And what more precious testimonial of your love of kindred and' home can you leave than that which provides for the transmission of the history of your ancestors, yourself and family to future' generations ! And how consoling the thought, that when you shall have been gathered to your fathers, this history shall live through all coming time as a precious inheritance to your descendants! This is a trust which Providence has confided to your care ; and 'who so dead to sympathy and affection, to Tcindred and country, - that tvould 'not preserve the record of his ancestors, the place of his- hirth, the home of his childhood, and the sacred spot where repose- the loved and lost ones of earth I — Hon. Marshall P. Wilder.. dedicatio:n^. As a mark of love to a child who was to him ever a solace and a blessing, to one whose life was to her parents a perpetual source of joy such as a father and mother can only feel in the love of a devoted, pure, and only child, the Author dedicates this work to the memory of FONETA A. NEWCOMB, who died of chronic pneumonia, April 30, 1874, aged tweuty-twc years, six months and nine days, leaving desolation where happi ness had been, and hearts bound in anguish that had ever sprung^ to her with a love that pen cannot describe nor tongue speak. This great affliction came upon the Author while the work was in press and after that portion in which she is mentioned (page 432) had been printed ; her cultivated taste and perspicuity through the labor of compilation was of inestimable value. In her professional duties as a teacher she attained a recognized eminence that was no less gratifying than was the afEectionat& regard of her pupils, whose hearts sorrowed around her grave. The esteem in which she was held by the Board of Education of the City of Elgin is recorded in their own ofiicial words, and the journals of the same city paid to the dear departed the most affec tionate tributes of regard for her worth and of sorrow at her early death. The Author trusts that the reader will grant to a bereaved father the consolation of associating with his work the name that was in life his dearest and in death his most cherished. In this spirit the dedication is made, and surely a father's hand may be pardoned in this last testimonial to a child so useful, amiable,. affectionate, and unselfish as the young sleeper whose spirit sO' early fled to the realms of the blessed. ge:n^ekal ii^dex. 2^0.

In the early part of 1861 — nearly 14 years ago — the Author commenced the collection of records relating to his near kindred, but not with a view to their publication ; not until some months after did it occur to him that the result of his researches might one day reach the printer. The work was begun and has been car ried forward as a " labor of love ; " an incredible amount of time has been bestowed upon it; the last four years have been almost wholly devoted to it. Several thousand letters have been written — as high, in one instance, as 600 in a single month — aud many more circulars have been sent out soliciting facts respecting the family; persons of the largest experience have been employed in searching old as well as modern records. Thousands of letters have been received conveying facts respecting the family ; these letters have varied in length from a single page, note size, to over 60 pages of foolscap closely written and much abbreviated. While it would require several volumes of this size to print all these communications verbatim, yet the substance, what were deemed the more important facts, are here presented ; if any do not find as full an account of themselves and families as was anticipated, it is because, with exceptional instances, no more was furnished. A most thorough and exhaustive search has been made of the records of a large number of towns and counties in New Eng land, at their capitols, at the capitols of many other states and towns and counties therein. These researches extend back to the landing of the Pilgrims, 1620. The town records thus ex amined have been those of births, marriages, deaths, business meetings, etc.; the church, of baptisms, admissions, dismissals, etc.; the land and proprietors ; the probate, of wills, inventories, distributions ; other court records ; state records of military ser vice in early colonial wars, the Kevolution, War of 1812, Mexican War, the Great Rebellion, etc.; military records at Washington, including those of the Pension OflQce ; the " Roll of Honor " ; a large number of tombstones ; family Bibles; many books, news papers, magazines, old documents, letters, etc. Researches in the Old World are referred to on pages 7 and 8, and 538-9. In a work of this kind, containing so many thousands of facts, including the names of almost seven thousand persons born Newcombs beside collateral relatives, and with reliance for the facts relating thereto and to some extent based upon information received from such a great number of sources, it must of neces sity be impossible not to fall into some errors; yet neither pains 2 THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. nor expense have been spared to secure thoroughness and accuracy where possible. Many hundreds of letters and circulars have been sent out to which no replies have been received, or, if received, not until many appeals had been forwarded ; the facts herein contained respecting persons thus referred to, and of their families, have been gleaned and made up from other and many sources. Where the compiler has found upon record, or been furnished with various or conflicting statements respecting per sons, dates, names, events, etc., he has adopted such as seemed supported by the greatest weight of evidence. Not one in ten thousand — ^ only such as have had experience in genealogical inquiries — understands or appreciates the im mense labor, the personal research, extensive correspondence and amount of means required to collate a family memorial, materials relating to the early settlers, and their widely scattered and numerous descendants through a period of 250 years. The labor in many instances of obtaining indubitable record proof of the exact relationship of persons 'who lived so long ago that their names have not been preserved even in tradition, is, in many instances, simply incredible ; a great amount of time is required also for the arrangement of materials in manner easily and quickly understood. Were the Author paid for time employed upon this Memorial the low wages of a common day laborer, and for the means expended in its completion, ten dollars per copy would hardly reimburse him for the effort and outlay. It is yet to be determined to what extent the loss to him shall be met by the- generosity of those most interested. As this volume is not elec- trotyped, it will be impossible, with the exhaustion of the small edition, to secure a copy at any price. The Name. — The name Newcomb is said to be of Saxon origin,, Com,be signifying a low situation, a vale, a place between two hills. Newcome, Newcomes is defined by Halliwell as " ' strangers newly arrived '; but the family of this name, who trace back to Hugh Newcome, of Saltfleetby, Co. Lincoln, temp. Cceur de Lion (1189-1199), are not parvenus in this or any other sense. The name is doubtless the same as Newcombe, though the locality from which that is derived is not known." In early records in this country the name is found written Neivcom, Neiocom,e, Newcomh. Newcomle, Newcum, Newhum, Newlcom, Newchum, Nucom, Nucome, Kucoml, Xuco'mie, Nucum,. etc. ; in some instances in two or more ways in same document ; now it is almost invariably written Newcomb. The records of baptism, maj-riages, etc., at Saltfleetby, where the family has been seated 700 years, begin in 1558, and are written in Latin ; in these records the name is written Newcomen ; the known descendants write the Name Newcomen, Newcome and perhaps Newcomb. It is a question with the Author as to whether Newcomen and Newcomb are only different ways of writing the same name. the newcomb family. s' Key to the Abbreviations, System of Notation, Etc. — b. stands for born ; bap. for baptized ; m. for married ; pub. for published in marriage ; unm. for unmai-ried ; d. for died ; ch. for child or children; chh. for church; dan. for daughter; grand- dau. for granddaughter; grandf. for grandfather; grands, for grandson ; g. for great ; coll. for college ; res. for residence, reside or resides ; ae. for aged. There are other abbreviations, of such common use, that the meaning will be obvious. The small superior figures, following the names of Newcombs, indicate the number of the generation from the first American ancestor; thus: John,' or John Newcomb,' denotes that he is of the Sth generation. Immediately after each head of a family, in the largest type, will be seen, included in a parenthesis, the pedigree in the New comb line; the first name in the parenthesis being the father, the second the grandfather, and so back to the emigrant ancestor. Thus, on page 431, for example : 326 John Bearse Newcomb' {Ohadiali' William; Peter; Hezekiah; Simon; Andrew; Andreiu^). According to the explanation above given, John Bearse Newcomt),'' of the Sth generation, was son of Obadiah'' of the 7th, grandson of William' of the 6th, great-grandson of Peter" of" the 5th, great-great-grandson oi Hezekiah' of the 4th, great-great- great-grandson of Sim-on^ of the third, great-great-great-great- grandson of Andrew' of the 2d, and great-great-great-great-great- grandson of Andreiu Newcomb^ of the 1st generation, the emi grant ancestor. Nearly every name in the book may be referred to by number; for instance, Obadiah Newcomb,' on page 328, is numbered 230,. his 2d child, Esther,' may be referred to as 330-2; her 2d child, Ann Eliza, as 230-2.-2, and Ann Eliza's 1st child, Mary Esther Catharine, as 230-2-2-1. The large figures in right hand side or margin of the page de note that persons so numbered became parents. To find an account of these parents and their descendants the reader should refer forward to the same numbers in the largest type in left hand margin. Only such names are numbered as are carried forward.. The numbers in largest type, placed at head of families, refer back to same numbers found in right hand margin, where the same names are placed among the issue of their parents, etc. Any particular lineage may be readily traced, either upward or down ward, and facts learned respecting each person, by referring alternately to the large figures in right-hand margin, and the same numbers in largest type preceding the names. Take for example the Author's line, page 431, where the name of John Bearse Newcomb' is preceded by the number 326. This number refers back to marginal number 326, near middle of page 329,. 4 THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. where he is found to be the only son of Obadiah,' who is No. 230, This in same manner refers back to marginal number 230, on page 165, where Obadiah' is found as the 9th child of William," No. 103 ; this refers to marginal number 103 on page 77, where William' appears as the 4th child of Peter,' No. 38 ; and from his marginal number. No. 38 on page 46, it appears he was 2d son of Hezekiah,^ No. 12. In like manner this refers to marginal number. No. 12, on page 29, where he is found as 3d son of No. 4, Simon,' and 4 Simon' is found on page 19 as son of Lieut. Andrew^ No. 2 on page 14, and his marginal number, No. 2 on page 13, is found among the issue of Capt. Andrew Newcomb,' page 9. The degree of kinship between any two persons descended from the same Newcomb is easily determined by tracing both lines upward until they unite in a common ancestor and then noting the degrees of kinship. For instance : if it is desired to learn the degree of kinship between Col. Elisha Newcomb' of Cumberland Mills, Me., No. 280, page 387, and the author. No. 326, page 431, both of the Sth generation, the names and statement of kinship may be arranged as follows : Andrew,' Andrew,^ Simeon,' Andrew,* Joshua,= John,'' Benjamin,' Elisha.^ Same, Same. Brothers. lat Cousios. 2d Cuiisins. 3il Cousins. 4th Cousins. Sth Cousins. Andrew,' Andrew,' Simon,' Hezekiah," Peter,* William,* Obadiah,' John B.* The solution of similar problems in kinship between different branches and descendants may be thus easily determined. Down to 1752 the historical year commenced on January 1, while the civil, ecclesiastical, and legal year began on the 25th of March ; the last figure always indicates the vear according to the present calculation ; thus, Jan. 14, 1724-5, means Jan. 14, 1725. A name in parenthesis, thus, Arethusa Gould, daughter of Samuel and Patience (Wilbur) indicates the maiden surname of Patience, wife of Samuel Gould. (See page 431.) The last 50 pages of the work are covered by four indexes, and any person named in the book (commencing with page nine) may be found by consulting one or more of these indexes. If known to have been a soldier in any of the wars in which this country has been engaged, the name, if a Newcomb, will appear in the list, pages 551 and 552. If the Christian or given name -of a Newcomb is known, the name will be found in index pao-es 553-571. Names of persons other than Newcomb mav be found by consulting index of surnames, pages 571-583. If the residence -at any time is known, any name may be found by consulting index of places, pages 583-600. Family Coat of Arms.— Several Coats of Arms have been granted to the family in England, but the Author has not been able to demonstrate positively that any member of the family in this country is a descendant of those who were entitled to coat iirmor m England. A number of correspondents have referred THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. 5 to the " Newcomb Coat of Arms," and several copies are preserved, one or more of which is said to have been painted in this country a hundred years ago. The following notices of Coats of Arms, in heraldic language, are from Burke's General Armory : Newcom (Clieshire) Ar. a cross flory sa. Newcom or Newcomen (Saltfletby, Co. Lincoln t&mp Richard I.)

