It has not been the plan of the compiler of this book to make an exhaustive history of Nantucket, or a com- plete genealogy of its various families. Several histories and genealogical books of individual families have been prepared, and are a great help in a work like this. It is not necessary, however, to the islanders that complete genealogies be put at their disposal, since the town, court and Friends' records are imusually complete and well preserved, and may be consulted if one really " wants to know." There are matters which, to the people of !N"antucket, who have one hundred or more years of family record on the island, are of common interest. It must be remembered that very few of the early settlers came directly from the old world to IsTantucket. Settlements were located on the " main land," and family alliances made which are now interesting to note; and in the few instances where the families are brought down to the present time, it is intended to show the cropping up wherever one may go of descendants of the quiet Quaker people whose beginnings were so humble, but whose influence has been so widespread. If some names are mentioned of those who have at- tained prominence, it is not with the view of passing others by. Perhaps the credit may be due not to him Early Settlers of Nantucket. who has made his mark, but to the earnest parent who in his far-off island home has toiled To save all earnings to the uttermost. And give his child a better bringing up Than his had been, or hers. The early settlers were pioneers in every sense of the word, and had more of family history than of this world's goods with which to begin life. The American ancestry of IN^antucketers is not alone on the little island, which it is our pleasure to honor, but may be found in several States. The purpose of this volume is to follow to some ex- tent the wanderings and the manner of life, not only of the early settlers themselves, but of their associates and descendants. The compiler would express her appreciation of the valuable information given by members of the several families whose lineage is herein set down.

Belknap, in his Biography of Biron,* says, " An Ice- lander of the name Herioff and his son Biron * made a voyage every year to different countries for the sake of traffic. " About the beginning of the eleventh century (1001) their ships were separated by a storm. When Biron * arrived in Norway he heard that his father was gone to Greenland, and he resolved to follow him; but another storm drove him to the southwest, where he discovered a flat country, free from rocks, but covered with thick woods, and an island near the coast." When on his return to Greenland liis discoveries be- came known. Lief, the son of Eric, Earl of N'orway, equipped a vessel, and " taking Biron * for his pilot sailed (1002) in search of the new country." Belknap says, " Biarne's * description of the coast is * Bjorne. 2 Early Settlers of Nantucket. very accurate and in the island situate to the eastward (between which and the promontory that stretches to the eastward and northward Lief sailed) we recognize Nantucket. The ancient ISTorthmen found there many shallows." There is little doubt that Nantucket was visited by Englishmen very early in the seventeenth century (1002). In the biography of Gosnold, Belknap says, " The shoal water and breach which he calls Tucker's Terror corresponds with the shoal and breakers called Pol- lock's Rip. ... To avoid this danger, it being late in the day, he stood so far out to sea as to overshoot the eastern entrance of what is now called the Vineyard Sound. " The land which he made in the night was a white cliff on the eastern coast of Nantucket now called Sankaty Head. " The breach which lay off Gilbert's Point I take to be the Bass Rip and the Pollock Rip with the cross rip- plings which extend from the southeast extremity of that island. " Over these ripplings there is a depth of water from four to seven fathoms, according to a late map of Nan- tucket, published by Peleg Coffin, Esq., and others." * Some one has said, " He only has the credit of dis- covery who locates." Captain Weymouth was the first to give the geographical position of Sankaty Head in 1605. It is difficult to imagine any native of Nantucket *American Biography. By Jeremy Belknap, D.D.

Settlement of the Island. 3 who would not be interested in facts relating to its his- tory, whether geographical, historical, geological, or genealogical; but the practical interest for us of the present day dates from 1659, when it was finally set- tled by sturdy men, ancestors to so many in this broad land that a brief detail of the public services of those pioneers cannot fail to be of value to their descendants. Tradition assigns two causes for the sudden de- parture of Thomas Macy and Edward Starbuck from Salisbury, Massachusetts. Many of their descendants have believed that perse- cution on account of the harboring of Quakers led those early settlers to leave an already established home, to seek another upon a desolate, bleak island, where skulk- ing Indians, added to its isolated position, made a most inhosj)itable landing-place. On the other hand, most historians attribute the journey of Thomas Macy and Edward Starbuck in 1659 to a business negotiation between them and Thomas Mayhew in regard to the purchase of the island of ISTan- tucket. Benjamin Franklin Folger, one of the well-known genealogists of ISTantucket, has stated that early in 1659 Tristram Cofiin went on a voyage of investigation, first to Martha's Vineyard, where he secured the services of Peter Folger as interpreter, thence to ITantucket, " his object being to ascertain the temper and disposi- tion of the Indians and the capabilities of the island that he might report to the citizens of Salisbury what inducements for emigration thither were offered." Thomas Mayhew, some years before, had received a grant of the islands off the southeast coast of Massa- 4 Earlij Settlers of Nantucket. chusetts from William, Earl of Sterling, and Sir Fer- nando or Ferdinand Gorges, as is shown by the records in the secretary's office at Albany, New York, Kan- tucket having belonged to J^ew York until about 1690. In 1659 the island or the patent of it was still in the possession of the Mayhews. r. B. Hough's book says, " In 1659 the elder May- hew admitted nine others to a joint partnership in the Island of IS'^antucket, reserving a small part to himself, and in February following it was agreed that each Partner might admit another to an equal share in Power and Interest, not being justly excepted to by the Kest." We find on record that in July of 1659 a deed was given by Thomas Mayhew, confirming the sale of the island of Nantucket to nine purchasers, — viz.: Tristeam Coffin. RiCHAED Swain, or Swaywe. Peter Coffin. Stephen Geeenleaf. William Pike. Thomas Macy. Thomas Baenaed. Cheistophee Hussey. John Swain, or Swayne. Note. — In 1641 Nantucket appears to have been under the control of William, Earl of Sterling, and Sir Fernando or Ferdi- nand Gorges, as " during this year the Elizabeth Islands, Capar- rock or Martha's Vineyard, Nanticon or Nantucket and Tuck- anuck or Tuckanuckett " were " gi'aunted unto Thomas Mayhew at Watertowne, Merchant, and to Thomas Mayhew his sonne." The consideration named in the deed of Nantucket was " that Thomas Mayhew and Thomas Mayhew his sonne or either of Settlement of the Island. 5 Copy of Deed of Nantucket to Nine Purchasers {dated July 2, 1659).

On May 1st, 1901, Mr. Henry B. Worth, who is au- thority on old iN^antucket records, sent to the Inquirer and Mirror * a copy of a deed by which a portion of E'antucket was conveyed by the Indians to Thomas Mayhew; this deed antedates that previously published as the first deed, and is confirmatory of the theory that business negotiations between Thomas Macy and his friends, and Thomas Mayhew were pending for a con- siderable time before the deed of July 2d, 1659, was executed. Mr. Worth says that "the deed seems to have re- mained in the possession of Mayhew and his family until the Indians appealed to the General Court to re- cover their lands, when the owner found the old deed and placed it on record," March 26th, 1731, Book 4, p. 93. " The record is accompanied by a plan which plainly indicates the section covered by the deed." COPY OF THE DEED OF " TWENTYETH OF JUNE, 1659." " ' This doth witness that we, [Nickanoose of Nan- tucket, Sachem, and Nanahumo of N'antucket, Sachem, have sold unto Thomas Mayhew of the Vineyard the plain at the West end of Nantucket, that is, according to the figure underwritten, to him, his heirs and assigns forever.

" The records indicate that in February, 1659, months before the execution of the deed of conveyance of Thomas Mayhew to nine purchasers, " the associates in Salisbury, Massachusetts, were enacting rules and regu- lations concerning the method of governing iN^an- tucket." Thomas Macy and his friends appear to have lost no time after the business arrangement between Mr. May- hew and the Indians was completed, the purchase being effected within two weeks after the transaction with JNTickanoose and IvTanahumo. The follo^^^ng deeds prove that notwithstanding the purchase of the island from Thomas Mayhew, a busi- ness negotiation was made with the Indians also, and that the land was fairly bought from them: Abraham ^uiry. 1 nave The last native representalive of Indian blooti on A'antucket.

They purchased or were given a half-interest in the original apportionments, making at a very early date twenty landed proprietors. Among these were men of varied experience and marked executive abiKty, evinced by their embracing every opportunity for the advancement of the settle- ment, and soon an interesting society was established upon the island. The first houses were built at the northwest, not far from a small harbor now called Maddequet Harbor. Later the larger harbor on the north side of the island offered decided advantages, and the town was finally located there and named Sherburne, in compliance with written orders of Governor Lovelace, of Kew York, recorded in Albany in the Secretary's ofiice in Book of Deeds III., p. 85. Many of the houses were moved from their original sites to the new town. ISTumbers at first were so small that intermarriages among these families were very common, and it is not infrequent for a descendant to find the same settler in his family tree several times. These intermarriages made relationships so close that until the latter half of the nineteenth century, when new people began more and more to move to the island, nearly all natives of Kantucket were cousins through a common ancestry. An amusing incident was related to the writer by Maria Mitchell, who during her residence in the ob- servatory at Vassar College, received and entertained many guests; on one occasion she was greeted with " Miss Mitchell, I met a cousin of yours the other day." " Where ? " was the natural question; '' on Profess 07' Maria Mitchell . Settlement of the Island. 13 Nantucket," the expected reply. Miss Mitchell quick- ly said, " Oh, very likely; I have five thousand cousins on Nantucket." At that time five thousand covered the entire population of the island. The population increased steadily until about 1849, when the California gold fever led many to seek wealth on the Pacific Coast, and later, the final decline of the whale fisheries compelled the younger men to find means of support elsewhere, and in comparatively few years the population decreased from nearly ten thousand to less than five thousand. ^ CHAPTER n. THOMAS MACY. Near the town of Salisbury, in Wiltshire, England, in the Parish of Chilmark, resided (" prior to his em- barkation for America, probably in 1635 ") Thomas Macy. The name of the vessel upon which he came to America is not recorded, but he arrived not later than 1639. Thomas Macy was among the original settlers of Salisbury, Massachusetts, and is in " The first or Origi- nal list of ye to^\'nsmen of Salisbury in y*^ booke of Records." Among those to whom lots of ground were granted' in Salisbury we find the names of Thomas Macy, Robert Pike and Phillip Challis. There is no date to the paper or document giving this list, but it is indexed 1639. Merrill's map of Amesbury locates most of the lots on the " Circular Road." Macy's lot is given on the " road to the neck." In 1650 "Phillip Challis, Robert Pike and Tho. Macy " were included in a list of Commoners, and at the same meeting at which they were so enrolled we find " it was ordered y* all whose names are here under written shall be accomp^ed to^^Tiesmen & Comoners & none butt them to this p^'sent." * * Hoyt, pp. 8-9 and 11. \ Thomas Macy. 15 We find also recorded that he was " a mercliaiit, planter,* one of the select-men of the town, a juryman, and, withal a preacher." The Massachusetts laws passed in 1656 and 1657 were a great drawback to freedom of worship. Several persons were prosecuted for violating the law of 1657 which prohibited entertaining Quakers. Among these was Thomas Macy, who was fined thirty shillings, notwithstanding his " explanation and apol- ogy," and was ordered to be admonished by the gov- ernor. It is a matter of record that he sheltered Edward Wharton, William lioljinson, merchant of London, and Marmaduke Stephenson, of Yorkshire, England. The two last named were hanged in Boston the 27th of October, 1659. The following letter from General Court files is a copy of a reply to a summons to appear at court to answer for his violation of the law in this particular: " This is to entreat the honored Court not to be offended because of my non-appearance. It is not from any slighting the authority of this honored Court, nor from f eare to answer the case, but I have bin for some weeks past very ill, and am so at present, and not- withstanding my illness, yet I desirous to appear, have done my utmost endeavour to hire a horse but cannot procure one at present. " I being at present destitute have endeavoured to purchase, but at present cannot attaine it, but shall re- late the truth of the case as my answer should be to y® * A farmer. 16 Early Settlers of Nantucket. honored Court, and more cannot be proved, nor so much. '' On a rainy morning there came to my house Ed- ward Wharton and three men more, the said Wharton spoke to me saying that they were travelling eastward and desired me to direct them in the way to Hampton, and asked me how far it was to Casco Bay. " I never saw any of y^ men afore except Wharton neither did I require their names, or who they were, but by their carriage I thought they might be Quakers and told them so, and therefore desired them to passe on their way, saying to them I might possibly give offence in entertaining them, and as soone as the vio- lence of the rain ceased (for it rained very hard) they went away and I never saw them since. " The time that they stayed in the house was about three quarters of an hour, but I can safely affirm that it was not an houre. " They spake not many words in the time, neither was I at leisure to talke with them, for I came home wet to y® skin, immediately afore they came to the house and I found my wife sick in bed. If this satisfie not the honored Court I shall subject to their sentence. " I have not willingly offended. I am ready to serve and obey you in the Lord. " Thos. Macy." He was a Baptist, and on the Sabbath frequently ex- horted the people; this, too, was in violation of the Massachusetts law which prohibited all but the regular- ly ordained from such ser\'ice. Thomas Macy. 17 Tradition says that immediately after his bentence Thomas Macy removed to JSTantucket. In the " Macy Genealogy '' it is related that " in 1659 he embarked at Salisbury in a small boat with his wife and children and such household goods as he could conveniently carry, and in company with Isaac Cole- man and Edward Starbuck set sail for jSTantucket." * The same papers say, " because he could not in jus- tice to the dictates of his own conscience longer submit to the tyranny of the clergy and those in authority." It appears from the above detail that Thomas Macy Satisfied the requirements of the law and paid his fine, but undoubtedly he believed he could lead a more peaceful and independent life at JSTantucket, and may have preferred voluntary exile to possible banishment. Thomas Macy must have returned to Salisbury, as he is recorded as living there in 1664. Before his removal to IN^antucket he was commis- sioner, and representative to the General Court from Salisbury, and the citizens of that town bore testimony of their sympathy with him, by electing his friend and defender Robert Pike as his successor. That he again, at a later date, removed to Xantucket is evident from old records, Register's office, in which it will be found that October 1, 1675, he was commis- sioned chief magistrate of the town. He was the first recorder appointed on the island, and a portion at least of the first Book of Records in the office at ISTantucket was written by him. He died April 19, 1682, aged seventy-four. His * James Coffin, son of Tristram, Sr., is said to have accompanied the three named. 18 Early Settlers of Nantucket. wife, Sarah (Hopcot) Macy, who came with him from Chilmark, survived him for nearly a quarter of a cen- tury. John Mact, son of Thomas and Sarah Macy, born at Salisbury July 14, 1655, married Deborah Gard- ner, daughter of Richard and Sarah (Shattuck) Gard- ner, and died at ISTantucket, October 14, 1691, at the early age of thirty-six; through him alone the name has descended to posterity. Note. — In 1637-38, George IMacy appears to have been prom- inent in the settlement of Taunton, Massachusetts. Savage (vol. iii., p. 142) says he was in 1643 lieutenant in King Philip's War, and representative in 1672 and for six years; also among the in- habitants of Taunton in 1668 there was a Samuel Macy, who is supposed to have been a son of George and to have died single prior to the death of his father; of this Taunton family there ia no further record, nor of any others of the name excepting Thomas and his descendants. The only reasons for supposing George Macy was of the same family as Thomas are the name and the date of his emigration to America. The name Macy signifies mace or staff. CHAPTEK III. EDWAKD STAEBUCK. Edwaed Staebuck was born in 1604, and came from Derbyshire, England, to Dover, New Hampshire, with his wife, Katharine * (Reynolds), of Wales, about 1635. " He is first mentioned as receiving 1643 a grant of forty acres of land on each side of the Fresh River at Cutchechoe . . . and also one platt of Marsh above Cntchechoe great Marsh, that the brook that runs out of the river runs through, first discovered by Richard Walderne, Edward Colcord, Edward Starbuck, and William Furber. " He had other grants at different times, one of Marsh in Great Bay in 1643, one of the Mill privilege at Cutchechoe 2nd Ealls (with Thomas Wiggins) and one of timber to ' accommodate ' in 1650 and various others. " Indeed Edward owned considerable land and was evidently a man of substance as to possessions as tradi- tion says he was in body. " He was a representative in 1643 and 1646, was an elder in the church and enjoyed various other tokens of respect given him by his fellow citizens. " In fact he might have lived comfortably at Dover * Some authorities give " Eunice." 20 JEarly Settlers of Nantucket. and died in the midst of his family, respected and con- tented but that he embraced Baptist sentiments." * In " Provincial Papers of New Hampshire/' we find the following: "Oct. 18, 1648. — The Court being informed of great misdemeanor Committed by Edward Starbuck of Dover with profession of Anabatism for which he is to be proceeded against at the next Court of Assistants if evidence can be prepared by that time & it being very farre for witnesses to travill to Boston at that season of the year, It is therefore ordered by this Court that the Secretary shall give Commission to Capt. Thomas Wiggan & Mr Edw. Smyth to send for such persons as they shall have notice of which are able to testify in the sd. cause & to take their testimony uppon oath & certifie the same to the secretary so soon as may be, that further proceedings may be therein, if the cause shall so require." It is not to be wondered at that Edward Starbuck was quite ready to leave Dover under existing condi- tions. He was fifty-five years of age Avhen he joined Thomas Macy in his voyage from Salisbury to ISTan- tucket; he spent the winter there and in the spring returned to Dover for his family, who accompanied him to the island excepting his daughters Sarah (Aus- tin) and Abigail (Coffin), who had married and settled in Dover. " Dover lost a good citizen " and IsTantucket gained a much respected one; "he was a leading man on the Island and at one time a Magistrate ; " * he is described as " courageous and persevering." * N. E. Hist, and Gen. Reg., vol. viii., p. 68. Edward Starbuck. 21 In " Landmarks in Ancient Dover " mention is made of Starbuck's Brook in 1701 as a boundary of property which Peter Coffin (son-in-law of Edward Starbuck) conveyed to John Ham. Starbuck's Marsh was granted to Elder Starbuck August 30, 1643, and Starbuck's Point and Marsh, now called Fabyan's Point, were granted to Edward Starbuck in 1643, and are again mentioned in 1662, 1702, and 1716 in conveyance of property, since Avhich time the usual desire to change ancient names has destroyed what might be valuable historical landmarks. One son only lived to perpetuate the name, — ISTa- thaniel, who married Mary (daughter of Tristram CofSn), the ancestor of all American Starbucks. Edward Starbuck died in 1690. Other children of Edward Starbuck and Katharine Reynolds were: Jethro, who died at the age of twelve. Sarah, who married, first, William Story; second, Joseph Austin; third, Humphrey Varney (as second wife). Dorcas, who married William Gayer. Abigail, who married Peter Coffin. Esther, who married Humphrey Varney (as first wife). The original of the following conveyance of property from Edward Starbuck to his son, ISTathaniel Starbuck, is in the rooms of the Historical Society of Nantucket : " To all Chriftian peopole to whome this writing fhall Come, I, Edward ftarbuck, fend gretting.

