I hope it will serve to arouse their curiosity con- cerning the remoter authors of their existence, and in- duce them to study the character and habits of the founders of this great Republic as represented in their own ancestry. It is hoped that this feeble effort to retrieve from oblivion something of the history and genealogy of the Kennan family will serve as the beginning of a work which will be followed up and added to by my descend- ants from generation to generation. Thomas Lathrop Kennan. The Kennan Family. CHAPTER T. 2Crmtan Jamtlg The Keimans seem to belong to an ancient race of people for the name is foimd in the Bible. (See Chap- ter 1, First Chronicles, second verse.) The name is there spelled "Kenan" and one branch of the Kennan family in America spells the name in that way. Thomas Kenan the ancestor of that branch, was a brother or at least related to the Irish Earl Kearney. He married Miss Elizabeth Johnstone, who, tradition says, was a Scotch lady and blood relative of the Duke of Argyll. They were driven out of Scotland by the re- ligious prosecutions in 1641 and fled into the north of Ireland. Said Thomas Kenan came from Londonderry to America and landed at Wilmington, 2^. C, in 1720. The place in North Carolina called Kenansville was named in honor of that family. Itrgtitia Srmuly of Ktmm 3f(nmxUj The first Kennan to come to America, (of whom I have any knowledge) was Richard Kennon (so spelled), who came over sometime prior to 1670, and located in Virginia, about five miles below Petersburg. He was a merchant and became a large landowner and planter. He married Elizabeth Warsham, a daughter of Wil- liam Warsham of Virginia. 8 The Kennan Family. The family became prominent in Virginia. Capt. Richard Kennon, Jr., a son of the above, married Agnes Boiling, and they had a son Robert Kennon, who mar- ried Sarah Skipwith of royal descent. These last had a son Richard Kennon, who was a General in the Revo- lutionary War. Thomas Jefferson, while President of the United States, appointed him the first Governor of Louisiana. General Kennon married Elizabeth Beverly Mun- ford and they had a son Beverly Kennon who was a Commodore in the United States Navy and was killed by the explosion of a cannon on the frigate Princeton in 1844; Secretaries Upshur and Gilmer of President Tyler's cabinet were killed at the same time. Commodore Beverly Kennon married first Eliza- beth Dandridge Claiborne. After she died, he married for his second wife Brittania Wellington Peter, of Georgetown, D. C. She is still living there in the fine old mansion in Tiidor Place. She is a great grand daughter of Martha Custis, wife of George Wash- ington. She has in her hall the old camp stool used by General Washington in the Army. She also preserves the wedding dress which Martha Custis wore when she was married to General Washington. When Britannia married Commodore Kennon, she wore the same dress. It is said that she has more of the silverware and bric- a-brac formerly owned by Martha Washington than any person living. Mrs. Kennon served as bridesmaid for Mrs. General Robert E. Lee, when she was married. In speaking of different Kennon families I have adop- ted their way of spelling the name. According to a tradition in their family, Richard Kennon was an English Gentleman and came from England to Amer- The Kennan Family. 9 ica, but I think he was of Scotch descent. He went back to England six or eight times, probably to purchase goods and he was the agent of a Scotch firm in Glasgow which was doing business in America. He im- ported glazed brick and built a large brick house which is still standing. There is a place in Charles City Co. Va., called Kennon's. There was a Kennan family living in Loudon Coun- ty, Virginia, prior to the Eevolutionary War. They bad a daughter named Fannie Maitland Kennan, born on the 24th of July, 1773. In 1790 Fannie Maitland Kennan was married to Captain Thomas Marshall, of Fauquier County, Virginia, born Oct, 27, 1761. He was a brother of Judge Marshall of the Supreme Court of the United States. About two or three years after they were married Captain Marshall went down the Ohio River as far as Maysville, Ky., and located there or in that vicinity. Mrs Marshall had a brother Wil- liam Kennan, who was born in Virginia in 1775, who accompanied them on that journey and they all became prominent and influential citizens in Kentucky. A list of militia officers was recommended to the Governor of Virginia by the County Court of Loudon County for appointments from March 1778 to Dec. 1782, and among others Thomas Kennan received a commission as captain. I think it very likely that he was the father of the above mentioned William and Fannie Maitland Kennan. For further account of William and Fanny Mait- land Kennan see Chapter VIII. There was a William Kennon, who was a prominent lawyer at Salisbury, North Carolina, who is said to have been one of the signers of the "Mecklenburg De- 10 The Kennan Family. claration of Independence," of May 20th, 1775, which so-called "Declaration of Independence" caused so much discussion that it is not ended yet. And now after a lapse of one hundred and thirty two years a good sized book has just been published ably reviewing the whole subject as to whether there ever was such a "Declara- tion of Independence" adopted in North Carolina. I think said William Kennon w^ent from Virginia to Xorth Carolina and was a grandson of Richard Kennon above mentioned. There has been a family of Kennons living in East- ern Ohio, the past one hundred years. One of that family named William Kennon^ was born in Pennsyl- vania and emigrated from there to St. Clairsvillo, Ohio. He was elected to Congress from that State in 1829, and was re-elected many times. I was shown a letter written ten years ago by John Kennon, one of that family, wherein he says : "Our family was driven out of Scotland on account of their Protestant faith in the year 1641, and settled in the County of Antrim, in Ireland." "My grandfather had seven sons, viz: James, Wil- liam, Henry, Thomas, John and IN'ewell and one who died young. "Uncle John Kennon came to America in 1790, and landed at Philadelphia. He located in Pennsylva- nia and Avrote to my father that there was a territory lying west of the river called Ohio, that was said to be as rich as the valley of Egypt, and said, "come to Amer- ica and go along and we will settle there." They ac- cordingly emigrated to Ohio early in the eighteenth century. Judge William Kennon, Sr., when in Con- gress, had several conversations with Commodore Eever- The Kennan Family. 11 Ij Kennou, before he was killed on the "Princetou" and they concluded that, although the names were spelled slig-htlj different, still the Kennans were all of the same stock." At the end of his letter he said, "I am very sure that Greorge Kennan, who gave the Emperor of Txussia so much trouble when traveling through that country, is a relative of ours." Nortliern Iranrtj of llie Kennan JFamily 1. James Kennan (or MacKennan as he Avrote his name), appears to have been the American ancestor of the Northern branch of the Kennau family. Little is known of him, except that he married at Rutland, Mass., May 25, 1744, Margaret Smith, of the towm of Hol- den. The Kennans were all of Scotch descent, and were Protestants, and some of them, or perhaps most of them, were driven out of Scotland with thousands of others by religious persecution, and fled into the North of Ireland where many Scotch refugees located, mostly in the province of Ulster. This class of Scotch emi- grants filled up that province after it had been emptied of its half barbarous native inhabitants. They there founded Londonderry, which soon became famous as the home of Scotch Presbyterians. A century later more than three thousand of the descendants of those refugees emigrated to America. The first boat load landed at Bos- ton on the 4th of August, 1718. Many of them located in Worcester County and as that was about the time that the Smith family located in Rutland, it is quite proba- ble that they came to America at that time. They were 12 The Kennan Family. probably of Scotch descent and Presbyterians. When their daughter Margaret Smith was married to the above mentioned James MacKennan the Kev. Joseph Bnck- minster, a Presbyterian minister performed the cere- mony. These emigrants were a hardy and industrious class of people, and did much to help build up the new coim- try of their adoption. After a careful investigation I have been unable to detemiine whether the above mentioned James Kennan (or ]\IacKennan) came directly from Scotland to Amer- ica or whether he came from Ireland to America. But while traveling in Scotland in 1903, I passed through Dumfries and learned that James Kennan had in the latter part of the sixteenth century, lived there and was a member of the Scotch Parliament from 1689 until the time of his death in 1696. I think it is quite possible that he may have been the grandfather of James Kennan, the American ancestor. There was a tradition in the family that two brothers came over to this country and that they wrote the name "MacKennan," and it was said that the de- scendants of one of them dropped the prefix "Mac"" while the descendants of the other one retained it. There was a William MacKennan who came to America from the north of Ireland, probably from the county of Antrim, some time prior to 1752. He was ordained as a Presbyterian minister on the 7th of December 1755. He was installed as pastor of the Red Clay Creek church and preached there, and at Wilmington, Delaware, over fifty years. He lived to the advanced age of ninety years. He was much esteemed and hon- ored in the communitv and some of his descendants The Kennan Family. 13 held honorable positions. One of his sons served in the Revolutionary war, and anotlier was a member of the cabinet of President Harrison. Hon. William MacKennan, a grandson of Rev. William MaeKennan, was a judge of the United States Court in Pennsyl- vania. As to whether the above named Rev. William Mac Kennan was the brother of the ancestor James Mac Kennan, first above mentioned, we have no satisfac- tory evidence. However that may be, the records show that at the time James MaeKennan married Margaret Smith, he was called James MaeKennan, but his child- ren (probably not considering the "Mac" as any part of the name) discontinued the use of the prefix and it has never since been used by the descendants of that branch of the Kennan family. But the descendants of the Rev. William MaeKennan have retained it.