INTRODUCTION.

When Dr.Ebenezer Alden, who prepared and published
the genealogy of the descendants of John Alden, -wrote
the introduction to his book, he made use of the follow
ing remarks as to genealogy :
" Genealogy is family history ; to some a chaos of iso
lated facts, very dry ; to others, facts revealing principles,
laws, methods of the divine government."
" Genealogy has its lessons for such as will study them ;
uses for such as can appreciate and interpret them. The
family precedes the state. Love of kindred underlies
true patriotism."
In the compiling of the genealogy and history of the
descendants of Thomas Durfee, the first emigrant known
by that name who came to America before 1664, I have
confined myself to such accepted and authentic statistics
as I have found in the Congressional Library and the
library of the War Department ; and it is hardly neces
sary to state how many volumes were searched in order
to gather the data for this record ; but I will say this, that
the information obtained required months of careful study
and searching volume after volume in the hours not em
ployed in official duties.
Through correspondence with living descendants of the
Durfees in the United States and Europe, I have been
greatly aided, especially through the kind assistance of
Walter C. Durfee, Esq., of Fall Eiver, Mass., who has
done more than anyone else in furnishing me with infor
mation for this genealogy, and more especially for the
branch descending from Benjamin Durfee, the fifth son of
the emigrant Thomas.
My aunt, Mrs. Mary A. Manchester, of Tiverton, E. I.,
has also been wonderfully patient with my perpetual
wanting to know this or that. 3

4 INTRODUCTION.
I hesitate to record the reason why I became so inter
ested in this work, for the reader might not see, after all,
any use in so much expended energy ; but at the bottom
of all, when I look into my own heart, I believe it was
prompted by a love for my dear departed mother, a rev
erence for all whose name she bore, as well as the duty I
felt encumbent on me to leave for my children, a record
of their ancestors. For, without this exhaustive search
aud study which I have made, I would have left to them
a very difficult problem to solve as to my (or their) gene
alogy. In my searching I have found that to all appear
ances many of the descendants of the Durfee family, for
want of record, bave lost their relationship in lineal de
scent from the first person by the name of Durfee, in
America, without the loss of the name.
The commandment of the Lord, " Honor thy father, and
thy mother," etc., has often been in my thoughts while I
have passed the time in collecting these records, and I
have often regretted that I could not find names written in
the records I have examined that would have brought into
this record many unknown descendants, all because of
the indifference of people who lived one hundred and
fifty years ago. It is difficult now to place a family with
out record, in a position to be socially benefited, through
the honorable record of their Revolutionary ancestors. I
have endeavored, as far as possible, to bring into this
record an account that will not fail as to the family rela
tionship of the Durfees that served in the Ci-vil War of
1861, so that when a hundred years shall have passed
away, the descendants of those who took part in saving
our Union of States will know that among the men who
preserved the best Government the world has ever known
were their ancestors ; because their names are given in
the genealogy with the history of the service rendered.
The record of descendants that served in the Union
army, and a few that assisted the Confederacy, will appear
for the most part in a succeeding volume.

THE ORIGIN OF THE DURFEE NAME.
In Two Parts.
By WINTHROP C. DURFEB,
OF
BOSTON, MASS.

PART FIRST.
The significance and origin of surnames has always
been a matter of great interest, and doubly so is the ori
gin of a name to those who bear it.
Names indicate locality, occupations, station in life,
nationality, and are often the only survivals of ancient
titles, or all that is left to indicate some obsolete custom.
In themselves, by their significance in some old forgotten
dialect, they illumine some obscure page of history.
The name Durfee is unique. Very ancient in its ori
gin it has to-day its only representatives in America.
Previous to the year 1628 it was unknown in England,
and ceased to be recorded in 1723.
A careful search of all available printed English records
fails to show the name of Durfee in any, with the excep
tion of those that refer to Thomas D'Urfey, or Durfee, the
English dramatist, who was born in 1653 and died in
1723. These English records are of three classes :
1st. The various polls of names connected with army
and navy from the earliest times, and with civil govern
ment positions ; lists of titled personages from highest
title to the minor gentry ; also various court records and
proceedings, especially wills and probate.
2d. Parish registers of births, marriages, and deaths.

Q ORIGIN OP THE DUKFEE NAME.
3d. Lists which have been made from the first two and
possibly other sources by historians and students of
names. A number of such lists have been printed from
the time of the Domesday Book down to the most recent
researches. Probably one of the most complete of these
books is a record of native English, Scotch, and Irish
names, combined with those derived from French and
German or other foreign surnames.
The English parish lists, including all of the parishes
of London and Canterbury, and about one hundred records
of other families have been searched.
If the name of Durfee did not appear in London and
Canterbury parish records for a period of 350 years, it is
safe to assume that the name is not general in Great Brit
ain. Aside from Thomas Durfee, the dramatist, 1653-
1723, already mentioned, the following are the only simili
tudes to the name of Durfee found in printed English
records available for inspection :
Parish of St. Martin's in the Fields: April 21, 1556,
Isod Urfu baptized. May 27,1554,Margeria Urfu buried.
August 25, 1555, Jaanes Peart and Agnete Urfue married.
September 9, 1556, Antomus Urfue buried. June 11,
1553, Luthretimus Dudley and Elizah Urfue married.
Record of York Wills : January 12,1558, Thomas Dursay
(also written Durfay). January 11, 1562, Robert Durssa
(or Dursay). May 10, 1605, James Dursey. October 1,
1593, John Dursey.
It will here be noted that the will of Thomas Dursay,
of 1558, is the only one where spellingis possibly Durfay,
and that the later wills are all Dursey, showing that the
f was really the long s, and the name is not Durfee, but
more probably our modern Dorsey.
On August 20, 1683, William Dorfe, mariner, was wit
ness to a marriage of Thomas Cliffe and Margariet Harvey,
of Deal, at Boston, Lincolnshire, England (see Canterbury
marriage licenses). As a search for this name of Durfee
has included a conscientious search for all words which
sound like Durfee, or of which Durfee might be a variant,
without any greater success, it is safe to assume that the
name is unique in itself, and the fact that at the time
Thomas Durfee, of Portsmouth, R. I., arrived in America,

ORIGIN OF THE DUKFEE NAME. 7
at the age of 17, there was residing in England a family
named Durfee, who also used the only variation of Durfee,
Durfey, which was used by this Thomas Durfee, would in
dicate that there was some close connection between the
two families.
Thomas D'Urfey, the dramatist, of England, born 1653,
and died 1723, spelled his name with the D', but Hugue
not writers, at about 1680-90, spelled it Durfee.
Sometime before 1628, the exact yeatnot being known,
a French refugee named d'Urfe, fled from Rochelle,
France, to England, bringing with him a son.
This son grew up and married Frances Marmion, of
Huntingdonshire, and Thomas D'Urfey was born of this
marriage in 1653.
In the year 1647 one Loerin d'Urfey was assisted at
Dover by the Huguenot Church to go on his way.
The record is to be found in the publications of the
London Huguenot Society.
Thomas Durfey, the English dramatist, was born in
1653, at Exeter, Eng., and it was from Exeter, Eng., and
its vicinity, that many of the first settlers of Rhode Island
came. Thomas Durfee, the ancestor of the Durfee family in
America, was born in 1643, just 10 years before the Eng
lish dramatist of the same name, and came to America in
1660, when his English namesake was but 7 years old.
The absolute identity of name, christian name, and
spelling of surname, together with the fact that young
Durfee, the emigrant, came directly to a colony where
Exeter people lived, that he was well received, and that
his children married into the Earle and Freeborn families,
shows that he was not entirely without credentials of some
sort. Between 1680 and 1690 Thomas Durfee, the English
dramatist, wrote a short satirical poem on New England
customs, indicating that the dramatist had visited New
England, and, not satisfied with conditions here, had re
turned to England. This poem may be found in Vol. IX
of the N. E. Genealogical Register, and is quite interest
ing reading.
If Thomas Durfee, the dramatist, visited New England,

8 ORIGIN OP THE DURFEE NAME.
it adds to the evidence of some relationship existing
between the two Thomas Durfees.
To what extent this evidence is decisive, or weighs,
each must decide for himself; but the fact remains that
in Exeter, England, in the family of a French refugee, is
the only record where we find the name of Durfee abso
lutely identical with our own.
We know that from 1660 to 1901 the name has been
spelled Durfee without variation, except occasionally
Durfey or Durffee (or Durphej'), but always in a way not
affecting the pronunciation, and there is no reason why
it should have changed more suddenly in England to an
unrecognizable form.
Two other facts give weight to the Huguenot origin of
the name :
1st. A Mrs. Lathrop, moving from Norwich, Conn., to
Providence, R. I., probably about 1830, told Walter C.
Durfee, now 85 years of age, then a young lad, that her
father's name was Durfey, and that they were of Huguenot
descent. It is probable that this Mi-s. Lathrop's father was
a direct descendant of Thomas Durfee, of Portsmouth, R. I.,
through (grand) sons who moved to Connecticut, and that
the tradition was understood in that branch of the family
moving into a colony more given to aristocratic ideas than
among those who remained in the Quaker surroundings of
Portsmouth, R. I.
2d. General de Lafayette visited the Hon. Thomas
Durfee at Fall River, Mass., and took a great interest in
him, sending him, after he returned to France, a gift of
two French greyhounds.
There appears a reason for this which is not entirely
explained by the well-known patriotism and personal
worth of the Hon. Thomas Durfee, in the fact that one of
Lafayette's aides, Rochefoucauld, was the bearer of the
French d'Urfe arms and titles.
This all leads to the origin of the d'Urfe name and
family in France.

ORIGIN OP THE DURFEE NAME. 9
PART SECOND.
The Origin of the (Durfee) D'Urfe Name in France.
Thomas D'Urfey, the English dramatist, claimed to be
nephew of Honor^ d'Urf^, a noted French poet, who
lived 1565-1625, and he is also stated to have been a
nephew of a minister of the Court of France. It is, how
ever, probable that he was a grandnephew, rather than
nephew, as we use the term.
The fact is interesting, however, as we have a fine bio
graphical record of Honor^ d'Urf^, which gives authori
tatively a history of the d'Urf6 family in France.
In part, the biographer is so lost in the glories of the
d'Urf^ family that much of his book is given up to his
tory and leaves little room for biography.
This biography takes much of its history from a book
called " Origin des Urfe," by M. Augusta J. Barnard,
custodian of the historical documents of France, and from
a d'Urfe genealogy, written about the year 1300, by Anne
d'Urfe, count of Forez.
The d'Urfe family goes back to a record of about 590,
A. D. Its founder was Henry, Duke of Bavaria, and its
name of d'Urfe originates in a tradition attached to his
family. The tradition is evidently " folk-lore," and that it has
become definitely attached to a certain family is evidence
of the ancient origin of the family itself.
The name d'Urfe, as will be seen later, is but the French
variation of Wlph, the early German form of Wolf and
Guelph, both famous families in Europe. Judith Wlph
married Louis I, of France (Ludwig I, of Germany), son of
Charlemagne. Charlotte M. Yonge's History of Germany gives the
Wlph tradition in connection with Ludwig I, who mar
ried Judith ; but perhaps a more interesting one to those
of the Durfee name will be found in a direct translation
from the biography of Honor^ d'Urfd, a book in the Bos
ton Public Library, as follows :
" If we can believe the legends collected by some his
torians, the house of d'Urfe would be not only one of the

10 ORIGIN OP THE DURPEE NAME.
most honored families of France; it would be also one of
the most ancient.
"Andre Duchesne tells us in his history of Burgundy
that towards the year 610, under the reign of the King
of Orleans, Theodoric, grandson of Sigebirt and Brunhaut,
a Wlphe, was patrician of Trans-Jurane, Burgundy.
"Now, this name of Wlph later became d'Urfe, under
going successive modifications, of which history kept the
record. About the middle of the 12th century, Wlph, the
Valiant, changed it to d'Ulphe, or d'Ulphen, or d'Ulpheur.
It was only at the end of the 16th century that Peter the
II wrote it with the spelling that has not since varied.
(Peter II died 1508, this should be end of 15th century.)
" The alterations which this name has undergone are
easily explained. They come principally from the un
certainty of Latin translations that have been made of
them in titles and charters. According to this same Du
chesne, the house of d'Urf^ takes its origin from the
Count Wlphe, whom the chroniclers of Low Countrie call
the Duke of Baviere, and whose daughter Judith became
the wife of Louis Debonnaire. It is from this Duke, or
Count, that Conrad, Count of Paris, and Bozon, King of
Burgoyne, descend.
" The d'Urf^s trace back their origin as far as this royal
family. They quote with pride a Wlph surname, ' the
Robust,' who added to the brilliancy of his nobility the
glory of having fought bravely against the Turks at the
siege of Antioch, 1098. As a reward for his brave action,
Wlph received for himself and for his posterity, from the
assembly of Christian Princes, the coat of arms blazoned
' de vair ' au chef Gules, which has since been that of
the house of d'Urfe.
********* "According to a charter in the ' Proofs of the History
of the Counts of Forez,' this family was already estab
lished at the end of the 11th century in the province, of
which it became one of the greatest glories.
" According to a genealogy written by the orders of Anne
d'Urfe and annotated by his hand, Hirmatride, wife of

