Is it not well to erect a Monument of some kind to the memory of Peter Shumway, ist, a French Huguenot, who left his home and country on account of reUgious persecution, about the year 1695, came to Boston, Mass., in the same vessel with Peter Faneuil, (Faneuil Hall) and the Sigourneys; married there an English Lady, Miss Smith, and settled with a colony of his own people at Oxford. The place, or farm, where he lived and died is known, and the place or very near the spot in the old Church- yard where he was buried. Portions of a fort they built for protection from Indians are still standing. The names of his sons were Oliver, Jeremiah, David, John, Jacob, Samuel and Amos. All the Shumways in America are unquestionably descend- ants of the said Peter. It is the earnest desire of my father, Peter Shumway, now at the age of 94 years, grandson of Jeremiah and son of Peter, that I invite your attention to this matter, and ask your interest and co-operation. Have not the persecutions of the French Protestants in years past an important bearing upon the present condition of that people ? A very interesting sketch of the Huguenots in France and America may be found in Harper's Magazine for November, 1870. The writer will be pleased to receive any items of special interest with reference to the family. Please to circulate this 8 Genealogy of the Shumway Family note to persons of the same name and if you wish for more I will send them to you. An answer at your earliest convenience will oblige, Yours, Very truly, F. Peter Shumway. Leominster, Mass., May i, 1871." To this circular, and his enthusiasm for a memorial in some form to our ancestors is due the credit of an influence which set in motion the work of compiling this Genealogy. The col- lection of statistics and facts was prosecuted, at first, with no intention of publication; but as the mass of material increased, it seemed desirable to give it a permanent form, and also to share its interest with those bearing the name who might care for it. It is fitting that grateful acknowledgement should be made to the hundreds of correspondents who have aided so greatly in bringing together the statistics and history. Without their help, this measure of success would have been impossible. Many have sent in, voluntarily, supplementary reports of births, mar- riages and deaths, during the years required for preparation of the book, so that their records are complete to date. I wish, further, to acknowledge the assistance I have had from D. B. Hixon in preparing the manuscript for the printer. Doubtless, some errors will appear. No Genealogy was ever published, probably, without them. Members of the same family have disagreed as to dates of births, &c. in the lists furnished. I have accepted official records as final authority in such cases, if I had them. Besides personal letters, the sources of information have been the official State, Town and Church records, the "old family Bibles", tombstone inscriptions, newspaper clippings, town his- tories, etc. The memories of some of the octogenarians of the family have also been a prolific source of interesting historical facts which they could recall and narrate. I have had transcripts made of all items relating to Shumways in the various Town Records of Oxford, Belchertown, Boxford, Topsfield, Boston, Worcester, Sturbridge, Webster, Dudley, Charlton, Rowe, (Mass.) ; Thompson, N. Grosvenordale, (Conn.) ; and Monk- ton, (Vt). Genealogy of the Shumway Family 9 The plan of the work is to run out the Hne of posterity through the oldest child in each successive family until it ends — either with the present generation, or a married daughter where the name Shumway is lost; then completing the record of the latest family, and working back to the original starting point. The descendants of married daughters are not given beyond the first family of children in each case (those whose mother was a Shumway), and such names are not numbered. While it would have been interesting to have traced these further, it would have increased the size and cost of the book beyond a reasonable limit. In the lists of children, the sign + prefixed to a name signifies that a personal notice may be found further on, the page of which may be ascertained by reference to the Index. The direct ancestors of such names as appear in capitals are in the parenthesis following the name. A persistent effort has been made to obtain the military records of the Shumways in the Revolutionary and earlier Wars, also the Mexican, Civil and Spanish Wars. Transcripts were made from the voluminous early records in Boston, and consider- able information obtained of interest to the present generation. Personal histories have also been solicited from correspondents, to which requests many have responded. It is a matter of regret that much information of this nature which would have enriched the book further, was not obtainable. This historical matter is related, necessarily, in a brief, concise manner, to economize space, as the publication of any Genealogy is an expensive under- taking. No one realizes the deficiencies of the book more than myself; yet, I trust it will not prove disappointing to the numer- ous members of the family, particularly those in the West who have expressed such enthusiastic interest in its preparation. I hope it may also kindle a more fervent regard for the sterling elements of character of our worthy ancestors in the children of the present generation. AsAHEL Adams Shumway. Atlantic City, N. J., September, 1909. 10 Genealogy of the Shumway Family CHAPTER I. ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY. The traditions, which have come down from one generation to another, all declare that the SHUMWAY family was of French origin. They declare further, that the progenitor of the family in this country was not only a Frenchman, but a Hugue- not. As it would be exceedingly gratifying to trace the family to so noble a source, no effort has been spared in the work of investigation that, if possible, these traditions might be confirmed as historical facts. Abiel Holmes, D.D., in his description of visits to Oxford, Mass., in 1819 and 1825, in search of information concerning the Huguenot colony which settled that town, uses the following language (Mass. Hist. Coll. H, 80) : *'We next went in search of the Johnson place, memorable for the Indian massacre in 1696. Mr. Peter Shumway, a very aged man of French descent, who lives about thirty rods distant from it, showed us the spot. The last year I called at Mr. Shumway's (1825), he told me that he was in his ninety-first year; that his great-grandfather was from France." The family name is held, by many, to be a corruption of the French "Chamois" (pronounced Shamwah). Mr. George F. Daniels, in his interesting little book, "The Huguenots in the Nipmuck Country", incorporates the following letter from Mr. Charles W. Baird: "My Dear Sir: In view of the tradition regarding the French extraction of the Shumway family, I can only ofifer the conjecture that the name may have undergone a transformation similar to that which has befallen many Huguenot names in England and America. If French, the name "Chamois" offers a probable solution. The transition from this to "Shumway" would be very easy. A Protestant family bearing this name is mentioned in a list of fugitives from the neighborhood of St. Maixent (in the old province of Poitou, in the present department of Genealogy of the Shumway Family 11 Deux-Sevres), France, at the period of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. A number of Huguenots found their way to New England at an earHer day; and a Chamois, the founder of the Shumway family, may have been one of these. Very Truly Yours, Charles W. Baird. George F. Daniels, Esq/' The following from the town records of Topsfield, Mass., is of interest in this connection, both for its early date, and its mention of Peter Shumway: 'May y*^ 20 1685. I Thomas Hunter Atuereney to my mother Prizzalah Trow alies Hunter doe hereby a quite and dis- charge y^ Selectmen of Topsfield in y^ behalfe of y^ Towne of Topsfield of all y*^ moveball Estate yt was Luke Waklens in Topsfield ; for they have given me a full and true an a Count of all yt was delivered to Pet Chomway by y^ Selectmen and delivered it to mee and what was in other men hands- thay have given mee an a Count of whereby I doe discharge y^ Selectmen in y^ behalfe of y^ Towne and Peter Chomway from any part of this Estate before menened in as full ampley a maner as my Mother Trow aliss Hunter Could a done and if she was here prsant her selfe, wharby I doe by this prsant a quite discharge and release y^ Selectmen and Peter Chomway from all and Everey parte & parcell of yt Estate above menened as witnes my hand y^ day & yeare above wrighten, Thomas Hunter This was seigned & delivered in y^ presents of us William Smith Senr and Joseph Smith" The letter "C" beginning the name as given in this docu- ment might be considered a slight confirmation of the theory already stated. Some have also attempted to trace the name "Germain" (Zhermah) through "Jermer" to Shumway. There have been no records discovered by the compiler of this work, showing the name in any form by which this theory could be substantiated. The fact of the French origin of the Shumways may be considered as fairly well substantiated ; historically, their descent from the Huguenots, rests thus far, upon tradition only. 12 Genealogy of the Shumway Family 1 Peter Shumway, b.

PETER SHUMWAY, the first of the family in this country, probably came to America some time between 1660 and 1675. He was born in 1635, as we learn from his will, reproduced further on, and would doubtless not leave his home until past his majority; the records show his name on the roll of the colonial soldiers of Massachusetts as early as 1675. It is well known that this was a period of active migration among the Huguenots ; and as a matter of interest to us, in view of the tradition previously alluded to, it may be profitable to note, briefly, the influences which promoted French emigration during those years. The restiveness under Papal aggressions and abuses, which in Germany found expression under the leadership of Martin Luther, was largely shaped and directed in France by John Calvin. For many years there had been collisions, and even civil war between the Papal powers and their adherents on the one hand, and the French Protestants (called "Huguenots") on the other. The policy of the Huguenots was to popularize religion. The Bible was translated from the original Greek and Hebrew into the French language; its distribution and study among the nobles and peasants, by the learned and the illiterate were encour- aged ; the Psalms were arranged in metre and set to tunes, some of which, it is said "are sung to this day," and this influence operated powerfully "for the decline of Popery, and the propaga- tion of the Gospel in France." Henry, Prince of Navarre, who afterward became Henry IV. of France, was friendly to the Huguenots ; and after his accession to the throne in 1589. although, yielding to the neces- sity of the times he became a Catholic, he still retained his Genealogy of the Shumway Family 13 friendly feeling toward the Protestants. In 1598 he issued the famous "Edict of Nantes", which conferred certain privileges upon them, and guaranteed a degree of religious liberty through- out the kingdom. The edict was declared to be "perpetual and irrevocable." It gave to the Protestants liberty of conscience, and the free exercise of their religion; free access to all places of dignity and honor ; liberal sums of money for the payment of their troops; and certain funds for the future maintenance of their preachers, and their garrisons. In this last provision was laid the foundation for future conflicts between the two hostile parties. Possibly also, this continued maintenance of an armed soldiery was the means of inspiring martial zeal in our ancestor ; for he is introduced to us as a soldier in his first authentic appearance in the records. The events