DESIRE to know something about our ancestry is natural to mankind, and has the sanction of divine authority. Several chapters of the Bible, both of the Old and New Testaments, are occupied with gene- alogies, in which many names are given, not because the persons were distinguished above their fellows, but merely to trace out unbroken lines of descent. Matthew gives the genealogy of Christ, on the side of his reputed father, from Abraham down ; and Luke, on the side of his mother up through David and Abraham to Adam. The tracing of such a long line of descent was only possible among a people who held it a religious duty to preserve from generation to genera- tion their family records. The practice of preserving at least the names of ancestors is common to widely separated races. We are told that in China there are descendants of the celebrated philosopher Confu- cius, who can exhibit an authentic genealogy, through more than sixty-five descents, up to that celebrated man. The Arabs, it is said, rival the ancient Hebrews in their attention to genealogy. But usually it is only where wealth and rank depend on descent 2012322 4 PREFACE. that the record, if kept at all, is kept with adequate care beyond a few generations. While every man admits that the preservation of his own Family Eecord is a duty that he owes to his children, too many neglect to transcribe the records of their fathers and grandfathers, so that when the originals of those records become lost in the lapse of time, the only evidence of descent that remains is most likely that found in old wills and deeds ; evidence, valu • able in many cases, but apt to be imperfect, as men are liable either to die without wills, or else to omit the naming of all their children in their wills. The laws of the early settlers of New England prescribed that births, deaths and marriages should be entered on the town records, and these records are now precious to the genealogist. Unfortu- nately no such registry was prescribed in New Jersey till within a recent period ; and it is even now but very imperfectly carried out. If our ancestors, when they first came to Newark, volunta- rily kept town or church records of births, deaths and marriages, those records have long since been lost. In England there have long been kept Parish Registers of mar- riages, births, and, I believe, also of deaths. In many cases, prob- ably, these registers date back two or three centuries ; though many of them must have been destroyed in the civil wars, or have per- ished from the mere lapse of time. It may be that in some of these registers, if we knew where to look for them, we might find some account of our origin, before our ancestors came over the Atlantic. But as there are ten thousand parishes in England, and but few of us know exactly from what parish our ancestor came, the project of crossing an ocean to make such a search is not, upon the whole, a very feasible or promising one. PREFACE. 5 Most of us, therefore, must be content with such conjectures as we can make from the name transmitted to us, aided by the very uncertain light of tradition. Thus it happens that most of our American genealogies necessarily begin with one of the early set- tlers of New England. And surely we need not seek a more honorable beginning. Nay, from the want already mentioned of early public records of births, marriages and deaths in New Jer- sey, and the loss of too many family records, the descendants of many of our old Newark families are unable to trace back their ancestry with any degree of certainty, even to the first settle- ment of Newark. It is due chiefly to the early labors of the late Rev. Stephen Dodd, (as we shall duly acknowledge in the proper place,) that the descendants of Daniel Dod are more favored in this respect. The little work of Rev. Stephen Dodd was published in 1839. It was hoped that he would be able to revise and enlarge it before his death, but that hope was frustrated by the failure of his eye-sight, and his other infirmities. Within a few years a zeal for genealogical research, in which Mr. Dodd was one of the pioneers, has become rife in New Eng- land ; and among the descendants of New Englanders, the number of published genealogies may now be reckoned by hundreds. The emulation reached New Jersey, and several of our old Newark families have been awakened to the importance of collecting, be- fore it was too late, their scattered records and traditions. However inviting the subject, as concerning a man's own imme- diate ancestors, the task of compiling a full genealogy of so large a family as the one here attempted, was sufficiently formidable and forbidding to intimidate most men from undertaking it. One man was, however, found — Dr. Bethuel L. Dodd, of Newark — who had 6 PREFACE. all the energy and patience whicli an enthusiastic love for the work could inspire ; but with a very large medical practice on his hands, his leisure would have been insufficient to enable him unaided to digest and arrange the multitude of scattered items of information, which his unwearied diligence during four years had collected ; and so the chief part of this necessary work was assigned to one, who was known as having some skill and experience in genealogical research, acquired during diligent labors extending at intervals through several years, in collecting materials for an account of the descendants of his own maternal ancestor, Edward Ball, and others of the first settlers of Newark. Many others have also lent their aid in collecting the materials for the work. Next to Dr. Bethuel L. Dodd, the reader who here finds his genealogy, is most indebted to the zeal and liberality of Daniel Dodd, Esq., of Newark. Dr. Isaac D. Dodd and Amzi Dodd, Esq., of Bloomfield, ought also to be mentioned, as having rendered valuable aid. Our obligations to others are recorded in the proper places. The possession of a genealogical record, such as but few families can show, is adapted to subserve other purposes than those of mere family pride. In reply to the question of utility, it is enough to point out the obvious advantage, in case some childless man of the name should leave a fortune seeking heirs. Here is an advan- tage, not more to the few who may be able to trace their title by the information given in this work, than to the far greater number, who, without such a guide, might suffer loss of time and money, and bitter disappointment in the end, which the certain knowledge of their descent found in this volume would save them at once. But there is a higher and more certain utility than this ; the PREFACE. 7 utility of knowing, that many men of the same descent with our- selves, have risen by honorable and upright conduct before God and man, and by diligence in their respective callings, to positions of high respectability and usefulness. That pride of ancestry is surely both useful and laudable, which shall prompt us to emulate the many virtues of our Puritan ancestry, — their fortitude, industry, benevolence, temperance, honesty, and piety. While there are degenerate and unworthy members of all families, we would fain hope that so far as this volume has any influence, its effect will be, to make the numerous family whose lineage it records, still more worthy of" their descent and their connections. It formed no part of our original design to include any descend- ants in the female line ; since to include them all would swell the work to an inconvenient and expensive bulk. But in the course of preparing the work, the temptation often presented itself to insert notes giving the names of descendants in the female line, especially of the first generation. And these notes are suffered to stand, from an opinion that to erase them would materially dimin- ish the usefulness and attractiveness of the book. And when such information was readily accessible, we have given brief notes of the descent and connection of a few other families that intermarried with the Dodds, — as the Condits, the "Williams, the Baldwins, &c. If these notes add to the interest and value of the book, they require no apology. There are other families who have equal claims on our attention, but as it was manifestly impracticable to notice all, we adopted the simple rule of giving such information as came first to hand. Those who may find their families very briefly noticed, or not at all, in this book, may, it is hoped, be induced to prepare and publish full genealo- gies of their own. 8 PREFACE. As the valae of a work like the present depends so largely on the correctness of its names and dates, great care and solicitude have been exercised to secure the highest practicable degree of accuracy in those respects. If any errors shall be discovered, the reader is asked to remember, that of the multitude of Family Eecords of which use has been made, we had the opportunity of copying directly from but few. In most cases, we had to rely on copies made by third persons ; and in some cases, these, perhaps, copied two or three times. These copies, we believe, were gen- erally made with much care ; but some of them very probably con- tained errors, which we had no means of detecting. We earnestly and respectfully beg all readers of this work, who may discover errors in names, dates or facts, or who may have authentic information for supplying omissions, to send the same to Dr. Bethuel L. Dodd, of Newark, that it may hereafter be printed, if of sufficient importance, in a Supplement. J. R. B. INTRODUCTION. THE name of Dod is an ancient one ; and, as is often the case with very old names, it is difficult to form a satisfactory opinion of its etymology. It may be a dialectical variation of Tod^ which signifies, in the North of England, a fox ; also, in some parts of England, a heap, and a certain weight of wool. But the opinion which seems to us most probable is, that the little syllable Dod was used among the ancient Saxons of England as a familiar abbrevia- tion of the christian name Roderick,'^ as Dick is used for Eichard. It were easy in confirmation to push the parallel, and to show that subsequent modifications of the two names would be effected in the same manner— Dod, becoming Dodds and Dodson ; and Dick, Dix (Dicks,) and Dixon (Dickson.) One of the most common modes in which surnames were formed in early times was by adding s or son to christian names, or abbreviations of christian names — e. g. Harry, Harris, Harrison ; Jack, Jackson ; Will, Wills, Wil- son; Williams, Williamson; Eobin, Bobbins, Robinson, etc.f The name, as a surname, appears to have been first used in the We?t of England, on the borders of Wales. Burke's Heraldry informs us, that the Dod family of Edge, in Cheshire, and that of Cloverly or Calverhill, in Shropshire, (both these counties border * Or it may have been an abbreviation of David. t The sylhible, Dod, begins the name of several jslaces in England, as Dod- brook, Doddington, Doddenhara, Dodford, Dodworth, «fcc. 10 INTRODUCTION. » on Wales,) were traceable to the reign of Henrj II., or to the twelfth century. The two families used nearly the same armorial bearings, showing them to have had a common origin. Those of the Dods of Edge in Cheshire, which seems to have been the elder branch, are thus described, in the peculiar language of Heraldry : " Argent, on a fesse gules, between two cotises wavy sable, three crescents or : Crest, a serpent vert, issuing from and piercing a garb or. Motto, In copia cautus.^^* We may suppose that the three golden crescents which were the principal device on the shield, commemorated some exploit against the Crescent in the time of the Crusades ;f while the crest, a green serpent issuing from and re-entering a golden sheaf, is a symbolical expression of the motto, " Wary in plenty ;" — indicating, we sup- pose, a sense of the dangers attendant upon prosperity, and of the consequent need there is of watchfulness against its corrupting and poisonous influence. The name of Dodd is quite common in the British Isles, The Biographical Dictionaries mention several distinguished persons of the name ; the eldest of whom was the eminent Puritan scholar and divine. Rev. John Dod. This learned and pious clergyman was born at Shotledge, in Cheshire, (another account calls the * An explanation of the heraldric terms here used is given for the benefit of the uninitiated. Bj fesse (L. fascia, a belt) is meant a band occupying one-third of the shield across the middle ; cotise (Fr. cote, side) signifies the narrow band equal to one-fourth of the fesse, situated on either side of it; argent (silver, white), gules (red), saUe (black), or (gold, yellow), vert (green), rep- resent the different tinctures ; in other words, the metals and colors of the shield. "Wlien the shield is engeaved (not j^ainted) these are distinguished by perpendicular lines for red, perpendicular and horizontal for black, dots for yellow, and oblique lines drawn from left to right for green. t The crescent is frequently used to distinguish the coat of armor of a second brother, or junior family, from that of the principal branch. INTRODUCTION, 11 place Shotwich,) about the year 1549, and lived to the great age of ninety-six years, dying at Fausley, in Northamptonshire, in 1645. As it is not unlikely that the Dodd family of America are his de- scendants, we shall give a more particular account of him in an Appendix. We are told that he was the youngest of seventeen children ; and that, while he lived at his first parish, Hanwell, in Oxfordshire, he had twelve children by his first wife, the daughter of Dr. Nicholas Bound. These twelve children were all born be- fore the year 1600 ; but their names are not given, except one — Mr. Timothy Dod, also a Puritan clergyman, ejected from his living for non-conformity, in 1672. The sixteen brothers and sisters of Eev. John Dod, and his twelve children, (to say nothing of more remote relatives,) are suf- ficient to account for a very numerous race of Dodds in the British Isles and in America. We note in a Dublin Directory for the year 1828, six of the name of Dodd among about 6,000 names, (including only the upper and middle classes, the gentry, mer- chants, traders and professional men.) In a list of subscribers to the funds of the London Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, also embracing about 6,000 names, were three of the name of Dodd ; namely, Charles Dodd, Esq., Camberwell; Eobert Dodd, Esq., late of Hoxton ; and Mr. William Dodd, Fleet street. Taking the mean of these two proportions, it would seem that about one man in fifteen hundred in the British Isles, bears the name of Dodd. (The old spelling Dod seems to have been more generally disused there than on this side of the Atlantic.) In this country, if we may form an estimate from the Directories of our large cities, the name of Dodd occurs hardly so often, ex- cept in those places where the descendants of early settlers of the 12 INTRODUCTION. name have multiplied. In a New York Directory for 1841, (before the Irish and German names became as numerous in proportion as they now are,) out of about 40,000 names there were 15 of the name of Dodd. The Dodds have increased in number since, but not in proportion to the population. In Philadelphia, in 1837, there were only two out of 30,000 ; but in 1859 there were six out of perhaps twice as many. Out of nearly 10,000 subscribers to the American Art Union in 1847, was only one Dodd, (T, S. Dodd, of Bangor, Maine) ; but out of nearly ten thousand subscribers to the funds of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, up to 1852, were six of the name of Dodd, all but one, (Benj. Dodd, of Boston,) of the New Jersey family. Out of about 25,000 post-masters in 1855, there were six of the name of Dodd, none of whom seem to be of the New Jersey family.* If we assume, as an average of these proportions, say in round numbers, one family in five thousand in the United States of the name of Dodd, there ought to be over one thousand families of that name. Of the descendants of Daniel Dod, as we shall presently show, we only know of about 250 adults. The unfortunate Eev. William Dodd, LL. D. an eminent scholar and literary man in his day, executed in 1777, at the age of 48, for forging the name of his pupil.

