A genealogy usually has little of interest to those whose names do not appear in it; this is likely to be no exception; and, probably, the interest of the majority will be only in what relates to their individual families, or their line of descent. It has been prepared especially for the descendants of the Honorable Francis Fulham of Weston. Massachusetts, born at Fulham, a parish of London, England; and. in conformity to the method of its designer, it contains all that is known of him and his ancestry; and what has been learned of his progeny, of whatever name, that can interest the family in general or the individuals composing it. The facts as to past generations have been gathered from trustworthy sources; and what relates to those now or lately living is from their own narration, or from narratives of relatives or familiar friends. The substance of what has been furnished by all is inserted, without intent to glorify any, and suppressing nothing that can contribute to a general knowledge of the history and character- istics of the family; that all may find what is of interest to them. In 1S45 the Author's father began to record facts as to the family, stored in his marvelous memory from childhood. Beginning with the narratives of his grand- father Timothy Fulham. born in Weston, and 16 years old when Francis Fulham died, he added what afterwards was acquired, intending to publish all. After his death, the manuscript came to the Author, who, to save from oblivion that of which there was no other record, and finish the undertaking according to his father's wish, took up the work, and now presents the result to his kindred. The assembling of names and dates to show a line of descent from an early pro- genitor can benefit no one. unless it be shown that qualities worthy of emulation in him have appeared in later generations, and may become an incentive to meri- torious achievement in the present. No attempt has been made to demonstrate the existence of such qualities, or to withhold knowledge of their opposites here; and no general search has been made for family characteristics, peculiar or dis- tinctive; but individual traits are illustrated or described; and an attentive perusal will discover here physical and mental qualities, which appear so often, and in so many branches of the family, related only through remote common ancestors, as to illustrate the fact of heredity, and furnish proof of identity in a line of descent, where the evidence is incomplete, because limited to similarity in names, ages, and related circumstances, without direct record evidence or tradition as to the parentage, or the date or place of birth of one in that line. Francis Fulham was a large and a very powerful man. At the age of 14, he was in the Province of Massachusetts Bay, without money, relatives, friends, or the means of obtaining an education; but he became the most prominent man of the town in which he lived; he held many offices of honor and trust; and. finally, he was appointed by the Governor and Council to the bench of a court of record; a position which he held for llG consecutive years, during the last 14 of which he was Chief Justice; and which he resigned at the age of So, having exercised 2 INTRODUCTION. the duties' of his several appointments so well as to receive the commendation of his contemporaries, as appears in books and records accessible to all. His physical strength has been exceeded, and his mental povs^ers have been equalled, at least, by some of his descendants. Wherever inquiry has been made, great physical strength, among both men and women, has been found in every branch of the family; one being known as "the strongest man in town," or celebrated for feats of strength or agility, or for great endurance. Peculiarly formed hands, seldom found elsewhere, appear in the family, and, as far as observed, in conjunction with unusual physical strength. In these the bones to which the fingers are attached are so nearly of a length as to give the fist an appearance of squareness, forming a right angle at the little finger joint, and producing a continuous line across the palm, under the joints, as shown in the annexed cut of a hand of each of two, a man and a woman, so nearly alike as scarcely to be distinguishable except by their relative size. The bearers of these hands, originally, were named Fulham. Their names are at Fulham 508 and Graham 35, with particulars as to the early development and strength of each. The same mark appears in the hands of the husband of the woman, — Graham 35. her second cousin, and one of the strongest of his generation in the family. These three are g.g.g.grandchildren of Jacob Fulham — 6, their nearest common ancestor; and it will be interesting to observe whether, when found in other members of the family, the Fulham hand is associated with the quality, so remarkable in this herculean ancestor, in his time, called the strongest man in New England. A criterion of the physical stamina of a family is the age to which its members live. Of 5,088 descendants from Francis Fulham mentioned, enough deaths are recorded to make, with those laiown to be living after 75 years, 1,027. Of these, 181, more than 17 per cent, have lived beyond that age, with an average exceeding 83 years 2 months. Such longevity can result only from an inherit- ance of sound constitutions, and upright, temperate living. They are classified, with their ages, surnames, and serial numberings, as follows: — In 100th year: Harris 185, Trowbridge 7. 99th y.: Mills 3, 5. 98th y.: Ful- ham 67. 96th y.: Fulham 118, Mills 11. 95th y.: Fulham 41, Harris 140, 164. 94th y.: Dickerson 1, Draper 2, Harris 47, 54, 167. 93d y.: Fulham 3, Curtis 1, Gilbert 2, Moore 16, Park 2. 92d y.: Harris 149, 159, 222; Moore 14. 91st y.: Fulham 48, 58; Harris 171, Moore 9, Packard 3. 90th y.: Fulham 7, Boyd 1, Dwight 16, Harris 142, Moore 30, Packard 6. 89th y.: Fulham 18, 205; Boyd 40, Curtis 8, Dana 14, 16; Harris 155, 173; Moore 12, 36. 88th y.: Fulham 1, 12, 63, 104, 151; Chase 12. 87th y.: Fulham 84, 121; Allen 57, Curtis 15, Dana 3, Harris 165, Snow 2. 86th y.: Fulham 87, 206; Dana 11, Dwight 18, Bggleston 6, Parkhurst 1. 85th y.: Fulham 33, 109; Allen 24, 58; Dickerson 8, Harris 137, 202; Moore 20. 84th y.: Fulham 25, 85, 156; Allen 12, Bassett 2, Dickerson 28, Moore 44, Postal 7, Stone 2. 83d y.: Fulham 36, 47, 225; Bassett 26, Belden 1, Chase 4, 14; Eggleston 4, Mills 7, Moore 35, Packard 2, Phelps 8. 82d y.: Ful- ham 4, 137, 278; Day 3, Dickerson 2, 4, 9; Gordon 5, Harris 209, Miles 2. 81st y.: Fulham 86, 96, 103, 108, 184; Allen 38, Bassett 9, Curtis 13, Dana 15.

Mills 3, Park 11, Robinson IS, Wheelock 2. Francis Fulham was a Colonel of Militia; and, beginning with his only son Jacob, killed in Lovewell's Fight, his descendants have served in all after wars of the Colonies and the United States, in positions, from boys of fifteen in the ranks to a lieutenant general in command of the Army. They have also held commissions in the navy. There are instances in which untisual intellectual gifts have been shown. Presidents and professors in colleges, scholars, lawyers, clergymen, artists, inventors, musicians, and others, whose ability has been recognized by the public, have appeared. And, in at least one line, remarkable memories, sometimes in every member of a family, have been known as far back as tradition extends. In Fulham 277 there was added to this the ability to remember what was said while sleeping as perfectly as when awake, if atten- tion was fixed on the subject when falling asleep. In another — Fulham 508, appears a sort of doublemiudedness, perhaps the independent action of the two sides of the brain at the same time. "While reciting a familiar poem or other literature, counting or engaged in other mental activity requiring no effort, if attention is called to another subject, when that is disposed of, it is found that the recitation or counting has proceeded unconsciously meantime; and it is consciously continued from the point to which it has advanced, without effort or intention. Whether either of these traits occur elsewhere in the family often enough to constitute one of its characteristics may be judged by observation. The author would like to learn of the occurrence of either of them or the possession of the Fulliain hand shown in the cut, in any branch of the family. The resistance of George Fulham. D. D. (e), Fellow of Magdalene College, Oxford, "of the intention of King James the Second to introduce a Roman Catholic as head of that College," resulting in his own expulsion, indicates a quality often found in the Fulhams of America, an inflexible determination to maintain the right, regardless of consequences; and to submit tamely to no wrong or injustice. Francis Fulham — 1, began a suit and recovered 9 pounds 12 shillings and costs, in his 88th year. Sewall Fulham — 277, fought his way into Windsor County Bar, contrary to the rules of court, at the age of 37. Timothy Sherman Fulham — 310, declined to give up the church of his choice for the sake of marrying a woman that he loved as long as he lived. And many similar instances may be found. Unstinted endeavour to avoid errors in names and dates probably leaves some imperfect, principally the result of uncertainty as to letters or numerals in records. Appeals for additional information, sometimes, have been disregarded. INTRODUCTION. EXPLANATIONS The arrangement of the Genealogy places the Fulhams first, followed in alpha- betical order, by families springing from or connected by marriage with them. Roman numeral in parenthesis, before a name in capitals, indicates tlie genera- tion of the person named, in descent from "(I.) FRANCIS FULHAM," or from the first known ancestor of the person whose name is capitalized. Arabic numerals in parenthesis, next after a surname, refer to that number in a series at the left of a page, at the top of which that surname is found. Where a date in parenthesis is followed by a later date, the dates in both Old and New Style are given. Dates earlier than Sep. 2, 1752, unless in quota- tion marks, have been conformed to New Style. A surname in parenthesis is that of a woman before lier marriage. Names of brothers and sisters are in the same kind of type; and, where each has a line or more, the numerals showing their order are in a perpendicular line. Husbands and wives, after the first, with names in smaller letters, had no children. Names without serial numbers were added after the numbering. The names of all having Fulham blood will be found in the Index.

Till". I'TLMAM (^.FA'KALOC.V Like many suriianu-s assumed by men of a common stock Lo disLiuguish them from others, P"'ulham is presumed to be the name of the place where the head of the family lived. It is not known wiien this became a family name, but the manor of Fulham is one of the oldest in EuKland. Two other places bearing the name appear on the map of Great Britain: one is in the southern part of Norfolk County; the other, Fulham House, in Womersley, near Pontefract, about a niilc trdin Womersley Station, on a main mad naiiUMl {""ulliain Lane, with meadows called Fulham Ings, appears once to have been a place of some importance, from the following entry in the Elizabethan Act Book for the Deanery of Pontefract, in the York Probate Registry: "1572-3 Jan, 18, Then issued probate of the will of George Thompson nup de ffulham." The name is conjectured to be a modification of the Saxon "Fullonham," home of fowls, originally given to a tract of about eleven square miles, on the north bank of the Thames, five and a half miles south-west from St. Paul's Church, London, whose many groves were the home of birds. Fulham is a parish, having an old palace of the Bishop of London, and a manor house, probably in use before the Norman Conquest. It was granted about A. D. 631, by the name "Fulanham, " to Erkenwald, Bishop of London and his successors, by Tyrhtilus, Bishop of Hereford, with the consent of Sigehard, King of the East Saxons, and Coenred, King of the Murcians; and it has re- mained ever since an appendange of the see.* The only known genealogy of the Fulhams, before this, is in "CoUectania Topographica et Genealogica," published by the Society of Antiquaries at West- minster in 1S34: viz.: "Pedigree of the Fulham Family, of Compton, near Guildford in Surrey;" from which— p. 17, it appears that this family, "Now- extinct in the male line," was "Chiefly devoted to the Church of England, in which they possessed many livings and other preferments." (a) "John Fulham of Hope under Dynmore, co. Heref.," in the sixteenth century, was the progenitor of this family, and is the only one of his generation mentioned in the "Pedigree." (b) Edward Fulham, son of .John Fulham of Hope lat, was Surveyor of West- minster Abbey; and is the only one of his generation mentioned. (c) Edward Fulham, D. D., son of Edward the Surveyor (b). and the only one of his generation mentioned, was born in 1G04, and died Dec. 9, 1G94, aet. 90. He was "Proctor of the University of Oxford, 1639; Rector of Wotton near Oxford. l<;il: installed 12 July 1660 first Canon of Windsor: 1 August, created ♦See "Old and New London," Vol. 6, p. 512; and "An Historical and Topographical Account of Ful- ham, -" I^ondon: iSi;,; pape i^'v^. with the g:rant in these words: "Huic (}-;rkeiiwald 1 latifun- dia in loco qui dicitur Hulanhaiii Sc. terrain so niaiientiiiin cum consensu Sigehardi Ke];;is Kast Saxonuni. et Coenredi Regis uierciorutn Tyrhtilus Kpiscopus dedisse dicitur in vetusto eccles.

In 1667 he purchased the manor of Compton Eastbury." He mar- ried Margaret, daughter of Sir Robert Clarke, Knt. of Oxfordshire, by whom he had four sons, Edward (d), George (e), Samuel (f), and John (g). In N. E. Hist. & Gen. Register, Vol. 44, page 302, occurs this: "John (Bancroft) Bishop of Oxford in his will 31 August 1639, proved 5 June 1641, enjoins that his body shall be buried in Cuddesdon Chancel and desires his chaplains Mr. Fulham or Mr. Washington to preach in Cuddesdon Church, and 'to make such mention of me as may tend to God's glory—.' Evelyn, 80, (P. P. C.)." This Chaplain Fulham is Edward Fulham, D. D., Proctor of Oxford University (c). (d) Edward Fulham, first son of the Proctor (c), "d. 6 Feb. 1688," was "Rector of West Ildesley, Prebendary of Wellington in the Church of Litch- field, 1673. — See Manning and Bray's History of Surrey, vol. ii, p. 5." He "mar. daur. of Sir John Stonehouse, of Oxfordshire, Bart." No children are mentioned. (e) George Fulham, D. D., "d. 23 Nov. 1702," second son of the Proctor (c), was "Instituted Rector of Compton in 1684; Prebendary of Winchester in 1692, and Rector of St, Mary, Southampton; 1700 Archdeacon of Winchester. He was Fellow of Magdalene College, Oxford; and was one of those who stoutly resisted the intention of King James the Second to introduce a Roman Catholic as head of that College: but I suppose was expelled, and in the Revolution, when William the Third was King, it is probable that he had a stall given him in that Cathe- dral as a recompense for what he had lost at the College." He married Katherine "One of the three daughters of George Evelyn, the son and heir- apparent of George Evelyn Esq. of Wotton, the latter being the elder brother of the so much celebi'ated John Evelyn, the publication of whose memoirs from his own MSS. has been so well received by the public. George Evelyn, her father, died in his father's lifetime, leaving by his wife three daughters. The male branch being likely to fail, leaving only daughters, George Evelyn the father made a new settlement of the Wotton estate in favor of a younger brother, the celebrated John Evelyn, sub.iect to the payment of about 5000 1 to each of these three daughters, . . . which money was paid on John Evelyn coming into possession of the Wotton estate under the new limitation. — See Evelyn's Memoirs, vol. ii, p. 65, 4to edit. Mrs. Fulham was buried in Winchester Cathedral, where there is a tablet erected to her memory — ." He had one child "George died 6 March 1710 aged 2 months," and "Buried in Winchester Cathe- dral by the side of his mother." (f) Samuel Fulham, third son of the Proctor (c), died January 1674. He was "A Leghorn merchant." (g) John Fulham, M. P., fourth son of the Proctor (c), "died 25 April 1726, aet. 64." He was "Appointed Recorder of Guildford (near Compton in Surrey) 4th Oct. 1703; was M. P. for Haslemere in 1705 and 1707; this was probably owing to his friendship with the Molyneaux family, who were at that time Patrons of this Borough." The following extract from "Records of Town Coun- FULIIAM. 7 cil" of Guildford, is from "Tlio Histories and Antiquities of Surrey," printed in London 1SU4. Vol. 1, p. 40: "Kiuf; James I. by his Letters patent dated at Hatfield, 30 Aug. Ao. regni lo. in which he granted to this Corporation the Com- mission of the Peace, impowered them likewise to elect annually, on the day on which the Mayor should be elected, some one person learned in the Laws to be of council with the Mayor and approved men in matters relating to the Cor- poration; in consequence whereof the following Gentlemen have been Appointed to that office since the date of this Charter, viz. ... 2 Ann ITO."] John Fulham, Esq. of Conipton: resigned." The resignation was occasioned by his becoming Recorder of (Juildford. He "married 19 May, 1G87, Anne dau. of Robt. Waith," buried at Compton "23 Oct. 1720," by whom he had two sons, Edward (h) and John (i); and two daughters, Mary (j) and one whose name is not given (k).

SO"; was "Institnted Rector of Compton 1722 and Merrow in 1736, to the latter of which he was presented by Thomas Lord Onslow the patron. In 1746 he was appointed Prebendary of Heathfield in the cathedral of Chichester, and Archdeacon of Landaff, in 1750 one of the Canons of Windsor, having been Chaplain to Arthur Onslow, Esq. Speaker of the House of Com- mons; he was Rector of Conipton 55 years." He married "1, Eliz. da. of Wicks relict of Sir Dudley cuUum, Bt. she died 22 Jan. 1737"; and he married "2, Sarah, dau. of Charles Greene Esq. grdd. Thos. Greene Bp. of Ely; d. 3.

