INTRODUCTION 
 
 Belicvinp- il to he their duty tu their desceiulants, the seven 
 sons of Abncr Hinnian II, have caused to he compiled and 
 issued, this record of the descendants in (hrect line from Ser- 
 geant Edward Hinv.ian, the Pilgrim, to their father. Al)ncr 11. 
 This has been a'-'-omplished at the cost of much time and some 
 expense, hut :■, not issued with the ohject of financial gain; 
 luit for the .?ole purpose of producing an authentic record of 
 the Hinmans to date, and of the kindred families to the point 
 of their junction with the Hinmans, in so far as we have heen 
 able to obtain authentic data in that respect; all tu he handed 
 down to future generations, that those yet to come may more 
 readily gather the strands here necessarily laid down and be 
 able more easily to keep their family record complete. 
 
 This production is. therefore, not jjlaced on sale, is not 
 copyrighted, 1)ut is issued only with the above intentions, and 
 only for gratuitous distribution among the seven sons of Abner 
 Hinman II and Emma Shaw Hinman. his wife, and their 
 descendants. 
 
 We desire to ackncjwledge our pr(jfound ol)ligation to Royal 
 R. Hinman. whose able work. "Catalogue of the h'irst Puritan 
 Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut." issued in 1856. has fur- 
 nished us absohUely authentic data covering the period down 
 to the beginning of the nineteenth centurw h'rom that i)oint 
 on to the present the line has been completed b\- data kindl}- fur- 
 nished by old people of the family, who gladly live again the 
 years of the past, mentally renew the associations of their younger 
 days, and from the brightest spots in memory, glean a splendid 
 heritage, to pass it on down the generations to those who in 
 their turn shall follow them.

 ments. He g:raduated al ^'alc C'lillci^c in the class of 1804. with 
 John C. Callioun. I K'nry K. Storrs. Dr. John rirrpmit, and others 
 of that prominent class. He studied law and was admitted to 
 the liar in Connecticut in 1S07 and practiced in Roxbury and 
 Southinglon. \\"liile in the latter ])lace he ser\ed as Judg"c and 
 Clerk of Probate, and was lor ten }ears Tostniaster at Roxbury, 
 and Ma^^istrate twenty-five >ears. In 18 1<; he was Major and 
 Inspector of the Sixth llri^ade of lnfantr\- of L'onnecticut. l'\)r 
 four sessions he was a nieniber of the Ceneral Asseml)ly of the 
 State. He was a member of several college societies, an original 
 member ol the Connecticut Historical Society, honorarv mem- 
 ber of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, New 
 Jersey Historical .Society, I'ennsylvania Flistorical Society, and 
 the Iowa Historic Society. Tti 1835 he was elected Secretary 
 of State of Connecticut, being re-elected seven years in succession 
 thereafter. He was Collector of Customs for the I'ort of New 
 Haven in 1844, a member of the National Convention in Baltimore 
 the same \ear. .Xbout that time he was nominated by the Presi- 
 dent of tlu' Cnited Stales for Postmaster at Hartford and re- 
 jected by the Senate for being neither a \ an Ikiren nor ("lay 
 adherant. He also held various otiier positions of honor and 
 trust under the legislature of Connecticut in revising the public 
 statutes and acts of incor])oration of that State. He wrote (|u4e 
 extensively of the early history of his State and its I'uritan 
 settlers, beside various other historical works. He afterwards 
 removed to New York City where, w\' believe, he died. 
 
 In his work, "Catalogue of the h'irst Puritan Settlers of the 
 Colony of Connecticut," page 884, he says: 
 
 "Descendants usuall\- have some curiosity to know the size, 
 general appearance, stature, color of eyes, and complexion of their 
 first ancestors in this cotmtry. As no portrait is found of Ser- 
 geant Edward llinman. they are left to depend on tradition for 
 these facts. He was about six feet in height, with light, large 
 eyes, and muscular in frame, having been an officer was straight 
 in person, with an easy movement. The black eyes, now so 
 frequent in the family, have crept in through the numerous wives 
 connected with his descendants. Many stories are related of the 
 great muscular powers, not only of Sergeant Edward, of Strat- 
 
TIIR ITTNlVrANS. 5 
 
 ford, but of several of his early descendants. Those of the name 
 were uniformly of a light complexion, tall in person, and in 
 advanced life became corpulent." 
 
 In the same work, page 809: '"The name of Hinman is 
 found in England. Ireland, and Scotland ; also in Germany, end- 
 ing in two n's— Hinmann. If the name was originally spelled 
 with an H. it is difficult to determine whether they were Scotch. 
 German, or English, as it is not a freciuent name in either country. 
 Lower, in his book of surnames, gives the origin of Hinman and 
 Inman. where the H is considered only as a cockney prefix." 
 
 "The coats-of-arms for Inman and Hinman in Berry's Her- 
 aldry, which is infallable. and in a book of crests found in some 
 libraries, one of which is in the Congressional Library at \\ ash- 
 ington. shows the two names to have originally been the same 
 name, with or without the H prefix."

 three roses gu. slipped and leaved of the first. Crest— (Jn a mount 
 vert a wivern pjir. ducally gorged and lined or." 
 
