Col. A. S, Hubbard.
JOHN WHITE. 75
day is due to the zeal, untiring devotion, and unceasing labors of
Past President Col. A. S. Hubbard, who aided in its inception
and has almost single-handed brought the Society through trials
and discouragements which beset aU new societies, to its present
prosperous condition ; therefore it recognizes him as the founder
of the California Society of the Sons of the American Revolution,
and therefore founder of the Society at large.
" 2d. That the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution is earnestly requested in its procedings and publica
tions to recognize Col. A. S. Hubbard as the founder of the Cal
ifornia Society, and thereby founder of the Society at large, an
honor which by his patriotic labors he has merited, and to which
he is justly entitled.
" The congress of the Sons of the American Revolution held
in LouisviUe, Ky., May 1, 1890, ordered that Bro. Hubbard's
name be included among those of the president-general of the
national society.
" In California Masonic circles he enjoys the distinction of being
the dean of the secretaries' corps. He is not the oldest in years
nor has his term of service been the longest, but there is no Ma
sonic secretary now serving in California who was elected prior
to December, 1864. He received his degrees in Chicago: in
Cleveland lodge. No. 211, in 1863, of which he was the secretary
from December, 1864, to December, 1865; in Washington Chap
ter, No. 43, Apollo commandery. No. 1, and in Chicago council.
No. 4, R. and S. M., of which he was recorder in 1865, Hewas
a charter member of Chicago commandery. No. 19, and served
as its recorder.
" Bro. Hubbard attended in Chicago the first reception to
Abraham Lincoln after his election, at the Tremont House, Nov.
23, 1860. As secretary he caUed out Cleveland lodge. No. 211,
to participate in his funeral at Chicago, May 1, 1865. He was
made an honorary member of Ashler lodge No. 308, Chicago, in
1865. He took the first steps to organize Oakland commandery.
No. 11, of San Francisco, was its generahssimo in 1876, 1877 and
1878 ; he is now a life member of that body. He has been for
the past ten years secretary of Oriental lodge. No. 144, which he
served as senior warden in 1888 and 1889. He is an honorary
member of the Masonic Veteran Association of California and be
longs to Golden Gate chapter, No. 1, O. E. S."

JOHN Whitcomb' (20587), b. in Batavia, N. Y., Oct. 4, 1816 ;
went to Michigan in 1831, settling in Eckford, Calhoun county;
m. Nov. 9, 1837, Nancy Emeline Hayes, b. in Saratoga county,
N. Y., (a second cousin of President Hayes). They celebrated
their golden wedding Nov. 9, 1887, in Batavia, Branch county,
Mich., where they remained upon their farm until the next year
when they went to Coldwater, Mich., to live with their daughter
where she d. June 27, 1890; he d. in Coldwater, June 21, 1892.
It was said of him, "Passed at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Eli Ball, at the ripe age of seventy-six, John Whitcomb. He
came to Michigan in 1831, settling in Eckford; in 1850 they
moved to Gilead, Branch county, coming to Coldwater to reside
in 1856, when he became Sheriff Green's deputy. In 1860 he
was elected sheriff, holding the position four years ; in 1870 he
was elected county treasurer, serving four years, and later he held
the position of city marshal, and it can be said without fear of
contradiction, that these several offices were never better filled.
After several years he moved to his farm in Batavia township,
where he resided untU 1888, when a stroke of paralysis unfitted
him for active business, since which time his home has been with
his daughter Mrs. Ball. Coming from good old revolutionary
stock, it is no wonder he was possessed of a firmness and decision
of character that made him the admiration of all men ; yet with
all, he was one of the most kindly, genial and social of men,
possessed of a rich fund of humor and being a good story-teller, he
was a most companionable man.. Of the strictest integrity, his
JOHN WHITE. 97
word was as good as a bond, and he never made a promise that he
did not intend to fulfil ; an unanswering Republican, almost the
last words that passed his lips were, ' I hope Harrison will be re
nominated.' He was a Christian man, too, a member of the Free
WiU Baptist Church, faithfully Uving up to its teachings." Chil

114 DESCENDANTS OF
Such was his love of books that it is related of him that as a boy
when sent to the field to plow, he would frequently be found in a
fence corner buried in his book whUe the plow stood idle, untU
he was aroused from his studies. The love of books and studies
was the love of a lifetime ; as long as his failing strength in the
last months of his life would permit he read constantly. After
graduating he read law at Amherst for a time with Judge Dick-
ison, then went to Gallipolis, Ohio, to make his home with his
older brother, Simeon, with whora he continued his law studies,
meanwhile teaching school at Kyger and Gallipolis until he was
admitted to the bar, when he opened an office in Gallipolis, where
he practiced his profession untU declining health put an end to
his active labors. He was elected prosecuting attorney of the
county in 1855, and married, in 1856, Ruth H. Early of Virginia,
sister of Gen. Jubal Early. Mr, Nash combined in an almost un
qualified degree those qualities that raake a lawyer and those
powers that make an orator ; was one of the few lawyers who
were equally ready and able to present a case to the court or jury.
As a trial lawyer he probably never had an equal in that county
or section of the state ; he was earnest in argument, keen in his
analysis of the law of a case and his presentation of the evidence
to the jury, with rare gifts of eloquence that made him an almost
unequalled advocate. He lacked nothing that was necessary to
the orator. His sense of humor was as keen as that of Swift :
his wide and continued reading of the English classics had made
him a master of English speech. His memory was wonderfully
retentive. Added to these he was by nature a poet in the highest
sense of the word : not a rhymster, but one who had the keen
appreciation of the beautiful, the delicacy of touch, the sensitive
nature, that makes poets and orators. He d. in Gallipolis, Sept.

m. (2) Mrs. Mary (Maxon) WUson of GaUipolis, Feb. 22, 1892 ;
they reside in Columbus, Ohio. His education commenced eariy
in life at the Gallia Academy, faraous in that part of the state
from that day to this ; his education was completed with two
years at Marietta College, Ohio. After leaving college he went
to Cincinnati and became a clerk in one of the large wholesale
and retail establishments in that city, where he remained untU
June, 1856, a period of more than three years. It was here that
he received a thorough business education of a practical nature
which stood him in good stead and was of great advantage to him
in his subsequent career. In the fall of 1856 he entered business
in his native town, continuing for about four years, when he dis
posed of the same.
On June 1, 1861, General Nash entered the Union array, being
assigned to duty in the department of West Virginia as railitary
telegraph operator. In this capacity he served at the headquarters
of Major Generals George B. McClellan and W. S. Rosecrans.
He continued in service until Noveraber, 1862, when he was ap
pointed Captain and Commissary of Subsistence of Volunteers.
Shortly after his appointment he was ordered to report to Gen.
Rosecrans commanding the army of the Cumberland at Murfrees
boro, Tenn. His service in the army of the Curaberland lasted
more than a year, until April, 1864. During that tirae he served
on the staffs of Gen. Sheridan and Gen. Crook ; he served
through the Tullahoma carapaign and battle of Chickaraauga. In
April, 1864, he was transferred to the military department of
West Virginia upon the request of Gen. Crook and was chief
commissary on his staff during the famous Hunter's Lynchburg
raid. He continued to serve as commissary of Volunteers until
Dec. 15, 1865, when he accepted a commission in the same de
partment and with the same rank in the regular army, vacating
on the same day his appointment as a volunteer officer by his ac
ceptance in the regular corps.
Since the CivU War, he has served in his oflficial capacity on
the Rio Grande river of Texas ; then a brief service in Washing
ton — 1868-9; then commissary at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1869, and
130 DESCENDANTS OF
part of 1870 ; then chief commissary of the district of New Mex
ico, with station at Santa Fe, from May, 1870, to November,
1873 ; then to LouisvUle, Ky.; then to Cheyenne, Wyo., in 1876,
to September, 1880 ; then to Boston, Mass., untU December,
1881 ; then to Washington, D. C, until Deceraber, 1884 ; then to
New Orleans, La., untU December, 1 888 ; then to Fort Monroe,
Va., untU December, 1889; then to Vancouver Barracks, Wash.,
untU AprU, 1897 ; then to St. Louis, Mo , untU April, 1898 ; then
to Washington city, where he was retired from active service be
cause of age. Promotion at first, in his corps, was very slow, he
having served as captain from Nov. 17, 1865, to July 14, 1890,
when he was promoted to major. He received his comraission as
lieutenant-colonel on June 10, 1896, and as colonel on Mar. 4,
1898, On AprU 21, 1898, the president appointed Gen. Nash
commissary general of subsistence with rank of brigadier general.
United States army. At his own request, he retired May 2, 1898.
Under the law governing the army, he would have been com
pelled to go upon the retired list upon reaching the age of sixty-
four years; as this occurred June 22, 1898, he anticipated a few
weeks, believing it to be for the best interests of the service and
himself. After the retirement of Gen. Nash, he and his wife left
Washington city, moving to Columbus, Ohio, his native state.

