Several of these columns were for special counts, and not to be included in the aggregate total. Doing so would have resulted in counting some individuals twice. Census takers were asked to use double lines, red ink or some other method of distinguishing these columns so that double counting would not occur. For example, the count of free white males between 16 and 18 was a special count, because these individuals were also supposed to be tabulated in the column for free white males of age 16 and under 26. The other special counts were foreigners not naturalized, persons engaged in agriculture, persons engaged in commerce, and persons engaged in manufacture.

Census takers were also instructed to count each individual in only one of the occupational columns. For example, if an individual was engaged in agriculture, commerce, and manufacture, the census taker had to judge which one the individual was primarily engaged i

"Fairweather Purchase"

 

The old deeds refer frequently to the Fairweather purchase, but as there is no deed on record in Kent of this property a search was made through the old colonial records where it was found that in 1707 there was a large tract of land granted to Hon. Nathaniel Gold, Peter Burr and several others of Fairfleld for a township in what is now the southern portion of Kent and the northern portion of New Milford, and that they in turn sold a part or all of it to Robert Silliman, Richard Hubbell and Benjamin Fairweather of Fairfleld." That contained some 3,800 acres and was six miles in length from east to west and three hundred rods wide. When the owner died the large tract was divided between his heirs.

 

 

 

Amos Northrop b ~ 1776-80 (census dates)

I have very little solid data for the parentage of my Amos, my ggg grandfather(see bottom of page). I've checked and rechecked the documented Amos Northrops and none of them fit. Amos' branch is "unconnected" in the A. Judd Northrop genealogy with a birth "probably Chatham, NY ~ 1778"( While it's possible he was born in Chatham, NY, there are no direct connections to Northrop families in that part of NY--There are some Northrop to Amenia/Fishkill, NY
Perhaps he was born in Chatham/Canaan, New Lebanon, while visiting Elisha Alvord In-laws, the Alvords, who had connections to Chatham, CT and David's brother Elisha lived in Canaan (1810 census), adjacent to Chatham. Canaan was reportedly named for settlers arriving from Canaan, CT Cannan, NY was on the Albany-Boston stagecoach route. I understand it was not unusual for the mother to stay with family when she was pregnant -- more commonly her family.).
A number of the places where Amos lived have numerous connections to the names we see for his daughter-in-law and grandchildren (link to grandchildren) Alvord, Burr, Fenn, Elmore Ives. (some of these names may be from both the Alvord and the Northrop sides (Elmore, Burr, ?)

. Both my father's parents died young and thus he lost a good deal of family information.

In addition to family names and census data,there are a few family documents that may offer some other clues.
1) "a genealogical record" that points to William 1694 of Greefield as an ancestor.
It is perhaps penned by a generation as early as Sarah Wakeman Alvord, my gg grandmother(d. 1886)After comparing the day books of gg grandfather Alvin (d. 1875), I think the size of the handwriting is too large to be his. Document could also be from a later generation.
There is also an Ira of Vermont on the sheet -- I become more persuaded that the Ira connection is Ira of New Milford. A nephew?second or third cousin?

Ira Northrop 1 b. 1 JUN 1799 in Newtown, Fairfield Co., CT 2 s/o Jared Northrop b: 1 MAY 1774 in Newtown & Lucretia Hard d/o Niram Hard  &: Sarah Birdseye Curtiss) b: ABT 1776 in Newtown m. 1 Abigail Joyce b: 1799 in Sherman, CT Married: 24 DEC 1820 1Children
Has No   Children George R Northrop b: 5 NOV 1822 in CT,
Has Children Nelson William Northrop b: 19 MAY 1824 in New Milford,
Has Children Jane A Northrop b: 24 SEP 1825 in New Milford,
Has No Children Emily M Northrop b: 1828 in CT

The name Nelson could suggest a connection to Nelson Alvord?
The name HARD is found in nearby census records for MyAmos.
The Birdseye Curtiss connection (Elmore Curtiss) (Curtiss Isaiah Northrop) (Thomas Grant Northrop Curtiss)


2) a list of known family from a second cousin Susan link link2

3) an Aunt's correspondence referencing the possibility of some scandal or disreputable part of the family's history. She says there is " nothing of which to be ashamed on the Jennings side of the family". Might or might not be a scandal today. Could be anything from
involvement with abolition and/or the underground railway, connections with the Native American missionary movement in Cornwall, religious dissent, Quaker connection , disgrace of cancer, to murder, theft, suicide.
I think I may have found a less obvious Northrop scandal!! link

4) Census lists

Apparent connections to several Northrop lines leading me to speculate a kissing cousin match along the way. It's also quite possible the connections include multiple marriages, or step-parent relationships. The William1694 and Jeremiah lines seem to have connections to myAmos.

Besides the direct family connections, the generation of youngsters born 1770-1780, (the decade when myAmos was probably born) were the first to become adults in the new country. The slightly older ones may have shared service during the Revolution. (16 and older were subject to conscription.) Perhaps they shared a more adventurous spirit, more dislocation, directed to exploration, invention & industry than earlier generations and experienced the hardships and deprivations of wartime. "The War of the Revolution impoverished where it did not devastate. For many years there was practically no money." Conditions requiring greater adaptability to make a living -- and a different spirit. " The spiritual destitution of the period was even greater than the material. Skepticism and infidelity were rampant, and the church that held its own did well."

Were they Generation "R" (Revolution)?
They must have known other children of about the same age -- at least in the same town. Although they probably went to different schoolhouses, they would have attended the same churches, been sent to the same merchants, etc. Even from towns that were not adjacent, it is likely that knew of other young people in other partishes even if they did not know them.

They must have known children who died young, Tory families who moved away, families that moved to Vermont, Pennsylvania, New York and farther west. Were they more adventurous, more independent. Did the revolution make them more self-reliant at an earlier age?

I've questioned the reasons for Amos (and some usual suspects) to move from place to place. I'm led to believe there's some connection to emerging manufacturing efforts of some sort. There is also a possibility that there were some religious links. LINK

My current speculation is some kissing cousin link between descendants of William of Greenfield (1694) and descendants of Jeremiah1651-54 with a dash of Samuel 1651.

With the clues of the "genealogy document", I started with William.

This is about 1800 but the landscape is probably similar a decade or two earlier

It is tempting to surmise some connection to Orville Howard Northrop who ends up in the Southport area in the later 1880s


"380. Orville Howard Northrop; letter from Congregational Church, Wallingford, Conn., Sept, 5, 1884; letter to First Congregational Church, Danbury, Conn., Oct. 16, 1885.
381. Mrs. Clara LePine (Welby) Northrop, wife of Orville Howard Northrop; letter from Congregational Church, Wallingford, Conn., Sept. 5, 1884; letter to First Congregational Church, Danbury, Conn., Oct. 16, 1885. "

from The Southport Congregational church, Southport, Connecticut, March 7, 1843-November 30, 1915; an historical sketch, together with the confession, the covenant (1915)

And it fits in with a family scandal with being in the Josiah Northrop (b. 28 MAY 1759 Ridgefield d. 17 JUL 1797 Ridgefield) with his death "by hanging himself on a tree with a rope ... he being insane".

However I was unable to find any way this fits with the known facts about Amos. It is also possible he had a connection to the Alvords through Torrington "Occupation: Tinner by trade, well learned in his calling, Thomaston, Connecticut Residence: 1859 Ridgefield Residence: Thomaston, Litchfield Co.

I have looked for the Fenn (william Fenn) anf francis, frances. Two possibilities Guy B. Fenn b: 7 JAN 1808 in CT and Jane Wakeman b: 18 JUN 1808. with a Daughter, Mabel who is listed as a Doctor.

It could also be a reference to an early Wakeman

Wakeman, Frances 15 JUN 1687 Ivinghoe, Bucks., England DEC 1768 Pitstone, Bucks., England Father: Thomas Wakeman Mother: Frances Seabrook Spouse: John Fenn

a possible Winthrop

Approximate 1766 town lines on a 1930 map. The early Fairfield Parish included half of Westport (incl Greens Farms), part of Bridgeport, the majority of Weston and Easton perhaps a half of Redding and perhaps little bits of Trumbull, Wilton and Newtown.
1830
The original Fairfield - the northern portion was Greenfield. Later some maps have Weston embracing both Weston and Easton.

Milford, to the east embraced Orange Woodbridge & Bethany. Later Amity became a society with most of Woodbridge and Bethany.

Stratford extended up to Newtown.
Derby (including Ansonia & Derby was an inland port very early.)

The same families keep marrying each other again and again across many generations. Often family married first and second cousins. link marrying cousins

Following my "genealogy document" clue, I've started with the William1694 line and looked for "kissing cousins".

Possible William 1794 descendants as MyAmos' father
descendants of Lois Northrup 1733 * m. 1 John Northrup Jr. (s/o John and Mary Porter)(Jeremiah line)
This line is a prime candidate having both William and Jeremiah connections. Peter
is a prime candidate * the right age for MyAmos father, *census also shows an additional child.

Looks like not mentioned in distribution of estate.
descendants of Nehemiah Northrop 1736 m. Anna Clark An undocumented son between other kids 1771-1779?? There are a number of Clarks in Washington CT
descendants of Caleb Northrup 1738 m ?

With some census connections to other Northrop lines, I think it likely that MyAmos is descended from a "Kissing Cousin" match.

from 1790 census Newtown lots of Northrops
Litchfield and New Milford show multiple family names.

These are current town lines. Earlier divisions included broader areas.

Here is my flight of fantasy:

Amos was the child of Nehemiah son of William1694 or of Peter grandson of William1694 Probably born in Newtown.

We don't know if he had an education beyond the local schools or if he went to an academy. We don't know the profession or have information on any apprenticeships.

It looks like he ended up in some profession associated with the iron industry or mills (of some variety) adjacent to one of several industrial areas in Macedonia, Kent, Woodville, Washington or something in Woodbury.

Several points would support Nehemiah as his father:

  1. Nehemiah's wife, Anna Clark and her family have connections to Woodbury - later Washington, ct
  2. Anna's Neice Lois Prindle (dau of Lois) m. David Lambert (s/o David Lambert & Martha Northrop - a descendant is connected to Southport Northrops
  3. Anna Clark's cousin Anna/Hannah Clark of Judea m. Daniel Fenn in Washington.
  4. Nehemiah was b. Greenfild, appears to be in Newtown most of 1760-1782. son caleb born Galway Saratoga in 1763. Census 1790& 1800 in Newtown, 1810 galway Amos 1810 ? Galway or Woodbridge, Derby?. 1820 galway. I have not been able to find any Revolutionary service. as early as 1787 ballston spa had a hotel to accomodate visitors. 1803 the large sans souci hootel was builtThe Erie Canal is famous in song and story. Proposed in 1808 and completed in 1825, the canal links the waters of Lake Erie in the west to the Hudson River in the east. An engineering marvel when it was built, some called it the Eighth Wonder of the World. (ground was broken in 1817. http://www.eriecanal.org/ not authorized til 1817 http://ballstonhistory.angelfire.com/

The Northrops at least William, Jeremiah and Samuel purchased, were willed or granted property (Maybe some of it Fairweather "purchase") around Washington, Warren, Roxbury, Bethlehem that was not settled in their lifetime. The property descended through several branches of the family. After the Revolution, some of the younger Northrops (those who did not expect to inherit a good estate or maybe those who were interested in mills, manufacturing etc.) took up residence yielding a mix of Northrop young people. Some moved on to teaching or farming and some moved around according to the opportunities for mills, mining, ironworks or manufacturing. I think MyAmos moved around in this way - Kent (probably Macedonia area) near the Ironworks, Woodville (Washington /Kent border)by Mills, ironworks and maybe New Preston by Mills & Ironworks or Torrington by mills and manufacturing. (The Torrington location may be My Amos or possibly a son of MyAmos. Either may also be the Amos who married Susan Chauggum descendant of the "Barkhamsted Lighthouse") making a connection to Barkhamsted. If so I would imagine Amos would have been aquainted with Jesse Ives who ran the tavern.

The Barkhamsted Lighthouse was between Pleasant Valley and Riverton now part of a Park.

David Alvord (son of John & Sarah Wakeman of Greens Farms)& wife Abigail Jennings move to Litchfield. The 1790 Litchfield census shows "David Alverd" 10300 between to Chamberlain & Bacon, Series: M637  Roll: 1  Page: 363 also 1790 Elisha "Alverd" Series: M637  Roll: 1  Page: 365 [The 1790 Litchfield census included many other surrounding towns . (Although not far from Rev. Hezekiah GOLD (II)1731 Cornwall, CT minister of Cornwall 1754-86 d.29 MAY 1791 & wife Elizabeth WAKEMAN1745 perhaps a second or third cousin and also from Westport, I haven't found any indication of the Alvords in Cornwall at he time. There are Millards in Cornwall and later Cornwall connection may be through that branch. This is also the Rev Hezekiah Gold grandfather to the Harriet Gold who married a Cherokee student of Cornwall Mission School (Rev Gold)> Thomas Ruggles Gold1733>Harriet Ruggles Gold m. Elias Boudinot in Cornwall 1826

David Alvord probably remains in the area for the rest of his life. All his children are reported to have been born in Kent, but I can't find him in census records. We don't know his profession, but there is a tradition of Shoe and Bootmaking in his line. His brother John manufactured boots & Shoes and employed other workmen in the northern part of Greenfield parish (Redding? Georgetown? Easton? Weston?) wife Elizabeth Bulkley "His wife was a remarkable woman for those days. She was passionatly fond of learning and embraced every opportunity to learn the news of the day. So eager was she, that frequently, after receiving the weekily newspaper, she would sit up almost the entire night to read." There appears to be some Weston connection was there a connection to the William Wakeman (underground railroad conductor) with the Alvords??? Right now these are only speculations...perhaps .. I've only found a census reference in 1790 Litchfield along with David's brother Elisha.

No stone found. The death record of Washington, CT- Has his birth as Kent age at death 69 in Washington, but by the time he was buried in Warren Cemetery he was age 79 (I believe this is ~ the correct age.). Amos Death Washington confirmed Town Clerk Washington Confirmed burial with the Warren Town Clerk's Office burial on May 18, 1855, age 79.F. B. Taylor, Warren Sexton Warren Congregational Church.'The Church of Christ was established in May 1750 as, "The East Greenwich Society of Kent" by division of "The First Society." Since then the church has been known as "The Congregational Society of Warren", "The First Ecclesiastical Society of Warren", The First Congregational Church of Warren"

Warren
This area was settled in 1737 as part of the Town of Kent. A separate ecclesiastical society called the Society of East Greenwich, established in 1750, led to the founding of a church in 1756 and a separate town in 1786. It was named in honor of General Joseph Warren, hero of the Revolutionary War, who was slain in the battle of Bunker Hill.
In the first century and a half of its life, Warren not only sent forty-three of its men into that war but later, even though engaged mainly in farming, the Town became known as an educational center. Five private schools and academies produced fifteen ministers and educators. Among them were Charles G. Finney, revivalist and president of Oberlin College 1851-1866, and Julian M. Sturtevant, minister and president of Illinois College 1844-1876.
During a half century commencing in 1772, more than 2837 Warren emigrants took part in settling new territories to the north and west.

b. ~1766

Amos Northrop came to
Fairfield, from Fairfield, Connecticut,
in 1792, and located where Thomas
Hale now resides. Here he resided
until his death, in 1849, aged eightythree years. During the war of 1812, he started to market, at Plattsburg, with a load of oats, and upon his arrival there was pressed into the service of the United States, and sent with his team to Sackett’s Harbor, to transport soldiers and supplies, and was retained from home from January until March. During a portion of this time he was obliged to camp in the forest with no protection from the weather, and thereby had his feet frozen so badly that a portion of the right foot had to be amputated. He reared a family of four sons and three daughters, only one of whom, Horation, residing at East Fairfield, is living. Moved after 1788 other residents Thomas Northrup, Abram Northrup Thomas Northrup, from Sherman, Conn., came to the forests of Fairfield in 1790, about age 24 and settled upon a farm of 140 acres which he had purchased from one of his brothers, an original proprietors of the town, paying therefore $100.00. Upon this he made a small clearing, planted some corn, and cut some hay from a beaver meadow, and also erected a small log cabin, then returned to Connecticut. In the following spring he started for his new home with a yoke of oxen and one horse hitched to a heavy sled, upon which was placed his household effects and provisions for his family, consisting of his wife and three children. After a long and tedious journey, he arrived here and commenced his useful life, remaining in this town until his death. He had a family of four sons and seven daughters, only one of whom, Harmon Northrop, is now living, at the age of eighty-seven years. Harmon has been a deacon of the Congregational church, to which he has been a pillar for the past fifty years. He has held nearly all the
offices in the gift of the town, and has also held the office of county
commissioner four years, and was president of the Franklin County Agricultural Society three years. The great regard felt for his opinion and
advice is attested by the fact that he has assisted in the settlement of, or
settled independently, sixty-one estates. 1791, at the home of Joseph Wheeler who was chosen Moderator and town treasurer. Edmund Town was chosen town clerk, Levi Wakeman, Salmon Wheeler, Abram
Northrup and David Hoit, Listers; and Nathan Lobdell,
John Leach, Sr., was born as New Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1735, and came to Fairfield, Vermont, in 1789, locating in the southern part of the town. He reared a family of fourteen children, all but two of whom settled in the town, and died in 1811. John Leach, Jr., born at New Fairfield, in 1761, came here in 1788, made some improvements on a farm, and returned to Fairfield, Connecticut. In the spring of 1789, he returned, bringing his wife and two children, and located permanently upon the farm now owned by Mr. Oliver, on road 21

Three of Job's children lived with William after the death of their father, Job. Job was William's brother, hence the uncle of the children listed above ,making the three listed below first cousins to William and Johanna's children.

Cousin or Uncle Isaiah connections - Huntington 1790 census, Monroe, Newtown Perinton Fairport Monroe County NY, military Lanesboro, MA moved back and forth between NY and Monroe C. More pure speculation Isaiah has son Elijah -- perhaps the one in Washington who would have grown up with William 1694's grandchildren. Elijah's move to Mass because of porter/northrop connections and sells/rent/ passes on house to Amos Northrop??? Elijah and Amos would have been about the same age. I'm now thinking the connection among the Washington, CT Northrops/Northrups is through other branches of the family.

Ammi Phillips
 

(b Colebrook, CT, 24 April 1788; d Curtisville, MA, 11 July 1865). 

American painter. Apparently self-taught, he began his prolific and successful career as a portrait painter c. 1811. During his lifetime, he moved several times across the borders of New York, western Connecticut and Massachusetts in search of commissions. Like many of the itinerant artists of the 19th century, he struggled to achieve pictorial solutions and a distinctive style, yet he developed so dramatically that historians originally classified his paintings as the work of two different artists: ‘The Border Limner’ and ‘The Kent Limner’. The earliest works, from his ‘Border’ period (c. 1812–19), are marked by simple forms, shaded outlines and soft, pastel colours. They include ambitious full-length portraits (e.g. Harriet Leavensc. 1815; Cambridge, MA, Fogg) as well as three-quarter and bust-length examples (Dr Russell Dorrc. 1814–15; Williamsburg, VA, Rockefeller Flk A. Col.). In the 1820s he experimented with techniques and formats, developing an attention to detail and naturalism that suggests the influence of Albany portrait painter Ezra Ames. By the 1830s, the decade of his ‘Kent’ portraits, his compositions present his sitters as large, stylized shapes that nearly fill the canvas, while his use of rich, saturated colours creates striking contrasts of light and dark. Typically in this decade, his female sitters are shown leaning forward while male sitters sit upright with one hand draped over a chairback. Among his most appealing and successful works are portraits of children from this period. Blond Boy with Primer, Peach and Dog(c. 1838) exemplifies the bold simplicity of his compositions and the dramatic success of his designs. After the 1840s he returned to more conventional poses, and by the late 1850s his work showed the influence of photography. He continued to work at least until 1862, the year of his last dated paintings.

Probably an 1830s work. Not sure if this Lewis is any relation. It's possible this is Northrop, Lewis ABT 1776 Newtown, CT & Betty Northrop d/o William 1694, but the look a bit younger than their 50s.
     



 

193 Seymour Road B Northrop home

The house faces south at the corner of Bethmour Road. There is a millpond with a dam constructed of rubble with a concrete cap to the rear.

193 Seymour Road is a small Cape built about 1840. The original three-bay main block (27' x 33') has an original recessed wing on the north elevation and an open porch on the south. Both the wing and the main block have center chimneys and both slopes of the main roof display three small gabled dormers. The facade new displays three windows but may have once contained a central doorway. The entrance is now on the east (rear) elevation and sheltered by a hipped roof porch.

This house was built about 1840 by the Northrop family who were in the lumber business and maintained a sawmill on the property. The Northops were an old settler family in Woodbridge. Job Northrop (1731-1813), the first of the line to settle here, was a great-grandson of the Joseph Northrup who emigrated from. England with the Davenport-Eaton company that settled New Haven. This house was probably built by Bela Northrop, the son of Jedediah, and served as a miller's house for at least the rest of the nineteenth century. The house and the mill to the rear (no longer extant) passed to Belas's son, Allen Northrop (b. 1813), who was recorded in the 1870 federal census as living here with his wife (?) Jane and son, Frank G. Frank, who then was an eighteen-year old blacksmith apprentice, succeeded his father in the business, according to the history of the town written by the Reverend S. P. Marvin, which appeared in Rockey's county history.

Northrops are on the northern border wod what is now woodbridge -- almost southern bethany on the north west side probably bordering Seymour. Both Match factories, Grist Mill and Cider Mill are on Bladen's Brook. M Northrop (1868) is on the woodbridge bethany line, but just about the middle east to west. There are more mills further south where it is called the Wopowaug River Saw, Grist, Cier and Turning Mill.. SE of the town there was a Whetstone Quarry. The West River, close to the Old Litchfield turnpike (ironicalyy on the east side of woodbridge) has some mills as well

BUSINESS ENTERPRISES IN HUMPHREYSVILLE.

In May, 1822, the Humphreysville Manufacturing Company was re-organized with $50,000 capital, and the General Humphreys mill property purchased by it; John H. De Forest being president, and J. Fisher Learning, secretary.