 In the preparation of this work, we have stood by the graves 
 of our ancestors, and. with fast-beating hearts, contemplated the 
 past, with its wealth of character. And now, with eager eyes 
 turning to the future and "as the long train of ages glides away." 
 may the family, generation after generation, be true to the sacred 
 trust enjoined upon them to preserve and perpetuate the names 
 and records of a worthy ancestry, and may they hold in their 
 highest esteem the splendid heritage of a direct lineal blood 
 descent from the Pilgrim and the Revolutionary fathers. May 
 they be not unmindful of the sterling characters and goodly lives 
 that have preceded them, and may their lives be such as to war- 
 rant f^rijiia facie their claim to membership in such a family. 
 
 The Seventh Son. 
 
THE HINMANS 
 
 SERGEANT Kdwaki) MiNMAN Wcis llic first aiul (Mily emigrant 
 of the name found in America. He tirst appeared in Stratford, 
 Connecticut. 'Jdie e.xact time of his arrival there cannot be ascer- 
 tained, as the first ten years of the record at Stratford was 
 destroyed by fire about 1649. '^'^^^ veai' of his arrival was alx-nt 
 i6so, or before. A tradition has come down from the earliest 
 (lavs in New England, in fact, from Sergeant Edward himself, 
 that he had l)Llonged to, and constituted one of the body-guard 
 of King Charles I of England, as Sergeant-at-Arms, and that he 
 escaped in the days of Oliver Cromwell, the Protector, to save 
 his life from the halter, as Cromwell's vengeance was wreaked 
 upon all such as favored the Crown. This, if true, proves Ser- 
 geant Edward to have been a most trustworthy loyalist and an 
 honest man. for no others could have received the confidence of 
 the throne at that critical i)eriod of the I'.ritish government. As 
 he held the title of Sergeant from his first settlement at Strat- 
 ford, he probably acquired this title from his service in the life 
 guard of the King. jNIany of his descendants have since been 
 prompted by a military spirit and fondness of military glory, 
 there having been thirteen by the name of Hinman from the town 
 of Woodbury, Conn., who held military or naval commissions in 
 the war of the Revolution. 
 
 Soon after settling in Stratford, Sergeant Edward had . a 
 house-lot, which is recorded and described in the "Stratford 
 Records. 19th of 9th month, 1668." Royal R. Hinman, in hi^ 
 work of 1856, says : 
 
 "This house of Sergeant Edward was located upon the west 
 of the present Main street in Stratford, a little southwest of that 
 noble old Episcopal Church, the beauty of which is its antiquated 
 structure and plainness." At a town meeting on March 7, 1654, 
 and again on February 2, 1664, various pieces of land were as- 
 signed to him by division of the town lands. The records "alsQ 
 
8 
 
 THE HINMANS. 
 
 show where he purchased lands at different times. While at 
 Stratford, he was a farmer and extensive land holder and was 
 accounted a man of good judgment. He was the first owner of 
 the old tide-mill hetween Stratford and what is now Bridgeport, 
 and some of his descendants have owned and been concerned in 
 milling since. Sergeant Edward's ear mark for his cattle was 
 recorded at Stratford, "the iSth day, 9th month, 1662," viz., "a 
 slit right down the first q'r of the ofif ear. and a little slit across 
 the upper side of the same ear." His son, Edward, Jr., took 
 his father's ear-mark September 25, 1698. 
 
 Soon after coming to Stratford. Sergeant Edward married 
 Hannah, daughter of Francis and Sarah Stiles, of Windsor. The 
 time of the marriage is not found. It was probably in 165 1 or 
 1652, as his first child was born in 1653. 
 
 Sergeant Edward sold his homestead in Stratford in 1681 to 
 Richard Bryan, of Milford, and about this time made his will at 
 Woodbury, in which he calls himself of Woodbury. He died 
 November 26, 1681. It is supposed he died at Stratford, as his 
 will was proved and his estate settled in the probate court at 
 Fairfield, in 1682, where his will is recorded, and in which he re- 
 membered each of his children and directed that his voungest 
 son. Edward, Jr., be brought up to a trade with Jehial Preston, 
 of Stratford. He might, however, have died at Woodbury, as 
 Woodbury was then part of Fairfield county. His grave is not 
 found either in Stratford or Woodbury, but his death is recorded 
 in Stratford. 
 
 Sergeant Edward was a man of pure character, and was 
 noted for his integrity and strict honesty in all his dealings in life. 
 This has been characteristic of most of his descendants. No one 
 of the name has ever been publicly punished for an offence, how- 
 ever many may have deserved it. 
 
