D. Dickerman Copyright 1922 By G. S. Dickerman PREFACE TO THE EDITION OF 1922 Twenty-five years have passed since this story of the Descendants of Thomas Dickerman was put in print, and it is over fifty years since Albert Dickerman published his account of the Dickermans of Guil ford, New York. We are living now in a world that was not dreamed of, even twenty-five years ago. Home and family filled a larger place in common thought than they do to-day. People had not so many other things to think of and to stir their ambitions. Going back a step further to the early half of the last century, or to the colonial period, this devotion to the home was still more marked. Those who lived then were more interested in things close about them than we are. They did not have the daily papers to bring news of important events taking place in every land under the sun and to call out an instant opinion. They could not communicate in a moment with men a thousand miles away. It was not possible for them to start out on any given day and make a continuous journey around the world without missing a connection. Their horizon was narrowed down to the particular spot where they lived. How could they help making a good deal of their homes? Instead of spending their money in travel they used it for getting land. Instead of buying a motor-car they built a house. Instead of working in a manufactory or department-store they tilled the ground and lived on its products. So home and family were everything. It was the one open door to ambition. A mother of many sons and daughters once told this incident of her girlhood some hundred years ago : She and a group of com panions were going over together the last chapter of the book of Proverbs, picking out by number the verses that tallied with their birthdays ; her birthday happened to be on the 28th, and her verse, "Her children rise up and call her blessed ; her husband also, and he praiseth her," to which her response was, "What can be better than that?" Such a spirit was not unusual in those days. The ablest young men and the most beautiful maidens had it as their early ambition to own a home and to bring up sons and daughters who should return their devotion in lives with similar aims. PREFACE. We know the results. Our land has been occupied from these homes', over all those broad stretches from Atlantic to Pacific. In them character has been shaped into lasting lines of intelligence, thrift, conscience, and given the tone which makes the nation what it is. Who can belittle such a service or say that it is less grand than any other, however loud the applause another may enjoy? The old Hebrew prophet at Horeb was taught that thunder, lightning and tempest were not so mighty as a still small voice. It is so now. The stillness of a home is mightier than multitudes in passionate, noisy commotion. A genealogy, to all intents and purposes, is a record of homes and a memorial of the men and women who have made them. It proceeds on the assumption that those who have put their lives into such a work should be highly honored and their names kept in remem brance, especially by their own children and their children's children for generations to come. This was in mind at the first publication of this work. While my brother lived he was highly gratified, with me, in the cordial reception given to our united labors ; and since his death I have enjoyed the continued indications that the work is prized for reference in genealogical libraries. I find that it is usually spoken of as the "Dickerman Genealogy" and this title has been adopted in place of the former one for the new edition. The Supplement contains information that has been gathered from time to time in marginal notes; with some results of fresh research, particularly concerning the Ives, Gilbert, Tucker and Bradley fami lies. There is almost no limit to the additions that might be made. In the hope that individual owners of the book may be disposed to make additions of their own, a number of blank sheets are inserted after the Supplement for their accommodation. G. S. Dickerman.

Matthew Gilbert was among the original planters of the New Haven colony and was highly honored throughout his long life. He was one of the seven men who were chosen at the beginning to be founders of the new commonwealth, was a deacon of the church, an assistant magistrate and then deputy governor. He outlived most of the other leading men who came with him from England and died early in 1679. The solitary rude gravestone in the rear of the Center Church on the New Haven Green and bearing the letters "M G 80" are supposed to mark the spot where he was buried. His wife, "Jane," survived him till about 1706. His will, signed Jan. 14, 1679, and proved in the same year, names his wife, two sons, Matthew and Samuel, daughters, Mary Augur and Hannah Parker, and a grandchild, John Gilbert. His estate was appraised at £502 113 :n ; and the estate of Mrs. Jane (Baker) Gilbert was appraised Nov. 26, GILBERT FAMILIES. IS 1706, at £130:11 : 9. He seems to have been the earliest of the New Haven planters to own land in the neighborhood of Shep herd's Brook, where he had an allotment above the brook about 1764.

The parents of Hannah Brown were Eleazer and Sarah (Bulkeley) Brown. Eleazer was a brother of Ebenezer Brown. Sarah Bulkeley was a daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Jones) Bulkeley of Fairfield and a grand-daughter of Rev. Peter Bulkeley, the founder of Concord, Mass., and of Rev. John Jones, who was the assistant of Bulkeley until he removed to be the pastor at Fairfield. The Bulkeley Genealogy contains an interest ing record of the family of Peter Bulkeley for many generations, going back to the Norman Conquest. Sprague's Annals tells us that John Jones was the son of William Jones of Abergavenny, in Monmouthshire, and was educated at Jesus College, Oxford, where he entered in 1624, at the age of seventeen. This state ment, however, is questioned. The wife of Nathaniel Tuttle, Sr. was Esther Doolittle, daughter of John and Mary (Peck) Doolittle, of Cheshire, and grand-daughter of Abraham and Joane (Allen) Doolittle, and of 28 SUPPLEMENT.

In 1791, Dan went out to the frontier settlement at Whitestown, N. Y., BRADLEY FAMILIES. 43 and organized a church that called him to be their pastor. Accepting the call, he went back to Connecticut, where he was ordained at Mt. Carmel, and then returned with his wife and infant child to enter on his ministry. The following year Joel followed him out to the frontier and became pastor of the neighboring church at West Moreland. After three years with the church at Whitestown, Dan resigned and went some fifty miles further west, where he planted himself down to make a good farm and help build the new community of Marcellus. He applied himself diligently to the improvement of farm methods, became an authority in scientific agriculture, and made many con tributions to agricultural journals. The respect in which he was held is shown in that he was chosen Associate Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and afterward Chief Justice of the county.

The two young men had a great influence on one another and were kindred spirits in moral causes, such as the temperance reform and anti-slavery. It was a practical question with Henry as a store-keeper whether he ought to sell intoxicants. He decided that he ought not, and when it came to the ques tion of carrying out his decision, Dan was on hand to urge him on, and to lead off in smashing the casks of whiskey and pouring their contents on the ground, thus doing away with all temptation to continue the sale. As time went on, Dan's ardor looked to new and larger fields. The American Missionary Associ ation was organized on an anti-slavery basis, and under the direction of this society he went out as a pioneer medical missionary to Bangkok, Siam, where he accomplished a remarkable service, and reared a family who have worthily continued his beneficent influence.

BRADLEY FAMILIES. 47 P. 583. First line. Evidently Dr. Samuel Bradley was misinformed about Stephen Bradley who lived and died in Connecticut. The removal of so many of these Mt. Carmel Bradleys to Berkshire is to be explained by the part they bore in the French and Indian wars. The military rolls contain the names of Capt. Daniel Bradley and three of his sons, William, Jabez and Jesse, as among the troops who marched in 1757, for the relief of Fort William Henry. The frontier post was at Lanesborough, where they were probably quartered for a time. In moving to that rendezvous they must have gone through Stockbridge and Lee. In this way they became impressed with the attractive features of the country and had their minds turned to the promise it offered for settlers after the war. PREFACE. This work began in a few inquiries which were made about ten years since to correct an erroneous record in another family history. From that point the search has been led on step by step with ever fresh suggestions to its present scope. The quest has been one of continual surprises. It was supposed that the family was small, to be found in only a few localities, counting among its numbers not many persons of distinction, and having a story to tell of quiet faithfulness rather than of wide-reaching power. But following back to the origin, there have been discovered the sources of countless streams, some of which are seen to be flowing in broad and noble rivers. It is something, in an ordinary home, to know that one's parents, brothers and sisters are high-minded, strong and true. In such a thought there is incentive to a worthier life. And is it not something to know of the more attenuated family bonds which reach to many generations — to be conscious of our kinship with those who have borne their part as builders of society and of the nation — to recognize as of our own household multi tudes who are to-day engaged in forceful activities on a thousand fields over the world ? A grouping of facts is fruitful in questions, and the facts here gathered may set us to thinking in many lines. How shall we account for what we find how account for people, why they are those we see and not others unlike them ? The force of heredity is evident : its watermark is on every page. But a thoughtful reader will see other things also working with heredity the habits of the home, tradition, principles of conduct and training, that play ever around the life to give it a particular phase, a dis tinct individuality. There are lessons, too, of the larger environment in the community and state. Some of these are almost startling. Rough houses in new set tlements are fullest of children, while family life in older abodes often dwindles and verges toward extinction. Out of the rough homes, also, come many a strong personality, while those who have had unusual advan tages do not always show corresponding achievements. There is much yet IV PREFACE. to be learned concerning modes of life and the things which determine character. Among our serious problems are those of the home and family. May not a glance at these many households, living under a variety of con ditions, throw a little light, at least, on some of these problems ? The accounts here given of different families vary in fullness. This is not of choice but of necessity. In many cases ample records were easily obtainable — while in others the most painstaking effort has proved unavail ing. To the large number who have promptly responded to inquiries and given their personal interest to the work, grateful acknowledgments are hereby rendered. Especial thanks are due to some who are not of Dicker- man lineage : among these are Rev. W. L. Chaffin of North Easton, Mass. and Hon. Newton Talbot of Boston, whose aid has been invaluable in pre paring the Stoughton branch. The researches in libraries and archives, with most of the strictly liter ary and editorial labor, have been performed by my brother, Rev. G. S. Dickerman, whose ready assistance has greatly lightened the long task which is now brought to its completion. New Haven, Connecticut. March 4, 1897. CONTENTS. CHAPTER I. Colonial Beginnings.

At the head of each section, into which the chapters are divided, stand the names of parents whose children follow, usually with grandchildren for two or more generations, arranged in different type and with a different style of num ber for each generation. The father's surname is usually omitted after the leading paragraph, but other surnames are given. The omissions are to be supplied from the heading. The index figure indicates the generation of the person, counting from the first settler Thomas' Dickerman. This figure follows the Christian name — thus making more clear where the surname is to be supplied. Names of children in one section which stand as parental names at the head of another section are in small capitals, and are followed at the end of the line by the section number in parenthesis. The sections are not always in numerical order, and it may be convenient sometimes to consult the index, in looking for them.

" A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation." Isaiah, Ix. 22. The planting of New England took place within a period of twenty years. It began with the settlement at Plymouth in 1620, and ended in 1640, when the meeting of the Long Parliament stopped the tyrannies of Strafford and gave to Englishmen hopes of a better government without crossing seas to find it. For eight years Plymouth colony was alone, meeting hardships, testing new conditions, and developing a community on the ideas and convictions that brought the Pilgrims hither. At the end of this time they numbered only three hundred, but they had solved the problem and the way was open for other colonies. In 1628 Endicott came with three hundred to Salem. By 1630 the several places about Boston were occupied, Charlestown, Dorchester, Watertown, Roxbury, Medford and Weymouth. In 1634-5 settlers pressed into the interior, to the Connecticut valley, and established themselves at Windsor, Wethersfield and Hart ford. A year later, Roger Williams, with an independence too radical even for the Puritans, was sent out of Massachusetts and began the colony at Providence ; and in 1637 pioneers wintered in New Haven. Within ten or eleven years two hundred ships crossed the Atlantic and twenty thousand Englishmen forsook their old homes to make new ones in the wilderness. They were a choice stock. No other would have dared what they did. Most of them had been accustomed to material com fort ; not a few to luxury. Among them were owners of large estates, shrewd merchants, able lawyers, learned and eloquent ministers, attractive teachers, scholars of high rank at Oxford and Cambridge ; while the rest were mostly thrifty farmers, with here and there a skilled artisan. Pioneers are usually men of force. These were ; but with other rarer qualities added. They had beliefs, and these so woven into 2 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. their texture as to command them. They came with a moral pur pose and with no thought of going back — not as bands of adven turous men eager for exploits, or fame, or gold — but bringing their wives too, their boys and girls, helpless babes, and house hold treasures, to plant themselves permanently in the unknown land. This made the New England settlements wholly unlike those of Canada, the West Indies or South America. Those started with men. These started with families. Those yielded not a little to the barbarism they found. These kept their civiliza tion and made it virile. They were great as progenitors. It was the greatness of the Hebrew patriarchs. Their intelligence, love of freedom and fidelity to conviction would have been short lived but for the vigorous family life that prevailed. They per petuated themselves in children. The children married, blending diverse social elements, and transmitting commingled traits to a multiplying people. The twenty thousand became millions, keep ing still the forceful character of the first colonists, but unfolding it in expressions infinitely varied. In the sister colonies many of the conditions were similar. Sires of noble lineage in Virginia made the homes out of which came in due time Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Marshall, and their great associates. Penn and his Quakers gave to Penn sylvania its character of thrift and stability. The Dutch planted themselves in New York, and there came to the Carolinas Scotch- Irish, French Huguenots and Protestants of other nationalities, led thither by the spirit of freedom and the purpose to rear their children in the fear of God. These were the seed widely scattered that were to grow together into a new and strong nation. The first permanent settlement in the neighborhood of Boston was that of Dorchester. The colonists, one hundred and forty in number, gathered with no little care from Devon, Dorset and Somersetshire, in England, had among them two magistrates and a church already organized with two ministers. The Sunday after landing, June 6, 1630, services of gratitude and praise were held under the open sky and the community was formally inaugurated. Four or five years later there was a movement to plant a colony in the fertile valley of the Connecticut, which resulted in the removal of most of the Dorchester people, with their minister, Rev. John Warham, to Windsor. At the same time many ships COLONIAL BEGINNINGS. 3 were arriving with fresh immigrants from England, and a ready sale was found for the improvements they had made. Of the new settlers the most important was a company who came in 1635 with Rev. Richard Mather from Bristol, in the ship "James." Mr. Mather was chosen minister of the settlement ; and the changes had been so great that a newly organized church was instituted under an especially prepared covenant, which reads as follows : " Dorchester, the 23* day of the ) 6"1 moneth, Anno. 1636. ) Wee whose names are subscribed being called of God to joyne o'selves together in Church Comunion, fron or hearts acknowledging or disability to keepe coven' w'h God or to p'fourme any spirituall duty Vf°h hee calleth us unto, unlesse the Lord Jesus do enable us thereunto by his spirit dwelling in us. Doe in the name of Cht Jesus or Lord and in trust and confidence of his free grace assisting us freely Coven' & bind ourselves solemnly in the presence of God himselfe, his holy Angells and all his servants here present that wee will by his grace assisting us endevour constantly to walke togeather as a right ordered Congregacon of Cht. according to all the holy rules of a church-body rightly established, so farre as wee do already know it to bee o' duty or shall further und'stand it out of Gods holy word : Promising first & above all to cleave unto him as or chiefe & onely good . and to o' Lord Jesus Cht as or onely spirituall husband and Lord, & or onely high priest & Prophet and King. And for the furthering of us to keepe this blessed Comunion wth God and w'h his sonne Jesus Cht and to grow up more fully therein, wee do likewise promise by his grace assisting us, to endevour the establishing amongst o'selves of all his holy ordinances wch hee hath appointed for his churches here on earth, and to observe all and every of them in such sort as shall be most agreeable to his will ; opposing to the utmost of or power, whatsoever is contrary thereunto, & bewayling fro or hearts or owne neglect thereof in former tyme, and our pollut ing o'selves therein wth any sinfull inventions of men. And lastly wee do hereby Coven' & p'mise to further to or utmost power, the best spirituall good of each other, and of all and every one that may become members of this Congregacon, by mutuall Instruction reprehension, exhortacon, consolacon, and spirituall watchfulnes over one another for good ; and to bee subject in and for the Lord to all the Administracons and Censures of the Con gregacon, so farre as the same shall bee guided according to the rules of Gods most holy word. Of the integrity of or heartes herein wee call God the searcher of all hearts to witnesse ; beseeching him so to blesse us in this and all or Enterprises, as wee shall sincerely endevour by the assistance of his grace to observe this holy Coven' and all the braunches of it inviolably forever ; and where wee shall fayle there to wayte upon the Lord Jesus for pardon and for acceptance and healing for his names sake." The name of Thomas Dickerman first appears in the annals of Dorchester on the roll of the church and among the earliest sub- 4 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. scribers to this covenant. It seems likely that he was of Mr. Mather's company and came with him from England. This is not proved, however ; nor do we find any traces of his previous history. The records of that period have been diligently searched, both in this country and in England, but without success. The name, taken by itself, would seem to indicate a German origin, being compounded of the two words bid* or bicfev and matin, meaning stout man. It belongs, also, to many German families at the present time ; and several representatives of these families have been among the recent immigrants from that country to America. This suggestion offers a wide scope for fancy. Our ancestor may have been in the great struggles for religious freedom on the continent before he joined the Puritans. Possibly he fled from oppressions there in the hope of finding a freer air in Protestant England ; and, disappointed in this, united his fortunes to those who were looking to lands beyond the seas. In this uncertainty, a single fact seems to give us a glimpse into the heart of the man. It is the name he gave his son, born not long before he sailed. That name was taken from the earliest adventurer for conscience sake who left his fatherland and " went out not knowing whither he went." One can hardly suppose that this child, at such a crisis in the family life, was called "Abraham " without thought of what the name stood for. Rather it is to be taken as the sign that his parents adopted for themselves the motives and purpose of the patriarch. We may infer a like religious meaning in the baptismal names of their later children "Isaac" and "John." They had by heart the Genesis tale of Isaac — that long promise fulfilled, the sacrifice at Moriah, choosing Rebecca, digging the Philistine's wells, and winning peace. They knew of John — fisherman, aspirant for a right hand place, beloved disciple, evangelist and revelator. In giving their boys these names they had reasons. Parents in 1635 did not go over the Atlantic and put their families in cabins among Indians and wolves for a conviction, and then do such things as this without meaning. We know it was a habit throughout New England to give to children Bible names. But do the names lose their rich sugges- tiveness on this account? Is it not truer to recognize in them the unfolding flower of a loving familiarity with Scripture story which everywhere prevailed ? COLONIAL BEGINNINGS. 5 The new settlers in Dorchester were soon as much at home there as those who had been longer on the ground. The country was new and wild, but not so wild as it had been. Energy and thrift showed their effects. Better houses were built, streams were bridged, roads opened, fences made and more land brought under cultivation. At first the lands were obtained of the town for the asking. But it was not long before they began to have market value. One of the earliest entries in the records reads, " It is generally agreed that whosoever doth not mowe his owne lott shall not sell it to any for above Two pence an acre." But in October, 1636, " It is ordered euery p'ticular inhabitant shall take a viewe of his house and gar den and hoame lotts how they lye bounded (towardes other mens, or towardes the commons) according to the poynts of the compasse, and so of their great lotts and medow ground as they lay bounded euery way, and the number of acres of all such lands." And a few months later, January 16, " It is ordered that whosoeuer breaketh open any pale shall pay fiue shillings and that all the hoame lotts be sufficiently paled by the first of March. It is ordered that all the land both of the great necke and about the Towne and of both sides the Riuer of Naponsett which is not already allotted out shall be deuided into p'priety to each hoame lott according to p'portion agreed upon." Now come two entries relating to Thomas Dickerman as fol lows : January, 1637.

Dorchester is said to have been the first community known, to make public provision for a free school by direct tax on the inhabitants. " It is ordered the 20th of May 1639, that " there shalbe a rent of 20" yeerely for- eu' imposed vpon Tomsons Hand to bee payd p' euy p'son that hath p'prtie in the said Hand according to the p'portion that any such p'son shall fro tyme to tyme injoy and posesse there, and this towards the mayntenance of a schoole in Dorchest' this rent of 20" yeerly to bee payd to such a schoolemaster as shall vndertake to teach english latin and oth' tongues and also writing the sayd schoolemaster to bee chosen fro tyme to tyme p' the freemen and that is left to the discretion of the elders and the 7 men for the tyme beeing whether maydes shalbe taught with the boyes or not." After a short trial it was found that collecting so many rents was difficult and it was thought best to have the land conveyed to the town, " Whereas the Inhabitants of Dorchester haue formerly ordered. Consented and agreed that a Rente of Twentie pound p' ann. shall issue & be payd by the sayd Inhabitants & their heires from & out of a Certaine porcon of land in Dor chester called Tomsons Hand for & towards the maintenance of a schoole in Dorchester aforsayd.

There is a note about Isaac written later, " Removed to Connecticut ;" but this is doubtless an error, confusing him with his brother Abraham. There is also a mention of Sarah Dickerman in a list of "young Maids in Dorchester" in 1676, and her age is given as 20. She was probably the daughter of Thomas Dickerman, of Maiden, born Oct., 1653, and her enroll ment with the Dorchester maids may have occurred while on a visit. In the records of Dorchester births, marriages and deaths are the following : " Isaac, the son of Thomas Dickerman & his wife was Born (9th) 1637. (Dec, 1637.)

Ill pp. 110-111" From these papers it appears that Thomas Dickerman was a tailor and that he also cultivated a farm. He had a homestead in Dorchester where he owned land as early as 1636, to which an addition was made in 1637. He also owned a house and land in Boston Neck where he began to acquire property as early as 1652, to which he added in 1656. This constituted the more valuable part of his estate, and was appraised at 150^ ($726.00), while the farm and buildings at Dorchester were set down at 47^ ($221.60), and the entire property at 235^ 11. 04. ($1130.72). Both of these places were within the limits of what is now Boston. The home stead was on the west side of the highway just before it crossed Roxbury brook, the boundary between Dorchester and Roxbury, ground now lying on Dudley street between North avenue and Brook avenue. The place in the Neck was on the south side of Summer street near the present junction of Bedford street. What use was made of this Boston property we can only guess. Quite likely the tailoring house was here. The additional land he bought of Bartholomew Barnard less than a year before his death, which indicates plans that he did not live to carry out. We should like to see those books, the first item in the Inven tory, valued at z£. 03. ($10.30) ; not a large library, we may think ; COLONIAL BEGINNINGS. 1 3 but holding a high place in a house where all the rest of the furni ture was appraised at less than $100.00. In how many houses to-day would the books be appraised at a tenth of all the furni ture ? Boston people had not yet gone into the publishing busi ness and there was no occasion for international copyright. Every printed page had to be brought from the other side of the sea. But already the habit of " plain living and high thinking " was in some of these cabins, and books were as essential as daily bread. Two years after Thomas Dickerman's death, Sep. 10, 1659, his widow, Mrs. Ellen Dickerman, bought of the other heirs their rights in the Dorchester homestead. John had died before this time, Isaac had recently come of age, and Abraham was married. Of Abraham we know that he removed at once with his wife to New Haven, and we have a full narrative of his life there. There are no vestiges of Isaac, after this for sixty years, till in 1720 his name appears in the Boston records. There is some uncertainty about the connection of Thomas Dickerman of Maiden with this family. No documents identify him with them ; and yet there is hardly room for a doubt that he was the elder son of Thomas of Dorchester. The name was too unusual, not only in the colonies, but in England, to think of the two being of different families. And there was the Boston property, so much the larger part of the estate — how can we better account for its disposal than by assum ing that it went into the hands of the two brothers Thomas and Isaac, and that Isaac continued to live in Boston till we find him and his son there long afterwards ? Thomas Dickerman, Jr., is identified with Maiden, where he lived and reared his family. A deposition taken in 1658 speaks of him as "aged about 35." This fixes his birth at about 1623 ; and, on the arrival of the family in New England, he was proba bly about twelve years old — old enough to be useful, and perhaps to earn his own living. This will account for the absence of all reference to him in the Dorchester records. CHART I. OUTLINE OF THE EARLY FAMILY. - Thomas, 1623-1690 Maiden.

HOMES AT DORCHESTER, MALDEN, READING AND MILTON. " From our own selves our joys must flow, And that dear hut, — our home." " The Fireside]' Nathaniel Cotton. The home in Dorchester is to be sketched in our fancy as a rude cabin. It was made before a sawmill had been started, when the pioneer had to fell the trees and hew them into shape with his axe, to form the best four walls and roof that ingenuity could devise. This cabin had "a lower room," and "another room," the inven tory says, where the " beds " were : and what quarters there may have been besides we can only imagine. One can see the fire-place in the main room, with broad hearth, "andirons," crane and "hooks" and cooking utensils. Nearby is the " spinning wheel " with its load of " flax : " at one side the "table : " over it, perhaps, shelves with their treasure of "books : " the "sword" on its "belt" in a corner : the "green rug" partly covers the floor : the " pewter plates " and "cup" are ranged, no doubt, upon the chimney-piece, and the "hour-glass" at one end with its steadily flowing sands. A little way from the house is the "barn," ruder still, but giving shelter for the cattle : and around is a tract of ground under cultivation, an attractive feature of which is the young "orchard." How could life be simpler than here ? " But in houses like this were to be found an independence and serenity of spirit unknown to courts and palaces : a quiet happiness that many who lived in splendor might have envied. In such a cabin our family had its origin in America. Here for twenty years the father and mother lived and worked and trained their children: and here the father fell ill and died, little dream ing what his children's children of coming generations would do in this vast region, on whose edge he had watched for lurking Indians and prowling beasts of prey. l6 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. It seems strange that this homestead was so soon allowed to go out of the family. But the sons of pioneers often have an ambi tion to repeat the adventures of their parents and to advance another step into the new lands of promise. The oldest son seems to have shown this spirit as he came to manhood, and early established himself at Maiden, where he brought up his family in turn and lived for about forty years. But after his death this house, too, passed out of the family. The daughter Mary remained in the neighborhood unmarried and seems to have enjoyed a happy old age among life-long friends. Her sister, Elizabeth, married a leading citizen of Milton, which took her to the vicinity of the old Dorchester home. The son John took up his abode at Reading, where his children were born and reared. But after living there some twenty-five years or more and with age creeping on, attractions of some kind, perhaps to be near his sister now living in Roxbury, led him also to the vicinity of the old homestead, and he spent his last years at Milton. His son, John Dickerman, Jr., did not remain long in Reading after his father's removal. But instead of returning to old settle ments, he, with a young man's ambition and enterprise, struck out into the region of Stoughton to help build a new community there. Over eighty years had passed since Thomas Dickerman landed in America, and as yet the family in Massachusetts numbered but few. It was different in New Haven, whither the second son had gone. But here we find only two or three households to represent the oldest son, and only one for the youngest son, Isaac. The beginning had been slow. The following tables present the family in orderly arrangement. at dorchester and malden. 17 Thomas1 Dickerman=Ellen . I. Thomas1 Dickerman. The time and place of his birth and marriage are unknown, also his parentage and that of his wife Ellen. They came to Dorchester, Mass., about 1635 or 1636, and he died there June 11, 1657.

Concerning three of this family, the records make no further men tion after their birth ; and of the rest probably none but John left children. Mary's will speaks of Elizabeth and John only ; and tells us that Elizabeth, in her will, had named no others. This indicates that they were the only survivors. The will is as follows : " In the Name of God Amen this Twenty ninth day of October Anno Domini One thousand Seven hundred thirty & three, Annoq : Regni Regis Georgii secundi : Magne Britannia &c Septimo.

" In blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars." Genesis, xxii. 17. In John Eliot's times there was a place about eighteen miles south of Boston known as Punkapoag, meaning "a spring that bubbles up from the red soil." Here "the apostle" had a village of " praying Indians." Years afterwards the name was changed, and it was called after the Lieutenant Governor of the colony, who was William Stoughton. Under this name was embraced a terri tory which has since been divided into many towns. The parti cular part concerned in this narrative is now in the town of Canton, which was detached from Stoughton and incorporated by itself February 23, 1797. John4 Dickerman's name first appears in Stoughton annals on the roll of the church; to which he was received June 22, 17 18, about a year after the church was organized. He bought a farm and made this his permanent home. Some of his descendants, bearing the name, have continued to live there till the present time, and hundreds have gone to make other homes in all parts of the country. John* Dickerman=Mary Tucker. 6.

He was a deacon of the church, and one of the four who bought the Blue Hill lands in 171 1. His children were Ebenezer, Manasseh, Samuel, Waitstill, Mary, Elizabeth, Jaazaniah, and Benjamin, names that reappear in the family of Mary. 24 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. I. John5, b.

Charles Dickerman8 Sr. was a deacon of the Congregational church at Braintree. At the time of his death, the pastor, Rev. R. S. Storrs, D.D., gave the following testimonial to his excel lences : An Israelite indeed, in whom there was no guile, faithful in all his house, full of good works and almsdeeds, always ready to the charge of duty, however self- denying ; affectionate in his disposition ; gentle in his conversation, firm in his attachment to all that is good, and in opposition to whatever is evil ; a pattern in all things to his brethren in the church ; an unfailing friend of his pastor, and all true ministers of Christ ; and spiritually minded beyond many of his equals. A long protracted sickness was endured with singular patience, and death was met as a welcome friend, with the last words on his lips, " Heaven is near, I desire to depart and be with Christ." Irreparable is the loss to his family and the church ; but infinite gain to his ransomed spirit. Ezekiel Johnson= Louisa8 Dickerman. 23.

Feb. 14, 1833, d. April 2, 1834, at Worcester. Mrs. Hannah P.8 D. Smith has assisted in preparing the record of her father's family and, at the age of eighty-four, has manifested great interest in these historical researches. She says, " I have found in an old book the list of fifty-four persons who attended the singing school of William Billings in Stoughton in 1774. Among them are John, Jerusha, and Elizabeth Dickerman. I sup pose they were my great uncle and aunts. Mr. Billings was a composer of music as well as a teacher. He with some of his pupils formed the Stoughton Musical Society, Nov. 7, 1786, which is now in existence and known as the 'Old Stoughton Club.' The Handel and Haydn Society came from this old society. You will find a good deal of music in the Dickerman family." Lewis Bradley8 Russell was in business at Waltham, Mass., for a number of years, till in 1863 he established himself at Lynn and became an active and influential citizen there, being honored with many positions of esteem and confidence. He was treasurer of The Russell Counter Company of Woburn and of The Chatta nooga Land Company. He was one of the first directors of The Equitable Cooperative Bank of Lynn, and his associate directors gave this testimonial, " that during fourteen years they found him a valued friend and counsellor, and one to whose good judgment and wise foresight the Bank owed much of its prosperity." He was a member of the Masonic fraternity at Lynn and at Boston. He was identified with the Central Congregational Church and was serving on its Parish and Building Committees at the time of his death, when the following Resolution was passed : " That in his relations with us he always maintained the character of a Christian gentleman, active in good works, earnest for the success of the principles he professed and thoroughly loyal to the Church and Society, of which he was for many years a faithful member AT STOUGHTON. 33 and trusted officer." An obituary in the press says of him that " he was retiring in disposition but of a nature full of good humor and fellowship, endearing him to countless friends." Waldo Bradley'" Russell was a young man of promise, an active member of the church and of the various societies connected with it. Those who had business relations with him found him upright, gentlemanly and winning in his traits. A loyal friend, a dutiful son and brother, he left a large circle of friends to mourn his loss. His last words were, " All is right, I have Christ in me, the hope of glory." Nehemiah7 Dickerman=Ruth Clark. 14.

Gorham Abbott was the pastor. They made their home eminently Christian and the spirituality which prevailed there bore choice fruit in their children. Some sixty years ago The Memoir of Nathan W. Dickerman was one of the most popular and attractive books in Sunday School libraries. The sweet child's face, which looked out from among his pillows in the frontispiece, was the winsome introduction to a story of loving faith which seemed all too short, as it recalled the Savior's words, " For of such is the kingdom of heaven." Persons who knew the family speak of the younger daughter Rebecca, who married Rev. J. B. Johnson, as also a person of unusually strong and beautiful character, beloved and admired by those who knew her. Who can tell what they might have accomplished if they had lived longer ? One only survived to a ripe age, and illustrated in full measure that highest product of human life, a symmetrical character, the out growth of choice inherited traits unfolding in the congenial atmosphere of a Christian home. More will be said of this elder daughter in connection with the following family. Shelton P. Sanford = Maria F.8 Dickerman. 26.

An attractive Memoir of Mrs. Sanford has been put in print and describes her as a beautiful and gifted woman. She was educated by Rev. Jacob Abbott at the Mount Vernon school in Boston. For seven or eight years she was a pupil of Dr. Lowell Mason, the musical composer, with whom she was a favorite, not only for her musical ability but on account of her amiable temper and uniform good nature. She was a member of the Bowdoin Street Congregational church in early life, but afterward, through change of conviction, became a member of the Baptist church to which her husband belonged. Owing to a delicate constitution her health began to fail and her physician advised her to try the virtue of a southern climate. At the same time an invitation was extended her to teach music in a large school for young ladies at Madison, Ga. The proposal was accepted. The change of climate restored her health ; and for about three years, from 1837 to 1840, she was associated with Pro fessors Chase and Pierce, first at Madison, and afterward at Pen- field, Ga. The thorough knowledge she possessed of the science of music, her love of the art, her ability to execute, and her readi ness to assist others in their struggle to learn, made her a most valuable assistant. While living at Penfield she became acquainted with Prof. Sanford of Mercer University, and this acquaintance led to their marriage ; after which she ceased teaching, but still continued a member of the choir. She also taught in the Sunday School, of which her husband was the Superintendent, and continued this work for many years after her removal to Macon. Prof. Sanford was not only a Professor in Mercer University, but an educator whose influence extended widely over the country, as his mathe matical text books were used in hundreds of schools. To him she was a true helpmate, sympathizing with him, counselling him, 38 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. and encouraging him in all his work. Her house was always the hospitable home for the Trustees of the University, or for strangers attending the Commencements. During the civil war, while her only son and her son-in-law were with General Lee in the army of Northern Virginia, she was one of those who met almost every evening to pray for the soldiers. Home was the sphere where her virtues shone most con spicuously. Modesty, fortitude, punctuality, neatness, regularity, uncommon energy and perseverance marked her character. She uniformly made lasting friends, who, scattered over Georgia and other states, remember her with affection and gratitude. The Trustees of Mercer paid their tribute to her worth in these words: "While he (Prof. Sanford) has been connected with this institution for more than fifty years, and has contributed as much as any other one man, perhaps, to its present high distinction, we do not forget that she, too, has been connected with it, intimately, as long, and that during this half century of the University's existence, it has had no warmer or more steadfast friend and helper. She has most hospitably entertained its guests for a life time — has witnessed its struggles from its infancy until now — has been a helper indeed to her husband, in the high national distinc tion he has attained as an author, and is worthy, thus, to have her name embalmed in the records of the University. She stands as Mercer's mother friend .... and it will never be known how much these devout women have done, in moulding the char acters of the hundreds of young men who have been brought under their influence."

A Boston paper of Jan. 13, 1892, gives an interesting report of a meeting of Brimmer School graduates, from which the following passages are taken : " ' Live for one hour our youth again ; Give back our childhood's joys ; Renew, old time, thy early reign, For these few gray-haired boys.' An even hundred Brimmer school graduates, covering a period of over half a century, dined together at Young's last night, at the 15th annual banquet of the school association, which was organized upon the retirement of the late lamented master of the school, Mr. Joshua Bates, and is the oldest grammar school asso ciation in Boston. AT STOUGHTON. 4 1 Winter and spring sat elbow to elbow, the old boys looking serene, comfort able and prosperous, uttering words of wisdom for the benefit of youth. The lat ter listened with respectful attention, and joined with the enthusiasm of early manhood in the merriment aroused by reminiscences of the early graduates, which proved the one touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. Letters conveying good wishes were received from Governor Russell, Mr. Charles Prescott, the first president of the association, and Mr. Charles Furnald, class of '51, now United States consul at Hilo, Sandwich Islands. Mr. Dickerman, master of the school, gave some account of the school's present condition. He cordially invited the old boys to visit the school oftener, and thought their presence, occasionally, would benefit the school. They would be warmly welcomed on the afternoons preceding Washington's birthday and Memorial day, visitation day and May graduation day." Henry A.8 Dickerman= Minnie L. Dillingham. 28.

A teacher by nature and profes sion. Most of her teaching was in Stoughton and vicinity, to be near her parents. After their death she taught in Somerville, residing with her sister, Mrs. Stevens, at Randolph. A half century or more ago a leading industry in Massachusetts was boot and shoe making. Nearly every farm-house had a shop in the door yard, or some attic room in the house, fitted up for the purpose. The eight children in this family worked on boot mak ing more or less, when not at school, or working on the farm, or at house work. Each of them, after leaving the public schools, attended academy or private school, away from home. Jonathan, Edwin and Maria studied at Milton ; Edwin, Winslow, Mary, Amory and Dean Forbes, studied at New Hampton, or at Han cock, N. H. They all taught school — in Stoughton, Sharon, Ran dolph, Bridgewater, Easton, Milford, Milton, Dorchester, Rox bury, Charlestown, Somerville or Boston — in the aggregate over one hundred years. In the old school district, No. 5, Stoughton, there were four families, on one side of the street, within a distance of half a mile, having twenty-five children, twenty-two of whom were school teachers. The family have been Unitarians or Universal ists in creed ; in politics anti-slavery, free-soilers, and Republicans. They have tried to instruct and aid men, women and children. 44 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. Jonathan8 Battles Jr. taught school nearly a quarter of a century, mostly in Boston. " His life was one of constant activity. He was amiable, uniformly kind to all, and of unblemished integrity ; seldom sick or disabled till two years before his death, when he was stricken with paralysis and rendered helpless. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a faithful friend, an esteemed and respected neighbor and citizen, and an earnest anti-slavery man when the cross was heavy to wear." Winslow8 Battles taught some eighteen years — at Stoughton, Dorchester, and Boston (Mayhew School). He was distinguished for his interest in vocal music, as connected with public worship ; was a member of the Randolph Choral Society, and President of the Old Stoughton Musical Society from 1873 to 1888, Chairman of School Board, and Massachusetts State Senator for two terms, an advocate of prohibitory legislation, and a power in politics. He was a ready debater, a pleasing speaker and a graceful presid ing officer. The Christian graces shone in his character and he was beloved and honored by hosts of friends. Amory" Battles was educated at Colby University and Harvard Divinity School, ordained Jan. 1, 185 1, to the pastorate of the Universalist church in Bangor, which he held till March 1, 1872, when he resigned. He preached one year in West Newton, Mass., about four years in Orono, Me., two years in Waterville and six years in Dexter, retaining his residence in Bangor till his death. " He was earnest, able and eloquent, an active, devoted, untiring pastor, a pleasant, genial, whole-souled neighbor and friend, a man of the strictest uprightness and straightforwardness. In time of peace an unswerving advocate of temperance, morality and free dom, and in war devoting himself to the eloquent advocacy of the Union, helping to fill the ranks of the armies and doing yeoman's work for the support of the Sanitary and Christian Commissions. Had he written his own epitaph he could not have struck it nearer than in the line from Leigh Hunt, ' Write me as one who loved his fellow-man.' " Edwin8 Battles=Josephine Curtis. 32.

