PREFACE.
HE custom of prefacing books with introductory remarks,
or explanations,—which the author desires to bring to the
notice of the reader,—is a pleasant way of saying,
"Pause, before you pass the threshold of this house: it con¬
tains many things which you should behold understandingly;
and although the door stands wide open for you to enter therein,
a cordial greeting awaits you, the guests are already assembled,
and you are to take possession, I stand here to make the transfer,
and we will, if you please, enter together. As we wander
about its hospitable halls, let us view kindly any imperfections
we may discover, the better to enjoy the work as a whole."
With this metaphor, I frankly state that the sense of freedom
as we enter the door is to me refreshing: because of the oppor¬
tunity it gives for -personal expression,—a feeling of latitude,
enough to set forth all that is required for a clear understanding
by the reader of my aim and purpose in preparing this book,
and that he may know the path I took in the intricate labyrinth
of research; and also to know of some of those to whom I
owe and sincerely render my acknowledgments.
My copy of the " Genealogy of the Greenleaf family, by
Jonathan Greenleaf, of Brooklyn, N. Y., printed for the use of
the family, 1854," has, in the handwriting of my honored father,
the late Rev. P. H. Greenleaf, D.D., the inscription, "James
Edward Greenleaf, from his Affect. Father, June, 1854." The
perusal of its pages awakened an interest which led me to the
habit of gathering, from time to time, all items of family interest
that would come in my way. These fragments, whether of his¬
tory, or data of birth, marriage or death, being carefully pre¬
served, necessarily formed a large accumulation in the forty
years which now have passed.
How and when to utilize them for family use has been an
interesting problem. The busy life of an active man in daily
toil and struggle,—the experience of most of us,—gave me no
opportunity to enter upon the task of compiling and putting

in proper order all the material I had, and adding thereto by a
systematic research matter for a "full, reliable, and complete"
work; and therefore, content with what I had, I bided my time,
in patient anticipation. At last the way was opened, in a truly
unexpected manner, through the door of an illness, which com¬
pelled me to abandon business for a time. I commenced late in
September, 1892, " assembling the rank and file, and calling the
roll of those present and absent." By Jan. 1, 1893, the material
was in an orderly condition; I was then looking to an early
publication of the book. I sent a circular in July of that year
to some eight hundred of our family, who are scattered through¬
out the length and breadth of the land. The replies showed ap¬
preciation of the idea, and readiness to co-operate and render
assistance in the fulfillment of the enterprise.
Gladly would I publish a list of these correspondents, as a
tribute of gratitude, if I could by so doing give expression to
my sentiments to all who have aided in many ways, as by search¬
ing records of the archives of town, counties, and state, etc.
Miss Marion Constance, daughter of Dr. Richard Cranch
Greenleaf, of Lenox, Mass., kindly sent me photographs from
portraits which have enabled me to give the illustrations of the
early ancestors, and which add so much to the interest of the
book.
To Levi Greenleaf, Attorney and Counsellor at Law,
formerly of Lewiston, now of Portland, Maine, I am especially
indebted for assistance in presenting the descendants of Joseph,
the son of Stephen, son of Stephen, Jr., a branch omitted from
Chart XXIII. of the book published in 1854, and of which my
collection was fragmentary, unconnected, and seemingly hope¬
lessly obscure. He has generously given largely of his valuable
time, and most faithfully pursued and followed out to a conclu¬
sion the various, and somewhat at times mythlike, clues in the
line of genealogical chains, until at last is presented a record of
rare fullness and completion.
The venerable and honored John Greenleaf, of Wiscasset,
Maine, was one of my first correspondents with reference to this
branch of the family. Another, whose kind assistance I shall
ever hold in felicitous regard, is the Rev. Ebenezer Green¬
leaf Parsons, son of Captain Jotham and Olive (Greenleaf)
Parsons, and now residing in Derry, N. H., to whom my grate-

ful acknowledgments are given for the elaborate record of the
descendants of Olive and Thankful, daughters, and Ebenezer,
son of Stephen and Mary (Knight) Greenleaf.
Clement A. Greenleaf, of Indiana, aided me materially,
besides giving information of his own family by sending a large
collection of names and addresses throughout the South and West
as far as the Pacific Slope.
To Marshall W. Wood, A.M., M.D., Major and Surgeon
United States Army, I am indebted for the very interesting sketch
of Major-General Daniel Gooking.
These and many more kind friends have increased the
numbers whose record the pages of the Genealogy bears. It is a
vast throng. A clergyman who called on me and saw the well-
laden desk, chairs, yes, and floor, too, covered with leaves of
record, remarked, "Well, sir, with such surroundings, and the
shades of the departed they must call forth to appear before you,
you are not likely to feel lonesome,"—a sentiment with which I
was in hearty accord ; and if ever a person may be said to desire
an interview with those who have gone hence,— to lift the veil
and ask for this, that, or the other member of the family to come
forth and explain,—it is the genealogist who is in a strait for
reconcilation of conflicting returns he has received; and he who
comes forward in time of need, is really a friend indeed. At one
such period I received reply to a letter of inquiry which led to a
correspondence with Mr. William F. J. Boardman, of Hartford,
Conn. Mr. Boardman married Jane Maria, daughter of Dr.
Charles and Electa (Toocker) Greenleaf. I cannot convey by
writing the appreciation I have of his letters, without prolixity,
which would pass beyond limits of indulgence. Let it suffice
that I am indebted to him greatly for suggestions, timely, and of
much value, in developing the ideal which I had set up as my
standard for accuracy in data and correctness in statement of
historical fact, also for family records of the descendants of Dr.
Daniel Greenleaf in the line of Dr. Charles, of Chart XVI.
In the summer of 1893, my brother, Lieut.-Col. Charles
R. Greenleaf, Deputy Surgeon General United States Army,
went abroad by order of the Secretary of War as a delegate to
represent the United States at the Medical Congress. On his
return, being in England, he visited Ipswich, for the purpose of
examining the records of the parish of "St. Mary la Tours,"
viii
preface.
where he found the date of baptism of our common ancestor,
Edmund Greenleaf, and of Enoch, his son. It is there that the
names of other children of Edmund may be found; and had time
permitted, it is possible that further investigation might have
revealed the earlier history of our ancestors when they came over
from France, and perhaps a glimpse of whence they fled from
their cruel persecutors. These are beyond my power to disclose,
for the present, at least.
In the summer of 1894 my nephew, Prof. Ernest A. Cong-
don, of the Drexel Institute, Philadelphia, while in London,
England, made research in the archives of State papers, 1534-
1674, examining among others the "Calendar," of 4 volumes
(Colonial), and the "Calendar" of State papers, 44 volumes,
1635-1668 (Domestic). These and all previous researches by
their negative value give strength to the tradition of the Huguenot
origin of the family ; but it remains for the future historian or
antiquary to supply the authentic record of descent. This I had
hoped to have done, and had prepared a paper on the Huguenots,
which, to incorporate in these pages with our present incomplete
information, would appear premature and out of place. So,
likewise, I regard the subject of "Family Coat of Arms."
At least three are claimed in different branches of our
family. To give copies of these, and not state the grounds upon
which the claims are based, would be unsatisfactory. I have
therefore concluded to rest the subject on a descriptive statement,
quoting from a " note " on page 115 of the Genealogy of our
family, by Rev. Jonathan Greenleaf, D.D.
"The Hon. William Greenleaf, once of Boston, and then
of New Bedford, being in London about the year 1760, obtained
from an office of Heraldry a device said to be the Arms of the
family, which he had painted, and the painting is now (1854)
the possession of his granddaughter, Mrs. Ritchie, of Roxbury,
Mass. The field is white (argent), bearing a chevron between
three leaves (vert). The crest is a dove standing on a wreath of
green and white, holding in its mouth three green leaves. The
helmet is that of a warrior (visor down) : a garter below, but no
motto."
Another branch of the family claims for its " Coat of Arms"
that referred to by Heralds as belonging to the name Greenlees.
" A fleur-de-lis vert, between three mullets gu, within a bordure

engr. of the last. Crest: a sprig growing out of a mount proper.
Motto, Vivesco;" but, "the only book of Heraldry known to
contain the name of Greenleaf (spelt with an e final) is " Robson's
British Herald," where it is stated that the arms are the same
with those of the family of Green land, and are thus emblazoned :
"He beareth argent, three saltiers, vert: Crest, a dexter arm,
couped and embowed, holding a bomb, fired proper." It is
this latter which is claimed by my branch of the family, and
which was engraved upon the seal worn by my grandfather, the
late Hon. Simon Greenleaf, and which I have upon my own seal
ring.
It was my good fortune to receive, by the kindness of the
daughters of my great uncle, the Rev. Jonathan Greenleaf, D.D.,
his book of records, and the letters received by him relating to
the data from which his genealogy was compiled—many of which
bear a date later than that of the publication, and down to i860.
I have carefully read all of these and have registered in a book kept
for the purpose, numbering each letter to correspond with the
register number, and recording against the same the subject-
matter of the letter, for reference. These letters clearly indicate
his intention to publish a later and more complete edition, and
they explain many omissions and errors of the book of 1854.
For example : regarding the family of Joseph, son of Stephen, to
which I have referred, he made repeated efforts to obtain records
of that family, but in vain, for various reasons,—unanswered
letters, incorrect data, etc. ; and this illustrates a trying feature in
the experience of the genealogist.
The paper on which this work is printed was made by
the Holyoke Paper Co., Holyoke, Mass., of which O. H. Green¬
leaf is President, and O. S. Greenleaf is Treasurer.

INTRODUCTION.
O much of interest is associated with the home of the
Common Ancestor of the Greenleaf family, and of
others of the early ancestry, it seems fitting that sketches
of the history, reminiscences, and other incidents relating to
their first abiding place in New England should form a part of
these Annals.
A few extracts from the historians, whose works have given
much voluminous details, and from manuscripts and traditions
verbally handed down through the generations, will give a fair
idea of the " Ould Newberry" town,—its origin, growth, relig¬
ious and business life.
It was characteristic of the body of religious men and women
from whom the family descend, to hold in peculiar veneration, and
to honorably cherish and treasure up, every material of historic
and genealogical research, to regard with favor the tenacity of
tradition; and it is but natural for us to contemplate and keep
fresh in mind the great trials and triumphs through which these
our early ancestors passed, and their influence in developing the
country. It was the motto of their ancestors, the Huguenots,
that '' Every man's work shall be made manifest, for the day
shall declare it" ; and it was this inborn element of mind and
character that for over two centuries has been leading their
descendants to deeds of patriotism and industry in developing
the resources in the maturing of their homes, and of their share
of the American Republic.
To their rude church in the clearing they devoted their first
labors. Here was kindled a pure spiritual light that has shed
its sacred cheer upon many a home.
" Scarce steal the winds that sweep the woodland tracks,
The larch's perfume from the settler's axe,
Ere like a vision of the morning air,
His slight-framed steeple marks the house of prayer."
" It sheds the raindrops from its shingled eaves,
Ere its green brothers once have changed their leaves."

NEWBURY, MASS.
i635-
IN the year 1633 eight ships, with passengers, arrived in New
England. In 1634 twenty-two ships arrived,—six coming
in May, fifteen in June, and one in November. These ships
brought large numbers of passengers, who soon found
places to settle. " On one of the ships that arrived in May came
Mr. Thomas Parker, a minister, and a company with him, being
about one hundred, [and] went to sit down at Agawam, and
divers others of the newcomers." The plantation at Agawam
was, from the first year of its being raised to a township (August,
1634), so filled with inhabitants that some of them presently
swarmed out into another place a little farther eastward.
Mr. Parker was at first called to Ipswich, but choosing
to accompany some of his countrymen, removed with them and
settled at Newbury. Capt. Edward Johnson, in his "Wonder
Working Providence," written in 1651, states that "Messrs.
Parker and Noyes began to build the tenth church at a place
called Newberry in the latter end of the year 1634," which would,
by the Puritan reckoning, be the Spring of the year. The year
with our Puritan forefathers began on the twenty-fifth of March,
and not on the first of January. Not satisfied with renouncing
all rites and ceremonies not in their opinion clearly warranted
by the Bible, they attempted a reformation in the calendar, by
repudiating the names of the months and of the days of the week,
as of heathenish origin, and altogether unsuitable to be used by
Christians. In order, however, to accommodate all those who
did not desire this reformation, a double date was used between
January first and March twenty-fifth. Thus twelfth mo. 1634-5
meant either February, the twelfth month, 1634, or February,
the second month, 1635, according to the different opinions of the
reader. "The latter end" of 1634 might mean, and probably

did mean, the time between January first and March twenty-fifth,
which would then be considered as the beginning of 1635.
The town of Newbury was originally one of the largest
towns in the county.
Ould Newberry, as it was anciently called, was settled,
incorporated, and paid its first tax, in the spring of 1635. It
derives its name from Newbury, a town in Berkshire, England,
situated in the south part of the county on the river Kennet,
fifty-six miles west from London. It was so named in honor of
the Rev. Thomas Parker, who had for some time preached in
Newbury, England, before his arrival in America. Till its
incorporation, in 1635, it was called by its Indian name, Quasca-
cunquen ; a name which the natives gave, not to the whole terri¬
tory (as the word signifies "a waterfall"), but to "the falls,"
on what is now called the river Parker, on whose banks the first
settlers fixed their habitations.
As different dates have been assigned by different persons
for the first settlement of the town, some placing it in 1633, and
others in 1634, and others in 1635, Mr. Joshua Coffin, in his
"History of Newbury," gives his authority for the statement
that no permanent settlement was here made till early in the
spring of 1635. Governor Winthrop, in his "History of New
England," Vol. I. page 160, states: "At this General Court
(May, 1635) some of the chief of Ipswich desired leave to
remove to Quascacunquen, to begin a town there, which was
granted them, and it was named Newberry."
In the division of land throughout the town, the following
are the names of the most wealthy of the grantees; and their
wealth can be very easily estimated by the number of acres of
land which was granted them.
This was according to the rule agreed upon in London, in
1629, by the " assistants of the company" who settled in Massa¬
chusetts. They gave to each adventurer two hundred acres of
land for every fifty he put into the common stock, and so in pro¬
portion. " Such adventurers as send over any person, were to
have fifty acres for each person whom they send." Every
person who "transported himself and family to New England
at his own expense, should have fifty acres."
To each of the first settlers was granted a house lot of at least
four acres, with a suitable quantity of salt and fresh meadow.

To the other grantees the number of acres varied from ten
to eighty; many of the later settlers obtained the principal part
of their land by purchase, such for instance as George Little,
Robert Adams, Capt. William Gerrish, Richard Dole, Mr.
John, Mr. Richard, and Mr. Percival Lowle, and others.
The town was thirteen miles long, and about six miles
broad in the widest place, and contained about thirty thousand
acres, of which nearly two thousand were covered with water.
1636.
The first water mill erected in Newbury was built at " the
falls," on the river Parker, by Messrs. Dummer and Spencer,
in accordance with the grant from the General Court, and an
agreement with the town in 1635.
The first white male child born in Newbury was Joshua
Woodman, son of Mr. Edmund Woodman. He died the 30th
of May, 1703, in his sixty-seventh year.
1638.
June ijtk.—"The court having left it to the liberty of
particular townes to take, order, and provide, according to their
discretion, for the bringing of armes to the meetinghouse, it is
for the present thought fitt and ordered that the town being di¬
vided in four several equal parts, sayd part shall bring compleat
armes according to the direction of those whom the town hath
appointed to oversee the busynesse in order and manner as fol-
loweth; namely, John Pike, Nicholas Holt, John Baker, and
Edmund Greenlecife being appointed as overseers of the busy¬
nesse, are ordered to follow this course, namely: They shall
give notice to the party of persons under their severall divisions
to bring their armes compleat one Sabbath day in a month and
the lecture day following, in order successively one after another,
and the persons aforementioned shall cause every person under
4
NEWBURY.
their severall divisions to stand sentinell at the doores all the time
of the publick meeting every one after another either by himself
in person or by a sufficient substitute to be allowed by the over¬
seer of the ward. And, further, it is ordered that the sayd over¬
seers shall diligently mark and observe any that shall be defective
in this respect, having lawfull warning, and they together with
the Surveyour of the armes shall collect or distrain twelve pence
for every default, according as hath been thought fitt by order of
the court in this case provided."
Trumbull thus alludes to this practice of the early settlers
in Connecticut, as well as Massachusetts :—
" So once, for fear of Indian beating,
Our grandsires bore their guns to meeting;
Each man equipped on Sunday morn
With psalm book, shot, and powder-horn,
And looked in form, as all must grant,
Like th' ancient true church militant,
Or fierce, like modern deep divines,
Who fight with quills and porcupines."
3:639.
June.—Edmund Greenleaf was ordered to be Ensign for
Newbury.
1641.
The General Court desired "the elders would make a cate¬
chism for the instruction of youth in the grounds of religion."
In compliance with this desire, Mr. James Noyes, of Newbury,
composed "a short catechism for the use of the children." A
copy of this work which was reprinted in 1714 niay be found in
"Coffin's History of Newbury," Appendix B.
1648.
July 15th.—Lieut. Edmund Greenleaf is allowed to keep
an ordinary in Newbury.
1670.
May nth.—The court having left it to the care of the
Major General to make temporary provision for military officers
at Newbury, who did appoint Archelaus Woodman, Lieutenant,
and Stephen Greenleaf', Ensign, confirms their appointment.

Englishmen were murdered in Swanzy by the Indians, as they
were returning from the meetinghouse, it being the day ap¬
pointed as a day of humiliation and prayer throughout Plymouth
County, who, being thus unexpectedly involved in trouble, sent
to the other colonies for assistance. August 5th, Stephen Green-
leaf and others from Newbury, Mass., with fourteen days' pro¬
visions marched against the Indians. (Town Records.)
1676.
March.—Stephen Greenleaf and five others (Selectmen)
report to a court held at Boston measures of protection. (Cof¬
fin's History, p. 118.)

munition. "These ar in his majesty's name to require all the
soldiers belonging to this toune to bring their arms and ammu¬
nition to ye meeting house every Saboth day and at all other
publick meetings, and also they ar required to carry their arms
and ammunition with them into meadows and places where they
worke, and if any man doe refuse or neglect his dewty as above
expressed he shall pay five shillings for every such neglect."
October.—Captain Stephen Greenleaf, Lieut. James
Smith, Ensign William Longfellow, Sergeant Increase Pilsbury,
William Mitchell, Jabez Musgrave of Newbury and four more
were cast away and drowned.
"This year," Robert Pike, of Salisbury, thus writes,

which is the advice that I give to myself, which you cannot but

forth."
This year Essex soldiers were divided into three regiments.

October jtJi.—On the afternoon of this day five Indians
attacked and plundered the house of John Brown, who lives on
the westerly side of Turkey Hill, and " captivated " nine persons ;
only one person of the family escaped to tell the tale. On the
same day Col. Daniel Pierce sent a letter to Colonel Appleton
and Colonel Wade of Ipswich asking for military force to
"range the woods toward Andover, Rowley, and Bradford,"
in pursuit of the Indians.
October 8th, § A. M.—Colonel Appleton writes to Colonel
Gednay, directing that several companies " range the woods
with all possible speed toward Bradford and Andover, and so
toward Merrimack River, so that if it might be ye enemy may be
found and destroyed, which spoyle our people." Three hours
after this, Col. Thomas Wade writes from Ipswich: " Honored
Sir,—Just now Captain Wicom brings information that the last
night Captain Greenleaf, with a party of men met with the
enemy by the river side, have redeemed all the captives but one,
which they doubt is killed. Three of the Indians got into a canoe
and made escape, and the other two ran into the woods. Captain
Greenleaf is wounded in the side and arm, how much we know
not."
1696.
February 28th.—A rate was made for payment of build¬
ing and finishing the west end meetinghouse and ministry house.
* " I hae a guid braid sword,
I'll take dunts frae naebody."—Burns.
NEWBURY.

The expense was twenty-two pounds and three shillings in
money, and two hundred and eighteen pounds eighteen shillings-
and two pence in pay. This was due from sixty-four persons.
Of this number Tristrain Greenleaf and twenty-three others
objected to the continuance of the meetinghouse on the plains,
and wished to have it removed to Pipe Stave Hill.
The contest, thus commenced, continued for many years
with an obstinacy and bitterness to which the annals of Newbury
furnish no parallel. Its result we shall see hereafter.
March ist.—The town granted to Stephen Greenleaf
four or five rods 011 the flats from Watts' cellar spring to Ensign
Greenleaf's, and Mr. Davison's grant from high-water mark to
low-water mark, to build a wharf and a place to build vessels
upon.
March 3th.—Captain Greenleaf petitions the General
Court, relating the affair of the Indians on October 7th previous ;
describes his wounds as " Shot through the wrist between the
bones," also "a large wound in his side, which wounds have been
very painful and costly in the cure of them ; have utterly taken

March 6th.—Read and voted that there be paid out of the
province treasury to the petitioner the sum of forty pounds.
The coat which Captain Greenleaf wore in his pursuit of
the Indians is still preserved by his descendants, together with
the bullet which was extracted from his wound.
This is said to be the only instance in which the Indians
either attacked, " captivated," or killed any of the inhabitants of
Newbury.
1697.
March.—Laid out to Stephen Greenleaf a "parcel of
flats and rocks lying on Merrimac River near Watts' cellary
bounded northerly by the river, easterly by Major Davison's
grant, southerly by the common land of Newbury, and the
westerly bound comes within about fifteen foot of the spring."

Newburyport also in 1781 had ten distill and sugarhouses,
three rope walks, thirty-nine warehouses, and eighty-seven thou¬
sand nine hundred superficial feet of wharf. Newbury, also, in
1781 had sixteen grist, saw, fulling, and slitting mills, one thou¬
sand one hundred and six acres of fresh meadow, three thousand
one hundred and sixty-seven acres of salt marsh, made one thou¬
sand four hundred and thirteen barrels of cider, had eight hun-

In 1819 West Newbury was set off and incorporated as a
separate town.
In 1796 Dr. Dwight thus writes : "Newburyport lies on
the southern shore of the Merrimac. The town is built on a

declivity of unrivalled beauty. The slope is easy and elegant,
the soil rich, the streets clean and sweet; and the verdure, wher¬
ever it is, exquisite. The streets are either parallel, or right
angled to the river; the southern shore of which bends here tow¬
ards the southeast. There are few towns of equal beauty in
this country. The houses taken collectively make a better ap¬
pearance than those of any other town in New England. Many
of them are particularly handsome, their appendages also un¬
usually neat.
"From the tower of the church belonging to the fifth con¬
gregation, a noble prospect is presented to the spectator.
" On the west and south spreads an extensive champaign*
country, ornamented with good farmers' houses, orchards, and
cultivated fields, and varied by a number of beautiful hills.
"Behind them rise, remotely, two mountains, finely connect¬
ing the landscape with the sky. On the north flows the Merri-
mac, visible about four miles, exhibiting two islands in its
bosom near the point where it first appears, and joining the
ocean between two sandbanks, on which are erected two mova¬
ble lighthouses. On the north shore stand the towns of Salis¬
bury and Amesbury. Behind this the country rises gradually,
parted into a variety of eminences; one of them, which from
its appropriation by the savages is called Powow Hill, particu¬
larly handsome. Over all these ascends, at the distance of
twenty-five miles, the round summit of Agamenticus. North¬
eastward, the Isles of Shoals appear at the distance of eight
leagues, like a cloud in the horizon. Eastward the Ocean
spreads illimitably. At a small distance from the shore Plum
Island, a wild and fantastic sand beach, is thrown up by the joint
power of winds and waves into the thousand wanton figures of a
snowdrift. Immediately beneath is the town itself, which with
its churches and beautiful houses, its harbor and shipping, ap¬
pears as the proper center of this circle of scenery, and leaves on
the mind a cheerfulness and brilliancy strongly resembling that
which accompanies a delightful morning in May.
"Newbury contains five parishes, in which are five congre¬
gations and a Society of Friends. It is all settled in plantations,
formed especially along the Merrimac, of excellent land under
good cultivation. The surface is generally pleasant, and re-

markably so on the borders of the river from some of the emi-~-
nences." These eminences, of which the doctor speaks, are
principally in West Newbury, and are called Pipe-Stave, Crane- „
Neck, Archelaus, Old-town, and Indian Hills. Newbury has
the honor of having the first incorporated academy in the State,
the first toll bridge, the first chain bridge, the first incorporated
woolen factory. The first vessel that displayed the American
flag in the river Thames was the "Count de Grasse," com¬
manded by Captain Nicholas Johnson, of Newburyport, and the
first United States ship of war, the "Adams" was built at New¬
buryport.
Captain Nicholas Johnson was the third son of Eleazer
•and Elizabeth (Pierce) Johnson, of Newburyport. He was born
Nov. 4, 1752, and married, Dec. 12, 1776, Mary Perkins. Their
children were Nicholas, Anne Greenleaf, Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah,
Philip, Abel, Benjamin Greenleaf, and Henry. His father,
Eleazer, was born in 1720, and lived to 1792. He was in the
prime of life when the oppression of the colonies commenced,
and his sons were old enough to be participators in the Revolu¬
tionary struggle. William Johnson, his great grandfather, was
born in Charlestown, Mass., in 1671, and removed to Newbury
in 1698, and married Martha Pierce, on the Pierce—or Peaixe
—farm, later as the Pettingill, and now known as the Little
farm, and succeeded in business his relative and associate,
Thomas Johnson, who was the first shipbuilder in Newbury¬
port. His first vessel being of thirty tons ; his yard being located
" southeasterly from Chandler Lane (Federal Street)," as Wil¬
liam Chandler testifies in court in 1700. At the date of his
coming there, there were but two houses on the whole of Water
Street below, though it had been a public street more than fifty
years. One of these houses is the " old Johnson house," said to
have been built about 1648.
The ship carpenters were among the most active of the pa¬
triots, and Eleazer Johnson was one of their leaders. He was
a man above the ordinary size, with black hair, a black, flashing
eye, and dark complexion, firm set, and remarkable for his
strength. It was said of him that he could carry timber over
•the bows of a vessel against any four men of his yard. Such
have been the physical characteristics of the Johnson family,
accompanied with great strength of mind, great patriotism, and
NEWBURY.
great industry; and therefore for more than two hundred years
they have been marked men in the town, of superior intelli¬
gence, wealth, and influence.
As an interesting reminiscence of those stirring times in the
history of " Ould Newberry,"—for these old towns of Newbury,
Newburyport, and West Newbury alike cling to the dear name
of "Ould Newberry,"—is related of the ship carpenters, and
their devotion to their pastor, the Rev. Mr. Parsons, who was
among the most active in defense of liberty, that at a meeting on
Sunday, at the close of one of his sermons, he called for volun¬
teers to step forward in the church for the formation of a military
company. The company was at once formed. On a previous
occasion, in the year that the Powder House was built, 1754, the
town voted that the bill granting '' an excise on distilled spirits was
an infringement on the natural rights of Englishmen" ; for this
vote, all the carpenters in town held up their hands; they knew
when eleven and four o'clock came in the yards (an allowance of
grog was given them). Next after came the stamp oppression,
and here again they were united; and from these shipyards,
more than elsewhere, came the processions that marched about
the town with fife and drum, calling upon every man to answer
the question, " Stamp, or no stamp." If the answer was
" Stamp," they knocked him down, hissed him, or otherwise
showed their displeasure; if "No stamp," the answer was,
"Fall in. Join us." No neutrals were allowed. Eleazer
Johnson was in the head ranks of this semi-rebellion.
Of the destruction of the tea in Newburyport, it is related
that it was stored in the Powder House for safe keeping. Elea¬
zer Johnson standing one day upon the timber of his yard,
called his men about him, and after a few pati'iotic words gave
the order, " All who are ready to join, knock your adzes from
their handles, shoulder the handles, and follow me." Every
adz in the yard was knocked off, and that stout, athletic man,
who would have marched through a regiment of " Red Coats"
had they stood in his way, taking his broad axe as an emblem
of leadership and for use, marched at the head of the company
to the Powder House. There that well tried axe opened a way
through the door, and each man shouldered his chest of tea, and
again fell into line. They marched direct to the market, and
then, in single file around the old meetinghouse, where the

pump now is, when Johnson's axe opened his chest, and box
and tea were on the ground together. Each man as he came up
did the same; then, with his own hand Johnson lighted the
pile and burned it to ashes; and on that spot, without disguise,
the ship carpenters of Newburyport destroyed the first tea that
was destroyed in America.
Twice in Newburyport was resistance to the tea imposition
made; once by burning it in Federal Street, and again in the
market.
Newburyport held a meeting December 23d, and Newbury
December 29, 1772, and chose committees, the former of twelve
persons, the latter of sixteen, "to take under consideration our
public grievances '' and '' the infringement of our rights and lib¬
erties," and to report, and so forth. In both meetings allusion
was made to the able pamphlet " received from Boston" and of
their proceedings at a meeting November 20th.
1773-
January 1st.—The town "voted that Captain Jonathan
Greenleaf, our representative, be acquainted that it is the desire
and expectation of this town that he will persevere with steadiness
and resolution in conjunction with his brethren in the honorable
House of Representatives to use his utmost endeavors to procure
a full and complete redress of all our publick grievances, and to
do everything in his power in order that the present and succeed¬
ing generations may have the full enjoyment of all those privi¬
leges and advantages, which naturally and necessarily result
from our glorious constitution."
December gtk.—At a numerous (informal) meeting of the
people of Newburyport and others, a committee of five was
chosen, who reported the following, which was accepted:
"We have taken into consideration the late proceedings of the
town of Boston relating to the importation of tea by the East
India Company into America, and do acquiesce in their pro¬
ceedings and are determined to give them all the assistance in
our power even at the risqite of our lives and fortune"
On December 16, 1773, were moored at Griffins Wharf, in
Boston, three British ships with cargoes of tea. About ninety
citizens of Boston, partly disguised as Indians, poured the three

J3
ships' cargoes, three hundred and forty chests in all, into the
sea, and made the world ring with the exploit of the Boston Tea
Party.
" No! ne'er was mingled such a draught,
In palace, hall or arbor,
As freemen brewed, and tyrants quaffed,
That night in Boston harbor! "
Philip Johnson, born 1743, the oldest son of Eleazer John¬
son, was a volunteer in the Revolutionary War, and was engaged
in the battle of Bunker Hill; and at the close of the war he
returned to the business of his father, living in what is called the
" Johnson house," below Ship Street, and working in the old
yard opposite. He was distinguished as a builder, and there is
now in possession of the family a beautiful and valuable silver
tankard, evidence of the consideration in which he was held by
merchant contractors. It bears this inscription : "Presented by
Heard and Amory (of Boston) to Mr. Philip Johnson, as a
token of their respect for his fidelity in building the ship
"Pomona," in 1795."
William Pierce Johnson, born 1745, the second son, married,
October, 1770, Sarah Greenleaf, born May 31, 1753 (daughter of
Hon. Jonathan Greenleaf) ; like all his brothers was brought
up to the use of the axe, the saw, and the mallet, but afterwards
left them for the waters. He was successful as a shipmaster,
and when the war of '76 commenced he was in one of the
French West Indies Islands in the Brig "American Hero,"—a
very appropriate name for the times, the commander, and the
business he entered upon. Hearing that war existed, he imme¬
diately loaded his vessel with arms and ammunition and sailed
for Boston, which port he reached in safety, to the great joy of
patriots who were in want of such a cargo, the first material
aid they had received.
In 1798 he built the wharf that has since borne his name;
after the building of which he did a very profitable business.
His vessels were constantly arriving from Honduras with
mahogany and other woods; from the West Indies with coffee,
sugar, molasses, and rum; from the "Straits" with brandy,
fruits, soap, olive oil, etc. ; from the north of Europe with hemp
and iron; and he, first in the history of Newburyport, had a
freighting ship, named the "Industry," principally employed in
H
NEWBURY.
carrying tobacco from the James River to Europe. Had he
lived, he was in a way to become very wealthy; but when less
than sixty years old, apparently in pei-fect health, and without
any premonition, he died, sitting in a chair, in his own house.
As it was, he left an estate of about $120,000. The town
mourned his loss. It is doubtful if he left behind one merchant
more intelligent, upright, liberal minded, and accomplished, as
a gentleman, than himself. His personal appearance was indic¬
ative of his whole nature,—tall, well proportioned, athletic,
commanding, and powerful. At the time of his death he
weighed two hundred and sixty-five pounds, and was strong in
proportion to his size. It was customary formerly, more than
now, for men to pride themselves on their ability to lift, run,
wrestle, etc. Mr. Bartlett, Capt. William Millbury, and Cap¬
tain Johnson were each of them giants in strength, and each
was a little jealous of the other. Their boasts of strength would
frequently lead to trials of their power; one of which was in
raising fifty-six pound weights. Mr. Bartlett and Captain
Millbury could lift seventeen. Captain Johnson raised eighteen,
and was pronounced the strongest man in town.
Nicholas Johnson, born 1752, the third son of Eleazer, and
whom we have referred to as commanding the ship " Count de
Grasse," under letter of marque in the Revolutionary War,
was the first to hoist the American flag in the Thames River
after Independence. The Stars and Stripes, seen at the British
metropolis for the first time, caused quite a commotion, and
hundreds and thousands of Englishmen came down to see the
vessel. Capt. Nicholas Johnson superintended the construction
of the Government ship "Warren," at Salisbury, Mass., which
vessel sailed from Newburyport, under the command of Timothy
Newman, who had been an Algerine captive, and who died on
board at Havana the following year. Among the children of
Capt. Nicholas Johnson were Nicholas, associated in business
with Capt. J. N. Cushing, who married his sister Elizabeth,
Tan. 3, 1815 ; and Henry Johnson, who was the second mayor
of Newburyport. Joseph Johnson, born 1754, the fourth son
of Eleazer, was also a shipmaster, and died very suddenly at his
residence at the foot of Ship Street. Among his children were
Eleazer, on High Street, a sea captain for many years, and
afterwards president of the Mechanics Bank.
NEWBURY.

Of the children of Capt. William Pierce Johnson, who
married Sarah Greenleaf, there were six,—Mary, Catharine,
William Pierce, Sarah, Eleazer and Jonathan (twins). William
Pierce Johnson married, first, Henrietta Tracy; second, Sarah
Waite. By the first marriage he had three children,—William
Pierce, Margaret Laughton, and Edward Augustus. Margaret
Laughton Johnson married the Rev. Patrick Henry Greenleaf
(son of Hon. Simon), April, 1S29.
The twins, Eleazer and Jonathan Greenleaf Johnson, born
Nov. 12, 1790, were noted men in Newburyport, and were
worthy descendants of their ancestry; genial, polite, and honor¬
able in all their intercourse with others. In stature large,
they were, like their father, powerfully built, and of strong
and massive form, and of striking likeness to him and each
other. Few people have lived or could live in a community
and be more intimately connected with the town and its people.
Capt. Eleazer Johnson for forty years, save one, held the
office of town and city clerk, during the entire period from
the 28th of March, 1831, until the date of his death, Feb. 27,
1S70. He had previously filled the office of selectman and
overseer of the poor; the greater part of his life having been as
a public officer of the town and city. From this standpoint he
gazed upon a whole generation as they came and went. He
watched the human wave rolling onto the shore; heard its
dash; and saw it receding into the fathomless abyss. He took
the names of that whole generation as they were born; he signed
the certificates of their marriages ; he recorded their deaths. It
was but half of his life, but the whole of theirs; and all
through it he was the same genial, pleasant, and noble specimen
of a man. He had a kind word for the young and old; a
friendly greeting for the rich and poor; and in turn was the
object of their confidence and respect.
The other twin, the doctor, bore the name of their maternal
grandfather, Hon. Jonathan Greenleaf, who, like the Johnsons,
was distinguished for patriotism and statesmanship. The
doctor's life was one of untiring industry and devotion to his
profession, and one of kind words and kind acts, which had
strongly attached the people to him. For fifty-five years they
had seen him on the streets, ever on foot,—for he seldom used a
carriage,—with a smile, and a bow, and a pleasant word for high

or low, rich or poor, old or young. They loved the man that
forgot himself in heat or cold, in sunshine or storm, by day or
night, for their health and comfort, never asking to be excused
even when years began to weigh heavily upon him; and never
inquiring whether there was to be material recompense for his
labors. They had met him in their homes when the house was
to be gladdened by a new voice,—a new object to love,—or when
affliction, and sorrow, and death were ci*ossing the threshold;
but whether they were in gladness or grief, he was the un¬
changed friend in sympathy to perform his duty and to help
them in the way of life. They had come to know and love him,
and the announcement of his sickness and of his death gave
anxiety and sorrow to many a heart, and especially among the
poor. He died Sept. 9, 1868.
During the periods of appi-ehension and excitement which
were preparing the people for the arduous conflict before them,
they found opportunities for amusement, peculiar to their situa¬
tion. "Many cases like the following might be given, which I
relate," says Mr. Coffin, in his history of Newbury, "on the
testimony of an eyewitness, Mr. Caleb Greenleaf of Haver¬
hill, and the public papers." February 15, 1774, one Holland
Shaw, having been detected in stealing a shirt, was immediately
taken before a sort of extempore court, convened for the occa¬
sion, and was sentenced as follows; namely, "that he parade
through the public streets of the town, accompanied by the
town-crier with his drum." The sentence was forthwith put into
execution. The town-crier, William Douglass, with his brass-
barrelled drum, and the thief with the shirt, headed the procession,
which took up its line of march. The paper of that day in¬
forms us " that he was compelled to proclaim his crime, and
produce the evidence, which was the shirt, with the sleeves tied
round his neck, the other part on his back." The proclamation
which he was compelled to utter with a loud voice was, " I stole
this shirt, which is tied round my neck, from Mr. Joseph Coffin's
house in Salisbury, and I am very sorry for it." Having been
thus marched through the principal streets, and satisfied the de¬
mands of this new court of justice, he was dismissed, and never
after that night was he seen in Newburyport.
Another person who had stolen some salt fish, was com¬
pelled to make atonement for the offense by parading through
NEWBURY.
J7
the streets, holding a salt fish in his hands above his head, and
proclaiming his crime in a similar manner, "I stole this fish,
and five quintals more."
An English sailor was also marched round the town with
a pair of stolen breeches tied round his neck, informing the
people what he had, and how he obtained them.
1774.
October 3.—The town of Newburyport met, and gave
instructions to Captain Jonathan Greenleaf, their represent¬
ative, of the most determined and decided character. The
following is an extract: " Armed ships and armed men are the
arguments to compel our obedience, and the more than implicit
language that these utter is that we must submit or die. But
God grant that neither of these may be our unhappy fate. We
design not madly to brave our own destruction, and we do not
thirst for the blood of others, but reason and religion demand
of us that we guard our invaluable rights at the risque of both,"
and so forth.
October 24th.—The town of Newburyport held a meeting,
and " Voted, that all the inhabitants be desired to furnish them¬
selves with arms and ammunition, and have bayonets fixed to
their guns, as soon as may be."
November 5th.—The last public celebration of "Pope
Day," so called from the discovery of the "Gunpowder Plot,"
Nov. 5, 1605, occurred this year. The celebration went off
with a great flourish. In the daytime companies of little boys
might be seen, in various parts of the town, with their little
popes dressed up in the most grotesque and fantastic manner,
which they carried about, some on boards and some on little
carriages, for their own and others' amusement. But the great
exhibition was reserved for the night, in which young men, as
well as boys, participated. They first constructed a huge
vehicle, forty feet long, eight or ten feet wide, and five or six
feet high from the lower to the upper platform, on the front
of which they erected a paper lantern, capacious enough to
hold, in addition to the lights, five or six persons. Behind
that, as large as life, sat the mimic pope, and several other
personages—monks, friars, and so forth. Last, but not least,
i8
NEWBURY.
stood an image of what was designed to be a representation
of Old Nick himself, furnished with a pair of huge horns,
holding in his hand a pitchfork, and otherwise accoutered
with all the frightful ugliness that their ingenuity could devise.
Their next step, after they had mounted their ponderous vehi¬
cle on four wheels, chosen their officers, captain, first and
second lieutenants, and purser, was to place a boy under the
platform, to elevate and move round, at proper intervals, the
movable head of the pope, attached to ropes on the front part of
the machine, and take their line of march through the principal
streets of the town. Sometimes, in addition to the images of
the pope and his company, there might be found, on the same
platform, half a dozen dancers and a fiddler, whose
" Hornpipes, jigs, strathspeys and reels,
Put life and mettle in their heels,"
together with a large crowd, who made up a long procession.
December 28th.—Town of Newburyport chose Tristram
Dalton, Esquire, Captain Jonathan Greenleaf, and Mr.
Stephen Cross, "to represent this town in the provincial con¬
gress to be held at Cambridge, in February next."
In 1774, the right granted in the time of William and Mary
for the inhabitants to choose persons as jurymen was taken
away, and all jurymen, grand and petty, were returnable to
the sheriff only,—the creature of the royal governor's appoint¬
ment, thus insuring, in every case between the government and
the people, a packed jury, ready to express the will of the
governor; and as if this was not enough, it was further ordained
"that on motion of either of the parties, a cause or action
might be tried in any other county than that where the
action was first brought." All this and much more of the
same nature was enforced by fines and penalties, laying the
whole province at the complete mercy of the governor and
his minions.
In view of these dangerous innovations a town meeting was
called in August, and it was unanimously voted to answer to a
proposal from the Committee of Safety, at Marblehead, "that
in the opinion of this town the situation of our public affairs
claims the attention of every true friend of his country, and
demands an exertion of their utmost abilities to preserve it from
newbury.

that infamy and ruin that now stare us in the face ; wherefore,
we do most earnestly concur in the proposal for a county meet¬
ing, and accordingly appoint Tristram Dalton, Esq., Mr.
Jonathan Jackson, Captain Jonathan Greenleaf, Messrs.
Stephen Cross, and John Broomfield, a committee on the part
of this town, to meet with the committees of the other towns
in this county, when and where shall be judged most conven¬
ient, in order that they may from time to time deliberate, pro¬
pose, and pursue all such measures as may have the most prob¬
able tendency to serve the interests of the community, in this
time of difficulty and danger; this Committee to continue until
the further order of this town, and to have a reasonable allow¬
ance for their services.
Voted nem. con. Stephen Sew all,
Attest: a true copy. Town Clerk"
The delegates appointed by Newburyport to meet with
those from other towns in the county of Essex, met at Ipswich,
on the 6th and 7th of September.
Among the final resolves were the following :—
"Resolved,—That the Act of Parliament, entitled 'An
Act for the better regulating the Government of the Province
of the Massachusetts Bay, in New England,' being a most dan¬
gerous infraction of our constitutional and charter rights, and
tending to a total subversion of the government of the prov¬
ince, and destruction of our liberties; and having been with
uncommon zeal, with arbitrary exertions, and military violence
attempted to be carried into execution, and this zeal and violence
still continuing : from the sacred regard, the inviolable attach¬
ment we owe to those rights which are essential to, and distinguish
us as, Englishmen and freemen, and from a tender concern for
the peace of this country, we are bound to pursue all reason¬
able measures by which any attempts to enforce immediate
obedience to that Act may be defeated.
" That the Judges, Justices, and other civil officers in this
county, appointed agreeable to the charter and the laws of the
province, are the only civil officers in the county whom we
20
NEWBURY.
may lawfully obey. That no authority whatever can remove
those officers, except that which is constituted pursuant to the
charter and those laws. That it is the duty of these officers to
continue in the execution of their respective trusts as if the
aforementioned Act of Parliament had never been made. And
that while they thus continue, untainted by any official miscon¬
duct, in conformity to said Act, we will vigorously support
them therein, to the utmost of our power, indemnify them in their
persons and property, and to their lawful doings yield a ready
obedience."
It having been intimated that the next court to be held in
Newburyport would not be permitted to sit, it was resolved by
the delegates of Essex County, who met at Ipswich, "that all
the judges and other officers held their commissions agreeably
to the charter and the laws of the province," and therefore
ought to be sustained by the county; that it was the duty of the
officers to continue their functions the same as if the late Act
of Parliament had never passed ; and that while they continue
"untainted by any official misconduct, the county will sup¬
port them."
And the people of Newburyport fulfilled their part of the
above resolve at a town meeting held September 28th, Jonathan
Greenleaf being moderator. It was voted that '' the determina¬
tion of the county delegates expressed in their late meeting at
Ipswich ought to be adhered to, and the court supported in
the exercise of their constitutional authority, and accordingly we
will, as far as in our power, support them. But if any officers
of the court presume to. act under the new and oppressive regu¬
lations, they must cease to expect support from us."
The court was held, and the county and town resolutions
carried out by the people as confidently as if those addresses
had been legal legislative Acts.
One Nathan Brown, of Newburyport, having accepted a
commission as undersheriff, grounded on the late offensive Act
of Parliament, was waited upon by the committee of the town
and informed that he had thus incurred the displeasure of his
fellow-citizens. He made a formal and public renunciation of his
commission, promising in future to maintain the old charter
privileges, and in no case to accept an office from the new
administration.