forgotten. He d. in Troy, N. Y., Feb. 2, 1881, and the following
is from the "Troy Times" of that date: "Thoraas White, one
of our oldest and most respected citizens died at noon today at
his residence. Number 84 Fourth street. The deceased was
eighty-five years old. . He came to this city at an early age,
for many years was engaged in the lumber business and was the
agent through whom all lumber for the Rensselaer and Saratoga
road was purchased. For several years he was president of the
Troy Orphan Asylum and at the tirae of his death was one of the
trustees. For a long period he was a director of the Troy City
Bank, and at the time of his demise, was one of the directors of
the Rensselaer and Saratoga railroad. Mr. White was a man of
unsullied character and unquestioned integrity through a busy
and useful life. He was formerly one of the most active and in
fluential of our business men, but age and sickness some time
since impaired his powers and during recent years he has not
been prominently identified with local interests, but took great
pleasure in witnessing the progress of the city ; and felt no little
pride in the success and prosperity of his friends ; he was truly a
good man and citizen and among the older, especially, his death
will be very greatly lamented." Children :

in 1861, he was a member of the Leominster Light Infantry, and
with that organization was mustered into the service of the
United States, July 12, 1861. The company was designated as
Company A, I5th Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers. He
was in all the actions in which that gallant regiment participated,
until his capture at the battle of Antietara. He was taken to
Libby prison, Richmond, Va., and after a few weeks was paroled
and carried to "Camp Parole," Annapolis, Md., and shortly after
returned home as a paroled prisoner. On account of his injuries
received at the time of his capture, a severe attack of fever and
ague, and general disability incident to severe campaigns and
prison life, he received an honorable discharge, Dec. 31, 1862.
During the year 1863, he resided a short time in Brookfield,
Conn,, and after his return to Leorainster, received notice that
JOHN WHITE. 189
he had been drafted to fill the quota of Brookfield. He, at once,
reported to the authorities in Connecticut, but was at once re
jected. It being his wish to do such military duty as lay in his
power, he enlisted in a band organized by P. S. Gilmore for ser
vice in the Gulf States, Nov. 23, 1863. This band was known as
the " First Brigade Band " and a part of the time was assigned to
the 81st Regiment, United States Infantry, Department of the
Gulf. By reason of faUing health he was discharged at New Or
leans, July 20, 1865.
July 9, 1868, he, with others organized Post 53, Grand Army
of the Republic and was elected its first commander. In the
spring of 1868, feeling that Leominster should be represented in
the State MiUtia, he with several other veterans of the late war,
in twenty-four hours recruited a company of sixty men, who were
shortly after raustered into the service of the state for a terra of
three years as Company K, 10th Regiment, Massachusetts Vol
unteer Militia. At the election of officers he was unanimously
chosen Captain. While this company was under his command,
he was one of the most earnest, faithful and eminently successful
company comraanders in the state. During this time the Leomin
ster Light Infantry, as an organization, was an honor to the state
militia and to the town of Leominster. This oifice he continued
to hold until his death, which occurred Mar. 13, 1873. He was
buried with the military honors due his rank, the funeral being
largely attended by the ofificers of the regiment. Capt. Cook was

" This night a strong detachment went down to open a work on
Nook Hill in Dorchester still nearer to Boston. Some of the
men imprudently kindled a fire behind the hill previous to the
hour for breaking of ground. The enemy discovered the light of
the fire ; and there was, during the evening and night, a continual
roar of cannon and mortars frora the castle and guns on Boston
Neck, south end of that town ; as well as from the Americans at
Roxbury, Cobble Hill and Leechmore's Point at Carabridge. The

of the town of Boston killed 4 Americans who were standing

1815; m. Jan. 5, 1842, Lucy Ann, dau. of Salmon and Abigail
(Carter) Richardson, b. in Leominster, Jan. 1, 1816. Mr. Gates
said that when a lad his chief ambition was to get his liberty,
leave the farm, get behind four spanking horses and be seated in
the box of the stage-coach (that being the only means of public
travel in his youth). Instead of becoraing a skilled reinsman, he
became a school-master, a deputy-sheriff, a farmer and manufac
turer, but not all at the same time. When nineteen years of age,
238 descendants of
he went to Wayland, Mass., and attended a school kept by Rev.
Gardner Rice ; he was there ten weeks, when Marshall S. Rice
of Newton Center, Mass., came over and invited him to go to
Newton, where he said he had two boys who worked for their
board and tuition, and he offered Mr. Gates the same chance. If
there carae a storray Saturday, school was in session, and the
holiday then came on sorae pleasant week day, when the boys
would be able to do some work. He also attended Uncle Tom
Frye's Quaker school at Bolton. Mr. Gates taught school four
winters in Leominster and one in Lunenburg, Mass., receiving
eighteen dollars per month and his board ; he then went to Wor
cester, Mass., as a clerk for Col. Ivers Phillips, who was a dep
uty-sheriff under High-sheriff Willard. Mr. Gates acted as a clerk
from March to September, when he was appointed as a deputy.
He said the appointment frightened him when he thought of the
forty thousand dollars sureties he must furnish, and he told
Sheriff WUlard it was no use to try to get bondsmen, but the
sheriff said, " You go to Leominster and get twenty-five of the
best men there on your bond," and he found thera in one day's
time. He remained in Worcester two years and a half. When
his grandfather, John DivoU" (22913), died, his mother went back
to the old homestead and wanted him to come home and take
his father's farm which she vacated, which he did, the farm later
being taken by his brother, Augustus, he buying a saw and grist
mill. Hearing of a man in Naugatuck, Conn., who wanted a mill
and water privUege to raake buttons, he went to see hira, with
the result that a room was fitted up for him in one of the mills,
and he began here the button industry. He remained a year and
a half, then Mr. Gates and Mr. Sydney Harris of Clinton made
buttons there ; later he manufactured buttons alone, and for a
brief time made bone pencU tips. He remained on this place for
fifteen years, untU his mother's death, in 1862, when he went to
his grandfather's farm, and upon that place, which bears the
name "Whiting Gates farm," remained untU he was seventy-
seven, when he gave up the larger responsibUities and buUt in
Leominster Center. Soon after, when Leominster Park was
created and an artificial lake raade, a large part of the farm -was
submerged. After becoming of age, Mr. Gates never missed a
state or town election, was a regular attendant at all town meet
ings. Hewas the oldest native-born member of the Unitarian

Mr. Whitcomb went to Worcester in 1846 and was em
ployed in the machine-shop of S. C. Coombs & Co. for four years,
when his brother Carter purchased the Copying-press establish
ment of George C. Taft. The business developed rapidly and the
firra was known as C. Whitcomb & Co. In addition to the
manufacture of copying-presses, the firra began the man
ufacture of metal-working machine tools. This branch of the
business soon outstripped that of making copying-presses ; his
brother retired from the firra in 1871 and it has since been known
as the Whitcorab Manufacturing Co. In partnership with Mr.
Augustus Rice, Mr. Whitcomb succeeded to the business of
Timothy F Taft in 1866. As a separate firm, the business of
making metal shears and presses was conducted until the retire
ment of Mr. Rice in 1881 resulted in the union of the two con
cerns owned by Mr. Whitcomb. He was one of the projectors
and founders of the Kabley Foundry Co., and has been an officer
of the company for many years. For fifty years, Mr. Whitcomb
was active in the development of Worcester's industries. Al
though two destructive fires entailed heavy losses, his credit
remained unirapaired. He was interested neither in politics nor
secret societies and the greater part of his time outside of busi
ness was passed at his home. He d. in Worcester, Mar. 28,