Nathaniel Starbuck was a wealthy man for his times, and the supposition * is that he had given bonds for his father in some business transaction, and that this bill of sale was given as security. Miss Susan E. Brock, curator of the Nantucket His- torical Society, says there is scarcely a doubt that the deed in their possession is an original paper, and in reference to it she quotes from Mr. Henry Worth as follows: '' Mr. Worth has examined it, and assures me that it is authentic without a doubt. He knew and recognized all the signatures, and said it would be im- possible for them to be copied so perfectly as to deceive anyone who was familiar with them, especially that of Edward Starbuck himself." * Edward Starbuck's daughters were well married and comfortably settled, and it is not improbable that he made the above-named conveyance in pursuance of the old English plan of conveying all property to the eldest son, to him who would per- petuate the name. Note. — The name Starbuck is from the Norse, and signifies great or grand. CHAPTEK IV. TKISTEAM COFFIN. So MUCH information concerning Tristram Coffin has been developed and published in connection mth the Coffin Reunion at jSTantucket in 1881, that a very brief sketch is sufficient here. He was so important in the early history of the set- tlement that at the risk of repeating much that has already been ^^Titten, some notice of him and his inter- esting family will not be out of place. Tristram Coffin, the founder of the family line of Coffins in America, signed his name " Coffyn." He was born in Brixton, Devonshire, England, in 1605. He married Dionis Stevens, daughter of Robert Stevens, of Brixton. In 1642 he came to America with his family and his widowed mother Joan, and resided first at IsTewbury, later at Haverhill and Salisbury, until 1660, when he settled at Nantucket. The first of the name of whom there is any record is Sir Richard Coffin, who removed from ISTormandy to Note. — Coffin is a word of Hebrew origin signifying a small basket. In the ' ' Century Dictionary ' ' may be found various meanings for the word, but in most cases it represents a receptacle of some kind. In Wyclif s translation of the Bible, Mark 6 : 43, may be found : "And thei token the relifs of broken metis twelve coffinsful and of the fisches." A-...AV.rA PortledgCy The Coffin Manor House. F.-ngland. Tristram Coffin. 25 England in 1066; he entered the English army, had lands granted to him, and was knighted by the king. Erom Prince's " Worthies of Devonshire " we learn that " the Ancient family of the name settled at Port- ledge by the seaside in the Parish of Alwington five miles from Biddeford and flourished there from the Conquest, and that from the time of King Henry the First unto the age of King Edward the Second " for two hundred years each successive heir of this family bore the name of Richard. Within a short distance of Fallaise, a town of ISTor- mandy, stands the old chateau of Cortiton, once the home of the Norman Coffins. The last Miss Cofiin married a Le Clerc late in the eighteenth century, since which time the Le Clerc family has occupied the ISTorman estates. When last visited, the chateau, though ancient, was in good repair. Members of the family are mentioned in history often associated with royalty from 1066 to the latter part of the sixteenth century, since which time the lines of descent are complete. Tristram lived at Northam,* near Capaum Pond, l^antucket, and died Tenth month 2d, 1681, aged seventy-six years. He was the first chief magistrate of N^antucket. The Coffin also appears to have been at one time synonymous with coffer; there are occasional records where the cofferer was a treasurer, an official servant in charge of a receptacle in which valuables and money were placed for transportation from place to place. In Bowditch's " Suffolk Surnames " the name Tristram is epoken of as having been a surname. * Northam was the first name of Dover, New Hampshire. 26 Early Settlers of Nantucket. f oUomng is a copy of his commission, taken from Mr. F.

The following is a list of children of Tristram Coffin: Hon. Petek Coffin was born in England in 1631; he married Abigail Starbuck, daughter of Edward and Katharine Starbuck, of Dover, New Hampshire. He was one of the original purchasers of Nantucket, but resided there for a short time only. He was made a freeman in 1666 at Dover. In 1675 he was a lieutenant on service in King Philip's War. In 1672-73 and again in 1679 he was a representative in the legislative branch. In 1690 he removed to Exeter, New Hampshire. From 1692 to 1714 he was at different times associate justice and 28 Early Settlers of Nantucket. chief justice of the Supreme Court of New Hamp- shire, and a member of the Governor's Council He died at Exeter, March 21, 1Y15. Tristkam Coffin, Jr., was born in England in 1632. He married in Newbury, Massachusetts, March 2, 1652, Judith Somerby, widow of Henry Somerby and daughter of Edmund and Sarah Greenleaf. He was made freeman April 29, 1668, and died in Newbury, Eebruary -1, 1704, aged seventy-two. He was a mer- chant tailor and filled many positions of trust. He lived in the Coffin mansion in Newbury, which still continues in the family; whether he or his wife's former husband built it is uncertain. It is said that Tristram Coffin, Sr., lived in this old mansion before he removed to Nantucket. Elizabeth Coffin was born in England about 1634- 35; and married in Newbury, November 13, 1651, Cap- tain Stephen Greenleaf, son of Edmund Greenleaf; she died at Newbury, November 19, 1678. James Coffin was born in England, August 12, 1640. He married, December 3, 1663, Mary, daughter of John and Abigail Severance, of Salisbury, Massa- chusetts, and died at Nantucket, July 28, 1720, aged eighty years. He was one of the associate proprietors, and filled several important offices at Nantucket, among them judge of Probate Court, and is said to have been the first judge of probate on the island, appointed in 1680.* * Massachusetts Civil List, pp. 112-114.

Mary Coffin, seventh child of Tristram Coffin, Sr., was born in Haverhill, February 20, 1645. She was married in 1662, at the age of seventeen, to Nathaniel, son of Edward and Katharine (Reynolds) Starbuck. The first book of births, marriages, and deaths for the town of Sherburne (page 11) says " Mary Starbuck departed this Liffe y" 13 day of y'^O^l'TlT in y^ 74 year of her age and was decently buried in Friends burying ground." Her husband, Nathaniel Starbuck, Sr., died in 1719. She was a remarkable woman, anticipating by two centuries the advanced views of women of to-day. She took an active part in town debates, usually opening her remarks with " My husband and I, having consid- ered the subject, think, etc." In 1701, at the age of fifty-six, she became interested in the religious faith of the Friends, and held meetings ■at her house. She was a minister in the Society, as were also several of her children, her grandsons Elihu and Nathaniel Coleman, and her granddaughter Pris- cilla Bunker. Elihu Coleman published one of the earliest protests against slavery in New England. Mary Starbuck was " as distinguished in her domestic economy as she was celebrated as a preacher." The following copy of a letter from Mary Starbuck to her granddaughter Eliza Gorham, who had suffered loss by fire, gives evidence of her interest in domestic matters. 30 Early Settlers of Nantucket.

" There is likewise sent from our women's meeting £7 which thy uncle Jethro said he would give an order for, for thee to take to Boston. '' Sister James told me she intended to send thee two bushels of corn and some wool and likewise that Jus- tice Worth said he would send thee some corn. " More meat and corn will be sent v/hich -wdll be in greater quantities, which thy uncle Jethro Starbuck will give thee an acct. of or to thy husband. " I should have been glad if he had come over with Steward, but I hope we shall see him this summer, if not both of you. " So with my kind love to thee and thy husband, children and to all our frds. committing you to the pro- Tristram Coffin. 31 tection of tlie Almighty who is the wise disposer of all things and remain thy affectionate Grandmother " Mary Starbuck. " Thy Grandfather's love to you all and Uncle Bar- nabas's, Susanna is well and her love to you also." !N^athaniel Starbuck was by no means a man of small ability, but his wife seems to have taken the lead in most matters. Lieutenant John Coffin was born at Haverhill, October 30, 1647; he married Deborah, daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Starbuck) Austin. After his father's death he removed to Martha's Vineyard, and died there September 5, 1711. Authority for his commission as lieutenant of militia will be found in Part First of Vol. XXXIV., and on page 21 of the Xew York Colonial Manuscripts in the custody of the Regents of the University in the State Library at Albany, and recorded by the Secretary of the Province of ISTew York among memoranda of sev- eral military commissions, directed by Governor Thomas Dongan to be issued, and reads thus: " Mr. John Coffin a Commission to be Lieu, of said Company at ]^antucket June 5*^ 1684 all the first forme." Stephen Coffin was born at ISTewbury, May 10, 1652. He married Mary, daughter of George and Jane 32 Early Settlers of Nantucket. (Godfrey) Bunker, about 1668, and died at Nantucket November 14, 1734. He remained upon his father's estate, and to him ■was given the management of his father's business, on agreement " to be helpful to his parents in their old age." It is not surprising that the descendants of Tristram Coffin still bearing the name are so numerous when we find that of his nine children five out of the seven who married were sons; that Peter had nine children, that Tristram, Jr., had ten children and left one hun- dred and seventy-seven descendants, that James had fourteen children, that Lieutenant John had eleven children, and that Stephen had ten. The two daughters, Mary Starbuck and Elizabeth Greenleaf, each had ten cliildren, adding in two cen- turies many more descendants to the list, although not of the name. The Nantucket Inquirer of July 22, 1826, says, ' ' The House * in which Tristram Coffin resided is still standing, and has been the residence of seven genera- tions of the same name. " The names of more than twelve thousand descend- ants of Tristram Coffin can be ascertained, some of whom are found in England, in all the British Domin- ions and in every state in the Union." * At Newbury.

The following facts have been abridged from an ac- count published in the Boston Herald within a few years. On the easterly side of Harrison Avenue just above Kneeland Street, Boston, a trifle back from the avenue, stands a ganibrel-roof wooden structure. This build- ing was moved from its original site, corner of Beach Street and Oxford Place, to its present location nearly half a century ago. It was the residence of JSTathaniel Coffin, one of the foremost adherents of King George, who at one time held the responsible position of col- lector of his Majesty's customs for the port of Boston. The house must have been built as early as 1750, and it was, on May 16, 1759, the birthplace of Isaac Coffin, who afterwards rose to be an admiral in the British navy. In the same house was born his brother John, who became major-general in the British army. Sir Isaac retained an affection for the place of his birth, and coming from JSTantucket stock he invested in 1827 the sum of £2500 in English funds for the es- tablishment of a school on that island to be known as the " Coffin School." Drake, in his " Old Landmarks of Boston," says that of this fund " the Mayor and Aldermen of Boston were made trustees for the distribution of the annual inter- 42 Early Settlers of Nantucket. est among five of the most deserving boys and as many girls of that school." King George III., with whom Sir Isaac was a great favorite, gave him a grant of the Island of Magdalen in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and in after years it was proposed to create him Earl of Magdalen; this propo- sition fell through, and the alleged reason was, that in establishing the Coffin School in ^STantncket he was creating sailors who in mature age might fight against the crown. At the present time the old house in Boston is used for manufacturing purposes. Sir Isaac Coffin was the fifth generation in descent from Tristram, Sr., his father being Nathaniel, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Barnes, of Boston. Nathaniel * was the son of William, who was the son of Nathaniel, who was the son of James, who was the son of Tristram Coffin, Sr. The following extracts from an English biographical work on the life of Admiral Coffin are abridged from manuscript of the late Mr. George Howland Folger. This manuscript is now the property of the Historical Society of Nantucket. Sir Isaac entered the navy in 1Y73, under the patron- age of Admiral John Montague; he served as midship- man on board several ships, and in 1778 obtained a lieutenancy. In July, 1781, he was promoted to the rank of comjnander, and was in the " splendid battle " of April 12, 1782, which resulted in the capture of the * N. E. Hist, and Gen. Eeg., Vol. xxiv., p. 306, says Nathaniel Coffin (son of William) graduated from Harvard College in 1744, died in New York in 1780. Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, Baronet. 43 celebrated Comte de Grasse. In 1795, as commission- er, be resided in Corsica, wbere be remained until tbe evacuation of tbe island in 1796; bere be twice narrow- ly escaped assassination. After passing tbrougb vari- ous fortunes of war, be was, in 1804, made rear-admi- ral. Soon after tbis be was raised to the dignity of baronet. In 1808 be was promoted to tbe position of vice-admiral, and in 1814 became full admiral, and in the general election in 1818 was chosen as representa- tive to Parliament for the borough of Ilchester. He married, in 1811, at the age of jfifty-two, Eliza- beth Brown Greenly, only daughter of T. Greenly, Esq. There were no children. He crossed tbe Atlantic not less than thirty-one times, a circumstance more remarkable in tbe early part of the century than at present. Tbe following incident in his life, related by a rela- tive, is somewhat amusing when told of one valiant in arms : " Somewhere about 1824 the Admiral was in Phila- delphia at tlie residence of bis kinswoman, Anna (Fol- ger) Coffin, widow of Thomas Coffin. To the company gathered to meet him be told that, being in command of a ship or fleet in tbe Pacific, an American whaler was spoken. Tbe Admiral was curious to see the tak- ing of a whale, and accordingly went on board the American vessel. Soon a whale was sighted; a boat was lowered, and tbe Admiral took bis seat with tbe crew; tbe harpoon was thrown, and then came tbe rush of tbe boat tbrougb the water, which was walled on each side. "'Cut tbe rope!' cried the Admiral. ' Xo, no;' 44 Early Settlers of Nantucket. was the reply of the leader of the crew ; ' you are not in command of this craft.' " So Sir Isaac had to summon up what •nerve he could and await his fate; he closed his story by saying he would infinitely rather have been at close quarters with a French seventy-four." In the Nantucket Inquirer of September 2, 1826, may be found the following, copied from a Boston paper: " According to previous appointment, the annual vis- itation of the public schools was attended on Wednes- day last by the parents and friends of the pupils, and by several strangers of distinction. Admiral Coffin gave as a sentiment, ' The City of Boston.' " He was replied to by one of the committee: " ' Our venerable and respected guest. Admiral Cof- fin, a native of our city and an alumnus of our ancient Latin school, who, though separated from us, in times of political dissension was generous and kind to his countrymen, M^ho, amidst the honors and plaudits of a princely court, remembered ^vith affection the land of his birth, and still bears testimony to the excellence of our civil and literary institutions. " ' May honorable fame ever attend him, and may his declining years repose in health and peace.' " September 9, 1826. — " Honorary degree of M.A. was conferred on Admiral Sir Isaac Coflin at the annual commencement of Harvard Hniversity.'' In the l^antucket Inquirer of date September 16, 1826, there is a notice of a \\s\i of Sir Isaac Coffin to !N'an tucket, during which he spoke with affection of his native city, and attributed " all his attainments and re- Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, Baronet. 45 nown to principles of knowledge imbibed in the public schools of Boston." During his stay on the island he " visited principal places of resort, disregarded all court etiquette, and mingled freely with the inhabitants." He died at Cheltenham, England, in 1839, aged eighty years. CHAPTER VI. STEPHEN GEEENLEAF, WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF HIS FATHEK, EDMUND GREENLEAF. The Greenleaf family is supposed to have been of Huguenot origin; Edmund, the first of the name who came to America, was born * in the Parish of Brixham. He married Sarali Dole, and, with several children, was among the early settlers of " Newbury, or New- berry, now Newburyport.'' " Ould Newberry " was incorporated in 1635. In a list of first settlers to whom was granted " a house lot of at least four acres, with a suitable quantity of salt and fresh meadow," is found the name of Edmund Greenleaf.f Edmund Greenleaf was ordered to be ensign for Newbury in June, 1639. f Erom Colonial Eecords we learn that he was later made lieutenant, and removed to Boston. Captain Johnson styles Edmund Greenleaf " an an- cient and experienced lieutenant under Captain Ger- rish in 1644." The following is an extract from his will: "... my will is being according to God's will and re- * Hoyt says, page 183 : " The Greenleaf genealogy gives bap- tism of Edmund Greenleaf January 2, 1574. This would make him ninety-seven years of age when he died. Another authority gives, Edmund, born 1590." t James Edward Greenleaf s " Greenleaf Family." Stephen Greenleaf. 47 vealed in his word, that wee must pay what we owe and live of the rest, unto whose rule the sons of men ought to frame their wills and actions therefore." This to show his correct principles. Another extract may be given, showing how absolute he considered his power over his wife, who evidently had a will of her own: "... Besides when I married my wife she brought me a silver bowl, a silver porringer, a silver spoon, she lent or gave tliem to her son-in-law, James Hill, with- out my consent." This will is dated December 25, 1668. Stephen Greenleaf, son of Edmund, was born about 1628, and married, first: November 13, 1651, Elizabeth Cofiin, daughter of Tristram Coifin and Dionis Stevens; second: In 1679, Esther (Weare) Swett, widow of Cap- tain Benjamin Swett, and daughter of JSTathaniel Weare or Wire (early in I^ewbury, afterward of Nantucket, where he died March 1, 1681). Stephen Greenleaf was one of the original proprie- tors of Nantucket, and, authority says, a religious man. In " Greenleaf Family " we find the first mention of Stephen Greenleaf as ensign. May 11, 1670. August 5, 1675, with others, he marched against the Indians in response to a call to the colonies from Swanzy, where shortly after " nine Indians were murdered," this be- ing the first blood shed in King Philip's War. In 1676 Stephen Greenleaf, with five others, was elected selectman, and in the same year was representa- tive to the General Court. In 1680 the " Town granted ensign Stephen Green- leaf permission to build a wharf." 48 Early Settlers of Nantucket. He was ensign in 1686 and captain in 1690. At a court held at Newbury in 1686, March 30, " David Pierce, Captain Thomas N^oyes and Lieutenant Stephen Greenleaf are commissioned to be Magistrates by the Court." " In the same year Lieutenant Stephen Greenleaf and Lieutenant Tristram Coffin, with others, are ap- pointed a committee on laying out and dividing wood- lands." ITovember 21, 1686, " deacon Nicholas Noyes, dea- con Robert Long and deacon Tristram Coffin were, at the request of the selectmen, chosen standing overseers of the poore for the town of Newbury." December 1, " Captain Daniel Pierce and Captain Stephen Greenleaf were added to the deacons as over- seers of the poore," and any three of them had power to act. May 6, 1689, " The Committee of Safety in Boston having desired us to send a man or men for consulting with them what may be best for the conservation of the peace of the country. Our inhabitants being met this 6*^ day of May, 1689, have chosen Captain Thomas Noyes and lieutenant Stephen Greenleaf sen. for the end aforesaid." 1690, Stephen Greenleaf, with nine others, was wrecked and drowned off Cape Breton. A military spirit appears to have been transmitted to the third generation, the following story having been told of Stephen Greenleaf, Jr.: March 5, 1696, Captain Greenleaf petitions the Gen- eral Court for compensation for repulsing an Indian raid, in which he was wounded in his side and wrist. Stephen Greenleaf. 49 His petition was read and forty pounds voted to be paid him out of the treasury of the province. The house attacked by the Indians was John Brown's, and the following is the family tradition re- specting it: " The Indians had secreted themselves for sometime near the house, waiting for the absence of the male members of the family, who about three o'clock de- parted with a load of turnips. The Indians then rushed from their concealment, tomahawked a girl who was standing at the front door; another girl who had con- cealed herseK as long as the Indians remained, imme- diately after their departure gave the alarm." The coat which Captain Greenleaf wore in his pur- suit of the Indians is still preserved by his descendants, together with the bullet which was extracted from his wound. Note. — State Street in Newbury (now Newburyport) was for- merly Greenleaf's Lane. CHAPTER Vn. CHRISTOPHEK HUSSEY. Christopher Hussey was baptized in Dorking, Sur- rey, England, and was son of John Hussey and Mary Wood. This has been a tradition in the family, and is con- firmed by the follomng extract from a letter written in 1880 by a New Bedford member of the Hussey fam- ily: " I forgot to tell you about my visit to Dorking, where I went before leaving England. It is twenty- six miles from London, but took me an hour and a half by rail, but through a lovely country. " It is a beautiful old town. They say the country about there is considered among the most picturesque in England. " I went to the parish clerk ; he had gone out, and his sister thought perhaps the vicar might know the book. So I went there and was shown into his study, a lovely old house and a very pretty room in summer, but a fire-place too small to half warm it. " The vicar was a wonderfully handsome and gentle- manly person, who offered to do all he could for me, but said the clerk had the book. I at last found him, and we looked over it together. " As I knew the exact date of Christopher's birth, it did not take long, although the writing was the same Christopher Hussey. 51 queer German text baud we saw at Hampton, which seemed to be the style then; but, strange to say, the book itself looked a hundred years younger than that, it had been kept so much more carefully, and was of parchment. " We found Christopher, son of John Hussey, was baptized 18th of February, 1599, and, looking back a few years, found John Hussey and Marie (Moor or Wood) (I could not make out which) were married De- cember 5th, 1593. Then John, son of John, baptized April 29th, 1594, and died I^ovember 8th, 1597. There is no other mention of any one of the name of Hussey that we could find in the book, and no person of that name is living there or has been known to live there. The vicar told me it was a Berkshire name, and John Hussey probably came there from some other place; and, as there seem to have been no other chil- dren that lived, no one of the name remains there. . . . All the English say it is not at all a common name; an ' old family ' — but what family is not old ? " Note. — John Evelyn makes several interesting entries in his diary concerning the Hussey family, and, although his allusions to them are thirty-eight years after Christopher Hussey came to America, the fact that the shire named by Evelyn is the same in which John Hussey's family lived is significant. September 17, 1670, Evelyn says : " To visit Mr. Hussey, who, being near Wotton, lives in a sweet valley, deliciously watered." Again, 30th of August, 1G81: "From Wotton I went to see Mr. Hussey (at Sutton in Shere), who has a very pretty seat, well watered, near my brother's. " He is the neatest husband for curiously ordering his domestic and field accommodations, and what pertains to husbandry, that I have ever seen, as to his granaries, tackling tools, and utensils, ploughs, carts, stables, wood piles, wood house, even to hen roosts and hog troughs. 63 Early Settlers of Nantucket. When a young man Christopher Hussej spent some time in Holland, where he solicited in marriage The- odate, daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachelor, who gave his consent to their union on condition that they would come to America wdth him ; this condition was complied Avith, and they arrived in Boston in 1632 on the ship "William and Francis or William Francis. The fact that his eldest son Stephen Hussey was born in Lynn, and was the first child christened by Stephen Bachelor after the founding of the church, indicates that Christopher lived in Lynn with his father-in-law. He was an early settler of the town of !N"ewbury, and in 1636 was "chosen by papers" as one of the " seven men," as they were first called, then " townesmen," then " townesmen select," and finally " select men " as at present. " They were fully empowered of themselves to do what the tov^m had power to do, the reason whereof was the town judged it inconvenient and burdensome to be called together upon every occasion." In 1638 he, with his father-in-law, Eev. Stephen " Methought I saw old. Cato or Varro in him, all substantial, all in exact order." June loth, 1685 : " Mr. Hussey,* a young gentleman who made love to my late dear child, but whom she could not bring her- self to answer in affection, died of the same cruel disease,t for which 1 am extremely sorry, because he never enjoyed himself after my daughter's decease, nor was I averse to the match, could she have overcome her disinclination." February, 1695: "Our neighbor, Mr. Hussey, married a daugh- ter of my cousin, George Evelyn, of Nutfield." * Son of Peter Hussey, of Sutton in Shere, Surrey. •{• Small-pox. Christopher Hussey. 53 Bachelor, and others, settled the town of Hampton, JSTew Hampshire, and in 1639 he was made Justice of the Peace, which office he held several years; he was also town clerk and one of the first deacons of the church. In 1659 he became one of the purchasers of Nan- tucket; subsequently he was a sea-captain. Orders were received from the king, September 18, 1679, " to erect Xew Hampshire into a separate gov- ernment," under jurisdiction of a president and council to be appointed by himself; John Cutts was appointed president and Christopher Hussey, of Hampton, one of six councillors. There are several theories concerning the death of Christopher Hussey. The fact that he followed the sea may have given rise to a belief that he was drowned at sea or eaten by cannibals. Joshua Coffin, however, says that he died at Hampton, 'New Hampshire, March 6, 1686, and Austin, in " One Hundred and Sixty Al- lied Families," states that " Town records of Hampton declare he was buried there March 8, 1686." He had two sons and three daughters : Stephen, married Martha Bunker. John, married Rebecca Perkins. Hulda, married John Smith and lived to be ninety- seven years old. Mary. Theodata. His eldest son, Stephen, came to Nantucket and mar- ried Martha Bunker, October 8, 1676. He had lived at Barbadoes, had considerable property, and was a Friend before a Society was formed upon the island. 54 Early Settlers of Nantucket. He was at one time representative to the General Court. He died February 2, 1718, in his eighty-eighth year, and was buried in Friends' first burial ground at ISTan- tucket. His children were Puella, Abigail, Sylvanus, Bachiller, Daniel, George, and Theodata. John Hussey, second son of Christopher Hussey, was appointed member of Assembly before he removed from Hampton, Xew Hampshire, to Delaware in 1688, but, being unwilling to take oath, did not serve. After his removal to Delaware he was appointed member of the Pennsylvania Assembly to represent New Castle County, at that time one of the " three lower counties of Penn," and as Pennsylvania Quakers were permitted to enter office A\dthout oath, he was duly enrolled in 1696.* Rev. Stephen Bachelor f was born in England in 1561. He was well educated and had received orders in the Established Church, but was not in sympathy with its rites and institutions. His unwillingness to conform to its requirements had resulted in his being deprived of his ecclesiastical commissions. He spent a few years in Holland, but returned to London. In some records we read that " his eldest daughter had emigrated to America and had settled in the new town of Saugus, now Lynn." Here came also Stephen Bachelor on June 5, 1632, and here he es- tablished the first Episcopal Church of Lynn, accord- * Pennsylvania Archives, vol. ix., p. C73. t The name is variously spelled in the old records, and not less variously at the present time by his descendants. Christopher Uussey. 55 ine to his own ideas. Differences occurred from time to time, but finally, when a council of ministers was called, it was decided that, " although the church had not been properly instituted, yet the mutual exercise of their religious duties had supplied the defect." His removal from Lynn was desired by those who dif- fered with him, but where in that day did not religious difference lead to enmity ? On May 6, 1635, he was admitted a freeman and re- moved first to Ipswich, where he received a grant of fifty acres of land and proposed to locate; but he soon left Ipswich, and, wdth some friends, John Wing and others, went to Mattacheese, on Barnstable Bay, now Yarmouth, with a view to establishing a colony there. This enterprise proved impracticable, and he went next to J^ewbury, and on the 6th of July, 1638, received a grant of land from the town. On the 6tli of September the General Court gave him permission to settle a town at Hampton, a few miles from Xewburyport, in IS^ew Hampshire. In 1639 the town of Ipswich offered him sixty acres of upland if he would reside with them. This he de- clined. On the 5th of July he sold his house and lands in [N'ewbury, and, removing to Hampton, settled the to\vn and established a church, of which he became pastor. In 1640 Hampton granted him 300 acres of land, and he gave them " a bell for their meeting-house." In 1647 he was at Portsmouth, where he remained three years. At the age of eighty nine he married unfortunately, 56 Early Settlers of Nantucket. and lived with this third wife a year only. In 1651 he returned to England and there died in his one hun- dredth year at Hackney, near London. Freeman says of him : " From all that we gather out of much tliat was written of him by his contemporaries, we infer that he was learned, and in tlie judgment of charity a good man, but that his whole life was singu- larly complicated with incidents of trial." Rev. Conway Phelps Wing, one of his descendants, from whose account of him much of the above has been gleaned, says: "In estimating his character we must take into consideration the peculiar spirit and agitations of the times, when the boldest innovations in opinion and practice were received on the one side with favor, and on the other, and especially on the side of the rul- ing powers, with intolerance and misrepresentation." Mr. Prince says: " Mr. B. was a man of fame in his day, a gentleman of learning and ingenuity, and wrote a fine and curious hand." His signature and seal appended to letters may be seen in Massachusetts Historical Collection, Vol. VII., fourth series. His children were: Deborah Bachelor, married John Wing. Theodata Bachelor, married Christopher ITussey. Bachelor, married Sanborn. Nathaniel Bachelor, married, 1656, (1) Deborah Smith; (2) Mary Wyman, of Woburn; (3) Elizabeth , and had seventeen children.