The following Committee of Safety and Correspondence
was appointed by the town, Sept. 23, 1774 ;—
The town was divided into military lines. Every male
over sixteen years of age was required to appear " complete in
arms and ammunition," either under officers commanding in- %
dependent companies, or in one of the four existing companies
belonging to the town. These were required to meet for prac¬
tice in the military art, such persons only to be excepted whom
the field officer " judged unfit or unable."
The people were now preparing in earnest for the coming
struggle, and were providing themselves with arms and ammu¬
nition. The Committee of Safety of Newburyport reported in
November " that the people throughout the town were well sup¬
plied with arms, and those few who were deficient were resolved
immediately to obtain them." During the winter the town was
thoroughly canvassed, and every man capable of bearing arms
was enrolled in one of the regular or independent companies.
By the spring of 1775 the town was put in a state of
thorough preparation for war. The Committee of Safety had
divided the whole town into four military districts, having their
alarm posts, etc. The harbor was protected by sinking piers in
the channel, not obstructing the whole passage, but in such a
way that it would be difficult for strangers to find the passage.
A fort was also built on Salisbury shore, called " Fort Merri-
mac," and, shortly after, another on Plum Island. These har-
bor defenses cost £2,433, ^s. Military stores, and even

provisions, were laid up ; heavy cannon purchased; arms pro¬
vided for such as wished to enlist in the Provincial Service, and
needed such assistance, and arrangements were made for sup¬
plying their families during their absence; and the Committee of
Safety was authorized to incur "any expense which the safety
of the town or county required."
About this time came the news of the seizure of the public
stores at Concord, by the British troops, or " regulars," as those
stationed in Boston were generally called, and of the Battle of
Lexington. A company at once marched from Newburyport to
Lexington, having left the town at eleven o'clock at night, that
no time might be lost in offering their assistance.
It was now perceived that peace was impossible. General
Gage with his troops had already invested Boston, and the min¬
isters from their pulpits joined their persuasions to the general
voice of the town, and treated their hearers to patriotic and polit¬
ical addresses, as well as dispensing religious instruction.
Rev. Jonathan Parsons made an appeal at the close of one
of his sermons for volunteers, and a volunteer company was
immediately formed, with Ezra Lunt as captain. On the 9th
of May ensuing, this company was provided with accouterments
by the town; and that they used them right well, Bunker Hill
soon after witnessed.
They left the plough in the corn,
They left the steer in the yoke,
And away from mother and child that morn,
And the maiden's first kiss, they broke.
In the shower of the deadly shot,
In the lurid van of the war,
Sternly they stood—but they answered not
To the hireling's wild hurrah.
But still as the brooding storm,
Ere it dashes ocean to foam,
The strength of the free was in every arm,
And every heart on its home.
Of their pleasant homes they thought,
They prayed to their fathers' God;
But forward they went, till their dear blood bought
The broad, free land they trod.
Fast fled morn's shadows gray,
And with the breaking day,
Our hearts grew still;

But ere that ruddy beam
Tinged Mystic's silent stream,
Flashed the red cannons' gleam
By Bunker Hill.
We from our fort's low crest,
Our muskets down at rest,
Glance in a row;
There, not a drumbeat stirred,
But " Steady ! "—all we heard—
" Keep your fire, wait the word,
Then, boys, aim low! "
" Fire, fire ! " the order came—
Heavens ! what a burst of flame !
True every marksman's aim.
Broken, they fly the hill;
Our shot, with right good will,
Follows them fast.
Our chief, from rank to rank,
And Putnam on our flank,
Marked how we stood ;
Stark, grimly calm, was there,
Pomeroy with silvery hair,
Knowlton, none braver were,
Chester, as good.
These verses were written by the late Hon. George Lunt.

On the morning of June 17th, when Captain Perkins
reached Charlestown Neck with his men, he found it was com¬
manded by the shot from the "Glasgow," man-of-war, and
also by two floating batteries, which kept up a heavy cross fire
on the American troops who attempted to pass. Finding it
growing rather warm, he threw away his wig, ordered his men
to follow in single file, and made the passage without loss.
From a pamphlet* published by Col. Samuel Swett, of
Boston (son of the late Dr. J. Barnard Swett, of Newburyport),
it appears that three of this company were wounded; and as two
of these, and one of Frye's regiment, belonging to Newburyport,
were called to give some evidence concerning the conduct of
General Putnam in that battle, and thus incidentally state the
position of their respective companies on the ground, the follow¬
ing extracts appear:—
Philip Bagley, well known as the Deputy Sheriff of New¬
buryport for over thirty years, was attached to Frye's regiment.

He says : " Went over night; fought at the breastwork till they
turned the corner of the rail fence, and began to rake the whole
breastwork; the shot were very thick."
Philip Johnson, of Newburyport, of Captain Perkins'
company, stated before Ebenezer Mosely, Esq. : " Was at the
rail fence ; while thei-e, just before the action began, saw General
Putnam on horseback; very near him, and distinctly heard him
say: ' Men, you know you are all good marksmen; you can
take a squirrel from the tallest tree. Doit't fire till you see the
whites of their eyes.' Immediately after the first retreat of the
British, General Putnam rode up and said : ' Men, you have done
well, but next time you will do better ; aim at the officers.'' The
balls were flying as thick as peas."
In the report made to Congress by the " Committee for
Massachusetts," the report says : "The artillery advanced towards
the open space between the breastwork and rail fence; this
ground was defended by some brave Essex troops, covered only
by scattered ti'ees. With resolution and deadly aim they poured
the most destructive volleys on the enemy. The (enemy's)
cannon, however, turned the breastwork, enfiladed the line, and
sent the balls through the open gateway, or sally port, directly
into the redoubt, under cover of which the troops at the breast¬
work were compelled to retire. Capt. Ezra Lunt's company
was ordered up to cover the retreat of these exhausted troops,
whose ammunition was now all expended. His company did
good service, and with the aid of others forming this devoted
rear guard, effectually kept the enemy at bay till the retreat was
accomplished ; but many of them were killed or wounded."

The detachment under Arnold destined for the siege of
Quebec encamped at Newburyport for several days, awaiting
the transports which were to convey them to the Kennebec.
Here an addition was made to their numbers. Among others
who joined them was the Rev. Samuel Spring (afterwards
pastor of the Third Religious Society of Newburyport), who
accompanied the expedition in the capacity of chaplain; they
embarked on the morning of September 19th. The detachment
consisted of ten companies of musketmen and three companies
of riflemen, amounting to eleven hundred men, on board ten
transports, sailed for Kennebec,—fifty leagues from Newburyport.
General Arnold was entertained while here by Messrs.
Nathaniel Tracy and Tristram Dalton, whose mansions were
well accustomed to the presence of distinguished guests.
Newburyport early engaged in privateering, by which for a
while her merchants retrieved the losses they had voluntarily en¬
countered by agreeing to the Non-importation Act, by which
their staple business of building ships for the British was
destroyed. But, eventually, little was gained, the size of the
vessels being ill adapted to cope with the heavy ships of the
British navy. Many of them, after successful and daring cruises,
were finally captured; while many more became a prey to the
elements. The clearances of twenty-two vessels are recorded as
having left Newburyport with a thousand or more men, who

never returned. One of this unfortunate class was the " Yankee
Hero," a privateer of about eighteen guns, commanded by James
Tracy, for some time successful; but on one of her cruises she
encountered the British frigate "Milford," a heavy vessel, much
too superior in force to have been voluntarily engaged; and,
notwithstanding her immense superiority, Captain Tracy
engaged her, and fought desperately for two hours before he
surrendered. On being exchanged, and returning home, he was
furnished with another privateer of the same name, and of
twenty guns, manned with one hundred and seventy men, in¬
cluding some fifty young volunteers from the first families of
Newburyport and vicinity. She sailed from the port, and neither
vessel, officers, nor crew, were heard of more.
The first privateer fitted out in the United States sailed from
this port, and was owned by Nathaniel Tracy, Esq. (a relative
of Capt. James Tracy, of the "Yankee Hero"), the first of
whose fleet sailed in August, 1775. From that time to 1783?
Mr. Tracy was the principal owner of one hundred and ten
merchant vessels, having an aggregate tonnage of fifteen thousand
six hundred and sixty, which with their cargoes were valued at
$2,733,300. Twenty-three of the above vessels were under letters
of marque, and mounted two hundred and ninety-eight carriage
guns, and registered one thousand six hundred and eighteen men.
Of this one hundred and ten sail, but thirteen were left at the end
of the war; all the rest were taken by the enemy or lost.
During this same period Mr. Tracy was also the principal owner
of twenty-four cruising ships, the combined tonnage of which
was six thousand three hundred and thirty, carrying three hundred
and forty guns, six, nine, and twelve pounders, and navigated
by two thousand eight hundred men. When it is considered
that these were in addition to the letter of marque vessels, it ex¬
hibits Mr. Tracy rather as a naval than a "merchant" prince.
Of these twenty-four cruisers, only one remained at the close
of the war. But they had not been idle, nor were they ignobly
surrendered. These ships captured from the enemy one hundred
and twenty sail, amounting to twenty-three thousand three
hundred and sixty tons, which, with their cargoes, were sold for
three million nine hundred and fifty thousand specie dollars
(one hundred and sixty-seven thousand two hundred and nineteen
dollars Mr. Tracy devoted to the army and other public demands) ;

and with these prizes were taken two thousand two hundred and
twenty-five men, prisoners of war.*
Nathaniel Tracy was the son of Patrick Tracy, who was
bora in Ireland in 1711, and died in Newburyport Feb. 28,
i789-
On the large monument in St. Paul's churchyard is the
following :—
"Underneath lie the remains of Patrick Tracy, Esquire,
who departed this life February 28, 1789, aged 78 years. In
various and strongly contrasted scenes of life he eminently shone
a man, a citizen, and a Christian. His firm expectation of
another existence moderated his temper in Prosperity, supported
him in Adversity, and enabled him to triumph in Death."
He was a very prosperous and princely merchant. By his
second marriage he had three children, Nathaniel, John, and
Hannah.
Mr. Tracy married first Hannah Carter, of Hampton, Mass.,
Jan. 25, 1742. She was bora 1718, and died March 27, 1746.
He married second, Hannah Gookin, of Newbury, Mass., July
25, 1749. She was born 1723, and died Aug. 20, 1756. He
married third, Mary, widow of Michael Dalton; born, 1711,
died, Dec. 10, 1791.
Nathaniel graduated at Harvard College in 1769, and after
leaving the University settled as a merchant in Newburyport, his
birthplace, in company with Hon. Jonathan Jackson, his brother-
in-law, an accomplished gentleman and thorough merchant. He
married a lady of one of the first families of the State. She was
of great personal beauty, and the daughter of the illustrious
patriot of the Revolution, Col. Lee, of Marblehead.
Mr. Tracy was soon known for the variety, extent, and
success of his business. At the commencement of the Revolu¬
tion he was foremost among the Sons of Liberty, and staked his
fortune, his fame, and life 011 the event of the contest. So
Midas-like did he appear to accumulate his riches, that he seemed
justified in lavishing vast sums to maintain his establishment in
the most sumptuous manner. His stables were famed for con-

taining the most spirited horses and finest equipages of the day,
and the grounds were the most beautiful in Essex County. In
front of the mansion were ornamental trees which he imported
from England. The garden in the rear was stocked with the
choicest fruit trees, also imported. There were fine fish ponds.
Throughout the whole there was displayed an air of aristocratic
taste and luxurious habit, rivaling the establishments of the
Dutch burgomasters of an earlier date; so that it was literally a
wonder of the times.
He had an admirable farm in Newbury, and another in
Medford. He was also the owner of the Vassal house, known
in later days as the Longfellow or Craigie house, in Cambridge,
Mass., which General Washington made his headquarters while
staying there. He was a gentleman of polished manners and
high character and standing, contributing very greatly by his
public spirit toward the improvement of his native town.
"Every one," says a writer in Echoes From Old Essex (reprinted
in Newburyport Herald, July 18, 1874), "was found around
him who could bring tongue, pen, sword, wealth, or influence
into the cause of liberty and independence. The magnitude of
his commercial relations, his patriotic sacrifices in the cause of
his country, the munificence and hospitality of his establishments,
his patronage to deserving individuals, threw around him a
Medicean splendor, which attracted the gaze and reached the
hearts of citizen and stranger. Such a man, and the necessity
for such a one, will never probably again occur in this country."
But the sun whose beams were so gorgeous, and waked into
life and action such a busy creation, was soon to suffer an
eclipse, and be forever shorn of its original brightness. The
British, who were mortified and vexed at losing so much valuable
property by American cruisers, made such efforts toward the
close of the war that most of the American armed vessels and
merchantmen were swept from the ocean. The days of ad¬
versity began now to thicken on his calendar as rapidly as the
days of prosperity once did; and misfortune followed mis¬
fortune, until at last he was stripped of his vast wealth, and he
retired to his farm in Newbury, which had been secured to his
family by his father, and avoided the world during the rest of
his remaining days. During his prosperity he was universally
loved and honored, and in his adversity he retained the esteem

of his fellow-citizens. The man who did so much good, and at
such a period, freely and heartily merits of his country a splendid
monument and an ample page in her annals.
John Tracy was a man of education, excellent disposition,
and gentlemanly manners. In the Revolutionary War he com¬
manded an independent military company in Newburyport, and
served in General Sullivan's army in Rhode Island as aide-de¬
camp to General Glover. For many years he was one of the
port inspectors. Thomas Jefferson was an intimate friend of
Mr. Tracy's, and wrote some poetry concerning him. He was
a guest of Mr. Tracy for some time with his eldest daughter and
a female slave, and they embarked with Mr. Tracy in his ship
"Ceres" for England, where Mr. Jefferson debarked and Mr.
Tracy sailed for Portugal. The Marquis de Chastellux, the
Vicompte de Vaudreuil, M. de Montesquieu, and the famous
Talleyrand, visited Newburyport in 1780 with a letter of intro¬
duction to Mr. John Tracy; but before it was delivered Mr.
Tracy and Colonel Wigglesworth called to invite them to pass
the evening with Mr. Tracy.
The Marquis de Chastellux writes of this visit: "This
colonel remained with me till Mr. Tracy finished his business,
when he came with two handsome carriages, well equipped, and
conducted me and my aide-de-camps to his country house. (This
was the mansion on High Street, above the former Dexter
House.) I went by moonlight to see the garden, which is com¬
posed of different terraces. There is likewise a hothouse and a
number of young trees. The house is handsome and well
finished, and everything breathes that air of magnificence ac¬
companied with simplicity which is only to be found among
merchants. The evening passed rapidly by the aid of agreeable
conversation and a few glasses of punch. At ten o'clock an
excellent supper was served. We drank good wine; Miss Lee
(Mrs. Tracy's cousin) sung, and prevailed upon Messrs. de
Vaudreuil and Talleyrand to sing also. Towards midnight the
ladies withdrew, but we continued drinking Madeira and Xery.
Mr. Tracy, according to the custom of the country, offered us
pipes, which were accepted by M. de Talleyrand and M. de
Montesquieu ; the consequence of which was that they became
intoxicated, and were led home, where they were happy to get to
bed. As to myself, I remained perfectly cool, and continued to
converse on trade and politics with Mr. Tracy."

The brothers Nathaniel and John Tracy were associated in
business interests, and they resided, each, in one of the two com¬
panion houses on High Street, next in grandeur to the house
built for Nathaniel by his father, Patrick Tracy, on State Street,
known as the "Tracy" house, and now the Public Library.
Their houses were thronged by men of letters, officers, naval and
military, merchants, foreigners, and statesmen.

Mr. Loring was a merchant long and well known in Boston,
and of the firm of Fairbanks, Loring & Company, wholesale
hardware dealers. Their trade extended around the world. He
was a typical gentleman of the "old school." His father,
Joseph Loring, born Feb. 17, 1752, was a captain in Gridley's
Brigade, and was in the trenches at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
His wife, Nancy True, born Sept. 29, 1756, sat all the 17th of

as "Master Titcomb." The family lived fifty-four years in
the same house, at No. 19 Market Street. Of their daughters,
Mrs. Geo. W. Hale resides in Taunton, Mass., Mrs. J. F.
Hodgkins and the Misses Margaret T. and Selina J. Titcomb
still reside in Newburyport.
Among the first settlers of Newbury was Captain William
Titcomb, born 1620, died Sept. 24, 1676, who emigrated from
Newbury, Berkshire County, in England, in 1635. His grand¬
son, Colonel Moses Titcomb, was distinguished in the expedition
against Louisburg in 1745, and afterwards commanded a regi¬
ment at Crown Point in 1755 ^ where he was killed while x'econ-
noitering the enemy's post.
Another of the descendants of William Titcomb, Captain
Michael Titcomb, son of Joseph, belonged to Washington's
bodyguard. Two others: Enoch Titcomb, born 1752, died
Aug. 13, 1814, was an ardent Whig, and served as Brigade
Major at Rhode Island among the troops commanded by Gen¬
eral Sullivan. Afterwards he held different town offices for
many years. At the age of forty he was member of the
Legislature, and continued in office either as Representative or
Senator until the infirmities of age obliged him to retire into
private life. He was for a long time Justice of the Peace and
Notary Public. He was esteemed for his piety, integrity, and
good sense. He died in 1814, aged 62.
Jonathan Titcomb, born 1722, was distinguished as an ardent
Whig during the Revolution. He commanded a regiment of
militia, under General Sullivan, upon the Rhode Island expedi¬
tion, and afterwards became a Brigadier General.
In 1774-75 he was a member of the Committee of Safety,
and belonged to the first General Court after the British evacu¬
ated Boston. Subsequently he represented the town in General

framing the constitution of the State.
He was appointed by Washington first Naval Officer, 17S9,
for this district, which place he held until 1812. He died in
1817, at the advanced age of 89.
Monday, Jan. ij, 1776. The Brig " Sukey," Captain Engs,
ninety tons, from Ireland, was taken by the " Washington" pri¬
vateer, and brought into Newburyport, laden with provisions,
destined for Boston. On the morning of the same day the
British ship " Friends," Captain Bowie, of London, bound for
Boston, appeared off Newbury bar. As she lay off and 011 sev¬
eral miles from the land, showing English colors, and tacking
often, the wind being easterly, with appearance of a storm, it
was conjectured by some persons who observed her from town,
that the captain had mistaken Ipswich Bay for that of Boston,
which was then in possession of the British, and that she had
lost her bearings, they immediately planned a scheme for her
capture; accordingly, seventeen persons embarked in three
whaleboats under command of Capt. Offin Boardman (who
married Sarah, daughter of Timothy and Susanna Greenleaf) ;
as they approached the ship, being satisfied by the movements
that they were right in their conjectures, they determined to offer
their services' as pilots. For this purpose they rowed within
hailing distance, hailed the ship, enquiring where she was bound
and where she hailed from. The captain replied, "From Lon¬
don, bound to Boston;" and then asked what land was in sight,
and where the boats came from. Captain Boardman replied,
" We are from Boston; do you want a pilot?" And his offer
being accepted by the unsuspicious stranger, the ship was hove
to, and Captain Boardman soon stood on the quarter deck of the
" Friends." He carried 110 arms in sight, and after shaking
hands with the captain, entered into conversation with him, ask¬
ing the news from London, etc., while his companions from the
three boats, seventeen in all, quietly mounted the ship's gang¬
way, and now stood guard by the same. Seeing they were all
ready, Captain Boardman threw off his assumed character of
pilot, and to the astonishment and chagrin of the late master,
ordered the English flag to be struck and neither crew nor com¬
mander making any resistance, the order was instantly executed.
The ship had four carriage guns, and a crew of about the same

number as the captors, but taken wholly by surprise, and at the
moment unprepared, they fell an easy prey to the shi-ewd man¬
agement of the little party; though it must be confessed that
three boats in company, containing seventeen men, might rea¬
sonably have been suspected of carrying others than pilots.
Thus by a stratagem, the morality of which one of the party
afterwards seriously questioned,* a valuable ship and cargo was
secured, and in the course of a few hours brought up to the
wharf, when she was found to contain fifty-two chaldrons of
coal, eighty-six butts and thirty hogsheads of porter, twenty
hogsheads of vinegar and sixteen hogsheads of sauerkraut, be¬
sides live stock, for which the British troops in Boston were at
that moment suffering.
The names of this party have not all been preserved; but in
addition to Captain Boardman, there were Mr. William Bartlett,
Enoch Hale, John Coombs, Joseph Stanwood, Gideon Wood-
well, Johnson and Cutting Lunt. These two vessels, the Brig
" Sukey" and the ship " Friends," were the first prizes brought
into Newburyport.
February 16.— The "Yankee Hero" took and brought
into Newburyport a bark of three hundred tons, loaded with
coal, pork, and flour.
March I.— She brought in the brig " Nelly," from White
Haven, bound to Boston, having two hundred tons coal and ten
tons potatoes.
In 1779 we have the first intimation of the town's improving
the streets by planting trees. March 9th Nathaniel Tracy was
empowered to plant trees on High Street, where the old ropewalk
stood (near Frog Pond). The town, under all the disadvantages
of the times, continued to grow; and in 1781 the inconveniences
arising from want of suitable building lots induced several public-
spirited gentlemen, owning land in the vicinity, to give to the
town " sufficient to lay out a regular, handsome street, four rods
wide, half way i between Fish and Queen Streets" ; and thus
Green Street originated. The names of the donors were:
Nathaniel Tracy, Benjamin Greenleaf, Enoch, Joshua, and
Richard Titcomb, Stephen Sewall, Stephen and Mary Hooper,
Nathaniel, Parker A., Stephen A., and Nathaniel, Jr., Atkin¬
son, and the guardians of the heirs of Benjamin Frothingham.

For the eight years, reckoning from the battle of Lexington
to the proclamation of peace, Newburyport raised for the ex¬
traordinary expenses of the town, the payment of bounties, and
providing for all those exigencies that were dependent on the
war, the sum of £504,500. The usual cun-ent expenses of the
town per annum, previous to the breaking out of hostilities, had
been but £750; making (for the eight years) <£498,500 to be
set down as war expenses—in dollars, 2,492,500. £17,000, or
$85,000, are specified as having been raised in gold and silver,
and as some of the debts were also paid in coin, it is impossible
to determine exactly what the real cost was; but when we con¬
sider that much was also done in providing provisions for the
army and clothing for the soldiers, the sum becomes, consider¬
ing the size and ability of the town, truly enormous.
In this year the business of chaise-making was introduced
into Newbury by James Burgess. The first regular builders
were Nathaniel and Abner Greenleaf. In Belleville, the
business was commenced by Samuel Greenleaf, in 1792.
The winter of 1780 was unusually severe. For forty days,
including the month of March, there was no perceptible thaw on
the southerly side of any house; and so deep and hard was the
snow, that loaded teams passed over walls and fences in any
direction.
March.—The Constitution of Massachusetts was framed.
The first article in the declaration of rights is, "All men are
born free and equal." This was inserted with the intent, and
for the purpose, of entirely abolishing slavery.
Prior to the Revolution, several slaves had sued their masters
for detaining them in slavery; one in Cambridge in 1770, and
one in Newburyport, Cassar against his master, Richard Green¬
leaf, in September, 1773. In all these cases the courts decided
in favor of the slave. In 17S1 a case occurred in Worcester, in
which the Supreme Federal Court decided that slavery was
abolished by the Constitution.
May igth.—This day is the most remarkable in the memory
of man for darkness, which began about twenty minutes before
eleven o'clock a. m., and lasted the whole day, though not
equally dark all the time. It was the darkest from about twelve
to one o'clock. Candles were lighted up in the houses; the
birds, having sung their evening songs, disappeared and became

silent; the fowls retired to roost; the cocks were crowing all
around, as at break of day. Everything bore the appearance
and gloom of night.
March 12, 1781.—Newburyport "voted that the Select¬
men be directed to cause the bells to be rung at one of the clock
in the day and at nine of the clock at night during the ensuing
year."
September j>, 178J.—On this day a treaty of peace was
signed at Paris between Great Britain and the United States, by
David Hartley and John Adams, Esquires, and on October 13th
Congress issued a proclamation for disbanding the army.
1784.—The bridge over the river Parker, which was built
in 17 =;S, under the direction of Mr. Ralph Cross, was this year
repaired. It is eight hundred and seventy feet long, twenty-six
feet wide, has nine solid piers and eight wooden arches.
Decejnber 6, 1786.—A slight shock of an earthquake at
4.1^ p. m. This year is rendered memorable by an insurrection
in the western part of Massachusetts, headed by Daniel Shays.
One company, fifty-five in all, commanded by Capt. Edward
Longfellow, went from Newbury.
1787.—" The west wind blew steadily from November 30,
1786 to March 20th of this year, with only four slight interrup¬
tions." This year the Hessian fly, so destructive to wheat,
made its first appearance in New England, entering Connecticut
from New York.
April 4, 1787.—" This day there was a ' spinning match '
at the house of the Rev. Mr. Murray, to whom were given two
hundred and thirty-six skeins of thread and yarn. The meeting
was in the parsonage house, every apartment of which," says
the Essex Journal, "was full. The music of the spinning
wheel resounded from every room. It was truly a pleasing
sight,—some spinning, some reeling, some carding the cotton,
some combing the flax. The labors of the day were concluded
about five o'clock."
In the fall of 1789, Washington, then recently elected to the
presidential chair, conceiving it his duty to become as fully ac¬
quainted as possible with the country over which he had been
called to preside, availed himself of the first interim of public
duties to make a tour through those States with which he was
least acquainted. On his way through Massachusetts to New

37
Hampshire he visited Newburyport, on Friday, the ist of No¬
vember, remaining until Saturday morning. Every preparation
was made to give the first President a worthy reception. The
Hon. Tristram Dalton and Major-General Titcomb, with other
distinguished gentlemen from Newburyport, had met and ac¬
companied him from Ipswich, with an escort of two companies
of cavalry. On approaching the boundaries of the town, the
cortege was met (on High Street, near Bromfield) by the militia
and artillery companies of Newburyport, the procession which
was to escort him through the town, and a company of young
men who had prepared an Ode of Welcome* to the chief magis¬
trate of the country.
After the firing of a Federal salute by the artillery company
the Ode was sung, and proved an affecting, as it was a novel,
feature in the receptions given to the President on his tour.
Washington was moved even to tears by this unexpected and in¬
teresting mode of welcome; additional effect being given to the
words by the accompaniment of the military and other instru¬
mental music, appropriately joining in the sentiments expressed.
The procession embraced, in addition to the military, all the
town officers, professional men, manufacturers, tradesmen, sea-
captains and mariners, with all the children of the public
schools,! each having a quill in his hand. The procession con¬
ducted the President through High to State Street, to the man¬
sion of Nathaniel Tracy, Esq., where he remained through the
day and evening. On his arrival there he was greeted with an
*He comes ! he comes ! the Hero comes !
Sound, sound your trumpets, beat your drums.
From port to port let cannons roar;
He's welcome to New England's shore.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome,
Welcome to New England's shore !
Prepare! prepare! your songs prepare,
Loud, loudly rend the echoing air;
From pole to pole his praise resound,
For virtue is with glory crowned.
Virtue, virtue, virtue, virtue,
Virtue is with glory crowned.
f These contained boys only; there were four hundred and twenty in
the procession. Female public schools were not established at this time.

address written by John Quincy Adams,* to which he made the
following reply :—
Gentlemen : The demonstrations of respect and affection which you
are pleased to pay to an individual whose highest pretension is to rank as
your fellow-citizen, are of a nature too distinguished not to claim the warm¬
est return that gratitude can make. ... In visiting the town ofNewbury-
port I have obeyed a favorite inclination, and I am much gratified by the
indulgence. In expressing a sincere wish for its prosperity and the happi¬
ness of its inhabitants, I do but justice to my own sentiments and their
merits.
In the evening a feu de joie was fired by the militia com¬
panies, and a display of fireworks terminated the public demon¬
strations of joy felt by the community at the privilege of enter¬
taining so illustrious a guest. Washington had entered the town
over the Parker River bridge, advancing through Newbury, old
town, to High Street. On leaving the next morning he was
escorted as far as the boundary line of New Hampshii'e, where
he was met by the chief magistrate of that State, General Sulli¬
van, and four companies of light horse.
The Marine Society of Newburyport had prepared a beauti¬
ful barge, in which the President was carried across the Merri-
mac from a point opposite Amesbury.
November 16th.—This has been a day of much animation, for
carriages and foot people have been constantly passing to see a
whale, which some fishermen found at sea and towed up to
Oldtown Bridge. It was about sixty feet long.
1790.—According to the census this year Newbury had five
hundred and thirty-eight houses, seven hundred and twenty-three
families, and three thousand nine hundred and seventy-two in¬
habitants.
Newburyport had six hundred and sixteen houses, nine hun¬
dred and thirty-nine families, and four thousand eight hundred and
thirty-seven inhabitants. At this time the town owned six ships,
forty-five brigantines, thirty-nine schooners, and twenty-eight
sloops. Total, eleven thousand eight hundred and seventy tons.
From May 25, 1790, to November 19, 1791, the number of
vessels cleared from Newburyport was one hundred and seventy-
nine. In the Newburyport Herald of January 12, 1791, an ac¬
count is given of the establishment of Sunday schools in Phila¬
delphia by some benevolent persons in the city, with this comment,

" Pity their benevolence did not extend so far as to afford them
tuition on days when it is lawful to follow such pursuits, and not
thereby lay a foundation for the profanation of the Sabbath."
November 26, 1792.—On this day Essex Merrimac bridge
was opened for the public. " It consisted, in fact, of two bridges
resting on Deer Island in the midst of the river." It was, when
finished, one thousand and thirty feet long, thirty-four wide,
height of arch above high-water mark thirty-seven feet, and
contained six thousand tons of timber.
March, i'/pj.—A codfish was sold in Newburyport weigh¬
ing ninety-eight pounds, five feet and a half in length, and girth
at the thickest place three feet four inches.
July 4-th.—"This day," says the Essex Journal, "Timo¬
thy Dexter delivered an Oration at Essex Merrimac bridge,
which, for elegance of Style, propriety of Speech, and force of
Argument, was truly Ciceronian ! ! "
Timothy Dexter found a biographer and artist to pre¬
serve his memory, in Samuel Lorenzo Knapp, LL.D., of
Newburyport; a practicing lawyer, who was particularly dis¬
tinguished as a belles-lettres scholar, and who wrote on various
subjects. He writes : " Whatever were the faults of Dexter, he
was a pecuniary benefactor of the town, and also for a long
series of years held an office in it; viz., ' Informer of Deer !' "
"He has," says Mrs. E. Vale Smith, "generally been
considered a fool, with a slight mixture of the knave; but
nearly every act of his apparent folly may be traced to one
overpowering passion, uncontrolled by any natural or cultivated
taste, though combined with considerable shrewdness; this
passion was vanity, so inordinate as to lead him into all sorts
of absurdities. To be an object of attention to the present, and
of remembrance to succeeding generations, in his adopted town,
was the central idea of his life, around which all others re¬
volved, and were subordinate."
Says Mrs. Sarah Anna Emery, in her " Reminiscences of
a Nonagenarian," p. 251: "For years the chief wonder of
the place was Lord Timothy Dexter, his hairless dog, and his
images. This man was born in Maiden, in 1743, and died in
Newburyport, Oct. 26, 1S06. He came to Newburyport in
early manhood, and married a Miss Frothingham, from the old
Frothingham mansion, on the corner of High and Olive Streets.

In a short time he obtained a large fortune by taking advantage
of the markets and by lucky adventures. His first successful
speculation was buying up Continental notes when depreciated,
and selling them when a prospect of redemption had raised their
value. His speculation in Mittens, Warming-pans, Whalebone
and the like, were widely known. An example of his folly is
his sending a cargo of Warming-pans (a covered pan of brass,
with a long ladle. Hot coals being placed in the pans, they
were used for warming beds), and woolen mittens to the West
Indies, which turned out a profitable speculation ; the Warming-
pans being bought for ladles, to be used on the Sugar estates in
the straining of Syrup, and the mittens sold at a heavy advance
to a vessel bound to the Baltic. Query: Was it folly,—or
shrewd management?"
His house and grounds on High Street, nearly opposite his
wife's maiden home, he embellished, after his own design, with
wooden statues. These figures were remarkable specimens in
wood carving. The figures of Washington, Adams, and Jef¬
ferson, over the front door, were excellent, the other figures, and
the eagle upon the cupola, were lifelike and in good propor¬
tion. He built a tomb in the garden, had a mock funeral,
acted his part as corpse, and afterwards beat his wife because
she did not weep while following him to the grave.
Dexter owned a farm in Chester, and consequently styled
himself Earl of Chester. He erected handsome buildings on
this estate, and these were decorated with several images, which
were a wonder in that region for a long time. Determined to
rank among those whose names never die, Dexter wrote a book,
entitled, "A Pickle for the Knowing Ones,"—a sufficiently
original production to obtain its author's aim. Punctuation was
omitted till the last page, which was closely covered with the
various marks, the readers being directed to "pepper and salt
it as they please."
One of the most important rights affecting personal liberty,
was obtained by Newburyport in 1794. This was procured by
the passage of an act incorporating the several religious societies
then existing, and enlarging the liberty of the individual by per¬
mitting him to attend what place of worship he chose, without
being liable to be taxed for the support of a ministry with which
he had no sympathy. It seems almost incredible that the de-

41
scendants of the Pilgrims in Newburyport never acquired this
essential of religious liberty till more than a century after their
settlement here ; yet such is the fact. It was not until 1834 that
the Legislature of Massachusetts passed an act distinctly releas¬
ing all persons from the liability to pay taxes for the support
of religious worship.
i"jg6.—Exeunt pounds and enter dollars! By the town
records, for the first time, appears this insignia of American
Independence, used in the estimates of the annual town ex¬
penses. There had been, previous to the introduction of the
Continental bills, but one other considerable change in the cur¬
rency of Massachusetts; the English money being in common
circulation from the first settlement of the country, except dur¬
ing a period of forty-eight years, from 1702 to 1750, when a
paper currency was introduced into New England by the Colo¬
nial Government, bearing on the face of the bills the promise of
future redemption; which promises were met, like those of the
Continental Congress, only with new emissions. The conse¬
quences were the same, though the necessities of the case were
not. The money, which is now known as "old tenor," sunk
in value so as to compare with coin, which was distinguished
as "lawful money" in Massachusetts, seven and one-half to
one; in some other parts of New England even lower.
The "old tenor" currency was a monetary invention intro¬
duced to meet the expenses of the French war; and in 1750
Parliament reimbursed Massachusetts for her exertions during
that war by sending over a large sum of money, all in silver.*
* A dirge, set to the tune of Chevy Chace, was written by one Joseph
Green, of Boston " on the death of Mr. ' Old Tenor,'" in which he shows
the good which " Old Tenor" had done in his life. A verse or two of the
ballad runs thus :—
Led on by him, our soldiers bold
Against the foe advance;
And took, in spite of wet and cold,
Strong Cape Breton from France.
The merchants, too,—those topping folks,—
To him owe all their riches;
Their ruffles, lace, and scarlet cloaks,
And eke their velvet breeches.
In Senate he like Caesar fell,
Pierced through with many a wound;
He sunk, ah! doleful tale to tell,
The members sitting round!

NEWBURY.
Commerce, religion, and education were the staple objects
of solicitude at this period, and by the following extract the early
interest in the education of the young by Newburyport appears
in the Essex Journal, Newburyport, 1793: "Notwithstanding
the smallness of this town when compared with Boston, there
are two more public schools here than there are in that place.
Such is the opinion of the inhabitants of this town with regard
to the necessity of well educating the rising generation, that they
cheerfully support nine public and several private schools."
In the political horizon of Massachusetts there appeared
with the incoming century a group of men who, from their
learning and personal weight of character, it was soon seen, were
to exert a large influence in the history of the State; they were
known as the " Essex Junta," and among them was Theophilus
Parsons (Judge), John Lowell (Judge), Rev. Thomas Cary,
Hon. Jonathan Jackson, Nathaniel Tracy, Hon. Jonathan
GreenleaJ', William Coombs, and others,—men who were
prominent citizens of Newburyport; and with these were
associated the most active Federalists of the county. The origin
of this "political corps," so designated, it is said by one of
Napoleon's great marshals (Soult), was that these men of the
" Junta," enlightened and firm statesmen, who were fervent and
sincere in their attachment to the cause of liberty, patriots without
stain or reproach, but who feared that the people, after the
struggle for their independence was over, would be remiss and
backward in forming good constitutions and making wholesome
laws for the tranquility and prosperity of the country. These
sound politicians frequently saw each other, and expressed their
fears and anxieties, and of course were constantly suggesting
among themselves some hints and plans to prevent the anticipated
evil. They moved the people to form a constitution, which is
substantially the same we now live under. They guarded it by
the most scrupulous caution against every partiality for royalty;
an abjuration is made by them in renunciation and denial of every
kindred feeling, affection, or allegiance to Great Britain, or any
principalities, potentates, or powers which must be repeated in
the form of an oath by every one who holds an office under it.
The "Essex Junta" was a powerful watchword in the mouths
of those who wished for no law or order, for it alarmed the
timid, the jealous, and the ignorant, and to them the name was

made to represent all that was hateful in aristocracy and monarchy.
These friends of their country struggled on until a constitution
and laws were made and in operation, in defiance of obloquy and
opposition. The memory of these men at this day is fragrant
with honor and pride in boasting of them as our countrymen, and
that we are descendants of some of these beacon lights in the
night of anarchy, and firm pillars in the temple of freedom.
It is for this reason that a few sketches of those with whom
we claim kinship by blood or marriage, or both, are introduced
in these notes, for they were men—our ancestors—who were on
the stage, and actors in those important days when all they had or
hoped was put on the point of the sword and risked on the event
of the battle. These are just, but scanty epitaphs, and deserve their
proper niche in the temple of their country's fame. May they
radiate upon these pages their talents and virtues, to inspire in the
hearts of their children that love of devotion to the cause of their
country's welfare which can only come to those of pure and truth¬
ful hearts, filled with love and charity toward our fellow-man, and
a deep and abiding faith and ti'ust in an overruling Providence to
guide, guard, and protect those who in sincerity look to Him.
Hon. Jonathan Greenleaf was born in Newbury, in July,
1723, and died on May 24, 1807, at the age of eighty-four years.
With the gift of fine natural talents, a genteel person, a courteous
demeanor, bland and conciliatory manners, with a peculiar tact
for public life, he filled many important offices for a long series
of years with honor to himself and advantage to his country. He
understood better than most other men the signs of the times, and
knew precisely when to advance and when to retreat, what the
people would bear and when they would become restive. He
used such gentle and delicate persuasions to overcome his
opponents and to cheer his friends, that the populace gave him
the appellation of "Silver-tongue."
In troublesome times, that which was projected by other
great luminaries, his address and perseverance carried into effect.
In every "storm of state" he was seen on the billows in a
political lifeboat, pouring oil on the waves to calm their rage,
and dexterously managing to gain the point proposed.
Mr. Greenleaf was placed on the first " Committee of Corres¬
pondence and Safety" appointed in Newburyport, and was for
many years a representative from this town to the General Court.

Judge Theophilus Parsons was the third son of the Rev.
Moses Parsons, of Byfield parish, Newbury. He was born on
the 24th of February, 1750. He was early placed at Dummer
Academy, of which the celebrated Master Moody was then
principal. He was graduated at Harvard College in 1769; he
then entered as a law student with Theophilus Bradbury, and in
1777 commenced practice in Newburyport, having already ob¬
tained the reputation of a " young man of great talent and re¬
markable acquirements." It was at this interesting epoch that
the Legislature of Massachusetts formed the constitution which
they submitted to the people for their consideration. It con¬
tained many defects, and a general movement was made to pre¬
vent its adoption, in which Essex County took the lead, and
Mr. Parsons was elected as a delegate to meet with gentlemen
from the other towns of the county at Ipswich. Here he was
placed on a committee to prepare a report on the subject, and
he then drafted the famous paper known as the " Essex Result."
In 1779-80 a convention was called for the purpose of drafting
a new constitution, and to this body Mr. Parsons was also a del¬
egate, and one of the most active and influential members. In
17S9 the Massachusetts convention met in Boston to consult
upon the adoption of the Federal Constitution, then submitted to
the several States for their adhesion. In this convention met a
host of distinguished statesmen, and to this body Mr. Parsons
was also a delegate. Learning, wit, satire, and argument com¬
bined made his influence pre-eminent, as his genius deserved that
it should be. One of the members, a clergyman, having re¬
marked " that no angel presided at the formation of the instru¬
ment, for that the name of God was not in it," Parsons reminded
him that by the same rule of judgment there was no Divinity in
one of the books of the Old Testament, referring the astonished
clergyman to the book of Esther, which contains no mention of
the name of the Deity. A large share of the effort which se¬
cured the final majority in favor of the adoption of the Constitu¬
tion may fairly be attributed to Mr. Parsons. In 1801 he was
appointed Attorney-General of the United States, but declined
accepting his commission. In 1806 Chief Justice Dana resigned
his office, and he was nominated by Governor Strong, and
accepted the appointment. He died in Boston, October 13,
1813.

