WILLIAM FRANCIS JOSEPH BOARDMAN AND HIS FAMILY. JANE M. GRliEMLRAF BOARDMAN, AM) HER SON WILLIAM GREENLEAF BOARDMAN. From a daguerreotype made September 24.. iSj4. WILLIAM FRANCIS JOSEPH BOARDMAN 1. WILLIAM FRANCIS JOSEPH B0ARDMA;N^, of Hartford, Conn., was the son of AVilliam Boardman (No. 2) and Mary Francis (No. 3), and was born in Wethersfield, Conn., December 12, 1828, in the ancestral home of the family where his father then lived, located on Broad street in that town. It was an ideal New England home, pleas- antly situated amid beautiful surroundings, well provided with the comforts of that day and filled with the good in- fluences of education, morals, and religion. On the farm there was always work for the boy and his amusements were few — only an occasional turn at " old cat," wicket, foot ball, checkers or some other of the boyhood sports of those days, and fishing in the river when it rained too hard for out-door work. The holidays of the time. Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, and Election Day, were improved to the utmost ; but they were " few and far between," and the Sundays, that were observed with Puritan strictness, seemed to be very frequent. This boy of the Boardman home at- tended with regularity the schools of the town, finally grad- uating from the Academy in the spring of 1846 at the age of seventeen. He then entered the Coffee and Spice Manufac- tory of his father in Wethersfield to assist him and become 14 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. familiar in detail with the business. During the next four years he was the " man of all work " in the establishment, — book-keeper, coffee roaster and packer, traveling salesman, etc., and he then received under the guidance of his father a thorough business training and formed many acquaintances that were of great value to him in after life. This increasing business required more improved facil- ities and larger accommodations for its successful prosecu- tion, and early in 1850 it was removed to Hartford, Mr. Boardman being then admitted into partnership with his father under the firm name of William Boardman & Son. He then removed his residence to Hartford, May 15, 1850, boarding with Mrs. Silloway, comer of Windsor and Pleasant streets. From that time the responsibility in the business, which is more fully refeiTcd to in the sketch of William Boardman, the head of the firm, began to fall more and more upon the son, and thereafter for many years he devoted to it his entire energy. Opportunities that opened to him in other directions were declined that nothing might divert his attention and impair the value of his services in the business. In 1853, still more room being needed, the manufactory was removed from 'No. 12 Central Row, where it had first located, to what is now No. 241 State street, and at this time Mr. Boardman's younger brother, Thomas Jefferson Boardman, was admitted to the partnership and the firm name became William Boardman & Sons. The ambition, energy, and diligence of the younger members of the firm, wisely directed by the father, were rewarded with success. In 1858, two stories in an adjoining building were leased, and teas were added to the stock in trade. In 1867 the business was removed to No. 205 State street, the old WILLIAM FRANCIS JOSEPH BOARDMAN. 15 store and storehouse being retained for the manufacturing and storage of goods. These quarters proved to be too limited and in 1871 the firm erected for the use of the business the browTi stone building, ISTos. 298-306 Asylum street, known as the Boardman Building. Throughout all these years, during which a small en- terprise was developed into a large manufacturing estab- lishment, Mr. Boardman devoted himself with the closest application to the business of the firm. He was permitted to see it successful and widely known throughout the country. But the labor and care finally proved too much for his strength and his health became seriously impaired. He sought rest, at length going abroad in the hope of being benefited by travel and change. The result was not entirely satisfactory, and Mr. Boardman after the death of his father concluded to abandon all business activity. He therefore sold to his brother, and the latter's son, his interest in the firm with which he had been connected so long, and, July 9, 1888, retired from the business which had received his best service for forty-two years. Mr. Boardman was actively associated, during his bus- iness career, in the promotion and establishment of many enterprises. In many of these his father or the firm were also interested and they are named in the sketch of its senior member. Much of the responsibility and labor, however, fell upon the son, and he gave freely of his time and thought to such matters. In the construction of several buildings that were erected by the firm the superintendence of the work devolved upon him. These were the Boardman Build- ing in 1871, the Agard Building, Nos. 285-293 Asylum street in 1876, and the Lawrence Building, Nos. 87-94 State 16 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. street in 1879. Under his supervision also the residence of his son, Mr. William Greenleaf Boardman, No. 10 Marshall street (formerly IsTo. 2), was built. In 1861 he was chosen a director of the State Bank of Hartford, serving in that capacity during the Civil War with conscientious devotion to its interests. In this bank William Boardman and Son opened an account in May, 1850, and this relationship of the firm has been continued to the present time. In 1863 Mr. Boardman was elected a member of the Court of Common Council of Hartford from the old Third Ward, and was a member of the committee on highways and chairman of the committee on the horse railroad, then in process of construction. He never sought political office or favor, though he has had a lifelong affiliation with the dem- ocratic party, those commonly known as " gold democrats." Other concerns engaged his time and attention during the active period of his business life. He dealt largely in real estate and assisted several young men to establish themselves in business. He has served on commissions, settled estates, and withal maintained an interest as a citizen in the welfare of the community in which he has lived. The excessive cares of Mr. Boardman's business life led him to seek diversion in the study of family history. In 1882 he began to gather infomiation from various sources on the Boardman family. This work, after the ex|3enditure of much time and money in collecting records and original investigation at home and abroad, resulted in 1895 in his publication of the Boardman Genealogy, 1525-1895, a work of nearly 800 pages, which is believed to be as complete as any in the field of family history. The entire expense of the necessary investigation for this volume and the cost o W -S > en > WILLIAM FRANCIS JOSEPH BOARDMAN. 17 of publication, Mr. Boardman assumed, believing that the family was worthy of such a memorial. He has also pub- lished the Francis-Goodrich-Boardman Genealogy in his own line of ancestry, a Memorial of Mary Francis and William Boardman, and a Complete Record of the Wethersfield Inscriptions in the Five Burial Places in that Ancient Town, He gave valuable assistance in " a very large proportion of the illustrations," in historical material and means toward the publication of Stiles's History of Wethersfield, in which town as the ancestral home of his family he has an abiding interest. In his collection of books and manuscripts, antique furniture, curios, paintings, and pictures may be found much that is of great value in the history of the Board- man family and the town in which so many of them lived. Mr. Boardman was one of the original members of the Putnam Phalanx at its organization in 1859 and still retains his connection with this well known military battalion. His studies have developed a deep interest in historical societies. He is a life member of the Connecticut Historical Society, a life member of the Xew England Historic Genealogical Society, a member of the Topsfield Historical Society and the Ipswich Historical Society. He is also a member of several patriotic orders — the Sons of the American Revolu- tion, the Sons of the Revolution, and the Connecticut Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, being one of the original members of the latter at its organization. May 9, 1896, and chosen one of its councillors, and later elected Genealogist of the Society. Mr. Boardman is a life member of the Wethersfield Society Library, and was deeply interested in the erection of a monument in that town to the memory of Samuel Boreman and his descendants. He is a 3 18 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. member of the Connecticut Humane Society and is a liberal contributor to other philanthropic and benevolent causes. After Mr. Boardman's marriage he resided for a year in Phelps' Block, No. 279 North Main street. In 1853 he removed to 'No. 27 John street, where he lived two years and his son, William Greenleaf Boardman, was bom. He next resided for a similar period at No. 44 Pleasant street, and removed thence in 1857 to No. 14 Linden Place which was formerly the home of his wife's mother. In 1859, the Board- man home having been erected, he removed thither to live next door to his father at No. 34 Buckingham street. He took up his residence at No. 74 (formerly No. 16) Farming- ton avenue April 1, 1866, where he has since had his home. ■-.'la/is lL-^.-S' '/czyi^t^ y/^ , y'l'-e^-^nZcaJ- /J ciayr-^^Ui^ayyL.^^ JANE MARIA GREENLEAF William Francis Joseph Boardman married, January 7, 1852, JANE MARIA GREENLEAF, daughter of Doctor Charles Greenleaf and Electa Toocker, who was born in Hartford, Conn., August 9, 1835. The marriage was cel- ebrated in the North Congregational Church, in Hartford, the ceremony being performed by the pastor, Rev. Horace Bushnell, D.D. At the time of Mrs. Boardman's birth, the home of her parents was located on the south side of Asylum street, a few rods east of Ford street, and the house, though somewhat altered in appearance, is still standing. In 1836, they removed to No. 10 Windsor street. After Doctor Greenleaf's death, or about 1845, the widow removed to No. 294 Main street, and about 1848, to No. 14 Wells avenue, which was Mrs. Boardman's home at the time of her marriage. In the Greenleaf family there were twelve children, of whom Jane Maria was the youngest. This circumstance and the tender sympathies of her nature made her a general favorite in the circle. In after years she was looked to for counsel, assist- ance and comfort, which she was always most willing to minister. The early education of Mrs. Boardman was conducted in the schools of the Misses Stockbridge on Talcott street. Miss Kelsey on Trumbull street, and the Center school on Market street. What she thus acquired was greatly augmented in 20 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. later years by her natural intelligence, a lifelong habit of reading, and her powers of observation. She found her highest sphere, however, in her home, the cares of which she took up with devotion in her youth and ever conducted with wisdom and affection. She made her home, as one of her friends said, " a place of rest and peace and harmony." In it she gathered a circle of devoted friends who were blessed by her gracious hospitality. To her family she was always a loyal companion, a faithful wife, and an affectionate mother, whose good cheer was the sunshine of all. Among her traits a love for the beautiful was conspicuous^ and especially was this true of her delight in nature. The flowers were her friends and she found in the glow of the sunset many a feast of soul. As one might expect in a person of such sensibilities, Mrs. Boardman was filled with sympathy for the poor and imfortunate. Her charities were large and continual, though never bestowed to be seen of others and rarely known to those who were nearest to her. At the time of her death one of her intimate acquaintances wrote of her in the public press as follows: — "She was kind, sympathetic and charitable to all. To the sick she was a ministering angel. 'No one could have been more loyal to friends. Many will miss her bounties, which were in the majority of cases extended without the knowledge of the recipient, so far as the giver was concerned." Previous to Mrs. Boardman's death she had been for a number of years in poor health, induced by an accident when she was engaged in kindly ministration to one of her family circle in a distant town, and a strange house. Yet she bore with patience the pains of her affliction, and after years of suffering entered into her reward on the 20th of August, JANE MARIA GREENLEAF. 21 1899. Her funeral was held from her home No. 74 Farming- ton avenue on the 2 2d of August, the services being conducted by the Rev. E. S. Ferry, pastor of the South Park Methodist Church, and the Rev. George L. Coburn, pastor of the Wethersfield Methodist Episcopal Church. The interment was in the family lot at Cedar Hill Cemetery. Thus there passed from earth one who exemplified in her life the true worth of an unselfish, beautiful and affectionate character, whose memory lives in all who knew her and is blessed. WILLIAM GREENLEAF BOARDMAN WILLIAM GREENLEAF BOARDMAN, the only child of William Francis Joseph and Jane Maria Greenleaf Boardman, was bom in Hartford, Conn., June 29, 1853, at No. 27 John street. He was educated at Mr. Hart's prepar- atory school in Farmington, Conn., Mr. Hall's Classical School in Ellington, Conn., and the Hartford High School. He was connected with the firm of William Boardman & Sons, but has been obliged to give up business for a time on account of trouble with his eyes. Mr. Boardman is a life member of the Connecticut Historical Society, a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, and the Connecticut Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America and one of its Councillors. He is also President of the Hubbard Escort of Hartford, and Treasurer of the Board- man Family Association. William Greenleaf Boardman married in Hartford, Conn., October 29, 1874, Eliza Fowler Root, a descendant of Thomas Root, one of the early settlers of Hartford, and a daughter of Horatio Root and Abigail Whittier Hussey, the latter a cousin of the poet John Greenleaf Whittier. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Matson Meir Smith, rector of St. John's Church, in the home of the bride. No. 84 Hudson street. Mrs. Boardman was born in the home where she was married. May 11, 1853. The home of William Greenleaf Boardman is at No. 10 Marshall street, -Vl'Mc 'ayvr^h'^rf^'l-r^6GJ^U^C^(X^(:^a^ '•O'C^C' FRANCIS WHITTIER BOARDMAN. ^6' c<^ removed to Wethersfield, Conn., and there the son had his childhood home and entered upon the business of his life. He received his education in the best schools of that ancient town. At the age of sixteen he began to learn the printer's trade in the office of the Hartford Times, then owned and published by Samuel Bowles and John Francis, the agree- ment being that he should receive $20.00 a year, with board, washing, and mending. In the summer of 1824, he ac- companied Mr. Bowles to Springfield, Mass., and assisted him in establishing the Sprvngfield Republican, setting up the type and printing a part of the first issue of that well-known newspaper. This removal was accomplished by placing the press, with all the articles necessary for use in the business, and the proprietor's household furniture on a flatboat, in which they were poled up the Com^ecticut river. During the period of this service Mr. Boardman boarded in the family of his employer. In September, 1828, having returned meanwhile to Wethersfield and married, he entered 28 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. into a partnership with William Faulkner of ISTorwich, Conn., under the firm name of Boardman & Faulkner, and began the publication of the Norwich Republican, of which he was the founder and editor. This was the second newspaper in Connecticut to support the election of Andrew Jackson for the Presidency. He was soon forced to retire from this enterprise on account of his health. In 1830 he was, for a short time, the publisher of the Tolland Advocate, of Tolland, Conn., having been engaged for that, purpose by an association of interested gentlemen. Then in company with Alfred Francis, Esq., of Wethersfield, he issued in 1832, an octavo volume, entitled " Sketches of the Life, Writings, and Opinions of Thomas Jefferson," written for them by Mr. B. L. Rayner, the printing, binding, etc., being done in Wethersfield in the building now standing on the corner opposite May's tavern on the north. A large edition of this book was published and it was sold by subscrip- tion, being received with much favor by the public. Two years later he was employed by John Russell, then editor and publisher of the Hartford Times, as foreman of the establishment. This was his last engagement at his trade, though the experience thereby acquired was invaluable to him in the subsequent business of his life. From the year 1837 to 1839 he was engaged in farming at Wethers- field. To this occupation he added the culture of silk worms, from whose product he manufactured sewing silk, and he also made cigars from tobacco of his own cultivation. In 1841 Mr. Boardman began the most important bus- iness venture of his life with which his name is still as- sociated. He then established, in company with John Fox, a grocery and coffee business in Wethersfield, the firm name re o a 21 > a K^ ^ »^ *^ w S' > a 21 CD o crq fc-H re c« o td o ^s t> o w e g t> z WILLIAM BOARDMAN. 29 being Fox & Boardman. With characteristic foresight Mr. Boardman saw the value in the market of coffee, slices, etc., already prepared and put up for use. This led the firm to begin the manufacture of such articles and they were the first so engaged in New England, outside of Boston. The partnership was dissolved October 1, 1844, and from January 1, 1845, until the business was removed to Hartford Mr. Boardman carried it on alone. At first he was located in the second story of the Richard Bobbins store, now occupied by A. W. Hanmer, but he removed, in 1846, to the Roswell Clapp place, now the location of the post-office in that town. The coffee was purchased in bags as imported, roasted and at first ground by hand, the Samson who supplied the power being a blind man named Charles Benson, who was glad of the opportunity to earn his wages in this manner. Soon, however, horse-power was substituted in the operation of the machinery. Many labels, advertisements, etc., the mementoes of this business in its early days, have been preserved by Mr. Boardman's eldest son. The increase of the output demanding a change, the business was removed to Hartford in 1850, and located at ISTo. 12 Central Row. At this time Mr. Boardman's ,son, William Francis Joseph Boardman, was admitted to partner- ship and three years later the younger son also, Thomas Jefferson Boardman. The history of the business, therefore, after 1853 is one into which the efforts of these three men enter and in which they were most intimately associated. Each in his turn bore ''' the heat and burden of the day," and all were permitted to see this business which was begun in a small way in a country town become one widely known throughout the country. 30 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. Several changes were made from time to time in conse- quence of the need for more commodious quarters, and improved methods of manufacture. When the business w&s located at No. 12 Central Row, steam power and modern machinery were introduced. The sale of its product was widely extended within a few years in the New England states, New York City, and Canada, where a large amount of the manufactured goods was sold. The coffee used at the opening of the Crystal Palace in New York, July 14, 1853, was furnished by them. Probably the first invoice of ground and prepared coffee sent to California was from this firm. In 1853, the business was removed to No. 109 State street, (now No. 241 State street), in 1867 to No. 205 State street, and in 1871 the Boardman Building, Nos. 298-306 Asylum street (formerly Nos. 122-130 Asylum street) was built for its accommodation. It has been conducted successively under the names Fox and Boardman, from 1841 to 1845, William Boardman, from January 1, 1845 to 1850, William Board- man & Son, from 1850 to 1853, William Boardman & Sons, from 1853 to 1897, and The William Boardman & Sons Com- pany, from January 1, 1897, when it was incorporated, to the present time. A single room, with a place for roasting, was sufiicient for its use in 1841, but it grew within the life of its originator to need the commodious Boardman Building, erected at a cost of over $100,000, to which it removed April 1, 1872, and where it is at present located, with a large manufactory in the rear, fully equipped with the most improved machinery. It has become one of the most success- ful companies in New England, engaged as importers and dealers in teas, coffees, spices, grocers' sundries, cigars and tobacco. In 1858, William Boardman and Sons were award- WILLIAM BOARDMAN. 31 ed a first premium for every variety of tea, coffee and spices, there being some seventy varieties of tea alone. In all this development William Boardman bore his part while he lived and the company which still honors his name is a monument to his career as a business man. Mr. Boardman was also interested in many other private enterprises. He took an active part in the formation of banks, insurance companies, and manufacturing corpora- tions, and was an officer and director in many of them. Among these may be mentioned the Bank of Hartford County (American National), the Merchants and Manufacturers Bank (First ISTational), the Orient Fire Insurance Company, the City Fire Insurance Company, the Mechanics Bank and Building Association (Mechanics Savings Bank), the Hart- ford and New York Steamboat Company, the Merrick Thread Company, of Holyoke, Mass., the Hudson River Water Power & Paper Company, of Mechanicsville, N. Y., the Comstock & Ferre Seed Company and others. He was an original sub- scriber to the stock of the City Fire Insurance Company, the Merchants Fire Insurance Company, the Phoenix Fire Insurance Company, the Orient Fire Insurance Company, and the Hartford Engineering Company. In 1836, and for several years thereafter, he was secretary and a director of the Wethersfield Mutual Fire Insurance Company. He was largely interested in proving the feasibility and cheapness of peat as a fuel. At one time he was associated with Henry Martin in the manufacture of the first power machines for making brick in this country; and was president, general agent and manager of the Holbrook School Apparatus Com- pany for the making of instruments showing the revolution of the solar system, and of other instruments connected with 33 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. the education of children. He was president of the Hartford Associated Coal Company, a company which was formed just after the Civil War, to enable consumers to receive their coal at the cost of mining, etc., and which, owing to the general collapse in mercantile values, did not prove a success. He was also associated with others in building several vessels of large size^ among which were the schooners " William Board- man," " M. M. Merriman," " A. J. Bentley," " Sarah A. Reed," and " Jessie B. Smith," and was interested as part owner in the schooners " J. S. Curtis," " Messenger," " Yankee Boy," " C. S. Hazzard," and " Oliver Spellman." Mr. Boardman never outgrew his early interest in the publication of newspapers. He assisted J. M. Schofield in establishing the Hartford Morning Post in 1858, a dem- ocratic journal, now the Hartford Evening Post and independent. His interest in the Hartford Times continued throughout his life and he was a subscriber from 1820 to his death, a period of sixty-eight years. It should be noted, however, that in most or all the above business enterprises, the financial interest was that of the firm of which he was the senior member, and in many instances the responsibility and labor devolved upon its junior members. During his earlier life in Wethersfield, Mr. Boardman held honorable ofiices. In 1834 he was a director of the State prison, in 1835, 1836 and 1837, constable and collector in the town, and in 1852 he represented Wethersfield in the Legislature, serving on several important committees. He was again appointed a director of the State prison by Governor Thomas H. Seymour, and also commissioner for Hartford County. In politics he was a democrat and a WILLIAM B0ARD3HAN. 33 warm advocate of his party principles, and during the Civil War he was a loyal supporter of the Union. After his re- moval to Hartford in 1857, he invariably refused public office. He was, however, warmly interested in everything that pertained to the welfare of his adopted city, among whose people he had a large acquaintance. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and of the Odd Fellows, in the latter organization holding at one time the office of Noble Grand. His advice on business matters was frequently sought and freely and honestly given, and he was often called upon to settle estates and render other similar services. Mr. Boardman, in his later years especially, had a warm interest in his kindred and was the first president of the Boardman Family Association, which was formed at Xo. 304 Asylum street, August 27, 1886. Some time before his death he subscril:>ed one hundred dollars toward the erection of a monument to his emigrant ancestor in Wethersfield. The religious side of Mr. Boardman's life deserves especial mention. It has been said of him that " To strict integrity, a careful frugality, a true orthodoxy, he joined a clear religious experience." Although he attended early in life the Congregational Church in Wethersfield, both he and his wife became deeply interested in the Methodist Episcopal Church during its struggle to obtain a foothold in that town, and they united with it in 1838, continuing through life its firm friends. At all times he was a liberal donor to the needs of this Church, and as an evidence of the appreciation of his many gifts, and his munificence when its edifice was rebuilt, it was named the Boardman Chapel. Mr. Boardman had a generous instinct which led him to help those whose religious privileges were by any means in jeopardy. He was 6 34 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. at first drawn toward the Methodists by the opposition to them, when they were refused the use of the town hall in Wethersfield for their services, and the excitement was so great that the " riot act " was read to the assembled crowd by Samuel Galpin, Esq. This same generosity made him ever a valued friend of the Methodist Church when in need of his assistance. When he removed to Hartford, he united with the First Methodist Church, of which he was for many years a trustee. He was one of the building committee for the erection of their house of worship on Asylum street, and made a liberal donation to it. Subsequently he became one of the organizers of the South Park Methodist Episcopal Church, and he also contributed a considerable sum for the erection of their building, being a trustee and member of the building committee. One of the acts of his later life was the payment of the mortgage then on the Church and parsonage, thus relieving the society of debt, and this on the condition that there should never be another mortgage. He was elected the first superintendent of its Sunday school, continuing in that capacity until infirmity and advancing age compelled him to resign. In 1885, after the death of his wife, he built the Boardman Memorial Chapel, adjoining the Church, in remembrance of her. It was dedicated with appropriate services, February 23, 1886. The early life of Mr. Boardman was spent in the old Boardman homestead, on Broad street, Wethersfield, but in 1846 he removed thence to the house built by Mrs. Board- man's father, Captain Daniel Francis, on High street. In March, 1857, he came to Hartford to reside in the west half of the double house which had been built by himself and his son William F. J.

He is buried in the Cedar Hill Cemetery, Hartford- There a costly granite monument is erected in memory of himself and his family. It is of Westerly granite, represent- ing the figure Hope, and was modeled by Conrad and executed by Baldi. An account of Mr. Boardman's funeral services and some of the tributes then paid to his character are printed in the Memorial of Mary Francis and William Boardman. In his will Mr. Boardman perpetuated the benevolence of his life by making bequests to the Old People's Home, the Hartford Hospital, the Larabee Fund, the Charitable Society of Hartford, the Fund for Superan- nuated Preachers, the Board of Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and to the Grant Memorial University of Athens, Tenn., for a scholarship. MARY FRANCIS. 3. William Boardman was married by Rev. Caleb J. Tenny in Wethersfield, Conn., January 3, 1828, to MARY FRAITCIS, daughter of Daniel Francis (Xo. 6) and Mehitabel Goodrich (No. 7), who was born in Wethersfield, November 6, 1803. At the time of her birth Capt. Francis was building his new home, a brick house located on the west side of High street, now the residence of Mr. Carlos Dow. The family were then living with Captain Elizur Goodrich, the father of Mrs. Francis. The girlhood of Mrs. Boardman was spent in that town and she was educated in its schools, having also the best of influences at home. After her marriage to Mr. Boardman, she lived the useful and quiet life of a wife and mother, filling her place with more than usual capacity, deeply beloved in her family circle and honored by all who knew her. She was a woman of remarkable kindness and liberality. Tier whole life was one of charity and benevolence to the deserving poor. Not only did she give generously to those in need of aid, but she was constantly a comfort and help to others by her presence and words of sympathy. She was conspicuously engaged in works of public as well as private charity, and was always aided by her husband, who supplied her with abundant means for her benefactions.

During the Civil War she was actively interested, as her husband was, in the welfare of the Union soldiers, and she was one of the officers of the Hartford Soldiers' Aid Association. Mrs. Boardman united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in Wethersfield, in 1838, and transferred her rela- tions with her husband first to the First Methodist Church in Hartford, and later to the South Park Methodist Church. Throughout her church life, she was conspicuously earnest and faithful, a reverent attendant upon religious services and a diligent worker in its ministries. After a long and useful life Mrs. Boardman died in her home No. 36 Buckingham street, December 14, 1884, having suffered a short illness from paralysis. The record of her funeral services is made in the Memorial of Mary Francis and Williatn Boardman, where also are printed extended tributes to her character. The burial was at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Hartford. In memory of his beloved wife, Mary Francis, Mr. William Boardman erected in 1885 the Boardman Memorial Chapel in connection with the South Park Methodist Episcopal Church. The corner-stone was laid on the 4th of August, with appropriate services and the Chapel was dedicated February 23, 1886. A description of this beautiful edifice and a full account of the above exercises are printed in the Boardman " Memorial."

He was educated in the district school and ^-^^ Academy in Wethersfield, and afterward attended the Wesleyan Academy in Wilbraham, Mass. In April, 1850, having finished his school life, he returned to his home in his native tovni, and later, preferring a business to a profes- sional career, he began as a clerk in a country store m New Britain, Coim., with a salary of fifty dollars a year anH board in the family of his employer. Here he remained until he accepted a position with his father and brother in Hartford, and in 1853 he was admitted into partnership with them. His business life thereafter, for many years, was merged in that of the firm. He shared in its labors and was interested in its enterprises. In due time, when the health of his older brother became impaired and the responsibility of the business devolved largely upon him, in full sympathy with the aims, principles and methods of the firm, he sought to fulfill its success. When the older brother, William F. J. Boardman, decided to retire from business in 1888, he sold his interest to Thomas J. and Howard F. Boardman, who assumed the entire control, the former becoming the Presi- dent of the company when it was incorporated January 1, 40 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. 1897. Mr. Boardman is well known among those who are engaged in the same line of business and is President of the Wholesale Grocers' Association of Southern l!^ew Eng- land. The extensive business of which Mr. Boardman has been for many years the head, has so demanded his time that he has been forced to refuse outside engagements. He was a member of the large lumber firm of J. W. Starkweather & Company, and the firm of Fox, Brusselar & Company, decorators and furnishers. When the present school building of the South District, Hartford, was built, he was one of the committee and had immediate direction of the work, to which he gave constant attention. In 1876 he was president of the Newsboys' Reading Room Association. Though often urged to do so, he has always declined political office. He is a member of the Connecticut Historical Society, the Sons of the American Revolution, and the Connecticut Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, holding the ofiice of historian and registrar of the latter or- ganization and being one of its councillors. He is also the president of the Boardman Family Association. Although Mr. Boardman was brought up as a Methodist, he became in early life a convert to the Universalist faith and united with that Church in 1863. He was long con- nected with the Sunday school of the Church of the Redeemer in Hartford, as teacher, assistant superintendent, and presi- dent of the teachers' association. For many years he was an active worker in the church, serving as a member of its board of trustees and one of its chief supporters. He w,as also for many years on the State Missionary Board of the Universalist Church, and trustee for the State of Connecticut THOMAS JEFFERSON BOARDMAN. 41 in the TJniversalist Publishing House in Boston. His residence is at No. 77 Buckingham street, Hartford. Mr. Boardman was married, 1st, October 14, 1858, by Eev. Harvey Moore, at No. 642 Main street, Hartford, to Julia Amanda Ellis, who was born January 29, 1838, and died November 24, 1858, leaving no children. He was married, 2nd, October 24, 1861, by Rev. Asher Moore, in the Church of the Eedeemer, Hartford, to Mary Charlina Ellis, a sister of his first wife, who was bom September 11, 1843, and died January 16, 1890. These wives of Mr. Boardman were the daughters of Gregory Ellis and Amy Amanda Mellen of Warren, Mass. He was married, 3rd, by Rev. Alonzo A. Wood, in Stapleton, Staten Island, April 29, 1893, to Mary Adah Simpson, daughter of Frederick Hampton Simpson of Staten Island, N. Y., and Lydia Gardner Young, and grand-daughter of William Henry and Adah Dean Young. She was born in Windham, Conn., November 9, 1860, and was a descendant of Governor Bradford. The children of Thomas Jefferson Boardman and Mary Charlina Ellis are as follows: I. Howard Francis, born September 22, 1862, in Hartford.

