INTRODUCTORY
This second volume of Atwater Iliston and Genealogy, com-
ing, as it docs, only a few wars after the first, seemed to the
author to be a necessary supplement, as so much additional mat-
ter had been accumulated, so main- omissions filled in. and s, ,
many corrections brought to light, that to him it became a duty
he could not let go unfulfilled, knowing that if not put into I
permanent form of record while in his power to do so. much of
it would he lost to the family forever.
Jt has been found advisable to reproduce in full the lineage of
the Atwaters from David, the emigrant, who with his brother,
Joshua, came to America in [637, including the last child horn,
or so many of the descendants as could he ascertained. If this
volume shall he incomplete the censure must rest upon the heads
of those who are perfectly indifferent to kindred, or devoid of the
courtesy that would take a few minutes to reply to a polite in-
quiry, with return envelope and postage provided. Scattered
over this country and in Canada are hundreds of letters which,
if answered, would have, made this work leu limes as rich in
family lore, to say nothing of making its pedigree perfect.
In this connection, to the writer, it seems so Strange that this
should he so. especially in a people uniformly kind, generous,
obliging and good-hearted as I have found each and every one it
has been my good fortune to become acquainted with. Even
those who under no circumstances would permit themselves t"
write the desired information, when called upon personall) were
profuse in apologies, and, in turn, so hospitable and furnished
so much material, that it is hard to reconcile in one's mind the)
could he the same persons possessing such opposite characteristics.
Character sketches, which appeared in the first volume, are
omitted in the second, also the pedigrees <<\ allied families. V.

attempt has been made to add anything to the exhaustive work
of the late Robert II. Atwater on the English ancestry, though
l>\ the kindness of William C. Atwater, of New York, more re-
cent pictures of the old ancestral Atwater homestead are printed,
including photographs of the rich carvings of pulpit and doors
extant in the sixteenth century, with a short description of the
town of Lenham as he found it on two visits made to this quaint
old place in [90] and ig02.
In company with Mr. F. F. Street, of Hartford, a relative of
the family of Mr. Elias B. Bishop, the writer on a bright May
day visited the territory covered by Cedar Hill and East Rock-
in New Haven, which was formerly owned by the first David At-
water and later by his descendants, although in recent years most
of it ha^ passed outside of the family. Mrs. Bishop was Grace
Clarissa, daughter of Major Lyman Atwater, who in his da)
was one of the most enterprising citizens Xew Haven could lay
claim to, perhaps one of his greatest undertakings being the
building of a section of the old Farmington canal, which ran
from New Haven through Mt. Carmel. Cheshire, Southington
and Farmington into Western Massachusetts. Mrs. Bishop suc-
ceeded in possession of her father's home, and it was here that
Mr. Street passed mosl of his youthful days.
It was to live over for a few brief moments the scenes of those
- he desired to visit the old house, and to familiarize himself
with family reminiscences the writer was pleased to accept the
kind invitation to go along. Cedar Hill obtains its name from
having been covered with cedar trees, which no longer ago than
Mr. Street's youth was reallx a forest of this variety. The hill.
composed mostl) of sand, has nearly disappeared; in the first
place being graded for the street and the second cut into for
the ten-track wide railroad which occupies the ground. This was
taken front the farm of Medad Atwater. a brother of Lyman, the
house atid barn still remaining. If the barn could talk it could
tell that it was a DUS} mart when in its prime and played an im-
portant part in the great West India trade which was plied with
New Haven, to the enrichment of mauv of its old families. This

