INTRODUCTION.

Some years ago Dr. and Mrs. A. N. Brockway
of New York, W. I/. Brockway, also of New York,
and the Hon. Beman" Brockway, of Watertown, N. Y.
were engaged jointly or severally, in gathering records
for a genealogy of the Brockway family, and I was
invited by one or more of them to contribute - the
records of the branch to which I belong, and was
compelled to plead ignorance. Disliking to remain
under the imputation of not knowing anything of my
ancestry, I employed Mr. D. Williams Patterson, of
Newark Valley, to make some investigations and
show me in which branch I belonged. On re
ceiving his report, I invited my relatives to join me in
making a complete genealogy of the family, but each
preferred to take care of his own "knitting work."
In January, 1887, the Hon. Beman Brockway
published a pamphlet of twenty-two pages, contain
ing the result of his studies, and intimating that one
of the other parties might also print a collection of
records at some future time. I decided to put my col
lection in print as an encouragement to our cousins,
and to make sure that the records should not be lost
or scattered. As the family grows, there may be a
chance for each member to compile and print a
genealogy for himself. "So mote it be."

BROCKWAY -FAMILY,
FIRST GENERATION.

WOLSTON BROCKWAY, the progenitor of the
New England family bearing his name, was probably
born in some part of England, not far from 1638. In
a deposition made by him 10 July 1714, and recorded
in Lyme, his age is stated at ' 'seventy years or there
abouts," and he stated that he had dwelt in Lyme
for fifty years past ; but there are indications that
both his age and the length of his residence in Lyme
were placed too low. He bought land with a house
and barn thereon, of John Reynolds, both of Say
brook, Conn., 3 December 1659, the land being
described as "one ye eastsid of ye riuer ouer against
ye towne of Saybrooke," and the consideration, ^20
sterling. The natural inference is that he was of full
age when he made this purchase, and that he settled
at once in his new house, and that would fix the date
of his birth about 1638, and make his residence in
Lyme to cover nearly fifty-five years, in July 17 14.
His first home in Lyme was probably on Duck River,
at some distance south of the present village of Lyme,
and near Long Island Sound.
A highway laid out 24 March 1698-99, is described
as follows : "The highway on the Southward side of
Duck riuer is as follows : First, the highway from
Wolston Brockway's Landing place is four rods wide,

FIRST GENERATION

the landing place being in length from said highway,
southwest ten rods and a half to a stub' ' etc. This
road passed the "planting field" and thence to "Black
Hall river." Between Smith' sNeck and the planting
field it passed Thomas Champion's house, Richard
Smith's yard, Edward Lay's land and William Brock
way's corner. In 1675 he sold to Isaac Watterus of
Lyme, a piece of land in "the planting field,"
bounded northerly by the lands of the said Isaac, and
easterly by the Black Hall river. In this deed he
was styled Planter. See Lyme deeds Vol. I, p. 66.
On the 9th of February 1676-77, in a deed to Richard
Smith he was styled Cooper. He sold land 29 April,
1682 to Christopher Christophers of New London, des
cribing it as "all of my land purchased of John Rey
nolds, in the neck of land commonly called Black
Point," twenty acres of upland and three and a half
of meadow. He and wife Hannah, by deed dated 13
March 1707-08, gave their homestead to their sou,
Richard Brockway, with reservation during their
lives, and a stipulation that he should pay ^15 to his
brother, John Brockway, on their death. In a deed
to his youngest son, John Brockway, 5 September
17 16, conveying five acres of land near Flat Rock
Hill, he again styled himself Cooper.
He was frequently elected to some office in the
town. As hayward, 13 Feb. 1676-77 ; fence-viewer,
24 Sept. 1677 and 9 Dec. 1679 ; hayward, 29 Dec.
1684; and pound-keeper on the same date; surveyor, 27
Nov. 1689 and 16 Dec. 1690: fence-viewer, Dec. 1690,
14 Dec. ,1697, 15 Dec. 1698 and 15 Dec. 1701. He
was elected constable 18 Dec. 1699, but refused to
serve. He owned land at Tantum Morantum, near
what is now Brockway's Ferry, as early as 1 Feb.
1702-3, at which date he bought forty acres of land
there of Rev. Moses Noyes, which was already in
Brockway's possession, but it is not known that he
lived there. His ear-mark for cattle, recorded at
Lyme 1 June, 16— was afterward transferred to his
grandson, William Brockway, Jr.