In Compton Church is an inscription to "Mary, wife of Mr. Fulham Turner, of Guildford, and daughter of Mr. William Wyatt, of Felpham, Sussex. She died Oct. 29, 1790, aged 53 years. — Manning and Bray's History of Surrey, vol. ii, p. 13." (k) A dau. of John Fulham, M. P. (g), "mar. Mr. Mariat. a medical gent, of Guildford, who by the interest of the Onslow family obtained a Land-waiter's place in the Custom House London." (1) John Fulham, A. M., third son of Archdeacon John Fulham, Rector of Compton (i), was educated at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge; 14 April 1768 "Instituted Rector of Coddingsfold in Goldemere, to which he was presented bj' his great uncle. Dr. Thomas Greene, Dean of Salisbury, to which Deanery this presentation and that of St. Nicholas Guildford belonged. He was also Chaplain in Ordinary to the King." He "died of the small pox at Chelsea, 14 Nov. 1772, in the 29th year of his age." (m) Edward Fulham, M. A., fourth son of Archdeacon John Fulham, Rector of Compton (1), is said in "Topographical History of Surrey" to have been 8 FULHAM. "Inst, the 3d of April 1777" Rector of Loseley Chapel. He was "In 1777 insti- tuted Rector of St. Nicholas, Guildford, to which he was presented by his grand uncle Dr. Greene, Dean of Salisbury, on the death of Dr. Gilbert. He also in- herited the family estate at Compton, where he resided and died unmarried," "1 June 1832, aet. 84." "In the ornamentation and improving of which he took great delight, and had made it a much admired situation." (n) Katharine Fulham, dau. of John Fulham (i) married Thomas Parsons. In "County Genealogies Pedigrees of Surrey, England," — p. 78, it is said: "Elizabeth Evelyn, daughter of George and Mary, grand-daughter of Richard and Eleanor married Rev. Dr. Fulham." Elizabeth, apparently was a daughter of George Evelyn, Senior of Wotton, and aunt of Katharine Evelyn, who married George Fulham, D. D. (e) ; and her husband. Dr. Fulham (o), was unknown to W. Bray, author of the "Pedigree of the Family of Fulham of Compton, Surrey." The author of the "Pedigree" says: "The earliest knowledge that I have of them does not begin before the time of James the First, but from that time I believe it to be perfectly complete." The reign of James the First began in 1603, the year before Edward Fulham, D. D., Pi'octor of the University of Oxford, was born. This Edward (c) had four sons, and it is not to be presumed that his father the Surveyor of Westminster Abbey, and his grandfather John Fulham of Hope under Dynmore, had only one son each; the probability is that both the father and the grandfather had other sons. W. Bray had no knowledge of "Rev. Dr. Fulham" (o), who married Elizabeth Evelyn; which shows that his knowl- edge of the family during the period mentioned was not "Perfectly complete." Members of the family that came to America from Ireland, spelling the name "Fulham," have a tradition that their ancestors went from England. Their features indicate their English descent, and all such must have sprung from those bearing the name of Fulham on the Thames. Irish spelling their name "Fullam" are evidently of another stock, having no tradition of an English extraction. During the plague of 1665, by which more than one-third of the inhabitants of London perished; and the fire of 1666, in which five-sixths of the city was de- stroyed, it is said that many ancient records of London and vicinity were either burned to prevent infection; removed for safety; or consumed in the final con- flagration. Whatever the cause, no Parish Records of an earlier date than 1675 remain at Fulham; and the attempt to trace backwards the lineage of Francis Fulham, the immigrant to New England, has been fruitless. It is the duty of a Proctor to preserve order among the students of a college or university. Proctor Fulham of Oxford lived to the age of ninety years, and if he had the physical strength of either of the first three men that bore the name in New England, he was well fitted for the undertaking. The writer of the "Pedigree" disclaims knowledge of the family before the birth of Proctor Ful- ham; his knowledge since then is shown to be defective; his research, appar- ently, was made for the purpose of preparing an article for a book containing similar productions as to families supposed to be extinct in the male line in i-n.llAM. 9 EnKliiiul; and Francis Fiilliaiii pioljahly dcst t-ndcd from a luother of Proctor Fnlhani or one ol" the Proitor's sons, the retord of his desteni having; been de- stroyed, and never coming to the knowIedRe of the author of tiie "Pedigree." The lainily iiainc lias undergone strange transformation here. From "Ful- ham." the name of the phice of its origin, the si)el!ing lias been varied in every way possible to the alphabet. The tonimon imliuation of the English to silence the aspirate of unaciented syllables, in speaking, and the tendency of those unacquainted with a name to spell it as they hear it pronounced, would lead naturally to the substitution of "1" for "h" in Fulham when written by one to whom the name was new, in early times; and it never has been common ia America. The muster rolls of eighteenth century wars show seven varieties, thus: Fulham. Fullham, Fullam, Fulleni, Fullim. FuUom. and Fullum, appar- ently written as the name was made to sound in the ears of different enlisting ofTicers, the name of the same person being differently spelled in unconnected rolls; and the name of the immigrant had four spellings in records of his official acts. Rev. Pension Certificates probably would have the spelling found in rolls furnishing the evidence on which they were granted; this would lead the pen- sioner to spell the name as written in his certificate, at the semi-annual draw- ing; and, for consistency, in all other writings; and the spelling of fathers, adopted by their children, would account for the three forms now used by those bearing the name. In the records of Watertown, Ms., and those of Weston after it became a separate township, the name is generally written "Fullam." The records of marriages, births, and deaths in the Town Clerk's office of Weston mention two marriages in the family by "Wm. Williams minister of ye Gospel in sd. Weston"; one "Ye 2Sth Day of Febr. 1715-lG," and one "Ye 3i)th Day of January 1717." in which the name is written "Fullam"; but the first record there of a marriage by "Francis Fulham Esq." on "The 9th day of April 1719," has the spelling Fulham. of which the parson seems to have taken notice, for, the next three marriages in the family by Wm. Williams, "Sarah Fulham" and "^fary Fulham." "May 3(1, 1721"; and the second marriage of "Francis Fulham Esq." "Octr. 1st, 1724"; show the original spelling "Fulham," by him. as do all his subsequent records. The records of proceedings of the Great and General Court, of which he was 14 times a member, frequently have the name "Fullam"; but, with one exception, the official lists of Representatives have it "Fulham." In the records of the court of which he was a Judge the name is spelled in two ways; but in the records of his appointments to that office by the Governor and Council, it is always written "Fulham." In the Parish Records of Weston ch. l>etween 1709 and 1757, the name is always Fulham; and these include all the births, marriages, and deaths in the family at Weston during that period, the last being the christening of "Lucy Daughr. of Elisha and Sarah Fulham." And in "Bond's Genealogies of . . . Weston" the name appears only as "Fulham." On the death of his only son, Jacob, Judge Fulham took Jacob's eldest son Francis, then 8 years old, into his own family, where he lived until his mar- riage fifteen years after. Timothy, eldest son of Francis 2d, and born in Weston. 1(1 FULHAM. was 16 years old when his g.grandfather, Judge Fulham died; and had oppor- tunity to learn what was most important in the history of this ancestor. Sewall, the Author's father, and grandson of Timothy, during several years of his child- hood, was a member of this grandfather's family, and knew him intimately for thirty years; and from this association, from his grandfather Josiah Harris (150), also a gr.grandson of Judge Fulham, Oliver Whitney of Cavendish, Vt., a Mrs. Beverstock, and from other people, that knew Judge Fulham in their youth, Sewall gathered and recorded the most credible information, possibly to be had in unwritten form, of his ancestors throngh five generations, including Judge Francis Ftilham. Sewall, like those ancestors, possessed a remarkable memory, which, with him, seemed never to lose any fact worth preserving; and, besides what is contained in his records, through years of the most intimate association, he communicated to his son, the Author, much that, it is hoped, will prove of interest to the descendants of Judge Francis Fulham, as to the early generations of the Fulhams in America. The first known record of a Fulham in America is contained in "The Original Lists," of immigrants &c., published at London, 1874, p. 195, where appears, among "Names of the Dead in Virginia ... At Elizabeth City (feb. 16, 1623), Thomas Fulham." It is not supposed that any descendant of this Thomas Fulham is living here; and it is presumed that all the family of direct English descent, now in America, have sprung from THE HONORABLE FRANCIS FULHAM. (The name also spelled Fullam and Fullum in America). 1 (I.) FRANCIS FULHAM, from London, England, died in Weston, Ms., Jan. 15, 1758, in his 88th year. No record of his nativity, made in his lifetime, is known. The Author's father, in writing of this ancestor five generations before him says: "Francis Fulham was born at Fulham's Place near London, England, in the year 1669; when about fourteen years old he was sent to America by his brothers — his father being dead — to be educated at Harvard College; the man with whom he was intrusted kept the money (lOOL Sterling) sent to pay the expense of his education." Substantially the same account is current in Weston, but there, the sum of money is said to have been 500L. Either amount at that time would have been abundant for the purpose, and the inference is that the family was wealthy. No "Fulham's Place near London" is known, but the suburb Fulham, five and a half miles south-west from St. Paul's Church, is near Westminster Abbey; and Edward Fulham (b). Surveyor of the Abbey, may have had another son, a grandson, or a descendant of a later generation, not known to the author of the "Pedigree," living at Fulham when Francis was born, who, like those named in the Pedigree, also descended from the Surveyor, was "Devoted to the Church of England," and was the father of Francis, a younger son, whose brothers were clergymen. This is made more probable by the circumstance that the fund for the educa- tion of Francis was the joint contribution of "his brothers." Under the Law FULHAM. 1 1 of PriniOKonituro in Kn^ilaiid, by which the eldest son inherits the fatlier's estate to the exclusion of the other children, it may be expected that he will provide for the education of an infant younner brother, the other brothers, ordinarily, hu kinu the nieuns; :iinl when, as in this case, the brothers contribute jointly to that end, each must be presumed to have a separate imome, such as would arise from connection with the established church, in which they, like those named in the Pedigree, possessed "Jviviugs and other preferments." The omission of the first "a" from "Palace" changes it to "Place," and, since no known early manuscrijit containing either word is preserved; and, if such once existed, in the elaborate chirography of the eighteenth century with its ornaments and abbreviations, it would be easy to mistake the one for the other; and as the pronunciation of "Palace" after the manner of many Englishmen, in speaking other words, by which a syllable is often made to disappear, might produce a like result in the speech of those unacquainted with the existence of an old palace of the Bishop of London, or "Fulham's Palace," near London; and with the fact that a branch of the family "Chiefly devoted to the Church of England," and descended from Edward Fulham, Surveyor of Westminster Abbey, was then in being; it is reasonable to infer that Francis was born at Fulham's Palace; but there remains no record of him there; and, on account of the absence from Fulham of all Parish Record for the years preceding and those immediately following it, neither the place nor the date of his birth can be stated with certainty. It is not supposed that Francis Fulham was connected with "The Establish- ment" after he came to America, there being no church of that kind near him; but, after his marriage, he joined a church in the adjoining town of Sudbury, although his wife was never a member there; he was transferred to the Weston church at its organization in 1709; and his lifelong connection with that, with his undoubtedly high Christian character, indicate an early religious training. There is nothing to designate 1GG9 as the year of Francis Fulham's birth ex- cepting the inscription on his tombstone in the old cemetery of Weston, where it was said that, he "Died January ye 15, 1757, in ye 8Sth year of his age." As his will among the archives of the Probate Court in East Cambridge bears date "The twelfth day of December" in that year, it is evident that the date on his tombstone was according to "Old Style," then lately superseded, by which the year ended with March 24th; that the true date of his death is January 15, 1758; and that, as he was then in his SSth year, allowing 10 days for the differ- ence in the two styles during the seventeenth century, his birth was in the year following "January 5th, 1GG9-70, 0. S." equivalent to January 15, 1G70, N. S.* The vessel that brought Francis Fulham to the Province of Massachusetts Bay probably landed him in the vicinity of Boston. He is presumed to have been fitted for college before leaving London, but the dishonesty of one to whom *In adopting New Style, the English Parliament omitted ii days from the calendar, making the next day alter September M. Sept. 14, 1752. I'nder old Style, dates between December 31st and the J5th of the following March were treated as belonging w'ith the two years, indicated thus : 1669-70 ; and the year began with Mar. 35. 12 FULHAM. the fund provided for his education had been intrusted deprived him of all benefit from it, and he never entered Harvard. Diligent search of all probable places in Middlesex County has revealed nothing as to where he spent the rest of his minority. There are conflicting reports that he went to Weston from Marlboro and from Sudbury. There is no record of him in the Town Clerk's office of either of these towns, and the report that he went from Sudbury may have arisen from his membership in Sudbury Church; but this did not begin before 1706, there were four other members that lived in Weston and were trans- ferred to Weston Church with him, and the membership of these in the Sudbury Church probably resulted from its greater nearness to Weston than the church at Watertown. There is no tradition in the family that he ever lived in any part of Massachusetts other than the western part of Watei'town, now Weston, where he died; and it may be presumed that he lived there sometime befoi-e his marriage. FRANCIS FULHAM married SARAH LIVERMORE (16), born Feb. (o. s. 18) n. s. 28, 1672; received into church fellowship in Weston, Mar. (5) 16, 1709; died Mar. (10) 21, 1724; dau. of Lieut. John and Hannah Livermore (13) of Watertown Farms (Weston). The date and place of this marriage are un- known.* The earliest known record of Francis Fulham is in the Town Clerk's office of Watertown, and relates to the birth of his first child, Nov. (19) 29, 1692.t From this it may be inferred that the marriage was in 1691, when Francis was 21, and Sarah was 19 years old, or thereabouts. She was the mother of his four children. He m. 2d, Oct. 12, 1724, Mrs. Mary dau. of Thomas Woolson and widow of Samuel Jones, b. Dec. 8, 1673; d. Dec. 2, 1757, 44 days before her husband's death. The Registry of Deeds in Middlesex County shows that "Francis Fulham, Yeoman," by deed dated "May 14, 1696," bought of Joseph Allen, Cooper, and Samuel Allen and Elnathan Allen, Yeomen, all of "Watertown, in the County of Middlesex, within the Province of Massachusetts Bay, in New England, . . . Twenty and odd acres ... on the south side of the Country road, on a plain commonly called None Such Plain," near the south-west corner of the present town of Weston. Here he built a house long ago removed, elsewhere called "The Mansion House of Francis Fulham, Esq.," the location of which is fixed by a "Division [of the townl into highway districts," "May 22, 1734" among the archives of Weston, which mentions "A run of Water east of Col. Fulham's barn." The run, ♦The date of this event, "Feb. 22, 1689," given in the "History of Fitzwilliam, N. H.," — the place not named, — when I'"rancis was 18 or 19, and Sarah was 17 years old, is not supported by any known record, and is improbable. I furnished for that book all the information then in my possession, and all the facts contained in it relating to the first three generations of the Fulham family in America ; which were printed as written by me, including errors since discovered and corrected herein, excepting this date, which was added after the paper left my hands, and without my knowl- edge. I have searched, since the publication of that book, in all probable places in the counties of Middlesex and Suffolk for a record of this marriage, and I have inquired for the authority for the date, without success. I believe no such record was found, and that the date given is either a blunder or a guess. The first child was born nearly four years after, which renders it still more improbable that the marriage was at that time. V. S. F. tThe later date (1693) given for the birth of Jacob Fulham in several publications, resulted from misreading the altered and blotted entry in the original Book of Records, when copied into another book, which was pointed out by me, and corrected in the printed Records of Watertown, Ms. V. S. F. FULHAM. 13 the foundation of the barn, and an old cellar hole, where the house stood, are yet to be seen. This spot is four or five miles from the village of Natick, where dwelt a part of "Elliot's Praying Indians," long under the supervision of Judge Fulham. And here was his home until his death more than sixty years after. He bought by deed dated "Jan. 4, 1697" from James Barnard of Sudbury, "Full sixty acres"; and by deed dated "Feb. 10, 1706-7" from the same, "twenty and four acres or thereabouts." By deed dated "July 7, 1703," he bought of George Phillips, of Brookhaven in the County of Suffolk, on the Island of Nassau, in the Province of New York, in her Majesty's Territories in New Eng- land, Clerk," the fifth part of "Twenty-four acres or thereabouts." On "March 5, 1706-7," Joseph Bullard deeded to "Capt. Francis Fulham ... by estimation one acre." "March 26, 1707," Alexander Miller conveyed to him a "Farm of one hundred acres." "April 18, 1709," Joseph Mors, Cordwainer, deeded to him "Three acres of meadow." And these seven purchases, amounting in all to about two hundred thirteen acres, apparently adjoining or near one another, consti- tuted the home farm of Francis Fulham. Besides these he had a share of the Sudbury Lot not far away, elsewhere described. — See Livermore 13. By deed dated "May 24, 1715," John Adams of Colchester, Hartford County, Conn., conveyed to Francis Fulham of Weston, "Gentleman, . . . All that my Right, Title, and Interest wch. my Hond. father George Adams the above named ever had or ought to have in & unto all those lands by my said father George Adams purchased with the leave of the Genl. Court of the Indians of Wash- acom, lying in and near Lancaster in the abovesd. County of Middsx." And by deed dated "Nov. 7, 1723," Samuel Adams, another son of George Adams; and Joseph Adams, "In right of his father Daniel Adams also son of the afore- said George Adams," conveyed to "Francis Fulham Esq. of Weston," two-fifths of the same tract, "Formerly granted or given by Shoi now Sachem of Nash- away unto the sd. George Adams and Fi-ancis his wife, which was confirmed by the Genl. Court held at Boston May 12, 1675, Containing Two Hundred acres at Washacomhill." In "Kurd's History of Worcester County," page 761, it is said: "On the 7th of December, 1719, the General Court, in one act, granted 'two new towns on the west side of Groton west line.' William Taylor, Samuel Thaxter, Francis Ful- ham, John Shipley, Benjamin Whittemore, then members of the General Court, were selected to conduct a sui'vey of the grants, to allot the same, and to admit the grantees. The grant appears in 'Torry's Fitchburg' and in 'Sawtell's Town- send,' but many interesting details of the early proceedings remain unpublished. Three of the Committee, Fulham, Shipley, and Whittemore, with Samuel Jones, surveyor, and four chain-men began the survey of the boundary line of the two townships December 22, 1719, and completed the work in eight days. In April following, in connection with another committee, they established the west line of Groton, or the east line of the new towns. Continuing a work well and seasonably begun, the committee, all being present, met at Concord, May 1, 1720, and proceeded to admit settlers or grantees, in the language of the record of the proceedings, 'To allot and grant out ye lands contained in each of ye two 14 FULHAM. townships.' By the Committee the townships were styled North Town and South Town. The former at that time including Townsend and a part of Ashby, and the latter embracing the present towns of Lunenburg, Fitchburg, and a part of Ashby. . . . "Within the town (Lunenburg) are five natural ponds and three of them bear names of Indian origin. The one situated near the re-entrant angle in the line of Leominster contains ninety-five acres, and its name has experienced many or- thographical changes. In the proceedings of the Colonial Legislature, in 1713, it is written Unkachewalwick, and ten years later Francis Ftxlham, in the records of the committee of the General Court, writes Unkechewalom, and about the same time comes Edward Hartwell, who wrestles with the name, and leaves upon the records Uncachawalonk; while Rev. Peter Whitney, in the 'History of Worcester County,' (1793), in writing Unkeshawalom, nearly repeats the record of Francis Fulham, which has been the prevailing orthography of modern times. ... By Francis Fulham the name of the third pond is written Cataconamog." — p. 760. "Francis Fulham was . . . the clerk of the committee and his clear, ornate penmanship is preserved." — p. 765. In "New England Historical & Genealogical Register," Vol. 19, p. 244, it is said "At a meeting legally warned, the prop'rs of the Common and undivided lands within the town of Lunenburg (June 11, 1731), Laid out by the Com'rs appointed, one thousand acres of land in the South-west Corner of said Town- ship, to the Great and General Court Com'tee (viz.) the Hon'ble William Taylor Esq'r, the Hon'ble Samuel Thaxter Esq're, Col'l Francis Fulham Esq'r, and Mr. Benj. Whitemore, and Capt. John Sheple, Granted to them by the Proprietors for their former Good Services in said township: Beginning at a Pillar of stones erected for the corner of s'd Township and running East 12 Degrees South on the South line of Said township 400 rods to a Chestnut tree, then make an angle and running north 12 Degrees East, on Common land 400 rods to a white pine tree, there making an angle and running west 12 Degrees north on Common land — 400 rods to a maple tree, there making an angle and running South 12 Degrees west on the town line 400 rods, to where it began."* Francis Fulham's part of this 1000 acres, being Lot No. 3, known as the "Committee Farm," was conveyed by him in deed dated "April 2d, 1745" to Aaron Whittemore, recorded in Book 59, p. 48, of the Records of Worcester County. Francis Fulham owned a lot as one of the original proprietors of the town, and by deed dated Dec. 6, 1754, recorded in Book 38, p. 449, conveyed to his grandson Francis Fulham of Bolton 120 acres, being the easterly end of the farm in Lunenburg, now Fitchburg, — Lot No. 5. By deed dated March 8, 1757, — Book 38, p. 145, Francis Fulham conveyed to Joseph Dana, of Lebanon, Conn., and his wife Mary, daughter of Col. Francis Fulham, eighty acres in Lunenburg, being part of Lot No. 5, bounded on the east by land of Francis Fulham, Jr., *In "Proprietor's Records of Fitchburg, 1729-1S33," at page 165, it is said : "Juue 9, 1741, Col. Fran- cis Fulham Esq., renewed the bounds of the 1000 acres in S. W. corner of the town, being the only survivor of the grantees. Cut down several trees and took possession."— Granted Mar. 16, 1725-6. FUrjIAM. IT) also part of Lot No. 5; and on tlu' wcsi l)y iIk- line of NarruKanset Township No. 2. The original lot was 80 rods widf from north to sonfh, and. conlaininK I'OO arres, was therefore 400 rods long. Tlie lL'(i acres conveyed to Framis Ful- ham. Jr., of Bolton, with two dwelling houses and a barn thereon, was conveyed March 23, ITSo, by Francis Fulham of Fltchbnrff and Susanna his wife, to his sons Jacol) Fulham and Oliver Fulham. In IHOO Oliver Fulham conveyed to Jacob Fulham the southern half of the same lot by a deed in which reference is made to an agreement from which it would appear that the lot had been divided between them at. some iinvious time. Before Francis Fulham was the owner of real estate in Watertown he became active in town affairs. A controversy arose as to the location of a new meet- inghouse to accommodate all parts of Watertown, and a protest against a pro- posed situation was signed by 118 men, the first being Jno. Livermore (13), and the twenty-fourth his son-in-law Francis Fulham. In the Court Records of Middlesex County. — p. 273, it is recorded that at a Court of Genl. Sessions of the Peace at Charlestown. March 11th, 1711-12, "Capt. Francis Fulham" was fore- man of the Grand .Jury. The form and size of Watertown, originally, were such that the inhabitants of the south-west part were from five to eight miles from the meetinghouse in the more populous easterly extremity; and this soon led to an agitation for the division of the town. The Great and General Court "Sep. 15, 1694," — Ct. Rec. Lib. 6, p. 357, ordered that "James Russell, Samuel Sewall, and Joseph Lynde. Esqrs. & others [be] Appointed a Coram, to hear the Parties as to erecting Westerly Precinct": and on "Dec. 3. 1G95,"— p. 430. the general Court "Voted that . . . [the] Westerly end of Watertown be granted to be a peculiar or dis- tinct Precinct for that end; all to the W'estward of Stony Brook (so called)." The Committee of the Precinct in 170G was Thomas Wilson, Capt. Josiah Jones, Capt. Francis Fulham, and Lieut. John Brewer. "June 14, 1G98," — Ct. Rec. Lib. 6, p. 591, "Ordered [that] the Petitioners be allowed to settle a learned and Orthodox Minister." A project to build a meetinghouse in the West Precinct had existed some three years before this order and resulted in the erection of a building thirty feet square, for that use, near the site of the present Unitarian Church, its successor; and the church soon after formed is continued there. The records of the Westerly Precinct, and those of the town of Weston, 1C95- 1754, have been missing for nearly a century; and this period includes the most active part of Francis Fulham's life; but from other records, and from various papers still preserved in the town, much has been learned of his connection with public affairs. He was one of the selectmen of Watertown in the years 1710 and 1711; he was prominent in the business of the precinct: and it was. by the Great and General Court, "Upon reading the Petition of Francis Fulham, Josiah Jones & Daniel Estabrook. a Committee of the West Precinct of Water- town commonly called the Farms. Praying that (having the consent of the town therefor) they be L'lanted to be a distinct Township to Enjoy the Privi- leges & Immunities web. other Towns do & may by Law Enjoy: — "Ordered that the Praj-er of the Petition be granted, and that the West Pre- 16 FULHAM. cinct in Watertown commonly called by the Name of the Farms be erected and made into a Township, . . . The Town to be named Weston." — Ct. Rec. Lib. 9, p. 250, Jan. (1) 12, 1713. At the first election in Weston, Francis Fulham was made Town Clerk, and he held that office in the years 1713-1718. His name often appears as moderator at Town Meetings, and it is probable that he generally occupied that position until a "Meeting of Freeholders, August 8, 1751," of which he was the moderator at the age of about eighty-one years. Apparently without advancement through the usual grades he became "Cap- tain of the third Military Company of Watertown" as early as 1706. He is so described in his petition to the Council in behalf of certain members of that company in 1709, — Council Records, Lib. 5, p. 196; and he was called Capt. Fulham in records until 1720. He was then known as Major until 1730, when the title of colonel was applied to him in records and documents; and the abbre- viation "Col." is prefixed to the name on his tombstone; but nothing further is known of his military career. The records of the Great and General Court show that Francis Fulham was the first representative from Weston in that body, and that he represented the town in the years 1713-14-15-17-18-19-20-22-24-29-30-31-36-37. The Journals of only two of these years have been accessible, but in that of 1715 his name is often mentioned. He was appointed on a "Committee for Petitions, to examine the matters and Allegations thereof, and report the same with their Opinions to the House." It was "Ordered that Capt. Noyes, Capt. Fulham, Mr. Denison, Mr. William Paine, Mr. Remington, and Capt. Cowley be a Committee to Examine and Consider the Votes that have passed this year between the Houses concern- ing the Forts at Casco Bay and Brunswick, and prepare the Draught of a Vote proper for the House to pass in answer to the said last Vote of the Board." It was "Ordered, that Mr. Elisha Cook, Mr. Samuel Clap, Adam Winthrop, Col. Samuel Thaxter, and Capt. Francis Fulham, with such others as the Honorable Board shall .ioin, be a Committee to prepare the Draught of a Bill, for Settling and Quieting the Titles of the Lands, that are to the Eastward of Piscataqua River, pursuant to the Vote of this Court this Session." And there were other appointments at the session of 1715. At the session of 1730, "Voted, That Col. Francis Fulham, Col. Berry, Mr. Shove, Mr. Bixby, and Mr. Fairfield be a Com- mittee to see what Laws are expired, or are near expiring and proper to be revived, and what new ones need to be made." And there are many similar appointments at this session. The Province Laws of 1718-19 show that Francis Fulham was appointed one of three commissioners "To examine and regulate the several lists and valua- tions made by the assessors of each town," for the county of Middlesex. In "Drake's History of Middlesex County, Massachusetts," at page 492, it is said of Francis Fulham that, in the town of Weston he "held numerous re- sponsible offices, and was for a long time the most influential man, . . . June 19, 1724, he with Jonas Bond of Watertown, and Francis Bowen of Lexington, were appointed to be 'Commissioners of Sewers,' and the immediate object of FUI.IIAM. 17 llM'ir appiiiiitnu'iil was 'ilu' chansiiiK und ninoval of such banks and other ol)stnictlons' in Sudbury and Concord river. Which do occasion the overflowlnR thereof; and of draining the meadow and otiier low lands adjoininK or lyliiK on said river." " Part of an orij^inal deed in the "Clear, ornate peunianHhii) " descriljed in Hurd's History of Worcester County, before referred to, dated Oct. 20, 1714; witnessed by Fiancls Fulhani and Sarah P^ilhani his wife; and acknowledged before Francis Fulhani. Justice of the Peace; indicates that he then held that office, althoutih no record of his api)ointment at so early a date is found; and several lourt records show that he was acting as such before the earliest ap- pointment of which record is found. This is one: "Middx. ss. Concord August 27th (1717) At his Majesties Court of Ceneral Sessions of the Peace then and there holden by his Ma.i'ties Justices of the Peace for sd. County"; among the names of 15 Justices appended is 'Fra Fulham.' " "At a session of the Council held at the Council Chambers in Boston upon Wednesday April ir>, 1718, . . . This day being appointed for the nomination of civil officers. His Excellency nominated . . . Francis Fulham Esqr for a Justice over the Indians in the County of Middlesex. ... To which . . . the Council advised and consented." — Council Records, Liber 6, p. .5.51. Under this appoint- ment Francis Fulham exercised a supervision and authority peculiar to the time, and akin to guardianship — the officer being sometimes called Superintend- ent — over a remnant of the 1500 semichristianized Savages of Natick, known as "Praying Indians," assembled there by Rev. John Elliot, "Indian Apostle," within the quarter-century beginning with 1»J51. "At a Council held at ye Council Chamb'r in Boston on Wednesday Feb'y 21, 1727, . . . Present The Hon'ble Wm: Dummer Esq. Lt. Gov". A petition of Thomas Pegan and other Indian Inhabitants of Natick containing divers Com- plaints against Francis Fulham Esq'r. in his administration of the Govemm't over them, Pray'g that he may be dismissed from his Office of a Justice of the Peace over the said Natick Indians; Read and Ordered that the Petitioners serve Francis Fulham Esq'r with a copy of this Petition, that so he give in his answer thereto on Thursday the thirteenth of May next. Wm. Dummer." — Coun. Rec. Lib. 9, p. 25. "At a Council held on May 31, 1728," also presided over by Wm. Dummer: "Upon the Memorial of Thos: Pegan and other Indians of Natick complaining against Francis Fulham Esq'r. as entered I'ebruary 21, 1727, Read again together with the Answer of Francis Fulham Esq'r., and the Recantation of ye Memorial- ists in which they acknowleilge that they were deluded into the said Memorial & having asked forgiveness of their fault & the matter being duly considered, Ordered that the said Memorial or Complaint be dismissed as groundless & vexatious." — Coun. Rec. Lib. 9, p. 42. This appears to be the only complaint made by the Natick Indians against Francis Fulham's administration, therein described as a "Government over them"; and this relation was continued more than the third of a century. — he being meantime the only similar officer in Middlesex Co.. while several such IS FULHAM. were simultaneously in Office in other counties of Mass., and until "Middlesex, ss. Natick March ye 30, 1752, ... At a meeting of the Proprietors of the Com- mon and undivided land in Natick being duly warned and regularly assembled on the 30th day of March 1752, Lieut. John Richardson chosen Moerator. "The 2d article considered and voted to choose another in the room of the Hon'ble Francis Fulham Esq'r. (who desires to be dismisst.) and Chose Lieut. Jonathan Richardson, in his room, to procure their Rent money of their Maguncog lands of the Hon'ble Trustees, and pay it to each Proprietor accord- ing to his Proportion." — Old Record Book at Natick, p. 122. The records of Natick show that Francis Fulham, in the administration of his office as justice of the peace, married both those having English names, perhaps assumed by Indians, and those whose surnames were of unquestionable Indian origin, as: "James Cookuck and Sarah Awancomott; Solomon Wans- quam and Sarah Laurence; John Pegan and Mary Rumblemarsh." Meetings of Proprietors were called by Francis Fulham, Justice of the Peace; the "Votes and Acts" at such meetings were "Accepted and allowed" by him. "At a meeting of the proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands in Natick upon the 25th day of October 1731, being duly Warned as the Law Directs by virtue of an Order of the Hon'rble Francis Fulham Esq'r, Upon an Address Made to him by five of the principal proprietors of Said Natick His Hon'r being present, "Voted by the said proprietors that Samuel Perry of Sherbourne shall have the free Liberty to take up the quantity of three aci-es and one half of Land within the said Common in One or More places where it may suit him Joining to his Own Land to Make up the thirty acres to him which he purchased of Jacob Chalcom. "Voted fully in the affirmative and consented to by Fi'ancis Fulham Esq'e." —p. 16. "At a Meeting of the proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands in Natick January the 5th, 1735-6, Orderly Warned . . . "Present the Honorable Francis Fulham Esq'e Thomas Pegan was Chosen Moderator of said Meeting by a Majority of Votes. "Attest Wm Rider Clerk of ye said Proprietors."— p. 42. This form is often employed in beginning records. The Moderator is prob- ably the Thomas Pegan that headed the petition for the removal of Francis Fulham. "Natick September ye 13th 1721 — At a meeting of the Proprietors Lawfully warned for the purpose, there was Granted unto Moses Smith of Needham — and to his heirs for ever 40 acres of land lying on the South westerly side of Pegun Hill for finishing the Meeting house if the Honorable General Court shall please to Confirm the same, and the town hath this day Chosen Major Fulham at [and] Li'ut Thomas Sawin as our Committee to see that the work is well done and we pray that the Honorable Court would please to accept them as such — and we have this day also Chosen Joseph Speen, Solomon Thomas, and Samuel Om- petawin our Commity to acquaint Major Fulham Esq'e with the same for FULHAM. V.) approbation." — From a loose leaf of "Proprietors' Road Book," said to be in the writing of an Indian. A story told to the Author's father by Oliver Whitney of Cavendish, Vt., who was reared in Natick, and, in his boyhood, knew Francis Pulham, indicates that he sometimes took personal direction of public improvements there. Whit- ney described him as a large, strong, good-looking man; and said that he saw him in charge of Indians at work on a road, when a large, stout Indian went off and got drunk, and, then, came back to work. He got offended and made an assault on Col. Fulham. by whom he was thrown to the ground. A second attack resulted in his being thrown to considerable distance, and he was or- dered away. When sober, he returned, got down on his knees, and begged Col. Fulham's pardon. Francis Fulham, then, must have been from 60 to 70 years old; and the tale illustrates the dignity of his character, the homage paid him by the Indians, and his great strength, often I'eproduced in his descendants. As a justice of the peace, he married many couples in Weston; and his name ap- pears as the magistrate taking acknowledgements, in a principal part of the conveyances, for nearly forty years. The date of Francis Fulham's admission to the bar is not known, but the probable time is suggested by a memorandum with the initial "A. B." appended, accompanied by a letter in the same handwriting, signed "Austin Bacon," dated at "Natick, Sept. 6, 1860," and addressed to "Sewall Fulham, Esq., Ludlow, Vt." as follows: "I have it on Tradition that about 1700 he was studying with one Jones who died leaving a wife Mary, and that many years after (prob. about 1724) Fulham's wife died & he married Mai-y Jones — At any rate in 1710 or '11 he plead in the courts, being about 40 years old and a stout noble looking man, who had, by his own exertions, enabled him so to do." Samuel Jones, first husband of Mary Woolson, died Feb. 5, 1718, in his 41st year. The letter refers to a previously "exchanged communication (1846)." Mass. Council Records, Liber 7, pp. 52-4, has the following: "At a Council held in ye Council Chamber in Boston on Saturday June 27th: 1719 Sitting ye Gen'l Ass'bly. "Present "His Excell'cy Sam'l Shute Ssq'r Gov'r "The Hon'ble Wm. Dummer Esq'r Lt. Gov'r.

