INTRODUCTION. 
 
 It has been well said that the history of a nation is but the ag- 
 gregate of the biographies of its peoples ; and since these are so 
 interwoven and so dependent each on the others, it is evident that 
 no single biography or set of biographies can be complete without 
 some understanding of the events occurring in society and in the 
 world at large during the lifetime of the subjects. A brief review, 
 therefore, of the condition of aifairs in England will be a needful 
 preliminary to an account of the coming thence of our immigrant 
 ancestor. 
 
 Two hundred and sixty-eight years ago, to wit, in 1634, in ship 
 Griffin, came from London to Boston and Cambridge a company of 
 emigrants who had left their homes in England to seek new homes 
 in a foreign land, — a land strange and wild, inhabited by fierce and 
 formidable animals, and by men even fiercer and more formidable. 
 
 In that company we believe came Nicholas Danforth, then 48 
 years old, with his young family of six children, three daughters and 
 three sons. His wife had died five years before, leaving seven chil- 
 dren, of which the eldest, Elizabeth, was but 11 years old, the 
 youngest, Jonathan, an infant of a year. 
 
 One daughter had died in their English home, and now they had 
 left that home, with its comforts and its life-long associations ; had 
 left the neighbors and friends of their early days ; had left fertile 
 fields and all the attractions of a rural home in a beautiful part of 
 that very beautiful land, — near to the sea and not far from the me- 
 tropolis, — ^the birthplace and the last resting-place of their ancestors. 
 They were now voluntary exiles in a land of which little was known 
 to them, and the most of what was known was of a nature to repel 
 rather than to attract any but the most courageous and resolute. 
 
 What had led them, what was inducing others like them, to 
 foreojo the comforts of established homes for the discomforts and 
 risks that were obviously before them? To answer this question, a 
 brief glance at the history of the times may be helpful. 
 
Viu DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 The revival of art and literature — the awakening from the stupor 
 of the Dark Ages — had been in progress for a century, when late 
 in the 14th century (1383), Wycliffe, a priest of the Romish 
 church, an ardent opposor of the corruptions that prevailed in that 
 church, translated the Bible into the English language. Hitherto, 
 being only in Latin and Greek versions, it had been a sealed book 
 to the people, in fact it had been exclusively in the keeping of the 
 clergy. Copies of the English version were now multiplied in 
 manuscript, and Wycliffe's doctrines of opposition to the arbitrary 
 dominion of the pope were spread abroad by his disciples. 
 
 Here began the attempt for the exercise of private judgment in 
 religion — a right to be asserted and denied — an exercise to be 
 striven for with varying success during all later ages ; and even yet 
 attained and enjoyed by a small part only of the so-called Christian 
 world. But the multiplying of copies was very slow, until, toward 
 the close of the 15th century (1471), Caxton, a London merchant, 
 introduced into England the art of printing with movable type, 
 which 20 years before had been invented in Germany. By this the 
 work of disseminating copies of scripture was greatly promoted, 
 and early in the 16th century (1524), an improved translation by 
 Tyndale superseded that of Wycliffe. 
 
 Three great events in the world's history were nearly contempo- 
 raneous : namely, the invention of printing with movable type, by 
 Guttenberg (about 1450), and its introduction into England 20 
 years later; next, the discovery of America, by Columbus (1492), 
 and the exploration of the shores of North America, by the Cabots, 
 father and son, six years later ; and thirdly, the Protestant Refor- 
 mation, precipitated by Luther, in 1517. But as ''there were 
 many refornicrs before the Reformation," so these three great meas- 
 ures of progress may fairly be compassed in the short space of half a 
 century. Dr. Palfrey well says that national revolutions, whether 
 political or religious, are never sudden. If they appear sudden, it 
 is because the agencies that have been preparing them have been at 
 work beneath the surface, where, indeed, they are most efficient. 
 
 The impulse to religious tliought which appeared in the 16th cen- 
 tury had lain in embryo in the English heart ever since WyclifFe's 
 time. Henry VIII had gained the special favor of the pope in the 
 early part of his reign, when he wrote a book denouncing Luther 
 and his work, and the pope conferred on him the title of " Defender 
 of the Faith ; " but afterward, a quarrel arose between them when 
 the holy father opposed the king's matrimonial schemes ; and the 
 spu-it of liberty had so far permeated the laud that Parliament was 
 quite ready to uphold the king, and by enactment disclaimed allegi- 
 ance to Rome, and declared the kincj to be the head of the church. 
 
DANFOETH GENEALOGY. IX 
 
 Although some re-action occurred late in Henry's reign, under 
 his successor (Edward VI), liberal views prevailed; prisoners for 
 heresy were set free ; preaching, which had been suppressed, was 
 revived ; the Bible, in English, was placed in every church ; the 
 Book of Common Prayer was compiled, and the articles of faith of 
 the church of England were first drawn up. By this king, too, 
 general education was greatly promoted by the establishment of free 
 schools in many places. 
 
 Unhappily to this succeeded the baleful reign of Queen Mary, 
 who renewed allegiance to Rome ; persecuted heretics, — burning 
 many at the stake, — while her bigoted and cruel husband, Philip II, 
 of Spain, was doing the like in Holland, torturing and putting to 
 cruel death thousands of Protestants. 
 
 But Mary's reign was short, and when her sister Elizabeth came 
 to the throne, England was thoroughly divided in its religion. 
 Many noble families adhered to the church of Rome, but a majority 
 favored the church of England as organized by Edward. The 
 creed, formulated by Edward, was revised and reduced to the 39 arti- 
 cles which still are retained ; the English service book was reinstated, 
 and an act was passed requiring all clergymen to use that, and that 
 only, while another act imposed a heavy fine on all who failed to 
 attend the services of the church on Sundays and holidays. 
 
 Elizabeth herself seems to have had no deep-abiding conviction 
 in these matters. Her tendency was toward Protestantism, but a 
 crucifix with lighted candles before it was kept suspended in her 
 private chapel, and she prayed to the virgin mother of Christ as 
 fervently as her sister Mary had ever done. Thus, really, she rep- 
 resented the nation — halting between two forms of faith. 
 
 There now arose in the English church a large and influential 
 class of thoughtful people who demanded that the church be purified 
 from Romish forms and doctrines. But the principle was still 
 maintained that church and state were inseparable ; and whoever 
 refused to sustain the established form of religion was deemed a 
 rebel against the government. A special court was established to 
 try such rebels. Under its jurisdiction many Roman Catholics were 
 tortured and put to death, and many Puritans were imprisoned, and 
 some even put to death, for so-called seditious publications. 
 
 Following Elizabeth, came James, who had been king of Scot- 
 land. In the kingdom thus united were three realms, professing 
 three several religions. Presbyterianism prevailed in Scotland, 
 Romanism in Ireland, Episcopacy in England. 
 
 The new king, feeble in body, mentally weak, a coward, but with 
 a certain shrewdness, a smattering of learning, and unbounded 
 conceit, was an unreasoning bigot. One of his earliest acts was a 
 statute punishing witchcraft with death, and under that law many a 
 
X DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 wretched woman went to the scafFold, whose only crime was that 
 she was old, ugly and friendless. 
 
 James hated the Puritans, When a deputation often of these — 
 men selected for their high position and character — waited upon him 
 with a petition for some measures of reform, he put them in prison ; 
 and he affirmed of that people "I will make them conform, or I 
 will harry them out of the land." He violated the privileges of the 
 House of Commons, in which were many Puritans, rejecting many 
 who were legally elected ; and when the House protested, the king 
 seized the official journal and with his own hands tore out the 
 record. 
 
 He wanted money and was obliged to apply to Parliament to 
 supply his wants ; but Parliament would grant nothing until certain 
 specified evils were reformed. He created a new title of rank, that 
 of baronet, which he granted to any who would pay a high price. 
 As a last resource, he compelled all persons who had an income of 
 forty pounds or more derived from landed property to accept knight- 
 hood (thus incurring feudal obligations and payments) or purchase 
 exemption by a heavy fine. James's aiTogance and extortion 
 seemed limitless, and when Archbishop Abbott showed disapproval 
 of the tyranny, he was suspended from his office, and Laud, bishop 
 of Bath and Wells, who had been a member of the Court of High 
 Commission for trial of heretics or rebels, became prominent in 
 administration. 
 
 Jnmes, dying, was succeeded by his son Charles, who inherited his 
 father's belief of the divine right of kings. He was perpetually in 
 conflict with his subjects. Laud was promoted to be Archbishop of 
 Canterbury and used his almost unlimited power to compel Puritans 
 and other dissenters to conformity with the church. Macaulay says 
 that under his direction every corner of tlie realm, was subject to 
 constant inspection. Every little congregation of Separatists was 
 tracked out'^and broken up, and even the devotions of private fami- 
 lies could not escape the vigilance of his spies. Nor was this all. 
 The Convocation compiled a book of canon law, church law, 
 whereby all who refused to conform were excommunicated and 
 cast out as heathen ; they were made incapable of bringing an ac- 
 tion at law for recovery of legal debts, and were liable, by action of 
 court, to be imprisoned for life, or until they gave satisfaction to the 
 church. They were, in fact, exposed to indignities of every sort 
 during life, and denied Christian burial after death. 
 
 Such a condition was not to be endured, and the inevitable recoil, 
 with all who cared for freedom, is the answer to our question of 
 
DANFORTH GENEALOGY. XI 
 
 why Nicholas Danforth and such as he should prefer exile to tarry- 
 ing under such oppression. 
 
 Among the many who suffered persecution was Rev. Thomas 
 Shepard, ' whose protest against spiritual despotism made him 
 especially obnoxious to Archbishop Laud, so that he was hunted 
 from place to place, and finally prohibited from preaching. Thus 
 distressed, he resolved to escape from England. In this, after 
 much delay, with many obstructions caused by the government, he 
 at last succeeded, and with a company of friends, crossed the ocean 
 and settled at Cambridge. 
 
 It was a few years previous to this that from the little village of 
 Scrooby, in Yorkshire, a company of brave men had escaped with 
 their families to Holland, where they were kindly and hospitably 
 treated ; but since the habits and language of that worthy people 
 were foreign to them, a large part of them preferred the remote 
 New World, and the story of the Pilgrims, their voyage in the little 
 craft, the " Mayflower," their landing at Plymouth in December, 
 1620, their toils, trials, sufferings, their bravery and their triumphs 
 — these are a tale familiar as household words. 
 
 Happily, the spirit of commercial enterprise and adventure was 
 beginning to furnish means of traversing the ocean. Both James 
 and Charles had granted charters to companies of merchants, with 
 right to specified tracts of territory, to trade with the natives, and 
 with the duty of christianizing the savages. 
 
 Our ancestor availed himself of these facilities as did many another 
 who like him was seeking the freedom that was denied him at home. 
 
 No connected history of the families of Danforth during the 
 early years of their life in New England is to be found. 
 
 With them, as with most others of the early settlers, tlie strug- 
 gle for existence engrossed their time and labor. To provide shel- 
 ter, food and clothing, and to guard themselves and theirs from 
 assault of wild animals or hostile tribes was an all enjjrossins task. 
 Along with this duty, they recognized the importance of maintain- 
 ing the ministry of religion and of instruction for their children. 
 
 Within a comparatively few years, volumes of local history have 
 been compiled and published, first by individuals, often clergymen, 
 and later by committees appointed by the towns. These have rap- 
 idly multiplied. They afford important aid to the compilers of the 
 history and genealogy of families, a fondness for which has happily 
 been fostered ; and in consequence, family meetings and the organ- 
 ization of family associations have greatly increased. 
 
xii DANTORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 The first meeting of the Danforth family assembled in Jackson 
 Hall, Lowell, at the call of Joseph Danforth, Esq., of Tyngsboro, 
 on Tuesday, October 14, 1879. About fifty persons were present. 
 
 The venerable man who had summoned them, welcomed the com- 
 pany, who, at his suggestion chose for chairman, Hon. Charles 
 Pinckney Danforth of Nashua, N. H., with Charles H. Danforth 
 as secretary. 
 
 These were afterward elected President and Recording Secretary 
 of the Danforth Family Association, with sixteen Vice-presidents, 
 William S. Danforth of Plymouth, Corresponding Secretary, and 
 Charles C. Danforth of Concord as Treasurer. 
 
 After social conversation and interesting remarks by several per- 
 sons, committees were appointed to prepare Constitution and By- 
 Laws, to arrange for a second meeting, and to engage an orator 
 and a poet for the occasion. It was voted to hold the next meeting 
 at the same place, on the second Tuesday of October, 1880. 
 
 At the second meeting, held in accordance with the foregoing, 
 nearly 100 persons were present. Hon. Charles P. Danforth pre- 
 sided, and in the absence of the Secretary, Charles C. Danforth 
 acted as Secretary. The committee on Constitution and By-Laws 
 reported a concise code, which was adopted. The historical com- 
 mittee reported progress, and letters were read from friends unable 
 to be present, llev. Edward Danforth Curtis read an able histori- 
 cal paper. Rev. Henry A. Hazen of Billerica, Hon. Joseph White, 
 Secretary of the Mass. Board of Education, Mrs. Lephe Danforth 
 of Philadelphia and Mr. Vespasian Danforth of Cambridge made 
 interesting remarks, and Col. Charles C. Danforth read an appro- 
 priate poem. Two children, sons of Mr. George D. Danforth of 
 Tyngsboro, were present, being of the tenth generation of the family 
 in New England. 
 