HENRY C. Tenney' (22416), b. in Marlboro, N. H., Dec. 26,
1830. From an early age he manifested an unusual fondness for
books, and zealously applied himself to every means of obtaining
knowledge. He devoted his evenings to study, improving all the
facilities of his native town, then completed his preparation for
college at Westminster, Vt , under Professor L. F. Ward. His
close application to study permanently injured his eyesight ; and
with the cherished object of his ambition almost within his grasp,
he was forced to forego his plans for college and a professional
career. He m. Mar. 18, 1858, Julia C. Stebbins of Hinsdale, N.
H. For several years he was a successful teacher, holding suc
cessively the position of principal of Mettowee Academy, Pawlet,
Vt., Peterboro Academy and the High School in Marlboro.
Leaving his native town, he visited the land of gold on the Pa
cific coast, and finally settled, in 1862, in East Jaffrey, N. H.,
where for nearly six years he was clerk of the cotton factory
of A. Bascomb & Co.; he was held in the highest esteem by his
employers. In 1868, he settled in Orange, Mass., opening a gen
eral store under the firm name of H. C. Tenney & Co., which
was gradually changed to a hardware, paint and oil house. He
was one of the founders of the Orange Savings and Orange Na
tional Banks, and was an officer in each. His voice is often
heard in the business and literary circles of the town of his adop
tion. He possesses in a marked degree the faculty of concentra
tion, or thinking upon his feet, ever ready to answer with crushing
effect any and every attack upon him. As a man in all the va
rious stations of life, he is ever the firm lover and champion of
right. Children :

him to drink spirits but once, and that was at a wolf-hunt,
where one was killed, and the bounty paid in rum, and, while the
rain fell in torrents, he drank with the others. But the influence
of his teraperance habits has been very salutary on his faraUy,
for no one of them has ever made excessive use of ardent spirits.

general intelligence fitted him for any position in the community;
he was frequently elected to fill the civil offices of the town, ser

business in the settling of estates; his familiarity with the law flt

in his devotion to his Divine Master and in his noble Christian
character. He experienced religion in early life, and united with
the Congregational church, through the trying period of the early
history of the little church in Troy, he was one of few who re
mained steadfast to the Congregational faith; and through his and
his co-laborer's efforts, under the divine blessing, the church
lived and prospered. Soon after he became a member of the
church, he was chosen a deacon, and as an officer in the church,
he was vigilant and faithful, watching over its merabers and lab

life he d. Sept. 26, 1878, calraly, and in full assurance of a glorious

N. H., with Parthena, dau. of Peter and Sarah (Farnsworth)
Page, b. in Charlestown, Dec. 6, 1769 and settled in what is now
called Snumshire in Charlestown. Maj. Grout, as he was famil
iarly called, was an officer in the militia and also a justice of the
peace. He was a good citizen, with at once the independence of
his father, "the brave old commissary," with many of the idio
syncrasies which appear to be somewhat inherent in the Grout
race and which often created no little amusement. After the de
cease of his first wife, when his situation, and the condition of his
family were such, that he stood in need of another, the widows
and marriageable ladies of the time began to manifest some curi
osity, as he was a man in prosperous circumstances, to ascertain
who might be the favored one, on whom his choice would fall.
And such became the interest of some in the subject, that they
even dared to approach him with the question, " Major Grout,
which of us do you intend to take >" To which the good Major
good-naturedly replied, "Wait till Thanksgiving time, and I will
show you how I feel towards you." When Thanksgiving day
arrived, great amusement was created on learning that he had
sent to every widow in town, a pumpkin and pint of molasses
that they all might be furnished with pumpkin pies for that
occasion. His choice, at length, after a suitable time, fell on Mrs. Mary
Prouty, widow of Samuel Prouty, Jr., [dau. of Elijah and Mary
(Stevens) King], and according to the usual custom of those
times, in order to introduce his wife to her new neighbors, he
soon gave a wedding party, to which as his house would not hold
308 DESCENDANTS OF
the whole town, he invited only those who lived between the two
brooks, or between the upper and lower mUls, This did not
please some of his friends, outside of those limits, who received
no invitation, and who therefore made no little talk about it.
This coming to the ears of the Major, he said he would give an
other party before long, and when he did he would give such a
party, as nobody could have any reason to find fault with. This
declaration he made good by inviting the whole town's poor ; and
one who was present at this gathering, describes it as one of the
happiest she ever attended. Major Grout went after them with
a four-horse team, the finest that he could obtain ; and the repast
that was set before them, was not only bountiful, but most in
viting. Of course there was no fault to be found with his party
this time, and the persons who were dissatisfied with the first
one, not only forgave him for what they had regarded as his ne
glect, but praised the goodness of heart, and heartily laughed at
the eccentricity, which prompted the happy turn he had made.
His second wife dying he m. Jan. 16, 1833, Lydia, dau. of
Elisha and Lydia (Durant) Putnam, b. in Charlestown, Dec. 10,

The foUowing notice of Mr. Hamlin appeared in the Granite
State Journal, pubUshed at Claremont, soon after his decease on
the third of May, 1875 : "Ashbel Hamlin, Esq., died on the 3d
of May, at his home in Charlestown, at the venerable age of 77
years. Mr, Hamlin was not only well known in Charlestown,
but extensively, through his business relations, throughout Sul
livan and Cheshire Counties. He was one of the selectmen in
Charlestown in 1838-39-40, and '41, and the representative of the
town in the Legislature in 1841-2. He was chosen one of the di
rectors of the old 'Connecticut River State Bank,' and held the
same ofifice in the Connecticut River National Bank up to the
time of his decease. He was also one of the directors of the
' Cheshire Mutual Fire Insurance Company.' Mr. Hamlin met
with an accident about 17 years ago, by being thrown frora a
carriage, which resulted in a spinal affection, from which he suf
fered so much that for several years previous to his decease he
was able to give but little attention to pubUc affairs. During the
last three years of his Ufe, he was in an almost helpless condition,
though he occasionally rode to the village, to attend to absolutely
necessary business." Mrs. Hamlin survives her husband.

