 Dear Kinsfolk: 
 
 I present in this volume the result of long and arduous labor. "When 
 a boy, I came across a manuscript diagram, or tree, which was made by 
 Elijah (696), and which interested me so much that I made additions to 
 it, and, in 1848, published a genealogical chart of the family. That pub- 
 lication had the effect of awakening some interest in our family history, 
 and I have since that time been more or less engaged, when opportunity 
 has offered, in making collections and obtaining the requisite facts and 
 data, hoping to put them into other hands for publication. Tailing in this 
 latter point, I have myself proceeded with the labor of getting the work 
 through the press. In securing tasteful and accurate typography, much 
 credit is due to the printers, Messrs.. Alfred Mudge & Son, of Boston. 
 I have been conscientiously careful that the whole should be correct'and 
 reliable, and to insert nothing as fact that is not well authenticated. 
 
 Errors have undoubtedly occurred in repeatedly transcribing, and 
 otherwise ; and any one who may discover any incorrectness, of any kind, 
 is requested to inform me, so that a leaf of such corrections may be 
 printed, which will be sent to each subscriber. And, furthermore, I shall 
 always be pleased to receive additional accounts, which may at some time 
 be published as supplementary to the present volume. It is possible, if 
 leisure should occur, that I may hereafter have a chart or genealogical 
 tree prepared and printed, having barely the names, arranged to show all 
 the connections at a glance. 
 
 My correspondents and helpers have been so numerous that I must 
 thank them all together, but as heartily as though it were done singly 
 and by name. 
 
 I have faith that these records will be prized by the generations to 
 come; and I also trust that their influence and tendency will be only 
 for good. 
 
 Respectfully, 
 
 EDWARD H. FLETCHER. 
 
INTBODUCTION. 
 
 A genealogy in book form cannot be so quickly understood as 
 in a diagram or tree ; but a little examination will render it intelli- 
 gible. In this volume every name has its number placed at the 
 left, and each one which has a plus mark, thus +, on the right, 
 recurs again in capital letters, with the same number it bore first, 
 placed in parenthesis on the right. The plan here adopted con- 
 templates the grouping of the members of the respective branches, 
 each branch starting from the fourth generation. 
 
 Part I. comprises four generations, which are all the Fletchers 
 known to have been in America before the year 1700, except the 
 following : — 
 
 Moses Fletcher came in the "Mayflower," and died in a few 
 months, unmarried. 
 
 Edward Fletcher, of Boston ; cutler by trade ; admitted towns- 
 man, member of church, and freeman in 1|40.' Probate overseer ; 
 became a preacher, and preached at Dover, N. H. ; went back to 
 England, and had a living (says Calamy, II. 330) at Dunsburn, 
 from whence he was ejected, and he then came again to Boston. 
 In his will, February, 1660, he mentions no children, and probably 
 had none. [Savage's Gen. Diet.'] 
 
 Joseph, Milesij a nd Ludovick Fl etcher , are found among immi- 
 grants to Virginia in 1635. 
 
 John Fletcher, of Wethersfield, m. before 1641, Mary, dau. of 
 widow Joyce Ward. Removed to Milford, and joined the church 
 1641, after living there two years. He died Apr. 18, 1662. His 
 children were : Sarah, christened 1641 ; Hannah, chr. 1643 ; Eliza- 
 beth, chr. 1645 ; Samuel, chr. 1649, died young ; Abigail, chr. 1652, 
 and thus leaving no male issue. [Savage's Gen. Diet.'] 
 
b INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Joseph Fletcher, of Salisbury, Ms., was probably an immigrant. 
 It is recorded, May 18, 1653, " Josep Fletcher servant to William 
 Hall of Salisbury is exempted from any presse this summer, being 
 the chief stay of his [Hall's] family." He married June 18, 1660, 
 and was then twenty-four years old, and a farmer. They had a 
 daughter, Mary, born April 9, 1662, who died Jan. 23, 1683. He 
 died March 15, 1700, and his wife three days previous. 
 
 Col. Benjamin Fletcher, governor of New York, 1693 ; left no 
 children in this country. 
 
 Seth Fletcher was a minister in Wells, Me., 1656, where he mar- 
 ried Mary, daughter of Major Bryan Pendleton, 1665; removed 
 to Saco, Me., and was there in 1674 ; removed to Elizabeth, N. J., 
 where he was settled, and where he died Aug. 1682. His estate 
 was valued £559. 5s. He had only one son, Pendleton. 
 
 Pendleton Fletcher, last named, was born 1666, and when four- 
 teen years old, was adopted by his grandfather, Major Bryan Pen- 
 dleton. He married Sarah, daughter of Eoger Hill, and had 
 several children, whose names are unknown. He was captured by 
 the Indians in 1697, and carried prisoner to Canada, where he died 
 in captivity before 1702. (See p. 244.) 
 
 Pendleton Fletcher, a grandson of the last-mentioned Pendle- 
 ton, was bom 1707 ; lived in Biddeford, Me. ; died 1807, ae. 99^. 
 
 Following Part I. are the twenty-three branches of the family, 
 some of the parts embracing several branches. 
 
 The descendants of Eobert, whose names are herein contained, 
 number within twoscore of four thousand, which, divided into gene- 
 rations, are as follows : 
 
 1st generation, 1 ; 2d, 5 ; 3d, 20 ; 4th, 82 ; 5th, 169 ; 6th, 406 ; 
 7th, 854 ; 8th, 1414 ; 9th, 891 ; 10th, 117 ; 11th, 1. Total, 3960.

FLETCHER GENEALOGY. 
 
 PAET I. 
 
 COMPRISING THE FIEST FOUR GENERATIONS. 
 
 The name was originally written Fledger, and was the 
 name of the trade of a maker of arrows ; or, as some think, 
 of affixing the feather upon the arrow — fledging it.* The 
 French word flechier has precisely the same meaning, and 
 some have hence inferred a French extraction. All the 
 traditions concur, however, in making our early ancestors of 
 English or Welsh stock ; and Yorkshire, one of the north- 
 ern counties of England, is named as the spot whence 
 they emigrated to America. The name has been, and still 
 is, common there. Rev. Elijah Fletcher, of Hopkinton, 
 N. H. (b. 1747, d. 1786), the first, so far as we know, who 
 made genealogical collections of the family, believed that 
 our great ancestor, Robert Fletcher, came from Yorkshire ; 
 and that account was gathered when Robert's great-grand- 
 children were living. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 1. ROBERT 1 settled at Concord, Mass., in 1630; in 
 which year seventeen ships arrived in Massachusetts Bay and 
 at Plymouth. He had then three sons, Luke, William, and 
 Samuel, and was himself thirty-eight years of age. It was 
 five years later that Concord was organized, the twentieth 
 town incorporated within what are now the limits of Mas- 
 sachusetts, and his name appears in the earliest records of 
 that town.f In the court files of Middlesex county his name

 t The following petition is copied from the history of Concord, by Mr. 
 Shattuck, who speaks of the early settlers of this town as among the 
 most wealthy, intelligent, and pious of the early colonists. They chose 
 this location probably on account of the beautiful open plain land and the

 broad meadows of the Concord river, or Musketaquid (grass-grown) of 
 the Indians. They were, however, disappointed by the "povertie and 
 meannesse" of the soil and the "badness and wetnes " of the meadows ; 
 and ten years after the organization of the town, and fifteen after the 
 arrival of Robert * io this country, the discouraging state of affairs in 
 the settlement is thus set forth by its leading citizens : 
 
 " To the Wordl Governor, Deputy Governor, with the rest of the Assistants and Deputies 
 of the Court now assembled. The humble petition of the Inhabitants of Concord 
 sheweth .- 
 
 That, whereas, we have lived most of us in Concord since our cominsr over into these 
 parts, and are not conscious unto ourselves that we have heen grossly negligent to employ 
 that talent God hath put into our hands to our best understanding: Neither have we found, 
 any special hand of God gone out against us, only the povertie and meannesse of the place 
 we live in not answering the lahor bestowed upon it, together with the badness and wetnes 
 of the meadowes, hath consumed most of the estates of those who have hitherto borne the 
 burden of changes amongst us, and therewith the bodily ubilities of maney. This being soe 
 eminent above what hath befallen other plantations, hath occasioned many at several times 
 to depart from us, and this last winter, in the end of it, a 7th or 8th part of the Towne went 
 to the southward with Mr. Jones, and many more resolved to goe after them, so that maney 
 houses in the Towne stand voyde of Inhabitants, and more are likely to be ; and we are con- 
 fident that if conscience had not restrained, fearing the dissolution of the Towne by their 
 removeall, very many had departed to one place or other where Providence should have 
 hopefully promised a livelehood. 
 
 This our condition we thought it our duty to informe you of, fearing lest if more go from 
 us we shall neither remayne as a congregation nor a towne, and then .»uch as are most un- 
 willing to depart, whiles there remayne any hopes of ordinance among us, will be enforced 
 to leave the place, which if it should come to pass, wee desire this may testify on the behalf. 
 of such it was not a mynd unsatisfied with what was convenient, which occasioned them to 
 depart, but meerely to attaine a subsistence for themselves and such as depend on'them, 
 and to enjoy ordinances. It it be sayd we may goe to other places and meet with as man/ 
 difficulties as here, experience herein satisfies as against many reasons. Such as hardly sub- 
 sisted with us, and were none of the ablest among us, either for labour or ordering their 
 occasions, have much thriven in other places they have removed unto. Our humble request 
 is that you would be pleased to consider how unable we are to beare with our brethren the 
 common charges, the premises considered.

 These in the name of the rest." 
 
 This petition was presented May 14, 1645, just one month before the 
 decisive battle of Naseby, between Charles I. and Oliver Cromwell. The 
 petition was favorably received, and from the fact, which appears from 
 the records, that the assessment of Concord in 1640 of fifty pounds for the 
 "common charges," was reduced to fifteen in 1645, it is inferred that the 
 court was satisfied of the truth of the representations of the petitioners.

 WILLIAM 2 (3), b. in England, 1622; came with his 
 father to Concord, Ms., when he was eight years old. He 
 was admitted freeman May 10, 1643.* He m. Lydia Bates 
 in Concord, Ms., Oct. 7, 1645, and in 1653, settled in 
 Chelmsford, Ms. ; of which he was one of the first inhabit- 
 ants, and held the office of selectman, to which office "he 
 was chosen Nov. 22, 1654. This first publick meeting was 
 hoi den at his house." 
 
 On the court files of Middlesex county his name frequently 
 appears. In 1665, as petitioner for a road; same year, a 
 bill of costs for his servant being put in house of correction ; 
 same year, bill of costs for suit against William Shaw. In 
 1663, as appraiser of an estate. — In 1671, "Motion to court 
 by William Fletcher, of Chelmsford. His sister Cary, on 
 her death-bed, desired him and her husband to take care of 
 her children. Willing to be engaged for the child Shery- 
 biah Kebby." — In 1673, as commissioner for Chelmsford. 
 
 The birth of his dau . Lyclia only is found on the Concord 
 records, — the first birth of a Fletcher that is recorded in 
 America. 
 
 A letter dated Feb. 15, 1676, "from the committee of 
 the militia of Chelmsford," reads : " To our honord 
 governor and counsail in Boston, mercy and peace : May 
 it please yor honours." [Here represents the alarming con- 
 dition from Indian outrages and depredations, and requests 
 help.] Signed by Sam. Adams, Samuel Fletcher (4) 2 , 
 William Fletcher (3) 2 . 
 
 His tract of land embraced what is now the city of Lowell ; 
 and a part of his land, a farm near the meeting-house in 
 Chelmsford, remains as it has been for more than 200 years 
 in possession of the family, and is now occupied by Gardner 
 Fletcher. (1221) \ 
 
 * The freeman's path, required before entering upon the duties and 
 privileges of citizenship, upon the attainment of majority, in Vermont, is 
 as follows: "You solemnly swear (or affirm) that when you give your 
 vote of suffrage touching any matter that concerns the State of Vermont, 
 you will do it so as in your conscience you shall judge will most conduce 
 to the best good of the same, as established by the constitution, without 
 fear or favor of any man. So help you God." | See appendix A.] 
 
 t Mr. Gardner Fletcher relates, that the tradition in his branch is that 
 Robert had a brother William, who immigrated at the same time. The 
 only trace the writer has been able to find of a William who could have 
 been brother of Eobert, is from the records of Middletown, Ct. : "Rev. 
 Samuel Stow, m. Hope, dau. of William Fletcher, Esq., 1649."

 The foregoing gives all the information we have of three 
 generations ; and also of the fourth, except those known to 
 have had issue, the particulars concerning whom will be 
 found hereinafter, where they are placed at the heads of the 
 various branches, viz : 
 
 Joshua 4 (27), part II. Paul 4 (28), part III John 4 
 (31), part IV. Joseph 4 (32), and Jonathan 4 (34), part 
 V. ' Jonas 4 (36), Josiah 4 (52), Robert 4 (55), and Daniel 4 
 (56), part VI Samuel 4 (62), Isaac 4 (66), and William 4 
 (67), part VII Eleazer 4 (73), part VIII William 4 
 (75), part IX. Samuel 4 (76), part X. Samuel 4 (83), 
 Joseph* (84), John 4 (87), and Timothy 4 (93), part XI 
 Samuel 4 (96), Francis 4 (99), Hezekiah 4 (101), and Wil- 
 liam 4 (104), part XII 
 
 It will be observed, that of the first four generations, all, 
 of whose occupations we have any account, were farmers, 
 and many of them were large landholders. This taste for 
 agriculture seems to have continued very generally with their 
 descendants, as the following pages will exhibit. 
 
