In the year 1900 the author became interested in the history of his own ancestry and, visiting the PubHc Library in Boston, was surprised to find how largely they had contributed to the pioneer work in Connecticut and especially in the founding of New Haven Colony. The accumulation of such material, during the last four years, has led to the conviction that it should be preserved in some enduring form and so arranged as to be of historical value not only to members of the Brockett family but to the general public. He sought long for some one to engage in such an underta- king. Failing to find any one willing to assume so great an expense, or engage in work requiring so much of time, travel, and corre- spondence, he reluctantly undertook the work himself, believing as Frederick Douglas once said, that "We owe it to the generations that go before us, and to those which come after us, to perpetuate the memory and example of those who in a signal manner made themselves serviceable to humanity." The author of the "Doolittle Family in America" has happily expressed his view of genealogical work as follows : "With the passing years distance seems to lend an enchant- ment to our view of the olden time, and year by year we gain a more appreciative glimpse of that wondrous fabric into whose warp and woof our forefathers wove their lives. Pride in ancestry may be a form of vanity, but on the authority of a well known writer, 'It is an impersonal sort of failing, which, like to the ex- cessive love of country, leans virtueward,' for the man who fears to disgrace his ancestors is certainly less likely to disgrace himself." This generation, more than any other, is looking up from the crowding cares of business to catch an inspiration from the charac- ters of those who laid the foundation of this, the most glorious nation of all times. 10 PREFACE. That it is a hif^hly coveted privileg^e to number one's ances- tors among the fathers of the RepiibUc, the large membership in numerous patriotic societies, as well as the recent publications of many family histories will testify. In sending forth this work, which has cost me so much of time and labor during the last four years. I wish to acknowledge to the fullest extent my obligations to Mr. John B. Koetteritz of Little Falls, N. Y., who kindly prepared the history of the descendants of Amos Brockett from 1757 to the present time; to Mr. Charles A. Brockett of Kansas City, who has spent much of time and money in tracing the English history ; to Mr. Francis E. Brockett of East Orange, who aided me greatly in conducting the immense correspondence requisite in its preparation ; to Mr. Sheldon B. Thorpe of North Haven for access to his extensive manuscripts relating to the settlers in North Haven ; and for valuable informa- tion kindly furnished by Mrs. D. M. Wells of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. J. R. Holley and Mrs. B. F. Judd of Bristol, Conn. ; Mrs. Mary B. Fenton of Atwater, Ohio ; Mr. Thomas Brockett of Fargo, North Dakota ; Mr. Frank S. Brockett of Parkersburg, W. Va., and Mr. A. C. Bates of the Connecticut Historical Society at Hartford. The arrangement, which is substantially that recommended by the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, is simple, and possesses many advantages to the general reader. Every person of direct descent, whether male or female, has a consecutive number, which can be ascertained by consulting the alphabetical index. Where a cross (-{-) appears before that number it shows that a more extended sketch of that person will appear further on, under the same number in large black figures. Grandchildren will appear with alphabetical prefixes in paren- thesis, thus (a), (b). Great-grandchildren in Roman num- bers (i.) (11.) (iv.). Names received too late to receive their appropriate consecu- tive number will appear with alphabetical suffices, thus 959a, 959b, 959c. In giving an equal prominence to the daughters as well as PREFACE. II the sons, in the preparation of this voUime, the author was influ- enced by the views of Mr. George F. Tuttle, who in his "Tuttle Genealogy" states that "by actual calculation, in seven genera- tions, the proportion of descendants of one common ancestor, those bearing other names than the original will outnumber the latter in the proportion of sixty-four to one. That the chances are sixty-four to one that the family characteristics will be found in the female branches. The work of the Pater-lineist is too nar- row in its scope to merit the name of 'family' history." He maintains that the strong traits of character of the mother are more generally transmitted through two or three gen- erations than those of the father, and cites as an illustration the mother of Jonathan Edwards. Notwithstanding all the care which has been exercised, and all the means taken to verify names and dates, mistakes have doubtless occurred. The work is not as complete as I desired to make it. The families are widely scattered, and it is to be regretted that many have failed to reply to the urgent requests for information. To those who have so kindly responded to my inquiries I return my thanks, and shall retain very pleasant memories of per'sonal interviews, hospitalities and epistolary favors. Many persons think the preparation of a genealogy is a money-making scheme. This is a great mistake. I think no genealogy ever paid pecuniarily. It is wholly a work of love. East Orange, N. J. Edward J. Brockett. Note — The amount of work involved in the preparation of such a book can hardlj- be imagined by any one who has not undertaken it. The aim of the editor was to trace the history all the way from the first settler in this country. There being few printed vital statistics in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it has been necessary to examine all town records and wills on record, from 1637 to present date, in all towns and cities where the early families lived, and to copy those made by Brocketts. This has involved the searching of over iioo manuscript volumes of town and probate records, and over 1200 printed volumes of genealogies, while months of time have been spent in the great historical libraries, involving a heavy outlay for traveling expenses, printing, postage and stationery. The correspondence alone has covered 3500 circulars, 3000 written letters, and return postage on 1500 letters. Competent persons have been em- ployed at great expense to make research, both in England and America, this in addition to the cost of printing, illustrating and binding the book. HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. RELATING TO THE EARLY SETTLEMENT OF NEW HAVEN AND WALLINGFORD, CONNECTICUT, THE HOMES OF THE EARLY BROCKETTS. In 1620, when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, New England was one vast wilderness, inhabited only by Indians and wild beasts. For the first decade immigration was very light, and but few settlements were made. The oppressive acts of King Charles I. led to quite an increase of immigration between 1630 and 1640. On the twenty-sixth of June, 1637, the ship Hector,'^' with its consort, arrived in Boston, bringing a company of immigrants, who received a warmer welcome than ordinary. It was composed of persons of opulence, intelligence, and business experience, who had come with their families and whole estates from England for a home in America. With them came Rev. John Davenport, who had become celebrated in London, first as a preacher, second for his cour- ageous residence with and care of his flock during the dreadful plague in 1625, when the clergy generally fled, and, third, for coming in conflict with Archbishop Laud on account of his non-conformist views and through whose persecution he was led to withdraw from the Established Church and form a Puritan congregation in London. Also with them came Theophilus Eaton, a prosperous mer- chant, Deputy Governor of the East Land Company, and who for several years had resided in Denmark as an agent of King Charles I. On his return to London he left the Established Church and became a member of the Puritan congregation of the Rev. John Davenport. He had been one of the original patentees * See note at end of Historical Introduction. 14 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY, of the Charter of Massachusetts. Not only the people of Boston, but the whole Colony of Massachusetts were desirous that this company should settle within its Commonwealth and made liberal proposals to them, but this was not in accord with the purposes of either Davenport or Eaton. Davenport's idea seemed to be to found a colony which should be absolutely controlled by the church ; only church members eligible to office, or even allowed to vote, transferring to this country the English idea of "Church and State" ; only, instead of the Episcopal Church, it must be a Church of the Congregational order with which he was identified. During the summer of 1637 that portion of the southern shore of Connecticut, lying between Saybrook and Fairfield, had been discovered through the pursuit of the Pequots by the Colo- nists ; and on the thirty-first of August, 1637, Theophilus Eaton headed an exploring party and came by water from Boston to the mouth of the Quinnipiac River. They were so well pleased with the locality that they left seven of their number to hold possession and prepare for the permanent occupation of the place. In the ensuing April (1638) the whole company, including John Brockett, whose descendants are given in this volume, arrived from Boston. On the Sunday following their arrival the company assembled under the trees twice for public worship. Mr. Davenport preached from the text : "Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit to be tempted of the Devil," warning his hearers that even here temptations are to be encountered and the fight with Satan has not ended, though they have changed the battleground from London to the wilder- ness. Ever after public worship was maintained. Among their first acts they purchased from the Indians two tracts of land, one of which covered many miles on each side of the Quinnipiac River, extending northward ten miles. By a fair treaty and subsequent fair dealings the Colonists made firm friends of the Indians, and were never seriously molested. A town plan was laid out and house lots assigned to each planter, according to the number of persons in his family and the amount of estate on which he was able and willing to pay taxes. HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. 15 On June 4, 1639, '*a meeting of all the free planters was held to consult about settling- the civil government according to God, and the nominations of persons that might be found, by consent of all, fittest in all respects for the foundation work of a church which was intended to be gathered in Quinipiac." At this meeting a covenant was entered into by the proprietors and in a formal and very solemn manner a resolution was adopted, "that only church members shall be free burgesses and they only shall choose among themselves the magistrates and officers." This covenant was signed by all the freeholders. Theophilus Eaton was elected Governor, and reelected each year from 1638 until his death in 1657. John Brockett, a civil engineer and sur- veyor, was appointed "to lay out the large square in nine equal sections"; also to lay out the "neck of land." Later, in the Colonial Records, mention is made of the accuracy of the angles and the equality of the sections as laid out by him. These remain to this day unaltered in boundaries, and comprise what is now known as the New Haven Green and the grounds of Yale University. On December 12, 1641, the town "ordered that a free school shall be sett up in this towne," which is said to be the first free school in New England. The interest of the colonists in education was further mani- fested in 1644 (fifty-seven years before Yale College was founded), in the passage of the following: "It is ordered that Joseph Atwater and William Davis shall receive of everyone in this plantation, whose heart is willing to contribute, a peck of wheat, or the value of it. for the reliefe of poor scholars at the College at Cambridge" (Harvard). Sunday was observed with the greatest reverence, no one being excused from attending "meeting" except for sickness. Non- attendance was punished by fines and sometimes by whipping. "New Haven was from the first a compactly settled town of more than one hundred and thirty families, and many of its inhabitants not only refined but wealthy. New Haven excelled all the other plantations in New England in the elegance and cost- liness of its domestic architecture. Hubbard, the historian, who l6 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY, was seventeen years of age when New Haven was founded, speaks of its 'error in great buildings,' and afterwards alludes to it again, saying : 'They laid out too much of their stocks and estates in building of fair and stately houses, wherein at the first they outdid the rest of the country.' "Tradition reports that the house of Theophilus Eaton was so large as to have nineteen fireplaces, and that it was lofty as well as large. Its principal apartment, denominated — as in the mother country — 'The Hall,' was the first to be entered. It was sufficiently spacious to accommodate the whole family when assembled at meals and at prayers. Family worship was an important feature of domestic life in a Puritan household. It was important because of its frequency, regularity, and seriousness. Whenever the family came to the table for breakfast, dinner, or supper, there was a grace before the meat ; and when they left it, a grace after meat, every person standing by his chair while the blessing was asked and the thanks were given. The day was begun with worship, which included the reading of Scripture and prayer, and ended with a similar service, all standing during the prayer."* The simple, regular life of a planter's family was favorable to health. As compared with the present time, there was but little excitement and but little worry for man or woman. News from home was communicated to the neighbors by "letters of intelligence," an institution which during the existence of the colony began to give place to printed newspapers. These were passed from hand to hand. Corn was husked and houses were "raised" by neighborly kindness. The whole plantation sympa- thized with a family afflicted with sickness, and the neighbors assisted them in nursing and watching. Families entertained travellers after the manner of Christians of the first century, and highly prized their visits as seasons of fellowship and opportunities for learning the news of the day. The names of very many towns in Connecticut were taken from England. That of Wallingford, derived from the Anglo- * Atwater's History of New Haven. HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. 1/ Saxon Gaullhen, i.e., "old fortification," was the name of an old town in England which Leland thus quaintly describes : "The town of WalHngford hath beene a very notable thing and welle waulled. And by the patentes and donations of Edmunde, Erie of Cornewaul, and Lord of the House of Wallingford, ther wer 14 Parish Chirchis in WalHngford." The town was formerly surrounded by a wall ; the castle stood by the river. Camden, in his "Britannia," says : "The castle's size and magnificence used to strike me with astonish- ment." He believed it to have been built by the Romans, after- ward destroyed by the Saxons and Danes, and re-built under William I. In 1667 the General Assembly of Connecticut granted to "the town of New Haven, liberty to make a village on the East River, if they see it capable for such a thing, provided they settle a village there within four years from May next." In 1670 the same authority incorporated "New Haven Vil- lage" as a town, and named it Wallingford. * "It appears that Abraham Doolittle and John Peck were on the ground in 1668, and John Brockett and John Moss in the autumn of 1669, which fact was undoubtedly the cause of their being selected as a committee to superintend and manage the affairs of the new village ; but it was not until the month of April, 1670, that the first permanent settlement at Wallingford was made. "In May, 1672, after the planters had received their respective allotments, built their houses, and had assumed the form of a regular and settled community, the committee who had arranged all the preliminaries and incipient stages of the new plantation surrendered all their power and the title to the whole territory into the hands of the planters, who thereby became a corporate body ; in other words, a town. The lands within the town limits became thus the property of the town, to be by them disposed of in such ways and to such persons as they might deem fit. "In these various transfers of the land, from the Town of New Haven to the committee, thence to the associated planters, and ultimately to individual proprietors, no money or considera- * Davis' History of Wallingford. l8 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. tion of any kind was paid. The land was worth Hterally nothing until actually settled and cleared. From time to time, as families became larger and individuals became able to bring more land under cultivation, additional allotments were made by town vote to each planter. At various times there were 'divisions' in this manner, until the whole territory was occupied. "In arranging these divisions, the whole population was classed into three 'ranks,' according to their ability to pay taxes. In all assessments, the first rank paid double the amount of tax charged on the 'loest rank,' and one-third more than the middle rank.'' Wallingford is the only town whose territory was taken out of that of the Town of New Haven before the incorporation of the city, in 1784. The subtraction of fifty families from its census, for the settlement of Wallingford, made the growth of New Haven appear less than it really was. The inhabitants of Walling- ford, though in a different town, were tributary to New Haven in the way of trade. In the New Haven Colony Laws for 1656 we find "That none shall be admitted Freeman or free Burgesses within this Juris- diction, or any part of it, but such planters as are members of some one of the approved Churches of New England." Also, "It is ordered, That no single person of either Sex, do hence forward board, or Sojourn, or be permitted so to do, or to have lodging, or house room within any of the plantations of this Jurisdiction, except in some approved Family, licensed thereunto, by the court, or by a Magistrate, or some Officer or Officers in that Plantation, appointed thereunto, where there is no Magistrate." Also that the head of the family should : "Duly observe the course, carriage, and behaviour, of every such single person, whether he, or she, walk diligently in a constant lawful employment." So careful were they in guarding the character of their new settlement that even the land which was appropriated to individ- uals as their private property was held under the condition that no sale was to be made to any stranger until the character of the proposed purchaser had been examined and approved by the HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. I9 town and leave granted by express vote of the town for such transfer of land. THEIR CURRENCY. * "The 'hopp ground land' was that which produced the materials for making hoops. Such land, though swampy, was then most valuable in the town. For in the great scarcity of a circulating medium, and of means for purchasing all foreign produce, these hoops and staves always found a great demand and a ready sale in the West Indies. Of course our farmers in trading with the New Haven merchants found these hoop-poles as useful as cash. Accordingly we find in the records of the town that these 'hopp ground lands' were most carefully managed, were granted out in very small quantities, and in the various grants recorded, each man was very careful that a piece of this precious land should be included in his farm. Hoops were made in large quantities in the winter season, when the farmers had nothing to do, and commanded from $20 to $45 per thousand in New Haven, according to their size and the wood from which they were made. Hoop poles twelve feet long brought $40 per thousand. This trade has entirely ceased since 1880. MILITARY RECORD. "Wallingford furnished her quota of troops for the French and Indian wars of 1690, and again in 1694 for the defense of Albany. The whole amount of taxes paid by Wallingford, in common with other towns, for the defense of New York and Massachusetts, amounted to the enormous burden of about twenty pence on the pound; so that at the close of the year 1695 the colony had drawn from the pockets of the people and paid out seven thousands of pounds. We cannot but admire the self- sacrificing spirit of the citizens, especially when we remember that they submitted to this heavy drain from their resources from the most unselfish motives that ever actuated a people. "In October, 1774, the General Assembly met at New Haven * Davis' History of IVallingford. 20 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. and a law was enacted to raise one-fourth of the militia for the special defense of the Colony, formed into companies of one hundred men each, and into six regiments. The companies from Wallingford were commanded by Captain Isaac Cook and Cap- tain John Couch. - " 'That each Soldier that Engages in the Continental Service, for the Quota of Wallingford, shall be paid by the town the sum of five pounds Lawful money by the year, for three years, unless sooner discharged, to be paid the beginning of each year. "'Voted fourpence halfpenny on the pound for the aforesaid purpose.' 'December i6, 1777, voted a tax of threepence on the pound for the benefit of the Soldiers and their Familys that are now in the Continental army.' " It is difficult at the present day to imagine the immense cfifficulties our fathers had to undergo in traveling from one town to another. Over mountains, through swamps, across rivers, fording, or upon rafts, with no compass to point out their irreg- ular way ; now in the open space of the forest, where the sun looked in ; now under the shade of the old trees ; now struggling through the entanglement of bushes and vines, with perhaps a "bridle path" cut through the trees. Wherever a road had been built it was little better than none at all. Our ancestors wrought with a love and kindly fellowship with Nature. They planted and admired the Elm, the Oak, and the Chestnut for their beauty and for their long life. Their descendants seem to have inherited their love for these trees, as New Haven still abounds in its Elms and rejoices in being called "The City of Elms." The religious convictions of these early settlers influenced their social life. In view of the frequency with which the planters were convened in greater or less companies, it is evident that, however affected by their Puritanism, they were a social people. The restrictions in regard to the sale of property gave them a community of sterling integrity, religious character, and loyalty to each other and to their country. It is well, therefore, to trace the career of their descendants, who have been, as Miss Blakeman said of the Welch people, very HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. 21 respectable, well-to-do, religious, practical, temperate, industrious and honest. The design of genealogical research is to preserve the mem- ory of local events and enterprises, as well as family history, and to record the manners and customs, the character and services, the sacrifices, toils and sufferings of our fathers, and to glean from old records and family traditions, well worthy of preservation, material which would otherwise be lost to the State and Country. In furtherance of this design, this volume has been prepared. Note — In the summer of 1636 several vessels recently arrived from England being in the harbor of Boston, Thomas Miller, the master's mate of one of them, was apprehended and brought before the Governor for saying to some one who came on board that the Colonists were traitors and rebels because they did not display the King's colors at their fort. The ship on which this insufferable speech was spoken was the Hector, of London, William Femes, Master. Sailing from Boston in July, she was chartered, after her arrival in London, by the company afterward known as the "Planters of New Haven." While they were preparing for another voyage to Boston she was seized by the Lords of the Admiralty for the King's service, to which the owner made a petition that the vessel was previously chartered and great loss would ensue. The Admiralty refused, and the captain made a second petition. Ultimately, the Hector was released. The names of the freight- ers were withheld in all the negotiations for release. The Lords of the Council were not ignorant that a considerable emigration to New England had already taken place, but supposed them to be. for the most part, poor and mean people of little advantage at home, and they were unaware how strongly this emigration was leavened with Puritanism. If they had known that several wealthy merchants of London inclined to non-Conformity, had embarked their whole estates in the Hector and were intending to go to New England with their families, they would have found means to frustrate their undertaking. As the names of those who embarked in the Hector are not found in the register of the emigrants from London in that year, some conclude that they may have sailed from some other port. We know that several ships sailed from Bristol. Among others, the Angel Gabriel and the James (which latter brought the Rev. Richard Mather and the Rev. Daniel Maude to Boston), but no record of that port remains. I am confident, however, that the Hector sailed from London. * , • , «- The correspondence between Captam Femes and the Admiralty sutti- ciently proves it. The company doubtless left England about the mid- dle of April, for soon after, and perhaps to meet cases similar to this. a proclamation was issued restraining the disorderly passing out of the Kingdom to America, and commanding that none of the King's subjects be permitted to go without a license from the Commission- ers of Plantations and a "certificate that they had taken the oath of allegiance and of conformity to the discipline of England, returns to be made every half year to the Commissioners. — Ativater's "Colony of Nexv Haven." JOHN BROCKETT, first (Beneration. John Brockett, the first person of the name of Brockett, of whom any record can be found in this country, was born in Eng- land in 1609 and came to America in 1637, probably in the ship Hector, with Rev. John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton, which ship arrived in Boston June 26, 1637. The list of passengers on that vessel was never published, and, for prudential reasons, its clearance never appeared in the records of any English port so far as can be ascertained. {See foot note to the Hist. Introduction.) In regard to the persons who accompanied Rev. John Davenport to this country and who joined him in the settlement of New Haven, G. H. Hollister, in his "History of Connecticut," says, "They were gentlemen of wealth and character, with their servants and household effects. They were, for the most part, from Lon- don and had been bred to mercantile and commercial pursuits. Their coming was hailed at Boston with much joy, for they were the most opulent of all the companies who had emigrated to New England." Shortly after the arrival of the Hector in Boston, Eaton and a few others, unwilling to join the Massachusetts Colony, explored the coast along Long Island Sound, selecting a tract of land near the Quinipiac River, the present site of the City of New Haven, on which they left seven of their number to hold it for the win- ter. In the spring of 1638 (April 13,) Davenport with others among whom was John Brockett followed. They purchased the lands at Quinipiac of the Indians, and, "taking the Bible for their guide," formed an independent government or "Plantation Coven- ant" upon strictly religious principles. Prosperity attended them 24 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. and they laid the foundations of a town and called it Nezv Haven. John Brockett seems to have been one of the leading men of the company, as his name more often appears in the records of the New Haven colony than of any man in civil life, except that of Theophilus Eaton. He was a man of good judgment and one in whom the people had confidence, as shown from the fact, that in cases of trouble, or difference of opinion, he was generally appointed by the Plant- ers on a committee to adjust matters. When the Indians made claims obnoxious to the Settlers, he was appointed "one of a committee of four to investigate and ad- vise with the Indians." In 1660 when differences arose between the Conn. Colony at Hartford, and the New Haven Colony, as to boundary lines John Brockett was appointed one of the Commission to settle the troubles. He had a widely extended reputation as a Civil Engineer and .Surveyor, and in June, 1639, laid out the large square, (which is now the centre of the City of New Haven, including the Common and the site of the College buildings) in nine equal sections. Mention is made in the Colonial Records of the perfection of this work, especially of the angles. The same boundaries still con- tinue to be used. A few years later the Governor of New Jersey deputed John Brockett "to lay out, survey, and bound the said bounds of Eliza- beth Towne, (now the City of Elizabeth,) the planting fields, town lots, and to lay out every particular man's proposition, ac- cording to his allotments and the directions of the Governor, for the avoiding of all controversies and disputes concerning the same, having had certain notice of the good experience, knowledge, skill and faithfulness of John Brockett in the surveying and laying out of land." This work was performed by John Brockett, and an allotment of land was made to him in the town of Elizabeth, which he held until 1670, when the record of its sale to Samuel Hopkins appears. In order to perform this work, John Brockett removed temporar- ily to Elizabethtown in Dec. 1667, residing there until 1670. The SKETCH OF JOHN BROCKETT. 25 First General Assembly of New Jersey convened in Elizabeth- town and was constituted May 26, 1668. The town had chosen John Ogden, Senior, and John Brockett to represent them in the House of Burgesses.* PARENTAGE. There is very little of official record, in this country, concern- \ ing his birth. The tradition has existed, for two hundred years in New Haven, that John Brockett was the eldest son of Sir John Brockett, of Brockett Hall, Hertfordshire, England ; that, on account of his Puritanical ideas, his father (who had been knighted by Queen Elizabeth) disinherited him, and that John then gave up all claims to the title and estates of the Brocketts in England, in order to join the Puritan Band which came with Rev. John Davenport to America. This tradition has never met with any denial, and the writer, in receiving records, from all parts of the United States, of the early families of the name of Brockett, has found them generally commencing with Sir John Brockett, of Hertfordshire, showing that all branches of the descendants have maintained this belief. From another source the writer received the statement that be- fore coming to this country John Brockett fell in love with a Puri- tan maiden, that for her sake he gave up his right to the paternal estate, came to this country, established himself, provided a home for a wife, returned to England, married her and brought her to this country. In 1899 application was made to the Parish Clerk, at Hertford, England, to make research to establish these claims. In reply he writes : "I am told that the first son of Sir John was outlawed, is it not possible that this first son is the one who emigrated to America and settled there between 1630 and 1639?" From another source came the statement that Sir John Broc- kett not only disinherited his eldest son, but had his name re- moved from all the family records, so that it should never appear in any published lists of the family, or the connection with himself ever be traced. *Hatfield's Hist.