 The third meeting was held in Jackson Hall, October 11, 1881, 
 when a letter was read from Mrs. Richard B. Allen of Providence, 
 enclosing a paper fi'om Mr. William Smith, containing details of 
 family history ; original notes from George P. Danforth of Scran- 
 ton, Pa., were also read, and letters from James F. Danforth of 
 Athens, xVlabama, telling of his father, who went from Charles- 
 town, ^lass., sixty years before, and from James B. Danforth of 
 Rock Island, Illinois. Mrs. A. F. Danforth Raymond of Syra- 
 cuse read an able historical paper, "showing a great deal of re- 
 search.*' 
 
 At the fourth meeting, held in Wesley an Hall, Boston, Septem- 
 ber 6, 1882, about 140 were present. Hon. Charles Pinckney 
 
DANFORTH GENEALOGY. XUl 
 
 Danforth made an eloquent address on retiring from the presidency 
 of the association, which he had held from the beginning, and sub- 
 sequently, on the report of the nominating committee, the following 
 persons were chosen : Hon. Peter S. Danforth of Middleburg, 
 N. Y., President, with twelve Vice-presidents; Col. Charles C. 
 Danforth of Concord, Recording Secretary and Treasurer ; William 
 S. Danforth of Plymouth, Corresponding Secretary. The commit- 
 tee on heraldry reported, describing a coat of arms which had been 
 furnished, as that of the Danfords, and which they thought was the 
 coat of arms of the family. 
 
 Hon. Peter S. Danforth read an able and interesting historical 
 paper; Col. Charles 0. Danforth read a poem; a committee of five 
 was appointed " to take action in preparing a history of the Dan- 
 forth family," viz. : Mr. John J. May, Mrs. Danforth-Raymond of 
 Syracuse, William S. Danforth of Plymouth, Col. John Danforth 
 of New York, and Edward Danforth of Elmira, N. Y. Mr. Ves- 
 pasian Danforth of Cambridge presented a copy of a pedigree from 
 the College of Arms of England, with " Details of real estate trans- 
 actions of Thomas and Nicholas Danforth of Framlingham, Eng- 
 land." 
 
 The Association dined together at the Quincy House. After 
 which, they listened to addresses by Rev. Henry A. Hazen, Mr. 
 John J. May, Hon. Edward Danforth of Elmira, William C. Dan- 
 forth, Esq., of Barnard, Vt., Dr. Isaac N. Danforth of Chicago, 
 and Joseph L. Danforth, Esq., of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Danforth- 
 Raymond and Mrs. Colman of Syracuse responded to an invitation 
 to address the company and were listened to with interest. Several 
 letters were read and the exercises were closed with the singing by 
 the choir of an original ode. 
 
 At the fifth meeting, held at the Meionaon, Boston, Sept. 1, 
 1886, more than 200 were present. In the absence of the presi- 
 dent, Mr. William S. Danforth of Plymouth was chosen to preside, 
 and opened the meeting with a brief address. Rev. Horace M. 
 Danforth of Oswego, N. Y., offiered an impressive prayer. Mr. 
 May, as chairman of the committee, made an address of welcome, 
 and a poem was read by Mr. Samuel May, Jr. The gentleman 
 who had been appointed to present a historical address, having failed 
 at the eleventh hour, it fell to the lot of the chairman of the genea- 
 logical committee to prepare such a paper, and it was read to the 
 meeting by Rev. Henry A. Hazen. Portions of this paper are 
 given above. 
 
 Interesting addresses were made by Dr. Isaac N. Danforth and 
 Miss Juliet Danforth of Chicago ; Rev. James Danforth of Tyngs- 
 boro; Hon. Herman W. Snow of Kankakee, 111., and others. 
 
XIV DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 The sixth meeting was held at Chicago, July 20, 1893, Dr. Isaac 
 N. Danforth presiding, with Miss Sarah Smith King of San Antonio, 
 Texas, secretary. Mr. May presented the report of the committee, 
 embodying the principal parts of the historical paper he had given 
 at the previous meeting. This address was printed in the report of 
 the meeting, which has been widely circulated in the family. The 
 committee previously appointed reported the motto : " JVec temet'e, 
 nee timide," to be used with the family coat of arms, which was 
 adopted. 
 
 The meeting listened with interest to an address by Hon. Adams 
 Earl of Lafayette, Ind., who in many ways contributed largely to 
 the enjoyment and success of the meeting. A very entertaining 
 speech was made by Hialmar H. Stone of Rockford, 111. ; addresses 
 followed by Royal Richardson of Pleasanton, la. ; George Danforth 
 Burr of Minneapolis, Minn., and Mrs. Elizabeth Skelton Danforth 
 of Chicago. Many letters of great value were read. After singing 
 the Doxology, with piano accompaniment by Mr. Solomon Dan- 
 forth of Lowell, the meeting closed with an exceedingly impressive 
 prayer by Rev. Otis S. Danforth of Rochester, N. H. 
 
 Of the committee appointed for this work, the writer, though 
 much the older, alone survives. 
 
 From the beginning, tliree of the number — busily engaged in 
 their respective offices, — were unable to do more than to supply 
 the details of their immediate families. The work, begun with the 
 aid of Mrs. Raymond, might have been completed long ago but for 
 the untimely death* of that excellent lady. 
 
 In several visits to Syracuse and one visit of Mrs. Raymond at 
 my home, the work had far advanced ; then, having no assistant, 
 and being otherwise fully occupied, I was compelled to lay aside the 
 work, except that a record was kept of passing events, and replies 
 made to correspondents. The prevailing fondness for joining the 
 patriotic Orders has brought many applicants for genealogic details 
 to which I have tried to give prompt response. 
 
 After a long interval, during which I sought in vain to find an- 
 other to take the duty oflP my hands, I have been enabled to resume 
 by the proffered aid of Mrs. Florence (Danforth) Stamp of Ogden 
 (post office address, Adams Basin), N. Y. With taste and talent 
 for such work, and experience in the genealogy of the kindred Man- 
 
 * This occurred at the family home in Gilford Street, Syracuse, where her elder sis- 
 ter, Mrs. Lucy Colman, continues, after many years of active philanthropic work, care- 
 fully attended by her niece, Mrs. Elizabeth Raymond, whose husband, lately candidate 
 of the labor party for the mayoralty, has been during many years manager of extensive 
 machine works, and in high position in the Masonic fraternity. 
 
DANFORTH GENEALOGY. XV 
 
 ning family, Mrs. Stamp has conducted a wide correspondence and 
 compiled many details, thus rendering very valuable assistance. 
 
 Thanks are due to many friends who have supplied details for this 
 volume. Notably among such are Miss Sarah G. Williams of 
 Rocky Hill and Hartford, Conn. ; Miss Effie Danforth of Norwalk, 
 Ohio ; Mrs. Emma M. Wiley of Colorado Springs, Colo. ; Miss 
 H. Jane Witherill of Russell, N. Y. ; Miss Sarah S. King of San 
 Antonio, Texas, and many others, of whose kind assistance recog- 
 nition will be found in the succeeding pages. 
 
 The large amount of material thus accumulated required for its 
 orderly arrangement an amount of labor for which I had neither 
 sufficient time, strength nor eyesight, and the aid of the experienced 
 compiler and publisher. Rev. Charles H. Pope, was happily secured. 
 His skillful aid in arranging material, indexing and correcting proof 
 has been of greatest value. 
 
 It is on many accounts regrettable that the strict modern method 
 of compilation rejects much of the detail of collateral branches, of 
 which a great deal has been gathered. It is intended to preserve 
 much of this in an interleaved volume which may be finally deposited 
 with the N. E. Historic Genealogical Society, 18, Somerset Street, 
 Boston. 
 
 Presumably some errors and very many omissions will be found 
 in our pages. Few similar works are quite free from such faults, 
 and the long interval between the early and the later periods of work 
 has inevitably left many spaces which ought to be filled. Informa- 
 tion on these points will be very welcome, and may be sent during 
 the current year to my present address (P. O. Box 2348), and 
 afterward to Mr. Pope, at 221, Columbus Ave., Boston. 
 
 As from time to time I have studied the history and recorded the 
 life and death of these worthy men and women of successive gener- 
 ations, I have been impressed with the importance of the work which 
 cherishes their memory. 
 
 Extending over more than two and a half centuries, the record 
 bears the names of many able and influential statesmen ; of many 
 learned judges ; many honored clergymen, skillful physicians, able 
 lawyers, enterprising merchants, ingenious workmen and inventors, 
 pioneers and progressive tillers of the soil, with mothers, wives, sis-

 It is to the writer an interesting thought that his own ancestors, 
 dwelling since 1640 in Roxbury and Boston, were constantly con- 
 nected in church and in civil government, and frequently by family 
 ties, with the gi-eat family here commemorated ; and that many of

 Conscious of many imperfections in his work, the writer can

DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 ^ Nicholas Danforth, the pioneer, is thus described by Rev. 
 Cotton blather, the famous scholar and writer, in his account of Rev! 
 Samuel Danforth, as one of the celebrated ministers of the early 
 days of Massachusetts : 
 
 " Mr. N. Daniorta ; a gentleman of such estate and repute in the world 
 that It cost him a cousiderable sum to escape the knighthood which K 
 Charles I. imposed on all of so much per annum ; and of such figure and 
 esteem m the church that he procured that famous lecture at Framlmgham 
 m Suffolk, where hs had a fine mannour ; which lecture was kept by Mr 
 Burroughs and m.mj other noted ministers in their turn ; to whom esnaci- 
 ally to Mr. Sheparc, he prov'd a Gaius, and especially when the Laudian 
 fury scorchad them. This person had three sous, wliereof the second was 
 our Samuel, horn in Septemher m the year 1626, and bv the desire of his 
 mother, who died ttiree years after his bhth, earnestly dedicated unto the 
 * schools of the prophats.' His father brought him to New Entrla'^a hi th 
 year 1634, and at his death, about foiu years after his arrival here, he com 
 mitted this hopeful son of many prayers unto the paternal oversight of M'- 
 bhepherd, who proved a kind patron unto him." [Magnalia, II, 591. 
 
 Investigations in the town and county to which the foregoin*^ 
 account points have been made at various times for a quarter o^' a 
 century^ and lately completed by the very accurate searcher, Misa 
 Emma M.^Walford, of London. The result is exceedingly grati- 
 fying. We discover the ancestry of our pioneer to the icanl 
 generation^in Fiamlingham, with, notes of the good standing of th 
 family. While his father and maternal grandfather are each stylec 
 *' yeoman", the possession of wealth and exhibition of qualities tha- 
 mad6 the officer in town and church may well be supposed to hav • 
 led the king to make the oifer to Nicholas Danforth, wliich Mathe. ' 
 describes. Although a sympathizer with the Puritan party at th 
 time of his coming hither, we see that he had been in harmon- 
 with the "standing order" before. His help extended to miuisteia 
 oi the new movement would naturally lead to his being less acce-l, 
 able at home and more inclined to migrate as tliey had done. \\iw

 The parish registers of Framlingbam (where the name is spelled 
 Danforth, Danforthe, Danford, Danforde, Daneford, Darnford, 
 Darneforde, Dampford, Dampforde, Dernford and Derneforth) show 
 that Nicholas was one of the leading men, being a ''church warden

 in 1622 at least. ^Ye leara further from the History of the 
 town (p. 176) that he was a member of the "Court Baron" or 
 ''Borough Leet Jury" in 1629. He was the son of Thomas and 
 Jane (Sudbury) Danforth, baptized in F. "1 Mar. 1589." The 
 niarriag-e registers are Avanting from 1615 to 1620, the period which 
 included his wedding ; the Baptismal registers give us merely the 
 Christian name of his wife, " Elizabeth " ; nor do any other docu- 
 ments yet discovered show her family name. The baptitims of the 
 children are given below in due order. As the burial of " Elizabeth 
 Darnford," "22 Feb. 1628" corresponds to Mather's statement 
 that she " died three years after his birth," the list of children may 
 be presumed to be coniplete. Thomas Danforth, father of Nicholas, 
 married "24 Jan'', 1585/' Jane, daughter of Thomas Sudbuiy, of 
 Kellshall, county Suffolk, and perhaps of his wife Alice v.'ho sur- 
 vived him ; his will (see foregoing page) made 18 Feb., proved 10 
 March, 1606, made bequests to the children of Jans, "deceased," 
 she having died five years before. Thomas Danforth made his will 
 20 April, 1G20; proved 7 Sept., 1621; making such mention of 
 his children as to show conclusively the relationships in both fam- 
 ilies ; Nicholas was executor. 
 
 Mr, Nicholas Danforth is mentioned in the town records of Cam- 
 bridge as a proprietor in 1635. He bought lands and houses of 
 John White, John Taylcott, William Spencer, and Edward Steb- 
 binge, and of Rev. Thomas Hooker, in October, 1635, and May, 
 1636, these gentlemen all having removed to Connecticut. 
 
 One of the houses he thus purchased was described m the Pro- 
 prietors' Records as follows : i 
 
 "One Dwelling house with outhouses gardens and backside and planMnge 
 ground aboute Three Ackers and halfe the land late of Antho : Couldbay 
 southv/est late of John Pratt southeast the highway to Wattertowu north- 
 west the highway to the windmill hill on the northeast." 
 
 The historian of Cambridge states that he resided on what is now 
 called Bow street, near Mount Auburn street. ^ 
 
 He was chosen a deputy or representative to the General Court in 
 1635. March 3, 1635-6, he was — with others— "deputed to 63tt 
 out the bounds of the newe plantacon above Charles Ryver " [Con- 
 cord]. The committee reported 13 April, 1636. In September 
 following he was appointed to a similar duty, " to measure and sett 
 the bounds of Roxberry " ; and to sett those between Dedham and 
 Dorchester 15 Nov. 1637. When the important committee to "take 
 order for a colledge at Newetowne" was selected, 20 Nov. 1637, 
 Mr. Danforth was one of those selected. Another land boundary 
 was submitted to him with associates 6(1)1637-8. He was also 
 one of the eleven men (one in a town), whom the Court by its vote 
 
DANTOHTH GENEALOGY. 5 
 
 12 March, 1637-8, allowed "to sell wine & strong water," — "no 
 man else to sell by retaile w"'out license from the counsell." So 
 great was the pressure upon - the government to ' provide places 
 v.'here these articles could be bought, and so many the abuses of the 
 retail traffic, that they sought to place the traffic in the hands of 
 their first citizens. 
 