 All of these one hundred and more were born in the towns 
 of Concord and Chelmsford, as those towns then were ; or 
 in Concord, Chelmsford, Westford, Tyngsboro, Acton, and 
 Carlisle, as the boundaries of the towns now are.

 the head of it, lived there, and all his sons raised their 
 families in that town. Of his grandchildren, nearly all 
 removed ; and the branch has now no representative there.

 "May 21, 1748. Jonathan Fletcher entered his intentions 
 of marriage with Lucy Stevens both of this town. 
 
 "June 20, 1748. Gave certificate that said Fletcher and 
 Stevens have been published as the law directs." 
 
 There must have been a lovers' quarrel, for we read fur- 
 ther on : "Aug. 26, 1748. Jonathan Fletcher entered inten- 
 tions of marriage with Mary Bullard," &c. Certificate, &c, 
 Sept. 21, 1748. 
 
 Perhaps he d. a bachelor after all, for there is no account 
 of his marriage or of any children. .

 JOSEPH 5 (673), b. Westford, Ms., July 6, 1713; m. 
 Elizabeth Underwood May 21, 1735. Her father's family 
 were as follows : 
 
 Joseph Underwood b. 1681 ; d. Jan. 19, 1761 ; m, 
 Susannah Parker, who was b. 1689 ; d. Feb. 18, 
 1769 ; res. Westford. Children : Joseph, min. ; John

 Ruth m. Joshua Reed; Susannah d. young; Ama m. 
 Benjamin Spaulding ; Bethiah m. Oliver Prescott, 
 At about the time of their marriage they rem. and settled 
 in Dunstable, where he bought six hundred acres of land at 
 about twelve cents an acre, — then an almost unbroken 
 wilderness. Here he lived fifty years, subduing and culti- 
 vating the land, and was blest with a competence as the 
 result of his industry. He was a leading man in the com- 
 munity, and a pillar in the church ; a good citizen, and a 
 devoted Christian. He d. July 17, 1784. All his nine chil- 
 dren followed him to the grave, — eight of them with their 
 companions. 
 
54 FLETCHEB GENEALOGY. — PABT V. 
 
 The homes of Dea. Joseph and his sturdy sons, in close 
 proximity, are interesting relics of by-gone days. About 
 a mile and a half from the village of old Dunstable, on the 
 Hollis road, we cross Jointgrass brook and ascend the hill 
 beyond, and then leaving the old school-house on the left, we 
 see, a few rods to the west, an old-fashioned two-story dwel- 
 ling, with capacious barns. Here lived Thomas (684), the 
 eldest son of Dea. Joseph, and reared his numerous family, 
 of whom Francis, the youngest, still lives here. The house 
 where Joseph (689), the third son of Dea. Joseph, settled 
 and lived several years, stands a short distance north, and 
 fronting the south, surrounded by five tall buttonwood trees. 
 Still* farther north, about an eighth of a mile, a tall button- 
 wood and four elms stand guardians of the ancient homestead 
 where the father Joseph lived and died. His son Phineas, 
 grandson Mark, and great grandson George W., have in turn 
 owned the sacred spot, hallowed by thirty births and half as 
 many deaths. 
 
 Looking from here to the west of north, distant about an 
 eighth of a mile, stand two houses about a stone's throw 
 apart. The one with the tall buttonwoods was the residence 
 of Jonathan (685), the second son of Dea. Joseph. In the 
 other lived Jonathan's son Samuel (737). From Blanchard's 
 hill may be seen the church spires of Pepperell, Hollis, and 
 Londonderry. 
 
 The daughters m. and settled in the vicinity. It is related 
 that the family gatherings were enormous for numbers, such 
 as the present day of small families cannot produce. Such 
 thanksgivings ! 
 
 The following incidents, which are authentic, read strangely 
 to one now living on the spot. 
 
 Joseph had gone to the nearest mill, which was in West- 
 ford, about eight miles distant, and had to remain away over 
 night, his wife remaining at home alone. In the evening, 
 she heard something like the scream of a child. Stepping to 
 the door, she encountered the glaring eyes of a catamount 
 perched in a tree. She fastened the door, and then, fearing 
 the animal might gain access through the window, she 
 crawled into a barrel and contrived to get its open end 
 against the wall and there passed the night. 
 
 While Joseph was hoeing corn in the field one day, and 
 his little daughter Susannah, who had been playing around 
 him, had lain down on the greensward in the shade at the 
 
FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — PABT V. 55 
 
 side of the field and gone to sleep, he saw a large black bear 
 .crossing the field and going directly toward the sleeping 
 child. The gun was then always close at hand, and a well- 
 directed shot saved the child. 
 
 On one occasion, the flock of sheep came rushing down 
 Blanchard's hill with a bear in full pursuit. But Bruin, in- 
 stead of feasting on the mutton he was after, furnished the 
 table with his own steaks. 
 
 The mother was kind and tender-hearted toward her chil- 
 dren, and when the boys were caught in mischievous pranks, 
 she would whip them herself* and then report them to the 
 father. She knew that her very gentle castigation would be 
 an estoppel of any further punishment from the heavier hand 
 of the father. 
 
 A correspondent says : " Dea. Joseph was a remarkable 
 man, — kind, benevolent, always self-possessed; he seemed 
 like the patriarchs of old. He continued to have re-unions 
 of his family twice a year till they numbered over sixty."

 We have the following anecdote of Elijah's boyhood : 
 When about twelve years of age, he was for some reason 
 allowed, one Sunday morning, to remain at home from meet- 
 ing. A neighbor had just set out in front of his house some 
 young elm trees, and himself and family had gone to meet- 
 ing. Little Elijah dug up the elms, and transplanted them 
 to the front of his father's house, before the meeting was 
 over. The neighbor, astonished to see his trees gone over 
 to Mr. Fletcher's, would not, however, desecrate the sacred 
 day by making any inquiries ; but very early Monday morn- 
 ing, Elijah was called to account, the result of which was, 
 that Mr. Fletcher supplied other trees for those taken away, 
 and the purloined elms remained ; and at this day spread 
 their lofty branches, in vigorous old age, among the many 
 beautiful elms of the beautiful town of Westford. 
 
 He laid the foundation of the present work more than one 
 hundred years ago, and left a diagram and memoranda of 
 facts which he had collected relating to the Fletcher history, 
 and especially to the earliest settlers. Issue :

 "In 1811, Isaac Fletcher, an educated, well-read lawyer, 
 came to town. . . . After receiving his diploma, he 
 taught in the academy at Chesterfield, N. H., and there 
 formed an acquaintance with Miss Abigail Stone, his future 
 wife. He read law with Mr. Yose, of N. EL, and Judge 
 White, of Putney, Vt. Of an ardent temperament, am- 
 bitious, prompt, energetic, unremitting in his efforts for his 
 clients, he soon attained an extensive and lucrative practice. 
 In doing this, he overwrought both his bodily and mental 
 powers, participating in almost every trial in the supreme 
 and county courts of three counties, and being eight years in 
 succession state attorney of Caledonia Co. Four times he 
 was representative in the state legislature ; once speaker of 
 that body. He was twice elected representative in Congress, 
 but his health failing him, be could not distinguish himself 
 as in his profession. He was also adjutant-gen. in the gov- 
 ernor's staff."

 issue in Lyndon, Vt., Aug. 12, 1851. An 
 obituary notice in a Nashua paper says : " Col. 
 Fletcher, during his short life, occupied many 
 positions of honor among us. He was clerk 
 of the house of reps., aid to Gov. Williams, 
 and during the latter part of the Mexican war, 
 held a commission as commissary in the U. S. 
 army ; exercised for some time a command in 
 Texas, on the border. He was distinguished 
 no less for his kindness to those under his 
 orders than for his gallantry in many a sharp 
 fight on the frontier. As a lawyer, his repu- 
 tation for a young man was high."

 The following is derived from a sketch prepared by Wil- 
 liam B. Tease:, Esq., and published in the " N. E. Genealog- 
 ical Register. 1 ' 
 
 Calvin was the eleventh of fifteen children, most of whom, 
 it is remarkable, lived to receive an education and go out 
 into the world. Under the teachings of an excellent father, 
 and a mother of more than ordinary ability, he early learned 
 those habits of industry and self-reliance which, coupled with 
 upright principles, uniformly characterized his manhood-life. 
 While performing all the duties exacted from a boy on a 
 New-England farm, he very soon manifested a great desire 
 for a classical education. This desire was stimulated by the 
 concurring advice of his mother and the witnessed success of 
 his brother Elijah, who had, a few years before, completed 
 
FLETCHEB GENEALOGY. — TAUT V. 85 
 
 his college course. Depending on his own earnings for the 
 means of obtaining an education, he set about preparing 
 himself for college through the instrumentalities afforded 
 him by brief periods of instruction in the academies of Ran- 
 dolph and Royalton, in Vermont. In the course of his 
 studies pecuniary troubles interfered, his father having be- 
 come financially embarrassed. The older sons and daughters 
 had left their native State, and, at the request of Calvin, his 
 father " gave him his time," and he went from home. He 
 made an effort at Boston to ship as a sailor before the mast, 
 but did not succeed in the attempt. We next find him in 
 Pennsylvania, where he engaged himself, for a short time, 
 as a laborer in a brick-yard. To show that his literary tastes 
 were not impaired by his new and humble employment, it 
 may be mentioned that he always carried with him a small 
 edition of Pope's poems, which he read at each moment of 
 leisure. But his brick-making came shortly to an end. His 
 intelligence soon attracted the attention of a gentleman 
 named Foot, by whom he was induced to go to the State of 
 Ohio. There he first taught school at Urbana, county of 
 Champaign ; was subsequently private tutor in the family of 
 a Mr. Gwin, whose fine library gave him a capital opportu- 
 nity for reading ; and he finally studied law at Urbana with 
 Hon. James Cooley, afterwards "U. S. Charge d 'Affaires " 
 in Peru. 
 
 In 1819, he went to Richmond, Virginia, and was licensed 
 to practise by the supreme court of the Old Dominion. At 
 one time he thought of settling in Virginia, but even then 
 his strong love of freedom and the rights of man made him 
 renounce his intention, and caused him to return to Urbana, 
 where he became the law partner of Mr. Cooley. Indian- 
 apolis was set apart for the capital of Indiana, by the legis- 
 lature of that State, Jan. 6, 1821, and the same year Mr. 
 Fletcher settled there with his family. He was the first law- 
 yer in the city, and no one, certainly, was more successful. 
 Poor at the time of his location, his business, carefully 
 attended to, became lucrative. For several years he was 
 prosecuting attorney. He took in, as a partner, Ovicl But- 
 ler, Esq., and subsequently, Simon Yandes, Esq. At his 
 death, he had become wealthy, both of his partners having 
 previously retired, as had also Mr. Fletcher, from the prac- 
 tice of the law. 
 
 Says a contributor to the "Indiana Weekly Herald" of 
 
86 FLETCHER GENEALOGY.— PABT V. 
 
 June 2d, 1866, "We had the gratification of hearing Mr. 
 Fletcher argue one case, and but one, to a jury, that of J. B. 
 Otey, who was tried in the United States coupt, in 1841, for 
 robbing the mail. The case was prosecuted by district- 
 attorney Cushing, of Madison, and Hon. John Petitt, of La- 
 fayette. Associated with Mr. Fletcher in the defence, was 
 Hon. Tilghman A. Howard. Mr. Fletcher's effort was able 
 and successful. On making the city his home, Mr. Fletcher 
 actively interested himself in its prosperity ; he was a mem- 
 ber of the first fire company organized in it, — the " Old 
 Marion" ; he won the confidence and respect of the people. 
 In 1827, he was elected a State senator, in which office he 
 was continued till 1832, when he abandoned politics, though 
 a successful career was open to him in that path, had he 
 chosen to follow it. In 1836, after the lamented death of i 
 Colonel Kinnaird, he replied to those soliciting him to be- 
 come a candidate for congress, that he preferred to adhere 
 to his profession and educate his children." 
 
 Mr. Fletcher was married to Sarah Hill, by Rev. Samuel 
 Hill, May 1, 1821, in the county of Champaign, Ohio, about 
 four miles from Urbana, the county-seat. She was born in 
 the county of Fleming, Ky., to which State her parents 
 removed from Virginia nearly a century ago, or about the 
 time of the Daniel Boone immigration. 
 
 Mrs. Fletcher died in the autumn of 1854. On the 5th of 
 November, 1855, he married Mrs. Keziah Price Lister, nee 
 Backhurst, who survives him. 
 