ORIGIN OF THE DURFEE NAME. H
Isambert Wlphe, who lived at the end of the 8th century,
having given birth at once to twelve children, feared in
her ignorance that her husband would accuse her of in
fidelity. On this account, keeping one of them, she
ordered one of her servants to throw the others into the
river. Isambert, who was hunting, meeting the servant,
asked him what he was carrying and what he was doing
in that place. The latter, frightened, replied that he was
carrying a batch of wolf cubs which a wolf which he was
caring for at his house had just brought forth, and that
he wished to drown part of them. The servant having
showed him the eleven new-born babies, Isambert sus
pected the fear of his wife, of whose fidelity he was cer
tain. He had these eleven children brought up with care,
unknown to Hirmatride, and six years after he had them
all dressed alike and presented them to his wife, asking
her if she recognized these Wlphes, which signifies in
German, wolves. Hirmatride, at the sight of these chil
dren, threw herself at the knees of her husband asking
pardon. The latter hastened to praise her and told her
that she had been pardoned long ago.
******** " In the year 1127, Wlphe, surnamed the brave, accom
panied Louis the fat in the journey that the king made
into Auvergne to calm the troubles excited by the Count
of Cleremont. On returning from this expedition, Wlph
stopped at Montbrison (in Forez, near Lyons), where he
was so taken with the beauty and virtues of a cousin of
Guy I, Count of Forez, named Airnie, that he asked her
in marriage and obtained the consent of her parents.
" Wlph established himself in the country of his wife and
had a castle, which he called by his name, built on a high
hill, and to give to this name an appearance less German,
he curtailed the W and accented the last syllable. Wlph,
the Valiant, was thus the first Lord d'Ulphd.
" The patronymic name of Wlph appears to have been
Raimb6 or Reybi, which one often finds in charters with
some variations in spelling.
" The family of d'Urf^ was not long in obtaining in the
province where it was established all the consideration

12 ORIGIN OP THE DURPEE NAME.
that courage, virtue, and noble employment of authority
can give. But its glory increased principally when the
Count de Forez passed to the house of Borbon. Gurchard
d'Ulfhe became the friend and confident of Louis II,
Duke of Borbon and Count of Forez, who named him
Captain of Roannais, and then bailiff of all the country."
It would be too long a history to enumerate all the
honors that came to the house of d'Urfe until 1724, when
it parted of male issue. Its record was famous in the
history of France of the middle ages ; so much so that
in 1724, when the name failed of direct heirs, a younger
branch of the house of Rochefoucauld, decendants of
the d'Urfe on the female line, took up the arms and
name of d'Urfe as a great honor, and the last representa
tive of this line of Rochefoucauld was an aid to Lafayette
in our War of the Revolution.
Montbrison is in the south of France, north of Lyons,
and the chateau d'Urfe is now standing, or was quite re
cently. It is on a very high hill visible for several miles,
and two old towers of great massiveness are called Cornu
d'Urfe, or Horns of Urf^.
The Durfees were first Knights, holding lands and
owing fealty to the Count of Forez, later Counts of Forez,
and still later, by fortunate marriages, one became a mar
quis, and the title became a very complicated affair.
Honors and wealth and power of princely nature came to
them. The first d'Urfe won his spurs in the first crusade ;
another was Grand Master of the Knights Templars at
Malta ; another Envoy to Rome ; another commanded the
French in war against Italy. But to translate again and
quote from the French author :
" Nothing was lacking to the glory of the d'Urfe family.
The mysterious grandeur of its origin ; the brilliancy of
the alliances which it had made ; the immense wealth
which it possessed ; the favor which it enjoyed with the
kings, all seemed to unite to make it the first family of
Forez and one of the most noble houses of France. How
ever, Jacques d'Urf6 added still to its celebrity by his
marriage with Rene de Savoie, granddaughter of Anne
de Lasearis, whose father, Jean Autoine de Lasearis, was
the oldest son of Houoret de Lasearis arm Vintimille.

THE AUTHORHY FOR THE ABOVE COAT OF ARMS MAY BE FOUND
IN RIESTRUP'S ARMORIAL GENERAL, VOL. 2, 1887.
THE COAT OF ARMS HERE SHOWN IS THAT OF A MARQUIS d'uRFE,
1612, THE HELMET DESIGNATING BY ITS FACING FRONT THE
TITLE OF MARQUIS. THE SHIELD TO THE SAME IS THAT
GRANTED OVER 5OO YEARS EARLIER AT ANTIOCH IN THE
FIRST CRUSADE BY THE ASSEMBLED CHRISTIAN PRINCES TO
THE SON OF THE FOUNDER OF THE NAME AND FAMILY IN
FRANCE.
IT MAY THEREFORE PROPERLY BE DESIGNATED AS THE DURFEE
COAT OF ARMS, BEING THAT CARRIED BY THE HEAD OF THE
FAMILY FOR OVER SEVEN CENTURIES.

ORIGIN OF THE DURPEE NAME. 13
Thus the d'Urfes could boast of belonging to two imperial
houses ; to the house of Saxe G. Wlf h of Germany, and
to the house of Lasearis, which, derived from Constanti
nople, had just carried to the West the fortune and its
ancient splendor. (The de Lasearis coat of arms is now
the imperial coat of arms of Russia.) We have already
seen the d'Urf6 united in an alliance with a branch of the
Bourbon-Vandome. tIt ^ ^ -sp- y^ -^ 7^
" The revolution of 1789, which seems to have taken
upon itself the mission of effacing all traces of the past to
commence a new era, has hardly left anything remaining
which could recall the glory and opulence of .this cele
brated family."
The d'Urfe coat of arms, de vera au chef gules, is a
simple one, as all of the time of the first crusade were.
De ver^ is supposed to represent a squirrel skin ( Varus,
a squirrel), and in heraldry is drawn and represents
squirrel skins united, showing white and gray ; or, as
heraldry has it, argent et azure (white and blue). The
crest is a mailed hand rising out of a coronet, which may
be on a helmet ; the motto is probably " constancy."
The effect of the coat of arms is as follows :
The red band should be wider, shaded parts blue, un
shaded, in white.
The coat of arms of William d'Urfe, Grand Master of
the Knights Templars at Malta, was a Lion rampant de
vere, i. e., drawn as if silhouetted out of a de vere field on a
red background.
The coat of arms of Marquis d'Urfe was quartered
d'Urfe in petence on a quartering of 1 and 4. De La
searis and Vintimille 2 and 3. Savoy. The crest 9 ostrich
plumes — 5 black, 4 white.
This is a very handsome coat of arms when painted,
the de Lasearis being gold double-headed crowned eagles
on a red field.

BIOGRAPHY.
The first person by the name of Durfee in America, of
whom any record can be found, was Thomas Durfee, who
came to Portsmouth in the colony of Rhode Island pre
vious to the year 1664, and by traditional information
we are led to believe that he came in the year 1660.
The recorded evidence of his appearing at the session
of the Colonial General Assembly of Rhode Island, in
October 1664, carries unmistakable proof of his presence
in the Colony many months previous to that session.
The following, from page 121, Vol. 4, Historical Maga
zine of America, April, 1860, suggests the theory com
monly accepted by the descendants of Thomas Durfee as
to the manner in which he was transported to this coun
try: " In early times emigrants came over frequently as re-
demptioners ; that is, the ship took them without prepay
ment of passage, and on their arrival sold them by
auction, for the lowest term of years for which anyone
would take them, and pay the passage money."
He was admitted a freeman of the town of Portsmouth,
R. I., May 6, 1673.
Savage mentions in his genealogy of the early settlers
of New England that " Thomas Durfee was thirty-six
years old in the year 1679 ;" that he was taxed eight shil
lings in 1680. The oath of office as constable was taken by
him June 14, 1687, which office he was continued in dur
ing the following year (1688).
The following statements of the public services of Mr.
Durfee were obtained from the books of record in the
office of the town clerk of Portsmouth, R. I. April 14,
1677, he was chosen one of the petit jury. April 23, 1679,
at town meeting held at the house of John Briggs, the
following privilege was granted : " Voted, It is granted to
* * * Thomas Durfee -* * * (and five others) to
have each of them a license for one year to sell vituals

and drink to travelers, and to afford them Entertainment
as may be needful and convenient ; they first giving bond
according to law for the keeping of good order and do
also pay into the treasury ten shillings for each license."
Voted, " It is ordered that none of the five persons shall
be allowed to sell that sort of drink commonly called rum
at any higher price than after the rate of two pence the
giU." April 2, 1690, at the town meeting held at the house of
William Cory, Mr. Durfee was appointed constable.
April 4, 1691, at the town meeting held at the same
house, he was chosen one of the Overseers of the Poor.
December 29, 1691, at the town meeting held at the
same place he was chosen deputy.
April 4, 1692, and on April 20, 1694, he was chosen as
one of the town council, and on December 20 of the later
year was again made deputy.

February 11, 1688, " Thomas Durfee sold land (a ferry
lot) to William Wodell for 20 bushels of Indian corn."
His son Robert settled on land in Freetown, Mass., in
1686, on a portion of which the city of Fall River was
built. Thomas gave to his son Robert a deed of this land
in the year 1678, which was in the possession of Walter
C. Durfee, Esq., deceased, of Fall River, as a sacred relic.
On the 30th of January, 1689, he deeded to his son
Thomas, " for love, &c., my dwelling-house and land be
longing to it situate in a place called Common Fence near
Pocassett river, eight (8) acres in extent."
August 2, 1698, upon petition of himself and wife, De
liverance (late widow of Abiel Tripp, of Portsmouth) for
confirming a ferry between Rhode Island and Bristol
upon the heir of said Abiel Tripp ; it was enacted by the
Assembly "that the ferry be stated upon said Thomas
Durfee and his wife till the heir of said Abiel Tripp
come of age — which would be in seven years ; and that
John Borden be permitted to keep said ferry on equal
privileges with said Thomas Durfee, both being obliged
to carry all magistrates, deputies, jurymen and all other
persons in His Majesty's service in the Colony, and also
the post ferriage free, and to pay six (6) shillings each,
yearly, into the general treasury. All other persons be-

ing prohibited from usiag aud following this employment
without license from the Assembly."
After the period of the seven years above referred to, it
does not appear that Thomas Durfee was in any way con
nected with the ferry.
There is still in operation a ferry at the same place,
which is managed in about the same manner as in the
olden time.
Of the few remaining years of the life of Thomas Dur
fee there does not appear to be any incidental record.
That he was a man of resolute character — having the
respect and confidence of his fellow townsmen — is shown
by the public record of his business transactions. That
he was a good man, is proven by scriptual language, " a
good man leaveth an inheritance," the evidence of which
is found in his will, and in those imperishable traits of
character found in his posterity ; among whom there have
been the founders of industries and cities, the pioneers of
the unsettled frontiers of our country, the statesmen of
the Nation and State, the students of our leading univer
sities, those who have distinguished themselves as men
of learning upon the benches of the courts, from the low
est to the highest in the State, and before the bar as attor
neys of more than ordinary ability.
The scene of the days of his activity having been sub
ject to the devastations incident to the occupation of an
hostile army, there is no doubt but that much record rela
tive to Thomas Durfee must have been lost in the smoke
and flame of the Revolutionary struggle.
The following is a record of his family ; his first wife
and mother of his sons we have never been able to learn
anything about, and as this would be a great comfort to
know it will be ever missed by the many who will " call
her blessed :"

March 10, 1665 ; died in Freetown, Mass., May 10, 1718 ;
married in Portsmouth, R. I., in 1687, to Maey San-
FOKD, of Portsmouth, R. I., daughter of John and Mary