 The records of the Court show that 2 May, 1638, another man 
 was appointed to attend to the Dedham and Dorchester business 
 " insteed of Mr. Damford who is dead " ; a subsequent reference to 
 the matter giving his name in better spelling — " Mr. Danforth." 
 
 Soon after the beginning of the new year, 1638, namely in the 
 second month, April, this brief, yet highly honorable career closed ; 
 the day of the month is not knovf n ; the record reads : " Nicholas 
 Danford dyed (2°) 1638." No minute of the disposition of his 
 estate remains in any other form than the statement in the Proprie- 
 tors' Records, among the notes respecting lands purchased by 
 Nathaniel Sparrowhauke of various persons that a certain parcel was 
 "bought of the ffeoffeas cf Nicholas Danforth deceased." The entry 
 is not dated. The son Thomas sold land in 1654, which he stated 
 he "had inherited from his father, Nicholas Danforth." Cam- 
 bridge documents do not supply a list of the pioneer's children. 
 The wills of the sons Thomas and Samuel connect them, and Sam- 
 uel mentions brothers Thomas and Jonathan ; the latter, unfortu- 
 nately, left no will. But of other children we hfive scant tokens, and 
 cannot avoid a feeling of regret that the brothers failed to refer to 
 their sisters in their wills or other documents. " Friend Capt. An- 
 drew Belcher," says Thomas, with no hint of relationship ; and Dea. 
 Trowbridge is also called "friend." 
 
 But the Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, in his church record, makes note 
 that Andrew Belcher and Elizabeth, daughter of the late Nicfholas 
 Danforth, were married Oct. 1, 1639 ; and says that Anna, vnfe 
 of Matthew Bridge, was also a daughter. 
 
 " Lydia Damforth " is asserted by Hinman in his work on the 
 founders of Connecticut, to have been the vrife of William Beaman 
 or Beamont of Say brook. Conn. ; but he gives no note of her fam- 
 ily. Dr. Savage states squarely that she was a daughter of Nicholas 
 of Cambridge ; but gives no authority for the statement. The fact 
 that " Lydia " is one of the children of " Nicholas and Elizabeth 
 Danforthe" baptized at Framlingham, May 24, 1625, is taken by 
 gome as evidence that she v/as the Connecticut bride. [See p. 11.] 
 
 The wife of our pioneer died, as we have seen, in the year 
 1628-9. The writer has no means cf knowing from whence 
 the supposition sprang that she was " Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. 
 William Symmes, of Canterbury, England, and a sister of Rev. 
 Zachariah Symmes, second minister of the church at Charlestown." 
 
6 DAKFOETH GENEALOGY. 
 
 The entire absence of allusions to relationship between men so promi- ' 
 nent as the Danfortha and Mr. Symmes in their own writings and 
 the sketches of them written near their own time is stronfj oround 
 for suspecting the eiTor of the guess ; and the distance of Kent 
 from Suffolk also throws discredit upon the theory. But it is enough 
 that we have her character so well indicated by Matlier, who must 
 have been in close relations to the grandsons of the lady ; and her 
 pei-sonality needs no name to support it ; she lives in her children 
 and children's children. Future explorations of wills and parish 
 registers in old England may reveal, however, what we so much 
 desire to know, her family history. In the will of Rev. John, 
 grandson of Nicholas, we shall see a referenee to an entailed estate 
 in England.

 the " Blue Anchor " tavern, which stood at the N.E. corner of 
 Brigliton and Mount Auburn streets; it was afterwards kept by 
 his widowj and from her death by their son Andrew. He was a. 
 member of the church, a member of the artillery company. Ka 
 was licensed by the Court in June, 1654, to keep a house of 
 publitpie entertainment in Cambridge. He died in 1G73; tiio

 * A statue (ideal) in bronze stands on the Common, Cambridge, the work of the able 
 artist (French). This statue, and that of John Harvard, on the Delta in Cambridge, 
 also by French, were the gifts of Samuel James Bridge. 
 
 Samuel James Bridge, in the fifth generation, was born at Boston 1 June, 1809; 
 was a merchant in Boston ; appointed principal appraiser in the Custom House ; in 
 1853 or 1854 he was made Appraiser General of the U. S., for the Pacific coast, residing 
 in San Francisco. He did very valuable service for the government in this position ; 
 by his fidelity and firmness he increased the revenues of his district and saved the 
 government from fraud in several conspicuous instances. He was a most entertaining 
 nai-rator and had a wide circle of friends. After his retirement he traveled extensively. 
 He gave to the town of Dresden, Me. (which was his home in early childhood) a High 
 School building; to the city of San Francisco a fund for honorary medals for public 
 school children ; to the city of Cambridge the ideal statue of his pioneer ancestor, 
 John Bridge ; and to Harvard College the bronze statue of John Harvard, which is the 
 rallying point of Class Day exercises. In 1880 he received the degree of A.M.

 Btead, 31 acres, with 20 acres of woodland. Among 
 their numerous descendants are many distinguished 
 persons ; in later years Hon. Anson Burlingame, 
 bold and brave, distinguished for his services to our 
 country as member of the National House of Repre- 
 seutatives and JNIinister to China ; and for his great 
 service to China in negotiating most important treaties 
 as special ambassador of that government. He died 
 at St. Petersburg, Feb. 23, 1870. Ann Bridge m.

 On the recorcis of Say brook, Conn., there is a page devoted to 
 each cf the early settlers, coutaiuing a list of his lands and also his 
 family record. One of these, which seems to have been written by 
 the proprietor, excepting its last item, relates to "William Beam on." 
 We are not concerned particularly about his lands, of which he had 
 e good share. But there is much interest in "the marig of will 
 beamon" which is thus stated : 
 
 i<rv,<,^i^/' ^■^ Ajn n f) ^ *he 9th of desember in 
 
 "maricato j}^^^ &^/t^ the yere 164 " 
 
 [the edge of the page has worn ofl' so that the last figure is gone]. 
 
 Comparing the name of this bride with the other'writing on the 
 page one would naturally read it, Lidea dorford or dorsord. No 
 one would think it danford, as it has been copied, were it not for 
 two facts : first, that there is no name among the early settlers of 
 New England which can be twisted into either of the forms I have 
 stated; second, on a page a little earlier in the book one finds an 
 entry respecting the name " Danforth Clark," whose cattle-marks 
 are among the interpolated entries of a frugal clerk a century later, 
 1760-1770. Perhaps this entry led Hinman and others to interpret 
 
12 DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 the bride's name "Danforcl." Lydia, eldest daughter of "William 
 aud Lydia Beamon, m. (1) 3 Feb., 1067, Samuel Boyes; she m. (2) 
 15 April, 168i, Alexander Pygara, " from Norwich in old England" 
 [Norwich Conn. I'ecordJ, as his second wife (liis first wife was 
 Judith, daughter of William Rodfin. of N., formerly of Cambridge, 
 Mass.). July 2, 1698, Andrew Belcher, of Boston (son of Andrew 
 and Elizabeth (Danforth) Belcher, of Cambridge, who had married 
 Sarah Gilbert, of Hartford, Conn.) gave a receipt to Mr. Pygam, 
 calling him "cozen," which commonly meant nrphew at that day. 
 Lydia (Beamon) (Boyes) Pygam died July 20, 1734; aud the N. E. 
 Weekly Journal, of Boston, in recording the event, said, " she was 
 the first female child born in Saybrook ; her mother was a Dan- 
 forth." [Adams Notes in Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll., 4th series, Vol.*I.] 
 
 Whence William Beamon came the records do not tell. He may 
 be the person of that name who came from England to Boston ia 
 the Elizabeth, 15 April, 1027; resided in Salem in 1637; testified 
 in court 25 (5) 1644 to an account of R. Saltonstall ; but is no more 
 found in Massachusetts records. Yv^e read in the Saybrook record : 
 •'Lydia Beamont, the wife of William Bsamont, departed this life 
 the 10th day of August, 1686." "William Beamont dyed the 4th 
 of fiebruary, 1698-9."

 Tho:mas, eldest son of Xicholas Danforth, the immigrant, bapt. 
 at Framlingham, Eng., 20 Nov., 1623, came to New England with 
 his father in 1634 and made his home at Carabrids^e. He was ad- 
 mitted freeman of the colony 10 INIay, 1643; married 23 (12) 
 1643, or, as we should say, 23 Februaiy, 1643-4, Mary, daughter of 
 ruling elder Henry Withington, of Dorchester, born in England, 
 admitted to the church of Dorchester 28(12)1641. He was called 
 "planter" in a deed of land in 1654, wherein he conveyed to Rich- 
 ard French land, house, etc., inherited from his father, Nicholas 
 Danforth. Was appointed recorder of deeds for INIiddlesex county 
 at its organization in 1652, and continued in office till 1686 ; treas- 
 urer of Harvard College from 1650 to 1669, and steward from that 
 date till 1682. Elected deputy or representative to the General 
 Court in 1657, he was chosen "assistant" or magistrate in 1659 and 
 remained in that position until he became deputy governor in 1679. 
 The Andros chapter of Mnssaclmsetts history interrupted his admin- 
 istration, but again in 1689 he was deputy governor, and continued 
 till 1692. IMeantime he had borne important parts in the affixirs 
 of Maine; was appointed president of that district, 4 Feb., 1680, 
 and in " the summer following, attended by 60 soldiers, sailed for 
 Casco Bay and assumed his charge." He was discharged from the 
 office by Dudley and his counselors, IMay 29, 1686. He took a lead- 
 ing part in that very important body, the Commissioners of New 
 England. He also served the town of his residence long years as a 
 selectman and town clerk. He took his seat as one of the judges 
 of the Superior Court* which had to consider the perplexing cases 
 of persons accused of witchcraft, in 1692; "had a chief hand in 
 putting an end to the troubles under which the country groaned ; 
 of the 56 indictments true bills wei'e found against 26, and 3 only 
 were found guilty ; these were liberated by G ov. Sir William 
 Phipps ; and so the delusion came to an end." Gov. Danforth was 
 a man of wealth ; lived on what is now called Eirkland street, 
 Cambridge ; that part of the college grounds formerly known as the 
 
 * In session at Cambridge.

 Foxcroft estate was a portion of his land. He also possessed a tract 
 of ten thousand acres at Framingham, which was first called " Dan- 
 forth's Farms." 
 
 His wife died 26 March, 1697. He died 5 Nov., 1699, leaving 
 a will, an abstract of which is here appended. 
 
 The will of Mr. Thomas Danforth, made 1 Sept., 1699, probated 
 16 Nov., 1699, is on file at Cambridge. He bequeathed his estate 
 to his son-in-law Mr. Joseph Whiteing,'^ pastor of the church at 
 South Hampton on Long Island ; to kinsman Mr. John Danforth, 
 pastor of the church at Dorchester, and his brother Mr. Samuel 
 Danforth, pastor of the church at " Tanton " ; negro man Phillip 
 ffeild to serve Mr. Foxcroft 4 years, and then be "a free man" "and 
 have ten pounds in money and 40 acres of land at Cambridge ffarmes ; 
 at his death, if he leave no lawful issue the land to go toffrancis 
 fFoxcroft ; grand children Thomas Phipps and John Whiteing ; Solo- 
 mon Phipps to provide for his lame sister Mary ; to brother Jona- 
 than Danforth ; to servant Benjamin Bohow ; specifies deeds of gift 
 he intends to make to Daniel and Thomas ffoxcroft ; to the College 
 3 tenements at Framingham ; to the grammar school at Cambridge ; 
 to Dea. James Trowbridge. Grandsons Daniel Champney and 
 Samuel Sparhawke, executors ; friends Capt. Andrew Belcher and 
 Dea. James Trowbridge, overseers. [Original not on file ; copy in 
 Lib. X, p. 7.] 
 
 The Inventory of the Goods etc., of Thomas Danforth, Esquire, 
 late of Cambridge, was taken 14 Nov., 1699, by Maj. Thomas 
 Oliver, John Oldham and Josiali Parker. It appears to be in the 
 handwriting of Francis Foxcroft, who "exhibited" it in court. The 
 household goods were to be divided to the 21 persons who survived 
 him as children and grandchildren ; they are specified by Mr. Fox- 
 croft thus: "Sister Phipps" for herself and her children "Thomas, 
 Jonathan and four daughters ; Mr. Sparhawk for two ; Mr. Champ- 
 ney for three ; Sol Phipps for one ; Sam Phipps for one ; John 
 Whiteing for one; ff. fFoxcroft, six."

 « "William Whiting (H.U., A. B. 1833; A.M. 1854; LL.B. 1838; LL.D. Colby, 1872; 
 president of the N. E. Hist. Genealogical Society 1853-1858, and a member of many- 
 other societies; pi-actised law in Boston. Wrote in 1861 a treatise on War Powers 
 under the Constitution, which passed through forty-three editions in eight years. 
 President Lincoln called him to Washington as an advisor in 1862 ; in 1863 Congress 
 created the office of Solicitor of the War Department, to which Mr. Whiting was at 
 once appointed. Perhaps he did more than any other individual to make clear the 
 great lei^al principles involved in the relations of the federal government with States 
 in rebelfion. He relinquished a very profitable law practice for a long period and de- 
 clined all payment for services rendered the government during the war, content that 
 if his counsel at such a time was of any value, the country should remain his debtor. 
 A splendid example ! He was elected to the forty-third Congress, but died before it met.