farm was the depot where droves of horses, mules and cattle were
placed until taken aboard ship. They came from the west on
foot, and finished their destination in sailing ships, main of
which were wholly or partly owned by members ol the Atwater
family.
Starting from Cedar Hill along Fleet street, now called State
street, for a distance of nearly two miles, all the houses and land
belonged to the family one hundred years ago. The old brick
house, supposed to have been built by the second David Atwater,
illustrated in the first volume, stood perhaps half way in this
long stretch. From its outward appearance it may well be imag-
ined that it was very pretentious and aristocratic in its day and
no doubt the envy of the neighborhood. The wind and storms
of 200 years did not affect its original strength, but in April.
[905, it took fire and was totally destroyed in an hour's time.
The house visited by Mr. Street and the writer, it is conject-
ured, was built by David Atwater of the fourth generation, proba-
bly taking there in 1746 his young bride, Elizabeth, daughfc
John Fiassett. who was the mother of his twelve children. It
then came to Medad, then to "Major" Lyman, who transferred
it to his daughter, Grace Clarissa, who married Flias B. Bishop.
We traversed it from room to room, stopping in each one. while
Mr. Street told interesting tales of his young life, dwelling par-
ticularly upon the sweet and motherly tenderness of Mrs. Bishop
as she smoothed out his pillow at night and left him to peaceful
dreams. Those memories he cherishes still, but only in sadness
and tears, for the good woman has gone to her Maker, and the
house, while still standing, is only an apology of its former days.
It is occupied but the hand of the goodwife is missing. It is in
good preservation so far as the wood work is concerned, and its
hardware, such as latches and hinges, forged by hand, is a mar-
vel of the blacksmith's art. The children horn in this house liv-
ing to he adults, both men and women, became distinguished as
leaders in society, were highly educated, refined in taste, ol un-
excelled manners, extremely hospitable, and of unblemished
characters. One of the sons. Lyman Hotchkiss, son ol Maj
Lyman Atwater. was a gentleman of most scholarly attainments.

was an enterprising and successful drain- in live stock, especially
in supply ing both mules and horses for the \\ esl Indian traders "f
Mew Haven in great numbers. Mr. Street tells the stor) but
dors nut vouch for its truth that the business* began rather queer-
ly. It seems in the early days of clock making that Yankee ped-
dlers went South and West to sell their time-pieces. Money be-
ing scarce the) bartered mules tor clocks, and. it is said, in one
deal fift) mules were taken for fifty clocks. Whether true or not
the business became extensive and Mr. Bishop proved himself a
man of uncommon executive ability in its management, lie was
a public spirited man. and the world was better for having him
a part of it.

a loud voice, "Have you seen anything of that d — d David Aus-
tin'' lie was answered "No.'' The sheriff continued, "the
cuss broke jail when the keeper took in his supper to-night and
he came this way." The person referred to was the Rev. David
Vustin, who had rim in debt to improve the New Haven green.
Mis creditors, not willing to wait fof their money, had him put
in jail. The minister, anticipating the "line" storm had told his
servant to bring his saddle horse to the jail at supper time the
first stormj night. At the opportune time he got behind his
jailer, rushed out of the door, locking it hehind him. He rode
through rain, mud and darkness to Wcthcrsticld. where he spent
a week with his sister. There he learned a reward was offered
for his capture. Me immediately returned to the sheriff, claimed
the amount, was paid it. and in turn paid his dchts and was free.

atwaj i:k history
is the home of Horace Atwater, an old gentleman in his eighty-
third year, when we visited him in the spring of [905. He was
quite feeble, but conversed entertainingly about himself and other
members of the family he had known. He had alwaj s lived with-
in a few rods of where he was born, and in his younger years in
common with his father, uncles and cousins, had drawn stone
from East Rock to New Haven to furnish hundreds of house
foundations and miles of the supporting walls for the railroad
cut. The whole of East Rock, except the roadway and some
common land near the top. reserved for people to get stone free,
belonged to his family, and was sold to the city for park pur-
poses. His three sons live nearby, two being market gardeners.
One son, James M., lives on his great-uncle George's place, which
has a venerable large old elm its owner is justly proud of. Uncle
George, when he died, left nearly all of his property, amounting
to some $22,000. to the insane poor of the town of Hamden.
In tracing the lineage of the North Carolina Atwaters there
was one amusing feature that should be told. To secure the
names of the family to write to, the different city and town di-
rectories were consulted. There were quite a number of Atwa-
ters who were slave owners, the slaves when freed taking the
name of the master to whom they formerly belonged. Not know-
ing this fact, the names of several were ascertained and written
to for their ancestry. Several replied, but in no instance did
they state their condition, nor was it ascertained until others had
been corresponded with. In this connection is printed an answer
to one einquiry :
"la your letter you wrote that von found children of Stephen Atwa-
ter in Norfolk, Va. Stephen Atwater was a negro who belonged to my
father and was my nurse when I was a child. Ee was a faithful Blave
and with my father's help and counsel he made a good living after
freed and now lives on his own farm and is respected by bis neigh-
bors because of his good character. He is the last of my father's old
slaves now living and if he dies before I do I will attend his burial as
I have done all the old ones who have died. When the older aeg
die out and their influence ceases to be a force, the negro will not be re-
spected as his fathers were, because of his unworthiness. Freedom to