The Hon. Jonathan Jackson in early life settled as a
merchant, spent his most efficient days, and reared his children,
in Newburyport; and was before, during, and after the Revolu¬
tion an Essex man. He was born in Boston, and married
Hannah, daughter of Patrick Tracy, Esq., and sister of Nathan¬
iel and John Tracy. He was " a man of whom the world
knew much, but knew too little." As a patriot, he combined
the qualities which form the estimable citizen, and rendered
him useful as a statesman. He took an early and zealous
part in the Revolution, and devoted much of his time to the
public service. His zeal for civil liberty in the early part of
his life was enthusiastic, but his penetrating mind early sus¬
pected danger from pure Democratic institutions, and he was
anxious to have such modifications made in our National Con¬
stitution as would secure the permanence, as well as the fullness,
of our liberties. The views which he entertained on this subject
may be known by the draft of a Constitution prepared by delegates
from the County of Essex, in forming which Mr. Jackson bore a
considerable share. Before the adoption by the State of the Fed¬
eral Constitution, Mr. Jackson published a pamphlet on the sub¬
ject, replete with understanding, foresight, and patriotism, ap¬
proving of the Constitution, to which, and to the policy of
Washington, he remained firmly and invariably attached.
From the constant exercise of that politeness which is
formed of courtesy, philanthropy, and delicacy of taste, he
was uniformly considered as the " arbiter elegantiariim" in
the refined society in which he moved. But useful as he was
to the State in his public capacity, the beautiful symmetry and
integrity of his private life, his urbanity and refinement, his
intellectual endowments, and his moral piety, overshadowed
and eclipsed his public reputation. As the beau ideal of a
gentleman, he retained the supremacy among that galaxy of
worthies which formed the intellectual and social life of New¬
buryport. He was a member of the Continental Congress in
1780, Marshal of the District of Massachusetts under Washing¬
ton, first Inspector, and afterwards Supervisor, of the Internal
Revenue, Treasurer of the Commonwealth for five years, and
at the time of his death was Treasurer of Harvard College.
His eldest son, Charles Jackson, born 1775, in Newburyport,
graduated at Cambridge, and having studied law with Theophilus
46
NEWBURY.
Parsons, commenced practice in his native town. He rapidly
rose to distinction at the bar, and having removed to Boston, was,
on the death of Theodore Sedgwick, made Judge of the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts.
His second son, Dr. James Jackson, was of equal reputa¬
tion in the medical profession, with his brother in that of the
law.
Patrick Tracy Jackson, the youngest son of Hon. Jonathan
Jackson, was born at Newburyport, Aug. 14, 1780. He re¬
ceived his early education in the public schools of his native
town, and afterwards at Dummer Academy. When about fif¬
teen years of age he was apprenticed to Mr. William Bartlett.
He soon secured the esteem and confidence of Mr. Bartlett, who
intrusted to him, when under twenty years of age, a cargo of
merchandise for St. Thomas, with authority to take the com¬
mand of the vessel from the captain if he should see occa¬
sion.
His career as a free man commenced very nearly on the first
day of the present century, and it has been one of remarkable
record in enterprise, activity, and commercial prominence. A
large experience from several voyages made to India enabled
him, in 1808, to make a successful commencement in mercantile
business at Boston. He had the support, in this, of his brother-
in-law, Francis C. Lowell, and his invaluable counsels. He
entered largely into business, and his credit was unbounded. He
continued in the India and Havana trade till the breaking out of
the war in 1812, after which he engaged in the manufacture of
cotton. It would be very interesting to follow him in this new
industry, but the limits of these sketches will not permit. His
career therein was characterized by the same broad, expansive,
and thoroughly systematic methods and views which led to his
success in the mercantile world, and with like results. As one
example of this, his mill at Waltham was probably the first one
in the world that combined all the operations necessary for
converting the raw cotton into finished cloth. In 1813 Messrs.
Lowell and Jackson associated themselves with other intelligent
merchants of Boston, and obtained a charter under the name of
the "Boston Manufacturing Company," with a capital of
$100,000. After the death of Mr. Lowell, in 1817, Mr. Jackson
devoted himself to the manufacturing business exclusively. In

47
1821 he conceived the idea of possessing himself of the whole
power of the Merrimac at Chelmsford, by the purchase of the
Pawtucket Canal, and, aware of the necessity of secrecy in order
to secure it at a reasonable price, he undertook it single-handed.
It was necessary to purchase not only all the canal stock, but the
farms on both sides of the river which controlled the water
power; and it was not until he had accomplished all that was
material for his purpose, that he offered a share in the project to
a few of his former colleagues. Such was the beginning of
Lowell, a city which was named in honor of his friend, and
which he lived to see, as it were, completed. In 1825 that portion
of Chelmsford which he had purchased and built up was in¬
corporated under the name of Lowell.
In 1830 Mr. Jackson, in unison with Mr. Boott, entered into
the then untried project of obtaining a charter for a railroad in
New England, and he deliberately and satisfactorily solved the
doubts in his own mind, and those of others, before he com¬
menced the work. The road was graded for a double track. It
was opened in 1835. Its success is too well known to require
recapitulation here. The brilliant issue of this business greatly
enhanced Mr. Jackson's previous reputation, and no great enter-
prizes of a public nature were brought forward without the
sanction of his opinion. During the last years of his life he was
treasurer and agent of the Great Falls Manufacturing Company, in
Somersworth. He died at his seaside residence, in Beverly, Sept.
12, 1847.
The records of the various churches and religious societies
show the exercise of a praiseworthy liberality, corresponding
with the state of the town : In August, 1806, at one time, a col¬
lection of nine hundred and fifty dollars was taken up "to aid in
printing the Bible in the Indian languages."
One of the most pleasing charitable institutions was institu¬
ted in 1803 ; namely, the establishment of an asylum for female
orphans. The original fund procured by subscription was about
fifteen hundred dollars. During the first twenty years of its ex¬
istence this association provided for over fifty orphan girls.
Newburyport was among the first towns which opened sub¬
scriptions to build a National Washington monument, and
liberal sums were subscribed here in 1S02, and so sanguine were
her citizens of a hearty response on this subject that they decided

none should give more than ten dollars; and if more than
enough was collected throughout the country, which was then
thought probable, it was agreed to devote it "to building a
national university." Perhaps one of the most convincing proofs
of the advance of society, was the steadily increasing support
given to the permanent newspaper established here, which the
editor did not fail, at regular intervals, to announce; the sub¬
scription list and improvements in the paper keeping pace with
each other. Among the various enterprises and events of this
period it is interesting to note the following : 1794, Newburyport
Library in operation; by-laws passed by the town against
smoking in the streets, and forbidding owners of water-fowl to
allow them to frequent Frog Pond; act passed incorporating the
several religious societies then existing in the town, viz., Rev.
Thomas Carey's, Rev. J. Murray's, Rev. Samuel Spring's, Rev.
C. W. Milton's, Rev. Edward Bass's, and amending the mode of
taxation; State survey of Newburyport ordered and taken; an
organ placed in the church in Market Square; 1795, great
change took place in the harbor bar; Pleasant, Harris, Broad,

Several branches of business flourishing during this period have
since died out. Ten or twelve distilleries* and a brewing! es¬
tablishment gave employment to a large number of persons,
while the manufacture of cordage was one of the most impor¬
tant interests dependent on our mercantile success ; sugar refining
was also a profitable business, and in the manufacture of gold
beads and silver buckles large capitals were invested, and combs
and horn buttons were made in considerable quantities. The
comb business was revived in 1853.
But the great contrast between the present time and the
social era that passed away with the first decade of the nine¬
teenth century, was the degree of style and fashion observed by

the wealthy. Every family of any pretension kept their family car¬
riage, footman and coachman, and ladies their own saddle horses.
The deep wine cellars under some of the old mansions
broadly hint of the stores of port and Burgundy which once
filled their now dreary depths, while vessel after vessel arriving
direct with rich silks, velvets, and laces from France, enabled
our grandmothers to appear in costumes which would awaken
the envy of many a modern belle.
A wedding cortege of about 1S0S is thus referred to in a
private letter: "The bride and bridegroom arrived yesterday.
Mr. 's splendid new carriage was drawn by six white horses.
They had four outriders, and all the horses were decked with
white favors. His footmen and coachmen are put into new
liveries," etc.
With the incoming nineteenth century, garments were more
in conformity with present fashions, which took precedence of
three-cornered hats, long coats with immense pocket folds and
cuffs, but without collars, to which men of the eighteenth cen¬
tury prided themselves, with their buttons of pure silver, or
plated, of the size of a half dollar, presenting a great super¬
fluity of coat and waistcoat when contrasted with the short
nether garments styled "breeches," or "smallclothes," which
reached only to the knee, being there fastened with large silver
buckles, which ornament was also used in fastening the straps
of shoes. The gentlemen quite equaled the ladies at this period
in the amount of finery and the brilliancy of colors in which
they indulged. A light-blue coat with large fancy buttons, a
white satin embroidered waistcoat, red velvet breeches, silk
stockings, and buckled shoes, with a neckcloth or scarf of
finely embroidered cambric, or figured stuff, the ends hanging
loose, the better to show the work, and liberal bosom and wrist-
ruffles (the latter usually fastened with gold or silver buckles),
was considered a proper evening dress for a gentleman of any
pretension to fashion. The clergy and many other gentlemen
commonly wore black silk stockings, and others contented them¬
selves with gray woolen. The boots had a broad fold of white
leather turned over the top, with tassels dangling from either side.
The clergy frequently wore silk or stuff gowns and powdered
wigs. The ladies usually wore black silk or satin bonnets, long-
waisted and narrow-skirted dresses for the street, with long,

tight sleeves, and in the house, sleeves reaching to the elbow,
finished with an immensely broad frill, high-heeled shoes, and
always, when in full dress, carried a profusely ornamented fan.
The excessively long waists, toward the close of this period,
were exchanged for extremely short ones; so short that the belt
or waist was inhumanly contrived to come at the broadest part
of the chest. But no fashion of dress was so permanent as other
customs clinging to particular eras. Anciently, as now, fashions
were changed more or less extensively every few years, though
certain broad characteristics remained long enough to give a
specific character to the costuming of the eighteenth century.
But not only in dress and social customs is there now a
marked difference; the whole style of architecture has changed
since then. The large three-story, square houses on High, State,
Green, and a few other streets, with their commodious carriage
ways and large garden lots, are the most permanent and im¬
pressive remains of the past commercial prosperity. These
capacious dwellings look down on a new age, and a compara¬
tively diminutive style of building; neat and comfortable
enough, but with contracted surroundings, and on a scale
which suggests small means, and which is devoid of all im¬
posing architectural effect. But with all the profuseness of ex¬
penditure among the wealthier class, we do not find that the
laboring people were depi'essed, or suffered any abridgment of
comforts. All classes participated in the prosperity which the
business enterprise of the merchants imparted to the place. All
might find employment who would work, and the labor market
partook of the general buoyancy.
Modern improvements have dispensed with the necessity of
many things which went to make up the grandeur of those old
times; and the wider diffusion and greater equalization of
wealth, compensate for the pleasing pageantry of the past,
while the increased attention to female education is a step for¬
ward worth all that is left behind.
It was not the purpose of the compiler of these reminis¬
cences of Newbury and Newburyport to bring such notes
further down than the period to which we have just referred,
but a glimpse, in passing, will stir the patriotic heart, as we
recall the general response to an appeal made in the winter of
1840, for funds to complete the Bunker Hill Monument. Ex-

tensive arrangements were made to hold a fair at Quincy Hall,
in Boston, to aid in the object. A meeting was held at Market
Hall in Newburyport, July 24th, and a committee of gentlemen
and ladies was appointed to procure aid for the "fair," and
in September, four hundred and fifty dollars in money and
articles were contributed.
Miss Lucy Hooper, of Newburyport, wrote a poetical
answer to the appeal, of which the following is an extract:—
We are coming! we are coming!
We have heard the thrilling call;
We are coming from the hillside—
We are coming from the hall!
We are coming! Ave are coming!
High thoughts our bosoms fill;
One watchword wakens every heart—
The name of Bunker Hill!
There Freedom's fire was lighted,
And its flame was broad and high,
Till a wakened and a rescued land
Sent up its battle cry!
" Old Massachusetts ! dost thou need,
To gem thy ' lordly crown,'
Aught richer than that battlefield
Which tells of thy renown?
Home of the Pilgrim Sires, who crossed
The waste and trackless sea !
Was it not meet that on thy soil
The first brave strife should be?
Dear to thy children in thy home,
Dear to thine exiles far,
To Freedom's sons, in every age,
It shines a beacon star! "
We are coming! we are coming!
That thy martyrs brave and free,
In the record of the future
Shall e'er be linked with thee;
That upon thy glory never
One dimming shade may fall;
We are coming from the hillside,
We are coming from the hall!

to store the town's powder, a portion of which on one occasion
exploded and blew out a side of the house, lodging a woman, a
negro slave of Mr. Pierce, bed and all, in the branches of a large
apple tree. From this Pierce family was descended Franklin
Pierce, President of the United States; Benjamin Pierce of Hills-
boro being descended from Benjamin Pierce of Newbury, who is
buried in Byfield Parish, Newbury, and by his epitaph, like his
descendant a "pillar i' th' State he was."
DUMMER ACADEMY.
Though situated in the parish of Byfield, Newbury, it has been
the resort of Newburyport youth from its first institution to the
present time, and is, therefore, properly placed among those
educational influences which have given character to the young
men of the town. It was founded by William Dummer,
Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Massachusetts, who, at
his decease, devised his whole estate in Newbury for the endow¬
ment of a free grammar school and the erection of a schoolhouse.
The estate consisted of a farm, upon which the schoolhouse was
built. It was first opened in 1763, just one year before the in¬
corporation of Newburyport. The execution of the will was
originally committed to Nathaniel Dummer, Thomas Foxcroft,
and Charles Chauncey; but in 17S2, the latter gentleman being
the only executor living, the Legislature appointed a board of
trustees to manage the fund, and the following gentlemen were
incorporated as "Trustees of Dummer Academy": Jeremiah
Powell, Benjamin Greenleaf, Jonathan Greenleaf, Rev.
Joseph YVillard (President of Harvard College), Rev. Charles
Chauncey, Rev. Moses Parsons, Rev. John Tucker, Rev. Thomas
Cary, Samuel Moody (the Preceptor), William Powell, Dr.
Micajah Sawyer, Dummer Jewett, Samuel Osgood, Nathaniel
Tracy, and Richard Dummer,—nearly all Newburyport men.
Governor Dummer descended from William Dummer, one
of the fathers of the Colony. He emigrated in 1635, and was
chosen a member of the Court of Assistants, in which he served
for several years, after which he retired to his estate in Newbury,
and greatly contributed by his wealth and liberality to the growth
of Byfield Parish. His farm descended in his family to William
Dummer, who was appointed Lieutenant Governor of the
Province in 1716.

NEWBURY.
Dummer has always ranked high as a classical school, and
during the first half century of its existence there were constantly
more applicants for admission than could be accommodated.
Mr. Samuel Moody's fame as a teacher greatly assisted the
reputation of the Academy. He was succeeded by Rev. Isaac
Smith, Dr. Benjamin Allen, Rev. Abiel Abbott, Hon. Samuel
Adams, Nehemiah Cleaveland, Dr. Jonathan Greenleaf Johnson
(in 1854), and others.
CHURCHES.
The ecclesiastical history of Newburyport and vicinity
presents some peculiar features, which can best be shown in a
general sketch of the successive churches formed and their con¬
nection with each other and their parent root, The First Church
in Newbury.
This was for sixty-three years the only church in Newbury.
In 169S a church in what was called the west precinct of
Newbury was organized, with the Rev. Samuel Belcher as the
minister. The district being widely, though not thickly settled,
the inhabitants were divided among themselves regarding the
location of their meetinghouse, making it impossible that all
could be accommodated by having the meetinghouse near their
own dwellings. At a meeting of the parish it was finally voted
to have the meetinghouse 011 Pipe Stave Hill, while a respectable
minority refused to coincide with this vote, and proceeded to the
erection of a building for the better accommodation of themselves
and their families on what is called the Plains, where the original
parish meetinghouse stood. Difficulties arising among them¬
selves relative to taxes for the support of the minister, and other
differences, the result was that twenty-two of the residents of the
plains declared themselves for the Church of England and the
Protestant Episcopal Church, the present representative of which
is St. Paul's, originated in Newbury about the year 1712. The
Rev. Henry Lucas arrived from England and took charge of the
parish in the summer of 1715, and was succeeded after his death,,
which occurred in August, 1720, by the Rev. Matthias Plant (in
1722). A few years afterwards it was proposed to build a church
nearer to the business center of the town, and the frame of St.
Paul's was raised in 1738, the church on the Plains being known
as Queen Anne's Chapel. St. Paul's was not used for public

service till 1740. Upon the decease of Mr. Plant, April 2, 1753,
he was succeeded by his late assistant, Rev. Edward Bass (after¬
wards the first Bishop of Massachusetts, in 1796), who continued
to officiate once a month in Queen Anne's Chapel until 1766, when
public service in that building was abandoned, part of the con¬
gregation uniting with St. Paul's, and others returning to the
Congregational form, which their fathers had abandoned. Thus
deserted, the edifice went to decay, and finally fell down through
feebleness and the weight of years. The bell, which had been
presented to the church by the Bishop of London, was hung in
the belfry of the Bellville meetinghouse.
From the records of baptisms in the First Church in Newbury, the
following names of the Greenleaf family appear: Mary, Dec. 17, 1676;
Elizabeth, Jan. 10, 1677; Daniel, Feb. 22, 1679; Stephen, Sept. 10, 1682;
Moses, Feb. 29, 1697; Samuel, May, 1697; Mary, Sept. 12, 1697; Sarah,
Sept. 26, 1697; Rebecca, Feb. 24, 1699; Henry, Aug. 5, 1705; Richard,
1710; Mary, 1712; Elizabeth, 1713; Enoch, 1713; Martha, 1714; Deborah,
1716; Joanna, 1716; Samuel, 1718; Timothy, 1719; Eleazer, April 30, 1720;
Elizabeth, Jan. 25, 1721-22; Caleb, April, 1722; Stephen, March, 1725;
Oliver, Oct., 1727.
The First Church in Newburyport was the third in Newbury,
being organized in 1725, and the Rev. John Lowell settled as
pastor the year succeeding. Its history is one of peculiar interest,
presenting in its early records the simple idea of a primitive
church, intent only on fulfilling their appointed work of making
themselves and the world better.
As early as 1726 we find organized within the church a
voluntary association of twenty-four persons who, having taken
" into serious consideration the decaying and languishing state of
religion," subscribed their names to six articles, by which they
agreed to meet once a month, " none to absent themselves unless
on some extraordinary occasion ; and first to redress in themselves
and families any irregularities, and next to admonish their
neighbors of the same." Under date of Jan. 2, 1727, they voted
to request the "honorable justice to see that the ferrymen in and
about Newbury carry no one over the ferries on the Lord's day,"
and a month later agreed to a measure much neglected by the
churches in those days; namely, "to visit the young com¬
municants of the church, and endeavor to counsel and advise
them to continue in the sincere practice of those duties that are
encumbent on them by their public profession of Christ." On

one occasion they appointed a committee " to converse withe ye
wife of , concerning the disturbance she gives him when
he is going to perform family prayers."
The First Presbyterian Church was formed on the 3d of
January, 1746, by nineteen persons who had formally with¬
drawn from the first parish in Newbury, a young graduate of
Harvard University, Joseph Adams, officiating as their pastor.
By the advice of " Whitefield," the new church (the "Separa¬
tists," as they were called) extended an invitation to the Rev.
Jonathan Parsons to become their pastor; and he was installed
on the 19th of March in the same year. The form of installa¬
tion was certainly original and unique. The services having
been commenced by the singing of a hymn, Mr. Parsons having
mentioned the reasons against his settlement, made a final propo¬
sition to the assembled church, to see if they still wished him to
remain as their pastor. The vote was taken by the clerk, and
passed unanimously in the affirmative. The pastor elect then said,
"In the presence of God and these witnesses, I take this people
to be my people ;" and the clerk replied, speaking in the name of
the rest, " In the presence of God and these witnesses, we take
this man to be our minister." Mr. Parsons then went on and
preached the sermon he had prepared, no other ceremonies what¬
ever (except prayer) being observed. On the 7th of April suc¬
ceeding the installation of Mr. Parsons, they completed the organ¬
ization of the church by the choice of six ruling elders, and in the
following September voted to unite with the Presbytery of Boston.
The " Fourth Religious Society" in Newbury was set off as
a separate parish in 1761, afterwards known as the " Bellville
Congregational Society" (incorporated in 1S0S),—the fifth in
Newbury. Incipient measures were taken to raise a meeting¬
house as early as November, 1761, the parish occupying the
deserted building called Queen Ann's Chapel, until this was
accomplished (1763). The Rev. Oliver Noble accepted (August,
1762) a call of the parish to settle with them as their minister.
The Second Congregational Church was formed in 176S.
The society was incorporated as the "Third Religious Society
of Newburyport." Its origin was altogether a pleasant episode
in the ecclesiastical history of the town; the persons purposing
to form it having withdrawn from the First Society, in conse¬
quence of a difference of opinion as to some of the important

doctrines of Christianity which the two candidates in view of
the First Society entertained. The disagreement was unattended
with any of that excitement which had marked the separation of
some of the earlier churches ; and as evidence of the amicable
feeling which prevailed, we may note a vote of the First Church
(January 18, 1768) whereby they agreed to divide the church
plate and stock between the seceding and remaining brethren.
The First Church settled the candidate of their choice, Rev..
Thomas Cary, and the Second Church (Oct. 19, 1768) theirs,
the Rev. Christopher Bridges Marsh ; the latter recognizing the
orthodox platform, so called, and the society concurring unani¬
mously in the choice of the church. Mr. Marsh died December
3, 1773, and the church was for the next four years without a
settled pastor, when the Rev. Samuel Spring was invited to
preach to them as a candidate. His answer to the first request
of the church is dated Ticonderoga, August 12th, in which he
declines the invitation of the church, as incompatible with his
engagements as chaplain in the army. On the conclusion of this
engagement he accepted the renewed request of the church, and
was ordained its pastor in August, 1777, which relation he sus¬
tained until his death, which occurred March 4, 1819,—a period
of nearly forty-two years. Dr. Spring was a man of fine
talents, devoted piety, and untiring activity.
The Fourth Religious Society was incorporated in 1794.
The church was formed principally by dissentients from the minis¬
try of Rev. John Murray, then pastor of the First Presbyterian
Society. The first pastor of the church was the Rev. Charles W.
Milton, who was installed into that office March 20, 1794, and con¬
tinued with them until his death,—a period of forty-three years.
The Second Presbyterian Church was organized by the
Presbytery of Londonderry, Oct. 29, 1795, with thirty-three
members, who had withdrawn from the First Presbyterian
Church, not being satisfied with the settlement over that body of
Rev. Daniel Dana, D.D. The society was incorporated Nov.
24, 1796. The first pastor was the Rev. John Boddily, of
Bristol, England, and a graduate of Lady Huntingdon's College.
He was installed June 28, 1797. This church was based on the
strictest Calvinistic platform of faith.
The Baptist Church of Christ, in Newbury and Newbury-
port, was formed under many difficulties, and in the face of

obstacles that would have disheartened less persevering or less
conscientious persons. They had "not the same kind" of
difficulties to encounter as had obstructed the growth and pros¬
perity of some of the earlier churches of this vicinity; they had
no legal hindrances, such as beset the Congregational and Pres¬
byterian interests; but a more formidable opposition was to be
met in the prejudices of the times and place. The denomina¬
tion was new to this vicinity; there was no Baptist church in
this or the neighboring township of Newbury. Some attempt
was made by a few individuals as early as 16S1 to form a church
on these peculiar principles in Newbury, and they even went so
far as to apply for assistance to the First Church in Boston, who
assented to their organization, but they were too few in numbers to
maintain a separate existence. The peculiarities of this denom¬
ination forced themselves, therefore, with all the intensity of
novelty, on the settled habits and opinions of the community in
which they were now to be first broached in a practical form.
The young licentiate preacher, Joshua Chase, preached the first
sermon to a Baptist society in this vicinity on the Sabbath of
July 22, 1804, and later, having received ordination, continued
with the church as their minister until the engagement of the
Rev. John Peake, in the fall of 1S05. The first persons baptized
there were Stephen Goodwin, David Burbank, Benjamin Good¬
win, Bart. Hurd, John Flood, Nathaniel Pettingill, and Mrs.
Rebecca Dorman, on Sunday, Oct. 14, 1804. The church was
not regularly organized until the 2d of May, 1805.
First Methodist Episcopal Church. The Methodist interest
was commenced in Newbury (now Newburyport) in the year
1819, under the preaching and labors of the Rev. John Adams,
a member of the New England Annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The church was regularly
organized by the Rev. B. Othman, June 20, 1827.
The First Universalist Society was organized on the 26th of
December, 1834. The meetinghouse was dedicated in 1S40,
but the recognition of the church did not take place until Nov.
16, 1842. The recognition services were performed by Rev.
Sylvanus Cobb.

of Jesus Christ, as the rule of their faith and pi-actice," and
were then acknowledged by Elder Daniel P. Pike, their first
minister, as a properly constituted church. The church requires
the adoption of strict temperance principles by all its members.
Roman Catholic. The first church organization of this
denomination in Newburyport was in May, 1S43, and in May,
1S4S, the Rev. John O'Brien was appointed resident pastor of
the church. On the 27th of April, 1852, the corner stone of a
new church edifice was laid, in the presence of the bishop, some
twenty priests, and an immense concourse of people; the ensuing
17th of March the building was dedicated, under the title of the
Church of the Immaculate Conception. The style of archi¬
tecture is decorated Gothic, and the interior is finished in an
appropriate and pleasing correspondence with the exterior plan
of the house. The fee simple of the church property is vested
in the bishop of the diocese for the Catholics of Newburyport
and vicinity.

" Soon after the Public Library went into operation, it
was found (so great was the demand for its books, and so ap¬
parent the prospects of its future increase) that the room it
then occupied would prove entirely inadequate for its purposes,
and that larger and better accommodations would shortly be
needed. The subject, therefore, began at that time to interest
some of the more zealous friends of the Library; and inquiries
were instituted relative to the best means for obtaining a build¬
ing that should be suited to its growing wants. An appeal to
the city authorities to supply the requisite funds was considered
impolitic, inasmuch as it was felt that the ordinary demands upon
the city treasury were already onerous. The general desire,
therefore, seemed to be that some feasible mode of raising the
money without resort to public taxation should be adopted.
As no organized body existed for the purpose, it was necessarily
incumbent upon individual efforts to commence the undertak¬
ing."* It was dedicated Jan. i,iS66. The house was built by

ODE.
BY REV. GEORGE D. WILDES.
Gather them here around,—
The guests of thought, the friendships of the mind;
Kinglier than kings, nobler than conqueror crowned;
Sovereign o'er human kind.
With glad hearts greet them here,
Noiseless and voiceless though they enter in;
Yet shall the quickening throb, the lightsome hour,
Reward the welcoming.
What though no high acclaim
Lifts its full thunders round these ancient walls;
What though no pzean sounds the patriot's fame,
Or valor's deed recalls ;
What though from court and throne,
Hither the wandering exile comes no more,
Freedom's warm heart and Freedom's home his own,.
All that it gave of yore;
Relentless though the years
To dim the glories of thy storied day,*
Wealth's generous heart, the household joys and fears,
Forever passed away.
Still, through each brightening age,
Hither, with cheer, the living thought shall come;
Bard, patriot, chronicler, the wit, the sage,
Find, as of old, a home.
Gather them here around,—
The guests of thought, the friendships of the mind;
Kinglier than kings, nobler than conqueror crowned;
Sovereign o'er human kind.

We consecrate the storied place
Their hallowed feet have trod,
Who smoothed the way where Liberty
Leads up the arts to God.
They sowed; we reap and garner in
Such lettered treasure here,
That sweet enchantments of the pen
Rule all the atmosphere.
Here silently the poet's song
Pei-petual music makes;
The former, long since overgrown,
Its silver thunder wakes.
The dramas' splendid phantoms here
Move real to the sense,
As heroes that once shook the world,
And, battling, vanished hence.
Turn but aside, and overhead
^Egian skies burn blue,
And to his crowd of eager Greeks
Homer recites anew.
A step, and Science to the search
Her awful gate unbars ;
The riddle of the earth is read,
The secret of the stars.
Kind Heaven, upon the finished work
Thy blessing we implore;
To fair and holy purposes
Serenely guide its lore.
Here may no tumult of the day
Its troubled shadow fling !
Within these cloistered walls may Peace
Forever fold her wing !

Nov. 6, 1767.—Boston, Nov. 2. At a meeting- of the Freeholders and other inhabit¬
ants of the town of Boston, legally assembled at Faneuil Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 2S,
1767, the Hon. James Otis, Esq., Moderator : voted, that this town will take all prudent and
legal measures to encourage the produce and manufactures of this province, to lessen the
use of superfluities, and particularly the following enumerated articles imported from
abroad; viz., loaf sugar, cordage, anchors, coaches, chaises, and carriages of all sorts,
etc., and that a subscription for this end be, and hereby is, recommended to the several
inhabitants and householders of the town; and that John Rowe, Esq., Mr. William
Greenleaf, Melarich Bourne, Esq., Mr. Samuel Austin, Mr. Edward Payne, Mr. Edmund
Quincy (test), John Ruddock, Esq., Jonathan Williams, Esq., Mr. Henderson Inches,
Mr. Sol. Davis, Joshua Winslow, Esq., and Thomas Cushing, Esq., be a committee to
prepare a form for subscription, to report the same as soon as possible, and also to
procure subscriptions to the same.
July 15, 176S.—Boston, July 11. One of "the honest ninety-two members who voted
not to recind" (a vote of the last house to send circulars to the other colonies that they
would unite in a petition for "redress of grievances"), Benjamin Greenleaf, Esq., of
Newburyport.
Nov. 25, 176S.—New York, Nov. 17. On Monday last a report prevailed that the
effigies of Governor Barnard and Sheriff Stephen Greenleaf., of Boston, were to be exhibited
that evening. At four o'clock in the afternoon the troops in this city appeared under arms
at the lower barracks, where they remained till after 10 o'clock at night, during which
time parties of them were continually patrolling the streets, in order, it is supposed, to
intimidate the inhabitants and prevent their exposing the effigies. Notwithstanding
which, they made their appearance in the streets, hanging on a gallows, between eight
and nine o'clock, attended by a vast number of spectators, who saluted them with loud
huzzas at the corner of every street they passed; and after having been exposed some time
at the coffee house, they were there publickly burnt amidst the acclamations of the popu¬
lace, who testified their approbation by repeated huzzas, and immediately dispersed and
returned to their respective homes. The affair was conducted with such regularity and
good order that no person sustained the least damage either in his person or property.

Nov. 25, 1768.—Boston, Oct. 24. The following complaint was this day regularly
made, viz.:—
Suffolk, ss. To the worshipful Richard Dana, John Ruddock, and Joseph Williams,
Esqs., Justices of the Peace in and for said county. Humbly shows : John Brown of
Boston, in said county, weaver, that Stephen Greenleaf , of Boston, aforesaid Esq., and
Joseph Otis of said Boston, gentleman, together with divers other malefactors and disturb¬
ers of the peace of our said Lord the King, whose names to the complainant are yet un¬
known, on the 20th day of Oct. inst. with force and arms, and with strong hand, at Boston,
aforesaid, unlawfully and injuriously did break and enter into the dwelling house of the said
John Brown; and that the said S. G. and J. O., together with the other said malefactors,
then and there with force and arms, and with strong hand, unlawfully did expel, remove,
and put the said J. B. from the possession of the said dwelling house; and with strong hand
unlawfully and injuriously did keep out and still do keep out, to the great damage of him,
the said J. B., and against the peace of our said Lord the King, etc.
Dec. 23, 176S.— Boston, Nov. 21. Journal of Occurrences. We have advice from
New York that on the 14th inst. there was exposed and burnt in that city the effigies of
Governor Barnard and Sheriff Greenleaf in resentment at the parts they acted in endeavor¬
ing to get the troops quartered in this town, contrary to the letter and spirit of the Act of
Parliament relative to billetting troops in America, as also to the advice of His Majesty's
Council.

Feb. 3, 1769.— Boston, Dec. 26. Journal of Occurrences. The Council met this day,
and the Governor received his request that they would, agreeable to the petition of Sheriff
Greejileaj, indemnify said Sheriff as to his conduct at the Manufactory House, in the
action brought against him by Mr. William Brown; and in order to show the reasonable¬
ness of this requirement, he was pleased to tell the Council that in this business Mr.
Greenleaf pursued their vote, and did not act as sheriff but as their bailiff, they having
commissioned him so to do. The conduct of the Sheriff cannot be excused in his forcible
entry, or in that aggravating circumstance of it, his calling the soldiery to his assistance,
when some reputable inhabitants declared to him they stood ready to aid him in all legal
steps upon this occasion, and that he could not but know that this was the disposition of
the inhabitants.
June 9, 1769.— Boston, June 1. Election of " Gentlemen Councillors" for the en¬

Jan. 17, 1772.—" To the Printers of the Boston Gazette. Dec. 27, 1771. Sirs: The
enclosed I received some time since, and as it is explanatory of the conduct of the author,
and may be of some importance to the public, I desire you to publish it in your next paper.
I have not asked leave of the writer for this freedom, but hope he will excuse it.
I am sirs, your humble servant, A. Z.
Boston, Dec. 12, 1771.
" Dear Sir : As you are desirous of having an account of the late transactions of the
Governor and Council relating to me, and of my conduct respecting the same, I shall
gratify you by giving you a short detail, that you may be able to judge not of their
unpoliteness, but of their cruelty towards me. I now consider myself as a magistrate
or public person, and as such I had a right to be treated, but was disappointed.
It may not be amiss to give you an account of the whole proceedings. On the 15th of
November last, I received a polite message from the Governor and Council, by Mr. Baker,
desiring my attendance at the council chamber. This I have no fault to find with. The
distress of my family on account of a sick child, who died that day, was such that I could
not attend, and I excused myself in the most polite manner I was capable of. A few days
after came a citation conceived in the terms following, viz.: —
" Province of Massachusetts Bay. To Joseph Greenleaf of Boston, in said Province,
Esquire: You are required to appear before the Governor and Council at the council
chamber in Boston 011 Tuesday the 10th of December next, at ten of the clock in the fore¬
noon, then and there to be examined touching a certain paper called the Massachusetts
Spy, published the 14th day of November, 1771. Whereoff, fail not at your peril.
Dated at Boston, the 16th day of November, 1771. By order of the Governor with the
advice of Council. Thomas Flucker, Secretary. This proceeding alarmed me, as I
judged it wholly illegal. My duty to my country therefore forbade any obedience to it,
especially as it might hereafter be used as a precedent (considers at length the legal
points of the question and ends). This affair as it concerns myself gives me no
uneasiness, for by leaving the county where I had jurisdiction I voluntarily relinquished
it, yet according to Dalton I still have jurisdiction ^hen I please to take my seat on the
bench at the Court of Sessions in the County of Plymouth.
I am, Sir, your most humble Servant, Joseph Greenleaf.
" P. S. A secret has leaked out: it is said it was my duty, as a Magistrate, to have
prevented the publication of a piece signed Mucius Sczevola! But I have no such connec¬
tions with Mr. Thomas or any other printer as give me a right to restrain him or them in
any publication; though I must confess that if I had power to restrain the press, I should
have no inclination to hinder Mucius or any other writer from laying their sentiments
before the public."

principles, and in answer to one which had previously appeared in his paper, and pub¬
lished to support his character as an impartial printer. Mr. Greenleaf consoles himself

children, the children of Foster would be the legal heirs. Mr. Foster moved from
Boston and resided there some years, until his death about 1S20. Then, by agreement,
the property was divided into four parts, and that part denominated No. 1 fell by lot to
Elizabeth Haven, and this was the Henry Vassall estate, now so called. The present
proprietor purchased the estate of Messrs. Greenleaf and Hilliard (Hon. Simon G.) rep¬

it was conveyed to Henry Vassall, in 1741."

1649, May.—On a committee of the deputies " to consider of a way, and draw up a law,
for dividing the shires, and the treasury in each shire, bringing all courts to an equality

Suffolk, and Norfolk, the latter containing Salisbury, Hampton, Haverhill, Exeter,
Dover, and Strawberry Bank (Portsmouth).
An Historic Rock.
An interesting memorial of the survey of 1652 is a large rock, exposed to view in
consequence of a dam having been thrown across the head of the wears at the point where
Lake Winnipiseogee discharges its water into the upper Merrimac. For more than a
century afterwards, the whole country on the western shores of Lake Winnipiseogee
remained an unbroken wilderness, covered with dense forests penetrated only by the
native Indian, or by the scouting parties of the English which were sent out from time to
time to secure the frontier settlements from the murderous attack of the savage foe.
During all this period the existence of this memorial seems to have been unknown.
On the very spot which the commissioners established as the most northerly line of the
patent, or certainly very near to that spot, the rock was discovered about the year 1838 when
building the dam :—it was " deeply imbedded in the gravel, with its surface but little above
the water, and about twenty feet in circumference."
On this rock there is the following inscription, viz.:—
EI S W
W P IOHN
ENDICVT
GOV
This points unerringly to the time of the survey, and to the spot which the com¬
missioners, in their return to the General Court, designate and establish as the north
line of the patent; while the sculpture on the rock confirms the great fact, and marks the
presence of the commissioners at that place, for that object, two hundred and forty-three
years ago. Endicott was then the governor of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, and the
commissioners have very properly inscribed his name at full length, with the abbreviation

PERSONAL HISTORY.
1. EDMUND GREENLEAF,
The Common Ancestor of this Family, came to America and
Settled in Newbury, Mass., in 1635.
Of the origin of the family, from all that can be gathered, it is be¬
lieved that the ancestors of Edmund were Huguenots, the name being a
translation of the French " Feuillevert." As the name has not been
found among the English parishes, other than at Ipswich, County of Suf¬
folk, England, it is believed that the family (Feuillevert) came as French
refugees to England with many other Huguenots, who fled from their
homes on account of their religious principles, and settled in England
some time in the sixteenth century. Edmund Greenleaf was a silk-dyer
by trade; a trade that does not appear among the English industries until
about the time of the coming of the French refugees.
On the parish records of St. Mary's la Tour in Ipswich, County Suf¬
folk, England, is recorded: "Edmund Greenleaf, son of John and Mar¬
garet, was baptized Jan. 2, 1574." '
Among the family relics still preserved is the cane brought to this
country by Edmund Greenleaf; it bears the initials "J. G." on a silver
band near the handle.
Edmund Greenleaf married Sarah Dole, and by her had nine chil¬
dren, whose names appear on the records of the parish of St. Mary's la
Tour above mentioned. It is supposed there were two others,—John,
born about 1632, and who died in Boston, Dec. 16, 1712; and Mary,—
referred to in "Savage's Dictionary," Vol. IV. p. 476: "John Wells, of
Newbury, took the oath of allegiance, May, 1669, and was made a freeman
the same month, a carpenter, married March 5, 1669, Mary, probably
daughter of Edmund Greenleaf, and had, December 16th, Mary, who died
the year following. Mary, again, born Feb. 16, 1673. William, born Jan.
15. 1675."
All of the nine children named in the chart, and whose baptismal
records and deaths appear on the parish records of St. Mary's before men¬
tioned. were born in England. Mr. Greenleaf lived near the old town
bridge in Newbury, where for some years he kept a tavern. He was ad¬
mitted a freeman on March 13, 1639,* and on May 22d of the same year
was " permitted to keep a house of entertainment."
* A freeman in the early days of the colonies was one who held the right of fran¬
chise. No one was allowed that right without first becoming a member of the church. The
laws were made by a quorum of the " assistants " or " magistrates " sent out and commis¬
sioned by the company in London, which held the charter. The law compelling church
membership was passed by the " assistants " in 1631. In 1676 five sixths of the people of
Boston were non-voters, because they were not church members, and were thus shut out
from any participation in the local government.

Capt. Edmund Greenleaf moved to Boston with his wife Sarah about
1650 (New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. VI. page
102), where he buried his wife, and afterwards married Mrs. Sarah Hill,
widow of Wilson, 2d, of William Hill, of Fairfield, Conn., who had
several children by her former marriage. This marriage was rather an
unhappy one. In the early part of 1671 Mr. Greenleaf died. His will, a
very curious document, written, as is supposed, by himself, was proved
Feb. 12, 1671, and is recorded in the " Probate Records" in Boston, in the
volume for 1669 to 1674, page 112.
The following is a copy, the orthography being corrected :—
"In the name of God, Amen. The two and twentieth day of De¬
cember, sixteen hundred and sixty-eight, I, Edmund Greenleaf, being
mindful of my own mortality and certainty of death, and uncertainty of
the same, and being desirous to settle things in order, being now in good
health and perfect memory, do make, appoint and ordain this to be my
last will and testament in manner and form following: that is to say—
first and principally, I give and bequeath my soul into the hands of my
blessed Redeemer, the Lord Jesus, who hath died and gave himself for me,
and his blood cleanseth from all sin, and through his righteousness I do
only look for justification and salvation; and do commit my mortal body,
after this life is ended, into the dust from whence it was taken, there to be
preserved by the power and faithfulness of my Redeemer, Jesus Christ,
until the resurrection of the just, and then to be raised up by the same
power to immortality and life, where I shall see him as he is, and shall
ever be with him; and in this faith and hope I desire, through his grace
nd assistance, to live and die, and at last to be found of him in peace.
" Nextly, my will is, being according to God's will revealed in his
word, that we must pay what we owe and live of the rest, unto whose rule
the sons of men ought to frame their wills and actions; therefore, my
mind and will is, that my debts shall be truly and justly paid to every
man to whom I shall be indebted, by my executors hereafter named.
"And first I do revoke, renounce, frustrate and make void all wills
by me formerly made; and I declare and appoint this to be my last will
and testament.
" Imprimis—I give unto my son Stephen Greenleaf, and to my
daughter Browne, widow, and to my daughter Coffin, to each of them
twenty shillings apiece. Item—I give unto my grandchild Elizabeth Hil¬
ton, ten pounds. Item—I give unto my grandchild Enoch Greenleaf, five
pounds. Item—I give unto my grandchild Sarah Winslow, five pounds,
if her father pay me the four pounds he oweth me. Item—I give unto my

eldest son's son, James Greenleaf, twenty shillings; and after my funeral
expenses, debts and legacies are discharged, I give and bequeath the rest
of my estate unto my son Stephen Greenleaf, and to my daughter Eliza¬
beth Browne, and to my daughter Judith Coffin, equally to be divided
amongst them and their children. And, further, I desire and appoint my
son, Stephen Greenleaf, and Tristram Coffin the executors of this my will,
to see it executed and affirmed as near as they can ; and I further entreat my
cousin, Thomas Moon, mariner, to see to the performance of this my will.
" In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this
twenty-fifth day of December, 1668.
(Signed) Edmund Greenleaf. l. s.
"Signed, sealed, published, and declared to be my last will in the
presence of us,
"George Ruggell,
"John Furniside."
The inventory of Mr. Greenleaf's estate, which was appended to the
will, amounted to £131-5-9.
The following paper is also recorded in the " Px*obate Records," ap¬
pended to the will, as, probably, assigning the reason why the name of
his second wife, who appears to have outlived him, was not mentioned :—
" When I married my wife, I kept her grandchild, as I best remem¬
ber, three years to schooling, diet and apparel; and William Hill, her son,
had a bond of six pounds a year, whereof I received no more than a barrel
of pork of £3-0-0 of that £6-0-0 a year he was to pay me, and sent to her
son Ignatius Hill, to the Barbadoes, in mackerel, cider, and bread and
pease, as much as come to twenty pounds, and never received one penny
of it. His aunt gave to the three brothers £50 apiece. I know not
whether they received it or no; but I have not received any part of it.
"Witness my hand. (Signed) Edmund Greenleaf."
" Besides, when I married my wife, she brought me a silver bowl, a
silver porringer, and a silver spoon. She lent or gave them to her son,
James Hill, without my consent."
Note.—In reading the personal sketches of some of our early ancestors it will be
observed that little is said of individual characteristics, personal appearance, etc. Search
has been made in vain for such accounts concerning Edmund Greenleaf and some others.
Could we have found in these early days some such biographical material and correspond¬
ence as appears in our time it would have been more satisfying. We want to know more in
detail, more of the life of those who so earnestly wrought out our early history, and gave
form to our destinies,—an insight to their chief characteristics,—and to follow them, with
the mind's eye, through all the vicissitudes of their life; to be with them in their storm
and sunshine; that we may the better realize their trials, adversities, and joys, and catch at
least a glimpse of the experiences of their sympathies and affections.
The Dole Family. There seems to be good evidence that Dole, as
a family name, is of French origin, introduced like many others into
England by the Norman Conquest. It is supposed to have been derived
from the ancient city of Dole, and it is found early written in some
instances with the particle de before it.

