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.

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.

The first deed of any portion of the new town was given Jan. 29, 1765, by
Abraham Davenport of Fairfield, CT; to Samuel Hungerford of New Fairfield,
CT. There does not appear to have been any permanent settler here before
Joseph Wheeler, in 1787. John Sunderland and John Mutchell appear to have
settled in 1788, also Gabriel Sherwood, Wm. Beaden and James Hawley from
Huntington, CT; Ebenezer Lobdell and David and Nathan Hoyt, from
Bridgefield, CT. Samuel Roberts and John Leach, from New Fairfield, CT;
Lucius Hall from New Mifford, Levi Wakeman from Norwalk, and Edmund Town and
Joel Barber form Simsbury. 1789, Andrew Bradley, Hubbard Barslow, Clark
Burlingame, from New Fairfield settled, and Jabez Burr from Reading, CT.

1790, Samuel Hollister, Samuel Gilbert, Dimon Barlow and Jehiel Smith
settled. 1791, JOSEPH SOULE were Isaac Newton, Timothy, Salmon, Joseph,
Hiram and Harry. 1792: Francis Story, Reuben Crow and Isaac Luce settled in
this year; in which year also Smithfield was annexed to the town.
Among the names of other early settlers were Jos. D. Farnsworth, Bates
Turner, Solomon Bingham, John Chandler,Benjamin Wooster, ___Sturtevant, Dyer
Sherwood, Moses Warner, Ezraa Sherman, Eli Sherman, Ezekiel Bradley, Nathan
Lobdell, Sherwood Whitney, Amos Thompson, Abraham Northrop. Bradley Davis,

Benj. and Andrew Kendrick, __Story, Martin Prince, Orange Hall, Westover
Barber, Norman Barber
, Benjamin Fairbanks, John Abotts, Joseph Bowditch, and
Jebiel Hull.
Smithfield Beaden was the first child born here, in the part called
Smithfield. The proprietors made him a present of 100 acres of land.
March 1790, the town was organized and first town meeting held--Edmund Town,
town clerk.*
There were several other Proprietors' meeting up to 1804, when the
proprietory government seems to be about ended.
(We have a few more statistics.)
An academy building was erected and the Institution incorporated in 1808.
Upon Black Creek, Fairfield river and Smithfield pond, three miles long and
1/12 wide--already mentioned--are many excellent mill sites.---The surface
of the town is uneven, yet the most part good for cultivation. The town is
divided into 26 school-districts with school-houses in each. The public
buildings are a town-house, Congregational, Baptist, Espicopal and Catholic
churches, and an academy: there are 3 stores, 4 grist-mills, 9 saw-milles
and 2 tanneries.