ried to Montreal, June 17, 1749, He was kindly treated and im
mediately sent back, so that he arrived at home about the middle
of the September following. He retained to the close of his life
a vivid recollection of his captivity. The following is from his
JOHN WHITE. 313
son, late of Barnet: "My father was a lieutenant in 1756. I
had his journal of an expedition up West River and so on to Fort
Massachusetts. His diary was burned in the Vermont State
House. It seems from this that the above commission was con
ferred upon him when only about sixteen years of age.
" He was elected one of the selectmen of Charlestown for the
years 1773-75-76.
" In the war of the Revolution he took the side of the British.
His father and brothers had been honored by commissions from
the Governors of New Hampshire and Massachusetts Bay, while
they were British provinces, and like many others, no doubt, he
thought that the powerful crown of Great Britain would soon
crush the infant Araerican Republic. In his journal he writes :
"Charlestown, N. H., May 2nd, 1777. Set out for New York;
left my all, for the sake of my king and my country,"
In New York he joined a volunteer company appointed to keep
guard on the coast, but it does not appear that he was ever en
gaged in battle. He with six others, Sept. 30, 1782, received a
commission from his excellency the Commander in Chief of the
British forces, to go to Nova Scotia to take charge of the provis
ions, arms and amunition sent by the Commander in Chief for
the use of refugees, going -with them to settle in that country,
and divide the same among them.
He bought land and settled in Digby, Nova Scotia, where he
resided untU 1775. After the war he applied to the British gov
ernment for indemnity for "loyalty, losses and services," but it
is not probable that he was indemnified, for his property was not
confiscated. In his journal he writes, "Feb. 25th, 1785. Carae
to Charlestown ; found all ray friends well ; seven years and ten
months since I left this town." He went frora Charlestown to
Barnet, Vt., and was present at a meeting of the proprietors,
Aug. 23d, 1785, and drew shares in the town as one of the pro
prietors when the first division took place. Soon after he sold
his possessions in Nova Scotia and went to Barnet to reside,
where, having purchased the lands owned by his brother, and ob
tained vendue titles to others, he became proprietor of the prin
cipal part of the township with which his interests and history
became identified.
In the autumn of 1790, Dr. Jonathan Arnold of St, Johnsbury,
314 DESCENDANTS OF
Vt., being on a journey down the river stopped for a night -with
Mr. Stevens, (then keeping bachelor hall at Barnet), In the
course of the evening the circumstances of their solitary condi
tion becoming a subject of conversation, an expedition to Charles
town was immediately planned to take effect on the morrow, the
object being to spy out the avaUable daughters of the land. On
their arrival they called on Samuel Stevens, Esq., a brother of
Enos to whora they communicated the object of their coming.
A consultation was held, and an arrangement entered into to
issue invitations to Cynthia Hastings and Sophia Grout, daughters
respectively of Lemuel Hastings and Elijah Grout, requesting
their presence at tea, it being understood by those in the secret
that the strangers from Vermont were to accompany them home,
when each of the gentlemen before separating from his com
panion for the night raade known the special object of his visit to
Charlestown. It does not appear that Sophia Grout, who was well
acquainted with the Stevens family, was at all reluctant to accept
the offer that was made her. But the difficulty which she had to
surmount in connection with her family was not small ; for
Stevens, during the war of the Revolution, had espoused the
cause of the mother country, and the Grout famUy could not bear
that one of their number should become connected with a man
who had not been a tried and true patriot. At length when it
was found that her determination had become too strong to be
properly resisted, she was finally told that if she would raarry an
old Tory she might, but that she should carry nothing from the
paternal mansion but herself and a cow. To this she agreed, and
on the 4th of March, 1791, the afflicted Grout family -witnessed
the departure of Sophia with Stevens for their home in Verraont.

years. She spent the last years of her life with her brother, Mr.
John Sawyer, at Wellesley Hills, Mass., where she held a recep
tion to her friends and relatives May 7, 1893, on her one hun
dredth birthday ; and I had the pleasure of calling upon her in
January, 1 894, when she told me of her grandparents and uncles
and aunts, repeating many little incidents in regard to thera. Of
her brother, with whom she lived, she told me that, when eighteen
years old, she took him on horseback, then nearly a year old, and
carried him to her aunt's and kept him a week to wean him.
"Yes," said her brother, "and though I am now eighty-three, I
am only a boy to Sally, and she criticises me quite sharply some
times." Though so very aged, the morning I called, her niece. Miss
Augusta Sawyer, who cared for her, was busily engaged so that
she did not go at the usual time to assist her aunt in dressing.
When she entered the room, some half hour later than usual, she
found her up dressing herself. While talking with me she sat in
her chair, and when relating anecdotes her eyes would sparkle

HENRY O. Houghton, A. B.' (25852), b. in Sutton, Vt., Apr.
30, 1823. At the age of thirteen he becarae an apprentice in the
office of the "Burlington Free Press," and there laid the founda
tion for his future career. His brother was at the time in college
at Burlington, and, listening to his advice, he determined to ac
quire a thorough education. His evenings and other spare
moments were devoted to study ; and at the age of nineteen he
entered college at Burlington, with twelve and a half cents in his
pocket, but with a substantial preparation and dauntless reso
lution. He graduated four years later, went to Boston, and
spent two years on the "Evening Traveller" as compositor,
proof-reader and reporter. In January, 1849, he joined Mr.
Bolles, of the firm of Freeman & Bolles, in establishing a printing
office in Cambridge, Mass. It was first located in what is now a
dwelling house near Harvard College. Three years later the
business was removed to the present site on the banks of the
Charies River, where the Riverside Press assumed an individuality
and a name, resulting in the present imposing group of buUdings.
From the first Mr. Houghton was the controlling spirit of the
enterprise ; his purpose was not merely to do good work. It
was to do the best work that could be secured anywhere and to
raake books that should satisfy the artistic feeling as well as the
literary sense. In 1880, the house took its present title, Houghton,
Miffln & Company.
On AprU 1, 1888, three new partners were admitted, among
them, Henry O. Houghton, Jr., who stUl represents the narae in
the business. Mr. Houghton, Sen., was one of whom it is said
in dealing with others, he had the faculty and disposition to put
himself in their place and think how he would feel in their cir
cumstances, which made it very pleasant for those whom he em
ployed. He m. in Cambridge, Sept. 12, 1854, Nanna Myer, dau.

Mr. Houghton's home was in Cambridge, where he served the

JOHN WHITE. 629
was its resident director. He was not only one who had done
much for Columbus, but also for his State. Mr. Brooks was
born in this city Feb. 22, 1828, at the sUe of the Odd FeUow's
Temple where his father kept the tavern with the sign of the
'White Horse.' His mother was Keziah Haralin and the first
white chUd born in Columbus. Mr. Brooks began at the bottom
of the ladder and by energy and close attention to business
amassed quite a fortune. • He was in turn a clerk in the post-
office. Deputy Clerk of the Supreme Court, clerk in the County
Auditor's office, held the office of County Clerk for a time by the
appointment of the County Commissioners. For a great many
years he was in the grocery business with Nathaniel Merion and
occupied the site at the southeast corner of High and Chapel
Street. He was at one time raeraber of the Board of Police
Comraissioners by appointment, and was in great measure re
sponsible for the movement which resulted in the erection of
the present City Prison, being one of the projectors of the same,
along with DeWitt C. Jones and George F, O'Hara, He was
one of the trustees of the Asylum for the Insane under Governor
Bishop. The bank of which Mr. Brooks was president was or
ganized in 1869, though the present firm was formed at a later
day. He was a Knight Teraplar Mason and a member of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church."