PERSONAL HISTORY.
Richard Dole, the first American ancestor, was baptized in Ring-
worthy, near Bristol, Eng., Dec. 31, 1622. It was the residence of his
grandfather, Richard, and his father, William. He came to Newbury in
1639. He married Hannah Rolfe, May 3, 1647, who died Nov. 16, 1678.
His second wife was Hannah, widow of Capt. Samuel Brocklebank, of
Rowley, Mass., whom he married March 4, 1679. His third wife was
Patience Walker, of Haverhill, Mass.
Richard Dole (Richard1), b. Sept. 6, 1650, lived near his father, in
Newbury, Mass., on the north bank of the river Parker, just below the
Oldtown bridge. He married Sarah, daughter of Capt. Stephen Greenleaf.
1. Elizabeth Greenleaf, daughter of Edmund, b. about 1622, m.
in 1642, Giles Badger, of Newbury, Mass., and had one son, John, b. June
30, 1643. This John was twice married. By his second wife, Hannah
Swett, he had a son, Nathaniel, who removed to Norwich, Conn., and
was the ancestor of Rev. Milton Badger, D.D., Corresponding Secretary
of the American Home Missionary Society. Giles Badger d. July 10,
1647, and on Feb. 16, 1648, his widow married Richard Browne, by whom
«he had five children, and was again left a widow in 1661, and as such
is mentioned in her father's will as his daughter Browne, widow. She
resided in Newbury.
1. Judith Greenleaf, daughter of Edmund, b. Sept. 2, 1625, was
married first to Henry Somerby, a merchant tailor of Newbury, by whom
she had four children. Mr. Somerby was descended from Henry Somer¬
by, of Little Bytham, County Lincoln, England, who d. in 1609, leaving
two daughters and one son Richard, who inherited his father's estate.
Richard died March, 1639, leaving two sons, Anthony and Henry, who in
that year, 1639, sailed from England in ship "Jonathan," landed at
Boston, thence went to Newbury, where they purchased dwellings, and
soon after erected some more commodious.
Of the children of Judith Greenleaf and Henry Somerby, Elizabeth,
born November, 1646, married Nathaniel Clarke, of Newbury. Their son
Henry Clarke married, Nov. 7, 1695, first Elizabeth, born Jan. 12, 1679
[daughter of Stephen Greenleaf, born Aug. 15, 1652, and Elizabeth (Ger-
rish) son of Stephen Greenleaf, Sr., and Elizabeth (Coffin)], and second
Mary Pierce. Mercy Clarke, born Dec. 26, 1714, and daughter of Henry
Clarke and Mary Pierce, married Jonathan Longfellow, Oct. 28, 1731.
Their daughter, Sarah Longfellow, born Nov. 16, 1737, married Gen.
Joseph Cilley, of Nottingham, N. H. Their daughter, Sarah Cilley, mar¬
ried Thomas Bartlett, of Nottingham, and their son Greenleaf married
Jennie Nealley. Of the children of Sarah (Cilley) and Thomas Bartlett,
was David, the father of Greenleaf Cilley Bartlett, who was the oldest
practicing member of the Rockingham, N. H., Bar, and had long been its
Secretary. Thomas Bartlett was the son of Samuel, who was son of
Richard, who was son of Richard, who settled in Newbury, 1635. He
died May 25, 1647.
Mr. Somerby died in 1652, and on March 2d, the next year, Mrs.
Somerby married Tristram Coffin, Jr., who had been an apprentice to her

first husband. By this marriage she had ten children, who are the an¬
cestors of the Coffins in New England. Mrs. Coffin died in Newbury,
Dec. 15, 1705. Tristram Coffin, Jr., was born in 1632, lived in Newbury,
and was a merchant tailor. Further reference to the Coffin family will
be found in the personal history of Stephen Greenleaf.
A gravestone in the burial ground at Oldtown, Newbury, has this
inscription. It will be noticed that the date is at variance with other
records: —
"To the memory of Mrs. Judith, late virtuous wife of Deacon Tristram Coffin,
Esq., who having lived to see one hundred and seventy-seven of her children and child¬
ren's children to the third generation, died Dec. 13, 1705, as. So."
" Grave, sober, faithful, fruitful vine was she,
A rare example of true piety;
Widowed awhile she waited, wished for rest,
With her dear husband in her Saviour's breast."
2. Enoch Greenleaf, son of Edmund, was b. about 1617 in Ipswich,
Eng., and afterwards lived in the city of York, Eng. He was a silk dyer,
and was a lieutenant under Oliver Cromwell. It appears by the Town
Records that "Among the original settlers of Salisbury, Conn: No. 58
was Enoch Greenleaf. The whole number of settlers was 68, 3d day
i2mo 1650 (Signed) Thomas Bradbury Recorder;" by which it would
appear that he may have left the army of Cromwell after the battle of
Dunbar (Sept. 4, 1650), going first to Salisbury, Conn., and afterwards to
Boston, Mass., where his father and family were settled.
His father gave him a farm in Maiden, in 1663, and he probably resided
there many years, at least until the death of his father, in Boston, in 1671,
when he probably succeeded him in business as hosier and dyer in that town.
The deed of the farm above referred to is recorded with Middlesex
Deeds, Vol. VIII. p. 2, and reads as follows :—
"To all Christian people to whom these presents shall call to me,
Edmund Greenleafe of Boston, in the County of Suffolk in New England,
Dyer, sends greeting: Know ye that the said Edmund Greenleafe, for
diverse good reasons and considerations him hereunto moveing, as the

"Jno. Endicott, Govr."
An interesting incident connected with the name of a daughter of
Enoch Greenleaf may be mentioned. A particular friend and companion
in arms with Lieutenant Greenleaf was Major Rooksby. At the battle of
Dunbar, in Scotland, Sept. 4, 1650, Cromwell routed the Royalists, and
in his letter to Parliament, says, " Not one commissioned officer was slain
save one Cornet and Major Rooksby, since dead of his wounds."
May we not very reasonably suppose that after the death of his
friend, he should name his daughter for him ?
A mortgage deed of the Maiden farm which his father gave him is
recorded with Middlesex Deeds, Vol. VIII. p. 425, dated 1683. He therein
styles himself " Silk-dyer of Boston." His wife, Mary, signs the deed, and
four of their children are mentioned in it; viz., Enoch, Jr., Joseph, Ruth,
and Rooksby.
4. Enoch.3 Greenleat, b. 1647, in England, son of Enoch2 and
Mary, came with his father when he was quite young to America, and
settled in Maiden. He married first Bethiah Woodman, who died in
1678, age 28, and Aug. 29, 1679, married Catherine Truesdale.
Enoch Greenleaf, Jr., is mentioned as saddler, 1693, in N. E. Hist,
and Geneal. Register, Vol. I. p. 38.
His son Joseph4, b. April 4, 1687, by Catherine, was a distiller in
Boston, and is thus referred to in Mass. Bay Records, Vol. XVIII. p. 487 :
"Joseph Greenleaf petitions with Jonathan Prescott, distillers, Boston,
Nov. 3, 1748, for license to retail at their stillhouse."

for recovery of damages by detention of a horse. Suit had been defaulted."
Elizabeth Greenleaf, born 1716, daughter of Enoch, married Thomas
Gerry, an Englishman, shipmaster, who came to Marblehead, Mass., in
early life. Their son, Elbridge Gerry, born at Marblehead, July, 1744,
died Nov. 23, 1814, was Governor of Massachusetts, and Vice President of
the United States. He was named for his mother's great uncle John
Elbridge, Esq., Collector of the Customs at Bristol, England, who is said
to have left an estate of one million pounds sterling, a generous share of
which was bequeathed to some of his New England relatives. He was
educated at Harvard University, the usual honors of which he received in
1762 and 1765, and was a member of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences. He was one of the envoys extraordinary to the Republic of
France, and was called in the course of his life to fill various other offices
of honor and trust, and was one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde¬
pendence. His remains were interred at Washington, where he closed
his days with the respect due to the high station he held.
Thomas Gerry was commander of a merchant ship for some years,
but finally devoted himself to merchandise in Marblehead, where he
settled when a young man. The children of Thomas and Elizabeth
(Greenleaf) Gerry were 1 Thomas, a merchant, 2John, 3Elbridge, ''Eliza¬

William4 and Mary (Shattuck), m. Abigail Payne, the daughter of Rev.
Thomas Payne, of Weymouth, Mass., and who afterwards became a
merchant in Boston. The wife of Mr. Payne was Eunice Treat, the
daughter of Rev. Samuel Treat, of Cape Cod. He was the son of
Governor Treat, of Connecticut. This Samuel Treat married Abigail
Willard, the daughter of Rev. Samuel Willard of Groton, Mass., and
afterwards pastor of the Old South Church in Boston. Rev. Samuel
Willard was son of Major Simon Willard, and was born at Concord,
Mass., Jan. 31, 1639-40. Hon. Robert Treat Payne was the son of Rev.
Thomas Payne. He was graduated at Harvard College, 1749; was one
of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, a distinguished lawyer,
Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a Judge of the
Supreme Court, and a member of the Executive Council. The mother of
the Rev. Thomas Payne was the daughter of Mr. Thatcher, from whose
sister Judith, " Point Judith," a noted point on the south coast of Rhode
Island, takes its name. The tradition is that in former times she with her
father were on board a small vessel which got aground on that point and
came near being wrecked. She rendered great service and the vessel was
saved; in remembrance of this the crew called the point after her name.
The Rev. Thomas Payne was graduated from Harvard College, in 1717. The

Mr. Joseph Greenleaf was a popular writer and an ardent patriot,
and was the author of the " Noble Resolves" passed at a town meeting at
Abington, March 10, 1770, which reflected great credit on him. (See
Hobart's History of Abington.) He resided at Abington many years,
near where the present Townhouse stands. In 1771 he moved to Boston,
and frequently wrote for the Massachusetts Spy, printed by Isaiah
Thomas. Nov. 14, 1771 he wrote an article under the signature of
Mucius Scaevola, which caused much excitement among the authorities.
As they could obtain no satisfaction from Thomas, they summoned
Greenleaf, Nov. 16, 1771, to appear before the Governor and Council.
He refused to obey the summons, and was deprived of his commission of
Justice of the Peace, Dec. 10, 1771. In 1773 he opened a printing office in
Hanover Street, where he printed several pamphlets and books. In
August, 1774, he published the Royal American Magazi?ie. Nov. 22,
1772, he was on " a committee of twenty-one of correspondence, to state
the rights of the Colonists, and of this Province in particular." March 9,
1773, one of a committee of five " to consider what is proper to be done to
vindicate the town (Boston) from the gross misrepresentations and
groundless charges in His Excellency's messages to both houses." May
5, 1773, Sept. 25, 1774, and May 23, 1776, one of a committee of five "to
prepare instructions for our representatives in General Assembly." A
draught of the latter instruction read on May 30, 1773, at a town meeting,
contain these expressions: "The whole United Colonies are upon the
verge of a glorious revolution." " Loyalty to him (the King) is now
treason to our country." (See Boston Town Records.) It appears that on
Aug. 3, 1779, and as late as 1796, he was again a Justice of the Peace at
Boston, Mass. By a resolve of the General Court, Feb. 13, 1776, a " Com¬
mittee of Correspondence, Inspection, and Safety was chosen, of which
Joseph Greenleaf was chairman." (New England Geneal. Hist. Reg., Vol.
XXX. p. 382.) His will is dated Sept. 15, 1809.
8. Thomas6 Greenleaf (Chart XL.), b. 1755, son of Joseph5 and
Abigail, was a printer. In 1787 he purchased the New York Journal and
published it weekly. He also published The Argus, or Greenleaf' s Neiv
Daily Advertiser, as a daily. The Washington administration was vio¬
lently opposed in his paper.

death, Dec. i, 1690. In 1651, he married Elizabeth Coffin, the daughter
ofTristram and Dionis (Stephens) Coffin, Sr., of Newbury, Mass., by of
whom he had ten children. The first of the name in America was Tris¬
tram Coffin, who was born in Brixham Parish, town of Plymouth, Dev¬
onshire, England, in 1609. He was the son of Peter and Joanna Coffin,
and died 1681, se. 72. Tristram m. Dionis Stevens, and came to New
England in 1642, after the death of his father, bringing with him his
mother, who died May, 1661, se. 77, his two sisters, Eunice and Mary,
his wife, and also five children, whose names were Peter, Tristram, Eliz¬
abeth, James and John. Stephen was born in Newbury, May 11, 1652,
and Mary in Haverhill, Feb. 20, 1645. Two children were born in this
country. He came first to Salisbury, thence to Haverhill, the same year,
thence to Newbury about the year 1648, and in 1654 or '55 he removed to
Salisbury, Mass., where he signs his name Tristram Coffin, Commissioner
of Salisbury. In the year 1659, Thomas Macy, a name which had been
noted in our Colonial annals on account of his persecution for entertain-
ing Quakers in violation of the law of 1657, then a resident of Salisbury,
desiring a greater freedom of conscience than he had hitherto been per¬
mitted to enjoy among his own people, formed a company for the pur¬
chase of the Island of Nantucket,— then inhabited solely by a tribe of
Indians. Nantucket had previously been purchased by Thomas Mayhew,
Oct. 13, 1641 of James Forrett, agent of Lord Sterling, in New York, who
claimed for his principal all the islands lying between Cape Cod and the
Hudson River, under the patent granted to him and Sir Ferdinando
Gorges, but it had not yet been occupied. Richard Vines, of Saco, also
claimed it, but he had bought out his rights. Though the purchase had
been made in the winter preceding, the deed was not executed till the 2d
ofJuly, 1659.
Thomas Mayhew was a merchant of Watertown. The company
formed by Macy consisted ofTristram Coffin, Thomas Macy, Christopher
Hussey, Richard Swayne, Thomas Barnard, Peter Coffin, Stephen Green-
~leaf, John Swayne, and William Pike or Pile. To these were afterwards
added others, among whom were Tristram, Jr., and James, sons of Tris¬
tram Coffin, Sr. There were twenty persons who became the proprietors
in equal parts of the Island. The price paid was £30 and two beaver
hats. The Island is fourteen miles long, east and west, and three and
one-half miles wide.
Tristram Coffin was appointed as the first chief magistrate at Nan¬
tucket in 1671. One of the first votes of the town was that there "be a
harrow for the use of the inhabitants, and that Mr. Tristram Coffin pro¬
vide the harrow, and that he and Mr. Thomas Macy be empowered to see
that every man sowed seed according to order."
Mr. Coffin's name appears as witness to the Indian deed of Haver¬
hill, Mass., and he is said to have been the first to use the plough in
Haverhill.
Mr. Greenleaf was admitted a freeman at Newbury, May 23, 1677.

12. Capt. Stephen3 Greenleaf, Jr. (Chart I.), b. August 15, 1652,
son of Stephen,2 Sr., and Elizabeth (Coffin). Was a prominent man in
public affairs, and famed for his services in the Indian wars. He was
known as the "great Indian fighter"; and while the public records of the
Indian troubles of those days are meagre in their accounts, family tra¬
dition has handed down through the generations, and the records bear
evidence of, some of that service, reference to which will be found in the
section of this book relating to military service.
In the town records he was distinguished as Captain Stephen.
Robert Pike thus writes in 1690: "Capt. Pierce, Capt. Noyes, Capt.
Greenleaf, and Lieut. Moores, with the rest of the gentlemen of New¬
bury:—whose assistance, next under God, was the means of the preserva¬
tion of our towns of Salisbury and Amesbury, in the day of our distress,
by the assaults of the enemy." In 1675-76 he was one of the selectmen of
Newbury. Aug. 25, 1675, he was wounded by the Indians. In 1689 he
was appointed agent of the State to treat with the Indians at Penacook.
May 18, 1695.—He files a petition for relief, and presents the bill
for professional services of Dr. Humphrey Bradstreet, which reads,
" Bill for curing Capt. Stephen Greenleaf, who was wounded while
moving a family who had been taken from Newbury by the Indians,
£12-6-9."
March 1, 1696.—The town granted to Stephen Greenleaf four or
five rods on the flats, from Watt's cellar spring to Ensign Greenleaf's and
Mr. Davidson's grant, from high-water mark to low-water mark, to build
a wharf and a place to build vessels upon on certain conditions ; one was
that it come not within ten or twelve feet of the spring. On the 5th of
March, 1696, Captain Greenleaf addressed the following petition to the
General Court: " The petition of Capt. Greenleaf, of Newbury, Humbly
Showeth : That upon the Seventh of October last, about three o'clock in
the afternoon, a party of Indians surprised a family at Turkey Hill in
said town, captured nine persons, women and children, rifled the house,
carrying away bedding and dry goods. Only one person escaped, and
gave notice to the next family, and they the town; upon the alarm

the captives were recovered and brought back. The enemy lay in a gully
hard by the roadway, and about nine at night made a shot at your peti¬

to your petitioner in the cure of them, and have in a great measure utterly
taken away the use of his left hand, and wholly taken off from his em¬

honorable court that they would make him such compensation as shall
seem fit; which he shall thankfully acknowledge, and doubts not but will
be an encouragement to others, and possibly to relieve their neighbors
when assaulted by so barbarous an enemy. And your petitioner shall

March 6.—Read and voted that there be paid out of the province
treasury to the petitioner the sum of forty pounds.
The first grandchild of Tristam Coffin was Stephen Greenleaf, who
was born Aug. 15, 1652. He well remembered his great-grandmother,
and lived to see his great-grandchildren, and transmitted the following
account of the increase of the family at two different periods, from
August, 1652, to August, 1722, and from August, 1722, to May, 1728; a
period of five years and nine months, reckoning only children by blood.
The first column shows the number who were born before August,
1722, the second the number then living; the third the number which had
been added between August, 1722, and May, 1728; the fourth, the number

Mass., Feb. 14, 1648-9, married Col. Thomas Nojes, of Newbury, Dec.
28, 1669. She died Sept. 3, 1674. Her husband married Elizabeth Green-
leaf, Sept. 24, 1677, and they had eight children.
The Newbury town records show Sarah Pierce was there married
Aug. 24, 1659, to Caleb Moody, son of William, the first of that family in
Newbury.
There cannot be much doubt that Sarah, the wife of Caleb Moody,
was a daughter of Daniel and Sarah Pierce, and that she was born in
Watertown, Mass.
December 1, 1686. Capt. Daniel Pierce and Stephen Greenleaf, Sr.,
were added to the deacons, as Overseers of the Poor.
13. John3 Greenleaf, son of Stephen and Elizabeth (Coffin), b.
June 21, 1662, resided in Newbury until his death. He was admitted to
the First Congregational Church in Newbury, with his first wife, Eliza¬
beth Hills, on Jan. 31, 1696. He was buried near the north corner of the
" Oldtown " meetinghouse. The house of worship occupying that site
in 1854, probably covers the grave.

Note. There were three John Greenleafs living in Newbury at the same time, viz. :
John, Senior, the son of Stephen; John, Junior, the son of Samuel, and nephew of John,
Senior; John, third, the son of John, Senior; and they are thus distinguished in the New¬
bury records. John, Senior, is sometimes called " Quartermaster John."
14. Samuel3 Greenleaf (Chart II.), son of Stephen and Elizabeth
(Coffin), b. Oct. 30, 1665, resided in Newbury, Mass., and married Sarah
Kent, the daughter of John Kent, Jr., and Sarah (Woodman), and grand¬
daughter of James Kent, who with his brother Richard owned Kent's
Island and much land in Oldtown, and were men of great local impor¬
tance. Their father was Richard.
26. Stephen1 Greenleaf (Chart II.), son of John, Senior, and
Elizabeth (Hills), b. Oct. 6, 1704. Resided in Boston on what is now
Washington Street (then Newbury Street), a little south of the Lamb
Tavern, where he died Dec. 22, 1765. His remains lie in the tomb of
Mr. Wallis, near the north corner of Park Street Church. He had eleven
children. Of the five children who married, Thomas married the Widow
Harris, whose son by her first marriage was the Rev. Dr. Harris, of
Dorchester. John, another son, run the first stage from Boston to Ports¬
mouth. Eunice married Samuel Franklin, of Boston. She left a daugh¬
ter Hannah, and she married Samuel Emmons, of Boston. They resided
in Elliot Street.
17. Rev. Daniel4 Greenleaf, son of Captain Stephen3 and Eliza¬
beth (Gerrish), was born in Newbury, Mass., Feb. 10, 1679-80. He was
graduated at Harvard College in 1699, and for about six years practiced
medicine in Cambridge, Mass., where he married Elizabeth, the daughter
of Samuel and Mary Gooking. About the year 1706 he commenced

preaching, and in 1708 was ordained pastor of the Congregational
Church in Yarmouth, Mass., succeeding the Rev. John Cotton* as min¬
ister, where he remained nearly twenty years. Some difficulties arising,
he resigned his charge in 1727, and removed to Boston. His wife had
taken her family of twelve children long before to Boston, an interesting
account of which appears in a letter from his great-grandchild, Mrs.
Elizabeth L. Sewall, wife of General Sewall, of Augusta, Me., written
April 12, 1847, to Hon. Simon Greenleaf, of Harvard College, Cambridge,
which is as follows :—
" My mother has often told me his wife, with 12 children, went to
Boston, where, having some knowledge of medicine, from her father's
being a physician, she opened an apothecary and grocer's shop, and
thus supported her family and educated her eldest son at college. Mr.
Greenleaf remained for a time with a remnant of his charge who were
strongly attached to him, but finally, I believe, the majority quarrelled
him away. I well recalled hearing my mother often say that at this
juncture they brought an accusation against him ' that he talked of
worldly matters on the Sabbath'; the worldly matters were that in the
course of one Sabbath he received a letter from his wife, saying their
eldest son appeared at the point of death with small-pox, and that unless
he came on immediately he would not probably find him living. The
good pastor was too poor to own a horse, and after the second service
requested the loan of one from one of his deacons, that he might set off
soon after midnight for Boston. He found the boy living, and he lived
to be upwards of ninety (90) years old. I well recollect, when a child,
hearing this case narrated by my mother, and thinking her grandfather
must have been a very good man. He afterwards removed to Boston,
and joined his family, many of whom married very young. My grand¬
mother married a gentleman just established in the mercantile line, and
he afterwards became very prosperous and very benevolent. She was
but fifteen when she became mistress of a family.
" The good man (whose portrait f awaits your acceptance) was in the
habit of going around once a week to see all his married children who
were settled in Boston, and not very remote from his own mansion. On
one of these occasions when coming out of the last house he fell, and so
injured his back that he never rose from his bed after being put into it,
but was confined two years, only being moved by his sons and sons-in-
law from one bed to another on a sheet. This duty was performed when
they assembled in the evening, after the business of the day was over.
I have often heard my mother say how many pleasant hours she passed
in her grandfather's sick chamber; he was always so cheerful and so in-
* Rev. John Cotton was brother of Rev. Roland, of Sandwich, and son of the Rev.
John of Plymouth, who was son of Rev. John of Boston, who had been the minister in Bos¬

Greenleaf, D.D., son of the Hon. Simon Greenleaf, and was by him presented to Mary

structive, it was a privilege to be near him; and she Avould likewise
mention he read the Scriptures, and his devotional exercises in the
family. At this time his wife had become totally blind, therefore the
care and expenses of the family devolved on the children."
In the proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society, as re¬
ported in Vol. X., appears the following:—
List of principal manuscripts belonging to the Society, " Commen-
dium Physical," by Charles Morton, of which there are four copies
(manuscript) transcribed respectively by John Webb in 1677, Daniel
Greenleaf, 1697.
By the Records of Massachusetts Bay, Vol. VIII. p. 124, it appears
that on Friday, June 8, 1705, the Legislature passed an order allowing
Rev. Daniel Greenleaf £6 for support to the present year, " and as the
greater part of the Isles of Shoals belonged to the Province of New
Hampshire, they were expected to supply the balance of his salary as
minister, £14, to be paid from the public treasury." The allowance of
£6 to be paid probably bv the people of the Isle of Shoals, he being settled
there as minister.
In the same records, Vol. XIII., we find he petitions to get his
salary paid from October, 1723 to October, 1726, at the rate of £80 silver
money 15 pennyweight, or £120 in Province Bills. Before the Legislature,

The Shop was in what is now Washington Street, between Court
and Cornhill, Boston, very near the old bookstore of Crocker & Brewster,
which was near the corner of Court and Washington, where now stands
the Ames Building. Here Mr. Greenleaf resided until his death, which
took place suddenly on Aug. 26, 1763, at the age of eighty-three years.
He was buried near the stone chapel on Tremont Street.
Elizabeth Gooking, wife of Rev. Daniel Greenleaf, came from dis¬
tinguished stock in New England, an extended notice of which will be
interesting to her descendants and others.
As has frequently occurred with modern surnames, the name
Gooking appears to have undergone a number of transformations. In
Harris' "History of the County of Kent, London, 1729," the following
various spellings appear indexed as Gooking; viz., Cockayne, Cockoyn,
Cokain, Cokin, Calkin, Gockin, Gokin, Gookin, and Gooking. Capt.
John Smith, who evidently knew General Gooking's father, calls him
Gockin and Gookin General Gooking's great grandfather spelled it
Gokin. Burke, "Burke's Commoners," writes it Gookin to this day,
while General Gooking's descendants write it Gooking, and General
Gooking wrote it Gookin. It would seem that the name tallied originally
with the coat of arms or device of the family, and coat armor is quite
certain.
By the family record in the College of Heralds in the British
Museum, being as far back as Arnoldus, great-great-grandfather of
General Gooking, it is well settled that the family came originally, as far
as known, from the city of Canterbury. They were proprietors of Worth-
gate in that city. William Gooking lived there in King John's reign
PERSONAL HISTORY.
§5
{1199-1206). He founded a hospital there, and was a prominent bene¬
factor to other hospitals.
A William Gooking was ballivi (chief magistrate) of Canterbury in
1250 and in 1267, and Edmundus Gooking was also in 1358. On removing
from Canterbury they built the country seat of Fredville, or Froidville,
in the tenth year of King Edward III. Camden, in "Britannia, London,
1695," mentions Ashburn, in Derbyshire, as a town where the Gookings
have long flourished.
Arnoldus, the great-great-grandfather of General Gooking, was of
Kent County, England, and the heraldic genealogies give neither the
name of his wife nor of any of their children but Thomas, the eldest son
and heir.
Thomas Gooking was of Brakesbourne, Kent County, England, and
married Elizabeth, only child and heiress of Durant. Salisbury's
Charts, large quarto Volumes, say : " Thomas Goolkyn (or Goolken), Co.
Kent, d. 1599, m. Amy Durant, 1st w." I have been unable to get infor¬
mation of any of their children but the eldest son and heir, John.
John Gooking was of Ripple Court, Kent County, England. He
married Katharine Denne, daughter of G. and Agnes (Tufton) Denne,
his wife. G. Denne was of the eleventh generation from Sir Allured
Denne, Kt., Seneschal of the Priory of Christ Church. Sir Allured was
son of William Denne, of East Kent, who was living in the time of King
John. William Denne was son of Ralph de Denne, 20th from William the
Conqueror, Lord of Buckhurst, Sussex, Kent, and Normandy, in the time
of Edward the Confessor (V. Berry's "Kent Genealogies").
Agnes Tufton was daughter of Nicholas Tufton, and she died in 1588
at Brakesbourne, where John Gooking lived at that time. The children
of John and Katharine Gooking were four; viz., Anna, John, Daniel, and
Vincent, and of the first two I have been able to learn nothing but their
names. The two younger sons (the younger of whom became Sir Vincent
Gooking) married in England and emigrated to Carygoline, Ireland, from
whence Daniel with his family returned to England, and in 1621 emigrated
to Virginia, where he arrived November 22 (V. Capt. John Smith's " Gen¬
eral Historie") (Lord i. " Lempriere," 145). He brought with him, at his
own expense, fifty men, with many or all of whom he had made a contract
to provide for them. (Capt. John Smith calls them " his own men.")
He settled at Newport News, Va., and I have been unable to learn of any of
his family save his son, Daniel, who subsequently became General Gooking.
When the Indian troubles arose in Virginia, and the planters with
their people were warned to fly for protection, Daniel Gookin remained at
his plantation, or " Lordship," as it was called, and successfully withstood
them. In Virginia he was styled Daniel Gookin, Gent.
Dec. 29, 1637, a grant of 2,500 acres in the upper country of Norfolk
was made to Daniel Gookin, Esq., and in 1642 he was made Commander
of the Military Commission of Upper Norfolk at about the time when a
grant of 1,400 acres was made (Nov. 4, 1642) to his son, Daniel, the
captain of a "trained band." This grant was on the Rappahannock
River, "about thirty-five miles upon the north side."
86
PERSONAL HISTORY.
The name Daniel Gooking is prominently identified with the early
history of Virginia and New England, and it appears indubitable that
there were two of them—father and son. Many references to a Daniel
Gooking, by people of veracity and authority, who seem to have knowl¬
edge of the matters spoken of, are incompatible with the idea of a single
person. History often repeated and irreproachable is in perfect harmony
with the idea of two Daniels, of whom the elder was the prominent and
wealthy immigrant and civilian who had been in the Kentish Militia, and
the other the captain, magistrate, and general who died in Cambridge.
Certainly General Gooking could not have been in the Kentish
Militia, as has so often erroneously been stated of him, for he was but
nine years of age when he came to this country with his father; nor
could he have been the Virginia immigrant of that time who brought fifty
men at his own expense.
The Gookings, father and son, would appear to have considered
England their home for quite a long period after emigration, as General
Gooking, in 1639, styled himself Daniel Gookin, Gent., of St. Sepulchre
Parish, London.
The earliest mention of the age of General Gookin which I have
been able to find, is that given at his marriage license in November,
1639, as twenty-seven years, which would fix his birth in 1612, and this
agrees with the record of his tombstone, which tells us that he was
seventy-five years old in 1687. He died March 19, 16S7. Though a mere
child when he accompanied his father to this country in 1621, he went to
England for his wife, and Nov. 11, 1639 he was granted a marriage license
by the Bishop of London, to marry Mary Dolling, aged twenty-one,
orphan spinster, of St. Dunstan in the west. He evidently returned
immediately to this country, for in 1642 the grant of land to him was
made, as already stated.
As a result of the preaching of the missionaries who had been sent
from New England to Virginia in 1642 and 1643, he became converted,
and was induced to come to New England, perhaps the more easily
because of the troubles in Virginia which arose in consequence of the
civil wars in England. Cotton Mather's "Magnolia," a prolific source
of historic and genealogical errors, speaks of him as one of the con¬
stellations of converts made by the labors of Rev. William Tompson, who
went from New England to Virginia in 1643 :— ,
" Gookins was one of these: by Tompson's pains,
Christ and New England a dear Gookins gains."
He purchased a ship from the Governor of Virginia, and with his
family (wife and daughter Mary) and some others, he arrived at Boston
May 10, 1644. He was admitted to membership in the Boston church
May 16, 1644, and on May 19th was honored with the freedom of the
colony. Such favors were rarely granted to persons of so short a resi¬
dence, and this was probably intended as an acknowledgment of his
kindness to the New England missionaries in Virginia. He was admitted
a freeman in 1644, and in the same year was made captain in the Middle-

sex regiment. "At the General Court of Election held at Boston, the
3d of May, 1676, Capt. Daniel Gookin was by the whole Court chosen
and appointed to be Sargant-Major of the Regiment of Middlesex." From
his arrival he was prominently identified with the history of the colony,
and enjoyed many of its honors. He appears to have settled at first in
Roxbury, where two of his children, Elizabeth and Hannah, were born.
He became a member of the Artillery Company in 1645. He removed to
Cambridge in 1648, and on September 3d of that year was dismissed from
the Boston church to the church in Cambridge. In 1649 he was chosen
Representative from Cambridge, and again in 1651, in which latter year
he was Speaker of the House. In 1652 he was a Magistrate and assistant
to the Governor of Massachusetts Colony, and is said to have retained
these positions until 1686,—a term of thirty-five years. He was of the
High Republican party in politics, and stood firm to the old charter,—un¬
willing to yield the rights and liberties of the people when they were
required to do this by the arbitrary measures of Charles II. Sewalls'
Diary* thus speaks of him :—
"Daniel Gookin was a man of noble soul, of many virtues, es¬
pecially those which are hardest to acquire and to practice, and his life
was devoted to ends of public service." He was as conspicuous for his
piety as for his morals. He was friendly to Cromwell, whom he went to
visit in 1656. Cromwell employed him to persuade the inhabitants of
Massachusetts to remove and settle the Island of Jamaica, which had
lately been taken from the Spaniards; but in this he met with no success.
He was in sympathy with the party of the Regicides, and because of his
secreting, sheltering, and protecting two of the judges who had con¬
demned Charles I., viz., Gen. Edward Whalley and Col. William Goffe,
complaint was made against the Colony by the Royal Commissioners.f
In 1662 he was appointed one of the licensers of the printing press in
Cambridge, and in 1663 he was appointed a Public Censor of printing.
Prior to 1675 he had been the Superintendent of all the Indians who had
submitted to the Provincial Government, and knew more about them then
than all the other magistrates. He was Eliot's most trusted friend and helper
in his work. What he wrote about the efforts in behalf of the Indians is
of the highest value. May 11, 1681, he was elected Major General of all
the military forces of the Colony. He was the last Major General under
the old charter. This post of honor was continued under the charter of
William and Mary.
The previous Major Generals had been Dudley, Endicott, Gibbons,
Sedgwick, Atherton, Dennison and Leverett. He appears very respecta¬
bly as an author. His work entitled " Historical Collections of the
Indians of New England," by Daniel Gookin, Gentleman, is published in.
the first volume of the collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society.
He died poor,—an old man whose days had been filled with usefulness.
He died about five or six o'clock a. m., March 19, 1687. Of his wife,.

wife, Mrs. Hannah (Tyng) Savage, widow of Habijah Savage, whose will
was made in 1675, as he was going with his command to King Philip's

By his second wife, Hannah (Tyng) Savage, he is said to have had
a daughter Hannah; but I am compelled to doubt this, as Mrs. Savage
had a daughter Hannah when he married her, and as this Hannah after¬
wards became the wife of Rev. Nathaniel Gooking.
Samuel Gooking, third son of General Daniel, and father of Elizabeth,
wife of Rev. Daniel Greenleaf, was born as stated, April 22, 1652. He
inherited his father's military spirit, and was a captain as early as 1692.
He was active in raising troops for the expedition to Canada in 1711. He
was Sheriff in 1689, and Marshal General March 5, 1691. He held this
office for a time in Suffolk, and was appointed to the same office in
Middlesex, which he held until July 27, 1729, except for the period from
December, 1715, to July, 1717. His first wife was Mary . They
had five children : 1Mary, born Aug. 26, 1679, thrice married: (1) married
Dr. Samuel Gedney; (2) married Rev. Theophilus Cotton, July 16, 1711;

he was remarried to Mrs. Hannah Biscoe, widow of Thomas Biscoe.
He died Sept. 16, 1730.
19. Stephen4 Greenleaf (Chart II.), son of Captain Stephen8 and
Elizabeth (Gerrish). Was born in Newbury, Mass., Oct. 21, 1690, and
resided there until after his marriage and the birth of four sons; viz.,
Enoch, Richard, Samuel, and Ebenezer. The records of the town of
York, Me. (incorporated 1639), give the following: " Stephen Greenleaf,
his children, born in York, of his wife Mary. Lydia, born May 3, 1722;
Stephen, born Feb. 27, 1724-25; Joseph, born July 2, 1727; Mary, born
Feb. 17, 1730-31."
PERSONAL HISTORY.
89
It has been supposed that Stephen removed to Woolwich from New¬
bury about the year 1720, but it now appears he had intermediate resi¬
dence between Newbury and Woolwich. In 1720 but slight beginnings
had been made in the settlement of the district; the Indian War soon
began and drove out, it is said, every one who had entered. It would
appear that he removed first to York, Me., from Massachusetts, probably
about 1720-21, then farther east to Falmouth, about 1731, as by the
records there we find :—
" Stephen Greenleaf, Mariner, York," bought lot and house in
present Portland in 1731. " Stephen Greenleaf, Pound Keeper," Back
Cove, Falmouth, March 26, 1734. " Stephen Greenleaf, of Falmouth, and
Mary, wife, sells title in Mill Stream and Mills in Falmouth," in 1736.
Stephen Greenleaf had conveyance of his land in June, 1738, in Wool¬
wich. " Stephen Greenleaf paid for killing a Wild-cat," May 1, 1743.
Richard Greenleaf, his son, sells part of the same, "improved and pos¬
sessed twenty-nine years last past," in 1767. It also appears upon the
records that " Stephen Greenleaf, York, Coaster," et al., bought a right
in land in Monsweag Bay, in 1729, including the tract in which he after¬
wards lived. Land conveyances being accepted, under conditions, as evi¬
dence of residence, it would appear that 1738 was the time of his taking
up his residence in Monsweag (Woolwich).
25. Benjamin4 Greenleaf (Chart II.), b. Nov. 21, 1701, son of
John,3 Sr., and Elizabeth (Hills), died in Newburyport in 1783, at the age
of eighty-two, having been a Representative in the Legislature, and other¬
wise repeatedly honored with marks of the public confidence. July 8,
1741—May 31, 1749, Representative from Newbury, Mass.
37. Dr. Daniel5 Greenleaf, b. Nov. 7, 1702, son of Rev. Daniel4
and Elizabeth (Gooking). Was for a number of years a practicing phy¬
sician at Hingham, Mass., and removed with his family to Boston in 1732.
38. Hon. Stephen5 Greenleaf (Chart IV.), b. Oct. 4, 1704, son
of Rev. Daniel4 and Elizabeth (Gooking). Was graduated at Harvard Col¬
lege in 1723, and received the degree of A.M. from that college, and in
1750 he received the honorary degree of A.M. from Yale College. On
leaving Harvard he went into a store in Boston as a clerk. At an early
age he commenced business on his own account, which he followed suc¬
cessfully for about forty years, and was then largely engaged as an
underwriter, there being no public insurance offices in the country at that
time. His house was in what is now Tremont Street, fronting the com¬
mon, near where the Masonic Temple stood for many years at the corner
of Tremont Street and Temple Place, and his garden extended to West
Street. At the time of the American Revolution he was holding the
office of Sheriff of the County of Suffolk, under the King. The county
then comprehended what is now Suffolk and Norfolk Counties, together
with Hingham and Hull in the present county of Plymouth.

PERSONAL HISTORY.
After Lexington battle, Boston was closely shut up, and Mr. Sheriff
Greenleaf, being a Tory, remained there with the British troops, exercising
his office only within the lines. The British evacuated Boston in March,
1776, and a new Legislature was chosen in May following.
Stephen Greenleaf was a protester against the Whigs in 1774, and
one of the ninety-seven gentlemen and principal inhabitants of the cap¬
ital who addressed General Gage on his departure, in 1775. He was re¬
ported by the Committee of Correspondence as "inimical to the Rights
and Privileges of the United States of America," and a request was made
for his arrest. His arrest was ordered by the Council of Massachusetts,
April, 1776.
After the Declaration of Independence was declared he resigned his
office, and keeping himself quiet, lived unmolested in Boston till his
death, which took place in January, 1795, at the age of 91.
38. Abigail Greenleaf (Chart V.), b. Sept. 18,1743. Daughter of
Hon. Stephen and Mary (Gould), married Judge Howard, of the Supreme
Court of South Carolina. During the war they went to England, where
he died. Mrs. Howard returned to Boston, and lived with her father until
his death. She had no children, and when she died she bequeathed a valu¬
able collection of books to the " Boston Library," and a considerable
amount of property to Trinity Church, making Bishop Parker her execu¬
tor and trustee.
39. Dr. John5 Greenleaf (Chart IV.), b. Nov. 8, 1717, son of Rev.
Daniel4 and Elizabeth (Gooking). Was bred a druggist, and bore the
title usually of " Doctor," though he was not a practicing physician. He
resided in Boston, where he died Aug. 27, 1778, and was buried, as is sup¬
posed, in a vault under Brattle Street Church. His name was cut in the
stone on the south side of the church, fronting on Brattle Street.

40. Hon. William5 Greenleaf (Chart IV.), b. Jan. 10, 1725, son
of Rev. Daniel4 and Elizabeth (Gooking). Was bred a merchant, and for
many years resided on Hanover Street in Boston. He was a stanch
Whig and active in the Revolution, and was one of the commis¬
sion of seven chosen secretly at town meeting held in Boston, Nov. 2,
1772, to correspond with men in the other colonies in regard to measures
to be pursued. That committee often met at his house. One of the
number was Benjamin Greenleaf, of Newbury; another of that committee
was Dr. Nathaniel Appleton. This committee undertook what was de¬
cidedly the most hazardous part of the Revolution : their lives were not
only in each others' hands, but at the mercy and discretion of utter
strangers throughout the colonies. They signed a bond in the most em¬
phatic language, never in any emergency, even unto death, to betray each
other or the cause.

He was appointed Sheriff of Suffolk by the Governor and Council
Oct. 31, 1775, which office he held until the appointment of his successor,
Joseph Henderson, Dec. 14, 1780, his elder brother, Stephen, holding the
same office under the King. The Congress was then sitting in Water-
town, and as Boston was closely shut up at the time, he exercised his
office in the other parts of the county out of Boston.
Monday, July 15, 1776.—A committee of the council, consisting of
John Winthrop, William Phillips, and Francis Dana, was appointed to
take into consideration in " what way, manner, and form the declaration
of the honorable Continental Congress should be made public." This
committee reported on Wednesday, the 17th, and the council then ordered
that "the said declaration be proclaimed by the Sheriff of the County of
Suffolk, from the balcony of the Statehouse in Boston, on Thursday next
at one o'clock p. m., in presence of, and under direction of, a committee
of the council to be appointed for that purpose."
In July, 1776, when Independence was declared, the Sheriff, Mr.
William Greenleaf, proclaimed it from the balcony of the Old State House,
in State Street, at one o'clock in the afternoon, as appears by the Conti¬
nental Journal and Weekly Advertizer, printed in Boston, July 25, 1776, in
the following: "At one o'clock the declaration was proclaimed by the
Sheriff of Suffolk, which was received with great joy, expressed by three
huzzas from a great concourse of people assembled on the occasion."
Two boys, John Quincy Adams and William Cranch, about eight
and ten years of age, wished to hear and see Mr. Greenleaf read the
" Declaration of Independencemuch to their delight, two gentlemen
raised them on their shoulders. One of the boys afterwards became Presi¬
dent of the United States, and the other became Chief Justice of the Circuit
Court of the District of Columbia. He married a daughter of Mr. Green¬
leaf. His son was Christopher Pearse Cranch, the Cambridge poet and
painter. After the war, Mr. Greenleaf gave up business in Boston, and
removed to New Bedford, Mass., where he died, July 21, 1803. Mr.
Greenleaf was a tall, slim man, walking very erect. He dressed usually
in a brown, single-breasted coat and cocked hat, after the fashion of those
times. He usually carried a gold-headed cane, and wore ruffles in his
bosom and on his wrists.
41. Dr. Daniel6 Greenleaf, Jr. (Chart IV.), b. Sept. 2, 1732, son of
Dr. Daniel5 and Silence (Marsh). Studied medicine, and afterwards went
to England, whereon May 5, 1763, he married Anna Burrell. Returning
to America he practiced medicine in some part of Worcester County,

42. Israel6 Greenleaf (Chart IV.), b. March 29, 1734, son of
Dr. Daniel5 and Silence (Marsh). Was a farmer, and resided in Bolton for
many years. About the year 1791, he removed to New Marlborough, in
Berkshire County, Mass., and thence in a few years to Whitestown, in
the State of New York; and thence, about the year 1800, he removed to
Brookfield in the State of New York, now the town of Columbus, in Che¬
nango County, where he resided until his death, which took place March 4,
1824, at the advanced age of 90 years. He was a very active and business¬
like man, and accumulated a considerable property. He owned several
farms in and about Bolton, while he resided there, and was very success¬
ful in some land speculations in the State of New York. He purchased a
large tract of land where the City of Utica is built, which he sold at a
large advance. He then purchased largely in the town of Rome, which
he turned to advantage, and then purchased at Chenango.
In person, Mr. Greenleaf was about six feet in height, very slim, and
upright; he had keen blue eyes, rather small. He was rather prematurely
bald, and wore a skullcap. In his later life he was a religious man, and
was in communion with the Methodist church. When 84 years of age he
would mount a spirited horse with as much agility as a boy of sixteen.
He delighted much in riding, and generally kept spirited horses.
PERSONAL HISTORY.

43. Stephen'5 Greenleaf (Chart IV.), b. Oct. 15, 1735, son of Dr.
Daniel5 and Silence (Marsh). Was the fifth child of Dr. Daniel Greenleaf,
of Bolton. He married Eunice Fairbanks, of Boston, where he resided
until the autumn of 1771, when he removed to Brattleboro, Vt., having
purchased a tract of land of about eight hundred acres, then known as
"The Governor's Farm," comprehending what is now the whole of the
East Village of Brattleboro. Here he built mills, and opened, as is sup¬
posed, the first store in Vermont. His dwelling house occupied the pres¬
ent site of the " Phcenix House." The sawmill stood upon land after¬
wards occupied by the paper mill, and the gristmill was erected upon the
spot afterwards used for the machine shop of Hines, Newman, Hunt &
Co. That part of the village where the railroad depot is situated was
used by Mr. Greenleaf as a goat pasture, Flat Street for a garden, and
the rest of the land in the village not covered with forest as a cow pas¬
ture. For some time after Mr. Greenleaf moved into the place his was
the only family residing within the limits of the village, and there were
not more than twenty families in the town. He built the first dwelling
house, the first sawmill, and the first gristmill erected in the village.
An old bill of lading found among the papers of his son Stephen,
shows how intimately religious feeling mingled with the business trans¬
actions of life. Mr. Greenleaf, when living in Boston, was a shipping
merchant, and received the following bill of lading, dated Aug. 26, 1767 :
" Shipped by the grace of God, in good order, by Stephen Greenleaf, Jr.,
in the good ship ' Betsey,' whereof is now master, under God, for this
voyage, Thomas Robson, now at anchor in the harbor of Boston, and by
God's grace bound for London, two bags containing Spanish mills and
dollars, etc., etc. And so God send the good ship to her desired port in
safety, Amen."
44. David3 Greenleaf (Chart IV.), b. July 13, 1737, in Bolton,
Mass., son of Dr. Daniel5 and Silence (Marsh). Was bred a goldsmith,
which business he followed for the most of his life. He married Mary
Johnson, of Norwich, Conn., June 2, 1763, daughter of Ebenezer and
Deborah (Champion), and it appears their first child, Mary, was born
there, and probably the second (David), also. We find he purchased land
and dwelling of John Moore, in Lancaster, Mass., Nov. 1, 1769 (Wor¬
cester Records), and that he and his wife Mary were in Lancaster, or
Bolton, 1769-1770-1771-1772. Jan. 1, 1772, he sells land in Lancaster, with
buildings, to Calvin Greenleaf (Worcester Records). Nov. 11, 1772,
"David Greenleaf and Mary, his wife, of Bolton, Mass., conveyed to
Daniel Greenleaf, Physician, of Bolton, Mass., a parcel of land, with
dwelling, situated in Norwich" (Norwich Records). From this, it appears
that David and Mary returned to Bolton.
The first record of David's owning land in Coventry, Conn., is in
1778, when he purchased of Daniel Robertson, Jr., land, house, and black¬
smith shop. Feb. 28, 1791, he sells this land to his son David, of Hartford,
who sells it Jan. 15, 1805, to William and Susanna Lyman, of Coventry
(Coventry Records). (See Military Service.)