We find no subsequent mention of James. PossMy he found his way to Virginia. The early records of Boston give the births of several children of George Dod and Mary his wife, beginning with TNTRODUCTION. 1^ Mr. Samuel Dodcl, merchant of Hartford, and his cousin James Dodd, have obhgingly furnished us a statement of their descent from Edward Dodd. They state, that Edward came to Hartford in 1683, in his 19th year, with hi? sister, who afterwards married a Mr. Eichards of Hartford. This date, however, must be erroneous, as Samuel Dodd afterwards states that Edward died 1729, aged 46 years, which would make his birth 1683. Edward was the son of a John Dodd of Northamptonshire, England. He married Lydia Flowers of Hartford, Aug. 2, 1705. (We take this date from the old records of Hartford, as printed in the New England Genealog- ical and Historical Eegister.) They had ten children, four of whom were sons, viz., John, born 1707 ; Edward ; Benjamin, (who did not marry ;) and Timothy. The second Edward married Ee- a son Isaac, born 3d 7tli month, 1651, after whom were several daughters. We siipi^ose many of the Dodds of New England, and of course those of New England descent in other parts of the Union, are descended from George and Mary. There was a George Dod, baker, in New York, who, in 1703, made a will in favor of William Chambers, " his only friend." In a list of prisoners in Canada, in 1756, occur the names of Joseph and Thomas Dodd, fishermen of Mar)>lehead. A Thomas Dodd of Falmouth, now Portland, Maine, married Al)igail Blackstone, 1755. Another Thomas Dodd was married not far from the same year in the old Dutch. Church in New York. The Rev. Samuel Dodd, of the Mission of the Presbyterian Board in China, was ordained by the Presbytery of Ningpo, Nov. 3, 1861. Probably he was from New England. There are also Dodds in the Southern States, tracing their descent to early residents of Virginia. Whether these last came from New England, or di- rectly from England, it seems impossil)le now to ascertain. Finding in the list of Postmasters, Henry Dodd of Boiling Springs, Spartanburg D., South Carolina, and Benjamin T. Dodd of Eaton, Gibson Co., Tenn., we sent circu- lars to each, (the year before communication with those States was cut oft",) and elicited the following informatitm : Allen Dodd, wheelwright, of Fauquier Co., Virginia, (supposed to be of Welch descent,) had two sons, John and Nathaniel, with whom he removed to Eockingham Co., N. C, where he died 16 INTRODUCTION. becca Barnard, March 14, 1744, and had eight children, of whom were four sons — John, born 1745 ; Elisha, 1747 ; Edward, 1749 ; and Ashbel, 1758. John, of Edward 2d, had John and Henry ; and by a second wife, James, born June 10, 1786, now living. He has four sons, one John Dodd, at Quincy, 111,, the others at Hartford. Elisha, of Edward 2d, had Elisha, Josiah, Edward, Charles and Samuel, (our informant, the only survivor, born 1796.) Edward, of Elisha, was a sea captain, the other four merchants. Samuel Dodd has three sons : William Henry Dodd of Hartford, about the end of the last century. Nathaniel remained in Rockingham, while John removed to Spartanburg D., S. C, and afterwards to Tennessee, and died in 1841, aged 74. He had sons, Allen Dodd of Gibson Co., Tenn., (father of Benj. T.) Nathaniel Dodd of Providence, Boone Co., Mo., Henry Dodd of Spartanburg District, South Carolina, John Jefferson Dodd of Gordon Co., Georgia, and William Dodd, who died aliout 1857, in Spartanburg District, leaving a son John. The Allen Dodd of Virginia, who was father of tliis family, must have been born about 1740. Other families of the name have been found in various parts of the country. For instance, in Rose, Wayne Co., New York, is a Zachariah Dodd, who has sons William, Zachariah and Asa, and several daughters. A Mr. Dodd, said to be a connection of this family, was, in Sept., 1860, struck with a fatal paralysis, while in the act of delivering an evening lecture in Victory, in the same county. About a year since, a letter came addressed to George A. Dodd, Esq., of Orange, (deceased before the letter arrived,) from a Mrs. Thomas P. Laverty, of Milwaukee, stating that she had a brother of that name, of whom she had not heard in twenty years ; and seeing the name in " an insurance book" wrote to inquire if he was her In'other. Her maiden name was Maria .Jane Dodd, and her father lived in New Jersey ; but she does not give his Chris- tian name and we wrote for fuller information, which, however, never came. We are thus unable to connect with any known branch of the descendants of Daniel Dod, Mrs. Laverty, her brother George A. Dodd, her two older sisters, one of whom married a Crawford, or her cousin Julia Dodd, who lived in New York, and married a Rolestane. Mrs. Laverty had a daughter in Mil- waukee, Mrs. R. A. Clifford. It seems, then, there were Dodds even in New Jersey, who were not descended from Daniel of Branford. INTRODUCTION. 17 artist; Thomas B. Dockl of Louisville, Ky., merchant; and Samuel Dodd, Jr., of Meriden, Conn., cashier. Of the Ilartford family is also Hon. Edward Dodd, lately mem- ber of Congress, of Argyle, Washington Co., N. Y. lie informs us that his grandfather was Edward Dodd of Hartford ; probably the Edward named above as the third son of the second Edward. This Edward 3d had three sons, (we omit daughters for want of room,) William Dodd, merchant of Hartford, (father of William Dodd of Cincinnati,) Henry Dodd, printer, of Salem, N. Y., and Thomas Dodd, goldsmith, of Hartford, all deceased. Hon. Edward Dodd, son of Henry, the printer, had but one child, Henry Ste- vens Dodd. He had brothers who died unmarried. There appear to be many other descendants of the first Edward Dodd in various parts of the country. It would seem that Benjamin Dodd of Bos- ton, and his brother, Freeman Dodd of Water street, N. Y,, refer their descent to the Hartford family. Of those who spell the name Dodds, we shall only make note of Thomas Dodds of Newark, He was one of the vestrj^men of Trinity Church, and died in the beginning of the year 1812. His widow, Mary, survived him many years, dying in March, 18-15, in her 90th year. In a catalogue of Text Books, published by Sheldon & Co., of New York, we find a Mathematical Series^ by Prof. James B. Dodd, A.M., late Morrison Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philos- oi)hy in- Transylvania University, Lexington, Ky. We have not been able to learn either his descent or even his present residence. These particulars respecting families of the name of Dodd who do not belong to the house of Daniel of Branford, we place on 18 INTRODUCTION. record hoping that they may be useful to persons of the name laboring to make out their own genealogies. Note. — There was a B. Dod among the leading booksellers of London in 1754. We find also James Dod and Mrs. Dodd among the snbscril^ers to a translation of the Hymns of Callimachus, 1755, by William Dodd, B. A., the same who was afterwards executed for forgery.* Thus it appears that the change of spelling from Dod to Dodd was becoming general in England a century ago. In this coimtry very few retain the old spelling Dod, except the descendants of Lebbeus Dod of Mendham ; but in old records before the Revolution, so far as I have observed, the name is uniformly sijelled Dod. It is unnecessary to follow the plan of Eev. Stephen Dodd, in giving an account of the first settlement of Southampton, of Bran- ford, and of Newark. It does not appear that any person of the name of Dodd ever settled at Southampton, and as for Branford and Newark, the narrative in Stearns' History of the First Church of Newark leaves so little to desire that we cannot do better than refer cur readers to that work. We confine ourselves, therefore, to the fortunes of Daniel Dod and his descendants, with some gen- eral observations concerning his associates. It is hardly necessary to say that the early settlers of New Eng- land were, with very few exceptions, pious, sober and conscientious. * Dr. Abraham Coles, of Newark, partner of Dr. B. L. Dodd, has a line copy of this earlj work of the unfortunate William Dodd. The notes display great learning and research. INTRODUCTION. 19 They were professors of religion at a time when making such profession exposed them to loss and exile. By the wind of trial the chaff was winnowed from the wheat, A people fit to conquer the wilderness and the savage tenants of the wilderness — fearing God and their own consciences, not man — was gleaned from the best of that Anglo-Saxon race which for two centuries has taken the foremost part in the world's history, and the peculiar circum- stances of the first settlement of Newark led to a second sifting from among the best even of New England, The name of Daniel Dod first appears at Branford about the year 1646. He was then, doubtless, a young married man, having a wife, Mary, and after a few years several sons and daughters sat round his table. Whence he came to Branford the records give no indication. The most probable conjecture is, that he was one of the twenty thousand emigrants who poured into Massachusetts, chiefly Boston, between the years 1630 and 1640, and from Boston and vicinity were distributed along the coast and rivers of New England, The lot of the pioneer was one of toil, hardship and privation. The forests must be made to bow before his arm ; his rude log cabin, even with the heaped up fires that blazed in its ample chimney, hardly sufficed to keep comfortable one accustomed to the much milder winters of his native land. His fare was generally coarse, often scanty ; for the work of bringing the wilderness under cultiva- tion was slow, and some crops uncertain. Daniel Dod and his wife sunk early under the hardships of pioneer life. The wife died in 1657, leaving six small children, the youngest but three weeks old. The husband followed her in 1665-6, Of the children thus left orphanSj four joined themselves to the company of their kin- 20 INTRODUCTION. dred, friends and neighbors, whicb, with their venerable pastor at their head, was about to seek a new home in the wilderness, on the banks of the Passaic. It seems probable that at the death of Daniel Dod, both of his two oldest children, Mary and Anna, were already married. Mary, we know, was the wife of Aaron Blatchley ; and three of her brothers, including Samuel, the little one, came with her and her husband to Newark, and remained there, though the Blatchley s, after a few years, returned to Connecticut. Anna seems to have married a Fowler of Guilford, and kept with her, her young brother Stephen. Thus the family was early divided. But Daniel, the eldest son of Stephen, when he grew up, removed to Newark ; and as the male line of his brother, Samuel of Guilford, failed, all the existing branches in the male line of the descendants of Daniel Dod came in this way to be of Newark descent. The early Dodds soon left the village of Newark to settle on the fertile lands in what is still called Dodd Town, between Orange and Bloomfield. As they multiplied, and became straitened for want of room, they removed over the mountains to Caldwell and Mend- ham. It was not till after the Eevolution that they began to seek new homes in the remote West. Eev. Thaddeus Dod was one of the first of the family to cross the Alleghanies. Many others have since followed ; and now descendants of Daniel Dod are found from New England to California, and even in tropical Cuba. The following table will show how many descendants of Daniel Dod, in the direct male line, are recorded in this work. There, doubtless, were many others whose names we have not ob- tained, either because they died young, and the records are lost, or because they belong to branches, (as that of Joseph, grandson of INTRODUCTION. 21 Timothy ; or Stephen, grandson of Stephen, jr.,) which have strayed away to parts unknown. In several cases, also, there are probably sons born since our last information was received : TnhJe sliowing the ichole number of Male Desce/ulatits of Nine Generations, heginning with Daniel Dod of Bnmford.

Of these, the first five generations have wholly passed away. Samuel 2d, who died 1773, in his 78th year, is supposed to have been the last survivor of the third generation. His son Aaron, who died 1821, at the age of 83, was probably the last survivor of 22 INTRODUCTION. • the fourth generation. Of the fifth generation, there were several living within a few years. The last survivor, it is believed, was Joseph, son of Stephen and Ruth, who died in Wisconsin in 1860, aged 76. Jairus, son of Deacon Isaac ; Daniel and Allen, sons of Joseph ; Daniel and Amos, sons of Captain Amos ; and David, son of David, all died at an advanced age, between the years 1850 and 1860. Of the 133, whose names we have, belonging to the sixth gener- ation, forty-five are living, (or were when last heard from,) the eldest being Stephen Dodd, of Illinois, son of Parmenas of Mend- ham ; and Thaddeus Dodd, son of Parmenas of Bloomfield — both of whom, if yet living, are nearly eighty ; and the youngest, Daniel Dodd, son of Joseph, of Wisconsin, who is only forty. Of the 253, whose names we have recorded, as belonging to the seventh generation, 208 were living at our last advices. The oldest of this generation is sixty-five ; not more than one or two others have seen three score years, and some are yet in the cradle. The list of this generation, therefore, is not yet complete. Judging from the rate of increase shown by the previous generations, the number of this generation may be expected to reach 275, or even 300, when the blanks in our list are all filled. Of the 191 whose names we have, belonging to the eighth gen- eration, 169 were living when last heard from. The oldest of this generation is but about forty, and only about fifty of the whole number are of the age of 21 and upwards. It will be many years before the list of this generation is closed, and then the number of names will probably be not far from 600. The ninth generation is just beginning to come into being. We know of only one little boy living, (some others having died,) in INTRODUCTION. 23 the line of Deacon Isaac ; and eight living, whose names we have, (the oldest of whom is about eighteen years old,) in the line of Daniel, son of Stephen, of Mendham. There seems to be several others whose names we have not obtained. This generation is probably destined to number a thousand by the beginning of the next century. Summing up the living descendants of Daniel Dod, in the direct male line, so far as now known to us, we have : Sixth generation 45 — of whom are adults 45 Seventh " 208 " *' " " 170 Eighth " 169 " " " " 50 Ninth " 9 " " " " — 431 265 Though some few of these have died since our last advices, yet a much larger number have doubtless been born, and there are many whose names we have not obtained. We think it safe to estimate the living men and boys of the name of Dodd (or Dod) descended from Daniel of Branford, at five hundred in this year, 1863 ; about half of whom are adults ; and probably 200 heads of families. The descendants in the female line, were it possible to reckon them up, would probably be found to amount to more than ten times that number.* * As there are, on an average, in each generation, about as many daughters as sons, the rate of increase of all the descendants, the female line included, will be double the rate of increase of the male line alone. Thus if the male line doubles in a generation, (or 30 years) the male and female line together will qufidruple in a generation ; and an increase, in 3 or 4 generations, of ten fold in the male line will imply an increase of a hundred fold in the whole family, male and female. This calculation is, however, affected by intemiar- riages, and as these have been rather frequent, many descendants aj^pcar both in the male and female lines. 24 INTRODUCTION. Just two centuries ago, (in 1663,) the male members of the family were five, (a father and four sons). The increase, then, has been one hundred fold in two hundred years, equal to ten fold every hundred years. If this rate of increase holds, there will be five thousand males of the name of Dodd descended from Daniel, in the year 1963, and such copies of this work as shall survive the wear and tear of a century, will then be sought for not merely by thousands of the name of Dodd, but also by many thousands besides, who will trace their descent to the Dodds in the female line. Of the descendants of Daniel Dod, the following have been in the Gospel ministry: DECEASED. LIVING. Line of Thomas, Rev. John F. Dodd, Newark Conference. Line of Isa^ic, Rev. Stephen Dodd, Rev.

Dodd of Bloomfield, Dr. Bethuel L. Dodd of Newark, Dr. Thaddeus Dodd and Dr. Elias F. Dodd of Western Pennsylvania, Dr. John B. Dod of Cuba, and Dr. Stephen B. Dodd of Martinsburg, Ohio. The number of lawyers is, we believe, less than of either clergy- men or physicians. Daniel Dodd and Amzi Dodd are of high repute at the Newark bar. The former was several years an alder- man of Newark, and the latter is now (1863) a member of the New Jersey Legislature from Bloomfield. Besides these, we only recol- lect Samuel C. T. Dodd, of Franklin, Pa. INTRODUCTION. 25 Most if not all the above were men of collegiate education ; and three or more are, or were, professors in colleges. It would appear, then, that of the adult members of the Dodd family, about one in fifteen belong to the three learned professions. Certai^ily the family has furnished more than its proportion of men of superior talent and education, and especially of clergymen. But it is a still greater honor to the family that, as a general rule, it has maintained during two centuries the old Puritan characteris- tics of piety and morality ; of energy and thrift ; of honesty and benevolence, which distinguish so honorably the best of the de- scendants of the pilgrim fathers of New England. The family has likewise been honorably distinguished for patriot- ism. All of the name who were of age to bear arms, it is believed, periled their lives for their country in the revolutionary struggle, and several served as officers of the militia, at a time when the whole body of the militia, in this part of the State, was frequently called into active and dangerous service. And in the dreadful civil war in which we are now engaged, several of the descendants of Daniel Dod are risking their lives for their country, some as officers and others in the ranks of our brave volunteers. Let us hope that the immense sacrifices of treasure and blood, of comfort and of family ties, which we are now required to make for our country, are not to be in vain ; aiid that the Dodd family of a century hence, rising with the country they aided to wrest from the savages and the wilderness, and to defend from foreign foes and domestic traitors, will find themselves prosperous, honored and useful citizens of the greatest nation on the earth ; preserving alike on the farm and in the workshop ; in the college, and in the pulpit; at the bar, and in the halls of legislation, the manly and pious characteristics of their New England ancestry. 26 INTRODUCTION. ORDER OF ARRANGEMENT. In order to secure a systematic arrangement of the work, and to facilitate reference, we will divide the genealogical matter into three Parts, corresponding to the three main branches of our Genealogical Tree, viz : those of Daniel 2d, Stephen of Guilford, and Samuel 1st, (the second branch, that of Ebenezer, having been cut off abruptly.) Each Part will also be divided into Sections, according to the number of the great-grandsons of Daniel 1st, These having lived, in most cases, to a time recent enough to be remembered by persons yet living, it is probable that many will know enough of their descent to be able to recognise their ances- tor in one of the names in the last column of the following list, in which the Sons of Daniel 1st are placed in the second column, his Grandsons in the third, and his Great-grandsons in the fourth : Daniel Ist. II. Daniel 3d. fEbenezer. . Stephen . . . Samuel Ist Daniel 3d. Stephen... (the Cuoper) John Daniel. . . . (of Guilford) JSamuel.... (of Ouilfoid) Samuel 3d t Jonathan . IV. Date of Death. Age.