Among the persons induced by General Humphreys to come to America was Thomas Gilyard, son of Edmund and Nancy Gilyard, born in Leeds, England, March 20, 1786, who came to New York in the " Commerce" in the summer of 1807, having had a very fine passage of forty-five days. He immediately commenced work for General Humphreys's Company and continued until March 28, 1810, in the manufacture of cloths, when he learned and engaged in the making of stockings, a new department in the mills. Mr. Gilyard was an active man in the Methodist Church, and his descendants still reside in the community. While General Humphreys was organizing his company of young operatives in the factory, and drilling them in soldierly tactics for their entertainment and elevation, Lady Humphreys, wife of the General, made an elegant silk flag, beautifully embroidered by herself, for the company, and which is still preserved, with its inscription, as follows :

" Humphreysville, Jam Nova Progenes, Perseverando Pacta Semper Servanda, MDCCCX."

This shows that the enterprise had attained to good working order and numbers at that, date, 1810, and from that time until 1814 the village was lively and prosperous, a variety of manufacturing enterprises being conducted in the village and its vicinity on Little river and Bladen's brook. After the date mentioned the influx of foreign goods almost put an end to American manufacturing, and Humphreysville suffered with all other places, but upon the organization of the new company in 1822, it took a fresh start and made slow but steady progress until 1837, when political times severely affected the whole country, or a crisis in the country affected politics. The new company rebuilt the dam, widened the water-course to the mill, and constructed the machinery into a cotton mill, by which name it was known many years. There was then one store in the valley and one on the hill near the Episcopal Church. Mr. De Forest lived at first in the Roth house, on the west side of Main street, opposite Pearl, until he built the house now occupied by Raymond French, Esq., in which he resided until his death.

The shop in the fork of the road near the M. E. Church was built in 1825 by Newel Johnson ; Isaac Kinney and Jesse Smith owning a portion of the building, which was used as a carpenter and cabinet shop.

In 1828 Samuel R. Hickox, a local preacher from Southbury, settled in the place and took charge of the grist-mill near the Falls. About this time Judson English came from Hotchkisstown, now Westville, and bought the tannery on the premises now owned by Arthur Rider, previously run by Mr. Benham; the bark-mill being further south on the brook just below the railroad crossing. About ten years later Mr. English sold this property to George Kirtland and removed to Great Hill.

In 1830 Leverett Pritchard was living on the knoll opposite the saw-mill still standing near the upper end of Maple street; having previous to this resided in the house in the rear of Doct. J. Kendall's.

Chester Jones, a paper-maker, built the north " Kirtland house" and kept a store in it. He afterward removed to Ohio, returning in a year or two, and was for several years superintendent of the Humphreysville Manufacturing Company's paper mill, residing in the house close by it. His wife was the daughter of Dea. Bradford Steele. He afterwards removed to Erie, Penn., where he died. Ezekiel Gilbert, having kept store for a time at Squantuck, came to Humphreysville about this time and kept the tavern on Broad street nearly two years, when he built the store now occupied by H. W. Randall.

Such were the beginnings of the enterprises in the village of Humphreysville, a place that is now alive with machinery and manufacturing ability and appliances, and is capable of becoming much greater than it now is by the development of its water-powers.

One- hundred years of manufacturing enterprises have made great changes in the place, but not as many as have been made in Birmingham and Ansonia in fifty years.

THE COTTON MILL.

The Humphreysville Manufacturing Company, organized in 1810, produced first woolen cloths, then cotton goods, and in 1831 commenced making paper, first with four employes, but increased the number within a month to sixteen. In 1843 this paper-mill passed into the hands of Hodge & Company; the firm consisting of G. L. Hodge, S. Y. Beach and Samuel Roselle; and in 1845 William Buffum purchased the cotton mill and continued its proprietor a few months. In 1850 Sharon Y. Beach bought the claims of the other two proprietors in the paper-mill and removed it to Blue street, where it still remains.

Great have been the changes between that day and the present. The whole territory is filled with buildings and immense manufacturing establishments, a full account of which may be found in Mr. Wm. C. Sharpe's " History of Seymour and Vicinity," a book which is of great value because of the many facts collected and recorded in it. Every family in the town should carefully preserve a copy of it.

In 1851 the capital stock of the Humphreysville Manufacturing Company was estimated at $300,000, and the estimate approved by a committee of the Legislature. In 1859 the stock was reduced to $150,000 by the distribution of property to the stockholders.

The Eagle Manufacturing Company was organized June 27, 1850, with a stock of $50,000, for the manufacture of silk goods, wool and cotton; George Rice being the first president. In 1852 the stock was increased to $100,000; George F. De Forest, president. In 1855 George P. Shelton was president and Harrison Tomlinson, secretary.

In 1852 George P. Shelton, Raymond French, Philo Holbrook, Henry S. Mygatt, Sheldon Kinney, George F. De Forest, Harrison Tomlinson, John W. Dwight, John Clark and Sylvester Smith were incorporated under the title of the Seymour Savings Bank.

The Union Mercantile Company was established in 1852 with a capital of #4,000. B. W. Smith was the first president, and John J. Rider the second. The store was in the build

Were it not for a family document from ~ 1860-1890 indicating a heritage thru William 1694, I would suspect an undocumented earlier marriage for George. With the family "genealogical record", I speculate my Amos as an undocumented son of Peter (son of John & Lois) from an earlier undocumented marriage.

sometime after 1779 in Newtown esp Dodgingtown area. So many of the congregation turned Sandemanian that that in Newtown (the church )became so weakened as to be reorganized with nine members in 1799

Samuel (3), son of Lieutenant Samuel (2) Gunn, was born in Milford in 1740, died in Washington, January 7, 1782. He settled at Woodbury, Connecticut. He married Phebe Northrop, born April, 1735, a descendant of Joseph Northrop, a founder of Milford. Among their children was John Northrop, mentioned below.
(VI) John Northrop, son of Samuel (3) Gunn, was born at Milford, June 5, 1772, died in Washington, October 3, 1826. He was a farmer, but for many years held and discharged the duties of deputy sheriff, an office then held in much honor, which he so acceptably filled that he became widely known and still lives in local tradition as "Sheriff" Gunn. mentioned below.
(VII) Frederick W'ilIiam, son of John Northrop Gunn, was born at Washington, formerly Woodbury, Connecticut. October 4, 1818, died August "19, 1881. At the age of thirteen he began to attend a school in Cornwall kept by Rev. William Andrews. He prepared for college in 1831-32 at Judea Academy, then taught by Rev. Watson Andrews, son of Rev. William Andrews, and he .graduated from Yale College in the class of 1837. He taught in the academy at New Preston during the winters of 1837-38 ; in the Judea Academy, 1839-43 ; in the New Preston Academy, 1845-47 : in Towanda, Pennsylvania, 1847-48-49. He established the famous pri

Abel, brother to Lois is another possibility to check

 


Peter was the eldest (known) son of John Northrop, Jr.and Lois Northrop. He was born 3 JUL 1754 and raised in Newtown. Both his father and grandfather were Town Clerks for Newtown do he must have been close to the center of public interests throughout his childhood. Newtown and parts of his own family held differing views on separation from England. A key point of the Revolution occurred just as he was coming of age -- 21 on July 3, 1775.

There are no census records to help us place him until 1790 when he is on his own in Newtown. My Amos would have been about 12 years old.

Woodbridge has always been a farming town and is still largely such. Its -principal product is milk,which goes to the New Haven market. But, like many another Yankee community, she has had variousmanufacturing enterprises of longer or shorter life.
PAGE TWENTY

One of the earliest grist mills inNew Haven County was located atSperry's Falls, a reminder of whichexists today in a huge broken mill-stone lying near the ancient founda-tions. Later there was a carding milland a clothier's shop on the same site.Near the head of Lake Dawson, LeviPeck had a factory where iron candlesticks were made. Later, organs andmelodeons were made in the sameestablishment. Below Lake Dawson,Elioenai Clark made coffins and cabi-net work. There were saw and gristmills in various parts of the town.Capt. James Baldwin followed hisancestors in making flour at the mill west of Button Ball Corner. "Aunt Hannah's Flour," made here, was locally celebrated a few generations ago. There was once a clock factory operated by John Northrop, west of the Church, near the home of Henry C. Baldwin. There wasa nail factory in the ravine, and bolts were made at the sawmill place, west of the Church. Over in theWest River Valley, on the hillside opposite Lake Dawson, are to be seen two ruinous piles of masonry whosegreat arches remind one of Roman remains. These are kilns in which cement was once burned from rockquarried near by. The quality of the product not being high, the business was of short life.

The most important manufacturingindustry connected with -Woodbridge,was the match business. This town isreally the birthplace of the frictionmatch. The inventor was ThomasSanford, whose title to the distinctionis permanently secured by a decision ofthe U. S. Court. Mr. Sanford madethe invention while living in the neigh-boring town of Oxford. But his firstshop was in -Woodbridge, in a part ofthe house now occupied by RobertPayne as a residence. "Next he movedhis business to a larger shop, west ofand at the foot of Round Hill. Theruins of this building, which has justfallen in, may be seen near the so-called MRS. MORRIS F. TYLER. Sanford Place. Still later, Mr. San-ford built another shop further downBladen's Brook. The best known manufacturer of matches in Woodbridge, was William A. Clark, whose shop was on Bladen's Brook, below Mr. Sanford's. Mr. Clark was a man of large enterprise and a great inventor and improver of match- making machinery. A considerable settlement grew up in the neighborhood of his factory. In those days the paper match boxes had to be made by hand. This created an industry which was carried on far and wide by women and girls in their homes, in this and in surrounding towns. The Clark business was absorbed by the Diamond Match Company. The Woodbridge factory was operated till 1885.

friction matches, he did, at least, for public nse, according to Hon.
N. D. Sperry, Isl. C. There has been great controversy over the
qnestiou as to who first discovered the use of brimstone for matches,
and it will probably- never be definitely settled. His descendaJits
assert without any misgivings that the credit belongs to M\\ Sanford.
In ])roof of this his daughter. ]\I]-s. Laura S. Smith, writes
the author that some years after he liad been making matches a
New York ])arty applied for a patent and sent out an injunction
on Mr. Saniord. This was litigated in the courts. 'Mr. Sanford
showed himself enough of a discoverer in the process to prevent the
New York party from geiting a patent. The iu junction was dissolved
and he went on nuiking matches, but, as his daughter
asserts, it was too late for him to get a patent. (The Amcyic:in
Encyclopedia states that a patent was granted to Alonzo D. I'hillips,
of Springfield, ^.lass., in 183G.) According to his daughter
he began making matches in 1833 or 4, mixing the compound \\\ a
teacup and making the matches with his knife, but he did not
make them for sale to any extent until 1837 or S. They were first
put up in small paper boxes and sold foi' twelve and one-!inlf certs
per box. The blue label tliat was used \vas sent to the author. It
reads:
"Thomas Sanford 's
Friction ^latches
For the immediate production of a light by nibl)i7ior against the wall or any hard

lie di'^oovered tlie componnd when livijnr in iJctliany, nut
soon after moved to Woodbridge, wliere he oi)ened a sniall siiop
on Town House Comer, now called Paines Corner. The business
inerea.sing, lie soon built inueh larger quarters on the Seymour
road, about a mile distant from tlie first shop and just below the
Northrup sawmill. The building, tliough in a delapidated condition,
is still standing. The business gave employment to many
girls, women and meu in Woodbridge and Bethany. The boxes for
the matches Averc mostly made by the pe<^ple at llioir homes. '1 lie
factory team would take the matei'ial for the boxes to the liomes
and get tJie boxes v.hen m^ade. Not fully appreciating liis great
discovery, 'Mr. Sanford sold the reeiiie for the inixture of the ])iimstone
to his townsman, AV. A. Clark, for the mere pittance of
$?.5.00, who built a shop above that of :\Ir. Sanford and prospered.
The matches were, for some years, sold almost entirely in the West
Indies. Mr. Sanford 's son became superintendent of a large match
factory in Cincinnati, 0., whicli he held for r.iany years.
There was a great aversion and distrust of the lucifer, or fr'ctiou
match, wjien it first appeared and for several years. If a fire
occurred and any suspicious characters were aljout, they were^
arrested, and if friction matches were found upon them they liad
to prove their innocence. {From an interview in Xew Tlaicn

1790 or thereabouts, it came to pass that two men, in pleasant rivalry it may have been, decided to start a wayside inn. Caleb Baldwin was one and Czar Keeler the other. The infection spreading, it was not long after, that "Tom" Seely opened an inn on the premises now occupied by George Northrop near the North Center schoolhouse. "Uncle Tom" was a shoemaker by trade, a jolly good fellow, but, a better shoemaker than landlord, his inn was not of long duration.

    ROLL OF MEMBERS OF THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH IN WOODBURY.

    This church was organized as the second church of Stratford, under the ministry of Rev. Zechariah Walker, May 5, 1670. In 1672-3, the larger portion of its members removed, and settled the town of Woodbury. The following is a complete list of its members from its first organization. It is given because it contains the names of all the church members in the territory of " Ancient Woodbury," for nearly sixty years, and because all the other early churches in the territory, of whatever name, were founded, in the first instance, by men who had been nurtured in its bosom. The admissions only are given. Deaths, excommunications and regular dismissions are

    Somewhere around 1700 we see Northrops moving away from Milford and shore areas. Often they were still close to rivers and waterways.Dfferent branches move north and west. This passage from the history of Kent gives some clues why they started expanding out at ths point. ".....The period of the settlement of Kent was that of Connecticut's first attack of the western fever, and this is how it was brought on. As has been said, but little value was attached to the teritory of Litchfield county, before the beginning of the last century. There was land enough nearer the center of the colony, and the population was still too limited for the peopling of new towns. But after the reinstatement of the colonial charter in 1694, and the consequent restored security of the colony, enterprise, which had languished during the reign of James, revived, the population of the colony increased, and inquiry began to be made for territory for new settlements.

    This long controversy had thoroughly advertised the unsettled lands,

    1738; Cornwall at Fairfield, in February of the same year; Kent at Windham, in March;...young men "went west to grow up with the country;" and all north and east of Kent was alive, as was itself, with the interest of.new settlement.Litchfield's Golden age was Kent was a vital center of activity until the railroad came through Kent in the early 1840's. before that dozens of horse teams entered from Quaker Hill NY loaded with iron ore to be cast into pigs and later hauled to market in Poughkeepsie. The iron furnaces and associated commerce spurred some of the golden age. Education and religious expansions involving extended family may have added to the interest for some family members. New Preston with it's marble and minerals was important for the iron industry as well. While I haven't found direct connections with mills/manufacturing, many family stayed close to Housatonic, aspetuck/Shepaug Rivers.

    There are no Northrops in the earliest divison of Kent, but the listings nclude familiar names connected to the Northrops through marriages Hubbell, Canfield, Smith, Fuller, Marsh, Pratt, Peck, Porter, Sanford, Camp. There are also references to the "Fairweather purchase" in which several Fairfield families purchase parts of Kent, Warren, Washington.

    old colonial records where it was found that in 1707 there was a large tract of land granted to Hon. Nathaniel Gold, Peter Burr and several others of Fairfield for a township in what is now the southern portion of Kent and the northern portion of New Milford, and that they in turn sold a part or all of it to Robert Silliman, Richard Hubbell and Benjamin Fairweather, (his purchase contained some 3,800 acres and was six miles in length from east to west and three hundred rods wide. When the owner died the large tract was divided between his heirs.)

    Kent was once a flourishing community when every night twenty- one two and four horse teams could be seen entering the town from the direction of Quaker Hill, NY loaded with iron ore to be cast into pigs and then hauled thirty miles to Poughkeepsie to market. ..The period of the settlement of Kent was that of Connecticut's first attack of the western fever. Llittle value was attached to the teritory of Litchfield county, before ~ 1700. There was land enough nearer the center of the colony, and the population was still too limited for the peopling of new towns. After the reinstatement of the colonial charter in 1694, and the consequent restored security of the colony, enterprise, which had languished during the reign of James, revived, the population of the colony increased, and inquiry began to be made for territory for new settlements. First was the exploration and sale of the territory of the town of Litchfield. (included in the "Western Lands" conveyed by the colony to the towns of Hartford and Windsor in 1686-7), The sale of Litchfield was the first. In 1715, a committee of these towns, (John Marsh, the ancestor of the Marshes of Litchfield, was one) visited the region, "viewed" it, and secured deeds of it from the Indians.That sale roused the colony to assert its claim to the Western Lands, and in 1719 the legislature stated its precedence in the sale of the western lands. 1738; Cornwall at Fairfield, in February of the same year; Kent at Windham, in March;: Northbury church, organized 1740; Westbury, 1740; Bethlehem, 1740; Washington, 1742; Kent, 174i; Goshen, 1740; Cornwall, 1741; Canaan, 1741; Torrington, 1741; Harwinton, 1737; New Hartford, 1738. .Westbury, now Watertown, was constituted an ecclesiastical society in 1738, the same year as Kent.Bethlehem's petition, to become a distinct society, was granted 1739, and the church was organized the following spring, March 27, 1740. Washington's petition for an ecclesiastical society was granted in 1741 as the parish of Judea..with Rev. Reuben Judd as the first pastor. New Preston, the society of the western part of town (originally part of New Milford) was organized October, 1752.

    While not all the communities were as bustling as Kent and Litchfield, this was a period of settlement - Northbury church, organized 1740; Westbury, 1740; Bethlehem, 1740; Washington, 1742; Kent, 1741; Goshen, 1740; Cornwall, 1741; Canaan, 1741; Torrington, 1741; Harwinton, 1737; New Hartford, 1738.Westbury, now Watertown, was constituted an ecclesiastical society in 1738, the same year as Kent. In Bethlehem, petition for a separate society was granted 1739., In Washington, too, the first settlement with Joseph Hurlburt, locating there in 1736, and a 1741 ecclesiastical society, named "Judea," (Rev. Reuben Judd, the first pastor) the other society in Washington, New Preston, was organized October, 1752.Some suggest this was a movement that pervaded the colony, the first great set of Connecticut's westward tide.
    1826 About this time there was considerable agitation to have a canal from Stockbridge, Mass., to tide water at Derby. May. 1739, passed a resolution that "the military companies in the towns of Kent, Woodbury, New Milford, Litchfleld, Cornwall, Goshen, Canaan, Norfolk, Salisbury, Sharon, and New Pairfleld shall be one entire regiment to be distinguished by the name of the Thirteenth regiment."...

     


    Isaac Camp, Isaac Camp 1738, in 1707 there was a large tract of land granted to Hon. Nathaniel Gold, Peter Burr and several others of Fairfleld for a township in what is now the southern portion of Kent and the northern portion of New Milford, and that they in turn sold a part or all of it to Robert Silliman, Richard Hubbell and Benjamin Fairweather, the latter being described as the "cornet of the troop in Fairfleld." The latter's purchase contained some 3,800 acres and was six miles in length from east to west and three hundred rods wide. When the owner died the large tract was divided between his heirs. 1826\....The War of the Revolution impoverished where it did not devastate. For many years there was practically no money. Mr. Bordwell was from necessity a farmer, and during the long winter a tutor as well; for like most of the ministers of the day, he fitted many a boy for college. The spiritual destitution of the period was even greater than the material. Skepticism and infidelity were rampant, and the church that held its own did well.

    hardships to bear. The church was small in numbers; she was hated and despised by the multitude who regarded Episcopacy as hostile to civil as well as religious liberty. When the war really broke out many of the clergy had to fiee, others were persecuted and imprisoned, churches were closed, many of them desecrated and defiled by the mob.

    In 1790 Rev. Truman Marsh was stationed at New Milford and remained for nine years, and it is probable he looked after the church in Kent. Kent Episcopal Lewis St. John, clerk; Reuben Booth, moderator; John Smith, treasurer. Rev. Sturgis Gilbert to preach every third Sunday . From 1808 to 1816 yearly meetings were held on the great plain of Kent as it was then called. 1819- Rev. George B. Andrews to officiate as clergyman. 1822-plans for building. Jeremiah Fuller, John H. Swift, Garrett Winegar, Alpheus Fuller, and John Hurd, were chosen as a building committee.

    M. E. CHURCH AT GAYLORDSV1LLE.

    Many of the people in the southern part of the town are connected with the Methodist Episcopal church in Gaylordsville, and that church must not be overlooked in enumerating the religious forces of the town. For many years it has maintained regular preaching services at Ore Hill and Bulls Bridge. Situated at the Center, as the churches are, there are many who find it difficult to reach them, and the neighborhood Sunday schools at South Kent, Bulls Bridge, Macedonia, and North Keat have been, and are, of inestimable value.

    Rev. Wm. H. Kirk, a consecrated Reformed Methodist minister, who was for fifty-one years a resident of tho town of Kent. 1844, at a sitting of the Vermont annual conference of the Reformed Methodist church he was ordained an elder in said church, Mr. Kirk was an anti-slavery man during the days of slavery, and was one of the only three men in the town of Kent to vote the anti-slavery ticket.

    Later, he identified himself with the Prohibition party. He was the champion of every cause and measure that tended to suppress vice and exalt virtue. Sympathetic and kind towards the suffering and distressed He took a Christian interest In the welfare of the Scatacook Indians and many of them, under his influence became Christians. The oldest remaining members of the tribe declare him to have been the first person to visit their reservation and tell them they "had souls and might have a Saviour." January 12, 1845, he was married to Miss Maria Houghton of Pownall. Vermont. Their three children were: Sarah A., wife of Edward Eaton, of Warren; Laura J., wife of Edward Thorpe, and a resident of Danvers, Mass., and Charles F., who married Miss Lillian Newton, and resides in Kent.

    Mr. Kirk was Eminently successful as a revivalist, many of the members of different churches in and around Kent were converted under his labors and teaching.

    In 1757, Jabez Smith was chosen overseer of the tribe; being the first officer of the kind appointed for the Scatacooks.

    In 1779 Washington was Assembled from a patchwork of properties from Kent, New Milford, the Woodbury township and Litchfield. Prior to that the surrounding lands were American Indian owned by local tribes such as The Pomperaugs, Bantams, Schaghticokes, Weantinokes and Potatucks. They banded together for protection from the Mohawks on NY. Chief Waramaug (died 1735) was the major political power. As whites settled in the area, the band of tribes welcomed them as security and protection from the Mohawks. There were no battles over land transactions to the Europeans. In 1710, the Woodbury north purchase included much of what in now the town of Washington and the New Preston village. Six years later was the Fairweather purchase just west of the lake.