PERSONAL HISTORY.
45. Gen. William6 Greenleaf (Chart IV.\ b. Aug-. 23, 1738, son
of Dr. Daniel5 and Silence (Marsh). Was bred to the business of a drug¬
gist in Boston, where he married Sally, the seventh child of Edmund
Quincy. Dorothy, the fifth child, married John Hancock, Governor of
Massachusetts. Some years after his marriage he removed to Lancaster,
Worcester Co., where he resided until his death. Mr. Greenleaf was
much in public life, being Sheriff of the County of Worcester for many
years, and a Brigadier General in the militia of the State.
Sept. 8, 1777.—As one of the Selectmen of Lancaster, he makes re¬
turns,—under an order for a census of the male citizens of military age
(sixteen years old and upward).
Lancaster, Nov. 19, 1781.—On Thursday morning last, a considera¬
ble number of the most respectable inhabitants of this place assembled at
the Sun Tavern to celebrate the capture of Cornwallis, when, after mutual
congratulations on this happy event, the company, conducted by William
Gree?ileaf, Esq., formed and marched in procession through the principal
streets of the town, preceded by an advance guard, fieldpiece, and band
of music, with American colors displayed. Having fired sundry salutes,
followed with three huzzas, the company returned to the " Sun, ' where
an elegant dinner was provided for them and such gentlemen from the
neighboring towns as were pleased to favor them with their company.
After dinner the following toasts were drank, each being followed by a dis¬
charge of a fieldpiece with three cheers.-—Massachusetts Sfty, Nov. 22,
1781.
During the exciting times of the Shay Insurrection Col. William
Greenleaf was sheriff of the county. On Wednesday, the 22d of Novem¬
ber, 1786, he had, from the courthouse steps in Worcester, read the riot
act and harangued the crowd, an armed mob, there congregated to pre¬
vent the sitting of the Court of General Sessions. One of the orators of
the insurgents, in reply, took the occasion to state that among many
•grievances which they found too oppressive for human endurance, and
from which they were resolved to have speedy relief, were the sheriff him¬
self and his exhorbitant fees. Colonel Greenleaf coolly rejoined: "If
you deem my fees for execution oppressive, gentlemen, you need not wait
'longer for redress; I will hang you all for nothing, with the greatest
pleasure."
An interesting list of official prices current at the close of the second
year of the war is found in the Lancaster town records, beautifully en¬
grossed; it is entitled, "Regulating Act, 1777."
The Selectmen and committee for the town of Lancaster having met,
agreeable to the order of the General Court, proceeded to set the price of
■the necessary and convenient articles of life as follows, viz. :—

47. Hon. Thomas0 Greenleaf (Chart V.), b. in Boston, May 15,
1767, son of Dr. John5 and Ann (Wroe). Was graduated at Harvard Col¬
lege in 1784, and in 1S06 was appointed a Special Justice of the Court of
Common Pleas. He was admitted to the Bar in Suffolk County, 1809, and
was Representative to the General Court from 1808 to 1820; a member of
the Executive (Governor Brooks) Council, 1820 to 1822; and was for
twenty-five years or more chosen moderator of town meetings at Quincy.
During the progress of rioting known as " Shay's Rebellion," 1786-87,
he served in the ranks, and went in pursuit of the rebels. On arrival at
Groton the troops were told their services were not needed, as the rebels
had already dispersed. ("New England Genealogical Register," Vol.
VIII.) . His name appears also as serving in the War of 1812. Mr. Green¬
leaf married Mary D., daughter of Hon. Ezekiel and Ruth (Avery) Price,
of Boston. Mr. Price was for many years clerk of the court in Boston.

church at Quincy, Mass., and the pew No. iS which he occupied. Also
the pew No. 2 of his cousin Daniel, and pew No. 70 of his cousin John
Greenleaf (sons of Hon. William). Daniel bought and occupied the pew
(2), and the large and beautiful estate of Moses Black, the original estate
of Edmund, ancestor of the Quincy family.
On the death of the Hon. Thomas Greenleaf, Jan. 4, 1854, a funeral
discourse on "The Christian Standard of Honor," was delivered by the
Rev. W. P. Lunt, a copy of which may be found at the library in the
State House, also in the "New England Historical and Genealogical
Register," Vol. VIII. pp. 196, 197.
His daughter, Mary Ann Wroe (Chart V.), married Dr. Ebenezer
Woodward, of Quincy, Mass. Her husband, after providing liberally for
her, his sister, and other relatives, bequeathed the larger part of his great
wealth to the town of Quincy, to establish and maintain forever an insti¬
tute for the education of females from the ages of ten to twenty, who are
born in Quincy, and none others ; the property to be managed by the
Selectmen, together with the clerk and treasurer, and the school by the
ministers of Quincy. All ornamental as well as useful branches the donor
wished to have taught in the institute, which is to be located on the
Greenleaf farm. In case the town declines the bequest on these terms, or
fails to comply with the conditions of the will, the property is to go to
Dartmouth College without restrictions.
47. Ezekiel Price7 Greenleaf (Chart V.), b. May 22, 1790, son of
Hon. Thomas6 and Mary Deming (Price). For fifty j'ears was a resident
of the picturesque town of Quincy, Mass. He lived the life of an ancho¬
rite, and was brimful of eccentricities. Parsimony was his most salient
characteristic. With hundreds of thousands of dollars behind the stout
granite Avails of the Safe Deposit Company, he would deny himself
nearly all the privileges and most of the necessaries of life. His neigh¬
bors in Quincy regarded him as inordinately, irrational as regards his
habits and dress. But when he died he owed nobody. His latter years
were spent chiefly during the summer in the pretty little country village of
Nunda, in New York State. There, also, he pursued his hermit-like
methods. He lived in a little wooden house; what company he had was
confined to an old and trusted servant. What Mr. Greenleaf ate he raised
himself in the little garden hard by. He positively refused to be compan¬
ionable to his neighbors. Since 1872 he spent his winters at 72 Waltham
Street in Boston. This uncommon personage was ninety-six years and
six months old when he died. He had nearly all his life been hale and
hearty, strong and muscular; for the past two years of his life, however,
he failed rapidly, and he died of old age. It was simply the going out of
the lamp of life. He died as easily as a child would go to sleep.
He was the last remnant of a union between the Greenleaf and Price
families, and with him the family in his line became extinct. He was
born on Beacon Street in Boston, where the Athemeum now stands, and
in which his picture hangs on its walls. He was a student of physiologi¬
cal literature. There is a little nook in one corner of the library where it

was his wont to sit for hours at a time, apparently engaged in deep study.
Mr. Greenleaf was educated in the Latin School in Boston. His educa¬
tion was made as thorough as was practicable in the early days of tuition
in Boston. He was prepared for a business career, but subsequent events
proved that he was not suited to it.
At an early age he engaged in mercantile pursuits in South Carolina.
It is not known whether or no he was successful in the venture; how¬
ever, he returned to Boston shortly afterwards and entered the flour trade,
under the firm name of Apthorp & Greenleaf. About 1830 the firm failed.
In the meantime his father had taken up his residence in Quincy, and
the young man went there to live. He never entered business again,—that
is, to any extent. During the half century that he lived in Quincy, Mr.
Greenleaf passed his time in profound study and working in the garden
attached to the house. He seldom went anywhere, and was rarely seen
on the street. People called him a misanthrope. The first two decades
of his residence in Quincy he was poor. When he went to live at his
father's house Dame Rumor says he hadn't a farthing, but his father had
money, and so had his aunt, Mrs. Daniel Greenleaf. He and two sisters
were the onl_y heirs to their personal effects. Their deaths brought Mr.
Greenleaf, as nearly as can be learned, into the possession of property
worth in the neighborhood of $40,000. When his sisters died he naturally
came into possession of their property, and this rapidly accumulated
wealth in his hands. Mrs. Appleton, the last of his two sisters, died in
August, 18S5. She was his sole companion in the winter residence on
Waltham Street. It was principally through his saving habits that at the
time of his death Mr. Greenleaf was worth about $500,000. This sum has
since then increased in volume, and has been turned over to Harvard
College, to aid that institution in preparing young men to fight the battle
of the world with credit to themselves. The amount named by the
Treasurer of Harvard College as having been received from his estate,
was seven hundred and eleven thousand dollars ($711,000). So it will be
seen that Mr. Greenleafs idiosyncrasies were not without a method, after
all. This noble gift is the sequel. Whether or no he has cherished this
effort at benevolence, and denied himself even the privileges of life to
accomplish it, is not known. But there can be no doubt of the ultimate
purpose of his life.
Despite his peculiarities he bore an excellent character. He dis¬
played sterling qualities while laboring under adversity. He was a firm
believer in industry and perseverance. Concerning poverty, his theory
was, the more you help poverty the more poverty there would be. He
never forgot the division his Uncle Daniel made of the poor. His uncle
said there were three classes,—the Lord's poor, the Devil's poor, and the
poor devils. The Lord's poor were victims of extenuating circumstances.
The Devil's poor became poor through their devilment; and the poor
devils were made so by their indolence.
His will is dated Feb. 19, 1870, George T. Bigelow, Richard Cranch
Greenleaf, and Stephen H. Williams being the executors. There are a
few private bequests, which are mostly revoked in the codicil. The tes-

tator gives "all the rest, residue and remainder of his estate, real, per¬
sonal and mixed, to the president and fellows of Harvard College, to have
and to hold the same to their successors and assigns forever, absolutely,
and in fee, in trust, nevertheless, for the uses and purposes herein set
forth : The said president and fellows are to take and to receive said
property and estates, and to hold, manage, and invest the same according
to their best judgment and discretion, taking care, however, to keep said
property and estates as a distinct and separate investment, apart from all
other investments made, so that the same may at all times clearly appear
on their books of account. The said trust fund thus held and invested is
to be called and known as the ' Price-Greenleaf Fund'; the net income
derived from said fund to be used and appropriated by said president and
fellows as follows: viz., A sum equal to but not exceeding $3,000 a year
shall be divided in 300 shares each, to be paid each year to an under¬
graduate of insufficient means to pursue his studies in the academic de¬
partment of the college, preference being given to those who by industry
and good conduct, and zealous effort, shall be deemed by the president
and dean of the college entitled to encouragement, etc. The rest of the
income is to be appropriated for the maintenance and support of the
library of the college, etc.; but no part of the income is to be applied in
the erection of any building."
The testator describes himself as formerly of Quincy, but now of
Boston.
40. Susanna Greenleaf (Chart VI.), b. Feb. 6, 1754, daughter of
Hon. William5 and Mary (Brown) ; m. Capt. Duncan Ingraham, of
Greenville Farm, near Poughkeepsie, N. Y. They had twelve children,
one of whom, Susan Coburn, married Dr. Samuel Perry; another, Sophia
May, married the Rt. Rev. Philander Chase; another, Maria, married
Leonard Kip ; and of their children, one was Leonard Kip, the author, and
another the Rt. Rev. William Ingraham Kip, Bishop of California.
Com. Duncan Nathaniel Ingraham, who distinguished himself in
rescuing Martin Koszta, the Hungarian refugee, at Smyrna, April 4, 1854,
was a nephew of Capt. Duncan Ingraham, who was fifth generation from
William Ingraham, who came to Boston, Mass., in 1653. He was born at
Charleston, S. C., on Dec. 2, 1S02, and was the son of Nathaniel Ingraham
of the same place. He belonged to a family eminently naval in its char¬
acter. His father, when but twenty years of age, took part as a volunteer
with his intimate friend, John Paul Jones, in the engagement of the " Bon
Homme Richard" with the " Serapis," off the British coast. His uncle,
Capt. Joseph Ingraham, United States Navy, was lost in the old ship
"Pickering," which foundered at sea in 1800, and was never heard of.
His cousin, William Ingraham, a lieutenant in the navj' about 17S4, was
killed at the age of 24 by the Indians at Nootka Sound, on the west coast
of Vancouvers Island. The officers and entire crew, except Jewett and
Thompson, of the ship "Boston," from Boston and bound to Pacific
Coast, were massacred on Christmas Day, 1S02. Having been invited on
shore to a feast, they were betrayed and murdered.
PERSONAL HISTORY.

Duncan N. Ingraham was sent at an early age to Boston to be edu¬
cated in the family of his grandfather, and entered the navy as midship¬
man in 1812. He served continuously in the navy of his country from
that time until the secession of his native State, South Carolina, in i860.
In 1825 he was promoted to a lieutenancy. In 1S38 he was promoted to
commander, and served two years on the Brig " Somers," blockading the
Mexican ports. At the capture of Tampico, Captain Ingraham was sent
ashore, and receiving the letters of capitulation himself, was sent by
Commodore O'Connor with dispatches to Washington.
In 1852 he was ordered to command the Sloop of War " St. Louis,"
in the Mediterranean Squadron. While at Smyrna he with great prompt¬
ness and decision rescued Martin Koszta, a Hungarian refugee, who had,
become a citizen of the United States, from the Austrians, threatening the
Austrian vessels, although greatly outnumbered by them in guns and
men. For this brave action the United States Government presented him
with a medal. The working classes in England, in token of their admira¬
tion, presented him with a magnificent chronometer. The citizens of
New York, at a monster mass meeting, presented him with a gold medal-
At the breaking out of the Civil War he returned to the United
States, and resigned his commission Jan. 1, 1861. He entered the service
of the Confederate States in March, 1861, and was in action several times
in and around Charleston Harbor. In 1863 he, with two Confederate
ironclads, the "Palmetto State" and " Chicora," broke the blockade of
the harbor. In 1865, when the Confederates evacuated Charleston, Com¬
modore Ingraham blew up his fleet and retired with General Johnstonr
who surrendered his command at Goldsboro, N. C.
Commodore Ingraham married Harriott Horry Laurens, grand¬
daughter on the paternal side of the patriot, Henry Laurens, President of
the Continental Congress. The issue of this marriage was eleven
children, a number of whom are living in Charleston, S. C. He died at
Charleston, Nov. 16, 1891.*

Hampshire, in 1630. His brother Dudley was Chief Justice of Vermont,
and also Senator. Bishop Chase founded Kenyon College, in Ohio, and

Rev. Dr. Sparrow, who married Frances Greenleaf, youngest daugh¬
ter of Susanna (Greenleaf) and Duncan Ingraham, Jr., and his three
sons, served in the Virginia State troops in the Civil War.
40. William8 Greenleaf (Chart VI.), son of Hon. William5 and
Mary (Brown). Was born in Boston, Feb. 5, 1760; graduated at Harvard
College in 1777, and pursued the study of medicine and surgery. He died
Nov. 24, 1778, of a malignant fever contracted on board a prison ship; he
being the only student who would venture on board to separate the sick
and dj-ing from the dead.
49. John6 Greenleaf (Chart VI.), b. Sept. 10, 1763, son of Hon.

Quincy, Mass. Of his long and beautiful life, which closed on earth in his
eighty-fifth year, on March 29, 1848, the Rev. Dr. Lunt writes: "This

condition required was an office of love, and never a burden, through his
uniform cheerfulness and Christian goodness. Mr. and Mrs. Greenleaf
were among the excellent of the earth; and the memory of their quiet
worth is cherished in many hearts."
Mr. Greenleaf was quite proficient in music, as an organist and per¬
former on other musical instruments. He was a constant attendant at
church.
50. James'5 Greenleaf (Chart VI.), b. in Boston, June 9, 1765, son
of Hon. William5 and Mary (Brown). He was appointed very early in life
Consul of the United States to x\msterdam, where he amassed a large
fortune. Returning to his country in 1795, he embarked in speculation
with Robert Morris and John Nicholson, and became with them one of
the founders of the celebrated " North American Land Company," which
resulted in the ruination of its originators; afterwards he took up his
residence in the District of Columbia. When the Federal Capital had
been located on the Potomac, Morris and James Greenleaf purchased from
the commissioners six thousand lots in the prospective city of Washington
at the price of $480,000, and it is said they purchased as many more from
other persons. He was the owner of the ground upon which was built
years ago an Arsenal and the District Penitentiary, and upon which is
now located the military post known as Washington (D. C.) Barracks.
It was in the Penitentiary grounds that the persons charged with the
conspiracy to kill President Lincoln, Secretary Seward, and others,—viz.,
Booth, Atzerodt, Harold, Payne, and Mrs. Surratt,—were executed, and
subsequently buried. The last four were executed by hanging; Booth
was shot. The name given to this point of land is Greenleaf's Point.
Mr. Greenleaf's second wife was Ann Penn Allen, daughter of James
Allen, founder of Allentown, Penn., and son of William Allen, Chief
Justice of the Province before the Revolution. Her mother was Elizabeth
Lawrence, a granddaughter of the distinguished Tench Francis, the uncle
of Sir Philip Francis, the accredited author of "Junius."
40. Rebecca6 Greenleaf (Chart VI.), b. May 27, 1766, daughter of
Hon. William5 and Mary (Brown), m. Noah Webster, the Lexicographer,
who was a son of Noah and Nancy (Steele) Webster, born Oct. 16, 1758,
in Hartford (the part now forming the separate town of West Hartford),
and who died in New Haven, Conn., May 28, 1843. His house is still
standing in West Hartford on the direct road, about one mile south of the
church, wrhich stands in the center of the town.
He came of substantial stock. His great-grandfather was one of the
first settlers in Hartford, and Governor of Connecticut. His mother was
a descendant of William Bradford, the Plymouth Governor. Mr. Webster
entered Yale College in 1774. He had been but a few months in college
when the thrilling story of Lexington and Concord came, followed soon
by Bunker Hill.
General Washington and his staff passed through New Haven on his
way to take command of the revolutionary force gathered in Cambridge.

PERSONAL HISTORY.
They lodged there, and in the morning were invited to see the drill of a
company of the students, who finally escorted General Washington as far
on his way as Neck Bridge. Webster had the honor of leading the way,
blowing a fife. In the third year of his course, on account of the war,
college life in New Haven was broken up, and the classes were dispersed in
various towns. Webster's class went to Glastonbury, and on the alarm by
the approach toward Connecticut of Burgoyne, accompanied by a large band
of savage Indians, a company went from West Hartford, commanded by
Deacon Webster, and in that company went his three sons, Noah among
them. This company took part in the brilliant victories which ended in
Burgoyne's surrender. The following year Noah finished his college
course.
Mr. Webster produced a great number and variety of educational
books before he was twenty-six years oid. His famous old Spelling Book
has kept its place, and between forty and fifty millions of copies have been
printed. But it is on his more famous Dictionary that his real fame rests.
Of the children of Noah Webster and Rebecca, Emily S. married
William Wolcott Ellsworth, LL.D., the third son of Oliver Ellsworth,
second Chief Justice of the United States. He received his early education
at Windsor, Conn., where he was born. In 1806 he entered Yale, and was
graduated in 1810. He began his legal studies at the Law School at
Litchfield, under the guidance of Judges Reeve and Gould, and continued
them in Hartford, in the office of his brother-in-law, the late Chief Justice
Williams. He was admitted to the bar in 1813, and established him¬
self in Hartford in the practice of his profession. In 1827 he was sent to
Congress by the Whigs of his district, and continued there for five years.
In 1838 he was elected Governor of the State by a large popular majority.
He was continued in this office four years, being each time re-elected by
the people. While Governor he was twice offered an election to the
Senate of the United States, but declined to be a candidate. In 1847 he
was elected by the Legislature a Judge of the Superior Court and Supreme
Court of Errors. He remained on the bench as an associate Judge of the
Supreme Court until his office expired, by limitation of law, upon reaching
the age of seventy. In Judge Ellsworth were hereditary qualities of great
mental and moral worth. Like his father, the Chief Justice, he was re¬
markable for the simplicity of his taste and habits. In manner he was
dignified, and he had as fine a personal presence and bearing as any man
of his time. He loved his country unselfishly; he loved his state as a
patriot should; he loved his profession; he loved his church; and his
love for home and the enjoyments of social life was never weakened by
his public callings.
Of the children of Judge Ellsworth, Elizabeth, born June 8, 1824,
married Hon. Waldo Hutchins, a prominent lawyer of New York City,
and who was graduated from Amherst College in 1842. He became a law
student in the office of Schell & Slossen, composed of Augustus Schell,
the famous Tammany lawyer and politician, and John Slosson, who after¬
wards was a Judge of the Superior Court of New York. After Mr.
Hutchins' admission to the bar he was taken into partnership, and the

firm name was changed to Schell, Slossen & Hutchins. In 1850 he was
elected to the New York Legislature; in 1855 a member of the First Park
Commission; in 1879 he was elected to Congress, and remained there
until the day on which Grover Cleveland was inaugurated President of
the United States.
40. Anna (Nancy) Greenleaf (Chart VI.), b. June 3, 1772, the
youngest daughter of Hon. William5 and Mary (Brown) Greenleaf, m.
Hon. William Cranch, the eminent jurist, who for fifty years was Chief
Justice of the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia, and of whose
decisions in all that time only two were overruled by the United States
Supreme Court. He was appointed to the Circuit Court by President
John Adams, and Chief Justice by President Thomas Jefferson. He was
first cousin to John Quincy Adams. His daughter, Abigail Adams
Cranch, was wife of Rev. William G. Eliot, D.D., of St. Louis, Mo. The
family belonged distinctively to Massachusetts, with the early history of
which colony and state it was identified. They are both buried in the
Congressional Burying Grounds.
53. Richard Cranch." Greenleaf (Chart VI.), b. Nov. 9, 180S, in
Cambridge, Mass.; son of John'3 and Lucy (Cranch). Entered the dry-
goods business as a boy when thirteen years old, with Penniman &
Cutler. His next employers were Mayo & Hill; then Geo. Hill & Co.,
Mr. Greenleaf being a partner in the last-named firm from 1829 to 1834.
Their place of business was on Washington Street, Boston. He withdrew
from Hill & Co., and re-entered trade with Mr. John Chandler, as Chand¬
ler & Greenleaf, occupying the armory building, 337 Washington Street.
Mr. Chandler finally withdrew in 1845, going to Europe, leaving Mr.
Greenleaf to carry on the business alone, which he did successfully until
1846. Then he associated himself as an active partner in the newly
formed house of Hovey, Williams & Co., afterwards C. F. Hovey & Co.,
in which he continued until his death. Mr. Greenleaf had been the
longest in business of any retailer in Boston. He had long been inter¬
ested in the study of natural history, which he made his pastime. He
was president of the Boston Microscopic Society, a vice president of the
Boston Natural History Society, a vice president of the Franklin Savings
Bank, and succeeded Hon. Otis Norcross as president of the Home for
Aged Men, in which he took an active interest from its foundation. In
every relation Mr. Greenleaf won the esteem of those with whom he as¬
sociated or had dealings, and his memory will long be cherished a.s that
of a just, able, generous, and agreeable gentleman. His love of well¬
doing was inherent. It was not a studied effort for him to become inter¬
ested in good works. It was a part of his nature and the outcome of his
faith to seek to alleviate misery and to carry comfort to the suffering.

PERSONAL HISTORY.
40. Christopher Pearse Cranch (Chart VI.), b. at Alexandria,
Va., March 8, 1813, son of Anna [Nancy] (Greenleaf) and Hon. William
Cranch. He was educated at Harvard College, and prepared for the min¬
istry at the Divinity School at Cambridge, where he was graduated in 1835.
Seven years later, however, he retired from the ministry, and determined
to follow an artist's career. He studied art in Italy in 1S46-4S, and from
1853 to 1863 lived and painted in Italy and France. Then returning to
America, was elected in 1864 a member of the National Academy, and
made his permanent home in Cambridge, Mass. Among the best known
of his paintings are : " October Afternoon," 1867; "Washington Oak, op¬
posite Newburg, N. Y.," 1868; " Val de Moline Amalfi," 1869; " A Roman
Citizen," "Venice," "Neapolitan Fisherman," and "Venetian Fishing
Boats," 1871. His daughter, Caroline A. Cranch, who studied under him
and under William Hunt, has attained success as an artist; and his brother,
John Cranch, was a well-known portrait painter, and an associate of the
National Academy.
It is, however, as an author that Christopher P. Cranch is best
known, his graceful writings in prose and verse having multitudes of ad¬
miring readers throughout the English-speaking world. Perhaps his
greatest work was his translation of Virgil's "yEneid " into English blank
verse, which appeared in 1872. His first book was a volume of " Poems,"
in 1844. Others were: "The Last of the Huggermuggers," 1856, and
" Kobboltozo," 1857 ; volumes of children's stories, illustrated by himself;
" Satan," a Libretto, 1873; "The Bird and the Bell, and Other Poems,"
1875, and "Ariel and Caliban, and Other Poems," 1886. His attractive
personality, the purity of his aims, and the spirituality of his nature, won
him a confidence and regard which his devotion to his art deepened into
admiration.
57. Hon. David7 Greenleaf (Chart VII.), son of Israel6 and Pru¬
dence (Whitcomb), b. March 9, 1763, in Bolton, Mass. Left home when
about twelve years of age, joining his brother John, who was in the
Revolutionary army. Leaving Massachusetts in 1779, he went to South
Carolina. Procuring a horse there, he started across the country to the
Ohio River, meeting with many adventures from wild beasts and In¬
dians. Frequently in traveling over the mountains night would overtake
him, and finding no sign of a habitation, he would dismount, select a
tree with low branches, tie his horse to a swinging limb, climb the tree,
taking his saddle with him for a seat, and would then buckle himself to
the tree with his surcingle, to prevent falling if he should drop asleep.
Frequently the wolves made doleful howling around the tree, frightening
the horse; and the cold would be so intense that he would often have to
descend from his perch and run around the tree, clapping his hands, until
thoroughly warmed. He traveled in that way until he reached the Ohio
River, where he took a fiatboat and landed in Natchez, Territory of
Mississippi, a Province of Spain, about the year 17S0. He served six
months under the Spanish Government against the Indians, remaining
in this Province; and after it was acknowledged, by treaty with Spain, to

be within the limits of the United States, and the formation of a Territo¬
rial Government, he became one of the first members of the Legislature
of the State.
He was by nature a man of great inventive genius and a natural
machinist. He built the first cotton gin in Mississippi, about the year
1785, inventing a turning lathe to file out the teeth of the gin rags; also
invented the square screw cotton press for cotton bales : before that the
cotton was pressed in large bags.
In those early days the women had to pick the seed from the cotton
with their fingers; he invented a little roller machine, which by feeding
with one hand and turning with the other, a few pounds a day could be
ground out. In 1799 he built a gin for himself, and did the public ginning
for the neighborhood for several years. In 1816 he invented a cotton
planter and scraper. It was worked by one man and one horse, would
open the furrows, drop the seed, and cover with a small harrow attached.
He also invented a screw propeller for flatboats and skiffs to cross the
river at Natchez. At the time of his death, by yellow fever, in Warren
County, Miss., Oct. 13, 1819, he was preparing models for patents. His
invention of the cotton press, together with others mentioned, were greatly
calculated to improve the culture and development of cotton, which was
becoming a most important article of trade.
It was not an easy matter to get a patent in those days, so he passed
away without having accomplished his wishes; and it is hardly known
now that he was the inventor of some of the useful machines which have
since been so greatly improved upon that the originals have been lost
sight of and forgotten entirely. He was Assessor and Tax Collector
at different times in Adams County, Miss., and was highly respected by
all who knew him. He was generous to a fault, and full of fun and
anecdote. He was a member of the Baptist Church for over fifteen years
before his death, was very temperate in his living, and considered the use
of ardent spirits as a beverage a great evil, and was never known to use
them as such.
There is one other incident in the life of this man that is interesting
and romantic: it relates to his first marriage, which occurred during the
Spanish Provincial Government of what was then known as the Natchez
District. A few years before, several families, mostly relatives, had
emigrated to this district from South Carolina. The most prominent
among them were members of the Baptist church, who were always reg¬
ular in their family devotions and worship of God from their first settle¬
ment in the country; but the government, which was Roman Catholic,
soon forbade them these privileges, and greatly persecuted them besides,
so that they were compelled to worship and administer the rites of their
religion in secret. The Rev. John Greenleaf Jones, a nephew of the first
Mrs. David Greenleaf, in a series of letters descriptive of the introduction
of Protestantism into Mississippi, and published in a religious paper of
New Orleans, thus relates the incident: "Thus things were managed
successfully for a few months; but an additional circumstance had trans¬
pired characteristic of the times, which, when known, greatly enraged the

priesthood and Spanish officers. David Greenleaf, an accomplished
young gentleman from the North, had gained the heart and hand of Miss
Phebe Jones, daughter of John Jones; but such was their sense of the
wrongs inflicted by the Catholic hierarchy that they resolved not to be
married by priest or Spanish officer. They, moreover, believed that the
uncle of Miss Jones, Rev. Richard Curtis, being a preacher of the gospel,
was as duly authorized in the sight of God to solemnize the rites of
matrimony as any one else, and made application to him accordingly.
But no one, not even the parents of Miss Jones, were willing to risk the
consequences of having the marriage performed in their house Arrange¬
ments were therefore made for Mr. Greenleaf to go, on the 24th of May,
1795, with a few select young gentlemen, to the village of Gayoso, which
was situated on the bluff about eighteen miles above Natchez, and there
procure the license from the proper officer. Then, considerably after
nightfall, they were to be found on the road two or three miles south of
Greenville, and going in the direction of Natchez.
In the meantime the bridal party, including Mr. Curtis, were to be
taking an evening ride in the opposite direction, and, lest some traitorous
person might accidentally fall in with either party, they agreed upon a
sign and countersign in case all was well; but if any suspicious person
had fallen in with either company during the darkness of the night, they
were to pass each other in silence. At the appointed time and place the
parties met. Young folks, however, must have their fun—something to
laugh about afterwards. On meeting, the bridal party announced the
mysterious word, but there was no response, and they passed without
recognition. " Who on earth can they be?" inquired one, in a suppressed
tone. "It's them," said another, "and something has happened." A
settled gloom was coming down on that lovely bride and her company,
when the young men suddenly wheeled about and gave the countersign.
The parties then alighted near the residence of William Stampley, on
what is still known as " Stampley's Hill"; and by torchlight, under the
widespread boughs of an ancient oak, the marriage ceremony was duly
performed, and Mr. Curtis concluded by a most impressive prayer, long
talked of by those who were present. The parties remounted, the light
was extinguished, and each sought concealment in the privacy of home.
"A numerous, intelligent, and pious posterity is the result of that re¬
markable wedding."
In person, Mr. Greenleaf was about five feet eight inches in height,
thickset, and somewhat stoop-shouldered, with black eyes and black,
curly hair, but quite bald in the latter part of his life. He was a man of
great strength and energy. (See Military Service.)
73. Daniel8 Greenleaf (Chart VIII.), b. Nov. 11, 1797, son of
David7 and Phebe (Jones). He was much like his father in appearance
and disposition; was a good scholar, and a man of more than ordinary
abilities. He was engaged in mercantile life, but at the age of twenty-
seven turned his attention to the law, for which he found himself better
adapted, and was for several years District Attorney. Later in life he

was interested in several banking institutions; was president of a bank at
Jackson, Miss., at the time of his death,—a position which he filled with
great credit to himself. He was a professing Christian for many years
before his death,—a member of the Episcopal Church.
73. Phebe Greenleaf (Chart VIII.), b. Aug. 15, 1S06, youngest
child of David. Married Franklin Beaumont, a druggist of Natchez.
Phebe inherited very much of her father's happy disposition, and, besides,
possessed in a great degree those virtues which make the Christian
humble, yet so eminent and lovely. She was for many years a suffering
invalid; but during it all she was ever the same cheerful, contented, and
happy Christian. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church (O. S.),
in which her husband had been a ruling elder for many years. The
family emigrated to Texas in 1848, and settled on the San Antonio River,
near Goliad, where she died Oct. 20, 1851.
58. Israel7 Greenleaf (Chart VII.), b. Jan. 25, 1765, son of Israel8
and Prudence (Whitcomb). Served in the United States Army, after which
he purchased 750 acres of land near the Unadilla River, in Chenango
County, N. Y., which he afterwards sold to his father, and removed to
Pennsylvania and purchased land near Wellsburg, where he went into the
millwright business. He was a powerful man, six feet two inches high,
broad shoulders, full chest, high forehead, large blue eyes, full, plump,
handsome face, commanding appearance and lofty bearing. In powers
of endurance he yielded to none, save " Old General Putnam." As an
example of his great strength, it was said of him he would go into the
Laurel Mountain alone, carry all his tools and provisions, and in fourteen
or fifteen days raise the stones out of the quarry, and complete them for
the mill or grinding. (See Military Service.)
59. Levi7 Greenleaf (Chart VII.), b. Feb. 19, 1767, son of Israel5
and Prudence (Whitcomb). Was the first settler within the limits of In¬
dustry, Maine, as the town was afterwards incorporated. Removing from
Bolton, Mass., he, with a considerable colony from Dunstable, N. H.,
and other places in that vicinity, took up land in 1787, his lot being num¬
bered sixty-one. The farm, cleared by him, was in that part of the town
set off" to New Sharon in 1852, and is now known as the " Daniel Collins"
farm. In 1803 he sold his farm, and removed to the south part of In¬
dustry. Here he continued to reside until his death, with the exception
of about two years, when he resided in New Portland, Me.
Mr. Greenleaf was a man of character, energy, and of more than
ordinary ability. He was a deacon of the Congregational Church in
New Sharon, and was a member of the Board of Selectmen in Industry,
in 1804. In person he was about the medium height, rather spare,
and a little stooping, light complexion, and rather sandy hair. He was
a very strong man for one of his size, and in his younger days an ex¬
pert wrestler, frequently throwing opponents much heavier that himself.

PERSONAL HISTORY.
60. Tilly7 Greenleaf, born March 25, 1770, son of Israel0 (Chart
VII.) and Prudence (Whitcomb), was a pioneer, and many of his children
have been also. He bought a tract of land in Augusta, Oneida County,
N. Y., in 1790, and made himself a home. In 1831 he moved to the
Western Reserve, Ohio, and many of his children followed him there,
some of whom now live in Charlestown, Edinburgh, and Ravenna, Ohio.
(See Military Service.)
62. Daniel7 Greenleaf (Chart VII.), b. Jan. 1, 1786, son of Israel6
and Ursula (Woods). Was employed as a teacher near Natchez, in Missis¬
sippi. He was in height six feet two inches, broad shoulders, rather spare,
walked slightly stooping; very long arms, his fingers when extended
touching the kneejoint; head medium size, high forehead, large blue eyes,
Roman nose, small mouth.
64. Stephen7 Greenleaf (Chart VII.), b. Sept. 12, 1790, son of
Israel6 and Ursula Woods. Was a merchant, and in person was about
five feet eight inches in height, fair complexion, gray eyes, light hair
originally, high forehead, somewhat bald.
Among the papers of the Rev. Jonathan Greenleaf, D.D., are many
interesting letters from Mr. Greenleaf, who gave him much valuable in¬
formation for his " Genealogy of the Greenleaf Family." Several manu¬
script copies of a genealogy which he compiled in 1838, and which bore
this quaint inscription, "A record of Stephen Greenleaf, the first Green¬
leaf of the male line born in North America, together with a record of his
posterity by families to the present time, Dec. 20, 1838, by Stephen
Greenleaf, son of Israel," had been given by him to various members of
the family. Rev. Jonathan Greenleaf was favored among others. A
pleasant feature of these manuscript copies were occasional jottings from
his pen, written on the back of a page of family record, a few of which are
as follows :—
What will be said of this old coon when he is gone? I have every confidence that
my children will do ample justice, but I wish to be a little in advance, so here it comes
without alloy:—
The tree has decayed, the leaf is now dry,
But the spirit has fled to regions on high.
And now, loving friends, why sorrow and sigh?
Dry up all your tears, for you, by and by,
Will meet with your friends in the regions of light;
Take the straight, narrow way, and strive to do right.
I am one of twenty-two;
My name grows on a tree.
I walk erect like you;
Please tell my name to me.
Answer: My father has 22 children. Name, Greenleaf.
Of twenty-two I am i
Likewise the third of 8
The third of eight combined with 1
Most strange to tell produces 8.
Explanation: My father had 22 children, my mother S, and I was the third of my
mother; then self and wife also had 8 children.
PERSONAL HISTORY.
Like the Israelite, " he pitched his tents in many places." From
New York he moved to Cincinnati, from there to Indiana, thence to St.
Louis, and finally to Bloomfield, Davis County, Iowa.
84. Gardner0 Greenleaf (Chart VIII.), b. Oct. 27, 1S23, son of
Joshua8 and Betsey (Marsh). He attended the academy at Farmington,
Me., as opportunity offered, and labored zealously to acquire an education.
After his marriage he lived in Vassalboro and Anson, Me., and in 1855
moved to Stark, where he lived until his death. He was a successful
farmer, and much respected by his townsmen. He was a member of the
Board of Selectmen in 1871.
97. Orick Herman9 Greenleaf (Chart IX.), b. July 18, 1823, son
of William8 and Almira (Sanford). The early days of Mr. Greenleaf
were characterized by the usual hardships attending the growth of young
men of that period.
The chances for education were very meager and yet while educa¬
tional advantages in the form of schools were not at all to be compared
with those of the present days, he contrived to pick up a fund of general
information by the methods adopted by all men in those days, namely by
what reading he could get hold of and by keeping his eyes open to what
was going on in the world.
The times were such that every young man had to begin the carving
of his fortune at a very early age and this was eminently true of him.
He went from his home in Nunda, N. Y., early in life to Seneca
Falls, N. Y., to learn the trade of tanner and currier and it was because
of his efficiency in the latter branch of business that he was induced in
1845 to make his home at Springfield, Mass.
It would seem like an exaggeration for any one to-day to think of
starting in life and accumulating money out of the moderate earnings of
those days; nevertheless, such was the case with Mr. Greenleaf.
No matter how small the compensation, he contrived to save some¬
thing out of the same and in 1847 he left the business of tanner and cur¬
rier and with what he could save out of a salary as superintendent, (that
would not pay house rent in these days), he began business in the buying
and selling of paper stock, organizing the firm of Greenleaf & Taylor,
soon after adding the buying and selling of paper to the business.
The firm of Greenleaf & Taylor soon became very well known among
paper manufacturers but Mr Greenleaf did not dream of becoming a man¬
ufacturer until one day David Carson, of Dalton, said to him, " Some day
you will be making paper." It was not long before, acting upon the
above suggestion and studying into the processes of manufacturing, he
found a large, pure spring of water in Huntington, Mass., and there de¬
cided to build a mill.
The firm of Greenleaf & Taylor then became changed and an incor¬
porated company, under the name of Greenleaf & Taylor Manfg. Co.,
was organized and the mill built in Huntington commenced in 1853, the
manufacture of news and book papers, while the paper and stock business
was continued in the warehouse in Springfield.
I IO
PERSONAL HISTORY.
Shortly after this, however, the mill at Huntington was changed to
a fine writing paper mill and in 1865, Mr. Greenleaf bought out a con¬
trolling interest of Mr. Stephen Holman in the Hoi joke Paper Co., and
in 1868, the name of the Greenleaf & Taylor Manufacturing Co. was
changed to the name of the Massasoit Manufacturing. Co.
The Holyoke Paper Company has been managed with great success
from that time to this by Mr. Greenleaf. Some of the papers which he
commenced manufacturing were of such merit as to receive a gold medal
at the Paris Exposition in 1878.
In 1884, the nucleus of Forest Park in Springfield was established by
Mr. Greenleaf, who gave seventy acres to the city and it is one of the
greatest pleasures of his life at the present time to see the thousands of
people enjoying themselves among the delightful ravines and shady nooks
and retreats of that exceedingly lovely location. Many people wanted him
to name it " Greenleaf Park" but he steadfastly refused. His idea was
that his name would be properly preserved in calling it Forest Park.
Mr. Greenleaf, when he first came to Springfield, at once presented
his letter and joined the First Baptist Church of that city and has been a
member of the same for fifty years.
It has always been his idea that the best method for prosperous men
to adopt in the disposal of their property by way of benevolence was to
carefully study the direction in which the same was to be used and then
to give it in such sums as would do the most good. This has always been
his method. He has never been a sentimental giver, but has been ex¬
ceedingly generous in giving along the lines that his judgment indicated
was the wisest.
He has been a very earnest supporter of educational institutions, not¬
ably the Boys' School at Mt. Hermon, the Shaw University, of Raleigh,
N. C. (in both of which he is a Trustee), the Worcester Academy and the
Suffield, Conn. Institute; while the Springfield City Library, the Home
for the Friendless, as well as the Home for Aged Women, have been gen¬
erously helped by him.
Benevolence is a leading characteristic of the life of Mr. Greenleaf.
He has been more than generous for good and worthy objects, and no one
in suffering or need ever went to him in vain. His gifts to the Insti¬
tutions of Springfield and that which laid the foundation of the most
beautiful park, so far as natural resources are concerned, that there is in
this country,—his honorable dealings with all men, his virtuous life and
pleasing ways of modesty and unselfishness, have endeared him to the
citizens of Springfield and given him a warm place in the hearts of all
whose privilege it has been to meet him.
99. Hon. William Henry'' Greenleaf (Chart IX.), b. Dec. 7, 1834,
son of William8 and Almira (Sanford). Removed to Minnesota in 1858,
and settled in Litchfield, Meeker County, where he now resides. He is
engaged in the lumber business, and is President of the "Greenleaf
Lumber Company," manufacturers of sashes, doors, blinds, laths, and
shingles. Mr. Greenleaf filled the office of County Surveyor seven terms;

Treasurer of the " Greenleaf Lumber Company."
60. Elizabeth. Greenleaf (Chart IX.), b. March 3, 1802, daughter
of Tilly and Polly (SpofFord). Was crippled in her right hand when six
months old by creeping into the fire after a "tin funnel." Her parents,
believing she could never learn to do housework, spinning, etc., and
certainly would never marry, gave her a fair common school education;
and she, by her own efforts in assisting in paying the expense, attended
several terms at the high school, and became a noted teacher. After the
death of her mother, in 1827, she went to Western New York, teaching in
Eden, Erie County, several years, continuing to teach after her marriage
in her own house until 1850, when she moved onto a large dairy farm,
—supposing her teaching days were over; but the district directors desired
her services, and she taught a term, afterwards taking a few select pupils
at home.
In 1857 she removed to Wisconsin, with her husband, Mr. George
Wilcox, and they were among the first settlers of Dead Lake Prairie,
in the town of Waterville, Pepin County. The marriage of their
daughter, Mary E., was the third that took place in that town, Oct. 13,
1859. Here she received and taught a few pupils in her own home, and
then taught in the district school where she lived, and later in several
different towns, until the death of her husband, in 1869. She had a rare
faculty of interesting her pupils. Ministers, doctors, and laAvyers had
been her pupils. She was a woman of great industry, and became a
model housekeeper and an accomplished woman in all things necessary
to a useful and valuable life.
Her daughter, Mary E., married Henry M. Miles. The young couple
set up housekeeping in the village of Arkansaw in the town of Waterville,
formerly known as Frankfort, a small manufacturing village. Mrs. Miles
taught the first school in Arkansaw, Wis.; established the first Sunday
school, and aided in building the first church in that section of the
country. Although beginning as pioneers in an unbroken wilderness,
they courageously persevered until the present time; and it has become
one of the richest farming communities in the county.
60. Lucinda Greenleaf (Chart IX.), b. June 12, 1803, at Au¬
gusta, Oneida County, N. Y., daughter of Tilly and Polly (Spofford).
She married Hiram Hitchcock, of the same county and state, the son of
Amos, who was born in Oxford, New Haven County, Conn., Aug. 29,
1771, and descended from Matthias and Elizabeth Hitchcock, of Hull,
England, who was born in 1610, and emigrated to New Haven, Conn., in
1635. Amos Hitchcock, the father of Hiram, was the son of Samuel
born in West Haven, in 1722, the son of Samuel born in East Haven,