BROCKWA Y FA MIL Y.

The townsmen of Lyme, 27 Aug. 1688, assessed
him as "Walstone Brockway," as follows :
"3 persons,  60 00 00
' 'house and Lands  02 00 00
"2 Oxen, two Cowes  16 00 00
"1 : 3 yerling 5 : 2 yeiiings . . 12 10 00
" 1 Mare 2 hogs 12 sheep . ... 13 00 00
^103 10 00"
The tax on this amount was £0: 8: 7^. See
the New England Historical and Genealogical
Register, Vol. XXXIV, pp. 379 to 381.
He married with Hannah BrigGS, widow of John
Harris of Boston, Mass, with whom she married 10
September, 1657.* She was born at Boston, 28 Au
gust, 1642, daughter of William and Mary Briggs. f
She died at Lyme, 6 February, 1687-88. He married
with a second wife whose name was Hannah, but her
maiden name has not been found. He gave his land
to his children during his life. Perhaps the latest
deed was to his daughter, Hannah Wade, dated 16
May, 1717, giving her certain personal property, to
take efiect on the death of himself and wife.
He died not long before 11 November 1717, at
which date his son, Richard Brockway, was granted
administration on his estate. Probably his widow
died before 7 April, 1719, at which date the adminis
trator reported that he had paid debts and charges,
amounting to ^"24 : 1 : 7, and that £1 : 13 : 8, re
mained for distribution. The court ordered that the
eldest son should have a double portion, 6.?. , each of
the other seven children 3J. and 3^. to the children of
Wolston Brockway, Jr. , deceased, and 3.5-. to the chil
dren of Mary Mott, deceased. He was probably buried
in Duck River cemetery in the village of Old Lyme.
* The date of the death of John Harris has not been found.
He left one son, John Harris, born at Boston, 8 August, 1658, who
lived at Lyme.
t John Briggs, the father of Mrs. Brockway, lived most of his
life in Boston ; but he bought land in Lyme, 27 October 1680, of
his son-in-law, Wolston Brockway, and sold the same to his son,
John Briggs, 15 February, 1680-81, "with the frame of a house there
on standing, which I purchased of John Lareby." Before 1685 he
had returned to Boston.

^Children ofWolston and Hannah (Briggs) Brockway:
I. HANNAH BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme, Conn.,
14 Sept. 1664, [not 24 Sept. as others have read it ] ;
married there 23 Aug. 1682, with Thomas Champion,
who was born at Saybrook, Conn., in April 1656,
son of Henry and Deborah Champion. He, died at
Lyme in 1705. She married (2d) with John Wade,
and as "my daughter, Hannah Wade, of Lyme,''
received a deed from her father 16 May 1717, convey
ing to her certain personal property, on the death of
himself and wife.
II. WILLIAM BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme, Conn.,
25 July 1666 ; married there 8 March 1692-93, with
Elizabeth  . Gregory Wilterton, of
Hartford, Conn., by his will of 1674, gave him a leg
acy °f ^10, in consideration of which his father
deeded land to him in 1709. He settled at Brockway' s
Ferry, in that part of Lyme to which Joshua, the son
of Uncas, gave the name of Joshuatown ; and died
there 29 March 1755, in the 89th year of his age, as
testified by his grave stone, still legible in the family
cemetery at that place. His wife, it is said, was bur
ied by his side, but no stone is there to tell the date.
His father deeded land to him at Tantum Moran turn,
(Joshuatown) 8 June 1697, Lyme Records II, 302!
On this land he probably settled. At the May session
in 1724, the General Court granted to him, in con-

nection with William Pratt, who lived on the west
side of Connecticut river, the right to keep a ferry,
which is still known as Brockway's Ferry. He
signed a paper, 7 Dec. 1724, relating to ecclesiastical
matters in Lyme, North Quarter, now Hamburgh.
III. WOLSTON BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme,
Conn., 7 Feb. 1667-68 ; married there 4 Dec. 1688,
with Margaret  . His ear-mark for cattle
was recorded at Lyme, 19 May 1696, and he died there
early in 1707. Letters of administration on his estate
were granted to his widow, 4 June 1707, and the estate
was distributed 17 March 1713-14. She married (2d)
at Lyme, 7 Feb. 1710-11, with Thomas Ennis, and