In 1858 he was the successful advocate of a free public library open to all, as against a stock library company. At the opening of the war in 1861 he was efficient on committees to aid in fitting out soldiers, to look after their fami lies and care for the wounded on their return. In 1878 he became financial agent of " The Mass. Children's Protective Society," and when in 1880 this was merged in " The Mass. Soc. for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Children," he was continued in the same office, which he still holds, in 1892, of which he writes : "We have on our books between 12,000 and 13,000 unfortunate families or parts of families, involving over 40,000 children." 46 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS.

Dec. 10, 1874, Mason City, Iowa, d. Oct. 19, 1888 in Elsinore, Cal. Wyatt7 Dickerman, the father, married at eighteen and followed the trade of a bootmaker. He was industrious, temperate and an excellent workman ; paid for his farm by his trade, and was pros- AT STOUGHTON. 47 perous for a mechanic and farmer of those days. He was noted for strict integrity, ingenuity and musical ability. He invented a new method of setting scions in grafting fruit trees that was more expeditious than the old way and so sure, that he was ready to warrant ninety-nine out of every hundred to grow. Until after middle age he had used tobacco and liquor temperately at home, but left off the use of both on account of the example to his chil dren, whom he advised to use neither. His oldest son Wyatt8, after some school teaching, pursued the art of a portrait painter, but after the introduction of daguerreo types turned his attention to interior decoration and carriage painting. George Henry8 Dickerman, after teaching school, working in a boot manufactory and in a nursery, started the manufacture of paper boxes and collars in Boston. By great skill, ingenuity, integrity and business tact he has acquired a good reputation and wealth. Enos Talbot8 Dickerman had good artistic abilities and unusual inventive and mathematical talent. After some teaching, he became a civil engineer and made rapid advancement till he was second in rank of the engineers engaged in surveying the New York and Erie railroad, when he died at the age of twenty-two. Albert8 began life as a lawyer, in his native town of Stoughton, which he continued for ten years, serving one term in the legisla ture. After marriage he settled in Boston, and in a few years retired from active practice of the law to devote himself to land scape painting and mechanical pursuits, being about equally fond of both. Wyatt8, George8, Enos8, Mary8, Albert8 and Juliet8, all were school teachers in early life ; and of their next neighbor's family, their cousins, nine of the children were teachers, several of them continuing it as a life-work. The foregoing account is given by Mr. Albert8 Dickerman, who adds : " I have been careful not to overdraw. I wish, however, that every work of genealogy could be comprehensive enough to give peculiarities and successes of the individuals, that we might know more of our relatives and ancestors, and hand down to our successors something more than names and dates." Mr. Dicker- man's home in Boston is full of choice works of art from his own brush and chisel, and illustrates in its adornments his love of the delicate and beautiful. 48 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. The following concerning Mrs. Mary8 Stewart is condensed from the Appleton, Wisconsin, Post, of January 19, 1892 : " Mary J. Dickerman came to Waukesha to live with her sister. She was accomplished in French, German and Music, and, having taught before in Massachusetts, became a teacher here in the " Union " school and afterward in the " Academy," where her special work was training teachers. After her marriage she taught in Manitowoc, Grand Rapids and Berlin, as well as at Waukesha. She acted for three months as county superintendent of Waukesha and was afterward appointed visitor to the Plattville Normal School. She was a member of the Congregational church for nearly twenty-five years, and made lasting friends in all the positions she was called to fill. Transparently honest, brave and just, though retiring and reticent, she was loving, kind and faithful to duty." IIT . „ ( Elvira A. Estabrook. Wyatt8 Dickerman= j AmGAIL T Reed_ 33.

AT STOUGHTON. 5 1 Mr. Edwin8 Battles, the nephew of Mrs. Guild, writes as follows : " My uncle and aunt Guild were most excellent people. They were married by Rev. Calvin Park, who preached in Stoughton, and were members of his church, and their son Calvin was named after him. The last time I visited my aunt was in the summer before she passed away. I said to her, How do you feel in regard to passing away ? She said, ' Sometimes I feel that I shall not be accepted.' I replied at once, ' Aunt Polly, one who has lived such a life as you have cannot be rejected.' I am pleased here to say this of her." CHAPTER IV. DR. LEMUEL6 DICKERMAN OF BRATTLEBORO. " But on and up, where nature's heart Beats strong amid the hills." — Richard Monckton Milnes. For nearly a hundred and fifty years after the earliest settle ments, little progress was made towards occupying north-western New England. The towns of the Connecticut valley from Hadley to Northfield were the white man's outposts ; and these were so threatened and harried by Indians as to make life a continual ter ror. It was not safe to venture many miles from a village unpro tected, and none thought of going into the forests to clear the ground and make a home. To do so would have courted pillage and massacre. But little by little the wily foe was brought to terms or driven back, till, with the close of the French and Indian war in 1760, the whole region became habitable and open to occupation. It had not long to wait. The enterprising and adventurous were soon flocking thither from all the older communities. Brattleboro on the river, and only a little way above Northfield, was like a kind of gateway to all the upper valley between the mountains of New Hampshire and those of Vermont, and became an attractive center. The movement to these new regions was largely from Connecti cut. We see this in the names of many towns, as well as in the names of the people. This is explained by the greater ease of travel along the streams and up the valleys from south to north ; so that one could reach western Massachusetts and Vermont much more readily from Hartford or the towns upon the Sound than from the neighborhood of Boston. So it came to pass that there were some of the New Haven Dickermans in Brattleboro very early — probably before 1764. We shall recur to this again in our narrative of Abraham Dickerman's family. AT BRATTLEBORO. 53 But here our interest centers on a vigorous young man who left his home in Stoughton, and made the hard journey across the country, and over the hills, to the same objective point. The His tory of Brattleboro tells us that " Lemuel Dickerman when a boy was a bound apprentice to learn shoemaking in Massachusetts, but left his employer and traveled on foot to Brattleboro." Here he obtained employment on the farm of Dr. Henry Wells, a man of large estate, and of no little eminence as a physician. From him, it is said that Dr. Dickerman learned his profession, and " became so accomplished that he assisted him in practice, until so many patients preferred the young doctor, that the old one sold out and went to Montague, Mass." Enough other reasons are to be found for Dr. Wells' change. His going to Montague gave him advantages that he did not have at Brattleboro, and he used these so well as to attain distinction even in Boston and Albany, whither he was sometimes called for consultation. "Dr. Dickerman was the second established physician in Brat tleboro and the longest in practice. With but one exception, no physician in the place has lived so many years, and few, if any, have had a more successful career. He was a good manager ; attending faithfully to a wide practice and, at the same time, car rying on successfully a large farm, situated at East Village, about three miles north-west of Brattleboro Center. The old house he occupied was yet standing in 1869 without change, except that caused by time and neglect. There is character expressed in a well-preserved painting. Blending with good humor and pene tration is something that tells of conscious power in reserve for occasion. The accuracy and quickness of perception for which he was noted, and also a proclivity for the healing art, seem to have been hereditary in his posterity to the third generation. His son, Dr. John Locke Dickerman, was an established physician here about forty years ; and his two sons, William and Lemuel, have been members of the same profession in Eastern Massachusetts." His wife, Lucinda Arms, was of an excellent family. Her father was Major John Arms, officer of a regiment stationed at Brattle boro in 1766 ; and her mother was Susanna Willard, a daughter of Colonel Josiah Willard, who held command at Fort Dummer, as early as 1740. The children of Dr. Dickerman are thus inheri tors from the military chiefs who held this frontier post in the 54 FROM MASSACHUSETTS TO VERMONT. Indian wars and preceded the actual settlers. This accounts for the recurrence of the names Willard and Arms. It may account, also, in part, for the heroic spirit shown in some, of whose lives we are here allowed a glimpse.

In 1886 an article appeared in the Pall Mall Gazette of London, in connection with the Oxford conference of the " Head Mistresses Association," which alludes to Miss Harriet E. Dickerman as illustrating how a woman may succeed in gaining a government office. " Showing a talent for art, she studied awhile, and taught painting in one or two schools, notably the Tilden school, at Leb anon. Convinced that a better knowledge of her art was requisite, she sought instruction in Boston, and, to pay her way, found a place in the internal revenue office. After staying there several months and giving satisfaction by her sys tematic ways, her quick comprehension and faithfulness, she was transferred to the state house as clerk, under Mr. Slack, whom she has succeeded. She passed the civil service examination, and has learned by heart all the duties of her position. Her example will show women what it is possible to attain if they take up their work earnestly and honestly and with an interest to do it well, for the work's sake as well as their own." II.

" She was president of the Auxiliary of the Women's Board of Foreign Missions, vice-president for Vermont of the National Women's Christian Temperance Union, president of the State Union and also of the local Temperance Society. Her efforts were unceasing and laborious to advance the cause of temper ance ; she ably exerted her influence to prevent the combination of the Women's Temperance Union with the women's suffrage movement ; and the temperance cause in Rutland probably owes more to her than to any other one person, for she never knew such a thing as defeat. It was all a Christian life with her. She did what she did, because she believed she was right, and being right there could be no ultimate failure. In her composition was much of the material 62 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. of which reformers are made, — energy, industry, consecration. She received her instructions from above and she was tireless in carry ing them out. Her deep religious experience and knowledge of the Bible made her an unusual Sunday school teacher. Her place at religious meetings was rarely vacant and what she had to do was always well done." The following sketch of Dr. Lemuel Dickerman is condensed from an article published at Foxboro. " Few men of this town and its vicinity would be more missed or lamented than will be the veteran physician and family friend, Dr. Lemuel Dickerman. He was of a family of physicians, his father and grandfather having been successful practitioners, and acquiring fame for their skill and ability. He was graduated at the Castleton Medical College, now the University of Vermont, in 1845. After a year's practice with Dr. Lewis in Boston he settled in Medfield and practiced there seven years. During this time he was frequently called to Foxboro, and in 1853 he bought out the business of Dr. James Foster and estab lished himself here. For over forty years he has ministered to the bodily pains of this people. Hundreds have made their debut on life's stage led by his professional hand, not a few of whom, despite his interest and skill, passed out before him. In his long practice he became familiar not only with the physical infirmities of individuals, both hereditary and contracted, but with their peculiarities of tempera ment, habits, idiosyncrasies, caprices and, in numberless instances, with the mental and social distress that perplexed and harassed them. He had their confidence, and many family secrets and clos eted skeletons, disclosed to no others, became a part of his burden and were carried sacredly and inviolably to the grave. He was a man of generous impulses and did many an act of charity and cancelled many a debt, earned under exposure and exacting conditions, known only to himself and the recording angel."

On recovering health, he was trans ferred to the 103rd Reg. Ills. Infantry, of which he was Quarter master till the resignation of Colonel A. C. Babcock, when he was unanimously chosen to that office. The regiment was mustered in October 2, 1862, and left Peoria for the South the latter part of the month, under his command ; it was engaged in battle at the siege of Vicksburg, at Black River, and at Missionary Ridge, Knoxville, Dalton and Resaca. He was a brave soldier, commanding well, and having the love and esteem of all his men. He was in command of the Brigade at Resaca, and, had he lived, would undoubtedly have been promoted to General. An article published in the Oswego, N. Y., Times says : " This notice will recall one of the most gifted women our city has known. Emma Dickerman was the daughter of Col. Willard A. Dickerman of the 103rd Reg. Ills. Vols., who was killed in the famous march to the sea. Her early years were spent in Illinois. She was graduated from the Twelfth St. school in New York in '69, and from the Oswego Normal in '71. 64 THE FAMILY IN ILLINOIS. After her marriage to Prof. Straight she stood shoulder to shoul der with him in his educational work in the Normal schools of Peru, Neb., Warrensburg, Mo., Oswego, N. Y., and Normal Park, Ills. After his death she carried on her labors in Col. Parker's school till she went to Japan to teach in the Tokio Normal. The damp climate proved unfavorable, developing the consumptive germs, doubtless contracted from her husband. After two years, physicians advised her return. The danger was not relieved by the mountain air of California, and the dry climate of Arizona could not arrest the disease. Mrs. Straight's culture was deep and varied. She worked in special lines under the best masters, Agassiz at Penikese Island, Corson at Cornell, Ralph at Boston and Martha's Vineyard. She was imbued with the scientific method, and used it in teaching rhetoric, literature, history, drawing and biology. Witty, versa tile and brilliant, the truest, most devoted of friends, there was no limit to her self-sacrifice ; her sympathy reached to all ; she aspired to the highest ideals, the true child of a brave soldier." CHAPTER V. EBENEZER6 DICKERMAN OF STOUGHTON AND EASTON. " Under a spreading chestnut tree The village smithy stands ; The smith, a mighty man is he With large and sinewy hands : — Week in, week out, from morn till night, You can hear his bellows blow ; You can hear him swing his heavy sledge With measured beat and slow." — H. W. Longfellow, In reviewing the development of our country and noticing the part now borne by manufacturing industries, one may ask where these industries had their beginning. As concerns textile fabrics, we are reminded of the spinning-wheel and hand-loom, worked by nimble fingers of matron and maid, by the fireside in their homes. But for manufactures in iron and other metals we must look elsewhere. And in so doing our eye falls at once on the blacksmith shop. This was the resort in early times for numberless necessary things which are now struck out and finished by a few blows and turns of a machine. The conditions were not unlike those of the Hebrews whom the Philistines kept in servitude by not allow ing them any smiths of their own, so that they had to go to their oppressors "to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter and his axe and his mattock," and could not get a sword or a spear at any price. In that simple, primitive life, the blacksmith not only furnished tools for the farm and the home, but the necessary equipments for war — swords, pikes, guns. All the arts gathered about his anvil, and the inventive genius of the whole community paid court to him as a constructive master. Not even a nail was to be had except from under the blows of his hammer. 66 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. This made a skillful smith of great value, and sometimes consid erable persuasion was used to induce such an one to establish himself in a particular place. Ebenezer6 Dickerman followed this calling in Stoughton, where he lived till he was past forty years of age. He then bought land in Easton and went there to live. Just before this he had been at military service in the French and Indian war, which may have had something to do with his change of abode. Ebenezer6 Dickerman= Lydia Gould. 8.

In 1861 I went into the Confederate army as a Lieutenant ; in June, 1863, was at Millikin's Bend, Louisiana, and was wounded in both arms, losing AT SHERMAN. 75 my right arm and having the left permanently disabled ; was pro moted to the rank of Captain for gallantry on the battle-field, and was granted an indefinite leave of absence. Before I had learned to write with my maimed left hand I was elected, without opposi tion, to the office of County Clerk. For six years I was disfran chised by the United States military government of Texas, and engaged in the newspaper business, in which I did well. As soon as permitted by the government I became a candidate for County Clerk and held the office for thirteen consecutive years, sometimes without opposition, and always in spite of it. And now, at the age of sixty-two years, in good health, and with the world around me full of friends, and not an enemy on the broad earth, I am ready to yield up my stewardship whenever the Good Master calls."

Lyman7 Dickerman received such education as the public schools of his day afforded, and such as an unusually inquiring mind could gather from various sources. In 1825, he married Vienna, the eldest daughter of Leonard Sproat of Middleboro, Mass., a woman whose intellect was remarkably keen and pene trating. Their home early became an institution of learning. He devoted himself to the study of music, and was intimately asso ciated with Lowell Mason. He assisted Mr. Mason in the prepar ation of Carmina Sacra, and taught music, sometime during the early forties, in the Public Schools of Nantucket. In 1847 he removed with his family to Providence, R. I., and was there in business till 1849, when an offer to go to California separated him temporarily from his family. He was one of the founders of the First Congregational Church of San Francisco, was an influential and active member, and its senior deacon till the day of his death. It was at his suggestion, and mainly through his influence that the Rev. Andrew L. Stone, D.D., was called from Park Street church, Boston, to its pastorate. By his spotless life, by his unflinching integrity, and by his warm and loving heart which went out to the homeless and friendless young men of early California life, he held the affectionate esteem and admiration of a large and intelli gent circle. He and his wife are buried together in Laurel Hill cemetery, near San Francisco, and the grass over their graves will be kept perpetually green. Lysander6 Dickerman was fitted for college at Phillips Academy, Andover; graduated at Brown University, 1851 ; Andover Theo logical Seminary, 1856 ; ordained pastor of the Congregational church at Gloucester, Mass., 1858 ; called to Weymouth, Mass., 1861, and remained there till 1867. He was under treatment for nervous prostration in New Hampshire till 1869, when he spent a year in Egypt ; was a student in Berlin University 1870-72 ; then returning to America, was a pastor at Quincy, Ills., 1873-74 ; in California, 1874-1880, since which time he has been a lecturer on Egyptology. Of his lectures, the following testimonial was given by President W F. Warren of Boston University, at the close of a course delivered there, and was indorsed by the audience with a rising vote. AT NORTH BRIDGEWATER. 79 "The public lecture course just concluded has been one of the most suc cessful ever delivered before this University. " Whether viewed with respect to variety and freshness of matter, or to appro priateness of style, or to beauty of illustration, each lecture has been worthy of high praise. " It is believed that wherever intelligent communities are seeking to become more intelligent, and especially wherever students are eager to be conducted by the most effective methods into an understanding of the venerable primeval civ ilizations of the world, there such aids as those presented by Mr. Dickerman will find hearty and deserved appreciation." Miss Amelia B. Edwards, in writing for " The Academy," Lon don, January 16, 1886, speaks also of these lectures and their author : "An earnest and devoted student of Egyptology, he is, perhaps, the only transatlantic man of letters who can be said to be seriously qualifying himself for a position among the Egyptologists of Europe." Mr. Dickerman is the author of a number of valuable publica tions : The Egyptian Deities . A review of Thayer's Lexicon of the New Testament and other papers in the Andover Review ; The Hittites of the Bible, in the Journal of the American Geographical Society, 1889 ; The Fay-Am, in the same, 1892 ; Woman in Ancient Egypt, the same, 1895 ; Mariette- Bey's Monuments of Upper Egypt, Boston, 1890 ; The names of Jacob and Joseph in Egypt, Old Testa ment Student, 1888 ; The Etymology and Synonyms of the Egyptian word for Pyramid, in the Journal of the American Oriental Society, besides many sermons and public addresses. He received the degree of D.D. from Brown University, 1893, and is a member of The American Oriental Society, Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis, Society of Biblical Archaeology, London, res., 1896, The Washington View, New York City. By the death of Dr. F. F. Forsyth in 1894, and of his son in 1895, the city of Providence lost two physicians who were hon ored and beloved. Of the former it is said, " That he was deeply interested in religious and educational affairs. For a time he taught in the Alstead High School and Francestown Academy, in New Hampshire ; then edited the Manchester Messenger and pub lished the first Directory of Manchester. After studying medi cine at Pittsfield, Mass., and Woodstock, Vt., he practiced at Hampton, N. H., then at South Abington, Mass., and afterward at Weymouth. He was on the School Boards of South Abington 80 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. and Weymouth, Superintendent of the Sunday School connected with the Union Congregational Church of Weymouth and Brain tree, Deacon of the Old North Church and a Director of the Wey mouth and Braintree Institution for Savings. He was instru mental in organizing the Union Medical and Surgical Club, being its first President, and when this club was incorporated as a branch of the Massachusetts Medical Society, he was again elected President. For a long period he was one of the Councilors of the Massachusetts Medical Society. An honest, conscientious physi cian, many families have sadly missed his good judgment and care." "His son was a member of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Medical Societies and of the American Medical Association. His medical education was at the Harvard Medical College where he received the degree of M.D., and afterward continued his studies in a post-graduate course. After spending a few months at Wey mouth, he removed to Providence, where he was engaged in a large and successful practice. He was widely known in the city and was a member of many social organizations." Manasseh7 Dickerman=Mary A. Hunt. 48.

His mother died when he was five days old, and his father when he was at the age of ten. His uncle Manasseh took him into his family, and he lived in that house till he was married. This is what has always been told me concerning my father. It is a long time since I saw any of the family of Manasseh, not since I was nine years of age. I am now in my eighty-fifth year, having lived in Quincy seventy-one years and with my husband sixty-three years. He carried on the granite business forty-eight years with good success and passed to the higher life in 1891, ae. 84, honored and beloved. Father belonged to the Easton Light Infantry and was drafted at the time of the war of 1812. He was stationed at Plymouth. When peace was declared he returned home, and soon after bought an estate in Bridgewater, now called Brockton, where he passed the rest of his life." " William Field was early inured to labor, his parents being poor. His father died when he was twelve years old, and not long after this, in 182 1, he began to work in the granite quarries, which were then beginning to attract attention ; and from that time until his death was identified with every step in the development of this great industry. For over seventy years he was connected with the ledges, the men, the machinery, the labors and successes of the enterprise, till he had seen the associates of his early toil fall one by one, and he was left hale and vigorous, the oldest granite man in Quincy, and the last of the pioneer quarrymen. He learned stone cutting, which he followed for eight years, working during the time on stone for Bunker Hill monument, the New York Exchange and other buildings of note. In 1839, he with others formed the Franklin Granite Campany. Eighteen months later he entered into partnership with the late AT EASTON. 83 Eleazer Frederick, and the firm of Frederick & Field has been one of the most prosperous in the city. They did a large amount of building in Boston for fifteen or twenty years, and afterward made a specialty of monumental work. From small beginnings and work done by hand the business has grown to about $100,000 per annum, using labor-saving machinery, run by expensive engines for hoisting, polishing, cut ting and drilling. They have furnished material for public build ings and monuments in all parts of the United States from New England to New Orleans and California." — Quincy Ledger, June p, 1891.

" But when a Race, tending by vale and hill Free flocks, contented with its rude domain — Bursts the hard bondage with its own great will, Lets fall the sword when once it rends the chain And, flushed with Victory, can be human still — There blest the strife.'' —¦"William Tell," Schiller. The experiences of the colonial period were a training for national life. A century and a half of struggle with wild forces in a new country culminated in the war of independence and the birth of the republic. What made this uprising more than a short-lived rebellion was the solid virtue of the common people. Habits of toil and fru gality had disciplined them to endurance. Long and unremitting defence of their homes from the cunning and ferocity of savages had made them so familiar with danger that its terrors were gone. The simplicity and freedom of their ways at home and among their neighbors had intensified the traditional feeling against tyranny till the thought of it was unbearable. The people of the colonies had become the people of America. They had grown and strengthened and drawn together in the unity of common interests, from the rocky coasts of Maine to the palmetto-clad shores of Georgia. This family had its full share in the movement. In the French and Indian war, Thomas6, Ebenezer6 and Samuel6 were in the ranks. But now, twenty years later, with a new generation to draw from, at least eleven, perhaps a twelfth, caught the spirit of the hour and became soldiers of the revolution. Of John6's sons, only the name of Peter" is found on the muster rolls. But Ebenezer6's, with one exception, are all there, and this one was too young for service, if indeed he had not died before. Three sons of Samuel6 are enrolled in like manner, and tradition AT STOUGHTON. 91 says that the eldest, who then lived in New Hampshire, was with Prescott and Warren at Bunker Hill. Their service seems to have been that of " minute men " rather than for long periods or distant campaigning. In most cases they were called out on a sudden emergency and returned after a few days to their homes. Those times were full of feverish excitement, with mingled apprehensions and hopes. It was another thing to be in arms against the mother country, from fighting Indians or carrying on a border strife with the French. This was a struggle with their own kindred and a breaking away from immemorial ties. It was the entrance upon new political conditions, as untried as were the forests to the first settlers. The same qualities were required as then, and the same were found. In the return of peace, too, there was no return to old condi tions. The new government was an experiment in popular rule. There was no telling how long it would last or whether it might not drift into disorder. And so, as before, the stability of society depended on the character of the people. The fact that there was . stability shows that the people were equal to their trust. Samuel6 Dickerman, the father, lived at Stoughton and brought up his family there. His oldest son, whose name was also Sam uel6, married at the age of twenty-one, and soon after went to live at Francestown, N. H. It was not far from the same time that his cousin Lemuel6 went to Brattleboro ; and as he became identified with that place, so Samuel" and his family were henceforth identi fied with Francestown. Lemuel6 Dickerman, the second son, lived in Roxbury. He had but one son, who died unmarried. A large family of daughters, however, remained and have many descendants. Enoch6 Dickerman, the fourth son, went to New Hampshire about ten years after his older brother, and engaged in manufac turing at Pembroke. Ezra" Dickerman, the youngest, remained at Stoughton, which, in that particular part, was now called Canton. The other brother, Elijah6, has left few traces by which we can learn of his course after the war. The same is true of his cousins, Jaazaniah6 and Comfort.6 92 FROM MASSACHUSETTS TO NEW HAMPSHIRE.

That she could easily throw a barrel of cider into a cart or pick it up and drink from the bunghole. That she ha-djive fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. This peculiarity has been transmitted to several who are now liv ing. There has also been a tradition in the family of John and Sally Dakin Dickerman which, until proved erroneous by the writer, was regarded as historical. That during the Revolutionary war three brothers, who were impressed into the British army, deserted at Charleston, S. C, on a dark night, in a terrific thunder storm, crawling on their hands and knees through a swamp and dense thicket into the camp of Washington, who sent them north, one settling in New Hampshire, one in Massachusetts and one in Connecticut, and from them all the American Dickermans descended. — E.

On March 13, 1891, Mr. Daniel Tarbell sent a neatly printed " anniversary speech " to many of his friends from which are made the following extracts: "March 13, 181 1, was my Natal Day. Four score years have run their race with the countless ages that have gone before them. The incidents of childhood, youth and old age — these four score years are all there are for me to gather up and leave as fresh mementoes for you, my children, and those who come after you. I have much to be thankful for, the sweet recollections of youth, and, sweeter still, the assurance of that life beyond the grave. I cannot here recount the evidences of the continuation of this life, as they are too numerous." " By the divine law virtue is her own rewarder and vice her own pun- isher. We cannot afford to do wrong. Happiness is the only fruit of well doing, and misery the only fruit of evil doing. These rewards and punishments teach us to grow better and to have more charity for our fellowmen. Christianity is not a faith but a life, and all those that believe that Jesus will cancel their evil deeds without suffering are mistaken, and the quicker we dis abuse them of this error the better for them and the world." 106 THE FAMILY IN VERMONT.

(100) Enoch6 Dickerman enlisted April 19, 1775, from Stoughton, Capt. Asahel Smith's Co., served 4 months 28 days ; again, March 4, 1776, under the same Captain and served 3 days at Dorchester Heights ; again, March 22, 1776, Capt. Theophilus Lyon's Co., " marched from Stoughton to Braintree in defence of their country ;" again, July 13, 1776, served 3 days, " marched to Moon Island, 28 miles, when the ministerial fleet was driven out of Bos ton ;" again, Aug. 14, 1777, Capt. John Bradley's Co., "marched to Northern Dept.", served 3 months 28 days. " Enoch and Eliz abeth Dickerman were received to 3d Parish Church of Roxbury, May 29, 1774." This Elizabeth was doubtless his sister. In 1802 he bought a share of Morrell's mills at Pembroke, Rockingham Co., N. H., and built a clothing mill there. In 1809 he deeded this property to Samuel Tolman of Stoughton, Mass., who after ward deeded it to Enoch's son, Moses7 Dickerman. Feb. 24, 1814, Sarah, wife of Enoch" Dickerman of Pembroke, N. H., "clothier and seamstress," deeded in quit claim to Thomas Tolman of Stoughton, " all our right of land dower to Elizabeth Wales, the said Sarah's mother, and of estate of Moses Wales, deceased, Feb. 24, 1814." It would seem from the records that her burial was at Canton. Mr. T. L. Fowler of East Pembroke communicates the follow ing information April 12, 1891 : " By the records for Rockingham County I learn that in Aug. 1802, Nathaniel Morrill, John Morrill and Hezekiah Young deeded to Enoch Dickerman of Canton, Mass., one-quarter of a saw mill, a grist mill, a privilege for a fulling mill by said grist mill, a dwelling house and barn, with about fifty acres of land, all in Pembroke, N. H. I think there must have been a fulling mill there at the time, as Young was, I think, a clothier. These mills had been built about nine years and were in the extreme northerly part of Pembroke, with no road leading directly from Pembroke village to them. March 9, 1809, Enoch Dickerman deeded the same property to Samuel Tolman of Stoughton, Mass. Feb. 28, 1810, Tolman deeded one-half of the 9 130 THE FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS. same to Moses Dickerman. I cannot say how long Moses con tinued to own the property, but in 1823 Tolman mortgaged the whole to John Stunyan of Pembroke. I was born Dec. 1816, and have heard that the Dickermans left there a little after my birth, within a year or two. I have a recollection that when attending Pembroke Academy, about 1833, there was a young man of this name in the school." Enoch7 Dickerman, the son, is referred to in Bouton's history of Concord, N. H., p. 590, as a somewhat eccentric character. Samuel7 Dickerman = { fEBECTCA DlCKERMAN- ( Lois Jordan. 99.

" He was a delightful man to meet, a good story teller and always had a new story to tell. He did not laugh till he had finished and then broke out heartily. He was a Unitarian, but his wife was a member of Dr. Burgess's church of Dedham and a Congrega- tionalist." 134 the family in massachusetts. Samuel Chandler=Sarah7 Dickerman. IOI.

EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. "A commonwealth ought to be but as one huge Christian personage, one mighty growth and stature of an honest man, as big and compact in virtue as in body." — fohn Milton. Twenty years had passed since the planting of the New Haven colony, when Abraham Dickerman went thither to make it his home. It was not like going among strangers. The relations between the people of New Haven and those of Massachusetts Bay were most intimate. Davenport and Eaton, with their company of two hundred and fifty, arrived at Boston on the 26th of June, 1637, not more than a year or two later, probably, than the ship which brought Thomas Dickerman. This was a notable accession to the strength of the colonists, both from the high character of the leaders and from the wealth and enterprise represented. Great efforts were made to have them remain permanently at Boston. But they had come for business as well as for convictions. They purposed to start an independent settlement and to found a commercial city. There was no need of haste, however. It was wise to gain a better understanding of the ground they were to occupy before going farther. So they sent on seven of their number to spend the winter and thoroughly examine the situation, while they tar ried for the report. The best part of a year was passed in this way and it was the 30th of March, 1638, when they again embarked to complete their voyage. These were fruitful months. Think of how much it meant for these new comers to be associated, during all this time, with the tried veterans who had preceded them in the work of building settlements. What cheer it brought to the Massachusetts pioneers to greet in their homes these fresh arrivals from the dear old country ! And how intensely interesting to the sojourners was this life of the colony, with its illustrations of what they them selves were to encounter, the problems they would have to meet and solve in the new community they were about to establish ! I36 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. The settlement was small as yet, numbering no more than a New England village of the present day, and providing for all these men, women and children must have given some share to every house. This speedily brought about a close familiarity. Children were playing together ; youths and maidens were chat ting merrily over their work, and the older people talked of busi ness concerns, discussed the political aspect of things in England, or gravely argued on questions of theology. Those who have lived for any time in a frontier settlement of the present day know how free and spontaneous is the social life to be found there. We may suppose that it was not altogether different in this case. That sojourn in Boston of these settlers on their way to New Haven made them participants in all that was going on. For the time they were a part of that community, entering into its interests, forming acquaintances and cultivating friendships to continue through life. After this, the people of New Haven could not but cherish warm feelings toward those of Massachusetts Bay. And every thing worked to perpetuate these feelings. That was the central point for all the Puritan colonies, the port of entry for shipping, the trading post, the metropolis, so far as there was any, on this side of the Atlantic. Intercourse was constant between the two places, and the settlers on the Sound were frequent visitors in the homes and among the people who had become so dear to them. It is not strange, therefore, that the daughter of a New Haven citizen should have been in Dorchester in the year 1658. Nor is it more surprising that a young man of that place should have formed an attachment for her and asked her to become his wife. This, in brief, is the story of the marriage of Abraham Dicker- man and Mary Cooper. Here is the explanation, too, of the removal to New Haven. They could start out in life there under especially favorable con ditions, as her father was a man of growing prominence, and this seemed better than to make a home in Dorchester. So Abraham Dickerman became identified with the people among whom his wife had been reared, entering not only her family but the com munity. As time passed on children came to them and grew up there. These children married those of the neighbors. The grandchildren did the same till all the families of that time were intermingled, and the descendants of one were descendants of many. A glance at the Charts will make this clear. THE FOUNDERS. 137 The true child of a historic town must have the sentiment of filial reverence, not only toward the one ancestor whose name he bears, but toward those others, also, whose blood flows in his veins and whose traits are interwoven in his personality. It is fitting that we linger a little over these early people of New Haven. They began their colony in 1638 by founding a church, thinking to build a state with no voters but church members and with the Bible for their law book. Having broken away from a bad gov ernment, they wanted to form a good one, and this seemed to them the most likely way. For leaders they had able, educated and wealthy men. These had followed lucrative pursuits and lived in comfort heretofore, They expected to do the same here and laid their plans for busi ness success. Events looked promising. The movement of colonists from England to America was in full flow, with prospects of increase. The tyrannies of the crown were unbearable ; most of the Puri tans had lost hope of juster treatment, and Cromwell had not yet arisen. What was more probable than the speedy growth of a commonwealth on this side of the sea ? The settlement was laid out with this in mind. It was soon to be a thriving seaport. A number of the settlers built large and costly houses, " outdoing the rest of the country," as the historian says. The house of Theophilus Eaton was so large as to contain nineteen fire-places, and those of Davenport, Gregson and Aller- ton were on a similar scale. The style of living, too, in the wealthier families, was of a kind not often seen among pioneers. It was bringing London into a wilderness. But the promise failed of fulfillment. The Long parliament assembled, Cromwell led his " Ironsides " to victory, Charles was beheaded. The immigration to America ceased, and the settlers began to go back to England. New Haven could not grow. Investments there did not bring returns. Those who had been rich saw their wealth fast leaving them. Many were the disappointments of those first twenty years. Besides the lack of success in businesss other things went ill. Their near neighbors, the Dutch at Manhattan, were not friendly. An attempt to start a settlement at Delaware was defeated by Swedes. Having built a large ship at great cost and laden it with 138 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. a choice cargo, they saw it sail out of the harbor with a number of their best people and never heard of it again. Malaria prevailed and was as depressing to the spirits as it is to-day. The darker traits of human nature came out now and then, for with all their devotion to a religious conviction, they were far from perfect. Crimes were committed and punished. Members of the church misbehaved and were put under discipline. This happened to their earliest clerk, and also to the earliest schoolmaster, and so great was their chagrin that they left the colony. The wife of the governor fell under the same cloud and passed many years in excommunication. And finally, to crown the whole, their pecu liar system of government and their independence as a colony were overthrown at one blow by the act which consolidated the two colonies of New Haven and Connecticut into one. Probably the men who thought out this enterprise and did their best to work it out, all died with the feeling that their project had failed. They had built up in their minds an ideal commonwealth and hoped to make it actual in their own day. But their planting was for a longer growth and a more distant harvest. The list of planters made in 1641 contains 121 names, and there were 30 householders besides. But of these 151 proprietors quite a number never became residents, many removed early to Milford and other settlements, while several returned within a few years to England. Hardly half became permanent and left families to be an element of the community afterwards. Those of commanding influence at the beginning were most of them gone in twenty years. Thomas Gregson, George Lam berton, Francis Brewster and Capt. Nathaniel Turner were lost in the ship that never returned. Elder Robert Newman is not men tioned after 1649. Governor Eaton died in 1657, and the deputy governor, Stephen Goodyear, who was absent in England, fol lowed him soon after. The pastor, John Davenport, bereft of his early co-laborers, remained to bear, without their sympathy, the bitterness of that great disappointment in the union with Con necticut, and then in 1668 removed with his family to Boston. Of the eleven whose names are recorded as chosen founders, only Matthew Gilbert, William Andrews and John Punderson were then left. And these three with Governor Eaton were probably the only ones to be buried here. New men now came to the front to guide the affairs of the com- JOHN COOPER. 139 munity, and they were men of a different kind ; not so great, but more practical in dealing with everyday concerns. The founders were scholars, thinkers, masters of the deeper things in the life of men and of society. They had many traits of the seer. They saw visions — saw a kingdom to be established of so high an order that the age was not ready for it. This made them visionary. Those who followed were more common men, and for that reason better fitted for what now had to be done. Of this class was John Cooper.* He had been with the colony from the first — planter, freeman and signer of the " fundamental agreement." At that time he was a young married man, with one child, to whom others were soon added. His means were small, the amount of his tax being 6 shillings 7 pence. His edu cation was meager ; he signed his name with a mark and all his books were inventoried after his death at 18 shillings. He was not in a position to become engrossed with the profound concep tions of Eaton and Davenport. His view of things was at close range. It was the practical question of making a home and get ting bread for his family. And when it came to public interests his eye was caught by the things that were going at loose ends about town and that needed to be brought up and put in order ; what was wanted then and there to make New Haven a better place to live in, and to advance the welfare of its people. Such a man was of course in the background during the specu lative period. But he was to live till this period had passed, growing deeply and strongly into the practical everyday life of the place and making himself master of its affairs. He was to be here fifty years, and during that time perform valuable services for the community which was then acquiring the character it has held until now. In the New Haven records for these fifty years there are few names occurring so often as his, or in a way to show more con stant engagement with public duties. In the earlier years these duties were often of that thankless sort whose necessity every one sees but few are willing to undertake ; later he was in positions of dignity and honor. * This name is spelled variously in the New Haven records. Often it is Cowper. There was another John Cooper among the early settlers of Lynn, Mass., who came from Olney, England, the home of the poet William Cowper. In English records the John Cooper of Lynn has been found associated with certain New Haven colonists, which suggests a possible near relationship to this person of the same name. In a list of emigrants in the Expedition of London, Nov. 20, 1635, occurs, "Jo: Coop [Cooper] of 21 yeeres," with "Jo: Davenport, 30 yeeres." 140 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. Nov. 16, 1643, it is ordered, "That every chimney in town in which fire is kept be swept once every month from September till March, and once every two months in summer, which work Goodman Cooper has undertaken to do, and is to have 4 pence apeice for every chimney that is two stories high and upward and 2 pence apeice for all that are under two stories to be duly paid by all them that agree with him ; but if any will do it themselves and Goodman Cooper come after the limited time and find them not done or not well done, he is to do it well and to have double pay of them whose neglect it is, and if he neglect to do it he is to pay double pay for his neglect." He continued to do this work as late as 1649, when other public duties fully occupied his time. Oct. 22, 1645, ne and Joseph Nash were admitted members of the court. In the following March he was appointed with Christo pher Todd a "viewer of fences for Mr. Newman and Mr. Brown ing's quarter ;" fourteen others being designated for the same office in other quarters.* April 1, 1646, it was ordered, "That bro : Cooper drive the necke the 17th of this instant April, and after wards whose cattle soever be found there, they being pounded, shall pay by the owner 6d. a head." Again in October " he and bro : Mansfield were chosen sur veyors." The next year, March 23, 1647, ne was appointed on a committee to equalize taxes, also on a committee to " confer with bro : Andrews about keeping an ordinarie," i. e. a public house. Then, October 1648, the question was raised of having a public pound with a pound-keeper in constant service. A committee reported through the Governor, "That the man most fit for this trust and employment, the court conceived, was John Cooper." In due time he was appointed, and took oath Nov. 20, 1648, "To be faithful to the trust committed to him in viewing fences and pound ing cattle, according to the court's order, without partiality or respect of persons." * The practice of choosing two fence viewers for each "Quarter1' was continued till 1738, after which a number of "fence viewers for the town" were chosen. The names of the " Quarters" were changed in some cases when the land holders after whom they were called had passed away. So the " Newman and Browning Quarter" on the north side of the town, came to be known as "¦Cooper's Quarter" and this name was retained as late as 1738. In 1684 the divisions were "York shire Quarter" westward of the public square, " Cooper's Quarter," on the north. " Governor's Quarter" on the east, and " The Suburbs" on the southwest. THE PRACTICAL MAN. 141 Not much is said of the other "fence viewers " who began with him. He seems to have done his work with so great thorough ness that he soon had on his hands the duties of all the rest, and people came to look to him as the only one for this kind of ser vice. And it was a service of no little importance in a new town, where horses, cattle and swine were roaming at large. The peace and comfort of every house were concerned. Delicate and difficult questions were sure to rise between one neighbor and another, requiring sound sense and a large share of good humor for their adjustment. To succeed in such a position was no slight achieve ment. In 1654 a militia company of 133 men was called for in view of threatened hostilities with the Dutch. In this company he was appointed a Corporal. The same year he and Thomas Munson presented a petition to the General Court in behalf of fifty or sixty persons who proposed to remove to Delaware Bay. In con nection with this project he was sent as a special messenger to Boston to solicit cooperation from the settlers there, an errand which had little success. About 1655, John Winthrop and Stephen Goodyear united in establishing iron works at the outlet of Lake Saltonstall, where they set up " a bloomery and forge." John Cooper was in care of these works and was connected with them as agent while they lasted, till 1679 or 80. An interesting account of this enterprise is to be found in Dodd's East Haven Register, p. 23. In 1657 the works were leased to Capt. Thomas Clarke and Mr. Payne of Boston. Doubt less the business then took the agent occasionally to that city, and this may account for his daughter's being there in 1658-9. At this time John Cooper's name begins to appear frequently as attorney in cases before the General Court ; also as an appraiser of estates, like those of Edward Hitchcock and Governor New man ; the Court appoints him a commissioner for the settlement of Mrs. Goodyear's estate ; he is on a committee to fix the bounds of certain lands in dispute lying between the colonies of New Haven and Connecticut, and he is chosen in 1661 and 1662 a Deputy to the General Court. After the union of the two colo nies he was five times Deputy to the Connecticut General Assem bly, and he held the office of Townsman, or Selectman, as we now say, for twenty-seven terms. But perhaps the highest mark of esteem was given in 1661. It was soon after the restoration of Charles II. to the British throne. 142 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. The regicides Goffe and Whalley had fled to this country and were in hiding at New Haven. Officers of the King had been sent to arrest them, but had failed because of the protection given to the fugitives by the people. Great indignation had been aroused, and Edward Rawson, the royal Secretary at Boston, had written to Governor Leete a sharp and threatening letter. This caused general alarm. President Stiles says : " In less than ten days after the departure of the pursuivants, on May 23, 1661, John Nash and John Cooper, being chosen Deputies to the General Court, declined, and the same day, at a second choice, John Davenport, Jr., and John Nash being elected, declined serving. No choice was made ; such was the reluctance of all to serve at this critical juncture. At length, Aug. 1, 1661, John Cooper and James Bishop were elected and dared to accept." The former had been one of the Townsmen at the time of the Judges' escape, and so was in the greater danger. His acceptance of the election of Deputy, therefore, showed his courage. The people were not slow to see this and looked to him as one whom they could depend upon. It was a case of the greatest delicacy, requiring the finest tact and the most prudent diplomacy. When, therefore, John Cooper was chosen one of two who should proceed to Boston and present to the angry Secretary the reply of the General Court, it was high proof of the esteem and confidence in which he was held. John Cooper's " home lot " in New Haven was on the south west corner of Church and Grove streets, extending nearly to the present corner of Wall street. This property passed to his son and long remained in the family. Several other fields came to him as a planter, and the whole amounted to about thirty-four acres. Afterward he added by purchase, from time to time, till he had land enough to provide generously for his children. Though he removed to East Haven on account of the iron works, it seems probable that the home in New Haven was still continued ; kept, perhaps, by his daughters. The record of his family is as follows : John' Cooper died Nov. 23, 1689. I. Mary.2 m. Jan. 2, 1658-9, Abraham2 Dickerman. (3) II. Hannah2, b. about 1639, d.