of this history become interesting to us, therefore, as they show the circumstances which possibly influenced his early life. The provisions of the Edict were enforced by Henry dur- ing his reign; but under the succeeding kings, Louis XIII., and Louis XIV., the Papists began to assert their opposition more efifectually. One after another, the privileges conferred by the Edict were denied, and new forms of persecution began to appear, the aim of which was to drive the Protestants back into the Romish Church, and to intimidate others from joining them. Enactments were passed, prescribing heavy penalties upon all who should become Protestants, also rewarding such as would recant that faith. The Protestants were excluded from all the learned professions; skilled mechanics were forbidden by law to receive them as apprentices. In 1666, they were prohibited from taxing themselves for the support of their ministers; and in 1680 it was declared unlawful to build a Protestant house of worship in the vicinity of a Romish church. These and other acts were the steps which led to a culmination in the repeal of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. From 1661 to 1674 (a period of special interest to us) armed collisions, and actual wars between the contending powers were frequent. The reigning king (Louis XIV.), was bitterly determined to destroy the Huguenots; hence it is not strange that multitudes of them gave up all hope of any future for themselves, or their faith in France, and began to look elsewhere for a refuge. 14 Genealogy of the Shumway Family We find them, during this period especially, leaving France in large numbers, and seeking homes in other lands, but notably in America. It has been estimated that the number of those who left their country during the few years immediately preceding the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, was at least five hundred thousand. Colonies went to Switzerland, England, Germany, Holland; while in this country, settlements by the Huguenots were made in Florida, South Carolina, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia, and in Massachusetts. An early trace of authentic history in the life of Peter Shum- way L, appears in a petition by his son, Peter Shumway, of Ox- ford, Mass. (Mass. Arch. XLVI. 212), and which we present herewith : "To the Honorable Spencer Phips, Esq., Lieut. Governor, and Commander in Chief in and over His Majestie's Province of the Massachusetts Bay, in New England : The Honorable Council and House of Representatives in General Court assembled: The Memorial of Peter Shumway of Oxford, most humbly showeth that whereas your humble memorialist" did many years ago prefer a petition to the Honorable General Court of this Province praying that as he is the legal heir and representative of Peter Shumway of Topsfield who was a long time in the service of this Country and particularly in the Narragansett war and taking of the Indian fort there which he in said petition proved by living testimonies and which he believes the Honorable John Chandler and others worthy members of this Honorable Court do yet remember. And whereas your aged, decrepid and poor memorialist hath never yet received any gratuity, or reward in land or otherwise for his said father's services and sufferings as many others have done, your most humble memorialist again most humbly prayeth this Honorable Court in their wonted goodness and compassion would make him a grant of some piece of Country land for said services, or otherwise as in their great wisdom they (see) fit: which will oblige your most humble memorialist — as in duty bound will ever pray. (Signed) Peter Shumway. March 23, 1749-50." Genealogy of the Shumway Family 15 The capture of the Indian Fort in Rhode Island alluded to in the foregoing petition was an achievement which, for bravery, heroism, and all soldierly qualities, has been seldom equalled in the annals of warfare. Had it occurred a century later, it would have occupied a more prominent place in recorded New England history; but as only one of the events of those primitive and stirring times when the inhabitants were few, and scarcely realized the importance of the history they were making, it has been obscured to some extent. The petition was probably sug- gested by a proclamation made to the soldiers at the time by the Massachusetts Council, that, "if they played the man, took the fort, and Drove the Enemy out of the Narragansett country, which was their stronghold, they should have a gratuity in land, besides their wages." The part which our ancestor had in this, and other similar service has caused him to be styled "Peter the Soldier." This title is also a convenient one by which to distinguish him from those of his immediate posterity who bore the same Christian name, which, it seems was a favorite all along the line. As this engagement at Fort Narragansett is the earliest event in the life of Peter the Soldier, of which we have an authentic account, the story may properly be inserted here as introducing him to us, with almost the abruptness with which Elijah the Tishbite appears in the pages of Holy Writ. King Philip was probably the greatest military genius of the Indian race. He saw the gradual encroachment upon the territory of the Indian by the white man, and that unless some- thing was done to check this, the Indian was doomed. He con- • ceived the idea of allying all the New England tribes in one decisive campaign against the white settlers. The younger war- riors insisted upon aggressive movements before the more cau- tious Philip was ready; and he was finally compelled to yield, and "King Philip's war" was inaugurated. Swansea, Mass. (about 25 miles S. E. of Plymouth), was the first town sacked and burned in July, 1675. Brookfield, and other settlements followed in rapid succession. The Indians then went into winter quarters within the territory of Rhode Island, near what is now the site of Kingston. Here they had built a large stockade, or fort, on an upland in the midst of a swamp, and