"The Gen'l council according to appointm't met for the nominating Civil Officers & other important affairs of the Governm't & His Excell'cy was pleased to name . . . Francis Fulham Esq'r to be Justice of the Inferior Court of Com- mon Pleas for the County of Middlesex . . . To . . . which ... ye Council advised & consented." There seems to have been no stated term for this office, but Francis Fulham 20 FULHAM. was several times reappointed and confirmed in it by tlie Governor and Council; and he held the office continuously until "At a Council held at the Council Chambers in Boston upon Thui*sday the 26th of June 1755. Sitting the General Assembly. "Present, his Excellency William Shirley Esq'r. Governor "The General Council for nominating & appointing Civil Officers being met according to order, His Excellency was pleased to nominate the following per- sons to their respective Offices, hereinafter mentioned, viz't. William Lawrence Esq', to be a Justice of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas in the County of Middlesex, in the room of Francis Fulham, Esq'r. who has resigned." The records of the court show that during seven years on the bench Francis Fulham's name stood last in the list of four justices; and that on Dec. 13, 1726, his name also appears as the first of four "Justices of s'd Court in Commiss'rs Actions," the others not being Justices of the Court of Common Pleas. "The Massachusetts Civil List" shows also that in "1734-5, Feb. 21, Samuel Danforth, Francis Foxcraft, Francis Fulham," were Special Justices Court of Common Pleas ... To act in cases where any of the standing Justices were interested;" that of these only Francis Fulham was a Justice of the Court; that he was confirmed the last time August 24, 1753, and resigned June 26, 1755, after having held the office of .iustice exactly thirty-six years continuously, during the last fourteen of which he was Chief Justice. He was at this time about 85 years old, and the Court Records show that he was presiding at the term beginning May 20, 1755, the last before his resignation. Advanced age would seem a sufficient reason for retiring, a judge of his years being uncom- mon even among our vigorous ancestors of a hundred and fifty years ago, but his deafness probably hastened it. In "Sketches of the Judicial History of Massachusetts from 1630 to 1776 by Emory Washburn," at page 341, as to the "Judges of the Court of Common Pleas for Middlesex County," is this: "Francis Fulham was of Weston, and held many public oflBices besides that of Chief Justice of this Court, such as Colonel of the Militia, member of the Council, &c., he resigned his place upon the bench a few years before his death. . . . He is spoken of as a man 'of distinguished natural powers and good conduct' and as 'having discharged the duties of his several betrustments with honor, and died with the serenity and good hope of a Christian.' " The statement that he was a "Member of the Council" is also in "Bench and Bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts," — Vol. 2, p. 177; but no record of his appointment or acting as one of the Council is found, and this is probably an error. In the "Diary and Letters of Judge Samuel Sewall" published in the "Massa- chusetts Historical Collection" mention is made of "Capt. Fulham" and "Major Fulham" in a way to indicate an intimate association between these two men in c'onnection with the Governor, the Attorney General, members of the Council, and other prominent ofl^cials of the Colony. A letter from "Capt. Fulham," written in response to a message sent to him, is mentioned as received "Feb. 5, 1718-19"; it was read by the Secretary before the Governor and Council; and FULHAM. 21 the publication of sucli records may have led to the inference that Judge Ful- ham was a member of the Council. The appointment of Francis Fulham to the bench of the Court of Common Pleas was in June following the date of this letter, and Samuel Sewall's name is among those of the Council present at the time of his appointment. The intimacy between these two men is supposed by the Author to account for "Sewall" being given as a Christian name to a g.g.grandson of Judge Fulham, Rev. Sewall Fulham, of Reading, Vt. ; from him it descended to his eldest son, and as a second name to the Author. Fulham was the original name given Dec. 26, 1753, to Dummerston, Vt., where, at different times, it was also written "Fullham" and "FuUum." William Dum- mer, Lieut. Gov. of Massachusetts Bay, was with the Council "June 27, 1719," when Gov. Shute named Francis Fulham as Justice of the Court of Common Pleas; and he was present and presiding on "Feb. 21, 1727" and "May 31, 1728," at the presenting and the dismissing of the complaint and petition of Thomas Pegun and other Indians of Natick, seeking the removal of Francis Fulham from the office of Justice of the Peace over them. It is said in "Child's Wind- ham County Gazateer," — pp. 58-9, that the tract of land out of which the three towns, Fulham, Putney, and Brattleboro, Vt. were made was first the property of William Dummer; and it is evident that the name given to the first of these by the proprietor was iia honor of his old friend Judge Francis Fulham. As late as 1773 the town was known by the two names, but after that it was called Dummerston only, for the original proprietor. In an old tax-bill of West Precinct dated "Sept. 17, 1708," the first two names are "Capt. Francis Fulham" and "Lt. John Livermore," his father-in-law; Liver- more being taxed for the largest, and Fulham for the third largest sum in the list,^ — about two-thirds that of Livermore. Francis Fulham was then taxed on "2 heads" for himself and his only son. In an original "Order to Constable to pay & Receipt for Payments" dated "Weston March ye 2 — 1722-3," appears the name "Maj. Francis Fulham"; and the sum specified is about ten times that affixed to any other name. Something of the dress and possessions of Judge Fulham, and of the method of punishing criminals in his time appears in the following record: — "Court at Concord Aug. 28, 1739 — &c. &c. being presented by the Grand Inquest for the body of this County. "For that the said on the nineteenth of August instant at Weston in the county of Middlesex aforesaid: with Force and Arms did felon- iously take, steal & carry away out of the Mansion House of one Francis Ful- ham Esq: Sundry of the Goods and Chattels of the said Francis, Vizt: a Pen- knife, a Pocket Compass, and a pair of Deerskin Breeches, all of the value of four pounds; and twelve Pounds in Bills of publick Credit, being the property of the said Francis, contrary to the Peace, Crown, and Dignity of our Lord the King, and to the laws in that Case made and provided. "The said appeared and pleaded Guilty — It's therefore Con- sidered by the Court that the said forfeit & pay to the said Francis 22 FULHAM. Fiilham the Prosecutor the Sum of Forty eight Pounds being treble Damages, the Goods and money being returned, to be accounted one third Part thereof. "And in case the said be unable to make such Restitution or pay such Threefold Damages within thirty Days next following, that, then the said Francis Fulham, the Prosecutor, be and hereby is impowered to dispose of the said in service to any of His Majesty's Subjects during the Term of three Years. — Also that the said — pay as a Fine to the King the Sum of Five Pounds within three Hours or in default to be whipped fifteen Stripes on his naked back, and that he pay fees and costs. Standing Com- mitted 'till this Sentence be performed. The Fine above was paid into Court." Francis Fulham, of Weston, in a suit begun by writ dated April 28, 1757, less than nine months before his death, against Nathaniel Livermore, in a plea of debt, recovered "9 pounds twelve shillings debt & one pound 14 shillings six pence costs"; showing that, at the age of 87, he still had the disposition and ability to assert and maintain his rights. In an oration by Charles H. Fiske at the Town Hall in Weston, July 4, 1876, a story is told of Judge Francis Fulham, illustrative of his position in that community after he left the bench, in which he is called "Squire," a title once comprehensive enough to include any rank less than that of the nobility, as follows: — "During Parson Woodwai'd's sermon one Sunday morning, an old Colored woman in the gallery, probably rather solid and heavy, fell asleep and tumbled off the bench on which she sat, on to the floor; the old Squire — who, by the way was quite deaf the last part of his life, — conscious that something unusual had happened, but not quite knowing what, and feeling a peculiar responsibility for the good behavior of the people at meeting, immediately jumped up from his seat, and called out, 'Stop Reverend Sir.' Mr. Woodward thereupon stopped, and then the old man said, in a loud voice: 'If any one has discharged a gun in this meeting house, let him be brought before me to- morrow morning at 9 o'clock.' He was at last made to understand the cause of the disturbance, and he then said: 'If what I thought, had happened, what I said was right; proceed Reverend Sir:' whereupon Mr. Woodward resumed his discourse, and the services went on as usual." About three years after the marriage of his only son Jacob, Francis Fulham gave him some eighty acres from the north-east corner of his home farm. All his Fitchburg property, apparently, had been disposed of, and his remaining estate passed by the following will: — "In the Name of God Amen.

He had a herculean frame, and was said to be the strongest man in New England. Several old men from the vicinity of Weston that, in their youth, had known Jacob's father, among them the two grandfathers of Sewall Fulham, Jr., the Author's father, told Sewall early in the nineteenth century. That Judge Fulham said his son Jacob, at the age of fourteen, could lift more than he — Jacob's father — ever could; that, at that age, Jacob felled an oak down a bank, cut off a log, and carried it up the bank; and that no man in the neighborhood could lift either end of the log. He married (Feb. 28) Mar. 10, 1716, TABITHA WHITNEY, b. (Aug. 22) Sep. 1, 1696; d.

Tabitha Fulham wife of Jacob F." was received into Weston Church. He built a house on the north-easterly part of his father's farm, on which he had a dam and probably a saw-mill. By deed dated "March 6, 1718-19" Francis Fulham, in consideration of "Love and Affection," conveyed to his "Only Son, Jacob Fulham, ... a certain tract or parcel of Land, Meadow, and Meadow ground. Situated, lying, and being in Weston aforesaid, on the South side of the Great Country Road leading through Weston to Sudbury, Containing, by estimation, in the whole about Eighty acres be the same more or less; it being parted into two pieces by a strip of land four rods in width running Easterly or Northeasterly, by the Southerly side of the Rail fence as it now stands, from the land of the said Francis Fulham to the new dwelling house of the said Jacob Fulham as the said fence now stands; and thence Easterly or Northeasterly as the way is now drawn over Jacob Ful- ham's Dam, to the West end of the highway last laid out thro Benj.

The above given and granted Eighty acres by Estimation (including said reserved strip of land) is bounded Southerly with land com- monly called Land of Contention ." This deed was left for record August (20) 31, 1725, more than three months after the death of Jacob Fulham; and the whole transaction shows the amicable relations and perfect confidence existing between the father and the son and the son's family, during all that time. George Harrington of Watertown, by deed dated "June 26, 1722," conveyed to Jacob Fulham of Weston, "A certain tract of Land lying in Weston aforesaid, being part of the farm formerly Barnard's Farm, and is bounded Easterly upon the land of Maj. Fr: Fulham by certain marked Trees and heaps of Stones; . . . I'l'IJIAM. 25 CoiitHiiiiuR by t'stiniation twenty four arics be the same more or IcRR, with the Wood. Timber. Stones, Watercourses, herbage, and all manner of RlKhts. Trlvl- leges, and appurtenances thereunto; to him the said Jacob Fulham." Jacob Fulham was one of the original projjrietors of Turkey Hills, now p-itcb- burg. in the survey of which he assisted, and in which bo acquired a lot in May 1720. "Not to exceed 250 acres," after his death sold by the administratrix of bis estate for eighty pounds. It appears from ilir liistory of Watertown and Weston that neither town ever suffered from the incursions of hostile Indians, but men from those towns were often employed in service against them elsewhere; among these was Jacob Ful- ham. who, after be reached manhood, was much engaged in the Indian Wars, and many times went on expeditions against the savage enemy. These were most frequent between 171S and the time of bis death. On one occasion, being surrounded by hostile Indians, he shot one; and. as others were too near to give him time to load, he clubbed his musket, determined to sell his life as dearly as possible. The Indians being anxious to take him alive, proposed to Fulham, that, if he would surrender, they would spare his life and treat him kindly. This being the only way in which he could hope to escape death, be consented, and delivered his musket to the Sachem in command, a big chief, who, on re- ceiving the weapon, struck the captive with it, inflicting a severe scalp wound with the lock. The Indians returned with their prisoner to Three Rivers, Ca., where a council was held to determine his fate. The squaw of the warrior that he had killed demanded the white captive to live, as a son, with her and work for her support; to which the council agreed, but condemned him first to run the gauntlet. At the beginning of this race for life. Fulham noticed a brave awaiting his approach with a stone in his hand; and, fearing that it would hit him, ran against the Indian with such force as to project him from the line like the missile from a catapult. This exploit so pleased the Indians that they compelled Fulham to run no farther, and delivered him to his foster mother, who soon healed his wounded head. His mechanical ingenuity enabled him to serve the squaw in making clothes and in other ways; but he soon perceived that the Indians would not part with him voluntarily while he was useful. His foster mother now found him neglectful of his filial duties, lazy, and turbulent; and, not long after, she sold him to a French gentlemen that admired his fine physique. In his new situation Fulham soon learned that the French and the Indians were accustomed to meet yearly for a trial of strength and skill at wrestling; and that for some years the big chief had been victor over the French. The gentleman was not long in discovering that he had secured a Hercules as well as an Apollo in young Fulham, and, when the time for the annual contest arrived, took him to it hoping to make him useful. The chief soon entered the ring and threw all the best men of the French, when Fulham was asked to wrestle with the champion. At first he declined saying that, if he should hurt the chief, the Indians would kill him; but, on receiving assurances that the French would protect him, he yielded to their importunities, and took hold of 26 FULHAM. the chief, determined to punish him for his breach of faith. After a short struggle Fulham threw the chief and fell with him striking his knee in the Indian's stomach so violently that, at first, he appeared lifeless, which aroused the resentment of the Indians. The anger of the savages was somewhat allayed when the chief began to revive; and the French withdrew with their champion, greatly elated by their victory. When news came a few days after that the chief was dead, the French, to save him from savage vengeance, hastily fitted out Fulham with the necessary arms and supplies; and he made the long, lonely, perilous journey through the northern wilderness to his home and family in Weston, where he had been mourned as dead. The incursions of hostile bands of Indians from Canada and from Maine, with their destruction of property, the slaughter of men, women, and children, the torture of captives, and other outrages, at exposed points on the frontier of Massachusetts, led to the sending out of expeditions for the destruction of the savages. Among the leaders of these was Captain John Lovewell of Dunstable, a border town that originally included Nashua, N. H. Dunstable had suffered severely from these incursions. In 1724, eleven of her men, while pursuing a party of raiding savages, were ambuscaded, and all but one, Josiah Farwell, were killed. In the fall of the same year the following petition was presented: — "To the Honoble. William Dummer Esqr. Lieutenant Governor & Commander in Chief in and over His Majties. Province of Massachusetts Bay, and to the Honourable His Majestie's Council for the sd. Province now sitting in Boston "The Humble Memorial of John Lovell and Josiah Farwell and Jona.

"Sent up for concurrence "\Vm: Dudley Speaker." This action was concurred In by the Council Nov. (17) 28, 1724. — See Military Records of Massachusetts, I.lber 72, p. 199. Under this authority a company of 47 officers and men was organized, John IvOvewell being Captain, and Jacob Fulham being a Sergeant. They left Dun- stable about April (16) 27, 1725, for the upper waters of the Saco River In Maine held by the Sosois tribe of Indians, noted for their warlike character and their hatred of the whites. Toby, apparently the only friendly Indian In the company, soon became lame and was obliged to return. When they reached Contoocook. William Cummins, suffering from an old wound, was dismissed with a kinsman to accompany him home; and the sickness of Benjamin Kidder forced them to halt at "Ossapy," where they built a small fort as a place of refuge, in case of disaster, and left the sick man. the doctor, their surplus provisions, and a sergeant with seven men as a garrison. The force, thus re- duced to 34, proceeded about 40 miles to Saco Pond. On Thursday May (G) 17, there were Indications that they were observed and dogged by the enemy; and, on Friday night, the watch heard Indians around the camp. The men, being aroused and under arms the rest of the night, expected an attack; but no enemy appeared in the morning. Very early Saturday May (S) 19, while at prayers, they heard a gun, and soon discovered an Indian on a point of land opposite the side of the pond at which they had arrived, evi- dently stationed there as a decoy. Expecting to find the enemy In force in that direction, and that an advance would bring on an engagement with superior numbers. "It was now projjosed, whether it were Prudent to venture an Engage- ment with the Enemy, (who they perceiv'd were now sufficiently Alarmed,) or, endeavour a speedy Retreat. The Men Generally & Boldly Answered, 'We came 28 FULHAM. out to meet the Enemy; we have all along Prayed GOD we might find 'em; and we had rather trust Providence with our Lives, yea Dy for our Country, than try to Return without seeing them, if we may, and be called Cowards for our Pains.' " They laid down their packs and proceeded with great caution, fearing an ambush. A mile or two farther on an Indian was seen approaching, and they lay in wait for him; when he came near he was fired on, and he re- turned the fire with a charge of beaver shot, wounding the Captain and one other. Ensign Wyman then shot the Indian dead, and Jonathan Frye with another scalped him. Finding no other Indians in the vicinity, the company returned, reaching the place where their packs had been left about ten o'clock. The Indians had re- moved the packs and, in numbers more than double theirs, immediately attacked the whites at the north end of the pond where there were few trees and little undergrowth. The Indians rose in front and rear, rushing upon them in two parties, three or four deep; and the whites hastened to meet them with muskets ready. When within a few rods both sides fired, and many Indians fell at the first discharge, although few if any of the whites were hit. The Indians then fell back three or four rods while several rounds were fired, during which Cap- tain Lovewell, Sergeant Fulham, and several others were killed, and three whites were wounded. The Indians then attempted to surround the whites, who retreated in good order to the pond, by which their rear was protected, with one fiank resting on the brook. Here the Indians, holding up ropes, asked if the whites would accept terms for surrender, but were answered that they'd have no quarter except at the muzzles of their guns. The fight was now re- sumed and obstinately continued on both sides until near sunset. In the dusk that followed the Indians retired, it was thought, with not more than twenty of their number uninjured, leaving the field to the whites. About midnight the survivors assembled. They found nine of the company not seriously injured, and these with eleven badly wounded, who were yet able to travel, weakened by fasting since morning, and without food or blankets for their return, started for the fort. Several fell out by the way from exhaustion, and those that reached the fort found it deserted. One of the 34 ran away at the beginning of the fight, and, on reaching the fort, gave such an account of the slaughter of his comrades as to lead the garrison to abandon the fort, and return in great haste to their homes, leaving nothing behind for the sustenance of their comrades. Some of the survivors that had been wounded, and were without food after Saturday morning, reached home on Wednesday; others fell out by the way and were never heard from. When news of the disaster reached the colony. Colonel Tyng with a company of soldiers visited the battle-ground, and buried 12 of Captain Lovewell's com- pany, marking the initials of each on a tree nearest to his grave. The Indians had returned and scalped all of these but one, Jacob Fulham, who, wearing a black coat, was supposed to have been spared by the Indians as a Medicineman (Clergyman). The dead savages had all been removed or buried, but the graves of three were found and opened by the soldiers, the scalps of these being I'l'I.IIAM. 2'.» reniovi'il.

The following extract from "White's Early History of New England," page 102, relates to his conduct in Lovewell's Fight: "Mr. Jacob Fulham, who was an officer, and an only son, distinguished himself with much bravery. One of the first that was killed, was by his ri,ght hand, and when ready to encounter a second shot, it is said that he and his adversary fell at the very instant by each other's shot." In "Drake's History of Middlesex County, Ms.," — page 492, is the following: — "At the famous Lovewell's Fight, ... at Pigwacket TFryeburg) Me. May 8, 1723. Jacob Fulham, who was a Sergeant in Captain Lovewell's Company, was killed. 'A Sergeant named Fulham, and an Indian distinguished by his dress and activity, singled out each the other, and both fell, mutually slain by their antagonist's weapon.' This Jacob Fulham was the eldest son of Major Francis Fulham." Palfrey's History of New England — full edition— Vol. IV. p. 443, has this from an old song: "Young Fulham too I'll mention, because he fought so well. Endeavouring to save a man, a sacrifice he fell." Soon after the battle a book was published in Boston entitled "Historical Memoirs of the Late Fight at Piggwacket, with a SERMON Occasioned by the Fall of the Late Capt. John Lovewell and Several of his Valiant Company, in the late Heroic Action there. Pronounced at Bradford, May 10, 1725 By Thomas Symmes, V. D. M. The Second Edition Corrected . . . 1725." A copy of this book once owned by Judge Francis Fulham, father of Jacob, and now the property of the Author, is the principal authority from which this account Is taken, with quotations.

"Susanna Fulham w. of Fr: — remd." from Weston Ch., — no date; dau. of Eleazer and Hannah (Harrington) Hammond, of Newton, Ms. After the death of liis father young Francis became a member of the family of his grandfather Fulham, guardian of Jacob's children, and lived with him until his marriage, the other children living with their mother. From this association he received the pseudonym "Young Judge," and he was called Judge as long as he lived. In the distribution of Jacob Fulham's property, Apr. (7) 18, 1740, the Probate Court assigned all the real estate in Weston to "His eldest son Francis Fulham"; and on the same date, "Francis Fulham Jr. of Weston" ex- ecuted a mortgage of this estate to John Rice of Sudbury, and Daniel Livermore, to secure them for signing a bond of 330 pounds to the Probate Court, condi- tioned for the payment by Francis, within twelve months, "to the other children of the said Dec's'd, — viz. Jacob, Tabitha, & Elisha, Each, the sum of One hun- dred & nine Pounds six shillings & ten Pence & 3-5ths of a Penny; for their Shares of the said Estate: as also to pay the Charges of this Settlement — being L. 3-5-6." The other realty was sold by the administratrix. On his marriage in the following December he went to live at the homestead of his father adjoining that of Judge Fulham on the east, where he remained until after the birth of his second child. He apparently took his family to Fitchburg before the birth of his third child; and the records indicate that his third, fourth, and fifth children were born there; but, by deed dated "Mar. 27, 1747, . . Francis Fulham Jun. husbandman of Weston," in consideration of 370 pounds, conveyed "My Mansion House and Barn and Homestall lying in said Weston by estimation Eighty acres"; and a second tract, "Bounded Easterly with the land of Francis Fulham Esqr. . . . Containing by Estimation twenty-four acres, . . . Excepting a Reserve of twelve acres of land" at the Southerly end of the last described. By deed dated "May 18, 1748, Francis Fulham, Yeoman, of Weston" for the consideration of 490 pounds, conveyed "Twelve acres by measure- ment," the "Reserve" in the first deed, and his last real estate in Weston. The records indicate that his last two children were born in Lancaster, but in a suit at Charlestown, Jan. 1749, he is described as "Francis Fulham, a husbandman of Bolton in the County of Worcester." An original muster roll, and the "Military Annals of Lancaster," — p. 35, both describe him as of Bolton in 1755. Bolton now contains about 1000 inhabitants, and was then unorganized; it adjoins Lan- caster, organized in 1752; and these births, recorded there, may have occurred in Bolton. The deed of gift in 1754 of the Fitchburg farm, from Judge Fulham to his grandson Francis, still describes him as of Bolton; and there is nothing to indicate when he settled in Fitchburg, the first record of him there being of his election to an office in 1769. He died on the farm given him by his grand- father, on the west side of "Oak Hill" south and in sight of the electric rail- road in West Fitchburg, the same on which his son Jacob afterwards lived and FL'IJIAM. 31 died, and whirh has \)vvn in tlic otiupamy ol' iiis descendanlK to the pri ol" ICdiiniiul Powers small additions to lliis Iract lor lU pounds; and on the same date he ronveyed to P^dmund Powers "3 acres and 30 rods" from the southern extremity of his first purchase, for l:,, who Hurvlvod him. Hu lived iu Sierllnj? where he was nianii'd. and in F'ltihburK until ITys. whon he removed with his houb to Cavendish, where he remalnetl until 1.S18. when he went to live with hla won Sewall in Reading', where he died. He wius buried with his dex-easi'd wivera- tions in Rhode Island, and included . . . from Harvard, serving with Capt. 44 FULHAM. Manasseh Sawyer, in July, August, and September, 1778, . . . Elisha Fulham." In Mass. Arch. Var. Serv. 20-77, appears: '"Elisha Fulham — Private — Capt. Samuel Hill's Co., Col. Josiah Whitney's Regt. En. Oct. 2, 1777— Dis. Oct. 26, 1777, 24 clays— Harvard— under Lt. Col. Ephraim Sawyer — ." 22-207, "Elisha Fulham — Private — Capt. Manasseh Sawyer's Co. Josiah Whitney's Regt. En- listed July 30, 1778 — 1 m. 15 ds. Service performed in Rhode Island." N. H. State Papers, Rev. Rolls, p. 24, has: "Elisha Fulham private disch. July 9, 1777, 12 days in service. Whole amount of pay 3, 15, 2." The last service, apparently with New Hampshire troops, after the birth of his first child, indicates a change of residence to New Hampshire, perhaps to Walpole, but nothing definite is known of Elisha Fulham after this until he lived in Otsego County, N. Y. Oct. G, 1794, Elisha Fulham and another conveyed to Benoni Adams 100 acres, part of lot 49, Otsego Patent, but no record is found of the conveyance of this to him. He subscribed to the erection of an academy in Cooperstown, Otsego County, in 1795; and on Sep. 27, 1799, he conveyed to "Jonas Hodgekins" all the goods, household stuffs, implements, and furniture, together with the grain, corn, and hay; and also the stock of cattle mentioned in the schedule annexed, situate in the town of Otsego, County of Otsego; and it is thought that he removed thence to Penfield, in Monroe County, then part of Ontario County, N. Y. By deed dated Apr. 20, 1809, Cons. $315.05, Rec. Lib. 24, p. 226, Oct. 2, 1815, Elisha Fulham bought of Daniel Penfield, 55 acres 63 rods of the east part of lot 38, T. 13, R. 4, in the town of Boyle, Ontario Co., N.

Lib. 24, p. 225, Elisha Fulham bought of Daniel Penfield, 5 a. 53 r. of the north part of lot 38, township 13, range 4, in Ontario County, N. Y. ; and this lot was conveyed by Elisha Fulham and Abigail his wife to Joseph Hatch by deed dated Mar. 9, 1816, Con. $300, Rec. Lib. 28. p. 68. Elisha Fulham and Abigail his wife also deeded to Elisha Fulham, Jr., Apr. 30, 1812, Lib. 25, p. 344, Cons. $310, the west half of land bought of Daniel Pen- field, Apr. 20, 1809. 13 chil. b. 1, in Harvard; 4, 5, 6, in Cooperstown; 7, 8, in Pen- field; the rest unknown. 91 1.

When about a year old his father moved to Fitchburg, and the family lived there until after the marriage of Sewall, when with his father and his brother he removed to Cavendish, Vt. Mar. 25, 1S07, he moved to R.. where he lived until 1810; he then returned to C; and in 1815 he settled on his Reading farm where he remained the rest of his life. He was reared on a farm, and his opportunities for education were limited to the common schools; but he possessed an independent, logical mind, was an ex- tensive reader, and had a very retentive memory, and oratorical gifts, highly commended by his contemporaries in after years, whi( b, in the judgment of his eldest son, under favorable conditions, would have made him eminent in his profession. He came to Vermont with little means, when its hills and valleys, generally, were covered with forests; but his great physical strength and activity abundantly qualified him to carve out a home in the wilderness. The first stage in this work was removing trees, and, besides what he did on his own farm, he was employed much in felling the forests of his neighbors. In this work he greatly excelled, and. with one Carpenter, who worked with him. he would measure off an acre in the morning, and, by partly severing a row of trees so that they would fall in the same direction, and finally causing the last to fall on the next so that the whole went down in orderly succession, they would finish their stint before night. His son told of seeing him pursue a big. wild steer around the barnyard in the first attempt to yoke him: the steer eluded him for a time, but finally, coming within reach, his father's hand darted out and grasped the tip of a horn, when the steer, unable to free himself, was soon subdtied. Sewall Fulham was commissioned a Sergeant in the 4th regt., 2d brig., 7th 46 FULHAM. div., Mass. Militia at Ashburuham, Oct. 4, 1797. He was W. Master of a Masonic Lodge in Cavendish. He represented Reading in the legislature, 1816, '17, '18, '19, '20. And tor many years he was a trial Justice of the Peace. He was licensed a Methodist preacher June 1, 1811, and ministered to that church until Feb. 22, 1822, when he withdrew from the Methodists, and, in July following, he was ordained a Freewill Baptist Minister at Windsor, Vt. He was also an excellent singer. At the age of 69, while in robust health and with his natural strength unabated, he was attacked by a malady that had caused him much pre- vious suffering; a surgical operation was proposed for his relief, but he refused to submit to it, preferring to die; at his request he was borne out into an April shower to relieve his pain, and died, in great agony, with the respect and esteem of all that knew him. Mehetabel Harris, wife of Sewall Fulham, was his third cousin, by descent from Judge Francis Fulham, through Hannah his daughter; and, though of medium size, had muscular strength exceeding that of ordinary men. One of the earliest memories of her eldest son was seeing her take from the crane a cauldron kettle full of potatoes that had been cooked over the kitchen fire, and carry it away. She had a gi-eat memory and a remarkable aptness for public speaking. On one occasion while visiting her son in Ludlow, at the invitation of a neighbor, she accompanied his family to an evening meeting in the Baptist church, and spoke so as to electrify the assembly by her earnest and eloquent appeal in behalf of the Christian faith and life. In 1856 she visited a daughter, walking over the hills to the adjoining town of Ludlow. A fall, resulting in a fracture of the neck of a femur, detained her there through the winter. In the following spring, her recovery being complete, when nearly eighty years old, she walked six miles to her home in Reading, accompanied by her son-in-law, driving a flock of sheep to pasture with a horse and wagon, so that she might as well have ridden. She preferred to walk, and said she should have gone faster but for the slowness of the sheep. She was never lame afterwards; and, remaining an adherent of the Methodist Church, although her husband had been a clergyman of another denomination, she continued walking regularly more than a mile to church on Sundays until her last sickness. She died of an in- flammatory disease in her eighty-ninth year, with all her senses nearly perfect, and mental faculties as acute as in her maturity. 6 chil. b. 1, 2, 3, 5, in Cavendish; 4, 6, in Reading. 111 1.