Sanborn, LL.D., in his " History of New Hampshire," page 53, says: " The first churches were formed at Hampton and Exeter. Hampton claimes precedence in time. . . . The first pastor of this first- born church of the new State, and the father of the town, was Rev. Stephen Batchelder, an ancestor on the mother's side of Daniel Webster." " Susanna Batchelder, one of the descendants of Stephen's son ISTathaniel, married, July 20th, 1738, Eb- enezer Webster (born at Hampton October 10th, 1711), the grandfather of Daniel Webster." Lewis and ISTew- hall's " History of Lynn," page 141, N. E. Through Governor Winthrop's records, which come down to 1649, we learn that among the party which came with Rev. Stephen Bachelor in the William Fran- cis were John Wing and his wife Deborah (Bachelor) Wing, and Edward Dillingham. " John Wing was the original projenitor of nearly all who now bear the family name in America, so far as they are known to us." * He not only settled at Saugus with Stephen Bache- lor, but left it with him and went to Mattacheese, and though it was not a successful enterprise, he thereby be- came acquainted with the region afterwards called Cape Cod. It could not have been fertility of soil or attractive country that afterwards induced John Wing and others * Rev. Conway Phelps Wing's " John Wing, of Sandwich, and Hia Descendants." 58 Early Settlers of Nantucket. to settle in a locality which without the people who later gave it attraction must have seemed inhospitable indeed. It was within the jurisdiction of the Pl^inouth colony, and the Indians in the vicinity were friendly to the English. In the year 1G37 Mr, Edward Freeman * and nine others who had lived in Saugus formed an association " to erect a plantation or town within the precincts of his Majestys General Court at Plymouth." The point selected was near the neck of land between Barnstable and Buzzard's Bay. On the third day of April, 1637, a patent was grant- ed the original association, giving it the right to form a town. Among the original " Ten Men of Saugus " ap- pear the names of Edward Freeman and Edward Dil- lingham, and as the forty-fifth in the list of their as- sociates, that of John Wing. ^N^early all were accompanied by their families, and strict rules, civil and religious, were laid do^^^l for their government. In 1638 the General Court deputized Mr. A] den and Miles Standish " accurately to define the limits of each man's allotment of land with all convenient speed." In 1639 an act of incorporation was granted, and the Indian name of Sha^vme became Sandwich. Here John Wing and his descendants after him have lived until the present time. John Wing was a quiet man, chiefly interested in his family and his lands, but his name may be found on court records as qualified for public business. * Freeman's History of Cape Cod, vol. ii., pp. 15, 17. Christopher Hussey. 59 From John Wing's son Daniel are descended those who by marriage were associated either with Nantucket or with the progenitors of Nantucket settlers. In Bowden's " History of the Society of Friends in America " we learn that two English Friends named " Christopher Holden and John Copeland came to Sandwich on the 20th of Sixth month, 1657, and had a number of meetings." In 1658 eighteen families in Sandwich recorded their names in one of the documents of the Society of Friends. The Sandwich Monthly Meeting was the first established in America, and its records extend back to 1672, and the Quarterly Meeting, held for many years alternately at New Bedford and Nantucket, was known as the " Sandwich Quarterly Meeting of Friends," hav- ing been an outcome of that organization. The larger number of Friends at both New Bedford and Nantucket was a reasonable cause for changing the place of meeting. CHAPTER VIII. OTHER PROPRIETORS. Recorded details of the remaining proprietors are very brief; concerning some there appears to be little record excepting of their proprietorship. Robert Pike was one of the original settlers of Salis- bury, Massachusetts, and shared the interest of Christo- pher Hussey as a proprietor of Nantucket. He con- tinued his relations with the settlers of the island until his death, which occurred about forty years after the purchase. As has already been stated, he was the warm friend of Thomas Macy. In 1637, on the 17th of May, in order to prevent the reelection of Sir Harry Vane as governor, and to strengthen the friends of Winthrop, ten men, among them Robert Pike and Thomas Coleman, went from IsTewbury to Cambridge on foot (forty miles) and quali- fied themselves to vote by taking the freeman's oath. Winthrop was chosen governor. (IsT. E. Hist, and Gen. Reg.) Robert Pike was representative to the General Court in 1648-49 and 1658-59; captain and major in 1670; an assistant in 1682; and a member of the Council of Safety in 1689. Note. — Davis's History of Bucks County says the Pike family of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is said to descend from Robert Pike, of Massachusetts. Other Proprietors. 61 Thomas Coleman must have removed to ITantiicket prior to 1673, as on " October 20 " of that year he is recorded as " drawn on the jury " there. From a news- paper clipping whose related facts have been deduced from a memorandum book of JSTathaniel Coleman, great- great-great grandson of Thomas Coleman, we learn that Thomas arrived in Boston " June 3, 1635," came to Nantucket in 1680, and died in 1682. Joshua Coffin, in his History of ITewbury (p. 15), names Thomas Coleman among settlers of !Newbury in 1635, and (p. 29) in a list of settlers of Hampton, with Stephen Bachelor, Christopher Hussey and others in 1639. Although these records do not agree, even in facts given by the same authority, each may be entirely cor- rect, as the settlers of Nantucket appear in several in- stances to have gone back and forth before their final settlement, and it is probable that this was the case in other localities. From the same history (p. 298) we learn the follow- ing: Thomas Coleman's first wife Susanna died November 17th, 1650, and in that year he removed to Hampton. He married Mary, widow of Edmund Johnson, July 11th, 1651; his second wife died in Hampton, Jan. 30th, 1663. He married a third time Margery (Ashbourne, say some authorities). Children of Thomas Coleman were: Benjamin Coleman, born May 1st, 1640. Joseph Coleman, born December 2d, 1642. Isaac Coleman, born February 20th, 1647. (From above dates, children of first wife.) fi^UI' 62 Early Settlers of Nantucket. Joanna Coleman. Tobias Coleman, who was son of the third wife. Nathaniel Coleman was the only son of Barnabas Coleman and his first wife Elizabeth (Barnard). Barnabas was son of John 3d, who was son of John 2d, who was son of John 1st, who was son of Thomas Coleman and Susanna . Nathaniel Coleman was Register of Deeds for Nan- tucket from the " 3d of August, 1785, till the 20th of January, 1804." He modestly enters in his memoranda the following record of his re-election : After stating that the number of votes cast was " 373 " " April 18, 1791," he says: " N. C. got 206; W. Folger got 70; S. Starbuck got 7." His father, Barnabas Coleman, married as second wife Rachel Hussey, daughter of Sylvanus, who was son of Stephen, who was son of Christopher Hussey, and another entry among the memoranda of the above- named reads as follows : " Barnabas Coleman and Rachel his wife, the number of their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren in 1796 — chil- dren 13 grand children 113 great grand children 85." Thomas Baenaed, who settled in America about 1650, was one of the purchasers of Nantucket in 1659, and transferred one-half of his interest to his brother, Robert Barnard. In Hoyt's " The Old Families of Salisbury and Ames- bury," page 13, among signatures to " Articles of Agreement Between the Inhabitants of the Old Town other Proprietors. 63 and those of the ISlew Town," May 1, 1654, we find Thomas Barnard, Phillip Challis, Thomas Macy, John Severance and others.

Phillip Challis. Pages 20 and 21: " Jn° Barnard and Tho: Barnard " are named among citizens taking " Oath of Allegiance, Eamsbery," December 20, 16TT. Thomas Barnard is named as one of the " Brethren of Y^ Church." Page 49, Thomas Barnard, or Bar- nett, of Salisbury * and Amesbury, " planter or hus- bandman," born about 1612 (probably a brother of Kobert), received land in the first division, 1640 and 1643, was one of the first settlers of Amesbury, re- ceived land there at various times, and a " township " for one of his sons in 1660. His name appears in nearly all the early lists down to 1672. He married Helen or Eleanor . The only explanation for the statement in an old record that Thomas Barnard " died abroad " lies in the fact that among old-fashioned people of j^antucket go- " Hoy t says ; " The plantation was first named Colchester, Sep- tember 4, 1839, changed to Salisbury October 7, 1640."

Salisbury seems to have had about twice as many inhabitants as Amesbury soon after the formal separation. On Amesbury Eecords we find, dated March 19, 1054-5, in a list of the " present inhabitance and com- enors heare in the new towne," Thomas Barnard and others. 64 Early Settlers of Nantucket. ing out to an afternoon tea was " going abroad." Usu- ally anywhere away from the island was " off " or " off island." This particular recorder certainly meant "off island " when he wrote " Thomas died abroad," as the records of Salisbury say he was killed by Indians about 1677. His widow, Eleanor Barnard, administered on his estate. When it was settled, in 1679, there were nine children. (It is believed that some of these were chil- dren-in-law.) In a list of inhabitants applying for " Amesbury Meeting House seats," July, 1667, is found the name of " Goodwife Barnard." Eleanor Barnard, widow of Thomas, married, July 19th, 1681, George Little, of i^ewbury. She died ^o- vember 27th, 1694. E-OBEKT Barnard, " husbandman," of Salisbury and Andover, removed to N'antucket in 1663, and died there in 1682. He married Joanna Harvey,* who died in 1705. He had a son, John Barnard, born 1642, who married Bethiah Folger, daughter of Peter Folger, and a daughter, Mary Barnard, who married her cousin, ISTathaniel Barnard, son of Thomas and Eleanor Barnard. Hoyt says : " Letters of administration on the estate of Robert Barnard, Senior, late of Andover, Yoeman, who died intestate, were granted to his grandson, Rob- ert Barnard, Eebruary 1st, 1714-15. Stephen Barnard, son of the elder Robert Barnard, signed a statement * Some authorities say daughter of Harvey, of Plymouth Colony. Other Proprietors. 65 that he was incapable of acting by reason of age, and asking that his son Eobert be appointed. James Bridges and Stephen Barnard were witnesses." This administration was more than thirty years after the death of the intestate, and as a lawsuit with the State is mentioned in connection with the appointment of the administrator, it is probable that it was due to some claim made in behalf of the State. Nathaniel Barnard, in his will, refers to " my father- in-law Eobert Barnard," which leaves no doubt of the fact that Mary Barnard, daughter of Eobert, was at one time his wife. As he names no wife in said will it is a natural con- clusion that he outlived her. EiCHARD Swain (Eowley, 1639) came to America in the Truelove 1635, aged thirty-four, settled at Hamp- ton, and married, in 1658, Jane Godfrey Bunker, widow of George Bunker, of Ipswich. They removed to ITan- tucket. While living at Hampton he was " Selectman and Commissioner for Small Causes." In 1639 he had liberty to " settle small claims." The children of Eichard Swain were: Francis, who married Martha . William, of Hampton, N. H., who married Pru- dence Marston. Note.— Nathaniel Barnard, son of Thomas, is by some said to have married Mary, daughter of John Lugg, but Savage says, vol. i., page 120: "High Nantucket authority claims that he came from England in 1650 with his uncle, Robert Barnard, whose daughter Mary he married." It is not impossible that he had two wives. Mary Barnard appears, from Nantucket records, to have been the mother of his children. 6G Early Settlers of Nantucket.