Portraits and Autographs. — The portraits, all of which were engraved upon steel expressly for this Memorial, were kindly furnished by persons most interested ; the cost for engraving and prints was over sixteen hundred dollars. Much pleasure is taken in acknowledging the kindness of the donors. The Author gratefully accepts this opportunity to return to the following named persons his inadequate yet sincere thanks for their kindness so generously manifested by the presentation, unsolicited, of the steel-plate engraving facing the title page, as a mark of their appreciation of his labors in compiling this historical and genealogical tribute to this ancient family. Esteem and affection prompt this recognition of their kindness and sympathy so munificently expressed by a gift, prized all the more that it is to be found in the book by the expressed desire of the Donors : Mrs. P. (Vielb) Newcomb,' of Davenport, Iowa, page 367. Horatio A. Newcomb', of Geneva, Wis., page 441. George W. Newcomb," of Cliicago, 111., page 439. Charles M. Newcomb,' of St. Louis, Mo., page 420.

The compiler, in closing his work of love, would feel a deep regret did he send it forth without expressing his unbounded ¦gratitude to the many correspondents — to the thoughtful assist ance of hundreds of friends — who have aided him with valuable .facts. This inadequate expression of thanks it is hoped will be accepted by all ; yet in taking leave, as it were, of those who by •common and generous impulses aided in the conservation ofthe family lineage, a feeling of especial obligation compels, for their preeminent aid, a mention of the following persons : Dr. Simon Newcomb," late of Lansingburgh, N. Y., p. 133 ; Miss Harriot A. Newcomb,' of Norton, Mass., p. 496 ; Rev. George Newcomb," late of Beaufort, S. C, p. 517; Hon. Elymas S. Newcomb,' late of 'Waterbury Centre, Vt., p. 500 ; Hon. George G. Newcomb,' of Roxbury, N. H., p. 497 ; "D. Barnaby Newcomb," of Cornwallis, N. S., p. 247; John T. Newcomb,' of Cornwallis, N. S., p. 115; ¦Capt. Andrew Newcomb," of Hopewell, N. B., p. 392 ; Mrs. Pran ces (Newcomb') King, of Halifax, N. S., p. 83 ; Aaron Phipps, of Greenwich, Mass., and Thomas B. Wyman, of Charlestown, Mass. An expression of thanks is also due to the following persons for material aid : George W. Newcomb," of Chicago, 111., p. 429 ; Horatio A. Newcomb," of Geneva, Wis., p. 441 ; William 0". New comb," of Perry Center, N. Y., p. 430 ; Mrs. P. (Viele) Newcomb,' of Davenport, Iowa, p. 267 ; Mrs. Theoda (Newcomb') Knapp, late of Cato, N. Y., p. 154 ; George P. Newcomb," of New Haven, Ct., p. 406 ; Washington L. Newcomb," of Taunton, Mass., p. 416 ; William R. Newcomb,' of Andover, N. B., p. 115 ; William A. Plack, of Lansingburgh, N. Y., p. 138. That the records now rescued from oblivion and herein con tained will be more and more prized by generations to come there can be no doubt. There is a pleasurable consciousness in having done something in grateful reverence to enshrine in a permanent memorial the lives and virtues of ancestors and kin dred. A pardonable gratification is engendered by the knowl edge that the family, through generation after generation, appears in the attitude of a highly moral, patriotic, enterprising, intel ligent and inventive race, whose deeds and achievements must -ever be a source of justifiable pride to their descendants.

For a number of years the Author employed at London a thoroughly competent antiquarian of large experience, who devoted much time to an examination of the early records of England ; and though the facts obtained will prove interesting to the family in this country, yet a lack of means prevented what would probably have proven the successful consummation of the end sought, namely, the learning with certainty from what part of England the progenitors of the family in this country emigrated, and the names etc. of their ancestors. The Harrleian and other Manuscripts in the British Museum were examined, as also the Records of the Herald's College, the Wills at Doctor's Commons, etc., and full abstracts made and forwarded. In addition to the foregoing, records were examined at various places in England by persons employed for that purpose. John Newcomen,'^ see page 7, of Saltfleet, d. 1631 ; had 11 ch. ; in his Will names Elias,'* eldest son of brother Charles'^ ; the Author has pedigrees of John'* and Thomas,'* sons of John," made up chiefly from chh. records at S. and Wills at Doctor's Commons ; a pedigree of son Stephen'* in 8 generations appears in Berry's printed Pedigrees of Herts, pp. 118-119, iu which several prominent men are named, among them Rev.