    KENT'S FIRST IRON WORKS Kent's fascination with iron began with the very settling of the town. First Division was auctioned in early 1738. At a 1738 Town Meeting there is mention " the Iron Pots." and 1744, it was voted "Ebenezer Barnum(from Danbury)may lay out land for making an Iron Works dam and an Iron Works." (at the outlet of North Spectacle Pond, the northeast side of the pond) It was an early form of ironworks able to turn out bar iron (pig iron) for the local blacksmiths, forges, and puddling works. It never became a blast furnace… kent hst soc The Iron Industry in Kent Excerpts from our Kent Tales volume, Iron Fever, which is available from our Gift Shop for $10. KENT'S FIRST IRON WORKS MACEDONIA'S FORGES AND MILLS Mills and forges below the gorge on Macedonia Brook began much earlier than has generally been realized. Several familiar names are associated with mills, forges and iron works on this area close to the New York boder. Joseph Fuller Obadiah Hawley of Stratford had given to Rebecca Algur (his daughter) William Castle Peter Pratt Hendrik Winegar Hopson Rufus Fuller from Plymouth Asa Parks Nathaniel Perry Samuel Johnson Erastus Chamberlain Garret Winegar Samuel W. Johnson With ponds, brooks, falls, and high grade ore nearby, also rocks, sand, line and charcoal, and a hill sloping from the road to the furnace site, over the Dam, Kent had several good locations available. IRONWORKS AT BULL'S BRIDGE perpetual optimism and discouragement for a series of ever-hopeful investors. The location on the Housatonic River below a frequently spectacular falls always appeared to promise great possibilities that lured a series of owners to try their hand at the iron business. At least as early as 1766 there is reference to an ironworks functioning Captain Johnsons IronworksIsaac Bull of Doveron the river within the limits of the Fairweather Grant With David Lewis also of Stratford, Johnson bought not only the Bull property but most of the land of the Fairweather Grant which extended east from the river and south of Bull's Bridge Road across the lower end of Kent to the New Milford line and east to Warren.Lewis Nichols Catherine and Pixley Judson of Stratford The Hurds of Newtown had a long interest in the iron business. Joseph Hurd Tallman Chamberlain of Kent Silas Camp of Claverick, Columbia County, New York Abel Beach.The arrival of the railroad drastically altered the face of Kent. Whereas the town center had originally been located in Flanders, about two miles north of the present Main Street, the establishment of the railroad in the flat river valley brought new life to the area formerly known as the "Grate Plain," once used as grazing ground. The lovely Victorian houses that still line Kent's main streets were built as a result of the railroad, and Flanders became a sleepy little hamlet of stately Colonial homes. The iron industry waned in the late 1800s, but Kent did not skip a beat. Farming, always practiced on a subsistence level, began to fill the gap left by the iron industry. With the hillsides clearcut by the voracious need for charcoal, dairy farms proliferated, along with tobacco, corn, hay, wheat, rye, chickens, goats, sheep and pigs!. Kent Historical Society though rarely on display, are two portraits by an earlier, also famous, local artist - Ammi Phillips. Were it not for Laurence Nelson and his wife Helen's arrival in Kent, Ammi Phillips' identity might never have been known. Helen Nelson was an art critic who had developed a keen eye for her subject. As she began to socialize with area residents, she noted many unsigned portraits, the quality of which quickly attracted her. She recognized them as all being done by the same primitive but talented hand, and set about to discover his identity. She staged an exhibit of his works in Kent, and in the March 1925 issue of International Studio, wrote a fascinating article about the yet unidentified "Border Limner" or "Kent Limner," as Phillips came to be known. Tirelessly promoting his work, through exhibits, speeches, and articles, Helen continued her search for his story, and was soon joined by other detectives. Eventually, a signed painting was discovered, and finally in 1959, Barbara and Lawrence Holdridge were able to conclusively prove his identity. Today, Phillips' portraits are considered to be exquisite examples of early American Primitive art. The period from 1756 to 1774 marking the rise in population of Kent to a figure of 1996, nearly the highest point ever attained, was one of hardship. Following the opening up of the "Western Wilderness" of Connecticut, settlers had been pouring in for twenty-five or thirty years from all sides from the towns of Norwalk, Stratford, Tolland, Canterbury, Hebron, Lebanon, Stonington, Colchester and others, although some did not come in until a little after that date. There were covered wagons over forest trails by day, and campfires by night to keep the wild beasts at bay. Lonely graves were left along the way, and husky new infants came through triumphantly. Roads were gradually being developed, lines of inter-town communication improved. In time tales of growing oppression of the British inflame the restless ambitions of the young men of the second generation, who were perhaps becoming less enamoured of the back-breaking and endless rocks of the beloved "rocks and rills" of their fathers. They could not share the gratified sense of achievement of their parents. The declaration of war offered them their opportunity. Many young men left Kent and some of them did not come back. A few were left on the battlefield probably and some, after hasty farewells to their families, pushed on to the west - Pennsylvania, New York State, Ohio, the new wilderness. In 1787, Kent severed its political connection with East Greenwich, as well as a part of Washington, and in so doing suffered considerable drop in populations. Miss Agnes Strong, writing the history of Warren, says "it has been somewhat accurately ascertained that 2837 have emigrated from among us in that time." She is referring to the 50 years previous to 1822. Kent figures enter into this before 1787, and probably with the general restlessness of the post-war period, the trend of emigration continued for some years. In 1826 the Kent Furnace was built just above the village, enlarged several times and finally in 1884. In 1826, too, the furnace was built at Bulls Bridge. The authority quoted here, Mrs. Laura Newton, makes no mention of the early furnace of Jacob Bull, nor of others, smaller and earlier. At one time some two hundred men were employed in Bulls Bridge with sixty-one children in school. It was a common sight to see 21 ox teams in a procession as they plodded their way through the covered bridge into New York State. Alder City on the west bank, at the foot of the old Skiff Mt. road, has one good house where once lived Benny Budnick and Matt Wean, of rattlesnake fame. Some seventeen children were ferried across to Flanders School daily, at one time. Now, except for Benny's house, there are only a few overgrown cellar holes. Occasionally in an open field anywhere in the spring you see a flourishing and beautiful lilac bush, a mute sentinel guarding the spot where once lived a happy family with laughing children. The railroad came through Kent in the early 1840's bringing a radical change in the iron business. Gone are the long processions of slow ox-carts to Poughkeepsie with the cast iron and returning with the ore. Ore from Salisbury, even from Richmond, Massachusetts was now brought directly to the siding by the Kent Furnace. With the elimination of most of the ox-carts, many of the laborers were perforce laid off, and with their wives and children left Kent to seek a living elsewhere. Ann Eliza Hopson, 1950

    18th Century History - Cheshire Academy is Founded
    From 1770 – 1780, the Episcopal religion was floundering in the colonies. Believing that the religion would be better received if there were an American bishop, a delegation sent Samuel Seabury to England. When he returned as the first Episcopal Bishop of America, one of his first duties was to start a school to educate future clergy. Cheshire was chosen as the site and in 1794 the Episcopal Academy of Connecticut opened its doors.
    The first headmaster, Rev. John Bowden, taught classes in a small building in town until the completion of a new school building. Bowden Hall was erected in 1796 as an “all Cheshire project,” since only one third of the donors belonged to the church. The original charter was quite liberal, providing for the education of both genders and the freedom for students to practice the religion of their family’s choice. In 1836, a new constitution designated the school as exclusively for boys, a system that didn’t change until 1969.
    19th Century History - Cheshire Academy Evolves
    The school taught classical studies and entered a period of stability. An interesting fact is that even though the school was officially The Episcopal Academy, by the early 1800s, parents and boys addressed letters to The Cheshire Academy. This was seen in letters of graduate Samuel Welles to his son Gideon Welles (letter 1, letter 2), who would later become Secretary of the Navy under Lincoln.

      1. Text: The evidence that Asahel Dutton and Sarah Frisbie were the parents of Asahel E. Dutton is circumstantial, but highly pursuasive:
        1.Asahel and Sarah's birth dates and marriage date are appropriate for them being the parents of the younger Asahel.
        2. The fact that both men had the same name is an obvious clue.
        3. The younger Asahel named one of his sons James Frisbie Dutton. James Frisbie was the name of one of Sarah's brothers.
        4. James Frisbie shared a claim to land in Bradford county, Pennsylvania with Solomon Moss, who was the father-in-law of the younger Asahel Dutton.
        5. The families of both the suspected parents and Asahel E. Dutton all moved to Poultney, VT. Sarah Frisbie and 4 of her brothers moved to the Poultney area when the younger Asahel was a young child. Further, the sister of the elder Asahel, Lois Dutton, moved to Poultney. The first docuement event involving the younger Asahel was his moving from Poultney in 1800. Text: Edward Frisbie of Branford and His Descendants, by Nora G. Frisbie.

    both from Connecticut historical collections By John Warner Barber

    Perhaps something more than Ethan Allen’s personal charism made the Brownsons especially responsive to his influence. Allen had joined the Brownson family back in Connecticut; he had married Mary, the daughter of Cornelius Brownson, on June 23, 1762, in Judea parish, Woodbury. The wedding ceremony cost him four shillings. (9)

    Between the years 1806 and 18 16 several boys had drifted away from the Sandwich Islands as seamen and became tempo- rarily residents of New England ; some of them had begun to ac- quire an education by private assistance and a few, in 18 16, were gathered into a flourishing school at Morris, Conn. Henry Obookiah, one of the most influential, had joined the church in Torringford the previous 3'ear, and was preparing to be a mission ary to his native land under the direction of the Litchfield North
    Consociation.

    hist records of the town of cornwall

    Life and letters of Horace Bushnell" Tracing the family lineage of the Bushnells, we find them among the first settlers of Guilford and later of Saybrook,. Conn. We learn of no titled or distinguished persons among them. Whether Francis Bushnell, " ye elder," signer of the covenant for the settlement of Guilford, made on ship-board
    by the colonists in June, 1639, was or was not the father of the three original Saybrook Bushnells remains a moot point among genealogists, but there was undoubtedly a relationship between them. Deacon Francis Bushnell, Lieutenant Will iam Bushnell and Kichard Bushnell, all of Saybrook, were brothers, and from them the Connecticut Bushnells are de scended. Fifth in the line of descent from Lieutenant Will iam was Abraham Bushnell, \vho married Molly Ensign of West Hartford and Salisbury, lived many years at Canaan Falls, Conn., and finally removed to Starksboro, Vermont. They had thirteen children, the second of whom was Ensign, the father of Horace Bushnell.^ * For genealogy see note p. 569 et seq. EARLY LIFE AT HOME. In 1805, Eiisign Buslmell removed his family to New Preston, a village about fifteen miles distant from Litchfield, and in the most picturesque part of the same county. There is reason to think that the inducement to this removal lay in the superior water-power of New Preston, and that an interest in carding wool and dressing cloth by machinery had come to Ensign Bushnell from his father at Canaan Falls, where was erected in 1802 the first carding machine ever built in the State. At all events this, in addition to farming, soon became his business. The scenery of New Preston abounds in lovely pictures of which Lake Wararnaug is the centre. Its outline is irregular, the shores hilly and on the east even mountainous and densely wooded. From the base of a mountain on the eastern side, known as the Pinnacle, the lake turns westward with a wider sweep, its banks indented with little coves and crowned with
    green farms, which are freshened here and there by sparkling brooks. Boiling hills fill the western distance. The scene is one of purely New England character, full of fresh suggestion and rural charm untamed by culture. The outlet is from
    the southern end, and pours its foaming stream through a narrow valley, from which the hills on either side rise steep ly. The little mills and shops which line this stream and use its water-power, and the rugged farms that climb these hill sides, compose the village of New Preston, which still, nes tled in the safe seclusion of woods and mountains, keeps much of its old character of remoteness from the world.

    The Bushnells chose their farm and fixed their home upon the southeastern slope of " a broad-backed hill, which stretches a mile upward and westward to a rounded summit, where stands the church." As this hill turns its back upon the lake, the view does not include the water, but is a wide outlook down the winding valley and across the rolling summits of the hills which, for ten miles, part it from that of the Housatonic. The farm lying on this sunny slope is a rough and rocky one one to tax the strength and patient skill of him who tilled it. " No ornamental rock-work is needed to set off the landscape. Nature s rock-work will stand, and the toil that is necessary to clear the soil is just what is requisite to sharpen the vigor of our people. The necessities of a rough country and an intractable soil are good necessities."
    This was the lesson of early experience as recalled by Horace Bushnell in manhood. the New Preston Academy was opened, in 1818

    Stephen Northrup was born in Salisbury, Connecticut, in 1780, and died in Fulton Settlement in 1872. At the time of his decease, he was the last of the pioneers of his locality. He came to Bethel (prob NY)in May, 1807, and after viewing the country, concluded to go back to his birthplace. When he reached the Neversink, he met /Minimi Hawley, one of his old neighbors, who was. moving to Bethel with his family. Hawley was very glad to meet him; but sorry to learn that he was returning. After a conversation concerning their affairs, Northrup was led to alter his purpose once more, and again return to Fulton Settlement.

    This meeting took place on the east side of the Neversink. The river was very much swollen by the spring rains. There was no bridge, and the ford was impassable: at least Hawley did not dare to put his oxen, cart, wife and children in peril by attempting to cross in the usual manner. So he took the yoke from the necks of his cattle, and compelled them to swim over a short distance from the ford, where the water was smooth and deep. Then he unloaded his cart, took off its wheels and box, and conveyed or towed every thing to the opposite shore in or behind a log canoe! The task was difficult and dangerous: but was safely performed, and the adventurers proceeded on their way.
    * Adam, a ion of John Pintler, wag born May 2, 1805. and Eve Flutter was born October 7,1808. Both of these births preceded that of Catharine Fulton.

    They spent two days in traveling from the Neversink to the west-branch of the Mongaup. When they passed the latter, a heavy rain set in. Night was approaching, and they were in an almost trackless forest, far from human nabitation. The discomforts of the day were bad enough; but they were far exceeded by the prospective miseries of the night. The first care of the men was for the young mother and her two little children. With an axe they made the frame of a diminutive tent, which they covered with blankets. In this, Mrs. Hawley and the little ones passed the dismal night, while the men fared as well as they could under the dripping trees.
    On the third day they reached a clearing made by one of the Fultons, where they found a deserted cabin. Into this Hawley moved. Having thus piloted his friends to their new home, Xorthrup returned to Connecticut, and three weeks later came back with, his family. After occupying a temporary shelter for a few months, he moved to the place where he spent the remainder of his days. During the last fifty-six years of his life, his daily walk and conversation were in accord with the strict rules of the Presbyterian faith. He never sought to occupy a conspicuous position in this life; but was content with what was far better: the discharge, honestly and earnestly, of those duties which give life and beauty to Christian society.
    Joseph K. Northrup, a son of Stephen, was the first male child born hi Fulton Settlement.

    St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Bridgewater.  The record of the organization of St. Mark's Episcopal Society begins with a
    meeting held at the dwelling house of Jonas Sanford, on Easter Monday, April 23,
    1810, at which William Gillett and Julius Camp were chosen wardens, Daniel
    Booth, Jeremiah Platt, and James Jessup, vestrymen, William Gillett, reading
    clerk, Samuel Lockwood, treasurer; also David Merwin, Joseph Wheeler, Blackman Jessup, Jeremiah Canfield, Treat Canfield, Jehiel Summers, and John Treat were chosen choristers, and Joel Sanford was elected to attend the State Convention within the year.  The service was held at the dwellings of the several members, but more frequently at the house of Jonas Sanford, by lay-readers and neighboring ministers, for nearly twenty years, when an effort was made to build a house of worship. The site was located near the old burying-place west of where they finally built their first house, and the timber for the frame was collected at that place, but the question of the location or something of the kind caused the work to cease, and the matter was delayed some time. In 1835, the first house was erected about half a mile south of the present village, in the field, and afterwards a highway was made past it for the accommodation of the people. This building is still standing, is two stories high, and in a beautiful location. Soon after this the village began to increase in dwellings and population, and to become a center of trade, in consequence of the increase of the business of manufacturing hats, particularly by Glover Sanford, and this house of worship was found to be inconveniently located. Hence, in 1859 anew edifice was erected in the village where it now stands, which was consecrated March 14, 1860, by the Rt. Rev. John Williams.  Among those ministers who officiated here before a house of worship was erected, are the names of Rev. B. Northrop, the Rev. Benjamin Benham of New Milford, and the Rev. Joseph S. Covel. Since 1835 the church has been under the pastoral charge of the following clergymen: Revs. Joseph S. Covel, Abel Nichols, George H. Nichols, William Atwell, Abel Ogden, William O. Jarvis, H. F. M. Whitesides, Abel Nichols, Merritt H. Wellman, William H. Cook, James Morton, H. D. Noble, X. Alanson Welton, W. B. Colburn, D.D., and G. V. C. Eastman, D.D., who resigned and removed to the West in 1882.

      The officers of the parish at the present time are: Jeremiah G. Randall, Eli Sturdevant, Wardens; Arza C. Morris, Albert B. Mallett, and Amos Northrop, Vestrymen (in 1882); Arza C. Morris, Treasurer; Jeremiah G. Randall, Delegate to Convention; and Eli Sturdevant, Clerk.

    Jasper Gunn, immigrant ancestor, came to New England in the ship "Defiance," in 1635, then aged twenty-nine years.

     

    In the year 1779, the township of Washington was formed in the County of Litchfield, and within its limits were included the lands owned by the Davies family, and it is recorded that on the 12th day of April, 1779, a number of the inhabitants took the oath of allegiance to the States, in open Freemen's Meeting.
    Among the names of those who, by the list given in the record, pledged themselves to the cause of the Revolution, we look in vain to find a single Davies, a fact which shows the steadfastness with which the whole family clung to their traditions of loyalty, although, possibly, it may not commend them to the patriotic feelings of their descendants.
    It had been the custom of Mr. John Davies to present annually to the Rev. Mr. Marshall, of Woodbury, a fat cow, and this he continued with great difficulty to do during the whole period of the war, although to accomplish this purpose in those times, it was necessary, as he has told, to take the animal by night, and by a long and circuitous route, to avoid being intercepted and robbed by those of the opposite political faith, in whose judgment a gift to an Episcopal clergyman was a treasonable offense. An instance of his generosity and kindness, which never failed even in those trying times, appears from an anecdote that is told in the biography of his youngest son, the Rev. Thomas Davies. After the close of the war a man who had taken an active part in driving off a number of cattle from his farm, and had committed other acts of plunder, having become destitute, applied for relief in his extremity to Mr. Davies, who not only pardoned him for the wrongs he had done, but liberally relieved his wants

    After the close of the war, Mr. Davies' life was passed quietly and peacefully at his home, surrounded by his family, the greater part of whom depended upon him for support, and lived at or near the family homestead. His sons, John and William, had been ruined by the confiscation of their property during the war, and the latter had taken refuge in Canada.

    He still had in mind his father's wish that an Episcopal Church should be built at Birch Plains, upon the lands of the Davies family, and late in life he succeeded in accomplishing this object, as is told in Cothren's " History of Ancient Woodbury."
    After the separation of what was called Birch Plains or Davies Hollow from the township, the Davies family, one of considerable note and zealously attached to the Church, withdrew from the Litchfield Parish, and built a church edifice of their own in Davies Hollow, where, with assistance from some few families, who resided near, they sustained religious services according to the Liturgy of the Church of England, and kept up a distinct parochial organization, for a considerable period. The following is a copy of the Deed given by John Davies, father of Rev. Thomas Davies, to the Churchmen in Washington, making to them a conveyance of the lands upon which the house of worship was erected :" Know ye that I, John Davies, of that part of Washington formerly belonging to Litchfield, and known and called by the name of Birch Plains, in the County of Litchfield, for the consideration of an agreement or promise, made with and to my honored father, John Davies, late of Birch Plains, in said Litchfield, deceased, and for the love and affection I have and bear toward the people of the Church of England now in said town of Washington, and for securing and settling the service and worship of God among us, according to the usage of our most excellent Episcopal Church, whenever there shall be one legally organized in said Washington, and at all times forever hereafter, do therefore demise," etc., eta
    The measurement of the land as described in the deed must have been equal to ninety-six square poles, and it was restricted to use as a public burying- ground, and for the purpose of having a suitable place of worship erected upon it The same condition was annexed to it as that which was expressed in the deed given by his father to the church in Litchfield, viz.: the requirement of one peppercorn to be paid annually on the feast of St Michael the Archangel, if demanded. The above deed was given on the 2id of January, 1794. Upon this ground, principally at his own expense, an Episcopal Church subsequently was erected. Aged and infirm, and seated in an arm-chair at the door of his boose, he witnessed the raising of the edifice, with a feeling similar to that of the pious Simeon when he said, "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace." He survived about three years, and at the age of eighty-six years he died on the 19th day of May, 1797, and was buried in the family burial-ground in Davies Hollow.

    washingtonThe present town of Washington is made up of territory taken from the towns of Woodbury, New Milford, Kent, and Litchfield, and is about six miles square. It contains two ecclesiastical societies, Judea and New Preston, though not the whole of the latter is included within the town. Judea society embraces all the territory taken from Woodbury and Litchfield, and constitutes about two-thirds of the extent of the town. But a small portion of this is contributed by Litchfield. New Preston embraces all the territory taken from Kent and New Milford.December, 1795, Rev. Ebenezer Porter came here and preached the greater part of the time till his ordination Sept. 7, 1796 Dr. Porter was dismissed from his pastoral charge, Dec. 18,1811, having been elected Professor of Andover Theological Seminary.-not far from the so-called ' Athens of America."1779. The petitioners, who numbered forty-seven in Kent, one hundred and seventy-six in Woodbury, twenty in Litchfield, and twenty in New Milford, desired the Assembly to call their town by the name of Hampden, but their agents were persuaded to consent to have it called Washington, in honor of the commander-in-chief of the American armies.Its boundaries are as follows:" Beginning at the south-west corner of Judea parish; thence running a straight line easterly, to the south-west corner of Bethlehem, five miles and about one quarter of a mile; thence North by Bethlehem to Litchfield line, it being the north-west corner of Bethlehem ; thence continuing north in a straight line, to the north-east corner of the tract annexed from Litchfield; (the east line of Washington, so far as it is straight, is between five and six miles;) thence in a north-westerly direction, across the western part of Mount Tom, to Mount Tom bridge, crossing the western branch of Sheppauge river : thence in a line westerly, between Washington and Warren, to the West Pond; thence across said pond ninety rods to Fairweather's Grant. The diagonal line from the northeast corner of Washington to Mount Tom bridge, is about two miles and an half: the north line is about five miles in length. From the northwest corner of Washington the line runs about South, between Washington and

    Kent, one mile and a half to New Milford line; thence still South to the South line of New Milford, north purchase ; thence Southerly to the South-east bounds of the parish of New Preston, about one mile and an half; thence by New Milford, about three miles and an half to the first mentioned bounds."

