Sr^frtg CCoptea printct in ti^is form. No. /^ < EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTON. TOURING many years Groton was a frontier town, situated -L^ relatively a long distance from Boston. At that period tliere were but few settlements in the colon)', and the younger generations were wont to live near the home of their childhood. The popula- tion of the town, through the first century of its e.xistence, was made up largely of the descendants of its founders and early set- tlers. In this Appendix, I purpose to give a short account of some of the families living here during that time, including a brief notice of the petitioners for the plantation of Groton, and of a few other persons connected with the history of the town. It will be seen that a considerable number of them came from Watertown and Lynn. SSnncroft. Benjamin Bancroft, the son of Thomas, of Read- ing, is the ancestor of the families of this name, living in Groton and its vicinity. He married Anna, daughter of John and Anna (Tarbell) Lawrence, of Lexington, and had nine children. He lived for a while at Charlestown, but afterward, about the year 1728, removed to Groton, where he died July 21, 1787, aged 86 years, and his widow also, April 3, 1790, aged 87 years. He was a tanner by trade, and lived a short distance south of the Uni- tarian Church, on the east side of the Great Road. His tannery was on the opposite side of the way. The stone powder magazine, used by the State during the Revolution, was situated on his land. Benjamin, the eldest child, followed the occupation of his father, and lived on the old homestead. He was town treasurer and a dea- con of the church, besides holding other positions of trust. He EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTON. married Alice, daughter of William and Mary (Farnsworth) Tar- bell, and had eight children. His wife died November 29, 1781, aged 51 years, and he died October 27, 1804, aged 80 years. Edmund, the second child, removed to that part of Groton, now Pepperell, where he carried on farming. He was town treasurer of Pepperell for twenty years, and a representative in the General Court. He married, December 30, 1747, for his first wife, Elizabeth Atherton, of Harvard, who died October 6, 1755, and he married, in the year 1758, for his second wife, Mrs. Rachel (Howard) Bar- ron, widow of Jonathan Barron and daughter of Samuel Howard, of Chelmsford. She died June 3, 1784, aged 54 years, and he mar- ried, for the third time, Mrs. Phebe (Lawrence) Bancroft, widow of Jonathan Bancroft, of Salem, and daughter of Colonel William and Susanna (Prescott) Lawrence, of Groton. Edmund died October 25, 1806, aged 79 years, and his widow, November 21, 1808, aged 74 years. He had four children by his first marriage, and eight by his second. Dr. Amos Bancroft, a graduate of Harvard College in the class of 1791, and for many years a distinguished physician of Groton, was a son of the second wife. Deacon Benjamin and Edmund were the only sons of Benjamin Bancroft who grew up to manhood. iScItt'On. Two brothers of this name, sons of Ellis and [Grace ?] Barron, of Watertown, were original proprietors of Gro- ton ; Ellis, the elder brother, owning a fifteen-acre right, and John, the other, a seven-acre right. Ellis married Hannah, widow of Timothy Hawkins, of Watertown, and had several children, before coming to Groton, where others were born. John also had a family, but now for a long time there has been no representative of the name in the town. EJias Barron, of Groton, was in Captain Lovewell's fight. May 8, 1725, at Pigwacket, where he was wounded and afterward lost. The sum of ^^30 was allowed his family, by the General Court, June 17, 1725 ; and according to the record in the printed "Journal," of December 21, 1726, it appears that his wiitow's name was Priscilla. Samuel Barron left a small bequest to the town, which still keeps his name in grateful remembrance. The following is an extract from his will, dated February 5, 1753 : — "My Will .ind pk-suer is that the first Church of Christ in Groton should have suni thing oule of mv Estate for the poore of saicd Church and I do hereby EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTON. Give fo the saied Church the sum of thirteen pounds five shillings and four pence Lawfull money to be paied to the saied Church oute of my Estate by my Executer within one year next after my decease to be Lett oute to Interest by the saied Church and the Interest to be approprated for the Bennefit of the poore of saied Church as the Church shall order but the princaple never to be demineshed." 