In one of the Connecticut relig^iotis papers, published in 1868, we find the following : "John Brockett, the eldest son of Sir John Brockett, of the county of Herts, Eng., who was a well known loyalist of the time of Charles I, becoming convinced of the truth of the Gospel as preached by the Puritans, relinquished his birthright and all his prospects of honor and fame, joined himself to the little company of Rev. John Davenport, emigrated to New England and settled at New Haven in 1637. Of him, as of Moses, it could be said that he preferred to sufifer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of Sin for a season." Where there is so much of corroborative evidence there can be little doubt that he was the son of Sir John Brockett. There is no record of John Brockett's marriage, or the name of the person whom he married, but, as in the first tax bill, he is mentioned as one person and in the first allotment of seats in the church at New Haven had one seat, and as we find that in 1646 a seat was assigned in the church to "Sister Brockett" it is evident that he found a wife between 1640 and 1646. It has been generally supposed that he was married in England before he came to this country, that his first son was born there, and that his wife followed him in 1644. We find, however, the tombstone of his first son (in the Montowese cemetery) states his death in 1720, aged 78 years, which would show that he was born in 1642. This, with the fact that nothing appears in the Colonial Records in regard to John Brockett (excepting his tax) from the middle of the year 1640 to the end of the year 1641, leads the writer to the opinion that he returned to England, spending a year or more there, during which time he married, and that his wife did not arrive here until 1644 or 1645. Among the many items in the records of New Haven Colony regardmg John Brockett we note the following: June 4, 1639. The name of John Brockett appears as a Signer of the Cov- enant for Civil Government. "Appointed to lay out the large square in nine equal sections." "Appointed to lay out forthwith the 'Neck of land,' ac- cording to the allotments." SKETCH OF JOHN BROCKETT. 2"] June, 164T.