He was a good-looking man of great size and strength: and he was celebrated for feats with a rifle. It is related that, on one occasion, he went to a turkey-shooting, and. arriving late, found that on ac- count of the length of the range, little blood had been shed. He bought a pack- age of tickets, and, resting his rifle according to the regulations, won as many turkeys as he had shots. The owner of the fowls refused to set up more for him In that way. but proposed that, as Fulham had succeeded .so well, he should shoot off another package of tickets without resting, to which Fulham agreed. 50 FULHAM. and captured another equal number of turkeys, shooting "off-hand"; after which he was not allowed to shoot again. 3 chil. b. in C. 169 1.

He had little opportunity or inclination for schooling, and, before the war of 1812, he went to Boston to seek employment. He was at one time in the service of William Sullivan, for many years at the head of the Massachusetts Bar; he was afterwards in the employ of Daniel Webster; and, finally, he "hired out" to Nathan Hale, father of Edward Everett Hale, D. D., and, for many years, editor and proprietor of the "Boston Advertisei'." As hired-boy and hired-man, he spent nearly seventy years in the service of the Hale Family. Dr. Hale writes of him: "He used to say that he held me in his arms before I was an hour old, and I do not doubt it is true. I have tried to describe him in a chapter of a little book of mine called 'A New England Boyhood.' He was loyal to the last degree, was affectionate, and had curious variety of resources which very much endeared him to such boys as we were in my father's house. He never used a profane or impure word while he was with us children. As he was to us an authority in all matters of gai'dening, of carpentry, of driving and the care of horses, we came to regard him as omniscient and omnipotent in certain lines." Dr. Hale has represented him in several of his stories, usually as "Fullum," as he persisted in spelling the name, and as it was spelled in Fitchburg, although urged by the Doctor to conform it to the spelling in general use. Dr. Hale writes: "Fullum is the character from which I made the study of Silas Ransom in my book called 'Philip Nolan's Friends,' and in another book of mine called 'East and West.' " "Fullum" is also mentioned in Dr. Hale's "Memories of a Hundred Years," in the first volume of which is a portrait of Abel Fulham drawn by Ellen D. Hale, a daughter of the Doctor. It appears from "A New England Boyhood" that the Hales supposed Abel Fulham to be much older than he was. The Doctor refers to him as "at once the Hercules and the Apollo of our boyhood"; but whether his age was estimated from his size and strength when he went to the Hales does not appear. He evidently was willing that they should think him older than he was. He seems to have inherited much of his father's ability to do and to endure. Dr. Hale says that he would sometimes wish to visit his friends in Fitchburg; would start from Boston in the evening; go on foot to the family home in West Fitch- burg, some forty-four miles, before morning; and return in the same way. His attachment to the Hales with whom he had spent most of his life continued to the end. His final call was at Dr. Hale's house, where he asked for "Mr. Ed- FULIIAM. .^1 \v;uil." who was away; ht< llit-n inqiiiriMl for the Doctor's Blttterg, made IiIh dally call on them, returned to his home, and never left II again. it:; (V.)

June 4. lSS(j; dau. of Nathan and Artemisia (Bablil Seymour, of Webster. N. Y. His farm was ten miles east of Rochester, five miles south of Lake Ontario, and one mile from Webster Village. He was a very strong man. and showed family characteristics. Sewall Fulham — 277. once saw him at Rochester, and. in a letter written Apr. 1(>. ISCS. says: "'I once called on a distant relative In Rochester. N. Y.. whom I had never seen. I found him and asked him if his name was Fulham; he said, 'yes,' and, after looking at me a moment, he said, 'Your name is Fulham too.' — 'How do you know?' — 'Because you look pret^lsely like my father.' " Sewall Fulham's likeness is at 277, and the descendants of Elisha Fulham — 90, on looking at it, if they have no portrait of this ancestor, perhaps may discover some resemblance to members of the family. A letter dated "Webster, Monroe Co., N. Y.. July 21. 1847," from Nelson Fulham to Sewall Fulham, contains the names, dates of birth, death, and marriage of various descendants of Nelsons grandfather, corresponding, generally, with those in this volume; and some children that died young, whose names are now inserted without marginal numbers. He says: "I think my oldest half-sister has the Bible that had that record, she lives in Cattaraugus Co.. N. Y I don't recollect of hearing Father say anything al>out but one brother, he was older than my Father, his name was Jacob." This is Jacob — 83. who was the only brother, and younger than Elisha — 90, son of Elisha — 22. The chain is thus made complete to connect this branch of the family with Judge Francis Fulham of Weston. Ms. The letter further says of Nelsons father: 'Elisha Fulham died May 30. 1824 and was 72 years old the February before he died." His birth recorded in Harvard. Ms., was, "Feb. 14. 1752." a further agreement. »> chil. b. in Penfield. 3 b. & d.. names and dates not given. 215 1. Nathan Sf:v.moir Fii.ham (445). of Rochester. N. Y.. b. Oct. 15. ^'^^^]. 216 2.

Sewall Fulham, Jr., was born in a house, then standing on the east side of the way, about a furlong northerly from Twenty Mile Stream Cemetery, after- wards moved and made an outbuilding of the dwelling nearest the cemetery. He inherited in a marked degree the distinguishing characteristics of both parents, and their first common American progenitor. He was the eldest of six children, and on his young shoulders rested a large part of the care and burden of the family, the duties of the father taking him much from home. Schools were few and poor, and his necessary employment about the farm so engrossed his boy- hood that all his schooling did not exceed six months. He early evinced great fondness for books; the number within reach was small, but the contents of these became his permanent possession for he forgot nothing. He had mastered arithmetic, geography, and what history come in his way, but knew nothing of grammar until, at the age of about eighteen, an accident nearly ended his earthly career. While chopping in the woods some half a mile from home, the axe struck his foot making a deep wound. He started at once for home in a lengthened route to and by the highway, over which his father was ex- pected about that time. When the exercise of walking had restored the circulation to his be- numbed feet, the loss of blood soon became so great, that, being unable to stand, he was forced to creep on his hands and knees. Then began a struggle for life up a long hill. His father did not come; his cries for help wei'e unheeded; his track through the snow was stained with the lifeblood that was fast flowing away. While he had any strength he would go on; he must reach home or die by the way. He came within sight of the house, but was neither seen nor heard. The daylight faded; — was it the night of death descending on him? He was not discouraged; while he had a gasp of breath he would fight for life. At last he dragged himself into the yard, where he fell lifeless. His mother discovered him lying in the path, bore him into the house, bound up his wounded foot, and finally restored him to consciousness. He lay helpless for weeks; but, when the crisis had passed, with returning strength, he called for books, and all that could be borrowed were brought to him. Among these was Lindley Murray's Grammar, and this he completely mastered and committed to memory, so that he could repeat it from beginning to end before he left his bed. When able to go out, being yet unfit for work, his father took him to a school some miles away, that he might, for a short time, receive instruction from a competent master. After this had continued about three weeks the teacher was called to his sick wife in another state, and, regarding his new pupil as best qualified to preside in his absence, left the school in his charge, expecting to return soon. The absence continued for weeks, and when the returning master Sewall Fulham — 277, at 62. FUIJIAM. 59 entered school in tlu- midst of a session. In* was so niudi ph'ascii with iia oondl tion :iiui progress, that he went back lo his wife, leaving ti>e boy-tutor to (InlHh the scliool. Tliis lie did to the satisfaction of all concerned, and established for himself the reputation of a suecessful teacher, which he maintain<'d while teach- ing twelve sjiccessive winters. He emi)loyed his leisure In study, and thus ac- quired, if not nuK h learning, what was of greater value, a good education. In 1S14, Sewall Fulham, then a boy of fifteen, enlisted in a company of volun- teers, hastily raised in Cavendish to reinforce the national troops, in an aj)- proaching conflict with the British; and marched with his comrades, thirty miles, to Rutland, where they learned that the battle of IMattsburg had been fought, and a notable victory won, by our combined army and navy, on Septem- ber 11. Here ended his service as a volunteer, but he soon found a jilace in the militia, and, at an early age l>ecame Captain of the Reading company. Among a diversity of gifts that fitted him for almost any profession or em- ployment. Mr. Fulham had mechanical ingenuity that was serviceable in many ways. In the early days of Vermont the shoes of a family were made and re- paired by a cobbler that went his round from house to house, called "Whipping the cat." This was the method at the Fulham homestead, and the boy Sewall. attentively observing the process, and thinking he could do the work, procured by piecemeal the necessary outfit, and, for years, made and mended the boots and shoes of the family. So well did he do repairing that, after he became a lawyer, he sometimes did for himself or his friends what ordinary shoemakers could not do. On one occasion his eccentric neighbor, lawyer W., when prepar- ing for the County Court at Woodstock, discovered a rip in his boot, and took it to shoemaker .lohn Dennett, for repair. Dennett said: "It ought to be closed on the inside, but I can't do it." "Who can do it?" asked W. "Nobody that I know of but Fulham," said Dennett. W. carried the boot to Fulham, told what Dennett had said, and very politely requested him to mend the boot in the manner described. Mr. Fulham also was getting ready for court, but. thinking that the easiest way to be rid of one as long of wind as he was of limb, was to comply, he took the boot to the shop and closed the gap, much to the gi-atification of W., who was profuse in thanks, and, on reaching the county seat, exhibited the repaired boot to the bench and bar, expatiating on the work of Mr. Fulham as a masterpiece of art. Mr. Fulham learned the trade of carpenter and joiner. He framed buildings for his neighlxirs, and built a house for himself, near his father's house, on the farm in Reading, and many more in Ludlow during the early years of his resi- dence there. The covered suspension bridge of wood, that, for thirty-five years, spanned the river on Main Street, was contrived by him, and erected under his direction, as first of a building committee appointed by the town in is:r>0. After the burning of Black River Academy in 1M4, it was determined to convert the abandoned Union Meeting-house, of brick, into an academy in the lower story, and a town hall above; and Mr. Fulham, who was one of the Trustees of the academy, was put in charge of the work by the town and the academy corpora- tion. He devoted the summer of 1S4.") almost exclusively to this work, procuring 60 FULHAM. releases of the rights of pew-owners in the meeting-house, directing the work, and putting his own money into it in behalf of the academy, as he had done in the erection of the first building. He wished the rising generation to enjoy the advantages for education of which he had been deprived, and probably did more for the academy than any other person during his life. He was skilled in land-surveying, which, like most of his knowledge, was acquired without a master. He borrowed a text-book, and, occasionally, as he progressed, would walk several miles after a day's work, to the house of an old surveyor, where the two would spend half the night discussing some knotty problem. This was the only help he ever had in mathematics. It would seem that his first experience in legal proceedings was in prosecu- ting delinquents, by court-martial, while a captain of militia. His father tried many cases as a magistrate, and spent much time in bringing about settlements of controversies without recourse to law, so that his wife was accustomed to say that he was as much a lawyer as a minister. He owned the statutes of the state, and, from these, the son soon became thoroughly acquainted with the laws of Vermont, at the same time learning something of practice by being pi'esent at courts held by his father, and drafting legal instruments under his father's direction. At the age of about twenty-two he began to appear as coun- cil in the justice courts of Reading and its vicinity. Mrs. Fulham, although very domestic in her life and habits, possessed a strong mind and great force of character, and she exerted a marked influence over her husband for fifty years. To her he owed more than to all others for his achieve- ments in life. She perceived and appi'eciated his remarkable gifts, and urged him to develop them in an occupation better fitted lor their exercise and growth than that of a farmer or mechanic. Under her inspiration, after pursuing the study of medicine for some time, he finally decided on law as a profession. He began reading elementary works borrowed from a lawyer in an adjoining town in the summer of 1826, and continued this until April 16, 1828, when, with his little family, he removed to Ludlow. Here he formally entered on the study of law under the tuition of the only resident attorney, meantime working at his trade of carpenter, in the hayfield, surveying land, and teaching public schools in winter, and private pupils at other times, for the support of his family. Near the end of his first year as a student at law, the defendant in a suit brought by his tutor, applied to Mr. Fulham to act as his attorney, which he agreed to if his tutor did not object. Consent was easily obtained, and the suit was tried before a justice and jury, the pupil being pitted against his tutor for the first time. The result was a verdict for the defendant, which so cha- grined and offended the tutor that he refused to have Mr. Fulham longer as a pupil; and, when he applied for admission to offices in the adjoining town of Cavendish, Mr. Fulham was told that the tutor's protest had been entered against his being received, and the attorneys did not like to quarrel with a prominent and influential brother lawyer; but that they would lend the applicant as many books as he wanted. Under the rules governing admission to the bar such preparation was not sufficient; but, perceiving that the design was to drive him I'l'IJIAM. 61 from town, or to kotp liim out of the proft'ssion, Mr. Fulhain (li'tcrmined that it sliould not succeed. He now bepan to practice on his own account lM>rore justiips, taking powers of attorney I'lom clients when cases went to tlie County Court; and he soon realized enough from this for the support of his family. When he had studied as long as the court rules requircil for admission, he submitted him.self to the usual examination, and passed it witli credit; l)ut admission was refusee admitted to the bar. althou.y;h he had not pursued his studies under an attorney of the court; but the bill failed to pass the House. l>eing opposed by the lawyers. The next year he was again Representative from Lud- low. — as he was for eight consecutive years, — and he secured the passage of a similar bill through the House; but it was lost in the Senate. In the third year, after his bill had passed the house by an overwhelming majority, but before it came up for action in the Senate, prominent lawyers of that body from Windsor County, wishing to avoid the responsibility of defeating a measure so popular in the House, but fearing the effect of such a general law, sought an interview with the Representative from Ludlow, and proposed that, if he would cease to urge the passage of his bill, they would use their influence to have him admitted to the bar at the next term of court. To this he assented, and in November, 1836, at the age of thirty-seven years, he became a member of Wind- sor County Bar in spite of the rules. The name Sewall Fulham, Jr.. first appears in the list of attorneys-at-law on the calendar for May Term. is:;?, but his practice in court had attained such dimensions that, at the next following term. November. 1S37. his name stands as council in G4 of the 348 cases appearing there. He assumed at once a promi- nent position at the bar of Windsor County, at that time and for many following years one of the strongest in the state; and he maintained it as long as he was able to attend court, practicing also in other counties of Vermont, in New Hamp- shire, and sometimes in the State of New York. Sewall Fulham was never an office-seeking iKditiclan. but he recognized the duty of every citizen to study and advance the true principles of government, and a proper administration of the laws. He held many positions of honor and trust, conferred by the town and by the Legislature. Besides numerous minor oflftces, and his services as Representative from Ludlow, ending with 184L — after which he declined to be a candidate. — in 1842, he represented Ludlow as a Delegate to a Convention for revising the State Constitution. He was several times tendered a nomination on the whig ticket, — always equivalent to an elec- tion, — to the State Senate, which he refused. In 1S39, In Joint Assembly, he 62 FULHAM. was appointed to settle the concerns of the Vermont State Bank, the duties of which appointment he discharged; and, at the same session, he was asked to accept the office of Judge, which he declined. After his retirement from the Legislature he was four times elected by that body State's Attorney for Wind- sor County. The construction of Rutland & Burlington Rail Road, begun in 1847, was ac- companied by great disorders and the commission of murders and other crimes by the laborers, who brought with them here the ancient feuds that had existed for centuries between the inhabitants of petty kingdoms that once divided Ire- land, and now prevented the immigrants from one section of the island being mingled wtih those from any other, in the same work. Mr. Fulham had held the office of State's Attorney two terms, and was regarded as the best man at the Windsor County Bar to cope with this new disturbing element. He was urged to accept the office again, and was twice elected by the Legislature, re- maining in office until the excavation was finished. During this period he de- voted a large part of his time to the repression of crime and the prosecution of criminals, on the line of the road. Then, as always, crime was chiefly the result of indulgence in intoxicating drinks; and the State's Attorney put forth strenuous efforts to suppress their sale, seizing and .destroying liquors, when found under conditions that indicated ati intention to sell illegally; thus forestalling one feature of the prohibitory law, enacted years after, without legal authority. In one instance, with his own hands, he knocked in the heads of several barrels found in the Irish shanties of Ludlow, spilling their contents. All this was exasperating to lawbreakers. Suits of trespass were brought against him, and his life was often threatened; but these could not deter him. It was in the trial of four Irishmen for the murder of Matthew Leonard, — one of the most atrocious crimes ever committed, in which between 50 and 100 laborers from one district of Ireland were engaged in the slaughter of one from another district, of whom they were afraid on account of his superior strength, dragging him from his bed in the night while known to be intoxicated, and butchering him in, presence of his wife and children, — that, after Mr. Fulham, in closing, had made one of his most masterly efforts, characterized by the coi'- respondent of a Boston Daily as: "An argument of scalping-knife sarcasm and sledge-hammer force," the wife of William Wright, one of the criminals tried, while with him in jail where he was confined, expressed her animosity in the hearing of the jailor, Zerah Lull, in a petition addressed to some real or im- aginary power, thus: "Sind thot Phullum to the lowest, hahtest earner o' Hell, with niver a drahp o' wather." An extensive law practice in a small Vermont town, near the middle of the nineteenth century, was a severe test of physical endurance; but with great in- tellectual endowments was combined a physique that for nearly forty-five years enabled Mr. Fulham to attend every term of Windsor County Court. When he came to Ludlow he could outlift the town giant, Ben Sargent; no man in town could lay him on his back; and old residents have told the Author of seeing him bear a thousand shingles in a bunch, on his shoulder, up a ladder, to the roof in ■ I.I I AM. *y^ ot" ii two-story lumse. Soon alter tlie onlliiaiioii of his ftitlier, he walked rtevfiul milt's from home to auothfr town, to borrow some tool of a carpi'iitL'r whom he found ereciting a frame with the help of th<» ahh' men of the vicinity. 11»! U8- sisted in the "raising," and then the men gathered around a huge watering- trough ill whitii tile ice was beginning to form, for the eustomary drink from a bottle about to a|)itear. A burly fellow, aniiouiuing himself to be the best man present, declared his intention to have the llrst drink at the head of the trough, and, starting from the foot, removed, with more or less resistance from each, all standing in his way, until ho reached young F'ulham, who, being a stranger, e.xpected to escape the ordeal; but, rinding himself suddenly iu^sailtnl, he grappled with the bully and threw him at full length into the trough, from which he emerged a wiser and a wetter man. The carpenter, who was some- thing of a wag, consoled his crest-fallen neighbor by saying: "Vou ought to know better than to try it on Fulhara, his father is a Baptist minister, and the Baptists are famous for getting folks under water." His medical studies and his sympathetic nature made him one of the best of nurses; his services were in frequent demand, and for many years they were freely bestowed on the afflicted whenever possible. His tender compassion for all that suffered, from whatever cau.se, was extreme; and, though never a member of the church, he knew the Bible almost by heart. He cherished the highest faith in God and the immortal life, and he could offer the best consolation to the bereaved. He used to tell, with relish, his experience in a neighl)oring family, where he "watched" with a young da\ighter, sick unto death of scarlet fever, which he there contracted, and of which he nearly died. On the daughter's death, he tried to comfort the mother, a member of the Baptist Church, with assurances, drawn from his own faith, of the higher life, in which the daughter was better off than here, and where, purified from the stains of earth, all would finally be gathered and dwell together in peace and love. The mother, in de- scribing this to a friend, said: "It was so consoling; I should really have thought Mr. Fulham was a Christian if I hadn't known he wasn't." She had not learned to apply the scripture: "By their fruits shall ye know them." His early practice involved much night work. Jury trials in neighlxiring towns often began with the going down of the sun, and sometimes lasted until its rising. He often slept as he rode home; but, like Horace Greeley, his sleep was of the body and not of the mind while anything required attention. He would fall asleep during the argument of opposing council in a justice and jury trial, and, when aroused by his client, anxious lest some advantage should l)e lost by not hearing his adversary, he would say: "Well! I know all about it!" and, when he came to reply, he would answer every point made against him. He had a sparkling wit, a store of knowledge on all ( urrent topics, and an inexhaustible fund of stories which he would embellish with perfect mimicry. These qualities made him a most delightful companion in hours devoted to social enjoyment; and, in country trials where he was known, for many year? it was necessary only to say: "Fulham will be there," to i)ack the room with those that would come to enjoy the fun that he would make. and. if necessary. fi4 FULHAM. stay all night to hear it. In some places all the large boys in. winter schools would run away to hear him. An eminent clergyman, reared in Plymouth, after the death of Mr. Fulham, said: "I often did this. At that time I really thought that Mr. Fulham must be the greatest man in the United States." In many cases the opposite party declared that Fulham had laughed him out of his case. He had an aptness at repartee seldom equalled, in which he never suffered by comparison with a competitor. In trying his first case at Newport, N. H., the opposing council, whose head was nearly as bald as an egg, at the end of each point in his argiiment, said: "Is it possible the council is so thick haired that-- he can't see this?" In beginning his reply Mr. Fulham said: "Gentlemen of the Jury! It is true that my hair is thick; it is also true that the gentleman's head is nearly destitute of capillary adornment; but I have never learned that the poverty of a crop is evidence of superior fertility in the soil that bears it." The "Book of Books," indispensible in the home of a clergyman, was among the first entertainments of Mr. Fulham's childhood. The Bible was diligently studied by him in youth, and, during life, it was read more than any other book, so that his quotations from it were likely to be verbatim, and this intimate acquaintance with Scripture was often serviceable. While attending court in a distant part of Vermont, held by a Judge before unknown, during a recess, the Judge said: "Brother Fulham, I understand you are a believer in the final restitution of all things." "I am," was the reply. "May I ask what evidence you have for such a belief?" asked the Judge. "It is that 'which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began,' " said Mr. Fulham. "Well! I don't see but your authorities are conclusive," said the Judge. In 1839 he was a delegate to a convention of Universalists, at which the case of a young clergyman, charged with the breach of a promise to marry, was for trial. By advice of Mr. Fulham, who sat near him, the young man acknowl- edged the truth of the charge, giving wliat he thought a sufficient reason for his act. Another clergyman advocated his cause and moved that the young brother be forgiven, citing as a precedent the case of the Prodigal Son. An elderly clergyman, noted for his testy sayings, who favored more severe treat- ment, here sprang to his feet exclaiming: "Ah! but the cases are different; we do not read that the prodigal came back with a lawyer at his elbow." "But we do read that he had a surly elder brother that wouldn't forgive him," said Mr. Fulham. The elder brother was hit, dropped into his seat, and said no more. His memory was seldom at fault. He would sing for the children a song that pleased him, the words and tune of which he had first heard during an absence from home. He would relate with the most minute details amusing incidents within his experience. And, in his last days, his son wrote from his lips the prayers his grandfather was accustomed to say seventy years before. He could recite the contents of books from which he read in school days, and the poems then familiar to him. He was fond of poetry, delighting especially in the poems of Pope and Burns. He had learned "Pope's Essay on Man" from using it as a "parsing book" in teaching; and he knew many of Burns's poems. iW had a gilt of viTBifualion, and used lo say ihai Uv tliouglii he luiKlii Imve been sonutliiiiK of a poet, but. at twelve years, his fath«'r lloKKt^d lilni for wrillu« a lampoon in rhynu^ on their nearest neighbor, ami took the divine alllatUH out of him. He often improvised orally for the ainuscnieiit of (lilidreii, but seldom wrote in verse, except aljout some person or class, obnoxious to his senstr of decency or propriety; and none of these were printed. To illustiale, a fragment from memory, written in the forties. Is appended It relates to one Timothy Haild. commonly called "L'ncle Tim." a villaK<' factoium, who enjoyed a practical monopoly in 'nianaRiiiK funerals"; and introduces a long, lank, lame, cadaverous shoemaker, named Warren Pease, and nicknamed "Deacon," l>ecause of his .solemn visage. It may suggest "Death and l»r. llornlMJOk, ' by Robert Burns: Two funerals came off one day, one North, the other South; And Tim was mad. the people say. he couldn't manage both. So. walking madly down the path, old Deacon Pease he met; And. thinking him his patron. Death, went at him in a p« t : "You long-legged, limping, shambling scamp! why do you manage so? One at a time, and 1 will tramp, and lay their bodies low; But when you take off two at once, half of my custom's gone; So now. you mean. old. blundering dunce! be satisfied with one. And if you do the like again, I'll lay you on your back: I'll stretch you out upon the plain, and then your head 111 crack." The Deacon, thinking Tim quite mad, went off without reply; And Tim. quite happy, thought he had obtained a victory. Alas! Alas! when the dread monster. "Grim. " Shall call and snatch away old uncle Tim; What shall we do when anybody dies? For who shall manage their sad obsequies? With hat on head, who'll walk up the broad aisle, And give his orders in such pompous style? Flourish his small Idaik cane with ease and grace. And show each foolish clown into his place? Productions like this, with the fearless castigation of evil doera, the dishonest and immoral, wherever they fell under his censorship, of course made aU such his enemies; and. in the years of deliility preceding his death, when he could no longer protect himself from their attacks, they found many ways of revenging themselves on him; but no respectable person ever charged him with immorality. Mr. Fulham did not seek for wealth, and he had no "Low ambition." He often said: "I never knew a Fulham that was rich, and i don't waul to be. " He did much professional work where there was no hope of recompense; he gave lil>er- ally for all objects deemed worthy; and he almost literally obeyed the injunc- tion: 'From him that would borrow of thee, turn not thou away. " At his death the uncollectible debts due him far exceeded in amount the value of his estate. His early gifts to the children were generally books suited to their years, but these were held by uncertain tenure; for. although his children clung tenai lously to their favorites, and often found it hard to give them tiii. it was under.stooiu iboo'^.as iiaiiv/ ob yw iisiiy ijiii v "Resolved, That in his professional life the community' in which he lived, the County and the State have lost a man of high quality of native ability, and of zeal in the advocacy of the causes of his clients which commends itself to our admiration. iiiima ain rf^i'uioi- "Resolved, That in the public stations in which he has been called to serve, he has shown himself a citizen of marked ability, influence, and devotion to the best interests of the State and Nation. "Resolved, That the Court be requested to direct the Clerk to enroll these resolutions upon the record." Few men ever entered the profession with so little help from others, and yet, few have achieved equal success, owing, entirely, to his great native endowments. He was, most emphatically, what has been termed a self-made man; and yet it was not he, but God had made him one of the noblest of his creatures. He rarely made a mistake in anything he undertook; whatever was presented, his mind seemed to comprehend the situation at once. His work as a lawyer was equally excellent whether as draftsman, jury advocate, or in discussing legal principles before the higher courts. His memory enabled him to refer to re- ported cases by title, volume, and page, with a statement of the doctrine taught. His powers, towards the end, sometimes were obscured by disease, but they were Fl'KlIAM. e sleeping, when the word prpsiilcut was pronounced. He openetl his eyes and asked, "Is Hayes elected?" These were his last words; he sank like a child into the sleep that knows no waking on earth. He died in the faith of Universalism, which he had cherished from his youth; a faith that helped to make him one of the most just, benevolent, unselfish, and patient of men. His housekeeper who had been with him six months said: "I never heard him complain of anything, or say anything unkind." At one time, when he thought himself dying, he said: "The longer I live, the brighter my faith grows in the final restitution of all things." In his last audible prayer he asked for the blessing of God on himself, his children, and posterity, and on all men; and that the "Merciful Father" would "Deliver mankind from their horrible theologies." 68 FULHAM. His wife had preceded him by twenty months. During that time he liad con- stantly t'elt her loss in his shattered home; and, in the quiet of a Sunday after- noon, with no one present but his son to close his eyes, his great soul took its flight to join her in the hereafter. 5 chil. b. 1, in Reading; the rest in Ludlow, Vt. 278 1.

