Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts, the oldest 
 military organization in this country, founded March 13, 
 1638, and which still proudly maintains its existence. 
 Upon the rolls of its members are to be seen the names 
 of men who in their day, through the entire history of 
 Massachusetts, were foremost in peace and war, and 
 who occupied the highest place in science, art and liter- 
 ature, and in social, political and military life. At no 
 time could any but a distinguished citizen have become 
 a member of this society. On November 14, 1649 he was 
 appointed one of a committee of Dedham citizens to 
 organize a new town which afterwards came to be 
 Medfield, Mass. In 1651 the General Court of Massachu- 
 setts Colony incorporated the town, the 41st in the colony, 
 and named it Medfield. Robert Hinsdale was chosen one 
 of its first Board of Selectmen and served six years. He 
 was among the first thirteen who took up houselots at Med- 
 field, and his homestead there was on what is now North 
 Street. The original well is still in use. He built his 
 house in Medfield in 1652. In 1659 he "purchased a bell 
 and brought it up for the use of the town." Soon after, the 
 town granted him forty-six acres of land near what is now 
 Collin's Mill. He built a mill there which was burned by 
 the Indians in 1676. He was active in organizing the 
 first Medfield church. 
 
 He had mortgaged his land in Medfield in 1656. On 
 August 20, 1663, he and his wife Ann conveyed lands in 
 Medfield to Jeremiah Tauke, citizen and clothworker of 
 London, as security for the payment of certain sums. 
 About 1667 he removed with his family to the Connecticut 
 Valley, settling first at Hadley, Mass., where in 1672 he 
 was released from military duty "on account of age and a 
 sore leg." He was an original proprietor in the eight 
 thousand acre grant made by the Dedham people at Deer- 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 61 
 
 field, Mass., then known as Pocumtuck, where he drew 
 by lot in 1671, lot |31, the present site of the Willard 
 House. He and his four sons were inhabitants of Deer- 
 field, November 13, 1673. He was there deacon of the first 
 church and one of the principal and most active citizens. 
 He and his son Samuel, Sampson 1'iary, .John Farrington, 
 and Samuel Daniel were the only men of the original thirty- 
 two Dedham proprietors of Pocumtuck who became actual 
 settlers of Deerfield. The others sold out their rights. 
 
 Deacon Robert Hinsdale and his three sons, Samuel, 
 Barnabas and John, were slain in the ever memorable fight 
 with the Indians at Muddy (afterwards called Bloody) 
 Brook, near Deerfield, where from ambush some seven 
 hundred Indians under King Philip attacked and killed 
 nearly every one of the little band of whites, led by Cap- 
 tain 'Thomas Lathrop, about one hundred in number, 
 September 18, 1675. By this slaughter eight women of 
 Deerfield were made widows, one, the wife of the Cap- 
 tain, and four, the wives of Robert and his three sons. 
 All the slain were "buried in one dreadful grave." A 
 corner-stone of a marble monument, twenty-six feet in 
 height, was laid in memory of the slain, September 30, 
 1835, on which occasion the Hon. Edward Everett delivered 
 an impressive discourse, found among his published ora- 
 tions. The monument was completed in August, 1838. 
 The following is the inscription upon the tablet of the 
 Monument : 
 
 "On this ground, Capt. Thomas Lathrop and eighty men 
 under his command, including eighteen teamsters from 
 Deerfield, conveying stores from that town to Hadley, were 
 ambushed by about seven hundred Indians and the Cap- 
 tain and seventy-six men slain, September 18th, 1675. 
 (Old style.)" 
 
 The inventory of Robert Hinsdale's estate was taken 
 October 22, 1676. His son Ephraim was surety for the 
 widow Elizabeth. Deacon Robert Hinsdale married as 
 his first wife, probably in England, Ann Woodward, daugh- 
 ter of Peter Woodward of Dedham, by whom he had six 
 sons and two daughters, probably all born in Dedham. 
 She was a sensitive and timid woman, and fainted away 
 on making profession of her faith before the church at Ded-

 ham June 2, 1639. The Puritan method of admission to 
 church membership was by public profession of faith and 
 confession of sin before the congregation, an ordeal trying 
 to the timid and now fortunately obsolete. The church 
 records relate: "The wife of our brother Hinsdale 
 being fearful and not able to speak in publike, but faint- 
 ing away ther, coming to church in private gave good 
 satisfaction; which being publickly testified and declared, 
 and she confirming the same relation to be so, was received." 
 She died June 4, 1666, and he married, second, about 1668, 
 Elizabeth, widow of John Hawks of Hadley, by whom he 
 had no issue. She was a woman of different mold from 
 Ann. The union did not prove a happy one and they soon 
 parted. At the court held March 30, 1674, they were "pre- 
 sented for living assunder contrary to law," also charged 
 "with lacivious and wanton carrage;" on the examination 
 she refused to answer and appears to have got off clear; 
 he said he "did it as being her head and having the rule 
 of her in the Pointe and that he did it for her correction 
 of her disorder towards him." The court held he had 
 "broken the Perfect rule of divine law Mai. 2: 16; Matt. 
 19: 6; and 1 Peter 3:7 & the law of the Colony in the 
 intent if not in the letter in the first living assunder" and 
 ordered him "whipped ten stripes on the naked body" and 
 imposed a fine for which his sons became responsible and 
 which the court refused to remit after his tragic death. 
 On June 25, 1683, his widow Elizabeth married Thomas 
 Dibble of Windsor, Conn., and died September 25, 1689.

 with twenty-four other citizens of Hatfield joined in a pe- 
 tition to the General Court of Massachusetts Colony to 
 have a church established at Hatfield, "on the west side of 
 the river, commonly called by the name of the Connec- 
 ticut River, where we, for the most part, have lived about 
 six years, and have attended on God's ordinances on the 
 other side of the river at the appointed seasons that we 
 could or durst to pass over the river, the passing being 
 very difficult and dangerous, both in summer and winter, 
 which thing hath proved, and is, an oppressive burden for 
 us to bear, which if by any lawful means, it may be avoided, 
 we should be glad and thankful to this Honored Court to 
 
64 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 ease us therein, conceiving it to be a palpable breach of the 
 Sabbath," etc. This petition was granted and they were 
 allowed a church. Barnabas Hinsdale was killed with 
 Lathrop at Bloody Brook, September 18, 1675. His widow 
 Sarah married, third, February 3, 1679, Walter Hickson,

 4. SAMUEL HINSDALE 2 (Robert 1 ) , son of Deacon Robert Hins-

 in Dedham, married October 31, 1660, Mehitabel Johnson, 
 born 1644; baptized March 29, 1646; died August 4, 1689; 
 daughter of Humphrey Johnson of Roxbury, Mass., and 
 Ellen Cheney, his wife. Samuel Hinsdale was killed with 
 Lathrop at Bloody Brook, September 18, 1675. He re- 
 moved with his father from Dedham to Medfield; married 
 at seventeen, and soon after becoming of age, joined the 
 settlers at Hadley. In 1664, he, with forty-four other citi- 
 zens of Medfield, signed the now famous Medfield Memo- 
 rial, of which the following is a copy: "To the Honored 
 General Court of Massachusetts Colonie assembled on the 
 19th day of the 8th month 1664, the humble Repre- 
 sentation of the inhabitants of Medfield. Forasmuch as 
 we have heard that there have been Representations 
 made unto his Majestie concerninge divissions among us 
 & dissatisfaction about the present Government of this 
 Colonie. Wee whose names are Underwritten the Inhabi- 
 tants & householders of the Towne above mentioned, do 
 Hereby testify our uanimous Satisfaction in adheringe to 
 the present Government, so long & orderly established & 
 our earnest of the Continuance thereof, and of all the Liber- 
 ties pertaininge thereunto wch are contained in the Charter 
 Graunted by King James and King Charles the First of 
 famous Memorie. Under the Encouragement & Security of 
 which Charter, wee or our Fathers ventured over the Ocean 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 65 
 
 into this Wilderness through great Hazzards, Charges & 
 Difficulties. And we humblie desire that our Honored 
 Generall Court would add roooo themselves by humble Peti- 
 tion to his Majestic for his Royal! favor in the eontinance 
 of the present establishment, and of all the PliviledgOfl 
 thereof; and that wee may not be subjected to the Arbi- 
 trary power of any who are not Chosen by the People ac- 
 cordinge to there Patent; so earnestly begging ye sweete 
 presence and blessing of God on all your faithful endeavors 
 Wee shall rest full obedience to support the present Gov- 
 ernment with our persons and estates. 
 Yours in all humble & faith." 
 
 He invested largely in the Dedham grant of 8,000 acres 
 at Pocumtuck, where he was the first settler. The town 
 records of Dedham, under date of May 18, 1669, contain 
 the following: 
 
 "Samuel Hinsdale of Hadley in the County of Ham- 
 shier having purchased some property in Pocumtuck in 
 the land granted and laid out to the inhabitants of Ded- 
 ham. and made improvement by ploughing land there, 
 came this day to the selectmen and gave account of the 
 reasons of his so doing and demanded the laying out of the 
 rights he had so purchased of one of the inhabitants of Ded- 
 ham, that he might settle himself upon it, and proceed in 
 improvement thereof for his own supply, or if it could 
 not be yet laid out, that then some small parcel of up- 
 land might be granted and laid out to build a house upon. 
 To which we answer that we see not cause to forbid him, 
 seeing himself is content to bear the venture of the place 
 where he make improvement ; but it not being in our power 
 to do what he demands herein, we think meet to do what 
 in us lies to move the proprietors to promote the laying out 
 each inhabitant's right there, and to that end, that the lots 
 may be prepared and drawn, that some better rule may 
 be had for every proprietor to know where about his own 
 interest lies, and that in the first opportunity." 
 
 In the spring of 1669, his plowshare first turned up the 
 virgin soil of Pocumtuck. The town was surveyed and 
 the land divided in 1671. In 1672 he petitioned the town 
 of Dedham to appoint a Committee of suitable persons to 
 
66 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 regulate the affairs of the new settlement, and in 1673 the 
 General Court, "in answer to the petition of Samuel Hins- 
 dale and others, allow the petitioners the liberty of a town- 
 ship," and granted such an addition "as that the whole 
 shall be seven miles square," and "do further empower 
 Samuel Hinsdale with five men of Hatfield and Hadley, a 
 committee to admit inhabitants, grant lands and order all 
 their prudential affairs, until they shall be in a capacity 
 to manage their own affairs." 
 
 During the two ensuing years the committee was not idle. 
 Lands were granted, claims adjusted, a church founded, 
 and, in execution of one of the provisions of the General 
 Court in its grant, "an able orthodox minister" in the per- 
 son of Rev. Samuel Mather was settled in the infant town, 
 now known as Deerfield. Immediately preceding his death 
 in 1675, he lived on lot 14 in Deerfield. In 1677, on peti- 
 tion of his widow, the Court gave her this lot for her own. 
 This same year she married, second, John Root, who was 
 killed by the Indians September 19, 1677, while preparing 
 a house for his new wife on this lot. After his death it 
 was again confirmed to her. She married, third, Deacon 
 John Coleman of Hatfield, Mass. She died August 4, 1689. 
 Samuel Hinsdale also owned lots 35, 36, 40, 42 and 43 in 
 Deerfield. In 1670, he owned one-twelfth part of the entire 
 8,000 acre grant. His personal estate of 45 pounds was 
 "given his widow to bring up their children." Samuel 
 Hinsdale was one of the most prominent and energetic 
 citizens of Deerfield. His son Mehuman was the first white 
 child born in the territory of Pocumtuck.

 son of Martin Kellogg and Ann Hinsdale, his wife, born 
 Oct. 26, 1686; died Nov. 15, 1753. He lived at Newington, 
 Conn., and married Dorothy Chester, daughter of Stephen 
 Chester of Wethersfield, Conn. She was born September 5, 
 1692. In the attack on Deerfield on the night of February 
 29, 1703, by the French and Indians, Martin with his father 
 and two brothers and two sisters were captured and taken 
 to Canada. All returned but his sister Joanna, who mar- 
 ried an Indian Chief. Martin Kellogg became a noted 
 official interpreter of the French and Indian tongues, and 
 at the time of his death had charge of an Indian school at 
 Stockbridge, Mass. 
 
 75. ANNA KELLOGG 4 (Ann Hinsdale 3 Samuel 2 Robert 1 ) , daugh-

 He was active in the old French War of 1747-8. In 1710, 
 he bought of Martin Kellogg lot 36 at Deerfield, and he 
 was living there in 1756. 
 
 78. COLONEL EBENEZER HINSDALE* (Mehuman 8 Samuel 2 
 Robert 1 ), son of Lieutenant Mehuman Hinsdale and Mary 
 Rider, his wife, born between May 30, and August 4, 1706, 
 at sea, during the return of his parents from captivity in 
 Canada. On landing at Boston, he was baptized in the old 
 Old South Church by the Pastor, the Rev. Samuel Willard. 
 He was graduated at Harvard College, 1727; was ordained 
 a missionary to the Indians at the Old South Church, Bos- 
 ton, December 12, 1733, and stationed at Fort Dummer, 
 near the present town of Hinsdale, N. H., which place was 
 founded by, and named for him. He remained as Chap- 
 lain at the Fort until 1740. He was not a great success 
 as a missionary, but succeeded in civil and military life. 
 In 1743, he built, at his own cost, Fort Hinsdale, located 
 where the town of that name now is. He owned two 
 mulato slaves, Mesheck and Jockton. The former was an 
 important member of his master's family. The Colonel did 
 a large mercantile business at Hinsdale and also at Deer- 
 field. Mesheck seems to have conducted the business at 
 one place while his master was at the other. The Colonel 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 85 
 
 had his residence in Door field on lot 42. He was active in 
 
 the French and Indian Wars, and events of importance 
 centered about Fort Hinsdale; was Influential with the 
 Colonial officers and useful in the Commissary Department. 
 He fell somewhat from grace, left the ministry, was ac- 
 cused of intemperance, and in 17f)(), " he offered a Confes- 
 sion before the Church" for the "sin of Intemperate 
 Drinking" and "no objection was made against its being 
 accepted." He married about 1730 Abigail William-, 
 daughter of Reverend John Williams. After the death 
 of Colonel Ebenezer Hinsdale, which occurred January 6, 
 1763, at Hinsdale, she married, second, October 18, 1764, 
 Colonel Benjamin Hall of Wallingford, Conn., who died, 
 when she married, third, between June 15, and October 
 23, 1773, Honorable Ebenezer Silliman, of Fairfield, Conn., 
 who died October 11, 1775, and she returned to her old 
 home, where she died December 3, 1783, and was buried 
 by the side of her first husband, Ebenezer, at Hinsdale. 
 She was a woman of great energy and executive ability, 
 literally a daughter of "The Redeemed Captive," for she 
 was born after his return from captivity in Canada, and 
 inherited much of his brave spirit. Being a woman she 
 could not bear arms, but she could command those who 
 did. During her residence at the Fort, there was indeed 
 no war, but Indians were constantly at the Fort for trad- 
 ing and other purposes, and she came to know the race 
 well. In a Diary of "A Tour to the Connecticut River 
 through the Colony of Massachusetts from Wells by Patd 
 Coffin," occurs the following: 
 
 "July 25, 1760, Rode alone to Deerfield, dined with Rev. 
 Ashley; then waited on Col. Hinsdale. This man, with 
 Joseph Secombe and Mr. Parker, was ordained a missionary 
 in Boston. Hinsdale was sent westward. The other two 
 went East. All this must have been done long before the 
 War of 1755. Hinsdale did not preach long. The town 
 near Fort Dummer is now called Hinsdale, after the 
 said Hinsdale. The fort he built at his own cost. 
 
 "July 27. Went to Hinsdale yesterday, and here lodged 
 last night. Madam Hinsdale went with me in a Row-Boat 
 3 miles to hear a Mr. Strong, afterwards, Judge Strong, 
 preach. His texts were Tit. 2:11, 12, and 1 John 3:2. 
 
86 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 "July 28. I rode this day about 36 miles. There are 
 about 20 families in Hinsdale, 62 in Northfield. Col. 
 Hinsdale has 30 acres of English grain fit for the sickel." 
 
 The inscription on the granite slab over his grave, which 
 his widow Abigail caused to be erected, has been so obliter- 
 ated by time, that it is now impossible to decipher all the 
 words. From other sources, we learn that this is what was 
 once discernable: 
 
 "Underneath deposited is the body of Col. Ebenezer 
 Hinsdale, who for his supernatural endowments, extensive 
 learning and usefulness, not only in his private life, but in 
 various important public offices he sustained, was far 
 Known and admired. After a long illness, he died January 
 6, 1763. Here also lies the body of Mrs. Mary Beal, the 
 mother of Col. Ebenezer Hinsdale, who was born on her 
 return from captivity in Canada, with whom she lived a 
 widow at the time of his death, which is thought to have 
 brought on hers, the morning after when she died Anno 
 Aetatis 83. Her husbands were Lieut. Mehuman 
 Hinsdale and Mr. George Beal. By the first she had two 
 sons, Samuel and John after this, whose only child, 
 Abigail Hinsdale, died at Hinsdale August 10, 1739, 
 anno aetatis 6, was interred at Deerfield. His still sur- 
 viving partner, Mrs. Abigail Hinsdale, daughter of the 
 Rev. John Williams of Deerfield, and worthy relic of Col. 
 Ebenezer Hinsdale, now mourning the absence of her 
 dear deceased relations, has caused their names and 
 destinies to be recorded together on this stone June 2, 
 1764." 
 
 Abigail, the widow of Ebenezer, left a will, the provi- 
 sions of which are as follows; "To my niece, Sarah Wil- 
 liams, a silver cup with Coat of Arms of Hinsdale Family 
 engraved upon it. To the Church in Hinsdale my great 
 silver tankard with Hinsdale Coat of Arms. 
 
 "To Abigail Norton, my niece, my chaise, gold neck- 
 lace, and gold earrings. 
 
 "To my grand-daughter Abigail Hall my silk gown and 
 gold necklace. 
 
 "To my grand-daughter Frances Silliman gold locket. 
 
 "To my niece Martha Reynolds, dark padaroy gown. 
 
 "To Anna Cushing, my looking-glass. To the wife of 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY s7 
 
 Esq. John Williams, my crimson cloak. Chloe, my oegrow, 
 
 to be free at my death; to have a bible, a cow, n feather 
 l)od, a brass Kettle, :i pot. 2 t minds, Chests, band-irons, 
 
 chairs and pewter things. Jockton, a mulatto of Col. 
 
 Hinsdale's to have the avails of 100 acre- of land iii New 
 
 Hampshire." 
 
 The "cup" and "tankard" mentioned as having the 
 Family Coat of Arms engraven thereon, have not ye1 
 
 been found, though much search has been made for 
 them. Unless one of these is found, the device 
 of the Hinsdale Coat of Arms in this country 
 will probably not be known. There is in the posses- 
 sion of Miss M. J. Marshall of Weston, Mass., a fine 
 silver cup or Cann, as it is called, presented as a 
 wedding gift in 1752 by Col. Ebenezer and his wife 
 Abigail, to their niece Mrs. Abigail Williams. It has been 
 handed down through several generations, and at different 
 times the several donors have engraved upon it the fol- 
 lowing: "This Cann is presented to Mrs. Abigail Williams 
 by her Uncle and Aunt Hinsdale 1752. In 1847. Presented 
 by Miss Sarah Woodward, the daughter of Abigail Williams 
 to her niece Mrs. Sophia Marshall. In 1876, presented 
 by Mrs. Sophia Marshall to her daughter, Maria J. Mar- 
 shall." The device engraven on this cup is a wreath with 
 a stag in the center and the head and neck of a stag on the 
 crest. This is evidently not the "cup" mentioned in the 
 will of Abigail Hinsdale, nor is it likely that the device upon 
 it represents the Hinsdale Coat of Arms, but was probably 
 engraven upon it before its purchase, to add to its beauty. 
 The original commission dated 1740, from Gov. Belcher 
 to Ebenezer Hinsdale to be Chaplain at Fort Dummer is 
 preserved in Memorial Hall, Deerfield. (No. 87 Library). 
 Also autograph receipt for money from Gov. Thos. 
 Hutchinson to Ebenezer Hinsdale dated 1749. (No. 155 
 Library). Also receipt for legacy from estate of Madam 
 Silliman (Abigail Hinsdale) by Bunker Gay. 1791. (No. 
 156 Library).

 Parish of Part ridgefi eld (now Peru) named for one of the subsequent propri- 
 etors, Oliver Partridge of Hatfield. The first settlement of the town com- 
 menced about 1763 by the arrival of David, Thomas and Frances Miller from 
 Middlebury. From 1775 to 1800 a large number of families settled here, 
 mostly from Connecticut. Two of the persons from that state, Rev. Theo- 
 dore Hinsdale and Richard Starr, were instrumental in organizing the Con- 
 gregational Church in Dec, 1795 with a membership of 23 persons. In 
 1800 the parish was so far out of debt that it proceeded to settle a minister. 
 In 1801 the church invited Rev. Caleb Knight to become their pastor, — or- 
 dained 1802. June 21, 1804 the parish was incorporated into a town with the 
 name of Hinsdale in honor of Rev. Theodore Hinsdale, one of the first settlers. 
 In 1807 the first bell was purchased for the church, Theodore Hinsdale, Jr., 
 giving $100.00 towards it. Holland's "History of Western Massachusetts."

 enter, is a handsome monument to his memory. The 
 inscription upon it was doubtless a sincere tribute. "A 
 lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, 
 holy, temperate, holding fast the faithful word as he hath 
 been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine, 
 both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers." 
 
 From "History of Berkshire County, •" Edited by D. D. Field. 
 
 "The Rev. Mr. Hinsdale in honor of whom the town was 
 named, was the son of Mr. John Hinsdale of Berlin, Conn. 
 He was born November 25, 1738, O. S., and in the 20th 
 year of his age was admitted a member of Yale College 
 where he sustained a very respectable standing as scholar 
 and Christian. After he was graduated he was employed 
 several years in teaching and at the same time engaged 
 in preparing for the ministry to which he was ordained 
 in the 29th year of his age as pastor of a church in Windsor, 
 Conn. In a concio delivered at Yale College he defended 
 ably the divinity of the Scriptures, in an argument from 
 prophecy. After 28 years happily spent with his people he 
 was induced to consent to a dismission, by a union of his 
 parish with the other Congregational parish in the town. 
 Being somewhat advanced in age and having a numerous 
 family of sons he came to this town and settled on a farm. 
 It was still his intention to have continued statedly in the 
 ministry, but in providence a door never seemed opened 
 for his re-settlement. He therefore spent his days in the 
 town, occasionally preaching in different places. In town 
 he exerted a very happy influence; was the principal agent 
 in gathering the church and in establishing religious order. 
 For a number of years he officiated as justice of the 
 peace, and in the various conditions of life maintained a 
 dignity of character and soundness which few possess. 
 He was a lover of learning and though in a measure retired 
 from the duties of the ministry, kept up an habitual ac- 
 quaintance with the intelligence appropriately ministered, 
 associated with his brethern and was not unfrequently 
 called to sit in ecclesiastical councils. He preserved till 
 his death a knowledge of his youthful studies, read the 
 classics with perfect ease and could quote them readily 
 when occasion called.

 *Copv of a card attached to the portrait of Miss Nancy Hinsdale, presented 
 to the Pittsfield, Mass., Library by John H. Willard of Troy, N. Y. 
 
 "Nancy Hinsdale, born April 16, 1769, died May 16, 1851 aged 82 years. 
 She was the eldest daughter of Rev. Theodore Hinsdale. The Pittsfield Fe- 
 male Academy under her direction was founded and became distinguished ae 
 being the mother of all Pittsfield seminaries. The writer was the pupil of 
 her cousin, Miss Hinsdale, in the year 1812, whom she ever regarded with love 
 and veneration often viewing her as the Hannah More of America. Like that 
 venerable woman she was courteous, benevolent, learned, discreet and pious, 
 and like her spent a long life in maiden meditation fancy free. " If she did 
 not write scores of books" she preached sermons to the young, trained them 
 in the way they should go and always exercised great influence in the 
 sphere in which she moved. She had lived in retirement several years when 
 in 1830 the writer being Principal of the Troy Seminary in the absence of her 
 sister Mrs. Willard (then in Europe) urged her cousin to come to her help, or 
 as she said " to teach her how to teach." Mrs. Hinsdale, (for we adopted the 
 English custom of address to a single lady past middle age) , remained at Troy 
 till removed by death from this mortal lite. Here she was ever devoted to 
 good works, counseling the teachers, instructing the pupils and often filling 
 the place of Chaplain. She was faithful to her church and clergymen looked 
 up to her as a wise friend and adviser. The writer in her own advanced age 
 esteems it a privilege that she is permitted to offer this tribute to the blessed 
 memory of a saint like woman whose portrait may well be entitled to a place 
 among the benefactors of a past age."

 Elijah Hinsdale was a blacksmith. On February 12, 1777, 
 he bought of Stephen Lee, the old homestead of his grand- 
 father, Captain Stephen Lee, called later the Hinsdale 
 house, at the north corner of East and Smalley streets in 
 New Britain. For £208, except the incumbrance of his 
 father, he purchased his home-lot of two acres, and house, 
 his barn-lot of twenty-four acres, and his lot next east 
 of the meeting house containing eight acres. He occupied 
 also the smith shop formerly built and occupied by John 
 Richards. His place extended west to the meeting house 
 yard, except the "burying ground." He had a mulberry 
 orchard and silk house, and received a silk bounty from the

 June 2G, 1 797. Mr. .lames Freeman Clark in his Memorial 
 and Biographical Sketches speaks thus of Elijah Hinsdale: 
 "He was a. remarkable man, intrusted with town offices, a 
 great reader, and with only ordinary advantages, possessed 
 himself of an extraordinary fund of knowledge. His won- 
 derful love of learning and a capability of retaining it will 
 undoubtedly be found to have been handed down to the 
 Hinsdales and throughout the various branches of their 
 descendants as far as it can be traced."

 was Emma, married John Willard; and another was 
 Almira (Mrs. Phelps), both known widely as instruc- 
 tresses and authoresses. Dr. John Lord, in his " Life of 
 Emma Willard," thus speaks of her mother: "She was 
 practical, economical, industrious, sagacious, charitable, 
 an admirable manager, a help-meet — a type of those 
 old-fashioned New England wives who believe in duties 
 rather than rights, and who kept alive the fire of her 
 domestic hearth by her loyalty and love."

 52 years. He married, about 1761, Magdalen Seymour, 
 daughter of Captain Jonathan Seymour and Mary Bull, 
 his wife. She died at Hartford, October 17, 1782, aged 
 42 years. A stone marks her grave in Centre Cemetery, 
 back of First Church, Hartford. In October, 1764, he was 
 appointed by the General Assembly of the Colony of 
 Connecticut, Surveyor for the County of Hartford. He 
 surveyed the land given to South Church, Hartford, by the 
 Buckingham heirs. The History of this Church contains 
 a fac-simile of his autograph and date of survey, Decem- 
 ber 23, 1774. He served in the War of the Revolution; 
 was made Ensign, December, 1776, and was Lieutenant 
 of 2nd Company, 1st Regiment, May, 1777. He was 
 afterwards called Captain. During the Revolutionary

 War two French officers of Court Rochambeau's army 
 entered the house of Barnabas Hinsdale in Hartford, and 
 one of them attempted to kiss his daughter. She strug- 
 gled away from him, knocking off his ehapeau into a kett le 
 of water. She was very much frightened, expecting that 
 he would kill her at once, but he good naturedly brushed 
 off the water and left the house. The above was told to 
 Reverend Daniel Butler by his mother, Chloe Hinsdale, 
 who saw the occurrence.

 Curtis, his wife, born about 1740 at Hartford, married 
 Elizabeth, who died May 31, 1819, aged 65. He was a 
 member of the first Council of Hartford held June 1, 1784, 
 under its first Charter, when General Lafayette was granted 
 the freedom of the city. He was living at Hartford Sepem- 
 ber3, 1824, when the General revisited Hartford, but from 
 age and infirmity was unable to attend the festivities in 
 honor of the General. He was among those paying the 
 largest rates for the support of the South Church, Hartford. 
 He was a merchant/and became a stockholder in the first 
 woolen mill in America, established at Hartford, and of 
 which he was made agent. In January, 1789, the first cloth 
 was placed in the New York market. The 4th of the next 
 March was the meeting of the Federal Congress. Colonel 
 Wadsworth, one of the Delegates from Connecticut, took 
 with him an open letter from Daniel Hinsdale to the Presi- 
 
98 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 dent, accompanied with a piece of cloth for him, and also 
 one for his wife, each thirty yards, color, dark brown. 
 Of this was made the suit of the President for his inaugu- 
 ration. All the members of Congress wore the Hartford 
 cloth. As early as 1783, Daniel Hinsdale established a 
 woolen factory at or near Hartford. The capital was 
 £1,250 in £10 shares. It is asserted that 5,000 yards of cloth 
 was made there from September, 1788, to September, 1789. 
 Some of this sold at five dollars per yard. Washington 
 was much interested in this affair so closely connected with 
 the future progress of the country. He ordered a suit of 
 broadcloth for himself and a whole piece of "everlasting" 
 to make breeches for his servants. When he received the 
 suit he wrote to General Knox that " it exceeds my expec- 
 tations." The Hartford grey was a celebrated cloth. 
 
 Daniel Hinsdale was in the West India trade at Middle- 
 town, Conn., and became quite wealthy.

 excellent quality. The wife, Lydia, was now left at the age 
 of 35, a widow with four sons, besides one who was born 
 57 days after his father's death, and who lived but 19 days. 
 Her brother, Mr. Hinsdale, assisted her and aided her in 
 educating her boys, especially Elisha, the oldest. In the 
 Spring of 1793, the second son, Ozias, then nineteen years 
 old, went up alone to the land in Morristown. Only three 
 families had wintered there. He hired out to a Mr. Heard, 
 about four miles away, but during the summer went on the 
 land and girdled the large trees. He returned to Canaan in 
 November, and the next spring, with his brother William, 
 then less than nineteen, returned to Morristown, and built 
 a shanty on the land. In the spring of 1795, Elisha, with 
 his mother and Alfred, the youngest brother, moved to 
 Morristown. After the three oldest brothers were married, 
 they let their mother decide with which of them she 
 would live. She said Elisha had too much public business, 
 and could not attend well to his home affairs; William was 
 a good son, but was careless and would leave the bars down, 
 exposing the crops; but Ozias always put up the bars and 
 so she decided to live with him. She was strictly Puritan 
 in her habits; regarding the evening and morning as the 
 first day, she would always leave off working at sundown 
 on Saturday and resume it at sundown on Sunday. She 
 died at the age of 75 at the house of her son Ozias in 
 Morristown. She lies buried with her four sons in the old 
 cemetery in that town.

 Mitchell, who was born at Arlington September 4, 1770> 
 and died at Kalamazoo, Mich., March 28, 1851, aged 81. 
 His daughter, Mrs. Lucinda Hinsdale Stone, in 1895, 
 writes of him as follows: "My father was a great lover of 
 animals, and a most humane man about their treatment. 
 One pet dog, which I can remember as far back as I can 
 remember anything, was named Ponto. He was one of 
 the family, and he came to us in a way that illustrates 
 my father's character and I think is a trait in all the 
 Hinsdales. My father owned mills, and going down to his 
 null one morning, a dog came and pulled at his trousers in 
 a very earnest and excited way, then ran down stream, 
 looked into the stream, and came back repeating all these 
 signs of distress, until he made my father follow him, 
 when he saw a child who had fallen into the stream lodged 
 against a stone in the middle that prevented his being 
 swept clown. As soon as he had made my father see the 
 child, he ran into the stream and dragged him out through 
 the water. The child was not so far gone, but that my 
 father, with the help of persons whom he called, resuscitated 
 him and restored him to his father, who was a man in 
 my father's employ. A few days after, my father 
 heard of this man trying to sell this dog, and my father 
 bought the dog and he was my earliest playmate; but 
 he immediately dismissed the man from his employ; 
 he said he would not have a man in his employ who would 
 do so inhuman a thing as that — sell a dog that had saved 
 his child." Speaking further of her father's religious sen- 
 timent, Mrs. Stone writes; " He could not receive or 
 tolerate the old orthodoxy; he said, whatever be the con- 
 sequences, he could not worship or go to church pretending 
 to worship, a God who would be less good on the other side 
 of the grave than on this side ; he did not believe he would 
 
104 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 send his creatures to hell, and he would not pretend to 
 believe it, and as my father was a comeouter, I was told 
 many times before I was ten years old by the school child- 
 ren, that my father had gone to hell, and I went to sleep 
 a thousand times crying at the hell spread out before my 
 childish eyes, and my father tossing on its flames. My 
 mother did not teach me this, nor was it the belief of the 
 family, but it was always what I heard preached at church 
 and talked in prayer meeting and revivals. Is it any 
 wonder that I am a heretic? I think my father's charac- 
 ter in regard to these things was the Hinsdale character 
 and I tell you of it as a fact to be gratefully remembered 
 in your genealogical research. I remember little un tel- 
 lable traits that show me that it was the character be- 
 longing to the Hinsdales."

