A RECORD OF THE DESCENDANTS OF
ROGER AMADOWNE OF
REHOBOTH, MASS.

By Frank E. Best

Chicago, III.
1904.
Frank E. Best, Box 271.

Tradition has it that Eoger Amadowne was a French Huguenot, who,
after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, was compelled to flee from
France; that he went to England, where he remained for several years
and then emigrated to America. No information has been obtained con
cerning the date and place of his birth or of his parentage.
On the records of Plymouth Colony and at Eehoboth his name is
generally spelled Amadowne.
The majority of his descendants spell the name Amidon, while
various branches of the family use the spellings Amadou, Amedon,
Amidown, Ammidon and Ammidown.
An asterisk (*) preceding the number signifies that farther on
under that number appears an account of the family of that indi
vidual.

ROGER AMADOWNE.
The name of Eoger Amadowne first appears at Salem, Massachusetts,
in 1637. "Att a meeting the 25th. of the 10th. moneth, 1637 being present-
Mr. Endicot, Mr. Connant, John Woodbury, John baloh, Peeter Palfry,.
Jefry Massie, William Hathorne. It is agreed that the marsh & meadow
Land that haue formerly layed in eomon to this Towne shall now be ap'
propriated to the Inhabitants of Salem, proportioned out vnto them ac
cording to heads of their families — To those that haue the greatest num
ber an acre thereof & to those that haue least not aboue have an acre & to
those that are betweene both 3 qrters of an acre, alwaig provided & it is
agreed that none shall sell away thier proportions of meadow, more or
lesse, nor lease them' onto any aboue 3 yeares, vnless they sell or lease
out their howses wth their meadow. ' '
Then follows a list of 224 names, in which list Eoger Amadowne is
the ninety-eighth and receives half an acre.
He is next found at Weymouth in 1640 as shown by the following
from the town record:
"Sara daughter of Eoger Amadowne born 10 (6) 1640."
The next mention is at Boston, in thel list of births:
' ' Xiida dau. Eoger and Sara Amadowne 27, Feb. 1643. ' '-
During his residence at Weymouth, the Eev. Samuel Newman was
pastor of the church. In 1643 Eev. Newman, with a part of his eongre-
gallon, formed the settlement at Eehoboth, near the Ehode Island line.-
In 1648 Eoger Amadowne appears at Eehoboth, being the forty-third^
on the list of proprietors. The town of Eehoboth was afterwards di
vided and the older portion took the name of Seekonk.
The history of Eehoboth, by Bliss, says:
The town was built in a semi-circular form around what is now
Seekonk common, with the meeting house and parsonage in the center.
The semi-circle opened toward the Seekonk or Pawtucket river. This'
circle was afterward called the ring of the tovra.
Eoger Amadowne 's house was at the northeastern end of the semi
circle a.s shown by the following extract from the Eehoboth records:
' ' Oct. 18, 1660. William Sabine at a town meeting lawfully warned
did agree with ye town to make ye mill bridge across Palmer's river
and ye highway as far as ye foot of ye hill by Goodman Amadowne 's,
and to maintain it for forty a year, for twenty years and to have 4th,
of his pay ready down. ' '
This location is about one mile north east of the church in the
present town of Seekonk.
On July 18, 1648, the records of Eehoboth show there was granted
3

TUB AMIDON FAMILY.

' ' Eoger Ammidowne a house lot between Walter Palmer 's house lot
and the mill."
By order of the Plymouth Court he was granted a tract of land
June 3, 1662, and under date of June 7, 1665, the following:
' ' Fifty acrees of laud is granted vnto Eoger Amadowne, lying att a
place called the Ten mile river, being a prte of that land which captaine
WilletO bought, lying on the bounds of Eehoboth; the said fifty acrees
of land, with all and singulare the appurtenances belong therevnto, to
appertaine to him, the said Eoger Annadowne, to him and his heires
assignes forever. ' '
In 1658 he was granted more land and in 1671 had a grant of one
hundred acres.
In 1657 his name appears in the list of freemen and in 1658 he
first served on the coroner's jury, in which capacity he served sev
eral times.
Nothing is known of his first wife except that her name was
Sarah and that she died at Eehoboth, June 20, 1668. He married for his
second wife, December 27, 1668, Joanna, daughter of George and Jane
Harwood. She survived him and died July 1, 1711.
The records do not give the date of his death but state that he
was buried November 13, 1673. He probably died November 11, 1673,
as the records show the following report of the coroner's jury:
"Wee, whose names are vnderwritten, being impannelled vpon a
corrowner's inquest by the honored Mr. James Browne, Assistant, to sitt
vpon the corpps of Eoger Annadowne, deceased, occationed by some late
striffe between his wife and him, hearing all euidences, pondering all
cercumstances, and viewing the corpes, wee find noe wound nor bruise
that might hasten his death. "Steuen Paine, senr.