Of the seven children of Lucinda and Hiram, James L., born at
Oriskany Falls, N. Y., is a hardware merchant in Cass City, Mich., where
he settled Sept. 6, 1872. He is an enterprising and prominent man, much
interested in public affairs, and influential among his fellow-citizens. He
was the pioneer in the hardware business of Tuscola County, his shop
being located in a dense forest abounding in bears, deer, wolves, and other
wild animals. In 1859 he purchased his first bill of merchandise, and
conveyed it to his log cabin, which he had built upon a 120-acre lot of
land that he purchased of the Government in 1858. This primative man¬
sion and store was temporarily covered with sheet iron, afterwards made
into camp kettles, and sold to the Indians. He built the first frame house
and barn for miles around, and manufactured tinware and other goods
such as Indians and the first white settlers required. His wife taught
school, walking daily two miles to and from school. On March 1, 1864,
Mr. Hitchcock removed with his family to Wajamega, Mich., erected a
store and residence, and while he worked at his trade his wife acted as his
clerk. After a residence there of nearly eight years he removed to Cass
City, where he is engaged in building, farming, and merchandise. He has
held the office of Justice of the Peace, Road Commissioner, School In¬
spector, and Postmaster in Dayton's township; also Treasurer of Cass
City and Councilman for many years.
60. Emily Greenleaf (Chart IX.), b. Oct. 12, 1811, daughter of
Tilly Greenleaf. Married Saxton A. Curtiss. He was from Massachu¬
setts. She was living in Charlestown, Ohio, whither her father and mother
had removed from Oneida County, N. Y. They settled on a farm in
Charlestown, which after his death, Feb. 18, 1868, remained in the hands
of his widow until her death, in 1892, when it passed to her youngest
daughter, Artelissa, who not long after removed to Southeastern Kansas,
returning later to Ohio. Mrs. Emily Curtiss spent the last seven years of
her life with her daughter Eliza. Her old age was a vigorous and healthy
one. She celebrated her eightieth birthday by riding horseback. She
was extremely youthful in manner and appearance. Her life was marked
by benevolence, and was active in social and church work.
116. Robert Stephen9 Greenleaf (Chart X.), b. Sept. 3, 1848, son
of Eugene La Baum8 and Martha Louise (Barr). Was born in St. Louis,
Mo., and received his education in the schools of that city. Feb. 26,
1864, when but little over fifteen years of age, he enlisted in Company D,
Tenth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and served until the close of the war;
was with Sherman in Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, on " the March
to the Sea," and the campaigns in Carolina. At the close of the war he
completed his education at Blackburn University, Carlinville, 111.; took
up the profession of civil engineering, which he has followed successfully.
In the fall of 1882 he moved to Portland, Ore., and is now County Sur-

veyor of Multnomah County. He is much interested in military matters,
and is Captain of Battery A, Light Artillery, Oregon National Guards.
He has accumulated considerable property, and has a comfortable home,
which has been his residence for eleven years. (See Military Service.)
129. Major Stephen7 Greenleaf (Chart XII.), b. Jan. 31, 1759,
son of Stephen5 and Eunice (Fairbanks). Was by trade a carpenter and
wheelwright. When he was twelve years of age his father removed to
Brattleboro, Vt., where he continued to reside until his death, which took
place March 5, 1850, at the advanced age of ninety-one years.
As a workman and a citizen, no fairer name is on the list of Brattle-
boro's residents. As a carpenter and wheelwright, much has been said in
commendation. Many of the first buildings in Brattleboro were erected
by his hands. In the study of mathematics, grammar, etc., he was
obliged to search for knowledge from such books as he could obtain, hav¬
ing no other educational advantages, and few books worth mentioning.
It is said of him by his daughter, Mrs. Ellis, that her "father educated
himself, long winter evenings, by light from the kitchen fireplace. To
get full advantage of the light he extended himself horizontally upon the
floor," where he worked upon mathematical problems, practiced penman¬
ship, and thus laid the foundation of such a character for ability and
virtue as won the well-deserved respect, love, and confidence of three
generations. His superior native resources were concealed under a modest,
unassuming exterior, so faithfully shown in a painting which, to the
honor of Brattleboro, now hangs in the Townhall.
In the year 1799 he was elected Town Clerk of Brattleboro, and was
re-elected to the office for forty-five years in succession, declining it but a
few years previous to his death. His penmanship in the old town books,
for its uniformity and perfection, is the admiration of every one who has
examined it. Each letter and word is made in full, giving so perfect ex¬
actness no one can mistake it. In 1834 he wrote several long, highly
interesting letters to his friends, that were published in the Pkcenix,
respecting the past and present of Brattleboro, and he also furnished that
brief though able sketch of this town in " Thompson's Historical Gazet¬
teer of Vermont," published in 1846.
Mr. Greenleaf was a man of mild, benevolent, and charitable dispo¬
sition; he was amiable and bland in his manners; courteous and accom¬
modating to all; gentle and agreeable in his family; a pleasant neighbor,
and an honest and upright man. In the social circle and the public
gathering he was always ready with pleasantry and wit to contribute his
full share of innocent amusement and pleasure. He was a true Christian,
showing the strength and purity of his faith by his good works. (See

1821, son of Major Thomas S.8 and Lydia (Miller). Lived in Brattle-
boro, Vt., until September, 1840, and then removed to Columbus, Adams
County, Illinois, and was engaged in the manufacture of carriages and
wagons; remaining there until 1850, when he moved to Quincy, 111., and
started in the machine business, manufacturing steam engines, mill
machinery, house castings, general repairing, etc. He continued in this
business over thirty years, doing a thriving and prosperous business, and
gained an honorable reputation. He had most of the steamboat repair¬
ing to do, also a large amount of railroad work; rebuilt several locomo¬
tives for different roads running into Quincy, and furnished the greater
portion of the engines and machinery for the Flouring Mills; also other
manufacturing work in the city and through the growing Western coun¬
try. He has worked some as an inventor, making tools and machinery
of different kinds that have proved more or less valuable. From 1873 the
business was conducted under the name of "Greenleaf Manufacturing
Company," manufacturing various patented articles for outside parties.
In 1880 he sold out and retired from the business; but the shop was run
under the same name for a number of years. He is still making models,
and assisting others getting out new inventions.
143. Jeremiah.8 Greenleaf (Chart XIII.), b. Dec. 7, 1791, son of
Daniel7 and Huldah (Hopkins). Was the author of "Greenleaf's Gram¬

instruction in this special branch of education. He was also the author
of" Greenleafs Gazetteer" and " Greenleaf's Atlas," both excellent works
of their kind, and highly esteemed at the time they appeared. He married
Elvira E., daughter of Simon Stevens, M.D., of Guilford, Vt. "A true
and noble woman, of no small degree of culture."
In his letter to Rev. Jonathan Greenleaf, dated Guilford, Vt., Oct. 18,
1847, in referring to the Greenleaf family as tall, and that they must have
sprung from a " race of giants," he says : " My grandfather was an Ajax
in strength, and my father and several of his brothers were the same,
being from six feet to six feet four inches in height. I am only six feet
high, and weigh only about two hundred and twenty-five pounds.
" Could I in stature reach the pole,
Or grasp the ocean in my span,
I must be measured by my soul;
The mind's the standard of the man."

months, and during one season, so as to add as much as possible to his
funds, worked in a country brickyard. At the age of twenty-three he
made a six months' sea voyage in the whaling vessel "Lewis Bruce,"'
serving before the mast as a common sailor.
On the 24th of June, 1852, shortly after his return from sea, he
married, and in the month of September following removed to Shelburne
Falls, Mass., where he obtained employment as a day laborer at the bench
in a large cutlery establishment. A few months after engaging in this
work he found a position in the office of a neighboring manufactory, and in
a short time became manager of its growing business, and subsequently a
member of the firm of Miller & Greenleaf. On the nth of March, 1856,
he was commissioned by the Governor of Massachusetts a Justice of the
Peace, and was one of the youngest magistrates in the State not a member
of the legal profession.
In 1859 he became member of the firm of Linus Yale, Jr., & Co., in
Philadelphia, and went to that city to live, remaining in business there
until 1861, when he returned to Shelburne Falls and organized the Yale
& Greenleaf Lock Co., of which he became business manager.
His service in the State militia and that in the Civil War, in which
he distinguished himself, will be found in its appropriate place among the
"Records of Military Service." Soon after the close of the war he took
charge of the extensive salt works on Petite Anse Isle, St. Mary's Parish,
Louisiana. In June, 1867, he removed to Rochester, N. Y., and the 1st of
July following the firm of Sargent & Greenleaf, of which he is the junior
member, was organized. The firm of Sargent & Greenleaf manufacture,
under patents held by them, magnetic, automatic, chronometer, and other
burglar locks, combination safe locks, padlocks, drawer, trunk, house,
chest, store, door, and other locks, night latches, etc.; and so successful
has the firm been, that to-day their locks of every description have made
their way to every part of the civilized world.
Although he did not seek the honor, in the fall of 1S82 the Democratic
Congressional Convention for the Thirtieth District, at Rochester,
nominated Colonel Greenleaf for Congress by acclamation, and he was
elected to the Forty-eighth Congress as a Democrat, receiving 18,042 votes
against 12,038; and in 1S90 was re-elected to the Fifty-second Congress.
He is at present a member of the Board of Trustees of the Rochester
Savings Bank, of the Rochester Park Commission, of the St. Lawrence
University at Canton, N. Y., and of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at
Bath, N. Y.

community where she had resided for the past forty years,—in and near
Paris, 111., with her children,—being generally known by the affectionate
name of " Grandma Greenleaf." Mrs. Greenleaf was a stanch member of
the Baptist Church, and active in its duties until deterred by the feeble¬

PERSONAL HISTORY.

He removed with his parents to Winooski, Vt., in 1848, and was educated
in the common schools and at the Williston Academy.
He enlisted as private in Co. L of the First Vermont Cavalry, on
August 11, 1862, and served with distinction throughout the Civil War.
Having a fondness for the military, he joined the Vermont militia, and
served successively as captain, major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel of
his regiment. He was elected by the Legislature to the office of Briga¬
dier General, December 1, 18S6. On his return to Vermont from the war
he engaged in business as a pharmacist, and followed it successfully for
nearly twenty years. In 1882 he was appointed Deputy Collector of Cus¬
toms for the district of Vermont, which position he still occupies.
General Greenleaf joined the Masonic fraternity in 1865, and a few
years later was made Master of Webster Lodge, No. 61, which position
he held for nine years by successive elections. He was also a member of
the Grand Lodge of Vermont for a period of twelve years. (See Military
Service.)
161. Luther Leland.8 Greenleaf (Chart XIV.), b. Feb. 7, 1821,
son of James7 and Sarah (Bullock). Was for several years in business at
Boston, as one of the firm of Fairbanks, Brown & Co., the selling agents
of the Fairbanks Scales. In 1859 Mr. Greenleaf removed to Chicago, 111.,
in the interests of the Fairbanks Scale Co., residing at Evanston, a suburb
of Chicago, noted as a charming residential place. Mr. GreenleaPs liter¬
ary tastes led him to gather, in a long series of years, a library of choice
and valuable books. At the time of his taking up his abode in Evanston
the Northwestern University was making its first beginnings in the col¬
lection of a library. In 1865 Mr. Lunt established the Orrington Lunt
Library Fund; in 1869 Mr. Greenleaf gave from his collection a large
number of books, which are known as the " Greenleaf Library"; in 1872
the library of the late Prof. Henry S. Noyes was purchased and added to
the library; in 1S7S Messrs. Deering and Gage presented a portion of the
library of the late Oliver A. Willard. Books have been added every year
by purchase, minor gifts have been made, the library has become a de¬
pository of Government publications, and it now contains some 40,000
volumes and over 10,000 pamphlets, which constitute it one of the finest,
if not the finest, college library in the West. The Greenleaf Library com¬
prises some 11,000 volumes and 9,000 pamphlets, which he purchased from
the heirs of the late Hon. Johann Schulze, member of the Prussian
Ministry of Public Instruction, and a specialist in classical philology. It
is rich in the department of classical philology. There are numerous
editions of the more prominent writers (of Horace, for example, there are
over thirty), and the best editions of the later and less-known writers.
Some incunabula are found here, and the modern languages are also well
represented. As a citizen of Evanston and Chicago, Mr. Greenleaf was
prominent in business and philanthropic enterprises. He was a man of
large heart and of a noble nature, and did much for the best interests of
the communities in which he lived. In the days of his prosperity he lived
for the good of his fellow-man ; but the days of adversity came, and in the

and ill health followed. In 1875 he retired from business; broken in
estate and health he removed to Beloit, Wisconsin, where he died November
23, 1884.
171. John Dickinson8 Greenleaf (Chart XIV.), b. Dec. 8, 1803,
son of Dr. Christopher7 and Tabitha (Dickinson). When five years of age
his father removed to the town of Ellisburgh, N. Y., a short distance south
of the village of Smithville, where he remained ten years of his early life,
attending the village school, and acquiring the foundation of an educa¬
tion and business acquaintance that influenced and successfully directed
his after life. When only fifteen years of age he purchased of an uncle,
Stephen Woodard, five acres of cleared land, which was located three
miles south of Log Mills, now La Fargeville. Here he built a small but
comfortable log house, and to it he removed his father's family. Here
they remained for two years, when they took up their residence in the
little settlement of Log Mills.
In the early part of the year 1823 Mr. Greenleaf removed to Clayton
(then French Creek), and for a short time was a clerk in the store of
Wm. H. Angel, who also had but recently removed from Smithville.
Angel soon after formed a partnership with one Stephen Wetherby,
which was in time changed to Smith & Angel, and then to Smith &
Merrick, who for many years conducted vast business interests in the raft¬
ing of staves, pine, and oak timber down the river St. Lawrence to
Quebec. Mr. Greenleaf continued in the employ of the firm for many
years, in several capacities. In the year 1833 he was placed in command
of the steamboat "Black Hawk," running from Ogdensburg to Kingston.
This was the first steamboat built on the St. Lawrence River. She made
her trips in two days, going up one day and coming back the next. For
nine summers Mr. Greenleaf had the entire management of Messrs. Smith
& Merrick's immense lumber interests at Quebec, and possessed their
fullest confidence and regard, which was never misplaced or changed for
the twenty years that he was in their employ. He then returned to his
home in La Fargeville, where he remained till the spring of 1857, when he
removed to Seneca, Ontario County, N. Y., and engaged in the occupation
of farming.
Mr. Greenleaf, now in his ninety-fourth year, is hale and vigorous,
and resides with his youngest daughter at Hall's Corner, Ontario County,
New York.
173. Louis Christopher9 Greenleaf (Chart XV.), b. Nov. 23,
1840, in La Fargeville, N. Y., son of John Dickinson8 and Julia (Truesdell).
Removed to Ontario County, and in i860 located in Watertown, N. Y.,
where he was engaged in the county clerk's office for one year, when he
enlisted, and was with the first company that left Watertown for the war.
He was mustered out on expiration of his term of service, and entered the
provost-marshal's office in the city of Watertown, where he remained until
the close of the war, after which he found employment in the Jefferson

County National Bank as discount clerk for two years, when he entered
the Merchants Bank as teller and assistant cashier, which position he
ably filled for four years. In March, 1S72, in company with Charles W.
Sloat, under the firm name of Sloat & Greenleaf, he engaged in the
lumber business, which he continued for twenty-one years.
The business of the firm became so extensive that in 1893 the eft-
partnership became incorporated under the name of " The Sloat & Green-
leaf Lumber Company," of which Mr. Greenleaf is its secretary and
treasurer. He has always been prominently identified with the interests
of the city of Watertown. He was the first City Treasurer, which office he
held two years; was County Treasurer six years, Supervisor of the Second
Ward several years, and is now a member of the Board of Education. For
many years he was an active member of the Fire Department. He is an
enthusiastic member of the Masonic Order, and has held the honors of his
Lodge, Chapter, and Commandery, besides receiving for three successive
years the appointment of District Deputy Grand Master. He is a thirty-
second degree Mason of the Scottish Rite Bodies, and at the present time
is commander of Joe Spratt Post, No. 323, Grand Army of the Republic.
Mr. Greenleaf is a member of the State Street Methodist Episcopal
Church and its large Sunday school, of which he is the superintendent.
He has been active in the work of the Young Men's Christian Association,
and for many years its president, and is now one of the trustees. (See
Military Service.)
186. Dr. David7 Greenleaf (Chart XVI.), b. June 19, 1765, son
of David6 and Mary (Johnson). Resided in Hartford, where he carried on
the business of gold and silver smith for many years, and accumulated
a large property, owning many pieces of real estate in that city, as
appears from the property which he offered for sale between 1799 and
1828. He built some of the finest buildings in the city of that time, one
of which is now standing on the corner of Main and Kingsley Streets
(then Lee Street), in the very center of the city; here he had his store.
In 1806 he was a member of the Common Council. Retiring from
the business of jewelry about 1811, he became a dentist. In the Comiec-
ticut Courant, Oct. 29, 1827, he advertises himself as having practiced
dentistry sixteen years. (See Military Service.)
190. Dr. Charles8 Greenleaf (Chart XVI.), b. June 2/ 1788, son
of Dr. David7 and Nancy (Jones). Was a well-known dentist, and practiced
his profession in Hartford, Conn. His office was on Exchange Corner.
He had a reputation second to none, for good work, in all parts of
the State. We find in the Hartford Courant of Nov. 28, 1820, an ad¬
vertisement appointing H. Seymour & Co. his agents for disposing of
gold leaf manufactured by him. Also, Sept. 27, 1831, notice of removal
from Catlin's Corner (cor. Main and Asylum Streets) to Exchange
Building. This building, or office, was used by his son, Dr. James M.
Greenleaf, as a place of business until his death, in 1877. Dr. David

Greenleaf, who died in Alameda, Cal., Sept. 6, 1893, and his brother, Dr.
James M., were at one time in company, under the firm name of J. M. &
D. Greenleaf.
193. Dr. Charles9 Greenleaf, Jr. (Chart XVI), b. Sept. 1, 1809,
son of Dr. Charless and Electa (Toocker). Was for many years a dentist
in Hartford and in Essex, Conn. In 1847 he removed to Farmington, 111.;
afterwards he removed to Peoria, 111., having a large practice. He was
United States Inspector during and after the war. Removing back to
Farmington, he spent his last years retired from active business. He
was well and favorably known in Farmington and Peoria, 111., as a quiet,
pleasant, and companionable gentleman.
195. Dr. James Monroe9 Greenleaf (Chart XVI.), b. April 26,
1819, son of Dr. Charles8 and Electa (Toocker). Was a leading dentist in
Hartford for many years, and as a gentleman was universally respected.
At an early age he engaged in business with his father, who was a noted
and successful dentist in his day. Dr. Greenleafs office had been one of
the heirlooms of the city. His life was full of generosity and kindness,
and his presence always assured one of help and sympathy. Few men
were more kindly disposed toward people generally. He was a model of
courtesy and manliness. (See Military Service.)
196. Dr. David.9 Greenleaf (Chart XVI.), b. Jan. 16, 1827, son of
Dr. Charles8 and Electa (Toocker). Removed West about 1853, and settled
in Peoria, 111., where he practiced his profession, a dentist, for some years.
He removed from there to Galesburg, and engaged in the drug trade. He
was elected Mayor of that city by the Democrats. In 1889-90 he removed
with his family to Alameda, near San Francisco, Cal.
191. Judge David8 Greenleaf (Chart XVI.), b. May 6, 1803,
son of Dr. David7 and Nancy (Jones). Received a fair education in early
youth, and at the age of seventeen engaged in mercantile employment at
Boston, in which he remained for three years. He then removed to
Hartford, Conn., living there until April 6, 1835, when he moved West,
arriving in Quincy, 111., May, 1836. In June following he entered land in
St. Mary's township, Hancock County, and followed farming until April,
1843, when he moved to Chili township. At Chili he bought a piece of
land at the first land sale held there.
The tavern at Carthage, 111., where he "put up," was a primitive
" log house." It was then kept by a man named Williams. A plank in
the floor of the old hotel has been taken up from the exact spot in the
room where the body of Joseph Smith, the Mormon apostle, lay the night
after he was killed, and was manufactured into canes, and sent to Salt
Lake City to be sold to the Mormons.
In April, 1847, he removed to Carthage, 111., where he resided until
his death, in 1890, with the exception of about three years in Adams
County. His first employment in Carthage was in the dry goods business

121
for some years, ultimately engaging in the drug trade, which business he
followed until about 1S80, when he retired from business. During his
long residence in this county, Judge Greenleai's official ability and integ¬
rity have been recognized in his election to numerous township and
county offices of trust and responsibility. He held the office of Justice of
the Peace in St. Mary's and Chili townships while living there, and in
1843 was elected Probate County Judge, holding the office for two terms.
It was during this period that he saw much of the peculiarities of Mor¬
mon life and character, and of which he has given many interesting
incidents. He was postmaster of this city (Carthage, 111.), six years in
the administration of Van Buren, Harrison, and Tyler. In his church
relations he was an Episcopalian, to which church he was strongly at¬
tached—From Carthage Republican, Carthage, 111., April 9, 1890.
The predominating characteristic of Judge Greenleaf was the quiet¬
ness of his manners. He was a man who strictly attended to his own
business, and left his neighbors to attend to theirs; hence he made but
few enemies, and the friends he won he retained. No citizen in his
county was more honored and respected than the Judge.
203. Daniel Judson10 Greenleaf (Chart XVII.), b. Feb. 13,
1848, son of John Harrison9 and Elimira D. (Mondone) Greenleaf. Is a
dealer in musical instruments at Port Jervis, N. Y. He married Hannah
Mary, daughter of Benjamin S. and Martha M. Healy. Mrs. Healy was
born in the town of Cohocton, Steuben County, New York, Dec. 18, 1832.
Her mother, Mary Bronson Hess, was born in Cohocton, Oct. 21, 1813,
being the first white child born in the town. Her maternal grandfather,
John Hess, was born in Mohawk, Herkimer County, Jan. 7, 1801. His
grandmother was killed, Avhile feeding the pigs, by an Indian, who had
hidden in the pen. Mr. Hess was a lineal descendant of the Hesses of
Hesse Castle.
Benjamin Spaulding Healy, Mrs. Greenleafs father, was born in the
town of Dansville, Steuben County, N. Y., April 18, 1825. Her paternal
grandfather, Joshua Healy, was born in Shoreham, Vermont, June 16, 1791.
Both he and his wife, Lucy (Wilson), who was born in Shoreham, Nov.
11, 1793, were noted for their Puritan ancestry of good New England stock.
Their wedding trip consisted of a ride in an ox cart, containing all their
earthly effects, household utensils, etc., from their Vermont home to
Steuben County, where, with the help of the Indians, a log cabin was
erected and land cleared for a nucleus to the present farm. One of the best
orchards in that section is that of the old homestead, the seeds of which
were carried by Mr. Healy in his vest pocket from Vermont; and the first
apples eaten by him or his family in their new home grew upon the trees
raised from those seeds.
205. Daniel Toocker8 Greenleaf (Chart XVII.), b. Feb. 11,
1809, near Mt. Hope, Orange County, N. Y., son of John7 and Martha
(Toocker). Removed to Seneca County in 1831, and settled at Canoga.
He owned one of the finest farms on the shores of CayugaLake. Here he

married Rebecca, daughter of Rulif Peterson, one of the earlier settlers of
Canoga. Two years after their marriage thej both united with the
Presbyterian Church; to the close of their life they remained earnest
supporters of its cause, and he was for many years a ruling elder in the
church. In Mrs. Greenleaf's death, on Sept. i, 1887, was severed a wedded
life which had extended nearly fifty-six years. She was the only one of
the numerous family who remained and resided on any portion of her
father's land in the State. This farm was at the Canoga Ferry landing,
and was Government land taken up by her father in 1805. Here she was
born and spent the greater part of her life. She had a very retentive
memory, and was good authority for local history of the village and
surroundings. She died about a mile from where she was born, south end
of Canoga Village, where her father built when he retired from farming,
and occupied until he died, in 1850. Her son, Albert R. Greenleaf, is the
third generation (maternal) who has occupied these premises, he moving
there in 1856. The farm with village residence all connect; the residence
is a half mile back from the lake.
For more than thirty years Mr. Greenleaf was engaged in the fire
insurance business, having been a pioneer agent. Few rural families
between Ovid and Wayne County line but had at some time business
associations with him, and admired him for his promptness, uprightness,
and integrity. He combined a courtly manner with perfect frankness. He
had the hardy virtues of his Huguenot and New England ancestors, and
was earnest and industrious. His ability and enterprise enabled him to
accumulate a competency, while his public spirit and kindness of heart won
him the respect and confidence of all who knew him. His memory will
be pleasant to the many who, by his active life, were permitted to know
him and call him friend and counsellor. During a long life of more than
fourscore the good man kept his faith, and went to his reward trusting
and ready.
207. Dr. William Alva8 Greenleaf (Chart XVII.), b. Jan. 5,
1825, son of John7 and Martha (Toocker). Was graduated February, 1847,
at the Botanical Medical College in Ohio, and practiced in his profession at
South Middletown, Orange Co., N. Y. At the breaking out of the War
of the Rebellion he entered the service as acting assistant surgeon, United
States Army, during which he was so injured as to partially cripple him
for life. Although he had been at times a great sufferer and a chronic
invalid, he courageously attended to the duties of his profession and
the conducting of a drug store at Jersey City Heights, N. J., until his
death, on June 11, 1894. (See Military Service.)

son of Gen. William6 and Sally (Quincy). Learned the trade of a cabinet
maker and house joiner in Boston, and then settled himself in Granville,
Washington Co., N. Y. In March, 1817, he removed to Tioga Co., N. Y.,
where he died. He was a man of medium size, fair complexion, dark-
brown hair, dark eyes, and high forehead. He walked very erect. He
was a sedate man, of very uniform life, and for nearly fifty years was a
consistent member of the Baptist church.
232. John Matthew8 Greenleaf (Chart XIX.), b. May 19, 1806,
son of John Hancock7 and Polly (Norton), removed in 1813 with his father
and mother to Owego County in New York State, and resided in the
township of Richford till 1826; then removed to Owego, and in a few years
formed a partnership with a Mr. Truman in what was then called a
"general store," thus becoming one of the pioneers in that line of busi¬
ness. He continued as a merchant till 1849, when the great fire demolished
the business part of the town, and then he retired. He was identified with
all the early enterprises of the little hamlet, and spent fifty-six years of his
life in Owego.
He was a man of fine organization, clean and honest in every way,
a little too shy to be well known, but a man who had many stanch
friends, and enjoyed the confidence of everybody. His judgment of men
and things was true to a remarkable degree, and he clearly read human
nature. In his dealings with men he was just to all and charitable to the
foibles of those whom he knew.
235. Dr. John Talcott9 Greenleaf (Chart XIX.), b. Jan 26,

town of Industry, Maine, in 1801. This was set off to New Sharon in
1852, and is embraced in the well-known William Henry Manter farm. He
felled the first trees on his lot, burned his " cut down," cleared the land
and erected a log cabin, in which his oldest daughter, Eliza, was born.

After living ten years in a log house Mr. Collins built a larger and more
convenient frame house, it being one of the first in that section of the
town. He died on the homestead in New Sharon, July 31, 1851.
385. John0 Greenleaf (ChartXXIII.), b. Nov. 6, 1755, son of Joseph5
and Dorcas (Gray). Was born in Wiscasset, Maine. After his service in
the Revolutionary War he returned to Wiscasset, and married Anna Pierce
Roberts, of that town. Early in the spring of 1782 he and his brother
Ebenezer, with their wives, together with Joshua, another brother, started
for the Sandy River, in Starks. Here they each took up a farm of produc¬
tive and valuable land. Joshua located immediately opposite, on the same
river, in the town of Mercer. A few years later a younger brother, William,
also four sisters, Martha, Sally, Rachel, and Lydia, came, married, and
settled in the vicinity.
He was about five feet nine inches in height, light complexion, blue
eyes, light hair, sandy beard, and slightly freckled. He was straight built,
and retained his erect carriage till he was ninety years of age. He was
possessed of a comfortable property at the time of his death. He had
great caution, was very prudent and exact in all his dealings, but gave
liberally to the poor. His remains lie in the old family burying ground,
beneath the soil he used to till. (See Military Service.)
445. William7 Greenleaf (Chart XXIII.), b. March 17, 1792, son
of John6 and Anna Pierce (Roberts). A remarkable feature of the beau¬
tiful and picturesque coast of Maine, is its many islands and great variety
of scenery. Nestling among others near the mouth of the Kennebec, lies
one of beauty, known as " Squirrel Island " : the rocks rough and wild in
their grandeur; the calm and peaceful dunes suggest repose; living
springs abound. The charms which it presented for a pastoral life, an
ideal agricultural and sea-bound home, so possessed the mind and fancy
of "Squire" WTilliam Greenleaf, that in 1S25 he bought the island, and
moved onto it the same year with his wife and two children; one daughter
and two sons were born subsequently on the island. He was an eccentric
and somewhat peculiar man in many ways, but he was always hospitable,
and received everybody with a cordial greeting. His sons were cool and
brave, and were excellent fishermen, while his daughters possessed the
accomplishments of being familiar with literature, poetry, and song; and
they were excellent cooks withal, and could handle an oar, read Horace,
mow a field or catch a lamb on the cliffs, butcher the creature,—hanging
it to a spruce—taking of the pelt in a jiffy; they were worthy offspring of
a remarkable man. The Squire was highly cultivated, and a gentleman
of the " Old School;" very proud, and especially so of his own personal
appearance. He generally appeared in public clad in a tall beaver and a
blue broadcloth coat with brass buttons, the tail of which was slightly
clipped after the fashion of Henry Clay. Of Mr. Clay he was a great
admirer. He liked to dress as Henry Clay did. And he loved his long-
stemmed " T. D."pipe, and his cup and flask which often stood beside it.
As a true disciple of the great statesman, from a sublime sense of duty he,

I35
too, regaled his classic throat with an occasional glass of brandy, the
measurement whereof was suited to the traditions and inspirations of the
Whigs, who were in the eyes of the Squire the most respectable portion of
the then existing society. He kept a large flock of sheep and herds of
cattle, and it was known to many that the Princess Roselinda, as his good
wife was called, was skilled in the making of cheese. He was, in fact, the
King of Squirrel Island, and the famous old farmhouse, long known as the
King's Palace, was a happy resort for numerous friends and relatives for
nearly forty years. The nautical fore room; the forecastle yarns; the
chowders ; the clambakes ; the fish dinners ; its merry tenantry,—all bear
testimony to those now living who as guests were partakers of the royal
entertainments of "King William of Squirrel Island." Nor was he un¬
mindful of the needs of the intellect, for he supplied his guests with a
collection of rare old books and papers; collections from nearly every point
of the globe. He was a great reader, a fluent talker, and well informed in
politics. Religiously, the Squire was somewhat like his house,—at sea.
He believed in giving sixteen ounces for a pound, and in a yardstick thir¬
ty-six inches in length, but as between Calvinism and Arminianism, or as
between any issues, however venerable, he did not care to choose. His
eccentricity has brought to life many bright and breezy anecdotes, several
of which have been published by the Squirrel Island Squid, an enter¬
prising summer weekly issued by Park G. Dingley, of the Leiviston Jour¬
nal, from 1875 to 1893, concerning his long and happy life on the Islands.
Among his eccentricities was his method of emphasis. Of a strong mind,
and only human, there were times when strong expletives, like strong
brandy, were thought to be needed; but if he ever uttered oaths, which no
conscientious historian would ever affirm, he discharged them in Latin,
"By Jupiter," "By Venus," or "Bj Tam O'Shanter."
The Squire was bristling with little oddities and quiddities, for he was
an inveterate consumer of the weed, and invariably had a tobacco field west
of the royal palace,—square rods of precious loam now devoted to such
commonplace crops as potatoes. The island was heavily wooded, and
contained many large and very beautiful trees. Here he would often
wander, and raise his musical voice in sonorous tones in the old hymns,
" O for a thousand tongues to sing
My dear Redeemer's praise."
Or, perhaps, seated at the cooling spring near the cerjter of the
island, a spring celebrated for many years, perusing Homer, or Virgil, or
Horace, he could be heard reciting "Our Squirrel—
" There are islands in the ocean,
Where the wild and restless motion
Of the heart that beats and surges,
With its passion and its pain,
May best be stilled to quiet dreaming,
Till all pain is but a seeming,
Of a land long left behind us,
That we ne'er shall see again."

Or, when on the high cliffs at the south banks, he might be heard,
saying
"Again I linger by Squirrel's shore,
And listen to the music of the sea
For some familiar voice to speak to me
Out of the deep, sad, harmonious roar,
Whose murmuring cadences sound like a store
Of loving words,—treasures of memory,
Once breathed into the ambient air, to be
Vibrated through the ages evermore.
The infinite tides environ us; no strain
That e'er awakened human smiles or tears
Is lost; nor shall we call it back in vain.
Beside the shore, amid the eternal spheres,
Hark,—the beloved Voices once again
Rise from the waves and winds to sooth mine ears! "
His peculiarities displayed themselves at their most grotesque point not
long before his death. He was as much a believer in dreams and visions
of the night as the most orthodox Hebrew patriarch. He had an abiding
faith in the supernatural. One night he had a dream. The time and
manner of his death were clearly revealed to him, and that he should die
at Boothbay, and not at the Squirrel. He arose on the morning after this
vision, and put on his Henry Clay coat, the cloth of which had been woven
on a hand loom in the old foreroom at the Island farmhouse, brushed his
hair with great precision, and deliberately set about making preparations
to die. He went over to Captain Mac's, at Boothbay, and asked permission
to die in his house. Captain Mac, in a tremulous voice, declined, and re¬
called his guest to sublunary things by this remark, "Mr. Greenleaf, take
a little something to drink; it will steady your nerves." He invariably
drank his brandy in three-fingered drinks ; and so, steadying his nerves, he
made arrangements to die at another house in Boothbay. He then went
to si Boothbay coffin maker and asked him to take his measure for a coffin.
To another man he went and engaged him to take charge of his burial.
He went to the gravedigger, and begged that functionary to dig his grave
at once. The Squire paid the gravedigger on the spot. The appointed
time came, but not the time and place of the vision, though not far dis¬
tant, and his friends came and went to his bedside in the old farmhouse
on the Island he loved so well, where he died on May 4, 1868. His funer¬
al services were at the Congregational Church, Boothbay Harbor, and his
mortal remains were taken to their last resting place at Boothbay Centre,
where he had previously bought a lot, and buried by the side of the re¬
mains of his wife ; and to-day, around the classic board of the royal palace,
one may always see a vacant seat, and the shade of Squire Greenleaf is the
shade with which fancy peoples that disused chair.
The Island was purchased of the Greenleaf heirs in 1870 by a party
of Lewiston gentlemen, viz., Messrs. Ex-Mayor J. B. Ham, Gov. Nelson
Dingley, Rev. Dr. Cheney, and others, for the small sum of twenty-one
hundred and fifty dollars. It contains one hundred and twenty-five acres
of land, and is well wooded. It is one of the most delightful and popular
summer resorts on the Atlantic coast.
PERSONAL HISTORY.

446. Stephen7 Greenleaf (Chart XXIII.), b. Aug. 26, 1794, son of
John0 and Anna (Roberts). After completing his studies at the district
school, he and his brothers, William and George, went to Wiscasset
Academy, where they received thorough instruction for three years, from
1811 to 1814. While pursuing his studies, August, 1814, news came that
the British were threatening to enter the mouth of the Kennebec River.
He at once started on foot for home to join the militia and his brother's—
Captain John—company. Contracting a severe cold, he was confined
several weeks to his bed with fever. After recovering, he " scoured up"
his father's old fusee, and started for the scene of action with the com¬
pany as its clerk or orderly sergeant. Before the end of his service of
sixty days the British abandoned their project, and the militia were
dismissed.
For twenty years or more after the war he was a successful school¬
master. He and his brother William purchased the two farms just north
of Starks Village, in 1817, one of which he owned and occupied to the
time of his death (a period of sixty-four years). He was a Justice of the
Peace for nearly fifty years, and being a fine penman, he was sought by
his townsmen, to a considerable extent, to draft deeds and other legal
documents. He was a man of extensive reading, and kept in touch with
events and current topics to the time of his death. In politics he was
(as were his seven sons) a stanch and prominent Democrat, and did not
fail to vote the straight ticket for more than sixty annual elections. He
held the several town offices, viz., Town Clerk, Treasurer, School
Committee, Selectmen, etc., for many years, and was a member of the
House of Representatives in the State Legislature in 1837. He was
familiarly known by his townsmen and friends as the "Squire," and
addressed as Esquire Greenleaf. In person he was five feet and nine
inches in height, and very straight built; weight about one hundred and
sixty pounds; had blue eyes, high, full forehead, and fine, silky, dark hair,
which held its luster to the time of his death.
He was exceedingly agile, and when past seventy-five years of age
he was as spry as most boys. As an instructor, husband, and father he
was greatly beloved. As a townsman he was highly and universally
esteemed, and enjoyed the full confidence of his neighbors and acquaint¬
ances, who sincerely mourned his loss as that of an honest and good man.
(See Military Service.)
His widow, " Aunt Fanny," as she was lovingly called, survived him
until Feb. 12, 1895, living with her faithful and devoted daughter, Mrs.
Lydia Greaton, when she peacefully entered her eternal home.
Blest is his life, who to himself is true,—
And blest his death; for memory, when he dies,
Comes with a lover's eloquence to renew
Our faith in manhood's upward tendencies.
Serene with conscious peace, she strewed her way
With sweet humanities, the growth of love;
Shaping- to right her actions day by day—
Faithful to this world and to that above.

PERSONAL HISTORY.
To her children she was a beacon light, always shining brightly to
point out the way of life and those paths of peace which she so serenely
trod. Blest with a voice of rare quality, purity, and volume of tone, the
worshipers of the sanctuary had many years been led in their devotions
by the sweet influence of her heart-felt songs; and it was remarkable that
in her later years the voice of song was retained to her in a great degree.
Many of the older residents can remember her as she appeared in early
life,—possessing unusual beauty and a tall, graceful carriage, both of
which she preserved in her later days,—her sunset of life,—which was so
calm and beautiful, and in peaceful harmony with that long line of years
in which her children will always fondly love to dwell. Their storehouse
of memory is well filled with " precept upon precept" of her teachings of
wisdom, and " line upon line " of love and devotion. Fortunate, indeed,
are they in such possessions; and the loftiness of her pure and noble
character, the gentleness and loveliness of her ways, will be to those she
has left behind to follow her as a benediction of a life of a noble and
generous woman.
456. Stephen Decatur8 Greenleaf (Chart XXIII.), b. Oct. 26,
1817, son of Anthony7 and Nancy (Brown). Left home at the early age
of seventeen and at once engaged to be a sailor. He followed the sea for
eight years, when he returned to his old home and entered at once vigor¬
ously into farming, and has ever since owned and occupied the same
premises on Sandy River. In addition to his large farming interests he
found time to give attention to other pursuits. During the war he was
engaged largely in recruiting soldiers and filling quotas for various towns.
He has dealt and operated to quite an extent in patents and patent rights.
He was ever foremost in all matters of reform and improvements in his
town and county. His hospitality was unlimited. His quick and energetic
generosity to the unfortunate is worthy of special mention. Before and
during the war he was an ardent Republican, but having the Greenback
policy of finance and the free coinage of silver firmly established in his
mind, he was one of the first to organize and form the Greenback party
in Maine. He was elected County Commissioner of Somerset County in
1878, and served three years, declining a renomination. He was nominated
as the candidate for governor by that party in 1879, but declined the honor
and refused to have his name used. Although his early advantages for an
education were limited, he acquired, by long study and application, much
information and practical knowledge, and at various times contributed to
farmers' papers and agricultural journals articles on garden vegetation and
general farming.
462. Luke Sawyer8 Greenleaf (Chart XXIII.), b. Jan. 6, 1814,
son of Levi7 and Amy (Greenleaf). Lived on a farm with his parents
until he was over twenty-one years of age, when he went to Easton,
Mass., and found employment with E. J. W. Morse & Co., thread manu¬
facturers. He was in their employ for nearly fifty years when he resigned.
He was first postmaster in South Easton, where he now resides, serving
through Harrison's administration (1841).

stretched on a frame to admit light. Letters were a luxury in those days,
and the nearest post office (in 1804) was Farmington Falls, whither a
journey would be made, an event of the day, to procure news of the outer
world. As the children learnt to read, they would sit by the open fire,
keeping it bright with birch bark, and with this light would pursue their
studies, and in time, being qualified, became teachers.
Mr. Greenleaf was Deputy Sheriff for some years, and his son Seth
was Coroner twelve years. Mrs. Hannah G. Ford, the daughter of Seth,
and now living on the old farm of her grandfather, Joshua Greenleaf, at
Mercer, writes, "I have before me three papers from three different
Governors of Maine, where my father (Seth) was appointed Coroner,
one from Gov. John Fairfield, another from Gov. H. D. Anderson, and
one from Gov. John W. Dana, in their handwriting."