the average negro has hccn a curs*-. The morale of the race is bad —
bad indeed because of the lack of restraint, and it really seems the
tendency is toward barbarism. I am sorry to say it, but the philan-
thropists in the north who didn't understand the conditions estranged
the negro from the only Influence which could have saved him — e. g.
the former slave owner. It may be, however, thai under the guidance
of a Wise Providence it will work out right in the end.

The author is satisfied that he has now traced out the pedigree
of the North Carolina family, which will he found nearly com-
plete. It is a pleasure to introduce them, for though divided for
sonic one hundred and twenty-five years, we find them contin-
uing in the same honest, sturdy way, that all Atwaters have ever
lived.
The following letter, accompanied by recent pictures of the
ancestral home in England, is self-explanatory:
Mr. Francis Atwater, Mcridcn, Conn.
My dear Mr. Atwater: I visited England iii 1901 and again in 1902
and on each occasion spenl a mosl delightful day at Lenham. Lenham
as you know, is in Ken;, mi the line of the railway between London
and Dover, being perhaps fifty miles southeast of London. Kent is said
to be the gardes spot of England and the drive from the railway sta-
tion t.i Etoyton Chapel is certainly a most beautiful one. The roads are
macadamized so that they are as hard and smooth and clean as a floor
and the vegetation seems most luxuriant, the lands being most carefully
cultivated. The Chapel is now a part of the estate of the Hon. Akers-
Douglas, who is the Home Secretary of Croat Britain, being a member
of t he English Cabinet.
The illustration in the liMM edition of the genealogy fails to give any
conception of the beauty of the old Atwater homestead. It is one of
the most charming spots and ideally beautiful old buildings I have ever
•een and I succeeded in getting one or two fairly good photographs.
The house is one of greal interest not only in the neighborhood but
through tin entire set ion. being well known to English archaeologists
and being famed particularly for its oak. The carving in the oak pan-
eling, pilasters and mantel about the old fireplace being extremely beau-
tiful.
AT WATER HISTORY. 7
Back of the house the land slopes to a small lake, being the only
piece of water in the neighborhood, and from this lake very possibly the
family received their name. The whole situation is so ideal and rest-
ful, fields so smooth and green, the old house so comfortable that it
makes one marvel that Joshua and David Atwater could have ever left
such surroundings to go to London and then cross the ocean in a sail
boat to finally make their homes in such an inhospitable land as New
England was almost 300 years ago.
The house is at least one mile from the village and one can well feel
that the village of Lenham possibly has no greater population to-day
than it had 300 years ago. The streets, the houses, the very people, all
seem to breathe an atmosphere of two or three centuries ago. The origi-
nal church at Lenham was destroyed by fire in 1399. The present church
with its Norman towr was built immediately afterward. The carved
oak pulpit in this church, presented in 1622, as a carved date on the
sounding board overhead testifies, was given in that year by the At-
waters and Honeywoods, and from this pulpit the Vicar each Sunday
still represents the Church of England and preaches to a diminishing
.flock. The whole neighborhood is so quaint, beautiful and interesting
and the Vicar of the church so hospitable that no descendant of David
Atwater should ever think of making a trip to England without going
down to Lenham and spend at least one day in the country from which
his first American ancestor came.
1 am much interested in the fact that you are getting out a second
volume of the genealogy and am pleased to send you some photographs
with films that I took three years ago at the old house in Lenham. I re-
gret that as it was quite cloudy I was unable to get as clear pictures
as would otherwise have been the case. For reference, I have numbered
each print. Nos. 1, 2 and 3 give views of the house itself and you can
readily see it. is a beautiful relic of old English architecture. The house
is about ninety-five feet across the front and the brick wall shown in
No. 3 runs at right angles to the house, enclosing a rectangle that is
almost square. These pictures were taken late in the year. Earlier in
the summer the top of the wall is a continuous box of flowers flowing
down about it on either side. Picture 4 shows in detail the front door
with its modern electric bell. This door is solid oak, hand-carved, be-
ing one of the best examples in England of what is known as the Folded
Linen pattern. No 5 shows the mantel and carved oak work about the
fireplace in the main room, which you enter from the front door. The
artistic appearance of this fireplace has been ruined by being lined with
moden glazed tiles and having set up in it, as you see, a wood stove, with
its piece of pipe going up into the chimney.

