II52 Authoris Preface THIS work has been compiled at the instigation of John Spafford Field, of this city, who for several years hasbeen greatly inter ested in the genealogy of his family. While securing the data of his particular line, much valuable historical information was obtained of other lines. On this account it was decided to continue the investiga tions in England, which had been so carefully pursued by the late Osgood Field, of Rome, Italy. With his assistance and that of others whom he employed, very full and careful search was made in Great Britain. All the emigrant ancestors were connected, and instead of pub lishing the work in one volume, it has been found imperative to make two of just twice the size originally planned. The individuals in this work can take pride in the fact that many prominent men belong to the family, who have occupied high positions in the world, and have achieved enviable reputations for integrity and ability from the time of their illustrious ancestor, who computed the Copernican system in the isle across the sea. The work is the most complete of the score I have published, and I take this opportunity to most cordially thank all those who have so kindly lent their assistance and aid. A number of abbreviations will be found in the book, of which the following are explanations: ae., aged; abt., about; dau., daughter; dec'd., deceased; res., resided, resides, or residence; w., wife; wid., widow or widower; yr., year; n. f. k., nothing further known; s. p., sine prole (without issue). There are a number of other abbreviations of such common use that the meaning will be obvious. A name in parentheses thus, Anna Field, daughter of Nathaniel and Mary (Pierce) Field, indicates the maiden name of the mother. An inter rogation mark implies doubt or want of absolute certainty. The 7 birthplace of the children are not always given, but they can be ascer tained by reference to the residence of the parents, which is given in all cases. I have been greatly aided and assisted in my work of compilation by the Field manuscript in the library of the Historical Society at Deerfield, Mass. ; by the pamphlet issued by Mrs. Harriet A. Brownell, of Providence, relating to the Rhode Island branch; by the pamphlet on Rev. Timothy Field and his descendants by Rev. Henry Martyn Field, of Stockbridge, Mass., and last, and by no means least, the work of the late Osgood Field, of Rome, Italy. From the Curator's Report of the Deerfield Historical Society for February, 1883, I quote: "We have received a volume which no library in the land can match. It is from Rodney Burt Field, of Guilford, Vt., and contains the results of many years' labor in col lecting a genealogy of the descendants of Zechariah Field, who came to the Connecticut Valley in 1639. This volume is a thick quarto, elegantly bound, and contains the record of the birth of more than three thousand members of the family, all in his peculiarly neat hand writing. It is presented on the condition that it is not to be taken on any consideration from Memorial Hall. No one shall be allowed to copy from it without permission of Hon. George Sheldon, the presi dent, or secretary of the association. Should this work be the means of stimulating some one to collect and publish a more full history and genealogy of the family, they are permitted to make such use of the whole as may be necessary for them to use, under the foregoing reg ulations. ' ' It is under the last clause of the above that I was allowed to make a copy of the work under conditions agreed upon. The publication of the book has been delayed somewhat by its magnitude. I trust the family will take as much pleasure in perusing its pages as I have'enjoyed in compiling the same. Very truly. ¦Chicago, March i, igoi EARLY HISTORY OF THE FIELD FAMILY. THE name of Field is an ancient and honorable one in England, and can be traced far back of the Conquest. Probably not a dozen families in England can prove so high an antiquity. The family name of Field is one of sev eral, such as Wood, Hill, etc., derived from locality. Persons with corres ponding patronymics maybe found in every ci'vilized country. The v7ord originally signified land on which the timber had been felled, as distinguished from 'woodland. It is evident from the nature of its origin that there are many families of that name, related to each other, from having two common ancestors. It was anciently written De la Feld, or De la Felde, as was also the noui> from which the name was derived ; but about the middle of the fourteenth century the spelling of both was changed to Field, or, in some cases, Feild. We find, for instance, in the early edi tions of the Bible the well known words printed thus, "consider the lilies of the feld." The fact of the name being hereditary in the family to which this book relates as early as the middle of the tenth century, and probably at a still more remote period, indicates a so-called Norman origin. Freeman says in his history of the Norman Conquest that there is no well ascer tained case of a strictly hereditary surname in England before the Conquest, and that they were a novelty at that time in Normandy, where the custom was taking root. After the Conquest there were instances of hereditary names in England, among the Norman families especially, if not confined to them. With these few exceptions, hereditary surnames did not come into use here till about the middle of the fourteenth century. Burke states in one edition of his "Landed Gentry," under the head of De la Field, that this family was originally in Alsace, near the Vosges Mountains, where it was seated at the Chateau de la Feld, near Colmar, from the darkest period of the middle ages; that the Counts de la Feld were the once powerful proprietors of the demesnes and castles near Colmar, of which the latter still bears their name. These Lords had large possessions in Alsace and Lorraine, and are frequently men tioned in the wars of those countries. The Croix d'Or of La Feld, their ancient badge, is still the coat armor of the Delafields. Hubertus de la Feld was the first of his race that emigrated to England. He went over with the crowd of foreigners who attended the Conqueror hither, his name appearing enrolled as the owner of lands in the County of Lancaster in 1069, the 3rd of William I. Burke also states that others of the name were proprietors of land in the same county in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and were descendants of Sir Hurbert- us. We have no authentic record of the companions of the Conqueror, and it is generally admitted by competent genealogists that the "roll of Battle Abbey" is imperfect, and has been tampered with.f It does not, therefore, help us in this matter. Burke is not always reliable, and when the writer* wrote to him for his authority for the statements in his book, he replied that he had forgotten where he found them, or from whom he had received them. The writer has not often met with the name in England prior to the middle of the thirteenth century. In the great roll of the Pipe there is mention of a Hugo de la Felde under the head of the tAnother account says the names of the Knights who came over with William to England are engraved on a tablet in a ohurch at Falaise in France, the birthplace of William. ?Osgood Field. 10 FIELD GENEALOGY. Counties of Bucks and Beds, in the ist of Richard I. (1189). A little later in the 3rd of John (1201), the following entry occurs in the "Rotuli de Oblatis" : "Y k J ^^^ ^™S to all, etc. Know ye that Hugh de Stueton to whom at first we °'^ I wrote for his daughter for Richard de la Felda, and afterwards for Robert de Carduel, has offered us 100 marks of silver that his daughter may freely mairy whom she pleases, and also offers to give us more if we are not contented with this, and, therefore, we command you if the same Robert would give us only so much as we can have from others, we will that he may have that marriage and that you cause him to have the aforesaid daughter of the same Hugh without delay." This extract affords a curious picture of the manner in which the hands of high born ladies were disposed of by the sovereign at that time. As stated previously, the ancestor of the Field family, the first of whom there is any record, was Hubertus de la Feld, who went to England ¦with William the Conqueror in the year 1066 from near Colmar in Alsace, on the German border of France. He was of the family of the Counts de la Feld, who trace back to the darkest period of the middle ages, about the sixth century. In Alsace the De la Felds entertained in the eleventh century Pope Leo IX. and his Court on the way to consecrate the Cathedral of Strasburgh. The edifice received many benefactions at their hands, and several of them are interred there in the chanteries they founded. Hubertus de la Feld received of William the Conqueror large grants of land for military service. In the fourteenth century, in consequence of wars between England and France, the English De la Fields dropped their French prefix De La and ever after wrote their name Field. As previously stated, Sir Hubertus, the first in England, settled in Lancaster, near the city of Chester, and from him descended the family in this volume. Colmar, or Kolmar, Germany, formerly in France, where the Field family is said to have had its origin, is the capital of the imperial German district Ober-Elsass, situated on the Lauch River, and not far from the 111 River, connected 'with Rhine- Rhone Canal by a small auxiliary canal, one hundred and ninety-three metres above sea level. It is an old town with narrow and winding streets. The ancient fortifi cations have been made into beautiful promenades. A new portion has grown up around the railway station, where also are located the beautiful district hall or pre fecture (official residence), the water tower, the Field of Mars, and statues of Gen eral Rapp and Admiral Bruat, both natives of Colmar. Besides these are to be mentioned: The Minster or Catholic parish-church of St. Martin (thirteenth or fourteenth century), with its two steeples, one unfinished, its magnificent portals and the famous picture Maria in Rosenhag by M. Schongauer, who was a resident of Colmar; the Protestant church, the old Dominican monastery, built A. D. 1232- 1289, containing excellent collections, i. e., public library, artistic, archaeological, ethnographic, and natural history museums. Also a .statue of Schongauer and one of the poet PfefEel, the old Dominican church, the ancient market house, the impe rial and district court-houses, the synagogue, etc. The population in 1899, includ ing garrison of one regiment and three battalions, was over 30,399. The industries are varied and considerable wool and cotton weaving and spinning, silk cloth, twine, jute, thread, starch, sugar, breadstuffs, wagons and machinery, iron work, dyeing, brewing, etc. Commerce is regulated and supported by a bourse and a branch of the imperial bank. Colmar is the center point of numerous railway lines. Educational institutions: one lyceum, two normal seminaries, a theological semi nary, a rabbinical school, an institute for midwives, and a society for preserving art collections of the city. Colmar is the seat of the district government, the circuit and supreme court of Alsace-Lorraine, a local court, the staff of the twenty-ninth ^ -a -fcsiy" CoLMARIA ClVlTAi' TmPERIALI.S^. A.

He was descended from Sir Hubertus De la Feld and the head of the family which settled in Lancaster and Kent counties, England. Res. Sowerby, England. 2. I. RICHARD, b. about 1276; m. . 3. ii. THOMAS, b. about 1278 ; m. . 2. RICHARD DE FELD (Roger), b. about 1276, in Sowerby, England; m. . The existing rolls of Wakefield Manor commence in 1284, but are very imperfect until 1306. A roll endorsed 1272 and called first roll, is a mistake for first of Edward II., and, therefore, 1307. The first entry in them relating to the Field family is in 1306, and refers to a suit of Richard del Feld, of Sowerby, against Robert, son of William de Saltonstall. In 1308 Richard de Feld served as a juror, being described in the entry as son of Roger del Feld. Throughout the part of the Wakefield rolls referred to in this book the name is written "ffeld." These two small letters then stood for the capital one, which we now use. Osgood Field says, "very probably Richard and Thomas were brothers." Res. Sowerby, England. 4. i. ADAM, b. 1299; m. . 3. THOMAS DEL FELD (Roger), b. Sowerby, England, about 1278; m. . He was of Sowerby, a juror in 1307. Named in the Wakefield rolls in 1314, and also in 1322, when he was at "Halifax Court." Res. Sowerby, England. 5. i. JOHN, b. 1300; m. . 6. ii. ADAM, b. . He was ot Sowerby. Named in the rolls in 1349, and then called "son of Thomas de Feld." Mentioned again in 1393- 4. ADAM DEL FELD (Richard, Roger), b. Sowerby, England, 1299; m. . In 1333 the name of Adam del Feld appears in the Wakefield Manor rolls, and in 1336 he is spoken of as holding a house and twelve acres in Sowerby, when he was called a son of Richard del Feld. This Adam is mentioned in these rolls several times in the next fourteen years, and in 1349 he was elected greave ot Sowerby. This was the chief ofBcer of a graveship. He died shortly after, for the entry in 1350 states that he died 1349-50. Res. Sowerby, England. 7. i. THOMAS, JR., b. 1329; m. Matilda . 5. JOHN DEL FELD (Thomas. Roger), b. Sowerby. England, 1300; m. He was named in the Wakefield Manor rolls in 1326, 1334 and in 1336, when he had land at Sowerby. Called "son of Thomas del Feld." Res. Sowerby, England. 8. i. THOMAS, JR., b. 1330; m. Annabelle . 7. THOMAS DEL FELD. JR. (Adam, Richard, Roger), b. Sowerby, Eng land, 1329; m. Matilda . He paid beriot in 1350 on a house and twelve acres at Sowerby, "after the death of Adam, his father." He had a dispute in 1357 with Richard de Leighrod. In 1361 he surrendered to the lord a house and sixteen acres at Sowerby, and took back the same with "Matilda, his wife," paying ingress. In 1370 Isabella, daughter of Richard de Leghrode, deceased, took land from him. Referred to in the rolls in 1384, and in 1391. Thomas del Feld paid heriot on a house and twelve acres in Sowerby "after 66 FIELD GENEALOGY. 67 9- 1. IO. 11. II. iii. 12. IV. the death of his father, Adam." Heriot is a fine or tax paid to the lord of a manor by a person when inheriting property in it. About the same time there was another Adam del Feld at Sowerby, who is named in the rolls in 1349, and called then "son of Thomas del Feld." Whether he is the Adam mentioned in them in 1393 the writer is unable to state. There were also two Thomas del Felds at Sowerby who were contemporaneous, and often dis tinguished in the rolls as senior and junior, but not always so. The land ceded to Isabella de Leghrode in 1370 was called "Todehoile." In 1369 Thomas del Feld surrendered, and John, son of William Milner, took the half of a house and land described as "the Langeroide, in Sowerby in West- felde. In the following year this same Thomas ceded a piece of land in Ribbums- dene (Ripponden) to Henry Pigle. He is probably the "Thomas Feld" who together with his wife is assessed in the Lay subsidy roll for the West Riding of Yorkshire, under the head of "Sowerby" in the second of Richard III. (1378-79). Res. Sowerby, England. JOHN, b. 1359; m. . RICHARD, b. ; m. . AGNES, b. ; d. unm. before 1397. ALICE, b. . She paid henot on fifteen acres and one-half a house in Sowerby "after the death of her sister, Agnes," in 1397. It is supposed that this estate was owned jointly by the two sisters, and that it is the same one which was in possession of Thomas, Jr. and his wife, Matilda, in 1361, from whom it passed to their son John, and was inherited from him in 1393 by his brother Richard, who was the brother of these ladies. This is all the more probable, as we find an entry in 150B, that this property had been in posses sion of William Felde, who was the nephew of Alice and Agnes, and the property was then conveyed to the use of his widow. 8. THOMAS DEL FELD (John, Thomas, Roger), b. Sowerby, England, 1330; m. Annabelle . He was named in the rolls in 1364 and was elected this year to supervise the "agistment and pannage." Constable of Sowerby in 1365, and gfreave there in 1370. He hired Sowerby mill in 1380 with Thomas de Helilee, and was a special juror in 1384. In 1370 he took a piece of land of Thomas Wade, in "Dfidewyf erode," and I think later went to Bradford. The name of Thomas del Feld occurs frequently in the Wakefield rolls between 1348 and 1391, without the addition of senior or junior, so that it is impossible to say which one is referred to in these entries. Both senior and junior are mentioned in 1384, after which date there is but one entry, in 1391, when the name is simply Thomas del Feld. Probably both senior and junior died about this time. Others of the family mentioned in the lifetime of the two Thomases who cannot be placed with certainty, are Elena del Feld, in 1329 and in 1333, and Margaret, who paid heriot in 1357 on a cottage and land in Sowerby, "after the death of John Tomson, her uncle." She is called daughter of Thomas del Feld, but ot which I am unable to state. He d. about 1391. Res. Sowerby and Bradford, England. 13. i. THOMAS, b. 1360; m. Isabel . 9. JOHN DEL FELD (Thomas, Adam, Richard, Roger), b. Sowerby, Eng land, 1359 ; m. . He may have been the eldest son — but I think not He had had possession at one time of the house and sixteen acres at Sowerby, which belonged to his father. He d. about 1393. Res. Sowerby, England. 14. i. JOHN, b. 1383 ; m. . 68 FIELD GENEALOGY. IOi RICHARD DEL FELD (Thomas, Adam, Richard, Roger), b. Sowerby, England ; m. . Richard del Feld is referred to in the rolls no less than twentyrthree times between 1393 and 1454 inclusive. He must have lived to a good old age, and died about the last date. It was during Richard's lifetime that the prefix "del" was dropped from the family name — the wars with France having made such adjuncts unpopular. The single name of Feld appears in 1412 in the rolls for the first time. After that date it is sometimes preceded by "del," and occasionally by "de" until 1446, which is the latest time at which we meet with either of these in the records referred to. Richard Feld was chosen greave of Sowerby in 1423 and 1428. Probably the deed of 1454 to his sons was executed by him in anticipation of his immediate death. He d. about 1454. Res. Sowerby, England. 15. i. ROBERT, b. . In 1427 and 1428 the name of Robert Feld occurs in the rolls, and in the entry of the latter year he is called "son of Richard." Quite likely he was the same Robert Feld who was elected constable of Warley in 1433, as this place is only two or three miles from Sowerby. He had a son Richard, to whom his grandfather of the same name gave, in 1454, the remainder to a house and twenty-three acres "between Feldhouseloyne (Fieldhouse lane) on the highway of Ribbornedeyne on the south," which was then conveyed to the use of his uncle William for twenty-four years. 16. ii.

All these were of the same family originally, as the Fields, of Sowerby. Most of the places referred to were within a radius of ten or fifteen miles of that place. The first one mentioned in the Wakefield rolls at any of these localities was John Feld, of Normanton, who is referred to in 1412, and was no doubt the progenitor of those of the family who were residing near a little later.

This last immediately re-conveyed the estate to his father Rich ard tor life. John had a son Hugh, John was the first mentioned ot the three brothers in 1440, and was again mentioned in 1443.

CHRISTOPHER FELD (John, Richard, Thomas, Adam, Richard, Roger), b. Sowerby, England ; m. . In 1468 Christopher, son of John Felde, gave heriot on a house and twenty-three acres, between Dedewyfeclogh and Feldehouse- loyne, after the death of his father, John. He immediately surrendered the same to the use of John, his brother, and to Elena, Isabella, Agnes and Johne (Joan), their sisters, for twelve years. In 147 1 Margaret de Felde, at the Overfeldhouse, was fined for encroaching on the waste. The fact of there being a Field House lane in 1440 implies the existence at that time of a Field house, while this last entry shows that there were at the date of it — 14 71 — two buildings of that name, an upper and a lower Field house. The latter is referred to in 1500, when there was a conveyance of land to Christopher Field between Feldhousloyne, the land of Christopher Feld and Netherfeldhous. Probably one of these is the edifice referred to hereafter. 70 FIELD GENEALOGY. which was pulled down in the early part of this century. Christopher Felde, who paid heriot in 1468, was elected greave of Sowerby in 1487. He is named in the rolls in 1494 and 1500, and was dead in 1509, when John, described as son of Chris topher Felde, Sowerby, paid heriot for house and twenty-three and one-half acres between Dedewyfeclough and Feldehousloyne after the death of Christopher, his father.

Thomas, in 1492, took the waste land lying near a road in Sowerby, called Feldhousloyne, when he is described as son of Christopher Felde, and in 1494 he again took similar land. At this time there was much uncultivated land in England, which was called waste. His name does not occur after this until 1527, when he surrendered a tract of land "taken from the waste by the said Thomas," and he made a like surrender in 1530. He was dead in 1534. as appears by an entry in that year, when George Boethes and others sur render a house and land to the use of Margaret widow of Thomas Feld. He was dead in 1534. Res.

In 1520 he paid heriot on four and one-half acres formerly taken from the waste atter the decease of John, his father. This is a smaller estate than his brother John inherited, probably because he was the eldest. In 1531 the last named John Feld gave Christopher half the rent of the house and twenty-three acres, which had been leased in 1529 to Henry Perror, describing his brother as his lawful heir. In 1539 Christopher surrendered the reversion, after his death, of half the rent of this house and land, to the use of John, son of Jacobus (James) Feld, which two were at this time Christopher's heirs. In the same year he gave heriot on land after the death ot Elizabeth, his sister., i. e., sister-in-law. Up to the last date the Wakefield manor rolls have been almost the exclusive source of information relating to the family. The wills recorded hitherto have been few and far between, but at this time are becoming more frequent, and in 1538 parish registers began. Fortunately those of Halifax church exist from the beginning, which can be said of very few. One of the earliest entries in the register records the marriage of Christopher Fyld and Grace Gradeheighe in 1540. In the manor rolls there is an entry in 1554 of the sur render by Christopher Feld of two parts of four and one-half acres to the use of William, Alice and Elizabeth, his children. The name of the last was not found among extracts of baptisms from the Halifax registers, but as the entries are some times illegible, it may have been overlooked. This conveyance was probably made by Christopher in anticipation of his death, for in the same year — 1554 — his eldest son, Edward Felde, paid heriot. Res. Halifax Parish and Sowerby, England.

Elizabeth ; d. s. p. in 1534. In 1529 there was a proclamation concerning John Feld's land, formerly Christopher Feld's, and in the same year this John leased the house and twenty-three acres in Sowerby, between Dedewyfeclogh and Feldhousloyne, to Henry Ferror. In 1531 John Feld gave half the rent from Ferror for this property to Elizabeth, his wife, for life, and the other half to Christopher Felde, his lawful heir. This same Christopher paid heriot on land in 1534, after the death of Elizabeth, his sister, i. e., sister-in-law. From this it will be evident that John Feld must have been the son, and in all probability the eldest, of the person of the same name who was dead in 1520, and therefore the brother of Christopher, who paid heriot in this year, after the decease of John, his father. This is evident not only because we find the John we are referring to in possession, m 1529 and 1531, of the house and twenty-three acres, which Richard Feld surrendered to his son John in 1440, and which descended through him to the first Christopher in 1468, and then to his son John in 1509, but 46. 1. 47- u. 48. 111. 49.

The presumption is that her husband was also dead then and that they died childless. He was dead in 1534. Res., s. p., Sowerby, England. 40. JAMES FELD (John, Christopher, John, Richard, Thomas, Adam, Rich- ard, Roger), b. Sowerby, England ; m. . A Jacobus (James) Feld took of the waste in 1514, and he and Christopher are named together in the rolls in 1530. In 1534 this James surrendered land to John, Edward and Robert, his sons. Prob ably James was a brother of John and Christopher, and this is the more likely inas much as an entry in 1539 says that the last named surrendered the reversion to half the rent of the twenty-three acres leased to Henry Ferror in 1529 to the use of John, son of Jacobus (James) Feld.

ROBERT FELDE (John, Christopher, John, Richard, Thomas, Adam, Richard, Roger), b. 1460 ; m. Agnes . The villages of Crofton and Sandal adjoin. They are both in the manor of Wakefield, and some two or three miles from the town of that name. About the same distance northeast of Crofton is Normanton, where John Feld was residing from 1412 to 1423. Between these two places lies the parish of Warmfield, in which another John Feld was living in 1514-15, at a place called Sharlston, in Warmfield. A very few years later we find persons of the name at Crofton and Sandal, which looks as if the descendants of John, of Normanton, had spread themselves to these two villages through the intervening parish of Warmfield. Before proceeding further the author would say that at Sandal stood the famous castle of that name, which was the chief seat of the manor from an early period, and often the abode of royalty. During the civil wars it was besieged and captured by the Parliamentary forces in 1645, and destroyed shortly after, so that only its ruins remain. At the period of which the auther is writing Sandal was a more important place than Crofton, and it is not improbable that residents of the latter and neighborhood should be sometimes described as "of Sandal." It is, therefore, unlikely that the Robert, of the manor rolls, and he of the subsidy roll, were not the same individual, but father and son. As we get on a difficulty arises in tracing the relationship of the different members of this branch of the family, from the frequent occurrence of this name and that of Christopher, and the author would remark here, that both of these were very common about this time among the Fields of Sowerby. ' In the Wakefield manor rolls, under the head of Sandal, there is a reference in 1520 to lands formerly in the tenure of Robert Felde and Agnes, his wife; and in the subsidy roll of the fifteenth Henry VII. (1523-4) "Robert Feylde" and "William Feylde" are assessed under the head of Crofton. He d. before 1520. Res. Sandal, England. 56. i. ROBERT, b. ; m. . 57- ii. WILLIAM, b. ; m. . 58. iii.

Ardislawe, England. John Felde has been styled "the proto-Copernican ot England, inasmuch as he was the first to make known in that country by his writings the discoveries of this remarkable man, who delayed for a long time the publication of his famous work, "De Orbium Coelestium Revolutionibus," on account of the opposition and perse cution to be feared from persons who considered its teachings opposed to those of the Bible. Although completed in 1530, it was not printed till 1543, when its author was on his death-bed. Works based on the new system (which revolutionized the science of astronomy) by Rheticus and Reinhold had appeared in Germany a few years earlier, but the "Ephemeris" of John Field for 1557 which was published in that year, was the first opportunity afforded the people of England of becoming acquainted with the true motions of the heavenly bodies. In the following year he issued a similar work, calculated for 1558, 1559, 1560. Probably these were not his only publications, but no others have come down to us, and only two copies of these are known to exist, the British Museum and Bodleian Library, at Oxford, each possessing both works. John Field was born probably between 15 10 and 1520. It could not have been much after the last date, as he was co-executor of his father's will in 1542. Wood, the historian of Oxford University, claims that he belonged to that sect of learning, which is not improbable, as his writings show that he had received a good classical education. It has been impossible to find anything of him anywhere from the date of his father's will, 1542, to the publication of his first "Ephemeris," 1557, when he was residing in London, where he may have and quite likely did pass the fourteen years intervening. A portion of the time he, not improbably, spent abroad, and no doubt acquired in Germany his knowledge of, and zeal for, the new theories, which he promulgated afterward in his native land. By a patent, dated Sept. 4, 1558, the heralds formerly recognized his right to the family arms ; Sable, a chevron between three garbs argent, and at the same time they granted to him the following crest: A dexter arm issuing out of clouds fesseways proper, habited gules, holding in the hand, also proper, a sphere or. This appropriate crest may be considered a recognition of his services to the cause of astronomy. We assume that it was about 1560 that he married Jane, daughter of John Amyas, ot Kent, as she is described in the Herald's visitation of Yorkshire in I884-85. Mr. Hunter in an article referred to elsewhere, says that he had searched in vain for genealogical information in Kent without discovering anything of this lady, or her family. This failure is easily explained by the fact that the Amyas was not a Kentish, but a Yorkshire name. The family had been seated in the immediate neighborhood of Ardsley from aTearly date. In all probability John Amyas removed from there to Kent, and possibly his wife's family belonged to that county. As far back as the first of Edward 1. the tolls ot Wakefield manor were let to John de Amyas for ;f 100 a year. His daughter, Matilda, married John Water- ton, of Walton, whose family has been for centuries one of the most distinguished of that neighborhood. The Amyas's were seated for generations at Sandal, Har- bury and Thornhill, all of which are within half a dozen miles of East Ardsley, where John Field resided. There is no question but he chose a wife among his 74 FIELD GENEALOGY. neighbors and friends. On Oct. 29, 1481, the rector of Methley had license to marry John Amias, of Thornhill, and Margaret Medley. Robert Amyas was instituted vicar of Peniston, May 24, 1498. Hunter, the historian of South Yorkshire, says that he was of the Sandal family. There are two shields carved at the end of stalls in Sandal church — one with the Percy arms impaling first and fourth Frost and second and third Amyas — the last coat being on a bend three roses. The other has also the Percy arms impaling Amyas. Above is the inscription "Orate pro bono statu Joselyng Pyrcy Armegery." Joselyn Percy was fourth son of the fourth Earl of Northumberland, and mar ried Margaret, only child of William Frost, of Beverly and Featherston. This lady inherited from her father lands in Sandal and elsewhere. Jocelyn Percy died in 1532, and his father-in-law, Frost, in 1529. We learn by the inquisition post mor tem on this Jocelyn, held at Wakefield, the year of his death, that Frost's wife was Ann Ranson. She was probably the second one, and the first, and mother of Mar garet an Amyas. The parish registers of Roystone, which is some five miles south of Sandal, began in 1558. There are several entries in the earlier part which relate to persons by the name of Amyas, as, for instance, the burial of Elizabeth Amyas in 1569, and the baptism of "Beatris" Amyas in 1585. Probably John Field returned to East Ardsley not long after his marriage. We find him there at the time of the Herald's visitation of Yorkshire, in 1584-5, when he recorded the names ot his wife and children, but for some reason, which the writer cannot explain, did not g^ve the names of his ancestors, not even that of his father. John Field, of East Ardsley, co-executor of his father's will, had the family arms confirmed, and a crest granted to him Sept. 4, 1558. The Herald's visitation ot Yorkshire, 1585, records'the names ot himself, wife and children. His will, dated Dec. 28, 1586, was proved May 3, 1587. Jane, daughter of John Amyas, of Kent, executrix of her husband's will. Her own is dated July 17, 1609. Buried at East Ardsley, Aug. 3, 1609. Although John Field was one of the most distinguished pioneers in the cause of science of whom England can boast, his memory has been almost entirely and unjustly neglected by his countrymen, and even in astronomical circles his is hardly, or not at all known. For further information in relation to him the reader is referred to Gentleman's Magazine, May, 1834, to an article by Rev. Joseph Hun ter, and November, 1862, to an article by'^Osgood Field.

Desires to be buried in the south side ot Bradford church. His widow was executrix ot his will. She was buried at Bradford, Oct. 28, 1599. Thomas Feilde, of Shipley, in his will, dated Jan. 14, 1572-73, desires to be buried in the south side of the church of Bradford. He bequeaths to his wife, Anne, for life, the farmhold where he dwells, also two new mills and a farmhold occupied by Richard Lillie. After her death these properties and a tenement to go to daughter, Frances Feilde, or if she die without heirs, to brother William, to whom he leaves two tenements in Great Horton, one of which is in the occupation of Percival Feild. His father, John Feilde, is one ot his executors. The writer is unable with certainty to connect this Thomas with the pedigree, but thinks it is not impossible that his brother William was the father of the eleven children, of whom Edward is the first named. The "widow Feilde, of Shipley," who was buried at Bradford, Oct. 28, 1599, was, he supposes, wife ot Thomas. 71. i. FRANCES, b. .

Jenet was named in her husband's will. She was buried in Brad ford church June 14, 1612. William Feild, of Great Horton. made his will March 3, 1598-9, and names in it his wife, Jenet, and "younger children," Frances, Marie, Alice and Thomas, each of whom was to receive successively the rents of his lands on Bradfordshire until they had got their respective portions. There was an elder child, John, as shown hereafter, and perhaps others. His burial is entered as follows in the Brad ford church registers : "1599, May 23rd, William Feilde of Horton." There is a later entry on June 14, 1512, of the burial of "widow Feild ot Horton in ths church," which probably refers to his wife. This William may have been the brother of that name whom Thomas Feilde refers to in his will in 1572-3 ; although it is strange, in that case, that the former should have named but three of the eleven children at the beginning of the pedigree, when he executed a similar document in 1598-9; but it must not be overlooked that these three, Marie, Alice and Thomas, are mentioned both at the head of the pedigree and in William's will. We find a reference to the last named a little later. On September 2d, forty-third Elizabeth (1601), an inquisition post mortem was held at Shipton after the death of William Feilde, of Great Horton, yeoman, who died May 23d, forty-first Elizabeth (1599). It was found that he has houses and lands in Great Horton and in Bradford, and that his son, John, aged fif ty years and more, was his heir. He d. May, 1599. Res.

WILLIAM FIELD (Christopher, John, Christopher, John, Richard, Thomas, Adam, Richard, Roger), bap. Halifax Parish, Sowerby, England, 1548; m. June i, 1591, Susan Midgley, of Northowram. She d. March 6, 1623. Hed. July 24, 1619. Res. Sowerby and Northowram, England. He was baptized in Halifax parish, Sowerby, England, and married in Halifax church, as is recorded in its registers. His wife, Susan Midgley, was baptized there in 1574, when she is called daughter ot John Midgley, of Northowram. She belonged to. an old family of that neighborhood — the Midgleys, of Midgley — whose arms sable, two bars gemelle or, on a chief of the second three caltrops of the first, were painted on the roof of Halifax church, together with those of the principal families who attended service there. The residents of Sowerby worshiped at their own chapel. William Field removed from Sowerby to Southowram within a year or two of 1593, and we find a confirmation of this in the Wakefield rolls which show that Grace, daughter of Richard Barestow, surrendered in 1594 lands in Northowram to William Feild of Southowram. This deed is also mentioned, under the same year, in the dockets at Wakefield. Shortly after purchasing this property, in Northowram, which was the home of his wife's family, he removed there, and passed the remainder of his days there. There is a survey of this neighborhood among the Duchy of Lancaster court rolls, made April 20, 1607, in which it is stated that William Feilde doth hold by copy ot his majesty a message called Causeye. This was a road or footpath raised above the surrounding land, usually passing over a morass, or damp ground. A small hamlet in Northowram is called Causeway End at the present day. Besides this causeway he held three acres of land whereof half an acre, used as pasture, and one and one-half acres, used as arable. Also the same William Fielde holdeth of his majesty by deed from my Lord of Leicester one acre and half a rod. According to the Wakefield rolls William Field, of Northowram, paid his fine in 1610 for one tenement, called Cawsey, with all his coppiehold lands, and in the same year he took of the lord four acres waste at Blackyers. In 1616 he was juror at Brighouse court, and in 1618 he is referred to as a sub-tenant of William Sympson. In his last year William Field, Senior de le Cawsey surrenders lands after his decease to William, his son and heir. In 1619 William Feild, of Northowram, clothier, surrenders Horwithins to use of Joseph, his son. On July 15, 1619, he made his will, which is in the registry "at York, and died soon after, as it was proved on the loth of November following: Will of William Field, of Northowram. — In the name of God amen, I Willm Feild of Northourome in the Countie of York clothier thoughe sicke and weake in bodie yet of whole mind and of sound and pfect memorie praysed be God fpr the same.

These beinge witnesses J Midgley Jonas Mitchell Mathew Mitchell As is stated in his will, William was a clothier. This word may have two mean ings — a manufacturer ot cloth or a cloth merchant. William Field's calling must have been the latter. Henry VII. brought Flemish cloth weavers to England and settled some of them at Wakefield. This industry soon became the chief one of the neighborhood, and has continued so to the present day, when the adjacent town of Leeds is the largest cloth market in the world. At the period we are writing of and even within the recollection of living men, all the cloth was made by hand, and in the cottages of the weavers. When a piece was finished it was taken to the merchant, or sold to him at a market where makers and buyers met. The mer chant distributed the goods acquired in this way to his customers at home and abroad, and such was the high reputation of the cloths made in the neighborhood of Wakefield that they found their way, at this early date, to all parts of the civilized world. Great changes have taken place at Wakefield, and in that vicinity since that day. Now large mills dot the banks ot the Calder, the machinery in which is driven by steam or water power and often both. The old village of Sowerby and the Field house stand on the hillside, and at some distance from the river, and are consequently less affected by the change than if they were nearer to it. 93. i.

As will be seen hereafter Christopher Feld did not marry until atter the date of his surrender. His brother John was probably dead at the time, and without issue, and perhaps also his sup posed brother James was no longer living, in which care the latter's son John, pre sumably the eldest, was then the natural heir of Christopher. This John is again named in 1532 and 1534, and at the last date, when he is described as the son of James he cedes a portion ot his rent from the twenty-three and one-halt acres to the use of Edward Farrow.

It is uncertain if the Robert Field, who made his will in 1558, is the one assessed at the same time as William or not. He de scribes himself as of Crofton. There are bequests in it to my brother Charles, and to Robert and Alice Field, and their children, Robert and Alice.

Two Christopher Fields witnessed this will of ' 'Christopher Rishworthe, of Crof ton, gentlemen," in 1538 — one describing himself as "husbandman," and the other as "wardroper." The wills of these two witnesses — referred to later — can be identified. The writer supposes that all the following entries in the manor rolls refer to Christopher, the "wardroper." In 1 541 he surrendered lands in Wakefield graveship and manor to Elizabeth, his wife. In 1544 he is spoken of as "Christopher Feld, of Sandall, merchant," and in 1547, under the head of this place, it is stated that he was elected greave for lands for merly Thomas Shey's. This entry occurs in 1552; "Robert Copley redd, lands to Christopher Feld, Sandall." His will is dated July 8, 1557, and was proved Decem ber i8th of the same year. He describes himself as "Christopher Feld, of Wake field,* mercer," and desires to be buried in the church of Wakefield, near his wife. He directs his executors "to cause a troughe stone with a remembrance of himself wife and children in pictures of brass to be set upon and laid upon the grave" as soon after his burial as convenient There are legacies to his brother Nicholas Feild, if he is living, to his son Christopher Feild, and to Percival Feild, to daugh ter Elizabeth, wife of Henry Watkinson, to daughter Katherine, wife of Richard Atkinson, to Anne Browne, daughter of said Katherine, to every one ot the chil- •Probably his place of business was at Wakefield, and his residence at Sandall, or Crofton. 82 FIELD GENEALOGY. dren of the said Elizabeth Watkinson, to Roger and Nicholas Jewett, his sister's children, to his son Matthew's wite and others. The residue is left to Matthew Feild, his son and heir, whom he appoints executor, together with testator's brother William and others. The Rev. J. L. Sisson, in his "Historical Sketch of Wakefield Church," published in 1824, speaks of the monuments formerly in this edifice, and gives the following inscription on that of Christopher Feild, which stood in the north aisle. "Here under this stone lyeth buried the bodies of Christopher Fylde mercer and Eliz. his wyfe which Christopher deceased the 30th day of November inthe year ot our Lord God* 1558.

In the Wakefield manor rolls there is an entry in 1596 of an indenture by which William HaU, ot Settle, and Elizabeth, his wife, cousin and heir of Matthew Feilde, of London, deceased, surrender a house in Wakefield and lands in Wenthrope to Matthew Feilde, of Ardislowe, gentleman, and Matthew Watkin son, of same place. This document serves to show the relationship between the branch of the family seated at Ardsley, and that residing at Sandall or Crofton. In 1601 William Walkhead, of Woodhouse, bequeathes to Mr. Matthew Field, of Ardsley, an old angel to make a gold ring. This angel was a gold coin, so caUed, because it bore an image of St. Michael and the dragon. His name occurs in the wiUs of three inhabitants of Ardsley, dated respectively, 1607, 1608 and 1609. He bought the manor of Thumscoe from the co-heirs of Sir John, constable, in, or prior to 1614, and about the same time— conjointly with his brother William — the fourth part of the manor of Idle of Sir John SavUe. On July 6, 1617, together with James Field, gentleman, his son and heir apparent, he gave a bond to Richard Water- house, of Clayton, in Bradford, for the fulfillment of certain covenants. He was one of the collectors of the subsidy for the West Riding ot Yorkshire, in 1623. The marriages and burials in the parish registers in East Ardsley do not commence till 1654, and the baptisms till 1662, but tolerably perfect copies exist of the earlier years in the Archbishop's registry at York. On Sept 9, 1631, an inquisition post mortem was held at Doncaster, relative to *The author cannot explain the slight discrepancy in the dates ot this monument and of the will.

D. 1629 and A. D. 1640, upward of twenty thousand liberty-loving Englishmen emigrated to, and found homes, in the then new world. Among them was Robert Field, whose name we find first recorded in America at Newport and Portsmouth A. D. 1638, then co-operating with Roger Williams (who was banished A. D. 1635, and who founded an asylum in Rhode Island), in forming society and establishing civil and religious liberty A. D. 1638-41. Then, during an interval of three years, his name in public affairs is not mentioned, and does not occur again until A. D. 1644. Robert Field is at that time reported as having arrived from England — he with his family probably came in the same ship with Roger Williams, who, retuming the second time to America, landed at Boston in that year. He then settled at Flushing, Long Island, A. D. 1645, and became the an cestor of the Fields of that place. He had a son, Anthony, b. in England, A. D. 1638. He d. before 1673. Res. Halifax, England; Newport, R. I. and Bayside, Flushing, Long Island. THE FIELDS OF FLUSHING, NEW YORK. Osgood Field, Esq. The difficulty in the majority of American pedigrees, which attempt to trace back the family beyond the Atlantic, is to connect the emigrant with the mother country and his ancestors there. In a tew cases, an entry in some colonial record, a reference in an English or American will, a remark of one of the early historians of the New World, a letter or diary ot the time still preserved, or one ot the "passen ger lists" of vessels sailing from the ports of London, Southampton, etc., for New FIELD GENEALOGY. England or Virginia (which often mentioned the old home of the emigrant), estab lished this connection beyond question ; but these instances are rare, and in most cases there is only circumstantial evidence, more or less convincing, to prove it. It is well known to those who are familiar with the law, that when a number of facts all point to one result, without anything contradictory in them, the thing they indicate is often considered as well established, and many have suffered the penalty of death, on such evidence alone. The true genealogist, who reads this book, will probably ask, "What are the grounds for supposing that Robert Field, who was a patentee of Flushing, N. Y., in 1645, was the child who was baptized at Halifax, England, in 1605-6?" These reasons the writer will now give, and he doubts not that they will satisfy the most critical. It is well known to all students of our colonial history, that emigration to New England languished for ten years after the arrival of the "Mayflower," and until the expedition was gotten up in 1630 by John Winthrop and Sir Richard Salton stall. which embraced some 1,500 souls, who were transported to the other side of the Atlantic in seventeen ships, and arrived there in June or July of that year. All accounts agree that the friends and neighbors of the two leaders of the expedition contributed largely to swell its numbers. In the eighth of EUzabeth (1566) the Sal- tonstalls acquired by purchase a mansion called Rookes and lands at Hipperholme, which had descended to Sir Richard. He was living at this place, which adjoins Northowram, in 1630. Coley Chapel was built about 1500, by the united contribu tions of Hipperholme, Northowram and Shelf, and the inhabitants of these three places were under its ministry. It follows that Sir Richard Saltonstall and Robert Feild were neighbors, attending the same religious services, and probably friends. The latter had no special ties in England. Both of his parents were dead ; he was a younger son and single. He was twenty-four years old ; an age when the spirit and love of adventure are strong in us, and nothing is more natural than that he should have accompanied Sir Richard to New England. They may have been connected; as Sir Richard's first wife was Grace, daughter of Robert Kay, Esq., of Woodsome, whom he married about 1609, and we have seen that William Field of Newsome, who died in 1617, had a daughter, Rosamond, wife of Godfrey Key, or Kay, the names being the same. The writer would mention, as a curious fact, that the first reference to a Field, who was beyond all question of the same family as this Robert, occurs in the Wakefield Manor roUs, in 1306, when Richard del Feld sued Robert de Salstonstall. The early English settlements on Long Island were largely composed of emi grants from Yorkshire. In 1665, the year following the surrender of the colony by the Dutch to the English, a convention was held at Hempstead, when Long Island and Staten Island were erected into a shire, and called after that in England, York shire. Like that, too, it was divided into a North Riding, East Riding and West Riding. Mr. Charles B. Moore says, in an article in "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record," when speaking of the sixty-seven proprietors of land at Hempstead in 1647, tliat the European ancestry of many of these cannot be ascer tained ; but that ' 'at least ten of these men can be traced from Yorkshire, England. A much greater number doubtless came from that large county. So many came from Yorkshire that the settlement was^characterised as a Yorkshire one." At the time of the Winthrop and Saltonstall expedition the Rev. Richard Den ton had been, since 1623, the officiating clergyman of Coley Chapel. In 1644 we find him among the first settlers of Hempstead, L. I. Thompson says of him, in his "History of Long Island:" "It is quite probable that many of those who ac companied him here had belonged to his church in the mother country, and were FIELD GENEALOGY. 87 determined to share his fortunes in a new region. Many of these emigrated with him to Watertown, Mass.,'' etc. Nor was Denton the only one of his old friends and neighbors whom Robert Field found near him in his new home at Flushing; for Matthew Mitchell, who was one of the witnesses of the will of his mother Susan in 1623, was also among the earliest settlers of Hempstead in 1644. Thompson says, in speaking of the first white inhabitants of this place, that Ward, Coe and Mitchell were commissioners for Stamford. The Rev. Mr. Alvord wrote of them as follows: "They were among the earliest inhabitants of New England, coming, as we have seen, through Weath ersfield from Watertown in Massachusetts, and from that noted company who ar rived with John Winthrop and Sir Richard Saltonstall." The Fields and Mitchells were connected 'by marriage, as already stated, for Robert's aunt Jane was married at Halifax, June 10, 1622, to John "Michell,"of Thomton. This couple are men tioned in the will of his mother, Susan Field, where the name is correctly spelt "MitcheU." Among other early settlers in New England, who were from the neighborhood of Northowram, and who were connected with the Fields by marriage, were the Bairstows — sometimes spelt Barstow, Barrsto or Beresto — and Jonathan Fairbanks. Thomas Feild and Susan Bairstow were married at Bradford on Jan. 12, 1618-19. Bond says, in his "History of Watertown," that four brothers of the name of Bar stow, or Bairstow, came early to this country; viz., Michael John, George and William. In the passenger list of the "Freelove," sailing for New England, Sept. 29. 1635, are the names of William Beresto, aged twenty-three, and George Beresto, aged twenty-one years. Savage says that Michael was the eldest brother, and that he joined the Church Dec. 5, 1635. He adds: "He was from Shelf, near Halifax, Co. York, West Riding." Not improbably Michael and John embarked first for the New World — perhaps in the expedition of 1630 — and George and William followed a few years later. On Nov. 23, 1624, Robert Field and Ruth Fairbank, of Hipperholme, were married at Halifax. She was, without doubt, of the same family as Jonathan Fair banks, of Dedham, who. Savage says, came to New England before 1641 with his wife Grace and probably all of his six chUdren. Savage adds: "He probably was from the West Riding of Yorkshire, as the will of his uncle George calls him of Sowerby in that part of England." The Robert Field who married Ruth Fairbank was baptized at Halifax, Aug. 29, 1602, when he is described as son of John Feelde, of Northowram. He is re ferred to in the Wakefield Manor rolls, the year of his marriage (1624), as holding lands at Hipperholme under Richard Sunderland. He had a son, John, baptized at Halifax, Dec. 25, 1625, who was buried there Jan. 16, 1625-26, being described on both occasions as "son of Robert Feild of Hipperholme." There was another per son of the same name as the settler at Flushing, who was also a contemporary. His name occurs in the "Passenger list" of the "James," of London, which vessel sailed from Southampton for New England, "about the VI. of April, 1635." He is entered on it as Robert Field, of Yealing (? Pealing, Berks). This Robert resided at Boston. What became of the greater portion of those who went over with Winthrop and Saltonstall during the first few years of their stay in New England it is impossible to say, for so little documentary evidence exists of that period. It is known that a large proportion of the company went to Watertown on, or shortly after, their ar rival, and Robert Field was probably one of these. He must have married soon atter landing in America, for he had two sons of age in Febmary, 1653-54. His wite, who survived him, was named Charity, and very probably she v^as one of the 88 FIELD GENEALOGY. company that crossed the Atlantic with him, perhaps in the same ship. The author knows nothing of her family, and the only clue to it which he can offer, is that her second son had the rather unusual name of Anthony, and as this had not been borne by any of Robert's near relatives, it may have come from ber side, and perhaps been that of her father. The first notice of Robert Field in our colonial records occurs in the state of Rhode Island. It has been said of Roger Williams, who founded this colony, that he was "the first person in modern Christendom to assert in its plenitude the doc trine of liberty of conscience. ' ' In 1636 he fled from the religious tyranny and per secution of the New England Puritans, and founded the town to which he gave the name of Providence, in recognition of God's mercies. He was soon followed by others — residents of New England — who are supposed to have shared his opinions, and among these was Robert Field. At a general meeting at Newport, R. I., held Aug. 23, 1638, it was agreed "that 13 lots, on the west side ot the spring, shall be granted to Mr. Richard Dummer and his friends," "to build there at the spring at farthest, or else their lots be disposed ot by the company." Among the friends of Mr. Dummer we find Robert Field. A little later the following entry occurs in the records: "Inhabitants admitted at the town of Newport, since the 20th of (May), 1638." In this list are the names of Robert Field and John Hicks. On Dec. 19, 1639, Robert Field was made free man of this town, and he is mentioned among the proprietors of land there in 1640. In the court roll of freemen, March 16, 1641, are the names of Robert Field and John Hicks. This is the last time that the former is referred to in the records of Newport, except in 1653, when he visited the place, probably as delegate for Long Island, and he is not mentioned in the list of freemen of the town in 1655. About the time of the settlement of Hempstead and Flushing, there was an in timate connection between the colony of Rhode Island and the English towns ol Long Island. The inhabitants of both were mainly composed of the same class, viz., those who had fled from English persecution, and those who had escaped, like Roger Williams, from the no less intolerant Puritans of New England. We find many of the same names in both places at this early period of their history; not only those of Field and Hicks, but also Townsend, Hazard, Coles, and a number ot others. We have seen that Robert Field and John Hicks are mentioned together more than once in the Newport records ; and when we leam that they are again as sociated a little later, and are among the sixteen persons to whom the Dutch gov emor granted a patent for the town ot Flushing, in 1645, we teel no moral doubt that the two settlers in Long Island were identical with the colonists of Rhode Island. A further proof ot this identity occurred a few years later. Govemor Stuyve sant and the Dutch authoriiies at New Amsterdam, looked with a jealous eye on the inhabitants ot the English towns within their jurisdiction ; and, as a result of this feeling, the latter suffered many tyrannical and unjust acts at the hands ot the govemment. The express stipulations ot their charters were violated ; illegal fines and taxes were imposed, and some were imprisoned or banished tor their religious opinions. In 1653 an idea became prevalent among the inhabitants ot these towns that the Dutch were inciting the Indians to a general massacre ot the English, and supplying the savages with arms for that purpose. Probably their fears were exag gerated, but there is no doubt that the Dutch had some secret negotiations with the red men ; with what object is not now known. It was whispered about that there was to be "a second Amboyna* tragedy;" and so great was the alarm that many ?Amboyna, one of the Moluccas, or Spice Islands, belonging to Holland. In 1623 an Eng lish settlement there (Cambello) was destroyed by the Dutch, and '.frightful tortures inflicted on the inhabitants. FIELD GENEALOGY. 89 abandoned their homes and went to the colonies where they were under the protec tion ot the English flag. An application was made to Rhode Island tor assistance, and probably Robert Field was one ot those sent there to make the request, as he was specially qualified for this mission from having formerly resided in that colony, and being among old friends and neighbors there. As we learn by the records, the deputation was suc cessful. At a general assembly held at Newport, May i8, 1653, it was ordered that a committee be chosen, "for referring matters that concern Long Island and in the case concerning the Dutch." Eight members ot this committee were selected, who were to "act upon presentment," and among these was "Mr. Robert Field." It was resolved at the same time ' 'that we judge it our duty to afford our countrymen on Long Island what help we can," etc. ' 'That they shall have two great guns and what munitions are with us," etc., etc. Captain John Underbill, who had resided for some years on Long Island, was appointed commander ot the forces by land, and Captain William Dyre ot those by sea. Under this commission. Captain Underbill captured the fort ot Good Hope, near Hartford, from the Dutch in the month of June following. How matters were arranged between the Govemment of New Amsterdam and their English subjects, is not exactly known ; probably steps were taken to convince the latter that their apprehensions ot a general massacre were groundless, for those who had left Long Island returned to their homes shortly atter, and matters re sumed their old course. The patent of the Govemor-general ot the New Netherlands, William Kief t, was dated Oct 19, 1645, and granted to Robert Field and his associates, their heirs and assigns, "a certain quantity or parcell, ot land, with all the Havens, Harbours, Rivers, Creekes, Woodlands, Marshes thereunto belonging and being upon the north side ot Long Island," atter which the boundaries are given. Robert Field built his house at that part ot Flushing called Bayside. No trace of it exists, but tamUy tradition says that it stood so near the water, that wild ducks, while swimming on it, could be shot trom the porch. Unfortunately for the historian ot the first settlers ot Flushing, the town rec ords were destroyed by fire in the latter halt of the last century ;* but a tew docu ments of their time have come down to us, which have been carefully preserved at the old Bowne house built by John Bowne in 1661. This ancient mansion is still standing, and occupied by his descendants. From the time of its erection, it was used by friends ot the famUy and neighbors as a depository tor papers ot value. Among these is the following: "February 12th, 1653 (i. e., 1653-4). "Flushing. Know all men by these presents that I Robert Field doe freely give and grant unto my two sons Robert Field and Anthony Field each ot them a house lott with the proprietie and priviledge thereunto belonging. I give unto Rob ert the Lott wh was formerly John Lake's. Unto Anthony the Lott which was formerly given unto Thomas Applegate's sones, which two Lotts were purchased by mee and now freely are given by mee unto them my two sones their heirs or assigns forever to enjoy. "ROBERT FIELD." *These records were kept in the house of John Vanderbuilt, the town clerk. It was set fire to in October, 1789, and consumed with its contents. Two slaves, Nelly and Sarah, were tried, condemned and executed for this crime. 7 90 FIELD GENEALOGY. This document is iinportant, as showing that Robert Field's two eldest sons were ot age at the time it was dated. The Thomas Applegate referred to in it was also one of the original patentees of Flushing. Robert Field, Robert Field, Jr., and "Anthonie" Field signed the petition to "the Govemor- Generall and Counsell of the New Netherlands, " in favour of the "scoute," or sheriff of Flushing, William Hallett, who was arrested for having religious meetings at his house. There is no date to this petition, but it must have been 1656, for William Hallett was banished on Nov. 8th of that year, and allowed to remain by a decree of Dec. 26th of same, on payment of a fine of ;^5o Flanders, and at same time deprived of his office. All three of the Fields signed that bold remonstrance* against the persecution of Quakers, addressed to the Governor-General, and dated Dec. 27, 1657. In the examination of Edward Hart, in reply to the question "Who signed at the meeting and who at their houses?" he said, "Anthony Field, and both of ye Fields (i. e., Robert sen. and jun.), at ye housee of ye village blacksmith, Michael Milner," where the meeting was held. This remonstrance bore the signatures of thirty of the principal inhabitants of the town, and the whole tenor of it shows that they were in advance of the age in their views in regard to religious freedom and liberty of conscience. Tobias Feake,f the sheriff, who presented the paper, was immediately arrested. Hart who drew it up, and Farrington and Noble, two of the magistrates who signed it, were imprisoned. A patent of confirmation of Flushing, dated Feb. 16, 1666, names but one Rob ert Field, who is styled neither "senior" nor "junior." It follows that either the emigrant was dead, or that his son Robert had left Flushing. The author inclines to the latter opinion, as we know that the younger Robert was at Newtown in or before 1670, where he resided for the rest of his life and died. His father, however, was no longer living in 1673, as shown in the following document, preserved at the old Bowne house, which also establishes the name of his wife: "February ye 6th 1672 (i. e., 1672-3). "Know all men by these prents that I Charity Field, widow, Doe own and Confess that the home Lott that Lyeth betwixt the Lott that was formerly old Applegate's, and the Lott that was formerly ....

She is also referred to in a letter from John Bowne to his wife, written while he was abroad, and dated, "Amsterdam this 9th of the 4th mo. caUed June, 1663." The passage reads as follows: "Remember my true love to Joan Chatterton and Charity Field." We leam by the records of Queens County, Long Island, that Robert Field, Sr., of Newtown, on Oct 9, 1690, gave to his son Nathaniel Field, lands and salt meadows at the head of the ' 'ffly" at Flushing.

We learn also by the Flushing records of the Society of Friends that Robert Field, of Newtown, died the 13th day of the second month, 1701. The writer is in clined to put the date of his birth as 1631. This accords with what Mr. James Riker, the historian of Newtown, wrote to him: "Robert, Sr., at his death in 1701. could not have been less than 65 to 70 years of age." His wife, whose name was Susannah, survived him. I have it from another source that Robert was in Boston in 1644, and went from there to Flushing.

Roger Williams was a Baptist, and for calling in question the authority of magistrates in respect of the rights of the civil power to impose faith and worship, he insisting that the .civil power only extended to the bodies, goods and outward estate of men, for these principles he could not be tolerated, and was banished. So also in the case of Mr. Bowne ; he seemed to have a liking for George Fox, and that was enough to cost him all the persecution he suffered.

We find some notices of Elizabeth Field, niece and heiress of Matthew, in the Wakefield manor rolls, viz. : 1580, Elizabeth Field, daughter of Christopher Field, brother of Matthew Field, deceased, paid V3iiid heriot for "3 shoppes in le mr ketstead de Wakefield, close of 2 acres in Alverthorpe, 4 closes (8 acres) in Wrenthorpe and Woodall in Stanley, post dec. of Matthew her uncle:" 1583, "Elizabeth Field, cousin (i. e., niece) and heir presumptive of Matthew Field, deed, redd, Woodside close in Wrenthorpe (6 acres), to Thomas Cave." It would appear from the following that Elizabeth Field mar ried, first, a Nowell, and secondly, William Hall: 1596. Inden ture twenty-ninth Elizabeth, "William Hall of Settle, yeoman and Eliz.

This entry shows that there was a connec tion between this branch of the family, and that of East Ardsley. The last Matthew Feild referred to above was the second son and heir of John Feild, the astronomer, whose will contains a legacy "to my cosine Nowell and Christopher, his son." This "cosine Nowell" was perhaps the first husband of Elizabeth Field.

Matthew, son and heir of Christopher Field, mercer, removed to London, and apparently carried on the same business there that his father had done at Wakefield. We learn from a pedigree of the Meredith family among the Harleian MSS. at the British Museum, that he married Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Meredith, of Lon don, Mercer, and that this Elizabeth was co-heiress of her brother William, who died childless. Matthew Field resided at Hackney, in a mansion called ' 'the Black and White House," supposed to have been built by him, and he was a member of the "Mercers' Company," one ot the most ancient and wealthy of London guilds. We learn by the Wakefield manor rolls thathe waselected, in 1569, "greave for Shay's land, deputy William Sykes." His father, Christopher, was elected to this same office in 1547, as already stated. The manor ot Kingshold forms part of the present suburb of London, called Hackney, and in its rolls we find several references to Matthew Field. In 1568 William Alman and Elizabeth, his wite (formerly wife of William White, deceased), made a surrender to "Matthew Feylde, Citizen and Mercer of London." In 1570 Henry White, son of the above William, in 1575, Joshua White, one ot the heirs ot William White, and Elizabeth, his wife, and in 1576 Thomas White, one of the sons of the aforesaid William White, of Hackney, and Eliz., his wife, all made similar .surrenders to Matthew Feild, of London, Mercer. Matthew Field seems to have died childless, and left no will. We find an entry in the records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, in London, that adminis tration was granted to Anthony Marler on the estate of Matthew Field, of St. Laurence, Old Jewry, Mercer, on April i, 1581. His burial is recorded in the registers of that church on Jan. 19, 1580* (i. e., 1580-1). MATTHEW FIELD, OF LONDON, MERCER: HIS FAMILY AND ARMS. [By Osgood Field, F. S. A., of Italy.] The following article, 1 hope, may prove of interest to the readers of the Reg ister, and more especially so, to the numerous descendants of Robert Field, the emigrant With some trifling exceptions, the facts here stated have never appeared in print, and have been gathered in the course of my own investigations. In the Hall of the Mercers' Company, of London, in an old oak carving, consist ing of a large shield of the Mercers' arms, and underneath a smaller one with those ot Field (a chevron between three garbs), impaling two coats, one a lion rampant, the other a chevron between three dolphins ; the latter being the arms of Meredith. This carving was formerly in an ancient mansion at Hackney, called "the Black and White House," which was pulled down some years since, and which is said to have been built by Matthew Field, a member of the Mercers' Company. The carv ing was presented to this guild some time ago, by WiUiam Tyssen, whose family, now represented by Lord Amherst, have been lords of the manor in which this old house stood since 1698. The impalement of the Meredith arms is explained by the fact that Matthew Field's wife was of that family, as may be seen in the fol lowing pedigree, taken from the Harleian MSS. in the British Museum, 1096, fol. 20.

It would appear, therefore, that Matthew Field died childless, and he does not seem to have left a will, as none can be found among those recorded in the Prerog ative Court of Canterbury, London ; but there is an entry there that on AprU i, 1 581, administration was granted to Anthony Marler, on the estate of Matthew Field, ot S. Laurence, Old Jewry, Mercer. His burial is recorded in the Parish Registers of this church Jan. 12, 1580. We have seen that Elizabeth Field, of Wakefield, was heir to Matthew, her uncle, and this is confirmed by the following extracts from the rolls of this manor: IS 80 Elizabeth ffield, dau of Christopher ffield, brother of Matthew ffield deed paid vsiijd heriot for 3 shoppes in le m'ketsteadj de Wakefield, close of 2 acres in Alverthorpe, 4 closes (8 acres) in Wrenthorpe & Woodall in Stanley, post dec. of Matthew her uncle. 1583 Elizabeth ffield cousin (i. e. niece) and heir presumptive of Matthew ffield deed redd Woodside close in Wrenthorp (6 acres) to Thomas Cove.