He was a Director in the coi'poration of Clark Hutchinson Co., wholesale shoe dealers. He was one of the most expert men in Boston on credits and accounts, having great judgment and in- sight in this line. He was for a long time vice-president of the Boston Credit Men's Association, and assistant secretary and member of Ex- ecutive Committee of the Boston Boot and Shoe Club. He was a Trustee of the Franklin Savings Bank, director of the Washington Home, member of the Royal Arcanum, the Boston City Club, the Boston Merchants' Association, the Sons of the American Revolution, and the National Arts Club of New York. He was a staunch Unitarian, a mem- ber of the First Parish, Brookline. "For a layman he had an unusual knowledge of law and medicine. His talent as an artist was marked. He studied with Enneking. In spite of his broad interests, he was essentially a home man. His devo- tion to his family was unusually beautiful. His modest and unassuming manner covered the greatest qualities, justice, honor, courage, kindness of heart, and singular gentleness. His friendly and sincere interest in every one with whom he came in contact, his pleasant humor, en- deared him to all who knew him. His motto was: 'The pleasure of doing good is the only one that never wears out.' " — From an obituary notice written by his daughter. 2 chil. b. in Somerville, Ms. 331 I.Irving Peabody Kimball, b.

"Trenton," on the European Station, from 1877 to 1879. He was Watch Officer on the U. S. S. "Swatara," on the China Station in 1879-1882, and was promoted to Ensign in March, 1880.

"Terror" in the summer of 1905, on practice cruises with midshipmen. Ho was promoted Commander July 1, 1905. Commander Fulham was ordered to the command of the U. S. S. "Glacier," Sep. 15, 1905, and in November following was ordered for special duty, with the Glacier and the colliers Brutus and Caesax under his command, to tow the "Dewey" — the largest dry dock in the world, with a lifting capacity of 20.000 tons — from Chesapeake Bay to the Philippines, some 12.0'Ht miles. He did not approve of the method adopted for performing this difficult and hazardous undertaking, and, at his request, he was relieved from the command of the expedition. He then became commander of the Marietta, and. in 190G. he landed a force from the Marietta at Cienfuegos for the preservation of plantations, public property, and the property of foreigners, threatened by insurgenti; in Cuba, which was followed by the second intervention of the U. S. Government in Cuban affair.-^. In the spring of l£t07, still commanding the Marietta, he ren- dered a yet greater service in the cause of peace and good order, by teaching beleaguerers on the coast of Honduras and Nicaragua, in a lesson not soon to be forgotten, their obligation to resjiect and observe the flags, the rights, and the property of neutral nations and their citizeu.s. In this he showed a knowledge of international law. and a capacity for its administration that won for him general commendation at home ami abroad. The "Army and Navy Register" of April 6, 1907, published at WashingtoJi, said of Commander Fulham: "He has again proved equal to a delicate situation and has jusutitd llie expecta- tions of his seniors in the aer\ice, who have observed him as a man of readinetii! of resource, intrepidity of action, and as diplomatic as he is fearless." In July. 1907. he was ordered to NewiK)rt. R. I., as Commandant of the Naval Training Station there. June. 1909. he was promoted to the grade of Captain, and in December he was ordered to command the battleship Mississippi 2 rhll. oOfi l.M.\Ki.\XA Emoky PiiaiAM Sanhs*. b. Apr. lo, ISns, in Brooklyn.

VOLNEY SEWALL FULHAM (280) of Ludlow, Vt., son of Sewall and Eunice Howe (Goddard 86) Fulham (277), a lawyer, first of Ludlow, after- wards of New York City, and the author of this genealogy, b. July 16, 183iJ. (Autobiographical). ""'I was born in the front room of the easterly tenement in the fifth house east from the Library on lower Main Street in Ludlow, now owned by Mary Loraine Gordon Sargent (1). When I began to walk, in my first year, an older boy, son of Elias Hurlburt, the Baptist minister living in the other tenement, re- peatedly pushed me over, which so angered my mother that she insisted on moving immediately. My father began to build a house on the south side of what was then called Water Street, and, until it should be habitable, took a house built into the bank behind the present Baptist Parsonage on High Street, with two stories in front and one in rear, where we stayed until one chilly evening of early November, in my sixteenth month, the family went to its permanent home. I remember that there was no front door when we entered, a blanket being hung across the opening, and that the sitting-room was filled with smoke from a fireplace. The next day I found a work-bench in the parlor, where I watched the carpenters making pretty curling ribbons from the edges of boards, which I gathered. I selected curious blocks of the same form and size, sawn from mouldings, in fitting them at the corners of door and window casihgs, which I put together in a symmetrical square on the top of a post at the foot of the stairs, where I thought it was needed, an early foreshadowing of mechanical traits developed in later years. ' ^^ ' » .sniJlBJi^birr; While in petticoats, it was remarked that my form was unlike that of other children, more resembling maturity, and I was called "the little man." My mother emphasized the peculiai'ity by making me a suit with trousers earlier than they were worn by other boys, after which she never got me into petticoats again. At the house in the bank, my mother left me for a moment on the floor, and, on I'eturning. found me seated with my feet out the window, two stories above the ground. When two or three years old my father left me on a scaffold of the barn, bidding me stay where I wafe while he crossed by a scant- ling from the doorway to the entrance of a loft over the woodhouse that cornered with the barn, and got some lumber. On his return he went below to pick up his hammer, discovered my shadow 6n the scantling, and, keeping under the substance while I crossed as he had to the loft, told me to stay there while he brought a ladder, with which he took me down, I having obeyed him literally in all. And I early climbed nearly all the neighboring trees on the street. At ei.ght years, my father said he thought I could lift him, then weighing more than "200 pounds, and bade me try by grasping' his thighs, by which I raised him from the floor; and there then was promise that I might gi'ow into resem- blance of my herculean ancestors; but in infancy I nearly died of a bowel com- plaint, as my mother said; it afflicted my childhood, became chronic in youth, and doubtless prevented my normal development and growth. In summer it was worse, while in winter I was nearly free from it. >L^.i ,6l I'll.IIAM. 85 At Hlxteen. being nearly six fe«>t tall nmt woIkIiIiik 1 i" |)oiinr tban I whom I had thrown. fulUiWfd hv a blow from ino that r^Hpiirfd no ropfiitlnir. l)ls>,'UKif<| at In-InK found In hii«h n hIiuhiIou.

Of these 1 taught one full t»-rni and parUi of three others, njid my aiitbority never was su« cesHfully re«lsteil. During the builditig of the Iliitland & Burling- ton Hailroad. in the fall of 1.S-J9, I was called to assist in quelling a riot, in which, after jnu< b firing into shanties at night and fre«iuent pugilistic encounters by day. more than l.nnu laborers from one district of Ireland, armed with all available weapons from muskets to pickhandles, came down from the Summit and Mount Holly to drive from the roi'k-cut of Section Hight in I.udlow, some 4i>ii of their countrymen from another part of that island, having brought with them and continueil here feuds of the ancient petty kingdoms ther« The authorities were a deputy sheriff and a justict- of the peace, both elderly men. and I was the sol.- representative of the po.isi'-^'nmitalvs \Vi> met the rioters as they came in squails, capturing scune from each, while the rest ran away; and finally, by a charge in a one-hoi-se-wjigon on the main body, put them to flight in all direc- tions, their leader being brought down by a charge of buckshot In his leg from a fowling-piece with which Matthew I^etinard was suppo««*<. and In reading a set of Maryatt in fine type on jioor paper at the age of twelve, my eyes were Injtired so that I was forced to desist: ilurlng my stihsequent school days I could not study at night, and my eye«< have never recovered. At «pven year*. Vor.NKY S. f'l III ^ M 86 FULHAM. while driving the cow home from pasture in early evening, my attention was attracted to a brilliant star; I had learned of the great distance of the heavenly bodies, and, as I gazed at the star, I thought, there is something beyond it, and I perceived the great truth of the infinity of space; that in whatever direction a line is extended it can have no end. This was my earliest, remembered, logical deduction. As a child, I was accustomed to spend unoccupied time at school in listening to recitations, and, by this means, had considerable knowledge of a sub- ject before studying it. When little more than a baby, a private pupil of my father taught me "Those Evening Bells," by Thomas Moore. When I was four, my two. elder sisters, having learned "The Little Graves," some 68 lines, were accustomed to recite it together to entertain callers. I had often heard it, and one evening, when they became embarrassed and could not go on, I prompted them, was asked if I could say it, began and went through it; and these, my first acquisitions, are still remembered with many other poems. Among the longest are: "Paradise and the Peri," by Thomas Moore, "The Vision of Sir Launfal," by James Russell Lowell, and "Nothing to Wear," by William Allen Butler. I became critical as to the use of English, as a child. When I was seven a boy of my age from the state of New York used, ungrammatically, the auxiliary icill for sJiall, in the first person, and I knew it was wrong, although I never had been told. At nine years I began the study of Grammar, and criticised the sentence, "See the fly rub his head with both his legs," saying: "A fly has more than two legs." I wished to be educated at West Point, but my mother objected, and, when nearly ready to enter college, preparation was abandoned on account of my ill-health. At the age of eighteen, without instruction or previous ex- perience, and without assistance except in raising the frame, I erected and finished outwardly an oflice building adjoining the house, with rooms for myself up-stairs. Here I began reading law under my father's direction, and, at the age of twenty-one, I was admitted to Windsor County Bar, without much pros- pect of the active practice of my profession. From the age of twenty my health slowly improved, and, during the next ten years, by temperance in all things and the rigorous observance of hygienic laws, I was substantially cured of my ailment. I had not studied surveying in my schooldays, but, finding that an outdoor life was beneficial to my health, when occasion offered, I borrowed the only compass in town and found no difficulty in doing the ordinary work of running lines and measuring land. Where accuracy was required the instrument was insufficient and I bought one of the best Gurley Transits with vernier, telescope, level, and vertical circle; a chain, and a copy of Gillespie's Surveying; and, thus equipped, without instruction, I undertook and accomplished to my own satisfac- tion and that of those that sought my services, whatever was required of civil engineering in the vicinity of Ludlow, until the breaking out of the War of Secession. I was several years Court Auditor for Windsor County by appointment of the Court, without my previous knowledge that I was a candidate. I was Super- I'llJIAM. 67 intendeni of Schools for Ludlow In Isr.T. In Miirrh. 1801, without kiiowluK that I was to lie a cindidati', I was «'l.Mtf(| hy ballot.

Marry: "That yo«ing Mr. Pulham tries his case very well, I think he will sonnKlme sit where I do"; and he made similar remarks to my father and other memlx>rs of the bar; but the prediction nevor came near fulfillment. In jury trials at the County Court, before stenographers were employed, lawyers had to write the testimony of witnesses; and in this I surpassed all others at the table in the rapidity with which I wrote, ami the fullness of my notes. I was employed in taking testimony out of court, and. on May 2-1, 1S5G. between 9 a. m. and 4 p. m., I wrote forty-six depositions as to impoathment. In a chancery suit, attorneys appearing on Ixjth sides and examining witneBses. and some of the depositions exceeding a page of legal-cap. f'xcessive use of the hand in such ways induced writer's cramp, and. during the last forty-five years, I have been unable to use a pen In the usual way. The manuscript for this book is produced by the use of a type-writer. I rarely took part In a criminal trial, but, during my summer vacation in 1871 at Ludlow, a murder was committed, the body Ix'ing found buried In leaves near the village, with a hand organ near by. The man was an Italian, and the companion with whom he had been travelling was arretted five days after he had left town, within twelve miles of the place of the murd«r. and brought bark for trial. He could speak no Knglish. but. through an Italian with a traveling circus, he was made to understand the charge against him. and. when the lawyers present were pointed out. he Indicated me as his choice. I explained to him that If he were guilty 1 should wish him to be punished, but would see that he had a fair trial, with which he was satisfied, and the hearing before a magistrate began. It lasted twelve days, during which I worked continuously, excepting meal-times and al)out threo hours' sleep each night, taking a ma.^» special session.

At the f)rKani7.ation, .\fay L'l'd, I was elected captain by a unanimoiis vote of the enlisted men; and we were mustered, ,Tune L'nih, as 1 f'o. 2d Vt. Vol. Inf., into the r S '.rvi.<> the regiment t)einK the first lor tliree years raised in Vermont. We went to Washinpton, marrhiiiK with loaded mtisketB and full carirldKe- hoxes, through Baltimore, where the fith Mass. had been mohl)ed ; and b*'cam<» part of Ca\. Oliver O. Howard's brigadi'. in Heintzelman's division of the Army of the Potomac; and the 2d Vt. was the first leKiment of the celobrat»'«i First Vermont Brigade, formed under Gen. W. F. Smith in Septeml>er. The only fighting by Vermont troops in ISO! was at Hull Run. The Second V^ermont left camp at Claremont, Va., July Ifith. in liglit marching order, leaving knapsacks and tents behind, and on the night of the 20th. lay on the ground near Onter- ville, under orders to march at 2 a. m. of Sunciay. July 2l8t, when 28,000 raw soldiers were to attack the enemy in a stronghold selecteeine 90 FULHAM. helped along by two soldiers. With one arm around him, and the other bear- ing his sword and revolver, I led and supported him with frequent rests by the way for many hours, and until, on arriving at our last place of bivouac near Centerville, Va., with many stragglers gathered by the way, he was sent in a baggage-wagon at night to a hospital in Washington. About 9 o'clock a. m. of July 22d, the Second Vermont arrived in a rain storm at its camp, "Bush Hill," whence the troops were sent in detachments by rail about four miles to Alex- andria. I remained in camp until every other officer of the 2d had left, and went in with the last train about 6 p. m. in a torrent. At the station in Alex- andria many soldiers were sleeping on the platform, drenched with rain, but unconscious that they were wet; and required the roughest treatment to arouse them. They were taken to the Market where I Co. was assembled; and Col. Howard, passing and learning the situation, assisted me to find quarters for the men in a hall over the Custom House, where they wei'e provided with rations. I found lodgings for myself and my First Lieut., Sherman W. Parkhurst, in the house of a Union family, that of John Ogden, whose acquaintance I had made in passing through the city before; and, at about dark, after sixty -three waking hours, nearly all on my feet, I stretched myself with my Lieutenant upon a feather bed spread on the floor, where I slept fourteen hours continuously. On July 23d, I shook hands with President Lincoln and Secretary Seward in their carriage .before the Custom House, and, probably, was as fit for service as any man of the Second Vermont. An all-day's march from Chain Bridge to Great Falls, Va., escorting artillery and stores through a drenching rain on August 23d, and lying in wet clothes the following night, induced a return of my old malady, which rendered me unfit for duty. This condition was aggravated by the necessity of lying on the ground at night on any extended excursion from camp; after a medical exam- ination, 30 days' leave of absence was granted me; and, on Dec. 19, I left camp for Vermont. On Dec. 23d, by invitation of Governor Holbrook, elected in Sep- tember, I went to Brattleboro, where I was consulted as to the feasibility of sending some portable barracks, then occupied by the 8th Vt. Inf. in the Fair Grounds, for use as field hospitals by the Vermont troops in Virginia, which I advised against as impracticable. On January 11, 1862, in answer to his tele- gram, I visited Gov. Holbrook again and was tendered the office of lieutenant colonel of the Seventh Vermont Infantry then being raised and encamped at Rutland, which I accepted; and, having been discharged from the Second by the War Department to enable me "to accept a higher position," my new com- mission was dated Jan. 19, 1862. As second in command, my position was peculiar. On joining the Seventh I heard it talked of as a reorganization of the First Vermont, a militia regiment sent out at the beginning of the war for three months' service near Fortress Monroe, and brought back with no man killed in action; from the survivors of which thirty-four officers had been commissioned in other Vermont regiments before the mustering of the 7th. Col. Roberts of the 7th, a brother-in-law of Gen. Baxter, had been first lieut. of K Co. in the 1st; and, besides him, 1 Fll.llAM. 1*1 i-aptuiii, 3 lieutenuuUi, '.', sergeuuU), 3 corpuraLs, uiid 4 jirivat^'H of thr* Int, wi>re c-oniniit>sion*>(l in the 7th.

Bwoku repiltid: "On the wholi'. lieutenant. 1 think we wout disturb the meditations of the Governor." The lieutenant did not lonie to Vermont tintil his appointment aH major. It was understood that the 7th would lH In Vir- ginia, and I ai)prehended no emliarrassment from asplranti; to loy iHwilion. The princiiwU labor of drilling fell to me. I was quartered at the Fair (»round in a Sibley tent, from Jan. 14. 1S02; and I generally Flept there with a )' • • and a bundle of straw in a box. often with a temperature of twenty i below zero, for nearly two months. My drilling was as directed by the War Department and praetieed in Virginia. In l>altalion, 1 would explain an in- tended movement to the commanders of companies, and give the order, whith would be followed by confusion and: "Halt!" Another e.\planution would follow with the same results. At first I attributed this to the dullne.s8 of officers taken from a remnant of the 1st, but finally discovered that, added to this, was some knowledge of an antiquated system of tactics enu)loyed by the miliUa. which they, a|)parently. intended lo follow. 1 learned too. that when Colonel Hobert-s drilled in my absence, be used the militia methoils. both in evolutions and in the manual of arms. This was a great hindranecially in a field of snow with the commander on foot. The Eighth Vermont, raLsed under a separate act of the Ijeglslature, was en- listed earlier than the 7th, and the commission of its colonel bore date Nov. 12. while that of the colonel of the 7th was dated Dec. f>lh; but Col. Rolnrts told me he did not mean to be outranked by the eol. of the Sth. and should fill up the 7th as fa.st as possible and have it mustered firsL This resulted in the enrolling of men older than the legal limit and others unfit for service; but the 7th was mustered six days before the .Sth, which, neverthele.ss, left the state flrat and reached its destination Iwfore the 7th, with 7o mon? men and. as shown by results, with much more competent olTicerH. Soon after muster. It was rumoretl that the 7th would go with the Sth to the l>epartnient of the Gulf, as the Governor wished his son to Ije under Gen. John W. i'helps of Urattleboro. I have a letter of the Governor iu which he says: "The reason which imi>elled myself. G«>n. Washburn, aiul Gen. Davis to request thai the 7ih Vt. ilegt. should be hent to the Department of the Gulf was foiindeth as a man and a thoroughly trained and experienced officer, and who would Ik* of benefit to the whole Regiment. It wa.'^ the Regiment rather than simply my son which engaged our thoughifulness iu 92 FULHAM'. the matter." The 7th went to New York March 10th, where the right wing under Col. Roberts, on the ship "Premier," and the left wing under the Lt. Col., on the ship "Tamerlane," embarked on the 11th. We did not sail until the 16th, and on the 15th, learning that no fresh meat had been provided for the voyage, I ordered and receipted for enough to supply both vessels, having that for the "Premier" sent to it down the harbor. The Tamerlane arrived at Ship Island on April 10th. five days after the Premier; and it soon appeared that the 7th Vt. was not in favor with Gen. B. F. Butler, the Department Commander. For many years he had been a Democratic politician and a lawyer in the neighboring state of Massachusetts, whence his unenviable reputation had extended to Vermont; and when he appeared at a session of Vermont Legislature in the fall of 1861, asking that the two regiments then provided for become part of his "New England Division" being raised for service against New Orleans,* only the 8th, was authorized for that service. The colonel and the lieutenant-colonel, appointed to this at his request, were Democratic politicians of Vermont, who had been his associates at the Charles- ton Convention of 1860, at which he had voted persistently for Jefferson Davis as candidate for President. The 8th was armed and equipped at the expense of the Government. These circumstances furnish the only conceivable motive for Gen. Butler's abuse of the 7th Vt. herein described, begun at Ship Island and continued while he remained commander of the department. While directing the erection of my tent, I was summoned to headquarters, where I found Gen. Butler sitting at a desk with pen, ink. and paper. I was allowed to stand while he examined me, writing down the answers as to the dis- embarking of the left wing of the 7th. t The animus prompting this inquisition was so obvious that the replies were guarded, and, not being under oath to tell the whole truth, I said only what the questions required. I was curtly dis- missed, and, on reaching my tent, I found Col. Roberts anxiously awaiting me. Col. Roberts told me that, when informed of the arrival of the Tamerlane, Gen. Butler had sent him an order to disembark the troops with the steamer "Saxon"; and he, presuming that this implied the bringing ashore, with the troops, of such things as were absolutely essential to protect them from the burning sun and frequent storms of that island of sand, only a few feet above the waters of the gulf, and to render them comfortable after thirty days con- finement on shipboard, had directed the quarter-master to bring, also, the tents and messchests. This had detained the Saxon half an hour longer, while Gen. Butler wanted her, and, on learning the cause, he swore that somebody should lose his commission for it. Col. Roberts, hearing of this and fearing for himself, had agreed with the quarter-master to assume the responsibility, and now wished to learn whether anything had been revealed in the interview that would inter- fere with his arrangement. He was reassured by the account given, and the quarter-master was put under arrest; but, as his services were indispensible, he *See "Butler's Book," pajje 300, in which he says that he also asked "from Vermont a battery in addition." which was refused him. tin 'Hutler's Hook," page 2,^S, he complains of similar treatment from Gen.

" The offleers of the 7th were on board the Core*. and. by direetioii of Col. llohert.s, I ejilled on (Sen. WllllainK ami lii'inired whether they should go asiiore; he said "no," and we remained ulM)anl luivlng no eonneclion with the affair. Want of prudent forethought led to landing the negroes on the way down; news of the first landing went to VlekHhnrg; and a battery was sent to inten'«'pt the Ceres in her return. Alniut half past thr«M« a. m., July 2;?d, near Warrenton. where the channel was on the MiKsis-slppI Hide of the river, we were roused from sleep by the trash of artillery and the crack of rifles. Having no convoy, our only hope was to keep up steam anri escape in the darkness, our lights being out. I had partly dressed when a cry came from the captain of the boat to the crew, all southerners: "For Hod's sake don'l leave the boat!" Revolver in hand. I started for the lower deck; when near the entrance to the cabin I fell, but recovered and accomplished my undertak- ing: the steam was kept up and we got beyond reach of the enemy, the Ceres being riddled with solid shot, grape, and cannister from '.\2 discharges of artil- lery, counted by Com. Farragut in the fleet. My cap would not go on; feeling of my forehead, I found a contusion that prevented; and my beard was full of blood. When lights were brought. Cai)t. Lorenzo D. Hrooks of F Co. was found dead in the cabin near where I fell, killed by a six pound shot that had passed through his body. On .luly 24th the fleet and all the troops started i\ovn\ the river for Baton Rouge, where the 7th arrived July 2<'.th and encamped in tents outside the town about a mile from the river. Here we received pay for March and April, the first since leaving Vermont. Baton Rouge had been occupied by Union troops since May; but. although onr force was small and the position much ex- posed to attaik. on An.gnst r>th. not so much as a rifle-pit had l>een made for Its defense. The whole detachment to Fort Pike had now reHirned. b>it nearly two-thirds of the 7th Vt. were on the sick list. anit half of the sick were In hospital near the river, and the rest, mostly able to take care of themselves, were in camp; a few of these jolne'rAKT not named, b., 1807; d., 1808. 10 5.

He left his home in Westminster, when a boy, with his clothes tied in a red bandana handkerchief, his mother paying his stage-fare to Boston, where he arrived with fifty cents in his pocket, his whole available capital. He went thence to East Bridgewater, Ms., to learn the mason's trade. At an early age he returned to Boston to engage in business, and at 18 he showed such capacity, that, with the aid of a capitalist that appreciated and trusted him, he entered into a large building contract that proved profitable, and was the beginning of a suc- cessful career, in which he became one of the largest contractors in Boston. At first he lived out of the city, and. starting from home as early as 4 o'clock A. M., if he arrived before light, he would lie on a pile of boards until it was light enough to work; and if any man in his employ was late he was not allowed to work that day. He erected large blocks of houses in the Highlands and other parts of Boston; the Fitchburg Railroad Station, from Fitchburg granite; the Boston Museum; the United States Hotel; and many Roman Catholic Churches of the city. He invested largely in real estate with such judgment and foresight that he realized great profits from it. He became a large holder of stock in the Boston & Albany Railroad Co., and the Roxbury Gas Co.; and in these and other ways accumulated a large fortune. For many years he was a Director of the People's Bank, and an Alderman of Roxbury. He hung the clock of the Fitch- burg Station on one of the coldest days of winter, without protection for his hands; and, being familiar with their hardships, was a friend of the deserving poor, helping many to become owners of homes. He died at his home near Boston, his wife surviving him. 17 (VI.) EZRA CURTIS (11) of Leominster, Ms., b. Mar. 17, 1812; d. June 3, 1862; m. Mar. 20, 1834, MELISSA HASTINGS, b. Feb. 17, 1811; d.