General Courte ordered "That as John Brockett has spent much time and provided many things for the Soldiers, the Magistrates of New Haven allow him therefor, as they see cause." June, 1654. The General Courte appointed its proportion of Soldiers to co-operate with a fleet sent by Cromwell, against the hostile intentions of the Dutch on the Hudson River, and appointed John Brockett as Surgeon. June, 1654. John Brockett was appointed one of the Commission to settle the troubles with the Indians. This Commission was kind to the Indians, and John Brockett helped them to survey their land and fence it in, that the cattle and hogs should not spoil their corn. June, 1660. The General Courte appointed John Brockett one of a Com- mission to settle the differences between the Colony at Hartford and the New Haven Colony, as to boundary lines. From June, 1675, to June, 1676, the bloody war against the Conn. Troops called "King Phillip's War" raged. Six hundred of the Colonists were killed and the cost was over $1,000,000. During this war John Brock- ett was under appointment as Surgeon. John Brockett was Deputy to the General Courte of Conn, during the years 1671, 1678, 1680 to '82 and 1685. Year book of Colonial Wars, 1899- 1902. In C. S. Livermore's "Republic of New Haven" he states "That Gov- ernor Eaton proposed in court that an assize of bread should be estab- lished, to overcome the diminutive size of the baker's loaves, about which there was much murmuring, and enquired if any one had a book that de- scribed the usual sizing of bread. John Brockett said that he owned one, and was requested to lend it to the Governor. This was one of the first deliberate reversions to English example on record, as the English plan, enumerating three lawful kinds of bread was embodied in the Colonial Record." As the land bought by the Colony of New Haven extended several miles from the town of New Haven, the plan of forming a new town on the location now known as Wallingford was agi- tated early in 1669. At this time wolves in thousands infested the few settlements in that direction, killing the cattle, carrying oflf the 28 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. sheep and, by their unearthly howHngs at night, added horrors to the location. The Indians, who were very numerous, were only friendly as influenced by fear. In the autumn of 1669 John Brockett with about one hundred persons from New Haven removed there. These settlers appoint- ed "John Brockett, John Moss, Abraham Doolittle and Samuel Street to manage all plantation afifairs in ye said village." It was necessary to erect houses and to fortify them, to make preparations for the covering and feeding their cattle, and roads had to be built. It was pioneer work, but the settlers who had left the old world to escape despotism were ready for hardship. Authority was given by the General Courte to form a village and call it Wallingford. The same committee was instructed "to distribute the allotments of land, as shall best suit the condi- tions of the place and ye inhabitants thereof, and to procure some able and fit man to dispense the word of God among them." In the first allotment of land 38 plots were given to 38 families, each receiving either 12 acres or 8 acres according to the location. John Brockett received 12 acres, and his son, John, 8 acres. They found still greater trouble than New Haven had, in the matter of currency. Hoop poles were received by the New Haven merchants as cash, so we find that the raising of hoop poles was encouraged by the following enactment, "ordered that every planter should have, according to their rank, four, three or two, acres of the choice land upon the River called 'hopp ground' begin- ning at Pilgrims' Harbor. Four acres of this hopp land, upon Pilgrims' Harbor, on both sides of the river were granted to John Brockett thus showing that he was of the highest rank among the planters. When other settlers came they were not allowed to buy any land, until their application had been considered at a pub- lic town meeting and referred to a committee for investigation. If the committee, after careful examination, found the testimonials satisfactory, they recommended that a portion of land be allotted to the applicant. In the establishment of Wallingford we find adopted many prin- ciples and laws which greatly influenced the lives of the residents and their descendants, and. of course, afifected the descendants of SKETCH OF JOHN BROCKETT. 29 John Brockett. While such laws seem, at this day, unnecessary, they demonstrate that the early settlers reg'arded character as of more importance than money, and this led to the gathering in Wallingford of men of such sterling integrity and religious prin- ciples that for several generations their desscendants were greatly influenced thereby, and their moral tone was notably good. In this new setlement John Brockett at once became one of the leading men, and was called to fill many public offices, and, after its incorporation, for many years represented the town in the General Assembly. His house lot was "No. i at the extreme south end of the vil- lage 40 rods long and 20 rods wide, subsequently extended to Wharton's Brook." An Indian deed dated May 24, 1681, gave to John Brockett, John Moss, Abraham Doolittle and John Peck, land two miles in breadth east and west, and the whole length of said Wallingford bounds. Feb. 15, 1675 was observed as a day of fasting in Walling- ford, with reference to the organization of a church, and 13 set- tlers were designated (John Brockett being one of the number) who decided "that there be a church of Christ gathered to walk according to the Congregational way." John Brockett died in Wallingford, Conn., March 12, 1690, aged 80 years. His will, made nine days before his death, reads as follows : I, John Brockett, of the towne of Wallingford, being sound in body, yet having a composed, good understanding and memory, I do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament in manner following : I give to my eldest son, John Brockett, all my lands and housings that I have not given deeds of gift or now sold, and all such meadows. Also, I give to my grandchild, John Brockett, that lives with me, two oxen, ; furthermore give to my son, John, the one half of my movable estate. I give to my daughter, Silence Bradley, also a quarter part of my moveable estate. Out of the other quarter, I give to my son Samuel 5 pounds ster- ling. Also to my son Jabez, two oxen, cart and plow, ; also to my son Benjamin's two daughters 20 shillings each. To my daughter Mary Pennington 20 shillings. Also to John Payne (married x\bigail) 20 shil- lings. And in case there should not be enough in this quarter part mov- ables to pay my debts and funeral charges and these legacies, what wants must be taken out of the fore mentioned movable estate.

Second (Bcneration. 2 John Brockett, the eldest son of John ist, was born in New Haven in 1642, baptized Jan. 31, 1643. In Davis' History of Wallingford it is stated that he was born in England. His tombstone in the Montowese Cemetery states his death in 1720, aged 78 years, which would make his birth in 1642, when, from the official records, we find that his father was in New Haven, and the record of his baptism in New Haven, it would seem, that, in this respect, Davis' record was inaccurate. He was, however, educated in England and at Oxford, for a physician. He commenced practice in New Haven, but located at Muddy River, near North Haven, between New Haven and Wall- ingford, remaining there during his lifetime. He had a large and valuable medical library which at his death he gave to Yale College, for the use of the physicians in New Haven ; this became scattered so that no trace of it can now be found. He was a man of remarkable attainments for those days and the first permanently resident physician in New Haven Colony. He married Elizabeth Doolittle, daughter of Abraham Doolittle, who. SECOND GENERATION. 3 1 with John Brockett ist, was elected by the residents of Walling- ford to manage all the affairs of the town. Elizabeth was born April 12, 1652, died March, 1731, and was buried beside her husband in the Montowese Cemetery. In addition to his practice, Dr. John Brockett was a large land holder and carried on farming. He received from his father's estate, large quantities of land, and in the 3rd general division of land in 1680, which was determined by the number of persons in his family and the amount of estate on which he paid taxes. Dr. John received 24 acres, naming 4 persons, and £40, while his mother, Widow Brockett, received 20 acres, having 4 persons and £19. In the first allotment of lands in Wallingford he received 8 acres and in the allotment of 1689 he received an additional 44 acres. In 1 70 1 he was taxed in Wallingford on £87. He died Nov., 1720; all his property went to his widow Elizabeth, by will, which read as follows : Know all men by these presents, that I, John Brockett. of the town and county of New Haven, in the colony of Connecticut, in New England, being weak of body, but of sound mind and memory, not knowing how soon and how sudden my Great and Last change may come, do make and ordain this to be my last Will and Testament, which is as followeth : I give my soul to God, through Jesus Christ, my only Lord and Dear Redeemer, and my body to a Decent burial, according to the discretion of my Executor, hereafter named, in hope of a joyful Resurrection. And for that part of Estate, the Lord hath intrusted me with, not already disposed of, I dispose of as followeth: After my just debts and funeral expenses are paid ; namely, I give unto my Dear and Loving Wife Elizabeth Brockett all my moveable Estate — as Stock, household goods, brass, pewter, iron and wooden ware, bedding and furniture, Surveyor's Instruments, even all the personal Estate I shall die possessed of, to be at her sole disposal. And as for my fifth division Lott, if I should not live to sell the same, I give to my wife to sell for the answering my just debts so far as it may. My Will is, and I hereby nominate and appoint my Dear and Loving wife Elizabeth Brockett sole Executor of this my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all former Wills or Testaments made by me.

J., her husband was the only son of Ephraim Pennington who took the oath of Allegiance in 1643 ^"d died 1660, leaving widow, Mary, and only son. Her great grandson, Samuel, married Mary Sanford, and had a son, William S. Pennington, born 1757, who was Governor of New Jersey i8i3-'i5; he married Phebe Wheeler and had a son, William, born May 4th, 1796, who was Governor of New Jersey, i837-'43. Mary died in 1694, leaving two children, Ephraim and Judah Pennington. 7 Benjamin Brockett, son of John ist, was born in New Haven, Dec, 1648, and on the 24th March, 1669, married Elizabeth Barnes, daughter of Thomas Barnes, one of the signers of the New Haven Colony Covenant. She was born May 28, 1650, and survived her husband, marrying John Austin (as his second wife) Jany. 24, 1684. He was both cordwainer and farmer, accumulating a good deal of land, having purchased from Simon Tuttle in 1677 a part of the land which was originally owned by John Punderson ; and receiv- ing from his father, John Brockett, Sept. 27, 1680, in deed "to my well beloved son Benjamin," a tract of land in New Haven.

He was a public spirited man and, like his father, took much interest in the political affairs of the times. He was also a large Real Estate owner. In the Colonial Records frequent mention is made of his name. He was appointed Commissioner to determine what highways were needed in the Colony; was awarded 55 acres of land in the distribution of land. His name appears as one of the original proprietors at Wallingford and as owner of valuable "hopplands" at Pilgrims' Harbor. In 1 70 1 he was taxed on the Grand List at Wallingford on £82. Sept. 2^, 1680, his father, John Brockett, deeded land ''to his well beloved son, Samuel." March 27, 1712, he bought from his brother, John, land in Wallingford. He died in Wallingford Oct. 27, 1742.

John Hall. She was b. 1665 2nd died May i, 1735. Jabez was one of the early settlers at Wallingford. The boundary of this town was in its early history very extensive, although from trouble with the Indians the residents lived quite compactly together. In its bounds, but quite a distance to the north, was a swamp called Dogs Misery, from the fact that wild animals when hunted took refuge in this swamp and the dogs were generally killed in their attempts to reach them. As these lands became valuable a great contention arose among the owners and on March 16, 1696, we find that Jabez Brockett, with his brother, Samuel, and 22 others, joined in a petition to the town to sequester a portion of Dogs Misery for a public watering place, and that Ensign Royce be caused to make restitution of land claimed by him for the public welfare. This petition was granted and it was decided to throw open the land for a public highway and watering place. At the time his will was admitted to probate, July 3, 1770, it is recorded Vol. 11 pp. 93-4, that he died Nov. 6, 1769, and that since his death, his eldest son, James, and two younger sons, Caleb and Nathan, had died leaving no legal representatives other than the four now surviving children, viz : Andrew Brockett, Mary Henderson, Dorcas Robinson, and Deborah Marks.

On March 13, 1756, married Mary Pierpont, daughter of Joseph Pierpont* and Hannah Russell, and grand-daughter of Rev. James Pierpont, who was for 30 years pastor of the First Church in New Haven, Ct., and one of the founders of Yale College ; she was also a grand-daughter of Rev. Thomas Hooker, one of the founders of the Connecticut Colony, at Hartford. She was born Oct. 20, 1738; died June 21, 1773. In 1760 *It was Sarah Pierpont, a sister of Joseph, then in her thirteenth year, whom Jonathan Edwards describes in the following words, which he wrote upon a blank page of one of his books : "They say there is a young lady in New Haven who is beloved of that Great Being who made and rules the world, and that there are cer- tain seasons in which this Great Being, in some way or other, comes to her and fills her mind with exceeding sweet delight, and that she hardly cares for anything except to meditate on Him, that she expects to be received up where He is, to be raised up out of the world, and caught up into Heaven ; being assured that He loves her too well to let her remain at a distance from Him always. There she is to dwell with Him and to be ravished with His love and delight forever. "Therefore, if you present all the world before her, with the richest of its treasures, she disregards it, and cares not for it, and is unmindful of any path of affiiction. "She has a strange sweetness in her mind, and singular purity in her affections; is most conscientious and just in all her conduct, and you could not persuade her to do anything wrong and sinful, if you would give her all this world, lest she .should offend this Great Being. She is of a won- derful sweetness, calmness, and universal benevolence of mind, especially after this Great God has manifested himself to her mind. She will some- times go about from place to place, singing sw-eetly, and always seems to be full of joy and pleasure, and no one knows for what. She loves to be alone, walking in the fields and groves, and seems to have some one invis- ible always conversing with her." 42 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. Richard Brockett and Mary, his wife, were members of the Congregational Church in New Haven. In the "North Haven Annals," by the Historian, Sheldon B. Thorpe, it is recorded in regard to Military Service in the Revolu- tionary War, that "in 1779 Col. Russell issued an order to the offi- cers of the Alarm List and the Militia of New Haven ; on its back were endorsed the names of Richard Brockett, Ebenezer Brockett, and Isaiah Brockett. He was a man of great integrity of char- acter and "his word was as good as his bond." In the Conn. Colonial Records, Vol. 10, we find that in 1776 Richard Brockett dropped a 20-shilling bill in the fire, and on proving that it was accidental, the General Assembly ordered the amount to be made good to him. On Dec. 14, 1790, seventeen years after the death of his first wife, he married a widow, Jemima Jacobs, who survived him and died Sept. 7, 1830. He was buried in the Montowese Ceme- etry. His will, which was proved April 13, 1813: I, Richard Brockett, of North Haven, in the County of New Haven, in the State of Connecticut, do on this 13th day of April, 1813, make and ordain this my last Will and Testament. Imprimis my Will is that my just debts and funeral expenses be paid out of my moveable estates. Item. — I give to my wife, Jemima Brockett, one-half of my six-acre lot of land and one-half the building thereon, including what was given by bargain before our marriage ; also one-third of my lot of land lying east of Stephen Brockett's farm of land where he now lives, and bounded north on a highway and south on Dan Barnes land, said one-third to run through the middle of said lot of land from north to south. Also one-half of my pond and island salt meadow (so-called), except one acre called Sackett's meadow, also one-fourth of my Cove meadow, to use and improve during life. Item. — I give to my son, Joseph Brockett, one-third of my lot of land near John Barnes, bounded by Abel Brockett, his land, on the east by land above given to his mother-in-law ; on the west also one acre of salt meadow called Sackett's meadow, and also one-half of my Cove meadow, together with what I have given him by deed. Item. — I give to my son, Giles Brockett, all my lands and meadows not given above, wtih the building thereon, he paying to his sister, Mary Ives, the sum of 3£ los. lawful money of the State of Connecticut. Item. — I give to my son, Richard Brockett, all of my land and mead- ows, with the buildings thereon, the use and improvement of which is given to his mother-in-law during life, to be his. he paying to his sister, Mary Ives, the sum of 3£ ros. lawful money of the State of Connecticut.