* James and Margaret Smith had four sons and four daughters, all of whom eventually married. Andrew and John, two of the sons, settled in Holden ; James and George in Rutland. They became prosperous far- mers and were highly respected and influential citizens. James Smith, 3rd, a grandson of James and Margaret Smith took part in the Revolutionary War and fought in the battle of Bunker Hill. In that battle he stood near the spot where Benjamin Reid was killed. Another grandson was Lieut. George Smith, who married in 1752 Jane Maclewain of Leicester, England. Her parents, together with their four children, were ship- wrecked on the vovage to America and all were drow^ied except Jane, above mentioned and one of her sisters. ♦The prefix "Mac" in names of Scotch origin signifiea 'son, or son of," 14 The Kennan Family. George Smith, bought, and settled on, a portion of 030 acres in the County of Worcester, which had been granted to one Capt. Benj. Willard. They had born unto them the following named children : Isaac, Hugh, Mary, Agnes, George, Elizabeth, John and AndrcAv. These children married and settled in different surrounding towns. The Kennans and Smiths took an active part in achieving the independence of America. Several of the sons of each family served in the Revolutionary War. It is noticeable that many of their children bore Scotch, names, such as Hugh, Agnes and Andrew. The northwestern portion of the town of Rutland was almost entirely settled by that class of people. These early settlers were courageous and enterprising and possessed much of the spirit of the early pilgrims. Many of them had left pleasant homes and agi*eeable surround- ings to settle in a wilderness, exposed day and night, whether in hut or field, to the wily and cruel Indian, the lurking and ravenous bear and wolf. One of the inhabitants said in writing of it : "A howling wilderness it was, where noi man dwelt, the hideous yells of wolves, the hooting of owls, the gobbling of turkeys and the bark- ing of foxes was all the music we enjoyed ; no friends to visit, not a soul in the surrounding towns, all being a dreary waste and exposed to a thousand difficulties, no roads, mills, schools or sanctuary !" These difficulties and dangers, however, were soon overcome, for the hardy pioneers of that time were noted for their thrift and industry and it was not long before they had cleared their farms and made pleasant and comfortable homes for themselves. Their lands being of a strong, deep soil, the farmers were well repaid for their labor. In speaking of the people in that region long before the The Ken nan Family. 15 Eevolutionary War, a well-known writer says, ''Morn- ing and evening- the domestic altar was surrounded, to unite in prayer and praise, for the blessings of the day, and the protection of the night, at the close of the week, preparation was made for the Sabbath. It was held sacred to public and private worship, and works of necessity and mercy. You might see not only on horse- back, but both males and females, for miles on foot, making their way to the Sanctuary." The Kennan and Smith families, and nearly all of the other settlers in that region, were either of the Presbyterian or Con- gregational faith and it was not long before they had built a house of worship and choosen a minister. The Presbyterians, were very conscientious in wishing to have their children dedicated in baptism at the first opportunity after their birth ; — some were so tenacious of having the ordinance administered by those of their particular tenets that, in spite of bad roads and other difficulties they carried their infants in their arms on liorsebaek as far as Pelham, to have the ordinance administered in Presbyterian form. At one of the first church meetings in Rutland they decided to call the Rev. Benjamin Willard to be their minister, but before he was ordained and installed he was killed by the Indians. A call was then extended to Rev. Mr. Frink and later in 1741 to Rev. Joseph Buckminster who afterwards officiated at the marriage of James MacKennan to Margaret Smith. Quoting again from the above writer he says : "Their morning and evening meals were of the variety of spoonfare from the rich, pure milk, to the wholesome bean-porridge, — on long days a luncheon ; at noon the long w'hite table was jilaced, the linen cloth 16 The Kennan Family. epread, the wooden plates (as white as female hands could make them), set, — the large brown dish, well filled with pork or beef from the stall, fowl from the yard, game from the forest, or fish from the waters ; on baking days a platter of rich pork and beans and a deli- cious indian pudding. The father and mother at the head, the ruddy sons on one side and blooming daughters on the other, — after the blessing craved, they sat down and partook of a friendly, social, and hearty dinner ; — after thanks for the same, each to their employment." Their clothing was principally of home manufac- ture, of strong texture made from wool from the sheep, and flax from the earth; young men did not wear watches or leather boots, or carry silver headed canes. They dressed in plain apparel calculated for comfort and health more than for ornament. The food, dress and employment of the youth had a tendency to pro- mote vigor and strength. And another writing of those times said "Our young men were enured to the enjoy- ment of the farm, our young women to the loom and both united in milking the cows and pulling and stretch- ing the flax and most of them made good and indust- rious husbands and wives." "The long winter evenings were enjoyed by a blaz- ing fire and bright torch light in a way domestic, in reading tales, singing animating songs, eating fruit, etc. Our young men were courageous and athletic, our young women industrious, cheerful and healthy. From such was the independence of America achieved." The Kennans appear to have been people of rank in the old country, as they had a coat of arms and Crest. The picture on the title page shows the form, although not the coloring, of the Kennan Crest, as The Kennan Family, 17 published in "Fairbairns Crests of the families of Great Britain and Ireland." See plate No. 166 in Volume 2 Crest No. 9. Edition published in 1892.* James MeKennan resided many years on his farm in Rutland and raised a large family of children. Some of his direct descendants are still living in that vicinity. The children of James and Margaret (Smith) Mao Kennan were: John MacKennan, born April 7, 1745. Agnes MacKennan, born August 3, 1746. James MacKennan, born March 4, 1748. Jean MacKennan, born February 12, 1750. George MacKennan, born January 2, 1752. Andrew MacKennan, born April 20, 1754. Isaac MacKennan, bom December 6, 1757.

He served as a private in the Revolutionary- War, in Lieut. Joseph Warren's company, which marched from Charlemont on April 21, 1775. He enlisted again on May 10', 1777, in Capt. Lawrence Kemp's company. The company was detached from Hampshire County militia for service under Col. David Wells in the TTorthem Department. 4. James Kennan, son of James and Margaret (Smith) MacKennan was born on March 4, 1748, at Rutland, Mass. l^ot traced. 6. George Kennan son of James and Margaret (Smith) MacKennan was born February 2, 1752, and married Abigail Sherman about 1772. He lived for many years at Charlemont and appears to have held a commission as lieutenant in the revolutionary war, probably in the state militia. The writer of this visited Charlemont on his way to New York in 1894, for the purpose of examining the town records and gaining some information in regard to the ancestors who had formerly lived there. An examination of the town records disclosed the fact that George Kennan had been quit© an active and prominent man in the town The Kennan Family. 19 and had held many offices of public trust and in the records he was constantly referred to as ''Lieut. George Kennan." Some of the entries in the town records were as follows: "1782, Lieut. George Kennan chosen selectman. 1782, Lieut. George Kennan was chosen to apportion school money. 1783, Lieut. George Kennan was chosen selectman and assessor. 1785, Lieut. George Kennan, highway surveyor." He was a farmer and seems to have been a man of considerable means for that early day. He owned a large farm on Deerfield River near the village. In the office of the Register of deeds was found a number of conveyances of land to him and also from him, some of which were as follows : Margaret Kennan (widow) and Andrew Kennan, yeoman, convey, in consideration of 400 Pounds Ster- ling to George Kennan, Gentleman, 158 acres of land on the bank of Deerfield River, Charlemont. Deed dated Apr. 13, 1781. Isaac Kennan, Yeoman, in consideration of 50 Pounds Sterling, conveys to George Kennan of Charle- mont, Gentleman, 50 acres of land on the bank of Deer- field River. George Kennan of Charlemont, Gentleman, in con- sideration of 200 Pounds Sterling conveyed to Jonathan Hastings land in Charlemont by a deed dated Feb. 14, 1792. Oliver Avery, in consideration of 200 Pounds Ster- ling, conveys to George Kennan, of Charlemont, Gentle- man, lands situated on Deerfield River. Deed dated Feb. 25, 1793. George Kennan, of Charlemont, Gentleman, in con- sideration of 100 Pounds Sterling, conveys to Marga- ret Kennan, of Charlemont, certain lands therein de- 20 The Ken nan Family. scribed and the deed recites that "said Margaret takes this for her third in a certain farm formerly owned by James Kennan, "my honored father" and Warren Booth. Deed dated April 5, 1785. It would appear from the above deed that James MacKennan had died prior to that date and that his widow was still living. There is also' a deed from George MacKennan of Wy- mans Grant, Hampshire County, Massachusetts Bay, to Charles Mathewson of 117 acres of land in Wymans Grant, etc., dated March 20, 1778. This was probably about the last time that George Kennan made use of the prefix "Mac" on his name, but his father seems to have continued to wi'ite his name "MacKennan" until his death. His children, however, dropped the "Mac." James MacKennan probably moved from Paxton to Charlemont several years before his death for it ap- pears by the record that he owned a farm on the Deer- field River with one Mr. Booth; and he was (with others) chosen on a committee of safety about the time of the revolution. In the town clerk's office the names and dates of birth of the children of George and Abigail Kennan are given as follows: 11 — 1. Thomas Kennan, son of George and Abi- gail Kennan, born June 3, 1773. 12 — 2. James Kennan, son of George and Abigail Kennan, born April 21, 1775. Not traced. 13 — 3.