Isaac was an elder brother of Joseph; lot No. 6 stood on the Proprietor's Book in the name of Joseph Dana; and the next year after his death it was conveyed, 1779, to his son Joseph of Ipswich, Ms. There is no evidence that Joseph and Mary Dana ever lived in Pomfret, Vt. ; their last place of residence apparently was in Lebanon, N.

In "Sprague's Annals of the American Pulpit," Vol. 1, p. 597, it is said of him that: "He supplied the pulpit of the Old South Church, Boston, with much acceptance, for six months, and would, it is said, have received an invitation to a permanent settlement there but that his voice was thought scarcely adequate to fill so large a building." He was subsequently invited to Ipswich, and having remained there as a candidate for a year or more, he received a call from the church and society to become their pastor. He was ordained Nov. 7, 1765; received the degree of D. D. from Harvard in 1801; and he preached a sermon on the 60th anniversary of his ordination. 8 chil. 13 1.

J., and Katharine Van Gorder, from Pa., of Ijivonia, Mich. — Marshall was a son of Isaac of Pa., and grandson of John Jacob Everett, who came from Woldorf, Ger., and was the godfather of John Jacob Astor, his kinsman, who employed Jacob, a surveyor, son of John Jacob Everett, to go to British Columbia to survey and buy furs. Jacob made many journeys in this employment, with a party of Indians; and, finally, he and all but one of his party were murdered in their tents, just as peace was declared after the Revolution. It was reported that Jacob Everett found a great treasure for his employer, who suddenly became very rich; and the father's life was embittered by Astor's neglecting to obtain justice for the slaughter of his son. John Jacob Everett was a powerful man and many stories are preserved of his strength and valor. He died fighting for his country. John Jacob Everett had a third son, John, the godfather of Mary Harvey's husband. The two brothers, Isaac and John, were killed; and Isaac's eldest son, Isaac, Jr., inherited all his father's property. The two younger sons, John and George, went to Michigan. John went on foot, and, at the age of 19, took up a half section of land in Livonia, being assisted by Lewis Cass, a friend of his father. The Van Gorders came from Holland with the Dutch that settled in New York. Moses Van Gorder, father of Katharine, was sent to Austria and educated for a surgeon; and his wife, Diana, was a noted nurse and cancer doctor. Moses owned several farms, on one of which was built a block-house called Fort Decker, in which the husband of Mary Harvey was born. Moses Van Gorder was a surgeon under Baron Steuben, who sometimes stayed in the block-house. The settlement of Hollanders suffered greatly from raids, first of the French and Indians, then of the British; and in some of these Isaac and Marshall were slain. 3 chil. b. in Livonia, Mich. 2 I.Martha Maria Everett Moore (111) of Milford, Mich., b.

Tbe asserted "Divine Right of Kings," originally based on a claim of descent from gods, in the North of Europe, was derived from Odin, said to have been a Scythian who. fleeing before the ravages of Rome, penetrated with his tribe to Scandinavia; vanquished its petty kingdoms and clans by his military prowess and his superior intelligence; and, claiming to be of divine extraction, subjected them to his dominion. He was worshipped as chief of the gods and ruler of heaven and earth, his sons being high priests of the new religion, and supreme lords over the inferior rulers and their subjects. One descended from Odin was competent to offer sacrifice as priest and king; and, when, with his followers, he made descent on a foreign shore, he consecrated a spot to Odin; and became the Godord, Priest King of the country. Such expeditions were made to Iceland, to the Isles of the North, and to Great Britain. A. D. 920, Orry, a prince of Denmark, invaded the Orkneys and the Western Islands, and visited the Isle of Man, where he was welcomed by the natives, and made their king. He assumed the title of King of the Isles, and he was succeeded by eight descendants, ending with Fingal, son of Godred or Goddard, last of the Danish line. In the eleventh century (]k)dred Croven, son of King Harold of Iceland, invaded Man with an army from Norway; defeated and slew Fingal and reigned in his stead, his followers mingling with the people; and their descendants still show evidence of their extraction from the sacred race of Odin. A golden cup of ancient workmanship called "Goddard's Cup," still preserved in Man, is regarded with superstitious reverence by the peasants. In Anglesay a peculiar drinking cup in common use is called a "Goddard": and when the Welsh inhabitants ask for a drink they say, "Reach me a Goddard." It is said that a member of the Goddard family in North Wales has been taken by natives of Man for a Manxman, from his resemblance to them.* The advent of the Goddards in England is not recorded. The name appears in various parts of the country in ancient times. "In 'Domesday Book,' A. D. 1082, the Bishop of Baieux (Bayeux) hold Swindune, and Wadardus under him. In ancient writings, the 'W' was frequently spelt 'Gu.' Guadardus would be a very close (Latinized) approximation to Godard. In the reign of Henry IV, A. D. 1404-5, John Goddard, of Hye Swindon, and Thomas Polton, of Wanborough, conveyed some lands and houses to John Palmer, of Swindon. The deed runs: — *The quotations and most of the history of the Goddard family before generation "{IX)" are from 'A Memoir of the Goddards of North Wiltz. Compiled from Ancient Records and Family Papers by Richard Jefferies. London, England." 154 GODDARD. "Let it be known — Whereas, we, John Goddard de Hye Swindon, and Thomas Polton de Wembergh, have given to John Palmer de Hye Swindon, all the land and houses which lately we held by the gift of the said John Palmer, to be held by the aforesaid John Palmer, and his heirs forever. In testimony whereof our seals are appended. Witnesses — John Bray, Walter Taylor, Thomas Smith, John Coleshull, Thomas Broome, William Whyteman, John Edward, and many others. Dated at Hye Swindon, in the reign of Henry IV." Two seals of red wax were affixed. Three Goddards are named as landholders in Winton "Domsday," early in the twelfth century; and the Chancellor's Rolls, in 1202, show the names of Goddards in Leicester and Norfolk. Sir John Goddard was governor of Louviers, Normandy, in 1418; and John Goddard, Chevalier, held lands in York and Lincoln in 1421. A branch of the family with the Norman-French suffix "ville" to the name, probably added at the time of the Norman conquest, variously written Godarville, Goderville, and Godarvyle, established themselves in North Wiltshire, being first known at Chippenham; and from these are descended the North Wiltshire Goddards of the twentieth century. The suffix soon disap- peared; and their use of the "Godr," within the centui-y following the last Invasion of the Northmen, indicates a claim of descent from the sacred i-ace of Odin. The coat of arms of this family differs from that of the Norfolk Goddards, but a handsome glass goblet containing nearly a quart, belonging to a Goddard of Cliffe, said to be one of many once in the possession of every Goddard family in England, indicates a common origin. "There is a curious printed document still preserved in Lawn, which appears to date from the time of Cromwell, and to refer to one of the numerous secret political societies formed at that period. It is a small oblong circular, six inches by four inches, engraved by Gutterlane, with a border of twelve coats of arms of various branches of the Goddard family in Wiltz, Leicester, Cheshire, Lincoln, etc. The printed matter reads: — "This is a friendly Meeting of those whose names be Goddard. Sr. Your Company is loueingly desyred only for societie and aquaintance. The times of meeting are the 5th day of every month in ye yeare except it be Sunday, then on ye day following; from Lady Day to Michaelmas at 6; from Michaelmas to Lady Day at 4 o'Clock in the after-noon. — At a Red Bull, behind St. Nicholas Shambles, called Mount Goddard Street." "This paper appears to have been printed before the Fire of London in 1666, because the places mentioned in it were then destroyed." The American Goddards descended from the Godarvilles of North Wiltz, where they have been known since late in the twelfth century. The record begins with 1 (1.) WALTER GODARVILLE, d., 1273. A. D. 1250, in 34 Henry III., "The Inquisitions after death record, Walter Godarville, land, etc., at Chaverell, and Chippenham manor; 57 Henry III., A. D. 1273, Walter Godarville, Sudgewell manor, Bedford. Again Walter de Godarville, Breve-tantum, Bedford. In the Testu-Nevilli, Henry III. and Edward I., Walter Godarville, half a hide of land in Pedrichesham, Dorset. Walter de Godarville in Laskerel and Tinarney half a GODDARD. 155 fief. Walter de Goderville, holding in. Chipeham; and Emma la Warr under him." "In 1231-32, Walter Godarville was made castelan of Devizes Castle, either by the owner, Lord Ralf Willington, or directly by Henry III. The Bishop of Winchester attempted to supplant Godarville by his nephew, Peter de Rivaulx, and thus obtain the custody of Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent once grand judiciary, who was a prisoner in the castle, with a view to his assassination. On the 16th June, A. D. 1233, Henry who was at Woodstock, wrote a letter to Godarville warning him not to leave Devizes, or to allow stores to be taken into the castle. The king sent again two days later, permitting Godarville, if the Sheriff of Wiltz should require his assistance, to accompany the sheriff with an armed force to the house of Gilbert Bassett, of Compton, to carry out the royal mandate — always provided, it was so ordered that nothing (•ould be conveyed into Devizes Castle during Godarville's absence. In 1234 Godarville received an order from the king to despatch horses and arms to the assistance of the earl of Brittany. Godarville appears to have enjoyed the confidence of the monarch." 2 (II.) JOHN GODARD de Poulton, near Marlborough, son of Walter Godar- ville (1). 3 (III.) JOHN GODARD de Poulton, Jr., son of John Godard (2), "Appears from 1386 to 1434; living in the reign of Richard II., and in the days of John of Gaunt. If the tradition that John of Gaunt gave an estate to the Goddard family at Upham, in Aldbourne, be founded in fact — and there is nothing to con- tradict it or make it unreasonable — it was probably this John Godard who re- ceived the gift, and stood face to face with Shakespeare's famous character. 'Old John of Gaunt, time-honoured Lancaster.' " 4 (IV.) WALTER GODARD, of Cherhill, son of John Godard (3) "Appears in 1460." 5 (V.) JOHN GODARD de Upham, then spelled Uppam, died Mar. 10, 154.5; son of Walter Godard (4), married Elizabeth, dau. of William Berenger, of Manning- ford Bruce. He "Became a large landed proprietor towards the end of the fifteenth century; and was in fact the founder of the family. He possessed property at Standen-Hussey, Cliffe Pypard, Swindon, Berwick Bassett, Clatford, etc., and established his sons in those places; from whom branched out the Goddards of Engleshaw, South Marston, Castle Eaton, Rudloe, Hartham, Purton. etc. . . . His second son, Thomas, was the ancestor of the Goddards of Swindon." John Goddard had a grant of Land from Henry VIII., in 1541, in Wanborough (Wanburg) and in Upham. After the dissolution of monasteries John Goddard of Upham purchased some land at Westlecote, Swindon, which had belonged to the nuns of Locock Abbey; having been given to them by Catherine Lovel. This was the nucleus of the present large estate held by Goddard of Swindon. In 1539 the master of Wiltz in the chapter-house of Westminster, contains entries of Wlllyam Godeard (under-tithing of Cherell), Aldeborne; and John Goddard, gentylman, three harness (?). He appears to have been succeeded in the Swindon and Upham estates, or part of them, by Thomas Goddard. who was commemorated by the monument in Aldbourne Church. 156 GODDARD. 6 (VI.) THOMAS GODDARD of Upham, d., 1597, son of John Goddard (5), married "Anne, sister of Sir George Gifford, Buckingham; from whom descended the Goddards of Swindon; and secondly Jane, daughter of John Ernie, of Can- nings, Wiltz, and Ernie, Sussex; from whom descended the Goddards of Hart- ham." Apparently, he succeeded his father in the Swindon and Upham estates, or part of them. "Thomas Goddard bought the manor of Swindon in 1560. He built the farm-house at Westlecote, Swindon, on a pleasant spot overlooking the Elcombe valley. The date, 1589, and the initials, T. G. for Thomas Goddard, still remain on a stone in the building. The walls are very thick; and the porch and nail-studded door give the structure an air of antiquity. When the Spanish Armada threatened England, the gentlemen of Wiltshire subscribed for the defence of the country, and Thomas Goddard, Esq., gave L25 in 1588." On a tablet in Aldbourne Church it is recorded that. "A. D. 1597, Thomas God- dard, Esq., of Upham, gave forty shillings for ever to the poor of the parish of Aldbourne. . . . This forty shillings was a rent-charge on the estate at Upham, and is still paid by the present occupier, Mr. F. Frampton, and deducted from the rent of the present owner (H. Stone, Esq.). ... A copy of the will of Thomas Goddard, Esq., is preserved in the church chest. The will was proved on the 2nd June, 1597. He desires his body to be buried in the church at Aldbourne. 'I doe give and bequeathe unto the poore people, now within the parish of Aldbourne aforesaid, forty shillings a-year for ever' — to be paid half-yearly, the first instalment on St. Michael's day. 'Item, I doe also give and bequeath unto the poor people of the parish of Swindon five pounds.' There are bequests also to Winborow, Liddenton, Ramsbury, Ogbourne, and Marlborough, and to his men and maid-servants. His lands and tenements he chiefly leaves to 'Richard Goddard, my son.' " Thomas Goddard was commemorated by the monument in Aldbourne Church. "This large monument is placed on the right of the chancel in what was once the Goddard chapel. It is in the Italian style, and reaches to a great height. There are two large figures — an esquire and his wife — and four smaller, repre- senting three sons and one daughter. It is considered to be in memory of Thomas Goddard, Esq., of Upham, and his wife, Anna sister of Sir George Gifford. ... At the top of the monument the arms of Goddard, gilt and properly coloured, remain still; but lower down, where there were apparently several other shields, the charge is entirely gone, as is also the inscription. On a bracket over the monument hangs an esquire's helmet in very good condition; a second bracket is empty at present; but Mr. Witt (church-warden) very well remembers in his youth a breastplate and a pair of gauntletts suspended there. At the late restoration of the church Mr. Witt caused every search to be made for these relics, but in vain. Before the restoration this part of the church, forming the Goddard chapel, was railed off by an ancient wooden carved screen." Thomas Goddard married second, Jane, daughter of John Ernie, of Cannings, Wiltz; and Ernie, Sussex; from whom descended the Goddards of Hartham. 7 (VII.) RICHARD GODDARD of Upham and Swindon, son of Thomas and Anna (Gifford) Goddard (G), m. Elizabeth, dau. of Thomas Walrond, Esq., of GODDARD. 157 Aldbourne. "His residence appears to have been in Upliam, where he built a large mansion; probably on and with the ruins of a still larger house, the hunting lodge of John of Gaunt. This mansion originally contained a noljle hall extending the whole length of the building, it is now subdivided into a dining-room, pantry, and entrance-hall, each large and lofty; the ceiling is fourteen feet high. The present drawing-room occupies the place of the dais, or lord's seat, and is still three steps higher than the rest. In the present dining- room, over the mantlepiece, is the coat-of-arms of the royal duke of Lancaster, now much defaced; but the oak leaves and coronet remain, with the motto, 'Dieu et mon droit.' This shield was no doubt originally placed in the hunting- lodge. A fine old staircase of black oak leads to the upper apartments. Over the hall is the banqueting-chamber, thirty feet long; the mantlepiece is a work of the time of James. Standing as the house does, on the highest ground between London and Bristol, the view from the upper story is most extensive, penetrating far into Berkshire and Hampshire. Mr. F. Frampton has a collec- tion of coins found upon the estate; among them is a British gold coin of the antepegraphic period, exhibiting the lowest form of debased stater, in a rude horse and detached wheel; it is slightly convex on one side, and concave on the other, and the metal shows the grain of the wooden mould. Over the porch at some height hangs a small bell, which is curious as having been cast in Ald- bourne bell-foundry. The Aldbourne chime is still noted. The initials R. G. and E. G. with the date 1599 are carved on the porch, for Richard Goddard and his wife Elizabeth; also the initials T. G. and A. G., for Thomas and Anna Richard's father and mother. "Richard Goddard presented the tenor bell to Aldbourne Church. It still hangs in the tower, and has a most beautiful tone; it weighs 19 cwt. 28 lbs. There is the following inscription round the rim of the shoulder, which when read aloud sounds like a chime — "Intonant de cells vox compane Michaelis. Deus propicius esto alabus Ricardi Godard quondam de Uppam Elizabeth et Elizabeth uxorum ejus ac aiabus oim liberorum et parentum suorum qui banc campana fieri facpruiit anno dni MCCCCCXVI." In restoring Aldbourne Church, a brass was found in that portion which was anciently the Goddard Chapel, and under which appear to have been the family vaults. The brass is now placed in the aisle adjoining, and represents the figure of an esquire and his wife. The inscription reads: — "Hie jacet Ritus Goddard quodam de Uppham et Elizabeth uxor ejs qi q'dm Ricus obitt die An dni MoCCCCo et p'dicta Elizabeth Obit. xiiijo die Julii Anno dni Millio CCCCLXXXJo quor aiabus ppicietur Ds Amen." "A 'C appears to have been omitted when engraving this plate. It was probably laid down by Richard at the time of his first wife's death, when he did not contemplate a second marriage. Blank spaces were left for the date of his own 168 GODDARD. death, and these were never filled in. Both wives were named Elizabeth. The first was a daughter of Thomas Walrond, Esq., of Aldbourne, who brought him four children, the eldest of whom, Thomas, succeeded to the Swindon estate, and was probably the first who resided at Swindon. 8 (VIII.) EDWARD GODDARD of Inglesham, second son of Richard and Eliza- beth (Waldron) Goddard (7), m. "Priscilla, daughter of John D'Oyley by Ursula, daughter of Sir Ed. Cope." . . . He "was once very wealthy, but afterwards much reduced by oppression during the civil war. He belonged on the Parliament side, his house was beset and demolished by a company of cavaliers, who also plundered his substance. He escaped through the midst of them in disguise, but died soon after."* 13 chil. 9 1. John Goddard, m. dau. of Thomas Bennett of Norton Bevast, Wiltz. 10 2.

ELIZABETH MILES, d. Feb., 1697; dau. of William Miles of London. He met with great losses at sea, lived too expensively, and became greatly reduced in his property. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Foot, a widow, having a brother living in New England, lent him LlOO sterling, taking a mortgage on his house and land for security; and he died without paying any part of the debt. Mrs. Foot gave the claim to William Goddard, and he came over to secure it. Finding no property but the mort- gaged estate, in view of his straitened condition he decided to remain in America and sent for his family. This was in 1665, the year of the great plague; and as it was contrary to law for any emigrant to carry more than five pounds in specie from the kingdom, he stored his merchandise and furniture in London. The family settled in Watertown, Ms., and the great fire of 1666 destroyed all this property reducing him to povei'ty. His wife's mother's third husband, dying, left them a legacy of 400 pounds sterling. They had six children born in London, three of whom died young; they had also six children born in America, three of whom died young. A curious circumstance of the six surviv- ing sons is that the three born in England had light complexion and red hair, while the three born in Watertown had dark complexion and black hair, and were distinguished as "The Indian Boys." The six survivors were, 23 I.William Goddard, b. 1653; m. Leah Fisher, and had four children. 24 2. Joseph Goddard of Brookline, Ms., b. 1655; d. July 25, 1728; m. Deborah Treadwell. 6 chil. \.

On "Mar. 25, 1714" he went to Framingham where he taught a grammar school several years with a salary of forty pounds. He afterwards held various public offices: was selectman 10 years, town clerk 18 years, treasurer 2 years, repre- sentative 9 years, and many years a justice of the peace in Framingham. He was captain of a company of horse, and for three years was a member of the Council. An obituary notice of him says: "He was a person of very good natural powers, inquisitive and curious genius, industrious spirit and considerable im- provement in both divine and political knowledge, esteemed for sobriety, in- tegrity, judiciousness and piety from his youth, . . . being of so good a character and a very accurate writer and draughter in almost all sorts of instruments, he was in his younger time encouraged to keep a school for writing and arith- metic in Boston, where he behaved himself to great acceptance. . . . Being a person of such parts, improvements, and principles, and of undaunted courage, . . . He was one of the greatest and most steady patriots both of civil and reli- gious liberties in their largest extent, that ever appeared in the General Assem- bly in his day." He died of an epidemic fever that had caused the death of Ms son David, Jan. 19, in Leicester; his son Benjamin, Jan. 28, in Shrewsbury; and his wife Susanna, Feb. 4, in Framingham; all within three weeks. 9 chil. b. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, in Wat., 6, 7, 8, 9, in Boston. 42 I.Edward Goddard, a farmer of Shrewsbury, Ms., b.

He came to Reading in 1793 when the town was mostly a wilderness, bought land, made a clearing, erected a log house, replaced by a framed house in about four years; and about 1821, erected a substantial brick house, still standing, where he lived as long as he was able to carry on the farm. After some years he moved to the village of South Reading, where he died. He was a man of great energy and public spirit, held many town offices, and strove for the growth and pros- perity of Reading more than sixty years. He was always ready to respond to the calls of the sick and needy, and assist in the support of the church, assisting in the building of two church edifices in Reading. He was long a deacon of the Universalist church, and lived and died respected by the whole community. To his descendants who remember his kindly face and his words of wisdom, his memory is precious. 8 chil. b. in Reading. 86 1. EixiCE Howe Goddard Fulham (277), b. Nov. 23, 1796; d.

In "The Commander-in-Chief's Guard" it is said of James Gordon that: he "Enlisted, Bedford, N. H., July 1, 1782, for three years, a private. Captain Ebenezer Fry's Company, First New Hampshire Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Dearborn; transferred, Newburg, N. Y., June 16, 1783. to the Commander-in-Chief's Guard, commanded by Lieutenant- Commander William Colfax; transferred Nov. 9, 1783, to Colonel Henry Jack- son's Regiment. Continental Infantry: discharged. West Point, N. Y., June 30, 1784." In "Valley Forge" pp. 29, 30, it is said: "The Commander-in-Chief's Guard was formed, originally, under an order of Washington dated at Cam- bridge, March 11, 1776. For this purpose four men carefully selected from each regiment were detailed to this duty. Caleb Gibbs of IVIassachusetts became Captain and George Lewis, of Virginia, a nephew of General Washington, was appointed Lieutenant. The Corps numbered sixty men exclusive of officers. . . . The Guard as reorganized May 1, 1777 at Morristown, numbered fifty-six men exclusive of officers. . . . The body was equipped as infantry, in addition to which 162 GORDON.— GRAHAM. a small force of horse was maintained, of which George Lewis was Captain." James Gordon after the war lived in R., and died near Felchville, in Cavendish. Olive Harris was of medium stature and had the athletic endowment of the family, which, with her, appeared in running. She could run like Atalanta. Her husband was tall and so good a runner that he was seldom beaten. A man of whom he had bought a bushel of beans was boasting of his ability to run, when Gordon proposed a short race with him, Gordon carrying the beans on his back, on condition that if he should win Gordon should not pay for the beans. The challenge was accepted, the race was run, and Gordon won the beans; but his fleet-footed wife could and often did outstrip him in a race. The "Spotted Fever" of which her husband died was very prevalent in 1813, and her eldest son, dying soon after his father of the same disease, left her with three small children, and little means for their support; but she reared them all to maturity. 4 chil. b. in R. 2 1.

Mary Van De Mark was born in Holland. James Graham was a native of Scotland, and, wishing to emigrate to America, in accordance with a custom of the time, sold himself into service at Amsterdam to a physician of N. Y. City, to pay the necessary passage money thither. After his service he married a Dutch wife and settled near Tioga Point, on the Chemung Branch of the Susquehanna River, in Pa. He removed first to Bradford, Ca., and thence, in 1816, to Detroit, Mich. The first settlement in Oakland Co., Mich, was begun Mar. 17, 1817 by this James Graham and two of his elder sons, Alexander GRAHAM. 163 Christopher Hartsough and John Henry, within the township of Avon, and on the site of the Village of Rochester, where was born the first white child of the county, a grandson of James Graham, in 1818. His sons Benjamin and William bought the south-west quarter of section 28, to which their father moved, and there he spent the rest of his life, dispensing an unbounded hospitality with proverbial kindness. He was greatly esteemed by his neighbors, and especially by the resident Indians, who would do anything for him. He was a soldier of the Revolution from April 15, 1777 to April 15, 1778, and was engaged in the battle of Wyoming. He died, 1849, in his 99th year, and was buried in a family cemetery on the farm, where lie his descendants, the Grahams and Postals, of three generations. Mary Postal Graham could demonstrate her descent from her herculean an- cestor, Jacob Fulham, killed in Lovewell's Fight. She could lift a barrel of salt, and would put barrels of flour into a wagon with ease. She had a womanly fondness for fine clothes, and, on occasion, would appear in silks and laces; but she was without apparent vanity, and her husband found her an efficient help in time of need. 5 chil. b. in Avon, Mich. 2 1.