Westfield, Mass., one Sunda) evening in October, [905. Me was
then in his eighty-eighth year. I lis mind had somewhat failed.
but he narrated his early experiences in a very interesting man-
ner. When a young man he peddled powder for a nearby mill.
Me was ver\ successful tui- tlin.se times and made enough in a
short while tn buy a two-horse team. Me then turned his at-
tention in selling whips, the manufacture of which the town of
Westfield, Mass., has long been noted. At first he bought his
own stock and added a profit to suit himself. Mater a manufac-
turer asked him to work tor him 011 a salary. Mr. Atwater was
agreeable, provided the man would buy his team, which he did
at a price of $500. This Mr. Atwater put in a building lot and
contracted for a house to he built thereon so that he would have
a "cage" when he should marry. Mis salary was $600. Me
started with a two horse team load of whips for Ohio where two
of his sisk-rs lived. This was in the days of wildcat money when
out of some eight) hanks in Ohio, all hut thirteen failed within
a short lime. Me spent several months in that state hut met with
no loss from this cause. In one instance he exchanged his '"wild-
cat" money into gold hut a few days before the hank failed.
There was $1,500 in amount which he carried in a sack in his
Wagon. It was in his possession onl) a lew days when at a tav-
ern lie met a man from the east who had bought a farm hut the
owner would miK accept gold for his pay. The easterner of-
fered Mr. A. two and one-half per cent, if he would take his
Philadelphia paper money in exchange tor gold. The exchange
was made. Mr. A. put the hills in his pocket and that night his
wagon was broken into, it being supposed the bag i<i gold was
still there. Mr. Atwater returned to Westfield to become a man-
ufacturer and when he retired from active life had been for sev-
eral years the president of a large whip company.