Before me John Nash Ass'." On arriving in New Haven, then, Abraham Dickerman came at once into possession of considerable property from his father-in- law. We can imagine what it may have been to the latter for this young man to enter his family at just this time when the enter prise at East Haven was bringing a great increase of cares and making it impossible to attend to all his old duties at New Haven. Doubtless the young wife, being the oldest daughter, was given the chief management of the New Haven home, and, 146 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. with her parents away in East Haven, she and her husband would have been called on for the many things people had come to expect of her parents. For the young man it must have been an opening of large opportunities full of incentives to energy and ambition. Not only were there personal and private interests to be guarded, but he was brought more or less into public concerns. It was a crit ical time for the colony. The question of the union with Con necticut was under discussion, with all that involved. Then came the restoration of Charles II., the protection of the regicides, and the exciting events which followed. His father-in-law was actively engaged, as we have seen. And he himself must have become an interested participant in what was going on. Public concerns occupied much of his thought, and he was at once brought into training for the civic positions he was afterward to occupy. There were two incidents which familiarized him very soon with court proceedings. At the time of his marriage, the bride's father had a case pending which offered some rather comic fea tures. It was over the identity of a certain " dun mare and her colt.'' Rev. Abraham Pierson, who was then pastor at Branford, claimed them as his and brought a suit against John Cowper and Matthew Moulthrop to recover them. The court found the argu ments so evenly balanced that a decision was difficult, and the case was put off again and again for over two years. The mare and colt were ordered up for examination, and the grave heads looked them over in vain for further light. They advised arbitra tion, recommended the contestants to settle it " betwixt them selves." But all else failing, the decision was given at last that " the Court do at present judge that the most probable right falls on the plaintiff's side." The Court ordered the costs to be divided between them. The other case was more serious. A young girl named Mary Betts was employed in Mr. Cooper's house and, getting angry at some punishment, burnt his barn, with a quantity of corn that it contained, involving a loss of over 100^. In the trial it was shown that the girl's mother and older sister had put her up to it. With reference to the penalty Mr. Cooper said that — " He desired that what was done might be that all might heare and feare & doe noe more soe wickedly." ABRAHAM DICKERMAN S HOMESTEAD. 147 The sentence given was — " That the said Mary Betts be publickly whipped & at the same time weare an halter about her necke visibly, the crime perpetrated being capital by law, deserving death were she of age, capable of such censure. . . It is also ordered that he, (John Cooper), may at his liberty sell or dispose of said Mary as a bond servant for and toward his satisfaction to any person and into any place within some or other of the English plantacons of one of the 4 united colonies in New England & not elsewhere, that she may live under publicke ordinances for her soules good," and " Hannah Betts to be sett in ye stocks for the space of one houre." After being in New Haven some nine years Abraham Dicker- man bought the place on the corner of Church and Elm streets, diagonally across from the Green. This had belonged originally to Richard Perry, who sold it to Thomas Kimberly, by whom it was deeded April 17, 1668, to Abraham Dickerman. There was a house on the lot with a barn and the new owner made this his home. His brother-in-law, John Cooper, Jr., had married not long before and the old homestead went into his hands. In the following year, April 26, 1669, he was chosen Townsman, his father-in-law being also chosen to the same office for the ninth time ; and henceforward these two names occur together for eighteen consecutive years, with the exception of a single term in which the son's name is missed. With the exception of four years Abraham Dickerman was annually chosen to this office for thirty- one years, from 1669 to 1699 inclusive. In 1683 he was chosen Deputy to the Connecticut General Assembly and was re-elected with similar regularity until 1696. There were usually two sessions annually, and he served for twenty-one terms. • At the same time that he was chosen Deputy, Oct. 1683, he was confirmed and approved to be Lieutenant of the New Haven Traine Band, Moses Mansfield being appointed Captain at the same time. An event of great importance at this period was the laying out of the town of Wallingford and the planting of a settlement there. Many New Haven people joined the enterprise and removed to make their homes in the new community. At theii head was Rev. Samuel Street, son of the pastor, Rev. Nicholas Street who had been graduated at Harvard College in 1664 and had taught the Hopkins Grammar school for ten years ; and with him were about forty other men and their families. 148 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. This colony was the child of New Haven as truly as its minister was the son of the New Haven pastor, and the connection between the two places has been close and happy, even to the present day. It is interesting to notice that among those who represented New Haven in looking after this colony we find both John Cooper and Abraham Dickerman. First, the two were on a com mittee of thirteen to lay out the boundaries, which they agreed upon Jan. 28, 1673-4. Next, in a committee of six, three from among the new settlers and three from New Haven ; the two with Moses Mansfield represent the mother town in finally settling and deciding the boundary lines, May 12, 1674. There was also a standing committee of the town of New Haven, appointed in 1669, and vested with power to manage the affairs of the settlement, holding the land in trust and acting as trustees in public affairs ; attending not only to secular concerns but also to those of the church. This committee consisted of Gov. William Jones, Matthew Gilbert, William Bradley, John Harri- man, John Humiston, Abraham Dickerman and Jeremiah Osborn. A fuller account of these committees and of their work may be found in Davis' History of Wallingford. June 19, 1685, Abraham Dickerman was appointed on a com mittee " to procure a patent for the town bounds " of New Haven, the other members being Gov. William Jones, John Nash, Moses Mansfield, Thomas Trowbridge and John Ailing, Jr. The patent was granted Jan. 6, 1685, to this committee " and the rest of the proprietors of the town." The charter was renewed Oct. 20, 1704, specifying William Jones, Abraham Dickerman and John Ailing as the only survivors of this committee. On the same day, June 19, 1685, action was taken for the settle ment of Rev. James Pierpont as minister of the church, and Capt. Moses Mansfield and Lieut. Abraham Dickerman were appointed " to make an instrument according to law for passing grants the town had made to Mr. Pierpont that they might be his property according to law, if he settle in Office with us." These grants included 150 acres of upland, 7 acres of salt marsh and 12 acres of bog meadow. At the next town meeting in December, Capt. Mansfield presented Mr. Pierpont's "grateful acknowledge ments." Two years later the town authorized the same committee to make a small addition to this grant ; and again, in 1696, they were appointed to carry into effect another grant of land. ABRAHAM DICKERMAN. 149 The question of a new meeting-house began to be agitated at about this time, and in 1697 the town voted to "build of stone and brick." There was too little interest in the movement, how ever, to put it through, and nothing was done. Sometime after ward at a town meeting, " Lieut. Abraham Dickerman, one of the Townsmen, informed the town that the occasion of the meeting was to consider of either building a new or enlarging the old meeting-house." The conclusion was to enlarge the old house, which in due time was accomplished. It is interesting to see what safeguards this community pro vided against intemperance. These were in the way of having an "ordinary" or authorized inn, and making this the only place where wine or strong drink could be sold. On one occasion, between 1648 and 1649, the ordinary being closed, wine was sold by a dealer in private, and the chief patron was the Governor, " who obtained it at great charge for the ship carpenters that came from the Bay to work upon the ship," for which he had to make explanations to the Court and pay a fine of 40 shillings. The patronage was so small that the ordinary did not pay and William Andrews, who had kept it, asked the town to help in its support. Mr. Andrews was an honored man, having been one of the twelve founders and a member of the Court, and there was a disposition to grant him some aid, but not enough to warrant him in continuing the business. His successor, John Harriman, managed it from 1649 till 1671, when he declined to do so any longer. The town earnestly desired him to continue, but he was not willing, and it was left with the Townsmen "to consider the matter and endeavor to pre pare some meet person." The result was that at the next meeting June 26, 167 1, "Abraham Dickerman was by vote appointed to keep the ordinary.'7 He consented to do it " on trial " but found the business as unsatisfactory as the others had done. A great difficulty was the lack of currency. People used " wampum " for small change, and this was not easily turned into gold or silver, nor was it taken in payment of bills. After a fair trial he gave notice of his desire to lay down the business, and again, April 27, 1675, he asked the town to provide another person to keep it. But the other person was not forthcoming and the same arrangement remained four years longer. 150 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. April 27, 1680, "Abraham Dickerman did again give notice (as he had done formerly), of his purpose to leave off keeping the ordinary, and did not see a course taken to settling of another in that work ; but did desire it might not be offensive if he left it off, which he did intend to do." All this shows a marked contrast to present conditions, not only in this business but in the habits of the people. The New Haveners of the first century cannot have been excessively con vivial. Still they had their temptations, as the following vote tells us : Oct. 1, 1694, "Whereas, some inconvenience is observed in the use of Rum or Strong Drink at Funerals, the Town reccommends it to the inhabitants that may from time to time be concerned, that they would use their liberty and prudence in laying down the custom for the future, only as there may be need of some refreshing in a private way by persons living remote." Two other entries in the records tell of the neighborly feeling that prevailed, and of measures for the relief of the poor. Feb. 12, 1671. "Abraham Dickerman propoundid unto ye towne about a poore fellow named Richard Bloxum : yl he had kept him six weekes & could not tell how to keep him any longer, therefore he desired they would consider some way for his dispose. Mr. Jones acquainted ye towne what means had been used by the Authorities to free ye towne of him. The towne after debate and consideration agreed that some cloathing (soe much as is necessary) be provided for Richard Bloxum at the towns charge, and y' what is already expended & what is necessary for his livelihood for the future be payd out of the towne treasury. John Cooper senior, Jno. Winston & Jeremiah Osborne were desired and appointed to look after the providing for Richard Bloxum according to ye former order." fan. 18, 1685. " In the case of Richard Newman who had Sustained great loss by fire burning his house and goods, the town declared a willingness to help him by a public collection the next Sabbath day, and it was desired that such as gave in Bills would pay in what they will pay if in Corn or Wool, and such as pay in Corn would carry it unto Thomas Tuttle who now promised to receive it for the poor man." The Townsman's tasks were manifold and without end. Because the settlement was new and on a new plan all sorts of questions were arising which called for careful thought, shrewd management and untiring industry. In the old country there were precedents to guide in the conduct of affairs, but here things had to be done every day for which there was no precedent. The only law to apply was common sense. ABRAHAM DICKERMAN. 151 Among the hardest duties were those involved in the grant of individual privileges and the distribution of public lands. All the ground within the boundaries of the town belonged originally to the proprietors in common. Assignments were made to individ uals, usually by lot, and at the outset in small holdings, as they were able to take care of the ground. But as time went on every man of enterprise wished to enlarge his estate. A new field was wanted here and there for conven ience of " fencing " or to straighten a line — a small piece of meadow, or a bit of swamp, or a corner of upland. One person wishes to buy a field of the town, another asks " that he may get out four thousand pipe staves in the commons ;" another wants a mill site on a stream, and another, encouragement for starting a brickyard. General legislation is impossible. Every one of these cases has to be treated on its own particular merits. The Townsmen were the board to look into all these things and advise the town what action to take, as in the following minute : Dec. 25, idgg. " The town by vote do appoint and empower Lieut. Abraham Dickerman and Sergt. Thomas Talmadge in the name of the Town to make con veyance of and to receive any conveyance for any land exchanged with or sold to any particular person or persons." Then, all matters of public interest were in their care. They were expected to take the lead in every movement for the benefit of the community from "ringing and yoking the swine" that ranged the commons to " seating the meeting-house." It seems surprising that busy, hard working men, with large families to support, should have been willing to carry these bur dens year after year without compensation. It may have been in part because they felt the dignity of such a trust from their neigh bors, or perhaps because they had a love of civic affairs, a fond ness for the problems that came up for their study and solution. But possibly there were higher motives. Did they see the signifi cance of their work as founders of a state ? Did they draw inspiration from the possibilities which were then in the bud ? Did they have a glimmering consciousness of their opportunity and throw their thought and their toil into the hour, as sowers whose hearts were in the future ? Abraham Dickerman lived to the age of 77. For 53 years he was in New Haven, and the annals of the place tell of a simple, 152 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. self-forgetting devotion to the public good. If the devotion had not been unselfish and entire the people would not have kept him at the front so steadily and so long. He had scant time to look after his own interests. We go over the records with a thought that we may come upon evidence of personal advantages accruing from his place, but we do not find it. Nothing is accorded to any of the Townsmen which is not equally open to all citizens. Still he was moderately prosperous. From time to time he bought valuable lots and thus added to the property his father- in-law gave him. Besides the homestead he had of Thomas Kim- berly, he obtained 27 acres of James Russell, 23 acres of Matthew Ford, 3 acres of Benjamin Wilmot, and 8 acres or more that had belonged to the widow Johnson ; also other real estate referred to in his will. He shared, of course, with other citizens in the sev eral allotments of public land, and received in this way at least 50 acres. This, with careful management, gave him a competence, though he was not rich. In 1680 he was rated at &6J,. 18s. ; in 1683, at 134^, and in 1702 at 121^. His will, drawn about a year and a half before his death, is here given : The last will and Testament of Abram Dickerman is as follows : and first of all I do committ my precious soule into ye hands of God in Jesus Christ and my body to ye earth at ye discretion of my Executors hereafter named in hopes of a glorious resurrection through Jesus Christ my great redeemer, — And as for yl portion of outward good things God has been pleased to give me I give and bequeath as followeth — Imprimis. As I have given my Son Abram the house and homestead he now dwells on, Soe I do give my new house built on ye lott I bought of mr. Davenport with the whole of that lott except two acres at the further end which I give to my Son Isaac with my dwelling house and home stead, with five acres of land, lyeing behind Michael Todds Land, as also two oxen and two cows and one horse and cart & plow and furniture to ym. — And then I give to my two Sons Abram & Isaac all ye rest of my land & meadows except twenty acres I have given Josiah Todd near ye blue hills. — And then I give to my Daughters Mary Bassett, Sarah Spery, Ruth Bradley, Abigaill Spery, Rebeccah Foot, in addition to what they have had, all my moveables in ye House to be equally divided to them. — Also I give to my grand children, Dan- iell Chidsey, Caleb Chidsey, Abram Chidsey and Mary Chidsey Forty shillings a peice to be paid by my Executors. — Also I give further to my two sons Abram & Isaac all my cloths and Tools and books & arms.

ABRAHAM2 DICKERMAN'S CHILDREN. " For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord to do justice and judgment." — Genesis, xviii. ig. There are two modes of power, one direct, the other indirect. A man may exert influence by his own life and conduct, or by the life and conduct of those whom he leaves to be his represen tatives, as in the case of his children. Many have wrought effectively in both ways, and so extensive has been the influence exerted in each that one hesitates to say which was the wider. We have an example of this in Rev. James Pierpont. He was the minister of the New Haven church for thirty years and his work was fruitful in a large way. Among other things he bore a leading part in the founding of Yale College. But at the same time there was growing up in his home that gifted child who became the wife of Jonathan Edwards and mother of a family whose sons and daughters have molded prevailing thought for a hundred and fifty years. Taking into view his influence in each of these ways, one hesitates to say which was the greater. And the same may be said of those to whom Mr. Pierpont min istered. Whatever they accomplished in laying the foundations of a new commonwealth, that was only one phase of their work. This will be found true of the " Townsman " Abraham Dicker- man, who attended the ministry of Mr. Pierpont. He did much by his direct and immediate efforts for the people among whom he lived. We cannot review that half century of his life without being impressed with this. But if anyone should conclude that this was all he did for New Haven it would be a very serious mistake. He, too, did a work in his home that was to tell in lasting influences. The proofs will appear in the glimpses we gain of the life and character of his descendants. 156 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN.

Extending to the northward from New Haven for a distance of eight miles is a valley, having East Rock on the right hand, West Rock on the left, and at the head of the valley another range, formerly called The Blue Hills, but now known as Mt. Carmel. The name of the town comprising this whole valley is Harnden, so named undoubtedly in honor of John Hampden, the champion of English popular rights. But the northern part of the valley is called, from the steep hills under whose brow it reposes, Mt. Car-mel. Until within thirty or forty years the people of this parish were nearly all embraced under three or four names, Ives, Dickerman, Bradley and Hitchcock ; and research shows that most of these were descended from Abraham2 Dickerman. This will be seen in accounts of other families, as the record proceeds. At the extremity of the valley there is a notch in the hills through which the road goes towards Cheshire. This notch was called in old times " The Steps," and aged people of the neighbor hood will recognize this as a familiar term in their youthful days. CHART VI.

Just beyond " The Steps " a road leads off from the main turn pike to the west, and at the head of this road was the house of Samuel Hitchcock. About a mile to the south another road leads eastward and crosses the river towards North Haven. Just before crossing the river, on the right hand, is the homestead of Elam Ives, recently owned by his son, Lucius8 Ives, now deceased, and still belonging to the family. Across the river, a little to the east, lies the older homestead where Elam Ives was born and reared. This is now in possession of Henry Todd, who is a great grandson of James and Sarah (Tuttle) Ives*, and inherits the place from his grandfather, Eber Ives, whose daughter Easter was the first wife of Loyal Todd, Esq.

Jan. 7, 1733, the other the daughter of Josiah, b. March 25, 1723. The inscription on the gravestone of Mrs. Ives at Centerville, Harnden, Conn., reads: "In memory 0/ Mrs. Sarah Ives, Consort 0/ Mr. James Ives, who died Jan. 21, A.D. i7Qb, j*E. 74." This shows that the time of her birth coincides with that of Josiah Tuttle's daughter. The Tuttle Family, p. 3b, supposes her to be the wife of Benjamin Warner, Jr., who was born May 2, 1730, and was therefore seven years younger than she ; while James Ives is supposed to have married the daughter of Amos, p. 30S. This Sarah Tuttle would have been of suitable age for Mr. Warner, and doubtless the two names have been interchanged by mistake. James Ives, b. Oct. 19, 1718, d. May 14, 1304, se. 85. m.

Martha Cur- new, res. at the old homestead, at Mt. Carmel. He was a soldier in the Union Army ; enlisted in 1862 at the organization of Co. I, 20 Reg. C. V., and was promoted to be Sergeant. He served through the war and was mustered out with his regiment, having earned a high reputation for bravery and soldierly fidelity. The Captain of his Company, Major Ezra D.1 Dickerman, said of him : " I remember a remarkable incident which showed his fearlessness. It hap pened at the battle of Gettysburg. He had been delegated for a short time to carry off the bodies of the wounded, and the company had shifted its position from a slight elevation, over which shot and shell swept like rain in a storm. It was found that a member of the company had been left wounded on the ele vation. Ives coolly went back, and amid the hail of shot, carried off his man. He was as brave as a lion." This Captain and he were shot almost at the same instant at the battle of Peachtree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864, and were supposed to be killed, but both finally recovered. They had been companions from childhood and their war experiences united them in a still closer friendship. Mr. Ives's wound was from a minie ball that passed through his neck, having struck him in the cheek, and it continued to cause him pain and trouble to the end of life. i. George10. ii.

Carmel, was a man of great native force and unyielding persistence in whatever he undertook. During the war of 181 2 he established a freight line between Boston and New York, under the manage ment of his two sons, Parsons8 and Jason8, then at the ages of twenty and fifteen. The spirit of enterprise thus early shown has marked the later history of the family, and has been, perhaps, the chief factor in changing this old farming community into a man ufacturing village. Parsons8 and Jason8 began the manufacture of iron axles by machinery in 1833, and were aided by their brothers Henry8 and James.8 This business was continued and developed by Henry and his son Frederick9, and became large and prosperous. James8 was the leading spirit in various manufacturing indus tries throughout his life. At the age of seventeen he put himself to learning the trade of a mechanic and followed mechanical pur suits ever after with eager interest. Possessed of unusual inge nuity, he made many valuable discoveries and obtained patents on a number of inventions. His principal business was the manu facture of carriage and harness hardware, which had been unknown in this country till he introduced it. He was a public spirited citizen, watchful for the welfare of the community and assiduous in efforts for the church and other good institutions. James Ives 1815-1889 CALEB CHIDSEY'S FAMILY. 169 Lucius8 was also prominent in the church, and was an efficient worker in the Sunday School and in temperance reform. Many of the family were gifted as musicians. Elam8 and Wil liam8 were successful music teachers and made this their calling ; they were also composers and publishers of music. Julius8 and the sister, Mrs. Mary8 Dickerman, were also very musical, and several of the grandchildren have been successful instructors in the same art. Of the thirteen sons and daughters, ten lived to be over fifty ; six passed the boundary of three-score and ten, and four, Jason8, Julius8, Lucius8 and James8 observed their golden weddings.

John and Elizabeth Chidsey, b. Nov. 20, 1661, d. Feb. 20, 1713, ae. 52. His first wife was Anna Thompson, whom he m. May 10, 1688. She died Jan. 15, 1692. "Dea. John Chidsey signed the Colony Constitution 1644, being then about twenty-three years of age ; he removed to Stoney River (that is East Haven) 1681. This name in England is spelled Chedsey, and is the name of a town. And so it appears on the old records and monuments. It was so used by the sons of John Chedsey. It has since been changed to Chidsey." — Dodd's East Haven Register. The father was a man of large family and small property ; recorded in 1680 as having 10 heads, an estate of 18^. and entitled to 40 acres of land in the division of that time. His control of his children is shown in a minute of the town meeting Dec. 26, 1687 : " Dea. John Chedsey objects against the election of his son Caleb Chedsey to be constable, being one of his family and under his government." As the young man was then twenty-six years old, we see that parental authority was continued later than it is now. The high esteem in which the family was held is proved by the choice of both father and son to the office of deacon. I. Daniel4 Chidsey, b. March 25, 1695, d. Oct. 27, 1716. II. Caleb4 Chidsey, b.

William Bradley, the father of Nathaniel, is said to have been the first white resident of North Haven. He came into possession of a farm previously owned by Francis Brewster, who had one hundred and fifty-four acres of upland and thirty-three of mead ow, on the west side of the Quinnipiac. James4 Bradley bought about four hundred acres of land in North Haven in 1724. His name and that of his wife are the first on the roll of the North Haven Church manual. Obed6 Bradley's daughter Deborah6 married Glover" Street, dau. of Glover6 and Lydia (Allen) Street (Samuel4, Samuel3, Sam uel2, Nicholas1) of North Haven. Their son, Whiting7 Street, lived in Holyoke, Mass., and left an estate of nearly half a million, a large part of which was given in his will to various benevolent objects. CHAPTER IX. SPERRY FARM AT AMITY. "We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven The great body of intel ligence among our people surrounds and overpowers our petty dissensions as the sun's great mass of fire diminishes and destroys his spots." — Benjamin Franklin to David Hartley in 1783. There is an education of the fields and the woods as well as of the schools. It may not be easy to define this, for there are no theses written, no diplomas given, no degrees conferred ; but in the strenuous movements of a nation's life this education is felt. There is a parade of power, and there are powers that make no parade, only bring things to pass. People who live in the country are handling quiet forces, but these are forces still. The daily round in such a place is a training to deal with actualities and to deal with them strongly. This is why country boys, notwithstanding a certain awkwardness and lack of polish, rank so well. And what of the hereditary traits that are passed down from parents to their sons and daughters — where are they likeliest to be sound ? If we could put side by side the children of a hundred years in the counting-house, in the mill, in the mine, and the children of a hundred years on a farm, which would come to the front ? Which would show the healthiest body, nerves most in tone, a brain to work the hardest and the longest ? Which would be quickest to see, boldest to do, and bravest to bear the brunt of struggle ? Forty years ago the strength of America was in her country people. Where is it to-day ? Where will it be forty years to come ? In cities ? Then must cities be better than the country. It will not be enough that multitudes are there and activities are intense. The multitudes must be virtuous and their activities in righteousness. Homes must be purer on the avenue and in the alley than on the farm and in the woods. Family life must be fuller and sweeter. SPERRY FARM AT AMITY. l8l Children must be more happily born, must pass their childhood under a wiser parental oversight, and grow up not in slavery to crippling artificialities but amid influences tonic of high purpose and worthy conduct. Wherever such conditions have scope, whether in palace or cabin, in swarming metropolis or dreary solitude, there will be found the elements of a nation's strength. This makes the study of communities and of families interesting. By going up the stream of generations past we may learn the laws by which the stream is flowing on. Richard Sperry was among the early settlers of New Haven, though not one of the original planters. His name occurs Jan. 4, 1643, and again in the Court records May 2, 1648, where the entry is : " Richard Sperry was complained of for not coming to watch, but Mr. Goodier answered for him that when he was neare comeing from the farme they wanted an oxe ; the neager said he was sicke and left in the woods ; so he was faine to goe forth to seeke hime least he should be lost." President Stiles says that Stephen Goodyear, " a rich settler bought of the town a tract of a thousand or twelve hundred acres of land in the fertile valley to the westward of West Rock and planted on it his farmer Richard Sperry, which farm Richard Sperry afterwards became possessed of, and it was known as Sperry's Farm. On this tract Mr. Goodyear built Sperry a house ; and in the woods about a mile south-west stood the house of Ralph Lines. These were the only two houses in 1661 between West Rock and Hudson River, except a few at Derby. All was an immense wilderness." This allusion is made in describing the part which Richard Sperry played in protecting the regicides, Goffe and Whalley. At the time when pursuers from England were trying to ferret out their hiding place, three friends, William Jones, Richard Sperry and another by the name of Burril, led them out of town into this wilderness, and here they were kept safely concealed. The first retreat was at a place three or four milSs from town to which the fugitives gave the name of " Hatchet Harbor," from a hatchet they found with which to build a shelter. Then after two nights they were taken up the cliff, which they named "Providence Hill," and here a pile of huge rocks was shown them under whose 1 82 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. arching sides a better lodging could be made, while the elevation gave a commanding view of the town and the bay. This group of rocks is still known as " The Judges' Cave." Here they continued from the 15th of May to the nth of June 1661 : usually spending their nights at the cave, as well as days, but sometimes in stormy weather going down to the house of their guardian. " Richard Sperry daily supplied them with food ; some times carrying it himself, at other times sending it by one of his boys, tied up in a cloth, ordering them to lay it on a certain stump and leave it : and when the boy went there at night he always found the basons emptied of the provisions, and brought them home. Upon the boy's wondering and asking what it meant he was told that there was somebody at work in the woods that wanted it." One night a panther, or some other wild animal, visited them at this spot and frightened them so that they dared not sleep there again and had to find another place to hide. Probably Richard Sperry was the only person who knew their exact whereabouts, and he kept the secret so well that the king's officers pursued a vain search. Nathaniel Sperry's name is in the list of those to whom land was allotted April 3, 1704. There were ten in his family. His estate was rated in 1683 at 73 £, and in 1702 at 88 £. He had 36*4 acres of sequestered land and received at that time tl?>% acres more. It is not clear when his wife Sarah died, but he seems to have had a second wife at the time of his own death, who is mentioned in his will, dated Dec. 3, 1729, and proved April 7, 1735. In it are these clauses. " I give unto Esther my dearly beloved wife morethan I covenanted to give her in marriage, that is to say ye privilege of one room in my house and all convenien ces of cellar, oven and well, as she shall need, so long as she bears my name, and my two sons Nathaniel and Joshua to provide for her one good cow and to provide for her keeping summer and winter, also to find for my said wife suf ficient fire wood summer and winter ; but if she shall choose to live elsewhere, . . . my two sons Nathaniel and Joshua shall pay to her the sum of three pounds as money in ye form aforesaid, but no longer. To my grandchildren, children of my daughter Sarah as they come of age and marry, to each of them the sum of twenty shillings. To my five daughters Rachel, Lydia, Rebeckah, Hannah and Thankful, four pounds apeice. SPERRY FARM AT AMITY. 183 To my daughter in law Mary wife of Joel Monson the sum of forty shillings. To my three sons Nathaniel, Joshua and Enos, . . (houses, real estate, etc.) also my Sabbath Day House at ye town and ye land that adjoins it." When this will was drawn, the time was approaching for stormy dissensions in the New Haven church, and for the establishment of another society. There may have been premonition of this already which led to an additional clause about the Sabbath day house. " provided that if either son become seperated from the First Society by removing or otherwise, he or they shall not sell to a stranger his or their part, but to the Brother or Brothers at the time who shall abide in the said First Society, and at ye price of five pounds for one third part." With the growth of the people in numbers change was inevitable. Families living so far from the center of the town gradually came to interest themselves more in their own neighborhood and less in the larger community. This was the more natural because the children, as they grew up and married, were apt to settle near the old place, so that the neighborhood was usually one of brothers and sisters and cousins. Thus it was in the neighborhood of "Sperry's Farm." It became a Sperry neighborhood, and it has continued so to the present time. Other family names appear, as Lines, Perkins, Hotchkiss. Peck, Johnson, but these will be found so united together by intermarriage that most of the present people through one line or another are from common ancestors. Thus the tenure of the original " farmer Sperry " has continued for two hundred and fifty years in the persons of his descendants.* * Richard Sperry had ten children and over sixty grandchildren.

Aug. 6, 1708, living in 1729. We are indebted to Hon. N. D.7 Sperry of New Haven for reminiscences of his early home life. His grandfather, Simeon6 Sperry, was born in Woodbridge, then a part of New Haven, and lived and died there. He was a small manufacturer and farmer, and held some minor town offices. Naturally retiring, his family life was exemplary in all respects. He was a man of great decision, of undoubted integrity, and enjoyed the confidence of all who knew him. Enoch8 Sperry, son of Simeon Sperry, was also born in Wood- bridge, and lived on what is known as Sperry's Farm, at the place where the grist-mill and the carding-machine-mill were located. This was where the colonists of a very early time ground their grain and had their wool carded, spun and woven into cloth. He, like his father before him, was also a small manufacturer and farmer and held a few town offices. A natural mathematician, he would solve the most difficult problems in his own way without the rules of ordinary arithmetics. His home life was beautiful. He always had family devotions, and was a sincere Christian, a man of the highest integrity, and one who would go farther than most men to assist those in, distress or need. Greatly interested HON. NEHEMIAH D.' SPERRY. 187 in matters of the day, he would discuss political and religious sub jects with great freedom and intelligence. Outside of business his chief delight was in church affairs. He was a member of the Congregational church, and often moderator of their meetings ; he was chosen to settle disputes both in and out of the church, and his decisions were seldom questioned. L. W.7 Sperry, the oldest son of Enoch Sperry, was engaged in the lumber and coal business in New Haven and Hartford. He was a member of the State Legislature in the lower house ; and of the Senate for two terms : he was Mayor of New Haven ; also Bank Commissioner of the State. Stiles D.7 Sperry was a merchant in New Haven for many years. He was elected treasurer of the State Savings Bank at Hartford and served in that capacity until his death. He was a Represen tative from Hartford in the General Assembly for two terms, and held high and influential positions in Masonic institutions. Laura A.7 Sperry was a school teacher in early life and married Andrew J. Ramsdell. She lives in Brooklyn and has two children. E. Knight7 Sperry is a merchant. He was for several years the book-keeper of the City Bank at New Haven. He was appointed by President Lincoln Consul at Barbadoes, and served about two years. He married Sarah A. Treat, daughter of Jonah N. Treat, and now lives in New Haven and has charge of the Treat estate. The History of the City of New Haven by Edward E. Atwater con tains a biographical sketch of Hon. N. D.7 Sperry, from which the following is mostly taken. " His education was chiefly obtained in the district school-house. It was a plain, low house, standing beneath three elms. Its one room, rudely furnished with slabs, and warmed in winter by a large open fire, accommodated about fifty-five scholars. Often here in the evenings social religious meetings were held, the ladies bring ing their silver, brass or glass candlesticks. While he was yet lit tle more than a boy, he began to teach and continued to do so dur ing the winter months for several years. The last season of his teaching he received the highest salary paid in Connecticut for district-school teaching. The Committee having in charge several schools, offered a prize to the one which should make the greatest improvement. This prize was awarded to Mr. Sperry's school." Having learned the trade of a mason builder, he formed a busi ness partnership with his brother-in-law, Willis M. Smith, and to 1 88 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. this firm New Haven owes many of its finest and most important buildings. A man of activity, ambition and public spirit, he interested him self in many enterprises for public improvement. He organized the first street railroad in the State and subsequently secured most of the legislation respecting such roads. He was also an active promoter of the New Haven and Derby Railroad. Entering the political field, he was elected Secretary of State for two successive terms. While he held that office the constitutional amendment making reading a qualification for voting was pre pared at his suggestion, and carried into effect. He was a member of the National American Convention at Philadelphia in 1855, and one of the committee on platform. The fight in the committee was on the question of slavery. He took the anti-slavery side and was in the minority by one vote. A majority report was made, and also a report of the minority. The majority report was carried; whereupon the anti-slavery men left the convention in a body, and passed what is known as the Girard House Resolution. This was the first bolt in a national convention on the subject of slavery. From this time Mr. Sperry affiliated with the Republican party. He was a member of the convention in 1856 which nominated John C. Fremont for the presidency. He was soon Chairman of the State Republican Committee, a position he held for many years, and under his management the State was always Republican. He was efficient in securing the election of Governor Buckingham, and then in the nomination and election of President Lincoln. He was Secretary of the National Republican Committee, a Dele gate to the Baltimore convention which renominated Mr. Lincoln, and one of the Executive Committee of seven which had in charge the campaign which resulted in his re-election. He contributed much to the success of the Government in the war. He was chairman of the Recruiting Committee to furnish New Haven's quota of troops. When the Monitor was built, he became a bondsman for the builders. He was on intimate terms with President Lincoln and his advisers, with whom his opinions had much weight. He was President of the State Republican Convention which named General Grant for the presidency and was one of his earliest supporters in Connecticut. On the accession of President Lincoln, Mr. Sperry was appointed EBENEZER SPERRY'S FAMILY. 189 Postmaster at New Haven and held the position till May 6, 1885. He received the appointment again under President Harrison and retained it till President Cleveland's second administration. In all he was postmaster for twenty-eight years and two months : and under him the New Haven office became famous for the superior ity of its mail service. He was elected Representative of the Second Connecticut District in the Fifty-fourth Congress, and has served on the Com mittee for Post Offices and Post Roads, also on the Committee of Expenditures in the Post Office Department. His long life, full of eventful experiences, gives him great influence in national concerns, as well as in the more restricted sphere of the city where he lives.