 We have the gratification of introducing a short auto- 
 biography of Mr. Fletcher. In a letter dated March 25, 
 1861, to Mr. John Ward Dean, then the corresponding 
 secretary of the New England Hist. Gen. Society, he writes 
 thus concerning himself: "At that period [1815], I had 
 only had the advantages of two months each year at the 
 school in the district where my father lived. For two 
 years I labored for others, at wages a portion of the time, 
 and the residue I spent at the academies of Randolph and 
 Royalton in my native State. In 1817, I determined on 
 a seaman's life, and in April of the same year went to Bos- 
 ton, a total stranger, and tried my best to obtain a berth on 
 board an East-Indiaman, but failed. I then turned my face 
 towards the country west of the Alleghanies. In two months 
 I worked my way, mostly on foot, to the western part of 
 Ohio and stopped at Urbana, then the frontier settlement of 
 
FLE1CHEB GENEALOGY. — PABT V. 87 
 
 the northwestern part of that State. I knew not an indi- 
 vidual in the State — had no letter of introduction. I 
 obtained labor as a hired hand for a short time, and then a 
 school. In the fall of 1817, I obtained a situation in the 
 law office of the honorable James Cooley, a gentleman of 
 talents and fine education ; one of a large class which grad- 
 uated at Yale, under Dr. D wight. He was sent to Peru 
 under John Quincy Adams's administration, and died there. 
 In the fall of 1820, I was admitted to the bar, and became 
 the law partner of my worthy friend and patron, Mr. Cooley. 
 In the summer of 1821, the Delaware Indians left the central 
 part of Indiana, then a total wilderness, and the new State 
 selected and laid off Indianapolis as its future capital, but 
 did not make it such for four or five years thereafter. I had 
 married, and, on my request, my worthy partner permitted 
 me to leave him to take up nry residence at the place desig- 
 nated as the seat of government of Indiana. In September 
 of that year (1821), I left Urbana with a wagon, entered the 
 wilderness, and after travelling fourteen clays and camping 
 out the same number of nights, reached Indianapolis, where 
 there were a few newly-erected cabins. No counties had 
 been laid off in the newly-acquired territory, but in a few 
 years civil divisions were made. I commenced the practice 
 of law, and for about twenty-two years travelled over, twice 
 annually, nearly one-third of the northwestern part of the 
 State, at first without roads, bridges, or ferries. In 1825, I 
 was appointed states-attorney for the fifth judicial circuit, 
 embracing some twelve or fifteen counties. This office I 
 held about one year, when I was elected to the State senate ; 
 served seven years, resigned, and gave up official positions, 
 as I then supposed, for life. But in 1834, I was appointed 
 by the legislature one of four to organize a State bank, and 
 to act as sinking-fund commissioner. I held this place also 
 seven years. From 1843 till 1859, I acted as president of 
 the branch of the State bank at Indianapolis, until the charter 
 expired. During the forty years I have resided in Indiana, 
 I have devoted much of my time to agriculture, and societies 
 for its promotion, and served seven years as trustee of our 
 city schools. I have been favored with a large family, — 
 nine sons and two daughters. Three of the former have 
 taken a regular course, and graduated at Brown University, 
 Providence, R. I., and two a partial course at the same insti- 
 tution. I have written no books, but have assisted in com- 
 
88 FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — PART V. 
 
 piling a law book. I have kept a journal of daily events, 
 confined mainly to my own routine of business." 
 
 Mr. Fletcher died in Indianapolis, May 26, 1866, aged 
 sixty-eight. His death was occasioned by a fall from his 
 horse a few weeks previous. 
 
 A meeting of the bankers was held in that city on the 28th, 
 and a committee, consisting of J. C. S. Harrison, David 
 Snyder, and Mr. Mansur, was appointed, who reported 
 resolutions, which were adopted, — among them the fol- 
 lowing : 
 
 " That in the career of Mr. Fletcher are presented very 
 striking evidences of what great and good things may be 
 accomplished under our free institutions by sound sense and 
 unfailing energy, no matter how unpromising the circum- 
 stances of their possessor may be at his outset in life. 
 
 " That his success in business is the history of a life of 
 hopeful labor, pure integrity, genial benevolence, steady 
 caution, and active usefulness ; in which great results have 
 been attained, not by brilliant strokes of adventure, or any 
 dependence upon fortune, but by those plainer and less 
 obtrusive methods, which are within the reach of the great 
 majority of men, and affords a lesson of hope and warning, 
 — hope to the upright, diligent, and frugal; warning to the 
 reckless and idle who wait upon fortune." 
 
 Mr. Fletcher was a strong man, physically, morally, and 
 intellectually. In the early stages of his pioneer life he had 
 to withstand to the face, and at' times with bodily force resist, 
 those who attempted to deprive him of his rights. There 
 were no courts there, at first, in the infant settlement, to take 
 cognizance of breaches of the. peace and of ill behavior; but 
 each man had to be, as it were, "a law unto himself," — his 
 own judge and executor. He was equal to the emergency, 
 and when the trial of strength came could do justice to him- 
 self. In the same spirit he stood ready also to befriend 
 those who might otherwise have been injured. 
 
 He was a great lover of nature. He took much interest in 
 the study of ornithology, and made himself familiar with the 
 habits of birds, their instincts and characteristics. The 
 domestic animals found in him a sympathizing friend. He 
 was kind to them, — ever ready to learn in regard to their 
 particular dispositions and qualities, using such knowledge, 
 when obtained, to their advantage. 
 
 He was fond of the science of astronomy, and in fact of 
 
FLETCHEB GENEALOGY. — PABT V. 89 
 
 almost everything that was elevating and ennobling* In his 
 well-selected library of general literature, in addition to law 
 books, might be seen, in close proximity, local histories, 
 periodicals, the works of Audubon, school journals, and 
 miscellaneous works. He availed himself of the opportuni- 
 ties afforded him, as one of the pioneers, and a continued 
 resident of Indianapolis, to collect and preserve local news- 
 papers, books, and magazines. At his death these accumu- 
 lated volumes of western literature were deposited in one of 
 the institutions of the city. 
 
 He was a man of method. Usually he would rise at four 
 o'clock in the morning, and attend to his correspondence till 
 breakfast ; then be off to give directions in regard to his farm 
 of sixteen hundred acres, situated about two miles from his 
 residence. On his return he would engage in his duties at 
 the bank, or other employments, always on the move) ever 
 active, ever accomplishing important results. 
 
 From a communication in the " Indiana Weekly State Ga- 
 zette" of Juno 0, 1866, the following is taken : 
 
 "The multitudes, in this community and in the West, who 
 have for many years felt it to be their highest honor to be 
 known as the friends of Calvin Fletcher, will only need to 
 be assured by his early associates that the bright and mature 
 development of his character is only what might have been 
 expected in the ripened shock in the ear, from its promise 
 in the grain-seed. 
 
 " When a young lawyer, and with his gentle wife from 
 Ohio, in the first week of October of 1821, he unloaded his 
 wagon of household ings and books at a cabin he had pur- 
 chased, standing in the centre of the future Washington 
 street, near the State-house, in this city, how little was anti- 
 cipated by the passing settlers the influence the new-comer 
 would exert on the future of our prospective city and the 
 region surrounding ! 
 
 " In one leading trait, his course was marked and earnest. 
 No poor man ever applied to Calvin Fletcher, in his need, 
 either for counsel or assistance, and was sent empty away ; 
 and when the friends of the colored man, fleeing from bond- 
 age, were few and unpopular in this community, his sym- 
 pathy and assistance was never withheld." 
 
 The Eev. Edmund Squire, of Dorchester, Mass., in a let- 
 ter to Mr. Trask, says : 
 
 "He was a man of courage. When to be a friend of the 
 
 12 
 
90 FLETCHEB GENEALOGY. — PART V. 
 
 slave was not only unfashionable but dangerous, he, at the 
 risk of his life, forced his way into a so-called court of jus- 
 tice, where a mob thirsted for a slave's blood, and fastening 
 his eye on the judge, by a few strong words of truth, changed 
 the coming doom, and gave the man his life. 
 
 "Lastly, he was like all men of power in his age, exceed- 
 ingly rapid in thought and action ; before others had begun 
 the argument he had concluded it, and was off. I think I 
 never saw him sit entirely still ; repose was not his domi- 
 nant characteristic ; he was like a bird on the bough. Cal- 
 vin Fletcher was not a perfect, but he was a very remarkable 
 man, one of the fathers of his city and of the West. Such 
 another man I have never seen, and never expect to see 
 again." 
 
 The following is from the funeral discourse delivered by 
 his pastor, Rev. A. S. Kinman : 
 
 "Early in the history of his life, he washed his hands from 
 the guilt of that sum of national villainies, American slavery. 
 He was an abolitionist when it cost something to be one. 
 He once said to one of his sons, ? When I am in the court 
 house engaged in an important suit, if the governor of the 
 State should send in word that he wished^to speak with me, 
 I would reply that I could not go ; but if a Quaker should 
 touch me on the shoulder and say, ? A colored man is out 
 here in distress and fear,' I would leave the court-house in a 
 minute to see the man ; for I feel that I would have to ac- 
 count at that last day when He shall ask me if ' I have visited 
 the sick and in prison or bondage, and fed the poor.' The 
 great of this world can take care of themselves, but God has 
 made us stewards for the downtrodden, and we must account 
 to him." 
 
 These old anti-slavery men are now being gathered to their 
 fathers, but the nation owes them a debt of gratitude never 
 yet paid. Thank God, that Mr. Fletcher lived to see the 
 bond go free. Like Simeon of old, he and his co-laborers 
 are now permitted to say for themselves, "Let thy servants 
 depart in peace, for our eyes have beheld thy salvation." 
 But I point you to him as a Christian. If the sentiment, 
 "By their fruits ye shall know them," be the criterion of 
 Christian character, then I would point you to every Pro- 
 testant church of this city, and nearly all of this country ; I 
 would point you to the school-houses and seminaries ; I would 
 point you to our houses of charity and asylums ; I would 
 
FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — PART V. 91 
 
 point you to hundreds of ministers' wives and hungry chil- 
 dren ; I would point you to all the benevolent societies for 
 the poor, and the maimed and oppressed ; sixteen persons 
 that he educated during his life out of his own funds, and 
 say, Calvin Fletcher has stock in them all ; and thus " he 
 being dead yet speaketh." No man could love and respect 
 the Bible and the minister more than he. He was a constant 
 student of the one, and hearer of the other. Among the 
 very last things he said, was to speak of his love and respect 
 for his pastor, and the last rational recognition was to recog- 
 nize the Bible under the most touching circumstances. The 
 eldest and youngest son had arisen to take their turn in 
 watching with him. He had been unconscious for many 
 hours, flis oldest son had brought in the large family Bible 
 for personal use, and while sitting by his side he opened his 
 eyes, and recognizing the Book of God, he nodded his head 
 and smiled in the most grateful and pleasing manner. 
 
 Permit me to quote from his private journal some facts 
 relating to his inner life of religion. 
 
 "January 1, 1829. — For two or three months past, I have 
 felt strongly impressed with the great importance of religion, 
 and the vanity and uncertainty of the things of this world. 
 And further, feeling I am approaching what is certainly the 
 meridian of life (thirty-five), I have been led to inquire into 
 the truth of the Scriptures in relation to that intelligent, im- 
 mortal part called the soul, in order to satisfy myself on this 
 subject,* on which at first I had some doubts. Yes, I even 
 found myself to be almost an infidel. I applied to a number 
 of my friends who had professed religion (I feel thankful 
 that I had such friends, for they have been a consolation and 
 light which I little expected), and found, on inquiry, they 
 were enjoying treasures of which I was entirely ignorant. I 
 attended several class-meetings of the Methodists, in which 
 I found further evidence of the good things which religious 
 and pious people enjoy. On Tuesday night before New 
 Year, I resolved to go forward at the watch-night meeting of 
 the Methodists. It would take volumes to tell the doubts I 
 had in coming to a conclusion on this great undertaking. I 
 had for a long time clung to the world, and my affections 
 were strongly rooted there. I was a representative of a dis- 
 trict in the senate, a lawyer, the legislature was in session, 
 &c, &c, which all tended to frighten me. However, I 
 tremblingly advanced this morning and gave my hand, and 
 
92 FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — PART V. 
 
 there, openly to the world, and more strongly confessed on 
 my part, the covenant I had made to serve God, as earnestly 
 as in me lay. Eev. Mr. Wiley and Edwin Ray, a local 
 preacher of Madison, Ind., preached two sermons, beginning 
 at nine o'clock of the old } T ear, and preached till twelve, 
 when Mr. Armstrong, our local preacher, gave an exhorta- 
 tion and opened the door to receive members, and I went 
 forward. Sensible am I now that I was too unworthy to 
 make such a profession. I returnd home, and went to bed 
 at two A. M., and rose about one half hour before sunrise. 
 I determined to set my house in better order than before. 
 Brother James Hill, also a member of the Methodist church, 
 performed a duty which I had always neglected — to have 
 family prayer in my house. In the evening I went to see 
 my friend James M. Ray. He was just going to the Pres- 
 byterian meeting-house, to attend a Sunday school. None 
 of the members came. He went in. All was dark. He 
 very affectionately expressed his joy that I had on the new 
 year commenced the service of the Lord. We reviewed our 
 whole life, and covenanted with each other to watch, pray 
 for, and admonish each other ; to suppress all heart-burnings 
 in and against the respective churches to which we belonged. 
 As a friend well tried, I have found none better than Mr. 
 Ray, and Mr. James Blake, our absent friend, who both have 
 within the past year become members of the Presbyterian 
 church, the latter of whom, in his conversation after I had 
 revealed my first convictions to him, gave me good counsel 
 and consolation and strength in the steps I was desirous to 
 take. While at the meeting-house my friend Ray, at my 
 request, made a most pathetic and feeling prayer, which, to 
 me, was as the refreshing dews to the parched earth. We 
 parted, pledging to each other to be friends, not only in the 
 world, but in the cause of Christ. 
 
 " January 3. — This evening I have made some very slight 
 examination of myself, in relation to my fitness to go for- 
 ward on to-morrow and partake in the solemn ordinances of 
 the Lord's Supper. In this, I feel greatly and awfully defi- 
 cient and doubtful. 
 