20 DURFEE.
15.— 6th. Elizabeth, born in 1702.
Mrs. Durfee was a granddaughter of Samuel Gorton,
of Warwick, R. I.; she married a second time.
Robert Durfee settled in Freetown, Mass., on a tract of
land which his father purchased of William Brewster and
John Rogers for £65, as it appears by deed May 29, 1778,
one-half of tenth lot of Freeman's purchase. He was the
first settler by the name of Durfee in Freetown, Mass.
(later Fall River). The records of Portsmouth, R. I.,
August 20, 1692, show as follows : Robert Durfee of
Freetown, in the county of Bristol, New England, bought
of John Sanford (who states that Robert is his brother-
in-law) 20 acres, more or less, called " Sanfords land," in
Portsmouth, for £60.
The Records of Portsmoth also show that on February
6, 1698, Robert Durfee, of Freetown, Mass., bought 35
acres of land, near Taunton river, of Peleg Shearman and
Daniel Wilbur.
On November 1, 1700, Mr. Durfee was chosen, with
other persons, to settle the question of a boundary line
between Freetown and Tiverton.
In the early records of Freetown he is often mentioned.
On page 222, of Vol. 20, N. E. Historical and Genea
logical Register of 1866, is the following statement :
" Robert Durfee was a lieutenant of militia, a Select
man of Freetown 4 years, assessor 4 years. Town clerk
1 year. Representative to General Court 1716. He was
buried on a hill near Taunton river, at a place called
' Gages Banks,' and when the Fall River Rail Road was
built (136 years after) his remains were disinterred and
removed to the easterly side of the highway leading from
Freetown to Fall river."
(This spot will not be forgotten by the writer, who was
permitted to visit the neglected grave of Mr. Durfee, the
" first named Durfee born in America," while a guest of
Walter C. Durfee, Esq., in August, 1898. The day was
warm and the way up through the tangled undergrowth
and vines was difficult. My friend thought he knew the
way, but finally had to call to our assistance an Italian
whom we found picking wild blackberries.
It is hoped that a real interest in the preservation of

DURPEE. 21
these graves, or rather the removal of the remains, to
some public burial place may be undertaken by the de
scendants of Robert Durfee later on.)
" At a town meeting in Freetown warned by a notifica
tion set up at the house of John Simmons, signed by the
selectmen, the said meeting held at the house of s*
Simmons, on the first Munday of february, 1703-4, it
was then voted that a man should be chosen to indeavor
to bring in a man into town to Educate and Instruct Chil
dren in Reading and Righting and dispensing the Gospel
to the towns exceptance. Voted, Robert Durfee to act
according to the vote first expressed."

BIOGEAPHT OF THOMAS DUBFEE, JE.
Thomas Durfee, Jr., was a member of the General As
sembly of the Colony of Rhode Island in 1707-1709 and
1713. His wife was Ann Freeborn, and the high estima
tion placed upon her father, Gideon Freeborn, by his fel
low townsmen, in calling him to represent them in the
General Assembly of the Colony, is evidence of his good
citizenship ; her brother, Gideon Freeborn, succeeding

24 DURFEE.
also to the honors of his father, represented Ports
mouth in the General Assembly in the years 1716-
1728 and 1729, and Gideon Freeborn, son of Gideon
second, succeeded to the same honors in the years 1745,
1752, 1753 and 1754. The grandfather of Mrs. Durfee
(Ann Freeborn) was William Freeborn, who " embarked
from Ipswich, Suffolk Co., England, in the Frances, for
New England, on the 10th of April, 1634." His family
were registered as passengers as follows :
" William Freeborn, at the age of 40 years.
" Mary  Freeborn, his wife, at the age of 33 years ;
and three children, Mary 7 years old ; Sarah 2 years old,
and John Aldburgh 14 years old."
(See page 54, " Founders of New England," by L. G.
Drake.) The court records of Massachusetts Bay Colony show
that William Freeborne became a freeman September 3,
1634. During the session of court in November, 1637, a
record was made of persons prohibited to have arms,
one of them being William Freeborne. They were required
to turn over their arms to the court by the 30th of the
month. On March 12, 1638, the court named him among
others to appear before them if they had not left the
Colony ; he, having been with others, ordered to leave on
account of certain opinions they held as to religion. Wil
liam Freeborn and his companions retired from the Massa
chusetts Bay Colony as requested, and settled at Ports
mouth, on the island of Rhode Island, in March, 1638,
for the reasons above stated.
The Indian name of the place was " Pocasset," and Island
" Aquidneck." The following is a copy of the writing to
which Freeborn and his companions subscribed at the be
ginning of the settlement :
" We, whose names are underwritten, do hereby sol
emnly, in the presence of Jehovah, incorporate ourselves
into a body politic ; and as he shall help, will submit our
persons, lives and estates unto our Lord Jesus Christ,
the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and to all
those perfect and most absolute laws of His, given us in
His Holy Word of Truth to be guided and judged

DURFEE. 25
thereby. Exod. xxiv, 3, 4 ; 2 Chron. xi, 3 ; 2 Kings,
xi, 17."
The history of the time of William Freeborne is well
preserved, and his descendants that bear the name of
Durfee can proudly refer to this noble ancestor.
"June 18, 1717. Thomas Durfee, Jr., petitioned the
General Assembly for a good and sufficient highway to be
laid out to his farm at Common Fence Point, he having
already applied to the Committee of the town of Ports
mouth, but had not obtained it."
" The Assembly ordered the Committee to lay out
within one month's time a good, lawful and passable high
way, fit for horses and carts to pass and repass."
" October 13, 1720. Mr. Durfee answered to the suit of
Stephen Brayton for empounding an ox, saying that said
ox was unruly, and broke into his meadow with other
cattle." " May 25, 1728. He deeded to his son Gideon, for
love, &c., his farm called Common Fence Point, being the
most northeasterly part of Rhode Island — 60 acres."
" May 29, 1728. He deeded to his son Thomas, for
love, etc., 14 acres, and two months later 25 acres."
The will of Gideon Freeborn, father-in-law of Thomas
Durfee, Jr., made January 27, 1714-15, proven January
14, 1719-20, has the following entries :
" To daughters (5) five, 500 acres in Pennsylvania
equally divided'' {Anne, wife of Thoinas Durfee, Jr.,
was one of the five daughters.)
" To his grandson, Gideon Durfee {son of Thos. and
Anne Durfee) 100 acres in Cowesset purchase, and to his
granddaughters Anne Durfee, Sarah Durfee, Patience
Durfee, Mary Durfee, Martha Durfee, Susanna Durfee,
and Elizabeth Durfee, each to have 40 shillings when 18
years old."
" To grandsons Thomas Durfee and Job Durfee, each
50 acres in Cowesset Purchase.'''
" To Anne Durfee £20, and also share of Tuovable es
tate." What has been said of the father of Thomas Durfee, Jr.,
could well be repeated in reference to the worthy life of

26 DURFEE.
his son ; he left an inheritance as shown by his will, of
which the following is a copy.
WILL OF THOMAS DUEFEE, 2d.

1744, gave to Mary Potter 10s.

was the wife of William Potter, Jr.; no further records of
descendants of William and Ann (Durfee) Potter have
been found.

and first wife, of Portsmouth, R. I.; born in Portsmouth,

Benjamin Durfee inherited, in 1712, 50 acres of land
in the then town of Tiverton, R. I., as shown by the will
of his father, in addition to what he had previously given
him, consisting of large tracts of land within the present
limits of the city of Fall River, Mass. He subsequently
acquired more by purchase, and became one of the largest
land owners in the vicinity of his home.
" He was a man of great energy of character, quick of
comprehension, intelligent, and held in high estimation
in the community in which he lived."
"At his death, in 1754, he left a large estate, some of
which yet remains in the family ; but, like most large
properties, much of it has changed hands, and is owned
by others not of the same name. He received by deed

30 DURFEE.
of gift from his father, Thomas Durfee, the land from
Rodman street on the north, to Osborn street on the
south, and extending from the shore to Eight Rod Way,"
in the city of Fall River.
This land was purchased of William Manchester in
1681, and was given to Benjamin Durfee in 1709.
"He gave this land to his son, Captain Wm. Durfee, and
by will Captain Durfee gave the south half to his nephew,
Richard Durfee, son of his brother Richard, and James
Durfee, the son of his brother Benjamin. The north
half he gave to his relative, William Borden. James
Durfee sold his portion to David Durfee, the father of
the Hon. David Durfee, of Tiverton, who, in turn, gave it
to his son, Captain Wm. Durfee, and he, dying in 1816,
left it to his children. They sold it to Oliver Chase, and
it has since been laid out and much of it sold for building
lots, upon which may now be found some of the finest
residences of Fall River. The portion that was left to
Captain Richard Durfee is yet held in part by his grand
children — the children of his sons Richard and John."

fee on file with the Records of the Probate Court of
Plymouth, Mass., book 19, page 192, it is probable that if
Ruth Borden became the wife of Benjamin, son, of Robert
Durfee, she died soon.
It is stated in the " Will of Benjamin Durfee, of Mid
dleborough, in the town of Plymouth, dated Novernher 6,
in the Mh year of His Majesty's Reign, King George the

Mr. Durfee " inherited a large landed estate from his
father ;" " and his wife received a portion of the wat«r
power of Fall River, Mass., upon the division of her
father's estate."
" He lived upon the spot where the present county
house now stands in Fall River." " His farm extended
from Taunton river on the west to the North Watuppa
pond on the east, and on the south nearly to the land
upon which the Armory building now stands."
" He was deservedly conspicuous, active, and influential
in his social, political, and public life. He was long a
member of the General Court of Massachusetts, in both
the House and the Senate, and was for six years a mem
ber of the Governor's council, and as such was one of
the honorable pall bearers at the funeral of Govemor
John Hancock, in 1793."
" He had a serious infirmity in one of his limbs, which

DURFEB. 189
prevented him from military service in the War of the
Revolution, but was commissioned as captain of one of
the militia companies of Freetown, in 1776."
" He mortgaged his entire farm to raise funds to sup
port the General Congress, and when he was paid by the
Government, it was in Continental currency, which had
become so depreciated it was of little value in comparison
to the amount loaned.
" Remaining as honorable at the last as he had been
patriotic at the first, he refused to pay to his mortgagee
the currency he had received from the Government. He
said : ' I received good and substantial money on this
loan, and the farm itself shall go to restore it.' The farm
was therefore turned over to his creditor, and thus Thomas
Durfee became comparatively poor."

S. Angler Chase and published in the Fall River Eveni7ig
News, of March 24, 1897.)

220.— 11th. Stephen, born April 28, 1776.
221.-12. Anna, born March 18, 1780; died before
1791. The residence of Gideon Durfee, while in Tiverton, R. I.,
was on that portion of the estate of his father near Wa-
tupper Pond bequeathed to him in his father's will, until
he removed with his family to Wayne County, New York.
He held a commission as Lieutenant of Militia from
George III, King of England, and this document was in
later years a relic in the possession of his grandson, Philo
Durfee (deceased).
" Nevertheless, when the War of the Revolution broke
out, he was a sturdy patriot, and was enrolled and served
as a minute man ; at the same time sending his two eldest
sons to serve in the Revolutionary Army."
" They were under the command of General Sullivan
during his famous retreat from Rhode Island."
Shortly after the close of the war his two sons, Earle
and Lemuel, removed from Tiverton and settled in Cam
bridge, New York. In the spring of 1791 Mr. Durfee,
with his wife and children, set out on their journey to
Wayne County, New York.
On pages 380 to 382 of a book entitled "Phelps and
Gorman Purchase," the following account is given rela
tive to the settlement of Wayne County, N. Y., in 1790 :
" 91," 92, near the present city of Palmyra by " Gideon
Durfee, the elder, his sons Gideon, Edward, Job, Pardon,
Stephen, and Lemuel."
" The Durfee family were from Tiverton, R. I. In the
Summer of 1790, Gideon and Edward came first to Far-
mington, and Gideon returning in the faU represented the
country so favorably, that the whole family resolved upon
emigration. Gideon with Isaac Springer, came back in
the winter of 1790 and '91 with an ox sled, consuming
17^ days in the journey. Gideon purchased of John
Swift his choice of 1,600 acres. He located it on what
was long known as ' Durfee street,' a short distance below
Palmyra, securing a large amount of the flats on the Gan-
argeva ; Being soon rejoined by his brother Edward, the
brothers and Springer built a cabin and clearing six acres,
and without the use of a plough, planted it to corn.