Having already given to my son Abraham about fourscore acres of land in Wallingford .... I confirm this as his portion of the estate. To my loving son Isaac my fifth division lott in New Haven, etc. To my two younger sons Jacob and Amos in equal shares my dwelling-house and ye corn mill, with all my homestead and other lands lying at or near the place commonly called Sperry Farm, and all my sequestered land. To my three daughters, Ruth, Dennis and Sarah, to each, one cow, one feather bed, one pair of sheets and two blankets, and then ye remainder of my movable estate to be divided equally among them, and after my wife's decease to have equal right to my Mulatto Girl aforesaid, that is until she arrives at ye age of forty years, and then and thenceforward my will and pleasure is that ye said Mulatto Girl shall be made free, provided my children and estate be well and sufficiently secured from charges on her account." The will of Abigail Sperry, dated Jan. 13, 1751-2, proved March 3, 1752, presented in Court by John Wilmot, Jacob Sperry and Amos Sperry, is as follows : 190 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. " I Abigail Sperry, widow, of the Society of Amity (Woodbridge) .... being advanced in years and very sick, yet of sound mind and of perfect memory, calling to mind my own mortality y' in a little time I must dye, and am desirous to set my house in order before I depart I appoint Ephraim Morris, my son-in-law, sole executor, .... I give to my three surviving sons, Abraham, Jacob and Amos Sperry, five pounds old Tenor each .... also five pounds to the heirs of my son Isaac Sperry lately deceased. I give unto Dennis Bradley wife of Andrew Bradley, my grand-child, my young mare about six years old, one of my best cows, my best feather bed, bolster and pillow, three coverlets and a pair of blankets, two pair of sheets, two pair of pillow cases, a brown Colonial chest with one draw, a table with one draw, three sleys for weaving, one thirty, one twenty-six, one twenty-three leers, one linnen wheel. . . I give to my three daghters, Ruth Morris, Denis Wilmot and Sarah Beecher all the remaining part of my estate, moneys, creatures, household goods, orna ments and wearing apparel to be equally divided among them." The people of Woodbridge, or the ancient " society of Amity," held a celebration June 7, 1893, in commemoration of the found ing of their church one hundred and fifty years before. The pastor, Rev. S. P. Marvin, in his review, made allusion to the prominent position of Mrs. Abigail Sperry in the early days of the church. It was the custom then to rank the people by different degrees of social standing and to indicate the rank of each by the seat given them in the meeting house. They " dignified " the pews and then " dignified " the people to correspond, by their assignments. Most of these were arranged by a committee. But at Amity the people voted for one person to have the first rank on the men's side of the house, and another in like manner for the women's side. This vote was for Mrs. Abigail Sperry to hold the seat of highest dignity among the women. She was then at an advanced age, being seventy-two years old, and this testimonial of the esteem in which she was held by the community must have been a graceful tribute to a worthy life. I.

Dr. Lyman6 Beecher in his "Autobiography" speaks of his great-grandfather, Joseph Beecher, as a man " of great muscular strength," and of his grandfather, Nathaniel Beecher, as " six feet high, and a blacksmith by trade, having his anvil on the stump of the old oak tree under which Davenport preached the first sermon." He says also of his grandmother, Sarah Beecher, that "she was a pious woman," and that he had among his papers a curious relic, LYMAN6 BEECHER AND HIS FAMILY. 199 entitled "Sarah Beecher, her experiences," in which she mentions being born of parents who, by instruction and example, taught her to serve God."* He says of his father, Davids Beecher, that " he was short like his mother, and was also a blacksmith, working on the same anvil his father had used before him. He was one of the best read men in New England, interested in study, discussion and politics, and enjoyed the respect of educated circles." He adds that " his own height was that of his father, five feet seven and a half inches, and that he had the same colored hair, eyes and complexion," though Dr. Beecher was "a little the heavier." Of his mother, Esther Lyman, he speaks as " of a joyous, spark ling, hopeful temperament, — tall, well proportioned, dignified in her movements, fair to look upon, intelligent in conversation, and in character lovely." It does not require profound study to see that two sharply con trasted types are here united. The husband is strong ; the wife is lovely. The ancestral traits on one side are those of great physi cal vigor ; those on the other side are finer and more ethereal. The Lyman family has been prolific in scholars and thinkers. A glance at the Triennial Catalogue of Yale College shows this. The same is true of the Pomeroys and Hawleys. From these three families there had been over thirty Yale graduates, while from the Beecher and Sperry families there had not been one, till Lyman Beecher began the list. Again, we see another of the finer type in Lyman Beecher's wife, Roxanna Foote. The Footes, Parsons, Wards and Hubbards, from whom she descended, were all conspicuous for their intellec- * Dr. Beecher says that one grandmother of David Beecher was a Roberts, and makes her the maternal grandmother. This is followed in "A Biography 0/ Rev. Henry Ward Beecher." But New Haven records indicate that she was the wife of Joseph Beecher and the paternat grandmother. Her name is given in his will as "Lydia," and in a deed March 30, 1706, as " Lidiah." William Robard's will, July 25, 1689, speaks of two "daughters Alis and Lydia" and "three daughters already married." This Lydia Robards would have been of suitable age for the wife of Joseph Beecher, who, according to the dates of his children's births, was married probably about 1693-4. It is noticeable that his oldest child, b. Jan. 28, 1695, was named " Allis," and his next daughter, b. Feb. 5, 1700-1, d. Feb. 23, 1725-6, was called " Lidiah." Dodd's " East Haven Register" which is followed by Savage, gives to William and Joanna Roberts two other daughters, "Anna, who m. Samuel Butler in 1712, and Abigail," but these were daughters of William Roberts, Jr., " Anna, b. Feb. *, 1688," " Abigail, b. June 29, 1696-7." " William Robarts d. Aug. 6, 1689, in the 72nd year of his age." '—Gravestone at Milford. Rev. E. E. Atwater, in his History of New Haven Colony, gives John Beecher as among the seven who preceded the main body of settlers, and thinks he was the one who died during the winter, leaving a widow Hannah and a son Isaac, whose names occur afterward. Isaac Beecher had five sons, John, Joseph, Isaac, Samuel and Eleazer, of whom an account may be found in The Tuttle Family, p. 634. 200 LYMAN" BEECHER. tual and social attainments ; and they continue so to the present time. His second wife was, also, of highly educated parents. Her father, Dr. Aaron Porter, was a successful physician in Portland, and her mother was a daughter of Hon. Richard King, of Scar borough, Maine, whose family was one of the most notable of that period. The blending of such diverse hereditary qualities needs to be taken into view in the study of such a man as Dr. Beecher, and of his remarkable family. Innumerable other things enter into the making up of a life, but ancestry is one thing, and by no means the least. Lyman6 Beecher was a puny babe and barely survived his birth. His mother died when he was two days old, and his aunt, the wife of Lot Benton, took him to her home on a farm at North Guilford, where he grew up like a farmer's boy, till at the age of eighteen he entered Yale College. Here he pursued theological studies, under President Dwight, as a part of his college course and was graduated in 1797. In 1799 he was ordained pastor of the Presby terian Church at East Hampton, Long Island, with a salary of $300.00, which was increased after five years to $400.00. To eke out a support his wife opened a school, in which he also gave some instruction. In 1806, he preached a sermon on Duelling, occasioned by the death of Alexander Hamilton, which was repeated before the Presbytery and elsewhere, till it awakened a wide interest and did much to create a sentiment that ultimately led to legislation against this evil. He resigned his pastorate in 1810, and was installed pastor of the Congregational church in Litchfield, Conn., where he continued sixteen years, and took rank as the foremost preacher of New England. Here he delivered, about 1812-14, six sermons on Intemperance, which were published and had a national influence. He took the lead in organizing the Bible Society, and the Mission ary and Education Societies, and became famous for his eloquence, courage, and intellectual power. Upon the rise of the Unitarian controversy, he took his position as the champion of conservative theology, and in 1826 was called to the Hanover Street Church in Boston to resist the movement led by Dr. Channing. He threw himself into this struggle with ardor and was sustained by a large following. CATHERINE E.7 BEECHER. 201 The importance of education at the West now began to attract attention and he was singled out as the man to stand at the front in this work. In 1832 he accepted an urgent call to the presidency of Lane Theological Seminary, near Cincinnati, a position which he held for twenty years, and in which he was nominally con tinued till his death. For the first ten years, he was also pastor of the Second Presbyterian church of Cincinnati. Soon after his coming there occurred a division in the seminary on the slavery question and a strong body left it to found Oberlin College. This greatly crippled the institution. In 1835 charges of heresy were brought against him and a trial was held in his church at which he was acquitted ; and on an appeal to the general synod he was acquitted again ; but the con troversy thus begun went on till the Presbyterian church was divided into two bodies, the Old School and the New School. He resigned the presidency of Lane Seminary in 1852, and returned to Boston for a little time, but the last ten years of his life were passed at Brooklyn, in a house of his own on Willow Street. Dr. Beecher was great as a preacher. He usually spoke without manuscript, but out of a mind full to overflowing. His more famous sermons were elaborated with extraordinary care before they were given to the press. " He stood unequalled for dialectic keenness, pungent appeal, lambent wit, vigor of thought and concentrated power of expression." He was bold, sincere, spir itual and aggressive, of great personal magnetism and indomitable will, a natural leader of men. Catherine Esther7 Beecher, as the eldest child in the family, was early inured to care and responsibility. When she was at the age of sixteen her mother died, and the charge of the household devolved upon her. What this involved in a minister's house of those times, and with seven younger brothers and sisters, may be imagined. She was the housekeeper for two years, until her father's second marriage. At the age of twenty-two a great sorrow came to her in the death of Prof. Alexander M. Fisher of Yale College, to whom she was betrothed. He was lost in a shipwreck on a voyage to Europe. She never married, but devoted herself to a life of earnest activity. In the same year, 1822, she opened a school for young ladies in Hartford, and was so successful that there were 160 pupils. She held that the physical and moral training of the young was quite 202 WILLIAM7 AND EDWARD' BEECHER. as important as any part of their education ; and that a house keeper is responsible for the health of all in her family, especially children and servants, who do not know how to care for themselves. She prepared valuable text-books on arithmetic, theology and mental and moral philosophy. After ten years in Hartford, she went with her father to Cincin nati and opened a ladies' seminary there, which she discontinued after two years, on account of failing health. She then entered upon an undertaking for the general education of women, and to unite American women in an effort to provide instruction for children who were without school advantages. She was engaged in this work for nearly forty years, organizing societies for training teachers, devising plans to supply the terri tories with good educators, writing, pleading and traveling with persistent energy and earnestness. She made her field of labor especially in the west and south and sought the aid of educated women everywhere. It is said that hundreds of the best teachers the west received went there under the system which she organized. She was the author of a large number of books on domestic, educational and religious subjects, which have been widely read and have had great influence. William Henry' Beecher was educated chiefly at home ; studied theology with his father and at Andover Seminary. In 1833 he received the honorary degree of M.A. from Yale College. Ordained at Newport, R. I., March 25, 1830, he held pastorates at Putnam and Zanesville, Ohio, Batavia, N. Y., Toledo, Euclid, and Chillicothe, Ohio, Reading and North Brookfield, Mass., and after 1870 lived at Chicago. Edward7 Beecher, the last survivor of his class and the oldest living graduate of the college before his death, was graduated at Yale in 1822. For two years after graduation he taught in the Hartford High School ; studied for less than a year at Andover Theological Seminary ; was tutor at Yale, and left this office to accept the pastorate of Park Street Congregational Church, Boston, where he was ordained Dec. 27, 1826. He was dismissed from this pastorate Oct. 28, 1830, to become President of Illinois College at Jacksonville, where he remained for over thirteen years. The honorary degree of D.D. was conferred on him by Marietta College in 1841. In March, 1844, he returned to Boston, as pastor of the Salem Street Church, which he served until Nov. MRS. PERKINS AND GEORGE7 BEECHER. 203 1855, being also senior editor of The Congregationalist from 1849 to 1853. From 1855 to 1871, he was pastor of the First Congrega tional Church of Galesburg, Ills. In 1872, he removed to Brook lyn, and for many years continued active in editorial and evangel istic work. In 1885, he took charge of a small Congregational Church in Parkville, a suburb of Brooklyn, which he served till he was disabled in 1889. He was a man of deep religious experience and ardent love to Christ. His influence upon the other children, especially his sister Harriet, was very marked. Among the more important of his publications were The Conflict of Ages (1853), The Concord of Ages (i860) and a Narrative of the Riots at Alton (1837). One of his sons is an Episcopal clergyman, Rev. F. W. Beecher of Anglica, and another, Eugene F. Beecher, graduated from Yale in 1867. Mary' Beecher, who married Thomas C. Perkins, Esq., a lawyer of Hartford, was a noble, lovely woman of whom her father said that she was more like her mother Roxanna Foote than any other in the family. Her son, Frederick Beecher8 Perkins, is an author of note, and has performed valuable service for public libraries. He has held the position of librarian in the Connecticut Historical Society, the Boston Public Library, and the Free Public Library of San Francisco, and has been editorially connected with various papers and magazines. Her eldest daughter is the wife of Rev. E. E. Hale, D.D., of Boston, a philanthropist and author, who is known and loved throughout the world. Their sons are all graduates of Harvard University and are men of rank, and their daughter, Ellen Day8 Hale, is an artist of distinction. George' Beecher was graduated at Yale in 1828, and after study ing theology was ordained to the gospel ministry in the Presbyte rian church. He engaged in pastoral work at Rochester, N. Y., and afterwards at Chillicothe, Ohio, where he was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun. A Memoir of George Beecher by his sister Catherine7 was published in 1844. His son George Buckingham8 Beecher was graduated from Yale in 1 86 1, and was pastor for a time of the Howe Street Congrega tional Church in New Haven. 204 HARRIET7 BEECHER STOWE. Harriet Elizabeth7 Beecher, left motherless at the age of four, was placed under her grandmother's care at Guilford, till after her father's second marriage. She then returned to her home and attended Litchfield Academy, till her sister opened the school in Hartford, when she became a pupil there. After one year, and at the age of fourteen, she began to assist in the course of instruction and taught a class in Butler's Analogy. She continued here as scholar and teacher while her sister remained in Hartford, and then went with her to Cincinnati and assisted in the school there. She compiled at this time an elementary geography for a western publisher, wrote lectures for her classes in history and composed some humorous sketches and poems. She frequently visited the slave states and acquired the knowl edge of southern life which appears in her subsequent writings. Fugitive slaves were sometimes sheltered in her house and helped by her husband, Prof. Stowe, and her brothers to escape to Canada. During the riots in 1836, when James G. Birney's press was destroyed, they were exposed to no little danger, and many a night Mrs. Stowe sank into uneasy slumber, expecting to be roused by a mob led by the agents of exasperated slave-holders. In 1850, her husband was called from his professorship at Lane Seminary to a chair in Bowdoin College, which led to their removal to Brunswick, Maine. The excitement caused by the enactment of the fugitive slave law was now at its height, and she entered into it with intense earnestness. It seemed to her as if slavery was about to be extended over the free states. Conversing with many benevolent, tender-hearted Christian men and women, she found that they did not sympathize with her views and were unmoved by her arguments. She concluded that it was because they did not realize what slavery meant. She determined to make them realize it, and wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, which was published in 185 1-2. Within five years, 500,000 copies were sold in the United States, and it has been translated into some twenty foreign languages. "The world knows the story of the wonderful book — how it aroused the North, England, the civilized world, to the possible horrors of American slavery, made the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law an impossibility, and stirred tens of thousands of growing youth and stalwart men to such depths that Kansas, Fremont and the Republican party, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, and Emancipation followed in quick succession. Not that the book did it all, but that it was the HENRY WARD7 BEECHER. 205 solvent of genius that precipitated the gathering Anti-Slavery sentiment and made it visible, ponderable, effective." Mrs. Stowe was once complimented by a neighbor on being the author of 1 Uncle Tom's Cabin,' and she replied ' I did not write it.' ' You didn't ! who did, then ? ' was the surprised ejaculation. ' God wrote it,' she continued, ' I merely did his dictation.' This was the beginning of her literary success ; and the position of power thus acquired was sustained by a multitude of other productions. Among these are "Dred," " Old Town Folks," "The Minister's Wooing]' " Little Pussy Willows," " House and Home Papers," "Men of our Times," and many more with which the public is familiar. She is also author of three hymns in the Plymouth Collection, Numbers 675, 676 and 677, set to a tune composed by her brother, Rev. Charles Beecher. Her heart has ever warmed toward the neglected and the lowly. In recent years, when passing the winter at Mandarin, Florida, she won her way to the love of the negroes there, and gave to some of them their first lessons in reading. These, with multitudes the world over, cherish her name in grateful remembrance. Her husband, Prof. Stowe, was a graduate of Bowdoin College, in 1824, studied theology at Andover, with the class of 1828 ; Professor of Greek at Dartmouth, 1830-32, of Sacred Literature at Lane Seminary, 1832-36, at Bowdoin, 1850-52, and at Andover, 1852-64; editor of The Boston Recorder, 1828, and author of many theological and religious publications. Mrs. Stowe passed her last years in her pleasant home at Hartford. Her life has been written and published by her son, Rev. Charles E." Stowe, who is pastor of the Congregational Church of Simsbury, Conn. Henry Ward7 Beecher had a strong desire when a boy to become a sailor, but, with the kindling of his religious life, entered into his father's aspirations for him and chose the calling of a minister. He attended the Boston Latin School, and Mount Pleasant Insti tute, at Amherst, Mass ; was graduated at Amherst College in 1834, and studied theology at Lane Seminary. His first pastorate was with the Presbyterian church at Lawrence- burg, Indiana, 1837-39, after which he accepted a call to the Pres byterian Church in Indianapolis, where he remained till 1847. He then became pastor of the newly organized Plymouth Church of Brooklyn, N. Y., with which he continued to the end of his life, a 206 HENRY WARD BEECHER'S LIFE WORK. period of forty years. After 1859, his sermons, reported by stenog raphers, were regularly published, and thus reached a multitude of readers, besides the congregation. He early became prominent as a platform speaker and lecturer, and brought his great powers of oratory to the discussion of political and practical topics in such a way as to command the convictions of those who heard him. He identified himself ardently with the anti-slavery movement, and with the Republican party, preaching political sermons and taking an active part in political meetings. Especially in the campaign of 1856, he was active with his pen, and addressed mass meetings throughout the northern states. In the darkest days of the war, in 1863, when British sentiment was largely with the cotton states and it seemed likely that the confederacy would be recognized, he visited Europe and addressed large audiences in the chief cities of Great Britain, with a view to enlighten popular opinion and remove misconceptions. These speeches were published in London and had great influence in changing the prevailing sentiment concerning the issues in America. In 1 87 1 one of his parishioners, Mr. Henry W. Sage, founded "The Lyman Beecher Lectureship," in Yale Divinity School, and Mr. Beecher gave the courses of lectures for the first three years. In 1874 occurred the trial, which attracted wide and painful attention. Through this trial and after it Mr. Beecher held on his course as pastor and preacher with unflagging energy and unin terrupted power, an achievement wholly without parallel. Editorial work has been a prominent feature of his career. In 1836, while in his theological course, he edited The Cincinnati Journal: during his pastorate at Indianapolis, an agricultural journal, The Farmer and Gardener ; later at Brooklyn, The Independent of New York, 1861-63 5 and finally after 1870 The Christian Union, which soon became one of the most influential periodicals of the country, and still continues its leadership under the name of The Outlook. The publications from his pen have been many and various. But these are so well known that it is needless to name them. His wife, Mrs. Eunice W. Beecher, has been his efficient and sympathetic companion in the varied experiences of his eventful life, and herself has written and published not a little of value. She survives him and contributes still to the press. CHARLES' AND THOMAS K.7 BEECHER. 207 Of their ten children only four are living, three sons, William C.8, Herbert8, and Henry", and a daughter, Harriet E.8, who is the wife of Rev. Samuel Scoville, of Stamford, Conn. The Life of Henry Ward Beecher has been written by Dr. Lyman Abbott, and also by members of his own family. Charles7 Beecher studied at the Boston Latin School and at Lawrence Academy, Groton, Mass. ; graduated at Bowdoin Col lege, 1834, and studied theology at Lane Seminary. Ordained pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church at Fort Wayne, Indiana, 1844, where he remained till 1851 ; pastor of the First Congrega tional Church of Newark, N. J., 1851-54; pastor First Congrega tional Church of Georgetown, Mass., 1857. He was in Florida from 1870 to 1877, and for two years was State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Later he was acting pastor at Wysox, Penn sylvania. He is a musician and was organist of the First Presby terian Church of New Orleans for Rev. Dr. Breckenridge, and at Indianapolis for Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. He selected the music for "Plymouth Collection," and is author of the hymn begin ning " We are on our journey home Where Christ our Lord is gone." He has published a number of books, " The Autobiography and Correspondence of Lyman Beecher" " Redeemer and Redeemed," "Eden Tableau" " Patonos or The Unveiling." His son, Frederick Henry8 Beecher, was born at New Orleans, La., June 22, 1841, and died Sep. 17, 1868, on the upper Republican river, Kansas. Graduated at Bowdoin College in 1862, he imme diately enlisted in the army. He became successively, Sergeant, Second Lieutenant and First Lieutenant, and was in the battles of the Army of the Potomac, from Fredericksburg to Gettysburg. He was twice severely wounded, but could not be persuaded to remain away from his command. He was commissioned in the regular army in .1864, and made First Lieutenant in July, 1866. He served with distinction on the western border and was killed by the Indians while scouting. Thomas Kinnicut' Beecher was graduated at Illinois College in 1843 ; principal of the Northeast Grammar School in Philadel phia, 1846-8, and then principal of the Hartford High School. In 1852 he gathered The New England Congregational Church in 208 MRS. HOOKER AND JAMES C.7 BEECHER. Williamsburg, now a part of Brooklyn, N. Y., and became its pastor. In 1854 he removed to Elmira, N. Y., to become pastor of the Independent Congregational Church, afterwards the Park Church of that city, and has continued in this position till the present time, 1896. For many years he edited a weekly " Miscellany," first in the Elmira "Advertiser" and afterward in the " Gazette," discussing, as they came up, the current questions of the day. He was Chaplain of the 141st Reg. N. Y. Vols, in 1863, and served with the army of the Potomac four months. He is known as an influential speaker and writer and is distinguished for his broad, unsectarian and philanthropic spirit. Isabella7 Beecher was educated in her sister Catherine's schools at Hartford and Cincinnati, and has been a diligent student of social, political and religious questions. She is well known in Women's Clubs, in meetings of many philanthropic societies and among the advocates of woman's rights. She has published " Womanhood, its Sanctities and Fidelities." Her home is in Hartford, Conn., where her son, Edward B.B Hooker, M.D., is a practicing physician. James Chaplin7 Beecher was graduated at Dartmouth College in 1848, and studied theology at Andover. He was ordained, May 10, 1856, a Congregational minister, and until 1861, was Chaplain of the Seaman's Bethel in Canton and Hong Kong, China. Dur ing the war he was Chaplain of the ist Reg. N. Y. Infantry, 1861- 62 ; Lieut. Colonel of the 141st, 1862-63 ; Colonel of the 35th, U. S. Colored Troops, 1863-66 ; and was mustered out of service in 1866, as Brevet Brigadier General. Later he held pastorates in Owego, N. Y., 1867-70, in Poughkeepsie, 1871-73, and in Brooklyn, 1881-82. Brothers and sisters may have marked individuality, but certain traits will usually appear in which they are much alike. This is to be seen in the sons and daughters of Dr. Lyman" Beecher. Under lying their personal qualities were the qualities of the family. Home training, parentage and ancestry brought to them an inheri tance which they had in common. As a groundwork for everything else there was abounding vitality. Notice the age to which they lived. Of the eleven children who survived infancy, nine retained an almost youthful THE BEECHER HOME. 209 vigor in advanced life, and most of them left far behind the boundary line of seventy, while the two who died earlier were cut off by a violent death. Their father died at the age of 87, and had a like reserve of physical strength. His grandparents, Nathaniel and Sarah4 Beecher, likewise lived to a great age, as did Ebenezer and Abigail3 Sperry before them. Another family trait was the aptitude for grasping unseen things and living as in their presence. Besides the vision of the senses they had the vision of spiritual understanding and dwelt as in a spiritual universe. This was the habit of their early home. It was in the atmosphere there, and it abode with them in later life. Paul wrote to Timothy, " I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice." So in this family there was an inheri tance of faith which made its members rich in susceptibility to moral and religious truth. Again, they were profoundly humane. They loved mankind, especially those who needed them and whom they could help. The motive of benefiting men and society was what made them preachers, authors and agitators. They worked in lowly places before they stood on the heights of power. They bore poverty, and struggled with bitter opposi tion for courageous years, with no thought of the fame that awaited them. And this they did because they placed human values above all other values. Whence came such a conception of life ? Their parents had the same. It was the conception which ruled in their home, and under whose inspiration each child grew up and was molded in all his aims and purposes. One will need to look far to find such a tribute to the influence of home training as appears in sons and daughters like these. 14 CHAPTER X. Abraham5 Dickerman Junior. "Consider whether we ought not to be more in the habit of seeking honor from our descendants than our ancestors ; thinking it better to be nobly remem bered than nobly born." — -John Ruskin, New Haven colony was fifty years old when the Stuarts were driven from England and William and Mary established on the throne. The occasion was one of great rejoicing throughout New England. The oppressions of one Stuart had caused the settlers to come hither, and the overthrow of another seemed a triumph of Puritan principles. The immediate consequence, however, was seven years of war with Canadians and Indians. This brought insecurity, anxiety and impoverishment ; but at the same time, better military organiza tion, clearer political ideas and a growing sense of the mission the colonies had to fulfill in this new world. During this period the two sons of Abraham" Dickerman grew from boyhood to manhood. Their father was Lieutenant of militia ; an officer of the town, and Representative in the legisla ture. Questions of grave importance must have been constantly under discussion in that house. The boys listened, bore their part, no doubt, and so learned the lessons of citizenship. The older son, Abraham3 Dickerman, Jr., was Sergeant of militia as early as 1710; later Lieutenant for a number of years; and then in 1722 was chosen Captain ; though he seems not to have held a captain's commission nor to have been called by that title. He also held the office of Townsman in 1710, and for five other terms, the last of which was in 1729. There are indications, however, that he had less taste for public office than his father had shown, and less than appeared in his brother. Probably the care of his own affairs and of his family gave him more satisfaction. A proof of his enterprise appears on the records, Dec. 27, 1697. "Samuel Bishop, James Bishop, Abraham Dickerman Junior, John Bradley and Samuel Mix, propounded that the Town would grant them liberty to take ABRAHAM8 DICKERMAN JUNIOR. 211 in and improve about 25 or 30 acres of the Town's land for 8 years, and then the land be at the Town's dispose." This was less than a month before his marriage and shows that he was giving due thought to the question of how to support a wife. We find a deed drawn Feb. 14, 1697-8, less than a month after his marriage, which also may have helped somewhat to the answer. It is from Mrs. Jane Gregson, the aged widow of Thomas Gregson, one of the wealthiest of the original planters, who was lost in 1646 in the great ship. Elizabeth Glover, the young wife, was her great grand-daughter, and she testified to her approval of the match by a handsome gift, consisting of " nine acres of land in the necke." In Joseph Brown's map, drawn in 1724, there are two houses marked with the name of Abraham Dickerman. One of these was on the east side of Church street, a few rods north of Elm street, and next to the old homestead. The other was on Grove street looking down Church street. Probably one of these was occupied by the oldest son of Abraham3 Dickerman Junior, Abraham4 Dick erman, Third. The will and inventory of his estate, which are given below, show that he was prosperous in business and accumulated a property which was large for those times, ^3177. us. 6d. or $15,379.64. Most of this property was in real estate, embracing some twenty-five tracts of land, amounting to about 180 acres, most of which was in New Haven, or in the immediate vicinity. The will was offered for probate the first Monday in July, 1748, and John Hubbard was appointed administrator. He declined to serve and Samuel Horton was then appointed. Jno.

These each received shares valued at some ^1300, while the portions of two of the daughters were about ^90 apiece, and of the other two about ^70. This was in accordance with the custom of those times, which usually made sons the chief legatees. Abraham3 Dickerman = Elizabeth Glover. 107.

William Todd, ancestor of the Connecti- 21 8 EARLY DAYS IN NEW HAVEN. cut family, lived in Pomfret, York Co., England. His son, " Christopher Todd, was born at Pontefract, England, bap. Jan. ii, 1617. He was at New Haven 1639 : miller, farmer and baker. In 1650 he bought of Joseph Crane the lot on Elm street, between Orange and Church streets, afterwards called the Blue meeting house lot, on a part of which St. Thomas Church stands. He first hired, then bought, a grist mill, erected by the town where Whit ney's gun factory now stands, and long known as Todd's mill." Michael Todd's house was on the north side of Elm street, the next but one to Isaac Dickerman's, that of Rev. Mr. Noyes stand ing between. In his will he appoints his friend, John Hubbard, to be an executor of the estate, with his wife Mary, and makes provision for his two sons going through college. The inventory of the estate was presented, Jan. 5, 1745, by John Hubbard and Mary Todd and shows a valuation of ^7028. 1 s. 4 d. The two seem to have found so much pleasure in each other's society in the settlement of the estate that they concluded to go on together in the care of it, and so were married not many months later. Michael6 Todd, Jr., carried out his father's desires in graduating from Yale in 1748. He then became an extensive merchant in New Haven. His estate was inventoried at ^2083. In his will he appoints his son Michael executor and " guardian of the three youngest children." " Eli* Todd, after his graduation in 1787, sailed for the West Indies, intending to travel in Europe and Asia, but was prevented by sickness at Trinidad. Having lost the fortune left him by his father, he entered on a course of study for the medical profession, and in due time began practice in Farmington, Conn. He removed to New York about 1810, but returned to Farmington and remained there until 1819, when he went to Hartford and soon became the chief consulting physician in that city. At about this time there was observed a marked increase in the number of insane persons in that region, and seeing the difficulty of treating them in private practice he called the attention of the profession and the public to the necessity of having a special institution for their care. He was principally instrumental in founding the Retreat for the Insane at Hartford, one of the ear liest of its kind, was elected its superintendent and presided over JOHN HUBBARD'S FAMILY. 219 it till his death. Under him it became one of the best managed institutions in this country or Europe. Dr. Todd was repeatedly elected president and vice-president of the Medical Society of Connecticut and was the author of several professional monographs, and some occasional addresses." Hon. Samuel Chandler Crafts, who married Eunice6 Todd, was a graduate of Harvard in 1790 and his father was of Yale in 1759.

" Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield, Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke ; How jocund did they drive their team afield ! How bowed the woods beneath their sturdy stroke." — Gray's Elegy. Allusion was made, in a previous chapter, to the causes which led to the settlement of Vermont, page 52. Attention was also called to the immigration thither from New Haven, in which the family of Abraham Dickerman was represented. It would be interesting if we could know how the thoughts of John6 Dickerman were first turned to this new country, and could trace the particular steps which led him to transfer his family thither. He was just coming of age when the ample estate from his grandfather came into his possession. Four years later he mar ried, and three children, one after another, were born in his New Haven home. His kinsfolk were among the wealthy and influen tial of the place, and the community, with its grammar school and college and cultivated people, offered rare advantages for a young man with a wife and growing family. We may well wonder what could have led him to forsake all this for the privations of the frontier. There are evidences that the removal was not a sudden one. His son John" is understood to have been born in Vermont, March 17, 1764. This is the account handed down in the family. The last of his children whose birth is recorded in New Haven was Esther", b. July 5, 1759. The place of William's6 birth is not given. This indicates that John6 Dickerman and his wife went to Vermont as early as 1763 or 1764. But there are proofs of his continued residence in New Haven till a time as late as 1777, so that, if his son John was born in Ver mont, it must have been during a temporary sojourn. This view may be supported by the lack of information concerning the pre cise place of his birth. There is a difficulty, however, even in this 232 THE VERMONT PIONEER. supposition of a sojourn, for John6 Dickerman signed his name to a land transfer in New Haven, April 4, 1764. There are thirty-seven of these land transfers which have so direct a bearing on the circumstances of the removal to Vermont that they are here given : April 12, 1750, John Dickerman to Lazarus Ives, Nov. 28, 1750, Joseph and John Dickerman to Moses Mansfield April 24, 1751, " " " " Joseph Miles, May 20, 1751, " " " " Thomas Howell June 4, 1751, John Dickerman to Joseph Dickerman, March 5, 1752, " " S.

ELY" DICKERMAN. 233 There were three years between Sep. 10, 1763, and Sep. 6, 1766, during which he and his wife might have been in Vermont for a while, excepting in the spring of 1764, which suggests the ques tion whether the date of the birth of their son John" may not be in error. There is another longer period of six years between April 17, 1771, and March 10, 1777, in which we find no transfer of prop erty ; but at the end of this time he speaks of " the farm where he now dwells," which indicates that his home in New Haven had been kept until now, whatever may have been his connections with a new settlement in Vermont. It is quite conceivable that his mother and sister Elizabeth may have occupied the New Haven home and had part of his children with them, while he spent considerable time in Vermont and sometimes had his wife with him. This would account for the son's learning the blacksmith's trade in New Haven. He sold the last of his real estate there in 1777, during the war of the Revolution, but after this the family kept up their relations with New Haven and some of the children made their home there. This would have been natural because that New Haven must long have continued to be the base of supplies for the pioneers, with constant travel and intercommunication back and forth. A letter from one of the older members of this family contains interesting reminiscences of early times : West Derby, Vt., April 5, 1896. Dear Sir : I received your communication and will try and tell you what little I know of John and Ely Dickerman. I can just remember my great grandfather John Dickerman as a very aged man. I lived in grandfather Ely Dickerman's family twenty years and what I have to relate was told to me by my grandparents. John Dickerman lived in Connecticut and owned the land on which the city of New-Haven now stands.* But having a family of boys and thinking his farm not large enough, he sold it and came up to Brattleboro, Vermont, to invest his money in wild land for himself and boys, but before he had purchased any more than a farm for himself the money went down, (It was continental money), so fifty dollars would not buy a mug of flip. He lived at Brattleboro until after Ely was married to Dolly McAlpine. They then thought they would go still further north and take up another lot of wild land. So Ely and his father came up to Lyndon, Vermont, in the spring of the * One who is familiar with the history of New Haven may smile at the thought of any one man's " owning the land on which it now stands " in 1776 ; but John Dickerman did inherit from his grandfather real estate which is now of immense value. A part of this was ground now covered by the Sheffield Scientific School, if the "Plan of 1848" is correct." 234 THE VERMONT PIONEER. year, about 1795 or 1796. They were delighted with the country, bought a farm, and the next winter moved up from Brattleboro on an ox sled. Nancy, my mother, was then six months old and Jerry two or three years old. They went into a log house, shoveled the snow from the fire-place and built a fire. Not having boards enough to cover the floor, they had to step from one to another. They lived so until they could build a log house on their farm, into which they then moved. They suffered all the hardships of pioneer life, but were prosperous and happy, steady and industrious. They carried all their pork, butter and produce to Portland, Boston or Montreal in the winter with a horse team. Ely and his wife went to Ohio, a distance of about three hundred miles, on horse-back to visit her brother, William McAlpine, who was Judge of Supreme Court at that time. They had some adventures : lost their way in the Dutch settlement, could not understand a word of their language : and when it came night they heard the tinkling of a cow-bell, followed it and came where they saw a light from a log cabin, stopped over night and got to their journey's end : and then back safely. Great grandfather, John Dickerman, lived and enjoyed good health until about the year 1822 or 1823, when he died at the advanced age of one hundred and five years. [Record of his birth, Oct. 2, 1727, makes his age 95 or 96. — Ed.] He was a very smart man, retaining all his mental faculties to a remarkable degree. ' After he was a hundred years old he would go out and chop and bring in wood for his fire, though he was not obliged to do it. I think I have heard them speak of Ely's brother Grigson being in the Revo lutionary war. Grandfather had four sons and two daughters, all of whom lived to a good old age, but one son who died in infancy. My mother, Nancy Dickerman, was married during the war of 1812 to John Percival, my father — I think it was the spring of 1812 — and moved to Glover, Vermont, then a newly settled town, into a log house where the potatoes all froze in the cellar. Mother was young, only seventeen years old, and she used to tell how she suffered for fear of the Indians, who were all about these north ern towns, and nights when alone would go out and sit by the cows, fearing to stay in the house. She rode from Glover to Lyndon on horse-back and passed companies of soldiers whom she feared nearly as much as she did the Indians. They made their remarks, but were stopped by their captain. She had left a home of plenty — for Ely Dickerman was a wealthy farmer — and was so homesick they soon moved back to St. Johnsbury, where they had seven children, two of whom died in infancy. Myself and youngest sister are the only ones now living, and I am seventy-six. We had one only brother who was a mechanic. Father was a farmer, a very active Christian and a member of the Congrega tional church. None of the family were in the war of 1812. Truly yours, Harriet D. Gould. Another granddaughter of Ely6 Dickerman, Mrs. I. P. Chase of St. Johnsbury, writes of John6 Dickerman as " living to the age JOHN6 DICKERMAN'S FAMILY. 235 of 105," showing that this is a family tradition. She speaks of Ely Dickerman as " a beautiful old man with curly hair, nice and good," and of Dolly McAlpine, his wife, as " of Irish descent, her parents having come from Ireland," a woman of "true politeness," who died at Waterford of quick consumption. Hon Albert9 Dickerman, of Watsonville, Cal., published in 1869 a carefully prepared history of the descendants of John" Dickerman, his grandfather, and has revised and extended it for this work. He has preserved some traditions concerning his father's uncles and aunts, which will be given in their place. John6 Dickerman= Esther Sperry. 125.

He is enrolled among the soldiers of the Revolutionary army as having served from May 25 to Dec. 20, 1776, in a company that was at the siege of Boston. The Captain was Benedict Arnold, but he was appointed Colonel and did not serve with the company, the com mand falling to Capt. Caleb Trowbridge. The N. E. Hist, and Gen. Reg. for 1890 has a list of loyalists who emigrated in 1783 to New Brunswick and became the founders of St. John. These went in the ship Union, and were the first to arrive of five thousand refugees. They had embarked from Hunt ington, Long Island, where, it would seem, the Connecticut loy alists gathered. The list contains the name of " Abraham Dicker- man of New Haven, shoemaker." The indications are that he was without wife or children. A letter from Susan E. Wilcox, of Springfield, Illinois, adds some further information. " My mother's grandfather on her father's side married the widow of Abraham Dickerman, who lived in New Haven. She herself was one of the Storers who came originally from Boston. I think the marriage took place in 1798 or 1799. She had a son by her first husband, Abraham Dickerman, who bore his father's name and was a sailor. He died at sea, but we do not know the date of his birth or death. The name of my great grandfather who married Mrs. Abraham Dickerman was David Burns. We have a ring of my great grandmother's which has engraved on it these words — Nov. 27, 1799, Abraham Dickerman & (a break) 9." If these three accounts are of the same individual, his life must have been one of varied experiences. Judge Dickerman gives the tradition that "he went into a for eign country at an earlv day and was not heard from afterwards." Concerning Esther" Dickerman, he says that she was "married in New Haven to a man by the name of Bradley and had ten chil dren," and that her sister Rachel6 was "married to a brother of Esther's6 husband, also in New Haven." A search in the archives gives nothing confirmatory of this ; nor has anything been learned from other sources concerning their families.