ATWATER II ISTOR^ .
While on ;i visit to the St. Louis exhibition the writer learned
of the tragic death of Bertram A. Atwater, son of fohn Bow-
man ( No. 1442). who was an artist of more than ordinary talent.
It seems lie was engaged to a young lady who lived in East St.
Louis. In preparation of his forthcoming marriage In- had fur-
nished a house in Chicago, harmonizing the furniture, carpets,
walls and decorations as only an educated taste for the beautiful
could, when he visited East St. Louis for the purpose of settling
with his fiancee upon the happy daw Before reaching the house
he was accosted by a small boy who desired to earn his grip.
Mr. Atwater, espying a barber shop close at hand, told the ur-
chin if he would wait until he was shaved he could have the job.
In the meantime the boy informed his brother and a negro in re-
gard to the stranger. Then he returned and when Mr. Atwater
started buoyantly down the street with his helper he was con-
fronted with an order to throw up his hands just as he reached
a dark alley, the time being early evening. However instead of
complying he immediately reached into his pocket, seized his re-
volver and fired point blank at the brother who was onee of his
assailants, the bullet entering his head. In turn the other hold-
up shot Mr. Atwater. The shooting aroused the neighborhood,
and among those who hastened to the scene was the betrothed
young lady and her father, who immediately recognized the vic-
tim, but the assassin had accomplished his purpose and death
soon resulted. A search was made for the footpads, but withoul
success until groans were heard comin from an obscure quarter,
when the wounded brother was discoverel. Later, the box and
the negro were arrested. They were tried and as a result the 1
was imprisoned, the negro hung, and the wounded assailant sen
to state's prison for life. A few years later he was pardoned a
it was claimed he could not live long, which proved to be true ;
he died on the journey before he reached home.

io viwatkr HISTORY
THE ATWATER ELM
The Atwater Elm can still be seen at the original "plantation"
of David Atwater, who came to America in 1636 in "the good
ship Hector." and in the "goodly company" of the Rev. John
Davenport, Theophilus Eaton and others.
The tree was planted in 1746 by David Atwater, a descendant
of the original settler; and on the old plantation at East Farms,
now Cedar I [ill, New 1 laven.
The diameter of the tree is fifteen feet. It is estimated the
circle of branches near the top is 300 feet. The height is ninety
feet. The elm was thirty years of age when the Revolutionary
war was declared and must have been a silent witness to many
remarkable events. If it could give us tales of the period, it
would speak of the ardent patriot David and of his equally pa-
triotic wife, Elizabeth.
Doubtlos the tree felt the vibration of the three guns fired at
midnight of Sunday, July 4th. 1779, followed by the tramp of
men and hoys, rushing to the city to resist the •'British Invasion."
With them went David, who left his farm, taking with him
his "dutch horse and whiffietree, and with several friends went
to an armed vessel at the wharf, dismounted one of its six pound
guns, and hitching his horse to it, drew it to West Bridge and
tired shots at the enemy."
The old tree would tell of the passing of soldiers, weary and
discouraged by the hardships of war. It would not fail to re-
call the fact that "within the space of three weeks, 1,500 soldiers
and prisoners- rested in the shade of the elm to partake of the
bounty of the worthy and loyal lady, Elizabeth, and her patriotic
husband, David Atwater."
This statement was taken from an extract from the sermon by
Rev. Chauncey Whittlesey and Rev. Mr. Baird at the funeral of
Elizabeth Atwater in 1785.

