FOREWORD
It is with the deepest sense of gratitude, and appreciation of a friend, that I respond to the request to prefix a few lines on the character and personality of the man whose life history follows—Jared Sidney Torrance.
Sidney, as he was familiarly called, was well known throughout Southern California, as well as many other sections of the United States, and always made close and intimate friendships. Not especially social by nature, or seeking social atmosphere, he, nevertheless, in a strange and peculiar way imparted sociability at every contact. He was an excellent sportsman in all his club associations, a man whose presence was eagerly sought because it radiated life at its very best. He was a true philanthropist in every way, and gave his time, counsel, and financial assistance through all his years among us. To know him and be in his presence was always a privilege and an inspiration to good works, either in the uplifting of our community, or in philanthropic and charitable undertakings. He was a man of great force and personal charm, one who could always grasp large affairs, and showed unusual wisdom and optimism. A fair criticism of him might be that he burdened himself too heavily with great responsibilities, but this was due to the fact that he was happiest in producing, developing, and working out new schemes for progress. Many examples of this may be seen throughout his career, noticeably his idealistic, industrial plan consummated in the town which bears his name—Torrance.
In any history of the tremendous growth of Los Angeles, his name must always be prominent in financial development. With his days so filled, he nevertheless had time for the small
[v]matters that would help the other man; and where investments with others were concerned, he would sacrifice himself rather than have the other injured, and was ever ready to give freely of his time and strength to those who made the right appeal.
A strong personality was Sidney, with a spirit of optimism and cheerfulness, great personal magnetism and charm.

[vi]EXPLANATORY NOTE TO PREFACE
The compiler of this genealogical record had practically completed his notes and was about to have the results of some five years of research and study placed in book form for distribution among his relatives, when he was suddenly called by death on March 29, 1921.
The assembling of the data contained herein had been a matter very close to his heart, especially since the winter of 1915-16, when he came into possession of a packet of old family letters, given to him by his mother. With his customary enthusiasm he eagerly attacked the problem of piecing together the little data that was contained therein, and tracing the fortunes of the writers of same, and their descendants. Working practically only a few hours each evening, he persevered until he had worked out complete genealogical records of the seven families which are covered herein.
It was felt by his immediate family, and some of those with whom he had been corresponding, that his notes should be assembled, completed, indexed and printed. But so carefully had he developed the family trees and so complete were his notes, that it was found that practically all that was necessary to be done was to check the same for typographical errors and to work out the index. To Miss Edith Gowan, of San Francisco, is due the credit for this completion of detail.
The book as printed is essentially as he had planned it. The title page, preface, introductory histories and genealogical facts are all as he had prepared them.
[ vii]PREFACE
This book is a departure from the usual genealogical publication in that it gives, as far as possible, all of the descendants, both male and female, of certain ancestors, instead of confining itself to complete data of the male descendants only.
It is intended to give information which will be valuable particularly to those now living, as well as to generations unborn.
The compilation of genealogical data is quite impossible without the assistance and cooperation of many individuals. Acknowledgment is hereby made to all who have contributed to this work.
Especial acknowledgment, however, is due Mrs. James T. Rider of Tontogany, Ohio, for data concerning the Warner and McColley families, and to Miss Alice D. Depew of Waterbury, Conn., for her valuable cooperation in securing data of the Hart, Curtiss and Torrance families.

[»]HART FAMILY
While still a young man, but possessed with the courage of many thousands who had preceded him, and fired doubtless with the ambition to gain a greater success in life than was possible in the homeland, LEWIS HART, born in Devizes, England, March 26, 1757, sailed for America, shortly prior to the outbreak of the War of the Revolution and settled at Stonington, Conn. He enlisted for military service against the country from which he had so recently migrated, and battled for six years for the freedom of the country of his adoption.
He was a Trumpet Major in the 3rd Troop of Col. Sheldon’s Dragoons and the date of his enlistment was April 8, 1777. He served his full term and was honorably discharged in 1783. He is described as having been five feet seven inches in height, of light eyes and hair and a light complexion. He was later a seafaring man, a ship owner and a ship’s Captain, a vocation which was later followed by several of his descendants. In 1811, he, with Martin Warner, Sr., built a schooner of 170 tons burden, naming it after his eldest daughter “Nancy.” During the war of 1812, it was fired upon by the British off Bridgeport, Conn., and badly damaged and set on fire. The flames were extinguished, however, and the vessel saved. Later it was partly wrecked off the coast of Nantucket Island, but was again saved and repaired.
On Oct. 3, 1784, at Stonington, Conn., he was married to Anne, dau. of Asa and Mrs. Mary (Beebe) Elliott and granddaughter of Joseph and Johannah Elliott, the Rev. Nathaniel Eells officiating. She was b. Derby, Conn., Feb. 23, 1758, and d. Derby, Conn., Mar. 4, 1827. She was
[ xiii ]buried in the Long Hill Burying Ground, Shelton, Conn., and her grave is marked by a stone with the following inscription: “This is erected by George L. Hart in sacred remembrance of his Mother, Anne Hart, who departed this life March 4, 1827, aged 69 years, 9 days.”
He d. Huntington, Conn., July 15, 1817, and was buried in the same Burying Ground. His grave is marked by a stone inscribed as follows: “In memory of Captain Lewis Hart, who died July 15, 1817, aged 61 years.”
Joseph and Johannah Elliott had a family of ten children, recorded in the Church Records of Stonington, Conn., as follows:
i.	John, bapt. Aug. 18, 1723,
ii.	Anna, bapt. Aug. 18, 1723,
iii.	Dorothy, bapt. July 18, 1725,
iv.	Asa, bapt. Oct. 22, 1727,

1784, Michael Ash),
x.	Desire, bapt. Feb. 6, 1776 (m. March 8, 1767,
Samuel Beebe).
The parents and all of the eight eldest children were baptized by the Rev. Ebenezer Rossiter. The remaining two were baptized by the Rev. Nathaniel Eells.
ASA ELLIOTT and MARY BEEBE were married June 21, 1753, and had children, all born at Derby, Conn., as follows:
[xiv]i.	Joseph, b. Mar. 28, 1754,
ii.	Mary, b. Oct. 17, 1755,
iii.	Anne, b. Feb. 23, 1758,

vii.	Clark, b. Sept. 2, 1768.
LEWIS HART lived at Stonington, Conn., until about 1790, when he moved to Huntington, Conn., where his four youngest children were born. The records of Stonington disclose the purchase and sale of several pieces of real estate, and the following is the copy of a deed to the property which he acquired at Huntington, Conn., which is probably the same property of which he died possessed:
Know ye that we, Abijah Beardsley and Elizabeth Ann Beardsley, his wife, of Huntington in Fairfield Co., State of Connecticut, for the consideration of one hundred and thirty Pounds lawful money Received to my Satisfaction of Lewis Hart of Stonington and State aforesaid.

He had been formerly a sea faring man and upon his arrival in Buffalo he at once engaged in shipping. An obituary notice in the Buffalo Express of Oct. 17, 1873, recites that “for thirty-four years, in fair weather and foul, under canvas and steam, he sailed the Great Lakes until he was about the best known as well as the most successful ship master in the service. Many a thrilling tale could the Captain tell of the hardships and dangers with which those years were crowded. And many a yarn will old lake sailors spin to this day about episodes and adventures of which the honest Captain was the hero.”
“Subsequent to 1864 he gave up sailing and became an active partner in the house of Newman and Scovill, ship chandlers of this city. After four or five years in the business, he went into the banking and brokerage business under the firm name of E. G. Strong and Co., which afterwards became A. E. Hart and Co., retiring finally in 1871.”
He was a large man, large hearted, hospitable and possessed a genial personality which won him hosts of friends.

HART-WARNER FAMILY
(3)
MARTIN WARNER, son of Martin W. and Mary (Ruggles) Warner, was descended from sturdy New England stock. His ancestors had lived among the rugged hills of Windham, Litchfield and Fairfield Counties, Connecticut, and there seems, in the course of his ancestral generations, to have infused themselves into their very blood such a fondness for the soil and such a tendency towards the pursuit of agriculture, that an unusually large percentage of his descendants in the succeeding generations have followed in his footsteps and developed into successful farmers. Patriotism has likewise been a family trait. The father and eldest brother, Orange, served in the War of the Revolution, and many of his descendants enlisted for service in the War of the Rebellion and in the recent European struggle. His parents were likewise alive to the advantages of an education, and Martin Warner was evidently put through preparatory schools and later finished his education at Yale College. The first few years thereafter he engaged in shipbuilding and manufacturing, but in 1803, following his
[8]marriage, he began farming on a thirty-three acre farm near Brookfield, Fairfield County, Conn. In April, 1815, he moved to Derby, Conn., and in 1822, to Rochester, N. Y. In 1824, with five sons and five daughters, he moved to Buffalo, N. Y., and from thence to Lyons, N. Y., where he was a building contractor. In 1826, he moved to Rose Valley, Wayne County, N. Y., and engaged in farming. In 1833, accompanied by his family, his son Elliott, his son-in-law James Barbour, and their families, he moved to Washington Township, Wood County, Ohio, making the trip from Buffalo to Perrysburg on one of Captain Asa Elliott Hart’s schooners. There he became the head of the Maumee Valley branch of the Warner family. In the winter of 1833-34, he built a log cabin in Section 12 of Washington Township, Wood County, Ohio. A few years later he built a frame house (now standing and in good repair), where he resided until his death. There were then no schools nor churches in the township outside of Perrysburg. In 1836 he built a frame Presbyterian church (still standing) in Section 12 of Plain Township, being assisted, among others, by his sons Elliott and Martin and his son-in-law James Barbour. It was the habit of the Warner family to attend this church for morning and afternoon service on Sunday, going in a farm wagon drawn by an ox team. Martin Warner and James Minton were its first deacons. All of his sons were well educated and became leaders in church and civic affairs, and were men of character and influence.
Martin Warner was b. New Milford, Conn., Apr. 27, 1771; m. New Milford, Conn., Nov. 20, 1803, Nancy, dau. of Lewis and Anne (Elliott) Hart. She was b. Stonington, Conn., May 18, 1785; d.

Perrysburg, Ohio, Jan. 13, 1893. Children by first marriage: (a) John Elliott, b. Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 26, 1830; d. Perrysburg, Ohio, March 26, 1868; n. m. He was a gold miner, (b) Harriet Odelia, b.

In his earlier years he sailed for two years upon one of his Uncle Robert Hart’s boats between Buffalo and Cleveland, and later became a school teacher. He was well educated, and possessed at an early age exceptional business ability. That he was highly regarded as a man and a citizen is evidenced by the fact that he was elected Town Clerk of Washington Township for twenty-four consecutive years. He was one of the founders and a devout member of the Presbyterian Church of Tontogany.

[58]THE ANCESTRY OF STILES CURTISS
WILLIAM CURTISS came from Nazing, Essex County, England, to America on the ship “Lyon” which sailed from London June 22, 1632, and landed at Boston, Mass., on Sunday Sept. 16, 1632. The Parish registers of Nazing show many entries recording baptisms, marriages and deaths of members of the Curtiss family occurring between the years 1560 and 1640. According to those records William Curtiss was baptized Nov. 12, 1592, and married Sarah Eliot, dau. of Bennett Eliot of Nazing, England. Following his arrival in America he settled in Roxbury, Mass., where he was made a freeman March 4, 1633. He d. Roxbury, Mass., Dec. 8, 1672. She d. Roxbury, Mass., March 26, 1672. His descendants are found in Boston and Sharon, Mass. They had children:
i.	William, b. Nazing, England,	1618;
he came to New England in 1631 with Rev. John Eliot, and settled in Roxbury. “William was a hopeful scholar, but God took him in the end of the year 1634.”—Roxbury Church Records.
ii.	Mary, bapt. Nazing, England, March 11,
1620-1.
iii.	Thomas, bapt. Nazing, England, Jan. 19,
1622-3. He d. probably June 26, 1650.
iv.	Elizabeth, bapt. Nazing, England, Feb. 13,
1624-5; m. Isaac Newhall, of Roxbury, Mass., Dec. 14, 1659.
v.	John, bapt. Nazing, England, July 17, 1629;
m. (i) Rebecca, dau. of Thomas Wheeler, of Boston, Mass., Dec. 26, 1661; m. (ii) Dorcas, dau. of Charles and Dorcas Peak, of Roxbury, Mass. He d. 1654.
vi.	Philip, bapt. Nazing, England, Mar. 28, 1632;
m. Obedience, dau. of John Holland, of Dorchester, Mass., Oct. 20, 1658. He was killed
[59]by the Indians in King Philip’s War, at Grafton, Mass., Nov. 9, 1675.
vii.	Sarah, bapt. Nazing, England, Aug. 5, 1627.
viii.	Hannah, b. Roxbury, Mass.; m. William
Geary, Aug. 25, 1651.
ix.	Isaac, b. Roxbury, Mass., July 22, 1641-2; m. Hannah, dau. of John Palley, of Roxbury, Mass., May 10, 1670. He d. in Roxbury, Mass., May 31, 1695. She d. Feb. 6, 1720.
The above William Curtiss, who came to America on the ship “Lyon,” was, prior to the disclosures by the Nazing records, erroneously supposed by the earlier genealogists to have been the husband of “Widow Elizabeth Curtiss” of Stratford, Conn. The Nazing records, however, disprove this supposition, and the later genealogists have reached the conclusion that the William Curtiss above recorded was the brother of John Curtiss, who was the husband of “Widow Elizabeth.”
The Nazing records show John Curtiss bapt. Sept. 15, 1577, and his marriage to Elizabeth Hutchins, Apr. 19, 1610, and further show the following as their children:
(40)	John Curtiss, bapt. Feb. 26, 1614.
(41)	William Curtiss, bapt. June 21, 1618. Thomas Curtiss, bapt. Mar. 12, 1620.
John Curtiss and probably his wife and two of his sons left Nazing, England, subsequent to 1632, and prior to 1638, and settled likewise in Roxbury, Mass. The records of 1638 show that John Curtiss owned fifteen acres of land at Roxbury, Mass., and had five persons in the family.
Records also show that John Curtiss, aged 21, eldest son of John Curtiss and Elizabeth Hutchins sailed from London in the ship “Safety” Aug. 10, 1635. Immediately following 1638, John Curtiss and his family must have left Roxbury, Mass., and settled in Weathersfield, Conn., since the records of Roxbury make no later record of him, but in
[60]1639 a John Curtiss, according to a “Memorial History of Hartford County, Conn.,” was a resident of Weathersfield.
John Curtiss, according to the same History, left Weathersfield in 1640 for Cupheag (Stratford), Conn. Since, however, no mention is made in the records of Stratford of John Curtiss, or Thomas Curtiss, his son, but frequent mention is made of Widow Elizabeth Curtiss and her sons John and William, and mention is made by Elizabeth in her will of “my Grandchilde Mary Curtiss ye daughter of Thomas Curtiss,” the conclusion is reached that John, the husband of Elizabeth, must have died on the journey from Weathersfield to Stratford, or shortly after his arrival in Stratford, and that Thomas, his son, had also died prior to that time.
The foregoing conclusions are further substantiated by the fact proven by Nazing, Roxbury, Weathersfield and Stratford records and histories, that several families, including the Curtiss, Ufford, Blakeman and others, originally came from the same district in England and finally settled in Stratford through Roxbury or Weathersfield, or both.
EXPLANATIONS. The genealogy of the antecedents of Stiles Curtiss, son of Elnathan Curtiss, who married (i) Clara Adams and (ii) Betsy Hitchcock, includes only a part of the direct descendants of John, son of Widow Elizabeth Curtiss. The genealogy of all the descendants of Stiles Curtiss, which follows, is as nearly complete as the compiler has been able to make it.
Additional abbreviations are as follows: C. C. buried in Congregational Cemetery, Stratford, Conn., and grave marked with inscription; E. C., buried in Episcopal Cemetery, Stratford, Conn., and grave marked with stone and inscription; H. C., buried in Huntington Cemetery, Huntington, Conn., and grave marked by stone with inscription.