 Francis Foxcroft is said, on the authority of , to have 
 
 been son of Daniel Foxcroft, mayor of Leeds, Eng., and born 
 there 13 Nov., 1G57. He came to Cambridge, Mass., before 
 1682, the date of his marriage. He resided in Boston at the 
 time of the birth of his dau. Martha, in 1688, certainly, and 
 was still there at the birth of Samuel in 1700. Meantime he 
 comes into public records only in the way of discharging a 
 mortgage for Charles Lidgett, of Boston, for whom he acted as 
 attorney, 27 Jan., 1692-3. [Suff. Deeds, XI, 326]. After the 
 death of his wife's father he purchased the rights of the other 
 heirs in the Danforth homestead and resided there. He is men- 
 tioned in Proprietors' Records of Cambridge, first in 1704, and 
 thence forward "Col. Francis F'oxcroft," and "Francis Fox- 
 croft, Esquire " occur frequently. He was a man of wealth 
 and energy ; justice of the peace under Andros, and bore heavy 
 obloquy at his fall, being imprisoned as an upholder of a bad 
 ruler. But he was afterward made judge of the Court of Com- 
 mon Pleas and of Probate, and had large influence. "Greatly 
 extolled as a man and Christian."

 Rev. Samuel, second son of Nicholas Danforth, the immigrant, 
 was baptized at Framlingham, Eng., Oct. 17, lii26; came to Cam- 
 bridge with his father in 1632 ; was a member of the second class 
 graduated from Harvard College, that of 1643. According to 
 Cotton Mather (see quotation in the article on his father), he was 
 destined for the ministry in accordance with the expressed desire of 
 his mother, who died when he was but three years old. The same 
 authority gives us the interesting piece of history, that he was brought 
 up under the special care of the Cambridge minister, Rev. Thomas 
 Shepard. He was particularly distinguished for the fervor of his 
 piety, and the purity of his life. He was ordained assistant to the 
 noble "Apostle to the Indians," Rev. John Eliot, of Roxbury, 
 24 Sept., 1650, and continued in office there till his death, 19 Nov., 
 1674. Of his death his venerable senior pastor wrote : " 1674, 12 
 (9) My bro. Danforth dyed in the Lord. It pleased the Lord 
 to brighten his passage to glory. He greatly increased in the 
 power of his ministry, especially the last summer. He cordially 
 joined w'^ me in maintaining the peace of the church. We con- 
 sulted about beautifying the house of God w"' ruling elders, and to 
 order the congregation into the primitive way of Collections." He 
 adds that his funeral was "celebrated w*^^ a great confluence." 
 
 * Beside these children of Thomas* Danforth recorded at Cambridge, mention must 
 be made of two entries at Dorchester. " Mehitophel the Daughter of Thomas Dam- 
 for' Died 18 of (8 mo.) 1663 " ; and " John, son of Thomas Damfort was born in Dor- 
 chester, the 20 of the (8 mo.) 1664." These on investigation prove to be the derk'a 
 careless spellings of Davenport, as baptismal records attest.

 In the regular records of deaths the cause of death is called "putrid 
 
 fever." * 
 
 Mr Danforth was an astronomer, and made almanacs, some of 
 which were extant in the days of the historian Farmer, who says 
 he had seen them. In the church records he made quite a 
 complete journal of notable events which came under his notice ; 
 amono- the items the following attest to his scientific habit : 
 
 " 1652 d^^, lO"*. There appeared a comet in the heaven m 
 Orion, which'continued its course toward the zenith for y« space of 
 a fortnight, till Mr. Cotton's death." "1672.12, 6-. A great 
 echpse of y® sun, w*^'^ at y^ eastward was total and central, inasmuch 
 that y« stars appeared about y** Sun." _ ^1,0.1, 
 
 Rev. Samuel Danforth bought the following tracts of land. 1 he 
 first he purchased from Anthony Stoddard, of Boston, and Chris- 
 tian, his wife, widow of Capt. Joseph Weld, of Roxbury ; it is thus 
 described • " One Messuage or Tennem* Scittuate Lying and being

 The second tract he purchased of Rev. John Allen, pastor of the 
 church of Dedham, and Katherine, his wife, widow of Samuel Hag- 
 bourne, for forty five pounds. " All that part and parcell of Land 
 Lyino- & being within the bounds of Roxberry aforesaid, being part

 He married 5 Nov. 1651, Mary, daughter of Rev. John Wilson, 
 pastor of the First church of Boston, and of his wife Elizabeth, dau. 
 of Sir John Mansfield ; she was born in Boston, 12th and bapt.

 "The last Will & Testament of Samuel Danforth, Pastor of the 
 church of Christ, of lioxbury, aged ab' 48 years," is on file in Bos-

 estate to his wife for her maintenance and the support and educa- 
 tion of his children during their minority ; books to sons John and 
 Samuel, except such as wife owns or may select ; to maid Hannah 
 Dearing and to Sarah Parker ; conditional bequest to brother Mr. 
 John Wilson and kinsman Samuel Danforth, son of brother Thomas ; 
 wife executrix ; Joseph Dudley and Thomas Weld with his two 
 brothers, overseers. "19.4. 74," probated upon the testimony of 
 the witnesses, Thomas Danforth and John Wilson, although not 
 signed " Xber. 24, 1674," i. e., December 24, 1674. 
 
 The widow married second (date not found) Mr. Joseph Rock, 
 of Boston. In a deed of land which had belonged to her father, 
 Rev. John Wilson, dated 3 Oct., 1693, to her son. Rev. John 
 Danforth, of Dorchester, she refers to a "Quadripartite Indenture," 
 between herself, her husband, Mr. Rock, and her sons and daugh- 
 ters, on the subject of lands, etc., the date of which was 20 Nov., 
 1689. [Suff. Deeds, XVI., 251]. She died 13 Sept. 1731.

 1864 (son of the distiucuished pre-Revolutionary patriot, Josiah 
 Quincy, by his wife, Abiijail, daughter of Hon. William and 
 Abigail (Bromfield) Phillips). He was a member of Congress 
 early in the century and a leading advocate in that body and

 the condition of all oppressed and degraded. H. C, 1790. 
 Mayor of Boston, 1823-29. President of Hai-vard University,

 lived in it. His statue in bronze stands in front of tlie City

 Captain Jonathan', youngest son of Mr. Nicholas Danforth, 
 the immigrant, was born in Framlingham, England, baptized March 
 2, 1627-8. As a child he came with his father and brothers and 
 sisters to Cambridge and was there brought up. When he reached 
 manhood the community was stirred with the plans for building up 
 a new town, Billerica, whose lands were chiefly owned by Cam- 
 bridge people. At a very early stage of the movement he seems to 
 have become interested in it, and he gave to the enterprise his best 
 planning and executive ability. The house he built and occupied 
 was extant till 1878. See picture. 
 
 He was selectman, town clerk, representative, captain of the mili- 
 tia company. He became a laud surveyor and laid out farms, 
 towns, highways ; was called to do this service to several other 
 towns and counties ; transacted a large amount of business in town 
 and state. "His descriptions fill 200 pages, in his clear, handsome 
 writing in the Billerica volume of Land Grants." [Hazen]. 
 
 <uP /A ^ ^P e M "aged 82 years" made his will 
 
 ^nmJ^XlJi^^fXlix^imj * 23 April, 1712, signing it in 
 
 definite though trembling let- 
 ters ; it was probated 27 Oct., 1712. In it he bequeathed to his wife 
 Esther and his seven children, giving a double portion, according to 
 the custom of the day, to the eldest son ; something to his grand- 
 children, Mary Parker and Samuel Danforth, who lived with him. 
 Sons Jonathan and Samuel and son-in-law Oliver Whitino;, execu- 
 tors. An agreement was made between his heirs, 1 Jan., 1713, 
 signed by Oliver and Anna Whiting, William and Sarah French, 
 Thomas Danforth, administrator, Mary Parker, Simeon and Elii:a- 
 beth Hay ward, and Edward Wright. A list of the lands he deeded 
 to his children during his life, with a valuation of the same, is in 
 the probate papers. In the inventory of his estate he is called 
 " Captain Jonathan Danforth, Genf"." 
 
 Many of his plots are preserved in the State Archives. 
 
 He married first, in Boston, " 22"'^-9*^ month, 1654," "Elizabeth 
 Powter, the daughter of Good. Powter deceased, of Billerilvey ; " 
 recorded also in Billerica. The bride's father was John Poulter, 
 who came from Kayleigh, Eng., about 1651, with wife Mary and 
 children John and Elizabeth. He died soon ; the widow married 
 second, John Parker of Woburn, and third, on the 16th of April, 
 1674, Thomas Chamberlain of Chelmsford. It has been stated 
 that Elizabeth was born in Eayleigh, 1 Sept., 1633. She died in 
 Billerica, 7 Oct., 1689. Captain Danforth married second, 17 
 Nov., 1690, Esther, dau. of elder Richard Champney of Cambridge, 
 and widow of Josiah Converse of Woburn ; she died soon after her

 husband, viz., 5 April, 1713. His grave is in the old cemetery, 
 Billerica, marked by a slab on which the letters are quite distinct 
 (1901) ; the graves of his two Avives, on either side of his, are 
 marked in like manner. A more suitable memorial will probably 
 soon be erected.

 Ee\^. John^ (Samuel,* Nicholas^), born at Roxbury "8th day, 
 moneth 9, (8 November,) 1660, was bapt. on his thu'd day. Grad. 
 H. C. 1677, and was made a fellow of the college. Was ordained 
 over the church of Dorchester, as colleague to Rev. Josiah Flint, 
 28 June, 1682," and preached on that text 2 Kings. 2.14. "where 
 is y^ Lord God of Elijah." [Dorch. Chh. Reel in that place he 
 spent the rest of his life, performing the full duties of the parish 
 forty-seven years ; and 5 Nov., 1727, he heartily joined with a coun- 
 cil of churches and ministers in ordaining Rev. Jonathan Bowman 
 as a colleague. With his own hand he wrote the reports of meet- 
 ings and ordination, adding : " Sit Gloria Deo in Xto, Nunc, & in 
 scternum." 
 
 He died the following spring, — 26 May, 1730. The church voted 
 that "forty pounds be allowed out of the church stock towards the 
 funeral, . . as also twenty pounds to procure mourning for the sur- 
 viving pastor." 
 
 An obituary notice in the N. E. Journal printed soon after Mr. 
 Danforth's death, says of him : 
 
 " He was one greatly qualified by many bright accomplishments for the 
 evangelical ministry; eminently a man of God, a man of prayer, a close and 
 profitable prencher, of sound principles ; a pattern of all the virtues of the 
 Christian life, and zealous for the cause of God among us ; greatly beloved 
 and valued while living, and now lamented at his death. His memory will 
 alwa_ys be precious to those who have had the honour and jileasure of his 
 acquaintance." 
 
 Mr. Danforth was generous ; in 1691 he voluntarily relinquished 
 to the town 20 pounds due to him on his (small) salary, "con- 
 sidering the frowns of providence upon his people here," i.e. the ex- 
 tremely hard times through which they were passing.

 Blake, the Annalist, Avrote thus : " 1730, May 2G*'S died y^ Revd. 
 Mr. John Danforth, who had been Pastour of this church about 48 
 years ; in y*^ 70'^^ year of his age. He was sd. to be a man of great 
 Learning, he understood y*^ Mathematicks beyond most men of his 
 function. He was exceedingly charitable, & of a very peaceful 
 temper. He took much pains to eternize y® names of many of y^ 
 good Christians of his own Flock ; And yet the world is so ungrate- 
 full, that he has not a line Written to preserve his memory, no, not 
 80 much as upon his Tomb ; he being buried in Lt. Govr. Stough- 
 ton's Tomb that was covered with writing before. And there also 
 lyeth his Consort Mrs. Elizabeth Danforth." Mr. Danforth was 
 married 21 Nov., 1682, at Dorchester, by " the Worshipfull Increase 
 Nowell" to Elizabeth, daughter of James and Hannah (Stoughton) 
 Minot, bapt. 27(10)1663-4; she died 6 July, 1722, "about the 
 59^*^ year of her age." 
 
 Letter of Rev. John Danforth to some Massachusetts friend — ap- 
 parently a student, in England ; printed in the Winthrop Papers, 
 Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll. 5^^ Series, vol. 1, page 447. ; 
 
 Dorchester, June 22, 1698. 
 " Worthy and Dear Sir ; 
 
 . And before I close 
 if it were not too great a piece of arrogance, I could be willing to improve 
 your friendship and privacy in one case that concerns our family only. 
 . . The case is this — We often seal with a single ey humane in a plain 
 field Argent, only there is a Diamond at y® bottom of y® field. Now for 
 my own part I know nothing but priescription and custom to plead for our 
 use of itij/'Tis true that King Charles y*' First twice sent for my Grand- 
 father Danforth, offering him y® bono' of knighthoooHbut he, presenting a 
 considerable sume of money made atonement for his refusal before he left 
 y® nation and came over hither) 
 
 Now if there be any danger in sealing with what we know not certainly 
 is our right we should desire to know it. If any old record recognises [this] 
 to be our right, 'twould also be a satisfaction to be informed ; or if a guinea 
 or 2 might procure a renewed recognition or a new grant. 
 
 As I have communicated this piece of my simplicity to none on this side 
 of the Atlantick, so I have confidence in yo"". secrecy, and that you will 
 pleasure me with yo' prudent information and friendly advice." . . . 
 
 Your hearty friend and servant, 
 
 John Danforth." 
 