 173. CAPTAIN ELISHA HINSDALE fl (Jacob 5 Jacob 4 Barnabas 3 
 Barnabas 2 Robert 1 ), son of Captain Jacob Hinsdale, Jr. 
 and his first wife, Mary Brace, born at Harwinton, Conn., 
 February 28, 1761, died at Norton, (then Medina County, 
 but now) Summit Co., 0., June 22, 1827, aged 67. He mar- 
 ried, first, November 16, 1783, Asenath Barnes, who 
 died March 16, 1800, aged 40, leaving five little boys, one 
 of them only five days old. He married, second, January 
 20, 1801, Elizabeth Holcomb, born July 23, 1769, 
 daughter of Joseph Holcomb of Granby, Conn. She 
 bore him three children and died August 27, 1846, 
 aged 77. When a young boy Captain Elisha Hins- 
 dale went with his father's family to Canaan, Conn., 
 where he] was brought up. He learned the trade of a black- 
 smith. At sixteen years of age he enlisted at Canaan in the 
 Continental army, and served three years in the Central 
 army between New York and the Potomac, in the darkest 
 period of the war. He was under the command of La 
 Fayette and wintered at Valley Forge. When he had 
 served three years he was taken sick, and his father went 
 for him and brought him home. It is supposed that thus 
 his constitution was so broken down that he was unable to 
 do any hard work. So he learned the jeweler's trade, 
 serving his apprenticeship at Litchfield, when the elms were 
 planted in that village. He followed this business for a 
 few years in Canaan, when his shop was burned with his 
 tools. Being a mechanical genius who could do anything, 
 he went with his brother, Deacon Abel Hinsdale, to Tor- 
 rington, Conn., in 1799, and carried on the axe and scythe 
 business and general blacksmithing there. They were lo- 
 cated between Winsted and what is now Torrington village, 
 on the western branch of the Naugatuck River, about three 
 miles north of Torrington Hollow, at a place once called 
 the Axe Factory, and later the Tannery, and Appley's 
 Mills; it seems to have been called Holbrook's Mills also. 
 Here the Hinsdales made the celebrated "clover-leaf axes" 
 
IIIN'SDALK (iENEALOGY LIB 
 
 (from the trademark), tin- fame of which preceded Captain 
 Hinsdale to Ohio. In L805and 1806 Captain EHisha Hins- 
 dale represented Torrington in the Legislature. A l >ur i< He 
 of his old commissions, printed <>n the coarse, stiff brown 
 paper <>f the times, is still in existence. His captain's com- 
 mission, Bigned "Samuel Huntington, Esquire, Captain 
 ( leneral and Commander in Chief over the State of Connecti- 
 cut, in America," bears date of May, L794. In 1816 Captain 
 Klisha llinsdalc sold his lands in Torrington to his brother, 
 Deacon Abel Hinsdale, and removed west, having obtained 
 land in the Western Reserve. Orcutt in his "History of 
 Torrington" says: "From that day all business interests 
 in that locality have taken the down-hill course, until only 
 one old mill building is left and that looks as if ready to 
 tumble down any day." Captain Klisha Hinsdale removed 
 with his wife and children to Ohio, and, the year following, 
 settled at Norton, in what is now Summit County. He 
 made the journey to the West with a wagon drawn by two 
 yoke of oxen, in eight weeks. In Ohio, Captain Hinsdale 
 was a justice of the peace as long as health would permit. 
 His justice commissions bear the dates, October 9, 1819, 
 November 11, 1822, and November 21 , 1825, and are signed 
 respectively by Ethan A. Brown, Allen Trimble, and Jere- 
 miah Morrow, Governors. He was truly a peace-maker and 
 in life was universally respected. He was known in Connecti- 
 cut as Captain ; in Ohio, as Esquire Hinsdale. His son Albert 
 wrote of him, in the pamphlet which was published in 1883 : 
 " About 1822 he was overtaken by a disease that had been 
 on his track for several years, supposed to be gravel or stone, 
 but which was probably a cancerous tumor on the neck of 
 the bladder. He was unable to ride, or to walk only with 
 a cane, in consequence; but he made all our boots and shoes, 
 did all our mechanical work, and some blacksmithing. He 
 was at times subject to great distress, which increased un- 
 til he died, June 22, 1827, at the age of sixty-seven." 
 "Elisha Hinsdale was about six feet tall; of good form and 
 fine physical development; rather inclined to corpulency 
 and weighed 200 pounds; good-looking, witli a remarkably 
 fine skin; and when sixty years old had fresh cheeks, and 
 skin as fair as a child's. He had good judgment ; was very 
 prudent; had fine tact ; aial was very orderly in his habits; 
 
116 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 very honest and conscientious; liberal; of amiable dispo- 
 sition; social; and very careful not to give offense. I don't 
 know that he ever had an enemy." 
 
 Elizabeth Holcomb, his second wife, was one of a family 
 of several children. Her family lived to be old. Her 
 father died of cancer in the breast, and she was troubled 
 with a cancerous humor of the face. She was of good size 
 and figure, strong and vigorous constitution, very energetic, 
 industrious, and frugal in her habits, always looking well 
 to the welfare of her family. She was careful of the sick 
 and good to the poor. After her husband's death she was 
 a good deal broken up, and more so after the death of her 
 children. At times she was quite discontented and quite 
 unhappy; she was much disposed to borrow trouble. She 
 died suddenly of heart disease at the home of her son, Al- 
 bert Hinsdale.

 necticut Legislature from May, 1815, to 1821. When his

 The parting of the brothers on the top of the hill on the 
 Goshen road above the axe factory, in 1816, the one to 
 plunge into the wilds of the west, the other to remain 
 under the old roof-tree, is said to have been exceedingly 
 affecting. Deacon Abel Hinsdale was very highly spoken of 
 by the older people who remembered him.

 200. PHEBE HINSDALE 6 (George 5 Jacob* Barnabas 3 Barnabas 2 
 Robert 1 ), daughter of George Hinsdale and Phebe Allen, 
 his wife, born May 1, 1783; married at Canaan, N. Y., June 
 1, 1805, Timothy Brown, who died December 29, 1853. 
 She died at Henry, Illinois, in 1861. Both are buried at 
 Monson, Mass. 
 
 In Chicago, Illinois, at the home of her daughter, Han- 
 nah Whiting Smith, and at the request of her children, she, 
 in her sixty-sixth year, December 2, 1848, wrote her Auto- 
 biography, a wonderful record of early hardships endured 
 and overcome through great Christian fortitude. This 
 record was never published. A few copies in ink were made, 
 one of which is in the possession of her granddaughter, Lura 
 Hinsdale Smith of Alameda, California, another is with her 
 granddaughter, Mrs. Lowder, of Yokohama, Japan. She 
 was the youngest of seven children who survived their par- 
 ents. Her father died when she was about ten months of 
 age. Her mother died when she was about eight years 
 old. Her parents were very poor and left nothing to their 
 orphan children. Shortly after the death of her father she, 
 with her sister, Lydia, were committed to the care of their 
 maternal grandparents, the Aliens. Here she remained 
 until she was nine years of age and received kind treatment 
 and religious instruction from her pious grandmother. 
 This teaching, mainly from the Bible, fell on good ground. 
 Phebe was of a reserved, quiet, sensitive nature, inclined 
 to deep meditation from her earliest youth — always thought- 
 ful, kind, deeply religious, interested in the welfare of 
 others, most zealous to acquire knowledge, especially of 
 a religious character. When nine years old, she had 
 carefully read the entire Bible through, three times, with 
 her grandmother always at hand to explain any obscure 
 passages. From this age of nine years, until she reached 
 the age of eighteen years, she was deprived of all teach- 
 ing or instruction, and was not allowed to read a book of 
 any kind, except when she could do so by stealth. This, 
 next to the death of her parents, was the greatest calamity 
 which could befall her. It occurred in this wise: Her 
 mother just before her death, requested that Phebe be 
 committed to the care of her eldest sister Chloe, who was 
 then married to William Noyes, Junior, who proved to be a 
 
BINSDALE GENEALOGY 123 
 
 dastardly tyrant of the meanesl type, and who treated 
 Phebe full as badly as if she were a negro Blave. Ber 
 sister was so dominated by her brutal husband, thai she, 
 being of a weak nature, dared not even to show kindne 
 to her orphan sister in the presence of her husband. But 
 enough of these Bad years. June l. 1806, Bhe married 
 
 Mr. Timothy Brown, a carpenter and painter, a poor man, 
 
 but a kind and devoted husband. November following 
 
 they took up their residence at Mast Windsor, Con- 
 necticut; here two children were horn to them, Julia M. 
 and Samuel Robbins. After nine years they removed to 
 Ellington^ six miles distant, where they lived for five years. 
 Here two children, .Mary and Hannah, were born. Here 
 also "The Twilight Hymn" was written — 
 
 " I love to steal a while away 
 From every cumbering care," etc.. 
 
 well and favorably known and often sung in all religious 
 societies of orthodox creed. The second line as written by 
 Mrs. Brown, ran — 
 
 "From little ones and care." 
 
 The poor mother worn out with the household duties of the 
 clay sought relief at evening in meditation and silent prayer 
 in a grove hard by her humble dwelling. In 1818 the 
 Browns removed to Monson, in Hampden County, Massa- 
 chusetts, where they lived until Mr. Brown's death, De- 
 cember 29, 1S53. Phebe then came to live with her distin- 
 guished son, Samuel Robbins Brown, at Owasco Outlet, 
 near Auburn, New York. Phebe died at the home of her 
 daughter Hannah (Mrs. Elijah Smith) at Henry, Illinois, 
 in 1861. Thus ended the life of a most devoted Christian 
 wife and mother, and one of the sweetest American Chris- 
 tian poets.

 wife. He discarded his first name "Josiah," and 
 was known as "Bissell." In the year 1800, he came 
 to Winstead, Conn., where he carried on a large, and for 
 many years a prosperous business, selling goods, buying 
 and slaughtering cattle for the West India trade, making 
 potash and buying cheese for the New York market. In 
 1826, he became involved in the failure of his brothers, 
 John and Daniel, of Middletown, Conn., on whose paper he 
 was an endorser for a large amount, and thereby his busi- 
 ness was broken up and his property swept away. In 1842, 
 he removed to Rochester, N. Y., where his two daughters re- 
 sided, and where he carried on a commission business for 
 several years. He made a profession of religion at middle

 229. EMMA HART 6 (Lydia Hinsdale 5 John 4 Barnabas 3 Barna-

 Hinsdale, his wife, born at Berlin, Conn., February 23, 1787, 
 died at Troy, N. Y., April 15, 1870. She married, in 1809, 
 Doctor John Willard, Marshal of the State of Vermont, 
 who died in May, 1825. Her long and useful life was de- 
 voted to the improvement of women's education. Begin- 
 ning in her native town as a school teacher at the age of 
 sixteen, she taught subsequently in Massachusetts, Ver- 
 mont and New York, but became especially identified 
 with the city of Troy, N. Y., where she conducted a famous 
 seminary for young ladies during the years 1814-1838. In 
 the latter year she resigned the charge of her seminary and 
 came to Hartford, Conn., to reside. Her publications in- 
 clude a large number of text-books and manuals in history, 
 geography, astronomy, etc., the total sales of which 
 amounted to a million copies at the time of her death. 
 Her most original contribution to science was a "Treatise 
 on the Motive Powers which produce the Circulation of the 
 Blood" (1846). In 1830 she announced the publication 
 at Hartford of a volume of poems. Her best known poem 
 is the "Ocean Hymn," beginning, "Rocked in the cradle 
 
hinsdalk <;k.\i;ai.<h;y 131 
 
 of the deep." The following is a ju~t tribute: — "Mrs. 
 Willard brought to her great work a inlnd as clear and com- 
 prehensive as the light of noon-day, and a spirit as soft and 
 gentle as the BhadGG of evening. Her enthusiasm in the 
 improvement and elevation <>f her sex filled her soul and 
 inspired her life. For this she lived — for this she labored; 
 and the fruits of thai life and of those labors are scattered 
 broadcast through the whole country and through two gen- 
 erations. Her great and special gift was her power of in- 
 fluencing and controlling others. This was not clone by 
 little arts and petty devices; wisdom and justice were the 
 foundations of her government — sympathy and love the 
 secrets of her power. It is the attribute of genius to im- 
 press itself upon others; and if Mrs. Willard be judged by 
 this standard she certainly had few equals. Her pupils, 
 everywhere, bear the impress of their great education. 
 Trained to exact and severe thought, they analyze with 
 logical accuracy. Inspired with the sentiment that life has 
 duties which must be done, they do not waste it in frivoli- 
 ties. Having been taught by precept and example that home 
 is the sphere and throne of woman, they fill that home 
 with the precious joys of intelligence, peace and love." 
 
 Of those who are born of woman, no greater woman has 
 ever arisen to bless America than Emma Willard. The sweet 
 loving and highly intellectual influence which she exerted, 
 has been, and will continue to be, a sacred memory to mul- 
 titudes in our land. She was the acknowledged pioneer of 
 the higher education for woman in this country, and it may 
 be added, for the whole world. Her life has been written 
 by Doctor John Lord, and was published by Appletons, 
 New York, 1873.

 Emma Willard, educator, was born February 23, 17S7, at 
 Berlin, Conn. She was the daughter of Samuel Hart, who, 
 on his father's side, was descended from Stephen Hart, who 
 was deacon of the first church of Hartford; and on his 
 mother's side, from Thomas Hooker, minister of the same 
 church. Miss Hart was one of a family of seventeen chil- 
 dren, and was carefully educated by her parents, who were 
 
132 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 well-read and of strong character. Possessing slender 
 means, the children were instructed in habits of frugality 
 and thrift, and taught the lesson of self-denial in order to 
 help others. Her early education was finished at the village 
 academy, and at seventeen she began her life-work, as an 
 educator, in one of the village schools. She soon obtained 
 such a reputation as a teacher that in 1807 she was invited 
 to take charge of academies in three different states. She 
 went to Westfield, Conn., but remained there only a few 
 weeks, when she became principal of an academy for girls 
 at Middlebury, Vt. Two years later she resigned her po- 
 sition, on her marriage to Dr. John Willard, and in 1814 
 she opened a boarding-school for young women at Middle- 
 bury, into which she introduced new methods and new 
 studies. At the same time she wrote an "Address to the 
 Public," in which she set forth her "Plan for Improving 
 Female Education." Governor Clinton of New York recom- 
 mended her "Plan" in his message to the legislature, which 
 passed an act incorporating an institute at Waterford for 
 the " Improvement of Female Education." On Governor 
 Clinton's invitation Mrs. Willard removed her school to 
 Waterford, N. Y., and two years later she was induced to 
 transfer it to Troy, N. Y., where, in May, 1821, the famous 
 "Troy Female Seminary" was opened. Mrs. Willard con- 
 tinued at the head of the school until 1830, when ill health 
 compelled her to take a vacation abroad, and on her 
 return she published a volume of travels, the proceeds of 
 wihch she gave to the school for the education of native 
 teachers in Greece. She gave up her seminary in 1838, 
 and went to Hartford, Conn., where she spent much time 
 revising her text-books on "United States and Universal 
 History and Ancient Geography." In 1846 she published 
 "A Treatise on the Motive Powers which Produce the Cir- 
 culation of the Blood," in which she endeavored to prove 
 that the motive power of circulation was not the heart's 
 action, but respiration. She published also a volume of 
 poems, of which the best known is probably "Rocked in the 
 cradle of the deep." She died April 15, 1870.

 "Almira Hart, better known as Almira Lincoln Phelps, 
 was the 17th child of Captain Mart and was born in Worth- 
 ington in 1793. She received her education in part in her 
 sister's schools. At the age of 19, she taught a school in 
 her father's house, and not long after took charge of an 
 academy at Sandy Hill, New York. In 1817, she was 
 married to Simeon Lincoln of New Britian, then edi- 
 tor of a literary paper published in Hartford. He died in 
 1823, and in 1831 she was married to Hon. John Phelps of 
 Vermont, an eminent jurist and statesman, and went to re- 
 side in Guilford, and afterwards in Brattleboro, Vermont. 
 In 1838, she took charge of a seminary at West Chester, 
 Penn., and afterwards one in Rahway, New Jersey. In 
 1841, she was invited by the Bishop of Maryland and the 
 Trustees of the Patapsco Institute to found a Church 
 School for girls. Here she continued fifteen years, doing, 
 as her sister says " her great and crowning educational 
 work." Her husband died in 1849. She died in Balti- 
 more in 18S4, at the age of 91. From 1816, she was a de- 
 voted member of the Episcopal Church. She published 
 many books for students in various departments of natural 
 science, the best known of which is her work on Botany pub- 
 lished in 1829, while she was Vice Principal of the Troy 
 Seminary."

 Almira (Hart) Lincoln Phelps, educator and author, was 
 born at Berlin, Hartford County, Conn., July 15, 1793, daugh- 
 ter of Samuel and Lydia (Hinsdale) Hart. She was de- 
 scended from Stephen Hart, who was deacon of the first 
 church of Hartford and deputy to the general court of Con- 
 necticut, and also a descendant of Thomas Hooker, min- 
 ister of the same church and founder of Hartford. She 
 was the youngest of seventeen children, and was a sister of 
 
134 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 the reformer and educator, Mrs. Emma Willard, by whom 
 she was educated. She began teaching at an early age, 
 first in her father's house, and afterward at the Sandy Hill 
 (New York) Female Academy. After the death of her first 
 husband she was associated with her sister, Emma Wil- 
 lard, at the famous seminary in Troy, and in 1838 she took 
 charge of a seminary in West Chester, Pa. Her reputation 
 as a successful educator attracted the attention of the trus- 
 tees of the Patapsco Female Institute, of which Hon. 
 Thomas B. Dorsey, chief- justice of Maryland, was presi- 
 dent, and upon their invitation she removed to Ellicott 
 City, Md., in 1841, to assume charge of that institution, 
 which soon attained a high reputation. She was the author 
 of a series of elementary treatises, which were for many 
 years widely used as text-books, and was the second woman 
 elected a member of the American Association for the Ad- 
 vancement of Science. Her publications are: "Familiar 
 Lectures on Botany" (1829); "Dictionary of Chemistry" 
 (1830); "Botany for Beginners" (1831); "Geology for 
 Beginners" (1832); "Female Student; or, Fireside Friend," 
 (1833); "Chemistry for Beginners" (1834) ;" Lectures on 
 Natural Philosophy" (1835); "Lectures on Chemistry" 
 (1837); "Natural Philosophy for Beginners" (1837); and 
 " Hours With My Pupils " (1869) . She also wrote the tales : 
 "Caroline Westerly" (1833); "Ida Norman" (1850); and 
 "Christian Household" (1860); and edited "Our Country 
 in Its Relation to the Past, Present and Future" (1868), 
 for the benefit of the Christian and sanitary commissions. 
 In 1817 she was married to Simeon Lincoln, of Hartford, 
 Conn., who died in 1823, and in 1831 she was married to 
 Judge John Phelps, of Vermont. She was the mother of 
 three daughters and one son, Charles E. Phelps, who com- 
 manded a Maryland regiment in the civil war, served two 
 terms in Congress, and was twice elected judge. She died 
 in Baltimore, Md., July 15, 1884.

 Extract from a newspaper: 
 "Mr. Hiram Hinsdill, one of the pioneer settlers of Grand 
 Rapids, whose death, at the age of 82 years, occurred at 
 Plymouth last Friday came here, we think, in 1835, and 
 soon after came his brothers, Stephen and Myron Hins- 
 dill, well remembered by the earlier residents, from Ver- 
 mont. Hiram was the father of Mrs. C. P. Calkins. He 
 was an eminently honest, industrious and sociable Christian 
 man, overflowing with kindness and neighborly affection, 
 highly respected by all who knew him, and dearly loved by 
 his relatives and intimate friends. Mr. Hinsdill for a time 
 kept a public house, in the first frame building erected here, 
 by Joel Guild, on the ground where the City National Bank 
 now stands, and was afterwards landlord of the National 
 Hotel, which was erected by Hiram Hinsdill in 1835. The 
 later years of his life have been spent in quiet and retire- 
 ment till called to cross the silent river in the ripeness of 
 years reached by few men. A very large circle of relatives 
 and friends here mourn him tenderly, but as one gone 
 hopefully and happily to rest."

 married at Morristown, November 24, 1803, Lydia Little, 
 daughter of James Little, who emigrated to Morristown in 
 1800 from Litchfield County, Conn. Mr. Little was a sol- 
 dier in the Revolutionary War, and is said to have been 
 one of the three that survived out of several hundred in one 
 of the British prisons. Alfred Boardman was less than 
 three years old when his father died, and had very limited 
 opportunities for an education, as he emigrated at an early 
 age with his mother and brothers to the wilderness of 
 northern Vermont; yet those who remembered him said 
 that he was a man of more than ordinary information. He 
 fell from a load of hay about ten years before his death, 
 receiving injuries from which he never recovered, and he 
 was able to walk but very little after the accident.

 was married at Pompey, N. Y., by Hon. E. Litchfield, 
 September 24, 1828, at the residence of Truman Kellogg, 
 the brother of his bride, to Emily Kellogg, widow 
 of Chester Steele. She was born at Hudson, N. Y., Novem- 
 ber 11, 1798, and died at Grand Rapids, Mich., May 26, 
 1852. In 1833, he removed with his family to Kalama- 
 zoo County, Mich., and settled at what was then known as 
 Gull Prairie, since called Richland. In the spring of 1835, 
 he settled at Grand Rapids, Kent County, Mich. ; bought 
 of his cousin, Hiram, the hotel on the corner of Monroe and 
 Ionia streets, and was proprietor of the same until his 
 death. He brought with him from Vermont an excellent 
 set of surveyor's instruments, which he had learned to 
 use well, and his services as a surveyor were in frequent 
 demand among the early settlers, to run the quarter lines 
 between the sections and mark the boundaries of the new 
 farms. His nephew, Edwin C. Hinsdale, wrote of him in 
 1896: "I well remember the tall and stalwart form of 
 this cherished uncle, always loved by his brother's children, 
 who were old enough to remember him, but of whom his 
 sons can retain no recollection, as he died at Grand Rapids 
 at the early age of 39 years."

 Ind., September 14, 1846, aged 43. She was married 
 at Manekport, Harrison County, Ind., by Rev. Alex- 
 ander Williamson, June 29, 1829, to John Rice, who was 
 born at Washington, Washington County, Pa., April 16, 
 lS04,and died at Crawfordsville, Ind., February 5, 1898, at 
 the advanced age of nearly 94 years. He married, second, 
 February 20, 1849, Nancy Baldwin of Louisville, Ky., and 
 of this marriage'five children were born. Sophia Hinsdale 
 was an educated New England woman of great strength 
 and decision of character. She came to Indiana in 1827, 
 through the influence of a married sister who had preceded 
 her as a pioneer resident, intending to engage in teaching, 
 which profession she followed for a time and until her mar- 
 riage, after which she and her husband settled at Corydon. 
 He came to Indiana in 1807, and lived mainly at Corydon. 
 During most of his life, he was engaged in milling, and 
 trading in grain and stock. 
 
 From Rockvillc (Ind.) Republican, February 16, 1898. 
 
 "In the spring of 1807 Henry Rice, father of John Rice, 
 whose death at the advanced age of nearly 94 years has 
 just occurred at Crawfordsville, with his wife and six 
 children, of whom John was then the youngest, left Wash- 
 ington, Pa., and came down the Ohio river in flat boats, 
 stopping first at Tobacco Landing, Harrison county, Ind. 
 He purchased and settled upon a farm six miles east of 
 Corydon. At this time Indiana was but sparsely settled and 
 Indians were numerous, though quite civilized. Some two 
 
156 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 years later Henry Rice sold this property and removed to 
 Corydon. Indiana was still a territory, with its seat of gov- 
 ernment at Corydon. He speedily built what at that time 
 was considered a large, convenient and comfortable brick 
 house, which was used during the sittings of the legislature, 
 until the capital was changed to Indianapolis, as a hotel or 
 'tavern,' then so termed for the accommodation of that 
 deliberative body, and many are the interesting stories John 
 Rice has told of his life as a boy in his father's house, 
 when that house was filled with Indiana's early law makers. 
 
 "About the time Henry Rice moved to Corydon, Rev. 
 Dr. Crowe of Hanover, came to that town and organized 
 a Presbyterian church with Mr. Armstrong and the thor- 
 oughly orthodox Pennsylvania Presbyterian, Henry Rice, 
 as ruling elders. This office he filled till his death at the 
 age of 63 years. 
 
 "Four children more were added to this family after 
 removal to Indiana. All who lived to years of maturity 
 were upright, honorable Christian men and women, help- 
 ful and interested in all that was conducive to the up-build- 
 ing and growth of the new country, some of them occupy- 
 ing positions of honor and trust in both church and state, 
 Presbyterian in Christian faith and Whig or Republican 
 in politics. Most of them have reared families trained in 
 all that goes to make good citizens. 
 
 "John Rice is the last of this large family. Born April 
 16, 1804, and dying February 5, 1898, he has lived to see 
 great changes in his state and country. His early educa- 
 tional advantages were very limited. Carpentering and 
 furniture making was his first business. In 1845 he built 
 a grist and saw mill at Corydon. It burned in 1859 and 
 Mr. Rice removed to New Albany where he successfully 
 conducted a milling business till 1861, when it was his 
 misfortune by reason of the war, to have confiscated $8,000 
 worth of flour which he had sh pped to Memphis and New 
 Orleans. In 1865 he went to Bloomington, remaining 
 there till 1871, when he removed to Crawfordsville, where 
 he has since resided. Here, for a number of years he 
 traded quite successfully in wheat and stock, but advancing 
 years and infirmities caused him to cease active business. 
 
 " In early manhood he made a profession of faith in Christ, 
 
HINSDALE GENEALodY 157 
 
 uniting with the Presbyterian church a1 Corydon. IK 
 
 was elected an elder in his church soon after his father's 
 
 death. In this capacity, as superintendent of the Sabbath 
 school and in many other ways he generously and sealously 
 
 Berved that church till his removal from Corydon in ls.">s. 
 For years he was identified with the growing interests of 
 the town and so strongly and tenderly was he attached to 
 it that only since the death of his wife, in 1894, had he 
 relinquished the desire that his final resting place should 
 he in that village cemetery, on the hill, overlooking the town 
 where sleep very many of the loved kindred and friends of 
 his youth and earlier manhood. Wherever he resided he 
 became a member of the Presbyterian church of that place 
 Center church was his church home at Grawfordsville. 
 
 "Mr Rice was twice married — June 29, 1829, to Miss 
 Sophia Hinsdale of Hinesburg, Vermont, an educated New 
 England woman of great strength of character, who came 
 to Indiana in 1S27 through the influence of a married 
 sister who had preceded her as a pioneer resident. Miss 
 Hinsdale expected to engage in teaching, and did for a 
 time. Among the choicest treasures of her oldest living 
 daughter is a letter, paper yellow with age, ink faded, 
 folded so as to make its own envelope, the had-been seal a 
 red wafer, postage, 10 cents. This letter, written early in 
 1829, was from Rev. Dr. Crowe, then president of Hanover 
 college, asking Miss Hinsdale to take charge of a young 
 ladies school, 'Our Daughters.' Instead of accepting 
 this offer she became the wife of John Rice, and Corydon, 
 Ind., their permanent home, and in the brick house built 
 by Henry Rice. September 1-4, 1846, at the early age of 
 43 years she died, leaving five children, four of whom still 
 live: Mrs. Mary E. Truax and Mrs. R. E. Bryant of 
 Crawfordsville ; Mrs. Annie L. Ryors of Linn, Mo., and 
 T. F. Rice of Chicago. 
 
 "February 10, 1S49, he married Miss Nancy Baldwin of 
 Louisville, Ky., a most estimable and capable woman, who 
 filled faithfully and conscientiously the place of mother to 
 Mr. Rice's five children. She died January 22, 1894, 
 leaving three children: Mrs. Ruth R. Kenton of Spring- 
 field, Mo.; Jno. B. Rice of Crawfordsville and Mrs. Ilattie 
 E. Kent of Topeka, Kan. 
 
158 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 "In politics Mr. Rice was always Whig or Republican, 
 and often referred with pride to the fact that he voted at 
 every presidential election from 1828 and for the candidate 
 representing his party. 
 
 "But his earthly life has ended. Comparatively speak- 
 ing it has been silent and unheralded. Few friends of his 
 youth remain, but he has joined a large company that has 
 preceded him to that 
 
 'land of pure delight 
 Where saints immortal reign.'

 some benevolent and charitable work. She was the 
 friend of the orphan and did much for the relief of the poor 
 of the city of Detroit, and many of that city have reason 
 to bless her memory. It may be said of her, "she hath 
 done what she could," and that was much. She did good 
 for its own sake, not caring that her works be known and 
 shrinking from all publicity, a rare example of a sincere 
 Christian. Mr. Walker was a prominent lawyer of De- 
 troit, and professor and lecturer in the Law Department of 
 the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, a man widely 
 known and honored for his profound legal learning. He 
 was a useful and beloved citizen, known and admired

 No. 300 
 

HINSDALE GENEALOGY 161 
 
 Doctor of Divinity, a profound Boholar, a Baptist Minister, 
 
 and for nearly twenty-live years Presidenl of Kalamazoo 
 
 College, an institution of Learning conducted under the 
 
 auspices of the l'.apti>t Society. He w a - a good man, a 
 
 sincere Christian and an excellenl instructor. Heat < me time 
 had the misfortune to be maligned and Blandered by cer- 
 
 tain persons, who were nominally <>f his <>wn religious faith, 
 
 but who were in truth unworthy to bear the title of men, 
 not to say Christians. However, such attacks only added 
 
 lustre to his character which could not be truthfully assailed. 
 Mrs. Stone was in many respects, a remarkable woman. 
 Her long life from the time she was fifteen years of age, 
 was devoted to study, teaching, writing, lecturing, and by 
 all means in her power, to instructing and elevating her sex 
 in the higher branches of learning, thought and literature. 
 In this her efforts were constant and untiring and the re- 
 sults of her labors are widely known and lovingly recog- 
 nized by multitudes of women, not of Michigan alone, but 
 of other states, to whom she has imparted some share of 
 her earnestness and enthusiasm, and love for the best 
 things in literature and the arts. She has made many 
 visits to different countries of Europe, each time taking 
 young ladies with her, for their instruction as well as plea- 
 sure. When fifteen years of age she first taught in a sum- 
 mer district school. Her next work as a teacher was in 
 the Female Seminary at Middlebury, Vt. Afterward she 
 taught in the Burlington Female Seminary. Both of these 
 institutions had distinguished reputations, and were con- 
 sidered second only to the Troy Female Seminary, at the 
 head of which was the famous Emma Willard, who was 
 her relative. From this school she was invited to become 
 teacher in a private family who resided near Natchez, Miss., 
 where she continued for three years in the family of a 
 planter. The head of the house was a wealthy slave 
 owner, and here, under the most favorable circumstances 
 under which the institution could be seen, she studied the 
 subject of slavery in all its aspects. This was many y< 
 before the Civil War. From her own observations and 
 experiences in those ante-bellum days, she formed the 
 opinion that slavery was, from its primary principles, 
 utterly wrong, and she became an earnest abolition i-t. 
 
162 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 She was for many years the principal of the Ladies' Depart- 
 ment of Kalamazoo College, of which institution her hus- 
 band was the president. She was preeminently a club 
 woman, and was lovingly called "the Mother of Clubs." 
 The first club which she established was the "Ladies' 
 Library Club" of Kalamazoo. This was the first ladies' 
 club in all the west, and was second only in date of estab- 
 lishment to the Sorosis of New York City and the New 
 England Woman's Club of Boston. Nearly every club in 
 Michigan has been an outgrowth of the Ladies' Library 
 Club of Kalamazoo. The title of Ph. D. was conferred 
 upon her several years ago by the University of Michigan, 
 and she was the first woman to receive this honor from 
 that institution. She was the Honorary President of the 
 Michigan Woman's Press Association. She also occupied 
 the same position in the State Federation of Woman's 
 Clubs. She was also President of the Twentieth Century 
 Club. She was at her death and long before, the best 
 known woman in Michigan. Though entering life when 
 the "new woman" was as yet undreamed of, she grew 
 with the years until she became an edifying example of 
 what a woman may become. Her elevating influence was 
 widely felt upon the women of the state, and will long be 
 felt now that she has passed away. Thousands have rea- 
 son to bless her, and to hold her in lasting remembrance. 
 Where is the woman, or man, whose life has been better 
 lived than that of this gifted, large-souled, enthusiastic 
 wife, mother, teacher, traveller, lecturer, writer and 
 philanthropist? 
 
 From Denver (Colo.) Post, March 16, 1900. 
 
 A Great Woman and Her Work. 
 
 "A telegram lay on the table before Sanford C.Hinsdale, 
 United States Commissioner, in the Federal building. It 
 announced briefly the death of Lucinda Hinsdale Stone, 
 aged 86 years, at Kalamazoo, Mich., last Wednesday. 
 