2}l00d. Three of the petitioners for the plantation of Groton, viz., Richard, John, and Robert, bore this name, and all three were sons of James and Ellen Blood, of Concord. Another brother, James, was an early proprietor of the town. Richard was the only one of these brothers that lived in Groton, and he is the ancestor of most of the name in this neighborhood. He was the largest proprietor in the town, owning a sixty-acre right, and was one of the first board of selectmen chosen by the inhabitants, and also . . town clerk in the year 1668. He married Isabel ^:^, and had ' ' "f"*^*' Mary, who died April 19, 1662 ; James, who was killed by the Indians, September 13, 1692; Nathaniel, who married, June 13, 1670, Hannah, daughter of James and Elizabeth (Long) Parker ; Elizabeth, who married, December i, 1686, Thomas Tarbell, the third of the name in Groton; and Joseph, who was an original proprietor of the town. Richard, the father, lived in the district called "Nod," and died December 7, 1683. Utilise. The name of London Bridge will have more interest for the inhabitants of Groton, when it is known that he was a resi- dent of the town, and that he remembered it in his will. This instrument, bearing date May 23, 1775, is on file in the Middlesex Probate Office at East Cambridge, and was presented for probate, January 25, 1776. The following are extracts from it: — " I do hereby give and Bequeath the s* sura of Thirteen pounds six shil- lings and eight pence to the Church of Christ in Groton afores*. the Interest of which Sum is to be annually given to the poor of s''. Chh. at the Discretion of their Com'." ." . . . He then makes provision for the payment of his debts and a small bequest to Captain Henry Farwell, and adds : — "and if that should not be sufficient for those purposes my will is that mv Executor take so much out of the above given to the Chh. as to Defray the Charges Abovesi and the Remainder be applyed by the Chh. in manner as Aboves.'' for their pour." EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTON. CJOOJIfr. Timothy Cooper was one of the original petitioners for the plantation of Groton, and his name appears in the first list of selectmen, appointed by the General Court. He married Sarah, daughter of Joseph and Hester (Pierce) Morse, of Water- town, and had four children. In the inventory of his estate, on file in the Middlesex Probate Office at East Cambridge, it is recorded that he was " Sleaine by the Indeins the Second day of march 1675-6." This is the date of the first attack on the town in King Philip's War. ^ablS. Dolor Davis was a petitioner for the plantation of Groton, and one of the first board of selectmen appointed by the General Court. He came to this country from England, about the year 1640, and lived for a while at Barnstable. He is the ancestor of many of the name now living in Middlesex and Worcester coun- ties. He married Margery, sister of Major Simon Willard, and at one time was a resident of Concord. He probably lived here but a short time ; he died at Barnstable in the year 1673. jFStllBlDOrtf). Matthias Farnsworth, the progenitor of the numerous families in Groton bearing this name, came from Lynn. He was an original proprietor of the town, and owned a twenty-acre right. His farm was situated on both sides of the road leading to Harvard, a little south of James's brook, more than a mile from the village. He was living at Lynn in the year 1657, and at Groton in 1664, though he may have been a resident of each place earlier than these respective dates. He died in the latter part of the year 1689, aged 77 years. The following is a copy of his will, on file in the Middlesex Probate Office at East Cambridge : — Groton Jenewarey I5"> : 16SS-9 and in the 4 yere of the Rahi of King Jams the sacond I mathyas farnworth sen of groton in the county of midlsix in new ingland aged about 77 yers being wall considrat and of sound and parfit Judg- ment and understanding thanks be to god for it I being sensabl of my many frailtyes & unsartanty of my natueral lif and knowing what disaduantag many times hapens for want of a Right sating the hous in order being desiras to ackt and satl things that consarns me doe mak conshans and doe daclare this prasant instrement to be my last will & tastement in manar and form as foloweth making uoyd all formar wills ather by word or dead but first I Commit my soul to all myty god my Greater hoping I shal Rasaue full pardon of all my sins throw Jasus Christ and I commit my bodey to the earth from whans it was taken to be beured in such deasant manar as mv exsecters shall see meet and EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTON.