 This letter reveals to us these facts : first, that a prominent mem- 
 ber of the Danforth family in Massachusetts was in the habit of 
 sealing part of his documents with a seal which had come to him 
 from other members of the family ;■ "We often seal." Second, that 
 he doubted whether the family had a clear right to use it. Third, 
 
22 DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 that he believed that his grandfather was of such standing in Eng- 
 and as to possess such rilht ; and he refers to the offer of knight- 
 hood as a iroof of such sfanding. Meantime he fears that his use of 
 at may be questioned by authority,-the College of Arms, presuma- 
 bly^ Ind w shes this friend to probe the matter. But he is not above 
 a r adiness to pay a proper fee to the official for a piece of evidence 
 which may he a/ailable here; even standing ready to accept an en- 
 tu-ely " new grant " of crest and arms ; which would cover all points 
 
 of the case. . . . , ^y^ _„„ . 
 
 The lateness of this letter is agamst its value m a heraldic w ay , 
 1698 was a long time after the settlers came hither ; and a grandson 
 is not good authority even to-day about the social standmg of his 
 orandfather, in many instances. This letter is worthy of preserva- 
 gon and its contents may blend with other evidence at sonie future 
 time in establishing the facts about the position of the Danforth 
 family in Framlingham before Nicholas and his children made their 
 way to this shore in 1634. -, „ o . i^to? 
 
 The will of Rev. John Danforth was made 7 Sept. 1727 pro- 
 bated 22 Jan., 1730. Sons Elijah Danforth Esq., and Mr. Sam- 
 uel Danforth executors ; bequests to them and to his daughter Eliza- 
 beth, present wife of Mr. Wm. Lowder, and her son John Loader ; 
 to her husband Capt. William L. ; to sons John and Stoughton D 
 and their several heirs; to grand daughter Elizabeth, daughter ot 
 his late son Capt. Thomas Danforth an obligation which her lather 
 entered into to pay a certain sum of money ; " The rest of my Estate 
 (Except my lands in England which belong by Entaile from my 
 Grandfather Danforth to my Eldest Son) . . to be Divided to my 
 heirs." Before the final settlement of the estate John had died. 
 So, 4 Dec, 1733, the executors craved allowance, among other 
 items " for the heirs of their brother John Danforth, Deed., and for 
 the like sum for the Heirs of their brother Tho : Danforth, Deced. 
 due to them from the Estate, being Legacies given them by the 
 Last Will and Testament of their uncle the Hon'^^'^ ^y^ Stoughton, 
 Esq^ Deed." In the division of the real estate after the death of

80 DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 Jonathan Danfortli was keeper of a country store in Hardwick, and 
 incurred public displeasure by dealing in tea when it was contraband, in 
 1776. He was a Tory, and many stories are told of his contumacy, de- 
 nouncing the cause of the people, and obstructing their efforts. He was 
 confined in "Worcester jail, and subsequently in his own house, being for- 
 bidden to leave it, except to go to church or to attend funerals. When he 
 brought suit against magistrates for thus confining him, they applied to the 
 General Court, which ordered the writs to be discharged. Being a con- 
 stable, he refused to give up monies in his hands to the order of the Pro- 
 vincial Congress. The patriotic people rose en masse, and would have 
 lynched him, but that Thomas Robinson, one of the town committee, seized 
 and thrust him into the pound, and being a powerful man kept the people 
 at bay, and finally conducted him to a place of safety. 
 
 He continued for a half century after the war a citizen of the town, and 
 won respect and good will, serving as selectman, assessor and collector of 
 taxes. In 1831, when he was 88 years old. Col. Stephen Rice, a member 
 of the Revolutionary Committee, died at the age of 95. Soon after, to his 
 pastor, Mr. Coldsbury, he recounted some of his early trials, and added: 
 •' One day, when attending a funeral, I told one of the Committee that I 
 liked to go to funerals, and hoped to live to attend the funerals of the whole 
 Committee; and I've done it; I've seen every divil of them under ground. 
 Rice was the last of them." 
 
 His second wife, Anna Ruggles, was daughter of Joseph, a prominent 
 loyalist, and was niece of Brigadier Timothy Ruggles, who had previously 
 been a useful and much respected citizen, but now, by accepting the ap- 
 pointment under the crown of IMaudamus Councillor, forfeited his position, 
 and was obliged to flee the country, never to return. 
 
 After his second marriage he resided half a mile south of the Common, 
 at the homestead of his father.

 The Microcosm. Though previously of the old Federal party he 
 advocated the election of Jackson to the presidency, and thenceforth

 Joseph W. Cross now writes of him, after an interval of more than 
 seventy years : " He was a wise, just and good man, a valuable citi-

 Asa® {TJiomas,^ Samuel,* Jonathan,'^ Jonathan,^ Nicholas^), 
 born in Dunstable, Mass., 25 July, 1746 ; died at Onondaga Hol- 
 low, N. Y., in 1837 ; married about 1767, Hannah Wheeler, born 
 in Lenox about 1749, died in Sept., 1837. At the opening of the 
 
126 DANFOETH GENEALOGY. 
 
 war of the Revolution he entered the service,* " being engaged at 
 the battle of Bunker Hill, in which his father, brother and kinsmen 
 to the number of thirteen were also serving" ; "was captain of a 
 company at the battle of Saratoga and at the surrender of Burgoyne," 
 and "Major in the 4th Mass. regiment." He received a pension of 
 $240 per annum 1818-1830. 
 
 He resided several years at Brookfield, Mass., and there several 
 of his children were born. He removed to Mayfield, N. Y., and 
 cultivated a farm. Hearing from a stranger by the name of Web- 
 ster who spent the night at his house that there were much richer 
 lands to be found in the Onondaga valley, he resolved. to go there. 
 Having assured himself that the Indians in that section would be 
 friendly, he embarked his family and goods in flat-boats, and made 
 the journey in May, 1788, by the Mohawk river and lakes Oneida 
 and Onondaga valley, making his home where Onondaga Hollow 
 settlement afterwards grew up. He was thus really the first settler 
 of the region. With great energy he faced the problems of the new 
 country. In 1791 he built a sawmill on Butternut Creek (now De- 
 Witt township) ; he brought the saw on his shoulders from Fort 
 Schuyler (now Rome), and other parts and materials were brought 
 by Indians and other men from Utica. The first boards used in the 
 county were sawed there. He was a benevolent, hospitable man, 
 sagacious as an adviser, highly regarded by the community. He was 
 Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, the first session of which was 
 held in his barn ; for one term he was a senator in the state Assem- 
 bly ; he was superintendent of the salt springs, etc. He took great 
 interest in the organization of the State Militia, and was made ISIajor 
 General of the same in course of time. 
 
 Mrs. Danforth is remembered as a woman of great benevolence 
 and kindliness ; like her husband she was of attractive appearance and 
 both had many admiring friends.

 the asylum, but with only partial recovery. He was ever afterward 
 a peculiar person, never altogether sane. Became, on this account, 
 a notable person in the community.

 Charles^ {Thomas,^ Samuel^^ Samuel,* Samuel,^ 8amuel,^

 N. J., 22 March, 1876; married 18 Oct., 1823, Mary, daughter of 
 Thomas and Sarah Willett, of Matteawan, N. Y., born 6 July, 
 1801, died 27 April, 1888. 
 
 From boyhood he showed a decided inclination to mechanical 
 observations and pursuits. In 1811 he worked in a cotton mill a 
 while; at sixteen or seventeen he joined the army as a substitute, 
 afterward serving a term on his own account. He went on several 
 voyages as a sailor ; then taught school in the neighborhood of 
 Rochester, N. Y. ; after that he located at Matteawan, where lie 
 acted as foreman in a cotton factory. In 1825 he removed to 
 Sloatsburg, and did work as a carder, a setter-up of machinery and 
 so on. He now invented an important improvement in spinning 
 frames, known as "the Danforth frame " or cap spinner, which came 
 into use very widely in cotton factories. He joined forces with his

 brother, George Danforth, of Taunton, Mass., who had invented 
 the "Counter Twist Speeder." Going to Paterson, N. J., he 
 arranged with Goodwin, Rogers and Clarke to manufacture his in- 
 vention. He went to Europe to introduce his work in 1829, re- 
 turning in 1831. Taking a leading place in the firm, he passed 
 from one stage to another in the business of cotton manufacture and 
 machine tool making, till the Danforth Locomotive and Machine 
 Company was evolved, with its vast achievements and successes. He 
 retired from active business in 1871 ; he had acquired a great for- 
 tune and a good name. " He was concerned in politics only to see 
 wise measures advanced and bad counsels overthrown, never to make 
 money for himself or for other low ends." He was an attendant at 
 the Presbyterian church and a helper of good causes. He scorned 
 corruption and practised strict integrity. He died respected and 
 honored.

 few years later ; no issue. 
 
 George W. Danforth came to Illinois soon after his brother Asa, 
 probably in 1838. The two brothers started the manufacture of 
 furniture at Washington, 111., soon after their arrival. The first 
 turning lathe used in their business was propelled by dog power. 
 A general store was soon thereafter started in connection with their 
 furniture factory. Merchandise was then traded for the products of 
 the farmer, and wheat and hogs were the principal articles of the 
 farmer's productions. To convert these articles into money, or such 
 commodities as the people needed, they were hauled by teams to the 
 Illinois River, a distance of 12 miles, and shipped by boat to St. 
 Louis and New Orleans. There were a few flouring mills then in 
 those parts, run mostly by water power, but they had all been finan- 
 cially disastrous to their owners. But these men thought a better

 mill, better managed, would enable them to manufacture flour at a 
 profit, and be better than shipping the wheat, so they set about it 
 and built the mill, then the largest in Central Illinois, and for sev- 
 eral years, and until they retired from active mercantile pursuits, 
 their milling enterprise was successful. 
 
 The partnership of the two brothers continued for 35 years, no 
 books of account having been kept between them. 
 
 George W. was married about the year 1870 at the age of 64 
 years, to Mrs. Anna McCormick. He died a few years later, in 
 Iroquois County, 111., leaving no issue. His wife survived him 
 some years. 
 
 George W. Danforth was a man of medium height, very active 
 and energetic in his movements. He was of genial disposition, fond 
 of his friends, and always ready to discuss questions of ethics, poli- 
 tics or religion. He was a democrat in his politics, and in religion 
 identified with the Universalist church. 
 
 He was public spirited, and gave liberally and freely towards the 
 building of schools, churches and railroads. In an early day he 
 was a captain of militia, and from that time on he was known as 
 Captain Danforth. He, with his brother Asa, became largely inter- 
 ested in swamp lands in Eastern and Central Illinois, from 1855 to 
 1870, and he foresaw what few others at that time did, that these 
 lands would be the most valuable of any in Illinois, if only they 
 could be drained, and he believed they could be. He devised the 
 first and most effective ditching machine known at that time — a 
 machine that was drawn by oxen and a capstan — and while later 
 this was superceded by dredging machines, yet thousands of acres 
 of prairie inhabited by water fowl and beaver, and like animals, 
 were made to produce rich harvests of grain by the use of his in- 
 vention. He seemed inspired with a desire to make waste places 
 productive, and to plant trees and build houses — all for those to 
 come after, and not for himself, because he required little for his 
 personal use, his tastes being exceedingly simple and his personal 
 requirements few. He was a far seeing, sagacious man, simple in 
 habit, modest, upright, always doing something that was good to 
 have done, beloved by all who knew him. He founded the town of 
 Danforth, 111.

 and soon after to Coshocton, O., where they engaged in the manu- 
 facture of Fan mills for the farmers. He travelled on foot to Pe- 
 oria, 111., a distance of 400 miles or more; George joined him, and 
 they were prominent in the building up of the town of Washington, 
 near by. [See previous article]. He established a banking house 
 at Washington, which has been continued by his sons.

 Israel^ (Z)av^fZ,' Jonathan,^ Jonathan,* Jonathan,^ Jonathan*

 Norridgewock, Me., 14 Aug., 1855; married 16 Jan., 1806, 
 Sarah, daughter of David and Abigail (Brigham) Waite, born in 
 Marlboro', Mass., 4 Feb., 1782; died at Norridgewock, 2 Jan., 
 1866. He was a saddler and tavern keeper. Removed from Wash- 
 ington, N. H., to Norridgewock, Me., in 1803. 
 
 His wife, Sally Waite, had resided in Groton, and went thence to 
 Norridgewock at the age of 18, accompanying a family of the name 
 of Loring. The long journey was made on horseback, the women 
 and children seated on pillions behind the men. Much of the way 
 was by bridle paths where there were no roads. They carried their 
 provisions and encamped at night, or found shelter in the log cabin 
 of a solitary settler. They settled first at Solon on the Kennebec, 
 but soon went back to Norridgewock. Here the young Sally, with 
 characteristic energy, supported herself by housework, spinning and 
 teaching school. For the marriage, in 1806, the bridal trousseau 
 was spun and woven by the bride's own hands from flax raised in the 
 neighborhood. Fine linen undergarments, the products of her skill, 
 are still preserved in the family, and the diapered tablecloths still in 
 use. The young couple built for themselves a house, and in 1814 
 opened a hotel which for 60. years was famed far and wide for its 
 tidy rooms, its good beds, and its neat and wholesome cookery. 
 Many a tired traveler has lengthened his day's ride to reach that de- 
 sirable place of rest. Of the eleven children ten reached mature 
 age. Industry and economy were habitual, and books and schools 
 were considered of first importance. It is told of one of the daugh- 
 ters that she was once (probably often) seen stirring with one hand 
 the roasting coffee, and the other holding an open scientific book, 
 while the baby sat contented in her lap. Home-made garments, 
 stockings, blankets, carpets, were produced without shoddy from 
 wool raised on the premises. Integrity and uprightness were taught 
 by precept and example, and prosperity and the respect of the com- 
 munity followed as a natural result.

 as being " liberal to poor patients." Many anecdotes are given of 
 his promptness and energy in relief of suffering. One stormy night, 
 when the physician whose duty it was had refused to go out, he 
 harnessed his horse to his slei^^h and drove throuajh ffatherino- drifts 
 till his horse could go no further ; then housed the animal in a far- 
 mer's barn, happily near, and himself worked his way through the 
 drifts till, almost exhausted, he reached the patient's door.