"Benjamin Sabin.
"Henery Smith.
"11th nouember, 1673, this verdict aboue written was giuen in
vpon oath before mee. James Browne, Assistant. ' '
The following is found showing the settlement of his estate:
"Wheras, Eoger Amnadowne, of Eehoboth, late deceased, died
intestate, for the more equall disposing of his estate, it is mutually con
cluded hj and between Joanna Annadowne and John Coblech of
Swansey, in the behalfe of Ebinezer, the eldest son of the said Anna

CALEB AMMIDOWN (Philip,'" Philip," Eoger'), bom August,
1736. He married, in Dudley, April 14, 1758, Hannah, daughter of
Joseph and Mehitable Sabin, a descendant of William Sabin, of Eehoboth,
Mass. They lived in that part of Charlton which is now in Southbridge.
He died April 13, 1799, and she married, second, and as his second wife,
Ebenezer Davis. She died March 20, 1820.
At the Lexington Alarm, April 19, 1775, he enlisted as Sergeant in
the company commanded by Capt. Samuel Curtis. In December, 1776,
and January, 1777, he served with the same rank in Capt. Abijah Lamb's
company, and again under the same captain as Quartermaster Sergeant
in July and August, 1780.
Hon. George Davis in "A Historical Sketch of Sturbridge and
Southbridge," says "The writer in the former part of his life recol
lects very well hearing the elderly men speak of Mr. Ammidown as a
man of notoriety and influence, and whose opinion was highly appre
ciated. More than once we have heard the following anecdote related of"
him : "At slome period in the earlier part of his life, he was the orderly
sergeant of a militia company. It was thought expedient to memorial
ize the existing government, in some matter deemed important. To
whom shall we apply to make the draft of the instrument to be sent?
was a matter of consultation among the officers of the militia. The
captain of the company, to which Mr. Ammidown belonged, proposed
his orderly sergeant. Some surprise was manifested. It was con
cluded that Sergeant Ammidown should make the attempt. The ob
ject of the proposed memorial was stated to him. Mr. Ammidown,
having procured pen, ink and paper, and making his lap, covered with
his leather apron, his writing desk, went to work, and soon produced
a document which exactly met their views. ' ' This instance is
related to show his early aptness as a ready writer. We are informed
by our venerable friend, Dea. John Phillips, of Sturbridge, who was
well acquainted with Mr. Ammidown, that he was a man of extra
ordinary abilities. In important questions his judgment was highly
valued. He speaks of him as a legislator, having few superiors in
correct and comprehensive views. As a ready writer his pen was
freely and profitably used in the legislature. Although not a very
ready debater, he would frequently baffle those who were more
learned, and more gifted in speaking. He was fond of collisions of this
sort, as an occasion of pleasantry. A rude attack would receive such
a retort as could not be comfortably enjoyed."
The Hon. E. D. Ammidown has furnished us some additional particu
lars respecting his grandfather, Caleb Ammidown. As he was exten
sively known, and influential, although moving in the common walks
of life, his business talents, as well as other traits of character, are
worthy of remembrance. During the revolutionary struggle he was
actively engaged in discharging various important trusts. After the
close of the war, he represented the town of Charlton several years.
This was one of the trying periods in our history. The state of affairs^
was such as required the strongest and most discreet men. Ml-. Ammi
down was one of the men who took an active part in bringing order
out of confusion, and adjusting the discordant elements.
He was appointed to survey the confiscated lands, including a
large part of Charlton and that section of country. Among his papers
were to be seen numerous plans and maps of lands surveyed and lotted
out by him.