James Robertson, an original proprietor of the town, married his wife, January 16, 1667, and she died December 22, 1729, aged 82 years. I am not sure about the order of the births of his children, but I suggest the fol- lowing : Elizabeth [?], who probably married James Robertson ; Joseph, born November 17, 1657, at Lynn, and died February 20, 1686-7 ; Mary, born October ir, 1660, at Lynn, and married, April II, 1676, Samuel Thatcher, of Watertown ; Matthias, born at Groton ; John, who married, December 8, 1686, Hannah, daughter of John and Sarah (Eliot) Aldis, of Dedham, and had nine chil- dren ; Benjamin, who married Mary, daughter of Jonas and Mary (Loker) Prescott, and had ten children ; Samuel, who married, December 12, 1706, widow Mary (VVhitcomb) Willard, and had three children ; Abigail, born January 17, 1671, and probably married John Hutchins, of Groton ; Sarah [?], who perhaps mar- ried Simon Stone ; and Jonathan, born June i, 1675, married Ruth , and had fourteen children. John, one of the sons named above, was an influential man in all town affairs. He was an ensign in the militia, a selectman, a representative to the General Court from the year 1708 to 1714 inclusive, excepting 1711, and a deacon in the church. In the autumn of 17 11, he was in command of one of the eighteen gar- risons in the town. The name of Matthias Farnsworth, of Groton, appears in a list of prisoners in the hands of the French and Indians in Canada, March 5, 1710-n, though there is nothing in the record to show when he was captured. He was probably the son of Matthias, Jr., and, if so, he was a young man about twenty years old at the date of the list. The first settlement of Charlestown, New Hampshire, — then known as Number 4, — was made in the year 1740, by three brothers, Samuel, David, and Stephen Farnsworth, natives of Groton. They all became leading men in the town, and dis- tinguished themselves on several occasions in fights with the Indians. Samuel Farnsworth, the eldest brother, was killed in a skirmish. May 2, 1746 ; David was taken prisoner by a party of Indians, April 20, 1757, and carried to Canada. He managed to escape, and reached home, probably soon after his capture. Stephen, the youngest brother, also had his bitter experience with the savages. He was captured April 19, 1746, and taken to Montreal, where he remained seventeen months, when he was EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTON. exchanged. His health was so broken down by the hardships of his captivity that he never fully regained it. He died September 6, 1 77 1, leaving behind him the example of a brave man and a useful citizen. jFfirriJljjton. Matthew Farrington was one of the petitioners for the plantation of Groton, and a member of the first board of selectmen appointed by the General Court. He was a son of Edmund Farrington, of Lynn, and was born in England. Wilson. Joseph Gilson was one of the original proprietors of the town, and owned a nine-acre right. He married, November i8, 1660, Mary Caper, at Chelmsford, and removed from that town to Groton before March 5, 1665-6. He died in the summer of 1676, at Concord, where he went, probably, when Groton was deserted by its inhabitants. An inventory of his estate is on file in the Middle- sex Probate Office at East Cambridge. He left five children, viz., Mary, born November 17, 1662, at Chelmsford ; Timothy; Joseph, born March 8, 1666-7, ^t Groton, married twice, and had five children by each wife ; Sarah, born June 25, 1669, at Groton ; and John, born April 23, 1674, at Groton, married Sarah ^-, and had five children. Both Joseph and John lived and died at Groton, and John's widow married. May 17, 1709, for her second husband, Richard WarnerjlDy whom she had four children. Joseph Gilson, a grandson of the original proprietor, was one of the seven Groton men with Captain Lovewell in his fight at Pigwacket, and the only one of the seven who escaped unhurt. One Joseph Gilson of Groton, presented a petition to the General Court, June 11, 1760, "representing his Services and Sufferings, for his Country praying a Compensation." |i^ «ind Eleazer, born November 9, 1660. He 14 EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTON. married, for his second wife, Mrs. Eunice (Brooks) Carter, widow of Samuel Carter, and had a daughter Sarah, who was born December 12, 1697, after the father had reached the age of 80 years. His six oldest children were born at Woburn ; before coming