(144) John" Dickerman, at the age of sixteen, enlisted as a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and served about nine months, in Captain James Blakeley's Company and Colonel Samuel Fletcher's Regi ment. During the latter part of his service he was employed as a scout, being accounted the hardiest and fleetest man in his division. While a young man he went to New Haven and learned the black smith trade. Returning, he lived at Brattleboro, working at his trade until about the year 1800, when he moved to Guilford, Che nango County, New York, and lived there and near there in Otsego County until he died. For several years previous to his death he drew a pension of thirty-six dollars per year, and after his death his widow drew the same amount as long as she lived. In his life time he often spoke of Ethan Allen, and it is highly probable that he served under him. He was a member of the Methodist Episco pal Church. Mingling the occupations of blacksmith and farmer, he fulfilled the Scriptural injunction of earning his living by the sweat of his brow. He raised a large family, giving them such education as was within his means and power, and sent them forth to struggle with the world, with the best of instruction and an example that was in every way worthy of their study and atten tion. He was simple and abstemious in his habits, frugal and careful of his time and property, faithful and diligent in his pursuits. He was also a man of candor and great integrity. He attended to his own business, and as a citizen, sought to act his part well and to vote intelligently. Farther than this he had no secular ambition. He lived the life of a most consistent Christian and left to his descendants a character not brilliant, nor discolored here and there by dark spots, but substantial, simple even, and so well- rounded into completeness that they have always looked upon it as a model. The man who preached his funeral sermon and was somewhat remotely related to his wife, but who has also been dead now (1896) several years, in acknowledging, in 1870, the receipt of a pamphlet containing a record of John Dickerman and his descendants, wrote to the sender, concerning the subject of this sketch and his wife : " Ah, never to my latest breath shall I forget 16 242 FROM VERMONT TO NEW YORK. that aged couple. Uncle John, an Israelite without guile, so sin cerely honest in all things, and when converted carrying that same sincerity into his religion. Oh, how my young heart used to melt as I bowed with the family at the altar of prayer and listened to such earnest and hearty petitions as fell from his lips. It was my privilege to preach his funeral sermon, from the text ' An old man and full of days, and gathered to his people.' And then that aged aunt. I used to think her the most perfect woman that God ever made. What a world of care and labor was put on her, yet who ever heard from her any complaining ? The law of kindness ruled in her heart and tongue, and looking over the long record of names, which you have given us, I could not but think how all these generations will rise up and call her blessed. If it had been consistent with your purpose, I could have wished that you had given a more lengthy portrait of their character and lives." Such ancestors command the respect and reverence of their descendants and require of them a manhood and womanhood that shall be, at all times and under all circumstances, unsullied. Thankful Smith was born April 7, 1768, probably at Granby, Mass. Her father's name was Seth Smith. He was a descendant in the sixth generation of Lieut. Samuel Smith, born at Hadleigh, in England, about the year 1602, who with his wife Elizabeth and their four oldest children came to this country in the year 1634 and is supposed to have located at Watertown, in Massachu setts, where he remained for one year. In j 635, he removed with quite a company, to what was afterwards and is now known as Wethersfield, in Connecticut, where he remained until the year 1649. In that year he removed to the town of Hadley, in Hamp shire County, Massachusetts, where he lived until his death. He was one of the original settlers of Hadley, before it was divided, as it now is, into the townships of Hatfield, North and South Hadley, Amherst and Granby. Her mother's first name was Thankful, the same as her own. Her father had two wives and fifteen children, as follows : I. Seth Smith, b. Aug. 21, 1736, d. Oct. 13, 1820. m. (1) Thankful , b.

When the news first reached his town of the invasion of the British, he was in church on Sunday. He instantly left the house, mounted his horse and rode all over the town raising vol unteers. The next morning, with his newly raised recruits, he marched about thirty miles and arrived in time to participate in the battle of Bennington. His residence was Granby, Massa chusetts. Israel Smith — a brother of Seth Smith — had eight or nine chil dren. The name of the oldest was Chloe Smith. She married a man by the name of Hayes, of Brattleboro, Vermont. They had seven or eight children. The fifth was Rutherford Hayes, and he was the father of Rutherford B. Hayes, late President of the United States. The following is an extract from a letter written by President Hayes in February, 1870, when he was Governor of Ohio : "My father came to Ohio in 1817, thus separating from all his New England relations, and died before my birth, so that I have not had an opportunity to learn much of his family, * * * there is an impression in the family that Grandmother Chloe Smith Hayes was a very superior woman, having real genius. The Meade family, all having a talent as artists, trace their faculty to grand mother. The most distinguished member of the family is Larkin G. Meade, a sculptor of wide reputation. You may have heard of him as the boy who made the snow statue in Brattleboro, Vt., twelve or fifteen years ago. He is the sculptor and architect of the Lincoln Monument, at Springfield, Illinois, and his studio in Florence probably receives as many orders as that of any artist." Thankful Smith often spoke of her father's connection with the Revolutionary army, and though a young girl, remembered the 244 FROM VERMONT TO NEW YORK. battle of Bennington and spoke of it frequently. In her life she was genial, lively and open-hearted ; active, and really a help mate in the raising of their large family. She lived to lose her recollection and for several of the last years of her life, though a mere child, she still retained, in a most remarkable degree, her health and physical vigor. At the age of eighty and upwards she was as active and quick as a young girl of fifteen. While she hardly remembered what occurred in the later years of her life so long as she was talking about them, she did evidently recall the incidents of her girlhood and earlier years with accuracy. The writer (Albert6 Dickerman) remembers in particular calling on her after she was eighty years of age. She neither knew him, nor when told who he was, did she seem to remember it for more than a minute ; it was a mere flash, and lost. However, upon leav ing the room — evidently associating him with his father, who was one of her oldest children, and born in Brattleboro, Vermont — she remarked that she wished him to call upon her in her room, as she desired to inquire of him about the Brattleboro folks. Soon after, in company with a cousin, he went into her room and as soon as she had made the necessary disposition of chairs, &c, for welcome, she commenced asking questions about Deacon this and Doctor that, wishing to know if they lived by the church or over where they used to, and a great many other questions of a like nature. He, as well as his cousin, told her that he had never been in Brattleboro and knew nothing about the people. She insisted that he did and must, and to gratify her he finally answered at random, yes and no, to her numerous questions. She manifested much interest and at the close of the conversation, remarked that she was glad to hear from old Brattleboro once more. Her man ner was perfectly natural ; her questions were put naturally, and her informant has. no doubt, to this day, but what she asked him about the people who lived in Brattleboro when she lived there. She was a kind mother and greatly beloved by her children. She died, October 7, 1856, at the residence of her son-in-law, William C. Sliter, near Rockdale, in the town of Unadilla, Otsego County, New York. With her husband she was a member of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, and a most exemplary Christian. What is said about her in the preceding extract, by the man who preached her husband's funeral sermon is undoubtedly a very truthful portraiture of her. Her descendants regret that they have not a more complete record of her life as well as her hus- HENRY' DICKERMAN. 245 band's, but those of them who remember her, recall her with feel ings of love and veneration. She was a good and noble woman, a mother in Israel, and her descendants do and will in very truth call her blessed. Henry7 Dickerman = Catharine Trask. 134.

Esther7 Dickerman, the wife of Ebenezer B. Hovey, and mother of this family, was a woman of deep religious life and whole hearted in everything she undertook. When she gave herself to Christ, she had a clear apprehension that He was henceforth to be her guide and friend, and although she passed through many severe trials, she had the consciousness of divine sympathy and support. After the death of Mr. Hovey, the care of the family came upon her. She at once asked how she might give them superior educa tional advantages and made a home for them, first at Hamilton, N. Y., then at Homer, and finally at Oberlin, Ohio. In each of these places she found what she had sought and the results showed the wisdom of her course. She was eminently a woman of prayer, especially in her later years, and appointed for herself particular subjects of prayer, like " Greater Consecration for Herself," " Her Children and Grand children," " Our Nation and Rulers, Generals, Officers and Sol diers, Slaves and those liberated." She entered with all her heart into the great anti-slavery move ment and into every other true reform. She believed in high attainments in the Christian life and earnestly sought them for herself and for others. LUCIUS SMITH. 251 Lucius Smith= Harriet N.8 Hovey. 147.

Nathaniel' Dickerman, though born in Brattleboro, Vt., spent most of his life in Guilford and Masonville, New York. He received his education in the common schools and was a farmer. He engaged also in lumbering to some extent and used to run lumber down the Susquehanna river. He served as Constable and afterwards as Justice of the Peace. It is said, though, that few cases were ever tried before him and that in the great majority of cases he prevailed upon the parties to settle their controversies themselves. He was not married until he was thirty-five years old. He was at one time in comfortable circumstances as to prop erty, but signed or endorsed notes with other parties and was obliged to pay them, or he did pay them, although it is said he could not have been held upon some of them. He scorned the idea, however, of any evasion and paid them in full, though it took nearly all the property he had to do it. He worked very hard after that to support his young family. After he moved to Mason ville he served one year as Township Treasurer. He was a mem ber of the Presbyterian Church, a most devoted Christian, and had the universal respect of everyone who knew him, as a man of per fect honesty, sincere piety and exemplary character. The pastor of his church at Masonville, in writing to one of his sons, many years afterwards, made use of this language in refer ence to him : " I do not know how well you remember your father, for you were very young when he died, but my right hand will forget its cunning before I forget him. He was my counsellor and friend the first year of my ministry. Being a stranger to the people and new to the work, your father, as opportunity offered, would drop in and in a few words give me hints of inestimable value. Let occur what might, for it was a time of tremendous storms and tempests in the Church, Nathaniel Dickerman was a rock on which I could always lean. There were great divisions and hard nesses, but from all these he was free and could act as a peace- MARY ANN FERRY. 255 maker between the parties. His friendly counsels and conciliatory course were of great worth, so that there was no man to whom I could go and speak with such confidence as to him. His days were shortened, no doubt, by the adversities which came upon him and extreme anxiety and labor for the support of his rising family." The principal legacy he left to his children was that of a good name, but the fragrance of that has been a constant blessing to them. Some of them hardly remember his looks, but the reputa tion which he left, the high regard in which he was held by those who knew him, the character which he sustained, and the example which he set for them have stimulated and nerved them for many a hard struggle and they bless and cherish his name as a heritage beyond all price. If they have met with any success in life, they gratefully acknowledge that it has been largely due to the teach ings and example of such a father and a mother who was his worthy companion. Mary Ann Ferry was born in Brunswick, Rensellaer County, New York. Her father's ancestor came to this country some time in the seventeenth century. Her mother was a Smith and one of the seventh generation, in descent, from the same Lieut. Samuel Smith who was the ancestor of her husband's mother, though in a different line. She was herself the oldest of a family of nine and assisted materially in the house. She was educated in the common schools, and taught school in Masonville and Guilford, at or near Rockdale. At the latter place she made the acquaintance of her first husband. She was married at the age of twenty-three and lived with her husband in Guilford and Masonville until he died in 1845. Their married life was a happy one. At the time of his death she was left with a family of six children, the oldest of whom was eleven years of age, and the youngest born during her hus band's last illness, with a home unpaid for, and a very little per sonal property. She was aided to some extent by her relatives and friends, and the second son was adopted and reared by one of her sisters and her husband. With her other five children she struggled for a living. For the first few years it was hard work to make both ends meet and to save eighteen dollars each year to pay the interest upon the debt they owed for their home. She worked hard, became a fairly good tailoress, earned what she could work ing for others, spun the yarn, wove the cloth and made the gar ments for her children. The children did what they could to 256 FROM VERMONT TO NEW YORK. assist, working at home or for others, and as they grew older accomplished more. In 1850 the youngest child died. She was a sweet and lovely girl, a beautiful singer, a universal favorite, and a great comfort to her mother, brothers and sisters. Her death came with crushing effect upon them all. When the oldest son was eighteen he commenced teaching school winters. They always had a good garden, some chickens, a pig, a cow or two, a fair supply of fruit, and sold a little butter and some eggs. All did what they could and after a time the clouds began to roll away. By the time the oldest son was twenty they had the home paid for. The family broke up that year, 1854, and were separated until 1856, when the mother remarried. In 1857 they moved to Cleveland, O. In 1859 she went back to Masonville to visit her mother and friends, and while there was taken ill and died. In all her strug gles to live and rear her family she never lost heart or courage. She was a sincere and devoted Christian and her absolute faith and implicit trust in God buoyed her up. She continued family prayers after her husband's death and was a constant attendant at church and prayer-meetings. Few people were more expressive in prayer than she. She wrestled for a blessing and was always comforted and soothed by prayer whenever her labors and trials appeared for the moment to be greater than she could bear. To anyone in sorrow or trouble or prostrated with illness she was a great comforter. Those of her children still living look back upon that home as a sacred shrine, a place hallowed by the most tender associations, and the recollection of it has always been a strong incentive to labor in honorable callings and to achieve honorable results. There have been struggles and contests, but they have been manfully and gratefully accepted. Who shall venture to predict how far that mother's influence will extend ? Such mothers help to make and build a nation, strong and abiding as the Eternal hills. Albert" Dickerman was born and reared upon a farm among the hills of Masonville, N. Y. His father having died when he was five years of age, he assisted his mother, brothers and sisters in obtaining a livelihood, attending District school until he was six teen years of age. At that age he attended an academy in Che nango County two terms. At the age of seventeen he moved with his people to Cleveland, Ohio. From that time until he went into the army, he was studying and teaching, a part of the time in ALBERT" DICKERMAN. 257 Chester, Ohio, about six months at Oberlin, Ohio, and about a year and a quarter in Missouri, where he was when the war broke out and where he witnessed a good deal of feeling and excitement. In July 1862, he enlisted as a private in Co. "E" 105th Regi ment of Ohio Infantry. On reaching camp he was appointed Ser geant Major, after about four months Second Lieutenant, two months later First Lieutenant, in which capacity he served until the close of the war, twice declining a Captain's commission. His regiment was in the Fourteenth Army Corps, under Thomas and later Sherman, participating in the movements of that corps, through Kentucky and Tennessee ; in the Atlanta campaign ; the March to the Sea ; through the Carolinas to Goldsboro ; to Raleigh, Richmond and Washington, and taking part in the Grand Review. It was mustered out and disbanded in June 1865. Of the subject of this sketch, Judge Albion W. Tourgee, who wrote the history of the regiment, makes use of this language : " He was a man of strong character and brilliant qualities, sys tematic, prompt, cool, and courageous, one of those men who never lose their heads nor forget, nor omit, any routine duty. His career since the close of the war has fully justified the promise of his military service." After he was mustered out he studied law at Union Law College in Cleveland, Ohio, and was admitted to practice in June 1866. In August of that year he located at Hillsdale, Mich. While living there he served for three years as Director of the Public Schools, for four years as Circuit Court Commissioner, for four years as Probate Judge, and represented the County in the State Senate, during the general session of 1881 and the special session of 1882, practicing his profession in the mean time. In the spring of 1883, he moved to Muskegon, Mich. There he served two years as member of the Board of Trustees of the Pub lic Schools, and in 1887 was elected Circuit Judge of the Four teenth Judicial Circuit, and served in that capacity six years. At the close of his term he declined to be a candidate for re-election, and in 1894 moved to Watsonville, Cal., where he now resides and is practicing his profession. In 1869 he published a small pam phlet, containing a record of his grandfather's family, and he has always taken a deep interest in the genealogy of the family. The part of this work relating to the descendants of John6 and Thankful (Smith) Dickerman is from Judge Dickerman ; and especial honor is due to him as the earliest historian of the family. — Ed. 17 258 FROM VERMONT TO NEW YORK.

Dr. Clark' Dickerman had an academic education, and took a medical course in Jefferson College, Philadelphia, Pa. After his graduation there he commenced the practice of his profession at Guilford, N. Y. Soon after the death of his first wife, in 183 1, he removed to Harford, Susquehanna Co., Pa., where he spent the remainder of his life. Dr. Dickerman soon acquired an extensive practice in his profession. With abilities of a high order, possess ing a mind both philosophical and practical, he correctly diagnosed his cases and successfully treated them. He united with excep tional talents rare personal gifts and a sympathetic nature, which made him admired and beloved. Modest and unassuming in his ways, refined and intelligent in thought, kind and considerate in feeling, he was regarded as friend, companion and counselor by those with whom he became associated. In his family relations he was most happy, being a most devoted husband, and a kind and affectionate father. Mrs. Sarah A. Dickerman was the daughter of one of the early settlers of Gibson. At the age of eighteen she was married to Dr. Clark. Previous to this she had attended the Harford Uni versity. She first united with the Congregational Church, but on removing to Berwick united with the Presbyterian Church there. Motherhood had a deep meaning in her life, calling into action her best energies, keenest judgment and holiest affections. Her devotion to her children was an inspiration to them, and they owe much of their success to her cheerful and courageous spirit. Her life was the constant revealing of a warm and affectionate heart. No one can forget the hearty and gracious manner of her greet ings, nor the rare courtesy that touched the best in those with whom she met and mingled. Hon. Charles H.8 Dickerman is a man of high standing and influence in that part of Pennsylvania where he lives. The Milton Record of April 8, 1896, in advocating his nomination for Congress, uses the following language : "No candidate could be chosen who would go before the people with a stronger claim for their suffrages. A broad-minded business man, a keen observer of public events, conservative and judicious, with fixed notions upon the great economic and financial questions that are before the people, based upon careful study and practical knowledge, he is one man out of ten thousand to fitly represent the varied interests of the state and district. Mr. Dickerman has been a large employer of labor and is in close touch with the laboring man and his interests. He has paid the best wages commensurate with the conditions of business and has manifested a friendly interest in the welfare of the workmen and their families."

Y., making the journey with an ox team. He lived with his parents until he was twenty-five years old, when he moved to the town of Unadilla, in Otsego Co., and on to a farm which he had purchased the year before. He very soon set out a hop-yard, it probably being the first one in the county. He was married a second time Feb. 7, 1830, to Maria Westover of Sidney, N. Y. He remained upon his farm until the spring of 1861, moving then to the village of Rockdale, where he continued until his death. His widow still lives there (1896) and is now about eighty-three years of age. Besides his farm, he owned a flouring mill and was interested in some other enterprises. Mr. Curtis was an energetic and successful business man, tem perate in his habits, simple and unostentatious in his tastes, con scientious and sincere in his beliefs, strong in integrity, a devoted husband and father, an esteemed and honored citizen. In religion he was a Universalist and in politics a Democrat. While differing in both of these matters from many of his neighbors and friends, he was so sincere that he commanded their respect and esteem. He was tolerant in his views, not a dogmatist, nor did he find fault or quarrel with those who differed from him. He was thor oughly loyal and strongly devoted to the welfare of our country and government, liberal in his benefactions, genial in his dispo sition, a kind neighbor, a devoted friend. He lived to the ripe age of ninety-one, and died full of honors. George W. Parsons= Julia AF Dickerman. 144. Julia A.'

William McAlpine8 Dickerman received his education in the common schools of St. Johnsbury and at Newbury Seminary, with one year in college at Burlington. He studied law with Hon. S. B. Colley at Derby, was admitted to the practice of the law and followed his profession with success for about a year at Lunen burg. He then removed to Derby and a few years later to Cov entry, continuing to practice the law in both places till sickness compelled him to withdraw from it. His sickness was prolonged for seven years, and practically he did no professional business after he was a few months over thirty-one years of age. But already he had come to be regarded as one of the best lawyers in the country, and was called into service so constantly that over work shortened his life. 18 274 THE FAMILY IN VERMONT. He represented the town of Coventry twice in the Vermont legislature, in 1850 and 185 1, and took a high position as a thinker and debater in that body. He was also Assistant Secretary of the Vermont Senate for two years. Jerre Ely8 Dickerman was educated in the common schools and academy of St. Johnsbury, and at Newbury seminary and Derby academy, all Vermont institutions. He studied law with his brother, William McAlpine8 Dickerman, at Coventry, and with Henry F. Prentice at Derby Line, and was admitted to practice at the June term of Orleans County Court in 1852. He taught school awhile after this, then practiced his profession for about a year at Troy, Vt. In September 1855 he removed to Charleston, Vt., and continued his legal practice there till 1864, when he went to Derby and entered into partnership with Hon. John S. Edwards, who was at that time the leading lawyer in that part of Vermont, under the firm name of "Edwards and Dickerman." In 1872 Messrs. Edwards and Dickerman removed to Newport, Vt., a more central location, and ten years later received into the firm another partner, changing the name to " Edwards, Dick erman and Young." In 1886 Mr. Edwards withdrew, and the firm was known as "Dickerman and Young " till November 15, 1895, when Mr. Dickerman practically retired on account of poor health. Mr. Dickerman represented the town of Charleston in the Ver mont legislature two years, 1859 and i860. He was Bank Com missioner for the state three years, 1862 to 1864, and then declined a re-election. He also represented Orleans County in the State Senate three years, 1869 to 1871.

He was deeply and uniformly pious and in labors most abundant. Possessed of a vigorous, athletic frame, a resolute and determined mind and a warm, generous heart, his efforts were astonishingly great. He never failed to stand high in the esteem of the people on any circuit or station he traveled, and he was always more or less successful." — Zion' s Herald, July 29, 1846. " The early life of Rev.

He has been identified with the young peo ple's movement since its beginning and is president of St. Johns bury District Epworth League, in which position he has traveled over twenty-five hundred miles during the past year." — Zion's Herald. CHAPTER XII. ISAAC6 DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. "It is the people, not the population, which forms the nation The national type is not obliterated in the vicissitudes of events, nor overborne by the migrations of races, and does not perish, although the individual die." — " The Nation." Elisha Mulford. New England's early growth was not swift, but steady and sound ; proceeding by multiplication of the original families rather than by accretions from abroad. The first impetuous tide of immigration, ebbing under Cromwell's protectorate, was only sluggishly resumed at the Restoration ; and the increase from this source was of secondary moment. But the expansion which comes through a healthy family life was constant. It is not easy for people who live in a modern city to under stand the life of colonial times ; conditions were so different from those we see. Among these conditions was the continuity of the same group of families in the same place, generation after generation. The first settlers, many of them, went about and carefully looked into the main advantages offered by different localities before deciding where they would remain. But having made the decision they planted themselves for permanence. The homesteads they founded were retained by their children ; and, as these grew in numbers, the adjacent regions were reclaimed from the wilderness, and changed into other homesteads. The education of these children was such as the circumstances determined — scanty in letters, science and art, unenlivened by news of the world, untouched by the broadening culture of travel — but rich in a certain quality of moral strength and practical efficiency. The school was the home : the teachers were father, mother, brothers and sisters ; the lessons were those of filling aright one's place in a little circle of busy lives closely united by ties of mutual interest and love : the prizes were new trusts in recognition of fidelity, and constant profit-sharing in the fruits of toil as each one in a home shared in all the benefits that came. EARLY FAMILY NAMES. 279 Such a training would hardlv be called education. But it may have been that after all. We are apt to speak of the common school as accounting for the intelligence of New Englanders, but that tells only a part of the story. Probably the general practice of daily family worship with reading of the Bible had quite as much to do with it ; and there were many other things besides. The people continued to be essentially the same after a hundred years as at the beginning. They kept their traditions, and moved quietly forward to the fulfillment of their purpose. In the town records of New Haven one may read of nearly six thousand children who were born between 1647 and 1754. These are ranged under 290 family names, but the greater part are of those original planters and householders mentioned in a previous chapter, page 138. These names, with the number of births recorded for each, are as follows : Tuttle. . 218 Hotchkiss, 98 Pardee, 68 Hummerston , 50 Bradley, 184 Munson, 93 Mansfield, 66 Sherman, 50 Sperry, . 166 Peck, . 90 Hitchcock, 58 Dickerman, 47 Smith, 161 Potter, . 86 Sanford, 58 Russell, 47 Ailing, . 140 Brown, . 84 Cooper. 57 Mallory, 42 Atwater, 128 Beecher, 81 Trowbridge, 55 Miles, . 42 Perkins, 122 Mix, 80 Willmot, ¦ 54 Morris, . 42 Blakesley, 121 Thomas, 77 Downs, 53 Dorman, 41 Todd, . 114 Bassett, 76 Lines, . 52 Heaton, 41 Johnson, 111 Bishop, 73 Tallmadge, 52 Osborn, 41 Thomson, in Gilbert, 69 Ford, . 5i Wooden, 40 Clark, . 106 Bristol, . 68 Jones, . 51 Punderson, 39 Barnes, . 103 Ives, 68 Brocket, 50 Thorp, . 39 52 name s : 4114 children.

Total number of family names 290. Total number of children 5954. Names that do not appear before 1700 are in italics. They num ber 83, and 207 are earlier. There were many births of course which are not recorded, but the list is full enough to show the make-up of the community. Most of the people were from the earlier settlers. Nearly three- fourths of the whole number are under 52 names, and nine-tenths under 112. The number under the 4 names first mentioned is 729, while there are only 580 under the last 178, showing that the former constituted a larger element of the population than all of the latter. A glance at the Charts will show how these older families were interwoven by marriages and how close must have been the rela tions between them. In some respects the community was like one family. Isolation from other communities helped to unite the people among them- LIST OF MAGISTRATES. 281 selves. All attended the same church for nearly a century — even those living many miles out in the country — and were generally acquainted as neighbors and friends. Prominent among them were the minister and the civil magis trate, and the long terms of their service were accordant with the stability of society. An important function of the civil magistrates was the marriage service, and this was restricted to them till the latter part of the century. A list of the magistrates who performed most of the marriages previous to 1754, with the number of marriages by each, is as follows : Stephen Goodyear, Deputy Governor, Theophilus Eaton, Governor, . Francis Newman, Governor, Matthew Gilbert, Deputy Governor, William Jones, Deputy Governor, James Bishop, Deputy Governor, John Moss, Commissioner, John Nash, Assistant, Samuel Eells, Assistant, William Maltby, Justice of the Peace, Moses Mansfield, Assistant, John Ailing, Justice of the Peace, Jeremiah Osborn, Justice of the Peace, John Hall, Assistant, Nathan Andrews, Justice of the Peace, Abraham Bradley, Justice of the Peace, Warham Mather, Justice of the Peace, Samuel Bishop, Justice of the Peace, . Joseph Whiting, Assistant, Theophilus Yale, Justice of the Peace, Isaac Dickerman, Justice of the Peace, John Hubbard, Justice of the Peace, . The sentiment held by the Puritans that marriage, being a civil ordinance, ought to be performed only by a civil magistrate, became less strenuous as time passed on, till at length a law was passed in the General Assembly permitting ministers, under cer tain circumstances, to perform the service.

"The Court doe, for the satisfaction of such as are conscien tiously desirous to be marryed by the ministers of their plantations, doe grant the ordayned ministers of the severall plantations in the Colony liberty to joyne in marriage such persons as are qualified for the same according to law." 1649-1655, 9- 1650-1658, 10. 1652-1658, 8. 1659-1677, 67. 1663-1692, 82. 1670-1688, 26. 1675-1684, 9- 1675-1684, 46. 1684-1733, 5. 1692-1706, 8. 1693-1698, 23. 1698-1716, 70. 1700-1704, 14. 1705-1729, 14- 1705-1714, 18. 1710-1718, 36 1711-1727, 32 1715-1748, 174 1726-1745, 14 1727-1729, 4 1735-1757, 54- 1743-1759. 17 282 ISAAC DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. The first to take advantage of this law, so far as New Haven records show, was Rev. Israel Chauncey of Stratford, who per formed a marriage in 1695, and another in 1700. Many years passed before the practice became common. Rev. Jacob Heming way of East Haven was the first in this neighborhood to take the step, in 1 7 16. Rev. James Wetmore of North Haven followed, in 1719, and Rev. Samuel Johnson of West Haven, in 1722. The name of Rev. Joseph Noyes of New Haven occurs in such a con nection, in 1724, and that of Rev. Isaac Stiles of North Haven, in 1725. Thus it was about thirty years before the usage was fairly established. During the next thirty years some 400 marriages were performed by ministers, a much larger number than by civil magistrates. With the unfolding of New Haven's own life as a community, there was her leading position, also, in the group of communities that made up the State. When in 1665 the New Haven colony became united with her sister colony under the name of Connecticut there were 20 towns to be represented in the General Assembly with an aggregate taxable property of ,£153,620, distributed as follows : Hartford, £'7,734 Sea Brook, £6,59° New Haven, £i7,703 Standford, £6,347 Windsor, £15,812 Norwalk, . £4,931 Wethersfield, . £",847 Stonington, £4,356. Fairfield, . £",253- Brandford, £3,960. Milford, . £9,600. Norridge, . £3,830. Stratford, £9,187 Middle Town, £3,7i9- New London, . £9,059 Greenwich, £i,434. Guilford, . £7,315 Rye, . £1,211. Farmington, £6,953 Paugasuck, £774 They were only a score of little places, but so many centers still from which a few families should grow and branch out to become a strong commonwealth. Like conditions prevailed in them all, but each community had its individuality. Each had its own local features peculiar to itself and, what was more vital, each had its own families with strong family traits, like the Wolcotts at Windsor, the Huntingtons at Norwich, the Wards at Guilford, who made a society after their type. In 1720, after 55 years, the number of towns was 40, having doubled, and the estates aggregated ^413,985, having more than doubled. At this time New Haven and Hartford were much in GROWTH OF POPULATION. 283 advance of the other places in wealth, that of New Haven being placed at £28,316, that of Hartford at £23,203. The population of New Haven village at this time is estimated at about 1,000. Another 55 years brings us to the close of colonial times and the eve of the Revolution. In 1776 there were 71 towns, with a valuation of £1,911,970. The 12 towns of greatest wealth were : New Haven, £72,515. Wallingford, . £51,774 Farmington, • £71,582. Hartford, £51,006 Norwich, £66,452. Norwalk, £44,107 Woodbury, £63,919- Middletown, £43,551 Stratford, £52,262. Lebanon, £42,156 Fairfield, . £51,472. Waterbury, £41,243 These figures indicate a very even distribution of the inhabi tants compared with what we now see. Pres. Dwight gives the population of New Haven in 1774 as 8,295. The town then included Woodbridge, Hamden, North Haven and East Haven. In 1787, after these places had been incorporated by themselves, Dr. Dana gives the population of New Haven as 3,364, which indicates that the outlying districts contained more than half of the inhabitants. With this expansion more churches were organized — at East Haven in 1711, at North Haven in 1718, at West Haven in 1719, at Cheshire in 1724, at Woodbridge in 1742. And it was the same throughout the State. In 1700 there were 35 churches in Con necticut. During the next 50 years 117 Congregational churches were added, besides 30 or 40 of other denominations. There is reason to think that the country districts of the State were nearly as populous then as now. The population of the State in 1756 was 130,608 according to a census in that year and in 1776 it was probably about 200,000. According to the census of 1890 it is now about 750,000. But cities and villages at the present time embrace fully 500,000, leaving the number in the surrounding parts not very much larger than in the later colonial period. Legislation under these circumstances was simpler than it is to-day — less general and more specific. It was quite important that the representative should be acquainted with the other mem bers of the Legislature and have a knowledge of the towns in general ; and the same man was usually returned for a number of terms. 284 ISAAC3 DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN.