THE AMIDON FAMILY. 19

He was a member of the Court of Sessions, a Court whose juris
diction embraced many important matters within the limits of Wor
cester Countv. The duties of exciseman required an annual inventory
of the groceries sold in the county, and the imposition and collection
of a specific tax on the same. This was a very laborious office, includ
ing, as it did, the whole county of Worcester. It is evident that Mr.
Ammidown was a working as well as a calculating man. In summing
up the traits of his character, the most prominent were: Firmness,
resolution, integrity, perseverance and keen foresight. It was not
easy to impose upon him by any ingenious pretexts or specious preten
sions. Mr. Ammidown was plain in his dress, in his manners and in con
versation, but not vulgar or profane. When such men as Mr. Ammi
down are entrusted with public concerns, there is little danger but
they will be managed with discretion." CHILDEEN.

down, Esq., son of Caleb Ammidown. The writer enjoyed his acquaint
ance and frequent manifestations of his generous and benevolent heart.
He was ever ready to assist and encourage young men, if they were dis
posed to assist themselves. Mr. Ammidown was one of the most
efficient men in procuring the incorporation of the town of Southbridge,
and in laying a foundation for its future growth and prosperity. He
was equally efficient in building up and sustaining the religious society
to which he belonged. The religious and civil state of things, when
the town was incorporated, was in its infancy, and required such men
as Mr. -Ammidown to place it on a stable basis. To effect so desirable
an object, he spared no pains. He was ever ready with an open hand,
cheerful heart, and active personal eiforts to promote any enterprise
which promised utility. He with his brother Luther furnished in 1811
the first wool manufactured for sale. A large proportion of the
expense of erecting the Congregational Church in Southbridge was
borne by him. In sustaining stated preaching he was equally liberal.
He never rushed precipitately into any project in contemplation, but
examined carefully and keenly bearings and consequences, before he
was ready to act. When his mind was made up he was not easily
diverted from his purpose. He carried out in life that firmness of
character which descended as a legitimate inheritance. Honest, high-
minded and possessing enlarged views, his controlling aim was to
promote the best interests of the community. Mr. Ammidown married
a daughter of Ebenezer Davis. By this connection his [property was
considerably augmented, thereby enabling him to enlarge his business,
and to be more extensively useful. Mr. Ammidown was always actively
employed, either in his own concerns or in those of a public nature.
It is not improbable that he taxed his physical and mental powers too
severely, and thereby shortened the period of his usefulness. He dis
charged the duties of legislator, of a magistrate, and frequently of
an arbitrator in settling the disagreements of parties. In all these
trusts, no one doubted his ability or honesty. In his social habits,
cordial, agreeable and edifying, his company was always desirable.
Without any disparagement to others, it may truly be said, that no
man in Southbridge was exerting a more energetic and salutary influ
ence than Calvin Ammidown, up to the time he was cut down in the
midst of his usefulness. Mr. Ammidown lived to witness the early
and promising growth of the town of which he was eminently one of
its fathers. He was, in person, a little above the ordinary size, possess
ing prominent features, and a countenance indicating firmness and intel
ligence. In his death, all felt, especially in the community where he
was intimately known, a great public and private loss had been sus
tained. Mr. Ammidown died January 5, 1825, in the 36th year of his
age. ' ' CHILDEEN.