DURFEE. 217
" The brothers returned to Rhode Island and brought
out their brothers. Pardon and Job, with their families,
coming in a bateau and landing at their new home in the
wilderness, almost destitute of food.
" They were rejoiced on their arrival to find their corn
fit for roasting, a forwardness they have never since known.
" It served them the two fold purposes of food, and con
fidence in the soil and climate, the six acres yielded 50
bushels to the acre, a quantity that served their own wants
and over stocked the market as there were few consumers.
The remainder of the large family came out in the
winter of 1791 and '92. They had a large crop, some of
which was marketed at Schenectady : probably the first
that ever reached that market from as far west as
Palmyra. Otherwise prosperous, sickness soon laid a heavy hand
upon the large household, 17, out of 22, being prostrated
at one time with fevers ; their first bread was made from
pounded corn ; their first grinding was procured at Wilders
mill, and occasionally at the Friends mill Jerusalem."
The following is from the same publication and written
by Stephen Durfee.
" There was general prosperity in the early settlement.
All were friendly, mutual dependence made us so ; and
struggling with the hardships of pioneer life there was a
fellow feeling a sympathy for each others misfortunes ;
but little of which exists now; The first curse that came
upon us was whiskey distilleries when the new settlers
would take their corn and rye and get them converted to
what was the cause in many instances of their ruin ; and
that of many of their sons ; there was not only habitual
every day drinking but much intoxication ; I saw so much
of the evils of intoxication that I refrained entirely and
was almost alone in it ; I think the first temperance move
ment practical one in all this region was made by me
when I raised my house in 1811. when I invited my
neighbors to the raising ; I gave out that no liquor would
be provided, and although it was a new experiment I had
no difficulty in raising my house ; Strict temperance was
not then a discipline with the Society of Friends to which
I belonged but afterwards became so."

218 DURFEE.
"Our first commerce was the navigation of the
Ganargeva creek ; then came the big wagons, then the
Erie canal that gave us fair steady prices for produce,
raised the value of land and brought on a new era of
enterprise and prosperity."
The foUowing is gleaned from the MUitary History of
Wayne Co. N. Y. :
" The first tract of land sold and deeded in East
Palmyra Wayne Co N. Y. was a lot of six hundred (600)
acres south of Mud Creek square in form, purchased by
Gideon Durfee May 19th 1791."
" The log hut of Mr. Durfee standing in 1877. near the
Presbeterian Parsonage was the first habitation in that
section." " The burying ground of the Durfee Family was on the
farm of Ira Lakey ; the first burial there was a chUd of
Gideon Durfee Junior, and in that plat lie the remains of
the early settlers."
" The farm east of Gideon Durfee Senior was occupied
by his son-in-law Weaver Osband."
" In 1796 Louis Phillipe who afterwards became the
French King, while traveling through the country stopped
with Mr. Gideon Durfee, being on his way east from a
visit to the Falls of Niagara."
" Gideon Durfee Sr. gave ^ of the land on which the
East Palmyra Presbeterian Church was erected in July
1807." " The first Town meeting was held at Gideon Durfee
Sr's house in AprU 1796."
It is also stated in the history referred to that Gideon
Durfee, Sr., was a soldier in the Revolutionary Army.
The following is a record of his military service as found
in " Mass. Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary
War, compiled from the Archives." " He was a Private in
Capt. Peleg Simmons'es Co Col. Christopher Olney's

" Burrington Durfee's death was singular as ¦well as
sad. He was on a building with a carpenter shingling,
when some birds kept flying right over his head. He
threw up his hand with a chisel in it to frighten them off.
It flew out of the handle, came down, struck him on his
thigh, and severed an artery — bled to death — barely
reached his home. He was a promising young man."
No record of the date of his death has been given. He
was unmarried.

DURFEE. 249
mother was a granddaughter of Lieut. Samuel Gardner,
who died in Swansea, Mass., December 8, 1696.
Ebenezer Weaver Pierce, of Assonet Village, Freetown,
Mass., states in his sketches of Fall River and Freetown
that " Col. Durfee removed to Tiverton, R. I., and was
elected to a seat in the General Assembly of that State,
but spent his last years in and died at Assonet." While
living in Tiverton, in 1816, he and his wife, with others,
organized the First Congregational Church of Fall River,
Mass. The Commissioner of Pensions, at Washington, D. C,
in reply to a request, on August 23, 1895, gave from the
records of his office a statement of the military service
of Col. Durfee as follows, viz :
" In the year 1775 he was commissioned as Captain,
and raised a company of minute men, which company was
stationed at Fall River, Mass., for about 15 months ; he
then took command of a company of about 60 men and
marched to the State of New York, where he joined the
regiment commanded by Col. Thomas Carpenter, and in
a few days after his arrival was actively engaged in the
battle of White Plains ; remained in New York State un
tU November, 1776, when he marched with his company
to Tiverton, R. I., and joined the regiment commanded by
Col. John Cook, which regiment he assisted in covering
the retreat of the American troops from that island (prob
ably the island of Rhode Island is meant). Late in the
year 1776 he was commissioned as Maj or in the regiment
commanded by Col. John Hathaway, and was stationed at
Little Compton, R. I., for about six months ; in February
or March, 1778, was stationed as a Major with 20 men
under his command at Fall River, Mass. In May of that
year was engaged in a skirmish with the British troops at
that place, and compelled them to retreat with the loss of
several men killed and wounded. August, 1778, he joined
Gen. Sullivan's expedition to Rhode Island, and served as
a Major in Col. Whitney's regiment about one month.
From thence he went to Pawtucket and did duty as a
Major until December, 1778, a period of about 3 months.
In January or February, 1779, he received a Lieutenant-

250 DURPEE.
Colonel's commission, and with his regiment joined Gen.
Cornell's brigade at 'Tiverton, R. I., where he continued
to serve until the evacuation of the island by the British
troops in October, 1779. From that time until he left the
service, late in December, 1779, he was stationed at New
port." Col. Durfee's will, dated Fall River, Mass., April 17,
1834, is recorded on page 473, of book No. 83, Probate
Records, at Taunton, Mass., and is in part as follows :
"Item. — To wife Elizabeth, house and land bought of
Nichols. "Item. — To son Aaron great arm chair and cushion and
rou7id mahoga7iy table arid wearing apparel.
"Item.— To grandson John Durfee Wilson watch, desk,
high post bedstead and cord; one feather bed, one straw
bed, two bla.nkets, two sheets, one bolster, two pillows and
pillow case and great Bible.
"Item. — All 7'eal and personal estate to wife Elizabeth."
A codicil changes executor from Aaron Durfee, his son,
to John Nichols, January 26, 1841.
This change of executor was no doubt made necessary
from the fact that his son Aaron, some years before, re
moved to the State of Illinois.
The will of Mrs. Elizabeth Durfee, widow of Col. Joseph
Durfee, dated Freetown, Mass., March 3, 1852, was re
corded in book 100, on page 201, January 3, 1854, at
Taunton, Mass., and the following items are embraced in
it. "To son William Nichols $1.00. To grandso7i Eleazer
Nichols $1.00. To daughter Chloe Hills wife of David
Hills all other estate <&c. Appoints son-i7i-laio David
Hills executor."
Mr. S. A. Chace, in an article on the Military History
of Fall River previous to 1824, published in the Fall
River " Evening News," March 24, 1897, mentions the
period of the Revolutionary war as follows, viz :
" During the early part of the war which followed the
Declaration of Independence, Tiverton and the part of

DURFEE. 251
Freetown now included in the city of Fall River was
constantly harassed and distressed by the enemy, whose
ships were often at Newport and farther up the Narra
gansett Bay.
" On a Sunday morning, the 25th of May, 1778, about
150 British troops came up the bay in boats and landed
at Fall River. They first set fire to the house of Thomas
Borden, near the shore, and to his grist and saw-mills
located near where the Metacomet mill is now standing.
These buildings were entirely destroyed. The men of
the place rallied under the command of Colonel, then
Major, Joseph Durfee, and after a brave and spirited
resistance, repulsed the invaders and compelled them to
retreat. They left two men killed, near what is now the
junction of South Main and Pocasset streets. In their
retreat they were closely pursued to the shore, and an
other man was killed after stepping on board one of the
boats. In their retreat they also set fire to several houses,
one of which was the house of Richard Borden, then an
old man.
" These fires were all extinguished by the vigilance of
their pursuers, but they did secure the old man as a pris
oner and carried him off in one of their boats. As they
approached Bristol Ferry, the Americans on shore began
to fire on the boats, and Mr. Borden, with the grit and
sagacity of his race, which has been so efficient in the
development of this city, laid himself down in the bottom
of the boat. To this his captors objected, and attempted
to force him to sit up and take the same chances for being
hit that they had. In this he would not aid them, and
they attempted to stand him up by main force. During
this operation two of the Englishmen who were holding
him up were shot and fell overboard. Mr. Borden was
soon after released on parole. The Englishmen who were
killed in the engagement before the retreat were buried
on the same day near the place where they fell, the head
of one laid beside the feet of the other.
" In 1777 while the British army had possession of the
island of Rhode Island, General Prescott, the officer in
command, was quartered at a house some distance from

252 DURPEE.
the main body of his troops, and was attended only by
an aid-de-camp and a small guard. Colonel Barton, an
American officer, a native of Warren, then included in
the territory of the Old Colony, having learned the posi
tion of Prescott, resolved to make a desperate effort to
capture him. He embarked on the night of the tenth of
July with about forty volunteers on board of four whale
boats, and landed on the west shore of the island. They
silently approached the house where Prescott was quar
tered, seized and silenced the sentinel at the door, and
entering the house took the General from his bed and
returned with him in safety to the American forces.
Among these volunteers was a young, bold, nimble-footed
Indian. He was among the first to seize the sentinel at
the door, and was one of the two that led Prescott by the
arm a captive from the house from which he was taken.
After leaving the house the Indian, recollecting that
Prescott's sword had been left behind, returned to the
chamber, got the sword and returning overtook the com
pany before they had reached their boats. That Indian
was Daniel Page ; he was born within the limits of the
present city of Fall River ; was well known and much
respected by the early residents of the town, and is still
remembered by many now living who were children at the
time of his death, one of whom was the writer.
" He died in 1829, when he was 80 years of age, and was
the last male member of the Pocasset tribe. On the 17th
of October, 1781, Cornwallis proposed a surrender of the
British army. The next day the terms of capitulation
were drawn up and signed, but it was not until 1783 that
a final treaty was effected, and not until January, 1789,
was Washington elected President of the United States.
During the progress of the revolution and the intervening
years the civil government of the United States was in a
grievous condition, but it is not of interest in this narra
tive save to say that the military organizations of the
country were necessarily kept up with as much enthusiasm
as ever before.
" The town of Freetown was incorporated in 1683, and
embraced the territory which has since been bounded on

the south by the Rhode Island line. The vUlage of Asso
net was the chief settlement of the town, and the first
military company was organized there in July of the same
year. Other organizations followed until four companies
were in thriving condition. The officers of these com
panies, living in the part of the town which afterward was
set off as Fall River, were Captains : George Brightman,
1755; Joel Hathaway, 1771; Thomas Durfee, 1776;
Henry Brightman, 1777 ; Joseph Read, 1781 ; Luther
Winslow, 1789 ; Ichabod Reed, 1793 ; Benjamin Bray
ton, 1797.
" Lieutenants : WUHam Winslow, 1762 ; Stephen Borden,
1771 ; OHver Reed, Jr., 1776 ; Benjamin Brayton, 1793 ;
Robert Miller, 1798.
" Ensigns : Josiah Lawton, 1762 ; Ambrose Barnaby,
Jr., 1771 ; Amos Snell, 1776 ; WiUiam Elsbree, 1781 ;
David Cleveland, 1789 ; Robert MiUer, 1797 ; Joseph
H. Luther, 1801.
" The field officers were Major Joseph Durfee, 1778 ;
promoted Lieutenant-Colonel in 1781, and to Colonel in
1782. In 1803 FaU River was set off from Freetown
and incorporated as the town of Fall River. In 1804
the name of the town was changed to Troy. This name
continued until 1834, but as the village continued to
grow, and still retained the name of Fall River, it was
deemed desirable to abandon the name of Troy, and the
name was again changed to Fall River."
The following article, written by a descendant of a
companion of Col. Durfee, is so interesting it has been
thought best to copy it for insertion here :
" Battle of Fall River."
" Stray Leaves from a Note Book of the Happenings of
Olden Days."
" Dec. 7, 1776, 6,000 British and Hessian troops were
landed at Newport, R. I. The American forces upon the
Island at once retreated to the main land. Col. Cook
retreated to Fort Barton at Tiverton Heights, the fort
commanding the approaches to Howland's Ferry, now
Stone Bridge, and Col. West to the hills opposite Bristol