 "Sunday, January 4, 1829. — On this day, for the first 
 time, I went forward and partook of the Lord's Supper. I 
 had many doubts and many difficulties in coming to a con- 
 clusion as to my fitness in so important a step. I felt truly 
 unworthy, yet from prayer, I satisfied myself that it was my 
 
 
FLETCHEB GENEALOGY. — PART V. 93 
 
 duty to advance ; that I was unworthy to be called his fol- 
 lower, until I could fully confess Jesus Christ before men." 
 
 "February 4, 1865. — My birthday. I am sixty-seven 
 years old. I have not been indifferent and without concern 
 in relation to the better life beyond this present state. This 
 has been a subject before me night and day. I feel that I 
 am fast approaching the end of this world's labors. I have 
 no labor so great and so important as that of a sure prepara- 
 tion to the entrance on another state of existence. My desire 
 is to be more studious, more devoted and prayerful. I ask 
 God daily, and continually, to give me his grace and pardon ; 
 to send his holy spirit to enlighten and instruct me in this 
 vital preparation for a better life. I enter on another year, 
 feeling its importance more sensibly than ever before. I 
 have comfortable seasons mingled with times of depression 
 and sense of great unworthiness. 
 
 "Sunday, February 4th, 1866. — Sixty-eight years old. 
 Born on Sunday — a happy day to me. What makes this 
 day more dear to me is that I was born on it. May God 
 sanctify this holy day — the Sabbath — to my use and salva- 
 tion. It has always been a dear and blessed clay to me. 
 May God strengthen and go with me as he permits me to 
 walk into a new year of my life, perhaps the last. May I 
 live in readiness to meet his last call on earth Avith lamp 
 trimmed and ready to enter into the morning feast. He has 
 been present thus far to sustain me, and, like a kind father, 
 forgiving and merciful. May I have the spirit with me to 
 teach and instruct me, that old age will not be marked with 
 mental imbecility, impatience, and want of faith, but may I 
 be constantly in the spirit, in love and in union with Christ." 
 This was the last entry in his journal, the closing para- 
 graph of a great and good man's life.

 MILES J. 8 (917), b. June 15, 1828, in Indianapolis, Ind. 
 His youth was spent in an alternation of student and farm 
 labor, which developed both mind and body. Grad. Brown 
 Univ. 1852. While a student he was hopefully converted, 
 and joined the Meth. Epis. Church. After graduating he 
 became professor in the Indiana University at Greencastle, 
 Ind. 
 
 In the fall of 1860, he was elected superintendent of pub- 
 lic instruction for the State of Indiana, which position he 
 held at his death. In this capacity his labors were incredi- 
 ble. When the firing upon Sumter aroused the nation, he 
 assisted, by request of the governor, in drilling raw recruits 
 for the three months' service at Camp Morton. His brother, 
 Dr. William B., having been captured by the rebels in July, 
 1861, he made a visit, in Aug. 1861, to West Virginia, and 
 another in the winter to Washington, for the purpose of 
 ascertaining the place of his confinement and effecting his 
 release, both of which objects he accomplished. 
 
 He was killed on the Evansville railway, May 10, 1862, 
 while on an expedition for the relief of the sick and wounded 
 of our army near Corinth. His funeral at Indianapolis is 
 said to have been the largest that ever took place in the 
 State. Children :

 E. W. Willard, nee Houghton, in Winchester, Ms. Carpen-

 In the war of the Rebellion, he volunteered Aug. 2, 1862, 
 for three years, or during the war. He was attached to the 
 Andrews Sharp-shooters, which company he joined Sept. 
 13, 1856, at Frederic City. The next day, Sept. 14, he 
 went into the battle at Antietam, and at about eleven A. M. 
 a ball passed through his right lung ; and then, while lying 
 upon the field, he was struck on the arm by a fragment of a 
 shell. In this condition he was taken prisoner. His wounds, 
 though considered fatal, were dressed by a surgeon ; but in 
 about forty-eight hours, being unable to march, he was 
 abandoned with other wounded men of both armies, and the 
 ground on which they lay was regained by the Union troops. 
 After remaining on the battle-ground eight days, during 
 which time he received some care, he was rem. to Frederic 
 City, and thence to Philadelphia. Then at the regular hos- 
 pital at Germantown, he received the best of care and treat- 
 ment, so that October 30, he was discharged and returned 
 home.

 SIMEON 5 (1436), b. May 2, 1722; rem. from Chelms- 
 ford and settled in Amherst, N. H., where he m. Mary Davis, 
 and where their first five children were b. Thence he rem. 
 to Greenfield, N. H. The deeds are still extant in which 
 he conveys considerable tracts of land in Chelmsford. The 
 deed closes in the form of that day, " I set my hand and seal 
 this tenth day of Dec, 1744, in the 18th year of the reign 
 of our sovereign Lord, George the 2d by the Grace of God, 
 of Great Britain, France, Ireland, King, Defender of the 
 Faith." It would seem that soon after selling his land in 
 Chelmsford he removed to Amherst. There is also a deed 
 to him of a tract of land in New Hampshire Province. This 
 was in Greenfield, N. H., and this farm,' or at least a part of 
 it, is now cultivated by his great-grandson. The old home- 
 stead has now its 5th generation. Issue :

 HENKY 6 (1651),* b. inWestford, Ms., Aug. 17, 1751 ; he 
 was m. Nov. 30, 1773, to Deborah, dau. of Aaron and Dorothy 
 (Fletcher) Parker, of the same town. Immediately after 
 his marriage, he settled in New Ipswich, N. H. In the his- 
 tory of that town, his name appears on the list of tax-payers 
 for 1774, with a tax of 9s. 3d.; whole town-tax, 106?. 16s. 
 On the map accompanying that history, his name appears as 
 original proprietor of town lots Nos. 138 and 152, both on 
 the north side of Barrett's Mountain. 
 
 In 1777, he joined a company of volunteers, which in- 
 cluded Nathaniel Pratt, father of the wife of Reuben (1677), 
 and marched to "Old Ti," as it was generally expressed, to 
 intercept Gen. Burgoyne. Neither of them was in any bat- 
 tle or skirmish, though at one time, just previous to the sur- 
 render, they were stationed where, from the movements of 
 the troops, they "expected every moment to see the bullets 
 fly." On their way to the seat of war, they passed through 
 Windsor County, Vermont, then a wilderness, in which they 
 subsequently settled, and where they both died. 
 
 Henry's first three children were born in New Ipswich. 
 In 1778, he rem. to Carlisle [then Acton], where two more 
 of his children were b., both of whom d. young. Then he 
 rem. to a farm known as "Blood's place," in Westford, 
 where Eeuben was born. Soon afterwards he went on to his 
 father's homestead on Stony Brook. After living in his 
 father's house about seven years, and an absence from New 
 Ipswich of some twelve, he returned to that town in 1790. 
 During the twelve years of his residence in Massachusetts, 
 the law of the State by which Congregational worship was 
 supported, in some cases at least, by a tax on the person and 
 property of all the inhabitants, was warmly discussed, and 
 most violently opposed, especially by the Baptist denomina- 
 tion, to which he belonged. Conscientiously refusing to pay 
 one of these "minister taxes," he was committed to Concord 
 jail, though it is believed he remained only one night, when 
 the tax was paid by friends. 
 
 On his return to New Ipswich, in 1790, there remained of 
 his old home land enough, to be sure, but only land. The 
 house had been sold and removed, and the farm had been 
 "improved" only as pasturage. 
 
 * The account of Henry and his descendants was prepared by Stil- 
 man (1723), who has otherwise assisted in the preparation and publication 
 of this work. 
 
144 FLETCHEB GENEALOGY. — FABT VII. 
 
 To appreciate the difficulties and hardships of the next ten 
 years of his life, it is not enough to remember that there was 
 neither house nor barn, fences nor fields on his land, and 
 that he had a large family to support ; but we must recall 
 the condition of our country at that time. The army of the 
 Ee volution had been disbanded about seven years. It was 
 only three years after " Shay's Insurrection." That very 
 year (1790) Rhode Island gave her reluctant assent to our 
 present Constitution. Confidence in government, confidence 
 in each other, even, was wanting. Business was dead. No 
 commerce, no manufacturing, no enterprise of any kind. 
 British goods, admitted without a protective tariff, had 
 drained off what specie the Revolution left. Continental 
 money was worthless. Taxes were high, wages low, and 
 employment difficult to be found at any price. Iron and salt 
 could hardly be had. Clothing was all home-made ; herbs 
 were used for tea ; molasses was made of maple, boiled cider, 
 and cornstalks ; sections of large hard-wood logs, sawed off 
 some foot thick, with holes made in the centre, were used 
 for cart-wheels. The population of Boston was only 18,038. 
 Lowell was a pine plain, and factory corporations unknown. 
 
 During the twelve years (1778-90) that he carried on his 
 father's farm in Westford, there was no market nearer than 
 Boston, over twenty miles distant ; and produce was often 
 carried to Salem, and even to Marblehead, with a team of 
 two oxen and one horse ; but in going to either place, it was 
 not customary to " put up " at a tavern while from home. 
 When he carried corn, the time of arrival at the mill at 
 Charlestown, where it was ground, was regulated by the 
 night tide, at the ebb of which the sleepy miller was hurried 
 up to grind the grist that it might be peddled out early in 
 the morning. So great have been the changes in the wealth 
 of the country and in the habits of the people, within the last 
 century, that the present generation can scarcely form an 
 idea of the poverty of the whole country at that time, or of 
 the difficulty that people generally found in obtaining money 
 to pay taxes or debts. It is not strange, therefore, notwith- 
 standing all his hard labor and rigid economy, that he 
 incurred debts in erecting buildings, etc., on his land in New 
 Ipswich, which finally obliged him to sell out at a low price. 
 
 In the year 1800, he removed to Plymouth, Windsor Co., 
 Vermont. Here he built a saw and grist mill on a lot of 
 wild land, and in a section where, at that time, "the deer 
 
FLETGEEB GENEALOGY. — PART VII. 145 
 
 played and the wolves howled." After building the saw- 
 mill, he commenced the clearing-up of the farm on which he 
 passed the last years of his life, striking the first blow on 
 his fiftieth birthday. "My neighbors," he used to remark, 
 " called me an old fool for planting an orchard on land cleared 
 by my own hands after I was fifty years of age." He lived, 
 however, to see that orchard in its prime, and to enjoy its 
 fruit for many years. Here he erected good buildings, and 
 found himself in his old ag- in possession of a productive 
 farm and the means of a comfortable support. Wife d. May

 WILLIAM 7 (1673), b. in New Ipswich, N. H., Mar. 31, 
 1776. Settled in Plymouth, Vt., about 1798. In company 
 with his brother Aaron, he purchased a tract of land in the 
 northeast corner of that township, at one dollar and seventeen 
 cents per acre. They commenced chopping down the trees 
 in 1799. After felling about eight acres, they found them- 
 selves out of provisions and out of money. They went to 
 Rutland and worked two months in the best of the season at 
 twelve dollars per month, payable in provisions, — a consid- 
 erable part of which, however, was lost by the failure of 
 their employer, one Williams. This partnership was dis- 
 solved after a continuance of some three years. William m. 
 Sally, dau. of Thomas Davis, of Reading, Vt., June 18, 
 1801. Being among the first settlers of the neighborhood, 
 he shared their hardships and privations. He had to "back" 
 hay from the south part of the town, some five miles, and 
 over a very hilly road, to fodder the oxen that harrowed in 
 his first field of grain. Here he cleared up a farm, erected 
 good buildings, — his being the first, and for many years the 
 only, two-story house in the neighborhood, — and here he 
 brought up a large family. This section is mountainous, and 
 the population so sparse that it has ever been difficult to 
 maintain public religious services ; but he always did what he 
 could for the support of such services, and for the proper 
 
FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — PART VII. 147 
 
 observance of the Sabbath. As early as 1818 or 1819, he, 
 with others, established a Sunday school, which met in the 
 school-house of the district. His oldest son having pur- 
 chased the homestead, he went, in 1837, to Canaan, Vt., 
 where his last years were passed with his sons William and 
 Franklin, who owned a good farm in that town. Here he 
 was appointed justice of the peace, and after a residence of 
 about ten years, d. Nov. 22, 1847. His wife d. Oct. 1850,

 AARON 7 (1674), b. in New Ipswich, N. H., Nov. 18, 
 1777. Commenced an apprenticeship at blacksmithing in 
 Boylston, Ms., at the age of sixteen, where he worked two 
 winter seasons ; when, at the age of eighteen, he went with 
 his employer to Nelson, N. H., then mostly a wilderness, and 
 where wolves disturbed them at night-time. 
 
 In the summer of 1799 he commenced work on land owned 
 by himself and his brother William, in Plymouth, Vt., and 
 on which he labored more or less till 1802, when he bar- 
 gained for a blacksmith shop in Chelmsford, Mass., which, 
 however, he did not occupy immediately. In 1805 he was 
 settled in business in Chelmsford, and was married to Miss 
 Sarah Neef, of Carlisle, in 1806. Two children were born 
 to them in Chelmsford, one of whom was run over by a 
 loaded team, and instantly killed. After living five years in 
 Chelmsford, he removed to Carlisle village, April, 1811. In 
 1838, he sold his house and shop in the village, and removed 
 some two miles to the farm on which his father lived from 
 1778 to 1782. Here he died Feb. 9th, 1867. Issue :

 The following was written by Judge Abner Hazeltine : 
 
 " Mr. Adolphus Fletcher came to Jamestown when it was 
 a small village, a mere hamlet, situated in an obscure corner, 
 remote from any thoroughfare, and scarcely known abroad, 
 except to a few on the waters below us who were engaged in 
 the lumber trade. Mr. Fletcher and his paper were among 
 the instrumentalities for bringing this secluded section into 
 notice, and if the remarks called forth by the first number of 
 the f Jamestown Journal,' from the editor of other papers 
 to whom it was sent with the usual request, 'Please Ex- 
 change,' could now be collected, they would be a source of 
 much amusement. The undertaking was evidently regarded 
 as Quixotic by those who had heard of Jamestown, if not a 
 hoax. But the work then commenced has completed more 
 than fifty yearly volumes. 
 