 Mrs. Stone was called "The mother of woman's clubs." 
 With Julia Ward Howe she was an honorary vice president 
 of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs and through- 
 out the country was recognized as a staunch supporter of 
 organizations for the advancement of her sex. But the 
 
HINSDALK CKNKAI.ntiY 163 
 
 reason Commissioner Hinsdale was so deeply grieved was 
 that Mrs. Stone was hiscoushl and it was in her house at 
 Km la nia zoo, Mich., that he lived when attending Kalamazoo 
 College, from which institution he was graduated. For 
 aearly half a century the affectionate friendship has con- 
 continued; it was only a few weeks ago that she wrote 
 him her last letter. 
 
 Mr. Hinsdale's reminiscences of the famous Michigan 
 club woman, are interesting, "Probably the name of no 
 woman," he said, "has become so much of a household 
 word, loved by old and young alike. Not only was she 
 a thinker and writer, but a friend and woman in the truest 
 and best sense of the words. 
 
 "The title of Ph. D. was conferred upon her several 
 years ago by the University of Michigan, and she had the 
 honor to be the first woman to whom the title was given 
 by that institution. It is no exaggeration to say she was 
 the best known of Michigan women. She was born in 
 Hinesburg, Vt., September 30, 1814. The town is situated 
 about half way between the University of Vermont in 
 Burlington and Middlebury college. Undoubtedly, as 
 Mrs. Stone always thought, the early proximity to these 
 two institutions of learning had a great influence on her 
 after life. After childhood days in the district school 
 Mrs. Stone attended the ladies' seminaries, one at Middle- 
 bury and the other at Burlington. Her religious teaching 
 was of the strongest New England orthodoxy. As she has 
 often said, Sunday began with the going down of the sun 
 Saturday evening and continued until sunset Sunday night, 
 after which it was the evening for visiting and receiving 
 company. Sunday saw no work done, even the beds were 
 left untouched, and the dinner was always cold. But 
 Sunday evening, after the sun set, saw a good warm sup- 
 per. And the preaching was more of the law than of the 
 gospel. 
 
 "In those days in Vermont there were not many amuse- 
 ments. In winter there were sleighing parties and oyster 
 suppers. Dancing parties were few and far between. 
 One of the painful reminiscences of Mrs. Stone's life had 
 to do with the tlireatened exclusion of her older sister, 
 Mary Hinsdale, afterwards Mrs. C. L. Walker of Detroit, 
 
164 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 from the Congregational church of Hinesburg, because 
 Mary Hinsdale had gone to a ball as an onlooker. She did 
 not dance, but the fact that she was there was matter 
 enough for the church to single her out for discipline. The 
 only thing that saved her was her obedience to the demand 
 to write a public confession, which was read in church to 
 the horror-struck congregation by the minister. 
 
 "The first young men's library and lyceum that Mrs. 
 Stone ever heard of was located in Hinesburg. To her 
 mind the young people of those days were more staid, more 
 deep, than those of the present. They were not frivolous ; 
 in Hinesburg they were interested in matters of the great 
 world throbbing around them. Mrs. Stone — Lucinda 
 Hinsdale — pursued the studies of Latin and Greek and 
 mathematics with young men who were fitting themselves 
 for college, although in those days women were not per- 
 mitted in colleges. When 15 years of age she first taught 
 in a summer district school. She next taught in the fe- 
 male seminary at Middlebury, and in the Burlington 
 Female seminary. These two institutions had far-reach- 
 ing reputations and were considered second only in excel- 
 lence to the Troy Female Seminary, at the head of 
 which was the famous Miss Emma Willard, a relative of 
 Mrs. Stone. Then she went South — to Natchez, Miss., 
 where she taught in the family of a wealthy planter. Her 
 Northern education had made her a strong abolitionist, 
 although this was some years before the war, and Miss Hins- 
 dale came North, rejoining some members of her family 
 residing at Grand Rapids, Mich. There she was married 
 June 10, 1840, to Rev. J. A. B. Stone, pastor of the Bap- 
 tist church in Gloucester, Mass. After three years' resi- 
 dence in Gloucester, Mr. Stone was called to fill a profes- 
 sorship in the theological seminary in Newton, Mass. 
 This call was followed by one to take charge of a branch 
 school of the University of Michigan, at Kalamazoo. The 
 institution grew into Kalamazoo college and had Dr. Stone 
 as president for twenty years. Mrs. Stone was principal 
 of the ladies' department. After resigning from the college 
 she conducted a private school, and for several years took 
 classes of young women on trips abroad to pursue historical 
 and art studies. 
 
Hinsdale <;i-:.\i;ai.<h;y n;r, 
 
 "It was in Kalamazoo that her club liegan. She estab- 
 lished the first club in all the V7es1 the Ladies' Library 
 
 Club of Kalamazoo, which wa- BOCOnd Only in date of 
 establishment U) the Sorosifl of New York City and the 
 
 New England Woman's club of Huston. It is an interest- 
 ing fad in this connection that nearly every club in Michi- 
 gan is an outgrowth of the original Ladies' Library club. 
 The Ladies' Literary club of * irand Kapids is an outgrowth 
 of literary classes conducted by Mrs. Stone in that city. 
 She had classes in Detroit, Jackson, Coklwater, and other 
 cities, and in every place women's clubs have followed her 
 classes. 
 
 "Thirty years ago .Mrs. Stone wrote 'Western Side,' a 
 book of Western pioneer life. She was also a liberal con- 
 tributor to magazines, discussing with a splendid pen, 
 travel, public issues and the great moral and social ques- 
 tions of the day. She has known and entertained bril- 
 liant men, and it was one of the most pleasant of her recol- 
 lections to recall the visit paid her by Ralph Waldo Emer- 
 son at Kalamazoo, when Emerson was lecturing in 'the 
 West.' Some one asked him what inducement the tour 
 held out. 
 
 •"lam after f-a-m-e,' slowly spelled the philosopher. 
 
 " 'Fame?' questioned the acquaintance. 
 
 " 'No/ replied Emerson, 'fifty and my expenses.' 
 
 "Mrs. Stone was a 'new' woman," concluded Commis- 
 sioner Hinsdale, "the best type of the woman of today. 
 Her influence is gone, but her works will live. She was a 
 potent factor in the great evolution of woman, and the 
 future will see her name revered even more than it is to- 
 day, wherever her work is known." 
 
 From the Kalamazoo (Mich.) Telegraph, March 14 : 1900: 
 
 "Mrs. Lucinda Hinsdale Stone, Ph. D., passed peace- 
 fully away at about 9:30 this morning at her home, 114 
 East Lovell street. Death came to close a long, eventful 
 and in many ways a remarkable life. It would almost 
 seem as though death resulted from a gradual breaking 
 down and from the pressure of increased years rather than 
 from disease. Her mind had been very clear until about 
 2 o'clock this morning when unconsciousness took place. 
 
166 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 The end was so peaceful that those near scarcely knew 
 when the soul slipped away from its mortal habitation. 
 Mrs. Stone's son, James Helm Stone of Detroit, his wife 
 and children, attended Mrs. Stone as did also her son's 
 wife, Mrs. Clement Stone of Ann Arbor. 
 
 A member of the family said to The Telegraph that 
 about 10 o'clock Tuesday evening the Rev. Caroline Bart- 
 lett Crane recited to Mrs. Stone Tennyson's "Crossing the 
 Bar," Whittier's "Eternal Goodness," and a hymn by 
 David Wasson which she had previously requested Mrs. 
 Bratlett Crane to have sung at her funeral. She also 
 recited New Testament passages and sentences from 
 Emerson, and from Browning's "Rabbi Ben Ezra." Mrs. 
 Stone indicated her comprehension. 
 
 The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at 
 the People's church. A letter was found addressed to the 
 Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane, giving directions for the 
 fimeral services and other matters connected with her 
 death. Owing to ill health the former is unable to officiate 
 and the service will be conducted by the Rev. Ernest C. 
 Smith, minister of the People's church. Mrs. Stone's 
 wishes will be followed in every particular. Interment 
 will be by the side of her husband, the Rev. J. A. B. Stone, 
 D. D., and her two sons, Clement W. and Horatio H., at 
 Mountain Home. 
 
 Mrs. Lucinda Hinsdale Stone was born in Hinesburg, Vt., 
 September 30, 1814. This place, although small, was the 
 seat of one of the best New England academies. The 
 town is located about half way between the University of 
 Vermont in Burlington and Middlebury college. Mrs. 
 Stone believed that proximity to these institutions of 
 learning had great influence on her later life. After leaving 
 the academy Mrs. Stone attended ladies' seminaries at 
 Middlebury and at Burlington. The influence from a 
 religious standpoint on the mind of the child, Lucinda 
 Hinsdale, was of the strongest New England orthodoxy. 
 As the years passed by Mrs. Stone's exceptional mind 
 expanded in many ways and more liberal thought came to 
 be hers. She was a thinker along religious lines rather 
 than one who accepted creeds without personal investiga- 
 tion. During a long life Mrs. Stone had been identified 
 
BINSDALE GENEALOGY 107 
 
 witli various churches, for many years with the I'ir.-t Bap- 
 tist church; later a member of the First [Jnitaxiaja church, 
 ami then of the People's church. With advancing yean 
 
 and as more liberal thought became a part of her very life 
 Mrs. stone had the courage of her convictions and always 
 identified herself with the religious movements which mos1 
 exemplified in their teachings the creed of her own heart. 
 
 One of the parlors of the People's church is named the Stone 
 parlor in memory of her whom this article would honor. 
 Anent her early education it may be said that Mrs. 
 Stone dug Greek roots, pursued Latin stems and wrestled 
 with the stupendous problems of mathematics with the 
 young men who were preparing for college, although it 
 must be remembered that in those days young women 
 were not permitted in the colleges. Three of the principal 
 places wdiere Mrs. Stone received early education were at 
 Hinesburg academy, in Mrs. Cook's female seminary at 
 Middlebury, and in the Burlington female seminary, in 
 all of which institutions she afterwards taught. 
 
 As a Teacher 
 
 Much of the influence of the life of Lucinda Stone may 
 be said to have been that of the noble art of teaching. 
 When but 15 years of age she first taught in a summer 
 district school. Her next work was in the female semi- 
 nary in Middlebury, an institution second only to the 
 Troy female seminary, at the head of which was the famous 
 Miss Emma Willard, who was a relative of Mrs. Stone. 
 The subject of this sketch was later a private instructor 
 for three years in the family of a planter near Natchez, 
 Miss. The father of the family was a wealthy slave owner 
 and it was here that Mrs. Stone studied for several years 
 prior to the civil war, the institution of slavery in all its 
 varying vicissitudes. Surrounded by the influence of a 
 southern plantation in the ante-bellum days the young 
 teacher from the north thoroughly l>elieved that from its 
 primary principles slavery was wrong. An earnest aboli- 
 tionist, she yet found much in southern life to admire and 
 her friendship for this old southern family has been to her 
 always a pleasure. While living there Mrs. Stone fre- 
 quently met Miss Yarina Howell, later Mrs. Jefferson Davis 
 
168 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 Miss Howell resided on a neighboring plantation and was 
 a frequent guest at the Helm mansion. 
 
 On coming north Mrs. Stone first went to Grand Rapids, 
 Mich., to reside, as several members of her family lived in 
 that place. It was there that she was married June 10, 
 1840, to the Rev. J. A. B. Stone, D. D., who at that time 
 was pastor of the Baptist church at Gloucester, Mass. 
 After a residence there of three years Mr. Stone was called 
 to a professorship in the theological seminary in Newton, 
 Mass., while the incumbent of a chair was away. 
 
 Came to Kalamazoo 
 
 In 1843, Prof, and Mrs. Stone came to Kalamazoo to 
 take charge of a school known now as the "Old Branch," 
 at that time connected with the University of Michigan. 
 This institution later became Kalamazoo college and Dr. 
 Stone was its president for about 20 years. Mrs. Stone 
 was principal of the ladies' department. On the resigna- 
 tion of Dr. and Mrs. Stone from this institution Mrs. Stone 
 established a private school and built a home for that pur- 
 pose on Mount Carmel — the location of the home years 
 afterwards occupied by the lamented C. R. Bates and 
 later by Senator F. B. Stockbridge, later deceased. The 
 school was continued for about five or six years, after which 
 Mrs. Stone frequently took classes of young women to 
 Europe for the study of history and art, and of this 
 method of pursuing the higher culture this educator 
 proved herself almost the founder. 
 
 In 1885, September 23 and 24, there was a reunion of 
 former pupils of Dr. and Mrs. Stone. Ladies and gentle- 
 men came from many states and there was great rejoicing. 
 As teacher and foreign traveler Mrs. Stone has accom- 
 plished much. Still greater has been her influence in the 
 line of the larger culture. Familiar with the writings of all 
 ages and all countries she possessed the power of imparting 
 to others much of their meaning to her. It is not too much 
 to say that she was a woman of the highest culture and that 
 no literary work was too abstruse for her comprehension. 
 
 The Mother of Clubs 
 The memory of Lucinda Hinsdale Stone, Ph. D., will be 
 perpetuated in history as "The Mother of Clubs." The 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 169 
 
 New England Woman's Clllb Of BoBtOO was the fir-t 
 
 woman's literary olub in the United States. The Ladies' 
 Literary Club of ECalamasoo was the first in Michigan and 
 the second in date of establishment in the United Btates, 
 She once wrote: "The Ladies' Literary Club was the first 
 
 one formed in town and really tin- first woman's club 
 that I know of anywhere unless it was a similar club thai 
 was formed in the town of Flint, in this state The 
 Ladies' Literary Club was formed by a few ladies in Kah- 
 mazoo in L852, though it was not called a chili, bul an 
 association, for some year-: the object was for self- improve- 
 ment. It was conducted in all respect- almosl precisely 
 as it is now, and as it was when it took the name of club 
 twenty years after, and after the Sorosis and the New 
 England Woman's Club were formed." 
 
 It has been claimed that nearly every woman's club in 
 Michigan is the outgrowth of the Kalamazoo Club. 
 
 In 1891 for the purpose of preparatory study for the 
 world's fair, Mrs. Stone established the Isabella Club of Kala- 
 mazoo from which developed the Twentieth Century Club 
 of which she was president at the time of her death and of 
 which Mrs. W. D. Upjohn is the efficient vice-president. 
 Mrs. Upjohn in every way has relieved Mrs. Stone and 
 assumed for her the duties of this important office. Some 
 years ago Mrs. Stone established the Douglas Club of 
 Kalamazoo. This was for colored people, in whom she had 
 always taken the most active interest. She at one time 
 conducted literary classes in Grand Rapids and the out- 
 growth of these is now one of the most powerful woman's 
 clubs in Michigan — The Ladies' Literary Club, whose 
 meetings are held in their beautiful club house. In many 
 of the towns and cities of Michigan Mrs. Stone has taught 
 classes and among them are Grand Rapids, Jackson, Bay 
 City, Dowagiac, Coldwater, Saginaw, Port Huron, St. 
 Clair, Alpena, Adrian, Monroe, Hillsdale, Lansing, Char- 
 lotte, Jackson, Detroit, Eaton Rapids, Flint. Dearborn and 
 Battle Creek. Clubs for women have followed these 
 classes. 
 
 Mrs. Stone's great work of training hundreds and thou- 
 sands of young women in literary lines throughout the 
 state was recognized by the University of Michigan in 1S91 
 
170 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 when that Institution conferred upon her the degree of 
 Ph. D. Mrs. Stone was the first woman to be thus honored 
 by the U. of M. A large portrait of her which was pur- 
 chased by various women's clubs of Michigan hangs in the 
 art gallery at the University. The picture is an enlarged 
 photograph which hung in the parlor of the Michigan build- 
 ing at the world's fair, Chicago. She has been hono"ary 
 member of more than fifty western clubs which have fol- 
 lowed the first club organized by her and was the honorary 
 president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. 
 Among the clubs of Michigan in which Mrs. Stone was an 
 honorary member was the Ladies' Literary Club of Men- 
 don. A few months ago she wrote to Mrs. Alex Custard of 
 Mendon a letter, which closed with these words: "My 
 dear friend, we have to get near the end of life before we 
 can realize truly what life is." Mrs. Stone throughout a 
 long literary life displayed prodigious industry, study and 
 a wonderful versatility. When over 70 years of age she 
 took up the study of Spanish. 
 
 As a Writer 
 Not only as a student, thinker, teacher and organizer, 
 will her name be remembered through the years, but as a 
 writer she has enshrined the personality of her thought. 
 The conditions and experiences of early days in the west 
 have been conserved by Mrs. Stone in her book, "Western 
 Side." She composed its pages half a century ago amid 
 the many duties of her remarkably busy life. The beauty 
 of her thought and language has been preserved in maga- 
 zines. Grand as is the mission of a good book, a thoughtful 
 article in a magazine, there is yet another field for the pen 
 which reaches thousands upon thousands of readers every 
 day and evening. The press is the six-day pulpit, and 
 from the press, the pinnacle of plain literature, has Mrs. 
 Stone reached hundreds of thousands of readers. Social 
 and moral issues have been freely discussed in the columns 
 of the newspapers by Mrs. Stone. Among the many news- 
 papers in which her articles have appeared is the Kalama- 
 zoo Telegraph, which has from time to time published 
 many interesting columns from her pen. Mrs. Stone's 
 letters of travel in foreign countries have been published 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 171 
 
 in many newspapers and arc very comprehensive. The 
 
 style is strong and the diction pure. Mrs. Stone's zeal 
 for truth and progress was remarkable in its strength. 
 For years Mrs. Stone had been the honorary president of 
 the Michigan Woman's Press Association. The literary 
 work of Mrs. Stom- was continued almosi a1 the close of 
 life. Among the last articles from her pen was a contribu- 
 tion to the Twentieth CcntuiVClub regarding the daughter 
 of the Scotch poet. Robert Burns. 
 
 Coterie of Friends 
 
 Few women in this century have had closer acquaint- 
 ance with a larger number of men and women distin- 
 guished in public life than Mrs. Stone. She had intimate 
 association with anti-slavery leaders, among whom were 
 William Lloyd Garrison, Lydia Maria Childs, Parker 
 Pillsbury, and Frederick Douglass. She was a most earn- 
 est colleague of those recognized great reformers — Mrs. 
 Julia Ward Howe, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone 
 Blackwell and Susan B. Anthony. In Mrs. Stone's home 
 have been entertained a number of these distinguished men 
 and women. She not only knew personally many public 
 people but kept herself in close touch with their work. 
 Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mrs. Stone were close friends 
 and with this foremost American she corresponded for 
 years. Emerson gave her earnest letters of introduction 
 to some of his literary friends in Europe — Mrs. Gaskell 
 and Miss Muloch. Then there was Bronson Alcott, a great 
 follower of Emerson, who visited Dr. and Mrs. Stone a 
 week at a time and in whose home Mrs. Stone was also a 
 guest. Admiral Dewey in his younger days was a friend 
 — met on one of her sojourns in Greece. 
 
 Mrs. Stone's large mental activity commenced when the 
 "new" woman was not yet heard of, but with rareness and 
 richness of a wonderful mentality there was withal a sweet 
 simplicity of nature, a charming refinement, and all of 
 true womanliness. With a remarkable intellect she was 
 not less the true mother. Engaged in study, in teaching, 
 in writing, in organizing clubs and in the general promul- 
 gation of knowledge, this woman has been the mother of 
 three children — Clement, deceased, of Aim Arbor; Hor- 
 
172 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 atio, deceased, of Kalamazoo; and James H. Stone, of 
 Detroit, the three of whom were one time owners of the 
 Kalamazoo Telegraph. Of Mrs. Stone's son James H., it 
 it may be said that he is senior member of one of the 
 largest printing houses in Detroit. In 1874 he went to 
 Port Huron as publisher of the Times. In 1878 he assumed 
 the management of the Post and Tribune, Detroit, now the 
 Tribune. Later he became owner of that paper, which 
 he finally sold. Mr. Stone has also been collector of in- 
 ternal revenue at Detroit and is now publishing many of 
 the periodicals issued in that city. 
 
 Rest has come to this Kalamazoo woman of whom all 
 are justly proud. Living, she belonged not alone to those 
 of her own kin, for hers was an activity which touched 
 the lives of every woman in this city. Entered upon that 
 journey "from whose bourne no traveler returns," and into 
 the rest eternal, the memory of her life that seemed touched 
 with a fire divine, belongs not alone to her lineal descend- 
 ants who bear her name, but to the. people of this city, who 
 rejoice that her home was in Kalamazoo. Her life is en- 
 shrined the deepest in the hearts of those who knew her 
 best and who were permitted to call her friend. Years 
 will never be so many that her name, her deeds, her life, 
 will be forgotten in Kalamazoo, in Michigan, and in many 
 parts of the United States. Even those of foreign lands 
 will call her blessed. All honor be to her sacred memory. 
 May the years of the Great Beyond be lovely throughout 
 eternity to our friend — the woman so loved — Mrs. 
 Lucinda Hinsdale Stone, Doctor of Philosophy. 
 
 Mrs. Stone's lineal descendants have been as follows: 
 Clement, deceased; his children, Dr. C. P. Stone, a den- 
 tist practicing at Saginaw; Miss Carrie Lucile Stone, a 
 student at the U. of M. ; Horatio, Mrs. Stone's son who died 
 in 1870 unmarried. A son, James H. Stone of Detroit, 
 whose children are Webster, Lucile and Blinn, all of De- 
 troit." 
 
 From "The Chicago Evening Post," January 5, 1906: 
 
 "The Michigan federation has raised $5,000 for the Lu- 
 cinda Hinsdale Stone memorial scholarship fund. Mrs. 
 Stone was the pioneer club worker in Michigan."

 ceived a pension in 1832. He resided for twenty years 
 after the war at Goshen, Massachusetts, and represented

 April 28, 1880, daughter of William and Polly Eyles of 
 Litchfield, Conn. About four months prior to his death, 
 which occurred at the age of 73 years, he compiled a brief 
 account of his branch of the Hinsdale Family, which was 
 published at Cleveland, O., in 1883. The following is on 
 the title page: "Chronicles of the Hinsdale Family. Com- 
 piled by Albert Hinsdale in the seventy-third year of his 
 age, to be continued by those who come after him." This 
 is a pamphlet of 31 pages. A supplement is added by his 
 son, Professor Burke A. Hinsdale of Ann Arbor, Mich. 
 To this compilation we are indebted for an account of this 
 branch of the family and the author's early experiences 
 and hardships in the wilds of Ohio in early days. He was 
 a pioneer in the Western Reserve of Ohio, and one of the 
 very best types of those who laid the foundations of a 
 highly intelligent and thrifty community. 
 
 AUTOBIOGRAPHY. 
 1. Childhood. The first account that I have of 
 myself is that on the ISth day of July, 1809, in a great rain 
 and flood, I appeared upon the stage of action at Torring- 
 ton, Conn. It was said that I drew ten pounds at my 
 birth. From that time until I was six weeks old I have no 
 knowledge of myself. History says that at that period of 
 
184 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 my existence I took the whooping-cough, of which I liked to 
 have died. The first of my recollections is going to Grand- 
 father Hinsdale's funeral, in Canaan, in Priest Gillett's 
 hack. I have since heard one who was there say that 
 there were present six of his sons, all large men. I recol- 
 lect afterwards going to Granby and seeing Grandfather 
 Holcomb with a great cancer on his breast. I remember 
 having the measles in the same bed with mother. Then 
 I remember, when I got to be a little boy, catching, with 
 hook and line, speckled trout, redfins, and shiners, and of 
 seeing eels which looked like snakes in the water. I also 
 recollect going with Asenath a mile and a half to a school 
 all summer and did not read once ; but once I got asleep on 
 a bench and hurt myself. I afterwards learned to read, 
 and Saturdays in the afternoons we used to be catechised 
 and have a kind of meeting which I used to dread. About 
 all that I learned was that "man's chief end is to glorify 
 God and enjoy Him forever." That is true yet, and that 
 is about all that was of any consequence. Then we used 
 to go a mile further to meeting (to Torrington Green) to 
 hear old Priest Gillett (as he was familiarly called) preach, 
 stuck up in a high pulpit. There never was a fire in that 
 house and why people did not freeze to death I can't tell. 
 There were two meetings, and at intermissions we used to 
 go to the neighboring houses to warm and eat our dinner, 
 just as children did at school. 
 
 2. Journey to Ohio. We started from Torrington 
 to New Connecticut the 4th of October, 1816, the me- 
 morable cold season, when there was said to be frost every 
 month in the year, which was attributed to the unusually 
 large spots on the sun. Consequently provisions and 
 forage were high; oats and corn were one dollar a bushel, 
 and other things in proportion, which made expensive 
 traveling. Our team was two stout yoke of oxen, which 
 never failed. When we started there were folks enough 
 there to make a little funeral. I started with a good deal 
 of resolution, on foot, and came most of the way, sleeping 
 at night between Julius and Sherman in the top of the 
 wagon. We crossed the North River at Albany, in a 
 horse-boat; we there saw one of the first steam-boats that 
 played on American waters start from her dock for New- 
 
IIIXSDALE GENEALOGY 185 
 
 York. We crossed the Genesee on a boat propelled by a 
 rope, and Cayuga lake on an open bridge hall B mile 1 « ) 1 1 lt . 
 At the same time there were on the bridge several road- 
 wagons, one drawn by a team of nine horn-.-; these wagons 
 then did the busineefl that is now done by the Erie Canal 
 and the New fork Central Railroad. We Came through 
 
 the village of Buffalo, which had not recovered from the 
 effects of the British raid and fire. We were one whole 
 day in crossing the Cattaraugus Four Mile Wood. As we 
 came up the lake the road ran much of the way on the 
 beach. In driving round one point of rocks the water was 
 was so high that it washed away our tar-bucket, which 
 hung to the hind axle-tree. We arrived in Braceville, 
 Trumbull County, December 2, having been eight weeks 
 on the road, and where we staid over winter. Here were 
 people whom father had known in Canaan, and here I 
 went to school to Joe D. Humphrey, from Goshen, Conn., 
 who afterwards came to Norton. In the winter father and 
 Julius made our necessary furniture, and Julius went to 
 Buffalo in a sleigh to get father's tools and some freight 
 that failed to get up the lake in the fall. In April they 
 went to Norton, and selected land that had been bought 
 of Reuben Rockwell, of Winchester, Conn. They cleared 
 about five acres, planted it with corn and potatoes and 
 sowed a few oats; but it was so late that these crops did 
 not ripen well. They built a house, which was said to be 
 the best in town, for the logs were butted off and were 
 hewn on the inside. 
 
 3. In the Woods. In June, 1817, Elisha came 
 from Hudson to help us move, Julius remaining in Norton 
 to have things in good order. We were a week on the 
 road. Our house had no chamber-floor, no chimney, nor 
 was it chinked. I remember being out in the dark the 
 first night, and the light of the fire inside made me think 
 of a tin lantern. We did not live very well for the first 
 two years, but we always had something to eat. Mother 
 used to say that she had the same reason to be thankful 
 that the wife of the Shepherd of Salisbury Plain had, for 
 she always had salt. She said that she kept us on green 
 corn six weeks. We soon had a good cow. Jointed corn 
 and milk did pretty well for supper, but I never liked 
 
186 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 potatoes and milk. For fruit we had mandrakes, pump- 
 kins, and crab apples. Before winter our house was 
 chinked and daubed; we had a good puncheon floor over- 
 head, a stick chimney from the floor up, planed doors and 
 glass windows (the glass brought from Connecticut). The 
 next two years I did not have to go to school for there was 
 none to go to; so I ran in the woods and did pretty well. 
 After that I lived with Col. Woodruff, in Charlestown, 
 Portage County, and went to school for two terms. By 
 this time I had got to be so big that I would do to use, so 
 I worked some, caught chipmunks in traps, scared away 
 the blackbirds when they pulled the corn, guarded the 
 sheep so the wolves would not get them, hunted the cows 
 in the woods, led by the tinkling bell. I worked summers 
 and went to school winters until I was eighteen years old, 
 when I thought that I had learning enough; then I grad- 
 uated at Bates's Corners, from a school taught by one — , 
 who was the best teacher that I ever had, but he would 
 get drunk. I could read, write and cipher. 
 
 Time crowded me onto manhood before I was aware of 
 it, having passed through that interesting period of a boy's 
 life when his trousers' legs get too short, when he does not 
 not know what to do with his hands, nor what to be, has 
 to shave without having any beard, and is neither a boy 
 nor a man. About this time my father died and I had to 
 meet the responsibilities of life ; how well God only knows. 
 
 4. Out op the Woods. The family soon broke up; 
 Asenath married; the little farm of sixty-seven acres was 
 divided; mother had seventeen acres; I had nine; besides 
 I had a yoke of steers and a colt. Mother and I lived 
 alone in the old house, only George lived with us a part of 
 the time. I built a barn on my land, and set an elm tree 
 before the house, that is now four feet through. I mar- 
 ried in January, 1834, in my twenty-fifth year, and found 
 that he who has a good wife has a treasure. Ellen was 
 born in October. Soon after this I made a trip to the West, 
 and went clear to the Maumee River on horse-back; slept 
 one night in the woods, and there heard the wolves howl 
 for the last time and saw the last wild deer that I ever saw. 
 I forded the Auglaize, the Miami of the Lakes. I liked 
 the land and was for buying there, but friends dissuaded 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY Is? 
 
 me from it. The ncxl Septeml>er I bought the land OH 
 which I now live, paying $12 an acre. Then- were twenty 
 acres of "girdling" on it. and the shell of a little bouse, 
 
 Which I moved before We went into it; it u:is drawn by 
 
 thirty yoke of oxen. We moved into the house in No- 
 vember (1835), and I was again in t lie woods. The first 
 night after moving the wind blew so that we wen- afraid 
 the trees would fall on the house; the next day I cut down 
 all the trees that were in reach of it. We now had :iL r ain 
 to suffer many of the privations of pioneer life. The land 
 was very heavily wooded, and the timber, besides what 
 was needed for fences and buildings, was of no value. I 
 have hauled saw logs six miles to the mill with an ox team. 
 The timber had to be cut and burned up, which made con- 
 siderable work; and then it was quite unpleasant to work 
 around the stumps and among the roots, but as these 
 great machines that cut and bind gram by horse power, 
 the mowing machines, sulky plows, patent cultivators, 
 etc., were then unknown, we got along very well. In 
 twelve years our farm was cleared up, our children had 
 increased to four, my brother George, my mother, and our 
 first-born had died. We had seen some hard service; and 
 Clarinda was clear overcome and broken down by the death 
 of Ellen, from which she never entirely recovered. 
 
 5. Conclusion. Forty years ago Clarinda and I made 
 a profession of religion and were baptized. Previous 
 to that my mind had been in doubt and in an unsettled 
 state, but I now found that godliness is profitable unto 
 all things, having promise of the life that now is and of the 
 life which is to come. We have seen all our grandchildren 
 of the proper age obey the Gospel. I have lived three 
 years of that period of life in which nothing is promised 
 but "labor and sorrow," and I find that I have not es- 
 caped the promise. But I am yet spared many of the 
 pains and infirmities incident to old age. My health is 
 good, am' not baldheaded or very gray. I stand 5 feet 10, 
 as erect as ever, and weigh 145 pounds. My weight lias 
 usually ranged from 150 to 170 pounds. I find that I am 
 not as strong or as active as I was fifty years ago. The last 
 harvest is the first one that I have not participated in for 
 sixty years. I am so deaf that I do not hear ordinary con- 
 
188 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 versation nor public speaking; consequently I am saved 
 from hearing much poor preaching and much nonsense. I 
 have never had a severe fit of sickness, and have been saved 
 from so many accidents that the wonder is that I have not 
 been killed. I once fell from a cherry tree and almost 
 broke my back; a few years ago I fell off the house and 
 almost killed myself; then a colt kicked out my teeth, and 
 I had more made that don't ache ; six years ago a horse 
 jumped on my leg and broke it, but I had it mended up 
 so that it is now a pretty good leg, though not so good as 
 it used to be. My rule of life has been not to work on a 
 strife, to eat what my appetite craved, if I could get it, and 
 to adapt my clothing to the weather. I have never used 
 tobacco in any form, and have abstained from spirituous 
 liquors for the last fifty years. For the last twenty-five 
 years I have been the only survivor of my father's family 
 of eight children. I have seen three generations of men, 
 and outlived most of my former associates. I have 
 seen wonderful changes wrought in the world, both in 
 the sciences and in the arts.. Within my recollection 
 have come into use the railroad and car, in place of 
 the ox-cart and rail causeway; also, the telegraph 
 and telephone, great improvements in the steam en- 
 gine, which now seems about to move the world, the 
 power-loom, and almost all of the implements of agricul- 
 tural husbandry but the axe and hoe, and these greatly 
 improved. I have seen the daguerreotype in all its forms, 
 and the discovery of petroleum, and remember that a few 
 years ago the world was lighted every night with tallow 
 candles. In short, there have been wonderful changes 
 wrought out in almost everything, not only in material 
 things but in manners and customs, in modes of doing 
 business and in thought. Solomon said there was "nothing 
 new under the sun;" verily it seems that I have seen some 
 things that had not before been. I have also seen the 
 dense forest that had stood for ages in all its solitary gran- 
 deur succumb to the little axe in the hands of the sturdy 
 pioneer, and give place to the fine farms and beautiful 
 landscapes we now see; the log cabin to the palatial man- 
 sion; the rude school-house to the spacious church, and 
 the imposing structures in which the young are taught.