[61]CURTISS COAT-OF-ARMS
The archives of the College of Heraldry of London, England, show thirty-six coats-of-arms and seventeen crests granted to persons of the Curtiss, Curtis, Curtys, Corteys, Courteys, Curtice, Courteouse, &c, names. Nazing, the birth place of the Curtiss ancestors, is now a part of London.
John Curtiss, of Nazing, had a coat-of-arms, confirmed May 9, 1632, in the 8th year of the reign of King Charles I, shortly prior to the departure of his brother William for New England. As the name of John Curtiss does not appear in the lists of 1633, it is probable that he left Nazing for Roxbury soon after the confirmation of this coat-of-arms.
The description of the coat-of-arms is curious and reads as follows: “Azure a fesse dancette between three ducal crowns or”: “Crest: A Lyon in his ppr Collers Issuing forth of his collers Or and Azure & thereon a fess dancette or Mantled gules doubled Argent.”
It would seem, therefore, beyond question that John and Elizabeth (Hutchins) Curtiss were the progenitors of the Stratford Curtiss families, now very numerous and well scattered over the United States, and the record of a comparatively small number of whom this volume is in part intended to perpetuate.
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ELIZABETH CURTISS
The earliest historical records of Stratford speak of the “Widow Elizabeth Curtiss, and her sons John and William.” The third son, Thomas, had married and died, since no mention of him is found in the Stratford records, excepting in his mother’s will which was proved Nov. 4, 1658, at Fairfield, Conn. Her estate was appraised at £100 3s 6d. The will reads as follows:

NATHAN GOLD, Clerk.
It is probable that the naming of the Town of Stratford was suggested by the Curtiss family—from either Stratford-on-Avon, England, Shakespeare’s town, or from Stratford-on-Bow, near Nazing, and now a part of London. That the name of Curtiss was familiar in Stratford-on-Avon is shown by the fact that Shakespeare used it as one of the characters in “The Taming of the Shrew.”
The following facts concerning John Curtiss and William Curtiss, and some of their descendants, are recorded in the official and early archives of Stratford and Fairfield County:
[66]There was recorded prior to 1651 a list of the owners of a fence 353 rods in length which enclosed a field of about fifty acres. This constituted the “Common Field,” the fence enclosing the whole, instead of each making a fence around his own, thus effecting a material saving.
Of this fence, widow Elizabeth Curtiss owned two rods and ten feet. In all there were forty-one owners and their names included nearly all of the first settlers of Stratford.
“June 1672. This Court confirms William Curtiss Captain, and Joseph Judson, Lieutenant, and Stephen Burritt Ensign, of the Train Band of Stratford.”
At the same time the General Court declared that “Until further order be taken, Capt. Nathan Gold shall be deemed chief military officer of the County of Fairfield and Capt. William Curtiss his second.”
At the same court, William Curtiss was appointed one of the “Committee for the well ordering of the militia in case of any sudden exigency” in the Colony.
In August, 1672, Capt. William Curtiss was appointed by the General Court, one of six Commissioners with the Governor, Deputy Governor and assistants, as a war council against the Dutch at New York, “To act as the Grand Committee of the Colony in establishing and Commissionat-ing Military Officers, in pressing men, horses, ships, barques or other vessels, arms, amunitions, provision, carriages, or whatever they judge needful, for our defence, and to manage, order and dispose of the militia of the Colony in the best way and manner thay can for our defence and safety.” Later, during the same year, Captain Curtiss was appointed Captain “for such forces as shall be sent from Fairfield County,” against the Dutch at New York, and 1675, his commission in the same position was renewed; this showing that he ranked first in Fairfield County as a military officer, excepting field officers.
[67]While William Curtiss was thus engaged in military affairs, he was for some years regularly elected Deputy to the General Court, his election being repeated, sometimes after intervals, sixteen times.
It is also reported that in the King Philip’s War, which became largely a war with the Narragansett Indians and which broke out in 1675, “Captain William Curtiss, a faithful, reliable officer,” was among those who particularly distinguished themselves. (See Pg. 196, Orcutt.)
Among the list of “first inhabitants and their Home Lots” as shown on a map printed in the “History of Stratford” William Curtiss owned Lot 34 and part of Lot 69.
In a list of all the landowners in Stratford, recorded Jan. 13, 1699, Capt. William Curtiss is credited with the ownership of twenty-six acres, a then considerable holding, and John Curtiss possessed twelve and one-half acres.
“A record of the general fence for the new pasture from y• mill brook to Paquanok river being just eleven foott to one acre of land; the first lot beginning at y® sd mill brook, and being measured by a pole eleven foott long which is for one acre of land— first lott Daniell Mitchell for twenty-two acres, twenty-two poles.
Recorded April 8, 1692.
Signed—Daniell Mitchell,	22 pole
Capt. Curtis,	12 pole
and forty-four others.”
Until about 1670, persons living at Stratford, were permitted to select outside lands for their use, subject to the approval of the townsmen.
In 1680 “the town agreed to lay out all lands within six miles of the meeting house” and appointed a committee to do it, but it was not until years later that a final plat and draft was made. It was then parceled out among 199 claimants.
“At a proprietor’s meeting of y® proprietors of Common undivided Lands in Stratford held by adjournment on the last Monday of November A.D., 1738, Here followeth an account of y® draught of y® Lots voted to be drawn at the proprietors’ meeting October 3, Monday, 1738.”
[68]The 199 lots were drawn by Capt. Edmond Lewis, and the following numbers fell respectively to different members of the Curtiss family.
5	Zachariah Curtiss, Jr.	109	Nathan Curtiss and wife
18	Nathan Curtiss and wife	144	Zachariah Curtiss, Sen.
43	Ephraim Curtiss and wife	161	Peter Curtiss

60	Heirs of Abel Curtiss	181	Eben Curtiss
85	Mathew Curtiss	184	Joseph Curtiss
87	Daniel Curtiss	189	Jonas Curtiss
104	Stiles Curtiss		
John Curtiss died some twenty years previous to this draft, but the majority of them numbered among his descendants.
“Jan. 3, 1661, it was voted that all the inhabitants shall have liberty to take up a whole division of land in the woods for planting land anywhere within the bounds of Stratford where he can find fit land, provided it be not within two miles of the town, and also all such who do take up land in this way are prohibited from making it their dwelling place, but by the consent of the town; and they have chosen by a vote Philip Groves, William Curtiss and Joseph Judson to lay it out unto particular men according as they desire it.” (Orcutt—pg. 167.)
In 1667 Mr. Samuel Sherman, Mr. Thomas Fairchild, Lieut. William Curtiss, Ensign Joseph Judson, Mr. Joseph Hawley, John Minor and others, received liberty to establish a plantation at Potatuck, afterward Newton—but this enterprise was later abandoned. The same parties in 1670, led by Samuel Sherman, petitioned the General Court for liberty to make a plantation at Farmil River, then within the territory of Stratford, which is said to have failed for want of room.
In May, 1672, Mr. Samuel Sherman, Lieut. William Curtiss (he was made Captain this same year), Ensign
[69]Joseph Judson, John Minor and their associates, applied to the General Court for permission to “erect a plantation” at Pomperoage. This grant eventuated in founding the settlement of Woodbury, and “was made a grand success in a very short time.”
The History of Woodbury contains a chapter which states that “The settlement of Woodbury was the result of difference in religious opinions among the inhabitants of Stratford. It was ushered in by thunderings and lightenings and earthquakes ecclesiastical.”
Early in the Spring of 1673, fifteen men “started with their families for the wilderness of Pomperoage.” Included in the number were the families of Joshua Curtiss and Israel Curtiss.
Since these names nowhere else occur in the records of that time, Joshua Curtiss must have been the second son of William Curtis 2d. He was born Oct. 1, 1646, and at that time was, therefore, about twenty-seven years of age.
Israel Curtiss must have been the “Israel” b. April 3, 1644, recorded as the second son of John Curtiss.
This indicates that sons and grandsons of William Curtiss 1st were largely instrumental in founding the now flourishing communities of Stratford, Huntington (now Shelton) and Woodbury.
It is interesting to note that the Samuel Sherman mentioned in connection with these undertakings, is recorded as one of the grand jurors who, in September, 1692, indicted Mercy Disborough for witchcraft. She was convicted and sentenced to death, but probably escaped that fate, as her name again occurs in 1707 as one of the executors of the estate of her husband.
The following curious and interesting document, signed, among others, by William Curtiss, was found in the Town Records of Stratford.
[70]“This indenture made the 24th of June, 1662, witnesseth, that we, the townsmen of Stratford, upon good and serious considerations mooving us thereunto, doe bind out one, Mod-lin, a little girl of about six years of age, that formerly did belong to a Frenchman that was in necessity upon the Town of Stratford; We say to John Minor of Stratford to him, his heirs and assigns, till the aforesaid girl shall attayne the age of twenty-one years; we say we bind her with her father’s consent; also a lawful apprentice to the aforesaid John Minor till the aforesaid term of tyme shall be fully and completely ended.
“The aforesaid John Minor engages to provide her with apparel and diet and bedding as may be suitable for such an apprentice.
“That this is our act and deed, and witnessed by subscribing the day and date above written.
“Richard Booth, William Curtiss, John Brinsmade, Caleb Nichols, Jeremiah Judson, Townsmen.”
It is also interesting to note that there is a bill of sale recorded in Stratford, dated in 1738, from Nathaniel Sut-liff, of Haddam, to Josiah Curtiss (grandson of Capt. William Curtiss) of a negro boy, Stephen, 16 years old, for £100.
At an election at town meeting Dec. 29, 1675, the following were elected to fill the positions stated:
“John Minor Jehiel Preston	Constables
Thomas Uffoot John Wells Sergt. John Curtiss Henry Waketqu John Pickett, Sen.	■Townsmen
John Minor Sergt. John Curtiss	Recorder Treasurer
Thomas Fayrechild Ell Knowles	Haywardens
Robert Lane Benjamen Beach	Fence viewers
Edwin Hinman John Peak, Jr.	Packer Marshall
Nathaniel Parker James Clark	• Surveyors of highways
[71]Mr. Hawley	Ordinary keeper
John Pickett, Jr.	Sealer of weights	and measurers
James Clark	Pound keeper
John Peck	Custom master
Robert Rose	Cryer
Capt. Curtiss, Mr. Mitchell, Jeliel Preston and John Minor, to audit the town’s accounts.”
In 1687 the premiums paid by the Colony for killing wolves was thirty-two shillings for each one killed.
This obtained for a number of years, when the creatures so increased and became such an annoyance near Stratford, that a great wolf hunt was organized.
“April 17, 1693, Voted that all persons ratable should be allowed for man and horse in this service of destroying wolves, three shillings per day out of the town treasury.”
“It was voted and agreed that the next Thursday shall be the day to goe upon this business of killing wolves, if the weather permit, or the next fair day; all persons to be ready by seven of the clock in the morning, and meet upon the hill at the meeting house, by the beat of the drum.”
“The town, by vote, made choice of Capt. Burritt, Lieut. Beardslee, Ens. Judson, Mr. Samuel Sherman, Ephraim Stiles, Daniel Beardslee, Daniel Curtis, Ebenezer Curtis, Sergt. Knowles, Joseph Curtis, Benjamin Curtis, Lieut. Tomlinson, Nathaniel Sherman and Joseph Curtis to be overseers of this affayre, and authorized them with full power to order, dispose and direct all and every person that shall goe upon this work from time to time, and all persons are to observe and attend their directions.”
The cost of this expedition is not known, but by another vote in 1696, when each person was to receive only six pence every time when he went out in a similar expedition, the cost to the town was fourteen pound, nineteen shillings and six pence.
John Curtiss, eldest son of the Widow Elizabeth, was one of the original patentees of Stratford, Conn., according
[72]to the records. He was made freeman in 1658, probably made his home at first with his mother; bought the shares of the other heirs after her death and gave them to his son Israel in 1660. John had the west half of the home lot before referred to, his brother William the east half.
The name of William Curtiss occurs more frequently in the Stratford records than that of his brother John. This was doubtless because he was at the head of the military organization and movements during that period of local history, when the Indians were a continual source of serious trouble, and military protection was constantly necessary.
John Curtiss was the more prominent in civil affairs and in the work of settling the township. In the affairs of both Church and State his name is frequently mentioned and in Civil matters pertaining especially to local government, land allotments and the early industrial development of the community he was an undoubted leader.
The early settlers of New England came to America on account of the religious restrictions under which they had lived, and to establish and perpetuate in the New World, a greater degree of religious freedom and civil liberty. Accordingly the New England early communities were all religious both temperamentally and by environment.
In 1678 Stratford voted a special tax “to pay charges about the building of a new meeting-house.”
In 1679 it was approaching completion and they proceeded to fix the rules by which it should be seated, and adopted the following: “Every inhabitant in Stratford, both men and women, shall be seated and placed in proper seats in the new meeting-house.”
Samuel Sherman, Senior, Capt. William Curtiss and Mr. Joseph Hawley were appointed a committee to arrange the seating, the rules of dignity having been established as follows:
[73]“First, Magistrates and Commissioned Officers, according to their place of dignity.”
“217, That all persons past the age of sixty years should be accounted honorable, notwithstanding their payments, and be seated accordingly.”
“3^, That all other persons under the age of sixty years, should be seated according to their disbursements and payments to the new meeting-house which has been according to law.”
The first burial ground at Stratford adjoined the meeting-house, and was used until 1677, when a new one was selected. The first one is now almost entirely obliterated. The few grave stones left were removed to the new. They were, generally speaking, weather-chafed and shapeless, and the most careful scrutiny yielded only defaced particles of inscriptions in which no letters nor figures could be distinguished. There were a few exceptions, but the inscriptions were so meagre as to disclose but little information. One was marked “E. B. MCH. 9, 1652”; another, “J. H. 1690 AE 100.”
It is to be regretted that these stones do not tell more about those who fell in a strange land, the first sacrifices for “a liberated conscience and an enlarged freedom.”
The town records of Stratford prior to 1676, the date of the opening of the new burying ground, disclose the names of only twenty-four persons who had died there, in each instance giving the dates of their decease, although the number of deaths since the beginning of the town forty years before must have been many times that number.
Among the twenty-four, the only Curtiss named was Elizabeth, wife of John, Jr., who died Mar. 9, 1681.
There are still two old burying grounds in Stratford, both well filled, and now and for many years past rarely used.
[74]They are commonly called Congregational burying ground, started in 1677, and the Episcopal burying ground started many years later.
In the former are the tombstones of more than one hundred and twenty-five of the name of Curtiss, and in the latter, twelve, and probably the larger part, if not all of them, were the descendants of John and Elizabeth (Hutchins) Curtiss.
The full list with a copy of the inscriptions entire, including the epitaphs, is recorded in Orcutt’s History of Stratford.

JOSEPH CURTISS, son of John and Elizabeth (Welles) Curtiss, b. Stratford, Conn., Nov. 12, 1650; m. Bethia, dau. of Richard and Elizabeth (Hawley) Booth, Nov. 9, 1676. Richard Booth was b. England 1607. He came to America and m. the first Joseph Hawley’s sister. Joseph Curtiss was one of the owners of unsubdivided lands hereinbefore mentioned. According to Orcutt’s History of Stratford, he “was among the most prominent citizens of Stratford for many years.” He was town clerk fifty consecutive years and did the work in a manner creditable to himself and the town. He always wrote the name “Curtiss” with the double “s,” as did most of the descendants of William Curtiss, whereas many of the descendants of John have spelled the name with only one “s.” Joseph was elected an Assistant, an office now called Senator, of the State in May, 1698, and thereafter for twenty-two consecutive years. He was several times elected Judge of the County Court, and served on several State Committees of first importance, including one to locate the boundary line between Connecticut and New York, as settled by the authorities in 1700. In October, 1709, Capt. Joseph Curtiss, with the Deputy Governor and three others, was appointed as a Committee of War for the County of Fairfield. He was lieutenant in the town band and was a representative from Stratford for a number of years. He was also very prominent in church work. He was contemporary with his father, John, for thirty years, and with his uncle William
[78]for fifty years, and was authority with reference to family matters and data.
In 1727 he declined further public service and died shortly thereafter. For many years his descendants gloried in the honorable title applied to him while living, “The Worshipful Joseph Curtiss.” They had children:

ELNATHAN CURTISS, son of Ephraim and Elizabeth (Stiles) Curtiss, b. Huntington, Conn., Jan. 4, 1727; m. Sarah, dau. of Thomas and Phoebe (Judson) Ufford of Stratford, Conn., June 7, 1745. She was b. Stratford, Conn., Feb. 15, 1728; d. Huntington, Conn., May 19, 1814. He d. in Huntington, Conn., Jan. 3, 1812, and was buried at Long Hill Cemetery, Shelton, Conn. Sarah Ufford was a great granddaughter of Thomas Ufford who came with his wife Isabel and three children to Boston in the ship “Lyon” in 1632 with William Curtiss. Thomas Ufford d. in Stratford, Conn., in 1660.
Dec. 19, 1774, at a town meeting held at Stratford, it was “voted nomine contra dicente that a committee be chosen in the several parts of this town to observe the conduct of all persons relative to said association (referring to the Continental Congress) and proceed thereon according to the advice therein given.” Elnathan Curtiss served as one of the committee. The following year, 1775, Elnathan, with eighteen others, again served on a “Committee of Observation” to watch the events which were taking place in connection with the War of the Revolution. There is an account book of the Curtiss family handed down from Elnathan’s time and before, now in the possession of Margaret Curtiss of Shelton, Conn. It contains business accounts, births, deaths and various memoranda. It states: “Elnathan moved into this house Nov. 16, 1748. His father gave him a farm in Huntington, then Ripton, and tools enough to build a house. They came up the river by boat.” The house referred to was, until about 1850, located in what is now Shelton, Conn. A substantial Catholic Church now occupies the site. The book also contains an entry in Elnathan’s writing, made at the time of the marriage of his daughter Ruth, in which he records her as “Debtor as to a
[83]
Ipart of her portion to the amount of 80 pounds lawful money.” There are similar entries concerning the remaining children of Elnathan and Sarah who married, and they probably were intended to be taken into consideration in the distribution of his estate.
Elnathan’s will was filed in Bridgeport, Conn., Apr. 23, 1812, and reads as follows:
“Huntington, April 1st, 1794.
“In the name of God, Amen, I, Elnathan Curtiss of Huntington in the County of Fairfield, being ■weak in body and liable to die but through the goodness of God, am of sound and disposing mind and memory, think it my duty to make this my last will and testament.