 " The boyhood of Mr. Fletcher was passed on his father's 
 farm, with occasional attendance on the schools which were 
 then well sustained in the Old Bay State . His apprenticship 
 was passed in the office of the 'Massachusetts Spy,' which 
 was established at Worcester, by Mr. Thomas, prior to the 
 American revolution. Soon after becoming of age, he mar- 
 ried, May 13, 1818, Miss Sarah Stow, a native of Worcester, 
 and who had been his neighbor and associate from childhood. 
 
 "Prior to his marriage, an elder brother and sister had 
 settled in Chatauque county, N. Y. , and had purchased from 
 the first occupant, Reuben Slayton, Esq., the site of the 
 present village of Ashville. His father's family having 
 concluded about that time to follow their elder children to 
 their new home, he was induced to accompany them. A 
 
FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — PART VIII. .161 
 
 friend who accompanied him informs the writer, that the two 
 families started from Worcester with a span of horses and 
 two pairs of oxen, and were three weeks on the way, arriv- 
 ing at what was then known as Goose Creek, or Slayton's 
 Mills, in June, 1818. 
 
 "During his residence at Ashville, he was to some extent 
 engaged in farming. He also had a small store in connec- 
 tion with the late Dr. Deming, of Westfield, and kept a 
 tavern. He was thus employed, when, at the solicitation of 
 friends at Jamestown, who knew something of his early pur- 
 suits, he resolved to resume his original occupation. He 
 removed to Jamestown in the summer of 1824, and with a 
 small stock of type, purchased mostly on credit, and a press 
 constructed on the spot, under his own supervision, he soon 
 commenced the f Jamestown Journal,' doing a large share 
 of the work with his own hands. For several years, no man 
 in Jamestown worked harder or more hours than he. 
 
 " One great object in getting up the paper was to promote 
 the interests of southern Chautauqua, which it was supposed 
 had suffered for want of an organ, and this, instead of party 
 politics, was intended to be its leading characteristic. Mr. 
 Fletcher, although a man of decided opinions, adhered to 
 this platform strictly, taking no part in the controversies 
 between the Clintonians and Bucktails, as the leadiug politi- 
 cal parties in the State were then denominated. But this 
 position did not long suit the times. The abduction of 
 Morgan, and the presidential contest between Jackson and 
 Adams, were elements of party strife too strong to admit 
 of neutrality ; and a paper for the avowed object of aiding 
 the election of Gen. Jackson was started in opposition to the 
 'Journal.' This division of support not only lessened his 
 income, but imposed new labors and responsibilities on Mr. 
 Fletcher. His paper, as a matter of course, came out on the 
 other side, and from that time became decidedly political. 
 It soou acquired a patronage superior to that it had lost, and 
 became a remunerative establishment. After remaining at 
 its head about twenty years, he sold out to his son, from 
 w T hom it soon passed into other hands. 
 
 "After the death of his first wife, Jan. 6, 1836, and just 
 thirty years before his death, he married Miss Caroline E. 
 Brooks, of Westminster, Ms. Early in life he became a 
 member of the Cong, church, of which he was a consistent 
 
 21

 good citizen, and an upright and exemplary man." Issue :

 The following sketch, written by his son Richard (1912), 
 is taken from Benedict's History of the Baptists : 
 
 " He was baptized, and united with the Baptist church in 
 Leicester, Mass., 15th of May, 1768, being then almost 
 twenty-two years of age. From that day to the day of his 
 death, he continued an active and devoted Christian, being 
 a period of more than seventy years. At about the age of 
 twenty-two, he established himself as a physician in his 
 native town of Westford, and pursued this profession with 
 signal usefulness and success till the infirmities of great age 
 made it necessary for him to retire from active life* 
 
 Beside many other public offices which he held while he 
 remained in Massachusetts, he was a member of the conven- 
 tion which formed the constitution of that Commonwealth, 
 in 1780. In that convention he struggled hard to ingraft 
 into the constitution the principle, that no man should be 
 compelled by law to pay taxes for the support of preaching, 
 but that all such contributions should be voluntary, and 
 according to the dictates of conscience. He afterwards suc- 
 cessfully advocated, through the press, and maintained this 
 principle of religious liberty, in the State of Vermont. 
 Though he failed to effect the object for which he contended 
 in the convention, yet he lived to see the principle which he 
 maintained carried out in the constitution and laws of Mas- 
 sachusetts. On the 3d day of October, 1776, he was 
 married to Sally Green, daughter of Jonathan Green, of 
 Chelsea, Mass. In Feb. 1787, he removed to Cavendish, 
 Vt., where he continued to reside till his death. At the 
 time of his removal to Vermont, that State was not a mem- 
 ber of the Union, and he was a member of the convention 
 which applied to congress for admission. He was shortly 
 after a member of a convention to revise the constitution of 
 that State. He was frequently a member of the legislature, 
 
168 FLETCHEB GENEALOGY. — PART IX. 
 
 for some years one of the judges of the county court, for 
 several years a member of the council, and was one of the 
 electors of president and vice-president when Mr. Monroe 
 was first elected. He was for a time president of the med- 
 ical society of his county, and delivered lectures before that 
 body. He held many other offices, not important to men- 
 tion, but which manifested the respect in which he was held, 
 and the confidence reposed in him. He died peacefully, 
 surrounded by a numerous company of affectionate and 
 devoted children and grandchildren, on the 5th of January, 
 1839, aged 92 years. His wife, with whom he had lived 
 most happily for sixty years, and who still lives in the grate- 
 ful and affectionate remembrance of her children and grand- 
 children, had deceased a few years before his own death. 
 
 He was at all times, in public and in private life, an 
 humble and devoted Christian. His advantages for an edu- 
 cation in early life were very small, and he was almost wholly 
 a self-taught man. Still he made himself quite a respectable 
 English scholar, and acquired, without the aid of any teacher, 
 a considerable knowledge of the Latin and Greek languages. 
 He was thoughtful and serious, and possessed habits of 
 patient and persevering investigation. He had a sound and 
 well-balanced mind, and uncommon calmness and equanimity 
 of temper. He cherished an unwavering faith in an over- 
 ruling Providence, which sustained him in the midst of trials, 
 and in the darkest hour. He was retiring and unobtrusive, 
 without vanity or love of display. His great and constant 
 purpose was to fill up life with duty. He lived long and 
 lived well."

 RICHARD 6 (1912)* was b. in Cavendish, Yt., Jan. 8, 
 1778, and his boyhood was passed in his native town, to 
 which he always evinced great attachment, although he never 
 resided there again after entering Dartmouth College, at the 
 age of fourteen. He was graduated in 1806, receiving the 
 highest honors. He then went to Salisbury, ~N. H., and took 
 charge of an academy school, commencing at the same time 
 the reading of law with Daniel Webster, who then lived 
 there, and who m. 1808, Grace Fletcher (764). It is related 
 that at the end of his professional studies, the young lawyer 
 found himself in debt to Mr. Webster for tuition, and gave 
 his promissory note to the amount of five hundred dollars, 
 
 * The author has solicited, without success, a suitable sketch of one of

 hours' time, to make the record for these pages. 
 
FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — PART IX. 173 
 
 understanding that sufficient time should be allowed for earn- 
 ing it in his practice. Mr. Webster, however, under some 
 financial pressure, sold the note, and its payment was shortly 
 demanded. Mr. Fletcher thereupon mounted on horseback, 
 rode to Cavendish, Vt., where his father and other friends 
 raised the requisite amount, and then with the hard cash in 
 saddle-bags, he rode back to his creditor. Continuing in 
 Salisbury, he acquired a good practice, and in 1819 rem. to 
 Boston, with the capital of an excellent professional reputa- 
 tion and a few thousand dollars in money. Here he shortly 
 took rank with the very first of legal advocates. We quote 
 from a notice that appeared soon after his death, which is, 
 no doubt, just: "While in practice before the courts, his 
 presence ever commanded the utmost respect. Of good 
 form, of handsome and expressive features, and of most gen- 
 tlemanly and pleasing address, coupled with his great learn- 
 ing and untiring industry, it is not strange that he should 
 have succeeded at the bar and on the bench." Another 
 notice of him says : " He was an orator of great power, — 
 fluent and elegant in diction, bright and sparkling in thought, 
 keen and quick in repartee." His care not to be engaged in 
 unworthy causes was noted. A lady called one day at his 
 office, when the writer was present, and made a long state- 
 ment of a lawsuit in which she desired to engage his services, 
 and for which she said she was prepared to pay well. After 
 hearing her patiently, "Madam," said he, "you would lose 
 that suit, and had ought to lose it ; I cannot undertake it." 
 
 In political life, he found little that suited his tastes. He 
 was a member of the Mass. legislature, and, in 1837, was 
 elected representative in Congress. He again received the 
 nomination of the Whig party, which was, at that time, in 
 that district, equivalent to a re-election. This he declined, 
 as he preferred to devote himself to his profession, and 
 especially because life in Congress was so uncongenial to 
 him. In 1848, he was appointed judge of the supreme 
 court of Mass., and retired from the bench in 1853. The 
 degree of LL.D. was conferred by both Harvard and Dart- 
 mouth. 
 
 He made a public profession of religion, and united with 
 the Federal Street Baptist Church, under the pastoral care 
 of Rev. Howard Malcom. He became superintendent of 
 the Sunday school, and at one time was chosen deacon. 
 Concerning this last it was related : 
 
174 FLETCHEB GENEALOGY. — PART IX. 
 
 " On being informed of the selection, Mr. Fletcher ap- 
 peared before the society, and, in one of his happiest moods, 
 addressed them. He thanked them for the kindness and 
 confidence they had shown him, and then proceeded to give 
 them a description of the character and qualifications which 
 in his judgment were requisite for the office. Speaking thus 
 at length upon the subject of religion and the importance of 
 personal piety and sincere devotion to God and the cause of 
 the Eedeemer, and having wrought up the attention of his 
 hearers to a great interest, he closed by assuring them that 
 he did not possess, nor claim to possess, then and there, 
 that degree of holiness which the candidate should bring to 
 the office. The calls of business, the cares of his profes- 
 sion, and the worldliness of his life that had too much 
 engrossed his attention, rendered it improper for him, how- 
 ever much he appreciated the honor, to accept the offer ; and 
 besides, said the speaker, lowering the tones of his voice, 
 and throwing into his handsome face all the interest and 
 emotion which memory and the occasion called up, "I am 
 not worthy ; there is one insurmountable barrier standing 
 between me and the position named. Among all the quali- 
 fications which I have alluded to, that this officer of the 
 church should possess, there is one which I have not named, 
 the injunction of Holy Writ, through the apostle, is that the 
 deacon * should be the husband of one wife.' I have none. 
 I cannot accept the office." 
 
 His religion was not so much of the aggressive kind, nor 
 did he often urge his views upon others ; but it pervaded his 
 entire character, and shone out in all his actions. Its rich 
 fruits were his kind and loving disposition, with almost the 
 tenderness of a child ; the firmness for the right, which no 
 force could bend and no money could bribe ; the ever-flowing 
 fountain of benevolence that bestowed his wealth to the help 
 of many. He was devotional ; private and public worship 
 he delighted in. When taken from his active duties, and 
 confined to his bed by sickness, he had read to him, not the 
 newspapers and books of the day, but Doddridge and Bax- 
 ter. A scrap from his diary is illustrative : 
 
 "Jan. 15, 1857. — Received through the post-office to-day 
 a very remarkable letter, in which the writer says that more 
 than forty years ago he abstracted twenty-five cents from my 
 pocket. He encloses me a dollar and twenty -four cents for 
 the money so taken, the interest evidently having been com- 
 
FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — PART IX. 175 
 
 puted at compound interest to make this sum. Speaking of 
 the act, the writer says : ? It has harrowed up my soul. O, 
 had I thought that God looked on the heart ! ' He expresses 
 great compunction, and begs me to forgive him and pray for 
 him, that he may be forgiven of God. ... I sincerely 
 and heartily forgive the person, whoever he may be, and I 
 humbly and earnestly pray God to forgive him for Christ's 
 sake, as he seems to be heartily contrite and penitent. How 
 many sins I have committed in my life for which I need the 
 forgiveness of my fellow men and of my Heavenly Father ! 
 ? Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass 
 against us.' What a proof is here of the power of con- 
 science ! Without the pardoning mercy of God through 
 Jesus Christ, what may be the tortures of a guilty conscience 
 in the world to come ! " 
 
 He never married. His attachment to his relatives was 
 remarkable. Tens of thousands of dollars he bestowed upon 
 them while he lived. His nephews and nieces he seemed to 
 love as if they were his children. His benefactions were 
 widely spread. The worthy young man who needed a lift to 
 get through college, found in him a friend, and charitable 
 societies reckoned surely upon his aid. His will, after pro- 
 viding for his relatives, gives to Dartmouth College the resi- 
 due. A passage in that will is of interest : 
 
 "In view of the numerous and powerful influences, con- 
 stantly active in drawing professed Christians into fatal con- 
 formity to the world, both in spirit and practice; in view, 
 also, of the lamentable and amazing fact, that Christianity 
 exerts so little practical influence, even in countries nomi- 
 nally Christian, it has seemed to me that some good might 
 be done by making permanent provision for obtaining and 
 publishing, once in two years, a prize essay, setting forth 
 truths and reasoning calculated to counteract such worldly 
 influences, and impressing on the minds of all Christians a 
 solemn sense of their duty to exhibit in their godly lives and 
 conversation the beneficent effects of the religion they pro- 
 fess, and thus increase the efficiency of Christianity in Chris- 
 tian countries, and recommend its acceptance to the heathen 
 nations of the world." For this purpose, he provides ten 
 thousand dollars. 
 