 SUPPLEMENT TO AUTOBIOGRAPHY. 
 Albert Hinsdale lived to complete his seventy-third 
 year. After mother's death he continued to live on his 
 farm, and generally with the family of his youngest son. 
 All the last summer he was very active; he formed plans 
 for visiting some old friends in the fall. On the 1st of 
 July he wrote me: 
 
 "Last evening your letter came to hand; also, the Stand- 
 ard containing your obituary of James Xewcomb. Your 
 allusion to the white church brings afresh to my mind 
 many scenes enacted there. I am the only one that meets 
 there now of those who did in the olden time. * * * 
 My business is narrowed down to a small compass, but it 
 keeps me as busy as ever to keep things ship-shape. I 
 have to take things moderately or I get very tired. Every 
 step I take reminds me that I am on the verge of eternity, 
 and that I belong to the last generation. .My former 
 associates are all gone and I have but little company. The 
 babe is the most I have and the best; but I shall never 
 hear him talk. * * * I hope to see all here together 
 during vacation, but you are so busy probably I shall be 
 disappointed; don't neglect other duties for me." 
 
 Here it may be said that the writer with his family had 
 always been in the habit of visiting the Wadsworth home 
 each summer. When he received this Letter the annual 
 visit was in contemplation, and he expected, after a trip 
 to New England, to meet his father and brothers once more 
 
190 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 on the old familiar ground. But it was not to be. The 4th 
 of August father made his last trip to Akron, and on the 
 evening of that day he wrote the following, supposed to be 
 his last letter: 
 
 "Wadsworth, Aug. 4, '82. 
 "Dear Burke: I received yours of the 31st ult. yesterday. 
 
 W. B. left here this morning in company with . I took 
 
 them to the Center, and then went 'the overland route' to 
 Akron, by the old place. There is nothing about the Eyles 
 place that looks as it usedjx) look but the chimney. The 
 folks that used to live there are all gone. There is noth- 
 ing about our old place in Norton that looks natural but 
 the barn that I built in 1833. The elm tree that I set 
 four years before is now more than twelve feet around, and 
 the branches extend forty feet each way from the trunk. 
 I drank from the well, not from the old oaken bucket that 
 hung from the pole, but from a pump. I could hardly 
 drink, for something seemed to rise in my throat. I started 
 for Akron, and turned aroimd to view the 'Eastern ridge 
 of Ben Venue.' I cannot describe the thoughts that 
 crowded my brain while driving over that five miles of road. 
 On that ground had occurred some of the most important 
 incidents of my life, some in which I took an active part. Oh 
 how changed ! Like Job's servants, I alone am left to tell 
 the tale. The woods in which I hunted cattle are gone; 
 the three log school-houses where I got my education also. 
 It was a relief to me to get to Bates's Corners, where pre- 
 sent things are more familiar. Between Wadsworth Cen- 
 ter and Akron there are only three men that I knew in the 
 olden time. Sixty-seven years ago your mother was born 
 in a log cabin where Akron now stands, a city of 20,000 
 inhabitants. How everything has changed, myself among 
 the rest! I got myself some shoes * * * and got 
 back in good order. This is the most pleasant and most 
 homelike place that I have seen, and yet it don't seem just 
 like home." 
 
 "A. H." 
 
 The Wednesday night following this letter, August 9, 
 father was taken with a very severe attack of cholera mor- 
 bus. His children nursed him; the medical attendants 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY l'.u 
 
 taped their skill; but in vain. After some hours of un- 
 consciousness, he passed away a little after midnight of 
 August 14. The next day but one funeral services were 
 again held in the old house the house in which his brother, 
 his mother, his two daughters, and his wife had also died. 
 Neighbors and friends filled the house and overflowed upon 
 the porches and under the maple-. ( '. \V. Henry, of Stowe, 
 and Alanson Wilcox, of Cleveland, conducted the service. 
 This over, the long procession bore away the body to the 
 place appointed for all the living; he lies in the Wadsworth 
 cemetery beside his devoted wife and affectionate daugh- 
 ters. 
 
 Albert Hinsdale's life was a life more than ordi- 
 narily full of incident and vicissitude; his a character 
 of marked individuality. His frame was never heavy, but 
 strong and sinewy; and although he never "worked on 
 a strife," as he said, few men accomplished so much labor. 
 He was an excellent observer of men and things; he had 
 a keen insight into character, a cool temper and careful 
 balance in dealing with men, a power of analysis and de- 
 scription both quaint and picturesque, and a playful, 
 satirical humor. He was a good converser; he expressed 
 his view of men and things freely; and his ready and 
 keen judgments, put in words peculiarly his own, some- 
 times amused, sometimes nettled. He was a farmer both 
 by nature and by choice, and while he was in his full 
 strength no farm in all the country was better kept than 
 his. He was one of the first to take up the new agricul- 
 tural journals, when they began to appear thirty and 
 more years ago; and he was one of the first to exhibit 
 taste in farming and in fitting up his home. 
 
 Leaving Connecticut in 1S17. in his eighth year, growing 
 up to manhood in the forests of the Western Reserve, as 
 well as belonging to a family with whom the struggle for 
 existence and comfort was always keen and severe, his 
 school education was necessarily limited to the rudiments 
 of learning. For a man of such a life, he had more than 
 an ordinary taste for literature. But his real education 
 came from his intercourse with sky and forest, field and 
 fallow, nature and man. and from his own hard battle with 
 life. Nature gave him the power of literary creation, but 
 
192 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 nurture withheld the opportunity. Still the local news- 
 paper often bore witness to his quaintness of thought, his 
 closeness of observation, and his pictorial description. In 
 his sketch of his mother, he speaks of her tendency to dis- 
 content and to "borrow trouble;" the mental habit de- 
 scended to him. It is not indelicate to say that periods of 
 mental elevation, followed by periods of depression, did 
 much to derange his business, to disturb the even flow of 
 his life, and to bring unhappiness to himself and others. 
 All men respected him. He was a good man, just, honest, 
 and generous. The laborers who reaped down his fields 
 never cried for wages that were withheld. The poor never 
 said they were not warmed with the fleece of his sheep. 
 He often gave a poor man wages, not so much because he 
 needed the labor as because the poor man needed the bread. 
 For his time, surroundings, and abilities, he gave his chil- 
 dren unusual opportunities for education. Then all his 
 life he strove to build them up in integrity, in honor, and 
 in manliness — to give moral elevation to their lives. 
 His last days were serene and happy. His mental temper 
 as he neared his end is shown in his own sketch. I feel that 
 I cannot otherwise so fitly close this note as to give those 
 words again. 
 
 "Improvements will still go on. Although there are 
 bad men in the world and many things not as they should 
 be, still the world is evidently growing better and will con- 
 tinue to grow better. Yet I don't expect to witness many 
 more changes. It seems as though I had about survived 
 my usefulness, yet the world uses me well and I have many 
 blessings. But Clarinda is gone, the girls are gone, and 
 although the boys are left it seems lonely. When the good 
 Lord sees fit to take me hence, I trust in His goodness, 
 'for His mercy endureth forever.' " 
 
 Of his wife Albert Hinsdale writes as follows: "My 
 wife, Clarinda Elvira, was the daughter of William and 
 Polly Eyles, who came from Litchfield, Conn., to Ohio, in 
 1814. She was born July 12, 1815, on the site of what is 
 now the city of Akron, a part of which was her father's 
 farm. The family moved to Wadsworth in 1820, where 
 she always lived, except a short sojourn in Norton. She 
 inherited a large, well-developed figure, a strong and vigor- 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 193 
 
 ous constitution, of a nervous type; she had an irritable 
 
 stomach, and was quite BUbjecl 1" headache. Sin- v.;i- 
 
 \crv energetic, industrious, frugal, and orderly in her 
 habits, which made her a model housekeeper, she was a 
 .£<>o(l wife, particularly fond of her children, and it almosl 
 
 killed her to lose them. She was good to tlie DOOT, careful 
 
 of the sick, ever ready to advance the interests of the church 
 
 or any <jood enterprise. She was po.-se-n-d of ^<»<>d judg- 
 ment, very ready to make up her mind, which was not 
 easily turned, and very apt to carry out her purposes. She 
 was subject to neuralgia, and for the last few years of her 
 life to the sciatic rheumatism in the hip, which was ex- 
 tremely painful, and which, together with extreme ner- 
 vousness and consequent sleeplessness, wore her out. She 
 died from sheer exhaustion April 28, 1880."

 Captain Elizur Hinsdale and his third wife, Hannah 
 Johnson, born at Leroy, Genesee County, N. Y., Decem- 
 ber 4, 1831. 
 
 He was admitted to the bar at Buffalo, N. Y., in 1856, 
 and removed to New York City in 1861, where he has 
 practiced his profession since that date. He was for nine 
 years a member of the Committee on Political Reform of 
 the L T nion League Club, and when Whitelaw Reid was 
 
198 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 appointed Minister to France, he became chairman of that 
 Committee. He was elected for the ten year term to the 
 bench of the Court of Special Sessions, and is now President 
 of that court. 
 
 Judge Hinsdale, while engaged in an active practice of 
 his profession in the city of New York, found time to take 
 an active part in many public matters of great importance. 
 The system of registration of land transfer for that city 
 had broken down on account of the magnitude of the trans- 
 actions. He took a leading part in establishing the present 
 excellent system, that has worked well for about fifteen 
 years, and can never be clogged, no matter how large the 
 city may grow. 
 
 The system of new parks in the city was fiercely attacked 
 by the then mayor, backed by a powerful body of citi- 
 zens. Mr. Hinsdale espoused the cause of the parks, and 
 by his legal arguments and labors in that cause, contrib- 
 uted more to securing the parks than did any other one 
 person. These parks are now the pride of all the citizens 
 of the city. 
 
 While on the bench, Judge Hinsdale tried and convicted 
 the notorious anarchist, Herr Most, for an article pub- 
 lished in his paper, that he claimed was only a political 
 article. Most appealed to the highest court of the state, 
 where the decision was unanimously affirmed. Thus for 
 the first time was it settled in this country that imprison- 
 ment is the penalty for anarchist speaking and writing.

 wife and son Robert. He entered Amherst College in 1828, 
 and Yale in 1832. In 1835 he was a student at the Theo- 
 logical Seminary at Columbia, S. C. October 17, 1739, 
 seven days after his marriage, he and his wife embarked 
 for China as missionaries. In 1847 he returned to America 
 on account of his wife's health, and in 1848 became princi- 
 pal of the Academy in Rome, New York, which position he 
 resigned March 31, 1851. In the spring of 1851 he accepted 
 the pastorate of the Dutch Reformed Church in Owasco 
 Outlet, near Auburn, N. Y., where he worked eight years 
 as farmer, teacher and preacher. On May 7, 1859, being 
 then fifty years of age, he, with his wife and two daughters, 
 embarked from New York for Japan, as missionaries. 
 Returned to America in May, 1867, and then went to Japan 
 again in August, 1869. In 1879 he returned to America 
 for the last time, and died in June of the following year. He 
 was engaged for twenty years in learning the Japanese 
 language and translating the New Testament into that 
 tongue; a splendid monument of great labor, which he 
 lived to see accomplished. Few, if any, have done so 
 much for the uplifting of the Japanese people — a mis- 
 sionary of the very best type, beloved by all who knew him. 
 An extended account of him is given in "A Maker of the 
 New Orient," by William Eliot Griffis. 
 Samuel Robbins Brown and wife Elizabeth had two 
 daughters, one of whom, the eldest, is Mrs. Lowder, who 
 lives in Yokohama, Japan. They also had a son, Robert, 
 who died and was buried at Monson, Mass.

 the death of Mr. Rockwell in 1837, he was associated in the 
 same business (scythemaking) with Elliot Beardsley, under 
 the firm name of Hinsdale & Beardsley, until his death.

 tive ability; while as a citizen he was prominent and in_ 
 fluential in advocating every good cause, and leading 
 others by his activity and ardor. Gifted with a com- 
 manding person, a fascinating manner, and a native ora- 
 tory, he became widely known and admired, and was sought

 Hanover May 17, L832,and died August 30, L 902, daughter 
 of Reverend Charles Pricket t Haddock of Dartmouth Col- 
 lege and Susan Saunders Lang, his wife. The mother of 
 
 Professor Haddock was Abigail Webster, sister of the fa- 
 mous Daniel Webster. Theodore Hinsdale was a lawyer by 
 profession and practiced in New York City for over forty 
 years, a man universally respected and admired. He re- 
 sided in Brooklyn, N. Y., from 1850 till his death. He 
 was a republican in politics. He was graduated from 
 Wesleyan University in 1836; studied law in New York 
 City from 1837 to 1840; was a member of Brooklyn Com- 
 mon Council, 18G6 and 1867; and a member of the New 
 York Legislature in 1S68 and 1869. Mr. and Mrs. Hins- 
 dale were Congregationalists. She was a poet and authoress. 
 Some of her earliest productions appeared in Scribner's 
 Magazine w r hen it was known as "Hours at Home." For 
 more than twenty years she was a contributor, largely to 
 religious journals, such at the Boston Congregationalist, 
 the Independent, the Sunday School Times and the Chris- 
 tian Union. These contributions have generally been in 
 the form of verse; but as a writer of short sketches, ex- 
 pounding some Bible truth, with added words of advice or 
 comfort, she was very successful. She was also the author 
 of two books," Coming to the King" and "Thinking Aloud," 
 published by Randolph & Co., New York, and afterwards 
 published by Straham, London. It is as a contributor to 
 literature of a devotional character that she is best known. 
 Among her poems of a devotional character are "The 
 Madonna and Child," written in 1867; also "My Heavenly 
 Friend," and "Christ Knocking at the Door." These all 
 appear in "The Library of Religious Poetry," edited by 
 Philip Schaff and Arthur Gilman, published by Dodd, 
 Mead & Co., New York, in 1881. Many of her hymns have 
 been embodied in various collections, such as the "Presby- 
 terian Hymnal." Dr. Philip Schaff, one of the ablest 
 critics of religious literature, has given place in his col- 
 lection, "Christ in Song," to four of her poems. Some of 
 them also appear in "Songs for the Sanctuary," e>!ited by 
 Dr. Richard S. Storrs and Charles S. Robinson. In 1S67 
 
208 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 she traveled abroad, and gathered much food for thought 
 and new inspirations. Her poem, " The Faithful Guard," 
 was sung to the tune of "America" by fifteen hundred 
 voices at the laying of the corner-stone of the 23rd Regi- 
 ment Armory in 1872. She had many of the Websterian 
 characteristics, was a charming conversationalist, and her 
 sentences often had the force and wit of epigrams.

 James T. White & Company, Vol. IX., p. 96: 
 
 Grace Webster (Haddock) Hinsdale, author, was born at 
 Hanover, N. H., May 17, 1832, daughter of Charles Brickett 
 and Susan Saunders (Lang) Haddock. Her mother was 
 the daughter of Richard Lang, of Hanover, N. H., and her 
 maternal great-grandfather was Col. Ebenezer Webster, 
 also of New Hampshire, father of Daniel Webster, and 
 himself a distinguished soldier and jurist. She early 
 developed the religious temperament that prompted her 
 most successful literary work. At the age of eighteen she 
 was married to Theodore Hinsdale, a lawyer, of New 
 York City, and made her home in Brooklyn. When first 
 she began to write, her productions took the form of con- 
 tributions to "Hours at Home," a magazine which after- 
 wards became "Scribner's Magazine," and she has also 
 contributed verse and prose articles to a large number of 
 periodicals, chiefly religious, including the Boston " Con- 
 gregationalism" "Independent," "Sunday School Times", 
 and "Christian Union." In 1865 she published two books, 
 "Coming to the King: a Book of Daily Devotions for Chil- 
 dren," and "Thinking Aloud," both of which were repub- 
 lished by an English firm. Selections from her hymns, 
 published first in Charles S. Robinson's and Dr. Storrs' 
 "Songs for the Sanctuary," have been copied in other 
 hymn books, and several of her poems are in the collection 
 "Christ in Song," compiled by Dr. Philip Schaff, one of 
 the ablest critics of religious literature, and many impor- 
 tant recent works on hymnody contain notices of her work. 
 The Brooklyn "Eagle" describes her hymns as "character- 
 ized by a depth of earnestness, a truly religious motive dis- 
 tinguishing them from the light literature of hymnody 
 born within the last few years." In 1872 Mrs. Hinsdale

 composed a poem, "The Faithful Guard," to be Bung a1 
 
 the laying <>t' the corner-stone of ili«- 23rd New York regi- 
 ment armory. Her poem mi Raphael's Madonna deSan 
 sisto, in the Royal Gallery of Dresden, has been fre- 
 quently copied. It was written in Europe in 1867. Mrs. 
 Hinsdale has read in public these verses, and also her poem 
 
 entitled, "The Old Cathedral." She has three children: 
 
 a Mm. Guy Hinsdale, M. I'.. of Philadelphia; a daughter, 
 the wife of George A. Lintner, of .Minneapolis, Minn., and 
 Prank W. Hinsdale.

 517. HONORABLE ELIHU BURRITT 7 (Elizabeth Hinsdale 6 
 Elijah 5 John 4 Barnabas 3 Barnabas 2 Robert 1 ), "The Learned 
 Blacksmith," U. S. Consul to Birmingham, England, son 
 of Elihu Burritt and Elizabeth Hinsdale, his wife, born 
 December 8, 1810, died at New Britain, the night of March 
 6, 1879, aged 69, unmarried. (See his life by Professor 
 Charles Northend.) He was in some respects one of the 
 most remarkable men of his age and country. He is better 
 known as "The Learned Blacksmith." Born and reared in 
 the small village of New Britain, Conn., his early advan- 
 tages were limited to the common school and the small 
 library of the village. His parents were poor, but they with 
 their family of ten children were all workers. He followed 
 the trade of his father, that of a blacksmith. He was very 
 modest and in fact diffident, but when some duty or princi- 
 
212 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 pie was involved, he became as bold as a lion. It is not 
 claimed that he had any peculiar genius, except for hard 
 work; he made the most of his time and opportunities, and 
 had an immense thirst for learning. He was a thorough 
 believer in the old adage that "where there is a will, there 
 is a way," and he devoted every spare moment to reading 
 and study. At the age of twenty-one he entered the 
 school of his older brother Elijah, and gave special atten- 
 tion to mathematics with the view of becoming a surveyor. 
 He made rapid progress, but after one term he found it 
 necessary to return to the anvil, and seeing that under such 
 conditions the languages could be acquired with greater 
 facility than mathematics, he procured a small Greek 
 grammar, which he carried in his hat, and recurred to it at 
 every opportunity. Mornings and evenings were given to 
 Latin and French. After a short period of work, he was 
 able to devote another term exclusively to study, and went 
 to New Haven for the advantage of being near Yale College, 
 but, being ashamed, at his age, to ask for help in the ele- 
 mentary studies, he determined to learn Greek and He- 
 brew without aid. He began with Homer's Iliad and a 
 Greek lexicon with Latin definitions, and his success was 
 such that he learned not only these languages, but also 
 self reliance, and the power of will and application. During 
 this winter in New Haven he made rapid progress in the 
 languages, ancient and modern. The next year he taught 
 an academy in a neighboring town, but his health begin- 
 ning to suffer from confinement, he became a travelling 
 salesman for a manufacturing concern; then bought an 
 interest in a country store, where the financial reversion 
 of 1837 found him, and swept away all his savings. A new 
 departure being necessary, he walked to Boston, a distance 
 of about 125 miles, hoping to find workjmd an opportunity 
 of study, but failed, and retraced his steps to Worcester 
 where he found both and gained admittance to the large 
 and rare library of the Antiquarian Society, where he 
 spent his evenings and leisure hours. Here he found a 
 Celto-Breton dictionary and grammar , ; jind was soon able 
 to address a letter in this language, dated August 12, 1838, 
 the first and only one ever written in this country, to the 
 Royal Antiquarian Society of France. In return, he re- 
 
HINSDALE (JENEALOCV 213 
 
 ceived a commendatory letter of acknowledgment and a 
 very large volume hearing the seal of the society. Having 
 become more or less familiar with all the languages of Eu- 
 rope, and several of Asia, he desired to turn his knowledge 
 to practical account, and with this view wrote a letter to 
 the Hon. Edward Everett. Out of this grew an offer from 
 Mr. Everett of a free course at Harvard College, which he 
 was compelled to decline for the reason that manual labor 
 in connection with study was indispensable to hie health. 
 About this time he began to be known as "The Learned 
 Blacksmith," and in 1841 he began to lecture, by invitation 
 before Lyceums and Associations in different parts of the 
 country. His first lecture, "Application and Science," 
 was delivered sixty times during the first winter. His 
 argument was, that there is no such thing as genius, and 
 that success is the result of patient and persevering applica- 
 tion. As mere scholarship, learning, or the acquisition of 
 knowledge can never satisfy the soul of an earnest man, 
 while so much suffering exists that can be alleviated by 
 human effort, he soon turned his attention to philanthropic 
 labors. One of the first objects to engage his attention was 
 the " Peace Cause." " Peace on earth and good will among 
 men." To this he added the advocacy of freedom, tem- 
 perance, self-culture, cheap postage and other reforms, 
 and in furtherance of these objects established and edited 
 several public journals, lectured, wrote letters, tracts and 
 newspaper articles, and devoted himself wholly to human 
 progress, as he had done before to learning. In 1846 he 
 went to England in the same ship that carried the news of 
 the friendly settlement of the Oregon Question. Here he 
 remained three years, working for the Peace Cause, travel- 
 ling, lecturing, writing, circulating "Olive Leaves," organ- 
 izing "Peace Congresses" in London, Manchester, Brus- 
 sels, Frankfort and Paris. In 1847, the year of the great 
 famine, he visited Ireland and spent two weeks in going 
 from hut to hovel, and was so greatly distressed by what 
 he saw that he made a strong and earnest appeal to his 
 native state for aid, which did much to intensify the sym- 
 pathies of the benevolent and resulted in sending a shipload 
 of provisions from Boston to Cork, which were received 
 with joyful demonstrations. While in Europe he had ob- 
 
214 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 served that the high rates of international postage were 
 very burdensome to the poorer classes ; and on his return 
 to America in 1849, he went to work with his accustomed 
 zeal and energy to bring about a reform by lectures, letters, 
 tracts, newspapers, petitions and visits to congressmen 
 and high officials. To him, more than to any other are the 
 people indebted for the present increased facilities for inter- 
 national correspondence. In 1863 he returned to England 
 to fulfill one of the purposes of his first visit, namely, a 
 pedestrian tour to gain an insight into the condition of 
 the working classes. In this and the year following, he 
 walked from London to John O'Groat's and from London 
 to Land's End, and published the results of his observa- 
 tions in two separate volumes. In 1865 he was appointed 
 Consular Agent for Birmingham, England, and as such, 
 visited various manufacturing establishments and collected 
 information concerning the industries and productions of 
 the territory included in his Consulate. This was pub- 
 lished in a large volume of 414 pages, abounding in valuable 
 information. Copies were sent to the State Department 
 at Washington, and in return, Mr. Seward sent a highly 
 complimentary letter to the author. While at Birmingham 
 he also wrote "The Mission of Great Sufferings," 25 pages. 
 He also continued his correspondence with the London 
 Peace Society, and wrote articles for various papers de- 
 signed to interest, instruct and benefit the young. His 
 whole soul seemed to be fired with a desire to do those 
 things which would tend to mitigate suffering and bless 
 mankind. No man ever lived whose efforts seemed more 
 unselfish or philanthropic in their character and tendency 
 than those of Elihu Burritt. He returned to America 
 for the last time in 1870, and resumed his residence at New 
 Britain, Conn., with his sister and two nieces. In 1874 
 he made arrangements to go to England to work up a grand 
 International Peace Congress, but while on the way to 
 Quebec to embark, a serious illness compelled him to 
 abandon the undertaking, and return home. Afterwards 
 his labors were limited to his native city and its neighbor- 
 hood. He established three or four weekly meetings in as 
 many different parts of the town for the benefit of those 
 who lived at inconvenient distances from the established 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 215 
 
 churches, and paid all the incidental expenses out of his 
 own scanty resources. In one section of the town be 
 erected a building to accommodate three hundred persons, 
 doing nearly all the work with his own bands. He was 
 deeply interested in the public schools, and as a member 
 of the local Board of Education frequently visited them 
 and addressed the pupils, always a most welcome visitor. 
 So in every good work, he continued active as long as his 
 strength was sufficient for it. In the autumn of 1878 he 
 fully realized that his release was near. Less than a week 
 before he died he said to some fellow members of a club 
 who called to give him the parting hand, "I hardly know- 
 whet her to say good evening or good-bye." He was a 
 sincere Christian, and ready for the summons to go up 
 higher. The poet Longfellow says, "I always had a great 
 admiration for the sweetness and simplicity of his charac- 
 ter, and was in perfect sympathy with him in his work. 
 Nothing ever came from his pen that w r as not wholesome 
 and good." Mary Howitt writes of his "stupendous 
 knowledge of the languages," his "prodigious learning," 
 his "large and benevolent heart, every throb a sentiment 
 of brotherhood for all mankind." Of the languages to 
 which he gave special attention were the Amharic, Arabic, 
 Basque, Bohemian, Celto-Breton, Chaldaic, Cornish Dutch, 
 Ethiopic, Flemish, French, Gaelic, German, Greek, Hebrew, 
 Hindustani, Hungarian, Icelandic, Irish, Latin, Manx, 
 Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Samaritan, Sanscrit, 
 Spanish, Swedish, Syriac, Turkish and Welsh.

 James T. While & Company, Vol. VI., pp. 133, 134 and 135 : 
 "Elihu Burritt, reformer, was born at New Britain, Conn., 
 December 8, 1810, being the youngest son in a family of 
 ten children equally divided between the two sexes. The 
 first traceable American ancestor was William Burritt, a 
 native of Glamorganshire, Wales, who settled in Stratford, 
 Conn., and died there in 1651. His descendants at the 
 time of the war of the revolution took opposite sides, one 
 branch going to Canada and the other loyalists. Both the 
 grandfather and father of the subject of this sketch, each 
 bearing the same Christian name, took part in the struggle. 
 
216 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 The father, like most of the early settlers in New England, 
 plied his trade, that of a shoemaker, in winter and handled 
 the plow and sickle in summer. Young Elihu left the com- 
 mon school at the time of his father's death in 1825, and 
 was some time after apprenticed to a blacksmith. From 
 an early age he displayed an extraordinary capacity for 
 mathematics. He received strong encouragement from 
 one of his brothers, Elijah Burritt, who was himself a fine 
 mathematician and an astronomer of much eminence, and 
 under the impetus of his cordial interest Elihu, at the age 
 of twenty-one, began his first systematic course of self- 
 instruction. He acquired a strong liking for languages, 
 and studied with such intense zeal after the close of his 
 apprenticeship that at the end of a year his health gave 
 way, forcing him to abandon the calling of a teacher which 
 he had begun under his brother, who kept a small board- 
 ing school. He mastered Homer's "Iliad" with the aid 
 solely of a Greek lexicon with Latin definitions, and de- 
 voted the winter of 1832 to the study of various other 
 tongues. Then for a short time he became a commercial 
 traveler with the idea of benefiting his health, and subse- 
 quently established himself in the grocery trade, but this 
 venture was broken up by the commercial crash of 1837. 
 After walking to Boston with the idea of taking ship to 
 England, and using his earnings to buy Oriental works there, 
 he went to Worcester, Mass., and returned to the anvil 
 and to his studies, which he prosecuted with increasing 
 energy with the help of books from the valuable library 
 of the Antiquarian Society of that town, and in the course 
 of a year or two had acquainted himself not only with most 
 of the languages of Europe, but with many of the Oriental 
 tongues, including Hebrew, Chaldaic, Syriac, and Ethiopic. 
 These varied acquirements, so astonishing in a man of his 
 youth and humble station, soon procured him the familiar 
 appellation of the "Learned Blacksmith," and led to his 
 being requested to deliver a lecture in the winter of 1841. 
 This he did, taking for his subject "Application and 
 Genius," and contending that genius, so far from being 
 inborn, does not really exist, and that all attainments are 
 nothing more than the result of persistent will and applica- 
 tion, thus giving utterance to what is at least a great half- 
 
HINSDALE <;i.\l AI.OCV 217 
 
 truth. The anti— hi very movement was then beginning 
 to gather strength, and Elihti Burnt t al mice became a 
 warm advocate of its doctrines; and so, his thoughts com- 
 ing to l)e drawn into the field of active philanthropy, his 
 
 studies in languages were after awhile perforce discon- 
 tinued. Starting to write a description of the analogy 
 which he perceived between the configuration and functions 
 of the earth and those of the human frame, the con- 
 viction grew upon him that differences in the climate and 
 natural resources of countries lying in the same parallel 
 were preordained, though the necessity of an interchange 
 of each country's productions, to form a natural bond of 
 union between them. This was the awakening in Burritt's 
 mind of an idea which was thenceforth to shape the actions 
 of his whole life — that of universal brotherhood. He 
 thereupon prepared a radical "Peace Lecture" out of the 
 subject, and delivered it before a Baptist society in the 
 Tremont Theater at Boston. He then started a weekly 
 paper at Worcester, calling it the "Christian Citizen," 
 advocating anti-slaver}-, peace, temperance, and self- 
 culture. In 1S46, in consequence of the part which he 
 played in the settlement, through correspondence between 
 the commercial communities of England and the United 
 States, of the much-vexed "Oregon Question," Burritt 
 was invited to England, where during a stay of three years 
 he devoted himself to the cause of peace in co-operation 
 with its English advocates, and aided greatly in the organi- 
 zation in London, in May, 1847, of The League of Universal 
 Brotherhood, designed to promote international harmony 
 and good will. He shortly after began the publication of 
 an official organ called the "Bond of Brotherhood," with 
 the result that in less than a year several thousands of 
 people in the United Kingdom, and an equal number in 
 the United States, had signed the pledge of membership 
 in the new association. In September of the same year he 
 first mooted the question of ocean penny postage. He was 
 greatly touched by the suffering of the Irish peasantry in 
 the awful famine of 1846-7, and spent most of February of 
 the latter year in a tour of the distressed country for the re- 
 lief of the sufferers, to which the English parliament con- 
 tributed no less than $50,000,000. He kept a diary from 
 
218 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 day to day detailing his experiences, and rarely have hu- 
 man suffering, disease, and death been so graphically and 
 at the same time touchingly portrayed. In 1848 Burritt 
 became active in the organization of the first international 
 congress of the Friends of Peace, going first to Paris to 
 complete arrangements, and then visiting the large Eng- 
 lish towns for the purpose of securing delegates. The 
 political revolution in the French capital, however, caused 
 a postponement and change of locale, and the conference 
 eventually was held at Brussels in September, the Belgian 
 government giving official recognition to it, while both 
 English and Continental journals hailed it as a "Peace 
 Congress." After its close, the League of Universal Brother- 
 hood united with the London Peace Society to petition the 
 English parliament through Richard Cobden in favor of 
 international arbitration. When Cobden's motion was 
 finally put in the House of Commons, over seventy members 
 voted in its favor, a remarkable tribute to the intrinsic 
 worth of a doctrine then so subversive of all generally 
 received ideas on the subject of war and international 
 rivalry. The second congress was held in Paris in 1849, 
 with Victor Hugo presiding. The great French poet on 
 this occasion made a speech which has since been widely 
 read and quoted, on accoimt of its inspired spirit and pro- 
 phecy. "A day will come," he declared in tones of earnest 
 conviction, "when those two immense groups, the United 
 States of America and the United States of Europe, will 
 be seen placed in the presence of each other, extending the 
 hand of fellowship across the ocean — exchanging their 
 produce, their commerce, their industries, their arts, their 
 genius — clearing the earth, peopling the desert, improv- 
 ing creation under the eye of the Creator, and uniting for 
 the good of all, these two irresistible and infinite powers — 
 the fraternity of men and the power of God." Shortly 
 afterwards the American reformer returned home and was 
 received with enthusiastic demonstrations of respect and 
 delight. He proceeded on a lecturing tour through most 
 of the States of the Union, returned to Europe, attended 
 the peace congresses at Frankfort-on-the-Main in 1850, 
 London, 1851, Manchester, 1852, and Edinburgh, 1853, 
 meeting everywhere with signs of the increased hold which 
 
HiNsi) aij: <;i;.\i;.\l<m;y 219 
 
 the doctrines of universal brotherhood and international 
 arbitration had acquired over the minds of all classes. 1 m- 
 mediately after the Edinburgh congress he returned to 
 America and devoted himself to agitating ocean penny pos- 
 tage, addressing public meetings in different stat< seek- 
 ing to enlist members of congress in Washington in favor 
 of reform, and then touring the southern and western 
 sections of the country on its behalf. Then passing through 
 Canada he obtained petitions to the British Parliament in 
 many of the principle cities, and in August, 1854, once 
 more found himself in England. His efforts to arouse 
 public opinion met with such success that the English 
 government made material reductions in the postal charges 
 to Australia, India, Canada, and other colonies, as well as 
 to France. The Crimean war put an end to the movement 
 for universal peace, and Burritt turned his attention to the 
 slavery question in his native land, and while yet in London, 
 assumed the editorship of a paper published in Philadel- 
 phia, the "Citizen of the World," through the columns of 
 which he advocated compensated emancipation. Re- 
 crossing the Atlantic he spent several winters in traveling 
 through the United States, addressing meetings from 
 Maine to Iowa, and called a convention in August, 1856, 
 at Cleveland, O., to which came delegates from various 
 parts of the country, including a few even from the south. 
 A resolution was passed favoring the organization of the 
 National Compensated Emancipation Co. All such 
 schemes were, however, nipped in the bud by John Brown's 
 raid on Harper's Ferry. Burritt's contention was that 
 the extinction of the evil of slavery by compensation 
 " would have recognized the moral complicity of the whole 
 nation in planting and perpetuating it on this continent. 
 It would have been an act of repentance, and the meetest 
 work for repentance the nation could perform. But it was 
 too late. It was too heavy and red to go out in tears. 
 Too late! It had to go out in blood, and the whole nation 
 opened the million sluices of its best life to deepen and widen 
 the costly flood. If, before these sluice-gates were opened 
 to these red streams, so hot with passion, one bona fide 
 offer had been made by the north to share with the south 
 the task, cost, and duty of lifting slavery from the bosom 
 