Item. — I give to my daughter, Lydia Blakeslee, si£ which was advanced to her at her marriage. Item. — My Will is that if any moveables remain, after paying the debts and funeral expenses, that the said Joseph shall have double share of the same, and my other five children, viz : Mary, Giles, Lydia, Richard and share the rest equally among them. Lastly my Will and Testament is I nominate and appoint my son, Joseph Brockett, sole executor of this my last Will and Testament, hereby making void all former Wills and Testaments made by me, and if the aforesaid Giles and Richard neglect to pay the 7£ to their sister, Mary Ives, my executors shall pay it out of the use or rent of the land given to them. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and year above written. Children^. +130 Joseph, b. Jan. 17, 1757; m. Rebecca Tuttle. 131 Mary, b. March 13, 1759; m.

The Muster Rolls of Conn. Regiments in Service from 1755 — 1762 have been recently recovered, and are now in the State Library at Hartford, Ct. In them we find that between Sept. i and 17, 1755, Ebenezer and Job Brockett enlisted in the Co. of Capt. Eldad Lewis, of Southington, with 34 men from Waterbury, Ct. In 1779, Col. Russell issued an order to the Officers of the Alarm List and the Militia in the Parish of New Haven ; on the FOURTH GENERATION. 47 back of this order was endorsed the names of Richard, Ebenezer and Isaiah Brockett.

Vol. 7 p. 220, Isaac, with Isaiah, Munson, John, Enos and Jacob Brockett, signed an agreement as Volunteers in Benjamin Trumbull's Co., and enlisted for 3 months ; Original Agreement is in possession of Jos.

His Will was recorded July 24, 1790, dated June 9, 1790, and says: "I give Eunice, my wife, my house and barn, with land ; my son, Levi, south Lot ; my son Isaac, one-half wood land ; my sons Samuel and Abraham and my daughter Elizabeth Stebbins, each two sheep ; my two daughters Eunice and Obedience, all the household furniture given to their mother when she has done with it."

He married Mary Turhand, daughter of Henry Turhand, of WalHngford, Feb. 12, 1728. She died May 11, 1777, aged 64 48 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. years. Titus was one of the most active Episcopalians in the place, in 1757, and was one of the four largest contributors toward the 2d Episcopal church edifice, in 1762. He was at one time a member of the famous Parson Andrews church, who was so violent a Tory that he had to flee to Nova Scotia for safety. Parties had been formed for and against the British Govern- ment. In Wallingford the feeling ran high and Titus sided with the Tories. In Davis' History of Wallingford, we find that Titus died of smallpox July 29, 1773 ; at the time of his funeral the Whigs would not allow him to be buried with other members of the family, but compelled Turhand, Kirtland and two others, to have the grave dug on a wet, spongy place directly under the east fence of the burying ground, the water immediately filled the grave though in mid-summer ; it was therefore necessary to sink the coffin with two rails till the earth could be returned. For a long time these rails remained standing up out of the grave and did not decay ; some of the family supposed that the timber was supernaturally preserved as a testimony against the Whigs. In his will, dated Feb. 8, 1770, he gives a portion of his property to the Church of England, also to his wife, Mary, his nephew, Zuar, and his niece, Rachel, wife of Constant Kirtland.

He had a negro boy named FOURTH GENERATION. 49 Esau, as slavery was a common custom in Connecticut with well- to-do people of that date. Immediately after the Revolution a statute was made declar- ing that no negro or mulatto child born in this State after March I, 1748, should be held in servitude, after he or she should arrive at the age of 25 years.

Titus was made executor, "I give to my wife Elizabeth the home- stead until my youngest son is of age, and then to have one-third, after my daughter, by my first wife, has what I shall by this Will give her. I give to my daughter Rachel all the movable estate which her mother brought, also 135 pounds sterling which I received for land that came in right of her mother. I give and bequeath to my three children, Rachel, Esther and Ruth, and the child expected, if a daughter and she should live, to them their heirs, all my real estate, and the remainder of my personal property, to be equally divided; and in case the child now unborn should be a son, then to have a double portion of all my estate, except that given to Rachel, his estate invoiced at £4478 2s. 6p."

On a subsequent page, "Moses Brockett was appointed as Corporal Dec. 24, 1776, in the 5th Co. of the Third Regiment, and after- ward became a prisoner of war." On another page, that Moses Brockett was in the 5th Regi- ment under Col. Lewis DuBois, and still later that Moses was a member of the 2d Regiment of Artillery, under Col.

Isaiah was a Corporal in the Revolutionary War; but the records of the Town of North Haven, from 1786 down to 1838, with all the marriages, deaths, &c., were burned, a loss that never can be replaced. According to Conn. Historical Society Col. Vol. 7, p. 220, Isaiah, with Isaac, Munson, John, Enos and Jacob Brockett, signed an agreement as Volunteers in Benjamin Trumbull's Co., and enlisted for three months. This original document is in pos- session of Jas. Torry. A six-dollar bill "Continental Currency," which was paid him for his services after the battle of Long Island, is now owned by Chas. A. Brockett, of Kansas City, Mo. In an account given by Isaiah's great grandson Eli J. Brockett, he says, "Although a small boy, I can remember him and remember hearing my father tell many times of his being with Washington at the battle of Long Island." "On the retreat to New York Isaiah was taken sick with dysentery, fell out and crawled into a barn or shed, as he could go no further. One of his comrades helped him so that he got to New York with the rest ; getting no better, word was sent to North Haven, and one of his neighbors rode on horseback to New York, put grandpa on the horse, the neighbor leading the horse all the way; as he was not able to return to the army, he hired a man to go in his place."

His mother was a grandaughter of Rev. James Pierpont, the successor of Rev. John Davenport, as pastor of the First Church in New Haven, and who for 30 years ministered there faithfully, and for whom there is a memorial tablet in the church, with date of birth and death and this inscription: "His gracious gifts and fervent piety, persuasive, elegant and winning manners were de- voutly spent in the service of his Lord and Master." He was one of the founders of Yale College. Its settlement in New Haven was but a fulfillment of one of his plans. May 8, 1772, Mr. Brockett married Rebecca, daughter of Joel Tuttle, of East Haven. She was born Dec. 20, 1756, and died Sept 14, 1835. Mr. Brockett was a man of excellent character and greatly esteemed in the community for his integrity and public spirit. He was administrator on the will of Capt. Gideon Todd, and on other Estates. From 1799 to 1806 he represented his town in the General Assembly of Conn. Early in life he showed a strong interest in military affairs. In the "Record of Conn. Men in the Revolution," in the State Library at Hartford, in Vol. of Manuscripts, pp. 547-8, his name appears as in Lieut. Col. Sabin's regiment. He was afterward a captain in the Conn, militia. He became a forehanded farmer and in his later years also owned a shoe manufactory. He and his wife are members of Dr. Trumbull's Church. In his will, after giving his dwelling and personal property to his wife and daughter, he gave his factory and over fifty acres of land adjoining to his two sons. Children^. 274 Roxanna, b.

' 63 132 Giles Brockett,^ ( Richard,^ Moses,^ Johnr,'^), son of Richard and Mary (Pierpont) Brockett, was born in North Haven, April 30, 1761 ; died in Waterbury, June 2, 1842. His modier was a direct descendant of the Rev. James Pierpont, who was descended from Robert de Pierpont, Knight, who went from Normandy to England with William the Conqueror in A. D. 1066. Although but a youth Giles served in the Revolutionary War for three years, enlisting in 1778 with the Conn. Troop under Col. Mead. We find his name on the Pension List in 1832. At the close of the war he decided to be a sailor, but after one or two voyages to the West Indies, returned to North Haven and became a farmer. He married Nov. 17, 1785, Sarah Smith, daughter of Capt. Stephen Smith, of New Haven, and in 1803 removed to Water- bury. She was born July 10, 1768, and died Nov. 27, 1841. Mr. and Mrs. Brockett were members of the First Congregational Church, where he became a deacon. He was deputy to the Gen- eral Court in 1804 and was representative in the Conn. Legisla- ture in 1809, and a member of the Masonic Lodge. As a farmer he lived at East Farms ; afterwards bought a farm on the site which is now known as Dublin Street. They were persons of a happy temperament, lovely, generous, and beloved by their family and esteemed as citizens. Children^. -f-277 Polly, b. Dec. 21, 1786; m. Samuel M. Hill. -j-278 Sarah, b.

The following incident in his early life was furnished by his grandson. In early life Moses T. was a farmer. While at work one day on his farm the Minister of the Presbyterian Church called upon him, and asked him to mow a meadow lot for him adjoining his house ; he refused as he was fully engaged at the time, much to the disappointment of the minister, who asked Mr. Brockett if he would mow his meadow one year from that date. Mr. Brock- ett said he would ; the date proved to be on Sunday ; early in the morning Mr. Brockett went to the parson's meadow and com- menced cutting the hay, and directly under the parson's window started to sharpen his scythe ; up went the window and out came the parson's head, saying, "what are you doing there?" Back came the answer, "Mowing your hay according to contract ;" "Well ; well !" says the parson, "I will pay you for the day's work but stop now and come to-morrow." "I can not," said Mr. Brockett, "as I am engaged for that time." Children^ by First Wife. 291 Mary, b. Jan. 29, 1804; m. Chas. Morris, of New Haven. 292 Emmeline, b. April 4, 1806; m.

He married ist, Hannah Jacobs, who died Feby. 7, 1802; had 8 children; married 2d, Eunice Lucy (Stiles) Tuttle; her mother was wife of Rev. Isaac Stiles (half brother to Mr. Ezra Stiles, President of Yale College.) She was a widow, who was born July 12, 1751; she was married ist, to John Tuttle; 2d, to Enos Brockett June 19, 1803. Enos married 3d, Widow Mansfield. 05 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. Enos was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, being mustered out Feb. I7> "^lyy- At one period of the war, finding circumstances such as to prevent his enlistment, he hired a substitute and sent him to the front. Tradition maintains this recruit was killed in one of the engagements around New York. During Tryon's Invasion of New Haven, 1779, Enos recovered the body of Jacob Thorpe, placed it across his horse, and having received per- mission, took it home to North Haven, Conn. Enos died in 1828. His will, made in 1824, gives a portion of his estate to his beloved wife Lucy, who was his second wife ; this throws doubt on his having married a third time. If he married after 1824 he would naturally have changed his will. The widow Mansfield is supposed to refer to one of the sisters of his wife, as one, Mary, married Richard Mansfield ; the other, Keziah, married Jesse Mansfield. In this event the term Lucy in the will could not refer to the third wife. He also served in the War of 1812. His will gives his estate "To my beloved wife Lucy, my sons Thos., Jarius, Justus, Levi, and three daughters, Hannah Butler, Sally Darrow and Patty Norton." Children^. +296 Jarius, b.

He married Hannah Clark, Jan. 4, 1773, who died Dec. 19, 1788. Married 2d, Esther Wightman, Dec. 25, 1789. Married 3rd, Esther Street, (daughter of Glover Street.) who was born Feb. 24, 1757; died April 28, 1827. They married on Jan. 5, 1791. FIFTH GENERATION. 73 He was a man of great independence in thought and action. As early as the Revolutionary War he had taken sides with the patriot cause and shown the courage of his convictions by his enlistment in the army to fight its battles. In the matter of religion he was the second person in Southing- ton to withdraw his membership from the Congregational Society and join the Episcopal Church as the following record will show : "Cheshire, Feb. 5, 1785. This is to certify whom it may concern, that Mr. Joel Brockett, of Southington, declared himself a professor of the Church of England in my care on the 15th dav of October last. TEST. SAMUEL ANDREWS, Missionary at Wald." This coming so soon after the bitterness of feeling against all English institutions and sympathies, marks a strong character, since the conclusion is inevitable that he must have acted from conscientious motives. In politics he seems to have been equally independent for Timlow's "Sketches of Southington" is the author- ity for the statement that he was one of the early followers of Jef- ferson, against Adams, and that he suffered greatly in social posi- tion in consequence. We quote, "It is said that road masters would plow up the ground in front of the lands of these men, and, so far as possible, leave dirt and stones to harass them. The water would sometimes be dammed up before their houses, but great pains would be taken to accommodate the politically orthodox." — Of the business career of Joel Brockett the record in history is brief. — "The tavern at Plantsville, situated at the junction of the roads leading from Farmington to Waterbury and from Bristol to New Haven, was kept by Joel Brockett." His widow apparent- ly retained the ownership of the tavern after she married Daniel Frisbie, and later it came into possession of his son Alpheus Brockett. Child^ by First Wife. 327 Alpheus, b.