AndreA\' Newcomb.' whose name is oiveii above, comparatively little i.s known ; but from the records information has been ol)- tained l)y which some idea ma)' be formed of the man who ap]^ears to lia^-e lieen the progenitor <>f the largest branch of the NeAwomlj family in America. That he was boi'u in England is quite certain ; that he emigrated from the "^vest of England," jierhaps Devonshire or Wales, nearly all tradition.s declare. Beside tradition, howe^'er, there are other reas(jn8 that make it pi'obable that such Avas the case. The date of his arrival in this country is not definitely kiKJW u, but it is quite j)robable that he was amoup; the earliest settlers of New England. First mention of him is made in 1663, in Boston, Mass., when and A^¦here he married his 2d wife Grace, widow of William Rix or Ricks ; he Avas at that time a mariner or sea cajitain, and it is quite pi'oljable that this had been his occupation from youth, although there is no record to show it.

The f'olloA\-ing is an exact co]iy of Mi'. Newcomb's Will, also on file among the prol )ate papei's in Boston ; his signature to it proves him to have been an expert Avriter ; it was Avritten with a worn (piill pen, apparently not with any hesitating or faltering movement — the ink is noAV jet lilack, though Avritten nearly 200 years ago : In the name of God amen the thirty first day of January anno Dom' One Thousand six hundred Eighty and Two l68% Aiinoi Regni Reo-is Caroli Seciindi Tricessimo-Quinto I Andrew Newcombe of Boston in the County of Sufiolk in the Massachusetts Colonie in New England marriner being in competent Bodily health and of Sound and perfect memory praised be Almighty god for y" same Knowing the uncertainty of this Present life and bein^ desirous to settle that outward Estate the Lord hath Lent me Doe make and thp: neavcomb FAjriLV. 11 Ordaine this my last will & Testament in manner and forme following (That is to say) First and principally I coiiiend my Soule into the hands of Almighty God my Creator hopeing to Receive ftiill pardon and Remission of all my Sins and Salvation through the Alone meritts of Jesus Christ my Redeemer And my Body to y° Earth to be buried in such Decent manner as to my Executor hereafter named shall be thought meet and convenient and as touching such worldly Estate the Lord hath Lent me my will and meaneing is the same shall be Imployed and bestowed as hereafter in and by this my will is Exprest Imps I doe hereby revoake and Renounce and make void all wills by me formerly made and declare and appoint this to be my last will and Testament.

No inventor}' or settlement of his estate appears upon record or on file at Boston. That he d. iu Nov., 16.S6, is inferred from the date of admission of his Will to 2)robate, the 8th of the foUow- ino' month. He ma}' have d. a year earlier at sea. If he -was liorn about 1618 — probabl}' a near approxima tion to that e\eiit — his age at death must have been not far from (»S. From the omission of either bequest or mention in the foregoing Will of a son, [Lieut.} AndreAv NeAvcomli," a doulit ma} exist as to his having a son of that name. 'This much is knoAvn, that both Capt. AndreAV Ncaa comb' and Lieut. Andi-eAV Ne^vcoml >' A\'ere living in America at or near Boston at the same time, and in command of sailing craft ; and that at the time Capt. N.'s Avill was made Lieut. N. ^\-as living at Mar thas Vine}ard in circumstances of worldly j)rosperit}',, and in no need of pecuniary aid. The fact that Capt. N. also, at the time of making his will, held peculiar I'elations t(_) his grandchild NeAvcomb Blague, who demanded from his youth ancl condition as an orphan (then 12 }ears old, and the onl}' living child of his pai'ents) his most conscientious consideration, and that his child Grace NeAvcomb," b}' his 2d wife, had in her mother a ^vatchful guai'dian or friend in jDresenting her claims to the consideration of Capt. N. ; all of which easily and plainly ma}' account for the diversion of his property from his son Lieut. N. It needs but to be added that iu colonial times, AA'here bc(juests were not made to children of the testator, their names Avere fi'e- (juently omitted. Other facts are giA'eii in the folloAA'- ing pages, all of \vhich go to shoAv that Lieut. AndreAv NcAvcomlr Avas son of Ca[)t. AndrcAV N.' by his first wife, and an oavu brother to Susannah." In completing this sketch of Capt. N. so that some definite iclea ma}' l)e formed of him, it A\ill be .safe tf> assume that he Avas a vigorous man or he Avoiild not ]ia\-e chosen the calling of seaman, or have followed it so long.

And since it appears he Avas ship-master for so many years on the Atlantic coast, it is clear he must haA^-e been ])Ossessed of nautical skill.

That he Avas a man of enterprise like all the NeAV England jiioneers needs no proof, and that he Avas characterized liy something of the same upright ness that the author trusts still belong to those who bear the name of NeAvcomb seems absoluteh' certain. Finally, that he Avas a i)eaceal)le citizen, a good husband and father, occupied v^dth the common interests of mankind, as his descendants of to-day, is no mere con jecture, Init a reasonable certainty.

In' 1734, Mr. N. sold to son Tliomas", for £70, all rights by heirship of all estate in Edgartown — doubtless, as heir to his father AndreAv." Liis name ap])eai's several times in land titles of Tisbury ; and a cait path — still knoAvn as "Simon NeAvcomb's Path" — leads to that place. Mr. N.'s earliest ;[nirchase of lands in Lebanon, Ct., was made of Israel and Mary Phelps, Sept. 26, 1711, for £290, about 160 acres on eastAvard side ofthe town, with the buildings, orchards, gardens, fences, fencing stuff and fruit trees thereon; also, 50 acres common right, and 30 acres common at the callage. The farm, situated on south side of Windham road, near Phelps hill, about (jue and a half miles N.Ey. from Lebanon village, and about three-fourths of a mile beyond the old cemetery, was described then as "butting on the highvxay that goeth towai'ds Windham north- w estAA'ardly, being about one hundred and sixty rods at said higliAAay lying against the heirs of John Hadlock's land iioi'theastA\ ardly and laitting against land of Mr. Samuel Bliss southeastAvardly and lying against Aliel Janes land soutliAvestANardly." Mr. N. liA^ed upon this farm, one of the very l)est in the toAvn, nearly a third of a centur)', or until his death, Avhen it went liy will to his son Simon, avIio sold it, in 1761, for £750, t(.)

In 1778-9 these men com^eyed the fami to John Champion, of NorAvich, who in turn sold it ( except nine acres wood-land at S. W. corner at "Pigeon Swamp") to his son Salmon. The farm is at present OAvned and occupied in part liy Asa Burgess and Simpson. Mr. N. made several purchases of land in L. He also gave farms to each of his sons (except Simon, AA^ho received the homestead), the con sideration l)eing "love, good wall and affection." Mr. N.

He ^vas elected surveyor of highAvays, 1714; chosen grand juryman, 1718; fence vicAver, 1741; ancl appointed guardian to Caleb Jones in 1721.

That Mr. N. and his wife Ijelonged to the chhes. of EdgartoAvn and Lebanon there can be no doubt; but the loss of earl}' recoi'ds makes it impossible to give positive proof That they had a family of about twelve children, baptized in infancy, is proven by a tradition entitled to the v^ery highest respect, and fur nished the author by their g. g.' grands., .John Burton Newcomb,' now 64 years old, who states that his father's mother, Mercy (Gore) Newcoml), his cotem- porary 24 years, informed him that her husband's father, Simon," Avho died Avhen she was 24 years old, told her that he was the youngest (or nearly the youngest) of a large family — about twelve in number — all of Avhom were in their infancy presented to the 2 26 THE .VEWCOJIl!