John Swain (the proprietor), son of Richard Swain, Sr., has left a record in his house, known as the oldest house on the island, which is still standing, although much out of repair. John Swain's wife, Mary Wier or Weare, was daughter of N^athaniel Weare (Savage, Vol. IV., p. 234). John Swain died in 1Y17. This family were members of the Society of Friends at a very early date. * Nathaniel Weare, Newbury, son, perhaps, of Peter, ot the same, born in England about 1631, . . . became coun- sellor of N.

" In early years in this country were persons spelling their name Weare, Weir, Weyer, Wier, Wire, Wyer, all probably in- tending the same name, and many, if not all, possibly belonging to one family.

Benjamin Teanklin, in his genealogical notes, infers that the Folger family was of Flemish origin, and went to England in the time of Queen Elizabeth. Peter Folger, son of John Folger, was bom in 1617, and came from JSTorwich, England, in 1635. He went with his father to Martha's Vineyard, where he taught a school and surveyed land; he also assisted Thomas Mayhew, Jr., in his labors as a mission- ary among the Indians. He was a Baptist, but it is believed that when an old man he embraced the views of Friends. Although he was not one of the first proprietors of Nantucket, he may be regarded as a very early settler, having removed to the island in 1663. " N"antucket, 4*^ July, 1663.

Cotton Mather describes Peter Polger as an " Able Godley Englishman who was employed in teaching the youth in Reading, Writing and the Principles of Re- ligion by Catechism, being well-learned likewise in the Scriptures and Capable of Help in religious matters." At Nantucket he was chosen clerk of the court and recorder July 21, 1673; he also surveyed lands for the settlers, and was regarded as the scholar of the com- munity. The varied employments of Peter Folger prove him to have been as versatile as industrious; to him, at least, " the knowing Folgers lazy " could not have been ap- plied; and if there was ever any foundation in fact for the character which the little Nantucket rhvme has ■5©- '0^- Mrs. E. D: Gillespie. Feier Folyer. 69 fastened upon this family, it must have been earned by; a later representative of the name. His mantle fell upon some of his descendants, and he bequeathed to them' decided ability. " His son Eleazer, and Eleazer, Jr., were intelligent, literary and mathematical." Peter Folger died in 1690; Mary, his widow, in 1704. Abiah Folger, the youngest child of Peter Folger, and the only one born on IvTantucket, married Josiah Franklin, of Boston. Benjamin Franklin, son of Josiah and Abiah (Fol- ger) Franklin, married Deborah Read, of Philadelphia. Richard Bache, born in England, in 1737, immi- grated to the United States, where he married, in 1767, Sarah, only daughter of Benjamin and Deborah (Read) Franklin. Richard Bache was Postmaster-General of the United States in 1776. Richard Bache's marriage with Sarah, daughter of Benjamin Franklin, continues the Folger family line in Philadelphia, Mrs. E. D. Gillespie, of Philadelphia, being a granddaughter of Richard Bache.* This branch of Peter Folger's family has made its mark in many lines of work; there have been among the generations which have succeeded the great philosopher men who have reached distinction in the army and navy, as men of letters, at the bar, and in the service of the church, and women w^ho in patriotic and educational work have proved the ability transmitted to them from their ven- erable ancestor. * Other descendants in this line intermarried with Irwin, Hodge, Humphrey, Davis, Pepper, and Perry (of the family of Commo- dore Perry). 70 Early Settlers of Nantucket. It is gratifying to note in the autobiography of Franklin that he was deeply interested in his ancestors, nor did he consider time lost when in England he made an effort to ascertain from records there the past his- tory of his family. That he did not lose sight of the fact that ISTan- tucket contributed a very considerable factor to his an- cestry is evidenced by his interest in the place and its people. One of Franklin's biographers says: " He took much pains to collect information about the Gulf Stream. " This wonderful river in the ocean has been long known, but the first people to observe it closely were the Kantucket whalemen, who found that their game was numerous on the edges of it, but was never seen within its warm waters. " In consequence of their more exact knowledge they were able to make faster voyages than other seamen. Franklin learned about it from them, and on his numer- ous voyages made many observations, which he care- fully recorded. " He obtained a map of it from one of the whalemen, which he caused to be engraved for the general benefit of navigation on the old London chart, then univer- sally used by sailors." This account is confirmed by Franklin's notes, in which he states that the Nantucket whalemen were ex- tremely well acquainted with the " Gulph Stream " '' from their island quite down to the Bahamas," and he further says that from Captain Folger he obtained a copy of the sketch or draft used by Nantucket whale- Peter Folger. 71 men, and caused it to be engraved on the London chart. Alexander Starbuck, in his " History of the Ameri- can Whalefishery," says, " it is substantially the same as is found on charts of the present day." Walter Folger, another descendant of Peter Fol- ger, was the son of Walter and Elizabeth (Starbuck) Folger. Elizabeth was daughter of Thomas Starbuck. Walter Folger first was son of Barzillai and Phebe (Coleman) Folger. Barzillai was son of Nathan, who was son of Eleazer and Sarah (Gardner) Folger, and Eleazer was son of Peter Folger. Walter Folger second practiced law for twenty years, and was for six years judge of the Court of Common Pleas, during which time no case decided by him was ever carried to a higher court; he was six years in the Massachusetts Senate, one year in the House of Repre- sentatives of Massachusetts, and four years in the Con- gress of the United States; in addition to this he was one of the best mathematicians and mechanics of his day. He has left as a record of his mechanical skill a remarkable clock, still in the possession of his family. He commenced work upon this clock at the age of twenty-two, and, devoting to it his leisure hours only, completed it in the course of the second year. It was put in motion July 4, 1790, and in 1901, though brown with age, is still a good time-keeper; the glass only which covered its face has been renewed. William C. Folger says, " He made not only the works but the case also, I am told." 72 Early Settlers of Nantuclcet. " It is made of brass and steel. It keeps the date of the year and the day of the month; the sun and moon rise and set in accordance with those in the heavens; it also shows the earth's place on the ecliptic; it keeps the moon's nodes around the ecliptic; the wheel that keeps the date of the year revolves once in one hundred years, remaining still ten years, and at the expiration of each ten years it starts regularly one notch; the diurnal motion of the sun is represented by a circular metallic plate so adjusted that it is seen through a slit in the dial-plate at a greater or less meridian altitude, as the declination changes, rising and setting as in na- ture, and changing the time in conformity to the lati- tude, . . . giving also through the entire day the time of his rising and setting and place of the earth on the ecliptic; the moon is represented by a spherule exhib- ited to the eye in the same manner, but by having one hemisphere colored, and, by a process much more com- plicated, shows not only the rising, setting, and south- ing of the moon with the time of full sea at ISTantucket, but also the chief phenomena dependent on the ob- liquity of the moon's path to the ecliptic, such as the hunter's and harvest moons. " Some of these involve a motion of the works through a period of eighteen years and two hundred and twenty-five days, and the wheel by which the date of the year is advertised is so constructed that its revo- lution is only completed in one hundred years." Walter Folger never learned a trade, never studied law with a law;y'er, nor went to any institution of learn- ing where anything above the alphabet, spelling, read- ing in the Bible, arithmetic, and surve'^ang were taught. Birthplace of Maria Mitchell, Vestal Street, Nantidcket. Peter Folyer. 73 Maria Mitchell, late Professor of Astronomy at Vassar College, whose mathematical ability needs no comment to the present generation, was a lineal de- scendant of Peter Folger. Maria Mitchell was daughter of William and Lydia (Coleman) Mitchell. Lydia Coleman was daughter of Andrew Coleman, who was son of Enoch, who was son of Jeremiah, who was son of John, who married Joanna Folger, daughter of Peter Folger. On the paternal side as well she was descended from Peter Folger, and from many of the early settlers on the island.- (See page 141.) William Mitchell filled many positions which brought him into touch with men of letters. He was at one time chairman of the Harvard Observatory Com- mittee, and for a long time one of the Overseers of Harvard College; a member, also, of the Massachusetts Senate, and one of Governor Briggs' Council; and his associations were with the brilliant minds that public life in Boston knew in the earlier half of the nineteenth century. In their home the children were accustomed to culti- vated society. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell entertained many people of rare attainments, as well as the minis- tering Friends who visited the island. Here, at the age of twelve. Miss Mitchell began her astronomical observations. Her brother. Prof. Henry Mitchell, referring to the eclipse of 1831, says: " It was this annular eclipse de- scribed in the next year's American Almanac as a ^ splendid spectacle ' — ' beautiful and sublime,' that first called in the services of Maria Mitchell, as appears 74 Early Settlers of Nantucket. from the accompanying fac-simile of her father's ob- servations at Vestal Street. " We conjecture that the note signed ^ M. M.' was added after her father's death in 1869, at the time his papers were gathered up. " These observations of the eclipse made in concur- rence with those of Paine at Monomoy and Bond at Dorchester had for practical object the determination of the longitude of the house in Vestal Street where the chronometers of the whale-ships were carried to be rated and set to Greenwich time." " Mr. Mitchell came in time to be the rater of all chronometers of a fleet of ninety-two whale-ships re- quiring observations on every fine day of the year. We mention this to indicate how accustomed his daughter must have been to the talk of astronomy, even as the source, in part, of her daily bread." The connection of the Barker family with Nantucket and with the family of Peter Folger furnishes a link between ]^antucket and Plymouth. Jacob Barker, financier and merchant, was son of Robert Barker and Sarah Gardner. Robert Barker was son of Samuel Barker and Bethiah Folger. Samuel Barker was son of Isaac Barker and Judith Prcnce. Bethiah Polger was daughter of John, and granddaughter of Twtbr Folohb, . . ^ / // //• ^r. ^/ Peter Folger. 75 Judith Pretjce was daughter of GovEKNOB Thomas Pkewce and Mary Collier, and granddaughter of William Collier. William Collier, whose daughter Mary was second wife of Governor Prence, was a wealthy merchant, who came early to Plymouth and soon removed to Dux- bury.* It is not known whether he brought with him a wife, but Savage says " four daughters of excellent character came with him," — Sarah, who married Love Brewster; Mary, who married Thomas Prence; Elizabeth, who married Constant Southworth; and Re- becca. William Collier was assistant governor twenty-eight years,! member of Council of War four years,:}: member of Provincial Congress in 1643, and one of the com- mittee of two appointed by Congress to sign the Arti- cles of Confederation. § He died in Duxbury in 1671. Thomas Prence was born at Lechdale, Gloucester- shire, England, in 1600; he died in Plymouth, Massa- chusetts, in 1673. He was governor of the Plymouth Colony eighteen years, assistant thirteen years, treas- urer one year, member of the Council of War five years, commissioner twelve years, alternate commis- sioner several years. The IST. E. Hist, and Gen. Reg., vol. vi., p. 234, thus speaks of him: * Savage, vol. i., p. 443. ■\ Plymouth Colonial Records, vol. i., pp. 32-36, etc. t Ibid., vol. ii., pp. 47, 64. § See Wineor'B History of Duxbury, p. 90, and Savage, vol. i., p. 433. 76 Early Settlers of Nantucket. " He was a worthy gentleman and very able for his office, and faithful in the discharge thereof, studious of peace, a well wilier to all that feared God and a terror to the wicked." Doubtless, from various records, Thomas Prence was a zealot in his own belief and intolerant of all whose views did not accord with his; it must be remembered that in that day intolerance was the rule and charity the exception. Governor Prence and his associates believed they were engaged in their Master's service in any perse- cutions they were party to, and the author of " The Pilgrim Republic " says, " A severe execution of the laws was exceptional with them and they often exer- cised leniency on slight pretexts." He further says, '' Thomas Prence had ever swayed the courts in religious matters. Let it stand as a redeeming trait to his character that he used this influ- ence to emancipate his people from the bonds of a world-wide superstition.* Prence also honored himself by zealously promoting public education. . . . The stern Calvinism which he cherished had long been losing its hold on the public mind, and the signs of the times were ominous to those conservative principles which he considered essential to a good government ... it is probable that the weary Governor was quite ready to go when death summoned him from the Gov- ernment-house April 8, 1673, at the age of seventy- three. f ■" Witchcraft. f For dates and authorities concerning the services of Thomas Prence, see Justin Winsor's History of Duxbury; Plymouth Col- Professor Henry Mitchell.

Tucker, in an article written for " The American Friend," and published in its issue dated Sixth month 20th, 1901, gives many inter- esting facts concerning the attitude of the Plymouth Colony toward Quakers and the intolerance of Gov- ernor Prence toward the sect. Among his descendants are many representatives of the Society. " Arthur Howland, brother of John Howland, was summoned to appear at the house of John Alden to answer for entertaining a Quaker. . . . " At a Court held June 1st, 1658, before Thomas Prence, Governor, and his assistants, Robert Harper, Kalph Allen, Jr., John Allen, Thomas Greenfield, Ed- ward Perry, Richard Kirby, Jr., William Allen, Thomas Ewer, William Gifford, George Allen, Jr., Matthew Allen, Daniel Wing, John Jenkins, Jr., and George Webb, of Sandwich, were summoned and gave a reason for refusing to take the oath of fidelity to the government and to the mother country, as they de- clared it unlawful to take oath. . . .

Arthur Howland, Jr., son of Arthur, married Eliza- beth Prence after many years of opposition on the part of her father. Governor Prence. His prejudice against Quakers was so strong that Arthur was fined five dollars for presuming to pay at- tention to Elizabeth, and forbidden to see her. When, after years, the young people, faithful to each other, and regardless of their duty to parental au- thority, renewed the engagement, Arthur was again fined five dollars, which fine was duly paid, but the ardent lover prevailed, and history says Elizabeth Prence became " Mistress Arthur Howland." William Allen Butlek belongs to this branch of the family, his great-grandmother having been a haK- sister of Jacob Barker and daughter of the aforesaid Robert Barker. Another descendant of Peter Folger was the late Charles James Folgek, who was born at ISTantucket in 1S18; when he was thirteen years of age the family removed to Geneva, 'New York. He graduated at Hobart College in 1836, read law with Mark H. Sibley, and was admitted to the bar in 1839. He was judge, State senator, chief justice, sub-treasurer of the United States, in ISTew York, and finally Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. li CHAPTER X. THOMAS GAEDINEK, AND HIS SONS RICHARD AND JOHN GARDNER. William C. Folger, in his notes on the Gardner family, makes the following entry: " Farmer, in his Register, says, ' Thomas Gardner came from Scotland; ' a Nantucket tradition says he came from Sherborne, in the northern part of the County of Dorset, and that the former name of IvTantucket (Sherburne) was given through the influence of his family. There is no ques- tion of the fact that they exercised considerable influ- ence over the affairs of the town." There are few natives of Nantucket who do not claim descent from Thomas Gardner. From New England History and Genealogical Reg- ister, vol. XXV., pp. 48, 49, we learn that " Thomas Gardiner, the first of the Salem stock, came over in 1624 from Dorsetshire, England, near which the name had flourished for more than three centuries, and set- tled under the auspices of the Dorchester Company and Rev. John White, with thirteen others at Gloucester, Cape Ann, upon the grant of Lord Sheffield to Robert Cushman and Edward Winslow, made in January of that year. Note.— Mr. Folger, referring to the characteristic " silent " as applied to the Gardner family, says: "They certainly have been less noisy and have displayed more shrewdness than many other families, and in proportion to their numbers have had the largest share of offices." 80 Early Settlers of Nantucket. " Mr. Gardner was overseer of the plantation, John Tillev of the lishcries, Eoger Conant being isoon after appointed Governor. '* Xot realizing the success they anticipated in founding a colony they removed, in 1626, to Xaum- keag, or Salem, which continued the home of Mr. Gardner and his descendants down to the present cen- tury. He died in 1635." Henry Drinker Biddle, in his '* History of the Drinker Family," on page six, says: '' Sarah Gardner, the wife of Benjamin Balch, was the daughter of Thomas Gardner, the iirst Goveriior of the Cape Ann Colony.'' Savage, Vol. II., p. 230, gives the following in sub- stance: Thomas Gardner, Salem, was first at Cape Ann em- ployed by the projectors of the settlement to oversee the fisheries; 1024 or 5 he removed ^^'ith Koger Con- ant; was made freeman IT May, 1637, and was repre- sentative same year. He was also a member of the Town Council of Salem for a number of years. The weight of authority would indicate that Thomas Gardiner and John Tillev were the chief rulers of the Cape Ann Colony during the time which preceded the appointment of Eoger Conant as Governor. As during that time they were in the highest posi- tion, other authorities than Mr. Biddle have referred to Thomas Gardiner as Governor, and as such he has been quoted through many generations. Prom the Historical Collections of Essex Institute of Salem, we learn that the name of Gardiner has been Thomas Gardiner. 81 knoAVTi and respected throughout the entire history of the city. He married: first, Margaret Frier, who was the mother of his children; second, Damaris Shattuck, widow. Thomas Gardiner had several sons, among whom, as early settlers of Nantucket, although not original proprietors, were Eichard and John, who took an active part in affairs civil and military. Austin says that Richard Gardner lived at Salem from 1643 to 1666; he and his wife (Sarah Shattuck) were persecuted for attending Quaker Meeting, and went to Nantucket, where they spent the remainder of their lives. In 1673, Governor Lovelace commissioned Richard as chief magistrate of Nantucket, " he to hold his com- mission until the next election and return and approba- tion of a new one by Francis Lovelace." * Copy of " A Letter from the Secretary to y^ Inhah^ of Nantuckett. \_Deeds III. 89, Secretary's Office.'] " New Yorke, Apr. ye 24th, 1673.

Note. — John Gardner's daughter Rachel married John Brown, of iSalem, son of Elder John Brown and Hannah (Hobart). Hannah Hobart was daughter of Rev. Peter Hobart, who was born in Hingham, County of Norfolk, England, in 1604, and died in Hingham, Massachusetts, January 20, 1679. (Hobart Family Memorial, Part I., pp. 103, 104, No. 23, III. A.)