Ferry. Women and children by hundreds fled in dismay
from the Island. A picket guard patrolled the whole
shore from Taunton river to Seaconnet point. All New
England was aroused to a sense of danger, and the shores
of Narragansett bay and the Island became two hostile
camps. The winter was passed in raids, skirmishes and
projects for the invasion of the Island, only to be one by
one abandoned. Gen. Clinton, in January, 1777, resigned
the command on the Island and returned to England, and
Lord Percy followed him in the following May, leaving
the command on the Island to Gen. Prescott.
"In July, Col. Barton, with 40 men, embarked in whale
boats, passed through the English fleet, landed on the
Island, and took Gen. Prescott and one of his aids from
their beds at midnight, returning through the fleet with
their prisoners in safety. Fall River was represented in
this raid by two members of the 'forty,' Thomas Elsbree
and Job Wordell.
"Major Gen. Pigot was left in command on the Island.
Fort Butts, the extensive ruins of which still remain, was
situated on the highest land between Howland's and
Bristol Ferries, and was the northern outpost of the
British forces on the Island.
" Early in 1778, a corps of Tories were organized upon
the Island, and under their leadership raids were made
from the Island upon the towns and villages along the
shores of Narragansett Bay. An expedition landed in
Warren, plundered and burnt the town, and passing down
the neck, burnt a church and 18 houses in Bristol, re
turning in safety to the Island. In May, 1778, a party
under Col. Ayers, of 150 British soldiers and Tories, who
were natives of the vicinity, at 3 o'clock A. M., landed at
' High Hill,' the present site of the Iron Works company's
manufactories. The extensivet flat, now covered by
wharves, depots and manufactories, was the farm of
Richard Borden. They burned the farm house, grist and
saw-mills of Mr. Borden, and then hurried to South
Main street, up Anawan street, which was then but a
cart path to the shore.
" Between Anawan street and the river was a strip of

DURFEE. 255
wild, rocky woodland ; near the corner of Pocasset and
South Main streets was a large rock in the corner of
Simeon Borden's garden. At this rock a sentinel was
stationed to guard the bridge which was in front of where
the City Hall is now located. This sentinel was surprised
and captured, but as the invaders proceeded to disarm
him he began to talk very loud and tried to break his gun
across the rock. The sentinel just north of the bridge
heard the noise and gave the alarm. The bridge had been
torn up for some time, and the river had been crossed on
simple planks. The sentinel, after giving the alarm,
rushed to the bridge and pulled the planks into the north
side, thereby cutting off the escape of Mrs. Hope Borden,
who had fled from her burning home at the shore through
the woods and rocks along the river, as the enemy occu
pied the only roadway to Main street. Finding the planks
removed, she rushed across the road and laid, sheltered
by the rocks and bushes, with the bullets whistling around
her, in a pasture now covered by the Bcrden block.
" The alarm had now become general. The women and
children of the village had fled to the woods of New Bos
ton and the patriots of the vicinity had rallied at the Four
Corners, armed for the fight. Col. Joseph Durfee took
command. There was a stone wall that came down to
the corner of North Main and Bedford streets, and be
hind this wall, as a breastwork, Col. Durfee placed his
men, 14 in number. As the British forces approached
the bridge, they poured a volley of bullets upon them,
which was a surprise, as the enemy had been told they
would meet but little opposition to their plans.
"They approached the bridge to find it impassable, but
they stood upon the bank of the river and poured volley
after volley upon the unseen foe, whose rapid fire deceived
them as to their number.
"The Quequechan river at this time was a wild, dashing
stream, coming down from the heavy forest land reaching
out to the lakes, while below the bridge it rushed to the
shore like a mountain torrent. The boats of the expedi
tion had the tides against them in coming up the bay,
and their arrival at 3 o'clock A. M. had been three

256 DURFEE.
hours later than they had planned. The gray dawn was
approaching ; the whole country was alarmed by the re
ports of musketry and the blazing of buildings, and recruits
came pouring in to swell the band behind the stone walls.
A regiment on the march for Fort Barton, at Tiverton
Heights had encamped for the night a few miles north of
the village. They were aroused by the conflagration and
steady report of musketry firing, and at once marched
towards the scene of the conflict, though they were with
out a single round of ammunition. Col. Ayers had drawn
his forces back from the galling fire at the bridge, and
when he heard the drums and fifes of an approaching regi
ment he at once ordered a retreat to the boats. The re
treat was safely accomplished, but the invaders were fol
lowed, step by step, by the patriots from behind the stone
wall, who fired upon them from every sheltering rock or
tree on their march to the shore, giving them a parting
volley after they had embarked.
" Their killed or wounded were carried to the boats, ex
cept two, who were buried on the south bank of the river,
where the south end of the Watapee mill now stands.
When the mill was built the bones of the two British
soldiers were taken up and reburied in the north cemetery.
"As the boats of the expedition approached Bristol
Ferry on their return to Newport, the patriot forces en
camped there opened fire upon them from musketry and
cannon loaded with stone and scrap iron, whereby many
of the soldiers were killed and wounded."

following : "Abigail Durfee, her sampler. Providence

" My mother as a child often visited her grandmother

The following statements and records are from letters
received from Mr. Durfee's grandchildren, and various
histories of the town in which Mr. Durfee resided. Some
information was obtained from his son, Aaron M., who
was living at French Creek, Chautauqua Co., N. Y., in
1902. I give the information received by mail in nearly the
same language as written in the letters received.
Mrs. Alice M. Durfee Page was a resident of Venango,
Pa., May 24, 1897, when she wrote as follows :
" My grandfather settled in the town of Benson, Rut
land County, Vermont, in 1782 or 1783. He and his
father were nailers — nails were made by hand in those
good old times.
" When he first settled there it was 20 miles to the
nearest neighbor-settler. He worked and cleared his
farm summers, and in the winters he went to either Ben
nington or Burlington and worked at his trade, earning
$6.00 per month, when other men worked for their board.
He was saving and became a wealthy farmer.
" He was a ranger in the Revolutionary War. They
picked out the smartest and bravest men to carry the de
spatches from one Post to another. Their course was
through the woods, with nothing but an Indian trail.
He had gone 75 miles on foot between sun and sun, for
if they did not get through by day it was almost sure
death by the Indians.
" He came across the place where he selected his home
when he was a ranger, and said when the war closed he
would settle there.
"After living alone six years his mother came to live
with him. \ have heard my father say that grandfather

DURPEE. 277
saved his wages when he was in the army, and when the
war closed he payed $60.00 for a wool hat with the Conti
nental money he received as pay for his military service."
Mrs. Mark, of Belvidere, Neb. (now of Mitchell), re
ferring to her grandfather in a letter dated in June, 1897,

"At one time he was a slave overseer, when there were
slaves in the State where he lived. My father never
seemed to be proud of that.
" While a soldier he was detailed as a scout on account
of his power of physical endurance. He was a fast run
ner and was called on to go long distances, carrying de
spatches through almost endless forests. He would take
an Indian lope and keep it up all day. He has been an
hundred miles on foot and alone on one trip. Indians
and wild animals were quite plentiful, but he never met
with any trouble from them.
"After he had settled on his land in Vermont the In
dians drove him off once, but he sought the protection of
the State soldiers and had no further trouble. I have
heard my mother tell about a time when an old man came to
see my grandfather — he was raised in the same neighbor
hood ; they were boys together. Grandfather pretended
not to know him, and was so deaf he could hardly hear.
He could not remember of ever seeing or hearing of such
a person. The man tried his best to make my grand
father remember him by telling of incidents that hap
pened when they were boys together; but he had to
give it up, telling my mother he never saw anyone whose
memory was so poor. After the man left grandfather
said he knew him well enough ; ' he was a d — d old Tory,
and he didn't want him around. All of his children were
bom on the farm at Benson, Vt.
" He was a strict temperance man ; his father drank,
and when a boy he was required to get his father's jug
filled ; he was so ashamed to be seen carrying the jug
that he would put it under his leather apron.
" My father has said he did not think grandfather died
of old age ; he thinks he could have lived a great deal
longer if he had not worked so hard the last year he

278 DURPEE.
lived. Father went back to Vermont to see his mother.
After grandfather had died, she gave him a silver watch
that was my grandfather's, and some silver shoe buckles
of her own and some that had been grandfather's ; also
some knee buckles that he had worn on his wedding suit.
The shoe buckles were also worn at the time of their mar
riage ; she sent them to my brother on account of his
name. He kept them and, I suppose, his son Walter has
them now."
A Baptist society was organized at Benson, Vt., Octo
ber 1, 1796, and in March 5, 1797, a church was organized
by this society. Mr. Durfee was a leading and active
member in the society and church (see vol. 3, Vermont
Historical Magazine).
Walter Durfee's record as a Revolutionary soldier is as
follows :
He enlisted at Freetown, Mass., and served in the Mas
sachusetts line. Was on the rolls of Capt. Caleb Carr's
Co., of Col. Wm. Richmond's regiment, from AprU 13,
1776, to July 1, 1776, and was paid for two months and
seventeen days' service. This company has record of
being in camp, at Newport, R. I., October 10, 1776, and
was paid there at that time. On page 71, vol. 2, State
House Records, at Providence, R. I., it is shown that for
service in Capt. Sayers' Co., 1st Co. of Col. ElHott's regi
ment, that he was entitled to £20 as bounty. While liv
ing in Rutland Co., Vt., he applied for a pension, which
was granted to date from March 4, 1831.
Under date of July 7, 1896, the Commissioner of Pen
sions has stated as follows :
"» * He made application for pension July 9, 1832,
at which time he was residing in Rutland, Vt., and eighty
years of age, and his pension was allowed for two years'
actual service as a private in Massachusetts troops Revo
lutionary War. A part of the time he served under Capt.
Carr and Col. Richmond. He enlisted at Freetown. His
widow, Anna, made application and received a pension
for the service of her husband as above set forth.

the fifth son of Walter Durfee, born April 19, 1810, was
probably the only living son of a Revolutionary soldier
among the Durfee descendants in 1902. When on his

Birthday Welcome." " I welcome one and welcome all,
Hope you'll enjoy this pleasant call ;
My age I now will tell to you,
This day I am just ninety-two."
" Had I my life again to live.
All I possess I'd freely give ;
I'd improve the moments as they passed,
In hopes of gaining heaven at last."

Through the kindly interest of Mr. Melvin Durfee
Osband, of Grand Rapids, Mich., the following record of
the Osband and Osborn family has been provided for
record here.
"The Osband name is probably a variation of the
name Osborn which was severed from the more common
family name at a time and under conditions that cannot
now be traced. The name in our family genealogy has
not been traced beyond William Osband, who was born
August 16, 1729. It is assumed that he was born in
Newport, R. I., because he came from that place when a
boy and lived during his minority with Samuel Hicks, of
Tiverton. He spelled his name Osband, as appears by
his autograph affixed to a deed of conveyance of land,
which deed is now (or was recently) in the possession of
the family of the late Judge Joseph Osborn, of Tiverton.
Of his children Weaver alone spelled his name Osband,
the rest spelled it Osborn.
I. — William Osband, died in Tiverton, R. I., October
29, 1810. He was married in Tiverton, May 28, 1752, to
Elizabeth Shrieve, of Tiverton; daughter of William
Shrieve ; she died in Tiverton, about 1814.
Their children were :

about 1757.
III. — 2d. Weaver Osband, born AprU 17, 1756.

