Early in the seventeenth century, Jacol) Galusha, when about eight years old, was abducted fi'oni AVales by persons interested in an estate to which he was hkely to become an heir. He was sent to Xew England, settled near Plymouth, Mass., and became the ancestor of a numerous family. He had two sons, Jacob and Daniel. Daniel, the younger of them, had three sons, Jacob, Daniel and Jonas. Jacob married Lydia Huntington, daughter of Matthew Huntington of Preston, Ct., and a relative of Gov. Samuel Huntington. He was a farmer and black- smith, in moderate circumstances, l)ut of unblemished character, sound judgment, and much native shrewd- ness. They had five sons, the third of whom, f Jonas, afterwards governor of Yermont, was born in Norwich, Ct. 11 February 1758.* When he was less than three ".laci.l. Caliolia lia.I f.

In ir69, Jacob Galnsha and his family removed to Salisbui-y, Ct., and thence in the spring of 1775, to Shaftsbnry, Vt. * ]S[one of his sons had recei^'ed any education, except the very limited one that was afforded by the common schools of that period; but their strength of mind and energy of character soon made them leading men in the to^Yn, and to some extent in the State. David, the eldest of the brothers, was the representative of Shaftsbnry in 1779. Jacob, the second, was elected town clerk in 1781:, and held the office forty-one years. He was also justice of the peace for a long term, and the representative of Shaftsbnry, for ten consecutive years, 1801-1811. t Amos, the fourth, served in the revolutionary army, and, during the administrations of Jefferson and Madison, rendered them very efficient support by his contributions to the periodical press. J Soon after his removal to Shaftsbnry, Jonas Galusha set up a shop for making nails, and also carried on a farm for his brother David. He became at length a farmer on his own accoiuit, and pursued that employ- ment through life, except as he Avas withdrawn from it by official engagements.

Notwithstanding his constant em])loy- ment on the farm, he found opportunity to add to his stock of knowledge b}^ reading, and to cidtivate })ractical wisdom by observation and rejection. When the revolutionary struggle commenced, he took an active ])art in favor of the independence ol' the colonies. He was a member of a company, com- manded by his brother David, in Col. Seth AVarner's I'cgiment of Green Mountain Boys, and did service in Canada in the fall of 177o. Prior to the battle of Bennington, 10 August 1777, two companies of militia had been organized in Shaftsbury, one of them under his captaincy, the other iniderthat of Amos Hunting- ton ; but Captain Huntington being taken prisoner at Ticonderoga, the two companies were consolidated under Capt. Galusha. When he received orders from Col. Moses Kobinson to march his company to Ben- nington, he was sick in bed, recovering from a ie^'er, but he promptly called out his men and led them to the scene of action. On the day of the battle, his company had occasion, on account of a bend in tlie Walloomsac Kiver, to ford the river twice, on their way to attack Baunfs rear. He Avas so weak that, at the first crossing, a soldier insisted u[)on carrying him over, but (!xcite- ment gave him such strength that he crossed the second ford without assistance, and was in tlie hottest of the battle during the rest of the day. After Baum 6 Jonas Oalnsha: was defeated, and the victors were resting from their fatigue, or w(ii-e scattered about the held, gathering lip the spoils, Bnrgoyne came up with reinforcements, and the Green Mountain Boys were compelled to fight and win the battle a second time. During this second struggle, he was brought within easy range of one of Burgoyne's pieces of artillery, from which two heavy charges of grape-shot were sent all around him, fur- rowing the ground at his feet, and cutting the bushes at each side of him and over his head, but leaving him unscathed. * He continued in active military service till the surrender of Burgoyne, on which occasion he was present at the head of his company; and at several other times he, with his company, was under arms for a few days or weeks, as approaching danger might require. In October 1778, when not quite twenty-six years old, he married Mary Chittenden, daughter of Ctov. Thomas Chittenden, by whom he had five sons and four daughters, t In March 1781 he was elected Sherifl:' of the County of Bennington. The duties of the ofl[ice at that early period of the history of Vermont were onerous and perplexing to the very last degree.

The laws, too, foi- the collection of del)ts were very severe, n(jtonly subjecting all the debtor's property, except the barest necessaries, to attachment and execution, but making his person liable to impi-isonment, with no possibility of release but by paying the debt. * The criminal laws were also cruel and inhuman. Among the punish- ments Avhich they authorized were, whipping, setting in the stocks, cutting off the ears, and branding with a red-hot iron, f There is still extant in the Secretary of State's office, an account of Jonas (lalusha against the State, to the amount of .^10, 4s.

Besides these things, of themselves sufficient to make the office of sheriff* disagreeable to a man of ordinary sensibilities, there were at that time [)oliti- cal disturbances which greatly increased the laboi-s and responsibilities of the office, and made it still nioic irksome.