known in the 16 Genealogy of the Shumway Family histories as Fort Narragansett. It covered five or six acres, and was built of strong palisades, driven into the earth, and piled inside with trees and brush crowded together, making a barri- cade of fifteen or twenty feet in thickness. Within this enclosure were about five hundred wigwams, whither they had sent their wives and children on the commencement of hostilities, and where their winter supply of corn, acorns, &c. was stored. Here, about three thousand strong, they waited for spring, and mean- time prepared for a renewal of the fight. The settlers determined to attack the Indians in their strong- hold, and by one decisive blow, annihilate the enemy, and deliver the settlements. If the advantage gained by this heroic achieve- ment had been properly followed up, the result would have been, doubtless, what was planned. It made heavy demands upon the courage and endurance of these men, to undertake such a cam- paign in midwinter; but the volunteers were at once forthcoming in prompt and patriotic response to the call. The Massachusetts colony furnished 527 men; Plymouth 159; Connecticut 315; besides these, 150 friendly Mohegans (Mohicans), led by the two sons of Uncas, joined the force. Josiah Winslow, governor of Plymouth colony, was elected commander. The six com- panies from Massachusetts were mustered on Dedham plain December 9th (?), 1675. The weather was bitterly cold, and snow had already fallen. The next day, the column started, and were joined on the march, by the Plymouth and Rhode Island men, and pursued their course through the snow toward the stronghold of the enemy. About five o'clock in the afternoon, they reached the place intended for a general rendezvous, and where it was proposed to encamp for the night. It was discovered, however, that the buildings had been burned, and there was no shelter for officers or men; so they were compelled to continue the march through the snow. Amid these difficulties, they proceeded until one o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, without fire to warm them, or even food, excepting what they could eat while they marched. The cold was so intense that hands and feet w^ere frozen, in many instances. Suddenly, about one o'clock in the afternoon of December 19th (?), they emerged from the woods and found themselves Genealogy of the Shumway Family 17 upon the edge of the swamp, and within sight of the enemy. There was no time for a plan, or consultation as to where and how to assault. The stockade was surrounded by a deep ditch, bridged by a single log, which was the only means of access to it, and which spot was fully exposed to the enemy's fire. The van of the little army was composed of Massachusetts men ; and the front ranks, discovering a few Indians outside the fort, at once opened fire upon them, which gave the alarm. As they rushed down to cross the log, a cruel fire cut them off, one after another, but they never flinched. They closed up the gaps in the line, — crossing the log so promptly, that soon the Indians were unable to reload fast enough, and a large number of the settlers gained the upland. There was likewise, only one entrance to the stockade, and on which side was unknown to the besiegers. As one quaint account describes this juncture of the fight: — "wherefore the "good Providence of Almighty God is the more to be acknowl- "edged, who, as He led Israel by the pillar of fire and cloud of "His presence a right way through the wilderness, so did He "now direct our forces upon that side of the fort where they "might enter, though not without the utmost danger and "hazard." The whites, on gaining the inside of the enclosure, at once set fire to the wigwams, and routed the disorganized Indians, who fled into the forest, leaving wives, children and everything behind. The fight lasted for nearly three hours ; about one thousand Indians were slain; eighty of the whites, including six captains, were killed, and one hundred and fifty wounded. Some of the latter perished in returning over the long distance, before a place could be reached where they could be cared for. Such was the event that introduces to us "Peter the Soldier," among these eleven hundred "heroes unsung;" and his right to the title does not rest upon this one event. Evidently he was called upon for frequent service during the early troubles with the Indians ; for his son Peter, in the memorial previously given, alludes to hijpi as having been "a long time in the service of his country." He may be regarded, therefore, as one of the earliest of the "Minute-men," to whose heroism the present civilization owes so much. His "louing naighbower and frinde," Captain 18 Genealogy of the Shumway Family John Peabody, was commander of a company, to which he may have belonged, though no record to that effect has been discovered. The military life of those times was intermittent ; and in the intervals of such service, our ancestor was engaged in tilling the soil. He seems to have owned no land, but probably operated a farm under lease from Capt. Peabody. His earliest known residence was in Topsfield, Mass., after- wards in the adjoining settlement of Boxford^ though he and his goodwife Frances continued to attend the Topsfield church. They are not recorded among its members, but their children were baptized there, perhaps under the plan of "owning y^ covenant," or the so-called "half-way covenant." The following action of the town of Topsfield appears in its records: "At the Town Meeting 7 March 1681-2, The Town "dos a gree that any body that dos ring hogs shall have three "pence pr. hoge hee finding rings that dos ring their hoges and "is ordered by y^ Town to do y* work Voted "Peter Shumway and James Waters are chosen to ring "hoges for this year. Voted." The will of Peter Shumway I. is dated April 10, 1695 : The appraisal of his estate, June 10, 1695. His death, therefore, occurred between these dates. The will is a quaint old document, and is here given, verbatim. Will of Peter Shumway I.