VI.— 5th. Thomas Osborn, born March 31, 1766.
VII.— 6th. WilHam Osborn, born July 18, 1769.
Weaver, Thomas and WiUiam married Durfee girls.
The descendants of William died without issue, while the
descendants of Weaver, are all known by the surname
Osband. The descendants of Thomas, who married
Ann Durfee, are all surnamed Osborn, and claim a com
mon ancestry with the Durfees. The record of the de
scendants of William and Thomas will be found in the
numerical order of their wives in this genealogy.
Weaver Osband (whose descendants will immediately
follow) worked on his father's farm, in Tiverton, till 20
years of age, when he enlisted in the Revolutionary army
for a definite time ; his term of service expired and he
was discharged one day before the battle of Rhode Island.
He ran a boat on the Seaconnet river in aid of the patriot
army. During the battle and the next day he re-enlisted
for " during the war," and served till honorably discharged.
The record of his services have not been found yet in
original documents, but on page 143, Vol. 9, Rhode Island
Colonial Records, it is recorded that at the session of the
General Assembly of Rhode Island, at Providence, July
17, 1780, Weaver Osborn was appointed ensign of Captain
Devol's 2d Company of Tiverton, of the 2d Battalion of
Militia of Newport county.
The gun he carried during the war came into the pos
session of his son-in-law. Rev. Marcus Swift, and by him
was brought to Michigan, in 1825. It was a heavy flint
lock musket, after the style of those times. The writer of
this has seen it, handled it, loaded it, and fired it. It was
burned with the house of its owner in 1843. Mr. Osband
never applied for a pension. He said he fought for his
country, not for a pension.
" After the war Mr. Osband followed fowling and fish
ing, along the New England coast, and on the Newfound
land banks, for some years. After his marriage he settled
down to farming, in T'iverton."
In the summer of 1791 he emigrated with the Durfee

colony to Palmyra, Wayne Co., N. Y., and the remainder
of his life he spent on his farm.

Mr. Osband was six months old when the family re
moved to Palmyra. His education, like that of his brothers
and sisters, was limited by the conditions of pioneer life.
During his minority he helped develop his father's farm ;
In after years he adopted preaching as his profession, and
for many years and until death he served the Genesee
Conference as Circuit Rider or Station Preacher. In the
early 30's he located his family on a farm in Arcadia,
Wayne Co., N. Y., and from this home he subsequently
rode forth on his Gospel mission."
It is said of him that he was an excellent man, and that

his Hfe harmonized with his preaching. In person he
was small of stature, and weighed less than 130 pounds.

Rev. Marcus Swift, the husband of Anna Osband, be
gan to preach in the M. E. Church in his early manhood
in Eastern Michgan, where the family removed in 1825.
He became a power in the church, and it was said of him
that he was the instrument of more conversions, and that
he organized more churches, than perhaps any other
man of those times in Michigan.
In 1841, during the anti-slavery contest, Mr. Swift,
from the conviction that his church in its acts and teach
ing sympathized with slavery, and thereby became mor
ally responsible for its existence, led a secession from its
ranks, that included a large portion of the membership of
the Michigan church.
His after life was spent in the Wesleyan Methodist
connection, that grew out of this secession. Mr. Swift was
quite free from sectarianism ; he looked to a man's life
rather than his creed to find his religion. Near the close
of his life he said : " The great principles for which I
have labored and fought, amid reverses and persecutions,
are now the ruling sentiments of the people. I have lived
in a glorious age, and my eyes have seen the powers of

330 OSBAND.
darkness give way before the coming of the glorious reign
of liberty." After his death a friend, in a letter to his
son, said : " Your father and I differed in politics and
religion, but I knew him well throughout the formative
years of church and State in Michigan ; and I wish to say
to you, as I have said repeatedly during his life, that no
man, living or dead, has done so much for Eastern Michi
gan in her civil, social, educational and religious well-
being and character, as did Marcus Swift."
In all his labors his wife proved herself to be a worthy
assistant. She labored unceasingly, and patiently shared
with him the hardships of pioneer life for 16 years, strug
gling with poverty and privation, tiU her physical
strength became exhausted. She reared a family of five
children, all of whom in after years shed honor upon her
name and character. She laid her burdens down before
she reached her 49th natal day.

The following personal sketches of individuals of the
Swift family were overlooked in copying, and are placed
here to save labor of rewriting. These should have fol
lowed the record of each family :
Osband D. Swift {a 1st). Useful labor is worthy of re
spect, however humble. The pioneer not only performs
useful labor, but his labor in its results descends to bless
succeeding generations ; though he be forgotten by those
who come after him, he is still an industrial hero and a
benefactor of his race. The pioneers of Nankin have no
pre-eminence over the great pioneer armies in the world's
history, yet with them they are equally worthy of a place
among the world's royal stock.
The subject of our sketch was one of these ; before his
13th birthday he was busy with ax in hand, battling with
the Michigan forests, trying to develop a farm in their
stead. His education was confined principally to his phy
sical system, supplemented by a very meager attendance
on the crude public schools of his locality.
In his after years he became a brickmaker and a brick-
mason. He was a lover of music, and the winter even
ings of his early manhood were given to teaching vocal
music to classes in his vicinity. His life was one of hard,
unremitting physical labor. He was intelligent, genial in
society, an enduring friend, and possessed a character of
undoubted integrity. He was not fortunate in business,
and his domestic life was saddened by the loss of two
wives and four children. He was stalwart in person,
being six feet tall and very muscular. He died in his
45th year, loved and mourned.
George W. Swift (c 3d) was in his 9th year when he
first heard the wolves howl in the Michigan woods. He

334 OSBAND.
worked hard in developing his father's farm, while his
school opportunities were few. His business through life
was miscellaneous. He was a farmer, carpenter and
joiner, contractor and builder, merchant, and he filled
many places of public trust with credit. In early life he
developed a superior ability as a public speaker, and he
made good use of this in the anti-slavery discussions that
became prominent about the time that he approached
manhood. He was intelligent and able in argument, and
the advocates of human freedom found in him an able
champion. On this subject he was fearless and valiant.
On the temperance platform also, his addresses were
numbered by the hundreds. His public positions were
State Librarian, two years, U. S. Consul at Windsor,
Canada, four years under President Grant, and member of
the State Legislature, two terms, besides numerous smaller
positions. His social faculties were of a high order.
There were few who did not covet his society. He was
dignified, pleasant, easy of approach, discussed current
topics intelligently, and with a tender regard for the feel
ings of all present.
Orson R. Swift {d 4th) was licensed to preach by the
Wesleyan Methodists, at the age of 21 years. He was
fluent in speech and his manner was attractive. He threw
his whole soul into his work ; his emotional nature was
very strong and impelled him to efforts beyond his
strength ; after preaching five years his health failed and
he began the study of medicine. He practiced in his pro
fession quite successfully the remainder of his life. But
he never recovered from the terrible effects his public
speaking had wrought upon his health, and before he
reached 35 years of age he passed over to the Beyond
from his father's house.
John M. Swift, M. D. (/ 6th), after a hard struggle in
early life to secure an education, succeeded in graduat
ing from a medical college at the age of 22 years. He
located at Northville, a village in Wayne Co., Mich. His
energy and skill has won for him honors and an enviable
reputation as a man and as a physician. He is promi
nent in the society of his locality, with few if any superiors.

OSBAND. 335
He speaks well in public ; he served one term in the leg
islature and declined a renomination. Beside his first
coUege degree he has been honored by a degree from the
Rush Medical College, of Chicago. He was an honorary
member of the Sydenham Medical Society, of London,
England, besides holding a membership in many other
medical societies, and a Councillor of the Detroit Medical
CoUege. He is a lecturer of ability and on occasions
preaches lay sermons as supply in vacant pulpits. His
religious life is earnest, and his theology broad and
Hberal. He has given much attention to music, and is himself a
fine singer. In March, 1895, Dr. Swift suffered a para
lytic stroke, since which time his health has been very
feeble. XI. — Obband, William (Weaver 2d, William 1st). Son
of Weaver and Hannah (Duri'ee) Osband ; born in Pal
myra, N. Y., June 1, 1796 ; died in Nankin, Mich., No
vember 24,1861 ; married in Palmyra, N.Y., April, 1820,
to Martha Reeves, of Palmyra, N. Y., daughter of Daniel
and Mary Bowers Reeves ; born in West Hampton, Long
Island, N. Y., in 1798 ; died in Nankin, Mich., November
17, 1848.
Their children were :
XXVI. — 1st. William Henet Osband, born December
12, 1820.
XXVII. — 2d. Melvin Duefee Obband, born April 22,
1824. XXVIII. — 3d. Luthee Reeves Osband, born March 14,
1826. XXIX. — 4th. Wilson Geant Obband, born November
24, 1827 ; died October 30, 1848.
XXX. — 5th. Edgae Emmet Osband, born February 21,
1832. XXXI. — 6th. Edwin Reeves Osband, born March 20,
1836. Mr. Osband labored on his father's farm till his ma
jority, when he served an apprenticeship with a carpenter
and joiner. He worked at that trade till October, 1825,
when he and his family, together with the family of his sister,
Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Swift, left their ancestral homes and

336 OSBAND.
removed to Nankin, Mich. Nankin then consisted of a
vast unbroken wilderness of heavy timbered land. In
subsequent years Mr. Osband succeeded making a pro
ductive farm of his timbered waste, but effort necessary
to produce this result secured to him a shattered constitu
tion, and to his wife an early grave. Mr. Osband was a
born mechanic, and this aided him to adapt himself to
the necessities of his environment, for in addition to his
trade of carpenter and joiner he, as occasion required, be
came a cooper, gunsmith, bricklayer, plasterer, shoe
maker, coffin maker, and general tool maker. His life
was pure and helpful. He not only had the reputation,
but possessed the character of uprightness, industry, hon
esty and integrity. He was a temperate man from boy
hood. He was an abolitionist at a time when such sen
timents ostracised men from society. As a churchman
he belonged to the M. E. Church till its position on slavery
drove him from it, after which he was a Wesleyan Meth
odist till his death. In politics he was a Whig, as were
all his brothers. After 1848 he cast his influence with
the Free Soil and Republican parties. He held some
local offices, but always with reluctance. In his later
years he lived in the enjoyment of a competence, as the
result of a life of industry and economy.
The children of William Osband grew to manhood on
the farm, and after their majority all became carpenters
and joiners, and all except the second have made farming
and mechanical labors the principal business of their Hves.
Like all pioneer boys their school education was limited
by the necessities of their environment. They have all
lived in the quiet of private life, and of them there is lit
tle to write. They have maintained a reputation for
honesty, intelligence, industry, and respectabUity, and
have always received the respect and confidence of their
neighbors ; while none of them have become wealthy, aU
have accumulated enough of this world's goods to relieve
them from fear of want, at least for the near future.
In their youth they each united with the Christian
church, and they have ever since received Christian recog
nition from their associates in life. They have all led

OSBAND. 337
lives of sobriety, and in them the saloon and its work
have ever found uncompromising enemies. All except
Wilson G. and Edwin R. yet live, and their ages at their
next birthday will range from 66 to 77 years (1898).

characterized by great enthusiasm, which taxed his phy
sical energies to such an extent that his health broke

" Mr. Osband graduated in 1861 from Genesee Col
lege, Lima, N. Y. (afterwards merged in Syracuse Univer
sity), and adopted teaching as his profession, and much
of his life has been spent in that capacity. He taught in
his native State, in Canada and Michigan. He was a
Professor in Olivet College, and afterwards for six years
was Professor of Natural Science in Albion College, Al
bion, Mich.; while engaged in the latter institution his
health failed, and in 1878 he was compelled to retire from
the profession. He removed to a small farm, which he
owned near YpsUanti, and for several years traveled for
the Michigan School and Church Furniture Co., of North
ville, Mich., in which he was a stockholder. For the
past 10 years he has been engaged in editorial work on
' The Ypsilantian ' of which he is proprietor." (From
letter of Mr. Osband, November 9, 1897).
His wife, Prof. Lucy A. Osband, is also a graduate of
Genesee, and a very competent woman ; she has gener

n * * * ijijjg address of welcome was as follows "
(by M. D. Osband) :
" My Deak Brother and Sister :
" We, a few of your friends, have met to celebrate with
you an event that occurred fifty years ago. None can
now remember that event but those wearing gray hairs,
and few that graced that occasion are with us now. Fifty
years ago ! As our memory glances back to it it doesn't
seem long. But in tracing the events of the intervening
years as you traced them, it has taken a half century to
compass it. The year 1848 is rich in historic events.
Few years in the world's history have left a record of
greater commotion. Unrest and insurrection seemed to
permeate the very atmosphere like a mental contagion.
All Europe was trodden by hostile armies. Every crowned
head on the continent was anxious for its own safety.
The fabric of political society seemed broken up. The
pent-up fires of human freedom were bursting forth with
volcanic fuiy. Louis Philippe, of France, dropped his
crown and fled to Eugland, followed by the execrations of
his people. Emperor Ferdinand, of Austria, fled his
country and resigued crown. Pius IX, the religious des-