to Groton, he lived for a while at Chelmsford, where several others were born. He died in the year 1701, aged about 84 years. James's house lot lay on both sides of the principal street in the village, just south of the small stream which to this day is called James's Brook, named after him. His house was one of the garrisons during King Philip's War, and it was with Captain Parker that the Indian chief, on the night of March 13, 1676, talked, as mentioned in Hubbard's " Nar- rative." In the assault made on the town, July 27, 1694, his son James and Mary, his son's wife, were killed by the Indians, and " several " of their children carried away captives. Another son, Josiah, was a captain, and served in the war against the Indians ; he was in command at Groton, July 21, 1706, when Nathaniel Healy, of Newton, one of his company, was "waylaid " and slain, together with Ebenezer Seger, also of Newton, "as they were going to Meet- ing On the Sabbath day." A brother of Seger's was taken captive at the same time. Joseph Parker, the other original proprietor, was probably a brother of James, and the ancestor of the most numer- ous branches of the family in this neighborhood. He was a large landowner in Groton, Chelmsford, and Dunstable. The town's brandmark, used probably for marking cattle, was approved by the Governor and magistrates, on his petition dated May 31, i656. He married Margaret -, and had the following children, born at Chelmsford, on the dates set against their names : Joseph, March 30, 1653; Anna, February 2, 1655, died young; Mary, October 28, 1657 ; John, November 4, 1660, died October 8, 1661 ; Anna, November 16, 1663 ; Sarah, November 16, 1666, died Sep- tember 15, 1704. Joseph, the father, died in the year 1690, leaving a large estate. Joseph, the son, married, first, Elizabeth • -, and, secondl)', November 19, 1684, Hannah Blood ; he had three chil- dren by his first wife, and four by his second. He died about the year 1725. Isaac Parker, of this town, was one of the early settlers of Charlestown, New Hampshire, where he went about the year 1740. He was taken prisoner by the Indians, April 19, 1746, and re- mained in captivity until the following winter, when he was released. EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTON. 15 }|JvrSCOtt. This is the most distinguished name in the annals of Groton, and the families bearing it have been numerous. Jonas, the progenitor, was the son of John and Mary (Platts) Prescott, and was born at Lancaster, in June, 1648. He was a blacksmith by trade, and owned the mill in the south part of Groton, now within the limits of Harvard. It is said that a grant of land made by the town, about the year 1675, when it was much in need of a black- smith, induced him to remove nearer to the village. He built a house and shop on the lot, which was situated on the easterly side of James's Brook, perhaps a third of a mile south of Lawrence Academy. He bought lands, until he became one of the largest owners of real estate in the town. Two years ago, a piece of wall was removed, which separated a part of this lot from the highway, near where it forks from the Boston road, and which contained a stone bearing this inscription : — I. P. 1680 Rebuilt by O. P. 1784 Rebuilt by S. J. Park 1841. The initials I. P. are those of Jonas Prescott, and O. P. those of his grandson. Dr. Oliver Prescott. Jonas married, December 14, 1672, Mary, daughter of John and Mary (Draper) Loker, of Sudbury, and they had four sons and eight daughters. Two of the sons died young, but all the other children lived to grow up and have families. The eight daughters, with one exception, married Groton men, and were blessed with a numerous offspring. Jonas filled many important positions in the town, and represented it in the General Court dur- ing the years 1699 'i"^' 1705 ; he died December 31, 1723, aged 75 years. His youngest son, Benjamin, was a man of strong character and commanding appearance, and like his father filled many places of usefulness. He married, June 11, 1718, Abigail, daughter of the Honorable Thomas and Mary (Wilson) Oliver, of Cambridge, and 1 6 EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTON. they had three sons and four daughters. He lived on the old homestead, where he died August 3, 1735, at the age of 42 years, after a short illness caused by over-exertion while haying. His three sons were all remarkable men, and exerted much influence in shaping public affairs during an important period. James, the eldest son, represented the town in the Genera! Court, as his father and