My Countrymen — I stand before you to-day as a son of our
common mother, Wallingford. Not unlike ancient Zion, she sit-
teth upon a hill of beauty just over yonder between two summits,
east and west, the one "Whirlwind Hill" and the other "Mount
Tom." From each summit, at the bright sunrise hour, the open-
ing eye can catch the waters of Long Island Sound, flashing as
beautifully before the sight, as when the waters of the great west-
ern sea of Hebrew history delighted the outlook from Lebanon or
Carmel. Indeed, south of Mount Tom, on the New England
range, that separates Wallingford from her other foster-town.
Cheshire, known further north as the Green and White Moun-
tains, and with a bold front seaward, which you call Hanging
Rock, (with its perpetual "ice house,") and closing with an
equally proud frontage to the sea at New Haven, called I'.a
Rock, there was a real Mount Carmel, in the town of Uanulen.
itself deriving its name from that of the "Patriot Hampden" oi
English history.
I am not here to trace the colonial, revolutionary or progres
lives of our common ancestors up to my own childhood, more t
eighty years ago, but to talk familiarly with the grandchildren
and great-grandchildren of those who one hundred years
left the old eagles' nest to migrate hither and go to h
ing for themselves directly on the Boston and New York si
route just midway between the twin capitols of God worshipn
and liberty-loving old Connecticut.
I - \ I w Al ER HISTORY.
Thai was a transition period of historic significance. The peo-
ple had lived under and enjoyed the franchises and inherited the
same rights and prerogatives inspired by "Magna Charta, that
both tilled their souls and swelled the sails when the\ t. »< »k ref-
uge on this rock-bound coast t<> escape the exactions of the un-
christian and unsympathetic rule <>f their mother country.
I heir lives were, indeed, shapen h\ the memories of the pasl
rather than by those of the immediate present or it-, opening fu-
ture : and yet, the "mother nest" must he vacated that In >th mi >ther
and offspring might have a larger and more independent life.
Even in my own childhood there were still living many grand old
men and women, who cherished and loved to tell stories of the
past, which they in childhood oft heard whilst seated on the knees
of tin- fir>t >ettler> of New Haven and Plymouth.
The general occupation of the people was that of farming, as
was that of the ancient Hebrew : hut their lands gradually became
too restricted for profitable culture, as generations multiplied
through their prolific example.
I must he pardoned a personal reminiscence, much needed to
illustrate my thought, as personal reminiscences are what largely
prompted your call for my presence to-day. It is one of my ear-
liest memories, and possibly more distinct because being the first
death I ever witnesssed.
On the i<)th day of December, [831, I stood with my mother
h\ the bedside of one of these grand old men. her grandfather,
Captain Caleb Atwater. IK- was living with his daughter, Mary
(widow of Rev. David 1.. Beebee) while his only son, Joshua, a
deacon in the Congregational church and devoted to its support,
occupied the old homestead, on the diagonal opposite corner, and
conducted its large farming concerns.
( )n the dav referred to. ever active in all home interest, he rode
horseback to the North Farms for the family "grist," took cold
and peacefully crossed the Silent River, at the age of 91. He was
one of these already noticed, full of reminiscences of the past.
Main of these, preserved by my mother, were cherished by my-
self, as among the most valuable lessons of my childhood.
I especiallv rememher finding- his old cockeddiat and sword in
ATWA1 EB II [STORY. I >
what was called the "Tow Chamber" and it was said, that, "when
Dick" (Richard) Smith, the hired man of Dr. Andrews, used
the old sword to cut cornstalks, I expressed the "wish that his
own head might be cut off by it." which wicked hope, however,
was never realized.
Like so many descendants from earl) New England stock and
their immediate progenitors, his name had been borrowed from
the family Bible. This was indeed a biographical encyclopaedia
from which the old stock associated children on their birth with
the names and places of most ancient Bible history, at a time when
many children were esteemed worthy of a divinely promised bless
ing in the home as of "olive plants around the table."
Indeed, the old family Bible had a special "family record" in-
terpolated between the < Hd Testament history and its genealogical
grouping which introduced the historic era of human life that
began 1906 years ago. I emphasize this point to note the fact
that this single Atwater surname of old Wallingford experience
is prefixed by more than eighty names taken from the < >ld and
New Temtament, ranging from Adam down to Titus and Zeanas,
which are as follows:
Adam. Aaron. Abel, Abiah, Abigail. Abraham. Ahaz, Amzl.
Anna. Asa. Asaph, Bela, Benjamin, Caleb, Cornelia, Damaris,
Daniel. Davis. Dorcas, Ebenezer, Eldad, Elias, Elihu, Elisha, Eliz
abeth, Elnathan, Enos, Ephraim, Esther, Erasmus, Eunice, Ezra,
Hiram, Hulda, Ichabod, Ira, Isaac. Jacob, Janus. Jared, Jehiel,
Jeremiah, Jesse, Joanna, John. Jonah, Jonathan. Joseph, [btham.
Levi, Lydia, Martha, Mary, Medad, Merab, Mehitabel, Miriam.
Mosses, Naomi, Nathan, Noah, Rachel. Rebecca. Reuben. Rhoda,
Ruth. Samuel. Sarah, Seth, Silas. Simeon. Stephen, Thomas,
Timothy, Titus and Zeanas. Perhaps without precedent in Amer-
ica's history.
LARGE AND PROMINENT FAMILIES.
More significant is the fact that during six generations "t the
same stock from the first landing at New Haven.
One family was blessed with fifteen children
One family was blessed with fourteen children.
Four families were blessed with thirteen children.
■4 atwa ii;k HISTORY.
Four families were blessed with twelve children.
Seven families were blessed with eleven children.
Seventeen families were blessed with ten children.
Seventeen families were blessed with nine children.
Twenty-three families were blessed with eight children.
Twenty-three families were blessed with seven children.