[144]CURTISS-THOMPSON FAMILY
I
ANTHONY THOMPSON, immigrant, son of Henry and Dorothy (Swann) Thompson and grandson of Thomas and Dorothy (Honeywood) Thompson, was bapt. Lenham, County of Kent, England, Aug. 30, 1612. He married (i)	who bore him two sons and one daughter.
Subsequent to the death of his first wife he came to America on the Ship Hector, arriving in Boston, July 26, 1637. He married (ii) Kathern	by whom he had two daugh-
ters and a posthumous son. He d. New Haven, Conn., March, 1648. He was among the first settlers of New Haven and is mentioned in the original list as having shares in the first and second division of lands. He, with his brother John, signed the Colony Constitution at New Haven, June 4, 1639. He took the oath of allegiance at New Haven, 1644.
His will made in March, 1647, was nuncupative and probably made in extremis. From the New Haven Colonial Records, Vol. 1, p. 411:
“November 7, 1648.
“The will of Anthony Thompson deceased was presented in Court, made the 23rd of March, 1647, witnessed and underwritten by Mr. John Davenport, pastor, & Mr. Robert Newman, ruling elder of the church of Newhaven.
“A wrighting presented in Court, for the last Will and Testament of Anthony Thompson deceased, made March 23d, 1647.
“Gives to his Eldest Son his inheritance, house and land and meadow he had given him by the Town (only the house, his wife is to have during her life), and ten pounds when he comes to eighteen years of age. To his second son, Anthony, the land and meadow he bought of brother Clarke, and ten pounds to be paid when he comes to the age of twenty-one years. To his daughter, Bridget, what he had by his former wife and fifteen pounds, to be paid her at the age of eighteen years, provided that she disposes of herself in marriage with the consent and approbation of her mother and the elders of the church then being.
[145]“The remander of his Estate to his wife; if she marry again his other daughters to be provided for with equal portions as his other daughter hath, with the advice of the Elders then being.
“To his brothers William and John Thompson, each ten shillings as a testimony of his brotherly love.
“His wife is made sole executrix.
“John Davenport and Robert Newman certified that this writing was his nuncupative will.
“Presented to the court of Magistrates the 27th of May, 1650, not allowed as a legal will, but it was ordered that the wife of the said Anthony Thompson should administer upon the Estate, according to the particulars in this writing contained, per Francis Newman, Secret.”
II
The parents of Anthony Thompson were buried in the Parish Church at Lenham and the following inscription over their remains is still legible:
“Here underlye the bodies of Henry Thompson and Dorothy his wife of Royton Chapel in this parish—He was son and coheir of Thomas Thompson of Sandwich, Merchant, and the eldest daughter of Robert Honeywood of Pett. in Charing, Esq.”
The date of the death of Henry Thompson was Oct. 20, 1648.
The children of Henry and Dorothy (Swann) Thompson were:
i.	Robert, bapt. March 26, 1595.
ii.	Mary, bapt. Oct. 14, 1599.
iii.	Judith, bapt. Aug. 2, 1602.
iv.	John, bapt. Nov. 18, 1604.
v.	Elizabeth, bapt. Sept. 20, 1607.
J 99) vi. Anthony, bapt. Aug. 30, 1612.—
In the chancel of the same church in which the parents of Anthony Thompson were buried were also buried the remains of his eldest brother Robert. A slab in the stone pavement bears this inscription:
“In this bed of earth sleeps the body of Robert Thompson, son and heir of Henry Thompson, of this parish, Esq., sowne in full assurance of to be quickened again at the last day. He married Dorothy, the daughter of Thomas Swann, of Wye, Esq., by whom he had two sons and six daughters; then Sarah, the daughter of George Tucker of Milton, next Gravesend, Esq., by whom he had
[146]six sons and two daughters and died great of the ninth. He forewent his parents into Paradise Sept. 5th, Anno Aetalis 47, Salutis 1642. He was grandchild to that truly religious matron, Mary Honeywood, wife of Robert Honeywood, of Charing, Esq., who had at her decease lawfully descended 367 children, 16 of her own body, 114 grandchildren, 228 in the third generation, 9 in the fourth, whose renon lives with her posterity, whose body lies in this church, and whose monument may be seen at Markes Hall in Essex where she exchanged life for life.”
That portion of this inscription over the remains of Robert Thompson which relates to his grandmother, Mrs. Honeywood, is on a brass plate inserted into the stone slab which covers the grave. The reference to Mrs. Honeywood in an inscription over the grave of a person named Thompson makes it evident that the family of Thompson felt great veneration for her memory and were proud of their descent from her.
The parents of Mary Honeywood and great grandparents of Anthony Thompson and his several brothers and sisters were Robert and Katherine (Bright) Atwater. Robert Atwater, under the laws of England, became the heir of his father’s family and inherited much wealth. After his marriage to Katherine Bright he resided for a while at the manor of Putwood in the parish of Ospringe about 12 miles distant from Lenham. Early in the reign of Henry VIII he purchased the manor of Royton, which lies about one mile southeast of the parish church in Lenham, or so much of it as had not been alienated by former proprietors, and resided there until his death in 1565. It is believed that his change of residence from his ancestral home (for the title of Putwood had been in his family for more than two centuries) was occasioned by the nearly simultaneous death of the twelve sons whom his wife had borne to him. Their death was occasioned by the plague which swept Europe in the seventeenth century. Subsequent thereto were born Joice (who afterwards was the wife of Humphrey Hales, Esq., and later the wife of Sir Rowland Clark, Knight) and Mary, who was married to Robert Honeywood.
[147]The younger of these two daughters was born in the year 1527. Upon the death of Robert Atwater in 1565, Royton Manor House became the property of the Honey-woods and after the marriage of Dorothy, their eldest daughter, to Henry Thompson, the house became the residence of the Thompsons. There is no record of this marriage at Lenham, perhaps for the reason that the marriage took place in the adjoining parish of Charing where the Honey-woods had another seat. But at Lenham is recorded the baptism of six of the above named eight children of Henry and Dorothy Thompson.
The burial of Henry Thompson, Esq., took place Oct. 20, 1648, he having survived his son Anthony about nineteen months, the son having emigrated to America and been a resident of New Haven, Conn., about nine years.
Ill
Royton Manor House, or, as it is now called, Chapel Farm, is in the parish of Lenham, County Kent. It overlooks the meadow in which the River Stour has its rise. A grassy lane leads from the highway, terminates at a gate which opens into a field where sheep and cattle feed, and where copious, well conditioned barns, some ancient and some recently erected, indicate an extensive and prosperous husbandry. The house is so far from the highway that seclusion, an essential element of an Englishman’s ideal of a home, is in some measure attained simply by the distance; but the world is still more effectually shut out by the brick wall which surrounds the house and garden. The windows at the rear of the house look out upon a mill-pond just beyond the garden wall where the stream is spread out with but little aid from the hand of man into a broad shallow sheet which extends far up into the meadow. The house is
[148]of brick, has, as, the photograph shows, a long frontage on the lane, and over its two tier of windows with diamond shaped !panes set in lead, shows a roof of red tiles, surmounted by three stacks of chimneys.
Although not more than one mile distant in a bee-line from the parish church and not more than a mile and a half by the highway, Royton Manor House once had a chapel attached to it which served as a place of worship, not only for the inmates of the house, but for the people of the neighborhood, having been endowed for the purpose by an ancient proprietor.
When Henry VIII made his raid upon the revenues of the church, the chapel lost its endowment, was probably not much used after the reformation, and was long ago demolished. Robert Honeywood has, however, recorded in his manuscript entitled Honeywood's Evidences, afterwards printed in the T opographer and Genealogist, Vol. II, page 172, that his grandson Thompson was born on Sunday “ye second day of March, 1594 at Royton House and was there in the chapel baptised by name Robert ye Sunday following.”
Fragments of tile still found in the garden indicate that the site of the chapel which has bequeathed its name to the farm, was at the south end of the mansion. On a still summer day, the hum of the mill just outside the garden wall, deriving its name of Chapel Mill from the same source as the farm, is heard at the farm house along the lane, on the bridge where the stream, still foaming, after its work at the wheel, crosses the highway near the outlet of the lane. The miller’s cottage stands embowered in roses, in the midst of a garden extending from the mill to the thick green hedge which separates it from the lane.
[149]IV
The lifetime of the two daughters of Robert Atwater and Katherine (Bright) Atwater, who were born after the death of their twelve sons, was a time of excitement and great change in matters of religious faith. Joice, the elder daughter, was born a little before 1527. It is impossible to give the year with exactness as parish records were not kept until after the reformation. Her sister Mary was born in 1527—one year after the publication in Antwerp of Tyndale’s New Testament translated into English out of the Original Greek. Wickliffe’s translation of the Bible had been made from the Latin tongue and his Testament of Tyndale was the first translation of the Holy Scriptures, out of the Original Greek into their own tongue which Englishmen had seen. Ten years afterwards John Rogers, the first of the English martyrs published under the assumed name of Thomas Mathew an edition of the Holy Scriptures of both Testaments translated by Tyndale and Coverdale and first printed at Zurich in 1535.
Henry the VIII who at the outbreak of the reformation had written against Luther and had received from the Pope in acknowledgment of his good service, the title of Defender of the Faith, becoming weary of his wife and finding the Pope unwilling to accommodate him by pronouncing Henry’s marriage with his brother’s widow invalid, had gladly received from Cranmer, then young, and in obscurity, the suggestion that the question of respecting the validity of the marriage ought to be decided by appeal to the Holy Scriptures and not to the Pope, and so while Tyndale and Coverdale were prosecuting their work at Zurich and the two children at Royton Manor were gradually becoming capable of receiving instruction, a change was going on in the mind of the monarch which brought him finally into open revolt against the supremacy of the Pope and
[150]more and more under the influence of the friends of the reformation. He rapidly advanced Cranmer to the primacy of the English Church, and obtained from him as Archbishop of Canterbury, what he had in vain solicited from the Bishop of Rome.
Through the influence of Cranmer, Mathew’s Bible received the royal licensure, and an order was issued commanding that a copy should be procured by every parish and chained to a pillar or desk in the church where all the parishioners might come and read. At the same time measures were taken for a revision of the translation, which, when it appeared in 1539, was called Cranmer’s Bible.
While the King was thus permitting the Scriptures to be opened to the people, he was at the same time waging a war of extermination against the monastic institutions. In the quarrel between the King and the Pope, the monks were on the side of the latter, opposing, secretly or openly, the King’s divorce and especially his recent claim to be the earthly head of the English church. In the year 1535 the King ordered a visitation to be made of all monasteries throughout the Kingdom by commissioners authorized to investigate current reports charging immorality among the monks. As a result of this inquiry 376 monasteries were suppressed. In 1537 a new visitation was begun, which included such chapels as that at Royton and in a few years the possessions of 644 convents, 90 colleges, 2374 chantries and free chapels, and 110 hospitals were annexed to the crown.
Among the charges against the monks to be investigated by the commissioners, was that of deceiving the people by means of relics and images. So many and such flagrant abuses were reported under this head that an order was issued in 1538 requiring parish priests to admonish their people that images were of no other use than as a substitute
[151]for books to remind the unlearned of the persons represented by the images and that any use of them was idolatry. The clergy were further directed to take down without delay any images which they knew to be abused with offerings of any kind made thereunto and to suffer no candles or taper to be set before any image or picture.
Robert Atwater of Royton Chapel was an early friend of the new theology. His last will and testament dated “Last day of August, 1563 and proved May 5, 1565” is entirely free from the marks of superstition which are to be found in the wills of earlier date and directs the executors to provide not only for the paving of the Chapel at Royton, but for “an honest priest to sing in the church at Lenham for a quarter of a year for my soul and for all Christian souls.”
Another testator bequeathing his soul to Almighty God and our Lady Saint Mary, bequeaths “toward the buying of a new cope for the chapel at Royton, 6 shillings 8 pence, and to a priest to sing and read in church of Lenham for my soul for the space of a quarter of a year, 3354 d.” Another neighbor and kinsman “Robert Atwater the Elder” in a will dated November 19, 1522, and proved Dec. 22, 1522, bequeaths his “soul to Almighty God, lady Saint Mary, his mother, and all the holy company of heaven.” Bequeaths “two shillings toward the payment of the guilding of the images of our lady and Saint John in the roof loft of the church of Lenham, 32 shillings and 3 pence to a priest to sing and read in the church of Lenham for my soul and for all Christian souls for the space of a quarter of a year.”
But the will of Robert Atwater of Royton Chapel written 41 years later than that of “Robert Atwater the elder” who had been his neighbor on the other side of the highway is theologically of a very different tenor. Instead of requiring that a priest should be employed to sing and read
[152]in the parish church, it expresses confidence in the priesthood of Christ, in the sacrifice which he made for sin here on the earth and in his intercession at the right hand of his Father in Heaven.
If we take the earlier of the two testators as a type of the men of his generation, and the younger of the two as a type of the men who were on the stage of life contemporaneously with himself, in distinction from those who came and went forty years earlier, it seems remarkable that so great a change of theological sentiment could have taken place in so short a time.
But if the new theology took root and made some growth during the life-time of Robert Atwater of Royton Chapel the next generation of his family saw far greater changes than were experienced or witnessed by him.
The eldest of his two daughters became the wife of Humphrey Hales, a son of Sir James Hales. What sort of influence she came under after her marriage one may infer from the following account given to Sir James Hales by Foxe, the Martyrologist, in his “Acts and Monuments.”
“Sir James Hales of the County of Kent was both a wonderful Knight and one of the high judges of the realm, who ordered and finished matters of controversy. Although he did not so much exceed in nobleness of birth and parentage, as he did in virtue, prudence, gravity and true ministering of justice, for which he was in great veneration with all men and was more conspicuous and known to the world thereby than by sight, there was in him by nature grafted a singular gift of prudence, which afterwards by much practice, he brought to a marvelous good perfection, besides that by his assiduous travail and exercise in demurring and pleading of matters, he attained to the vein of eloquence wherewith he was trimly qualified. In which kind of study being exercised certain years, he had aspired (being rather thereunto compelled) to the high benches where he executed his function with such justice, fidelity, constancy and conscience, that even the law itself seemed no less to be printed
[153]and written in his life and doings than in the very volumes of papers. He was always upright, a justicier and conscion-able a judge, declining curruption and embracing law and equity.”
“To these his gifts and qualities, were linked alike sincerity and hearty affection to religion and the gospel of Christ, whereunto he had been by many years most earnestly set and addicted; showing himself to be a gospeler no less by his word than deed and no less at home than abroad; and as he was godly himself, so brought he his family to his godly line and order. He had daily service at his house, which was not ministered by any of his household or writing chaplains but by his own self, to the intent he might be the better example to the rest; joining with this devotion the often reading of the holy scriptures. After this sort and manner he passed his life all King Edward’s time: either being busied in weighty and public affairs, or else bestowing his time in virtue and godliness.”
Transferred by her early marriage from her quiet home at Royton, Joice Atwater found her new friends not less favorable than those she had left behind to the changes already brought about by the reformers and equally willing to see her future progress in the work of reformation. She was married about three years after the appearance of Cranmer’s Bible and about five years before the accession of King Edward.
During these latter years of King Henry’s life the reformed doctrines were making progress in England through the influence of the recently opened scriptures rather than by means of ecclesiastical changes. Henry cared but little for the reformation except as it rendered him independent of the Pope, but multitudes of the people having learned the way of life by searching the Scriptures, waited and hoped for reform in the worship of the church.
King Edward during his brief reign of six years, five months and nine days, more than fulfilled the hopes of this class of his subjects. Choosing his advisers from the fore-
[154]most of the reformers, he heartily assented to their wishes for a reformation of worship and procured the passage of an Act of Parliament forbidding the celebration of Mass. During the whole period of his reign, the Scriptures were very much circulated and read.
The early death of this young Josiah was a great disappointment to all who approved of the changes which he had wrought and to none greater than to Sir James Hales. Yet he was too conscientious a lawyer to join the attempt made by the Protestant party to set aside the claim of the Princess Mary to the throne, and alone of all the judges of the realm, refused to subscribe to the will and testament which King Edward was persuaded to make, excluding both his sisters from the succession and placing the crown on the head of Lady Jane Grey. But with equal conscientiousness, when certain priests were indicted before him for saying Mass while the Act of Parliment forbidding the celebration of Mass still remained in force, he gave orders for their punishment as the law required. Queen Mary so much resented fidelity to the law in the latter case that Judge Hales entirely lost the good opinion she had conceived of him for standing faithfully in her cause of just succession. Refusing to purge himself when questioned, by the Lord Chancellor in the Queen’s name, on the plea that he had acted according to the law, he was cast into prison. Committed first to the King’s Bench, he was removed after some months to the Compter of Braed Street and afterwards was carried thence to the Fleet. In the latter prison he was shut up in a part where the noise of the streets, the tumult of the concourse, the night and day troubles of the talk of artificers, the coming to and fro of men, and, besides the noise of the prisoners hard by singing about his head, troubled him in such sort that he could not take his rest.
Foxe suggests that his adversaries made him change [155]prisons so often and placed him where he would suffer for want of sleep in order that they thereby might shake his constancy. However this may be, they claimed at last that he had made some concessions; but whatever may have been the nature and extent of his retraction, he had probably lost his reason before he surrendered, for the next morning he attempted to commit suicide with a pen knife and ever after continued melancholy till he drowned himself in a small stream near his house in Canterbury.
Mrs. Joice Hales found not only in her husband and her husband’s family sympathy in her attachment to the new theology, but was through them drawn into acquaintance with some of the men who at that time were leaders in the reformation. Among these was John Bradford who was burned at the stake at Smithfield in 1555. John Bradford and Humphrey Hales had long been intimate friends, Bradford having been a prebendary in the cathedral at Canterbury, the city of Hales’ birth and residence. It appears that some of the danger which threatened the eloquent preacher, hung over the quiet layman who was of the same faith. But Humphrey Hales did not court martyrdom and was willing to avoid it by a frequent change of residence. During the four perilous years which preceded the death of Mary and the accession of Elizabeth, Humphrey Hales did not go to the continent, as many of like sentiment had gone, and as his friend Bradford had urged him to do, but had lived in retirement, moving from place to place for greater security from accusation. In one instance Bradford secured for Mr. and Mrs. Hales at their request a lodging in the house of his friend and fellow prisoner, Dr. Taylor of Hadley.
The particular danger which hung over persons entertaining such religious sentiments as they did, related to the celebration of Mass. “It is observable,” says Fuller, “that the sacrament of the altar was the main touch-stone to dis-
[156]cover the poor Protestants.” The change in the ritual was legalized by Act of Parliament about six months after the accession of Mary, but as another year was allowed to elapse before extreme measures were resorted to for the suppression of heresy, the period of peril comprised only the last four years of Queen Mary’s life. In former years Humphrey Hales and his wife had attended Mass without any scruples of conscience. They had continued to attend during those later years of King Henry’s reign when the light of God’s word was extending more and more throughout the kingdom. But when Parliament in compliance with the will of King Mary restored the old ritual which had been abolished by a former Parliament in the reign of Edward they conscientiously abstained from being present at the celebration of Mass. With the multitudes the question between the old ritual and the new was of little importance, as it is evident from the ease with which the nation submitted to the three changes successively made by Edward, Mary and Elizabeth respectively. But with such men as Humphrey Hales and such women as Joice Hales and Mary Honeywood the question was one of importance because it involved a principle.
The closest intimacy between Bradford and Mr. and Mrs. Hales continued till the day when he was taken up to heaven in his chariot of fire. When Judge Hales was in prison and suffering in health in consequence of depression of spirits, Bradford wrote him a letter of Christian sympathy with design to strengthen his faith and courage. The letter itself makes it evident that he did so out of friendship to the son and daughter-in-law of the Judge, for he incidentally observed that he is not known to the Judge either by face or name. Several long letters of Bradford to the son and daughter-in-law of Judge Hales are on record, some addressed to them jointly and some to each individually. At the time when the news reached him that the Judge had
[157]committed suicide, he had on hand a letter of religious instruction written for Mrs. Hales, designed to lead her to fuller trust in Christ and correspondingly increased joy and peace in believing. When the sad intelligence reached him, he immediately sent to her what he had written without waiting to finish the letter. The closing paragraph is, “But of this hereafter I trust mouth to mouth to speak to you. Now, as to my soul, I pray and wish unto you, my most dear sister in the Lord ,־ whose grace guide you and his mercy embrace you on every side, forever, amien.”
In grateful acknowledgment of Mrs. Hales’ kind and thoughtful provision for his wants, Bradford dictated two of his treatises to her, and in the evening before his execution, having heard that he would be led to the stake in the morning, he caused his room-mate to whom he committed the disposition of his effects, to write among other memoranda, “To Mistress Hales all the shirts he hath had of her,” and “All his best handkerchiefs to Mrs. Hales.”
A copy of the New Testament translated by Tyndale and printed in 1548, which once belonged to Bradford, has on the flyleaf the autograph of Bradford, with the initials, “J. B.” and “J. H.” Many fragmentary meditations are written on the fly leaves, the hand writing of Bradford, which seem to have been written for Mrs. Hales. The Testament is in ornamental binding apparently of the reign of Elizabeth.
The writing having been cut by the binder it would seem! that the book, after the death of Bradford, had been bound for Joice Hales in memory of the Martyr. A few fragments here are given: “Enimies to God, are such as hate God, so that when in thyself, thou seeast not this hatred of God, think that the punishments tho hast, however great and grievous soever they are, are not the punishments of enimies, but rather the fatherly castigations of chil-
[158]dren, therefore be not dismayed but take occasion as a child to go to God, as to thy Father through Christ, and doubt not of love and friendship according how deeply soever thou hast deserved the contrary.” .... “Whensoever thou seeast a blindness in thy mind and a hardness in thy heart and therefore art troubled, and something there through moved to waver and doubt Gods mercy towards thee, beware that thou be not unthankful to the Lord for the mercy which in this plague he sendeth in that he suffereth thee not so much to see of thy blindness and hardness as it is, for if this little piece, which thou now dost something see, do a little make thy faith to waver, Oh how much would thy faith waver if thou sawest the thing as it is.”
“God will never destroy any—that is not his enemy: but none is his enemy, that would be his friend, that is, that would desire to do his will. Whensoever therefore thou dos’t see in thyself a will consenting to Gods will and lasting to do it, never think that the plague poured out upon thee is to thy destruction, but to thy correction and weal.”
“To fear God is the beginning of wisdom, for by it we depart from evil, and so are more meet to receive God’s grace and fellowship, which cannot be had by them, that walk in darkness, therefore, in as much as this book doth teach true wisdom, if that you will be a reader and student of it see that you bring with you—‘the fear of God,’ for which you must pray heartily: and that you may know when you fear the Lord, mark how you depart from evil and flee from the works of darkness, which thing if you do, then come in God’s name, and with reverence read this book, knowing for certain, that therein the Lord doth speak with you.”
By the death of Queen Mary, and the consequent accession of her sister Elizabeth to the throne the friends of the reformation were delivered from the power of their enemies
[159]and the reformed ritual was soon established by law. Humphrey Hales lived but ten years afterwards, residing sometimes at his place in Canterbury and sometimes at Bewley, an estate in the parish of Boughton, Malherby, which came to his wife by inheritance from his father, and was contiguous to Royton, the residence of her sister and her own home when a child, though in a different parish. After the death of Mr. Hales, she married Edward Isaacs, and becoming again a widow, married Sir Rowland Clark-Knight.
IV
The younger daughter of Robert Atwater became at an early age of 16, the wife of Robert Honeywood. She is the person so much eulogized in the inscription on the brass plate over the grave of her grandchild Robert Thompson of Royton Chapel. A similar eulogy is to be seen on the Monument of another grandchild, Michail Honeywood, Dean of Lincoln. The monument is in the Cathedral of that Diocese and its Latin epitaph commences with the announcement of the Dean’s descent, from “that famous matron Mary Honeywood pious and prolific.” To illustrate the last specification of the eulogy, the Dean used to relate that he was present at a dinner, given by Mrs. Honeywood to two hundred of her descendants. Besides the Latin epitaph on the Dean’s mionument, there is an English inscription on a stone in the pavement, stating that her descendants numbered 367 during her life time. Mrs. Honeywood was a good and pious woman, but like many other good and pious persons, she was afflicted with a religious melancholy and despaired of her own salvation. She appreciated her ill desert as a sinner but did not appreciate God’s ability and readiness to treat as righteous who was so ill deserving. In this state of mind she was visited by some of the most
[160]eminent divines of that day, with intent to heal her wounded spirit, but all their efforts were, for a long time, fruitless. In a conversation with Mr. John Foxe, the Martyrologist, in the agony of her soul, having in her hand a Venice glass, she broke forth into this expression: “I am as surely damned, as this glass is broken,” which she immediately threw to the ground. The glass, however, rebounded and was taken up whole and entire. The event seemed miraculous, yet she took no comfort from it, but continued long after, in her former disconsolate condition, until the last, as Dr. Fuller relates it, “God suddenly shot comfort like lightening into her soul, once entered, ever remained therein, so that she led the remainder of her life in spiritual gladness.”
Sir Alexander Crooke, one of Mrs. Honeywood’s descendants, says: “There is a picture of her at Coleshill, Herfordshire, the seat of the Lord Viscount Folkestone, who is descended from her, as is likewise his lady, through her mother, Lady Mildmay.” . . . “She appears to be a handsome, hale woman of about 50 to 60 years of age, with some red in her cheeks and of a cheerful countenance. Her dress is a close jacket buttoned, with a sort of loose gown over the black silk; she has a small ruff and a large hood which falls over her back, and comes over part of her left arm. In her left hand is a book, and at one corner of the picture her epitaph. Lady Mildred has another picture of her, with the ‘Venetian glass’ in her hand.”
In the family Manor House of Mrs. Honeywood’s son, Robert Honeywood, at Markes Hall in Essex, there was in Sir Alexander Cooke’s day an original picture of Mrs. Honeywood in a widow’s dress, a book in her hand. On the right side of her hat was this inscription in golden letters, “Aetatis suae 70”; on the other side, “Ano Dui. 1597.”
Although Mrs. Honeywood was, according to her own [161]wish, interred in the church at Lenham, her native parish, a monument was erected to her son at his seat at Markes Hall, where she had spent some of her last years. On it was this last inscription, “Mary Atwater, the daughter and co-heir of Robert Atwater of Lenham, Esquire, wife of Robert Honeywood of Charing in Kent, Esquire, her only husband, who had at her decease descended from her 367 children, 16 of her own, 114 grandchildren, 228 in the third generation, and nine in the fourth. She lived a most pious life, and in a Christian manner: died here at Markes Hall in the 93rd year of her age and in the 44th of her widowhood, 11th of May, 1620.”
Among the many eminent divines with whom Mrs. Honeywood was personally acquainted was John Bradford the Martyr. It has already been seen that Bradford was an old friend of her brother-in-law, Humphrey Hales. There is evidence that Mrs. Honeywood’s acquaintance began after Bradford was thrown into prison. Many letters passed between them, as preserved in the collection of Cover-dale and Foxe as well as one which he wrote to her sister, Mrs. Hales.
“When the time of Bradford’s sufferings approached and he was carried to Smithfield to be burnt, Mrs. Honeywood resolved to accompany him. Not deterred by the tumult and the crowds which assembled on such occasions, she pressed forward with undaunted courage and stood as near him as possible, though such was the pressure of the mob that her shoes were trodden off and lost. On their arrival at the place Bradford went boldly up to the stake and lying down flat on his face on one side of it, as a young man who suffered with him did, on the other side, they continued in prayer for some little time, till the Sheriff told him to rise. When they got up, Bradford took a fagot and kissed it, as he did the stake. In the midst of his tortures Bradford
[162]embraced the flaming reeds that were near him, and the last words he was heard to say were, ‘Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.’ ”
At the time of Bradford’s martyrdom Mrs. Honeywood was 28 years old. Her husband died when she was about 49 or 50 years old. Her home at Royton, which she had inherited from her father, passed into the possession of the Thompson family before she was 68 years old, though she spent much of her time in her old age with her daughter, as well as with her other children. Her grandson, Robert Thompson, was 25 years old at the time of her decease and she lived to see Anthony Thompson, who afterwards came to New Haven, attain the age of 8 years. Probably he was one of the 200 descendants she once entertained at a dinner. Whether that dinner was in the dooryard of the house at Royton where she first saw light, we are not informed by her grandson, the Dean of Lincoln, who has informed us there was somewhere such a family party. The family of Henry Thompson with his 8 children, supplemented by the surviving children of his son Robert, would have made a nucleus. But the family of the venerable matron’s eldest son, Robert Honeywood of Markes Hall in Essex, was so much larger that it is probable that the dinner party was at that place. This Robert Honeywood had 20 children. The youngest was a son and received the name of Vicesemus (in Latin the ordinal number which signifies “twentieth”). Dying at Markes Hall, the thoughts of Mrs. Honeywood went to her native parish and she wished to be buried in Lenham. Soon after her death, the parish received valuable gifts, some of which the parishioners believed came directly from! her estate and in accordance with her expressed wish. The pulpit in the Church at Lenham is believed to have been given to the parish by Mrs. Honey-
[163]wood. It is a beautiful piece of carved oak bearing the date 1622. Allowing one year or parts of two years for the execution of the work, there is no difficulty in believing that the pulpit was built by Mrs. Honeywood’s direction or else by the direction of her children as a tribute to her memory. There is in Lenham a row of six almshouses (as they are called in England), with a seventh house for the Governor of the Institution. The money for building and endowing these almshouses was given by Anthony Honey-wood, a son of Robert and Mary Honeywood, who died without issue in 1622. He directed that 40 pounds per annum should be paid to six poor people inhabiting these houses, and the remainder of the income be for the use of the Governor.
In the year 1622, when the pulpit was built and the money given for the almshouses, John Atwater, the father of Anne, Joshua, and David, the three Atwaters who came to New Haven with Davenport and Eaton in 1638, was a church warden in the parish of Lenham. If we could summon him into our presence we could soon have an answer to the question, “Who gave the money for the pulpit and the almshouses?”
With the three children of this John Atwater there came across the ocean three sons and at least one grandson of his near neighbor, Henry Thompson. There was some distant relationship between the two families but how distant and how near it cannot be determined. Robert Atwater of Roy-ton Manor came to Royton about 40 years after certain other Atwaters came thither from the same parish from which he came.
He was a rich man, owning many manors in different parishes. One of his manors was in the possession of his family for two centuries, which fact shows that he was the eldest son and heir of one who had been in a previous gen-
[164]eration an eldest son and heir. After he was a resident of Royton he was assessed 20 pounds, as his share of those contributions which were called by the name of a “Loan to the King.”
But though he was much richer than his relations whom he followed from Ospringe to Lenham, some of them were his own kinsmen. When he made his will in 1565, he used the expression, “Every of my brothers children,” and in a way which would be natural if they were well known in the neighborhood where the testator resided, but unnatural if they lived twelve miles away. The relations of their rich neighbors were free-holders, but the number of their acres was exceedingly sm!all as compared with those held in this distinguished manor by the lord of the manor, to say nothing of the lands he possessed elsewhere. The relation they sustained to him, illustrates at the same time that condition of things in the Middle Ages when the land was mostly owned by a few proprietors, and that peculiar condition of Kent, with its many small proprietors and divisions of estates by gavel kind, in which the Norman conqueror found it, and allowed it to remain. The larger estates were disgaveled and went from eldest son to eldest son, but in many cases parental affection provided younger sons with small parcels of land held by a freehold title. In this way probably the neighbors of Robert Atwater of Royton Manor, who were his blood relations, had come into possession of their little fields, by the favor of his father or grandfather. It is possible even that the children of his brother to whom he refers in his will had become freeholders by his assistance.
Anthony Thompson stood in a position toward his father and elder brother similar to that in which the Royton At-waters, who were on the south side of the highway, had stood seventy years before to their kinsman dwelling in the same Manor house where Anthony was born.
[165]When Anthony came to America his father was still living, but his father’s real estate was secured to Robert and Robert’s heirs by entail. How much non-conformity had to do with Anthony’s expatriation of himself, we cannot ascertain with any exactness. However little or however much he was influenced by such considerations, we can see that he had little of worldly success to look forward to if he re■! mained at Royton, and some chance of an opportunity to better his fortune to hope for if he went to the new world. The result of his venture was an increase of his worldly estate. He brought to New Haven £150, and when he died ten years afterwards, his inventory amounted to £236 18s. lOd. How much of this increase was due to his own efforts, and how much of it came to himl from his father, who survived him about one year we cannot determine. As his father’s oldest son and heir died in 1642, five years earlier than Anthony, it would be natural for the bereaved old man to send a present to Anthony. The nuncupative will of Anthony Thompson, made in New Haven in the hearing of Mr. Davenport and Elder Newman, makes it evident that two younger brothers had accompanied him across the ocean.
The famous Yale “bowl” and the Athletic Field of Yale University are located on a portion of the farm formerly owned by Anthony Thompson. The children of Anthony Thompson by his first wife were as follows:
(100)	i. John, b. 1632.—
ii.	Anthony, b. Dec., 1634.
iii.	Bridget, b. 1636; m. Rev. John Bowers of
Guilford, New Haven, and finally Derby, Conn.