" If you have ever stood upon the banks of a beautiful river
and noticed the freight-laden boats passing and repassing, you
might have felt a desire to explore its source. The beginning
would not have the sarae attraction as the place where it broad
ens, becomes deeper, and is capable of carrying its burden of
commerce. That is more impressive and of value to the com
munity. So it is with human life. Youth is the beginning, and
preparation for future manhood. How important it is that we
should broaden our knowledge, form our character upon a soUd
foundation, deepen our ideas of living, so that when we are called
upon to assurae our position in the world, we shall find ourselves
ready and capable of taking upon our shoulders its manifold bur
dens. To do whatsoever one undertakes, and to do it well, is the
keynote of character. It is of such a raan these pages tell, for
he cultivated character in its phase of uprightness and integrity,
generosity, and devotion to whatever interests he was called
upon to undertake. He was honored, trusted and believed
throughout his entire life. His business career was without
blemish. ' He died an honest man.' Such were the comments
of his friends and business associates.
David W. Brooks was born February 22, 1828, in Columbus,
Ohio. He was the son of David and Keziah (Hamlin) Brooks.
His father was from the State of Massachusetts and was de
scended from one of the first English families that settled upon
the bleak shores of New England in about the year 1636. The
son naturally inherited sorae of the characteristics of his Puritan
ancestry. Energy, thrift and enterprise, coupled with an insight
632 DESCENDANTS OF
into business, marked his whole course through life. His energy
led him into raany different pursuits. In thera all he proved a
success. He was born in the White Horse Tavern, situated on
High street. The old building has long since been torn down,
and in its place the present Odd FeUows' Temple now stands.
His parents at the time were owners of the hotel, and here his
boyhood days were spent, while Columbus was yet a village.
The completion of the National Pike was an event long looked
to by the settlers of those early days. To the proprietors of
taverns along the route it meant much, the stage coach, with
passengers and horses being a source of revenue. Around the
evening fire in the large waiting room, while the logs crackled
and the sparks flew, news of the outside world was passed around
to those who chose to listen. There can be no doubt but that
from this source of information and inspiration carae the desire
to the boy for an education. It was not long before the youth
was under the charge of a school teacher. She was frora Ware
hara, Mass,, and was the best that could be secured then. It is
seemingly but a short span from school days to married life.
He becomes a man, assumes his position in the world as such,
and is ready to take upon himself his full share of its responsi
bUity. Meanwhile he had learned the printing trade in the office
of the Ohio State Journal, and subsequently became a reporter
on that paper, along with Gen. James M. Comly and William
Dean Howells. In after years he commented upon the greatness
of Mr. Howells, who had achieved a position in the literary world
second to none in this country, though when they started to be
come printers, nothing could then be more undesirable to them
selves than to be known as literary men.
On September 21, 1850, David W. Brooks raarried Anna Maria
Sirapkins. She was born in PhUadelphia, Pa., and was descended
from a family that produced a number of Lutheran ministers,
one being chaplain in the Prussian Army. He carae to America
just before the Revolutionary War and settled in the Quaker
City. Mrs. Brooks was a woman of fine character and of deep
religious convictions. In St, Paul's church, within the chancel
rail next to the reredos, stands a memorial chair placed there,
with her name inscribed on brass. Surely such a testimonial
must bear silent witness to her character. She was a woman
-(Vho believed that God in all things is supreme. His love is para-^
JOHN WHITE. 633
mount, and at the last, when through with life's cares and struggles,
we shall find in Him eternal rest.
David W. Brooks, for a few years, was employed in the post-
office. It was during this time he showed marked evidence of
literary ability ; his contributions to a book, ' Ten Years Among
the MaU Bags,' being his first effort. Also, his contributions later
on to the Knickerbocker JStagazine, published in Philadelphia, Pa.,
were always acceptable. His writings consisted of stories and
scenes taken from every day life. Those who knew when his
stories would appear, and read them, pronounced his work as be
ing of a high order ; his imagination being chaste, diction fine,
and style expressive. They were always in demand and found
ready sale to the publishers. He did not care to be known as a
writer, believing that it was of no value to a man to be known as
such. Moreover, he would never allow his name to be mentioned
in connection with anything he had ever written.
From the Journal office we find him next in the employment
of the county, holding the position by appointment as clerk in
the County Auditor's office. In 1862, he was appointed County
Clerk to complete the term of James H. Smith, deceased. He
was appointed Deputy Clerk of the Supreme Court of Ohio ;
serving in these different capacities acceptably. He now had
reached the age when his ambition led him to consider the more
serious duties of life. One was, that a man in business striving
and working for himself, devoting his energies to the upbuilding
of his own fortune, was doing the correct thing. He resolved
upon a mercantile pursuit as best suited to the conditions then
existing in the city, and promising the most financial reward.
In the year 1860, the firm of Brooks, Stearns & Co, was or
ganized ; afterwards, owing to the retirement of Mr. Stearns,
who was succeeded by Nathaniel Merion, the new firm of Brooks,
Merion & Co., wholesale and retaU groceryraen, continued the
business. The war following soon after gave impetus to trade,
and coupled with good business management, the firm prospered
greatly, buUding up a reputation for square and honest dealing,
also securing a volume of trade largely in excess of any other
firra in like business in the city.
It was while Mr. Brooks was a raerchant he conceived the idea
that another banking house could be organized and made a suc
cess. Accordingly, in October, 1869, the Bank of Sparrow,
634 DESCENDANTS OF
Hines & Co opened its doors to the general pubhc at the corner
of High and Town streets. The owners of the bank (which was
a private institution) were David W. Brooks, Thomas Sparrow,
Oliver P. Hines and James M. Walker, all well-known and pros
perous men of the day, Mr. Sparrow being a lawyer of State
reputation. (The late ex-president of the United States, Ruther
ford B. Hayes, studied law in his ofifice.) Mr. Sparrow was also
a Mason of high standing. He, however, did not long survive.
Plis death occurred about five years after the bank had opened.
He was succeeded by David Taylor, a pioneer in this section of
the country. Mr. Taylor was a man of much influence in the
county, and the owner then of more land than any other person
in this part of the State, his acreage being in the thousands.
The bank continued under this ownership until 1878, when the
interests of Oliver P. Hines and David Taylor were disposed of,
through purchase, to C. P. L. Butler and his brother, Theo, H.
Butler, Mr, Brooks, having retired from mercantile pursuits,
became president and manager of the banking house he had or
ganized in 1869, He continued as such under the firm name of
Brooks, Butler & Co., Bankers, until his death.
There is born in the heart of every true American a love of
country and a patriotic devotion that will assert itself when occa
sion arises. Moreover, a call to arms wUl be immediately an
swered by men both old and young, all wiUing to do or die if
necessary in its defense. The fundamental principle of our gov
ernment is ' life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' This is
what our ancestors struggled for, won, and handed down to each
succeeding generation to maintain at all hazard. It would be
unnatural not to find this spirit of patriotism existing at all times
among the youth of the land. We see it in every city and village
of the country, the militia being the advance school of military
practice, separate organization into companies being first. More
than sixty years ago, about fifty of the youth of Colurabus organ
ized for muster and drill a company called Columbus Lancers,
which existed for a number of years. In early days the music of
fife and drum was the inspiration that aided the boys in keeping
up their martial spirits and raaking them feel like the real soldier.
There are only a few of this company now living, James Wet
more, who played the snare drum, and William G, Deshler, bass
JOHN WHITE. 635
drumraer. These composed the band of that old company, along
with David W. Brooks, fifer.
About the time CivU War was declared in 1861, the Governor
of the state, WiUiara Dennison, called upon the State Militia for
service. We find the fifer of the Columbus Lancers doing duty
as a private. His time of service was short, he having been
stricken by sunstroke, and for years suffered its effects. But for
this his military service would probably have extended over a
longer period, as his company was called horae and a large num
ber of them re-enlisted in the Army of the United States. The
foUowing letter will show the early activity of Ohio in protecting
herself against invasion and the material interests of her citizens.
State of Ohio,
Adjutant General's Department,
Columbus, December, 3, 1904.
I hereby certify that the records of this Department show
that the Governor of Ohio did, on the 19th day of June, 1861,
order into active service a battaUon of the Reserve MUitia of
Ohio, under the immediate coramand of Major O, Bennett, for
the purpose of guarding and protecting frora the enemy the
bridges, trestles and road of the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad ;
that said service appeared necessary to prevent the destruction
of these properties by the rebel troops, threatening invasion of
the southern portion of Ohio, It is further shown that of the
troops so ordered on duty, the company under command of Cap
tain M. C. Lilley was placed on duty June 19th 1861, and remained
on duty July 24, 1861, a period of thirty -three days. It is further
shown that the state mustered and paid the troops engaged upon
this duty. It is further certified that the muster-roll of Captain
M. C. Lilley's command on said duty, shows that D, W, Brooks
served as a private with the company for sixteen days from June
19, )861.
[seal] Col. Worthington Kautzman,
Asst. Adjutant General.
Mr. Brooks was often caUed upon at the citizens' meetings to
serve in different capacities, such as secretary or chairman.
These gatherings, as a rule, were to discuss plans and projects
for the benefit of the city at large. At one of these he was hon
ored by being made secretary of an executive committee organ
ized for the purpose of making arrangeraents to entertain Gen.
636 DESCENDANTS OF
U. S. Grant. This commUtee consisted of two hundred or more
citizens of the town. General Grant visited the capital of his
native State in December, 1879, upon his return from his famous
journey around the world. The welcorae accorded this great
warrior by the citizens of Columbus and surrounding country
was aU that could be desired. For hours he stood in the rotunda
of the State Capitol, shaking hands with thousands of people as
they passed. In the evening a grand ball at the City Hall was
the consummation of this event. A coramittee consisting of
David W. Brooks, Henry T. Chittenden and W. NeU Dennison,
next day accompanied the General to the depot upon his depart
ure from the city.
Mr. Brooks was appointed trustee of the Columbus Asylum for
Insane by Governor Bishop, and confirmed by the Senate in
January, 1878. On organization of the board, which was com
posed of the following citizens : E. J. Blount, David W. Brooks,
both of Columbus ; Joseph P. Sraith, CirclevUle ; George W.
Morgan, Mt. Vernon ; and Benjarain Myers, M. D., Ashland ;
he was raade secretary and continued as such until he resigned.
He was active in the work while a meraber of this body, and
inaugurated a system of keeping accounts in the asylum which is
still in operation. This being a large institution, it required a
systematic record for handling the receipts and disbursements.
This record gives a complete detail of all personal requirements
of its inmates ; also an exact statement of its financial affairs
from day to day. This system for keeping accounts has been
adopted by other institutions throughout the State.
It was during his term as Police Commissioner that he took
the greatest interest in the moral welfare of the city. The older
inhabitants of Columbus will remember the ' calaboose ' or station
house located back of the Central Market House on Fourth
street. The city then had a population of forty or fifty thousand
people. This station house had long been a sore spot to the city ;
it being entirely too small and inadequate for the purpose in
tended, and for do-wnright filth could not be equaled. In it all
criminals were crowded. The sraall room in the second story
was for the men and boys. The first floor was used for unfor
tunate women. The buUding was about forty feet square and
two stories high. Across the narrow street, upstairs, a large
roora in the Central Market House served as poUce court. The
JOHN WHITE. 637
prisoners were conducted through the street, upstairs into the
court-room for trial.
After two or three years of hard and almost discouraging
work, Mr. Brooks, with the aid of the Rev. A. G. Byers, a mem
ber of the State Board of Associated Charities, and the Hon.
DeWitt C. Jones, a lawyer, also member of City CouncU at this
time, succeeded in having passed an ordinance through Council
to purchase land and build a city prison. The building was com
menced in the spring of 1878, and represented the idea in con
struction, of what was then called prison reforra. That is, pro
viding cell departments for the classification of criminals, sanitary
in construction ; a hospital for the sick or wounded ; padded
rooms for the insane ; comfortable, neat rooms, though bars at
the windows, for the better class of suspects only, both men and
women. The building is three stories high.
On Deceraber, 18, 1878, the cornerstone of the new City
Prison, erected on the bank of the Scioto River at the foot of
Town street, was laid with appropriate ceremonies. The large
derrick by which the stone was lowered had a flag floating aloft,
and the services were as impressive as they could be made. The
attendance included all of the city officials, police and fire de
partment, and prison contractors, who marched from City Hall
to the place of ceremony.
The reader will observe that in the address deUvered by Mr.
Brooks when the prison was dedicated, many ideas advanced by
him, nearly a quarter of a century ago, are now accepted They
are being put into practical force by nearly every State having
humanitarian sympathies for its unfortunates.
The following account of the opening of the new City Prison is
taken from the Ohio State Journal, Tuesday morning, December
30, 1879.
GRAND OCCASION.
The New City Prison Formally Opened for Occupation
— An Institution for Reform as well as Custody.
Among the many speakers were the Hon. DeWitt C. Jones,
Rev. A. G. Byers, Hon. Chauncey N. Olds, David W. Brooks
and others. A short extract frora the address of Mr, Brooks de
livered upon that occasion is as follows :
Mr. Chairraan, Ladies and Gentlemen — We are glad to see so
638 descendants of
many present to witness the opening ceremonies ot this symbol
of the sovereignity of the law. The universal expressions of ap
proval as to its construction, I am pleased to say, indicates a
growing feeling of sympathy for the unfortunates who are to be
hereto committed, and who will here suffer the penalty of broken
law. I am proud to say, that while in its construction it sym
bolizes majesty, dignity and authority of the municipality, that it
also honors our civilization, because it is a step forward in the di
rection of that Christian charity which is steadily and surely cor
recting public opinion and converting our prisons into educational
and reformatory, rather than penal institutions.
That the peace and good order of the city may be maintained,
that the citizens thereof may be protected in the enjoyment of
life and property, such a buUding is a necessity, for since the kill
ing of Abel, the first crime which blotted the pages of history,
crime has existed. Sad as may be the comraentary on the en
lightenment of our age, the necessity continues ; for is not the
road to destruction broader than the road which leads to a better
life. The various causes which prompt the commission of crime
presents a vast field of contemplation, its results being a great
train of broken, bleeding, sorrowing and suffering hearts ; and
the best means to be used for its prevention and punishment,
is food for the most earnest and intelligent reflection.
Idleness, either voluntary or enforced, is one of the great pro
moters of crime. The vicious associations it engenders, the dis
solute habits to which it leads, are but preludes to the wickedness
which follows. Corrupted by idleness and contaminated by evil
communications, the heart becomes callous and the bent of the
mind is toward that which is evil.
Following idleness comes the desire for stiraulants to 'kill
time ' or to ' drown sorrow ' both crimes in themselves. What
shall be said of strong drink, the king cause of almost all the
crimes in the catalogue of sin ? This instigator of heated passion,
this murderer of innocent babes and loving mothers, this deso-
lator of mind, body and estate, this breeder of more wretched
ness, want and woe than all else ? When the passion for strong
drink gains the mastery there is but little hope of amendment
of life ; step by step the victim advances in crime until overtaken
by the avenging hand of the law. First the police station house.
JOHN WHITE. 639
second the county jaU, third the penitentiary, fourth and lastly
the sheriff's noose or sorae other disgraceful death. A wasted
life yielding a harvest of sorrow only. The entreaties of a lov
ing mother, the supplications of a devoted wife, the expostulations
of friends, aU are unheeded — nothing can move him. Hope is
deferred until finally hope is dLsappointed.
Is there a mother here to-night whose heart was once made
glad with the hope and proraise that her son would be a staff in
her declining years, but who is now mourning the corruption of
heart induced by strong drink ? I hope not, for King Solomon
truly said, 'A foolish son is the heaviness of his mother,'
The great step toward the prevention of crime is the separa-
ration and classification of offenders. We, to-night, celebrate
the completion of a building which is a model prison. In the
great wisdom of our city fathers, this has been erected and is by
them dedicated in humanity to their erring chUdren In this
building, absolute separation and perfect classification is attained.
The prison department is in the lower story, which is divided
into four cell rooms, two for male and two for female, containing
seventy-eight cells. These rooms are all large, well heated by
steam, well lighted and perfectly ventilated, and sewered, ren
dering it almost, if not quite impossible for odors or foul air to
be engendered.
Connected with each cell is a water pocket, which hourly sup
plies the occupant with cool, fresh drinking water, a decent
sleeping place, a bread or victuals tray, and a water closet. The
cells are built with reference to separation and seclusion, and
consequently there can be as many classifications as there are
cells in each roora. An offender can be taken to any cell in
either room, without being seen by occupants of other cells, and
from thence to the Mayor's Court without being seen by in
mates or the public.
The second story, or administration part of the building, is
divided into the Mayor's Court roora, offices for the Mayor,
Police Commissioners, Secretary of the Police Comraissioners,
Superintendent of PoUce, a stolen or lost property room, and
eight well-ventilated, well-lighted and well-warmed strong rooms
for young or first offenders. The arrangement of these strong
rooms admits of eight classifications. One of the most secluded
of these strong rooms was intended to be padded with stout
640 DESCENDANTS OF
leather, and stuffed with hair ; in which insane persons or vic
tims of delirium tremens would be confined, thus protecting them
from self -injury. Ample facilities for bathing and cleansing in
mates are provided in each of the lockups.
The third story is divided into a large room for the assembUng
of the police force, wardrobe and dressing room, hospital, dis
pensary, laboratories and bathrooms.
Too much praise cannot be awarded the City Council, the
Police Commissioners, the press and public. They favored the
enterprise at the beginning and were faithful to the end. Another
suggestion as to what would result in the prevention of crime :
An enactment by the Legislature of a law empowering the Boards
of Education in each city and town in the State to employ one or
more humane and judicious persons, male or female, clothed with
the power to arrest, to act as officers whose duty it would be to
inquire into the history of any child between the ages of seven
and fifteen who is found wandering about the streets or public
places of such city or town, having no lawful occupation or busi
ness, not attending school, and growing up in idleness and vice.
If they find upon inquiry, that the parent or parents of such chUd
encourages such idleness, or that the chUd is incorrigible, notify
the parent or parents that the chUd must be put at some lawful
occupation or business, kept off the streets, or sent and kept at
some school of learning, either public, private or parochial, under
penalty of the arrest of said child, and sentence to such an edu
cational and reformatory institution as may be designated in said
act. If upon inquiry, the parent or parents of said child shall be
found to be unable to properly clothe them for reception at school,
and for that reason only are they kept out, they shall be decently
clad at public expense, placed in such school, pubhc, private or
parochial, as the parents may elect, at the usual charges for tuition
if any, and kept there under the surveUlance of the officer or
officers before mentioned. The maximum of the sentence to be
also fixed in the law. The courts, upon whom jurisdiction shaU
be conferred, to carefully examine into the facts of the case and
sentence as the facts shall warrant.
Undoubtedly some wiU say. Why, this would be compulsory
education. Others wiU probably say, 'I don't want my child
dragged to school by an officer.' I would rauch prefer to have a
JOHN WHITE. 641
child of mine 'dragged' to school than dragged to the City
Prison, and finally to the Penitentiary.
Say of it what you will, society is in a measure responsible for
its waifs ; at least the responsibUity cannot be shirked, it is be
fore us daUy. I think such a law would be a great preventer of
crime, and surely at a far less cost of sobs, sighs and tears, say
ing nothing of money, than an education acquired in the average
police station house or calaboose.
May we who are free from the vices that wUl lead others here,
remember in charity those who are strangers to this happiness.
Let us extend to them such acts of mercy and words of encour
agement as raay with blessings of Providence prove a pUlar of
fire, to guide them in this wilderness of sin and save them from a
fatal fall. For is it not a worthier victory by far, to win a heart
than desolate a soul ?
This prison was completed and occupied January 1, 1880. It
was pronounced the most modern in the Central West, and was
visited largely by men from the East who were interested in
prison reforra. The Ohio State Board of Charities, consisting of
the following gentlemen : Governor Richard M. Bishop, John W.
Andrews, A. G. Byers, Secretary of the Board, all of Columbus ;
Roeliff Brinkerhoff, of Mansfield ; Joseph Perkins, Cleveland,
and M. D. Carrington, Toledo, Ohio, endorsed it as a board in
the following stateraent : ' We would call attention to the new
City Prison recently built at Columbus as the best in Ohio and
probably equal to any in the United States. It is well worthy
the attention of city authorities generally, as suggesting the true
plan upon which they should be constructed.'
Mrs. Brooks d. Mar. 19, 1866, and he afterwards married Emma
L. Brooks, of Worcester, Mass., who d. February 17, 1889.
David W. Brooks d. January 31, 1890. He was a member of
St. Paul's Church, and a meraber of Mt. Vernon Commandery,
Knights Teraplar, Columbus, Ohio. The funeral services were
conducted by the Rev. Charles O'Meara of Trinity Episcopal
Church. The pall bearers were Peletiah W. Huntington, Chas.
J. Hardy, James H. Barcus, Edward L. Taylor, Theodore H.
Butler, and George Bellows. He was buried from his residence
on East Rich street, he having acquired this home in 1853, and
moved there in that year with his young wife.
It was here that all of their children were reared. The home-
642 DESCENDANTS OF
Stead was called Rose HiU, on account of its beautiful s'hrubbery
and rose bushes grown upon the lawn. The place was a delight
to the eye in summer.
The homestead remained in possession of the family until a few
years ago, when owing to the rapid progress of building in that
locality it was divided into lots and disposed of for other homes."