About 1793 Lient. George Kennan removed with his family from Charlemont to Waterbury, Vt., and vras among the first settlers there. He built a mill there and probably received a commission as Colonel. At any rate, he was known there as C<3l. George Kennan, and became an active and prominent man in that vicinity and held many offices of trust and responsibility. He was elected to the Vermont Legislature in 1798-1805- 1806-1808-1810. HeMENWAY^S VEKMO^^T HiSTOEICAL GAZETTEER, in speaking of the early settlers of Waterbury Vermont, says : "Among the early settlers we must not omit to notice the family of Col. George Kennan, whose name appeal"^ as one of the town officers a? early as 1794, when he served as moderator and selectman, and again in 1707 and 1804, and was justice of the peace many 22 The Kenxax Family. years. His son, George, was constable in 1802, and selectman in 1809. "Thomas, another son, assisted in the organization of the first Congregational Chnrch as clerk of the meet- ing; afterwards became a minister of that denomina- tion. "Another son of this family was Jairus, who fell an early victim to his love of knowledge a few years after his graduation in 1804, as a member of the first class of the University of Vermont. At the semi-centennial anniversary of the University in 1854, the late Charles Adams, Esq., of Bnrlington, paid the following tribute to his memory, in response to the sentiment, "The First Graduating Class of 50 years ago :" "There were four of us who graduated fifty years ago. Three are present on this occasion. The joy of our meeting is chastened by the reflection that our other classmate, Jairus Ken- nan, is no more. He was feeble while in college, and having long struggled with disease, has gone, as we trust, to a higher and better world. Jairus Kennan was not an ordinary man. He loved knowledge, and nothing could repress his ardor in the pursuit. His intellectual powers were of a high order, and he cultivated them with untiring devotion. He was distinguished for warmth of feeling and kindness of manner, and had he lived, would have taken high rank as a philanthropist. Poor in purse and poorer in health, he was above adverse circumstances, and alone and unaided, pursued a quiet course of the highest development of mind and heart. He was a bright example of what energy and ambition may accomplish." Col. George Kennan died at Waterbury in 1830, The Kennan Family. 23 aged 78 years. His wife had died very suddenly some years before. 7. Andrew Kennan, son of James and Margaret (Smith) Kennan was bom at Rutland, April 20, 1754. He entered his intentions of marriage to Poggy Smith of Eutland, May 31, 1777, and was married January 22, 1778. He served in the Revolutionary War. He marched from Charlemont in response to the alarm of April 19, 1775, and sensed a few days. He later en- listed again and was a corporal in Captain !Nahum Ward's company, Col. David Well's Regiment of Hampshire County. He owned a farm of 200 acres on the north side of Deerfield River and ten acres of land near the saw mill on the river. This he sold to Samuel Taylor, April 12, 1784. CHILDREN. 21 — 1. James Kennan, born at Rutland, 1779. 22 — 2. Elijah Kennan. 23 — 3. Silas Kennan. 24 — 4. Andrew Kennan. 25 — 5.

He married at Waterbury, Vermont, February 18, 1795, Sally Lathrop, bora in 1774. She died at Dekalb, Js^. Y., July 18, 1831. Thomas Kennan was grandfather of the writer of this sketch. He studied for the ministry with the Rev. Mr. Hovey, of Water- bury, Vermont, and occasionally supplied that gentle- man's pulpit. After being ordained he was called to preach at Stowe, Vt. After preaching there a while he moved to Moira, IST. Y. He preached there about nine years and then moved, in 1809, to Bangor, N. Y. After remaining there a few years he removed with his family to Dekalb, St Lawrence County, N. Y. His wife died there, on July 18, 1831, aged 56 years. Sometime after that he removed to Norwalk, O., and resided there until the time of his death, which occurred Jan. 26, 1853. He was a Presbyterian minister. He was tall, erect and spare in figure and somewhat distinguished in appearance. After his son, Jairus Kennan was mar- ried the Rev. Thomas lived with him, and he died at his house. He o^vned ten acres of land just outside of Nor- walk, and after he stopped preaching he kept a horse and light wagon and was accustomed to drive to his place in fair weather and do a little work there. His 26 The Kennan Family wife Sally Lathrop came of good stock. She was a de- scendant of the Rev. John Lathrop, who preacfted to the first free church organized in London, and abont 1630 was imprisoned two- years for not preaching and con- forming to the doctrines of the English Church. She was also a "Mayflower Descendant" being in the direct line from Elder William Brewster, called "Chief of the Pilgrims" who landed at Plymouth Rock from the Mayflower, on December 21, A. D. 1620. William Brewster was born about 1560, a little more than a year after Queen Elizabeth came to the throne. The exact place of his nativity is somewhat uncertain, but I think it quite probable that he was born and raised in Scrooby, England. Rev. Mr. Steele in his life of Brewster says: "Among the old English families inhabiting the northeastern part of Suffolk County and a part of Nor- folk on the eastern coast of England, were the ancient BreAvster family and their connections located, ranking among the early English Landed Gentry. As early as 1375, John Brewster was witness to a deed in the Parish of Henstead, in Suffolk County, and not long after in the reign of Richard the Second, a John Brew- ster was presented to the Rectory of Godwich in the County of Norfolk." In the list of gentry of Norfolk returned to Henry the Sixth was Galfridus Brewster. In the County of Suffolk Robert Brewster of Mutford possessed lands in Henstead, and William Brewster of Henstead and Robert Brewster of Rushmere, died, possessed of these estates prior to the year 1482. Some years later Humphrey Brewster purchased the Manor and Living of Wrentham not far distant, and in 1550, built Wrentham Hall where his descendants cnntlnued The Kennan Family. 27 to reside until about 1810. In tliis vicinity many de- scendants of this branch of the family continued to re- side, and the name of William kept up for more than three hundred years. That the puritan William Brewster was of this con- nection seems most probable from the fact that a copy of the same Coai of Arms has been preserved from time immemorial in one branch of the Brewster family in this country." Mr. Brewster received a liberal education at the University of Cambridge. He was married to Mary Love probably about 1592. After leaving the Univer- sity he entered the service of Embassador Davison who belonged to the Queen's Cburt. He accompanied ^Ir. Davison on his missions to other countries which fur- nished him excellent opportunities for travel and study. He also remained in Mr. Davison's employ later, after Mr. Davison had been promoted to be a member of Queen Elizabeth's 0>urt as one of her Secretaries of State. And it is well known that her Court at that time was one of distinguished eminence. Mr. Brewster seems to have been Mr. Davison's con- fidential clerk or private Secretary. He had his office or headquarters with Mr. Davison wherever the royal residence of the Queen might be, as they had to attend constantly on the Sovereign : Each of her Secretaries was provided with apart- ments in all royal houses. The Secretary found Mr. Brewster so discreet and faithful that he trusted him above all others, and only employed him in matters of the greatest trust and secrecy. Mr. Brewster, at this time, was about twenty-six years of age. The trial and execution of the beautiful 28 The Ken nan Family. but -unfortimate, Mary Queen of Scots, followed soon after. She was tried and sentenced to be beheaded, and unfortunately for Mr, Davison, it became his official duty to prepare the warrant for her execution and take it to the Queen for her signature, which he did, and after she had signed the warrant he retained it in his possession a while and then passed it to the officials whose duty it was to have the warrant executed, and the execution soon followed. After the Queen heard that the execution had taken place she was evidently afraid that public sentiment would condemn her for allowing Queen Mary to be be- headed, and to try to shield herpelf from blame, she endeavored to cast the blame on Mr. Davison and very unjustly had him committed to prison in the Tower of London. After Mr. Davison was put in prison Mr. Brewster returned to Scrooby* and continued to reside there in retirement for many years. He received the appoint- ment of Post of Scrooby on a small salary, which posi- tion he held under the Queen and her successor for many years. Here he lived in the large old manor house which had in former years been in the possession of the Archbishops of York. About 1606, an organiza- tion of religious people, Avho had separated themselves from the established church, was formed and Mr. Brew- *Scrooby is situated on the Great Northern Railroad and while traveling in England in 1903, I went there to see the place where our distinguished ancestor had spent many years of his life and to see the country where most of the pilgrims came from. Very little of the ancient abode of splendor re- mained to be seen. The old Manor house had long since dis- appeared and the site where it once stood, is only indicated by a group of tall sycamore trees growing there. The Kennan Family. 