" Edmund Hobart, father of Rev. Peter Hobart, was a member of the General Court, 1639-40-42, from Hingham, Massachusetts. He brought a wife and several children with him from England in 1635, and died in 1646, leaving Edmund, Joshua, Rev. Peter, Thomas, and two daughters, Rebecca and Sarah." CHAPTEK XI. SAMUEL SHATTUCK. The name of Shattuck is associated with. Nantucket, through the marriage of Sarah Shattuck * to Richard Gardner, son of Governor Thomas Gardiner. There has appeared to be some difficulty in finding exact and clear record concerning Samuel Shattuck, but the most likely history of his family is that there were two of the name — that Damaris, who in her widowhood, married Thomas Gardiner, was widow of Samuel and mother of Samuel. Damaris Shattuck was without much doubt a widow when she came to Massachusetts; it is believed by the family that her husband died on the voyage to Amer- ica, a not infrequent occurrence in the long voyages of early times. Two sons of Thomas Gardiner married daughters of their step-mother. Richard Gardner married Sarah Shattuck, and they have many descendants among ISTantucket's sons and * It has been the belief of many descendants of Sarah (Shat- tuck) Gardner that she was a daughter of Samuel Shattuck, concerning whom this chapter is written^ and Savage (vol. ii., p. 229) says, "Richard Gardner married Sarah Shattuck, prob- ably daughter of Samuel; " other authorities, and those having most weight in this connection, give Samuel with Sarah in a list of the children of Damaris Shattuck (widow who married Thomas Gardiner). Samuel Shattuck. 87 daughters. George Gardner married Hannali Shat- tuck. Samuel Shattuck, who is the subject of this chapter, was by a careful investigation of dates doubtless son of Damaris Shattuck. He is described as "an inhabitant of Salem of good repute," was born in England about 1620; on coming to this country he settled in Salem, Massachusetts. A stone still standing over his grave in Salem bears the following inscription: " Here lyeth buried y^ body of Samuel Shattuck aged 69 years who departed this life in y* 6th day of June 1689." He was present at a Friends' Meeting when Christopher Holder attempted to speak, and he " endeavored to prevent their thrusting a handkerchief into Holder's mouth lest it should have choked him," for which attempt he was carried to Boston and im- prisoned till he had " given bond to answer it at the next Court and not to come to any Quaker meeting." The following extracts are taken from the edition of Besse's " Collection of The Sufferings of the People called Quakers," printed in London in 1753 (vol. ii., pp. 187, 188). A Letter of the Prisoners to the Magistrates at the Court in Salem. " Friends: " Whereas it was your Pleasures to commit us, whose names are underwritten, to the House of Correc- tion in Boston, although the Lord the righteous Judge of Heaven and Earth is our witness, that we had done 88 Early Settlers of Nantuclcet. nothing worthy of Stripes or of Bonds, and we being committed by your Court to be dealt withal as the Law provides for foreign Quakers, as y^ please to term us; and having some of us suffered your Law and Pleasures, now that which we do expect is, now to be set free by the same Law, as your Manner is with Strangers and not to put us in upon the Account of one Law and exe- cute another Law upon us, of which, according to your own Manner, we were never convicted as the Law ex- presses. J£ you had sent us upon the Account of your new Law, we should have expected the Gaoler's Order to have been on that Account, which that it was not, appears by the Warrant which we have, and the Pun- ishment which we bare, as four of us were whipped, among whom was one that had formerly been whipt, so now also, according to your former Law. Priends, let it not be a small Thing in your Eyes, the exposing, as much as in you lies, our families to Riiin. " It's not unknown to you, the Season, and the Time of the Year, for those that live of Husbandry, and what their Cattle and Families may be exposed unto; and also such as live on Trade. " We know if the Spirit of Christ did dwell and rule in you, these Things would take Impression upon your Spirits. " What our Lives and Conversations have been, in that place is well known, and what we now suffer for, is much for false Keports and ungrounded Jealousies of Heresy and Sedition. These Things lie upon us to lay before you. As for our Parts, we have true Peace and Rest in the Lord in all our Sufferings, and are made willing in the Power and Strength of God, freely to Samuel Shattuck. 89 offer up our Lives in this Cause of God, for which we suffer; Yea, and we do find, through Grace, the En- largements of God in our imprisoned Estate, to whom alone we commit ourselves and Families, for the dis- posing of us according to his infinite Wisdom and Pleasure, in whose Love is our Rest and Life.

" On the 11th of the Third Month, 1659, the afore- said Laurence and Cassandra Southwick, their son Josiah, Samuel Shattuck, and others were called before the Court, and as they continued steadfast in what the governor was pleased to call rebellion against the Authority of the country the Sentence of Banishment was pronounced against them, and but a Fortnight's Time allowed for them to depart, on pain of Death, nor would they grant them any longer Time, though de- sired: So the said Samuel Shattuck, Mcholas Phelps, and Josiah Southwick were obliged to take an Oppor- tunity that presented four Days after to pass for Eng- land by Barbadoes. The aged couple Laurence and Cassandra went to Shelter Island where shortly after 90 Early Settlers of Nantuclcet. they died within three Days of each other; and Joshua Buffum departed to Ehode Island." (Vol. II., page 198.) Copy of the King^s Letter or Mandamus. " Trusty and Wellbeloved, we greet you well.

" By His Majesty's Command. " WiL. Morris." (Vol. IL, Page 225.) " In procuring the aforesaid Letter or Mandamus from the King, Edward Burroughs was a principle Instrument for when the ISTews of W. Leddra's Death came to the Ears of the Friends at London, and of the Danger many others of their Persuason were in, they were much concerned, especially the said Edward Bur- roughs, who speedily repaired to the Court and having got Access to the King's Presence, told him, There was a Vein of innocent Blood opened in his Dominiofis, which if it were not stopped might overrun all. To which the King replied, But I will stop that Vein. Then Burroughs desired him to do it speedily, for there was Danger of many others being soon put to Death. " The King answered. As speedy as you will and or- dered the Secretary to be called, and the Mandamus to be forthwith granted. " A few Days after Edward Burroughs went again to the King, desiring Dispatch of the Business. The King said, lie had no present Occasion to send a Ship thither, but if they would send one, they might as soon as they would. " The King also granted his Deputation to Samuel Shattock who had been banished thence, to carry his Mandamus to New England. " Whereupon an Agreement was made with Ralph 93 Early Settlers of Nantucket. Goldsmith, one of the said People called Quakers, and Master of a good Ship, for 300Z to sail forthwith. " He immediately prepared for his Voyage and in about six weeks arrived in Boston Harbor, on a First- day of the Week. " The Townsmen seeing a Ship with English Colours soon came on board and asked for the Captain. "Kalph Goldsmith told them he was the Com- mander. They asked. Whether he had any Letters? He answered. Yes. But withal told them, He would not deliver them that Day. " So they returned on shore again, and reported, that There were many Quakers come, and that Samuel Shat- tuck (who they knew had been banished on pain of Death) was among them. " But they knew nothing of his Errand or Authority. " Thus all was kept close, and none of the Ship's Company suffered to go on shore that Day. " Next morning Ealph Goldsmith the Commander, with Samuel Shattuck, the King's Deputy, went on shore, and sending the Boat back to the Ship, they two went directly through the Tovm to the Governour's House, and knockt at the Door: He sending a Man to know their Business, they sent Him Word, that their Message was from the King of England, and that they would deliver it to none but himself. " Then they were admitted to go in, and the Gov- ernour came to them and commanded Samuel Shat- tuck's Hat to be taken off, and having received the Deputation and the Mandamus, he laid off his own Hat, and ordering Shattuck's Hat to he given him again, perused the Papers, and then went out to the Deputy- Samuel Shattuck. 93 Governour's, bidding the King's Deputy and the Mas- ter of the Ship to follow him: Being come to the Deputy-Governour's and having consulted him, he re- turned to the aforesaid two Persons, and said. We shall obey his Majesty's Command. "After this the Master of the Ship gave Liberty to his Passengers to come on shore, which they did and had a religious Meeting with their Friends of the Town, where they returned Praises to God for his Mercy man- ifested in this wonderful Deliverance. " Not long after the following order at Boston was issued: " To William Salter Keeper of the Prison at Boston. " You are required, by Authority and Order of the General-Court forthwith to release and discharge the Quakers who at present are in your Custody: See that you dont neglect this. " By Order of the Court " Edwaed Rawson, Secretary. " Boston the 9th of December, 1G61." To the instrumentality of Samuel Shattuck, aided by Edward Burroughs, is due the discontinuance, for a time at least, of one of the most iniquitous persecutions ever carried on, instigated by those who themselves had suffered for conscience' sake. Whipping and imprison- ment were later resorted to, but never to the same extent. With this mandate from the king, Samuel Shattuck was safe to live thereafter a peaceable life in Salem. 94 Early Settlers of Nantucket. The usual character accorded to the early settlers of New England for extraordinary Christian names is ex- emplified by a son Retire and a daughter Return, men- tioned in records of Samuel Shattuck. These were sup- posed to be commemorative of his banishment and re- turn. These two children probably died young, as in the division of the property they are not mentioned; at all events the names have not descended. Whittier, in characteristic manner, describes the in- terview between Governor Endicott and Samuel Shat- tuck. The door swung open and Rawson the clerk Entered, and whispered under breath, " There waits below for the hangman's work A fellow banished on pain of death — Shattuck, of Salem, unhealed of the whip, Brought over in Master Goldsmith's ship At anchor here in a Christian port. With freight of the devil and all his sort! " Twice and thrice on the chamber floor Striding fiercely from wall to wall, " The Lord do so to me and more," The Governor cried, " if 1 hang not all! Note. — In Besse's History is an account of the death of Wil- liam Robinson, Marmaduke Stephenson, William Leddra, and Mary Dyer, who suffered martyrdom by hanging in Boston in 1660 for their firm adherence to the principles of truth as pro- fessed by Friends. Wenlock Christisen was under sentence of death when Samuel Shattuck returned from England bearing the mandamus from King Charles Second requiring the release of all Friends from prison. Samuel Shattuck. 95 Bring hither the Quaker." Calm, sedate, With the look of a man at ease with fate. Into that presence, grim and dread Came Samuel Shattuck, with hat on head. " Off with the knave's hat ! " An angry hand Smote down the offence; but the wearer said. With a quiet smile, " By the king's command I bear his message, and stand in his stead." In the Governor's hand a missive he laid, With the royal arms on its seal displayed. And the proud man spake as he gazed thereat, Uncovering, " Give Mr. Shattuck his hat." He turned to the Quaker, bowing low, — "The King commandeth your friends' release; Doubt not he shall be obeyed, although To his subjects' sorrow and sin's increase. What he here enjoineth, John Endicott, His loyal servant, questioneth not. You are free! God grant the spirit you own May take you from us to parts unknown." With its gentler mission of peace and good will, The thought of the Quaker is living still. And the freedom of soul he prophesied Is gospel and law where the martyrs died. CHAPTER XII. THOMAS MAYHEW AND THOMAS MAYHEW, JR. That Thomas Mayhew was a proprietor of Nan- tucket has been previously shown. He selected " his Sonne " Thomas Mayhew, Jr., as his associate. It is probable that Thomas Mayhew, St., never had more than a business connection with ISTantucket, but one of his descendants married a descendant of Peter Folger. Thomas Mayhew was born early in 1592, and was a merchant of Southampton, England, but emigrated to America in 1633 or 1634, was admitted a freeman May 14, 1634, and early in 1635 settled at Watertown, Mas- sachusetts, where he o^vned mills purchased of Mr. Cradock, and a farm; he was at one time proprietor of the Oldham farm. He was a selectman from 1637 to 1643, and a representative to the General Court from 1636 to 1644. In 1641 he obtained a grant of Martha's Vineyard, and sent there his son Thomas and several other persons who settled at Edgartown. (History of Watertown.) He himself did not move to Martha's Vineyard until 1644 or 1645. Note. — William C. Folger's MS. says, " The first Mayhew known in England was Simon, who went there in 1000 a.d. from Normandy, settled in County of Wiltshire, and from Wiltshire came Thomas Mayhew to America." Thomas Mayhew. 97 Whether he brought any other children from Eng- land has not been ascertained. Cotton Mather says of him, — " The worshipful Thomes Mayhew in the year 1641 obtained a grant of Martha's Vineyard, ISTantucket and Elizabeth Isles to make a settlement. " His son Mr Thomas Mayhew in the year 1642 settl'd at Martha's Vineyard with a few other Inhabi- tants where his Reputation for Piety, his Natural Gifts, besides the acquir'd by his Education (having attained no small knowledge in the Latin and Greek tongues; and being not wholly a stranger to the Hebrew) soon occasioned his Call to the Ministry among that handful. " In 1647 he intended a short voyage for England, but alas, the ship wherein he took passage was never heard of." Of Thomas Mayhew, the governor, he says, — " I have already told my Reader that the Govern- ment of this People was the best (of all Governments) Monarchy; and it has been Judged not without Reason, that a main Obstruction in the Progress of the Gospel in the American Plantation, was, if not yet is, the Jealousie the Princes conceiv'd of the Invasion of their Government through the Pretences of Religion and the Eclipsing their Monarchical Dignity. " Mr Thomas Mayhew therefore finding that the Princes of these Islands, who although they maintained their Absolute Power and Jurisdiction as Kings, were yet bound to do certain Homage to a Potent Prince on the Continent ; and although they were no great People, yet had been wasted in Indian Wars, wherein the Great Princes on the Continent (not unlike European Princes 98 Early Settlers of Nantucket. for like Reasoiis of State) were not unassisting, whereby they were necessitated to make these Princes the Bal- ance to decide their Controversies, and several Jurisdic- tions, by Presents annually sent, whereby obliging the Princes to give their several Assistance as Occasion requir'd. " And seeing his son, as aforesaid, in a Zealous En- deavor for their Conversion he judged it meet that Moses and Aaron joyn Hands. " He therefore prudently lets them know, that by Order from his Master the King of England, he was to govern the English which should inhabit these Islands ; " That his Master was in Power far above any of the Indian Monarchs; but that as he was Powerful so was he a great Lover of Justice : " That therefore he would in no measure invade their Jurisdiction but on the Contrary assist them as Need required : " That Eeligion and Government w^ere distinct Things. " Thus in no long time they conceiv'd no ill Opinion of the Christian Religion." (B VI., Magnalia Section III.) In closing the history of Thomas Mayhew's Govern- ment he says, — " I shall close the whole when I have told the Header that their Children are generally taught to Read and Write. " In one of their towns last winter ^dz: 1693, thirty Children were at school, twenty more of the same place, accidentally, being not supplied with books could not attend to it. Thomas MayJiew. 99 " Such who are too far distant from any school are often taught by some of their neighbors; in diver3 places there are lesser schools." Thomas May hew, Jr., left three sons (who subse- quently assumed a leading part in the affairs of these islands.) These sons were named Thomas, John, and Matthew. To his grandchildren Thomas Mayhew alludes in a postscript of a letter to Governor Edmond Andros : * " May it please yo"" Hono"" to image what I have on these Islands Graund Sonnes 15 My sonnes sonnes sonnes 3 Daughters 3 Graund Daughters 11 32 " I prayfe God two of my Grand-sons does preach to English and Indians, Matthew sometimes to the younge." Thomas, the grandson, died in 1715, and John in 1689, aged thirty-seven years. Experience Mayhew, a minister, author of '' Indian Converts or Some Account of the Lives and Dyeing Speeches of Christianized Indians of Martha's Vine- yard in New England," published in London, 1727, was a son of John Mayhew. Jonathan Mayhew, who was born in Martha's Vine- yard, October 8th, 1720, and died in Boston, July 9, 1766, was a clergyman and an advocate of liberalism; he was a son of Experience Mayhew. * N. Y. Col. MSS., xxiv., Secretary's Office. L.C. ^. V ALL TUE WAY TO SHE AESM© PEM"v CHAPTER XIII. CUSTOMS, DOCUMENTS AND INCIDENTS OF NANTUCKET. By early custom, all land on ISTantiicket, not set aside for homesteads, was held in common by proprietors, numbering twenty-seven, when the custom was estab- lished. As time went on the number of proprietors increased, and by sale or inheritance the holdings of individuals were divided, and varied according to circumstances. An acre and a half of land appears to have been origi- nally the equivalent of a " sheep's common "; the area of a " cow's common " was eight times that of a sheep, and a " horse common " contained twice the area of a " cow's common." After nearly a century and a half, and early in the nineteenth century, some individuals, wishing to hold their lands in severalty, petitioned to the organization of proprietors, but the end was not accomplished in this way. The case was carried to the Courts, and after ** Shearing Day.'' Customs, Documents and Incidents. 101 several years of litigation was decided in favor of the petitioners, and bj application to the judicial Court an owner could have his boundaries defined by commis- sioners appointed to set off his portion; in this way many titles have been secured. The undivided lands continued to be held in common. On these commons the flocks and herds grazed throughout the year, until " Shearing Day/' when, by their marks, the sheep were sorted and taken by their several owners to that portion of the island set apart for the gala occasion, which always attended the annual clipping. Here were " washing ponds " and " sheep pens," and as the time for " shearing " approached booths were put up and stored with things to eat, which usually charac- terize a festivity of this kind. • There were at times from seven to ten thousand sheep on the commons, and the wool which the annual shearing afforded, furnished the homespun blankets and materials for clothing, which satisfied the simple de- mands of early days in Nantucket, as in other Colonial tov^Tis. The following unique contract is from ISTew York State Records, Deed I., Y4, Secretary's Office, Albany, and bears date of " March 22, 16^^." Richard Gardner had " granted to him haKe accom- modacons, according to the Grants made to seamen and Tradesmen, upon condition that hee exercise himself e as a Sea-man, and that he come to Inhabitt here with his ffamily before the End of May — 68 — And after that his Entrance here, not to depart the Island in 103 Early Settlers of Nantucket. Point of dwelling for the space of three Years upon the Forfeiture of the Grant aforesaid." In memoranda of William C. Folger, published in ^Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror, in 1862, is the fol- lowing : " Joseph Gardner the eldest son of Mr Kichard Gard- ner had half a share of land on l^antucket Granted him 15th of February 16G7. In consideration of which he was to supply the occasions of the Island in the way of a Shoe Maker and not leave the island for the space of four years." The same account says: "Richard Gardner's Will gave to Joseph, eldest son, twice as much as to his other children who were left share and share alike." Among old wills and deeds one often finds very amusing clauses, and generally the care of the unmar- ried women of the family was assured by the will of a parent. The following extract from the will of Francis Macy is one of many instances; it was expected that other members of the family would supplement the pro- vision for shelter by caring for daily needs : " I give unto my Daughter Deborah Macy the south west chamber of my Dwelling houfe, so long as she Remains single; But if she should marry my will is that it Return to my sun francis." Inventories were very exact, in some instances going so carefully into detail as to cover the amount of gin- gerbread in the closet. No provision closet was well ordered unless stocked Customs, Documents and Incidents. 103 with gingerbread, and for grand occasions doughnuts, and later " wonders," as the richer " cruller " was called. " Wonder " was a local term, and it is easy to fancy how such a name might originate if some good- wife produced an especially good article. Recipes were known by the names of those who first prepared the viands they described, and manuscript copies of them were handed down from generation to generation. The following are among the earliest recorded wills: PROBATE RECORDS FOR THE COUNTY OF NANTUCKET. Book A, 'Ro. 1, p. 4.