 Of jNIi-s. 'NMiite, a loving hand writes : " She was 
 born at Syracuse, New York, on the 10th of Feb., 
 1836. From her father she inherited the quiet, steady 
 qualities of the emigrants of Holland, who made their 
 homes along the Hudson River ; the quickness and 
 precision and love of books which he had developed 
 in college and in the profession of the law she also 
 
DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 223 
 
 inherited. From her mother came evenness of temper 
 and loveliness of spirit. 
 
 Her mother's father, Colonel Phillips, was well 
 known as one of the most energetic men of affairs, 
 in Central New York during the first half of this cen- 
 tury ; her mother's mother Amanda Danforth, was the 
 first white child born in the County of Onondaga, 
 which then embraced the whole central region of the 
 State of New York, and though her life was passed 
 amid perils and privations and ended early, she is still 
 held in loving remembrance for her sweetness of dis- 
 position and her nobility of character. Her mother's 
 grandfather, Asa Danforth, was a pioneer in the same 
 region, well known at the close of the last century for 
 his courage and integrity.''

 Served an apprenticeship at carpenter's trade in Barnard, but 
 before attaining majority, with knapsack and staff walked thence to 
 New York City, where he worked a few months, and then proceeded 
 on foot, by way of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, to Ohio. Averaging 
 30 miles a day, in less than a month he reached the house of his 
 uncle, Robert Southgate, in Peru, Ohio, in the autumn of 1824. 
 Here he worked at his trade, and after two years returned to 
 Vermont, intending to take his widowed mother and her family to 
 Ohio for their future home. But his sister Euphemia soon after 
 died, and a month later his mother also died, and in the autumn of 
 1827 he returned alone to Ohio. In Jan. 1828, he married. He 
 continued successfully the builder's useful labors. He could point 
 to a hundred buildings in and near the flourishing town of Peru as 
 evidences of his skill and industry. 
 
 On the 2 2d day of January, 1878, the venerable couple celebrated 
 their golden wedding at the place where fifty years before their 
 wedded life began. Their eldest grandchild was married on the 
 same occasion, the aged couple acting as bridesman and bridesmaid 
 to the youthful pair.

 Plymouth, teaching slaves who had been given their freedom. He 
 was a member of the First Church (Unitarian) of Plymouth, and 
 throughout his life, which Avas a beautiful lesson to younger people, 
 his benevolence and kindness to others and liis many sterling qualities 
 of character had endeared him to the whole community. \_Local

 June, 1833; died at Buffalo, N. Y., 7 Sept. 1897; married 15 
 Sept. 1859, Grace Long, daughter of Daniel and Elida Yates 
 (Long) Francis, born in Buffalo, 11 Jan. 1836. He went to 
 Buffalo in 1854 and entered the establishment of Pratt & Co., of

 one of the directors of the Bank of Attica from 1879 till 1895, when 
 he was elected president. Was president of the Buffalo Creek R. 
 R. Co., and of The Union Terminal Co. He had large navigation 
 interests. For many years he was chau'man of the trustees of the 
 North Presbyterian church, to which, as to other benevolencies, he 
 gave freely. 
 
 We are permitted to make extracts from a letter written by his 
 pastor. Rev. Wm. S. Hubbell, to his former employer and later 
 associate, Mr. Pratt : 
 
 " I well remember that soon after my coming to Buffalo you said 
 to me, ' If you want any good advice about church matters or to 
 know anything about people or measures in the North church, go to 
 Danforth.' That was exactly true of him, and I put your advice in 
 practice for fifteen years ; ... he was always ready to give his 
 time, his money, his effort and his heart's affection. He had unusual 
 capacity for the giving of sympathy and cheer. He was full of tact, 
 knowing when to speak and when to refrain ; had a vocabulary of 
 well-chosen words and a very kind and gracious Avay of speaking. 
 Besides, he abounded in good spirits and could be a delightful com- 
 panion, a splendid person to travel with. Furthermore he was not 
 ashamed of his religion or of putting it in practice wherever he was." 
 
 It has been said of him, "Few have possessed in greater degree 
 the qualities which tend to make life successful and friends steadfast."

 "Judge Danforth was a simple man, who dwelt with substance, 
 and had no care for show. He loved most things that were simple, 
 nature and his God, and he ever lived close to both. He was solid 
 rather than brilliant ; relied less upon intuition than upon industry ; 
 was a tireless, conscientious worker ; had a strong grasp of legal 
 principles ; built up his opinion with great blocks from the common 
 law. He loved equity, and hated injustice." [Mr. Baker, in The 
 Green Bag, 1896.] He was tall, erect, and of a fine address. He 
 died at his home in Gardiner, March 30, 1890.

 George Franklin* {Isaac,'' David,^ Jonathan,^ Jonathan,*

 " Ex-Judge George F. Danforth of Rochester, N. Y., at one time 
 on the New York State Court of Appeals bench, dropped dead in 
 court today. He had just argued a case and taken his seat when 
 stricken with apoplexy, he expired two minutes later in an adjoin- 
 ing room. He was graduated at Union College in 1840, and 
 after studying law began practice in Rochester, N. Y., where he was 
 eminently successful, and soon rose to the front rank of the profes- 
 sion. In 1876 he was the Republican candidate for judge of the 
 Court of Appeals of the State of New York, but was defeated by 
 Robert Earl. Two years later he was again nominated for a similar 
 office, and after being elected took his seat on the bench Jan. 1, 
 1879. Except during the period from Jan. 1, 1879 to 1890, in 
 which he was an associate judge of tlie New York Court of Appeals, 
 his practice had been uninterrupted. He retired from the bench 
 Jan. 1, 1890, on reaching the constitutional limit of age, and re- 
 sumed law practice. He was president of the commission to revise 
 the Judiciary, Judge Danforth was a Republican, and was a mem- 
 ber of the judiciary commission of 1892, but hadheld no other office." 
 [Rochester Democrat, Sept. 26, 1892.] Many testimonials to his 
 *' great judicial ability " ; " talent for hard work " ; " profound know- 
 ledge of the law " ; " the accuracy of expression and clearness of 
 thought " displayed in his pleadings, are given in this paper, and 
 tributes to his attractive and estimable character.

 Fitch Huntington, b. in Schoharie co. in 1845 ; d. at Rochester, 
 25 June, 1900. He was for a number of years connected with 
 W. B. Raymond in a jirivate banking business and was at the 
 same time engaged in real estate transactions. Upon the dis- 
 solution of his partnership with Mr. Raymond, Mr. Huntington, 
 with others, orgaiuzed the Commercial Bank, and from the time 
 of its institution until April, 18!)0, was its cashier. Since that 
 time he had held an important ])osition in the sales department 
 of the Vacuum OU Company- While always active in business 
 he gave a great deal of attention to the establishment and im- 
 provement of the city park system ; and it is generally admitted 
 that he did as much toward bringing tlie parks to their present 
 state of completeness and popularity as any single resident of 
 the city, Dr. Moore excepted. He was one of the original mem- 
 
DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 287 
 
 bers of the board of park commissioners, was from the organi- 
 zation of the board the chairman of the Genesee Valley park 
 committee, and was for many years a member of the police and 
 employment committee of the board, and, for a number of years, 
 its treasurer. He was quick to comprehend a thing, and equally 
 ready in his decisions ; a trait which made him a valuable com- 
 missioner and brought success to many undertakings initiated 
 through his recommendation. 
 
 His death resulted from apoplexy, the first attack of which 
 he suffered at Atlantic City, and which for a time deprived him 
 of the use of his voice. He had been in ill health ever since 
 returning home. [Local journal.]

 1812 ; died in Nashua 19 Oct. 1893 ; married 15 Sept. 1840, Nancy 
 H. Pierce of Nashua, born 8 June, 1817. In 1813 his parents 
 removed to Amherst ; he lived on a farm until 15 years of age, and 
 then began to work with his father in the manufacture of whips. 
 In 1836 established in that business in Nashua and so continued 
 until 1839, when he became owner and editor of the Nashua Ga- 
 zette ; during his management its influence and circulation was 
 greatly increased. In 1845 was appointed postmaster of Nashua. 
 In 1849 he joined with Dane and Parker in the tailoring business. 
 In 1855 was appointed High Sheriff of Hillsboro co. ; in 1865 be- 
 gan the manufacture of suspenders, doing an extensive and success- 
 ful business. He was an influential member of the Democratic 
 party until 1855, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise 
 caused him to join the Republican party, in which he continued an 
 ardent and efficient member until his death. 
 
 During more than 53 years a constant attendant at the Univer- 
 salist church, he was superintendent of its Sunday School from 1836 
 to 1851. He served in the city as an alderman, and was a member 
 of the State Legislature in 1874-1875. In later years he contrib- 
 uted to a local journal an extremely interesting scries of articles, 
 entitled "Sixty-Six Years Political and Personal Reminiscences." 
 
 He was the first president of the Danforth Family Association 
 and ably conducted its first three meetings. At the fourth meeting 
 (Boston, 1882) he declined re-election, i-eceiving a unanimous vote 
 of thanks for his long-continued, valuable services. His death, 
 which occurred in Nashua in Oct. 1893, was felt as a serious loss to 
 his family, to the Association, and to the community in which he 
 lived. 
 
 Mrs. Danforth was a near relative of President Franklin Pierce.

 bringing before hie readei*s the theoz'ies and practices of ancient prac- 
 titioners, such as Dr. Samuel Fuller of the jNIayflower company and 
 Rev. Dr. John Wesley, founder of the Methodist branch of the 
 Church. Dr. Danforth has been a most congenial friend and patron 
 of the movement for this Danforth Genealogy. He married first, 9 
 June, 1869, Elizabeth Skelton, daughter of Eev. John and Esther 
 (Drake) Skelton, of Halifax, Yorkshire, and Chicago. 
 
 "She was born in South Ouram, Eng., 30 April, 1843. When 
 a girl of twelve years she came to the United States and removed to 
 Chicago. In this city she attended the public schools and grad. 
 from the high school at the age of 17. After her gi-aduation she 
 spent nine years as a teacher in the Brown school. 
 
 During the year in which she came to Chicago she united with 
 the Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church, and her devotion to the 
 work of the church was unceasing. For 25 years she sang regularly 
 in the choir. The work of the AVoman's Foreign ]Missionary So- 
 ciety occupied her attention more than any other department of 
 charity, and in connection Avith this society slie became one of the 
 most prominent women of the city. For a number of years she held 
 the position of vice president of tlie northwestern branch of the or- 
 ganization. During these years most of the work of the president 
 fell to her, as the president was compelled to go to Washington. 
 Mrs. Danforth was, therefore, virtually at the head of the greater 
 portion of the foreign missionary work of the Methodist church, es- 
 pecially of its medical work. 
 
 In connection with the Wesley Hospital, Mrs. Danforth also ac- 
 complished much good. She was the prime mover in the organiza- 
 tion of the Ladies' Hospital Association. She was a member of the 
 Woman's Club and the Woman's West End Club. She delivered 
 frequent addresses before Methodist assemblies of women, both in the 
 east and in the west." (From (liicago Evening Post, Aug. 2, '95.) 
 
 The "Ehzabeth Skelton Danforth Memorial Hospital" at Kiu- 
 kiang, China, to whose erection and endowment near relatives con- 
 tributed largely, has been established by the Methodist Foreign 
 Missionary Society, and will keep her personality before thousands 
 in coming years, carrying out some of her favorite purposes for the 
 benefit of others. 
 
 He married second, 7 Jan. 1898, Mrs. Mary A. (]McPherson) 
 Barnes, widow of Dr. Xorman S. Barnes, who died thirteen years 
 before, after a number of years in the practice of medicine in 
 Chicago.

332 DANFOKTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 " Away up in the 10th district, where in years gone by Democrats 
 have been few, but to the sorrow of the Repubhcans are now more 
 numerous, they selected Hon. L. F. Danforth as candidate for Presi- 
 dential Elector. He was born in Pomfret, Vt., in 1843 ; was edu- 
 cated in district schools and two terms in South Woodstock Aca- 
 demy. In the war for the Union he served in the 4th Regt. Vt. In- 
 fantry ; came to Iowa in 1846 ; taught school several years and then 
 went into mercantile business in which he continues. In 1873 was 
 member of the General Assembly and has served more than ten years 
 as chairman of the democratic county convention and much of the 
 change in favor of democracy that has taken place in his vicinity is 
 due to his untiring efforts."

 Elliot® {Peter Swart,^ George,'' Jonathan,^ Thomas,^ Sam-

 married first, 17 Dec. 1874, Ida Prince, only child of Dr. Gervis 
 Prince, president of the First National Bank of Bainbridge ; she 
 died 5 Nov. 1895. He married second, Nov. 30, 1898, Mrs. 
 Richard Mott Laimbeer, only daughter of James and Mary (Nes- 
 bitt) Black. 
 