 Sergeant Edward's children, born in Stratfortl, were : ( i ) 
 Sarah, b. Sept. 10. 1653, m. Wm. Roberts, of Stratford. (2) 
 Titus, b. June, 1655, settled in Woodbury. (3) Samuel, b. 
 1658, settled in Woodbury. (4) Benjamin, b. Feb., 1662-3, 
 settled in Woodbury. (5) Hannah, b. July 15. 1666. (6) 
 Mary, b. 1668. (7) Patience, b. 1670, m. John Burroughs on 
 Jan. 10, 1694. (8) EDWARD, JR., b. 1672,

 Edward Hinmak, Jr., f<nirtli and youngest son of Sergeant 
 Edward llinnian, of Stratford, was horn at Stratford in 1672 and 
 was the only son of Sergeant Edward to settle at Stratford with 
 his father. In accordanee with his father's last will and testament 
 he was brought up to a trade b\- Jehial Preston, with whom he 
 remained until he became of age. Edward. Jr., drew eighteen 
 acres of land in the land division in Woodbury in 1702, from which 
 it appears he might have been in W'txxlbury for a short time; 
 but it is evident he lived and died at Stratford, where all his chil- 
 dren were born and where some of their descendants are yet 
 found. He was one of the first Episcopalians in Connecticut and 
 signed the first petition to sift out the churchmen from the con- 
 ereeationalists in that colon v. The descendants of Edward. Jr., 
 are now found in all parts of the L'nited States, from the Atlantic 
 to the Pacitic, sustaining a high character for integrity and moral 
 worth. 
 
 Edward, Jr., married Hannah, daughter of Joshua Jennings, kJ^- 
 Jr., and Mary Lyon, his wife, and had twelve children loom in 
 Stratford: (1) Jonah or Jonas, b. Nov. 5. 1700, settled at 
 Newark, N. J. (2) Hannah, b. March 3, 1702. (3) Zach- 
 ariah, b. Jan. 27, 1704. (4) SAMUEL, b. 1705. (5) Justus, b. 
 Dec. 28. 1707. (6) Ebenezer, b. Oct. 5, 1709, d. young. (7) 
 Sarah, b. Oct. 171 1. (8) John, b. Nov. 1713. (9) Rachel, 
 b. Dec. 4. 1715. (10) Ebenezer. b. Aug. 16, 1717. (n) 
 Amos, b. Oct. 18. 1720. (12) Charity, b. June 6, 1723. 
 
 The following facts regarding Hannah Jennings have been 
 gleaned from Barber's Historical Collection of Connecticut : 
 Hannah Jennings Hinman, wife of Edward, Jr., died on her 99th 
 birthdav, Julv 25, 1777. Twenty years before her death, she had 
 a premonition that she would live to be 99 years of age, l)ut no 
 more. She said that a venerable, comely person, whom she used 
 to call her guardian angel and whom she had seen once before, 
 appeared to her and asked her age. She told him, upon which 
 he replied. "You will not live to an hundred }ears, but almost; 
 you will live to be 9<) and then die." She often mentioned this 
 to her friends and was so confidently persuaded of the truth of it 
 tliat she would frequently count upon how long she had to live. 
 She arose on the morning of her 99th birthday in her usual goQcj

 health. Her son. John Hinman. with whom she hved, said to 
 her. ••\\\-]l. mother, the day has arrived." She rephed, "Yes, 
 and I shall die today." As she did in the afternoon of the day 
 afore told. 
 
 Captain Samuel Hinman, third son of Edward. Jr.. of 
 Stratford, was born in 1705. I k- was hy profession a surveyor of 
 L-md. He removed when a young man to Litehficid, after whieh 
 he became one of the early proprietors and first settlers of Goshen, 
 where he surveyed the town and lands for individuals. He bid 
 off one rii,dit in Coshen on February 14. 1738, and had the 46th 
 choice for his first division. His first survey bill was dated 
 J)ec. 7, 1738. He erected a loi; house there as early as 1738 or 
 1739. and was one of the proprietors committee for laying out 
 most of the early divisions of land in (loshen, and was frequently 
 called to fill the ordinary offices of the town. Although 70 years 
 of age at the breaking out of the Revolutionary war. he served as 
 a soldier in the Continental army. (See p. 709. History of Litch- 
 field County.) He died at Goshen in 1784. Not known whom 
 he married. He had ten children : (1) Lois. m. Norton. (2) 
 Sarah, b. July 5, 1731. (3) Wilkinson, b. June 8, 1733. (4-5) 
 Samuel and Mary, twins, 1). July 26. 1736. (6) [oseph, b.

 at Goshen, March 31. 1740. m. Rhoda Hubbel. She d. Aug. 19, 
 1819, aged 78 years. He m. Ruth Colt soon afterward, and died 
 at Goshen. He was a blacksmith by trade and lived for a time 
 in Torrington, and then removed to Goshen to occupy a tract of 
 land deeded to him by his father, Aug. 12. 1771, in the northeast 
 part of Goshen. He served in the war of the Revolution, enlist- 
 ing from Goshen, Dec. 2^, 1776, "to march for the relief of the 
 Continental army." (See p. 612, Connecticut in the Revo'ution. )