The toAvn records show that Mr. N. made no less than 20 purchases of real estate in Lebanon: the first, Sept. 29, 1718, 59 acres for £4:6; the land was situated " in that part of the toAvn called Chestnut Hill," and which was set otf in 1804 to form the present town of Columbia. His largest purchase was 200 acres for £300. He owned a large tract of land about two miles N.W. from the present village of L. In 1734 he bought of his father, Simon,' for £70, all lands, etc., in Edgartown, Mass. (not described), and sold same in 1740, for £100, to his youngest brother Simon,* " all rights by heirship of our honored father Simon Newcomb, of all estate in Edgartown." Mr. N. was elected surveyor of highways, Dec. 8, 1729. He was liAdng in L. as late as March 19, 1738-9, but re moved to Salisbury, (then NeAV Haven Co.) Ct, before Oct. 11 following, and became one of the original pro prietors of the town. He was moderator of the first town meeting, Nov. 9, 1741, aud the first chosen select man. In 1745 he united with the chh. in S. by let ter from the old or First Chh. in Lebanon. In the ratable estate of S., 1742-3-4, he stands by far the highest. In 1742 his estate was set down at £137, in 1743 at £194, and in 1744 at £168. He made several grants of land in S. Near the close of the year 1746 he removed to a place called " Crum Elbow Precinct " or 40 THK .\E\VCOAIB F.AAIILY.

He learned the trade of carpenter and joiner, probably at New London, Ct., where he joined chh. on profes sion of faith and was bap. Dec. 25, 1716. The town records of Lebanon contain the folloAving notice of his marriage : " Hezekiah Newcomb & Jerusha Bradford were married together Nov'' 14 1716." A pair of gold buttons worn by Mr. N. at time of this marriage went to his grands. John Newcomb" (son of Silas"), who trans formed them a hundred years afterward into a Masonic emblem now in possession of Daniel R. Strong of LeRoy, N. Y. Mrs. N. was dau. of Thomas Bradford of Norwich, Ct., and wife Anne (Smith), granddau. of Maj. William Bradford and wife Alice (Richards), and g. granddau. of William Bradford, who came in the "May Flower" in 1620, and who was for many years Governor of the Plymouth Colony.

He took the " Freeuum's Oath" in L., AA'here he held A'arious town offices. He made no less than 12 purchases of lands in L.: the first Dec. 16, 1717, 114 acres for £62 in N. part of toAA'u; iu 1726 lOA acres adjoiniug his brother Obadiah," for £10 10s., called the Village Land. In 1743 he bought 8 acres by Ten Mile River; in 1761, for £80, 30 acres at same place; and in 1745, for £105, 80 acres in the village adjoining Goa?-. Trumbull. His toAvn tax 1760 Avas £5 Os. Id. — a large tax at that time. He I'esided in Avhat is uoav the toAvn of Lebanon, and many years in the village. In addition to Avorking at his trade, he Avas largely engaged in agricultural pursuits.. From deeds at Springfield it appears Mr. N. bought, June 27, 1737, of William Clark of L., for £20, land in FalltoAvn (uoav Bernardston), Franklin Co., Mass., aud became a proprietor. He bought in same place, for £27, 5r) acres of Joseph Atherton, June 15, 1739 ; and in 1741, for £30, lots 49 and 56, Avhich he sold in 1770 to his "beloved grandson Hezekiah NcAvcomb of Lebanon," for "love good-Avill and aflPection." At a proprietors' meeting in FalltoAvn, Oct. 18, 1738, Mr. N. drew lot 98 and gave a settler's bond [the original in possession of the author] of Avhich the following is an exact copy : Know all men by these presents that I Hezekiah Newcomb of Lebanon in the County of windham and Colony of Conneticot in New England Joyner am holden and Stand firmly bound and obliged unto Samuel Field of Deerfield THE NEWCOMB FxAAULY. 43 in y' County of Hampshier and Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England Treasurer for the proprietors of the Falls Fight Township above Deerfield afores'' So Called, or to his Successor in Said Office in the full and Just Sum of one Hundred Pounds Currant Money of New England to be paid unto the Said Sam" Field in his Capacity afores'' or to his Successor in Said office or to his or their Certain Attorney for the use of Said Proprietors to the which payment well and truly to be made I bind my self my Heirs Executors and Administrators firmly by these presents Sealed with my Seal Dated the fifteenth Day of June in the twelfth year of his Majestys Reign Anno q' Domini one thousand Seven Hundred and thirty Nine The Condition of this obligation is Such that wheras the Great and General Court have Granted a tract of Land for a township to the Officers and Soldiers & their Descendants that were in the falls fight above Deerfield in the year 1676 : on Condition that they Settel Sixty families in Said township Each to build a House 1 8 feet Square and 7 feet.

Mr. N. never settled iu Falltown, but his sons Silas' and Peter" remoA^ecl there from Lebanon about 1740-1, and remained four or five years. In 1744 Avas com menced the French and Indian War, the eifect of which was most disastrous to the settlers. So frequent Avere the incursions of the roving bands of Indians, and so great Avas the danger and alarm of the people, that about that time the settlements of Falltown were mostly aban doned, a feAV persons only remaining, and they lived in stockade or fortified houses called forts. Silas" and Peter" therefore were compelled to leave, and returned to L. Subsequently, Hezekiah" and William," sons of Peter," settled on adjoining farms on the "Newcomb Road," in the N.W. part of what is noAV Bernardston. Lieut. Daniel Newcomb," son of Silas," settled in that part of Falltown now Leyden ; and " from these three 44 THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. families," wrote the late ex-Lieut.-Gov. of Mass., Henry W. Cushman, " a host of Newcombs have descended, many of them of great intelligence, wealth, and moral worth." From A^arious sources comes the tradition that Mr. N. was a deacon : he was held in high veneration by his neighbors, his ch. and grandch. Isaac Foster, of Spen- cerport, N. Y., Avrote the author that he was told by his grandm. Submit (Downer) Newcomb," " that during the whole time of her having her ten ch. in his [Hezekiah Newcomb's'] house, she never heard him speak an angry word. The whole day long he would most always have his Bible in his hands." Mrs. N. d.

He commenced life's career in the stormy days of the Revo lution, and the firm decision, stem integrity, and unos tentatious dignity of those times seem to have been inheiited by him, and were the prominent traits of his character through life. To attempt anything like a sketch of* Dr. Newcomb's historj^ would be to write a volume, for he was prominently identified with profes sional, financial, political and religious life for more than 70 years. During his infancy his father removed to Pittstown, Rensselaer Co., in the vicinity of which he ,spent most of his days. Apr. 11, 1796, he counted the 134 THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. longest day of his life, which is scarcely surprising when the fact is known that he had commenced to teach a district school and was not quite seventeen ! The school was in Millertown District, now North Pittstown. The proceeds of his summer's labor he expended the follow ing winter in board and clothing while attending school. In the spring he returned to the same place and taught 2 years. In Feb. 1798 he listened to powerful discourses by the eccentric Lorenzo Dow, and Timothy Dewey, and was so affected by them that he always attributed his attachment to the Christian faith to their evangelical labors. He joined the M. E. chh. the following month, and remained an honored member of the same until called to his reward. In the spring of 1799 he set out on foot for Alford, Mass. ; but, being disappointed in his business anticipa tions, he changed his plans, and began studying medi cine with Dr. John Hurlbert, remaining one year. Studied subsecpiently with Drs. Nehemiah King, Ezekiel Baker and David Doolittle, 4 years in all. Commenced practice in May, 1802, and through professional skill, promptness, and an honest endeavor springing from conscientious convictions to do all the good possible, he arose to eminence in his profession and secured a competence for himself and family. He m. June 5, 1802, Sarah, dau. of William and Lois (Burnham) Follett, a native of Pittstown, where she d. Apr. 6, 1820, in her 38th year. The young couple began housekeeping in a little village one mile N. E. of Tomhannock, in the town of Pittstown. Through the influence of Mr. N. a min ister was secured, a chh. organized, and a house of wor ship built. He was the first postmaster at Tomhannock and at Prospect Hill, now Johnsonville, and held the office 27 }'ears consecutively. He was a justice of the peace 12 years, supervisor 3 years, and U. S. assessor 2 years. Dr. N. was for many years school commissioner, trustee, overseer of poor, town clerk, commissioner of deeds, master in chancery, class leader, chh. trustee, mer chant and farmer; though occupying numerous situa- THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. 135 tions of tmst in political life, he was never charged, even by his opponents, with a dereliction of his ofladal duties, ThefoUowing is a facsimile of Dr. N.'s autograph, writ ten in 1820, at the age of 41 ; the autograph accompany ing his portrait was written late in life. ,^y^^>rA^^^'-:;^-Z/^^~-^ In 1814, at invasion of Plattsburgh, he volunteered under Col.