JOHN THOMPSON1, son of Anthony Thompson by his first wife, was b. 1632 in England; d. June 2, 1707. He was a seafaring man, and was known as the “Skipper” and “Mariner” and “Mr.” John Thompson. The History of Goshen says that his wife was Hellena	, while
according to Thompson Lineage, he married Aug. 4, 1656, Anne Vicars. Hellena is said to have died Apr. 8, 1690; she may have been his second wife. At his death his estate inventoried only nine pounds, eight shillings, sixpence. His son Joseph was administrator of the estate. He was Selectman of New Haven in 1688. They had children:
(101)	i. John, b. New Haven, Conn., May 12, 1657.—
ii.	William, b. New Haven, Conn., 1660; m. Han-

JOHN THOMPSON, son of John and Anne (Vicars) Thompson, b. probably in New Haven, Conn., May 12, 1657; m. May 9, 1682, Rebecca, dau. of Stephen and Ann (Gregson) Daniel. She was b. Jan. 30, 1657-8. He d. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 15, 1711. Administration was granted to his widow and his son Daniel, Nov. 15, 1711. The estate appraised by his brothers John and William
[167]amounted to four hundred and twenty-eight pounds, ten shillings. He was a Lieutenant in the Colonial Army, as is evidenced by the inscription on his tombstone, as given by the New Haven Historical Society’s Papers, Vol. 3, p. 594. They had children:
i. Anna, b. Mar. 20, 1683; m. May 4, 1711, Thomas Ives.
(102)	ii. Daniel, b. Oct. 31, 1685.—