16 Jan. 1669-70 ; married there 6 April 1692, with
Samuel Mott, of Lyme, and they had a gift of land

which town clerk, Joseph Peck, was in the habit of
using for Mary.
V. BRIDGET BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme, Conn.,
9 Jan. 1671 [1671-72].^ The copy in Register, Vol.
23, p. 427, has the month July, which is erroneous.
Beman Brockway's pamphlet says she married in
1 7 14, with Jonathan Beebe. If so she must have
been his second wife. Bridget, wife of Jonathan
Beebe, died in East Haddam, Conn., 6 April 1756,
aged eighty-six years. , according to her gravestone.
VI. RICHARD BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme, Conn., 33

to Richard Brockway, 13 March 1707-08, provided
that Richard should pay ^15 to John Brockway, on
the death of their father. He was probably the son
of the first wife, but it is possible that the second
wife was his mother.

Children of William and Elizabeth Brockway : 3
12 I. WILLIAM BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme, Conn., 58
26 Dec. 1693 > married there 3 Oct. 1716, with
Prudence Pratt. See the Pratt Genealogy, p. 170.
She was daughter of Capt. William and Hannah Kirt
land Pratt, of Saybrook, Conn., where she was born
11 March 1685-86. He died at Brockway's Ferry, in
Lyme, 4 Dec. 1774, in the eighty-first year of his age,
and was buried there in the Brockway cemetery. She
died 7 April 1760, aged seventy-one years, and was
buried at Brockway's Ferry, where her grave stone is
yet legible. William Brockway married [Lyme First
Church record] 10 Nov. 1760, with Mrs. Susanna
Tinker, both of Lyme. William Brockway, Jr.,
signed a paper relating to the inability of the people
to call and support a minister in the North Quarter
of Lyme, 7 Dec. 1724. Two years later a church
was formed there, now the church at Hamburgh.
x3 II. JOHN BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme, Conn., 10 61
May 1697 : married there 1 March 1727, with
• Elizabeth Banning, who was born about 1705.
She died at Brockway's Ferry, in Lyme, 26 April
1738, in her thirty- third year, and was buried there
in the Brockway cemetery. He married (2d), at
Lyme, 22 March 1739, with Sarah Scovil, of Say
brook, who was born about 1708. She died 12 June
1770, in her sixty-second year, and was buried in the

io THIRD GENERATION

family cemetery at Brockway's Ferry. She was a
large, resolute woman, and tradition says that her
husband once went hunting, and on his return, with
out game, found that she had caught two deer on the
smooth ice, cut their throats, and drawn them home.
He married (3d) with a widow Avery. He bore the
military title of lieutenant. He died 27 Nov. 1777,
in the eighty-first year of his age, and was buried in
the tamily cemetery at Brockway's Ferry. He also
signed the paper, 7 Dec. 1724, relating to ecclesiasti
cal matters in Lyme North Quarter.
14 III. RICHARD BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme, Conn., 69
11 Sept. 1699 ; married, probably, with Deborah
Reed. He settled near the First Church in Lyme,
and was probably a member of it, but the loss of the
early records makes the proof difficult. Mr. Charles
Hallam Brockway furnished the names of his chil
dren, as we have given them. Possibly he had a
wife Bridget, as a grave-stone at Brockway's Ferry
seems to show that Thomas Brockway, son of Capt.
Richard and Mrs. Bridget Brockway, died 16 Sept,
1742, in his third year. A pair of small stones, near
those of Thomas, bear no inscription except R. B. ,
and may mark the grave of another child of Richard
Brockway. Richard - Brockway was one of the sign
ers of the Lyme North Quarter paper 7 Dec. 1724.