513. Hon. Jonathan5 Greenleaf (Chart XXV.), b. July, 1723.
Was the sixth child and second son of Daniel1 and Sarah (Moody) of
Newbury. His father was drowned when he was but little over five
years of age, and his mother was left in very destitute circumstances,
with a large family of children. At seven years of age he was appren¬
ticed to Mr. Edward Presbury, and learned the trade of ship carpenter.
At the age of twenty-one he married Mary Presbury, the daughter of
his master, with whom he lived more than sixty years. He carried on
the business of shipbuilding in person for about twenty years, and
after this carried it on more extensively, and accumulated a large es¬
tate. From about the year 1768 to 1792 he was much in public life, and
the stirring scenes of the Revolution engaged his energies. For the whole
of that time he sustained some public office. Sept. 26, 1774, he was unani¬
mously chosen to represent the town of Newburyport in the General
Court. He was a member of the Continental Congress at the commence¬
ment of the war. June 12, 1786, he was made one of the Governor's Coun¬
cil for Essex. Senator, Feb. 11, 1788. In the Massachusetts Assembly

about five feet and four or six inches high, of spare habit, not inclining to
corpulency. He had a high forehead, a large aquiline nose, full, dark,
hazel eyes, and rather prominent front teeth, which he retained to the
last. In his later years his dress was always of one color, being deep blue,
London brown, or light drab. He generally wore shoes with oval silver
buckles, and in cold weather a drab broadcloth great coat, or a blue cloak,
a full white wig, after the fashion of his day, and a cocked hat. He walked
very upright to the last, his gait being a measured and moderate step;
he seldom walked fast. His manners were plain, unassuming, but very
polite, such as one would expect from a gentleman who had drawn them
from the teachings of St. Paul, and not from Chesterfield. His early
advantages for education were limited, but he was a man of considerable
reading, and had a large share of good common sense, joined with a knowl¬
edge of human nature; and in addition to this he possessed a remarkably
kind disposition. He was a religious man from early life, becoming a
member of the church about the time of his marriage in 1744. For many
years he was an elder in the First Presbyterian church in Newburyport.
In doctrine he was a strict Calvinist and in practice a consistent Christian.
Nothing but absolute necessity kept him from public worship 011 the
Sabbath, and he was scarce ever known to omit regular morning and
evening family worship. He died of old age, May 24, 1807. His wife
died but a few days previous. They lie buried near the eastern gate on
" Burying Hill." (See Military Service.)
524. Simon13 Greenleaf (Chart XXV.), b. 1752, son of Hon.
Jonathan5 and Mary (Presbury). In very early life was afflicted with
rheumatism, insomuch that he became somewhat deformed in body,
being hunchbacked, and was always a pet in the family, probably from
his physical disability. He is said to have been a young man of some
genius and wit, having a handsome face arid agreeable manners. He was
extravagantly fond of dress, in which he greatly indulged, probably to
conceal his personal defects, and was rather a gay young man. He had
learned the trade of goldsmith, but was never able to engage in much
active business, and soon declined, dying of consumption in 1776, at the
age of twenty-four years. His widow afterwards married Capt. John
Lee, of Andover, Mass. Mr. Greenleaf left one son, named Jonathan,
after his father. He was never married, and died suddenly in the year
1798 of yellow fever, on board of the United States Frigate "Essex,"
where he was a midshipman. The family name is extinct in this branch.
(See Naval Service.)
525. Capt. Moses15 Greenleaf (Chart XXV.), b. May 19, 1755,
son of Hon. Jonathan5 and Mary (Presbury). Was bred a ship carpenter,
but at the age of nineteen entered the American Army as a Lieutenant.
In 1776 he was commissioned as Captain. In 1781 he commenced the
business of shipbuilding in Newburyport in connection with his father,
and from that time till the year 1790 they built twenty-two sail of ships
and brigs. Their shipyard was a little south of the lower Long Wharf,
about where Johnson's Wharf is now built, and directly opposite the

house occupied by George Greenleaf, which Avas the dwelling house of
Hon. Jonathan Greenleaf. Moses Greenleaf and his brother Enoch both
occupied the large old house " up the yard." In November, 1790, he re¬
moved with his family to New Gloucester, in the State of Maine, where
he followed farming until his death:
In September, 1776, Captain Greenleaf married Lydia Parsons, born
1755, the daughter of Rev. Jonathan Parsons, of Newburyport, who mar¬
ried, Dec. 14, 1731, Phoebe Griswold, born April 22, 1716, the daughter
of Judge John Griswold, who was the grandson of Matthew Griswold, born
1620, died 1698, who emigrated to New England in 1639 anc* settled in
Windsor, Conn., and afterwards at Saybrook and Lyme, Conn. Matthew
Griswold married, Oct. 16, 1646, Anna Wolcott, daughter of Henry Wol-
cott, of Windsor. He was one of three brothers, Edward and Thomas
being the other two sons of George Griswold. All three brothers
emigrated from Kenilworth County, Warwick, England. Of this remark¬
able family it appears that twelve were Governors of States, thirty-six
high Judges (most of them distinct persons from any of the governors),
and many other eminent men. Most of these governors and judges held,
also, other high offices. Among them a few may properly be mentioned
here, viz.: Matthew Griswold, Sr., Governor of Connecticut; Roger
Griswold, Governor of Connecticut, also was offered by the elder Presi¬
dent Adams, but declined, the post of Secretary of War; Roger Wolcott
was Judge of the Superior Court, Connecticut; Roger Wolcott, Jr., was
Judge of the Superior Court, Connecticut; Oliver Wolcott was Judge of the
United States Circuit Court; Matthew Griswold, Sr., was Chief Justice of
Connecticut; Matthew Griswold, Jr., was Judge of the Supreme Court, Con¬
necticut; Roger Griswold was Judge of the Supreme Court, Connecticut.
Morrison Remick Waite, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, de¬
scended from the first Matthew Griswold. Christopher P. Wolcott, of
Ohio, was Attorney General of Ohio, afterwards Judge Advocate General,
and died when Assistant Secretary of War. Samuel Holden Parsons was
appointed by Washington the first Chief Justice of the Northwest Terri¬
tory. Judge Parsons was Major General in the Revolution, and was a
member of the court martial selected by Washington for the trial of
Major Andre. He studied law with his uncle, Gov. Matthew Griswold,
was made King's Attorney in 1774, and removed to New London; but at
the commencement of the Revolution went actively into military service,
was at the Battle of Bunker Hill, was made a Brigadier General in 1776.
Under an appointment as Commissioner of Connecticut, he obtained from
the Indians a cession of their title to the "Western Reserve" of Ohio.
He was a son of Rev. Jonathan and Phoebe (Griswold) Parsons. Of Mrs.
Parsons (Phoebe Griswold) it is said in a funeral sermon preached on her
death: "The God of nature was pleased to furnish her with mental en¬
dowments to an uncommon degree. In the solidity of her judgment and
penetration of mind she shone superior to most of her sex. For readi¬
ness, liveliness, and keenness of wit she appeared to me unrivaled. Such
was her courage and firmness of resolution as you can seldom find in the
delicate sex. Her indefatigable industry in the affairs of her family was.

remarkable. She was a person of much Christian simplicity and integrity.
Knowledge in divinity enters deeply into her character, and her acquaint¬
ance with church history was truly rare."
Captain Greenleaf was a well-proportioned man, about five feet eleven
inches in height, with broad and square shoulders, fair complexion, high
forehead, dark hazel eyes, and a nose somewhat aquiline. His hair was
very dark, nearly black, which he wore queued, with the ear locks and fore-
top braided, turned back and tied in with the queue. He always wore a
military cocked hat till he went to Maine, and dressed in a suit of reddish
brown mixed broadcloth with boots and square silver knee buckles, but
sometimes wore a blue coat. His overcoat was a close surtout. Becom¬
ing a military man in early life he acquired a military air, which he main¬
tained through life, walking very erect with a firm step. Mrs. Greenleaf,
his wife, was a small woman, below the middle size, of dark complexion,
piercing black eyes and a prominent chin. She was remarkably quick in
her movements, walking very upright to the last with a rapid and elastic step.
She had a remarkably self-denying and benevolent spirit. She survived
her husband more than twenty years, dying suddenly, and was buried
in Williamsburg, Me., where she then resided with her eldest son. Cap¬
tain Greenleaf was a member in high standing of the order of Masonry,
and was instrumental in establishing Cumberland Lodge, Me. He re¬
ceived his masonic degrees in St. Peter's Lodge, Newburyport, Mass.
The record, under date of Feb. 23, 1778, says, "Balited for Moses Green¬
leaf to become a member of this Society, and was accepted" (same date).
" Maid Moses Greenleaf an Entered Apprentice. Rec'd for his making
£4-0-0; for Tyler, 31s." The same evening he was passed to Fellow
Craft. Dec. 27, 17S0, he became Worthy Master of St. Peter's Lodge.
The last record of his presence in St. Peter's Lodge is Aug. 30, 1790,
which was about the time of his removal from Newburyport. Washington
Lodge No. 10, a traveling lodge in the Revolutionary Army, was char¬
tered Oct. 6, 1779. He was Worshipful Master of Washington Lodge
"in the field, July 6, 1780. Older brethren have often heard him remark

526. Capt. Enoch0 Greenleaf (Chart XXV.), b. Oct. 11, 1757,
son of Hon. Jonathan5 and Mary (Presbury). Resided in Newburyport,
where he kept a store. In person he was taller than his father, say about
five feet ten; and his walk rather more firm and military, but not so much
so as his brother Moses. His face very much resembled his father's, the
eyes, forehead, and nose being like his, but the mouth not quite so benev¬
olent in expression. His hair was thick, light auburn, and he wore it
clubbed, after the fashion of that day, and dressed on Sundays and train¬
ings, etc., with powder. His person was well made, but not corpulent.
He was much interested in military, and commanded a company of artil¬
lery for several years. (See Military Service.)

527. Richard6 Greenleaf (Chart XXV.), b. July 3, 1762, son of
Hon. Jonathan5 and Mary (Presbury). Followed the sea for several
years, and retained through life somewhat of the gait and air of a sailor.
His speech and manner were rapid and vivacious; he was naturally witty,
a man of fine genius and taste, a great lover of fun, very social, and the
life of company where he went. He had a good taste for painting, and
there is still in the family a very striking likeness of his mother from his
hand. In person he was about five feet ten inches in height, had a high
forehead, and hair nearly black, which he wore queued. He wore dressed
ear locks, as was then the fashion. His mouth had a peculiar expression
of humor, resulting partly from the curvature of his lips, and the peak in
the center of the upper lip. (See Naval Service.)
556. Richard7 Greenleaf, Jr., b. July 11, 1787, son of Richard6
and Marcia (Tappan). Removed to Brunswick, Me., from Hampton,
N. H. He was a prominent man in town affairs,—was Selectman from
1842 till 1855, most of the period Chairman; also in 1859 was several
times the Democratic candidate for Representative to the Legislature;
was Secretary and Treasurer of United Lodge, and a prominent Mason.
528. Judge Moses7 Greenleaf, Jr. (Chart XXV.), b. Oct. 17,
1777, son of Capt. Moses6 and Lydia (Parsons). At the age of thirteen
his father removed to New Gloucester, in the state of Maine, where he
was brought up. Although he had no special advantages for education,
he was a very thorough English scholar, and particularly as a mathemati¬
cian, in which he was excelled by few. In his early life he was engaged
in trade, first at New Gloucester, and then at Bangor. He afterwards
entered into some land speculations, and finally settled himself on a
farm in Williamsburg, Me., in the then county of Penobscot, now Piscata¬
quis, where he was one of the first settlers. He was engaged for many
years in the work of land surveying, during which time he constructed
and published a map of Maine, with a "statistical view" of about
150 pages, 8vo. In 1829 he published a new map, on a scale much en¬
larged and improved, accompanied by a " Survey of Maine," in an octavo
volume of nearly 500 pages, and an atlas exhibiting various features of
the state, titles of land, etc. For many years he was one of the principal
acting magistrates in the county where he lived, and for several years was
an Associate Justice of the Court of Sessions. In person Mr. Greenleaf
was about five feet ten inches high, of a very open, fair countenance,
rather large features, high cheek bones, brown hair, and dark hazel eyes.
He stooped a little when walking.
525. Clarina Parsons Greenleaf (Chart XXV.), b. Nov. 12, 1779,
daughter of Moses6 and Lydia (Parsons). Married Eleazer Alley Jenks,
of Portland, Me. He was a printer, editing and publishing the Gazette
of Maine, at Portland, for several years. Mr. Jenks was drowned, in com¬
pany with sixteen others, by the wrecking of a packet on Richmonds
Island, near Portland Harbor, on July 12, 1807. In person Mrs. Jenks

was tall and slim; she was of very light complexion, with light hair and
light eyes. She was a woman of much reading, and a well cultivated mind,
excelled as a letter writer, and had a good poetical talent. She became
interested in religion in the winter preceding the death of her husband,
and united with the Congregational Church in New Gloucester, in the
following year.
529. Capt. Ebenezer7 Greenleaf (Chart XXV.), b. Nov. 23, 1781,
son of Moses6 and Lydia (Parsons). Was brought up in New Gloucester.
At the age of nineteen he commenced going to sea, which he followed for
his principal business for about seven years, passing through the several
grades, until for some years he was master, and commanded one of the
packet ships from Portland to Liverpool. After leaving the sea, he re.
sided at Andover, Me., then at New Gloucester, and then removed to
Williamsburg, Me., where he continued to reside till his death, employed
as a farmer and land surveyor. Captain Greenleaf was a stout built man,
about five feet eleven inches in height, of a light complexion, light gray
eyes, and light brown hair. He generally walked very quick and upright.
He was considered a very good navigator, a skillful shipmaster, and a
man of much personal daring.
530. Hon. Simon7 Greenleaf (Chart XXVI.), b. Dec. 5, 1783, in
Newburyport, Mass., son of Moses6 and Lydia (Parsons). Received an
academic education at the Latin School in Newburyport, under the tuition
of Mr. Michael Walsh, who was well known in his day, and for many years
of the early part of the present century, as the author of the "Mercantile
Arithmetic," which was not only a popular text-book, but a counting-
house companion. At the age of eighteen he entered on the study of the
law with Ezekiel Whitman, Esq., then of New Gloucester, Me., but after¬
wards of Portland, and a Judge of Common Pleas. He was admitted to
the bar in Cumberland County, Me., in 1805, opened an office first in
Standish, then in Gray, and in 1817 at Portland, Me. He received the
honorary degree of Master of Arts in 1817 at Bowdoin College, and was
also in that year an overseer of the College.
At Gray, being the first and only lawyer in the place, he soon
acquired a very considerable practice, which he retained and enlarged by
his fidelity and skill. As his family increased he desired to extend the
range of his business and increase its emoluments, and in i8i8he removed
to Portland. At that time the two leading members of the bar had been
drawn aside from their profession into public life. Judge Mellen was in
the United States Senate, and Judge Whitman in the House of Representa¬
tives ; and Mr. Orr, who had a large practice in Cumberland, was also in
Congress. This encouraged the accession of other prominent men to
Portland : of these were Mr. Greenleaf and the late Judge Preble, who
came the same year. Mr. Greenleaf was not disappointed; his business
and his fame increased, and the larger and more cultivated society, and its
superior advantages in other respects, stimulated his susceptible powers to
higher efforts. He now took rank among the foremost men at the bar,
PERSONAL HISTORY.
and by his winning manners and persuasive style of speaking and address,
accompanied by the skill and ingenuity of his arguments, established his
reputation and his practice on a firm basis.
In the act of the new state, establishing the Supreme Judicial Court,
passed June 24, 1820, the Governor and Council were required " to appoint
some suitable person learned in the law to be a reporter of the decisions
of the Supreme Judicial Court," and publish them whenever they would
compose a suitable volume. His compensation was fixed at six hundred
dollars a year salary and the profits arising from the publication. Mr.
Greenleaf was immediately appointed reporter under this act, and entered
on his duties at York, August term, 1820. He continued faithfully,
promptly, and very ably to discharge the duties of this arduous and
responsible office for twelve years, closing with the July term at Waldo in
1832. The cases determined during this period are contained in nine
volumes, the last embracing a table of cases and a digest of the whole.
The judges were: Mellen, chief justice, and Weston, judge, through the
whole period; Judge Preble to 1828, and Judge Parris the remainder of
the time. The reports are distinguished for the clear and concise manner
in which the points of law are stated, and the arguments of counsel given.
They took high rank in this class of legal productions, and were received
as standards of authority throughout the Union. They were deservedly
considered among the most valuable of American reports, and so highly
were they esteemed that a new edition was demanded by the profession,—
a very rare thing in this class of works,—which was published with
annotations by Mr. Abbot, of Cambridge, a short time previous to Mr.
Greenleafs death. So conspicuous had Mr. Greenleaf become about the
time that he closed his duties as reporter, that the attention of Judge Story,
then at the head of the Law School at Cambridge, was turned to him as
the most suitable person to supply the vacancy in that department of the
University rendered vacant by the death of the lamented Professor
Ashmun, and he immediately determined to bring Mr. Greenleaf to
Cambridge if he could. At that time Judge Story, holding his court in
Portland, had an interesting case in admiralty. This branch of the law
was known only in our largest commercial cities, and not to many of the
profession there. And Judge Story was surprised when he found that Mr.
Greenleaf brought to this case a thorough acquaintance with this very
peculiar system of law, which he himself deemed of great importance, and
which, foreseeing its constantly increasing value, he wished to make
prominent in the instruction of the school.
The case referred to was similar perhaps to one of which the follow¬
ing anecdote is related. Mr. Greenleaf's father was not only a ship
carpenter, but an accurate draughtsman, and he took much pains in
teaching his boys the art of constructing a vessel. Simon, in this, was
his most apt scholar. It was his habit in his school days to spend his
leisure hours in the shipyard, and the habit of observation, conspicuous
through life, appeared very early, the benefit of which was shown in his
legal practice. On one occasion he was engaged in an insurance cause;
the vessel insured had been injured by pounding upon the bottom or side

while lying at a wharf. The defense was that the injury was occasioned
by carelessness in the insured in not securing her to the wharf, alleging
the damage to have been in her side, and not her bottom. One of the
witnesses for the plaintiff was a master builder who had repaired the ship,
and who, having testified that the injury was on the bottom, was thus cross-
examined by Mr. Greenleaf: "You are a ship carpenter, and master of your
trade?" "Yes." "In building a vessel, after laying your keel, you place
a row of crooked timbers crosswise, securing them to the keel with iron
bolts?" "Yes." " These you call floor timbers?" "Yes." "Between
these floor timbers the end of another crooked timber is inserted, as you
would insert the fingers of one hand between those of another, and these
you call foothook (futtuck) timbers?" "Yes." "And so you proceed,
filling in rows of crooked timbers, until you reach the top, calling the
third the rising timber, then the naval timber, and then the top timber?"
"Yes." "Now," said Mr. Greenleaf, " state to the jury, on your oath,
what kind of a timber you furnished for the repairing of that vessel.
Was it a floor timber, a foothook, a rising, or a naval timber?" " It was
a naval timber," said the witness. The case was clear; the jury saw it at
a glance. The injury was on the side of the vessel, and not on the
bottom; it was from carelessness and not accident; and the defense was
sustained.
In 1833 he was appointed Royal Professor of Law at Harvard College
as associate to Professor Ashmun. He received at Harvard, the year of
his removal to Cambridge, 1833, the degree of Doctor of Laws, and the
same degree at Amherst the next year. He was appointed Royal Professor
of Law at Harvard University as successor to Professor Ashmun, in 1833,
which office he held two years, when he was appointed to the chair of the
Dane Professorship, a worthy successor to that chair made vacant by the
death of Judge Story. In consequence of ill health he resigned this chair
in 1848, when he was honored with the title of Emeritus Professor of
Law in the University. His connection with the Law School marked a
season in its history of great prosperity. He became a mason in Cumber¬
land Lodge, Maine, which his father was instrumental in establishing, and
was the second Grand Master of the Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M., of Maine.
In 1820 and 1821 he, with Asa Clapp and Nicholas Emery, repre¬
sented Portland in the Legislature of Maine. As these were sessions
wiien the new government was put in operation the duty was responsible,
and, to a lawyer who was expected to pass upon the code of laws to be
adopted on careful revision, arduous. Mr. Greenleaf was faithful to his
trust, and beneficial to the country. With this experience he retired at
once and forever from political office. Mr. Greenleaf was a grave, sedate-
looking man, and very quiet in his movements. He was about five feet
ten inches in height, rather stout built, full face, with a small, sharp eye,
nearly black. His original hair was very dark brown ; his posture a little
stooping, with his head projecting forward; his countenance was ex¬
pressive of benignity and intelligence.
The following are some of the works which have proceeded from his
pen : " A Brief Inquiry into the Origin and Principles of Free Masonry

531. Rev. Jonathan7 Greenleaf, D.D. (Chart XXV.),b. Sept. 4,
1785, son of Capt. Moses6 and Lydia (Parsons). Was brought up on the
farm in New Gloucester, Maine. He united with the Congregational
Church at that place in October, 1807. His early education was limited
to the simple rudiments taught in the common country school of his day.
Availing himself of such helps as he could command, he made sufficient
advance in his studies as to prepare him for taking up a course of the¬
ology under the direction of Rev. Francis Brown, D.D., of North Yar¬
mouth, and was licensed to preach by the Cumberland Association at
Saco, Me., in September, 1814. He was ordained at Wells, Me., March 8,
1815, by York County Association, as pastor of First Congregational
Church. Dismissed and settled as pastor of the Mariner's Church in
Boston, in September, 1828; removed to New York as Corresponding
Secretary of the American Seamen's Friend Society, December, 1833.
Here he labored with untiring diligence and energy until November, 1841,
when his connection with the Society terminated. He was then residing
in Brooklyn, N. Y., and after supplying a few months the vacant Congre¬
gational Church, at Lyndon, Vt., but not accepting the call they gave
him, and finding a fresh field for his usefulness on unoccupied ground
within the city of Brooklyn, in the eastern section, he set himself to work
to gather and organize and sustain a Presbyterian Church. Here a congre¬
gation was soon gathered on Franklin Avenue, and he was installed as its
pastor on the 8th of March, 1843, remaining with them for twenty-two years,
laying down his work only with his life. The Rev. Drs. Prime, who were
both his intimate friends, thus speak of him in the New York Observer-.
"Always lively, genial, quaint, and often humorous, overflowing with
pleasing anecdotes of men and old times, he was a pleasant companion
and a warm-hearted friend. In the church he was a man of peace and a
peacemaker, with decided opinions and ability to enforce them; he was
so gentle in his persuasions, so kind in his self-assertions, so moderate in
his language, that he conciliated all by his manner, for no one could

doubt his sincerity and piety, and few questioned his judgment." He
won not only the hearts of his own people, but of all others with whom
he came in contact. While the poor and afflicted lost in him a friend
ever ready to listen and help, they lamented him as such; equally atten¬
tive to the young and old, he was regarded with the utmost love. In his
family circle no pleasure was complete unless shared with them. In his
study it was a delight to him to have his children come and go with
freedom, sharing with him, as though of the same age, in all the events
of the day. He was exceedingly particular and methodical with all his
papers and business affairs. He was honored by Bowdoin College bestow¬
ing her degrees upon him, and later in life, Princeton, also, giving him
the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Among the books of which he was the
author and publisher are the following: " Sketches of the Ecclesiastical
History of the State of Maine," from the earliest settlement to the time of
the author; "History of the Churches of New York"; "Thoughts on
Prayer"; "Genealogy of the Greenleaf family," 1854; "A Sketch of
Wells, Maine," published in the Maine Historical Collections, 1831; "A
Sketch of Lyndon, Vt.," 1852 ; "A Memoir of Rev. Jonathan Parsons," in
the American Quarterly Register, 1841; "A Doctrinal Catechism," and
five tracts, entitled, "The Missing Disciple," "Experimental Religion,"
" Sudden Death," " Shall I come to the Lord's Supper," " Misery of Dying
in Sin"; several religious tracts issued by tract societies of the Presby¬
terian and Methodist denominations; he edited the Sailor's Magazine
nine years; published fourteen sermons, one of which was reprinted in
London, England, in 1837. To the close of life he wrote more or less for
the religious papers, especially for the Christian Mirror, of Portland,
Me., and the Neiv York Observer. He became a corresponding member
of the New England Historic Genealogical Society in 1847.
546. Rev. Patrick Henry8 Greenleaf, D.D. (Chart XXVI.), b.
July 11, 1807, in Portland, Me., son of Hon. Simon" and Hannah (King¬
man), and graduated at Bowdoin College in 1825, having as classmates
Dr. George B. Cheever, Henry W. Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and
others subsequently distinguished in life. He was admitted to the Port¬
land Bar in 1829, and was soon engaged in good practice, but, concluding
to study for the ministry, he made his final argument before Judge Story
in 1835. In the same year he became a student of Bishop Doane of New
Jersey, and afterwards, proceeding to Cambridge, continued his studies
with Bishop Griswold, then of the Eastern Diocese. He was ordained
Deacon at Grace Church, Boston, in June, 1836, and Priest at Newport, in
May, 1837. His first position was as Rector of the Church of the Ascen¬
sion, Fall River, Mass., but in August, 1837, he became Rector of St.
John's Church, Carlisle, Penn., where he remained four years. In Sep¬
tember, 1841, he undertook the charge of St. John's Church, Charlestown,
Mass., and continued as its Rector for ten years. In May, 1851, he
founded St. Mark's Church, Boston. In September, 1853, he became
Rector of Christ Church, Madison, Ind., and in May, 1855, Rector of
St. Paul's Church, Cincinnati, O. At Easter, 1861, he became Rector of

PERSONAL HISTORY.
Emmanuel Church, Carrol Park, Brooklyn, N. Y. Dr. Greenleaf has
also temporarily officiated at St. Ann's and Grace Churches, Brooklyn.
He received the degree of A.B. from Bowdoin College in 1825; M.A.
from the same institution in 1828; M A. from Trinity College, Hartford,
Conn., in 1827*, and D.D. from the University of Indiana in 1854. ^ few
of his sermons and addresses have been printed. He also contributed
much to the reviews and newspapers.
In person, he was slightly under medium height, well proportioned
for his size, and of easy, composed manners. He had a round head, quite
bald and gray haired, and altogether appeared like one of those intelligent,
good-natured old gentlemen whose companionship is always cheering
and advantageous. His distinguishing traits were steadfast devotion to
duty as a parish priest; a forwardness in encouraging and sustaining
works of mercy and charity in the Master's name; singularly impressive
in pulpit ministrations, possessing talent in this respect above the average
of his contemporaries in the ministry, and yet his sermons, ever character¬
ized by spirituality of tone and manly earnestness, and eminently profit¬
able to the hearers, were calm intelligible statement, fair logical argument,
and possessed a tone of sincerity and gentleness throughout. He had a
happy tact in placing before the listener every fact which could completely
and freely reveal the merits of his whole subject, and he never shrank from
discussing the weak as well as the strong points. The language used was
of a very simple character, at the same time the best forms of English
composition, and the manner of delivery equally without the slightest
pretension. Within his own denomination he proved himself a ready and
willing co-operator in every good work, and with a large liberality of
opinion and a disinterested Christian benevolence he joined heartily with
others in measures of public utility.
The last Sunday that he officiated was the fourth Sunday after Trini¬
ty (June 20, 1869), when his favorite collect was for that day. It was one
which he was especially fond of repeating in Latin : "O God, the protect¬
or of all that trust in Thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is
holy; increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that thou being our
ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally
lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus
Christ's sake, our Lord. Amen." He went the following evening to the
vestry-room of his church, where he was wont to spend his leisure hours
in preparing for the duties of his parish, and as he did not return at the
usual time, search was made, and they found the venerable servant of the
Lord sitting by his table, leaning back in his chair. On the table was
found his open diary, and his pen near by. He had written a part of the
word "house," the first three letters, then sank back in his chair. The
spirit had returned to Him who gave it. His funeral was solemnized from
his church in the presence of a very large number of relations and friends.
There were present, besides the Bishop of the Diocese, above twenty of the
clergy in surplices. The church was draped, except the altar, which, at
his own wish, was clothed in white. It was a touching sight to see the

Hon. Simon7 and Ilannah (Kingman), m. July 15, 1830, Rev. Samuel
Fuller, of Providence, R. I. He was born in Rensselaerville, New York,
April 25, 1802. His father, Rev. Samuel Fuller, founded Trinity Church,
Rensselaerville, and St. Paul's Church, Greenville, N. Y. He (the son)
graduated from Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., in 1822, and in 1823
was principal of Hudson Academy. He then became private tutor in the
family of Mrs. Carter, of Halifax, Va., where he became intimately ac¬
quainted with Bishop Mead, who persuaded him to become a candidate
for orders. He graduated from the General Theological Seminary, New
York City, in 1827, and was ordained by Bishop Hobart as Deacon, and
preached his first sermon at St. Paul's Church, New York City. While
at Union College he became personally attached to Bishop Alonzo Potter,
then a Tutor in Union College, afterwards Bishop of Pennsylvania, father
of Bishop Potter of New York. Bishop Potter appointed him in 1853-4
lecturer on Christian life at Philadelphia, where he was associated with
Bishop Littlejohn, Rev. Dr. Edwin Harwood of New Haven, Rev. Dr.
Charles Mason of Boston, Bishop Howe of Central Pennsylvania, Bishop
Atkinson, Bishop Kerfoot, and others.
In 1827 he officiated at St. Paul's Church in Woodbury, Conn. In
1828 he became Rector of a church in Saco, Me., and in the fall was made
Tutor in Trinity College, the first in the College. In 1830 he was appointed
Rector of Grace Church in Providence, R. I. In 1831 he was editor of the
Episcopal Watchman. In 1832 he was made Rector of St. Michael's
Church, Litchfield, Conn., and remained with that church until 1837, when
lie became Rector of Christ Church, Andover, Mass. In 1843 he was made
Milnor Professor at the Theological Seminary of Ohio, of which Kenyon
College was a branch. In 1844 he was President pro tem of Kenyon,
afterwards declining election to the Presidency. The next five years were
spent in second Rectorship at Litchfield and Andover. In 1859 he was
made Professor of Literature and Interpretation of the Holy Scripture at
Berkeley Divinity School of Middletown, Conn., and retained his chair
until 1883, when he became Professor Emeritus.
Dr. Fuller wrote several books. His first was " Loutron." Others
were treatises on baptism, confirmation, creed, liturgy, and regeneration.
He was also the author of a " Commentary on the Revelation of St. John
the Divine." Among his pupils were Bishops Niles, Thomas Wells,
Barker, Vincent, Leonard, Nichols and White, Dean Hodges, Professors
Binney and Barbour, Dr. Vibbert of Trinity, New York, Dr. Brewster of
Brooklyn, and Dr. Maxon of Pittsburg.
Their son, Rev. Simon Greenleaf Fuller, became rector of St. Paul's
Church, Syracuse, N. Y., in February, 1870. He was unanimously called

from Yonkers, where he took leave of a parish to which he was deeply
devoted, and bj which he was beloved. His ministrations won the love of
his parishioners, to whom he became warmly attached; and as a citizen he
was highly respected by all denominations. He was at one time Rector of
Trinity Church in Hartford, Conn. He was a graduate of Harvard and
Middletown Theological Seminary. His first parish was at Wilton, Conn.,
and he subsequently became Rector of a prosperous parish at Pittsburg,
Penn., and at a later period responded to a call from Yonkers on the
Hudson.
547. James8 Greenleaf, b. June 15, 1814, son of Hon. Simon7 and
Hannah (Kingman). Graduated at Dartmouth College in 1834. He
immediately made a voyage to Calcutta in company with some old friends.
That long and pleasant voyage was never forgotten, and his interest in the
climate and customs of Calcutta had always a charm for him in re¬
membrance. On his return he took up his residence in New Orleans, La.,
in the interests of the large and growing cotton manufactories of Lowell.
During the Civil War, being a strong Union man, his property in New
Orleans was entirely confiscated by the Confederate Government, but at
the close of the war it was restored to him. While residing at New Orleans
he built a house in Cambridge, on land adjoining that upon which formerly
stood the dwelling house owned and occupied by the late Hon. Simon
Greenleaf, and near the old Craigie House where his wife's brother,
Professor Longfellow, lived for many years. Here he spent his summers,
and suddenly died here Aug. 22, 1865.
He married Mary, daughter of Hon. Stephen and Zilpha (Wadsworth)
Longfellow. She is descended from John Alden and Priscilla Mullins
through her mother's family, and also from Elder Brewster and Henry
Sampson of the "Mayflower" Pilgrims. Mrs. Greenleaf still resides in
the house at Cambridge, and continues a warm and active interest in St.
James' Church, of which mention is made in the notice of Caroline A.
Greenleaf. Among the characteristics of Mr. Greenleaf were absolute
integrity and strict honesty in all business matters; unselfishness and
loyalty to his friends; a keen sense of philanthropy, often generously
exercised in his own quiet and unostentatious way; of a deeply religious
nature, exemplifying in his daily life the teachings of the Master.

1826, daughter of Hon. Simon7 and Hannah (Kingman), m. Rev.
Andrew Croswell. He prepared for college mainly at the academy in
Falmouth, Mass. (his native town), and graduated at Brown University
in Providence, R. I., in 1843. Upon graduating, Mr. Croswell was
honored with a season's service as principal of the Providence High
School. His preparatory studies for the ministry were then formally
begun at the Alexandria Theological Seminary, Virginia, and were com¬
pleted privately with the Rev. Samuel Fuller, then of Litchfield, Conn.
In 1846 Mr. Croswell's name appears as a candidate for Holy Orders
in the Diocese of Rhode Island, as reported by Bishop Henshaw in the

Trinity Church, Boston, by Bishop Eastburn, the Rev. Patrick H. Green-
ieaf preaching the sermon. He labored for a short time in Cabotsville,
Mass., now Chicopee, and in October, 1849, became Rector of St. Paul's

In April, 1853, Mr. Croswell was made Rector of St. Mary's,
Newton Lower Falls, Mass., and remained there until April, 1856. In

part of the present city, then known as North Cambridge, was opened a
new field of labor in the vineyard of the Lord, and the present prosperous
St. James' Church is the result of a small beginning in which both Mr.
and Mrs. Croswell were most sympathetic and active. Mrs. Croswell is
remembered as an exquisitely lovely and charming woman, of great
gentleness, and sweetness, and strength of character; having a highly
intelligent and cultivated mind, a grace and beauty of conversation, with
a fascinating attractiveness which won the hearts of all.
The interest of Mr. and Mrs. Croswell in the parish of St. James'
Church seems to call for more than a passing notice on these pages; a
brief account of its early days, therefore, will be of interest. At the very
end of 1864 an active beginning was made, and on the evening of
Christmas Day, in a hall known as Atwill's Hall, fitted up for a chapel,
the opening service was held, Bishop Huntington preaching the sermon.
In June, 1866, a parish was legally organized and the Rev. Andrew Cros¬
well was elected Rector, remaining until his resignation, by reason of ill
health, in December, 1870. The Rev. Edward Abbott, D.D., its present
Rector, in a discourse delivered at the Commemorative Service which
marked the erection of the tablet to the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Croswell
in St. James' Church, Nov. 9, 1879, gives an interesting account of the his¬
tory of the parish down to that time, and a touching tribute to their mem¬
ory, from which I quote in part: "If he (Mr. Croswell) was the father of
the parish, she was the parish mother; she was the beloved Persis 'who
labored much in the Lord,' the Phebe who was a succourer of many."
" As he planted, she watered. They walked and worked together." Re¬
ferring to the location of the church, the valuation of property in its vicin¬
ity in 1864 " was only about one third " of what it became in 1879. "The
main features of the landscape show no great change; the difference is in
matters of detail. The railroad was here, and the station, and the horse
cars, and Porter's Tavern, and the old Davenport House on our adjacent
corner, and a few other ancient buildings which still preserve their identity;
but this now stately North Avenue, with its bricked sidewalks, lined with
handsome dwellings and commodious shops, was then more of a rambling
country road leading away to what was West Cambridge and the towns
beyond." The history of the parish to the present time would show a
remarkable record of vitality, growth, and usefulness.

PERSONAL HISTORY.
At thirteen years of age entered the employ of the shipping house of
Messrs. A. & C. Cunningham, ship owners in Mediterranean and North
of Europe trade, and upon their retirement served with the house of
Zipcy & Wyman, a shipping house in the trade with Turkey, etc. At
nineteen years of age he went to Chicago, 111., and engaged in forwarding
and commission business under the firm name of D' Wolf & Greenleaf,
occupying the first brick warehouse built in that city for shipping busi¬
ness. Two years later, removing to the East in the interest of new rail¬
roads then being built in the West, he located for a time in New York
City and afterwards in Boston, where, in November, 1853, he married
Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Hon. Paul Willard, a prominent lawyer of
Charlestown, Mass., and Judge of the local court. Mr. Greenleaf re¬
tained his interests in the West for many years, at one time sending
many Eastern people as colonists into Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, and
Iowa, at which time he was appointed by Gov. Henry J. Gardner, Justice
of the Peace, which office he held for the full term of seven years, and
later became a commission merchant located at Boston, and having
a business connection with his brother, Henry L. Greenleaf, at New
Orleans, La. The effect of the war of 1861-65 changing his relations in
business matters, he relinquished the commission business and en¬
gaged in other pursuits until about 1884, when, his health failing,
lie was for a short period practically retired from active life, but
subsequently engaged in insurance. Having inherited strong literary
tastes, he was from an early age a constant reader of history, etp., Avhich
in his later life, as a result of enforced inactivity by reason of ill health, it
was his privilege to indulge; a large portion of his time being devoted to
researches in the archives of our libraries, courts of record, etc., a never-
failing source of learning and a fount of rich and varied knowledge. In the
fifties he enlisted as a private in the Boston Light Infantry, with which
he remained in active service many years, doing garrison duty at Fort
Warren in 1861, and was afterwards commissioned as Captain of the 69th
unattached Inf. M. V. M., which became Co. G, 7th Regt.; this position
he held for three years, when the regiment was disbanded. Mr. Greenleaf
has also been active in musical life, having been organist and director of
music for twenty-seven years in prominent churches of Boston and
vicinity. (See Military Service.)

1856, and his wife died Dec. 25, 1879.
Mrs. Harriet Whiting Willard was a direct lineal descendant of
Rev. Samuel Whiting, her first ancestor of the Whiting name in America.
He was a son of Hon. John Whiting, who was Major of Boston, Eng.,
1600-1608. Rev. Samuel Whiting was born Nov. 20, 1597; died Dec. 11,
1679, age eighty-two years. His first wife with her issue, except her daugh¬
ter Dorothy, died in England. Dorothy came with her father to America,
May 26, 1636, and married Thomas Weld, son of Rev. Thomas Weld, of
Roxbury, Mass. Rev. Samuel married (2) Elizabeth St. John, Aug. 6,
1629. The genealogy of Elizabeth St. John is clearly traced from William
de St. John, who was one of the barons who accompanied the Norman
Duke in his invasion of England, as on record "New England Historic
and Genealogical Register," Volume XIV., January, i860, also same jour¬
nal, Volume XV., 1861. She was the daughter of the Rt. Hon. Sir Oliver
St. John, Knight of Cayshoe, Bedfordshire, Eng., a sister of Lord Chief Jus¬

1855, in CharlestOAvn, Mass., son of James Edward9 and Mary Elizabeth
(Willard). After attending private schools in his early life, entered the
High School in Charlestown, then under the charge of Master Caleb
Emery as the Principal. Military training being a part of the exercises,
the school was organized as a battalion, the officers of which being
elective, by the pupils, upon nomination by a competent committee he
was advanced in succession through the various grades from that of
private to the position of major commanding. Entered Harvard College,
and was graduated there in 1877 with honors in Natural History. He was
assistant in Botany in Harvard College, 1877-81. Received the degrees
of A.M. and M.D. from Harvard College, 1885. Was House Officer and

the Good Samaritan Hospital in that city.
In 1861, at the breaking out of the War of the Rebellion, he was, on
April 19th, commissioned Assistant Surgeon, Fifth Ohio Infantry; his

542. Simon8 Greenleaf (Chart XXVI.), b. May 3, 1822, in Wil¬
liamsburg, Maine, son of Ebenezer7 and Hannah D. (Haskell). At the
age of seventeen he began life on his own account, remaining in the East
until 1851, when he started west; the route then was rather indirect,
going by rail to Buffalo, through the lakes to Chicago; he went from
Chicago, across country to Galena, and up the Mississippi River to Still¬
water, thence to Shakopee, Minnesota, in 1853, and became identified with
that place as one of its principal citizens until 1863. He then moved to
Davenport, Iowa, and was employed in the Quartermaster's office until
the close of the war, when he went to Racine, and entered the employ of
the Racine & Mississippi Railroad (later the Western Union) as con¬
tractor for wood and ties. In 1867 he removed his family to Savanna,
111., and Mr. Greenleaf continued in the employ of the railroad until
1871, when the wood business began to be greatly reduced on account of
the increased use of coal.
About this time he established himself in the insurance business, and
carried on collecting and conveyancing during the remainder of his active
life. He was exceptionally well read in law, and his sound judgment won
for him the entire confidence of lawyers whenever they came before him
in law cases. He enjoyed the reputation of being an expert in convey¬
ancing, and the correctness of his legal papers has been always favorably
remarked upon by county officials. Though not the pioneer in Savanna
newspaperdom, he established the Savanna Times in 1875, which was the
first paper in the town since 1856, when the Register was suspended.
Though the predictions of failure were many, Mr. Greenleaf made a suc¬
cess of the newspaper business, and sold out in 1884. The following year,
in company with his son Frank, the Journal was established, although his
connection with that paper was merely nominal, and in 1886 it was placed
entirely in the hands of the young man. Mr. Greenleaf took a prominent
part in the politics of the county and district, and was always fair and
liberal in his views. In 1884 he was elected to the State legislature, and
served one term. In local affairs he was foremost in all enterprises for

the public good, and aided in every way any worthy enterprise that pre¬
sented itself. Perhaps no greater evidence of his persistent effort in a
worthy cause can be found than in his church work. An Episcopalian of
ardent faith, he found himself the only one in Savanna. About the year
1870 he began his efforts toward building up a church, and although it took
eighteen years, he finally succeeded, with the aid of others, of course, and
it was a happy day for him when, in 1888, St. Paul's church was conse¬
crated. In 1S71 he was elected Justice of the Peace of Savanna Town¬
ship and held that office continuously until his death.

resided some time in Kittery, also in Newburyport, Mass., where he died
suddenly of disease of the heart. He was one of the councillors of the
Colony of Massachusetts Bay in 1770, 1771, 1772, 1774, and was a member
of the Executive Council of Massachusetts during the Revolutionary War,
and signed in approval the resolve of the General Court under which the
"Committee of Correspondence, Inspection, and Safety" was chosen on
Feb. 13, 1776, and of which committee Joseph Greenleaf was chairman.
He was a member, together with Hon. William Greenleaf, High Sheriff of
the County of Suffolk, and Hon. Nathan Appleton, of a committee of

576. Abner" Greenleaf (Chart XXX.), b. March 12, 1785, son of
Abner3 and Elizabeth (Milk). Was twice married and has had twelve
children, all by the second wife, Miriam Bell, daughter of Matthew Bell,
of Newcastle, N. H. She was a great-granddaughter of Sir William
Pepperell's sister Dorothy. At the age of twenty-one he removed to
Portsmouth, N. H., where he carried on the business of coppersmith,
plumber, and founder, for many years, and where he cast cannon for the
Navy in the War of 18x2. For that purpose he erected works on a small
island in the Piscataqua, opposite the Navy Yard. For several years he
was teacher of a public school in Portsmouth, and, in 1828, he was ap¬
pointed Postmaster there by President Jackson, which office he held for ten
years, 1829-39. He was also the first mayor of Portsmouth under the city
charter. He was connected with the New Hampshire Gazette for many
years, and the writer of the principal editorials. He was elected many times
to the Legislature of New Hampshire, in terms ranging from 1816, when he
defeated Daniel Webster, in Portsmouth, to 1864; and in 1829, as Presi¬
dent of the Senate of that State, was at one time acting Governor, there
being no Lieutenant Governor. His portrait now hangs in the State
Department of that State among the Governors, by virtue of his Presi¬
dency of the Senate and acting Governor. He was a disciple of Jefferson
in politics, but not a partisan; firm in his convictions, regardless of party
policy. He died Sept. 28, 1868.
581. Albert8 Greenleaf (Chart XXXI.), b. Sept. 17, 1810, son of
Abner7 and Miriam (Bell). Resided in Baltimore, Md. He lived in
Portsmouth, N. H., until 1835, except one year spent in Boston, Mass.
He was bred a printer, and was of the firm of Beck & Co., of Portsmouth,
when they published the New Hampshire Gazette. Receiving an ap¬
pointment in the Treasury Department, Washington, D. C., in 1835, he
removed there, and resided there continuously until 1870, when he took up
his residence in Baltimore. He held various offices there, and part of the
time was engaged in reporting Congressional Proceedings, and in news¬
paper correspondence. He was commissioned several terms by the State
Department as Justice of the Peace, and was, in 1856, Navy Agent, Navy
and Army Pension Agent, under Presidents Pierce and Buchanan. Mr.
Greenleaf's estimable qualities of character and mind at once secured him

the confidence and esteem of the leading men of both parties in Washing¬
ton. Mr. Webster, though differing from him politically, was a firm
friend till his death, and many were the striking stories of that famous
man which Mr. Greenleaf's retentive memory enabled him in after years
to tell. Henry Clay was also his friend. But it was the great Calhoun
whom Mr. Greenleaf especially delighted to honor. Mr. Calhoun's rare
personal virtues, unbending devotion to principle, and profound logical
mind, excited in young Greenleaf an admiration which, as time went on,
ripened into reverence. Mr. Greenleaf used to say that he had heard all
of Mr. Calhoun's great speeches, and that he was the only man of his day
against whom no one dared, whatever his political opinions, to impute
political insincerity or self-seeking. Since his residence in Baltimore,
1870, his life was that of a retired gentleman, availing himself of his
leisure to study the political writings of the Democratic sages, with which
he was familiar to an uncommon degree, and entertaining his friends with
delightful anecdotes of the great men whom he met socially and otherwise
in Washington. Mr. Greenleaf belonged to a political school which
bossism has done much to banish from this country. He believed in
political principles which Avere with him convictions, which it would be a
crime to prostitute to personal ends, or to compromise for temporary
political advantage. Mr. Greenleaf's sincerity of conviction and patriotic
devotion to his country made him a severe critic of the political methods
which have prevailed since the war; since when it appeared to him self¬
ishness and ignorance had taken the place of patriotism and statesman¬
ship, and party diverted from an instrumentality for the perpetuation of
political principles, to the maintenance of personal power unworthily
obtained and ignobly used. While first of all a political thinker and
student of government, widely and accurately read in the history of gov¬
ernment, Mr. Greenleaf also possessed great familiarity with the best
literature of his day, which he applied with charming ease to the illustra¬
tion of the topics of his conversation, which he never suffered to fall into
the trivial or unworthy. He was a gentleman of dignified bearing, of
scrupulous honesty, and exacting sense of the obligations of life. His
death, which occurred on March 8, 1895, at the advanced age of eighty-
four years, when most men have long lost touch with life, is keenly felt
by those who had the privilege of personal intercourse with him, for he
carried to the end an unimpaired intellect and the charm of manner and
conversation which were peculiarly his.