 At the age of eighty-one, he d. June 21, 1869. His 
 remains repose at Mount Auburn ; and over them we in- 
 quire, — where are the young men of this generation to fill 
 the places of those gone before ?

 He labored in early life upon his father's farm, receiving 
 such education as the district school afforded in those days. 
 Commencing at the age of seventeen, he taught school dur- 
 ing the winter months for five years. At his first appearance 
 for parade in the militia, he was chosen a sergeant, and after- 
 wards held nearly every post to that of brigadier-general. 
 He attended for a short time the military school in Nor- 
 wich, Vt. 
 
 He was one of the earliest and most efficient laborers in 
 the temperance cause. He addressed meetings in various 
 parts of the State, and was president of the State temper- 
 ance society. At the time he was colonel of a militia regi- 
 ment, he called the officers together and procured a vote to 
 abolish the custom of "treating" on parade days. He had 
 then to encounter bitter opposition and abuse ; but he has 
 lived to see a law prohibiting the sale of the destructive 
 poison effectually enforced in his State, and never likely 
 be repealed. 
 
 In 1837, he took up the antislavery cause, and was its 
 untiring champion, until Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that 
 slavery was no more. 
 
 He was elected in 1854 lieut.-gov., and in 1856, governor 
 of the State of Vermont, and held the latter office two

 years. He was elector of pres. and vice-pres. of the U. S. 
 in 1864, and was delegate to two national conventions for 
 the nomination of pres. and vice-pres. of the U. S. 
 
 A member of the Bapt. church, he has taken great inter- 
 est in the moral and religious improvement of the people, 
 especially by the promotion of Sunday schools. 
 
 He has cultivated, almost during his life, the farm where 
 his father settled, and he now lives in the old mansion which 
 his father built on Black Eiver, a little below Proctors ville. 
 
 As a speaker, his manner is pleasing and persuasive, though 
 his voice is not very full or clear. His style is logical, and 
 full of illustration, without any apparent effort for effect.

 his large family almost destitute. This was during the dark 
 days of the Revolution. Then the widow struggled to get

 bread for her children. By night and day she labored ; she 
 made garments of the skins of moose, goats, and other ani- 
 mals ; and at the same time she had to constantly watch and 
 tend her son Daniel, who was a helpless invalid with white 
 swellings. After all, she was obliged to have help from the 
 town. But the town was poor, and so they took from her 
 the two boys who might at least have lightened her labors, 
 and put them out to trades. Her step-sons had gone to the 
 army ; and so she struggled on. Afterwards she m. Thomas

 DANIEL 6 (2316), b. 1775. When very young, the 
 family being in destitute circumstances, by the death of the 
 father and the absence of his older brothers in the war, he 
 was, with his bro. Timothy, put out to work for his living. 
 Daniel, being a cripple, was put to a saddler by the name of 
 Brown. In course of time, when he was about nineteen 
 years old, a difficulty arose between Brown and his appren- 
 tices, and Daniel escaped and reached New York city. He

 TIMOTHY 6 (2317), b. May 9, 1779, in Acton, Ms., and 
 was but twenty days old when his father d., leaving a large 
 family in extreme poverty. He was but a mere child when 
 he was bound out to a farmer to serve during his minority, 
 and he faithfully served out his whole time. The following 
 is his own account, written when over eighty years of age, 
 of a journey to New York city in 1792 : 
 
 "At the age of twenty-three, I set out to find my long- 
 absent brother Daniel. On foot and alone, at the rate of 
 fifty miles a day, I travelled -until I arrived at Bridgeport, 
 Ct. , where for the first time I found myself on board a sail- 
 ing craft. Arriving at Hellgate, the old sea captains, on 
 learning that there was a raw Yankee on board, were dis- 
 posed to have some sport ; but there being on board a num- 
 ber of families moving to New York on the first day of May, 
 no action took place." 
 
 In 1803, he went to Lincolnville, Me., and taught school, 
 and the same year m. Mary L. Brown, of that place. Here 
 he bought a farm and lived moie than sixty years, and d. 
 Aug. 21, 1864, ae. eighty-five. "Not too old," he said, "to 
 hate rum and slavery." He was an upright man and a 
 conscientious Christian. His wife d. 1828. Children, all

 The first meeting-house at Wilton, N. II., was built in 
 1752. It was an inconsiderable building, used about twenty- 
 one years and then demolished. The second meeting house 
 which is now standing is a very decent, commodious building. 
 At the raising of this meeting-house, Sept. 7, 1773, a dis- 
 tressing accident happened. WheJI the frame was nearly 
 completed, in consequence of the failure of a supporting 
 timber, one of the beams broke and fell, and several men 
 being on it at the same time fell with it, three of whom, 
 George Lancey, Simeon Fletcher, and Reuben Stiles, were 
 instantly killed. [Farmer & Moore's Hist. Coll. of N. II.,

 His anger there display. 
 
 3 Of men a great collection met, 
 
 A meeting-house to raise ; 
 Therein to speak God's Holy word, 
 And for to sing His praise. 
 
 4 God did their labor prosper, in 
 
 The erection of this frame ; 
 Until it was almost complete, 
 And joy full they became. 
 
 5 They tho't the worst was past and gone, 
 
 And they grew bold and brave; 
 Poor souls ! how little did they think 
 They were so near their grave. ■ . 
 
 6 All on a sudden broke a beam 
 
 And let down fifty-three ; 
 Full twenty-seven feet they fell, — 
 A shocking sight to see.

 " Narrative of the Captivity and Sufferings of Ebenezer Fletcher, 
 of New Ipswich, who was severely wounded and taken prisoner 
 at the battle of Hubbardston, Vt., in the year 1777, by the 
 British and Indians, at the age of 16 years ; after recovering in 
 part, made his escape from the enemy, and travelling through a 
 dreary wilderness, foljf wed by wolves, and beset by tories on 
 his way, whp threatened to take him back to the enemy, but 
 made his escape from them all, and arrived safe home. Written 
 by himself, and published at the request of his friends. Fourth 
 edition, revised and enlarged. New-Ipswich, N. H. Printed 
 by S. Wilder, 1827." 
 
 I, Ebenezer Fletcher, enlisted into the Continental Army, in 
 Capt. Carr's Company, in Col. Nathan Hale's Regiment, as a fifer, 
 and joined the Army at Ticonderoga, under the command of Gen. 
 St. Clair, in the spring of 1777, at which place I was stationed till 
 the retreat of the Army on the 6th of July following. 
 
 Early on the morning of the same day, orders came to strike 
 our tents and swing our packs. It was generally conjectured that 
 we were going to battle ; but orders came immediately to march. 
 We marched some distance before light. By sunrise the enemy 
 had landed from their boats, and pursued us so closely as to fire 
 on our rear. A large body of the enemy followed us all day, but 
 kept so far behind as not to be wholly discovered. Their aim was 
 to attack us suddenly next morning, as they did. 
 
 Having just recovered from the measles, and not being able to 
 march with the main body, I fell in the rear. The morning after 
 our retreat, orders came very early for the troops to refresh and be 
 ready for marching. Some were eating, some were cooking, and 
 all in a very unfit posture for battle. Just as the sun rose, there 
 was a cry, " the enemy are upon us." Looking round I saw the 
 enemy in line of battle. Orders came to lay down our packs and 
 be ready for action. The fire instantly began. We were but few 
 in number compared to the enemy. At the commencement of the 
 battle, many of our party retreated back into the woods. Capt. 
 Carr came up and says, " My lads advance, we shall beat them 
 yet." A few of us followed him in view of the enemy. Every 
 man was trying to secure himself behind girdled trees, which were 
 standing on the place of action. I made shelter for myself and

 discharged my piece. Having loaded again and taken aim, my 
 piece missed fire. I brought the same a second time to my face ; 
 but before I had time to discharge it, I received a musket ball in 
 the small of my back, and fell with my gun cocked. My uncle, 
 Daniel Foster, standing but little distance from me, I made out to 
 crawl to him and spoke to him. He and another man lifted me 
 and carried me back some distance and laid me down behind a 
 large tree, where was another man crying out most bitterly with a 
 grievous wound. By this time I had bled so freely, I was very 
 weak and faint. I observed the enemy were like to gain the 
 ground. Our men began to retreat and the enemy to advance. 
 Having no friend to afford me any relief, every one taking care of* 
 himself, all things looked very shocking to me ; to remain where I 
 was and fall into the hands of the enemy, especially in the condi- 
 tion I was in, expecting to receive no mercy, it came into my mind 
 to conceal myself from them if possible. I made use of my hands 
 and knees, as well as I could, and crawled about two rods among 
 some small brush, and got under a log. Here I lay concealed from 
 the enemy, who came instantty to the place I lay wounded at. 
 What became of my distressed partner I know not. The enemy 
 pursued our men in great haste. Some of them came over the log 
 where I lay. Some came so near I could almost touch them. I 
 was not discovered by the enemy till the battle was over. When 
 they were picking up the dead and wounded among the brush and 
 logs, I heard them coming towards me, and began to be much ter- 
 rified, lest I should be found. I nattered myself that our men 
 would come back after the battle was over and take me off ; but to 
 m} T great surprise, two of the enemy came so nigh, I heard one of 
 them say, " Here is one of the rebels." I lay flat on my face 
 across my hands, rolled in my blood. I dared not stir, being afraid 
 they meant me, by saying, " here is one of the rebels." They 
 soon came to me, and pulled off my shoes, supposing me to be 
 dead I looked up and spoke, telling them I was their prisoner, 
 and begged to be used well. " Damn 3 r ou," says one, " } t ou de- 
 serve to be used well, don't you ? What's such a .young rebel as 
 you fighting for ? " One of these men was an officer, who appeared 
 to be a pretty sort of a man He spoke to the soldier, who had 
 taken my shoes, and sa} T s, " Give back the shoes and help the man 
 into camp." My shoes were given back by the soldier according 
 to order. The soldier then raised me upon my feet, and conducted 
 me to the British camp. Here I found a number of my brother 
 soldiers in the same situation as nryself. I was laid on the ground 
 and remained in this posture till the afternoon, before my wound 
 was dressed. Two Doctors came to m} T assistance. They raised 
 me up, and examined my back. One of them said, " My lad, you 
 stood a narrow chance ; had the ball gone in or out half its big- 
 ness, you must have been killed instantly." I asked him if he 
 thought there was any prospect of my getting well again. He 
 
252 FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — APPENDIX C. 
 
 answered, " There is some prospect " I concluded by his reply, 
 he considered my case hazardous. The Doctors appeared to be 
 very kind and faithful. They pulled several pieces of my clothes 
 from my wound, which were forced in by the ball I received. 
 
 Some of the enemy were very kind, while others were very spiteful 
 and malicious. One of them came and took my silver shoe-buckles 
 and left me an old pair of brass ones, and said exchange was no 
 robbery ; but I thought it robbery at a high rate. Another came 
 and took off my neck handkerchief. An old negro came and took 
 my fife, which I considered as the greatest insult I had received 
 while with the enemy. The Indians often came and abused me 
 with their language, — calling us Yankees and rebels, — but they 
 were not allowed to injure us. I was stripped of everything valu- 
 able about me. 
 
 The enemy soon marched back to Ticonderoga, and left only a 
 few to take care of the wounded- I was treated as well as I could 
 expect. Doctor Haze was the head doctor, and he took true care 
 that the prisoners were well treated. Doctor Blocksom, an under 
 surgeon, appeared to be very kind indeed ; he was the one who had 
 the care of me. He never gave me any insulting or abusive lan- 
 guage : he sometimes would say, "Well, my lad, think you'll be 
 willing to list in the King's service if you should get well?" My 
 answer was always no. The officers would flatter me to list in 
 their service ; telling me they were very sure to conquer the coun- 
 try, since they had got our strongest post. I told them I should 
 not list. 
 
 But among all the troubles I met with, I received particular 
 favors from two of the British. This conduct appeared to me very 
 remarkable ; why or wherefore it should be, I knew not ; but He 
 who hath the hearts of all men in his hands, gave me favor in their 
 sight. They would often visit me, and asked me if I wanted any- 
 thing to eat or drink. If I did, I had it. The first time one of 
 these friends came to me was soon after I was brought to the 
 camp. 
 
 As I lay on the ground, he asked me if I did not want a bed to 
 lie on : I told him I did. He went and got a large hemlock bark, 
 and finding many old coats and overalls, taken from the dead and 
 wounded, he put them in the bark, made me a bed, and laid me 
 into it. He built a shelter over me with barks, to keep the rain 
 from me, Avhich was a great kindness, as it rained exceeding hard 
 the next night. He went to a spring, and brought me water as 
 often as I wanted, which was very often, being very dry, my loss 
 of blood occasioning much thirst. He asked me, also, if I wanted 
 to eat. I answered, yes ; for having eat but little that day, I was 
 very faint and hungry. He told me he did not know as it was in 
 his power to procure anything for me, but would go and try. After 
 an absence of considerable time (certainly the time seemed long) 
 he returned with a piece of broiled pork and broiled liver, telling 
 
FLETCHEB GENEALOGY. — APPENDIX C. 253 
 
 me this was all the food he could get. I thanked him, and told 
 him it was very good. 
 