JOHN H. Leavitt' (13588), p. 359, b. in Heath, Mass., Oct.
11, 1831; when about five years of age his father moved to
Charlemont, Mass. He attended the district school and Frank
lin Academy in Shelbume Falls, and afterwards studied about
one year in Williston Seminary in East Hampton, Massachusetts.
In 1853, he left his New England home for the West, going to
Iowa in April, 1854, and to Waterloo, Iowa, in Septeraber of the
sarae year, where he has since resided. His first occupation in
the West was that of a surveyor and civil engineer ; later he en
gaged in buying and selling real estate, and afterwards in bank
ing, which business he has continued until the present time,
being president of the Leavitt and Johnson National Bank of
Waterloo. He is a republican in politics, casting his first vote
for John C. Fremont in 1856. In 1871, he was elected to the
Iowa Senate. He was one of the charter members of the First
Congregational Church of Waterloo. He married Jan. 1, 1858,
Caroline C. Ware of Putnam County, 111., dau. of Ralph and
Lucinda (Clark) Ware of Conway, Mass., b. Oct. 11, 1836. They
have five children and twelve grandchildren.
Mr. LeavUt is a descendant of Rev. Jonathan Leavitt, the first
minister of Charlemont. Jonathan Leavitt was born in Suffield,
Conn., in 1731 ; before he was two years old his father, a brother
and a sister aU died within three days. The character of the
famUy is best inferred upon the fact that three of the sons were
educated at Yale ; two of them became ministers and a daughter
was the mother of Chief Justice Ellsworth of the Umted States
Supreme Court. Jonathan was graduated from Yale and or
dained at Walpole, N. H., in 1761, his brother, Freegrace, of
Somers, Conn., preaching the ordination serraon, and appreciated
an interesting discourse worthy of the care with which it has
been preserved.