It sailed from Boston in September, 1710. Its object was the conquest of Newfoundland (then in the hands of the French), for the sake of colonial acquisition, and also the protec- tion and security of the New England fishermen. In six days the fleet anchored before the fortress of Port Royal. The gar- rison was weak, and so short of supplies that famine would soon have compelled a surrender. Terms of capitulation were easily arranged, and the defend- ers of the fortress, 156 in number, marched out with the honors of war — to beg food as alms. From that day to this, the English flag has floated over the town. 5 Dorcas Shumway- (Peter^), b. Oct. 16, 1683; m. (ist) to Valentine Butler Nov. 26, 171 1 ; 3 26 Genealogy of the Shumway Family m.

June 6, 1678; d. in 1751 ( ?) ; m. Maria Smith of Boxford, Mass., Feb. 11, 1700-1 ; she was b. Dec, 18, 1677, d. Jan. 17, 1738, in Oxford; children: + 7 OHver, b. May 10, 1701, + 8 Jeremiah, b. Mar. 21, 1703, + 9 David, b. Dec. 23, 1705, 10 Mary, b. May 9, 1708 ; m. to Caleb Barton Dec. 6, 1725 ; + 11 Samuel, b. Apr. 22, 171 1, +12 John, b. Aug. 10, 1713, +13 Jacob, b.

The posterity of each is grouped in a separate chapter under its appropriate head. Peter Shumway, the eldest son of The Soldier, removed from Topsfield, Mass., to Oxford about 1714. Oxford was a settlement in the heart of the so-called "Nipmuck Country." The details of the occupation of this locality by the white man con- stitute one of the most interesting chapters of colonial history ; and a brief resume of the principal facts may be appropriate here. Oliver Wendell Holmes calls it "the second colony of Pilgrim Fathers:" and several books have been devoted to a record of these early Western pioneers and their experiences, to some of which, we are indebted for our details. The boundaries of the "Nipmuck Country" were not very clearly defined, but it extended from the vicinity of the present Natick, westerly to the Connecticut River, and southerly, from the vicinity of Worcester twenty-five or thirty miles into the State of Connecticut. The Nipmuck Indians were more peace- Genealogy of the Shumway Family 29 fully inclined than the coast tribes, and more disposed to asso- ciate with the whites, as well as more open to civilized and religious teaching. The General Court of Massachusetts, desiring to meet their wants in these respects, passed an order in 1644 inaugurating measures looking toward their Christianization, thus becoming, as Palfrey says, "the first missionary society in the history of Protestant Christendom." In 1646, John Eliot began his labors as the "Apostle to the Indians," in what is now a part of New- ton. He established schools, founded churches, installed native pastors and teachers among many tribes, even reaching the far off Nipmucks. The first movement towards the settlement of Oxford was in 1683. On May i6th, of that year, the General Court of Massachusetts made the following grant of land for the new town: "This Court hauing information that some gentlemen in England are desirous to remoove themselues into this colony, & (if it may be) to setle themselues vnder the massachusets ; for the incouragement of such persons, & that they may haue some from among themselves, according to their motion, to assist and direct them in such a designe, this Court doth grant to Major Robert Thompson, Willjam Stoughton, and Joseph Dudley Esq., and such others as they shall associate to them, a tract of land, in any free place, conteyning eight miles square, for a touneship, they setling in the sajd place w'thin fower yeares, thirty familjes, & an able orthodox minister, and doe allow to the sajd touneship freedom from country rates for fower yeares from the time aboue Ijmitted." The tract comprised about sixty-five square miles, and in- cluded, besides the present Oxford, nearly the whole of Charlton, about one-quarter of Auburn, one-fifth of Dudley, and three or four square miles of the north-east portion of Sturbridge. The original proprietors were Robert Thompson, Daniel Cox, Will- iam Stoughton, John Blackwell, and Joseph Dudley. A portion of the land six and two-thirds miles long, and two and one-half miles wide was reserved to be given to the settlers for a "Village," or "General Plantation." 30 Genealogy of the Shumway Family The deed of division between the proprietors is an historical document of exceeding interest. It is now in the possession of the N. Y. Historical Society, and bears the date, July 3, 1688. One interesting point in it is the description of Mr. Dudley's division, where it gives one boundary as "a white oak stake, square, driven in the meadow, by the river which runs by and from the French houses." This is the only record known, re- garding the existence of the houses of the French settlers, in 1688, and confirms what tradition says of their location. Nearly three years elapsed after the original grant for New Oxford, before anything was done to colonize. In the spring of 1685, upon petition of the grantees, the time stipulated for making the settlement was extended three years; but before this time had expired, the problem was solved, and the requisite