Rev. Benjamin Wooster was born in Waterbury, CT; October 29, 1762, and died
at his residence in Fairfield, Vermont, Dec. 18, 1840, in the 78 year of his
age. When but 14 years of age he enlisted into the army for 4 months, under
the command of his great-uncle, Gen. Wooster. In his 15th year he offered
himself a substitute for a neighbor who had been drafter for the defense of
the sea-coast, and having served out the time for which he volunteered, went
down to New Haven--then in his 16th year--and enlisted as a regular soldier
for 3 years. The regiment to which young Wooster was attached, joined the
army in the Jerseys under Washington, and shared dreadfully in the
hard-fought battles and extreme sufferings, from sickness, and want of food
and shelter, which that army heroically sustained.
Having completed his time of service he returned home to his mother in 1780,
with no other reward for his perils and hardships, but the consciousness of
having discharged a high duty to his country. All his wages were paid in the
currency of the government, "which sunk in my hand and came to nothing. The
pay which I received for 9 months' service I carried home, and with it
bought a shirt worth on dollar! So fared it with those who achieved the
revolution. Nor did we murmur: we felt that the country was doing as well as
it could by us."
Having spent 3 or 4 years after he left the army, in assisting his mother,
he went to the academy at Lebanon, with the view to supply the deficiency of
his early instruction. While here he had an interview with the minister of
the town, Mr. Brockway, who advised him to seek a collegiate education; and
having made the necessary preparation, he entered freshman at Yale College,
in 1788.
After leaving college he studied theology with the Rev. Jonathan Edwards,
D.D; pf New Haven, and in due time received license to preached from the New
Haven Association, and was persuaded by the Rev. Mr.. Mills of Torringford,
who was bound on a mission to the northern part of Vermont, to accompany him
as an assistant. In 9 months they traveled 800 miles, preaching only once in
a place; and then hastening forward to meet another appointment. This ode of
life he pursued for 4 years, preaching in seven states. In the year 1797, he
was ordained pastor of the Congregational church in Cornwall, VT; but after
a pleasant and successful ministry of 5 years, was, at his own request,
dismissed, and 3 years were spent in supplying various destitute
congregations. He was installed in Fairfield, July 24, 1805. His labors were
most abundant, and to an uncommon degree successful. During the 29 years of
his active ministry in this country, form 1804 to 1833, he preached not less
than 4100 sermons--attended a vast number of other religious and
church-meetings, and assisted in more councils, probably, than any other man
in the State, with the exception of the Venerable Dr. Swift, and received
into the church not much less than 500 persons. The whole number of sermons
he preached during his ministry, it is believed, will not fall short of
6000. Revivals were enjoyed under his preaching in St. Albans, Bakersfield,
Enosburgh, Montgomery, Berkshire, Sheldon, Franklin, Highgate, Swanton and
Georgia.
Mr. Wooster represented the town of Fairfield 1 year in General Assembly,
and twice in the Septenniel convention, convened by the Council of Censors.
He married, first, Miss Sarah Harris, daughter of Captain Isarel Harris, of
East Rutland, in 1796; they had 11 children. She survived seven of them, and
died in 1824, universally esteemed as a discreet and pious woman. In 1825 he
married, second, miss Sally Cooper, of Sheldon, who now survives him.
In person he was of a tall erect and commanding figure, of blue eyes, light
and florid complexion. His mental power were of a superior order; his many
sallies of wit are fresh in the minds of many of his survivors.
"Some few instances are here given:
On an occasion of the annual March meeting in the election of town officers,
some waggish fellow nominated Mr. Wooster for hog-ward, and he was voted the
office' whereupon he very coolly and calmly arose and said, "Gentlemen, when
you were sheep I was your shepherd; and now as you chose to be hogs, I will
be your hog-ward--I accept the appointment."
On another occasion some one saying that a class-leader of rather doubtful
piety, had expressed to his class that he feared he had lost his religion,
Mr. Wooster replied that he hoped no one had found it.
In the easter part of Fairfield lived an old revolutionary pensioner by the
name of Capt. Bobwood. He occasionally came to the Center, to the store kept
by Joseph Soule, for the sake of conversation, and frequently came in
contact w ith his brother pensioner, Mr. Wooster. On one occasion while
sitting in the store, he saw Mr. Wooster come over the green from his
house, towards the store, when he says to Mr. Soule, "I will give Mr.
Wooster a poser, when he comes along." Mr. Soule told him that if he knew
when he was well off, he would let Mr. Wooster alone; but the caution
unheeded, as Mr. Wooster comes along, says Mr. Bobwood. "How shall we cheat
the devil? "Humph," was the reply, "I know of no better way that to give you
to him."
But three children of Mr. Wooster survive him; Sarah, wife of Hon. Harmon
Northrop
, Benjamin Horn Wooster, the only son, residing in Swanton, and
Charlotte, wife of Mr. Comstock, of Shelburn.
he died, as before stated, in 1840, leaving a name which is cherished with
the highest veneration and respect; and which, like the names of all who
have been prominent in deeds of virtue, and for heroism, increase in lustre
with increasing years.

Hurlburt, Mrs. Jane E. Northrop

Hurlburt, Mrs. Jane E. Northrop, was born in Fairfield, Vt., June 25, 1816. She was the daughter of Abraham Northrop, a native of Fairfield, Conn., whose wife was Jane, daughter of Andrew Bradley, who was an early settler of Fairfield at a tune when the residents of the town were obliged to go to Plattsburgh to mill. Abraham Northrop's family consisted of twelve children, six of whom were sons. One son and four daughters now reside in Franklin county. Two sons and one daughter died in childhood. Several resided for many years in Franklin county. One of this family, Andrew Bradley Northrop, became a resident of Arcade, Wyoming county, N. Y., and died in 1881. Jane Bradley was one of a family whose mother was Ruth (Wakeman) Bradley.