    An old-fashioned senator: Orville H. Platt, of Connecticut By Louis Arthur Coolidge

    The accumulation of unwelcome tasks meant months of dismal drudgery to Senator Platt. Just how great a sacrifice it all was to him may be gleaned from his correspondence. Congress adjourned the last week in June, and he hurried home to Judea for such rest as he could get. Writing from there to John H. Flagg he says:
    M

    y summer seems already broken up. I have to enjoy this place thinking about it when I am far away from it. If there is anything that will bring you health, enjoyment, and happiness it is this Litchfield County life. I have read first and last a good many entertaining disquisitions on where the Garden of Eden was located, but it seems strange that in all the places that have been claimed for it between the North and South Poles, no one has ever said Litchfield County, but I am sure that this was the original paradise. Norfolk is rather on the outer edge of it. Washington, and especially the Judea end of Washington, was right in the centre of the garden. I do not think that the tree of knowledge of good and evil where Eve cut up such a prank at the instance of Old Nick was just hereabouts. I think she must have wandered out of the garden a little to find the tree; for every tree here is pleasant to the sight and good for food.

    But that summer was to be a busy one, with little in it of the peace of Judea. Not only was he burdened with the work of analyzing Cuban finances but he was called upon as usual to bear his part in the Presidential campaign which resulted in the election of McKinley and Roosevelt. When he returned to Washington at the beginning of the short session in December he was weary rather than rested by this summer's absence; but the session upon which he was about to enter proved to be one of the most exhausting, as it was perhaps the most momentous of his entire career.

In 1712 there were here 12 families or between 60 and 70 persons. A census, taken in 1756, reports 1137 in the town ; another taken in 1774, reported 2776, while in 1800, after pans of the town had been ceded to Brookfleld and Washington, the population was 3198. The census of of 1870, gives the population of the present New Milford, as 3588, while Bridgev/ater, formerly a part of this town, has 877 inhabitants.

    greens annual register

    Much of this line is pretty well documented. However, Amos has been the brick wall preventing a connection to the earliest Northrop/ups. ,In the published Northrup/ Northrop genealogy, neither Amos Northrop/up's nor Rachel Ives' parents are documented. I believe I've tracked down Rachel, but Amos is still a mystery. Regardless of the location or spelling almost all of these Northrops are descended from Joseph Northrup of Milford, CT. Here are a few facts, speculations and clues to help pin them down..What we know about Amos Northrop/Northrup
    Amos was probably born in Eastern New York or the Western half of Connecticut -- an area with many Northrops. He spent a most of his life in Kent and adjoining Warren & Washington, CT. There is no mention of his early life or profession.
    ???

    http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hume/tree/19201.htmThe death record of Washington CT has his birth as Kent and occupation Laborer. There is a conflict in his age at death 69 in Washington, but by the time he was buried in Warren Cemetery he was ten years older! age 79. Thanks to the Town Clerks office at Washington!

    I was able to confirm Amos Death and burial with the Warren Town Clerk's Office (Thanks for your wonderful assistance!). "I found a listing in a notebook refering to a sexton's book that lists his burial on May 18, 1855, age 79.  That is all the information listed in the book." This gives Amos a birthdate of around 1776 !! a new date in all the research. The sextons book is by F. B. Taylor, Warren and refers to burials from 1847-1869.  I believe he was the Sexton or Clerk for the Warren Congregational Church.'The Church of Christ was established in May 1750 as, "The East Greenwich Society of Kent" by division of "The First Society." Since then the church has been known as "The Congregational Society of Warren", "The First Ecclesiastical Society of Warren", The First Congregational Church of Warren", and in 1941, when the Society and the Church incorporated, it became known as "The Warren Congregational Church, Incorporated." In the National Historic Register, the Church is known as "The Warren Congregational Church." Records include baptism and marriage records.'

    The Washington Town clerk also provided this transcription (made in 1915?) of Northrops in Washington.

    (Rev. Daniel Brinsmade was of Judea Parish, Rev. Hart Talcott ordained 1817 of Warren)

    The Northrop name does not appear in any of the original divisions of Kent. The earliest Northrop I find is Thomas Grant Northrop son of Amos who went to Yale. [His brother, 27. Amos, b. Oct. 11, 1772. appears to have lived his entire life in New Milford. m. Hannah ELDERKIN. Thomas' uncle, David (22. David, b. July 27, 1746. .) was married to Rachel Grant sister to Anne, wife of Amos Northrop 3d but all children were born in NewMilford. Thomas Grant Northrop's wife, Aurelia Curtiss d/o Silas CURTISS
    (mother was a Clark Hester CLARK1709 in Stratford) 1741 Stratford & Ruth BIRDSEYE 1746 in Stratford ]No record of Northrops as members of the church in Kent although several neighbors appear. Atwater History of Kent Perhaps they were associated with another Parish -- especially if they were closer to an adjacent parish or had a family connection to another parish. Kent the Moravian church or mission house was standing 30 or 40 years since, near the house of Mr. Raymond, by the Episcopal church. The Moravians left this place about half a century since. The Scatacook tribe, for whose benefit this mission was established, occupied the interval on the west side of the river for about three miles.It may be that this earlier mission set the stage for the Mission School in nearby Cornwall.

    Warren
    The agricultural productions are grass and some grain. Butter and cheese are made, and beef and pork raised by the inhabitants. The town is watered by the Shepaug, a branch of the Housatonic. Raumaug pond (now Lake Waramaug), a considerable body of water, is situated partly in this town, and partly in Washington. The population of the town in 1810 was 1,096; in 1830 it was reduced to 986.

Atwater History of Kent Perhaps they were associated with another Parish -- especially if they were closer to an adjacent parish or had a family connection to another parish. Perhaps the Northrops stayed in the same area from the earliest census. I thought perhaps it was the Woodville section from names on some of the maps (NE of Washington by Mt. Tom), but perhaps they were in the corner where Kent, Warren and Washington meet.

    West of Litchfield. Warren, formerly a part of Kent, was settled about 1737. The parish of East Greenwich was organized in 1750. In 1786, a town was incorporated and named for a Massachusetts man, Gen. Joseph Warren, the Revolutionary hero, who lost his life at Bunker Hill. The town consists of a high plateau, bordered on the south by Lake Waramaug. Lake Waramaug

    ii Mary Elizabeth b. Sept 17, 18 70, d. Nov 5, 1870. The only hard facts - the A Judd Northrup genealogy:

    • The genealogy has some known errors and omissions especially with some of the families on the CT/NY border. Some family lines have been merged and some dates inaccurate. Connection of Amos Alvin and Gerrit is supported, Rachel as wife highly probable. Questions or possible errors: location of Alvin's 's birth. supported as NY but not (yet?) supported as Chatham; year of Amos birth may be 1780 (census) rather than 1778; location of Gerrit's birth CT not NY (census), Rachel's birth year may be 1780 rather than 1775.

    ...and the census listings for Amos and descendants (details below):

    • The census listings have errors in spelling and may reflect omissions or other errors as well.
    • It is quite possible that Amos and/or his parents moved from Milford, Ridgefield / South Salem, Fairfield / Wilton / Redding to Kent. We know his son, Alvin, moved closer to the coast when he and Sarah Wakeman Alvord Northrop changed their residence to Westport.We don't know if this was a return to known Northrop family connections. It appears to be a return to family connections for Sarah Wakeman Alvord.

    The Amos Questions:

    • Who were Amos' parents? Where was Amos born?Was Amos in Kent area before he married Rachel? Where was Amos from birth to 1800? Where was Amos and family in 1810 census? Who is the extra female in the 1820 census? Did Amos have a second or third marriage? Susan Chaugum? Sarah Osborn?
    • Was Amos' family,like the David Alvord Family from the Fairfield Redding area?

    While there are, so far, no traceable connections, there are interesting correlations with:Betts and Jelliff families (search for Jelliffe for genealogy information) -- possibly through Lewis Northrop/up.

    • William was in the carpentry business with Francis Jelliff (Southport, CT) and Betts and Northrop ran a carpentry business in Georgetown (Redding / Weston line). Betts and Jelliff families are related. see Jelliff page. There are marriages between Northrops and Betts (Ridgefield Norwalk area).
    • The same collection of names appears together in Ridgefield, Kent area and Lanesboro, MA

    Some kind of Elmore connection --

    Some kind of source for William, George and Francis Names in family or friends

    Some kind of source for Fenn middle name for William

    Some means to meet Ives family and Rachel of Wallingford/Cheshire

    • Lived Close to Wallingford? New Haven, Durham, Woodbridge, Woodbury The Ives had connections in New Haven, Wallingford, Cheshire, and later Cornwall and Barkhamsted CT area; no connections in the upper Hudson area of NY near Chatham and no very early connections to Fairfield.
    • Religious or other connection?

    Northrop, Ives and Alvord connections may all be in one location

    • Plymouth is a location where Ives some Northrops and Alvords were in the same location. Many in Thomaston, Watertown, Waterbury, Litchfield as well.
    • Their co-location may be due to growing manufacturing concerns. Torrington, Hitchcocksville and Plymouth.erea cradles of innovation and industry from about 1790 to 1850. Industries include Chair making , Carriage making and clock making..

    Family Naming conventions don't seem consistent

    • Male First name sometimes from GGF First Name Male Middle from Father's Father's Mother's maiden name
    • later generations Eldest male gets mother's maiden as middle, eldest female gets father's mother's maiden name.

    Did David Alvord move north because of a connection of his mother to Rev Hezekiah Wakeman the misister for many years in Cornwall -- married to Gold?? David Alvord s/o John Alvord b: 11 JUL 1750 in Fairfield & Sarah Wakeman b: 21 NOV 1753 ?? the Torrington, Hitchcocksville, Winchester, Plymouth area is a nexus of family names - references to Ives, Alvords, Northrops, Fenns and some others. . The region, with it's favorable water power, was a cradle of innovation and industry from about 1790 to 1850. It included Chair making, Carriage making and Clock-making -- all of which may have family connections. Chairs Alvord/Alford The famous Hitchcock chairs were manufactured in Riverton/ Hitchcockville. Jesse Ives was a Riverton/Hitchcocksville Tavern Owner and postmaster across from the Hitchcock chair factory. His connection is more remote - he and Rachel may share a GG grandfather (Joseph).An interesting Ives connection -- Jesse Ives wrote the obituary for one of the Barkhamsed lighthouse tribe. Amos second or third wife was from this tribe. Barkhamsted tribe -- one of Chaugum girls marries John Elwell (b. 1815) may have been Amos neighbor??? Carriages Alvord Sarah's brother Nelson ends up manufacturing carriages in Torrington -- apparently quite a successful business. Clocks Ives Have yet to find connection for clockmaker Ives to Rachel.

    The most important manufacturing industry connected with -Woodbridge,was the match business. This townWoodbridge is really the birthplace of the friction match. The inventor was Thomas Sanford, whose title to the distinction is permanently secured by a decision ofthe U. S. Court. Mr. Sanford made the invention while living in the neighboring town of Oxford. But his first shop was in Woodbridge, in a part of the house now occupied by Robert Payne as a residence. "Next he moved his business to a larger shop, west of and at the foot of Round Hill. The ruins of this building, which has just fallen in, may be seen near the so-called MRS. MORRIS F. TYLER. Sanford Place. Still later, Mr. Sanford built another shop further down Bladen's Brook.

Summary: In the northwest corner of New Haven on the east side of Whalley Avenue just south of the Woodbridge border lies a 14-acre area of forest, wetland, river and pond known as Pond Lily. Pond Lily is so named because of the lilies that have grown on the pond since the river was first dammed in1794 to provide power to a grinding mill owned by the Sperry family..1794

    Dr. Abirani Stoddard, who came to town in
    1804 as the second local physician. At first he lived on the west
    side of the river near the Episcopal church, but in this house he
    spent his last days. This old house was built in 1774 by Levi
    Hotchkiss.
    It was two stories, the second stor\- overhan.^inii- a few inches
    facin.u" the east. It had two chimneys, the north one bein.u" very
    larije. The timbers were lariie and squared with a broadaxe; the
    nails were hand made. The hall extended throutih the house east
    and west, containinii" two stairways meeting on the same landing.
    There were four good sized rooms on the first floor, with the additional
    summer rooms on the west side, a kitchen, pantry, milkroom,
    another room with a set-kettle and well.
    The large front door was on the east side, the smaller one on
    the south, which was the one mostly used.
    This house was burned in Oct., i<S94, revealing to the public
    for the first time the sub-cellar 12x15 ft., and 7 ft. deep. Many
    came to see the ruins and the sub-cellar which was used for household
    puri)Oses, there being nothing superior for a cooler. If this
    had been connected with a public house, one might think of it being
    used as a hiding place, and a station of the "underground railway"
    when the fugitive slaves lied to the north. It may be stated here
    that runaway slaves w-ere aided in this valley by the good people in
    sympathy with them.

    REVOLUTION 1775-1781
    Residents felt the impact of the war. Family members served, Those left behind helped support soldiers' families, Connecticut was know as the provision state in part for its contributions of food (livestock), muskets and cannons made at Salisbury iron works. General Washington travelled through Connecticut a number of times and General Rochambeau emcamped at Newtown 1781 on the way to the siege of Yorktown which ended the war. However, compared to most Connecticut towns , "Litchfield prospered during the Revolution. While Connecticut's coastal and river towns were under constant attack by British forces, and while New York City was occupied by the British, Litchfield became a major "safe town" of the Continental forces. The main roads from Hartford and Southern Connecticut to the Hudson Valley ran through Litchfield and most of the provisions and munitions for the Continental Army beyond the Hudson followed this route. Litchfield became a chief depot for military stores and a safe place to jail Loyalist prisoners."

    Litchfield area 1784 -1834

    50 years between 1784 and 1834 known as Litchfield's "Golden Age". The town was an active, growing urban center. Local merchants made fortunes in the China trade, small industries were developed, and by 1810 the central village contained 125 houses, shops and public buildings. The town had an active artisan community with goldsmiths, carpenters, hatters, carriage makers, joiners, cabinet makers, saddlers, blacksmiths, potters and other craftsmen all located within the central village.
    The iron works thrived in the mid-1800s, but the ore petered out.

    Amos
    Parent / Name
    Speculations



    Amos may have been a farmer, shoemaker (his eldest known son, Alvin, was a shoemaker) or in a profession related to leather.Chatham, NY reported as birthplace is suspicious. May be Chatham, CT (Alvords) or wrong Northrop line.
    Names WITH connections - Amos, BurrNames with possible connections - Gerrit, George, Fenn, Elmore, Winthrop, Blaine, Anzonetta /Antoinetta

    A number of Fenns have connections to Joseph Line - Second Congregational Church Milford "Plymouth" Amos had 2 known children but possibly more.Amos might have even spent some time in Berkshire County, MA.

     

    It is interesting to observe on the gravestones that widows were called relicts and wives who predeceased their husbands are called consorts.

    "CENSUS NEIGHBORS"

    I've looked at the census records for myAmos to identify census neighbors who might be connected. AJNorthrup genealogy identifies Kent Warren and Washington as locations for MyAmos. Again, some changes in census location may actually be a change in boundary. The names of locations have changed as well.

    1790 prob too young OR Newtown w/parents who is Washington Amos?
    1800 Kent
    1810 MIA OR New Milford OR w/ family OR Vermont?? ???
    1820 Kent
    1830 Kent
    1840 Warren
    1850 Washington
    1855 dies Washington, buried, Warren
     
    The Town of Washington encompasses the following Villages:
    Washington Depot
    Washington (or Washington Green) --  the Old Judea
    New Preston --  located on the Aspetuck River.
    Marbledale (or Marble Dale) and
    Woodville by Mount Tom
    1790 Census - MyAmos (if 1778 ~ 12, if 1774 ~ 16, if 1784 ~ 6)
     
    I include this only for comparison with a later references

    Amos 1790 Washington, CT
    MyAmos is probably too young to be this Amos.

    Who is this Amos??? Could be Amos Wellman Northrop (Jonathan line) Although AJN has him Residence: BEF 1801 Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY 16 kids b. Fishkill 1781-1798. He does not marry until about 1781. Not likely he is Amos' father. Since he was a teacher did he move back and forth with the school season?
    Is Amos Wellman Northrop the one listed in the Quaker Hill, NY store ledgers?

    1790 Census 12200
    1 male 16 or over
    2 males under 16
    2 females any age

    (Elijah 1790 Washington, CT there are a couple of Elijah's that can be confused. Likely he is the son of Samuel1718 & Lydia Thomas1723. b~ 1761 in Washington CT. m. Lucina Easton (Luxina)1764 (d/o Eliphalet Easton and Mary Gould is this Gould connected to Redding Goulds?) Eliphalet dies in Woodbury in 1785 Washington. Elijah D. 1829 in Humphreysville (Seymour), Connecticut Served (American Revolutionary War) Pension Awarded a pension (#s36199). Did Elijah have any connection to mills and manufacturing in Humphreysville? Died in poorhouse. Can't find any direct connection to myAmos. Other Elijahs 1790-1820 in Lee, MA, Lenox, MA in Oneida - no township listed -- NY in 1810. Elijah in Lenox, MA. None in CT 1 male 16 and over(born 1774 or earlier -- prob at least 22 ~ born 1768 or earlier), 2 males under 16, 2 females Both Elijah and Amos are MIA in 1810. There are many usual suspects in Fairfield Vermont 1800 census http://dunhamwilcox.net/vt/fairfield_vt_census.htmthere are 3 unreadable northrops in Danby VT in 1810. Check Ira VT for ages.1

    don't know where this belongs
    For the longest time I thought Amos was "lost" in this census -- perhaps living with another family member, I now think it's possible that the 1810 New Milford Amos is MyAmos. Did Amos move around that much? Maybe. It's also quite possible the borders moved around. See Border-MountTom issues. We see references to Mount Tom associated with the Nathan Terrill of Milford, Job Terrill, Jonathan Meeker of Fairfield and Amos Northrop of Milford Other names in the area - East Greenwich, Merryall. Portions of the area may well have been part of the "Fairweather purchase".

    would be uncle to Rachel
    and Castle a cousin

    The "family sticks together" speculationIn the absence of more definitive information, I've reviewed possible neighbors in the census (where available). In census lists that are not alphabetical, I speculate name sequence reflects physical order of homes. Below are the names I watched for in the review.

    The table lists the results as likely extended family connections. I speculate the earlier data is more likely to be significant. The years are links to images of the census pages.

    1New Preston, Connecticut. From the top of the "hill" that's just southeast of Lake Waramaug called The Pinnacle.above from http://www.flickr.com/photos/richardspics/718893025/in/pool-24554386@N00

    THE tract now comprising the towns of Kent and Warren was sold at auction at the court house in Windham, in March, 1738. The settlernent commenced the same year.The principal settlers were from Colchester, Fairfield and Norwalk The first minister was the Rev. Cyrus Marsh, ordained in May, 1741.Kent the Moravian church or mission house was standing 30 or 40 years since, near the house of Mr. Raymond, by the Episcopal church. The Moravians left this place about half a century since. The Scatacook tribe, for whose benefit this mission was established, occupied the interval on the west side of the river for about three miles.It may be that this earlier mission set the stage for the Mission School in nearby Cornwall.

    search yielded raymonds and olmsteads with many northrop connections

    Perhaps something more than Ethan Allen’s personal charism made the Brownsons especially responsive to his influence. Allen had joined the Brownson family back in Connecticut; he had married Mary, the daughter of Cornelius Brownson, on June 23, 1762, in Judea parish, Woodbury. The wedding ceremony cost him four shillings. (9)

    Between the years 1806 and 1816 several boys had drifted away from the Sandwich Islands as seamen and became temporarily residents of New England ; some of them had begun to acquire an education by private assistance and a few, in 1816, were gathered into a flourishing school at Morris, Conn. Henry Obookiah, one of the most influential, had joined the church in Torringford the previous year, and was preparing to be a missionary to his native land under the direction of the Litchfield North Consociation.

    Another possibility is an undocumented son of George Northrop. There is a record of George having an earlier marriage to a "Miss Kimberly" before his marriage to Mary Kimberly perhaps a sister or cousin to Mary. She would have died before 1782. Amos' reported DOB is 1778, so this could be possible. "Miss Kimberly" would likely have a date of birth of about 1760 or earlier. (at least age 18 when he was born). There are several points that would support this option. The name George -- Amos named his son George -- and the fact that he is a shoemaker. Amos' son Alvin worked with leather making shoes harnesses etc. as well as farming. We don't know what Amos did, but he probably farmed and may have been a shoemaker as well.

    Redding Ridge's tavern owner, Stephen Betts, certainly fits the profile: Lieutenant Stephen Betts, was a prominent character in the Revolution. He was an active patriot, and was taken prisoner by the British on their march to Danbury in April, 1777. A County Convention was held at his house/tavern on August 10, 1779. Betts was prominent in town politics, serving as Town Selectman during the Revolution, as well as several town committees formed in support of the war.

    General Samuel H. Parsons was headquartered at Betts' home/tavern from 1778 to 1781.