He also had his grandf's old account book, to which reference has been made on page 38 of this work. His g. grandf, Simon Newcomb," had 139 g. grandch. bearing the name of Newcomb ; Mr. N. was the last survivor of this large number. Dr. N.'s social qualities, even in advanced years, endeared him to the young as well as to the aged ; and all who came in contact with him were made wiser and better by his genial and intelligent conversation.. 136 THE nf; WCOMB FAMILY. Ever true to his country, his bounty flowed to the deserving but destitute defenders of its liberties, and many cases might be given of his patriotic devotion and practical benevolence extended to the wounded and suffering soldiers of the War of 1812. The following extract is taken from an obituary notice which appeared in the N. Y. Christian Admocate: In many respects Dr. Newcomb was a remarkable man. First, as to his great age. He lived to within eight years of a century — twenty-two years beyond the time alloted to man in his earthly pilgrimage. He was older than the nation, knew Washington, Franklin, and the elder Adams, and was familiar with the passing ¦events of our national history, from the signing of the Declaration of Independence down to the issuing of the Emancipation Pro clamation. He retained in a wonderful degree his mental faculties to the last, discussing the live issues of the day in Church and State with the fluency and sagacity of his earlier manhood. His Christian career was remarkable in its consistency as well as in its duration. For seventy-two years he sought to magnify that grace which called him into the serviceof his Divine Master. Seventy-two years of watching and waiting, of trials and triumphs, of temptations and tears; three and a half score of years in the front of the fight, contending for the faith, and marching on to victory! Seventy-two years in the Christian ranks, uncon ditionally loyal, unflinchingly true, and unhesitatingly devotional, is a higher eulogy for a man than though he had worn a crown, having won an empire. But the sunset of his life was more beautiful than when in its meridian splendor. Death to him was the occasion of no surprise or alarm. As he drew near the closing scene, and his physical energies failed him, his faith became intensified and clearer, and farther reaching his spiritual vision. The monster of the grave never had fewer terrors than when the white-haired old patriarch looked him in the face. The river of storms was never calmer than when he stepped into its dark waters. Death was never more like sleep than when Dr. New comb breathed his last. He seemed " to wrap the drapery of his couch about him" and then "lie down to pleasant dreams." His death had not been looked for during the previous week, but was sudden when it came. The rotten frame-work could not bear the strain of the powerful engine that worked so incessantly within it, and when that gave way the machinery stood still. He died, as he lived, a Christian. Saturday night, November 19, he was still the veteran priest of his familv. Sabbath morning, as the sun flung his first beams upon the roof of his dwelling, his pilgrimage on earth closed, and he was a traveler in another country.

When he was about 3 years old, his parents were driven from their home by the Indians, and compelled to leave the country ; they returned to their native place, Lebanon, Ct. In the distribution of his father's estate, June 25, 1774, Mr. N. (being the eldest son) received a "double portion" in the real and personal property; there was set out to him to the value of £97 17s. lOd., lawful money, " the Sevei'al Lots, Shares or Rights of Land lying and being in the Province of the Massa chusetts Bay;" namely, the home lot in Bernardston, now Leyden, containing 50 acres, ^622 10s. ; one draft 50 acres, £4 ; one-half draft 25 acres, £6 5s. ; one lot in the Gore, so called, belonging to lot No. 10, £5 10s. ; all the common, undivided land belonging to the house lot No. 10, £3 ; also one right of land No. 10 on Hoosac Mountain, £4 ; he also received 10 acres land, a part of his father's old homestead, in Lebanon, which he sold in 1774 to his brother Paul.

It was a two story house in front aud a low back and was down before 1830 : it was not occupied by the Grinman family long." Of her tradition respecting the first Newcomb in this country, she wrote : "I remember distinctly of hearing my parents talk of Francis Newcomb who settled in Braintree, Mass., as being the first from England, and as a relative, but do not know how nearly related ; I suppose we were descended from him."

Llis youth and early manhood were spent on his father's farm in his favorite pursuit — agriculture. In the War of 1812 he served under Capt. John Fake, Col. William Knickerl )acker, in brigade com manded by Gen. Eddy at invasion of Plattsburgh, Sept 1814. In 1822, at the age of 28, he located in Essex Co., N. Y., with a view to the cultivation of a large tract of land which he owned there ; the land was situated in what is now the town of Newcotnb, so called after him. (incorporated 1828), and of which he was the flrst super- (3<::^^Z-^«^/i^i^ ^^ ^^^^ti*Xi;77^2>i^ THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. 267 visor. He m. July 13, 1825, Patience Viele, eldest dau. of Abraham L. and Hannah (Douglass) Viele of Pitts town, where she was b. Feb. 5, 1804. Immediately after their marriage. Mi', and Mrs. N. I'emoved to Essex Co., then a wild region of the Adirondacks, where they resided 4 or 5 years, when they retui-ned to Pittstown. Mr. Newcoml>'s ambition was to become a large agricultur ist ; he decided therefore to explore the " Great West." Earl)' in Jan. 1837, he left his home aud traveled alone on horseback (the snow being in many places 2 feet deep) through N. Y., Upper Canada, Mich., Ind. and 111. to the Mississippi river, crossed the river into what is now la. (then Wisconsin Territory), and after his explorations, decided to settle on the AACst side of the " Father of Wa ters." In Sept. Ml', and Mrs. N. emigrated with Mrs. Newcomb's parents and family, ari'iving in la. Nov. 10, 1837. They located in a beautiful part of the country, on the Mississippi river, about 15 miles below Rock Island, and took possession of a log cabin. At this time there were but 2 counties in all that is now la., Dubuque and Des Moines. Here they resided several years, and endured the labor, fatigue and pi'ivations incident to settling and opening a farm in a new countiy. Here Mr. N. found ample scope for gratifying his ambition — here he became a "large agriculturist." The proceeds and proflts of his estate, under his wise management and untiring industry, accumulated into a large fortune. At an early day, seeing that the location of the site of the present town of Davenport was surpassingly beautiful, even in a state of nature, he decided to make it his future home. Accordingly, in 1853, he removed to that city, and erected a flue residence on spacious grounds, known as the "Newcomb Mansion." In this lovely home, which commands a charming view of the Mississippi river and Rock Island, he spent the remain der of his days, dispensing the same generous hospitality that he had done in his cabin in the country. He d. Dec. 22, 1870, of apoplexy, beloved and respected by all who knew him. 268 THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. Mr. N. was a man of little or no personal pretensions, unusually retiring, remarkable for sound judgment and close observation, his uprightness unquestionable, cor rect iu all his dealings — so generous to the needy and kind to the poor he was often called " the poor man's friend." The golden rule, " Do to others as you would have others do to you," was the law of his life. No man could with truth charge him with injustice or oppression in a business transaction, and all trusts committed to him were scrupulously performed. The sternness of his char acter ^vas equaled only Ijy his goodness, temperance and integi'it}'. Though never a member of any Christian denomination (his sympathies were with the old school Presl)yteriaus), }'et he ahvays entertained a profound respect for religion and its ordinances, and manifested his sense of duty 1 )y an habitual attendance at the house of ^vorship. He lived and died in the assurance of a l)lessed immortalit}'. He often said his hope of heaven was unclouded, that death to him had no terrors, the silent grave no gloom. No words more fully represented his feelings than the foUo-wing : " I know that my Re deemer liveth ;" he expressed this sentiment in these woi'ds a short time previous to his death. His character ma}' be thus biiefly summed up : to a sound judgment and uprightness of heart and life he united great energy and untiring industry in all affairs of business. His remains rest in the famil}- grounds in Oak Dale Ceme tery, Davenport. Mrs. Newcomb's father, Abraham L. Viele, was b. at " The Valley," now Valley Falls, in the town of Pitts town, Rensselaer Co., N Y., Oct. 8, 1772, and d. at his residence in Muscatine Co., Iowa, May 17, 1840; his father, Lodewecus Viele, settled at " The Valley" a little more than 100 years ago. Mrs. Newcomlj's mother, Hannah (only dau. of Major Samuel Douglass), was b. in the town of Pittstown, N. Y., Oct. 21, 1781 ; d. in the city of Muscatine, Iowa, Mar. 16, 1846 ; she rests by side of her husband in Oak Dale Cemetei-y at Daven port, in same lot with their son-in-law, Mr. Newcomb. ^^n^ryyi^ '/?o/reo^'-o^ryr^^ THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. 269 Mrs. Newcomb's long devotion to her husband, to his memory, is not more marked than her benevolence in every good work about her by which the happiness or well-being of others may be promoted ; she unites in her character those qualities which have ever rendered woman a blessmg to the world. She has erected to her husband's memory, in Davenport, the Newcomb Memo rial Chapel. Mr. and Mrs. N. had no issue. The accompanying portrait of Mr. N. was engraved from a photograph taken a short time before his decease. 190 Thomas Wallace IVewcomb' (Daniel; Zache us; Thomas; Simon; Atidrew; Andrevf), b. in Pittstown, Rensselaer Co., N.