Northrop, Thomas

Northrop, Thomas, was one of the earliest settlers of Fairfield. He had eight daughters and one son. The latter, Harmon, was born in 1796 and died in 1884. His wife was Sarah, daughter of Benjamin Wooster, who was the first Congregational minister of Fairfield. They had ten children, four of whom are living: Benjamin W. and Julian, of Fairfield; Joseph, of St. Albans; and Charlotte, the wife of W. Deming, of Sheldon. Benjamin W. Northrop married Emeline Smith, February 15, 1841. She was the daughter of Joab Smith, of Fairfield, the so-called " father of the town," and was born October 8, 1821, and died April 4, 1884. They had four children, of whom one was killed by lightning at the age of four years; Eunice married J. M. Carter, and died at Waukegan, 111., in 1886; Mary, wife of Archibald McArthur, resides in Waukegan, 111.; and J. S. lives on the homestead in Fairfield, The latter married Mary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hand, of Fairfield. Hazel Emeline, daughter of J. S. and Mary Northrop, was born April 8, 1889.

Franklin County is one of several Vermont counties created from land ceded by the state of New York on January 15, 1777 when Vermont declared itself to be a state distinct from New York.[9][10][11] The land originally was contested by MassachusettsNew Hampshire, and New Netherlands, but it remained undelineated until July 20, 1764 when King George III established the boundary between New Hampshire and New York along the west bank of the Connecticut River, north of Massachusetts and south of the parallel of 45 degrees north latitude. New York assigned the land gained to Albany County.[12][13] On March 12, 1772 Albany County was partitioned to create Charlotte County,[14] and this situation remained until Vermont's independence from New York and Britain. However, this did not end the contest.

On September 3, 1783, as a result of the signing of the Treaty of Paris the Revolutionary War ended with Great Britain recognizing the independence of the United States. Vermont's border with Quebec was established at 45 degrees north latitude.[15][16]

Hello,

I am trying to locate some information on a Joseph W. Northrop. By chance
would anybody on the list know if there's a history book for Franklin County
Vermont? If so could someone please look for Joseph W. Northrop and family.
I think he was the Sheriff around the 1880's? I believe his grandfather Amos
Northrop was the first settler of Fairfield, Vermont. Any info would be
appreciated! Thank you!

Formation & Settlement
Fairfield was chartered August 18, 1763 and granted to Samuel
Hungerford and his associates. The town was not settled until the
spring of 1787, when Joseph Wheeler erected a cabin in a clearing in
the forested wilderness near the Fairfax line. Others quickly followed,
many of who made their way northward from Fairfield, Connecticut.
The town was organized in March 1790 and the first town meeting
was held on March 30, 1791, at the home of Joseph Wheeler who
was chosen moderator and town treasurer. Edmund Town was elected
town clerk, Levi Wakeman, constable; Edmund Town, Thomas
Northrup and Ralph Gregory, selectmen; Salmon Wheeler, Abram
Northrup and David Hoit, listers; and Nathan Lobdell, collector of
taxes. The Federal Census of 1791 recorded 176 residents in Fairfield
and neighboring Smithfield. These two towns were merged together
in 1792 to create present-day Fairfield – one of the state’s largest
towns at 60 square miles.
First Settlers
Fairfield’s first settler, Joseph Wheeler, brought his family to live in the
cabin he had built the previous year in March 1788. In 1789, Hubbard
Barlow and Andrew Bradley, with several others, settled here. Polly
Hoit was the first child born in Fairfield on July 14, 1788. Smithfield
Beaden was the first male child born here, in the part called Smithfield.
The proprietors made him a present of 100 acres of land.
In about 1789, Jabez Burr came to Fairfield, bringing his family to the
house of one of the Hoits where they remained one night. The next
morning the two men started to find the lot upon which Burr was to
locate. This was three or four miles from Hoit’s. The lot was found
with but little difficulty, and the two sturdy fellows immediately went
to work to build a house; when night came the building was ready for
occupancy; the men returned to Hoit’s, and Burr and his family took
possession the next morning.
This wooden dwelling contained parlors, dining room, kitchen,
dormitory, pantry and scullery all in one. The house was twelve feet square, built of split basswood logs, notched at the ends to insure
stability and tightness of the walls, and about seven feet to the roof,
which was constructed by using poles for the support of the outer
roofing made of bark peeled from the logs which constituted the sides.
The doorway was closed, when necessary, by hanging a blanket over it.
The “windows” were small holes covered with greased paper as soon
as it could be afforded. This was not fancy; there were many similar
houses