He inherited from his mother the physique of his Fulham ancestors; he is six feet tall, weighs 200 pounds, and has an erect figure and great physical strength. In building \ GRAHAM. 165 his large barn, without assistance, he raised to his shoulder, carried, and put in place half of the purlin posts, while three workmen, together, moved and put in position the other half. He directed four men to carry the stringers for the granary, which they were unable to do, so he set them at something else, and carried them himself, alone. While three men were sitting on a rail in front of the cylinder of a threshing separator, he grasped with his hands, palms upwards, one front wheel, thus weighing 1,300 pounds, by two horizontal spokes eighteen inches above the barn floor, and raised it six inches. From both parents he inherited great force of character and endurance with invincible courage and an indomitable will; but he is always just and kind. The Fulham eye at times blazes with a^ger or moistens in sympathy, but his tongue is always under control. He purchased part of the homestead on which he was born, bought adjoin- ing lands sufficient to make a farm of 220 acres, and entered on his life work, purposing to die where he had always lived and lie with his kindred in the family cemetery on the old farm. Besides his farm work, for more than thirty years, he has dealt extensively in horses, cattle, and sheep. He has 32 horses, and usually keeps from 30 to 40 Durham cattle, as to which he is regarded an expert, being often selected as Judge of them in County, District, and State Fairs. In the management of his farm he uses many labor- saving machines and the most modern improve- Wili>iam Gr.\h.\m, 3-5. ments. A gasoline engine saws about 300 cords of wood each year; cuts, feeds, and, when the wind-mill does not serve, pumps water for the stock. He realizes that, to insure good service, the master must know how to do himself; he has mastered every kind of work connected with his business, and has instructed his sons so that, during an absence of a week or a month, business will not suffer for want of his attention. He has a "sugar-bush" of 350 maple trees, in which, during the season, the youngsters are accustomed to "sugar off," an in- cident of outdoor life which he encourages, attributing his own robust health to such a life. Like all his known ancestors, he is a Democrat, and, having the courage of his convictions, he often writes for the press, and has made political speeches, one of which was printed in journals of seven states. He delights in a running debate, and he frequently reads papers before Short-horn Breeding Associations and at Farmers' Institutes. His father Benjamin Graham had a paralytic shock that disabled him for business when William was 13 years old; and, being an only son, he was obliged to attend to the farm work, and missed opportunity for education that, otherwise, he might have enjoyed. But he in- herited from his father a love of books, which has led to storing his mind with useful and elevating knowledge, far more valuable than mere learning. 166 GRAHAM. IDA ESTELLE FULHAM (429) GRAHAM, wife of William Graham, and dau. of Willard and Mary Bacon (Taylor) Fulham (420) of Holly, Mich., b. Nov. 13, 1856; is of the same line of descent as her hnsband from Hon. Francis Fulham (1), the immigrant from Fulham, London, Eng., to Elisha Fulham, Jr. (90), the great-grandfather of both; and she has characteristics that have distinguished many members of the family in America. Although but 60 and % inches tall and weighing one hundred pounds, at the age of fourteen, she was so strong that she carried bags containing two bushels of wheat, grasping them with her hands by the tops after they had been tied, lifting, and bearing them without touching them elsewhere; and she is stronger than any other woman of her family. Since her marriage an accident to her hip caused a lameness from which she has not fully recovered, but she still walks miles without tiring; and her husband says that he knows no woman that is able to do so much work without fatigue. Her hand, shown in a plate of the Introduction, has the con- tinuous line extending quite across the palm, under the knuckle, rarely found out of the family. The hands of her husband have the same line, caused by the shape of the hand, producing a nearly right angle at the little finger joint, in the clenched fist. It is to be regarded as an inheritance from an ancestor as remote, at least, as Jacob Fulham — 6. At the age of twenty-one she began teaching, and for twenty-three years she continued in the schools and in the same building of Holly, devoting all her energies and an undivided interest to her work there. At the end of two years she was promoted to Grammar Department A, where she remained twelve years. At one time a rebellion broke out in school, during which the pupils in Miss Fulham's room were the only ones kept in subjection. Her power of discipline apparently saved the school, in appreciation of which the School Board raised her salary. In 1892 she was appointed Assistant, and, two years later, Principal of the High School, each promotion being accompanied by an increase of salary, to which was added another increase before she left the school. Besides her school work, she gave private lessons, sometimes fifteen in a week, to pupils that were trying to keep up their class work while earning money for the ex- pense of their later attendance at school. And during eighteen years she taught a class of boys in the Presbyterian Sunday School of Holly. Her principal school instruction was in Botany, History, and German. She was graduated from Holly High School in 1878, and had no other schooling; but since then she has studied Greek with a noted linguist, Latin with a Professor of that language, and German with a native German teacher. The school had many leading magazines, gifts from its friends, containing valuable information, but of little use without classification; and of these, during her last year in school. Miss Fulham made a catalogue containing over 30,000 references. To increase her acquirements and secure continuous intellectual growth, each year, while engaged in teaching, she took up some new study or employment, such as Greek, Spanish, or association with Shakespeare Clubs, Iliad Clubs, and the Chatauqua and the Bay View Courses. The Superintendent under whom she taught 12 years gave her a written recommendation in which, among other qualities, he specifies force of character, discipline, excellent tact, daily prepara- GRAHAM. 167 tion, and voluntary promotions by the Board of Education, with increase of salary. In the spring of 1897 the "Detroit Daily Journal" offered two free trips to Yellowstone Park for teachers, one for the city, and the other for the rest of the State of Michigan, to be awarded to the teacher receiving the largest number of votes, in the respective classes. Without her knowledge, the people of Holly, a place of some 1,200 inhabitants, undertook to secure the second prize for Miss Fulham, of which she first learned some weeks after; numerous favorite teachers in many large towns of Michigan, by themselves or their friends, strove also for it, and, at times, led Miss Fulham, but she ^as held in so great esteem by the community in which she lived that, in the end, she led her competitors by more than 6,000 votes, to the great joy of Holly, where the victory was celebrated with eclat equal to that of Independence Day. Miss Fulham was led to resign her place in school by the age and failing sight of her mother, to whom, in turn, she devoted herself as long as her mother lived; and, when aware of a projected genealogy of the family, she entered with her accustomed energy and zeal into the collection of materials; and she has been of greater assistance to the Author than any other member of the family. Her acquaintance with William Graham l>egan in the course of this work, and has resulted in the association that promises happiness for her at the head of his family far beyond that of her school life.

The HARRIS family is said to be of "Welch origin, the name meaning Harry's son. Sir Jahn Harries of Terreglee County, Wales, was made a Lord of Parlia- ment by King James IV. soon after his accession; and Sir John sat in Parlia- ment from "Feb. 3, 1490," to "Feb. 6, 1492." 1 ROBERT HARRIS of Brookline, Ms., born in England about 1615; died about 1701; is said to have come from Gloucestershire, Eng., to Massachusetts. The first known record of him relates to his marriage. He became a member of the First Church of Roxbury, "Aug. 8, 1647." He was admitted freeman "May 22, 1650;" and he was Constable in 1676. About 1665 he began to buy land in the southerly part of Brookline; he bought, in all, no less than ten lots, and erected a "garrison house" thereon, in which he spent the rest of his life. This land remained in the family nearly 175 years. He married in Roxbury "Jan. 24, 1642-3," ELIZABETH BOUGHEY, born in England and probably in London. Letters still preserved show that she had a brother, Bold Boughey, Keeper of Fleet Prison, and a sister, Katherine Thorp, both of London; and two other brothers and four other sisters, all in comfortable circumstances. She joined the church of which her husband was a member, "April 5, 1663." 5 chil. 2 I.Elizabeth Harris, b. "Nov. 9, 1644." 2. John Harris (7), bap. "Aug. 8, 1647" in Roxbury. S.Timothy Harris (8), b.

He went on the expedition of Sir William Phipps to Quebec in 1690, and never came back. It was known that he with two companions from Brookline started to return; that they were without food for a considera- ble part of the way, excepting such small animals as they were able to kill; and that only one of the three reached home, so shattered in mind by his hard- ships that he could give no intelligible account of the fate of the other two. He left two sons and five daughters. Robert Han-is, his father, provided for these seven children by giving to the eldest son 27 acres on Muddy River, with a pro- vision that he, Robert, Jr., pay to his brother John seven pounds, and four pounds to each of his five sisters. 8 TIMOTHY HARRIS (4) of Brookline, Ms., son of Robert and Elizabeth (Boughey) Harris (1), b. "July 9, 1650;" d. "Sep. 21, 1730;" m. "Apr. 2, 1697," ABIGAIL MOREY, b. "Mar. 30, 1681;" d. Sep. 9, 1767; dau. of Thomas and Susanna Morey of Roxbury. When a bachelor of 32, Thomas went to the house of his neighbor Morey, and, no one answering to his rapping, walked in. The noise awakened a girl-baby lying in the cradle, who began to cry, and, there being no other nurse present, Timothy exerted himself to quiet the child by rocking the cradle. The mother heard the uproar and came in, exclaiming, "Good heart! old bachelor! I have some hope of you yet!" "Aye, good wife, and with reason! for I am determined to claim this damsel for my wife the instant she is old enough," said Timothy. After fifteen years waiting, he did claim and marry Abigail three days after her sixteenth birthday. By deed dated "Sep. 12, 1693" Robert Harris gave to his son Timothy the homestead of three acres and 41i/4 acres besides, subject to the payment to his sister Elizabeth Whitney of ten pounds in money or lands, within two years after the father's death, and to his sister Priscilla Harris twenty pounds in money or lands, one- half within one year, and the rest within three years after the father's death. Timothy lived on this homestead. He was noted for his strength and activity; was of a mirthful disposition; and in youth was fond of practical jokes. It is related that while playing tricks on Indians living in a wigwam near by, on two occasions, he might have been killed by them but for his adroitness and speed. By deed dated "Oct. 31, 1729" he conveyed to his eldest son Timothy, Jr., all his property, with a condition for the maintenance of the father and mother, and the payment to the other sons, John and Joseph, of 300 pounds each. Timothy had also a daughter Abigail. She married Samuel Newell of Dudley, who became one of the wealthiest farmers of his time. 9 DANIEL HARRIS (5) of Brookline, Ms., son of Robert and Elizabeth (Boughey) Harris (1), b: "May 24, 1652;" "took hold of the covenant" in Rox- bury Church "Apr. 23, 1689;" d.

They lived in Needham until after the birth of their first child, and then moved to Watertown, where he was re- ceived into the church Oct. 14, 1725. He was one of the original proprietors of "Turkey Hill," Fitchburg, holding lot 71, which he parted with; and he acquired lot 31, first set to his brother Timothy. He was licensed a retail dealer from 1740 to 1749. He was Rep. from Wat. to the Great and General Court, for the years 1735, '36, '37. He was a Selectman 11 years between 1733 and 1747; and for many years he was a Justice of the Peace in Watertown. He gave to the parish in 1754 the lot on which the church was built and stood from 1755 to 1836, now part of the cemetery at the corner of Mt. Auburn and Common Streets. He is buried near the north corner of an old cemetery in W., where headstones inscribed for him and children Priscilla and Fulham, were standing in 1896. The date of Hannah Fulham Harris's death has not been ascertained; she and her eldest son Thomas were admrs. of her husband's estate, distributed in nine parts July 10, 1778, Thomas receiving two parts: and this probably oc- curred soon after her death at the age of about eighty. 10 chil. b. 1, in Need- ham; the rest in W. 23 I.Thomas Harris (43) of Dorchester, Ms., b.

He probably learned his trade of his father, and went to F. early, when only 15 houses had been erected in town, and while it was infested by bears and other wild animals. These conditions rendered the place so unattractive that he soon returned to D.; but not long after, he finally settled in F. In a con- 178 HARRIS. veyance of his share of his grandfather's estate, Apr. 13, 1773, he is described as a clothier of Fitchburg. Land in F. was conveyed to Samuel by his father Thomas, eldest son of Nathaniel Harris (22) one of the original proprietors and the owner of lot 71. He was followed to F. by his brothers, afterwards by his father and mother, and presumably by the rest of the family. In 1789 Samuel is described as a Yeoman; and in that year his cousin Benjamin Harris, Jr., a miller of Providence, for 80 lbs., conveyed to him 115 acres in F. With his brother Daniel and other F. men, he went to Boston to take part in the battle of Bunker Hill, in which one of the party was killed. He served during the siege of Boston, and after the British had evacuated the city, he returned to F. He was in the Revolutionary Army under Gen. Gates, and was in the battle of Saratoga and at the surrender of Gen. Burgoyne in 1777. His children remem- bered that his army comrades used to visit him; and one from Groton who was deaf from wounds received in his head at Saratoga, for many years, came to spend the anniversary of that battle with him, — probably John Dwight — 1. In his will he names as Executor his son Thomas to whom, on May 29, 1820, he had conveyed one undivided half of about 175 acres in three lots of F.; and Thomas was residuary legatee of the estate remaining after satisfying the legacies to descendants as follows: Samuel of Petersham, $1; Samuel Ward, $100; Milton, 1 pr. 2 year-old steers and $100; Lucy Whittemore, 1/2 the house- hold furniture and $100; Sophia, 14 the household furniture and $1; Sally, 14 the household furniture and $100. 7 chil. b. in F. 131 1.

Apr. 15, 1818, LUCY PARKER, b. Sep. 30, 1798; d. Dec. 9, 1875, in S. He was tall and athletic, and was one of three brothers, each of whom, in youth, could leap over a string that the tallest could walk under, erect. When a young man, while the snow was deep, he ran down on snow-shoes, captured, and subdued two deer on the mountain in one winter. He threw himself upon the exhausted animals, bound with cords, tied on a sapling cut and trimmed for the purpose, dragged to the road, and, with one end of a long rope attached to his body, and the other fastened to the deer's head, drove them home and into the stable, where he kept both until spring. He became so attached to them that, when they could provide for themselves, he turned them loose again. He was a great story teller, and, while some of his tales, like Walter Scott's novels, probably were founded on fact, most of them, apparently were romances manufactured on the spot. 186 HARRIS. While altogether improbable,, these stories always seemed possible, and were told with such earnestness, consistency, and apparent candor, that the listener instinctively accepted them as true; and as, like Shakespeare, he never re- peated, detection was impossible. His nephew Sewall Fulham, Jr. (277), once found him surrounded by an admiring crowd, while attending court as a witness at Woodstock, where he was unknown; and, on approaching to hearing distance, discovered, as expected, that "Uncle Cleff" was relating some wonderful events within his personal knowledge, none of which his nephew had ever heard before, but which his audience seemed to accept as historic. The author, when' a boy, after the funeral of his grandfather, slept with Uncle Cleff, and went to sleep listening to tales of wonderful adventures of himself and others. His gift as a romancer might have proved profitable had he been able to wield a pen as well as he did his tongue, but his reputation for truth did not suffer by reason of his exuberant fancy. 4 chil. b. in Shrewsbury, Vt. 302 1.

Some 30 years later his remains were disinterred and buried in North Bucksport by his son Freeman, who spoke of his father in a letter, as, "One of the kindest men that ever lived;" and he was long remembered for his generosity and warm- heartedness. 8 chil. b. in N.

He was Mate on the Alice Gray, a schooner of which A. D. Gray was Master, on the way from Bangor to Santa Cruz, with a load of lumber. The schooner was wrecked in a storm, and the men suffered greatly from the seas that swept over them, and the want of food and fresh water. They contrived to cut a hole in the deck, and find some raw turnips; they killed a shark, drank its blood, and ate some of its flesh, and, when almost despairing of relief, the survivors were taken off by the bark Ironside, Capt. George Toby, on the way from New York to Antwerp, where they were landed. Warren Hincks perished in the storm. 3 2. Freeman Wiley Hincks, a mariner of North Bucksport, Me., b. Nov. 5, 1831; d.

In his school days he showed a strong predilection for railroad and electrical science, which became his life business. He was a pioneer in the earliest de- velopment of the telephone, and the first to design and woi'k out the Central Office System, and to build a Central Office Telephone line, early in the summer of 1887. He introduced, commei'cially, the arc lamp on low tension incandescent circuits in this country, out of which he made a large sum of money. In 1877 he was commissioned by George Walker, Vice-President of the Gold Stock Telegraph Co., and later United States Consul General to France, to establish the Telephone Cen- tral Office business in Chicago, 111.; and in less than a year after he went there, 1878, he invented the Multiple Telephone Switchboard, which has become the vitally important element in the Fkank E. Kinsman. — 18. Telephone Central Office System. Since his return to New York, 1881, he has engaged in nearly all phases of electrical and railroad business. He was the first Supt. of Repairs and Attachments, of the Metropolitan — now the New York — Telephone Company, in the years 1879, 1880. He resigned that office to form the firm of Kinsman & Toby, afterw^ards incorporated as The Electric Construction and Supply Company of N. Y. City, of which he was Pres. until 1890; during 202 KINSMAN.— LAMB.— LIVERMORE. which time the Low Tension Circuit Arc Lamp, and many other electrical Im- provements were introduced under his management. In the years following he acted as consulting engineer for several large electrical and business establishments. In 1907 he was Pres. of the Kinsman Block System Company of the City of N. Y., which owns his patents for auto- matically controlling the motive power and air brakes of railroad trains; and he has lately put them in operation in the express service of the N. Y. City Subway, and on the Boston Elevated Railroad. He is Treas. of the Kinsman Electric & Railway Supply Company of N. Y. City, and a Director of the Electric Construction and Supply Company. He has received some fifty patents for his inventions. He is a full member of the American Society of Electrical En- gineers, and of The American Signal Association; and a member of The Mer- chants' Association of the City of New York, in which he has served on various important committees. He is a Mason, a member of the Knights Templars, and a Noble of Mecca Temple of the Mystic Shrine. 4 chil. 19 1.

JOHN LIVERMORE, in 1634, at the age of 28, embarked in the Francis, John Cutting, Master, at Ipswich, Eng., for Mass. Bay. There is a tradition that he came without his wife, and it is believed that she joined him a few years after with their only child. He was admitted freeman with other pas- sengers on the Francis, "May 6, 1635," and he, of course, was a member of the Congregational Church, since no others were permitted to vote in the colony. His name is in an undated list of early proprietors, but he is not named as one of those "then inhabiting" Watertown, in February, 1636-7; and it is sup- posed that he went to Ct. in 1635 or 1636 with the emigrants from Wat. that began the settlement of Pyquag, first called Watertown, and afterwards named Wethersfield by the Court; and that his wife Grace was with him there when their second child was born. The colony of New Haven was founded in 1638; John Livermore, then of New Haven, signed the fundamental agreement of the N. H. Colony; and his signature is at Vol. 1, p. 1, of N. H. Col. Rec. He became a freeman of the colony "Oct. 29, 1640," and took the oath of allegiance "July 1, 1644." On "June 11, 1645," it was "proposed that another ordinary LIVERMORH. 2o;3 might be set up towards the waterside," and it was left with "John Liverinore to consider it." — N. H. Col. Rec. 1, p. 103. His home in New Haven was the second from the harbor on the west side of Fleet Street. On "May 17, 1647," Joseph Nash was chosen Corporal, "in room of John Livermore, who expects to go to England," and his name is not in the records again until January, 1G48-9. In the first assessment of John Livermore at New Haven he was rated at four persons, not including servants. This indicates that he then had a wife and two children. In the first "seating the meeting-house," 1642, seats were assigned to John Livermore, and "sister Livermore." Four children were born to them and christened in N. H. Under date May 7, 1650, "John Liver- more hath sould and passeth to Theophilus Higginson, his house-lot V2 acre and 10 perches; 8 acres V4, 15 rods, on this side the West River, next the land of Richard Beach; 6i/4 acres 25 rods, on the other side the West River, next Milford highway, by the meadow side; 28 acres of the 2d division, betwixt the lands of Edward Banister and Richard Osborne; 5 acres of meadow in the West Meadow, next meadow of Henry Gibbons; 3 acres of meadow in Solitary Cove, with the work-house, with the land belonging to them, bounded with stump of a tree next the sea, running along the creek to the end of the house — being in breadth so wide as the house is." — Col. Rec. XL, p. 18. After this conveyance his name does not appear in the records of New Haven Colony. In 1653 John Livermore's name appears as a juror from Watertown, showing that he had sometime before become a resident there; and he continued to live in W. until his death. John Livermore in the "Fourth Great Dividend" of land in W. was the grantee of 25 acres. And he had a homestall of 2 acres, "bounded with the Great Pond." He was a Selectman of W. in the years 1666, '68, '69, and held other positions of trust in town. The traditional "large sum in the English fund," belonging to the family, was a supposed inheritance through John Livermore; but it existed only in the imagination of the heirs. If John was, as is supposed, the son of Peter Livermore, of Little Thurloe, in the Co. of Suffolk, Eng., he was one of seven children, and the third son; he was by trade a potter, and there is no reason to suppose that his father or any ancestor was rich. This, like other ancient legends of the kind, probably was invented by those sharpers that, in past generations, have cheated their credulous dupes out of more money for fees and expenses in pretended under- takings to recover "funds" than the amount of all similar funds that ever existed in England, as has been pointed out repeatedly by United States Ministers to Great Britain and others familiar with the facts. John Liveriiiore died "April 14, 1684" aet. 78. His will dated "Jan. 10, 1682- 3," proved "June 16, 1684," names his wife GRACE, and the following: "eldest son John; the three youngest chil. of John Coolidge, by his daughter d.; Daniel, Elizabeth, Sarah, Martha, Samuel, Nathaniel, Hannah (Anna), and Grace; chil. of Samuel; son-in-law James Townsend, and his son James; — only one dr. then living." His inventory mentions 1st, the "Cowpen Farm," 4.0 acres upland, and 12 acres meadow, formerly of Henry Curtis, which he (J. L.) pur- chased of the town, Nov. 7, 1664, for his son John, confirmed to him in the 204 LIVERMORE. will; "2d, 50 acres dividend land, bought of Wm. Paine, and given to son Nathaniel; 3d, 2 acres patch meadow^; 4th, 4 acres Pigsgusset meadow; 5th, 6 acres salt marsh; 6th, 1 acre at Chester Brook; 7th, 5 acres upland on the Rocks; a parcel of Bees, L2." He had previously. Mar. 10, 1681, conveyed by deed to his son Samuel, his homestead, 34 acres, with a dwelling-house, &c.; also, 20 acres woodland; "as a recompense of that dutiful obedience, that the said Samuel hath yielded to, and thereby hath been (through God's blessing), a comfort and support to the said John and family." The will of Grace, widow of John Livermore, dated "Dec. 19, 1690," names her "son and dr., Abraham and Martha Parker, of Chelmsford," where she died; also, "son John Coolidge; gr. son James Townsend," and her sons "John, Nathaniel, and Samuel." William Perry and his wife Anna, of Watertown, 1682, in a petition to the County Court, mention "our sister Livermore, midwife, and our sister Chinei-y-" The import of these words is unknown. Of 11 children of John and Grace whose names are known, the dates and places of birth of only five are given; and the order of the rest is uncertain. 11 chil. 2 1.

His homestall was the "Cowpen Farm" now in Weston near the Sudbury line, containing 40 acres; which with 20 acres of Meadow near Nonesuch Meadow, was given him by his father. He was admitted freeman "April 18, 1690," and, as a prerequisite, of course, had become a member of the church; but about 1706 he joined the church in Sud- bury, which was much nearer, and on the organization of the church at "the Farms," Weston, he, with his son-in-law Francis Fulham, and three other residents of the Farms, withdrew from the Sudbury church and became mem- bers of that at the Farms. He was one of the Selectmen of Watertown in 1692. John Livermore, Richard Child, and Josiah Jones of Wat.; and John Haywood of Concord bought "Feb. 19, 1678-9" of Nathaniel Treadway and wife 30 acres on Stony Brook, and soon after began the erection of a mill thereon. "Jan. 5, 1679-80," at a town meeting in Wat., it was "Granted that the new corn mill, now set up and to be finished at Stony Brook, be freed from rates for 20 years." "Mar. 3, 1683," John Haywood and his wife Anna, of Concord, con- veyed to John Livermore, for L60, "One fourth of Stony Brook Mill." By this LIVERMURE. 205 deed John Uvermore became half owner of the mills, supposed to be the same afterwards known as "Bigelow's Mills." "Oct. 22, 1G95" John Grout, Sen., of Sudbury, conveyed to his son-in-law John Livermore, of Watertown (Farms), a tract of land bounded n. by Sudbury Line; e. by "Wat. Line; s. by Dedham Line; and w. by 200 acres granted by the General Court to William Jennison. "Nov. 21, 1712," John Livei-more conveyed this tract, in consideration of love and affection, to his four daughters and their husbands: Ephraim Rice and Hannah his wife; Francis Fulham and Sarah his wife; Isaac Gleason and Martha his wife; and Thomas Biglo and Mary his wife.

He went to Portsmouth about 1726, whei'e he was master of the grammar school until 1731, when he was admitted to the bar. Soon after this Gov. Belcher, a distant relative, appointed him Attorney Gen. for the Province, and Advocate for the King in Courts of Admiralty. — See Annals of Portsmouth, p. 261. 24 (V.)

War he entered the service as Ensign of Capt. Woodbury's Co. in Col. Stark's Reg., and served during the war. As Captain of a company under Gen. Sullivan, sent out to chastise the British, Indians, and Tories for the massacres at Wyoming and Cherry Valley in 1779, he kept a diary, May 17 to Dec. 7, which was published in the Col. of N. H.

During the six weeks follow- ing the capture of Vicksburg, long fatiguing marches under a broiling sun, and 208 LORING. the accompanying exposure so prostrated him that, on the arrival of the 36th in Cincinnati, Aug. 17, 1863, he was sent to Camp Dennison, where he remained in Hospital three months, and was dis- charged for disability. He returned to his family in Wilmington, and afterwards en- gaged in business, but he never regained his health. At one time he weighed 180 pounds, but was reduced to 118 lbs. before his death. He received a pension of $12 a month for about ten years, which was continued to his ^J(Jq^ Emily S. M. Loring. Charles F. Loring. From childhood Emily Sophia has been a maker of rhymes, and she was called the Poet of Garden City. Very early she showed a genius for paint- ing and sculpture. While a little girl she wanted to make pictures, and, lacking colors, she taught herself how to prepare them. By pounding clover leaves in a rag, she produced a drop of green; red was obtained from flower petals of that hue; her mother gave her half a sheet of letter paper on which she drew the outlines of a rose, and colored it with so much skill that an appreciative cousin gave her a box of paints, with which unassisted and un- taught, she continued to indulge her propensity. After a time she had some lessons in the use of oil and crayons; and in later years she invented many ways of making pictures, the natural outgrowth from her first experiments. In the vicinity of Garden City are clays of many hues; and with these, by softening and mixing them with water, she painted many pictures on canvas. Her latest method consists in gathering many colored stones, soft enough to be reduced to powder by pounding, with which, using a hen's feather as a brush, she has painted a large landscape, and smaller pictures of roses ex- hibited at the State Fair of Minnesota in 1900. Her sculpture has been widely known in the vicinity of her several places of abode. At a Dairymen's Con- vention in Mankato, she exhibited seven pieces in butter; among them a dairy- maid with a pail in each hand, and a cat rubbing against her; a lamb; some chickens; a squirrel; wreaths of roses; and a book. No premiums for such productions were offered, but she was given ten dollars. She also moulds in clay. She made a life-sized baby playing with its toes; "The Old Woman that lived in a shoe" with eight children; and a lamb, life-sized, which she took with her in 1898 on a visit to her native town of Wilmington, Vt., where it was exhibited. She also makes books, plaques, and many other pieces. Her LORIXG.— MASON. 209 various works have attracted hundreds of people who have bestowed on them unbounded praise and wanted them faster than they could be made. Numerous newspaper notices of the work of her hand indicate a degree of excellence only found in the productions of one possessing a true artistic gift; and make her kindred regret that she lacked the training and opportunity in youth, that might have made her famous. When told that she should have been a painter or sculptor, she has answered: "No, home, husband, and children are better; I am content as it is." Her works are nearly all given to her friends; and, cherishing the larger hope and the greater faith of her fathers, she awaits with confidence the final consumma- tion, the union of all she has loved in the higher life. She is tall and slender. In her childhood home little was known of the moulding hand of fashion in shaping growing girls and mature women; nature prevailed and gave her a physical development that enabled her to outwalk any woman she ever knew. Two motherless little girls were adopted at dif- ferent times while she was without children, one of whom died; the other, Annie B. Loring. b. 1875, is still with her and will be until the end. 4 chil. b. 1, 2, in "Wilmington, Vt. ; 3, 4, in Mankato, Minn. 2 1. George Fraxklix Lorixg. b. May 22, d.