She attended the district school and academy / of that town and was later a pupil in the Hartford Female Seminary in Hartford. In 1857 she removed with her parents to Hartford. Then began an interest in the religious and benevolent work of that city which has continued for many years. She united in 1857 with the First Methodist Episcopal Church, then located on Trumbull street. When this organization, in 1859, commenced to raise funds for a new church edifice, she zealously labored in that cause as one of the " Daughters of the New Temple." About 1866 she became interested in a movement for a Methodist church in the south part of the town, and was appointed one of a committee of two to furnish the house formerly occupied by General William Hayden, which was called The Chapel. This building was located just north of where the South Park Methodist Episcopal Church now stands and the church was the outcome of that enterprise, being organized in 1869, and their present edifice being dedicated in 1875. In 1861 she began teaching a class of boys in the Sunday School of the First Methodist Episcopal Church and her pupils followed her to the new church. There she also taught a class of 44 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. young ladies for many years. Later she was much engaged in the Chinese department of this Sunday school. One of her pupils, Wing Lee, encouraged by her efforts and assisted financially by her and others, secured an education, spending one year at the Northfield School of Mr. Moody and after- wards studying at a University in Canton, China. He is now a minister preaching at Hong Kong. To other mis- sionary interests she has given liberally of her time, strength and means, being for eleven years Corresponding Secretary of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and connected with the King's Daughters, assisting Mrs. Ballington Booth in her prison work, with the Social Settlement of Hartford, the Children's Aid Society, and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She is also a member of the Ruth Wyllys Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Connecticut Humane Society, and other organizations. She and Mr. David A. Spear built the new parsonage of the South Park Methodist Episcopal Church on Jefferson street, the old parsonage being exchanged for the land. On the 28th of December, 1870, Mary Lucinda Board- man was married at No. 36 Buckingham street, by Rev. N. G. Cheney, to George Woodward Atwood, son of Anson Lucius Atwood and Eliza Ann Hooker of Bristol, Conn. He was born August 8, 1841. Mr. Atwood was prepared for college at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass., but was obliged to surrender the hope of a college course on account of the impairment of his eyesight. For many years he was employed in the office of The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company. Later he devoted his attention entirely to the business of a florist, achieving remarkable MARY LUCINDA BOARDMAN ATWOOD. 46 success in the cultivation of flowers. The exhibitions of flowering plants which he gave were noted for their beauty. Mr. Atwood was a member of the South Park Methodist Episcopal Church, and was for many years greatly interested in its Sunday school work. He was chosen the second Superintendent of the school on the retirement of Mr. William Boardman and served successfully until he retired with the honor of being chosen Superintendent Emeritus. He held every ofiice of trust in connection with this church and society. In 1895, in company with Mrs. Atwood, he made a tour of Europe and the Holy Land. The death of Mr. Atwood occurred in Hartford October 23, 1895, and his remains are buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery. He is survived by his wife, who resides at No. 26 Whitney street, Hartford. George Woodward Atwood and Mary Lucinda Boardman had one child, Greorge Boardman, who was bom in Hartford, May 25, 1872, and died there March 12, 1885. He was a child of much promise, thoughtful beyond his years and con- scientious in doing that which he thought was right. Before he was eleven years old he established a little monthly paper, edited and printed by himself, and regularly issued for a considerable period with success. He had become a member of the South Park Methodist Church and was deeply inter- ested in its religious services and work. ANCESTORS OF THE THIRD GENERATION LUCINDA CANFIELD BOARDMAN 1786-ia50 THIRD GENERATION 4. JOSEPH SIMEON BOARDMAN, son of Levi Bord- man (No. 8) and Esther Bordman (No. 9), was born in Wethersfield, Conn., May 3, 1780. He was a cordwainer d^^^t^yv'-yyf by trade. Early in 1804 he removed to Lenox, Mass., where he was successfully engaged in the business of tanning. Late in the year following he returned to his native town, his wife, it is said, refusing to sigTi the deed conveying his place in Lenox, which was situated in the center of that town. After his removal to Wethersfield he lived for some years on the west side of the highway from Broad street to South Lane, next north of the Appleton Bobbins place. In 1816 he purchased his father's old homestead on Broad street, and resided there until his death. After his return from Lenox, Mr. Boardman appears to have devoted his attention somewhat to the shipping business, then of considerable local importance. An examination of several account books and diaries kept by him with the great- est care up to the time of his death, reveals many interesting details of his life. It is learned that while he spent a con- siderable portion of his time at his trade and in farming, he was also engaged in sending large quantities of onions, then the staple crop of Wethersfield, to New York, and sell- ing them there on commission. It was while acting a? 50 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. supercargo on board the sloop " Eliza " on her passage to New York, that he lost his life by shipwreck, November 13, 1827. He sailed from home on the 10th of November and the ship was driven ashore on Long Island in a storm on the night of the 13th, all on board being lost. His body was found on the beach the next morning by the inhabitants of Southhold, who caused it to be interred in a decent manner with religious services. On the 20th of that month his family heard of his death and his son William went to Long Island and brought the body to Wethersfield, where it was reinterred. His epitaph is as follows : The Grave of | Joseph S. Board- man, I who was I Drowned by Shipwreck in Long | Island Sound on his | passage to New York, | Nov. 13, 1827. | Aged 47 Years. Mr. Boardman was a gentleman of strong religious convictions. He became a member of the Congregational church in 1816, during the closing years of the Rev. Dr. Marsh's long service as pastor, and throughout his life, was a zealous worker in the cause of religion. In 1817, he was one of the fifteen men who formed the " Wethersfield Religious Society of Young Men." His private diary, from which extracts of considerable length are given in the Board- man Genealogy, is a witness to the earnestness and sincerity of his Christian life. Concerning his character his son. Dr. Joseph Canfield Boardman, wrote in 1893 as follows: " In regard to incidents in my father's life, Joseph Simeon Board- man, I cannot report anything very striking. His life was wholly devoted to the love of God. He was very conscien- tious in every event or circumstance of his life. He would suffer rather than to offend any one in the slightest degree, or in any way that seemed to be an injury to another. He < « o I— ( '"' o tn w m o d2 THIRD GENERATION. 51 never was in robust health and yet seldom ill. My mother once said to me, ' Your father says he never had a really well day in his life.' Whilst his means were quite limited, we had a plenty. Our family was called the ' happy Board- man family.' " The inventory of Mr. Boardman's estate, taken May 21, 1828, amounted to $1,155.57 and included his homestead of two acres and twenty rods with dwelling house and out buildings.

DANIEL FEANCIS, son of John Francis (No. 12) and Rhoda Wright (No. 13), was bom in Wethersfield, Conn., December 6, 1770, and lived in that town on High street, in the substantial brick house built by him in 1803, and now occupied by Mr. Carlos E. Dow. He was a well- known sea captain, and was master on many vessels sailing to the West Indies and other ports. He made frequent voyages from Hartford to New York and Philadelphia, in the sloops " Lucy " and " Eliza," between the years 1810 and 1821, transporting freight for Elisha Shepard & Sons of Hartford ; and he was himself a part owner in several vessels. In 1795, he was mate on the ship " Minerva," Captain Frederick Seymour, master. While in command of the brig " Elsa," 92 tons burthen, which sailed froip New London December 25, 1796, bound for the West Indies, his vessel was captured by the French privateers " La Pensy " and " La Thetis," on January 16, 1797, on the high seas. The " Elsa " was taken to Guadaloupe, where her cargo, which consisted of cattle, salt beef, grain and sundries, and was mostly the property of Nathaniel Eaton, was confiscated. Captain Francis had on board a " venture " in merchandise valued at $225.75, and like the rest of the ship's cargo, it was a total loss. Under the French spoliation claims, urged by the United States, reimbursement was made by the French Government for losses sustained to our commerce. i770-i8.-?7. 2 ■Si < a. < a K H < Z < O THIRD GENERATION. 63 About ninety years after this settlement was made, the heirs of Captain Francis were paid their share of his loss.

LEVI B0RDMA:N', son of Joseph Bordman (No. 16) and Mary Belden (No. 17), was born in Wethersfield, Conn., May 6, 1739. He is known to have had a liberal education. During a portion of his life, at least, he was a schoolmaster, and sometimes received pupils at his home for instruction. He taught the South School in Wethersfield in 1771, and the Broad Street School in 1778. His library included books in Greek and Latin, indicating that he was a student in those languages. Levi Bordman was one of the Selectmen of Wethersfield for the years 1773, 1774, and 1775, and in this official capacity he certified to the muster-roll of Captain John Chester's company of one hundred and fifteen men, at the starting of that body for the relief of Boston in the Lexing- ton Alarm in April, 1775. In this company were four Bord- mans, one of whom was Samuel, a brother of Levi. In 1774, he was one of the contributors to a fund " to relieve and incourage the inhabitants of Boston under their present unparalleled suffering in the General Cause of American Liberty." [MSS. in possession of the late Judge S. W. Adams.] In the year following, he assisted his brother, Samuel, in establishing a saltpetre manufactory at Wethers- field, and furnished the material employed in the manufac- 8 58 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. tiire of this article, large quantities of which were made for use in the Revolutionary War. Levi and Samuel Bordman also built and owned the sloop " Ann," Lemuel Doming, Master, which was used to convey a company of seventy-two soldiers, under Captain John Hanmer, from Wethersfield to Kew York, at the time of the Long Island invasion, August 23, 17Y6. Levi Bordman was a soldier in the War of the Revolu- tion. He served in the company of Captain Elijah Wright, Colonel Roger Enos' Regiment, arriving in camp on the Hudson river, June 29, 1778. It is probable that he did earlier service, perhaps enlisting in the company of Captain Wright in 1776, when as the third company of the Third Battalion, it served under General Wooster near New York. [^History of Wethersfield, I: 465, 509; Connecticut Men in the Revolution, pp. 424, 539.] He had a full military equipment, including a breastplate marked " L. Bordman." It is known that he died of a wound in the leg, probably received in this service. Mr. Bordman is said to have lived for some years after his marriage in the house of his ancestor, Samuel Boreman, corner of Broad street and Fletcher Lane. Included in the inventory of his property was a tavern sign, which leads to the conjecture that he kept a public-house there, for it is known that this building was used for that purpose. It is believed that Mr. Bordman was keeping this tavern when, on September 19, 1765, Stamp-Master Jared Ingersoll was forced by the " Sons of Liberty," who had gathered under the great elm tree in front of Colonel John Chester's house next adjoining, to enter this tavern, and there sign a written resignation of his office. Esther Bordman, wife of Levi, in FOURTH GENERATION. 59 a deposition dated " Wethersfield, November 17, 1779," says: " When Col. S. B. Webb's regiment passed through this town on its way to Rhode Island, Levi Lattimer came to the dwelling house of my husband and boarded with the family while they remained here. I washed and mended his clothes. My son provided a horse for him to ride on as far as Bolton and went with him." Mr. Bordman died in Wethersfield, March 22, 1782. The inventory of his estate amounted to £1023 15s. 3d. and included more than 100 acres of land. 9. Levi Bordman married in Wethersfield, April 23, 1761, ESTHER BORDMAN, daughter of Gamaliel Bordman (No. 18) and Sarah Sherman (No. 19), and great-great- grand-daughter of Samuel Boreman, the settler. She was born in Newington Parish, Wethersfield, December 22, 1743. After the death of Levi Bordman she married, November 11, 1784, William Warner, and died September 1, 1797.

JOSEPH CANFIELD, son of Joel Canfield (No. 20), and Esther Moss (No. 21), was born in Wallingford, Conn., in 1744 and removed with his parents to Chester in the same 60 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. state when about four years of age. At the death of his father in 1761, he was just coming to manhood. From this estate there fell to him a part of the homelot, fourteen acres in the Pond Hill farm in Chester and land in East Hampton. He was made a freeman in Chester, April 12, 1772, and resided in that town until sometime during the earlier years of the Revolutionary War, when he removed to Salisbury, Conn. Joseph Canfield united with his brother Joel and sisters Esther Comstock and Mary Holmes, April 20, 1768, in a deed of land in Chester to his brother Samuel, and also with his brothers Samuel Canfield of Marlow, N. H., Hezekiah and Isaiah Canfield of Saybrook, and sisters Esther and Mary, February 8, 1773, in a deed to his brother Joel Can- field. [Saybrook Land Records, VIII: 459, 460.] About this time his brother, Joel, gave a bond to secure to him a one-third interest in the privilege of fishing at " Canfield's fishing place " on the Connecticut river. [Ibid. IX: 83, 84.] He also received, December 20, 1773, from his brother Isaiah and sister Esther Comstock all their right in their mother's third interest in their father's estate [Ibid. VIII: 485; IX: 84 J. In 1774, he is mentioned in a deed as " Joseph Can- field of Saybrook," and was then living in that p^rt of the town afterwards set off as Chester. Joseph Canfield became interested in the mines that were located in Salisbury, which were very actively worked during the Revolution, and where many cannon were made. Three generations afterwards, some stock in a mine there, which had so greatly depreciated that it was thought to be valueless, was sold by his descendants at a large price. It seems likely that the investments of Joseph Canfield declined in value FOURTH GENERATION. 61 after the war and that he was a heavy loser. About 1813, he returned to Chester to live with or near his children who had remained there. His son, Joseph, who was a promising lawyer in Salisbury, a representative to the General Assembly from that town in 1798 and 1799, died at the early age of thirty-five in 1803. The death of Joseph Canfield occurred in Chester, where he is buried, his epitaph being as follows : In | Memory of | Joseph Canfield | who died June 1, 1814 | in the 70th year | of his age. 11. The wife of Joseph Canfield was HANNAH HAR- RISON, daughter of Rev. Jared Harrison (No. 22) and Hannah Waterhouse (No. 23), whom he married in Chester about 1765. An old account book of her son-in-law, Joseph Simeon Boardman, shows that on the 1st of July following her husband's death Mr. Boardman went to Chester " to fetch up her things " and that she lived with her daughter Lucinda in Wethersfield much of her time thereafter.

Epitaph — In | ^^^J^ -^^r2i.^^x-<^ . Memory of | Capt. John Francis, | who died j May 30, 1824, I ae. 80. The Middlesex Gazette of June 2, 1824, says he died on " Sunday " which was the 31st. Captain Francis had a long and honorable service in the War of the American Revolution. His grandson, Mr. Anson W. Francis, states that " he was not absent from his com- mand to exceed four months after he enlisted, during the war." The existing records fully bear out this statement. We find that John Francis was Sergeant in Captain Hezekiah Welles' Company from Wethersfield, of Colonel Wolcott's Regiment of colonial troops, December, 1775, to February, 1776. In 1778, he was Second Lieutenant of Captain Elijah Wright's Company, in Colonel Enos' Regiment, which was operating on the Hudson, arriving in camp there June 29, 1778. He was First Lieutenant of Captain Samuel Granger's Company, in Colonel Levi Welles' Regiment, which served at Horseneck, and along the coast of Long Island Sound during 1780, and was Captain of the First Company of Wethersfield, in the Provisional Regiment, organized in 1781.

JOHN FRANCIS HOMESTEAD, WETHERSFIELD Built before iSco. As it appeared in 1Q04 FOURTH GENERATION. 63 From the State Records of Connecticut covering the period of the Revolutionary War, we learn that " John Francis of Wethersfield " was appointed by the General As- sembly, June 10, 1777, Ensign of Captain Nathaniel Bun- nell's Company of Wallingford, Conn. He also received the following appointments from the same source : — Ensign in the " battalions to be raised for the state to continue in the same until the first day of January next," in May, 1777 ; Ensig-n of the second company of the Alarm list in the 6th Regiment of this state, in January, 1778, and Lieutenant of the same company in May of the same year; Second Lieu- tenant in the First Battalion of Captain Elijah Wright's Company " now being raised in this state " in June, 1778 ; Lieutenant in the two regiments of militia " being raised," in May, 1779 ; Lieutenant in Captain Samuel Granger's Company, First Regiment of troops, " for the defense of this state " in January, 1780, " to continue in service until the first day of January next ;" Captain of the Second Com- pany of the Alarm list in the 6th Regiment of the state, in April, 1780. Captain Francis was frequently elected to office in his town. He was chosen a Representative to the General As- sembly from Wethersfield in 1800 ; and was a Grand Juror in 1771; Lister (or Assessor) in 1782; Constable, 1782, 1785, 1795, 1797, and 1803; Collector, 1785, 1788, 1792, 1797, and 1802 ; and Fish inspector in 1786 and 1791. His account book shows that he was Committee man of the Second School District in 1807 and at that time owner or part owner of the sloop " Lucy." In 1816 his son Captain Daniel Francis was in command of this sloop. 64 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. The home of Captain Francis in the later yea,rs of his life was on the corner of Hartford avenue, formerly called Sandy Lane, and Prison street. South of his residence was that of Captain James Francis, and still further south the three and one half acre lot of Robert Francis, recorded in 1652. This house of Captain John Francis he built in 1797, and an account of the expenses, in the possession of the author, shows the entire cost to have been $945.49. It is built of brick and was of excellent construction for the time. The ell was built in 1807. This house is now standing and is doubly interesting as the home of an honored officer in the Revolutionary War. Administration was issued on the estate of Captain Francis to his son Elias, July 12, 1824, and his inventory amounted to $3,512.44. It included his home lot of two acres, two meadow lots, 65 acres in the west swamp, a mountain lot of 28 acres and a wood lot in Eastbury.

ELIZUR GOODRICH, son of Hezekiah Goodrich (No. 28) and Honor Deming (No. 29), was bom in Wethersfield, Conn., October 8, 1730, and died March 16, 1785, of small- pox, on the Island of Marie-Galante, one of the French West Indies. He was buried under a large tree there, and his /:^C^ name was cut in the bark to mark his grave. Captain Goodrich, as the place of his death suggests, was a seafaring man, and was a part owner of several vessels engaged in the West Indian trade. In October, 1776, when the supply of salt for the use of the Connecticut troops had reached a low point, he was granted special permis- sion to make a voyage with his sloop " Betsey," in search of this most necessary article. 9 66 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. During the War of the American Revolution, Captain Goodrich rendered valuable service to his country. He was a private in the 2nd Conn. Regiment, Joseph Spencer, Colonel, 9th Company, from Wethersfield, under the com- mand of Captain John Chester at the Battle of Bunker Hill, enlisting May 15, and being discharged December 17, 1775. He served as private. in Colonel Wolcott's Regiment, 3rd Company, Selah Hart, Captain, from January to March, 1777. He was also Sergeant in Lieutenant David Smith's Company of Colonel Thomas Belden's Regiment, enlisting April 13, and being discharged May 19, 1777. As one of the two Representatives from Wethersfield, Captain Elizur Goodrich was present at the first session of the Connecticut Legislature held after the Declaration of Independence. This session opened at New Haven, October 10, 1776, and continued until ISTovember 7. He was also elected Representative in 1778. The following records are found in Wethersfield: "At a town meeting held in Wethersfield Sept. 29, 1777, Messrs. Elizur Goodrich, Chester Wells, Appleton Robbins, Elijah Wright, James Stanley, Joseph Bulkley, Martin Kellogg, Janna Deming, and Lieut. Isaac Nash were chosen a committee to immediately procure the several articles mentioned in the request of the Gov. and Council of Safety of Sept. 12, 1777, and transmit the same to Mr. Elijah Hubbard, Commis- sary at Middletown, to be conveyed by him to the respective Commis- saries of the Battalions of the Continental Army raised in this state," etc." "At a town meeting of Wethersfield held June 19, 1780 — Foied that Mr. Elizur Goodrich, John Robbins, Martin Kellogg and Solomon Dunham be a committee to borrow the money necessary to pay the bounty offered by the town, on interest until the town shall replace the same, and settle with the enlisted persons and take their receipt for the same." Captain Goodrich's home was on the west side of High street in Wethersfield.

On learning of the Battle of Lexington, Captain Goodrich removed the lead weights from the windows of his house, moulded them into huUets, and sent the ammunition thus obtained to Boston. He numbered among his most intimate friends Silas Deana, Colonel John Chester, and other Wethersfield patriots. Administration on the estate of Captain Goodrich was granted to his wife Abigail, June 28, 1Y85, and his inventory was taken January 4, 178Y. It shows that he owned a considerable estate in lands and one-third of the sloop "Sally." [Hartford Probate Records, XXIII: 169, 283.] 15.

His home was in Wethersfield and he was one of those who drew lands in the allotment of 1694. He was Collector in 1691, Lister in 1669 and 1711, Surveyor of Highways in 1706, and was very often chosen to serve on local committees. He was called " Clerk " in 1705 and afterwards, from which it would appear that he was an officer in the trainband. The epitaph on his gravestone in the Wethersfield cemetery is as follows: Here | lieth the | body of | Joseph Belding, | who deceased | Desem'r ye 7th 1724; | aged 62 years.

She left a will which mentions her daughters Sarah Bumhami, Mary Boardman, and Esther Wolcott, among whom her movable estate was divided, and three sons Joseph, Thomas, and Amos. To Mary Boardman she made the following bequest : " one Sorill mare which was of the estate of my brother, John Meekings."

RICHARD BORDMAN, son of Daniel Bordman (No. 72) and Hannah Wright (No. 73), was born in Wethers- field, Conn., September 1, 1684. He received from his father, March 23, 1710-11, two tracts of land in the section SIXTH GENERATION. 91 of Wethersfield then known as Cow Plain, but now the tovm of Newington, one of which contained six acres with a dwelling house standing thereon. He settled in this section, and took an active part in the formation of the new parish of Newington. He was chosen to serve on many important committees, such as the committee to collect the minister's rates, to build a house for the minister, to select and lay out a burying ground, and the school committee. Richard Bordman was one of the largest farmers in the Newington section. In 1744 his tax list amounted to £120 4s. He received his commission as Ensign of the trainband, October 13, 1726, and as Lieutenant, May 13, 1736. This was the first trainband formed in Kewington. A bill of sale in the possession of Mr. Wm. F. J. Board- man, shows that Lieutenant Richard Bordman sold Septem- ber 30, 1725, to Thomas Seymour of Hartford, for £60 lawful tender, a negro man named " London " or " Lunon." He was afterwards sold to Colonel Chester, and it is said that he was at one time the "negro Governor of Con- necticut." The Church records give the death of Lieutenant Richard Bordman as August 7, 1756, but the epitaph on his grave- stone in the Newington cemetery is as follows: Here lies Interr'd | the Body of Lieu' | Richard Boardman | Who Departed this | Life Aug"' y« 7'M A: D 1755 : In y" 71st | vear of his Age. 92 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. 37.

[New Haven Land Records, III : 140.] He owned other lands there and in West Haven, SIXTH GENERATION. 93 the latter as we are informed in a deed of part of it, May 7, 1729, " a lott that belonged to our Honoured father Mr. Sam" Burwell, Late of ISTew Haven Deceased." [Ibid. VIII: 155, 156.] He and his wife received land from the other heirs of Samuel Burwell in 1738. [Ibid. XI: 26.] Mr. Nathaniel Sherman died in ISTew Haven, September 7, 1750. He was buried in the ancient burying ground which surrounded the First Church, and his gravestone with that of his wife, and father, was removed in 1821 to the cemetery on Grove street. His epitaph is as follows: Memento Mori | Here lyes y* | Body of M' | l^athanael Sherman | who Departed | this Life Sept^'. | y* 7*^ A.D. 1750 I Aged 65 years. Administration on his estate was issued October 11, 1750, to his son-in-law, James ITorton of Milford, and a receipt for the proportion of each heir was filed in March, 1757. [N'ew Haven Probate Records, VII: 670; IX: 38.] In effecting this settlement, a deed was executed, September 30, 1751, by Job and Esther Prudden, James and Rebecca ISTorton, and Joseph and Frances Bellamy, conveying their interest in the homestead of their father, and a piece of land in ISJ'ew Haven to Gamaliel and Sarah Boardman and Daniel and Rhoda Brinsmade.

THOMAS CANFIELD, son of Thomas Canfield (No. 80) and Rebecca Adkinson (No. 81), was bom in Milford, SIXTH GENERATION. 95 Corm.., January 5, 1680. His father died when he was nine years of age, and his mother married April 28, 1695, Samuel Camp. Thomas Canfield inherited some property from his father and a small legacy from his grandmother, Phebe Canfield. His home was in Milford for many years, though he seems to have had interests elsewhere. In deeds of land which he held there, he is called a " carpenter," a trade which his father had followed to some extent. And he is also said to have been a blacksmith and wheelwright. In a certain deed from Joseph Peck to him, February 13, 1716-7, he is called " merchant " and his account book which has survived, shows that he had charges against persons in Milford, Derby, Middletown, New Milford, Durham, and Saybrook for rum, sugar, molasses, thread, needles, pins, etc., doubtless in many cases supplies furnished to families who emigrated to those towns from Milford. On October 11, 1726, Thomas Canfield bought of William Salter of Boston, for £75, a tract of land in Wallingford consisting of 82 acres, which had been laid out to Samuel Koys and was located at a place called " West-Rocks " (Cheshire). [Wallingford Land Records, V: 326.] This land he held until 1747 when a part of it was sold to Samuel Thompson. He afterwards owned other lands in that town, being called in a deed of December 6, 1729, "Thomas Canfield of Milford." [Ibid. VI: 213], and in deeds of 1730 and later "Thomas Canfield of Durham." [Ibid. VI: 379, 380, 661; VII: 250, 526; X: 290, 430.] As early as 1725, he owned land in Durham, and in 1731 he made several purchases there. [Durham Land Records, V: 34, 43.] Later he became a large land owner in that 96 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. town, and deeded land to his son, Gideon, in 1746 and 1749, and to his son, John, in 1753. [Ibid. VI: 11, 75, 222.] On December 17, 1731, he also bought of Joseph Sanford, 100 acres of land in Haddam, and in 1732 and 1734, land in Middletown. [Middletown Land Records, V: 408, 439; VII: 121.] Samuel Willard of Saybrook deeded to him, October 24, 1749, land in Chester. [Say- brook Land Records, VI: 519.] Mr. Canfield spent the last thirty years of his life in Durham, and was one of the most prominent men in that town. He died in 1760 and his gravestone in the old bury- ing ground bears the following epitaph : In | Memory of | Mr. Thomas | Canfield | who died Dec^ | 1^' A.D. 1760 | In the 80*^ Year | of His | Age | Blessed are the dead ] that die in the Lord. The will of Thomas Canfield, dated April 2, 1759, leaves to his wife, Ann, in addition to what is contained in a jointure between them, " one years provisions," " two rooms in the house," and a " black apron and handkerchief." To the son, Joel, is bequeathed one chest in addition to lands given him, which are 200 acres in Middletown, and 75 acres in Hatfield. Thomas had £25 in addition to what he had already received. Gideon inherited the rest of his 70 acre lot, part having been given to John, who also received "10 acres by Cruttenden " and 20 acres " at the mountains in Wallingford." A daughter Mary " incapable of caring for herself " is to be cared for by his daughters Hannah Baldwin and Ann Coe, to whom he gives lands in Farming- ton, a right in Hampshire bought of Jonathan Phelps, a 50 acre lot in Granville and 26 acres in Killingworth. The inventory of his estate amounted to £671 6s. 5 l-2d. [Middletown Probate Records, II: 71, 79.] SIXTH GENERATION. 97 41. Thomas Canfield married 1st, in Milford, January 3, 1705-6, MARY CAMP, daughter of Samuel Camp (No. 82) and Mary Camp (No. 83). She was born in Milford, January ( ?) 21, 1684-5. The Milford church records have the following entry under May, 1685 : " Mary, daughter of brother Samuel Camp, Sen., baptized at Darby in the time of vacancy in this church." She died in Durham and her epitaph is as follows : In Memory of | Mrs. Mary | Wife of Mr. I Thomas Canfield | who died July 30, | 1740 | In the 57*^ Year | of Her | Age. Thomas Canfield married, 2nd, in . Durham, November 26, 1740, Margaret Brainard, whose epitaph in the old burying ground at Durham reads: In Memory of | Mrs. Margaret | Wife of Mr. | Thomas | Canfield | who died March | 15'^^ 1757 | In Her 59''* | Year.