29 ster united with them and became a leader among them. They were accustomed to hold their meetings at his house. They were called Separatists or Brownists. After King James came to the throne, they were made to feel the consequence of their separation. He said "I will make them conform or I will hariy them out of the kingdom, or else do worse." The persecu- tion which followed drove them out of the country and about 1607 they fled to Holland where they remained eleven years. They were not satisfied, however, to make that a permanent home and took measures to obtain a charter from the King of England allowing them to establish an English Colony in America. King James gave his consent and they immediately commenced mak- ing preparations to embark for the wilds of iVmerica. As it was deemed a very hazardous undertaking it was agreed among them that only a part of their people should go at first and make a beginning. About July 21, 1620, a large company started under the leadership of Elder Brewster. They went first to England where they had chartered the Mayflower to take them to Amer- ica. The Speedwell was also expected to accompany them, but after they started she commenced to leak, was considered unseaworthy and turned back. After a tem- pestuous voyage of about nine weeks they landed at Plymouth Rock on Dec. 21, 1620. Here was made, by them, the first settlement in iSTew England. Elder Brewster was one of the signers of (and according to tradition, he drafted) the cele- brated "Compact" which has been called "the first written constitution of the World's history." Xever were any civilized people placed more completely in a state of nature than this little band of pilgrims. They cO The Kennan Family. had, indeed, literally a world before them, hut that world was a vast wilderness and providence was their only gTiide. ''This William Brewster," says an English writer, "was the most eminent person in the movement, and the one who, if that honor is to be given to any single person, must be regarded as the Father of New England." The reason why he was not chosen to be their first governor says Hutchison, was that "He was their ruling elder, which seems to have been the bar to his being their governor ; civil and ecclesiastical office in the same person being by them deemed incompatible." Little did they imagine that they were then and there laying the foundation of what was to be the most mighty nation on the face of the earth ; and that in connection there- with his name would be transmitted down the ages, as long as the Eiiglish language should be spoken among men. The following is a. picture of a National Monument Avhich was erected in the old town of Plymouth in 1889 tO' perpetuate the memory of the Pilgrims who came over on the Mayflower, and it may interest the de- scendants of Elder Brewster to see a picture of it. The names of William Brewster and the others who came on the Mayflower are inscribed on the Monument. The monument is located on one of the highest hills of the town not far from the place where the Mayflower landed. As Elder William Brewster was considered chief among the pilgrims it is very gratifying to his descendants, to know that such a beautiful and lasting monument lias been erected to perpetuate the hallowed memory of that PilgTim band. 'Nl National Monument Erected at rr.vMOT^Tif f The Kennan Family. 31 When finished it was said to be the largest modern monolithic granite monument in the world. The central figure representing Faith is 36 feet high. The seated figures on the four sides represent Freedom, Educa- tion, Law and Morality. In the end of the buttress is a fine alto relievo, by Conrad, representing the depar- ture of the Pilgrims from Delft Haven. It was given by the State of Connecticut. Education on the south buttress, was the gift of Roland Mather, of Hartford, Ct)nn. This represents a seated female figure. A laurel wreath encircles her brow and her left hand supports an open book on which the right forefinger rests. On one side of her throne is a small group represent- ing "Youth Led by Experience", and on the other side is "Wisdom Ripe with Years." In the end of this butt- ress is a marble alto relievo, also the gift of Mr. Mather, which represents the scene in the cabin of the May- floAver when the compact was signed by the Pilgrims — that simple agreement on which is based the govern- ment of this country. Freedom is similar in size to the other statues, weigh- ing about eighteen tons. It is represented by a man of heroic build, seated with the left foot resting on a broken chain. On the right arm rests a short Roman sword, while a helmet covers his head. His face has a firm, set mouth, Roman nose and a slightly stern ex- pression. The lion's skin of Hercules rests on his mas- sive shoulders. The small statues on the side of his seat represent "Peace" and "Tyranny Overthrown by Freedom." The alto relievo panel is a fine piece of work. It represents the exploring party which came in 32 The Ken nan Family. the shallop from Province town Dec. 21, 1620, reaching shore. The statute of Law is in a judge's robes. A volume is on the left knee. The forhead and brow somewhat re- semble those of Daniel Webster. It was given by the legal fraternity of the country. On one side of Law is a statue of Justice, and on the other Mercy. The subject of the fourth marble alto relievo is "The Treaty with Massassoit". The scene is laid in an un- occupied house, the roughly hewn logs forming the back- ground. In the centre is Massassoit, with the peace pipe in his hand. Squanto, the interpreter, is behind the table, and Governor Carver holds tlie important document in his hands, while John Alden sits at the table, near the inkhorn, and Miles Standish stands near by, one hand on his ready sword, and the alarm drum near by. The monument stands in the centre of a plateau, some 400 feet in diameter, with a strip of grass forty feet wide around it, and a driveway fifty feet wide and two fifths of a mile long compassing the structure. A brief summary of the line of descent of Sally Lathrop from Elder Brewster is as follows: William Brewster married Mary Love probably in 1592, and they had a son, Jonathan Brewster, who married Lucretia Oldham, and the}' had a daughter named Grace Brewster, who married Oapt. Daniel Wethe- rell. They had a daughter named Mary Wetherell, who married (1) Thomas Harris, who died at Barbadoes and his widow, Mary (Wether- ell) Harris, married for her second husband George Denison. They had a daughter named The Kennan Family. 33 Phoebe Denison, who married Gibson Harris of !N"orwich, Conn., a son of Samuel Harris and they had a son named George Harris who married Sarah Hubbard, a daughter of Isaac Hubbard.

He bought land and located in the wilderness about two miles from the St. Lawrence River. He built a house and barn and immediately commenced to clear up a farm and make a home for himself and family. He was blessed with unusual phy- sical strength and endurance, qualities which stood him in good stead in those pioneer days. He continued to live there until about 1836, when he moved to lope's Mills in the Town of Macomb in the same County. There he operated a saw mill for a few years and then purchased a farm and engaged in farming. In 1 850 ho sold out and moved to Wisconsin and located at Mon- asha.

The Montclair Herold in an obituary notice said of him: "John Kennan, an aged resident of Montclair, and father of George Kennan, the noted Siberian traveler, lecturer and magazine writer, died Tues«kiy at the resi- dence of his daughter, Mrs. E. D. Moore. Deceased was 93 years of age. John Kennan was a son of the Rev. Thomas Ken- nan, a well-known Presbyterian clergyman, and was born at Waterbury, Vt., 1803. When quite young his father moved to St. Lawrence County, N. Y., where he lived for several years. He was most carefully edu- cated both at home and at Potsdam Academy, and was afterwards graduated with honor from Hamilton Col- lege, N. Y., in the year 1825. He then engaged in teaching, which profession he The Kennan Family. 41 followed with marked success, both at Herkimer and Little Falls, A^. Y. In October, 1828, he went to Ohio to take charge of the Norwalk Academy, at the earnest solicitation of many prominent people of the Western Reserve. At the end of two or three years, however, Mr. Kennan (not satisfied with this limited field), studied law, practiced for several years, and afterwards filled successfully the offices of Justice of the Peace, Deputy County Auditor and Treasurer of Huron County. In 1840 he was elected County Auditor, which office he filled for three successive years. At that time the county embraced both Huron and Erie Counties, IS'orwalk being the county seat. He retired from business several years ago, and for some time has been living in Montclair. Here, crowned with years and with the consciousness of a well-spent life, he passed away, leaving an aged wife, the faithful companion of 66 years, and five children, who prize above all their earthly possessions this inheritance of sterling character, unflinching in its integrity and un- faltering in the performance of eveiy duty." Mary Ann Morse, wife of John Kennan, was born in Cattaraugus County, New York, Jan. 23, 1811, and died at the residence of her daugliter in Montclair, N". J,, Feb. 14, 1898. She was a daughter of Zebediah and Clarissa J. Morse, and was related to Samuel F. B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph. While she was quite young her parents moved to Northern Ohio and settled near what is now the city of Nor- walk. She spent the greater part of her life in Nor- walk and always looked upon that city as her home and it was there that she was buried. She was a de- 42 The Kennan Family. voted wife and mother, and highly respected and much beloved by all who knew her. The children of John and Mary Ann Kennan were : 91 — 1.

Her husband bought land at what is now called Eichville Station, N. Y., and cleared up an extensive farm upon which they resided the balance of their lives. She died Feb. 25, 1879. In June 1828, when the Congregational church was organized there, she, with her husband, united and became active members.