Conciliatory measures having failed to bring these men to submission, a coercive policy was adopted. Several of the leaders were arrested, tried by tlie Supreme Court, and banished from the State, under penalty of death if they returned. One of these had accepted from Gov. Clinton of JN^ew Yoi-k a commis- sion as Sherift' of Cumberland County, and two others had accepted commissions as Colonel and Lt. Colonel of an imaginary regiment of militia in the same County. After their lianishment, they were encouraged by Gov. (jUnton, with promises of support and military protect- ion, to return to Vermont, defy its authority, and attempt to overthrow its govornmem. From time to time, as they made themselves obnoxious, they were arrested, and committed to jail in Bennington; and during most of the year 1783 and a })art of 178^, one or more of them was almost continually in jail. They Avere allowed the free use of their pens, and used them freely in letters and newspaper articles defaming the sheriff, jailer, and all other Vermont officials, and laboring to excite popular sympathy in their own iavor. It was not a little to Mr. Galusha'"s credit that, in the midst of pecnliar trials and responsibilities, he so acquitted himself in the Sheriff's office as to command the confidence of the government and people, and to retain the office till he parted with it by voluntary resignation. There was in his character a blending of the energetic with the urbane, by which he commended Fifth OoVi'i'nor of VcrmonL ff himself to all witli Avhom lio had otlicial iiitercoui'se. He had an instinctive knowledge of luunan nature, and so great skill in managing men that he rarely failed of bringing the most I'efraetory to liis own terms. On one occasion when lie went to seive a process, the respondent seized an axe, and swore he would take the sheritrs life sooner than l)e arrested. Mr. Galusha was unarmed, exce[)t with a slender stick, but assured the man that he would teach him better than to threaten his life, and would have him in irons in less than an hour. P^u'tly by reasoning and partly by jesting, he talked the axe out of the man's hand, and accomphshed the arrest within the time limited. On another occasion, the respondent armed himself with a w^alnut club, and backed into a corner of the i-oom, declaring that he Avould not be taken. " Yes, you will," replied (xalusha, " but Fni in no hurry." '^JSTo, '' was the quick response, "I will not be taken alive.'' "Then," said Galusha, "you need to be better armed than with a club. I will give you a chance to get your gun and bayonet, and then I'll take you; but I'm sorry to say that I've nothing l)ut a sunnnons to take you with.'' The man, ashamed of having made such a demonstration against a harmless writ of summons, speedily threw down his w^eapon and submitted to the process. One of the last of his official acts w\as the disjjcrsal of a party of "Shay's men," wdio, upon the suppression of Shay's rebellion in Massachussets, tied to A^ermont early in 1787, and called a meeting at Shaftsbury, for the purpose of setting on foot a similar movement in this State. Mr. Galusha, in company with Gideon Olin, and other prominent citizens, attend- 10 Jonas Oalusha: ed the meeting, warned them of the danger to which they were exposing themselves by tlieir illegal pro- ceedings, and notified them to quit the town forthwith. In the spring of 1787, he resigned the office, having held it six years. He was not again in public life till 1792, when he was elected a member of the second Council of Censors, the first that met after the admission of Vermont into the Union. This body proposed several material changes in the Constitution, among which were the establish- ment of a Senate, and of an advisory Council of four, and the limitation of the right of representation to towns having not less than forty families. He used all his influence in favor of these propositions, both in the Council and with the people, but none of them secured the popular assent. In 1793 he was elected a member of the Governor's Council, a body of twelve men, clothed with powers which rendered it nearly equivalent to a co-ordinate branch of the legislature. By successive elections, he held this* office six years, 1793-98. In the mean time, his Avife had died, and he had married, as his second wife, Patty Sammons, daughter of Tun.othy Sammons of Huntington, L. I. * In 1795 he was elected an assistant Judge of Ben- nington County Court, and held the office three years. The legislature of 1798, which met at Yergennes, was strongly federal in politics, and as that party had not been in power for many years, its appetite for office had become ravenous in the extreme.