num- ber of settlers from a people of a strange country and language, and a most remarkable history was here. Important epochs in the history of this people have been already described. "As compared with the Puritans, they were as firm and well established in their religious opinions, as devout, less bigoted, and more cultivated and refined. They were intelligent in relig- ious matters, profound Bible students, and also excelled in music. As artisans in silks, glass, rich jewelry, and pottery, they have never been excelled; and to this day, the best workers in these materials in London are their descendants." (Daniels 64) Gabriel Bernon, a merchant of La Rochelle, who had fled to London after the Revocation, was there introduced to Mr. Robert Thompson by an eminent Frenchman then in that city. The result was an agreement on the part of Mr. Bernon to make the settlement on the Oxford grant of thirty French Protestant families. The history of the enterprise is difficult to trace; but it is said that, in the summer of 1686, a number of vessels having on board French refugees, arrived at Boston. Among these are believed to have been many of those who came to New Oxford. The colony was founded in 1686, though the required number of families did not occupy it at first. Houses were erected, also a church, mills for lumber and for grinding grain. A hint of approaching disaster to the colony is furnished by Genealogy of the Shumway Family 31 a petition about October 1694, and which was sent as a response to a tax assessment upon "The French Plantation." "To His Excellency Sir William Phipps, Kn't. Capt. Gen- eral and Governor in Chief of Their Majesties' Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, and to The Honorable Council" : The humble petition of Andrew Sigourney, Constable of the French Plantation, humbly sheweth unto Your Excellency and to Your Honors, that your petitioner received an order from Mr. James Taylor Treasurer for collecting eight pounds six shillings in our plantation for Poll money, now whereas the Indians have appeared several times this Summer, we were forced to garrison ourselves for three months together and several families fled, so that all our Summer harvest of hay and corn hath gone to ruin by the beasts and cattle which hath brought us so low that we have not enough to supply our own necessities many other families abandoning likewise, so that we have none left but Mr. Bondet our minister and the poorest of our plantation so that we are incapable of paying said Poll unless we dispose of what little we have and quit our plantations. Wherefore humbly entreat this Honorable Council to consider our miseries and incapacity of paying this poll, and as in duty bound we shall ever pray." The cause of the decline and final extinction of the settle- ment is suggested in the statement "the Indians have appeared." The disintegration began at the time of the disasters set forth in this appeal. Their farming operations were interfered with, and one after another abandoned the place. The hostile Indians are thought to have been some of the fugitives from the army of King Philip (Ammidown 136) ; others claim they were the local Nipmucks, inflamed and aroused by association with followers of Philip. Possibly a force, the evil influence of which is marked by similar results in our own time had somewhat to do with the disturbances; for there is an old paper in the archives of Massachusetts which bears the endorsed title, "Mr. Daniel Bondet's Representation referring to New Oxford July 6, 1691," and is a protest against the sale of rum to the Indians. He quotes one instance of crime directly charge- 32 Genealogy of the Shumway Family able to this source. The paper is signed "Daniel Bondet, Minister of the Gospel in a French Congregation at New Oxford." "The culminating blow to the little settlement was the John- son massacre, August 25, 1696, and this decided its fate. The house of Johnson stood apart from the others, and tradition says the attacking Indians stole upon the dwelling toward the close of the day and, entering it stealthily, seized three young children of the family, and killed them by crushing their heads against the stones of the fireplace. With the help of her brother, the mother, in her terror — her first thought going toward her absent husband — fled toward Woodstock, whither he had gone on business, hop- ing to meet him on his return. In parts of the way there were two paths, and in going and coming, the husband and wife passed each other, she going on to Woodstock, and he coming to his home — to be met and killed at his own door, by the murderers of his children." "Reduced and waning as the settlement was at this date, it is not surprising that such an attack should fill the people with dismay, and determine them to leave and seek a place of safety." "The story of their leaving is full of touching interest, and has been often repeated among the dwellers in Oxford in olden times. Tradition says that early in the morning of the day of their departure — each family having bade adieu to its plantation and home — they assembled at the church, where they had a