He married Abigail Johnson, Jan. 31, 1780, who was born Dec. 23, 1753, and died Oct. 30, 1813. Zenas lived on Brockett Hill near Pearl Lake, Waterbury, Conn., where he purchased a large tract of land from the Indians, and was a farmer by occupation ; was well known and highly re- spected, a man of sterling integrity, upright and true in all his dealings and beloved by all who knew him. He would transact no business on Sunday. He gave the land for a cemetery, known as Brockett Cemetery, where his body was laid to rest. Zenas Brockett, with David Frost and Isaac Terrell, were the first Baptists in the town of Waterbury. "By them, and others, meetings were started and held at least once a month in W^aterbury, 12 miles from their homes; the journey being performed on foot. These meetings were thus maintained for 12 years until in 1803, the Waterbury Baptist Church was organized. "These men were of tried integrity and purity of Christian life and character, and their memory should be honored as leaders of the infant church. Poor in worldly wealth, but rich in Christian grace.* Children^. -I-341 Chloe, b. July 15, 1781 ; m. Rev. Samuel Potter. 342 Anna, b. June 3, 1783; d. March 4, 1854; m.

In this town there is a high hill, formerly known as Pike's Hill, from the summit of which may be had a magnificent view, and on this hill was located the first cemetery. When Rachel Brockett died Oct. 17, 1776, she was buried in this cemetery and her tombstone bears the earliest date of any now to be found there. The stone is inscribed in the quaint style of the i8th century with a Death's head staring from the rounded top, and queer borders and scrollwork intermingling and relieving the inscriptions. It reads as follows : "In memory of Rachel Brockett, who died Oct. ye 17th, 1776, in ye 22nd year of her age." "While you are blooming, young and spry, Perhaps you think you ne'er will die; But here's a witness of the truth. That you may die while in your youth." This old cemetery has a bit of a legend connected with it, touching on the supernatural. At the top of the hill was once a house in which lived an old man named Horton. As he drew near the end of life he expressed a strong antipathy to being buried in the old cemetery in Pike's hill. "If you bury me in that lonely place," he said repeatedly, "I will haunt you." But they buried him there, and sure enough people having occasion to pass through the old road near by were startled by seeing an apparition among the graves; and as this was seen by a number of different people at different times, the place came to be known as the haunted grave yard, and was given a wide berth after nightfall. No fence surrounds this almost forgotten cemetery. No care is taken of it. Neglected, ignored, it lies among tangled brushwood in the forest stillness, where only the birds of the air and the locust and cricket sing requiems for the repose of the dead. 194 Amos Brockett^ (Samuel,'^ Samuel} Samuel} John^), son of Samuel and Ruth (Bradley) Brockett, was born at Wolcott, 76 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY.

On the tombstone at Montowese, it says : "Benja- min, born 1781, died Feby. 16, 1834; and Mabel, his wife, born 1777, and died Dec. 18, 1853 ; Alonzo, his son, born 1808, died Feby. i, 1830." In the History of New Haven, by John L. Rickey, we find that Benjamin had a son Lucius, born Dec. 6, 1817; died Oct. 29, 1891. 78 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. Benjamin was appointed as executor of his father's will June 6, 1804, and residuary legatee. This Benjamin seems to have been a great favorite with his father as he left nearly all his property to him. Benjamin, the grandfather, was in" the Revolutionary War and carried a powder horn bearing the inscription, "Benjamin Brock- ett, North Haven. The ox from which the horn was taken was killed and eaten in the Rev. War." Benjamin's will, dated Nov. 28, 1833, gives to his wife, Mabel, one-third of his property outright and the life use of another one- third, and one-third to his son Lucius ; and appoints Ebenezer Pierpont as executor.

Y., Feb. 7, 1802, and died March i. 1872. In the spring of 1820 he accompanied his father upon his emigration SIXTH GENERATION. 85 to Ohio, and resided at Farmington, where he became a successful farmer. Alanson was an ardent abolitionist, a man of great force of char- acter, and was never turned from the path of duty by any circum- stance of personal expediency. He was an earnest worker on the famous "underground railroad" by which so many slaves were aided in securing their freedom ; a smoke house near his residence was regarded as a "station" of the historical railroad above men- tioned. The last party of slave owners that visited that section in pursuit of slaves stopped all night at a hotel near by, when their slaves were in concealment in the smoke house. During the night they were secreted in a swamp which could only be reached by a concealed path impossible for a party not acquainted to find. The presence of these slave owners exasperated the people, and during the night the citizens, including Mr. Brockett, cut off the manes and tails of their six horses, and with tar pasted the following notice upon the horses : "Ye hunters of negroes beware — We've tar and we've feathers to spare ; And if you don't clear out, A coat of a Tory you'll wear." * He married Anna M. Moffet, Jan. 12, 1826, who was born Feb. 17, 1809, and had 14 children. He married second, Almira Le Griffith, March 25, 1866; she was born April 8, 1801. Children"^ by First Wife. +435 Alonzo, b.

From his early childhood he seemed absent-minded. It is re- lated that when a boy one day his father sent him across the field near his house to put up the bars. He started in a straight line for the place, with his head down, as if in deep thought. In the middle of the field stood a large tree. His father, looking out of the window, saw that he was in the line of the tree, and soon struck his head against it. He stopped, looked at the tree, walked around it, and again, with his head down, went straight on and put up the bars.

His early years were passed in his native town, where his father was a forehanded farmer. As a boy he was of a studious turn, fond of reading and a favorite of Rev. Benjamin Trumbull, D. D., the historian of Connecticut, and pas- tor of the Congregational Church at North Haven. The vener- able doctor helped him in his studies, loaned him books and in var- ious ways encouraged his mental development. In 1810 a Bap- tist preacher, Rev. Joshua Bradley, came to North Haven and attracted crowds to hear him. Among those who were converted under his preaching were Pierpont Brockett, and his brother Jesse, who were baptized and formed the nucleus of a Baptist church. The former, having found peace himself, was earnestly desirous of leading others to the Saviour, and began early to establish meetings in the surrounding districts. Dr. Trumbull felt grieved that his "favorite boy," as he called him, should attempt to hold meetings withotit his authority, and at first rebuked him strongly, but finding that he could not silence him, ceased his opposition. In 18 1 2, Mr. Brockett, as a loyal citizen, felt called upon to take up arms for the defense of his country, and enlisted under Com- mander Abraham Hubbard ; was first made ensign, and ordered to Groton and New London, where he served with the rank of lieu- tenant. When the war was over he felt that God had called him to enter upon the work of the ministry, and commenced a course of theological study under Rev. Jeremiah Chaplin, D. D., who be- came the president of Waterville College ; but at that time had a REV. PIERPONT BROCKETT. SIXTH GENERATION, QT class of theological students at Danvers, Mass. Two of his class- mates, Coleman and Wheelock, were among the first missionaries sent from this country to Burmah. On Jan. 21, 1819, he was ordained and became pastor of the Baptist Church in Canton, Conn., but in the autumn of 1822 yielded to the urgent request of his friends in the ministry to became a State missionary for Con- necticut, under the direction of the "Connecticut Baptist Conven- tion ;" his love for pastoral work, however, led him at the end of the year to resign this work and accept the pastorate at Clinton, Conn., where his labors were blessed of God for five years. In 1828, he was called to the pastorate of the Baptist Church in Essex, Conn., where he remained for seven years, during which time there were large accessions of members, and the church be- came strong in gifts and graces. For the next few years at the request of the State Convention he took new and small churches to develop them and bring them into stronger condition. In 1835 he became pastor of the Agawam Church in West Spring- field, Mass, and in 1838, of the Church in North Stonington, Conn., remaining there three years. In 1840 he accepted the pastorate of the First Church in Say- brook, Conn., (now Winthrop;) in 1843 at Lyme, Conn.; in 1845 at Colchester, Conn., where for four years he was eminently suc- cessful in building up a strong united church. In 1849, '" order to be near his children, he accepted the pastorate of the Wethers- field Baptist Church and continued with them until 1862, with the exception of three years 1854- 1857, when his duties as Chaplain of the Connecticut State prison required his whole time. During his active ministry of 41 years he had preached more than 6,300 sermons aside from addresses, lectures, &c. He was possessed of a warm heart, a sympathetic nature and greatly beloved as a pastor, a counsellor and a friend. He passed to his heavenly home April 7, 1868. Shortly after his ordination, Sept. 22, 1819, he married Miss Sarah Sage, daughter of Col. Josiah Sage, of Upper Middletown, Conn. She was born Sept. 13, 1795, and re- ceived an excellent education. She was baptized by Rev. Freder- ick Wightman in 18 18, and entered heartily into the work of 92 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY, her husband, always his faithful helper, and was the means under God of winning many to righteousness. She survived her hus- band and died at the residence of her son in East Orange, N, J,, Oct. II, 1882, aged 87 years. Children.^ -(-485 Linus Pierpont, b. Oct. 16, 1820; m.

His heart was warm and loving towards all men and in return all men loved him.. His life was made up of kind deeds and noble examples. He was among the very first to espouse the cause of the black man in chains. He was an intimate friend of Gerrit Smith, Fred.

He was also especially interested in the great needs of temperance reform. He was an active member of the Baptist Church for many years until the refusal of his church to take the stand upon the slavery question which he thought it ought to take.

His life was one of wide usefulness in church work, in the Washington Avenue and Emmanuel Baptist Churches, of Brooklyn ; especially taking an interest in the cause of Missions ; in fact few laymen were ever better acquainted with the history, in detail, of Foreign Missionary work, not only in his own denomi- LINUS P.

Jan. 31, 1854. 489 Edward Judson Brockett'^ (Pierpont,^ Joseph,^ Richard* Moses,^ John,^ John^), son of Rev. Pierpont and Sarah (Sage) Brockett, was born in Essex, Conn., March 7, 1833. Mr. Brockett was educated at Bacon Academy, Colchester, Conn., at that time one of the leading institutions of learning in New England. At the close of his course at Bacon Academy he entered a publishing house in Hartford, Conn., where he made the acquaintance of many distinguished authors and literary persons. While in Hart- ford he published, at his own expense, a volume of poems, by Mrs. Lydia H. Sigourney ; a volume of poems by Rev. Arthur Cleve- land Coxe, afterward Bishop of Western New York ; a volume on the "Formation of Character," by Rev. Thomas M. Clark, after- ward Bishop of Rhode Island ; and a volume entitled "Heroes and Martyrs of the Missionary Enterprise," by Rev. Lucius E. Smith, D. D., of Boston. In the fall of 1856 he was called to New York to take charge of the subscription book business of Messrs. Mason Brothers, where he made the acquaintance (which ripened into a long friendship), of Benson J. Lossing, the historian and author of "The Field Book of the Revolution ;" also of James Parton, whose "Life of Aaron Burr," gave him such great celebrity, and "Fanny Fern" (a sister of N. P. Willis), whose "Fern Leaves" had a sale then rarely equalled by any American book. In such associations Mr. Brockett acquired the literary tastes that, later in life, led him to engage in extensive historical research, and finally to the preparing of the Brockett Genealogy, which to him was a labor of love. In 1858 he entered the employ of Battelle & Renwick, who v-ere engaged in the manufacturing of white lead and the importing of chemicals, as bookkeeper and confidential clerk. In his connection with that firm he was 138 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. assigned to positions of financial responsibility and trust, was elected treasurer of, and director in, various corporations in which that firm was interested. He was also appointed as executor and trustee of several estates. In 1883 he became a member of the firm, and on its incorporation became its vice-president and treas- urer. When he first came to New York he resided in Brooklyn, uniting with the Hanson Place Baptist Church, in which he was an active worker for twelve years. On the 7th of October, 1862, Mr. Brockett was married to Mary Frances Gault, daughter of George Gault* and Elisabeth (Biglow) Gault, of Brooklyn. Mrs. Brockett is a woman of fine presence, excellent education, great vivacity of temperament, a profound Bible student, devoting much of her time to missionary and church work, ever seeking to make her home, "The Towers," located on Prospect Street (one of the finest avenues of the Oranges) an attractive resort for Christian workers. In 1869 Mr. Brockett removed to East Orange, N. J., uniting with the North Orange Baptist Church, where he was at once elected treasurer; in 1880 was elected one of the trustees, and for many years has been president of the Board. In 1881 he was ordained as a Deacon, and active in the Sunday School. As the son of a Baptist minister, he was well informed in regard to all the interests of his denomination and his counsel much sought for outside of his own church, in State and National organiza- tions. For many years he has been a member of the Executive *"Deacon George Gault was born in Bow, N. H., December 8, 1803 ; married September 4, 1831, to Elizabeth Biglow, at Springfield, Vt. ; moved in 1828 to Brooklyn; was baptized in 1831, uniting with the First Baptist Church. He was one of the constituent members of the Pierre- pont street, the Atlantic street, and Hanson place churches, and contrib- uted to the erection of every Baptist church built in Brooklyn previous to his removal to Orange, in 1864. He was for very many years one of the board of managers of the American and Foreign Bible Society, one of the original trustees of Home for Baptist Ministers, successively deacon in the Pierrepont street, Atlantic street, and Hanson place churches in Brooklyn ; he was also elected deacon in the North Orange church soon after his removal to Orange. As one of the early residents of Brooklyn, he was identified with many of its early public enterprises. His life was of so long duration that he witnessed and took an interest in almost all the discoveries and inventions of the nineteenth century ; was a guest at the banquet given by Cyrus W. Field, at the laying of the first cable, and illuminated his house throughout on that occasion." — N. Y. Examiner. SEVENTH GENERATION.