OSBAND. 343
pot, holding down the rickety chair of St. Peter at Rome,
was confronted by his infuriated people and fled to Gaeta
for safety. The German states were on the verge of rev
olution, while Hungary was one boiling, bubbling, seeth
ing arena of insurrection. The submerged classes of
Europe were intensely aroused, and in desperation striv
ing to secure those rights which regal governments had
wrested from them. The days of kingly governments
seemed to have been numbered.
" In our own country 1848 was also a year of unrest.
This was the last year of President Polk's administration.
The Mexican war had not yet closed, and our army still
occupied the Mexican capital. Our country was then
dominated by the slave power, and a more cruel despot
never governed any people. Both of the great political
parties were its subservient tools, and both bowed before
its altars.
" But the events following this war awakened intense
antagonisms at the North that culminated during the
next fifteen years in our terrible civil war and the destruc
tion of slavery forever.
" But we are not here to celebrate war, nor to wave
palms of victory over fallen foes. Ours is a much pleas-
anter task.
" On receipt of those elegant golden wedding bells,
entwined by a sprig of olive blossoms, placed upon your
card of invitation to this festival, I was reminded that
domestic events also make history. And surely the year
1848 gave birth to one event that savors more of peace
than of war, when on Wednesday, March 29, William
Henry Osband, of Nankin, aged 27 years, was married to
Sarah Melissa Glass, aged 17 years, at the residence of
her brother, Zenas Glass, of Livonia. With some of us
the memory of that event remains fresh. It was a beauti
ful spring day. The sun shone warm and bright over
head. But, oh, what roads ! You placed a big tax on
the loyalty of your friends when you asked them to wade
through the miles of almost impassable mud just to see
you married. You passed over the same roads yourselves
the next day in going to the party given by our father in

344 OSBAND.
honor of the occasion. But it is quite supposable that
the peculiar excitement of the time rendered you quite
oblivious of everything as vulgar as muddy roads, and
that you cannot now recall that they were not in the best
condition. Life to you then looked beautiful, grand and
hopeful. Your later experiences, however, have taught
you that life's seas are beset with adverse storms, and
that only brave hearts and brawny muscles can safely ride
through them. You have proved that it is sometimes
possible to conquer in the battles of life and to gather
strength while doing it.
" You have endured sickness, discouragements, disap
pointments and losses. You have suffered bereavements
that left wounds that can never be healed tUl you pass
over to join the loved ones that escaped from your em
brace years ago. Little Norman Henry came to your
embrace and stayed with you but thirty-seven days, but
long enough to enlist your affections ; then his little life
passed out.
" More recently came that more terrible blow, when Anna
Rowena breathed her last and passed to the unknown.
I cannot measure parental love, neither will I attempt to
describe the deep sorrow when a loved child departs.
" She had received your care and reciprocated your
affections twenty-six years. She was bright, loving, enter
taining, and was happily married. Then Mary passed
away, in whom you shared your son's sorrow. * * *
You were both educated in the religion of the Bible.
You can both point back to the pure precepts and ex
amples of your christian parents. In early life you each
accepted the religion of your fathers, and enlisted under
the banner of Christ. Your subsequent lives have been
replete with efforts to exemplify His teachings. Your
good works, exemplary lives, and faithful service give us
assurance that the characters you have formed, and will
by and by take with you over to the other side, will be
ample passports to the better life. * * *
"As I glance over this little group of friends, I find but
few that graced the former gathering. But a few weeks
after your marriage, your brother, James, passed away.

MELVIN D. OSBAND.

OSBAND. 345
A bright young man of good character and high aspira
tions. A year had not passed ere our mother, and
brother Wilson, also passed to the spirit world. Each
succeeding year has borne from your circle some loved
one whose society you cherished. Father Glass, brother
and sister Clisby, brother Zenas and Roswell are gone.
Our father and brother Edwin are no longer with us.
Our uncle, Marcus Swift, and his five chUdren, and our old
neighbors are all gone. You were in business when you
erected your first domicile. Your three partners and
their wives have all passed to the great Beyond, and you
alone are left." * * *
" But the truer life draws nigher — every year,
And Its morning star climbs higher — every year ;
Earth's hold on us grows slighter,
And the heavy burdens lighter,
And the dawn immortal brighter — every year."

father died ; for six years thereafter he remained with his
mother on the farm, availing himself of such common-
school advantages for education as were given by the
town schools, after which he learned the blacksmith's
trade of his brother Weaver, staying with him three years ;
returning to the farm at the age of twenty, he tried seine-
fishing, but without success. He then resumed the trade
of blacksmithing in Providence R. 1., and worked in other
places until 1845, when he came to Fall River, Mass., and
obtained employment of John Kilborn, with whom he re
mained until Mr. Kilborn's death, which occurred about
eighteen months after he began to work for him. Soon
after Mr. Kilborn's death his shop was taken by Kilborn
and Lincoln, who employed Mr. Osborn until 1865. In
February of that year he joined his brother Weaver in

OSBOEN. 395
the purchase of a shop on Bedford St. in Fall River, and
commenced business under the firm title of W. and J. M.
Osborn. In 1869 the incentive of making Fall River a
leading manufacturing center of the State was given to
the live business men of the city, and W. and J. M. Osborn
became interested in and helped build the Union Mill.
They afterwards were identified with the Granite Mill,
and in 1867 invested largely in the Merchants Manf'g
Co., in which corporation Mr. Osborn was a director.
With others they were interested in the erection of the
Stafford MiUs.
"In 1871, Mr. Osborn was elected director and treas
urer of the Slade Mills, and devoted himself to the duties
of that office ; also superintended the building of the mill.
The next corporation in which the brothers were inter
ested in was the Osborn Mill. Their copartnership ceased
in 1880. They were interested in the Union Belt Co.,
Fall River Bobbin Mills, Montaup Mills, and other cor
porations. Mr. Osborn was a director in the Globe Yarn
Mill, and Merchants Manfg. Co., a trustee of the Fall
River Five Cent Savings Bank ; in politics, a Whig and a
Republican." " He had been from early life a temperance worker in
connection with the Order of Sons of Temperance. He
has never used tobacco or liquor; has been a member of
the city government, serving in both branches. He and
his wife have been connected with the 2d Baptist Church
of this city as members for many years; a part of the time
he was chairman of the committee of the society."
" He erected a pleasant residence in 1859, which has
been his home ; to those about him his affability and
kindly ways won for him true respect, and unfailing
friends." (The principal part of the above was copied
from the "History of Bristol Co., Mass.")

400 MANCHESTEE.
The home of Ichabod and Sarah (Durfee) Manchester
after their marriage was probably in Tiverton, R. I., for
a few years ; and about 1803 they removed to Madison,
Madison Co., N. Y. Mr. Manchester was a carpenter,
but in later years he was a farmer. Mrs. Dickerson, a
granddaughter, who was a resident of Freedom, Ills.,
states in her letter of October 7, 1896, that her mother
(Elizabeth Manchester) and father (Thomas Brownell)
were both born in the State of New York, and from this
it is inferred that the family were there previous to 1804.

but few of their descendants retained that faith. In poH
tics Mr. Manchester was a Democrat. The records of the

" She was small in stature and possessed great will
power ; she perfectly understood how to handle a gun,
and could shoot a wild goose on the wing. It seemed
that she had natural ability for curing diseases prevalent
while she was living, and was called often to go a long
distance to attend the sick, always cheerfuUj'^ responding
without any charge for her services. Her education was
above the ordinary for the time in which she lived, which
was of much assistance to her husband who had less

The following record of the school committee of Fall
River, Mass., was published in one of their annual re
ports :
«IN MEMORIAM."
"Mary Brayton Young."
" The announcement of the death of Mrs. Mary Brayton
Young has been received by the school committee of this
city with sincere sorrow. Few who pass from our sight
leave a more beautiful or lasting influence, an influence
that must be felt, not only in this community, but through
out the world ; for the works of all the good radiate in
ever widening circles to every corner of the universe."
" Her gentle manner, loving, unselfish disposition, gen
erous, kindly, and sympathetic nature, her quiet, unos
tentatious life, impressed deeply all who came in contact
with her."
" She has laid her hand in blessing upon our people
in many silent but helpful ways. Her interest in the
cause of education, which began when she herself was a
teacher in our public schools, continued through her long
and useful life, and culminated in the greatest educational
benefaction a city ever received."
" In the splendid gift of the B. M. C. Durfee High School
building, she has blessed not only the present genera
tion, but all who are to come. No one can wholly calcu
late the advantages of educational privileges in and upon
a community. In so nobly perpetuating the memory of
one who was most precious to her mother heart, she has
done that which will ever keep her own memory fresh and
fragrant." " Language is inadequate to express our admiration,
esteem, and affection for this sincere friend of humanity
whose loss we deplore to-day."
" We cannot forget her. Her virtues, her sincerity, her
faithfulness, modesty, and true womanliness, her tender
sympathy, her devotion to duty, her strict adherence to
lofty principle, all her amiable and lovable qualities, en
dear her to our hearts." * * *.

"A good memory is the best monument; a noble life is
the best epitaph." A Mother's Memorial to Her Son.
" The B. M. C. Durfee High School BuUding of Fall
River, Mass., was erected in memory of Bradford Mat
thew Chaloner Durfee, and given to the city of Fall
River by his mother, Mrs. Mary B. Young."
" Mr. Durfee during his lifetime had been interested in
educational matters, and before his death had expressed
a wish that more adequate provision might be made for
the advanced education of the youth of his native city.
In conformity to this wish his mother, on February 5,
1883, sent a communication to the City Council in which
she offered to erect and furnish at her own expense a high
school ; to provide philosophical, mechanical, and chemi
cal apparatus, and to give the city in trust $50,000, the
income of which was to be devoted to the maintenance
of the scientific and industrial departments."
" The site selected by Mrs. Young was an entire square,
which, because of its eminence and central location, was
the best in the city for a high school."
" Ground was broken August 13, 1883. During the
fall the foundation was laid. On June 24, 1884, every
thing was in readiness for the laying of the corner-stone,
and at 10 o'clock A. M. a few person, relatives of Mr.
Durfee, assembled to witness the ceremony. Among
those present were Mrs. Mary B. Young, Hon. John S.
Brayton, Rev. Rosewell Hitchcock, D. D., LL. D., Presi
dent of Union Theological Seminary, N. Y."
"Everything in readiness the mother of him whose
name the edifice was to bear, placed in a cavity prepared
in the southwest corner-stone of the building a copper
box containing a copy of the deed, the different city pa
pers, coins, etc."
" The building was dedicated June 15, 1887."
" In the south tower is a chime of 10 bells, on the largest
is engraved :
" In memory of Bradford Matthew Chaloner Durfee,
only child of Bradford and Mary (Brayton) Durfee ; born

duefee. 495
in Fall River, June 15, 1843 ; died here September 13,
1872. This building was erected and this Chime of Bells
placed in its tower and the same presented to the city of
FaU River, A. D. 1887."
(The above is from the printed report of the School
Board of the city of Fall River.)
It has been the practice for years to ring (or strike) the
bell 29 times at the hour of assembly of the students ; the
number of times indicating the number of years that Mr.
Durfeee lived. It is believed this custom was inaugurated
by the janitor, who was a friend of Mr. Durfee's.
The school building and land on which it was erected
is said to have cost between $700,000 and $800,000.
The following sketch of Bradford Matthew Chaloner
Durfee may be found in Appleton's Cyclopedia of Ameri
can Biography. *******
" He entered Yale, but failing health compelled him to
leave college during his sophomore year, and he visited
Europe in 1865, spending two and a half years in travel.
On his return he assumed the management of his affairs,
but his health compelled him to be largely on the sea, and
he became an ardent yachtsman."
" For several years he made long cruises on his yacht
' Josephine,' visiting various countries on the Atlantic
Ocean." " Durfee Hall, one of the finest college dormitories in
the United States, was the gift to Yale, which honored
him with the degree of A. M., in 1871."
Major Bradford Durfee was a selectman of Fall River,
Mass., from 1815 to 1833. He was interested in granite
quarries and steamboat transportation.
The following is from a sketch of the mUitary history
of Fall River, Mass., by S. Angier Chace, printed in the
FaU River " News," of March 24, 1897 :
" In 1803 the military companies of Freetown had been
reduced to three. The members of one of these compa
nies resided in the territory which then became Fall
River (or Troy). This company was therefore transferred
on the State record to the town of FaU River. The field

officers subsequently reported from Fall River (or Troy)
were Majors Benjamin Brayton, 1803 ; Bradford Durfee,
1815 ; Isaac Borden, 1833."
" Lieut. Colonels Joseph E. Reed, 1812 ; Richard Bor
den, 1823; WilHam Sisson, 1833; WilHam Winslow,
1835. Colonels Richard Borden, 1828 ; Philip R. Ben
nett, 1830; William Sisson, 1835. Brigadier General
Philip R. Bennett, 1835."
" The names of the captains of the Fall River company
transferred from Freetown were Benjamin Brayton, 1797;
Robert MiUer, 1804; Hezekiah Winslow, 1809; Job
Terry, Jr., 1815 ; John Hathaway, 1823; Luther Wins
low, 2d, 1829 ; WilHam Winslow, 1832— promoted to
lieut. colonel, 1835 ; Holder Wordell, 1835."
" About the time Fall River received the name of Troy,
military duty was required by statute from all able-bodied
white citizens between the ages of 18 and 45 years. Some
idea of the relative number of the population in the towns
around us at that time can be arrived at by comparing the
military companies of each town. Dighton had three
companies, Berkley two, Freetown two, Somerset and
Troy one each ; Freetown and Berkley had double the
number of Fall River."