home, then the schoolhouse, later the church, was carried out by
the people of Charlemont, but for the first twenty -five years
their efforts to form a church were unavailing because of the con
tinuous Indian warfare. In March, 1767, David White (son of
Col. Jonathan and great-grandfather of John B. White of Kansas
City) was chosen by the town to go to Walpole and invite Mr.
Leavitt to preach as a candidate ; negotiations were not com
pleted until September, when the town voted "to accept the pro
posal of Mr. Leavitt to become their minister," and a committee
was appointed to prepare for the installation. The installation,
however, was postponed until October of the following year,
(1768), probably for a lack of a suitable place for the exercises.
Mr. Leavitt was living in Charlemont in Noveraber, 1767, al
though no records of the organizations of the church have been
found it is probable frora the best evidence attainable, that dur
ing the year the church was organized, the meeting-house con
structed and Mr. Leavitt's residence buUt for him by the town,
as agreed upon by the terms of settlement. For one hundred
and thirty-five years this house has withstood the gales which
sweep over the top of Greylock and Hoosac mountains, and at
the present time is connected with the outside world by that
raodern invention, the telephone. The timbers in the frame are
very large, and including the studs and braces, were hewn from
the primeval forest trees, the clapboards are split and shaved and
all less tUan six feet in length, the boards used in the floors are
very wide, some of them measuring two feet across.
The amount of labor represented by the construction in the
wilderness of two such substantial buildings in one season by a
small handful of men well illustrates the intelligent industry and
determination, characteristic -of the New England pioneer. It is
said of Mr. Leavitt : " He was endowed with good talents, a gentle
man in his manners, hospitable and very social in his ample home,
and a Christian in his deportment at horae and abroad." " He
dressed in the costume of the day, wearing a powdered wig and
cocked hat, and made a dignified appearance." The congrega
tion were accustomed to rise and salute their minister upon his
entrance to the meeting-house for the Sabbath service. "His
sermons are sound in theology and manifest a mind able to work
with profound subjects."
Since the death of Mr. Leavitt, a hundred years ago, a tradi-
644 DESCENDANTS OF
tion has prevailed that he favored the mother country during the
Revolutionary period, but the following incident would seem to
disapprove such a theory and establish beyond question the fact
that his sympathies were with the patriots in their struggle for
independence. On Thanksgiving day in 1777, Mr. Leavitt
preached a sermon to his congregation in Charlemont which bears
on the title page, in his own handwriting, the following inscrip
tion : " A Thanksgiving anniversary discourse in commemoration
of the glorious victory of the American troops over a whole Brit
ish army under General Burgoyne, resulting in the surrender of
the BrUish to the Americans under General Gates on October
17th, 1777." Eighty-eight years later Rev. Wm. S. Leavitt,
(then pastor at Hudson, N. Y., a great grandson of Rev. Jonathan
Leavitt), preached a Thanksgiving sermon in commemoration of
the close of the war of the Rebellion. At the beginning of the
discourse he held up to the view of his audience this ancient man
uscript, read to them the title page, and used the same text as the
subject of his sermon.
Mr. Leavitt's pastorate in Charlemont covered a period of
eighteen years, and terminated with the organization of the new
town of Heath (which included Mr. Leavitt's residence) in 1785.
At the same time a new church was formed in Heath, but for five
years they had no settled pastor, and part of this time Mr. Leavitt
officiated as their minister. But few newspapers were taken in
Heath at that time and consequently the voters were not well in
formed on political subjects. The following incident iUustrates
the confidence Mr. Leavitt's townsmen placed in his judgraent.
At a town meeting in Heath the people voted for Samuel Adams
for governor. Mr. Leavitt arrived at the meeting after the vote
•had been taken and informed the voters that Mr. Adams was a
democrat and they should have voted for the Whig candidate.
The people became excited at this information and decided to
ballot a second time, with the result that the Whig candidate re
ceived the vote of the town.
He was active in business affairs and acquired considerable
property, his home from the time of the settlement in Heath in
1768, untU his death in 1802, was the house buUt for him at the
time of his settlement. Mr. Leavitt married in 1761, Sarah
Hooker, a great granddaughter of Rev. Thomas Hooker, a noted
New England divine. She died in 1791, and Rev. John Emerson
Jonathan Leavitt Homestead, Greenfield, Mass.
JOHN WHITE. 645
of Conway in the funeral sermon says : " In addition to good
natura] talents, Mrs. LeavUt possessed an unaffected and most
engaging temper and deportment, which gave a luster to the
beauty of her person far superior to what it could have derived
from the most brilliant ornaments of art." Mr. LeavUt has said
of the oldest child : " My dear and only daughter Clarissa died
in 1798 ; she was a professor of the faith and in the judgment of
charity died in the Lord." Jonathan the oldest son, was gradu
ated from Yale and became a successful lawyer at Greenfield.
He was appointed judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1812,
and judge of Probate in 1814, which office he held untU 1821.
The famUy home in Greenfield is now known as the Hovey resi
dence and is stiU a prominent feature in Greenfield architecture.
The west wing was used as a business office. His wife was a
a daughter of President Stiles of Yale, and his family of daugh
ters were conspicuous in the social life of the period in Greenfield.
Hart, the second son, was also a resident of Greenfield, where he
kept an old-fashioned store of general merchandise located just
west of the residence of his brother Jonathan. His home was on
the same side of Main street a little farther east. The foUowing
account of his marriage is taken from the " Boston Gazette and
Century Magazine," dated Feb, 11, 1793: "Marriages at Deer
field, Mass., Capt. Joshua Clapp of Burlington, Vt., to Miss Abi
gaU Barnard of Deerfield ; Mr. Hart Leavitt of Greenfield, to
Miss Rachel Barnard ; Dr. Stone of Greenfield, to Miss Sally
Barnard." It is worthy of reraark that the three brides were sis
ters and one matrimonial eve made wives of thera all ; the sisters
are the originals of Mrs. Yale's "Brides in Blue." Joshua, the
third son, left New England for the West Indies in 1791, the ship
was wrecked on a desert island, where he lived for several years,
subsisting principally upon crawfisU. After his rescue he es
tablished a business in Charleston, S. C, but did not communi
cate with his New England friends. Ill the summer of 1802,
somei bales of cotton were seen on a wharf in New York marked
" Joshua Leavitt." In August, Mr. Leavitt made a journey on
horseback to New York to trace this clue, the excitement of the
journey resulted in his death soon after his return and before tid
ings had been received from the absent son. A few weeks later
a letter was received frora hira dated at Charleston, S. C, ex-
ppressing pleasure upon hearing again frora bis relatives at horae,
646 DESCENDANTS OF
and his sorrow at the death of his parents and sister. His letters
show a genial and loving character. The reason of his absence
is not known, although tradition has it that it was a love affair.
At his invitation four of his brothers settled at various points in
the South ; they seem to have succeeded fairly well in business,
but the average length of the life of the five brothers who settled
in the South was less by eighteen years than of the six who re
mained in their native climate. David the fourth son, lived for a
series of years in Putney, Vermont, and kept a general store.
He was active in church and mUitary affairs. His last years
were spent in Boston and his last Sabbath in teaching (as was
his usual custom) a Bible class in the State Prison at Charles
town, Mass.
Roger, the fifth son, lived on the homestead in Heath. He
acquired a large fortune for the period and the locality ; his intel-
hgence, integrity and uprightness coraraanded the confidence of
his associates.. He held perhaps every office in the gift of the
town, and was active in church and miUtary affairs, Uolding the
several grades of office in the local militia, including the comraand
of a regiraent noted for its superior drUl and equipment. He was
also active in educational and political reforms of the period, and
in company with Miss Lyon canvassed the town of Heath and
raised ^1200 for the first serainary building at South Hadley; a
remarkable record of benevolence for a small agricultural town.
In 1833, he removed to Charlemont, which was his horae until
his death in 1840. He helped to locate and build the new county
buildings in Greenfield at the organization of the new county, and
on the day before his death, June 1, 1840, was norainated by the
new Liberty party of Massachusetts as their candidate for Lieu
tenant-governor. His wife was a daughter of Col. Hugh Maxwell of Heath.
Their eldest son, Joshua, was graduated frora Yale, and so far as
known, was the only man who ever ventured to open a law office
in Heath. Later he became a minister and active in the temper
ance and anti-slavery movements, but is better known as editor
of the Emancipator and the Nezv York Independent. In the early
anti-slavery period he spent several winters in Washington report
ing the proceedings of Congress for his paper. He was present
when John Quincy Adams presented a petition from the people of
his district for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia ;