 The next day, he came and told me he had orders to march, and 
 must therefore leave me. Was very sony he could stay no longer 
 with me, but hoped somebody would take care of me. Taking me 
 b}^ the hand, he wished me well and left me. 
 
 The loss of so good a friend grieved me exceedingly ; but I soon 
 heard that my other friend was ordered to sta}^ behind to help take 
 care of the wounded. My spirits, which before were very much 
 depressed, when I heard of this, were much exhilerated, and once 
 more I felt tolerably happy. The difference in mankind never 
 struck me more sensibly than while a prisoner. Some would do 
 everything in their power to make me comfortable and cheerful, 
 while others abused me with the vilest of language ; telling me 
 that the prisoners would all be hanged ; that they would drive all 
 the damned rebels into the sea, and that their next winter quarters 
 would be in Boston. They certainly wintered in Boston ; but, to 
 their great disappointment and chagrin, as prisoners of war ! 
 
 But to return. My wound being now a little better, I began to 
 think of escaping. from the enemy. Two of my fellow-prisoners 
 agreed to accompany me, — one of them being well acquainted with 
 the way to Otter Creek. This plan, however, failed ; for before we 
 had an opportunity for making our escape, Doctor Haze called 
 upon my companions to be ready to march for Ticonderoga, telling 
 them that the next morning they must leave this place. Thus I 
 found, that as soon as the prisoners were able to ride, they were 
 ordered to Ticonderoga. Being thus disappointed, I begged of the 
 Doctor to let me go with them. Says he, " You are very danger- 
 ously wounded, and it is improper for you to ride so far yet, but as 
 soon as }'ou are able you shall go." Being thus defeated, I again 
 resolved to run away, even if I went alone ; and it was not long 
 before I had an opportunity, As all the prisoners were sent off 
 except such as were badly wounded, they thought it unnecessary to 
 guard us very closely. I soon was able to go to the spring, which 
 was at a little distance from the camp. Thither I often went for 
 water for myself and the Hessians, who, by the way, appeared to 
 be pleased with me. I often waited upon them, brought them 
 water, made their beds, etc., and found my fare the better for it. 
 J often walked out into the woods where the battle was fought ; 
 went to the tree where I was shot down, observed the trees which 
 were very much marked with the balls. Looking around one day, 
 I found some leaves of a Bible ; these I carried into the camp, and 
 diverted myself by reading them ; for I felt much more contented 
 when I had something to -read. My friend, whom I have before 
 mentioned, one day brought me a very good book, which he told 
 me to keep as a present from him. This I heartily thanked him 
 for, and whenever I was tired by walking, would lay down and 
 read. 
 
254 FLETGHEB GENEALOGY.— APPENDIX C. 
 
 On the 2 2d of July, a number of men came down from Ticonde- 
 roga, with horses and litters sufficient to carry off the remainder of 
 the wounded. Dr. Haze came to us and told us, that to-morrow 
 we should all be carried where we should have better care taken of 
 us. Says he, " I will send the orderly sergeant, who will see that 
 your bloody clothes are well washed." This, he thought, would be 
 very agreeable news to us. I pretended to be very much pleased, 
 though I was determined never to go. I told the person who lay 
 next to me that I intended to run away ; desired him to make them 
 believe I had taken the north road, if they inclined to pursue me, 
 for I should take the south. Says he, "I will do all in my power 
 to assist you, and wish it was possible for me to go with you." 
 
 I made it my business that day to procure provisions sufficient 
 for my journey. I had spared a little bread from my daily allow- 
 ance, and although dry and mouldy, yet it was the best to be had. 
 I had a large jack-knife left, of which the enemy had not robbed 
 me. I sold this for a pint of wine, thinking it would do me more 
 good on my march than the knife — as the event proved. The wine 
 I put in a bottle, and carefully stowed it in iny pocket. I was hard 
 put to it to get my shirt washed and dried before evening. How- 
 ever, agreeing with some to make their beds if they would dry my 
 shirt, it was ready to put on by dark. I then went to my tent, took 
 off my coat and jacket, and put on my clean shirt over my dirty 
 one, and having filled my pockets with the little provision I had 
 saved, I began to march homeward, shoeless, reflecting what I 
 should do for so material a part of my clothing. It came into my 
 mind that one Jonathan Lambert had died of his wounds a day or 
 two before, and left a good pair of shoes. Supposing my right to 
 them equal to any other person, I took them and put them on. 
 
 It being dark, I went out undiscovered, and steered into the 
 woods. After going a little way, I turued into the road and made 
 a halt. Now was the trying scene ! The night being very dark, 
 everything before me appeared gloomy and discouraging ; my 
 wound was far from being healed ; my strength much reduced by 
 the loss of blood, pain, and poor living. Thus situated, to travel 
 alone, I knew not where, having no knowledge of the way, I thought 
 would be highly presumptuous. How far I should have to travel 
 before I could reach any inhabitants, I could not tell. Indians, I 
 supposed, were lurking about, and probably I might be beset by 
 them and murdered, or carried back ; and if I avoided them, per- 
 haps I might perish in the wilderness. 
 
 Reflecting upon these things, my resolution began to flag, and I 
 thought it most prudent to return and take my fate. I turned 
 about and went back a few rods, when the following words struck 
 me as if whispered in my ear : Put not your hands to the plough and 
 \ou~k back. 1 immediately turned about again, fully resolved to 
 pursue my journey through the woods ; but before morning, had I 
 been possessed of millions of gold, I would freely have given the 
 
FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — APPENDIX C. 255 
 
 whole to have been once more with the enemy. The road which I 
 had to travel was newly opened, leading from Hubbardston to Otter 
 Creek. The night being dark, and the road very crooked, I found 
 it very difficult to keep it ; often running against trees and rocks, 
 before I knew I was out of it, and then it was with much trouble 
 that I found it again, which sometimes I was obliged to do upon 
 my hands and knees, and often up to my knees in mire. 
 
 About twelve o'clock, I heard something coming towards me : 
 what it conld be, I knew not. I halted and looked back ; it was so 
 dark I was at a loss to determine what it was, but thought it looked 
 like a dog. That a dog should be so far from inhabitants, I 
 thought very strange. I at once concluded that he belonged to the 
 Indians, and that they were not far off. I however ventured to 
 speak to him, and he immediately came to me. I gave him a piece 
 of mouldy bread, which he eat, and soon appeared fond of me. At 
 first, I was afraid he would betray me to the Indians, but soon 
 found him of service ; for I had not gone far before I heard the 
 noise of some wild beast. I had just set down to rest me, with my 
 back against a tree, my wound being very painful, As the beast 
 approached, my dog appeared very much frightened, — laid close 
 down by me, and trembled as if he expected to be torn in pieces. 
 I now began to be much terrified : I however set very still, know- 
 ing it would do no good to run. He came within two rods of me, 
 and stopped; I was unable to determine what it was, but supposed 
 it was a wolf. I soon found I was not mistaken. After looking 
 at me some time, he turned about and went off; but, before long, 
 returned with a large reinforcement. In his absence, I exerted 
 myself to the utmost to get forward, fearing he would be after me 
 again. After travelling about half an hour, I was alarmed with 
 the most horrible howling, which I supposed to be near the tree 
 which I rested by. Judge what my feelings were, when I found 
 these beasts of prey were pursuing me, and expected every minute 
 to be devoured by them ! But, in the midst of this trouble, to my 
 infinite jo}^, I discovered fires but a little way before me, which, 
 from several circumstances, I was sure were not built by Indians. 
 I therefore at once concluded they were fires of some scouting party 
 of Americans, and I made great haste to get to them, lest I should 
 be overtaken by the wolves, which were now but a little behind. 
 I approached so hear the fires as to hear men talk, when I imme- 
 diately discovered them to be enemies. Thus disappointed, I knew 
 not what course to take. If I continued in the woods, I should be 
 devoured by wild beasts ; for, having eat of the bodies which were 
 left on the field of battle, the}' continued lurking for more. If I 
 gave myself up to the enemy, I should certainly be carried back 
 to Ticonderoga, and to Canada, and probably fare no better for 
 attempting to run away. Which way to escape, I knew not. I 
 turned a little out of the path, and lay down on the ground to hear 
 what was said by the enemy, expecting every moment they would 
 
256 FLETGHEB GENEALOGY. — APPENDIX G. 
 
 discover me : the darkness of the night, however, prevented. These 
 howling beasts approached as near the fires as they dared, when 
 they halted, and continued their horrid yells for some time,— being 
 afraid to come so nigh as I was. After the howling had ceased, I 
 began to think of getting round the enemy's camp, being pretty 
 certain that, as yet, I was not discovered. I arose from the ground, 
 and took a course which I thought would carry me round the ene- 
 my's camp. After travelling a little way, I came to the foot of a 
 high mountain. To go round it, I thought would carry me too 
 much out of nry course ; I resolved, therefore, to ascend it. With 
 much difficulty, I arrived at the. top, then took a tack to the right : 
 travelling that course some time, I found I was bewildered and 
 lost ; and which way to go to find the road again, I knew not, hav- 
 ing neither moon nor stars to direct me ; so I wandered about in 
 this wilderness till almost day, when I became so fatigued and 
 worried that I was obliged to lay down again. Judge what a per- 
 son's feeling's must be in such a situation ! 
 
 I now repented of my ever leaving the enemy. Here I was lost 
 in the woods, with but very little provision, my wounds extremely 
 painful, and little or no prospect of ever seeing human beings again. 
 Thus I lay and reflected, my dog walking round me like a faithful 
 sentinel, till I fell asleep ; but was soon alarmed with the noise of 
 cannon, which I concluded, by the direction^ must be at Ticonde- 
 roga. Never was sound more grateful to my ears than this cannon. 
 I thought I might possibly live to reach the place, and though an 
 enemy's camp 5 I would have given anything to be with them again. 
 
 Soon after the morning gun was fired, I heard the drums beat 
 in the camp which I had visited in the night. This noise was still 
 more grateful, for I was sure they were not at a great distance. 
 With much difficulty, I got upon my legs again, with a determina- 
 tion to go to their camp. I found, however, that I could scarcely 
 stand ; for, having laid down when I was very sweaty, I had taken 
 cold, and was so' stiff and sore that I could hardly move. I now 
 had recourse to my little bottle of wine, wjilch relieved me very 
 much, and then began to march towards the drums, which still 
 continued beating. 
 
 After travelling a little way, I heard a cock crow, which ap- 
 peared near the drums. I thought it of little consequence which 
 object to pursue, both being nearly in the same direction. But the 
 noise of the drums soon ceased, and I steered for the other object, 
 which soon brought me into open land, and in sight of a house. I 
 got to the door just as the man arose from his bed. After the 
 usual compliments, I asked him how far it was to the British en- 
 campments. He answered, about fifty rods. '"Do you want to go 
 to them ? " says he. I never was more at a stand what reply to 
 make. As none of the enemy appeared about the house, I thought 
 if I could persuade this man to befriend me, I possibly might avoid 
 them ; but if he should prove to be a tory, and know from whence 
 
FLETGHEB GENEALOGY.— APPENDIX C. 251 
 
 I came, he would certainly betray me. I stood perhaps a minute 
 without saying a word. He seeing my confusion, spoke again to 
 me : " Come," said he, "come into the house." I went in and sat 
 down. I will tell you, said I, what I want, if you will promise not 
 to hurt me. He replied, "I will not injure you, if you do not 
 injure us." This answer did not satisfy me, for, as yet, I could 
 not tell whether he would be a friend or foe. I sat and viewed him 
 for some minutes, and at last resolved to tell him from whence I 
 came, and where I wished to go, let the event be what it would. I 
 was a soldier, said I, in the Continental army, was dangerously 
 wounded and taken prisoner, had made my escape from the enemy, 
 and, after much fatigue and peril, had got through the woods, — 
 being directed to this house by the crowing of a cock. He smiled, 
 and said, " You have been rightly directed ; for had you gone to 
 either of my neighbors, you undoubtedly would have been carried 
 to the enemy again. You have now found a friend who will, if 
 possible, protect you. It is true they have forced me to take the 
 oath of allegiance to the king ; but I sincerely hope the Americans 
 will finally prevail, for I believe their cause to be just and equitable. 
 Should they know of my harboring rebels, as they call us, I cer- 
 tainly should suffer for it. Anything I can do for you without 
 exposing my own life, I will do." I thanked him for his, kindness, 
 and desired him not to expose himself on my account. 
 
 After giving me something to eat and drink, he concealed me in 
 a chamber, where he said I might stay till the dew was off, and 
 then go out into some secret place in the bushes, there to continue 
 till night. This he said was necessary, as the enemy were often 
 plundering about his house, and if I continued in it, I should prob- 
 ably be discovered, which would ruin him. A little boy was set as 
 a sentinel at the door, who was to give notice if the enemy came 
 near. I had not been in the house half an hour, before a number 
 of them came in, but with no other design than to buy some rum 
 and milk, and to borrow a pot for cooking. 
 