The boy worked on his father's fann in the summer and attended school in the winter, and later showed his enterprise, as well as his eagerness, to make the most of himself by inducing some of his com- panions to club their means and engage the sei-vices of a private instructor, who could impart knowledge be- yond the scope of the average district teacher. Thoma-^ 58 The Kennan Family. made such progress that at the age of eighteen he was an- instructor himself. In 1847, he went to Norwalk,. Ohio, to study law in the office of his uncle, Jairus Ken- nan. After being admitted to the bar in 1851, he re- moved to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and began the practice of his profession. Two years later Judge WTieeler re- moved from i^Teenah to Oshkosh and formed a law part- nership with Mr. Kennan. In 1855, Mr. Kennan made another change of location to Portage, Wisconsin, having two years previously been admitted to practice in the State Supreme Court. Within a few years hiS' practice extended into adjoining counties, and he was engaged in many criminal cases and soon gained some reputation as a criminal lawyer, but this branch of the practice being distasteful to him, he abandoned it and thereafter devoted his attention to civil business. Upon the breaking out of the Civil War. Mr, Ken- nan recruited a company, and early in the fall of 18 Gl, was mustered into the service at Milwaukee as First Lieutenant of Company D. Tenth Wisconsin Infantry, and rendered efficient service in the armv of the Ten- nessee. Under the hardships and privations of active service in the South, in the summer of 1862, his health' failed and much to his regret he was obliged to resign his- commission and seek a northern climate. On his return to Wisconsin for the restoration of his health, he retired for a time to his large stock farm in Marquette County, not neglecting, however, to champ- ion with voice and pen the union cause. He was there elected President of the Loyal League, and in 1863,. received the appointment of Deputy Provost Marshall, and served the Government in that capacity until the cessation of hostilities. While living there he wa* Thf Kexnan Fame. a, 59 twice elected to the office of Town treasurer, the last time receiving every vote east in the towTi. After regaining his health he returned to Portage and resumed the practice of his profession. Within the succeeding decade he built up a large and profitable general practice, which was diverted more or less into the channels of corporation, and especially railroad law. It was during this period (in 1876) that he was ad- mitted to practice in the Supreme C^urt of the United States. In 1880 he was induced to give up his general practice and accept a position with the Wisconsin Cen- tral Railroad Company, as its attorney, and to the legal interests of this corporation Mr. Kennan devoted the following ten years of his professional life. He then resigned, in order that he might take life a little more easily and give more attention to his private aifairs. After he became attorney for the railroad company he removed to Milwaukee, in wdiich city, as also in Ash- land, Wisconsin, and Chicago, Illinois, he became largely interested in real estate; and was president of the largest real estate company in Milwaukee. Mr. Kennan has long been a member and for many years was a trustee of Immanuel Presbyterian Church ; After the church was destroyed by fire in 1887 Mr. Ken- nan with two other gentlemen were appointed a com- mittee to get up new plans and attend to having the church rebuilt. He belongs to the Wisconsin Society of Mayflower Descendants and is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and of the Society of the Co- lonial Wars. He is also a member of the Jjyja\ T^egion and of the G. A. R., and of the Masonic Fraternity (32d degree). While living in Marquette County Mr. Kennan helped to organize the first Presbyterian 60 The Kennan Family. Church at Packwaiikee and was ordained as its first ruling elder. His wife, Loa (Brown) Kennan, was the youngest daughter of Jedediah and Eunice (Branch) Browu, and was born December 18, 1829, at Borrodino, Onon- daga County, N. Y. She died in Milwaukee, October 27, 1906, after a long illness. She was a lady who was greatly beloved by all who knew her. She was a member of Immanuel Presbyterian Church and of the Woman's Club and had been a direc- tor of the Milwaukee Protestant Home for the Aged from the time of its organization.

On the day that he was six years old he sent his first message over the wires, and at twelve he became a regu- lar operator. In 1863 he was given a place in the Rus- sian-American telegraph expedition. Wliile with this expedition he spent two years in the wilds of Eastern Siberia, camping on the boundless steppes, sleeping at times in those arctic regions on the snow when the ther- mometer indicated fifty or sixty degrees below zero, by crawling into a fur bag, and at times lived in the smoky huts of the w^andering Koraks, who had never seen a white man before. During the long arctic winters he learned to travel with dog sledges and with reindeer. He studied the Russian language and is now considered one of the best Russian scholars in America. After return- ing home he published ''Tent-Life in Siberia". His ex- perience among the wandering ISTomads in Arctic Siberia was full of the wildest adventure and the hardships which he experienced tested his powers of endurance to the utmost. In 1885, he was employed by the Century Company to go to Russia and investigate the exile sys- tem as practiced there and write it up for the Century Magazine. His articles attracted great attention and were translated into many different languages and gave him a world-wide reputation. In 1891 he published a work consisting of two good sized volumes entitled "Siberia and the Exile System." As a. Avriter he has attained a hich rank and as a 76 The Kennan Family, lecturer he is among the most popular. In 1902, after the great eruption of Mont Pelee, whereby the city of St. Pierre was destroyed and 30,000 people lost their lives, Mr. Kennan went there and was the first man to make the ascent of the volcano. He scaled it to the top or to the main crater and walked down the track of the volcanic hurricane, through the Eozelane Valley, from the Grande Reduit to the sea. He studied the situation and wrote a vivid description of the terrible catastrophe. When the war broke out between Japan and Russia he was employed by the Outlook Company as its war correspondent and he went to Japan and from there to the headquarters of the Japanese Army and was at the siege of Port Arthur and remained until the war was over. He then travelled extensively through China. Before that he had made a trip around the world. 96. Harriet L.

Walter Palmer, was born in London, Eng- land, in 1585. He came to America about 1628 and located first in Salem, Mass. 'Not being satisfied to remain in Salem he and nine others started out and travelled through a pathless wilderness to a place called by the Indians, Mishawam. They remained there until the next year, when about one hundred new set- tlers came from Salem and located there. They then organized a town and called it Charlestown in honor of King Charles the First, and Walter Palmer built the first house in the new town. He afterwards became a prominent man in Massaehussetts. He was elected to the General Court and held many other offices. In 1649 he removed with his family to the new town of Stonington and became one of its earliest settlers. He died there on Nov. 10, 1661.

He went with his father's family when they moved from Charlestown to Stonington, Conn. He there married in 1672, Dorothy Gilbert, a daughter of John and Amy (Lord) Gilbert. It is stated 92 The Kennan Family. by Mr. Wheeler, in his history of Stonington, that Doro- thy Gilbert "was a direct descendant of William the Conqueror" who became King of England in 1066. If that is SO', then Leo Brown was of royal descent. 260. John Palmer, son of Moses and Dorothy (Gilbert) Palmer was born Dec. 2, 1677. He married first, Ann Chesebrough and after her death mar- ried, second, Dorothy Noyes, Dec. 26, 1728. They had a family of seven children, the fifth being the above men- tioned Abigail Palmer. 261. Aymie Lord, was a daughter of Thomas Lord of Hartford, by his wife, Dorothy. She married Capt. John Gilbert May 6, 1647, and it was their daughter Dorothy, who married Moses Palmer. Thomas Lord was born and married in Essex County, England, and he was fifty years old and his wife forty-six when they came to America. He was the ancestor of all the Lords of Connecticut. Aymie (Lord) Gilbert died Jan. 28, 1691. Capt. John Gilbert died Dec. 29, 1690. 262. Thomas Lord, with his wife and seven child- ren, came over from England in the ship "Elizabeth and Ann" April 29, 1635. The names of their children were : Thomas, William, John, Robert, Aymie and Dor- othy, the eldest being sixteen and the youngest four years old. The name of Gilbert is eminent in the annals of church, state and learning through several centuries in England. The principal home of the Gilbert family was in Devonshire. The Gilberts were of knightly rank and their ancient seat is described as pleasantly situated with a most delightful prospect.