FIELD GENEALOGY. 95 ot Ardsley, the astronomer, who has been styled "the Proto-Copernican of Eng land," and to whom the arms ot his family, sa, a chevron between 3 garbs argent, were confirmed, and a crest granted Sept. 4, 1558. This Matthew is called second son of John Field in the pedigree recorded at the Herald's visitation of Yorkshire, in 1584-5. He is also mentioned in the will of his mother, Jane Field, of Ardsley, dated July 17, 1609. He was probably heir to his father, as his eldest brother, Richard, was disinherited for misconduct in the astronomer's will, made in 1587. To return to Matthew Field, of London, the parish registers of Wakefield do not commence till 1613, and therefore afforded no help in tracing his ancestry; but among the wills recorded at York, we find that ot Christopher Feylde, of Wake field, mercer, dated July 8, 1557. He names in it his son and heir, Matthew, to whom he bequeaths the residue of his estate, and to whose wite a legacy is left. The other children named are Elizabeth, "now wife" of Henry Watkinson*, Katharine, wife of Richard Atkinson, and Christopher. The testator also speaks of his brothers Nicholas and William. He desires to be buried in the church of Wakefield, near his wife, and directs his executors to cause "a troughe stone," with a remembrance of himself, wife and children in pictures of brass to be set upon and laid upon the grave. The Rev. J. L. Sisson, in his "Historical Sketch of Wakefield Church," pub. lished in 1824, says that a monument formerly existed in the north aisle of the edifice with this inscription: "Here under this stone lyeth buried the bodies of Christopher Fylde, mercer, and Eliz. his wyfe, which Christopher deceased the 30 day of Nov. in the year of our Lord God 1558, on whose soul Jesus have mercy." The Wakefield manor rolls supply another link tending to show the relationship between this Christopher and Matthew Field, of London, for we find in them under the date of 1547, and heading of Sandall, that Christopher ffield was elected proposi tus for lands formerly Thomas Shays, and again in 1569, also headed Sandall, that Matthew ffield, of London, was elected prepositus (greave) for Shay's land, deputy William Sykes. In the subsidy roll of the fifteenth Henry VIII. (1524), under Westgate Wake field, Christopher Feyld is assessed for ;£'2o goods 20s. There are a few other references to him in the manor rolls. In 1541 he surrendered lands in Wakefield graveship and manor to Elizabeth, his wife. He is referred to in 1544 as Christo pher ffeld, Sandall, merchant. In 1552 Robert Copley "redd lands to Christopher ffeld, Sandall." I presume that his residence was at or near Sandall, andhis place of business in Wakefield. There was another Christopher Field living at the same time in this neighbor hood. Both Christophers witnessed the will of Christopher Rishworthe, gent, of Crofton, in 1538 — one describing himself as "wardroper," and the other as "hus bandman." The latter made his will in December, 1570, and died shortly after. He names in it his sons Robert and John, also Christopher, Frances, Elizabeth and Alice, children of Robert and Israel and Frances, those of John. He describes himself as of Crofton, and as he leaves to five of his grandchildren each "one ewe lamb" we may assume that his calling was that of "husbandman," and that he is the witness so described in Rishworthe' s will. Crofton and Sandall are about two miles from Wakefield, and adjoin. The latter was at this period by far the most important of the two, and those residing in its immediate neighborhood may have been described as of Sandall. Here stood the famous castle, whose ruins are still shown, which was originally the chief seat of Wakefield manor, and which was at different epochs the residence of Richard •Probably father of Matthew Watkinson, named in indenture, 1596. 96 FIELD GENEALOGY. HI., and many other royal and distinguished persons, till its capture in 1645, during the civil wars, and demolition shortly after. It is not clear, therefore, if Christo pher Field, the father of Matthew, of London, resided at Crofton, or Sandall. The Parish Registers do not help us in this matter ; those of the former place not com mencing till 1617, and of the latter till 1652. On the south side of the village of Crofton is an old building, on which are the arms of this family of Field— chevron between three garbs. It was doubtless the residence of some members of it ; but I cannot say if it was the home of either Christopher, or dates back to their time. There were members of the family at a much later period at Crofton. William Field, who made his will Dec. 4, 1623, describes himself as "of Crofton," and left sons, WUliam, Richard, Henry and Thomas. All the persons named were, without doubt, offshoots of the family, which had been seated at Sowerby* since the commencement of the existing manor rolls. These begin in 1284!, but are imperfect till 1306. How much earlier they weie there is not clear ; but it would appear from the Coucher book of Whalley Abbey, which has been published by the Ch^eltham Society, that there were Fields at Rochdale about the middle of the thirteenth century. Although this town is in another county — Lancashire — it is only about a dozen miles from Sowerby. The earliest mention I have met with of any member of the family in the immediate neighborhood of the town of Wakefield is in 1413, when John Field, of Normanton, is referred to in the manor rolls, who may have been the progenitor of the branches whom we find later at Crofton, Sandall and Ardsley. The diary of Richard Symonds, written in 1644 and 1645, which has been pub lished by the Camden Society, contains a description of a monument, which he saw in Madley church, near Hereford, which has since disappeared. It was that of a knight in complete armor of the thirteenth century — his surcoat embroidered with his arms — sable, three garbs argent; underneath was the inscription "Walt us et Joh' es Felde." The name and similarity of the arms would indicate that the family of these knights was identical with that of Wakefield manor, but there exists' so little documentary evidence of this early date that I am unable to trace the connection. Burke, who is not always reliable, states in one edition of his "Landed Gentry," that Hubertus de la Feld held lands in Lancashire, the third year after the con quest (presumably granted for military services at the time of the Norman invasion), and that others of the name were proprietors in this county at various dates during the next two centuries. I would remark here that the name is always written "del ffeld" in the earlier part of the Wakefield rolls, and until after 1400. and that this is a more correct form than "de la ffeld." The simplicity of the family arms, aside from the early date of the monument in Madley church, show that they were among the most ancient in the united kingdom. In choosing this "canting" coat one would suppose that the Fields would have assumed the natural and proper color for the garbs; but there was a substantial reason for not having done so, as it would have been identical with one already adopted by another family. In a roll of arms, attributed to the reign of Henry III., and which is considered the most ancient one in England, of which any copy exists, the coat of the de Segraves is given as sable, three garbs or. A little later the Earls of Chesterboro, Azure, three garbs or.

FIELD GENEALOGY. 97 cendants of the family which was once numerous in the manor of Wakefield, and of which Matthew Feild, of London, mercer, was a member, only those who can trace their ancestry to Robert Field, one of the patentees of Flushing, Long Island, in 1645, have established a claim to represent it. His father, William,* is described as of Sowerby, in the parish registers of Halifax, when his two eldest children were baptized March 9, 1605, and remained here until his death, in 1619. His removal may be explained by the fact that his wife, Susan, was daughter of John Midgley, of North Ouram, and not improbably she inherited property there. North Ouram, as well as Sowerby, is in the extensive and once royal manor ot Wakefield, which may be considered the cradle of this branch of the Feilds. To conclude, the connection between the great city companies of London and the Wakefield manor family did not cease with the death of Matthew Field, for in the rolls referred to there is this entry, under the date of 1612: "Wm Feilde elves et Marchantef Tayler de London & Sara up eins, surrender vac. voc. Lawsfield (Wakefield) to John Lyon of Wakefield, gent, money to be paid at his house in the psh of St. Faith, London." This William Field's will, recorded in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, London, is dated Jan. 28, 1621-2, and was proved February 13th of the same year. He describes himself as Citizen and Merchant Taylor of London, speaks of his wife, Sara, and children not named. Besides other property he leaves lands in Bedfordshire and Lambeth, and bequeaths to twenty poor people ofthis parish of St. Faith each 20s. His widow, Sarah s will was dated July 30, 1653, but not proved till Nov. 10, 1657. She describes herself as "of St. Faith's under St. Paul's, widow, aged and weak." She names her eldest son Samuel, deceased, son James, grandchild William Field, and daughters Sarah, wife of Robert Thornton, Elizabeth, wife of Adam Howes, and Mary, wife of William Jeston; also granddaughter Mary, wife of Oliver Boteler, of Harrold, County Bed ford, Esq. She speaks of her cases in St Paul's churchyard, and Old Change. Her burial is thus recorded in the parish registers of St. Faith's, May 4, 1657: "Mrs. Feild, out of St. John's chancel." In the registers of St. Faith are recorded the baptisms of William, Elizabeth, Daniel and Nathaniel, between 1656 and 1661, inclusive, children of "William Field, woolen draper, and Elizabeth, of St Paul's churchyard."

In 1636 a large number of English emigrants, among whom was Zechariah Field, removed from Cambridge, Dorchester and Watertown, to Hartford, Windsor and Wethersfield, Conn. He settled in Hartford ; his residence was upon Sentinel Hill, near the present north end of Main street. At this time he was still in the vigor of manhood, and was one of the forty-two men furnished by Hartford to take part in the Pequod war. In venturing thus far toward the frontier he exposed his family to great dan gers from the savages that were lurking near the new settlements. A few years later King Philips war stirred up the Indians from one end of Massachusetts to the other. The massacre of Bloody Brook (a part of Deerfield), in which a whole com pany ot soldiers were killed, put a thrill of horror through the new settlements, that were soon deserted, the people fleeing to Northampton for safety. But a few months later the whites turned the tide in the battle of Turner's Falls, which gave them rest for some years, till the Indians were stirred up again by the French, and attacking Deerfield at night, set fire to the town and massacred part ot the inhabitants, and made prisoners of the rest. In all these terrible scenes few fam ilies suffered more than the Field family, of whom some were killed and others, including women, carried into captivity, to Canada. But in spite ot all these dan gers the brave settlers held the frontier and became the ancestors of families who have kept the name unsullied, honored and revered. Among their descendants are not only judges, senators, congressmen, clergymen, lawyers and physicians, but men of business, and one — Marshall Field, ot Chicago — the leading dry goods mer chant in the world. In 1659 Zechariah removed to Northampton, where he was engaged in mercan tile business, and had a large trade with the Indians. He was one of the twenty- five persons who engaged to settle in what is now Hatfield, and was one of the com mittee to lay out the lands. They were to have their houses built and occupy them before Michaelmas (Sept. 29, 1661), but he did not probably go there until the next year, where he died, June 30, 1666. After his removal to Hatfield he was in busi ness. His home lot contained eight acres, and was the first lot north of the North ampton road, and is now (1879) owned by William Billings, Esq. "Zechariah Field was the first of the names to come to America from England, in 1630, and he is the ancestor of a large proportion of the families of that name, not only in New England, but in the United States. He was in Boston and Dor chester and moved thence to Hartford, Conn. , going through the wilderness to the Connecticut river, where he was one of the first settlers. He owned large tracts of land there, some of which are now in the heart of the city of Hartford, one of these is now crossed by Asylum street, and is adorned by some of its most beautiful resi dences in that city. In 1644 dissensions arose in the church, which could not be successfully reconciled. He, with others of the early settlers, bought nine miles square of land lying north of Mt Holyoke. Mr. Field settled in the part now named Northampton. In 1661 a grant was given him in the part now Hatfield, to which place he moved, and there passed the remainder of his days." "Zechariah was the first to make his home in New England, and has the most numerous descendants, being the ancestor not only of a large proportion of the families of the name of Field in New England, but in the United States. He emi grated and landed in Boston in 1629, and settled in Dorchester. In 1636 a number of English emigrants, among whom was Zechariah Field, removed from Cambridge, Dorchester and Watertown to Connecticut, and settled in the towns of Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor. Zechariah settled in Hartford, and his residence was FIELD GENEALOGY. 99 upon Sentinel HiU, near the north end of Main street. He also owned lands upon which is Asylum street. The early historians of Connecticut speak of these emigrants as among the earliest planters in the state, and were all well-to-do persons. In 1658, after the death of Rev. Thomas Hooker, the first minister of the church in Hartford, a serious controversy arose in that and the neighboring churches of Windsor and Wethersfield, in rela tion to the "qualification for baptism, church membership and the rights of the brotherhood," and all efforts at reconciliation proving unsuccessful, the minor ity in the churches of Hartford and vicinity, with the view of extricating them selves and their children from these ecclesiastical dissensions, and being attracted by the beautiful and productive meadows on the Connecticut river above North ampton, associated themselves together to the number of sixty, of whom Zechariah Field was one, purchased of the Nonotuck Indians on the east side of the river a tract of land nine miles square, extending from Mount Holyoke to Napasoneag brook, nearly twelve miles up and down the river, which included the town of Hadley, and parts of the towns of Amherst, Granby, Leverett and Sunderland. They also purchased the same year of the Northampton proprietors Capawonk, which included Hatfield meadow and Hockanum, on the east side of the river, opposite Northampton. In 1659 fifty-nine of these associates came up to Hadley, where forty-six remained, and thirteen came across the river, and mostly settled in Hatfield. Mr. Field settled in Northampton, where he was engaged in mercantile business and had a large trade with the Indians. He was one ot the twenty-five persons who engaged to settle in what is now Hatfield. They were to have their houses built and occupy them before Michaelmas (Sept. 29, 1661). His home lot contained eight acres, and was the first lot south of the Northampton road, where the dweUing of William Billings now (1880) stands. Referring to the causes which led these people to leave their newly acquired homes in Connecticut, and go forth into the wilderness and make for themselves new homes, where dangers were ever present. True, they bought the lands from the Indians and the title deed signed by Umpan- chala and his brother, Etowomq, granting the land from Mill river, or Capawonk, ' to the north side of the great meadows, and to extend back westerly from the Connecticut river nine miles. Yet this gave them no immunity from the continual alarms ot Indian warfare which soon after sprung up, and was nearly continuous until the capture of the Canada's by the English and colonists which resulted in the peace of Paris in 1763." — Rodney Field. The early portion of the history of Hatfield will be found in the history of Hadley, of which it originally formed a part. With Hadley, it was settled in 1659, and, although it was municipally and ecclesiastically a portion of Hadley, it began at an early day to transact certain kinds of business independently, in what were denominated "side meetings," the "side" having reference to the opposite side of the river from the center of jurisdiction. The inconveniences resulting from the necessity of crossing the river to attend meetings, were felt from the first, and when the population had been somewhat increased, in the passage of a few years, they gave rise to a controversy which at last resulted in the establishment of the town of Hatfield. Petitions and manifestoes, almost without number, were sent to the General Court trom both sides. The Hartford, Conn., land records have a large number of conveyances, grantor and grantee of Zechariah Field (1639 to 1662). Those old transfers were not much more than a memorandum. The most prominent and controlling cause which led to the settling of Hadley and Hatfield was, without a doubt, the disagreement that arose in the churches, that had been planted at Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor, Conn. 100 FIELD GENEALOGY. Hubbard says that the disagreements ended in the removal of one part of the church to Hadley and Hatfield. The cause of disagreement was simply this: Quite a minority in these churches held to different views relating to qualifications for baptism, church membership and the rights of the brotherhood. As relating to baptism, the minority held that if parents were respectable and not open to reproach for bad conduct, on their consenting to the covenant, they should have their children baptized. A matter of vital importance, as it was supposed and believed that without this rite having been administered, the child dying would be forever lost, even before it came to a knowledge of good and evil. And then some believed that no one should be permitted to enjoy church membership, except those that gave some evidence of their faith ; while the minority wanted all to be admitted to the Lord's table, who had competent knowledge, and who were not immoral, though not claiming to have been regenerated. And then the minority were in favor of congregational form of government rather than a government by the elders and clergy. Thus we see the causes which led these people to leave their homes and go forth into the wilderness, and make for themselves new homes, where dangers were even present. True, they bought their lands of the Indians, and the title deed, signed by Umpanchala, and his brother, Etowomq, granting the land trom Mill river, or Capawonk, to the north side of the Great or North Meadows, and to extend back westerly from the Connecticut river nine miles. Yet this gave them no immunity from the dangers resulting from the almost constant roar maintained by the various Indian tribes all along our frontier settlements. Among those who cared more for free religious thought and action then he did for sitting supinely by and allowing the minister to do the thinking for him, was the ancestor of our worthy host, Zechariah Field. Indeed he dared leave his house and lands, and although then three score years old, to leave aU and go out into a new land, and built tor himself a new home, whore Indians roamed the fields, fished in our brooks, hunted in our woods, and planted com in our meadows, sold brooms to OUI housewives, begged cold victuals, and strong water when they could get it, from our very religious ancestors in times of peace. But when ere long, strife was engendered and ruthless savage warfare was waged around our little frontier settlements ; then, indeed, the faith and trust of these noble men, was equal to the occasion, and while they bravely defended their wives and little ones from the savage foe with such skill and power as they possessed they never forgot the great facts of their faith and calmly trusted in the Lord for that deliverance which He alone could give. 155. i.

Inventory ;^34, 19s, 6d. Here is a copy of a remarkable paper. Some years ago while collating and arranging the old papers of the town of Providence, it was necessary to detach a lot of old papers that had been pasted into scrap books. One of these papers which had a return of the property of Joseph Jenks (liable to be taxed) upon being "soaked off" of the page had upon the other side the writing which is here copied. It is in the handwriting of Thos. Olny, long the town clerk, and refers to the first John Field of Providence without doubt. It was evidently the beginning of some instrument which he had been commissioned to prepare, and was left unfinished, for what reason it would now be impossible to tell. It was written in 1686 or 1687. Yours very truly, EDWARD FIELD. Providence, January, 1900.

Anthony Field, son of the emig;rant, and probably the second child, remained at Flushing. We have seen that his father deeded a house lot to him in 1653-54, and that he signed public documents of some importance in 1656-57. He is named in the patent of confirmation of Flushing, in 1666, and also among those who took the oath of allegiance in 1673. A valuation of estates at Flushing was made in 1675, which has the following entry: "Anthony Feild, 27 acres, 2 horses, 2 oxen, and 5 cows." His name occurs in a simUar document in 1683, as follows: "Anthony Feild, 50 acres, 2 oxen, 4 cows, 4 swine, 10 sheep." From 1675 to 1683 he was among the ratepayers ot Flushing, and he is one of those to whom a patent of confirmation of that town 108 FIELD GENEALOGY. was granted March 23, 1685. This is the last occasion on which the author finds him mentioned, and he died before his son Benjamin married in 1691, as he is spoken of in the entry of it as ' 'deceased. ' ' We know from this record that his wife, who survived him, was named Susannah, but that of her family has not come down to us. We also learn from it that Benjamin was not his only son.

PROOF THAT JOHN FIELD, THE ASTRONOMER, WAS THE ANCESTOR OF THE FIELDS IN AMERICA. [By Rev. Henry Martyn Field.] Of those who have made researches into the genealogy of the Fields in this country, few have been able to carry back the line beyond the first of the name who came to America. Even Mr. Osgood Field, who has spent a greater part of his life in England, and been ardent in the search, is not able to trace his immediate ancestors further than to Great Horton, in Yorkshire. This is about seven mUes from Ardsley, where lived John Field, the astronomer, of whom he says: "We are related to, but not descended from, that distinguished man, and entitled to the arms confirmed to him, but strictly speaking, not to the crest." He seems to be lost in attempting to trace the family of John Field, and in a brief account which he fumished to the "Gentleman's Magazine," supplementary to an article published in 1834, he says, "I am unable to say if any of his descendants, in the male line, are now living." We regret to differ from so high an authority, but in our judg ment, the proofs which follow, are decisive that there are male descendants now living, and that he himself is one of them, and further, that this same eminent man is the ancestor of the principal families of Fields in America. Twenty years ago 1 prepared a little memorial of my father's family (that ot the late Rev. David D. Field, D.D., of Stockbridge, Mass.), which had the good for tune to bring me into acquaintance with others of the name, and thus teach me much more about my own family than 1 knew before. Among others, it fell under the notice of Mr. Richard Field, a venerable Quaker of Brooklyn, who had long taken great interest in genealogical researches. He "was highly gratified in its perusal," but regretted to find that I had not been able to procure the necessary data to trace my ancestors at least two generations beyond Zachariah Field, as he "had for a long time been in possession of information which perfectly satisfied him that Zachariah was beyond question the grandson of John Field, the astronomer." Fully assured that he had in his hands the missing link in our ancestral line, he called on Mr. Cyrus W. Field, and laid before him the facts in his possession, and at his suggestion wrote as follows to his father, the Rev. Dr. Field: "Brooklyn, Jan. 20, 1862. "My much respected, though unknown friend: "I was recently called on by a gentleman, who introduced himself by informing me that he was a member^of the Field family, from the state of New Jersey, whose ancestors he had been endeavoring to trace to as early a period as he could ; and FIELD GENEALOGY. 109 that he had succeeded no farther than to a John Field, who came to New Jersey from Flushing, L. I., more than 150 years ago; that for the purpose of prosecuting his researches, he had recently visited Flushing, but could obtain no satisfactory information in relation to the object of his inquirj'. He learned that the old records of the town, in which he hoped to find accounts of the early settlement of that place, had been destroyed by fire many years since. He finally met with some one who advised him to call on me, as I could probably furnish him with the desired infor mation. He accordingly did call, and I had the satisfaction to furnish him with the information, that the John Field, who removed from Flushing, was the son of Anthony Field, of Flushing; that Anthony Field, his brother Benjamin, and father Robert, with a number of others, were named in a patent of confirmation obtained from Governor Nicoll, for the town of Flushing, dated Feb. 16, 1666; that Robert Field only was named in the original patent obtained from Governor Kieft (that is, Robert only of the Fields). He, with a number of others, obtained the original patents from the Governor, or rather Director-General, of New Netherlands, as New York was then called. Robert Field's sons, Anthony and Benjamin, were then chil dren at that date (Oct. 19, 1645). He was further informed, that Robert Field, father of Anthony, was the son of James Field, the grandson ot Matthew Field, of Ardsley, York county, England, and that Matthew Field was the son of John Field, ot Ardsley, formerly of London, the celebrated astronomer." [The letter then details a plan of a genealogical Family Tree, of which John Field, the astronomer, should form the trunk, and his descendants the branches, to render which complete it was desirable to obtain information in regard to "the names of those who can trace their ancestors back to either Zechariah Field, who came out to Boston about the year 1632 — to William or John Field, who came to Rhode Island shortly afterwards — or to Robert Field, who arrived in Boston in 1644, and settled in Flushing in 1645."] The writer of this letter afterwards did me the kindness to call upon me, and to show me the proofs which made the ancestry of the Fields of this country so clear and plain to him. Within the two years following I saw him many times, and was equally surprised and gratified by the extent ot his information. As I am chiefly indebted to him for the facts which follow, it is right to let the reader know the character and standing of my informant Mr. Richard Field was an old mer chant of New York, to which he came more than half a century before I knew him. Hewas for twenty-two years — from 1823 to 1845 — in partnership with Charles C. Thompson. The firm was Field, Thompson & Co. He was in business in Pearl street, where Piatt street is now cut through. From 1829 to 1845 he was in Cedar street He was then retired from business, being nearly seventy-two years old, though the house was continued in the firm of Field, Morris & Co., his two sons being partners. For twenty-five years he had lived in Brooklyn, where he still resided, at No. 109 Willow street He was connected with many of the public institutions of that city, and for some years discharged the responsible duties of president of the Brooklyn City Hospital. At these interviews Mr. Field showed me many ancient and curious documents containing autograph signatures of his ancestors — one of them, with the date of 1692, bore the signatures of his grandfather's great-grandfather, and of his grand mother's great-grandfather, Benjamin Field, and of several of his lineal descend ants, as well as collateral branches of the family. Among these was one [copied on another page] which came from his grandmother, giving the date of the birth of Benjamin Field, in 1663, and extending back in a direct line to his ancestors — Anthony, Robert, James, and Matthew — to John Field, the astronomer, giving the date of the birth of each. There was also a document executed by his great-grand- no FIELD GENEALOGY. father, Robert Field, son of Benjamin, bom in 1707, being the manumission of a slave, in which he says, "Upon considering the case of negroes now in slavery, believing they should be free, I do hereby declare," etc., discharging his slave from all claims of himself or his heirs. These old papers were kept by Mr. Field with religious care, as they enabled him to trace back his ancestors, in an unbroken line, for more than three hundred years, and to find a great and honored name as that of the founder of the family. The following are the testimonies referred to in the letter of Mr. Field, which, in his view, established the fact that the Fields in this country — at least those des cended from Zechariah, William, John, or Robert Field — ^were all descended from John Field, the astronomer : Copy of an old Record belonging to Mr. Richard Field, which came from his grandmother, and which had probably been in the family more than 100 years. The water mark, G. R., with thecrown, showed thatthe paper was made when the United States were Colonies of Great Britain. Benjamin Field was born in Flushing, in the year 1663, was the son of An thony and Susanna Field. He had a brother John, a few years older than himself, who removed to the Jerseys and settled there. His father, Anthony Field, was bom in England, in 1638, and came out with his father, Robert Field, to Boston, in 1644, and came to Flushing in 1645, together with his brother, Robert, who was bom in 1636, and Benjamin, born in 1640. Robert, father of Anthony, was born at Ardsley, in England, in 1610. He had a brother James, and two sisters, Anne and Judith. James Field, father of Robert, was born at Ardsley, in 1587. He was the son of Matthew Field, and had a brother Robert, younger than himself. Matthew Field father of James, was born at Ards ley, in 1563. He had seven brothers, whose names were — Richard, older than himself, and Christopher, John, William, Thomas, James and Martin, and a sister Anne, who were younger. John Field, father of Matthew, was bom about 1525. He lived in London, where it is believed he was bom, until about 1560, when he married Jane Amyas, daughter of John Amyas, and removed to Ardsley, where he resided till his death, in 1587. While he resided in London, he was engaged in publishing astronomical tables, by which he gained a very high reputation as an astronomer. STATEMENT OF JOSIAH FIELD. Josiah Field was an uncle of Richard Field, and ot course, like him, was a descendant of the Flushing Fields. He was born in 1774, in the town of Green wich, Conn., just over the line of the State of New York, and was the son of Uriah Field. He came to New York City about the year 1815, and here continued to reside until his death, in 1858 or 1859. He was a dealer in hides, and was well known to the leather merchants in the "Swamp," as Ferry street, with its vicinity, was then called. His place of business was in Elizabeth street. Josiah Field's statement of a conversation with an old gentleman of the Massa chusetts branch of the Field family, about the year 1830. Josiah Field stated that he was one day standing at the door of his place of business when he was accosted by an old gentleman who was passing, with the inquiry whether his name was Field, and who, on receiving an affirmative reply, remarked that he supposed so from seeing the name on the sign-board. He said his object in making the inquiry was to leam whether he was a descendant ot the Flushing branch of the Field family, and whether he could trace them back beyond Robert Field, one of the first proprietors of the town ot Flushing? FIELD GENEALOGY. Ul Josiah Field replied he was from the Flushing branch of the family, and that he could trace them back three generations beyond Robert Field with entire cer tainty; that Robert Field, of Flushing was the son of James Field; that James Field was the son of Matthew Field, of Ardsley ; and that Matthew Field was the son of John Field, the astronomer. The old gentleman then inquired whether he could inform him whether James Field, son of Matthew, had any brothers? Josiah Field informed him that James had but one brother, whose name was Robert. Inquiry was then made as to the brothers of Matthew Field. In reply it was stated that Matthew had a large number of brothers, some six or seven, a list of whose names could be obtained from a relative of his. Josiah Field stated that he could recollect the names of several. There was one named Richard, one John, another William, and another Martin. The old gentleman then inquired whether Josiah Field had any certain in formation as to the family relationship between Robert Field, of Flushing, and Zechariah Field who emigrated to Boston some years earlier than Robert Field's settlement at Flushing? Josiah Field replied that he had not, but that there was a tradition that had come down through the families of the Flushing Fields, that Zechariah Field was related to Robert, but not so near as first cousin ; that they were descendants from the same stock within a few generations, he had no doubt. The old gentleman then informed Josiah Field that he was of the Massachusetts branch of the Field family, and that the information now obtained (if reliable) settled a very important question, which had rested in his mind for a great length of time — that is, whether Zechariah Field was a descendant of John Field, the astronomer; that if it were fully established that Robert Field was the grandson of Matthew, and that Matthew had a brother John, he was perfectly satisfied that both Zechariah and Robert were the descendants of John Field, the astronomer, the former his grandson, the latter his great-grandson: for he well remembered, when he was a boy, hearing a conversation between his grandfather and two still older members of the Field family, in which they all agreed as a settled matter of fact, that the father of Zechariah Field and the grandfather of Robert Field, of Flush ing, were brothers, and that the name of the father of Zachariah was John. Josiah Field remaked that the information respecting the ancestors of Robert Field, of Flushing, might be relied on as beyond question ; that an original account of the transactions of Robert Field in the settlement of Flushing, including a notice of his ancestors, was deposited with the records of the town of Flushing, where they remained more than a hundred years, when unfortunately, in the year 1780, the building in which they were deposited, with all its contents, was destroyed by fire. Much valuable information was thus irretrievably lost But the descendants of Robert Field, or at least some of them, had, for their own satisfaction, obtained from these records a list of their ancestors, back to John Field, the astronomer. These lists were very defective on some accounts, containing little more than the names of the parties, with the years of their birth, not furnishing any account of their occu pations, and in many instances no date as to the time of their death. These omis sions continued to about the year 1700. The old gentleman, on leaving, said he would call again in a few days, when he would like to obtain a memorandum of the ancestors of Robert Field, and that, in return, he could fumish some interesting accounts of the Massachusetts branch of the Field famUy. He left his card, and stated that he was residing temporarUy with a friend ot his in Harlem, whose place he described with an intimation that he would be gratified with a call from Josiah Field, if he should at any time be in that vicinity. 112 FIELD GENEALOGY. Josiah Field was anticipating a call trom his old friend but new acquaintance for some weeks, but he did not make his appearance. Josiah Field finally called on a relative of his, to go with him to Harlem, and look after him. On reaching the place, they leamed that the old gentleman had a day or two previously gone to Troy, to spend a few days, with the intention of returning very soon. He, however, never did return. He died suddenly either at Troy or on his way back. Josiah Field mislaid his card, but was pretty certain the old gentleman's name was Henry Field. Josiah Field died some years since at about the age of eighty-four years. STATEMENT OF GEORGE CORLIES. George Corlies was born in 1754. A large part of his life he spent in New York. Mr. Richard Field says that he came to New York in 1811, and knew Corlies almost from that time. Thirty-five years ago he was still living, and was well known. He was a mason, but a man of more than ordinary intelligence, and ot most respectable character. Statement of George Corlies, in relation to information obtained from an old lady of the Field family, a resident of Newtown, L. I., in the year 1842, at which time she was over ninety years old. Her name was Margaret Smith, formerly Field. She was the widow of Isaac Smith, and grand-daughter of Elnathan Field, who was son of Robert Field, Jr., of Newtown, L. 1., and grandson of Robert Field, of Flushing. The information obtained was from her replies to certain written queries furnished Mr. Corlies by Richard Field, principally in relation to his lineal ancestors, with but little regard to their collateral branches. The information elicited was taken down at the time by Mr. Corlies, in writing. She said she was born in Flushing, and that her grandfather was a grandson of Robert Field, one of the first proprietors of that town. That in early life she spent much ot her time at her grandfather's, who was excessively fond of talking about his ancestors ; and she heard him so frequently repeat accounts of their early his tory, that she could remember, with g^reat distinctness, many items of information which, he said, he obtained directly from his grandfather, Robert Field. Among these were the following: That his (R. F.'s) father's name was James Field, and that his grandfather's name was Matthew Field, and thatMatthew had no less than seven brothers ; that these brothers and their children had become widely scattered, many of them having left Ardsley previously to Robert Field's coming to America; that Matthew and all his brothers were born in Ardsley, to which place their father, John Field, had removed about the times of his marriage, having previously been a resident of London, where he was born about the year 1525, and where he resided between thirty and forty years ; and it is was there that he published his astrono mical works. She further said that she remembered distinctly that Matthew Field had a brother John, whose son, Zaccheus,* emigrated to this country, according to the statement of Robert Field, about a dozen years before he did, and that he came out to the Bay State, where he remained but a short time. At the time of the arrival of Robert Field he was residing somewhere in the colony of Connecticut She also stated that Matthew's brother WiUiam had two sons, who came to this * Zaccheus— doubtless Zachariah. On this Mr. Richard Field observes: "There can be no reasonable doubt that Corlies misunderstood the name given by the old lady, or that she inad vertently miscalled it, as she fixes the time and place of emigration precisely corresponding with that of Zachariah; and it would be a perfect absurdity to suppose that there could have been two persons of so nearly the same name, arriving in Boston about the same time, and that nobody to this day should ever have heard of it. The account of the emigration of the two sons of Mat thew Field's brother William I also consider perfectly reliable, confirmed, as it is, by the fact that two brothers of corresponding names are known to have arrived in Rhode Island just about the t;ime designated in this account." FIELD GENEALOGY. 113 country very soon after their cousin Zaccheus ; that^they came to Rhode Island and Providence Plantations ; that one of these sons was named after his father, and the other after his grandfather. She related many anecdotes in_relation to family mat ters, which are of little interest at this time. George Corlies died about the year 1847, at about the age of ninety-three years. These testimonies create a probability, amounting', to" moral certainty. In establishing the fact of one's ancestry, we can have^but two sources of knowledge —record and tradition — the possession of authentic documents,"duly recorded at the time, and preserved from generation to generation, |and a'continuous family tradi tion, unbroken by any missing links, and uncontradicted by^evidence of an opposite character. Here we have both. So far as tradition is concerned, the evidence seems to be complete, and it is confirmed by family records, which, if not as formid able as title-deeds in an office of registry, are yet most valuable sources of informa tion. These combined proofs can hardly leave a doubt in the minds of the several branches of the Field Family in America, that they are descended from John Field, the astronomer.* 147. ENSIGN BENJAMIN FIELD, (Robert, WiUiam, Christopher, John, Christopher, John, Richard, Thomas, Adam, Richard, Roger), b. about 1640, Flushing, L. I. ; m. ; m. 2d, Sarah ; d. in 1734 in Flushing. Benjamin Field, presumably the third son ot the emigrant.^was appointed ensign for Flush ing by Nicoll, the Governor of New York, on April 22, 1665. He is named in the Flushing patents of Feb. 16, 1666, and of 1685, and was a juror at the Court of Assizes in 1669. On March 22, 1671, he conveyed by deed to John Bowne his "two shares ot fresh meadows, being Nos. 34 and 42." His death is recorded as follows in the register of the Society of Friends ot Flushing: "Benjamin Field of Flush ing, and ancient friend, dyed the ist of the loth mo. 1732." His age must have been at least between 87 and 90. He lett a widow, Sarah, whose will was dated the 26th ot ninth month, 1732, only a few days before her husband died, but it ap pears from the register referred to that she survived him. The entry of her death is as follows: "Sarah Field, widow of Benjamin Field of Flushing, dyed 1734." The day and month are not given; but it must have been early in 1734, as her wiU was proved March 20th of that year. She styles herself in it, ' 'wife of Benjamin Field of Flushing," and appoints him one of her executors, another being her grandson William Doughty. Two other grandsons are mentioned — William March and Henry March. Apparently Benjamin and Sarah Field left no male descend ants. It was probably after the death of the emigrant, and during the lifetime of his sons, that the family became members of the Society of Friends. It is pretty evident that they had not joined it when Benjamin was appointed ensign in 1665, considering that the society does not allow its members to undertake military duties. George Fox, who is looked upon by many as the real founder of this sect, visited Flushing in 1672, and, whUe there, was the guest of John Bowne at the old mansion already referred to. Meetings of the members were held — first at this _ * Slight facts sometimes lend strong confirmation to what has been established by presump tive evidence. Such is the following; — Conversing some years since with the late Hon. Richard iPiem, of Princeton, N. J., at one time United States Senator from that State, and afterwards udge of the United States District Court, on being shown the arms printed elsewhere e was at once struck with the resemblance to a seal which had been in his family for genera tions. Both the arms and the crest were exactly the same in every particular. On one side of the seal were the initials R. F., whioh were undoubtedly those of Robert Field, of Flushing, from whom the New Jersey Fields are descended. How came Robert Field in possession of this very peculiar crest, which had been given to but one man in England? Plainly, because he was * direct descendant. This strongly confirms the fact, which we believe to be tully proved from other sources, that the Flushing and New Jersey Fields— and hence, according to the testimon- ^^s here given, the other families in this country also — are descended from the same ancestor, and can claim kindred by right of inheritance of the same illustrious name. 114 FIELD GENEALOGY. house, and afterwards in the open air, sometimes in the woods, and secretly, on account of the persecutions to which they were exposed. Fox is represented to have been a man possessing great natural eloquence, and under his preaching the leading inhabitants of Flushing and neighborhood became Friends, and among these, probably, the Fields, most of whom continued to be members of the Society for nearly a century and a half, while some are at the present day.

The history of Deerfield extends back to 1663. when Eliot, the apostle to the Indians, obtained a grant from the General Court ot 2,000 acres of land, now within the bounds of Natick, as a permanent settlement tor his Indian converts. This tract was then within the boundaries of Dedham, and, as a compensation to the proprietors of that town, the General Court gave them 8,000 acres of unlocated land, anywhere they might choose, within the colony. The Dedham proprietors having entered into this agreement, sent out a committee to explore the country, and make a selection for the location of the grant. Their exploration extended over the western part of the county of Middlesex, and the eastern part of the county of Worcester, bul they were not satisfied with the land they found, and thus re ported. Soon after this the selectmen of Dedham were informed that there was some very good land, about 12 miles north of Hadley, where the 8,000 acres might be located ; whereupon they dispatched John Fairbanks and Lieut. Daniel Fisher, "to discover the land, and examine it." They reported favorably, and urged that it should be taken possession of under the grant, as early as possible. The town then chose a committee to repair to Pocomtuck, the Indian name of the locality, and to cause the 8,000 acres to be located there. In 1665, this committee employed Major Pynchon of Springfield to draw the boundary line of the tract, which he did, as foUows: Commencing near Deerfield river, a little west of the present Cheap- side bridge, he continued southerly nearly on a line now defined by the Connecticut River Railroad to the Hatfield line, thence westerly on the Hatfield line, which was about a mile and three-quarters south of the present south line of Deerfield, to the foot of the western hills ; thence, northerly, in a course parallel to those hills to Deerfield river, near "Old Fort"; thence on the river, to the point of departure. The tract was purchased of the Indians by Major Pynchon, and conveyed in four deeds, the consideration for the sale being £<)^ i8s., paid by the people of Dedham.

Joseph Field, son of Zechariah and Mary, b. in Hartford, Conn., in 1658; came with his father in 1663 to Hatfield. He was one of the forty engagers who signed the agreement, April 13, 1714, to settle the town of Swampfield (now Sunderlahd), and in the division ot lots he had No. 12, on the east side of the street. In 1720 he removed to Northfield, and in the spring of 1726 he sold and removed to Northamp ton, but returned the same year to Sunderland, where he died Feb. 15, 1736. He is mentioned in the town records as Sargeant Joseph Field. He married, ist, June 28, 1683, Joanna, daughter ot John Wyatt, of Hartford, Conn., b. 1663; d.

Sept. 8, 1664, and died in Northfield March 15, 1751, aged eighty-seven. Sunderland was originally a plantation bearing the name of Swampfield. It was granted to inhabitants of Hadley, in May, 1673, and included within its limits the town of Leverett, the principal part of Montague, and a part of Wendell — set off from Montague after its incorporation. The original limits extended north from the mouth of Mohawk Brook, being the northwest corner of Hadley. to the mouth of Little Brook, opposite the mouth of Deerfield river, and easterly "out into the woods six miles from the Great river." Subsequently a grant, two miles in width, was added at the east, caUed "the two-mile addition." A settlement was made upon the territory soon after the grant, but King Philip's war broke it up, the Indians burnt their buildings, and the clearings grew up with brush. It is said that when the second settlement was made, a bass-wood tree, about one foot in diameter, had grown in the fire-place of one of the houses, that an appletree, set out by the first settler, on the present home lot of Rufus Russell, was found large and thrifty, and that the same tree has lived until within a few j^ears. Very little information can be obtained in regard to this settlement of 1674. When the settlers of just forty years atterward (1714) took possession, they found buildings in ruins, and trees growing amongst them. There was originally a continuous settlement of "weekwams" on what is called "the island," running north and south, and crossing the east home lots, about halt the distance from the present street to the hUl at the east end of those lots.

The parents of Daniel not given, but he is supposed to be brother to Ruth and Hannah. — Plymouth county probate.) 1 find in the land records of Providence, in book No. 2, a deed of gift from John Field, of Bridgewater, Mass., to his four nephews, the children of his brother, Zackrey, of certain lands formerly belonging to his honored father, John Field, of Providence, dated 1695.

Oct. 31, 1688, he and wife Sarah deeded land to John Mathewson. Sept 12, 1693, his widow ap peared before the town council and desired settlement of her husband's estate. She presented inventory and administration was given her and John Thornton. Aug. 13, 1695, complaint was made by John Thornton and his father, John Thornton, Sr., desiring council to take care of children of Zachery Field, that they may be bound out to good places and educated. The council thereupon ordered the mother to look up good places for three eldest boys. Sept. 17, 1695, the widow informed the council that she had bound out her sons Zachariah and John to Nathaniel Waterman, and James to Solomon Thornton. Feb. 4, 1696, her administration was taken away from her and given solely to John Thornton, because she wasted the estate and did not improve it as it ought to be, and had not appeared before council and was "refractory in her actings." On the same date the council ordered that Daniel Field be put out to Nicholas Sheldon till of age. March 31, 1714, will proved.

I. ; m. May 29, 1692, Experience Allen. Benjamin Field was born in Newtown, L. I., and went to Shrewsbury, and later, about 1690, to Chesterfield, N. J. Tradi tion has it that he was accompanied by Peter Harvey and Lawrence Miller, and all journeyed through the province with their families carrying their effects m a wheelbarrow. This may have been true of the others, but not of Mr. Field, for he was not married until 1692. They all settled close together near the site of the present city of Bordentown. Field was possessed of some means, was a good busi ness man and was much respected and esteemed by the Friends. In 1697-98 he was appointed with Francis Davenport to contract with the builders for the building ot a stable at the Crosswick's Meeting House. He was frequently appointed on other business committees. Res., Flushing, L. I., and Shrewsbury and Chesterfield, N.J. 267. i. ROBERT, b. June 6, 1694; m. Mary Taylor. 268. ii.

[Osgood Field, Esq., of London.] Although it has been supposed that the Fields of New Jersey, or rather that some branches of them, are descended from the Flushing family, as far as the writer is aware no positive proof of this has hitherto been forthcoming. Several circumstances have been known tending to show an early connection between the Long Island Fields and that State, but they do not afford the evidence of this rela tionship which the genealogist should require. Savage says in his Dictionary that Robert Field, of Newtown, a patentee of Flushing in 1645, had a son, John, who removed to Boundbrook, N. J. I do not know on what authority this statement is made. In it the writer confuses the emigrant with his son Robert of Newtown, while the John referred to was probably the son of Anthony and grandson of the first settler. Accuracy cannot always be expected in a work of so extensive a character ; however, that portion of the notice which is more intimately connected with the subject of this article, js partly confirmed by the record at Albany of a grant by Gov. Andros to John Field of a patent for land on Delaware Bay, called "Field's Hope." The date does not appear, but it must have been between 1674 and 1681, the extent of Andros' term. I may add that the latest notices 1 find of John Field at Flushing are in the valuation of estates there in 1683, and the patent of 130 FIELD GENEALOGY. 1685. His name does not appear among the witnesses to marriages there in the family commencing in 1689; nor is he mentioned in the list of the inhabitants of the town in 1698. It is not improbable that he removed to New Jersey before these dates, and he may be the same individual as the one named in the family record of an old Bible, noticed in the Register for April, i868, who had a son born in 1698. Among the papers preserved at the old Bowne house in Flushing, are three letters from B. Field to Samuel Bowne of that town, dated at Chesterfield, N. J., respectively 1700, 1701 and 1702, relating to purchases of land at Salem and else where in that neighborhood, in which they both were interested. The writer's Christian name was doubtless Benjamin, as I know of no other members of the family, then living, with the same initials. One of them commences, dear friend," and before the signatures of all are the words "thy friend," from which I infer that they were not written by Benjamin Field, the son of Anthony, who married Samuel Bowne's sister Hannah, as other expressions would probably have been used in addressing one so nearly connected with the writer. We may suppose that Bowne's correspondent was residing at Chesterfield from the fact of all these being written there at considerable intervals of time, and also because it appears from one that the writer's wife was with him, and we know that the Benjamin spoken of remained at Flushing and died there in 1732. There were two other members of the Long Island Fields of the same name, who attained their majority before 1700 — one the son of the emigrant who is named in the Flushing patent of 1665-66, and the other a grandson of Robert of Newtown. The first of these Benjamins must have been nearly 60 years of age at the date of these letters, and they are apparently written by a younger man. In the one dated 26th, 5th month, 1701, the writer says, "remember duty to my mother." The emigrant left a widow. Charity,* who was living in 1672-3, but who probably died long before 1701 ; while we know that his son Robert's widow was then living, as it is stated in the marriage record of his son jNathaniel that it took place "gth day, 5th month, 1701," "at the house of his mother Susannah ffield, widdow." For these reasons 1 am disposed to ascribe the authorship of these letters to Benjamin, son of Robert Field of Newtown, to whom his father deeded land there in 1690, and who probably removed to New Jersey between that date and 1700. It is pleasant to turn from the uncertain inferences derived from the foregoing state ments to a piece of undoubted evidence. The New Jersey family, of which the late Hon. Richard Stockton Field was a distinguished member, have had in their possession tor generations an old triangu lar seal of steel, or iron, believed by them to have belonged originally to Robert Field, the emigrant. It has on on« side the initials R. F., on another a shield with a chevron between three garbs, which are the arms ot the Fields of Yorkshire and Flushing, and on the third the crest granted to a member ot the family in 1558; an arm, issuing from clouds, supporting a sphere. The possession of this relic by the family induced me to apply to Judge Field's daughter for any information she might have of their ancestry, and I am indebted to this lady for the following copy of entries in their old family Bible, which in connection with what is stated below, conclusively prove their descent from the Flushing Fields : "Robert, Field, son to Benjamin and Experience AUen, was b. Jan., 6, 1694. "Mary Field, daughter to Samuel and Susanna Taylor, was b. March 31, 1700. "Robert Field, son to the above Robert and Mary Field, was b. May 9, 1723. Susannah Field, daughter to Robert and Mary Field, was b. Oct 25, 1725. * She describes herself as "widow" in a document she signed Feb. 12, 1672-3, disclaiming any right to "my sone Anthony ffield's Lott."

R. S. Field. Among my extracts from the old records ot the Society ot Friends at Flushing, I find the following: "Benjamin Field and Experience Allen declared intentions of marriage, 2gth, 6th month, 1692." Probably the marriage took place elsewhere, as 1 found no record ot it m the Flushing registers. This Benjamin, who is now shown to be the ancestor of a New Jersey family, could not have been Anthony's son, whose wife Hannah Bowne was married to him in i6gi, and survived till 1707. There were two other members of the family of the name on Long Island at an early date, as already stated, I do not think that this one was the emigrant's son, who was at least 48 years ot age in 1692, and probably several years older, as his brothers Robert* and Anthony had attained their majority in 1653, when their father conveyed land to them. Apparently, he was dead, or had left the neighborhood some little time before this marriage, for according to the Flushing records, two and only two ot the name witnessed the marriage of Robert Field., Jr., of Newtown, in 1689, and ot Samuel Titus,"]" a near connection, in 1691, and the signature of but one is appended to the entry ot that of Benjamin Field and Hannah Bowne in the last named year. As neither styles himself senior or junior, I infer that they were about the same age, and therefore, the two cousins who were grandsons of the emigrant, both ot whom are known to have been residing on Long Island about this time. For a generation after these dates only one Benjamin signs these records. The conclu sions I derived from all these facts are that Benjamin Field, j; son of Robert of New town, was the husband of Experience Allen, and the writer of these letters, and that he removed to New Jersey shortly after his marriage, where he left descendants, as the old Bible clearly shows. 183 J^.

The Register for July, 1864, contained a notice ot a pamphlet by the Rev. Henry M. Field, giv ing an account of the family, which, in the number for April, 1868, was shown to be erroneous. It is stated in this pamphlet that the brothers Robert and Anthony were born respectively in 1636 and 1638. This deed, whose existence has been known to me only recently, proves that the dates of births signed therein to the emigrant's sons are at least six years too late. t Samuel Titus, born in 1658, was a son of Edmund and brother of Phebe, the wife ot Rob ert Field, Jr., of Newtown. t His sister Susannah and "Isaac Merrit of Burlington in West Jersey," declared inten tions of marriage in 1699. 132 FIELD GENEALOGY. ing, b.

Benjamin Field of Flushing, youngest son in 1690,4 in Flushing, Dec. i, 1732, described in record as "an ancient friend." His third wife, whom he m. at Flushing, April 13, 1727, was Sarah Taylor, widow. Her will, dated Nov. 26, 1732, proved March 20, 1734, leaves her property to her grandsons Doughty and March. Among other papers preserved at the old Bowne house is the draft of the fol lowing letter from Hannah Bowne to her parents. It bears no date, but was no doubt written in 1690, for in that year her father lost his second wife, Hannah Bick- erstaffe, and did not marry his third, Mary Cock, till 1693: "And dear father and mother, I may also acquaint you that one Benjamin Field, the youngest son ot my friend Susannah Field, has tenderd his love to me — the question he has indeed pro posed as concerning marriage the which as yet I have not at present rejected nor given much way to, nor do I intend to proceed nor let out my affection too much towards him till I have well considered the thing and have yours and friends' ad vice and consent concerning it." The writer of this letter was Hannah, daughter of John Bowne, and his first wife Hannah, daughter of Robert FeakSjOr^gg]^Sj_as it was sometimes spelt. This Peaks married Elizabeth Pones, grandSaughter of Adam Winthrop of Groton, and widow of her cousin Henry, son of John Winthrop, first governor of Massachusetts. Hannah Bowne was bom in 1665, according to the Friends' register, and her mar riage entry in it occurs the year after the supposed date of her letter. It reads: "Benj. Field, son of Anthony Field of Long Island, deceased, and Hannah Bowne, daughter of John Bowne of Long Island, aforesaid married 30th, gth, 1691, at John Bowne's in Flushing." At the old Bowne house is a deed of land by Benjamin Field to Samuel Bowne, dated gth, i:2th month, i6g6-97. In a list of the inhabitants of Flushing in 1698 is the foUowing: "Benj. Feild and Hannah his wife, children Benj., John, Anthony, and Sam'l, negroes Jo and Betty." At the same mansion two or three letters are preserved, dated at Chesterfield in 1700 and 1701, signed B. Field, and addressed to Samuel Bowne. They relate to purchases of land in that neighborhood, in which they were both interested. One of them speaks of "another purchase of land to the quantity of 1,000 to 1,500 acres," which "lyes above the falls of Delaware, about 10 or 11 miles from Salem." This Samuel Bowne was son of John and Hannah, and born in 1667. It has been stated that there were three Benjamin Fields living at the date of these letters; but they were doubtless written by the son of Anthony, who was the brother-in-law of the person to whom they were addressed. One of them commences, "Dear and loving friend and kinsman Samuel Bowne."

Hannah Field died shortly after the birth of the last child, as shown by this entry: "Hannah Field, wife of Benjamin Field, of Flushing, died 30th day, loth mo., 1707." Her husband married again a lady who must have been a near relative of his first wife and her mother. This marriage is thus entered in the register: "Benjamin Field and Elizabeth Peaks, daughter of John Peaks, of Matinecock, married the 3rd day of 12th mo., 1709-10, at Jericho." Her death is recorded as fol lows: "Elizabeth Field, wife of Benjamin Field of Flushing, died 1724." As far as FIELD GENEALOGY. 133 271. n. 272. in. 273- IV. 274. V. 275.

Robert Feake was at Watertown, Mass., as early as 1630 and represented that town in the Massachusetts Court of Deputies many years. He came to Flushing in 1650, and died in 1668 at an advanced age. He m. EUzabeth, daughter of Thomas Fones, of London, and Anne, his wife, who was daughter of Adam Winthrop, of Groton, Suffolk, and sister of John Winthrop, governor of the Massachusetts colony. Elizabeth Fones was first married to her cousin Henry Winthrop, son of the governor, who was drowned at Salem about a year after. A little later she became the wite of Robert Feake, by whom she had a daughter, Hannah, who married John Bowne, of Flushing, and another, Elizabeth, the second wife of Captain John Un derbill. Robert Feake survived his wife Elizabeth, and married again ; for admin istration on his estate was granted to his widow, Sarah, the 19th June, 1669. Mount Feake, at Waltham, was named after this Robert. He res. in Flushing, L. I. 270. i. BENJAMIN, b. Feb. 5, 1692-93, in Friends' Records, of Flushing; m. Feb. 13, 1727, at Flushing, Sarah Tayler.

JOHN FIELD (Anthony, Robert, WiUiam, Christopher, John, Christo pher, John), b. Flushing, L. I., May 15, 1659; m. Margaret ; she d. before 1729. John Field was at Flushing at an early period. There is a person of this name among those who took the oath of aUegiance in a list without date, and with no place named. As the province of New York was definitely ceded by the Dutch to the English in 1674, I do not think that it could have been later. There is also among the Albany records an entry referring to a tract of land granted by Gov ernor Andros to John Field. No date is mentioned, but it must have been between 1674 and 1681, which years embrace Andros' tenure of this office. The record com mences : ' ' Whereas there is a certain parcel of land, which by my order hath been laid out for John Field, called by the name of Field's Hope, situated in a creek called Maspillan Creek, and on the east side of said creek, and on the west side of Delaware Bay, etc., etc., etc." In the valuation of estates at Flushing in 1683, John Field had "5 acres, 2 cowes, and 4 swine." He is named in the patent confirma tion of this town in 1685. The records of the Society of Friends at Flushing are pretty complete from about this date, and there are the names of a number of wit nesses to every later marriage ot a member of the tamily, but his does not appear among them. The author infers from this that he either died, or left the neighbor hood, in or shortly after 1685. In the latter case he may have been the grantee of "Field's Hope," and removed there. The American Bible Society possesses an old Bible presented to it by the Hon. Peter D. Vroom, of Trenton, N. J., which has the following: "Jeremiah Feild, the son of John Field and Margaret his wife, was bom May 17th, i68g." On Dec. 14, i6g5, John Field, of Flushing, purchased ten hundred and fifty-five acres of land fronting the Raritan river t>elow Bound Brook, N. J. He purchased his Raritan lands from Benjamin Clarke. The deed is recorded in Book G. of Deeds, folios i88-i8g-i90-igi, Trenton. N. J. This land is still in possession of some of his descendants. He was commissioned a justice of the peace, Feb. 14, 1710, for the counties of Middlesex and Somerset, N. J. In The Name of God Amen.

THOMAS FIELD (Benjamin, Robert, William, Christopher, John, Chris topher, John), b, about 1674; m. Hannah , b. 1680; d. Feb. 2, 1761. Thomas Field, who was named among the inhabitants of Flushing in 169S, and was then single, had i»sue according to the Friends' register. The marriages ot some of these children are entered in the Flushing registers, viz: On the loth of the 12th month, 1725-6, Nathan Field, "son of Thomas and Hannah Field of Flushing," and Elizabeth Jackson, daughter of James and Rebecca Jackson, were married. "John Clarke and Sarah Field, daughter of Thomas of Fkshing were married 3d day of 2d mo. 1735." "Joseph Field, son of Thomas and Hannah and Mary Rod man, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth, married the i6th of 6th mo. 1750." The last couple had a son, Rodman Field, born on the 2d day of 8th mo. 1751. The mother, Mary Field, died 23d of same month, "aged about 22." The death of the father of these children is entered in the registers as follows: 'Thomas Field de ceased the 3rd day of ist mo. 1761, aged about 87." This would make the date of his birth about 1674. His wife's death is recorded immediately after, this: "Han nah Field, his widow, died the 2d day of 2d mo. 1761, aged about 81. They had been married and lived together near sixty years." The author has already stated that he is unable to say who was the father of this Thomas. The most plausible suggestion he can offer is, that he was son of Benjamin Field, the son of the emigrant who was appointed ensign for Flushing in 1665, and by a first wife. It is pretty evident from the wUl ot his widow Sarah, that she left no child; but she may have been the second wife, and perhaps her husband had issue by a previous one. 136 FIELD GENEALOGY. 282. u. 283. iii. 284. iv. 285.

Her friends made every effort to have them both remain, and Pedajah urged them to come to Northfield and live with him. Her husband was willing, but Mary was not, as she had become so firmly attached to her Indian mode of life that she could not be persuaded to stay among her friends. She told her brother Pedajah that he should be captured and taken to Canada, and he firmly believed the attempt was made one day while hewas mowing in a little meadow; which was only frustrated by his taking the alarm and crossing the river to Pachang, where other men were at work. He used every precau tion to prevent a surprise, but was not molested afterwards. It seems strange that persons can be so infatuated with such a mode of life. It is not know whether she had any children. Nothing more is known of Mary or her husband. 303. ii. JOHN, b. Oct. 4, 1700, was captured by the Indians; returned and m. Anna . 304. iii. SARAH, b.

The first town meeting to organize in the town of Amherst was held at his bouse, Dec. 31, 1734, but was not organized until 1739. His name is the first that appears on the town tecords. Amherst was originally a part of Hadley. At a legal town meeting, in Hadley, March 4, 1700, it was "voted by the town that three miles and one quarter eastward from the meeting house, and so from the north side of Mount Holyoke unto the Mill river, shall lye as common land forever, supposing that the line will take in the new swamp. Voted that the rest of the commons eastward shall be laid out in three divisions, that is to say, bdween the road leading to Brookfield and the Mill river, notwithstanding there is liberty for the cutting of wood and timber so long as it lieth unfenced; there is likewise to be left between every division forty rods for highways, and what will be necessary to be left for highways, eastward and west through every division is to be left to the discretion of the measurers, and every one to have a proportion in the first and second division, and every one to have a pro portion in the third division, and every householder to have a 50-lbb. allotment, and all others who are now the proper inhabitants of Hadley, sixteen years old and upwards, to hav a 25-lbb. allotment in said commons." In accordance with this order the most of this land was laid out in April, 1703, by Capt. Aaron Cook, Capt. Nehemiah Dickinson and Mr. Samuel Porter, town measurers. The precise date of the settlement of these lands is not known. A Mr. Foote, probably from Hatfield, is said to have built a shanty in the east part of the town prior to 1703. The loca tion was a little north of the east Parish meeting house. He chose the spot, think ing that he could subsist there by hunting and fishing, but failing to do so, he left, and, in commemoration of his tolly, the east part of the town was for many years called "Foote-foUy Swamp." On the 5th of January, 1730, the town of Hadley appointed men to lay out a burial place for the "East inhabitants." Zechariah d. Res. Amherst, Mass. EBENEZER, b. Aug. 8, 1709; invalid. Res. Conway.

He was one of the twenty-two men who came from Hatfield, that were engaged in the Meadow fight in the unsuccessful attempt to rescue the pris oners taken at the destruction of Deerfield by the French and Indians, Feb. 29, 1704. He was wounded in a fight with Indians, Aug. 25, 1725, near where the pres ent depot in Greenfield now stands. A deacon and prominent man in town. He was granted by the general court, in 1736, 200 acres of land on the east line of Northfield, probably for military services. He married Mary, daughter of Joseph Edwards, of Northampton, and widow of David Hoyt, Jr., who was one of the nine men killed in the Meadow fight in trying to rescue the prisoners. On Aug^ust 25, Deacon Samuel Field, Deacon Samuel Childs, Sergt.

Crossing North Meadows, and the river, north of Pine Hill, up through Cheapside until the present town line was crossed, when a cow they were driving ran out of the path. She was followed by Deacon Childs, who soon discovered Indians in ambush, and gave the alarm, when they arose, The following is from an manu script account of the affair by Rev. Stephen Williams, about 1730: Aug. 25, 1725, Deacon Samu Field, Deacon Samu Child, Sergt Joseph Sev erance, John Wells, Joshua Wells and Thomas Bardwell, went over Deerfd river to go to Green river farms, and they took a cow with them, designing to put her in a pasture; the Indians ambushed them, but Deacon Child, driving the cow, discov ered them.and cried out, "Indians!" John Wells discharged his gun at an Indian, who fell upon his fireing. Dea Field, being at some distance trom the company, rode towards them, but the company being before separated from one another, re treated towards the mill, and at a considerable distance from the hill they haltd, jt John WeUs might load his g^in, and then the Indians fird upon them, and wound Dea Samu Field, the ball passing through the right Hypocondria, cutting off three plails of the mysenteice; a gut hung out of the wound in length almost two inches, which was cut offi even with the body ; the bullet passing between the lowest and the next rib, cutting at its going forth part of the lower rib. His hand being close to his body when ye ball came forth, it entered at the root of the heel of ye thumb, cutting the bone of the forefinger, resting between the fore and second finger ; was cut out, and all the wounds through the blessing of God upon means were healed in less than five weeks by Dr. Thomas Hastings, whose death since ye war is a great frown upon us, etc. He d.