It is not positive evidence of illiteracy that at that early date spelling was inaccurate. The transition from Old English was not made in a hurry; and many years were to pass before the excellent rules and meth- ods of to-day were perfected. Persecution, which drove many to America, left them little with which to begin a new life ; and the hard- ships experienced offered no opportunity for mental im- provement. The men of those early Colonial days were shrewd 108 Early Settlers of Nantucket. enough in selecting localities for settling towns, and the women were helpmeets in doing what their hands found to do. What time had they to read beyond th© Bible which they brought with them, which few appear to have neglected? The documents of those times often have considerable merit in their directness. Considering the general improvement in English in the present day, it is a striking fact that deeds and other legal documents are not less verbose, and are quite as full of needless repetition as they were in Colonial days. One anecdote of the Civil War suggests itself. The strong good sense of the Quaker element which per- vaded Nantucket is here evident, as it has been on many other occasions in the history of the island. The defenceless position of iSTantucket has always been cause of alarm to its inhabitants in times of war, and ways and means of defence have been suggested from time to time. Any one who is familiar with its geographical posi- tion, however, will appreciate how impossible it would have been to have made a complete and efficient strong- hold, even at that time, when the long range of mod- ern ordnance had not been arrived at. During the Civil War a town meeting was called to consider the wisdom of placing two brass cannon on the North Cliff shore, looking toward the harbor. It was the custom of the Quakers of Nantucket to let town meetings alone. They often could not approve their action, and, as they felt, removed their responsi- bility by non-attendance. The Old Grist Mill. Customs, Documents and Incidents. 109 The particular town meeting in question was, how- ever, a challenge to the non-combatant members of the Society of Friends. One of them told the writer of the discomfiture of the keen advocates of defence, when the body of Friends appeared. The narrator was a staunch " Quaker of the olden time, calm and firm and true." As he approached the old Town Hall (which lives in history only) he was met by a warlike nephew, who said: " Why, Uncle , I thought you never at- tended the Town Meetings," to which the Friend re- plied: "I have reserved the privilege, and," he added, " the movement to place the cannon on CliS Shore was voted down, a movement which would have been ridiculous, if our principles had nothing to do with it, and would have been no defence at all." At all times, after the earliest settlement, notwith- standing the inaccessibility of the island, intercourse was frequent between the citizens of Sherburne and those of the " main-land " ; however, many lived to a good old age without leaving the island. A notable instance was in the life of one of Nsm- tucket's respected citizens, who died in 1886, at the age of eighty-four, and once only left his native island. He was sixty-seven years of age when he finally yielded to the entreaties of his friends, and went with a party to Xew Bedford, and from there to Fall River. While at Fall River he noticed one of the Sound steamers, the Bay State, at the wharf. It was a larger steamer than he had seen, and he was greatly impressed 110 Early Settlers of Nantucket. with its magnificence. Captain Brown was very anxious to take him to New York and show him that great metropolis; he tendered him the finest state room on the boat, but all persuasions were unavailing. Our aged friend said he had already seen " more than he could realize " (a local use of the word), that he was a long way from home, and declared, " that if he ever lived to get back to I^antucket he would never leave the island again." This is one of many anecdotes that might be told illustrating the contentment of the quiet folk who in- habited I^antucket in earlier days; they generally lived long and were useful, satisfied with the sphere in which circumstances had placed them, emphasizing by their lives their belief that God gives to every man.

If, with the broader experience of to-day, we do not accept in full this creed of our ancestors, we may not be happier than they. Watching for Wfialeships. CHAPTER XIV. AN EXPLANATION OF THE NEUTRAL POSITION OF NANTUCKET DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. The wisdom of neutrality in ISTantucket during the Revolutionary War was probably never questioned by a native of the island, but among their descendants it has been far different; they have doubted the patriotism of a people who could refrain from taking decided ground when so much was at stake. To make the position of Nantucket at that time per- fectly plain, one must go back to the latter part of the Seventeenth Century and follow closely the history of its fishing interests, and consider the toil of building up a business which would have been absolutely ruined had the islanders boldly taken sides with the Colonists. Very early in its history the people of the island had undertaken whale fishing. Whales were plentiful along the coasts, small boats only were used in the cap- ture of them, the fishermen venturing short distances from the shore and returning to their homes each night; by degrees they grew bolder, and undertook 112 Early Settlers of Nantucket. longer voyages; the number of vessels and of seamen increased Until to every wind of heaven Nantucket's sails were spread. The following statistics, found in a report made to Congress by Thomas Jefferson in 1775, show how large a proportion of the Massachusetts income from " whal- ing " may be credited to Nantucket : For Massachusetts there were employed 304 vessels, 27,840 tonnage, 4,059 seamen, returning about 47,040 barrels of oil. In which Nantucket was accredited with 150 vessels, 15,070 tonnage, 2,025 seamen, 30,000 barrels of oil. About the year 1771 the gathering clouds on the political horizon made the more timid question seriously the wisdom of continuing their business. French privateers were often encountered. Ship owners lost heavily in consequence, and in view of these depredations many heads of families began to cast about for means of livelihood attended with less risk than that of following the seas. At first Nantucket had sent oil to England througk other ports. At the time preceding the Revolution trade was carried on to a considerable extent directly with London, and if the threatened storm were to break, it may readily be imagined to what peril would be sub- Neutrality During Revolution. 113 Jected the only industry wliicli had brought gain and comparative wealth to Nantucket. After deliberate weighing of the matter, a large num- ber of citizens removed to North Carolina, thence to Indiana and Ohio; also to Maine, and New Bedford, Massachusetts ; and quite a company united with Provi- dence and Martha's Vineyard, in locating and settling the city of Hudson. Articles of agreement were there drawn up by the Proprietors, and the settlement was inaugurated on much the same plan as that which more than a century before had been adopted in the settlement of Nan- tucket. Thomas Jenkins, a native of Nantucket, was a pioneer in the Hudson movement, and to him largely is due the credit of what proved a successful venture. The names of Nantucket proprietors of the Hudson settlement were as follows : Thomas Jenkins. Joseph Barnard Stephen Paddack. Charles Jenkins. Gideon Gardner. Reuben Folger. Alexander Coffin. Benjamin Hussey, Shubael Worth. Paul Hussey. Benjamin Folger. Benjamin Starbuck. John Cartwright. 114 Early Settlers of Nantucket. In spite of the exodus from ISTantucket to the points above named, a considerable number remained and took chances, which, on the breaking out of the war, resulted disastrously. Many of their ships were seized by Eng- lish men-of-war, and the problem by which they were confronted was a serious one; they could not readily turn their attention to agriculture, the soil was sterile, and money not at hand to make it otherwise ; manufac- tures were out of the question, as the raw materials would have to be brought from the mainland across the Vineyard Sound,* and would be subject to danger from the Royal I^avy. To meet the extremity a committee composed of Benjamin Tupper, Timothy Folger,f William Rotch and Samuel Starbuck was sent to ISTewport and N^ew York to interview the British Commanders, and the following agreement was arrived at : " That depreda- tions should cease provided the town of Nantucket would observe strict neutrality." A powerful factor in their non-partisanship or neu- trality was the spirit of non-resistance fostered by Quakerism, which was a very widely prevailing religion on the island at that time. * Vineyard Sound was that portion of the Atlantic Ocean which lies north of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, between them and the mainland, and was a great highway for vessels plying between England and America. I Timothy Folger, son of Abishai, son of Nathan, son of Elea- zer, son of Peter Folger, was a merchant and magistrate at Nan- tucket prior to and during the Revolution. After peace was es- tablished he removed to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia; afterwards to Milford Haven, Wales, where he was merchant and American Consul. "- .;.-«-'5'2k-TT?»> ■ Timothy Fo/ger.

Neutrality During Revolution. 115 After arrangements with the English were com- pleted, the American Colonists, believing that persis- tency in fitting out whaling vessels, and the protection which was given them, indicated loyalty to the Crown, themselves opened warfare upon the Nantucket ships. " A tovni meeting was convened on the 25th of Sep- tember, 1782, and a memorial prepared and adopted which was sent to the General Court of Massachusetts." Referring to this, Mr. Alexander Starbuck says: " They urged that people in continental towns, where the broad country opened to them a place for retreat, could have but faint ideas of the suffering of those who were constantly liable to hostile invasion and whose in- sular position precluded all thought of escape." They scorned the imputation that they had sought neutrality because of sympathy with England. Doubtless tories were in about the same proportion upon the island as in other places throughout the coun- try, but there were many citizens loyal to the interests of the American Colonies. That portion of the petition which referred to the prosecution of their business reads as follows: " We now beg leave to throw a few hints before you respecting the Whalefishery, as a matter of great im- portance to this Commonwealth. This place before the War, was the First in that branch of business, & em- ployed more than One Hundred Sail of good Vessels therein which furnish'd a support not only for Five Thousand Inhabitants here, but for Thousands else- where, no place so well adapted for the good of the Community at large as ISTantucket, it being destitute of every material necessary in the Business, and the In- 116 Early Settlers of Nantucket. habitants might he called Factors for the Continent rather than Principals; as the war encreased the Fish- ery ceased, until necessity obliged us to make trial the last Year, with about seventeen sail of Vessels, Two of which were captured & carried to New York,* and one was burnt the others made saving voyages. The present Year we employed about Twenty Four sail in the same business, which have mostly Compleated their Voy- ages, but with little success; & a great loss will ensue; this we apprehend is greatly owing to the circumscribed situation of the Fishery; we are now fully sensible that it can no longer be pursued by us unless we have free liberty both from Great Britain & America to fish without interruption. " As we now find One of our Vessels is captured & carried to New York, but without any oil on board, and Two others have lately been taken & carried into Boston & Salem, under pretense of having double papers on board, (Nevertheless we presume the Cap- tors will not say that any of our Whalemen have gone into New York during the season as such a charge would have no foundation in Truth.) " And if due attention is not paid to this valuable branch, which if it was viewed in all its parts, perhaps would appear the most advantageous, of any possess'd by this Government, it will be intirely lost, if the War continues: We view it with regret & mention it with Concern, & from the gloomy prospect now before us, we apprehend many of the Inhabitants must quit the Island, not being able even to provide Necessaries for * Then in possession of the English. Neutrality During Revolution. 117 the approaching Winter: some will retreat to the Con- tinent & set down in the Western Governments; and the Most Active in the Fishery will most probably go to distant Countries, where they can have every en- couragement, by Nations who are eagerly wishing to embrace so favorable an opportunity to accomplish their desires; which will be a great loss to the Conti- nent in general, but more to this Government in par- ticular. " We beg leave to impress the consideration of this important subject, not as the judgment of an insignifi- cant few, but of a Town which a few Years since stood the Third in Eank (if we mistake not) in bearing the Burthens of Government; It was then populous and abounded with plenty, it is yet populous, but is covered with poverty. " Your Memorialists have made choice of Samuel Starbuck, Josiah Barker, William Rotch, Stephen Hus- sey and Timothy Folger, as their Committee who can speak more fully to the several matters Contain'd in this Memorial, or any other thing that may concern this County, to whom we desire to refer you. " Signed in behalf of the Town by " Feederick Folgee, " Town Clerk." This memorial was referred to a committee made up of representatives from the Massachusetts Senate and House, who in their turn referred it to Congress. Mr. Starbuck says that " in addition to the action of the General Court, the town also sent William 118 Early Settlers of Nantucket. Eotch and Samuel Starbuck to Philadelphia to inter- cede personally in the matter." Finally permits were granted and duly delivered. So much diplomacy and time were required to accomplish this, that when the permits were received the fleet was spent, and little profit was to be had from carrying on the business. The agreement of neutrality, however, was conscientiously carried out, and Nantucket strug- gled through the war, and experienced considerable prosperity after the proclamation of peace, which fol- lowed very closely on the negotiations mth the General Court. The whaling interests were renewed, but New Bed- ford had made great advance in her effort to secure con- trol of the business. Gradually the number of vessels owned on the island grew less, and ultimately the in- habitants of Nantucket abandoned whale fishing alto- gether, and turned their attention to other pursuits. The bustle and activity of the early times, the quiet calm about the place to-day, the decaying wharves and condition of business on the island are fittingly de- scribed in Mr. Arthur Ketchum's beautiful sonnet: Adrift in taintless seas she dreaming lies, The island city, timeworn now and grey. Her dark wharves ruinous, where once there lay Tall ships at rest from far sea industries. The busy hand of trade no longer plies Within her streets. In quiet court and way The grass has crept —and sun and shadows play Beneath her elms, in changing traceries ; Note. — One hundred and thirty-four whaling vessels belonging to Nantucket fell a prey to the English, and it is estimated that twelve hundred Nantucket men, mostly whalemen, were captured or perished during the Revolution. Neutrality During Revolution. 119 The years have claimed her theirs, and the still peace Of wind and sun and mist, blown thick and white Has folded her. The voices of the seas Through many a soft, bright day and brooding night Have wrought her silence, wide as they and deep; And dreaming of the past, she waits — asleep. CHAPTER XV. EXTRACTS FROM JOURNALS OF THOMAS CHALKLEY, JOHN" RICHARDSON AND THOMAS STORY, GIVING SOME ACCOUNT OF THE RISE OF FRIENDS ON NANTUCKET. Thomas Chaxkley, after alluding to visits in " the eaftern part of New-England," says: " From thence I returned in order to get a paffage to the ifle of ISTantucket; and from a place called Cufh- net, we failed over to the faid ifland in about ten hours, where we tarried feveral days and had five meetings. The people did generally acknowledge to the truth, and many of them were tender-hearted. Some of the an- cient people faid. That it was never known that fo many people were together on the ifland at once. Af- ter the firft meeting was over, one afked the minifter (fo called) whether we might have a meeting at his houfe ? He faid with a good will, we might. This minifter had some difcourfe with me and afked, What induced me to come hither, being fuch a young man? 'John Richardsans Meeting. Bise of Friends on Nantucket. 121 I told him that I had no other view in coming there, than the good of fouls; and that I could fay with the apoftle that a neceffity was laid upon me, and wo would be to me if I did not preach the gofpel. Then, faid he, I wifh you would preach at my houf e in God's name. So next day we had a meeting at his houfe; and on the firft day we had the largeft meeting that we had on the ifland. It was thought there were above two hundred people. The Lord in his power did make his truth known to the praife of his name. Oh! how was my foul concerned for that people ! The Lord Jefus did open my heart to them, and theirs to him. They were alf o loving and kind to us. The chief mag- if trat of the ifland defired that I would have a meet- ing at his houfe; there being no fettled meeting of Friends before I came; and after meeting he difputed about religion with me. I thought we were both but poor difputants ; and I cannot remember all that paf f ed between us, but that in the clofe of our difpute, he faid, I difputed with your friends in Barbadoes and they told me, that we muft eat the fpiritual flefh, and drink the fpiritual blood of Chrift; " And, faid the Governor, did ever any one hear of such flefh and blood; for is it not a contradiction in na- ture that flefh and blood should be fpiritual ? " O f urely, said I, the Governor has forgot himf elf ; for what flefh and blood was that which Chrift faid, except ye eat my flefh and drink my blood ye have no life in you. . . . " And from that time forward they have continued a meeting, and there is now a meeting-houfe, and a yearly meeting for worfhip; it is a growing meeting to 122 Early Settlers of Nantucket. this day, and feveral public friends are raifed up amongft them who preach the gofpel of Chrift freely. " At this time a friend was convinced, whofe name was Starbuck, who became very ferviceable, and lived and died an eminent minifter of Chrift on that ifland. Several fcores of them came and accompanied us to the water-fide; and when we embarked on board our floop, they defired that I would come and vifit them again." John Kichardson says, " It was much with me, when on Rhode Island to visit Nantucket, where there were but very few * Friends. . . . " We landed safe, and as we went up an Ascent we saw a great many people looking towards the Sea, for great Fear had possess'd them, that our Sloop was a French Sloop loaded with Men and Arms, who were coming to invade the Island; I held out my Arms and told them, I knew not of any worse Arms than these on board. " They said, they were glad it was no worse, for they had intended to have alarmed the Island, it being a time of war. I told the good-like People, for so they appear'd to me, That Peleg Slocum near Rhode Island, was Master of the Sloop, and that we came to visit them in the Love of God, if they would be willing * The facts that Richard Gardner and his wife were persecuted for " attending Quaker meeting " in Salem, that they removed to Nantucket to escape that persecution, and that in 1673 he was commissioned Chief Magistrate there, indicate that his fam- ily was among the " few " and we find recorded also that Stephen Hussey and John Swain were Friends, before there was any or- ganization of Friends on the island.

" We then enquired for IN^athaniel Starbuck, who we understood was in some degree convinced of the Truth, and having Directions to his House, we went thither and I told him. We made bold to come to his House, and if he was free to receive us we would stay a little with him, but if not, we would go elsewhere; for we heard he was a seeking religious Man and such chiefly we were come to visit; " He said. We were very welcome. And by this Time came in his Mother Mary Starbuck who the Islanders esteemed as a Judge among them for little of Moment was done there without her, as I under- stood. " At the first Sight of her it sprang in my Heart, To this Woman is the everlasting Love of God. I looked upon her as a Woman that bore some Sway in the Island, and so I said and that truly. We are come in the Love of God to visit you, if you are willing to let us have some Meetings among you: She said. She thought we might. . . . " The next Consideration was Where shall this meet- ing be ? She paused awhile and then said, I think at our House. " I from thence gathered she had an Husband, for I thought the Word our carried in it some Power be- sides her own, and I presently found he was with us: " I then made my Observation on him, and he ap- peared not a Man of mean Parts, but she so far ex- ceeded him in Soundness of Judgment, Clearness of 124 Early Settlers of Nantucket. Understanding and an elegant Way of expressing her- seK, and that not in an affected Strain, but very natural to her, that it tended to lessen the Qualifications of her Husband. " The Meeting being agreed on and Care taken as to the Appointment of it, we parted, and I lay down to try if I could get any Sleep, . . . but Sleep vanished away from me, and I got up and walked to and fro in the Woods until the Meeting was mostly gathered. I was under a very great Load in my Spirit, but the Occasion of it was hid from me, but I saw it my Place to go to Meeting, the Order of which was such, in all the Parts thereof, I had not seen the like before; the large and bright rubbed Room was set with suitable Seats or Chairs, the Glass Windows taken out of the Frames and many Chairs placed without very con- veniently, so, that I did not see anything awanting, ac- cording to the Place, but something to stand on, for I was not free to set my Peet upon the fine Cane Chair, lest I should break it. " I am the more particular in this exact and exem- plary Order than in some other things, for the Seats both within and without Doors, were so placed that the Paces of the People were towards the Seats where the publick Priends sat, and when so set, they did not look or gaze in our Paces, as some I think are too apt to do, which in my Thoughts bespeaks an uncon- cerned Mind, The Meeting being thus gathered and Set down in this orderly and ample manner (although there were but very few bearing our ISTame in it) it was not long before the Mighty Power of the Lord Bise of Friends on Nantucket. 125 began to work, and in it mj Companion * especially did appear in Testimony in the fore Part thereof. . . . I sat a considerable Time in the Meeting before I could see my Way clear to say anything, until the Lord's heavenly Power raised me and set me upon my Feet as if one had lifted me up, and what I had first in Com- mission to speak was in the words of Christ to Nico- demus, viz: Except a Man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God: . . . "As I was thus opened, and delivering these Things with much more than I can remember, the great Woman I felt for most of an Hour together, fought and strove against the Testimony, sometimes looking up in my Face with a pale and then with a more ruddy Complexion; but the Strength of the Truth increased, and the Lord's mighty Power began to shake the People within and without Doors; but she who was looked upon as a Deborah by these People, was loth to lose her outside Religion, or the Appearance thereof; When she could no longer contain, she submitted to the Power of Truth, and the Doctrines thereof, and lifted up her Voyce and wept. " Oh ! then the universal Cry and Brokenness of Heart and Tears was wonderful ! From this Time I do not remember one Word that I spoke in Testimony, it was enough that I could keep upon the true Bot- tom, and not be carried away with the Stream above my Measure. ... I remember Peleg Slocum (before mentioned) said after this Meeting, that the like he was never at, for he thought the Inhabitants of the * James Bates, who was born in Virginia. 126 Earlij Settlers of Nantucket. Island were shaken, and most of the People convinced of the Truth. However a great Convincement there was that Day, Mary Starbuck was one of the Number, and in a short Time after received a publick Testimony, as did also her son Nathaniel." It would appear from a journal of Thomas Story, who was at Nantucket three years later, in 1704, that there was no settled meeting of Friends until some- time after his visit, wherein he felt it required of him to lay his concern before Mary Starbuck as the " in- strument to bring it about." Thomas Story says, "" Before I proceed I think proper just to give a general Relation of the State of the People on the Island of Nantucket with respect to Religion at this Time. This small Island lies about 20 Leagues from the main Land of New England, in- habited by a mixed People of Various Nations and some among them called christianized Indians, but no settled Teachers of any Kind. ... " There was in this Island one Nathaniel Starbuck, whose Wife was a wise discreet Woman, well read in the Scriptures, and not attached unto any Sect, but in great Reputation throughout the Island for her Knowl- edge in Matters of Religion, and an Oracle among them on that Account, insomuch that they would not do any Thing without her Advice and Content there- It would appear that several ministers of other re- ligious denominations had visited the island from time to time, and had desired a settled maintenance there. Rise of Friends on Nantucket. 137 This was opposed by Mary Starbuck as " being con- trary to the practice of the Apostles and Primitives and the ISTature of the Maintenance of a Gospel Minis- try, but she would consent so far, as that when any Preacher came among them, that they liked and staid some Time, and took Pains among them, every Family might give unto such what they pleased for the Help of themselves and their Families, if they had any, as Indian Corn (Maze) or other grain. Meal, Flesh, Fish or such other Provisions as they happened to have at the Time to spare, and Wool &c for Cloathing, but nothing certain or settled: For Ministers of Christ ought to travel abroad in the World in that Calling, and not to sit down in one place, unless they have Families to take care of and cannot leave them. " And Some Time before this John Kinsey, one of our Ministers from Philadelphia, had been to visit them with good Acceptance and had good Service for Truth among them, and had been instrumental in the Hand of the Lord to beget a good liking in them to the Way of Truth, but received nothing from any of them, (for that is not our Way) on account of His Ministry; And I finding a like Concern at this Time and accompanied by Several Friends of both Sexes, we on the 13th Day of the Fifth month,* about the tenth Hour in the Morning, set Sail for the said Island in a Shallop belonging to our Friend Peleg Slocum, before mentioned, which under divine Providence, he himself chiefly conducted, and landed there the next Morning about six, * 1704. 128 Uarly Settlers of Nantucket. " At our lauding we went up to the House of the Widow Mary Gardner where, after some Refreshment had, came to us Nathaniel Starbuck (Husband of Mary Starbuck before mentioned) and his son of the same name, and we proposed to them to have a Meeting that Day, but there being a court to sit then by Special Commission, ... we found it improper at that Time, and some of our Company went Home with Nathaniel Starbuck, the elder, and others with his Son, where we were kindly entertained, tho' Strangers, and they at that Time, not in the Profession of Truth with us. " On the 15th we had a Meeting at the House of Nathaniel Starbuck, the elder, which was pretty large and open, several of the People being tendered and generally satisfied with what they heard and felt of the Goodness and Mercy of God. " On the 16th being the First Day of the Week, w^e had another Meeting there, which was not so large as was expected, by reason of two Priests, an elderly Man and a young one, the first from the Isle of Showles, and the other from Martha's Vineyard, who had a Meeting near us, the former being come to try if he could obtain a settled Maintenance among that People. " And several being curious to hear this new Preacher in the Presbyterian Way, it made our Meet- ing something less than otherwise it might have been, yet it was considerably large, very open and encour- aging, for the good Presence of the Lord was with us."