He received bv deed from his father, January 26, 1714, his home lot, orchard, house and pasture in Wallingford, and his brother John Moss deeded to him his interest in the homestead that was his father's. May 17, 1720. [Wallingford Land Records, II: 495; III: 320.] This was his home and passed to his descendants. He also owned other lands in Wallingford, but was not an extensive land owner. He deeded, later, one-half of his homestead to his son Theophilus, and doubtless lived with him the latter part of his life. In 1742, he deeded to his son Isaiah land laid out to him on the right of his sister, Mary Munson. He was a Deacon in the church there for many years. Deacon Samuel Moss died in Wallingford, July 29, 1765. He is buried in the cemetery in the center of the village and his gravestone bears the following epitaph : In Memory j of M"" Deacon | Samuel Moss | he Died July y' 29'*' | 1765 in y* 85''' year ] of his Age. | The Sweet Remembrance of The just I Shall flourish When they Sleep in Dust. In his SIXTH GENERATION. 99 will, dated July 5, 1749, Samuel Moss bequeathed to his wife, Susannah, the use of one-half of the homestead and one-third of his movable estate. He also mentioned his sons, Theophilus, Samuel, and Isaiah, and his six daughters, Martha the wife of Samuel Royse, Esther the wife of Joel Canfield, Sarah the wife of Jonathan Chapin, Keziah the wife of Isaac Lewis, Bethiah, the wife of John Canfield, and Lois the wife of David Cook, Jr. " To the first or eldest Church of Christ in said Wallingford " he bequeathed three pounds. [Xew Haven Probate Records, X: 285, 286.] On October 23, 1765, the daughters agreed to a division of the movable estate according to the will, " leaving Mother Moss her thirds." In this agreement, Esther Canfield is termed " Administrator of Joel Canfield's estate of Say- brook." [Wallingford Land Records, XVI; 249.] 43. The marriage of Samuel Moss is recorded at Walling- ford as follows : " Sam" Mof maried Suseanah Hall bv M' Street 15*** of Defember, 1703-4."

SAMUEL HARRISON, son of Thomas Harrison (No. 88) and Elizabeth Stent (No. 89), was born in Branford, Conn,, August 11, 1672. He lived in that part of the town afterwards included in the parish of North Branford and OAvned a large farm there. He was for years an officer of the trainband, being promoted from Sergeant to Ensign in 1697, to Lieutenant in 1709, and made Captain of the North Com- pany in 1731. The death of Samuel Harrison occurred June 30, 1731 ( ?). Administration on his estate was issued to his widow, Elizabeth, January 7, 1733-4, and she was made guardian of Jared and James, minor children. The inventory of his estate amounted to £2,845 15s. 7d. and he owned several tracts of land including his home lot of 29 acres, the " Sib- bies Hill farm " located just north of the center of North Branford and valued at £485, land adjoining " Great Sea Hill," one-third part of " Harrison's Neck," and 88 acres in Litchfield, Conn. His estate also included a negro man named " Zippah " valued at £105 and a negro girl named SIXTH GENERATION. 101 " Crodah " and her child. [Guilford Probate Eecords, III : 104, 114, 121, 132.] 45. The wife of Samuel Harrison was ELIZABETH DENI- SON, daughter of James Denison (No. 90) and Bethia Bojkin (No. 91), whom he married July 3, 1707. She was born in East Haven, Conn., November 21, 1681, and died in Branford in 1757. Administration was issued on her estate to her eldest son Samuel, March 15, 1757, who, with James and Jared, are mentioned in the distribution.

ABRAHAM WATERHOUSE, son of Abraham Water- house (No. 92) and Hannah Starkie (No. 93), was born in Saybrook, Conn., July 18, 1700. He was one of the earliest and largest proprietors of Pattecunk lands, or Chester, in the town of Saybrook, and is said to have removed thence in 1733, and to have built a house there, which became known as " Proprietor's Tavern," and later as the " Minister's Tavern." In May, 1739, " Abraham Waterus " and others, " being inhabitants of the north parish of Saybrook, living at a place called Pattecunk," presented to the General Court a memorial 102 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. asking to be made a separate society, and their request was granted in May, 1740. [^Connecticut Colonial Records, VIII : 242, 243, 344, 345.] Three years later, upon the memorial of the society of Chester, the Assembly granted " power to Captain Abraham Waterhouse of said parish to gather and collect " a tax laid on the unimproved lands for defraying the parish charges. [Ibid. VIII: 528.] Probably he was the Abraham Waterhouse who had been received into the Saybrook Church July 3, 1737. He seems to have been one of the most interested persons of the parish in religious matters. In October, 1741, he was commissioned Captain of the 13th company, a trainband in the 7th Regiment of the Colony [Ibid. VIII: 419] ; and in October, 1746, he was empowered to sell lands in Chester. [Ibid. IX: 245, 246.] He was made a Justice of the Peace of New London county in 1748, and was for many years one of the most prominent men in Chester. On April 11, 1758, he conveyed to his son, Abraham, also of Chester, one-half of all his farm lands of two hundred acres, on which he then dwelt. [Saybrook Land Records, VII : 435.] The exact date of his death is unknown to us, but he appears to have been living in 1765, when his son is called '' Junior." 47. Abraham Waterhouse married, in Wethersfield, Conn., about 1726, ABIGAIL WOLCOTT, daughter of Samuel W^olcott (No. 94) and Abigail Collins (No. 95), who was bom in Wethersfield, June 3, 1707. Captain Samuel Wolcott of Wethersfield in his will dated August 29, 1734, mentions his daughter, Abigail, the wife of Abraham Water- house.

He bore the title " Corporal," and later was called " Sergeant Francis," which indicates that he performed some military service and he may have had experience in the earlier Indian wars. Sergeant Francis was elected Constable in Wethersfield in 1692, Sheepmaster in 1697, Collector in 1702, and Surveyor of Highways in 1705. In 1707, he was licensed to be a tavern keeper and is known to have been so engaged. John Francis died in Wethersfield, December 28, 1711, a few days before the death of his father, leaving an estate inventoried at £713 7s. All of his thirteen living children are mentioned in the distribution of his estate, each of the daughters receiving £46 18s. 7d. It was distributed by agreement April 13, 1716. 104 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. 49. John Francis married, 1st, in Wethersfield, February 10, 1680, Sarah Dix, daughter of Leonard Dix, who died April 3, 1682, aged 24 years. The will of Leonard Dix, who died December 7, 1697, has the following item: " To my son-in- law, John Ffrancis, besides what he hath had already, 5 shillings in pay." Sergeant Francis married, 2nd, in Wethersfield, January 16, 1683, MERCY CHATTERTON, daughter of William Chatterton (No. 98) and Mary Clark (No. 99), who was born in New Haven, Conn., November 22, 1664. The original record of her birth is " Mercy daughter of Wm. Chatterton: Novemb: 22nd (64)," her next older sister Hannah being born August 4, 1663, and her next younger sister, Mary, December 12, 1666. She was not, therefore, as old as the epitaph on her gravestone in the Wethersfield cemetery indicates : Here lies Interred | the Body of M" | Mercy Francies, j Relict to M'' | John Francies, ] who Died Oct. I the IS*"* 1745, in | the 83'"'' year | of her Age. The evidence of her identity is undeniable. In a deed, dated May 13, 1721, Joshua Hotchkiss and Susanna, his wife, of New Haven, Samuel Benton and Sarah, his wife, of Hartford, and " Marcy Ffrancis of Wethersfield widow " convey to their brother, John Hotchkiss of Wallingford, all their right to three acres of land in " Coopers quarter " in New Haven, in consideration of the " tender love and af- fection " he had sho"\vn for more than four years to their aged mother, Mary Chatterton. This deed was acknowledged by Mercy Francis at Wethersfield, December 8, 1722. [New Haven Land Records, VI: 367.] In another deed, dated October 27, 1740, and acknowledged by Mercy Francis at SIXTH GENERATION. 105 Wethersfield, November 13th, following, the same parties with Mary Hotchkiss of Wallingford, conveyed to Daniel Sanford of Milford all their right in 22 acres of land in New Haven, which had been deeded to him by William, Joseph and Wait Chatterton May 28, 1737, and in the latter deed the land is described as land drawn in the name of their " honored grandfather, William Chatterton Dec*^," they being nephews of Mercy Francis. [Ibid. X : 355 ; XI : 243.] At the time of executing this deed, Mercy Francis was nearjy seventy-six years of age, her sister Sarah Benton was seventy- nine, her sister Susanna Hotchkiss sixty-two and her sister Mary Hotchkiss nearly seventy-four.

ELIPHALET DICKINSON, son of Obadiah Dickinson (No. 100) and Sarah Beardsley (No. 101), was born in Hatfield, Mass., in March 1676-7. He lived in Stepney Parish, Wethersfield, now Rocky Hill, and was the ancestor of many of the name residing there in later years. About 1713, Eliphalet Dickinson, Joshua Bobbins, Jr., and Ebenezer Dickinson erected a sawmill in Stepney, on a branch of Goffe's Brook, it is believed the earliest in that section of the township. On March 5, 1715-16, Eliphalet Dickinson and William Blinn received permission from the town to flood Deming's Meadow (thus forming the so-called "Reservoir " in Griswoldville) for the purpose of increasing the supply of water for "Madame Chester's Mill," which they had leased for nine years. Mr. Dickinson held several town offices. He is called in some deeds a " housewright." He is buried in the Rocky Hill cemetery, where the epitaph on his gravestone is as follows : Here lies | ye Body of I Eliphelit Dickinson, | Dec'd Sept. 9**' 1733, | Aged 54 years & half. | As you are so was we, | As we are you shall be. The will of Eliphalet Dickinson dated February 6, 1728-9 leaves to his wife, Rebecca, one-third of all his estate with £20 dowry and names his sons Obadiah, Eliphalet, and Eleazer and daughters Sarah, Rebecca, and Eunice. To each of his daughters he bequeathed £50. His inventory, taken October 30, 1733, amounted to £633 Is. Id. [Hart- ford Probate Records, XI: 312, 343, 344.] SIXTH GENERATION. 107 51.

NATHANIEL WRIGHT, son of Joseph Wright (No. 104) and Mercy Stoddard (No. 105), was born in Wethers- field, Conn., October 16, 1688. He received land by the will of his father in 1714 and lived in his native town, where he died in 1774. In 1719, he was appointed to ap- praise impounded cattle. His will dated February 12, 1773, was offered for probate, February 2, 1774. It names all his six children, Lucy being the wife of Joseph Butler and 108 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY.

WILLIAM GOODRICH, son of William Goodrich (Xo. 108) and Sarah Marvin (Xo. 109), was bom in Wethersfield, Conn,, February 8, 1661, and resided there throughout his life. He was several times elected to office in the town. In May, 1701, he was appointed Ensign of the trainband at the north end of the town, and in May, 1710, was made Lieutenant of the same company. Lieutenant Goodrich died December 27, 1737, and his will, dated Xovember 27, 1737, was offered for probate, December 7th, following. In it he bequeathed to his wife, " Mary Ann," with other property, " One-half of (t';', negro man George," the other one-half being given to his son Joseph. His inventory amounted to £3,079 5s. 3d. It seems SIXTH GENERATION. 109 to include various lands which he had distributed to his sons and also " an Indian woman that Ann Powell Jiad given her by her father." [Hartford Probate Records, XIIJ: 114- 116.] 55. The first wife of William Goodrich was Grace, daughter of John and Grace Riley, whom he married in Wethersfield, ISTovember 22, 1680. She died October 23, 1712, aged 51. He married, 2nd, in Wethersfield, June 5, 1714, MARIAN" BRETOUN, widow of Dr. Nicholas Ayrault of Wethersfield who had " died May 6, 1706, aged 37." She died August 27, 1741, aged 60. Her name, as above written, is inscribed on the tombstone of her first husband : " Doct. Nicholas Ayrault, A French Huguenot," in the Wethersfield cemetery. In 1686, a company of Huguenots, having been driven from France by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes the year previous, established a settlement in the l!Tarragansett country in Rhode Island. The following are authorities on this Huguenot settlement: Potter's "Memoir concerning the French Settlements in the Colony of Rhode Island/' R. I. Historical Tracts, N"o. 5 ; Mrs. Lee's " Huguenots in France and in America;" Baird's "Huguenot Emigration to America;" Narragansett Historical Register, I: 18, 19. The location of this plantation was " above ye Long Meadow Kickameeset," or in what is now the southeast corner of East Greenwich, R. I., and it was known in early times and to this day is called " French town." Here about forty-five families of French Huguenots built their homes, laid out fields, and planted orchards with their dearly loved church in their midst. Their first agreement with the Proprietors of the Narragansett Country, dated October 12, 1686, names next to their minister Ezechiel Carre, one Peter Le Breton, 110 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. who is believed to have been their schoolmaster. Their teacher would naturally be named next after their minister according to French custom and in the settlement his land adjoined " La terre pour L'ecoUe." His name a few years later is written " Peter Berton," but it became more com- monly Breton or Bretoun in those changes which affected all the names of these Huguenot emigrants. Peter Le Breton was doubtless the father of Marian Bretoun of Wethersfield. This settlement suifered some hardships, their title proved to be valueless, and in 1691, the troubles between the English and the French led to its abandonment. Its families were then scattered. Some of the Le Breton family may have remained in the vicinity, where the name is afterwards found. Others removed to New York where they subse- quently appear in the French church. Another family in this company of Huguenots was that of Ayrault, who are said by one authority to have come from Angers in the Province of Anjou, but by another and later investigator to have come from the Isle of Re. Pierre Ayrault was their physician and was accompanied by his wife and son Daniel. Nicholas Ayrault is said to have been his nephew. According to his age at death, as inscribed on his tombstone years afterwards, he was born in 1669, and was therefore seventeen years old when he emigrated from France. The Wethersfield records, however, have the follow- ing entry : " Docf Nicholas Ayrault Deceas^ on the 4*'* day of March 1705-6 Etatis a: 50 yeas: his age not exactly known." [Wethersfield Births, Marriages, and Deaths, I: 42.] This age at death would place his birth in 1656, and his age at emigration as 30 years. He doubtless studied medicine with his uncle and at least began to practice under SIXTH GENERATION. Ill his supervision in Rhode Island, and later in "New London. The exact time of his removal to Wethersfield is unknown to us, but is thought to have been about the year 1703 as it appears from a case in the Hartford County Court that in 1703 he boarded in his family Samuel Fosdick of Ifew London. The births of his children, Esther and Peter, were entered in the records there April 5, 1703. Hinman, in his " Puritan Settlers of Connecticut," 1846, states that Nicholas Ayrault married " Marian Breton or Bretoon of Providence, R. I." In this, he was followed by Savage. Her residence is doubtless an error, for the marriage is not recorded in Providence and there is no indication that she ever lived there. Probably they were married in Rhode Island in 1698, shortly before their settlement in Wethers- field, and possibly she was his second wife.* • The following are recorded in Wethersfield as the children of Nicholas and Mary Ann Ayrault: Esther, b. Mch. 5, 1698-9; Peter, b. Dec. 4, 1702, and Nicholas, b. Oct. 2, 1705. There was, however, another, a sister or half-sister of Peter and Nicholas, Mary, who died unmarried, according to her gravestone, Aug. 13, 1778, in her 84th year, or as in a manuscript death or burial record, Aug. 20, 1778, ae. 85. She was, therefore, born not later than 1695. In her will, dated April 25, 1778, she mentions her " kinsman Elias Wright," her brothers, Peter and Nicholas Ayrault, and a " cousin," Daniel Ayrault. This will was proved May 4, 1779. Marian Bretoim Ayrault was born in 1681 accord- ing to her epitaph or in 1682 according to the Wethersfield records which have the following entry: " Marianne Goodrich ye Wid^ of L* William Goodrich, Deceafed on the 27th day of August A D 1741. In ye 60th year of her Age." It is hardly probable, therefore, that she was the mother of Mary Ayrault born in 1695, though the record indicates that she was of the other children. Peter married Nov. 12, 1744, Mary Dodd, widow of John Francis, who died Aug. 17, 1776, and he died in 1779. In his will he mentioned a son Stephen, unmarried and insane; Mary Ann, born Sept. 26, 1745, who married May 4, 1769, Simeon Griswold; Elizabeth, who married May 5, 1767, James Hanmer and " Lydia Flowers" (prob- ably the wife of Joseph Flower) who had died since 1774, leaving a child " which is now said to be alive in one of the Floridas." Nicholas 112 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. The will of Doctor Nicholas Ayrault is dated March 2, 1706-6. In it he bequeaths property in France, mentions his son, Peter, and wife, Marian, who was to have the disposi- tion of his estate so long as she continued a widow, but if she married, two-thirds was to be distributed among his children. He included in the bequest to his wife, his "debts," doubtless payments due him in his practice. Some of these she afterwards attempted to collect in court from parties in New London, from which it is inferred that he had formerly lived there. Though Doctor Ayrault is believed to have had lUieans we find no record of his holding real estate in Wethersfield or any distribution of such property at the time of his wife's second marriage. His will does not mention any and his inventory is missing. Hinman says, " The house which he built stood on the next lot south and adjoining the residence of Captain Jesse Goodrich, deceased, in Wethersfield." After his death, on March 19, 1710-11, Marianne Ayrault bought of Benjamin Deming his interest in " one Home lot with a Mansion house thereon " consisting of one and one-half acres, which was bounded north on land of Lieutenant William Goodrich, her second husband. This, she sold, August 25, 1712, to Paul Collin, and the deed informs us that it was located " near the middle or center of said town." [Wethersfield Land Records, IV: 1, 67.] Possibly Doctor Ayrault had lived on this place and in married April 17, 1730, Jane, daughter of Daniel Stocking of Middletown, who died Oct. 26 (31 MS, Rec), 1783. He died April 29 (May 2, MS. Rec), 1775. They had, besides several children who died young, James, born Sept. 17, 1730, Daniel, born Dec. 8, 1735, and Jane, born March 6, 1741-42, who married Ashbel Riley and died Dec. 7, 1810. These three children are named in a will of Mary Ayrault, dated 1774, as those of her " brother " Nicholas. It is possible, however, that Marian Bretoun was older than the records indicate, as such errors were common. SIXTH GENERATION. 113 consequence of his wife's ownership, the above tradition arose.

He spent his life in his native town and died there June (Jan. g. s.) 23, 1755, after a long life of public service. " Sergeant David Goodrich," as he was then known, was, in May, 1704, commissioned by the General Court, Lieutenant of the company of " souldiers raised in the countie of Hartford " for the expedition to march to the relief of Hampshire County, Mass., where the Indians were making trouble for the colonists ; and again, in December of the same year, he was dispatched for another campaign. In the cam- paign of 1709, he served as Captain, Adjutant, and Quarter- master, as is seen from the following action of the General 15 114 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. Court in October, 1710 : " This assembly doth grant and allow to Captain David Goodrich of Wethersfield, for his care and service as quartermaster of the regiment of this colony at the Wood Creek the last year, the sum of six pounds, besides the wages that hath already been allowed him as adjutant of the said regiment." [^Connecticut Colonial Records, IV: 177.] He served as Captain in the expedition into Hampshire County in February, 1712. On May 12, 1715, he was confirmed Captain of the north com- pany or trainband in Wethersfield. He was appointed one of the " Committee of War " in October, 1723, with full power to act during the " present war," and in May, 1725, was on a similar committee, then bearing the rank of Colonel. " In May, 1723, three companies were sent under com- mand of Major Joseph Talcott, of Hartford, into Hampshire County. One of these, numbering sixty men, was from Wethersfield, and commanded by Captain David Goodrich. In February, 1724, he went north again; this time probably as far as Fort Dummer, near the present Brattleborough, then the only settlement in what is now Vermont Goodrich remained in Massachusetts most of the time until the close of the war in December, 1725." [Judge S. W. Adams in Memorial History of Hartford County, II: 467.] In civil, as in military life, we find Colonel Goodrich to have been frequently honored. He was Deputy or Representative from his town from 1716 to 1740, at almost every session of the General Assembly during this long period, serving on many important legislative committees. He was several times a member of the Governor's Council, in 1726, and later. During the greater part of his life he was Justice of the Peace, and for many years a Justice of SIXTH GENERATION. .115 the Quorum. In his town he was frequently chosen to office, serving as Lister in 1692, Constable in 1695, Collector in 1696, and Selectman in 1702, and in subsequent years. In 1719 he was elected Town Treasurer " to stand until the town see cause to choose another ; " and was very many times Moderator of the town meetings. Colonel Goodrich's house stood on the west side of Hiffh street, on or near the site of the house erected by his grand- son. Captain Elizur Goodrich, about the time of the Revolu- tion, and more recently known as the " Catharine Brigden place." This lot, containing one acre and sixty rods, measur- ing six rods in breadth in front, and five rods in the rear, was the north portion of the home lot of Thomas Wright (son of the settler), and was purchased by Colonel Goodrich May 27, 1689. In the original record of the transfer, the grantee is called " David Goodrich, Tailer." [Wethersfield Land Records, III: 253.] 57. David Goodrich married, 1st, in Wethersfield, March 7, 1688-9, Hannah Wright, daughter of Thomas Wright and Elizabeth Chittenden, who was born there March 10, 1671, and died April 27, 1698. Her children, the five older, are mentioned in the will of her brother, Thomas Wright.

He spent his life in his native town and died there April 6, 1709, " in his 63d year near out " as the town records give it. He received by his father's will, the home- stead on High street containing nine acres " with all the buildings thereon," and probably lived there, at least the latter part of his life. Samuel Deming left no will. Administration on his estate was granted to his wife, Sarah Deming, September 5, 1709. The inventory of his estate was presented March 6, 1715-16, but a settlement was not made until March 4, 1728-9, when an agreement to that effect was signed by " Sarah Churchill, formerly ye widow of ye said Dec''," John, David, Samuel, William and Honor Deming. [Hart- ford Probate Records, Distributions.] 59. The marriage of Samuel Deming as recorded in Wethers- field is as follows : " Sam" Deming & Sarah his wife were Maryed by Capt John Chefter Comiffr March 29, 1694." In the margin is the date " April 1st, 1695," probably the date of entry, and following the entry are the names and dates of birth of the children. [Wethersfield, Births, Mar- riages, and Deaths, I: 61.] The maiden name of the wife was SAEAH BUCK, who was a daughter of Emanuel Buck (No. 118) and Mary Kirby (No. 119).* She was born in * The erroneous statement of Goodwin in his Genealogical Notes, page 234, that Samuel Deming " married Sarah Kirby, daughter of John Kirby of Middletown/' has been followed by the author of the Kirby Genealogy and many others.

He removed to Wethersfield, Conn., where he drew land in the allotment of 1694. Two years earlier he had bought of Daniel Graves, then of Springfield, a home lot on the east side of Broad street, Wethersfield, to which he added in 1702, by purchasing from Joshua Robbins' land on the south. He was a glazier by trade, having learned that of his father, Philip. John Russell held several offices in Wethersfield, being Constable in 1703-4, and one of the School Committee in 1712 and 1718. In 1714 he was made a Sergeant in the military company and thereafter usually bore that title.

SAMUEL BOREMAN of Ipswich, Mass., and Wethers- field, Conn., son of Christopher Bormau and Julian Carter, (rrnvOAxy was the emigrant ancestor of the Boardman family. He was born in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England, in 1615, and baptized there August 20th, of the same year. About 1620, he removed with his parents to Clay don, a village near Banbury, where his early life was spent. He first appears as a settler of New England in Ipswich, Mass., where in a list of inhabitants without date, he is called a " cooper " ; and he had land recorded to him there August 22, 1639. It is probable that he had arrived in this country some little time previous to this, perhaps coming in April, 1638, on the ship "New Supply," for it is known from the journal of Mr. John Josselyn, a passenger, that one by the name of Boreman was on board this vessel. \.6\T Samuel Boreman's stay at Ipswich was not a long one, yet during this period he owned three different homesteads. 1-24 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY, The first of these, which was granted to him by the town, was in the northwest part of the toAvn, at the west end of High street. In 1641, or durinc; the previous year, Samuel Boreman disposed of all his property in Ipswich, and removed to Wethersfield, Conn. His first purchase of land there, as far as known, was a homestead of three acres, with a barn and cellar, which was recorded April 9, 1645. It was on tlie east side of Broad street, a little north of Plain Lane, and near where the great elm now stands ; and is thns entered in the records of the town : " One piece whereon a cellar and barn standeth, containing three acres more or less; the ends abnt against the Broad St. north west, and the plain south east; the sides against the honse lot of Mr. Chester north east, and Richard Park south west." This house lot, which he bought of Lesley Bradfield, he sold to John Lat- timer before June 22, 1646. His second homestead was on the west side of Broad street, near the house now owned and occupied by the Town Clerk, Mr. Albert H. Galpin. It was purchased of Mr. Evans on or before March 25, 1646, and was sold January 1, 1649. His third homestead, which was on the east side of Broad street, at the lower end, was recorded December 19, 1649. This, he afterwards exchanged with Henry Palmer for a house and lot on the east side of High street, near the foot of the present Prison street. This last house and lot, which was his fourth, he sold August 23, 1659, to Samuel Smith. On Ts^ovember 3, 1659, he purchased of Nathaniel Dickinson, wlio had removed to Hadley, Mass., a homestead extending from Broad street westward along Fletcher's Lane to Bell Lane (now South Main street). This place is described as " One house lot « SEVENTH GENERATION. 125 with house thereon con. 2 acres & a half more or less, th§ ends abutting on the Broad St, east and the Long street west, and upon the highway north, and on lands of John Kilborn south." Upon this land five generations of his descendants lived, the property remaining in the possession of the family almost a century and a quarter. Samuel Boreman was an extensive land owner, having purchased no lass than fifty-five pieces of land in Wethers- field, aggregating 755 acres. This was exclusive of an eighth part in Robert Eose's lands. Rose had 312 acres in one tract on the east side of the River, and other lands on both sides of the River. At the time of his death, Mr. Boreman possessed not far from 350 acres, including several grants from the town, and 200 acres which he received from the Indians. The Indian chief, Turamuggus (son of the Sachem, Sowheag), gave to Mr. Boreman and Thomas Edwards jointly, January 26, 1673, "out of respect" for them, a tract of land containing 400 acres, at Assawasick, in what is now East Glastonbury. This is the earliest deed next after one grant of land at Beckley Quarter, made by Indians to private individuals in the township. Mr. Boreman also owned land in the southern part of the township, or what now constitutes the tovm. of Rocky Hill. Indeed, he was the first to receive a grant of land in that section of Wethersfield. On January 2, 1649-50, it is recorded that he was granted thirty acres bounded east on the river, north on what was later reserved for a ship- yard, south by the stream known as Fog Brook, extending westerly up the hill which slopes from the river's edge. In after years this tract of land became of great com- mercial importance. Situated as it is along the river front, 126 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. it has often been occupied by stores and warehouses; and at the present time the foundry, the railroad station, and several ancient residences are located on this site. The name of Samuel Boreman is often found in the records of Wethersfield. He was chosen Townsman or Selectman for eight years, Lister or Assessor for two years, rate maker. Surveyor of Highways, Constable, and was often appointed to lay out highways, town bounds and individual grants of land. In church affairs as well, he took a prominent part, and served on committees to " procure a minister," '^ seat the meeting house," to settle differences, etc. We learn from the records of the Particular Court that Mr. Boreman was a juror, October 1, 1646, and that between the years 1646 and 1662 he was chosen fifteen times to fill this office. He was also a member of the Grand Jury in 1660 and 1662. He first represented Wethersfield as a Deputy to the General Court, October 1, 1657, and was elected in all to eighteen terms, the last in 1672. On Octol)er 0, 1662, when Connecticut's famous charter, which had just been procured in England from King Charles II. by Governor Winthrop, was " first publiquely read in audienc of ye Freemen," Samuel Boreman was present as one of the Deputies. Sergeant John Nott and he were " appointed to notify those in Wethersfield indebted to the country in behalf of Captain Cullick to provide and prepare payment to enable the country to discharge such sums as should be charged by Governor Winthrop for procuring the charter for the Colony." In 1649, Samuel Boreman was appointed by the General Court, Sealer of Weights and Measures, and in 1659, Customs Master of Wethersfield, the first to hold that office. / ^ /^ ^ P ^vT ^ vVjijr/.- /iKwCHiin^ rv-^yiiij/l ^f'/'/nt/^-, _ . . . ~ - // — »,' t' — (5 i?