Omitting those marked f who died without children, and those marked % who have descendants, if any, in the female line only, there remain fourteen great-grandsons of Daniel 1st, namely, five sons of Daniel 3d, three sons of Stephen the cooper, two sons of John 1st — mak- ing ten great-grandsons derived through Daniel 2d, the eldest son ; three sons of Guilford Daniel, making three great-grandsons derived through Stephen the second son ; and one son of Samuel 2d, being one great-grandson derived through Samuel 1st, the youngest son of Daniel 1st. Now as the number of Great-grandsons constituting the heads of the living representatives of Daniel of Branford, in the direct male line, are ascertained to be fourteen, we make the number of Sec- tions fourteen. It will be seen in the scheme hereafter given, that Part I. comprehends all the Descendants of Daniel 1st, through the line of Daniel 2c?, the eldest son of Daniel 1st. Daniel 2d had three sons ; so to facilitate reference and prevent confusion, these are made the basis of three Divisions of this Part — Division 1st being made to embrace all the descendants in the line of Daniel 3rf, oldest son of Daniel 2d ; Division 2d, all those in the line of Stephen^ second son of Daniel 2d ; Division 8d, all in the line of John, third son of Daniel 2d. Part II. comprises all the descendants of Stephen of Guilford, third son of Daniel 1st, through the line of Daniel of Quilfoi'd, oldest son of said Stephen. Part III. includes all the descendants of Samuel 1st, youngest son of Daniel 1st, through the line of Samuel 2d, oldest son of Samuel 1st. As neither Stephen of Guilford, nor Samuel 1st had more than one son now represented by descend- ants in the direct male line. Parts II. and III. are without Divisions, 28 INTRODUCTION. none being required. The tabular view, at the end of the Intro- duction, besides showing the plan of the,Fork, may serve likewise as a convenient Index to the main Contents of the volume. The notices of the broken or extinct branches are inserted in their places between, or at the end of the Sections. The following list of some of the representatives of each branch may afford further aid in ascertaining to what Section any member of the family belongs : 1.

The "representatives" are taken very much at random, as the first that occurred, and are named merely to enable others to judge where to look for their own genealogy. EXPLANATORY NOTE. Persons descended one from another successively, form a direct line ; those descended from a common progenitor but not from one another, a collateral line. Members forming the first 7 degrees in a direct ascending line, were call- ed by the Romans, ^ato' (father — 1st degree); ««)ms (grandfather — 2d degree) ; proamis (great-grandfiither — 3d degree) ; ahavus (4th degree) ; atavus (5th de- gree) ; tritavus (6th degree) ; protritamis (7th degree). The corresponding 7 mem])crs in a descending line were called ^Zi«/s (son, 1st degree); nepos (grand- son, 2d degree) ; pronepos (great-grandson, 3d degree) ; ahnepos (4th degree) ; atnepos (5th degree) ; trinepos (Gth degree) ; protrinepos (7th degree). Those above and below the 7th degree were termed respectively majores (ancestors) ; and posteri (posterity). The number of degrees, it will be seen, does not include the person from whom we begin. The same is the case in counting the degrees of a collateral line ; two cousins, for instance, are said to be at the 4th degree from each other, there Ijcing four i)ersons, the cousins and their parents, l^esides the common progenitor or head. The collateral line embraces the agnates, or the kindred on the father's side ; and cognates, or the kindred on the mother's side. CONTENTS. PART FIRST.

Preliminary Chapter — Daniel ist. ANIEL DOD and Mary his wife appear at Branford as early as 1646 or 1647. Among a number of " children of the Branford Church," baptized at New Haven in June, 1651, we find the names of Mercy, Hannah, and Daniel Dod. These were evidently the three eldest children of Daniel Dod. Mercy is called Mary in the Eecord of the Eev. Stephen Dodd. Supposing that he took the name from the Branford Eecords, which, in the name of one of their own people, should be more exact than the New Haven scribe, we shall call her Mary. Hannah is strangely omitted in Eev. Stephen's list of the children of Daniel Dod, though he copies in another place, the will of Stephen Dod of Guilford, in which his sister Anna Fowler is mentioned, doubtless the same Hannah who was baptized at New Haven. As, in the same will, Stephen Dod mentions his cousin Mary Wheeler, it may be conjectured that the wife of the first Daniel Dod was a Wheeler. This, however, is to be taken as a mere conjecture till confirmed by some future dis- covery of documentary evidence. Correcting the list of Eev, 34 DANIEL BOB, OF BRANFORB. Stephen Dodd by the evidence of the New Haven Eecord, we have the following list of the children of Daniel and Mary Dod : 1. Mary (or Mercy), probably bom aljout 1646, married Aaron Blachly* about 1666. They came with the colony to Newark ; but, after a few years, returned to Connecticut. 2. Akna (or Hannah), who married Fowler, probably of Guilford. 3. Daniel, bom in 1649, or early in 1650. The time of his death is unknown. It is a family tradition that he died from a fall from a load of hay ; probably between 1701 and 1714. 4. Ebenezer, bom December 11, 1651. He is sui)posed to have died in New- ark about 1675, and probably left no family ; at least, no son. 5. A daughter, bora March 29, 1653 ; seems to have died imnamed. 6. Stephen, bom Februaiy 16, 1655; died in Guilford, October 1691. 7. Samuel, bom May 2, 1657, left motherless at 24 days old, and died in Newark township, (then extending west to the Passaic,) a])Out 1714. Daniel Dod, the First, died between sowing time, 1665, and the harvest of 1666, as appears (says Rev. S. Dodd in a private letter,) from the appraisal of his personal property, including the wheat on the ground. His wife died May 26, 1657, and they were both buried at Branford. The children, thus left orphans, all removed to Newark, except Anna and Stephen, who lived in Guilford. After the death of Daniel Dod, his sons, being all minors, petitioned the Court that " Ricftird Lawrence and Lawrence Ward might be their guardians and have administration in trust granted to them in their behalf. They were appointed and empowered to crather in the astate to be assessed, and to see that all debts and dues to and from the estate be duly prepared, and to look after the children." * He was the sou of Tliomas Blachly, Esq., and had a brother Moses. Their sister Abigail was the wife of Edward Ball. DANIEL BOD, OF BRANPORD. 35 On the Probate Record of New Haven, 2d B, p. 8, appears " An inventory of all the goods and chattels of Daniel Dod, of Branford, deceased, being appraised upon oath, by Lieut. Swayne, John Wil- ford, and John Ward." The clear estate amounted to ^146 17s. 4d. The colonial currency had not then been depreciated by the issue of paper money, and this may be assumed nearly equal to sterling money. If so, it was about $650 ; a moderate sum to be divided among six children ; but sufficient to give a fair start in life in a country where land could be had at almost nominal prices. From England came tliey o'er the stormy main, Daniel and Mary in their youthful prime, Seeking a home here in the wilderness, Wlicre roamed the Indian — destined soon to die, Leaving behind them children, four of whom Sons under age. — By that dear Hand that leads The blind by unknown ways to a large place Provided for them, these were brought to dwell Beside the River, called in red man's speech, Passaic, wliere stands to-day the city fair Of Newark, famous for its avenues And parks adorned with trees, laid out And planted by forecasting su'es. And for its workshops, numerous and vast, Whose products fill the markets of the world. Out of these fom*, three married in due time, Daniel the eldest, Stephen, Samuel, From whom, during two centuries, have sprung Many descendants ; — not a few choice men. That in times past and now, by honorable sweat Of brow or brain, have won a good repute, And ijublic mention due for service done In cause of God, or country, or mankind.

The mother, Jemima Williams, was of a family remarkable for longevity. (See note.) NOTE . The Williams Family of Orange.— We find from the early records of Weathersfield, Conn., as cited in Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, that Mat- thew Williams had a son Amos, born 1645, and a son Matthew, born 1647, died ; a 2d Matthew, bom 16.51, and Samuel, born 1653. These were doubtless the same Matthew and Amos who afterwards settled at Newark. The headstone of Matthew Williams in the old burying ground at Orange, shows that he died Nov. 13, 17.32, in his 81st year, agreeing with the above record of his birth. The memorial of his wife Ruth is also still to be seen. She died July, 1724, but her age, if given, has not been deciphered. Matthew Williams appears at Newark about thirteen years after its first settle- ment, boing admitted a planter by a vote of the town, 29th Nov., 1680. In 1698, he exchanged with George Day his house and lot in Newark for lands bounded by the mountain. Wigwam brook, lands of Samuel Day, &c. Of Amos Williams, the brother of Matthew, I have found no mention in the old records, except that his name appears among the signers to the agreement for the Indian purchase (1701) elsewhere mentioned. He was probably father of David Williams, who was Lieutenant in a troop of horse about 1743, and whom tradition affirms to have been a cousin to Amos and Thomas, the sons of Matthew. I find also a Samuel WiHiams, who was born in Newark in 1714, and died in Orange 2d April, 1812, at the remarkable age of ninety-eight. He lived on the top of the mountain. His wife, Hannah Harrison, lived almost as long as he did. The newspaper obituary stated that he left twelve children, 45 grand- children, and 41 great-grand children ; and that there had been no death in his family, except his wife and an infant, in seventy years. His relationship to the other branches of the Williams family has not been traced ; but he may have been from Samuel, son of the first Matthew. His wife, Hannah Harrison, was an aunt of Mrs. Sarah Smith, hereinafter mentioned. Tradition says Matthew Williams, who died 1733, had four sons — Amos, Matthew, Gershom and Thomas, and at least two daughters, Jane and Jemima. Amos Williams was born 1690, and died 1754, in his 64th year. He married Mary Nutman, daughter of James and sister of the Rev. John Nutraan. (One of her sisters was Hannah, wife of Jonathan Dod, son of Samuel 1st. Mrs. Williams, after the death of her first husband, married Samuel Condit, Sen'r, in 17.50). The children of Amos Williams, Esq., were : 1. Benjamin Williams, who for many years had a tannery at Tory Corner, about a mUe north of Orange centre. He was bom 1739, and died 1826.

Sarah, second wife of Joseph Dod. 3. Nathaniel Williams. 4. James Williams. 5. Enos Williams. Probably the one who settled at Swinefield, (now Centre- ville,) between Livingston and Caldwell. Matthew Williams 2d was a mason. He died 1772 in his 78th year. He mar- ried Abby Brown,* and had six children, all of whom, it is said, lived to eighty or upwards. Their names, as given in his wiU, were Sarah Munn, (wife of Joseph Munn, and mother of the wife of Matthias Dodd), Jemima Dod, (wife of Isaac Dodd), Lydia Harrison, (wife of Stephen), Joanna Coudict, (wife of David)> Thomas Williams and Isaac Williams. Capt. Thomas Williams died about 1830, aged about 90. He was the Mher of Col. William Williams, and of Matthew, who was the father of Jesse Williams, Esq. Isaac Williams married Eunice Pierson, a daughter (or sister?) of old Dr. Matthias Pierson, (grand- father of the present Dr. Wm. Pierson). They had : Aaron, Matthew, Caleb, Isaac, Abby, Jemima, Polly. Of these, two married Dodds, namely, Aaron, who married Mary, daughter of Joseph Dodd ; and Isaac, who married Betsey, daughter of Abel Dodd, son of John, the carpenter. Gershom Williams married Hannah Lampson, probably a sister to the wife of John Dod 1st, and had Matthew, Eleazer, Jotham, Gershom, Susan, Ruth, and Joanna. Thomas Williams married Martha Dodd, probably one of the daughters of Samuel Dod 1st, and had Timothy, Silas, Jonathan, Jane, Mary and Hannah. Jonathan Williams was the father of Mrs. Sarah Smith, to whom we are indebted for much information. * Thomas Brown, whose will was proved Dec. 18, 1723, names his wife Eliza- beth, sons Abner and Jeremiah, both minors, daughters Deborah and Abigail. This Abigail was probably the one who married Matthew Williams, and gave her father's name to her own eldest son. This Thomas Brown seems to have been son of Thomas Brown, who was brother of Phebe Dod, and third son of John Browne, Sen'r, one of the first settlers of Newark, Sec. II.] QREAT-QRANbSON ISAAC. U 3.

STEPHEN DODD, son of Moses of Isaac, was or-5thDeg. dained to the Gospel ministry Sept, 28, 1803. He supplied two congregations for seven years in the town of Carmel, Dutchess Co., N. Y. From October, 1810, he resided in the town of Waterbury, Conn,, and was the pastor of the Congre- gational church at Salem. Eesigning this office in May, 1817, he supplied the congregation of East Haven, Conn,, and on the 10th of Dec, 1817, he was installed pastor of the Congre- gational church there, in which relation he continued till his death, at the ripe age of nearly four score years. He married Nov. 29, 1799, Phebe Pierson, daughter of EHhu Pierson, of Orange, N. J., but from Southampton, L, I. She was born Aug. 25, 1776, and died Feb. 27, 1815. Mr. Dodd then mar- ried Abigail Ann Law, Feb, 1816, He had no children by either marriage. Mr. Dodd had an uncommon love for anti- quarian and genealogical research. It is due to his early labors that we are now able to trace distinctly the several branches of the Dodd family up to Daniel, Stephen and Samuel, the three sons of Daniel 1st, (Ebenezer having no known descend- 54 OREAT-ORANDSON ISAAC.

Besides his " Family Record of Daniel Dod, and also of his descendants in New Jersey," (a document invaluable in compiling the present History, in spite of some errors of the author, and many of the printer), Rev. Stephen Dodd com- piled with great labor and research a Genealogical Register of East Haven. He had collected, in manuscript, copious notes towards a genealogy of the Crane family, to which his mother belonged. The failure of his eyesight towards the end of his life probably prevented him from preparing for the press a careful revision of the Dod Record. He was a liberal donor to the New Jersey Historical Society, to which he gave, among other books, a complete file of the Sentinel of Freedom, from the beginning. 5th Deg.