grandfather had done before him ; was a member of the Senate and of the Executive Council. At the beginning of the Revolution, he was a member of the Provincial Congress and of the Board of War, and subsequently Sheriff of Middlesex County, and a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. He died February 15, 1800, aged 79 years. William, the second son, settled on a large estate owned by his father, in that part of Groton called the Gore, now included in Pepperell. He was a Lieutenant in the expedition sent in the year 1755 to remove the French Neutrals from Nova Scotia, and a Colo- nel of Minute Men enrolled in this neighborhood in the year 1774. As commander of the American forces at the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775, his name will never be forgotten. In subsequent years, at various times he filled the offices of town clerk, select- man, and representative in the General Court. He was the father of William Prescott, the lawyer and jurist, and the grandfather of William H. Prescott, the distinguished historian. He died October 13, 1795, aged 69 years, and was buried at Pepperell ; his widow died October 21, 182 1, at the advanced age of 88 years. On the opposite page is a representation of the monument in the Pepperell Burying Ground, erected to their memory. It consists of a thick slate slab, resting on a solid granite foundation. Oliver, the third and youngest son, graduated at Harvard Col- lege, in the class of 1750, and studied the profession of medicine, in which he afterward had a wide reputation and an extensive prac- tice. He was town clerk during thirteen years, and selectman during thirty-two years. Before the Revolution, he held the re- spective offices of Major, Lieutenant-colonel, Colonel, and General, in the militia. Subsequently, in the year 1778, he was appointed third Major General of the militia, and in 1781 second Major General ; but soon afterward he resigned the position, on account of ill health. He was a Justice throughout the Commonwealth, a member of the Board of War, a member of the Council of Massa- chusetts until he declined the office, and, in the year 1779, was EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTON. 17 appointed Judge of Probate, and continued as such until his death. He took an active part in suppressing Shays's Rebellion, which had many supporters in this neighborhood. He was one of the original Trustees of Groton Academy, and the first President of the Board of Trustees. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and of various medical societies. He died November 17, 1804, aged 73 years. ^clttcU. A family of this name settled in Groton about the beginning of the last century. It is said to be distinct from the Sawtells, who were here before them, though it is not improbable that they both came from the same stock. The head of the family was Nathaniel, and he had two sons and two daughters. Na- thaniel, the elder son, lived at Charlestown, and was a mariner. He sailed on a voyage, and was never afterward heard from. Josiah, the second son, lived in Groton, and was the last rep- resentative of the town to the General Court, under the charter of William and Mary. By his will, dated September 3, 1775, he bequeathed to the town and church three farms and some other property, of which the proceeds constitute the greater part of the present Groton Ministerial Fund. He was buried in the old Bury- ing Ground. Some years ago, his gravestone was taken to the new cemeterj', and the following is a copy of the inscription on it : — Josiah Sartell Esq. died Augf 30'^ 1784. aged 74 Mary Sartell his widow, died March. 30"" 1790. aged 80. and their Children who died in minority Nathaniel Sartell Esq. his father, who died Jan^ 16'? 1741. aged 60 Abigail Green her sister, who died Dec' 2o'-|? 1790. aged 83. and other relations. From death's arrest no age is free. Removed from the Old Cemetery to the new by N.ithaniel Gillson to the lot of Simeon Gillson. His widow, Mary, also made a bequest to the church. The following is the first clause in her will, which is dated November 28, 1789, and on file in the Middlesex Probate Office at East Cambridge : — EARLY SETTLERS OF GROTOX. "I give and bequeath to the first church in the Town of Groton aforesaid my Silver Tankard, and the sum of Fifteen pounds Lawful! money, to be for the use of said Church Forever " ,S'y^»«*S^«' i^c?gv l^'gWW ■^^^M^b^'^ ^s^^yss^wv^^y^^ N\j^^;m, v^gwggw ^^^^W^^j^^aJ^"^^ MaJWu^m*^ W^ggiii /-:iic;^^:^'r.^^^-a ^S^^hvilJ^Uj ^»**«^**«*' :^s:;^» V, ./*',V,*,:;^W, ^>;'^^y^^'^^^ wW.