220 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 of the nation, perhaps thousands who gave up their first- 
 born and youngest-born to death might have looked into 
 that river of blood with more ease and comfort at their 
 hearts. Although the earth has drunk that red river out 
 of human sight, it still runs fresh and full, without the 
 waste of a drop, before the eyes of God; and the patriot, 
 as well as the Christian, might well wish that he could re- 
 cognize in the stream the shadow of an honest effort on the 
 part of the north to lift the great sin and curse without 
 waiting for such a deluge to sweep them away." Full of 
 grief at the failure of his plans, he then returned to his 
 farm at New Britain. In 1863 he once more crossed to 
 Great Britain, and made long tours on foot through Eng- 
 land and Scotland, with the purpose of acquainting him- 
 self with the agricultural pursuits and problems of the king- 
 dom, and so enlarging his own and his countrymen's 
 knowledge. He wrote two volumes descriptive of these 
 walks, which were published in London. In 1865, without 
 his solicitation, he was appointed U. S. consular agent to 
 Birmingham, was superseded under Grant's administra- 
 tion, and after a brief visit to Oxford, where he formed 
 the acquaintance of Max Muller, returned to his New 
 England home in 1870, and there spent the declining years 
 of his active and laborious life. Elihu Burritt's character 
 was just such a one as furnishes the best possible kind of 
 model for youth to study and endeavor to emulate. His 
 character was above reproach, his aims of the purest and 
 highest, his will-power indomitable, his appetite for work 
 insatiable. We cannot do better in this connection than 
 quote his own words: "All that I have accomplished, or 
 expect or hope to accomplish, has been, and will be by 
 that plodding, patient, persevering process of accretion 
 which builds the ant-heap, particle by particle, thought by 
 thought, fact by fact. If I was ever actuated by ambition, 
 its highest and warmest aspiration reached no further than 
 to hope to set before the young men of any country an ex- 
 ample in employing those invaluable fragments of time 
 called 'odd moments.' " The poet Longfellow has borne 
 his tribute of praise likewise: "I always had a great 
 admiration for the sweetness and simplicity of Mr. Burritt's 
 character, and was in perfect sympathy with him in his 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 221 
 
 work. Nothing ever came from his pen that was not 
 wholesome and good." Of his unfailing efforts in the 
 cause of peace, to which he devoted the best energies of his 
 life, it is sufficient to say that, if not so successful as he 
 would have wished, they have yet led to very import nut 
 results, both during and since his lifetime. One has only 
 to call to mind the Geneva tribunal, which settled the 
 Alabama difficulties; the Washington treaty, which dis- 
 posed of a vexed question between England and the 
 United States; the Paris Behring Sea tribunal, which pre- 
 vented a possible rupture between the same countries over 
 the seal fisheries question; and the still more recent repre- 
 sentations of the Powers and the United States to Turkey 
 in favor of an arbitration committee to regulate the Armen- 
 ian troubles; to perceive how powerful and good has been 
 the life-work of this single-minded and zealous reformer. 
 It remains to be recorded of Elihu Burritt that, unlike 
 most reformers, he was never a bigot; but, broad-minded 
 and charitable, he could respect the opinions of others 
 even when they were diametrically opposed to his own 
 convictions. He had the faculty of making friends among 
 all classes, and was in his own person a true apostle of his 
 great creed of the brotherhood of man. His published

 From the St. Louis Globe Democrat, Jul;/ 11, 1897 j 
 "America is not likely to class among its great orators 
 a simple New England blacksmith who rose to eminence 
 as a gifted linguist and a devotee of humanitarianism. 
 But it happens to be a fact that on one occasion the sim- 
 ple Elihu Burritt, inspired by his enthusiasm for humanity, 
 
222 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 did make one of the most notable speeches ever uttered by 
 an American. Beginning with 1846, he spent three years 
 in England, everywhere lecturing in behalf of the League 
 of Universal Brotherhood. We are told that his first 
 appearance before a London audience was met with the 
 most turbulent and noisy opposition. "Amid cries for ad- 
 journment, whooping and jeering, Mr. Burritt made effort 
 after effort to be heard, but in vain. All was uproar. But 
 at last patience won the day." Speaking of the affair, Mr. 
 Burritt himself says, "I summoned all my physical power, 
 and when I had won the audience I spoke for two hours 
 as I had never done before in my life." When he had 
 finished and began to offer the pledge, bursts of applause 
 were so continuous as to almost prevent his work. Four 
 times he undertook to read the last clause of the constitu- 
 tion of the brotherhood. When he came to the word 
 "color" the house went into a most furious and enthusias- 
 tic acclamation, echoing and resounding with applause. 
 Ladies waved their handkerchiefs, while men swung their 
 hats. He sat down amid such a tempest of cheers as 
 hardly ever greeted any man on any public occasion in 
 England. Burritt, describing the handshaking that fol- 
 lowed and the autograph-seeking, and his final escape to 
 his quiet room, records, " I threaded my way back to the 
 days of my bashful boyhood, through all the way the Lord 
 hath led me." The greatness of the occasion lay not a 
 little in the fact, that this man was absolutely self-forgetful 
 and considered himself an instrument of the Lord God. 
 As such he had mastered the most bitter opposition and 
 won the most tempestuous indorsement."

 in Kenosha. He was a fine type of the intelligent, enter- 
 prising, public spirited American citizen. If a prosy- 
 gathering needed stirring up and enthusing, he could, in 
 well chosen words, make a crisp, impressive speech that 
 would move the assemblage to the desired pitch of enthu- 
 siasm on any question of public policy. He was instru-

 the first absolutely free school outside of New England,

 gardless of the amount of tax he paid. Mr. Hinsdale

 who was son of Reverend Jedediah Dewey. The follow- 
 ing is from the pen of Lieutenant Aaron Hubbell depict- 
 ing a scene immediately preceding the Bennington Battle, 
 and when the writer was about twenty years of age and 
 a member of Captain Samuel Robinson's company of 
 Vermont Militia. 
 
 "To begin at the beginning: I was mowing with Moses 
 Hinsdale, August 13, 1777. At about three o'clock in the 
 afternoon, Joseph Hinsdale came in great haste, and told 
 us that the British were on their march to Bennington, 
 that we must leave our work immediately and assist him 
 in moving his family and effects to some other place. We 
 did so, and on our way, we met Capt. Samuel Robinson 
 
244 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 who had command of a company of militia. He told us 
 that we must be in Bennington the next morning before 
 sunrise. We were there at the time mentioned. Gen. Stark's 
 troops were coming in at the same time. The 14th, I 
 started with Captain's Robinson's company for the battle, 
 as I supposed, but it did not take place until the 16th. We 
 marched to the place where David Henry now lives and 
 then halted, and were ordered to fell trees to stop the 
 artillery of the enemy. I struck the first blow, and brought 
 down the first tree to effect that object. Our next halt 
 was at the road which leads from North Bennington where 
 we again felled trees and made our stand for other troops 
 to come up and they came in goodly numbers. General 
 Stark and his troops with Captain Robinson's company 
 were ordered to hold ourselves — every man — in readiness 
 to go to battle the next morning, the 15th, which proved 
 to be a very rainy day. This was a most providential 
 circumstance for us, as we were greatly strengthened by 
 a handsome acquisition to our numbers." 
 
 Here the pen was dropped, probably to be taken up 
 later on, but unfortunately this was never done.

 "Mrs. Seymour was born at Bennington, Vt., January 
 24, 1824, and came to Grand Rapids in 1837. In 1844 
 she was married to Henry Seymour. Many of the early 
 years of her married life were spent on the Seymour farm 
 in Paris township, and later the family moved in to the 
 city. Mrs. Seymour was one of the oldest members of 
 the Park Congregational church, and until the last few 
 years of her life, when her health failed, she was active in 
 the work of the church. She was also for many years an 
 active member of the Ladies' Literary club. In her younger 
 days Mrs. Seymour was one of the prominent singers of 
 Grand Rapids, which was then a village. She was one of 
 the oldest residents of the city, having lived here and in 
 the vicinity sixty-seven years.

 "She was endowed with an excellent mind and she re- 
 tained her interest in affairs up to the time of her death. 
 No woman wore with more dignity and love the name of 
 mother than Mrs. Seymour. She was the idol of her large 
 family of children and her declining years were blessed 
 with the protecting love of her sons and daughters. She 
 was also beloved by a large circle of friends."

 mage, Ottawa County, Mich., where they resided until 
 his death, July 19, 1879. He was a farmer. 
 
 From a newspaper, April 25, 1898: 
 "Yesterday afternoon at 1:15 Mrs. Geraldine Hinsdale 
 Combes, aged 78 years, died at the home of her daughter, 
 Mrs. H. D. Brown, No. 95 Fountain street. She was an 
 old settler in Grand Rapids, and came here from Ben- 
 nington, Vt., where she was born in 1820. She came to 
 
HINSDALE gfnkalogy 247 
 
 Grand Rapids in 1830 and is the last of the charter mem- 
 bers of the old First Congregational Church, which is now 
 the Park Church. The deceased had five children living. 
 The funeral will be held from the house to-morrow morn- 
 ing at 10 o'clock, and Dr. Bradley, pastor of the Park 
 Congregational Church, will officiate. The remains will 
 be bured at Lamont, where she lived for some time during 
 the early part of her residence in the West." 
 
 From Grand Rapids (Mich.) Herald: 
 
 "Considerable interest is being manifested by the con- 
 gregationalists in the sixtieth anniversary of Park Con- 
 gregational Church, to be celebrated to-morrow. 
 
 " Sixty years ago yesterday what is now known as the 
 Park or First Congregational Church was organized with 
 22 members by the Rev. M. Woodbury of Kalamazoo. 
 It was organized as a Presbyterian Church, and three years 
 later voted to become Congregational. Of those 22, all 
 have passed away except Mrs. Geraldine Combes, who 
 resides on Lake street. Up to the present time 1,951 
 members have united with the church, the present mem- 
 bership being 872. Park Church is the oldest Protestant 
 organization in Grand Rapids, and has seen the growth 
 of the city from its insignificant beginnings, and in that 
 growth, has borne a wwthy part. Six churches, offshoots, 
 with 750 members, located in the first, fifth, sixth, eleventh 
 and twelfth wards indicate something of the denomina- 
 tional strength, while mission schools are carried on in the 
 fourth and fifth wards. The total Sunday school enroll- 
 ment of Park Church and its missions is 1,100, and the 
 total Sunday school enrollment in the city over 2,000. 
 The cost of maintaining the mother church and its mis- 
 sions is in the neighborhood of $8,500 per year, while the 
 benevolences last year were $9,500 in addition. The an- 
 niversary services w-ill be held to-morrow, the pastor, the 
 Rev. Dan F. Bradley, preaching a sermon on 'What the 
 Church has Stood For.' In the Sunday school, former 
 superintendents, among whom L. E. Patten and Dr. James 
 Gallup had long periods of successful service, will make 
 addresses, and at 5 o'clock a layman's service, presided 
 over by Gen. B. M. Cutcheon, will be addressed by H. J.

 633. HENRY WALBRIDGE HINSDALE 1 (Hiram 6 Joseph 5 
 Joseph 4 Isaac 3 Barnabas 2 Robert 1 ), son of Hiram Hinsdill 
 and Roxalany Walbridge, his wife, born at Ben- 
 nington, Vt., August 23, 1825, was married at Chicago, 
 111., by Rev. Cornelius E. Swope, rector of Grace Episcopal 
 Church, April 19, 1S52, to Eliza Jane Chatfield, daugh- 
 ter of John Chatfield and Mary Ann Moore, his wife, of 
 Batavia, N. Y. At twenty years of age, in August, 1845, 
 he went from Grand Rapids, Mich., to Chicago, and ob- 
 tained employment as porter in the wholesale and retail 
 grocery store of J. H. Durham. In five years, by close 
 application and faithfulness, he had mastered the details 
 of the business and in the spring of 1850, in connection 
 with William R. Gould, later of the firm of Gould Bros., 
 purchased the business of Mr. Durham, and formed a 
 partnership under the name of Hinsdale & Gould. At 
 the end of the year they were joined by B. F. Hadduck, 
 
250 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 the firm becoming Hinsdale, Gould & Hadduck. In six 
 months Mr. Hinsdale withdrew from the concern and be- 
 came a partner of his former employer, Mr. Durham, who 
 had resumed business in South Water street. The con- 
 cern under the style of J. H. Durham & Co. did a business 
 of $300,000 the first year. For five years the partner- 
 ship continued and the business was very prosperous, 
 being known throughout the Northwest. At the end of 
 that time Mr. Durham withdrew from active manage- 
 ment, selling out to J. P. Babcock. The firm became 
 Hinsdale & Babcock, and so continued until January, 
 1860, when Mr. Babcock withdrew. During these years, 
 the business had increased with wonderful strides. Mr. 
 Hinsdale now took into partnership an employee, S. 
 Sibley, the firm becoming H. W. Hinsdale & Co., with a 
 capital o $50,000. Their yearly sales amounted to $500, 
 000. This large business reflected the intellect, expe- 
 rience and energy of Mr. Hinsdale. He erected a hand- 
 some building on the corner of South Water and River 
 Streets, which was occupied by his concern, and in which 
 his groceries were stored. In January, 1864, William F. 
 Endicott purchased an interest in the firm, which became 
 Hinsdale, Sibley & Endicott, with a capital of $250,000. 
 Its trade extended into the far West, and the business 
 amounted to $2,000,000 in 1866. Mr. Hinsdale thus ac- 
 cumulated a fortune, but the great Chicago Fire in 1871 
 swept away the bulk of his fortune, which he was after- 
 wards never able to regain. He was a most earnest, 
 active, honorable business man, and won high esteem 
 from all with whom he dealt, for his business qualities, 
 among which were the strictest integrity and capacity 
 for hard work. He took an active interest in charitable 
 and humane projects, and his generosity is well known. 
 The town of Hinsdale, 111., is named for him. Mr. and 
 Mrs. Hinsdale are now residing at Evanston, 111. They 
 celebrated the golden anniversary of their wedding on 
 April 19, 1902. Many beautiful gifts were received. 
 Relatives and friends from Illinois and Michigan were 
 present and the day was a memorable one. An original 
 poem in honor of the occasion was read by a niece, Miss 
 Ellen Dean of Grand Rapids, Mich.

 Burlington, Vt., October 27, 1822, and died at Brecken- 
 ridge, Colo., September 18, 1896. He crossed the plains 
 to California in 1850, and established himself as a merchant 
 at Sacramento. After his marriage at Grand Rapids, he 
 returned with his wife to California, and engaged in mer- 
 cantile business at Placerville, where he was a successful 
 business man, and was twice elected mayor of that place. 
 In 1862, he removed to Virginia City, Nev., where he en- 
 gaged in business, became a leading citizen, and was 
 also elected mayor. In 1872, he removed to Breck- 
 enridge, Colo., and engaged in mining. With the excep- 
 tion of a few years spent in Denver and in Douglas County, 
 Colo., he lived at Breckenridge until his death, which was 
 caused by paralysis of the brain following an attack of 
 grippe. He was a man of good business capacity, and 
 was very popular, having hosts of friends. He was thor- 
 oughly imbued with western ideas and habits, and was 
 foremost to advocate any cause promoting Western inter- 
 ests. His wife was for several years a teacher in the pub- 
 lic schools of Grand Rapids, Mich., and after her marriage, 
 in 1853, crossed the plains with her husband in an emi- 
 grant train. They had no children.

 Charlotte Chatfield, the youngest child of John Chat- 
 field and Mary Ann Moore, his wife, of Batavia, N. Y., 
 and sister of Eliza Jane Chatfield, wife of Henry W. Hins- 
 dale. He was graduated at Kalamazoo College, Kalama- 
 zoo, Mich., in 1863. In 1865, he took the degree of 
 Bachelor of Laws at Harvard Law School, Cam- 
 bridge, Mass., and was admitted to the Illinois Bar at 
 Springfield, 111., January 6, 1866. In the spring of that

 his profession of law for two years. He then returned 
 to Chicago, where he resumed the practice of his profes- 
 sion, and was Justice of the Peace in that city 1871-1875. 
 In 1876 he removed to Grand Rapids, Mich., where he 
 was engaged in the practice of law until the autumn of 
 1881, when becoming interested in the iron mines of Lake 
 Superior, he removed to Negaimee, Mich., where he lived 
 during the years 1882 and 1883, until in November of the 
 latter year, he removed to Denver, Colo., where he re- 
 sumed the practice of his profession, and in September,

 no children. 
 
 To the initiative taken by Mr. Hinsdale is due the com- 
 pilation of this genealogy, and thanks should be extended 
 to him by all descendants of Robert Hinsdale. With 
 that modesty for which he is noted among all his ac- 
 quaintances, he says: "The work was suggested to, and 
 urged upon me by Mrs. Mary E. Truax of Crawfordsville, 
 Ind. My moments of leisure were devoted to it for years, 
 but finally, realizing that I could not bring it to publica- 
 tion, I turned over all my data to the late Herbert C. 
 Andrews, to whom the merit belongs of the arrangement, 
 etc. With me it has been a labor of love, and I never 
 expected any remuneration. I am now happy in the con- 
 fident expectation that the work is brought to the verge 
 of publication. If the book meets the approval of the 
 members of my family, I am content."

 "Sanford Charles Hinsdale, Lawyer, United States Cir-

 born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, August 14, 1839, the son 
 of Hiram and Roxalany (Walbridge) Hinsdale. The titu- 
 lar founders of the town of Hinsdale, Massachusetts, and 
 Hinsdale, New Hampshire, were his ancestors, the first 
 of whom in this country was Robert Hinsdale, one of the 
 original settlers of Dedham, Massachusetts, who joined 
 
254 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston 
 in 1645 and was afterwards among the founders of Medfield 
 and Deer field. He and his three sons served in King 
 Philip's war and all were killed at the battle of Bloody 
 Brook, near Deerfield, September 18, 1675. Joseph Hins- 
 dale, who was born in Canaan, Connecticut, 1747, served 
 in the Revolutionary War as an Ensign in Captain Samuel 
 Robinson's Company of Militia and participated in the 
 battle of Bennington. His death occurred August 18, 1800. 
 On October 15, 1772, he married Hannah Bingham, and 
 his son, Hiram Hinsdale, Sanford C. Hinsdale's father who 
 was born in Bennington, Vermont, December 12, 1788, 
 and died at Plymouth, Mich., July 1, 1871, was married 
 June 11, 1818, to Roxalany Walbridge. She was born 
 in Norwich, Connecticut August 6, 1793, daughter of Gus- 
 tavus and Anna (Sanford) Walbridge, both of Norwich, 
 and she died at Grand Rapids, Mich., June 8, 1845. The 
 subject of this sketch attended the common and high 
 schools of Grand Rapids, was graduated from the Kala- 
 mazoo (Michigan) College in 1863, and from the Harvard 
 Law School with the decree of Bachelor of Laws in 1865. 
 Admitted to the Bar in Springfield, 111., in 1866, and to 
 the courts of Nebraska the same year, he practiced in 
 Omaha some two years, at the expiration of which time 
 he went to Chicago, where he resided about eight years, 
 and was a Justice of the Peace there from 1871 to 1875. 
 From 1876 to 1881 he practised in his native city, and the 
 succeeding two years were spent in Negaunee, Marquette 
 county, Michigan, from which town he removed to Denver, 
 Col., in the autumn of 1883. In September, 1891, he was 
 appointed United States Circuit Court Commissioner and 
 Master and Examiner of the Federal Courts for the Dis- 
 trict of Colorado, offices which he still holds. His pro- 
 fessional career has been attended with satisfactory re- 
 sults, and as a public official his record is honorable both 
 to himself and his adopted state. Mr. Hinsdale was 
 largely instrumental in organizing the Society of the Sons 
 of the Revolution in Colorado. At Grand Rapids, October 
 24, 1872, he married Charlotte, daughter of John and 
 Mary Ann (Moore) Chatfield, of Batavia, N. Y. They 
 have no children."

 From Rocky Mountain Herald, January l.l, IS!).',: 
 "United States Commissioner 8. C. Hinsdale was born 
 
 in Grand Rapids, .Mich., in \K\\). His early education 
 
 was acquired is the public schools and academies of Grand 
 
 Rapids, from which he went to Kalamazoo College, grad- 
 uating therefrom in 1864, He was admitted to the prac- 
 tice of law by the Illinois supreme court in 1S65, and im- 
 mediately opened an office in Chicago, where he remained 
 in practice until 1871, during part of which time he was 
 a partner of Emory A. Storrs, and was associated with all 
 of the leading lights of the Chicago bar, many of whom 
 have since risen to national prominence. In 1871 he was 
 appointed by the governor of his state Justice of the Peace 
 for South Chicago, and during the four years of his in- 
 cumbency tried 14,000 cases. In 1875 he recommenced 
 his practice, but in the following year was called back to 
 Grand Rapids to settle a large estate, in which duty he 
 was engaged until the fall of 1SS1, when, having some 
 interests in the iron regions, he went to the Lake Superior 
 country, settling at Negaimee, near Marquette, and remain- 
 ing there until the fall of 1SS3, when he came to Denver 
 and opened an office. He practiced law successfully in 
 this city imtil September, 1891, when he was appointed 
 by the Uniti d States Circuit Court, United States Commis- 
 sioner and master and examiner in chancery. Mr. Hins- 
 dale is a member of the Association of the Sons of the 
 Re volution, springing from a New England family w r hich 
 traces its descent from father to son back to 1642, only 
 twenty-two years after the landing of the Pilgrims at 
 Plymouth Rock. From these ancestors he undoubtedly 
 obtained the scholarly habits which have distinguished 
 him during his life. He has a passionate love for Greek 
 literature, reading the originals as easily as he reads Eng- 
 ish, and during the past thirty years not a single day has 
 passed without an indulgence in his favorite studv. and a 
 reading of one or the other of the great authors of Greece 
 in the original. Mr. Hinsdale, both professionally and 
 socially, is held in high esteem by his associates, and in his 
 intercourse with his fellowmen is a genial, entertaining 
 gentleman, while professionally he stands in the front 
 rank." 
 
256 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 From the Denver (Colo.) Post, December. 25, 1898 
 
 "Sanford C. Hinsdale, a United States commissioner of 
 the district of Colorado, and one of the best Greek scholars 
 in the country, received his love for Greek and his admira- 
 tion of Plato on Christmas tide thirty-eight years ago. 
 Mr. Hinsdale has met many great men in his time, but 
 this recollection of 1860 is still fresh in his mind. 
 
 " 'I was in Kalamazoo, Mich., studying at the Baptist 
 College there and living in the family of my cousin, Lucinda 
 Hinsdale Stone, the wife of the president of the college. 
 And, by the way, Mrs. Stone is still living. She is 84 
 years of age, and with Julia Ward Howe, was one of the 
 vice-presidents of the Confederated Woman's clubs. She 
 organized the Ladies' Library Club in the West. 
 
 " 'Mrs. Stone has often referred to that December, with 
 the statement, "We entertained an angel unawares." It 
 is true, for it was Ralph Waldo Emerson, and he was on 
 first lecture tour throughout the country. 
 
 " 'Being a guest of my cousin, I was, of course, invited 
 to the holiday dinner at which Emerson was the honored 
 guest. The long table was filled with gray-haired profes- 
 sors. I felt somewhat out of place. I was the youngest 
 there and in the presence of the great man I felt that I 
 would be embarrassed because of my youth. 
 
 '"Emerson had visited our Greek recitation that after- 
 noon and evidently recognized me as one of the class 
 when he entered the room. He seated himself, to my 
 secret delight and astonishment, beside me at the table, 
 preferring to sit next to a bashful student, with whom he 
 conversed during most of the meal, paying very little at- 
 tention to the grave professors who sat at the same table. 
 The conversation of the great man related almost entirely 
 to Greek. He dwelt upon the divine Plato and told me 
 how to understand him. 
 
 '"A great impetus was then and there given me in my 
 studies and life as a student and a forward movement was 
 begun which has lasted until the present time. 
 
 "'I have read in the original and studied with delight 
 all the writings extant of the great philosopher, but the 
 works of the Sage of Concord hold a place with me sec- 
 ond to none. He is the Plato of the nineteenth century; 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 257 
 
 in himself all the valuable aesthetic thought that has been 
 evolved since the days of the immortal Greek, and along 
 his lines, is set forth as it appears to a man of America. 
 
 "'I never saw Emerson again. We parted at the end 
 of the meal with a warm hand-clasp. 
 
 "'That hour 1 spent with him was the turning point 
 of my life. It opened a vista to me which was faint, 
 indeed, before, and in which I have stolen many an hour's 
 enjoyment since.' "

 daughter, Mrs. William Hawley Smith, No. 1919 Knoxville

 "Mr. Galusha was 78 years of age, and up to Tuesday 
 evening had been in fair health. He was seized with an 
 attack of acute inflammation of the stomach and passed 
 away yesterday evening at 7 o'clock. 
 
 "Mr. Galusha was well known in the city, especially 
 among the older residents and the local scientists. He 
 was highly esteemed by members of the Scientific associa- 
 tion and his addresses on scientific matters were consid- 
 ered able and of a progressive character. He was a student, 
 a thorough reader and spent most of his time with his 
 library. 
 
 "For many years he was secretary of the Illinois State 
 Horticultural association. He was well known over the 
 state as a horticulturist. When the question of a univer- 
 sity was broached Mr. Galusha was one of the first to 
 identify himself with the movement. His services were

 so valuable in the preparatory work that he was retained 
 as a member of the board of trustees and served for years. 
 "He was born in Vermont, and forty-five years ago 
 moved to Illinois, first settling at Lisbon. Later he moved 
 to Morris. He came to Peoria fourteen years ago, and

 "Memorial and Tribute of the Detroit Bar Association 
 to the memory of Edwin C. Hinsdale. Henry M. Cheever 
 submitted the following memorial and resolution: Edwin 
 Charles Hinsdale was born at Hinesburg, Vermont, in 1821. 
 He removed to Michigan when twelve years of age. He 
 entered the University of Michigan, taking only a partial 
 course and removed to Mississippi, where he engaged in 
 teaching for several years. Returning to Michigan, he 
 followed the profession of teaching four years at Battle

 Creek, when he abandoned it and entered the law office 
 of Benjamin F. Graves, then one of the most prominent 
 lawyers of Central Michigan, and who afterwards became 
 
 one of the justices of the Supreme Court of the State. 
 Mr. Hinsdale was admitted to the bar in 1S57, and came 
 to Detroit, where he became associated with the Hon. C. I. 
 Walker in the practice of his profession. This associa- 
 tion continued until within the past two years, when the 
 health of both these gentlemen failing they retired from 
 practice. Following the natural inclination of his mind, 
 and preferring the work of the office, and the applications 
 and investigations which such a field afforded the lawyer, 
 lather than the more intense activities of a Court practice, 
 he was rarely found in the forensic arena, but his profes- 
 sional labor was seen in the careful preparation and legal 
 investigation of cases, which others presented for adjudi- 
 cation. He held the office of City Treasurer for one term 
 and regarded the office as a public trust, the responsi- 
 bilities pertaining to which office he discharged with rare 
 fidelity and ability. He was a man of fine literary taste, 
 a great reader, a student of modern languages other than 
 his mother tongue, and his wonderful memory enabled 
 him to utilize these abilities to his own enjoyment as 
 well as to the gratification of others. A man of sterling 
 integrity, of deep religious convictions, of positive traits 
 of character, and withal of such warm sympathies, he pre- 
 sented to the world a life so well rounded in all its noble 
 qualities that he won the respect and esteem of all who 
 knew him. In his professional and official life he was above 
 reproach, in his private life pure, and in his Christian 
 professions sincere and consistent. For many years he 
 has borne his bodily infirmities with patience and resig- 
 nation, and when the summons came, he obeyed with 
 nothing to fear. We submit the following resolution: 
 
 " Resolved, that an engraved copy of this memorial be 
 transmitted to the family of the deceased, as a token of 
 our sorrow and our sympathy with them in their afflic- 
 tion. " Henry M. Cheever.

 From Detroit (Mich.) Free Press, July 13, 1894: 
 
 "Edwin C. Hinsdale died about noon yesterday at his 
 late residence, 139 Lafayette avenue, in the 73rd year of 
 his age. 
 
 "He was for many years one of the most prominent law- 
 yers of this city, but about a year ago he retired from 
 practice owing to failing health. Seventeen years ago he 
 sustained a stroke of apoplexy, from which he never fully 
 recovered. Other similar attacks followed at intervals, 
 which came upon him so suddenly that he would fall sense- 
 less. The nature and cause of those attacks baffled his 
 medical attendants. At times they were attended by 
 partial paralysis. A week ago last Sunday he attended 
 services at the First Congregational church, of which he 
 was a deacon, and assisted in taking up the collection. On 
 the following day he was attending to business. Tues- 
 day, one of his shocks returned, but unlike the former 
 attacks, bleeding did not restore him. Spasms that seemed 
 to result from slight apoplectic shocks were frequent, and 
 the end soon came. 
 
 " Mr. Hinsdale was born at Hinesburg, Vt., in 1821, and 
 in 1833 he came to Michigan. He entered for a literary 
 course at the University of Michigan, but could not remain 
 to graduate owing to straitened circumstances. He 
 then went to Union Church, Miss., where he taught for 
 seven years, then returned to Michigan, and taught in 
 the academy at Battle Creek for four or five years. He 
 next took up law, and studied in the office of Judge Graves. 
 In 1857, when admitted to the bar, he came to Detroit, 
 taking part of the office of Hon. C. L. Walker. He was 
 twice elected City Treasurer, and this was the only public 
 office he ever held, though he filled many positions of 
 honor and trust. 
 
 " He was a lawyer of recognized ability, giving the most 
 of his time to the drawing of legal papers and preparing 
 briefs, in which department he had probably no superior 
 in this city. He was a man of unblemished integrity, 
 and to the last enjoyed the esteem and confidence of all 
 who knew him. 
 
 He leaves a widow and two daughters, Mary and Gene- 
 vieve. The funeral service will take place to-night at his 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 277 
 
 late residence at 7:30, and will be conducted by K<\ . Dr. 
 
 Davis, of the First Congregational Church. On Thursday 
 morning the remains will be taken to Kalamaaoo :md 
 interred in the family burying ground."

 742. HONORABLE GEORGE AARON HINSDALE 7 (Mitchell 9 
 Aaron 5 Joseph 4 Isaac 3 Barnabas 2 Robert 1 ), Lieutenant- 
 Governor of Colorado, son of Judge Mitchell Hinsdale 
 and Dorothy Weed, his wife, born at Hinesburg, Vt., 
 December 21, 1826, died at Pueblo, Col., January 15, 
 1874. He was graduated from Michigan University, Ann 
 Arbor, in 1849. He married at Cloverport, Ky., October 
 9, 1856, Josephine Murray Sebastian, born at Clover- 
 port, Ky., May 5, 1834, fourth daughter of Doctor Charles 
 Benjamin Sebastian and Elizabeth Murray, his wife. A 
 year or two after his marriage, he came West and settled 
 in Dakota, Neb., where he engaged in the practice of law. 
 In 1859, he was elected and served as a member of the 
 Nebraska legislature from his district. He suffered from 
 asthma and in 1860 removed to Colorado, and was cured 
 of his malady. He first engaged in mining in California 
 Gulch, and in the fall of 1860, went to Canon City, which 
 had just been laid out as a wintering town for miners, 
 and he there built one of the first dwellings. In 1863 
 he settled in Pueblo, Col., when there were scarcely a 
 half dozen families there, living in the rudest of huts. In 
 1864, he removed to San Louis in Costilla County, where 
 he lived nearly two years, during which time he acquired 
 a good knowledge of the Spanish language, and in the sum- 
 mer of 1866, he moved back to Pueblo, where he engaged 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 279 
 
 in the practice of law, ami where he lived until hifl death. 
 At the election upon the adoption of the State Con.-titu- 
 tion in 1865, lie was elected Lieutenant Governor upon 
 the Democratic ticket, being the only Democrat elected 
 on the state ticket, and as such presided over the joint 
 session of the State Legislature which was held at Denver, 
 in 18G5, and which elected Governor John Evans and 
 Honorable Jerome B. Chaffee, United State Senators 
 under the enabling Act for state admission, the Bill for 
 which passed Congress but was vetoed by President John- 
 son. In 18G8, he was elected member of the Territorial 
 Council, and at the session of 1870, was chosen President 
 of that body. He was a member of the first board of 
 trustees of the town of Pueblo after its incorporation, and 
 at the time of his death, was president of the city School 
 Board, and County Attorney of Pueblo County. He 
 filled numerous offices of public trust and honor and was 
 identified with the history and growth of Southern 
 Colorado. One of the counties of the state bears his name. 
 In politics he was always a Democrat of the finest type, 
 and as one of the leaders of the party in Colorado, he 
 held the respect of his political opponents by his ability 
 no less than his sincerity, fidelity and conscientious in- 
 tegrity. His somewhat peculiar bent of mind, his un- 
 selfish nature, and his love of poetry and general litera- 
 ture divested him of all tendency to financial scheming 
 in business pursuits, and he was not, therefore, what may 
 be called a money-making man. He left three children, 
 one of whom was born a few hours after the death of the 
 father.