The cemeteries are : The Barlow Cemetery, at the east end of St. Patrick's Cemetery, designated "Barlow"; the Barlow Cemetery in East Fairfield, sometimes called the Leach Cemetery, designated "Leach"; the Bradley Cemetery, on the south road; the Egypt Cemetery, in East Fairfield; the Munro Soule Cemetery, in the western part of town, near Fairfax, called "Soule"; an old cemetery on the Kerley farm, near the Sheldon line, called "Kerley"; the so-called Morey Cemetery on Bryan Branon's farm; the North Fairfield Cemetery in Herrick, near the Union Church; the Pond Cemetery, on the western side of the Pond, near the Swanton line; the cemetery in Pumpkin Village, so-called; St. Patrick's Cemetery; the St. Rocks Cemetery, near Ward Paradee's place; and the Village Cemetery, sometimes called the Episcopal Cemetery, because it lies behind Trinity Church, called "Episcopal."

The New Hampshire Grants or Benning Wentworth Grants were land grants made between 1749 and 1764 by the provincial governor of New HampshireBenning Wentworth. The land grants, totaling about 135 (including 131 towns), were made on land claimed by New Hampshire west of the Connecticut River, territory that was also claimed by the Province of New York. The resulting dispute led to the eventual establishment of the Vermont Republic, which later became the U.S. state of Vermont.

Also in 1741, New Hampshire native Benning Wentworth was appointed the first governor of New Hampshire of the 18th century who was not also a governor of Massachusetts. Wentworth chose to read New Hampshire's territorial claims broadly. He construed the decree setting the New Hampshire-Massachusetts border to mean that New Hampshire's jurisdiction extended as far west as the jurisdiction of Massachusetts extended. Since the Massachusetts boundary extended to a point 20 miles (32 km) east of the Hudson River, Wentworth assumed the area west of the Connecticut belonged to New Hampshire. New York based its claim on the letters Patent granted the Prince EdwardDuke of York andAlbany all of the lands west of the Connecticut River to Delaware Bay.

Grants

New Hampshire

Wentworth made the first grant, Bennington, a township west of the Connecticut River, on January 3, 1749. Cautioned by New York to cease and desist, Wentworth promised to await the judgment of the king, and refrain from making more grants in the claimed territory until it was rendered, but in November 1753, New York reported that he continued to grant land in the disputed area. Grants briefly ceased in 1754, because of the French and Indian War, but in 1755 and 1757, Wentworth had a survey made 60 miles (97 km) up the Connecticut River, and 108 grants were made, extending to the line 20 miles (32 km) east of the Hudson, and north to the eastern shore of Lake Champlain.

The grants were usually six miles (9.6 km) square (the standard size of a U.S. survey township, although the Public Land Survey System is not used in Vermont) and cost the grantee(s) £20. The grants were then subdivided amongst the proprietors, and six of the lots were set aside—one for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts(a missionary organization of the Church of England), one for the Church of England, one for the first clergyman to settle in the township, one for a school, and two for Wentworth himself. The permanent annual tax on each grant, called a quitrent, was one shilling, paid directly to the king or his representative.

New York

While Wentworth's land sales were underway, New York also issued land patents in the same area. However, in contrast to the New Hampshire grants, the New York patents were generally irregularly shaped and issued to wealthy landowners. The New Hampshire grants were "town-sized," and generally settled by middle-class farmers. Most of the New York boundaries were ignored in favor of the New Hampshire boundaries and designations once Vermont achieved statehood, and some of these New York patents are now referred to as paper towns because they existed only on paper.

Royal adjudication

In September 1762, New York caught New Hampshire surveyors working on the east side of Champlain, provoking the former colony's government to reiterate its claim to the area, citing both its own patent and the New Hampshire letters patent of 1741. In March 1764, Wentworth released a statement to the effect that the resolution of jurisdictional dispute required a royal verdict, which he was certain would be made in his favor. Meanwhile, he encouraged his grantees to settle in the land and to cultivate and develop it.

New York appealed to the Board of Trade, requesting a confirmation of their original grant, which finally resolved the border dispute between New York and New Hampshire in favor of New York. The royal order of July 26, 1764 affirmed that "the Western bank of the Connecticut, from where it enters the province of Massachusetts Bay as far north as the 45th degree of northern latitude, to be the boundary line between the said two provinces of New Hampshire and New York." Wentworth issued his final two grants on October 17 of that year: Walker and Waltham.