Fifth Governor of Vermont. 9 federalists, with such an unsparing band, that tlie place, where the sessions of this body were held, was long known by the name of " the Yergennes slaughter- house." Mr. Galusha was one of the vietims, but when his party regained the ascendency in 1800, he was restored to the judgeship, and i-emained in the oliice seven 3'ears, 1800-00. Having been a frequent attendant upon the sessions of the legislature, be was asked why he never came as representative. '' Because the freemen do not advise me to," was his rej^ly. In 1800, however, the freemen of Shaftsbiny gave him that advice, and he took bis seat in the House ol" Representatives, but on the morning of tbe second day he resigned his seat, informing the House that he had been elected a Councillor, and had accepted the office. He remained a member of the Council seven successive years, 1800-06. He was elected a Judge of the Supreme Court in 1807 and again in 1808. This was perhaps the highest tribute that could have been paid to his sound judgment and incorruptible integrity, for he had none of the legal learning usually regarded as an indispen- sable qualification for that office. His associates on the bench were Judges Tyler and Harrington, both of them remarkable men; the former for his classical learning, high literary culture, ready wit, and prolific authorship; the latter for his prodigious native powers of mind and his entire lack of cultivation. Judge Galusha occupied a position betwx^en the two, having neither the polish of Tyler, nor the strength of Harrington, but a practical connnon sense which made him as useful and acceptable a judge as either 3 XO Jonas Oalusha: of them. He was on the bench durmg the celebrated trial of the crew of the " Black Snake," a smuggling- vessel on Lake Champlain, whose crew had an afiray with a party of revenue officers, and killed two ot them; and he charged the jury in that case. In 1807, he was elected, on the part of the Council, United States Senator for the unexpired term of Israel Smith, but he failed to receive the concurrent vote of the House of Representatives. His third wife, whom he married in June 1808, died in 1809.*^' The same year he was chosen an Elector of President and Vice President, and with his col- leagues, gave the vote of Vermont to James Madison. He was chosen an Elector in 1821, and voted for James Monroe; and in 1825 and 1829, when he voted for John Quincy Adams. The popularity of Isaac Tichenor, who had been governor for eleven years, made it expedient for the republicans to nominate as his opposing candidate in 1809 the man who enjoyed the largest measure of confidence, and could command the greatest number of votes. That man was Jonas Galusha, and with him as their leader the republican party Vv^as successful in that campaign. He was re- elected in 1810, 1811, and 1812. In his speech to the legislature in 1812, he urged the adoption of measures co-operating with the general government in carrying- on the war with Great Britain, as well as providing for the defence of Vermont against possible invasion from Canada. Plis recommendations were adopted, * Ilor name was Abigail Ward, b. 1770, <\. 6 May 1809. Slie liad one cliild, Abigail, b. 15 April 1S09. Fifth Governor of Vermont. 11 and the requisite laws were enacted, but they were so oppressive in their practical operation, that many of the people went ovei- to the federal party. At the election in 181.'?, he had a large plurality of the votes, but not a majority. The majority of the returned members of the legislature, upon which the election was thus de^'olved, were republicans, thei-e being four federal majority in the House, and ten republican majority in the Council. But the federal leaders Avere shrewd and not over-scrupulous, and, finding that by rejecting the entire vote of Colchester for councilloi's, upon the j^retence that a large number of votes had been polled illegally by United States soldiers station- ed there, three more federal councillors would be elected and the Joint Assemby brought to a tie, they decided to do so, and the federal majority in the House carried out their purposes in that regard. The Joint Assembly balloted a numl3er of times every day for more than a week Avithout effecting a choice, till at length, on the 21st day of October, the votes w^ere declared to be one hundred and twelve for Martin Chittenden, and one hundred and eleven for Jonas Galusha. The one hundred and twelve republican members immediately signed a certificate that they did, each of them, on that boUot, vote for Jonas Galusha, and claimed that the ap^Darent result should be set aside and another ballot be taken. But the federal majority in the House i-efused to take any further action, and Martin Chittenden was declared (Governor. There is good reason to believe that the result of the ballot was correctly declared, only one hundred and eleven persons in fact voting for 12 Jonas Qalusha ' Galusha, and Oliver Ingham of Canaan having with- held his vote. By what means he was induced to do so it is impossible now to ascertain. In 1814 Mr. Galusha was the delegate from Shafts- bury to the Constitutional Convention. After the restoration of peace w^th Great Britain, many of the causes which had *agitated the people of Yermont ceased to exist, and the republican party regained their ascendency. Mr. Galusha continued to be their candidate for governor, and in 1815 he was elected by a handsome majority. His speech to the legislature judiciously avoided all topics that could rekindle the expiring embers of party spirit. He alluded in suitable terms to the close of war and the grateful return of peace, but employed himself mainly with the business of the State. He was re-elected, year by year, by constantly increasing majorities, till 1819, when his competing candidate had only a few more than a thousand votes. *He then announced his determina- tion to remain no longer in public life, and in this he persisted, though urged to the contrary, not only by his political friends, but by many of the adverse party. The legislature adopted and presented an address, in Avhich they said — " In discharging the duties of "councillor, judge, and governor, you have ever "merited and received the approbation of your fellow "citizens." He was earnestly requested to be a candi- date for the United States Senate, which had he been, his election was morally certain, but he rejected the honor, nor did he again ever hold office, except that in 1822, he was again a member of the Constitutional Convention, and the President of that body.