(102)
DANIEL THOMPSON, son of Lieut. John and Rebecca (Daniel) Thompson, was b. probably at New Haven, Conn., Oct. 31, 1685; m. Jan. 16, 1717, Mary Ball. They had children:
(103)
LIEUT. COL. JABEZ THOMPSON1, son of Daniel and Mary (Ball) Thompson, was b. Goshen, Conn., July 3, 1727; m. Waterbury, Conn., Oct. 25, 1748, Sarah Gunn. According to the town records of Derby, Conn., he was killed Sept. 15, 1776, in the retreat from New York. A tradition is recorded that “he was killed while in command of
[168]his troops on Long Island on the retreat of the Revolutionary Army, and that his body was buried with honor by the English officers who had been his companions in arms in the French War.”
The French and Indian war rolls of Connecticut show that Jabez Thompson was 1st Lieutenant, 7th Company, Capt. Buckingham, Col. Elihu Chancy’s regiment, enlisted Sept. 1st, discharged Dec. 21, 1755, and two years later he served with the same rank in the 2d company Lieut.-Col. Whiting, Gen. (Col.?) Phineas Lyman’s regiment, enlisting Mar. 8th, and receiving his discharge Nov. 24th. In 1758 he saw service from Mar. 27th until Nov. 17th as Captain-Lieutenant in the 2d regiment under Col. Nathan Whiting. His name is on the roll of 1759 but with no dates. In 1760 he enlisted with the same rank on Mar. 24th and was discharged Oct. 30, 1760. He is possibly identical with the Jabez Tomson, Adjutant, who, according to the same roll, enlisted Mar. 24th and was discharged Nov. 20, 1760. His name is found on the roll for 1761 as Captain of the 5th company, 2d regiment, commanded by Col. Nathan Whiting.
The town of Derby showed its recognition of his ability by making him selectman in 1761, 1762, 1763 and 1764, and in the troublous times preceding the Revolution he again filled the same office in 1774 and 1775. Major Jabez Thompson is the third name on the committee of fourteen appointed at the tow!n meeting held at Derby, Nov. 29, 1774, to carry out the association plan recommended by Congress. At the Lexington alarm in April, 1775, Major Jabez Thompson and Captain Nathaniel Johnson marched from Derby with thirty-two men, and it has been thought probable that this company was at Bunker Hill, but there is a record that on the 23d of July “the Derby company passed through Hartford from their station at New Haven
[169]on their way to Cambridge.” This indicates that the men from Derby did not take part at the battle of Bunker Hill, but were present at the siege of Boston. The rolls of the companies representing almost every town in the state that marched on the Lexington alarm give a total of over twenty-five hundred men in the State of Connecticut. As only a few hundred Connecticut troops were at Bunker Hill, many must have returned home, and the Derby company was probably among them.
The fact that some of the inhabitants questioned the right of the colonies to make armed resistance “made it necessary to watch the movements of all persons throughout the country, lest enemies at home might do more harm than any abroad, and therefore it became necessary to appoint in each town a Committee of Inspection.” The town of Derby selected on Dec. 11, 1775, such a committee of thirty-two members, and the third name is that of Col. Jabez Thompson. The History of Derby refers to him (p. 176) as a man “of high standing.”
The appointment of Capt. Jabez Thompson to be Major of the 2d regiment of militia was made by the General Assembly in October, 1775. Hinman gives the following: “During the same session in April, 1775, the officers for six regiments were appointed to take command of the enlisted troops of the colony, when the Governor was desired and authorized to commission said officers according to their rank, and warrants for the staff, First Regiment, as follows, viz.: David Wooster, Esq., to be major-general; Joseph Spencer, Esq., to be brigadier-general; Israel Putnam, Esq., to be second brigadier-general.
“Major-General David Wooster, colonel of the 1st regiment and captain of the 1st company, etc. .	. Jabez
Thompson, 1st major of the 1st regiment and captain of
[170]the 3rd company.” (Benedict Arnold was captain of the 5th company.)
In the autumn the regiment took part in the operations along Lake George and Lake Champlain, assisted in the reduction of St. Johns in October, and was afterwards stationed in part at Montreal. Much sickness prevailed in the command and many soldiers were furloughed or mustered out in October and November.
His commission, dated May 1, 1775, “in the 15th year of the Reign of his Majesty, King George the Third,” from Jonathan Trumbull, Captain-General, etc., appointed him “First Major of the First Regiment of the Inhabitants enlisted and assembled for the special Defense and Safety of his Majesty’s said Colony.” In May, 1775, the General Assembly appointed him to be Lieutenant-Colonel of the 2d regiment of militia. On the retreat of the British army from Boston in the Spring of 1776, General Washington, in a letter dated Mar. 14th, made an appeal for reinforcements. On account of the threatened occupation of New York City by the British and the importance of prior possession of that place “the Governor and Council of Connecticut unanimously resolved that the present was a very important crisis and might determine the fate of America.” Accordingly orders were given to detach a sufficient number of men from various regiments to form two new regiments which were to be sent to Washington’s army. One of these regiments was to be under the command of Col. M. Talcott, Lieut.-Col. Jabez Thompson, and Major Silvanus Graves. This regiment was exposed to the first attack of the enemy on New York, Sept. 15, 1776, and contributed to the panic at Kip’s Bay. It was in this action that Lieut.-Col. Jabez Thompson of Derby, commanding the second regiment was killed. They had children:
[171]i.	Lois, b. Dec. 29, 1749.
ii.	Anne, b. Mar. 5, 1753.
iii.	Sarah, b. Feb. 21, 1756. (104) iv. Jabez2, b. Jan. 7, 1759.•
v. Eunice, b. Jan. 5, 1762.
(104)
JABEZ THOMPSON2, son of Lieut, Col. Jabez and Sarah (Gunn) Thompson, was b. Derby, Conn., Jan. 7, 1759; bapt. First Congregational Church, Derby, Conn., Mar. 11, 1759; m. between 1774 and 1782, Hannah, dau. of Lieut. Oliver and Hannah (Clark) Curtiss. Oliver Curtiss, bapt. Stratford, Conn., May, 1731, was a son of Nathaniel and a grandson of William Curtiss and probably this marriage was the first alliance between the Thompson and Curtis families. The parents of Hannah were married Apr. 2, 1754, and her mother was the dau. of William and Hannah (Peck) Clark who came about 1735 from Lyme Center to Derby. William Clark was descended from Thomas Clark, mate of the Mayflower. It is interesting to note that three of the sons of Jabez and Hannah (Curtiss) Thompson married each a daughter of Abijah and Caty (Curtiss) Hull, and that their daughter, Betsy Thompson, married Abijah2, a son of Abijah Hull and Caty Curtiss, the latter being a direct descendant of John Curtiss (40).
In a following generation, Jabez4, son of William and Hannah (Hull) Thompson, m. Clarissa (Curtiss) Hotchkiss (57), dau. of Joseph and Mary (Polly Hart) Curtiss, a lineal descendant of John Curtiss (40), which was the sixth marital alliance between the Thompson and Curtiss descendants.
From his youth Jabez2 was a sailor and was lost at sea with his eldest son, Jabez, in 1794, while in command of a West India trading vessel owned by himself. He was a
[172]man of estimable life and character, as is attested by the funeral oration delivered by Canfield Gillett before King Hiram Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons at Derby, Dec. 23, 1794: “To us, my friends, his loss is great, his agreeable manners, worthy carriage, his long and constant attention to our meetings; with a heart big with sensibility, benevolence and charity are those virtues that endeared him to all, and heightens and aggravates his loss.”
The greater part of the property was lost with the father by the sinking of the ship, and his widow, left with a large family of children, had only a small farm. The eldest surviving son, William, was a sailor and it became necessary for the boys to care for themselves, leaving the farm for the mother and their sisters. They had children:

With his wife and step son, John Hotchkiss, Jr., then a babe, he moved to Buffalo, N. Y., and shortly thereafter settled on a farm at Leon Mills owned by
[174]his uncle, Harry Thompson, where all of his children were born. He not only engaged in farming, but operated the Leon Mills, and dealt quite extensively in live stock. He accumulated and drove large herds of beef cattle from Western New York overland to the New York and Philadelphia markets until rail transportation rendered that method obsolete. He was appointed Postmaster of Leon by President Van Buren and retained the office under President Tyler until after 1843. He moved from Leon to Randolph, N. Y., in 1860, and retired from active business. He was a kind hearted and industrious man and a good citizen.

CURTISS-TORRANCE FAMILY
I
When in the days of that English King to whose stupid obstinacy is charged the pregnant quarrel which issued in the Independence of Britain’s American Colonies, Robert Torrance joined himself to one of the many companies of emigrants who were leaving the North of Ireland for the freer atmosphere and larger opportunity of the New World, he was merely reproducing, after a lapse of an hundred years, the action of his colonist Scotch ancestor.
That he was an adventurous lad there is no doubt. The roving spirit which moved him to cross the Atlantic in those perilous times—it was in the year of our Lord one thousand
[183]seven hundred and fifty-four*—compared favorably with his ancestor’s decision to make a settlement in Ireland. There was this difference. In the case of his ancestor, Hugh Torrance, the times were less propitious. Whether he remained in Scotland or sought a refuge in Ireland he was equally harassed. Tradition has it that he was one of the despised and hunted Covenanters whose untold sufferings on the heath-clad hills and moss-hags of Scotland were the price paid for overthrow of tyranny in the homeland. His removal to Ulster, the northern province of Ireland anticipated the worst of the persecution; otherwise his lot might have been that of the Pilgrim Fathers or other expeditions of the same century. As it was, however, he remained with those who faced and beat tyranny at its source.
The North of Ireland was then an inhospitable region— the most difficult part to bring to order and good government. And after the settlement known as the Ulster Plantation in the opening years of James I’s reign, the periods of peace were few. It is for that reason we know so little of Hugh Torrance’s life in his new home. Recurring rebellions of the natives gave no possible chance for the survival of records, either public or private. This much is certain, if he was a sharer in the horrors of the 1641 Rebellion in County Londonderry, where he finally made his home, he was faced with the stern work of reconstruction when the civil wars were ended. He was just of the stock fitted for that task. It is recorded in the state papers that had it not been for
*A brisk passenger trade was being carried on between Ulster and America, and advertisements like the following were appearing in the newspapers of 1760:
“The Nancy, brigantine of Coleraine, 100 tons, James Irvine, commander, will sail from Skerries Road, Portrush to Philadelphia by 1st June next.”
Portrush, the now popular watering-place, was the nearest point of departure for Aghadowey people. Another advertisement announces a vessel as mounted with 16 carriage guns, and completely fitted with close quarters.
A message from P.oston the same year. 1750. announces the arrival from Ireland of 200 passengers, among whom were several persons of considerable substance.
[184]the industrious character of the Scotch colonists the rest of the inhabitants would have starved. An effort was made to discourage the Scots; but these hardy men came trooping in companies across the narrow channel that separated the two islands bringing with them the grit and character that has made distinctive the race of the Ulster Scot. Bits of the very granite that crops out on Ulster hillsides can be traced near the Clyde in Scotland, perhaps the result of Glacial movements. So an interchange of the people has taken place in the course of the ages.
If, on the other hand, Hugh Torrance crossed the Channel about the time when we find mention of his name in State records (1663), he may have been forced to flee from the terrors of the new regime that followed on the restoration of the Merry Monarch, when those who had been faithful to the cause of the Covenant were subjected to persecution. He was perhaps a younger son and may have brought his patrimony with him. To have been one of the half dozen substantial men in his parish meant that he had already attained to a position of comparative comfort. In the Subsidy Roll of 1663, where his name appears in the townlands of Caheny and Culnaman, as liable to taxation in the latter, he was rated for “goods,” which indicated a certain limit of valuation. The Scots were proverbially poor and proud. It was reported of those of them who came to Ireland at the Plantation, both lords and lairds, that they had small purses but much “port” or carriage.
In Ulster there are well-preserved examples of the castellated houses built by the younger sons of Scottish lairds. The avenues to success in life were few. There was little commerce; and after soldiering there was a choice between the Church and the law for a career. Farming, unscientific as it was in those days, needed capital. And such was the vocation of the first Torrance in the Bann Valley.
[185]While the correct descent from Scottish ancestry cannot be traced, it is an education in itself to follow the name of Torrance to its source. It means an excursion into the mediaeval origin of surnames; a delightful exploration of the half legendary tales of the national heroes, Wallace and Bruce, and of the very scenes of their exploits. It reveals a family relationship with actors in the wonderful drama in which figured the fascinating Mary, Queen of Scots, with all her story of intrigue and tragedy. It was a distant kinsman of the ancient Torrance family that ended the life of the Regent Moray, the Queen’s brother. Again, he who would essay to follow Torrance ancestry, must traverse some of the romantic and picturesque spots of Scotland—the straths and haughs of Lanarkshire or the rocks and fells of Stirlingshire, where even a century ago were seen the fox and the eagle, and heard in all its glory, the choir of the feathered creation.
The name Torrance embodies in itself a vignette from nature. On the estate in Lanarkshire that goes by the name situated about ten miles from, Glasgow is a little hill known as “The Tor,” a Gaelic word meaning a hill. By the addition of two suffixes (the diminutive “an” and the place termination “s”) we have Torans, indicating a dweller at a knoll or hillock.
The present mansion-house came into existence in 1605 when the Hamiltons, a branch of the ducal family of that name were in possession. At first a battlemented keep, it was enlarged and extended, and in the beginning of the 19th century its grounds presented a fine example of the landscape gardener’s art, advantage being taken of the natural beauty of the river Calder which runs past to meet the Clyde. In the sixteenth century the lands were dominated by a baronial structure to suit the warlike character of that stormy period of feuds and forays. Except for what has
[186]been enshrined in the language of heraldry nothing seems to have survived as a record of the ancient family of Torrance. The armorial bearings have in one case three boat oars, and in another a bull’s head, with the motto “I saved the King,’* an allusion to a service rendered to Robert Bruce in the days before he won immortal fame as the saviour of his country’s honour and liberties at Bannockburn, 1314, where he defeated the English forces. While wandering as a fugitive in the West of Scotland his career would have ended but for the timely assistance of two men of the name of Torrance who rowed him across a firth so outdistancing his pursuers. Hence the three oars on the family shield. The crest of the bull’s head is interpreted in like manner, having been given for a similar act of devotion.
When the male line of this ancient stock ceased, the ancestral possessions passed to a branch of the noble family of Hamilton. James Hamilton, grandson of the fourth Lord of Cadzow, married the heiress and became founder of the Hamiltons of Torrance, who held the lands for over 200 years. The Hamiltons of Westbourne, as well as the Hamiltons of Aitkenhead and of Woodhall, were cadets of the House of Torrance. This may be a suitable place to give the story of an Irish Torrance heroine who helped to save the life of a hard-pressed fugitive like her namesakes of a more heroic age. It will serve as an introduction to some account of the Irish families of Torrance, and is given almost in the language of an old lady who recorded' the event some years ago. The scene is the shore of the river Bann in the district which may be called the Torrance Country, but a few miles from the original settler’s habitation.
“Neither difference of religious profession nor inequality of worldly station could weaken the strong bond of Masonic brotherhood. In Movanaghen at Tullyhill, a Freemason called Barney McNamee, a Roman Catholic, quarreled with
[187]one McCool, a Ribbonman of the same creed. Barney unfortunately struck too hard and fractured McCool’s skull. The doctors feared the case would end fatally. Constables came to take Barney in custody. Barney fled. Although he must have been very active then, for some cause, now forgotten, he became exhausted. On reaching the quarry on the Coleraine road the constables were at hand when two brother Masons named Kennedy, from the ‘round thorn’ bushes at Lower Tamlaght appeared on the scene. They supported Barney, one on each side, and partly dragged, partly carried him! along through hedges and across ditches to the Bann Ferry.
“Before the bridge was built at Kilrea this ferry was an important place. William Torrens lived near and had a daughter who was expert with the oar. The three fugitive Masons rushed down to the landing-place, one of them went into the dwelling house, caught up Torrens’ daughter and placed her in the boat, while another seized a spade lying near, broke the chain by which the boat was moored and pushed off from the bank before their pursuers could reach them. Friends who had watched the race anxiously from the Vow side of the river were waiting to rescue them, so Barney got off safely, and eventually recovered. The Kennedys were of an old and respected family.”
There’s a sacred spot almost overlooking the ferry where the above incident took place, a little cemetery on a knoll over which the tombstones scramble with quaint irregularity. It is on the opposite side of the river from the Torrance Country, but in it rest the remains of many of the clan. The peasant will tell you today that the men from “The Derry” bring their dead to their last home here. And when the present writer visited the cemetery he found that several of the oldest tombstones in it bore the Torrance inscriptions and alongside those of the Kennedys, kinsmen by marriage.
[188]Tombstones in an old graveyard on the Bann River opposite the Torrance CountryIndeed the Kennedys were plentiful in North Antrim, and the sentiment of the following lines testifies to their number and power in earlier days:
“Twixt Wigtowne and the town of Aire,
And laigh down by the Cruives of Cree,
You shall not get a lodging there,
Except ye court a Kennedy.”
Tombstones in an old graveyard on the Bann River opposite the Torrance Country.
An attempt to decipher the Torrance monumental inscriptions disclosed a rather curious disregard of the rules of orthography by the sculptor. *In a part of the country where ancient tombstones are very few, the existence of these show the regard the Torrances had for their departed friends.
Before treating of the geographical distribution of the Ulster Torrances it will be well to have a brief outline of the history of the seventeenth century with special reference to the Bann Valley families of Torrance. The part they played in the stirring events of that period is, for reasons already given, a closed book, but the historical setting is necessary.
There were two classes of colonists in Ulster—those who came as part of the settlement Plantation scheme of James I, and those who were fugitives from religious persecution. From whatever cause Hugh Torrance left Scotland, the district of country in which he settled was part of the tern-