He has given himself and his time largely to the work of the denomination to which he belongs, while as a citizen he has not been unmindful of the various philanthropic institutions of the Oranges. In politics he is a staunch Repub- lican, but has steadily refused any public offices, although repeat- edly urged to accept. While of a quiet and retiring disposition, he has a sympathetic nature, that leads many, who are in trouble, to come to him for advice and comfort. Children'^. "JTZ George Pierpont, b.

Thomas and his brother Justus F., Hved at Muddy River, and kept hotel for several years, and then sold out his interest to Justus F., as his wife inherited a house and property at Montowese. Thomas lived in Wethersfield for three years ; then, in 1856, moved to Davenport, la., where his brother Elam Enos had been living for about three years ; they all belonged to the Episcopal Church. Thomas' wife was a good singer, and Thomas was good at the organ, so the rector was pleased. In 1856 Bishop Lee, of Massachusetts, came to Davenport, la., and was glad to meet any one from New Haven, Conn., and any one that was a Brockett, as his Reverence claimed relationship.

In 1864 he purchased a home in Canton, Conn., where he lived a quiet, useful and happy life, ever ready to do for any one in need, generous to a fault, if such a thing is possible. He was truly beloved by all who knew him, never speaking ill of any one, or crossly to any one. His wife survived him and is living with her daughters. Politically he was a staunch Republican, but would never take office of any kind. He was of a retiring and unassuming nature, not caring for public honor, but found his greatest comfort in his home life, and in ministering to the happiness of others.

When he was ten years of age his father moved to Bristol. In 1842 Mr. Brockett went to IlHnois intending to make his residence there, but suffered so much from chills and fever that at the end of two years he returned to Bristol and remained there until his death, Sept. 26, 1882. March 24, 1844, he married Marriett Bradley, daughter of Timothy Brad- ley, of Bristol. From the Bristol papers we make a few brief ex- tracts : "Mr. Brockett held many ofifices of trust and was appointed to many positions of responsibility in the town and filled them with credit to himself and to the acceptance of the people. "For several years, at the time of the War, he was first Select- man ; for twelve years was the Assessor. He administered on estates of many persons, some involving great responsibility ; was a director in the Savings and National Banks from the date of their organization. During the last six years of his life he held the office of Judge of Probate. "Judge Brockett was a man of thoroughly upright character and enjoyed the respect and confidence of all who knew him. He had occupied the position of Judge of Probate for a number of years and acquired a reputation for strict honesty, competent judgment and careful methods of which any public officer might well feel proud. In politics he was an old time Democrat. The cause of his death was typhoid fever." "This beloved and exemplary Christian man died Sept. 26, 1882, aged 62 years. He united with the Baptist Church in Bristol at the age of 22 years ; was early chosen one of its deacons and was a valuable member of the church in all matters pertaining to its spiritual and temporal interests. He was a man of sound mind, quick to discern and of most excellent ability to execute what per- tained to the welfare of the church. He was a wise counsellor and his opinions and advice were much sought after." "The Brockett mxonument, lately placed in the West cemetery, is one of the most beautiful memorials ever furnished by the New England Granite Works. The pedestal is about 7 feet by 4 feet and 6 feet in height, with a raised tablet bearing the name "Brock- 148 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. ett" in raised and polished letters. The crowning beauty of the work, however, is a seated statue, of life size, representing Faith holding in the hand a small cross, beautifully executed in Carrara marble of unusual purity and fineness from the model of Carl Con- rads and is one of his most successful works. The refined grace of attitude and beauty of expression with the air of dignity and repose pervading the statue form a representation of Christian faith needing no interpretation."

He married Celestia Jane Plumb, who was born in 1825, and died March 27, 1878. He composed many stan- zas which were published ; one from the poem he composed at his mother's death, was as follows : "I think how in childhood I knelt by your side, While you spoke of the Saviour who for me had died ; And bade me rely on His promise alone, That is changeless and sure as Eternity's throne." 575 George Brockett'^ (Alpheus,^ Joel^ Samuel,'^ Samuel,^ Sam- uel^ John^), son of Alpheus and Mary (Langdon) Brockett, was born at Plantsville, Conn., Nov. 30, 1827, and died at Laporte, Ind., May 28, 1867.

His grandparents (Langdon) took him to their home, but were induced to give him up to Mr. Ferdinand Roberts and his wife Chloe, of Bristol, Conn. They had just lost an infant child, and while they SEVENTH GENERATION.

"He was a man of unusual literary ability ; he wrote with remarkable facility and during the later years of his life largely for the press, editing one department in the Lockport Journal. In earlier }'ears he was a pronounced anti-slavery man, and spoke and wrote against slavery when to do so was not only a reproach, but a dangerous act. In the death of Prof. George L. Brockett this community loses a man whose innate qualities and education rendered him the peer of the most amiable and cultivated, while his private life and Christian character was above reproach."* 615 Harriet M.

He received a common school edu- cation at the "North Hill District" school during the winter months, the balance of his early days being fully occupied with helping his father with the farm work. August 9, 1862, when a little over seventeen years old, he enlisted in Company K, 15th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, to serve for three years, under EIGHTH GENERATION. I75 Captain Henry Stiles. His regiment saw considerable hard ser- vice during the three years, participating in the battle of Freder- icksburg, Siege of Suffolk, and numerous smaller skirmishes and raids on the enemy. The regiment was mustered out of service at New Berne, N. C, June 27, 1865, shortly after General Lee's sur- render, and the following month they were transferred to their homes in the North, where the young veteran received his honor- able discharge with the well-earned reputation of having been a good soldier. The next day after reaching home saw him again nard at work on the farm and for twenty-five years he pursued this vocation with such intelligent effort that he accumulated con- siderable means. In addition to his farming enterprise he built up a lucrative business in native lumber, having established as early as 1884 a small manufactory. In 1890 he abandoned farm- ing, purchased property in Fair Haven, built a new home and a large saw mill and devoted his entire time and energy to the lum- ber business. In 1898 he retired from active business, turning the lumber interests over to his eldest son, since which time he has contented himself with looking after his property interests, espe- cially his shore property on Branford Harbor, known as "Brock- ett's Point," one of the beauty spots on the Connecticut shore, where he has a number of cottages and keeps his pleasure boat. He married, March 30, 1869, Grace Caroline Clarke, of North- ford, Conn. He is a member of Admiral Foote Post, Grand Army of the Republic, of New Haven, Conn., and frequently attends the encampments in different parts of the country. Children^. 4-948 Walter D., b.

Mr. Brockett received a good education until he was seventeen years of age, when, at the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in Company K of the 15th Regiment Connecticut Infantry Volunteers, which was afterwards attached to General Burnside's division of the Army of the Potomac, and participated in many engagements, notably the Battle of Fredericksburg, Va., Kinston, Plymouth, and Little Washington, North Carolina. At the close of the war he was discharged from service with his regiment, June 27, 1865, at New Berne, N. C, and returned with the regiment to New Haven, Conn. Soon after this he engaged in the hydraulic cement busi- ness at Pittsburg, Pa., remaining there until 1871, when he re- moved to Woodbridge, Conn., where, as the head of the firm of Brockett & Newton, he operated the William A. Clark Match Works (the oldest match factory in the United States). In 1873 he removed to Kansas City, Mo., where he organized the C. A. Brockett Cement Co., of which he has been president for many years. He is also president of the Kansas City & Fort Scott Cement Co. He has been a member of the Commercial Club, and the Manufacturers Association from their organization. He is a member of the Missouri Society Sons of the Revolution, a mem- ber of the Grand Army of the Republic, and a Knight Templar. In politics he is a Republican, and in religion an Episcopalian.

Thomas Hooker, the real founder of the Colony of Connecticut, in 1633, from England on account of their Puritan principles, and settled in Cambridge, Mass. Mr. Thomas Judd was one of the party that took the long tramp from Cambridge, Mass., to that portion of the Connecticut Valley now known as Hartford, where Hooker established his Church and became the leader and moving spirit in the new Colony. Mr. Benjamin F. Judd was the son of Rev. Truman O. Judd (a Baptist minister of North Haven, Conn.,) and is now of the firm of D. B. Judd & Co., extensive dealers in lumber and coal, at Bristol, Conn. Mrs. Judd is a lady of charming personality and greatly beloved by all who know her. Her only son, who died when less than five years of age, was a child of rare beauty, and his death so deeply aflfected the mother as to develop a won- derful tenderness of feeling and sympathy for others, which wins all hearts.

Having descended from a long line of families active in Baptist Churches, she early identified herself with the Baptist Church in Bristol, where she still resides. She was one of the first of the present generation to gather information in regard to the Brock- ett family, and the editor of this volume desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to her for many helpful suggestions from her accu- mulated researches, which she kindly placed at his disposal. On June 10, 1896, she was married to Mr. Julian R. Holley, one of the prominent citizens of Bristol. He was born in Mansfield, Conn., May 16, 1855, but for the last twenty-five years has been a resident of Bristol, Conn., and identified with many of its inter- ests. He is a director in the Bristol National Bank, in the Bristol Manufacturing Co., and of the Bristol Water Co. ; also vice-presi- dent of the Bristol Trunk Hardware Co., secretary and treasurer of the Bristol Brass Co., and the American Silver Co.

A history of the Brockett family in America would hardly be complete if it did not make more mention than a genealogical record of Mrs. Ella Wells, whose interest in her ancestry has been a marked feature of her life, and whose collection of interesting family heirlooms has been an education among the many who have been accorded the pleasure of seeing them. Mrs. Wells has gath- ered much information regarding the family, dating from its earl- iest known sources, although her interest has also led her into investigation of all her lines of ancestry. As a Daughter of the American Revolution she has proved up eight lines of descent from soldiers of the Revolutionary War. It is her custom to occasionally hold a reception for the exhibit of the family possessions that have descended to her, and these have attracted wide attention beyond her own city. Beautiful old mahogany furniture, and table silver with a crest, swords of two wars, fire-arms of olden time, manuscripts, jewelry, wearing ap- parel, books, china, glass and earthenware ; indeed through all the range of home belongings these articles have been preserved with loving care to show to this generation the furnishings of an old time home. Perhaps the most wonderful among all these interesting things is a little box made of a cherry pit, carved, and with a little ivory stopper, in which were twelve tiny silver spoons, showing under EIGHTH GENERATION. 195 a magnifying glass that they are really spoons and not merely flat pieces of silver shaped like a spoon. 842 Augusta E.

After clerking and teaching school for a few years, he established a grocery and drug business at Dolgeville, where he has since resided. Mr. Brockett's ancestors for several gener- ations have been located at Brockett's Bridge, and identified with the welfare of Herkimer County.

Y., May 10, 1861. On June 28, 1882, she married Hans Otto Bernhard Von Koetteritz, and resides at Little Falls, N. Y. Mrs. Koetteritz was, before her marriage, a school teacher and her daughter Helena has taken up the same calling. John B. Koetteritz is a civil engineer and surveyor, enjoying a large general practice ; a Democrat, and a member of the Lutheran Church. Since coming to this country he has resided at Dolge- EIGHTH GENERATION. 197 ville, N. Y., Albany, N. Y., and Little Falls, N. Y. In former years he was connected with the Comptroller's office and the State Forest Commission, of which he was for several years the chief engineer. He was the compiler of the large Adirondack map which is now used in the State Departments at Albany and also the author of several other compilations on the Adirondack regions. He is an active member of the Herkimer County Histor- ical Society and has read numerous papers before that body. His times of leisure he devotes largely to historical and genealogical researches. Hans Otto Bernhard Von Koetteritz was born on Sept. 14, 1853, in East Prussia, Germany, and coming from a military fam- ily, was brought up in the Corps of Cadets of Prussia, graduat- ing at the age of seventeen from the Berlin School of Cadets and taking part as an ensign in the very last part of the Franco-Prus- sian War. He became a Second Lieutenant in 1872 and served as such until the year 1879, when he was honorably discharged with the rank of First Lieutenant. During his military career he was connected with the Geodetic Surveys of Alsace-Lorraine, and he also made personally all the surveys of the battlefields of Eastern France, and of Alsace-Lorraine, showing the graves of the fallen soldiers of both armies, a work which occupied his time for sev- eral years. While at military school he was appointed page to the Court of Prince Albrecht, the brother of the late Emperor William, and served in such duties for nearly two years. After the termination of this service the Prince presented him with a fine court sword bearing the name of the donor on its Denmark blade. The father of Mr. Koetteritz was Otto Von Koetteritz, late Captain in the Royal Prussian Brigade of the Artillery of the Guard, and his mother was the late Emily Dorothea Hoepner. His grandfather was Ernst Von Koetteritz, who served first as an officer in the Prussian army, but who took, after the great German defeat at Jena and the subsequent reduction of that army, Rus- sian service, and died as Colonel of the Engineers in 1819, in Russia. His grandmother was Julie Eleanor de Montferrin, 198 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. whose father and mother died under the guillotine during the French Revolution. Her father, Pierre Francois de Montferrin, was a captain in the French army under Rochambeau during the American Revolution. The branch of Mr. Koetteritz traces the Koetteritz line clearly to the year 1412 ; the general family history traces back to the time of the Crusades. Children^.