Mr. N. resided upon his father's farm in Pittstown, and in herited it after his decease. Active, untiring and well informed, he engaged at an early day in mercantile pur suits; sold his farm aud settled in the city of Troy in 1840, where he established an extensive aud lucrative trade in the drug business. Removed, 1842, to Lansing burgh, and in 1848 to Albany, N. Y., when he retired from business with a competence. Here he continued to reside until his decease ; he d. at his residence in Madi son Avenue, June 4, 1870. In business he was prompt, accurate ancl of scrupulous and unswerving integrity; up to the time of his death he enjoyed the respect and esteem of all who knew him. A kind, affectionate hus band and father, refined and delicate in his feelings, thoroughly domestic in his tastes, unassuming, kind- hearted, delighting in the retiracy of a happy home, a patriarch among his unusually large family, he bore the weight of years with such vivacity and such a spirit of youth that he seemed scarcely advanced beyond the prime of life. Of firm religious convictions and equally settled in his political opinions, he respected the views and sentiments of others, and while listening with patience, could refute with judgment.

He was promoted capt. from Oct 6, 1864; detached for a time from his Co., and served on staff of Gen. Mott as assistant mustering-in officeiv 3d Div., 2d Corps. Brig.-Gen. John S. Crocker wrote Gov. Fenton of N. Y. requesting that Mr. Newcomb be commis sioned brevet lieut.-col. and brevet col., for brave and valuable services at battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania and North Anna. He served 3 years in his command, always eflScient, and one of the bravest men he ever saw. Served on his brigade staff through above-mentioned battles and until dangerously wounded. At Spottsylvania all his staff but Mr. N. had been wounded, and thus extraordinary services were required of him. May 12, 1864, the brigade charged and captured the enemy's works and many heavy guns. To secure these it was necessary to push forward a few hundred men, and vol unteers were called for. The men were obtained, but Mr. N. was the only ofidcer that would volunteer for the occasion. Gen. Crocker, with Mr. N. and the men, moved forward, accomplishing the desired object. The danger ofthe move ment may be estimated from the fact that more than two- thirds ofthe men engaged in it were either killed or wounded. He considered Mr. N. one of the bravest and most eflBcient oflicers in his brigade of 9 regiments. At Spottsylvania he won the special commendation of Gen. Birney commanding- the division.

Mr. K. re ceived an academic education in White Plains Academy, Westchester Co. ; from John A. Gillett, his private tutor, in mathematics, and Prof Amos Eaton, in science; gradu ated in medicine at Vermont Medical Academy at Cas- tleton, being one of the 3 valedictorians, having during his term of 3 j^ears' study taken courses of lectures in New York and Philadelphia, and spent some time in France. He then became house surgeon of the hospital department of the Albany almshouse; remained one year, when he opened an office in the city of Albany, and became connected in practice with Dr. Plenry Van Antwerp. Sul^sequently he formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, Thomas W. Newcomb,' in wholesale drug business at Troy. Dr. N. has always been a close student, with a pen cil ant for scientific research; and, believing that to understand geology in the later formations required a knowledge of the fossil contents of the rocks, he early directed his attention to the study of conchology as the alphabet of paleontology, a branch of science which has changed the whole character of geology, and reduced it to a more perfect science. He is at present the most dis tinguished conchologist in America. Upon his second visit to Eui'ope he Avas cordially received, and even feted, ])}' some of the most celebrated saoant.^ of London and Pans. During a residence of 5 years at Honolulu, Sand wich Islands, he enjo}'ed facilities for collecting the land shells of the entire group ; aud as one result of his labors may be mentioned his description of over 100 new species of the genus acliatinella, the larger part published in the Zoological Proceedings of London, the balance Ijv the Boston Nat. Hist Soc, Lyceum .of Nat Hist of N.Y., Ti'yon's Conch. Jour., and in Proceedings of Cal. Acad. of Nat. Sciences. Iu his various explorations in Europe, the West Indies, South America, Central America and Mexico, he has added much to knowledge in many de- ^/yOtrO^-M^ THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. - 275 partments of natural history; his vast acquisitions ob tained by dredging, employing divers, and by personal search on the shores of different countries, have found a fitting resting-place in the museum of Cornell University at Ithaca, N. Y. For the last 4 years Dr. N. has been connected with that noble institution, and has filled more than 20,000 tablets with the shells of moluscous animals carefully named and classified. He has also added many thousand specimens from the radiata, ar- ticidata and vertebrata. The collection occupies over 2,000 square feet of surface, and was purchased for about $20,000. The mineral and geological collection has also been greatly enriched by additions from South America, and especially from the State of Nevada. In 1857 Dr. N. established himself in the practice of his profession in Oakland, Cal. During the 12 years spent there he described many of the helices of that State, also fresh water and marine species ; delivered a course of lectures on natural history in the Cal. College at that place. In 1870 he accompanied the Santo Domingo commissioners as sanitary expert. During the expedition he discovered the hitherto unknown locality of La Marck's helicina viridis. His collection of new species are now being described in the Journal de Concliologie, Paris. In 1871 Dr. N. was appointed by the President of the U. S. as one of 3 commissioners to investigate the Sutro Tunnel, a mining pi'oject of great imjaortance, leading from Carson Valley to Virginia City; the report met with the approval of the Government. The winter of 1872-3 was passed in south Florida, making explora tions and adding to his collection in zoology and botany, now to be seen in many collections, both public and private, in Europe and America. In his numerous ex peditions he has been accompanied, except in two_ or three instances, by his wife, whose skill in delineating dehcate and perishable specimens with her jDencil has been of great service, and whose aid in preserving them has been of great value. 276 THE NEWCOMB FAMILY.