Conn., 2 March 1701-02.

which bears the inscription "R. B.," and nothing
more. It may have been Rachel or Ruth.

Children of Ebenezer and Sarah (Buckingham) Brockway :
^ 1. EBENEZER BROCKWAY, b. at Saybrook,
Conn., 16 Jan. 1735-36. He was distinguished from
the other Ebenezer Brockways, by being called
"Winking Nezer," as a weakness of his eyes caused
a habit of winking.

Charles Hallam Brockway, in 1883, as having lived
there about 181 3.

Children of Samuel and

¦ Brockway :

I WOLSTON BROCKWAY was born about 1723;
perhaps at Lyme, Conn. ; perhaps at Branford, Conn.,
and he may be that Wolston Brockway who was bap
tized at the First Church in Lyme, 13 June 1731, and
no record made of his parents' names, but that suppo
sition is made improbable by the fact that he was
baptized in manhood. He married, in 1744, with
Dorcas Weeden or Wheden, of Branford, and set
tled in Sharon, Conn., about 1750. Their home
stead is still occupied by their descendents. It lies in
the south part of the town, bordering on Kent, and
is about one mile from the west line of Connecticut.
A Congregational church was formed about two miles
from his house, at what is now called Amenia Union,
just on the State line, about the fall of 1759, and in
this church he and his wife were publicly baptized,
16 Nov. 1760. A modern observer, who should com-

pare the farm on which he settled, on the south end
of Sharon mountain, with one that was offered to
him at the same price, in the beautiful Oblong Val
ley, in the adjoining town of Amenia, N. Y., might
wonder what influenced his choice.
II. TIMOTHY BROCKWAY, b. at Branford,
Conn. ; married with Mercy  . He settled at
Sharon and died there before 10 Nov. 1759, at which
date his widow, Mercy Brockway, had their three
children baptized. She was probably that Mercy
Brockway who married at Sharon, 11 March 1760, in
the evening, with Ashbel Goodrich.
78 III. JEREMIAH BROCKWAY is the name which
tradition gives as one of this household, and it is said
that he dwelt in the Oblong Valley, in Amenia, N. Y. ,
but no records have been found which refer to him.

have been that child of Ephraim Brockway, who died
21 April 1733, according to the First Church record,
which does not give the child's name.
III. MARGARET BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme,

REV. THOMAS BROCKWAY, A. M.

He died July 5th, A. D., 1807,

i in the 36 Year of his ministry

\ As an Husband he was tender,

As a minister of Christ
he shunned not to declare
all the counsel of God,
and was wise in turning men
to righteousness.
Be thou faithful unto death
and I will give thee
a crown of life. Rev. Ild ioth."
The following account of his ministry is copied
from pages 14 to 18, of a pamphlet entitled The ijolh
Anniversary of the organization of the Congregation
al Church, in Columbia, Conn, Oct. 24, 1866, and it
follows the history of the pastorate of the Rev.
Eleazar Wheelock, D. D.
"A little more than two years and the fourth pas
tor was settled, Rev. Thomas Brockway. Mr. Brock
way was born in Lyme, in the year 1744. He was
graduated at Yale College in 1768.
" In January, 1772, he received a call to settle over
this church and society. The terms of the settlement
were as follows: 'Voted to give Mr. Thomas Brock
way two hundred pounds settlement, one hundred to
be paid at the end of the first year, and fifty pounds
at the end of each of the two following years.
Also, to give him ninety pounds salary, and to get
him as many cords of wood yearly, at six shillings a
cord as he desires, not exceeding thirty cords, to be
reducted out of the above ninety pounds. '
"He was ordained the 24th of June, 1772. The
Wednesday previous was observed as a day of fasting
and prayer with reference to the occasion. A person
was chosen in behalf of the church and society to re
turn thanks to the Reverend Council for their assist
ance in ordaining Mr. Brockway. The ministers in
vited on the Council were, Rev. Messrs. Solomon
Williams, of Lebanon; Timothy Stone, of Goshen;
Joseph Huntington, of South Coventry; Benjamin
Pomeroy, of Hebron; Samuel Lockwood, of An
dover; George Beckwith and Stephen Johnson. The
sermon was preached by Rev. Stephen Clark, of
Kensington, from 2 Cor. 4, 1, which, in accordance
with a vote of the society, was published.