In this list Isaac3 Dickerman is conspicuous for more terms of service than any other Deputy. His father Abraham2 Dickerman was also among those who were long in the Assembly, and his grandfather, John Cooper, was one of the two who were present at the earliest session. The united service of these three covered 86 terms, extending from first to last over a period of 92 years. He seems to have had unusual aptitude for public affairs, due in large measure, we may suppose, to his home training. He was twelve years old when his grandfather died, and we can imagine the boy drinking in from the lips of the aged Puritan stories of the founding of the colony and of its growth, till he was familiar with its whole history. He did not hold any public position, however, till he was well past his youth, and most of his official service was in advanced life. He was 32 years of age when he was first placed in office, being appointed Constable, Oct. 1710. He was Ensign of militia Oct. OFFICIAL POSITIONS. 285 17 1 3, and Captain in 1722. He was chosen Townsman Dec. 15, 1712, and afterward continuously till 1719 ; thenfrom 1722 till 1725, and from 1730 till 1732, in all fifteen years. He was Deputy to the General Assembly 59 terms between 17 18 and 1757, and was ap pointed Justice of the Peace for New Haven, May 1735, and each year afterward as long as he lived — till 1758, 24 years. In the General Assembly he was twice on Committees " to take care that all acts of the court are truly and exactly entered on the records," in 1722 and 1723. Later he was on many important com mittees, requiring the best executive ability, especially a judicial and conciliatory disposition ; in 1727 "to consider a petition from Nichol's Farms of Stratford for village improvements;" in 1732 " to locate the Kensington meeting-house," a subject upon which that society had become seriously divided ; and in the same year to " endeavor a reconciliation among contending parties " in Woodbury, where "unhappy differences " had arisen over a line drawn to determine the new Society of Southbury; in 1737 to sell a township out of which Goshen was formed; and in 1740 to investigate and advise, upon a petition for a new ecclesiastical society in the district since known as Oxford. His services were valued in the Church as well as in state affairs. He was chosen a Deacon of the First Church in 1727, and held the office till 1754, when he resigned; and, transferring his member ship to the White Haven Church, was at the same time chosen a Deacon there and retained the office till his death. In the Ecclesiastical Society, he was appointed Dec. 30, 1720 on a Committee to " confer with the Trustees and Rector of Yale College about placing the scholars in the meeting-house ; " and was asked to perform the same service in other years. He was chosen, Jan. 4, 1726-7, on the standing committee "to order the affairs of the Society for the ensuing year," and, with one excep tion in 1737, was annually reelected as long as he lived, 31 times. May 7, 1739, he was Moderator of the meeting and was called to fill this post some 13 times or more. When Yale College was about to be removed from Saybrook to New Haven the town made " a grant of eight acres of land to the Collegiate School when and so long as the School shall be con tinued in New Haven." The committee to make the transfer of this land were John Ailing, Samuel Bishop, Capt. Joseph Whit ing, Isaac6 Dickerman and Theophilus Munson. This was Dec. 24, 1716, and the transfer was made March 15, 1717-18. 286 ISAAC" DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. Soon after, May 14, 1718, a number of proprietors in New Haven made a gift of forty acres more of land for the support of the institution. The names, with the amount which each contrib uted, are as follows : Abraham Bradley Sr., 2 acres. John Ball Jr., 5 acres. JNathaniel Yale, 3^ acres. Thomas Holt, H/ acres. John Todd Jr., 1 acre. John Mix, 5 acres. Samuel Ailing, 5 acres. Joseph Ives, 1% acres. Isaac Dickerman, 2 acres. Theophilus Munson, 1 acre. John Gilbert, 4 acres. John Bradley, 1 acre. Joseph Hull, 1 acre. Joseph Mix, 1 acre. Samuel Ives, 2 acres. Daniel Sherman, 1 acre. Thomas Munson, 2 acres. This action strikingly resembles that alluded to on page 6, in which Thomas' Dickerman, the grandfather of Isaac, was asso ciated with his neighbors at Dorchester in providing an education fund for that place. But Isaac3 Dickerman's services to the College did not end here. The same May on which this deed was signed, he and Theophilus Munson took their seats for the first time in the Connecticut Gen eral Assembly. They were undoubtedly chosen with particular reference to their looking after the interests of the College ; for, at the previous session in October, a movement had been made to transfer the institution to Middletown, which only the personal influence of Governor Saltonstall had overcome. It was one of those critical times when a great deal was at stake. The College had been started at Saybrook in 1701, but the loca tion was not altogether satisfactory, and, the question of removal being raised, the people of Hartford put forth strenuous efforts to have it transferred to their part of the state. A larger part of the students went to Wethersfield to be under the instruction of Mr. Elisha Williams, and a petition was sent to the Legislature that the College be removed to that place. New Haven had the advan tage of a majority in the Board of Trustees and they voted to establish the institution here. Instruction was entered upon at the beginning of the academic year 17 16-17 ! but the students at Wethersfield refused to go and formed the nucleus of a rival col lege. The Legislature did not interfere ; commencement was held at New Haven in 17 17 ; and the Trustees began to build a college hall. Thereupon the diversion was made in favor of Middletown which came so near succeeding. YALE COLLEGE. 287 At the time Isaac3 Dickerman first entered the Legislature, the Wethersfield College was still going on, and, the following sum mer, held its Commencement ; conferring degrees on the same day with the College at New Haven. But many things combined to place the latter in the lead. The Legislature recommended that the scholars at Wethersfield receive their degrees at New Haven, and ordered the students to go down thither, while the Trustees at New Haven smoothed the path to a settlement of diffi culties by their conciliatory course. The Wethersfield boys were found to be a turbulent lot and, early in 1719, they all left in a body and went back to their old camping grounds. The College, however, was now established in its new home with a commodious building for its use, and such a boyish outburst was short-lived. This is said to have been the only time in which New Haven was victorious in a contest with Hartford. The rival city at the north won in the early controversy by which the two colonies were consolidated, and in the recent struggle through which Hart ford became the sole capital of the state. But in the strife to obtain Yale College the city by the Sound was the winner. Long after this, Isaac6 Dickerman seems to have been regarded in the Legislature as the especial representative of Yale interests, as shown in the following votes : May, 1736. " Upon the report of the Committee for repairing Yale College of sundry disbursements ; this Assembly order that Capt. Isaac Dickerman draw out of the public treasury for defraying the same and perfecting the repairs of said College the sum of fifty pounds." Oct., 1736. " The Assembly order, That the sum of fifty-three pounds eighteen shillings and three pence be paid out of the public treasury unto Messrs. Isaac Dickerman and John Punderson, which together with fifty pounds granted in May last is in full for repairing Yale College." Oct., 1736. "This Assembly do appoint and impower Mr. Isaac Dickerman and Mr. John Punderson to proceed to make further repairs of Yale College and to draw out of the Colony treasury the sum of twenty-four pounds to be improved for that service." In those days movement and change were in the air. Forces of life which had long been gathering vigor were pushing forward to new unfoldings. A comprehensive glance may help one to understand the situation. From the planting of New Haven to the close of the last century it was 160 years. Divide this into four equal periods of forty years and each has a characteristic note. 288 ISAAC3 DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. With the first, 1638-1678, it was The Pursuit of Ideals. The set tlers came " seeking a country " — and not merely a land to dwell in, but to dwell in after a higher way. The thought of the second period, 1678-17 18, was Occupation of the Country. It was an age of business, full of energy and enter prise, of bold planning, shrewd management and strenuous toil. The ideals were not lost — no more than an architect's designs are lost in the process of building when masons, carpenters and artists work without seeing them — they were only out of sight that they might pass into fulfillment in the lives of men and of families. The third period, 1718-1758, was one oi Defining Positions. Then occurred what is known as "The Great Awakening.'' People paused in what they were doing and asked why they were doing it. They turned to their ideals, their standards of life, to test themselves and to try their work. The fourth period, 1 758-1 798, was marked by The Assertion of Principles. Its events were the Declaration of Independence and the establishment of the Republic. Turning now to the third forty years, the course of events is fraught with meaning. At their beginning, people hardly knew what they believed ; at their end the common people had learned to think, had grasped a philosophy of life and were ordering their conduct by it. The master mind of this period was Jonathan Edwards. He was one to whom, from his childhood, a philosophy of life was indispensable. From him first the age derived its new spirit of inquiry. Two incidents are given of the year 1722 which fore token those events which were coming. Yale College had received from England a quantity of valuable books which offered a rare feast to the scantily-supplied scholars of this region. Some of them were on Church Polity and these proved especially fascinating to a group consisting of President Cutler, Samuel Johnson, Jared Eliot, John Hart, Samuel Whittel- sey, James Wetmore, and Daniel Brown, all ministers of promi nence. They met from time to time in the library and with their readings engaged in earnest discussion on What was the true organi zation for a church? and What constituted valid ordination? The result was a paper presented to the College Trustees at Commencement questioning the usual ordination and declaring for Episcopacy. Three of the group who had only doubted concerning ordination became satisfied on this subject, but the others went on to become THE GREAT AWAKENING. 289 Episcopalians. The action set all New England in a ferment con cerning the meaning of their church order and how it was to be justified. The other incident is of Edwards. He was then a young man of nineteen, ministering to a small church in New York, and there made a new dedication of himself to God, vowing, "for the future to be in no respect his own, but to act as one who had no right to himself in anything." And in accord with this, he " used to retire frequently into a solitary place on the banks of Hudson's river, at some distance from the city, for contemplation on divine things and secret converse with God." This was the beginning of that " enduement of power " which swayed the people as in a new pen- tecost. Edwards was a tutor in Yale College for two years, 17 24-1 7 2 6. He married in 1727 Sarah Pierpont, a daughter of Rev. James Pierpont. Her sister was the wife of Rev. Joseph Noyes, and her brother was Mr. James Pierpont, who became very prominent afterward in church affairs. This made New Haven almost like another home to the great divine. His ministry in Northampton was begun in 1727, and in 1735 came the first stirrings of that religious movement which swept over the country and turned men's minds to thinking on those profound themes of sin and righteousness and judgment, of con duct and character, of peace with God and eternal redemption. This was essentially an intellectual movement, as every sound religious awakening must be. Starting with the greatest intellect of the period, it soon drew to itself other men of the highest attain ments who gave to it their ardent support and untiring exertions. Among these were Rev. Benjamin Colman D.D., and Rev. Wil liam Cooper of Boston, both of whom were chosen to the presi dency of Harvard College, though they never served ; Rev. Jona than Dickinson, D.D., the first president of Nassau Hall, now Princeton University, and Rev. Samuel Finley, one of his succes sors ; Rev. Eleazer Wheelock, D.D., who instituted Moore's Indian School at Lebanon, and became the first president of Dartmouth College ; Rev. Joseph Bellamy, D.D., who afterward conducted a famous Divinity School at Bethlehem and trained many eminent ministers for their work ; Rev. Samuel Hopkins, D.D., a theo logian of eminence and the first great advocate of the abolition of American slavery ; Rev. David Brainerd the missionary to the Indians, and a multitude of others, the brightest and most earnest 19 29O ISAAC DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. minds ; who worked intensely at that season of opportunity, and grew able by working, so that they could inaugurate large educational plans and give them permanence in institutions. In the excitement that attended the work, there came in many extravagances and follies. This was inevitable in a popular agita tion so universal and profound. Every high tide throws up refuse on the shore. But the refuse is not the tide. With the beginning of the interest in Northampton under Edwards there was a similar work in New Haven which united Christians generally and had their fullest approval. In 1739, Rev. George Whitefield came to America, and, having preached to large crowds in Philadelphia, New York and other places, accepted an urgent invitation of certain Boston ministers to come to New England. His work in Boston and vicinity was received with favor and produced a profound impression on the thousands who gathered to hear him ; this impression remained after he had gone and bore fruit in revived life among the churches. From Boston he went to Northampton, having an especial desire to see Edwards on account of the revival- of 1735. This visit was most happy in all ways. Throngs gathered to listen to the great preacher and multitudes were turned to a religious life. A strong attachment grew up between the two great workers for souls, con tinuing as long as they lived. Whitefield went from there to New Haven, where he was enter tained by Mr. James Pierpont, the brother of Mrs. Edwards. The Legislature was in session and he remained from Thursday till after the Lord's day, preaching with the usual results : of which Governor Talcott said, "Thanks be to God for such refreshings on our way to heaven." Up to this time there had been unity and harmony in the New Haven church. But not long after, a division ensued which widened till it involved the whole community. The occasion of the division is plainly given as dissatisfaction with the pastor, Rev. Joseph Noyes, who was then in the 25th year of his ministry : but the line of cleavage was between friends of the new movement and those more conservative people who looked upon it with deep concern. It may be significant that Whitefield came while the Legislature was in session and had the representatives to hear him. How he preached or what particular points he touched, at this time, we are not told. "We only know how he usually preached. He was WHITEFIELD S VISIT. 291 fervent, incisive and bold, uttering truth in a way to stir the conscience, and to lead men to decisions which changed the whole trend of their life. It was only natural, therefore, that he should have set these New Haven hearers to defining their positions — members of the General Court as well as others. After his departure, there arose a number of itinerant preachers who devoted themselves to carrying on the work after his methods. Among these was Rev. James Davenport, a great grandson of Rev. John Davenport, the founder. His father was Rev. John Davenport of Stamford : his mother Elizabeth Morris of New Haven, sister of the John Morris alluded to on page 304 : and his brother was Abraham Davenport famed for his coolness on " the dark day," which Whittier describes in one of his poems. He was educated at Yale College, where he was graduated in 1732, with a class of 32 members, one of whom was his brother Abraham. He had, therefore, listened to Mr. Noyes' preaching and been under his pastoral care during the impressible period of his college life. He was related to many New Haven families, and the people, we may suppose, felt a special interest in him because of his name and ancestry. For a number of years he had been the esteemed pastor at South- old, L. I., before Whitefield came. His uncle by marriage was Rev. Eleazar Wheelock, who had been conspicuous in the revival of 1735, and was now one of the ablest itinerants. Mr. Davenport concluded that he too was called to this sort of work and left his parish to engage in it. He proved to be ill-balanced and his heated imagination led him to wild extravagances. Coming to New Haven less than a year after Whitefield's visit, he found the effects of that visit remaining and perhaps already grown to a wide spread dissatisfaction with the condition of things in the church. Certainly the movement for a new society was clearly defined too soon after Mr. Daven port's arrival for us to suppose that it began with him. A leader in the revolt was Mr. James Pierpont, son of the former pastor and brother of Mrs. Noyes and Mrs. Edwards, with whom Whitefield was entertained during his stay. Many others were associated with him who had always lived in New Haven and grown up in the old church. The names of 38 men were enrolled on the paper brought into the Society's meeting in December. How many other men less outspoken, and how many women besides, were of like mind, we are left to conjecture. No doubt 292 ISAAC DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. there were enough to make a deal of noise in a place of two or three thousand people. Coming back to familiar scenes, mingling among old friends, his mind already charged to overflowing with the fervor that was abroad in the land, we can imagine his emotions as he talked with one and another who spoke of the saintly Pierpont, the faithful Street, or his own great sire and the godly ministry of other days, while bemoaning the evil times on which the church had now fallen. Much has been said of the mischief this young man wrought in the community. Possibly too little has been said of the mischief the community wrought in the young man. We can hardly question his high motives, and his later life proves that he was not an utter hypocrite. For a time he was allowed to preach in the church but behaved in such a way that he could not be tolerated there. He took ground against the pastor as an unworthy man and publicly- declaimed about him in the harshest manner. His course in general was so passionate, so headstrong, so grotesque, — altogether so like the conduct of a madman, that people of sound judgment were in dismay. Most of the community rallied to the support of their pastor and a strong reaction set in, not only against this misguided enthusiast but against Whitefield and the whole movement. Those, however, who were disaffected proceeded to take steps for organizing another society and presented the paper already referred to, at the meeting of the First Society, Dec. 28, 1741- This paper was as follows : "To the First Soeiety in the town of New Haven: — Whereas we, the sub scribers, have, by long and sorrowful experience, found that the preaching and conduct of the Rev. Mr. Noyes has been in great measure unprofitable to us, and that we also have reason to think that he differs from us in some points of faith, we desire (not as we hope out of any prejudice to the persons of Mr. Noyes and our brethren and friends of the society, to whom we heartily wish all good), that they would allow us and others that may incline to join us, to draw off from them in charity, wishing to be a distinct society, that we may put ourselves under the best advantage to worship God, under such means, as he in his good provi dence may allow and we hope will bless, for our spiritual good and edification." A system then prevailed under which the churches were a good deal in subjection to the civil power. Salaries and expenses of every kind were paid by taxation and the General Court was in the habit of interposing when the affairs of a church were not going on satisfactorily. COERCIVE MEASURES. 293 Here was a case where such interference might be called in and it was not long before the opportunity was improved. In May 1742, the General Court passed a law forbidding any minister ordained or licensed to enter the parish of another minister to preach there without an invitation from him and a majority of his parish: and ordering that, if any foreigner or stranger should violate the law'he should be sent as a vagrant from "constable to constable" out of the colony ; and if any minister in the colony should do so he should be deprived of his salary ; and if any unlicensed person should exhort within the limits of any parish without consent of the pastor and people he should be bound to keep the peace in the penal sum of one hundred pounds. The avowed purpose was to extinguish the "new lights," as they were called, and this purpose was followed up with an unre lenting severity which reminds us more of the oppressions under Laud and Strafford than any other chapter of Connecticut history. Rev. Dr. Dutton, referring, in 1859, to the experience of those who went out from the old church at this time, gives the following account : "They could gain no permission to form an ecclesiastical society, nor to hold public worship. They did have public worship, however, but under much oppression. For eighteen years they were taxed for the support of the church which they had left, besides bearing a heavy voluntary burden for the support of their own church. Then, for a large part of that eighteen years they could have no regular minister, at least, not without having him molested, fined and pun ished by the officers of the law. For attempting to preach to that church Rev. Samuel Finley — afterward President of Princeton College — was arrested and carried out of the colony as a vagrant. He had previously been treated in the same way for preaching to a church 'which separated' in Milford."* There will be occasion to refer again to this law and the spirit of intolerance which prevailed in the account to be given of Rev. Philemon Robbins of Branford. It becomes an interesting question, What part Isaac Dickerman bore in these proceedings ? He was now in his 64th year, having been a deacon for thirteen years and a member of the society's committee for the same length of time, besides holding important civil offices. Moreover, in serving on committees of the General Court he probably had seen more of church quarrels and how it was necessary to manage them than any other man in town. It was evidently fitting that a magistrate and officer of the * Ecclesiastical History of Connecticut, page 120. 294 ISAAC3 DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. . church, in such a position of affairs, should be careful to stand aloof from both parties and hold himself in a judicial attitude, where, in case of a trial he could give a decision that would be taken as unbiased. The indications are that this was his course, steadily pursued for some thirteen years. In going carefully through the First Society's records for this period, one fails to discover a sign of leaning toward one side or the other. He seems to be intent on holding the balances with an even hand, a true Justice of the Peace. When that memorial asking permission to form a new society was presented, he was a member of the standing committee, and it devolved on him with seven others to " treat with Mr. Noyes and Mr. James Pierpont and others what is proposed to be done in this critical day." And from year to year he was reelected on that committee through the whole dreary struggle. All the other members were changed, but he was continued as long as he lived — strongest proof that he was a man in whose judgment the peo ple trusted. Turning to the reports of the Connecticut General Assembly, however, we come upon a fact to arrest our attention. In Oct. 1740, Isaac8 Dickerman is not returned to this body, and for 12 con secutive terms his name is missed. He had been the representa tive for 44 terms previous to this ; he was chosen for 15 terms after this ; but here he is absent for 12 terms ; and the first of these is that which follows the coming of James Davenport to New Haven.* It will be remembered that there was an emergency touching Yale College when he was first chosen in 1718, and that the dan gers then imminent were averted by the prudent conciliatory pol icy pursued. Here was another emergency, and it would seem to us to-day that, if ever there was need of a conciliatory course, this was a time for it. But the strength of popular sentiment was for coercion. Isaac3 Dickerman was not the man for that sort of work. And so he was left at home. The representatives chosen were Mr. John Hitchcock and Cap tain Jonathan Ailing. Both of these had been in the Assembly before, at different times, as colleagues of Isaac3 Dickerman. They were now there together and were regularly returned till Oct. * He was in the Assembly as follows : May, 1718 to October, 1723 ; October, 1724 to May, 1736 ; October, 1737 to May, 1741 ; October, I747 to May, 1751 ; May, 1752 to May, 1753 ; May, 1756 to October, 1757. CONCILIATORY MEASURES. 295 1744, when Captain John Hubbard was chosen in the place of Captain Ailing, — though Mr. Hitchcock was still continued till, in Oct. 1847, he was displaced by the return of Captain Dicker- man. In the Society's records, April 18, 1744, is the entry : "Voted that Col. Joseph Whiting Esq. and Capt. Jonathan Ailing and Dea. John Hitchcock, be agents or attorneys for said Society, to take advice, and represent to the Hon. General Assembly, the doings of said separatists, in case they do not desist, — and prosecute them in the law, if it be thought advisable." This action was taken in view of proceedings begun by the withdrawing church for the erection of a house of worship. Their selection for such a committee was quite fitting, as giving them opportunity for carrying out the policy embodied in their legisla tion. At the same meeting another committee was appointed. "The Society entering upon the consideration of the separate party's raising a meeting-house . . . voted that the same is very grievous to the said Society, and that they esteem it very hurtful to the public peace of said Society ; and that Col. Joseph Whiting, Esq., Dr. John Hubbard and Mr. Jonathan Mansfield be a committee from said Society, immediately to represent to said separatists that their doings herein are unlawful and hurtful and esteemed a public nuisance, and to desire them forthwith to desist in their work." Efforts were made in the society to bring about a reconciliation between the two parties. It was plain from the beginning that this could only be done by having some other preacher besides Mr. Noyes. The committee to whom the memorial was referred advised, "That Mr. Noyes be asked to call in the assistance of Rev. William Russell of Middletown, and Rev. Jonathan Edwards of Northampton, to consult meas ures to promote peace amongst us, and to advise the church and society in so important an affair." The society adopted the suggestion. Mr. Russell and Mr. Edwards came. After consultation they advised obtaining a col league for Mr. Noyes. This advice was accepted and measures instituted to carry it into effect. The invitation was tendered to Rev. Aaron Burr of Newark, then to Mr. Chauncey Whittlesey ; but nothing was accomplished, and it was the impression that Mr. Noyes did not heartily favor it, though it continued to be talked about. 296 ISAAC3 DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. Meanwhile the separate church became definitely organized and continued to grow, notwithstanding the opposition. In 1744, Whitefield made another visit to America. The General Associa tion of Connecticut, hearing of his intention to pass this way, voted their disapproval and advised that ministers should not admit him to their pulpits. He came to New Haven in 1745, and was not invited to Mr. Noyes' pulpit ; but a platform was made before Mr. Pierpont's house and he preached to a congregation so large that neither of the churches could have held it. This, like other things, helped the new church, and was no benefit to the old. The "new lights" now had their house of worship, and preach ing — sometimes from men who were among the most attractive in the country — Wheelock, Bellamy and others. The air of New Haven was not congenial to religious persecution, and the more it was tried the stronger grew the movement at which it was aimed. About 1747-8, it became evident that the new church had come to stay, and the common sense of the community began to accept the situation. Mr. Noyes saw that it might be well for him to have a colleague if one could be obtained to suit him, and sug gested it of his own accord. fan. 1748-g. Voted in the Society "that Rev. Mr. Clap, Isaac Dicker- man and John Hitchcock be a committee of the Society to procure some gentle man on trial in order for a colleague with Mr. Noyes." fan. 1730. Voted in the Church to the same effect, and the same committee was appointed. Then comes an effort for conciliation. fan. 13, i74g-jo. " Voted, that Messrs. Isaac Dickerman, John Hitchcock, John Hubbard, James Pierpont, Jos. Mix, Jos. Trowbridge, Samuel Cook, Chauncey Whittelsey, James Peck, Jr. , Abraham Thompson and John Potter be a committee to consider the present state of the society with relation to the religious differences subsisting among us, and propose some scheme for a union or preventing further separation." Four of these names are of the "separatist" party, James Pier pont, Jos. Mix, Samuel Cook and Abraham Thompson. This indicates a growing spirit of toleration, though the committee seems never to have made a report. In 1 75 1, Rev. Samuel Bird was called to be pastor of the new church and conditioned his acceptance on a removal of the diffi culties with the First Church. Steps were taken to bring about THE CHURCH IN YALE COLLEGE. 297 reconciliation, but meeting with no response from the First Church, Mr. Bird was settled without it. He proved to be an acceptable pastor and preacher and his church rapidly increased in numbers and in strength. The affairs of the First Church now became critical. It was a serious thing not to have acceptable preaching in their house, and more serious now than ever before. Dr. Bacon in his "Historical Discourses," p. 240, tells a story that illustrates the situation. " President Clap once undertook to expostulate with Mr. Noyes for not preaching better. ' You do not know,' said Mr. Noyes, ' what an ignorant peo ple I have to preach to.' ' Yes, I do,' said the President, ' and I know that as long as you preach to them in this way, they always will be ignorant.' " President Clap had to consider the interests of the college and of the students who attended Mr. Noyes' preaching. We can be sure that he did not lag in his efforts on that committee to get a colleague for Mr. Noyes ; and as Capt. Dickerman had been trying for over ten years to bring about this very thing, it is not likely that he was idle .about it. Something happened now which led both of these men to quit Mr. Noyes and the First Church at about the same time. Dr. Bacon suggests that the " President and the other members of the College Corporation appear to have become convinced that Mr. Noyes was at heart opposed to receiving a colleague ; and that he had art enough to defeat all efforts to that end." If this was the case it also affords ample explanation for the course of his com panion on the committee. In 1753, President Clap took the students away from the First Church and commenced public worship in the college hall ; and in April, 1754, Capt. Dickerman joined the White Haven Church.* It is a noteworthy coincidence that in Oct. 1753, a little after the withdrawal of the College people from the First Church, Isaac Dickerman is again missed from the General Assembly and is not returned for the next two years. A recent writer on these events suggests that political motives * "April 2, 1754, Deacon Isaac Dickerman as a token of his love and affection hath given a piece of plate to this Church as follows, viz. A silver cup with two handles containing about a pint beer measure marked at the bottom with the capital letters I ¦* R to be used by the Church in remembrance of the donor." — First Church Records. It is pleasant to think that the First Church has been using the parting gift of this venerable deacon, during all these years, at the Lord's Supper, the sacred feast of Christian fellowship and mutual love. 298 ISAAC3 DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. had much to do with the positions men took. Such an explana tion is to be tested by individual cases. And in this case, what political motive could have led to the attitude taken by Isaac Dickerman at the beginning of the strife — or to his new attitude under these changed conditions ? Instead of bringing a political advantage in either case, it cost him his seat in the Assembly — or at least it looks so. It would seem as if his uniting with the "separatists" must have led to his dismissal from the Society's committee, but it did not ; he was re-elected every year after this, the same as before : while with him on the committee were John Hubbard, John Hitchcock, Jonathan Ailing and Jonathan Mansfield, all staunch adherents of Mr. Noyes and identified with the coercive measures. In the early list of disaffected members we do not find the name of any descendant of Abraham2 Dickerman, but when Isaac3 Dickerman united with the White Haven Church he seems to have taken a number with him, and in the roll of Mr. Bird's party, subscribed in 1757, we find his two sons Jonathan4 and Stephen4, while Samuel4's name is not down in either party. Probably he had joined the church at North Haven, as in 1758 he was one of the society's committee at Mt. Carmel. After the death of their father, Jonathan4 joined the Mt. Carmel church ; Stephen4 returned to the First Church and his name is on the roll made out by the General Assembly Oct. 1759. On this roll, too, are found the names of Susannah, Joseph4 and John6 Dickerman who had steadily adhered to the First Church. With this new withdrawal of members, things were hastened to a crisis in the First Church, and it was plain that the " separ atists " were likely very soon to have control of the Ecclesiastical Society. In I7SS» Rev- Naphtali Daggett was elected Professor of Divinity in the College, and, proving to be an acceptable preacher, an effort was made to have him become a colleague with Mr. Noyes and bring the College back into union with the First Church. A call was extended to him Jan. 12, 1756, and on the same day a vote was passed, "That this Society is willing that those inhabitants who ordinarily attend on the ministry of Mr. Bird should be exempted from paying any part of such taxes" as might be laid for the support of Mr. Daggett, "and that they and their posterity be made a body corporate or ecclesiastical society, provided they apply to the General Assembly therefor and be set off from this Society." TRIUMPH OF THE "NEW LIGHTS." 299 The call to Mr. Daggett was declined, the College corporation having fully decided to maintain public worship within their own walls. Action was then taken, Jan. 26, 1756, for a division, and a committee of twelve was appointed, of which Isaac3 Dickerman was a member, "To consider about the differences in the Society and project some method or plan to divide this Society in some just and reasonable manner." This committee does not appear to have arrived at any result. But the party of Mr. Bird was constantly gaining and had come to be in the majority. When it was voted to appeal to the Gen eral Assembly, Jan. 10, 1757, to have two societies and an enroll ment was made, there were found to be 109 in Mr. Noyes' party and 212 in that of Mr. Bird. The next step was to call Mr. Bird to be the Society's pastor, to arrange for him to hold public worship in the "separatists'" house and to vote a salary for his maintenance. This was done June 13, 1757, and Mr. Bird accepted the call. No salary was provided for Mr. Noyes, but the following vote was passed, in which we see a grim humor : " That the Society's committee be a committee to wait on Mr. Noyes and inform him what salary the Society have granted him and see if he will accept thereof for his salary the coming year ; also voted that the said Society's com mittee be a committee to wait on the Rev. Mr. Bird with the foregoing vote, relating to his maintenance, &c. , and see if he will accept thereof and report their doings to the Society at the next meeting." This action was followed Oct. 10, following, with another vote giving a number of reasons for it, and stating "That the Society think it not reasonable to grant further support for the Rev. Mr. Noyes or that he should continue to preach any longer in this Society. Therefore voted that Messrs. Isaac Dickerman, Timothy Jones, David Wooster, Samuel Cook, John Eliot, Daniel Lyman and Phineas Bradley be a committee to wait on the Rev. Mr. Noyes and inform him that for the foregoing reasons it is the desire of this Society that he should desist his ministerial labors in this place and that no further provision will be made for his support." This shows that the long struggle was practically ended in the triumph of the party which for eighteen years had been contend ing for freedom of worship. There were further incidents before affairs were finally and equitably adjusted, but the end was no longer in doubt. It is interesting to observe that four months later, Feb. 28, 1758, Mr. Chauncey Whittelsey was ordained to be a colleague pastor 300 ISAAC3 DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. of Mr. Noyes. Oddly enough this was done against a protest of the Society, voted Feb. 7, 1758, at a meeting of which Isaac3 Dick erman was moderator. Nevertheless it proved a happy event and greatly helped the solution of difficulties. One cannot help think ing how much trouble might have been saved if Mr. Noyes had gracefully yielded to the advice of his friends at the outset and heartily co-operated in their efforts to obtain an assistant pastor. With these events the life of Isaac3 Dickerman draws to its close. He is now eighty years of age and his interest in public concerns has not flagged nor his activity ceased in passing the line of four-score. He was at the last three Society meetings held before his death and presided over them as moderator ; the last was on May 3, 1758, and the September following he passed away. Over one hundred and twenty years had gone since his father was carried up, as a little child, from the landing at Dorchester, and these two lives spanned the whole cycle. A century had passed since the marriage of Abraham Dickerman and Mary Cooper, and now there were some two hundred families which had sprung from them, and their descendants were upward of four hundred. In the country all around they were to be found in thriving homesteads, energetically engaged in subduing the wild lands and laying with solid materials the foundations of a new era — at East Haven, Woodbridge, Branford, Mt. Carmel, North Haven, Cheshire and Wallingford. Latent in these were volumes of history yet to be written. David Beecher was already hammering on his anvil in New Haven, Jonah Todd was practic ing medicine in New Milford, Major Isaac Foote had already fin ished his bright career as a Christian soldier, Chandler and Ammi Robbins were pursuing their studies in preparation for the min istry, and others whose names are unknown to fame were doing their work with equal fidelity. During those eighty years in which Isaac3 Dickerman lived, wonders had been wrought, and the preparation of greater won ders to come. Especially was this so during the last forty years. This had been a period of intellectual as well as physical energy. There had been furious contentions, and great bitterness and many a sin against the spirit of charity, but in it all there had been honest, earnest thought and a growing interest in getting at the truth of things. In the attrition of the strife mental incrusta tions were scoured off ; habits of lethargy were lost ; people became more genuine, more intense in their stirrings of soul and more alive. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PERIOD. 30 1 In this there was a stride forward for the whole people ; " old lights " or " new lights," everybody was thinking differently in 1758 from what they did in 17 18, and their thinking was a vast deal better — clearer, sounder, more sensible as well as more spiritual. The founding and growth of colleges is a sign of this, and the great multiplication of churches is another sign. There was a hunger for soul food, for sharp distinctions, for positive convictions, for the basal laws of conduct. Hence the pro duction of philosophical works like those of Edwards. This was his period and he died in this same closing year, 1758. In this intellectual and spiritual growth, there was progress also in the direction of an independent nationality. This is set forth by Dr. Leonard Bacon in the following passage : " During the period which has now been reviewed, the country was passing through the struggles of the 'old French wars.' The French monarchy had formed a gigantic scheme of dominion in America. Having possessed itself of the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence, it was stretching a chain of forts and trad ing stations from one to the other, and was designing to sweep the English from the continent. Two protracted wars, of which the greatest brunt and burthen came upon New England, annihilated that ambitious project. The first, in which France and Spain were allied against Great Britain, commenced in 1740, and ended in 1748 with the treaty of Aix la Chapelle. This war was signalized by that most adventurous exploit on the part of the New Englanders, the cap ture of Louisburg ; and it first made Great Britain acquainted with the iron energy that was developing itself in this unnoticed corner of her empire The second of these wars commenced in 1755, and ended in 1760 with the con quest of Canada, and the destruction of the French scheme of empire on this continent. In this war Connecticut distinguished herself even above her sister colonies. She had no immediate interest. Her territory was not invaded ; her hearths and her altars were far from the scene of conflict. Yet, year after year she spontaneously furnished a double quota of men and of all the materials of war. For three successive campaigns she kept in the field, at her own expense, an army of five thousand men — hardy freeholders who knew how great was the prize for which they were contending, and who, by that lavish expenditure of treasure and of blood, opened the boundless west to be planted by the sons of New England and to be filled with New England institutions. Thus the colonies were made to know their own strength. They learned that their own armed yeomanry, contending for their rights, for their hopes, for their posterity, were better on the march and in the battle than the mercenary soldiers of Britain. And when, about twelve years from the close of the last French war, the long expected crisis came and the country rose in arms to the awful struggle for its independence, all was ready. Those who commanded at Bunker Hill, those who formed and trained the continental armies and led them to their victories, were men who, in the preceding conflicts, had learned the art of war by contact with its stern realities." — Historical Discourses, pages 241-2. 302 ISAAC3 DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN. In reviewing the incidents of Isaac8 Dickerman's life, diverse estimates will undoubtedly be formed respecting his career. But all must admire his energy, his judicial temper and his tireless devotion to public interests. He not only shows us the traits of a good citizen, but many qualities of the statesman. As he became advanced in life, he transferred large portions of his real estate to his sons. April 8, 1754, he deeded to Samuel4 164 acres, with half of 109 acres more and a dwelling house and barn ; and on the same day he deeded 130 acres to Jonathan4 with the other half of the 169 acres and a dwelling house and barn. This property was in Mt. Carmel and included the farm inherited from him by his great- grandson Ezra" Dickerman. The dwelling house is said to have stood on ground a few yards north of the old house now standing. A large package of deeds made by the original owners of wild lands in this region to Isaac3 Dickerman has been handed down in the family and is now in possession of the authors of this work. May 10, 1756, Isaac3 Dickerman transferred to his son Stephen4 half of his dwelling house and homestead and also half of his land in Plainfield and Cooper's Quarter. This was property in New Haven, and the whole of it passed to Stephen4 Dickerman by the will after his father's death. The estate was appraised at £7 11. 4. 9., of which £609. 4. 9. was in real estate and included about 245 acres of land. The following is his will, as found in New Haven Probate records : At a Court of Probate held at New Haven in the District of New Haven on the 21 day of Oct': A. D.: 1758 : Present John Hubbard Esq'.

He is reported to have died in 1740. He was probably unmarried." Captain Isaac2 Dickerman was buried in the old graveyard on the New Haven Green, where his parents, his first wife and three sons were laid before him. On the removal of the gravestones in 1820, those of Abraham2 and Mary Dickerman were placed in Grove Street cemetery where they are still in good preservation, but that of Captain Isaac4 Dickerman is not to be found. We are told that it was taken possession of by his great granddaughter Rebecca Munson, but none of her family can tell where it is now. CHART IX. ELIAKIM HALL'S CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.

ELIAKIM HALL OF WALLINGFORD. " The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts ; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs." — George Eliot. In the settlement of Wallingford, begun in 1670, most of the people were from New Haven, and among these was the great grandfather of Eliakim Hall. His name, John Hall, is in the list of householders at New Haven, to whom lots were assigned in the first division of outlands, which indicates that he was there before 1641. His sons, John, Samuel and Thomas, were signers of the first plantation covenant, entered into in New Haven preparatory to making the Wallingford settlement, though his own name does not appear till the covenant of 1672.* The position of Wallingford, so near Farmington, Middletown, Wethersfield, Hartford and Windsor, led to constant intercourse with those towns and to intermarriage with their families, out of which grew ties of intimate relationship. So the ancestral homes of Wallingford people were in many different communities. In this they differed from many of the New Haven people. This will be seen on comparing Charts X and XI with Charts VI and VII The mother of Eliakim Hall was Mary Lyman, a granddaughter of Richard and Sarah (Osborne) Lyman, who came from England to Boston in 1631, and were among the pioneers who founded Hartford in 1640. In the Lyman Family, by Rev. Lyman Coleman, D.D., there is an extended account of the ancestry of Richard Lyman prepared from English records. He was of High Ongar, Essex County, and was baptized Oct. 30, 1580, and his wife was a daughter of Roger Osborne of Halstead in Kent. *The population of Wallingford in 1756 was 3,713, while that of the whole county was only i79i55°. It then embraced Cheshire, which was made a separate town in 1780. 308 ELIAKIM HALL. Henry Lyman, his father, was a son of John and Margaret (Gerard) Lyman. John Lyman, son of Henry and Alice (Hyde) Lyman. Henry Lyman, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Lambert) Lyman. Elizabeth Lambert, daughter of William Lambert (twelfth in descent from Sir Rudulphus Lambert who came to England with William the Conqueror) and his wife Johanna de Umphreville. Johanna de Umphreville was dau. of Thomas, son of Thomas, son of Gilbert de Umphreville. Gilbert de Umphreville was son of Gilbert, (eighth in descent from Sir Robert de Umphreville, a kinsman of William the Conqueror, who came with him to England), and his mother was Matilda, dau. of Malcolm, fifth earl of Angus, from whom the line is readily traceable to the Kings of Briton, Ireland and Normandy, and back to the beginning of the ninth century. It is easy to trace one's ancestry to crowned usurpers, titled freebooters and notorious desperadoes, like those who came to England with William, much easier than to identify that larger and better ancestry who bravely fought them in defence of their homes and their liberties, or in a meek and heavenly spirit suf fered and died for truth and the right — the innumerable multitude of heroes, confessors and martyrs of Christian England, Scotland and Ireland. If the lives of these nameless ones could speak to their sons and daughters from the silence which covers their dust, they might bring to us inspirations that would help us to be worthy of their steadfastness and their faith. Such inspirations never can come from William or his robber barons ; and as we trace the story of Richard Lyman and his descendants in America we shall seldom be reminded of them, but rather of the gentle heart, the attentive mind, the governed will of truly noble souls. The funeral sermon of Eliakim Hall was preached by his son- in-law, Rev. Nathan Williams, D.D. and contained the following remarks upon his character : "Few children are so happy in their parents. He has ever manifested the heart of a kind and affectionate father. His interest was never detached from theirs and to the utmost of his abilities he endeavored to promote their good." " With a compassionate heart and a liberal hand he ministered to the relief of the poor. Nor did he confine his charity to any party or sect, but reached forth the hand of kindness to all who needed his assistance. He made no merit of this, and never sounded a trumpet to call others to observe his deeds.'' "He took great pleasure in the society of worthy men, and was much respected by his numerous acquaintance, who always found him a hospitable WALLINGFORD, CONNECTICUT. 309 friend. He was a worthy member of society, and, with a ready mind, improved all his ability to promote the interests of church and state." " He was a friend to good order, to virtue and religion, and remarkable for his care to attend the worship of God's house in season and out of season. In this particular no man could set an example more worthy of imitation." " There are indeed but few present who were acquainted with him in the early part of his life. He was favored with a good constitution and knew well how to prize and improve this great blessing." A nephew of Mr. Hall was Hon. Lyman Hall, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and afterward Governor of Georgia. Eliakim Hall=Ruth4 Dickerman. 154.

We visited at your grandfather's : he and his wife were both blind (Nicholas and Elizabeth (Hall) Jones) : after breakfast he recited a chapter in the Bible and I think my grand father led in prayer. Abner Hall lived within sight and hearing of my grand father's, before he went to Cornwall, Vt. Mary's mother died when Mary was a babe and my grandmother took her and kept her till she married. When I was young I started to write down what I could learn and what grandfather could tell me about the Hall family, but finally put it off till it was too late to write as much as 1 meant to. Your grandmother had one sister and four brothers who lived in Wallingford, Vt. Day Hall had land there, if he did not live there, and there were three besides him."

(244) Nicholas Jones was a descendant of William Jones, who married for his second wife Hannah Eaton, the youngest daughter of Gov ernor Theophilus Eaton, and was himself a deputy governor of New Haven colony. Governor Jones figured prominently in 316 REV. EDGAR J.8 DOOLITTLE. colonial affairs and was on the committee with Abraham Dicker- man to obtain the Wallingford patent, page 148. His grandson Theophilus Jones settled in Wallingford and became the father of a numerous family. Nicholas Jones was a farmer living in the west part of the town and his farm is still in possession of the family. A man of com manding presence whom no one ever thought of questioning, he bore a resemblance to Andrew Jackson, though he was not one of Jackson's admirers, being a strong Whig. When General Jack son visited Wallingford, people talked of this resemblance, to which Mr. Jones quietly replied " I do not know which has the compliment." When he was a young man he taught school winters in a dis trict known as " Parkers Farm," some two miles from his home. He used to tell how " he got up in the morning long before light, took care of his cattle, then set out for the woods and chopped awhile on his way to school, and did the same again on his return, and for his salary as a teacher received $8.00 a month, which was paid by the girls coming and spinning his tow and flax." Natur ally he thought his grandchildren all ought to teach, and most of them did. One of his grandsons tells of spending a night at his house years ago, and the old gentleman's insisting that he should mount a horse and go off twelve miles in a pouring rain to apply for a school where the pay was eleven dollars a month and "board around." The young man would not go and said he could do better, at which "grandpa" was indignant and said he would be "lazing around all winter and probably never amount to any thing." A few days later the grandson was there again, when the attack was resumed, urging that he lose no time about getting that school ; to which the reply was made that he had a school, and with the pay of $26.00 a month. This so staggered the old gentle man that he would not believe it till another came up and said it was so. This same grandson adds, " When I was a boy I used to visit my cousins and if we got into any doubtful fun and heard grandpa's voice we would take to the brush in a hurry, for a scold ing from him was worse than a sound flogging." Mr. Jones was quite blind in the last years of his life and found great delight in repeating long passages from the Bible with which he had stored his mind in early life. And because this was so rich a resource he urged the young to be always learning Scripture. If he was dignified in early manhood, in old age he was awe- (Sarah Jones) Mrs. Ezra Dickerman, p. 458 1 806-1 890 WALLINGFORD, CONNECTICUT. 3 17 inspiring. One of his daughters took her little son to see him during his last illness, and as they came out of the room the child timidly asked " Is that God ? " Mrs. Elizabeth8 (Hall) Jones was a gentle, self-forgetting wife and mother, living for her family and finding in their welfare her highest happiness. Her youngest daughter often told her children of the devotion and sweetness of disposition of their maternal grandmother. Mrs. Anna7 (Jones) Doolittle, like her mother, was a woman of very noble qualities. After her husband's death she bestowed her interest on the education and life-work of her son, and then on his family, in whom her traits still live. Rev. Edgar J.8 Doolittle is remembered by those who knew him as a man of rare excellence, sound in intellect, courageous in con victions and warm in his friendships. His early life was in New Haven, where he was born. After his father's death the family removed to Wallingford. He was a merchant's clerk in New Haven for a time until his decision to enter the ministry. After his graduation at Yale he spent two years in teaching the academy at Cromwell, and it was there that he made the acquaintance of Miss Sage, who afterward became his wife. He was for three years in the Yale Divinity School, where he came under the instruc tion of Dr. Nathaniel W. Taylor, who was then in his prime. His pastorate at Hebron was pleasant and successful and con tinued until Dec. 14, 1852, when he was dismissed to accept a call to the Congregational Church of Chester, Conn., where he was installed April 26, 1853. Here he was greatly beloved by his peo ple, and after he was obliged by failing health to take a dismission in April, 1859, he returned to them in 1861 and filled the place of a pastor for eight years longer. His health then forbidding further labor, he removed, in 1858, to Wallingford, where he spent the rest of his life in retirement. In a letter to his college class in 1874, he says : " My labors in Chester were continued with such results as should certainly make me thankful to the great Head of the Church for permitting me to labor in his vineyard. In both of my parishes I have been favored with a kind, intelligent and excellent people, and have had no reason to feel that Providence had not guided me to my fields of labor and blessed me in them." 318 STREET7 JONES' FAMILY.