SEVENTH GENERATION. 127 He was also selected by the General Court to serve on com- mittees to settle church difficulties, to lay out the new town of Haddam, to fix the bounds of Middletown and settle its difficulties with the Indians, to lay out the bounds of the proprietors in !N^aubuc, to settle estates, etc. Of Samuel Boreman, Mr. Hinman says : " Few of the first settlers of Connecticut came here with a better reputa- tion or sustained it more uniformly through life, than Mr. Boreman." He died in April, 1673, leaving an estate inventoried at £742 15s. Od. [Boardman Genealogy, pp. 158-180.] 65. Samuel Boreman married about the year 1641 at the time of his removal from Ipswich to Wethersfield, MARY BETTS, daughter of John Betts (No. 130) and Mary, his wife (No. 131), who was born about 1623 in England. She was living in Clay don in 1627, but afterwards emigrated to New England with her mother, the widow Mary Betts. She survived her husband more than eleven years and died in Wethersfield in August, 1684, aged about 61 years. Children of Samuel and Mart Boreman. I. Isaac, b. Feb. 3, 1642-3; m.

The story of a letter written more than two hundred and fifty years ago, by Julian Boreman in England, to her son Samuel in America, which played so important a part in the discovery of the English home and ancestry of the Boardman family, has been fully and interestingly told in the Boardman Genealogy published a few years since. The scenes so inseparably associated with the life of the young Samuel and his forbears have been faithfully described. As it is the purpose of this volume to treat more especially of the American ancestors in the several lines through which William Boardman and his wife, Mary Francis, trace their descent, it is proposed to give here, merely a brief review of the results hitherto obtained, in so far as they relate to Samuel Boreman, the emigrant, and his immediate ancestry. L WILLIAM BOREMAN of Banbury, Oxfordshire, Eng- land, in 1525, was, it is believed, the father of Thomas Boreman of Claydon, from whom nearly all of the Board- man name in America are descended. His name appears in a Lay Subsidy list for Banbury Hundred in 1525, where a tax of 40s. 7d. is levied on his goods. He is the only Boreman in this list, but in 1546 five other Boremans are found living in towns near Banbury. ' l^^*->* 'T'W^i^/ LETTER OF MRS. JULIAN HOREMAN FROM CLAYDON, ENGLAND, TO HER SON SAMUEL IN IPSWICH, MASS., FEBRUARY 5, 1641. Orif^inal in possession of IVilliatn F.J. Boardman. SEVENTH GENERATION. 129 11. THOMAS BOREMAN "the elder/' probably son of the preceding, was of Claydon in 1546. The first mention of him we find in a Lay Subsidy list for that year, in which he is taxed £3 Os. 3d. on his goods. The parish Register records his burial, December 9, 1580. This date should undoubtedly be December 9, 1579, as appears from the Probate Records. From the inventory of his estate, we learn that he cultivated a farm, and perhaps in addition to this, judging from the number of carpenter's tools, among his effects, devoted some of his time to carpentry or working in wood. No records of his marriage or of the births of his children have been obtained, since the Parish Register does not begin until 1569. He mentions in his will, dated April 3, 1576, and proved May 2, 1580, a wife, Isabel, who survived him, and the following children: Children of Thomas and Isabel Boreman. I. William, m. Annis ; bur. Jan. 10, 1612-13. II. Cicely or Sisley, m. May 8, 1576, John Russell. III. Christopher, bur. Oct. 10, 1584. IV. John, bur. Dec. 9, 1588. V. Thomas the elder, m. Alice ; bur. May 29, 1593. VI. Thomas the younger, m. Feb. 16, 1579-80, Dorothy Gregory; bur. June 13, 1587. VII. Elizabeth, m. Nov. 17, 1584, Thomas Symkins. VIII. Joane, may have been either of two Joane Boremans, who m. respectively, Nov. 24, 1585, Humphrey Welch, and June 10, 1585, John Mason. IX. Ann, bur. Jan. 21, 1575-76, supposed to have been another daughter, who died before her father. III. THOMAS BOREMAN, " the younger," son of Thomas " the elder," was born in Claydon, probably about 1560. He 17 130 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. married February 16, 1579-80, Dorothy Gregory, and had by this marriage two children whose baptisms are recorded in the Clay don ^Register. He was buried June 13, 1587. There is every reason to believe that the house of Thomas Boreman is still standing at Claydon, as shown in the il- lustration. It adjoins the house and yard of Felix Carter, whose daughter, Julian, became the wife of Christopher, the son of Thomas Boreman. This house dates far back of 1600, and was probably the house of Thomas Boreman's father, though one cannot look for other evidence of this than is found in the circumstances that this house was stand- ing in 1579 when Thomas Boreman " the elder " died, that in so small a hamlet as Claydon such would naturally be the case, and that the son did succeed his father in the care of the home, he and his mother Isabel being residuary legatees. The house also has a hall, such as the inventory of the father's estate indicates as being large enough for a living room. The addition was built fully 100 years later than the main part of the house. It seems altogether certain, therefore, that this house was the original home of the Bore- man family in Claydon. Children of Thomas and Dorothy Boreman. I. Christopher. II. Joane, bap. Jan. 31, 1584-5. IV. CHRISTOPHER BOREMAN, son of Thomas Bore- man, the younger, and Dorothy Gregory, was bom in Clay- don, Oxfordshire, England, being baptized there December 1, 1581. Soon after his marriage in 1604, he removed to Banbury, the principal town of the neighborhood, situated seven miles south of Claydon. On the death of his father- HOUSE OF THOMAS BOREMAN, CLAYDON, ENGLAND SEVENTH GENERATION. 131 in-law, Felix Carter, he returned to Claydon, probably to live with and care for the widowed mother. He was presum- ably not a husbandman, but the master of some trade at which he was employed in Banbury. When his sister-in-law, Elizabeth, mother of Thomas Boreman of Ipswich, Mass., made her will, he was one of those whom she asked to be an overseer, and he was also one of the witnesses to it, signing with his name, not mark. He died about ten years after his return to Claydon, and was buried there, April 1, 1640. The wife of Christopher Boreman was JULIAN CARTER, daughter of Felix Carter and Margaret, his wife, who was baptized in Claydon, December 20, 1583. She married Mr. Boreman November 19, 1604. In the family of her father, she was a favorite, being the one chosen to care for her mother in her declining years, and receiving, perhaps on this account, her father's house and part of his land. She was also the residuary legatee of her mother, and received a special legacy from her youngest brother, Richard Carter. She was evidently a woman of intelligence and unusual graces of character. It was through a letter written by her to her son, Samuel Boreman in New Eng- land, that the English ancestry and home of the Boardman family were discovered. The last known of her is through a letter of her daughter, Elizabeth Middleton, of London, to Samuel Boreman of Wethersfield, Conn. ; she was then, in 1661, living and in good health at the age of 78. 132 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY.

FELIX CARTER of Claydon, Oxfordshire, England, first appears in the Claydon records July 28, 1577, when the baptism of his son, Peter, is recorded. As there are no records of two older children, it is probable that he had recently come to Claydon. He was one of the appraisers of the estate of the first Thomas Boreman, May 2, 1580. In 1610, we find his name in a Lay Subsidy List for Clay- don ; his tax, ii s. viii d., is on lands. He married Margaret and had by this marriage nine children. He was buried May 29, 1619. His will (nuncupative) was testified to by the witnesses on the same day. To his daughter, Julian Boreman, he gave " xli & Dunes house with thaulf the aurcheard to shee & her heres begotten of hir body." His widow, Margaret Carter, survived him about a year and a half. Her will is nuncupative, and is dated October 14, 1621; her estate was inventoried the 12th of November following. The house at Claydon, which was the home of Felix Carter, is presented in an accompanying illustration. It adjoins that of Thomas Boreman, and was bequeathed with its orchard to Julian Boreman and her sister, to be held in the interest of their mother, Margaret Carter, during her c X y. c. > r. r C y, Pi y. > y SEVENTH GENERATIOX. 133 life. This house is clearly the one indicated in the will and inventory of Felix Carter, and was suited to his standing and estate, being the only one in Claydon that satisfies the conditions. V. SAMUEL BOREMAN of Ipswich and Wethersfield. 66. SAMUEL STEELE, son of John Steele (No. 132) and Rachel Talcott (No. 133), was born in 1626 in England, probably at Fairstead, Essex County, or near there. He came with his parents to New England, remaining with them until his maturity and settling in Fannington. It is stated in the will of John Steele, dated January 30, 1663, that at the time of Samuel's " marriage with Mary Boosy," his father had given him " a parcel of Land with a tenement standing on it, wch parcel of Land contains by estimation two Acres, abutting on the highway east and River west, and William Judds Land south, and John Steeles Land North ; As also a smal parcel of Land on wch his Stil- house Stands, Containing by estimation nine roods." This marriage gift was confirmed to Samuel Steele in the above mentioned will, and it doubtless locates his home in Farm- ington. He also received by this will " a silver Bowie, wch was mine owne. Marked wth three Silver Stamps and an S., all on the upper end of ye bowle," one-half of all his father's books, and his " gold scales and weights belong- ing to ym." Samuel Steele was a prominent man in Farmington, representing that town in the General Court in 1668-9, and from 1672 to 1677. He was appointed "Ensign" of the 134 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. trainband, and in 1678, Lieutenant, and thereafter was known as " Lieutenant Steele." He removed to Wethers- field during that year, and was elected Townsman there for 1678-9, and was chosen to lay out lands in 1681. He was also the Deputy from that town to the General Court at the October session in 1681. His home in Wethersfield was on the west side of Broad street, and " in 1678, the tovn\ allowed him to set his front fence further into the street." In 1685, he inherited with l^athaniel Stanley, the homestead of James Boosey on the same street next north of Richard Treat. Lieutenant Steele's death occurred in Wethersfield, August 14, 1685. In his will, dated June 10, 1685, and proved September 3rd following, he mentioned his wife, " four daughters," and two sons, James and Ebenezer. His housing and lands in Wethersfield and Farmington were bequeathed to his sons. James was empowered to take his choice and settled in Wethersfield. He also left to them in equal proportion his " share in the saw mill." To each of his daughters, he bequeathed £20. The property in Farm- ington was inventoried at £457 5s., and that in Wethersfield at £725 7s. lOd. making the amount of his estate, £1,182 12s. lOd. [Stiles's History of Wethersfield, II: 665; Hart- ford Probate Records, IV: 112, 113, 231-234.] 67. MARY BOOSEY, daughter of James Boosey (No. 134) and his wife, Alice (No. 135), was born probably in Wethers- field, Conn., September 10, 1635. She married Samuel Steele about 1651, and died in Farmington in 1702. In the will of her father was the following legacy : " I give to my daughter Mary Boosey £50 at the age of 21 years or at SEVENTH GENERATION. 135 the day of her maridge." It was also provided that if any of the children " shall prove iindutiful or stiibborne, and will not be ruled by their mother, it shall be in the power of their mother to take from those weh is the iindutifullest as she shall see cause." She and her sister Sarah Stanley were plaintiffs in 1684 in a suit to recover certain lands claimed to have been left them by their father, James Boosey, and unlawfully disposed of by John Burr who had married Esther, the widow of Joseph Boosey their brother.

JOHN BELDEN, son of Richard Belden (No. 136), was born about 1630, probably in England, and came to Wethers- field with his father. He lived there on the east side of Broad street where he kept a tavern. On February 14, 1673, the town passed the following vote: "John Beldan was voated and chosen ordnary keeper for the entertainment of straingers and travillers according as the law Req(uires)." Judge Adams says, in the Memorial History of Hartford County [Vol. II, page 460], that " John Belden had a house 136 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. on each side of Broad street, but the ordinary was probably in that on the east side." In 1670, he drew land in the "Mile-in-Breadth " allotment, and in 1673, bought Samuel Boreman's land in the South Field and six pieces of meadow, swamp and upland of Will Gull. The same year he also exchanged land with John Betts and Mary Betts Boreman. John Belden was active in the affairs of his town, serv- ing several years as Townsman, and in minor official capac- ities. We find his name in a list of " Troopers presented to and allowed by the General Court," March 11, 1657-8, under the command of Major John Mason. This was the first Connecticut cavalry. In 1669, his name occurs in a list of Wethersfield freemen. A due bill given to him in 1662 is thought to indicate that he was at that time a merchant. [Stiles's History of Wethersfield, II: 77.] John Belden died June 27, 1677, aged 46, leaving an estate of £911 5s. 7d. His inventory was taken August 30, 1677. His heirs were the widow, John aged 19 years, Jonathan 16, Joseph 14, Samuel 11, Daniel 7, Ebenezer 4, Sarah 9, Lydia 2, and Margaret 5 months. In 1697, the Court ordered Jonathan Belden, the administrator, " to pay to Lydia Kellogg & Margaret Kellogg from their Father Belding's estate." [Manwaring's Hartford Probate Records, 1:181.] 69. John Belden married April 24, 1657, the first name of his wife being LYDIA, and it is said that she was a daughter of Thomas Standish of Wethersfield (No. 138) and his wife Susanna. [Stiles's History of Wethersfield, II: 77; Porter Geriealogy, p. 106.] Others have stated incorrectly that she was a daughter of Thomas Wright 1st. There are some indica- SEVENTH GENERATION. 137 tions that she may have been Lydia Standish and perhaps some positive proof exists which is unknown to us. She survived her husband and was living March 6, 1678-9, when the distribution of his estate occurred, receiving £100 from his personal property. Children of John and Lydia Belden. I. John, b.

JOHN MEAKIN, whose name is also spelled in the records Meakins, Meekins, Mekins, Mekyns, Makin, and Maken, and was doubtless pronounced like the last, is sup- posed to have been a son of Thomas Meakin (No. 140) and Catherine, his wife. He was born in England about 1625, and probably came to New England with his parents in 1633. Of his earlier years, nothing is known. It seems likely that he lived in Braintree or some town near Boston. Savage suggests that Mary Bidwell was his second wife, and as she was born about 1647, she could hardly have been the mother of his son, John, born in 1663. 18 138 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. John Meakin appears in a list of the freemen of Con- necticut in 1669, and in 1672 several parcels of land are recorded to him. One of two and one-half acres on the east side, he had " bought of Nicholas Disbroe," of whom he also bought 18 acres of land set off in the division of June 12, 1666, He had also 16 acres of upland, and 36 acres which John Bid well, Sen., had given him. He owned other tracts later. [Hartford Distributions, p. 341.] As the location of his lands indicates John Meakin lived on the east side of the Connecticut River, in what is now East Hartford, and was a man of some prominence in the affairs of that section of the town. He was chosen Fence Viewer with Richard Risley for the " East side of y^ River," December 31, 1678, and again in 1684. In 1681, 1684, and 1689, he was chosen Surveyor. His home lot was situated on Main street on the land where Joseph Merriman built his house afterwards and now owned by L. D. Forbes. The History of East Hartford, page 220, says, " On a slight eminence on Mr. Merriman's grounds and near the front of his mansion, stood an old house, amid old-fashioned shrub- bery, once the home of the prominent Meakins Family." In 1692, John Meakin and some of his children received small bequests by the will of Henry Hollsted, who calls him his " loving master." John Meakin died January 6, 1706, his inventory being taken on the 1st of April and amounting to £480 8s. Od. In his will, dated November 22, 1702, he mentions his wife to whom he left one-third of his estate, his sons John, Joseph, and Samuel, and daughters Mary Belden, Sarah Spencer, Rebecca and Hannah.

The name of the first wife of John Meakin is unknown. She was the mother of John Meakin, the eldest son, and died before 1669. He married, 2nd, about 1669, MARY BID WELL, daughter of John Bidwell (No. 142) and Sarah Wilcox (No. 143), who was bom in Hartford in 1647. She outlived her husband and died May 15, 1Y25.

DANIEL BORDMAN, son of Samuel Boreman (No. 144) and Mary Betts (No. 145), was born in Wethersfield, August 4, 1658. For a few years after his marriage in 1683, Daniel Bordman occupied a portion of his father-in- 140 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. law's home lot, situated on the west side of Rose Lane, (now Main street) in Wethersfield, a short distance below the church. In 1685, he obtained from his brother-in-law, Samuel Wright, Jr., twenty-five acres in the West Field, where, about this time, he built a dwelling house and after- ward lived. This lot fronted on the " Path to the Mill " (or Mud Lane, as it is now called), and extended back to Wolcott Hill. The ancient building standing on this land today, occupies, it is believed, nearly the original site of the Daniel Bordman homestead, and was probably erected by his son Timothy, between 1725 and 1750. It was sold to James Barret in 1768, and has since been known as the " Barret place," being now the property of Johnson, Robbins &Co. Daniel Bordman held several public offices in his town. He was elected Selectman, Collector, Surveyor, and member of the School Committee, and held the minor positions of Fence viewer. Sheep master, etc. In 1704, he, with several others, was appointed to fortify certain houses as forts. The family tradition is that he was a glazier by trade. He died February 20, 1724-5. The inventory of his estate amounted to £1,755 12s. Id. [Boardman Genealogy, pp. 198-204.] •73.

EDWARD CAMP, son of Edward Camp (No. 148) and Mary, his wife, was born in New Haven, Conn., July 8, 1650. He settled in Milford, being doubtless brought up there after the marriage of his widowed mother to John Lane of Milford in 1662. About nine acres of land were granted to Edward Camp in one of the early allotments at " Wolfe Harbour " and 142 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. this he exchanged in 1698 with Joseph Wheeler for another tract. [Milford Land Kecords, I: 143; II: 93, 95, 110.] He owned other lands later and in 1715 he deeded certain pieces to his sons, Samuel and John. [Ibid. V : 276 ; VI : 24.] In 1702, Edward Camp was one of three chosen to decide a case between John Sloss and Joseph Kirby of New Haven [New Haven Land Records, II: 222,] and he ap- pears as one of the petitioners before the General Court in 1709 in a case against John Read and others. {^Connecticut Colonial Records, V: 133.] At the latter period, he was one of the prominent men of Milford, representing that town in the General Court in May, 1712. He was then called '' Sergeant." Edward Camp. He also bore this title in 1705, when he was chosen with Captain Samuel Eells to represent the proprietors of New Milford in a committee appointed by the General Court " for the regulation of the said town," and is so called in the list of proprietors. It is thought that he derived this title from service in the Indian wars. His relations to New Milford were not of a permanent character, though he was one of the proprietors and engaged in their behalf in 1709 in the above suit to obtain satisfactory title to their lands. He never removed thither himself and disposed of his interest to his sons. Edward Camp's occupation was that of a farmer. In his will, he terms himself " yeoman." He and his wife were admitted to full communion in the Milford church, May 19, 1700. His will was dated March 11, 1721, he being then '' very sick." It mentions his wife, Elizabeth, sons Samuel and John, and daughters Abigail Galpin and Sarah Boardman. To the latter, he bequeathed £100, The SEVENTH GENERATION. I43 value of his " house, barn, and home lot " was £140 and the total of his estate £394 3s. 4d. [Xew Haven Probate Records, V: 56, 57, 65.] Edward Camp died between the 11th and 27th of March, 1721, his will being proved on the latter date. 75. In the Records of Milford is the following entry : " Ed- ward Camp and MEHITABEL SMITH, daughter of John Smith Sen. of Milford were married on the 15th day of January 1673 by Major Treat." She was bom in Mil- ford, March 24, 1655, where her parents, John Smith (No. 150) and Grace Hawley (jSTo. 151) were among the founders. She died before 1721, and Edward Camp mar- ried, 2nd, Elizabeth, who is mentioned in his will, dated March 11, 1721. On the 7th of March, Richard and Sarah Bordman of Wethersfield deeded all their right in the estate of their mother, Mehitabel Camp, late of Milford.

DANIEL SHERMAK, son of Jolm Slitenuan (No. 152) and Mary, his wife (No. 153), was born in Milford, Conn., March 27, 1642. He was a master mariner, it is said, and resided in New Haven and owned real estate there. He is numbered among the freemen in 1669, and was a com- missioner and magistrate in 1674. At a meeting of the Council, May 24, 1676, he was appointed Ensign of the forces raised in New Haven county. In 1690 he was ap- pointed Lieutenant of the trainband, and Captain in 1700. He was a prominent man in New Haven ; a man of ability and wealth, and of large influence. In the will of Daniel Sherman, dated November 21, 1716, he mentioned his six children, and his wife, Martha. To each of his daughters he left £5. To his wife, he left all that she brought him of movable estate at her marriage and one-third part of his movable estate. [New Haven Pro- bate Records, IV: 443-446.] Captain Daniel Shennan died November 30 ( ?), 1716. His gravestone was removed from New Haven Green in 1821 to the Grove street ceme- tery. His epitaph is as follows: Here Lies y* Bo(dy | Of Cap*. Dani(el) | Shei-mun Who | Died Novem' 3(0 ?) | 1716. Aged 75 Yea(rs). 77. Daniel Sherman married, 1st, in New Haven, September 28, 1664, ABIAH STREET, daughter of Nicholas Street (No. 154) and his first wife, who was bom probably in Taunton, Mass., about 1642.

By the death of his father in 1665, he was left with other children to the care of relatives. He probably had land granted him by the town soon after he became of age, but April 15, 1685, he bought a tract from Isaac Beecher on Oyster River, in the western section of New Haven, where he lived the remainder of his life, [New Haven Land Records, I: 270.] He was a prominent man in that locality. In 1706 he was appointed Ensign of the West Haven trainband and usually bore that title, on which account, as well as other reasons, he has been frequently confounded with his uncle, Lieutenant Sam- uel Burwell of Milford. Ensign Samuel Burwell died December 30, 1719. His epitaph in the old Burial Ground in West Haven, Conn., is 19 146 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. as follows: Here Lyeth ye | Body of Ensine | Samuel Bur- well I Who Died Decern' | 30 1719 | Aged 59 years. Adminis- tratiou was granted on his estate to his widow, Rebecca Bur- well, and son, Stephen, and his inventory, amounting to £639 3s. 7d., was taken July 1, 1720. In this was included his house, bam, and three acres of land being his home- lot, and various tracts of land elsewhere, also " 2 piftols, a symater and other trooping tackling " valued at £5 10s. It appeared in the settlement of the estate by the testimony of his daughters, Dinah and Batlisheba, that Samuel Bur- well '" called his family together 48 hours before his death and told them he freely gave his son, Stephen, the land lately bought of the town." Stephen Burwell was appointed g-uardian of Nathan, a minor, and also of John " by reason of his infirmity." The widow, Rebecca, was appointed guardian of Gideon and Mary, minors. To the daughter, Anne, there had been advanced £28 0. 2d. and to Rebecca £38 19s. Od., probably at the time of marriage. The widow received one-third and two-thirds were divided into eleven parts, of which the eldest son received two and each of the others one. [New Haven Probate Records, V: 28, 41, 47, 66, 203.] Several deeds were passed between the heirs in the settlement of tlie estate, from which it appears that the widow continued her residence in the West Parish of New Haven. 79. The record of the marriage of Samuel Burwell is found at Milford, and is as follows : ^' Sam" Burwell of Milford Ju"" and Rebecca Bunnell, daughter of Benjamin Bunnell of New Haven married by the Govei*nour Novemb' 27*'' 1684." Her birth is recorded in New Haven as " Rebecca, SEVENTH GENERATION. 147 daughter of Benjamin Bunnell," (ISTo. 158,) born February 11, 1668. She died in West Haven after February 5, 1732-3.

He lived in his native town, being engaged in farming, and died there in 1689. The inventory of his estate was taken August 22, 1689, and amounted to £482 Is. 2d. In it, his " gun & sword & ammunition " are valued at £2 13s. 6d., and it shows that he then owned " half the old house & homestead that were his fathers," valued at £60. [Thomas Canfield and Matthew Camfield with fneir Descendants, pp. 113-116.] 148 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. 81. Thomas Canfield married, February 26, 1679, RE- BECCA ADKINSOIsT. Of her family nothing is definitely known. It is thought she may have been a daughter of Luke Adkinson (Atkinson, Atkeson, Attconson), who was an early settler in 'New Haven, having a family of four persons in 1643. Luke Adkinson married, 2nd, May 1, 1651, Mary, daughter of Richard Piatt of Milford, and had children, Mary, Hannah, and Sarah, born at New Haven. He re- moved in 1656 possibly to Middletown, where his widow married, January 3, 1666-7, Thomas Whitmore and died June 1, 1669. Rebecca Adkinson could well have been his daughter and one of the family of four in 1643. After the death of Mr. Canfield, his widow, Rebecca, married, April 28, 1695, Samuel Camp, Senior, of Milford, son of Edward Camp 1st of New Haven, by whom also she had children.