A brief summary of tlie line of descent of Sally Lathrop from Elder William Brewster, with a short sketch of the life of the latter was given in the forepart of this book. As she was a direct descendant of said William Brewster who came over to America wnth the Pilgrims, on the Mayflower, her descendants are entitled to join the Society of Mayflower Descendants and will no doubt be pleased to have her genealogy given more fully. 304. Jonathan Brewster, son of William and Mary Brewster, was bom at Scrooby, England, on the 12th of August, 1593. He went to Holland with his father and the others who were forced to leave England on account of having separated from the English church ; He re- mained in Holland about twelve years and then emi- grated to America. He came over in the Fortune, and arrived on the 10th day of November, 1621. He was married to Lucretia Oldham, at Plymouth, on the 10th of April, 1624. He removed from Plymouth to Dux- bury, Mass., about 1630. He was elected a Deputy to the General Court of Plymouth Colony, in the years 1639-41-43 and 44. He later moved from Diixbuvy to New London, Conn. He was Deputy to the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut in the years 1650- 55-56-57 and 1658. He died on the 7th of Angnst 1659, 102 The Kennan Family. and was buried in the old CenLetery on Brewster Plain, in the town of I^orwich, where, it is said, the foot stone which marked his grave is still standing. 305. Lucretia Oldham, the wife of Jonathan Brew- ster, was born in England in the town of Darby and was one of that band of Pilgrims who came over to this country on the Mayflower. She died on the 4th of March,, 1678. In speaking of her, in her history of !N"ew London, Miss Caulkins says: "She was evidently a woman of note and respectability among her compeers" and says further that "she was one of the first band of Pilgrims that arrived on the Mayflower, Dec. 21, 1620, being a member of the family of Elder William BreAv- ster." Some authorities in giving a list of the passengers who came over on the Mayflower do not mention her name, but in the list given by Richard Henry Greene, Historian, of the Society of the Descendants of the Mayflower, in Vol. 1, Lucretia Oldham is mentioned as No. 3 in the family of Eider Brewster. Anne Arnoux Haxtun, the distinguished genealogist, in her "May- flower Compact" says the same. Her name is also men- tioned as one of the passengers in Shurtliff's list in the Historical and Genealogical Register. There is no dis- pute about the fact that she was bom in England, and was married in America in 1624, to Jonathan Brewster and there is no record that she came over in any other ship. Jonathan Brewster and his wife had several children and among them a daughter named 306. Grace Brewster, who was bom at Duxbury, Mass., on the 1st day of l!^ovember, 1639, being the 7th f^hild born in that place. She died on the 22nd day of The Kennan Family. 103 May, 1711. She was married on the 4th of August, 1659, to 307. Capt. Daniel Wetherell. He was born on the 29th of N'ov. 1630, in Maidstone, Kent, Enghmd. He died on the 14th day of April, 1719, in the 89th year of his age. He was a. son of William Wetherell. He lived in New London, Conn., and it is said of him that from 1680 tO' 1710 "he was the most prominent man in the town and filled many offices such as Town Clerk, Moderator, Justice, Judge of Probate, and Judge of the County Court. No man stood higher in point of talent and integrity." He held the appointment of Collector of the Port and was the last one to hold that office by colonial authority. Daniel Wetherell and Mr. Avei7 visited Uncas, a wary and powerful Indian chief to try to find out his intentions as to whether he proposed to become an ally of the French or of the English. This was on the 28th of June, 1675. They returned with apprehensions that Uncas intended to enter into league with King Philip. Capt. Wetherell immediately wrote to Gov. Wynthrt.p and in one of his letters said : ''We have reason to be- lieve that most of his men are gone that way, for he hath very few at home; 'tis certain he hath lately had great correspondence with Philip and many presents hath passed." On the 24th of Jime hostilities com- menced, several houses were burned by the Indians and a thrill of horror ran through the community. Cajit. Wetherell wrote urgently to Gov. Wynthrop on the 29ili and again on the 30th of June for assistance. In one of his letters to Gov. W}Tithrop he says, "It is reported that Philip is very near us and expects further assistance from Uncas. We have gi-eat reason to believe that Th<>ro 10-1 The Kennan Family. is a universal combination of the Indians and fear you cannot aid us timely. We are calling in all outlivers, and shall, by God's assistance, do our best for our de- fense, but hope that your Honor with the rest of the Honorable Council, will dispatch present supplies for cur aid." The year 1675 brought with it the gloom and terror of an Indian war. The whole country was terror stricken with the news that a wide spread comlunation of Wampanoagas, E"arragansetts and other Indian tribes had been formed, with the desig-n and hope of exter- minating the white race from the land. The United (Colonists seemed to have been pervaded with ihc idea that a crisis in their existence had arrived Avhich de- manded bold and immediate measures. To meet this crisis they determined on a winter campaign, in which an overpowering force should be sent into the thickets of ISTarragansett, to attack the lion in his den. An army of one thousand men was raised from the several towns. Great exertions were made to raise the necessary amount of provisions and all the munitions of war. Mr. Wether- ell was the active magistrate, Joshua Raymond com- missary. Indians who were to act with the whites were fitted out with caps and stockings. The town was fur- nished with a quantity of powder, bullets and flints and a stand of arms. At length there was an impressment of beef, pork, corn and rum, horses and carts, and the ai-my started out on its expedition. These troops, forming a junction with the troops from the other colo- nies, were engaged in the fearful swamp fight at l^arra- gansett Dec. 19th, 1675. A complete victory was here attained over the savage foe, but at great expense of life on both sides. The number of Indians killed on The Kennan Family. lO-^ the side of the enemy was estimated at nearly one thuu- saud. Of the English army two hundred were killed 2nd wounded. In the winter of 1675-6 another army was raised of one thousand men. In May tlie General Court at New London authorized the enlistment of three hundred and fifty men as a standing army. This force which was under command of Maj. Talcott was almost imme- diately ordered into the field. Mr. Wetherell and :Mr. iJouglas were the commissaries, and Kew Ivondon the depot for supplies. Capt. George Denison had com- mand of the company raised in New London. In April 1685, Mr. Wetherell was one of the three judges on. the bench for trial of offences and several parties were tried and sentenced to be whipped and some "fined. In 1G98 Mr. Wetherell seems to have been the presiding judge of the County Court for the trial of Kogers. 308. Mary Wetheeell, daughter of Capt. Daniel and Grace (Brewster) Wetherell was born in New Lon- don on the 7th day of Oct. 1668. She married first Thomas Han-is who died in Barbadoes ou the 9th June, 1691. He left an estate valued at 927 pounds. In 1694 she married for her second husband George Denison, a lawyer in New London. He was bom at Stonington, Conn., on the 28th of March, 1671. He was the son of John Denison who married Phoebe Lay of Saybrook and was a grandson of Capt. George Denison of Stonington and Ann (Borrodell) Denison. He graduated from Harvard College in 1693. His wife died at New London on the 22nd of May, 1711, and he died on the 20th of Jan. 1720. They had a daughter named 106 The Kennan Family. 309. Phoebe Denison^ born at ^ew London the 3rcl day of March 1697. She was married to Gibson Harris on the 12th day of Jan. 1720. The marriage contract and settlement between her father, John Deni- son and Gibson Harris may still be seen on record at Saybrook. The father, John Denison, was a son of Capt, George Denison, ^vho was born in England in 1618, and died at Hartford, Conn., the 23rd day of October, 1694. He was the youngest son of William Denison, a gentle- man of means and education who was born at Stratford^. Hertfordshire, England in 1571. This traces this line of our ancestors back to that early date. Wm. Denison came to America in 1631 in the ship "Lion" bringing with him his wife, Margaret, and his sons, Daniel and George, and John Eliot (the Apostle to the Indians) as family tutor. Wm. Denison settled in Eoxbury, Mass., and became deacon of the first church organized in that town. Capt. George Denison lived with his father until 1640, when he married Bridget Thompson, born 11th Sept. 1622, daughter of John Thompson, Gentleman, of Preston, Northhampton Shire, Eng. Capt. Denison's wife died in 1643 and shortly after her death he v.ent back to England and enlisted in a Kegiment of Horse under Cromwell in the army of Parliament, He won distinction for bravery in this sei-vice and was wounded at the battle of York. While sick with his wounds, he was taken, to the house of John Borrodell, whose daugh- ter Ann nursed him. He fell in love with Ann and when he recovered from his wounds, married her and taking his wife with him he returned to America. On arriving, he settled in Koxbury. Here he was chosen Captain, and is described as "A young soldier lately come out of The Kennan Familv. 107 the wars of England." In 1651 he settled in New Loq- don and moved from there in 1G54 to Stonington where he became the leader of the settlement. He has been called the Miles Standish of the settlement, but he was a greater and more brilliant man than Miles Standish, and he was one of the ablest men in all the colonies for conducting a campaign against the Indians and for many years he was almost constantly engaged in fights and forays against them. It is said he was the most distingiiished soldier in Conn., in her early settlement next to Major John Mason. He was commissioned Lieutenant in October, 1G56, in Stonington, and Cap- tain of Volunteers in 1689. He held many important positions in the colony. In 1776 he was appointed Pro- vost Marshall and later was appointed a deputy of the General Court and while attending the General Court in 1694 he died. He was one of the ancestors of Admiral George Dewey. 