THE IIIN^rANS. II 
 
 Captain Abner Hinman, second son of Phineas, was born 
 at Goshen, June 20, 1781. On Oct. 18, 1803, he married Lydia 
 Beckwith (b. Dec. 7, 1784), of Goshen, daughter of Samuel 
 T'eckwith and Lois Winchell, his wife. Four children were born 
 in Goshen: (i) Erastus, b. Oct. 2, 1804. (2) WILLIS, b. 
 Aug-. 29, 1806. (3) Chauncey, b. Jan. 5, 1808. (4) Julia 
 Ann, b. Dec. 24, 1809, d. 1835, in Phelps, N. Y. In 181 1, Capt. 
 Abner removed to Olean, Cattaraugus County. N. Y., where two 
 more children were born : (5) Charlotte, b. Dec. 16, 181 1. (6) 
 Lydia, b. Aug. 6. 1813, d. 1838 at Lodi Plains, Mich. 
 
 The following is related by Charles Wesley Hinman. son of 
 Willis and grandson of Capt. Abner: "In ]\Iay. 181 1, Captain 
 Abner. with his family, started for Olean, N. Y., where he had 
 two married sisters. Much of the way was through an unbroken 
 forest and often the roads were so uneven that his wife. Lydia, 
 would be obliged to walk and drive while .-\bner held the wagon 
 from upsetting. Even with this precaution, the wagon divl upset 
 several times. Thus they plodded on. building camp fires at night 
 to frighten away the wild beasts. Lydia and the two younger 
 children sleeping in the wagon while Abner and the two oUler 
 slept by the fire upon the ground. On their westward march 
 tliey stopped several days in Madison and Oneida Counties, New 
 York, to visit Abner 's two brothers. Grove and Truman, who 
 owned farms, one on each side of the county line. From thence 
 thev proceeded on their way to Phelps. Ontario CouiUw where 
 Lydia had a brother and a sister living. After a visit at Phelps, 
 thev again took up their journey toward Olean. When within 
 a day's journey of the latter place. Willis Thrall, brother-in-law 
 of Abner, and his man met them with an ox team and a horse. 
 The fresh team and horse were hitched to the wagon and Abner's 
 wearied yoke followed on behind. Lydia and her five-year-old 
 son, Willis, rode the remaining horse, one having died during the 
 long and tiresome journey of nearly four hundred and fifty miles. 
 At Olean, Captain Abner bought one hundred acres of wild land, 
 for which he paid three hundred dollars in cash. This he im- 
 proved by clearing, erecting buildings, planting fruit trees, etc. 
 In January, 181 5, he was engaged in getting stone out of Olean 
 creek for the foundation of a church and a school house. This

 work took liiin into the water more or less, from which exposure 
 he contracted ])ncum(inia and (Hed January 26, 1815." In later 
 years, Lytlia, liis \\it\\ ciften related to her i^'randchildren how 
 Captain Ahner had marched as Captain at tlie head of his com- 
 ])any of mihtia, from ( )]ean to I'.utTalo to aid in the defense of 
 the latter ])lace aj^ainst the T.rilish in the war of 1812, hefore

 father of Aimer, had a presentiment on the day of the latter's 
 birth, that his son Abner would Ijc the hrst of his children to 
 die, and so it proved to be. all the others living to old age. After 
 Abner's deatli, WiUis Thrall bought the farm, agreeing to pay the 
 widow, l.ydia. three hundred dollars therefor, a balance of which, 
 is still unpaid. I'om- weeks after the death of her husband, 
 Lydia's brother Sanmel and brother-in-law. John Richards, came 
 to Clean with two teams and nioved her and her family of little 
 
TITR ITINAfANS. ^3 
 
 ones, with their belongings, to the Richard's farm in Phelps, 
 where she could better provide for and educate her children. In 
 1816 she joined the Presbyterian Church at Oaks Corners and 
 had her children baptized. ( )n July y, 1818. she married Ephraim 
 Taylor of Phelps. (Ephraim Taylor served as private in Cap- 
 tain John Howe's company of infantry, io8th regiment (Brit- 
 ian's) New York Militia, War of 18 12.) Taylor died Decem- 
 ber 2, 1 83 1, leaving her a widow's portion of his farm south of 
 Newark, N. Y. Here she lived until 1877, when she went to 
 make her home with her son. Chauncey Hinman, near Jeddo. 
 Orleans County. N. Y., where she spent the remainder of her 
 days, living to' see descendants to the fourth generation. She 
 died Sunday, October 10, 1880. aged nearly ninety-six years. 
 One of her sons, Willis, himself then a man of seventy-four years, 
 writing at the time of her death, .said: "We feel that the life 
 and death of so noble and true a woman is worthy of more than 
 passing notice. For ninety-six years she trod the weary path of 
 life, displaying a character and disposition that endeared her to 
 all. In her last illness all that the highest skill and tenderest 
 love could do, was done: but exhausted nature was too weak, 
 and with her aged hand in that of her son's, without a struggle, 
 without a groan, she passed away. Grandma Taylor, as she 
 was lovingh- called, had a great love for the Bible, reading it 
 through by course each year for more than forty years. Her 
 mind and memory were as firm and vigorous as in early life, 
 and so lightly rested the weight of years upon her that those who 
 saw her twenty years ago, would hardly note a change of form 
 or feature. Her life had covered the inauguration of the first 
 nineteen Presidents of the United States. She was five years old 
 when Washington was first inaugurated, fifteen years oUl when 
 he died, and lived to within one month of the election of Gar- 
 field. 
 