SAMUEL CAMP of Milford, Conn., who bore succes- sively the titles " Senior," " Lieutenant," and " Deacon," was born in New Haven about 1648, and was the son of Edward Camp, 1st (No. 164), and Mary, his wife. SEVENTH GENERATION. 149 The Camp families of Milford present so many and such perplexing genealogical problems that it is necessary, in order to distinguish the above Samuel Camp, to review the entire matter and give the evidence for the positions here taken. The emigrant ancestor of one Camp family was Nicholas Camp, 1st, who, says Hinman, " came first to Wethersfield," but appears in the list of free planters of Milford, November 20, 1639. In 1646 he was in possession of a homelot of six acres, one rood and twenty poles, located between those of Roger Tyrrell and John Fowler. He also shared in the later divisions of land and bought several tracts. It has been claimed that " He was the son of John Campe, called the elder, of Nasing, Essex County, England, and Mary, his wife. The date of John's marriage appears on the parish records as having taken place in August, 1573. Nicholas, Sr., was born at Nasing in the month of April, 1597. His baptism is recorded the same month." [Boston Evening Transcript, Eebruary 12, 1906.] This statement may well be true, though we have made no investigation of the matter. In the will of Bennett Elliott of Nasing, dated November 5, 1621, proved March 28, 1622, a "Nicholas Campe the younger " is mentioned, and possibly the same who is named in the will of John Campe, the elder, of Nasing, dated May 21, 1630, proved June 11, 1630, as his son, having brothers, George and Thomas, sisters, Mary and Sarah, and grandchildren, Elizabeth and John Campe. In the same will we meet with the name of William Campe, nominated as one of the overseers. [Genealogical Gleanings in England, II: 904-907.] Some writers have stated that William Camp of Milford and Edward Camp, 1st, of New 150 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. Haven, as well as ISTicholas Camp, 2nd, of Milford, were sons of this emigrant ancestor. We know of no evidence in proof of this claim. Edward Camp, 1st, was born in England about 1622, and first appears in ISTew Haven in 1643. It seems more likely that William Camp was a son of the emigrant, if either, though it is quite probable that both were of the I^Tasing family if Nicholas, 1st, was the son of John Campe of ISI'asing. Neither William nor Edward appear to have in- herited property from Nicholas Camp, 1st, of Milford, al- though William was living in Milford at the time when the emigrant is supposed to have died. In 1645 the first name of the wife of Nicholas Camp, 1st, was Sarah. She is assumed to have been his first wife. Her family name is unknown. She was doubtless the mother of the child " Sarah Camp dan. of Nicholas Camp," baptized March 19, 1643, in her father's right, as " Sarah wife of bro. Camp " did not become a member of the church until August 4, 1644. Some genealogists assert also that in addition to the son, William, there were older daughters of Nicholas, 1st, Abigail, the wife of Nathan Baldwin, who died March 22, 1647, and Mary, the wife of John Baldwin. Opposite the above entry is the following note : " She died in childbed Sept. 6, 1645, being the last day of the week in the morning and was buried in the evening in my garden having been well delivered of two sons upon the second day of same month and very well as could be expected till the second day in the night, when she began to be very ill having taken cold in the morning before." In the church record of baptisms is the entry: " 1645 Sept. Samuel and John sons of Brot^. Camp twins." A copy of these records made by E. R. Lam- bert gives this appended note from the original : " Samuel SEVENTH GENERATION. 151 died at nurse at Sister Fenn's in the night suddenly." An- other version has it: " They died at nurse at Sister Fenn's Nov. 22 in the night 1G45, suddenly." In any case Samuel Camp, the son of Nicholas, 1st, born September 2, 1645, died young. There is no record of the birth of another Samuel in this family and we have found no evidence what- soever in the Milford records that a son of that name grew to maturity. In the following year, 1646, Nicholas Camp, 1st, mar- ried Eady (Edith) Tilley of Windsor, the widow of that John Tilley, master of a bark, who was cruelly maimed by the Indians on the Connecticut River, near Saybrook^ in Octo- ber, 1636, and died three days later. He had a homelot assigned to him in Windsor, which Thomas Dewey " lawful att'y to Nich. Camp of M. and his wife Eady, formerly Eady Tilley " sold in 1646. [Winthrop's History of New England, 1853, p. 238; Stiles's History of Windsor, I: 67, 167.] By this wife Nicholas Camp, 1st, had a daughter, Abigail, baptized in Milford, August 29, 1647. In the town records of New Haven is the following entry : " Nicolas Campe of Milford and Kattern Tompson of New Haven widdow were married by the Governer the 14th of July 1652." This has been supposed by some to be the record of the first marriage of Nicholas Camp, 2nd, of Mil- ford, son of the emigrant, who was born in 1630. It doubt- less corresponds nearly with the date of his marriage; but his wife in 1681 is proven to have been a sister of Jeremiah Beard, deceased. Anthony Tompson died May 23, 1647, having then a son Anthony who took the oath of fidelity May 2, 1654, and died the same year on the 26th of Decem- ber. He married his second wife, Kattern (Katherine), in 15? BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. 1644, and by her had tliree children. Therefore, unless she was very much younger than her husband, Anthony Tomp- son, and very much older than Nicholas Camp, 2nd, the above record must be that of the third marriage of Nicholas Camp, 1st, the emigrant, a conclusion supported by other circum- stances. The death of Nicholas Camp, 1st, is believed to have oc- curred not long before 1658, when a " Widow Camp " of New Haven gave to her daughter, Bridget Tompson, a por- tion due her from the estate of her fatlier, Anthony Tomp- son. Only one of that name is found in the list of freemen in 1669, who was tlie son. The practice in the Milford records had been to distinguish tliem by tlie titles " Senior " and " Junior," but the return made by the searchers for Whalley and Goffe, May 20, 1661, has the signature of " Nicholas Campe " without any such title [New Haven Colonial Records, II: 389n.] The same is true of a deed to Nicholas Campe and John Beard, September 16, 1664, and in this case the son, who was at other times associated with his brother-in-law in land transactions, was undoubtedly the person named. [Milford Land Records, IV: 294; cf. IV: 329.] The only male representative of this family in the second generation, as far as proven by the records we have seen, was Nicholas Camp, 2nd. It is recorded that " Nicholas Camp, Jun'. hath given him by his father Nicholas Camp, Sen^ one House Lott containing by estimation, one Acre & halfe & twenty Poles be it more or less, bounded with a highway west, with Nicholas Camp Sen"", to the north, with other Letts East, and with Joseph Baldwin South." [Milford Land Records, 1 : 104.] There is also tlie following record: SEVENTH GENERATION. 153 "Nicholas Camp Senior ( ?) now Jim"". ( ?) being Given by his Father hath given him by the Town one parcell of Med- dow Containing one acre and a half," [Ibid. I: 167.] It is impossible to determine the exact dates of these gifts, the records being without date, but it is conjectured that the former was about the time of his marriage, and the latter after his father's death, or that the record was made at that time. The Milford church records have this entry in its list of members: "1662, May 11, The wife of Nicholas Camp added, — who died Aug^'. 1689." This was the wife of Nicholas Camp, 2nd, as the baptisms of " Samuel, Joseph, Maria, children of Sister Camp," May 18, 1662, and of " John and Sarah twins of Sister ("amp," September 14, 1662, indicata Nicholas Camp, her husband, united July 10, 1670. In 1664, as above proven, Nicholas Camp, 2nd, and John Beard were associated either in business or in the settlement of an estate in which both were interested. " Widow Martha Beard " was one of the first settlers, and it is supposed that her husband died on the voyage to New England. She united with the church as " Martha Beard, widow " November 1, 1640, and died in Milford June 11, 1647-8, She had, says Lambert, three sons and three daughters. The sons were James, who died in 1642, Jere- miah, and John, and one of the daughters, Martha, married Ensign Jolui Stream. Jeremiah, who was unmarried and living with his brother. Captain John Beard, at the time, died intestate in 1681, his inventory, which amounted to £209 16s, 7d., being taken on the 27th of October. In its distribution the heirs were Captain John Beard, and Nicho- las Camp and Ensign John Stream, " husbands of sisters " 20 164 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. of Jeremiah. [New Haven Probate Records, I: 2, 81.] Thus it appears that Sarah Beard, supposed by some to have been the first wife of Nicholas Camp, 1st, was really the first wife of his son, Nicholas, and doubtless the mother of his children. Her brother. Captain John Beard, died in Sep- tember, 1690, leaving an estate amounting to £1180 5s. lOd. One of his daughters by Anna, his first wife, who died in 1698, was Mary Beard, the wife of Timothy Baldwin, and mother of Mary Baldwin, who married Samuel Camp "mason," the son of Lieutenant Samuel Camp, and grand- son of Edward Camp, 1st. [Ibid. II: 86; III: 198, 199.] The second wife of Nicholas Camp, 2nd, was Mehitabel Briscoe, a widow. He died in Milford, June 10, 1706, ac- cording to his gTavestone, in his 77th year. In his will, dated December 31, 1705, he mentions his wife, Mehitabel, and his children. [New Haven Probate Records, III: 92.] These were as follows: Joseph, born August 11, 1653, died August 16, 1655 ; Samuel, bom September 15, 1655 ; Joseph, born December 15, 1657, married Hannah, daughter of Eleazer Rogers, and died May 20, 1750, in Milford ; his wife died January 9, 1739-40 ; Mary, born July 12, 1660, married January 27, 1678, Joseph Peck; John, bom Sep- tember 14, 1662, married Mary Northrop, and died August 2, 1731, in Milford; Sarah, bom September 14, 1662, twin, married Daniel Baldwin; Nathan, baptized June 25, 1665, died March 26, 1666; Abigail, bom March 28, 1667, mar- ried Robert Treat of Milford. In the third generation of this family it is only necessary to follow Samuel Camp, born in 1655. In the Milford records tliere is an account of the property received by Sam- uel Camp " for his portion from his father Nicholas Camp," SEVENTH GENERATION. 155 with the son's receipt for the same. The total amount was £224, in which were included a house and home lot, a horse, cattle and provisions, and "the meadow that was Jer. Beard's." The date is April 18, 1682. [Milford Land Eecords, II: 1.] The inference is that the son was about to set up housekeeping. Some claim that he had married, November 13, 1672, Hannah Betts of Norwalk, who was buried January 24, 1680 ; but he was, in 1672, only a little over seventeen years of age. Moreover he had been baptized May 18, 1662, as above noted, whereas the Samuel Camp who married Hannah Betts was baptized September 7, 1673, when he and his wife united with the church, a fact that is twice recorded. It is not supposable that the fathers did such a thing. The same fact disposes of the claim that Samuel Camp, the twin son of Nicholas, 1st, baptized in September, 1645, grew to maturity and was the husband of Hannah Betts. The marriages of two men by the name of Samuel Camp are recorded in Milford — one to Mercy Scovill (Scofield), January 6, 1681-2, the other to Mary Camp, October 4, 1682. The former, we think, was the first marriage of the above Samuel Camp, son of Nicholas, 2nd, and the latter the second marriage of Lieutenant Samuel Camp, the son of Ed- ward, 1st, the subject of this sketch. There were at this time in Milford only these two of that name of marriageable age. Mercy Scofield was the daughter of Daniel Scofield of Stamford, and was bora the " latter end of Nov. 1657." Her mother, widow Sarah Scofield, became the third wife of Miles Merwin of Milford and died March 5, 1698. Miles Merwin in his will, dated May 18, 1695, made a be- 156 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. quest to " Mary Camp, wife of Sam" Camp of Milford," and she was apparently living when the inventory Avas taken May 12, 1697. Her name is given both as " Mercy " and " Mary," a common interchange. The second wife of Sam- nel Camp, son of Edward, 1st, is believed to have died about 1692, and certainly before 1695, for it is proven, as else- where stated, that he was the Samuel Camp who married as his third wife, April 28, 1695, widow Rebecca Canfield. Therefore, his second wife could not have been living May 18, 1695, when Miles Merwin made the bequest to Mercy, the daughter of his wife, and it is proven that the wife of Samuel Camp, son of Nicholas, 2nd, was living. Moreover, " Samuel Camp of Milford " was the designation of the son of Nicholas, 2nd, at the time, the other Samuel being called " Senior," or, as in the record of his marriage to Rebecca Canfield, " Lieu. Samuel Camp, mason." The recurrence of the names of Mercy Scofield's relatives, such as Ebenezer, in the family of Samuel Camp, son of Nicholas, 2nd, should also be noted. We conclude, therefore, that this Samuel Camp, who united with the Milford church. May 22, 1681, married Mercy Scofield January 6, 1681-82, and in the fol- lowing spring received an adequate portion from his father to support a family. His first wife died, however, about 1698, and he married soon afterward Martha Uffoot (Uf- ford), the daughter of John Uffoot of Milford, and widow of Peter Carr. [Durham Land Records, I: 111.] She was " Martha Camp " in 1699, when the estate of Elizabeth Uf- foot was distributed among her brothers and sisters, John, Samuel, Mary Picket, and Lydia Uffoot, with herself. [New Haven County Court Records, IT: 22.] By her first husband she had a daughter, Sarah Carr, who married January 21, 1713-14, Caleb Seward, Jr. SEVENTH GENERATION, 157 Samuel Camp, son of jSTicholas, 2nd, removed about 1708 to Durham, Conn., and died there April 4, 1733, " in the 79tli year of his age." His wife, Martha, died February 14, 1739, " aged 70 years." In his ^vill dated January 20, 1729-30, he mentioned his wife and children, Amos, John, Ebenezer, Samuel, Bethiah Wright, and Sarah Seward. [Guilford Probate Eecords, Til: 68.] His children were as follows: Samuel, baptized January 14, 1683-4; Bethiah, bom April 12, 1686, who married James Wright; Nathan, bom August, 1688, died August 16, 1690; Ebenezer, born August 24, 1690, died January 22, 1734; Amos, bora Feb- ruary 12, 1691-2, married December 18, 1716, Anna An- drews, and lived in Wallingford ; Sarah, born I^ovember 5, 1694, married, March 31, 1710, Thomas Seward; John, born March 1, 1700, married June 27, 1728, Hannah Hickox, and died in Durham, September 20, 1754; his wife died June 21, 1789, " in her 85th year " ; Ephraim, born September 17, 1702, died February 11, 1725, in Durham. The Samuel Camp of this family in the fourth genera- tion, born in 1683, lived in Milford. In a deed to his " honored father Samuel Camp of Durham " Jime 18, 1717, he calls himself " Samuel Camp the fourth of Milford," which agrees with the account here given. [Durham Land Records, III: 195.] He married, February 1, 1704, Lydia Uffoot, perhaps the younger sister of his step-mother. This review of the early generations in the family of Nicholas Camp, the emigrant, enables us to distinguish be- tween Samuel Camp, son of Nicholas, 2nd, born in 1655, and Samuel Camp, son of Edward, 1st, born about 1648, who is the subject of this sketch. The latter was about eleven years old when his father died, and fourteen when his mother, 158 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. Mary Camp, married John Lane, as his second wife, and removed to Milford. The bequests of John Lane to his wife's children indicate that the new home was not an un- pleasant one. This step-father died in 1669, giving his widow the life use of his homestead farm. Samuel Camp was then about twenty-one years of age. No exact date can be assigned to his first grant of land in Milford, but he was doubtless the Samuel Camp who re- ceived twelve acres at " Ferry Corner," and a homelot of two acres next east of Josiah Tibbals, of whom as " Samuel Camp Sen""" he bought land in 1694. [Milford Land Kecords, I: 89, 153; III: 68, 125, 137.] On December 13, 1692, he bought of Joseph Guernsey " a certain house, barn and houselot " of about three roods in Milford, the deed being indexed at the time as that of " Samuel Camp Sen""." [Ibid. Ill: 99.] This was probably his home thereafter. He was a mason by trade, as his son, Samuel, born in 1675, was, and in several instances he was called " mason " before he assumed his military title; but it was his son who came to be known in Milford as " Samuel Camp mason " to distinguish him from others of the name. The father became " Sergeant " of the second company trainband, cer- tainly in 1697 and perhaps earlier, and apparently served as " Lieutenant " before he was officially appointed by the General Court, in October, 1698. In the record of his mar- riage in 1695 he bears that title, though the record may have been made some time afterward, when the births of his chil- dren were recorded. About 1709, he was also chosen Dea- con of the church, and in a deed of December 5, 1710, that was indexed at the time as that of " Lieutenant Camp," he SEVENTH GENERATION. 159 is called " Samuel Camp Deacon." This title sufficed to distinguish him in the later years of his life. He is posi- tively identified in 1691 as an overseer of the estate of Na- thaniel Briscoe, husband of Mary Camp, daughter of Ed- ward, 1st, as " Samuel Camp Sen'' her brother." He ap- peared later in that capacity. [Milford Land Records, II : 136; New Haven County Court Records, I: 190.] Samuel Camp was one of the proprietors of New Milford in 1706, and in the list is named " Lieutenant Camp," his son Samuel being called " Mason." He did not, however, remove tliither, but died in Milford about 171Y. In 1715 he deeded land to his son Enos of Milford, and appears to have been living June 18, 1717, when " Samuel Camp the fourth of Milford " deeded land to his " honored father Samuel Camp of Durham." All that remained of his gravestone in 1889, bore the inscription : " Here lyes buried the body of Deacon Samuel Camp died ." [Pond's " Inscriptions on Tombstones in Milford," — New Haven Historical Society Papers, Vol. 5.] Samuel Camp, son of Lieutenant Samuel and grandson of Edward 1st, was bom in Milford, May 20, 1675, being the son of Samuel Camp's first wife Hannah Betts. As stated above he was by trade a mason and became known by that title. In a deed marked in the margin as that of " Samuel Camp, mason," it is stated that he was the son of Lieutenant Samuel Camp. As therefore it is known that he was the Samuel bom in 1675, it must have been Lieuten- ant Samuel who married Hannah Betts. In another deed, with tlie same marking, Natlianiel Farrand and Anna, his wife, deed to their " brother " Samuel Camp. [Milford Land Records, IV: 117, 307, 308.] The heirs of Timothy lecft BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. Baldwin in 1704 were Mary Camp, Billing Baldwin, and Anna Baldwin, who that year married Nathaniel Farrand. [New Haven County Court Records, I: 144, 165, 532, 533.] Moreover James Beard, son of Captain John Beard whose daughter Mary was tlie wife of Timothy Baldwin, in his will, dated February 14, 1709-10, says, " I give unto my cousins Mary Camp and Anna Farrand and Billing Baldwin, children of my sister Mary," twenty shillings. [New Haven Probate Records, III: 198, 199.] Samuel Camp, '' mason," married Mary Baldwin about 1700. His gravestone in Milf ord has the following epitaph : " Mr. Samuel Camp Sen"" died March ye 13tli, 1743-4, in ye 69th year of his age." His wife Mary Baldwin Camp died October 29, 1733. In her will, proved December 3, 1733, she names her husband Samuel Camp, her eldest son Jonathan, sons Samuel and Gideon, a daughter Mary the wife of John Camp and a daughter Hannah the wife of Heth Peck. The fact is stated, however, that she had four daugh- ters. [New Haven Probate Records, VI: 121.] In his will, dated June 9, 1743, and proved April 9, 1744, he men- tions his " present wife," with whom a jointure had been made, sons Jonathan, Samuel and Gideon and daughters, Mary, Hannah, Abigail, and Sarah. [Ibid. VI: 548.] This family was as follows: Timothy, born April 1, 1701, died before 1733 ; Jonathan, bom December 17, 1702 ; Samuel, born November 17, 1704, died in Milford, February 17, 1773 in his 68th year; Mary, born January 4, 1706, married John Camp; Hannah who married Heth Peck; Abigail, Sarah, and Gideon. An exhaustive search of the Milford records shows tliat the apparent confusion as to the identity of the various per- SEVENTH GENERATION. 161 sons named Samuel Camp is due largely to the transfer of tlie titles " Senior " and " Junior." Still there was no con- fusion in the mind of the clerk who used them. From about 1670 to 1676 there was only one of the name who was of age and no distinguishing title was necessary — he being called simply " Samuel Camp " — the subject of this sketch. Later, however, Samuel, son of Nicholas, 2nd, appears, born in 1655, who was called at first " Samuel Camp," but from 1685 to 1694 was called " Samuel Camp Jun'," the elder being " Samuel Camp Sen^" Then as the latter assumed the military title " Sergeant," and later " Lieutenant," the former was known as simply " Samuel Camp " or " Samuel Camp Sen""," to distinguish him from Samuel, the son of Lieutenant Samuel, who was called " Junior." The latter was in his turn displaced by the appearance of Samuel, the son of Samuel and grandson of Nicholas, 2nd, born in 1683, who became " Junior " or " Samuel Camp the fourth," and the title " mason " was given to the former instead of " Junior." This procession continued to the great annoy- ance of modern genealogists, for some years, for Edward 2nd, son of Edward 1st, had a son Samuel, born about 1690, and Samuel, son of Samuel and grandson of Edward, 1st, had a son Samuel, bom in 1704, and there were others later. 83. The Milford records have the following entry : " Samuel Camp of Milford and Hannah Betts of ISTorwalk were married tliirteentli November one thousand six hundred seventy-two, by Mr. Olmstead, Commissioner at Norwalk." This could have been none other than the first marriage of Samuel Camp the son of Edward, 1st. The evidence may be 21 162 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. summarized as follows: (1) This Samuel Camp was the only one of marriageable age in Milford, having been born about 1648. (2) The church records have the entry: " 1673 Sept. 7. Samuel Camp and his wife admitted and he bapt^ on the same day. She buried Jan^ 24, 80." His baptism is also recorded in the church list. If we suppose that Samuel, the son of Nicholas, 1st, grew to maturity, he was baptized in September, 1645, and Samuel, the son of Nicholas, 2nd, was baptized May 18, 1662, and both are recorded. The fathers were particular not to baptize the same person twice. (3) Samuel Camp, the son of Samuel Camp and Hannah Betts, born May 23, 1675, is positively identified as the one called " mason," who died March 13, 1743-4 " in his 69tli year," and the Milford deeds state that he was the son of " Lieutenant " Samuel, who must there- fore have married Hannah Betts. (4) The death of Hannah Betts Camp, the month before Mary Camp Lane, the mother of Lieutenant Samuel, accounts for the absence of her name in the \vill of Mrs. Lane, dated February 22, 1680, when all the others of that family were remembered. The Milford records give no further information concern- ing the ancestry of Hannah Betts than her residence; but she was tlie daughter of Thomas Betts of Norwalk, and was bom at Guilford, November 12, 1652. Her father outlived her, dying in 1688, which accoimts for the fact that she was not named in his will. We have also in the Milford town records this marriage : " Samuel Camp & Mary Camp were married the tentli day of Ocf 1682 by Major Treat." As elsewhere proven Samuel Camp, the son of Edward 1st, could not have married Mercy Scofield as some have claimed, and he alone could have been SEVENTH GENERATION. 163 the person above named. This is negative evidence it is ad- mitted, but considering all the circumstances it has great weight. It is assumed that the form of the record, according to the manner of such entries in Milford, means that the maiden name of this wife was MARY CAMP, and she was doubtless the daughter of William Camp (ISTo. 166) and Mary Smith (No. 167), and was born in Milford, March 22, 1663-4. She died not long after 1691. The above Samuel Camp is certainly the one referred to in the following records: "Lieu. Samuel Camp, mason, & Rebecca Canfield were married April 28, 1695 by Robert Treat Deputy Governor." She was Rebecca Adkinson, the vndow of Thomas Canfield, 2nd, who had died in 1689, and of whose estate " Samuel Camp Sen"" " at that time so- called, was one of the overseers. In a case before the New Haven County Court, March 25, 1703, " Lieu* Samuel Camp, husband to Thomas Canfield, Senior's, widow " ap- peared in behalf of said widow and her children. Thus it happened that Thomas Canfield, 3rd, the son of Rebecca and Mary the daughter of Lieutenant Samuel Camp, who were afterwards married, were associated in the same household in Milford. It is recorded tliat " Rebecca Camp, wife of Deacon Camp " died in Milford, March 28, 1710-11. Children of Samuel Camp. I. Samuel, " mason," b. in Milford, May 20, 1675. IT. Hannah, b.

He came to Wall- ingford as one of the original settlers with his father in 1670, and received land in the early allotments. He was accepted as a planter and a home-lot was assigned to him December 5, 1683. Later he held other lands, and in 1714 deeded tracts to his sons, Samuel and Isaac. John Moss died in Wallingford March 31, 1717, and administration on his estate was granted to his wife, Martha and son, Samuel, June 18, 1717. His inventory amounted to £500 12s. 7d. and the following children are mentioned in the distribution: Samuel, John, Solomon, Isaac, Esther Maltbie, Martha Stent and Mary Munson.

SAMUEL HALL, son of John Hall (No. 172) and Jeanne Wollen (No. 173), was born in New Haven, Conn., and baptized there May 21, 1646. In 1670, he removed to Wallingford and became one of the founders of that town, with his father, John Hall, and his brothers, John and Thomas. Here he shared in all the experiences of a new settlement, receiving his proportion of the various divisions of land. He drew one of the home-lots that were laid out in 1689 and probably lived there. " He owned much land in the vicinity of Meriden, several hundred acres over in Cheshire and considerable tracts in New Haven. He had bought Thomas Judd's 'propriety' in Waterbury. He had erected a mill in Wallingford where he sawed lumber and manufactured the wooden dishes which in those days adorned the settlers' tables." In King Philip's war, Samuel Hall is numbered among the garrison at Punkapauge, and he became in 1696, Lieuten- ant of the trainband, being made Captain in 1704. He was also chosen one of the Deacons of the church in 1716, the 166 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. record being that " Capt. Hall, Sr., shall sit in the deacon's seat, and Capt. Hall, Jr., in the first pne." He was also Deputy to the General Court in 1698 and at several sessions later. It is evident that he was one of the most prominent and highly honored men in the to"svn. Samuel Hall died in Wallingford, March 5, 1725, aged 77, and is buried in the Wallingford cemetery. After dili- gent search, no record has been found of the disposition of his estate. Much of his land was disposed of before his death. 87. The wife of Samuel Hall was HANNAH WALKEE, daughter of John Walker (No. 174) and Grace, his wife, who was born probably in New Haven, September 26, 1646, married in May, 1668, and died in Wallingford, December 20j 1728.

His name does not appear in the census of SEVENTH GENERATION. 167 1641-43. On August 5, 1644, Richard Harrison, Sen., assented to the oath of fidelity, and the same year Richard Harrison, Jr. Thomas Harrison gave his assent April 4, 1654, having then been a resident some years. It is all but proven that Richard, Sen., was the father of Richard, Jr., and Thomas, who were brothers, as John Harrison of Bran- ford, bachelor, son of Richard, Jr., who removed to Newark, N. J., in May, 1666, mentions in his will his father, Richard, and his uncle, Thomas. If this Richard was the witness in the following document and brother of the Elizabeth mentioned, as is altogether probable, Thomas was the son of Richard Harrison, Sen. ; he had a sister, Elizabeth Lyne, and the family came to New Haven from West Kerby, Cheshire, England: " 1668 June 18.

[New Jersey Archives, XXI: 29.] Thomas Harrison removed to Branford in 1667 with his father-in-law, Eleazer Stent, and was one of the principal men in the early history of that town. He acquired several tracts of land, especially in the northern section, now North Branford. In 1677 and 1678 he was Deputy from the town to the General Court. Thomas Harrison died in 1703 or 1704, his will being dated October 20, 1703, and the inventory of his estate being taken January 5, 1704. It amounted to £919 17s. 6d., and in- cluded several tracts of land. In his will he mentioned his 168 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. children, among whom his property was distributed. [New Haven Probate Records, III: 56.] 89. Thomas Harrison married, 1st, at 'New Haven in 1656, Ellen, the widow of John Thompson, Sen., whose estate was inventoried Feb, 5, 1655-56. She was doubtless the second wife of Mr. Thompson, who had at his death several children grown to maturity. Her death occurred about 1665, and Thomas and Nathaniel, who are called in the will of Thomas Harrison his " eldest sons," were her children. He married, 2nd, in New Haven, March 29, 1666, ELIZABETH STENT, daughter of Eleazer Stent (No. 178), who died before 1704. Childeen of Thomas Haerison. I. Thomas, b. in N. IL, Mch. 1, 1656-7; m.

He was an exten- sive land-owner in Saybrook, and early acquired land in the Pattecunk section of the town, later set off as Chester. Abraham Waterhouse died in Saybrook in June, 1750, aged 76 years. His will, dated May 12, 1741, was exhibited by his son, John, June 28, 1750, and the inventory of his estate, taken July 2nd, amounted to £728 Os. lOd. [Guilford Probate Records, IV: 591, 634-636.] He was distinguished as " Junior " until he was about forty-five years of age, and was also called " Sergeant." He may have been the person called " Captain " in several instances, though that title was more commonly applied to his son, Abraham. 22 170 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. 93. Abraham Waterhouse married, November 12, 1697, as his first wife, HANNAH STAEKIE, who was the mother of his children. She died about 1725, and he married, 2nd, in 1727 or later, Abigail Filer, daughter of Zerubabel Filer and Experience Strong, who was born August 8, 1683. She was a member of the Saybrook church November 17, 1736. Her first husband had been Jonathan Deming of Wethers- field, born November 27, 1661, married January 5, 1708-9, and soon after the death of Mr. Waterhouse she removed to that town where she died December 24, 1754. Her estate was divided among the heirs of her first husband. [Hartford Probate Eecords, XVII : 114 ; Talcott's Notes on New York and New England Families, p. 503.] She had two years before, as " Mrs. Abigail Waterous late of Saybrook but now of Wethersfield," in a document dated November 13, 1752, and in consideration of money paid to her by Abraham, John, and Gideon Waterous, given up all her rights in the estate of her husband the " late Abraham Waterous " their father.

II SEVENTH GENERATION. 171 with his uncle, Jonah Wolcott of Salem, Mass., but on the death of his father he returned to live in Wethersfield. He lived on the west side of Main street, where the Webb man- sion, famous as the headquarters of General Washington, now stands. Captain Wolcott was one of the leading merchants of Wethersfield, and one of the most active of its men in public affairs, holding nearly all the town offices. In October, 1705, he was made Captain of the Hartford County dragoons, and in May, 1725, received his commission as Captain of the Second Company or trainband in Wethersfield. He died in 1734, and his gravestone in the Wethersfield cemetery has the following inscription: Here lyes Buried I the Body of | Capt. Samuel Wolcott, | Who died Sep'tr ye IS*'* 1734, in I the 58**^ year of his Age. His estate was inven- toried November 18, 1734, and amounted to £5097 2s. lOd. In his will, dated August 29, 1734, he mentions all his chil- dren, among them " Abigail, the wife of Abraham Water- ous." [Hartford Probate Kecords, XII: 261-266.] 95. ABIGAIL COLLINS, the wife of Samuel Wolcott, was, as her gravestone declares, the " Daughter of y* Rev'd Mr. Nathaniel Collins, of Middletown " (No. 190) and Mary Whiting (No. 191), and was born in Middletown, July 31, 1681. Her marriage occurred December 27, 1705. She died in Wethersfield, where she is buried, February 6, 1758, " in the 77*** year of her age." She received by her husband's will all the estate which she brought to him at their marriage and one-third of his movable estate. 172 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. Children of Samuel and Abigail Wolcott. I.