BROCKWA Y FAMIL Y.

27

' ' The earliest Church Records of any extent, are
in the handwriting of Mr. Brockway, commencing
with his settlement. When he began his ministry,
the church consisted of sixty-nine members; thirty-
two males, and thirty-seven females. He was with
this people during the troublous times of war, when
the life of some of our churches, as well as of many of
our noble-hearted patriots, was put in jeopardy. He
was ready to share with his people in their pecuniary
struggles, proposing 'to give in fifteen pounds a year
till the enemy withdrew, and ten pounds a year till
the Continental debt be paid.' But this was not
enough. As soon as the news of the burning of New
London reached this place, 'he started off with his
long gun and deacons and parishioners to assist in
doing battle with the enemy. '
' ' The seasons of special religious interest during
his ministry will be noticed in his own words, taken
from an account published near the close of his life in
April 1803, in the Connecticut Evangelical Magazine.
' Compared with other accounts, I have little to say,
yet on the score of sovereign grace, and the almighty
power of the Divine Spirit in subduing the sinner, I
have much to say. I can bear the same testimony
with those that have labored in a larger field that
with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plen
teous redemption.'
"One still remains with us who was a subject of
that revival of 1801, and united with the church that
year, whose wife, — also a subject and uniting with
the church then, — has passed away during the pres
ent year. Thirty-five were added to the church as
the fruits of that revival. The whole number admit
ted to the church during Mr. Brockway's ministry
was one hundred and thirty-nine, of whom twenty-
nine were by letter.
' 'Having been ill, and not able to preach for a few
weeks, he went to Lyme, his native place, for the
benefit of his health, and there he died suddenly on
the night of the fourth of July, 1807. His body was

brought to Columbia, and on Monday the sixth, the
funeral was attended by a large concourse of people.
The sermon was preached by Rev. Zebulon Ely, of
Lebanon, from Hebrews 13: 7, 8.
' ' His pastorate was just the same number of years
as Dr. Wheelock's, thirty-five. He died at the age
of sixty-two, and you read upon his tombstone in
yonder cemetery, 'As an husband, he was tender; as
a father, affectionate; and as a friend, sincere. As a
minister of Christ he shunned not to declare all the
counsel of God, and was wise in turning men to
righteousness. '
' 'Mr. Brockway married Eunice Lathrop, of Nor
wich, Dec. 18, 1772. They had thirteen children,
three sons and ten daughters; two of whom, a son
and daughter, are buried by the side of the father.
Mrs. Brockway died in I823.
" He published an epic poem, entitled ' The Gospel
Tragedy,' in 1795; a sermon on 'Virtue its own
rewarder,' in 1795; and one at the ordination of
Rev. Bezaleel Pinneo, in Milford, Oct. 26, 1796, from
Colossians 1: 26, 27."

VI. EZRA BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme, Conn.,

he, and born in 1766. He married with Margaret
Banning, daughter of Johnawt (Butler) Banning, of
Hadlyme, in Lyme, where she was born about 1762.

Susquehanna River, at a place called Susquehanna,
Penn. , but whether in Dauphin Co. , near Harrisburg,
or at some place in the county of Bradford, or the
county of Susquehanna, is an undecided question.
She died about December 1808, or January 1809,
either at Susquehanna, Penn., or at Stephentown, N.
Y., aged nearly thirty-two years. In a letter to his
daughter some years later, he describes her as ' 'the per- .
fection of feminine form, ' ' and others have often refer