[189]tory formerly the country of the O’Cahans—undertaken for plantation purposes by the London Companies or Guilds, which in compliance with the royal charter were obliged to erect castles (with bawns), and by planting men of British birth, formed little communities which should educate the native Irish in more civilized habits of trade and agriculture. The townlands of Culnaman and Caheny, where Hugh Torrance pitched his tent, were not in the territory of the Ironmongers’ Company, the nearest of the twelve divisions of the country made for allotment among the twelve London Companies. There were some reservations for deserving natives and for Church endowments. Culnaman and Caheny were both classed as “native freeholds.” But the agent of the adjoining Ironmongers’ estate was the real ruler of the little domain extending for a distance of several miles along the west bank of the river Bann which separates the counties of Londonderry and Antrim. His name was George Canning, founder of the family which gave to the world the Statesman Canning, the author of the famous expression : “calling a new world into existence to redress the balance of the old.” Life in this region was then dangerous owing to the sudden onslaughts made by the dispossessed natives who lived a kind of nomad existence. Their occupation was chiefly grazing cattle. The settler also engaged in farming and had sheepwalks. His homestead was usually subject to raids from the younger Irish gentry, who still led bands of idle followers after their ancient clan custom.
In one of the fiercest outbreaks of rebellion, that of 1641, the settlers were swept right out of the country, the remnant who had taken refuge in the Castle of the Ironmongers of Agivey, where there was a ferry, being rescued by a relieving force which was hurried to the scene by the loyalist forces in County Antrim. The Castle of the Mercers Company, the next further south, had also surrendered after a
[190]short siege. The progress of the plantation was for a time stopped. All buildings were destroyed. Added to the material damage was the proscription of the religion of the Scottish settlers particularly at the Restoration after the Cromwellian regime.*
When the joy-bells of London rang out the news that Charles II had returned to the throne in 1660, the glad tidings were re-echoed on the distant banks of the River Bann. Oliver’s short but iron rule had wiped out the memory of the cruelties of the first Charles. If the earlier monarch had dealt unsparing blows at the creed of the Scotch settlers, Cromwell had gone even further in endeavoring to transport their leading men out of Ulster entirely. When the Protector died, the reins of government slipped out of the weak grasp of his son Richard, and he retired to his farming.
The London Companies had found that Cromwell had almost outdone Charles, and so pleased were some of them with the change, or so anxious were they to ingratiate themselves with the new ruler, that they hastened to join in the general acclamation. In the Church of Kilrea today hangs an old bell bearing the legend “God save the King, 1660,” which was probably the gift of a rich member of the Mer-
*From Miss Hickson’s Ireland in Seventeenth Century, Vol. I, p. 342. At an inquiry into the Rebellion of 1641 a woman gave evidence with revolting details of treatment meted out to loyalists of Aghadowey:
“A dozen of the Irish rebels came on horseback to Aghadowey, whieh this examinant and her friends perceiving they fled into the bogs, whereupon the said Irish horsemen alighted and pursued them, and took them all” - - - They wounded the woman examinant, and “wished the said Paul Galt, who had a half pike, and Archie Craig, who had a sword to yield their weapons, and that they should have quarter, upon which they yielded.” They then took them into an old fort.. Other rebels came into the fort, and stripped the above mentioned prisoners of their clothes. They shot Paul Galt in the breast when he was on his knees begging mercy. Others of the Irish hastened his death with skene.s. They hoped Archie Craig would sup that night with Christ and put him to a lingering pain; "for being stripped naked they compassed him about, and when one of them pricked him behind with a skean and he, to avoid the pain, would fly forwards, another of them gave him a stab of pike or skean before, to make him run backwards, and accordingly they pricked him on each side, he in the mean time moaning most grievously for the extremity of his ‘torments’ and the deponent said she believed they spent almost two hours in killing Archie Craig. Being asked how she escaped she said they stated they had no orders to kill women.”
[191]cers’ Company, and whose joyful “rhyming and chiming” was heard that same year in the Torrance home near the Bann.
The plaudits that accompanied the change of rulers were of short duration, at least, for such as did not conform to the creed of the King. Hugh Torrance’s minister had then to take to field, preaching in a more retired part of the country, where his flock continued to wait on his ministrations privately. He had attended a meeting of the Synod at Ballymena some ten miles distant to consult with his brethren; but the clatter of a troop of dragoons up the street put a sudden end to their deliberations. The judges on circuit had been ordered by the Government to proclaim the Aghadowey minister—his name was Thomas Boyd—an outlaw.
And yet the sun shone as brightly then in Aghadowey as at any time since. The streams filled with gleaming trout and salmon made their way to the big river amid “haunts of coot and hern.” The scream of the wild fowl was ever and anon heard by the planters who had by this time repaired the damage of the Rebellion, restored the ruined Castle, corn-mill, and three bridges. The population was sparse. There were rude cabins of the wigwam type, but there were also sufficient householders, who could not do without such conveniences as chimneys, to make the tax collector’s visit profitable. The Hearth-money Roll of the year 1663 shows there were 150 persons thus taxable for chimneys and fireplaces in the parish of Aghadowey. Indeed, the landlord, Paul Canning—his father was dead— was the only one with the luxury of four hearths to his castle of Agivey; and in all Ireland with its 200,000 houses there were only 16,000 that had more than one chimney. If we except Coleraine (the nearest market town), Belfast, Car-rickfergus, Derry and a few others, the population of the
[192]North was chiefly rural. Belfast was a town of a few thousand inhabitants.
The terrors of the persecution in Scotland and the disastrous results of the battles of Pentland and Bothwell Brig had driven refugees to Ulster as a safe hiding place for a time, or an asylum preferable to the dungeon or the Bass Rock. A lurid picture has been drawn of the sufferings of the covenanters. “Driven from the towns they assembled on heaths and mountains. Attacked by the civil power they without scruple repelled force by force. At every conventicle they mustered in arms. They repeatedly broke out into open rebellion. They were easily defeated and mercilessly punished, but neither defeat nor punishment could subdue their spirit. Hunted down like wild beasts, tortured till their bones were beaten flat, imprisoned by hundreds, hanged by scores, exposed at one time to the license of soldiers from England, abandoned at another time to the mercy of bands of maurauders from the Highlands, they still stood at bay in a mood so savage that the boldest and mightiest oppressor could not but dread the audacity of their despair.”
Who has not heard of “Bloody Clavers” and his lambs? Or of that sweet maiden, Margaret Wilson, who, rather than renounce her faith, allowed herself to be tied to a stake in the Solway and slowly suffer a martyr’s death by drowning? Mr. Thomas Wylie, a zealous minister of Kirkcudbright, after confinement north of the Tay, escaped to Coleraine where he had relatives. He delivered himself of a very pregnant sentence: “It cannot but be grievous that the keys of our prison doors are hung at the Bishop’s belt and at his only.” Many others followed Wylie’s example and boats of twenty to fifty tons hove to along the coasts of Derry and Antrim while dragoons were scouring the land and Government cutters were sweeping the North Channel.
And the maiden forlorn sighed and sang:
[193]“How blythe wi’ my Sandy, out o’er the brown fells,
I hae followed the flocks through the fresh heather-bells! But now I sit greeting amang the lang broom,
In the dowie green clench where the burnie glides doon.
“O wae to the traitors! an’ black be their fa’,
Wha banished my laddie ayont the wide sea,
That aye was so leal to his Country and me.
“But the cruel oppressors shall tremble for fear,
When the true-blue and orange in triumph appear ;
And the star of the east leads them o’er the dark sea,
Wi’ freedom to Scotland, and Sandy to me!”
A check was placed upon this denominational strife in Ireland when the Protestants were forced to combine against a common foe and resist the army of James II, which was steadily moving towards the stronghold of Londonderry, where by their final stand they won undying glory in the famous siege, whose fame is world-wide.
Research has failed to unearth the names of most of those who took part in this episode of British history, which saved the Empire. The regiments of William of Orange occupied positions on the Derry side of the Bann, and in their retreat northwards passed through the Torrance Country. Before this, however, the Protestants there under Captain Blair beat back some of the Irish who had crossed the river at Agivey ferry. All the able-bodied men were called into action, but many of their families were driven to the walls of Derry.
It was in these Williamite Campaigns that Sergeant Hugh Torrance served. There was much discontent among the regiments after the war ended for several reasons, but chiefly because of the difficulty of recovering arrears of pay. A document preserved in the Public Record Office, Dublin, has been discovered, of the date 1705, in which Hugh Torrance’s name occurs with others of Captain William Moore’s
[194]Company (Col. Thomas St. John’s Regiment), who had commissioned one Taggart to visit London and petition the authorities for justice in rfespect of arrears, but with very disappointing results.
A lieutenant who served with distinction in the Siege of Derry afterwards entered the ministry of the Presbyterian Church, and was ordained in 1701, over the congregation of Aghadowey, the parish in which lay the townlands of Cul-naman and Caheny. The Rev. James McGregor thus became the minister having pastoral oversight of the families of Torrance. Much interest attaches to him from his having been the leader of a band of emigrants from the Bann valley in 1718, just the time which coincides with the beginning of the tide of Scotch-Irish emigration that lasted through most of the century. They landed at Boston, divided into parties some of which later drew together, and formed a township, which they called Londonderry, in what is now New Hampshire.
A Ms. Congregational book which began with the ministry of McGregor at Aghadowey, and which is in his handwriting at the date of his departure, is still preserved by the Presbyterian Historical Society at Belfast, Ireland. It was continued until the year 1761, and contains some references to Torrances. Archibald Torrance and Archibald Mc-Pheadrice were appointed collectors for a “quarter” of the congregation, under date February 19th, 1705-06. This is probably the same Archibald whose will is preserved in Dublin Record Office, and was admitted for probate in 1748. He had sons, David and Alexander, both abroad at the time of his death. He left substantial amounts to his sons, and to his daughters, Janet, Mary and Marion. He had a cousin Alexander Torrance. Horses, black cattle and sheep formed part of his property, as also his lease of his farm in Carnroe, a townland on the river Bann. His father, Alexander Tor-
[195]rance, of the same place, whose will was proved in 1717, had as well as Archibald, two sons, John and Hugh. Archibald’s sons-in-law were William Archibald and Samuel Millar. Hugh Torrance appears to have been a member of Aghadowey congregation in 1714.
In the same church record occurs the name of Alexander Torrance and his appointment as ruling elder in 1739. He also held the office of Treasurer at any rate from 1743 till 1761, when the Ms. ends. His signature occurs under date May 3rd, 1743. Doubtless Alexander Torrance, of Mulla-hinch, whose will was proved in 1771, was the same person. He had sons, James and Alexander, and speaks of “my brother’s son Robert Torrans.” He had sons-in-law, Hugh Henry and Samuel Heslet. By an entry found in an old record of Bovevagh Congregation under date March 8th, 1761, Samuel Heslet and Elizabeth Torrens of the “parish of Bovedie,” were proclaimed for marriage. The mention of Boveedy as the congregational district of the wife suggests that the family had moved further north from either Mayou-ghil or Culnaman, and makes it more likely that Alexander Torrance was brother of Hugh, father of Robert Torrance, “my brother’s son,” in the words of the will.
At this time was beginning that period of the manufacture of linen that brought prosperity to the district of Aghadowey. The first bleaching mills and greens in the county arose there. The good supply of water in the streams that flow into the Bann was an important factor in the industry. But the spinning and weaving were done in the homesteads of the farmers before the manufacture became centralized in the factories after the industrial revolution of the beginning of the last century. And families emigrating to America carried knowledge of the industry with them, just as the French Huguenots who fled to Ireland after the Edict
[196]
of Nantes was revoked benefited similarly the country of their adoption.
A brief survey of the several families of Torrance in Ulster, records of whom have been found, will indicate the possible sources of origin of those of the name now in America. Following the road from Aghadowey right west we come to the shores of Lough Foyle in the Parish of Tam-laghtfinlagan bordering on which there were Torrance families. The Presbyterian Congregational name was Ballykelly from the chief town on the proportion. In the neighboring parish of Faughanvale there was William Torrance residing in the townland of Tully (Hearth-money Roll, 1663). He may have been progenitor of the families living in Tamlaghtfinlagan Parish in the following century. A 1740 Protestant Householders’ List gives the names John, George and Adam Torrance, all of which occur in the line of Sergeant Hugh Torrance, the emigrant.* The entries in the congregational book of Ballykelly show James Torrance’s children, Sarah and Mary, baptized in 1705-07; and the marriages of Abram Torrance and Margaret Calwel (Feb. 4th, 1708) and John Torrance and Ann Martin (Dec. 29th, 1721). Abram’s child John was baptized Nov. 20th, 1709.
The will of Abraham Torrance, dated 1763 and proved 1773, gives the residence as Ballymacran, and his brothers’

[197]names, Paul, William, George and James. The Martins and Torrances were related, and in a lease of land (1800) made by Paul Torrance, of Ballymacran, Samuel Martin, attorney-at-law, who is mentioned, was father of the eminent judge, Baron Sir Samuel Martin. In the same parish of Tamlaghtfinlagan there were residing in Ballynarog in 1768 Hugh Torrance and Jennet (Lang), his wife, as seen by a land deed of that date. Other families were in Carrow-muddle and Carrowclare; and Largy had two families in 1740.
The change of the spelling of the name to Torrens was clearly due to a branch of the family whose members through rising to positions of influence in the Church, which was at that time supported by the State, acted in an official capacity in the administration of the law. The founder of the family in Ireland was, according to family tradition, a Swedish officer who had served in the army of William III, and after resigning his commission settled in Dungiven, a small town ten miles from Derry and fourteen from Agha-dowey. The arms of the family, a martlet between two laurel branches, indicate a different descent from the families already mentioned. Further, the latter were all nonconformists in religion. Among the descendants of Thomas Torrens of Dungiven, are to be noted three brothers, one of whom became Archdeacon of Dublin, and his brother was Justice of the Common Pleas. A third brother, Sir Henry Torrens, rose to high rank in the army. Robert Torrens, political economist, was of this family, as also was Sir R. R. Torrens, author of the Torrens Act in Australia. They claimed a foreign origin for their name. It probably depends on tradition. A suggested derivation of Torrens is from Torigny in Manche.
Leaving County Londonderry for the present we find among the seventeenth century planters in County Tyrone,
T198]Hugh Torrence of Drumenlin and George Torrence in Aghaleny (Hearth-money Roll, 1666). Both places are in the extreme west of the county, the latter in the parish of Termonamongan, Barony of Omagh, while Drumenlin was in the Barony of Clogher, where the Manor of Ballymafcill was erected at the Plantation.
The grantee, George Ridgeway, named the manor Thomas Court, in honour of his brother, Sir Thomas Ridgeway, afterwards Earl of Londonderry.
There were at the same time in County Antrim three families of Torrance—John Terrance in the town of Bally-money, and William Torrans in Ballynegarvy, both places being situated just on the other side of the river from Agha-dowey. The Torrance in Ballymoney Parish in 1740 was named Roger.
The present agent of the Belfast Estate belonging to the Earl of Shaftesbury, as representing the Donegall family, is Mr. T. H. Torrens, who is probably the descendant of one of the two of the name who were resident in the townland of Cogry, near the town of Ballyclare, which lies about eight miles north of Belfast. Their names were James and Archibald “Terens.”
There is a picturesquely situated little town on the shore of Strangford Lough, noted as being the birthplace of Sir Hans Sloane, the eminent London physician, also the founder of the British Museum. Here we find in an early Presbyterian register, which was preserved in the Castle of the Marquis of Dufferin and previously in the Castle of Killy-leagh, one of the oldest in Ulster, a record of a Torrance family. The name was written variously Torrenys and Torrens, and the Christian names indicate an English extraction. The heads of the families were Ralph, Richard and Thomas. Ralph’s children (1725-47) were Ann, John, Richard, Henry, Edward and Simon. Children born to [199]Richard (1736-1755) were Vera, Ann, Samuel, Sara and Richard. Also Thomas Torrens had a son baptized Richard, in 1747.
It is in the Bann Valley district that we find the most persistent evidence of the increase of the Torrance families. Back to the year 1761 can be traced the occupancy of the Mayoughil freehold land from Hugh, father of Robert Torrance, the emigrant, through his sons till the present day, when the family tree has spread out widely. In this branch old and respected members are passing from the world yearly and are being replaced by a younger stock. The present occupant of the property bears the ancestral name. The farmers are now mostly owners of their land through the revolution that has taken place in the system of land tenure during the past fifty years. By State aid the large land-owners have been “brought out,” and their tenants will soon be actual owners.
When the six escheated counties of Ulster were taken over by the government for a scheme of plantation, the intention of Sir Arthur Chichester was to have a contented tenantry, but with some of the old feudal conditions still in force. The territory was divided into “proportions” of three sizes, and these were allotted to “undertakers” or grantees who agreed to observe certain conditions of the Plantation. These chief tenants were to make leases to worthy yeomen for a certain number of years, thus assuring them of security in their possessions and improvements. But these desirable provisions were not observed in County Londonderry as a rule. In the course of time the estates were leased to middlemen who again sub-let to tenants who had again their undertenants. Land rose in value, and many of the men who emigrated to America named excessive rents as one of the chief causes of their departure. What was called the “Ulster custom,” whereby the tenant gradually gained an
[200]interest in his property, which enabled him to dispose of his good will to a purchaser, operated somewhat against the need for leases, and in many cases a tenancy from year to year was deemed sufficient.
In the case of Mayoughil and Culnaman, which were held by middlemen, there were leases for lives. Sometimes they were lives of prominent persons, royal personages and the like, with sometimes a number of years as an alternative. In Mayoughil, where the Marquis of Waterford was the landlord, the name of a member of the Torrance family was included as the life in the lease which Hugh Torrance held. A memorial of a registered lease dated 3rd April, 1808, serves as an example of the indenture drawn up: “Alexander Orr, of Landmore, County Derry, Esq., in consideration of ¿£600 assigned to James Torrens, of Moyahill, gent, (grandson of Hugh and Eleanor Torrance) that part of the lands of Moyahill alias Gortan, with dwelling house, garden, etc., with half the lower bleachgreen of Gortan aforesaid, in all 20 acres as formerly enjoyed by James Orr and late in possession of said Alexander Orr, to hold for lives in lease still in being.” The James Torrance the lessee in the deed, who carried on the business of bleaching linen was great grandfather of the present Hugh Torrance, of Mayoughil, and grandfather of Dr. H. R. Torrens, of Drumbo, County Down. He died in 1852, aged 85 years, and is buried in Aghadowey churchyard.
After the Rebellion of 1798 had passed and the Union with England was completed, the country settled down to more peaceful and prosperous times. The interesting letters written at that time to Robert Torrance, the emigrant, of Middlebury, Vermont, indicate clearly that Aghadowey district escaped being embroiled in the troubles of 1798. There was an earlier scare in 1745 when the report went around that an invasion of Ulster was threatened by Prince Charlie
[201]and his Highlanders; and the French under Thurot actually did effect a landing at Carrickfergus, but were soon routed. The Protestants, however, had long memories of the days when the smoking homesteads of their forefathers told the tale of the insecurity of life and property, when they went about their work with a reaping hook in one hand and a sword or gun not far away from the other. The bitterness and hostility of the descendants of the old Irish has shown itself again in these years with a savageness, strange to say, that has never been exceeded, and that, too, in spite of the fact that they enjoy all the privileges, all the civil and religious liberties, the peaceful possession of which has bound their Protestant fellow countrymen in loyalty to the British Empire.
As before indicated, the Torrances of the Bann Valley had become a prolific stock by the end of the eighteenth century, and the Irish genealogist who attempts to follow the ramifications and link up the various families in which the same Christian name occurs with perplexing frequency would fain look for the now forgotten distinguishing appellations, which in those days served the purpose of the present double or triple Christian names. An amusing story is told by a Scottish writer illustrating how the difficulty was overcome by the use of the nickname:
A stranger was seeking the whereabouts of a man named Alexander White in one of the Scotch fishing villages. Meeting a girl he asked:
“Could you tell me fa’r Sandy Fite lives?”
“Filk Sandy Fite?”
“Muckle Sandy Fite.”
“Filk muckle Sandy Fite?”
“Muckle lang Sandy Fite.”
“Filk muckle lang Sandy Fite?”
“Muckle lang gleyed Sandy Fite,” shouted the stranger. [ 202 ]“Oh! it’s ‘Goup-the-lift’ you’re seeking,” cried the girl, “and fat the devil for dinna ye speer for the man by his richt name at ance?”
The broad Scots dialect up till a few years ago was much in use in Aghadowey.
Much could be said about emigration from Aghadowey and the Bann Valley; and in America there must be multitudes who would turn fondly to that land, if the descent could be traced. And their feelings were beautifully expressed by an Australian poet, who though born near Aghadowey, followed the lure of the goldfields some fifty years ago. The longing heart finds expression in the refrain:
O the green land, the old land!
Far dearer than the gold land
With all its landscape glory and unchanging
summer skies.
Let others seek their pleasure In the chase of golden treasure.
Be mine a dream of Erin and the light of
Kathleen’s eyes!