 As soon as they were gone, the woman came into the chamber 
 to dress my wound. She washed it with rum, applied dressings, 
 and bound it up as well as she could. She showed every mark of 
 kindness to me ; but her husband, whose name was Moulton, in a 
 day or £wo after I got to his house, was pressed by the enemy to 
 bring stores from Skeensborough [now ^hite Hall] with his team, 
 and I never saw the good old man any more. His wife was in 
 much trouble lest the enemy should find me in the house and be so 
 enraged as to kill all the family. She permitted her little boy to 
 guide me to the bushes, where I might secrete myself: she gave 
 me a blanket to lie on. The boy went with me to my lurking 
 place, that I might be easily found, so as to receive refreshment. 
 When night came on, I was called by the boy to the house again, 
 and took my old stand in the chamber ; the woman feared I should 
 receive injury by lodging out of doors. She informed me that a 
 
 33 
 
258 FLETOHEB GENEALOGY. — APPENDIX C. 
 
 man would lodge there that night who was brother-in-law to her 
 husband, and who had actually taken up arms against his country. 
 I told her I apprehended danger from tarrying in the house ; she 
 said there would not be any ; I then lay snug in my straw. 
 
 In a short time, the tory came for some drink. The indiscreet 
 woman told him she had an American in the chamber who had been 
 taken prisoner by the British and had escaped. He asked her what 
 kind of a man I was. She told him I was a young fellow, and wanted 
 much to get home, and begged that I might not be taken back to 
 the enemy or betrayed. His answer was very rough, and I began 
 to think I was gone for it. I expected to be forced back, but the 
 woman interceding so hard for me, softened the ferocity of my tory 
 enemy. Knowing I was discovered, I crawled from my hiding 
 place, and began a conversation with the man. He asked me if I 
 belonged to the rebel service. I told him I belonged to the Conti- 
 nental service. " What is that,*' said he, "but the rebel service?" 
 He addressed me in very insolent language, and said he was very 
 sorry to have me leave the king's troops in the manner I had done, 
 and he would have me to know I was in his hands. I was patient 
 and mild in my situation, telling him I was at his disposal. My 
 good mistress often put in a word on my behalf. 
 
 After some time spent in this way, the man asked me if he 
 should chance to be taken, and in my power as I was in his, whether 
 I should let him escape. I told him I should. " Then," says he, 
 " if you will promise this, I will not detain you ; also, that if you 
 are retaken before you reach home, you will not inform that you 
 have seen me, or have been at my brother's." I gave him my 
 promise. His advice to me was immediately to set out, for if I 
 should stay long I might be picked up by some person. "And," 
 says he, " I advise you to travel in the night, and hide in the day, 
 for many volunteers are reconnoitering up and down the country."" 
 I concluded to travel, but my feeling landlady thought it best to stay 
 a few days longer. My friend tory said it was best for me to travel 
 as soon as possible. u If you are determined to go to-night," said 
 the woman, " I will dress your wound, and give you food for your 
 iourney." I told her I would go as soon as possible. She then 
 dressed my wound for the last time, and filled my pockets with 
 good provision. After thanking her for her kindness, — it being 
 all the compensation I could make, and I believe all that she de- 
 sired, — I left her. 
 
 But, before I proceed on my journey, I must tell you that my 
 dog, who had accompanied me through many dangers, I was 
 obliged to drive from me. When in the chamber, he would com- 
 monly lay at the foot of the stairs. Mrs. Moulton often told me 
 she was afraid he would betray me ; for, as the enemy were often 
 in, should they see the dog, might suspect that somebody was in 
 the chamber. I told her, with much regret, to drive him away. 
 She, with her little boy, tried all in their power to get rid of him, 
 
FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — APPENDIX C. 259 
 
 but in vain ; the dog would stay about the house. At length, she 
 called me to drive him away. I came down, and, after much diffi- 
 culty, effected it. 
 
 But to return. After being told the course I must take, I began 
 my journey in the night, which was dark and cloudy, through the 
 woods. I had not travelled more than two hours before I got lost. 
 I concluded I had missed the road, and, having reached the end of 
 one I was then in, began to think of going back. 'My wound 
 began to be very painful, and I was so sore I could scarcely go. 
 While I was seeking for the road again, there came up a thunder 
 shower, and rained fast, I crawled into an old, forsaken hovel, 
 which was near, and lay till the shower was over ; then went back 
 half a mile, and found the road once more. The road being newly 
 opened through the woods, was very bad, and it was with much 
 difficulty I could get along, often tumbling over roots and stones, 
 and sometimes up to my knees in mire. I once fell, and was 
 obliged to lay several minutes before I could recover myself. 
 
 About twelve o'clock at night, as I was walking in this wilder- 
 ness, I was surprised by two large, wild animals, which lay close 
 by the road, and started up as soon as they saw me ; ran a few 
 rods, and turned about towards me. Whether they were bears or 
 wolves, I could not tell ; I was, however, exceedingly terrified, and 
 would have given any thing for my dog again. One of them fol- 
 lowed me for a long time ; sometimes would come close to me, and 
 at others, kept at a considerable distance. At last, he got dis- 
 couraged and left me, and certainly I did not regret his absence. 
 
 At daylight, I came to open land, and discovered a house be- 
 longing to Col. Mead. I was not a little rejoiced to see his house, 
 as I knew he would be a friend to me ; but my joy was of short 
 continuance, for as soon as I looked into the door, I saw marks of 
 the enemy, everything belonging to the house being carried off or 
 destro} r ed. I thought it not prudent to go into the house, lest some 
 of the enemy might be within, so I passed on as fast as possible. 
 It now began to grow light, and what to do with mysein could not 
 tell. My friends had advised me to lay concealed in the daj^-time 
 and teavel in the night. 
 
 -When I viewed the depredations the enemy had made on the 
 inhabitants, — and many of whom had fled ; not knowing how far 
 I must travel to find friends, and my wound being very trouble- 
 some, I reflected long, whether to tarry and be made prisoner, or 
 push forward through a dreary wilderness. Death seemed to 
 threaten me on all sides : however, I collected resolution sufficient 
 to make to the east. I conceived myself exposed by my uniform 
 and bloody clothes. To prevent a discovery by any who should be 
 an enemy, I took off my shirt and put it over my coat, by which 
 my uniform was covered. In this line I marched ; it being the 
 orders of the British for all tories, who came to join them, to appear 
 in this dress, I considered myself protected. 
 
26() FLETCHER GENEALOGY. — APPENDIX G. 
 
 I travelled till the middle of the day, before I saw any person. 
 I then met a man driving cattle, as I supposed, to the enemy. He 
 examined me closely, and inquired if I was furnished with a pass. 
 I gave him plausible answers to all his questions, and so far satis- 
 fied him as to proceed unmolested. I inquired of him if he knew 
 one Joshua Priest. He told me he did, and very readily directed 
 me to the place where he lived. Leaving this man, I had not 
 travelled far before I met a number more, armed ; being within 
 about fifty rods of them, I thought to hide myself, but found I could 
 not : I then made towards them without any apparent fear. Com- 
 ing up to them, I expected a strict examination ; but they only 
 asked me how far it was to such a town. I informed them as well 
 as I could, and pushed on my way. 
 
 Being within a mile and a half of said Priest's, I saw two men 
 making towards me ; they came to a fence and stopped. I heard 
 them say, "Let's examine this fellow, and know what his business 
 is." One of them asked me where I was going. I told him to 
 Joshua Priest's. He asked me my business there. I answered 
 him, upon no bad errand. He says, " You are a spy." I told him 
 I was no spy. I did not like the fellow's looks, therefore dropped 
 the conversation with him, believing he was one of the enemy. I 
 resolved not to converse with any one, till I had arrived at Priest's, 
 unless compelled to. Being almost overcome with fatigue, I wished 
 for rest ; however, these men seemed determined to stop me or do 
 me some mischief, for when I walked on, they followed me upon 
 the run, and in great rage told me I should go no farther until I 
 had made known to them who and what I was ; saying, they had 
 asked me a civil question, and they required a civil answer. I told 
 them if they would go to Priest's, I would tell them all the truth, 
 and satisfy them entirely, — repeating to them I was no spy. They 
 said they did not mean to leave me till they were satisfied respect- 
 ing me. I then, in short, told them what I had before in the whole, 
 and added, that I was well acquainted with Priest, and intended to 
 tarry with Mm some time. 
 
 We all arrived at Priest's, who at first did not recollect me. 
 After some pause, he told me he was surprised to see me, as my 
 father had informed him I was slain at Hubbardston. I told him I 
 was yet alive, but had received a bad wound. His family soon 
 dressed my wound, and made me comfortable. 
 
 I then, in the presence and hearing of my tory followers, told 
 Priest the story of my captivity and escape ; also repeated the 
 insolent language used by the tories towards our people when 
 prisoners with the enemy. Finding Priest my friend, I said many 
 severe things against the tories, and fixed my countenance sternly 
 on those fellows who had pretended to lord it over me, and stop me 
 on the way. They bore all without saying a word, but looked as 
 surly as bulls. 
 
 I soon found these tory gentry had premeditated carrying me 
 
FLETCHEB GENEALOGY. — APPENDIX C. 261 
 
 back, and were seeking help to prosecute their design. My friend 
 Priest loaded his gun, and said he would give them a grist if they 
 dared come after me : but failing of getting any persons to join 
 them, I was not molested. 
 
 I could often hear my tory followers' threatenings against me, 
 to take me back, saying I should be able to fight again, and do 
 injury to the enemy. I feared these tories would do hurt ; but my 
 fears were quieted by finding the neighbors were my friends, and 
 would afford me their protection. But I will write one more tory 
 plan. 
 
 After being at Priest's about ten days, there came, one morn- 
 ing, a number of persons to see me, and appeared very friendly 
 and much concerned lest I should be taken by the enemy. They 
 informed me a man had arrived from Burg^ne's army, and a 
 party of Indians was to be sent forward to guard the town where I 
 was, and protect the tories and their property, — our people coming 
 twice while I was at Priest's to take tory property. These people 
 told me an honest story, and advised me to travel immediately. 
 Being desirous to get home, I told my friend Priest I would not 
 stay any longer. He says, "Don't be scared, I apprehend no 
 danger from the Indians, tarry yet awhile, for your wound is not 
 healed. You are not able to travel through the woods ; but do as 
 you think best." These men cried out, "Escape, escape, for your 
 life : Indians will be upon you before to-morrow night." 
 
 Having resolved to go on, my friends furnished me with provis- 
 ions sufficient for my journey. Without doubts or fears, I went 
 on my way ; and after travelling all day, I arrived at a place called 
 Ludlow. From this town the people all fled and left their habita- 
 tions. Great was my disappointment ! I spent the night in a 
 melancholy manner, having neither fire nor bed to comfort my 
 shivering and impaired body. 
 
 About day, I set out from the dreary house which had sheltered 
 me in the night. By travelling, I found I had taken cold, and my 
 wound was very painful Desponding, I thought it best to go back 
 about seven miles to some inhabitants, rather than to proceed 
 homeward. Just before night, I arrived at the place of the inhabit- 
 ants, seven miles back, who received me kindly, and took special 
 care of my wound. 
 
 Just before sunset of the third day after my departure, I came 
 to my old friend Priest's again, who appeared very glad to see me. 
 Now it was not any friendship in my tory visitors who advised me 
 to escape, but for fear I should betray them, — their reports after- 
 wards proving a lie. 
 
 At my old friends I remained six weeks : in the meantime my 
 wound was almost healed. I was hospitably entertained by him. 
 
 Having heard that one Mr. Atwell, belonging to New Marlbo- 
 rough, was in the neighborhood with a team to move a family, I 
 agreed with him for a horse to ride. After a journey of a few 
 
262 FLETCHER GENEALOGY.— APPENDIX C. 
 
 days, I safely arrived at New Ipswich, and once more participated 
 the pleasure of seeing and enjoying my friends, and no enemy to 
 make me afraid. 
 
 Not long afterwards, an officer from the army hearing of my 
 return, ordered me to be arrested and returned to the main body of 
 the American army, although my wound was scarcely healed. In 
 a few weeks, I joined my corps, then stationed in Pennsylvania, 
 having yet two years to serve my country in the tented field. 
 
 We afterwards went on an expedition against the Indians, to 
 the Genesee country, a long and tedious march, commanded by 
 Gen. Staillivan, where we drove the savages before us, burnt their 
 huts, destroyed their corn. The first Indian settlement we came to 
 was called " Tiauger," where they lay in ambush, in a thick wood 
 on a hill, where they fired on our men and killed seven. After 
 that, we were ordered to march in the following order : The army 
 was divided into four columns, and the head of each column had a 
 horn or trumpet, and each of these divisions marched as far apart 
 as they could hear each other sound. We marched in this line all 
 the way afterward ; if we had not, they undoubtedly would have 
 waylaid and killed us all. There were two men that left their 
 place and went out from the main body and were taken by the 
 Indians and tortured to death in the most cruel maimer. 
 
 Our provision was like to fail : we had to go on half allowance 
 a long time, or we should have starved. Finding few enemies to 
 contend with in that quarter, as they were not disposed to meet us 
 in the open field, we received the gladly-obeyed orders to return 
 to New England, where we remained the ensuing autumn. Noth- 
 ing more of importance, to me or the reader, occurred, until the 
 three long years rolled away, except when in Pennsylvania, I had 
 the honor of being acquainted with Gen* Washington and Gen. 
 Lafayette, and then I received my discharge [March 30, 1780]. 
 
 And now, kind reader, wishing that you may forever remain 
 ignorant of the real sufferings of the veteran soldier from hunger 
 and cold, from sickness and captivity, I bid you a cordial adieu.