So that one of these not being able to effect his Purpose went Home in a few Days, but the other staid a little longer. . . . " This evening we ascended toward the upper Part of the Island to John Swains (one who came to our Meetings and there was only one more, that is Stephen Hussie, in all that Island under our name)." '' But one night before we returned from this Island my sleep was taken from me under a concern of mind for the Settlement of a Meeting there; (And though there were two Men under the Profession of Truth among them . . . the chief Instrument pointed to in my Thoughts, by the Truth, for this Service, when we should be gone was Mary Starbuck, before mentioned, to whom I made it known, and in the Opening and Mind of Truth laid a Charge upon her to endeavor to have a Meeting established in their Family once a week at least, to wait upon the Lord with all who were con- vinced of Truth in the ISTeighborhood, and in the Island as they had Conveniency. " This she received with Christian Gravity and it affected her much and became her Concern. " Having first mentioned it to the Friends who were with me I proposed it likewise to her Children (her Husband being freely passive only in such Things, and naturally good temper'd) who were all discreet young 130 Early Settlers of Nantucket. Men and Women, most of them married and hopeful; being all convinced of Truth, they were ready to em- brace the Proposal. " Then I advised them to wait sincerely upon the Lord in such Meetings (for they had no instrumental Teachers) and assured them that I had a firm Confil- dence in the Lord that he would visit them by his Holy Spirit in them, in his own Time, if they were faithful, held on and did not faint or look back. " And accordingly, some time after we departed the Island, they did meet, and the Lord did visit them and gathered many unto himseK, and they became a large and living Meeting in Him and several living and able Ministers were raised by the Lord in that Family, and of others, to the Honour of His own Arm, who is worthy forever." The fact that each of the three ministers — Thomas Chalkley, John Richardson and Thomas Story — in turn felt satisfied that his visit brought about the awakening which led to the large meetings of Friends on Nan- tucket, is most natural. The account of each in his journal is the best record we have, and indicates that in 1698, in 1701 and in 1704 there was a considerable revival among many of those people, and the encouragement given to each mis- sionary was sufiicient excuse for the satisfaction ex- pressed.* *As early as 1664, " Jane Stoakes," an Englishwoman, visited the island, and in a written record, accompanied by dates and believed to be authentic, Jane Stoakes is referred to as the first visiting Friend; again, in 1688, a Friend, who is not named, vis- ited the settlement. Rise of Friends on, Nantucket. 131 From such detail we conclude that the tendencies were strong towards Quakerism before the beginning of the eighteenth century, during which the principles of the Societ}^ of Friends were embraced by a large ma- jority of the people. Friends' Eecords of ISTantucket Monthly Meeting state that it was established in ITOS. The following is a copy of the " minute of petition " of the ]S[antucket Friends, sent to Rhode Island Yearly Meeting: " To Friends at y^ yearly Meeting to be held on Rhoad Island " Pursuant to y® good order of Truth as we have been informed by our friends Ebenezer Rocomb & Patrick Henderson & by whose advice also We do think it Would be for y^ good of friends here to have a monthly meeting of bufiness among ourselves uppon this island of Xantucket hoping it Will tend to our Comfort & Preservation, We do Propose to friends at y^ yearly meeting to be held on Rhoad Island y® 11-12 & 13 Days of y® 4 month nex yt if they see good it should be so they may make an Entry thereof, but if they see cause otherwise then Leave without making any Entry: & if friends alow us to have one, then to advise us what Quarterly meeting may be thought most convenient for us to be Joyned unto yt there we may apply ourselves in any necessary matter as we may have ocafion. and farther we do think it would be of Good service & acceptable to us if friends think Good yt we should have a General meeting for worship once in y® year & if fuiting With friends con- venience to be in y® same month which y^ yearly meet- 132 Early Settlers of Nantucket. ing on Rhoad Island is held on, as soon as possible after y*^ said yearly meeting is ended.

For many years the Society prospered, and its large meeting-houses were well filled. The experience of Nantucket has been a repetition of the history of the Society of Friends in many localities ; other religious denominations have attracted the younger people, and the older members, one by one, have passed from works to rewards, until at present no member of the Society of Friends resides on !N^an- tucket. In 1894 one meeting-house on the island was sold, and is at present the property of the Flistorical Society. Since that date the last meeting-house belonging to Friends has been sold to another denomination. A Nantucket Street. CHAPTEK XVI. AN IMPARTIAL JUDGMENT. A Pennsylvania N writing of ISTantucket one hun- dred years after the settlement, having visited the island for the purpose of studying its manners and cus- toms, says, — "... Here we have none but those which adminis- ter to the useful, to the necessary and to the indispen- sable comforts of life . . . The inhabitants abhor the very idea of expending in useless waste and vain luxu- ries the fruits of prosperous labor. ... At home the tender minds of the children must be early struck with the gravity, the serious, though cheerful deportment of their parents; they are inured to a principle of subor- dination arising neither from sudden passions nor incon- sistent pleasure. They are corrected with tenderness, nursed with most affectionate care, clad with that decent plainness from which they observe their parents never to depart; in short by the force of example, more than by precept, they learn to follow the steps of their parents and to despise ostentatiousness as being sinful. They acquire a taste for that neatness for which their fathers are so conspicuous; they learn to be prudent and saving; the very tone of voice in which they are addressed establishes them in that softness of diction which ever after becomes habitual. If they are left with fortunes, they know how to save them, and how to enjoy them with moderation and decency; if they have 134 Early Settlers of Nantucket. none they know how to venture; how to work and toil as their parents have done before them. ... As the sea excursions are often very long, the wives are neces- sarily obliged to transact business, to settle accounts, and, in short, to rule and provide for their families. These circumstances being oft repeated give women the ability, as well as the taste for that kind of superintend- ency to which, by their prudence and good management, they seem to be in general very equal. This ripens their judgment and justly entitles them to a rank superior to other wives. To this dexterity in managing their hus- band's business whilst he is absent, the jSTantucket women unite a great deal of industry. They spin or cause to be spun, abundance of wool and flax, and would be forever disgraced and looked upon as idlers, if all the family were not clad in good, neat and sufficient home- spun cloth. First days are the only seasons when it is lawful for both sexes to exhibit garments of English manufacture, and even these are of the most moderate price and of the gravest colors." This being the judgment of an outsider surely was impartial, and all of l^antucket descent will be willing to accept the views of a -svriter so flattering, especially as we have no means of judging of those times except- ing by tradition. JSTearly one hundred and fifty added years have wrought many changes, and still we find a justifiable pride in all who claim descent from Mary Starbuck and her contemporaries. If " the evil that men do lives after them," the lives of the early settlers must have been exceptionally ex- FT ' M ^1 A Nantucket Gardefi.

JSTecessity made them what they were ; there could be no idle hands among them; they must work or they must starve; and, at a very early date, the peace of a Quaker influence spread over them proportionate to that of Colonial Philadelphia, and to-day may be heard even among those who belong to the so-called " world's people " " the Thee and the Thou of the Quaker."

I i. CHAPTER XVII. THE MITCHELL FAMILY /'¥ There is a theory entertained by this family that its early history was located in Scotland, but Richard Mitchell, the first of the name of whom we have any record, lived at Brixton or Bricktown, Isle of Wight, and married Mary Wood. The absence of records of this family on the beautiful island, which was the home of our ancestor, indicates that he immigrated there; his son Richard, born 1686, came to Rhode Island in 1708, and in the same year married Elizabeth Tripp; he died in 1722. He was educated in the doctrines of the Church of England, and spent some time in the Royal ISTavy, but after coming to America became convinced of the prin- ciples of the Society of Friends. One of his descendants says of him : " The firmness with which Richard Mitchell adhered to the religious faith he early adopted, the honesty and integrity that were maintained in all his transactions, the tender, thoughtful care for the welfare of his wife and young family, are striking traits which are inherited by many of his descendants. "... He was blessed with a good understanding and sound judgment, and was capable of assisting and advising in matters of difficulty."

She was the first president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Ohio, and later, recording secre- tary of the National and World's Temperance Unions, and gave her time and life (dying while in the service of the Union) to the cause which she had espoused. While she was an enthusiast, she was in no sense a fanatic, being governed always by strong common sense, and a dignity which was nature's gift. She trav- eled extensively, and often addressed large audiences,- in addition to her close and conscientious work with the pen in the discharge of her duties as secretary. Professor Maria Mitchell (see chapter on Peter Polger) was another granddaughter of Peleg Mitchell, Sr., and Lydia (Cartwright) Mitchell. From the " History of the Hazard Family " we learn that Thomas Hazard, progenitor of the Hazard family in America, was born in 1610, and died in 1680. He married first, Martha , who died in 1669; second, Martha, widow of Thomas Sheriff, She died in 1691. On March 25th, 1638, he was admitted freeman in Boston ; two years later freeman in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. In 1639, he with eight others, signed a compact for the settlement of Newport, Rhode Island. September 2d, 1639, he was admitted freeman of Ne^\"port. In 1640, March 12th, he was appointed a member of the General Court of Elections. His will, proved 1680, leaves Martha, whom he calls " his beloved yoke-fellow," as his sole executor. George Lawton, of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, was admitted inhabitant of Aquidneck in 1638; he married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Hazard. In 1648 he was a member of the Court of Trials. In 1665, '72, '75, '76, ^79, '80, Deputy. His daughter, Mercy Lawton, married, January 19th, 1682, James Tripp, son of John Tripp and Su- sanna Paine. Mercy (Lawton) Tripp died in 1685.

James Tripp, son of John Tripp, was commissioned Ensign on December 25th, 1689, Dartmouth, Mass. (Plymouth Colonial Records, Vol. VI., page 223.) William Gayer, Esq., spelled also Geare, came from Devonshire, England, was a citizen of Nantucket, and died there on the 23d of September, 1710. He was Judge of Court of Common Pleas, appointed October 16th, 1696; September 7th, 1699; June 29th, 1702, and June 6th, 1706. He was also one of five Judges appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts, in 1704, in the trial of the Indian " Sabo " for the crime of mur- der. (Mass. Civil List, page 112; New England His. and Gen. Reg., Vol. XXXI., page 237.) William Gayer, of the firm of Gayer & Bunker, was especially able as a surveyor and " laid out plots." Edward Cartwright, the first of the Nantucket family of that name, came from the Isles of Shoals, near Ports- mouth, New Hampshire. He settled at Pocomo on Nantucket. He had two wives. By his will, dated 1705, he gives Pocomo, then owned by him, to his sons Nicholas, Samp- son, Edward, and wife Elizabeth. Sampson sold out in 1712 all but the house. Edward Cartwright, Sr., died September 2d, 1705. Elizabeth Cartwright, his widow, born Trott, sister of John Trott, died August 11th, 1729. (Town Records.) 148 Early Settlers of Nantucket. Degory Priest was the 29tli signer of the Mayflower compact. Prince says: " The year begins with the death of Degory Priest." " Priest is set down in the Leyden records as from London, and had been many years a member of the Leyden Company." " It is on record that he married, ISTovember, 1611, Sarah (Allerton) Vincent, widow of John Vincent; November, 1615, he was admitted a citizen of Leyden, and in April, 1619, he deposes that he is forty years of age and knows one Nicholas Claverly." (Leyden MS. Records.) "His widow married Cuthbert Cuthbertson, a Dutchman, who also was one of the Leyden Company, and Winslow calls him Godbert Godbertson, probably the name he owned in early life, and it met with changes which seemed to come to the Pilgrims, and those in marriage connected with them."

Swett won for himself a high rank among the heroes of the Colonial wars. He was always in that post which most required sagacity and courage." Moses Swett, son of Benjamin, was a commissioner on the boundaries between New Hampshire and Massa- chusetts, 1695. (Provincial papers of New Hampshire, Vol. II., page 168.) Richard Sears came to America in 1630 with the last of the Scrooby congregation of Leyden, and landed at Plymouth on May 8th. The tax rates at Plymouth indicate that he was pos- sessed of a large property. He was born in 1590, mar- ried Dorothy Thatcher in 1632, was a member of Ply- mouth Colonial Court in 1662, and died in 1676. Dorothy Sears died in 1680. Their later years were spent in Yarmouth, Mass. Rev. Barnes Sears, the fifth president of Brown Uni- versity, Providence, R.

She seems to have possessed many of the characteris- tics of Mary Starbuck. She was truly womanly, but firm and fearless in her convictions; living during a great crisis, she gave her strength, mentally and physi- cally, to the philanthropic work of righting every wrong which she believed lay in her path of duty. She was much beloved in the Religious Society of Friends, of which she was a member, and among whom she labored in the ministry for many years. Her association with JSTantucket was not abandoned because at an early age it ceased to be her residence. She visited it frequently, and continued in correspond- ence through many years with the earnest men and women who, like herself, battled in the cause of free- dom for the African race. A number of her letters to Kathaniel and Eliza Bar- ney, of Nantucket, are published by Mrs. Anna Davis Hallowell in the " Life and Letters of James and Lu- cretia Mott." Throughout these letters much interest is shown in every cause she loved, much energy dis- played in her desire for action, and much charity ex- pressed for those whose early influences had dwarfed or rendered extinct the spirit of philanthropy. id43 ccii. 338 b.