William, June 24, 1779, also at the age of 20, June 18, 1799, was killed 1)y lightning on Governor's Island, in New York harbor, where he was at work as a carjienter.t He was on the eve of marriage. 3. Rachel, April 24, 1782, perished also in her 20th year, being di'owned with her father and a cousin, July 23, 1801.1 * Tradition supposes that Jared Dod, eldest son of Matthias, perished in the battle of the Nile ; but this is disproved hy an old letter of his dated nearly three months after that battle, directed to his brother William; stating that on his return in the brig Citizen, from Hispaniola, with sugar and coffee, they were taken by a British cruiser, and carried into Halifax, we su]ppose, on pretence of violating the orders in Council, by trading with a French colony. Jared thus lost his private venture of two ban-els of sugar and five bags of coflFee, all he was worth. At the date of the letter, Oct. 26, 1798, he was still waiting for the trial of the brig, which he was told would he in twenty days ; but intended to " get home as soon as he could." As he never got home, he was probably im- pressed at Halifax, or possibly on his return l)y sea to New York. His case is a striking example of that tyranny of the British on the seas, which drove our fathers into the war of 1812. t William Dodd, while at work on Governor's Island, took shelter from a thunder shower in a room filled with carpenters' tools. The col- lection of so much iron and steel in the room probably occasioned the fatal stroke of lightning. X On a summer day, July 23, 1801, a party of pleasure, old and young, sailed to Coney Island. Through the mismanagement of the cajitain, who was intoxicated, the young peoi)le went in bathing in an unsafe place. Rachel Dodd, and her cousin Stephen Munn, (son of John Munn, her mother's brother,) got out of their depth. Her fiither, who was an excellent swimmer, went to assist them ; but in the wild confusion of the drowning struggle, both caught hold of him, and all perished together, and were swept into the sea, whence their bodies were never recovered. Thus died Matthijis Dodd, aged 48 yeare. Within the space of three years the father and three eldest children of this lately hajipy and flour- ishing family were taken away. Sec.

His maternal great-grandfather was Deacon Abner Ball, a great- grandson of Edward Ball, one of the companions of Daniel Dod in the first settlement of Newark. Aaron P. Mitchell, who married Ann Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of M. M. Dodd, was also, I think, a de- scendant of Edward Ball. Lydia, daughter of Edward Ball, married Joseph Peck, and had two sons. Deacon Joseph Peck of Orange, and Timothy Peck, of Morristown. John Peck, Esq., son of the deacon, had l.)y his first wife, Elizabeth Dodd, two sons, Joseph and Stephen. Joseph married Marj^ Hedden, (daughter of Jonathan,) and had five daughters, the youngest of whom, Mary Ann, married Lewis Mitchell, of East Orange. If this genealogy is correct, then Aaron P.

Some of the dates given aljove are unccrtam ; because we do not know the date of the letter from which they were taken. For instance, Parmenas Dodd, whose own letter to us is dated " June 30, 1862," gives the age of Sebra's son Albert as " 15 the 31st of this month." This cannot refer to Jime, and leaves us uncertain whether the letter from which he copied was dated January, March, or May. We think it most probable it was January, and have made the dates to correspond. We cannot guess whether the youngest was named Baby (for Barbara ?) or was yet unnamed.

It is much to be desired that we had similar authentic narratives of the trials with which the early settlers of New Jersey had to contend, nearly two centuries ago. IVIr. Barker says : " I have often heard my mother speak of the place where they used to live, and of Newark mountains." [Orange was known before and during the Revolution by that name.] " She said the girls felt very sorry to leave, and many was the citing spells they had on the road ; and when they were going through the Great Swamp, night overtook them, and they had to encamp out. Then she said they all wept from the oldest to the least." [In those days, there being neither steamljoats, canals, nor railroads, families removing West had to perform the whole journey in covered wagons with their o-mi teams, and the rate of progress was of course slow.] ]\Ii-. Barker adds, that though only eight years old when he left his grandfather Stephen Dodd's place, " yet I remember Grand Pa's looks perfectly. His height was full medium, his eyes a deep blue, his haii- nearly black. I tliink he was a peaceable, good sort of man, and died a Chiistian. And all of his daughters that have gone I Ijelieve lived and died like Christians, and we trust theii' father's God was their God." In another letter, jVIr. Barker gives this accoimt of Pioneer life in the West. "My father came to the Wioma coimtiy from Massachusetts just after the war. My Mother, you know, was from the Jerseys. I suppose they were man-ied in 1786. I was born Nov. 18, 1787 — of course I am now 74. In '95 we moved up the Susquehannah to my grandfather Dodd's, now in the town of Nichols. The following year we moved about 25 miles into the woods, four miles without a house, to the place where my father lived and died ; now the town of Spencer. We were the first family that moved in, but others soon followed. This was in Fcbruaiy, '96. Here we lived one year with only six families fora neigh- Ijorhood. Here we were in a wilderness, shut out, as it were, from the world. No grist mills — no stores — no tanneries. We had hogs and cattle, but no sheep. There was plenty of deer, wolves, panthers, and bears. We could raise flax, but what were we to do for winter clothing ? Necessity is the mother of invention. My Pa tried dressing deer skins, and finally succeeded after a while to get something for limiself and me to wear, as I was the only son at that time. That Avas my only dress from head to feet, excejit shirt and hat, mostly summer and winter. Pa 104 GREAT-GRANDSON STEPHEN, JR. [Part I. in the town of Nichols, Tioga Co., N.

Stephen 8d, of Stephen, Jr., and Kuth, married, May, 1794, Orley Light, who was born Saturday, Oct. 22, 1772, and made what we call a samp mortar, to pound corn in ; and many a bushel I ijoundcd myself, the fine for johnny cake, the coarse for samp. Well now if you would like to know how he made his samp mortar, I will try to tell you. He cut a hard maple log, two feet over, squared olf at both ends, al)out 3 feet long ; set one end on the ground ; then burnt out the other end with chijis, till he got it in the shape of a salt mortar ; then fixed a spring pole with the pestle to it like an old-fashioned well sweep. My Pa taught the first school in the town in 1800, in a little smoky log house ; and before we got to having schools good for much, I was of age." [This Mr. Barker modestly mentions to account for his lack of education. We observe, however, that he writes and si^ells better than many who have been to schools and academies of greater pietensions.] "In 1813, I got married, and the next year we moved 8 miles north of Sjienccr. I ))roke two miles into the woods without any house between ; lived one summer alone without hearing any noise, ex- cept the hooting of the owls and the whistling of the wind. Here we stayed 40 years till our children grew up, got married and left us. Here I sjicnt the best part of my days, and I may say my hap2)iest ones, in clearing up and cultivating my farm, and raising stock, till we got too old to work. I then left my farm with my son-in-law, ami bought a house and lot in the village (of Spencer) on one corner of my father's old homestead. Here we expect to die." " I had been wanting to go back to see the jjlace of my nativity, old Wioma, 3 miles below Wilkesbarre. I wanted to see how much it had altered in 66 years. Well, in July last I got started ; found the old spot ; was surprised to see so little improvement or alteration. There I was in the same streets I used to play in. There were the same brooks, the same hills : but the neighbors, where were they ? All gone. I was a stranger in my own country. Nobody knew me, nor did I find any one that I knew, and but one person that I liad ever seen before. It made me feel very solemn to sec how man passes away." Sec.

Note. — There is some error in these dates, but we have not the means of correcting them. Either the birth of Sally is given a year too late, or that of Amzi a year too early — ^probably the latter. And we suspect Sally's marriage should be 1819, instead of 1809, as it is given in the letter of her brother, Harrison Dodd.

We annex an eloquent and feeling tril)ute to the memory of Cajjt. Dodd from Rev. D. T. Morrill, late Chaplain of his Regiment : Newakk, N. J., July yth, 1863. Dr. B. L. Dodd: JDeai" Sir — I esteem it Ijoth a privilege and pleasure to comply with your request that I should bear some testimony to the character of the late lamented Capt. S. U. Dodd, of Co. H, 26th Regiment, N. J. Vols. My acquaintance with him was brief, embracing only some nine months, but it was under circumstances that form the severest test of character. There are few more fieiy ordeals through which character passes than an official position in the [American] army. This he withstood as gold stands the fire. His was a character so consistent, compact and com- plete, that it was only polished and purified by the friction that wears and wastes that formed of less durable materials. There was m him a rare blending of varied and 02>posite qualities. In some single quali- ties there were doubtless some officers in the Regiment who were his equals or superiors ; but in all the elements that enter into that combi- nation requisite to produce in one i^erson an upright man, a good officer, an ardent patriot, and an huml^le Christian, he was without an equal. He had those qualities rarely found in combination, by which he could ])c familiar with his men without breeding contempt — which enabled him to mingle with them when off duty as equals, and when on duty command them as a superior. His patriotism was of the purest and most persistent character. It was such that no hardshij) nor tern- Sec.

For some weeks before the second l^attle of Fredericksburg he had been quite sick and off duty ; and in the opinion of the Surgeon and other officers was not able to go with the Regiment. But he could not bear to have his company in the perils of battle without being at its head. So he followed on after it, and caught uj) before the Regiment crossed the river. In storming the heights he kept along as well as his feeble strength would allow. Through his patriotic desire and mdom- itable will, he rose so far superior to bodily weakness, as in the bloody battle of the next day. May 4th, to take command of his company and distinguish himself for coolness and valor. In the third and last cross- ing of the Rajjpahannock, it fell upon the 26tli N. J. V. and 5th Vt. to cross in boats and charge the enemy's rifle pits. His company occu- pied the right of the line, and it was his place to lead the Regiment. This he did in heroic style. In the face of a destructive fire from rebel sharjjshooters he led his men down the bank, and at their head entered one of the i^ontoon boats, soon after which he received a mortal wound. He lingered about eighteen hours, suffering intense pain without a complaint. He was conscious of his aj^proaching end, and that he might die in full possession of his faculties he refused to take stimulants or opiates. I felt that the place " where this good man met his fate, was jirivileged beyond the common walks of life, quite on the verge of heaven." His " end was peace," as might have been expected from one who in his life maintained so humble and so consistent a Christian character. His loss was greatly deplored by the entire Regiment. There was neither an officer nor a man in the Regiment who did not feel that in his death he had lost a personal friend. Such, in Ijrief terms, is the estimate I foi-med of his character during the brief period that it was my privilege to enjoy his acquaintance and confidence. Many jDrecious gifts have been laid on our country's altar during this war ; but none more precious, within the range of my personal knowledge, than Capt. S. TJ. Dodd.

EBENEZER DOD, the second son of Daniel of Branford, is noticed in tlie Newark Town Records, Jan. 8, 1673-4, when he had "granted to him the Seaman's lot, lying over the way against Thomas Richards ;" and on the 19th of March following, he had " liberty to buy Edward Ball's accommodation, provided he subscribe to the fundamental agreement, as the other inhabitants have done." Edward Ball had just bought, in partnership with three others, half the large tract recently purchased by the town in the Neck, between the Passaic and the Hackensack, and wished to sell his lands in Newark. But as the title to the Neck proved defective, (involving the purchasers in loss and litigation,) Ball and his partners returned the next year to Newark. And as we afterwards find Edward Ball and his sons still occupying their original " accommodation" or home lot in Newark, (between Broad and Washington streets, just above the canal,) it follows either that the sale to Ebenezer Dod was not completed, or that Ball repurchased it. As there is no subsequent mention of Ebenezer, he probably died not far from 1674-5, and left no family, at least no son. It is possible, but not probable, that he removed back to New England.

STEPHEN DOD, the tliird son of Daniel Ist, settled in Guil- ford, Conn., where also his two eldest sisters — Mary Blachley and Anna Fowler — lived. He married Mary Stevens, May 18, 1678. Among the first settlers of Guilford, (who, it is said, chiefly came from Kent, in England, and were remarkable for good husbandry,) we find the names of John and Thomas Stephens. It is presumed one of these was the father-in-law of Stephen Dod. Stephen Dod had two sons : 1. DANIEL, (of Guilford.) 2. SAMUEL, (of Guilford.) The male line of Samuel (who remained in Guilford) failed, as we shaU see ; but the descendants of Daniel (who removed to New Jersey,) are very numerous. Thus it happened that, though one of the sons of Daniel Dod 1st remained in Connecticut, all his living male descendants are of Jersey descent. Stephen Dod died in October, 1691, in his 37th year. His wife died before him, as we learn from his will, preserved in the New Haven Probate Records. The last Will akd Testament op Stephen Dod, of Guilford, in tiee! County of New Haven, deceased 26 Oct. 1691.

Item — He gave the other half of all his other lands and meadow to his younger son Samuel. Item — He gave all his moveable estate to be equally divided between his sons Daniel and Samuel, except only that as a legacy he gave a cow tc his cousin Mary Wheeler, who lived with him ; as also he gave the wedding gown of his late deceased wife unto his sister, Anna Fowler. Item — For the fulfilling and true performance of this his will, he constituted and made Deacon William John- son and Lieut. Stephen Bradley his administrators." — New Haven Probate Records, 1 B.^fage 194. His estate was appraised Nov. 8, 1691, at £337. In the 2d Book of Deeds, Town Eecords of Guilford, is recorded a quit- claim deed of Daniel Dod of Newark, Essex county, New Jersey, to his brother Samuel Dod of Guilford, in which he quits his claim to all right and title in the lands and tenements left him by his father, Stephen Dod of Guilford, dated May 3, 1707. Most of these lands are (or were in 1839) in the hands of the Burgis family, and other descendants of Samuel DoA Grandson Daniel of Guilford. Grandson Daniel, ist son of Stephen of Guilford. DANIEL, the first son of Stephen of Guilford, was born about 1679, married at about 23, and (says Eev. Stephen Dodd,) removed to Newark when he was about 27. We think, however, that he married his wife in Newark. She was, as we be- lieve, Elizabeth Riggs, daughter of Joseph Riggs, and sister of Samuel Riggs, who, in his will, names his " loving brother-in-law, Daniel Dod." We think it is this Daniel Dod who, in company with Dr. Jacob Arent, built a saw-mill on the Rah way river, near Jefferson Village, about the year 1718 ; and also the same who ap- pears as a land surveyor and as surveyor of the highways in 1721, and at other dates.* He had three sons : 1. Stephen, (of Mendham), bom April 4, 1703, probably at Guilford ; died about 1760. 3. John, the carpenter, bom May 14, 1711 ; died Aug. 10, 1768. 3.

One of the land- marks was a saw-mill built by Dr. Jacob Arent and Daniel Dod.

Mr. Suydam, having lent money to Robinson, was induced to go alone to the house of that wretch, jiroljably by promise of repayment ; and his ])ody was afterwards foimd concealed under the floor. 140 GREA T- GRANDSON STEPHEN, OF MENDHAM.