She m., 2d, June 25, 1750, Deacon Samuel Childs. She died March 21, 1752. Zechariah Field, son of Samuel and Sarah (Gilbert), was born in Hatfield, Mass. He came to Deerfield in 1710. He removed in the spring of 1717 to Northfield, where he died. He was chosen ensign in December, 1717, after Lieut Thomas Taylor was drowned, subsequently chosen Lieut, and in 1743, captain. In 1718 En sign Zechariah Field built mills on Miller's brook, which were held by his heirs for many years. He builta house on his home lot, which was finished in 1724. In the spring of 1724 a mount was built at his house, which was brick lined, for a guard against Indian attacks. Upon the organization of the town, Jan. 15, 1723, he was chosen first selectman, and afterward generally held some important town office. In 1739 he purchased, in company with Orlando Bridgman, for ;£'5oo, of Colonel Stoddard, of Northampton, his farm of 100 acres in little meadow. He soon purchased Mr. Bridgman's share, and the place is known in modem times as the Field farm, and was lately owned and occupied by one of his descendants, Thomas J. Field. He was in the meadow fight, in Deerfield, in the attempt to rescue the captives, Feb. 29, 1704. He purchased, in 1720, of Pompanoot, son of Wawelet, 30,000 acres on Miller's river, at Payuayag (now Athol), for which he paid twelve pounds, being the balance of all the desirable land claimed by the Indians as original proprietors. His own petition to Governor Belcher best tells the story: ' 'To His Excellency Jona Belcher, "It being represented to me that it would be for the interest of this Govemment to purchase the right of Pompanoot son of and heir to Wawelet one of the Chiefs among the Indians, of and in a large tract of land lying upon Millers River so called at a place caUed Payuayag (Athol) of the contents of about 30,000 acres, bounded upon large falls on said river easterly, extending seven miles down the river run ning four miles southerly from ye sd. river, and two miles northerly. And' your 142 FIELD GENEALOGY. memorialist being intimately acquainted with the said Pompanoot, and consider ing that if the landshould not be bought of him before the English begun to make some settlement and build upon the sd land, he would afterwards demand a much higher price, than if bought before such improvement. ' 'Your memorialist for the good of the country bought the sd land of sd Indian in the year 1720 for an inconsiderable sum, viz. twelve pounds, which is now of great worth. And the sd land by the authority of the Great and General Court has been lately granted for a Township to the English inhabitants. Though your petitioner has it under the hand of a great number of Indians that the sd land was the right of the said Pompanoot by virtue of a gift from his honored father Wawelet, yet is entirely satisfied that this grant of the Court should take place provided he be recompensed for the ;£'i2 advanced, with interest, or receive a part of said land. Northfield April 1733. Zechariah Field." In consideration of the aforesaid purchase, the general court allotted him for his trouble and money advanced, 800 acres of the land, which by running ot town lines tell mostly in New Salem. The general court afterward granted the same land to other parties, regardless of the first agreement. But being determined to maintain his rights, he was allotted land enough by the general court as they considered an equivalent, m Buckland, after several years had elapsed from the first allottment. He never considered he received an equivalent for his money and services, besides the an noyance of following up officials. He married Sarah, daughter of Philip and Sarah (Hawks) Mattoon, of Deerfield, born April 25, 1687. She was one of that miserable company captured at Deerfield, Feb. 29, 1704, and was carried to Canada. After suffering incredible hardship she was ransomed and returned the next year. She was allowed by the probate court a share of the property of Mathew Clesson, who was killed in a fight with Indians in the meadow in 1709, she being engaged in marriage to him. He removed to Northfield in 1714. He paid the largest tax there in 1717, and the third largest in 1729. In 1729 he bought for ^550 the land now known as the Field farm, at Northfield Farms. He held more land than anyone in town in 1733. That year he was granted by the general court 800 acres near Athol, in return for a purchase of 30,000 acres, bought from the Indians, in 1720, for ^12, which shrewd purchase was not confirmed by the court. In 1717 and later was an ensign, ranging against the Indians ; a militia captain in 1743; selectman in 1721, 1733 and 173S-42; town treasurer in 1739-41; a leading man in the church. In 1715 Zechariah Field was appointed surveyor of highways, and the follow ing year a fence viewer. In 1716 he was on a committee "to inspect the minister's house, the building of the same and to appoint and procure workmen and materials, and take an account of all service and expense about said building, and render their account to said committee and by them allowed." In 1733 when it was well assured that Northfield was to stand, men who had ready cash began to invest it in lands in and around the plantation. Ensign Zechariah Field made a wholesale purchase. In 1717 he was chosen ensign in place of Thomas Taylor, who was drowned, and succeeded in command. June 7 of this year he purchased the home-lot of Thomas Leffing^well and wife, Mary. In 1723 he purchased the homestead of his brother's (Ebenezer's) heirs. In 1723, when the plantation was incorporated into a town, Mr. Field was elected one of the first selectmen. In 1724 the govemor directed the forts at Northfield to be examined and repaired at once. By March 5 the Zech ariah Field fort and mount were finished. The mounts were square towers, from fourteen to twenty feet high, fitted up for a sentry. Zechariah Field was sergeant FIELD GENEALOGY. 143 in Captain Dwight's company in 1725. It often had engagements with the Indians on the frontier. The total amount of pay and subsistence of this company from May ig to November 16 was ;^i,i39 4s. 5d. Part of the time the company was at Fort Dummer. In 1729, in a rate for defraying the town and county charges levied on the polls and real and personal estates, Zechariah Field paid the third largest tax in a list of nearly fifty. In 1731, in a division of lots. Ensign Field chose on lot below the first Beer's mountain, and the other on the plain, against and above Little Meadow. The lat ter was laid out 160 rods long by 10 rods wide. In 1743 Zechariah Field was captain of the Northfield company in Col. John Stod dard's Hampshire regiment of militia. This year the town voted to build four mounts, one at Captain Field's. His house was brick lined, and better for protec tion on this account. Captain Field was selectman 1721-33-38-39-40-41-42. In October, 1672, the territory known by the Indian name of Squakheag, now the town of Northfield, was granted to certain individuals living mostly in North ampton. The grant was a township equal to six miles squ.ire, not to exceed eight miles in length. The condition of the grant was that twenty families should settle within eighteen months. The General Court appointed Lieut. Wm. Clark, Wm. Holton, Lieut. Samuel Smith, Cornet Wm. Allys, and Isaac Graves a committee to lay out the plantation, and superintend the concerns of the proprietors, and it was enjoined upon them to lay out a farm of 300 acres of upland and meadow, for the use of the country, and to settle a minister so soon as twenty families should be gathered. The plantation was laid out the following year, as follows; "Begin ning at a brook called Natanis, at the lower end of a meadow Nattahameongom, or Natanis (now Bennett's meadow), and running up the river eight miles, and extend ing three-fourths of a mile from the river on the west side, and three miles and three-fourths of a mile on the east side." On September 9, 1673, a part ot this territory, with a large additional tract on the west of the river, was purchased of the Indians. Soon after this, and during that year, several settlers from North ampton, Hadley and Hatfield, came in, and built several houses, one of which was fortified. Northfield settlement took place during the inception of King Philip's war. The story of the Indian murders in Squakheag, the slaughter of Captain Beers and his men on their way to that settlement, and the forsaking of the plantation, has been fully told. It was not until after the passage of several years succeeding the conclusion of Philip's war, that the proprietors moved for a new settlement. In 1782, the sur vivors of the original committee, and others, petitioned the General Court that the limits of the Squakheag grant might be extended, so as to bound southerly on Stony, or Four-mile brook. Their petition was granted on condition that forty families should settle in the town within three years ; and as some of the committee had died, a new committee was appointed to take their place. In 1684 the village was laid out upon the same ground, and in the same form, as it now exists. The lots were laid out twenty rods in width, and a reservation was made for highways ten rods in width, through and across the village. In 1685, a number of families returned to the plantation, built a few houses, and erected a. block house. At a meeting of the committee the same year, lots were granted to thirty-two persons, and it was ordered that every person who had sixty acres of interval land should settle two inhabitants upon it. It was agreed also that all the proprietors should be on their lands, with their famiUes, on or before May 10, 1686, or forfeit their 144 FIELD GENEALOGY. grants. Deeds of all the territory and much besides seem to have been given by certain Indians after this. The settlement went on prosperously for a year or two, when, in 1689, came on King WiUiam's war. The settlers saw that their strength was small, that their situation was the most northern in the colony, and thus peculiarly exposed to the incursions of the French and Indians from the north ; and burying their most valu able goods in a well, a few rods south-easterly of the present meeting house, they left their dwellings tenantless, and with their wives and children, fled to Hadley. This withdrawal was destined to be a long one. Queen Anne's war tollowed soon, and it was not until February, 1713, that, in accordance with a petition to the Gen eral Court, of Joseph Parsons, John Lyman and others, the Squakheag grant was revived. The act appointed Samuel Partridge, John Pynchon (the second), Samuel Porter, John Stoddard and Henry Dwight, a committee to determine on the rights of claimants, under the old grant, and to join them with others, preference being given in all cases to the descendants ot the original planters and grantees. The committee were empowered to make their allotments, and required to reserve 250 acres of land to be at the disposition of the govemment. The grant was based on the provision that forty families should be settled within three years, and that they procure and settle a learned and orthodox minister, ' 'the town to be named North- field," and to "lye to the County of Hampshire." On April 14, 1714, sixteen per sons appeared before the committee and proved their claims in the right of their ancestors, and three in their own rights, and entered into articles of agreement. ONE OF DEERFIELD'S ROMANCES.— LOVE STORY TWO CENTURIES OLD. Of the Sack of Deerfield by the Indians in lVO-1, of the Captivity of Sarah Mattoon, of her two Lovers, and of her Return Years After. [Written by Mary Field for the "Sunday, Springfield, Mass., Republican, December 3, 1899.] It was February, 1 704. The snow-clad hills that encircled the frontier town ot Deerfield stood peacefully and solemnly looking down on the broad valley. Sarah Mattoon, a girl ot seventeen summers, had climbed to the top of a low foot-hill near to her father's house, and stood looking over the settlement as it lay shining in the snow. How she loved the winter with its sparkle and cold, its delicate, tender beauty I Surely heaven and earth were never more beautiful than to-night ! Nor was Sarah less than beautiful with her glowing color and deep brown eyes, clad in her simple homespun gown and hood. After a long stint of spinning she had escaped for a few minutes' run over the crust. Shunning the village street, she sped through the home lot to the apple trees on the slope. She sought vainly to find relief from the weight of perplexity and pain that grew and grew within her as she spun. It was but two days since she had promised Matthew Clesson to be his wife, and already those two days were an eternity, — and more terrible. To-morrow he would return from Northampton, and she must meet him. How could she meet him? How could she bear his distress and pain? Dear, good, gentle Matthew, whom she loved so much — yet not enough. "I can never, never explain it in this wide, dreary world !" How dreary and lonely the world seemed to Sarah on a sudden ! The sun was setting in the midst of rising clouds, and the wind grew colder. An oppressive sense of real or fancied danger came over her. Was it so? Were there savages lurking behind those far- off hills, or nearer, close at hand? She was rash to have come so far from the settlement, but misery knows no fear. And danger? What was danger to her woe? But she drew her cloak about her and hurried home, entering the long, low liv- FIELD GENEALOGY. 145 ing room, lit by the glowing wood fire. How the firelight flickered and danced over the brown boards of the walls and floor, gleaming on the great rafters overhead and reflecting a cozy home-like glow on all it touched ! It was supper time, and Sarah was soon busily stirring the bubbling kettle of hominy that hung over the coals, then dipping it out into porringers and bowls and helping the children to pour the precious milk from the great blue pitcher brought through so many perils from safer shores. She went on fulfilling one after another the ceaseless round of evening duties, — seeing that the boys brought in great armfuls of wood, brushing up the broad hearth, turning the settle to the fire and tucking the youngest child into the low red cradle in the corner. At length all was settled and secure for the night. "Sally," said her mother, as she took up her knitting in the chimney corner, "if ye ain't afeer'd o' the dark ye ken go and tell Rebecca I'll be up and help her in the mornin' wi' the weaving. Ye ken stay the night, too, if ye like, and mind to assist Rebecca if ye do. She's frail, poor thing. It's hard on Philip. I alius told him — " Here Sarah interrupted : "I'll go right off, mother, 'twill be dark soon. Good night, mother." And glad to get out again, she undid the great door and stepped forth. She paused a moment on the broad door stone to look at the sky. The stars were few and faint and the rising wind was from the south and chill, and full of eerie whis perings. The bare branches of the trees tossed and creaked in the wind, darkly silhouetted against snow and sky. As Sarah went on a tall figure met her. "Sarah!" — "Zechariah!" There was silence for a moment until the girl said, sharply, "Zechariah Field, what do you here?" "Nay, Sarah, be not so hard. Verily, the fiercest foe is easier met than you in anger. Yet why be angry? I did but pause an instant to cheer my loneliness with the chinks of light between the shutters of your home. Do you know what it is to have no home? Nay, do not interrupt me. Where are you going? I care not. Surely heaven sent you forth to me, waiting so long for speech with you. Do not tum away, why be unkind to me? May I not ask you once in all these weary months why you avoid all friendliness with me? 'Tis strange. 'Tis past all my experience of God's mercies that you should so rebuff me. I, who loved you from the hour I met you yonder on the hill slope as I found my way hither up the great river and across the mountain. Do you recall it, Sarah, that spring day? The sweet pink flowers I'd gathered pleased you then. You were so kind, courteous, yet homelike as a sister in gentleness and spirit Was it nought to you, that meet ing?" Seeking to detain her, the young man seized Sarah's hand. He found her trembling like a slender aspen, and drawing her arm within his led her to the next home lot, where a new house was rising, and made her sit upon a great felled tree. "I must not, I must not!" she protested, striving to go. "No, Sarah — no, you shall not go, you must hear me. The times are ominous and fearful. Who knows what moment we may be set upon, slaughtered, or widely separated? No, dear heart, do not shudder so ; all things are bearable, but two things help to make them so ; the love of God and love of you. Ah, if you love me, Sarah, what is life or death?" But Sarah drew herself deep in her cloak and dropped her head upon her knees and shook with sobs, yet spoke no word. Zechariah bent over her. "And, Sarah, if it be not so; if you have no love in your heart for me, nor ever had, nor wUl have, say so; tell me. I can bear it, and (heaven help me) love you stiU. Ah, is it so? Is my dream with aU its miracle of 146 FIELD GENEALOGY. sweetness but a dream and not the blest reflection of some deeper bond? Sarah — tell nie, tell me truly! Arm me with desperation, if not with love." But no sound broke the silence of the night, save the swaying branches over head rustling in the wind. "Look up, Sarah, speak to me! just one word." In vain she strove to speak, she rose to her feet struggling to overcome her emotion, but Zechariah drew her to him and soothed and hushed her like a little child, until at last she freed herself and said resolutely: — "No, Zechariah, no — I have no right to let you love me. I have told Matthew I would be his wife." Zechariah started with a low cry. "Sarah, — Sarah!" — he turned away, but again returned to her. "And do you love him, Sarah? 1 will be silent if you tell me that" Her breath came quick; without looking up she repeated: "1 have told Mat thew I would be his wife." She turned to go, but Zechariah seized her hand. "You must not go, you shall not leave me so. Your words are arrows, but your voice trembles and breaks with tenderness — for whom? for what? Oh, is it not for me? Think, Speak! I shall be loving you always and ever, and will you not give me one little word of kindness or of pity?" Sarah burst into tears "Pity — pity. Oh, Zechariah! 'tis I who need your pity! May God help us ! My life must be a desert and a waste, with but one gleam of brightness far away— that you have loved me — grudge it not lo me, I will be worthy of it if I live; now I must go." But Zechariah clasped his arms firmly about her. "Not so, Sarah, 'tis not so. You are not Matthew's, you are mine. You love me — 'tis all I ask. No power in heaven or earth should part us. I may be poor and Matthew rich, but " Sarah stopped him. "Oh, Zechariah, you cannot think it that; you do not. Blest were captivity with you to all that England's safest, stateliest home could be without you; oh, my love!" She clung to Zechariah now and her story came bursting forth like some pent- up mountain brook whose splash and foam and hurrying eddies hide its onward course, so overwrought with tears was her tale. "Oh, Zechariah, when you came two years ago, upon that day— but, no — I cannot speak of that — heaven opened with your eyes meeting mine. I loved you from that moment, and I soon knew I loved you, but that you should love me seemed as far away as the blue sky above me. So I strove against it, and rebeUed ; it may be in that struggle 1 was rude to you." "Indeed you were," he broke in; "a wild rose set with thorns I found you, but I loved you all the same. ' ' "Then," Sarah went on, "you drew to Betty, beautiful Betty. We were insep arable, Betty and I— I see it now— but then I did not dream but that 'twas she you sought. I was so miserable, so unhappy, and Matthew aU along was kind, too kind to me, though truth to teU, 1 think 'twas Betty be first loved." "Aye, verily," Zechariah interrupted angrily, "and Mistress Betty, not so shy as you, saw through it all. 'Twas not so difficult tor her to blind your eyes, to throw you and Matthew together, and take the hand held out to you. Ah, but she did forget that I had eyes and that, though they might see the beauty and bloom of the stately damsel, it was the sweet shy rose they dwelt upon." "Yet she loved you," Sarah went on. "Her whole mind was set upon you, that I knew full well. Ah, what an endless struggle did I have to keep my patience FIELD GENEALOGY. 147 and to curb my tongue. Once— once long ago, it flashed over me that it was me you loved. How that brief flash iUumined all my sky ! and yet I would not, could not heed it or believe it. When shall we learn to listen lo those deep-hidden mes sages? Meanwhile, confusion grew among us, Matthew, Betty, you and me; and but one word was plain— to promise Matthew I would be his wife, making his hap piness, helping hers, and perhaps yours; nor did I fancy my misery could be greater till twas done two days ago, since when I have known but torture and slow death — would it were death indeed!" Sarah became silent; Zechariah, deep in thought, did not speak for many min utes. At length he said : — "And can you marry Matthew feeling so? Can you—" she interrupted him. "Nay, Zechariah, nay. I cannot. I but wait his coming to tell him so. I told him I did not, could not love him as I should, as I wished, but he said it mattered not to him ; it would come by and by ! But no, no, 1 should hate him were I wed to him. I'll do him no such wrong, — dear, gentle soul ! But, Zechariah, how can I be yours? Surely, not now." "But, dearest we can wait," he whispered. "Aye, verily I can live for many a weary day glad in the thought that you have loved me all these years, and you will love me still?" Sarah could not speak, she suffered him to draw her to him and kiss her sol emnly, — "sealing thus," he said, "our love tor future time." The curfew was ringing and they hurried reluctantly to the stockade, and Zech ariah left Sarah at her brother's door. It was late before Sarah slept, but at length, youth and health conquered the tumult of thought within her. Her rest was brief. Horrible sounds awoke her, screams of terror, blood-curdling howls, rang in her ears; a fierce red glare lit up the blackness of night and shone into the low-rattered attic where she slept. She sprang up, trembling, yet resolute. Rushing downstairs she roused her brother: — "PhUip! Philip! the Indians — the Indians! Give me your gun! I'll hold the door a moment while you fly with Rebecca and the babe." But as she spoke the heavy door was battered down and a wild horde of Indians entered. Seizing Philip, despite his desperate resistance, they bound him, also Sarah; then tuming to Philip's wife and seeing her unfit for the journey they instantly tomahawked her before her husband's very eyes and their little child like wise. Plundering the house of all they coveted, they set it on fire, dragging Sarah and Philip away to a neighboring house where they gathered men, women and chUdren bound and captive. Here, wild with grief and terror, helpless to aid or alarm, they were forced to witness slaughter and ruin until their hideous captors, satiated and fearful of further delay, summoned them to march unwillingly forth out into the wilderness of snow and ice. Desolate, desperate, scarcely knowing who was living and who dead, they were driven mercilessly onward in the cheerless gray of the morning. Vainly did Sarah search the long, straggling band of captives for Zechariah's erect, fine figure. He was not among them. For a moment she rejoiced, then came a deadly fear that he was slain ; and thus, torn between hope and despair, yet sus tained by invincible courage, she struggled on. When Philip, maddened beyond endurance, became so unmanageable that the Indians murdered him, poor Sarah sank down beside him, ready to share his fate, but the appeal of Mary Field, Zech ariah's uncle's wife, to help her to carry her little son of three years, roused her once more ; and with greatest exertions she succeeded in carrying him until her sav age master, moved by her indomitable pluck, took pity on her and put the child upon the sledges. 148 FIELD GENEALOGY. From Mary Sarah learned of the brave fight Zechariah and his uncle had made to save her and the children, escaping only at the last minute, and sallying forth from the fort after the departing enemy, following them persistently and perilously till summoned back to the defense of the remaining few. Sarah learned, too, of the safety of her own family. Thankful beyond measure, Sarah strove to comfort the poor mother whose baby had been ruthlessly torn from her, and thus cheenng each other as best they could they journeyed on; now many, now few, meeting and part ing some to meet no more. Over the frozen river, along whose icy tracks they moved swiftly, over desolate wooded mountains, through forest and fastness for 300 miles they struggled on. Near the end of the journey Sarah fell in with Betty Hurst, — beautiful Betty, already learning to banter a few French words with the young Canadians, [amusing and subduing her captors with her playful and vain childishness. She greeted Sarah eagerly and soon began talking of Zechariah and Matthew, contrasting them with the gay young Frenchmen. This was too much for Sarah. Matthew took possession of her. Was it for this freakish, fiippant child she had sacrificed her love and bound herself to Matthew? For, stern Puritan that Sarah was, she felt herself bound still to Matthew. How painfully she longed to tell him of her mistake that she might conscientiously love Zechariah ! And now a new terror came over her, Matthew would proclaim her his at home. Indeed, he might venture forth to redeem her. Now despair succeeded to wrath ; she heard Betty's hopeful chatter ot home-going, but vaguely, distantly — to go home would be to face a more fearful dilemma than now confronted her. Thus torn and tossed by miserable thoughts, too rigid to accept any easier view of her curious relations to Matthew, Sarah was led to hide herself among the Indians of the tribe who took her, refusing to avail herself of any chance of exchange or redemption, and becoming gradually an Indian in dress and manners, she acquired much of their self-control and dignity, and grew strong in the free outdoor life and often outdid the squaws in wildwood accomplishments. For five years she dwelt among the Indians, alone and lonely. It chanced one June day at the end of this time that she sat a little apart from the other women. mending a net on the shore of the broad St. Lawrence. The day was cloudless and still. Suddenly a great white river bird rose up from the reeds of the shore and hung for a moment poised over the water close to Sarah. She looked up, startled, and then, entranced by his beauty, she watched his flight upward into the shimmer ing, shining blue, and as he rose up, up, up into the glorious sky, she sprang to her feet, exclaiming: — "Home — home! I must go home!" ,i As if a weight were lifted from her heart, the rushing river, the rising bird, seemed to inspire her. All in one moment she saw the pity of her fate, the desolate years to come, afar from kith and kin, alone among savages. Her eyes were opened anew to the beauty and gladness of the world. The net she was mending dropped from her hand, catching as it fell on wild rose bushes which she now saw encircled the spot where she had been sitting. The blushing blossoms looking up to her brought sweetest memories. Without an instant's pause she sprang to her canoe, and seizing the paddle pushed out and sped away out on to the breast of the great, friendly river. She would trust to its throbbing current and her own strong arm to bear her to Quebec. Once in Quebec she would be safe from pursuit, and but one day's journey should bring her there. So on and on she went, fearful yet brave, revolving many things in her mind as the paddle dipped and redipped to the water. In atter j-ears Sarah never dwelt upon this journey in recounting her adventures. Too much suspense and strain FIELD GENEALOGY. 149 were crowded into those few hours of incessant labor and fear. When at last the great, crown-like city appeared far away in the mists of the morning, joy almost overcame all Sarah's precautions, and, ceasing to paddle, she was lost in relief and delight. But chancing to glance behind her, she beheld, to her horror, four well- guided canoes just coming into view way up the river. Redoubling every effort and keeping close to the yet dusky shores, she succeeded in reaching the landing before she was perceived. As she jumped from her canoe her pursuers discovered her, and a wild yell rose from them, but friendly Canadians surrounded her and she was soon safely hidden in the convent's shelter. And here, worn out in mind and body, she lay ill of a fever for weeks and months. When Sarah at length slowly recovered she knew no way to show her gratitude to the good sisters but to remain and serve them, and so nearly two years elapsed from the time ot her sudden flight before all negotiations were ended and she really embarked for home. With what strangely mingled feeling did she travel homeward, the only Deer field captive now retuming. Landing at Boston she journeyed to Northampton with a train of wagons bearing goods to the settlements, only one wagon and its convoy continuing up the river to Hatfield and Deerfield. The long May day was drawing °Jto a close as they left Northampton. The slanting rays of the sun fell softly on the valley and crept gently up the eastern hills. Familiar outlines came in sight, familiar song birds filled the evening air. A joy so deep as to be painful came over Sarah ; she was wrapt in contemplation and emotion, and heeded not the approach of a horseman until she heard a voice that sent the warm blood rushing to her heart, ask .eagerly, "Does Mistress Sarah Mattoon journey with you?" A moment later Sarah was helped from the heavy wagon and trembling like a leaf was mounted behind Zechariah. His strong gray horse bore them swiftly for ward, leaving the wagon lumbering along in the distance. As the woods shut them from view Zechariah turned and kissed her, looking deep into her eyes. "Sarah ! my Sarah ! God be praised !" And Sarah could not speak, she clung to him, and for many minutes they jour neyed on in silence. At length, as it to emphasize his thankfulness, Zechariah said: "And, Sarah, until one month ago we all believed you dead." He paused and then resumed. ' 'Not one word or trace of you could be obtained in all these seven years. In vain did Ensign Sheldon search for you. You were reported dead when he was first in Canada, and on his second visit no news at all seemed truly to verify the tale, and yet we marveled greatly that he could gain no certain news. Night after night have I pondered over this, ill satisfied and restless, often rising from a sleepless night determined to seek you afar off through the forest Scarce could the elders keep us from the quest. How was it, Sarah? How did those barbarous, bloodthirsty crea tures so conceal you?" Alas for Sarah, she could not meet his eye ; she turned her face away full ot remorse for his long years of suffering. "Ah, Zechariah, blame them not. 'Twas I whose cowardice kept me prisoner there." He started and looked strangely at Sarah. She went on: "You cannot com prehend it? Oh, my love !— A great weight lay upon my heart. I was stUl bound to Matthew by my word, yet all my heart was yours, and as each day deepened my love for you so seemed to strengthen the dreaded bond to him, and this it was that kept me in the wigwams of the Indians. Can you forgive me,' Zechariah?" He clasped her hand tighter and she continued . — 150 FIELD GENEALOGY. ' 'There came a day when suddenly courage came to me. .My heart said all would be well and I arose and turned me homeward unto you." Again she looked into his face and once more the joy of meeting silenced all words, all thought. The sun had set and the young moon hung brilliant in the clear western sky dipping downward to the darkborizon. To the north rose the great red rock of the Lequamps, rising abruptly in the midst ot the wide valley. Here they left the Con necticut and entered the Pocumtuck valley. As they rode on Sarah told Zechariah of her life with the Indians, of the terrible winter march to Canada, of Betty Hurst and her approaching marriage to a young Canadian, of her own long illnesss and the strange homeward voyage. Again and again she strove to ask for Mat thew, and again and again her courage failed, and it was not until they were nearing the settlement that she finally asked faintly: "And Matthew — what of Matthew?" Very quietly Zechariah pointed to the low bank above the meadows where the village dead lay sleeping. "He lies there — ^killed by the Indians." And turning his horse from the highway he rode thither. No word was spoken. The familiar path, the nestling village beneath the hill, the warm presence of Zech ariah filled Sarah's heart with keenest joy, yet the thought of Matthew overcame all these, and as they dismounted and entered the burying-ground her tears were falling like a soft, warm rain on a gloomy October day. As they stood beside the long, low mound, Zechariah said gently: — "He loved you, Sarah, to the end, deeply and generously. Through all those anxious years we were the best of friends, and, strange to say, the common bond of loving you bound us together." "And did he know?" asked Sarah wonderingly. "He knew that I loved you — not that you loved me." Sarah stopped to trace the letters on the low headstone, brushing aside a wild. rosebush which grew beside it. "Zechariah," she whispered: — "You planted this?" "I did," he assented. '"Twas all I had to give." Then by the moon's light Sarah read : — "Matthew Clesson. Aged 30. Killed by ye Indians June 9, 1709." "June 9," she repeated. "June g?" She started to her feet with a cry: "Zechariah! Itwas June 9 that I left the Indians, — June g of 1709 that I turned homeward, home to you." Again Sarah saw the majestic river, the vivid Canadian sunlight, and the great white bird vanishing into the sky. Again the thrill of her joy and freedom came over her. She turned to Zechariah. He, too, was gazing into the sky as if he saw a vision. Long they stood there, silent, wondering. Trembling, Sarah laid her hand upon his arm. At her touch he drew her to him and folded her to his breast, saying with awed voice: — "He sent you! Oh, my love! He sent you home to me!" A deeper, holier joy was added to them, a greater peace fell upon them ; the long years ot pain and separation were as naught, and life was glad and good and. love was ever new. He d. Aug. 15, 1746.

He settled about 1710 in Deerfield. Being offered a house lot, he removed in 1717 to Northfield, where he was engaged working at his trade, being a blacksmith and gunsmith. One of his charges to his brother Zechariah is four shiUings and six pence for repairing Pompanoots gun, with which he probably fought the white in habitants. There is a tradition in the family that being mistaken by the guard in the twilight for an Indian while pitching peas into his bam, was fired upon and wounded in the hip. There being no surgeon in Northfield, he was taken to Deer field for treatment, and wearied by the journey, he died before his wound could be dressed. He married Elizabeth, daughter of William and Joanna (Hawks) Arms, of Deerfield, b. 1695. She married, 2d, Jan. 27, 1727, Azariah Wright, of Northfield. She d. in a fit Oct., 1772, aged 77. She was noted school teacher in Northfield and vicinity. Feb. 23, 1720, the committee of the town granted to Ebenezer Field and others "the stream upon Bennett's brook, for a saw mill, with the lands that may be necessary for ponding and to lay logs by the same ; in case they build it by May come twelvemonth and improve the mill from that time forward for their own and the town's benefit and service." The property is now known as Sawyer's Mills. Dry Swamp, which was in brushwood in 1673, had become well timbered with oak and had pine in 17 14. This was east of the Great Swamp and was lotted out in the settlement of 1714 and given to those who did not have a share in the Great Swamp. The tracts given contained a little over five acres, except Ebenezer 333- m. 334. IV. 335. V. 336. VI. 337- vu. 338. viii. 339- IX. 340. X. 214. EBI William), b. K FIELD GENEALOGY. 153 Field's, which contained over ten acres. This larger piece was given to him, be cause, being a blacksmith, he needed abundance of charcoal. An old account book ot his is in existence which was kept by him from 1721-23. He often did work for the Indians, and especially for Pompanoot, son and heir of Wawelot. Some of the charges read as foUows: March, 1722. To mending Pompanoot's gun 4s. To 2 steel traps and mending a gun lock for the Indians £1 5s. To my wife making an Indian shirt 8d. To doing work for the Indians on your (his brother Zechariah's) acct 16s. This shows the relation of the two races in time of peace. When the war broKe out, the Indian at once used his repaired gun. When Mr. Field moved to Northfield from Deerfield, he settled on the lot then held by the Patterson heirs — Jonathan Patterson having died in 1718— which he afterwards brought. This was later known as the "Landlord Field Place." He put up a shop in the street, after the custom of those times. He "finished his house" in the winter of 1721. After his death in 1723 the shop was sold to Deacon Samuel Smith, who moved it down to the "old meeting oak." Up to the year 1721 no forts had been built in Northfield village. One or two houses were brick-lined, and one building used as a guard room. The garrison soldiers, when not on duty, lived with the inhabitants. The war which threatened for more than a year and which broke out in the eastem frontiers in June, naturally alarmed the people and immediate measures were taken to prepare for the worst. In the course of the summer two forts were begun and wholly or partially com pleted. One stood on Zechariah Field's lot. These were not strongly built works. Probably the mounts were only partially finished. This fort was surrounded by a stockade. The following year the sentry stationed in the mount shot Mr. Field. It was in the dusk of the evening, and he mistook him for an Indian."' Mr. Field was an excellent smith, and so invited his removal to Northfield. It cannot be seen how the inhabitants managed to get along the previous years with out an artisan of this kind, as all their tools in daily use, such as axes, shears, nails, hoes, plowshares, loom-irons, cranes and trammels and hog-rings were of wrought iron and made by the smith. Some entries from Dr. and Cr. taken from Mr. Field's book for 1721-2 wUl give an idea of the prices, and the workday aspect of things in the little frontier vil lage, and are quite interesting: Cr.

As a specimen of the way lands there were disposed of by the commit tee, the following example is quoted: "Then granted to Josiah Field thirty acres of land, whereof ten or twelve acres of meadow (if to be found) ; the remainder to be-a house lot and upland — all to be laid out conveniently for him by direction of the committee — all on condition of his abode there four years from the above date." The lots on the west side of the street all join to the brow of the meadow hill, unless otherwise specified. AU were nominally sixty rods in length. Beginning, for the sake of convenience at the lower end of the street, lot No. i ot ten acres, bounded south on the falls ot Miller's brook was in 1714 common land. In 1718 it was granted to Josiah Field. He occupied it long enough to gain possession, and March 14, 1726, then of Springfield, sells it to Benoni Wright, and two years later Wright sold it to Capt.

May 24, 1701; d. June 3, 1736; m., 2d, July 25, 1739, Esther Smith, daughter of Joseph and Canada (Waite), of Hatfield, b. June 2, 1710; d. Jan. 12, 1795. Esther was greatly distinguished for her industry and exemplary piety. He was the youngest son of Capt. Joseph, and was b. in Hatfield; removed with his father to Sunderland in 1714. He moved to Leverett in 1752, and settled on Long Plain, so called. His sons, Jonathan, Seth and William, purchased lands in the neighborhood, which they cleared up and con verted into farms, and occupied the same until their decease. He held the commis sion of captain in the militia for many years, and was noted for his courage and sagacity, and distinguished himself by his services in protecting the people in the settlements of Leverett and Sunderland from the incursions and depredations of the Indians during the French wars which commenced in 1744 and terminated in 1760. Little is known of his two daughters. Esther Smith, the second wife of Capt. Jonathan Field, was a daughtei* of Joseph Smith, of Hatfield, and granddaughter of John Smith, who was killed by the Indians in Hatfield Meadow, May 30, 1676, and a great-granddaughter of Lieut FIELD GENEALOGY. 163 Saniuel Smith, an English emigrant, who came from Ipswich, the shire town of Suffolk county. England, in 1634. He remained in Boston until 1638, when he re moved to Weathersfield, Conn., and from thence to Hadley, Mass., in 1659, and was one of the sixty Associates or Separatists, who purchased the Hadley plantation in 1658. She was b. in Hatfield in 1710, and d. in 1794. She was the mother ot Seth Field, and grandmother of Martin Field. Her mother, Canada Waite, wife of Joseph Smith, was the daughter of Benjamin Waite, whose wife and three daughters were of the seventeen captives taken by the Indians in their attack on Hatfield, Sept. 19, 1677, and carried to Canada, where she was b. Jan. 22, 1678. They were the first captives of English descent who were taken to Canada during the Indian wars, and her Christian name was given to her as a Uving memorial of this captivity and the place of her birth. The wife ot Stephen Jennings, who was taken captive at the same time gave birth to a daughter, who was b. March 14,1678. The child was named Captivity, and the two daughters were ever afterwards called the "Canada Babes." Benjamin Waite and Stephen Jennings were men of great energy and per severance, and undertook to redeem their wives and children and the other captives. They obtained a commissibn from the Colonial Government of Massachusetts, and left Hatfield on the 24th day of October, for Canada, by the way of*Xlbany. The officials at Albany frowned upon the enterprise and represented it as hazardous and hopeless, and after they had reached Schenectady, they were brought back forcibly to Albany and went down the river to New York to Governor Andros. Through the intercession of one Captain Brockhurst, they were sent back to Albany with a pass, and reached there Nov. 19. They then hired a Mohawk Indian to guide them to Lake George. This friendly Indian fitted up a canoe for them, made a rudely executed diagram of Lakes George and Champlain, to guide them on their journey. They sailed down Lake George to its outlet, carried their canoe on their backs to Lake Champlain, and reached Chambly January 6, 1678. They were ignotant of the country, being the first New England men who had ever passed over Lakes George and Champlain to Canada. At Sorell and vicinity they found the captives. The French governor at Quebec, Count De Frontenac, treated them civilly and kindly, and granted them a guard of eleven men to accompany them and the captives whom they had redeemed to Albany, which they reached May 22. 1678. The following is the plain unstudied letter written by .Benjamin Waite to the people of Hatfield, after reaching Albany: "To my loving Friends and Kindred in Hatfield: These few lines are to let you understand that we are arrived at Albany now with the captives, and that we stand in need of assistance, for my charges is very great and heavy and therefore any that have any love to our condition, let it move them to come and help us in this strait. Three of the captives are murdered — old Goodman Plimpton, Samuel Foot's daughter, Samuel Russell; all the rest are alive and well and now at Albany, namely, Obadiah Dickinson and his child, Mary Foote and her child, Hannah Jen nings and three children, Abigail AUis, Abigail Bartholomew, Goodman Coleman's children, Samuel Kellogg, my wife and four children, and Quintin Stockwell. I pray you hasten the matter, for it requireth great haste ; stay not for the Sabbath nor the shoeing of horses. We shall endeavor to meet you at Canterhook ^Kinderhook), it may be at Housatonick. We must come softly because of our wives and children. 1 pray you hasten them, stay not night nor day, for the matter requireth haste; bring provisions with you for us. At Albany, written from mine own hand, as I have affected to you all that were fatherless, be affected to me now and hasten the matter, and stay not, and ease me of my charges. You shall not need be afraid of any enemies. Your loving kinsman, Benjamin Waite. 164 FIELD GENEALOGY. They remained in Albany five days, and on May 27, started and walked twenty- two miles to Kinderhook, when they met men and hor.'~es from Hatfield. They rode through the woods and reached Hatfield in safety. The captives had been ab sent eight months, and Waite and Jennings seven months. The day ot their arrival was one of the most joyful days that Hatfield ever knew. The ransom of the captives exceeded two hundred pounds, and was collected by contributions from the English. On May 27, the governor and council appointed June 26 as a day of fasting, humilia tion and prayer, and May 30 they issued an additional order recommending the case of Benjamin Waite and the captives for relief to the pious charity of the people of the several towns in the colony, desiring the ministers on the fast day to "stir up" the people to contribute for the relief of the captives. And for "quickening the work" copies of Benjamin Waite's letter were remitted to the ministers to be publicly read on the aforesaid fast day. Canada Waite was the grandmother of the late Oliver Smith, of Hatfield, who was distinguished for his great wealth, and the munificent trusts he created under his will for the benefit of the poor and indigent in several towns in Hampshire and Franklin counties in Massachusetts. Sophia Smith, who founded and endowed the female college at Northampton was a niece of Oliver Smith and great-granddaughter of Joseph Smith and Canada Waite. There is nothing in the tales of the Colonial Indian Wars more affecting than the story of the efforts of Benjamin Waite to procure the ransom of his wife and children from captivity, or more touching and thrilling than his letter addressed to "his loving friends and kindred at Hatfield." This letter and the account ot the hazardous journey of Waite and Jennings to Canada reads like a tale of the Crusaders. Bishop Hunting ton, in his address at the bi-centennial celebration in 1859 of the first settlement of Hadley in 1659, well said in relating the story of the attack on Hatfield by the Indians, that the names of Benjamin Waite and his companion in their perilous journey through the wilderness to Canada should "be memorable in all the sad or happy homes of this valley forever." The descendants of Capt. Jona'than Field deem themselves honored that through Canada Waite, the child of captivity, they can trace their lineage to Benjamin Waite, and they feel as though they had a direct family interest in the memories of his strong and loving soul and Christian heroism. Benjamin Waite was killed by the Indians at Deerfield, Feb. 29, 1704, at the time of the destruction of the town by the French and Indians under Hertel De Rouville. Canada Waite was married to Joseph Smiih, of Hatfield, Dec. 15,. 1696, and died May 5, 1749- Her husband, Joseph Smith, was born Nov. 16, 1670, and died Feb. 6, 1752. About 1750, settlements were commenced in different part of the present town of Leverett by Nathan Adams, Moses Graves, Solomon Gould, Elisha Clary, Joseph Clary, Joel Smith, Moses Smith, Jeremiah Woodbury, Joseph Hubbard, Isaac Mar shal, Jonathan Hubbard, Richard Montague, Wilde, and Absalom Scott. Montague settled in the north part of the town ; Adams, Joel Smith, Gould and Graves in the south part; Elisha and Joseph Clary at the foot of Cave Hill; Jona than Hubbard in the eastern part, and Joseph Hubbard on the farm now owned by Sawyer Field, near the east side ot the fish pond. The latter was probably the first settler in the town. Josiah Cowls, Jonathan Field, Stephen Ashley, and Jonathan Field, 3d, settled soon afterwards on Long Plain, in the southwest part of the town, and Joseph Bartlett on "brushy mountain." Leverett was originally a part of Sun derland, and a petition ot its residents laid before that town at its March meeting in 1773, praying for liberty to be set off into a new town, for the common lands within its boundaries, and an equitable proportion of the town property, doubtless contained the names of all who were then settled within the present boundaries of Leverett FIELD GENEALOGY. 165 Mr. Field d.

Henry Stockbridge, lawyer, b. in North Hadley, Mass., Aug. 31, 1822, was originally named Henry Smith Stockbridge; but he dropped the Smith in early manhood. He was graduated at Amherst in 1845, and studied law in Baltimore, where he was admitted to the bar May i, 1848, and has since practiced his profession. During the Civil war he was a special district attorney to attend to the business of the War Department, and in 1864 as a member of the legislature he drafted the act that convened a constitutional con vention for the abolition of slavery in the state. He took an active part in the proceedings of the convention, and defended the con stitution that it adopted before the court of last resort. Afterward he instituted and successfully prosecuted in the United States courts proceedings by which were annulled the indentures of apprentice ship by which it was sought to evade the emancipation clause. Mr. Stockbridge thus practically secured the enfranchisement of more than 10,000 colored children. He was judge of the circuit court for Baltimore county in 1865, a delegate to the Loyalists' convention in 1866, and vice-president of the National RepubUcan convention of 1868. Mr. Stockbridge has been for twenty years editor of the Fund publications of the Maryland Historical Society, of which he is vice-president, and he is the authorof publication No. 22, "The Archives of Maryland" (Baltimore. 1886); besides various contri butions to magazines. His son, Henry W., of Baltimore, Md., b. in that city, Sept. 18, 1856, graduated at Amherst CoUege in 1877, and from the law department of the University of Maryland in 1878. In the same year he was admitted to the bar and at once began the practice of law in connection with his father. In 1882 was appointed one ot the examiners in chancery, and discharged the duties of this position till March, 1889. In 1887, upon the death of Major Randolph, he became one ot the editors ot the Baltimore American, and continued in this employment until March, 1889, when, having been elected to the Fitty-first Congress, he retired to devote his attention to his congressional duties. He decUned a renomination for Congress in 1890, and in 1891 was appointed Commissioner of Immigration at the port of Baltimore, and un dertook the work of organizing at this port the inspection of im- 166 FIELD GENEALOGY. migrants. He resigned as immigration commissioner on March 3, 1893. , From the time ot the expiration of his congressional term he resumed actively the practice of the legal profession, and became counsel for several large corporations. In 1896 he was elected as an associate judge of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore city, and has since been discharging the duties of that position; m.

Joseph Snow, Sr., appears to have been a cantankerous person whose specialty was a stirring up church rows. He lived in Easton, Mass., and in "Chaffins" book, on that town, you wiU find some record of him. After his removal to Providence he became involved in a controversy at the First Congregational church, and because of the teaching of "damnable good works" that the minister indulged in, Mr. Snow withdrew and estab lished a congregation with his son as pastor on the west side of the town. (See "Staples' Annals of Providence," "The Beneficent Church," by Rev. J. G. Vose.) The funeral sermon of the Rev. Joseph Snow was preached by Rev. Stephen Gano, trom the text, "1 have fought a good fight" A copy of this is in the Brown University library. Mr. Snow continued as pastor until his death, but in his later years he withdrew from the church founded by his father, and established a third Congregational church. The reason of this change is to be found in the growing popularity of the Rev. James Wilson, called to be his assistant. Old Mr. Snow could not see his own growing decrepitude, and was offended at the people who preferred the younger man. Mr. Snow took with him the records of the church that he had kept with great care and attention and many of the dates here can be verified by consultation with the original record now in the custody of the Union Congregational Society. A picture of Rev. Joseph Snow was printed some years ago in Dr. Vose's "Beneficent Church." James Snow, his brother, was captain of Fourth company of Providence militia in 1776-1778.

Their son, Oliver Ames (manufacturer, b. in Plymouth, Mass., Nov. 5, 1807; d. in North Easton, Mass., March 9, 1877), was a mem ber of the Massachusetts State Senate during 1S52 and 1857. He was largely interested with his brother in the development of the Union Pacific railroad, and was its president pro tem. from 1866 until 1868. He was formally elected president of the company March 12, 1868, and continued as such until March 8, 1871. He was connected with the Credit Mobilier, and in 1873 succeeded his brother, Oakes Ames, as the head of the firm. They had a son, Oliver, who had a son, Fred L. Oakes Ames, the brother of Oliver was a manufacturer, and was b. in Easton, Mass., Jan. 10, 1804; d. in North Easton, Mass., May 8, 1873. He was the eldest son of Oliver Ames, a blacksmith, who had acquired con siderable reputation in the making of shovels and picks. After obtaining a public-school education he entered his father's work shop, and made himself familiar with every step of the manufac ture. He became a partner in the business, and with his brother, OUver, Jr., established the firm of Oliver Ames & Sons. This house carried on an enormous trade during the gold excitement in Calitomia, and again a few years later in Australia. During the Civil ' war they furnished extensive supplies of swords and shovels to the government In the building of the Union Pacific railroad they were directly interested, and obtained large con tracts, which were subsequently transferred to the Credit Mobilier of America, a corporation in which Oakes Ames was one of the largest stockholders. In 1861 he was called into the exe cutive council of Massachusetts. He served continuously in Con gress from 1862 to 1873, as representative from the Second Mas sachusetts district. His relations with the Credit Mobilier led to an investigation, which resulted in his being censured by a vote ot the House of Representatives.

"Dear Sir: 1 very much regretted not seeing you last week, and being desir ous to give you as little trouble as possible, 1 call at your office to-day, and lest I should not find you, 1 am writing this note to leave. Unless there is some reason for the belief, that Abigail Field was not the daughter of Wm. Hopkins, except that she was not mentioned in his will, I shall leave it for the Hopkins to prove the contrary. The idea of her being called 'Hopkins' by courtesy is not reasonable, especially on her marriage. It is evident her mother had one Hopkins boy, and when she speaks of her first husband's son, calls him by his true name, and so does her husband. "Thomas Field was a very rich man, for his day, and fathers of that day, so little inclined to give to daughters anything, but household goods any way, it was not strange if he thought it unnecessary; besides he might not have liked Thos. 176 FIELD GENEALOGY. Field, many of that day did not like him, he was arbitrary and exacting. Again, all those old Fields were apt to mention degrees of relationship. Thomas 2d, who referred to his 'two grandfathers,' did not hesitate when the estate was to be set tled, to summon his 'mother-in-law,' Abigail (Chaffee) Field. They were too proud and independent to admit of patronage of any sort, even from a step-grandfather, though a Hopkins. I remember hearing Uncle George Field tell with tearful ap preciation of the heroism of ' Old Uncle Stephen Hopkins,' when he signed the 'Declaration,' being a paralytic, said, 'My hand trembles, but my heart don't' 'However, I am open to conviction. I am puzzled over Thomas 50 and Thomas 44 (see Mrs. Brownell's Field Genealogy, p. 10). Mrs. Wiaid says, 'My grandfather married Hannah Irons.' She had not seen my book. Mrs. Wiaid's father was Darius Field, and if born in 1777 (see last page of the book), it would be right for the marriage 1775. But this Thomas was not son of Silas so I leave it.

Some time after his marriage, about 1732, he moved to the Oblong, locat ing on Dingle Ridge, now in South East, Putnam county, N. Y., where his last child, Jane, was born. She was the first white child born on the Oblong. Samuel be- 184 FIELD GENEALOGY. 445- IV. 446. V. 447- VI. came a prosperous farmer, a well known and highly respected citizen, and whose well preserved house is still standing. He was a Quaker and belonged to the Soci ety of Friends. Another account says: Samuel appeared on Dingle Ridge on the Oblong before 1733 with sons, William, John and Stephen, and daughters, Elizabeth and Anna. He settled on a square one mile north and south and seven-eighths of a mile east and west, on the south side of the town of South East, Dutchess county, N. Y., since set off as a part of Putnam county. He was probably the first settler on the Oblong in South East. His daughter Jane, bom Aug. r8, 1733, was the first white child born on the Oblong. Samuel's will recorded in the Surrogate's office, Poughkeepsie, is a unique document. He was a prominent citizen of South East; was supervisor 1754-S6; was a prominent member of the Society of Friends, as were his children. He and many of his descendants were buried in the Friends' burying ground at Peach Pond, where, unfortunately for us, no records were kept and no inscriptions on the stones. He d.

Three of his children were born there. On May 5, I7g4, he purchased 130 acres, a portion of the present Ryder farm on the westerly side of Peach Lake, where he buUt the houses that form the present resi dence and to which he removed. He was an energetic and indus trious farmer, weaver, merchant and marketman. It is said that he often obtained the money to pay for his hired help on the farm by working with his loom at night. He kept a country store on his premises and further supplied his own and his neighbors' wants by driving a market wagon thrice a week to Sing Sing, transport ing the surplus products of the community to the Hudson river, the avenue of trade with New York, and returning with the man ufactures that that locality produced.

ANTHONY FIELD (Benjamin, Anthony, Robert, William, Christopher, John, Christopher, John), b. at Peach Pond, Flushing, L. I., July 28, i6g8; m. Aug. 13. 1730, Hannah Burling. Anthony Field, of Harrison's Purchase, Westchester county, N. Y., named in Flushing Record, b. there; wUl dated AprU 21, 1773. His wile Hannah, dau. of William Burling, of Flushing, m. there; co-executrix of her husband's will. Anthony Field, son of Benjamin and Hannah, who was born in i6g8. and married Hannah Burling, removed to Harrison, sometimes called ''Harrison's Purchase" and sometimes "Purchase," in 1725. This tract was bought from the Indians by John Harrison, of Flushing, to whom it was conveyed by a deed of Pathungo, sachem, or chief of the tribe, resid ing there, dated Jan. 24, i6g5. It is in the county of Westchester, and about thirty miles from New York. Originally it formed part of Rye, but was separated from it after the Indian deed referred to, and successfully resisted the claims of owner ship made by this town. Bolton, the historian of Westchester, says: "Nearly all the settlers of this purchase came from Flushing and other towns on Long Island." And again: "This seems to have been a favorite settlement of the Friends. They were shamefully persecuted in Connecticut and Massachusetts; from there driven to Long Island. Even there they could find no rest, for the governor of New York issued an order forbidding them to worship, even in a barn. So they crossed by means of the ferry to Rye and settled principally in Harrison. ' ' Anthony Field gave the ground for the first Friends meeting house erected here in 1727, which land adjoined his estate. His will was dated, "this twenty-first day of the fourth month (called April), 1773." After providing for his wife Hannah, he directs his land to be sold "that lies on the North side of the road that leads from King street to White Plains" ; and out of the proceeds certain sums to be paid to his sons Thomas, Sam uel, Anthony and John, "which will make them equal with what my son Benjamin hath already had, which is eighty pounds"; also forty pounds to son William and the same sum to daughter Sarah out of the said proceeds, and the remainder of same to be equally divided between his children, Thomas, William and Sarah. "When my widdow pleases to sell the farm, where I now live on the East side of the road that leads from the Purchase meeting house to Rye," eighty pounds is to be paid "to my son Moses Field," the remainder to be divided equally between his — the testator's — "widdow" and his children, except Anthony, who has had his full share. His land in Hampshire (i. e.. New Hampshire) is to be equally divided be tween his sons William and Moses. "My beloved wife Hannah Field and my sons Benjamin and John Field to be executors." His death is entered as follows in the Friends' register of Harrison: "Anthony Field died gth mo. 2nd 1777," and he was interred in the burial ground of the meeting house there. Hannah Burling, dau. of William and Rebecca Burling, of Flushing, was b. Oct 16, 1713, and m. there to Anthony Field, June 13, 1730, at which time she had not completed her seventeenth year. Her father, William, third child of Edward and Grace Burling, was b. in England Oct. 26, 1678. This Edward arrived in America shortly after, as appears by an entry of the births of his seven children in the Flushing register of the Friends, where it is stated that three were born in Eng land and four in America. This enables us to fix the date of his emigration at from 1678 to 1681 inclusive, as his fourth child was born in the last named year, and was three years younger than the third. Rebecca Burling, the mother of Hannah Field, d. Feb. 2, 1729. The author does not know her maiden name, but would mention 13 186 FIELD GENEALOGY. two circumstances which may be of some help in ascertaining it Her husband William, in his will, which is recorded at the Surrogate's office, New York, gives to "my daughter Hannah Field," besides a bequest of money, "a chest whi;-h was her mother's marked R. S.," and to Sarah Bloodgood, another daughter by his wife Rebecca, "a silver porringer which was their mother's, marked E. S. M."

(The last figure is indistinct) The following is the entry of his widow's death: "Mary Burl ing, widow of William Burling, dyed 25th day, Sth mo., 1747." Her will, also at New York, was dated Sept. 4, 1746. This famUy gave the name to "Burling Slip," New York, having obtained a grant of land in the vicinity in 1737. Watson says, in his "Annals of New York": "Burling Slip was so called after a respectable family of that name, living at the corner of Smith's 'Vly (now Pearl street), and Golden HUl." Probably the family referred to was that of Edward Burling, eldest brother of William, whose will, dated Feb. 14, 1744, describes him as "merchant of New York." He d. Sept. 2, 1778; res.

Feb. ig, 1712, Mrs. Marytje Van Vieghton*, b. Oct. 8, 1687, widow of Albert Teneicke. She d. Aug. 28, 1742. Marytje Van Vechten, wife of Jeremiah Field, was dau. of Michiel Van Vechten, the first son of Dirck Tennisef, and Jarmetje Vrelant. Michiel (above) was b. at Greenbush, opposite Albany, N. Y., Nov. 28, 1663, and m., ist, Marytje Parker, Nov. 21, 1686; she d. July, 1690. Tennis Dirckse Van Vechten came to the New Netherlands in the ship Arms of Norway, 1638, with wife and child and two serv ants. He came from Vechten, Holland. Jeremiah Field came with his father John Field to New Jersey in i6g5 ; was commissioned a lieutenant of Col. Thos. Farmer's Company in PIscataway, Middlesex county, N. J., Sept. 28, 1713. In 1741 he was judge of the Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions of the Peace, p. 496, History of Union and Somerset Counties. He m. . All the sons of Jeremiah Field are buried in the family cemetery on the John D. Field place, excepting Michael, who is buried in the churchyard of the Presbyterian church in Bound Brook. At the Lenox Library in New York there may be seen an old Dutch Bible printed in Amsterdam in the year 1603, which, notwithstanding its great age, is in a very good state of preservation, except that the title pages to both the Old and New Testaments are missing. This Bible bears dates of family history as far back as 1634. These records are in Dutch, and refer to the Van Vechten family, in whose possession the book undoubtedly was for many years. It is probable that it came into use as the Field family Bible at'the time of the marriage of Marytje Van Vech ten, dau. of Michael Van Vechten, to Jeremiah Field. After the record of the births of Jeremiah Field and of Mary Van Vechten and prior to the record of their marriage, there are recorded the births of two children of Mary by her first hus band, Albert Teneicke ; then follows the record of the births of the Field children. In 1817 this old Bible was presented to the American Bible Society, in whose custody it has been ever since. The two cuts here shown are reproductions from photo graphs recently taken by Mr. John S. Bussing, one of the descendants of ' 'Jeremiah Field and Mary his wife." They add much interest to the family record. The fol lowing shows more clearly the record of the Field family as to names and dates •Richard I. Field had in his records which he obtained from his uncle Dennis;that Jeremiah Field married Feb. 19, 1711, Mary Teneicke. Both of the names were familiar in the family. A silver bodkin found in the "Old House" is engraved with the initials "M. V. V," It is my opinion that Teneicke was either her middle name— Mary Teneicke Van Vieghton— or she was a widow when Jeremiah married her. This latter supposition I should give the preference, as she was two years older than Jeremiah. Then she was Mrs. Mary Van Vieghton Teneicke. — F. C. P. Her children by her first husband were: 1. Jane, b. Oct. 6, 1708. 2. Albert, b. April 11, 1711. tMichiel settled in Somerset county, on Raritan river, 1685, and was the first Van Vechten in New Jersey. He was one of the associate judges of Somerset county, 1711. 188 FIELD GENEALOGY. than can be seen in the page of the miniature Bible herewith shown. "Jeremiah Field, the son of John Field and Margaret his wife, was born May 17, in the year i68g. Mary Van Vechten, the daughter of Michael Van Vechten and Mary his wife, was born October 8, 1687. Jeremiah Field and Mary Van Vechten (widow of Albert Teneicke), were married February ig, 1 712-13. Jeremiah Field and Mary his wife had following children (see record in Bible in full). Jeremiah, b.Jan. 27, 1713-14; John, b. April 5, 1715; Michael, b. Aug. 24, 1716; Margaret, b. Oct 2, 1717; Mary, b. Sept. 8, 1719; May, b. Oct ig, 1720; Michael, b. Feb. 4, 1722-23 ; Benjamin, b. Feb. 19, 1724-25." On one of the pages some one had written "this is Jeremiah Field's book," and it is easily understood why he had a Dutch Bible. He married a Dutch young lady, and probably her parents gave her this book when she married Mr. Field. The Van Vechtens were a leading family at that time in that region. It was at the old brick house of the half-brother of Mary tje (now standing) that Washington attended a reception in honor of Miss Schuyler. During the Revolution this homestead was the center of a bounteous hospitality. On one occasion General Washington danced for three hours with Mrs. Greene, wife of General Greene, without sitting down. Of course, this house had nothing to do with the Fields. It is interesting to note, however, that as soon as Jeremiah Field married into this circle he received a commission as lieutenant; he was probably much in this social and military life. He d.

Jeremiah, at the beginning of the troubles resulting in the Revolutionary war, we find acting in concert with the true men of the land. He served on township and county committees of corre spondence, and in other ways operating with simUar organizations in the colonies in the common cause of liberty. The history of this branch of the family since its identification with New Jersey is, as before, both in this country and in England, marked with true energetic manliness and good citizenship ; always striving for the best interests of society, loving liberty with a determination to have it. Owner of large landed property situated along the banks of the Raritan, his attention was mostly given to the cultivation of the soil, at the same time advocating and executing measures tending to improve and benefit the community. 473. ii.