ROBERT FRANCIS, who was perhaps the son of Richard Francis of Cambridge, or John Francis of Brain- tree, Mass., was born about 1628, and settled in Wethers- field, Conn., it is believed, about 1650. His name is first found in a record of the Particular Court, March 7, 1650-51, where he appears as plaintiff in a suit against John Hollister. [Particular Court Records, II : 19.] On the 29th of March, 1652, he recorded his homestead in Wethersfield, situated on the north side of the highway now known as Hartford Avenue, and described as '' One pece whereon his house standeth con : thre acrs on half e more or lese. the ends Abuts Against the way south and Tho: Standish north, the sids against the house Lot of John Karingtons west & mr. wels East." [Wethersfield Land Records, I: 194.] It had earlier belonged to John Lattimer. This tract of land has remained in the possession of the Francis family down to the present time, and is now owned and occupied by the heirs of John and Maria Francis, lineal descendants of the settler. SEVENTH GENERATION. 173 The house of Robert Francis has preserved its identity from the earliest years of Wethersfield history down to the present time. Its frame may still be seen in the building on the lot described above, and now used as a house for the storage of corn, wood, and wagons, removed about one hun- dred feet from its original location. The timbers are of white oak, large and sound, and very heavily braced, though the roof joists are badly decayed. The building has been recovered and reshingled, perhaps several times; but it has always been known by the Francis residents of the home- stead as " the old house." It is about thirty by eighteen feet in size and has two stories. It is now owned by Miss Jennie Francis, in whose direct line the lot has been from 1651. Robert Francis was one of the fifty-eight freemen given in the list of 1669. He was elected Fence-viewer in 1672, and Surveyor of Highways in 1675, the only offices, so far as known, that he held. He drew lands in the allotments of 1670 and 1695. Robert Francis died in Wethersfield, January 2, 1711-12, aged 83 years. He disposed of his property by deed of gift to his children. 97. The first name of the wife of Robert Francis was JOAN, but her surname before her marriage in 1650 is unknown. She died in Wethersfield, January 19 (29, g. s.) 1704-5, aged 76.

WILLIAM CHATTERTON of New Haven, Conn., of whom Hinman says, he was " perhaps the son of Michael Chatterton," who was one of the creditors of William Lotham in Connecticut in 1645, and may have been the same Michael Chatterton who was in Portsmouth, N. H., in 1640, first appears in New Haven in 1646 in the seating of the church. He was among those who took the oath of fidelity, April 7, 1657; was a "husbandman," and received land in New Haven in 1679, and perhaps earlier. Thereafter he owned various lands, and in 1704 gave land to his son, Samuel, a " weaver." On January 4, 1699-1700, William Chatterton deeded his homestead to his son, John, with the provision that the father and mother should live with the son and the latter should " pay six half-bushels of good merchantable corn per year on demand." [New Haven Land Records, 11:28.] He made his will on the 1st of February following, in which lie bequeathed to his wife one-third of his real and personal estate, to his son, John, " all that farm he stands now pos- sessed of given by deed of gift," to his son, Samuel, land in the Yorkshire district, and the rest of his estate was to be divided among five children, the name of Mercy, who was an heir, being omitted in the will as recorded. [New Haven Probate Records, III: 158, 159, 172.] The inventory of his SEVENTH GENERATION. 175 estate, taken by Samuel Clark and Mary Chatterton, execu- tors, June 13, 1709, amounted to £153 17s. 6d. It included " One Gun & sword " valued at 30s. 99. The wife of William Chatterton was MARY CLARK, daughter of James Clarke (No. 198), whom he married about 1660. After the death of her husband she lived some years in New Haven, but about 1717 went to live with her daughter, Mary Hotchkiss, in Wallingford, and died there February 3, 1722. In a document dated March 8, 1688-9, James and Samuel Clark, administrators of the estate of James Clarke, Senior, give William Chatterton, whom they term " our brother," power to act in behalf of his son, Samuel Chatter- ton, as an heir of James Clarke.

OBADIAH DICKINSON, son of Nathaniel Dickinson (No. 200) and Ann Gull (No. 201), was born in Wethers- field, Conn., April 15, 1641. At the age of eighteen he re- moved with his parents to Hadley, Mass. His home was in that section of the town which, in 1670, was incorporated as the town of Hatfield ; and he had been one of the petitioners for a separation in 1667. In the attack on Hatfield, September 19, 1677, his house was burned by the Indians, his wife severely wounded, and he and his child carried as captives to Canada. The year fol- lowing he was ransomed and returned to Hatfield, but soon removed to Wethersfield, where the last years of his life were spent. At Wethersfield Sergeant Dickinson was a man of consid- erable importance in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the townspeople. He was a Townsman in 1691 and 1692, and Constable in 1688, and at other times; and he was often chosen to serve on public committees. He is always called " Sergeant " in the records of the town ; and it is conjectured that he served under this title in King Philip's War, in which his brothers are known to have taken an active part. Obadiah Dickinson died in W^ethersfield, June 10, 1698, aged 57. In his will, dated June 7, 1698, he mentions his wife, Mehitabel, and children, Sarah Smith, Obadiah, Dan- iel, Eliphalet, Noadiah, and Mehitabel, He divided his " lands & houseing " in equal proportion among his three younger sons, saying of the eldest, " I know not if my son, Obadiah, be living." The inventory amounted to £678 8s. 8d.

Obadiah Dickinson married, 1st, in Hadley, Mass., Jan- uary 8, 1669, SARAH BEARDSLEY, daughter of William Beardsley (Xo. 202) and Mary, his wife, who was born in Stratford, Conn., about 1641. It is supposed that she died shortly after the birth of her son, Eliphalet. He married, 2nd, in 1690, Mehitabel Hinsdale, daughter of Samuel Hins- dale of Hadley, who was born October 18, 1663. She sur- vived her husband, but died before March 9, 1701-2. The two younger children, Xoadiah and Mehitabel, were by the second marriage. Children of Obadiah and Saeah Dickinson. I. Sarah, b.

In the church records of Farmington, whither his father removed in 1641, it is stated that he was " seventeen years old about Jan., 1657." He lived in Farmington, where he and his wife, Mary, were members of the church in March, 1679. His father had, during his lifetime, " allotted to his foiire sonns each of them a fifth part of his lands in Farmington," and ^8 178 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. at the distribution of the estate in 1680 Jacob, the eldest son, received £72 2s. Jacob Bronson deeded to his son, Jacob, September 2, 1705, forty-one acres of land east of " Blew hill mountain," a lot formerly belonging to William Higginson. On April 16, 1701, he also deeded to his son, Samuel, the land on which his son's dwelling house stood; and on January 15, 1707-8, he gave land to William Harris as part of the dowry of his daughter, Elizabeth. [Farmington Land Records, I: 28; II: 114, 122.] He died in 1708. His will, dated March 13, 1707-8, and offered for probate April 5, 1708, mentions a wife, Mary, and among other children, a daughter, Rebecca Dickinson. His inventory amounted to £166 Is. 2d., and was taken March 25, 1708. [Hartford Probate Records, VII: 187, 188.] 103. Of the wife of Jacob Bronson nothing more is known than her first name, MARY.

JOSEPH WEIGHT, son of Thomas Wright (No. 208) and his first wife, was born, probably, in Wethersfield, Conn., about 1639. He was a cooper by trade. In 1662 he received from his father a homestead on the east side of High street near the burying ground. This he conveyed to the town for use as a parsonage in 1664, receiving a lot with an old school- house on it, on the west side of Rose lane (Main street) in exchange. This he conveyed to Hugh Welles in 1665, and received in exchange a lot on the east side of High street, north of his first home. Joseph Wright was chosen Constable in 1672 and 1703 ; Tov5Tisman in 1690 and 1691. He also held many minor offices. He was called " Captain " in 1690, and " Corporal " in 1703. He was also a Deacon in the church. He was buried in the Wethersfield cemetery, where his gravestone has this inscription: Here | lyeth the | body of Decon | Joseph Wright, | who departed | this life the 17^** | day of December, | Anno Dom. 1714, | aged 75 years. His estate was inventoried at £499 18s. 9d. In his will, dated February 14, 1711-12, he mentions his wife, Mercy, and living children. [Hartford Probate Records, IX: 21.] 105. The first wife of Joseph Wright was Mary Stoddard, daughter of John Stoddard (No. 210) and Mary Foote (No. 211), who was born in Wethersfield, Conn., March 12, 1643-4, and married December 10, 1663. She died there August 23, 1683, Joseph Wright married, 2nd, in Wethers- field, March 10, 1685, MERCY STODDARD, the younger sister of his first wife, who was born in November, 1652. 180 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY.

JONATHAN DEMING, son of John Deming (No. 212) and Honor Treat (No. 213), was born in Wethersfield, Conn., about 1639. He lived in his native town and was familiarly known as " Sergeant " Deming. In 1662 he received from the to\^^l a house lot of one and a quarter acres, taken from the upper end of Broad street, on the east side, near the home of the late W. W. Savage. He received also grants of land in Stepney Parish (now Rocky Hill). He was a Townsman in 1671, 1672, 1676, 1677, 1695, and perhaps in other years. He was Surveyor in 1677, and Fence Viewer in 1680. SEVENTH GENERATION. 181 The death of Sergeant Deming is thus recorded in the Wethersfield To^vn Records. " Jonathan Deming Senior Deceased on the 8th day of Janu'ry 1699 :1700 of a verry sudden death; being aged about, as he Computed 61 years.'| His will, dated March 27, 1696, mentions his wife, Elizabeth, and children, Jonathan, Thomas, Charles, Jacob, Benjamin,\ Sarah Riley, Comfort, Elusia, Elizabeth, Mary, and Ann. It also names a " son-in-law John Williams " in such a way as to raise the query whether there was not another older daughter who had married John Williams and died before March 27, 1696. Some think he was a first husband of his daughter Elusia. About 1730 the heirs, or some of them, are Thomas, Daniel, Benjamin, and Charles Deming, Ger- shom Butler, Stephen Riley, John Morton, John Edwards, Nathaniel Beckley, and Samuel Smith. [Wethersfield Land Records, VI: 240.] The inventory of his estate amounted to £550 14s. 4d. [Hartford Probate Records, VI : 135-139.] 107. The first wife of Jonathan Deming was Sarah, daughter of George Graves of Hartford, as proven by the latter's will. This marriage occurred November 21, 1660, and she died June 5, 1668. He married, 2nd, December 25, 1673, ELIZ- ABETH GILBERT, daughter of Josiah Gilbert (No. 214) and Elizabeth, his wife, who was born in Wethersfield, March 28, 1654, and died there September 8, 1714.

WILLIAM GOODRICH, son of John Goodrich and Margaret, his wife, was bom in England, near Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, and probably came to New England with his brother, John, both of them settling in Wethersfield, Conn. His earliest homestead, which was on the west side of Main street not far below the site of the present Baptist church, was purchased of Thomas Ufford (or Uffott) before March 3, 1646. It is described as " One pec whereon his house and barne standeth con Six acr more or lesse, the ends Abut on the way east, and the Comon west, John nott north.

[Wethersfield Land Records, I: 108.] In May, 1656, Ensign Goodrich was admitted a freeman of Connecticut, as appears from the Colonial records. We learn from the same source that he was elected Deputy to the General Court from Wethersfield during five terms between 1662 and 1666, and was one of the grand jury in May, 1662, In 1652 and in subsequent years he was often Juror of the Particular Court. An examination of the town records of Wethersfield shoAvs tliat he was Townsman or Selectman in 1654, 1660, 1662, 1666, 1667, 1671, and 1674; member of a committee " to nm line " between Hartford and Weth- ersfield, in 1657, and to provide a house for the minister, in 1660. In May, 1665, he was made Ensign of the trainband in Wetliersfield, and bore this title until his death. In March, 1675, he was appointed by the town one of a com- mittee to construct the " palisadoe," supposed to have been in the rear of the land where the Frederick Butler house now stands. Ensig-n William Goodrich died in 1676, leaving an estate inventoried, November 14, 1676, at £915 Is. 6d. In the distribution December 6, 1676, William received £150.

The wife of William Goodrich was SARAH MARVIN, daughter of Matthew Marvin (No. 218) and Elizabeth, his V 184 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. wife, who was born in Essex County, England, about 1632, and married William Goodrich in Hartford, Conn., October 4, 1648.

ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF WILLIAM GOODRICH. JOHN GOODRICH of Bury St. Edmunds, in the County of Suffolk, England, was the father of William Goodrich, the early settler in Wethersfield, Connecticut, his ancestry and descendants being fully determined and published in " The Goodrich Family in America " by La- fayette Wallace Case, M.D. John Goodrich was a clothier. He inherited from his father, William Gooderich of Heges- sett, Suffolk County, yeoman, by his will, dated April 4, 1631, and proved in the Archdeaconry Court of Sudbury, February 2, 1631-2, all the houses, lands, and tenements in SEVENTH GENERATION. 185 Hegessett, and was the executor of the will. The Christian name of his wife was Margerie or Margaret, who is men- tioned in the will of John Goodrich, dated April 14, 1632, and proved May 16, 1632, as also his sons, William Good- rich the elder, William Goodrich the younger, John Good- rich, and Jeremy Goodrich. John Goodrich, the father of this family, was buried April 21, 1632, the same being recorded in the Parish Kegister of St. Mary, Bury St. Ed- munds. William Goodrich tlie younger, was a clergyman, educated at Caius College, Cambridge, in Hegessett in 1678, willing property to sons of his brothers William the elder and John, who were the early settlers in Wethersfield. The English home of this family was, therefore, Hegessett, now called Hessett, which is six miles east of Bury St. Edmunds. Of this home and the family history in England, an account by Hon. Grant Goodrich is published in the above genealogy. 113. WILLIAM GOODRICH, See 'No. 108. 113. SARAH MARVIN, See No. 109. 114. BENJAMIN CHURCHILL, son of Josiah Churchill (No. 228) and Elizabeth Foote (No. 229), was born in Wethersfield, Conn., May 16, 1652. He lived in his native town and is said to have occupied his father's homestead after the latter's death in 1686. In his father's will was the following provision: " I give unto my son Benjamin, after the decease of my wife, my now Dwelling House & Homelott 24 186 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. & other Buildings upon sd. Lott, & 7 acres of Land in the Great Swamp, & 4 acres in Beaver Meadow, & half my 5-acre Lott at the upper End of the Great Meadow." He also received a legacy from his grandmother, Elizabeth (Deming-Foote) Welles, who died July 28, 1683, being one-quarter of her " Great Lott which Lyes at the further Bownds of the Towne." Lieutenant Churchill was many times elected to office. He was chosen Surveyor in 1676; Lister, 1681-1684, 1686, 1694; Constable, 1683, 1695; Townsman for 1690, 1691, 1700, 1701 ; and filled many other positions of lesser importance. In May, 1695, he was appointed by the General Court a member of a committee to settle the bounds of the lands on the east side of the " Great River " at Naubuc. He was made Lieutenant of the trainband in the northern part of Wethersfield, May 8, 1701, and in 1703, when the military operations in Queen Anne's War were commenced in the Colony, he was made Lieutenant of the Second Com- pany for Hartford County. Benjamin Churchill died in Wethersfield at an advanced age, it is believed in 1729. 115. Benjamin Churchill married, July 8, 1676, MARY, whose family name is unknown. She died in Wethersfield where her gravestone has this inscription : Here | lieth the | body of I Mary wife of | Benjamin Churehell | who died OctoVr I ye 30^'^ 1712. In ye 60"^ | year of her age.

JOHN DEMING, one of the most prominent of the early settlers of Wethersfield, Conn., came, it is believed, from Watertowu, Mass., in 1635.* It is said by some that the family were French Huguenots and that their name originally was DeMing, that they fled after the massacre of Saint Bartholomew to England and there changed their name to Deming. The Deming Genealogy, issued by Judson Keith Deming in 1904, claims that the name was a cor- ruption of the English name, Dammon, originally D'Ham- mond, " an ancient and illustrious family which has flour- ished in Surrey and Buckinghamshire in England and at Blois, and Cherbourg in France." [Damon Memorial, and Genealogy of the Descendants of John Deming.'] John, the settler, is believed to have been the son of John Deming * Authorities on the Deming Family are as follows : Treat's Geneal- ogy of the Treat Family, p. 32; Coe's Eall Memoranda, pp. 133-136; Goodwin's Genealogical Notes, pp. 233-236; Stiles's Hist, of Wethersfield, II: 272; The Damon Memorial, 1882; Deming's Genealogy of the De- scendants of John Deming. 188 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. living in England at the time of the emigration. He was born about 1615 and was twenty-two years of age when he came to ISTew England. His first homestead in Wethersfield, as recorded in 1641, was on High street just south of the land now owned and occupied by the heirs of Frederick Butler, Esq. It is entered in the Wethersfield Eecords, " 2d mo. & 25th day, 1641," as follows : " One pece wheron his house & bame standeth con five acr one halfe more or lesse (for fouer acr he is to paie rates, for the rest he haue made a gate into the mea: neare the same & likewise to continue & maintayne it) the ends abutt against hie streete west & great mea: east, the sids against the house lotte of Tho: Standish North & Ric: Crabbe South." [Wethersfield Land Records, I: 223.] He purchased at later times at least two other homesteads, but probably his life was spent on the first mentioned. John Deming was chosen a Townsman in 164Y, 1648, 1651, 1654, 1662, 1667, 1668; Deputy to the General Court at nineteen sessions between 1646 and 1665; and was one of the grantees named in the Charter in 1662. He was Constable in 1654, and served many times as Grand Juror, and Juror in the Particular Court. On February lY, 1685-6, a patent for all the territory then embraced in the town- ship of Wethersfield, was granted to the proprietors of the town. " Mr. John Deming Sr " was one of the nine propri- etors particularly mentioned in the patent. The exact date of his death has not been found, but his will, dated June 26, 1690, with a codicil, February 3, 1692, was exhibited by his son Samuel November 21, 1705. He probably died in 1705. In his will, he mentions his son John, " already done well for " ; Jonathan, to whom he bequeathed his " 50 SEVENTH GENERATION. 189 acre lot ;" Samuel, to whom his bequest was, " My house and homelott with all the buildings upon it," containing nine acres, a meadow of 17 acres, 12 acres in West swamp, all his sheep, cattle, horses, swine and the movables in his house, he paying the debts and funeral charges; David, who received all his " materials and tools " in his shop, book debts, he to pay those debts he owed about his trade; Ebenezer; and his daughters, Morgan, Beckley, Hurlburt, Moody, and Wright. He also names his " cousin Unis Stan- digge," " cousin Sarah Wyse wife of John Wyse " and his grandchild Ann Beckley. [Hartford Probate Kecords, VII : 132, 133.] 117. John Deming married in Wethersfield, in 1637, HONOR TREAT, daughter of Richard Treat (No. 234) and Alice Gaylard (his wife), who was born in Pitminster, Somerset County, England, in 1615, and baptized there March 19, 1615-16.

EMANUEL BUCK was an early settler in Wethers- field, Conn., and as he testified in Court in 1684 that he was sixty-one years old he was born in 1623. It is thought that he may have come to New England from Rowington, Warwickshire, England, the former home of John Kirby of Middleto\vn, whose daughter he married ; for in a mem- orandum in connection with the attempt of Joseph Kirby to recover an estate in Rowington, the latter is directed to ascertain what his " cousin Buck remembers of the people of Rowington." [Kirhy Genealogy, pp. 4, 5.] Emanuel Buck was the brother-in-law of Joseph Kirby, but the ref- erence is doubtless to one of the Buck family in Wethers- field. The earlier name of Emanuel Buck seems to have been Enoch, for in several instances the two names refer to the same person, though the reason for this change of name is a mystery. In connection with the settlement of the estate of John Kirby, he is several times called " Emanuel Buck alias Enoch Buck," and there are other proofs of this fact. In 1648, being then called " Enoch," he was before the Court and the same year was fined 10s. for " irregular speeches in Courte ag' RoV Rose when hee spake vppon his oath." [^Connecticut Colonial Records, I: 173, 177.] On Ma}'^ 21, 1657, he was made a freeman, and in 1669 he ia numbered among the freemen of Wethersfield as " Emanuel " Buck. The latter year, he was a Constable in Wethersfield. There he owned several tracts of land. His homestead was purchased from Edward Scott of Farmington in 1659. The town gave him a triangular piece of three rods in 1661 and he bought, in 1664, the homestead of Henry Palmer, consist- SEVENTH GENERATION. 191 ing of four and one-half acres. Later, he acquired lands on the west side of the town and in Rocky Hill. He bought of John and Esther Burr in 1660, a tract which was claimed later by the heirs of James Boosey. He was for several years a Townsman of Wethersfield and did various services, especially in the settlement of estates. In March, 1704-5, when Joseph Kirby moved for the settlement of his father's estate, it is said of Emanuel Buck, who was the only living executor of the will, that he was " not capable of acting by reason of his age and infirmities." He was living in 1705, but died probably within a few years, as the record of his wife's death calls her " Widow Mary Buck." No will or administration on his estate has been found. He distributed some of his property by deed to his children. 119. The baptismal name of the first wife of Emanuel Buck was Sarah. Perhaps she was a sister of John Riley of Wethersfield or his wife, for in his will in 1674, he refers to his " Brother Emanuel Buck." He married her about 1649, and she died about 1656, leaving three children. He married 2nd, April 17, 1658, MARY KIRBY, who was then very young for such an alliance, if born as claimed in 1644. She died January 17, 1711-12. She is frequently named in documents relating to the settlement of the estate of John Kirby, her father (No. 238), and in 1707, she had received therefrom £52 15s. Od. and there was due her and her son David £14 16s. Od. There was also a considerable sum then undivided. 192 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. Children of Emanuel Buck. I. Ezekiel, b. Jan. 15, 1650; m.

His home lot of four acres in 1661 was on the east side of Broad street at the south end, between the homesteads of John Robbins and the heirs of Nathaniel Foote. John 194 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. Betts of Wethersfield also deeded to his " brother " Nathaniel Graves in 1662, twenty-three acres of land, and he bought from the widow of John Lattimer, the twenty acres next north in 1671. He settled that portion of the estate of his father, Thomas Graves, which was located in Connecticut, being the " house lot of 3 acres whereon he liveth." He was a Juror in 1659 and 1660, Surveyor in Wethersfield in 1661, and Constable in 1674. JSTathaniel Graves died in Wethersfield, September 28, 1682, aged about 53 years.

ELEAZER STENT was an early settler in New Haven, but his name does not appear in the census of 1641-43. It is believed that he came to New England about that time. The tradition in the Stent family is that a clergyman of this name emigrated from England for Virginia, but died on the passage, leaving a widow and son who later found his way to New Haven. Eleazer Stent had a son born to him in January, 1645, named Eleazer, and a daughter Elizabeth (No. 89). No other children are kno"UTi, and he probably died within a few vears. His widow married Thomas Bea- mond of New Haven, who died about 1687. His step-son, Eleazer Stent of Branford, was appointed administrator on Thomas Beamond's estate, and in several deeds of land in 1687, calls " Thomas Beamond of New Haven," his " father- 238 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. in-law." Eleazer Stent of Branford, one of the original settlers there, married Elizabeth, daughter of John Butler of Hartford, had a large family and died in 1706. 180. ROBEET DENISOX became a settler in Milford, Conn, in 1645, and a home-lot was recorded to him Decem- ber 28, 1646.* This lot was of three acres and was bought of Nathan Gould, later of Fairfield. It was located in the " upland " tier between James Prime and Zachariah Whit- man. [Milford Land Records, I: 81, 103; Atwater's His- tory of New Haven Colony, p. 155.] He owned later vari- ous other tracts of land, in " Adding Plaine," the " Indian Planting Field," and the north Meadow. In 1655, he was one of the purchasers of the lands called Paugasuck (Derby), but sold his interest to Edward Riggs [Derby Records, pp. 3-13]. He was one of the company of thirty persons who emigrated from Milford in May, 1666, and founded the town of Newark, New Jersey. On June 24, 1667, he signed the " fundamental agreements " entered into by the found- ers of the txywn. He was given a lot adjoining that of Rev. Mr. Pierson whose immediate neighbor on the other side was Robert Treat. He died in Newark before 1676 in which year a survey was made for his " Widow " Esther Denison. 181. The name of the first v^ife of Robert Denison is un- known.

JARVIS (GERVASE) BOYKIN emigrated to I^ew England in 1635 from Charington, County Kent, England, and settled first in Charlestown, Mass., but removed to New Haven at its first settlement, and assented to the original compact of government in 1639.* In 1643, he had a family of two persons, an estate of £40, and about twenty-three acres of land, seven of which were in the first division. He was a carpenter by trade and was probably solicited to join the New Haven company. " He was useful and trustworthy in his calling. In building the first meeting house, and in the repairs which were made on it from time to time, his advice was always sought In the latter part of his life he had accumulated some property, and he was employed as an agent for managing property by several who had re- moved from New Haven." [Neiv Haven Historical Society Collections, I: 40.] Jarvis Boykin was elected Townsman in 1651, the first year when such were chosen ; and is successively called " Corporal " and " Sergeant " in the records, titles received * On the Boykin Family see : Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, I: 226; Massachusetts Historical Society Collections, 3d Ser.

The Christian name of the wife of Jarvis Boykin was ISxiBEL, and her family name is unknown. It is thought that they were married in England. She died in 1673, the inventory of her estate being taken in January of that year. It amounted to £216 14s. 2d., including the homestead valued at £50. In her will she mentions her son, Nathaniel, and daughters, Sarah Boykin and Denison. To the latter she bequeathed " one pewter platter," and to her children one-half of some goods that may be sent to her from England, the other half to be divided between Nathaniel and Sarah.

He had lands recorded there January 24, 1664, and he, " Mr. Sam" Collins " his brother, and others, " were p'"esented to stand for freemen " May 9, 1667. The church was gathered J^o- vember 4, 1668, and he was ordained its first minister. The General Court in 1681 granted Nathaniel Collins a " farm of two hundred acres," " for his good services in sundry Expeditions and Engagements against the Indian Enemy," and at the May Session in 1687, it was ordered to be laid out to his heirs. Cotton Mather, in speaking of the Rev. ISTathaniel Collins and his ministry, says : — " The church of Middletown upon Connecticut river was the golden candlestick from whence this excellent person illuminated more than the whole colony ; and all the qualities of most exemplary piety, extraordinary ingenuity, obliging affability, joined with the accomplish- ments of an extraordinary preacher did render him truly excellent." When he died " there were more wounds given to the whole colony of Connecticut .... than the body of Csesar did receive when he fell wounded in the Senate-House." Cotton Mather issued in 1685 " An Elegy on the much- to-be-deplored Death of that ITever-to-be-forgotten Person the Rev. Nathaniel Collins." Mr. Collins died in Middleto\TO, December 28 (21), 1684.

He is named in the census of 1641-1643, and then had four persons in his family, an estate of £50, and about 37 acres of land in various places. In 1648 he was late at the training and on the Sab- bath, and was reproved. His excuse was the sickness of his wife. Mr. Clarke does not seem to have been very fond of attendance at training, and on one occasion he was absent altogether. He died in 1688, in New Haven. His sons, James and Samuel, administered his estate. 199. The name of the first wife of James Clarke is unknown. She doubtless came with him from England, was living, and perhaps in ill health, in 1648, and died about 1660.

NATHANIEL DICKINSON, one of the early proprie- tors of Wethersfield, Conn., was the son of William and Sarah (Stacey) Dickinson, of Ely, Cambridge, England, where he was born in 1600. It is said that he embarked at Gravesend 246 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. about 1630 for New England, and settled first at Watertown, Mass. He was, however, in Wethersfield as early as 1637, and recorded there, March 7, 1649, a homestead situated at the lower end of Broad street on the west side. Fourteen pieces of land are entered at this time. He was chosen the second Recorder, or Town Clerk, in 1640, and held the office until 1659. From 1646 to 1656 he was Deputy to the General Court at nineteen sessions. He was also one of the first Townsmen of whom we have any record, holding this office from 1646 to 1656. On October 16, 1642, he was a Juror of the Particular Court, and again in 1654, 1657, and 1658; Juror of "Quarter Courte " in 1656, 1658; Juror of Court of Magistrates in 1658, and Grand Juror, 1650 and 1654. At a session of the General Court held May 21, 1653, Mr. Wells and he were appointed a committee for the town of Wethersfield to " press men into service " for the expedition against the Dutch, pursuant to the action of the United Colonies. In October, 1654, the same committee was chosen to secure soldiers for the cam- paign against the iSI^arraganset Indians. When the religious controversies which had so long divided the people of Wethersfield into opposing factions reached a climax in 1659, Nathaniel Dickinson was one of those present at a meeting held in Hartford, at Goodman Ward's house, in April, and agreed with those assembled to leave Connecticut and seek a more congenial home in Massa- chusetts. Accordingly, when, during the same year, the migration to Hadley was commenced, Mr. Dickinson became a leading spirit in the movement. He, with many others who were unwilling to submit to certain restrictions which the church wished to impose, left Wethersfield, with their iMJAn- t^. yrn^ \f u i^ i«.o^ ^f^-offt^ ^^"' Cnpi^*' oj-'<^^^xrj^^ fwjvt^Z-^M.t^Xt-tjr^Ct^i7-t ^^£^Ri i-' -^l ^ ^ LETTER OF NATHANIEL DICKINSON lO SAMUEL I'.OKKMAN, OCTOBER i6, 1666.