From his earliest recollections, he has been his father's right-hand man, actively par- ticipating in all the work of the farm and the building up of the timber business, from the early age of fifteen taking full charge of the mill. Naturally energetic and endowed with an unusually bright mind, it was only natural that under the splendid example and thorough training given him by his father, he should develop into the best timber man in the State and when, in 1898, his father turned the business over to him, he was fully prepared to handle it 210 THE BROCKETT GEN^EALOGY. to the best advantage. He has very largely increased its scope and territory, and numbers among his customers most of the large cor- porate interests of Southern New England, who are well aware of the fact that there is no job in his line too big for him to tackle. He is an ardent sportsman, being especially fond of horses, dogs and guns and keeps himself well supplied with the best of its kind. Possessed of a pleasing personality, he is deservedly popular with his host of friends. He was married June 20, 1896, to Minnie Belle Kay, a beautiful and talented young lady, of New Haven, who was the mother of three children.

In Febru- ary, 1889, he entered the employ of Price, Lee & Co., Publishers, of New Haven, where he laid the foundation for his future busi- ness success. In November, 1890, he emigrated to Western Penn- sylvania and took a position as office clerk with a large plate glass manufacturing concern, at Charleroi, Pa., and was shortly after promoted to the position of paymaster. In May, 1893, he resigned and took a position with the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, at Creighton, Pa., as private secretary to the President, remaining with that company seven years and filling subsequently the posi- tions of purchasing agent, and manager of two of their largest plants, ending with one year in their New York City branch. In May, 1900, he resigned to take the contract of designing and build- ing at Hite, Pa., one of the largest plate glass plants in the United States.

One after the other, and all within the space of three months, have the three Brockett brothers died almost without warning. A little over a year ago George Brockett dropped dead and last fall his brother, Loyal, met a similar fate while engaged at work at the residence of Captain John Hall. At II o'clock yesterday forenoon the third brother, Edwin L. Brockett, dropped dead at his home, 105 Harvey street, on the west side of Dry Run. He had been in ill health for about eighteen months, having experienced an attack of la grippe and pneumonia from which he did not wholly recover. He had been reared to habits of industry and was suc- cessfully engaged as a builder and contractor and even though physically indisposed he could not bear to remain in idleness. He continued to work, whenever he was able, up to a short time ago. Yesterday morning he was at home and did not appear to be any worse than usual, when suddenly he gave a gasp and tottered into the arms of his wife. She led him to the bed and as soon as he lay down his spirit took its everlasting flight. Mr. Brockett was born and raised in Peoria County, and at the timte of his death was 46 years of age. He was a prominent member of Colum- bia Lodge, Order of Odd Fellows, who will have charge of the funeral services, to be announced later. He was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends who deeply regret his sudden death. He is survived by his wife, and one daughter, lona, aged 17 years. Coroner Harper was notified of Mr. Brockett's death and held an inquest this morning, with a finding of death from natural causes. — Peoria, III., Star, May 8, 1903.

While this volume only purports to give the descendants of John Brockett, who came to this country from England in 1637, in jus- tice to several families of the same name residing in the Southern States, we would make mention of the fact that one hundred and forty-seven years later, namely, in 1784, Robert Brockett emi- grated from Lanarkshire, Scotland, to this country and settled at Alexandria, Va. The house which he erected is now occupied by Mr. Albert D. Brockett one of his descendants who has remodelled it, still preserving the same general outlines of its architecture. Mr. A. D. Brockett has been greatly interested in the history of this branch of the Brockett family, having a complete record of it from 1784 to 1871. Mrs. A. D. Brockett has been prominent among the Daughters of the American Revolution, which she en- tered on the records of seven of her ancestors, and was Vice-Pres- ident General of the National Society, D. A. R., in charge of organization in 1898. The descendants of Robert Brockett are now living mainly in Virginia and Georgia.

BROCKETT EAST ORANGE, N. J. 1905 EXPLANATION OF ARMORIAL BEARINGS. IN GENERAL. Arms, so called because originally displayed upon defensive armor. Coats of Arms, because embroidered upon the coat worn over the armor. William the Conqueror did not use these, and it is uncertain when they were first introduced into England, but in the 13th Century they came rapidly into use, and bannerets showing the family coat of arms were often carried by their retainers. In the infancy of heraldry every knight assumed whatever arms he chose, but the Crusades, by bringing together soldiers of different nations, tended to produce a certain assimilation in their herald- ries, all of which are now under the direction of the Heralds Col- lege at London. The Shield, as the most obvious piece, was that upon which arms were first displayed. The Cross was generally represented only on the Arms of those whose ancestors were in the Crusades. The Stag appears in the roll of Edward IT. When an animal is crowned royally or ducally he is called gorged. The Helmet indicates the rank of the wearer. When the Visor is raised, showing six bars, all of gold, it means the Royal Family ; five steel bars means Dukes or Marquises ; four silver bars, the lesser Nobles ; no bars, the Knights or Barons. The Crest was the ornament of the head piece and afforded protection against a blow. Up to 1301 only three crests had been used. The Lambrequin, or Mantling. — With the Crest is usually combined some drapery flowing down on each side of the Shield. 224 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. Its origin was the Mantle, or cloak, worn by the bearer of the Shield. The Motto was originally the war cry of the bearer. It is a brief sentence, or a single word, frequently breathing some pious sentiment or vigorous thought, often alluding to the Arms, the Name, or the Crest. THE BROCKETT ARMS. The Coat of Arms, pure and simple, of the English Brocketts, is a shield of gold, with a black cross upon it as in Fig. i, de- scribed in Heraldry — Or (gold), a cross patonce (three points to each arm of the cross slightly curved), Sa (sable or black). The Crest was a young deer, not over two years old, called a Brocket, lying down, but in the act of rising, with one foot extended, as in Fig. II., described as a stag lodged. Fig. III. represents the armorial bearings of the Brocketts of Spains Hall, Ongar, Co. Essex, England, which, in addition to the Coat of Arms and Crest mentioned above, has the "Brocket" rest- ing upon a sable cushion, lined with gold, and also a golden crown encircHng his neck (ducally gorged), all of which is above a Helmet, with the Visor lifted, showing five bars inclining to a profile. In heraldery this form of Helmet is described as belong- ing to the Nobility. The Colored Plate contains the Armorial Bearings of Sir John Brockett of Brockett Hall, in the County of Herts, England. This is nearly the same as that of the Brocketts of Spains Hall, but has a dififerent helmet with the Visor closed. It also has a rope around the neck of the stag, representing the office of High Sheriff. The Motto, Crux mea Lux (the Cross my light) indi- cated, as did the Coat of Arms, the family connection with the Crusades, and has been highly esteemed by all branches of the family.

While the purpose of this book is to record the descendants, in America, of John Brockett, the first of the name who settled in this country ; and while the exact relationship of this John Brock- ett to Sir John Brockett, of Brockett Hall, Hertfordshire, Eng- land, is yet undetermined, the editor has been requested to pub- lish some of the information in regard to the English Brocketts which has been already obtained ; believing that other members of the family will continue the investigation and complete the line in unbroken succession from A. D., 1201, to the present time. In furtherance of this plan Mr. Chas. A. Brockett, of Kansas City, procured from the Heralds College, in London, the Armorial Bearings which are so finely presented in this volume. He also secured the portrait of one of the earlier Knights — Sir John Brockett, who died 1558; and the two views of Brockett Hall, a place of historic interest and still a favorite resort of dis- tinguished individuals. These have been reproduced for this work, adding greatly to its value. Famous Persons Who Lived and Died in Brockett Hall. At Brocket Hall, Herts, which the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales brings into notice, are to be found relics not only of the two Prime Ministers — Melbourne and Palmerston — who died within its walls, but of ladies whose names are famous in history, in fiction and in song. Lady Caroline Lamb, from Brocket Hall, dated many of her "Brocket" letters to Lord Byron, says the London Chronicle. And her husband — sure- ly the most magnanimous of a magnanimous class — dated from Brocket those letters to Mrs. Norton which were not saved by their frigidity from figuring in a superfluous divorce trial. But another lady, the first Lady Mel- bourne, daughter of Sir Ralph Milbanke, and daughter-in-law of the Sir Matthew Lamb, who bought Brocket from the Winningtons, has left sou- venirs of herself — two portraits painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, in one of which she appears in lonely beauty, and in the other is fondling her child — a group engraved under the title of "Maternal Affection." At Brocket she consoled herself for absence from the festive town house in Piccadilly by improvements and decorations, of which Lord and Lady Mount Stephen have the advantage to-day. The ceilings were cov- 226 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. ered with elaborate designs in color ; and then, to use an expression current at that pre-Whistlerian era, "the walls, being hung with pictures, came to be hung with thoughts." — Nezvark Nezvs, Feb. 17, 1904. London, Dec. 24, 1903. — Britain's metropolis presents the deserted appearance usual on the eve of Christmas. King Edward, Queen Alexan- dra, the Prince and Princess of Wales and the members of the court have gone to the country. Ambassador Choate and his family are at Brocket Hall, Hatfield, Hert- fordshire, where they will enjoy their Christmas dinners as the guests of Lord Mount-Stephen. — N. Y. Tribune, Dec. 25, 1903. "The Pedigree of Brockett," published in Gateshead, Eng- land, in i860, tracing the family lines from A. D., 1201 to 1834, was kindly furnished by Mrs. D. M. Wells, of Cleveland, and will be found in the form of a Chart at the end of this book. Extensive researches were also made by Mr. F. S, Brockett, of Parkersburg, W. Va. The name of Brocket appears very early in the records of English History. It is of Saxon origin, and doubtless they came to England with the Saxons in the 7th century. . From English County Histories we have gleaned the follow- ing accounts of this family, which, though but fragments, are suf- ficient to show the standing, character and associations of the fam- ily, during some three hundred years antecedent to the settlement of New England. We find that some of that name were with the Crusaders in the days of Richard the Lion-hearted, 1 189-91, and took at that time for their motto, "Crux mea Lux." — The Cross my light, which has been ever since retained in the family Coat of Arms and which of itself, shows that some of their ancestors were engaged in the crusades. In the Church Records of Gravely and Chisfield are men- tioned, with dates, the following: Lords of the Manors^' *This term "Manor" began to be used in England after the Norman Conquest. A Manor consisted of two parts : First, the home-estate, which the lord held in his own hands, and upon which his house was built ; second, the "outland," which was held by tenants for rent or for service of the lord ; these tenants generally lived by agriculture. In the 13th century the lord of the Manor was often only three de- grees removed in the feudal scale from the King. Moreover, a lord might hold several Manors. Legislation has now put such checks upon the devel- opment of the manorial system that it has declined to a mere shadow. No new Manors have been created in England since this legislation, but many old Manors still exist. — International Encyclopedia. THE ENGLISH BROCKETTS. 22/ 1432.

By reference to the Chart of the English Brocketts at the close of this volume it will be noticed that Edward Broket, about the year 1300, was living in Yorkshire, and his descendants con- tinued to live there. One of them. Sir Thomas Broket, who was Knighted by King Henry 6th, built the first Brocket Hall at Yorkshire. He died in 1435. His coat of arms was the sable cross patonce ,on a field of gold, and the crest a stag lodged, ducally gorged and lined, or., the same as used by Sir John Brockett, of Wheathamstead, a century later. "The site of Broket Hall, in Yorkshire, an area of nearly two acres, lies east of the present village of Appleton. Although no buildings remain, the moat, which had surrounded the house, is distinctly visible. Brocket Wood, about 10 acres, is a quarter of a mile distant from Brocket Hall. This estate became the property of Sir William Milner, Bart." His son. Sir Thomas, of Broket Hall, born about 1405, was a member of Parliament for the County of Herts, in 1435. He married Elizabeth, daughter of William Ashe, of Manor of Alm- shoebury, and through this marriage came into the possession of the Symonds Hyde Estate, and built Brockett Hall at Wheat- hamstead, Thomas and his wife, Elizabeth, were the Patrons of the Rec- tory of Graveley from June 7, 1432, until his death in 1477, when, having no children, his son and heir, Edward Brocket, succeeded him. Elizabeth Ashe, his wife, died January 12th, 1482. This Edward had a son, Robert, who was buried in the Church of St. Margaret (which was erected as early as iioo.) In the middle aisle lies a gray marble before the pulpit with this inscription on brass, "Hie Jacet Robertus Brocket generosus qui obiit decimo die Junii 1569. Etat suae 49." This Edward was the father of the first John Brocket, 228 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. of Wheathamstead, who married Lucy, daughter of John Pulter, of Hitchen. He was Sheriff of Herts and Essex 1507-8, Patron of Rectory of Graveley 15 17. His son, John Brocket, of Wheathamstead, married Dorothy, daughter of H. Hammond, of Hoo. He was Sheriff of Herts and Essex 1 53 1. The Sheriff is one of the most ancient and honorable officers known to the EngHsh law. In England the Sheriffs of all the counties, with very few exceptions, were appointed by the Crown, and were men of high rank and great power in the realm. In the early English history the Sheriff was distinctly a royal officer appointed by the King each year as the chief execu- tive officer of the county, exercising judicial authority. — Johnson's Cyc. His son, Sir John Brocket, who died in 1558, was Knighted by King Edward 6th, and occupied Brockett Hall. He married Margaret, daughter and sole heir of Wm. Benstede. His por- trait, taken from the "Copper Plate Magazine," published in 1792, will be found in this volume. His name often appears in "Cussans History" in connection with public affairs in Hertfordshire. In a letter of Lord Burgh- ley, we find that the soldiers from his estate were "go of the likelyest men and best furnished ever sent out of Hertfordshire, and John Brockett gave each four shillings for gate money when they left amounting to eighteen pounds sterling." His son, the second Sir John Brocket, was born in 1538, and succeeded to Brockett Hall; was a member of Parliament in 1572 and 1584; was Knighted in 1577 by Queen Elizabeth; was High Sherifif of Herts 1566 to 1581, died in 1598, and was buried in the Brocket Chapel of the Parish Church of Bishops Hatfield, which is dedicated to St. Ethelreda and is situated at the east end of the town, just within the gates of the old palace. "The South Chancel Aisle, or Brocket Chapel, is separated from the chancel by two handsome decorated gothic arches. In it is a large altar tomb, on which are two pillars supporting a flat cover surmounted by a quartered shield of Brocket, impaled with Ashe, Benstede and Cromwell. "In the Bishop's Church at Hatfield is a monument to the Earl of Salisbury. The Marquess of Sali.sbury finding this church in quite a dilapi- dated condition restored it at her own expense. The late Mr. Wynn Ellis restored the Brocket Chapel in 1872. On the floor of the church, on either side, are two effigies, brought hither from the Brocket Cbapel, when the church was restored. That on the north side is of great antiquity and well worthy of some more befitting place, the figure is four feet long and carved in low relief, about an inch in height and represents a man in armour.