The following is an ex tract from one of Mrs. H.'s letters to the author : We emigrated to Iowa in 1851, and " made a claim " about midway betweeii Elkador and West Union, two little hamlets theo, but now thriving towns, as well as county seats. No house being near our claim, we had no alternative but to live in a tent while our men — my husband and Ai — coald erect our future dwelling. In a grove not very far off, they found the finest and straightest poplar logs ; and as fast as they drew them up we women folks, with the aid of draw-shave and hatchet, peeled off the hark, leaving them white and smooth. When the weather was fair, tent-life was very agreeable; but sometimes we would have liked to be excused. One day, I recollect, when they had gone with the ox-team some four or five miles for shingle-timber, we spent the time in putting our tent in order and beautifying things generally. Late in the afternoon, the frequent reiterations of the teamster's " whoa haw " gave us assurances that the men Avould soon be wanting their supper. So placing a huge "johnny-cake" in the oven (for we were nine in number, one being gone), and tiie meat on the stove, we commenced setting the table just out side the door, still expecting the men every instant, we could hear them so plainly. But the supper was cooked, and the sky grew cloudy, but still no men. Eain-drops fell occasionally, and a black wind-cloud spread itself out threateningly, and ae we were guessing what it would amount to, the tent began to writhe and wriggle; the 284 THE NEWCOJIB FAJIILY. stakes gave way, and a sudden gust of wind lifted the whole affair up high in the air, and then laid it flapping on the ground some way off. Just then the rain came down in a torrent, the fire in the stove was quenched in a moment, and we stood gaping like so many mermaids or drowned rats,— if they ever do gape. Not a house within three miles, nothing like 'a shelter except the covered wagon box which eat on the ground near. So to this we retreated, each one loaded with valuables- babies, supper and lamp. As it grew dusk the voice of the teamster ceased, and intense anxiety was added to our physical annoyances. We had stayed there on that strange, lone prairie, in pitchy darkness, two or three hours, when the alisentees made their appearance, guided only by the faint light of our lamp. After taking off a part of their wet clothing and wrapping themselves in quilts, they crept under our scanty shelter. The first part of the night my husband was shaking with an ague chill, aud the latter part burning with a fever. All night long we sat, wedged in together, my son's wife and I with each a babe in her lap. How we did bless the morning light, which came as sunny and cheerful as if Nature had behaved her self the night before! In the course of the day the mystery of the last night's voices was disclosed, A mocking-bird had been taking lessons for the past two or three weeks till he could shout " whoa haw " to ntter perfection.

N., who disliked even the odor of pepper, immediately arose, and, taking his well-filled tobacco-box from his pocket, scattered its contents over both pepper and meat, remarking, naively : "I suppose, gentlemen, you all like tobacco."

His largest work was " New comb's Cyclopoedia of Missions," 1855. He preached some time at Park Street Mission chh. at Brooklyn, N.Y, where he established many mission schools. He was called the father of mission sunday-schools. In 1859 he took charge of the chh. in Hancock, Pa., seeking in the quiet of the country to recruit his failing health. But disease had laid fast hold of him. Though he preached 2 or 3 years more, he did it in great weakness. He re turned to Brooklyn, where, after a year and a half of great physical suffering, he " entered into his rest," Aug. 30, 1863. He left an interesting autobiography, which has not been j)ublished, but which may yet see the light. Issue: 1 Sophia Wells,' b.

Before he was 12 years old (both his parents then deceased) he had already acquired a fair English education, and had some acquaintance with the classics. After his father's death he served 4 years in a printing-office. In 1854, when 17 years old,- he started a newspaper at San Antonio, Texas, and made it a success; soM out in 1856, and went to Vermont ITniveraity at Burlington, Vt., to acquire a collegiate education; entered college, but remained only part of a term, being called home to attend to his father's estate. 436 THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. He again began the newspaper business, and published, at San Antonio, the Alamo Express, which rapidly rose to be one of the principal pajoers in the city, where it combated secession with undying vigor in the midst of enemies. May 13, 1861, 4 days after the surrender of Col. Reeve's command of U. S. troops to Van Dorn's force, Mr. N. issued an " extra," giving account of the surrender and some strictures on the perfidy of tlie trans action; at midnight of same day a mob of "Knights of the Golden Circle" and Rangers broke open his office, destroyed his press and material, and set fire to the building; the alarm of fire was given, the city engines and people turned out, but to no purpose ; the morning light displayed the charred ruins of the Alamo Express, the last Union jDaper in Texas. This caused great ex citement, and for tear of retaliation the secession offices were guarded; immediately after, a plot for the hanging and banishment of 150 of the most prominent Union men Avas discovered. The next day after the destruction of his office Mr.' N. became a refugee; left the city for the Rio Grande and passed into Mexico; organized a party at Monterey to cross the country to the Pacific, thence to Cal. ; the journey was successfully performed amidst many dangers and hardships, the party arriving at San Francisco Feb. 1862. He volunteered to accom pany the Union forces then organizing for a campaign across Arizona to Texas ; served as a scout for the army in its march from San Pedro, Cal., to the Rio Grande; disch. at his request after the army went into perma nent c[uarters; returned to San Francisco, where he printed, in 1862, a " History of Secession Times in Texas, and Journal of Travel from Texas through Mexico to California," an octavo pamphlet of 33 pp. ; was also editor of the San Jos6 Tribune. He was mining in Arizona during 1864, making and losing a fortune. In spring of 1867 he returned to San Antonio, again engaging in the editorial profession. He served with honor as a member of the Constitutional Convention in' 1868-69, which gave the State its reconstructed government, being elected by THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. 437 the people by a large majority; was nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the State Senate as Secretary of State, which office he still holds. Mr. N. is editor and proprietor of the State Journal, the central organ of the Republican party in the State ; he is considered one of the most active politicians and one of the best news paper writers in Texas; a man of untiring energy, of varied accomplishments, ardent and warm hearted, whose will and pen are always enlisted in the cause of truth and right, he has hosts of warm personal and political friends, and many political enemies; his engagement in politics does not arise from a love of political life, but from a desire to see good government firmly planted in his State; his prominence has come to him without his seeking; though a young man, he has passed through many trials and emergencies, is thoroughly acquainted with the history and men of his time, and whether in private or public life will bear an honorable name and fame.

Removed, March, 1856, from Pike to Hannibal, Mo., and became passenger conductor on the Hannibal & St. Josej^h Railroad the following year. In sum mer of 1861 his train was fired into repeatedly by the Rebels, who were well acquainted with his Union senti ments; he several times narrowly escaped being shot. On the 4th of Sept., while stopjDing a few moments at a station, he was made captive by a party of mounted soldiers and taken away by them. At night they en camped in a barn, and to prevent their prisoner's escape placed him between two of his captors. Sleep, while it refused to visit him, proved a valuable ally, for during the heavy slumber of his guard he contrived to free him self unobserved, and taking one of their horses was soon out of their reach. The night was only starlight ; after riding some time he could not tell if he were on the road to safety or not, when suddenly he was commanded to halt. Conjecturing, what was true, that he had come upon a Rebel camp, he concluded not to heed the order, but dashed ahead. A shot followed him; his horse stumbled and fell, and without waiting to examine its 442 THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. condition he leaped to the ground and ran toward the timber, which was not distant. Parties were sent in hot pursuit, but he succeeded in eluding them all, and at daylight secreted himself in a cornfield, where he re mained until evening, when he again took up the line of march and reached the house of a friend near the rail road, who conveyed him in a wagon amid grain-bags covered with straw to a railroad station, from whence he returned to Hannibal. He removed to Elgin, 111., in Dec. following; has resided at Turner Junction and Richmond in same State ; res. Geneva Lake, Walworth Co., Wis.