Gov. Galusha was rather stoutly built, about five feet and nine inches in height, and at the same time of a very active temj^erament, as was indicated by his light complexion, blue eyes, and light hair inclining to be sandy. His dress was the plain but neat dress of a respectable farmer, who had mingled much with his fellow men, and was neither ignorant nor unmindful of the requirements of society. In conversation he was ready, though not copious, and he had a vein of humor which rendered him very agreeable socially. He was fond of domestic life, and singularly fortunate in his domestic relations. The four wives wdiom he successively married "were cheer- i'ul, amiable, and pious women, and he lived Avith them in harmony and happiness. His childi-en were well trained, and all of them who survived childhood became professors of religion, one of them an eminent minister in the Baptist denomination. Though not himself a member of any church, he was, in the estimation of those best competent to judge, a true Christian. He maintained family worshij) in all its forms, was known to observe private devotions, was an habitual attendant upon public Avorshij) and at social meetings, and frequently took an active part in * His marriage was thus announced In one ol' tlie papers ol' tliut il:iy;— '"In Cavendlsli, Kcli. •24, 1H18, Jonas Galuslia, and Mrs. Naliliy IJearli. a lady of unlileiuislied repulatiou, anove ruliiis."

"Know ye not that there Is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?" 14 Jonas Oalusha: the latter. In his daily life he was also such as a Christian should be, modest, gentle, amiable, upright, faithful to every obligation. He was the first Gover- nor of Vermont, who introduced the word Christ into the date of his proclamations. When nearly seventy -nine years of age, he attended a "protracted meeting" at Manchester, and took an active part in its exercises ; as the result of which, he was aroused to a sense of the duty of making a public ]:)rofession of religion, and announced his intention to do so, but was prevented from accomplishing his purpose hj a stroke of paralysis which he experienced soon after, and from vv^liich he never recovered. During the protracted sickness which ensued, his cheerfulness, patience, resignation, and Christian conversation bore witness to the genuine piety that was in his soul. Integrity and impartiality were such marked traits in his character that he was not seldom chosen as an arbitrator even by his enemies. His foi'bearance was such that he never resented an injury, but endeavored by his words and actions to make his enemies his friends. 13enevolence to the poor was another of his distinguishing characteristics. He made their wants his own, and relieved them accordingly. It was no imusual thing for him, when, in the discharge of his official duties as sheriff, he had been made the instru- ment of reducing a poor man to still deeper poverty, to furnish the unfortunate debtor the means of extricating himself from embarrassment. He also gave freely to various benevolent societies, and took an active part in their affairs. He was President of the Bennington County Colonization Society, and Bible Fifth Oovernor of Vermont. 15 Society, and one of the Yiee-Presidents of the Yermont Bible Society. When the temperance reformation had i)roceeded as far as the total-absti- nence movement, he gave liis influence and example in its fiivor, and though he was far advanced in years, and had, all his life-time, been accustomed to the moderate use of alcoholic liquors, he at once aban- doned the habit, though not without fear that the sudden change might affect him injuriously. He was painfully conscious of the deficiencies of his early education, and feelingly alluded to them in his first executive address. But his quick perception, his retentive memory, his sound judgment, his ready wit, and his prompt command of all his intellectual powers and resources, were qualities which stood him in better stead, and more amply fitted him for his various duties, than the best scholastic education could have done without them. He had a rich fund of anecdote, upon which he drew frequently and with great effect. He was not addicted to public speaking, but could, when occasion required, express himself clearly and forcibly. His executive addresses were short, rarely exceeding in length four printed octavo pages, and frequently not more than half or two thirds as long. In style they were quite unadorned, but concise and perspicuous. To the contrary, his procla- mations for Fasts and Thanksgivings were of unusual length; sometimes, indeed, nearly as long as his messages, indicating that he was more accustomed to thinking and writing upon religious subjects than upon political afiairs. 76) Jonas Galuslia. Politically he was a democrat of the Jeftersonian school, and it may shed some light upon the pedigree of modern parties, to notice, that, without any change of his political views, he voted successively for Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and Adams. Though in office nearly all the time for forty 3^ears, he was not an office-seeker. Rather did office seek him, on account of his eminent fitness for it. He accepted it from a sense of duty rather than from choice, and while in it sought to secure the public good rather than his own. Perhaps Yermont has never had a governor more worthy of the eulogy which Fulke Greville pro- nounced upon Sir Henry Sidney: — '^He was such a ^' governor as sought not to make an end of the State " for himself, but to plant his own ends in the pros- " perity of his country."