 "Her love for flowers was never more marked than during 
 the past season. In great variety they raised their bright heads 
 from out the leafy beds her own hands had planted. They decked 
 the trees, hanging from cups ; they climbed the fences, hung about 
 the doorways, bidding the stranger welcome with their shining 
 faces. They bordered the walks and bloomed around the dwell-

 injT like an Eden. I'erhaps she little thought that those she 
 eherished most would rest upon her eold heart l)encath the valley's 
 sod. Yet so it was ; for as gently as the night eloses the sleep- 
 ing petals of the llowers, so gently did the night of death elose 
 around her, hidding her to lie down and rest and, like a tired 
 rhild, she yielded ami sank into that long and dreamless sleep 
 that knows no waking." 
 
 Era.stus Hinman, first child of Captain Ahncr, h. ( )etol:)er 2, 
 i(So4, in Goshen, Connecticut. After the death of his father in 
 Olean, he returned to Goshen in 1816, where he lived with his 
 trrandfather. Phineas, till 1820, when he removed to T'raceville, 
 Truiulmll County, ( )hio. He lived there several years, taught 
 school, owned a farm, joined the Preshyterian Church, and 
 served as leader of the Church choir. Ahout 1826. he married 
 Harriet Stow. Had one son, Edward Erastus, died in infancy. 
 Harriet, the mother, died ahout the same time. He then sold 
 his property there, and moved to Geneva, Ashtalnda County, 
 Ohio, where he established a saw mill, sieve factory, etc. He 
 eventually sold all his property, and died Xovemher 2^, 1887, in 
 Cunningham. Kansas.

 ents to Olean. N. Y., in 1811. After the death of his father in 
 1815, ^\'illis made his home with Willis Thrall and his wife, 
 Lucina Thrall, the latter a sister of Captain Abner Hinman. 
 When eighteen years of age, he went to Newark, N. Y., and 
 learned the carpenter trade. In 1825, he married Mary Taylor, 
 daughter of Ephriam Taylor, his stepfather. He purchased a 
 farm adjoining that of his mother's in Phelps, where he lived 
 about seventy years, during which time he added to his acreage

 a prize ship laden with sugar and cotton worth £60,000, was 
 taken by Captain Hinman of the Alfred, and Captain Thompson 
 of the Raleigh. He also captured and took two prize ships to 
 France in 1778, where he sold them for the benefit of the States. 
 On the return voyage, he was unfortunately compelled to sur- 
 render the Alfred to the enemy. Being cai*ried a prisoner to Eng- 
 land, after a short confinement, he escaped to France, from thence 
 returning to America. In 1779, he commanded the privateer 
 Hancock and captured, or aided in the capture of five ditTerent 
 vessels : The Bellona, Mulberry, Hunter, Charlotte, and the Lady

 Erskine. These were afterwards sold as prizes. The last named 
 vessel was dashingly cut off from the llritish fleet of 21 sails under 
 a convoy of the Thames frigate of 36 .^uns. within sight of the 
 harhor of Xew London. In 1779, he also commanded the Jonatus, 
 a private cruiser carrxing- 29 guns. Again in the same year, he 
 commanded the frigate Trumljull. In 1781, he was commander of 
 the brig Marquis Lafayette and captured the brig Dispatch. In 
 his imprisonment in I'jigland, he was brought before a magistrate 
 for examination when the following dialogue took place: 
 
 Question. How dare you fight His Majesty's ships, you 
 rebel of His Majesty's colonies? 
 
 Answer. I dare fight His Majesty himself, if I meet him on 
 the high seas. 
 
 (J. Wdio are you, sir? 
 
 A. Elisha Hintnan, sir. 
 
 Q. What's your occupation? 
 
 A. I commanded the Alfred, commissioned h\ the govern- 
 ment of the LTnited States in X^orth America. 
 
 O. Where were you born ? 
 
 A. Li Woodbury. 
 
 O. And where (in great scorn) is Woodbury? 
 
 A. Ten miles from Darby, sir. 
 
 The magistrate laughed and said, "Give me your hand," ami 
 called for. some wine. 
 
 Captain Hinman was sent to Fortune prison, from whence he 
 afterward escaped in his shirt sleeves, in a dark, rainv night, 
 walking ten miles in the rain. He sent weird by a market woman 
 to a Mr. Wren, in London, who sent his own carriage and servant 
 and brought Hinman to his house where he remained three weeks, 
 afterward escaping to 1 'ranee and from tlicnce returning to 
 America. 
 
