To My Children: — Living remote from your natural ancestors and relations, and the time may come when you will wish to know something of your ancestors, and no one may be living to give you that knowledge which is now in my power to give you, parti}' from records and partly from memory of what my mother has taught me, she being very well versed in Genealogy. I don't sup- pose that at the present time 3'ou feel much interested in this document, but when "Hoar-frost, the winter of age," has whitened your locks like mine, the mind turns back upon the past, to the gleeful days of childhood, to the rose tinted hours of youth, to middle age the heat and burthen of the day. Then we gradually come to look back on the road we have traveled, we look beyond. We would know something of those who have preced- ed us. I do not believe there is any one living who does not feel the better for knowing that there is no stain on his famil}' escutcheon which would call a blush on his own cheek, or his children's after him. I wish my child- ren to know that their ancestry were worthy and respect- able. I wish you to preserve this feebly written record, if not valued for any other reason, but because it was written by your mother in the 70th year of her age, with a weak and trembling hand, March 16, 1867. (Signed) Katharine Copeland "Lo all grow old and die. But see, upon the falter- ing footsteps of decay, youth presses and the great Miracle Life goes on.''' GENEALOGY GUILD Guild is an honorable name. I have never known or heard of one bearing the name a drunkard, profane swearer, or convicted of a crime. Samuel Guild, who is believed to be the founder of the Guild family in America, settled in Dedham, Mass. His name as one of the proprietors, is on the record there previous to it»47- ^Y ""^'eat grandfather, Nathaniel Guild, settled in Walpole, an adjoining town. He own- ed a furnace during the Revolution, and cast shot and shell for the Americans. He had a brother and a sister. The sister married a Coney. Her son, Judge Coney, was among the early settlers of Augusta, Maine, and probably the founder of the Coney family there, one ot whom was lately governor of Maine. My grandfather married Mary Borden. They had four daughters and two sons. Mollie married Amos Plympton and settled in Medfield. Mercy married Ebenezer Hewins and lived in Sharon. Susanna married Col.

He raised a liberty pole at the corner of his home, which he was called on one night to defend from the Tories of his neighborhood. Their warm reception caused them to retire with the British army. In later years he was judge of the Court of Sessions in Bristol county, was a Justice of the Peace at the time of his death, and for 20 — 5— successive years previous.

HISTORY AND GENEALOGY Richard Williams, (said to be a near relative of Cromwell) came from Glasmorganshire, Wales, in i<')37. Became one of the original purchasers of Taunton, pur- chased of the Indians in 1637, his name being second on the list of purchasers. He married Frances Dighton, of Somersetshire, England. One of the several towns set 12 off from Taunton purchased, was called Dighton, in her honor. Katharine, her sister, married Governor Thomas Dudley, of Masschusetts. She was mother of General Joseph Dudley, and grandmother of Paul Dudley, Chief Justice of Massachusetts. Elizabeth, the 7th child of Richard Williams, mar- ried John Bird, of Dorchester, Mass. Their daughter, Katharine Bird, married Israel Dean, and their daughter, Katharine Dean, married Ebenezer Howard. Their daughter Silence, married Eliphalet Leonard, of Easton. Their daughter Katharine Leonard (my mother) married Doctor Samuel Guild, of Easton. Their daughter, Katharine, married Josiah Snell Copeland. Their daughter, Katharine Leonard, married Henry Clay Godman, (both natives of Ohio). LEONARD In the history of Massachusetts it is recorded that in 1652 James and Henry Leonard came from Wales, where they had extensive iron works, to I'aunton, and built the first forge, and made the first iron made in America, in what is now called Raynham. Henry removed to New Jersey. — 1.3— James was the founder of the numerous Leonards in Taunton, Raynham, Norton, etc. History says these Leonards claim descent from Leonard "Lord Dacre," one of the most distintruished famihes in the United Kingdom, in two Hues from Ed- ward the Third, the Duke of Lancaster, and Thomas Duke of Gloucester. About the close of the last century the last Lord Dacre died without children. Notice was publicly given to the descendants of James Leonard, that they could claim title. A meet- ing of the Leonards was held, and decided that the Hon, Judge George Leonard, of Norton, might claim title, he being the 4th in regular descent Irom James. The judge replied, he "would rather be Lord of broad acres in America, than Lord Dacres in England." He was then the Lord of numerous broad acres, and lived in the Old English st^le, with his park of deer, tenantr}', mills, etc. No one claiming the title and estate, it reverted to Lady Dacres and her sister, Mrs. Bowen, the wealthiest lady in the commonwealth. She died in 1850; Judge Leonard in 18 19. About 45 years since, the descendants of James Leonard were informed that the mortgages had been all paid