Francis Newcomb,' the ancestor of a numerous family in America, b. in England about 1605, came to New England, April, 1635, at age of 30, with wife Rachel, aged 20, dau. Rachel, aged 2^ years, and son John, aged 9 months; lived in Boston, Mass., about 3 years, when he settled at Mt. WoUaston, afterward called Braintree,* and in that part now Quincy, Norfolk Co., Mass., where he d. May 27, 1692, his gravestone in Brain tree says, "aged 100 years," the town records, "accounted 100 years old;" his age was doubtless about 87. He came to New England in the ship Planter, a list of whose 107 passengers is on file at the Rolls Office, Chancery Lane, London, England, headed as follows : Vj'" Aprihs 1635, Theis p'ties heerevnder mencioned are to be transported' to New England ; imbarqued in the Planter, Nic° Trarice M'' bound thether ; they have brought Certificates from the Justices of Peace & Minis ters of y^ p'ish that they are conformable to the orders of y^ Church of England & are no Subsidy men ; they have taken the oath of Supremacie & Allegeance Die et An" pred. ffrancis Newcom Husb : 30 Rachell Newcom 20 ) Wife & Rachell Newcom 2}4 r 2 children Jo : Newcom 9 moneths ) Mr. Newcomb embarked at London ; it is highly prob able he came from St. Albans, in Hertfordshire, as many of the passengers were from that place, which is but a few miles north of London. There are 3 parishes in St. Albans; in one the records extend back only to 1643 ; in another they have been examined between dates 1590 and 1640 without finding an entry in the name of New comb ; in the 3d, where Mr. N. was probably baptized (if born in that vicinity), the records, with the chh. were aestroyed by fire in 1743. There is a tradition that he came from Oxfordshire, ancl was of pure Saxon blood. * Braintree, Qnincy and Eandolph were once included in one town called Braintree; Qnincy was set off 1792, Randolph 1793; afew years ago "Newcomb's Landing " was set off to Quincy. The chh. records of Q. are the oldest of any in the ancient town of Brain tree. There are now more Newcombs on the voting Ust of Quincy than of any other name. 446 THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. Mr. N. OAvned several tracts of land in Braintree, as appears by record, a part being near the iron works, and another tract on S. side of Monatiquot River ; it is highly probable he lived at Quincy Point or the " Neck; " no will or settlement of his estate upon record. In the records of First chh. Boston, under Admissions, is the following: "The 28^"^ of y^ 12*^ or last month 1635 Rachaell New combe y" wife of one Francis Newcombe." Again: " the 16^^ of y*^ 12* month 1639 " a committee was chosen to enquire after the spiritual state of 11 persons in Brain tree, and among the number was "Rachell y" wife of Francis Newcomb." Mrs. N. was received in chh. at Braintree from Boston, 5 (1) 1684-5 ; no record of her death. The following is a facsimile of Mr. N.'s auto graph as witness to a deed given by Peter Nash to John Mansfield, July 26, 1662; it will be noticed he wrote his name ffrcmsis nucom.

In 1712, a British officer, who enjoyed Mr. N.'s generous hospitality during the time his ship remained in the harbor [Newcomb's Landing], presented Mr. N. with a cane, as a token of high esteem; the cane, now in possession of his great- great-great-grands., Jonathan Newcomb'of Quincy, Mass., is of mangrove wood with ivory head, and band of silver I inch wide, upon which is the inscription : " John New comb March 1712" Mr. N.'s will is on file in Probate Office, Boston, date May 13, 1721.

At the organization of Union clih. of "Weymouth and Braintree, he became a member by letter from Quincy chh. 1811 ; elected dea. 1833. In almsgiving, Dea. N., in proportion to his means, abounded. He was engaged in furnishing granite for building purposes in THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. 479 Boston — was very successful. He gave away a great deal of money, and it seemed that " the more he gave away the more he had." From his private diary it ap pears that before 1832 he did not record the amount of his donations, which were known to have been liberal ; but in that year he made, as he termed it, " a solemn covenant," that from that time he would appropriate to charitable and religious objects all his net income; ac cordingly, as long as he was able to transact business, he falfilled his promise, giving, within the period of 16 years, to needy individuals and various objects of reli gious interest, $12,467. As an example of the devout habits of his mind: as he often consulted his pastor respecting the appropriation of his funds, on one occasion he committed to him a sum of money to be transmitted to a certain society, and soon met with a serious loss by the sinking of a vessel with a valuable fi^eight. His pastor, thinking that the event might modify his inten tion to give so much, called on him and suggested that it might be so. "No," replied Dea. N., "I have not changed my purpose respecting the amount to give, ex cept that I have concluded to double it ; for I had a son in that vessel whose deliverance from death was almost miraculous, and I feel bound to express in this manner my gratitude to God." He d. at his home in Quincy, Sept. 28, 1865, ae. nearl}^ 91.

Mr. and Mrs. N. cele brated their golden wedding Mar. 25, 1871 ; the follow ing notice of it is from the Medford Jou/rnal of Apr. 1 : The fiftieth anniversary of the wedded life of Mr. and Mrs. Norton Newcomb was celebrated by their children and grand children in a manner both novel and entertaining. Assembling early on the morning of March 25th, they made a forcible entrance into their house, taking them by surprise, and overwhelming them with congratulations and earnest wishes for their future welfare. It was a simple, unaffected occasion, and like all such it was good and pleasant to be there. There was much of joy, and something of tearful sorrow ; there was a golden tribute from every one, from the youngest to the oldest; there were messages of love from absent sons; there were kindly words spoken, recalling incidents of the past; the many, many mile-stones in life's journey were yividly brought before them, some fragrant with beauty and joy, some sad with tender memories ; all these came and went like a swift recurring dream, until the realities of their wedded Ufe re- yealed themselves like unto " apples of gold in pictures of silver." They could but recognize at such a time the kindness and mercy 514 THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. of that good All-Bather who had led them thus far on their jour ney; and the wish so well expressed by one, was shared by aU present, "that they might be spared in health to celebrate their diamond wedding; and in that higher and better life there might be for them a thousand years, and a golden immortality."

On recovering, he taught the grammar school in Quincy 12 years with success ; was principal of grammar school in North Chelsea 4 years.

In spring of 1864, the citizens of Dedham pro posed to send, at their own expense, a teacher to the freedmen ; by a remarkable unanimity — not one dissent ing voice — Mr. N. was elected to go ; a salary of $900 was raised, and he went under auspices of New York Relief Association ; arrived at Beaufort May 1, 1864. Upon recommendation of Gen. Saxton, commander of military post, he was promoted sup't of freedmen's schools in department of the South, with additional salary of $50 per month. This position he held 1^ years with entire satisfaction ; had under his charge up wards of 50 teachers, who labored zealously and accom plished a good work ; he was present at Charlestown 8 days after surrender, assisted James Redpath in organ izing all the freedmen's schools. They were first opened Mar. 4, 1865 ; Mr. N. examined and admitted into the schools 60 native Charlestonians as teachers — white and colored. In 1866 he was located at Elizabeth City, N. C. where he experienced much opposition ; his life was in jeopardy, although no fault could be found, only that " Newcomb is teaching the nigger too much ;" was given to understand by anonymous letters that he must leave the town in 3 clays, or "the Lord may have mercy on your black soul." He paid no attention to threats, but quietly pursued his work in full confidence and trust ; before expiration of the 3 days a Co. of U. S. troops arrived which made all right ; was no further molested. In fall of 1866 he was in Va., where he contracted chiUs ancl fever, which confined him at home 6 months. In fall of 1867, left for Beaufort, S. C, under auspices of Missionary Society of M. E. chh.; joined South Carolina Mission Conference, was ordained both dea. and elder, had charge of Beaufort circuit, which increased in num bers from 159 to 739 — from one preaching place to six — from one chh. edifice to four.

Thomas Newcomen," * inventor of the steam engine, a native of Dartmouth, Devonshire, England, was ap prenticed to an ironmonger in Exeter, and became so practically acquainted with the business as to be able to complete, with his own hands, unaided, after trials * The author is indebted to Capt. Thoinas Lidstone, of Dartmouth, Devonshire, Eng land, for facts respecting Mr. N. and his descendants in England. Capt. L. has published three pamphlets relating to the inventor, his family and steam engine; the last is entitled "A few Notes and Queries about Newcomen, who made the flrst Steam Engine," &c. Mr. N.'s house in Dartmouth was taken down a few years since and rebuilt by Capt. L. in memoriam. THE NEWCOMB FAMILY. 539 and experiments extending over a space of 3 years, that wonderful machine, the steam engine. He afterward exerted himseK to introduce it into practical working in all parts of the kingdom. In 1729 he sought to obtain a patent (his model is still preserved), but while in London for that purpose was taken down with fever, d. at the house of a friend, and was interred in Bunhill Fields. Mr. N. was an educated man, a Baptist; he preached occasionally, and held meetings in his house in Dartmouth, which caused him to be prosecuted by the authorities. His earnestness of purpose served him in good turn when he had to overcome the immense difficulties which beset him in connection with inventing and making " the first self-acting steam engine." The importance of Mr. N.'s invention has never been fully recognized in connection with his memory, yet he left it so complete that it continued unchanged and unim^ proved for nearly 100 years. From that time to this the whole civilized world has been indebted, for that greater enjoyment of life which has been increasingly possessed by succeeding generations, to the application of steam power which Mr. N. originated in working form, and to which must be further ascribed the rapid advance in civilization which characterizes the present age.