310. John Borrodell, the father of Ann, was a native of Cork, Ireland, but during the commonwealth times he was living in England. It has been claimed that he was an Irish Lord, but that claim is only sup- ported by tradition. Ann Denison was always called Lady Anne, but whether from descent or from personal bearing and worth, is not known. 311. Lieut. Gibson Harris who married Phoebe Denison, was born at New London, C6nn., on the 20th of April, 1694, and died at Norwich on the 18th day of February, 1761. He was the third son of Samuel Harris and Elizabeth (Gibson) Harris, and a grandson of Gabriel and Elizabeth (Ablwt) Harris, and a great- grandson of Walter Harris, who came to America from England in 1631 in the "William and Francis." It i^ 108 The Kennan Family. said that the Harris family was composed for the most part of people of wealth and prominence. Gibson Harris received a commission as First Lieu- tenant of the Trainband in Xorwich in May, 1739. He settled on a farm in May 1726 at New Concord later called Bozrah. 312. Samuel Harris, son of Gabriel Harris by hi& second wife, Elizabeth Abbot, was bom Jnly 14, 1666. He married Elizabeth Gibson Aug. 5th, 16 — . The first record of Walter Harris, the American ancestor, is found in a large volume of Vellum at the Rolls Office Chan- cery Lane, London. The title reads : '^A Book of Entry for Passengers by Ye Commission and Souldiers Pass- ing beyond the Seas." Among the list of names of the men who embarked for America w^ere the names of Wal- ter Harris and Edmond Wynslow afterwards famous in the history of the Massachusetts Colony. The ship ''William and Francis" arrived at Boston upon the 5th of June, 1632. The Harris family settled at Wey- mouth, Mass., shortly after they reached this country. Walter acquired a large landed estate called the Harris estate to this day. While at Weymouth, he married Mary Fry. In 1649 he removed to Dbrchester and in 1652 we find him in ISTew London. Walter Harris died on the 29th of January, 1656, and his widow survived him but three months. The will of Mary Harris is said to be one of the oldest extant in America. The will men- tions the two sons Gabriel and Thomas. Gabriel went to IN'ew London with his father and on March 1654 mar- ried Elizabeth Abbot at the town of Guilford. Early in the 3^ear a ship from England bound for New FTaven put in at New London for shelter and, anchored near the lonely dwelling of the Harris family, which stood upon The Kennan Family. 109 the Riverside. Gabriel went off in his fishing boat and invited the immigrants to his father's house. The Avhole party accordingly landed, and a great part of the night was spent in feasting and hilarity. One of the immi- grants was a young woman, to whom Gabriel was so assi- duous and successful in his attentions, that when the paiiy returned to the vessel they were bethrothed lovers. Some, indeed relate that a clerg-yman or magistrate was present, and the young couple were actually mar- ried that night. But the more reliable tradition is to the effect that the immigrants went on their way, and the young man shortly afterwards rigged up and painted his father's pinnace and following the wake of the vessel through the Sound, came back merrily, bringing a bride and her household gear. 313. Thomas Harris, who died in Barabadoes in 1691, left quite an estate, and his only child, Mary, who was born in 1690, was regarded as the richest heiress in the settlement. She married in 1712 Walter Butler. Gabriel Harris lived near his father and died in 1684. He participated in the colonial wars against the Indians. Gibson and Phoebe (Denison) Harris, had a son named 314. George Harris, bom at ISTew London, 21st of Aug. 1720. He died at Canaan, K. H., about 1791. He married Sarah Hubbard, a daughter of Isaac Hub- bard of Wyndsor, Conn., Aug. 15th, 1749. She died on the 8th of Dec. 1757. After the death of his first wife George Harris mar- ried Ann Lathrop Dec. 2, 1760. He removed from New London to Canaan in 1766, in company with Thomas Minor, Joshua Harris, John Scofield, Samuel Jones and 110 The Kennan Family. Samuel Meacliem, all Connecticut men and the first settlers. They took up a large tract of land and or- ganized a town. George Harris was the leading man in the settlement and was for a number of years chosen se- lectman of the town. The Harris family have been pro- minent in that state for many years and they were evi- dently people of rank in England for the Coat of Arms of the family hung in the old homestead in America for more than a century. The above mentioned Sarah Hubbard was born at Norwich or Windsor about 1734. Her father Isaac Hubbard was commissioned Captain of the 7th Mili- tary Company in the town of Windsor about Oct., 1749. He was a son of John and Mary (Merriam) Hubbard. There were five Revolutionary War patriots in the family, namely: Isaac, Nehemiah, Jr., Elisha, David and Jacob Hubbard. George Harris died at Canaan about 1791. In his will he mentions Saeah as one of his daughters. The above metioned Sarah Hubbard was a descendant of George Hubbard of England, who mar- ried Mary Bishop. She died in Guilford, Conn., Sept. 14, 1675. She was the daughter of John and Anna Bis- hop. Mr. Bishop first located at Wethersfield and then in 1639 removed to Guilford, Conn. He was one of the original proprietors of the town and died there in 1661. 315. John Hubbard a son of George and Mary (Bishop) Hubbard was born in England about 1630 and came tO' America with his parents in 1633. He married Mary Merriam about 1649. He lived in Hadley a number of years. He removed from there to Hatfield and died there at the house of his son Isaac in 1702. They had children, Mary, John, Hannali, Jonathan, Daniel, Mercy, Isaac^ and Sarah. The Kennan Family. Hi He owned what was known aa the "Hubbard Lots" or three mile lots bordering on the Connecticut Kiver at South Glastonbury. He left the lots to his son John^ who was born in Weathersfield, 12th of April, 1655. John added largely to his possession by the purchase of the George Wyllis tract of 185 acres. 316. John Hd.bard (2nd) married Mary Wright, daughter of Thomas Wright, who lived on Wright's Island in the Connecticut River. He was a member of the Legislature from 1700 to 1724, their children were John, Isaac^ David, Ephraim and Sarah. Their son. Isaac was bom at Glastonbury in 1679. He re- ceived land from his father in 1725. He is supposed to have removed to Ellington, Ct., and died there. He married about the year 1700, Hannah Dickenson and had Isaac, bom 1701, and Hannah, born 1703. 317. Isaac Hubbard, (2nd), son of Isaac and Han- nah (Dickenson) Hubbard, owned land in Glastonbury in 1736. He married Hannah Goodrich of Tolland, Ct., and had Isaac, (3rd) bom 1728, George, date of birth not known, Honore, bom 1734 and Sarah, born 1735 and Hezekiah, born 1737. The above named Sarah Hubbard, daughter of Isaac and Hannah (Goodrich) Hubbard, man-ied George Harris as above stated, Aug. 15, 1749. CHILDREN BY THIS MARRIAGE WERE: 48—1. Lucy, bom Dec. 18, 1751. Married George Walworth. 49 — 2. Joshua, bom May 10, 1754. 50—3. Mary, bom July 3, 1735. 51—4. Sarah, born Feb. 14. 1757. 112 The Kennan Family. Sarah Hubbard married first Denisou Lathrop, son of Capt. Elisha Lathrop, by liis second wife. They had a daughter Sally Lathrop who married Kev. Thomas Kennan. Sarah Hubbard Lathrop was my great grand- mother and I visited her at Kidgeville, Ohio, in 1848. I was at that time studying law with my uncle Jairus Kennan, at JSTorwalk, Ohio. She was remarkably bright and active for one of her age at that time. She died there on the 23rd day of December, 1852, aged 95 years. The descent of grandmother Sally Lathrop, from the Rev. John Lathrop, was as follows : Rev. John Lathrop was baptized in Etten, York- shire, Dec. 20th, 1584. He was educated in Queens Col- lege, Cambridge, England. He was marticulated in 1601, graduated B.A. in 1605 and M.A. in 1609. For a number of years he was minister in an English church, but later he joined the Independents. He was soon after called to preach in the First Independent Church in London. The King threatened to harass the Separatists or Independents, as they were called, out of his kingdom, or do worse, and he did. They had to worship in secret places, but they were discovered and he and a large number of his congregation were arrested and put in prison. He was kept in prison two years, during which time his wife died. This circumstance having awakened public sympathy in his behalf, he was released froan prison on condition that he would leave the country. This offer he gladly accepted and in 1634 he and a large number of his congregation came to America and landed at Scituate, Mass. His only offense was not preaching the doctrines of the English church and non-conformance with its forms. He preached in The Kennan Family. 113 Scituate a few years and then removed tx) Barnstable, Mass., where he preached until he died, Nov. 8th, 1653. Mr. Otis in writing of him said: "John Lathrop and his followers were held by the people to be martyrs in the cause of Independency. No persecutions, no severity, that tlieir enemies could inflict caused him, or them to waver. They submitted without a murmer to loss of property, to imprisonment in loathsome jails, and to be separated for two years from their families and friends rather than to subscribe to the fdrms of wor- ship that King Charles and his bigoted prelates endeav- ored to force on their consciences. No pastor was ever more beloved by his people and none ever had greater in- fluence for good." 52. Samuel Lathrop, a son of Rev. John Lath- rop, was born in England, and came with his father to Scituate in 1634, thence to Barnstable, where he mar- ried Nov. 28, 1644, Elizabeth Scudder, who had se- cured her dismissal from the church in Boston Nov. 10, 1644, in order that she might transfer her membership to the church in Barnstable. She is reported in Savage's Dictionary as having been a sister to that John Scudder who was in Barnstable in 1640. Samuel Lathrop made the acquaintance of Miss Scudder in Boston, where he had commenced his business as a contractor and house- builder. Later he engaged also in extensive fanning operations. Their marriage was recorded by his father. Rev. John Lathrop, on the Barnstable Church register as follows: "My son Samuel and Elizabeth Scudder married at my house by Mr. Freeman, Nov. 28, 1644." They settled in Barnstable, where their house stood next to that of John Scudder. 