    ELMER? ELMORE CONNECTION TO George Dutton Northrop

    When I told Philip Osofsky that I only knew of two Jewish-owned working farms in Ellsworth: his father’s and the Northrop Farm on Northrup Road that George D. Northrop sold to Morris Schulman in April 1909, Philip said there was one more. That was a very small farm at the foot of Northrup Road, still in Ellsworth, and owned by the Cohen family. 1 He also reported the existence of a few small Jewish-owned family farms that fattened beef cattle and calves. A local Jewish-owned slaughter house provided kosher beef prepared according to ritual law. The soil of the Northwest corner may be thin and rocky Sharon Historical Societymaybe George Dutton?

    History of Bethlehem society "east part of the north purchase ?Woodbury?-- not divided among proprietors until 1734 remained woodland Among the first proprietors -- from the first society (woodbury) came Reuben and Josiah Avered1739 allowed to set up minister and school Rev Joseph Bellamy at age 22Fall of 1740 Mr. Whitefield preached through country religion was revived 1750 the "nervous fever prevailed and spread== not enough wel l to take care of the sick and - a mortal distemper carried off 30 persons in the prime of their life.1791 Rev Azel Bakus was ordained and settled in Bethlehem.he also "fitted boys for college" teaching latin and greek . later left to become president of hamilton college (1813).1787 society incorporated into a townBethlem is a small town, ita average length being four and a half miles, and its breadth four miles. Its population by the census of 1850, was 815. It is almost wholly an agricultural town, its soil being fertile, with little waste land. It has, however, one woolen manufactory, two wagon shops, three saw-mills, one grist-mill, three cider distilleries, one blacksmith's shop, one shoemaker's shop, and three mercantile stores. It also has two churches, a town hall, a flourishing lyceum, two ministers and one physician.--------------washingtonThe present town of Washington is made up of territory taken from the towns of Woodbury, New Milford, Kent, and Litchfield, and is about six miles square. It contains two ecclesiastical societies, Judea and New Preston, though not the whole of the latter is included within the town. Judea society embraces all the territory taken from Woodbury and Litchfield, and constitutes about two-thirds of the extent of the town. But a small portion of this is contributed by Litchfield. New Preston embraces all the territory taken from Kent and New Milford. In both of these societies are Episcopal churches, having houses for religious worship. The first settlement in the town was made in Judea society, in 1734, the year this society and Bethlehem were divided among the proprietors of Woodbury. Joseph Hurlbut was the first settler, and the first framed house was built in 1736. The next settlers after Hurlbut were Increase Moseley, Nathaniel Durkee, John Baker, Friend Weeks, Joseph Gillett and Samuel Pitcher. The first sermon preached in the society was by Isaac Baldwin, of Litchfield, who afterward relinquished his profession, and became the first clerk of the county court for Litchfield county

    Five years later, the inhabitants had become more numerous, and twenty persons preferred a memorial to the General Assembly, at its May session, 1739, representing that they lived " full eight miles from the Meeting House," and that their wives and children had " to . tarry at home from the worship of God about half of the year," and therefore they pray for " liberty to have preaching six months in the winter," and to be released from paying taxes for a new school-house just built in the first society, and also from parish taxes, that they may build a school-house of their own. The privilege asked for was granted, to continue two years, and they were released from one-half of the parish taxes, and from taxes to build a new meeting-house, provided they were " in no ways Active in the Affair of Building a new Meeting House in said first Society."1 At the October session, 1741, twenty-six individuals petitioned to be incorporated into an ecclesiastical society, and appointed " Our Trusty and well-beloved friend, Friend Weeks, agent and attorney to prosecute our Petition." The petition was signed by Nathaniel Durkee, John Baker, Joseph Gillett, Joseph Chittenden, Elisha Stone, Samuel Pitcher, Jr., James Pitcher, Increase Moseley, Lemuel Baker, Daniel Castle, Samuel Branton, Ezra Terrill, Jr., Ebenezer Allen, Zadock Clark, Elijah Hurd, Joseph Hurd, Joseph Hurlbut, Benjamin Ingraham, Jr., Robert Durkee, Samuel Bell, Jonah Titus, Benjamin Ingraham, John Royce, John Hurd, Jr., Jedediah Hurd, Benjamin Hinman.

    In 1753, a putrid fever prevailed in this society (Judea), of which twenty or thirty died in six months. In 1776, the dysentery prevailed with great mortality. About thirty persons were swept away by it to the grave.

    Mr. Brinsmade's ministrations, from 1774 to 1784. This was a contention concerning the half-way covenant system,

    There have been several revivals, 1804, 1821, 1825, 1827, 1831 1748.n October, 1748, eleven persons dwelling in the south-eastern part of Kent, and nine living in the north-eastern part of New Milford, petitioned the General Assembly for liberty to hire a minister six months in the year, on the ground of their living " from seven to ten miles from their places of worship in New Milford and Kent." This request was granted, to continue four years, with exemption from parish rates. Before the end of the four years, in May, 1752, forty- one individuals petitioned for a new ecclesiastical society. Their names were Samuel Averill, Caleb Rude, Samuel Lake, Moses Averill, Henry Davis, Jehiel Murray, Isaac Averill, Joseph Carey, John Guthrie, Daniel Averill, Zebulon Palmer, Jacob Kinne, Samuel Cogswell, Thomas Hodgship, Thos. Morris, Benj. Darling, Samuel Waller, Nathaniel Deuine, Enoch Whjttlesey, Joseph Jons, Stephen Bosworth, Thomas Beeman, John Benedict, Stephen Noble, Gilead Sperry, Elnathan Curtis, John Bostwick, Benajah Bostwick, Matthew Beale, John Cogswell, Zephaniah Branch, Edward Cogswell, Emerson Cogswell, Josiah Cogswell, James Terrill, Joseph Miles, Nathan Hawley, Samuel Cogswell, John Cobb, Benjamin Capuen.At the same session, sixteen persons of East Greenwich, (now Warren,) remonstrated against the incorporation of a new society, stating that their society had lost " thirty-five rateable persons, and £1467 on their list," and that they therefore protest against having any part of their society cut off, as no families can be spared. Kent, at the same time, passed a vote, that this statement was true. New Milford also sent a committee to oppose the application, and it failed. In October, 1753, thirty-nine persons "in the Northern part of New Milford, and the South and South East part of Kent, and a place Called Merry-all," renewed the application for an ecclesiastical society, which was granted, and the society called New Preston, with the following boundaries :" Beginning at the South east corner of New Milford North Purchase, then tunning Southwardly joining upon Woodbury line one mile, from thence running a West line to ye part of the Long Mountain, South West of Capt. Bastwick's farm, then a Northline to the place called the Rockhorse Cobble, and so that course to Merryall line, and then across Merryall to Kent line, and then Running East to the South West corner of James Lake's farm North Easterly to the North West corner of John Henderson's farm, that he now lives on, then running East to East Greenwich line, then running South to y« South West corner of East Greenwich line to Sheppauge river, then running Southwardly upon s<l river to Woodbury Ijne, then running Westwardly on Woodbury line to y« first mentioned bounds," <kc.The first meeting of the society was held at the house of Jacob Kinne, Nov. 23, 1753. The officers chosen were Benajah Bostwick, Clerk, and Samuel "Waller, Stephen Noble and Joseph Gary, Society's Committee. A vote was then passed to " meet at Jacob Kinne's house for 3 months for public AVorship in the winter season," provided they could obtain a minister. John Bostwick, Samuel Waller and Samuel Averill, were appointed a committee to hire a minister for three months. On the first Monday in December following, the society laid a tax of 12rf. on the pound, to hire a minister " for a season." They also voted to build by subscription, " two school-houses for the use of the society, one to be located between Nathaniel Bost- wick's house and Steep Brook, in ye Highway, and the other near Joseph Gary's in the Highway." The following vote also passed :There have been several revivals, which added considerable numbers to the church : thirty in 1780 ; twenty-five in 1804 ; thirteen in 1812 ; eighty in 1816 ; forty-one in 1821; thirteen in 1826 ; thirty- eight in 1827 ; and thirteen in 1829.History of ancient Woodbury, Connecticut                                                                        By William Cothren

    Why they moved where they movedMilford- perhaps to Ridgefield - perhaps to Plymouth - to Kent -to Warren - to Washington - to Westport * Some of the later moves may have been changes in town lines, rather than moves.*In early years power through voting or property was derived through church membership. Church attendance was mandatory even if the church was hours away through wilderness inclement weather and forbidding terrain.* a community had to seek permission to form a new parish. Sometimes it took decades for permission to be granted. In some cases only winter priveleges were granted. Since taxes were paid to the parish, it is no wonder that substantial opposition to a new parish was rather common.* It was not uncommon for some settlers to have several separate pieces of property in a colony which later ended up in separate towns. A number of towns stated out with dividing ertain areas for home lots and separate areas for farm lots (Newtown is an example).

    *Some colonists ended up with additional property in unsettled areas -- especially property in northwestern (mostly Litchfield County) and Durham CT. These properties may have been granted in lieu of payment for military service or for supplying provisions for defense.

    WestburyA book listing the graves in "The Old Burying Ground of Ancient Westbury and Present Watertown" was published by the Sarah Whitman Trumbull Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1938.  It has been reprinted by Higginson Book Company, 148 Washington Street, Post Office Box 778, Salem, MA 01970.  It is their publication number CT0412, and is available on their website at http://www.higginsonbooks.com/  The book shows the wording on each of the 981 stones, and a map indicates where they are located in the cemetery.  The cemetery is located at the intersection of Main Street and French Street in Watertown, CT.As an aid to genealogical research, listed here is the index that is in the book.  The number after a name indicates the sequential number of the tombstone.  Use your browser's Edit / Find command to search for a particular name.  Be careful about spelling, some names may not be as you expect.       Old Burying Ground Index              Back to Genealogy Page"More than 210 years ago the area that is now Watertown belonged to the local Paugasuck Indians. But in 1684, Thomas Judd and 35 other proprietors bought the land from the Indians and Town history began. Around 1700, Obadiah Richards settled in the area of Upper Middlebury Road, and John Scott on Nova Scotia Hill Road.By 1710 they both had left for safer places. In 1729 a family named Garnsey settled in the section now called Guernseytown. Built in 1735, the Belden saltbox house on lower Main Street is the oldest house in Watertown. With 338 inhabitants, the First Ecclesiastical Society of Westbury was formed in 1738, and 42 years later, in 1780, Westbury separated from Waterbury and was named officially Watertown.For 15 years, however, it also included its territory Plymouth and Thomaston. The eastern area was incorporated as Plymouth in 1795. It soon became the crossroads for a number of early highways, and 12 scheduled train trips between Watertown and Waterbury. John Trumbull, poet of the Revolutionary War, who was also a lawyer and judge, was born here in 1750."from http://www.watertownct.org/content/10339/6913/7102/default.aspx----------------------The Old Burying Ground, Watertown, CT

    JEFFERSON - was formed from Blenheim, Feb. 12, 1803. A part of Summit was taken off in 1819. It is on the S. line of the co., near the S.W. corner. Its surface is a hilly upland, the principal summits being about 1,000 ft. above the valleys and 2,000 ft. above tide. Mine Hill, in the extreme S. part, is estimated to be 3,200 ft. above tide. A high ridge extending N.E. and S.W. through near the center forms the watershed between Delaware and Mohawk Rivers. Utsyanthia Lake is a small sheet of water on the S. line.* The soil is a gravelly and clayey loam. Jefferson, (p.v.,) near the center, contains 2 churches and 25 houses. Morseville, in the N. part, is a p.o. The first settlements were made, in different parts of the town, in 1794.** The first preacher was Rev. Stephen Fenn.

    *This lake is 1,800 ft. above tide. It is often mentioned in old documents, and was an angle in the bounds of Albany co. in colonial times. It is the source of the W. branch of the Delaware.

    **Amos and Caleb Northrop settled in the E. part; Samuel and Noah Judson, near Utsyanthia Lake; Henry Shelmerdine and James McKenzie, on West Kil; Stephen Marvin, Erastus Judd, and Aaron Jones, near the village. These were mostly from New England. The first marriage was that of Marvin Judd and Lois Gibbs, Aug. 1800; and the first death, that or Elsie Judd, in June 1799. Heman Hickok taught the first school, in 1799. Canfield Coe kept the first inn, in 1794; and Rodman Lewis the first store in 1800. Stephen Judd built the first sawmill, in 1796; and Heman Hickok the first gristmill, in 1799. Eli Jones built the first tannery, in 1810.

      Sources:

    Text: The evidence that Asahel Dutton and Sarah Frisbie were the parents of Asahel E. Dutton is circumstantial, but highly pursuasive:
    1.Asahel and Sarah's birth dates and marriage date are appropriate for them being the parents of the younger Asahel.
    2. The fact that both men had the same name is an obvious clue.
    3. The younger Asahel named one of his sons James Frisbie Dutton. James Frisbie was the name of one of Sarah's brothers.
    4. James Frisbie shared a claim to land in Bradford county, Pennsylvania with Solomon Moss, who was the father-in-law of the younger Asahel Dutton.
    5. The families of both the suspected parents and Asahel E. Dutton all moved to Poultney, VT. Sarah Frisbie and 4 of her brothers moved to the Poultney area when the younger Asahel was a young child. Further, the sister of the elder Asahel, Lois Dutton, moved to Poultney. The first docuement event involving the younger Asahel was his moving from Poultney in 1800. Text: Edward Frisbie of Branford and His Descendants, by Nora G. Frisbie.

    The beautiful country of Fairfield county so impressed Francis that he immediately began making plans to settle there. Although he went to Branford in 1657 and remained there for a time, he made his settlement in Fairfield county in 1660. He married Ruth Barlow, daughter of John Barlow. He purchased the house and homestead lot of 2 1/2 acres from William Hayden of Greenfield Hills in March, 1666. ... Francis secured large tracts of land in these different allotments, and his land extended from Green Field hill north of the Aspetuch River and to the north of Saugatuck. These parcels were known as the "Bradley Lands". Francis lived for a long time on what was called the "Long Lot" and other parcels of land assigned to him.

    In 1790 Captain Charles Pond, a seafaring man, who had commanded the " New Defense" in 1779 as a privateer, and others engaged in trade, shipbuilding and merchandising, as Charles Pond & Co. In 1793 they built the wharf on Gulf Neck, where is now the Merwin oyster industry. In 1811 Adam Pond, a son of Captain Charles Pond, and others formed the firm of Pond, Fowler & Co., and continued in trade until 1823. He was a successful foreign trader, and was well known among the shippers of New York. Pond, Baldwin & Co. were also in trade until 1814, when the firm was dissolved. Later came Miles, Strong & Miles, who were largely engaged in the shipping trade until the failure of the firm in 1821, since which time there has been but little foreign trade with Milford. Ships were built at Milford as early as 1690, by Bethuel Langstaff, who that year built a 150-ton brig for Alexander Bryan. In 1695 he built another vessel for Boston parties. The " Sea Flower," built for Richard Bryan, was launched in 1717, and from that time, for a little more than one hundred years ship- building was one of the leading industries of the town. Nearly every * Lambert. HISTORY OF NEW HAVEN COUNTY. 229 trader built his own vessels, and several yards were maintained at the village. A few small vessels were also built at Wheeler's Farm, on the Housatonic. About 1760 Eli Gunn came to Milford and had a ship yard near his residence. In later times the principal ship yard was on the east side of the harbor, below Fowler's mill. Another yard was on the west side, between Dock lane and Wharf street. Among the master builders were Isaac Jones, called " Boss " Jones, and "Boss" John Rhodes. As ship carpenters there were, among others, John Hepburn, William Tibbals, Newton Northrup, Nathan Bristol, John Bump, Samuel Greene, John Bassett, John Rood, Caleb Northrup, Isaac Bristol, Samuel B. Gunn and Asa Gunn. Other ship builders were William Durand, David and William Atwater, Abraham Tomlinson and Farrand Clark. Captain Noah Kelsey, who had a shop near the Episcopal church, made many of the vessel irons used. Two of the last vessels of any size launched were the " Isabella," in 1818, and the " Marcellus," in 1820. This was built for Captain David P. Halsey, but was sold to Captain Nathan Gillett. The builders were W. H. Fowler and D. L. Baldwin. The venerable John W. Fowler says that in the period of Milford's greatest commercial activity, for about thirty years, ending in 1820, the following vessels were owned in Milford and sailed from that port: Ships: " Hesperus," by Pond, Baldwin & Co.; " Garune," by Miles, Strong & Miles; " Chase," "Vaucher," " Hamlet," by Stephen A. and Isaac Treat. Brigs: " Charles," " Susan," " Martha," " Pond," by Pond, Baldwin & Co.; " Calena," " Behurin,"by Tomlinson & Clark; " Wepo- wage," " Milford," by Miles, Strong & Miles; " Friendship," " Thomas," by S. A. & I. Treat; " Patriot," by William Durand. The schooners built or sailing from Milford in the interests of the above were more than a dozen in number, and there was about the same number of sloops. A number of seafaring men dwelt at Milford, and it has been esti- mated that the casualties of such a life caused more than one hundred persons to find their last resting places in the waters of the mighty deep. It should be noted in this connection that an unusual propor- tion of Milford's seamen became the commanders of their vessels, which commends the bravery and the intelligence of this class of citi- zens. Indeed, some of the best people of the town followed the sea, and "at one time nearly every house contained a retired sea captain or the memory of one." Among those who rose to the rank of captain were: Benedict Bull, James Bull, Freeman Bassett, Mix Bradley, Philip Bull, Nehemiah Bristol, Edward Brown, William Coggeshall, Farrand Clark, Freegift Coggeshall, Charles Coggeshall, William Coggeshall, 230 HISTORY OF NEW HAVEN COUNTY.

In the ordinary lines of merchandising, Abraham Tomlinson & Co. were in trade at the beginning of the century, and in 1802 David L. Baldwin was one of their clerks. He became one of Milford's mer- chants, and was in trade until 1854. Contemporary with him latterly were Mark Tibbals, John W. Merwin and A. Clark. Nathan Fenn, a later merchant, was killed by burglars who entered his store. P. S. Bristol and the Cornwalls were merchants of a later period, the latter continuing and having as contemporaries the Fords, Platts, Shepherds and Buckinghams.

    THE TOWN OF MIDDLEBURY.
    ORGANIZED as a parish in 1791 and incorporated a town in 1807, Middlebury received its name from the fact that it occupies a middle position between Waterbury and Southbury, from which it was mainly formed. On the north is Watertown, and northwest Woodbury, in Litchfield county; south and southeast are Oxford and Naugatuck. The town is small, being less than five miles square, with greater length north and south. The surface is elevated and broken by high hills, the chief ones being Mount Fair, on the east, Sandy Hill, on the south, and Breakneck in the northwestern part. The latter, tradition says, received its name in the times of the revo- lution, when General Lafayette, with his command, passed over it on his way from the east to the Hudson river country. In descending the steep hill, one of the oxen used in transporting goods, fell and broke his neck — hence the name. It is a fact, however, that the name Breakneck was applied to that locality many years before the revolution,* and was, no doubt, suggested by its perpendicular appearance, as viewed from some directions. Many huge rocks are scattered over the surface of the town, or appear in ledges. Most of them are granite. There are fine lands in some localities, which have been well improved. In other parts the soil is not susceptible of successful tillage, being rough and sterile, but has been used for grazing pur- poses. Nearly the entire drainage is into the Naugatuck and the Housa- tonic. Into the latter stream flows the Eight Mile brook, being the boundary line on the west and the outlet of Quassepaug lake or pond. This is a beautiful sheet of water, with pleasant surroundings which have caused it to become a place of resort. Southeast is Kissawaug or Long Meadow pond, whose outlet, flowing into the Naugatuck, is Towantic brook. Hop brook, flowing into the same stream several miles farther north, drains the northeastern part of the town, having *See Cothren's " History of Woodbury." 75S HISTORY OF NEW HAVEN COUNTY. as affluents a number of small brooks. Numerous springs abound in the town. Nearly all the present territory of Middlebury was included in the Mattatuck purchase and the early history is closely connected with that of Woodbury and Waterbury. Settlements were not made as early as in the localities along the Naugatuck and the Pomperaug and by far the greatest influx was after the revolution. Among those who claim pioneer distinction were the Bronsons, in the Breakneck section, where, in 1707, was born in the family of Isaac Bronson, the first white child. This also received the name of Isaac, who became a well-known citizen of that part of the town and was the great-grand- father of Julius Bronson, born in the same locality in 1807, and who was, in 1890, one of the few surviving old men in the town. The Bronsons were numerous and influential; but few have remained in Middlebury. Here the Abbott family settled later and descendants occupy some of the old places improved many years ago. The Tyler family lived west of the Bronsons, in what is to this day called the Tylertown district. Here was born the Reverend Bennett Tyler, D. D., who became famous as one of the old school theologians, and was president of Dartmouth College. Ebenezer Smith was nearer the outlet of the Quassepaug, locating there about 1720. He had sons named Ebenezer, Samuel and Daniel, the former serving in the revolution. For many years they were lead- ing men in that part of the town, in which some of the Tuttles also settled in 1740, and became active in affairs of the community. In the southern part of the town David Wooster settled about the same time. He opened a good farm and made fine improvements. The Wooster house, built before the revolution, still remains in a good state of preservation. Historic interest attaches to it on account of the fact that Chauncey Judd was there confined several days after the robbery of Captain Dayton, of Bethany,* in the revolution. The prop- erty still belongs to the Wooster family. In 1800, or soon after, there lived in Middlebury, James Tyler, Ash- bel Munson, Abner Munson, Thaddeus Bronson, Elisha Blackman, James Porter, Jonathan Sanford, Titus Bronson, Thomas B. Wooster, Philo Bronson, Gad Bristol, Anson Tuttle, Ephraim Tuttle, Jairus Bronson, Roswell Tyler, Jacob Hall, Beers Radford, Job Wheeler, Daniel Abbott, Eli Thompson, Ebenezer Smith, Jr., Daniel Tyler, Jr., Aaron Benedict, Ebenezer Richardson, David Hine, Adonijah Scott, Samuel Benham.