Michael Field was owner of the fiourishing mill near Bound Brook, and was particularly noted for his large-hearted generosity and penetrating foresight; his footsteps are yet seen, and the effects of his benev olence are still felt and enjoyed in the neighborhood where he lived. He gave largely in real estate and by will, in money, to the Presbyterian church at Bound Brook and for public benefit. Atthe outbreak of the Revolution (1775) the able and hardy of the generations, then living of the famUy, to a man, sided with the patriots of the colonies, serving on committees of safety, meeting FIELD GENEALOGY. 189 in the councils of the people, sacrificing time and their blood in the cause of liberty. The Scotch and English multiplied in this vicinity, and by the year 1700 they were in sufficient numbers to warrant forming the "Presbyterian Congregation of Bound Brook," which before long became one of the most fiourishing and important religious organi zations in the colony. We have no record of where the first services were held — probably in one of the log dwellings that were distrib uted along the willow-fringed banks of the river. It was not until 1725 that the congregation erected its first edifice, a low one-story house which stood within the present church grounds, and was preserved until far in this century, the uses of its later years being that of a school house. Itinerant preachers served the needs of the people until 1741, when the Rev. James McCrea was appointed by the Presbytery as a supply, which service he continued until i74g. A second and more pretentious building was completed about the year 1 760, the funds having been obtained from the pro ceeds of a public lottery. Affixed to the walls of the present church edifice is a tablet showing the first settled minister of the congregation to have been the Rev. Israel Read. He was called to the pastorate in 1750, "in which he was faithful to his Divine Master to the death." In November, i7g3, he was thrown from his carriage while riding near New Brunswick, receiving injuries of which three days later he died. Judging from the congregational records it would seem that members of the Field family have, from the founding of this religious society, been among its most active supporters and ben efactors. A portion of the church grounds was conveyed by Benjamin and Jeremiah Field in the year i74g, and the large church Bible which bears a London imprint of 1772, has on its leaf, in the handwriting of the Rev. Mr. Read, the following. "Mr. Michael Field's book 1784 he Presents to the Reverend Mr. Read, being the Second Small Legacy made by him to the Church at Bound Brook. Pris-i-8-0. " Michael Field d. Jan. 13, 1792; a copy of his will, in my possession, shows that he bequeathed one thou sand pounds to the trustees of the congregation, the interest ot which was to be applied "towards supporting the gospell in the Presbiterian Church at Bound Brook." He also laft the sum of five hundred pounds for the support of a free school wilhin the congregation. This was not the first one of the village. The Scotch Presbyterians held the school almost in equal estimation with the church; schoolmasters were brought from the old country and early established in the East Jersey settlements. In 1752, when Johannes visited Bound Brook, John Wacker taught the village children in a low one-story building within the present church grounds. Doubtless the colonial lads found that peda gogue's name to be appropriate to his calling, for schoolmasters of the olden time considered that mental perceptions were precipi tated by knuckles and palms being well ridged by hard rulers. One of the first teachers in the free academy established by the bequest of Michael Field was Isaac Toucey, who afterwards was secretary of war under Buchanan's administration. 190 FIELD GENEALOGY. 479- VIII. 480.

At an early age Edward was sent to the grammar school at St. Catherine's, Canada, where he was prepared for college. In 1854 he entered Williams College and was graduated with honors in 1858, being one of the class orators. While at college he was the president of the Natural History Society. Atter receiving his degree of Bachelor of Arts he returned to Ashtabula and at once entered his father's office, where he began the study of law. He was admitted to the bar by the District Court of Cuyahoga county in September, i860. The foUowing year Williams CoUege conferred upon him the degree ot A. M. He commenced practice at once alone, but in a short time formed a copartnership with his father, which contin ued until Jan. i, 1863, when his father retired trom practice. He then formed a partnership with Judge Horace Wilder, afterwards a judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio, under the name of Wilder & Fitch. This continued until the December following, when Mr. Wilder was appointed to the Supreme Court bench. He then practiced alone until July, 1864, when he became a partner of Judge L. S. Sherman, who at this time is the oldest practitioner in this county. In 1868 this firm was dissolved, and he was again alone until 1878, when he formed a partnership with Hon. S. A. Northway, now Congressman from this district. In the fall of 1878 he removed to Jefferson, Ashtabula county, where he has continued to reside. Ten years later this partnership was dissolved, and he remained alone until Sept. i, i8g6, when he formed a copartnership with his son, Winchester Fitch, with offices at Jefferson and Ashtabula, the son being in charge of the Ashtabula office. In 1870 Mr. Fitch was, by Gov. R. B. Hayes, appointed delegate from the Nineteenth District to the National Capital Convention, at Cincinnati, and in the same year he was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States upon the motion of James A. Garfield, who had been his friend since college days. Mr. Fitch has for years enjoyed one of the largest law practices of the lawyers of north-eastern Ohio. He is a lawyer of great ability, and has the reputation of conducting a case with great skill. His arguments to the court are always clear, strong and to the point, omitting nothing essential to a complete statement and containing no surplusage. Before the jury he is both forcible and persuasive, evincing the art and power of the advocate. He has been most successful with his cases on error, and has won a large majority of the cases he has argued in the Supreme Court His practice, whUe it has often been of necessity of a general character, has had much to do with the insurance and real estate law. Mr. Fitch is politicaUy a Republican. His first vote was cast tor Lincoln, and he has 194 FIELD GENEALOGY. always taken an active interest in state and national politics. An orator of force and influence he is much sought for public speak ing. For twenty years he was recorder and a member of the Ashtabula councU. In 1867 and 1868 he was prosecuting attomey for Ashtabula county. He was for fifteen years a justice of the peace and forty years a notary public. He was several years a member ot the RepubUcan State Central Committee. Mr. Fitch was appointed by Govemor McKinley, in i8g4, chairman of the Torrence Commission. He is a fellow of the American Associa tion for the Advancment, of Science, a member of the American Bar Association, the Ohio Bar Association and of the Sons of the American Revolution. He was for a number of years chairman of the committee of judicial administration, and legal reform of the Ohio State Bar Association. In 1863 Mr. Fitch was married to Alta D. Winchester, a daughter of Philander Winchester, at one time editor of the Painesville Telegraph, a noted abolitionist, and one of the founders of the Republican party. Of this union there have been eight children, five of whom are living : Win- ' Chester, b. Nov. 21, 1867, now a member of the bar and partner of his father; Annette, b. Jan. 31, 1870, and m. Jan. 31, 1892, to Curtis Brewer, who is at present city engineer ot Sandusky and connected with the Jarecki Chemical Company; Edward H., b.

July 24. 1875, and Flora, b. Aug. 5, 1878. Mr. Fitch died at Conneaut, his summer residence, on Lake ave nue, Thursday, Sept. 9, 1897, and was buried in Chestnut Grove Cemetery, Ashtabula. Ch. : i.

Winchester Fitch is descended trom a famUy of lawyers. His earlier English ancestors were con nected with the profession, and he is the third generation of the famUy engaged in the practice of law in Ashtabula. With his inherited tendencies, studious habits and determination to mas ter the principles of law it is fair to assume that he will maintain the reputation of the family. The son of Hon. Edward H. Fitch and Alta D. Winchester, he was born at Ashtabula, Nov. 21, 1867, and received his primary education in the schools of that city. After he had passed through the g^rammar school his parents removed to Jefferson, where he was graduated from the high school. At the age of fifteen he entered Cascadilla school, at Ithaca, N. Y., where he was prepared for college. In 1884 he entered Cornell University and was graduated in 1888 from the literary department of that institution. His favorite studies were history and languages. After graduation he went to Chi- FIELD GENEALOGY. 195 cago. and was tor a time in the general offices of the C. B. & Q. R. R. He then became a reporter on the Inter-Ocean, and later was appointed the marine editor, and afterward the literary editor of the Chicago Evening Journal. For a short time prior to the Columbian Exposition he was a member of the real estate firm of Edwin Reed & Co. While in Chicago he read law and was a student of the Chicago College of Law, taking the night course. In 1893 he retumed to Jefferson to complete his law studies in his father's oflice. In 1894 he was admitted to practice at Columbus by the Supreme Court At this time he owned an interest in the Geneva Times, and edited the paper until 1895, when he came to Ashtabula. Since that time he has been asso ciated with his father in the practice ot law, under the firm name of Fitch & Fitch, with offices in Jefferson and Ashtabula. Mr. Fitch is a Republican, and has been a member of the county central committee, of the senatorial committee, and of the board of county school examiners. During the campaign of i8g6 he was an assistant to Colonel Haskell, and Major Dick, at the RepubUcan National headquarters, in Chicago. In that position he discharged the duties devolving upon him with much skill, and in a manner entirely satisfactory to them and the national com mittee. Mr. Fitch was married to Miss Florence Hopper, daugh ter of George H. Hopper, Esq., of New York, a member of the Standard Oil Co., at Elmwood, his country seat, at Unionville, Lake county, O. Mr. Fitch is a member of the Ohio State Bar Association, the Westem Reserve Society, of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Cincinnati Society of Colonial Wars, the Rowfant Club of Cleveland, and the Twentieth Century Club of Chicago. 3.

The deceased held a very high place in the community where he lived because of his moral worth, his worthy life and the strict integrity in which he held and performed every duty and obligation which devolved upon him. For four generations his ancestors had been ministers of the gospel, and from their strict and upright lives, typical of the religious teaching of their day, he had taken the rule and guide of his life. He was a handsome man ; large and robust looking, and prior to his death his appearance was as of one who was in possession of perfect health and gave promise of many years of life and usefulness. But for years he had been a sufferer from heart trouble and the machinery which propelled the life current gave out in the midst of all this apparent vigor. The Winchester family is descended from Hon. John Winches ter, of Brookline, Mass. (first representative from that town to the General Court of Massachusetts), from the Aspinwalls, Deacon Sealis, of Scituate; Lieut. Griffin Craft, of Roxbury, Mass., (see Craft Genealogy); Lieut John Sharp, killed at Sud bury fight, 1676, and John White, of Watertown, (ancestor of President John Adams), (see Register, October, 1896). Rev. Jona than Winchester was a near relative of President John Adams and the Boston Boylstons, of Rev. Elkanan Winchester, the distinguished Universalist preacher and patriot friend of Franklin, Jay, etc., and who spoke to great audiences in Eng land (see Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography), and grandfather of Lieut. -Gov.

"Grants," so that this company saw little service ; but Captain Williams during the Revolution collected subsistence for the Revolutionary army, and was in charge of such business in the section where he lived. Captain Williams was so much of an engineer that he and his son, Col. Oliver Williams, not only laid out the original warrants of the town and conducted the ordinary work of surveying ; but the father, with the aid of his large fam ily of sons, and his Palmer nephews (children ot Lucy (Field) Palmer), laid out the roads in Woodstock township on modern principles, blasting where necessary to keep them short and at a low level in that hilly region.

He is said to have been at the battle of Bunker Hill when only fourteen years ot age. Jesse Williams, son of Captain Phinehas, was left with his uncle, Amariah, at Mansfield, when his father removed to Vermont. He has told his grandson. Dr. Edward H. Williams, that he was with the Mansfield com.pany when it marched on the Lexington alarm, and was at Bunker Hill. In mentioning the name of his aunt and mother-in-law it should be written Lucy, and not Lucia. The last is a modification given to Williams' descendants. Jesse Wil liams was the first merchant in Woodstock. He also extensively raised thoroughbred horses. He was elected associate judge ot the county court, and served for a number of years. He pur- FIELD GENEALOGY. 201 chased in Hartford, Conn., the first bell for the county court house. It was the first bell of the kind in the state. In 1803 he was appointed presiding judge; but declined the office and was appointed judge of probate for the Hartford district, which he held till 181 5, when he resigned. He had retired from business with a considerable fortune, and was afterward interested in numerous projects more or less connected with the growth of the town. Among them was, the manufacture of the first enclosed stoves from soapstone slabs, held together by iron clamps at the corners, the stone coming from his quarry. He died at Woodstock, Jan. 27, 1842. He married his cousin, Han nah, daughter of Lieutenant Gershom, Jr., and Lucy (Field) Palmer, of Woodstock, who was bom at Mansfield, Conn., April I, 1769, and died at Woodstock, Vt, Jan. 27, 1837. Lieutenant Palmer served during the Revolution, and his grave is one of those decorated yearly by the G. A. R. He was descended from Capt. George Denison, of Stonington, Conn., who commanded the Con necticut troops at the storming of the Narragansett fort and cap tured Miatonomo. Ch. : (p) Norman, b. Nov. 6, 1791. Norman, eldest son of Hon. Jesse and Hannah (Palmer) Williams, was b. at Woodstock, Vt, Nov. 6, 1791. He fitted for college at home and at the academies of Royalton and Randolph, and entered the sophomore class of the University of Vermont, in October, 1807, and at the commencement of Aug. 18, 1810, delivered a "Poem with Valedictory Addresses." For many years thereafter Mr. Williams was called upon for poems on commemorative occasions, and numerous extracts from the press show that these were highly valued. After a course of law studies at home and at Burlington, Vt, he was admitted to the bar at the latter place, and at once opened an office at home, and practiced till October, 1 83 1. During this period he held the offices of Register of Pro bate of the Hartford district (his father being judge). State Aud itor of Accounts, 1819-1823, and Secretary of State, 1823-1831 — in each case declining re-election. He then, unfortunately, formed a partnership with his brother-in-law in the hardware business in Montreal, and remained till 1834, when foreseeing the coming of the rebellion, in which his partner was engaged, he retumed to Woodstock and resumed legal practice. He was secretary of the State Senate in i835-i83g; and thence till his death, in 1868, he was clerk of the courts of Windsor county. During this interval he was one of the commissioners to revise the State statutes ; twice was a State Senator; and was one of the commission to pre pare plans for a new State house. He was one the incorporators of the Vermont Medical College, and during the greater part of its life dean of its faculty, and from i84g-i853 a trustee of his alma mater. Had he been desirous of political preferment there was no office in the state which he could not have secured. Many of the offices he held were conferred upon him by his pol itical opponents, and he declined the treasurership of the state to which he had been elected against his wishes, as well as nomina tions for higher state offices. The highly laudatory resolutions adopted by the bar at his decease tell how much he was esteemed 14 202 FIELD GENEALOGY. throughout the state, and in the printed lives ot many prominent Vermonters, as an evidence of their prominence and worth, it is slated that they held the friendship of "Norman Williams, of Woodstock." He married, Dec. n, 1817, Mary Ann Wentworth, eldest child of Henry Barlow, Esq., and Rebecca (Appleton) Brown, ot Woodstock, and formerly of the New Brunswick bar. Mrs. Brown's mother was a cousin of Sir John Wentworth, last royal governor of New Hampshire, and also descended from Lieut. -Gov. John Wentworth, who served under Anne. On her father's side she descended from leaders in colonial history, one of them, Maj. Richard Waldron, commander of the New Hamp shire troops, who was murdered by Indians at Dover, when over eighty years old, with circumstances of unusual cruelty. Mrs. Williams was highly cultured and refined, and has left traces of a gifted pencil m the seals of various courts, and in the present arrangement of the great seal of Vermont A recent writer on Woodstock, states, ' 'fifty years ago it contained the best medical school in the state, and it had a local aristocracy that controlled society and intelligence, and its women were so cultivated and refined that one of them had a salon to which every distinguished guest of the town was invited, and which far and near was talked of as the one place to visit if you went to Vermont. The site of the old homestead where Mrs. Williams held high carnival in society is now used for a public library, and this brilliant woman herself is able to look down upon its habitues as graciously from her portrait as she once smiled on the saints and sinners who crossed her threshold.

Norman and Mary Ann Wentworth (Brown) Williams, of Woodstock, Vt, was b. there June i, 1824, and now resides at his country place, "Went worth," near Rosemont, Penn. After the usual course in the high grade private schools of his native town he decided to become an engineer, and all subsequent work tended in that direction. While studying the classics with his father he began a course in higher mathematics with Hosea Doton, well known throughout Vermont as a mathematician and engineer, and supplemented this by work with his uncle. Rev. Dr. George Palmer WiUiams, at Pontiac, who lately died lull of years and honors as Emeritus Professor of Physics ot the University of Michigan. Here Mr. Williams became acquainted with Col. John N. Berrien, slate engineer, who was locating the Michigan Central railroad, and during his stay at Pontiac was constantly with the corps. He was now suffering from what was thought to be a severe attack of asthma, which defied all remedies, and lasted a number of years, but which was caused by the lodgment of part of a beech nut burr in the vocal chords — afterwards ejected in a fit ot cough ing — when the trouble entirely disappeared. This affliction resulted in his abandoning the life of an engineer, by the advice of his physicians, and he reluctantly began the sludy of med icine and graduated at the Vermont Medical CoUege in 1846. The following year was again passed at Pontiac in the open air with the construction corps of the railroad, but in 1847 he began the practice of medicine at Proctorsville, Vt. Mr. Doton, his old instructor, was then building the Rutland & Burlington railroad through the place, and Dr. Williams was with the corps as often as possible, and fortunately on one occasion when he was able to treat successfully one of the foremen who had a three- foot tamping bar blown through his head, behind the left eye. He removed his practice to Northfield, where he became ac quainted with the management of the Vermont Central road, which had its headquarters there, and thus added to his railroad experience. The relief from nis bronchial troubles now turned his mind back to his long cherished life work, and in October, 1 85 1, he became assistant in building a railroad from Caughna- waga, Canada, to Plattsburg, N. Y., and, within a few months, the death of the engineer left him in charge of the work, which he finished. From 1855 to 1865 he was in charge of railroad work as superintendent in the west, and generally on the pioneer road into the wilderness, so that he acquired abundant experience. In the latter year he became general superintendent of the Pennsylvania railroad at Altoona, where he remained till 1870, when he was invited to bring his experience of eighteen years to the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and became a partner. Since that date he has resided in and about Philadelphia, and "Dr. Williams," as he is known throughout the world among railroad men, has introduced American locomotives throughout South America, 204 FIELD GENEALOGY. Australia, Japan, India and Europe. While in Australia for the second time he was appointed United States Commissioner to the Sydney Exposition. In 1861 he received the honorary degree of M. A. from the University of Vermont, and in 1876 was created by the King of Sweden a Knight of the North Star, and also elected a member ot the Swedish Royal Society. Dr. Williams erected, in 1895, for the University of Vermont, a building for the applied sciences and furnished it throughout, at a cost ot a quarter of a million dollars, in memory of his wife. He had previously erected a similar building for Carleton (Minn.) College, and also given it a sixteen-inch equatorial telescope. The work most pleasing to Dr. Williams was the erection on the family homestead of a beautiful granite free library, in memory of his parents, which he has fully endowed for maintenance and book fund, and this fall (iSgg) he is to add to it an extension of nearly the same size, as the original building is full of books. He married June 15, 1848, Cornelia Bailey, youngest daughter of John A. and Sarah (Bailey) Pratt, ot Woodstock, born Jan. 16, 1827; diedat Rosemont, Pa., July 16, i88g. Mr. Pratt was one of the leading citizens in Woodstock, holding many county and state offices, and was one of the incorporators and trustees of the Vermont Med ical College. Mrs. Williams possessed her father's love for flowers, and left a large collection ot terns gathered in all parts ot the world, and successfully cultivated at home. Dr. WiUiams died in Santa Barbara, Cal., since the above was written, in December, i8gg. Their children were: i. Edward Higginson, b. at Proctors ville, Vt, Sept. 30, i84g; living (i8g9) at Bethlehem, Pa. He fitted for Yale College at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., 1865-68, and graduated at New Haven in the class bf 1872. Ina bility to use his eyes forced him to join an engineering corps of the Pennsylvania railroad during the ensuing year as chainman ; but from 1873 to 1876 he studied the profession of mining engin eering at the Lehigh University, South Bethlehem, Pa., gradu ating with the cl^ss of 1875 as valedictorian. From 1876 till 1879 he was connected with the mining corps, and in the latter year became chemist for a company at Danville, Pa., and on the change of the firm in the following year became its mining engineer. For a few months, in 1880-1881, he was principal assist ant mining engineer of the Cambria Iron Co, at Johnstown, and in charge of examination ot properties in Canada and the United States. A severe attack of malaria forced him to resign, and after a few months' rest he was elected professor of mining engineering and geology at his second alma mater, which chairs he still holds. Professor Williams is a member of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, and was one of the original Fel lows of the Geological Society of America. He is also a FeUow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and of the American Philosophical Society. He has been three times elected president of the associated alumni of Lehigh. His prin cipal geological work has been the mapping of the Kansan glacial deposits across the state ot Pennsylvania. He has published NORMAN WILLIAMS. See page 205. GEN. WESLEY MERRITT. See page 205. FIELD GENEALOGY. 205 numerous papers on this and kindred subjects and a few books. Since 1867 he has been engaged in compiling the records of the descendants of his ancestors, Robert Williams, of Roxbury, Mass.

George Stoneman's raid toward Richmond, in April and May, 1863, and was in command of the reserve cavalry brigade in the Pennsylvania campaign of the same year, being commis sioned brigadier general of volunteers in June. For gallant and meritorious services during the battle of Gettysburg he was brevetted major. Still in command of his brigade, he took part in the various engagements in central Virginia in 1863-64, and was brevetted Ueutenant-colonel and colonel in the regular army, and major-general for volunteers for gaUantry at the battles of Yel low Tavern, Hawes' Shop and Winchester respectively. On 206 FIELD GENEALOGY. March 13, 1865, he was brevetted brigadier-general and major general in the regular army for bravery at the battle of Five Forks, and his services during the final Virginia campaign, and on April 14th was commissioned major-general of volunteers. After the war he was employed chiefly on frontier duty until 1882, when he was placed in charge of the United States MUitary Academy, at West Point In June, 1887, he was ordered to Fort Leavenworth. He became lieutenant-colonel of the Ninth cav alry in i866, colonel of the Fifth cavalry in 1876, and in 1887 became brigadier-general. Later commanded the department of the Atlantic until assigned, in May, i8g8, to command the United States forces in the Philippine Islands.

He was born in Woodstock, Vt. His father, Norman Williams, was one of the prominent citizens of the Vermont town, as had been his grandfather, Jesse Williams, who was interested in pub lic affairs and was a man of much influence in the state. His mother was Mary Anne Wentworth, whose famUy had contrib uted members who had served in important colonial offices before the Revolution, and more than one member of which served as governor of New Hampshire. When the Revolution came they remained loyal to the crown, and when the English troops evacu ated Boston they were compelled to leave also, as were all the prominent Tories of that time. When young Norman WUliams had finished in the public school ot his native town he was sent to Kimball Union Academy at Meriden, N. H., where he prepared for college. He entered the University of Vermont, from which he was graduated in 1855. He then entered the Albany Law School. He continued his studies in the office ot the law firm of Tracy, Converse & Barrett, at Woodstock, Vt, until he was admitted to practice. After being enrolled as a member of the bar he concluded to come West, and in October, 1858, he was located in Chicago, and with an office as a lawyer. For two years he continued to practice alone, but in i860 he formed a partner ship with King & Kales, and the new firm became King, Kales & Williams. This partnership continued until 1866, when Mr. Wil liams withdrew and became a law partner of Gen. John L. Thompson, under the firm name ot Williams & Thompson. This partnership continued until the death of General Thomp son, in 1888. The firm later became Williams, Holt & Wheeler. Mr. Williams had not been in Chicago long before he won a reputation as a business lawyer, and from that time was identified with some of the largest business enterprises in the city. As legal adviser he assisted in the formation of the Pull man Palace Car company, and became a member of the first board of directors of the company. The organization of the Western Electric company was due to Mr. Williams' efforts. FIELD GENEALOGY. 207 The first telephone for public use in Chicago was brought here by him. The formation of the Chicago Telephone company and the efficient management of it, making it one of the important business institutions in Chicago, were due to the wisdom and business foresight of Mr. Williams. For many years he took a keen interest in electrical matters. He became an expert in the theory and also in the mechanics of electrical engineering. He was also the first legal authority on subjects related to electrical undertakings. When the Paris electrical exposition was held, in 1881, he was made United States Commissioner to it. For many years he was connected with the Western Union Telegraph com pany in an advisory legal capacity, and also managed the more important part ot the litigation of this company in the west His business ability was rewarded with such success that he became rated among the wealthy men of Chicago before he had reached the prime of life. During all of the business years of Mr. Wil liams' life he was a busy man and occupied with large affairs of both legal and commercial nature, yet he found time to devote to public matters. He contributed largely to the formation ot the first regiment of colored soldiers in Chicago during the Civil war and to the arming of them. He also found time for literary affairs. In connection with his brother. Edward H. Williams, he founded the "Norman Williams Public Library," in Woodstock, Vt, this name being given to it in honor of his father. When the late John Crerar made the bequest by which Chicago was given the Crerar Library Norman Williams and Huntington W. Jackson were named in the will as the trustees. He was also a trustee of the Crerar estate. Mr. Williams was made the first president ot the library and the work of organizing the big institution was placed in his hands. He was for many years a director of the Chicago Public Library and one of the most active members of the directory. He was always alert in educational matters. He was a member of the Chicago, the Calumet, the Literary, and the University clubs. He was a student traveler who had passed many seasons in European travel and study, and as a result of these travels he acquired a large and most valuable library. In addition to other business affairs Mr. Williams was tmstee of many large estates and served as executor and guardian in some of the largest. His name was identified with every public enter prise of a big kind in which the people of Chicago have been interested in the last twenty years. Mr. Williams was a member and trustee of the Second Presbyterian church of Chicago. For years he took an active interest in the affairs of this congregation. He also was deeply interested in the affairs of the Chicago Orphan Asylum and was president of the institution. In politics he was a Republican. He always took a part in political affairs, but was never an office seeker, nor did he ever concern himself with machine poUtics. He was one of the organizers and pro moters of the Irish-American Republican club, which became a strong and influential organization in political affairs. Mr. Wil liams was married in Ottawa, IU., to Miss Caroline Caton, daugh ter of the late John Dean Caton, chief justice of the Supreme 208 FIELD GENEALOGY. Court of Illinois. Three children survive him. They are two daughters, Laura and Mary, and a son, Norman. The elder daughter, Laura, is the wife of Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt. Their marriage took place in London, England, on Oct. 24, 1898. Gen eral Merritt had just returned from the Philippine Islands, where he had commanded the land forces in the reduction of Manila. He was sent then to Paris to attend the convention engaged in preparing the treaty of peace with Spain and the United Stnies. Miss Williams met him in London, and there the wedding took place at the Hotel Savoy. In recent years Mr. Williams had not been engaged actively in business, except with the more import ant affairs with which he had been identified previously. Charles S. Holt, for many years a law partner of Norman Wil liams, speaking of the latter, said: "I cannot talk about him now. We were most intimately associated for twenty-three years. No man ever had more friends or was more loyal to them. His whole nature was genial and sweet and he delighted in sacrific ing himself for those he loved. Above all his mental power and professional success he will live in the memory of those that knew him as a man of g^eat and affectionate love." 7. Susan Arnold WUliams, b. Jan. i, 1838; d.

CAPTAIN SETH FIELD (Zechariah, Samuel, Zechariah, John, John, Richard, William, William), b. Deerfield, Mass., Sept 28, 1712; m. in 1741, Susanna Doolittle, dau. of Rev. Benjamin and Lydia (Todd), b. Wallingford, Conn., June 13, 1726; d. Nov. 15, 1787. He was graduated at Yale College in 1732. He was for many years the leading spirit in religious, civil and mUitary affairs in his town. In 1738 Seth Field purchased lot No. 5 of the home lots in the third settlement of Deacon Mattoon. He was a soldier in the French and Indian wars, and for some time was stationed at Fort Dummer. When the proprietors of the second division organized in 1756, Seth Field was elected clerk. In 1728 he was employed as teacher and was prob ably the first person so employed in that town. In 1753 he was lieutenant in the Northfield company, and in 1756 was elected captain. He was town clerk and treas urer for forty years, and schoolmaster for nearly as many. The town voted in to pay him ten shillings a week for teaching school and board himself. He was a commissioner and justice of the peace for many years. He served under Capt Joseph Kellogg against the Indians in 1733. He v^as a lieutenant in Capt. Elijah Williams' company. Col. Israel Williams' regiment, to Crown Point, from June 12 to Nov. 21, 1757, and captain in Col. Israel Williams' regiment at Ticonderoga and Crown Point in 1759, and on the frontier to the close of the Indian war in 1760. He was a lieutenant in Capt. Israel Williams' company. Col. Ephraim WilUams' regi ment, in the memorable fight with the French and Indians near Lake George, Sept. 8, 1755, where Col. Williams was killed. The Indians were noted for their skill in capturing animals in traps and wonderfully expert with their divers ways and rude yank-ups. The latter was nothing more than a stout oak or hickory staddle, bent over and fastened to a notch cut in another tree. The animal when caught in the snare at the end, by struggling would loosen the catch, and the staddle would spring upright, with the game dangling in the air. Capt. Field's old mare once strayed into the woods and got into a trap of this kind set for deer. The squire was astonished when an Indian came running breathless to tell him that "his squaw-horse was caught in a yank-up." July 25, Seth Field writes; "Since the disastrous tidings from Ohio and the delay of the Crown Point forces, the mischief done above vx^ together with our cir cumstances, has so discouraged the hearts of our people that they are almost ready to give up all and care only for their lives. A fine harvest is on the ground, and likely to be lost for want of a guard. The few soldiers we have are constantly on duty, and not half sufficient to guard the laborers. ' ' Asks that one of the companies of Rangers that are between the Connnecticut and the Merrimack rivers may be sent to scout for a few weeks to the northward of Northfield ; says Capt Rice of Rutland is ready to come. What was going on nearer home will appear from the following letters. "Northfield, June 7, 1756. "This evening a post from Winchester informs that the Indians have taken Josiah Foster, his wife and two children from the Bow in Winchester, about 10 o'clock in the morning as 'tis conjectured; though not discovered tUl the sun about two hours high this evening. The house is rifled and a hog kUled at the door. The man and a chUd tracked from the house with the Indians. The numbers can not be ascertained, but supposed to be about 6 or 8 in all. "Seth Field." 222 FIELD GENEALOGY. Aug. 20, Zebediah Stebbins and Reuben Wright went^up from Northfield to work on their lots near Stebbins' Island. Just as they started to return, they were assaulted by a small party of Indians in ambush. The leading facts of the en counter are given in a letter written the next day: "Northfield, Aug. 21, 1756. "To Major WiUiams, Deerfield. "Sir: As two of our Northfield men, viz Zebediah Stebbins and Reuben Wright, were returning from their labor last night about sun half an hour high, a little below Joseph Stebbins' Island, an Indian laying in the path 6 or 7 rods before them fired, shot Wright through the right arm between the shoulder an elbow. They turned and rode 3 or 4 score rods and halted, when the enemy immediately came up and fired a second gun at them. The men then perceived that there were not more than 3 or 4 Indians ; but still rode back a few rods and stopped to have the Indians come up (though they had but one gun). In a minute an Indian came in sight in the path, when Stebbins fired, and the Indian fell and cried out. Stebbins and Wright made oft as tast as they could. The Indians were after Joseph Stebbins as 'tis supposed, who was at work at his house, and who saw 3 of the enemy follow our men. Some of our farmers had in too much haste got out to their homes, but we see that we are still in danger, and I hope we shall take waming and stand bet ter on our guard. "Ye humble servt, "Seth Field." The FaU of Oswego. — While Gen. Winslow was delayed in his intended move ment on Crown Point, the French under Montcalm invested the English fort at Oswego, on the south side of Lake Ontario; and after a short siege, took it, Aug. 14. Our loss was 1,700 men; Shirley's and Pepperell's regiments, 7 armed vessels, carrying from 8 to 18 guns each, 200 bateaux, 107 cannons, 14 mortars, 730 muskets, besides stores. Many of the prisoners were massacred by the Indians, and the rest were sent to France. Anxiety about the plans of the victorious Montcalm led the Massachusetts authorities to issue orders about October i, impressing men from the militia to go to the support of the army under Maj. Gen. Winslow. The follow ing were impressed out of the Northfield foot company: Corporal Thomas Alex ander, Moses Evens, Ebenezer Field, Samuel Field, Eliphaz Wright, Amzi Doolittle, Samuel Stratton, Philip Mattoon, Alexander Norton, Asahel Stebbins, Jona Hunt, Samuel Orris, Daniel Brooks, Amasa Wright, Benj. Miller, Reuben Wright, Thomas Elgar. As soon as the draft was completed, Capt. Seth Field wrote the following letter to Col. Israel Williams: "Northfield, Oct 5, 1756. "Sir: The men impressed are the strength and support of the town; many of them with great families, and under the most difficult circumstances to leave, espe cially in the frontiers ; but I am obliged to take such or none. Our people are in the utmost distrest at the thought of having this town stripped of the first men in it, and there is a general backwardness amongst the men to go and leave their families in such situation and under their difficult circumstances ; for as soon as they leave the town we shall be able to make but a faint resistance against the enemy and must lie at his mercy. We have indeed forts, and but a few feeble men to guard and defend them. Pity and compassion cries loud for an exemption from the double ' burden lying on the frontiers, and especially poor Northfield who has been wasting away by the hand of the enemy these ten years past "Sir, begging your favor for the distressed town, I am ye humble servt, "Seth Field."

He had great faith in the oil and gall of the rattlesnake, and was wont to go late in the autumn before they denned tor the winter, and in early spring before they scattered for the summer to hunt them on Brush mountain. The oil was applied outwardly, and was considered a sovereign remedy for rheumatism. The gall was a specific for fevers. It was mixed with chalk and made into pills. These piUs were an article of regular traffic, and were kept by dealers in drugs, and were often prescribed by physicians.

He removed, in 1761, to Bennington, Vt, and was one of the first settlers of that town. He was liberal in his religious opinions, which it is said was one of his reasons for removing from Sunderland. On account of the troubles with the New York claimants to the lands in Benningfton, he sold, in 1781, and removed to Pittsford, Vt ; in 1782 to Cornwall, Vt, where he died Jan. 18, 1791. At the first town meeting held in Ben nington, March 31, 1762, he was chosen one of the tithing men, and held other town offices. On the organization of a company of militia, Oct. 24, 1764, he was chosen ensign, and was in command of the company at the battle of Bennington, Aug. 16, 1777, and was charged with the care of the captured Hessians from the battleground to the meeting house, in Bennington, beside other guard duties.

His name is signed to a petition to the town clerk to call a meeting to see if the town will join with Guilford to invite the Rev. Abner Reeve, of Hadley, to preach two Sabbaths, one in Brattleboro and one in GuUford, on trial. The meet ing was held July 5, 1770, but Guilford did not come into the arrangement, although two of its citizens, Jasper Partridge and WUliam Nichols, signed the petition. In 728. ii. 729. 111. 730.

Brattleboro was settled by Deerfield people, and Israel Field was one of its early settlers. It is not generally known that the first settlements in Brattleboro, outside the limits of Fort Dummer, were made on property now owned by the Brat tleboro retreat. In 1757 the first settlement was made by Benjamin Moor upon the present site of the retreat farm-house. One year later he was killed by the Indians, and his wife and children carried captives to Canada. Five years afterward, in 1762, John Arms, of Deerfield, subsequently Maj. Arms, and Brattleboro's first post master, established a tavern on the same site, which afterward became famous. Col. Ethan Allen is said to have made this old inn his headquarters when he came here with a detachment of Green Mountain boys to enforce obedience to the author ity of Vermont, while Gen. John Stark was probably a guest of the house just after the Bennington battle. Maj. Arms was killed by the kick of a horse in 1770, leav ing a widow and son, who continued in the hotel business for several years there after. While repairs and renovations were going on at the farm-house during the past summer, a broken rusty sword, consisting of hilt and 18 incnes of blade, every part of which was hand-made, was unearthed, and near by an old-fashioned iron door-knocker was found. The second settlement was made in 1762 by Samuel Wells, also of Deerfield, who later became both a colonel and judge. He built a log-house half a mile west of the present Linden lodge, the cellar of which is still to be seen. The house was completely surrounded by a dense growth of stately oaks and pines. The first clearing was made north of the house, and was subsequently , known and referred to as the "Log'us" lot, meaning, of course, "log-house lot." Ten years later, about 1772, he built the substantial and commodious three-story house which now forms the front part of Linden lodge, one room of which, elabor ately paneled and filled with solid sliding window shutters, evidently designed as a means of protection against outside invasion, is carefully preserved. Massive tim bers were used in the construction of this buUding, and, notwithstanding their service of 126 years, are apparently as sound as when framed. Hand-made wrought iron nails were used exclusively, and may still be seen projecting from the cupboards. This is now the oldest house in Brattleboro. Res. Brattleboro, Vt. 736. i.

From the division of the estate of Anna, the first wife of Zebulon Field, it ap pears that the committee appointed in 1797 to make the division, first "made in quiry to know how much of said estate or what parts of Shares had been transferred from the original heirs, to-wit: Richard Field, Zebulon Field, Elizabeth Presho, Mary Knap, Zibiah Dean and Anna Woodward." They found that Elizabeth Presho had sold three-sevenths of her share in the two farms, and all her share in , the cedar swamps to Zebulon Field, and four-sevenths of her share in said farms to Nathaniel Field ; that Richard Field had sold to James Leonard, of Taunton, then deceased, all his share in the two farms, which was two-sevenths thereof, he being the eldest son and entitled to a double share ; that said James Leonard had sold one- half of said double share to his son, James, who had sold to Nathaniel Field one-half of what he bought from his father ; that Mary Knap had sold one-half of her share in the entire estate to Zebulon Field, and the other half to Nathaniel Field. The persons who owned the estate at the time of the division and the proportions in which they held it were as follows: In the two farms, Zebulon Field, by inherit ance and purchase (seventeen forty-ninths) 17-49; Nathaniel Field, by purchase, 14^^-49; heirs of James Leonard, deceased, by purchase, 7-49; James Leonard, 'Dy purchase, 3^^-49; Anna Woodward, by inheritance, 7-49. In the cedar swamps, Zebulon Field, by inheritance and purchase, 21-49; K-ichard Field, by inheritance, double share, 14-49; Nathaniel Field, by purchase, 7-49: Anna Woodward, by inheritance, 7-4g. The estate was divided in the above proportions, aud the division recorded in the probate office at Taunton. It is evident that of the eighteen chU dren of Zebulon Field, only six were by his first wife. Wealthy, who has been claimed as a daughter of Anna, was born about seven years after Zebulon' s second marriage, and probably was the fourth child of his second wife. Patience. James Leonard, who bought the double share of Richard Field in the two farms, was a son of WUliam and Sarah (Bolton) Leonard; b. in 1716; m. in 1737, Jemima Heiford; d. in 1787, leaving a widow, Jemima; James, the son, m. in 1770; Eunice Smith, his wife (Eunice) signed the deed which he gave to Nathaniel Field in I7g2. Neither James could have been the husband of Wealthy Field. As will be seen by the will, his wife Patience was appointed executrix, but she declined, and Ephraim Wilbor, of Norton, settled the estate as administrator with the will annexed. Will— In the name of God, Amen. I, Zebulon Field, of Taunton, in the County of Bristol, in the State of Massachusetts Bay, yeoman, being sick and weak in body, but of perfect mind and memory, thanks being given unto Godj calling unto mind the mortality of my body, and knowing it is appointed once for all men to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament that is to say, principally and first of all, I recommend my soul unto Almighty God that gave it, and my body I rec ommend to the earth to be buried in decent Christian burial at the discretion of my executrix; nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again, by the mighty power of God, and as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to give me in this life, I give, devise and dispose in the following manner and form : First 1 give and bequeath to Patience, my truly beloved wife, whom I like wise constitute, make and ordain the sole executrix of my last will and testament, all and singular, my horned cattle and my sheep and my household goods, and my pew in the Baptist Meeting House, by her freely to be enjoyed.

Sept. 2, 1768; will proved Sept. 29, 1768. By first item he provides for support of his widow, in lieu of her dower, but the widow declines to accept the will. By fifth item he gives his home stead farm in Cranston to his sons, Daniel and Jeremiah, in equal shares, "but as my son Daniel Field is now absent on a voyage at sea, and at present unheard of, and in case my said son, Daniel, should never return home from said voyage, then my will is, and I do hereby give and devise what I have herein given to my said son Daniel unto my son Jeremiah he providing for and maintaining his mother in Manner and under the restrictions as aforesaid and to be and remain unto him my said son Jeremiah his heirs and assigns forever." By another clause he gives the "farming tackle" and cows and sheep and horses to Daniel and Jeremiah, or to Jeremiah alone in case Daniel does not return. And by another clause gives some furniture, etc., to Daniel, but to go to Jeremiah in case Daniel does not return; and finally divides the residue among his children, including Daniel, but Daniel's por tion to be divided among all sons in case Daniel does not return. There is no record of a Daniel Field at this period on the Cranston land and probate records. Son William was named as one of the executors, but declined to act The widow declined to accept the conditions of the will. There is no record of any division of the property. But on April i, 1777, appear some important real estate transactions, in relation to the homestead farm, which was g^ven to Daniel and Jeremiah. Jer emiah appears to be sole possessor, as Abigail, widow of his father, conveys to him her right of dower in that farm, and in another piece of property in his (her son's) possession. Jeremiah gives bond for ;i^i,3oo to his mother, conditioned on his agree ment to pay her ;^39 annually during her life. Jeremiah (and wife Lydia) conveys for ;^i,95o the homestead farm and other lands to his brother William. April 2, 1777. William Field mortgaged the homestead farm to Zephaniah Brown. He d.

He was a member of the Continental Congress, 1782- 83-84-85; United States judge, district of Rhode Island; United States commissioner for settlement of the northeastern boundaries ; tutor, professor and president pro tem., and for fifty -two years a member of the board of fellows of Brown University.

He was graduated from Brown University in 1803 ; was collector of the port of Providence under Polk; chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas, Rhode Island; author of "The Spirit of Seventy-six in Rhode Island." Judge Cowell devoted much of his time in his later years to preparing and substantiating pension claims, which required extensive re search and examination of old muster rolls, marriage records. Bibles and gravestones, and he accumulated an amount of infor mation concerning the revolutionary history of the State of Rhode Island, greater probably than that of any man of his time. A small part of this store he incorporated in his book, and such is his reputation for accuracy, that the presence of a name on one of his lists of muster rolls is sufficient to substantiate the claim of a de scendant to membership in any of the patriotic societies.

Benjamin Cowell was one of the "Argonauts of '4g," making two trips to Califomia during the gold excitement. In the great fire in San Francisco, May 3, 1851, it was by his advice that a successful eftort was made to save the great store of Cook Brothers & Co. At the head of a few volun teers he shut himself in the building, cutting off all chance of escape, as the flames quickly surrounded them. For six hours they labored at a force pump in the cellar, with the outer iron doors and shutters often at a white heat, and by heroic exertions saved the buUding and themselves. In this fire more than fifty large stores and some hundreds of smaller buildings were destroy ed. On his return from San Francisco in 1854, he suffered ship wreck on the ill-fated steamer Yankee Blade. In 1856 he removed to Chicago and with the late C. S. Halsey established the homoe opathic pharmacy of Cowell & Halsey, the oldest in the west. He sold out in 1858, and removed to Peoria, III., where he lived the remainder of his life. He was one of the first stockholders and treasurers of the Peoria Street Railroad Co. Ch. : ic. Joseph Har ris, b. April 4, 1847. 2C. Elizabeth HoweU, b. Oct. 18, 1848; d.

The writer would mention, before completing his account of the different members of the famUy, formerly living in these three parishes, that an old house on the south side of the street at Crofton has on it the arms ot the Fields of Wake field Manor, viz., a chevron, between three garbs.

May 9, 1723, White HUl, N. J. ; m. there Mary Peale, dau. of Oswald and Lydia. Robert Field was the son of Robert Field and Mary Taylor. He was b. May 9, 1723. He lived at "White Hill," on the Delaware river, in the county of Burlington, N. J. , a plantation which had been in possession of the family from their first settlement in the State. In 1774 he was chairman of a public meeting of Burlington county, which sent delegates to the State convention held in New Brunswick in that year, to devise means to resist British oppression, and favored both a provincial and a continental congress. He m. Mary, dau. of Oswald and Lydia Peale. He d. Jan. 29, 1775. His death has always been involv ed in mystery. He was going down to Philadelphia from his home at White Hill. on a sloop, Jan. 29, 1775. He left the sloop for a few hours during a calm, and went on shore to call on a pioneer; when the wind arose at twelve o'clock at night, the captain sent a rowboat for him attended by one man. When the boat reached the sloop he was missing, and was never heard from again, although every effort was made to recover his body. He was distinguished for the respectability of his char acter and fortune, and as one of the earliest asserters of the rights and liberties of his country. He d. Jan. 29, 1775; res.

Richard Stockton. He was son of Richard Stockton, the signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Annie Boudinot and one of a family of eight children. Richard Stockton was b. near Princeton, N. J., April 17, 1764; d. there March 7, 1828; was graduated at Princeton in 1779; stud ied law in Newark with Elias Boudinot ; was admitted to the bar in 1784, and began to practise in his native place. He was a pres idential elector in i7g2 and i7g6; was chosen to the United States Senate as a Federalist for the unexpired term of Frederick Fre- linghuysen resigned, serving from Dec. 6 of that year till March 3, i7gg, when he declined to be a candidate for re-election. He served in the lower house of Congress in 1813-15, and again declin ed further candidacy. During his service in the House of Repre sentatives he had a debate with Chas. J. Ingersoll, of Philadel phia, on free trade and sailors' rights. In 1825 he was appointed one of the commissioners on the part of New Jersey to settle a territorial dispute with New York, and he was the author of the able argument that is appended to the report of the New Jersey 256 FIELD GENEALOGY. commissioners. Mr. Stockton possessed profound legal knowledge and much eloquence as an advocate, and for more than a quarter of a century held the highest rank at the bar of his native state. He received the degree of LL.D. from Queen's (now Rutgers) Col lege in 1815, and from Union in 1816. He was often called "the Duke." His son, Robert Field Stockton, was b. in Princeton, N. J., Aug. 20, I7g5; d. there Oct. 7, 1866; studied at Princeton College, but before completing his course, he entered the United States navy as a midshipman, Sept. i, 1811. He joined the frigate "President" at Newport, Feb. 14, 1812, and made several cruises in that ship with Commodore Rodgers, with whom he went as aide to the "Guerriere" at Philadelphia; but as the ship was unable to go to sea, Rodgers took his crew to assist in defending Baltimore. Before the arrival of the British, Stockton went to Washington and became the aide of the secretary of the navy, after which he re sumed his post with Commodore Rodgers, and took part in the operations at Alexandria. He then went with Rodgers to Balti more and had command of 300 sailors in the defence of that city against the British army. He was highly commended, and pro moted to lieutenant Sept. 9, 1814. On May 18, 1815, he sailed in the "Guerrifere," Decatur's flagship, for the Mediterranean after the declaration of war with Algiers, but he was transferred soon afterward to the schooner "Spitfire" as first lieutenant, in which vessel he participated in the capture of the Algerine frigate "Mahouda," and led the boarders at the capture of the Algerine brig "Esledio" in June, 1815. In February, 1816, he joined the ship-of-the-line "Washington," and made another cruise in the Mediterranean, in the course of which he was transferred to the ship "Erie," of which he soon became executive officer. The American officers very often had disputes with British officers, and frequent duels took place. At one time in Gibraltar, Stockton had accepted chaUenges to fight all the captains of the British regi ment in the garrison, and several meetings took place. In one case after wounding his adversary, he escaped arrest by knocking one of the guards from his horse, which he seized and rode to his boat. Stockton came home in command of the "Erie" in 1821. Shortly after his return the American Colonization Society obtain ed his services to command the schooner "Alligator" for the pur pose of founding a colony on the west coast of Africa. He sailed in the autumn of 1821, and after skilful diplomatic conferences ob tained a concession of a tract of territory near Cape Mesurado, which has since become the Republic of Liberia. In November, 1821, the Portuguese letter of marque "Mariana Flora" fired on the "Alligator," which she mistook for a pirate. After an engage ment of twenty minutes the Portuguese vessel was taken and the capture was declared legal though the prize was retumed by courtesy to Portugal. On a subsequent cruise in the "Alligator" he captured the French slaver "Jenue Eugenie," by which action the right to seize slavers under a foreign flag was first established as legal. He also captured several piratical vessels in the West Indies. From 1826 until December, 1838, he was on leave, and resided at Princeton, N. J. He organized the New Jersey Col- STOCKTON COAT-OF-ARMS.

FIELD GENEALOGY. 257 onization Society, became interested in the turf, and imported fom England some of the finest stock of blooded horses. He also took an active part in politics, and became interested in the Dela ware and Raritan canal, for which he obtained the charter that had originally been given to a New York company, and vigorously prosecuted the work. His whole fortune and that of his family were invested in the enterprise, which was completed, notwith standing the opposition of railroads and a financial crisis by which he was obliged to go to Europe to negotiate a loan. He retained his interest in this canal during his life, and the work stands as an enduring monument to his energy and enterprise. In December, 1838, he sailed with Commodore Isaac Hall in the flagship "Ohio" as fleet captain of the Mediterranean squadron, being promoted to captain on Dec. 8. He returned in the latter part of 1839, and took part in the presidential canvass of 1840 in favor of Gen. Wil liam Henry Harrison. After John Tyler became president, Stock ton was offered a seat in the cabinet as Sec. of the Navy, which he declined. The U. S steamer "Princeton" was built under his super vision at Philadelphia early in 1844. He was appointed to command the ship, and brought her to Washington for the inspection of offi cials and members of Congress. On a trial trip down the Potomac river, when the President, Cabinet and a distinguished company were on board, one of the large guns burst and killed the Secretary of State, Secretary of the Navy, the President's father-in-law, and several of the crew, while a great many were seriously injured. A naval court of inquiry entirely exonerated Captain Stockton. Shortly after this event he sailed in the "Princeton" as bearer of the annexation resolutions to the government of Texas. In October, 1845, he went in the "Congress" from Norfolk to serve as commander-in-chief of the Pacific squadron, on the eve of the Mexi can war. He sailed around Cape Horn to the Sandwich Islands, and thence to Monterey, where he found the squadron in posses sion under Commodore John D. Sloat, whom Stockton relieved. News of the war had been received by the squadron before his arrival, and Monterey and San Francisco were captured. Stock ton assumed command of all American forces on the coast by proclamation, July 23, 1846. He organized a battalion of Ameri cans in California and naval brigades from the crews of the ships. Col. John C. Fremont also co-operated with him. He sent Fre mont in the "Cyane" to San Diego, while he landed at Santa Bar bara and marched thirty miles with the naval brigade to the Mex ican capital of California, the city of Los Angeles, of which he took possession on Aug. 13. He then organized a civil government for the State, and appointed Col. Fremont governor. Rumors of a rising of the Indians compelled him to return to the north in Sep tember. The force that he left at Los Angeles was besieged by the Mexicans in his absence, and Stockton was obliged to sail to San Diego. He landed at that place, drove out the enemy, and sent a force to the rescue of Gen. Stephen W. Kearny, who had been defeated by the Mexicans on the way to San Diego. Gen. Keamy, with sixty dragoons, then served under Stockton's orders, and the force [proceeded to Los Angeles, 150 miles distant An 258 FIELD GENEALOGY. engagement took place at San Gabriel on Jan. 8, 1847, foUowed by the battle of La Mesa the next day, in which the Mexicans were routed. Col. Fremont had raised an additional force of Califor nians, by which the force under Stockton amounted to more than 1,000 men. Negotiations were opened with the Mexican govemor, and the entire province of Califomia was ceded to the United States and evacuated by the Mexican authorities. The treaty with Mexico was subsequently confirmed. Gen. Keamy raised a dispute with Stockton for his assumption of command over military forces, but Stockton's course was sustained by virtue of his conquest. On Jan. 17, 1847, he returned to San Diego, and then sailed to Monterey, where he was relieved by Commodore Wm. B. Shu brick. Stockton retumed home overland during the summer. He was the recipient of honors by all parties, and the legislature of New Jersey gave him a vote of thanks and a reception. The people of Califomia, in recognition of his services, named for him the city of Stockton, and also one of the principal streets of San Francisco. On May 28, 1850, he resigned from the navy in order to settle his father-in-law's estate in South Carolina and attend to his private interests. He continued to take part in politics, was elected to the United States senate, and took his seat Dec i, 1851, but resigned Jan. 10, 1853, and retired to private life. During his brief service in the Senate he introduced and advocated the bill by which flogging was abolished in the navy. He also urged measures for coast defence. After he resigned from the Senate he devoted himself to the development of the Delaware and Rar itan canal, of which he was president until his death. He contin ued to take an interest in politics, became an ardent supporter of the "American" party, and was a delegate to the peace congress that met in Washington, Feb. 13, 1861. (See his "Life and Speeches," New York, 1856.) He m. Harriet Maria Potter, and d. at Princeton, N. J., in 1866. His wife d. there in 1862. In December, 1899, the United States Government built a tor pedo boat at Richmond, Va., and it was named Stockton, in honor of the Commodore. The Stockton is a sister ship of the Shubrick, and is of the following dimensions: Length, 175 feet; beam, 17 feet; graft, 4 feet 8 inches; displacement on trial, 165 tons; speed expected on trial, 26 knots ; diameter of H. P. Engine cylinder, 14 inches; diameter of I. P. Engine cylinder, 22 inches; diameter each L. P. Engine cylinder, 25^ inches; stroke of engine, 18 inches; grate area of boiler, 136.8 square feet; heating surface of boiler, 7,548 square feet; indicated horse-power, 3,000; number revolutions of engine, 350; boiler pressure, 250 pounds square inch. The Stockton is to have twin screws, vertical engines, placed in separate water-tight compartments each with a con denser and bunker capacity for at least forty tons of coal. It will be lighted throughout with electricity and furnished with one searchlight of an approved pattern. It is to have two conning towers, the forward one to be of one-half inch nickel steel plates. The battery will be composed of three rapid-fire guns and mounts, weighing about two tons with three and a half tons of FIELD GENEALOGY. 259 ammunition. There will be mounted on deck in approved posi tions three 15-foot torpedo tubes with torpedoes and storage space below for two additional torpedoes and five war heads. All ordnance weights will amount in total to about thirteen tons. Berthing space will be provided for a crew of twenty-six men and three officers, and provision space for twenty days. John Potter Stockton was son of Robert Field Stockton, and was b. in Princeton, N. J., Aug. 2, 1826; was graduated at Prince ton in 1843 ; studied law; was licensed to practise as an attorney in 1847, and came to the bar in 1850. He was appointed by the leg islature a commissioner to revise and simplify the proceedings and practise in the courts of law of the State, and was for several years afterward reporter to the court of chancery. In 1857 he was ap pointed United States minister to Rome, but in 1861 he was recall ed at his own request. In 1865 he was chosen United States sen ator from New Jersey by a plurality vote of the legislature, a res olution changing the number necessary to elect from a majority to a plurality having been passed by the joint convention that elected him. On this ground, after he had taken his seat in the Senate, several members of the legislature sent to the Senate a protest against his retaining it. The committee on the judiciary unani mously reported in favor of the validity of his election, and their report was accepted by a vote of 22 to 21, Mr. Stockton voting in the affirmative. His vote was objected to by Charles Sumner, and on the following day, March 27, 1866, he withdrew it and was unseated by a vote of 23 to 21. He then devoted himself to the practice of his profession, but in i86g was re-elected to the Senate, and served one term till 1875. While in that body he advocated the establishment of life-saving stations on the coast, and procured on the appropriation bills the first provision for their maintenance. He served on the committees on foreign affairs, the navy, appro priations, patents, and public buildings and grounds, and took part in the debate on reconstruction, and in the discussion of questions of international law. In 1877 he was appointed attorney general of New Jersey, and he was chosen again in 1882 and 1887. In this office he has sustained by exhaustive arguments the sys tem of railroad taxation, reversing in the court of errors the de cisions of the supreme court against the State. Mr. Stockton had been a delegate-at-large to all the democratic national conventions since that of 1864, where, as chairman of the New Jersey delega tion, he nominated G«n. Geo. H. McClellan for the presidency. He was also a delegate to the Unionists convention at Philadel phia in 1866. Princeton gave him the degree of LL.D. in 1882. He has published "Equity Reports," being the decisions of the courts of chancery and appeals (three volumes, Trenton, 1856-60). He d. in New York city in January, 1900. Another son of Robert Field Stockton was Richard ; m. April 23, 1851, Caroline Bayard Dod, b. December, 1832, dau. of Prof. Albert Baldwin Dod, d. 1859. He m. again and d. in 1876. Rich ard Stockton was b. at Morven, Princeton, N. J., Jan. 2, 1824. He graduated from Princeton University in the class of '49, taking the degree of A.B. In the year '52 he took the degree of A.M. He '260 FIELD GENEALOGY. studied law in the office of his cousin. Judge Robert Field, and was admitted to the bar of New Jersey a few years later. He was treasurer of the Camden and Ambay railroad for many years* After his father. Commodore Stockton's, death, he was the only one of his children to live in Princeton. Trinity Church, of which he was a member, speaks of him in the parish record as follows: "Mr. Richard Stockton continued to reside in Princeton until his death, which occurred on AprU 5, 1876. An inheritor of the knightly traits of his ancestors, he died lamented by our whole community." Ch. : i. Caroline Bayard Stockton, d. 1895. 2. Mary Stockton, m. 1880, Rev. Arthur B.