 When Captain Hinman with Com. Thompson was ordered to 
 the coast of France to intercept the English merchant shipping, 
 they arrived at L'Orient and being short of men Hinman went to 
 Paris for six weeks while they were recruiting at L'Orient. At 
 P'aris, he dined with the minister, Duke of Rouen, and with 
 Adams and Franklin. Mrs. Lafayette called upon him and cried 
 bitter!}' when enquiring after her husband who was then in Amer-

 ica with Washington. Captain Hinman was often heard to say 
 
 that Maria Antoinette and Marchioness de Lafayette were the 
 
 two most heautiful laches he had ever met.

 Adoniram Hinmans, ( Ahijah-^. Judge Noah-', Benjamin, 
 Sr.-, Sergeant Edward',) relates the affair of the expedition 
 against Ticonderoga in 1775. as follows : The leaders of the party 
 which had previously rendezvoused at Castleton, \'t., admitted 
 Arnold to join them and it was agreed that Allen should he the 
 commander. W'e proceedeil witliDut delay and arrived in the eve- 
 ning at Lake Champlain. opposite Ticonderoga. Allen and 
 Arnold crossed the lake with something less than a hundred men. 
 After the landing there was a little misnnderstanding hetween 
 Allen and Arnold, as to which of the two shoukl go in tirst, and 
 it was finally agreed that they should go in together side hy side. 
 They advanced and entered the fort ahout (layl)reak. A sentry 
 snapped his old dint lock at them, and withdrew into the fort to 
 the parade ground. We followed and immediately came up. 
 /Mien ascertained where the commander slept, surprised him in 
 hed and demanded in a loud voice the surrender of the fort. The 
 commander asked 'T'>y what authority." when Allen thundered, 
 "I demand it in the name of the great Jehovah and the Continen- 
 tal Congress. Xo resistance was made, not even a gun was fired, 
 and the fort with its stores and ahout fifty prisoners, fell into our 
 hands. 
 
 Adoniram Hinman was present at the execution of Major 
 Andre, which took place near Tappan X'illage in 1780. He says: 
 1 was at that time a soldier and was stationed within a short dis- 
 tance of the place of execution. One of our men l)eing scMuewhat 
 of a joiner, was selected to make a cofiin. At this time Andre 
 was kept in a small stone huilding. and closely guarded. When 
 the time arrived for his execution, which was hetween 2 and 3 
 I'. M., a guard of about 400 men was stationed at the place of con- 
 finement. A procession was formed. In front were a number of 
 American oiificers on horse back, these were followed by the wagon 
 drawn by one horse, containing Andre's coffin. Then a large

 number of officers on foot witli Andre among them. The pro- 
 cession moved to the west about a fourth of a mile up a hill, on 
 the top of which was an open field. In this field was the gallows, 
 made by setting two crotches in the ground, and laying a pole on 
 the to]x The wagon was drawn directly under the pole, and by 
 the aid of a small box used as a step. Andre stepped into the hind 
 end of the wagon, at the same tiine casting his eyes upon the pole 
 over his head, and also upon the scenery by which he was sur- 
 rounded. He was beautifully dressed in a British uniform, and 
 had a head of long hair which was tied with a ribbon, and hung 
 down behind. In a very short time after he mounted the wagon, 
 the executioner stepped into the wagon also with a rope in his 
 hand. Andre took the end of the rope, put it over his head, and 
 drew it snugly to his neck, having declined any assistance from 
 the executioner. The executioner, however, tied his arms behind 
 his back with Andre's own handkerchief, the halter was then tied 
 to the pole overhead and another handkerchief was tied over his 
 eyes. The horse was suddenly started, which gave Andre a terri- 
 ble jerk, but in a short time he was dead. A few moments before 
 the horse was started an officer asked Andre if he had anything to 
 say. He answered, "Nothing, but witness to the world that I die 
 like a brave man." 
 
 Hinman saw Paulding, Williams and \'an Wert at the exe- 
 cution. During the few moments that Andre stood in the wagon, 
 the crowd was perfectly quiet, hardly a sound being heard. But 
 as soon as the horse had started and the rope commenced moving, 
 a soldier exclaimed, "There the poor fellow is gone."