He erected a house in the extreme southeast end of the village, on land received in the first allotment, and was made a free- man in 1661. At Hadley, as at Wethersfield, Nathaniel Dickinson was one of the leading men. He was chosen its first Recorder, and was one of the first Deacons of the church. He was one of the committee of seven chosen in town-meeting to build the first meeting-house in Hadley. When the Hopkins Fund was established " for the breeding up of hopeful youths in a way of learning, both at the grammar School and College," he was one of the five " able and pious men " chosen by the town to take charge of the bequest. Nathaniel Dickinson, toward the end of his life, resided for a few years in Hatfield, but returned to his old home in Hadley, where he died June 16, 1676. 301.

WILLIAM BEARDSLEY, one of the first settlers and an original proprietor of Stratford, Conn., came to New England in 1635, embarking at London in April of that year with his family in the ship " Planter."* The family * Autliorities on William Beardsley and his family are as follows: Hinman's Puritan Settlers of Connecticut, pp. 167, 168; Orcutt's His- tory of latratford, pp. 1130-1142. EIGHTH GENERATION. 261 tradition given by Hinman was that he came from Strat- ford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England, but Orcutt in his History of Stratford and other authorities state that he emigi'ated with Rev. Adam Blakeman from St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England. He went first to Hadley, Mass., and was enrolled as a freeman December 7, 1636. In 1638 he went to Hartford and in the spring of 1639 became a settler at Stratford. William Beardsley shared in the original distribution of land, in Stratford, his home lot being on the east side of Elm street near the meeting house. In the affairs of the town he was soon recognized as a leader. He is described as " a man of worth and substance." In 1645 he was one of the two Deputies to the General Court and served in that honorable ofiice for seven years. When preparations were being made in 1648 for waging war with the Dutch, he was chosen with Mr. Ludlow and Mr. Hull " to take care for preparing the soulgers in the two (seaside) townes." Again in 1651 Andrew Wade, George Hull, and William Beardsley were " propounded for assistants to joine with the magistrates for the execution of justice in the Townes by the seaside." He also served in 1653 in determining the boundaries between Eairfield and ISTorwalk. He died in Stratford in 1660. His will was dated September 28th of that year and his inventory was taken February 13, 1660-61. It amounted to £333 15s. 8d. He mentioned in his will sons John, Joseph, Samuel, and Daniel, and his " daughters that are now married," and he had other younger children. 252 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. 303. The christian name of William Beardsley's wife was MAKY or MAHIA, and her family name has not been ascertained. At the time of their emigration he was aged 30, his wife 26, and they had a daughter Mary aged 4, and sons John and Joseph aged 2 and 6 months respectively. She was bom therefore in 1609.

Some say he was descended from John Wright, Bishop of Bristol, Winchester, and Lichfield, and was a cousin of Mr. Nathaniel Wright of London, one of the assistants of the first General Court of Massachusetts before the government was transferred to Boston. Others declare that he was the son of John Wright of Brook Hall, a great-grandson of John Wright, Lord of Kelvedon Manor. It is also said he was at Swamscott, now Exeter, in 1629 254 BOARD^IAN ANCESTRY. being one of the company of Colonel John Wheelwright, as appears from a deed given to them by the Indian Saga- mores, and that he was admitted a freeman at Exeter in 1640. Stiles in his History of Wethersfield says he came first probably to Watertown. He appeared at Wethers- field, Conn., about 1640, a house lot being recorded to him February 11, 1640-41, and he was one of the jurors at a Particular Court in Hartford September 4, 1643. He held the office of Townsman in 1658-9 and was for many years a deacon in the church. The earliest homestead of Thomas Wright recorded was on the west side of High street. He was a prominent land owner, and obtained by purchase nearly all of the Great Island, since known as " Wright's Island," lying in the Connecticut River between the two great natural divisions of the original township. He died in April, 16Y0, his will being dated the 21st of that month and his inventory, amoimting to £101 15s., being taken the 29th. He confirmed by will a division of his land previously made among his sons, and made provi- sion for his wife Margaret. 209.

This period probably extended from 1651 to 1663. [Connecticut State Archives, Private Controversies, III: 128; N. E.

In 1668 he bought tAventy acres of Josiah Willard in the South Field, and in 1671, 140 acres of Gershom Bulkeley at Dividend. He also drew lands in the allotments of 1670 and 1694. He was elected Constable in 1664, Townsman in 1665, and Surveyor in 1667. He was chosen to collect the minister's rates in 1672. Little else is known of him, but there are reasons to believe that he was influential and respected in the community. Josiah Gilbert died in September, 1688. His estate was not settled for some years, but in that connection we have considerable light on his family and affairs. It appears that the value of his real estate amounted to £271 10s. 7d., and the total to £513 3s. Od. [Manwaring's Hartford Probate Records, I: 447-451.] 315. The baptismal name of tlie first wife of Josiah Gilbert was ELIZABETH, but her surname before marriage is un- known. This marriage occurred probably about 1651. She died October 17, 1682, about fifty years of age. He married 2nd, in January, 1687-8, Mary Harris, a daughter of Wil- liam Harris of Rowley, Mass., and sister of Hannah Harris, the wife of Francis Wliitmore of Middletown. She had married 1st, John Ward of Middletown, April 18, 1664, who died early in 1684. " An Agreement by and between Josiah Gilbert and Mary Ward, Widow, in the year of 1681," the date of which doubtless should be 1687, shows that she was to have the life use of certain lands, with " tow roomes in 260 BOAKDMAN ANCESTRY. the west end of the Dwelling house," and " one-Third part of his barn and out housing, fold, yards and with all free- dom convenience Therein: as allso one-Third part of his orchard," and an annuity of forty shillings in case of his death. She doubtless occupied the home with the younger children until 1696, her husband having died intestate, and the estate being until then undivided. The heirs then asked for a division which was made according to law, the widow having her portion as in the marriage agreement with certain property which she had brought to him. She died in 1721, when a final distribution was made. Children of Josiah and Elizabeth Gilbert. I. Benjamin, b. Sept. 22, 1652; m. Nov. 25, 1680, Mary, dau. of John Riley, and d. Dec. 9, lYll. She d.

MATTHEW MARVIN, born in England about 1600, emigrated to New England in 1635, making the voyage in the ship " Increase," accompanied by his wife, Elizabeth, and five children. From the records in the office of the " Rolls Court," in London, it is learned that Matthew Mar- vin and his family were recorded to be transported to New England, April 15, 1635. He was then thirty-five years old ; EIGHTH GENERATION. 261 his wife, Elizabeth, was thirty-one; his daughter, Sarah, three years old. They came from Essex County. [Talcott's Notes on New York and New England Families.'] He became one of the first settlers of Hartford, Conn., and his home-lot, in 1639, was on what is now the corner of Front and Pleasant streets. In 1639, and in 1647, he was chosen Surveyor of Highways. On June 19, 1650, he signed the agreement for the planting of Norwalk, Conn., and he was among those settlers who received a deed of land from Runckinheage, February 15, 1651. He represented the new town in the General Court in 1654. His name appears in a table of " Estates of lands and accommodations " in 1655 (which contains the earliest list of inhabitants), where his estate is rated at £314 Os. Od., and is the largest of any of the proprietors. His earliest house-lot in Norwalk, granted him by the town, contained four acres, and adjoined the meeting-house yard on the east side of the " Towns High- way." His wife, Elizabeth, died, and he married 2nd, Mrs. Alice Kellogg. He died in Norwalk in 1687. Children of Matthew and Elizabeth Maevin.* I.

MATTHEW MARVIN. See No. 218. 338. JOSIAH, or JOSIAS CHURCHILL, born in England about 1615, was one of the early, but not among tlie first, settlers of Wetliersfield, Connecticut.* He is said to have come from Devonshire, England, in which county John Churchill, who became the Duke of Marlborough, was born in 1650. It is also said, as in the Boston Transcript of May 21, 1902, that Josias, John, and William Churchill, the ©migrants, were sons of Joseph Churchill of London. Josiah Churchill entered in the records of Wethersfield, April 28, 1641, his homestead on the east side of High street, just north of the road leading to the meadow. This land is described as follows: " One pece whereon his house standetli con: six acr^ more or less© Theands (the ends) abutt against the hie waie west & great mea: east. Thee sides against the wai© into the great mea : South & the house lott of John Jesiope North." He had probably arrived in Wethersfield a few years before the above date, and was liv- ing there in 1638, when he married. He sold his first home- stead in 1659, or before, and purchased one formerly belong- ing to Charles Taintor, where it is probable he afterwards lived. The Taintor homestead was on the west side of High street, the second lot north of Fort (now Prison) street, and a little south of his former home. In 1670, he drew eighteen acres of land in the Western Division, and in this section of the town many of his descendants dwelt. * See Churchill Genealogy ; Hiiiman's Puritan Settlers of Connecti- cut, pp. 590-596; Goodwin's Foote Genealogy, pp. 268flF.; Stiles's His- tory of Wethersfield, II: 219ff. EIGHTH GENERATION. 2G3 Josiali Churcliill held several offices in his town. He was Surveyor in 1665 and later; Constable in 1656 and 1669; Surveyor of Highways in 1672. He often served as Juror in the several courts between June, 1643, and March, 1675. He died January 1, 1686-7, possessed of an estate in- ventoried at £618 12s. 6d. At this time, he owned two home- lots and one hundred and ten acres of land. His vnll, which was dated November 17, 1683, mentions his wife, Elizabeth, sons and daughters. His son, Benjamin, received the old homestead at the death of his mother. " A great chist," marked J. C, descended to his son, Joseph. 329. The wife of Josiah Churchill was ELIZABETH FOOTE, daughter of I^athaniel Foote (m. 458) and Eliza- beth Deming (No. 459), who was born in England about 1616. Their marriage occurred in 1638, and probably in Wethersfield. She died there September 8, 1700, aged about 84 years. Children of Josiah and Elizabeth Churchill. I. Mary, b. Mch. 24, 1639 ; m. prob.

RICHAED TEE AT, son of Eobert Treat (Trott, Tratt, Tratte, Trat, Tret), was born in 1584, in Pitminster, Somer- set County, England, and was baptized August 28th of that year.* A brass tablet in the ancient church of South Trendle, parish of Trull, Pitminster, bears the following in- scription : " In Memory of /Eichard Treat, alias Ttott, Baptised in this Church, Aug. 28, 1584, who emigrated to New England with his family, in 1637, and was created one of the Patentees of the Charter of the Colony of Connecticut by King Charles II, in 1662. His son, Eobert Treat, was baptized February 25th, 1624, and was Deputy Governor and Governor of the Colony for 30 years. This brass was erected in 1902 by their descendant, John Harvey Treat of America." On April 27, 1615, he married in Pitminster, ALICE GAYLAED, baptized May 10, 1594, daughter of Hugh Gaylard. Mr. Treat came to New England in 1637, and it is supposed, settled in Wethersfield, Conn., soon after arriving. In 1641, his first recorded homestead was on the west side of Broad street, at the extreme northern end. This homestead, which he bought of Thurston Eayner, abutted on Broad street, S. E. ; a " Green or Common," IsT. W. ; home- lot of Samuel Hubbard, S. W. ; Short street (now Marsh Avenue), N. E. A few years later he bought the Matthew Mitchell homestead on Broad street, the second lot north of Fletcher's Lane. Mr. Treat was one of the prominent men of the Colony. He was chosen Deputy from his town in April, 1644, and annually for the next four years. He was Assistant or Mag- * See The Treat Family, by John Harvey Treat; Stiles's History of Wethersfield, II: 710flf. EIGHTH GENERATION. 265 istrate eight times from March, 1657 to 1665. In 1657, he was Constable, and Townsman in 1660, and probably earlier. He and his son-in-law, Mr. John Deming, were original pa- tentees named in the Charter granted April 23, 1662. His son. Major Kobert Treat, of Milford, was Governor of Con- necticut as above stated. Richard Treat died between Oct., 1669, and the follow- ing March. His widow survived him, but the date of her death has not been found. In his will, dated February 13, 1668, he names his wife Alice, sons Richard, Robert, and James, his sons-in-law, Matthew Campfield, and John Dem- ing, and daughters Honor and Joanna. The inventory of his estate, which was exhibited March 3, 1669-70, amounted to £69 10s. 8d. Children of Richard and Alice Treat. I. Honor (No. 117). II. Joanna, bap. May 24, 1618; m.

John Trott, of Staplegrove near Taunton, was perhaps the grandfather of Richard Trott, from whom the line of descent can be traced witliout any difficulty. His name occurs in the calendar of the Taunton Manor Rolls, 1458- 1479. He was probably the father of 11. William Trott, whose name occurs in these calendars as of the same parish and hundred of Staplegrove, 1503, 1504, and 1510. He had six children. III. Richard Trott died about 1571; married Joanna (per- haps the Joanna Trott buried in Otterford, August 14, 1577). In the Taunton Manor Calendar we find his name in Staplegrove, 1510; Poundisford, 1534; and Otterford, 1527 and 1540. He had five children. IV. Robert Trott baptized probably in Trendle, parish of Pitminster; buried February 16, 1599, in Pitminster; mar- ried Honora, who was buried September 17, 1627, in Pit- minster. He had six children. V. Richard Treat of Wethersfield. 238. JOHN KIRBY, the emigrant ancestor of this family, came to New England in the ship " Hopewell," Captain EIGHTH GENERATION. 267 Babb, Master, which sailed from London September 11, 1635.* He is recorded in the list of passengers as " Jo : Kerbie aged 12 years," and is the only person of that name in the list. From this fact it is inferred that he was in the care of some older person to be brought to friends in New England. Naturally, such person would be the one recorded just before him in the list, who was William Wood, with his wife and children, the author, probably, of " New England's Prospect." He was first an inhabitant of Lynn, and after- wards removed to Sandwich, being accompanied by Richard Kirby, later a well-known resident of the latter town. It is thought, therefore, that Richard Kirby was the brother, or a relative, of the boy, John Kirby, and that William Wood brought him over from England in pursuance of this plan. In this case, John Kirby spent his youth in Sandwich, Mass. Among those in Plymouth between the ages of sixteen and sixty " able to bear arms," in 1643, is John Kirby. He re- moved shortly afterward to Hartford, Connecticut, and in April, 1645, he and Seth Grant were engaged to herd the cattle of that town that were daily driven to the " cow pas- ture." In 1647 he removed to Wethersfield, the ear-mark of his stock being there recorded that year. Here he lived until 1652, or thereabouts, when he went to Middletown, where he spent the remainder of his life. It is thought by some that John Kirby had a brother, Joseph Kirby, who was early a resident of Hartford, that this was the reason for his coming thither from Plymouth, * Authorities on the Kirby Family are as follows : The Kirbys of New England, Dwight; Sage Genealogy, pp. 11 and 71; Coe's Hall Memoranda, pp. 229-231; Treat's Genealogy of the Treat Family, p. 32; Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, III: 30; Stiles's History of Wethersfield, II: 473if. 268 BOARDIklAN ANCESTRY. and that his brother, Joseph, through a son, John, and a grandson, Eoger, was the ancestor of the Kirbys afterwards of Middlebiiry, Conn. If so, Joseph Kirbj seems to have left no trace behind him, and it is in any case certain that the placing of Sarah Deming in this family is an error. John Kirby settled in that part of Middletown afterwards set off as Cromwell. His lands there were recorded January 10, 1655. They were located in the western part of Crom- well, " in the bend of the Mattabesett Kiver where it turns to the southeast." He became the owner of considerable land, including a tract of one hundred and thirty acres on the east side of Connecticut river, which was afterwards divided among the heirs of his daughter, Mary Buck, Sarah, the wife of Benjamin Churchill, being one. John Kirby was made a freeman in 1658, and was a man of influence in the section where he lived. The death of John Kirby occurred in 167Y. His inven- tory, amounting to £552 5s. lOd., was taken on the 27th of April, and his will was dated the 6th of April. In it he bequeathed the use of all his estate to his wife, during her life, making provision that his only son, Joseph, and his eldest daughter, Mary Buck, should each receive a double portion, and that whoever of his children or children's chil- dren should receive his 300 acres west of the Connecticut river and his 200 acres in " pipe Stave Swamp," " they shall not at any time be sold out of the blood, but in case any of my children or their children see cause to Sell any part it shall be only from one to another of them, that so these two parcells of land may pertain to some of my children or children's children to the end of the world." The son- in-law of John Kirby, Emanuel Buck, was appointed one of EIGHTH GENERATION, 269 the executors. [Manwaring's Hartford Probate Records, I : 211-215.] 339. The baptismal name of the wife of John Kirby was Eliz- abeth, and it is thought, with good reason, as stated in the Kirhy Genealogy, that her maiden name was ELIZABETH HIISTDS, a niece of Sarah Hinds Cheplin, wife of Clement Cheplin, of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk County, England, and an early settler in Wethersfield. The evidence of this is a letter written by Sarah Cheplin of Bury St. Edmunds, January 2, 1661, to " Cousin John Kirby," and sent by William Goodrich of the same place, in which the writer says, " Your wifes father is yet alive and in good health." Sarah Cheplin signs herself, " kinsman." If this was her name, she was doubtless born in Bury St. Edmunds, and ac- companied her aunt to IsTew England. She was married probably in 1643 or 1644, soon after John Kirby's arrival in Hartford. Elizabeth Kirby married, 2nd, October 27, 1681 ( ?), Abraham Randall (Eandolph) of Windsor, Conn. She is so named in several deeds of land in Middletown, being called in a deed dated October 25, 1680, "Elizabeth Randall now of Windsor," and the same in 1684 and 1688. In a deed of April 18, 1697, she is called " Elizabeth Randolph now of Wethersfield sometime wife to and Relict of John Kerby of Middletown." [Middletown Land Records, I: 26, 61, 77, 91, 133; II: 62.] Abraham Randall's first wife was Mary Ware, whom he married December 8, 1640. She died July 8, 1677. He died August 21, 1690, and his widow removed to Wethersfield to live, where her death occurred probably in March, 1704-5, as at that time Joseph Kirby was appointed administrator to settle his father's estate. 270 BOARDIVIAN ANCESTRY.

The clue to the English ancestry of John Kirby is found in the fact that he deeded to Richard Lord of Hartford, Sep- tember 3, 1654, property consisting of a house and land sit- uated within the bounds of Rowington, Warwickshire, Eng- EIGHTH GENERATION. 271 land. This town is near Kenilworth, and about five miles from the famous Warwick Castle. The inscription on the tombstone of Abraham Kirby of Middlebury, erected about 1796, after his death, also states that " his grandfather Joseph Kirbj came from Warwickshire, England," The name Kirby is said to have had a Danish origin, being originally Kirkby and derived from " Kirke " meaning " church," and " bye " a " dwelling." The family of Kirkby is known in the history of Warwickshire, and " the baptism of Michael Kirby, son of Humphrey, Sept. 22, 1622, found in one of the recovered sheets of the lost register of St. Mary's Church in Warwick, shows there were Kirbys living in the vicinity in the early part of the seventeenth century." The daughter of Sir John Kirkby, Matilda, was the wife of William Beauchamp, first Earl of Warwick. The unusual provision in the will of John Kirby of Middletown undoubt- edly indicated some pride of ancestry and belief in English customs by which real estate was retained in the family from generation to generation. The Kirhy Genealogy, which gives the above facts, has the following paragraph : " The first Baron Kirkby was Ivo Taillebois who came with the Conqueror. He died without male issue and the barony passed to his brother Gerard's family. In 1272, John Kirkby was made Keeper of the Great Seal and soon afterward Bishop of Ely. In 1322 an- other John Kirkby (also written Kirby) was created Bishop of Carlisle. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries there were several families of Kirkbys and Kirbys living in vari- ous parts of England, as is shown by the Visitations of Essex, Leicestershire, Yorkshire, etc., which have recently been published by the Harleian Society from the original 272 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. manuscripts kept in the British Museum. The Kirby names usually found in these Visitations are Richard, Roger, Wil- liam, and John — all Norman names." It seems from a letter printed in the above authority that Joseph Kirby of Middletown, the son of John, made an at- tempt through an attorney in Warwick, Thomas Bannister, to recover certain estates in Rowington. This was in 1Y08, and from this correspondence it appears that the mother of John Kirby was a Margaret White. 343, RICHARD TREAT. See No. 234. 346. JOHN KIRBY. See No. 238. 348. JOHN RUSSELL, born in England in 1595, came to this country and settled in Cambridge, Mass., as early as October 5, 1635, and was made a freeman there, March 3, 1636.* He was Surveyor-of-arms in 1638, Selectman, 1642 and 1643, " Clerk of the Writs " (Town Clerk) in 1645, and Constable in 1648.

They lived on the homestead * Authorities on tlie Russell family are as follows : Judd's History of Eadley, p. 559; Goodwin's Oenealogical Notes, p. 190; Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, pp. 590, 591; Stiles's History of Wethersfield, II: 593ff.

In April, 1659, when, in consequence of religious difficulties, a considerable portion of the towns- people emigrated to Hadley, Mass., Mr. Russell joined the party, and his son. Rev. John, was installed as their pastor. Mr. Russell died at Hadley, May 8, 1680, aged 85 years. His widow, Dorothy, died at Hadley in 1694. EISTGLISH Aiq"CESTRY OF JOHN RUSSELL. The claim is made that this family was connected with the English family of the same name in the line of the House of Bedford. It rests on family tradition, the identity of the arms extant in one branch of the family, excepting the crest, with those of the Earl of Bedford, and a supposed relation- ship between the coming of this family to !N'ew England and the fact that Catharine Russell, daughter of the fourth Earl of Bedford, was the wife of Robert Greville, second Lord Brooke, who was associated with Colonel Eenwick in the founding of Saybrook. If this fact should be established by documentary evidence, the ancestry of the Russell family could be traced back many centuries. [Stiles's History of Wethersfield, U: 593.] 350. STEPHEN TERRY, son of John Terry and Mary White, and born August 25, 1608, in Stockton, Wiltshire, England, came to New England in 1630, in the " Mary and John," and settled at Dorchester, Mass., where he was ad- mitted a freeman May 18, 1631. His name occurs in a list of the first twenty-four freemen of that town. He removed 85 274 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. to Windsor, Conn., and became one of its early settlers, his first house being on the east side of the " common road," or Main street. He was several times elected a member of the Grand Jury, and frequently was chosen to serve on local commit- tees. His name appears in the list of " troopers under Cap- tain John Mason," March 11, 1G57-8, the first Connecticut cavalry. In 1659 Stephen Terry became one of the founders of Hadley, Mass., and was elected the first Constable there. Later, he was chosen one of the Selectmen. He had married in Dorchester, his first wife, whose maiden name is unknown. She died in Windsor in June, 1647. He died in Hadley, Sept., 1668, leaving a widow, Elizabeth, who survived him about fifteen years. Childeen op Stephen Teeey. I. Mary, b. Dec. 31, 1635; m. Dec. 8, 1659, Dea. Rich- ard Goodman, who d.

He was the son of Stephen Terry who died in 1606. The wife of Rev. John Terry was Mary, born about 1570, daughter of John White, Gent., of Stanton, St. John, Oxfordshire, EIGHTH GENERATION. 275 England, who died in 1618. She was a sister of Rev. John White, rector of Dorchester, and perhaps a granddaughter of Robert White. She died a widow in 1637, and her will is extant dated Oct. 6, 1637. In " The English Founders of The Terry Family/' by H. K. Terry, it is claimed that Stephen Terry was the son of John Terry, " a citizen and goldsmith " of London, who was buried May 23, 1637. See Terry's Notes of Terry Families. 253. THOMAS GRAVES, born in England about 1585, came to Kew England with his wife and five children before 1645, at which time he appears in Hartford, Conn., owning a homestead there.* He was relieved from military duty because of his age, December 1, 1645, as is shown from the following extract of that date from the Colonial records: — " Thos : Graues is freed fro trayneing, watching and ward- mg." In Hartford, Thomas Graves had several tracts of land, one of them being that " whereon his house standeth." He was not, however, active in town affairs, and the names of his sons only are mentioned. Isaac was in Hartford and John and Nathaniel in Wethersfield. In 1661, although then about seventy-six years old, Thomas Graves removed to Hatfield, Mass., with his sons, Isaac and John, where he died in November of the year fol- lowing. His widow, Sarah, died in Hadley, December 17, 1666. See Graves's Genealogy of the Graves Family. 276 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. Childeen of Thomas and Sarah Geaves. I. Isaac, b. in Eng. about 1620; m.

JOHlSr WILCOX was one of the original settlers at Hartford, Connecticut.* This family is said to have been of Saxon origin and to have come from Bury St. Edmunds, England. His home lot of thirteen acres in 1640 was located on what is now West Bushnell Park. In his will he calls himself a " payle maker." He filled several minor offices in the town and was Townsman in 1650. John Wilcox died in 1651, on the 1st of October. The inventory of his estate amounted to £391 3s. Od. In his will he makes provision for his wife, giving her his " ould howse to dwell in " during the time of her life, for his son John and daughters Ann Hall and Sarah Bidwell. To the latter he makes the following bequest. " I give to my daugh- ter Sarah Biddell my mare and two working stears, Allso a carte & a plowe with a Share and Coulter & a plowe eare, provided that my wife may have the mare for her owne use to ride either to Windsor, to Wethersfield, or to Hartford, or to the Sermon, for the space of two years, and to this end I give my wife my pannell and Bridle. Allso it is my will that my sonn Willcock shall provide Stover for the wintering of the two Stears and the mare given to Sarah Biddell." To each of John Biddell's children he bequeathed a share of forty pounds.

[Manwaring's Hartford Prolate Records, I: 164.] 387. The Christian name of the wife of John "Wilcox was MARY, but her family name is unknown. She is believed to have come with him and three children from England. At the time of her husband's death she was probably in advanced life. She was unable " on account of weakness " to occupy the old house in 1667 and the court ordered the son John Wilcox " to pay to his mother £6 a year " instead. She died in 1668, her inventory being taken January 1, 1668-9 and amounting to £40 Os. 4d. In her will dated October 4, 1666, she mentions her daughter Ann Hall, a cousin Sarah Long, and bequeaths most of her estate to her son-in-law, John Bidwell, with whom she probably spent her last days.

It is thought that he came to New England from Braintree, Essex County, Eng- land. He was made a freeman at Cambridge, May 14, 1634. Within a few years he removed to Hartford, Conn., perhaps coming with Mr. Hooker and his company at its settlement in 1636. He received sixteen acres of land in the first division of Hartford, in 1639. His house lot was " on the corner where the road from George Steele's to the South Meadow intersected the road from the Mill to the Country." [Memorial History of Hartford County, I: 233; Bigelow Genealogy, p. 18.] Deacon Butler was a man of influence in the town's affairs, holding the office of Townsman or Selectman in 1649, 1654, and 1658; and he was one of "a committee for ye milne" in 1660. From 1656 to 1660, he was a Deputy from Hartford to the General Court, and he was often a Juror between 1643 and 1662. He was a Deacon of the First Church in Hartford for many years and until his death. The name of Richard Butler's first wife is unknown, but he married 2nd, according to Hinman, Elizabeth Bigelow about 1642. He died August 6, 1684, leaving an estate of £564 15s.

JOHJST BUEWELL was the original emigrant of this family, and an early settler at Milford.* He came from Eng- land and it is said that he was born at Sutton, Suffolk County, October 5, 1602, being the son of Thomas Burwell of Sutton. The church records of Milford in recording his admission to the church July 4, 1641, have the entry " John Burwell of Hertfordshire, hus"^ to Alice," with the record of his death following August 47, 1649. It is possible that he was born in Sutton, but came to New England from some to-\vn in Hertfordshire, where he had resided. His home lot in Milford consisted of two acres and twenty poles and was located between that of George Clark, Jun., and that of Henry Botsford. He also had one acre in " Westfield Creek Shott," 6 acres in " Poconock Point Shott," and 7 acres in " Westfield the Fence Shott." Probably some of the lands that are recorded later to John Burwell were those of his son. [Milford Land Kecords, I: 79, 82, 87-89, 92, 98.] John Burwell died as above stated in Milford in 1649. * On the family of John Burwell see, — Hinman's Puritan Settlers of Connecticut, pp. 438, 439.