Stockton, 67 years old, dropped dead of heart disease this afternoon at his home in Stockton street. Five days ago he received news of the death of his son, Charles Stock ton, a civil engineer with the Nicaragua Canal Company. Since then he had been ill, and it is believed worry hastened his death. Colonel Stockton was a descendant of Richard Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was one of the largest land owners in Princeton. His estate includes the land on which the battle of Princeton was fought. He is survived by Mrs. Stock ton, three daughters, and one son, Samuel Stockton, Jr., who was one of the rough riders at San Juan Hill. FROM MORE COLONIAL HOMESTEADS. [By Marion Harland (Mrs. Mary V. Terhune).] "The History of Princeton, by John Frelinghuysen Hageman," Counsellor-at-Law, Princeton, N. J., diverges from the dusty road of historical and statistical details to give us a passage which is poetical in spirit and graceful in wording: "The long row of large, though knotted and gnarled, catalpas, still in vigorous life, along the whole front oE Morven, on Stockton street, having survived the less ancient pines which alternated them, were planted by him" (Richard (IV.) Stockton). "This row of catalpas in front of Morven can only be viewed as a sacred memorial to the signer of the Declaration. The Fourth of July is the great day in Mr. Stockton's calendar, as it is in that of our country, and these catalpas, with the undeviating certainty of the seasons, put on their pure white blooming costume, every Fourth of July. For this reason, they have been called, very fitly in this FIELD GENEALOGY. 261 country, the 'Independence Tree.' For one hundred years (this in 1876) have these trees pronounced the annual panegyric upon the memory of the man who planted them." Richard (V. ) Stockton, surnamed by college mates and towns men "the Duke," whUe lacking his father's unfailing courtesy of mien and affability to lofty and low, won and held the respect of his fellow citizens. "He was a gentleman of a lofty sense of honor and the sternest integrity," testifies an eminent lawyer who stud ied his profession in Mr. Stockton's office. "He had a great abhorrence of everything mean and unworthy." From the same authority, Mr. Samuel J. Bayard, of Princeton, we have a characteristic anecdote of "the Duke." When Lafay ette made the tour of America in 1824-26, the master of Morven was appointed by the committee of reception to act as their mouth piece in welcoming the distinguished visitor to Princeton. Mr. Bayard writes: "In the morning of the day on which Lafayette was to arrive, the council assembled to hear Mr. Stockton read his address. He commenced by saying 'Monsieur le Marquis de la Fayette.' After he concluded, I suggested timidly that Lafayette had renounced his title in the National Assembly and that he would prefer in this country to be called 'General.' Mr. Stockton sternly said, 'Once a marquis, always a marquis. I shall address him by what was his title before the infamous French revolution.' And he did so address him." Mr. Stockton was elected twice to Congress, once to the Senate, and once to the House, and stood tor a quarter century in the front rank of American jurists. He d. at Morven in 1828. His eldest son Richard (VI.) who should have come after him in the proprietorship of the now ancient homestead, removed to Mississippi before his father's death, and continued there the prac tice of law he had begun with flattering promise of success in New Jersey. He was attomey general of his adopted State when he was killed in a duel with a brother judge. Morven, with two hundred and seventy acres of surrounding land, together with fifteen thousand acres in North CaroUna and other tracts in New Jersey and elsewhere, composed the fortune Robert Field Stockton, ''the Duke's" second son, found waiting for him when called to take the place left vacant by his father's death. He had entered Princeton College in the thirteenth year of his age. Mr. Hageman relates that "in his boyhood he was charac terized for his personal courage, a high sense of honor, a hatred of injustice with unbounded generosity, and a devoted attachment to his friends." Added to these were ambitions that seemed audacious in a boy, and a thirst for adventure rarely developed in American youths bom to "expectations." These aspirations begat such restlessness in the high-spirited boy that he left col lege before the time for graduation, and entered the navy, a serv ice then mightily stimulated by the prospect of another war with Great Britain. Robert Field Stockton received his midshipman's commission in 181 1, and was sent on board the frigate "President," 262 FIELD GENEALOGY. then preparing for a patrol cruise along the coast threatened by British vessels. In the war of 1812, his dauntless courage and keen delight in the excitement and danger of battle earned for him the nickname of "Fighting Bob," a title that stayed by him all tis life. Ten years, crowded with perils and happenings, elapsed before he was again at Morven. His parents were living, and had, be sides himself, seven other children. The young falcon had tried his • wings and knew their strength and the joys of fiight. At twenty-eight he had fought under Decatur at Algiers, cruised and explored and battled under Bainbridge, Rodgers and Chauncey, and risen to the rank of lieutenant. Philanthropy entered into the next project that fired his ardent young soul. In 1821 he sailed for the coast of Africa, commanding officer of a new vessel, and, as actuary of the American Colonization Society, commissioned to select a location for the colony of liberated negroes they purposed to establish near the British settlement of Sierra Leone. The his tory of the expedition belittles, in stirring incident, hairbreadth escapes, and daring enterprise, the most improbable of Steven son's, Hope's and Weyman's fictions. After his party of three white men and an interpreter had forced their way through morass, jungle and forest to the village of the African chief, "King Peter," they were confronted by a horde of murderous savages, infuriated by the rumor that the object of the strangers' visit was to convict the tribe of supplying slavers with prisoners takeii in internecine warfare, and women and children stolen from their enemies* villages. I extract from Hageman's History a partial account of the scene given by Dr. Ayres, an eye witness: "Stockton instantly, with his clear, ringing tone of voice, com manded silence. The multitude was hushed as if a thunderbolt had fallen among them, and every eye was turned upon the speaker. Deliberately drawing a pistol from his breast and cock ing it, he gave it to Dr. Ayres, saying, while he pointed to the mulatto- 'Shoot that villain if he opens his lips again!' Then, with the same deliberation, drawing another pistol and leveling it at the head of King Peter, and directing him to be silent until he heard what was to be said, he proceeded to explain the true object of his refusal to execute it, threatening the worst punishment of an angry God if he should fail to perform his agreement "During this harangue, delivered through an interpreter, the whole throng, horror-struck with the danger of their king and awed by the majesty of an ascendant mind, sunk gradually, cow ering prostrate to the ground. If they had believed Stockton to be an immediate messenger from heaven they could not have quailed and shrunk and humbled themselves to more humiliating postures. Like true savages, the transition in their minds from ferocity to abject cowardice was sudden and involuntary. King Peter was quite as much overcome with fear as any of the crowd, and Stockton, as he perceived the effect of his own intrepidity, pressed the yielding mood only with more sternness and vehe mence." FIELD GENEALOGY. 263 The territory purchased for the American Colonization Society by Lieutenant Stockton is now the Republic of Liberia. As the determined opponent of the slave trade, he chased and captured a number of slave-ships sailing under false colors; feret- ted out more than one nest of pirates, and dragged the offenders to justice. He had crowded the events and perils of a lifetime into his thirty-one years of mortal existence when he seemed con tent to settle down to the peaceful pursuits of a country gentleman in the home and town his forefathers had founded. For sixteen years he had never asked for a furlough, and now, while holding himself in readiness to respond to the recall to active service, he engaged with characteristic energy in the duties that lay nearest his hand. He was the president of the Colonization Society ; the importer of blooded racers from England ; the eloquent supporter of Andrew Jackson's claims t'o the presidential chair; the largest shareholder and most active promoter of the Delaware and Rar itan Canal Company, making a voyage to England to effect a loan in behalf of the scheme. Jackson's advocate was not Van Buren's. Captain Stockton "stumped" New Jersey for "Tippecanoe and Tyler too," in 1840, and, when Harrison's death made John Tyler president, was offered and declined the secretaryship of the navy. "Fighting Bob's" tastes did not lie in the direction of state desks, portfolios and audiences of office-seekers. One of the great honors and the great catastrophe of his event ful life came to him Feb. 28, 1844. At his eamest request the Navy Department authorized him to construct the first steamship- of-war ever successfully launched. The marvel was named by her gratified inventor — The Princeton. The trial trip was made down the Potomac. The passengers were the President and Cab inet, many members of Congress and distinguished residents of Washington. The two great guns were fired amid wild enthusi asm. They were still at table when some of the company were seized with a desire to have one of the big guns fired a second time. The captain objected, smilingly. "No more guns to night!" he said, decidedly. The request was pressed by the Secretary of the Navy, and the captain fired the gun with his own hand. A terrific explosion en sued. The iron monster had burst, and five of the guests, includ ing the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Navy, were killed instantly. Although the court of inquiry absolved Captain Stockton from all blame, he carried the awful memory of the day all his life, and could never allude to it without profound emotion. We have not room for more than a hasty summary of other achievements of this eminent scion of a noble race. He took pos session of ^California for the United States, and formed a provis ional government there in 1846, thus securing the jurisdiction for his nation before the close of the Mexican war. The first printing press and schoolhouse in California were his work. He resigned his command in the navy, May 28, 1850; was United States sena tor from New Jersey, 1851-53: was the nominee of the "American 264 FIELD GENEALOGY. Party" for the presidency in 1856, a ticket withdrawn, at his in stance, before election day. In 1861, he wrote to Governor Olden "to consider the bestmeans of preserving our own State from aggression. "You remember it is only the River Delaware that separates New Jersey from the Slave States. If you should see fit to call upon me for any aid that I can render, it is freely rendered. This is no time to potter about past differences of opinion, or to criti cise the administration of public affairs. I shall hoist the Star- Spangled Banner at Morven, the former residence of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence — that flag, which, when a boy, I nailed to the frigate 'President' " Commodore Stockton drew his last breath where he had drawn his first — in Morven. He saw the July blossoming of the catalpas in 1866. Catalpas were in the sere, elms, chestnuts, and maples in the yellow leaf,' when the keen eyes closed upon earthly change and glory. He d. Oct. 7, 1866, in his seventy-first year, "full of vigor and energy. No infirmity of body had g^ven a premonition of his death," writes the historian. "His health had been pre served by his abstemious habits of life and general care of him self. . . . He was impulsive, yet self-possessed, generous and noble, with a wonderful magnetism over men when he came into personal contact with them." In 1824, when twenty-nine years old, he married a South Caro lina belle. Miss Marie Potter, daughter of Mr. John Potter, then of Charleston, S. C, afterwards a prominent citizen of Princeton. Commodore Stockton survived his excellent wife for several years. Their sons were Richard (VIL), a lawyer of note, and treasurer of the Delaware and Raritan Company; John Potter Stockton, who became attorney-general of the State and an active and pop ular United States senator; Gen. Robert Field Stockton, comp troller of the State of New Jersey — all men of rare ability, and useful citizens of State and nation. Six daughters grew to wom anhood — Mrs. P. D. Howell, Mrs. Admiral Howell, Mrs. W. R. Brown, Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. W. A. Dod, and Miss Marie Stockton. Morven lapsed out of the straight line of succession at Commo dore Stockton's death. It remained in the family until it was bought by Rev. Dr. Shields, of Princeton. His daughter, the wife of Bayard Stockton, Esq., a grandson of Commodore Stock ton, is now the graceful mistress of the venerable mansion. The venerable homestead is therefore restored to the lineal succession of the founders. Front and back doors of the wide hall stood open to let in spring sunshine and airs when 1 visited Morven in the present year. A tall Japan apple-tree (pyrus floribunda) on one side of the porch flamed red and clear as the bush that burned on Horeb ; other clumps of flowering shrubbery, pink, white and yellow, lighted up the grounds, laid out one hundred and thirty years ago after the pattern of Mr. Pope's at Twickenham. Horse-chestnuts still stand in line to indicate the course of ancient avenues, and the rugged catalpas defiant of the centuries, mount guard upon the outskirts of the lawn. At the left of the entrance hall is the dining room, - 'f'^'Mi BAYARD STOCKTON, ESQ. See page 360. WILLIAII J. STRONG. See paj^e 311. REV. WM. HENRY BEARD.

FIELD GENEALOGY. 265 where Washington and his generals — Lafayette and Rochambeau and Viscount de Chastellux — Cornwallis and his officers, grave and reverend seigniors from every land under the sun, and nearly every president of the United States, have broken bread and quafied the generous vintage for which the Morven cellars have always been famous. A scarf wrought by the deft fingers of the present lady of the manor is thrown over a sideboard, and bears this legend: "Sons of Morven spread the feast, and send the night away in song." The drawing-room is across the hall, and we pass up the stair case to the chamber where Cornwallis "lay" — in archaic phrase — during the four weeks in which Washington was making ready to dislodge him. The carved mantel in this room was in place then, and the logs blazed merrily below when the Delaware and Raritan werd frozen over, and the deposed master of Morven was being done to his. death in common jail and prison ship. The giant horse chestnut at the rear of the house sprang from a nut planted by one of the Pintard brothers when they were court ing the sisters, Abigail and Susannah Stockton, more than a hun dred and fifty years ago. The patriarch tree is eleven feet in girth, and upbears his crown far above the ridge-pole of the house it has shaded for seven generations of human life. Upon the circular platform at its root Comtnodore Stockton used to arrange dancing parties on moonlight nights, when the branches were heavy with blossoms and the summer air sweet with their odor. "And do not ghosts walk here?" I say incredulously, pausing for a long look at the portrait of "the Commodore" against the wall in the dining-room, his sword suspended under it. The hostess, so slight of figure, so girlish in the riante face and clear, youthful tones that — set in the storied spaces of the old colonial homestead — she reminds me of nothing so much as the poet's "violet by a mossy stone,'" makes laughing reply: "None ! That is, none that trouble this generation. " 863. iv. ROBERT, b. July 10, 1 76g; d. young. 864. V. GRACE, b. Oct 10, 1770; d. young. 865. vi. SUSAN, b. April 20, 1772; d. young. 866. vil. SAMUEL, b.

Their union is recorded in the Friends' register of Newport, R. 1., as follows: "John Field of the purchase in the County of Westchester, in the province of New York, son of Anthony and Hannah Field and Lydia Hazard, daughter of William Hazard and Phoebe his wife of Jamestown married 8th of 6th 1763 at the meeting house in Jamestown." John Field removed from Harrison to Yorktown, which is also in Westchester county, and lies a few miles back of Peekshill, and died there in 1815. The Hazard family of Rhode Island has been a numerous one, and it has always held a prominent position in that state. William Hazard, the father of Lydia Field, was son of Caleb Hazard and Abigail Gardner, great granddaughter of Joseph Gardner, one of the first settlers of Rhode Island. Caleb Hazard was son of . George, grandson of Robert, and great grandson of Thomas Hazard, who was in Rhode Island about the time of its settlement by Roger Williams. This Thomas is supposed to be the person of that name who was admitted freeman at the Massachusetts general court. May 25, 1636, and his son Robert is said to have been four years old when they arrived in America, probably not long before this date. Th-e ancestry of Thomas Hazard has not been satisfactorily traced, as far as the author knows. Some accounts say that he came from Wales ; but this statement does not seem to rest on any solid foundation, and the writer is disposed to think that he belonged to the family of Lyme Regis, Dorsetshire. It is also said that he was a shipbuilder, a branch of industry which fiourished at the place named, at the time of his emigration. Unfortunately the parish registers of Lyme Regis contain but one entry between 1572 and i64g. The family of this town were descended from a John Hazard, or Hassard, lord ot the manor of Seafon in i46g ; which place is about seven miles from Lyme. John Hazard, b. in 1531, was chosen seven times mayor ot Lyme, and was its representative in three parliaments. His son Robert, b. in 1582, was also returned member from Lyme in i6i4and 1620. William Hazard, the father of Lydia Field, married Phoebe, daughter of Capt. John Hull, who com manded a ship usually trading between Newport, R. 1., and England. Sir Charles Wager was apprenticed to him when a lad, and an anecdote of these two will be found in the "New England Historical and Genealogical Register" of April, 1877. Captain Hull married, in London, Alice Tiddeman, Aug. 23, 1684. He was the son of Tristam Hull, of Barnstable, Mass., and Blanche, his wife, and born in March, 1654. Tristam's father was the Rev. Joseph Hull, who was born in 1595, matricu lated at St. Mary's Hall, Oxford, May 22, 1612, and took his B. A. degree there Nov. 14, 1614. He was instituted to the rectory of North Leigh, Devon, April 4, 1621. and resigned this living in 1632, probably from conscientious motives. He saUed from Weymouth for New England on March 20, 1635, with his wife Ag^es, 268 FIELD GENEALOGY. 884. 1. 885. 11. 886. 111. 887. iv. 888. V. 889. vi. 890. vii. 891. vm. 892. IX. 893- X. 8g4.

Moses Field Fowler, Esq., was a son of Henry and Phebe (Field) Fowler; was bom in Yorktown, Westchester county, N. Y., Oct. 2, i8ig. His paternal grandfather was Jesse Fowler, who died in 1851, at the age of ninety-one, and who had lived in Yorktown, as several generations of the Fowler family had done before him. The emigrant ancestor came from York shire, or Staffordshire. Moses Field was educated in the home schools, and at the North Salem Academy, in Westchester county. In 1834, he entered the office of his uncle, Hickson W. Field, in Burling Ship, N. Y., and there received his training for the importing and commission business, in the line of manufacturers' drugs and chemicals. He went to Boston in the autumn of 1841, and established himself in India street, afterward removing to Central Wharf, as a commission merchant, and acting as agent for Peter Cooper, Daniel F. Tiemann and other well-known man ufacturers. In 1854 be admitted his cousin, Edmund B. Fowler, to partnership, under the firm name of M. Field Fowler & Co. In 1856 another cousin joined him, Maunsell B. Field, afterward as sistant treasurer of the United States in New York, and during Mr. Lincoln's administration assistant secretary of the treasury. The firm was very enterpnsing, and did a large business, both at home and abroad. It suffered severely, however, after the disaster of 1857, which tell upon the cotton and woolen manufacturers of New England, and in 1859 suspended payment. In i860 Mr. Fowler, with his nephew, Frank Field Fowler, formed the firm of Fowler & Co. The latter removed to New York in 1866 and he continued the business alone. Mr. Fowler's activity and pub lic spirit manifested itself in various directions, but he deserves special remembrance as one of the projectors and builders of the Metropolitan horse railway. He was induced to undertake this work by a conversation with Mr. Abram S. Hewitt, who had just FIELD GENEALOGY. 269 supplied the rails for the Sixth Avenue railway. New York. A charter, based upon a draft prepared by Sidney Bartlett and the city solicitor, Peleg W. Chandler, was granted by the legislature in 1853; but so strong an opposition had developed itself in certain quarters, to the scheme of "the New York Conspirators" for the ruin of Boston after they had got her in their "iron embrace," as Rufus Choate said, that the petitioners were obliged to go to the State House in 1854, and obtain an amendment to their char ter providing for taking up the rails where required by the alder men to do so. We have not space here to follow Mr. Fowler and his associates through all the stages of this work, which after ward proved so successful, but it is enough to say that they did not reap any adequate reward for their foresight and labor, and for the risks which they assumed. Mr. Fowler was at one time a director in the Mattapan Bank, Dorchester ; he was a member of the school board of the city of Boston, and of the parish of St. Paul's Episcopal church. He was a director in the Boston Young Men's Christian Association, but he declined to be nominated to public office. His death took place in Boston, Nov. 15, 1888. Mr. Fowler was twice married — in 1845, to Mary Louisa, eldest daughter of James M. Blaney; she died in 1868; in i86g, to Ella Lizette, daughter of John and Ann (Burrows) Gilbert, who sur vived him.

His wife was Sarah Sprague. He leased various lands in South East, and after the death of his wife resided with his son, John, Jr. , in Bovina, Delaware county. Gilbert was one of three brothers, Nehemiah and Comfort ; who together, on account of their youthful looks and actions in old age, were tamiliarily called "The Three Old Boys."

His widow lived on the old place during the war of the Revolution, and must have been a brave patriotic woman, as out of her five sons four served in the war as private minutemen, viz: Jeremiah, John B., Michael — who was killed at the battle of Monmouth — and Benjamin, who was only 20 years old at the close of the war (p. 4g4, of History of Union and Middlesex counties in New Jersey, also Field Family Bible).

Oct. i, 1753, Anne Cromwell, great great grand daughter of Oliver CromweU, b, 1730; d. Aug. 19, 1797. Anne, only surviving daughter of Thomas Cromwell, of Bridgewater Square, by his first marriage, mar ried in 1753, at Edmonton, John Field an apothecary, at that time ot Newgate street, but afterward of Stoke, Newington. There is reason to think that this was a union prompted by cordiaUty of religious sentiment, the Fields being of a Puritan stock, and Mr. Field himself attached to Stoke, Newington society. Mr. Field, whose medical practice was extensive, was the founder, in 1765, of the London Annuity Society, established for the benefit ot the widows of its members. This institution, now located at 3 Serjeants' Inn, possesses half-length portraits of himself and of his son, Henry, who succeeded him professionally. His living presence we are told was a familiar and grateful object to all the dwellers in and about Stoke, Newington, who believed his good nature to be inexhaustible, the capacious coach in which he performed the daily journey into town, being appar ently at the service of the public, for while his personal friends occupied the interior, some poor neighbor was generally to be seen on the box. Mr. Field's intercourse was with their succeeding generation. His own ancestry derived from Cockernhoe, in Herts, where he was born in 1719. His death occurred in 1796, the year before that of his wife. Their children are nine in number. He d. Aug. 26, 1796. At his death he was of Stoke Newington, Middlesex. Res. London, England.

Nov. 27, 1767, Anna Dudley, dau. of David and Anna (TaUmann), of North Madison, Conn., b. AprU 13, 1752; d. Oct 17, 1819. He lived on the old homestead he inherited from his father. He was a man of great vigor and resolution, which led his fellow-townsmen to look to him as a leader in troublous times. When he was in the prime of manhood, a little over thirty years of age, the war of the Rev olution broke out, and he entered the army. In 1776 he joined the 7th regiment raised in Connecticut for the defense of the state, and served under Washington, when the great leader, rallying his forces after the disastrous defeat on Long Island, took a position of defense on the upper part of New York Island, between Fort Washington, and the East River, to watch the British troops, which then held the city and took part in the battle at White Plains. He was afterwards captain of a coast guard, organized for protection against expeditions that might attack towns along the shore of Long Island Sound, in which he once saved Guilford from a raid of Tories, who landed June 17, 1781, and had begun to burn the town, when, mus tering the farmers with their muskets, he attacked them with such spirit that he drove them to their boats, leaving their dead and wounded behind them. Captain Field lived many years after the war, and was a fine specimen ot the old Conti nentals who united the character ot the farmer with that of the soldier. The older FIELD GENEALOGY. 277 inhabitants of the town recall his striking figure. One who says, "he can see him now," describes him as "a large, broad-breasted, well built man." Even while engaged in peaceful pursuits he kept up the military style of dress of other days. "He always wore a cocked hat. short breeches, long stockings and bright silver shoe buckles, and I never saw him, either on the farm or abroad, that he was not dressed in this manner." His Revolutionary record is as follows: Sergeant Ensign Jekiel Megs' com pany, Guilford, Connecticut mUitia, Lexington alarm ; private, Captain Andrew Ward's company.

AMOS FIELD (Bennett, John, Zechariah, Zechariah, John, John, Rich ard, William, WilUam), b. Mansfield, Conn., April 20, 1750; m. there Sept. lo, 1772, Zerviah Baldwin, b. 1754, dau. of Eleazer and Elizabeth (Wright) Baldwin, b. Aug. 23, 1756; d. Feb. 20, 1843. He wash, in Mansfield, Conn., where he resided until after his marriage, when he removed, in 1775, to Dorset, Vt, and settled on a farm, two miles north of the village, still known as the Field farm. He lived and died on the place where he first settled, leaving eleven children, one hundred and twenty-one grandchildren and great grandchildren. By the marriage of the eldest daughter with Justin Kellogg, and by intermarriage with the Kent family, has sprung a numerous band of relatives in that town not inaptly represented by the — at one time — well known marble firm of Holley, Field & Kent, a trio of cousins, by whose enterprise and activity thousands of dollars worth of marble was annually quarried and prepared for market. There is a family monument in the beautifully situated old graveyard at Dorset, Vt. It has this inscription: "The Field family, some of whom are lying here, has been in Dorset for a hundred years ; for the century previous the ancestors lived in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Previous to that in England, and still further back in Alsace, France. Tney have been an honest and Godfearing race. " Then fol lows the coat of arms, and under it the motto, carefully cut, "Sans Dieu rien." Another correspondent says : Zerviah Baldwin was the daughter of Eleazer Baldwin, of Mansfield, formerly of Billerica, Mass., and in the spring of 1776, emi grated to Dorset, Vt, in company with his wife's father and young brother, Asa Baldwin. The farms of the two families joined and together stretched from side to side of the lovely Dorset Valley. The change to the new home in the wilderness was not accomplished without care and sorrow. Little Rebecca Field died very soon, unable to endure such hardship; but Elizabeth, the eldest chUd, lived on to grow an old woman in Dorset — the mother of the large HoUey family. In the fall of that first year came a messenger from Woodstock, Vt., to tell them of sickness in the famUies of Amos Field's sisters, Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Phinehas Williams. Mrs. Field left her own family and set off across the Green Mountains, a perilous horseback ride, with the messenger who had come to guide her on the wild trail, and remained for weeks in Woodstock, helping the friends in trouble there. The foUowing winter, Amos Field, who was a man full of ardour and ambitions, was actively engaged in clearing the wide plateaus, where he subsequently buUt his second dwelling house, stiU standing there. One day, while at work felling trees, he was struck on the head by a limb, as the tree came down to the ground. He lay there for hours in an unconscious state, until at last a search being made, he was found lying so close to the embers of a dying fire, that his head had been desperately burned Yet, after many months of heavy sickness be began to recover. And when the rumors of troops advancing into the region came, he could manage again to sit his horse. He started with a small company of loyalists to join the Eng lish forces at Bennington, for the Fields and the Baldwins in Dorset were stiU Tories. Buried away among the hiUs they had heard little of the agitations that FIELD GENEALOGY. 281 bad turned Conservatives into Whigs along the sea coasts and in the towns, and raised a Continental army of revolution. But the party were overhauled in the vicinity of Arlington by a party ot Whigs, warned ot their coming by Miss Ormsby, of Manchester, and Mr. Field, who was known to be hardly less than a very sick man still, was sent home under guard, but the rest of the party were lodged in Benning ton jail, and in many instances their farms were confiscated. After a few years the agitations of the war, the questions regarding State Rights, and the gradual settling of more people in Vermont, assured greater comfort and no doubt life became easier. Several daughters and three sons grew up in the new Field homestead. Another correspondent writes: "Amos came to Vermont in the spring of 1776. He drove up an ox team, with their goods, and grandmother and two children came on horseback. The children, aunt Holley (Elizabeth) was the eldest, and one younger. Rebecca, probably one year old. She died soon after. Pa thinks when she was about two years old. Bennington battle was the next year, Aug. 16, 1777. Pa thinks grandfather never built a log house, but a small frame and board house, the first season — probably a kind of shanty, covered with shingles, four feet long, instead of boards. He soon, however, built a small frame house, and soon after an addition to it, before pa's recollection, in whic'n most of their children were bom. The best part of that building, frame covering, is what we knew as 'the shop,' across the road during my childhood. When used as a dwelling it stood on the north end of the garden, near the rock. The present house, the old home and birthplace of our family, was built in the year 1800, when pa was thirteen years old. The exterior of the building remained from time of building until I was some two and a half years old, unchanged. The division of the interior the same. From time to time rooms were lathed and plastered. Since then several additions and various changes, interior and exterior, have been made, and a few years since very general repairs. Several years before grandfather Field came to Dorset he drove an ox cart for his brother-in-law, William, from Mansfield to Woodstock, Vt." He d June 17, 1831. Res. Dorset, Vt 1037. i. ELIZABETH, b.

Dr. George Holley Gilbert is professor of New Testament liter ature and interpretation and is registrar at the Chicago Theo logical Seminary. In addition to his " Student Life of Jesus" and "The Student Life of St. Paul," he has published some translations on biblical subjects and written other shorter articles. He has been a professor at the Chicago school for fourteen years, coming here in 1886. Graduated a bachelor of arts from 19 282 FIELD GENEALOGY. Dartmouth College in 1878, he entered the Union Theological Seminary in 1880, and after three years of study he was made a fellow for two years. In 1885 he received the degree of doctor of philosophy at the University of Leipsic, and the following year found him installed in the Congregational school here. In 1894 Dartmouth College conferred upon him the degree of doctor of divinity. Dr. GUbert has quite a reputation as an author, and it is said has very liberal views on religious questions. Charges of heresy were first brought against Dr. George H. , Gilbert, May, iSgg. The charges were preferred by Rev. Dr. E. S. Carr at the meeting of the 'board of visitors of the seminary. Attention was first drawn to the attitude of Dr. Gilbert on certain doctrinal points through books written and published by him in 1898. One was a student's life of Jesus and the other was a student's life of Paul. They treated of documents and theories of theologians in a free and scientific manner — entirely too free to be orthodox, some claimed. It was also said by some that he had invaded the field of the New Testament. In his books for students and in his addresses his critics say that Dr. Gilbert takes this position : That Christ was a human being ; that the story of the Old Testament as to the death of Christ is not authoritative ; that the writers of the book., were imperfect; that the religion of the Congregational church is a relig^ion of reflection, and false reflection at that; that Paul was an enthusiastic man, but imperfect, and that as to Christ's death being in itself a pardon for sin, we must look to the words of Jesus himself for proof or disproof of that. A few months after the books were published Dr. Gilbert read a paper before the Congregational ministers' meeting of Chi cago, which was thought by many to be exceedingly unortho dox. At the visitors' meeting at the seminary when Dr. Carr made the charges he proposed that an investigating committee be appointed to review the works of Dr. Gilbert. The com mittee reported unfavorably and referred the whole matter to the board of directors of the seminary. Dr. Carr presented a long minority report. In it he intimated that he would bring up the charges at a meeting of the Illinois Association of Con gregational churches, to be held at Kewanee the following week. The minority report of Dr. Carr was also sent to the board of directors. The matter was brought up by Dr. Carr at the Kewanee convention May i6th. He criticised the character ot theology taught at the Chicago Theological Seminary in an inferential way, not mentioning any names of institutions or men. He was not allowed to complete his address of denunciation, and the association adjourned without taking any actions on the resolutions he had intended to present. 1038. ii. REBECCA, b.

The larger part of the first inhabitants were branches of families belonging to the parent town. Settlements are believed to have been made as early as 1750, at the "straits" (so caUed) by Joseph Belding, Sergt. John Wait, Elisha Smith, David Graves and Joseph Scott Here they erected the first dwelling in the territory. A few years afterwards, houses were buUt on "Chestnut Plain Street" by Lieut Ebenezer Bardwell, Thomas Crafts and Deacon Joel Dickinson, which were the first buildings in the central part of the town. The permanent settlers immediately following these were Daniel Morton, Oliver Graves, Oliver Morton, Salmon White, Moses Dickinson, Nathan Graves, Peter Train and Edward Brown. Through all the period of the early settlement, the people belonged in Hatfield. On April 24, 1771, 1068. IX. 1069. X. 1070. xi. 1071. xu. FIELD GENEALOGY. 285 1073- 11. 1074. m. 1075. IV. 1076.

JOHN FIELD (EUakim, John, John, Zechariah, John, John, Richard, WiUiam, William), b. Hatfield, Mass., Aug. 25, 1760; m. in i78g, Lucy Look, of Conway, b. 1768 in Edgartown, Mass.; d. July 2g, 1854. He moved from Hatfield to Conway. The territory of Conway originally belonged to Deerfaeld, and had no settlers previous to 1763. During that year Cyrus Rice became the first settler, and his daughter Beulah, born the next year, was the first child bom in the town. Other early settlers were Israel Gates, Ebenezer AUis, Consider Arms, Elias Dickinson, Jonathan Whitney, Thomas French, Israel Wilder, Elisha Amsden, Solomon Field and John Boyden, whose son John, was the first male child bom in Conway. Deerfield, Grafton, Barre, Leicester and Rutland fumished the first settlers. On June 16, 1767, "Southwest," as it was known, was incorporated as a town with the name of Conway. The first town meeting was held at the house of Thomas Prench, Aug. 24 of the same year, when Thomas French, Consider Arms and Samuel Wells were chosen selectmen, and Consider Arms, clerk. At a meeting held at Joseph Catlin's, three weeks later, measures were taken to procure preach ing, and "to purchase law books." A committee was also appointed to find the center of the town, with reference to building a meeting house. The committee made a report at a subsequent meeting, which was "excepted," but it was not until after much contention, and the passage of nearly two years, that the site was fixed upon — about eighty rods south of the present Congfregational church. Dec. 28, 1767, the first appropriation was made for a public school, to be kept five months by "a dame," which dame, Ebenezer AUis, Nathaniel Field and Benjamin Pulsifer were instructed to provide. There was no schoolhouse until 1773, when one was built a few rods northeast of the meeting house. The annual appropriation of money for schools, for the first six or eight years, was about ten pounds. In 1774, thirty pounds were voted, but the next year no appropriation was made, doubtless in consequence of war. This is the only instance, however, of failure to provide annually for schooling. The amount has been increased, from year to year, until, in 1854, the appropriation amounted to $1,200 for public schools, with an additional provision of scholarships in the academy, bestowed upon the most deserving pupil selected from the common schools. The town is divided into fifteen school districts. A select school has been maintained in the town for many years, and was taught through twenty-nine terms, by John Clary. In 1853, a handsome building was erected by subscription, and is now occupied by a large and flourishing school. The first meeting house, to which reference has already been made, was erected during the summer of i76g, but remained for a long time unfinished, except with a pulpit and a pew for the family of the minister. The intemal arrangements of the house were not completed within twenty years. As the house was not warmed, a lodge was constructed within a short distance, at which a prodigious fire was kept on Sundays that was resorted to in the moming and at noon. Previous to the erection of the building, the town meetings were usually held at the houses of FIELD GENEALOGY. 287 lOgi. 1. log 2. 11. IC93. iii. 1094. IV. 1095. V.

Thirty acres were laid to the common; 100 acres were reserved in the center for the "minister's lot"; with these arrangements were drawn i4g lots.

He graduated at Yale College in 1762, when he commenced the study of divinity with the Rev. Jonathan Ashley, of Deerfield. That not being to his taste, he subsequently entered the office of Daniel Jones, Esq., of Hinsdale, N. H., as a student at law. After being admitted to the bar he returned to Deerfield and was for some time engaged in mercantile business. In 1 771 he removed to Greenfield aS opened a law office and engaged also in trade. In 1774 he removed to Conway ana passed two years upon a farm (the house in which he resided was in 1880 still standing), when he returned to Deerfield, where he resided until May, 1794, when he retumed to Conway and continued to pursue his profession. In November, 1798, he received a stroke of palsy which deprived him of speech and much impaired his constitution. He had four fits of epilepsy within the year previous to his death, in the last of which he expired, Sept. 17, 1800, aged 57, being until three hours before in as good health and possession of his faculties as at any period of the two preceding years. In his person he exceeded the ordinary height of man, thick set, without inclining to corpulency. His face exhibited a relaxed appearance, and his natural countenance an unusual gravity and sternness, but when enlivened by conversation a complacency and thorough good nature that was highly pleasing, and could scarcely fail of persuading a stranger of the exceUence of his heart. He was care less in pecuniary matters as well as in dress, but in domestic life was much beloved by all. The hearts of parents were grateful for a son so worthy, brethren and sisters participated in the happiness which his distinguished virtues inspired ; the children of his love found in him a faithful instructor and friend ; and the wife of his youth every joy and the balm of every sorrow. His naturally pacific disposition led him to regret the late war with its multiplied evils resulting to all parts of social and political society. He did not take an active part in the Revolution. No man rejoiced more sincerely in the establishment of the independence of his country, nor had the republican institutions which were the result of that glorious struggle any more heartfelt friend. His republicanism did not rest in name only, it pervaded his whole character; it appeared in plainness and affability of manners, contempt of show and parade, and at the frivolous distinctions of society which fascinate so many little minds that are either slavish or despotic ; in his love of courtesy and abhor rence of all ecclesiastical establishments or the slightest infringements of the right of conscience of any and all persons or creed whatsoever. He represented the town of Deerfield in the general court several years, and was a member of the convention that adopted the Constitution of the United States, besides holding various other offices. In religious matters he was a firm believer in the doctrines of Swedenborg and Sandeman and was known as a Sandemanian upon which he lectured and wrote quite a treatise upon them which is embodied in his work. He was also quite a political, prose and poetical writer. Part of his writings were collected and pub lished in 1 818 by the late Rev. Rodolphus Dickinson, of Deerfield. His religion was not an idle fancy that dwelt upon the exterior of the mind ; it was an enlivening and active faith in that Gospel which has brought life and immortality to light; a repentance that worked by love and purified the heart ; a holiness of life without which no man can see the Lord, and a charity without which he was assured he was nothing. He coveted no man's gold, or silver, or apparel. He possessed a mind FIELD GENEALOGY. 291 always contented with his present condition, and he could tread with equal tenor the adverse or prosperous path. He was just and upright in all his dealings; quiet and peaceable, full of compassion ; and ready to do good to all men according to his abilities and opportunities. His faults were such as might exist in the best of men; in those faults there was no mixture of avarice, deceit, hypocrisy, intrigue, ferocity, despotism or want of feeling for the distresses of mankind. He deserves the honors of a virtuous and well spent life, and they will surely be paid to his memory when the false distinctions of society shall be swept into oblivion. The rough and rugged paths of life through which he traveled contributed to prepare him for that higher existence, where no trouble shall pass across his peaceful breast. He m.

Heaven indulge me to request What will make a mortal blest, Give me first an honest soul, Subject to no base control. To no sordid vice a slave, But to deeds of virtue brave. So mucli learning as to rise 'Bove a pedant vainly wise. So much wisdom as to see What I am, and ought to be; And discern the good from ill, That my circle I may fill; So much courage as to choose What is right— the wrong refuse; So much honor to disdain Thoughts and actions that are mean ; Health, my powers to employ And my portion well enjoy. Grant me next a virtuous wife, Sweet companion of my life. In my joys to take a share, Partner too in every care. But from pride and meanness free. Cheerful to my friend and me. Pure in manner, and discreet. In her dress and person neat, One, who innocently gay, Can my vapors charm alway; Ever studious how to please, Not perversely apt to tease; In her temper calm and meek, Who can hear as well as speak. To my humor always kind. To my foibles seeming blind. Yet with faithful hints of love, Wise my follies to reprove. In my pains to give relief And the flatter off my grief. Babes that prattle round and smile Shall the heavy hours beguile Blooming like the vernal fiowers, Ripening into manly powers Into virtue ripening too. As to manly age they grow. Let me ask a handsome plat, Not too small nor very great, 292 FIELD GENEALOGY. Watered with meand'ring stream, Blest with Phebus' rising beams. Let there be a shady grove Where the muse and I may rove. Here devotion too shall come, For the muse will give her room. I would have a verdant mead, Where a cow or two may feed; And a little rising ground, Where my flocks may sport around. An enclosure for my trees. Where variety will please; And a garden set with flowers, To amuse my vacant hours. Pilled with various kinds of fruit. That my health or taste may suit. A well cultivated field Which a competence shall yield, Not to fill a miser's hoard, But to feed my httle board, Entertain a friend or so. Something on the poor bestow. Give me too a pretty seat, Not superb, but simply neat. Where to lead a harmless life, Free from envy and from strife, Till I close this mortal scene And a better life begin. Grant me but these, no other prize I ask or wish below the skies. He d. Sept. 17, 1800; res. Deerfield, Greenfield and Conway, Mass. ROBERT RUFUS, b. Aug. 22, 1771; m. Patty Hoyt SAMUEL EDWARDS, b.

He was born on his father's farm, which was later known as the Bert farm. His mother was a woman of unusual executive ability, and well educated. He was well educated at the common schools, especially in the English branches. Assisting his father on his farm, he attended the academy as opportunity presented. He taught a govem ment school in Stanstead, Canada, and later taught in Derby, Vt., in the school where he received his preliminary education. In 1833 he was appointed by Sheriff Jameson a deputy for Derby and vicinity. At that time the office was quite an important one, as the country was infested by smugglers from the Canadian side. He resigned the office after having been appointed three times, and became connected with the Fairbank' s Scale company, at St Johnsbury. In 1837 he arrived in Chicago, when there was a population of 3,000 persons. Everything was in a terrible LUCIUS G. FISHER. See page 299. LUCIUS G. FISHER, JR. See page 300.

From the comer of State and Washington streets — where Marshall Field & Co.'s mammoth dry goods buildings stand — to the Lake, com was growing of the small yellow kind. Mr. Fisher, not liking the looks of the place, went to Milwaukee, and later to New Albany. He made a short stop at JanesvUle, where there were only three houses. He was much pleased with the appearance of Beloit (then called New Albany). Soon after arriving there and purchasing land, a meeting of the settlers was called to select and adopt a name for the town and village. He was chosen one of a committee to select a name, and it was at his suggestion that Beloit was selected. In i83g he was appointed sheriff of Rock county by Gov. Henry Dodge, and later by Governor Doty, and still later elected by the people. In 1840 he was appointed by the territorial legislature one of a board of commissioners to lay out roads from Beloit to Milwaukee and to Madison. In 1842 he was married to Miss Field and began busi ness, which was continued under the firm name of Fisher & Bundy, and later Fisher, Cheney & Co. He was largely instru mental in inducing the Northwestern railway company to extend their line to Beloit, raising the money, $80,000, and personally pledging its collection. He was director of the railway from Beloit to Madison. He was president of the first bank in Beloit, and also started the Beloit Journal, the first paper there. Mr. Fisher was identified with every enterprise that was for the benefit of the place. With others he built the first paper mill there, and was largely identified with other institutions. After Beloit was a city he was for several years an alderman, and was elected to the legislature. He was largely instrumental in organ izing Beloit College ; was for years a trustee and also of Rock ford Seminary. In 1861 he was appointed postmaster at Beloit, which office he held for five years. In 1866 he moved to Chi cago and leased the southeast corner of State and Washington streets in 1870 and erected a six story building, which was destroyed by the fire of 1871. He immediately rebuilt, and in 1875 purchased the corner for $140,000, which he sold in 1881 for $412,500. In 1870 he was elected supervisor of Hyde Park. In 1883 he took an extensive trip on the continent with his wife, and from that time until his death in 1886, spent most of his time in travel and looking after his property interests. Ch. : I.

He was educated in Beloit and Stockbridge, Mass., and had passed examination preparatory to entering the Freshman class in Beloit College, when the Pikes Peak gold fever broke out. His father sent one of the first quartz mills to the mountains, and he persuaded him to let him accompany the train. He was given a wagon and six yoke of oxen, and so crossed the plains and roughed it until the war commenced.

Y. ; went through a short campaign in the Shenandoah Valley ; was made color-sergeant and retumed in time to assist in quelling the riot in New York City. Their time having expired (it was a ninety-day regiment), was dis charged, and he at once enlisted in the navy, and was sent to the receiving station, at St Inigoes, Md., where he was assigned to duty in the paymaster's department. At the close of the war he went to Chicago and started with the Rock River Paper com pany; was rapidly promoted, and in 1870 was given the man agement of the business. In 1871 he bought an interest in the paper bag manufacturing firm of Wheeler & Hinman, which name was changed to Wheeler, Fisher & Co., and soon after was incorporated under the name of the Union Bag and Paper Co. Of this company he was secretary, but had the entire management. In i8g4 they increased the capital stock from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and absorbed the bag business of Hol Ungsworth & Whitney, of Boston, Smith & Dixon & Co. , of Baltimore, and Chatfield & Woods, of Cincinnati. As president of this company he had the general management of its business until March, i8gg, it sold its interests to the Union Bag and Paper Co., of New Jersey, a company which Mr. Fisher organized, and of which he is president. This company purchased all the busi ness and good will and patents of the leading bag manufacturers of the country. Its capital is $27,000,000. It owns large tracts of timber lands, eighteen paper mills, several wood pulp mills and makes about 20,000,000 bags a day. He has started and successfully run several manufacturing companies in different lines, but as his bag business grew, he sold his interests in the other companies. In 1 886 he bought a large amount of real estate in Chicago. It has taken much ot his time to improve and manage it. Four years ago he built the "Fisher Building," an eighteen story office building, on the corner of Van Buren and Dearborn streets, Chicago. He is a member of the Union League, Wash ington Park and Athletic and Midlothian Clubs, of Chicago, and of the Engineers and New York Clubs, of New York City. Ch. . (a) Lucius George, Jr., b.

In i7gg he received a commission in the navy as surgeon's mate, and embarked for a three years' cruise in the East Indies. The voyage proved a dis astrous one. The ship was dismasted, there was mutiny on board, and the young physician in assisting to subdue the mutineers, was wounded in the right wrist. The voyage lasted hardly a year, but its experience destroyed the charm of a sea going life for Dr. Field. In 1800 he established himself as a village doctor in Waterbury, and labored there the remaining forty years of his life. Doctor Field was received as a member of the First Church, July 5, 1840. Res.

He was in business with his father, as a merchant, while in Watertown, and on his removal to Waterbury formed a partnership with Ezra Stiles in the dry goods business, which was conducted in the building on the cor ner of Centre square and Leavenworth street. His connection with Julius Hotchkiss in the Hotchkiss & Merriman Manufac turing company, and the relations of this organization to the American Suspender company, of which he became president, are well known. Mr. Merriman was a member of the common council for several years, and was mayor of the city in i86g. He was president of the Waterbury Gas Light company, and was for many years a director in the Citizens' National bank, and president of the Waterbury Savings bank.

But one voyage was sufficient; he did not find it to his taste. After his father's death he attended medical lectures in New York City, but took his degree at Castleton, Vt, whose medical school at that time was mainly conducted by professors of New York schools (a sort of summer school. of medicine). He settled in New York City, but early in the California excitement — in i84g or 1850 — he went to San Francisco, and after practicing medicine a short time engaged in other pursuits. He returned to New York about 1855, and a little later purchased a seat in the broker's board. He remained in active business until 1872, when he retired and spent some time in Europe.

"Father Field," as he was familiarly called, was fully sustained in his charge by an ecclesiastical council, afterwards called, by whom the pastor was dismissed.

Wingate's regiment and marched to Ticonderoga, where 1 served out my time under General Gates' Command and received an honorable discharge. The redcoats came down the lake and Captain Humphrey called for volunteers to engage them and I turned out with others, but we did not get near enough to fight them. I returned home to Winchester after receiving my discharge, where 1 afterwards was several times impressed and compelled to serve on alarms, to take the Tories up to Keene where they were tried, and from there we conveyed the Charlestown or No. 4. The precise time I served in each of the alarms 1 cannot tell, but it is my prevailing opinion I served as much as four months in all besides my five months enlistment. I made my former declaration before R. Pier pont, Judge of Probate for the District of Rutland, but 1 cannot now tell how long ago but 1 believe something like three years ago.

LIEUTENANT MOSES DICKINSON FIELD (Moses, Ebenezer, Samuel, Zechariah, John, John, Richard, William, William), b. Northfield, Feb. 10, 1742. He settled in Surry, N. H., where hed. Sept. 8, 1828, aged 85 years, 6 months, 1 5 days. He was a celebrated hunter and marksman. At the age of eleven he went across the Connecticut river with his father to plough a piece of ground he had there, taking his gun with him for the purpose of hunting partridges in the month of March. In crossing a swale where a skunk cabbage grew, he noticed some of it had been eaten offi. Knowing that no animal would eat it but the bear, he concluded one was in the vicinity ; putting a small dog that was with him on the track, he fol lowed it to a hemlock tree that had fallen down. Looking in among the brush, he saw a black object and putting a couple of bullets into his gun, fired, when a bear sprang out wounded and made off followed by the dog. Loading.his gun again, he foUowed, overtaking the bear who was retained by the dog; getting sufficiently near, he aimed at a vital part and fired, kiUing him. He then went for his father who was ploughing near by to assist him in carrying the bear home. His father, rather incredulous about bears being about, did not readily go with him, but upon his persistence that he had really killed one, went with him and took the bear home, complaining that it had lost him a day's work ploughing. He was a lieuten ant in Captain Mack's company of New Hampshire militia at the battle of Benning ton. The day before the battle, Aug. 15th, was a rainy day; as he and Captain Mack (of Gilsum) were on a reconnaissance, they came to a puddle of water in the road when they parted to the right and left to avoid it; just before they closed again, a bullet struck in the water in the middle of the road. As they were passing on, Lieutenant Field discovered an Indian crawling along on the ground in the woods not far from them. Apprising Captain Mack, they watched until they saw him raise his head, when both fired and the Indian felL The day after the battle Lieutenant Field found where the Indian was buried, near the place where he was kiUed. He opened the grave, hoping to find his musket or some article, but noth ing had been buried with him. It was ascertained that he was a sachem, and was shot through the breast. When marching on to the ground the next day, he observed several British officers looking through th^ir glasses, scanning the American troops ; he left his company, fiUing his mouth with bullets and getting a position where he was somewhat protected by an oak tree ; he fired several shots in quick succession untU his gun got hot which caused them to move away, when he hastened on and regained his company. On examination atter the battle the ground was found to be very bloody. It was said that General Baum was one of the party and probably received his fatal wound at that time. WhUe the British were retreating. Lieuten ant Field foUowed their track, seeing a soldier stoop to pick up something he had dropped, fired at him, when he pitched forward and feU to the ground. Of this particular act he always spoke with regret His grandson, Mr. Jonathan R. Field, living in Surry, says: "My grandfather never related the incidents of that battie without shedding tears." He found upon the ground after the battle a small tmnk containing several fine HoUand shirts, also a silver ornament about the weight of a doUar, representing the Savior on the cross, about three inches in length. The ornament, together with his grandfather's powder horn marked with his initials, were stolen from Mr. Jonathan R. Field a few years since. He m.

No children. Paul Selby, editor, was b. in Pickaway county, Ohio, July 20, 1825; removed with his parents, in 1837, to Van Buren county, Iowa, but, at the age of 19, went to southern Illinois, where he spent four years teaching, chiefly in Madison county. In 1848 he entered the preparatory department of Illinois College at Jacksonville, but lett the institution during his junior year to assume the editorship of the Morgan Journal, at Jacksonville, with which he remained until the fall of 1858, cov ering the period of the organization of the Republican party, in which the Journal took an active part. He was a member of the Anti-Nebraska (afterwards known as Republican) State Conven tion, which met at Springfield, in October, 1854 (the first ever held in the State), and, on Feb. 22, 1856, attended and presided over a conference of Anti-Nebraska editors of the State at Deca tur, called to devise a line of policy for the newly organizing Republican party. This body • appointed the first Republican State Central Committee and designated the date ot the Bloom ington Convention of May 29, following, which put in nomination the first Republican State ticket ever named in Illinois, which ticket was elected in the following November. In 1859 be pre pared a pamphlet giving a history of the celebrated canal scrip fraud, which was widely circulated. Going south in the fall ot 1859, he was engaged in teaching in the State of Louisiana untU the last of June, 1861. Just two weeks before the fall of Fort Sumter he was denounced to his Southern neighbors as an "abo litionist" and falsely charged with having been connected with the "underground railroad," in letters from secession sympathiz ers in the North, whose personal and political enmity he had incurred while conducting a Republican paper in Illinois, some of whom referred to Jefferson Davis, Senator Slidell of Louisiana, and other Southern leaders as vouchers for their characters. Ho at once invited an investigation by the Board of Tmstees of the institution of which he was the principal, when that body — al though composed, for the most part, of Southern men— on the basis of testimonials from prominent citizens of Jacksonville and other evidence, adopted resolutions declaring the charges prompt ed by personal hostility, and delivered the letters of his accusers into his hands. Returning North with his family in July, 1861, he spent some nine months in the commissary and transportation branches ot the service at Cairo, and at Paducah, Ky. In July, 1862, he became associate editor ot the lUinois State Journal at FIELD GENEALOGY. 327 Springfield, remaining until November, 1865. The next six months were spent as assistant deputy collector in the custom house at New Orleans, but, returning North in June, 1866, he soon after became identified with the Chicago press, serving, first upon the staff of the Chicago Evening Journal, and, later, on the Republican. In May, 1868, he assumed the editorship of the Quincy Whig, ultimately becoming part proprietor ot that paper, but, in January, 1874, resumed his old place on the State Journal, four years later becoming one of its proprietors. In 1880 he was appointed by President Hayes postmaster of Springfield, was reappointed by Arthur in 1884, but resigned in 1886. Meanwhile he had sold his interest in the Journal, but the following year organized a new company for its purchase, when he resumed his former position as editor. In 1889 he disposed of his holding in the Journal, finally removing to Chicago, where he has been employed in literary work. In all he has been engaged in edito rial work over thirty-five years, of which eighteen were spent upon the State Journal. His last and most important literary work has been as editor and, in considerable part, author of the "Historical Encyclopaedia of Illinois," issued by the Munsell Publishing Company early in igoo. In i860, Mr. Selby was com plimented by his alma mater with the honorary degree of A.M. He has been twice married, first to Miss Erra Post, of Springfield, who died in November, 1865, leaving two daughters, and, in 1870, to Mrs. Mary J. Hitchcock, of Quincy, by whom he had two children, both of whom died in infancy. 2. Electa Field. 3. Charlotte, b. Nov. 4, 1811, Mrs. Robert TiU- son, deceased, Quincy; she d.

A Philadelphia paper has this: "In other fields than medicine, Dr. Brinton left the imprint of his person ality. He was editor of the Medical and Surgical Reporter, and of the Compendium of Medical Science. He was also a contribu tor to a valuable work on therapeutics. He was an expert in native Americana and was well known as a writer and authority on the aboriginal races of this country. In 1886 he was awarded a medal for his researches in American ethnology by the Soci6t6 Americaine de France. Dr. Brinton was professor of ethnology and archseology in the Academy of Natural Sciences of this city, and of American archaeology and linguistics in the University of Pennsylvania. He was president of the Numismatic and An tiquarian Society of Philadelphia, and vice-president in 1886 of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, pre- 328 FIELD GENEALOGY. siding over the section on anthropology. Dr. Brinton established a library of original American literature. Each work is the pro duction of native minds, and is printed in the original. The series, most of which were edited by Dr. Brinton, include 'The Maya Chronicles,' 'The Iroquois Book of Rites,' 'A Migration Legend of the Creek Indians,' 'The Lenape and Their Legends,' and the "Annals of the Cakchiquels.' He contributed valuable reports on his examination of mounds, shell heaps, rock inscrip tions and other antiquities. He was the author of 'The Floridan Peninsula,' 'The Myths of the New World,' 'The Religious Senti ment,' 'American Hero Myths,' 'Aboriginal American Authors and their Productions,' and a 'Grammar of the Cakchiquel Lan guage of Guatamala.' Not long ago Dr. Brinton presented to the University of Pennsylvania his entire collection of books and manuscripts relating to the aboriginal languages of North and South America. It embraces about 2,000 titles, in addition to nearly 200 volumes of bound and indexed pamphlets, bearing on the ethnology of the American Indians. Many of the manu scripts are originals, and several are the only copies in existence. A number of the printed volumes are rare or unique. It will be designated and marked as 'The Brinton Collection.'

John and Sarah (Hoyt) Burke, of Bernardston, Mass. A story of this marriage as told is too good to be lost. Mrs. Burke, when she found Lydia was receiving the addresses of Mr. Field, was greatly displeased, thinking Lydia ought to look higher. The major being away in the war of the Revolution, Mrs. Burke could not prevent the young folks meeting. On the maijor's retum from the army for a short vacation, his neighbors met and escorted him home to have an evening's enjoyment, and stayed later at the social board than his wife desired. Being impatient to inform the major of the attentions between Lydia and Mr. Field, she informed him privately of their intimacy, and wished he would put a stop to it The major bringing his hand down upon the table, making the glasses rattle, said, "Do you remember one Sarah Hoyt that came down a ladder and ran away with one John Burke and got married?" From this she was satisfied there would be no opposition from him to the marriage. Res. Bernardston, Mass. LETITIA, b. ; d. May 20, 1864. AARON, b. 1780; m. Lovina Scott EUNICE, b. 1782; m. John R.

He was the third of a family of nine children. When a young man he learned the mason's trade. Soon after his marriage, Sept. 6, 1843, to Persis Maria Field, of Deerfield, Mass., he established himself in North Sunderland, then a thriving village, and worked at his trade there and in the surrounding towns. In 1852 his health made it necessary for him to give up the work of a mason, and he removed to Springfield, Mass., where he engaged in other business. He continued to reside in Springfield unlil his death, from heart failure, June 3, 1873. His widow and three children survived him, another child having died young. Caleb Hubbard Bowman was a man of sterling worth, beloved and respected by all who knew him. 1471. vii. TRYPHENA MONTAGUE, b. Dec. 4, 1820; m. AprU 18, 1844, Edwin M. Eaton, of Sunderland. She d.

GENERAL MARTIN FIELD (Seth, Jonathan, Joseph, Zechariah, John, John, Richard, WUliam, William), b. Leverett, Mass., Jan. 12, 1773; m. Feb. 21, 1802. Esther Smith Kellogg, b. Feb. 25, 1780, Amherst, Mass. ; d. June 6, 1867. Gen. Martin Field was born in Leverett, Mass. ; graduated at Williams College in 1798, and received the honorary degree of A.M. from Dartmouth College in 1805. He studied law with his uncle, Lucius Hubbard, Esq., of Chester, Vt, and upon the decease of Calvin Knowlton, in 1800, and at the special instance and request of Hon. Luke Knowlton, he went to Newfane in January, 1800, and entered upon the practice of the law. He married Esther Smith Kellogg, daughter of Daniel Kel logg, of Amherst, Mass., Feb. 21, 1802, an accomplished lady of fine personal appearance, of great goodness and exemplary piety. He was indebted in a great measure for his success in life to her great industry, prudence and discretion. She died June 6, 1867, aged 88 years, surviving her husband thirty-four years. He was full of anecdotes, and could tell a story with inimitable grace. His forensic efforts abounded with flashes of wit and occasional bursts of caustic sarcasm and biting ridicule, which he could use with great skill and effect. These peculiar powers ren dered him a popular and distinguished jury advocate. His varied accomplishments and genial temper, with a heart overflowing with an irrepressible spirit ot humor and mirthtulness, joined to a strong passion for music, of which he was extrava gantly fond, rendered him an ornament to the social circle. A skilful player upon the violin, he never abandoned its use until he became so deaf that he could not dis tinctly hear its tones. He was eminently successful in his profession, and for nearly thirty years enjoyed a large and lucrative practice, which he was compeUed to abandon by reason ot his excessive deafness. On relinquishing his practice he commenced the study of geology and mineralogy, and by great perseverance and industry, he coUected what, at that time, was regarded as the rarest and most ex tensive cabinet of minerals in the State. A few years since it was generously given to Middlebury College by his widow, Mrs. E. S. Field. He was, for ten years. State's attorney for Windham county, and repeatedly represented the town of Newfane in the General Assembly and Constitutional conventions. In i8ig he was elected major-general of the first division of the Vermont militia. We have copied from the twenty-sixth volume of the American Journal of Arts and Sciences, the following extract from an obituary notice of the subject of this sketch, written by a distinguished lady of Baltimore, Md., who was formerly a resident of that county. ' ' On account of his incurable deafness several years before his death, he declined the active duties of his profession, and, as a resource to an energetic mind, and as a solace in hours that might have been tedious for want of some interesting object of pursuit, he turned his attention to scientific investigation. When he was educated the natural sciences were scarcely studied in the schools and colleges of this country. He began with the elements, commencing with mineralogy, and for a time was zealously engaged in collecting a beautiful cabinet, but he found that in order to become a skilful mineralogist there was a kindred science to be grasped, and one without which he could not penetrate beyond the surface. He saw that it was beautiful and curious, and felt a desire to know those mysterious laws of com bination by which, from a few elements, the wonderful variety of material things is produced. This desire led him to the study of chemistry. He purchased books and an apparatus, and for a time he directed his inquiries to the elements of matter and the laws by which they are governed. He was not satisfied with studying nature in his cabinet, and with reading the observations of others. He became an outdoor worker in science. Few points of interest were there among the romantic scenery around him that were not familiar to him : and many a precipice, glen and lofty summit of the Green Mountains can bear witness to his persevering research into GEN. MARTIN FIELD. See page 338. '^• .4 ,"• &? - .MRS. ESTHER G. FIELD. See page 339. FIELD GENEALOGY. 339 the nature and arrangement of the rocky strata of which they are formed. His minute observations of philosophical and scientific facts were in various ways man ifested in the pages of the scientific journals of this country, and particularly in the American Journal of Science, a work in which he ever delighted, and to which he felt himself indebted for much of that love of science and those acquirements which enabled him to endure with cheerfulness a misfortune by which he was, m a meas ure, cut off from the social enjoyments of life. It is a grave thing for a man who has been active in business to withdraw from those scenes in which his mind was stimulated to constant effort, to see the place he has filled occupied by others, and to feel that the world can move on without him ; but this condition is incident to human nature. Fortunate are those who, at such a period, even, like him who is the subject of this sketch, find, in the contemplation of the works and operations of nature, a resource against ennuie, and a security against bitter and unavailing regrets. He died at his residence in Fayetteville. Esther S. Field, wife of Martin Field, whose maiden name was Esther S. Kel logg, was a granddaughter of Daniel Kellogg, Sr., of Amherst, Mass., who married Esther Smith, daughterof John Smith, of Hadley, Mass., a lineal descendant of that grim old Puritan, Lieut. Samuel Smith, who came from Ipswich, England, lo Boston in 1634, and removed from thence in 1638, with a large company, and settled on the banks of the Connecticut in the vicinity of Hartford, the "new Hesperia of Puritanism." In i65g, with sixty "Withdrawers or Separatists," as they were then called, who were opposed to the Uberal and latltudinarian doctrines and practices of Drs. Hooker and Stone in relation to "baptism, church membership, and the rights of the brotherhood," he removed to Hadley, Mass., whose rich and fertile meadows were regarded as a paradise by the early Puritan settlers of the valley of the Con necticut. While residing in Hadley he occupied important positions both in church and State. This stern old Puritan possessed great energy, an indomitable will and was by profession and practice a strict Congregationalist, persistently adhering to all the formulas, austerities, and self-denying ordinances of the Calvinistic faith. He impressed upon his descendants to the latest generation his peculiar and marked characteristics. The subject of this sketch was thoroughly trained in her childhood in the discipline and religious faith of her Puritan ancestors. She early made a profession of her faith, and at the age of fifteen she was admitted a member of the First Congregational church in Amherst Mass. Thrift, industry and economy were among the peculiar and prominent characteristics of her ancestors, and for their constant exercise she was proverbial. Possessing a vigorous constitution, she was untiring in her labors and faithful in the discharge of her domestic duties. Distin- g^uished for her prudence and discretion, she carefully avoided all allusions or sug gestions which would tend to excite suspicion or grieve an erring or wayward neigh bor. Her strong sense and excellent judgment gave her great prominence and infiuence in the church of which she was a member, and the social circle in which she moved. She was a keen and close observer of the human face, and an accurate judge of human character, and when she fixed her dark penetrating eyes upon the face of a stranger she rarely failed to stamp his character at once, and that, too, with marked precision. She exercised the most perfect self-control, was familiar, yet dignified, in her bearing, positive in her opinions, grave and serious in her de portment, yet was never regarded as imperious or arrogant. Her husband enjoyed an extensive professional practice and possessed a large landed estate, a great por tion of which he cultivated. Her superior executive ability, united with great energy, enabled her, during his absence, successfully to control and direct the labors upon the homestead, and at the same time to fully discharge the onerous duties incident to the care of a numerous household. Her husband was genial and 340 FIELD GENEALOGY. social, full of humor and mirth, oftentimes filling the house with his "jocund laugh. ' ' The wife, however, true to her refined womanly instincts, her sense of propriety, rarely disturbed by his merry and harmless jests, with great discretion pursued the even tenor of her way. Patiently and with unfaltering devotion to the higher and nobler purposes of life she always maintained her self-possession, studiously avoided all levity and frivolity, rarely relaxed the gravity of her deport ment, and never failed in the end of controlling both husband and household. She always remembered, with a kind and grateful spirit, the favors conferred upon her by her friends and generously repaid them. She was withal so affable, gentle and benevolent that she won the admiration and good-will of all with whom she was associated. She was a faithful and affectionate wife and mother, who exemplified, in her pure and spotless life, the influence of the severe discipline and stern relig ious teachings of her Puritan ancestors. It affords her children great pleasure to be able to offer this slight tribute of filial affection and respect to the memory of a kind and loving mother. — Field pamphlet. He d. Oct 3, 1833; res.