 After receiving a liberal education he commenced the study of 
 law in the office of his father, and was admitted to the bar in Janu- 
 ary, 1872. Removing to the village of Bainbridge, N. Y., in the 
 summer of 1878, he formed a law partnership with the Hon. 
 George H. Winsor. He was chosen a member of the committee 
 on prizes of the New York State Bar Association, and for three 
 years held the office of president of the village of Bainbridge, and 
 one of the directors of the First National Bank, subsequently be- 
 coming its president. For nine years he was a member of the 
 school board of his village. Mr. Danforth now entered into the 
 broad field of politics. From the first his affiliations were with 
 the Democratic party, and he came before the people as a represen- 
 tative of the young Democracy of the Jacksonian school. In 1880 he 
 was a delegate to the national Democratic convention at Cincinnati, 
 
352 DANTOETH GENEALOGY. 
 
 and in 1884 to the Democratic national convention at Chicago. 
 Soon after the election of the Hon. Lawrence J. Fitzgerald as 
 state treasurer, in 1885, Mr. Danforth was appointed deputy state 
 treasurer, and Avas re-appointed deputy for the term of two years. 
 On the first of October, 1889, he was unanimously nominated by 
 the Democratic convention at Syracuse for state treasurer, and was 
 elected to that office, receiving a plurality of 16,000 over Gen. Ira 
 M. Hedges. He was re-elected in 1891, over the same competitor, 
 by a plurality of nearly 50,000. In 1892 he was a delegate 
 to the Democratic national convention licld at Chicago, and strongly 
 advocated the nomination of Senator Hill for president. In 1894 
 Mr. Danforth opened law offices in the Home Life Building in New 
 York City, and has been very successful in his practice. In 1896 
 he was a delegate to the Democratic national convention ; and at 
 the Buffiilo convention Mr. Danforth was elected chairman of the 
 Democratic state committee, and conducted the fight in this state 
 for the nominees of the Chicago convention. In 1897, holding the 
 same position, he carried through the campaign which resulted in 
 the election of Alton B. Parker to the office of chief judge of the 
 Court of Appeals by a plurality of 67,000. In 1898 he was nomi- 
 nated for the office of lieut. governor, and ran 10,000 votes ahead 
 of the ticket. In 1899 he was chairman of the executive committee 
 of the state committee ; and in 1900 was a delegate to the memorable 
 National Convention of the Democratic party at Kansas City. 
 
 Mr. Danforth is a member of the Society of American Authors, 
 and many of his literary addresses have been published, including 
 the following : " The Indians of New York," " Old Schoharie," 
 and " Maraaroneck."

 " By the death of Mr. Charles B. Danforth, the Herald loses one of the 
 oldest and most trusty members of its staff. The mere statement that he 
 held the office of city editor on this paper for twenty-five years is sufficient 
 proof of his capacity and fidelity."

SECOND PART. 
 
 WILLIAM DANFORTH, 
 
 AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 
 
1. WILLIAM DANFOETH,^ OF IPSWICH AND 
 
 I^EWBUKY. 
 
 At Ipswich, in the year 1660, there was living a young man 
 commonly called " William Danford." How long he had resided 
 there we cannot learn. He was at that time in the employ of Wil- 
 liam Pritchett. His name got into public records (now filed in 
 Essex County Court, Salem) by his accompanying another young 
 fellow, Daniel Black, to the neighboring town of Rowley, " the last 
 day of June, 1660," and carrying a message from Black to a 
 daughter of Edmund Bridges. The girl came to a neighbor's house, 
 where Black tried to persuade her to become his wife, or, as the 
 father phrased it, " made love to her." The General Court had 
 passed stringent laws to cover such cases ; so Mr. Bridges prose- 
 cuted the bold suitor for seeking his dauo-hter's hand without his 
 permission ; and the magistrates compelled Black to pay a fine of 
 five pounds for his conduct. William had to pay one of ten shill- 
 ings for helping on the rash suitor ! He was, however, in Court in 
 a pleasanter way 29 Sept. 1663, giving testimony on behalf of Mr. 
 Pritchett in a land case ; and at that time he deposed that his age 
 was " 22 years," making his birth fall about the year 1640. Again, 
 in 1670, his testimony as a good witness was given. 
 
 Not far from 1675 he removed to that odd corner village, Byfield, 
 where Newbury (in which his home lay), Rowley, and Bradford 
 shook hands, so to speak ; and the rest of his life and those of sev- 
 eral of his children seem to have been passed within hailing distance 
 of Byfield meeting-house ; so that the family is properly termed 
 "The Newbury Family." 
 
 Jan. 9, 1675, he received 2 shillings and six pence from the town 
 of Newbury for killing a wolf. 
 
368 DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 William Danford, with Edmund Dear and Philip AVelch, peti- 
 tioned Essex County Court in June, 1678, to have possession of 
 certain money left by William Dorton in the hands of John Ring 
 (Rindge) ; they claimed that Dorton "willed that if he came not to 
 Ipswich in tlie space of three years, the money should be given to 
 four of his countrymen," namely, the three petitioners and Ring. 
 Edward Allan, Killcrist Ross, Edward Xeiland, and Elizabeth 
 Deare gave testimony in the case ; and the Court adjudged the 
 money to the four. 
 
 He took the oath of allegiance along with other Newbury men in 
 1678. [Essex files, XXX, 567.] 
 
 In some way he was a " partner " of William Longfellow, ances- 
 tor of the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ; at least, they were 
 both called to Court in March, 1681, for slaughtering an " oxe " and 
 some " piggs " which were claimed by Joseph Plumer and " Robin 
 Robinson the Scotchman " ; and the Court compelled Longfellow 
 and Danford to pay the value of the animals to Plumer and the 
 Scotchman. [Essex Court files, VI, 26 ; IX, 29 ; XI, 82 ; XV, 
 105 ; and Records.] We find no later mention of our man in town 
 records, beyond the entries of births of children except the abate- 
 ment of his tax for the year 1688 ; and in that entry Daniel Cheney, 
 the constable, wrote his name "William Danforth." 
 
 William married first, in Ipswich, March 20, 1670, Hannah, 
 daughter of the pioneer Robert Kingsman, or Kinsman* ; she was 
 born in Ipswich, about 1644; was remembered in her father's will 
 in 1664 with a legacy of forty pounds; she died in Xewbury Oct. 
 18, 1678. 
 
 He married second (place and time not known) Sarah, daughter 
 of Francis and Ann Thurloe,f who deeded them land Jan. 1, 1696, 
 
 * " Robert Kinsman of Ipswich " made his will 25th of Jan. 1664, bequeathing his 
 " meddow Land at Chebacho " to his son Robert, he paying to " Isaack and Sarah 
 Ringe the children of my daughter Mary tenn pounds apeecc when they come to age " ; 
 to " my daughter Mary the wife of Usuall Wardcll ten pounds and to her foure elder 
 children Twenty shillings apeecc viz. Daniel, Roger, Mary and Susan Ringe ; to 
 daughter Sarah, wife of Samuel Younglove; my four acre lott " ; to daughter Hannah 
 forty pounds; to daughter Martha, wife of Jacob Foster, 30 pounds; to daughter Ta- 
 bitha, Kinsman, dwelling-house and appurtanances; to "cousin Richard Nicolls ten 
 pounds " ; to daughter Foster's child, a heifer : Son Robert Kinsman and Robert Lord

 Probated 28 March, 1665. 
 
 t Richard Thorla (Thorlo, Thurlc}', Thurloe, Thurlow), planter, settled first in 
 Rowley, and owned land about 1640; removed to Newbury where he lived to the close 
 of his life. He built a bridge at his own cost over Newbury river, and the General 
 Court fixed the toll for animals 3 May, 1654. He gave part of his farm 27 Jan. 1669, 
 to his son Thomas, which was to pass to his son Francis in case of Thomas' death. 
 His wife, Jane, joined in the deed. The son Francis, was a capable citizen ; was ad- 
 mitted " freeman " (*. e., voter and oflicc holder, etc.) of the Colony, 11 May, 1C70. 
 Married Feb. 5, 1665, Ann, daughter of Anthony Morse, who came in the ship James, 
 April 5, 1635, from Marlborough, England. 
 
DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 369 
 
 which Francis had received from his father Richard. "William 
 Danforth, planter," and his wife Sarah, sold land in Newbury July 
 15, 1679 ; and in 1698 they sold the tract which her father had 
 given them. The deeds give particulars of relationship and history 
 of transfers. He sold land that had been granted to him by the 
 proprietors 15 July, 1709 ; sold a wood lot 27 March, 1721. 
 
 He died after that date, but we do not find the record of either 
 his death or that of his second wife. 
 
 Whence came this man ? In what town did he open liis eyes in 
 that year to which his own testimony points us as the period of his 
 birth — 1640? Was he "Irish" as the constable's writ called him 
 in 1660, or was that a mere guess, because Mr. Symonds and other 
 Ipswich people had Irish servants, and any young workman not 
 connected with town families might naturally be associated with 
 them ? The names of his " countrymen " mentioned in the probate 
 records do not clear up the mystery. 
 
 "Danford," (Danforth), is definitely an English name ; perhaps 
 the boy's parents had gone across the channel in a former gener- 
 ation ; or he might have spent a few years in the North of Ireland 
 and come to America in a vessel which brought passengers from 
 both islands. His marriages here, and the names of his children, 
 seem to indicate that he was English ; but there appears to be no 
 means now by which his origin can positively be learned. 
 
 It will be noticed that " Danford " was a common spelling of the 
 name, Danforth in Framlingham, the birth-place and early home 
 of Niciiolas, the Cambridge pioneer, as well as in Devon and other 
 counties of England. " William," too, was a Christian name well 
 known in that clan from the fifteenth century. [See pages 1-3.] 
 So it is not at all unlikely that this youth who came to Ipswich and 
 settled afterward at Newbury was a kinsman of the older man, 
 Nicholas Danforth, of Cambridge, whose descendants have been the 
 more numerous. The Cambridge and Newbury Danforth families 
 may both be branches from the one ancient East Anglian stock.

 Richard* ( William^), horn in Xew^biiry 31 Jan. 1679 or 1680; 
 married there June 30, 1702, Mary White. No other particulars 
 of this couple have been found. Kemoval to some distant region or 
 the early death of Richard would seem to be the only explanation 
 of the entire absence of their names from the documents in Avhich we 
 find references to the other children of William of Newbury.

 JoHN^ ( William^), born in NeAvbury Dec. 8, 1681 ; died Oct. 
 1, 1772, "in his 93d year; he had been very helpless for a year 
 past " ; married first, wife unknowm ; married second (published Nov. 
 4, 1713), Nov. 24, 1713, Dorcas White. She was a member of the 
 Byfield church in 1744 ; she died March 26, 1788, "aged 90 or 91." 
 
 He seems to have spent most or all of his life in Newbury, near 
 the Byfield meeting-house, where part of his children were baptized 
 (perhaps all, but not all recorded). The following deed supplies 
 information as to the children who were living at a particular date. 
 
 " Nathaniel Danford of Contoocook, husbandman ; John Danford, 
 Jr., of Newbury, Mass., housewright ; William Danford of Contoo-

 Jonathan^ ( William^), born in Newbury May 18, 1685; was 
 living at the time of his brother Thomas' death in 1723-4. 
 
 It may be that he is the Jonathan Danford who became an early 
 settler at Pennecook, N. H. , along with other Newbury men. "Jona- 
 than Danford, of Pennecook, carpenter," bought land in Canterbury, 
 N. H., Sept. 3 1733. "Jonathan Danford, of Canterbury, carpen- 
 ter," sold land in C, formerly the home lot of William Bussell, 
 June 2, 1738.

 "Lived near the present dwelling of Asaph Smith"; [Hist. Ken- 
 nebunkport, 1837]. Was a resident from 1732, at least, till 1758, 
 when his wife died. His children, Enoch, Isaac, Anna, " and per- 
 haps others," are mentioned in the history. An elevation in the 
 town bore the name of " Danforth's Hill " till recent times, but the 
 locality is not now known. Enoch is said to have " removed to 
 Topsham," Of the latter part of Francis' life and of the time of his 
 death, nothing has been learned by us.

 They joined with other heirs (not children) of Rev. Nicholas Noyes 
 in a quitclaim deed 14 April, 1718. He bought land in Rowley in 
 1720, and removed thither. He signed his bond as administrator 
 of his brother Thomas' estate in 1723 "Joseph Danford." " Joseph 
 Danforth of Newbury," cordwainer (shoemaker), with his wife, Be- 
 thiah, sold land in Rowley in 1724; Joseph and Bethiah Danforth 
 were members of the Byfield church in 1744; Sept. 9, 1748, still 
 residing in Rowley, he bought land in Bradford, and soon removed 
 thither. Bethiah, widow of Joseph late of Bradford, requested the

 appointment of "her only son Eliphalet," of Bradford, as adminis- 
 trator of the estate of her husband, 2 May, 1753 "; and "Eliphalet 
 Danforth," as he signed himself, gave bonds for the performance of 
 the trust, five days later. " Mr. John Sari [Searle] and Mrs. Bethiah 
 Danford of Bradford" filed marriage intention in Rowley May 15,

 JoHiV {John,' William'), born 7 Feb. 1720; died 26 Aug. 
 1800; marriage intention 20 Sept. 1735, with "Abigail Fitts, of 
 Newbury"; marriage recorded 11 Nov. 1735, with "Elizabeth 
 Fitts of Newbury." This was a slip of the clerk's pen, for the 
 record shows that "Abigail Danforth, widow of John Danforth, who 
 belonged to Canterbury, N. H.," died in Byfield, Sept. 10, 1781, 
 " aged 58 years." He lived in Newbury at the signing of the family 
 deed (See in No. 3), in 1753; but afterward removed to Canter- 
 bury, N. H.* He was a signer with Samuel and others of Canter- 
 bury, of a petition for the incorporation of the north-east part of the 
 town, afterward called Loudon.

 home in Canterbury ; was one of " the inhabitants of Rumford, Can- 
 terbury and Contoocook " who petitioned for a guard against the In- 
 dians Jan. 2, 1747. He received in 1753 a deed of land from his 
 brothers and sisters, which gives much information about the family ; 
 it is given in the article upon his father (No. 3 ) . He sold land in C. 
 which had formerly belonged to William Bussell May 18, 1753. He 
 sold other lands there in 1763 and 1770, his wife Mary signing the lat- 
 ter with him. Moses Danforth of Boscawen, husbandman, with Mary, 
 his wife, sold land in B. July 28, 1763. The same persons, of" San- 
 bornton," sold land in S., "laid out to the original right of Josiah 
 Sanborn," May 8, 1770. He was enrolled as one of " Jere Clough'a 
 Scouts," mentioned in N. H. State Papers, in 1745, who doubtless 
 did important work in protecting the settlers against the Indians. 
 Signed a town petition in 1764. Either he or his son of the same 
 name was a petitioner among Sanbornton people in 1786, for relief 
 from burdensome taxation. At all events it is he who, "of Sanborn- 
 ton," bought land there Sept. 28, 1767. See article upon the son 
 Moses, No. 44. He married Mary (Molly) Flood ; she died Dec. 
 11, 1815. [Hist. Sanbornton].