He descended from Peter Van- dei-water Meulen, an immigrant to Wintonbury, Ct., from Holland, who after- wards lived near the east part of Bloomfleld, and whose son, Peter, b. in Wind- sor, Ct., 1666, had his name changed to Mills by act of the General Assembly.

Samuel John Mills, Jr., the founder of American Mis- sions; and Edmund, second husband of Abigail Moore. Rev. Edmund Mills was graduated from Yale, 1775, and ordained June 23, 1790, in Sutton, where he was pastor of the First Cong. Ch. until his death. He possessed a remark- able character both as a man and a minister. As a preacher he was distin- guished for originality of thought, conciseness in expression, and an earnest manner that made him very popular in all the neighboring towns. But he was modest and retiring, having a humble estimate of himself. Abigail Mills, m. 3d, Sep. 18, 1831, Nathaniel Emmons, D. D., of Franklin, Ms., b. May 1, 1745; d.

For thirty-five years he and Edmund Mills had been members of the Mendon Association and intimate friends. Abigail Moore Packard Mills Emmons was tall, erect, handsome, intellectual, and accomplished; and, though kind and affectionate, she habitually revealed a dignity of character and deportment that precluded presumptuous familiarity. She had over all around her, an influence for good, increased by years, that her associates gladly yielded to; and her life was a model of exemplaiT womanhood for the rising generation wherever she dwelt. In the memoirs of Dr. Emmons, by Edwin A. Park, it is said of her: "She was a lady of attractive and command- ing aspect, great amenity of manners, a sagacious mind, and a pure heart. She was admirably fitted to cheer the veteran student as he pei'severed in his inquiries after truth, and she was not to join him in the higher life until she had witnessed the success of his posthumous works, and rejoiced in the indica- tions that his successors would award to him the justice which was withheld from him by his contemporaries." After the death of Dr. Emmons, still in vigorous health and strength, she maintained her Franklin home until a broken hip, with inadequate treatment, rendered her permanently lame; and, after a gradation from crutches, through a crutch and cane, to a cane; finding house- keeping no longer practicable, she. decided to take up her abode among her children, all of whom were married and had homes of their own. She spent most of her remaining years with her daughter Abby Mills Whittelsey, first at Millbury, and then at Auburndale, where she died. She here revived the art of netting in which she had excelled in early life, making many sorts of articles, useful and ornamental, some of them in large numbers and of a variety of materials and designs, which she gave as tokens of love to her children and her grandchildren. She insisted on helping about the housework, doing what she could while sitting, until she was nearly 90, still wishing to be of service to those about her. She was a great reader, of the Bible, of Dr. Emmons's recently published sermons, of all good literature that came to hand, and of such miscellaneous matter as she thought valuable. With a well stored mind, she was a ready and interesting talker, thus giving pleasure and instruction to numerous acquaintances that often came long distances for the sake of listening to her. Her latest home was near the church, to which she walked, aided by the arm of Mr. Whittelsey, still preserving her erect car- riage and dignified bearing, and to the seat of honor, to which he — using his own words — "was proud to conduct her," taking care that her silver-topped ebony cane was within easy reach. On her death a very large assembly of friends manifested their respect and esteem for the noble woman that had dwelt so long with them, by their presence at her obsequies in the Sutton Church; and she was laid to rest by the side of the Rev. Edmund Mills with whom her Sutton life began. 7 Mills chil. 2 1. Polly Mills, b. Jan. 10, 1790; d. Jan. 6, 1800 in Sutton, Ms. 3 2. Edmund Johx Mills (15), b. Aug. 17, 1791; d.

Born in this town, his life centered here, and his active participation in every event, and his interest in carrying forward every enterprise connected very intimately his name and his life with the history of the town. He held all the various offices of the town, was representative to the general court, justice of the peace, sheriff, and trial justice. In each and every place Mr. Mills gave dignity to the position and faithfully discharged its trusts, winning the respect and love of all with whom he was associated. To recall the work and incidents of his life is to recall the history of the town for the same period. . . . But not in these public positions will Mr. Mills be longest remembered, or his memory most dearly cherished, but in his large-hearted love and active sympathy, by the bedside of the sick and dying. In these last sad rites his was the helpful hand and the comforting words. So is his memory woven into the history of every family." 6 chil. b. in Sutton, Ms. 16 1.

He went to Bennington Academy for his short preparatory course, and was admitted to Dartmouth College in his nineteenth year. He was graduated in 1793, and after spending a year in teaching as Principal of the academy at Londonderry, N. H., with satisfaction to all, he began the study of Theology with Dr. Charles Backus of Somers, Ct.; and on Feb. 3, 1796, he was licensed to preach by the Association of Tolland Co. His early ministrations were such as to induce several invitations to a settlement, and, on June 10, 1798, he was ordained pastor of the Cong. Ch. in Leicester, Ms., where he became an active trustee, and for a time was Prin- cipal of Leicester Academy; and he was highly esteemed among the neighboring churches as a man and a preacher until his dismissal, Oct. 28, 1811, when he accepted the appointment of Prof, of Latin and Greek in Dartmouth. Here he exerted an influence for order, religion, and morality among the students and the community for four years that, soon after his election to the presidency of Williams, led the Trustees of Dartmouth to confer on him the degree of D. D., 1816. Four discourses from his pen were published. Williams College in 1815 was a small institution with a situation unfavorable to growth; and at the meeting. May 2, 1815, at which Prof. Moore was elected Pres., the Trustees chose a committee to consider and report at the next meeting on a favorable place to which the college might be removed. The Franklin County Association of Cong. Ministers, at a meeting in Shelburn, May 10, 1815, in view of the probable benefits resulting to the community from the establish- ment of a college in old Hampshire Co., voted unanimously, "that the town of Amherst appeared to them to be the most eligible place for locating such an Institution."* When invited to the presidency of Williams, Prof. Moore was ♦This and the following quotations, with the facts as to Dr. Moore's connection with Williams and Amherst, are principally from "The History of Amherst College." 220 MOORE. informed by the messenger of the action of the Trustees as to the removal of the college, and told that there was no doubt of the removal, the only question being in which of several towns it should be located. The necessity of removal was understood by Prof. Moore; he accepted the presidency with that in view, and during his connection with Williams endeavored to bring it about. "He had now found a congenial element and his appropriate sphere. His bland manners set the trembling candidate for admission to the Freshman class instantly at ease in his presence. His kind and sympathetic heart made every student feel that he had in the President a personal friend. At the same time his firmness in the administration of the government convinced even the Sopho- mores that they had found their master and must obey the laws. The effect was soon seen in the good order, the gentlemanly deportment, and the studious habits of the young men; a gradual though not rapid increase in numbers, and the growing prosperity of the college." Students from Dartmouth, and from the vicinity of Leicester, whei-e he had been pastor and teacher, accompanied the Pres. to Williams; and, under his administration, between 1815 and 1818, the attendance was increased from fifty- eight to ninety-one, due chiefly to his personal influence. This encouraged him to expect still greater achievements with better conditions, and to more strenuous exertions to remove the college. At a Trustees' meeting, Nov. 10, 1818, the Pres. declared his intention to resign unless the removal could be effected in accordance with the undei'standing at the time of his accepting the presidency; and a resolution that it was expedient to remove the college was passed by a vote of nine out of twelve of the trustees; but the difficulty in pro- curing favorable legislation, and the bitter opposition of the town's people de- layed and finally prevented the change. For some years there had been an institution of learning at Amherst which it was proposed to erect into a college, and the Trustees invited Dr. Moore to become its president. In his letter of acceptance, dated at Williamstown, June 12, 1821, he says: "I had made up my mind to resign my office in this college next Commencement. Providence had clearly made it consistent with my duty to leave then, if not sooner. I have ascertained so far as I had opportunity, the opinion of those who are the friends of evangelical truth with respect to the necessity, prospects, and usefulness of such an institution as that contemplated at Amherst." His salary was fixed at twelve hundred dollars. "At Williamstown, of course, the excitement ran high. The people of the town sent in a spirited remonstrance against the removal of the College, and certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, holding President Moore largely re- sponsible, vented their resentment against him by shaving and cutting off the tail of his horse. And the good President drove his horse down to Amherst in that condition, saying he did not see why the follies of a few rowdies should deprive him of the use of the animal, and it did not hurt his feelings any more than it hurt the feelings of the horse." Amherst College was opened Sep. 19, 1821, and forty-seven students were admitted, a part into each of the regular classes; and fifteen of these followed MOORE. 221 the Pres. from Williams. This, according to Dr. Humphrey, his successor, was probably the largest number "that had ever been matriculated on the first day of opening any new college." The field of labor now before Pres. Moore was full of promise, and he entered it with all his disciplined and matured energies dedicated to this the last work of his life on earth. The following extracts from the "History of Amherst College" indicate the extent of his labors and the esteem in which he was held there. "Prof. Charles U. Shepard of the class of '25 has contributed the following graphic sketch of men and things at Amherst in those early days ... 'In Dr. Moore, a gentleman of suave manners, of true Christian dignity, and of singular judgment in managing youth, we had an admirable president. I venture to suspect that he was the only College President in the United States, who, from the beginning, personally subscribed for the somewhat expensive numbers of the Journal of the Royal Institute, of London. From this source and others similar, he appears to have gained a prevision of the importance of the modern sciences in education; and to him mainly, are we indebted for the early foothold which they gained in the Institution.' . . . "The amount of labor which he had been performing for nearly two years, together with the responsibility and anxiety that pressed upon him, were enough to break down the most vigorous constitution. In addition to his appro- priate duties as President and as Chairman of the Board of Trustees, he heard all the recitations of the Senior, and in part those of the Sophomore class, performed several journeys to Boston to promote the interests of the Institution, and solicited in a number of places pecuniary aid in its behalf. The revival, while it gladdened his heart beyound measure greatly added to his labors and responsibilities. His constitution, naturally strong, was overtaxed by such ac- cumulated labors and anxieties, and had begun to give way perceptibly, before the attack of disease which terminated his life. "On Wednesday the 25th of June, he was seized with a bilious colic. From the first the attack was violent, and excited fears of a fatal termination. 'During his short sickness' we quote the language of a loving and beloved pupil, one of the converts in the recent revival, (Prof. Bela B. Edwards in the Quar- terly Register, Vol. V, p. 183). 'The college was literally a place of tears. Prayer was offered unto God unceasingly for him. We have never seen more heartfelt sorrow, than was depicted in the countenances of nearly a hundred young men, all of whom loved him as their own father. But while they were filled with anxiety and grief. Dr. Moore was looking with calmness and joy upon the prospects which were opening before him. While flesh and heart were failing him, Christ was the strength of his heart and the anchor of his soul. And when his voice failed and his eyes were closing in death, he could still whisper, "God is my hope, my shield, and my exceeding great reward." ' "He died on Monday, the 29th of June, 1823, in the fifty-third year of his age. The funeral solemnities were attended on the Wednesday following, in the presence of a great concourse of people from Amherst and the surrounding region. An appropriate sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Snell, of North 222 MOORE. Brookfield. As they returned from committing the remains to the ground, in the cemetery where they now rest beneath a monument erected by the Trustees; the guardians and teachers, the students and friends of the Institution all felt for the moment that its hopes were buried in the grave of its first President; for who could take his place and carry on the work which he had so well begun, but which had proved too heavy a burden even for him to bear? So profound was the sympathy of the Senior class with their beloved president, that they were reluctant to take any part in the Commencement exercises at which he could not preside. And so dark, in their view, was the cloud which rested on the infant seminary, that, reduced to despair, they were on the point of closing their connection with it and graduating at some other Institution. Accordingly at the close of the funeral services, the class appeared before the Board of Trustees, and asked to be released from all participation in the Commencement Exercises, and with all further connection wtih the College. (Manuscript letter of Rev. Theophilus Packard). But at the earnest solicitation of the Board they consented to stand in their lot. "Of his importance to this Institution and the invaluable services which he rendered to it in its early struggles for existence, none was more competent to testify, and no one has done it with more truth and eloquence than his sue- cesser in the Presidency. 'If we estimate the length of life by what a man actually accomplishes for the best good of his kind,' says Dr. Humphrey in his Inaugural Address, 'we shall see that Dr. Moore, though taken away in the high meridian of his usefulness, was "old and full of days." To say nothing here of the ability with which he filled other important stations, and of the good which he did in them all, the services rendered by him to this Institution, within less than the short space of two years were sufficient to entitle him to the gratitude of thousands now living, and of far greater numbers who are yet to be born. Broad and deep are the foundations which he assisted in laying upon this consecrated hill. Strong was his own arm, freely was it offered for the great work, and powerful was the impulse which his presence and ever- cheering voice gave to the wakening energies of benevolence around him. But highly as his various plans and counsels and labors are now appreciated, future generations in walking over this ground, with the early history of the College before them, will, there is little reason to doubt, place him still higher among its distinguished benefactors. It will then appear, what and how much he did to give shape and character to an Institution which, we believe, is destined to live and bless the church in all coming ages. " 'By nature a great man, by grace a good man, and in the providence of God a useful man, a correct thinker and a lucid writer, a sound theologian, instruct- ive preacher and greatly beloved pastor, a wise counselor and sympathetic friend, a friend and father especially to all the young men of the infant College in which he was at the same time a winning teacher and a firm presiding officer, Dr. Moore filled every station he occupied with propriety, and raised the reputa- tion of every literary institution with which he became connected.' Such in brief, is the character sketched of him by one who knew him intimately both ]\I()()RI-:. 223 in the ])astorate and in the presidenry, and who was incaijablp of an cxagKeration. "Dr. Moore was a man of medium stature, but of commanding presence, weighing some two hundred and forty pounds, yet without any appearance of obesity, neat in his dress, retaining his use of short breeches and long hose which were particularly becoming to his person; and in his manners there was a union of suavity and dignity, rare anywhere, especially in persons bred in the country, w^hich marked him as a gentleman of the old school, one of nature's noblemen, and which, while it attracted the love of his pupils, invariably com- manded also their respect. "His corpulence gave additional pertinence and force to a story which the early students were fond of telling, illustrative of the quiet dignity and felicity with which he administered reproof. T., a wild, frolicsome, and noisy student, one day came jumping and halooing through the halls and down the stairways just as Dr. Moore was entering the outer door, and was very near running over the Doctor. 'T.' said the President with perfect self-possession and serenity, 'yon should remember that two bodies cannot occupy the same place at the same time.' "He reposed great confidence in the honesty and good intentions of the stu- dents and was especially slow to impeach their veracity. The same student of which the above anecdote is related, tried the President's patience in a great many ways, among others by going out of town without leave. Once when the President charged him with this offense, he denied it. There was scarcely room for a doubt that he was guilty of falsehood. But taking him at his word, the President said: 'I am glad to find that you did not go; I could not be"lieve that you would do such a thing.' The student went away ashamed of his falsehood, and declared to his fellows that he would never lie again to Dr. Moore. "A vein of pleasantry ran through Dr. Moore's dignity, and his habitual serenity was often suffused with smiles. When he arrived at Amherst with his shaven and shorn horse, and some of the good people expressed their indigna- tion at the outrage, he said: 'I have nothing to say alx)ut the treatment I have received at Williamstown, but my horse can tell his own tale." "Habitually courteous himself, he expected and received courtesy from every student. 'I)Jo student could pass him without lifting his hat with a smile. The Doctor would always set the example, and if the first lifting of his own hat did not lead the student to raise his hat, the President would raise his the second time. I never saw the man who so commanded my love and veneration.' (Manuscript letter of Rev. Nahum Gould, of Class of '25). "Letters from those who graduated under him abound in illustrations of his personal kindness to them, sympathizing with them, loaning them money, and otherwise relieving their wants; and he always did these acts of kindness in so kind and winning a way as to double their value. The writers of all seem to feel that no other President ever was so courteous and kind, — none so highly honored and beloved. And 'when it was told in College that Dr. Moore could not live" — we borrow the language of one of the letters — 'a deep electrical throb of anguish van through all the classes. How can he be spared? was the agonized 224 MOORE. cry of every one we met. Who can fill his place? Who can do as he has done? Who can have the confidence of the community and the love of the students as he had?' "Dr. Moore left no children. He bequeathed his property, valued at some six thousand dollars, to his wife for her use while she lived, and after her death three-fifths of it to the Institution for the foundation of scholarships, three of which, bearing his name and worth about one hundred and fifty dollars a year each, now help to support three students nominated by the Brookfield Associa- tion of Congregational Ministers. According to the provisions of the will, two- fifths of the annual interest of his legacy are to be added to the principal, so as to make it, like the Charity fund, an increasing fund forever. As the fund accumulates, the number of beneficiaries is to be increased from time to time. "Mrs. Moore long survived him, living to advanced years, and through all these years nursing his estate with the most scrupulous assiduity for the benefit of the College, which she loved for its own sake as well as for the memory of her husband. She died Nov. 5, 1857, aged eighty-six years. Her remains lie beside those of her husband beneath an appropriate marble monument erected to his memory by the Trustees. (The estate left by her husband has been in- creased by her economy and good management)." 29 (IV.)

Oct. 29, 1887; son of Henry and Sarah (Willsey) Moore of Milford. She is a woman of uncommon mental powers, has a fine library, is a great reader, and stores her mind with knowledge that, like many of the Fulhams, she never loses. She was left a widow by the accidental death of her husband, and assumed the responsibility of settling his estate consisting of a section — 140 acres — of land, and thousands of dollars in stock and tools; the management of which required executive ability equal to that of an able man; but she brought it to a successful termina- tion, acting so conscientiously and well her part as to escape unfavorable criticism. Since then she has managed a farm of nearly 300 acres, and has shown unusual capacity for farming. She is a lover of flowers, and discourses about them in the language of a botanist. From the first, she manifested an interest in this work, and she has spent considerable time and money in the collection of records that aid in developing the history of her ancestors herein. 3 chil. b. in Lyon, Mich. 112 1.

Esther was a Congregationalist, and declined Volney's offer of marriage unless he would join her church, which he, being a member of the Universalist Church, would not do. On reflection, she judged that, since he pre- ferred his church to her, he must be a man of character, which might be the result of his faith; she married him, and his faith soon became her own. For many years she was Supt. of the Univ. Sunday School, and, after her husband's death, she continued to cherish his faith in the final salvation of all men from sin. She was educated at the Academy of Bennington, Vt., with Edwin H. Chapin, afterwards a celebrated Universalist Divine; and she related that his oratorical powers were then so great that, when a prize for declamation was offered, many students would decline to compete if Chapin was to speak. After he was ordained, being at Bennington, Chapin's admirers wished him to preach in the Cong. Ch., but the authorities of the ch. refused to permit it; whereupon, the ladies of the town declared that, if Edwin Chapin could not preach there, there would be another Battle of Bennington; consent was given, and Chapin preached. At the Wilmington Reunion, July 4, 1890, Mrs. Forbes read an original poem in the style of Hiawatha, that indicated considerable ability; and it was printed with the other pro- ceedings. At the age of 86, Mrs. Forbes, when visited by the Author, was keeping house alone and doing her own work. 7 5. Andrew Packard of Independence, Mo., m. Martha Noland. 8 2.

They built a house of logs, covering the roof with elm bark that kept out only part of the storm, and making the floor of split basswood. At the first Town Meeting in Avon, George W. Postal was elected Overseer of Highways. In 1821 a school was opened in a log building erected for its use near the Postals; and the Methodists held Sunday services in the Postal house. In 1825 Mr. Postal built a sawmill on his farm, by Clinton River; and years after his son Charles built a grist-mill near it. Lydia Pulham Postal was large, tall, erect, stately, and very beautiful. She inherited much of the courage and strength of her Fiilham an- cestors; and many stories are told of her brave exploits in connection with the neighboring In- Lydia P^lliiam Postal. 1. dians. Her last days were spent with her son George, and in her many walks "across lots" over the hills of Avon to visit her daughter Sarah, her tall, straight figure, after three score years and ten, often awakened admiration.

Removing this growth by the ordinary method would cost $10 an acre; when made fit for cultivation it will be valuable; and besides the benefits arising from this service, he expects to realize large profits from the mohair, averaging about five pounds a goat each year, and worth from 25 cents to $2 a pound; and from the natural increase of his flock. A shed 150 feet long with a southern ex- posure will protect the goats from storms, and a well will supply them with water. If the ex- periment succeeds, large tracts of similar land in Northern Lower Michigan will be treated in the same way. 5 chil. b. in Evart. 65 1. James Ralph Postal, b. Mar. 5, 18S4. 66 2.

CANDACE LUCRETIA FULHAM (279) SKINNER of Waterville, Me., daii. of Sewall and Eunice Howe (Goddard 86) Fulham (277) ; b. in Lndlow, Vt, April 28, 1828; d. Dec. 16, 1899 in Waterville; m. June 29, 1854, Rev. JOSEPH OBERLIN SKIN- NER, A. M., a Universalist Clergyman, b. Feb. IS, 1816; d. Jan. 12, 1879 in Waterville; son of David Skinner of Piermont, N. H. At the age of six or seven years she had a severe attack of pneumonia, the apparent cause of delicate health during the rest of her life; and in later years she suffered for long periods from a com- plication of many forms of disease, the probable result of this early sickness. During several of her latest years her sight was impaired so as to prevent any considerable use of her eyes in read- ing, writing, or study; and entirely incapacitate her for the various kinds of artistic work with a needle at which she was an adept, and in which she had found great delight. For nearly four Candace L. F. Skixner. years she was unable to converse except in whispers, but her voice was restored during the last few months. She inherited in considerable measure the massive brain of her father, Sewall Fulham, her head having a circumference of 23% inches, with much of his intellectual power and his marvelous memory; and she developed these to the uttermost by the studious habits of a lifetime. Her opportunities for in- struction were limited to the common school and the village academy, in which she ranked as one of the best of her class; but in these she made only the begin- ning of her scholarly attainments, which finally reached a degree of excellence known to few. For some years she was a teacher of public and private schools; and between 1847 and 1850 she taught French to pupils of the academy at Ludlow. In 1850 she became Preceptress of the Liberal Institute at Waterville, Me., a Universalist school, in which she was associated, first, with James P. Weston, D. D., after- wards Pres. of Lombard University; and finally with Harris M. Plaisted, in later times Member of Congress and Governor of Maine. Here her fitness for the position was so well recognized that, when occasion required, she was intrusted with the instruction of any and all classes. Her scholarly accomplishments included a thorough knowledge of the Latin and the French languages; a less acquaintance with the Greek and Italian; familiarity with botany; and the mastery of English in all its details. And she was an excellent mathematician. Never having been taught to speak French by one "to the manner born." she was not satisfied with her attainments in that language; and, when she learned that an educated Frenchman, Dr. Samuel A. Buteau, A. B., was teaching 262 SKINXER. in the academy at Ludlow, she took a vacation, in the winter term of the In- stitute, 1851-2, and devoted it to study under his instruction during all available hours between 5 a. m. and 10 p. m., six days in a week, and with such success that Dr. Buteau afterwards said to her father: "Miss Fulham is the best French scholar I ever had." At the end of this course a copy of "Grammaire de Grammaires," Paris Edition, and two smaller text books, such as were used by Dr. Buteau in his instruction, as authorities, were imported from France for her; and, thus equipped, she returned to her teaching and study. On the final settlement of the family in Waterville, Me., her husband's last pastorate, Mrs. Skinner found herself among her former pupils and old friends, and resumed her teaching of French, especially, and other branches of learning, to their children and others that sought instruction at her home. On Sunday, Feb. 5, 1878, while engaged in a funeral service at the Congrega- tional Church of Waterville, Mr. Skinner was prostrated by paralysis, which, after nearly a year of helplessness, caused his death. He had been Editor of the Universalist Register, a statistical annual of the denomination, for several years; and, during his disability, she gathered the data, prepared the copy, and directed the publication of the issue of 1879. In the following year she was appointed Editor by the Universalist Publishing House, and she continued the work until after the publication of the number for 1881, when a long and severe sickness terminated the employment. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Skinner resumed the instruction of private pupils, and included that of her son, who, at the age of fifteen, had never attended school. Among her pupils was a promising young man that had been entered at Colby University, but, by reason of ill-health, was unable to pursue the regular curriculum. Mrs. Skinner became his tutor, and he remained under her instruction, devoting to his studies such time as his strength permitted, until his advancement was satisfactory to him and his friends. She was a great reader and familiar with the writings of the best authors, repeating from memory much, especially poetry, that she admired. She was devoted to her church, and as long as her strength admitted, she gave much time to its service, particularly in the Sunday School, collecting funds for the purchase of books for its library, and putting them in repair, often with her own hands. The loss of her first-born, a child of great promise, at the age of fourteen months, was an abiding grief to her motherly heart; cognizance of him seemed ever uppermost in her thoughts, and "Little Eddie" came daily from her lips. A union with him and the many loved ones gone before was her dearest hope, and, in her faith, was an almost accomplished fact; the prospect of death was sweet to her, and when it came, it was without suffering or sorrow that she entered the immortal life. Her body, by her request, was laid between her husband and her infant son, near her parents in the Cemetery of her native town, where a monument bears an inscription for each. 2 chil. 2 1.

He held many offices in Ludlow, was several times Lister, Constable, and Collector of Taxes; and in 1871 and 1872 he represented the town in the State Legislature. In 1876 he was a Senator from Windsor Co.; and he was Enrolling Officer in the Civil War. He was a Deacon of the Universalist Church in Ludlow for many years, and a Trustee of the Society 12 years im- mediately following its incorporation in 1888; and he was a member of the board of Trustees of the Universalist Convention of Vermont and Province of Quebec, and a Trustee of Goddard Seminary, a Universalist School at Barre, Vt., for several consecutive years.

At the approach of the storm she and a lawyer occupying an office in the second story took refuge in the basement of her building of brick, where both were buried in the ruins and in danger of being burned alive by the con- flagration that followed. Her cries brought assistance by which both were rescued, but she saw the flames pass over her before she was extricated, and most of her garments were left to the fire. She afterwards devoted her life to the care of her aged and infirm parents. 1 (V.) ABBY MOORE MILLS (4; WHITTELSEY of Auburndale, Ms., dau. of Abigail Moore (14) and Rev.