114 The Kennan Family. Samuel Lathrop is reported in 1643, as one of the five Lathrops at Barnstable "liable to bear arms." In 1648 he removed to New London, Connecticut, then called Pequot. We now find Mr. Lathrop men- tioned in two letters from Governor Winthrop to his son John, Jr., at Pequot. In one of these bearing date August 14, 1648, on the subject of obtaining a minister for the settlement, he writes : "Your neighbor Lathrop came not at me (as expected) to advice about it," etc. His "house lot" in the new plantation was the third in order from that of John Winthrop, Jr., Esq., and his name is found among the first eighteen to whom were assigned lands on the east side of the "great river" of Pequot, and for these the lots were drawn on the 17th and 31st of January, 1648-9. Almost at once Mr. Lathrop was assigned by his new townsmen to positions of responsibility and honor. The General Court of the State, in May, 1649, organized a local court at Pequot, having for its judges John Winth- rop, Esq., Samuel Lathrop and Thomas Minor, giving them power to sit in the trial of all causes between the inhabitants in which the differences were under forty shillings. In 1650 he appears with fifteen other townsmen in town meeting "to arrange a system of co-operation with Mr. Winthrop in establishing a mill to grind com." He also received a large grant of land on the west side of the Pequot river north of the settlement. It was about five miles up the river at a place called Na- mussuck. A farm of 260 acres at this place remained in the family until 1735, when it was sold by his grandson I^athaniel, after settling all claims, for 2,300 pounds. His "cattle marks" were recorded before 1650. The Kennan Family. 115 When, in 1657, Uncas, routed by the Narragansertts, had been chased into the fort at the head of the Nahan- tiek and was there besieged, Lieut. James Avery, Elder Brewster, Samuel Lathrop and others, well armed, fought their way into the fort and aided in defence. Samuel Lathrop sold his town homestead in IGGl to the Eev. Gershom Bulkley. This house stood beyond the bridge over the mill brook, on the east side of high- way toward Mohegan, "probably where in 1852 stood the Hallam House." In 1679 is recorded a contract of Mr. Lathrop for building the Second Church in 'New London. He removed to Norwich in 1668. Miss Caulkins, in her history of Norwich says : "After the first thirty- eight proprietors the next inhabitants who came in as grantees of the town are John Elderkin and Samuel Lathrop." A house lot was first granted to John Elder- kin, who, finding it too far from his business, conveyed it to Samuel Lathrop. Mr. Lathrop appears to have erected a house on the town street before 1670, which from that time became his home. The house built by Dr. Daniel Lathrop, his great-grandson, about 1745, probably stands upon the same site later owned by Mrs. Gilman. The house lot of about seven acres on which he settled, covered mainly that hill side enclosed by the streets and lanes, which in 1852, was south of the resi- dence of Daniel W. Coit, Esq., and extending down to the present main street. To this house lot, Samuel Lathrop, added, during his life time, successive tracts of land amounting in all to about four hundred acres. After the death of his first wife, he married, in 1690, in Plymouth, Mass., a maiden lady, Abigail 116 The Kennan Family. Doane the daughter of Deacon John Doane of Plymouth. She was born Jan. 29, 1632, and lived until 1734. Sam- uel Lathrop died February 29, 1700. The following notice of the second Mrs. Lathrop is found in Miss Caui- kin's history of Norwich : ''On her hundreth birthday a large audience assembled at her house, and a sermon was preached by the pastor of the Church. At this time she retained in a great degree the intelligence and viva- city of her earlier years. At the time of her decease the descendants of her husband amounted to 365." 53. Israel Lathrop, a son of the above named Samuel Lathrop, was born in October 1659, and married April 8th, 1686, Rebecca Bliss, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Bliss who went from Saybrook to Norwich. Her grandfather was Thomas Bliss, Sen. of Hartford. They settled in Norwich, Connecticut. Israel was a man of wordly thrift and had a family of enterprising sons who are said to have settled themselves on seven hills within the old nine mile square of Norwich. He died March 28, 1733, and his wife died Aug. 22, 1737. His headstone in the old Norwich Town burial groimd is the oldest one now there with an inscription on it. It gives us this tribute to his worth : "Here lies buried ye body of Mr. Israel Lathrop, ye husband of Mrs. Rebecca Lathrop, who lived a life of exemplary piety and left ye earth for Heaven, March ye 28, 1733, in the 73 years of his age." His sister Abigail Lathrop, born May 1665, married Dec. 9, 1686, John Huntington and their daughter Martha Huntington, born Dec. 9, 1696, married Noah Grant and they were the ancestors of President Ulyssus S. Grant. 54. Samuel Lathrop, a son of Israel Lathrop and The Kennan Family. 117 Rebecca Bliss, was born in Norwich, on the 12th of July, 1692, and married 26th June, 1712, Elizabeth Waterman. He was commissioned Captain of the sec- ond trainband in the town of Norwich in 1724. Elisha Lathrop, son of Samuel Lathrop, was bom on the 13th of July, 1713, and married on the 31st day of January, 1732, Margaret Sluraan, who died on the 10th of October, 1742. For his second wife he married on the 23rd day of January, 1743, Hannali Hough, a daughter of Captain John Hough, by his wife Hannah Denison. They first settled in Bozrah, but afterwards removed to Lebanon, N. H. He was a Cap- tain in the military service, and often honored by his fellow^ townsmen, both in Bozrah and in Lebanon by being elected to ofiice. He was killed in Lebanon by the falling of a tree on the 2nd of July, 1787. Denison Lathrop, a son of Captain Elisha Lathrop, by his second wife, was born in Norwich on the 21st day of July, 1753. He married Sarah Harris, a daughter of George Harris, it is supposed about 1773. They had a daughter, Sally Lathrop, bom in 1774, who married Rev. Thomas Kennan at Waterbury, Vermont, on tlie 19th day of February, 1795, as heretofore mentioned. The following is a copy of the record of their mar- riage: 118 The Kennan Family. STATE OF VERMONT, ) Chittenden County, ) Be it remembered that at Waterbury in the County of Chittenden on this 19th day of February in the year of Our Lord 1795, Thomas Kennan and Sally Lathrop both of said Waterbury, were duly joined in marriage. By me, Ezra Butleb, Justice of the Peace. A true copy of the record. Attest, James K. Fulleeton, Town Cleric, A. D. 1899. ♦The Lathrops were people of rank in England. There was two forms of the Lathrop coat of arms, one crest as shown on the tombstone of Capt. Lathrop, who was killed by the Indians in 1675, is a fighting cock: proper. Another crest is a cornish chough: proper. One form of the arms is: A gyronny of eight, azure and gules, an eagle displayed, argent. The Kennan Family. 119 CHAPTER VIII. William Kennan, was born in Virginia in 1775, and his sister Fanny Maitland Kennan, was born July 24th, 1773. She married Capt. Thomas Marshall of Virginia in 1790. About two or three years after that Captain Marshall went down the Ohio River as far as Mays- ville, Kentucky, and located there or in that vicinity, and her brother William Kennan went with them. He married a Miss Gardner. He was afterwards the first sheriff and first repi-esentative elected from Fleming County, Kentucky. I had supposed that he and his sis- ter were decendants of Richard Kennon who came over from the old country and located in Virginia at a very early day; but this Williaiii Kennan and his decend- ants all spell the name "Kennan" while Richard Ken- non and his children spelled the name "Kennon". There was also a Mary Ann Kennan married in 178G to Ben- jamin Guerard, Esq., at Port Royal or Charlestown, and her name at that time was spelled "Kennan." Whether she was a descendant of Richard Kennon or not I am unable to say. William Kennan was a prospei'ous business man and accumulated a small fortune. About two years before he died he went on horseback to Missouri and purchased at the Triggs Sale of land three thousand acres of land for his children. Samuel Kennan, his youngest son, moved to ^lis- Bouri and settled on the land left him by his father. He 120 The Kennan Family. had a son named William H. Kennan, who is a lawyer in Mexico, Mo. William H. Kennan was born on the 16th of September, 1837, in Boone County, Missouri. On the second of November, 1871, he married Cordelia Portia Jenkins, born in 1845. She died November 27th, 1893. He was a member of the Legislature in Missouri in 1885. City Attorney in 1870 and 1871, and Judge Advocate on Gov. Stone's staff with the rank of Brig. General in 1893. Both he and his wife were members of the First Baptist Church. TIIEIE CiriLDEEN, ALL, BORN TTC MEXICO, MO., WERE: 1. Mary Hardin Kennan, born Sept. 21, 1872. Married William D. Mason, Nov. 18, 1903. 2. Harriet Rogers Kennan, born Dec. 5, 1874. 3. Carrie Jenkins Kennan, bom Feb., 1876. 4. Florence Maitland Kennan, bom Dec. 28, 1878. 5. Churchill Bayord Kennan, born April 2, 1881. George P. Kennan, son of the above named Samuel Kennan, was born on the 7th of May, 1848, in Boone County, Mo. Married 18th September, 1879, Susan Gorrord of Lawreneeville, Illinois, bom June 14th, 1855, at Paris, Kentucky. They axe members of the First Presbyterian Church. He is a merchant at Hot Springs Arkansas. THEIR CHILDREN ARE: 1. Matilda Cobum Kennan, bom Oct. 1, 1880. 2. William Gorrord Kennan, bora Oct. 11, 1882. It is very interesting to look back over the three hundred years covered by this genealogy and see who the ancestors of the Kennan family were, and observe the part acted by them in the great drama of life. Wonderful changes have taken place during that time ; The Ken nan Family. 121 and great events have occurred with which they were identified. I think we have a right to feel some pride in hav- ing descended from the valliant pioneers who laid the foundation of our great Republic, and in the fact that our ancestors, helped to achieve its independence. We honor them for their undaunted courage, their stem integrity, and their loyalty to their convictions. May their hollowed memory be perpetuated down the ages. r INDEX Page.