 Hinesburg, Vt., January 27, 1831, died at South Haven, 
 
280 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 Mich., April 11, 1896. She was married at Morris, 111., 
 by Rev. A. S. Kedzie, October 17, 1855, to George Fred- 
 erick Barstow, who was born at Burlington, Vt., Jan- 
 uary 5, 1823, and died at South Haven, Mich., May 18, 
 1873. The life of Mrs. Barstow showed in a remark- 
 able degree the power of aspiration and will to over- 
 come adverse circumstances and rise superior to them. 
 Trials and conditions that would have dwarfed and 
 stunted a smaller, less spiritual nature only broad- 
 ened and developed her rare abilities. The mother of a 
 large family, with limited means, care was her constant 
 companion, but never her master. Scrupulous in her 
 attention to the physical comfort of her family, she yet 
 found time to continually add to the acquirements of a 
 mind well trained and stored in youth, all that was latest 
 and best in the literature and science of her advanced 
 life, so that in her last days she was a wise counsellor and 
 instructor to her family and friends. Living remote from 
 the so-called "centers of culture," she yet became in her- 
 self a "center of culture" to all about her — an inspiration 
 to intellectual and moral good in the community in which 
 she lived. Rarely indeed, is the poet's ideal of 
 
 "A perfect woman, ,nobiy planned, 
 To counsel, comfort and command," 
 
 so nearly realized as in her character.

 754. CAROLINE CELESTIA TYRRELL 7 (Jerusha Hinsdale 9 
 
 Aaron 5 Joseph 4 Isaac 3 Barnabas 2 Robert 1 ), daughter of 
 Stephen Sanford Tyrrell and Jerusha Hinsdale, his 
 wife, born at Ferrisburg, Vt., March 10, 1826, died at 
 Kalamazoo, Mich., December 20, 1865, and was buried 
 there. She married July 5, 1853, at Indianapolis, Ind., 
 Jared Arnold, who was born at Haddam, Conn., August 
 16, 1809, and died at Providence, R. I., April 6, 1884. 
 He was warden in the hospital at Buffalo, N. Y., for more 
 than a year. He left there in the spring of 1863. Many 
 soldiers were brought there and the place was a difficult 
 one, owing to the amoimt of work to be done, the scarcity 
 of funds, the wretched way in which the business depart- 
 ment was managed, and the many defects in the building. 
 Mrs. Arnold assisted her husband, and to quote Dr. Miner, 
 the head surgeon, a man whom Europeans regarded as our 
 most skillful American surgeon, "She was worth any two 
 doctors on the staff." "She was the embodiment of 
 courage, sense and skill," he said, "a tower of strength." 
 This is a noble tribute, as he never said a word of praise 
 that was not earned again and again. Mrs. Arnold had 
 a bright, keen wit. She was a school teacher of great 
 ability, her explanations being easily understood.

 "Col. Chester B. Hinsdell, the quartermaster of the

 his son-in-law, Charles Fox, on Cherry Street. Mr. Hins- 
 dell had been ill for several weeks and more than two 
 weeks ago it was seen by his friends that the struggle for

 life was hopeless, and that death was only a matter of 
 days. 
 "Born in 1836, he assisted in the formation of the Old 
 
 Third cavalry in Grand Rapids at the breaking ou1 of the 
 Civil War. Going to the front as Captain, he rose to the

 768. HONORABLE HENRY .MYRON HINSDILL 7 (My- 
 ron 8 Aaron 5 Joseph 4 Isaac 3 Barnabas 2 Robert 1 ), son 
 of Myron Hinsdill and Emily Kellogg, his wife, born at 
 Grand Rapids, Mich., March 19, 1837, is said to have 
 been the second white child born there. He was married 
 at Grand Rapids, April 14, 1862, by Rev. S. N. Greeley, 
 to Mary French Jewett, born March 13, 1842, only 
 daughter of Henry and Mary Jewett. She is of Puritan 
 stock and a direct descendant of Peregrine White of "Pil- 
 grim Father" fame. Mr. HinsdilTs early life and boy- 
 hood were passed at Grand Rapids, where at the age of 
 17, he became clerk in the book store of John Terhune, 
 continuing with him for three years. At the end of that 
 time, his employer's business was destroyed by fire, and 
 he became Clerk in the Kent County Registrar's office, 
 and later, salesman for the then well-known drygoods 
 house of John Kendall & Co. In 1S59, he and his brother 
 
288 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 Chester opened a small book store in Grand Rapids, under 
 the name of Hinsdill Bros. Henry was at first alone in 
 the business, being proprietor, manager and clerk, 
 doing all the work himself. Later a small boy was hired 
 as clerk. The business prospered and the partnership 
 continued for several years, when other partners were 
 taken in and the business continued for a time under the 
 style of Hinsdill Bros. & Co. From 1865 to 1867 Henry 
 bought the interests of his brother and with other part- 
 ners conducted the business under his own name for three 
 years, during which time, it became the largest house of 
 its kind in the State. In 1870, he sold out to Eaton & 
 Lyon and entered the wholesale paper trade, manufac- 
 turing also stationers' goods. This business proved very 
 prosperous until 1873, when the "Great Panic" following 
 the Civil War came on, and he, in common with nearly 
 all others engaged in merchandising and manufacturing, 
 went down and the labor and savings of years were swept 
 in the general crash. In 1876, he was appointed United 
 States Circuit Clerk and General Examiner in Equity and 
 Master in Chancery for the Western District of Michigan , 
 which position he held for ten years until the death of Judge 
 Solomon L. Withey in 1886. In 1887, he engaged in man- 
 ufacturing until 1889, when and his wife Vent to Seattle, 
 Wash., where he dealt in real estate. The year following 
 found them in Park City, Utah, where he filled the posi- 
 tion of Secretary and Assistant Manager to the Crescent 
 Mining Co. They stayed at that place for two years, 
 after which, owing to misfortunes of the Company and 
 ill health of both himself and wife, they returned to Mich- 
 igan. In 1898, Mr. Hinsdill was designated Special Attor- 
 ney in the Department of Justice at Washington, D. C, 
 and travelled constantly for two years in that capacity in 
 seven of the Southern States, until the work assigned 
 him was completed. Thereafter, he re-engaged in book 
 selling, publishing and literary work, traveling extensively 
 in the South and Northwest representing two of the lead- 
 ing publishing houses of the country. He and his wife 
 united in 1859 with the First Congregational Church of 
 Grand Rapids and that church connection has never been 
 severed. Mr. Hinsdill is of an inventive turn of mind

 and has taken out several patents, most of them pertain- 
 ing to the book, stationery and kindred trades. Two of 
 his inventions have had an extensive sale, one <>f which 
 
 especially hearing his imprint, is now sold by booksellers 
 everywhere in this country and abroad, hike many an- 
 other inventor, he has not profited by them financially, 
 
 except in a small degree, bu1 takes a reasonable pride in 
 the fact that to some extent, at least, his devices have 
 added to the convenience of readers and writers. Mr. 
 and Mrs. Ilinsdill having no children, have been per- 
 mitted to travel much together in their own America and 
 have visited nearly every State in the Union, often re- 
 maining in representative towns, cities and localities for 
 a considerable time, thus gaining a knowledge of things, 
 social, general and geographical, not afforded to hasty 
 tourists. During all of the vicissitudes of fortune, they 
 have been separated but little. Their joys and sorrows 
 have been shared together, a privilege not afforded to all 
 lives so circumstanced. Their present residence is at 
 Grand Rapids.

 don, Ind., August 8, 1836, was married by Rev. J. P. 
 Safford, D. D., at New Albany, Ind., to Reverend Wil- 
 liam B. Truax of Chicago, 111., who was born at Paoli, 
 Orange County, Ind., March 7, 1829, and died at Perth 
 Amboy, N. J., February 23, 1885. He was a graduate of 
 Hanover College, Hanover, Inch, and in 1861, of the Pres- 
 byterian Theological Seminary of the Northwest at Chicago, 
 111., now McCormick Seminary. From 1S67 to 1872 he 
 was General Agent and Financial Secretary of the Presby- 
 terian Theological Seminary of the Northwest. From 
 1872 to 1877 he was Superintendent of Education among 
 the Indians in New Mexico and Arizona. In 1S7.S and 
 1879 he was a teacher at Paoli, Ind., and in 1S81 and 1SS2 
 Pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Cherry vale. Kan. 
 During most of his ministerial life he labored with marked 
 success in the line of educational work, but from 1S69 he 
 w r as greatly trammeled by disease, consumption, from which 
 
290 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 he died, having finished a most useful and upright 
 Christian life. Mrs. Truax was educated at a Ladies' 
 Seminary at New Albany, Ind., and at the Baptist College 
 at Kalamazoo, Mich. She taught for several years before 
 marriage. Having a taste for business, she greatly assisted 
 her husband as clerk, amanuensis and coypist, as disease 
 laid its heavy hand upon him. 
 
 To Mrs. Truax is due the credit of suggesting, as well as 
 promoting by her constant and unremitting effort the 
 compilation of this genealogy, for without her valuable 
 aid in gathering material for the work it could never have 
 been completed in its present form.

 From a daily newspaper : 
 
 "Detroit, January 14 — James Helm Stone, the eldest and 
 last living son of Mrs. Lucinda Hinsdale Stone, and himself 
 one of the best known men in Michigan, died at his 
 home in this city last night, after a lingering illness. 
 From a messenger boy in the State Senate, he worked him- 
 self up to the position of Secretary of the Senate and later 
 held several important positions by presidential appoint- 
 ment, besides making a long record as a newspaper man 
 in this city. 
 
 "He was born in Kalamazoo, July 19, 1847, and began 
 his career first as reporter and then editor and owner of 
 the Kalamazoo Telegraph. Later he bought the Port 
 Huron Times. He eventually came to Detroit and be- 
 came business manager and editor of the old Post and 
 Tribune, selling the paper in 1881. Soon after he was 
 appointed Collector of Internal Revenue, holding that posi- 
 tion six years, and later became United States appraiser. 
 
 "Since 1864 he had attended every important Republican 
 convention, with one exception. He ran for Congress in 
 1893, but was defeated by Levi T. Griffin. In spite of his 
 connection with politics he never drank nor smoked. 
 
 "The funeral will be held from the First Congregational 
 Church Friday morning."

 at Gouverneur, St. Lawrence County, N. Y. July 4, 181 7, 
 Moses Rich, who died at Brasher Falls, St. Lawrence 
 County, N. Y., in 18S2, aged 60 years. He was a fine 
 scholar, a good business man and an influential political 
 leader. He held responsible offices in Albany, N. Y., 
 for nine winters, and served as clerk of St. Lawrence 
 County, N. Y., for three years. He was a successful 
 manufacturer of woolen cloth at Brasher Falls. Mrs. Rich 
 is a poetess and lecturer, a lover of books and nature. 
 At the age of thirty-five, she was an advocate of woman's 
 suffrage — the first one in her county — St. Lawrence County, 
 N. Y. She had been a writer in prose and verse many 
 years prior to the war for the Union. When the w;ir 
 broke out, she delivered lectures on the war, on woman's 
 suffrage and on total abstinence, for four years. In 1S84, 
 she published a small volume of verse, "A Dream of 
 the Adirondacks, etc." which was favorably received, 
 the edition being exhausted in a year. Another volume 
 of poems, "Murillo's Slave and other Poems," appeared 
 in 1896. Her lecture, "Madame de Stael, the Rival of 
 Napoleon," has been delivered before man}- prominent 
 societies in the large cities of the United States. Of the 
 latter, the St. Louis Republic said : "This lady is possessei 1 
 of rare culture and treated her subject in a manner which 
 entranced one of the most refined and intellectual audi- 
 ences ever brought together in this city." Of her first 
 volume of poems, the New York Nation says: "The dia- 
 lect poems of Mrs. Rich are far above the average, com- 
 paring favorably with those of Bret Harte and John 
 Hay." Of the same volume the Springfield Republican 
 said: "It gained instant recognition from the press of 
 
310 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 the whole country as a worthy part of the poetry of Amer- 
 ica. Indeed, a first book of verse very seldom reaches any 
 such common judgment of approval, and it was justified 
 by the merits of the contents." Many other high 
 testimonials of the merit of her writings could be cited. 
 Mrs. Rich lives in Chicago, 111.

 in the common schools and then returned to the Hiram 
 Institute to study. He was an assistant teacher here for a 
 time, and he taught in various schools in Ohio until 1869, 
 when he returned to Hiram as a professor, and in 1870 be- 
 came president of the college. He remained there until 1882, 
 when he was elected superintendent of the public schools 
 of Cleveland, 0. In 1888 he became professor in the Uni-

 By Prof. Samuel Carroll Derby, A. M., 
 
 Professor of Latin, Ohio State University; Historian of 
 
 The "Old Northwest" Genealogical Society. 
 
 "The family to which Dr. Hinsdale belonged and gave 
 distinction, has been traced, in America, to Robert Hins- 
 dale, a Puritan yoeman, who was, as is believed, the emi- 
 grant ancestor of all the American Hinsdales. Robert 
 Hinsdale is known to have been one of the founders of the 
 church in Dedham, Mass., November 8, 163s ; was made 
 a freeman of the Colony of Massachusetts Hay. March 
 13, 1639, and became a member of the Artillery Company, 
 1645. 
 
 "His wife, Ann, was almost certainly the person to whom 
 Adams (Three Episodes in Massachusetts History; p. 
 753) refers, when, describing the Puritan method of ad- 
 mission to church membership, by public profession of 
 faith and confession of sin before the congregation, an 
 ordeal trying to the timid and now fortunately obsol< ■ 
 he quotes from the church records as follow-: 
 
 " 'The wife of our brother Hinsdell being fearful and not 
 able to speak in publike, but fainting away ther, coming 
 
316 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 to church in private gave good satisfaction; which being 
 publickly testified and declared, and she confirming the 
 same relation to be so, was received.' 
 
 "Robert Hinsdale removed from Dedham to Medfield, 
 Mass., and thence to Hadley, Mass., where he spent sev- 
 eral years and married as his second wife, Elizabeth, 
 widow of John Hawks. As early as 1671, he had gone 
 further up the valley of the Connecticut and settled at the 
 frontier town of Deerfield, in what is now known as the 
 'Yale' house. Of his sons, Barnabas and Samuel lived 
 on the 'Billings place.' Robert Hinsdale and his three 
 oldest sons, Barnabas, John and Samuel, were slain in 
 King Philip's War. One account states that they were 
 killed by the Indians, September 18, 1675, while at work 
 in their cornfield on Deerfield Meadows. A different ren- 
 dering is given by Bodge, in his book entitled 'Soldiers 
 in King Philip's War' (1896), who concludes that the 
 Hinsdales and several of their neighbors were with the 
 company of Capt. Lothrop, as teamsters and harvesters 
 when, after a night march the party was surprised by the 
 Indians lying in ambush at Muddy Brook (thence-forward 
 'Bloody Brook') crossing. The Hinsdales shared the 
 fate of the 'Flower of Essex,' on that 'black and fatal 
 day,' and were buried in the same grave with them. A 
 younger son, Experience, was the guide of Capt. William 
 Turner the following May (18th), in the 'Falls Fight.' 
 Ephraim Hinsdale, also, is mentioned in connection with 
 the hostilities in the Connecticut Valley. No family, per- 
 haps, suffered more in that desperate struggle with the 
 Indians than the Hinsdales, but the pioneer tendency of 
 the family was not permanently checked by the violent 
 death of four of its members. 
 
 "Barnabas Hinsdale, son of that Barnabas who had fallen 
 in the massacre at Bloody Brook, and of his wife, Sarah 
 Taylor White, went southward and settled at Hartford, 
 Conn., and married there, Martha Smith. Nine children 
 were born to them; the third of these, Jacob, was one of 
 first settlers of Harwinton, in western Connecticut, upon 
 lands inherited from his father. 
 
 "Jacob Hinsdale, who married Hannah Seymour, was a 
 useful and prominent man in his community, served in 
 
HINSDALE <;K\I.\I.<h;\ 317 
 
 the French War, received a captain's oommiasion, and 
 was elected to various offices by his townsmen. Il<-, too, 
 had nine children. The eldest, Jacob, married Mary 
 Brace and settled Brsl in Earwinton, birl removed about 
 1771 to Canaan. Conn., where he died aboui the beginning 
 of the War of 1812. One of the earliest recollections of 
 
 Albert Hinsdale was that of going to his grandfather's 
 
 funeral 'in Priest Gillett's hack; 'Priesl Gillett' was the 
 clergyman of the town. 
 
 ''The second son of Jacob and Mary (Brace) Hinsdale, 
 Elisha, was born in Harwinton, Conn., February 28, 1761, 
 and died in Norton, Ohio, June 22, 1S27. At Canaan, a 
 lad of sixteen, he enlisted in the Continental army and 
 spent three years, including the terrible winter at Valley 
 Forge, in the service of his country. Compelled by broken 
 health to leave the army, he turned to mechanical and 
 manufacturing pursuits, and in 1816 removed to Ohio. 
 The journey was no slight undertaking; four stout oxen 
 drew his household goods and eight weeks were spent 
 upon the road to 'New Connecticut.' The qualities 
 which had caused Elisha Hinsdale to be esteemed in New 
 England soon gained recognition in Ohio, where he served 
 as a justice of the peace as long as his health permitted. 
 Soon after his arrival at Norton, O., he built a house 
 which was described as the best in town, 'for the logs 
 were butted off and were hewn on the inside.' His son 
 remembered that before the next winter came, 'the house 
 was chinked and daubed; we had a good puncheon floor 
 overhead, a stick chimney from the floor up, planed doors 
 and glass windows (the glass brought from Connecti- 
 cut).' Their list of native fruits was short: 'Mandrakes, 
 pumpkins, and crab apples.' 
 
 "The first wife of Elisha Hinsdale was Asenath Han i 
 who left him five little boys. He had three children by 
 his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Holcomb 
 of Granby, Conn., of whom Albert was the second, from 
 whom we have quoted, who is described as a man of 
 marked individuality, excellent judgment and keen in- 
 sight into the character and motives of men. His circum- 
 stances were such as to restrict his school education to the 
 rudiments. 'For a man of such a life, he had more than 
 
318 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 an ordinary taste for literature. Nature gave him the 
 power of literary creation, but nurture withheld the oppor- 
 tunity; still the local newspaper often bore witness of his 
 quaintness of thought, his closeness of observation, and his 
 pictorial description.' His mental attitude is illustrated 
 by his own words, written near the end of his life: 'Im- 
 provements will still go on Although there are bad men 
 in the world and many things not as they should be, still 
 the world is evidently growing better.' The wife of Albert 
 Hinsdale was Clarinda Elvira, daughter of Judge William 
 and Polly (Derthick) Eyles, born in Akron, 0., July 12, 
 1815, but of Connecticut stock. Respecting her, I bor- 
 row the words of her son, the subject of this sketch: 
 
 "' The basis of her mental character was strength. Some 
 of her intellectual and moral qualities were of the highest 
 order. Her opportunities for schooling were those of her 
 time and place — very small as measured by the standard 
 of to-day — and she never had the mental resources that 
 training and literature confer. Her kingdom was her 
 home ; here she ruled with qualities that were truly regal. 
 In neatness, despatch, and thoroughness, her housekeep- 
 ing went beyond perfection. Her fertility of resource, 
 her ability to plan or (as she would say) "contrive"; her 
 ambition, her strength of will, her resoluteness of purpose, 
 her chivalrous courage and immortal hope, her lofty 
 spirit, and her unfaltering devotion to duty, the writer 
 has never seen surpassed on any field of action.' 
 
 "The ancestry of Dr. Hinsdale has now been traced from 
 the first arrival of the family in America to the settlement 
 of one of its branches in Ohio. 
 
 "Evidence is not lacking that other lines were equally 
 fruitful in men of substantial worth. At least two New 
 England towns owe their names to collateral members of 
 this family. Hinsdale, New Hampshire, commemorates 
 the efficient service of Col. Ebenezer Hinsdale (Harvard, 
 1727), of Deerfield, who, trained and ordained to the min- 
 istry, was certainly a member of the church militant and 
 fought valiantly to protect the border settlements of 
 Massachusetts on the upper Connecticut. Hinsdale, Mas- 
 sachusetts, keeps alive the memory of Rev. Theodore 
 Hinsdale (Yale, 1762), son of John Hinsdale of Berlin, 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 319 
 
 Conn., who, after serving 28 years as pastor at Windsor 
 in that state, spent his old age in western Massachusi 
 and died there, his good service ended, December 28, 1818. 
 "From similar ancestry and like conditions many Ameri- 
 cans of unusual merit have sprung. Some generatioi 
 simple, strenuous, outdoor living are, apparently, an 
 almost invariable antecedent of persons of unusual ability 
 and marked character. American civilization has thus 
 
 far found no satisfactory substitute for such forbears and 
 
 such external circumstances. No other conditions have 
 given equal vigor and endurance, or been so prolific in 
 men of sterling worth. 
 
 "Burke Aaron Hinsdale, son of AJbert and Clarinda 
 Elvira (Eyles) Hinsdale, was born at Wadsworth, .Medina 
 County, 0., March 31, 1837, and died at Atlanta, Ga., 
 November 29, 1900. He was the second of five children, 
 and the eldest son. He grew up amid the toil and strug- 
 gles of a pioneer household, but located amid ever im- 
 proving conditions and a widening outlook. Mr. Hins- 
 dale's early education was gained in the district school. 
 He was a bright and studious boy who early had the 
 courage to protect smaller boys from the bullying pro- 
 pensities of their larger fellows. In a debating society 
 connected with the district school of the neighborhood, 
 he took a prominent part and won local renown for cogent 
 arguments. Two or three of his early teachers are still 
 alive: Mr. Cyrus King, of Medina, O., Mr. Lafayette 
 Waffle, and Mrs. M. (Weeks) Henry of Akron, who 'taught 
 him his letters' in the old-time way. 
 
 "At the age of sixteen (in 1853) he was sent to the newly- 
 established Western Reserve Eclectic Institute, which by 
 a natural growth became, in 1867, Hiram College. One 
 of his latest papers was an historical address which he 
 wrote for the semi-centennial of the Institute — an ad- 
 dress that, coming from the writer's heart, and specially 
 intended for the founders and friends of Hiram 0oll< 
 has interest and value for more than those who have per- 
 sonal relations with the Institute and its successor. The 
 paper is a luminous and suggestive account of an import- 
 ant phase of the educational movement in Ohio, fifty 
 years ago. At the Institute, to which Mr. Hinsdale went 
 
320 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 in November, 1853, 'the social environment was bald 
 and realistic to a degree almost to defy idealization.' Of 
 the instructors, Mr. Hinsdale says, that they had educa- 
 tion adequate to their work, that they were skillful teach- 
 ers and that they devoted themselves, heart and soul, to 
 their students. Of one of these instructors (Almeda 
 Booth) he wrote that he considered her 'the most master- 
 ful woman teacher' he had ever known. At the Insti- 
 tute Mr. Hinsdale met Mr. Garfield, who was a few years 
 his senior; these gifted young men soon formed a life- 
 long friendship. In 1857 Mr. Garfield became the head 
 of the Institute and under his leadership there came a 
 new era at Hiram; 'more attention was now given to 
 education as education, and less attention to making 
 preachers.' Some friction and heat attended the change. 
 
 "Mr. Hinsdale was a hard student who read eagerly in 
 a wide range of subjects. A singularly retentive memory 
 aided him in gaining a vast store of accurate information. 
 His first teaching was done in a district school in the town- 
 ship of Franklin, Summit County, in the autumn of 1855 
 and following winter; and the three succeeding winters at 
 other places in that part of Ohio. He taught district 
 schools winters only; the remainder of the year was spent 
 in study at Hiram, or in work upon the home farm. In 
 1860 Mr. Hinsdale began to teach at Hiram as a pupil 
 assistant, and thus defrayed a part of his expenses. It 
 is to be hoped that they were proportionate to his com- 
 pensation. 'I remember distinctly,' he writes, 'that when 
 I began to teach Algebra here in 1860 the syndicate paid 
 me $16.00 a term, for one class, or about a dollar a week.' 
 
 "Two years later he married, and with the aid of his 
 wife, taught for one year a 'select school,' at Sharon, 
 Medina County, and the next year, aided by his sister, 
 Louise, a similar school at Solon, Cuyahoga County. He 
 preached, also, for a time at Solon, and afterwards at 
 Cleveland, where he assisted in editing 'The Christian 
 Standard,' but after he entered upon college work, in 
 1868, he preached less frequently; he felt that his proper 
 vocation was that of teacher and author, though during 
 his presidency at Hiram, his pulpit discourses were highly 
 acceptable to thoughtful hearers. 
 
HINSDALE GENEALO 321 
 
 "In 1870 Mr. Hinsdale was chosen President of Hiram 
 College. Though only thirty-three yean old, the new 
 President was without question the natural sucees.-or of 
 l leneral I larfield. For twelve yean Mr. Hinsdale held this 
 
 arduous and honorable position, and in it toiled terribly. 
 He was at once professor, lecturer, preacher, author, ad- 
 ministrator, and financier. Three work- ol a theological 
 cast were published by him during the yean he wt 
 Hiram: 'The Genuineness and Authenticity of the I I 
 1872; 'The Jewish-Christian Church,' 187s; and 'Ecclesias- 
 tical Tradition,' 1879. Some other papen written during 
 these years appeared in 'Schools and Studies,' 1884 
 
 "Mr. Hinsdale naturally was deeply interested in the 
 nomination of his close friend, General Garfield, for t lie 
 presidency, and at the request of the Republican National 
 Committee, prepared a 'Campaign Text-book,' and made 
 several speeches in Ohio and Indiana. After the death 
 of General Garfield, Mr. Hinsdale published a book with 
 a biographical introduction, entitled, 'President Garfield 
 and Education,' 1882, and the following year collected 
 and edited General Garfield's works in two volumes. 
 
 "In the spring of 18S2 Mr. Hinsdale, more to his own 
 surprise than to that of those who were aware of his rap- 
 idly growing reputation, was tendered the superin tend- 
 ency of the Cleveland public schools. After some hesita- 
 tion he accepted this unexpected call, entered upon that 
 larger field in the autumn of 1882, and held the position 
 for four years. Mr. Hinsdale began this new work with a 
 characteristic vigor and made a careful study of the con- 
 dition and needs of the schools under his charge. Many 
 of his suggestions are contained in his annual reports, 
 which did not follow the stereotyped lines of most school 
 reports. They appealed strongly to thoughtful educa- 
 tors. For the more immediate aid of the teachers a pam- 
 phlet, the 'Cleveland School Bulletin,' was issued monthly. 
 It seems clear that Mr. Hinsdale modified the school 
 tern of Cleveland in a wholesome fashion, though at first 
 he may have been less familiar with details of adminis- 
 tration than men of different experience. The fact that 
 four years after Mr. Hinsdale left Cleveland, overt 
 were made looking toward- his return thither is g 1 
 
322 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 evidence that his services in that city were not unappre- 
 ciated by those who directed its school system. 
 
 "A high authority in education says: 'His writings 
 from the beginning were very valuable as exciting a pro- 
 founder habit of thinking with regard to educational theory 
 and practice in the common schools.' In later years Mr. 
 Hinsdale wrote less upon educational theory, more upon 
 the history of education in this country, a field in which 
 his contributions are of permanent value and the latest 
 are the best. In this field Mr. Hinsdale had no superior 
 and hardly a second. 
 
 "At the end of his service in Cleveland Mr. Hinsdale's 
 reputation was such that in 1887 he was elected professor 
 of the Science and the Art of Teaching in the University 
 of Michigan. He began his duties February, 1888, and 
 held that position the remainder of his life. In the interval 
 between his superintendency at Cleveland and his going 
 to Ann Arbor, Mr. Hinsdale wrote The Old North West/ 
 perhaps his most important and widely known work; a 
 revised edition of it appeared in 1899. 
 
 "Dr. Hinsdale's interest in history was influential in 
 shaping his instruction in education ; he dwelt by prefer- 
 ence upon the history of educational development rather 
 than on present educational theories, though the latter 
 were not neglected in his lectures. 
 
 "Dr. Hinsdale found at Ann Arbor his true place, and 
 his life there was happy and fruitful beyond any previous 
 measure. There is the best evidence that while at the 
 University of Michigan he was counted peculiarly sane 
 and free from 'fads' in his teaching, a valuable and faith- 
 ful college officer, a strong debater who persuaded by 
 force of argument rather than by the graces of oratory, a 
 man of untiring industry sustained by a robust constitu- 
 tion, which enabled him to produce numerous volumes 
 on various subjects, not to mention frequent contribu- 
 tions to periodicals, reports made to various associations, 
 and public addresses on many themes. 
 
 "Pressed by all these burdens, Dr. Hinsdale took a full 
 share of the multifarious duties which devolve upon the 
 members of an active college faculty. There is no doubt 
 that he overtaxed his unusual strength and shortened 
 
HINSDALE GEXKALOCY 32a 
 
 his life l.v excessive toiL Bow prolific his labors m an 
 author were, is seen by the li-t of bifl books published 
 after he wen1 to Ann Arbor: 
 
 "'The American I lovernment' | L801 1, 'How to Study 
 and Teach History' (1893), 'Jesu Teacher 1 (18! 
 
 Teaching the Language Arts' (1896), 'Studies in Edu- 
 cation' (1S9G), 'Civil Government of Ohio' (1896) life 
 of Horace Mann' (1S98), The Art of Study 1 (1901 . 
 which Superintendent Maxwell styles Trofessor M 
 dale's most important contribution to educational 
 theory.' 
 
 " Premature death prevented Dr. Hinsdale from com- 
 pleting two historical works in which lie was deeply in- 
 terested and which he believed would be quite as worthy 
 of the attention of intelligent reader- as any of his pre- 
 vious books; one would probably have borne the name, 
 'Title Deeds to the United States.' This was essentially 
 a history of the territorial growth of the United States. 
 Dr. Hinsdale, as early as 1886-87, had prepared a course 
 of lectures which would serve as a basis to such a work; 
 these were S''x in number with the titles: 1. The Discovery 
 of America, and its division among the maritime nations 
 of Western Europe; 2. The English and French in North 
 America; 3. Independent America; 4. The Acquisition of 
 Louisiana and Florida ; 5. From Texas to Alaska ; 6. 
 The Northwest Territory, and the Western Reserve. It 
 is to be hoped that his daughter, who of late years has 
 been associated with her father in some of his historical 
 works, may feel justified in completing and publishing this 
 one. The other work in contemplation was a history of 
 education in this country, a task which no other American 
 was better qualified by training and natural gifts to under- 
 take. Dr. Hinsdale had in hand, also, material for a his- 
 tory of education in Ohio. 
 
 "Fortunately, his 'History of the University of Michi- 
 gan' was in a more complete state and will soon be wit 
 to his careful research. 
 
 "Dr. Hinsdale's merit gained academic recognition 
 and he was given the degree of A. M. by Bethany and 
 Williams Colleges, that of Ph. D. by the Ohio Mate I'niver- 
 sity (1S87), and the degree of LL. D. by Ohio University. 
 
324 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 "He held membership in the Michigan State Teachers' 
 Association and Schoolmasters' Club, and in the National 
 Educational Association, of whose Council he was Presi- 
 dent in 1897, and was one of the Committee of Twelve on 
 Rural Schools. In addition to these professional rela- 
 tions, Dr. Hinsdale was a member of the Historical and 
 Archaeological Society of Ohio, an early and interested 
 member of the 'Old Northwest' Genealogical Society, a 
 part of whose name was borrowed from Dr. Hinsdale's 
 best known work, an honorary member of the Historical 
 Society of Virginia, and a member of the American His- 
 torical Association, and was connected with other educa- 
 tional and religious societies. 
 
 "A bibliography of his numerous books and contributions 
 to periodicals and reports to various associations is given 
 in The Educational Review' (February), 1901, pp. 197- 
 199. Partial lists of his historical papers and pamphlets 
 may be found in the annual reports of the American His- 
 torical Association, especially in that of 1889, pp. 277-279. 
 Careful sketches of Dr. Hinsdale, prepared by competent 
 hands, are, also, to be found in the 'Educational Review,' 
 for February and March, 1901. These naturally are 
 largely concerned with his work in education. 
 