He was killed by the bursting of a boiler, on board the steamboat " Patent," in the East Pdver, in May, 1823. His sou, the late Rev. Albert B.

Albert was like his father, not only in his mathematical tastes, but in the versatility of his genius, and his quickness in mastering a difficult subject, amounting almost to intuition. From tlie time he knew how to read, he evinced a great fondness for Sec.

He was very affectionate in his spirit, and gentle in his manners, and always the favorite of the younger children. When his parents removed to Elizabethtown, he was seven years old ; and from that time was kept constantly at school. He fitted for College at a classical school in the town, taught by a Mr. Smith. When he was fourteen, his teacher told his parents that it was useless for him to attend his school any longer, as he was in advance of his school- fellows, and was prepared to enter the Sophomore class at Princeton. His parents, thinking that he was too young to commence a collegiate course, concluded to send him to Dr. Armstrong, who had resigned his pastoral charge, and was then teaching a classical school in the neighboring town of Bloomfield. He remained there, however, but one term, and spent the winter of that year at home — reading, and teaching the younger children of the family. In the spring of 1821, being then fifteen years of age, he entered the Sophomore class in Princeton College, half ad- vanced. He became hopefully pious the first year he was in College, and joined the Church in Princeton. He graduated in the autumn of 1822, being seventeen and a half years old. The Hon. Samuel Southard and Mr. Dod's father had, from early life, been intimate friends. Mr. Southard, who was then Secretary of the Navy, attended the Commencement exercises the year that Albert graduated, and immediately wrote to his father, congratulating him that he had a son of so touch promise, and offering to advance him in the Navy, if he would consent to enter it. But the son had already chosen 142 OREAT-QBAmSOl^ STEPHEN, OF MENDBAU.

When this was communicated to Mr. Southard, he immediately wrote back that application had just been made to him for a teacher, by a gentleman of his acquaintance near Fredericksburg, Va., and recommended that the son of his friend should accept the place. He did so, and went the same fall in which he was graduated, and remained there, in circumstances very agreeable to him, between three and four years. On his return from Virginia, he remained at home a few months, and in the autumn of 1826, became a member of the Theological Seminary at Princeton, The next year, he ac- cepted the Tutorship in Princeton College, still continuing his theological studies, as he had opportunity. He was licensed to preach, in the spring of 1828, by the Presbytery of New York; but retained his office as Tutor till 1829. In 1830, he was appointed to the Mathematical Professorship in the Col- lege, — a place that was eminently congenial with his tastes and habits. This appointment he accepted, and discharged the duties of the office with signal ability and fidelity. Here he continued till his death, which took place November 20j 1845. He died of pleurisy, after an illness of a week, having, during the whole time, maintained the utmost serenity of spirit. (For various Obituary Notices, see Appendix.) Professor Dod Was invited to take charge of several different congregations ; but uniformly declined from a conviction that his usefulness could not be promoted by leaving the College. He, however, preached a great deal ; and his labors were fre- quently put in requisition to supply destitute pulpits in both Sec.

The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by the University of North Carolina in 1844, and by the University of New York, in 1845.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF LEBBEUS DOD, and his son DANIEL AND GRANDSON EZRA K. DOD OF CUBA. We make tlic following extracts from a long and interesting letter, dated Dec. 8, 1860, received from Jolm B. Dod, M.D., of Guines, Cuba, ■which we regret we cannot find room to insert in full : " Lebbeus Dod, my great-grandfather, was born in New Jersey, and * Bom in Mcintosh Co., Geo., July 25, 1814, daughter of Col. Jesse Horace Harrison and Mary Martha Pelot. Sec, XI.] GREAT-GRANDSON STEPHEN, OF 3IENDIIAM. 145 married Mary Baldwin. He removed to Western Virginia, Init on ac- count of Indian troubles, returned just before the revolution, and settled in Mendham, Morris Co., N. J. He was attached to the revolutionary army during the whole war, with the rank of Captain of Artillery. He distinguished himself at the skirmishes of Springfield and Elizabeth- port, but was otherwise in little active service, being detached by Washington to form an armory for the repair and manufacture of mus- kets, for which his mechanical talent particularly adapted him. For this purjjose, he erected a building at his own residence, which was still standing in 1814. He was constantly exposed to the attempts of the British to capture him, and was compelled to remove his works to a secluded portion of his own land. On one occasion, he was sui-prised by the enemy, who had received information of his movements, and was only saved by the self-possession and presence of mind of his wife. While they were probing the hay in the barn, under which he was concealed, with their bayonets, she placed her wheel at a window, where she could watch them, and began to spin and sing a hymn with the greatest composure. Her conduct convinced them that her husband had had time to escape, and they withdrew without firing the barn, which they were on the j)oint of doing. Having served during the war, and when, in his own words, ' a month's j)ay would only buy him a pair of boots,' he at its close devoted himself to the cultivation of his farm, to surveying and the manufiicture of mathematical instru- ments, and among other things he invented the ' parallel rule protractor.' He had a claim against the State of Virginia, for which his son Daniel visited the State, but having met Madison, he was told by him that he had a similar claim, and never expected it would be paid." The three sons of Lebbeus Dod "established a manufactory of cotton machinery, and had just succeeded in firmly establishing their business, and making many improvements in that kind of machinery, when the depression in domestic manufactures, in consequence of the immense importations at the close of the war of 1813, caused a total loss of the whole concern." "Daniel Dod, in 1812, removed from Mendham to Elizabethtown, to establish, with ex-Governor Aaron Ogden, the manufacture of steam machinery. Gov. Ogden, while on a visit to Schooley's Mountain, was induced by Judge Ford of Morristown to visit the Docls' works at Mendham. He was so much pleased with the ingenuity there displayed that he asked Daniel, in his abrupt way, if he could make a steam engine. Daniel replied that he never had made one, but thought that he could, and agreed to attempt it. [Steam engines were by no means so common then as now.] He did so, and constructed a working model of a steamboat steam engine, in every essential point identical witli those of the present day. When finished, Ogden was called to witness the trial. Of that trial, my father was the only living witness, and remembers distinctly the whole scene, and the delight of Colonel Ogden at the success of the undertaking.

This makes her birth 1747. From an old newspaper, we learn that Timothy Dodd, a soldier of the Eevolution, distinguished for his pleasing manners, died at Caldwell, October 7, 1831, at the age of 80.

All that is known of the names of his children is, that he had a son Jesse Dodd, who about 25 years since, was visiting his relatives in New Jersey, Grandson Samuel of Guilford. Grandson Samuel, younger son of Stephen of Guilford. EXTINCT BRANCH (iN MALE LINE.) SAMUEL DOD, the younger son of Stephen of Guilford, died May 24, 1757. His age is not ascertained, but must have been quite advanced, as he survived his father nearly 66 years. He married Hannah Savage of Middletown, Jan. 10, 1704, (probably 1705, new style.) If his age at his marriage was 22 or 28, he lived about 75 years. The births of his children, as copied by Rev. Stej^hen Dodd from the old town records of Guilford, were : 1. Ebenezer, Dec. 23, 1705 ; died May 19, 1783, aged 77. 3. Samuel, Feb. 38, 1707; died unmarried, Aug. 25, 1751. 3. Hannah, July 38, 1713 ; died July 36, 1795, aged 83.

A. C. M. Pen- nington. The Eecord is as follows : " Samuel Dod doth freely resign and lay down to the Town's disposal his right to any land, meadow or bogs, which he hath illegally taken up, contrary to a Town agreement. " Item. — It is agreed that Samuel Dod is admitted a Planter in our Town, and hath liberty to possess lands by gift or pur- chase, according to Town rights, as other Planters do. " Item. — Sam'l Dod hath granted to him that 25 acres laid out already on Watsesson, and that part of swamp laid out to him by the surveyor, containing about 20 acres, provided it shall lie common for stone and timber, as the Third Division doth ; and that part of land belonging to the Town, (if any,) lying near Hance's,* provided it prejudice not the Highway." * Hance, or Hans Albcrs, one of the first settlers, whose home lot iuljohicd ou the east of that here granted to Sam'l Dod. 183 SAMUEL BOB [FIRST) This land on Watscsson, or Watsessing Plain, says Eev. Stephen Dod, was on the cast side of his brother Daniel's laud. Samuel Dod had his lands confirmed to him by patent from the Proprietors, as we learn from the " Bill in Chancery." In Jan. 1701-2, he was chosen constable of the town. His will is the oldest will of a Dod on record in this State. It is dated Feb. 3, 1712-13, and w^as proved 1714; he probably died, therefore, either in 1713 or 171-1, aged 66 or 57. Besides his wife Martha, the will names his sons, And daufyhters, 1. SAMUEL. 3.

Of the daughters no more is known, except that Mary, in 1714, chose Joseph Ball her guardian. Perhaps Joseph Ball's wife Hannah was a sister to Samuel Dod's wife — or she may have been an elder daughter of Daniel Dod 2d. That the two families were related is made probable by the similarity in the names of the children, Joseph Ball also having a Samuel, Jonathan, Hannah and Eebecca, as well as a Daniel. NOTE. From iiifoi-matiou furnislicd I)y the lute venerable Silas Condit, tlierc is reason to believe tliat Mary, dangUter of Samuel Dod 1st, -was tlie wife of his ifreat-grandfather, Samuel Condit. In Orange old grave yard arc the head-stones of Samuel Condit, Sen'r, who died July 8, 1771, aged SAMtTEL DOD {IFIRBT.) 183 81, and of Maiy, liis wife, who died May 25, 1755, in lier 57tli year. Their sons were Samuel, David, Daniel, Jonathan, and perhaps others. Samuel Condit 2d, whose wife was Martha Carter, was the father of Dr. John Condit, who died May 6, 1834, aged 79, fatlier of Hon. Silas Condit. He (Dr. John Condit) was long a member of Congress from New Jersey. Another son of Samuel Condit 2d, was Daniel Condit who married Mary M. Dodd, daughter of Nathaniel, son of Stephen Dod 1st. Two of their sons, (as noted in the proper places,) were Samuel Condit who married Charlotte Dodd, daughter of Matthias, and Cheveiil, or Sacheverill, that married Lydia Dodd, daughter of Eleazer. The ancestor of the Condit family was John Condit, (or Cundict, as it was sometimes spelled,) who died about 1713, leaving a son Peter, who married Mary Harrison, daughter of Samuel Harrison, one of the first settlers of Newark, (He was, I think, the eldest son of Sergeant Richard Harrison, and married Mary Ward, daughter of Sergeant John Ward.) Peter Condit died about 1714, and names in his will six sous and one daughter — Samuel, John, Peter, Nathaniel, Philip, Isaac, Mary. John Condit, son of Peter, died about 1780, leaving a son Matthew, (father of the John Condit that married Mary, daughter of Captain Amos Dodd,) and a daugliter Ruth, who, I think, was the same that married Nathaniel Dodd, named above. Isaac Condit, the youngest son of Peter, was the father of Hannah, who married Captain Amos Dodd, and of Abigail, who married Joshua Dodd. Philij) and Peter 2d, sons of Peter Condit, are buried at Morristown. From information obtained from an aged lady of Newark, Mrs. Sarah Smith, a daughter of Jonathan Williams, and sister of Timothy Wil- liams, it appears certain that Martha, second daughter of Samuel Dod 1st, was her grandmother, wife of Thomas Williams. (See the note on Williams family, under Isaac Dod.) Also that Rebekah, the third daughter, was the first wife of Joseph Iledden, Sen'r, and mother of Joseph Hedden, Jun'r, so distinguished in the Revolutionary histoiy of Newark as a martyr to British cruelty and Tory vengeance. In the old burying ground at Orange is the memorial of Rebekah, wife of Joseph Hedden, who died May 14, 1745, aged 42. Josepli Hedden, Jun'r, an active magistrate of Newark in the Revolution, and one of the Conunis- sioners for the forfeiture of the estates of those who took part with the enemy, was driven from a sick bed to New York on a winter night, and confined in a loathsome prison, and died in consequence of the ill usage received, in the year 1780, aged 52. The children of Joseph and Rebekah Hedden were Jonathan, Elijah. 184 SAMUEL DOB (FIRST.) Elienczcr, David, Joseph, and Martha, who married Coleman, Joseph Hedden, Jun'r, left sous William, Moses, Israel, James, Isaac, and a daughter Sarah. Joseph Hedden, Sen'r, had children by a second wife. He was one of several children of Edward Hedden and Jane Jones. lu the old Ijurying ground at Newark is still to be seen the memorial of Jane, wife of Edward Hedden, who died Feb. 23, 1773, aged 105, proltably the oldest person that ever died in Newark. Susannah, the fourth daughter of Samuel Dod, married a Baldwin, and had children. One was also called Susannah, and married a Moses Baldwin, who lived near Jonathan William's farm. (This Moses died 1802, in his 44th year; his sister was wife of Jared Harrison.) We think we have ascertained this Moses Baldwin to be a son of ]\Ioses Baldwin, and a grandson of Joseiih Baldwin, who died Sept. 20, 1776, aged 93 years. We cannot say who was his father-in-law, the husliand of Susannah Dod, Hannah, the youngest daughter of Samuel Dod, married a Johnson. Mrs. Smith recollects her and several of her chihb-cn. She was a little woman. One of her daughters, also named Hannah, (who never mar- ried) was called Long Hannah, in contradistinction to lier mother. Another daughter, Comfort, also died unmarried, and in youth. A third daughter Martha, married Jonas Ward. Mrs. Smith cannot recollect the names of the sons. Grandson Samuel 2d. Grandson Samuel 2d, son of Samuel ist. —.»>«@ ©«...— SAMUEL 2d, son of Samuel 1st, was born about 1695, and, as we learn from his headstone at Orange, died April 16, 1773, in his 78th year. It appears from the Town Eecords that he was a lieutenant of militia, and was assessor of the town in 1710. He married Mary Pierson, who, says Rev. Stephen Dod, died in 1795, a few days before her son Samuel. From the ages of their children, Samuel 2d appears, like his father, to have married late.* His children were : 1. Martha, May 20, 1731 ; married Matthew Harrison, and died Oct. 6, 1793, aged 61, by the old family record; lier head-stone says GO.f Her husband died March 3, 1767, aged 40. 2. Mary, Dec. 36, 1733. * By trade Samuel Dod 2d seems to have been a carpenter. On tlie back of the copy of his Family Record, preserved by his descendants, we found an " Acompt of the Saw Mill upon Second River. Begun to fell timber for the s"", Jan. 9, 1728." He generally cliarged 4s. a day for himself, and 2s. 6d. for Roljert Ward, who was probably his ajjprentice. Among other items we note "for twelve days work a fraiming;" also several charges for going to Mr. Leonard at Hanover about the irons. t I think she was the same widow Martha Harrison who was the second wife of Daniel Dod 4th.