sea- son of worship. They afterward repaired to the burying-ground to take leave of the graves of departed friends, and then, in a procession, moved onward over the rough forest road toward Boston." (Daniels 83-85.) A few are said to have returned, afterward, but it is uncertain when this was; they had all disappeared some years before the settlement by the English, in 1713. The movement for a re-settlement of Oxford by English families is set forth in the following preamble and deed from the original proprietors: "To all persons unto whom these presents shall come: Joseph Dudley of Roxbury, in the County of Suffolk, and Prov- ince of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, Esq; William Taylor of Dorchester in the same county, Esq. ; Peter Sargent of Genealogy of the Shumway Family 33 Boston, Esq., and Mehetable, his wife; John Nelson, of Boston, Esq., and EHzabeth, his wife; as they the said William Taylor, Peter Sargent, and John Dan forth, are the heirs and executors of the Hon. William Stoughton, late of Dorchester, deceased, send greeting:" "WHEREAS, The General Court of the colony of the Massachusetts Bay, in the year one thousand six hundred and eighty-two, granted to said Joseph Dudley, William Stoughton, and their associates, a certain tract of land in the Nipmuck coun- try, eight miles square, for a township, as may be seen more at large by the records of the General Court, pursuant whereunto, and for the uses aforesaid, the said Joseph Dudley, William Stoughton, and their associates, in the year one thousand six hundred and eighty-six, brought over thirty families of French Protestants into this country, and settled them upon the eastern part of the said tract of land, and reserved, granted, and set apart 11,250 acres for a village, called Oxford, for the said families, and bounded it as a plat upon record will more fully appear; but forasmuch as the said French families have, many years since, wholly left and deserted their settlements in said village, and the said lands, as well by their deserting the same, and refusing to return, upon public proclamation made for that end, as by the voluntary surrender of most of them, are now reinvested in and restored to and become the estate and at the disposition of the original proprietors, their heirs and successors, for the ends aforesaid:" "AND WHEREAS, There are sundry good families of her Majesty's subjects within this province who ofifer themselves to go out and resettle the said village, whereby they may be serviceable to the province, and the end and design of the original grant aforesaid be answered and attained:" "Now know ye, that the said Joseph Dudley, William Taylor &c. for and in consideration and to the uses and intents above mentioned "Have fully freely and absolutely, and by these presents do give, grant and confirm unto Samuel Hageburn &c. and others their associates, so as their number amount to thirty families, at least all that part of the said tract of land, &c. &c. herein above 34 Genealogy of the Shumway Family mentioned ; Provided always, that if any of the persons, grantees above named, or any of their associates, shall neglect to settle upon and improve said land, with themselves and families, by the space of two years next ensuing, — or being settled thereon, shall leave and desert the same, and not return to their respective habitations in the said town upon due notice given, — that then, in such case it shall and may be lawful to and for the rest of the grantees and their associates, heirs, or assigns, respectively, or the major part of them, to seize upon and take the said estate or estates of such person or persons so deserting.

Benjamin Freeman in the purchase of a farm in Sturbridge, where, later, he married the only daughter of Col. Freeman. They also conducted the only hotel and store in town at that time. His name appears as one of the petitioners to incorporate a new parish in the southeast part of Sturbridge and including parts of Dudley and Charl- ton, under the name of "The Second Religious Society in the Town of Charlton." When the church building was completed, the records show his name among the proprietors, and in the list of pew-owners is "Jeremiah Shumway, Pew 24, price $29.00." In the assessors' book of valuations for the year 1798, he is listed as the owner of 150 acres of land valued at $1,912. He was a man greatly beloved by his acquaintances, and his funeral was largely attended by people from adjoining towns.

One of his parishioners, Jeremiah Shumway, owned a fine animal which the clergyman desired to possess, and one Sunday morning Mr, Shumway drove up to the church door in fine style just as the minister was about dismounting from his own carriage, a few steps away. The preacher and his parishioner entered the church door together. The former tapped Mr. Shumway on the shoulder and drew him aside a moment. 'Jerry,' said the good man familiarly, 'when I get to preaching you slip out 220 Genealogy of the Shumway Family and take a few turns up and down the road with my mare, and after meeting is over^ tell me how you will trade.' And they traded on Monday morning."