The ancestors of Nathan Williams, given in Chart XI, were most of them prominent figures in early New England history. Rev. Richard Mather was leader of the colony that came to Dorchester in 1635 and was Thomas Dickerman's pastor. Rev. John Daven port was the joint leader with Eaton in founding the New Haven colony, where he was Abraham Dickerman's pastor. Rev. Abra ham Pierson was pastor of the church at Branford, and his son, Rev. Abraham Pierson, Jr., was the first president of Yale Col lege. Rev. John Warham was pastor of the church organized at Plymouth, England, in 1630, whieh came to Dorchester and made the first settlement there ; and then in 1636 removed to Windsor to found a new colony. He was with them in both these move ments, and continued their honored guide and counsellor as long as he lived. Dr. Williams' paternal grandfather was Rev. John Williams of Deerfield, famed in connection with the Indian massacre of 1704. It was he who was startled out of sleep in the dead of night by savages bursting into his house and murdering part of his family TOLLAND, CONNECTICUT. 333 while the rest with himself were led away in midwinter to Canada. It was his wife, Eunice Mather, too feeble for the journey, who was struck down on the way by a tomahawk. It was their daughter Eunice who was kept by the captors after others of the family had been redeemed, and brought up in the wigwams to become the wife of an Indian chief. Few stories are more thrill ing, and seldom has there been a higher illustration of heroism than the father gave in returning to the little frontier settlement, after the massacre, and spending the rest of his life there. Stephen Williams, the father of Nathan, was a boy of eleven at this time and was treated with especial severity by the Indians. Being separated from the rest of the family, he did not meet them again for fourteen months, and nearly two years passed before he arrived in Boston on his return. He afterward became a man of eminence. Graduated at Harvard in 1713, he was ordained at Longmeadow in 17 16 and continued his ministry there till his death, at the age of eighty-nine, a period of sixty-five years. Nathan Williams was graduated at Yale in 1755, was a member of the Yale Corporation for twenty years — from 1788 to 1808, and received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the College of New Jersey in 1794. He was ordained pastor of the Congregational church at Tolland, Conn., April 30, 1760, and held this office, like his father, to the end of his life, a period of sixty-nine years. A number of his sermons were published, the titles of which are given in a biographical sketch in Sprague' s Annals. Among these was one preached at the burial of Eliakim Hall at Walling ford from the text — Rev. xxi. 4 : And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes j and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain ; for the former things are passed away. A passage from this sermon is given on page 308. The following sketches are found in The History of Tolland. "The Rev. Doctor Williams holds a prominent place iu the history of Tol land. He has done more than any other person to form the character of its inhabitants. He was their only minister for more than fifty years, and occupied a prominent and influential position for nearly seventy years of his life. In person he was about five feet nine inches in height ; rather stout, with a body symmetrical and well proportioned. He was easy and graceful in his manners, social in his habits, interesting and instructive in his conversation, punctilious in etiquette, careful in his personal appearance, precise and select in his language, and in every way a gentleman of the old school. As a preacher he was strictly orthodox but quite liberal for the age in which 334 ELIAKIM H.6 WILLIAMS FAMILY. he lived. He was a good scholar, well educated, with a fair intellect and good common sense. His public performances were very creditable, and quite acceptable to his parishioners." " Mrs. Mary Williams was a perfect model for a minister's wife. Intelligent without vanity ; complacent without sycophancy ; devotedly pious without any forbidding pretensions, she exercised a salutary influence without any apparent effort. She taught by example as well as precept, and the duties of a wife and mother were not neglected nor forgotten in the pursuit of those that belong to the visionary philanthropist, or the chimerical moralist. She attended to the duties of her own household, and cared for the wants of her dependents, feeling that her happiness was best promoted when contributing to the enjoy ment of those around her. She was an economist, not for the purpose of acquiring wealth, but on account of the example to others. Doct. Williams possessed more of this world's goods, comparatively, than now ordinarily falls to the lot of country ministers, but it was never ostentatiously used. His home always exhibited comforts without extravagance, and great order and neatness without luxurious elegance.'' Mrs. Williams made it a matter of principle to live like her parishioners, although her means would have allowed her greater comforts. She was heard to say, during the last years of her life, that her children, when small, always went bare-footed to meeting in summer because some in the parish were unable to furnish theirs with shoes, so that no comparisons could be instituted between her children and others in that respect. Excellent portraits of Dr. and Mrs. Williams are in the posses sion of Mr. Burt Williams of Maumee, Ohio. !Mary Burt. Damaris Cory. Aurelia Howard. 174. Eliakim Hall" Williams, son of Rev.

" Children's children are the crown of old men ; and the glory of children are their fathers." — proverbs xvii. 6. Among the fathers of Mt. Carmel, Samuel4 Dickerman was one of the foremost. He was early on the ground : he owned and cultivated an extensive farm ; and, more important than every thing else, he brought up a large family and gave them such a training that they and the children after them performed well their part as good citizens. There may not be found a great proportion of these in the higher stations, nor many whose names are widely known, but with faithful industry they have borne their part, and their influ ence has been for the welfare of society. Nearly every useful occupation has engaged their attention and with the usual result of success. If few have become rich, not many have suffered from want, and their general character has been the sturdy independ ence which makes of opportunity a duty and gathers harvests from uninviting fields. One who is familiar with the land of Samuel4 Dickerman's farm will recognize how good a place it was for the development of industrious and frugal habits. It is noticeable that a number of the grandchildren of his sister Ruth4 Hall, went to Wallingford, Vermont, toward the end of the last century and made their homes there. In like manner a num ber of Samuel's4 grandchildren at about the same time went to Mt. Holly, which is near Wallingford, and his daughter Susannah, with her husband, settled in Rutland. These families, like those which came a little earlier to Brattle boro, furnished a large element toward the making of this new State, and their descendants are to be found in many Vermont towns. But more significant still is the fact that all these families have sent their representatives westward to bear their part as pioneers in settling the country and giving it character. And to-day they are an element of national strength and thrift from the farms of New York and Ohio to California and the ports of the Pacific. 344 SAMUEL DICKERMAN S FAMILY.

It is an interesting circumstance that Samuel Dickerman's wife was a daughter of Capt. Jonathan Alling, who is referred to on pages 294 and 298 as advocating a different policy from that of Capt. Isaac Dickerman — also that the marriage was less than a year before Capt. Alling was sent to the General Assembly in Capt. Dickerman's place. Evidently this family was privileged to hear the questions of the times discussed from two different points of view. I. Isaac6, b. Sep. 16, 1740. m. Sibyl Sperry. (177) II. Sarah6, b.

About 1790, or a little before, Simeon Dickerman made a visit to Vermont and decided to settle there. Returning to Mt. Car mel he married and removed with his bride to Mt. Holly, where they made their new home. Not long after, his three brothers, Amasa, Lyman and Isaac, joined them, and in due time married, respectively, three sisters whom they found there, Hannah, Abigail and Sarah Button. After Amasa and Lyman had mar ried, their father remarked that " he had buttons enough but he must have another Button added." From each of these four brothers there sprung a large family and their descendants have held stations of honor and influence throughout the country. c Miriam6 Dickerman.

He went to Mt. Holly in 1806, removed in 1819 to Dryden, where they lived on a farm three miles south of the village till 1859, and then came to the village for their remaining years. He traced his conversion, in 1810, to a remark of Rev. Lemuel Haynes, a colored minister at Rutland, Vt., who held religious services once in four weeks at his father's house. Both he and Mrs. Clark early united with the Congregational church at Mt. Holly, and on going to Dryden became members of the Congregational church there. This church became Presbyterian and he was ordained an elder July 18, 1821. MT. HOLLY, VERMONT. 349 They were active Christians during their long life and taught by their worthy example the lessons of practical every-day reli gion. Punctual at the services, faithful to duty, constant in prayer, earnest for reform, cordial helpers of their pastor and cherishing a strong confidence in God, they were indeed pillars of the church and greatly honored by those who knew them. 1.

By successful investments in real estate he laid the foundations of a com petence, and retiring from office became for a short time Cashier of The First National Bank. But not finding this altogether congenial he with drew, and thereafter employed himself in the care of his property and in an easy, graceful life devoted to home duties and the loving task of caring for a growing family. He had a natural gift for literary work and was a facile writer. Letters to friends were often full of genial humor and such a play of wit that they were passed from hand to hand until almost thumbed to rags. Genial in disposition, warm and sunny in his companionships, a devoted husband and father, he left behind him a memory that will be cherished with tender affection. Manly S.7 Dickerman= Abigail M.

In 1862 he volunteered in the 91st Reg. Ills. Vols., but was rejected for physical disability. He then went to Kansas to the Osage Mission, Neosho Co., and entered into trade with the Indians, living on the border and among them for five years and learning to speak three or four languages. He became an inde pendent scout for the United States Government against the Indians attached to the Southern confederacy in the region between Osage 364 ELLIOTT' DICKERMAN'S FAMILY. Mission and Fort Gibson and upon the Arkansas river. Once he rode a single horse a hundred and fifteen miles in one day ; again he rode a hundred and sixty miles in forty-eight hours, and at another time was in the saddle eleven days in succession, going from sixty to seventy-five miles a day. On these expeditions he had to do as he could for food, and once was out seven days with but one meal during the whole time. After this he had to start anew. He lost all his property by the plundering of guerillas and Indians, and after the war, July 15, 1865, obtained a permit of the Osage chief, for himself and his brother-in-law, S. W. Johnson, to settle on La Bette river, in what is now La Bette Co., Kansas. He went down first and built a cabin with only an axe, saw and augur for tools, and without a nail or a sawed board to work with. When they moved into it, the nearest neighbor was twenty-six miles away, and it was sixty- five miles to a store ; but game was abundant and the larder was never empty. Sep. 29, 1865, the government purchased from the Osage Indians a portion of their lands in Kansas, and the country was soon flooded with settlers. On the organization of the county Mr. Dickerman was appointed county clerk by the Gov ernor and was elected by the people to the same office. His wife died in 1867 and he took his children back to Illinois. Returning, he engaged himself as clerk and interpreter to a fur company, continued with them a year and then left the Indians for good. Having married a second wife he lived on a farm in La Bette Co. till 1883, when they moved to Oswego, Kansas, "where they now reside, and their latchstring ever hangs out to all of the Dicker- man race."

Arthur Lyman8, b. April 1869, at Colebrook River, Conn., d. Feb ruary 1 87 1, in Middlefield, Conn. Elliott7 Dickerman, the youngest child of the family, was left fatherless at the age of four. He was physically delicate but with a keen and active mind. At the age of seventeen he visited his brother in Illinois and was induced to teach in the winter a dis trict school. The country was rough then and so were the boys, and there were several contests over who should rule, which he settled by the force of superior will. Returning from the west, he attended school at Castleton Sem inary, where he made a reputation as a poet by some graceful verses that he wrote. He engaged in the work of a colporteur and in other occupations until he entered the ministry, joining the Vermont Conference in 1856. He filled several appointments, when his failing health obliged him to stop preaching for a time. Having a taste for machinery, he turned his attention that way and invented a clothes wringer. Going to Connecticut to dispose of the patent, he found a man who had invented a similar machine, each having worked out his idea without knowing of the other. The two machines were combined into The Universal Clothes Wringer and was manufactured at Middlefield, Conn., by a company, of which Mr. Dickerman was a member. This led to his removal with his family to that place. Here he preached occasionally, and after a while regularly, for three or four years. Being greatly interested in temperance reform, he bought and edited a paper which was published in Hartford under the name of The State Temperance Journal. Just at this time the State branch of the Prohibition Party was started and he assisted in it with enthusiasm. This was his last public work. He was first a Whig, then a Republican and last a Prohi bitionist. He was an unusually conscientious man, with a clear percep tion of right and wrong, and an unwavering determination to follow what he thought to be his duty regardless of consequences. As his ideas were progressive, this sometimes led him where most would fear to tread. After a short illness he died, proving in his death the efficacy of the truth he had preached. 366 ISAAC6 DICKERMAN'S FAMILY. Isaac6 Dickerman= Sarah Button. 187.

He was for many years a deacon and one of the main pillars of the Baptist church. He was also in responsible town offices, select man, lister, etc. He was Representative four years in the Legisla ture and Justice of the Peace, some ten or twelve years.

The following, concerning Alfred7 Roberts, is from a letter in The New York Journal of Commerce, reprinted in The Chenango American, Dec. 19, 1861 : " I met him first in the street of the Holy Sepulchre, at Jerusalem. A cooper by trade, in America, he had devoted himself to distributing Bibles wherever he could find persons to receive them. He had no property or means but declined connection with a society or personal pecuniary aid. He accepted money to be used in purchasing Bibles or Testaments, but for no other purpose. He worked his passage to Liverpool, thence to Malta, thence to Constan tinople, and finally to Jerusalem. The journey was one of some years and all the way he scattered the Word of God. In Malta he devoted himself for months to Italian sailors. In Constantinople American residents collected money to present him a new suit of clothes, but he declined it, accepted the donation in Bibles and wore his gray suit to Jerusalem. He knew no language but English, yet managed to converse with people of various tongues and to win the esteem of all. Pursuing his quiet way, he walked the streets year after year on his labor of love. His wants were few, his expenses a trifle. In 1858 he was disabled by infirmities and for the remaining three years lay patiently on his bed in an apartment tendered by the British Mission.'' 372 LEVI" DICKERMAN S FAMILY.

He was Clerk of Courts for a time and while thus employed began to have symptoms of consumption. On this 380 MILES" DICKERMAN'S FAMILY. account he went to New Orleans, where he became very ill, and was fortunate in. having the companionship of his cousin Quin Bradley with his wife. In the following April his pastor was going through the city on his way from New York, and he returned with him to Lafayette, where he died five days after his arrival. He was an earnest Christian and faithful in all relations. In Lafayette, he was at first without church privileges, but a young clergyman looking for a place to establish a church came that way, met him and decided to remain, he being at first the only communicant. Since then three strong churches have been established there. This clergyman was his companion in the journey from New Orleans and preached his funeral sermon. 1. Flora Augusta8 Bradley, b.

William Chatterton was in New Haven as early as 1646, when his name occurs in the seating of the church with that of Abra ham2 Dickerman. His grandson, Wait, Sr., was among those who with Samuel4 and Jonathan4 Dickerman made homes in the 39^ WAIT CHATTERTON'S FAMILY. wilderness, seven miles north of New Haven, at the foot of the mountain which gave their village its name.

Wait Chatterton, Jr., went to Rutland and united with the West Rutland church in 1785, was chosen deacon in 1802 and held the office till his death in 1837. His eldest son, Exi6, was also deacon in 1824, and then Exi's eldest son, Wait', till his death in 1865. The wife of the latter writes in December 1895 : " Of Susanna Dickerman Chatterton personally I can tell you very little. The most I remember is that I always saw her at church, and I was one of the choir that sang at her funeral, though I must have been a very young girl, for I am now almost eighty-five years old. But I know enough to say that she was one of the noblest women that ever lived. No woman could have raised such a family as she did without being noble in herself. Then she had a husband who might be called a saint on earth. He was in the war of 1812, was taken prisoner and sent to Halifax, where the treatment was such that all the prisoners but him and one other died. He was over ninety at his death and was deranged for six months. Physicians said there was a trouble in the head caused by wounds received in that war. Mrs. Chatterton was very retiring, one that looked well to the ways of her household ; and I know the influence of the family still lives : her character is seen in her children and children's children."

The valleys about New Haven, as in other parts of New Eng land, abound in springs. These, like the mountains, remain with little change. The forests may go and the fields take on a different aspect ; even the streams may lose their ancient features and become a chain of mill-ponds, but the brown cliffs stand as of old and the clear water wells from the rock just as it did when the stag drooped his antlers above it, or the red men gathered at its basin to slake their thirst. Tradition says it was the attractiveness of a spring and the brook flowing from it which decided the sons of Isaac8 Dickerman where to make their home. They had gone out from New Haven through the forest to look over the wild lands their father had bought in the neighborhood of Mt. Carmel, when tired and thirsty they came upon this thread of sparkling water.* The brook starts from a spring a few rods west of what is now the highway. The land around is a level meadow, but a ledge of rocks breaks the surface and tells of the subterranean fissure from which the water is forced up through the sand ever stirring in the depths of the pool. Years ago the brook ran on the top of the ground. Coming through the fence at the roadside, the water poured into a huge trough and rushing over the edge prattled across to the other side, where it ran under a fence to leap out in a little waterfall. The trough was a famous place in those times for watering teams when the farmers drove to town from Cheshire and South ington with the various products of farm and dairy, and as they drew up the remark was often heard, " My horse always drinks * The old folks used to say that they blazed their way through the woods by hatchet marks on the trees. 404 OLD HOMESTEAD. here," — testimony to the sweetness of the water. But "the water ing place " has long since disappeared, and one might now travel the road for years and never dream of the old way-mark by which the locality used to be known all up and down the turnpike. The canal first struck across the brook and a conduit of hollow logs was put down by which it was carried under the bed and brought up again beyond the tow-path. This was about 1825. Twenty years later came the railroad, running close by the high way and going right over the spot where the trough had stood. That led to the building of a culvert and putting the brook under ground. Next a railroad station was built there, which hid it still more. And now, although canal, railroad and station have all had their day and departed,* the much abused little brook con tinues to conceal itself till it gets beyond the road and the eyes of passers-by. There it sparkles a little while in the sunshine, spreads out over the meadow in the valley and vanishes, no one can tell whither. In early times the brook made a turn to the left just over the road, and then, winding to the right, went racing over a bottom of smallboulders down the hill to the meadow. This gave a spot of ground, about a hundred feet across, which was elevated and well drained, having the brook on two sides and sloping on the third into a fertile valley. This was the spot selected for building when all around was a wilderness ; and here stood the first homestead of the Mt. Carmel Dickermans. From the account already givenf it appears that Isaac3 Dicker- man was the owner of large tracts of land in this region. These consisted of lots laid out in the Sixth Division of sequestered lands. He began to buy these lots from those to whom they were originally assigned as early as 1727, and continued the purchases till 1745- Toward the end of this period his two older sons, Samuel and Jonathan, were married and most likely went out about that time to improve these lands and make a home there. They were closely associated and occupied much of the land in partnership. As their father divided a house between them, the indications are that they lived under the same roof as late as 1754. When the * The railroad now traverses another part of this town and is some distance to the west of the old line. t Pages 302-303. MT. CARMEL, CONNECTICUT. 405 will was drawn, however, in 1759, Jonathan seems to have occu pied the whole house. At that time there were nineteen children in the two families, which was reason enough for another abode. The original house remained for a long time, and till after a second had been built a little to the south. This is still in good preservation though over a hundred years old. Three successive generations were born and grew up on this homestead, and always for more than a hundred years there were young people and children about the place. To them the brook was a never-failing delight. It did more than supply the pure water requisite for household uses,* it gave to them no end of fun. Under the fall they set their small water-wheels ; in the smoother parts they sailed their boats ; here and there they built their dams ; as a business enterprise they made a pond for the ducks and geese ; in summer the girls set out wild flowers along the margin, and in winter the boys skated on the ice made by the overflow under the hill. As the young people arrived at manhood and womanhood they went from this home to make others of their own. Many of them lived near by, and fifty years ago families of the Dickerman name were more numerous than any others in this neighborhood. All this is now changed. Other people have the old places thereabouts, for the most part, while the sons and daughters of the village are dispersed over the whole country. Jonathan4 Dickerman= Rebecca Bassett. 156.

There was no well till about 1840, when a desire for cooler water in harvest time led Ezra Dickerman to offer one of his hired men, named Towsley, $100.00 if he would dig a well. The offer was taken and with much digging and blasting the shaft was driven down about 35 feet till it struck water in the red rock. 406 JONATHAN4 DICKERMAN'S FAMILY. 15th company or trainband in the 2nd regiment, and Oct. 1770, was made Lieutenant of the same company.

Joel Dickerman's name appears on the Massachusetts muster rolls ; "enlisted June 30, 1777, from Stockbridge, served 22 days in the Southern Department, Capt. David Pixley's Co., Col. John Brown's Reg't;" "enlisted July 13, 1777, served three days at Bennington in Capt. Ezra Whittlesea's Co. from Berkshire ; " "served from July 22 to Aug. 13, 1777, in Capt. William Francis' Co. ; " " served from July 18 to Aug. 22, 1779, at New Haven from Berkshire Co. in Capt. Ambrose Hill's Co. ; " " served 1781, John Bacon's Co., Col. Rossiter, re-enforcement to Gen. Stark at Still water." These items point to an active part in the revolutionary war. There were a number of Mt. Carmel people who early went to Stockbridge to settle, which may account for his being there. The story is handed down in the family that he was beset by Indians while out in a forest, and in escaping from them ran till he was so spent that he died from the effects of it. VIII. Amos6, b.

Benoni' Dickerman was a zealous and efficient conductor on the "underground railroad" and helped many a fugitive slave over the line into Canada. He is the author of a number of poems, written in a religious and patriotic vein. Among these is A Memorial Ode, one verse of which is the following : " O, had I a gift like the prophets of old, The dark to uncover, the future unfold, I'd sing, like Isaiah, how the vision appears To an old pioneer, for the next hundred years." In 1883 he published a small volume of poems under the title of " The Blood Stained Cross." He writes in 1889 that he has in mind to publish another volume, but may fail, "being in the even ing of life." REV. SAMUEL H. THOMPSON. 431 Samuel H. Thompson=Abigail HF Dickerman. 230.

After his term of six years, May 19, 1818, he went to West Stockbridge, Mass., and arranged with Caleb Boynton, who was afterward his father-in-law, for a stock of marble to be paid for when cut and sold. On going to Stockbridge he had less than a dollar ; at the end of a year, by hard work and close economy, he had laid up a hundred dollars ; and after ten years he had a small capital with which, in 1828, he removed to Troy, N. Y. Here, in partnership with Calvin Warner, he rented some land, erected buildings and carried on the marble business for eight years. Mr. Warner retiring, he bought the property and enlarged the establishment since known as Dickerman' s Steam Marble Works. In 1859, he retired and the business was continued by his son Mark S. Dickerman. He was ever interested in the prosperity of the city. He was a member of the Common Council for one year and supervisor of the Second Ward two years. He was a director of the Mutual National Bank of Troy, and a trustee of the First Presbyterian church, of which he was a member. A plain unassuming man, he possessed a force of character, integrity of purpose and conscien tious regard for justice that commanded the esteem of all who knew him." By first marriage : I.

Francis' Ives, after graduation from college, studied in the Yale Law School and in 1848 began the practice of law in Bridgeport, where he resided till his death. He was never married, and for this reason, perhaps, was especially fond of his horses and dogs, fishing-rod and gun. After his death the Sea Side Club, of which he was one of the founders, passed a series of resolutions from which the following passage is copied : " He manifested a lively interest in our town and city affairs. He was one of the committee who devised our non-partisan City Charter, was at one time a member of the Common Council and once held the office of City Attorney. He acquired a handsome fortune and by his will left legacies to the Congregational Society of his native town, to the Scroll and Key Society of Yale College, to the Bridgeport Hospital, the Fair field County Law Library Association, the Orphan Asylum, the Young Men's Christian Association and to the Bridgeport Public Library." Resolved, That we take pleasure in bearing testimony to his industry, integrity and ability in the discharge of his duties as a citizen and lawyer ; and we take an especial pride in recording his benefactions to the benevolent institutions of our city."

He was fond of young people and took great interest in the chil dren of his brothers and sisters, many of whom were so near his own age that he was like an older companion. Kind and gen erous in disposition, entering heartily into their youthful spirit, he was often their confidant and was glad to do them any good turn that lay within his power. All these nephews and nieces retained for him a strong affection.

" Hillanddale Farm," Mamaro- neck, N. Y. After studying three years at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass., he spent a few months in the office of his brother, a manu facturer of woolens, in Springfield, Illinois, and then became a clerk in the banking house of J. Bunn. Here he was employed as bookkeeper at first and afterward as teller for somewhat more than two years, until at the close of 1866 he went to New York. In 1868 he was elected a member of the New York Stock Exchange, and in 1870, with the late W. G. Dominick, formed the well known brokerage firm of Dominick &° Dickerman. In 1875 he was elected to the Board of Governors, where he has served several full terms of four years. In 1890 he was elected President of the Exchange, and re-elected to the same office in 1891. In 1892 he was again elected a Governor of the Exchange, and still serves it in that capacity. In 1889 he was appointed receiver of the Norfolk Southern Railroad Company, and upon its reorganization as the Norfolk and Southern, in 1891, was elected President, which office he still occupies. His home is known as " Hillanddale Farm " and occupies a position which overlooks the Sound and a great part of West chester County. His love for pastoral pursuits and for fine stock is doubtless inherited from his ancestors. 1. Watson Bradley8, b. Aug. 19, 1871, at Brooklyn, d. there Oct. 5, 1873. MT. CARMEL, CONNECTICUT. 461 Ezra" Dickerman, like his father, passed his life at the old home stead as a farmer. In his boyhood he had two intimate compan ions, Jason Atwater and Charles Goodyear, who began with him their religious life and were accustomed to hold prayer-meetings in a retired room of his father's house. The three resolved to study for the ministry and, with this in view, he attended the Hopkins Grammar School at Hadley, Mass., for a short time. But the protracted sickness and death of his father intervened and made it necessary for him to remain at home. The two compan ions however, took a college course and each fulfilled a long and useful ministry. Both outlived him, and Mr. Atwater at his funeral told this story of their early hopes. In 1828, he was chosen deacon, and served till 1840, when he resigned. He was afterwards re-elected and held the office till his death. The interests of the church were always dear to him and he kept steadily in mind the higher welfare of the community. Having great energy and executive force, he so managed his farm as to support his family and accumulate a moderate compe tence. His great care was the rearing of his children — to have them grow up with sound principles, correct habits and right ideas of life. He kept near to them, gave them his confidence, looked out for their associates, made home attractive and gath ered them about him every morning for family worship. He trained them to industry, and emphasized fidelity to conscience, loyalty to conviction and the strictest commercial honor. His wife was one with him in these aims and endeavors — less severe but even more absorbed in the welfare of her family ; glad to make any sacrifice for them, and finding her sweetest joy in their happiness. She was especially solicitous to have them early give themselves to Christ. This same tender love marked the closing years of her long and beneficent life. Her delight was to be with her sons and among their children, and her presence brought a blessing to them all. Some year and a half before her death there was an hour when she seemed to be going. At the thought of it she was filled with holy peace and the peace remained ever after. She said of it, " Before that time I sometimes dreaded to die, but I can never fear again." She was like one living on the border-land of heaven. Those who saw her felt this. Even the servants asked to wait on her that they might be in her room. Writing of it afterward, her daughter-in-law said in a letter, " A blessing seemed to be on our home from the day she came within our gates." 462 EZRA" DICKERMAN'S FAMILY. The story of Elizabeth7, Abbie7 and Fannie7 Dickerman is told in a memoir entitled " The Sisters," prepared by their pastor, Rev. I. P. Warren, and published in 1859 by the Boston Tract Society. Elizabeth early became interested in teaching and had charge of a public school before she was sixteen. With the encourage ment of many neighbors she opened a private school near her home, and it promised so well that an academy building was erected. The school was especially for girls and attracted many from other towns. Her sister Abbie was her assistant in this enterprise. After Abbie's death she was principal of the " Hart Seminary " at Plymouth, Conn., till the death of Fannie and her own failing health prevented continuance. The three were eager scholars, earnest Christians and ambitious to do good. The study of lives like Harriet Winslow and Mary Lyon by Abbie, kindled her ardent nature to such a glow that her physical vigor was quickly consumed, and her sisters, moved by Abbie's devotion, soon followed in the same way. Nor were these alone. There was a circle of interesting girls who were intimately associated with them, a number of whom passed away before the promise of their young life had opened into maturity. Not yet had been learned the costly lesson that the higher education of woman involves the assiduous care of her physical development. Henry Street7 Dickerman was at Williston Seminary, East- hampton, Mass, for a year, and his three younger brothers all of them afterward attended the same school. While there he became greatly interested in study, especially in geology, and would gladly have taken a college course if the way had been open for it. He taught school, one winter in Connecticut and another in Illinois. From 1858 to 1882 he was a manufacturer of woolens at Springfield, Ills., and was a founder and deacon of the First Congregational Church of that place. He was afterward general manager of the "Morning Star," "Evening Star" and " Ward" mines at Leadville. At his funeral, his pastor, Rev. Roswell O. Post of Springfield, made appreciative remarks from which the following are quoted : " ' Say nothing of the dead save the good,' is an old Latin adage which observed often limits the tribute. Happy am I that the character before us needs no such covering veil of charity. I stand unrestricted in the presence of this man and fear not to look at any part of his life lest I should find the spot of dishonor. MT. CARMEL, CONNECTICUT. 463 The thread of his life runs through business, church and home ever the same ; one man as citizen, Christian, father. He was all one piece ; there was no sep aration of life principles. Business justified no methods because they 'were business ;' church affairs conducted on the straightforward lines of commercial integrity, and home, simply yet firmly governed, not according to humor but right. He was indeed one consistent whole. He was so fearless. Compromise nor timid time-serving ever crawled in under the guise of 'expediency.' We always knew where to find him. He loved peace and loathed strife, still for the cause of right he stood alike in calm or storm. He was as brave a man as I have ever known. He was so Christian. Nearly nine years ago, upon arriving in our city I was met with congratulations by an elder of the First Presbyterian church, for, said he, 'Any church is a good church that has such a man as H. S. Dickerman.' Each passing year has added verity to this statement. He sought opportunities to let his light shine, here at home in church, prayer meeting and Sunday school and even more, if anything, when away. So we are not surprised to learn that at Leadville he was Bible class teacher, frequently prayer-meeting leader and ever the main religious and financial support of the church. Born of grand old Puritan stock, rocked in a consecrated cradle, his virtue lies in that he lived and died true to his heritage." Ezra Day7 Dickerman taught school one winter in Hamden, and for a considerable time engaged in two Sunday school enterprises for people living at a distance from church. One of these Sunday schools was in " West woods " and was called the " Oak Spring School ; " the other was at Quinnipiack, near the line between Hamden and Wallingford. With the deepening of the conflict over slavery he was greatly stirred and was alarmed at the prospect of war. He once said that " if war came he would not be in it ; he would go to Canada sooner ; " at which his father sternly spoke : " A man never gains anything by shirking his duty to his country." Soon after this his father died ; a year passed and the war began. With the first call for troops he said, " I must go." His mother was not con vinced that this would then be wise. No more was said. A few months passed ; the battle of Bull Run occurred and the presi dent's call for 300,000 volunteers. His mother now said, " Ezra, you must go," and he enlisted. He was one year in Co. A, ioth Reg. C. V. a corporal. At Roanoke Island he was shot through the chin but returned to the ranks as soon as his wound was dressed. The following summer a squad of recruits was raised among his old friends at Mt. Car mel and they chose him for their officer. He was commissioned 2d Lieutenant and came home to prepare them for the field. 464 ALLING IVES' FAMILY. Before reaching home he was chosen captain, and on the organ ization of the 20th Reg. C. V. he was duly commissioned to that office in Co. I, and served to the end of the war, being their only captain, though he was promoted to be Major during the last year. In this company were a number of men whose names appear elsewhere in this work, Cecil A. Burleigh, Brainerd T.9 Ives, Willis A." Bradley, Burton S.8 Bradley, Joel CF Dickerman and Mark EF Dickerman. Of these Joel Dickerman was the only one who did not live to see the end of the war. He was one of Ezra's nearest compan ions in their boyhood days. After a year of noble service he was fatally wounded in that culminating struggle at Gettysburg and died the following day. Ezra was wounded severely at Chancellorsville and was home on leave of absence, but seeing that a great battle was imminent, hastened to the field and joined his regiment just as they were going into action. At the battle of Peach Tree Creek, before Atlanta, he received a wound that ultimately caused his death. It seemed at the time that he could not live to be moved, and prob ably he would have been left on the field if it had not been for the persistence of Mark Dickerman, who obtained a permit to stay with him, and gave him the tenderest care till he was conveyed to the hospital at Nashville, the bullet taken from the wound and he was on the way to recovery. The " march to the sea " was thus interrupted for him. As soon as he was strong enough he was assigned to duty at the conscript camp in New Haven. During this time he was married. In the spring he joined his regiment in Richmond and shared with them the honors of the " grand review" at Washington. After the war he made his home at West Haven. On the day of his burial his pastor said of him, "A true man, a true patriot and a true Chris tian." Alling Ives= Rebecca6 Dickerman. 215.

STEPHEN4 DICKERMAN OF NEW HAVEN, MARY WHITE AND REBECCA HUBBARD. " Honor to the house where they are simple to the verge of hardship, so that there the intellect is awake and reads the laws of the universe, the soul worships truth and love, honor and courtesy flow into all deeds." — Ralph Waldo Emerson. The property adjacent to the New Haven Green which Abra ham2 Dickerman bought of Thomas Kimberly in 1668 was con veyed to his son Isaac3 and remained in his possession until Sep. 24, 1733, when he sold it for ^190 to Joseph Mix. The property adjoining it on the north belonged to his brother, Lieutenant Abraham, till after this time, and we may suppose that the two brothers lived in these homes side by side till their children were past their early childhood. After the sale of the old home on the corner, Isaac Dickerman lived in a house on Broadway where the " Boardman School " now stands. This was the place which he afterward gave to his youngest son, Stephen, with large tracts of land in the north and northwestern parts of the town. To this house Stephen brought his bride, Eunice Tuttle. It was not far for her to come, for her old home was only a little way down York street, on the west side, near Chapel street. He was thirty-one years old at the time and was the last of the family to marry. Ruth had married eighteen years before and removed to Wallingford. Samuel and Jonathan had been married over ten years and were on their new farms at Mt. Carmel, and his three younger sisters all had their husbands and children, while he remained to be his father's companion and to relieve him of care in his old age. It was natural, therefore, that the New Haven property should pass into his hands on his father's death. We may suppose, also, that his position in the home made him especially dear to Mary, Rebecca and Abigail, on whom he bestowed the interest and affec tion of an older brother. 468 STEPHEN* DICKERMAN. A beautiful proof of this attachment is given in the circum stances of his death. Rebecca's son, John Hubbard, Jr., lived in a house where the " Springside Farm " now is. The small-pox, a dis ease far more alarming then than now, visited New Haven and both Mr. and Mrs. Dickerman were attacked. Thereupon their nephew came for them and had them removed to the quiet retire ment of his own home, where he could give them such care as was possible. It was a brave and loving deed, and though it did not stay the malady, their last hours were comforted with the thought of being with their friends. These three younger sisters all married into New Haven fam ilies. It was the same also with the children of Stephen as they grew up. Moreover they made their homes not far from the old place, and thus they became a continuous element in the com munity. In 1853, and again in 1854, a family gathering was held in New Haven — chiefly of the descendants of Stephen Dickerman, though other branches were also represented. The first occurred on Tuesday, Aug. 23, 1853. An account was published in the Journal and Courier of the following Thursday, part of which is here given : " The descendants of Stephen Dickerman met in a social picnic, on a beauti ful eminence, overlooking the city and harbor, under an ample tent, on one of the most lovely days. The ground where the meeting was held is now owned by Mr. Isaac Dickerman* and has been in the Dickerman family from one to two hundred years, and the broad and beautiful meadows on the plain below, and the forest stretching back a long distance to the west, comprising some hun dreds of acres, constituted the farm owned by the progenitor of those who were there assembled. Stephen Dickerman and his wife died in 1779, leaving seven orphan children, the youngest but three years old. All those children grew up, married and became respectable citizens of New Haven and the heads of large families. Two of the number, Mr. Elisha Dickerman and Mrs. Abigail Pardee, still survive and were present at the meeting. About one hundred and sixty members of the family, representing all the branches, assembled with but little preparation and at short notice, but from the well filled baskets the tables were loaded with substantial food and refresh ments. Several friends and connections of the family were invited, and the entire company numbered more than two hundred. The party were welcomed to the ground by Deacon Isaac Dickerman, in a brief address, and the divine blessing was invoked by Deacon Eli Dickerman. * Now, in 1896, this property is owned by Donald G. Mitchell and is famed as " My Farm of Edgeviood." NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT. 469 After the company had dined, the genealogy of the family was read, and short addresses were made by Messrs. Isaac Dickerman, Eli Dickerman, S. D. Pardee, Dr. E. H. Bishop, Elihu Atwater, C. A. Dickerman and Timothy H. Plant, all descendant of Stephen Dickerman, and several anecdotes, illustrative of his piety and benevolence, were related. After several hymns had been sung and a committee appointed to prepare for a more numerous gathering of the family next year, the meeting dispersed, having spent a few hours very pleasantly, and it is believed profitably to all who attended."

When the British troops made their raid on New Haven, July 5, 1779, Mr. Huggins was taken prisoner, as " bearing arms against the King of England," because he was found with a musket in his hands. He was put on board the old prison ship in New York, but was treated with kindness by the commander and in a little while made his escape, probably with the commander's consent. At the time her husband was taken, Mrs. Huggins was alone in her house with her two babes, when a cannon-ball passed through the room where she was sitting. She heard the tramp of soldiers in the street, and a British officer entered the door. He was a gentleman, treated her with great politeness, told her she had noth ing to fear, and, as he went away, wrote on the door of the house, " Let no one enter here. By order of Gen. Garth." Later in the day, her brother Isaac came and took her out to the house of Col. Hubbard, where she remained till her husband returned. " In the early part of the day Mr. Isaac Dickerman came into town from ' Edgewood Farm ' with an ox-cart to convey persons and things from his father's house on Broadway to Col. Hubbard's place, which was quite secluded. He went first to the house of Mrs. Huggins, which was on lower Crown street, to bring away some things for that family. As he passed along the street with his cart, so many valuable articles were thrown into it by persons 472 TIMOTHY BISHOP'S FAMILY. endeavoring to save their property, that by the time he reached his father's house little room was left for the use of those he had come especially to help. Some of them climbed on the heaped up load : others walked by the side of it, driving the cows before them." — Atwater' s History of New Haven City, page 36. Timothy Bishop= Esther" Huggins. 251.

He has fruited nearly three hundred varieties of pears, besides other fruits, and has received a number of medals for exhibits on various occasions : among these was the Wilder medal of 1873. It has been his delight to give to others grafts from his choice trees and thus to encourage an important industry.