the Southern members were opposing the reception of petitions
upon the subject of slavery. Mr. Adams, in his defense of the
right of petition, requested the clerk to read the constitution.
The clerk read a few sentences and stopped ; Mr. Adams said,
"read on." The clerk read again and stopped ; after several re
petitions Mr. Adams said, "read on untU I tell you to stop."
When he reached the words, " Congress shall make no law
abridging the right of the people to petition the government for
a redress of grievance," Mr. Adams said, "that will do." And
without previous special preparation spoke for three days in de
fense of the right of petition. Mr. Leavitt reported the speech
in full, but by some means the Southem sympathizers obtained
possession of it and in consequence it has never been printed.
Mr. Leavitt often said it was the most eloquent speech he ever
heard from the lips of the "old man eloquent."
Roswell was a successful physician and a respected and useful
citizen of Cornish, N. H. His wife was a granddaughter of
Rev. Jonathan Ashley, the second minister of Deerfield, and a
daughter of Tirsah (Field) Ashley, the second wife of Rev. Jon
athan Leavitt. Their first son, Jonathan, was for twenty-five
years pastor of the Richmond Street church of Providence, R. I.
A daughter was the wife of Rev. Aaron Foster, for twenty years
the honored pastor of the little church in East Charlemont.
Mrs. Foster lived a beautiful and quiet life ; she had a Uvely inter
est in each individuality and her influence became a power in the
community. Hooker, the youngest of the eleven sons, was a resident of
Greenfield, an attorney, and held the offices of county treasurer
and clerk of the court frora 1815 until his death in 1842. This
family received the usual excellent New England social and re
ligious training, and also did their full share of the work of clear
ing the wilderness of the native forest and reducing to ashes the
magnificent growth of timber at the time on the soil. Recalling
these youthful experiences, a brother in Charleston, S, C, wrote
to the brother on the homestead in Heath, as follows : " I rejoice
in your prosperity and successful pursuit of agriculture on the soil
which gave the most of us birth, and all of us a happy subsistence,
our pleasures were many and great. The reflection is highly an
imating, but our labors and fatigues were extreme and excessive
and would strike a Carolinian with horror."