Invalidation

New York interpreted the decision as invalidating Wentworth's grants entirely—to the great dismay of area residents—and subsequently divided the territory into four counties,AlbanyCharlotteCumberland and Gloucester. New York required that grantees surrender their charters, and in many cases buy their lands back from New York at greatly increased prices. Those who would not pay lost legal title to their lands, which New York then reassigned to others. The people, who would later become Vermonters, petitioned the governor of New York to confirm the New Hampshire Grants; he complied, in part, by declaring that no other grants should be made until the King's wishes were known. Land not previously granted by New Hampshire was considered open for distribution by New York's government.

The New Hampshire Grants region petitioned Congress for entry into the American union as a state independent of New York in 1776.

In 1770, the New York Supreme Court (which included members holding competing titles to some of the Wentworth grants) advanced New York's case by declaring all of Wentworth's grants invalid. This infuriated residents of the area, including Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, ultimately leading to the establishment of the self-declared Vermont Republic and general rebellion against the New York government.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hampshire_Grants

By the mid 1700s, New England was crowded.  Farmers in Connecticut and Massachusetts had used up the good soil.  They wanted more land for themselves and their children.  They started to move to the land that is now part of Vermont.

Benning Wentworth was the Governor of New Hampshire from 1741 to 1766.  He wanted the land west of the Connecticut River to be part of his colony.  He granted this land to groups of settlers to start towns.  These towns were called the New Hampshire Grants.

jeffreyssm In 1749, Wentworth chartered the first town which he named Bennington, after himself.  Some of the settlers bought land to start new farms.  After cutting down trees, they could plant crops like corn on their farms.  Other people, like Ethan Allen, wanted to sell their land to make money.

Governor Wentworth started 129 towns.  But there was a problem.  New York also thought that it owned the land north of Massachusetts and east to the Connecticut River.  Both colonies wanted to start towns on the same land.

http://vermonthistory.org/explorer/vermont-stories/becoming-a-state/the-new-hampshire-grants

How did the Green Mountain Boys help Vermont become Vermont?catamounttavernsm

Ethan Allen owned land in the New Hampshire Grants.  He did not want to lose his land to the Yorkers.  He also did not want to pay more money for his land.  Other settlers felt the same way.  After talking at the Catamount Tavern in Bennington, these men joined together to start the Green Mountain Boys.

The Green Mountain Boys wanted to scare the Yorkers and chase them away.  When Dr. Samuel Adams tried to defend the Yorkers, he made the Green Mountain Boys angry.  Even though Adams owned land in the New Hampshire Grants, the Green Mountain Boys put him on trial at the Catamount Tavern.  They decided he was guilty.  To punish him, they tied a chair to the tavern's sign and made him sit in the chair for hours.  The tavern was a popular place in Bennington.  The supporters of the Grants probably yelled at Dr. Adams and kept him from helping the Yorkers.

beechsealsm Not all of the settlers supported the Green Mountain Boys.  Some people did not like that the Green Mountain Boys broke the law or scared Yorkers.  Many settlers paid money to New York to keep their land.

The Green Mountain Boys also protected Vermont during the Revolutionary War.  They helped Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold capture Fort Ticonderoga from the British.  At the Battle of Bennington, the Green Mountain Boys fought with the American troops to beat the British.

4. Andrew Bradley, son of Gershom* (Francis,* Francis*) and Jane (Dimon) Bradley, was born in Fairfield, Conn., 31 Jan. 1754; lived in Redding, Conn., in 1783, and New Fairfield in 1787. He married, first, Ruth Wakeman, daughter of William and Sarah (Hill) Wakeman, who was the mother of his seven children. He married secondly, Mrs. Jane (Dimon) Fanton. He married thirdly, Mrs. Orissa (Wilmarth) Barlow. He was survived by three daughters: Jane, wife of Abraham Northrop; Sarah, wife of Salmon Soule; and Eunice, wife of Ira Wheeler. His father was probably the Gershom Bradley who was one of the original proprietors of the town of Fairfield.

Also Nathaniel Beardsley & Whitmore Beardsley are they related to the 2 Beardsley wives of David Northrop  (Thomas Northrop5, Thomas Northrup4, William Northrup3, Joseph Northrup2, Joseph Northrup1)??