N. Y., with Elizabeth Halsey, daughter of Silas and
Mercy (Bugsbee) Halsey. She was born about July
1792. They dwelt in Troy till the early part of 1824,
then settled in Lisle, N. Y., where he bought a farm
of four hundred acres, and engaged in farming, lum
bering, trading, and tavern-keeping. He was post
master at Lisle from 19 Aug. 1829 to 1 April 1834.
The tavern whieh he kept stood opposite the present
railway station in Lisle, and was burned some years
after his death, and the loss of his family record in
that fire has made it hard to obtain facts. He was a
man of unusual personal beauty and suavity of manner,
and a favorite with all who made his acquaintance.
About January 1833, his business required him to
spend the night at Binghamton, N. Y., and the tav
ern-keeper put him in a bed with damp sheets, which
gave him rheumatism, ending in neuralgia of the
heart, which after twenty mouths of acute suffering,
caused his death 30 Sept. 1834. He possessed great
force and energy, with strong and tender affections,
and deep religious convictions. His widow married
(2d) with  French, of Lisle. She died 21
Oct. 1869, aged seventy-seven years and three months.

' "DIODATE BROCKWAY,
was born Dec. 29, 1776, at Columbia, Windham
county, Conn. His father, Rev. Thomas Brockway,
a native of Lyme, Conn., graduated at Yale in 1768,
was pastor of the Congregational Church in Columbia,
then a Parish in the town of Lebanon, and died
there, July 5th, 1807. His wife was Eunice Lathrop

428

of Norwich, who became the mother of thirteen chil
dren, ten daughters and three sons. After the death
of her husband, she removed with her son, Lathrop
Brockway, to Clinton, Oneida county, N. Y., and
there died Sept. 16th, 1823. 'She was a devoted
ly pious woman, and died in the triumphs of faith. ' '
' 'Diodate Brockway spent his childhood in Columbia.
He says: 'I recollect well — and it is among my earliest
reminiscences — the stir that was made in my native
village by the news of the burning of New London
by the British in the war of the Revolution. An ex
press brought the news, and I saw my father and some
of his parishioners start for New London with their
guns. ' Diodate prepared for College at a Classical
School in his native place, under a succession of teach
ers, mostly graduates of Yale College.
"During the first six months after he left College,
he taught school at East Haddam Landing ; and
then commenced the study of theology under the di
rection of Rev. Mr. Parsons, of East Haddam ; and
afterwards completed his studies under his father.
He was licensed by the Middlesex Association, and
after a few weeks commenced preaching in Ellington,
Hartford county, Conn. , and was ordained over the
Congregational Church there, Sept. 19, 1799. His
father preached on the occasion upon a stage erected
in the open air. Ellington was then comparatively
a new and unsettled town. Now it is populous, and
one of the pleasantest in the state. There Mr. Brock
way has continued to reside until the present time.
In the month of July, 1804, occurred his memorable
fall from the belfry to the ground floor of his new and
unfinished meeting house. He thus describes the
event. 'I was led by a train pf circumstanes to as
cend the tower. A scaffolding was built around the
dome posts, and taking hold of of a board carelessly
fastened to the dome post with but a single nail, the
board gave way, the nail drawing out, and I fell
backwards inside the building, the distance of sixty-
five feet. It is remarkable, that on the same day,

46

SIXTH GENERATION

heavier men than myself had taken hold of and been
supported by the same board. I remember well the
first thoughts that flashed through my mind when I
found myself falling, I Was aware I must be instantly
killed. I thought of my wife and children, and my
final account. I instinctively caught at the cross
timbers in falling, but in vain. I struck upon a join
er's bench, on the lower floor of the house: one of
my thighs was broken, a severe wound was made in
my head by a nail, and I was taken up for dead. It
was some time before signs of life were discovered.
Through the good providence of God I recovered, but
have ever since been lame. After a partial recovery,
I preached for some time sitting in a chair. It was a
most wonderful escape from instant death, and is ever
to be commemorated by me as a special interposition
of a kind Providence in my behalf. ' Since this
memorable event, Mr. Brockway has not only been
lame, moving with much difficulty, but his general
health has been gradually declining. He says : 'For
the last twenty years of my life, my health has been
so poor that I have scarcely had respite from bodily
suffering. ' He is still the Senior Pastor of the Church
in Ellington, and now has his third colleague, who
he says, is 'an excellent, and talented young man. '
In 1827, Mr Brockway was elected a Fellow of Yale
College, a station which he still fills. During his
ministry he published five occasional sermons ; name
ly, a funeral sermon, a dedication, a missionary, an
election, and a New Years sermon.
"On the 29th of October, 1799, Mr. Brockway was
married to Miss Miranda Hall of Ellington ; who
bore him seven children, and died March 29th, 1824.
He says of her, 'she was a woman endowed with a
high order of intellect, and was gifted with uncommon
discretion, and devotedly pious. She died lamented by
all, and to my grief and irreparable loss. ' Since her
death Mr. Brockway has remained single.
' 'Mr. Brockway says, his 'worldly circumstances are
comfortable, very far below affluence, but above