In the last 50 years the character of 'the population has been changed, many of the old families becoming extinct and a new ele- ment coming in. The inhabitants are also less in number than 50 years ago, being less than 700. Middlebury was incorporated as a town by an act of the October, 1807, general assembly, on the petition of Ebenezer Smith and others of the Society of Middlebury, in the towns of Waterbury, Woodbury and Southbury. The petition was filed April 24th, 1807, and the prayer was that the bounds of the town should be the same as those of the parish of Middlebury. The towns of Woodbury and Southbury consented to the incorporation without protest, but Waterbury objected, as the arrangement would deprive it of some of its best citizens. The question of the relative support of the poor and the maintenance of the bridges on division lines was left for decision to a commission com- posed of Andrew Hull and Rufus Hitchcock, of Cheshire: Josiah Dudley, of Derby, and Mark Harrison, of Wolcott. This committee was to meet at Beecher's inn, at Naugatuck, in December, 1807. The Ecclesiastical Society of Middlebury was created by the gen- eral assembly December 29th, 1790, and the new parish was made to embrace parts of Woodbury, Waterbury and Southbury. The meet- ing for organization was held January 27th, 1791, and arrangements were soon made for preaching services. Provision was also made for building a meeting house. A frame structure, 38 by 54 feet, was put up in 1793, and was used early the following year. It was last occu- pied May 5th, 1839, when it was taken down and the erection of the present edifice begun. This was dedicated April 29th, 1840, and cost, as then arranged, $3,438.41. It was at that time regarded as a fine place of worship, but subsequent improvements have modernized it and made it more attractive. A parsonage on an adjoining lot af- fords a comfortable home. The members of the society were not constituted a church until February 10th, 1796, when the following 12 persons entered into cov- enant relations: Josiah Bronson, Isaac Bronson, Thomas Richardson, Nathan Osborn, Samuel Chatfield, Seth Bronson, James Tyler, Titus Bronson, Elijah Bronson, Josiah Bronson, Jr., Eunice Richardson, Elizabeth Osborn. At this time Josiah Bronson was chosen as the clerk of the church. On the following March 22d, 24 more persons were added to the membership of the church, the males being Daniel Tyler, John Stone and John Thompson. Among the females were the wives of Isaac Bronson, Josiah Bronson, James Tyler, James Manville, Samuel Chat- field, Seth Bronson, Elijah Bronson, Eli Bronson, Nathaniel Richard- son, Thomas Barnes, Asa Lyman, Daniel Tyler, Eli Thompson, Amos 764 HISTORY OF NEW HAVEN COUNTY. Curtis, John Thomson, Josiah Bronson, Jr., Ezekiel Tuttle, Reuben Webb, Roswell Bronson. The deacons appointed this year were Na- than Osborn and Seth Bronson. In 1799 15 persons were enrolled as members, and in 1800, 37 joined. For the next dozen years, but a few joined each year, but in 1814, 26 joined, and in 1817, 28. A like number were added in 1822. In the three years following 1830, about 100 persons entered into fel- lowship. In 1842 there was another period of revival, some 25 persons joining ; about the same number were added in 1855, and nearly double that number joined in 1868. In 1889 the church had 91 mem- bers, of whom 30 were reported as living outside of the bounds of the parish. The church had no regular minister until the Reverend Ira Hart was ordained and installed November 6th, 179S. He was dismissed April 5th, 1809, and was succeeded by the Reverend Mark Mead, or- dained and installed November 4th, 1809, and dismissed March 30th, 1830; Jason Atwater, installed October 20th, 1830, and dismissed October 15th, 1845; George P. Prudden, as stated supply, from Decem- ber, 1845, to March 30th, 1851; Joel R. Arnold, as stated supply, from December 1st, 1851, to March, 1854; R. J. Cone, as stated supply, from June 3d, 1854, to December 16th, 1855; Jonathan S. Judd, installed June 25th, 1856, and died during his pastorate, May 11th, 1864; Clin- ton Clark, as stated supply, commencing June 1st, 1865. He was sud- denly taken ill September 23d, 1871, and died on the highway between the farms of Eli and Jerad Bronson. Reverend David Breed began preaching in May,1872, and was install- ed October 17th, the same year. He resigned October 30th, 1876, and was the last regular pastor. The ministers since that time have been stated supplies, as follows: H. G. Marshall, from June 1st, 1877, to June 7th, 1885; William J. Murphy, from October 4th, 18S5, to November 6th, 1887; Myron A. Munson, from May 28th, 1888, to November 25th, same year; William F. Avery, since December 17th, 1888. Those elected to the office of deacon were, in 1796, Nathan Osborn and Seth Bronson, the latter serving until his death in 1828; John Stone, 1799-1834; Ebenezer Richardson, 1818-26; Sherman Curtis, 1825-48; Leonard Bronson, 1833-50; Daniel Clark, 1833-6; Giles A. Gaylord, 1836-42; Robert H. Bronson, 1845-52; Joseph P. Piatt, 1852- 63; Marcus Bronson, 1853-6; Gillman E. Hill, 1856-79;* Gould S. Clark, 1864 to present time; Lewis B. Tucker, 1872-6; J. C. Scovill, 1877-87;* David M. Fenn, 1888 to present time; Frederick G. Scott, 1888 to pres- ent time. Doctor M. De Forest is clerk of the parish and treasurer of the several funds created for the maintenance of the church work. The oldest of these, the "Ministerial Fund," was begun March 17th, 1790, and was raised to £1,086, or about $3,621. The contributions varied *Died in office. HISTORY OF NEW HAVEN COUNTY. 765 from £1 to ^105, the latter being given by Benjamin Munson. Josiah Bronson was the treasurer of this so-called "Bank for the support of the Gospel in Middlebury." In 1890 this fund amounted to $3,725. A second or new fund was raised by "The Middlebury Fund Company," organized January 13th, 1814, and originally amounted to $1,136. Philo Bronson was clerk of this fund and was succeeded by Ebenezer Smith, Robert Camp and Doctor De Forest, in the order named. The Sabbath school connected with the church has 75 members en- rolled, and D. M. Fenn is the superintendent. It is said that Jesse Lee visited the town as early as 1790* and preached the doctrines of Methodism; that eight years later Peter Van Ness came, and was followed, in 1800, by James Coleman; by Ebenezer Woodburn, in 1803; Phineas Pierce, in 1808; Gad Smith, in 1812; and Billy Hibbard, in 1815. They held meetings at the houses of Daniel and David Abbott; in a barn and cider mill, near Tylertown; at the Breakneck school house, and more latterly at the academy at the Cen- ter. As a result a number of persons were converted and the pres- ent Methodist church thus early had its beginning. Among the early members were: at the first period named, Daniel Abbott; in 1806, Thomas B. Wooster, Jacob Hall, Ephraim Tuttle, Joseph Mun- son, Lucinda Wooster Munson; in 1810, James Wooster and Nancy his wife, the former a very pious man and the latter also abounding in good works which were richly attested in her legacy of $1,500. In 1812 or 1813, David Abbott and Sarah Tyler, his wife, became Meth- odists, the latter leaving the Congregational church, much against the will of her parents and friends. For many years this worthy couple were leading Methodists, and their son, Ira, was a minister from 1839 until 1875. Another son, Alvin, also preached a short time. Four grandsons followed in the same steps, viz.: Larmon W. Abbott, Alvin V. R. Abbott (son of Alvin Abbott), Bennett F. Abbott (son of Ira Abbott) and Joseph W. Munson. Daniel Wooster also became a Meth- odist minister. In 1814, among the additions were Daniel Wooster, Almira Wheeler, Aunt "Becky" Buckley, so wonderfully gifted in prayer, and Aunt "Becky" Tuttle. In about 1818 the additions were Ruth Mallory, Anson Tuttle, Philo Woodruff, Eliza and Mary Northrup Harriet and Lucy Munson, Susan Tyler, Willis Treat, Joseph Wheeler, Joel Atwood, John Northrup and Truman Wooster. For a period of ten years the growth was slow and some members removed; but in 1831, under the preaching of Heman Bangs, there was a renewed interest and the purpose of building a church was now formed. In 1832 James Wooster leased a lot of land at the Center on which to build the house of worship. On this lot the district school house stood and there was some objection to the Methodists occupying it, but these were overruled. The school house was moved ♦From account by Anson F. Abbott. 766 HISTORY OF NEW HAVEN COUNTY. and good fellowship with the opposing Congregationalists was soon established. The building, begun in 1832, was not completed for sev- eral years, when it was occupied at a cost of $3,000. It is a plain, al- most square structure, having a two-story appearance so as to afford gallery room. In 1878 it was thoroughly improved at an outlay of about $500, and a parsonage, near by, was purchased for $1,000. The principal actors in this movement were Nelson J. Hayes, H. W. Munson, Ira Abbott, Lewis Tyrrell, Levings Abbott, Harriet L. Gaylord and Charity S. Fisher, a few only of whom lived in 1890. The house has a most beautiful location and the surroundings are fairly well kept. The property is valued at $4,500.

    METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTHPORT.'S
    From about the year 180.5 to 1820, Methodist meetings were held at Green's Farms in the houses of Peter Jennings and Noah Osborn, and in the schoolhouse. Green's Farms formed part of an extended circuit, and was visited by the Conference preacher once a month. In the absence of the preacher, Bradford Croft, a local preacher, supplied for them. Ebenezer
    Washburn was the first preacher appointed by Conference ; Samuel Croft was the first class-leader. He and Bradford Croft and Joshua and Peter Wakeman were among the first official members of the church. The Crofts and their wives, Mrs. Wakeman, and Mr.
    Stratten were among the first niembers of the church. In 1820, when the Green'.s Farms church was built, there were about forty members. They worshipped in that church till 1845, when the present church was built at Southport, largely by the liberality of Capt.
    Davis, a noble, generous, and faithful Chiristian, who is still living. The determination to build the present church was made during the ministry of Rev. Zachariah Davenport, still living and greatly respected; he preached on the circuit that included Green's Farms during the years 1843—44. In 1845 it was dedicated.
    The following is the list of preachers who have been appointed to Southport since the erection of the present church: Charles C. Keys, 1845; Charles Bartlett, 1840; James H.Perry, 1847-48; G. Gilbert, 1849- 50; Levis. Weed, 1851; William McAllister, 1852- .53; Reuben II. Loomis, 1854; George Hollis, 1855- .56; Samuel A. Seaman, 1857-58; Seymour Landon,

    New Milford 1722: Town buys "North Purchase," taken from Waramaug's Reserve. Committee appointed to raise money to hire a school master three months in winter and a school mistress three months in summer. 1725: Ensign William Gaylord builds a log home in Gaylordsville.

Jemima Wilkinson (November 29, 1752 - July 1, 1819) was a charismatic American evangelist who preached total sexual abstinence and the Ten Commandments to her congregation of "Universal Friends." Her family were strict Quakers, most of her views were from her upbringing in the Quaker religion. She changed her name to "Publick Universal Friend" and was reborn to her cause.Wilkinson was one of the first female visionaries of religion and Women's rights in the United States.1790: Professor Nehemiah String is operating a private school for boys. The Underground Railroad consisted of a series of places where slaves were able to take refuge on their trek to freedom. Started by the Quakers, abolitionists and black free men soon became involved. This secret avenue to freedom was taken by an increasingly large number of daring runaways from the beginning of the nineteenth century through the decade between the Fugitive Slave Act and the outbreak of the Civil War. New Milford has three documented houses (Gaylordsville has one and Washington, two) that were part of the Underground Railroad.

    GoldDaniel, Samuel, and Stephen Gold (now written Gould), brothers, members of a Fairfield family that had been prominent in church and state for several generations, were among the early settlers of the town, though none of their descendants are now found among us. Daniel appears first: he married Grace, daughter of Deacon Stephen Burr, and lived where James Lord now lives. His children, as named in the will of Deacon Burr, were: Abigail, who married Richard Nichols. Esther, who married Nathaniel Northrop. Sarah, who married David Turney. Mary, who married Seth Price; and Elizabeth.Samuel Gold settled in Lonetown, and built the house now owned by Seth Todd. He was a soldier in the Revolution, and was wounded at the skirmish in Ridgefield. Some of the officers of Putnam's commnd had their quarters at Mr. Gold's during their encampment in Redding. Their children were: Hezekiah, Daniel, Burr, Aaron, Sarah, Polly, and Grace. Stephen Gold settled on the farm later owned by Timothy Platt in Lonetown. He is called captain in the records. He did not long remian a resident of Redding, but returned, it is said to Greenfield.

    Perhaps something more than Ethan Allen’s personal charism made the Brownsons especially responsive to his influence. Allen had joined the Brownson family back in Connecticut; he had married Mary, the daughter of Cornelius Brownson, on June 23, 1762, in Judea parish, Woodbury. The wedding ceremony cost him four shillings. (9)

    Between the years 1806 and 18 16 several boys had drifted away from the Sandwich Islands as seamen and became tempo- rarily residents of New England ; some of them had begun to ac- quire an education by private assistance and a few, in 18 16, were gathered into a flourishing school at Morris, Conn. Henry Obookiah, one of the most influential, had joined the church in Torringford the previous 3'ear, and was preparing to be a mission ary to his native land under the direction of the Litchfield North Consociation.

    hist records of the town of cornwall

    Litciifield, the shire town of the county, is 58 miles from Hartford, by rail, and has a population of about 3,000. The township is on high land, with strong soil. Bantam Lake, tire largest body of water in the county, is situated partly in this town. The village commands a beautiful and extensive prospect, and has a fine park in the centre, in which stands a monument to commemorate the lives of those who fell in the late war. The prominent buildings are the old court-house, with its turret and bell; the jail, and a new Congregational church edifice costing about $30,000. With its beautiful shade-trees, the village, at present, is a most delightful resort for those in quest of pleasure and recreation. The Lake-view House, capable of accommodating several hundred people, is a sightly place, and a favorite resort for metropolitan guests during the heated term. The city of New York, distant about 115 miles by rail, is reached by the Norwalk, Ilousatonic, Shepaug and Naugatuck railroads. The churches in the town are six

    in number; and there are two banks, one newspaper, and 20 public schools. Manufacturing is carried on to a greater or less extent at East Litchfield, Bantam Falls, Milton and Northfield.

    Among the eminent men of Litchfield have been Oliver Woleott (172C-97), the commander of a company in the French war, first sheriff of the county, delegate to Congress in 1775, and signer of the Declaration of Independence, and governor of the State at the time of his death; Benjamin Tallmadge (1754—1835), a colonel in the Revolutionary war, serving with distinction in many battles, several times a representative in Congress, and instrumental in causing the capture of Maj. Andre; Gen. Uriah Tracy (1755-1807), congressman and U. S. senator; Hon. O. S. Seymour, LL. D., former member of Congress and chief justice of the State; George C. Woodruff, formerly a member of Congress; Gideon H. Hollister, author of a standard history of Connecticut; Rev. Henry Ward Beecher; and Gov. Chas. B. Andrews.

    He still had in mind his father's wish that an Episcopal Church should be built at Birch Plains, upon the lands of the Davies family, and late in life he succeeded in accomplishing this object, as is told in Cothren's " History of Ancient Woodbury.":

    Connecticut Abolitionists The slave trade in Connecticut was prohibited in 1788. However, it remained legal to hold slaves until as late as 1848. The state had passed an act of Gradual Emancipation--children born to enslaved parents after March 1, 1784, would be freed at the age of 25 (later dropped to age 21). As a result slavery was slowly phased out.

    Torringford in the town where John Brown, " Ossawattomie Brown," was born.
    Some withdrew from the churches because they deemed it sinful to hold fellowship with those who voted to uphold a system, acknowledged to be guilty of more crime than any other system in the land.

    the old church in Torringford, but the Rev. Samuel J. Mills (whether as a rebuke to the spirit of cast or not is not known) always seated Henry Obookiah, Thomas Hooppo, and other tawny brethren of the Sandwich Islands, when they visited him from the Cornwall Mission school, in his own pew, in the front of the congregation, quite to the dissatisfaction of some even of that congregation. (Any connection between Rev. Mills, abolition and Alvords or Wakemans??)

    Prior to the anti-slavery agitation, the inhabitants of Torrington and of Litchfield county, and the state of Connecticut as well, had suffered a calamitous, moral shock ; a sort of aesthetic, volcanic upheaving, by an affair which occurred at the Foreign Mission school at Cornwall. This school had been established and mainly sustained by Congregational churches, for the purpose of educating the Indians and Sandwich Islanders as missionaries to their own people. Two young ladies of Cornwall, belonging to the most respectable and best educated families, became so perverted in their aesthetic tastes, as to choose and dare to marry two of the tawny brethren, with the idea of becoming missionaries among the native tribes. The effect was

    quite shocking ; almost pestilential. Every class of society was thrown into spiritual convulsions. The mission school was threatened with demolition. Those sons of the forest who had been so wicked as to fascinate the belles of Cornwall and make trophies of them were compelled to depart sans ceremonie. The school was soon after closed or rather driven out of existence, not because it was not doing a good work, but because two of the pupils had married two girls, which girls wanted to marry them.

    Edmund Jennings settled in Ballston in 1775 at the age of 21. He was the son of Zachariah and Sarah Morehouse Jennings from Fairfield, Conn Edmund Jennings, unlike some of his neighbors, sided with the rebels during the Revolutionary War. He was a member of the 12th Regiment of the Albany County Militia (Saratoga County was not formed until 1791). In May of 1777, he joined a search party, which was after fifteen tories. Along with Colonel James Gordon, the militilamen chased the lovalists up the Sacandaga River and captured them at Lake Luzern. The captives were taken to the Albany goal, which was already over-crowded with tory prisoners. Edmund Jennings, no doubt, fought at Bemis Heights and witnessed the surrenders of Burgoyne. Captain Edmund Jennings pursued the British and Indians when they raided Ballston in 1780.

    Samuel Northrop removed his family from Salisbury, Conn., to Lenox, in 1770, when his daughter Phebe was but three years of age, coming with an ox team most of the distance, but at times being obliged to travel on horseback by the guidance of marked trees. Samuel located on East street. He died in 1786, aged 42 years. Col. Elijah Northrop, a younger brother of Samuel, accompanied him to Lenox, and erected a house next south of his brother on the place now owned by Thomas Sedgwick, which house was used as a tavern during the Revolutionary war, and is one of the oldest houses in the place. Col. Northrop died in 1832, at the age of eighty-two. During the Revolution, Indians and wild game were plenty, and often troublesome. Mr. Northrop used to relate that on one occasion he and others killed three bears close to his house. At another time he had killed a deer and brought it into the house, when an Indian called and claimed it, as he had followed it all day. It was finally decided to give it to the "child of the forest."GaAZETTEER OF bERKSHIRE cOUNTY Revolutionary Soldiers

    By the mid-1800’s industrial entrepreneurs had established mills along the Kayaderosseras Creek and its tributaries all the way through Milton and the Village. Chief among these were the paper mills; but there were also cotton mills, foundries, tanneries and leather factories, wheel shops, lumber and cabinetry mills, and limestone quarries and kilns in addition to the saw mills, grist mills, and blacksmith shops established when the settlers first came. Communities, including Rock City Falls, West Milton, Milton Center, Craneville, Factory Village, Bloodville, and Rowland’s hollow, were clustered in the mill areas where churches, schools, stores, hotels and boarding houses were established. Family dairy farms and orchards dotted the landscape surrounding these settlements. Transportation continued to be by foot, horseback, and carriage or wagon over dirt roads until 1896 when the mills and communities along the Kayaderosseras were joined by an electric railway running from Ballston Spa to Middle Grove to provide both freight and passenger service that connected to other rail lines in the Village of Ballston Spa.

    The town of Milton is second in importance to Saratoga Springs in point of population and wealth, but probably the first town in the county in the extent and value of its manufactures. Milton is bounded on the north by Greenfield, on the east by Saratoga Springs and Malta, on the south by Baliston and Chariton, and on the west by Gaiway. It contains 20,935 acres.

     Just before the Revolution David Wood and his sons, Stephen, Benjamin, Elijah, Nathan and Enoch, purchased 600 acres at Milton Hill and moved into the town. Justus Jennings, a Revolutionary soldier, settled near Hop City about 1783.

    An old record dated Apr. 10, 1818, mentions "Elihu Alvord for- merly of Fairfield, Conn., now of Black Rock, N. Y." Mr. Fish, grandson of Elihit Alvord writes that his grandfather lived for a few years after leaving Conn, at Albany, N. Y., and was employed in the shipyards there. He removed from Ellicottville, N. Y., to Scot Co., la., in 1837 settling on a claim 18 miles north of Davenport. He Sixth Generation 167 was the oldest member of the Scott Co. Pioneer Ass. and was prob- ably the oldest settler in the county. In 1857 when Mr. Alvord was eighty-one years old he visited his old home in Conn. By occupa- tion he was a cabinet maker and had considerable mechanical genius, so that he was wont to spend hours at a time endeavoring to perfect perpetual motion. He was fond of horticulture, a great reader and highly esteemed by all who knew him. His home, during the last years of his life was with his daughter, Alary Ann Fish, at Walnut Grove, la. When eighty-eight years old he walked from Walnut Grove, la., to Davenport, a distance of 18 miles, to visit his son C. C. Alvord. It was in July and the sun was very hot. The next day he was taken with an attack of cholera morbus from which he died on the second morning after leaving home. At the organization of St. John's Episcopal Church at Ellicottville, N. Y., Elihu Alvord was chosen vestryman, Sept., 1829. Property was deeded to Elihu Alvord of Milton, Saratoga Co., N. Y., in 1806 ; to Elihu Alvord of Marcellus, N. Y., in 1810 ; from Elihu Alvord and wife of Cayuga Co., N. Y., in 1812, of Ellicottville, N. Y., in 1833.

    Canaan has an area of 36.7 square miles on NY's border with Massachusetts in northern Columbia County. The town of Canaan includes parts of East Chatham, the rest of which is in the town of Chatham. Similarly, parts of Red Rock are included within Canaan's southern boundary. Canaan is bordered by Austerlitz to the south, New Lebanon to the north, Massachusetts to the east, and Chatham to the west. Canaan was founded by settlers from Canaan, Connecticut in 1759.

    Elijah Northrup was a master carpenter who came from Newtown in Fairfield County, CT, in 1815. He was soon engaged to build "the Union Meeting House". As there are two such in the Little Nine Partners, this was probably the one in Pulvers Corners, as the other, in Bethel, was erected 1839 by one Carmen Cornellius.