 "Dr. Hinsdale married, May 24, 1862, Mary Eliza Turner, 
 whose family stock was in many respects similar to his 
 own; they had been students together at the Eclectic 
 Institute. Dr. Hinsdale is survived by his wife and three 
 daughters ; Ellen Clarinda and Mary Louisa took the A. B. 
 degree in 1885 at Adelbert College of Western Reserve 
 University (then coeducational). Both later received 
 Masters' degrees from the University of Michigan, and 
 Ellen, after passing the years 1893-96 at the Universities 
 of Leipsic and Gottingen, received from the latter the 
 degree of Ph. D. Miss Hinsdale is said to have been the 
 first woman to receive that degree from Gottingen in the 
 department of Philology. Since 1897 she has been pro- 
 fessor of German at Mt. Holyoke College. Miss Mary L. 
 Hinsdale has been joint author with her father, of the 
 Ohio and Pennsylvania volumes of the State Government 
 Series of school books, and has shared Dr. Hinsdale's 
 historical studies. Mildred Hinsdale was graduated from 
 
hinsdau-: <ii;\i:\Lo(iv 326 
 
 Michigan University, in 189J5 and is a teacher in the < 1 
 
 inil Bigh School, Detroit. Mi.-li. 
 
 "During Dr. Hinsdale's visit to Europe, ivn 82, he 
 
 made a careful study of the school systems of various 
 European States, and the Bret account of Italian schools 
 under the new kingdom, published in the United States, 
 
 was prepared by him. 
 
 "Dr. Hinsdale's early death seems to have Keen due to 
 
 overwork. He returned from the meeting of the Na- 
 tional Educational Association held at Charleston, 8. C, 
 ill with tonsilitis; this was followed, after exceptionally 
 
 hard work during the hot summer, by greal loss of 
 strength and a return of the throat trouble; a journey 
 
 to the South, taken a few days before his death, probably 
 only hastened the end. There was no active malady, 
 his mind retained its vigor until the last, and his plans 
 for work were unabated. 
 
 "In education, Dr. Hinsdale was an early and prominent 
 advocate of more opportunity for the individualism of the 
 student; the schools, he said, 'handle classes better than 
 they teach pupils.' He was one of the first to disc 
 the correlation of related subjects; he saw with exceptional 
 clearness the necessity of making the civilizing and re- 
 fining studies stronger in the elementary schools, by sup- 
 plementary reading and other means. 
 
 "Dr. Hinsdale was, also, quick to see and urge the ne 
 sity for special school laws for our city systems, whose 
 failings none saw more clearly or discussed more sanely 
 and wisely. In all that he said and wrote a massive com- 
 mon sense was as conspicuous as his learning and intense 
 earnestness. 
 
 "Physically Dr. Hinsdale was noteworthy for a sturdy 
 frame and the appearance of strength and endurance. 
 He was not a person with whom one would take liberties; 
 strangers often thought him somewhat blunt and cold in 
 manner, not understanding the absolute honesty and 
 frankness of his character which those who knew him well 
 valued at their true worth. 
 
 "In Dr. Hinsdale inherited qualities and tendencies found 
 ample expression; his tireless industry, his almost brusque 
 frankness; love of books, fertility as a writer, inclination 
 
326 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 to radical thinking and conservative utterance, small pa- 
 tience with cant, 'fads' and fools, candid study, rugged 
 character, deep religious nature — all are more or less dis- 
 tinctly outlined in his ancestry. In him nature and cir- 
 cumstances were happily united to produce the accom- 
 plished scholar and the strong man. We may safely 
 adopt President AngelTs well-considered words: 
 
 " 'He was generous in his judgments of others, but inde- 
 pendent and fearless in forming and expressing his opin- 
 ions of measures, whether educational, political, or relig- 
 ious. There was a noble manliness in him, an upright 
 and downright integrity of make, an inspiring devotion 
 to whatever is uplifting for men, which commanded uni- 
 versal respect and esteem, and which will make his memory 
 ever dear to all of us who had the good fortune to know 
 him.' "

 Copy of a Biography of Alfred Hinsdale Andrews, writ- 
 ten about 1890, typewritten, and found among old papers: 
 
 A. H. Andrews, who has achieved high position as an 
 enterprising Chicago business man, is the third son of 
 Alfred and Mary L. (Shipman) Andrews, both of sterling 
 integrity and highly esteemed. He was born in New 
 Britain, Connecticut, December 25, 1836. His grand- 
 father on his father's side was an officer in the war of 
 1812. His mother's father was a brass manufacturer, 
 conducting that business for many years in New Britain. 
 Deacon Alfred Andrews, the father of the subject of our 
 sketch, was at one time an extensive manufacturer in 
 wood, iron and leather. Later in life, as a diversion, he 
 turned his attention to literary pursuits, and prepared 
 and published three large works, two of them genealog- 
 ical, and all of them showing much labor and careful re- 
 search. 
 
 Mr. Andrews attended the common, high and normal 
 schools of his native town, and when sixteen years of age 
 entered the Suffield Institute (Conn.). When not in 
 school, the youth spent his time on the farm at the old 
 homestead, and devoted much attention to the study of 
 mechanics. In 1854, he became a travelling agent for 
 the New York Independent and in that capacity visited 
 Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. The West offered such 
 advantages to young men of energy, that Mr. Andrews 
 determined to settle at Beloit, in the last named state. 
 After a year's residence here, however, ill health sug- 
 gested the advisability of his returning to his native state,

 invitation to the young man, and in a ahort time !■<• again 
 turned his face toward the Betting bud This time he 
 located in Chicago and engaged in the Bchool-furnishing 
 business with the Holbrook s.hool Apparatus Company. 
 He remained with this company eighl years, when h«' 
 formed a partnership with 8. Bigelow, under the firm 
 name of Andrews & Bigelow. In a short time, however, 
 the name of the firm was changed to A. II. Andrews a I 
 which name it has borne ever sine-. 
 
 Since the spring of 1884, the firm lias l>een a corpora- 
 tion, with Mr. A. H. Andrews as its president. From the 
 beginning the business of the house has been very pros- 
 perous, showing a high degree of business ability and in- 
 tegrity in its management. The firm of Andrew- & 
 Bigelow had but four thousand dollars capital at its in- 
 ception, and yet the first year it did a business of fifty 
 thousand dollars. To-day the company represents one of 
 the most flourishing and useful manufacturing indusl 
 in Chicago, involving a capital of one million dollars, em- 
 ploying twelve hundred men and turning out annually 
 two million dollars worth of goods. It is very much the 
 largest establishment of the kind in the country and per- 
 haps in the world. 
 
 The company occupies elegant quarters in the Audi- 
 building on Wabash Avenue, in which are the offices, the 
 map-mounting rooms, salesrooms and shipping room- for 
 apparatus. The company operates factories in Chi< 
 and Buffalo, N. Y., the plant at each place occupying an 
 entire square. It also maintains branch houses in New 
 York and San Francisco, and agencies in all the impor- 
 tant cities in the world. While Mr. Andrews, as the head 
 of the great house, has made his energy and personal abil- 
 ities felt in every department of the bu-ii • 1 while 
 much of the company's success has been the result of bis 
 own sterling qualities, his executive ability has been shown 
 in no way more clearly than by his selection of mei 
 business associates who are possessed i a diversit] 
 talent, to which fact is to be attributed much of the j 
 
344 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 perity of the house. Like a competent general Mr. An- 
 drews places the right man in the right place, and the 
 details of a large and complicated business are managed 
 harmoniously and efficiently. Mr. Andrews is a gentle- 
 man of large sympathies and a fine sense of justice, which 
 traits of character have also greatly aided his prosperity, 
 for they have always assured the most friendly relations 
 between him and his army of employes, as well as between 
 him and the public at large. 
 
 Though Mr. Andrews has never held office or taken an 
 active part in politics, he has always been a consistent 
 Republican. 
 
 He is a regulai attendant of the Plymouth Congrega- 
 tional Church, and has been almost continuously since 
 he first came to Chicago, in 1857. He was in full accord 
 with the bold anti-slavery stand maintained by this Church 
 before and during the War. 
 
 Mr. Andrews is spoken of by his relatives as very loyal 
 and kind to his kindred, and ready to aid those not so 
 successful in life as himself. Speaking of "success," how- 
 ever, in his, as in most cases, it has not come as mere 
 good luck, but only through the closest application and 
 remitting zeal.

 ter of Deacon William Lyman of Middlefield, Conn. Mr.

 icut. He is president of the Lyman (inn Sight Corpora-

 From History of Middlesex County, Conn.: 
 "Hon. Lyman Allen Mills was born in Middlefield (tl 
 a part of Middletown), Middlesex County. Conn., Febru- 
 ary 25, 1841, the son of Rev. Charles Lewis Mill-, a Con- 
 gregational minister, a graduate of Yale College in the 
 class of 1835, and Elizabeth Coe Lyman, daughter of Wil- 
 liam Lyman, of Middlefield. Conn. He come- from old 
 New England stock, descending through both his father 
 and mother from Robert Coe, of the County of Suffolk, 
 England, who emigrated to this country in L634. Through 
 
346 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 his father he is descended from John and Priscilla Alden, 
 of the "Mayflower" pilgrims (1620). His mother, Eliza- 
 beth Coe Lyman, was a descendant of Thomas Welles, 
 fourth governor of the Colony of Connecticut, who served 
 in 1655 and 1658; and of Richard Lyman, who came to 
 America from High Ongar, County of Essex, England, in 
 1631. Mr. Mills is nephew of the late David Lyman. 
 
 "In boyhood Lyman A. Mills attended the academies 
 of Durham, Conn., and North Bridgewater, Mass., and 
 early developed an aptitude for business and financial 
 affairs. He has devoted himself chiefly to manufactur- 
 ing and to the care and management of various proper- 
 ties and estates, in which his great energy and native 
 ability have won for him signal success. A Republican 
 in politics, Mr. Mills represented his town in the General 
 Assembly of 1895, serving on the Committee on Finance. 
 In November, 1898, he was elected Lieutenant-Governor 
 of the State of Connecticut, by a handsome majority — 
 Middlesex Comity gave to him her largest vote given at 
 that time upon the State ticket. Lieutenant-Governor 
 Mills was an eminently successful presiding officer of the 
 Senate. His integrity and fidelity in every trust have 
 gained for him an honorable reputation, and secured the 
 confidence and respect of the people of his State. He is 
 president of the Lyman Gun Sight Corporation, a director 
 of the American Wringer Company, a trustee of the Middle- 
 town Savings Bank, and president of the Levi E. Coe 
 Library Association, and holds other positions of trust 
 and responsibility. He has been identified with the Con 
 gregational Church in Middlefield, and interested in its 
 management for forty years. On June 6, 1866, Mr. Mills 
 married Jane Louisa, daughter of Deacon Alfred Andrews, 
 of New Britain, Conn., the author of the 'Andrews Family 
 Genealogy,' 'Stephen Hart and his Descendants/ and 
 the 'History of New Britain.' Mrs. Mills traces her 
 lineage to the emigrant ancestors Thomas Hooker; 
 Thomas Welles, fourth governor of the Connecticut Colony; 
 William Leete, seventh governor of the Connecticut Col- 
 ony, and Capt. Thomas Willet, one of the Plymouth 
 Pilgrims, who became the first mayor of New York."

 four years he was State Dairy Commissioner of Iowa, his 
 term expiring May 1, 1898. Entering upon his duties by 
 appointment of Governor Jackson, his service was so 
 notably successful, that Governor Drake reappointed him 
 in deference to the earnestly expressed wishes of the dairy 
 people and in obvious furtherance of the best interests 
 of the state. Under his administration, his department 
 of the state government has been of markedly increasing 
 value to the public; and both at home and abroad the 
 dairy interest of Iowa has had a capable and acceptable 
 representative. The Governor-elect made tender of reap- 
 pointment both by letter and in person. Mr. Boardman, 
 however, though enjoying the duties and responsibilities 
 of his office, was w r earied of its burdens, and elected at the 
 expiration of his term to become a private citizen of Ne- 
 vada.

 1379. ELLEN JEANNETTE DEAN 8 (Althea Fay Hinsdale 7 
 Hiram 8 Joseph 5 Joseph 4 Isaac 3 Barnabas 2 Robert 1 ), daughter 
 of Lewis Denison Dean and Althea Fay Hinsdale, his wife, 
 born at Cannonsburg, Mich., April. 8, 1846, is unmarried. 
 In 1897 she was living at Grand Rapids, Mich. After the 
 death of her father in 1849, her mother removed to Monk- 
 ton, Vt., where she died, Nov. 28, 1853. Here Ellen spent 
 her early youth. The people, as well as the beautiful 
 scenery of Vermont have always been the dearest possession 
 of her memory, which may perhaps account for her impa- 
 tience under the vulgar caricatures of the "Josiah Allen's 
 Wife" stamp. She was in the far west during the Civil 
 War, where the loudest echo which reached her of the tumult 
 in the east came from the flying feet of the Pony Express, 
 and the drum which beat for the enlistment of a few sol- 
 diers. She returned to the east in 1864, in a steamer which 
 had the honor of being chased for a short time by a Con- 
 federate steamer flying the English flag. In 1866 she re- 
 turned to Nevada by coach, taking about three weeks 
 between Chicago and Virginia City. In January, 1878, 
 she began teaching in the Grand Rapids High School, 
 under Mr. Strong as Principal. Her life now became one 
 of study and teaching. To break the monotony of con- 
 tinual instruction she has been four times abroad. The 
 second time she stayed one year, most of the time at Leip- 
 sic. Her last visit to Europe was from May, 1892 to 
 August, 1893. Much of that time was spent in France 
 and Italy. In 1893 she resumed her teaching in the Grand 
 Rapids High School at Grand Rapids, Mich. Her life 
 as a teacher has been a most thorough one, and she is held 
 in the highest regard by all with whom she is associated.

 father of the first child born in Northampton, Mass. Levi 
 Parsons Morton was educated at Shoreham academy; 
 was employed in a country store at Enfield, Mass., 1838- 
 40; taught school at Boscawen, N. H., 1840-41; was clerk 
 in the general store of W. W. Esterbrook, in Concord, 
 N. H., and in 1842 was given charge of a branch store at 
 Hanover. Upon the failure of Mr. Esterbrook, Morton 
 became a clerk in the employ of Mr. Beebe of New York; 
 and in 1845, on reaching his majority, bought out Beebe's 
 interest and engaged in the business for himself. He re- 
 moved to Boston, Mass., in 1849, to accept a partnership 
 with Mr. Beebe in the dry goods business, and in 1854 
 established the drygoods house of Morton & Grinnell, in 
 New York City. The firm failed in 1861, and in 1862 
 he established the banking and brokerage house of L. P. 
 Morton & Co., with Charles W. McCune as partner, and 
 when Mr. McCune withdrew in 1863, Mr. Morton estab- 
 lished the London house of Morton, Burns & Co. In 
 1868 George Bliss became a member of the New York 
 house, the firm name being changed to Morton, Bliss & 
 Co., and Sir John Rose entered the London house, which 
 became Morton, Rose & Co., the Geneva award of 
 $15,500,000 being paid through this house. The firm was 
 also conspicuous for a large sale of New York Central 
 stock belonging to Cornelius Vanderbilt, to English pur- 
 chasers. The firm of Morton, Bliss & Co. headed the 
 syndicate formed to fund the national debt in 1896, and

 .Mr. Hinsdale took a very great interest in everything 
 pertaining to this genealogy, and the Hon. S. C. Hinsdale in 
 a letter to the Editor says: "He always showed inc the 
 greatest kindness in seconding my efforts to find data f<>r 
 the work, and to him we owe the discovery of the account 
 of the French branch of the Family. Too much praise can- 
 not be awarded him for much good work." 
 
 From the Daily Union, Atlantic City, N. ./.,./'// 
 
 "The Union is indebted to Comrade S. B. Eh 9dak 
 Post 85, Woodbridge, official stenographer of the 
 ment of New Jersey, G. A. R., for court! led the 
 
 past few days. Mr. Hinsdale has been official reporter 
 12 years. It never seemed labor for him to do a favor. 
 we take pleasure in thus publicly r- bis m 
 
 attentions." 
 
 From The Daily Horn* A- I •• N. /., 
 
 December 28, 1903:

 evening at his home at Woodbridge after a short illness. 
 Death was due to pneumonia. Mr. Hinsdale was here last 
 Monday and while at court suffered a congestive chill. He 
 was compelled to retire to his home. He tried to ward off 
 an attack of pneumonia, but was not successful. The 
 announcement of his death here this morning was a great 
 shock to all who knew him. 
 
 " Mr. Hinsdale was one of the best known stenographers 
 in the country. He has been the official reporter in many 
 of the cases of national interest, including the Lexow and 
 Mazet investigations. He has acted as interpreter in all 
 sorts of cases, from the police courts in New York to the 
 United States inquiries. 
 
 " His long experience in this class of work, where he saw 
 men and women of all character, and heard recitals of all 
 of the phases of life, did not harden him, but rather created 
 in him a tender, sympathetic nature, which showed itself 
 plainly. He was an officer of the Society for the Preven- 
 tion of Cruelty to Animals and as such did good work in 
 his locality. 
 
 " He was one of the most influential men of the G. A. R. 
 of Woodbridge and was a past commander of the post there. 
 
 " Besides his court work, he was associated with a promi- 
 nent firm of stenographers of New York, engaged in miscel- 
 laneous work. 
 
 "A wife and two children survive Mr. Hinsdale." 
 
 From the Perth Amboy News, December 29, 1903: 
 
 "The funeral of S. B. Hinsdale will be held from the 
 Congregational Church, Woodbridge, at 2 o'clock Thursday 
 afternoon. 
 
 " The sorrow and regret caused by the news of Mr. Hins- 
 dale's death extended far beyond the community in which 
 he lived. Through his connection with the Grand Army, 
 and as official stenographer in the courts of Middlesex and 
 Monmouth counties, he was well known throughout the 
 State. Few citizens of New Jersey have been more useful. 
 Few could be more sincerely mourned. 
 
 " Mr. Hinsdale was born in Princeton, 111., March 27, 1847. 
 Though only fourteen years old when the civil war broke 
 out he was on fire with enthusiasm for the Union cause.

 He tried to enlist immediately, bul was reject mnt 
 
 of his youth. He tried again at the a 
 ing Lincoln's call for L 00-day men, II. youths U an 
 obstacle but finally, through the help of friends, he 
 mustered into Company A.. 139th Qlinois Voluntea 
 May l(i, 1804. He was in active service f( 
 instead of 100 days. After two more un8ucce88fu] effort 
 re-enlisted on February 16, L865, with the rank of corpora] 
 in Company II., 171st Regiment Illinois Volunteei II. 
 regiment was ordered south and assigned to the • 
 separate division of the army of Cumberland under I 
 Thomas. He was with the host that followed Shermi 
 army in the march through Georgia. Hi- record ia a 
 and a half of active service, during which time he 
 never wounded, or otherwise unfitted for duty, though his 
 health suffered severely ever afterward from i ire and 
 
 strain. 
 
 "Mr. Hinsdale was mustered into the G. A. II. January 
 25, 1886, and has since held many important offices, and 
 officiated on more than one memorable occasion. At the 
 time of his death he was aid-de-camp of the National En- 
 campment, and adjutant of William II. Berry P 
 Woodbridge. 
 
 " After the war Mr. Hinsdale completed his educatioi 
 the College of Notre Dame, Indiana. He married in 
 
 1S73 to Miss Julia Elizabeth Nash, of Princeton. Illinois. 
 He started in Chicago at his profession as one of the pioneer 
 stenographers of the country. In 1876 he came to live in 
 Woodbridge, going daily to New York, where he had 
 offices, and where most of his court work was done at that 
 time. Since then he has transferred his activities to the 
 New Jersey courts, though he still kept headquarter* 
 New York. He was counted one of th- 
 in the country, and was depended on in court for hia judg- 
 ment and broad intelligence no less than for hi- -kill. 
 February 20, 1900, he was appointed Suprei • I 
 a miner for the State of New Jers« 
 
 "Mr. Hinsdale was a man to whom even Old 
 
 high emotion was as natural as the breath of life. B 
 help but never asked it. He wa« ed about hi- own 
 
 business, but listened freely to the troul ■'• 
 
420 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 giving in countless instances, advice that was worth more 
 than gold. He laid down his life for his country as truly 
 as if he had died on the battlefield, for he carried to his 
 grave, in a broken constitution, the effect of those terrible 
 days of privation and hardship." 
 
 News Shocks the Court. 
 
 "Upon the opening of court this morning, Willard P. 
 Voorhees announced the death of Mr. Hinsdale. He said 
 that he first commenced as stenographer under Judge 
 Scudder and that he had served under Chief Justice Beasley, 
 Justice Collins and Justice Fort. He said that he thought 
 such public announcement should be made. 
 
 " ' This statement is a great shock to the Court,' said 
 Justice Fort. ' I had no idea that Mr. Hinsdale was so ill. 
 It was only on Friday last that I received a letter from him 
 in his own hand, in which he said he was threatened with 
 pneumonia, but hoped to escape it. 
 
 " ' His death points the force of the moral that we are 
 not sure of fife; that we are liable to be taken at any time. 
 
 " ' Mr. Hinsdale was very modest, not at all given to show 
 or ostentation. He was a true man in every sense of the 
 term, and the whole bar of Middlesex and Monmouth I 
 know, held him in the highest esteem. 
 
 " ' He was one of the best narrative reporters and ste- 
 nographers in the country and had a large experience. 
 
 " 'He served his country with great faithfulness and zeal 
 and was highly esteemed by his comrades. I know it from 
 them, not from him. 
 
 " ' The Court is'grieved at hisjdeath and I know that Judge 
 Collins will be. When I came to this circuit my pre- 
 decessor said that he had but one request to make 
 of me. "I wish you to retain Hinsdale," he said. 
 " He is one of the nicest fellows and best stenographers 
 that I know of." 
 
 " The Court made an order that a minute be made 
 on the court records of Mr. Hinsdale's faithful service." 
 
 The following excerpts from letters written by Mr. Hins- 
 dale contain very much interest to all of the members of 
 the Hinsdale family: 
 
 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY ui 
 
 WoOOBBZDOB, N. .1. April 10th I - 
 
 " Mr. S. C. Hinsdale, 
 " My dear Friend: 
 "I think I have solved the riddle. At all e 
 a theory. A man with a theory is always a crank, then 
 
 for the present I am a crank. 
 "Having the complete record that we ha ur family, 
 
 back to Robert, coming to Dedham, Mass., in l 
 thing, I endeavored, by referring to s Large numberof Ameri- 
 can ami English books, to find from what part of England 
 
 Robert came. Amon»; others, 1 examined a lar lish 
 
 book supposed to contain the names of all the emigl 
 from England to the American Colonic-, from 1600 to 1700, 
 but did not find the name of Hinsdale, but I found the 
 names of a number of people whom I afterwards find living 
 in Dedham, Hadley and Dcerfield, as coming from Ipswich, 
 England, and I therefore concluded that Robert also came 
 from that part of the country. 
 
 "Having ahva3's been led to believe that our ana 
 came from England and partly at your suggestion, hut more 
 particularly to gratify myself, I thoughl 1 would see if I 
 could find a Hinsdale coat of arms, and in that way, find 
 the locality from which they came. 
 
 "I think the Astor library contains all the books on Her- 
 aldry, Armorial Insignia, County Families, Landed ' Sentry 
 and different landed proprietors, that are published in 
 England. At least, I counted over 125 books and then 
 gave it up. I examined, practically, all of them, but found 
 nothing approaching our name and I was about giving up 
 in disgust, to think that our family must ha 
 somewhere for hundreds of years and not to have I 
 able to acquire enough land to have their name sp] 
 in the published records. I had put on my overcoat and 
 was about to leave, when I remembered in one i>\ 
 Truax' letters to me that she had mentioned some lady 
 friend of hers who had seen a Hinsdale of arms in 
 
 Paris. As a matter of curiosity, I thoughl 1 would li*»k 
 at the French records of nobility. In the very first Ixn.k. 
 I found ade Hinnisdael, the Bpellingof which indicated a 
 Belgian or Holland extraction. The only n »w- 
 
 ever, was in connection with other name-. .-■. ; allied 
 
422 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 to the ancient family of Thennes. That was something 
 — I took off my overcoat — but not much. I then 
 examined several books with no result. Finally I found 
 one in which a de Hinnisdal was made a Count in 1723, 
 with a C. of A. That was a little better, but unless I got 
 back further than that, I did not care for it. 1 then found 
 a work consisting of 22 volumes about 16 by 18 inches in 
 size, containing about 300 pages each, beautifully bound in 
 red morocco. In the first volume I found what satisfied 
 me, but I wanted a good translation of it and the next day 
 I took a translator to the library and had him dictate to me 
 a translation, which is as follows: ***** 
 
 "Now for my theory. Here was a Hinsdale family 
 extending back to 1170 — it certainly had a long existence 
 before that. I found that the Hinsdale who was created 
 Compt in 1723 and his family lived in the Provinces of 
 Somme and Artoise, which is now the Province of Cales, 
 both on the English Channel, while the country of Liege 
 now belongs to Belgium, bordering on Germany and very 
 near the birth-place of protestantism. What more natural 
 than that some of the Hinsdales should become protestants 
 and during the religious wars and the persecution of the 
 Huguenots, which commenced about 1558 and lasted about 
 100 years, than that one or more of them, from church or 
 family persecution, should have fled to England where 
 freedom of worship was allowed. They may have been and 
 probably were some of the poorer members of the family, 
 certainly they could not take much property with them, 
 but they went to England and remained there one, two or 
 three generations, long enough to become English thinking 
 people and to Anglicise the name just a little, but not long 
 enough to become landed proprietors; under the circum- 
 stances it would hardly be possible to have become such; 
 they were undoubtedly poor and finally, one Robert con- 
 cluded to try his fortunes in America, and what more 
 natural than that he should come to that part of America 
 where his English friends were — Boston and Dedham. 
 
 " To believe that the family existed for hundreds of years 
 in England without acquiring land to a limited extent, 
 enough to entitle their names to appear in the records as 
 owners of land, is to admit that they were the very com- 
 
HINSDALE GEN] \U ».Y 
 
 monest kind of stock-servants. If that was the < ■ I 
 m>t believe thai Robert would have been all 
 have been able to have immediately taken the promi i 
 part that he did, little though i1 was, in the church 
 town organizations of Dedham, Medfieldand DeerfieW 
 the fact that he and his sons and all thru- , ; . . 
 became prosperous and leading citi i • •• i 
 
 were or arc, and somewhat above the av« l would

 'a silver cup with coat of arm- of Hinsdale family engra

 of A. of some description broughl to this country by 
 Robert. Now, if that C. of A. can 1." found, and it 
 three ravens upon it, that would conclusively Bettle the 
 matter, that the English Hinsdales came from the French 
 Hinsdales and cherished and preserved the Hinsdale i 
 of arms, as part of their inheritance and broughl it with 
 them to America. 
 
 " I find an ancient and numerous family of Hinsdales in 
 France, part of them living in the Provinces of Somme and 
 Cales, only 21 miles from England and part of them lr 
 in Liege, fifty miles further inland, right on the borders 
 protestantism, while the family was catholic, for I find 
 numerous mention of convent life in the 40 pagi red 
 
 to. I find a French C. of A. I do not find the Hinsdale 
 name mentioned in the English books, no C. ol A . 
 find a protestant Robert Hinsdale, the same name that 
 I find twice in the French family in a brief history of it, 
 with a C. of A. I think my argument is almost conclusive. 
 
 "While I hate England like an Irishman and hi • 
 Irishman more than I do England, yet I have always had a 
 great admiration for England; -he I en the w..r

 but I guess we are French Walloons. 
 "I believe thus far, lie Hinsdales in this dem 
 
424 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 country have not troubled themselves about a coat of 
 arms. Personally, all the coat of arms that I want, is 
 my little Grand Army button, but possibly this knowledge 
 may be of benefit in the future to my daughters and others. 
 
 "I have learned recently more about coats of arms than 
 any good American ought to know, but in my searches — 
 one thing has led to another — I was led into an examina- 
 tion of the Belgium books and there I found our name a 
 number of times as being allied to this or that family. I 
 examined the German Wappenbuchs, but found nothing 
 there, and in trying to learn the meaning and significance 
 of the different devices upon different C. of A., the 
 quarterings, etc., I was led from one thing to another 
 during the days I spent there, until it became perfectly 
 bewildering. It seems as if I had seen a million of them, 
 and now, when I think of a coat of arms, I have presented 
 to my vision, mentally, one of those brilliantly colored 
 reversible revolving magic lantern wheels, only instead of 
 the geometrical figures we are accustomed to see. I see 
 every possible and impossible beast with tails and tongues 
 twisted in every impossible way and shape possible — it is 
 enough to give one the d. t's. 
 
 " I began this letter by saying, for the present, I was a 
 crank. I think I have proved it, by writing this long 
 letter about something which ought not to concern us the 
 least little bit, but I am unloading it upon some one else 
 and I will soon resume my normal condition. 
 
 "I will try and have a photo of the C. of A. made this 
 summer. I think the above information will be surprising 
 to the Hinsdales as it becomes known, if not interesting.

 received me very cordially. She and her sister, younger

 After he came in I had a very pleasant chat with them. I 
 took supper with them and he showed me his chart of the 
 family that he has made; it is really a remarkable work; 
 he had it drawn on two large sheets, newspaper size, of 
 cardboard. They have a little daughter with the Scotch 
 name 'Jean.' I told them they had gone back to our 
 original ancestry for a name, for Jean is French for John, 
 and that is where the Scotch name came from, when Scot- 
 land and France were so nearly allied. Mrs. H. laughed and 
 claimed it was a purely Scotch name." *****

 "Dear Cousin Hinsdale: 
 
 "I received your last letter too late to follow its instruc- 
 tions, but can do so later if you desire it. Mr. H. has 
 been very anxious that I should use as an interpreter or 
 translator, a man in his office. I did not think he could do 
 the work satisfactorily and told both of them so, but they 
 seemed to think otherwise and so I took him to the Library 
 the other day and he dictated the translation to me in not 
 a very satisfactory manner. I went again the next day 
 and went all over it myself so as to get the dates and spelling 
 of the different names and I send you the result. It is 
 good enough for you to determine whether you want a more 
 perfect translation. Of course this would not do at all for 
 official use or for publication. But for my part, I see but 
 very little in it that is of any use or special interest to us, 
 further than the fact showing the antiquity of the family; 
 there is no special act to be proud of and nothing to show 
 that any one of them became a protestant and went to

 "While this record does not corroborate my theory about 
 Robert, yet it does not destroy it. This certainly does not 
 give a history or record of all the Hinnisdals that were in 
 existence. On page 3, you see that Robert is mentioned 
 there as being perhaps a brother to Gautier; if so, the 
 record of one branch only of the family is given. On page 
 8, it states that Henri had a son, but no further mention 
 is made. On page 12, Robert became the head of the house 
 and had a son Herman whom, it is stated, died without 
 posterity. He may have become protestant; it was about 
 the right time and he was disinherited and his record ended 
 up in that way. He may have had a son and named him 
 after his father. On p. 13, Robert (another one), is stated 
 not to have married. If he had become protestant and 
 married, they would not have so stated, not considering 
 it a marriage. He may have had a son and named him 
 after himself or his grandfather — you can speculate on it."

 "Dear Cousin Hinsdale: 
 
 " I returned Saturday from my New England trip. I had 
 a very pleasant trip and have seen lots of old people and 
 old things, but get no trace of the 'silver tankard' or coat 
 of arms. At Hinsdale, N. H., I saw the old church with 
 the figures over the door, 1763. I called on the minister 
 and got the names of the oldest parishoners and visited 
 them; among others, a Mrs. Jones, a very intelligent old 
 lady, the granddaughter of the first minister of the church, 
 
HINSDALE GENEA] 0G1 
 Rev. .Mr. Gay, inn none of them could give dm any b 
 
 niation. 1 was rather disappointed with ' I 
 
 thought she niiulit remember something if any • mid, 
 
 being so intimately connected with the church, hut 
 never even heard of the tankard. Hie minister told 
 that a lady from X. J. had written t<> him about tin- matter 
 some time ago; 1 take it that it was Mi- Cornelia, of whom 
 you speak ami to whom 1 will send a phoi you re- 
 quested. Sometime 1 will go down and see her. I met 
 
 many prominent men while there; :i 1 >r. Leonard, who 
 seems to be the antiquarian of the place and 1 wai tfl 
 as well as almost as if I had been old OoL 1 !beneier, come 
 back for a visit; it was soon known all over the 
 a Hinsdale was in the place and 1 had three invitatio- 
 stay all night and if I had, I think I would have had a p 
 lar reception. I was urged to remain and see Mr. Ann- 
 down, the owner of the Amidown Woolen Mills, hut 1 did 
 not have the time and Dr. Leonard possessed all the infor- 
 mation that Mr. Amidown did on that subject . I tie- 
 man that I called on dropped hi- work and got hi- b 
 and carriage and took me everywhere 1 wanted \<> go. He 
 took me to the old cemetery where Ebenezer i- buried 
 deserted place now; in the midst of a cultivated field 
 two or three hundred graves, all grown up in brush 
 bramble, no fence or care given to it. I spoke to I>r. 
 Leonard about it afterwards, and suggested that the town 
 ought to remove the remains to the modern cemetery i 
 the town. He said he would not be in favor of that, but 
 would suggest to the town committee to have the old ceme- 
 tery put in shape, with a fence around it and kept in sfa 
 He thought it would be sacrilegious to remove the rem: 
 after lying there so long. There is a large 8a1 
 ground and above that, a very large, thick, heavy flat Bl 
 supported on four rough hewn -tone pillars. The inscrip- 
 tion is almost entirely obliterated, beil 
 elements. 
 