Shumway" (Cyrus,^ Alfred,^ Asa,* David,^ Peter,- Peter^), b. Apr. 14, 1838, in Akron, Ohio; m. to Edward R, Black Mar. 21, 1855; he was b. Feb. 14, 1832, d. Nov. 21, 1903. He held a responsible position with the Pennsylvania R. R. Co., and became a participator in some of the stirring events in the nation's history early in 1861. Abraham Lincoln had received many invitations from the cities and State capitals between Springfield, 111., and Washington, to permit the people to honor him by receptions, meetings, &c., as he was en route to the nation's capital. He decided to accept eleven of these; so that the journey consumed about two weeks. During this fortnight, delegates from the States in insurrection were in ses- sion at Montgomery, Ala., organizing a government openly pledged to rebellion, and public feeling was at a high tension. Threats had been made in newspapers to seize Washington, to burn public buildings, and some uneasiness was felt for Mr. Lincoln's safety. While in Philadelphia on the night of Febru- ary 21, 1 86 1, he received several warnings that an attempt upon his life would be made before he reached Washington. A conference was held at the Continental Hotel, and it was decided that he should go to Harrisburg and fulfil his engagement for a reception by the Governor and Legislature there, and be guided by events. At a conference during dinner at Harris- bug, it was the opinion that he should proceed that night, secretly, to Washington via Philadelphia. Mr. Lincoln was the only one who disapproved. "What would the nation think," he said impressively, "of its President stealing into the capital like a thief in the night?" His friends were unanimous, how- ever, and Lincoln finally yielded to their plans. The special train left Harrisburg about six o'clock that night, and Edward R. Black was the engineer. He once related the story of the trip thus: "1 was told to make no stops, and when obliged to take water, to do so at the most secluded places I could; to keep a sharp lookout, and to arrive at 30th Street, West Philadelphia, by 10 o'clock, sure. Feeling the great responsi- bility upon me, you may be sure I looked after things mighty Genealogy of the Shumway Family 249 sharp. At lo P. M. we reached 30th Street, a closed cab was waiting, to which Mr. Lincoln walked, and was driven to Broad and Prime Streets, which was then the station of the P. W. &. B. R. R. The next morning, when the United States was at breakfast, the news had been flashed over the wires that President Lincoln was safe in Washington, while the nation thought he was in Harrisburg." The Presidential party at Harrisburg (including Col. Scott, President of the Penn. R, R.,) passed a sleepless night, but as day was breaking. Col. Scott received an unsigned dispatch reading, "Plums delivered nuts safely," which had been previously arranged, and their anxiety was relieved. Nicolay and Hay's "Life of Lincoln" adds : "Public opinion at the time, and for years afterwards, was puzzled by the event, and the utmost contrariety of com- ment, ranging from the highest praise to the severest detraction which caricature, ridicule, and denunciation could express, was long current. Newspapers vaguely explained that a plot existed to assassinate him on his way through Baltimore about mid- day of Saturday, which plot was prevented by the secret jour- ney on Friday night. This theory has neither been proved or disproved by the lapse of time. Mr. Lincoln did not enter- tain it in this form, or base his course upon it. Long after, he said : 'I did not then, nor do I now believe I should have been assassinated; but I thought it wise to run no risk where no risk was necessary.'

Sep. 17, 1823; he was the ancestor of the Medway, Mass., Shumways, coming to that place from Oxford about the year 1767; was a poor man, his entire capital on arrival amounting to less than one dollar; his trade was stone-wall building, at which he found abundant employment, perhaps for the reason that he was willing to work for twenty cents a day, when the current wages were twenty-five cents; he was skilful in "dressing" mill-stones ; also worked at farming for James Penniman, near E. Medway (now Millis), where he "met his fate" in the person of the eldest daughter, Olive; by rigid economy, he saved a snug sum of money in the Continental currency of the time, and contracted to buy a farm in N. Bellingham; but before the purchase money was paid, the Continental currency had so depreciated in value, that his little wealth practically vanished ; his father invited them to return to Oxford, and they did so, but remained only a year, as his wife became "homesick"; he then leased a farm in Bellingham (Partridge- town), and in three years had accumulated sufficient money to buy the place in West Medway which has since been known as the "Shumway Farm" in local nomenclature ; he was a man of affairs, one of the Town Assessors for eight terms, Select- man for five terms, and frequently acted as an administrator of estates, showing the public confidence in his sterling char- acter; his name appears on the muster-roll of Capt.