EBENEZEE DAVIS AMMIDOWN (Calvin,"" Caleb," Philip,"
PhiUp," Eoger'), bora at Southbridge, Mass., November 18, 1796. He
married May 12, 1816, Eebekah, daughter of Caleb and Mary (PUmpton)
Fisher. She was born in New Salem, N. Y., July 16, 1798, and died
in Boston February 20, 1878.
As a child his health was not good, and being an only son seems to
have been favored in having his own way. That it did not spoil him
shows he inherited good sense. At 14 years of age he was partner
with Larkin, aged 23, son of John, and Luther, aged 20, son of Luther,
in trade, 1810, in the ',' boy's store" as it was then styled, a one-story
store 18 feet wide by 50 feet in length which stood in the north side of
the main street in Southbridge. (5n the opposite side of this street
Calvin Ammidown had built what was known all its existence as
' ' The Columbian Building. ' ' In this he and his family lived while he
had a store on the street floors. .lohn, Luther and Calvin Ammidown
continued business with each other to mutual satisfaction all their
lives, but their sons saw best to separate their interests early in their
youth', and continued the condition for the rest of their lives.
After the deaths of his father and sisters, Deborah and Cynthia,
Ebenezer with his sister Lydia and her husband. Dr. 'Samuel Hartwell,
provided for their children 's future. The so-called Dresser Cotton
Mill was erected in 1813, the Columbian Factory in 1821 (destroyed
by fire 1844, December 6), the Central MiUs in 1838, and the first
cotton works were established at Westville, three miles up the river,
in 1812. All these at one time Ebenezer D. operated. Born and
Drought up on a farm, but being of a slender constitution, he was not
able to do hard work, and following his inclinations, employed himself in
lighter mechanical matters of various kinds. He was ingenious and
able from 'his native capacity to readily understand the intricacies
of machinery. As said before, his father was a pioneer in the cotton
manufacture in Southbridge, and at the time of his death had begun
the business on a small scale. At his decease the prosecution of this
new enterprise devolved upon the son, then a comparatively young
man, in connection with Dr. Samuel Hartwell and Moses Plimpton. To
this responsibility Mr. Ammidown applied himself with the energy
and good judgment which always characterized his later efforts, and the
result was the permanent establishment of the leading manufacture of
the town. Mr. Holmes Ammidown in his history of Southbridge says

THE AMIDON FAMILY. 69

that to him more than to any other person the place is indebted for
the development of this industry. But the natural scope and bent
of Mr. Ammidown 's mind were by no means satisfied with a success
in this direction. When railroading became established, in it he dis
cerned at once an instrumentality which could be successfully used
not only to increase general prosperity, but to benefit and build up
his native town, in whose welfare he ever felt a special interest. He
therefore entered heartily into that subject, acted as one of the board
of commissioners about 1838 to locate and settle land claims on the
Norwich and Worcester road; was foremost in projection of the Norfolk
County (now New York, New Haven and Hartford) road and for a
time its president, and was the main instrument in obtaining a
charter for the Southbridge and Blackstone road. The new entrance
into the city of Boston at Summer street over the South Boston flats
was a scheme of his devising and was carried out mainly through his
persistent efforts. And the land where now stands the Union Depot
in Boston would have been bought by the railroads at a cheap
price had his plans been carried out in 1859. In both houses of the
State Legislature, to which he was repeatedly elected, he labored
resolutely and perseveringly to effect his purpose. Nearly thirty
years of his later life were chiefly devoted to this work, and the end
was gained at last. He had reason to hope that he could see the fruit
of his labor, but was not permitted this happiness. He died at 5:30
p. m., November 21, 1865, and on November 9, 1866, communication
by rail between Southbridge and Boston was opened. He had a mind
far-reaching in its range and -therefore specially competent in the man
agement of public affairs. As a magistrate, in which capacity he
acted for a long time, doing much business, he was eminently success
ful and his decisions were rarely reversed by the higher courts. In
private life Mr. Ammidown was most estimable, a true and wise friend
and adviser, and possessed of a warm heart. Socially he was quiet
and unobtrusive, and like the rest of that branch of his grandfather
Davis' family ever too full of real work for much that was light and
trifling, and though he had a keen sense of the ludicrous and a
fund of dry wit, he was considered a sedate man. Says Mr. Linus
Child, "He was always calm and collected, even in the most trying
circumstances; was seldom off his guard and never manifested undue
excitement. The undisturbed calmness with which he met the last
hours of his life, when in perfect possession of all his faculties, he
held his last interview with his family and gave his last counsels
and directions, only indicated the same quiet and well-balanced mind
which he had so constantly displayed throughout all the varying scenes
of a long and useful life."