his early life,—one of struggle for knowledge,—remarkable for courageous
and persistent perseverance, is a most interesting one, and is related in an
extended form in " A Memorial of Bradford Academy," published by the
Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society in 1870. He lived
on a farm, which meant in those days, for boys, hard manual labor, with
but poor opportunities for an education; these opportunities he improved,
and made such use of his hours for study and the few books at hand as to
form a strong passion for knowledge. He once said to a friend, " If I ever
offered up an earnest prayer it was for rainy days, that I might betake my¬
self to my books." For these he early showed a strong desire, and, in their
scarcity in those times, he would go miles to borrow them. His spare
pennies he coined into books, and so was enabled to extend his borrowing
by lending. It is said of this distinguished author and teacher that at
fourteen years of age he did not know the multiplication table, but we find
the striking indication of his scholarship in college that he sketched the
transit of Venus while there, an event to take place Dec. 8, 1874.
In 1805, at the age of nineteen, he commenced a preparation for
college under the instruction of the Hon. John Vose, of Atkinson, N. H.
During the five years following he spent two of them in the academy, and
the other three in teaching schools in Plaistow, Atkinson, Haverhill,
Bradford, and Marblehead. Thus early in his scholar life he began what
proved to be his professional life. On Sept. 29, 1810, he was entered as a
Sophomore in Dartmouth in a class of sixty. After his graduation in 1813,
Mr. Greenleaf renewed his work as a teacher, and took charge of the
grammar school in Haverhill. On the 12th of Dec., 1814, he became the
Preceptor of Bradford Academy. The Institution, during the eleven years
of its existence, had already had thirteen Preceptors.
As a teacher Mr. Greenleaf was popular and successful. One of his
pupils, Hon. Ira Perley, Chief Justice of the State of New Hampshire, in
writing of him, says : " His personal appearance and manners were marked
and somewhat peculiar. Everything in the man was frank, direct, and
wholly unaffected. Though very plain and perhaps a little careless in his
dress, he was always perfectly tidy and scrupulously neat. His manners
were not much regulated by artificial rules of politeness, but he had what
is much more important, great real kindness of heart and habitual regard
for the feelings of others. He was devoted to his business of teaching, and
justly regarded it as of the highest importance. It is quite clear that he
chose the profession for which his natural endowments and all his training
and habits had best qualified him."
He was a thoroughly sincere and honest man and was wholly in¬
capable of disguise or false pretense. His moral and religious principles,
firmly established, were made the guide of his life. His influence was all
on the side of religion and virtue. A classmate of Mr. Perley, the Rev.
William Clark, adds some important and bold lines to this striking
picture. He says: "Mr. Greenleaf was an uncommon genius in the
sense of having peculiarities entirely his own, in the structure of his
mind, the contour of his head and face, the expression of countenance,
his utterance, his manners, his motions, all his ways. His intellectual
*54

powers were great in the line of the higher mathematics, including all
the natural sciences. A peculiarly nervous temperament was a marked
element in Mr. Greenleaf. Sit or stand still he could not. In him ex¬
perimenters for perpetual motion would have found a pretty good solution
of their problem. So impatient were his thoughts of utterance, so
crowded they one upon another, their struggle for development would set
in motion his hands, arms, head,—his whole body." In his earlier man¬
hood a head of heavy black hair threw a deep covering over his forehead
and temples. It was braided behind in a queue of respectable length,
which, in animated conversation, he was wont to seize with his right
hand, tossing it over his shoulders, as if to help his impeded utterance.
Mr. Greenleaf was in the State Legislature 1837, 1838 and 1839, ar,d
while there he introduced an order for a geological survey of the State,
and also one for a natural history survey; and the surveys were after¬
wards made. He was also a pioneer educator in the natural sciences by
illustrated public lectures. Chemistry, astronomy, geology, and the
various departments and labors in the life of a teacher were the most
common themes.
In 1839 he founded and took the charge of the Bradford Teachers'
Seminary, a school for both sexes, and continued as its head till its dis¬
continuance in 1848. His professional labors as a teacher then closed.
As an author Mr. Greenleaf was widely, eminently, and honorably
known. The first of his mathematical series to the public was issued
in 1835. As early as 1825 he published a duodecimo tract of eight pages,
entitled, "Rules of Syntax"; of these there are forty-three. Mr. Green¬
leaf also worked off the mathematical calculations for a number of alma¬
nacs. For several years he did this for the Cherokee Mission, beginning
with 1854, and continuing it for six or seven years. The labor was gratu¬
itous, and he called the offering his "missionary money." He also made
calculations for almanacs for the meridian of Boston, New Orleans,
Vicksburg, Memphis, San Francisco, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Of his
common school arithmetic, alone, five hundred and sixty thousand copies
were printed from the first set of plates, and considerable more than a
million in all. He published text-books on arithmetic, mental and writ¬
ten, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, plane and spherical, and left
in manuscript a System of Practical Surveying. Their issue from the
press began in 1835, and continued in new works and new editions almost
to the time of his death. Some of his primary and elementary arithme¬
tics have been translated into Burmese, and some of his works into
modern Greek. Mr. Greenleaf was more than a local teacher, he was a
public educator. Always active in whatever related to the advancement
of his own academic charge, he was constantly adding to the native stim¬
ulus and enthusiasm that led him to adopt the profession of teaching, and
so was always ready to co-operate with the friends of popular education in
their efforts to raise the standard of instruction. Hence he was found
among the pioneers in leading teachers to dispense with text-books in the
recitation room, and before their classes. Hence, too, he was an early
and efficient advocate of the Normal School system; and while he was

593. Anna Greenleaf (Chart XXXII.), b. March 2, 1793, daughter
of Caleb6 and Susanna (Emerson), m. John Crowell, of Haverhill, Mass.
Dr. John Crowell, born Sept. 28, 1823, their son, at the age of twenty-one
took charge of the School Street Grammar School in Haverhill, Mass.,
and by his vigorous methods of instruction gained a high reputation as a
"teacher, and many of his former pupils have acquired distinction in varied
spheres of life. Desiring to study the theory of medicine he came under
the instruction of Dr. George Cogswell, of Bradford, who had gained a
wide reputation as the leading physician and surgeon in the Essex North
Medical Society. He pursued his studies still further under the direction
of Prof. James McClintock, of Philadelphia, and afterwards in the
Pennsylvania Hospital in that city, and graduated with honor from the
Philadelphia College of Medicine in 1850. In 1856 he was admitted a
Fellow of the Massachusetts Medical Society, and in 1881-2 was President
-of the Essex North Medical Society, which is a branch of the State Society.
In 1851 he commenced the practice of medicine in Haverhill, Mass., his
native town, identifying himself with its social and literary life, and always
taking a deep interest in whatever pertained to the welfare of his fellow-
citizens. He held many and important public offices, and in every position
of trust he has discharged his duties with rare zeal and tact. While on
the School Board, he was elected Chairman during very nearly the entire
term of his many years of service. In 1878 he was elected one of the
Trustees of the Haverhill Public Library. In 1880 he was appointed
member and Chairman of the Board of Health. Upon the establishment
of the Haverhill City Hospital, in 1882, he was appointed one of the
Trustees, and was chosen Secretary of the Board. In January, 1883, he
was appointed Trustee of Bradford Academy, and elected Secretary of the
Board. In March, 1883, he was elected Trustee of the Linwood Cemetery
Corporation. August, 1883, appointed one of the Consulting Board of
Physicians and Surgeons at Danvers Asylum. In his religious life he was
connected with the Centre Congregational Church since 1849, an^ filled
important official positions in the church and in the Sunday school. His
literary labors have been many and varied. He has written several papers
for the Massachusetts Medical Society. June, 1883, he delivered the
annual address before the Massachusetts Medical Society. Among the
numerous lectures, essays, reviews, etc., written by him for clubs, literary
societies, and periodicals, are those on John Ruskin, and Michael Angelo;
Architecture, Sources of the English Language, Thomas a Becket, Charles
Lamb, etc. He died April 28, 1890, at the age of sixty-six years seven
months.

before he saw any of them. He lived with Mr. Peter Holden, a shoe¬
maker (to whom he was bound to learn the trade). Mr. Holden moved
to Otisfield, Me., taking William Avith him. He sometimes fa--ed hard;
was poorly fed and scantily clothed, but worked his time out and got his
trade. He was ambitious, possessed an amiable disposition, was healthy,
and grew to be a fine-looking young man, liked and respected by all who
knew him. When he became of age, he bought a lot of land, cleared it,
and built a house and barn, convenient for a home. He prospered in his
business, working on his land, while his trade furnished him with work,
more than he could do besides his farm work, so he was always busy,
sitting late at night on his low bench, making shoes well suited to those
good old times of home manufacture. A brook ran through his farm
near his buildings, which, by the help of a dam, furnished water power
sufficient for a mill. He bought machinery and built a mill, doing a suc¬
cessful business, sawing shingles. Later on he built a new house of
modern architecture, and commodious for his family of seven healthy and
happy children.
29. John Greenleaf Whittier, b. Dec. 17, 1807, at Haverhill,
Mass. Descended from Thomas Whittier, born in England, 1622, who
married Ruth Green, probably in Newbury, Mass., about 1646. Leaving
Southampton, he sailed for Boston on the ship " Confidence," on April
24, 1638, and settled first in Salisbury, Mass., afterwards removed to
Newbury, and in 1648 to Haverhill, at which place the town records say
he "brought a hive of bees." Of the ten children of Thomas and Ruth,
the youngest was Joseph, born May 8, 1669, at Haverhill, Mass. Joseph
married Mary Peasley, daughter of Joseph and Ruth (Barnard), at Haver¬
hill, Mass., May 24, 1694. They had nine children; the youngest was
Joseph, born March 31, 1716. He married July 12, 1739, Sarah, born
March 5, 1721, daughter of Nathaniel4 and Judith (Coffin) Greenleaf.
They had eleven children ; the youngest married son was John, born Nov.
22, 1760, at Haverhill, Mass. He married Abigail, daughter of Samuel
and Mercy (Evans) Hussey, Oct. 3, 1804. They had four children, the
6econd of whom was John Greenleaf Whittier. The members of this line
of the Whittier family resided in Haverhill, Mass., occupying the ancestral
home until about 1830, when John G. and his mother removed to Ames-
bury.* The records of the Whittier family in this line may be found at
Haverhill, and most of them are' substantiated by the records in the
Registry of Deeds and Probate at Salem, Mass. The childhood of the
poet resembled that of most young people in the same walk of life in New
England in the first decade of the century. As soon as he was old enough
to be useful, the boy was set to work on the farm and to doing errands for
his mother, who, besides attending to her household duties, busied herself
in spinning and weaving the woolen cloth that was needed for the family.
Like his brother poet Bryant, who was thirteen years older, he was fond
of outdoor life, and, like him, was a diligent student of nature. When

he was fourteen, his first schoolmaster, Joshua Coffin, brought to the
house a volume of Burns' poems, from which he read, greatly to the lad's
delight. He begged him to leave the book with him, and set himself at
once to the task of mastering the glossary of the Scottish dialect at its
close. It was the first poetry that he had ever read, and it exercised so
strong an influence over him that he began to rhyme and to imagine
stories and adventures. When he was about nineteen, a young man
named Garrison, a native of Newburyport, where he had served his
apprenticeship as a compositor, started a paper on his own account, the
Free Press, to which the family subscribed. It was in the poet's corner
of this paper that his verse first saw the light. He was so overjoyed when
he read himself in print that he was rooted to the ground (he was mend¬
ing fences at the time), and had to be called several times before he was
fully awake to this dull, work-a-day world. One summer day not long after¬
wards, a carriage drove up to the house and a young man, alighting, asked
for Mr. John Greenleaf Whittier. He was sent for, and slipping in by the
back door, barefooted, and without coat or waistcoat, he made himself
presentable and appeared. The visitor was the editor of the Free Press,
William Lloyd Garrison, to whom his elder sister had divulged the secret
of authorship of his verses, and who, being a great lover of poetry, had
come to pay his respects to the new poet. What passed between Whittier
and Garrison that summer day, and between the pair and the parents of
Whittier, can only be conjectured now. That they were made to see
there was a future for their boy may be inferred from the fact that before
the year was over he was sent to an academy in Haverhill. His first
literary employment after quitting Haverhill was as the editor of the
American Manufacturer, a paper published in Boston. His next employ¬
ment was on the Haverhill Gazette, of which he was the editor for the
first six months of 1830. He was now fairly well known through his
poems in the Yankee, which was published in Portland, Me., and his con¬
tributions in prose and verse in the New England Weekly Review, which
was published in Hartford, Conn. He was as proud of New England as
Burns of Scotland, and what it was and had been was the chief source of
his inspiration. His nationality was visible in all that he wrote. His
first collection was "New England Legends in Prose and Verse" (1831),
and his first poem of any length, "Moll Pitcher" (1832). He was
strongly drawn to the past of his native land, now as it was recorded in
history, and now as it was handed down by tradition. The Indians
appealed to his sympathy, as they appealed to the sympathy of Bryant,
but differently and less poetically; for while they were merely shadows
against the background of Bryant's verse, they were prominent figures in
the foreground of his verse,—dark, repellent, horrible. He published
" Mogg Megone" in 1836. He figured among journalists in 1837, in the
Pennsylvania Freeman, of which he soon became the editor, and in his
thirty-third year he removed from Philadelphia and settled in Amesbury.
From his contributions to the Democratic Review, which extended from
the autumn of 1837 to the spring of 1846, and to two or three other period¬
icals and journals, he drew the materials for his next collection, " Lays of

my Home, and Other Poems" (1843), which at once gave him a place
among the poets of America. (See Harper's Weekly, Sept. 7, 1892.)
621. Samuel6 Greenleaf (Chart XXXV.), b. March 14, 1766, son
of Abner5 and Mary (Whittier). Resided for about eight years at West
Newbury after his marriage. Thence he removed to Bangor, Me., where
he remained ten or twelve years; thence to Marietta and Cincinnati, O.
At Cincinnati he established a carriage shop, which was destroyed by fire
in 1821. After struggling with adversity several years, he, aided by his
son Edward, succeeded in satisfying all claims against him. In 1832
Edward removed from Cincinnati. His father and mother and two sis¬
ters, Clarissa and Julia, followed him to Tennessee, near Bolivar. He
(Samuel) was there but a few months when he died in July, 1835. His
death was calm and peaceful to the last moment. He had no dread of
death, and said it was " no more to him than passing through a doorway
—from one room to another—where all was peace." He was tall and
rather slender, with tender blue eyes and silvery hair; erect and dignified,
though very quick in his movements; precise and careful in his dress and
manners ; a fine " old school " gentleman. In referring to the beauty and
purity of his character, his granddaughter says, after an interval of sixty
years : " I remember well how he would take me, a little girl, on his knee,
and sing to me the old hymns, 'How firm a foundation,' 'The Lord will
provide,' and the song of the Indian captive 'The Son of Alhnomac shall
never complain.' How eagerly I awaited to hear grandpa's quick step, and
the slight cough he always gave as he opened the gate, and shut it with a
peculiar click." Samuel Greenleaf and his wife Miriam had twelve chil¬
dren, five of whom were born in West Newbury, six in Bangor, and one
in Marietta.
635. Stephen6 Greenleaf (Chart XXXVI.), b. April 11, 1766, son
of Samuel5 and Lois (Rowell). In the year 1789 removed with his
mother to Salisbury, N. H., and engaged in farming. Mr. Greenleaf
was a well built man, six feet in height, not much inclined to flesh, nor
very slim. He had black eyes, auburn hair, and light complexion. He
was of nervous temperament, very active, and quick in all his motions,
walking very erect, even to the time of his death. His sons generally
resemble him in person and height.
638. George H.8 Greenleaf (Chart XXXVI.), b. Nov. 5, 1834, son
of Thomas R.7 and Mary (Hawley). Most of his life was spent in the
States of Ohio and Missouri, his father removing from New England to
Ohio, where he settled in the town of New Philadelphia. In 1885 he was
President of the Laclede County Bank, at Lebanon, Missouri, established
in 1869, which position he held for several years, and up to his death.

" Sun Tavern," in Haverhill, until his death, when it was continued by
his son William.6
His name appears in the History of Haverhill as a member of the Fire
Society, Feb. 22, 1768, as does also that of his son William,6 October, 1785.
(See Military Service.)
His son, Daniel6 Greenleaf, born April 19, 1746, was also a member
of the Fire Department in 1769, at Haverhill, Mass.
645. Rebecca Greenleaf (Chart XXXVII.), daughter of Daniel6
and Ruth (Dalton), was born in Haverhill, Mass., March 28, 1778, and
married Ephraim Beaman, son of Joseph Beaman, of Lancaster, Mass.;
they resided in Boston, Mass., until 1836.
Ephraim Beaman was born in Lancaster, Mass., Nov. 17, 1770. His
father, Joseph Beaman, was born in Lancaster, in 1733. His earliest
American ancestor on his father's side was Gamaliel Beaman, who came
to Dorchester, New England, in 1635, a lad twelve years old, and after his
marriage in Dorchester he removed, in 1659, to Lancaster, Mass.
Rev. Charles Cotesworth Beaman, son of Ephraim and Rebecca,
received his early education at Boston in the public school on School
Street,—the building standing on the ground now occupied by the City
Hall. Afterwards, at the age of thirteen, he was placed in a private school
kept by Mr. Lawson Lyon, on Federal Street, where he remained four
years. Being then seventeen years of age, and looking forward to a life
of business, he was placed in the store of Blake & McLellan, on Long
Wharf. He afterwards served as clerk in other stores until 1829, when he
went into the auction and commission business for himself in the Faneuil
Hall building. In 1834 he gave up business, to prepare for the ministry.
He took a three-year course at Andover Theological Seminary, and
graduated in 1837. He was admitted at Houlton, Me., June 20, 1839,
and served as Congregational minister in Houlton, Me., North Falmouth,
Mass., Edgartown, Mass., Wellfleet, Mass., and elsewhere until 1874, at
which time he resided in Cambridge and Boston without a charge. He
married, July xo, 1839, Mary Ann Stacey, daughter of Nymphus and
Martha (Babson) Stacey, of Wiscasset, Me. His wife died in Cambridge,
Feb. 22, 1875. Mr. Beaman was a gentleman of fine personal appearance
and of exceedingly pleasant address. His voice and manner were espe¬
cially attractive. His son, Hon. C. C. Beaman, was private secretary of
Hon. Charles Sumner, and is junior partner of the law firm of Evarts,
Choate & Beaman, of New York City.

held a similar position in the apothecary store of Mr. Gilson. In 1869 he
established himself in business, and was located for twenty years at the
corner of Spring and Brackett Streets, in Portland, as druggist and
apothecary.

MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE
BY THOSE BEARING THE NAME OF GREENLEAF.
IN presenting these records of service, the design in assigning
numbers is to give a general direction which may lead to
identify the names of those who have performed military
or naval service. In many cases these numbers have been given
from information by correspondents; in others, from historical
or other records and family tradition. In doubtful cases the
query mark (?) is placed against the calendar number, or more
than one number is given.
A few brief notes relating to some of the various services, as
*' The Siege of Louisburg," " Crown Point Expedition," etc.,
are given here chiefly for the purpose of bringing before the
reader the dates in the periods of their occurrence, and to call to
mind some special point as may relate to a service; for example,
that of Rutland, Mass., in which attention is called to the fact
that old men and boys were placed on duty there, while the
more able-bodied men were sent to the field, being better fitted
for other and more hazardous duties.
Details of service for the War of 1812 are omitted, because
of the absence of the muster rolls from our State archives.
They may be found at Washington, but were inaccessible when
looked for, because of the removal of the Library at Washington
to its new quarters. In explanation of the removal of these
muster rolls from the State archives,— and the course which
led to their removal,—it may be mentioned that Governor
Strong, when appealed to at a public meeting of the citizens of
Boston about the first of September, 1814, to take active meas¬
ures looking to the defense of the Commonwealth, at once or¬
dered defenses made along the coasts of Massachusetts and
Maine. This and similar acts on the part of the State led to a
controversy which lasted nearly twenty years, between the Com¬
monwealth of Massachusetts and the United States, which was
finally terminated on the surrender by Massachusetts of the orig¬
inal muster rolls of her troops called into service in that war;

vouchers for the long-deferred reimbursement to the State of
expenses of troops, and other costs involved in coast defense. In
this discussion the old question of Federal vs. State rights was
somewhat involved.
THE SIEGE OF LOUISBURG.
\_King George's War, 1744-49•]
In the month of March, one hundred and fifty years ago,
Governor Shirley was busily engaged in fitting out the famous
expedition, under Gen. Sir William Pepperell, which was
destined to capture that stronghold,—the Dunkirk, "the Gi¬
braltar of America,"—Louisburg, on the easterly shore of Cape
Breton.
On March 24, 1745, a fleet of some ninety transports set
sail from Boston. April 5th some of the advanced vessels were at
Canseau, where the most of them remained until the ice had
melted, the 29th of April. On May 1st and 2d a landing was
made on the shores of Cabarrus Bay; a sortie of French troops
from the garrison was overcome ; and the army under Pepperell,
about four thousand two hundred men, settled down in rude
quarters and began the famous Siege of Louisburg. These men
were unused to war, undisciplined, and had never seen a siege
in their lives. They had landed on a dangerous coast, in the
face of the enemy. With Herculean labor they dragged siege
guns over rocky hills and through morasses, and girt the fortifi¬
cations about with batteries. For more than six weeks the work
went on, aided by the British fleet under Commodore (late
Admiral) Warren, and by sheer audacity they compelled the
surrender on the 17th of June,—the day made yet more
memorable thirty years later at Bunker Hill. The keys of the
walled town, which had yielded to the "yeomanry of New
England," were received by Sir William Pepperell from Gen¬
eral Duchambon. The prizes of war exceeded in value a
million pounds.
CROWN POINT EXPEDITION, I 755.
The French, alert and aggressive, not only claimed by right
of discovery the Mississippi and its tributaries to their sources in
the Alleghanies, but had gone far to make their claim good by
encircling the English colonies with a cordon of blockhouses

and forts, from the St. Lawrence to the Ohio. Against this
French line of occupation, in 1755 four great expeditions were
planned at widely separated points : Fort Duquesne, at the head
of the Ohio River; Fort Niagara, on Lake Ontario; Crown
Point, on Lake Champlain ; and the Acadian forts at the head of
the Bay of Fundy. The first expedition met with ignominious
disaster, the second and third missed their aim, and the fourth
won inglorious victory.—JVourse's "Lancaster Annals,"
page 33.
FORT WILLIAM HENRY ALARM, 1757.
Col. Joseph Frye marched from Fort Edward, Aug. 2, 1757,
with his regiment of Massachusetts men and two hundred British
troops to succor Fort William Henry, then besieged by Mont¬
calm with an overwhelming force of French and Indians. On
the surrender of that fort, August 9th, a massacre ensued, from
which Colonel Frye and most of his men escaped with the loss
of everything but life.—Ibid., f age jp.
At the general alarm consequent upon the expectation that
Montcalm, flushed with his victory at Fort William Henry,
would make a bold push for Albany, the fourth part of the
militia of Massachusetts were hurried toward that point with all
possible speed. Captains Israel Taylor and Samuel Haskell of
Harvard, Thomas Wilder of Leominster, John Carter and
Nathaniel Sawyer of Lancaster, marched with from fifty to
sixty men each as far as Springfield, whence Montcalm, having
retreated to Canada with the rich spoils of easily bought success,
they were recalled.—Ibid., page 61.
The following order relating to calling out the citizens on
sudden emergency, is taken from the Council Records in the

THE WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE.
By a Resolve of the General Court, June 25, 1776, respon¬
sive to a request from the Continental Congress for five thou¬
sand militia to co-operate with the armies at New York and in
the department of Canada, a bounty of three pounds was prom¬
ised each volunteer, and eighteen shillings were allowed each
soldier for the use of arms and accouterments, if furnishing them
himself.
The term of service ended Dec. 1, 1776. Four battalions
were destined for Canada, and three, including all companies from
Worcester County, were to serve at New York in the Brigade of
Gen. John Fellows.
In 1891 the Legislature of Massachusetts directed the Sec¬
retary of State to prepare an indexed compilation of the records
of Massachusetts soldiers and sailors who served in the army or
navy during the Revolutionary War. For this purpose $10,000
was appropriated, and an additional sum of $5,500 was authorized
to be expended for the printing of one thousand copies of the
work, which will be distributed among public officials, libraries,
and historical and antiquarian societies, as well as one copy to
each state and territory in the Union. The work of compilation,
arduous and painstaking, has just been completed under the able
direction of J. J. Tracy, chief of the archives department of the
Secretary of State office. This history contains much data that
for years have been the secrets of documents rarely, if ever, looked

at. The names of soldiers are arranged in alphabetical order,
and against each name everything that can be identified as belong¬
ing to the individual is noted.
The scope and extent of the work may be gathered from the
fact that it will comprise from four to six volumes of one thou¬
sand pages each. It may be possible to confine the work within
four volumes, and it may be necessary to print six. The publi¬
cation is being carried on as rapidly as the State printers can per¬

RHODE ISLAND SERVICE, 1778.
In 1778 an attempt was made to recover Newport by the
combined efforts of the newly arrived French fleet, commanded
by the Count d'Estaing, and an army of ten thousand men under
Gen. John Sullivan, with Gen. Nathaniel Greene and Marquis
de Lafayette as division commanders. A plan of combined
attack was agreed upon, and on August 9th the advance
began.
The American forces occupied Quaker and Butts' Hills,
and the French troops, four thousand in number, were preparing
to disembark, when suddenly the English fleet was reported in
sight, and the Count d'Estaing, with favoring wind, went out to
meet it. Everything seemed to promise triumph ; but a tempest
of unexampled severity set in, and on the night of the 10th drove
both fleets to sea, damaging them seriously, and causing much
suffering in the camps. When, on the 20th of August, d'Estaing
again entered Newport Harbor, he deemed it necessary to pro-
166 military and naval service.
ceed at once to Boston for repairs, and abandoned the enterprise
so favorably begun. In view of the fact that reinforcements
might at any hour arrive from New York to the assistance of the
enemy, retreat was now unavoidable. On the 28th, at night,
General Sullivan abandoned his siege works and marched to'
the northern end of the island. The British veterans were the
following morning led to an assault upon the American lines,,
but were repelled by the combined force of militia and conti¬
nentals after several hours of hard fighting. In this action,,
known as the Battle of Quaker's Hill, the Massachusetts detach¬
ments won much praise. The next day the retreat was skillfully
completed without molestation; and thus ended an expedition
that for a time gave fair promise of putting a glorious end to
the war.
The Second Worcester Regiment of militia, commanded by
Col. Josiah Whitney, of Harvard, was one of those detailed for
the Rhode Island campaign, and was engaged for one month
and fifteen days from Aug. 1, 1778. Capt. Manasseh Sawyer's
company of this regiment numbered sixty-four, rank and file*

rutland barracks, 1779.
Besides the frequent calls upon the militia for troops to go
beyond the State line upon sudden alarms, or during some
temporary emergency, there were constant details for guard duty
within the State. The guards employed were many of them
boys, old men, and others unfit for field service. Extensive
barracks were built at Rutland, and the English regiments of
General Burgoyne's troops, prisoners of war, were removed
thither from Cambridge, at which place they were thought too
easily accessible if the British forces, by sudden raid from
Newport, should attempt their release. The transfer was made
during April, 1779.
shays's insurrection, 17S6-17S7.
Daniel Shays, who had been a captain in the Continental
Army, at the head of a mob of a thousand armed men or more,
took possession of Worcester, and effectually prevented the ses¬
sion of the Supreme Court in that town. At the head of another

smaller body he repeated the same operation at Springfield; but
beyond preventing the session of the courts, these insurgents do
not seem to have had any plan.
Governor Bowdoin called out at once four thousand militia,
to serve for thirty days under the command of General Lincoln.
Of these were the " Lancaster Volunteers," — "as fine a body of
men as were ever assembled." " There were in this regiment fifty
or sixty persons who have borne commissions, some of which to
command regiments in the late Continental army and militia,
who do duty in the ranks and submit to the hardships of a sol¬
dier's life in this inclement season with a spirit of patriotism and
cheerfulness which nothing but the cause they are engaged in
could inspire." The Massachusetts Centinel of January 27,
1787, in giving a list of some of the Volunteers, which list is
headed by Col. William Greenleaf, says: "On Tuesday the
16th inst. (January, 17S7), Col. Greenleaf waited on the two
companies of militia in this town, assembled agreeably to his
orders, when he communicated to them, with his usual propriety,
the importance of showing their disapprobation to the illegal
measures which have been adopted by the insurgents, and the
necessity of evidencing their attachment to the Government. . ,
. . After some calm debates on the subject, the Colonel, in
order to discover their minds, requested all who were friends to
the Government to follow him ; when, with very few exceptions,
the whole turned after him. He then informed them that
twenty-eight men were required of the two companies to support
the Court to sit at Worcester the 23d inst., and gave them oppor¬
tunity to engage voluntarily under these restrictions, viz. : who¬
ever offers his services shall be held to march, or produce an able,
effective man to the acceptance of the officer in lieu of himself;
when more than the required number promptly answered the
requisition. Col. William Greenleaf headed the list, followed
by his son William Greenleaf', Junior," who served under the
command of Col. Ephraim Stearns as Quartermaster Sergeant.
The march of this regiment from Hadley to Petersham,
thirty miles through an almost mountainous country, and during
the last part of the way facing a violent storm, was something
to be remembered for life. The drifting snow impeded their
steps, and it grew so intensely cold that the majority of the force
were frost-bitten.

MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE.
Within twelve hours of the orders to move, the advance
guard of the army had reached their, destination, it being then
Sunday morning. Shays and his "regulators" were com¬
pletely taken by surprise, and fled in hot haste, scattering in
every direction. The insurrection was practically at an end.
No one was punished for sedition, and three years later the vig¬
orous financial policy of Alexander Hamilton silenced the ma¬
jority of the grumblers.
Colonel Greenleaf afterwards became Brigadier General in
the militia of the State.

129. Stephen.7 The account of his service as a soldier in the con¬
flict with Burgoyne, written by himself in his eightieth year, is still in the
possession of a well-known local antiquarian, says the Weekly Spring¬
field Republican, 1894. He explains how with his father he was at work
in the Arms meadow, planting corn, the last of April, 1777, it being one
of the earliest seasons ever known, when his father and himself were
drafted, the papers being served by Sergt. Joseph Bates. " My father,"
he says, " being very infirm, I performed the service for us both. John
Sargeant was my Captain, and Timothy Church and Israel Smith Lieu¬
tenants. Our first march was a short one, and our second terminated at
Rutland. Its object was to intercept a division of Burgoyne's Army, said
to be advancing toward Boston by crossing the Green Mountains in the
direction from Rutland to Chaiiestown, N. H. Here we were joined by
troops from New Hampshire, commanded by Col. Warner; but not being
in sufficient force to withstand a formidable enemy, our officers held a
council and ordered a countermarch. After a very short respite from our
fatigue we returned home the second time, only to be again called out to
join Gen. Stark at Bennington. We marched, and arrived there the day
after the battle; from whence we, with a detachment from Massachusetts,
were ordered to occupy as an outpost Van Ness buildings, near Ren-
selaer's Mills and Little White Creek. After guarding this post a few
weeks the militia were dismissed, but hardly returned home before an
express came, and a new levy was ordered; and again I was on the march
for Saratoga, where we arrived, and were annexed to Col. Schuyler's
Regiment of Militia, of which Col. Rensalaer was one of the regimental
officers. Here, I was, with several other Green Mountain boys,—the draft
was made in Dummerston as well as in Brattleboro,—detached to make
up a scout for observation and discovery. The party was a large one, and
was commanded by Col. Morgan of the riflemen attached to Gates' Army.
The line of march was upon the right of the enemy's encampment, and
our route continued to the extreme rear of their position, when by coun¬
termarches we returned to headquarters and reported progress. In our
course of march two of the enemy's scouting parties were driven in,
which excited much alarm in their camp by the apparent bustle they
exhibited on the occasion. Two days afterwards commenced the decisive
battle near Stillwater, which terminated in the capture of Burgoyne and
his army. Our company was selected and ordered to attempt the raising
and floating several batteries scuttled and sunk, by the enemy, in the
river during their retreat, which we successfully accomplished. Our way
to the river led us by a redoubt newly erected by the British, where it was
MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE.
reported the remains of Gen. Fraser, of the British Armj, were interred.
Connected with this statement, there is a report in circulation that early
in the day of the Battle of Stillwater, Col. Morgan, before mentioned,
with a select party of his own regiment, was out reconnoitering on the
right wing of the enemy's encampment, when he came suddenly to a halt.
He had discovered by a glance through a glade between the trees opening
upon said redoubt, an officer on horseback, whom by his perspective he
discovered to be Gen. Fraser, of Burgoyne's Army. The question
occurred to him, Can he be reached with effect by a rifle ball? and at once
he put the question to a soldier standing by, who answered in doubt as to
his own ability, but recommended another soldier, famed as the best shot
with the best rifle in the regiment, who was immediately ordered to the
stand, and the same question put to him. ' Can you with jour rifle bring
that man to the ground whom you see yonder on horseback?' The
answer was, 'I believe I can.' Morgan remarked that he revolted at the
thought, but it was indispensably necessary that it should be done, if pos¬
sible. ' Try, soldier,'said he ; ' do your best.' It was done, and Fraser fell.
We were now ordered to pass the river and take a position on Bemis Heights,
which post we occupied till after the capitulation of Burgovne, and wit¬
nessed the surrender." Mr. Greenleaf's fellow-soldiers were Salathid Har¬
ris and Joseph Bemis, all of whom served more than six months in the army.
In 1838 only two of the twenty Brattleboro soldiers were living,—Harris
and Greenleaf. Mr. Greenleaf was subsequently commissioned a Major in
the State Militia, and his picture hangs with others in the town hall

169. William Luther.9 At the breaking out of the Civil War
he joined a company that was being formed for the 2d Regt., Vermont
Vols., but owing to the large number of men enlisting for that regiment,
the company was not accepted. He afterwards enlisted as Private in
Co. L, 1st Vermont Cavalry. Aug. 11, 1862, was made Sergt. at the
organization of the company, and was mustered into U. S- Service as
such, Sept. 29, 1862. At Hagerstown, Md., July 13, 1863, he was three
times severely wounded, and had his horse shot under him. On his
return to the regiment he was made 1st Sergt. of his company, and was
commissioned 2d Lieut., Feb. 28, 1864. In June, 1864, while on "Wil¬
son's Raid," he was again severely wounded, and fell into the hands of the
enemy. After being exchanged he was commissioned 1st Lieut., Feb. 9,
1865, and was honorably discharged for disability from wounds received
in action, June 15, 1865. He was commissioned Capt. of Co. E, 1st Regt.,
Vermont Vol. Militia, March 25, 1869, and was successively promoted
Maj., Lieut. Col., and Col. of his regiment. He was elected by the
Legislature to the office of Brig. Gen., Dec. 1, 1886, and as such com¬
manded the entire State Militia until Dec. 1, 1892, when he was retired
upon his own application. The order retiring him says: "The Com¬
mander-in-Chief takes this occasion to convey to Brig. Gen. Greenleaf
his high appreciation of his long and faithful service of nearly twenty-
seven years, and to extend the thanks of the State for the part taken by
him in bringing the National Guard of Vermont to its present state of
discipline and efficiency. In accordance with the provisions of the Act
creating a retired list, he is the first officer to be placed thereon, and is
entitled to wear the uniform of his rank on all occasions of ceremony."
He became a member of the Grand Army of the Republic soon after its
organization, and held at various times the positions of Post Commander,
Assistant Quartermaster General, and Department Commander. He also
joined the Military Order of the Loyal Legion at the organization of the
Vermont Commandery, in 1891, and was elected its first Recorder, which
position he still holds.

EXPLANATORY.
The arrangement of numbering and indexing is as follows :
The sons bearing the name of Greenleaf and who have married,
are, with few exceptions, numbered in bold type consecutively
from Edmund to Samuel, 1-666. These are called calendar
numbers.
Numbers at the heads of lists of children are the parents'
calendar numbers. For example: We desire to find the record
of the parents of Abner5 Greenleaf, whose calendar number is
619. We find at head of list of his brothers and sisters 29, which
is the calendar number of Nathaniel4and Judith (Coffin) Green¬
leaf, the parents of Abner5 619. To trace the lineage to the
common ancestor, continue thus : Turning to calendar 29 we
find date of birth, marriage, and death of Nathaniel4 and his wife
Judith (Coffin). So likewise at head of this list of children we
find the calendar number of Tristram3 and Margaret (Piper) 15,
parents of Nathaniel; and then turning to the calendar number
15, we find at the head of the list of children Stephen2 3 ; turn¬
ing to calendar number 3, we find Stephen2 as the son of Ed¬
mund Greenleaf, the common ancestor.
The records of the families of the daughters are all placed
with their parents. In the index, they and unmarried sons
bearing the name of Greenleaf take the calendar number of their
parents. For example, Sarah Greenleaf, b. March 5, 1721, who
m. Joseph Whittier, is found in the index as having her father's
calendar number, 29 ; the records of her children and grand¬
children form paragraphs with her parents, Nathaniel4 and
Judith (Coffin) Greenleaf.
The designation of families by "charts" in "Personal
History," refers to the term used by Rev. Jonathan Greenleaf
in his " Genealogy of the Greenleaf Family," published in 1854.
This is retained for the convenience of those who have that book :
it is omitted from this section for the reason that the method of
indexing and numbering here used is better adapted to the larger
number of names and families given.
The star (*) in Military and Naval Service refers to the un¬
married men, and the calendar number is that of their parents.

A NAME.
The name the Gallic exile bore,
St. Malo ! from thy ancient mart,
Became upon our Western shore
Greenleaf for Feuillevert.
A name to hear in soft accord
Of leaves by light winds overrun,
Or read, upon the greening sward
Of May, in shade and sun.
That name my infant ear first heard
Breathed softly with a mother's kiss;
His mother's own, no tenderer word
My father spake than this.
No child have I to bear it on;
Be thou its keeper; let it take
From gifts well used and duty done
New beauty for thy sake.
The fair ideals that outran
My halting footsteps seek and find—
The flawless symmetry of man,
The poise of heart and mind.
Stand firmly where I felt the sway
Of every wing that fancy flew;
See clearly where I groped my way,
Nor real from seeming knew.
And wisely choose, and bravely hold
Thy faith unswerved by cross or crown,
Like the stout Huguenot of old
Whose name to thee comes down.
As Marot's songs made glad the heart
Of that lone exile, haply mine
May in life's heavy hours impart
Some strength and hope to thine.
(iSS)
A NAME.
Yet when did Age transfer to Youth
The hard-gained lessons of its day?
Each lip must learn the taste of truth,
Each foot must feel its way.
We cannot hold the hands of choice
That touch or shun life's fateful keys;
The whisper of the inward voice
Is more than homilies.
Dear boy! for whom the flowers are born,
Stars shine, and happy song-birds sing,
What can my evening give to morn,
My winter to thy spring?
A life not void of pure intent,
With small desert of praise or blame,
The love I felt, the good I meant,
I leave thee with my name.
John Greenleaf Whittier.
This poem was addressed to Mr. Whittier's grandnephew, Greenleaf
Whittier Pickard.*
To an inquiry about the legend of the Greenleaf family, in allud¬
ing to St. Malo, Mr. Whittier wrote : "I have for a long time heard the
tradition of itand after quoting the passage in the Greenleaf genealogy,
published in 1854, which refers to the Huguenot origin of the family, he
says: "I am not sure that the old Greenleaf embarked from the port of
St. Malo, but as that was the port from whence many of the persecuted
exiles came, I took the liberty of using it in my verse. Marot was a some¬
what celebrated French poet of the sixteenth century. He was inclined to
the Protestant faith, and wrote the hymns of the Huguenots."f

Of John and Mary no record has been found by the compiler to
authenticate the tradition that they were children of Edmund
Greenleaf, but the names of the children of John and his
wife Hannah are nearly all found among the children and
grandchildren of the family; and bearing the name (John) of
the father of Edmund, the probabilities appear to justify
placing them with the children of Edmund, with this state¬
ment of uncertainty. In Vol. xxi. of the N. E. Hist. Geneal.
Register, page 250, is a letter from H. G. Somerby, dated
London, Sept. 10, 1866, giving a list of early settlers in New
England whose English ancestry he had either discovered or
verified. Among the one hundred or more names are Green-

At sixteen years of age Eleanor Calvert, of Maryland, a descendant
of Lord Baltimore, married John Park Custis, son of Mrs.
Washington. He died at Yorktown during the siege. His
widow and four children lived at Mt. Vernon; two of them,
George Washington Park Custis (father of Mrs. Robert E. Lee)
and Nellie Custis (who married Colonel Lewis, Washington's
nephew), appear with their mother in Rosciter's painting of
Mt. Vernon. Mrs. Custis married again, Dr. David Stuart,
her first husband's executor and her Children's guardian. This
second marriage was approved by both General and Mrs.
Washington, as shown by letters and valuable gifts, now in
possession of Miss Rebecca L. Webster and her sister, Mrs.
Judge Magruder. Doctor and Mrs. Stuart lived about two
miles from Mt. Vernon.
William Eugene Webster was educated at West Point, and was an
officer in the Confederate service. He was drawn into the
Confederate cause by his attachment to General Lee, and Mrs.
Lee, who was his cousin. He was in the seven-day fight
before Richmond, Va., and was killed in the battle of Cold
Harbor, and is buried in Richmond. His name is inscribed
on a monument in Alexandria, Va., recently erected jin mem¬

The name on the marriage record at Salem is Mary (the names
Mercy and Mary were frequently used by the same person).
On all the deeds, five in number, where she and her husband
sold land, she is called and signs her name Mercy Greenleaf.
Mr. Greenleaf was a ship carpenter by trade, and was in the
employ of Edmund Cottle, a ship builder at Newbury, Mass.,
and after his death, the administration of the estate was
granted to Joseph Greenleaf, Jr., April 13, 1761. Ezra Cottle,
probably father of Edmund, commenced ship building at
Newbury, in 1698.

The " Royal American Magazine, a Universal Repository of Instruction and Amuse¬
ment," was the last magazine established previous to the Revolution. Its first number,
January, 1774, bore this imprint: "America; Boston. Printed and sold at Greenleaf's
Printing Office, in Union Street near the conduit, where subscriptions continue to be taken
in." It was published for six months, and then suspended; but Joseph Greenleaf revived
and continued it until the following April, when " the war put a period to the magazine."
Each number was embellished with two copper-plate engravings, most of which were
designed and engraved as indicated by the imprint, " Paul Revere, Sculp." Some were
crude, but most of them have an historical value. He produced for the magazine several
portraits of historic personages. Then follows a list of the different engravings which
appeared in this magazine, and for the last number, March, 1775, his "America in distress,"
for the engraving of which appears this charge in his day book: April 1, 1775. Joseph

The Gazetteer of Maine.
Mr. William Dodd, of Boston, early purchased of the State the township which is now
Williamsburg in Piscataquis County, which was afterwards named after his Christian
name. Moses Greenleaf (52S), Mr. Dodd's agent and surveyor, settled there in 1S10. The
town has a noted pre-eminence in its locality in one respect, for in it the first map of Maine
was plotted, and the first book of the County written. The work was " Greenleaf's Statistics-
of Maine," issued as early as 1S16, intended to explain his map—previously published. This
book he afterward enlarged and amended, issuing it in 1S29 as the " Survey of Maine."
The first mentioned book had 154 pages, the last 46S. He issued a new map, enlarged and
improved, at the same time with the latter volume. The plantation was organized in 1819,
and Eben Greenleaf (529) being chosen first plantation clerk. The highest elevation of
lands in the town is " Greenleaf's Hill," named in honor of one of its first and most
distinguished settlers, viz., Moses Greenleaf.
Legal changes of name, approved Feb. 6, 1S39. "John Greenleaf Cloutman, Jane
Cloutman, Elizabeth Cloutman, and Charles Cloutman of Portland, be severally allowed to
take the name of Greenleaf for their surnames."—[Private and Special Laws of the State of
Maine, 1839.] Perhaps others unaccounted for may have had their names changed to
Greenleaf.
The Greenleaf Law Library, incorporated February, 1867.
The Law Library belonging to the Cumberland Bar Association of Portland, Maine,
came to an end in the great fire of that city, luly 4, 1866. Soon after Mrs. Mary Longfellow,
widow of Mr. James Greenleaf (547), of Cambridge, Mass., hearing of the loss, tendered the
law library of her late husband, which had descended from his father, Professor Simon
Greenleaf, formerly of Portland, as a gift to the Bar, which was gratefully accepted. It
consisted of 1,269 volumes. This has been increased by the purchase of many other
volumes, so that the Greenleaf Law Library of the Cumberland Bar is now one of the finest
and most useful in the State.

years, and Susan, his wife, followed him there in 1620 in the ship "Jonathan," together
with his son Thomas and daughter Ann. In the same record the name of William
Greenleaf is given as a passenger in the ship " William and John" to the Island of St.
Christophers in September, 1635, from the port of London. William died September, 1635.

Hartford Daily Times, Saturday, June 22, 1895.
In referring to a letter from Mr. James E. Greenleaf as to the authorship of the famous
campfire and marching song, "John Brown's Body," the Times says :—
"It seems the ' Glory, Glory, Hallelujah,' was originally an old Methodist refrain;
but Mr. Greenleaf's inspiration put the refrain and the tune to a sudden use and almost
world-wide popularity."
(The song was originated by the compiler when at Fort Warren, in 1S61. The music
was an old hymn. The words, as sung, were applied by the soldiers in a spirit of frolic
to a comrade by the name of Brown, who had met with a slight mishap. Mr. Greenleaf
started the singing, and the soldiers added fresh verses as they marched around the
grounds. The words and air were so strikingly martial that he wrote them out from
memory the same night, and they were shortly after played by the garrison, P. S. Gilmore's
2d Battalion of Infantry, Band, from whence the song spread throughout the army.)