    Master Carpenter Northrup is said to have introduced the "square rule" framing method, replacing the old cut-and-try method. Timber was dressed in the field and the pieces fit perfectly when put in place on site. Whether this means that he invented the method has not been discovered.

    Northrup married a daughter of John Couch and Rhoda Bennett, had nine children, all born in Pine Plains, and at an unknown date removed to Newark, NJ. Elijah Northrup was my 6C6.


    Pine Plains NW of Sharon The town was part of the Little Nine Partners Patent of 1706. The town was first settled around 1740 by Moravian missionaries to the native Mahican village of Shekomeko. The Town of Pine Plains was formed from the Town of North East in 1823.

    THE COTTON MILL.

    The Humphreysville Manufacturing Company, organized in 1810, produced first woolen cloths, then cotton goods, and in 1831 commenced making paper, first with four employes, but increased the number within a month to sixteen. In 1843 this paper-mill passed into the hands of Hodge & Company; the firm consisting of G. L. Hodge, S. Y. Beach and Samuel Roselle; and in 1845 William Buffum purchased the cotton mill and continued its proprietor a few months. In 1850 Sharon Y. Beach bought the claims of the other two proprietors in the paper-mill and removed it to Blue street, where it still remains.

    Great have been the changes between that day and the present. The whole territory is filled with buildings and immense manufacturing establishments, a full account of which may be found in Mr. Wm. C. Sharpe's " History of Seymour and Vicinity," a book which is of great value because of the many facts collected and recorded in it. Every family in the town should carefully preserve a copy of it.



    Gen. Humphreys considered it of great importance to the interests of
    the coimtry that manufactures, especially that of woolen cloths, should be
    introduced, and with the nucleus of the "mills and clothiers' shop" purchased
    of Styles he immediately set about it. In 1806 he had the factory built which
    still stands on Factory street, near the race. On the fifth and sixth of June
    was raised the frame of the first woolen factory built in the United States.
    The name "Chusetown" appears on the town Eecords as late as 1804, but
    it was soon changed to Humpreysville in honor of Gen. Humphreys, and this
    name was retained until 1850.
    That he might the better carry out his plans Gen. Humphrey made several
    other pm-chases of land, among others the two following April 25, 1804. Of
    Nathan and Experience Wheeler, for $600, "one piece of land at a place called
    Northend, * * * lying on the west side of the highway, bounded northerly on
    John Swift's land, westerly on the Naugatuck Eiver, southerly on land of
    Daniel Tucker, Jr., then easterly on s'' Tucker's land, then southerly on should Tucker's land to the highway, then bounded easterly on highway to said Swift's
    land, containing about 117 acres, more or less; also one other piece of land,
    lying on the hill, bounded westerly on highway, northerly on land of Henry
    Wooster, Jr., then westerly on land of s'^ Wooster, then again northerly on
    land of s*^ Wooster, to the O'Cain land, then easterly on the O'Cain land, then
    again easterly on highway to land of Zephaniah Tucker, then southerly on s*^
    Tucker's land, then again easterly on s*^ Tucker's land, then running westerly
    to the highway, as the fence now stands, containing about thirty-five acres of
    land, more or less, with the buildings belonging to s'^ pieces of land."
    Witnessed by John Humphreys, and John Humphreys, Jr.
    He also purchased of Nathan Wheler, a tract of 131 acres, adjoining
    lands of John Swift, Daniel Tucker, David Treat, Levi Hotchkiss, Fitch
    Smith, Capt. Reuben Tucker, "common land," and highway, with another
    piece of eight acres, for the consideration of $4,500.
    Cattle, sheep and hogs still roamed at large on the common lands. One
    item of the record says :—"David Humphrey's ear mark is a square half
    penny the upper side the right ear. Entered May 15th, 1804. Per John
    Humphreys, Reg""."
    A road from Shrub Oak to Derby Narrows was demanded by the people
    of Woodbury and adjoining towns, and laid out in 1805. The following
    resolution in regard to it was passed June 11th, "Voted that the selectmen
    of the town of Derby be directed, and they are hereby directed
    to take such measures as in their judgement shall appear most prudent
    and proper to procure the making of the Road they have lately laid out
    on the west side of Naugatuck River, from Shruboak to Derby Landing, and
    cause the same to be Avell made at the expense of said town, and they are
    directed to collect and apply to that use any or all the monies due to said
    Town as they may find themselves needful."
    President Dwight, of Yale College, wrote an interesting sketch of
    Humphreysville as he found it in the fall of 1811, which is here given
    :
    "Within the limits of Derby, four miles and a half from the mouth of
    the Naugatuc, is a settlement named by the Legislature Humphreysville,
    from the Hon. David Humphreys, formerly Minister Plenipotentiary at the
    Court of Madrid. At this place a ridge of rocks, twenty feet in height
    crosses the river, and forms a perfect dam about two thirds of the distance.
    The remaining third is closed by an artificial dam. The stream is so large as
    to furnish an abundance of water at all times for any works, which will probably
    ever be erected on the spot. Those already existing are a grist-mill, a
    saw-mill, a paper-mill, woolen manufactory, and a cotton manufactory, with
    all their proper appendages, and a considerable number of other buildings,
    destined to be the residence of the manufacturers, and for various other
    purposes.
    A strong current of water in a channel, cut through the rock on the
    Eastern side, sets in motion all the machinery, employed in these buildings.
    By this current are moved the grist-mill ; two newly invented shearing machines
    ; a breaker and finisher for carding sheep's wool ; a machine for making
    ravellings; two jennies for spinning sheep's wool, under the roof of the
    grist-mill ; the works in the paper-mill ; a picker ; two more carding machines
    for sheep's wool ; and a billy with forty spindles in a third building ; a fulling-
    mill ; a saw-mill, employed to cut the square timber, boards, laths, &c.,
    for the different edifices, and to shape many of the wooden materials for the
    machinery; two more fulling-mills on improved principles, immediately
    SEYMOUR AKD VICINITY. 61
    connected with the clothier's shop ; and the various machinery in a cotton
    manufactory, a building about one hundred feet long, thirty-six wide, and of
    four stories, capable of containmg two thousand spindles with all their necessary
    apparatus.
    The houses can accommodate with a comfortable residence about one
    hundred and fifty persons. Ten others in the neighbourhood will furnish
    comfortable residences for upwards of one hundred and fifty more. Gardens
    on a beautiful plat in the rear of the manufactories, furnish all the vegetables,
    necessary for the establishment.
    The institution contains four broad and eight narrow looms, and eighteen
    stocking-frames.
    The principal part of the labour in attending the machinery, in the
    cotton and woolen manufactories, is done by women and children ; the former
    hired at from fifty cents to one dollar per week ; the latter, apprentices, who
    are regularly instructed in reading, writing, and arithmetic.
    The wages of the men are from five to twenty-one dollars, per month.
    In Europe great complaints have been made of manufacturing establishments,
    as having been very commonly seats of vice, and disease. General
    Humphreys began this, with a determination either to prevent these
    evils, or if this could not be done, to give up the design. With regard to
    the health of his people it is sufficient to observe, that from the year 1804 to
    the year 1810, not an individual, belonging to the institution, died ; and it is
    believed, that among no other equal number of persons there has been less
    disease.
    With respect to vice it may be remarked, that every person, who is discovered
    to be openly immoral, is discharged.
    At the commencement of the institution, discreet parents were reluctant
    to place their children in it, from unfavourable apprehensions concerning the
    tendency of such establishments. Since'that time they have been offered in
    more than sufficient numbers.
    In 1813, the Legislature, at the instance of Gen. Humphreys, passed a
    law, constituting the select-men and magistracy of the several towns in which
    manufactories had been or should be established, visitors of these institutions.
    This law required the proprietors to controul in a manner specified, the morals
    of all their workmen, and to educate the children, as other children in
    l)lain families throughout the State are educated. The visitors were directed
    to enquire annually, into the manner in which the proprietors conformed to
    this law. The reports of the visitors in Derby, concerning the establishment
    at Humphreysville, have been in a high degree honourable both to the proprietor
    and his people.
    The manufactures at Humphreysville are esteemed excellent. The best
    broadcloth made here, is considered as inferiour to none which is imported.
    Americans make all the machinery ; and have invented several kinds of
    macliines, which are considered as superiour to such as have been devised in
    Europe for the same purposes.
    Most of the weaving has been done in private families.
    The scenery at this spot is delightfully romantic. The Fall is a fine object.
    The river, the buildings belonging to the institution, the valley, the bordering
    hills, farms, and houses, groves, and forests, united, form a landscape, in
    a high degree interesting.
    The people of this country are, at least in my opinion, indebted not a
    little to Gen. Humphreys, both for erecting this manufacturing establishment. aud for introducing into the United States tlie invaluable breed of Spanish
    sheep, known by the name of Merinos. One hundred of these animals he
    procured to be brought by the connivance of the Spanish Court, from the
    interiour of Spain to Lisbon ; and thence transported to Derby under his own
    eye. A few of them died in consequence of the voyage. The rest speedily
    regained their strength and ftesh, aud from that time the breed, instead of
    declining, has sensibly improved. For some years strong prejudices existed
    in the minds of the farmers throughout our country against this breed of
    sheep. Gen. Humphreys has done more than any other man, perhaps than
    all others, to remove this prejudice, and to spread them through the country.
    In this manufactory he has, I think, fairly established three points of
    great importance. One is, that these manufactures can be carried on with
    success ; another, that the workmen can be preserved in good health, as that,
    enjoyed by any other class of men in the country ; and the third, that the
    deterioration of morals in such institutions, which is often complained of, is
    not necessary, but incidental, not inherent in the institution itself, but the
    fault of the proprietor.
    Derby, then including Oxford, contained in 175G, 1,000 inhabitants ; in
    1774, 1,889 ; in 1700, 2,991. Derby alone contained in 1800, 1,878 inhabitants
    ; and, in 1810, 2,051."
    The employes of the works were mostly Americans, but it was necessary
    to send to England at great expense for men who were skilled in some branches
    of the work which were entirely new in this country. Among them were
    John Winterbottom, father of Mrs. Ann S. Stevens, and Thomas Gilyard,
    son of Edmund and Nancy Gilyard, born in Leeds, England, March 20, 178G.
    He came to New York in the "Commerce" in the summer of 1807, having had
    a very fine passage of 15 days, and by packet to Xew Haven in tliree days sail,
    a quick trip for those times. He immediately commenced work for Humphreys
    and worked for him until JVIarch 28th, 1810. In this year the manufacture
    of stockings was carried on here on a considerable scale. This was new work
    for Gilyard, but he soon learned it. He was an active member of the Methodist
    Society for many years. His very interesting journal has furnished many
    dates and incidents for these pages.
    In 1802 Canfield Gillett was appointed a committee to make application
    to the General Assembly for permission to sell the land near Eimmon Falls
    still belonging to the Indians, (D. E., B. M. D., p. 119,) but the permission
    was not granted until 1810. The laud was sold in 1812. Following is a copy
    of the deed to Gen. Humphreys.
    " Whei'eas the General Assemhly at their Session In May, 1610, authorized the Suhscrlber,
    Joseph lilggs of Derby, in Neiv Haven County, to sell and convey certain lands lying in said
    Derby, Humpreysville, the property of Philip, Hestor and Mary, ando other certain Indian
    Proprietors, under the direction of the judge of Probate for New Haven District, who has
    ordered the subscriber to proceed in the sale thereof, now thereupon, in pursuaiance of said
    authority and in conslderatlo7i of three hundred and forty-six dollars atid twenty-Jive cents
    received to my full satisfaction of David Humphreys, Esq., of Derby aforesaid, I, the said

    The land referred to in above deed as sold to Phebe Stiles consisted of 2
    acres and 20 rods, "beginning five rods and three feet from the northwest comer
    of Col. Humphrey's new cellar, and running northerly by highway to Col.
    David Humphreys' land, thence easterly to said Phebe's land, thence southerly
    by her lands to lands this day conveyed to said Humphreys, and thence by said
    land to place of beginning."
    From the following extracts from the town records it appears that another
    tract of land was purchased for the Indians with the proceeds of the above
    sales. "Whereas the General assembly, June 7th, 1813, authorized Joseph
    Kiggs to sell certain lands the property of Philip, Moses, Hester, Frank and
    Mary Seymour, w^hich lay in Derby and which descended to them from John
    Howder (Howd), an Indian, and to lay out the avails in other real estate," a
    tract of land was purchased "for $230 for and in behalf of said Moses,
    Hester and thfe children of said Mary Seymour, the said Mary being deceased,"—
    four acres, three quarters and eleven rods bounded north on James
    Lewis, easterly and northerly on the lands of Isaac Short, and easterly on
    Isaac Thompson, southerly on land of Peter Johnson, and westerly on highway,
    "the children of said Mary Seymour (evidently Moses, Frank and Mary)
    to have one undivided third. To Phillip, Hester and representatives of said
    Mary, by Lewis and Betsey Prindle." Deed executed June 15th, 1813.
    The War of 1812, calling for men and means from every section of the
    country, though it could but interrupt to some extent the progress of the
    peaceful arts, did not prevent a continued growth of the manufacturing industries
    in Humphreysville. The busy hum of machinery and the sound of
    preparations for war were alike heard in our peaceful valley. A company of
    artillery was formed in Humphreysville, including a few from Oxford, and
    sent to New London and stationed at the fort at the mouth of the river
    Thames. The following names of the members of the company have been
    obtained from inscriptions in our cemeteries and elderly people of the vicinity :

    The company was completed by a draft and Samuel Canfield was one of
    those who were drafted. He was then apprentice to Elias Gilbert, a machinist
    who worked in a shop which he had built near the corner of Hill and
    Pearl streets, next to the blacksmith shop, now occupied by William J.
    Roberts as a dwelling. Canfield was then eighteen years of age and had
    become so skillful a machinist that his employer, rather than lose his services,
    hired a substitute in his place. Gilbert did the machine work for Gen.
    Humphreys. William Humphreys, brother of Squire John Humphreys and
    nephew of Gen. Humphreys invented several useful machines to facilitate the
    manufacture of broadcloth, and the machines were built by Gilbert.
    Gen. Humphreys was always ready to honor the memory of his brave
    compatriots. At a town meeting held April 12th, 1813, he introduced and
    the following resolutions, which were passed unanimously
    :
    Resolved, that Isaac Hull, Eaq., a native of this town, Captain in the Navy of
    the U. S., and lately Commander of their Frigate Constitution, with the aid of his
    gallant oflScers and ships companv and the smiles of Providence, having led the van
    in the career of our naval glory, capturing his Britanic Majesty's Frigate Guerriere
    commanded by Captain Dacres, has in our opinion deserved well of his country and
    is an ornament to the place of his nativity.
    Resolved, that joining cordially in the universal applause, bestowed by our countrymen
    on Hull, Jones, Decatur, Bainbridge and Lawrence, and their brave and
    skillful associates in perils and triumphs, for their glorious naval achievements, we
    judge we have a right in our corporate capacity without showing an undue partiality
    to the first mentioned officer or stepping aside from our municipal duties, to notice
    more particularly his exemplary merits from having better opportunities of becoming
    acquainted with them.
    Resolved, that Messrs. John L. Tomlinson, William Humphreys and Pearl Crafts
    be a committee to collect and digest such distinguishing and illustrative facts on the
    subject matter now before us as may be attainable and that they will cause the result
    to be communicated to the public in such manner as they shall deem most proper.
    Resolved, that from the interruption of our Fisheries and navigation by war,
    silver and gold we have not, to offer in costly demonstrations of respect and esteem in
    imitation of richer towns, yet what we have we freely give, to wit, a tribute of
    gratitude.
    Therefore, voted that Isaac Hull, Esq., being already constitutionally entitled to
    the freedom of this corporation, the thanks of this town be presented to him in a bos
    made of heart of oak, the congenial growth of his native hills.
    Voted, that the committee take order from the Selectmen for the performance of
    this service and report their proceedings to a future meeting for the express purpose
    that a town Record be made for the perpetual remembrance of these transactions.
    Voted, that the committee above named be directed to transmit to Capt. Hull a
    certified copy of the foregoing resolutions.

    While the fathers were intent on raising sheep the boys had their department
    in the new industry, and busied themselves to raise the teasels used in
    dressing the cloth. Gen. Humphreys organized the boys of the factory into a
    trainband, and furnished them with the articles necessary for drill. The silk
    flag, beautifully embroidered by Lady Humphreys, is now in the possession of
    Carlos French, Esq. The inscription is as follows:

    Gen. Humphreys died in 1818. His remains were interred in Xew
    Haven Cemetery. Upon the monument is the following inscription on two
    tablets of copper inserted in the pedestal

    This may be rendered as follows
    :
    David Humphreys, Doctor of Laws, Mendier of the Academy of Science of Philadelphia,
    Massachusetts, and Connecticut ; of the Bath [Agricultural] Society, and of the Royal Society of
    London. Fired with the love of country and of liberty, he consecrated his youth wholly to the
    service of the Republic, which he defended by his arms, aided by his counsels, adorned by his
    learning, and preserved in harmony with foreign nations. In the field, he was the companion and
    aid of the great Washington, a Colonel in the army of his country, and commander of the Veteran
    Volunteers of Connecticut. He went Ambassador to the courts of Portugal and Spain, and returning,
    enriched his native land with the true golden fleece. He was a distinguished Historian and
    Poet ; a model and Patron of Science, and of the ornamental and useful arts. After a full discharge
    of every duty, and a life well spent, he died on the 21st day of February, 1818, aged 65 years. SEYMOUR AND VICK^ITY.
    Mrs. Mills, the wife of the pastor of Fairfield, and sister of General
    Hnraphrej , died in 1815. When the British burned Faii-field, July 7th,
    1779, she fled on horseback, having put her best feather bed across the horse,
    and came to old Derby. The parsonage and the church in which her husband
    had preached were burned to the ground. She afterward had built for her
    the house in the rear of that now occupied by Dr. J. Kendall, and there remained
    until her death.
    The representation of Humphreysville on the opposite page is from a
    woodcut made either by Abial Canfield or by an English engraver in his
    employ, for use as a trade mark in the ])apermill, which may be distinguished
    in the woodcut by the water wheel outside the mill. Between the papermill
    and the dam was the gristmill, previously occupied by I^athan Stiles as a
    woolen mill. At the right of the papermill was the sawmill. The large
    building at the right of the sawmill was the woolen factory in which General
    Humphreys made the first broadcloth ever manufactured in the United States.
    At the right of the factory was the "Long House," built by General Humphreys
    for dwellings for his employes. The building on the right and the
    smaller one adjoining were used by Gen. H. as an office and storehouse. The
    little building at thefoot of the hill was a machine shop connected with the
    woolen factory. The barn on the hill beyond the office spire belonged to
    Abel Bassett.
    There Avas a great revival in the foil and winter of 1816 among the
    Methodists. "Uncle Timothy" Hitchcock was one of the converts. Reuben
    Harris was in charge. He. lived in the house with Stiles Johnson. The
    summer of 1816 was known as "the cold summer." There was frost
    every month in the year. In this year Worrull & Hudson sold out the
    papermill to Ebenezer Fisher and Henry LeForge.
    In 1817 the Congregational Society was organized. Vide page 9. In
    connection with the sale of the old church to the Methodists the following
    from the records is Of interest
    :
    ''Humplireysinllej Oct. 31, 1817. At a meetinf/ of the Brethren of the

    In 1818, Stiles Johnson gave by will to the Methodist Society the ground
    on which the church stands, with the green in fi-ont, also $334 in money, of
    which $134 was to be applied to repairs on the church, the $200 to be kept
    as a perpetual fund, the interest only to be applied for the support of
    "regular Sabbath preaching." Following is a copy of the clause of his will
    making the bequest to the church
    :
    2nd.—I tvill and bequeath to the Methodist Society in Humphreys ViUe the land on
    ivhich the meeting house now stands, together with the Green in front of said House, to be in
    the care of the Trustees of Miid house, for the benefit of said Society, and I also give three
    Hundred and thirty-four dollars of my Estate to be applied to the support of the Methodist
    traveling Preachers as long as there shall be regular Sabbath preaching in the aforesaid
    Meeting House, tvhich money shall be raised and paid out of my Estate as though it was a
    Debt to the Trustees of said House and tJie Interest annually applied as aforesaid. But if it
    should be thou{)ht by the aforesaid Trustees more for the benefit of said Society, they may
    apply any sum not exceeding one Hundred and thirty-four dollars to making further repairs
    on said House, and the remainder to be applied as aforesaid. But if the Traveling Connection
    should neglect or refuse to supply said House as aforesaid then the Interest of said money
    shall be given to such local preachers as shall for the time being supply their jylace according
    to the discretion 'of the Trustees.
    In May, 1822, the Humphreysville Manufacturing Company was incorporated
    by act of the Legislature and organized with a capital of $50,000.
    John H. beForest was the first president and J. Fisher Learning, secretary.