Paul Swift was born in Sandwich, Massachusetts, 1794. He was for some time a physician at Nantucket, where he is still remembered and respected. 174 Early Settlers of Nantucket. In 1841 he moved to Philadelphia, where he prac- ticed medicine until 1853, when he was appointed a teacher at Haverford School (soon after made a col- lege); he remained there until 1865, when he resigned on account of ill health. He died in Philadelphia in 1866. Daughters of Dr. Paul Swift and Dorcas (Gardner) Swift were: Mary, married, 1846, Mr. Edwin Lamson, of Boston. Katharine, married, first. Dr. Marcus A. Moore, of Boston; second, Mr, Robert Wharton. Susan, married Mr. Albert H. Franciscus, of Philadelphia. Elizabeth, married Mr. John E. Phillips, of Balti- more. As an explanation of the theory entertained by many descendants that Elizabeth Tilley was daughter of John Tilley and Bridget Van der Velde, we quote the following from the exceedingly interesting " Reg- ister," recently published by " order of The General Congress " of The Society of Mayflower Descendants. " John Tilley, the sixteenth signer of the Compact, came with his wife, whose name is unknown, and * Elizabeth, their daughter.' He was one of the ' 10 of their principall men ' who, with the boat's crew, made up the third and final party of exploration sent out from the Mayflower while at Provincetown Harbor. It is probable that he was a brother of Edward Tilley. Both he and his wife * dyed a little after they came ashore.' Dr. Henry M. Dexter in a note to his edition of Mourts Relation 1865, quotes from the Leyden MS Records, '13-23 February 1615 John Telley, silk worker of Leyden married Bridget Van der Velde.' She could not have been the mother of Elizabeth Til- ley who was born in 1607 and who married John How- Swift Family. 175 land, and the explicitness of Bradford's record of this daughter would indicate that the silk worker ' John Telley ' of Leyden was not identical with the May- flower Pilgrim. " Dr. Dexter wrote in 1888 that he was convinced that the Leyden record referred to another person. Until 1855 it was supposed through family tradition, that John Howland's wife was a daughter of Governor Carver, which gives some foundation for the belief that a relationship existed, and that Elizabeth Tilley may have been a granddaughter of the first Governor." CHAPTER XXIY. FAMILY OF WILLIAM EOTCH. Joseph Rotch was born in Salisbury, England, May 6tli, 1704, and went to Nantucket, subsequently to New Bedford, where he died, November 24th, 1784. He was interested in whale fishery so successfully carried on by his son, William Rotch. When the Revolutionary War broke out and the whaling business was practically ruined, William Rotch went to England, hoping to pursue the business there, but, meeting with little encouragement, finally went to Dunkirk, Erance, where special privileges from the Erench government were granted him. He carried on the business there until 1794, when he returned to Nantucket, and after a year's residence on the island, went to New Bedford and resided there un- til his death in 1828. His great-grandson, now living in New Bedford, says: "He was a consistent Friend and had the courage of his convictions. I have heard my great-aunt, Mary Rotch, tell the following story: " He was at Dunkirk at the time of the Napoleonic Wars; one day there came news of the great victory of Austerlitz. " Municipal orders were issued commanding every one to illuminate in honor of the event. My great- grandfather was true to his principles and refused to obey the order, though every house in the street was a blaze of light. " The good mayor of the city was very friendly with my grandfather and called to expostulate and if possible persuade him — fearing danger from the mob in those excited times, but Mr. Rotch refused. " * Well/ said the mayor, finally, ' the street belongs Family of William Botch. 177 to the city, and I will do what I can,' so he sent and pro- cured two large lanterns and had them placed directly in front of the house and detailed some gendarmes to walk up and down in front and explain to the people that those who lived there were not enemies, but good friendly people, who did not believe in war. " His daughter, Elizabeth Rotch, was a remarkable woman, living to the advanced age of ninety-nine, and when over ninety had never used the back of a chair, but sat erect without support." William Eotch is thus described by this grandson, who saw him when he himself was only four years of age : " He was a tall, venerable man with white hair and beard, and came into the room leaning on the back of a large arm chair on castors, attended by his black servant." The appended extracts from an account of William Eotch, recently published in " The American Friend," and written by Augustine Jones, Superintendent of Friends School, at Providence, Rhode Island, form a fitting supplement to the account given above : " William Rotch, a distinguished member of the So- ciety of Friends, was born in 1734, in the island of ]^antucket, Mass. His father, Joseph Rotch, his brother Francis, both Friends, were, like himself, largely interested in the whale fishery and shipping, early in ISTantucket and later in ISTew Bedford. This family did much to make ISTantucket for a time the greatest center of this fishery in the world. " William Rotch says: ' From the year 1775 to the end of the war we were in continual embarrassments. Our vessels were captured by the English, and our small vessels and boats, sent to the continent for pro- visions, denied and sent back empty under pretence that we supplied the British, which was without the least foundation. Prohibitory laws were often made in consequence of these reports, unfounded as they 178 Early Settlers of Nantucket. were. By this inhuman conduct we were sometimes in danger of being starved.' " He has given to us in his own language an inter- esting incident of his experience. . . .He had a lot of muskets taken for debt, with bayonets on them. He readily sold the muskets to whalers, who used them on their voyages to kill wild fowl. But he always reserved the bayonets, for their only use was to kill men. " The bayonets were neglected and forgotten, until an application was made for them from the continent for use in war. " He says : ' The time had now come to support our testimony against war or forever abandon it. As this very instrument was a severe test, I would not hesitate, and therefore promptly denied the applicant. My reasons for not furnishing the bayonets were de- manded, to which I readily answered: " As this in- strument is purposely made and used for the destruc- tion of mankind, and I cannot put into one man's hand to destroy another that which I cannot use myself in the same way, I refuse to comply with thy demand.' " The person left me much dissatisfied. Others came and received the same denial. It made a great noise in the country, and my life was threatened. I would gladly have beaten them into pruning hooks. As it was, I took an early opportunity of throwing them into the sea.' " The Committee of the General Court soon took him to Watertown for investigation. He says: ^I gave a full account of my proceedings and closed it by saying: " I sank them in the bottom of the sea, and I did it from principle. I have ever been glad that I had done it. If I have done wrong I am to be pitied." The chairman of the committee, one Major Hawley (a worthy character), then addressed the committee, and said: " I believe Mr. Botch has given us a candid account of the affair, and every man has a right to act consistently with his religious principles. But I am sorry we cannot have the bayonets, for we want them Family of William Botch. 179 very much." The major was desirous of knowing more of our Friend's principles, on which I informed him as far as he inquired. " ' In the year 1779, seven British armed vessels and transports, with troops from Newport, came to us. . . . They plundered us of much property — some from me.' Soon after, the town appointed a committee, consisting of William Rotch and two others, to represent its case to the commander of the army and navy. This commit- tee went at once to Ne-wport, where Captain Dawson commanded the navy and General Prescott the army. They succeeded, through great peril and extraordinary energy, in landing, against the protest of Captain Daw- son. William Rotch says : ' I got on shore in the after- noon and found that I must wait on General Prescott. Knowing his brittle temper, and being in the afternoon, I almost dreaded to appear in his presence. However, let my treatment be what it would, I desired the meet- ing over. " ' I was introduced by one of his aids. He received me very cordially, gave me his hand and said, " Mr. Rotch, will you have some dinner ? I can give you good bread, though the rebels say we have none." I thanked him, saying I had dined. " Well," said he, " will you have a glass of mne ? " ' He did not object to the wine — it was then in common use — but objected to the cere- monies. He said he meant no disrespect. ' General Prescott answered: " Oh, no; if a Quaker will be a Quaker, it is all I want of him." After some conversa- tion, I mentioned that I did not wish to intrude further on his time, and rose to retire. " Oh, no," says he, " you must take some coffee." I accepted his kindness and gladly retired.' " The committee could effect nothing, however, with- out going to New York, where they were well received and accomplished very much. He says: ' We applied to Sir Henry Clinton, through one of his aids. Major Andre, that fine young man who lost his life as a spy.' 180 Early Settlers of Nantucket. " William Rotch was the owner of the famous ship Bedford, of Nantucket, which had the honor of first displaying the American flag in British waters. There is a certain rich and racy relish to the following narra- tion of an English historian of the period, who seemed to chronicle with some disdain: " ' The ship " Bedford," Captain Mooers, belonging to the Massachusetts, arrived in the Downes on the 3d of February, 1783, and was reported at the custom house on the 6th instant. She was not allowed regular entry until some consultation had taken place between the commissioners of the customs and the Lords of Council, on account of the many acts of Parliament in force against the rebels of America. She was loaded with four hundred and eighty-seven butts of whale oil, is American-built, manned wholly by American sea- men, and belongs to the island of IsTantucket, in Massa- chusetts. This is the first vessel which has displayed the thirteen rebellious stripes of America in any British port.' — Barnard's ' History of England,' ' Cyclopcedia of United States History,' Vol. I., p. 493." " His brother Francis owned the ship Dartmouth, from which the tea was thrown into Boston harbor Twelfth month 16th, 1Y73. She was the first vessel built in New Bedford." William Rotch " was prominent, in 1784, in New England Yearly Meeting, being on the Executive Com- mittee which directed its business, and also on the com- mittee to consider the state of the Society and devise measures for improvement. This was the first year of the Providence Friends School, which began at Ports- mouth, R. I. He was a strong patron of it." b. 10. 4, 1734 -) d 188 m. 10. 31, 1754 Vc i. 229 d. J b.

There were two children, William and Lydia Wing Coleman, neither of whom married. The story is told of Lydia Wing Coleman, that on being invited to a party, she felt such a feminine re- luctance to appear in a white dress which had seen ser- vice on too many similar occasions, that she embroidered figures in red over the entire surface, and was enabled to attend the festivity apparently in a new gown. She was a woman of considerable ingenuity, a teacher, and left behind her a reputation that to the younger genera- tions was an example.

The daughter of Simeon Smith Bicknell, Lydia Ma- tilda Bicknell, married Norman Fox Hopkins. New England History and Genealogical Register, Vol. XIV., p. 373, gives the following account of Cap- tain Robert Waterman, of New Orleans, brother of Avis and Hepzibeth Waterman. He was born in 1785 and died April 29th, 1860: " He was a native of Nantucket, and, like most of those hardy islanders, followed the sea from boyhood, commencing at the age of eleven years. " For some time he commanded one of the packet ships between New York and Liverpool. He was a fine specimen of the American shipmaster of the old school, courageous, courteous and inflexibly honest."

Tristram Coffin Colcord was born in Epping, New Hampshire, October 15th, 1809, and died in Philadel- phia, April 5th, 1883. He was the first of his name in Philadelphia, coming here about 1830. He was asso- ciated with many corporations during his life, and at the time of his death was President of the Philadelphia City Passenger Railway Company, the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad Company and the Chestnut Hill Railroad Company. After coming to Philadelphia he dropped the name of Tristram and spelled his surname Colket, conforming to the usual pronunciation. He was therefore known in Philadelphia business cir- cles as Coffin Colket. He married, March 21, 1839, Mary Pennypacker Walker, b. in Chester County, Pa., Sept. 3, 1819.

Edward Colcord ^ from England arrived at Piscata- quay River, 1631 (Prov. Papers, N. H., 1, 110); Exeter, 1638; Dover, 1640; Hampton, 1644; died at Hampton, February 10th, 1681-2.

Samuel Colcord, son of Edward Colcord and Ann , was Representative, 1682 (Savage, I., 424); Grantee of Kingston (State Papers, New Hampshire, II., 131). Mary Ayer (wife of Samuel Colcord, of Kingston, N. H.) was daughter of Thomas Ayer, of Haverhill. The authority given for this is " Essex Registry of Deeds," Book 51, leaf 204, in which Mary Colcord and her husband, Samuel Colcord, convey land of her father, Thomas Ayer, of Haverhill, in 1725. b.

Elizabeth Hutchins was a daughter of John and Prances Hutchins, of Newbury. (Family Papers.) '' History of N'ewbury " gives Elizabeth among chil- dren of John and Frances Hutchins. Frances was once presented at court for wearing a silk hood, but was discharged " upon testimony of her being brought up above the ordinary ranker" (" History of Newbury," page 58.) The law permitted those only who were worth two hundred pounds to wear " a silk hood and scarfe." This was probably intended to ac- complish the same end as the rule laid down by the Quakers that Friends shall " be careful to live within the bounds of their circumstances." John Hutchins died February 6th, 1685-6; his widow, Frances, April 5th, 1694. CHAPTER XXXV. JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER The blood of more than one of the pioneers of !N"an- tucket flowed in the veins of the poet Whittier. The descent from Christopher Hussey, which was a tradition of the Whittier family, and was believed by the poet himself, appears upon late investigation to be without foundation. His ancestry has been traced to Richard Hussey, who possibly was a descendant of Christopher, but this is not probable. Thomas Whittier, the progenitor of the Whittier family, came from Wiltshire, England, in 1638, settled at l^ewbury, afterwards removed to Salis- bury, thence to Haverhill. He married Ruth Green, a relative of John Rolfe, who was associated with the proprietors of ISTantucket, and with Thomas Whittier came to America in the ship Confidence. Henry Rolfe, brother of John, in his will, dated " 15th 12th 1642," gave his "kinsman Thomas Whit- tier a swarme of bees." b. Dec. 17, 1807 -^ d. Sept. 7, 1892 J b. Nov. 22, 1760) m.

This connection gives Whittier another ancestor among the original proprietors of Nantucket. d. Jan. 18, 1^62-3 CHAPTER XXXVI. THE NATHAN BUNKEK FAMILY. This family was of Huguenot origin. The name for- merly was Bon Coeur. George Bunker, son of William, was drowned May 26th, 1658, at Topsfield, Mass., leaving a widow, Jane Godfrey Bunker, and several children. She married Eichard Swain, and they removed to JSTantucket, where have lived many Bunker descendants. I^athan Bunker ' of the prominent shipping firm of Lea & Bunker, who owned a large amount of shipping in Philadelphia at the beginning of the nineteenth cen- tury, was married, 1812, after the manner of Friends, to Elizabeth Thorne Clement, associating this branch with many families of Long Island, JSTew Jersey and Pennsylvania. The JSTathan Bunker line here given is accepted by many of the family. A question was raised concern- ing JSTathan Bunker's ^ father, Nathan Bunker, and a theory advanced that ISTathan ^ was son of AVilliam, but search in the Bunker MS. at Nantucket has disproved this, as by it one son only is attributed to William Bun- ker, and he died unmarried. The children of Nathan Bunker and Elizabeth Thorne Clement were : Hannah C. Bunker, who married James W. Paul, of Philadelphia, and three sisters, who married respec- tively Rear-Admiral Dahlgren, Amos Taylor and Hon. S. Abbott Lawrence, of Boston. 238 Early Settlers of Nantucket. b. 11. 8, 17 Id 11 b.

The Macy family was a close corporation for many years. Up to 1800 very few surnames appear, excepting such as may be classed among orthodox Nantucket names. Upon these many changes were rung.

To the home of Mr. Gardner they found their way, and were cleverly tracked by their pur- suers; not less clever was the man who sheltered them, adroitly engaging in conversation at his front door those who sought the poor, aged colored man and wife, until the couple had been dis- guised and helped to escape by the back door. When this was accomplished Mr. Gardner invited the pur- suers to search the premises, but the slaves were well out of the way and were sheltered by other friends; they lived many years on Nantucket.

Samuel May, who, on the Sunday following Mr. Garrison's speech, in the Unitarian Church on Summer Street, Boston, preached the first sermon delivered under the " new crusade." Frederick Douglass also was present at the meeting convened by Miss Gardner, and at that time made his first speech in a cause for which in later years he labored bo earnestly.

In what was known as old style, the year began March 25, and when the new or present style was adopted many were not pleased with the innovation; recorders therefore accommo- dated themselves to the caprice of the people, and gave the date in accordance with both methods. This will account for any dis- crepancy covering not more than three months. Note. — William C. Folger, whose MSS. are here quoted, was Corresponding Member of the New England Genealogical So- ciety, and prepared a number of Nantucket Genealogical notes for Savage. ^<-Z-,a-a.-<^^ ^^/r,€v^ ^,o^i^ ^^^y^-eUxZ> l/lnruIZ, r^. ^^■J> /^^i «V>sfe 1 ' i ^- 3 x...,rs..j_._^j^x.! \ -."5 -— \ \ A ^^ ^. » > V^^!!^ V-VK'v- ;' vsLyv>jsj^ o. ■ r- >«>>fA ^^>*'-J\>s- ff APPENDIX II. APPENDIX II. The break in the records connecting the early Norman CoflBns with Tristram Coffin's family has never been satisfactorily filled, and much time and money has already been expended in the effort to do this; it is not likely that it will be accomplished unless some new place of abode of this family is discovered which may present new records and information. The country in which they were known to have lived has been thoroughly looked over, and its records exhaustively examined. The genealogical table following is the earliest data in direct line of which there is absolute record. The following extracts from The Exeter District Probate Reg- istry are offered as evidence that Tristram Coffin had more edu- cation than many of his contemporaries: " 1628 April 3 The Will dated 4 January 1627-8 of John Coffin of Brixton Devon w'as proved in the court of the adn of Totnes. The Testator gave to the Poor of Brixton 10/ — Joan, Deborah, Eunice, and Mary Coffin 20/ — each at 12 years old. Mathue Simnell 10/ — John Coffin £10 at 12 Tristram Coffin all residue, and he apptd him Executor. " The testator made his mark and the Will was sealed in the presence of Hennery Tammas *Maethal Simnell •"Doubtful "The Inventory enclosed in the bundle is that person as i n of Peter Coffyn, taken 5 March 1627-8 by Richard notf the witness Worth Clerk ; Phillip Avent, and George Roper sTmnTiu'^'B'y £236,5,7 and it included chatties on years and lifes another paper it fiRn is 'Martha' and *^""- she is also the " The legal proceedings were taken by Nicholas person to whom o t- o ./ the 10s. is given Coffin and Ann Winson or (Wynson) alias Coffin brother and sister of the testator, against the Ex- ecutor and were apparently commenced at Plimp- ton on 17 January 1627-8. 310 Early Settlers of Nantucket. " The answers of the two witnesses to the inter- rogatories administered on the part of the promo- ters of the suit go to show " THAT the testator and Martha Simnell could read but not writ«, that Henry Thomas could neither read nor write and that Tristram Coffin could do both. THAT the Will was written by Tristram on a certain Friday evening in an upper chamber of the testators house where he (the testator) was lying sick. THAT the WDl was read by testator himself and sealed by him with a key and that he and the witnesses made their marks and that all their names were written by Tristram, THAT the reason why the Will was written by Tristram was that there was no one else present who could write and that he could not get any other to write it, as the sickness was very infec- tious. THAT the allegation was that two or three days before New Years Day then last past John Coffin the testator instructed Tristram to make his Will and told him that Nicholas Coffin his (testa- tor) brother's son should be Executor, and that in- stead of acting on these instructions Tristram put in his own name and that when the testator read jjo^h^o^aper is ^he Will so drawn he tore the paper.* " At the hearing however the promoters did not appear and sentance was pronounced for the will propounded by Tristram on 2 April 1628." It would appear from the above that the effort to prove Tris- tram at fault was unavailing, and from the fact that the paper was not torn, we conclude Tristram was the executor his uncle John Coffin intended. to 2 (n 2 5- =• 3 o- ^ ^ 3 =?

Copied from tlie original Coffin School JJedai. Appendix. 313 The fact that this picture of " 1642 " has been supposed by- some descendants of Tristram Coffin to be an authentic copy from an original representation of the first Chief Magistrate of Nantucket, led to a query concerning it. The appended reply explains its existence, and gives interesting facts concerning the medals which Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin be- stowed upon the trustees of the Coffin School. The interest in education, which had already made consider- able progress, was stimulated by him. This interest continued for many years, during which time the schools of Nantucket were second to none in that vicinity. October 17th, 1901. Dear Mrs. Hinchman: The photo you name of Tristram Coffin is copied from one side of the Coffin School Medal, and is wholly ideal. The medal is about two inches in diameter, so the photograph is much en- larged. There were quite a number of medals struck in bronze, and one, I have seen, white metal. Each of the original trustees of the school had one. The Ad- miral had them struels in England after the school was estab- lished, and forwarded to the island. In his letter accompanying them he said the gilt one is for the President of the Trustees. It was at that time supposed to be gold and for transmission to succeeding Presidents; while in the possession of one of the later Presidents it was stolen by one of his juvenile relatives, who also believed it to be gold and tried to melt it into an ingot. He could not get heat enough to melt the bronze, but succeeded only in burning off the gilt. I have a number of them in a good state of preservation. One was recently found in San Francisco while excavating for a foundation. It was on a site where a Nantucket man had lived in the rugged days of California life and lost it. I cannot now recall who the person was, but I published an article on it at the time in response to an inquiry in a San Fran- cisco paper, which gave pictures of both sides of the medal. I made a plaster cast of one many years ago, and succeeded in moulding a rough copy in base metal, which I subsequently deposited with the Nantucket Historical Society. The little photos of some half dozen ancient paintings of mem- bers of the Coffin family were copied from painted portraits then 314 Appendix. adorning the walls of the Portledge Manor House, near Bid- eford. County Devon, England, and are true to life as the painter artist could make, but there is no portrait nor personal descrip- tion of our ancestor, Tristram CofRn, that I have ever seen, and 1 know of but one genuine autograph extant in Nantucket in all the public records and documents I have examined. The costume upon the medal was doubtless made up from a knowledge of what constituted the dress of the period of 1642, the year Tristram emigi-ated from England. 1 have discussed that period in my life of T. C. to some ex- tent, and I have fallen upon nothing historical since the Coflin Reunion that would change my estimate of Tristram prior to his emigration to America nor of his career in America. Very respectfully, Allen Coffin. .'# Richard Coffin, Esq., of Port ledge. Sheriff of Devonshire in idgg.