Field, died at her home in Amherst, Mass., in April, igoo. When the brothers were between eight and ten years old their mother died, and Miss French came on from the East to St Louis to care for the sister, Frances, and remained with the family until the boys were old enough to enter college. It was to her that Eugene Field dedicated his first volume, "A Little Book of Western Verse," paying her a tender tribute in these stanzas : A dying mother gave to you Her child a.many years ago; How in your gracious love he grew, You know, dear, patient heart, you know. The mother's child you fostered then Salutes you now and bids you take These little children of his pen And love them for the author's sake.

Tardy the offering is and weak— Yet were I happy if I knew These children had the power to speak My love and gratitude to you. It was for her that the late Eugene Field named his first child, Mary French Field, better known as "Trotty." In an article Mr. Field once wrote for one of the magazines he said the woman who had the most influence on his life and the molding of his character was his grandmother, but later he declared he was sorry he had said that, for after mature thought he was certain the woman was Mary Field French.

Sept. 23, 1808. The presence of the French allies in Providence inspired the life of the town, and the liberality with which they circulated their silver and gold rendered them welcome customers at a period when a Spanish milled dollar bore a fabulous value in paper currency. The exact discipline of the soldiery and rigid restrictions under which they were permitted to pass out ot camp and mingle with the citizens, were strong safeguards against the indulgence of excesses, and left little cause for com plaint on that score. The officers were on terms of pleasant intimacy with the lead ing families, and their presence imparted an additional charm to social gayety. Balls, parties, and other entertainments were frequent, and the repetition of reciprocal courtesies served to strengthen mutual respect and friendship. The old Field homestead, at Field's Point, was much frequented by the French officers, where they were always sure of a hearty hospitality, and where they participated in social assemblies with the characteristic zest ot mercurial temperaments. The impressions made upon the community were of the most agreeable character, and during the subsequent years of those at whose homes the officers were received as guests, the memories of those days were cherished as among the pleasantest of their recollections. The patriotism of the Field family was of the purest type. In 1780, WiUiam Field was appointed captain of a company in the second regiment of Providence county militia. Abner and Nehemiah Field were distinguished for personal bravery. When the news reached them of the battle of Bunker Hill, and the burn ing of Charlestown, like Putnam, they instantly left the field, and with rifie in hand joined the volunteers crowding on to the scene of action. They were placed in the body of reserves. During the war Abner was taken prisoner, and thrust into the notorious Jersey prison ship, where he soon became covered with vermin. Both Abner and Nehemiah held commissions. Capt. WiUiam Field, with a noble heart, was "plain of speech." One day. Major De Prez, an officer of the Royal Deux- Ponts, engaged in fortifying the Point, called upon him, and whUe the captain was occupied outside the house in his morning ablution, the following colloquy ensued. Said the major, in a respectful tone: "Are you Esquire Field, the gentleman who owns the land adjoining this beach?" "Iam," was the laconic reply. "Ihave made bold," continued the major, "to land my guns below, and hope no offence is FIELD GENEALOGY. 365 given." "None at all," was the sententious answer. "We are about to become friends, and hope we shall be friends," continued the major. "Amen," responded the sturdy "lord of the manor," and applied himself vigorously to the cleansing process. The major having thus taken gauge of his host, silently raised his cha peau, and proceeded to Providence. The Field family at the Point was numerous. The last survivor of the William Field family was Eleanor, a woman of uncommon natural endowments. She sold the Point estate to the city of Providence, and removed to Elmwood, and died March 8, 1864, aged ninety-one years. The family burial ground was near the homestead house, but after the estate became the. prop erty of the city, the bodies there buried were removed to the North burial ground. B. 13, 314.

Daniel Field came to Spring field from Rhode Island before 1780. He settled on what is now know as the Field place, at the mouth of Field brook, and the family were living there at the time the Indians burned Royalton, October, 1780. He was a soldier of the Revolution, in Colonel Hitchcock's regiment of Rhode Island infantry, which served under Wash ington, participating in the battles of White Plains, Trenton and Princeton. He was also a musician or drummer in Capt. James Snow's company, in Col. John Mathewson's regiment, in the expedition to Rhode Island, in August, 1778. They came 200 miles to Springfield, through the forest, with an ox cart, and he used to relate how he paid $100 in Continental bills for having the tire set, so much had the value of the money depreciated. He bought about 200 acres of land and built a log cabin in the little hollow between the two-story house, now standing (1894) and the ' brook, and after working through the summer went back to Rhode Island to work at his trade, in the winter, that of a blacksmith, to pay for his land. This he did for several years. The small piece of bottom land below the mouth of the brook was a beaver meadow, and the industrious little animals had entirely cleared it of timber. This was the only cleared spot on the tract, all the remainder being heav ily timbered with beech, maple, hemlock, elm, etc. It is said that one white elm, which stood a little above the meadow, near where the road now enters the narrow I69I. 1. 1692. ii. 1693. iii. 1694.

The early settlers of these towns in Vermont endured hardships which our modern pioneers know little about. Mrs. Field used to spin wool for some of the wealthier families at ' ' Number 4. ' ' When her week's work,was done she would take the yarn and travel to Charlestown on foot, through the woods, and take her pay in such articles as were most necessary in the family. Mr. Field sometimes worked for the farmers at Charlestown, and carried home on his back the proceeds of his week's labor, a bushel of shelled corn. Daniel Field was commonly called "Quaker Field," from the fact that he always wore the Quaker style of dress, though he was never a member of the sect. His word was always sacredly kept. When the term of service of the Rhode Island troops was about to expire in the army, Washington went among them and person ally besought them to re-enlist, as it was the darkest time of the Revolution. Mr. Field would not enlist, but told Washington he would stay a month longer. Wash ington replied, with thanks, saying, "your word is as good as your bond." During that month of voluntary service he was in the battles of Trenton and Princeton. While her husband was absent working at the forge in the winter to pay for the farm, Mrs. Field lived alone with her two children, in the Vermont forests. Wild animals, especially black bears, wolves and catamounts, were then plenty. Once she scared a huge panther from her door, and at another time thought the Indians were upon her when at night she heard the fierce howls of what proved to be a pack of wolves that came down over the Whipple hill, up to the yard, near the house, in which were two yoke of oxen and a cow. They tried to get the latter, but the oxen stood with their heads facing outward and kept them at bay with their sharp homs. There were sixteen wolves, and though Mrs. Field had two loaded guns in the house, she feared to shoot lest she should kill the cattle. After a half hour fighting with the oxen, the wolves galloped off and left them. She used to hunt the cows in the woods, leading her little boy and carrying the baby in her arms. In those days there was no dam on the river, and she used to ford it at the "Point of Rock," and again at the mouth of the brook. Daniel Field carried on blacksmithing in the shop on the brook until near the time of his death. His son Arthur followed the business after his father's death. Daniel and his wife both died in the old Field mansion. — History of Springfield. He d. July 6, 1824. Res. Springfield, Vt. 1702. i. SALATHIEL, b. Oct. 4, 1778; m.

PETER FIELD (WUliam, Samuel, Benjamin, Anthony, Robert, Wil liam, WiUiam, John, John, William), b. July 7, 1753, New York, N. Y. ; m. May 20, 1 779, Phebe Doty, of Quaker Hill, Dutchess county, N. Y. She was dau. of Elijah and Susannah (Ferris). He was a noted speaker in the House of Friends, b. Nov. 3, 1756: d. March 28, 1840. He first studied medicine, but not liking the practice he gave it up, and went in the jewelry, watch making and silversmith business. His granddaughter has a small pocket medicine case he carried. It is very small, and the material is turkey-morocco bound with silver and clasp ot the same. The lancet is in it She also has the surgeon's scissors that were in it. Peter Field resided in Albany soon after his marriage, where his two youngest children were born, and then he moved back to New York to his old home, where he carried on the jewelry business, watchmaking and silversmithing. He did a very extensive business, and his granddaughter writes that he made the first watch manufactured in America. This watch was stolen during the Revolutionary war by a band of organized robbers, but recovered. He was robbed three times. The band of thieves made a regular business ot it The family was called in one room, and a guard with pistols in hand, g^uarded them while the other robbers stole. At one time they took thirty linen shirts of the family, and at another time his watch, stock-buckles and knee-buckles. The watch and stock-buckle had his name on, and were redeemed from a pawn shop by a friend, who saw them there. Everything else that was of value was taken, unless they belonged to Mrs. Field. The head of the party was named John Hoag, and he had been a schoolmate of Mrs. Field's, and recognized her, and when he went in the room where she was would pull his hat over his eyes and turn his face so that she would not recognize him. He would ask if different things were hers, and if so, would not touch them. The authorities were constantly searching tor the robbers, and finally tracked them to a piece ot woods, where they were seated on a rock, playing cards. The members of the searching party, each selected his man, and took aim and killed all the members of the gang. John Hoag. the leader, was shot in the head, his brains blown out, and he still held the cards in his hands. Mrs. Field often told of it The watch Peter Field, Sr., made is in a descendant's family. The stock-buckle, another great-grandchild has. Phebe Doty Field was called the Quaker Hill beauty, and her oldest daughter, Deborah Doty Field Dill, was in her maidenhood, called the belle of Broadway, New York. At the time of the marriage ot the youngest sister, Maria, to Horace Hall, the clergy man who united them said, they were the handsomest couple he had ever married. The family were all Quakers. Peter Field and his wife, in their old age, after they had given up housekeeping resided with their daughter. They moved to Auburn, N. Y., where Mr. Field owned 600 acres of land, and where he combined farming with his other business as long as his health permitted. He d. Aug. 6, i83g. Res. Albany, New YorK City, and Aubum, N.

Moses Field, ninth child of John and Lydia, and named after an uncle, wasbom Oct. 4, i77g. He removed to New York about i8oo, where his elder brother Josiah had already preceded him, and had been associated in business with John Maunsell Bradhurst After Josiah's death, Moses Field be came a member of the firm of Bradhurst & Field, merchants, from which he retired in or before 1820, and shortly after made the usual European tour, visiting Eng land, France, Italy, etc. On May 17, 1821, not long after his retum to America, he married Susan Kittredge, daughter of the Hon. Samuel Osgood, first commissioner of the United States treasury, postmaster-general under Washington's administra tion, etc. She was born April 12, i7g5. Moses Field died at Peekskill, N. Y., on Oct. 21, 1833, after a life of unostentatious benevolence. During the severe winter of i828-2g, when there was much suffering among the poor of New York, he estab lished a soup house, and kept it up at his own expense, with the exception of some small sums which were sent to him unsolicited on his part. The writer of this — then quite a child— can remember being taken by him on several occasions to this place, where a good meal was given to all the necessitous who came there, and he can still recall the pleasure it gave his father to see the half-starved applicants have their hunger satisfied. This was but one instance in many of a career of active benevolence. Often during his lifetime a deserving and needy person had a load of wood deposited at the door when the cold was severe ; or a loaf or two of bread left at the house daily, who never knew the name of the donor, for he was one of the few who "do good by stealth." His widow, Susan, never recovered from the effects of his loss, and she died in the month ot May, 1834, some six or seven months after her husband. The average daily number of rations given out at the soup house, which Mr. Field established at the corner of Houston and Mercer streets, was 2,686. 382 FIELD GENEALOGY. The following obituary notice of him appeared in the New York American of Oct 25, 1833: "Died at Peekskill on the 21st inst. Moses Field of this city, aged 53 years. The poor could not have sustained a greater loss in an individual. No man had more enlarged, or persevering benevolence in feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and providing for the sick. His greatest happiness appeared to be to mitigate the sufferings and relieve the wants of the virtuous poor." Another obituary in the New York Spectator of Oct. 24, 1833, reads as follows: "It falls to our lot to record the death of Moses Field, Esq., of this city, who after a lingering illness expired at Peekskill on the i8th inst. at the age ot 53. By this dispensation our fellow-citizens have cause to deplore the loss of one of the most useful and philanthropic of their members. The poor among us have special reason to regret the departure of a friend, whose acts of benevolence have rarely been surpassed in any country. He sympathized in their distresses, and, like another Howard — not content with taking the height and depth — the external men suration of human sorrow— he entered the recesses of misery — ministering to the alleviation both of hunger and pain. It is not easy to do justice to that charily which descends from the housetop to the obscurity of the cellar and the stall, lest it may lose in the lowliness of its dispensation, the grandeur of its principles; but it was not for show, or ostentation that Mr. Field visited the abodes of wretched ness. Substantial relief for human suffering was the end he sought for, and the boon he obtained. He founded our soup establishments at a period of unexampled destitution, and he was an efficient and active co-operator in establishing Ihose dis pensaries in our city, that have contributed so much to softening the pains, calami ties, and accidents that flesh is heir to. In every labor of beneficence he was among the foremost ; not merely by contributions from his purse ; but by his per sonal efforts and the higher authority of example. In all our institutions for aiding the poorer classes he was prominent, and in the bestowment ot direct charity he was one of the most efficient and indefatigable of our philanthropists. To say that 'his hand was open as day to melting charity' would be but a commonplace remark. It has been a thousand times quoted, but never, perhaps, with greater fidelity than in its application to Mr. Field. His views were liberal and expansive, embracing in their range the great family of man ; yet so definite and minute in observance, that his ready ear could catch the wail of individual misery, and his watchful eye dis cern and his hand be prepared to relieve it, even on its distant approach."

FIELD GENEALOGY. 383 Mr. Field went to New York city at about the age of eighteen years and entered the counting room of Bradhurst & Field, of which firm his brother Moses was a partner. After acquiring some commercial experience he made a voyage to Guada loupe, and embarked on his return in the ship Washington, which was captured by the British sloop of war Hippomines, and taken to Antigua, where she was released after fifty days' detention, as no French goods were found on board. Mr. Field spent the following winter at Charleston, and was present later at the inauguration of President Madison on March 4, 1809. Not long after his retum to New York, he sailed from there for Amsterdam, and passed the British fleet in the Scheldt, which was attempting to intercept the French. His vessel, the Dean, passed unnoticed between two lines of battleships, and anchored in the Trexel roads; but was driven ashore in a violent gale and condemned. Her cargo of sugar and coffee was seized by the government of Holland, whose throne was then occupied by Louis Bona parte. In 1831 Mr. Field recovered damages from France for this seizure, under the treaty made with that country by the United States during Jackson's presi dency. From Amsterdam, Mr. Field visited successively London, Cadiz, Palermo and New York. He retumed to London from the last place and opened a commis sion house there, which he gave up shortly after, on the passing of the Non-impor tation act, and left England for Holland, accompanied by Mr. George Astor, a nephew ot John Jacob, the founder of the New York family of that name. They landed at the mouth of the Elbe, in a smuggling boat, in defiance of a French prohibition, and by doing so incurred the penalty of death. On the approach of a sentinel, they had to lie down to avoid detection, and after several narrow escapes, they reached Oldenburg, where their passports were "vis6s" for Bremen. They sent them to the commissary of justice on their arrival at Neustadt and were sum moned by him to attend in person. Mr. Field, who spoke German, underwent a long examination, in the course of which he stated that he had corresponded with Meyer & Co., of Bremen, so Mr. Meyer was sent for; who not only identified Mr. Field, but also became his bail. After a visit to Copenhagen, Mr. Field returned to America, where he arrived just before war broke out with Great Britain, whereupon he joined a well-known New York company called the "Iron Greys" and served with this corps during hostilities. On their cessation, he established a commercial house, from which he retired many years before his death. He married in 1818, Eleanor Kingsland, daughter of Wm. de Forest. His wife died at an early age after giving birth to three children, one of whom died in infancy. He married, secondly, Catherine, daughter of Samuel Bradhurst and widow of John McKesson. She died at Nice in 1868, leaving no issue. Mr. Field died at Rome, Feb. 12, 1873. By his first wife he left a son, Hickson W., who married Mary Elizabeth, daughter of John M. Bradhurst, and a daughter, Eleanor Kingsland, wife of the Hon. John Jay. Res. New York, N. Y. 1841. i. HICKSON WOOLMAN, b. Aug. n, 1823; m. Mary E. Bradhurst. 1842. U, ELEANOR KINGSLAND, b. 1818; m. 1837, Hon. John Jay, of Bedford, N. Y. John Jay was born in New York city, June 23, 1817. His father was William Jay, a judge of one of the state courts and a man prominent in the politics and social life of his time. His grandfather was the John Jay (born 1745, died 1829) who was sent to France to assist Benjamin Franklin in the nego tiations for the treaty of peace between this country and Eng land, and who was a leading figure in the events which changed the colonies into free and independent states ; he was also the first chief justice of the United States. Judge William Jay drew down upon himself the hatred of all the slaveholders by his decis- 384 FIELD GENEALOGY. ion in favor of the bondsmen and his outspoken denunciation of slavery. He died Oct 14, 1858. The late John Jay used his pen and tongue freely in opposition to slavery. In 1837, the year after he was graduated from Columbia College, he was married to Miss Eleanor K. Field. After marriage he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1839. Even as a young man he took up the cudgels against negro slavery. He was the secretary of the Irish relief committee of 1847. He acted as counsel without pay for many fugitive slaves. He was elected president of the Union League Club in 1866, and again in 1877. Between 1869 and 1875 he was minister to Austria. In 1877 be was chairman of the committee sent from Washington to investigate the system of the New York custom-house. From 1883 to 1888 he was president of the New York State civil service.

FIELD GENEALOGY. 389 largely to Rutgers College, New Brunswick. Margaret Field, daughter of Phoebe Brokaw and John B. Field, was born Feb. n, 1782, near Bound Brook, N. J. She was a woman of singular beauty and loveliness. April 5, 1800, she was united in marriage to Abraham Van Nest, who was born May 8, 1777, near Somer ville, N. J During his entire career, he gave himself to a life of active usefulness. Closely identified with the early commercial interests of New York, he was far from being a mere merchant, and at his home extended hospitality on the most generous scale. He was deeply attached to the Reformed (Dutch) church, in which denomination he was a prominent layman and elder. For forty years he was a trustee ot Rutgers College, New Brunswick, N. J. , in behalf of which he labored with untiring zeal. Van Nest Hall, one of the college buildings, attests the appreciation of his services. He aided in establishing the Greenwich Savings ban's, and was its president for many years. He was also director in many insurance companies. "A more godly, honorable, magnani mous, and just man than Abraham Van Nest, this generation is not likely to see." He died Sept. 14, 1864, at his beautiful man sion on Bleecker .Street, which had become one of the notable landmarks of the city, in "Old Greenwich Village." It stood, surrounded by trees, in the center of a city block of two and a half acres, the former residence of Sir Peter Warren. Ch. : I. Phoebe, b. Jan. 31, 1801; d.

Aug. 20, 390 FIELD GENEALOGY. 1833, she was married in the old homestead, in Greenwich Village, to John Schermerhorn Bussing, who was born in New York, Oct 15, 1802. and there resided until his death, June g, 1864. He was one of the pioneer wholesale drygoods merchants of the city, of the well known firm of E. & J. Bussing, which remained unchanged during a period of twenty-six years. Later, Mr. Bussing became the head of the firm of John S. Bussing & Co. , iron and nail merchants. He was one of the original incorporators of the New York Life Insurance Co., and president of the Northern Dis pensary. It was a great pleasure to Mr. Bussing to be identified with benevolent and church work. A man full ot spirit and energy, he was always ready when duty called. John S. Bussing, son of Ann Van Nest and John Schermerhorn Bussing, and grandson of Margaret Field and Abraham Van Nest, was born m New York, Sept. 21, 1838. He married in 1873, Katherine, daugh ter of James Breath, ot New York, and m., 2d, in 1882, EmUy Norton, diiughter of Henry T. Jenkins, of New York. For thirty- three years he was engaged in the banking and brokerage busi ness, under the firm name of Gelston & Bus.sing, and retired from active business in i8g8, although retaining his membership in the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Bussing has always been actively identified with Christian work, filling various positions of trust and honor. He holds the office of treasurer of the Board of Domestic Missions of the Reformed church, and is treasurer of the board of trustees of the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association. For several years he has been on the advisory boards of both the Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association, also secretary of the Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association. He is a member of one of the standing committees of the Theological Seminary of the Reformed church, at New Brunswick, N. J. For manv years he has held the position of Elder in the Collegiate church of New York, and is a member of its consistory. In 1863, Mr. Bussing went with his regiment to the seat of war, and for several years held a commission as first lieutenant in the Twenty- second regiment of the National Guard of the state of New York. He is one of the Sons ot the Revolution, being eligible, because of the service in the Revolutionary war of his great-grandfather, John B. Field. Mr. Bussing is also a member of the St Nicholas Society, which is exclusively composed of old Knickerbockers. Among other grandsons of Margaret Field and Abraham Van Nest, may be mentioned: Henry Rutgers Baldwin, M. D., a prominent and greatly beloved physician of New Brunswick, N. J. He is one of the trustees of Rutgers College, and president of the board of health. George Van Nest Baldwin (brother of the above), a lawyer of New York, and president of the New York Society Library. Frank Roe Van Nest, of Newark, N. J., treas urer of the board of directors of the general synod of the Re formed church in America. Gustavus Nelson Abeel was a well- known lawyer of Newark, N.

The old Warren Mansion, the most ancient and the most not able landmark in Greenwich Village, stood in the center of the block, now bounded by Bleecker, Fourth, Charles and Perry streets. It was built in 1740 by Sir Peter Warren, vice-admiral in the Royal navy, and at that time in command of the British fleet in this port, who made it his summer home in distinction from his town house on the Bowling Green. In 1748, when the smallpox was raging in the city, the colonial assembly accepted Sir Peter's tender of his country seat, and adjourned thither to escape the plague by being in the country. The admiral married a daughter of Stephen Delancey, of New York, but subsequently returned to England, where he died in 1752. He was buried in Westminster Abbey. He left three daughters, one of whom, Charlotte, married the Earl pf Abingdon. Upon the division of the estate, she inherited the homestead with fifty-five acres of land round about it. Later, this property passed into the posses sion of Abijah Hammond, who subdivided it into blocks and lots. The block in question, with the mansion house, was sold in 1802 to Whitehead Fish, who resided there until his death. In 1819, his executors sold it to Abraham Van Nest. Notwithstanding the surging waves of aggressive progress which gradually blended the city with the rural districts and absorbed them, Mr. Van Nest made this beautiful spot his home — at first as a summer retreat, later his permanent residence — for nearly fifty years, preserving every feature of its antiquity intact, in the midst of a densely populated district of the city. "ECHOES OF THE GLAD OLD TIME." Mrs. Ann Van Nest Bussing, wife of the late John S. Bu.ssing (now in her eighty-ninth year), recalls* her childish pleasure when, in the eighth year of her age, her father purchased the "Warren House" at Greenwich Village — then two miles beyond the city limit — and the subsequent yearly removals from the city home in William street, where the Corn Exchange bank now stands, to the charming new country seat New York seemed far removed, and the drive to and fro a long and tiresome one, each point on the journey — Chambers street, St. John's Park and the old English Burying ground — being noted in passing, as *This sketch was prepared by her daughter, Mary Bussing. 392 FIELD GENEALOGY. bringing one so much nearer home. The Knickerbocker line of stages — Kip and Brown's — ran every hour to and from the village to the city, those desiring to take the trip giving notice at the office, that the stage might call for the passengers. So lonely and dark was the road at night, that when Mr. Van Nest was detained, later than usual at church meetings, his wife anxiously awaited the arrival of the carriage, fearing lest harm might have over taken him by the way. Originally the place extended to the Hudson river, and a double row of century-old buttonwoods formed an avenue all the way down the gentle slope to the water's edge. The house at that time was approached from the west by a circular driveway which made an extensive sweep around the lawn. This beautiful curve always remained defined, even when grass-g^rown. The house stood in a perfect forest of grand old trees, horse chestnuts, willows, poplars, sycamores and locusts forming in some places an impenetrable shade. Besides these, were peach, apricot, and cherry trees, always laden in their season with deli cious fruit, while a'pear tree, standing guard at one comer of the house, could almost thrust its giant branches into the upper win dows. The long garden extending the entire width of the block, was in summer days a veritable fairyland of flowers, where holly hocks and coxcombs, sweet-william and bleeding-hearts, ragged- sailors and maid-in-the-mist, bachelor-buttons and wallflowers, "old-man" and mignonette, lilies, clove pinks, phlox, poppies, larkspurs, strawberry shrub and all the other dear old-fashioned favorites grew in profusion in their fancifully shaped, box-bor dered beds. During the month of June, the garden was literally pink with roses. In the spring, when the grass was studded with golden dande lions, and hedges of hawthorn, syringas, and purple and white lilacs were in bloom, and snowballs nodded over the old stone sphinx heads at the garden gate, while just below them, the lilies- of-the-valley shook perfume from hundreds of tiny bells, and violets and snowdrops peeped out on every hand, it was all so beautiful, that the remark of a former resident, upon revisiting the spot, did not seem extravagant, that "when she left, she felt like Eve leaving Paradise." Nor must the vegetable garden be overlooked. Lying in another corner of the square, it possessed a beauty all its own- corn stalks with silken plumes, bean poles with their merry climb ers, luscious melons ripening on the ground beneath, asparagus beds, currant, gooseberry, and raspberry bushes growing luxuri antly, even when brick and mortar walls finally overtook lovely "Greenwich," and closed in around this beautiful two-and-a-half acre block which held such a rare gem of genuine country life in its most refined phase. In later years the carriage road ran through from street to street ; at one side stood the stable and carriage house, and the old red cow could often be seen grazing in quiet content on the grassy slopes of the lawn. The ground on which the house stood ANN VAN NEST JOHN S. BUSSING, JR. (Wife of John S. Bussing.) 1844. See page 390. CLOCK IN VAN NEST RESIDENCE. FIELD GENEALOGY. 393 descended so rapidly, that while the steps of the front veranda were five in number, those in the rear numbered fourteen. This natural hill afforded in winter days a grand coasting place for the children pf the family. These undulations, g;rassy banks and terraces — in one of which the ice-house was hidden — increased the rural aspect and added greatly to the general picturesqueness. A wide hall extended through the house, and from the first land ing of the broad, old-fashioned staircase a tall "ancient time piece" ticked its continuous song. Many changes did the old clock note as it kept watch "from its station in the hall." "There groups of merry children played. There youths and maidens dreaming strayed; Prom that chamber, clothed in white. The bride came forth on her wedding night; There in that silent room below. The dead lay in his shroud of snow." The heavy pendulum in its stately, steady march through nearly fifty years, swung frequently between sounds of sorrow and of joy. Four times did the wedding bells ring, when one daughter after another received the marriage blessing in the spacious but home-like parlor, while the family portraits''' which lined the walls looked calmly down upon the succeeding festivities. More often did sorrow overshadow the happy home ; for not only did infancy, childhood, Jrouth and manhood again and again fall at the touch of the Reaper, but also the dearly loved and honored mother — the "beautiful" Godmother — who from that quiet "room below" passed peacefully into the Paradise of God. The gatherings at Christmas-tide, when the entire family, children, grandchildren, ahd great grandchildren — in later years numbering about fifty — rallied at the old homestead to cluster around the beloved patriarch and exchange "Merry Christmas" greetings, are now remembered as "story-book times," as "fairy tales," or "beautiful dreams of long ago." Dearly did the little children love to stand by "Grandpa's" side, and feed the pigeons from the "Study" window, when in response to his gentle call of "coo-coo," there would be a sudden fluttering in the dove-cots, and like a cloud of grey and white, the birds would alight on the grass by scores to receive the hand- f uis of corn which were showered upon them. In this same room, the sanctum sanctorum, were initiated many plans for the pro motion of the welfare of the Reformed Dutch church, whose interests were so dear to the heart of Mr. Van Nest. "In that mansion used to be Free-hearted hospitality; His great fires up the chimney roared. The stranger feasted at his board." Especially were the doors thrown open to the clergy, who were welcome and frequent guests. On the ground floor was an inter esting relic of olden times — the double Dutch door, which opened gardenward ; and often might be seen leaning upon it the old colored Aunty who during Mr. Van Nest's childhood had lived , *Three of the portraits are here reproduced by permission. 394 FIELD GENEALOGY. as a slave in his father's tamily, after serving nearly forty years in his own, and whose descendants remained with him to the end of his life. The cellar, with its stone floor, and hanging shelves laden with shining pans of milk and cream, its chum producing the delicious home-made butter, and the intensely cold and icy vault below, all became in time curiosities, as the city drew near, invaded, and finally captured the little village of Greenwich, and then passed rapidly on to lay its vigorous and prosaic hand on other suburban districts further up town. Notwithstanding these encroachments, Mr. Van Nest ' 'pursued the even tenor of his way," and retained this beautiful spot as his home — a refreshing oasis in the city of New York — until his death in 1864, in the eighty-eight year of his age. Shortly afterward it was sold, the trees felled, the house demolished, and the whole place, so filled with sacred associa tions, swept out of sight; but never will it cease to exert its magic spell over the minds and hearts of those members of the family circle who were old enough to remember the happy, happy days at "Grandpa's house at Greenwich." "Long, long be my heart with such memories filled, Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled; You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still." 924.

Dennis served a term on board a gunboat guarding the harbors of Amboy. Others were Minutemen, good and true, largely instrumental in securing to this land the liberties we now enjoy. The generations lived in honest belief of the teachings of the Bible, 396 FIELD GENEALOGY. strongly Presbyterian in their denominational leanings, contributed much, in a peculiar way, as in personal effort, for the maintenance of public morals and relig ion. The liberty of worshiping God according to their own convictions of truth was in fact, as has been hinted, the great incentive in emigrating from England to this country at first ; they desired a more perfect liberty, civil and religious ; to secure this they did not hesitate to subject themselves to all the anxieties and dis comforts of emigrating to this, then new and wild wilderness, three thousand mUes away. The ruling characteristics of this branch of the family, and perhaps their greatest-usefulness to the world, has been their example of earnestness in the com mon pursuits of life. Dennis was granted a pension in 1833 tor Revolutionary war service. See record of Revolutionary pensioners. He d. April 21, 1848; res, PIsca taway, Middlesex county, N. J. 1909. i.

Henry, an apothecary, rose to high esteem among the brethren of his profession, as testified by the offices which from time to time he filled. In 1807 he was elected apothecary to Christ's Hospital. He was also lecturer and treasurer to the Society of Apothecaries, one of the Board of Health in 1831 for prevention of cholera, the city of London presenting him with a silver center for his table. He was also for many years treasurer of the London Annuity Society for the benefit of widows of apothecaries, in Chatham Place, Blackfriars, which his father had founded. Among his writings may be mentioned '.'Memoirs of the Botanick Garden"at Chel sea. He maintained his powers tUl his eighty-third year, when he died at Wood ford, Essex, Dec. 19, 1837, and was buried at Cheshunt. His portrait was painted for the Apothecaries by R. Pickeragill, and for the Annuity Society by Samuel Lane, and an engraving from the latter was so skilfully executed by Charles Tumer that the family regard it as a better likeness than the original painting. Mr. Field married on Sept. 2, 1784, Esther, daughter of E. Barron, Esq., of Woolacre House, near Deptford, and by her, who died Jan. 16, 1834, left six sons and two daughters. Res.

He was proud of being a direct descendant of Oliver Cromwell; his grandfather, John Field, who was also an apothecary, having married Anne CromweU, a great-granddaughter of Henry Cromwell, the lord deputy of Ire land. His father was medical officer to Christ's Hospital, to which he was sent when he was only six years old as a private pupil of the headmaster. Here he remained till i8ig, and then went on to Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1823 he was tenth wrangler, chancellor's classical and medalist, and Tyrwhitt's Hebrew scholar, and in 1824 he was elected fellow of his college, in company with T. B. Macaulay, Henry Maiden and G. B. Airy. Owing probably to some degree of deafness which began early in life and which in his later years became so aggravated as to make him avoid all society, he took no part in the public tuition of his college, though he was examiner for the classical tripos in 1833 and 1837. He read with private pupils, among whom was P. D. Maurice, and having been ordained by Kaye, bishop of London, in 1828, he thenceforth devoted himself almost entirely to biblical and patristical studies. His name is inseparably con nected with Chrysostom's homilies on St. Matthew, which were printed and published at Cambridge, in i83g, in three volumes, with an improved Greek text, various readings and explanatory notes. He shortly after ceased to reside in Cambridge, and for the next twenty -four years combined parochial work with his lit erary labors. For three years he had charge of the small parish of Great Saxham in Suffolk, and in 1842 he was presented by his college to the rectory of Reepham in Norfolk, with a population of five or six hundred, and with an income of 700 or 800 pounds per annum. Here he lived an honored and useful life for twenty-one years, dividing his time between his pastoral duties, latterly with the assistance of a curate, and various theological works. He was of simple, inexpensive habits, and unmarried; and during his incumbency he enlarged and improved the chan cel of his church, and built a school, which was maintained chiefly at his expense besides leaving behind him other memorials of his interest in his parish. His chief literary work while he was at Reepham was his edition of Chrysostom's "Homilies on St. Paul's Epistles," executed on the same plan as the "Homilies on St. Matthew." and published in seven volumes, between i84g and 1862, in the Oxford "Library of the Fathers." He next undertook a new edition of the fragments of Origen's "Hexapla." As he was well aware that this design would require the whole of his time and attention for many years, he resigned his living in 1863, 398 FIELD GENEALOGY. and removed to Norwich, where he continued to reside until his death. His wish was to utUize and embody on Montfaucon's edi tion the large mass of materials that had been brought to light since its publication in 1713; especially those derived from the Oxford edition of the Septuagint by Holmes and Parsons 1798- 1827, and those from the Syro-hexaplar version, which had been partly published in fragments by various foreign scholars. These two chief sources of improvement had, as he himself expressly states, been sagaciously pointed out by J. G. Eichhorn in his "Introduction to the Old Testament" Accordingly, in Atigust, 1864, he printed for private circulation a thin 4to pamphlet, entit led "Otium Norvicense, " containing specimens of the kind and amount of assistance to be expected from the Syro-hexaplar ver sion; and he also issued "Proposals" for publishing the work by subscription, in five parts, price 12s. each, with the promise of sending the work to press as soon as two hundred copies were subscribed for. The number of subscribers, however, did not by the end of the following year amount to much more than one-half of what was required, and the whole scheme would probably have been abandoned if Dr. Robert Scott, the Greek lexicogra pher, had not induced the delegates of the Oxford Clarendon Press, of which he was one, to take upon themselves the cost of the publication. It was accordingly issued in parts, and finished in 1874, in two large, handsome 410 volumes, with loi pages of "Prolegomena" full of information respecting the various ver sions and other critical matter, and 76 pages of auctarium and indices. The work, if not remunerative to the delegates in point of money, added much to their reputation for judicious liberality; for it was at once recognized as one of the most important comri butions to patristic theology that had anywhere appeared for more than a century. He was immediately made an LL.D. of Cambridge, and an honorary fellow of his college ; the degree of D.C.L. was offered him by the University of Oxford, but de clined, because on account of his age and deafness he shrank from the necessary formality of a personal attendance. He had been appointed in 1870 an original member of the Old Testament revision company. His age and his deafness prevented his at tending any of their meetings, but he constantly sent written notes and suggestions, and in this way was one of their most useful coUeagues. He lived to see the work practically finished, but died April ig, 1885, a few weeks before it was published. At the end of the preface to his ' Origen" he give a short account of his life and labors, written with dignified simplicity, and without any word of complaint at having been passed over in the distri bution of ecclesiastical honors. He speaks of himself as holding firmly the catholic faith as set forth by the Reformed chuich of England; as having avoided the errors both of (so-called) Evan gelicals, and of Rationalists, and (which is the last ulcer) of Rit ualists and Romanizers (Papazantium); and of having devoted his life to study without patronage, gain or honor; and as re&dy, above all things, in his old age lo assist younger students. In his own line of learning he was certainly not surpassed by any scholar FIELD GENEALOGY. 399 of his age ; and it was by a happy phrase that the bishop of Lin coln, Christopher Wordsworth, designated him as "the Jerome of the Anglican church." The unusual combination of Greek with Oriental scholarship made his opinion specially valuable. It is only due to his memory to state that "his estimate of the claims of the revised version (of the New Testament) as aiming to take the place of the authorized version was decidedly unfavorable;" his objections being grounded partly on the great number of needless verbal alterations, and partly on the reconstruction of the Greek text by too exclusively relying on the "ancient author ities," without sufficiently taking into consideration in each case "the internal evidence of the good sense and propriety of the passage itself." On this subject he printed for private circulation (1881) "A Letter to the Rev. Philip Schaff, D.D., president of the American Committee on Revision." Field coUected a very valu able library of books connected with biblical, classical and gen eral literature, which was sold by auction at Norwich for a very inadequate sum. It is believed that he left behind him no manu scripts of importance. A brass tablet to his memory was put up by his only surrviving sister in Reepham church, and another in the chapel of Trinity College, Cambridge. The Latin inscription on the latter was written by the master. Dr. WUliam H. Thomp son. Field's other works, printed at his own expense, but not pub lished, were a volume of thirty-two sermons, 1878; a second part of the "Otium Norvicense," 1876, containing critical observations on some of the words in Dr. Payne Smith's "Thesaurus Syria- cus," and a third part, 1881, containing "Notes on Select Passages of the Greek Testament, Chiefiy with Reference to Recent Eng lish Versions." All of these are favorable specimens of his learning and critical acumen, even if they are not all equally con vincing ; but one deserves especial notice. He claims to have been the first person to revive, in 1839, the ancient explanation of the true reading in St Mark's gospel, vii, 19, which, after re maining almost unnoticed for about forty years, was adopted without even any marginal variation in the revised version of i88i. This third part of the "Otium Norvicense" is about to be published shortly at the Oxford Clarendon Press. He edited for the Christian Knowledge Society Barrow's "Treatise on the Pope's Supremacy," 1851; a Greek Psalter, 1S57; and the Sep tuagint, 1879, not a critical edition, nor on his own plan, but a revision of Grabe's text, with the order of the books changed in accordance with the English Bible, and with the apocryphal books separated from the canonical. 1924. vii.

John Field, his father, a London medical practitioner, and founder of the London Annuity Society, was a man of property, who married Anne, daughter of Thomas CromweU, and sister of Oliver Cromwell (1742 ?-i82i). Field got a good classical training ; while at school he corresponded with his father in Latin. He -studied for the ministry first at Homerton, but left that insti tution for doctrinal reasons soon after the appointment of John Fell (i73S-i797). 1° •Names of other ancestors dropped for convenience. FIELD GENEALOGY. 401 1788 he entered Daventry Academy under Thomas Belsham, and left when Belsham resigned (June, 1789). Field succeeded James Kettle in 1789 as minister of the Presbyterian congregation at Warwick, where he was ordained on July 12, 1790. On this occasion Belsham gave the charge, and Priestley preached. Dr. Parr, who then first met Priestley, attended their service and the ordination dinner. Thus began Field's close intimacy with. Parr, a connection fostered by their com mon devotion to classical studies. Field at once (1791) started a Sunday-school (the first in Warwick). This led him into a squabble with some local clergy. Field, who was always ready for a pamphlet war, issued the first of many productions of his incisive pen, in which the dignity of style, and the profusion of literary and classical illustration contrast curiously with the pettiness of the disputes. His meeting-house, rebuilt in 1780, was fitted with a sloping floor, to improve the audi torium ; Field excited some comment by surmounting the front of the building with a stone cross. About 1830 he undertook the charge of an old Presbyterian meeting house at Kenilworth, conducting afternoon service in addition to his Warwick duties. This meeting-house was rebuilt in 1846 by his son Edwin Wilkins Field. Field remained in active duty for nearly sixty years. He resigned Warwick in 1843, and was succeeded in 1844 by Henry Ashton Meeson, M. D. At Kenil worth he was succeeded in 1850 by John Gordon. Field kept a boarding-school at Leam, near Warwick. This led to his publishing some educational manuals, of which the most valuable was his "Questions on the Gospel History," recommended in the "Critical Review," June, 1794, to theological students in the two universities. His history of Warwick and his life of Parr are important works. He died at Leam, on Aug. 16. 1821 ; a marble slab to his memory was placed in High Street Chapel, Warwick, by his wife, Mary (Wilkins), who died at Liverpool on Oct. 2, 1848, aged sixty-four. He had a numerous family, of whom Edwin Wilkins was the eldest; Horace was an architect. Field was of diminutive stature, with a noble head; his portrait has been engraved. He never forgot the distinction of his Cromwell blood; his extensive correspondence was both erudite and racy ; he was a genial host, and his conversation, in spite of his constitutional deafness, was very enjoyable. Field published a multitude of pamphlets and sermons, from his (i) "Letter to the Inhab itants of Warwick," etc., 1791, 8vo; to his (2) "Letter to the Inhabitants of Kenil worth," etc., 1848, i2mo. In addition to these his chief publications were: (3) "A Series ot Questions as a Guide to the Critical Study of the Four Gospels," etc., 1794, i2mo; second edition printed 1805; copies were issued from time to time for pri vate use (with various title-pages), but it was not published till 1846, i2mo, with large introduction. (4) "An Historical and Descriptive Account of Warwick and Leamington," etc., Warwick, 1815, 8vo. (anon., "advertisement" signed W. F. ; plates). (5) "Memoirs of the Rev.

Mr. Bingham was born in the viUage of Morristown, Vt, Oct. 14, i82g. His family was of the best New England stock. He was educated in Stowe, Vt, and for a time taught school there, but relinquished the profession of teacher with the hope he undoubtedly had at that time of a professional life, to enter into mercantile business in New York City. In 1853 he was engaged as bookkeeper in the New York branch of the house of Jones, White & McCurdy, and he filled that position for about five years. Those were days of small things in the dental sup ply business, and the young bookkeeper had ample time and opportunity to master all the details of the business, which he succeeded in doing most thoroughly. In 1858, when it was decided to open a branch in Chicago, Dr. Samuel S. White, with that rare and intuitive judgment of men for which he was remark able, named Mr. Bingham as the one best qualified to take charge of the enterprise. Probably no one was more surprised at this selection than Mr. Bingham himself, but during the whole thirty- eight years that the Chicago branch has been in existence there never has been a day or an hour in which the wisdom of that choice has not been manifest. Mr. Bingham was a man of great energy and untiring industry, of spotless integrity, and remark able for his foresight and correct judgment. Added to these were a ready tact, a warm heart, and a sympathizing nature that won for him the esteem and affection of literally thousands, who looked to him as their sincere friend and often adviser and helper. In business matters his opinions were quickly formed. FIELD GENEALOGY. 407 and his advice, continually sought, was promptly and frankly given in terse and convincing language. There was never any issue between him and the home office. His conduct of the busi ness was so wise, so strictly upright and just to all, that it was impossible to take exception to it. The career of the Chicago branch has been most successful, its progress continually upward, and the past year was the greatest in its history. It is undeni able that the largest factors ot that prosperity were the ability and personality of Stillman R. Bingham. Mr. Bingham's influ ence among the dentists in that territory in which his life's work was accomplished was very marked and important. Since his death, at his late residence and at the company's office, in Chi cago, there have been from among the members of the dental profession innumerable callers, and showers of letters which it has not been possible to answer in detail, referring to him affec tionately, with expressions of sorrow as lor personal loss ; many of them telling in touching language of kindly acts, of wise counsel, ot material help bestowed upon them in time of need. One of these communications refers to Mr. Bingham as the writer's financial and moral savior, and there are many others of similar tenor. It is safe to say that in matters of morals, principles, and even of the conduct of business and professional life no one of the many hundreds of young men who sought coun sel from Mr. Bingham ever made a mistake by following his advice. It was largely through his influence that the now great and important Illinois State Dental Society was formed. The same is true of the Chicago Dental Society, the meetings of which were for a long time held in the rooms of the S. S. White Dental Depot It was mainly Mr. Bingham's arguments that decided its originators to organize in the brotherhood of a society. He was always most heartily welcome at the meetings of these and other dental associations ot Illinois and the adjacent states, and throughout the entire country now tributary to Chicago there is no name which is more widely or more familiarly known in dental circles, or which calls forth more kindly remark, than that of S. R. Bingham. For many years he was among the best known and most highly esteemed of the business men of Chicago. Outside of his own business he was still the same kindly, patient, self-denying man, fruitful in good works. He was a liberal sup porter of charities, and active in all movements of a benevolent nature or for the public weal. His private contributions in response to appeals for help were a constant drain upon his resources. He was a life-long worker in church and Sunday- schools. The Eighth Presbyterian church of Chicago was organ ized in his parlor over thirty years ago, and his labors in its behall were incessant until it was completed and self-supporting. During the twenty-two years of his residence in Highland Park he was an elder and earnest worker in the Presbyterian church of that town, and was untiring in his zeal in all movements for the welfare of the community. As a speaker he possessed remark able gifts of oratory ; he was original and humorous, and when his indignation was aroused his language was keen, incisive and 408 FIELD GENEALOGY. overwhelm ing. His logic was sure and his arguments exhaustive. These qualities characterized his writings, and many of his let ters have been kept for years as choice gems by his triends, who will now hold them as beyond price. A depth of affection existed between Samuel S. White and Stillman R. Bingham which was the most extraordinary that ever came under the writer's obser vation. It was not because they were associated in business or engaged in kindred pursuits. Their mutual esteem would have been as sincere and lasting if they had no business relations, provided they had been brought into as intimate contact. They were both men of noble mold, of high and pure ideals. They were pre-eminently chaste men in thought, speech and conduct They had deeply religious natures. Firmly believing, in a Divine Father and Guide, they desired nothing more earnestly than to know and do His will. They were gentlemen in the best sense of the word, — gentle, patient, sympathizing, self-sacrificing, with helping hands ever extended toward the suffering and fallen. In business they had unusual energy and foresight, as the results of their labors bear eloquent testimony. They were good disciplin arians, and had the rare faculty of being able to evoke the best service of their employes, every one ot them served them gladly. So they were drawn together, and their attachment was a rare and noble instance of manly love. Since the death of Dr. S. S. White, sixteen years ago, Mr. Bingham has talked much and often to his friends of his association with his beloved "Chief," as he was wont to call him, and with a faith that never for an instant wavered he would anticipate again meeting him beyond the grave, where there is no more parting. The management of the S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Co., since the death of Dr. S. S. White, have looked to and depended upon Mr. Bingham more than upon any other one man. His forty-three years of service with the company and its predecessors was a remarkable experience, which, added to his great ability, noble character and sure judgment, made of him an eminently wise and safe counselor. Those who are now left in the management will miss him with an increasing sense of loss as the days roll on. Per sonally, as well as in business relations, he was far more to them than can be expressed here. Ch. : (a) Charles Lyman Bingham, b. in Jericho Centre, Vt, June 13, 1852; m.

Dr. John Elliott, the minister of the parish in which his father lived, entered Yale, and graduated in 1802. His fellow room-mate and student for three years in college was Jeremiah Evarts, who has been so well known for his labors in the cause of religion and humanity, and the father of Hon. William M. Evarts. In the same class were many who afterwards became eminent men — Isaac C. Bates, United States senator from Massachusetts; Judge Hubbard, of Boston ; William Maxwell, of Virginia ; Governors Tomlinson and Pond, of Connecticut ; Junius Smith, famous in connection with ocean steam navigation, and Pelatiah Perit, a distinguished merchant of New York. More than a third of the class became ministers of the gospel. On leaving college he prosecuted his theological studies at Somers, Conn,, under Rev. Dr. Charles Backus, an eminent teacher and divine. In September, 1803, he was licensed to preach by the New Haven East Association. He was soon invited to preach as a candidate at Haddam, Conn. ; after a few months he was settled as pastor, April n, 1804. Here his labors were arduous, being in an undivided township of twelve school districts, and with few carriage roads ; but with every spot, family and school he was soon / - REV.

FIELD GENEALOGY. 411 famUiar. His pastoral duties were performed with great conscientiousness and fidelity ; his preaching was eamest and effective, full of unction and power. Here he remained until April, 1818, just fourteen years; and then resigned his charge and spent the next five months on a missionary tour in western New York, under the direction of the Old Connecticut Missionary Society, going along the shore of Lake Ontario as far as Buffalo. At the latter place there was no house of worship to be found. On his return he accepted a call from the Congregational church in Stock- bridge, Mass., as successor of the venerable Dr. Stephen West, who had then recently died. He was installed pastor of this church, Aug. 25, i8ig. With this church and society he continued nearly eighteen years, when he resigned, and sin gularly enough, was installed April n, 1837, over his old society in Haddam, just thirty-three years from his first ordination there. The same year, 1837, the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by WilUams College. In 1844, the parish which he had served so long being much larger, was divided, and he took charge of the new society formed at Higganum in the northem part. There he remained in the full discharge of ministerial duty a second term of fourteen years, seven over the old church, and seven over the new one. During his residence there in 1848 he crossed the ocean with one of his sons and spent several months in Great Britain and France. In the spring of 185 1, having reached the age of sev enty, he yielded to the wishes of his children, retired from public labor, and returned to Stockbridge, where after sixteen years of retirement he died. Dr. Field had a natural fondness and taste for historical and genealogical researches. He published in 1819 a history of Middlesex county. Conn.; a history of Berkshire county, Mass., in a volume of nearly 500 pages; an historical address at Middletown, Conn., forming with its appendix a book of 300 pages; a genealogy of the Brainard family in Haddam, a volume of 300 pages ; and a number of his occasional sermons have been printed. He was historian ot his class, and in 1862 published a minute account of all its members, living and dead, with their de scendants. On the day on which he died he rode out and called upon several of his old par ishioners. One ot them. Colonel Williams, said to him, "Dr. Field, I am glad to see you so well," and he replied, "I was never better in my life." He had a little granddaughter or great-granddaughter on the seat with him, and rode home with his arm about her. On entering his room he took off the scarf from his neck, and had been seated in his favorite chair, a relic of the Mayflower, but a moment, when his head fell back, his body and limbs became rigid, and he could no more be awak ened. The funeral took place on the afternoon of Thursday, April i8th. Prayer was offered at the house by Rev. N. H. Eggleston, the pastor of the village church. The remains were borne to the church, where addresses appropriate to the occasion were delivered by Mr. Eggleston, Rev. Mark Hopkins, LL.D., president of Williams College,-and Rev. John Todd, D.D., of Pittsfield. Rev. WUliam B. Sprague, D.D., in a notice of Dr. Field, says: "In all his relations he was a model of firmness, conscientiousness, discretion and punctuality. ' ' Rev. Dr. Marsh and Prof. Morgan, of Oberlin, Ohio, wrote some interesting newspaper sketches of Dr. Field Dr. Field was a corresponding member of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, having been elected in 1847, two years after the society was organized. He was also vice-president of the Connecticut Historical Society, and corresponding member of the Massachusetts and Pennsylvania Historical Societies. The town of Stockbridge commenced its existence as a mission station among the Muh-he-ka-neew, or, as they have since been called, the Stockbridge Indians. This people, in many respects the most interesting of all our aboriginal tribes, were scattered along the Housatonic river, on the interval lands in what are now the 412 FIELD GENEALOGY. towns of Sheffield, Great Barrington and Stockbridge. Their history, manners, customs and language, would form a volume by itself, and cannot be even alluded to in a sketch like the present. Those who desire a full and interesting account of them, may consult a book recently published by Samuel Bowles & Co., of Springfield, called "Stockbridge, Past and Present; or. Records of an Old Mission Station," by Miss E. F. Jones, which contains the most perfect information concerning them yet given to the public. The situations of these Indians early claimed the considera tion of many philanthropists on both sides of the Atlantic, among whom were his Excellency, Jonathan Belcher, then governor of the commonwealth ; Rev. Dr. Ben jamin Colman, an influential clergyman of Boston, and Dr. Sewall, of the same city. At this time, Konkapot and Umpachene were the two principal men among the Housatonic Indians; the former holding a captain's and the latter a lieutenant's commission, under the British crown. Konkapot, who was a man of unusual shrewdness and intelligence, desired Christian instruction for himself and people, which fact, coming to the knowledge of Rev. Mr. Hopkins, of West Springfield, he set himself to gratify so laudable an aspiration. Having ascertained that funds supplied by the Trans-Atlantic Society for the Promotion of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, were deposited in the hands of commissioners in Boston for such purposes here, and knowing that John Stoddard, Esq., of Northampton, was intimately acquainted with the state of the Indians in western Massachusetts, he visited him in their behalf, March, 1734. Having obtained from him information that favored his intentions, he next conferred with Rev. Dr. Williams, of Longmeadow, and at their united request. Rev. Wm. Williams, of Hatfield, wrote to the commissioners to solicit their attention towards the Housatonic Indians. The commissioners requested Dr. Williams and, Mr. Hopkins to visit the Indians personally, and ascer tain more particularly their situation and wishes, concerning religious and other instruction. They did so, and made a report, which resulted in the sending of Rev. John Sergeant, as missionary to the Housatonic valley, with a salary of 100 pounds per annum. He arrived in October, 1734. In order that the ends of the mission might best be attained it was desirable that the Indians should concentrate in some particular locality. This they con sented to do, Konkapot and Umpachene using all their influence to aid the enter prise. To further the object, the legislature, in 1735, granted a township, six miles square, which included the present towns of Old and West Stockbridge. Into this the Indians moved in 1736, and were gradually increased by additions from north ern Connecticut and westem New York, so as to length to amount to about 400 souls. John Stoddard, Ebenezer Pomeroy and Thomas Ingersoll, Esqs., were appointed a committee "to weigh and consider all things and circumstances," rela tive to the location and settlement of the town, to confer with the Indians in rela tion thereto, and arrange with the proprietors of the lower township, now Sheffield, granted in 1722, for the extinction of their claims, which overlay to some extent the newly projected township. Everything was, at length, and after some difficulty, satisfactorily adjusted, and in 1739 the tract was incorporated under the title ot Stockbridge, doubtless from a town of the same name in England, whose natural features are said to be strikingly similar. According to the judgment of the locat ing committee, one sixtieth part of the land was to be reserved for the missionary; another sixtieth for the schoolmaster, and a sufficient portion for four other English famUies, who should settle in it, and assist in the benevolent labor of civilizing and Christianizing the Indians. Under this arrangement the mission commenced and progressed auspiciously. The chief missionary was, as has been mentioned. Rev. John Sergeant, a native of Newark, N. J. ; a graduate of Yale CoUege, in 1729, and tutor there for four years from 1731. He first arrived at the scene of his labors in THE OLD FIELD PLACE, HADDAM, CONN.