His ordination at Meriden was attended with a controversy which may be viewed as a sequel to the struggle in New Haven of which an account is given in the twelfth chapter of this book. After the final triumph of the " separatists " in that place the strife was carried into other fields. In 1758, a contest arose in Wallingford, over the settlement of Mr. Dana. .The "old light" party were on his side, but the asso ciation and consociation, which had formerly been used against the " separatists," declared against his ordination. In spite of this a council was convened which ordained him. The ministers in this body were Messrs. Joseph Noyes, Isaac Stiles, Theophilus Hall, Samuel Whittelsey, and because of this proceeding they were excluded from both ecclesiastical bodies. It was about eight years after this that the question of Mr. Hub bard's settlement came up. His affiliations were with the "old light" party. His father had been a champion of Mr. Noyes; business associated him intimately with Mr. Chauncey Whittlesey ; and the son of Mr. Isaac Stiles was his brother-in-law — that bril liant scholar of whom the whole family might well be proud. But the question that came to the front was that of unsoundness in doctrine. He was a bold thinker and outspoken in his opinions. Living in an intellectual atmosphere like that which he had breathed from his boyhood, it is no wonder that his mind did not always keep to the worn grooves. His father had studied for his profession under Dr. Jared Eliot of Killingworth, and coming to 49^ JOHN6 HUBBARD'S FAMILY. New Haven, had cultivated the closest relations with scholars and men of letters. Meeting such men continually and enjoying the companionship of intimates like Chauncey Whittelsey and Ezra Stiles, the son, like them, was a seeker after truth and fearless of any light upon the problems of life. So he gained a reputation for being unorthodox. This and his identification with the " old lights " made his case critical. Con sociation and association went against him, somewhat as against Mr. Dana, and the strife was carried on for two years. At length, however, a council composed of his friends and of churches from out of the colony brought the case to a close by his ordination. The circumstances were so peculiar and so many things were involved which we can hardly understand at the present day, that it is not easy to judge of the merits of this controversy. But one thing is plain— the growing spirit of independence. It was now within a few years of the American revolution — and already a revolution had come with regard to ecclesiastical domination over the local church. Mr. Hubbard's pastorate was happy, notwithstanding this stormy beginning. His personal qualities were so excellent and his abilities so manifest that he won over those opposed to him and became generally esteemed. The Connecticut Jourtial says of him, Nov. 2, 1786 : " Never was a pastor more sincerely beloved by his flock, which in his visita- tations as well as in the ministrations of the sanctuary beheld his face, as it had been the face of an angel, for he was conversant among them with gravity, prudence, wisdom and benevolence.'- JOHN6 HUBBARD = \ ^NNA At™*- ( Martha Bradley. 253- John5 Hubbard, son of John and Rebecca4 (Dickerman) Hubbard, b.

" A philosophy of history is possible because progress toward an ideal can be traced The educator, the statesman, the philanthropist, the artist, sees the day which is dawning and lives in the power of a world to come." — George Harris. The tract of country lying between what is now East Haven and Guilford was originally known as Totoket. In 1644 it was sold to William Swain and others of Wethersfield, who estab lished a settlement there under the jurisdiction of New Haven. They were joined by a company from Southampton, L. I., under Rev. Abraham Pierson, who became the minister of the com munity. The town was named Branford. Upon the consolidation of New Haven Colony with Connect icut in 1664, Mr. Pierson and nearly the whole of his church were so aggrieved that they removed to Newark, N. J., and left the place almost uninhabited, so that there was no church there for over twenty years. But people moved in and gradually the town became populous enough to have a church, which was organized anew in 1688. Robert2 Foote came from Wethersfield and lived first at Wal lingford, where it is recorded — "20th Oct. 1674, voted that Good" Foote shall have liberty to buy the lott, y' is Joseph Eives provided he procure sufficient testimony of his good conversation in ye plase where he now pretendeth to remove." and again in the following January : "The testimony for Good" foote being severente and axepted, he was admitted a planter upon the lott that was Joseph eives." In 1678, and thereafter till his death, in 1681, he was of Branford. His son, Isaac Foote, was of North Branford, and of that part now known as Northford. Here was the home to which he brought his wife, Rebecca Dickerman, and here their children were born and reared. 504 ISAAC FOOTE S FAMILY. Isaac Foote = Rebecca3 Dickerman. 109.

I could do it as heartily as the Irish Catholic looks up to St. Patrick, or the Parisian nun to St. Genevieve. ... I stand rebuked for even the imagination of an intercessory saint in glory.

The period between 1740 and 1760 was marked by the rise of a military spirit in New England. This is alluded to on page 301. The colonists were confronted with a scheme of conquest which threatened to bring them under the rule of France, and thus to root up their most cherished rights and liberties. Isaac Foote was one of those whose patriotism led him into the army. The records do not tell us what part he bore in those early campaigns which culminated in the capture of Louisburg. But in the succeeding war of 1755 we find him holding the rank of Major, which indicates that he must have borne some honorable part in the previous struggle. 506 MAJOR ISAAC4 FOOTE. The regiment in which he served was under Gen. Shirley, and was engaged in movements in the region north of Albany and between Lake Champlain and Lake Ontario. Only a few weeks after their arrival there he fell ill, and the disease became so serious that he asked leave of absence ; but he was not able to reach home and died at Greenbush, opposite Albany, on his way. An incident shows us the man he was. " While his detachment was at Albany Gen. Shirley had a dining party of which Major Foote was one, on the Sabbath. Having attended public worship in the morning he went to the dinner. Then at the call for after noon service Major Foote rose at table and asked permission to leave the company. Gen. Shirley said, ' No, Major, do not leave this company and these choice wines.' He modestly renewed the request and was refused, as before. Major Foote stood but was silent. The General spoke again : ' No compulsion, Major, take your choice ; leave if you wish.' Whereupon he took a respectful leave for the house of prayer." A number of his letters are published in the Foote Genealogy, all of which breathe a deeply religious spirit. Some passages from these are here given : "Fort Nicholson, Aug. 13, 1733. I am now arrived at the great carrying-place where Gen. Lyman built a fort. I do not expect to write you any letters before we attack the fort and have an engagement The great part of your care must be in bringing up the dear children ; use your utmost endeavor to iustruct them in the principles of religion ; pray much with them and for them. I hope your heart is fixed, trusting in God, so that evil tidings shall not make you afraid." " Aug. 20th. We have orders to move forward our regiments. I am not well, but resigned to the will of God I now have the distemper that pre vails among us, though not mortal, except in two instances. But I am in safe hands. Do not be concerned about me. You may mention the case to a prayer-hearing God and desire the prayers of my Christian friends." " Sep. ist. I left the camp about a week ago on account of my ill-health ; am now pretty well recovered and design to go to the army to-morrow. Gen. John son, with 1500 men, is at the Lake St. Savian, building a fort, and some things look discouraging I hope you and the few dear praying ones will continue to besiege the throne of grace. You may do more than Gen. Johnson can with his army. Oh, the prayer of saints — I had almost said omnipotent ! Mr. Bellamy, in a letter, tells me all the children of God lie prostrate before the Lord for success in this enterprise. Oh, amazing grace ! how safe is the believer : perils and dangers he may pass through, afflictions may compass him like bees, death may stare him in the face and threaten an onset ; serene and calm he awaits the blow." BRANFORD, CONNECTICUT. 507 "Flats, 4 miles above Albany, Sep. 13, 1733. I am here at Colonel Schuyler's waiting for a guard, for it is not deemed safe to go alone. I am in a very feeble state of health ; .... if I were at home I should quite give out. I am tenderly looked after, go where I will, and treated very kindly. I know not when I shall go home, if ever. I would have you cast all your care upon God. He will support you. Is he not better to you than any earthly friend ? I am sure he is to me ; when dejected he raises me up ; when fainting he gives me refreshing cordials ; when thirsty he gives me the waters of life. " " Thursday morning. Slept comfortably ; hope you had a good night and freedom this morning to pour out your soul to God. I am very poor and pained to-day, but it is all well, because as to health it is as God would have it. It is now 9 o'clock. I will lay down and rest my poor body, if God pleases, and to-morrow I may perhaps write more ; and so goodnight to you and the children and friends." So, as his life ebbed away, this soldier of the old colonial times was comforted, as so many have been in every period, by thoughts of the divine care. His body was laid in the ancient burying- ground opposite the lower part of the city of Albany, not far from the fence and near the gate. The stone at his grave bears this inscription : " Here lyeth the body of Major Isaac Foote of Branford, who departed this life the 7th October 1755 aged 38 years, 2 months and 7 days."

Philemon Robbins is a sharply-defined figure of the last half- century of the colonial period — especially interesting because he stood for rights which are now generally recognized, but were then asserted at no little cost. The place of his birth and early life was Cambridge, Mass., where the family had lived since 1639. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1729, after which he "kept a classical school at Andover," as his diary says, " and studied the Bible and various works on divinity."* In 1731, he made a visit to New Haven with a * This diary is in the possession of his granddaughter, Mrs. Maria Schanck of Princeton, N.

While there he was invited to preach at Branford, which led to a call, and in due time to his ordination. Some seven years later he went through a spiritual reconstruc tion so complete as to mark an epoch in his life. It was about two years after the revival of 1735, and two years before the more extensive movement of 1740, {pages 28p-2po.) Seriousness was abroad in many minds. People were searching the foundations of their belief and trying to distinguish what was true from the false. In his case the search was so honest and thorough that he became like a new man. He was even accustomed to speak of it as the beginning of his religious life. The general movement was from a system of things which was formal, dogmatic and perfunctory, to a faith that was living, ethi cal and spiritual. And when a strong, earnest soul, with many a struggle, had found his way to such a faith it could not be without practical effect. It made the old artificial way of doing things an impossibility. It filled action with a great purpose. Mr. Robbins wanted new life for his people, as well as himself. Hence he reached out for those stirring, penetrating preachers that were going about New England — Bellamy, Wheelock and others — and welcomed them to his pulpit. When Whitefield came this way and most of the churches gave him the cold shoulder, here was one who had for him a cordial greeting. He saw the new light breaking, and it made him glad. Juiy30.

But he was no fanatic, nor friend of fanaticism. When James Davenport came to Branford and went singing on the road to public worship, he was greatly disturbed by the breach of decorum and reproved him for it. Mr. Robbins was brought into trouble by preaching to a little Baptist congregation in Wallingford. Dr. Bellamy had preached there, and they asked Mr. Robbins to do the same. He said that he would and set the day. Then came a letter signed by forty men asking him to refrain from it, and Rev. Isaac Stiles and Rev. Jacob Hemingway also put in their objections. But having made the engagement he could see no reason for breaking it. So he went on and held the service. For this he was called to account before the consociation and the association. In ordinary times nothing serious would have followed. But it was just when the alarm was rising and spread ing, over the independent spirit that was abroad. The two old leading churches at New Haven and Milford were both split in two already, and contention was rife in all the churches. Conser vative people, who could see nothing but evil in a disturbance of old usages, concluded that the innovations must be put down by force. Legislation had been obtained against ministers preaching in other parishes than their own. The determination was formed to use the consociation as well as the law to bring into subjection those who should presume to do things out of the ordinary course. Just at this time, he drove over the boundary line and preached in Wallingford, and that singled him out as one to make an example of. The trial lasted over five years. He made humble apologies, confessed that he had over-stepped the rules of order and asked to be forgiven. His final statement concluded with these words. "And now gentlemen, I humbly beg forgiveness: let my ignorance of its being a crime apologize for me, that I may be restored. And I would humbly offer one motive to engage your compassion, viz. a prospect of peace among my people, who have been uneasy, for I think that in other respects they are friendly and kind ; but this case has been an uneasiness with them, and a prin cipal uneasiness, if I may judge by their complaints, or what I hear from their own mouths. And therefore, gentlemen, as you are professed lovers of peace, you will undoubtedly promote it, by restoring your unworthy servant." This would seem to have been ample acknowledgment ; but it was not thought best to accept it. The church at Branford was not a consociated church and had voted that they were not. But BRANFORD, CONNECTICUT. 513 there was a disposition to employ this body to manage churches, even if they were not under its jurisdiction. So now they stretched their prerogatives and assumed to " depose Mr. Robbins from his pastorate at Branford and to debar and suspend him from com munion in any of the churches." Upon the Sunday following this action, Mr. Robbins preached from 1 Cor. 9:16: " For necessity is laid upon me ; yea woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel.'' Some of the people went to meet ing with hesitation ; but he made such an extraordinary prayer as arrested the attention of all and made a deep impression on their minds. They tarried to hear what he would preach. Here again he gained their attention and entered into their feelings. His dis course was not less extraordinary than his prayer. He continued preaching and performed all ministerial duties as he had done before, and the people attended his ministrations. The society advanced his salary and encouraged him by public acts of gen erosity. He was, indeed, shut out from ministerial fellowship, to some extent, and suffered inconvenience in many ways. But the injus tice was too manifest, and eventually recoiled on those engaged in it.* Mr. Robbins held the personal respect of those who knew him, and, as time went on, was accorded his rightful place in ecclesias tical meetings. He was invited to sit with the consociation at the ordination of Mr. Street in East Haven : also in the council at Wallingford where Mr. Dana was refused ordination. He was one of the council which installed Mr. Bird as pastor of the church at New Haven, and seems to have had the sympathy of progressive men when his way was darkest. Rev. Dr. Benjamin Trumbull in his History of Connecticut devotes some thirty-five pages to a discussion of this case, at the end of which he says : "Mr. Robbins was a most inoffensive gentleman; mild, peaceable and a peacemaker ; was uncommonly gifted in prayer ; a sound and searching preacher and greatly beloved by his people. He was popular in the neighboring towns and societies and gradually grew into esteem among his brethren in the ministry." To this we add the following from the pen of his grandson, Dr. Thomas Robbins : * See pages 40s, 4qb. 33 514 REV. CHANDLER6 ROBBINS. " In person, Mr. Robbins was about the middle height. He was distinguished for activity and readiness of mind, and for a quick and retentive memory. He had a strong and pleasant voice ; his manner was free and engaging and breathed much of the natural benevolence of his spirit. He preached from short notes, and had a ready command of language in extemporaneous speaking."* Chandler6 Robbins=Jane Prince. 257. Chandler6 Robbins, son of Philemon and Hannah4 (Foote) Robbins, b.

He became proficient in the French language, an acquirement somewhat rare at that time. For a time after graduation he was in the family of Rev. Dr. Sproat of Guilford : then taught in Dr. Wheelock's Indian school at Lebanon, and after that studied theology under Dr. Bellamy. Having received a license to preach, he was recom mended by Dr. Sproat to the people of Plymouth, who heard him in their pulpit and eventually called him to become their pastor. The call was accepted and his ordination took place Jan. 30, 1760, his father preaching the sermon. ?Trumbull's History of Connecticut, II, 196-233. Davis' History of Wallingford, 269-275.

His pastoral charge extended over a wide territory, and in 1795, embraced not less than twenty-five hundred souls. He was abundant in his labors, and was successful, not only in preserving the harmony of his congregation, which had been somewhat divided before, but in ministering to their edification and spiritual growth. He received the degree of D.D. from Dart mouth Coll., in 1792, and from the University of Edinburgh in 1793. A list of his published works is given in Sprague's Annals. His nephew, Dr. Thomas Robbins, says concerning him : " I knew him well from my earliest years, and not only loved him as a relative, but esteemed him highly as a man and a minister. He was of medium stature, erect and symmetrical in form and with a countenance expressive of great kind ness. There was no sternness either in his face or in his nature. He was a fine model of a Christian gentlemen. With great urbanity and respect for the feelings of others, he united a remarkable simplicity that made him acceptable to all classes. He had a fine talent at conversation — talked with ease, fluency and to the point, and loved to make all around him happy. His sermons were not generally written out at length, but in outline. He spoke extempore with ease and grace : his voice was melodious : his gesture appropriate, and there was an air of sincerity and deep feeling well fitted to hold attention. He was decidedly a Calvinist, yet hardly of the strictest school. His preaching was practical rather than doctrinal and he was an earnest friend of revivals of religion. He had great reverenceforthe Pilgrim Fathers, which was, no doubt, increased by the hallowed associations of the spot on which he resided." — Sprague' s Annals , I, 573-373.

After graduation at Bowdoin, he studied law with Judge Wilde and was admitted to practice at Boston. On account of a deli- 516 chandler" robbins' family. cate constitution he went to the South in Jan., 1820. After spending some time at Fayetteville, N. C, he went in the autumn of 1821 to South Carolina and settled at Society Hill in Darling ton District. He was obliged to earn his support and found it hard at first to make the ends meet. Not being able to own a horse, he was accustomed to walk to Darlington, Chesterfield and Marlboro to attend court. A friend offered him money on his own time but he declined the favor, preferring not to run in debt. After his removal to Cheraw, about 1823, his practice became remunerative. His business was chiefly that of a counsellor in the collection of accounts and the settlement of estates ; and he had a high reputation for legal knowledge and accuracy. His sympathies were broad and his charity generous. He took especial interest in an orphan boy, James H. Thornwell, who afterward attained eminence, and who undoubtedly owed much to Mr. Robbins' helpful, inspiring influence. This is referred to with deep appreciation in The Life and Letters of Thornwell by Rev. B. M. Palmer, D.D., of New Orleans. I. Henrietta Kelsall8, b. April 30, 1833, d. Aug. 3, 1835. 2.

David Marshall, of New York. He was educated at Phillips Academy, Andover, and Harvard College ; received the degree of M.D. from the University of Penn. in 1824, and soon after went to New York, where he passed his professional life. From 1841 till his death he was a professor in the College of Physicians and Surgeons. As a. lecturer and teacher he was exceedingly successful. The moral tone of his lectures was very high. He continually uttered such maxims as, that a man was not to be called successful because he made money, that a lie in the profession was as bad as a lie out of it, that his hearers would save themselves much anxiety if they would simply do their duty, and leave results with God, to whom they belong. A single passage from one of his addresses illustrates his style of speech. This address was given Oct. 20, 1856, at the opening of the new college hall, in which was a tablet to the memory of stu dents who had died of pestilential disease. 524 DR. CHANDLER R.' GILMAN. " On this tablet are engraven the brief histories of some who have gone before you, and who, after short service, have been enrolled among those whose names science and humanity will never allow to die. This tablet tells you, and those who come after you, that when pestilence was rife in our hospitals — when in those wards devoted to public health, death held high festival, selecting his daily victims at his will — when to minister to the afflicted and dying was almost cer tainly to share their fate, these graduates of the College of Physicians and Sur geons were ready to labor night and day in the cause of suffering humanity ; and as often as one of the number — called to his rest — left a place vacant, a score of candidates sprang forward ready and anxious to fill that place of dan ger and death ; and this continued until fourteen young physicians had, by an early death, earned a place among the martyrs of humanity. Such is the proud ornament of our hall, and such the story it tells of those who have here been trained to something higher than medical science — something nobler than pro fessional skill. To the priceless heritage of this good example we make you welcome. It is yours ; follow it ; and may your professional career be, for your own sakes, as bright and honorable as theirs ! and, for the sake of your country and friends, may it be longer and happier ! " Early in life he, with his relative Charles Fenno Hoffman, had charge of the "American Monthly." Besides numerous contribu tions to medical magazines, he was the author of a number of books.

Dec. 4, 1834, at Carrollton, Ills., Abia Swift Lippincott, dau. of Rev. Thomas and Patience (Swift) Lippincott, b. July 3, 1817. In 1829 he settled at Alton, Ills, and remained there till 1843, when he went to St. Louis, and thence in 1849 to New York. While he was at Alton the abolition riots occurred which resulted in the death of Lovejoy. Though Mr. Gilman was not one of the Abolition Society, he did not shrink from giving efficient aid to their cause. At a citizen's meeting Nov. 2, 1837, he presented resolutions declaring the right of every citizen to speak, write and print his opinions on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that right to the law as administered in the regular tri bunals, and that protection was due to Mr. Lovejoy, the editor of the Alton Observer. The resolutions were referred to a committee who reported at a meeting the next day, that it is expedient to abstain from a discussion of principles in themselves deemed right, and that Mr. Lovejoy should not be allowed to conduct a paper. Against this report Mr. Gilman alone protested. The press which had been previously ordered arrived on the night of Nov. 6. Mr. Gilman received it to his warehouse and had it snugly packed in the third story, while citizens volunteered to guard it. On the next night the warehouse was attacked and fired by a mob, the press destroyed and Lovejoy murdered. A full account is given in Tanner's Martyrdom of Lovejoy. I. Arthur8, b.

Mr. Robbins was fitted for college by his father and went first to Nassau Hall (now Princeton), on account of the intimacy between President Burr and his father. President Burr died during the following year, and he was transferred to Yale that he might be nearer home. The Sophomores were quite indignant that he should, in this way, have escaped the trials of freshman year, and to propitiate them he prepared, at his father's advice, a general entertainment which gained for him their friendship. After graduation he taught school for a time at Plymouth, Mass. ; studied theology with Dr. Joseph Bellamy, and was ordained at Norfolk, Oct. 28, 1761, within thirteen months after his graduation and at the age of twenty-one. Here he continued for fifty-one years, till his death. The church was new, but under his ministry grew into one of the largest and most prosperous in the state. With his ministerial labors he connected those of a teacher and almost always had a number of students with him fitting for college. When the Revolution came he was awake to the exigency and met it like a patriot, going as a chaplain in the army. He writes thus in his diary : March 18, 1776. Took an affectionate leave of home, met the Colonel at Canaan ; dined at brother Keep's in Sheffield ; had a most agreeable interview, prayed together and parted in the most friendly and tender manner. Albany, 21st. Crossed the river ; visited the graves of those who died in the French war ; dropped a tear on my dear Uncle Foote's grave. Lord's day, 24th, at Albany. Prayed in the family, then on parade with the regiment ; at ten and a half preached in the Presbyterian Church from Hosea, " I will go and return to my place till they acknowledge their offense and seek my face." P.M. Micah 5.5, "And this man shall be the peace." Lord's day, 31st. In same church. A.M. on "Christian Armor." P. M. Exodus 33.15, " If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence." Great Assembly, Gen'l Schuyler's family and aid de camp and many officers present. 540 REV. ammi r." robbins family. He speaks of using "great plainness " ; is greatly shocked and pained to see the wickedness of the people of the city on the Sabbath and says "it is a high play day." While he was with the army it was visited with the small-pox. His health became impaired and he performed his duties under great difficulties. Monday, fuly 27. Was brought in a carriage to Stillwater. Dr. Merwin attended me ; says there is no prospect of my being able to return to the camp for three or four weeks ; advises me to try and get home. I am peculiarly unfit ted to do the duties of a chaplain on account of my bilious constitution. I envy brother Avery his health. He will go through the hospital, when pesti ferous as disease and death can make it, with a face as smooth as a baby's and afterwards an appetite as healthy as a wood chopper's. I cannot ; after inhaling such diseased breath I am sick and faint ; besides their sorrows take hold of me. I would not shrink from the work ; our war is a righteous war ; our men are called to defend their country ; whole congregations turn out, and the ministers of the gospel should go and encourage them when doing their duty, attend and pray for and with them when sick, and bury them when they die. I hope to return to my work. Aug. ist. Home, and have, I trust, a grateful sense of the divine goodness. Monday, Aug. iq. Took leave of friends to join the regiment. Friday, Aug. 23. Rode with Dr. Potts to Lake George. He told me it was at the risk of my life to go into the hospitals. But if the physician goes, why not a minister of the great physician ? His wife was once talking anxiously and asking what would become of the children if he should be taken away, and he answered, " If God feeds the sparrows he will surely provide for the little Robbins." He had naturally a good constitution and vigorous health, a fine voice and a gift for extempore preaching. He believed in revi vals, and some of great power attended his ministry. He preached about 6500 sermons, and is said to have conducted worship in every town in the state but three. In 1794-6, by appointment of the general association, he made five tours of missionary service in the new settlements of Vermont and New York, two of these in company with his brother-in-law, Rev. Peter Starr. In these tours three churches were gathered, three ordinations performed, thirty-eight persons baptized, one hundred and forty-five sermons preached, and a great many pioneer homes visited. In his last illness, Which was protracted and attended with much suffering from a cancer, he called the children of his parish about him — of whom he had married the grandparents of not a few — that he might give them his farewell counsel and blessing.

He was a Colonel of State Militia, several times Member of the Legislature, in 1866 State Comptroller, and in February, 1861, one of the delegates to the Peace Commission at Washington. He was a man of unquestioned integrity, quiet temper, gentle and winsome manners, but firm convictions, with a generosity measured only in part by his gifts for charity and education. To Yale College alone it is estimated that the gifts of Mr. Battell and other members of his family amount to not less than $500,000 ; and they, in effect, by early donations and later NORFOLK, CONNECTICUT. 55 1 additions, founded the department of music at that institution. Mr. Battell was a keen lover of music, painting and architecture. He for several years provided his native village with a series of out-door summer concerts ; he gathered a large collection of paintings, representing the best works of American artists ; he gave Yale a chime of bells, and made similar gifts to several other colleges, and was a liberal subscriber and co-worker in move ments for the artistic development of the people. Of sacred music he was especially fond, and several of his compositions for hymns have been widely rendered and praised. — N. Y. Evening Post, Jan. 28, i8g3. 1. Ellen Mills8, b.

An account has been given, in the first chapter, of the little which is known concerning the youngest son of Thomas Dicker- man of Dorchester. What course he pursued after his brother moved to New Haven and his mother went to live at Medfield, we are left to imagine. We do not know the occupation he followed, nor the part he bore in important events which were so vital to the interests of the colony that every one must have taken some part. We are not told whom he married nor what family he had, with the single exception of one son, who may have been and may not have been his only child. We may well raise the questions, Did his brother at New Haven ever revisit his old friends in the neighborhood of Boston ? Did they sometimes go to New Haven and keep up acquaintance between the families ? And, as vessels sailed back and forth, were messages and letters carried hither and thither to perpetuate old ties ? No answer is offered to any such inquiries. In 1720, however, the name was entered on the Boston records, and from that time some materials are given for a history. At this period there were two with the name of Isaac. The first mention is in the " Selectmen's report, July 27, 1720, and again, Jan. 27, 1721, ' A list of strangers,' one of whom is ' Isaac Dickman.' " Next, Christ Church records say, " Isaac Dickman was buried April 22, 1726." A few months later, Sep. 10, 1726, Isaac Dickerman (spelled also Dickman), " Blockmaker," with wife Hannah, mortgages land in the westerly part of the town of Boston to John Staniford, a " Taylor," and redeems it June 24, 1734. Then comes another entry in Christ Church records, Sep. 14, 1748. " The wife of Isaac Dickman was buried ; " and a few years later, March 10, 1733, " Isaac Dickman was buried." 36 562 ISAAC8 DICKMAN'S FAMILY. These few guiding points help us to form a theory. Supposing that Isaac, the youngest son of Thomas Dickerman, inherited the property of his father in Boston ; he lives there and has a son whom he names Isaac. This son, for some reason, is not a resi dent of Boston in 1720. He may have been a sailor or perhaps have lived in some other town of the colony, and so is called a " stranger." The father dies at the age of 83, for this would have been his age according to the date of birth in Dorchester. Thereupon the son comes into possession of the estate and, finding it necessary to raise money, mortgages some of the land. He becomes pros perous in business and in a few years is able to cancel the mort gage. In 1748 his wife dies, and in 1755, ne follows her. We cannot establish the whole of this with certainty, but only claim for it a fair degree of probability. From this point on, the family can be more easily traced. Isaac Dickman's will,* dated Feb. 1755, is in the Boston probate records and speaks of his children ; while their names are also in the church records. Isaac3 Dickman= Hannah 276.

It was called the Impartial Intelligencer, which was soon after changed to Greenfield Gazette. He had at first 800 subscribers, but the number soon increased to 1600. Newspapers were procured for him at first by a company who sent to Springfield every week. A post-office was established a little later and he was appointed postmaster, which office he held till 1804. Benjamin Smead learned the art of printing of Mr. Dickman, and established in Brattleboro, about the year 1799, a paper called the Federal Galaxy. On Thomas Dickman's tombstone is the inscription : ' He was the first printer, the first bookseller and the first post master of Greenfield, Mass.'

David8 Dickerman of Oxford, March 23, 1803, deeded thirteen acres of land in Middlebury, one mile east of the meeting-house, to Stephen S. Hawley of Oxford, for ^140 lawful money. — Waterbury records. The evidence that he was the son of Joseph is in a deed, May 16, 1 8 15. — New Haven records. "David Dickerman of Oxford, and Chauncey and Obedience Dorman of Canaan, quit claim to Isaac Tuttle, to a piece of land on Broadway near the blacksmith shop." Another deed of Diodate Pratt Jones and Sarah Jones, Dec. 20, 1814, quits claim "to the right of said Sarah, to one undivided seventh part " of 13 rods of land on Broadway, to Isaac Tuttle. And still another of Joseph and Martha Love of Hartford, deed to Isaac Tuttle " a small piece of land near the dwelling house of our honored father Hezekiah Tuttle, being the south part of a small lot formerly owned by Joseph Dickerman deceased.'' David Dickerman's will, proved Dec. 3, 1829, calls him " late of Stamford," and mentions widow Mabel, wife of Havens C. Thompson, and child Burr. Mr. Milo Dickerman of Chicago says there were two daughters, but evi dently they had died before this time, and he has no record of them. It is to be observed that this property was close by that of Stephen4 Dickerman, page 467. 574 APPENDIX. III. Pages 138 and 346. Additions to the Family of Medad Atwater. II. Lowly6 Atwater, b.

By the kindness of Dr. William" Bradley of Evanston, Ills., a paper prepared by his father, Dr. Samuel BF Bradley of Greece, N. Y., has been placed in our hands, and will be found of interest to many. The personal reminiscences of nearly a century aga are of especial value. " According to the family tradition we are descended from William Bradley, an officer of Cromwell's army, who came to Connecticut about 1650, and was the first settler of the town of North Haven. His son was Abraham Bradley, a deacon in the church of New Haven. His son was Daniel Bradley, the first. The next in succession was Daniel Bradley, the second, commonly called " Deacon Daniel," my great-grandfather. He had five sons. Daniel, the eldest, was deacon in the church in Hamden (Mt. Carmel parish), and lived to be 93 years old. William, the second son, died in Lanesboro (Mass.), Dec. 18, 1809, aged 79. Jabez, the third son, died in Hamden. Jesse, the fourth son, died in Lee, Mass., very aged. Joel, the youngest, was my grandfather. Daniel Bradley, the first, had four sons, from whom are descended four branches of the Bradleys. Moses settled in Cheshire, Conn. ; some of his family moved to Vermont ; Stephen R. Bradley, formerly U. S. senator, was of that family. Amos lived and died in Hamden, and his posterity are still there. Daniel is DR. BRADLEY'S REMINISCENCES. 583 the father of our branch. Stephen settled in Stockbridge, Mass. His son was Elisha, and his sons were Lent, Isaiah, Asahel, Medad, Bishop and Stephen. Lent Bradley was the father of Cornelia Bradley, my first wife. My father (Rev. Joel Bradley) fitted for college with Rev. Dr. Goodrich, of Durham, and graduated at Yale in 1789. He studied theology with Dr. Jona than Edwards of New Haven. He received a call from the Congregational church of West Moreland, N. Y., May 14, 1793, and was ordained July 16th, of the same year. I was born there Aug. 14, 1796, on Sunday, and was named after my grand father. At my mother's death I was not quite one year and a half old, and my sister but twelve days old. When I was between three and four, we went to Connecticut, to live with our grandparents, I in Hamden, with grandfather Bradley, and Mary Ann in Cheshire, with grandfather Beach. Here we remained about three and a half years, till our father married again, and settled in Ballston, N. Y. He took us home July 9, 1803. Of my residence in Hamden,* my recollections are vivid ; I was not seven years old. Near by lived Amos and Asa Bradley, cousins of my grandfather, with numerous families. In another direction was my great uncle, Deacon Daniel Bradley, and his son, Deacon Aaron Bradley, with his children David and Patty. To the south were my aunts Dickerman and Kimberly, and my uncles Amasa and Elam, with their numerous families, my cousins ; and over the river under the mountain, lived Uncle Jesse Tuttle, half-brother of my grand-mother Bradley, and his pretty daughter, Lucy, who was drowned in the river March 26, 1807, aged 12 years. I learned my letters of parson Ives, out of his prayer-book. He lived in Cheshire and served the church in Hamden, and used frequently to call at my grandfather's, who was an Episcopalian. My grandmother was a Congrega- tionalist. Her minister was Rev. Asa Lyman, whom I well recollect. Col. Samuel Bellamy kept tavern and store at the Center, and lived in great style. Here I first went to school. Kitty Monson was my first teacher ; afterwards Mr. Blakesly, whom I saw on a visit more than forty years after. My school com panions were Mary, Joseph and Amos Hough, Sukey Deering, David and Patty Bradley, Asa Bradley and his sisters, Lucy Tuttle, Enos Brooks, my cousins Horace and Sterling Bradley, L. Monson. During my attendance at school the turnpike was completed. Previously to that I had never seen a four-wheeled carriage. The people went to market with ox carts and to meeting with one horse chaises, or on horseback with one on the pillion. My grandfather was a driving business man. He died in 1801, and I then lived with my grandmother. She was a venerable and pious old lady and I was much attached to her. She died in 1828, aged 88, outliving three of her sons, Amasa, Seymour and my father, and two of her daughters, Phebe and Mary. * The Joel Bradley place was at the north end of the town, on a road going west from the turn pike, the property owned by the late Mr. James Leek. A modern house now occupies the ground : but a few years ago the ancient homestead was standing in good preservation — a fine old " lean-to back " house, some fifty feet or more from the street, with grand elms shading the front yard, and looking squarely toward the southern sun. It was, perhaps, the best specimen of an old-time farm-house in the whole town. 584 APPENDIX. To three of my cousins I was much attached, Chloe Dickerman two years older than I, and her sister Sally, nine days younger, and Polly Kimberly, about my age. Chloe never married, Sally married Horace Goodyear and had one child. Of Polly's history I know nothing. My father was attacked with the pleurisy, and, when he recovered, his lungs were so much affected, that he could preach but a few times, and finally, in the fall of 1811, gave up preaching and entered into other business. I was now fifteen and entered the Sophomore class of Union College, Sep. 17, 1811. Thus I left Ballston, with all its agreeable associations of places and persons." Dr. Samuel B.' Bradley studied medicine and was a practicing physician at Greece, N. Y. He was a man of scientific and literary tastes and widely known for his attainments. V. Page 303.

The gravestones of Isaac3 Dickerman and his two wives have been found in a house on Wall street. The inscription on his stone is nearly erased. All that remains is Isaac Dickerman in ye 81 Year of his Age. The other two inscriptions are as follows : In Memory of Mrs. Mary wife of Isaac Dickerman Esq. who died Aug. the 31st A. D. 1753. Aged 66. In Memory of Mrs. Elizabeth Relict of Deac. Isaac Dickerman Esqr. who died April ye 5th A. D. 1767 Aged 77 Years. The Sweet Remembrance of the fust Like Incense Riseth from the dust. VIII. Disconnected Families. In July 1896, a letter was received from Emerson L. Dickerman of Oswego, N. Y., giving some account of his father's family and making inquiries concerning relationship to others of the name. A call was subsequently made at their home in Oswego, when the remark was made that they had never seen a Dickerman before of any other family than their own. The family is as follows : 588 APPENDIX. 283. Lemuel Dickerman, b. Feb. 14 (?), 1787, at Brattleboro (?), Vermont, removed about 1820 to Charlton, Saratoga Co., N. Y., where he m. Rebecca Danford ; removed in 1835 to Oswego, and died in 1867. Early in life he was a manufacturer of small spin ning wheels, later a farmer. He was of sturdy strength, careless of exposure and never had the toothache. A strict Presbyterian, he would not allow his son to play the violin on Sunday. For himself, he did not care for music. I. Ursula Ann, b. 1823. m. Thomas Goulding of Dexter, N. Y., d. 1876, at Oswego, no children. II. Samuel Danford, b. Dec. 28, 1826, at Charlton, m (1) 1848, at Oswego, Maria Cowles, who died about five years later; m. (2) May 4, 1870, Lydia Killam. 1. a son, died in infancy. 2. Gertrude Olive, b. March 7, 1851, at Oswego, m. March 1, 1876, Wm. H. Patterson of Pattersonville ; removed to Fairport in 1886. i. Freeman Patterson, b. Feb. 6, 1882, d. Jan. 26, 1886. ii. Lois Marco Patterson, b. June 18, 1888. 3. Lizzie Marion, b. Sep. 4, 1874, at Oswego. 4. Emerson Loren, b. Aug. 31, 1875, at Oswego. Lemuel Dickerman was born in Vermont, probably at Brattle boro or near there, though we find no place for him in the family of Dr. Lemuel6 Dickerman, nor in that of John6 Dickerman. He had a number of brothers but no sisters, and his grandmother lived to be nearly a hundred years old. His father, whose name is not known, is said to have been at the battles of Bunker Hill and Lexington and to have served through the eight years of the Revolutionary war. An arrangement was made for the brothers to go west from Vermont together. The others wrote to Lemuel, appointing a time and place of meeting, but the letter was delayed, so that on his arrival they were gone and he never heard anything more of them. He was in Vermont at the close of the war of 1812, and was one of a regiment formed there. He had relatives in Connecticut, but how near is not known. The name Lemuel seems to point to a connection with the Stoughton branch, and the query arises whether he may not have been descended from Jaazaniah6 Dickerman, whom we know to A NEW YORK FAMILY. 589 have been in the Revolutionary war from Connecticut, page 67. Comfort" and Elijah6 Dickerman were also in the war, and we have no record of them beyond this, page pi. The town records at Wardsboro, Vt., tell of a land transfer by Peter Dickerman about 1810. Was he the Peter' Dickerman recorded on page 26 1 This seems improbable. Apparently there is a field in Vermont for further investiga tions. A New York Family. Notes furnished by Rev. Wm. Frederick Dickerman. It is claimed that this family is of Holland extraction. Tradi tion says that the original name was not Dickerman but Duhl- hagen, from which it was changed by a Dutch forefather to con ceal his identity when a prisoner of war. The older members of the family speak of an ancestor who owned a valuable bridge in Holland, and coming to New York, died on the return voyage. It is said that two lots now occupied by business buildings adjacent to Trinity cemetery were owned by a Dickerman and transferred without the wife's signature. A blacksmith shop stood there a long time during the Revolutionary war because a clear title could not be obtained. An early Dickerman gave the town of Litchfield, Conn., a piece of land for milling purposes, with the condition that it should be forfeited to the heirs when no longer so used. 284.

In Boston, Mass., there is an Abraham Dickerman, a tailor, who came to this country with his family about 1890. Imperfect information has been received of another Dickman family, as follows : "James Dickman, a printer by trade, was born in Augusta, Maine, and at one time published a paper called the Columbian Star, at Alfred, Maine. His father was Thomas, who died when he was four years old. He had a brother who settled in the western part of Massachusetts. He had also two other sons, Gustavus, who died in New York some twenty-five years ago, and Constantine, who resided in Maiden, Mass.," quite recently. This account was sent in April, 1892, by the daughter of James, Miss Emma E. Dickman, of Cambridgeport, Mass. Further intelligence was given, May 2, 1892, by Miss Harriet M. Dickman, the daughter of Constantine. She wrote : " Father has no knowledge of his family, other than that his father was born, probably in 1757, in Scotland. He died when my father was about two years of age, and we have never met any others of the name, except the immediate family." INDEX. Surnames are printed in small capitals and are to be supplied in the lists that follow.