This celebrated divine was bom at Sliotwicli in Cliesliire, about the year 1549, was the youngest of seventeen children, and educated in Jesus College, Cambridge, where he continued nearlj"- sixteen years, and was chosen Fellow of the house. Duiing his abode in the University, he became thoroughly convinced of his sins, betook himself to deep humiliation, and earnestly sought the blessing of pardon and peace through Jesus Christ; which, to his unspeakable comfort, he at last obtained. While at Cambridge, he was particularly intimate with Drs. Fulke, Chad- dcrton, AVliitaker and others, who held their weekly meetings for prayer and expounding the Scriptures. In the year 1615, a divine of the same name, and no doubt the same jjerson, was elected Proctor of the University. Having received an invitation to liecome jjastor of Hanwell in Oxfordshire, he left the University, and entered on the stated exercise of the Christian ministry. His labors at Hanwell were numerous, and most extensively useful. It is observed that hundreds of souls were at this place converted under his ministry. He was about thirty years old when he first settled at Hanwell, and remained there about twenty years, where he had twelve children by his first wife, the daughter of Dr. Nicholas Bound. After her death, he took a second wife, and was married by his old friend. Dr. William George. Mr. Dod's great popularity and usefulness in the above situation roused the envy of several neighboring ministers, who, though they seldom preached themselves, would not allow their people to go and hear him ; and for the singular crime of multitudes flocking to his ministry, he was several times questioned in the BishoiDs' Court ! In addition to this, being exercised with some other trials, he was induced to consult Mr. Grcenham, his excellent father-in-law. This reverend divine, after hearing his complaints, * See Introduction, p. 10. 196 ^ APPENDIX. said, " Son, son, T\-lien affliction lieth heavy, sin lietli liglit ;'' and gave Mr- Dod such suitable advice that he had abundant cause to bless God for it, and found it of excellent use all the rest of his days. However he was at length suspended from his ministry at Hanwell by Dr. Bridges, Bishop of Oxford. Being driven from his affectionate and beloved people, he preached a short time at Fenny Compton in Warwickshire, then accepted an in^-itation to Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire. In the latter situa- tion he was treated with peculiar kindness by Sir Erasmus Diydcn, a gentleman of great learning and piety ; but he did not long continue without molestation, for upon the complaint of Bishojj Neile, he was silenced by the Archbishop. Though this excellent divine was cast aside, he did not remain idle. "When nis efforts at public usefulness were set aside, he went from house to house, giving jirivate instnictions ; and by his pious discourse and holy deportment, he was nearly as useful as when he enjoyed his public ministry. He was particularly desirous of a more pure reformation of the church, and therefore united with his brethren in subscribing the " Book of Discipline." He continued under the above suspension several years. But on the accession of King James, Sir Richard Kniglibly procured him his liberty, and he renewed his ministerial labors at Fausley in Northamptonshire, where he continued, in great reputation and usefulness, all the rest of his days. Here also he felt the iron rod of the prelates ; and, as in the three former situations, he was, for a time, suspended from his ministry. Mr. Dod was a jDattem of patience. He bore his numerous trials with great meekness of spirit, and holy resignation to the -R-ill of God. He used to say : " Sanctified affections are spiritual promotions." In the sixty- third year of his age, he labored under extreme bodily afl^ction, and was brought to the very brink of the grave ; but when the physician, who gave a check to his complaint, told him he then had some hopes of his recovery, the good old man replied, " You think to comfort me by what you say ; but you make me sad. It is the same as if you had told one who had been sorely weather beaten at sea, and was expectmg to enter the desired haven, that he must return to sea, to be tossed by fresh winds and waves." This venerable divine used to say, " Nothing shall hurt us but sin, and that shall not hurt us, if we can repent of it. Afflictions are God's portions which we may sweeten by faith and jjrayer ; but we often make them bitter by putting into God's cup the ingredients of impatience and imbelief " During the civil war [between King and Parliament,] when some of the King's party came to his house, and threatened to take away his life, this heavenly divine with holy confidence rejjlied, " If you do, you will send me to heaven where I long to be, but you can do nothing except God REV. JOHN D OB. ' 197 give you leave." When tliey broke open liis chests and cupboards, and carried away what they pleased, his only complaint was, " The Lord gave, cmd the Lord has talen away. Messed he the name of the Lordy When they came a second time, he was confined to his bed by sickness, but though they cut away the curtains from his bed, and took the pillow cases from under his head, he uttered not a murmuring word. Coming a third time, and having taken most of the linen and household stuflF, and brought them into the room where the good old man sat wanning himself by the fire, he, during their absence to search for more, took a pair of sheets and put them under the cushion on which he sat, greatly pluaping himself after they were gone, that he had plundered the plunderers, and by a lawful robljery saved so much of his property. Mr. Dod was exceedingly beloved, though not without his enemies. These, out of malice, stigmatized him Faith and Repentance, because he was con- stantly recommending these two things. Though he was a strict non-conformist, and bore his share of suffeiings in the cause, he was of a most liberal spirit, and loved all who loved Christ. As old age and afHictions came upon him, he usually compared himself to Samson, when his hair was cut ; saying, " I rise in the morning as Samson did, and think I will go forth as at other times, but alas ! I soon find an alteration : I must stoop to old age, which both clips my hair, and takes away my strength. But I am not afraid to look death in the face. I can say, death where is thy sting ? Death cannot hiui me. To a wicked man, death is unwelcome ; but to a child of God, who hath labored and suffered much, death is welcome, that he may rest from his labors." During his last sickness, he was exercised with most grievous i)ains, but was emi- nently supported and comforted in the exercise of faith and i^atience. He wrestled hard with Satan, and at last overcame. His last words were, " I desire to dissolve and be with Christ." He finished his course and received the crown of righteousness in the year 1645, aged ninety-six years, when his remains were interred in Fausley church. Many cotemporary wiiters bear high testimony to Mr. Dod's learning, piety, and love of peace. Granger observes that " in learning he was excelled by few, and in unaifected piety by none. Nothing was ever objected to this meek and humble man but his being a Puritan. His sayings have often been printed, and are still to be seen pasted on the walls of cottages." An old woman in his neighborhood, he adds, told him that she would have gone distracted for the loss of her husband, if she had been without Mr. Dod's sayings in the house. It is recorded of Mr. Dod that one evening, being late in his study, his mind was strongly impressed, though he could assign no reason for it, to visit a gentleman of his acquaintance, at a very unseasonable hour. Not 198 APPENDIX. knowing the design of Providence, lie obeyed and went. When he came to the house, after knocking a few times at the door, the gentleman himself came, and enquired whether he wanted him upon any particular business. Mr. Dod having answered in the negative, and signified that he could not rest till he had seen him, the gentleman reiDlied, " Oh sir, you are sent of God at this very hour, fori was just now going to destroy myself;'' and immediately pulled the halter out of his pocket, by which he had intended to connnit the horrid deed. Thus the mischief was prevented. It is observed of Mr. Dod that a person being once enraged at his close and awakening doctrine, picked a quarrel with him, smote him in the face, and dashed out two of his teeth. This meek and lowly servant of Christ, without taking any offence, spit out his teeth and blood into Ms hand, and said, " See here, you have knocked out two of my teeth without any just provocation, but on condition I might do your soul good, I would give you leave to dash out all the rest." Thus Mr. Dod was not overcome of evil, but overcame evil with good. [These two anecdotes are from Flavel.] Mr. Timothy Dod, ejected in 1G73, was his son, and imitated the amiable virtues of his excellent father. Old Mr. Dod was commonly called the Decalogist, because he and Mr. Eoljcrt Cleaver, another Puritan minister^ pulilished " An Exposition of the Ten Commandants," 1G35. They also published " The Patrimony of Christian Children ;" and were the authors of " Ten Sermons to fit men for the worthy receiving of the Lord's Supper.' Mr. Dod, it is said, was the author of that singular and well known little sermon on the word MALT. Bishop Wilkins passed a high encomium on his sermons. ALBERT B. DOD, D. D; PROFESSOR DOD'S brief career was one of unusual brilliancy ; and his death, was moiuiied as a public calamity. How high the estimate in which he was held, and how profound and general the sorrow occasioned by his departure, all the references to that event made in the various news- papers at the time abundantly testify. In the absence of anything more complete and elaborate, having been disappointed in not receiving the full sketch of his life and character hoped for up to the last moment, we know not that we can do better than — availing ourselves of the tiles of the Newark Daily Advertiser for the year 1845 — to reiiroduce some of these notices of the cotemiierary press. Each of these has the value of an independent testimony ; and so, notwithstanding their similarity of character, they are allowed to stand for the most part just as they ajjpeared ; considering that the objection which may be raised on the score of repetition, is more than counterbalanced by the confirmation thereby afforded to the justness of the general estimate, and the exalted worth of the subject. The language emjjloyed, it will be perceived, is uniformly that of glowing eulogy ; and should the evident warmth of appreciation which characterizes all these sejiarate utterances, in the minds of the coldly critical, beget the suspicion, that some consideration is due to the enthusiasm of friendship, it would not, we conceive, aficct materially the value of the verdict ; for the social and moral qualities capaljle of exciting feelings of such fervency, as essentially to disturb the oj^erations of the judgment, are quite as rare and admirable, and would form a distinction, to say the least, equally honorable. The Newark Daily Advertiser in making the melancholy announcement of his death on the day following, marks its sense of the greatness of the loss by appearing in mourning, and says : " If worth be measured by the attributes of head and heart, New Jersey has no worthier living son. He was the i^ro- found and successful enquirer for truth in the range of abstract science ; the patient student whose toil was rewarded by the golden stores of learning ; an accomplished public writer ; an eloquent preacher ; a skillful and successful teacher. His fame, extensive as his country, is his best eulogy. But who shall fill his place in all the associations which he adorned ? In the social * See pp. 140-143. 900 APPENDIX. circle, the bereaved family, tlie venerable college ? The loss to some of these is irreparable." The gifted pen of the editor (Hon. William B. Kinney, subsequently our Charge d' Affaires at Turin) Avhich would seem never to grow weary in the grateful task of rendering affectionate and honorable tribute to the memory of a deceased friend, returns again to the subject in a letter written from Princeton giving an account of the funeral services which took place on the Saturday following his death. Under date of Nov. 23, 1845, he writes : " A solemn day in Princeton, one of those occasions in human life, which blend together by a common sympathy into a common brother- hood men of every circle and degree, and everything around and about us accordingly wears the aspect of the general sorrow and affliction. Where all are mourners, the mere badges of ceremony pass for little, but it is proper to say that the Trustees, Faculty and Students of the bereaved College appeared in a body to unite with the members of the other literary institutions of the place, the sympathizing people of the town, and a numerous body of the clergy and other friends from abroad, in these last services of affection and respect to the remains of one whose death is the common loss. The funeral services were conducted in the Presbyterian church, which was filled in every part — the coffin being placed in front of the j^uljiit. " The services were oi^ened with a hymn by the choir, after which the Rev. Dr. Miller led the congregation in prayer to the Throne of Mercy, The venerable President of the College (Rev. Dr. Carnahan,) then appropriately discoursed at some length upon the consolatory text : ' The Lord reigneth.' Since the last term closed, lie remarked, an eminent Trustee and two Students had been removed by death ; and now they were called upon to mom-n the loss of a great light extinguished at noon-day. He adverted with deep feeling to the great ability and fidelity of Prof Dod, in the discharge of every duty, and referred to the fact that for the 18 years the lamented deceased was connected with the Faculty, the greatest harmony had prevailed among its members upon every toinc of discipline and instruction. In recurring to the lieavy bereavement, he spoke at length and with beautiful discrimination of those rare endowments — the intuitive mind, the various learning, the refined taste, the brilliant genius, high morality, and attractive social qualities which made him one of the shining lights of his day. " The Rev. Dr. Hodge followed. He stated substantially and in part that probably on some other occasion full justice would be done to the character of the deceased ; his special ol)jcct now was to sjDcak of his last illness, and the moving circumstances which clustered so thickly around it. He premised however that Prof Dod was in various respects a remarkable man, learning by intuition comparatively those things to acquire which, ALBERT B. BOB, B. B. 201 exacted from other men the bestowment of much toil ; that his aptness to perceive mathematical trutli was only equalled by the elegance of his demonstration of it ; that his attainments did not terminate here, but extended to every branch of science ; that the prevailing trait of his mind was order, and this was beautifully manifested in his last hours. When numerous topics were pressing upon the mind, and in view of an almost present eternity, were clamoring for precedence, he calmly tcok them up and discussed them in turn. " He first spoke of his family, of his deep anxiety on their account, but on being reminded by this wife where to place his trust, he acquiesced, and returned to his topic no more. He then referred to his own hopes of Heaven, to his long settled convictions of truth and duty, and expressed unwaveiing faith in Him in whom he had believed. He next desired to see the Faculty, but it being late at night. Professor Maclean only was sent for, and upon his appearing, he addressed him as their representative, and sent a message of love to each of them, to his class and the students. The next morning he took leave of his colleagues in the Faculty, gave instructions resjjecting the care and education of his children— parted with those Mends who were present, by addressing to each a solemn admonition, and to those friends who were absent, he sent assurances of his esteem. During Wednesday last many quotations from the Scriptures, were repeated to him, and he generally replied to each one, ' Thank you for that.' But upon repeating to him 1st Cor. i, 30, he made no response, when a friend standing by, remarked, ' He did not hear that.' He in- stantly exclaimed, ' Yes I did, it sunk into my soul.' " The statement of Dr. Hodge contained abundant evidence how a great and good man can die, but this evidence is scarcely hinted at here, hopes being entertained that it will be published together with the President's discourse, in a volume. During its delivery, the greatest solemnity prevaded the assembly, and at times, it was with the greatest apparent difficulty, that the speaker could proceed. Dr. Rice closed the services with prayer after which the sad procession with its lengthened files, repaired to the old village grave-yard, and deposited the remains of their friend, among the departed officers of the College. Dr. Miller here read the last eight verses of the 1st chapter of 1st Cor., being verses often referred to, and repeated by the deceased in his last illness, and the assembly was then dismissed. Albert B. Dod now sleeps at the feet of Samuel Davies." The Advertiser of the same date, (Monday Nov. 24,) contains a dis- course delivered on the day previous in the 1st Presbyterian church of Newark, by the Rev. Samuel I. Prime, D. D., then and now the able Editor of the New York Obsei-ver, of which the following is a part : "A recent mourn- ful dispensation of Divine Providence has deprived the State of one of its 26 203 APPENDIX. distinguished nion ; its venerable College one of its brightest ornaments ; the church one of its most promising sons. * * * -pi^jg jg ^q^ ^]|g time, nor is he who sjjeaks the i^erson to jironounce the words of eulogy. His record is in the hearts of hundreds that have felt the impress of his genius, the power of his counsels, the M'armth of his love. As a scholar he was far in advance of men of his years. As a man of talents he had no superior among us. Rarely do we find such a harmonious blending of the powers of mind. Never did I know an instance in which the imagination and judgment were combined in such vast pro2)ortions. ' Where Fancy halted, weary in her flight In other men, his fresh as morning rose. And soared untrodden heights and seemed at home WTiere angels bashful 'looked.' " As a champion of the truth he was earnest, able and successful ; and as the highest and noblest excellence of his character, he brought all these gifts of God, tliese vast attainments of years of toil, and laid them at the feet of Jesus. His talents and acquirements were consecrated to Christ; were baptized with the blood of the Cross, and devoted to Him, on whom he leaned in a dying hour for the salvation of his own soul. It seems but yesterday, (it was but a few weeks ago,) that he sat at my table in this city and wrote these words ; beautifully expressive of his own spiiit and his own exiJerience. The subject of remark was the blessedness to ourselves of personal effort for the salvation of our fellow men. He wrote (and those of you who knew him, will recall him as I read) : 'The ancient Greeks had a saying that if a man had seen a gpd, he must die. The idea was, that he who had had communion with the imseen world, the spiritual universe of the gods, was unfitted for the duties of this. If he had once tasted of the power of the world to come, it only remained for him to shake oflf the dust of his feet, and take his departure. Such is not our teaching, and such was not the spirit of Paul retiring from an audience ■with God in glory. He came not back to scorn the world, and to neglect the labors that his existence here should impose, but to go through it in the spirit of his Master, saying "I can do all things through Christ -that strengtheneth mc.'" Let this spirit come in contact with men of the world, and they will feel it. Unbelief is the great crying sin of the age ; men do not believe the reality of the truths which the Gospel reveals ; these truths hang over them like the painted vapors that are exhaled from the solid earth, which may amuse them for a moment, but have no power to divert from the pursuit of the sensible realities around them. No human agency has such powerful tendency to convert these shadowy abstractions into real truths, as contact with the human heart, — that is, visibly living and acting under their influence. Let the christian in the exercise of the self-denying benevolence of his calling, visit the cabins of those who are living for this world, and he cannot but be startled by the exhibition of reality and power in truths and principles to which they are strangers. It is a revelation to them of a spiritual world, real and vital. It is a sprinkling from the spray of the infinite ocean of God's love.' '' Thus he wrote. Did he feel the dashing of the spray from the ocean of infinite ALBERT B. DOB, D.D. 203 love while here ? He bathes to-day in the swelling tide. There is joy to our tried hearts in that iDrecious assurance, ' What thou knowest not now, thou shalt know hereafter.' " The State Gazette pulilished at Trenton, the next day after his death speaks thus : " Professor Dod died yesterday afternoon, an affliction of the heaviest kind — the loss of a man eminent for talents and exerting a com- manding influence for good, has fallen suddenly upon us. Those who sufi'er this loss cannot yet ajipreciate its magnitude, yet they feel that it is irreparable. An acute and powerful intellect, extensive and accurate learning, an exquisite taste, a lively and brilliant genius, a high toned spirit, zealous for the right and indignant at the wrong, an elastic and indefatigable mind have per- ished. What is man, when so much of his best and most distinguished attributes thus vanish in a week ?' " The deceased was Professor of Mathematics in the College of New Jersey. He also lectured on Architecture, for which he had a passion, and in which, as in all the fine arts, he had a critical and excellent taste. He was one of the most active and brilliant ofiicers of the Faculty, and a shining ornament of this venerable institution." The New York Courier and Enquirer of the same day contains the following ; " Professor Dod, of Princeton, is dead. He breathed his last yesterday afternoon (Thursday) at about half-past four o'clock — after a week's illness. The College of New Jersey, of which the deceased was a distinguished Pro- fessor, will long mourn its ii'reparable loss — the Church, of which he was a learned and eloquent minister — the country, of which he was an intelligent, patriotic and faithful citizen — the friendly and the family circle, of which he was the hope and the ornament — each will mourn a dispensation, so little anticipated, so inscrutable, so overwhelming. " Albert B. Dod had reached his fortieth year, he was therefore in the vigor and promise of life; with all of his faculties bent to the accomplishment of the great trust to which he had devoted himself — that of advancing and perfecting liberal education. His department in the College was Mathematics, but his in- tellectual grasp comprehended all the kindred sciences — and Ms thirst for knowl- edge, combuaed wdth a discriminating taste, led him to the cultivation and appreciation of the Classics and Belles Lettres. He was indeed a fine illustration of an accomplished scholar and Christian gentleman — showing in all things the liberalizing influence of good studies upon an ingenuous nature. " In his intercourse with the students of the College Mr. Dod was most happy in conciliating their regard, while exciting their emulation. He taught them to value knowledge, as much by his example as his precepts, and he in like manner taught them, too, that neither talents nor knowledge are valuable, or to be valued, except as founded on, and strengthened by good principles and good conduct. 204 APPENDIX. " Of his social and domestic qualities, we will not trust ourselves to speak — for what to those who knew him not in those relations might seem exaggera- tion, would to the friends that loved him— sound like faint and feeble praise. But he is gone. ' Multis ille bonis flebilis occidit, Nulli flebilior qiiam mihi.' " The United States Gazette, published in Philadelphia, of Nov. 24, thus feelingly refers to the event. " We have the melancholy duty of recording the death of Albert B. Dod, D. D., late Professor of Mathematics in the College of New Jersey. He died on Thursday last, after a brief attack of bilious pleurisy. " Many hundreds of the educated young men of the country will read this paragraph with a moistened eye. Of all who, during the last seventeen years, have been connected with either the literary or the theological institutions of Princeton, there is not one, probably, who did not admire his high intellectual and moral endowments. Professor Dod's character was one peculiarly adapted to win the regards of educated young men. Chivalrous and high-minded hy nature, gifted with an extraordinary brilliancy of imagination, and a command of language equal to every emergency of the pen or the tongue, and with intellect whose etherial temper, like the sword of Saladin, was equal to its polish, he never failed in the lecture room or the pulpit, or in private life, to leave upon the minds of his youthful auditors not merely a strong impression of his genius, but that kind of impression which, like electric spark, calls forth the electricity of the recipient. Genius enkindles genius. This is a law of its nature, as general as any that pervades the material world. No young man, with the least particle of this divine essence within himself, could listen to Professor Dod without feeling his own intellectual activity quickened by contact with a mind that seemed to penetrate with equal ease the subtleties of dialectic, and the workings of human passion. " Professor Dod's department in the College, of which he was the distinguish- ed ornament, was the MatTiematics. He was one, however, qualified to shine in any department to which his attention was directed. His writings have been chiefly of a metaphysical and theological character. They have appeared from time to time in the Princeton Review, to which he has been for many yeai-s a leading contributor. The October number of that work contains a powerful article from his pen, of more than fifty pages, the last probably that he ever wrote. It is a review of that remarkable book, ' The Vestiges of Creation,' and has been pronounced by competent judges to be the ablest answer to the argument which it reviews, that has yet appeared on either side of the Atlantic. " Professor Dod was about forty years old. The death of such a man, just in the prime of life, and in the full vigor of his powers, cannot but be regarded as a public loss. He was one of that numerous but important class, who in ALBERT B. DOB, D.D. 205 every nation, without mingling much in public affairs, contribute materially to the formation of public opinion, and the moulding of national character ; who in the majestic language of Milton, ' are of power, beside the office of a pulpit, to iml:)reed and cherish in a great people the seeds of virtue and public civility ; to allay the perturbations of the mind, and set the affections in right tune; to celebrate in glorious and lofty hymns the throne and equipage of God's almightiness, what he works and what he suffers to be wrought with high providence in his church.' " A writer in the Albany Evening Journal, who signs himself H. H., pays the following tribute : " Professor Dod's attainments were varied and profound. As a Mathematician, and for discriminating powers of mind in general, it would be difficult to find his superior. He had noble and gentle qualities so com- bined as to make him at once loved and admired. I have been intimate with him for years, yet never saw I his equal in disinterestedness, in conscientiousness, or aught iu him that I could wish to correct. I loved him, and do not expect to see his like again. In my last intercourse with him, after a separation of two years, I was struck with the extent of his attainments, and the rich stores of thought he was ever ready to impart ; but what consoles me most now, is the feeling I had at the time of his ripening in piety. He expressed a sim- plicity and assurance of faith, for which I can but thank God as the inheritance of my friend. This must be the chief consolation of his bereaved wife and children. They must have broken hearts ; but there is sweetening of their grief in knowing that his goodness, his worth to them is now his reward and blessedness." Another wiiter (T. L. C.) in the Richmond Compiler, says : " So has fallen, in the noon day of his sti'ength, one of the most brilliant men of our State. It may be doubted whether there was another man in New Jersey who was a more cherished favorite with all the eminent men among us, of all professions, than Professor Dod. He was a noble-hearted, high-toned gentleman, a gen- erous friend, and a most fascinating companion. He was certainly the most brilliant converser that I ever knew. I have had the pleasure of knowing several of the most accomplished men in conversation, which our country contauis ; but I never met one here, or abroad, who in all the graces of con- versation equalled my departed friend. He had such a rich and varied store of knowledge, such a rapidity and play of thought, such an unceasing flow of Ijeautiful language — heightened by a courteous sweetness of manner, and great melody of voice — that no one who ever came within the reach of liis hand or the sound of his voice, went away without a deep impression of his extraordinary powers. As a teacher he was unsuqjassed ; and he was the only man I ever met who could throw the fascinations of wit and poetry over the dry abstractions of the higher mathematics. His versatility of talent seemed to reach all things. He had ' taken all knowledge to be his department.' 206 APPENDIX. In Theology, in Metaphysics, in Poetry, in Art, in general Literature, he was equally familiar, and shone in all. Those who have ever heard liim preach never can forget him. I wish I could give you some fitting description of his maimer, but I despair. The tidings of his melancholy end will fall cold on the hearts of all the many graduates of our college scattered throughout the land; and as they read the sorrowful intelligence, they will call up the familiar face once more, and see again his calm, intellectual countenance, his dark beaming eye, the broad forehead, with the thin hair falling loosely over it. They will hear again his low, sweet voice, now passed into the harmonies of another world, and their eyes will fill with unbidden tears at the thouglit that one gifted with such rare gifts is already laid low." Appealing in the form of a commmiication addressed to the editor of the Burlington Gazette, is the following from the late Bishop Doane ; and not- withstanding its length, such is its intrinsic interest ; such its touching noble- ness of expression — the generosity and magnanimity of its sentiments being enhanced in value by coming from one of another communion — such the affecting character of the allusion it makes to the painful incident of a student who was fatally wounded a short time before by the accidental discharge of a gun, and whose lingeriag agonies had been soothed by the assiduous watchings and tender care of the Professor until death closed the scene ; and finally such the amiable and attractive light in which both are exhibited in a corres- pondence so catholic and so christian, so genial withal and every way so honorable alike to their heads and hearts, that we feel it would be wrong to keep back any part, and so give it entire : To THE Editor of the Burlington Gazette : It was a grief of heart, such as I seldom had to bear, that I was not at the funeral of this beloved and lamented man. An engagement of positive duty, made before I knew of his illness, which I could neither delegate nor defer, required me to go from home, in another direction. But I was there in spirit ; and few were there, out of the charmed circle of his own immediate friends, to weep for him more bitter tears. I truly think, that New Jersey had not any son of l)ri<;liter promise, for her interest and fimie. And I am filled with awful adoration when I refiect, how rich and full His store of providence must be, who, seeing to the end from the l:teginning, has withdrawn him from us, when his day seemed not half spent, and when his usefulness and influence were spreading so, and deepening every day. I knew him well, and loved him better than I knew him. We often met at the house of a dear and venerable friend, and never without a marked increase of mutual love. He was a man of a most catholic mind, and of a more catholic heart. It took in all its kind ; and yet lost nothing from its individuality of tenderness. Tliis was most strikingly 'illustrated in "what drew him in, into the inmost circle of my bosom, his unexampled devotion to young Stockton Boudinot He took him to his house. He took him to his heart. He forgot his own infirmities of body. He endured, beyond the endurance of the strongest man. He practised the 'inventive tenderness of the most gentle woman. I saw his daily letters, from the bed-side of the sufferer, to the excellent lady I have ALBERT B. BOB, B.B. 207 alluded to above. They were perfect in their kind. So discreet, so tender, so touching. With each successive reading, my estimate of his un- rivalled friendship was increased. And, at the close of the strange case, unijaralleled in all the records of the 23rofession, I felt, and said, that, if such calamity should fall on me or mine, I could ask nothing from the Lord, with the confidence of His paternal mercy, but such a friend as Dr. Dod. I wrote to him what I had felt. And, on the very day before the sickness seized him, which in one week closed his life, he wrote to me the following letter. Be- lieving it to be one of the very last he ever wrote, I do not permit its strong exj^ressions of personal kindness to prevent my sending it to you entire : " I was very deeply affected by the heartiness of your kind letter. Had I wished for notice and applause, such commendation, from such a source, would have satisfied my highest ambition. But your quick and broad humanity M'ill enable you to comprehend me fully, M'hen I reply, in the words of our favorite jjoet-philosopher — ' I've heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds With coldness still returning ; Alas ! the gratitude of men Hath oftener left me mourning.' " I perceive, by the published rei^ort of the proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society, that I have been appointed to deliver the Address at their next meeting, and that you are my alternate. I could have wished that this order had been reversed. In a conversation which I had, the day before the meeting, with the chairman of the Executive Committee, I requested him to see to it, that you weie requested to deliver the next address. But as I had failed on this occasion,* and for what seemed a good and sufficient reason, I suppose they felt unwilling to thrust me unceremoniously aside. It is every way desirable, for intrinsic and external reasons, that the Address before the first Annual Meeting of the Society should l^e delivered by you. And it is evident that, l)ut for the acci- dent of my being in the way, you would have been selected for the i)erformance of the duty. I have to request, therefore, that you will be good enough to con- sider yourself charged with it. In making this request, I am not governed solely by a feeling of propriety ; though that would be enough. But under existing cir- cumstances, it would be impossible for me to do justice to the Society or to myself, in the discharge of this duty. I am struggling with some form of nervous disease, which disquiets and dispirits me ; and, for the cure or allevia- tion of which my physician enjoins me to be in the open air as much as possible ; and intermit, as far as I can, studious application. I find, too, that the case of j^oor Boudinot has taken such a hold on me that I cannot shake it off". There is scarcely a night in which I do not dream of him, with dreams of so vivid aird half waketuf a character, that their impression remains with me through the day. So long as he was alive, and there was any thing to be done for him, he was the object of action. Now, I find that his long illness has become the subject of thought." I wrote to him at once — a letter which I suppose he never read — to say, that though I had counted on his discharging the duty before the Historical Society, leaving me no other resjjonsibility than might providentially occur, I would certainly comply with his request ; assuring him of my j^rayers that God would soon restore him to health and duty; and inviting him to visit us at Burlington. The next tidings were that he was very ill. The next, that he was dead ! " What shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue !" But he died in the midst of usefulness. He died in the enjoyment of universal confidence and respect. * He was appoiuted to deliver the quarterly address at New Brunswick. 