 TILLEY 
 
 Among the passengers that came over on the Mayflower in 
 1620, were two brothers, John and Edward Tilley. The two 
 brothers, with their father, Paul Tilley, were meml)ers of Pas- 
 tor John Robinson's Church at Leyden, Holland, and probably 
 were among the flock that emigrated, with their pastor, from 
 Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England, in 1608, to Amsterdam, and 
 from thence the following year to Leyden. Among the marriages 
 recorded at Leyden is that of Jan Tilley and Pryntgen \'an der 
 N'elde, on March 3. 161 5, at Pieters kirk (opposite the house 
 of John Robinson). Jan was accompanied by his father, i'au- 
 his Tilley, and Pryntgen by her mother, Maeijcken Tay, whose 
 marriage is on record to Abraham A'an der A'elde on June 27, 
 1591. Jan Tilley worked at the trade of saeywercker or sea 
 weaver. Both John and Edward were signers of the compact 
 that was drawn up on board the ^Mayflower before landing. 
 John was a member of the party that landed from the Mayflower 
 for the purpose of exploring the country, previous to locating 
 the colony. His family consisted of his wife. Bridget, and daugh- 
 ter. Elizabeth, wdio must have been bcjrn from previous marriage 
 as she was nine years of age at the time of her father's marriage 
 to Bridget Van der Velde. Both John and his wife died in the 
 great sickness of the first winter, l)rought on by exposm-e and 
 lack of proper food, and were buried in the "bluft' by the water

 JoTTX TTowr.AND was horn in England in t5()2 and was 
 probably of the Leyden flock, as he acted as steward to ( ioveruor 
 John Carver, and was considered one of his family up to the time 
 of Carver's death, which occurred in planting time in 1621. Pie- 
 was the 13th signer of the compact and took i)art in the numerous 
 exploring expeditions that were sent out. He was a prominent 
 num in the colony,' acting as assistant or deputy a greater part 
 of the time. Owing to the small returns on their investment, 
 tlie stock company, which had been formed for. this undertak- 
 ing, was terminated by the colonists agreeing to pay the "Mer- 
 chant Adventurers" t,8oo pounds in nine ecpial annual instal- 
 ments, beginning in 1628. In 1626 John liowland and seven 
 other planters (William Bradford, Miles Standish. Isaac Aller- 
 ton, Edward \\'inslow. ^^'illianl Brewster, John Alden, and 
 Thomas Prince) and four London friends undertook the pay-

 the colonists began to spread out around the bay. beyc^nd the

 established their home on the bay at Rocky Xook, at the mouth 
 of Jones's River, about a mile and a half to the north of the rock. 
 
 John Alden. the cooper from Southampton, had married Priscilla 
 Mullins, Elizabeth Tilley's girlhood friend and companion, and built 
 hi.s home near the arm of the sea just west of Powder Point, whicli 
 was about two miles farther to the north than Howlands. Miles 
 Standish, the soldier-captain, settled a little farther on the north, near 
 the shore southeast of Captain's Hill, thus attaching' his military title 
 to the neighboring eminence. Elder Brewster became Standish's neigh- 
 bor a little later and lived east of the hill. Still farther on the north, 
 Edward Winslow established his estate of Careswell, where, in later 
 days, Daniel Webster lived and died in Marshfield. Isaac AUerton 
 withdrew from the colony and removed to New Haven. Governor 
 Bi-adford. during his la.st years, was almost the only one of those who 
 came on the first ship, who still lived in the village about the Rock.

 WARING 
 
 "The W'arings first appear in history in the first century of 
 tile Christian era as a tribe of .\ngles, li\ing along the southern 
 coast of the iJaltic, and as far south as the valley of the lower 
 I'dbe. Their language was the Anglo-Saxon. in A. D., "547. 
 some of the tri1)e settled in l'".ngland, esi)ecially on the river Sev- 
 cvu with Jutes, Saxons, etc.. sul)se(picntl_\- spreading over the 
 adjoining counties, thence into Ireland. Wales, Australia, India, 
 Cape Colonw and mosth' during and since the 17th century into 
 Xorth .America. A large part of the remainder of the tribe allied 
 themselves in the 9th century with the clan adjoining on the 
 south or east known as the Kugii (or Russ). Together they 
 
KINI)Ki:i) I'AM 11.1 i':s. 47 
 
 migrated north eastward, subjecting the Finns. Slavs, parti}' 
 also the Tartars and founding A. D.. 862. the Russian lunpire. 
 Gradually the Warings and the Rugii (Russ) lost to a large 
 extent their separate identity hy inter-niixing with each dthcr 
 and the natives and adopting the language (Slav..nici and insti- 
 tutions of the latter. A niajoritx of th.e rcsiilne reninved into 
 other parts of Europe." 
 
 Richard W'akixc. (son of Christopher Waring) and his 
 son Richard. Jr.. both Presbyterians and a number of other per- 
 sons, emigrated in 1664 on the ship Endeavor, from southern 
 England to Boston, the entire party settling the ne.xt year at 
 Brookhaven, Lono- Island, on land bought bv them from the 
 Setauket tribe of Indians, for which purchase a ])atent of con- 
 firmation was obtained March 7. 1666. In 1685-1686 he was 
 tenant to 100 acres from James Lloyd, of the Manor of Queen's 
 Milage, Long Island, later owned land at Huntington. Long 
 Island. His name and that of his descendants is variously spelled. 
 Waren, Warren, Warring, Waring, etc. (History of Waring 
 family.) Richard had two other sons. ]\Iichael and Ednuuul. 
 