 Abner,^ {Franris"^ William^), born probably at Arundel, Me, ; 
 seems to have gone to Bradford during the Revolutionary War and 
 there enlisted ; for we know no other person to whom the record here 
 given can apply ; he served in the Revolution*, and, residing in " Lin- 
 coln CO." (Me. ) " aged 74, "f received a pension of $96.00 per annum 
 for "service in the Massachusetts line" from the year 1818. He 
 resided at Harpswell, close by Brunswick, at the beginning of the 
 last century, and in 1882 removed to Litchfield, Me., and settled on 
 a farm recently occupied by Asa Nutting, Ensign and Alanson Dan- 
 forth, on Oak Kill. The family have kept the tradition that he came 
 from Massachusetts ; resided at one time in Topsham, Me. ; whence 
 he removed to Litchfield ; that he was a grandson of Francis Dan- 
 forth who lived at one time at Kennebunkport, Me. ; and that he was 
 born about the year 1760. 
 
 At this stage of the investigation it is not absolutely certain that 
 we have placed him in the right generation or family ; but strong 
 probabilities point to the place assigned him. His wife was Lucretia. 
 This we learn from a record in the town books of Brunswick, giving 
 the marriage of their son Moses in the year 1807, and stating his 
 birth-date and parentage.

 Albert Whitney^ (Prentice 8.,' Jedidiah,^ Jedidiah,* Wil-

 in Shanghai, China, Nov. 5, 1898, Lulu Fay Hacker. 
 
 He was engaged to go to China in 1881, by Li Hung Chang 
 and others, to give them figures and information in regard to the 
 building and equipment of Cotton Mills. He remained in Shanghai 
 two months, selected a site for the proposed mill, then returned to 
 America, with full authority to order the entire equipment of the 
 mill, hire assistants to go to China, and attend to all details. 
 Having completed arrangements in the United States, he left for 
 Shanghai in August, 1883. While on his way over, the war was 
 begun between China and Japan. Financial conditions were dis- 
 turbed, and Mr. Danforth was asked to wait awhile ; so everything 
 was held in abeyance for about three years. The mill was finally 
 built, and was making yarn and cloth in 1890, after innumerable 
 difficulties and delays. It was the first Cotton Mill in China. 
 In 1893 the mill was entirely destroyed by fire, but was soon re- 
 built. Mr. Danforth still retains a general oversight of the plant 
 of The Shanghai Cotton Cloth Company.

 turning to Louisville, he entered the Dry Goods house of Danforth, 
 Lewis, & Co., remaining in the business until 1856. He was then 
 chosen secretary of the Falls City Insurance Company, and from 
 that time was a leader in the insurance interests of the city and 
 state. For twenty-five years he was president of the Louisville 
 Board of Fire Underwriters. 
 
 For many years he also took a prominent part in developing the 
 Public Schools of the city, advocating all things which his investi- 
 gations found to be genuine improvements, and as strongly resisting 
 anything which he believed a perversion of the system. 
 
 He and Mrs. Danforth united with the Unitarian church in 1854, 
 and were most valuable members ; Sunday School work, benevolent 
 enterprises in the church and community, all things that made for 
 the true, the beautiful and the good, these he helped forward in a 
 conspicuous manner. He left the impress of a Cliristian gentleman 
 on all who came in contact with him.

 FRAMLINGHAM, SUFFOLK, ENGLAND, 
 
 Is a parish and market-town of great antiquity, once more populous 
 and of larger traffic than now, but still thriving with a population 
 little short of three thousand. 
 
 It is about ninety miles north east from London, with raihvay 
 connection, and about fifteen miles from the border of the North 
 Sea or German Ocean. 
 
 It is pleasantly situated on rising ground near to the sources of 
 the river Ore, which finds its way by a circuitous course to the sea 
 at Oreford. A local Gazetteer says " it is extensive and handsome, 
 containing many well-built houses, and a large market-place, the 
 centre of which was formerly ornamented by a cross. On the west 
 of the town is a lake, called the Mere, which flows into the Ore 
 and which is said to have been once navigable." Since that was 
 written, fifty years ago, a few good houses, several shops with mod- 
 ern appliances, and a large collegiate school have added to the 
 attractiveness of the village. 
 
 The old church, large and most subtantially built, with a square 
 tower more than a hundred feet high, is, to visitors, an object of 
 great interest. The older part, which is not now used for worship, 
 contains several elaborate and really elegant monuments, the prin- 
 cipal of which is that of the Earl of Surry, his countess and their 
 children. The Earl, — statesman, military commander and poet, — 
 fell a victim, as did so many others, to the caprice of King Henry 
 the Eighth, and was beheaded on Tower Hill. 
 
 Presbyterians, Methodists, Unitarians and Independents have 
 places of worship here, and there are two ancient alms-houses, 
 
436 DANTORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 founded and endowed by charitable men for the comfortable main- 
 tenance, respectively, of eight and twelve worthy people. 
 
 But the object of greatest interest in the town is the old castle. 
 Of vast dimensions and prodigiously strong, the noble ruins are 
 externally so well kept as to lead the beholder to pronounce it abso- 
 lutely impregnable. The walls are eight feet thick and 44 feet 
 high, and have thirteen square towers rising fourteen feet higher. 
 Two of these are watch-towers. The gateway, still well preserved, 
 is symmetrical and beautiful. It was defended by drawbridge and 
 portcullis, giving evidence of great security. 
 
 There were extensive gardens pertaining to it, the whole sur- 
 rounded by a moat, readily flooded from the adjoining lake. 
 
 The histoiy of the castle is lost in antiquity. Who wei'e its 
 builders is not even confidently surmised. The land was long ago 
 occupied by the Iceni, a British tribe, and afterward successively by 
 Romans, Saxons, Danes. The castle was occupied by Redwald, 
 one of the earliest of the East Anglian kings ; was later the resi- 
 dence of King Edmund, who in the year 870, after he had been 
 defeated in battle at Dunwich by the Danes, was besieged here and, 
 being obliged to flee, was taken and beheaded at Bury St. Ed- 
 munds. 
 
 The castle was taken by the Norman Conqueror, and afterward 
 changed owners frequently. Princess Mary retired to it during the 
 attempt to place the Lady Jane Grey on the throne. 
 
 Later the several structures in the interior were demolished that 
 the material might be converted to use elsewhere, but, as before 
 stated, the exterior has been well preserved. 
 
 Of course in the British Isles there are countless places, the scene 
 of historic events affecting the existence and welfare of unnumbered 
 successors, but it would seem that comparatively few can show so 
 grand and so well preserved relics of ancient renown as appear in 
 and around our " Framlinoham ad Castrum." 
 
 LANDS OF REV. SAMUEL DANFORTH. 
 
 A small account-book containing details of many business trans- 
 actions of Rev. Samuel Danforth of Taunton, shows him to have 
 been, not only the efficient and greatly respected minister of that 
 town, as well as teacher of classics, and advisor of his people both 
 in legal and in medical practice, but also a man of energy and 
 thrift in secular afftiirs. 
 
 With a small salary and probably very small addition of fees for 
 special services, he reared a large family reputably ; and as shown 
 
DANFORTH GENEALOGY. 437 
 
 in these simple records gradually acquired many tracts of land in 
 the town for which payments seem to have been made with scrupu- 
 lous exactness — the result being valuable investments for his chil- 
 dren. 
 
 From this little book, lent to us in 1893 by its possessor, Mr. B. 
 F. Danforth of Chetopa, Labette co., Kansas, and accurately copied 
 by Mr. Almar Danforth Hodges, junior, we subjoin some extracts :

 REMARKS 
 
 On the subject of the Trials for Witchcraft in Salem and vicinity in 1692 
 extracts from a paper read at the Fifth Meeting of the 
 Danforth Family in Boston, 1886. 
 
 This community has long sufFered reproach because of the excite- 
 ment which prevailed during a few months in the year 1692, on the 
 subject of witchcraft ; and of the trials then held, and of the convic- 
 tion and execution of a few hapless victims of a now exploded super- 
 stition. 
 
 Our Thomas Danforth was on the bench, at one session, at Cam- 
 bridge, when some accused persons were tried, and several were ad- 
 judged guilty, neither of whom, however, was punished ; and censiu'e 
 has rested on his memory as accessory to the persecution of innocent 
 people. The weight of testimony, however, is altogether against 
 such imputation, and it is certain that subsequently his influence 
 helped to dispel tlie illusion. 
 
 But the charge of intolerance and cruelty has been so constantly 
 reiterated, that even among ourselves the feeling is common that 
 herein our worthy ancestors had done something singularly discredi- 
 table. 
 
 A brief statement of facts may set the matter in a juster light. 
 
 Dr. Palfrey, in his History of New England, says : "The people 
 of Massachusetts in the seventeenth century, like all other Christian 
 people at that time, at least with extreuicly rare individual excep- 
 tions, believed in the reality of a hideous crime called witchcraft. 
 They thought they had Scripture for that belief, and they knew they 
 had law for it, explicit and abundant ; and with tlieni law and Scrip- 
 ture were two absolute authorities for the regulation of opinion and 
 conduct." 
 
DANTORTH GENEALOGY. 439 
 
 That belief was an inheritance common to all men from the most 
 ignorant to the most learned. It was diligently inculcated by the 
 Roman Catholic Church, and also by the leaders of the Protestant 
 Reformation. 
 
 Pope Innocent VIII., in 1484, issued a bull punishing the crime 
 of witchcraft with death. With Luther this belief became intensified, 
 and he declared, " I would have no compassion on these witches — 
 I would burn them all." 
 
 Bishop Jewell, preaching before Queen Elizabeth, said: "May 
 it please your Grace to understand that witches and sorcerers, with- 
 in these few years, are marvelously increased in your Grace's realm." 
 Later, Lord Bacon, "the greatest, wisest" of his time, pronounced 
 the "three declinations from religion" to be "heresies, idolatry, and 
 witchcraft." 
 
 In 1664, Sir Matthew Hale, afterward Lord Chief Justice of Eng- 
 land, sentencing two women to be hanged, said that the reality of 
 witchcraft was unquestionable ; and in this opinion he was supported 
 by Sir Thomas Browne, who was present at the trial. 
 
 The popular commentary on English law, published at the close 
 of the seventeenth century, which was the current law-manual in 
 New England, recognized witchcraft as a real crime. 
 
 We ask, then, wherein were the people of Massachusetts blamable 
 in that they accepted and acted upon the belief which all the rest of 
 Christendom held and practised ; and in that they brought to trial 
 those who were accused, and inflicted the punishment prescribed by 
 law on those who were found guilty and who continued impenitent. 
 For these two features in the case should be noted : first, that none 
 were condemned without a formal trial ; and secondly, all those who 
 pleaded guilty and declared themselves penitent were released ; and 
 the fact that many did confess guilt, of course confirmed the current 
 belief. 
 
 Why should these people be expected to be superior to all the rest 
 of the world? A candid reply must be a complete acquittal. 
 
 But to continue the review. Long after the time when the reaction 
 occurred in Massachusetts, and the superstition was exploded and 
 denounced here, the belief in witchcraft continued in other lands. 
 Joseph Addison and Dr. Samuel Johnson were firm believers in it, 
 and John Wesley, in 1768, said that "giving up witchcraft is, in 
 effect, giving up the Bible." 
 
 In 1773, the Presbytery of Scotland passed a resolution declaring 
 their belief in witchcraft, and deploring the general stepticism in re- 
 gard to it. 
 
 During Cromwell's time, sixty witches were hanged in a single 
 year in the one county of Suffolk ; and no fewer than three thousand 
 
440 DANTORTH GENEALOGY. 
 
 were executed in England during the session of the Long Parlia- 
 ment. (The whole number put to death in the Salem tragedy was 
 nineteen.) 
 
 In 1716, a Mrs. Hicks and her daughter were hanged in Hunting- 
 ton, England, and in 1722 a woman was burned in Dornock, Scot- 
 land, for witchcraft ; and not until fourteen years later still, in 1736, 
 was the English statute against witchcraft repealed, being more than 
 forty years after the excitement in New England had subsided. 
 
 In Switzerland, as late as 1780, women were burned for the im- 
 puted offence. 
 
 Thus it appears that not only is special blame not to be charged 
 to the people of Massachusetts, but to them should be accorded the 
 merit of being m advance of all the rest of Christendom in 
 
 SHAKING off THE DELUSION AND RENOUNCING ITS BARBARITIES.