want. ' He has an excellent housekeeper, jwho has
lived with him forty-four years, and is now more
than seventy years of age. Mr. Brockway
made a public profession of religion at Colum
bia his native place, in 1798. He says : 'Through
life I have indulged a hope that I was a child
of God ; and I think I have earnestly desired
the salvation of sinners, have labored — how feebly
and imperfectly, none better understands than myself
— for that glorious end. 'j. m. ' '
He died at Ellington, 27 Jan. 1849, aged 73. His
wife was born 19 Sept. 1780, and one of her descend
ants gives the date of her death as "21 March 1824,"
in her 44th year.

Medical College, December 1835. He immediately

all his leisure time to the pursuits of natural science.
It became a passion with him. He collected speci

in New England, but devoted more time to the study
of conchology than to any other branch of natural
science. His cabinet contained more than 10,000
specimens of shells." He married 12 Jan 1837, with

married (2d) • 22 Oct. 1855, with Sarah Warner
Wright, who was born 24 June 1816, a cousin of his
first wife, and both were nieces of the late Professor
Warner of Amherst College. The following notice
of him is taken from the Gazetteer of Hampshire
County, Mass., pp. 429-430.
"Beman Brockway was born in i8i5,and spent the
early years of his boyhood upon the paternal home
stead, and in acquiring the art "preservative of arts,"
in the office of the Courier, a newspaper published in
Northampton. But his father was allured to the rich
er lands of Chautauqua county, New York, in 1832,
and he followed him the next year, to be immediately
solicited to undertake the publication of the Sentinel,
a weekly newspaper at Mayville. The enterprise
proved successful financially, and he remained as edi
tor and proprietor eleven years, when he sold the es
tablishment and purchased the Palladium, a weekly
paper at Oswego, which he soon converted into a daily.
He sold the Palladium, in 1853, having been invited
by Horace Greeley to join the editorial staff of the
New York Tribune. There he remained two years.
His duties were laborious, but were performed to the
entire acceptance of Mr. Greeley, who to the close of
his eventful life manifested a strong personal and po
litical friendship for Mr. Brockway. He returned to
Oswego, and in 1858, was elected to the legislature
where he served with distinction and usefulness, es
pecially on questions affecting the canals, and was
mainly instrumental in perfecting and securing the
passage of an efficient law for the registration of
voters. Soon after, he removed to Watertown, re
sumed the profession of editor, and was so engaged
when, in 1865, he was invited by Governor Fenton
to accept the position of private secretary; but the
Governor, who highly appreciated his capacity and
ability, presently tendered him the responsible office
of canal appraiser, the duties of which he discharged
with signal success until the expiration of his term in
1870. In the course of that year he became connected