 Edmund Waring, son of Richard Waring, was born. 1673. 
 on Long Island. He married in 1698-9 Elizabeth Bouton, 
 daughter of John and Abigail Bouton of Norwalk. Conn. They 
 lived at Oyster Bav, Long Island, where two S(ins were born. 
 Edmund. Jr.. in 1700. and Isaac in 1702. In 1704 they removed 
 to Norwalk. Conn., residing in that part of the town now called 
 Rowav'ton. His estate extended along Five Mile river and on 
 Rhoten Hill stood his home, lie also owned land in Berkshire 
 Countv. Mass. There is still in existence, on b'ive MiU' river a 
 stone pier built by him. Both he and his son Edmund. Jr., were 
 large subscribers to St. Paul's Episcopal church. Xorwalk. 
 founded in 1737. After removing to Norwalk the following 
 children were born: John 1704. Solomon 1707. Mar\ 1708, 
 Nathan 1710, Jacob 1713. Michael, 1715, Eliakim 1717, Elizabeth 
 1719, Abigail 1723, Hannah 1725, Edmund Waring died .nt Xor- 
 walk Aug. 5. 1749. "Not a few of his descendants strongly 
 assert that he was a near relative of General Joseph Warren 
 (1741-1775) of Bunker Hill fame; and several of them, residing 
 nine miles from Norwalk, possess the general's sword, wallet and 
 
48 KTNnRF.D 1\\M]I.TI-:S. 
 
 letters. That the g-eneral frequently visited his ( Edmund War- 
 ing's ) chil(h-en, and tliat liis ( Ethnund Waring's ) gjand son, 
 Joseph, was named after the general, are acknowledged facts. 
 Just how close the affinity was. however, is yet to l)e ascertained."

 was horn at Xorwalk, Conn., Dec. 31. 1704. He married Kather-

 Conn.. probal)l\- the latter ])lace. as his father was one of the 
 founders of the Congregational church at Darien. in 1744, and it 
 is quite probable that the family lived there at the time. He luar- 
 
 ried Tryphena (born March 6. 1748, died Aug. 22, 1851 ).

 wealthiest churches in the west, which position he held lour

 ]\ P. liliss and Ira 1). Sankey, who subsequently became the 
 famous leaders of Gospel Song, also with I). L. Moody, who 
 afterwards was recognized as the greatest evangelist of his 
 time. Tn the spring of 1872 he assisted in drilling the chorus of 
 singers that went from Chicago to Boston to take part in the 
 great choir of 17.000 voices and 3,000 nnisicians that made u]) 
 the festival chorus of the Teace jubilee, organized to celebrate 
 the ]K>ace that had come to oin- conntry, so recentl\ sexcred l)y

 solo voices to make up the male choir, chosen to render some of 
 the selections, of the festival. In 1874 he removed to I'.oston

 tinned his association with them, visiting;" (nxat Britain several 
 times, as well as assisting in the work in the ])rineipal cities of 
 our own conntry. During these }ears he was associateil at differ- 
 ent times with Dr. George F. Pentecost and ^Nlajor D. W. 
 Whittle. In the autumn of 1890. with his wife and son. (j. 
 Waring Stcbbins, who was coming to the front as a vocalist and 
 musician, Mr. Stebbins went with Dr. Pentecost to spend the 
 winter in India in evangelistic work. Before returning to 
 America they gave services of song in many of the larger cities 
 of that country, also in Egypt and Palestine, and in Naples, 
 Rome, Paris, and London. In addition to his evangelistic work 
 he has conducted the singing in many of the state and national 
 religious conventions, notald}-. some of the National Christian 
 Endeavor Conventions, on one occasion there being 30.000 and on 
 another 50,000 delegates in attendance. In lyoo he conducted 
 the music in the Ecumenical Missionary Conference, held in 
 New York City, which was the largest and most representative 
 bodv of the kind ever held, th -re being delegates from many 
 of the European countries, as we'l as the great missionary 
 fields of the world. As nuich as his voice has been heard and 
 ai)preciated throughout the world, he is best known by the nuisic 
 he has written. He early manifested a talent for composition 
 of no mean order and at the time he ])ecame associated with 
 Moody and Sankey he began writing for the books known as 
 "Gospel Ilxinns," of which he became associate editor with Ira 
 D. Sankey and James McGranahan. He was also associate edi- 
 tor of various hymn books that followed this series, besides 
 beinpf sole editor of two more recent h\ inn books. His work as 
 a writer of this class of music is recognized 1)\' the best critics 
 as belonging to the highest order, not a few of his productions 
 being considered as classics of their kind, and many of them 
 attaining great popularity, as. for instance, "Evening Prayer," 
 "Tlie (ireen Hill." "In the Secret of His Presence." "The Home- 
 land." ".^aved by (irace," etc. Tlie record of his life work would

 buildings in Columbia and neighboring towns stand as monu- 
 ments to his initiative and enterprise. Not a few have known his 
 (juiet philanthropy, notwithstanding the entire lack of egotism as 
 a characteristic in his nature. While the greater portion of 
 Columbia was destroyed by Sherman's forces, w4ien they halted