 "At Greenfield, I called on Mr. Sheldon and spent a v- 
 pleasant hour. I called in the afternoon but he i tin. 
 I left word that I would call at nine the next day. 1 
 shown in the parlor and presently I heard him coming 
 down stairs, and as he appeared in the doorway , there Stood 
 
430 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 before me a very patriarch of old. He is a large, tall man 
 with a good head of white hair, a beard that came down to 
 his waist, silky and snow white; he had on a loose dressing 
 gown coming down to his ankles, and on his feet were 
 slippers with huge silver buckles. He greeted me 
 very cordially. He is an interesting and entertaining 
 talker ; also an entertaining listener. He could not add to 
 our information in reference to the coat of arms, but he 
 thought my theory was a correct one, and was very much 
 interested in it and I gave him a photo and he will be on 
 the lookout for a tradition in reference to it. So will Dr. 
 Leonard of Hinsdale. Mr. S. when I showed him the signa- 
 ture of Robert, said he had one also and we compared them. 
 He gave me the sheet on which appears his name. I send 
 it to you. It is not of much consequence. The original 
 of it I saw in the Memorial Hall at Deerfield the next day. 
 You can see, however, the signature is about the same, 
 although ours is 20 years earlier. Underneath that are 
 the signatures of Samuel and Experience. 
 
 "To go back to Hinsdale, N. H., I send you the Manual 
 which will account in some manner for the lost tankard, as 
 you will see on the second page; the organization only goes 
 back to 1832. I forgot to say that I visited the town clerk 
 and was sent to his house and his wife showed me the old 
 town records. I do not know whether Sheldon ever saw 
 it or not, but suppose he must have; I forgot to ask him. 
 I there found a large book bound in rawhide, on the title 
 page of which is the following: 'The gift of Abigail 
 Hinsdale to the town of Hinsdale, July 12th 1763. This 
 book to be kept as a book of records for said town.' I 
 found that Ebenezer was elected clerk of the first meeting 
 and he was afterwards moderator. I looked carefully to 
 see if Abigail had not sketched the coat of arms in the 
 book somewhere, but thoughtful as she seemed to be, she 
 did not think of that. If she had only made a rough 
 sketch what a lot of trouble it would have saved.

 can; I will get it out sometime between now and the 
 middle of September.

 W Lbridge, X. J., Sept. 2d, 1897. 
 
 "Dear Cousin Hinsdale: 
 
 "I seinl you the long promised translation and also a 
 revelation, as you will sec before finishing this Letter. This 
 has been a very slow work; it was slow translating, for 
 much of it was in old French; the first translator could not 
 do much with some of it, as you will sec the portion I sent 
 you is much less than this, as furnished by my translator. 
 Then in order to save the time of the translator, I went to 
 the Library alone afterwards and went over the text, line 
 by line with my notes, so as to get the spelling right and it 
 was very slow work. 1 have been working on it some every 
 day, for over three weeks. 
 
 There are some portions of it that do not seem to me very 
 clear, but it can not be helped; I think the fault is largely 
 owing to the carelessness and ignorance of the writers keep- 
 ing the original records. Both translators were much 
 bothered as to the language used sometimes in reference 
 to the dispositions of the fiefs; it was hard to understand 
 just what the writers meant, but the present translation is 
 about right and will answer all purposes, I guess. The 
 fiefs, with their constant changing and making homage for 
 t hem and one thing and another seemed to have given them 
 all a good deal of trouble, as well as this late descendant. 
 Then again, it has been very slow work getting it out; I do 
 not do much on the typewriter myself; I generally dictate, 
 but in this matter I could not dictate to my advantage. 
 
 "I have looked through a series of ten or twelve books 
 'La Belgique Heraldique;' in nearly every book, I find 
 many references to the family and I thought I might dis- 
 cover a convert or the departure of one of the family from 
 some Dutch port for the colonies or to England, but the 
 only reference is as to family alliances. 
 
 "The article* that appeared in the Springfield Republican 
 was written by Dr. Leonard, of Hinsdale, N. H., unbeknown 
 to me. The article was copied in the Boston Transcript, 
 in the Keene Sentinel and the Vermont Phoenix ; I don't 
 know but others; those have been sent me by various 
 parties. I wrote as nice a letter to the doctor as I could, 
 
 *This article and another referred to later on will be found imnie- 
 diately following these letters. 
 
432 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 thanking him for it and stated that the article if anything 
 would 'bring to the surface the silver cup and perhaps a 
 tradition in reference to the tankard.' And sure enough, 
 it did — that is the revelation. While the letter still lay 
 on my table, I received a letter from Miss M. J. Marshall of 
 Weston, Mass., stating that she had read the article in the 
 Boston Transcript, and that she held the cup or silver mug 
 'which was given by Uncle and Aunt Hinsdale to their 
 niece Miss Abigail Williams, who was a daughter of the Rev. 
 John Williams of Deerfield, carried away by the Indians 
 and who married Rev. Samuel Woodward of Weston. She 
 was my great-grandmother and the mug or goblet de- 
 scended to me in 1876. The coat of arms engraved upon 
 it has no ravens, but a stag in the middle of a wreath with 
 a stag's head above the wreath.' Well, it was quite a 
 shock, for part of my theory went to smash, but when 
 one is dealing with theories, one must take results as they 
 develop. However, I rallied from the shock and still exist 
 but it does not shake my belief in the French origin of the 
 family. We have got to admit that, or acknowledge that 
 we have no ancestry in England, if they came from there, 
 worth mentioning; that they were the very commonest 
 kind of people, for there is no record of them outside of a 
 parish record, if even such exists. It is true, that Robert 
 may have come from some Dutch or French port, but in 
 that case it does not seem possible that he could have taken 
 the position he did in an English colony, where he seems 
 to have been selected to deal with figures and accounts and 
 laying out of roads, whereas had he been a French or Ger- 
 man, even though he spoke English, they would naturally 
 have selected an English speaking man, a man born in 
 England, for such work; a foreigner would have hardly 
 been able to do it. I have looked at all the Canadian books 
 which give the names of all the French settlers in Canada be- 
 fore 1600 — from some time in 1500 down past 1630 and there 
 is no such name. I don't think he came from Canada. 
 
 " My idea now is — another theory — in reference to the 
 coat of arms of Col. H., that he was aware of the family coat 
 of arms but was independent and thought that he would 
 have none of the old world's coat of arms, but devise one of 
 his own — an American production was good enough for 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 133 
 
 him. It was certainly a very unusual thing for anyone to 
 
 do, to originate a coal of anus in this country; it was not 
 customary for the pi ami early settler- to do such a 
 
 thing, and to my mind it rather indicates that he was fa- 
 miliar with the thought, with the knowledge that his family 
 had been entitled to a coat of arms and so he would have 
 one of his own. At all events, I have succeeded in finding 
 the cup that has eluded others for so many years — it 
 rather deluded me. I have written to ask if there was any 
 motto in connection with the device or if she could give 
 any explanation as to how it came into the possession of 
 Abigail but have had no reply. The cup was given to 
 Sarah Williams. Miss Marshall has the facts a little wrong, 
 but it probably passed from Sarah to her sister Abigail. I 
 think there is no doubt but that it is the cup. 
 
 "In the same letter to Dr. Leonard, I added another, of 
 the discovery. He seems to be very much interested in the 
 matter, for last night I received another letter from him, 
 stating that he had written another article to the Spring- 
 field Republican in reference to the recovery of the cup and 
 I suppose that will go the same rounds. I will send you 
 one, when I get some of the papers. He has also written 
 about the removal of the remains of the Hooker family in 
 the plot where Col. Ebenezer is. If that is clone, it seems 
 to me that the whole place will soon disappear, for the 
 burying ground is on the old Hooker homestead. I will 
 send you his two letters so you may see just what he says. 
 I will tell him that I have sent them to you. Perhaps it 
 would be well for you to write him as the representative of 
 the family, thanking him for the interest he has taken in 
 the matter and stating that as there seems to be a general 
 disposition to remove the old remains to the new burying 
 ground, there would be no objection from the family in 
 removing Col. Ebenezer, and his wife's remains, if the town 
 desired to do so. I think the town ought to do it if any- 
 body does. I went to the new cemetery to see what it was 
 like and it would be a much better place if it could be re- 
 moved, if the old stones should be replaced — that is, if 
 they are going to abandon the old place. If they would 
 put an iron fence around the present graves and leave them 
 there, it would do very well.

 "I didn't think I was going to make such a stir and so 
 much trouble by simply going to Hinsdale and asking a few 
 questions and having a chat with the doctor; if I had, I 
 would not have gone. I don't know that I like so much 
 notoriety; I have had all those papers sent to me from 
 different parts of New England by my friends, and other 
 people have written me as to their relationship." * * *

 "Dear Cousin Hinsdale: 
 
 * * * "Now as to the coat of arms on the Marshall 
 cup, or 'cann' as it is called ; I don't think it is a coat of 
 arms at all ; it may have been so designated by Col. Ebenezer , 
 but to be a coat of arms, according to the laws of heraldry, 
 it should be on a shield and the shield have certain divisions 
 and there should be a motto. Of course there were no 
 laws of heraldry in this country and any one could devise 
 anything he pleased and in that sense it may be called a 
 coat of arms. If it was intended, then I come back to my 
 theory, that he would not have gotten it up as such, unless 
 he had been familiar with the idea that his grandfather 
 was entitled to one, and he may have been aware of the 
 fact that his not very distant ancestors had been disinher- 
 ited because of their religion and that he would have 
 nothing to do with the old family coat of arms. It is all 
 speculation, however," * * * "but I care 
 nothing about the coat of arms, because I still believe that 
 we came from the French, only at present we cannot strike 
 the connecting link. Other French refugees went to 
 England and afterwards to the Colonies ; why not refugees 
 by the name Hinnisdal as well, when we know there was 
 a large family of that name in France. 
 
 " Both Miss Marshall and Mr. Sheldon say this cup is not

 I send you Sheldon's letter to me about it, which you need

 not return. I guess they arc right about that, but 
 nevertheless, I think it knocks <>ut my first theory, that I 
 would find a similar coat of anus, tor I think the design 
 on the other cup and on the tankard would be found to be 
 the same as on this cup. .Miss Marshall has sent me a 
 couple of photographs of it , as she had them made for you. 
 I am glad to see them; it is a very pretty design or 
 ornamentation, whatever it may be called. I have sugges-

 which to place the purchaser's name or the one to whom 
 it was to be given and that Col. H. placed in it and above it, 
 the stags." * * * * *

 From Springfield (Mass.) Republican, August 15, 1897: 
 
 "Hinsdale, N. H. 
 "Samuel B. Hinsdale of Woodbridge, N. J., a steno- 
 grapher who does business in New York, visited the town 
 recently in quest of information concerning his ancestor, 
 Col. Ebenezer Hinsdale, the founder of the town. Mr. 
 
436 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 Hinsdale is well up in the genealogy of the Hinsdale family, 
 and has proofs that it had its origin in France, not in Eng- 
 land, as was generally supposed, but entered England later. 
 He exhibited a fac-simile of the Hinsdale coat-of-arms, 
 which has emblazoned upon it three ravens, and he is in 
 search of an old relic which ought to be found in Hinsdale, 
 with which to compare it. 
 
 " It appears that Mrs. Ebenezer Hinsdale, who survived 
 her husband, left by will her great silver tankard with the 
 Hinsdale coat-of-arms engraved thereon to the First Con- 
 gregational church, the date of whose organization is 1763. 
 What became of this tankard is a mystery. The church 
 records prior to 1821, are lost, and no one living can be 
 found who has ever seen or has any knowledge of it, though 
 there is a floating tradition that a great many years ago the 
 church being sorely in need of funds and not realizing the 
 future historic value of this old relic, sold the tankard and 
 it probably went into the hands of the silversmiths. In 
 the same will there is mention made of a silver cup bearing 
 the coat-of-arms, bequeathed to some member of the Hins- 
 dale family, and even this cannot be found. What Mr. 
 Hinsdale greatly desires is to compare his fac-simile of the 
 Hinsdale coat-of-arms with the engraving upon the tankard 
 and the cup and see if they are identical. 
 
 " The burial place or Col. and Mrs. Hinsdale and other 
 'rude forefathers of the hamlet/ is uncared for and neg- 
 lected. The plot of ground where they lie is in a secluded 
 spot nearly a mile from the village and it is understood that 
 the land belongs to the town forever with a right of way. 
 The present Mr. Hinsdale would prefer that the bones of 
 his ancestors should rest where they are if the descendants 
 or the town will bestow proper care upon the lot and rescue 
 it from oblivion, otherwise he would offer no objection to 
 their removal to Pine Grove cemetery with the proviso that 
 the ancient tombstones shall be set up precisely as before 
 and the inscriptions recut and rendered legible." 
 
 From Springfield Republican, August 29, 1897: 
 
 "Hinsdale, N. H. 
 "A recent brief sketch in The Sunday Republican con- 
 cerning the Hinsdale family and a long-missing silver cup 
 
 
HINSDALE (ii:.\i:.\l.<HiV i:;; 
 
 and tankard mentioned in Mrs. Abigail Hinsdale's will bore 
 
 fruit Speedily. The article met the eye of a .Mi— Mar-hall 
 
 of Weston, Mass., a descendant, and she immediately 
 wrote to S. B. Hinsdale of Wbodbridge, X. J., saying in 
 substance that the silver cup with the Hinsdale coat of 
 arms was in her possession, that it was given to her in LS70 
 with the legend that it was originally bequeathed to Abigail 
 Williams, a granddaughter of Rev. John Williams of Deer- 
 field, 'the redeemed captive.' Mrs. Hinsdale was his 
 daughter; she was twice married after the death of the 
 Colonel, her last husband being Ebenezer Silliman of Fair- 
 field, Ct., whom she survived. Madam Silliman's will 
 bequeaths the silver cup to her niece, Sarah Williams, not 
 Abigail, but Sarah and Abigail were sisters. Sarah was 
 married and became a widow early, and may have made 
 over the cup to her sister. There is another curious circum- 
 stance. The old world coat of arms, of which S. B. Hins- 
 dale has a fac-simile, displays three ravens upon a scroll, 
 with Latin motto and other embellishments, while the coat 
 of arms engraved upon the cup in Miss Marshall's custody 
 is a stag surrounded with a wreath and surmounted by a 
 stag's head. There can be no doubt that the cup in Miss 
 Marshall's possession is genuine, and it is not at all unlikely 
 that Col. Hinsdale thought best to ignore the old world 
 heraldry and improvised a coat of arms befitting a pioneer 
 in a new country. At all events, the silver cup, which has 
 been vainly searched for by different branches of the family 
 for years, has been brought to light through the medium 
 of The Republican, and now where is 'the great silver 
 tankard?' 
 
 "In support of the theory that the Hinsdales are of French 
 origin, S. B. Hinsdale has recently caused to be translated 
 40 pages in the 'Archives de la Noblesse' and finds parts 
 of it both quaint and interesting as a record of the 'de 
 Hinnisdale,' or 'Hinisdales;' the name is spelled both ways. 
 We learn that along in A. D. 1500, or from about A. D. 1490 
 to A. D. 1600, Robert de Hinisdale was a common family 
 name. It was a Robert who came to Dec! ham between 
 A. D. 1630-40 and was one of eight men who foimded a 
 church there in A. D. 1638. In the same period other 
 French refugees came there after having lived in England, 
 
438 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 and what is more natural than that the Hinsdale converts 
 should have followed along in the stream of refugees, first 
 to England and afterward to America?"

 1650. HERBERT CORNELIUS ANDREWS' (Alfred Hinsdale 
 Andrews 8 Alfred Andrews' Roxana Hinsdale* Elijah 6 John* 
 Barnabas 3 Barnabas 2 Robert 1 ), son of Alfred Hinsdale 
 Andrews and Klla Cornelia Matson, his wife, born at Chicago, 
 111.. March 19, 1S83, died at Chicago, May 31, 1905. His 
 home for the past two years was in Pasadena, California, 
 where he went for his health. His studio was in Los 
 Angeles, and it was there that his reputation was estal>- 
 lished as an authority on genealogy and heraldry. He 
 was the compiler of this genealogy, the manuscript of which 
 was practically completed at the time of his decease. 
 
 Although only twenty-two years of age at the time of 
 his death, Herbert Cornelius Andrews has left a peculiarly 
 definite impression; not only for a strong, keen, sweet 
 personality, but from his careful, exhaustive genealogical 
 research work. Even as a child he was far from robust and 
 as the years passed, there were always physical limitations 
 to work against. He cared little for sports, but was ab- 
 sorbed in his studies, his music and his diversions. These 
 diversions varied as he grew to manhood, but always he 
 had some intense interest: first, a collection of about 2,000 
 portraits of authors, the lives of whom he knew by heart. 
 Then he mastered stenography and typewriting; later he 
 took a course in a School of Advertising and another of 
 Scientific Salesmanship, and for a time he studied designing. 
 These pursuits were all carried on while he was attending 
 High School and College. He was graduate* 1 from the High 
 School at Oak Park, Illinois, in 1S98, with high honors, at 
 the age of sixteen, and later attended the Chicago Uni- 
 
446 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 versity, and Colorado College, Colorado Springs. While 
 at Colorado College he studied Harmony under Reuben 
 Goldmark, and showed marked ability in musical compo- 
 sition. He expressed more of the tenderness, beauty and 
 strength of his life through his improvisation at the piano, 
 than through any other medium, and his touch was a rare 
 one. All these former avocations, while of little purpose 
 in themselves, were a valuable preparation for that which 
 he made the vocation of his later life, his genealogical 
 work. Always serious in purpose he was one of the most 
 witty, sprightly and charming of companions. 
 
 After a year at Colorado College his health was so broken 
 that he was obliged to give up all further thought of school, 
 and for two years devoted himself to what was most difficult 
 for him, an outdoor life. He spent a year quite alone at 
 Flagstaff, Arizona, which was a bitter one to him. His 
 family did not know how hard it was, for he kept his suffer- 
 ings and disappointments from them. After he passed 
 away, among his papers was found a veritable lamentation, 
 written at that time, showing his despondency over his 
 health, and fearing that his ambitions could not be 
 realized. 
 
 A change at last was absolutely necessary, and after a 
 few months at Pasadena, California, his health was so much 
 improved that he became anxious for definite occupation, 
 and so entered the business house of Messrs. C. F. Weber 
 & Co., the Los Angeles agents of the A. H. Andrews 
 Company of Chicago. He proved himself to have good 
 business ability and was promoted rapidly during the year 
 spent with this firm. 
 
 But his heart was elsewhere, and when at last the oppor- 
 tunity came to devote his entire time to ancestral study, 
 which for five or six years had crowded each otherwise 
 unemployed moment, the alternative of accepting a fine 
 position in San Francisco, with the main branch of the 
 business firm, had no attraction for him. And, so, finally, 
 the young man of not yet twenty-one, found what for years 
 he had been yearing for, apparently better health and 
 entirely congenial work. 
 
 His artistic studio was the only one west of Chicago 
 devoted exclusively to genealogical research and heraldic

 designing, and Berbexi Andrews was undoubtedly one of 
 the youngest members of the profession in the world. 
 
 He was elected a member of the Society of Colonial 
 
 Wars, the "( >ld Nbrthweel " < tenealogica] Society, and the 
 
 New England Historic Genealogical Society. He W88 ftlBO 
 
 invited t<> become a member of the Son- of tin- American 
 Revolution, the Mayflower Society, the Harleian Society, 
 and other patriotic and antiquarian organizations. 
 
 He was engaged to lecture on Heraldry before some of 
 the leading clubs of California, and people interested in 
 genealogy from all over the coimtry consulted him as an 
 authority, among his genealogical clients being many 
 prominent people in all parts of the United States. That 
 he came naturally by his great love for genealogical research 
 is plainly seen when it is considered that he was the grand- 
 son of Alfred Andrews of New Britian, Conn., who spent 
 so many years in like work, the fruits of whose labors have 
 been given to us in the "Andrews Memorial," "Hart 
 Genealogy" and "Genealogy and Ecclesiastical History — 
 First Church, New Britain." 
 
 At the time of his last illness (the spring of 1905) he was 
 at work on the Rindge Genealogy for Mr. Frederick C. 
 Rindge of Los Angeles, and he kept at the dearly beloved 
 manuscript days after he should have laid it down, so 
 eagerly did he hold on to his life work. 
 
 His family records were absolutely unique from an anti- 
 quarian and artistic standpoint, and if, in less than a year 
 his work was recognized as unusual, what fruit might we 
 not have expected had he been spared to the world beyond 
 the blossoming stage of life! 
 
 Funeral services conducted by Dr. Gunsaulus of Chicago 
 were held at the home of his parents in Lombard, 111, on 
 June 2, 1905, and his body was laid to rest in the cemetery 
 at that place. 
 
 The following are extracts from Dr. Gunsaulus' remarks 
 at the funeral services: 
 
 "It is entirely in harmony with the traditions of this dear 
 family, whose sorrows we all bear in our hearts to-day, 
 that we should revert to the words which have been so often 
 spoken in the childhood of this dear boy; the first words 
 
448 HINSDALE GENEALOGY . 
 
 that I ever heard him speak in a little class of other children, 
 when they were reciting the beautiful twenty-third Psalm, 
 'The Lord is my shepherd.' 
 
 "Then I remember another time, on the same street 
 where the little children played together (many of whose 
 sympathies are with those who mourn to-day), with the 
 larger outlook upon life, with the same broad faith in God, 
 when we tried to make at the Sunday School a picture of 
 the growing religion for the growing children, and these 
 were some of the words from the twenty-second chapter of 
 Revelations: — 'And he showed me a pure river of water 
 of life, pure as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God 
 and of the Lamb.' * * * * 'And there 
 shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither 
 light of the sun, for the Lord God giveth them light; and 
 they shall reign forever and ever.' 
 
 ' ' I shall never forget the day when there came upon my 
 mind, with something of its full force and persuasion the 
 vision of the fact that 'Jesus died a young man.' I shall 
 never forget how my mind was impressed with the truth 
 that there never was a better young man. Then I put by 
 the side of it that other truth, the world never needed him 
 as it needed him apparently on the day when he died, at 
 only three and thirty years of age. A planet all wrong; 
 great gashes of sorrow and pain needing to be healed, and 
 He the Great Physician. Doubts deep as abysses between 
 awful mountain ranges, and He the Light that might dispel 
 them. A world already touched and flooded with a stray 
 beam of sunshine and He not arisen to His meridian of 
 splendor, 'The Son of Righteousness.' Then I came to 
 the conclusion for the first time in my life that God's plans, 
 God's methods and God's purposes included a far greater 
 range of experiences and investments than time. 
 
 "It must be that in God's great things He needs the 
 young. It must be that -swifter feet rather than age, may 
 have the place, that higher ideas, more alert intelligence, 
 that belongs to youth, are demanded by the movements of 
 the Almighty elsewhere. There must be a reason why 
 Jesus left this world at three and thirty years of age. Why 
 did He not grow into the f ullness of physical and intellectual 
 vigor, and to have all the experience of age? Why, my 
 
HINSDALE GFXKALOGY 449 
 
 friends, this is only :i small circle of experiences. This is 
 inside of vaster circles and we arc standing in the presence 
 of God's great lessons, and we an- reverently and lovingly 
 to look into the mighty eve thai tearlcssly saw the Son of 
 God die on this earth a young man. 
 
 "This boy of ours whom we have known has entered into 
 the great plan of the Infinite. He had much of God, in 
 that he had deepest sympathies, mental independence, and 
 positive rectitude of moral and intellectual fervor, to pi 
 forward from the very beginning of mental life. There 
 was not as much for this boy on this earth as there could 
 have been for others. There was not as much for Keats; 
 not as much for Raphael; not as much for John Summer- 
 field, and not as much for Robert Louis Stevenson. There 
 are higher roadways that must be trodden by those whose 
 lives are lives celestial. Here the artist, here the dreamer, 
 here the orator or teacher of the celestial will find himself at 
 home. Herbert loved the research into family traditions, 
 and inspiration came to him in the line of heraldry, until it 
 became a fine art with this boy. He loved all that gave the 
 institutions of the home and rights of the family a dignity. 
 Is there not some intimation in this that he has found the 
 Fatherhood of God, and that those broad waves of research, 
 unknown to us, are to him as clear as crystal. Dear friends, 
 I have stood by the side of the grave of youth, and I cease 
 to feel that it is a place for tears and tears alone. I know- 
 that if my God has such a plan for this world that He takes 
 His only Beloved Son at three and thirty years of age from 
 our world, your boy is safe: I know that the mighty plan 
 is larger, sweeter, and deeper than all thought, and that we 
 what we need to-day is to go bury our sorrow, and to wait 
 for the morning to dawn." 
 
 His young friends, in sadness, covered the earth and 
 lined the grave with blossoms. As the body was laid to 
 rest, it was with these words from Dr. Gunsaulus, "not 
 dust to dust, but bud to bud and spring to spring." 
 
 The following remarks were offered by Dr. Caverno, uncle 
 of the decedent: 
 
 " ' That fife is long which answers life's great end.' 
 Tried by this rule we have in Herbert C. Andrews a remark- 
 
450 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 ably complete result. We seem to be set in this universe 
 with the problem before us of adapting ourselves to its 
 conditions for time and eternity. What makes it so clear 
 in regard to the future of this young man is that he seemed 
 before he left us to have made adjustment to all the con- 
 ditions passing or probable. He had the open mind and 
 the forward look. That attitude discovers and reveals. 
 It is not too much to say that he had native ability to enter 
 upo.i any of the paths open to human effort. But better, 
 he had the disposition to work along any or all of them as 
 exigency might seem to require. A fine scholar, yet he 
 made a valued hand in a lumber mill. He kept the guiding 
 thread in any department of thought or action to which 
 he was introduced. The last year of his life shows his Plato 
 read and marked. His mind was opened once and forever 
 to the treasures of literature. When he left us he was an 
 authority in genealogy and heraldry, a remarkable result 
 for a man so young. Some of us thought that this study 
 would inevitably make of him a historian. We are sure 
 that from his fine sensibility and keen perception, we should 
 have had something that would rank high in truth and 
 taste. We are inclined to envy him his new found privi- 
 leges, further out in art. Herbert was an artist. In music 
 not only did he attain to excellence hi instrumental exe- 
 cution, but in composition as well. If our ears were tuned 
 to the rhythms of the ether as our eyes are to the color of 
 the spectrum, we could catch combinations out of an etheral 
 gamut. President McCosh said, 'There are harmonies in 
 the works of God that are beyond the painter's pencil and 
 the poet's pen, falling on the ear with a more melodious 
 rhythm and a sweeter cadence than the most exquisite 
 music.' What science has done for the last hundred 
 years has been to make certain the existence of these har- 
 monies out in realms not open to the grasp of the facul- 
 ties of earth. Herbert had the thread of such harmonies 
 already in his hand, his soul was tuned to them and we 
 will trust him to work out into the liberties of such glories, 
 as he progresses in the spirit realm. 
 
 "What of him religiously? There are many waj r s to come 
 to a satisfactory answer to that question. Paul, in taking 
 leave of the Philippians, as a farewell direction, says this: 
 
HINSDALE GENEALOGY 451 
 
 'Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatso- 
 ever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, what- 
 soever things arc pure, whatsoever things BX6 lovely, what- 
 soever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and 
 if there be any praise think on these things? 1 Those of US 
 who were familiar with Herbert during the last few years 
 of his life have been impressed that he was striving to attain 
 that ultimate direction for the adjustment of human 
 thought to the ways of God, and that he was far along in 
 Buccess in it. A little incident which occurred last summer, 
 as he was spelling out inscriptions at the graves of his 
 ancestors in Connecticut, has a whole revelation of his 
 religious attitude in it. 'This is a noble line back of me 
 I do not want to be counted out of it.' Enough. Christ 
 will own his own. To us who remain, just one word from 
 Whittier's 'My Psalm:' 
 
 " 'All as God wills, who wisely heeds 
 
 To give or to withold. 
 And do the shadows fall apart, 
 And so the West winds play, 
 And all the windows of my heart 
 
 I open to the day.' " 
 
 The Reverend James M. Campbell, Pastor of the First 
 Church of Lombard, writes of the decedent as follows: 
 
 "The ten years during which I knew Herbert Andrews, 
 and during which I watched over his mental and moral 
 development with something of a pastor's solicitude, com- 
 prised the period when he shot up from boyhood to young 
 manhood. From the first I was impressed with his pre- 
 cocity. He was thoughtful beyond his years. He had a 
 sensitive and highly strung temperament; and as he passed 
 through the formative stage of juvenile effervescence, one 
 could not help being anxious about his future. He early 
 manifested a questioning, inquiring spirit, which, in matters 
 religious, could not readily submit to the dictates of out- 
 ward authority. It was a necessity of his nature that he 
 reason things out for himself; and that he accept only 
 what stood the test of experience. His search was for 
 reality, and through all his days of Btress and strain he never 
 lost reverence for divine things, nor respect for embodied 
 
452 HINSDALE GENEALOGY 
 
 goodness. He ever kept before himself the highest moral 
 ideals. His life was clean; his deportment courteous and 
 manly, and any appeal to his sense of honor was sure to 
 meet with a swift and hearty response. As might be 
 expected in one so genuinely sincere, he gradually came 
 round to accept what was essential in the Christian faith, 
 and when the time came when his unfinished tasks had to 
 be laid aside, I for one, was not surprised to hear him say, 
 in a moment of supreme soul-revealing, ' It looks as if the 
 end of my life was drawing near: if so, my soul is at rest, 
 and I can face the future without a fear.' His attitude 
 was that of the implicit trust expressed in the lines, 
 
 " 'I know not where His islands lift 
 
 Their fronded palms in air; 
 I only know I cannot drift 
 
 Beyond His love and care. 
 And so beside the Silent Sea, 
 
 I wait the muffled oar ; 
 No harm from Him can come to me 
 
 On ocean or on shore ' 
 
 "Our young friend whose going out we mourn, possessed 
 a touch of genius. Had strength of body and length of 
 days been given to him, he could easily have attained dis- 
 tinction in several directions. Those of us who knew him 
 best expected most from him in the coming years. His 
 untimely death brings the blighting of many a fondly 
 cherished hope. But we cannot for a moment believe that 
 such a life can be lost. Of those before the throne of God 
 it is said, 'They serve Him day and night in His temple,' 
 and we feel sine that in the world to which our young friend 
 has gone, there is need of such gifts as those with which he 
 was so richly dowered."

 Reverend Alanson Hartpence and Martha Morton, his wife, 
 born at Nashville, Term., October 13, 1856, was married 
 in Philadelphia, Pa., October 14, 1874, by Rev. Dr. Bel- 
 ville, assisted by Thomas L. Janeway, D. D., to Reverend 
 Francis Le Baron Robbins, D. D., who was born at 
 Camillus, N. Y., May 2, 1830, son of Samuel Robbins and 
 Fanny Osborne, his wife. 
 
 Dr. Robbins was graduated at Williams College in 1854, 
 studied theology at Auburn Seminary, and in 1860 was 
 ordained to the ministry and installed pastor of the Green 
 Hill Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia. He subse- 
 quently founded the Oxford Presbyterian Church in Phila- 
 delphia, which was dedicated in 1869, and of which he 
 became pastor, resigning the office in 1883. During his 
 pastorate, the church edifice, one of the handsomest in 
 the city, and which had been constructed largely through 
 his efforts, was destroyed by fire. By his untiring energy 
 it was, however, rebuilt in 1881, handsomer than ever, and 
 has since been one of the prominent churches of the city, 
 and leads its denomination in the matter of actual income 
 and contributions. After his resignation Dr. Robbins 
 traveled extensively in Europe, and on his return took up 
 the work of founding a church in Kensington, the center 
 of the manufacturing district of Philadelphia. In this he 
 .succeeded, and in 1886 the Beacon Presbyterian Church 
 was dedicated. Connected with it is a reading-room and 
 library; a hall where lectures on travel, art, sanitation, and 
 other popular and timely themes are delivered ; class-rooms 
 for instruction in mechanical arts, music, drawing and 
 oratory; and a dispensary at which many thousand patients 
 receive free medical attention yearly. He received the 
 degree of D. D. from Union College, New York.

 "Georgetown, Colo., December 12. — A pretty home 
 wedding took place at the home of the bride's parents, on 
 Rose street, this evening at 3 :30 o'clock, when Miss Annie 
 Guanella was united in marriage to Addison 0. Hinsdale 
 of this place by the Rev. Father Donnelly. 
 
 "The bride wore a gown of heliotrope trimmed in silk and 
 white mousseline de soie. Her bodice was ornamented 
 with orange blossoms, and caught at the throat by a 
 diamond brooch, the gift of the groom. The bride was 
 attended by her sister, Miss Josephine Guanella, who wore 
 a gown of cardinal and cream. Bert Terrill acted as best 
 man. The ring bearers were the bride's little niece and 
 nephew, Patricia Noon, who wore a dainty dress of cream