sixty years. The following resolutions of respect were
adopted by the citizens of Homer 25 October 1889:
First. That in the death of Mr. Brockway, our village has lost
one of its most enterprising business men, whose abilities and tact
have builded in our midst a large, successful and permanent manu
facturing establishment, giving employment to hundreds of labor
ing men, and benefiting and enriching our whole community.
Second. That we recognize in Mr. Brockway's remarkable career
those splendid qualities of pluck, nerve, determination, practical
sagacity, and sterling honor, which won the confidence of business
men in all parts of the United States, triumphed over all obstacles
and layed deeply and firmly the foundations and builded high the
superstructure of a great business establishment in our midst,
which has blessed thousands of our people, and promises much
good in the future.
Third. That our sorrow is intensified by the fact that death has
removed him at the very time when his indomitable energy had
triumphed over all obstacles ; wealth had been accumulated, and
the enjoyment thereof seemed at hand.
Fourth. That we extend to his family our sympathy in their
deep affliction.
Fifth. That as a mark of our respect and admiration for Mr.
Brpckway, and as a token of the gratitude which the people of
this village justly feel toward him, we cause these resolutions to
be printed in the newspapers of our county, and that the president
of this village cause the same to be engrossed, and that he present
them to the family of the deceased.

BROCKWA Y FAMILY.

The following records of the descendants of
;» :> Ephraim Brockway, were partly gathered by Mrs.
Asahel Norton Brockway, of New York, by cor
respondence, and were partly taken from a manuscript
which Mrs. Mary Adele (Brockway) Perrigo, found
among his descendants, in Auburn, N. Y., too late
to take their proper place in the series. It is said that
Ephraim Brockway served as captain of a company
in the war of the Revolution. The order of his chil
dren is wholly conjectural, except in those cases
where dates of birth are given.

BRIGGS RECORDS.
Those persons who are interested in the records of
the family of Wolston Brockway, should feel an equal
interest in the history of the kindred of his wife,
Hannah Briggs, a portion of which is here given.
WILLIAM BRIGGS, and wife, Mary, dwelt in
Boston, as early as 1642; afterward, perhaps, at
Hingham, Mass., for a few years; then again, in

1657, az Boston ; and later, in Lyme, Conn., where
he bought land of his son-in-law, Wolston Brockway,
27 Oct. 1680, which land he sold to his son, John
Briggs, 15 Feb. 1680-81, with the frame of a house
thereon, "which I purchesed of John Lareby."

Children of William and Mary (-

-) Briggs:

I. HANNAH BRIGGS, b. at Boston, Mass., 28
Aug. 1642, and the printed record seems to show
that she was buried on the same day, which must be
an error ; baptized 2 Aug. 1646, by the Rev. Mr.
Hobart, perhaps at Hingham, Mass. ; married at
Boston, 10 Sept. 1657, with John Harris, and with
him, settled at Lyme, Conn. , where he is supposed to
have died. She married (2d) about 1663, with
Wolston Brockway.
II. PETER BRIGGS, birth record not found;
baptized by the Rev. Mr. Hobart, perhaps at Hing
ham, Mass., 2 Aug. 1646.
III. JOHN BRIGGS, birth record not found ; bap
tized 20 Dec. 1646, perhaps at Hingham, Mass., see
the Diary of the Rev. Mr. Hobart, quoted in Sava
ges Genealogical Dictionary, Vol. Ill, p. 606. He
and wife, Mary, dwelt in Boston, Mass., from 1668
to 1678; at Lyme, Conn., in 1681 ; and had probably
returned to Boston before 1685.

Children of John and Mary (  ) Briggs :
I. MARY BRIGGS, b. at Boston, Mass., 28 Jan.
1668-69. II. WILLIAM BRIGGS, b. at Boston, Mass., 28
Aug. 1672; birth also recorded, at Lyme, Conn., as

notice;

The Genealogy of the Brockway Family is
yet to be written. This publication, the third in the
series of attempts, has been compiled with honest
care, but under the great disadvantage of coming in
to the field after three other collectors of genealogical
records had gleaned in it with more or less success,
and our letters asking for records were often met by
the reply that they had already been furnished to oth
er persons, who were named. Selections from two
of these manuscript collections have been printed,
and from these pamphlets we have made such extracts
as we could use to advantage in this, but of the value
of what remains unprinted, we have not been per
mitted to judge.
The other collection of records, that of W. L.
Brockway, of the City of New York, has been placed
in our hands since the last page of this book was in
type, even to additions and corrections ; but while
acknowledging its value and importance, we decided
to do nothing more till the various branches of the
family could heartily unite in an effort to make a
complete genealogy worthy of the family.