and a large sum remained for claimants. An agent was sent to England, but finding the property in chan- cery, it was abandoned. — 14— The old Leonard mansion in Raynham, built by James in 1670, was taken down 1844, it being then in- habited by some of the 6th generation. Mrs. Abigail Leonard, who died 1844, aged no years, lived there. Abigail Leonard was the wife of Zephaniah Leon- ard. He and his son, Horatio, were High Sheriff of Bristol county, 60 years in succession, being appointed b}' the Governor in 1808-9. Josiah S. Copeland was a youth in this house. The family were Zephaniah and wife Abagail, Horatio, Zeph Jr., William and a daughter. William Bain, deceased, of Marion, Ohio, and J. S. Copeland have conversed together about this house and iron works. Bain, when a youth, lived near them. I have been unable to find any positive record of my great grandfather Leonard's paternity, but from the well known relationship of Thomas Cobb and our fami- 1}-, it is believed that he was the son of James Jr., and grandson of James Leonard, the founder of the famil}' in America. Cobb having married Lydia, daughter of James Leonard Jr. David Cobb, her son, was a man of note; was Lieu- tenant Governor of Massachusetts. His sister was the wife of Robert Treat Paine, one of the signers of the Declaration of American Independ- ence, and Chief Justice of the state of Massachusetts. — 15— His son R. T. Paine Jr.., was author of the once popular sons? of "Adams and Liberty." It was likewise well known that the Norton Leon- ards, (those living in Norton) descendants from Thomas, son of James, were relatives of our branch of the Leon- ard family. In an old cemetery in Easton, is my great grand- father's resting place. The inscription on his grave stone is: Sacred to The Memory of Captain Eliphalet Leonard Who died 1786, aged 85 years. "He was so just, men put their trusts in him for years to come. We hope that God will him reward, now he has called him home." B}' his side lies his wife. vSacred to The Memory of Ruth, Wife of Capt. Eliphalet Leonard Died April 11, 1786, aged 82 years. "Here let her rest in precious dust, till God to glory call the just." His son Eliphalet, married Silence Howard. They had two daughters and four sons, my mother the eldest. Jonathan married Elizabeth Blackman, settled in Canton, Mass., and together with Adam Kinsley, (a descendant of Richard Williams,) who married his sis- ter, Sarah Leonard, carried on for near half a century. — 16— those extensive iron works known throughout New Eng- land as Leonard & Kinsley's. He was a self-educated man, remarkable for his in- telligence and acquirements. His beautiful residence was the resort of the first literary men of Boston, as well as many others who claimed the hospitality so well known to be found there. He had a large and talented family. None I be- lieve are at present living. His eldest daughter married Daniel Dana, and they settled in New Orleans, La., in 1812, and he was for a while mayor of the city. During the latter part of my uncle's life, his eldest son returned from the Galena lead mines, and being shown a piece of rock dug up on his farm, his son said it was the cap of a lead or coal mine. It being on my uncle's farm, he quit all other business, and spent a fortune digging for lead. Some lead was found, but not enough to pay. This with other heavy losses during the war of 181 2-15, reduced him to poverty. His daugh- ter, Mrs. Dana, sent for them. My uncle and aunt, with one unmarried son and daughter, went to New Orleans. My uncle went 40 miles from the city to avoid the cholera, and then died with it. My aunt and her son, Mr. and Mrs. Dana, Miss Dana and Mrs. Flagg (my cousin,) and her four child- ren lie buried there. My uncle, Eliphalet, settled in Vermont. Don't — 17— know his heirs. Asaph settled in Maine. Alpheus settled in Americas, N. Y., was a physician. Had a son Henry, who many years since resided in the City of New York, as an attorney. My mother died in Easton, Januar}- 7, 1837, in her 80th year. My o^randfather Leonard died in Canton, October 27, 1805, aged 75 years. My aunt Kinsley died in her 45th year. She left six children. Adam died many years since, and left a large family. Sarah Kinsley married James Dunbar. She had two children, Mary and John. Alfred, now deceased, married Ann Copeland, and has three children. Leonard single. Lyman married and has one son and one daughter. Mira married Richard Ilickson. She is now a widow with three children. My aunt Kinsley was one of earth's angels. From my childhood I loved her, and held her in the highest reverence. Her mantle seems to have fallen on her daughter Sarah. James Dunbar, of Canton, died April 19, 1867, aged 80 years. Sarah his wife, died September ist, 1867, aged 73 years. — 18— COPELAND Lawrence Copeland born in 1589, the reign of our gracious sovereign, Queen Elizabeth, of blessed memory. Died December 30, 1699, aged iio. He was 31 years old at the first landing of the Pilgrims in America; was an early and prominent member thereof. By tradition their records are now extant, and covered 200 years, and upon none of that name at that period, had ever been served with process of law, imprisoned for crime, debt, or other misdemeanor.