Sherwood Whitney. He was the son of Silas' (Samuel, Richard, John) and Esther (Sherwood) Whitney. He married Abigail Lobdell, daughter of Ebenezer [No. in above] and Eunice (Bradley) Lobdell. Grandson of Silas and Amy Northrop1722 Whitney.

Smithfield was originally a separate town, located between Fairfield and Sheldon. In 1792 it was annexed to Fairfield except for a narrow strip of land at the east end, which became a part of Bakersfield. Since every one of the families listed in this census lived in that portion of the town which became part of Fairfield the record is given here. It has been copied from the same source of that of Fairfield on the preceding pages, and annotated by the editor of this pamphlet.


Bradley- Wakeman Fairfield Vermont unknown relationship to Amos Northrop Rachel Ives, but Great Aunt and Uncle to Sarah Wakeman Alvord. Not in the picture until ~ 1815-1820 when Sarah and Alvin would have courted. May have had some aquaintace through David Ives with this Fairfield nexus, but probably not a close one.

Only remaining question is that of Thomas1732 Northrop being in Fairfield, CT in 1758 for the birth of David Northrop. How often did they return to Fairfield from New Fairfield??? as opposed to Newtown??

Rise and Progress of the Marble Industry in Rutland
County, Vermont.
from Proceedings of the Rutland County Historical Society. SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING HELD IN CASTLETON. ON MONDAY, JANUARY,
IG, 1882.
Among the earliest pioneers in the production and Side of marble in Rutland county, was Euos Clark, Esq., of Tiiimouth, or Middletown. Mr. Clark procured marble from a quarry oi)ened and worked in the town of Tinmouth. previous
to 1800. This quarry furnished both
white and blue marble; was situated on the land thei owned by Elisha Aiidrus. in the nortli parr of the town. .Marble had l)een Procured from the Andrus Quarry as early as 1707. and we learn Ity authentic record, that in 1708 (len. Clark

"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?? ???

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".

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

      Sources:
      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.

    With the inaccuracies of early maps, it's difficult to tell the exact borders of the older, larger, Litchfield. It may have encompassed as much as with area of green above -- parts of Plymouth, Washington, Kent and Warren. Some of what appears to be a move by Gerrit, may have actually been a change in the town borders.

        Sources:
        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.

    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

    • Note: Removed to Greenfield, Connecticut, where he signed in 1736 as "of Greenfield." ( the "Greenfield" of 1736 extended much further than it does today -- into Easton and Weston even part of Redding and Trumbull and perhaps a bit of Newtown.) ,The Northrop genealogy lists children William and Anna, and says "perhaps others"; it also says he probably died in 1736 or 1737, as his children quit-claimed in 1737. Jacobus gives a much more detailed list of the children, including one born as late as 1743.

    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,

    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)

    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

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. Elisha is in Canaan, ColumbiaCounty, NY (near Chatham) 1n 1810 The first settlers arrived around 1759. The town was founded in 1772 as "Kings District." The name was changed to "Canaan" in 1788. One of the oldest sections of Canaan is Frisbie Street, settled in 1770 by Gideon Frisbie, who emigrated from Canaan, Connecticut.[1]Frisbie Street fronts what was once the Albany-Boston stagecoach route.

    Town of Canaan
    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.

The name was changed to "Canaan" in 1788. 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

    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

    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
    :

    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.
    D. E., Vol. 22, p. 439. The falls property was purchased of Lewis Wain of
    Philadelphia Aug. 1st, for $10,000; being described in D. E., Vol. 22, p.
    432, as follows
    :
    Beginning "a few rods north of the east abutment of the Blmmon Falls bridge, at the
    corner of the highway, thence bounded northerly on said DeForest, thence easto-ly and southerly
    on said DeForest, tlience easterly on highway to Bladen's Brook, thence northerly on
    Bladen^s Brook to Naugatuck River, thence on said River to the dam, including the whole of
    the dam and all the water privileges appertaining thereto, then bounded southerly on said
    Naugatuck River to a point ivhere the highway strikes said river, thenee easterly on highway

    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
    Fall rocks, bounded eastei-ly on said Naugatuck River to the north side of the pathway leading
    from the 7'iver up the hill to the road bounded northeasterly on John, William and Elijah

    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.

    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

    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.

    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."

    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 ClerkIn 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.

    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.

    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

    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.Prob the one in Sandy Hook that replaced the one in Flat Swamp courtesy Newtowns History
    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.

    George Northrop

    Name: Hiram Dwight Northrop 1Birth: 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”.]