EMILIA ANN FIELD. — BY REV. HENRY M. FIELD. The second of our family was a daughter, bom Feb. 22, 1807, and it was a happy time in the parsonage when there was the pattering of the little feet of a boy and girl. Still more dear did the latter become, as after her there were six little brothers, to whom she was the only sister, and to whom in their childhood she had to be a kind of second mother. How well she performed her gentle task, and how much these boys owed her watchful care, they always remembered, but their love and gratitude could never repay. She inherited much of her mother's beauty, as well as industry, and attention to all the frugalities of the household. With these domestic virtues, she had an intelligence that needed larger means of education than the village schools could supply, and from these she passed to seminaries in Westfield, Mass., and Wethersfield and Litchfield, Conn. At the age of twenty-two, she was married to Rev. Josiah Brewer,* a native of Tyringham, a neighboring town to Stockbridge. He had pursued his studies at Yale College, where he ranked very high as a scholar. He was graduated in 1821, and was for two years a tutor in that institu tion. He studied theology at Andover, and went out, under an appointment of the American Board, and of a Society of Ladies formed in Boston for the promotion of Christianity among the Jews, to inquire into the condition of that people in Turkey. From Smyrna and Constantinople he went to Greece during the *He was born in Berkshire county, Mass., in 1796; died in Stockbridge, Mass., Nov. 19, 1872. He was graduated at Yale in 1821, and became a tutor in the college after post-graduate study. He was one of the first to volunteer as a missionary to Turkey for the American Board, and in 1830 sailed for the East, beginning his labors at Smyrna, only three years after the Greek revolu tion. The battle of Navarino had destroyed the Turkish navy and had opened the door for influences from abroad. Mr. Brewer was the first to introduce schools and the printing press. He established the first paper in Smyrna, where several journals are now published in different languages. The schools he founded have served as models to introduce European education into the Turkish empire. After a few years he returned home. He published "Residence in Con stantinople" (New Haven, 1827) and "Patmos and the Seven Churches of Asia" (1851).— Appleton. 414 FIELD GENEALOGY. war of its revolution. It was about the time of the battle of Navarino. As the war was then raging with such fury as to inter fere with immediate missionary labor, he returned to the United States after an absence of two years. The fruit of his observation was given to the public in a volume on Turkey. His connection with the Board was soon terminated, owing to some difference of opinion as to the missionary policy to be pursued. But he was immediately engaged by a Ladies' Greek Association formed in New Haven, Conn., to undertake a separate work, which was to be chiefly that of Female Education among the Greeks — a thing till then almost unknown among a people so gifted with natural intelligence. Accordingly, as soon as he was married, he re turned to the East, and took up his residence in Smyrna, where he remained nine years. Here he established schools both for Greek girls and for the children of Franks resident in Smyrna. Of these schools, and of the family to which he was introduced, the late Dr. E. C. Wines, who was then a chaplain in the Navy. and paid a visit to Smyrna on board a ship of war, draws this pleasant picture in a volume entitled "Two Years and a Half in the Navy," pp. 132-34: "Having letters of introduction to Mr. Brewer, immediately on landing I called on him at his residence, which was between Frank street and the Marina. His house was the first I had seen, since entering the Mediterranean, with wooden stairs and floors, and it had the oddest appearance than can be imagined. ' 'I received a hearty welcome from Mr. Brewer and his family, and soon found myself at home there. Mr. Brewer is employed as a missionary by a society of ladies in New Haven, and the primary object of his mission is the education of the Greek females. He is known to the world as the author of an interesting work on Turkey, the result of his observations while employed as a traveling missionary by the American Board. His character is marked by mildness, modesty, good sense and an unaffected piety. His wife is uncommonly beautiful, and a woman of the finest intelligence and most fascinating manners. Associated with Mr. Brewer in his enterprise, and a member of his family, is a Miss Reynolds, a young lady possessing high qualifications for her station in point of talent, cultivation and piety. [She was after wards married to Rev. Dr. Schauffler, of Constantinople.] A brother of Mrs. Brewer, a lad of spirit and promise, and two or three charming little chUdren, completed the family circle; and it was one of the happiest and most agreeable I have ever known. Mr. J. of the 'Boston,' my friend and companion, knew them intimately before he left the United States, and while we re mained in Smyrna we used to spend almost all our evenings under their hospitable roof. We were often gratified at seeing the little groups of black- eyed, dark-complexioned, intelligent-looking Greek girls, who would enter the house with trifling presents of fruits or fiowers, and who seemed to cherish towards their benefac tors the affection of daughters. There was one who spent nearly all her days in the family for the purpose of learning embroidery and English, and whose truly classic face, whose modest and '^MiiLM.j^ji FIELD GENEALOGY. 415 sprightly manners, and lisping English, pronounced with a voice of uncommon richness, and in tones of faltering distrust, could not have failed to awaken an interest even in one who had never heard of her progenitors. "Mr. Brewer and Miss Reynolds have generously given up the whole of their salaries to the support of the Greek schools, and gain a livelihood for themselves by keeping a Frank school, for which they have been guaranteed two hundred pounds a year for five years. This school is made up of the children of European and American merchants, and is the first of the kind ever known in Smyrna. The pupils of different sexes have separate apart ments, and form interesting groups. They dress in the costumes of their different countries, and the conversation of those who belong to each nation is usually carried on in their own language ; but the common medium of communication is the modem Greek. One of Mr. Brewer's pupils was an Armenian by the name of Tackvor, who was leaming English, and who interested greatly all our officers. He was a young man of about twenty, with dark eyes and intelligent features, of mild and engaging manners, and a disposition full of kindness and sincerity. We were greatly indebted to him for the services he rendered as interpreter in our intercourse with the Turks, and as a guide in showing us the cu riosities of the place. "During our stay in Smyrna I often visited the Greek female schools under Mr. Brewer's charge, and was not more delighted than surprised at the order with which they were conducted, the eager desire of knowledge which the pupils appeared to feel, and the rapid progress they made in their studies. They were con ducted on the Lancasterian plan by native teachers, and the chil dren were instructed not only in the branches taught in our own common schools, but in knitting, needlework, embroidery, etc. I saw little girls, who had been attached to the schools only a few months, who could write a fair hand, and read with tolerable facility in the Testament. The needlework of some of the older girls would scarcely have discredited any lady in the United States. The whole number of children in all the schools was somewhat rising of 200. "Mr. Brewer's schools were the first ever established in Smyrna — at least in modem times — for the cultivation of the female mind. They threw the whole Smymiote population into amaze ment. Females — by the servile Greek, as well as by the haughty, self-complacent Ottoman, regarded as the mere slaves and play things of man — females capable of intellectual culture and refine ment ! The thing was unheard of, and produced a dreadful whirl ing in men's ideas of truth and propriety. But the experiment was confidently made, and has succeeded even beyond the anti cipation of its authors. Its efiects are not limited to the schools which Mr. Brewer has established, but are seen also in the revo lution, they have effected in public sentiment, and the consequent exertions made on the part of many of the more wealthy and respectable Greeks to educate their daughters." To the same effect is the testimony of Commodore J. E. De 416 FIELD GENEALOGY. Kay in a work entitled "Turkey in 1831 and 1832." In his description of Smyrna, he says, pp. 500-1: "Another pleasing sight was a school established by Mrs. Brewer and under her superintendence, for the education of Greek girls. .Mrs. Brewer has another school under her own roof, to which she devotes her more immediate care. The pupils pay for their instruction, and the money thus derived is expended upon the large school above mentioned. In addition to this, Mr. Brewer directs an excellent school, composed of the sons and daughters of Frank merchants. The instruction is in English, and it was curious to see the children of even English parents speaking their own language with a foreign accent. As I entered the school, one of the boys was reciting the well known effusion of Marco Bozzaris ; and various associations of a personal nature were produced on hearing this spirited lay delivered on the spot where the Greek formerly displayed his ancient heroism, and where now he was called upon in foreign accents to 'Strike for bis altars and his fires, God and his native land.' ' 'Mr. Brewer also conducts a paper in modem Greek, entitled 'The Friend of Youth.' It is filled with various moral and in structive essays, and has been the instrument of effecting much good. I regretted to leam that it would soon pass into other hands ; for the owner of the press entertains the erroneous idea that money is made by it, and proposes to conduct it himself. The good already effected will not, however, be lost; a spirit of inquiry has been excited, and no one can venture to say where it will end. Under the auspices ot Mr. Brewer, it was ever fore most in pointing out errors in conduct, and in stirring up its readers to every benevolent or public-spirited urtdertaking, and much of this spirit, we may hope, will descend to his successor." Like other cities of the East, Smyrna was subject to frequent visitations of pestilence — the cholera or the plague. In these times of terror and dismay, when all who could fled from the city, Mr. Brewer showed himself a true soldier, who did not desert his post at the moment of danger. Rather did he consider that such public calamities gave the wider opportunity for relieving distress and doing good. Filling his pockets with medicines, and taking with him his young brother-in-law, whom we shall have occasion to mention hereafter, who carried with him also medicine and food, day after day he explored the almost deserted streets, seek ing those who had been suddenly smitten with cholera and had lain down to suffer and perhaps to die. Thousands perished, but of those who were saved there were many who owed their lives to the courage of that Christian missionary. In the work of Com modore De Kay, to which we have referred, he speaks thus of the heroic devotion shown in these terrible scenes: "The efforts of the physicians at Smyrna during the fearful season of cholera were nobly seconded by many of the foreign missionaries. Among these I heard the labors of Mr. Brewer everywhere spoken of in terms of admiration. Furnished with all the requisite remedies, he scoured every lane and alley, pro- FIELD GENEALOGY. 417 claiming his benevolent intentions, and distributing even food to the needy. Let history, when it repeats the story of the good Bishop of Marseilles — who, after all, was merely a soldier at his post — also record the benevolence and the proud contempt of danger and of death evinced by an American stranger within the pestilential walls of Smyrna." But these acts of courage and devotion were not to be long continued, and these schools so full of promise were to come to an end. Owing to some difficulty in securing adequate support for a mission which was independent of all the regular boards, Mr. Brewer was finally obliged to relinquish the field, though to this day his memory is gratefully cherished in the city which was the scene of his former labors. He retumed to America in 1838, and spent the remainder of his life in this country. For three years he was chaplain of the State Prison at Wethersfield, Conn. In 1844 he removed to New Haven, and established a school for young ladies, known as the Elm Street Female Seminary, which he conducted successfully for six years. In 1850 he removed to Middletown, where he had a similar school for seven years. Dur ing all these years he was active with his pen. In 1851 he pub lished a volume on "The Seven Churches of Asia," the fruit chiefly of his personal observations, as he had visited the sites of all of them, except Thyatira, during his residence in the East. He was always a strong anti-slavery man, and edited one or two local anti-slavery papers. He was one of the founders of the American Missionary' Association in 1846, and was a member of its executive committee for seventeen years. He attended two political conventions at Pittsburg— one which nominated John P. Hale for the presidency, and the other John C. Fremont In 1857 he retumed to Stockbridge, near the place of his birth, to spend the rest of his days. For nine years — till 1866 — he was the acting pastor of the church at Housatonic. He died, Nov. 19, 1872. His wife had died nearly eleven years before — Dec. 16, 1861. Mr. and Mrs. Brewer had seven children: Henrietta Whitney. born Jan. 20, 1831; Fisk Parsons, bom Oct. 19, 1832; Emilia Field, bom Sept. 29, 1834; David Josiah, born June 20, 1837; Marshall Bidwell, born Jan. 28, 1840: Mary Adele, bom Nov. 21, 1842; Elizabeth Hale, bom Dec. 1, 1847. Henrietta W. Brewer was married to Lawson Bennet Bidwell, of Stockbridge, Nov. 18, 1857. He is an engineer, and has been engaged for many years in the construction of raUroads. He is now engineer-in-chief of the New York & New England Rail road They have three children: Lawson Brewer Bidwell, born Nov. 19, 1858, graduated at Trinity CoUege, in 1880; Walter Davidson Bidwell, born Aug. 13, i860, graduated at Williams College, in 1881; and Alice, bom March 8, 1877. Fisk P.Brewerwas g^raduated at Yale College in 1852, and has been chiefly engaged in teaching. He was a tutor at Beloit Col lege one year, and at Yale three years, and then spent a year abroad, most of it in the East studying Greek at Athens, visiting also Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Constantinople, and returning through France and Germany. After his retum to America in 418 FIELD GENEALOGY. 1859, he taught in New Haven, assisting for over a year in the Sheffield Scientific School. For twelve years — from 1865 to 1877 — he lived at the South, engaged in the work of education, four years of which were spent in Raleigh, N. C. ; four years at Chapel Hill, as professor of Greek in the State University ; and four years at Columbia, S. C, as professor in the University of that State. Since 1877 he has been professor of Greek in Iowa College at Grin nell, Iowa. His chief studies have been in Greek, ancient and modern, and on ancient coins. He has preached occasionaUy, having been licensed in i85g. From 1871 to 1873 he was United States consul at the Piraeus, Greece. He married at New Haven, Aug. 24, 1859, Miss Julia M. Richards, daughter of a missionary at the Sandwich Islands. They have had eight children, of whom six are living: Edwin Marshall, bom AprU 12, 1861, died Dec. 2, 1862; Helen Richards, born Aug. 14, 1862; Mary EmUia, born Dec. 3, 1863 ; Grace Lyman, bom Oct. 7, 1865 ; Lily Field, bom March ig, 1868; William Fisk, born Aug. 26, 1870; Albert David, born May 10, 1874, and Charles, bom April 27, 1877, died July 2g, 1878. David J. Brewer* was graduated at Yale College in 1856 ; studied law with his uncle, David Dudley Field, of New York, and upon his admission to the bar removed to Kansas, and has since re sided at Leavenworth, in that State. In November, 1862, he was elected Judge of the Probate and Criminal Court of Leavenworth county; two years later, November, i8fl6, of the District Court first district; four years after that, November, 1870, the attorney of Leavenworth county. In November, 1870, he was elected Judge of the Supreme Court of the State, and in 1876 he was reelected for a second term, a position which he now holds. Be sides his judicial duties he has taken great interest in the cause of education, having been president of the Board of Education of Leavenworth city, and three years superintendent of its public schools, and also president of the Educational Association of the State. He was married Oct 3, 1861, to Miss Louise R. Landon, of Burlington, Vt. They have four children: Harriet EmUia, born July 21, 1862; Etta Louise, born Dec. 2, 1864; Fanny Adele, born Aug. 26, 1870; Jeanie Elizabeth, born Feb. 16, 1875. Marshall B.

He was named, from two of his uncles, Timothy Beals. He was a bright, active boy, always about the wharves, and on the sloops and schooners that lay in the Connecticut river, with dreams in his childish imagination of the time when he should be a man, and might go oft roving on the deep. It was doubtless from this contact with seafaring men that he caught a passion for the sea, that would not be satisfied till at the age of fifteen, after the removal to Stockbridge, a commission as midshipman in the navy was obtained for him through the infiuence of Henry W. Dwight, a distinguished member of Congress. This was in 1824, and in the winter following he was ordered tothe navyyard at Charlestown, where he spent a year, leaming the duties of his profession. He then sailed for the Mediterranean in the United States ship Warren, Captain Kearney. The East was then the scene of stirring events occasioned by the Greek revolution. The Warren visited Scio soon after the massacre, which almost depopulated the island. Commodore Glasson, who was then a brother officer on board, says that at the time of the battle of Navarino they were so near the scene of action as to hear the firing of the guns. But the work which chiefly enlisted the ardor of the young officers and crew, was the pursuit of Greek pirates in the archi pelago. The Mediterranean had been, to the shame of Europe, infested for centuries with pirates, whose stronghold was on the Barbary coast. So secure had they become that they were not only defiant of the navies of Europe, but even strong powers stooped so low as to pay them tribute, that their commerce might be spared from depredation. This shameful state of things was not checked till i8i6,when an English fleet, under Lord Exmouth, bombarded Algiers, and laid a large part of the city in ruins. The work was completed by the French in 1830, when the city was captured, and the country made a province of France. 420 FIELD GENEALOGY. Further up the Mediterranean there was a portion of the sea which lay in the track of ships going to and fro, which was in fested with Greek pirates. The Greeks are natural sailors, skim ming the sea, which almost surrounds their country, with their boats and small vessels. And as in times of war and revolution there is a spirit of lawlessness abroad, the sea-rovers easily turned into corsairs, and from being privateers sent to fight against the Turks, they fell to preying on the commerce of all nations. It was no easy matter to ferret them out, for they were easily concealed among the numerous islands. The Warren, which was a sloop of war, being light and swift, was detailed for that purpose. I remember, when a boy, hearing my brother, who had lately returned from the East, relate one of his advent ures. The freebooters had soon discovered the presence of an armed ship, which it might not be so easy to scuttle and sink, and kept out of her way. Weary of waiting for them to come out of their hiding places, the Warren withdrew to a port where she was completely disguised. Her sides were painted over to con ceal her port-holes, ana every means known||to seamen used to disguise her true character. Thus completely masked, she took her course once more among the islands, having all the appear ance of a heavy-laden merchantman bound for Smyrna. Scarcely had she passed a certain point when a suspicious vessel putjout in her wake, and commenced pursuit. As if fearing capture, the Warren crowded all sail to make her escape, but at the same time heavy weights were hung over the bow to check her progress. The pirate gained rapidly, till she came so near as to be almost ready to board, when in an instant the port-holes flew open, the guns were run out, and the innocent merchantman poured in such a deadly broadside that in a few minutes the pirate, vrith all on board, went to the bottom.* From the Warren the young midshipman was transferred to the frigate Java. After four, years he returned to the United ?Commodore Glasson says that his shipmate Field was often picked out for adventurous expeditions in hunting the pirates out of their hiding places along the coast. A recent note from him gives some details which are interesting. He says: "Midshipman Timothy B. Field was ordered, in 1826, to the U. S. sloop-o£-war Warren, Commander Lawrence Kearney, on a cruise of three years to the Mediterranean. On his arrival at Port Mahon, Majorca, she was dispatched to the archipelago to give protection to our com merce, as a war was raging in Greece, to free itself from the Ottoman yoke. The island of Scio had recently been invaded by a large Turkish force, and 40,000 of its inhabitants— men, women and children — massacred. The Greek cause produced a great excitement in the United States. The most prominent of its advocates was Mr. Webster. On the part of England Lord Byron went himself to Greece, where he died in 1824, in the fortified town of Missolonghi. But the Greeks, like all other people engaged in civil war, became lamentably demoralized. For while in the United States we were pleading their cause, and giving succor, our commerce in that part of the world was suffering from their piratical attacks. They openly, at midday, in sight of their towns, plundered our vessels on their way from Smyrna to the United States. "Commander Kearney had had command of the brig Enterprise and ship Decoy in the West Indies, and been famous for his efficiency in the suppression of piracy. Hehad in the War ren first-class officers and men; and among the young officers Field was always noted for his conspicuous activity and gallantry in all the boat expeditions when an assault or seizure of stolen property was to be made. "Tim, as he was always called by his brother officers, was very amiable, and had sterling qualities of head and heart. JOHN J. GLASSON, J Commodore U. S. Navy." FIELD GENEALOGY. 421 States; and in July, 1831, resigned his commission, though he was recognized by all who knew him as a brilliant and promising young officer. Capt. William L. Hudson, of the navy, in a letter to the writer of this brief memorial, says: "It aftords me very great pleasure to say that your brother Timothy was a midship man and shipmate of mine some three j'ears in the Mediterra nean, in the United States ship Warren, then under command of the present Commodores Kearney .and Skinner. I have unfortu nately lost my journals of that interesting cruise by shipwreck, or I could have fumished you with many recorded anecdotes of your brother Tim Field, as he was familiarly called by his mess mates. Suffice it to say he was exceedingly "clever," in the Eng lish acceptation of that term, and the very life and soul of the ship. He was brave to a fault, and always ready to do 'with a • will' any duty assigned him. I looked upon him at that time as an officer of great promise, and well calculated to eam a name and reputation that would have been no less gratifying to the navy than to his family and friends." After leaving the navy, he made a voyage around the world in a merchant ship. He returned in 1836, and soon embarked again for South America, and is supposed to have been lost in the gulf of Mexico. A mon ument was erected to his memory by his brothers, in the village cemetery at Stockbridge. 2074. X. STEPHEN JOHNSON, b. July II, 1815; d. Dec. 2, 1815. 1006. REV.

On the recommendation of President Dwight, he was invited to Canandaigua, N. Y. , then a small town, where a church had recently been organized ot eighteen members. He was installed pastor, Feb. 27, 1800, and was dismissed at his own request about June, 1805. Jan. 30, 1807, he was settled in the west parish at Westminster, Vt, where he remained the pastor twenty-eight years, till 1835. His ministry there was eminently successful and useful. Though the parish was not a large one, he received into the church 375 persons. After his dismission, he continued for a few years to live among the people, by whom he was greatly respected and beloved. In 1830 he was a member of the Constitutional Convention of the State of Vermont. The serene and cheerful character of his piety is well indicated in a sentence or two from a letter, written after his death by the minister who succeeded him as pastor of the church at Westminster. It was addressed to his son: "I need not tell 422 FIELD GENEALOGY. you that I feel the loss of your father very much. 1 can mourn with you, for he was a father to me. While he lived, I always knew where I could spend an hour happily and profitably. His cheerful countenance has often made me glad. There could be no melancholy where he was. I enjoyed his society much, and hope long to remember his instructions and profit by his example. During the last year of his life, he had often spoken to me of his departure from the world. He viewed death as near. It seemed to be a pleasure to him to think of it, and his counte nance glowed with joy while he conversed about heaven. ' ' He could take a joke and give one. He once went to the polls to vote for State officers, when an opponent expressed his surprise at seeing the minister at such a place, remarking that he supposed Mr. Field's interest was in that "kingdom which is not of this world." Mr. Field quickly replied: "Can't a man vote without he belongs to the kingdom ot Satan?" Several interesting stories connected with Mr. Field and his ministry have become traditional among us. One of them has reference to his installation in January, 1807. Such an event was made much of in those days. The council met in the house of Deacon Ramsey in the afternoon of the 20th, and the installation services were on the 21st. In the evening there was what has always been called the "ordination ball." It came off in the hotel, kept then by Ebenezer Goodhue, near the present residence of Mrs. G. W. Chandler. The large two-story building has now disappeared, and the spot is overgrown with tangled briars and brosh- wood. The hotel keeper was the son of Rev. Josiah Goodhue, the first settled min ister of Putney, and he was afterward an honored deacon of the church ; his son, Josiah T., afterward for many years pastor of churches in Williston and Shoreham, managed the bar ; another young man, who became also a minister, furnished the music or a part of it, and Calvin Hitchcock, who entered the ministry and received the degree of D.D., was chief among the dancers. Dr. Hitchcock, in after years, used to tell the story with great hilarity, as illustrative of the times. He said that Mr. Field was installed with plenty of liquor and a grand ordination ball ; that it was held in the tavern of a deacon ; that a minister dealt out the toddy ; that a sec ond minister scraped the fiddle, and that a doctor of divinity led the dance. It may be remarked that none of them were such at the time, that it is not stated the mem bers of the council or even any of the church people were present; but the fact that a ball came oft at that time and was called the ordination ball serves to show that public sentiment was not then what it became at a later time. The number of the church members was small, not much exceeding fifty. But the population of the parish was large, and as nearly all attended church in those days, the congregation was doubtless larger than can be found to-day at any church in the county. A list of pew holders is in evidence now, containing 100 names. As families were larger, it is believed that audiences of four or five hun dred were often present. Mr. Field was not a great orator, but he was regarded as a faithful and acceptable preacher. His sermons were considered short, as they were for those days, plain, often spicy. Mr. Field secured the aftection and good-will of his people and his work among them was greatly blessed for twenty-eight years. Remarkable revivals occurred on four occasions, by which 225 persons were brought into the church upon confes sion, g3 joining at one time in 1824. Directly after that his church was presumably the largest in New England. During his ministry and under his direction the Sunday-school was started and grew strong; a missionary society was organized, such as is not found in other churches in the vicinity, and has been continued to the present time ; and a tem perance movement was entered upon, but not upon a total -abstinence platform FIELD GENEALOGY. 423 2076. ii. 2077. 111. 2078. iv. 207g.

At least three printed sermons of Mr. Field's are in existence ; two of them were preached forenoon and afternoon of Nov. 7, 1824, the day of the great reception of members, and the other at the dedication of the new church, Nov. 12, i82g, which replaced the former building, burned just ten months before. After retiring from the ministry on Jan. i, 1865, Mr. Field continued to reside in his large mansion south of the church. His mental powers and his last days were clouded. He died at the age of seventy, and his remains rest in the ceme tery hard by the church which stands upon the ancient lot With the open win dows of summer, the preacher's voice could be easily heard where they lie.

His father dying when he was but seven years old, he was brought up in the family of Gen. Philetas Swift, of Revolutionary fame. He leamed the miUing business in Rochester, and carried it on in Elba MUls, N. Y. He removed to Milwaukee in 1844, thence to Racine county, where he resided until 1861, when he was appointed register of the United States land office, at St Croix Falls, which office he held for twenty-six years. On his retirement he purchased a residence in Taylor's Falls. During his long and eventful life, he held many offices of trust ; captain of militia, commissioner for removing the Oneidas, member of the board of education, city treasurer of Racine, and register of the land office, in all which he showed his great honesty. The St Croix Falls paper said: "For a number of years he was a resident of Racine, this state. He came to St Croix Falls in 1861, receiving the appointment of register of the United States land office from the Lincoln administration and retained his office for more than twenty-five years,|until the Cleveland administration came into power. — Mr. Field was a man of strong convictions and not adverse to giving them expression — he was scrupulously honest in all his dealings — both in pri- 424 FIELD GENEALOGY. vate and official life he was above reproach. One son, Hon. Norton J. Field, three daughters; one the wife of ex-Senator Nason, of this vUlage, the Misses Phebe and Mary, who reside in New York, and his second wife, survive him.

MARY CLARISSA, b. Nov. 25, 1848. The career of Miss Mary C. Field, who is in charge of the drawing department of the state schools at Trenton, N. J., presents some interesting features. Her activity in her chosen field has been attended with valuable services which have given her a prestige which she now enjoys among her co-workers. Her school work began at Long Branch, where she was the first person to systematize the work in art and where she first attracted attention as a teacher of drawing for the marked artistic feeling she imparted to her pupils. As an instructor she has also a clear understanding of the relation of drawing, not only to the higher phases of art, but also to the industries. The students taking work under her are not disap pointed when they undertake its application in architecture, mechanical or illustrative drawing. She is successful not only in holding her pupils to work, but in cultivating a taste and love for the work itself. In fact, her power in discipline is the outgrowth of the latter, largely. Under her instruction not only have all the students reached a good degree of intelligence and executive power in drawing, but a large number have become speciaUsts. Miss Field was among the first in this country to introduce color in the primary work, and remarkable results have been gained in the attempts of the children to represent some of the simpler flowers — painting, ot course, from nature. This course of paint ing in the primary grades has established the fact that the color- sense is stronger in proportion with the little children than with older students. She has been a valuable factor at teachers' institutes and conventions in presenting methods, suggestions and aids in art education. Miss Field is a native of Wiscoll^i^. She was born at Racine. 2086%. vi. JAMES, b. June 2, 1837; d. Oct 16, 1837. FIELD GENEALOGY. 425 2ogo. 1. 2ogi. 11. 20g2. iii. 2og3. IV. I02I.

Jan. 12, i8ig, Sophronia, dau. of Capt. Isaac and Jerusha (Bowen) Gilbert, of Cavendish, Vt., b. Oct. 26, 1799; ^• Aug. 17, 1863. Alfred was the son who remained at home and on whom the care of his parents and younger sisters devolved. He made a journey to Massachusetts and Connecticut in youth, and took, at one time, the contract to clear of lumber a large tract of land at Adams, Jefferson county, N. Y., where his brother, Amos Field, lived, by which he also cleared quite a large sum of money ; which was essential to him at that time. He married, in 1819, the fair, sensible daughter of Capt Isaac and Jerusha (Bowen) Gilbert, of Cavendish, Vt., whose fame had reached him, and gallantly set forth in search of her. Finding that she who awakened his interest, unseen, evoked his admiration and love on becoming acquainted, he happily won her for his wife. It was universally conceded that it had been a fortunate day FIELD GENEALOGY. 429 2147. 1. 2148. ii. 2149. iii. 2150. IV. for both when they met and loved each other; especially perhaps had it been for tunate for Mr. Field, who was of a sensitive and ambitious temperment, inclined to take life too seriously and too hopelessly, the attitude of a mind that has thought acutely without the advantages of attrition with other minds, and has been too full ot care. His wife, on the other hand, was just twenty-two years of age, a young woman accustomed to the execution of affairs, of decisive habits of thought, of great humor and amiability. She brought with her a freedom of thought, a sanguine out look upon life, and expectation of success. A notable woman in any age, but especi ally so in those days of melancholy religious dogmatism and limited intelligence. It is refreshing to know that out of the shadows of that time she should have been named Sophronia, and have had a sister Clorinda, and another Diana, and a brother Oliver, names gleaned from the enchanting pages of Latin and Mediaeval romance. Her character and perfect health were tonic, and made the farmhouse an enticing spot to all the friends and cousins, while her thrift and industry matched her husband's. Four children came to bless them, and to blend to an uncommon degree in the record of four lives those admirable characteristics that met m their father and mother. Res. Dorset, Vt. FREDERICK, b.

SPAFFORD FIELD (Amos, Bennett, John, Zechariah, Zechariah, John, John, Richard, WiUiam, William), son of Amos and Zeoriah (Baldwin), b. in Dorset, Vt., March 28, 1789.

May 18, 1874. Spafford Field was born in Dorset, on the old Field place, and while a young man became interested in the marble business. The Dorset quarries were first opened in 1785, and soon an extensive business in this line was built up. The early quarry- men labored under great disadvantages, for the want of proper machinery to saw the marble. The first attempt at sawing was made by Spafford Field, about 1818. He put in operation a gang of saws, on the site occupied by Major Hawley's mills, in South Dorset. This first mill was constructed in accordance with the best know ledge then possessed on the subject, but it could saw but very little marble. How ever, soon after great improvements were made. In 1829 he moved to Weedsport. Mr. Field was married when he was twenty-one years of age to Sarah Cushman Collins, who was seventeen years of age. Early in the twenties they moved from Dorset, Vt, with their five children, to Brutus — now Weedsport — New York. Two children were born there. In 1829 they went to Albion, where they lived perma nently. Two children were born here. Mr. Field died there, December, 1869, aged eighty years. Coming to a new country, as he did, without a fortune and a large family of children to educate, he used in the early days to occasionally have the "Field blues." Although there was a seminary and an academy there after his coming, all but the youngest child were sent away to school. As he advanced in years he overcame this, and lived a very happy old age with his children, grand children and three great-grandchildren near him. He had a remarkably amiable disposition ; was a lovely Christian gentleman. One man, a lawyer, told a friend after his death, that he "would be a happy man could he be so sure of heaven as he was sure that Mr. Field was there." "He never had an enemy," one said. He was an upright, industrious man, an exemplary Christian, and was rewarded for his 430 FIELD GENEALOGY. industry by a competence for his declining years, and by the esteem of all his acquaintances.

He descended from ancestors who were noted for physical vigor, intelligence and moral worth. His grandfather, Jabez Warren, was a soldier of the Revolution. He lived in Massachusetts, near Lexington, and was working at his trade as a shoemaker when he heard the British were coming to attack the place. He left his bench, and having no gun, took his scythe from the snath and hastened to the field of conflict The British soldiers had retired from the scene before he arrived, but meeting two women who were fleeing, they told ' him that a number of soldier were plun dering their house ; he went with them and approached the back part of the house without being observed, and resorting to the strategy that Ethan Allen used at a later date, he called out in a loud voice "halt," and then commanded his imaginary soldiers to surround the house and make prisoners of the men within. As the frightened soldiers were escaping from the front door and windows, he broke in the back door and succeeded in wounding one of the soldiers with the scythe. Mr. Warren's grandfather, on his mother's side. Colonel Weber, of Walpole, N. H., was also a soldier in the Revolutionary army. Mr. Warren spent the days of his youth in the place of his birth ; then lived in Vermont whence he went to Rome, N. Y., where he engaged in the pot- FIELD GENEALOGY. 433 tery business. Here he united with the Christian church, in which, when he was twenty-three years old, he was ordained to the work of the ministry. He preached for a number of years in Courtland county, N. Y. ; at Solon, South Virgil, Marathon, and other places. He then moved to Jefferson county, N. Y.. and in 1836 married Eliza Field, daughter of Rev. L. Field, There were bom to them four children — two sons and two daughters. One of the sons enlisted when eighteen j'ears of age and became a cap tain in the Union army, serving four years and a half. He sur vived the war and died in 1872. The other son became a leading citizen of South Dakota, where he lived for many years, and died in i8g4. The two daughters were still living, with one of whom, Mrs. Smith, the deceased spent the last years of his life. His wife died in 1874 while he was living and preaching in Jefferson county, N. Y. He came to Humboldt, Iowa, in 1882, where he lived a quiet, retired and useful life. He was an able and suc cessful preacher who kept himself in touch with all the great moral questions which have claimed public attention for the past half century. He was an active member of the Liberty party as early as 1844, and fought the battle of freedom till victory was won. He early espoused the cause of just civil government. He would no sooner have voted for a man in favor of licensing the saloon than he would for one in favor of licensing highway rob bery or murder. He was also an earnest friend of equal suffrage. Since coming to Humboldt he had been a steady attendant of the Congregational church of that place, and had on several occasions been invited to fill the pulpit in the pastor's absence. He retained his vigor of body and mind in a marked degree to the very last He conversed with his daughter not more than ten minutes be fore he died. He requested that the services be held at the house, and that they should be conducted by Rev. S. H. Taft, of Unity church, and Rev. Marsh, of the Congregational church. Mr. Taft and Mr. Warren had been intimate friends for many years, having been associated together in religious work in the East more than forty years before. He was b. Hanover, N.

Y., to Humboldt county, going there in October, 1881, where he has lived since, an honored citizen of the town and county. With John B. Smith, still a resident there, he for several years was one of the company of Smith & Smith, and at his death was the senior member of the firm of C. S. Smith & Co., one of the most enterprising business firms of the city. Mr. Smith has been a member of the Municipal Board of Humboldt, having in i8g8 434 FIELD GENEALOGY. closed a term as mayor.

His death was caused by Bright's disease. The history of Mr. Pardridge's sixty years has few paraUels. He wap a man of the clearest percep tions, and his strong convictions and the nerve with which he backed them made him a marked man. Since i86g he has been a FIELD GENEALOGY. 441 familiar figure in local commercial circles, and for the last ten years, during which he has devoted himself almost exclusively to speculation, his name and fame were worldwide. Probably no man, as merchant and operator, had been called upon in the west to meet such odds and face such opposition, and those who knew him are agreed as to his business acumen, courage, commonsense and kindliness of heart. He received a district school education, clerked in a village store, and then went to Lyons where he worked in a general merchandise store for five years. From this time till i86g he was in the drygoods business in Buffalo with his brother, Chas. W. Pardridge. This was the stock of experience he had when he came to Chicago and started a store at Lake and State streets. He came here, he said, for a larger field of opera tions than he had had, and in the conduct of his store he showed the same discriminating judgment and mastery of details as ap plied to the buying and selling of goods that later applied to his grain operations on the Board of Trade. He was bumed out in 1 87 1. His store was then on Wabash avenue. In the new Chicago he located at 112-116 State street, where he had interest till Feb. 15 last. At that time he closed out his Chicago store and sent thp goods to a branch establishment. At the time of his death he had drygoods stores in New York, Buffalo and Detroit. These were the last survivals of many stores started and operated before Mr. Pardridge largely abandoned trade for speculation. — Chicago Tribune.] Ch. : (a) Blanche, b. July 7, 1862; m.

She was b. ih Philadelphia, but Uved in her early years in Buffalo. She had resided in Chicago over thirty years. She gave in charity, unostentatiously and pri vately, always bestowing her gifts after personal investigation. She worshiped at Christ Reformed Episcopal church. Charles W. Pardridge was born in Oneida county, N. Y. , where he was educated at the public schools, receiving the best the schools at that time afforded. The foundation of his fortune was laid in the drygoods business. He first secured an insight into this line of trade in a candy store in Lyons, N. Y. , where he remained tor three years. Later he was in business in Pittsburgh, Pa , in the same line of trade for two years, moving thence to Buffalo, N. Y., where, with his brother, Edwin, under the firm name of C. W. & E. Pardridge they conducted an extensive dry goods business. At the end of ten years, having outgrown the business of that city, they decided to come west, and located in Chicago in 442 FIELD GENEALOGY. i86g. Securing a location in the old opera house building on State street, near Lake, they conducted an extensive and rapidly grow ing business until the great fire of 1872, when the building and stock were entirely destroyed. At once securing a new location at 112-116 State street, he erected the building, still standing on this site, and conducted the Boston Store and Union Store. With his close attention to business, excellent judgment and good real estate investments, he soon accumulated a handsome . property. Of late years he has retired from the active dry goods business, though having been until recently the senior owner of the Boston Store, Pardridge & Netcher. He is now senior member of the firm of Pardridge & Hillman on State street. He devotes his time looking after his real estate investments, which are very extensive. He is considered many times a millionaire and re sides ih an elegant home at 3200 Michigan avenue. He is quiet and unassuming and much averse to any publicity. Ch. : (a) Charles Anson, b. ; m.

The following obituary notice is taken from an Adrian paper: "Death of an old and esteemed resident. Died at Kenosha, Wis., while on a business visit, James Field, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. In the death of Mr. Field, Adrian has lost another of those who were among the earliest settlers of the county, and one of the most per severing, energetic men who have ever done business here. He has been for many years, we believe, the general agent of the Northwestern Transportation Company; an employment which necessarily required most of his time away from home, which would have constrained most men of his age to withdraw from business, but the energy of his youth was not at all abated by age, and he therefore literally died with his harness on. In all his business relations he has uniformly sustained the reputation of an honorable, upright Christian." He m. at Palmyra, N.

This was evident on the day of his funeral. Such a concourse of people as crowded the church, aisles, vestibule and steps is not often seen on a secular day. It was a spontaneous tribute of respect to the business capacity and moral worth of the deceased. He was free from the vices which degrade and curse many young men. He was thoughtful and studious, and had a mind of won derful grasp and comprehension. This writer often conversed with him on questions of profound interest, and was surprised to find him so thoroughly acquainted with the various subjects under consideration. About four years since, under the pastorate of the Rev. Z. N. Lewis, the deceased professed faith in Christ and united with the Methodist Episcopal church in this village, since which time till his death, which occurred on Monday, Sept. 15, he has been known as a quiet, consistent, earnest follower ot the Lord Jesus. He was also very efficient and useful in the Sunday-school, being both secretary and treasurer at the time of his death. He was united in marriage to Miss Fannie C, daughter of Rev. J. Millard, Oct. 23, 1872, who now mourns her irreparable loss. Of their uncommon devotion to each other I may not now speak. Family worship was maintained till within two or three days ot their separation. His-father in-law says ot him, "I never knew a more perfect character." Newton Keeler died as he lived. A few hours before death his father asked "How does it look on the other side?" He answered, "Beautiful, glorious, heavenly." Then pausing to rest, he sang : ^ " 'Tis a heaven below My Redeemer to know, And the angels can do nothing more Than to tall at his feet. And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore." —Catskill, N. Y., Paper. 2431. in. JOHN, b. Jan. 13. 1832; m. Mary Jane Field. 1191.

In a few words, he lived for his home, his Church, the schools and his native town, never missing a town meeting, if it were possible for him to be there. He was a good farmer for those times. He was a selectman of Northfield in 1818, i8ig and 1820; a Representative to the Legislature in 1833. He carried on an extensive farm, and was also a good carpenter. He was a stem but just man, fond of his family, and desirous of giving his children a good education.

JUDGE BOHAN PRENTICE FIELD (Ebenezer, Ebenezer, Ebenezer, Samuel, Zechariah, John, John, Richard, William, William), son of Ebenezer and Eunice (Wright), b. in Northfield, Mass., May 23, 1773; graduated at Dartmouth College in I7g5. He commenced the study of law in Portsmouth, N. H., and afterward entered the office of Hon. Samuel Dana, of Amherst, N. H., where he finished his studies preparatory to being admitted to the bar. After being admitted to the bar in New Hampshire, he removed in I7g8 to North Yarmouth, Me., being the first lawyer to settle in that place. In i7g9 he removed to Belfast, Me., and became the pioneer of his profession in that town, which was then in Hancock county, and in 1800 contained but 674 inhabitants, and in i860 contained 5, 520. Mr. Field lived through the period of its growth from its humble beg^inning, forty-four years. On the organization of the county of Waldo in 1827, he was appointed by Governor Lincoln, chief justice of the Court of Sessions for the county, which was a surprise to him, as they were political opponents. He con tinued to discharge the duties of the office for the term of ten years with industry and to the satisfaction of the county. He was a well read lawyer and his opinions were regarded as good authority and entitled to great weight. He rarely appeared as an advocate but when he found it necessary or expedient to address a jury he did it with force and clearness, without any display of rhetoric, arguing for the cause and not for outside eftect. He was valued in the community where he lived for his general intelligence, soundness of judgment and integrity of character. He d. March 13, 1843. The following tribute to his memory is from the pen of Hon. Mr. Williamson, of Belfast. Speaking of Mr. Field as a magistrate and referee, in which capacity he was often employed, he says: "No man entered on the investi gation of the rights of parties freeer from passion and prejudice, and no man exer cised a sounder judgment. Hence his decisions were uniformly correct and satis factory. Such was his known integrity of character and singleness of purpose, that he received a thousand unsought tokens of public favor and confidence. Few men ever died more highly esteemed by all who knew him." He m, Oct. 23, 1807, Abigail, dau. of Benjamin and Mary (Mann) Davis, of Bilerica, Mass., b. Oct. 23, 1787; d.

Of the large family of Edward Field and their wives, all are believed to be dead except Mrs. Amelia Field, wife of Henry B. Field, who is now seventy-five years old, and lives with her son, Nelson Field, in Stow township. Summit county, Ohio. The family is scattered over the United States, from Massachusetts to Oregon. Austin and Edward settled in Mich igan. Hannah, Obed and Henry settled in Summit county, Ohio, and nearly all their descendants live near there. Nancy lived at Wesley ville. Pa., and Dexter moved to Colorado. Chester's and Noah's children live near Summit county. Dexter Field, Jr., lives at Salem, Oregon. The family is one of strong vitality and muscular endurance. Nearly all have been tillers of the soil. In connection with their agricultural pursuits they carry on some auxUiary work, such as milling, car pentering, teaching school and the like. Genius, industry and firmness of will power are inherent qualities and crop out all along the line. It seems to be a family trait to want to "build a home" from the digging of the cellar drain to the final strokes of the paint brush. Several of their homes have been thus built, and a great many buildings in Summit and Medina counties of Ohio bear the Field "trade mark," i. e., the impress of the saw and hammer. He d.

He traveled extensively in the South ern States in 1830, and was advised by a friend in Savannah, Ga., on account of his anti-slavery principles, not to let the people know he was from Massachusetts, fearing he might be ill-treated. Mr. Field replied: "I shall never deny the place of my nativity." When calling upon a planter for entertainment, on being asked where he was from, he replied, "From Massachusetts, sir," and was always well entertained. He served two years on the Christian and Sanitary Commission at the front during the great Rebellion of 1861-64, and was deputed to examine those that applied for assistance to prevent fraud in procuring help.

Nov. 22, 1802; d. April 13, 1894. Abel Wakelee Field was born in Bennington, Vt. He was the youngest of a family of ten children, of Francis and Naomi (Wakelee) Field. His surviving family know but little of his early life, except that he received a good common school education. He married Zilpha Witter, eldest daughter of Elijah Witter, in the town of Gorham, Ontario county, N. Y., Dec. 13, 1826. To them three children were born, Archelaus G., Orestes G. and James W. His occupation was that of operator in the carding department of a woolen mill, in the meantime pursuing the study of medicine, with the aid of such books and helps as he could command. In the year 1838 he removed from Gorham, where he owned a small home, with one acre of land, to Cataraugus county. New York, and from there by way of raft on the Conewarigo and Ohio rivers to Ohio, where he settled in Darby Plaines, and afterward in Amity, Madison county, in 1842, where he continued in a fairly lucrative practice, until the time of his death, Aug. 2, 1851. His death was tragic, having been accidentally (as is supposed) thrown from his sulky at night on returning from a professional visit He made no open profession of religion ; was a Democrat in politics; was of social disposition, and had the esteem and respect of the community where he lived.

ORRIN FIELD (Elisha, Elisha, Joseph, Joseph, Zechariah, John, John, Richard, William, William), son of Elisha and Ruth (Kirkham), b. in Cornwall, Vt, June 12, I7g2; d. March 16, 1882. He was one of the leading men in town, holding various town offices. He was also a military man, rising to the rank of major, when he resigned. He held the office of justice of the peace for forty-six years, and in 1880 was still in commission. He was a member of the Congrega tional church, in Cornwall, over fifty years ; said he had trodden some crooked paths, that were he to live his life over again he would try to straighten. He represented the town of Cornwall in the legislature in the years 1856-57. He was in the battle of Plattsburg, N. Y., Sept. 11, 18 14, starting from Cornwall upon an hour's notice. Many of the men were without money for expenses ; he fortunately had about $25, which he shared with his associates. He received a pension, and said the back pay and what he had received amounted to about what he spent with compound interest, and it was very acceptable in his old age. But three of the company were living and in receipt of pensions in 1880. He attended the Centen nial celebration of the battle of Bennington, Aug. 16, 1877, where his grandfather and father participated. He m.

The obituary notice was as follows: "Another of the aged and esteemed citizens of Cornwall passed from this to another world, on March i6th: Major Orrin Field, bom June i2, 1792; and it seems but fitting that when one who has reached such advanced age, and who has ever taken so much 496 FIELD GENEALOGY. interest in the affairs of the town in which he lived lies down to his eternal rest, a word should be spoken in his memory. In the death of Major Field his family has lost a loving husband and an affectionate father, the church another of its aged mem ¦ bers, and the community a good neighbor and a faithful citizen. Always quiet and unobtrusive in his manner, a man of gentleness and of few words, still he was one whose influence for good was widely felt, because of his good judgment. He has ever felt a deep interest in the good of his town, and has often in the course of his long life been called to fill offices of trust by his fellow citizens. He has held the office of justice of the peace for forty-eight years, which office he held at the time of his death. It is seldom one sees a person so old as he was whose mental faculties retain so much of their youthful vigor as did his. His memory extended over a period of about eighty-seven years. He was remarkable for the cheerfulness of his disposition. Almost to the day of his death he was hardly willing to admit that he was gjrowing old, or at least he would say that he did not feel much older than he did fifty years ago. He took much pleasure in looking up facts of former days, and for the past few years he has been engaged in studying up the genealogy of the Field family. Had he lived till next June, he intended to have his children all come home to celebrate with him his ninetieth birthday. Major Field was one of those who in the early days went to the call of his country to her defense. He was present at the battle of Plattsburg, and as health permitted he was wont to go on the moming of Decoration Day, and decorate the graves of the Revolutionary soldiers and those of i8i2. He represented his town in the legislature in 1856-57. For years he has made it a practice to keep and publish a list of the deaths in town each year. Much more might be added about his long and useful life if time and space permitted. After a life of usefulness 'he came to his grave in full age, like as a shock of corfi cometh in his season. ' ' ' "Of no distemper, of no blast he died, But fell like autumn fruit that mellowed long. E'en wondered at, because he dropped no sooner, Fate seemed to wind him up for four score years. Yet freshly ran he on ten winters more, Till like a clock worn out with beating time, The wheels of weary life at last stood still." 2805. i. JULIANA, b. Jan. 18, 1816; m. May 11, 1841, Col. John J.

She is a fine, intelligent, grammatical conversationalist ; acquired knowledge and language so easily through her eyes and ears that it rendered her impatient of accurate plodding study, which reveals itself in her case, as in others, behind the pen. Indeed, I do not know whether or not she had the best advant ages educationally considered, but I am sure no one would think otherwise ' to hear her in conversation. She is one of the best of women, whole-souled, vivacious, animated, practical, intelligently acquisitive and appreciative, with finest colloquial powers, but unfortunately she is growing feeble with age, and has entirely too much upon her in boarders, housekeeping, an invalid hus band, who has had a stroke of paralysis, and has suffered also with softening of the brain, to give very much attention to writ ing. She has had a hard lot in this life, which would have crushed others of less fortitude and force of character. Indeed, I believe from what I have seen and known of the Field family, that its members are possessed of an immense indominative will power and unswerving firmness, which largely sustains, supports and comforts under the severe pressure of labor, trials, reverses and afflictions." 2812. viii.

"In the death of Mrs. Lucinda Field Heath, Knox county loses another old settler and a great host of relatives and dear friends lose a loving companion. Her demise occurred at eight o'clock this moming at the home ot her son, William, 1228 East Main street. The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon at two o'clock at the house. The remains will be interred in Hope cem etery beside those of the husband and children. Old age was the cause of the death of Mrs. Field, as the past few years had been for ner remarKably healthy ones. Mrs. Heath was born June 16, 1819, at Cornwall, Addison county, Vt. In 1836 she removed with her parents to Knoxville. There on Aug. 3, 1837, she was united in marriage to William M. Heath, of that village. The marriage is remarkable in the fact that it was the first marriage ceremony performed in Knoxville. She and her husband moved at once upon a farm near Center Point. There she lived for twenty-eight years, when they moved to Wataga. Seven years ago she came to Galesburg with her son and has made her home here ever since. The husband died March 31, 1882. Eight chil dren were born to the couple and only two of them, James, of Chicago, and William, of Galesburg, are living. Two of the children died in infancy, Sidney P., died at Shenandoah, Iowa, twenty years ago, and Mrs. Mary Armstrong died at Center Point in 1874. Another son, Morgan L., who was a soldier in the war for the Union, died at Springfield, III., from wounds received. One brother remains of the family, James D. Field, of Topeka, Kan., and the late Loyal C. Field was at onetime mayor of Galesburg. A sister, Mrs. Fred Sisson, died in Peoria some years ago. Mrs. Heath was of distinguished lineage. She was a grand daughter of Elisha Field, Jr., and the great granddaughter of Elisha Field, Sr. Jeremiah Bingham and Elias De Long were also relatives of the family. All of these men fought through the war of the Revolution, and were in the army commanded by George Washington. By reason of her family connections she became a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She was a member of the Chicago Chapter and was admitted to membership Oct. 7, 1897. Her membership in this patriotic society was the source of very great pleasure to Mrs. Heath and she was very proud of her ancestry. The deceased was a mem ber of the Congregational church at Wataga for many years. She was always prominent in the work of the church and as a neighbor was interested in the welfare of those about her. Dur ing her last sickness Mrs. Heath was surrounded by the imme diate members of the family, and she was given every possible attention. With her was Mrs. Harvey Millen, of Galva, a pro fessional nurse and an old friend of the family. Mrs. Heath had a very wide circle of friends. Her long and continuous residence in Knox county brought her within that circle which numbered its parts by the hundred. She was an original member of the Old Settlers society of the county, and was always interested in its reunions and attended them. Up to the time of her death her mind was particularly active and as she was^a great lover of FIELD GENEALOGY. 499 story telUng never failed to interest an audience with tales of the early days in this country." — Galesburg Newspaper. 2815. ii.

Ciffonette Le-Grass Wilton; m., 2d, Mary Sewall, of Maine. No issue. Pindar Field was born in Sunderland, Mass. He prepared for college with William Ferry, of Ashfield, and Rev. Moses Hallock, of Plainfield, in his native state; entered WiUiams CoUege in 1818, and continued a member of it three years. In September. 1821, when Amherst College was opened, he removed his relation to this institution, and with a classmate and one other individual, formed the first Senior class. It fell to his lot that year to be the first president of the Athenian Society, and to organize the "Theological Society," afterward called the "Society of Inquiry." Mr. Field was also the founder and first superintendent of the first Sabbath school in Amherst After graduation he was a member of Andover Theological Seminary a year and a half, when he was solicited to teach and preach among the Penobscot Indians in Maine. After laboring in this way for some months, he was licensed at Bangor in December, 1824, and continued still longer to preach in the new settlements along the Penobscot river. In July, 1826, he was ordained as an evangelist in Madison, N. Y. ; in 1828 assisted in organizing a Congregational church in Hamilton in the same state, and continued in the ministry there four years. His first permanent settlement was at Oriskany FaUs, N. Y., where he was installed pastor of the Congregational church, Dec. 31, 1834. In this relation he continued about twelve years. After its close he was for several years stated pastor of a number of churches in that part of the state, and in almost all of them was largely instrumental in promoting revivals of religion. During several of the last years ot his life he was too feeble and infirm to have charge of a church. Mr. Field's Christian character was above the ordinary type. No one acquainted with him ever questioned his sincerity or the purity of his motives. In his missionary and pastoral labors, he was most earnest to win his hearers to Christ. His humility, his simplicity, his love for his fellow-men, and his devotion to Christ, were all so apparent in his preaching and his intercourse with others, that his efforts were almost everywhere blessed with great success. He 502 FIELD GENEALOGY. died at Hamilton, N. Y., Nov. 24, 1873. He was three times married. His third wife, Mrs. Mary M. (Cony) Field, survives him. 1441.

For many months his friends have been admonished by his faltering steps that the end was near, and his own remarks have indicated that he was fully conscious of the fact ; but when it was reported that he was hopelessly ill, a feeling of sorrow settled over this community which was greatly deepened by the inteUigence of his death. Mere casual acquaint ances were often repelled by his somewhat rough exterior and blunt remarks, but those who knew him intimately and looked through the surface into his heart, esteemed and loved him. He came of a distinguished family, his lineage being traceable to John Field, the astronomer, who was born in London about 1520, and who died at Ardsley, England, about 1587. His grandson, Zechariah Field,' came to Massachusetts and settled in Dorchester about 1630, but a few years later moved to Hartford, Conn., and died in Hatfield, Mass., in 1666. From him the line is easily traced to Martin Field, the father of the subject of this sketch, who was born in Leverett, Mass., Feb. 12, 1773, graduated at Williams College in 1798, studied law with his uncle, Lucius Hubbard, at Chester, Vt., and settled at Newfane atthe opening of this century. He was a man of rare natural ability, of varied and extensive acquirements, and for thirty years was eminent in his profession and one of the leading men of the state. His wife was sister of the late Hon. Daniel Kel logg, of this town. Their younger son, Roswell M. Field, was one of the most brilliant and able men Vermont ever produced. He removed to St. Louis in 1839, and soon became the compeer of the most eminent lawyers of the West. For many years before his decease, in i86g, he was called the Nestor ot the Missouri bar. Charles K. Field, the oldest son, was born in Newfane, April 24, 1803. fitted for col lege at Amherst, Mass. , entered Middlebury College at the age of fifteen and grad uated in 1822. After studying law three years in the office of his father, he was admitted to the bar of this county and commenced the practice of his profession in Newfane; in 1828 he removed to Wilmington, where he resided for ten years, representing that town in the legislature in 1835-36-37-38; he was a delegate from that town in the State Constitutional Convention in 1836. In 1838 he returned to Newfane, where he resided until 1861, representing that town in the leg^iglature in 1853-54-55-60, and also representing it in the Constitutional Convention in 1843-50-57. In 1861 he moved to this town, where he has since resided. He was elected a member of the Council of Censors in 1869, and chosen president thereof at its first session, and in 1870 represented Brattleboro in the Constitutional Convention. Thus it will be seen that he had large experience in legislative bodies, where he always exerted great influence and did much toward shaping the legislation of the state. Mr. Field inherited many of his father's characteristics, especially his sarcasm, humor and faculty for relating stories, of which he possessed an inexhaustible store. He was a great reader, and the best ancient and modem authors were as familiar to him as were his village neighbors. His memory was wonderful ; he remembered aU of value that he ever read or heard, and had it at instant command ; this, with his quick perception, originality, powers of description, wit and humor, made him a most entertaining man in conversation, a brilliant public speaker and a formidable 508 FIELD GENEALOGY. adversary in forensic debate. His judgment of men was unerring; a distinguished jurist of this state once said of him that it made little difference what men said to him, he seemed to look right into their minds and read their real thoughts. He was a skillful lawyer, few men wielding a keener rapier than he, and he apparently possessed every requisite of a most effective jury advocate ; but though he always commanded a large practice, he mainly left the trial of jury cases to others, regard ing that as an uncertain and unsatisfactory field of enterprise. He was widely known throughout this state, and highly regarded for his brilliant abilities. He possessed a kind, sympathetic heart, retained the strongest attachment for his friends, and was an honest man. He was the last of that generation of men com posed of the Bradleys, the Kelloggs, the Shatters and the Fields, who for more than half a century gave eminence to the bar of Wildham county, and whose names will always shine in the galaxy of Vermont's distinguished men. Mr. Field was married in 1828 to Julia A. KeUogg, of Cooperstown, N. Y., who survives him ; he leaves three children, Mrs. E. P. Jew^t and Henry K. Field, of Montpelier and Mrs. H. C.

Field, was b. in Newfane, Vt ; d. at St. Louis, Mo., aged 62 years. He fitted for college with Rev. Luke Whitcomb, of HON. CHARLES KELLOGG FIELD See page 507. HO.\. ROSWELL MARTIN FIELD. See page. 508. FIELD GENEALOGY. 509 Townshend, Vt, and entered Middlebury College in the autumn of 1818, at eleven years of age. Graduating in 1822, he studied law with Hon. Daniel Kellogg, of Rockingham, Vt, and was admitted to practice in September, 1825, at eighteen years of age. He practised law in Windham county from 1825 to 1839, when he removed to St Louis, where he remained until his death. He represented the town of Newfane in the General Assembly of the State during the years 1835 and 1836. He was elected state's attorney for Windham county in 1832, 1833, 1834 and 1835. WhUe a member of the Legislature in 1835, he wrote an able report in favor of abrogating the rule of the common law excluding atheists from giving testimony in courts of justice. The proposition failed of adoption, but in 1851 it was renewed by Hon. Loyal C. Kellogg, of Benson, then a member of the House of Represent atives, and passed into a law. Since that period "no person is deemed incompetent as a witness in any court matter or proceeding on account of his opinions on mat ters of religious belief." The special pleas which he drew and filed in the libel suit of Torrey vs. Field, reported in the tenth volume of Vermont Reports, were declared by Judge Story to be masterpieces of special pleading. These contribu tions, with the exception of a multitude of briefs in cases reported in the Vermont and Missouri reports, are all the memorials of his learning that are left. He was a finished scholar, and read Greek, Latin, French, German and Spanish, besides having an extensive acquaintance with English literature and general science. He could speak with great fluency, not only French, but German. He was frequently employed in suits by reason of his great familiarity with foreign languages, for the mere purpose of correcting any errors of interpreters in their translations of the testimony of foreigners who could not speak English, and whose evidence was necessarily communicated to a court and jury by an interpreter. It was as a lawyer that he won his greatest distinction. When he went to St. Lduis in i83g, he had to contend with such men as Benton, Gamble andlBates. To none of these was he second in legal attainment, sound judgment and keen foresight As an advocate he was eloquent, and as a lawyer, learned. His attainments were of that solid char acter that they served him upon every professional emergency. His first distinction at the bar was obtained in cases involving the intricate old Spanish claims, which he mastered at an early day. His opinions always had great weight in the superior courts of the State, and at the time of his decease he was esteemed as the ablest lawyer at the Missouri bar. By the junior members of the profession he was regarded as an oracle, and freely gave advice to all young lawyers who sought his counsel. He cheerfully and readily aided young men of talent and worth whom he found struggling for success and position against poverty and adversity. He gained a national reputation in the famous Dred Scott case, which he started and carried on until the appeal was entered in the United States Supreme Court, when he turned it over to Montgomery Blair, then residing at Washington. In the dark days of the Rebellion, during the years 1861 and 1862, when the friends of the Union in St. Louis and Missouri felt that they were in imminent danger of being driven from their homes and their estates confiscated by rebels and traitors. Gen eral Lyon, General Blair and R. M. Field were among the calm, loyal and patriotic men who infiuenced public action and saved the city and State. In his social rela tions he was a genial and entertaining companion, unsurpassed in conversational powers, delighting in witty and sarcastic observations and epigrammatic sentences. He was elegant in his manners, and bland and refined in his deportment. He was a skilful musician, and passionately fond of children, and it was his wont in early life to gather them in groups about him and beguile them by the hour with the music of the flute or violin. He was confiding and generous to a fault, but for a few years before his decease he became 510 FIELD GENEALOGY. reserved and distrustful, had but few intimate associates, and mingled but little in general society, for his confidence had been violated, his generosity abused, and his charities wasted. He was utterly devoid of all ambition for power and place, and he uniformly declined all offers of advancement to the highest judicial honors of tbe State. Judge Hamilton, of the Circuit Court of St. Louis, in his address to the bar, suggests of him that "he was always under the controlling infiuence of princi ple, faithful towards his clients, honorable and upright with his professional brethren, and in all his relations, social, political and professional, frank and sincere to a fault. His heart was warm with the sweetest charities of humanity, and his friendships were as enduring as life itself." His proficiency in other walks of learning than the law would have rendered him remarkable if he had been unac quainted with jurisprudence. It was the accuracy, no less than the extent of his knowledge, which distinguished him above those around him. He seemed to have mastered the principles, the foundation of every subject with which he claimed any familiarity, and it was part of his nature to claim nothing to which his title was not perfect. He never used words without appropriate ideas annexed to them. Nothing of the kind of knowledge which remembers the rule, but leaves forgotten or never knew the reason of the rule. His scholarship was critical and exact. He made the perusal of the Greek and Latin classics his most delightful pastime. In fact, he resorted to this and scientific research, particularly in the department of pure mathematics, for his chief mental recreation. It is greatly to be regretted that he neglected to combine, with his cessations from professional labor, some employ ment which would have revived and strengthened his physical frame. He was averse to active exercise, and for some years before his death he lived a life of studious seclusion which would have been philosophical had he not violated, in the little care he took of his health, one of the most important lessons which philosophy teaches. At a comparatively early age he died of physical exhaustion, a deteriora tion of the bodily organs, and an incapacity on their part to discharge the vital functions, a wearing out of the machine before the end of the term for which its duration was designed. The defects of his character were due to a complete absence of the incentive to exertion which rivalry causes. It is obvious to all who read this slight censure, how unassailable is the man of whom it can be said that his principal defects arise from a want of one of the weaknesses of humanity. He was eminently qualified to serve as well as to adorn society, and in all likelihood he would have found in a greater variety of occupation some relief from the monoto nous strain under which his energies prematurely gave way. He possessed in full measure the capacity for rendering this service, but unfortunately he shrank from offering himself for its performance. It is not a paradox to say that if he had been more covetous of gain and of fame, more susceptible to the spur of emulation, and less firmly persuaded of the things ordinarily proposed as the reward of ambition, his life would have been happier and more useful to mankind. If he had possessed more ambition, his reputation would have been national, and he would have ranked among the most distinguished lawyers of the country. At a session of the Supreme Court ot the State of Missouri, soon after the decease of Mr. Field, Samuel Knox, Esq., a member of the bar, suggested to the court that it had lost an able and faithful counselor and its highest ornament in the death of Mr. Field. He was so modest in all his greatness, said Mr. Knox, as never to excite envy, so varied in his gifts, so extended his attainments, so wide his range of thought, that no person in his society could experience anything but pleasure, in his conversation anything but profit and delight. Uniting great industry and acquirements with the most brilliant wit and genius, well and accurately informed on all subjects, both in science and the arts, endowed with a memory that retained whatever it received. FIELD GENEALOGY. 511 with quick and clear perceptions, the choicest, most felicitous and forcible language in which to clothe his thoughts, no one could doubt his meaning or withhold the tribute of wonder at his power. His statements were always terse and clear, his arguments cogent and logical, his conclusions difficult to evade. In a long and eventful professional life, no charge of duplicity or unfairness, no cunning trick, no suspicion of dishonor ever tarnished his fair fame, or raised the slightest doubt of the highest professional honor and personal integrity. One thus distinguished is no ordinary loss — a loss to the court, to the profession, to the community in which he lived. Mr. Knox then offered the report of a committee, appointed by the St. Louis bar, at a meeting called to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of Mr. Field, and moved that the report be entered upon the records of the court, "an enduring memorial of the love and regard ot the members of the St. Louis bar for their departed brother." Judge Wagner, in behalf ot the court, responded as fol lows: "The members of this court have heard with the deepest regret of the death of R. M. Field, and the warm and deserved tribute which has just been paid to his memory receives an assenting response from the hearts of all those who knew him. On the decease ot our lamented friend and brother, the bar of Missouri has lost one of its brightest omaments. To a naturally keen, vigorous and analytical mind, he added a thorough mastery of legal principles combined with high scholarly attainments. Perhaps no man at the bar of this State ever brought to the consid eration of any question a greater amount of exact legal learning or clothed it with a more impressive and attractive logic. When he gave the great energies and powers of his mind to a cause, he exhausted all the learning to be had on the sub ject He studied law as a science and delighted to examine its harmonious struc ture and explore its philosophic principles. So deeply was he Imbued with its true spirit, and so great was his reverence for its excellence, that he maintained them with the most jealous regard and would sooner have failed in success than have won a cause by trenching upon a sound legal rule. He made no parade of leam ing, and in his social intercourse he had a childlike simplicity. With his profes sional brethren he was full of courtesy and kindness, and his whole conduct was marked by entire integrity and perfect truth. He adorned every circle in which he moved, and so beautiful was his life in all its relations that he won and enjoyed the esteem and regard of all who knew him. It is fit and proper that the death of such a man should be marked by all the honors which we can pay to his memory. It is just that we should pay this last tribute as an evidence of our appreciation of his great abilities and exalted virtues. It is therefore ordered that the report of the proceedings of the bar, which have been presented, be entered of record on the minutes of this court, and out of respect for his memory it will be further ordered that this court do now adjourn."