The town of Middlebury was first settled about the year 1761. Its charter was granted by Governor Wentworth of the Province of New Hampshire, under the claim that his territorial jurisdiction then extended as far west as the provinces of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Each township was about six miles square. The original applicants for the township of Middlebury were from Litchfield County, Conn. They employed John Everts, Esq., as an agent for the special purpose of locating lands in that
[203]vicinity. He found there was sufficient and convenient space on Otter Creek in Addison County for three townships, which he accordingly surveyed. The northern town was named New Haven, the southern town was named Salisbury, each after Connecticut towns, and the third was named Middlebury because it lay between the other two. Each town was laid out into lots of 100 acres, and some central convenient lot was subdivided into 100 one-acre lots as a townsite.
Between the years 1764 and 1778, the territory between the west bank of the Connecticut River and New York was in dispute, both New York and New Hampshire claiming jurisdiction over it. The controversy became very acute during a period of years following 1764. Many grants were made by the Governors of the two States, which covered the same lands or lots. Finally in 1774, Ethan Allen, who had come to Middlebury from Woodbury, Conn., to take up land, organized the “Green Mountain Boys” to defend their titles by force of arms—which they did effectually. If anyone claiming title under the State of New York appeared upon the ground, he was ordered to leave the country, and these orders were enforced by the destruction of property and crops and the claimants left homeless and destitute. In authentic instances severe bodily punishment was administered. One Benjamin Hough, an Anabaptist preacher, was tied to a tree and 200 lashes administered on his bare back.
The controversy was finally settled by the creation in 1778 of the territory of Vermont, which included all of the disputed area. Later, and in 1791, Congress of the United States admitted Vermont as a “new and entire member of the United States of America.”
[ 204 ]Ill
ROBERT TORRANCE, son of Hugh and Elenor Torrance, was born in Mayoghle, County Londonderry, Ireland, in 1736. At the age of 19 he emigrated to America, landing at Philadelphia, Pa. Inasmuch as he had a relative living at Chester, Pa., which is situated only a few miles distant from Philadelphia, it is probable that he spent a short time there. Later, and within a year, he moved to Woodbury, Conn., where, as recorded in Cothren’s History of Woodbury, Thomas Torrance and Samuel Torrance then resided.
In one of the letters, printed in the appendix hereto, written from Ireland in 1804, Robert makes enquiry, at the request of his father, concerning his brothers Samuel and Thomas Torrance.
There is no proof that the Samuel and Thomas Torrance, who had served in the War of the Revolution and who had long resided at Woodbury, Conn., were the identical Samuel and Thomas named in the letter above mentioned, but the fact that Robert Torrance, soon after his arrival, selected Woodbury as his future home, is strong evidence of their identity.
Samuel and Thomas Torrance have left a numerous line of descendants, who are unable to trace their ancestry back of those heroes of the early days who lived at Woodbury.
Robert Torrance married Lucy Peck at Woodbury, Conn., 1764. A careful search has failed to disclose the ancestry of Lucy Peck. It is certain that she lived at Woodbury at the time of her marriage to Robert Torrance, and that she had an uncle at Litchfield, with whom she and her family lived while Robert was in military service.
The few Litchfield public records, which were not afterwards destroyed by a fire, disclose the fact that several
[ 205 ]Peck families resided there at that period. It is probable also, that she is descended from Paul and Sarah (Smith) Peck (m. Aug. 17, 1733), since several names, including particularly the names “Lucy,” “Rhoda,” and “Mahala” recur among the descendants of Paul Peck and the descendants of Robert and Lucy (Peck) Torrance.
Following his marriage Robert Torrance became a resident of Salisbury, Conn., where most of his children were born.
August 25, 1755, in the defense of the lives and property of the people, he enlisted for service in the Indian War with the 2nd Connecticut Regiment, Col. Elizur Goodrich of Wethersfield, Capt. Bellows of Salisbury, and was discharged Dec. 7, 1755. He again enlisted on April 9, 1756, in the 4th Connecticut Regiment, Col. Andrew Ward, Jr., of Guilford, Capt. Benjamin Hinman of Woodbury, and was discharged Nov. 20, 1756. A Muster Roll of this latter regiment, signed by Henry Liddell, Muster Master General, at Fort William Henry, dated Oct. 13, 1756, is filed in the Connecticut Historical Collection, “French and Indian Wars.”
In 1774, Robert Torrance moved fromi Salisbury, Conn., and located in the new settlement of Middlebury, Vt. He was among its pioneers. In the previous year he had acquired by purchase from Aaron Owen, and also from John Skinner, two hundred acres of land, under deeds of which the following are literal copies:

Subsequently, Robert Torrance acquired additional properties described in deeds printed in the Appendix hereto, together with a summary of the transfer of real estate by him, and other recorded documents.
The following narrative is taken from the History of Middlebury and Addison Counties by Samuel Swift, published in 1859 by A. H. Copeland.
“Miss Olive Torrance, daughter of Robert Torrance, whom we have mentioned as a settler, is the only witness who had any knowledge of the events before the war, or during the retreat. The following is a part of her story as reported by Mr. Battell:
“Her father, she says, came to this country from Ireland in 1754, when he was eighteen years old. He became a resident of Woodbury, Conn., and married Lucy Peck of that place. He removed to Middlebury with his family, with the first parties in 1774. They descended Otter Creek on a boat or raft, and made their beginning in a log house, which he had built on the spot where the family still live. She was then five years old.
“The retreat from the country occurred three years after, upon the invasion of Burgoyne. She thinks the removal was in August; it might have been in June or early in July. Her mother went out, before they left, among the garden vines, which were numerous and promising, regretting to leave them. The state of apprehension had been pre-
[ 208 ]viously such that one Evarts, belonging to that neighborhood, and then in a company at Ticonderoga, arriving and visiting at their house early in the morning, produced great agitation among them. As a further alarm was to be given, the men, before hoeing was finished, turned out and dug out six basswood canoes near the river, and decided not to go until further notice, when all were to be in readiness. When the final message came their goods were taken to the river, the raft constructed, on which the women and children were placed, and the journey commenced, Otter Creek being again their common highway. The party landed at Pittsford, where there was a military post, and Mrs. Torrance followed the train of women and children towards the settlement. She was carrying a child two years old in a sort of double gown, brought over her shoulders, and in this plight saw a regiment of soldiers drawn up in front of her. She sat down by the way on a log and wept. A neighbor, Mr. Boardman, coming up on a horse carrying an ox yoke behind him, insisted on laying off his yoke and taking her instead, bidding her not to be down-hearted, but expect that things would turn out better than she feared. As they passed the regiment, the Colonel recognized her and called out, ‘My God, there’s Lucy Peck! It makes a man’s eyes run to see you brought to this.’ The soldiers, at his instance, gave up their quarters to the women and children, brought them water for their washing and cooking, and made them as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. Many of them knew Mrs. Torrance as their townswoman, and sympathized with her and felt for the distresses of the people. Miss Torrance’s father joined his family the next day, bringing with him his stock of cattle. From this place the family went to Rutland and from that place communicated with a brother-in-law in Richmond, Mass., who came on with horses for their party. The family was under the [ 209 ]protection of an uncle in Litchfield for a time, and then joined her father, who was then employed, during the war, in one of the furnaces in Salisbury, casting ordnance for the army. He was absent eight years. He was employed seven years in the furnace, the eighth he took a farm. His cow he had sold on his flight at Rutland; his oxen in Connecticut. These were replaced by the produce of a cow bought in Salisbury, which, by letting had multiplied with her issue to twenty-one, having but a single male in the number.
“The first child born in town, as Miss Torrance thinks, was with them on the raft. This was Hannah Bentley, the only infant among fifteen or sixteen children, and of course much noticed amiong them. Mr. Slasson, whose child is said by Dr. Merrill to have been the first born in town, lived in the immediate neighborhood of the Torrance family, after they came to town and she is certain had no child born there.
“The first school house was built of logs, before the retreat of the settlers on Tallow Hill on the road leading from the poor house to Jonathan Seeley’s. Eunice Keep, daughter of Samuel Keep, the first clerk of the proprietors, was brought from Crown Point, where the family then resided, to teach in it. She had commenced her school, but left on the alarm. Miss Torrance had not begun to attend. After their return, a school, the second in town, was kept by Mrs. Torrance in their own neighborhood.
“Some kinds of provisions were left concealed by the inhabitants, on their retreat. Sugar and flour, left by her family, she says, were taken from their storage, under the floor, and consumed. Their pewter and other articles, buried for safe keeping, were also taken up and appropriated. The house itself suffered no injury, except as she thinks, from a party of immigrants, who had it for a shelter some coldnights, and took a board from the chamber floor for kindling wood. Otherwise they found it as they left it.
“The Story and Smalley families remained through the war. Mrs. Story’s own cave, on the bank of the creek in Salisbury, Miss Torrance supposed to have been intended for a storehouse for goods only, rather than for the concealment of individuals. Mrs. Smalley told her of a visit from a scouting party of the enemy, chiefly Indians. An Indian took a milk skimmer she was using and put it in his bosom, on which she complained to the Commander, who compelled him to restore it. A part of the Foot family stayed at John Foot’s to secure the crops. They visited her mother’s garden after the family had gone and found the melons ripened by thousands.”
The following are additional extracts from Swift’s History:
“In the fall of the year 1778, two British vessels came up the lake with troops, designed it was said, to march upon Rutland; but being, in some way, thwarted in their purpose, the troops consisting of British, Tories and Indians, were landed on both sides of the lake, and spread themselves in scouting parties over the whole region, where settlers had located themselves. They destroyed all the buildings and other property they could find, and made prisoners of all of the men who had had the temerity to remain and sent them to Canada. In Middlebury, the whole population by this time had retreated, and none were taken prisoners, but all the buildings in the town were destroyed, except the houses of Joshua Hyde, Bill Thayer and Robert Torrance, in the same neighborhood, in the south part of town, to which probably their excursion did not extend. The frame of a barn of Col. John Chipman, recently built of green timber, which they could neither burn nor chop down, also escaped.
[211]It is still standing on the farm of Jonathan Seeley, with marks of the hatchets on its timbers.”
“In the year 1784, Gamaliel Painter, John Chipman and Robert Torrance returned with their families and resumed possession of the lands from which they had fled at the commencement of the war.
“Robert Torrance renewed his residence on home Lot No. 33 where he had made a beginning before the war. Here he built the brick house which is still standing (since destroyed by fire.—Ed.), which he continued to occupy until his death in 1816, at the age of eighty. His daughters Olive and Molly, and his grandson Orleans Torrance continued the possession. The daughters have both died, Olive in 1850, at the age of 82, and Molly May 13, 1841, aged 76, and the grandson alone remains. The northern of his three lots was set off to his son Stiles Torrance, and had not been cleared until about the year 1828, when Noah Stearns commenced a clearing and settlement on the west half, and Justus Hier on the east half. The whole is now owned by Chester Fenn, or his son James Fenn, both of whom reside on it. Of the return of Mr. Torrance and other reminiscences of his daughter Olive we continue her statement made to Mr. Battell. At the time of their return she was the eldest of the children. They drove from Salisbury seven cows and ten sheep. They came in a sleigh and were six days in making the journey, stopping one at Richmond. At Pittsford they took the creek, and reached home at night.
“Miss Torrance was now old enough to intelligently witness and appreciate the commencement of society in a new world. Other families had returned, and the settlers began to enjoy that Arcadian period in their history, when they have an abundance and all are upon the same level, and constitute one family. Religious services were held on the
[212]Sabbath at Jonathan Chipman’s and Mr. Chipman and Benjamin Smalley made the prayers, and Col. John Chipman read the sermon. Mr. Collins was the first preacher, and after him a Mr. Bliss.
“In the time of harvest, all the neighbors united and assisted each other in the labor of getting it in. They met at the place appointed, and the women came with them. While the men were employed in the field, gathering the crops, the women were engaged in preparing the feast for dinner, and spreading it out on the long board table around which men and women gathered to satisfy their appetites from its abundance, when they all departed without spending the evening. They had no spirits in their harvests, but used beer. And Miss Torrance says, ‘we had a quiet township of people till Jabez Rogers built his still house.’ After a while the gaieties of the new country commenced, and at the balls, which were occasionally held, the young people from the whole region around were collected, especially in Court time.
“Miss Torrance at the time of this communication had in her possession the first table made in town of the description above mentioned. It was made for Miss Melissa Stevens, daughter of Capt. Stevens, then about to be married. When she removed from town, Mr. Torrance bought it and left it to her.
“The mother of Miss Torrance died in 1798, and her father in 1816. At the time of this communication the two daughters and grandson constituted the family and occupied the homestead. The farm consisted originally of three hundred acres; but part having been set off to the sons, only 140 acres remained. The land, Miss Torrance says, is good, but an orchard never succeeded on it. She, and her sister Rhoda, spun thirty-nine runs of yarn at eight pence a run, and bought thirty-nine apple trees at the same price, but only one of them lived. Her father said the land would
[213]never bear an orchard, on this intervale. They had, she said, enough and wanted no more to take care of.”
“Mr. Torrance was a worthy and honest man, was out in various capacities in the French war, and it is supposed with the Green Mountain Boys under Ethan Allen. They were probably acquainted before they came to this country, for they were special friends in after life, and had exchanged guns and powder flasks. ‘The former,’ Mr. Battell says, ‘I saw, which the good ladies preserve with religious care— a long duck piece, hanging up loaded in a spirit not unworthy of a token of the hero of the Grants.1’ ”
Referring to the foregoing extract from Swift’s History, and the incident of the exchange of guns, the following old newspaper clipping (name and date unknown) in the possession of the compiler hereof, is interesting and confirmatory:
“ETHAN ALLEN’S HUNTING GUN
“Among the interesting relics exhibited at Ticonderoga Monday was a gun owned by Dr. C. L. Allen of Rutland and carried by Post Roberts. It was formerly the hunting gun of Ethan Allen and used by him as long ago as 1760. Its history is said to be as follows: Ethan Allen and Robert Torrance were intimate friends when they were young men and exchanged guns for keepsakes. Robert Torrance gave the gun to his grandson Orleans P. Torrance from whom it was obtained by its present owner.
“Dr. Allen, the present owner, makes the following
statement in reference to it: ‘I was for many years well
acquainted with Olive and Mollie Torrance, daughters of
Robert Torrance. They remember distinctly to have seen
Ethan Allen when visiting his old friend, their father, at his
residence in Middlebury. They often told me this was the

[214]gun which their father often told them he got from Ethan Allen. Orleans P. Torrance, who is still living in the old homestead built by his grandfather Robert Torrance, says that when he was a boy his grandfather gave him this gun, telling him it was formerly owned and used by Ethan Allen. He wished to use the gun and got it altered from flint to cap. Martin Dorrance, a gunsmith, an elder brother of Henry C. Dorrance, harness maker, formerly of Rutland, told me that he distinctly remembered making the alteration of the lock and being informed at that time that the gun once belonged to Ethan Allen.’ ”
This gun came into the possession of Dr. C. L. Allen of Rutland, Vt. (now deceased), who transferred it to Mr. George H. Cheney of Concord, N. H., since deceased.
It is now the property of the Chicago Historical Society of Chicago, Ill.
There has always been a tradition in the Torrance family that Robert Torrance was a “Green Mountain Boy,” but since the names of only some of the men who composed the company are definitely known, and the name of Robert Torrance is not among them, absolute proof thereof is lacking. There is abundant evidence, however, that he was a life-long friend of Ethan Allen, and that during eight years of the Revolutionary War period he was engaged in casting cannon in an ordnance factory in Litchfield, Conn., owned, in whole or in part by Ethan Allen, and the “voices of those old cast-iron smooth-boxes were raised from fortifications all along the coast from Providence to Yorktown, from the decks of the infant navy and from inland battle fields.” The Public Records of Connecticut for May, 1777, contain the following reference to the ordnance factory at Salisbury:
“Upon the representation of Messrs. Benjamine Henshaw and William Whiting, managers of the Cannon foundry at Salisbury, shewing that the workmen employed in carying on the business of said foundry are liable to be draughted, that the workmen discover
[215]great uneasiness at their being liable to draught and fines, think it reasonable they should be exempted therefrom so long as they are engaged in the business aforesaid, conceiving that their respective services will conduce more to forward the warlike operations of this State in that capacity than in any other and suggesting it as their opinion that it is requisite a sufficient number of men to do the necessary business of said foundry be exempted from such draughts and fines as aforesaid and upon the report of the committee on said recommendation.
“RESOLVED by this Assembly, that a number of the principal men necessarily employed in the said business, not exceeding fifty in the whole, for the time they are so employed be exempted and discharged from all past or future drafts and fines for filling up the army for active service in the Militia during the time they continue to serve at said foundry and that it be left to the discretion of the managers who shall be exempted, which they are hereby directed immediately to do and give information thereof to the commanding officers of the companies to which they respectively belong if within this state.”