    piece of land on the west side of Naugatuck River, opposite the manufactory, hounded westerly
    on highway, southerly on highway to the channel, where the stream sometimes crosses the
    road, then bounded easterly on said channel to the Rimmon falls rock, thence running on said

    said John, William <^- Elijah Humphreys' land cf to the burying ground, * * * containing
    about Sixteen aeres, more or less, with the full, absolute cf exclusive water privileges on
    both sides the river," cj'c.
    The (lain was soon rebuilt, the watercourse to the mills widened and
    cotton machinery put in. There was then one store in the valley and one on
    the hill near the Episcopal Church, DeForest lived at Mrst in the Roth house,
    on west side of south INIain street, opposite Pearl street, till he built the house
    now occupied by Raymond French, Esq., in which he lived until his death
    in 1839.
    Tlie shop in the fork of the road near the M. E. Church was built in
    1825 by Newel Johnson, Isaac Kenney and Jesse Smith owning a portion of
    the building. The upper part of the building was used by Johnson for a
    carpenter and cabinet shop and what coffins were required in the village
    were made there. Newel Johnson built the houses of Denzel Hitchcock and
    others. Johnson's iiither lived in the house now occupied by Jeremiah Durand.
    In 1828, Samuel R. Hickox, a local preacher from Southbury, moved
    into Humphreysville and took charge of the grist mill near the falls. Rev.
    Amos Pettengill was the pastor of the Congi'egational church, Rev. Stephen
    Jewett of the Episcopal church, and Rev. A. H. Sanford of the Methodist
    church. In this year a bell was first procured for the Episcopal church and
    a stove put up in the church. Previous to this, loot stoves were the only
    means of producing artificial warmth in the churches. About this time
    Judson English came from Hotchkisstown, now Westville, and bought out
    the tannery on tlie premises now owned by Arthur Rider, previously run by
    Benham. The bark mill was further south on the brook just below the railroad
    crossing. About ten years later English sold out to George Kirtland
    and removed to Great Hill. The father of Judson was one of the early
    Methodists, and Judson was a class-leader when living in Hotchkisstown.
    Always a very hard working man and strictly temperate, few men could beat
    him in the field until he was neai'ly seventy years of age. He was always a
    working member of the cliurcli of his choice, and a trustee and steward of
    the Great Hill Society until his death.
    In 1830, Leveret Pritchard was living on the knoll opposite the saw-mill
    still standing near the upper end of Maple street. Previous to that time he
    lived in the house in the rear of Dr. J. Kendall's.
    Chester Jones, a paper maker, built the north "Kirtland house," and
    kept a store in it. He afterward moved to Ohio, returning in a year or two,
    and was for several years superintendent of the Humphreysville Manufacturing
    Co's Papermill, living in the house close by. His wife was a daughter
    of Dea. Bradford Steele. The house afterward owned by William Kinney,
    was built by Jones. He afterward moved to Erie and died there. Ezekiel
    Gilbert bad kept a store below S(iuantuck on the river road, but about this
    time he came to Humphreysville and kept the tavern on Broad street about
    two years, when he built the store now kept by H. ^Y. Randall. Moshier 70 SEYMOUR AND VICINITY.
    then moved back into the hotel and occupied it until his death. While Gilbert
    was in the hotel Moshier lived in Mrs. Bliss' house, corner of north Main
    and Day streets, and built the paper mill.
    In 1831, George Kirtland on behalf of the Methodist Society paid $110
    for the land for the parsonage, including the place now owned by Evan
    Llewellyn, corner of Pearl and Grand streets, and the lot on the opposite
    corner now owned by Edwin Smith, Grand street not having been opened
    until many years after. The parsonage was built the following year.
    The Humphreysville Manufacturing Co. commenced the work of papermaking
    in May with four employes, Chester Jones, Wm. Bates, Jane Patcheu
    and Lois Thomson; but increased the number during the month to sixteen.
    In 1832 business was prosperous and local industries remunerative. The
    Humphreysville Manufacturing Co. employed 18 hands and the 16th of April
    commenced running night and day, making paper for the New Haven
    Palladium and other papers. The mill produced not only news but tissue and
    colored papers.
    Bethany was incorporated as a town in this year, having previously been
    a parish of Woodbridge.
    At this time the store and house, corner of Pearl and Hill streets were
    occupied by David Sanford, and Lyman Smith kept the store across the road,
    in a building since removed. Sanford was called "Pitchfork Sanford." Y'^ears
    before he kept the blacksmith shop on the Woodbridge road, and one day in
    an altercation he killed a man with a pitchfork. Sanford was tried, branded
    and made to wear a cord around his neck the remainder of his life.
    Butter sold at fourteen cents a pound and oak wood at three dollars a
    cord. Factory girls paid $1,122 per week for board. A horse and wagon
    could be hired to go to New Haven for one dollar. These were fair samples
    of the prices of those times and illustrate the comparative purchasing value of
    a dollar then and now.
    A "Caravan of W^ild Beasts" exhibited near Moshier's tavern, in the
    summer of 1834 and excited considerable interest, being probably the first
    exhibition of the kind which ever passed through the village.
    There was a great Hood Jan. 31st, 1835, overflowing the lowlands, but
    doing no great damage. May 4th was the annual training day and a general
    holitlay in the village.
    The hard times of 1837, following years of prosperity and undue speculation,
    when the banks of New York and New Orleans alone failed to the
    amount of a hundred and fifty million of dollars, could but seriously aftect
    the fortunes of Humphreysville, though far less in proportion than larger
    places generally, which had launched more deeply into the tide of inflation.
    Most of the fiictories and shops continued their work, though compelled for a
    time by a lack of a reliable circulating medium to do business principally by
    barter. The Htimphreysville Manufacturing Co. however reduced its employes
    to seven, and May Gth stopped entirely until the 9th of October, and
    the Cotton Factory shut down and remained idle until January IGth, 1838.
    At this time there were three auger factories in the village, as follows :
    Baymond French, Blueville, where Rubber factory now stands.
    Gilbert & Wooster, forges in Bennett VA^ooster's l)lacksmith shop, east
    of row of maples shown in cut on page G7, filing room in the south part of
    Gilbert's building on the corner of Main and Hill streets, and finishing room
    under the sawmill shown in cut of Humphreysville.
    Walter French, near house now occupied by Warren French.
    Wm. Burritt, now living in Waterbury, carried on the stove and tinware
    SEYMOUK AND VICINITY. 71
    busiuess in the Lyman 8unth Building, as successor to Burritt & Lewis,
    wliose store and shop was in the Wheeler Building, at the foot of Falls Hill.
    The firm had been dissolved in the fall of 1836, Edward Lewis going to
    Birmingham, where he still continues in the same business. In the spring of
    1839 Burritt removed to Norwalk. Henry Bradley was then learning his
    trade with Burritt, and went with him to Norwalk to complete his engagement,
    returning a few years later to pursue the same business with M. Bradley,
    noAV in Westville, under the firm name of H. & M. Bradley.
    The merchants of the place were—Ezekiel Gilbert, store adjoining his
    house, corner of Main and Hill streets; Wakeman & Stoddard, (Uri and
    Thomas,) store in Kinney's Building ; and Andrew DeForest, store in the
    building now kept by Mr. Kandall. Ezekiel Gilbert afterward sold out to
    Humphrey & Wooster.
    Jeremiah Coggswell, an Indian, was shot on Great Hill Jan. 30th, 1838,
    l)y James Driver, in the house of the latter. From the evidence at the exainination
    held at Moshier's tavern three days after it appeared that Coggswell
    was drunk and quarrelsome, and was killed in self-defence.
    There was a great flood Jan. 7tli, and considerable damage done to the
    paper-mill and other proi)erty.
    Raymond French's auger factory was burned on tlie night of the 15th
    of July," 1841, but with characteristic energy he soon rebuilt.
    Miles Culver built a house on the upper plains. He was a valuable
    member of the Congregational Church and also opened his doors to the
    Methodist ministers,"services being frequently held in his house by Eevs.
    Oliver Sykes and Sylvester Smith.
    The' Humphreysville Graveyard Association was organized in 1842.
    Anything relating to the last resting places of so many of our deceased relatives
    and" friends must always be an object of mournful interest and no apology
    is needed for copying here the concise preamble and articles of association
    from the Derby Records, Yol. 32, page 51.
    "Whereas, B. W. Smith, Samuel Bassett and 93 others formed an Association
    for the purpose of establishing a Village Grave Yard, and through Clark
    W^ooster, Joshua Kendall and Wales French, a committee of trust, did purchase
    on the 2Gth day of Sept. 1842, one certain tract of land situated in Derby at
    Humphrevsvilie bounded and described as follows, viz: Westerly on highway,
    southerly "on land of Sarah Holbrook and John Lindley, easterly on the Naugatuck
    River, northerly on land of John Lindley, containing two and a half
    acres—now therefore for tlie well ordering of the attairs of said Association,
    and acting under the original articles of agreement, and in accordance with
    an act of the General Assembly of this state entitled an act concerning Burying
    Grounds and places of Sepulture, approved June 2, 1842, do for ourselves
    and successors form a body politic and corporate under the following articles
    of Association, viz:

    Art. 1st. This Association shall be called and known by the name of the
    Humphreysville Grave Yard Association.
    Art. 2nd, The tract of Land described in the foregoing preamble is hereby
    appropriated to be forever used and occupied as a graveyard, and for no other
    purpose, aud each original proprietor thereof in consideration of three^ dollars
    paid by him or her shall be entitled to one family lot in said Grave Yard 12
    by 21 feet, and the surplus of ground shall be held in conimon by this
    Association and may be disposed'of in such manner as the Associatiun shall
    trom time to time direct.

    dates for schools
    Until about the year 1800 the several district committees
    were appointed at the annual town meeting and the laying
    of a tax on the rateable estates of the town to meet the
    expense of the schools was kept up until the management
    of the schools was given over to practically the present
    district system, each district paying its own school expenses
    until by state law the schools become free. The town still
    has its 21 school districts and schools are maintained 40
    6
    72
    weeks in the year. Three years ago the town voted to establish
    and maintain a High School. It commenced on
    its fourth year in September with three teachers and eighty
    pupils. Every taxpayer in the town should feel a just pride
    in the record it is making for itself.
    School districts existed for the convenience of the larger
    towns as early as 1725, but were not recognized by law until
    1766 and had no semblance of corporate existence -until
    1794.

    newtown
    Public gatherings were assembled by the beat of the drum
    until the year 1745, when a bell was purchased and hung in
    the meeting house to be used on all public occasions.

     

    A Sandemanian society was organized in 1740. The
    building in which to hold their services stood midway between
    Mrs. Marcus Hawley's and the Middle district school
    house. The society disbanded in the early years of the last
    century.
    The Sandemanians were the followers of one Robert
    Sandeman of New Haven Colony and were looked upon
    with mistrust, so much so, that the General Court of Connecticut
    at its October session, 1777, passed a "Bill granting
    Liberty to Sandemanian Disciples to abide in the State
    upon Parol, or depart with their Families." The preamble
    reads
    "Whereas it appears to this Assembly that Daniel Humphreys,
    Titus Smith, Richard Woodhul, Thomas Goold, Joseph Pyncheon,
    Theophilus Chamberlain Benjamin Smith and William Richmond
    disciples of the late Robert Sandeman residing in New Haven have
    imbibed the opinion that they owe an allegiance to the king of Great
    Britain and that they are bound in conscience to yield obedience to
    his authority, and have signified their desire if they may not continue
    at New Haven to remove to some place under the dominion of said
    King-
    Resolved by this Assembly That the said persons and each of
    them may be at liberty to continue in this State upon giving their
    parole of honor that they will not do anything injurious to this
    State or the United States of America or give any intelligence, aid
    or assistance to the British officers or forces at war with this and the
    other United States, or if they decline giving such parole, they, with
    their families household goods apparel and provisions sufficient for
    their passage may remove to any place subject to the government of
    the King of Great Britain, or to New York now occupied by the
    said King's troops."

    Concurred in the lower House ' Benja. Payne Clerk.
    The Baptist church and society took its organic form in
    1794, its numerical strength lying largely in the eastern part
    of the town. The church building was located in Zoar near
    the house now owned bv Charles Pratt.

    "the Sabbath Day house was a place in which to take refreshments
    between the two church services, and for social and religious worship
    as the occupants might be inclined. It was built in two divisions,
    one for males and the other for females. Some families would have
    houses of their own for private use. These houses were necessary
    because the meeting houses were not warmed."
    From Vol. I of Newtown Records we find there were no
    less than seven Sabbath Day houses on Newtown street in
    -78-
    the early days. They were all located on the highway,
    permission being given by vote of the freeholders in Town
    meeting. Thinking it may be of special interest we give
    a few of the votes as recorded :
    December 9, 1740,
    "voted and agreed that Jeremiah Northrop shall have liberty to set
    a small Sabbath day house In ye Lane by or against Captain Baldwin's
    orchard."
    Dec. ye 8 1743
    "voted and agreed that Lieutenant Joseph Smith and Caleb Baldwin
    Junr. Shall have Liberty to Build a small house for a Sabbath Day
    House adjoining with Jeremiah Northrop or Separate if they see
    cause. In such place by Capt. Baldwins House Lot in ye Lane not
    to Damnify sd. highway."
    December 3, 1750,
    "voted that Jonathan Sanford shall have Liberty to Build a small
    Sabbath Day house at ye westerly end of John Plat's Sabbath Day
    house."
    December 23, 1751,
    "voted that Benjamin Northrop shall have Liberty to Building a
    Sabbath Day house for his use in ye Lane by Captain Baldwin's
    fence of his home Lott Below or something west of Caleb Baldwin's
    Sabbath day house."
    December 3, 1753,
    "voted that Matthew Curtis shall have Liberty to erect or sett up a
    Sabbath Day house in ye Cross Lane by Captain Baldwin's as they
    shall think best by agreement."
    December 30, 1754,
    "voted that Captain Amos Botsford shall have Liberty to Build a
    small house for Sabbath Days, not Doing Damage to ye highway nor
    any other person."
    79
    December 30 A. D. 1754
    "voted in Town Meeting that all ye farmers Belonging to Newtown
    may have Liberty to set a small house for Sabbath Days not Doing
    Damage to ye highways nor any other person."
    John Northrop Town Clerk

    In 1739, 28 years after the town's incorporation, the
    names of 143 property holders appear on the Grand List,
    and the sum total of taxable property expressed in dollars
    was 46,445 dollars. A poll went in at 90 dollars, a pair
    of oxen 40 dollars, horses, of which there were 202,
    Avere rated at 15 dollars each. A man's trade or business
    had an assessed valuation, varying from 20 to 125 dollars.
    Samuel Sherman's trade was manufacturing and selling
    brooms, on which he was assessed 150 dollars. Widow
    Sarah Beers was assessed 50 dollars on her trade. This was
    taxation without representation.
    Job Northrop was taxed on 50 dollars for "faculty."
    Jehoshaphat Pringle was taxed on 40 dollars for "faculty,"
    and Widow Mary Bennett was taxed on 65 dollars for
    "faculty." By "faculty" was meant superior wisdom and
    judgment above that of their neighbors. The legal and
    medical fraternity were not as numerous to consult with
    as now. Newtown had no representation at the General Court
    until 1747, when Mr. John Northrop and Capt. Thomas
    Toucey were chosen to represent the town at the General
    Assembly in May following.
    In 1744 Newtown was made a part of the Probate Court
    of Danbury and so continued until 1820. Between those
    two dates all the Probate records pertaining to Newtown
    estates are to be found in the Probate Office at Danbury.

     

    on the same site as where the first one stood.
    To those who are familiar with Longfellow's poem,
    "Evangeline," it may be interesting to know that Newtown
    was obliged to care for one family from Grand Pre from
    1756 to 1762. There can be little doubt that the first Roman Catholics
    who came into Newtown came in 1756, not from choice,
    but from compulsion.
    When France ceded Acadia, now Nova Scotia, to the
    English the Acadians chose to remain, though they had free
    choice to leave any time within two years. They refused to
    take the oath of allegiance to the British king, though they
    did take the oath of fidelity. They were exempted from
    bearing arms against their countrymen in Canada, and
    allowed to enjoy their own religion, which was Roman
    Catholic.
    The British government finally decided to remove the
    Acadians, confiscate their property and scatter them among
    their colonies on the Continent, and 300 were assigned to
    the Connecticut Colony and were landed at New London
    in 1756. The General Court at its January session in 1756
    in New Haven passed an act for distributing and well
    ordering the French people sent into the colony from Nova
    Scotia. Four were assigned to Newtown. They were
    known as the neutral French and were cared for at the
    town's expense. Every year for six years their records
    show resolutions that were passed for the care of the French
    family called neutrals. The town built them a house and
    provided for all their needs. It could not turn them off,
    nor could they go out of the town without its consent.
    The boy of the family was finally bound out for a term of
    years to Zadock Sherman, and the man Paul and his wife
    were allowed by vote (of the town) to go visiting their
    friends, relations or acquaintances. As the town could
    not turn them adrift, they voted to allow them to go visiting,
    as shrewd diplomacy as any of the present day.

    always dared to lead where any dared to follow. Draw on
    our imagination all we will, who of us, at this distant day,
    can realize the dignity, the solemnity, of the scene when the
    first little band of eight freemen stood before the gallant
    leader they had in the Town Clerk, and with uplifted hand,
    swore before the ever living God to uphold, and defend if
    need be with their lives, the cause espoused as set forth in
    the Declaration of Independence.

    during revolution One needs only to bear in mind that
    Newtown lies on the direct inland course from Hartford
    to the Hudson river at Peekskill to see, that of necessity
    the moving of troops in either direction, from the eastern
    coast to the Hudson river or from the Hudson river to
    103
    the eastern coast, would take them through Newtown.

    When the historical paper that was read at Newtown's Bicentennial
    celebration August 5, 1905,

    Charles N. Northrop, son of William and Julia Lamberton North- rop, born, Nov. 21, 1859. Attended Newtown Academy and entered Yale, but did not graduate owing to ill-health ; later studied law and was graduated from Yale Law School, 1880; commenced practice in Lincoln, Neb., returning soon to Newtown. In 1882 was Secre- tary of Board of School Visitors ; in 1885 was again elected, but declined when re-nominated in 1888. In 1887 was chosen Town Clerk and about that time was elected secretary of Newtown Savings Bank; in 1891, was elected Town Treasurer, which office he held until his death in May, 1908. In 1887, he married Mary Grace Hammond. Their children are Eleanor Louise and Nelson W^illiam Northrop.

     

    Danbury Newtown line 1758Garshum Botswick's shop, a little south, where we erected a new
    on it at the corner of Mr. Northrop's lot, and then running ye same line
    80 or 90 rods, where we erected a new boundary or monument, which is a
    heap of stones where ye southard side of sd Northrop's lot or land, then
    to a large rock with stones on it gainst Ebenezer Blackman's land adding
    stones to it.

    the present boundary line
    separating Newtown from Monroe and Trumbull is the same line
    that separated Newtown from Stratford in 1715, Monroe and
    Trumbull having been set ofT from the north part of Stratford
    long time afterward, so that it was only six miles from the center
    of our town to the boundary line between Stratford and Newtown.

    Of the lay-out of highways in Newtown, first in order is the road
    leading southerly to the town line, the whole distance now a State
    road that will become a section of a "trunk line" extending from
    New York City to Berkshire Hills in Massachusetts.
    We, the committee that are to lay out highways whose names are underwritten
    have ye 14th day of November, 1715, laid out ye country road
    towards Stratford as far as Pototuck brook and measured it from Joseph
    Peck's house two miles. Sd road is eight rods wide from Ebenezer Johnson's
    and crooks as ye path to ye Deep Brook does and there we crost ye
    east corner of Ebenezer Booth's land, which he had of Samuel Beers,
    which quantity he takes and joyns to his other land. We clypt ye northeast
    corner of Jeremiah Northrop's twelve acre lott from his eastward
    corner which is a white oak tree, and by ye side of ye next brook we
    marked a black oak tree. Ye highway down stream eight rods from sd
    tree. Ye first mile goes 16 to 18 rods southard to a crooked white oak,
    marked. We clypt ye east corner of Joseph's Peck's 20 acre lott as marked
    by a black oak standing on his part. He then consented to it. Betwixt
    this and ye next swamp we began to lay out ye highway 10 rods wide.
    Eastward of ye cart parth it goes to Joseph Peck's 60 acre lot as marked
    trees will discern, the eight rods until over sd Pohtatuck brook ye two
    miles. Here is a white oak tree marked against sd Peck's land. When we
    laid out ye highway eight rods wide over Pohtatuck brook across ye
    southern end of John Glover's 60 acre lot, and up a valley between New
    Haven Plain and Long Swamp, eight rods wide, and so crossing ye old
    road at a little brook as ye marked trees will show, and rocks with stones
    and homeward to ye place where we began to make ye road 10 rods wide
    sd highway comes in. Thomas Bennitt,

    A lay-out, a few days later, from the center to what became Sandy
    Hook and on toward Woodbury

    A town meeting was called for January 12, 1732, "to
    consult what was proper to be done with ye Rev John Beach under ye
    present difficulties of ye town by sd Mr Beach, who hath declared himself

    From 1816 to 1825, the people were without a settled minister.

    The Rev. John Beach after his ordination in England officiated
    ] alternately at Newtown and Redding.

    THE METHODIST CHURCH.
    The first class meeting held by the Methodists was in 1800. The
    first preaching service was held in the house of Mrs. Phebe Peck,
    just above the village, with others afterward in the old town house.
    In 1805, a class was formed as a nucleus to forming a Church organization.
    Later a class was formed at Flat Swamp (Where many Northrops lived) in 1828.

    Circuit preaching was had once in about four weeks, at school
    houses or at private dwellings. The first meeting house, dedicated
    in 1831, stood just north of Mrs. Marcus Hawley's residence.
    In 1850, that building was sold, and a more commodious one
    built at Sandy Hook at a cost of $3,300.

    SANDEMANIAN CHURCH.
    * A Sandemanian society was organized in 1740. The building

    in which they held services stood midway between Mrs. Marcus

    George Northrop

    Name: Hiram Dwight Northrop 1

    Birth: 20 OCT 1843 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    Looks like he returns to CT to run the Colebrook store

    [1900 Gertrude Smith sold to a partnership of seven persons headed by Hiram D. Northrup. All were Colebrook residents and consisted of Northrup, Luther Sparks, Horace North, Julia Phelps, Edward B. Hawksley, Joseph E. Turner and his son, Ralph H. Turner. The firm name was J. E. Turner and Son. Their land title refers to the property as “formerly known as the Rockwell Store”. The partnership did not last long, however, as Northrup bought out his partners shortly thereafter.

    1923 Hiram D. Northrup sold ½ interest in the store to his clerk, Clarence F. Stotts, for $1.00. There was one restriction placed upon the title deed. It reads: “This conveyance is made with this restriction and condition: that for 12 years from the date hereof [Dec. 6, 1923] no person by name of Cooper shall own any interest in the premises, nor occupy any part, nor be employed in the premises for any purpose or under any pretext whatever.” This reflects a feud that persisted for years between the two stores in the Center. Cooper’s store was located in what today is 474 Smith Hill Road.

    1930 S. Ellen Northrup, widow of Hiram, sold the remaining half of the store to Stotts for “a valuable sum of money”.]

    The original store that the Rockwells had constructed
     in Colebrook Center is the building that we know today as the Woodbine Cottage that stands directly behind the Colebrook Store on Connecticut Route 182-A. According to the original store ledger, now in the possession of John O. Newell, it was built and opened for business in 1803.