The person repre- sented wears a barrel-shaped helmet and in his right hand, concealed be- neath the shield, he holds erect a sword, the top of which alone remains. The legs are very diminutive. All the details of the armour have been com- pletely eflfaced by the 'clouted shoon' of generations passing over it." — Cussans Hist. This was doubtless one of the early Brockett ancestors as it was trans- ferred from the Brocket Chapel to the Aisle of the church and appears in the record in connection with the account of the monuments in Brocket Chapel. His helmet hung over his tomb and the family crests and coats of arms on the shield were still perfectly legible March 12, 1902. He married ist Helen Lytton, daughter and co-heir of Sir Robert Lytton, Knight ; married 2nd Elizabeth Moore, daughter and co-heir of Roger Moore, of Burcester, Co. Oxen, and widow of Gabriel Fowler, of Lylesworth, Co. Bedford. Several of these Brockets either built churches on their own estates, or made large endowments of churches in the vicinity, as in several different churches there were chapels or places of burial named for them, and of which they were the patrons. In addition to the St. Ethelreda mentioned above, which con- tains several monumental memorials of the family, we find in Wheathamstead Church — in the south transept, an altar tomb, upon which are the recumbent figures of a Knight and his wife, beautifully carved in marble, or in alabaster, and one richly gilded head of male figure bare and resting on his helmet. Hair and beard is long, 3 rings on each hand. Around his neck are two massive chains, from one of which depends a cross plate as a jewel. (Insignia of the Knight of the Garter.) He is habited in plate armor with a Hauberk of mail under- neath, visible around the throat and beneath the tuilles and tassets which protect his thighs. An immense sword lies by his side. His feet encased in sol- erets rest upon a Lion.* *The English "Notes and Queries" discusses the subject of figures of animals on old tombs and says, "These figures are usually a Lion at the feet of a man, and a Dog at the feet of a woman. They are generally found on tombs previous to 1400, and less frequently after that date. The Lion is supposed to symbolize the strength, courage and generosity of man, and the Dog the fidelity and affection of woman. The figures are often found on the tombs of the Crusaders." The statue of Richard Ceour de Lion, at Rouen, France, where he was buried, has his feet resting upon a Lion. 230 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. Round the verge of his tomb, in raised letters of stone, is the inscription, "Here lyeth the bodyes of Sir John Brocket Knyghte, and Dame Margaret, his wife, daughter and heir of William Benstede, Esq., ye which John departyd this world ye 24th of March in ye yere of our Lord God, 1558, and ye sade Dame Margaret departyd this worlde ye day of — in ye yere of our Lord God, 1560, which Sir John and Dame Margaret had is- sue ten sonnes and three daughters." The Brocket family seem to have had a porch or other spec- ial burial place in Bolton-Percy Church, as appears from the fol- fowing entry in the Register Book: — "Lord Fairfax, Baron of Cameron, dyed at Denton, March ye 13th, and brought to the par- ish church of Bolton Percy, and there buried in the Brockett Queire, within the said church, the 20th day of the same, 1547." In the Histories of Hertfordshire we find reference to several other Manors owned by the Brocketts, viz. : "Manor of Almeshoebury. On the death of Wm. Ashe the Manor came to his daughter, Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Broc- ket. In Oct., 1477, Thomas Brocket died seized, with Elizabeth his wife, of this Manor, held of Edward Langford by the service of a red rose, with remainder to Edward Brocket, his brother, then of the age of 50 and upward. This continued in the family of Brocket till 1600 when it came to Sir Richard Spencer, of Offley, on his marriage with Helen, dau. and co-heir of Sir John Brocket." "Manor of Letchworth. By an inquisition Nov, 7, T474, it was found that Sir Nicholas Barrington inherited this Manor, His wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Brockett, of Broc- kett Hall. They had issue John (and six daughters) who, on ar- riving at his majority, succeeded to the possession of this Manor." "Manor of Rothamsted, formerly in family of Cressey, whose daughter, Elizabeth, married Edmund Bardolf, who had a son, Richard Bardolf, who married Mary, daughter of Edward Brockett, and succeeded to this Estate." "The Manor of Ayot St. Lawrence, a small village about two miles N. E. of Wheathamstead, and six miles from Hatfield, THE ENGLISH BROCKETTS. 23 1 the nearest of the King's houses, was granted to John Brockett in the 35th year of the reign of King Henry VIII." "The Manor of Ayot St. Peter, a village about eight miles N. W. of Hertford passed from John Brockett to the Reades." "The Manor of Offley Magna, which formed part of the possession of the King, at the time of the Doomsday Book*, in 1577, came into the possession of Sir Richard Spencer, Knight, who married Helen, daughter of Sir John Brocket, of Hatfield, Knight. His eldest son succeeded him, but died without male issue, and the Manor came to his brother, Sir Brocket Spencer. In 1668 Sir Richard Spencer inherited it on the death of his father. In the church, at Offley, of St. Mary Magdalen is a slab — Sir Richard Spencer, Bart., died Nov., 1624; also Dame Helen, his wife, dau. of Sir John Brocket, who died May 12, 1614." "The Manor of Mandlesden, (came at the time of the con- quest to King William, see Doomsday Record) succeeded, through some obscurity, to Sir Robert Lytton, who died without male issue, and his daughter and co-heir, Helen, brought this Manor to Sir John Brockett, of Hatfield, Knight, by whom she had 5 daughters, Mary, the youngest, to whom this Manor came, was married to Thomas Reade, of Brocket Hall. Spain's hall. This estate, located at Ongar, Essex, took its name from Hervey de Spain, to whom it anciently belonged. In 1285 Wm. de Monchensy died possessed of this Manor, William, his son and heir, afterward sold it to John Brockett, Esq., from whom it passed to Wm. Brocket, Esq., and his heirs. William Brocket's daughter, Mary, succeeded to this estate and married Stanes Chamberlain, Esq., of the Ryes, Sussex. Their eldest son, Stanes Brocket Chamberlain, born 1782, as- sumed the name and arms of his maternal ancestor, and was known as Stanes Brocket Brocket. Mr. Brocket was called to the *William the Conqueror caused a survey to be made of all the lands in England, the results of which were embodied in the "Doomsday Book," which was completed in 1086. He caused the land to be divided into 60,000 Knights Estates among his followers as feudal lords. 232 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY. Bar at the Middle Temple in 1812, was J. P. & D.

Brocket Hall, was located at Wheathamstead, County Herts, originally described in the "Doomsday Book" as "Watam- stede," which, in 13 12, was the meeting place of the Barons in their war against Edward 2d. This estate adjoined Hatfield, which has been noted in history, where in the 12th century the famous Ely Episcopal Palace was erected, which was acquired by Henry 8th. Edward VI. and Queen Elizabeth were both called to the throne while residents of the palace. James I also resided here and it was one of the prisons of Charles I. Brocket Hall derived its name from the family of Brocket, its former possessors, and who occupied it for more than 100 years. So honored was the name that none of its distinguished owners of other names and later years have desired to change its title. It was a princely mansion standing in a finely timbered and undulating park of about 500 acres, on a very elevated site, com- manding beautiful views of surrounding towns and magnificent Q < a, < en < Q Z < a z uf q: X en Q a: o u, H q: I < i: H u O a: CQ THE ENGLISH BROCKETTS. 233 residences. The River Lee, one of the tributaries of the Thames, flows through its grounds. On the death of Sir John Brocket in 1598, without male is- sue, his estates were divided among his daughters — Margaret, wife of Sir John Cutts ; Anne, wife of Sir Alexander Cave ; Elizabeth, wife of George Carleton ; Helen, wife of Sir Richard Spencer ; Mary, wife of Sir Thomas Reade, and Frances, wife of Dudley, Third Lord North. On a partition being made, the Brockett Hall Estate came to Mary, the fifth daughter, who conveyed it in marriage to Sir Thomas Reade, of Barton, County Berks, Knight. Sir James Reade, Baronet, his grandson, to whom Brockett Hall descended, died in Oct., 1701, leaving five daughters — Dor- othy, Anne, Love, Mary and Susan. This estate came to Love, who, in 1719, was married to Thomas Winnington, Esq., of Stan- ford, County Worcester, who died, possessed of it, in April, 1746. It was shortly afterwards sold to Matthew Lamb, Esq., who was created Baron, Jan. 4, 1755, and was succeeded in 1768 by his son, Sir Peniston Lamb, who, in 1776, was created Baron, and in 1780 Viscount Melbourne, of the Kingdom of Ireland, and by patent in 181 5 Baron Melbourne, of Melbourne, in the County of Derby. He died July 22, 1828, leaving issue by Elizabeth, his wife, only daughter of Sir Ralph Milbank, Bart., William, Second Viscount Melbourne ; Frederick James, George and Emily Mary, William, in an able manner, conducted public affairs from 1834 to 1841, dying in 1848 without surviving issue. His brother, Frederick James, third and last Lord Melbourne, succeeded to his estate. The Honorable Emily Mary Lamb (his sister) Viscountess Palmerston, the only remaining issue of the First Viscount Mel- bourne, succeeded to the family estates in Hertfordshire and Der- byshire. In 1805 she was married to Peter Leopold, Fifth Earl Cowper, after whose death, in 1737, she became wife of the late Lord Palmerston, whom she survived four years. On the death of Lady Palmerston, Brockett Hall came to the Right Hon. Fran- cis Thomas DeGray, Cowper, K. G., Seventh Earl Cowper. Both Lord and Lady Palmerston died at Brockett Hall. :^34 THE BROCKETT GENEALOGY Sir Matthew Lamb pulled down the old house of the Broc- ketts and built the present mansion on its site from designs of James Paine. The exterior cannot boast of any architectural beauty, the building being but a square pile of brick pierced for windows. All the attention of the architect was given to the interior. The rooms are lofty and well proportioned, and his ability is seen in the ''Principal Staircase and Ballroom." The ceilings are decorated by the pencils of Mortimer and Wheatley. He constructed a very pretty lake in front of the Hall by widening the River Lee, which intersects the park. An artificial waterfall near its southern extremity is spanned by a handsome stone bridge of three arches, over which the road leading to the principal ■entrance to the mansion is carried. During the early part of the nineteenth century Brockett Park was known as a fashionable race course, where the first Lord Melbourne for several successive years entertained the Prince Regent and other patrons of the turf.* The following description of Brocket Hall is taken from the "Copper Plate Magazine," published in London in 1792: Brocket Hall, the elegant and magnificent seat of Lord Viscount Melbourne, is situated in a most delightful park, between Hatfield and Welwyn, in Hertfordshire, about twenty-two miles from London. It stands on a very elevated spot, and commands many extensive and beautiful views of the neighboring towns and gentlemen's seats ; among which, that of Hatfield House, the princely mansion of the Marquis of Salisbury, is not the least striking. The park and ancient edifice, which formerly belonged to the Brockets, came into the family of the present noble pos- sessor by purchase, and to his Lordship in succession. The mansion has been newly erected; being begun by the late Lord Melbourne, and finished by his present Lordship about twenty years since, who has made prodigious improvements in the park, which is one of the most elegantly picturesque in the kingdom. Mr. Payne was the architect; and the beautiful bridge over the spacious sheet of water which enriches the enchanting scenery * Cuss an' s Hist. Hertfordshire. THE ENGLISH BROCKETTS. 235 is executed by the same ingenious gentleman. The water and out- grounds were laid out and disposed by. Mr. Wood, of Essex. The whole, both internally and externally, is completed in a style of magnificence and elegance truly exquisite, and highly to the honour of his Lordship's taste and liberality. There are many valuable paintings, by the first masters ; among the rest, a wonderful large and fine picture by Teniers ; and Sir Joshua Reynolds' noble painting of the Prince of Wales and a horse, exhibited some years ago, with so much eclat, at the Royal Academy, Somerset Place.