After the death of her husband she married in 1650, Joseph Peck of !N^ew Haven and Milford. Her son Lieutenant Samuel Burwell of Milford received land later " by way of division to Joseph Peck his father-in-law." [Milford Land Records, I: 133.] She is said to have had several children by this marriage, one of whom was Joseph Peck, born in 1653, who married Mary, the daughter of Nicholas Camp, 2nd.

WILLIAM BUNNELL was one of the early settlers of the New Haven Colony, though little more is known of him. His daughter, Mary, was born in New Haven, May 4, 1650, and bis son, Ebenezer, August 28, 1653. Benjamin was doubtless older and probably by some years. His other children are said to have been Nathaniel and Lydia. The latter married Erancis Erench of Derby, who died February 14, 1696-7, and she died April 7, 1708. William Bunnell died before 1669. 317. The wife of William Bunnell was ANN WILMOT, daughter of Benjamin Wilmot (No. 634). She is named in the will of her father as " Ann, wife of William Bunnell," she being dead at the time, August 7, 1669, and having four children living. NINTH GENERATION. 285 318. PETER MALLORY was an early settler in New Haven. The name was an ancient and honorable one in England. It has been said that " the Mallory family were early at Papworth, in Cambridgeshire. Peter Mallory, second son of Anthony, was of Shelton, County Bedford, before 1600." We know of no proof of the connection of Peter Mallory of 'New Haven with the families of that name in England. He took the oath of fidelity in New Haven, August 5, 1644. He seems then to have been a single man and to have married in 1648. The name of his wife is unknown.

JOHN LOTHROP or LATHROP, the emigrant ancestor of this family, is too well known in the early history of New England to need an extended sketch of his remarkable career.* He was bom in Elton, East Riding, * Authorities on the Lothrop family are as follows : Sprague's Annals, I: 49-51; Goodwin's Pilgrim Republic, pp. 439-441; Baylies's 'New Plymouth, I: 299, 300; Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, III: 119- 122; Davis's Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth, p. 175; Hall Memoranda, pp. 35-46; Boston Tramcript, Sept. 30, 1903. 286 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. Yorkshire, England, and baptized there December 20, 1584. He was the son of Thomas Lothrop of Cherry Burton who had twenty-two children, and grandson of John Lowthorpe of Lowthorpe, Yorkshire, England. In 1601 John Lothrop entered Queens College, Cam- bridge, and there spent eight years, receiving his degree as A.B. in 1605 and A.M. in 1609. After his graduation from the University, he was a clergyman of the Established Church, and was settled for some time over the parish of Edgerton, Kent. While there his views changed and he was shortly afterwards invited to succeed Rev. Henry Jacob as pastor of the Separatist church at Southwark, London. This was about 1625. In 1632 he and many of his flock were apprehended by Archbishop Laud and imprisoned. After nearly two years of such confinement, during which his wife died, he was released on his promise to go into exile. He embarked for Boston in 1634, in the ship " Griffin," having as a fellow passenger the celebrated Anne Hutchinson, and on his arrival settled at Scituate with many of his flock who had accom- panied him. He removed to Barnstable with a part of his church in 1639, and there ministered until his death N^ovem- ber 8, 1653. Tlie following tribute is paid to Rev. John Lothrop in Morton's New England Memorial: "He was a man of a humble and broken heart and spirit, lively in dispensation of the word of God ; studious of peace, furnished with Godly contentment, willing to spend and to be spent for the cause of the Church of Christ." In his will, dated August 10, 1653, he makes provision for his wife and mentions his chil- dren, Thomas, Benjamin, John, Jane, and Barbara. Beside NINTH GENERATION. 287 these he had Samuel and Joseph, both born in England. Among the early divines of ISTew England none had led a more devoted life or had suffered greater hardships for his religion. 341. John Lothrop was twice married. His first wife is said to have been HA]^1TAH HOWSE, of Eastwell, Kent County, England, their marriage license having been issued in Canterbury, October 10, 1610. She died in England about 1633. She was the mother of the eight older children. He probably married his second wife in Scituate, and by her had other children. Her first name was Ann, and she died in Barnstable, February 25, 1688.

He settled in Salem, Mass., and died in 1657. The daughter married Samuel Lothrop. A correspondent of the New Yorh Evening Mail, February 25, 1905, says the wife of Thomas Scudder was Elizabeth Lowers of Daruth, Kent Co., England, and gives the following chil- dren: John; Thomas; Henry, married Catherine Este; Elizabeth, born in 1622 ; married, 1st, Henry Bartholomew, and second, ^N^ovember 28, 1644, Samuel Lothrop; William; and Martha. 368. JACOB WATERHOUSE was the emigrant ancestor of this family.* The following statement has been made concerning his ancestry: "Jacob, born 1618, appears to have been a son of Abraham, born 1586 ; a son of John Water- house, of N"ewhouse; son of John of Newhouse, died July 1545 ; son of John of l^ewhouse, the eldest son of Richard, died January 2, 1539, (who) married Agnes, daughter of John Coley-Hale, buried October 30, 1542, in Halifax Church, where a monument of brass, erected to her memory, remains."

NINTH GENERATION. 289 If this is true, Jacob Waterhouse was of a good English family in Yorkshire. He first appears in New England at Wethersfield and may have come from Watertown or some other Massachusetts town to that place. In 1639 he had a house lot in Wethers- field of two and one-half acres, located on Sandy Lane, extending north to Fort, now Prison street. He is said to have been a soldier in the Pequot War in 1637, and it is possible that he was one of the twenty-six men who went from Wethersfield in the expedition against the Indians at that time. Jacob Waterhouse removed to ISTew London in 1645, and became one of the founders of that town. There he was chosen " overseer of the wears " in 1649. He had a home-lot of six acres which he received the same year. He is probably the person referred to in the will of Peter Collins of ISTew London, in 1655, who was to have his land " in ye Neck." As he was released from military duty in 1665, he was then probably an old man and he died in 1676. His will was offered for probate in September of that year. 369.

He settled in Saybrook and was a large land owner there, inheriting most of his father's landed estate in 1673. He was a freeman there in 1669 and the only John Clark of Saybrook at that date, his father being named as in Milford. In 1673 he repre- sented the town of Saybrook in a case before the General Court and probably would have attained other honors had he lived. He died in Saybrook, September 21, 1677, " being killed by a cart overturned upon him." 371.

He was Townsman in 1662, Deputy from Ipswich to the General Court in 1668, 1669- 1671, 1673, 1675, 1676-1681 (except 1678), Assistant or Magistrate, 1682-1686, and a member of the first council under the charter of William and Mary in 1692. He was a Justice of the Quarterly and General Sessions Courts, etc. During the progress of King Philip's War in 1675, he was commissioned Captain of a company of 100 men to proceed to the frontier towns on the Connecticut Eiver; and on October 4, of the above year, he was appointed Com- mander-in-Chief of the forces operating in that section of Massachusetts. By his " industry, skill and courage," says Hubbard, the narrator of the Indian wars, " those towns were preserved from running the same fate with the rest, wholly, or in part, so lately turned into ashes." On October 19, an attack was made upon Hatfield by seven or eight hundred Indians, who were repulsed after a sharp contest. Major Appleton's sergeant fell mortally wounded by his side, and the brave commander himself narrowly escaped death. In December, with five hundred men under his See Appleton Memorial, 1850, and Appleton Gen., 1873.

A full account of his services in King Philip's War may be found in Bodge's " Soldiers in King Philip's War," pp. 142 to 164. During the rule of Sir Edmund Andros, Mr. Appleton was especially a mark of persecution because of his persistent refusal to submit to the arbitrary use of power exercised by the Governor-General. In September, 1687, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and in October he was brought before the Governor and his Council. Kefusing to give the required bond, he was ordered, November 30, to be imprisoned in the Boston Jail, where he was confined until March 7, 1688. Of Major Appleton, Mr. Felt, in his " History of Ips- wich," says : — " He was Representative to the General Court, Member of the Governor's Council and Judge. In 1675 he was ordered to keep 500 men for the defense of the frontier towns at the west against the Indians, etc Hi< diversified and complicated duties as warrior, legislator and judge, he ably and faithfully discharged." 379. The first wife of Samuel Appleton was HANNAH PAINE, daughter of William Paine of Ipswich, Mass. (No. 758), whom he married in Ipswich, April 2, 1651.

EDWARD COLLINS, son of John and Abigail (Rose) Collins of London, and later of Brampton, England, removed to New England prior to 1636, settled in Cambridge, Mass., and was early a large landholder there. He was made a freeman May 13, 1640. On October 7, 1641, he was ap- pointed " Clerk of the Writs," with power " to grant sum- mons and attachments in Civil Actions." He was Represen- tative or Deputy to the General Court, 1654-1670. He was chosen a deacon of his church before April, 1649, as appears from the following extract from the Cambridge Town Rec- ords : " In lieu of his small farm within the town bounds, with some addition in respect of his place in the Deacon's office, it was agreed that he should have 500 acres." Mr. Collins " held many offices of public trust, and was active in both private and public affairs." [Collins Genealogy, 1897.] He died in Charlestown, Mass., where he had spent the later years of his life, April 9, 1689, at the age of 86 years. His widow, MARTHA (No. 381), survived him. Mr. Paige thinks it probable that she is the person named in the man- uscript journal of the Rev. John Pike : " Mch. 22, 1699- 1700, Grandmother Collins departed this life, being very aged, and many years shaken with the palsy, yet retained her understanding wonderfully well."

John Collins, the father of the emigrant. Deacon Edward Collins, resided in London and in Brampton, Suffolk County, England, and died and was buried in the latter place. He married Abigail Rose, daughter of Thomas Rose, who was of Exmouth, Devonshire. She was buried in Braintree, Essex County. John Collins had a family of five children. [See Collins Genealogy, Quincy, 111., 1897.] 383. WILLIAM WHITING, the Hartford settler, was in- terested in New England as early as 1633, when, in conjunc- tion with the Lords Say and Brooke and George Wyllys, he purchased an interest in Piscataqua lands. He was one of the original proprietors of Hartford, Conn., and in 1639 owned a homestead on the east side of the highway now known as Governor street. On March 20, 1639, the town granted Mr. Whiting and others " liberty to sett vpe a Mill vpon the litle River." [Hartford Town Votes.] He was chosen one of the committee to convene with the As- 296 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. sistants for the first time in 1637, was Treasurer of the Colony from 1641 to 1647, and a Magistrate, 1642-1647. With Major John Mason and others, he was appointed, in 1642, to erect fortifications, and to collect tribute of the Indians on Long Island and the Main. William Whiting was actively interested in trade and commerce and established trading houses on the Delaware River and at Westfield. " He seems," says Scaeva,* quoting Dr. Trumbull, " to have been relied on by the General Court for the transaction of all business requiring the investment of large capital or the exercise of financial skill. In conjunc- tion with his friend and partner, Gov. Hopkins, he was entrusted with a monopoly of the exportation of corn and grain raised in the Colony; and in 1647, the Court granted him the exclusion of prosecuting the whale fishery for seven years ; a design which he did not live to carry into execution." Major Whiting's will was dated July 24, 1647, and it is believed he died soon after. The inventory of his estate was £2854; and he was one of the wealthiest men in the Colony. A widow, Susanna, survived him, and married in 1650, Samuel Fitch, of Hartford, who died in 1659. She married 3rd, Alexander Bryan, of Milford, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Collins, in Middletown, Coim., July 8, 1673. Cpiildren of William and Susanna Whiting. I.

NATHANIEL FOOTE, of Wethersfield, Conn., who was bom in England in 1593, came from Watertown, Mass., in 1635, or perhaps late in the year previous, as one of the original settlers. The first mention of him is found in the records of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, when, in 1633, he took the oath of freeman. He had a homestead in Water- town, which is described in the town records as " an hom- stall of sixteen acres by estimation, bounded y® north & north- west w*** y" highway, the south and south-west w*** Jeremiah Norcross, granted to him." He had brought with him to Watertown his wife and several children. He was one of the first ten men who settled in Wethersfield, the so-called " Adventurers," and held the largest share in the " adventure- lands " (i. e., title not derived from the town). His earliest homestead in Wethersfield, which he recorded in 1640, was on the east side of Broad street, at the extreme south end, and contained ten acres. Mr. Foote was a conspicuous landowner in the town, possessing the largest 38 298 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. acreage, especially of the lands lying in that portion of the township west of the " Great River." His land amounted to more than 400 acres. He was chosen a Deputy or Representative to the General Court in 1641, and in January, 1643, and was active in the affairs of the town in its earliest history. He died in 1644, aged about 51 years. The inventory of his estate was taken ITovember 20, 1644, and included two hundred and thirty-one acres of land. " Nathaniel Foote," says Goodwin in his Genealogy of the Foote Family, " belongs not to that class of men who fill a large place in the world's history because called by some great emergency into positions of power and influence; but to that more meritorious class of pious and excellent persons, who, born to the great inheritance of labor, walk meekly along the paths of common life, perform every duty, public or private, love and help their fellow-men, and act always as if in the Great Task-Master's eye." 433. The wife of Nathaniel Foote was ELIZABETH DEMING, a daughter of John Deming and sister of John Doming of Wethersfield, whom he married in England about 1615. She came with him to New England, and outlived her husband, marrying 2nd, about 1646, Thomas Welles, then Magistrate, but afterwards Governor of the Colony. Governor Welles died January 14, 1659-60, and his widow died July 28, 1683, about 88 years of age. She is said to have been a " woman of character." OiiiLDEEN OF Nathaniel and Elizabeth Foote. I.

BENJAMIN WILMOT of New Haven, Conn., was one of the early settlers of that Colony. It is believed that his son Benjamin came from England first and was the " Benjamin Willmott " who signed the original compact of 1639, and that his father came from England to New Haven later. Among those who took the oath of fidelity May 2, 1647, was " Old Willmot." This was doubtless the father. He was " aged about fourscore " when he made his will, dated August Y, 1669, in which he names his three children, Benjamin, Ann, the wife of William Bunnell, and William. Three children of Benjamin then deceased represented him and four children of the daughter also deceased represented her. Benjamin Wilmot the elder died August 18, 1669. His wife, ANN, died October 7, 1668. His son William, born in England, married October 14, 1658, Sarah the daughter of John Thomas of New Haven, and died in 1689, aged 57. He left a daughter and two sons, Benjamin and William. [New Haven County Court Eecords, I: 185.] 740. JOHN CLARK of Hartford, Saybrook, and Milford, Connecticut, was the emigrant ancestor of a large family of descendants. He is believed to have come to New Eng- land from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England, in the " Eliza- beth " in April, 1634^ and to have been one of the earliest 304 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY, settlers at Hartford. He was an original proprietor there, his home lot in 1639, being on the west side of what is now Trumbull street. Then and later he owned various tracts of land. He served as a soldier in the Pequot War and after- wards was one of the owners of land in the " Soldiers Field " given as bounty for that service. In 1641 and 1642 he was a juror in Hartford. The earliest reference to him as of Saybrook is under date September 9, 1647, when, as we are informed in the Colonial Records, " Capten Mason & Jo: Clark are desiered to carry on the building of the Fort, by hireing men or Cartts or other necessary es," and " they are alowed to make vse of the last Rate to be paid by Seabrook." John Clark was frequently a Deputy to the General Court, representing Saybrook from 1651 to 1664. In the Charter of King Charles II. in 1662 he is named as one of the patentees. He was called to other important services and it has been truly said of him, he was " a man of note in the Colony." The last years of his life were spent in Milf ord, removing thither it is thought about 1665. He was Deputy from that town to the General Court in 1666 and 1667. He died in 1673. The following record is made of him in the Church Records at Milford: " 1673 June 4— Mr. John Clark and Serg* Daniel Buckingham ordained Ruling elders. Mr. Clark died Feb^. 5 in year folP." His will, dated February 17, 1672, at the beginning and January 19, 1673, at the end, the latter being perhaps the date of its execution is recorded at New Haven and is in print. [Kew Haven Probate Records, I : Pt. 2, p. 50 ; Chapman's Pratt Genealogy, pp. 340-342.] In it he calls himself "John Clark of Milford," mentions his son " John Clark of Say-Brook," TENTH GENERATION. 305 and children Elizabeth and Sarah. The inventory of his estate in Milford amounted to £207 2s. 6d. and in Saybrook to £227 8s. He then owned lands in both places and be- queathed those in Saybrook to his son. His wife also is provided for and her daughter Abigail Fletcher is named. 741. The name of the first wife of John Clark was doubtless " Coley," for in his will he makes a bequest to his " brother Samuel Croly," who was of Milford. This relationship may have afforded a reason for his subsequent removal thither. She was the mother of his children and is presumed to have died at Saybrook about 1664. He married, 2nd, Mary, the daughter of widow Joyce Ward, and widow of John Fletcher of Milford, who died April 18, 1662. [Connecticut Colonial Records, I: 451-453.] After the death of John Clark, his widow removed to Farmington, where she died January 22, 1678. Her will, dated November 28, 1677, names her chil- dren by her first husband among whom her property was divided. Her estate was valued at £273 5s. 6d. of which property to the value of £32 16s. was in Farmington, and the balance in Milford. [Manwaring's Hartford Probate Records, I: 288.] Children of John Clark.

J0H:N' POKTER of Windsor, Connecticut, is the emigrant ancestor of this line.* It is said that " he came to 'New England with his wife and nine children from Felsted, County Essex, England, probably in the ship ' Swan and Ellen,' 17 July 1638," and in company with his brother-in-law Joseph Loomis. He appears at Windsor in 1639, being present at the General Court August 8th as a member of the town committee. In 1640 he is a juror and in 1646 and 1647 Deputy to the General Court. He was a man of some property, as well as ability and character. His home lot was on the " Island " extending east and west of the road, and included part of the " Ply- mouth Meadow." His house was east of the road. John Porter died the 21st and was buried the 22nd of April, 1648. In his will dated April 20, 1648, he names sons John, James, Samuel and ISTathaniel, daughters Rebec- ca, Rose, Mary and Anna (Hannah) and a son-in-law Joseph Judgson. Two older daughters Anna and Sarah had received their portions at their marriage, and the portion of Rose, who died the following month, was subsequently divided among them. His inventory amounted to £470 17s. [Man- waring's Hartford Prohate Records, 1 : 29, 30 ; Connecticut Colonial Records, 1 : 475-477.] 743. John Porter married in Messing, Essex County, England, his marriage being there recorded as follows: "1620, Oct. * Stiles's History of Windsor, II: G20, G21; ti. E.

John Porter of Felsted & Anna White of Messing." She was the mother of his older children at least and probably his only wife, whose death is recorded in 1647 as " John Porter, Sen'rs wife." AKN'A WHITE was the daughter of Robert White of Messing, a village about ten miles from Becking in Essex. Her baptism is recorded in the Messing Parish Register, July 13, 1600. The mother of Anna AVhite was Bridget Allgar, daughter of William Allgar of Shalford, Essex County, England. Robert Wliite died in 1617 and it has been said that " he cannot have been an old man at the time of his death, for he had at least five children unmarried, and apparently only one of them over twenty-one." His daughter Elizabeth married William Goodwin, and his daugh- ter Mary married Joseph Loomis, both of them coming to ^ew England, and well-known in its history. Anna is mentioned in her father's will in the following clause : " I give and bequeath unto my daughter Anna White the summe of one hundredth markes of like lawfull mony: to be paid unto hir upon ye day of hir marriage; yf soe be she shall bestow hir selfe in marriage, accordinge to the likings and consent of my two fornamed sonnes in law, and my wife, as is aforesaid. But yf soe fall out, as that she my said daughter Anna shall marrye w^^'out the consent and ap- probation formerly mentioned, then I give and bequeath hir only the summe of thirtey pounds of like lawfull monie." There is no doubt that the necessary approval was given and that three years later the bequest constituted her marriage portion.

The Porter Genealogy has the following interesting paragraph concerning the family : " The record in England gives his descent in the sixteenth generation from William de la Grande, a Norman Knight, who came in the army of the Norman duke at the conquest A. D. 1066, and that he acquired lands at or near Kenilworth, in Warwickshire. His son Ralph (or Roger) became " Grand Porteur " to Henry first A. D. 1120 to 1140, from which he derived the name Porter." 753. HENRY WOLCOTT, son of John Wolcott of Tolland, England, and descended from an ancient family of position and wealth, was baptized December 6, 1578, in the Parish of Lydiard St. Laurence.* He removed to New England, * Authorities on the Wolcott Family are The Wolcott Memorial and Stiles's History of Windsor. TENTH GENERATION. 309 with his wife and several children, in March, 1630. He was one of the first twenty-four freemen of Dorchester, Mass., and received grants of land there as early as April, 1633, and probably before; and was Selectman in 1634. He was one of those most interested in the Connecticut settlement, and removed to Windsor in 1636, as one of the original pro- prietors. In the year following he took an active part in the earliest legislative proceedings of the new Colony; was elected a Magistrate in 1643, and continued to hold this office until his death, May 30, 1655. Mr. Stiles, the historian of Windsor, says of him: — " He was probably, after the pastor, the most distinguished man in Windsor." In speaking of the life and public services of Henry Wolcott, Mr. Hollister, in his History of Connecticut, says : — " In the Y8th year of his age, but with a judgment unclouded, and his usefulness unimpaired, the venerable Henry Wolcott, one of the principal magistrates and advisers of the colony, quickly followed his comrade (Haynes) to the grave. I cannot help making a brief mention of him, and yet were T to speak at any considerable length of all the bright examples of patriotism and exalted worth that have borne the name of Wolcott in Connecticut, I should find this work extending itself beyond the limits that I have marked out for it." " Henry Wolcott, Esquire, the ancestor of all the Wolcotts of this State, was of a very ancient family, and the owner of a large estate in Somersetshire. He was born in Tolland, on the 6th of December, 1578, and was the son and heir of John Wolcott of Galdon Manor. The manor-house is still stand- ing, and is of very great antiquity and extent. It was orig- inally a splendid mansion, designed as well for the purposes of defense against the excesses of a lawless age, as for a per- 310 BOARDMAN ANCESTRY. mancnt family residence. It is still richly ornamented with carved work, and if left to itself unassailed by the hand of violence, it will stand for ages. The familiar motto of the family arms, borrowed from the Roman poet, is still to be seen upon the walls of the manor-house, its bold words inform- ing us that the family who have adopted it as their text of life were " accustomed to swear in the words of no master." It is alike in keeping with the independent spirit of an English gentleman of the middle ages, and with that of a Puritan of the 17th century who spurned the dictation of ecclesiastical dominion." " In his early life Henry Wolcott lived after the manner of the landed gentry, at an era when the term " country squire " was synonymous with whatever was bold, athletic, and hardy in the steeplechasing, hospitable days of " merry England." But as years stole on, and the principles of the Reformation, making little progress at first, began to invade not only the wrestling-ring of the yeoman and the counting- room of the merchant, but the hall of the country-gentleman, Wolcott, among others, was led to direct his thoughts to more serious topics than the pastimes that had engrossed his earlier manhood. While meditations respecting a future state of being occupied his mind, a religious teacher, Mr. Edward Elton became his guide, and led him to that clear under- standing of the doctrines of Christianity, and those firm convictions of its truth, that remained with him to the day of his death. Of an ardent temperament and lively sensibilities, and seeing that much needed to be reformed in the severities practiced upon so many of the best subjects of the realm, he soon became identified with the Puritan party, sold a large estate in lands, including the manor- TENTH GENERATION. 311 house, for which he received about eight thousand pounds sterling, probably much less than its value, and made prepar- ations to spend the remainder of his days in America. In 1628 he visited ISTew England to examine the country, and returned. His sympathetic nature could not fail to attach itself inseparably to the self-accusing, though charitable, Wareham, and he sailed with him for the new world in the same ship, and arrived in Massachusetts in May, 1630. Roger Ludlow was of the same party. Wolcott remained in Dor- chester until 1636, when he removed to Windsor upon the Connecticut river. He was, as most of our best inhab- itants w^ere, a planter, and was the principal one in Windsor. He was a member of the General Court of Connecticut in 1639." " In 1643 he was chosen into the magistracy, and contin- ued to be one of its most safe and immovable pillars till his death in 1655. His monument of imperishable sandstone, built by the same hands that fashioned the one that stands over the Fenwick tomb at Saybrook, has always been a shrine to tempt towards it the feet of his numerous descendants, who have piously guarded it and lovingly adorned it for two hundred years. Time has spared, and the gray moss has not obliterated, the quaint and simple epitaph, whose plain let- tering tells us that it is the resting place of " Henry Wolcott, some time a magistrate of this jurisdiction." 753. Henry Wolcott married, January 19, 1606, ELIZ- ABETH SAUNDERS, daughter of Thomas Saunders of Lydiard St. Laurence, who was baptized in that parish December 2, 1584.

He was made a freeman September 3, 1634, and was chosen a Deputy or Representative in 1635. He became much interested in the Connecticut settlement, and disposed of all his estate in Dorchester, with the inten- tion of removing to Windsor, Conn., with the Rev. Mr. War- ham and his party. He died, however, before the departure of this company, in December, 1635, or January, 1636. [Stiles's History of Windsor.'] He had been in Windsor a short time before, preparing for removal, and his lands were recorded to his children in 1640. His widow, Jane, and children, made the journey to the new settlement, and she became the second wife of Rev. John Warham (perhaps before the migration to Windsor), and died in ISTorwalk, Conn., April 23, 1645. 756. SAMUEL APPLETOX, son of Thomas and Mary (Isaac) Appleton, was born in Little Waldingfield, Suffolk TENTH GENERATION. 315 County, England, in 1586, and baptized August 13, of that year. About 1628 he removed to Key don, and from thence, in 1635, emigrated with his family to 'New England. Samuel Appleton settled in Ipswich, Mass., and was ad- mitted a freeman, May 25, 1636. He was chosen a Deputy from his town to the General Court in 1637, and was a mem- ber of the Grand Jury in 1641. He died in June, 1670, in Kowley, Mass., where he is said to have lived for some years prior to his death. 757. The first wife of Samuel Appleton was JUDITH EVERARD, whom he married in Preston, England, Jan- uary 24, 1616, She was the mother of his children, and is supposed to have died before his emigration to ISTew Eng- land.

WILLIAM PAINE, son of William, was born in or near ISTowton, Suffolk County, England, about 1598.* His father was for many years " lord of the manor " of that Parish, and he was a descendant of Sir Thomas Paine, Knight, who lived in Leicester in 1400. William Paine, with his wife, Anna, and five children, left London in April, 1635, for 'New England, sailing in the ship " Increase." He landed at Boston, Mass., and set out at once for Watertown, where we find his name recorded as early as July 25, 1636. Within a few years he removed to Ipswich, and was admitted a freeman, May 13, 1640. He resided there about fifteen years, and then removed to Boston, where he died, October 10, 1660. Mr. Paine was one of the leading men of his time in New England. He was on terms of intimate acquaintance with the Winthrops, and other distinguished men both in his own Colony and Connecticut. A man of wide experience, and excellent judgment, he was frequently selected to serve on important committees, and to settle disputes concerning boundary lines between several towns in Massachusetts. He was an active merchant, and one of the earliest of the colonists to recognize the importance of home manufactures. While at Watertown, he had acquired a controlling interest in Gov- ernor Dudley's Mill on the Charles Biver. This he operated * The facts contained in this sketch of William Paine, are chiefly from the Paine Genealogy, by H. D. Paine, N. Y., 1880, and the Paine Family Records, Vol. II: Nos. 2 and 3. 318 BOAKDMAN ANCESTRY. as a " fulling mill " until his death. In 1641, the town of Ipswich granted him permission to build a wharf for his warehouse. He assisted in establishing the iron works at Lynn, Beverly, and Newbury, and gave them his financial support. He also operated the lead mines at Sturbridge. He was deeply interested in extending the settlements of the English in Western Massachusetts, and was a member of a company incorporated in 1645 for this purpose, and known as the " Free Adventurers." Mr. Paine, after his removal to Boston, continued a prosperous mercantile business, posses- sing extensive headquarters there and at Piscataqua. Both William Paine, and his brother, Eobert, were men of public spirit. While at Ipswich, they aided in establish- ing the free school there, and in their wills, made pecuniary provisions for its support, as well as gifts of land. In all his business ventures, William Paine seems to have been successful. He acquired a fortune for the times in which he lived, and died leaving an estate of more than £4,200.