CURTISS -VOSBURGH FAMILY
(166)
ABRAHAM PIETERSEN VOSBURGH was probably the emigrant ancestor of most of the thousands of this family now residing in this country. His birth place and birth date are unknown. The first record of him is in 1649 as one of the settlers in the Colony of Rensselaerwyck, N.
[ 275 ]Y. Subsequently his name frequently appears in the Colony records. He was a carpenter and bridge builder by trade, and owned and operated a water power muley saw mill, which became the subject of litigation between himself and his associates, an account of which also appears upon the Colony records.
In September of the year 1659, he, with several other carpenters was engaged to go down the river to Esopus to make some alterations and changes in Colony and private buildings. Trouble with the Indians arose while they were in the locality and the whole party, including Abraham Pietersen Vosburgh, was captured and killed. He was about forty years of age. He had married Geertruy Pieterse Coeymans, a sister of Parent Pieterse Coeymans, a miller, of Norman’s Kil. By the death of her husband in 1659, the widow was left with a family of five or six children. The Colony and other records clearly show that she was equal to the task of rearing and providing for them, which must have been at best exceedingly difficult under the conditions which obtained in those early colonial days. She was aggressive, if not belligerent, and had frequent recourse to the Courts to maintain her rights.
(For a more extended account of the lives of the early colonial generations of the Vosburgh family, see The New Netherland Register of New York City, Vol. 1, No. 8.)
In 1669 she married Albert Andriessen Bratt, a widower, who lived at Norman’s Kil, but following many appearances in Court in litigation involving property rights, alimony and other disputes, she was granted a legal divorce. She later lived and died at Kinderhook, N. Y. They had children:
i. Pieter, b. about 1652; m. Janettje Barentse, dau. of Barent and Eytje Meyndersen. He was prominent in civil and religious affairs of
[ 276 ]Kinderhook, N. Y., and d. subsequent to 1720, leaving several children and grandchildren.
ii.	Jacob, b. 1654; in. Dorothea Janse, dau. of Jan

Numerous land transactions and land transfers to and from Isaac Vosburgh are recorded in the Sheffield, Mass., District and in the Simsbury and Windsor Districts of Connecticut, covering the period from 1736 to the time of his death in 1771. (See Appendix.) In 1764 he was appointed administrator of the estate of his son Eliakim, who was probably unmarried. It is interesting to note that during this generation the name Vosburgh was by different members and branches of the family variously spelled, including “Fosbury,” “Fossberry,” “Fusbury,” “Vos-bury,” “Vosbrough,” “Vorsbury” and “Forsbury.”

Among these transfers is one dated Mar. 16, 1764, recorded Pittsfield, Berkshire County Deeds, Book 4, Page 293, from Stephen Kellog to Isaac “Fosbury” the third, conveying fifty acres of land for a consideration of ¿£25. This proves these three generations of “Isaac” up to this time and definitely connects the Massachusetts line with Isaac Vosburgh4 of Albany and Kinderhook. He was listed in the first census as
[279]Isaac “Vosbury,” a head of a family and a resident of Sheffield, Mass. They had children:

[291]APPENDIX
Lucinda Wakelee (54), dau. of Joseph and Susan (Curtiss) Wakelee, devoted several years of her life to a philanthropic organization, the object of which was to improve the condition of the working classes in New York City. Following are copies of an Address of the Shirt Sewers’ Cooperative Union and a Circular of the Shirt Sewers’ Association of the City of New York.
ADDRESS of the
SHIRT SEWERS’ CO-OPERATIVE UNION
The public are aware that a portion of the Shirt Sewers of New York made an effort early last Summer to better their condition, and raise themselves from the low and abject condition of toiling from fifteen to eighteen hours per day for a bare pittance to sustain life, by associating together for the purpose of dividing the larger share of profits, now accruing to the employer, among the employed, thereby bringing the producer and consumer together for purposes of mutual aid and profit. We entered into the cause earnestly and devotedly, with the firm hope that we could demonstrate to our toiling and struggling sisters the manifold advantages of our new system, and thereby bring out a thorough and salutary reform in this depressed branch of industry. In our experience of the feasibility and practicability of so associating together, we are not disappointed. We are assured, and can assure our friends, that it is practicable and will succeed. But to ensure this, we need friends and means. We commenced in poverty, and have struggled along, toiling arduously, ever hopeful that a generous public would patronize and aid in building up our Association. In this hope we have been grievously disappointed. We have had kind friends to help us, and to such we are grateful, but they have been few, and we begin now to despond. Our work is falling off, and we are unable, from our very limited means, to give
[ 293 ]employment to but very few of our suffering and needy sisters, when there are thousands ready and anxious to unite with us, if our facilities would allow us to give them employment. Society is not extending to us the helping hand that we were fain led to expect. We are too poor to make our case known to you by paid advertisements, and we now make this last appeal to you, believing that it will not pass unheeded. Upon our failure or success depends the future comfort or misery of thousands in our city, who are even now “sewing at once, with a double stitch, a shroud as well as a shirt.”
The condition of the shirt sewers of our city is lamentable, and calls for your kindest and warmest sympathies. It is estimated that their numbers at present exceed six thousand. Many of these are young and friendless orphans early left to struggle with poverty, and solely dependent upon the precarious pittance of wages doled out by employers. Others are widows, depending upon the needle for the support of helpless children and with the pittance of some $2 or $2.50 per week, trying to feed, clothe and pay the rent of a family. We need not tell you this cannot be done. They bear, in silence, sufferings and trials that would chill the sternest hearts to recount. The defenceless girl often wrestles with poverty, hunger, temptation, until dire necessity forces sad and fearful alternatives upon her. Is this Christian ? Is it human ?
“Oh, men, with sisters dear;
Oh, men, with mothers and wives;
It is not linen you’re wearing out,
It’s human creatures’ lives.”
But we will not murmur; we are ready to make any personal sacrifices to sustain and build up our Association. To this end we appeal to a generous public.
We need your assistance now. We need a store in which to dispose of our stock when made, and the patronage of those who have employment to give. We need to be placed on a permanent basis, where daily necessities and wants will not circumscribe our usefulness and dampen our energies. Kind friends! will you aid and assist us? The present
[ 294 ]office of our Association is at 9 Henry street, where orders will be thankfully received, and our wants made known to such as will interest themselves in the cause of our suffering sisters. Who will hear? Who will regard our humble and earnest appeal?

CIRCULAR of the
SHIRT SEWERS’ ASSOCIATION of the City of New York
To the Friends of Labor:
The Shirt Sewers of this City, encouraged by the interest manifested by the action of the Industrial Congress in their behalf, would now lay their case before the Community generally, and ask co-operation and patronage, from the better remunerated portion of the laboring population. The scale of prices given by the monopolists of the Shirt Trade in New York is so graduated as to render it nearly (and for many styles of work utterly) impossible for a woman to earn her daily bread thereby; and for the few custom shops that professedly pay fair prices, the work must be done in so superior a manner that the remuneration is still in most cases inadequate. The number of Shirt Sewers but partially employed and poorly remunerated, if stated in round numbers would not be believed. Suffice it to say, that the number to be benefitted by this Association, if once thoroughly established, will be commensurate with the philanthropy of the noblest minds.
We therefore deem it necessary, and propose making arrangements to commence Business ourselves, in a way that will enable us to divide the profits among the employed. To embark in an enterprise where so many difficulties confront us, at first sight, may to some minds be deemed chimerical; but so confident are we, that the organized associations of mechanics and others can direct a large amount of orders immediately to our Shirt Depot, and thus
[295]provide employment, at fair prices, for those now enlisted with us, and they having manifested already a willingness to take some stock in the concern, payable at some future time in Work, that we feel assured of that degree of sympathy and support, so requisite in establishing another link in the great chain of labor reform.
All that is now necessary is, that a small amount of capital should be raised to enable the Board of Managers to purchase the materials, and pay for the making of the first orders; and for this we confidently appeal to those whose sympathies have been so often enlisted on behalf of suffering humanity, and who are ever ready to defend the weak against oppression.
The Scrip is issued at ONE DOLLAR per share, and is to be had at all times of Hy. J. Crate, Secretary, at the Office of the Co-operative Labor League, No. 9 Henry Street, New York, and of Mrs. E. Loveland, at the Society’s Store, Hall of Progress, corner of Catharine and Henry Streets, (entrance No. 9 Henry), who will also thankfully receive and promptly attend to all orders for Shirts with which she may be favored.

The house which Robert Torrance built upon his return to Vermont following the revolutionary hostilities in 1778, was made of brick imported (probably as ballast) from Holland. It was occupied by his descendants until the year 1874, when the compiler of this book made a special trip
Foot Note: There are four quite distinct lines of Torrances in the United States other than the descendants of Hugh and Elenor Torrance of Mayhogle. These include the descendants of Sergeant Hugh Torrance, who participated in the Siege of Derry in Ireland, who later settled in Chester, Penn., and of which line General Ell Torrance, of Minneapolis, Minn., former President of the National G. A. R., is a living representative; the descendants of Aaron Torrance, the emigrant ancestor of whom it is reported lived in the North of Ireland, and who settled originally in the Cumberland Valley in Pennsylvania, and of which line the poet and dramatist Ridgely Torrance, of New York City, is a descendant; also the Rev. George P. Torrance, the genealogist; the descendants of John Torrance of which the Rev. William Clayton Torrance, formerly curator of the Valentine Museum in Richmond, Va., is a descendant; and the lines of Torrances descended from Samuel and Thomas Torrance of Woodbury, who are unable to trace their descendants back of Samuel and Thomas.

The then owners were Orleans Peck and Lucy (Mather) Torrance (see 118—ii), who, owing to their advanced years, needed relief from the cares incidental to the property, and who thereafter lived and were cared for by his grandnephew and her youngest brother, Cy-renius Chapin Torrance (127) at Gowanda, N. Y.
Robert Torrance was a strong, vigorous, active man of splendid physical as well as mental development.
In 1803 Robert Torrance, then a widower, and, perhaps, pricked by his conscience for not having, for some unknown reason, maintained a correspondence with his parents, was impelled to write the following letter, a copy of which in his own handwriting he retained and which is now in excellent condition.

piler caused an exhaustive search to be made of all the census, school, court, military and church records of the Counties of Londonderry and Antrim in Ireland by J. W. Kernohan, a reliable professional, genealogical searcher, residing Seaforde, Park Row, Belfast, Ireland, in an effort to connect the different lines of Scotch-Irish Torrances by ties of consanguinity, but, although a very considerable amount of data was obtained (copies of which will be furnished free to any Torrance desiring to trace their Irish ancestors) the results were practically negative. The social and political conditions of the Ulster counties through the major part of the eighteenth century occasioned a woeful paucity of vital statistics. In at least one particular there is a remarkably visible bit of evidence of ties of consanguinity between, generally speaking, all of the Torrances in the United States. They are a race of people above the average weight and stature, having broad shoulders, broad, square faces, large ears and clear coloring, and in several instances representatives of the different lines have a very remarkable general physical resemblance.

But threw the Medium of our Public News Papers hear of the wars Both Internal and External must Conclude that it is unhappy for all grades of People whatever I have thought it no Less than my Duty as a Christian to writ to Learn if Posiable what the Situation of my friends ware and invite them to a hospitable Shore A Cuntery of Peace and Plenty or Learn at Least their Circumstances and Request them to write me a leter on the Receit of this, and Direct it to Robert Torrance Middlebury, Addison County Vermont North America—But Should there be no Traces of my Family Left then I Solicit the Friendly hand of some honnist harted farther to Let me know what was the fate of my Friends or what Cuntery that they have fled to and as in Duty Bound with gratitude Shall ever acknowledge their kindness—But Should my Brother (Thomas Torrance) or either of my Sisters (whose Maden Names were Jane, Marther, and Molly Torrance) yet remain, I wish them to Leave a Cuntery whose Civil wars and entestine Broils has Destroyed the Peace of its inhabitents and Leaves the unfortunate to Suffer with want, and Fly to a Land of health and happiness that abounds with all the Luxurys that life Requires or thinkin man Can wish for—

The foregoing letter now in my possession is somewhat torn and the paper has been yellowed with age. The penmanship is bold, regular and clear. It shows character and dignity.
The letter came into the possession of my father’s family through Orleans and Lucy P. Torrance, formerly of Middlebury, Vermont, but who removed to Gowanda in 1874. The undersigned went to Vermont in the summer of that year and sold the farm with its brick dwelling house which was built by Robert Torrance, uncle of the writer of the above letter, over a hundred years before, and brought Orleans and Lucy, then in advanced years, to Gowanda, New York, where they were cared for until their death, by my parents, Cyrenius and Mary Torrance.

VOSBURGH LAND TRANSFERS
Isaac Vosburgh2 first appears in land transactions in the town of Sheffield, Mass., about the year 1736, and about the time of his marriage. He probably occupied and cleared some land there, before the organization of the Town of Sheffield. If such was the case, his rights were protected at the organization of the town, by granting him the land he occupied as his allotment. The deeds relating to these transactions, recorded prior to 1761, are at Springfield, Mass.
He probably settled in the Simsbury and Windsor district of Connecticut at about the time of his second marriage. In 1758 he sold some of his land in Sheffield, being then a resident of Simsbury. Earlier sales of Sheffield land, if any
[ 305 ]were made, were recorded at Springfield. In 1764, Isaac Vosburgh2, then of South Windsor, acted as Administrator for the estate of his son Eliakim, who was probably unmarried. The fact that Letters of Administration were granted, is pretty strong proof that Eliakim also owned land.
The children of Isaac Vosburgh2 by his first wife inherited his lands in Sheffield, that he did not sell outside of the family. His eldest son, Isaac3, may have secured some of the Sheffield land about the time that he reached his majority in 1758; if so the deed was immediately recorded in Springfield. The fact that the Sheffield records do not show records of the birth of the children of Isaac3, prior to 1763, would indicate that he must have been with his father in Connecticut, before that time. The baptism of his first children and his marriage to Mary	will
probably be found in Connecticut.
“Lucy, child of Isaac Fosbury, of Scotland, bap. July 29, 1757.” This may be the first child of Isaac2; if so he was probably slightly under 21 years of age at the time, unless he was born in 1736 and was a twin of his sister Hannah. In case it can be established that Lucy was the first child of Isaac2, she was probably named for the mother of Mary	. If Lucy was his first child, I should
be inclined to move the date of the birth of Isaac4 back one year and make it 1759; in which case there is room for still another child to have been born about 1761. If a girl, this child would have probably been named Hannah or Ann, after the mother of Isaac3. The age of Ann, wife of William Gray, her marriage record, and the name of her first daughter, all have an important bearing on whether she is correctly placed or not.
The children of Isaac Vosburgh2 by his second wife, probably all remained in Connecticut with their mother, and the name seems to have been definitely changed to Fos-
[ 306 ]bury. John Fosbury was a resident of Simsbury, according to the Census of 1790. The widow, “Anna Fusbury,” appears as a resident of Windsortown, in the Census, her family consisting of herself and two females. Isaac Vosburgh2 died at or near Sheffield, about Dec. 2, 1771, and was probably buried there with his first wife.

Note that he is mentioned as “Junior,” which title he drops in the next deed following, as it was after the death of his father.

PAPERS PERTAINING TO SETTLEMENT OF ESTATES
Estate of Eliakim Fosbury, of Windsor. From Hartford Probate Records, Vol. 19, page 95; “At a court of probate holden at Hartford, for the District of Hartford, on the 23rd day of Jan. A.

Eliakim Vosburgh was probably named after the father of Johanna Winschil. This gives a clue as to her ancestry. The Winschils were among the first settlers in Sheffield.