The following history and record of the descendants of
Minton and Lucretia (Durfee) Warren, was gleaned from
a little booklet published by their son Theodore, and
from letters received from him.
Mr. Minton Warren was a lineal descendant of Richard
Warren, who came to America in the " Mayflower."
General James Warren, of the Revolution, was a de
scendant also of Richard Warren, through his son Nath
aniel. Elizabeth Warren, one of the daughters of Richard
married Richard Church, and became the mother of Cap
tain Benjamin Church, " the hero of King PhiHp's War."
The family of Gamaliel Warren, the father of Minton,
were renowned architects and builders; many noted
edifices were planned and built by them. Minton ac
companied his brother Russell, who was considered " one
of the principal builders in New England." He was ac
counted an excellent workman, and went with his brother
to the South many seasons, but on account of his health
was not able to work at his trade in later years, his
last employment being in the woolen mill of " J. and J.
Eddy, in Fall River, Mass., where he took charge of their
repairs." The following was copied from the Fall River " News,"
of March 24, 1897, being a portion of the historical and
military history of Fall River, Mass., and its vicinity pre
vious to 1824, prepared by S. Angier Chase :
" The echo of the King Philip war had hardly died
away before the country was involved in troubles of a
different sort. It had been expected that the English
government would do something to repair the heavy losses
the colonies had sustained. But instead of sending re
lief a royal embassy arrived to collect duties and abridge
colonial liberties.

"Benjamin Church is compared in history with Andrew
Jackson for his genius and skill in conducting this Indian
war. And, while he was feared in war as a terrible and
triumphant enemy, he was finaUy much respected and be
loved by the Indians themselves. He was born in Dux-
bury in 1630. After King Philip's war he settled in Bris
tol, which then with Warren, Tiverton and Little Comp
ton was in the Plymouth colony. He soon removed to
Tiverton, and was the purchaser of 26|^ of the 30 shares
of the water power of the Pocasset purchase. * • *
Here he erected a saw mill, a grist mill and a fulling mill.
* * * Here he lived until about 1714, when he
sold his interests to Richard Borden, of Tiverton, and
•Joseph Borden, of Freetown, and removed to Little Comp
ton, where he died and was buried. On his gravestone
was placed the following inscription :
" Here lies interred the body of the
Hon. Col. Benjamin Church, Esq., who departed this life January
17, 1717.
High in esteem among the great he stood,
His wisdom made him lovely, great and good ;
Though he be said to die, he will survive,
Through future time his memory shall live."

Mrs. Durfee married a second time, in Fall River, Mass.,

The following is copied from an article written by Mr.
S. Angier Chace, and published in the Fall River " Even
ing News," March 24, 1897. Mr. Chace had been writ
ing about the military company of Fall River in 1824, and
then mentioned the celebration of the 4th of July, 1824 :
" On the 4th of July, 1824, Miss Sylvia Borden pre
sented a banner to this company, which had been made
and prepared by the ladies of the village for that purpose.
Miss Sylvia Borden was the second sister of Holder Bor
den, one of the few ever to be remembered and honored
men who laid the foundation and started the enterprises
of this now stirring and thriving city. * * *
" Miss Sylvia Borden became in 1826 Mrs. Joseph Dur-

fee. The only child of this marriage now living is Mrs.
William Carr.
" Mrs. Carr found during the past year among the care
fully preserved efl"ects of her mother, who died in 1840,
a paper which, upon examination, proved to be the ad
dress in her own handwriting and bearing her signature
which she had made at the presentation of the banner
named. " In 1823 there were in Troy three companies, the Troy
Light Infantry, Captain Leonard Garfield, attached to the
5th regiment, second brigade, 5th division, the captain of
which (Garfield) was commissioned August 11, 1823, and
the company disbanded May 30, 1831. Captain Hath
away was commissioned captain of the Troy company
November 22, 1823, which company was attached to the
same regiment, brigade, and division, with that of Cap
tain Garfield. There was also the ' Troy Rifles ' in the
same regiment, brigade, and division. The first captain
was Philip R. Bennett, who was made colonel in 1830,
and succeeded by Stephen Davol as captain of the com
pany. " The uniform of the Light Infantry company was white
trousers and blue coats, with a white feather tipped with
red, rising uprightly from the top of a tin plate ornamented
on the front with a gilded spread eagle, and attached to
the beaver hat of the soldier. The musicians wore red
coats and red feathers. It was to this company Miss
Sylvia Borden presented the banner on the 4th of July,

the house and right-faced to the door. The young lady,
then about 20 years of age, one of the most brilliant and
beloved of the village, dressed entirely in white, with
sparkling eyes and radiant face, stepped out of the door
of the house with the flag in her hand and presented to
Captain Garfield the standard, in the following appro
priate address, the spirit and words of which would be an
honor to any young lady to-day :

" Gentlemen : This is the anniversary of American
freedom. On this day an altar was erected to Liberty,
and the blessings of Heaven hallowed the offering. May
the principles which produced our Independence long
exist to defend it.
" Then turning to Capt. Garfield, she continued :
" Sir : The ladies of this village have the honor to pre
sent through you this standard to the Fall River Light
Infantry. Accept it, sir, as a pledge of their esteem, both
for your virtues and your valor, happy if they can give one
motive to the brave, or add one spark to the glow of
patriotic ardor which this day enkindles.
" Should our country ever again be invaded and you
called upon to unfurl this banner in defense of her liber
ties, we are confident you will preserve it untarnished and
pure ; you will yield it to no other than the hand of Time,
to which alone it can be gracefully surrendered.
" The Temples of your God, the tombs of your fathers,
and the firesides of your families ; your virtues as citi
zens and your courage as soldiers will gallantly defend.
" But may the courage on which we so confidently rely
glow only in your bosoms. May the sound of war and
the clash of arms never call it into action ; and the peace
and liberty of our country, like the smooth surface of the
ocean, appear still more sublime when we know her great
ness in the tempest."
Sylvia Boeden. Troy (Fall River).

Garfield's company at the time of the presentation that

the good man then said, ' Please God, my five girls com

" Standish also says of him : 'A genial, honest gentle

Durfee, did not marry. Previous to her death she re
sided at No. 78 Walden street. New Bedford, Mass.
The following sketch of his son, Zoheth Sherman
Durfee, was copied from volume 2 of Appleton's Cyclo
paedia of American Biography :
" He was a manufacturer; born in Fall River, Mass.,
AprU 22, 1831; died in Providence, R. I., June 8, 1880.
" He was graduated at the New Bedford High School
and finished at the Friends Academy in that city. On the
completion of his studies he learned the blacksmith trade,
after which he was associated with his father and uncle
in the same business.
" In 1858 he was requested by a number of New Bed
ford capitalists to report on a new process for the making
of steel direct from pig-iron, invented by Joseph Dixon.
" This led to a careful study of the entire subject of
the manufacture of steel, and especially of the Bessemer
process, then recently invented in England.
" He discovered that a patent substantially the same as
Henry Bessemer's, but claiming priority over it, had been
granted in the United States to William Kelley. After
satisfying himself of the validity of this patent, he ob
tained control of it and visited England for the purpose
of buying Bessemer's rights in the United States, but
failed. " Meanwhile he accumulated much information rela
tive to the practical details of the manufacture of steel,
and became convinced that the invention of Robert
Mushet was an essential feature on both processes.
" On his return to the United States he organized a
company of prominent iron makers for protecting and in
troducing into practical use the Kelley patent.
" In 1863 he again visited England, secured the con
trol of the Mushet patent for the United States, and sub
sequently experimental steel works were erected by the
Kelley process company in Wyandotte, Mich., where the
ingots from which the first steel rails ever made in the
United States were produced. During the following year
Mr. Durfee, after a course of experiments, indicated the
desirability of melting the charge in the cupola instead of

DUEFEE. 521
in the reverberatory furnace. That feature prevails ex
clusively to-day, and demonstrates the correctness of Mr.
Durfee's views.
" In 1866 the conflicting interests of the rival paten
tees were united in the Pneumatic Steel Association, of
which he became secretary and treasurer, holding that
office till his death.
" Later he was called to superintend the steel works at
Troy, N. Y., but relinquished that appointment in 1868
and returned to New York, henceforth devoting his ex
clusive attention to the steel association, whose business
he managed until a short time before his death.
" He patented various improvements in machinery for
the manufacture of iron and steel, and made the first
movement, and probably did more than any other single
person toward introducing cheapened steel in the United
States." Will of Delight Durfee (wife of Thomas Durfee).

1871. The following is in part from an article in the Fall
River " News," of December 9, 1901, announcing the
death of Walter C. Durfee :
" His education was very good, and he found his first
business situation as assistant in Mr. Ainsworth's private
commercial school. Later he entered the counting-house
of Mr. Charles Potter, a Providence commission merchant
by whose influence and connection with the Globe Print
Works of FaU River he secured, at the age of 19, the po
sition of book-keeper in that concern, and has since then

536 PUEFEE.
resided continuously in this city. During the winter of
1836 he opened and conducted a private evening school.
Four years later he became the manager of the Globe
Print Works, having served as its book-keeper until that
time with the exception of a few months in the office of
the Fall River Iron Works. At the end of three years
this connection was severed, owing to poor business con
ditions. After a year of office work with N. B. Borden &
Co., wholesale grocers, he entered into co-partnership with
Daniel Brown, as wholesale dealers in provisions and
ship's stores, which lasted until 1859.
" In August, 1862, he became collector of internal reve
nue for the First District of Mass., by appointment of
President Lincoln, and held this office until 1866. From
this time he was engaged in business pursuits until 1871,
when he became treasurer of the Wampanoag mills, serv
ing 21 years, and finally retiring from active life in 1892.
He was a trustee of the Border City Mfg. Co. in '79 and
'80. President and director of the Metacomet National
Bank, president and trustee of the Fall River Five Cents
Savings Bank, director of the Wampanoag Mills, and in
the Fall River Manufacturers Mutual Insurance Co.
" He was deeply interested in all that concerned the
public welfare, and had a keen sense of the duty which
every citizen owes to the community and country in which
he Hves. In his early manhood he was appointed lieu
tenant in a volunteer company, 10th Regiment Rhode
Island militia, being on active duty in the Dorr rebeUion,
and ordered to Newport to protect persons and property.
" Twice he was representative to the Rhode Island
legislature, and as such, chairman of the committee on
convict petitions, and member of the committee which
drafted the protest against the action of South Carolina
in imprisoning negro sailors while in port. He served as
alderman of Fall River four years ; as assessor in the
years 1870-71, and was at one time fire ward. He was
interested in all charities. * * *
" In 1862 he received a commission as justice of the
peace, from the first war governor of Massachusetts,
John A. Andrew. He held this office continuously, and

DUEPEE. 537
the commission in effect at his death was signed by the
latest war Governor, Roger Wolcott.
" His earliest religious associations, through his mother,
were with the Friends, and he kept them ever in warm
regard. But he was attracted, while still in his youth, to
the Episcopal Church, and as a member of the parish of
the Church of the Ascension his name may be found
in the list of its active members from 1841, when he was
elected a vestryman. For nearly 60 years he was dele
gate to the Diocesan Convention. His term as superin
tendent of the Sunday-school was extended. He was 45
years treasurer of the parish and senior warden during
his last years, and at his death.
" In personal intercourse he had a ready wit and a
sunny humor which freshened the life of others and gave
a charm to companionship. With the increase of years
he clearly recognized the uncertainty of life, and its dura
tion as necessarily brief. He fully recognized his human
imperfectness, but he was conscious of integrity and com
mitted himself to One whose grace and mercy had been
his support for many years. His end was peace, and his
memory is blessed."