A large mass ot information concerning its settlement and its connection with the Indian war has been given. The settlement was commenced in i65g by a company of persons residing in Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor, in Connecticut. The company held a meeting at the house of Nathaniel Ward, one of the company, in Hartford, on April 18, i65g, where fifty- nine and one set down as ''not tully engaged" signed an agreement for their mutual regulation and government, pledging themselves to remove to the planta tions "purchased of the Indians at Nolwotogg, on the east side of Connecticut, beside Northampton," as early as Sept. 29 of the following year; to pay their several proportions of the land purchased, as well as for the purchase of Hockanum, "which had been mortgaged by the Indians to Joseph Parsons of Northampton ;" to raise all common charges by assessments upon the lands taken up by the company, and not to sell their land until they had lived in the town for three years, and, after wards, to none but such as the town should approve. It was also agreed that those who went up within three weeks from that time should have their choice in lots, provided they took them together. On Nov. 22, 1659, a committee of seven, chosen for the purpose, made an assessment of 180 pounds to pay for land and the minis ter's maintenance. Res. Hadley, Mass. EDWARD, b. Nov. 11, 1835; d.

In 1880 he returned to Greenfield to live with his father and stepmother, and entered the public schools. In 1888 his parents removed to San Diego, Cal., and he retumed to Scriba, N. Y., and entered the Oswego High School, where he graduated in 1889. In February of the coming year he went to California and took a position with the West Coast Match Co. The enterprise, however, was not a success, such that in the fall of that year he went to San Diego to become a salesman in the wholesale hardware house of Todd & Hawley. Here he remained for two years and a half, but in February, 1893, he resigned lo take a similar position with Haw ley Bros. Hardware Co., of San Francisco. In July, 1894, the spirit of change again came over him, and he left the United States to travel in Mexico, where he spent several months in quest of pleasure, profit and opportunity. After stopping some weeks in the city of Mexico, and visiting all of the other principal cities and places of interest, he passed through Vera Cruz and Yucatan to Cuba. Here he found an unsettled condition ; the revolution which was to result in Cuban freedom was at hand and business was affected, so he soon took steamer and landed in New York the last of the year. Here he soon became identified with the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, holding positions of trust and responsibUity, and is at the present time cashier. Early in 1889 Mr. Field was appointed to the West Point Military Academy by Congressman Nutting, of Oswego, and on June 14 he reported for examination, but did not succeed in entering, as 522 FIELD GENEALOGY. he was rejected by the surgeons on account of weight. While in Calif ornia he served in the National Guard as a private and cor poral in Company A, gth Regiment of San Diego, and as an ordinary seaman in Company D, Naval Battalion .of San Fran cisco. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war he, with others, was active in raising a provisional regiment, a tent being erected for the purpose in Union Square, New York city. Twenty- two hundred men were recruited, but the regiment was never mustered, as the National Guard filled the full quota of the State. Mr. Field then assisted in organizing the logth Regiment of the National Guard of New York, and was assigned to the command of Company D, and commissioned a first lieutenant by Governor Black. The regiment was "mustered in" June 22, and the sum mer and fall were spent in preparing for active service, but the war was soon over, and after seven months of readiness, the regiment was "mustered out" Jan. la, 1899, Lieutenant Field being ren dered supernumerary. 2974. iii.

WhUe HiU, Burlington county, N. J., Dec. 31, 1803 ;:m. Salem, N. J., 1831, Mary Ritchie; d. 1852. He was a grandson of Richard Stockton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence ; was graduated at Princeton in 1821 ; studied law in the office of his uncle, Richard Stockton, and was admitted to the bar in 1825. He was for several years a member of the New Jersey Legislature, and in 1838 was 3290. 3291. n. 3292. 111. 3293- IV. 3294. V. 3295- VI. 556 FIELD GENEALOGY. appointed attorney-general of the State, which office he resigned in 1844. He was a prominent member of the convention that met in 1844 to adopt the present consti tution of the Stale of New Jersey, and in 1851 was chosen to deliver the first annual address before an association composed of its survivors. From 1847 till 1855 he was professor in the New Jeirsey Law School. Ever taking a strong interest in educational matters, and especially in the common schools ot the State, he was in the latter year made president ot the board of trustees of the State Normal School, then just organized, and thenceforward until his death he wrote all its annual reports to the Legislature. In November, 1862, he was appointed to the United States Senate for the unexpired term of John R. Thompson, who died in office. While a member of that body he delivered an able argument on the discharge of State prisoners, in which he maintained that the right to suspend the writ of habeas corpus resided, fxjx in Congress, but in the President. On Jan. 21, 1863, he was appointed, by President Lincoln, United States district judge for the district of New Jersey, which office he held until his death. In 1866 he was a delegate to the PhUadelphia convention, and throughout his life he was an unflinching advocate of the Union cause. After his elevation to the bench, he lived in comparative seclu sion in his luxurious home at Princeton. Judge Field was a man of varied and profound learning, gentle, courteous and dignified, and of a charitable disposition. He was closely identified with his alma mater, which in return conferred upon him in 1859 the degree of LL.D. Judge Field at the time of his decease was president of the New Jersey Historical Society, and for many years a valuable contributor to its publications. "The Provincial Courts of New Jersey," etc, form ing the third volume of the "Collections" (1849), is probably his most valuable con tribution to historical research. Among his best known addresses, all of which have been printed, are those "On the Trial of the Rev. WUliam Tenent for Perjury in 1742" (1851); "The Power of Habit" (1855); "The Constitution Not a Compact Between Sovereign States" (1861); "On the Life and Character of Chief Justice Hornblower" (1865); and "An Oration on the Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln" (1866).

He was interested in the iron works at White Hill, and was instrumental in having the steamboat Phoenix built there, about the year 1810. She was not a success, as she was not able to stem the tide. Dr. Brognard, a French gentleman who had a share in ihe enterprise, proposed cutting it in two and making wood boats out of her. She was sold to John Stevens, who took her to Hoboken, where a more powerful engine was put in her, and she was run for many years on the Delaware. He d. Nov. 12, 1846. Res.

Martha Woodward, dau. of George and sister of Rebecca; m., 2d, Mrs. Mary (Biddle) Bates; m., 3d, Malinda P. . He was for many years a supercargo in the India trade, and afterwards entered into partnership with his brother Thomas in Philadelphia. While a supercargo of the ship Washington, Captain Jefferson, on his return to this country from China, she was stranded in the shoal waters off the coast of Sumatra. While thus situated, she was attacked by the natives in a fleet ot boats from shore. They successfully repelled them for several days, the boat was at last got off, and proceeded to port. Then the yellow fever broke out on board and the captain and many of the crew died, and she was abandoned as unseaworthy. American ships were scarce in those waters in those days, and knowing the heavy loss that would be incurred in disposing of so valuable a cargo in that port with no market, Mr. Field, after strenuous exertions and giving heavy bonds of release to the insurance companies and greedy officials, succeeded in regaining possession of the goods, and with a crew of the natives and Malays — all of whom were unaccus tomed to such long trips, succeeded, however, in securing their services for the home trip. Mr. Field was obliged to enter into bonds with that govemment for the safe return of all the men. The boat finally reached PhUadelphia, which port she never again left. This was in the year 1835, and the visit of the Malays, at that early period being quite a novelty, they attracted considerable attention. On the July 4, Mr. Field took them by steamboat to his old home at White Hill, N. J. They numbered thirty-one, including a cannibal. They enjoyed eating cherries very much, the cannibal swallowing the stones. Mr. Field on his next voyage retumed them all to their homes, but the cannibal, for whom he was not under bonds and who wished to remain in this country, did not return. He married a colored woman, became a sincere Christian, and accumulated quite a Uttie property seUing pies and cakes around the streets of White HiU, Mr. Field's home. There Mr. Field always resided ; he was well known in the community, for his genial and kind disposition and polished manners. — Bordentown, N. J., Register, Aug. 16, 1878.

He would have made a splendid Spaniard, but at the age of seventeen he returned home and entered the family and store of a most estimable and strict Friend.

After Peter Field, Sr., gave up the jewelry business in New York, his son Peter, Jr., followed the business extensively. His granddaughter has a silver teapot and set of silver spoons he gave her mother, and the spoons bear his stamp. He was robbed one Sunday during mid-day of $10,000 worth of goods. An acquaintance in a church, which was opposite his store, saw a man dressed as he dressed go three times to the door and try a key, and he wondered why Mr. Field went to his store on Sunday. The famous detectives. Hays brothers, were put on track, and arrested one of the richest men in New York, who lived in grand style and had apparatus for working and melting all metals. He kept his books, and in these books was registered the number of things he had stolen from Peter Field, Jr. He was sent to Auburn State Prison for ten years. Mr. Field had had bills printed and sent all over the country giving the facts of the robbery, little thinking the bold thieving was done by a neighbor. He d. Sept 18, 1847. Res.

Jackson, engaging in a large manufacturing business and conduct ing a general store, remaining there eleven years. Then deciding to go west and "grow up with the country," he migrated to Milwaukee, Wis. ; locating there in 1850. He very soon embarked in the real estate business, in which he was very suc cessful, and amassed a moderate fortune. In 1874 he married. Retiring from busijiess at that time, he has traveled extensively both at home and abroad. He has lived several years in Europe, spending his winters usuaUy in Florence and his summers in Germany and Switzerland. He is an old habitue of Carlsbad and other German spas. Has visited Sweden, Norway, Russia, etc. He has now a beauti ful home on Juneau Place, Milwaukee, on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, one of the most delightful and picturesque spots in the Cream City. Here, sur rounded by choice paintings, statuary, curios, souvenirs of his travels, he spends his days tranquilly, varied by occasional short trips across the Atlantic. For his years Mr. Field is a most remarkably well preserved man, and with his erect car riage, elastic step arid flashing eyes, bids fair to make the century mark, as his hosts of friends predict.

New York City, Jan. 19, 1838, Catherine Matilda Van Cortlandt de Peyster, b. Oct 2, 1818; d. July 22, 1886. Benjamin Hazard Field was born at Yorktown, Westchester county, N. Y. Mr. Field was a descendant of an old and honorable English family, a brief history of which is necessary to complete an obituary sketch of Mr. Field. UntU the middle of the sixteenth century the family name was spelled Feld, and after that Feild, Feeld and Field, all sometimes terminating with an "e." From records in the possession of the family it seems likely that the family is descended from the ' 'de la Felds." The prefix "de la" was dropped by many families in the fourteenth century, in consequence of the wars with France having made it unpopular in England. In the year 1068 Hubertus de la Feld, who is said to have accompanied William the Conqueror into England, held lands in Lancashire which were granted to him for military services. In the twelfth century John de la Feld appears on the records as an owner of lands in the same county. The first appearance of the Fields with the prefix "de la" in that neighborhood was in Yorkshire. Mr. Osgood Field found the first authentic record of the family. It was dated 1480, and referred to letters of administration granted to Katherine Feld, widow of William Feld, of Bradford. The family was seated in Horton, Bradford county, a few years later. Robert Feild, a descendant of this family, came to this country with his neighbor and relative by marriage. Sir Richard Saltonstall, in the company organized in 1630, and settled in Watertown, Mass. He remained there for several years. Later he moved to Newport, R. I., where his name appears in a list of citizens of 1638. A number of citizens of Rhode Island, including Robert Feild, obtained in 1645 a grant of land at Flushing and Hempstead, L. I. In 1657 Robert Feild signed the remonstrance against the persecution of the Quakers. Anthony Field, the fourth son of Robert Feild, was born at Flushing, L. I. Anthony Field moved to Harri son's Purchase, Westchester county, where seven sons and two daughters were born to him. His third son, John Field, was the grandfather of Benjamin Hazard Field. John Field was married at Jamestown, R. I., in 1763. His wife was the daughter of William Hazard, of that place. They had sixteen children, of whom Hazard Field, the father of Benjamin Hazard Field, was the oldest Hazard Field by his second wife, Mary Bailey, had three sons, Wright, Benjamin Hazard and Joseph. Benjamin Hazard Field got his preliminary education under the parental roof in Westchester county. His school work was finished at the North Salem Academy. After completing his academic education, Mr. Field decided to begin a mercantile life, and entered the office of his uncle, Hickson W. Field, in this city. In March, 1832, he became a member of the firm, and in 1838, when his uncle retired from business, he assumed the management of the business. He married Catherine M. Van Cortlandt de Peyster, a daughter of Frederic de Peyster, of this city. Miss de Peyster was noted for her beauty. She was prominent in society, and was active in religious and charitable work. They had two children, Cortlandt de Peyster and Florence Van Cortlandt. In 1861 Mr. Field was joined in business by his son. Four years later the firm name was changed to Cortlandt de P. Field & Co. , the elder Field remaining a silent partner. Mr. Field was always highly successful in his business, which embraced almost every industry. He amassed a large fortune. The death of Mr. Field ends a career of remarkable activity in philanthropic work. He was most widely known for his activity and unselfish devotion in working for the good of his fellow citizens. In this work he was most lavish in the expenditure of his money and time. The best part of his life was given up almost entirely to work for others. He was early identified with the St. Nicholas Society, of which 564 FIELD GENEALOGY. he had been vice-president and president. The erection of the fireproof building of the New York Historical Society was due largely to his efforts. In 1884 he was elected a life member of the society. He was treasurer of the society for twenty years, and has also been its president. In 1856 he was elected a life member of the American Geographical Society. For several years he was a director of the Atlantic Mutual Life Insurance Company. Mr. Field contributed largely to and was identi fied with every deserving charity in this city. In the cause of free education he spent large sums of money. To his efforts were largely due the erection of the Fanagut monument in Mad ison Square, and the monument to the poet HaUeck in Central Park. At the time of his death Mr. Field was president of the Home for Incurables, New York Free Circulating Library, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Field Home and the Field Farm Company (limited). He was vice-president of the Bank for Savings, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, the Sheltering Arms and the Children's Fold. He was trustee or director of the Working Women's Protective Union, Roosevelt Hospital, Greenwood Cemetery, American Museum of Natural History, the New York Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, and the Good Samaritan Dispensary. He had also been vice-president of the Society Library and a director of the New York Dispensary. At the time of his death he was a member of the New York Chamber of Com merce, Century Club, St. Nicholas Society, St. Nicholas Club, Executive Committee of the New York Historical Society, and a large number of minor charitable organ izations. In his connection with all these organizations Mr. Field was always most active and wUling to stand the brunt of the work when any task was undertaken, Mr. Field's unselfish labors for others, his fine presence and courtly, dignified manner won for him a large number of friends. He was always prominent in the best society, and was a life-long member of the Protestant Episcopal church. — New York Tribune. He d. March 17, 1893. Res. New York, N. Y. 3348. i.

Fountain, son of Dr. James, of Jefferson Valley, Westchester county, N. Y. For many years the family resided in Jackson, Mich., at 318 ist street. Mrs. Fountain was esteemed as a woman of rare attainments and unusual kindness of heart, going about in her quiet, unassuming way, scattering bits of sunshine here and there, ever ready to assist the poor and needy. She passed her girlhood amidst the best of home influences, and was a devout Christian and member of the Unitarian Society. She died Sept 5, 1887. Mr. Fountain died quite suddenly after being stricken with paralysis. He was for many years identified with the business interests of Jackson, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was born in Peekskill, N. Y., Feb. 10, 1825, and died in 1890. He was educated at Williams College, and studied medicine, but did not practice that profession, entering at once into the drug trade. During the gold excitement in California in 1849 he made the trip via the Isthmus. Returning, he went to Michigan and engaged in milling with his brother at Manchester, but did not long remain, returning soon across the plains to the Pacific coast. While in Utah he was elected a member of the territorial legislature. When the war broke out he returned to Jackson, Mich., and enlisted in the Fourth Michigan Cavalry, and was soon promoted to first lieutenant for conspicuous brav ery. In 1864, on account of ill-health, he was obliged to resign, but re-enlisted again in the Eighth Michigan Cavalry and served until the war closed. Returning to Jackson, he was superintend ent of public works, chief of police, and overseer of tbe poor. He left three children— Mrs. P. S. Stewart, of Detroit, Mich. ; Mrs. George H.

He was admitted to the New York bar in 1847, and practiced for a few years in connection with the Hon. John Jay. Not having much taste for law, and being, on the other hand, fond of travel, he gave up the practice of his profession and went abroad. While in Europe he was secretary of legation for a time in Paris under Judge John Y. Mason, and later connected with the Span ish legation under Pierre Soule. Was president of the American Commission at the Universal Exhibition there in 1855. On this occasion he received from the emperor, Louis Napoleon, the ribbon of the Legion of Honor. In 1861 he'was assigned tothe United States deputy sub-treasurership in the city of New York, and afterward was appointed by President Lincoln assistant secretary of the United States Treas ury, a post which he held for some years, but resigned in 1865, as his health broke down under the terrible strain which his duties brought upon him during the war. Shortly after, he was made one of the collectors of internal revenue of the fourth New York district at New York, but resigned this post after a whUe in 1869, on being offered a district judgeship there, which offer he accepted. Judge Field was in early life a Democrat, but on the second election of President Lincoln voted with the Republicans. Judge Field wrote a volume of reminiscences, and a novel called "Adrian; or. Among the Clouds of the Mind," conjointly with his friend, G. P. R. James (New York, 1852). He also translated two or three works from the French, of which language he was thoroughly master, '"Memoirs of Many Men and Some Women" (1874), small volume of poems (1869). His memoirs, which were entertaining reminiscences of his sojourn abroad, were widely circulated. He d. Jan. 24, 1875. Res. New York. 3362; i. MAUNSELL BRADHURST, b. Oct 21, 1848; m.

Oct. 7, 1880, Kath arine Roxana Parker, dau. of Milton Day Parker, of Utica, N. Y. He was bom Nov. 14, 1823, at his father's house, 482 Broadway, in the city ot New York. Both of his parents died when he was about ten years old. After some private tuition at home, he was sent to the school of the Rev. Mr. Huddart, in his native town, which enjoyed a great reputation at that time for English literature, Latin and Greek. After a few years he left this establishment for that of the brothers Peugnet, who were graduates of the Polytechnic School of France and had been officers under Napoleon, having settled in New York "atter his downfall Especial attention was paid by them to the higher branches of mathematics and modern languages, and while with them, he acquired a knowledge ot French and Spanish. Shortly after leaving school, he sailed for Europe in the spring of 1842. While there he made the usual European tour, visiting England, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. As there were no ocean steamers at that time and very few railroads, he crossed the Atlantic in a sailing packet and did most of the journeying on land by coach, or other vehicle. He returned to New York in the autumn after seven ' months' absence. He remained at home till the latter part of 1843, when he left for New Orleans by way of the Ohio and Mississippi, stopping for some days on the way at Cincinnati and St. Louis, the latter being considered at that time ' 'the Far West. ' ' After a stay of several weeks at New Orleans, he embarked for Havana, and remained in Cuba nearly two months, returning to New Orleans, FIELD GENEALOGY. 667 where he spent another fortnight or so, and 'then home. He had only been back a month or two when his eldest brother, who had been in bad health, was recom mended by his physician to make a trip to Europe, and as it was not thought advis able that he should go alone, he decided lo accompany him. They made a tour through England and to Paris, where his brother was so much better that he left him there and returned to New York after an absence of five months. He now felt it was desirable that he should settle himself by taking up some profession or other occupation, and his cousin, Benjamin H. Field, having made him an offer to join him in his business of a commission merchant in New York, with a share of the profits, he accepted it, and the arrangement continued for four years. When it expired, he decided to found a similar house in London, which he did in 1849. He soon had commercial relations not only with many of the principal cities of his own country, but also with most of the European States and the East and West Indies. He retired from business in 1877, having acquired a competency. He traveled much during the next few years, and besides visiting the countries he had already seen, he made a tour in Russia, Sweden and Denmark. In 1880 he married in London, Katharine Roxana, daughter ot MUton Day Parker, Esq., of Utica, N. Y. Partly on account of his wife, who suffered from attacks of bronchitis in cold weather, they passed the foUowing winter in Egypt, where they ascended to the second cata ract of the Nile, and the following one at Cannes. They spent the third winter after their marriage in Rome. Both his wife and himself had cousins residing there, and partly on this account and partly because the climate suited them and they found the life agreeable, they decided to make the place their home. They accordingly took and fumished an apartment in the Palace of Prince Colonna, where they have passed since then the seven colder months of the year, and the remaining five in Switzerland, Germany, France or England. Mr. Field has always been greatly interested in genealogical and historical sub jects. WhUe residing in this country and in England he contributed many articles to historical magazines relating to the genealogy of the Field family. Many of the articles were contributed to the New England Historic and Genealogical Register, pubUshed in Boston. The author of this work is greatly indebted to Mr. Field for the history of the family prior to its settlement in America. WhUe residing in London he had a most extensive search instituted, and spent thousands of dollars in the compilation and publication of his work, much of which is given in this volume with Mr. Field's permission.

Augus tus Field, was married to Mr. Henry WUmerding Payne, son of the late Rev. John William Payne, who for many years was resi dent in Rome, Italy. There were present at the marriage cere mony only immediate relatives and a limited number of intimate friends of the pair, about seventy-five in all. The Rev. Dr. David H. Greer, rector of St. Bartholomew's church, officiated at the marriage ceremony, which took place in the drawing-room of the bride's home before a temporary altar, behind which were palms and floral decorations, white and pink roses predominat ing. There were no bridesmaids or ushers. The bride was escorted to the altar by her brother, Mr. Augustus Bradhurst Field, and was given away by her mother. Mr. Leonard. S. R. Hopkins was best man. The bridal gown of heavy white satin was severely plain, the waist made high at the neck, and the skirt slightly en traine. The veil of beautiful point applique was held in place by a crescent of diamonds, one of the bridegroom's gifts, and the bouquet was of lilies of the valley and fresh orange blos soms. The bride also wore a necklace of pearls and a brooch of solitaire diamonds, gifts of the bridegroom. After the marriage ceremony and congratulations a wedding breakfast was served by Sherry, the bride and bridegroom and several near relatives being seated at a round table. After a brief wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs. Payne will sail for Europe, where they will travel for several months. — New York Herald. 3372. vi. MAUNSELL BRADHURST, b. Nov. 21, 1863; m. Beadle- ston.

March 30, 1870, Salvatorre Brancaccio, Prince of Triggiano, Prince of Bitetto, Marquis of Naples. His fuU name is Salvatorre Carlo Felice Corrado Gasparo Baldasasse Melchiorre Supo. Prince Bran caccio, Prince of Triggiano, Duke of Lustra and Pontelaudolfo, Marchese Bajada, etc., born at Naples, Italy, July 10, 1842, son of Duke Carlo, b. 1812; d. Aug. 25, 1868, Chevalier hon de'l O, de Malta. The Princess Brancaccio is prominent in the court circle, and bears the titie of "Dame d'Honneur" to her Majesty, Queen Marguerite. She was of New York, and beautiful as a young girl. In middle life she is still handsome, and has the airs and manners of a princess born. Her interests do not extend outside of her famUy and the court circle. She is happy in hav ing married her daughter to Prince Massimo, who bears one of the most Ulustrious names of Rome, the family inhabiting the feudal palace for many centuries, and claiming to trace their descent from the prstor, Fabius Maximus. It is a curious fact that of all the American women who have married Europeans of titie, only one has accepted a courUy office within the gift of the sovereign of her adopted country. The exception is the Duchess 670 FIELD GENEALOGY. of Brancaccio. The duchess is an intimate friend of Queen Mar guerite, and gave up her beautiful Naples residence to be near her majesty. Marguerite of Savoy endeavored to make room in her immediate entourage for the sprightly American years ago, when she first entered Roman society. The duke, being a thorough royalist, favored the proposal, but the quondam Miss Field objected to becoming "a lady in waiting." So the position of "dame du palais," which involves no menial duties, even from an American standpoint, was created for her benefit. Their chil dren are: i. Carlo Hickson Maria Salvatorre, b. Rome, Italy, Dec. 2g, 1870. 2. .Maria Eleonore Vittoria Felice Candida Eliza beth, b. Rome, Italy, Feb. ig, 1875; m. there April 29, 1895, Prince Francesco Massimo, Prince d'Arsoli. On the occasion of her marriage, Princess Eleonore Brancaccio wore a number of the jewels of Queen Marie Antoinette, which are now in the hands of the family of the bridegroom, the young Prince Massimo. The latter has royal Bourbon blood in his veins, for his mother is a step-sister of the late Comte de Chambord, acknowledged as King Henry V. of France by the legitimists. She is the issue of that second marriage which the widowed Duchesse de Berry con tracted with her Neapolitan chamberlain, the Marquis Lucchessi- Palli, a union which, it may be remembered, brought a some what ridiculous conclusion upon the rising which she had headed in France against King Louis Philippe in favor of her eldest son, the Comte de Chambord. Let me add that the old Princess Massimo presents a most marked physical resemblance to the late French pretender, and has inherited all the peculiar facial char acteristics of the house of Bourbon. But it is not only with the latter that the young princess will become connected by her mar riage with Prince Massimo, for the latter's elder brother married some time ago Princess Eugenie Bonaparte, a niece and god daughter of Empress Eugenie, while old Prince Massimo himself is a son of Princess Marie of Savoy and a near relative, therefore, of King Humbert and Queen Marguerite. In fact, there is no patrician house in Rome that has made so many matrimonial alliances with royal and imperial families as that of Massimo, which claims to be the most ancient family in Europe, tracing its descent in an unbroken line back to Quintus Fabius Maximus, the conqueror of the Carthaginian general Hannibal. Prince Massimo holds the hereditary office of postmaster-general to the pope, and is the recognized head of the old black, or clerical, patrician society in Rome; whereas the Brancaccios may be regarded as forming part of the opposite camp, the princess, nte Field, being a lady in waiting to Queen Marguerite. Her hus band's title is very ancient, the rank of prince having -been conferred in the year 1391, and that of duke three centuries ago. "As stated above, the Massimo family is very ancient. They are Catholics and'one of the oldest Roman families, which, tradi tion says, descend from the Maximi. They acquired pospession of Savelli-Palombara by the marriage of Camillo Francesco Massimo (born about 1750, d. about 1800) with Barbara (died FIELD GENEALOGY. 571 1826), daughter and heiress of Savelli-Palombara.

J.: "Mr. James Moses has been one of the most successful business men in this city. Starting alone in boyhood at the potters' trade, he has by his own efforts, climbed the lad der of success and achieved fame and fortune. He is a compara tively young man, only forty-four. He was born near Omagh, County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1847, his parents being of Scottish descent. In 1864 he came to this country, having less than $50 in his pocket after paying his passage. He went to work immedi ately in the Glasgow Pottery, Trenton N. J., at the wages of the average ware-room boy, which were little more than sufficient to pay his board. He remained with the Glasgow Pottery eleven years, serving in different capacities. April 21, 1875, he purchased the Mercer Pottery. It is now one of the largest potteries in this city. Whatever Mr. Moses is to-day, he owes solely to his own efforts. One principle he laid down when he came to this coun try, and rigidly followed, was this: That whatever his wages or income, he would keep his expenditures a little below it, so that every year he was saving something. There are two distin guishing traits in the character of Mr. Moses, one is his conscien tiousness in everything he does, and the other is, his cool perse verance. At the present time (i8gg) Mr. Moses is president of the Mercer Pottery Company ; president of the Villa Park Improve ment Company, and president of the Spring Lake Electric Light, Heat and Power Company. He is a Republican and protection ist, but not a politician. He is a member of the Presbyterian church." 2. Sara Ann MacDonald. b. Aug. i, 1858. 3. Elizabeth Brokaw MacDonald, b. May 11, 1861; d.

Field, born in 1755, by his father, Richard Field, Sr. , and at that time owned and occupied by him. Richard I. Field here lived the remainder of his days, raising a large family. Died in 1871. eighty-six years of age, revered and beloved. "Primogeniture being now unknown in this country, instances are not frequent where land descends from father to son for successive generations. In addition to the usual necessity ot dividing estates, too often the heir to homestead lands is quite wanting in tbat love and reverence for ancestral acres that distinguishes people of an older country. It is pleasant to be able to record and make honorable mention of so rare a preservation of a family property as that of Benjamin M., Benjamin B., John K., and John B. Field, who now own and occupy 500 acres of land fronting on the river, a short distance below Bound Brook. Theirs is one of the few instances in New Jersey ot persons being able, in walking over their lands, to feel the proud consciousness of overlooking a broad territory that has been theirs and their ances tors' for nearly 200 years. The New Jersey forefather was John Field, who, on Dec. 14, i6g5, purchased 1,055 acres ot land, fronting the Raritan for two miles and a half, extending about three-quarters of a mUe inland, and commencing about one mile below Bound Brook. He came from Long Island, where he was born in i65g, being the grandson of Robert Field, born in 1610, who, it is supposed, came to Rhode Island with Roger Williams. Robert with fifteen associates obtained, in 1645, from Gov. William Kieft, of New Netherland, a patent for a large area of land on Long Island, embodying the present location ot Flushing. The New Jersey ancestor FIELD GENEALOGY. 581 was fifth in descent— in the direct line —from the famous astronomer, John Field, born in 1525. who introduced the Copernican system in England. WhUe living in London, in 1556, he published the first English astronomical tables on the basis of the new discoveries. In recognition of this service he received from the Crown a patent authorizing him to bear a crest on his family arms. 'His son Richard became chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, and was the author of several religious works. The Fields trace their descent from Hubertus de la Feld, who held lands in the County of Lancaster, England, in the third year of the reign of WUliam the Con queror. The name, in the old English, was written "Feld," and is merely the past participle of the verb to fell. Field-land is opposed to wood-land, and means land where the trees have been felled. When such land is spoken of by such old authors as Gower, Chaucer, and others, itis always written "feld:" "In Woode, in Feld or Cittee, Shall no man steale in nowise." John Field purchased his Raritan lands in 1695 from Benjamin Clarke, who inherited the property from his father — also named Benjamin. The senior Clarke, who died in i68g, arrived in Perth Amboy in 1683, securing headlands for himself, his son and eight others. He is said to have built a house near the junction of Market and Water streets, where he established New Jersey's first stationery and book store. In a letter to Scotland, in March, 1685, Charles Gordon writes: "Neither are we altogether destitute of Books and Clergy, for George Keith, who arrived three weeks since, with others — (they were all winter in Barbadoes) — have brought mathematics, and Benjamin Clarke a Library of Books to sell ; so you may see New Perth begins to be founded upcm Clergy." Clarke was a Quaker, and we may judge him a stiff-necked one after reading the following extract from the old book of records of the Society of Friends; "At the monthly meeting held in Amboy, the thirteenth of the fifth month,i687, the friends appoynted to speak to ^Benjamin Clerk, brought his answer, which was, that he would not come to meeting because Governor La wry called him a divil (as he sayes) wherewith friends not being satisfied desires George Keith and John Barclay to speak to him again." Many of these ancestral acres have been the homestead lands of Fields from that day to this. At the time Johannes rode through this domain the original estate was owned and occupied by the grandsons of John Field, as follows: Jeremiah, born in 1713, who lived on the farm lately owned by Stephen Voorhees, and whose stone dwelling is still extant; John, born in 1714, who Uved on what was lately known as the Oliver farm in a stone house still standing, which has inscribed on the west wall the date 1743, and the initials J. P. ; Michael, born in 1723, who lived on the mill property lately owned by Louis Clark; Benjamin, born in 1735, who lived on the farm now owned by Benjamin M. Field, in a frame house still stand ing, the newer portion of which is inscribed with the date 1761, and the initials B. P. ; and Richard, born 1726, who lived on the farm latelyowned by John D. Field. His house is still standing its corner-stone being marked with the date 1710 and the initial F. ; it is thought, however, that this stone was taken from the original house of the first purchaser, John Field, which stood a few hundred yards away, its foundations and cellars still plainly visible. You may wonder at so prolonged a narrative of these Fields and their property. It should have an interest to the descendants of Johannes, from the fact that the two famUies are in this wise connected: Jeremiah Field, born in 1753, married Jane, daughter of Capt Jacob Ten Eyck, of Revolutionary fame. He settled in Bedminster township, purchasing on Feb. 6, 1790, from Daniel Heath a farm of 103 acres, fronting on the Lamington river. Here Richard J. Field was born in 1785, who on Dec. 22, 1808. married Mary Kline, born April 17, 1791, she being the 682 FIELD GENEALOGY. granddaughter of Jacob Kline, and his wife, Veronica Gerdrutta, the eldest daugh ter of Johannes Noelich." — Mellick's History of an old house.

To her music seems a natural language, and through it she becomes the interpreter of the deepest, tenderest, and truest emotions of the human heart ; and no one who has ever listened to her pure voice, her sympa thetic style, simple truth and eloquence of manner, whether in song or declamation, will fail to recall often and long that win ning personality which shines through aU her personations. Through her readings is evinced a strong emotional and intellec tual organization, exquisitely artistic withal, and give evidence of the highest dramatic talent. Her stage presence is remark ably elegant and graceful~her taste is purely aesthetic; her ges tures the perfection of grace and true to thought ; pronounced by judges to be marvels of excellence, and gems of art for one so young, and to compare favorably with older dramatists whose reputation is world-wide. 3461. viii.

Henry Cromwell Field succeeded to his father's professional position in New gate street, and became chairman of the Court of Examiners of the Apothecaries' Company. His personal tastes took an artistic turn, and led to his becoming an occasional exhibitor at the Royal Academy. Shortly before his death he was pre paring, in co-operation with the chaplain of Charterhouse, a book in illustration of that establishment. It was whilst in the discharge of his duty as resident med ical officer there that his death occurred instantaneously in 1840. He was buried in the vault of Charterhouse chapel. He married his cousin, Anne, daughter of Thomas Gwinnel. He d. May 6, 1840. Res. London, England. 1919. BARRON FIELD (Henry, John, John, Thomas, Henry, John, John, John, Richard, William, William, Thomas), b. England, Oct 23, 1786; m. there Carncroft. He was a lawyer and miscellaneous writer, second son of Henry Field, by his wife, Esther, daughter of John Barron. Through his father's intimate connection with Christ's Hospital, and through the fact that his brother, Francis John Field, was a clerk in the India office, he became acquainted with Charles Lamb ; had a large share in',his affections, and was admitted a member of that dis tinguished cluster of literary men which included Coleridge, Wordsworth, Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt. He was entered in the books of the Inner Temple on June 20, i8og, and was called June 23, 1841. At this period of his life he supported himself by literature. He contributed several essays to Leigh Hunt's Reflector (1811), and among his compilations was an analysis of Blackstone's Commentaries. His most lucrative engagement was that of theatrical critic to the Times. He had sufficient influence with the proprietors to procure the place of parliamentary reporter for Thomas Barnes, and the recruit ultimately obtained the position of editor. Field appreciated English poetry, both ancient and modern ; his fondness for Wordsworth's writings was especiaUy marked, and Mr. J. Dykes Campbell possesses a copy of Wordsworth's poems (1815-20, in 3 vols.), which contains Field's book-plate and elaborate variorum readings in his handwriting. He contributed to the Quar- FIELD GENEALOGY. 585 terly Review, for 1810. an article on Dr. Notts edition of Herrick, and he made a close study of the dramatic works of Heywood. When he had realized the preca rious character of literary work and his want of success in the law of England, he secured for himself the post of advocate-fiscal at Ceylon, and then of judge of the Supreme Court at New South Wales and its dependencies. He embarked at Graves end Aug. 28, 1816, with his wife, whom he had just married, and anchored in Sydney harbor Feb. 24,1817. His stay in the colonies lasted nearly seven years; He took ship for England Feb, 4, 1824, and landed at Portsmouth June 18. Several articles, including narratives of the incidents on these voyages, were contributed by him to the London Magazine (1822-25), and the journals of his voyages were sub sequently included in the appendix of the Geographical Memoirs on New South Wales. His discharge of his legal duties in New South Wales was marred by some drawbacks. His diligence and professional skill were generally recognized, but he was paid by fees, and this exposed him to the charge, an unjust charge as is acknowledged, of encouraging litigation to augment his income. A more serious error appeared in his readiness to embark in the party squabbles of the colony, which exposed him to the obloquy of his opponents ; and when he retired from the presidency of the supreme court the complimentary address of the lawyers did not represent every shade of public opinion. An address which Field delivered to the Agricultural Society of New South Wales, as its president, on July 3, 1823, provoked a printed letter "in refutation of the groundless assertions put forth by him to the prejudice of Van Diemen's Land," by a colonist named Thomas Kent, who claimed a residence of ten years in the latter colony. Field's intimacy with Charles Lamb is twice shown in the "Essays of Elia." He was the friend with the initials of "B. F.," who accompanied Lamb and his sister on their visit to "Mackery End in Hert fordshire," and to him when resident at»Sydney was addressed under his initials the essay entitled "Distant Correspondents." Field returned "plump and friendly, and he resumed his practice at the bar, but was again driven, through want of busi ness into applying for a legal position in the colonies. His next appointment was to the chief-justiceship at Gilbraltar, where Benjamin Disraeli called on him in 1830, and has left a disparaging account of his manners. He is pronounced "a bore and vulgar, a Storks without breeding; consequently I gave him a lecture on canes, which made him stare, and he has avoided me ever since — a noisy, obtrusive, jar- gonic judge, ever illustrating the obvious, explaining the evident, and expatiating on the commonplace;" but these harsh expressions of the young man of fashion must be contrasted with the liking of friends, like Crabb Robinson, who had seen many classes of men. Some years later Field retumed home and withdrew from the active duties of his profession. He died without issue at Meadfoot House, Torquay, April II, 1846. His widow, Jane, daughter of Mr. Carncroft, died at Wimbledon, in 1878, aged eighty-six. In Lamb's opinion she was "really a very superior woman," and on her retum from Gilbraltar he honored her with an acrostic. Field's analysis of Blackstone's "Commentaries," which was published in i8n, was frequently reprinted, and so lately as 1878 was included in an edition of Black stone's which was published by George Sharswood at Philadelphia. The year after hewas called tothe bar he issued, under the disguise of "By a Barrister," a little pamphlet of "Hints to Witnesses in Courts of Justice," 1815, which contained some practical advice on the advantages of answering clearly and directly the questions of counsel His "First Fruits of Australian Poetry," consisting of two pieces entitled "Botany Bay Flowers" and "The Kangaroo," was printed for private distribution in i8ig, during his residence at Sydney, and was reviewed by Charles Lamb in Leigh Hunt's Examiner, of Jan. 16, 1820, the review being printed in R. H. Shepherd's "Complete Works in Prose and Verse of Lamb" (1875), pp. 768-g, and in 38 586 FIELD GENEALOGY. "Mrs. Liecester's School," etc. (Canon Ainger's ed.), pp. 135-7. On his return to England, in 1825, he edited a volume of "Geographical Memoirs on New South Wales, by various hands." In the main portion of this work were comprised two articles by him (i) "On the Aborigines of New Holland and Van Diemen's Land," pp. 195-229; (2) "On the Rivers of New South Wales," pp. 29g-3i2, but the appendix contains six more of his papers, including the narratives of his voyages and the "First Fruits of Australian Poetry," the latter being slightly augmented since their first appearance. His prose passed muster, but his verse did little credit to his liter ary abilities, and exposed him to an epigram with the obvious taunt that they were the products of a "barren field. ' ' Another legal tract of his composition was passed through the press in 1828; it was called "A Vindication of the Practice of not Allowing the Counsel for Prisoners Accused of Felony to make Speeches for them." After his final settlement in England he edited for the Shakspeare Society (i) The "First and Second Parts of King Edward IV. Histories," by Thomas Heywood, 184a; (2) "The True Tragedy of Richard the Third, to which is appended the Latin play of "Richardus Tertius," by Dr. Thomas Legge, 1844; (3) "The Fair Maid of the Exchange, a Comedy," by Thomas Heywood; and "Fortune by Land and Sea, a Tragic Comedy," by Thomas Heywood and William Rowley, 1846. The study of Heywood's writings was Field's chief pleasure, and it was his intention to have completed the publication of all his works and to have written his memior. He prefixed an introduction, signed "B. P.," to the "Memoirs of James Hardy Vaux, a Swindler and Thief, now transported to New South Wales for the second time and for life." which originally appeared in 1819, was included in Hunt and Clarke's series of autobiographies (vol. xiii for 1827), and was reissued, in 1830. Field wrote in the Reflector numerous pieces (signed with three daggers), of which the most remarkable are the communications from a "Student of the Inner Temple," consist ing of anecdotes on bench and bar ; he contributed a short but excellent memoir of Charles Lamb to the "Annual Biography and Obituary" of 1836, and he wished to undertake a life of Wordsworth, but the poet begged him to refrain. Three letters to him are among Lamb's correspondence ; one from him to Leigh Hunt is printed in the latter's correspondence, and he is occasionally mentioned in Crabb Robin son's "Diary," which also contains (iii. 246-8) one of his letters to Robinson, written from Torquay in 1844.

He married, in 1841, Anne, daughter of Edward Barron, of Northiam, in Sussex. Charles Lamb, in one of his letters to Bernard Barton, while humorously recording his neglect of some of the detaUs of social life, says: "All the time I was at the East India House 1 never mended a pen. When I write to a great man at the court end, he opens with surprise upon a naked note such as Whitechapel people interchange, with no sweet degree of envel ope. I never enclose one bit of paper in another, nor understood the rationale of it. Once only I sealed with borrowed wax, to set Sir Walter Scott a-wandering, signed with the Imperial quartered arms of England, which my friend Field bears in compliment to his descent in the female line from Oliver Cromwell. It must have set his antiquarian curiosity upon watering." (Talfourd's Life and Letters of Lamb.) He d. Nov. 5, 1857. Res. 88 Chester '.Place, Regents Park, London, England.

HENRY WILLIAM FIELD (John, John, John, Thomas, Henry, John, John, John, Richard, William, WiUiam, Thomas), b. March 23, 1803. He was for fifty-one years an able servant of the Crown at the Royal Mint, and about twenty-eight years ago (1872) retired to his estate of Minster Lodge, on the banks of the Thames. near Teddlngton. He entered the mint at the age of sixteen, at the time of Lord Marlborough's Mastership, and assisted at the great recoinage then in progress. The chemical skill which he inherited from his father eventually found fuller scope when, in 1850, he succeeded to the office of Queen's Assay-Master (an ancient appel lation subsequently disused). This was also the period of Sir John Herschell's appointment to the Mastership, marking an economical crisis in the history of that establishment, which was long remembered as "the revolution of '51." In the laboratory Mr. Field was ever Sir John's able auxiliary, more especially when it was resolved to establish and apply more incontrovertible tests to the qual ity of bullion devoted to coinage. The scientific details of Mr. Field's new system of working the essays cannot here be displayed, it must suffice to say they received Herschell's emphatic approbation. A parting message, which came from his old friend many years after, will form a suitable voucher. "I am suffering," says Sir John, "under an attack of bronchitis, which nas lasted me all the winter, so exces sively severe that I can hardly hold the pen, which must excuse the brevity of this, and being now in my eightieth year, I can hope for no relief. I shall retain, how ever, to the last a pleasing recollection of aid and support 1 received from you dur ing the period of my administration of the mint. As I know you will believe me ever my dear sir, yours most truly, J. P. W. Herschell." Mr. Field, in 1840, mar ried Anna, daughter of T.

If Edwin Field was not a statesman in the popular sense, he was the stimulat ing agent in bringing about many reforms for which professed statesmen have reaped the credit. Yet neither was he a law-reformer only ; he was a man of unbounded sympathies, and his Cromwellian energy was combined with versatile capacity. Born at Leam, near Warwick, Oct. 12, 1804, and educated at his father's school, he was articled March 19, 1821, to Taylor and Roscoe, of Kings Bench Walk, in the Temple. He was admitted attorney and solicitor in the Michaelmas term, 1825. He joined his fellow-clerk, William Sharpe, to form the firm of Sharpe & Field, in Broad street, Cheapside, but in 1835 Taylor, who was then alone, took Sharpe and Field into partnership with him. The office of the firm was long in Bedford Row, but was subsequently removed to Lincoln's Inn Fields. "I remem ber as if it were yesterday," says he in afterlife, "my good old father's wistful look as he left me there. That look has stood me in fast stead many a time since." His first action in life was to repay that father the expenses incurred in his outsetting. The father refused, but the pious dexterity of the son continued to fulfill the inten tion. This generous impulse was the animus which pervaded all his subsequent schemes. His object was to make the practice of the law square with consciences as upright and scrupulous as his own. To become a law-reformer was therefore with him a moral necessity, and to see those reforms carried to a triumphant issue was but the fair reward of one who thought it more heroic to abolish abuses than to run away from them. His first essays in the Legat Observer had reference to the law respecting marriages abroad between English subjects within the prohibited degrees. This was in 1840; but his grand attack during the same year was directed against the Court of Chancery, and the Six-Clerks and Sworn Clerks Office in par ticular. Lords Brougham and Cottenham had begun to clear the ground, but the crisis was not precipitated until Mr. Field led the public voice. Details cannot be enlarged on here, but the judgment of contemporaries may establish the verdict FIELD GENEALOGY. 589 Spence, in his "Equity Jurisprudence," says: "To Mr. Field's exertions, enforced by Mr. Pemberton, the Court of Chancery, is in great part indebteded for the late - improvements." John Wainewright, formerly one of the sworn clerks, and later (1879), taxing-master, says in a letter written since Mr. Field's death, that his friend was "the first person who practically brought about; this change. " And Robert Bagley FoUett also a taxing-master, says: "I always considered the abolition of the Six-Clerks Office due to E. W. Field." The removal of one monster grievance ensures the fall of many parasitical insti tutions. In 1844 Field was in communication with the Board of Trade, on the sub ject of a winding-up act for joint-stock companies. The act of 1848 substantially embodied the proposals contained in a draft bUl laid before the legal adviser of the Board of Trade on April 27, 1846, by Field and his friend, Rigge, who had formerly been in his office. His views on the question of legal remuneration were practically embodied in the act of 1870. Mr. Field had abundance of work before him ; but success had now energized his arm and inspired his friends with confidence. After the year 1840 there was scarcely a Royal Commission or Parliamentary Committee on Chancery reform or general legal questions before which he was not called upon to g^ve evidence. Extracts from the list of his published writings may serve as an index to his subsequent services. Thus, in the Westminster Review, February, 1843, we have: "Recent and Future Law Reforms," "Judicial Procedure a Single and Inductive Science ;" in the Law Review, August, 1848, "Comparative Anatomy of Judicial Procedure," reprinted in the New York Evening Post. Mr. Field also wrote papers, etc., "On the Right of the Public to form Limited Liability Partner ships, and on the Theory, Practice, and Costs of Commercial Charters," "On the Roots and Evils of the Law," "Economical Considerations on the Autocracy of the Bar, and on the System of Prescribed Tariffs for Legal Wages." A paper was read by him at Manchester in 1857, entitled, "What Should a Minister of Justice Do?" one before the Metropolitan and Provincial Law Association, held in London, 1859, " On Legal Medical and other Prof essional Education." He had also some cor respondence with C. G. Loring, the eminent American advocate, "On the present relations between Great Britain and the United States,'' and "On the Property of Manied Women," published in the Times. Brought up among the English Presbyterians, Mr. Field was not disposed to sit down quietly under the partial legislation which was still enforced against Unita rians under cover of the notorious Lady Henley case, and accordingly, by the Dissenters Chapels Bill of 1844, he upset that legislation forever. This is quickly told, but the struggle while it lasted was arduous, and to many appeared hopeless. Even his constant friend and ally, Crabb Robinson, despaired of attacking en trenched orthodoxy, but a band of resolute men, who for many months sat on the question, de die in diem, had at length a long conference with the Minister Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Field acting as spokesman. Sir Robert though a political op ponent, promptly undertook to make it a government measure ; while the elaborate historical argument with which Mr. Gladstone swayed the Commons on that occa sion was mainly furnished by Mr. Field. It was Field's belief that few schemes would more tend to simplify and quicken legal operations than the concentration of all the courts of justice and offices ot the law into one buUding. For thirty years before the passing of the Courts of Justice Building Act of 1865, he had urged the measure; and when at last a Royal Com mission was issued to obtain and approve a plan upon which the new Courts should be built it was natural that her Majesty should appoint "her trusty and well-beloved Edwin W. Field to be the secretary to the commission." For the arduous duties in this capacity, extending over three years, embracing a thorough mastery of the 590 FIELD GENEALOGY. details of the vast fabrics, preparing instructions for the competing architects, and drawing up elaborate reports, Mr. Field refused all remuneration. But the firm of which he was the head, were appointed by the Board of Works solicitors for acquir ing the new site ; and under his vigorous superintendence a very short time sufficed to clear the ground for an architectural pile, which are not complete without some artistic memorial of the enthusiastic secretary. He was an ardent lover of nature, and of the pictorial renderings by which true poetry alone can apprehend her. Much of the interest which as a member of the Council of University College, he took in that institution, assumed this form, as shown in his co-operating with Henry Crabb Robbinson in the formation of the Flaxman Gallery, and the establishment of the Slade School of Art, in all which, as well as in the legislation which from time to time he put into motion for the further ance of art and its professors, his advice and assistance were spontaneous. "No labor," says he, "that I can ever give on this subject will repay the obligations I am under to art and artists for a great deal of the pleasure of my life. I reverence art. I look upon it as one of the divinest gifts of our nature. Develop a love of art in every way. It will give you new eyes wherewith to draw in and make part of yourself the very beauty of nature and new, undreamt-of capacities for enjoying it It will assuredly improve and elevate your character. Accustomed as he was to be consulted in matters of taste it awoke no suspicion when Mr. T. Cobb, one of his former clerks, asked him one-day what painter he would recommend under the following circumstances: A number of clerks in a London office had subscribed to get the portrait of their master executed in the best style, and it was thought they could not have a better adviser than Mr. Field. After a little further explanation he replied: "Watson Gordon is your man." "But, sir," said Cobb, "Sir Watson paints only in Edinburgh, and we doubt whether his sitter would consent to travel so far." "Then," rejoined Mr. Field, "tell the young men to drag him there. He ought to be proud of such a request." In due time Mr. Field was himself requested to go to Edinburgh and sit to Sir Watson Gordon for a painting to be presented to Mr. Field. "Congratulate me," he wrote to Crabb Robinson, "a hundred of my old clerks have subscribed to have my portrait painted— men 1 have tyrannized over, bullied — taken the praise from, which they really had earned — who knew every bit of humbug in me — no sense of favors to come. Regard from such a body is worth having." The picture is now at the family residence at Squire's Mount, Hamp stead, with the names of the hundred subscribers displayed on the frame. Another characteristic likeness is preserved in a picture painted by his son Walter, a river scene, in which Mr. Field, together with part of his family, is represented in the enjoyment of one of his favorite pursuits — that of boating on the Thames. It hasbeen said of him, that "not Izaac Walton loved his favorite river more than Mr. Field loved the Thames." Like the painter. Turner, he described in its varied aspects suggestive material for boundless poetry ; and in order fully to drink in its influences, he took for holiday purposes a lease of the Mill House, Cleve, near Goring. Yet the Thames became the disastrous scene of his death. On July 30, 1 871, the boat in which he was sailing with two of his clerks, was upset by a gale of wind. One of the party, named EUwood, as well as Mr. Field himself, was a swimmer; the third, who could not swim, was the sole survivor. And all that this survivor could recollect about the affair was that he had at first gone down, but afterwards found himself supported by his two friends, who held on to the boat, and were making for the shore ; that eventually Mr. EUwood sank, and soon afterwards Mr. Field also. Five days later, at the Highgate Cemetery, Edwin Field was laid in a vault, next to that in which sleeps his friend, Henry Crabb Robinson. His age was sixty-seven. The above facts are derived from "A FIELD GENEALOGY. 591 Memorial," drawn up by his friend, Thomas Saddler, Ph. D., and pubUshed by MacmUlan, in 1872, abounding with anecdotes and detaUs of a highly interesting nature, but far too copious for adoption in this place. It may also be here stated that notices of the various members of the Field family wUl be found scattered up and down the biographies of Crabb Robinson, Serjeant Talfourd, and Charles Lamb. 1937- JOHN HAMPDEN FIELD (WiUiam, John, John, Thomas, Henry, John, John, John, Richard, WUliam, WiUiam, Thomas), b.

July 7, 1846, Sarah Martin, b. Oct. aa, 1814. Algernon Sydney Field, son of the Rev. William Field, of Leam, near War wick, and a descendant of the Protector Oliver Cromwell, was born on Feb. aa, 1813, more than two years before the battle of Waterloo, and is now at the age of nearly eighty-seven years, a vigorous and active man in mind and body. He has lived a stirring and active life, has witnessed many great changes in the course of it, and now enjoys a calm and peaceful old age, surrounded by many relations and friends, and possessing the confidence and respect of the whole of his native county of Warwick. 692 FIELD GENEALOGY. Born at a time when railways were unknown, when telegraphs weie unheard of, and telephones and Atlantic cables were things of the distant future, nothing is more interesting than to hear him recount some of his early exper iences, ot traveling as an outside passenger on a winter's night on a stage coach before "railway rugs" had been thought of; of journeying to London by post chaise by night, transacting a long day's work in London, and posting down to Warwickshire all the next night ; of seeing the streets of Warwick illuminated for the first time with that then wonderful new light, "gas;" and many similar stories of the good old days. He was articled at an early age to his brother, Edwin Wil kins Field, a solicitor of London, and soon to become known as one of the ablest of London lawyers, and largely instrumental in getting the Law Courts — the Royal Palace of Justice — established in the Strand against the then existing Temple Bar. Old London Bridge was still standing when Sydney Field was an articled pupil, and many a time he undertook the hazardous feat of "shooting the bridge" in a wherry when the tide was at full flood. The water of the Thames was then so pure that he and his young companions used regularly to bathe in it in the early summer mornings. He well remembers attending a lecture at Leamington by a somewhat celebrated scientist, Dr. Lardner (a contributor to the first edition of the Encyclo pedia Brittanica), when the lecture proved "Conclusively" that it was impossible that a steamship should ever be able to steam across the Atlantic! It may be men tioned that the engines of the "Great Westem," the first steamship to cross the Atlantic, were built by the firm of Messrs. Maudesley Field & Co., of which Mr. Sydney Field's cousin, Joshua Field, was a member. On the completion of his studies in London, Sydney Field, in the year 1834, commenced practice as a solicitor in the then small but fashionable and quickly growing town of Leamington, near his native town of Warwick. His abilities, his energy, and his sterling character quickly seevired him a large and successful prac tice; in 1841 he wasappointed clerk to the justices ofthe Kenilworth Division of Warwickshire, an important post that he held with much credit till the year 1877, when he was succeeded by iiiS son. In 1846'he married Sarah Martin, of Edgbas ton, Birmingham, a descendant of the (51d Royalistfamily of the Rouses of Rous Lench in Worcestershire, by whom he had three sons and two daughters, and in 1852 he removed to the charming new. house he had built at Blackdown Hill, near Leamington, where he and his wife still reside.. For some years past Mr. Sydney Field has taken no active part in politics, but in his earlier life he was an enthusiastic Whig, and acted as political agent for the Earl of Camperdown (then Lord Duncan), and twice for Sir Robert Hamilton Bart; in their candidatures as member of Parliament for Warwickshire. Mr. Field is most widely known as the able and most efficient clerk of the peace of Warwickshire, the highest position to which a country solicitor can hope to attain. To this post he was appointed in the year 1874, by the Lord Lieutenant of the county. Lord Leigh ; and to the important duties of the office have since been added, by the county government act of 1888, the duties of clerk to the county councU. That the subject of this memoir has performed all the arduous work that these offices entail with credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of the county authorities was amply demonstrated by the enthusiasm shown at a large and repre sentative gathering of county magistrates and members of the county council in the county hall at Warwick, July 13, i8g6, when they took the occasion of the celebra tion of Mr. and Mrs. Field's golden wedding to present them with a magnificent set of silver-gilt bowls and spoons, accompanied with an illuminated address setting forth their appreciation of his practical wisdom, ripe experience, full legal knowl edge, sound judgment, and unvarying industry.

Alfred Field, born at Leam, Leamington; was the son ofthe Rev. William Field, of Leam, Leamington, England, who was the grandson of John Field, of Newgate, who married Ann CromweU, great-great-granddaughter of Oliver Crom well, the protector. He was a merchant in Birmingham, England, and New York. He lived for sixteen years of his life in New York City, where he married an Eng lish lady, who had emigrated to America. He was always very much interested in the Abolitionist cause, and in the days of- the John Brown riot, though taking no active part, he concealed weapons in his warehouse for those who were interested and taking an active part. Amongst his most intimate friends were Frederick Law Olmstead, the well-known landscape gardener, and William CuUen Bryant, the poet — the famUies continuing intimate friendship with both these families atthe present time. He went to England to live in 1853, though he continued some time after that to make frequent visits to to the United States, always retaining a very active interest in the affairs of this country. He was for some years chairman of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, and in this capacity, when visiting the United States in the year 1867, he acted as a deputation from the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce to various American cities, and was received, together with his family, by President Andrew Johnson. He had much to do with the supply of wire for the first Atlantic cable, which he arranged in conjunction with his friend, Cyrus W. Field. He was always very much interested in English politics, though not taking a very prominent part, — he was justice of the peace for the Borough of Warwick. He lived at the old famUy home, Leam, Leamington, where he received frequent visits from his American friends when they were in England. He was twice mar- 594 FIELD GENEALOGY. ried; first, in 1842, to Miss Errington, then living in New York, and second, in 1883, to Miss Burt, of London. He d. May 25, 1884. Res. New Vork, N.

Waterloo, Iowa, April 22, 1900. — Matt Parrott, of Waterloo, former state senator and lieutenant-governor, president of the National Editorial Association and one of the foremost men of Iowa for more than twenty years, died of Bright's disease last night at Battle Creek, Mich., where he had gone in the hope of regaining his health. The end was not unexpected. Mr. Parott had been failing for several months. Early in the winter, upon the advice of his physician, he tried the water cures at Colfax and later at Eureka Springs, Ark. Four weeks ago he came home from Eureka Springs and was then taken to the sanitarium at Battle Creek, but the ravages of the disease could not be checked. Mr. Parrott was a native of New York, having been born in Schoharie county. May 11, 1837. He learned the printer's trade in his native town and when a young man came West, and worked in several cities in eastern Iowa, and for some time was an employe in the office of the Chicago Democrat, conducted then by John Wentworth. In 1869 he came to Waterloo and purchased an interest in the Iowa State Reporter, a weekly Republican paper, which he edited since that date, and which is now a part of the daily edition published by himself and his sons, William, Louis and James. In municipal affairs he was prominent and served three terms as mayor of the city, being elected twice without opposition. He was elected state binder of Iowa in 1878, and was re-elected, serv ing until 1885. In 1885 he was elected to the State Senate from the district composed of the counties of Blackhawk and Grundy, and was chosen for a second term in i88g. After his second term as State Senator had expired Mr. Parrott became the Republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, and received the highest vote cast for any candidate on the ticket, being elected with a plurality of 65,000 votes. During his term as Lieutenant-Governor two sessions of the Legislature were held, one of them being the special session, called in i8g7, for revision of the laws of the state. Mr. Parrott was a popular presiding officer of the Senate, always fair and courteous in his treatment of the members and conducting the business in an eminently satisfactory manner. His only reverse in politics was when he became a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor in i8g7. He was the leading candidate up to the hour FIELD GENEALOGY. 599 of the convention, but was defeated by Governor Shaw for the nomination. Mr. Panott had been for several years a member of the State and National Editorial Associations, and at the time of his death was president of the latter, having been unanimously elected at the meeting held at New Orleans, last February. He planned last summer to spend a portion of the present year in Europe, and had made all arrangements for the trip abroad when he was taken sick. Early in March he was appointed by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson as the representative of the United States govemment to investigate the agricultural conditions of France. Many messages of condolence have been received, including telegrams from Senator Allison and Speaker Henderson. Frances M. Field, youngest daughter of Isaac Newton and Martha Fay Field, born in YpsUanti, Mich., Sept 19, 1841; was educated at State Normal School in that place; married Matt Parrott, in the city of Davenport, Iowa, Oct. 25, 1859; removed to Anamosa, Iowa, where Mr. Parrott was publishing a news paper, the Anamosa Eureka ; lived there three years, when she moved to Morris, 111., remaining but a few months, and then going again to Davenport, Iowa, where she lived six years. In February, 1869, removing to Waterloo, where she now resides. She is a communicant of Christ Episcopal church. Three sons and one daughter were born to Mr. and Mrs. Parrott. The daughter died in infancy. The sons, William Field, Louis Gil bert and James Sears, were associated with their father in the firm of Matt Parrott & Sons, publishers DaUy Iowa State Reporter and blank book manufacturers and printers. 3579. iv.