208 APPENDIX. He died in the satisfaction of unwearied and unbounded love. He was one in whom the spirit " o'er-informed " the flesh. He had a great heart, and its throbbings had worn out its frame. The over-working of the mind had loosed his hold on life. He sank under the shock of the acute disease which had assailed him ; and had not physical ability to rally. Though not for himself too soon, it is too soon for us. His greatness grew with him every day. The masculine vigor of his mind grappled all subjects, and could master all. His generous enthusiasm kindled the yoimg hearts that it drew to him, ■ndth its own fires. And now, in this last service of his life — it was his very last — he had developed, with all that is bravest in a man, whatever in a woman is most lovely and engaging, " Felix opportunitate mortis.'''' Of his intellectual character and attainments, of the daily beauty of his social and domestic life, of his Christian walk and conversation, others have spoken, and will speak, with fuller opportunities than I could have. Few with a fuller love. '■'• Nulli jlehiUor qunm mihi.'''' I never met with him, in private or in public, in steamboat or in stage, that we did not warm and grow together. He was a-glow with all the generous instincts of humanity. They were refined in him, and sanctified, by the " live coal," which seraphs have in hand. He combined most rarely a keen, broad, sound and manly practicalness with the loftiest and most generous enthusiasm. I have often thought, that had he not been a great Mathematician, he would have been a greater jjoet. He illustrated this in his zealous devotion to that, which, of all pursuits of men, combines the most of the practical with the best of the poetical, Gothic Architecture. It was his favorite study, and most fervent theme. He was in love with it. " You will say,'' he said to me, in his own hearty plaj-fulness, " that I have stolen your thunder I" I saw him last in Princeton. His last acts to me were acts of hospitality. His last w^ords were words of friendship. And, what I value most of all, I was among the thoughts of his last horns. " On Tuesday night," says Pro- fessor Hodge, his distinguished fellow-laborer, and faithful friend, " when we all thought him very near his end, he charged me with several messages to his absent fiiends; and said, " I have been thinking of Bishop Doane, and should like to see him, and wish him to know it." I feel that I am discharging a duty to our dei)arted friend, in conveying to you the simiile intimation that he thought of you with kindness, in the last hours of his life." None, from beyond the immediate circle in which my life is passed, have won from me a livelier interest and aftection. No message from a death-bed has come nearer to my heart, or dwells more warmly there. Into the secret places of their sorrow to whom this stroke comes nearest home, it were profane to enter. Thanks be to God for the revelation, which the ages that had wandered from Him farthest cherished as a pleasing dream, that the bolt makes sacred where it strikes ! The most endearing names to Him are those of widow and orphan. " He is a father of the fatherless, and defendeth the cause of the widows ; even God, in his holy habitation." G. w. D. Riverside, November 2"th, 1845. From a long and congenial communication that appeared in the Presbyterian we make the following extract : " Albert B. Dod was a native of Mendham, Morris county. New Jersey. He was born March 24, 1805. He received part of his education at the Mendham Academy, under the Rev. Amzi Armstrong, and at the time when the late Samuel L. Southard was a tutor there. His friendship with Mr. Southard lasted through life, and Mr. Dod hoped to prepare the biography of his dis- tinguished teacher and friend, to accompany a selection of his public speeches ALBERT B. DOD, B. D. 209 and other compositions. Mr. Dod graduated at Princeton in 1822. The next five years he spent in private teaching, chiefly, if not altogether as I believe, in Virginia. In 1 827 he returned to Princeton, entering the Theological Seminary, and at the same time serving as Tutor in the College. Upon the completion of his course at the Seminary in 1830, he was elected to the chair of Mathe- matics in the College : and within the last few years he lectured on Architec- ture and Political Economy, in addition to the instruction of his proper de- partment. In these branches he took an enthusiastic interest, and easily com- municated his enthusiasm to those who heard him lectm-e or converse about them. Few men combined so many accomplishments and capabilities as Professor Dod. As a teacher, lecturer, writer, preacher, speaker, and a leader in conversation, he greatly excelled. He was brilliant in all these qualities and oflices, and yet strong in reason and argument. " Of a poetical and imaginative temperament, and fond of metaphysical studies, yet his mind was not commonly drawn oif from substantial and prac- tical views of the variety of subjects he studied and handled. His articles in the Biblical Repertory attest this. Of these I may particularly mention his vindication of Capital Punishment in the number for April, 1842 ; on Phrenol ogy, in April, 1838 ; portions of the article on Transcendentalism in January, 1839 ; on the Elder question in April, 1844 ; and the review of " Vestiges of Creation," in the last number. The article on Capital Punishment was thought to be so conclusive a reply to the popular objections on that subject, that the entire paper was adopted by a committee of the Legislature of New York as their Report, and was, in that form, republished by the Legislature as a public document. " Mr. Dod's amiable and benevolent disposition, social manners, and fascina- ting conversation, connected with a certain softness and modesty of demeanor, excited strong affections and interest among all who knew him, however slightly ; and were qualities, that, combined with his eminent qualifications for his chair, made him highly popular with his classes. I shall not attempt to say what his domestic virtues made him to his wife, children and connec- tions. Their intense distress calls for the prayers of every true friend of his and theirs. Mr. Dod had offers of imjjortant and attractive stations — and among them the Chajjlaincy and appended Professorship of the Military Academy of West Point, but he preferred to retain his old connexions and associations at Princeton." We add the following from the Somerville Wliig : " A brilliant star has set to rise no more. But other men there are, both in and out of public notice, distinguished for talents and usefulness in the various positions they occupy. It is instructive to mark the multiform attainments, character and merits of a few individuals who in every age sustain a lofty place in the public esteem, and exert a commanding and healthful influence in society. Talents are varied. Some excel in one thing, others in another. Looking at a single point, some may attract the admiration of a multitude and be consid- ered without a rival. But the whole character, the varied acquirements, the profound learning, the social habits, the dignity, the keen penetration and the acute power of reason, which shone so conspicuously in the lamented Dr. Dod, form a combination of excellencies so extremely rare as to be worthy of special comment. " We hope that his eulogy will yet be truly spoken — that his memoirs may be made public, and that his bright example may stand out in all its promi- nence as an incentive to the youth of our country, to walk in his steps, and thus be eminently useful in this world, and, like him, suijremely happy in that which is to come." 27 310 APPENDIX. On Sunday morning (Nov. 30, 1845,) the Rev. Dr. James W. Alexander pronounced a discourse of rare beauty and excellence in the New York Duane street Presbyterian Church, from 1st Thessalonians iv : 14, in commemoration of his lamented friend and late associate in the faculty of the College of New Jersey. By request this was repeated in the 1st Presbyterian Church of Newark. Tne Newark Daily Advertiser, of Dec. 13th, contains the following report : " The general sense of bereavement which has been occasioned in this com- munity by the death of Professor Dod, was conspicuously manifest in the crowded assembly which convened in the First Church last evening. Every seat in the house was filled, and many retired for want of room. The devo- tional exercises were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Briusmade of this city, and Rev. Dr. Rice of Princeton. Nor should we omit to say that the performances of the choir were appropriate and affecting. The discourse, by the Rev. Dr. J. W. Alexander, was, as might have been expected, at once an instructive and consolatory lesson for the living, and a fit tribute to the memory of the ' loved and lost ' — his early friend, associate and colleague — such a tribute as it is in the power of few men living to offer at the shrine of genius and worth. " It has never been our privilege to listen to a more beautiful and discrimina- ting exhibition of the moral and mental attributes of a great man ; and we would be most happy here to follow the preacher in his analysis of the shining qualities, and the remarkable traits and characteristics of our friend, and transfer to our readers something of the pleasure and delight experienced by the crowded assembly which heard it, but it is not expedient ; though we entertain the hope that the author will yield to the very general desire and furnish a copy for publication in a more becoming form. " "We may here add briefly, however, that after a beautiful and consoling exposition of the Scriptural phrase " sleeping in Jesus," included in the text, the preacher turned to the more immediate subject of the discourse, and reviewed at length the history, services and characteristics of his friend. Of his intellectual powers he almost feared to sjieak, lest he might seem to use the language of exaggeration. But he did not hesitate to challenge any one of his friends or correspondents to express a doubt of lus great and surpassing powers. " His excursions into every field of human research were extensive and profound : there were few subjects, and no science or art with which he was not more or less familiar, and aside from the abstract science, which it was his special vocation to teach, he may be said to have mastered the whole subject of moral philosophy. With an ardent desire to search out all the hidden depths of the profoundest questions, the fable of the Sphinx was almost realized, in his bold and daring responses to the most difficult problems in morals and religion. Due notice was made of the power and beauty of his written style, and of his rare and almost marvellous ability as a teacher. " As a conversational debater he had no rival ; always calm, even in the most critical moments of controversy, so that no recollections of his intellectual character are more agreeable than his exhibitions in the social debate with an able antagonist. His friends wondered how he could keep abreast of the literature of the age. He was fond of Poetry, and believed that Philosophy and Poetry should be united in marriage by religion. Speaking of his social qualities, it was well added, that his house was not large enough for hia hospitality, and that at his table was ever the feast of reason and the pleasures of cheerfulness and joy. As a friend he realized whatever romance has thrown of attraction around that character. How public affection gathered around ALBERT B. DOB, D.D. 211 him is evident from the general grief expressed for his loss, particularly throughout his native State. He was sick but a week, and soon after his attack saw that he must die. His reason was generally unclouded. His simple trust was in Christ, and Avhen the Scriptures were read to him he devoutly responded to their promises, and said he knew and felt their truth. He attend- ed with his usual order to all his concerns, neglecting no friend in his messages of love. A delicate, deeply touching reference was made to the parting scenes with his family, but over these the speaker did not feel authorized to dwell, for they were sacred. It will be truly inferred from this rapid survey that the jDlace made vacant by the departure of such a man cannot be filled. We repeat the hope that the discourse will be given to his friends and the public through the press." We close this compilation of commemorative notices and excerpts by the following communication from the Rev. Charles Hodge, D. D., Professor in the Theological Seminary at Princeton, which appears in " The Annals of the American Pulpit," edited by William B. Sprague, D. D., Vol. IV, page 739 : Princeton, February 21, 1855. Rev. and dear Sir : The Rev. Albert B. Dod w^as appointed Professor of Mathematics in the College of New Jersey, in April, 1830, and from that time, until the day of his death, in November, 1845, I was in the habit of intimate and constant intercourse with him. He was rather above the ordinary standard in height ; somewhat inclined to stoop ; rather square shouldered ; but active and graceful in his movements and carriage. His head was unusally large ; his forehead broad, but not high ; his eyebrows massive and projecting; his eyes hazel, brilliant and deep seated ; his countenance intellectual and pleasing. His disposition was very cheerful and amiable, which rendered him, w' ith his extraordinary conversational powers, peculiarly agreeable as a companion. His reputation as a talker threatened, at one time, to eclipse his fame in higher departments. But this was only the sparkling of a really deej) and rapidly moving stream. He had a taste for literature and the fine arts, and considerable fertility of imagination, and was, I think, disposed to estimate these gifts at a higher value than his more solid mental qualities. To me it always appeared that his understanding, his power of clear and quick discernment, of analysis and lucid statement, and of logical deduction, was the leading power of his mind, to which his reputation and usefulness were mainly due. It was this that gave him his success and power as a teacher. There was nothing he could not make plain. Provided his pupils had the requisite pre- liminary knowledge, he rendered the most abstruse departments of Mathe- matics so clear, that his students became enthusiastic in their admiration of himself, and in their love for the science. It was his delight to unfold the rationale of all the jjrocesses of his department, and to elevate his puj^ils to the study of the philosoiihy of every subject which he taught. He was, therefore, most successful with the more intelligent class of students ; with the dull, as he had no fellow- feeling, he was prone to have too little patience. This mastery of his subject, and this superiority of mtellect, made him ex- ceedingly jjopular as an instructor. When, on one occasion, he attended the annual examination of the Cadets at West Point, as a visitor, he evinced so clearly these powers of mind, that the Cadets and Professors united in an application to the Government for his api^ointment as Chaplain and Professor of Moral Philosophy. This incident shows how striking was the exhibition of talent, which any suitable occasion was certain to call forth. 313 APPENDIX. To this clearness and discrimination of mind is also to be referred his fond- ness for metai^hysics, aiid his skill in the discussion of subjects connected with that department. Those of his writings which excited general attention, are on topics of this character. Reference may be made to the able articles in the Princeton Review, jjroceeding from his pen, in illustration and confirmation of his peculiar talents for iihilosophical discussion. His mind was always on the alert, and teeming with thoughts and suggestions. It was a common thing for him, when he entered my study, to say, — " I was thinking, as I came along, of such or such a question," — announcing some problem in mental or moral science. Indeed I do not know that I ever was acquainted vnth. a man, who so constantly suggested important topics of conversation, or kept the minds of his friends more on the stretch. His consciousness of power in debate, no doubt, contributed to the formation of this habit ; for the pleasure of discus- sion was in his case so gi'eat, that he would often start paradoxical ojjinions, either for the sake of surprising his hearers, or exercising his skill in defending them. The talent to which I have refeiTed was conspicuously displayed in all public assemblies. Had his life been sjjared, I doubt not he would soon have estab- lished for himself the rei^utation of one of the ablest debaters in our Church. His best and most effective sermons are distinguished by the same character of mind. He undervalued, at least at one part of his life, emotional preaching. He did not seem to estimate aright how great and how pemianent a good was effected by any preacher who calls into lively exercise the devotional feelings of his audience. Professor Dod aimed rather to lodge in the understanding some fundamental principle of truth or duty, which should become part of the governing convictions of the mind. He was accustomed to say that if he could make his hearers see that they are responsible for their faith, or that expediency is not the rule of right, or that things unseen are more real and powerful than the things that are seen, or some such general truth, he would do them far greater service than by any excitement of their feelings. His sermons were generally constructed on that j^rinciple ; and many of them are of permanent value. His voice was melodious, and his delivery free and untrammelled by his notes, which were generally written out in full. Though his preaching, in the later years of his life, was generally addressed more to the understanding than to the affections, yet he had great emotional power, and could, when roused himself, control in an uncommon degree the feelings of his audience. Professor Dod has now been dead more than nine years. I have not yet ceased to mourn for his departure as a personal loss. I regarded him as one of the most gifted men of our Church. His having chosen an academical instead of a pastoral career kept him in a measure aloof from our Ecclesiastical Courts, and turned his attention rather to Science than to Theology. But I have a strong conviction that he had in him rich stores of undeveloped resources, which, had it pleased God to prolong his life, would have rendered him one of the most eminent and useful ministers of our Church.