This instance is not an exceptionnal illustration of the faith of
our fathers in the injunctions and covenants of the Almighty

industry. With the addition of railroad facilities at the foot of
the hill, corresponding to the Wallingford hill, from its church

were laid for its present unrivaled precedence in many honored
branches of mechanical product.
Although .Meriden itself was almost wholly a fanning town,
mulberry trees were cultivated on the western plains below the

enough to make a suit for himself.

Ohio. One daughter married Captain Merrick, of Branford,
Conn., and another, Dr. John Andrews, already noticed. Several
of the Merrick children subsequently made their homes in < >hio,

TOPOGRAPHY OF WALLINGFORD.
Vnii are so familiar with the topography of our Mother town
that I refer to it as a guidt in reminiscences of the past.
( )ne Main street extends along a grassy ridge east of the Quin-
nipiac river and the intervening sea-bed. called the Plains, a mile
in length. At each end a long but easy slope drops off, the one
from the old Todd house near the big elm northward toward your
own Meriden, and the other southward from the old Rice Hall
house toward Xorth Haven, where it blends with the Plains.
This street is crossed at its center by another street (now known
as Center street) and extends westward across the Ouinnipiac
river at Humiston's old mill, joins the old Boston and Xew York
stage route, and connects with what was called the "West Farms"
and then reaches Cheshire. Its course eastward, crossing Mun-
son's brook below Elm street, leads through the "East Farms."
(of which further notice will be taken) to Xorthford as well as
over 'Whirl-wind Hill" past Pistepaug Lake (Paug pond) and
thence to Middlefield and Durham.
From the main street eastward there was one gradual slope ol
a few hundred yards to a long meadow valley east of which the
whole country gradually rises toward "Whirl-wind Hill" with
here and there small streams and narrow valleys intervening.
Along the foot of the first slope from the main street is a par-
allel street, now known as Elm street, but formerly called Lower
street, the present Main street then being distinguished as Upper
street. I shall use the old names. At the very center of Upper
streeet was the historic "Town Green" common to all Xew Eng-
land towns for public gatherings, especially for the annual "Train-
l8 ATWATEK EISTORY.
ing Day," "Independence Day," and other rallies of the people in
mass; "Menagerie Day" being especially honored.
Midway between the center and the Rice Hall house, (Doctor
Rice Hall, his Christian name, as a seventh son being Doctor), a
street known as Gravel hill (from its red gravel) ran eastward
to Lower street and there blended with that street in its course
by the old Edward Hall house (known as the "Dublin District"
with its splendid maples) thence to the John Barker place ( known
a- Pond Hill, a little pond of water near by) and thence to Xorth-
ford ond North Haven. This John Barker, the son-in-law of
Captain Atwater, was prominent in Masonic orders, and at his
decease was buried with full Masonic honors. I remember the
event as of yesterday. His family servant was Cato, the last slave
owned in the state of Connecticut; and Cato in his two-wheeled
donkey cart and "fiddle." always anxiously waited for. was an
indispensable factor when at Thanksgivings or at other times the
ball room of the Washington Tavern was suitably decorated for
an old-fashioned dance.
My sister, Mrs. Gilbert, still remembers that on one Training
Daw old Cato rescued her from the onset of the Wallingford Dra-
goons, when the) suddenly turned the Lewis Corner and scattered
the children, who were not suspicious of the movement.
Castward from the foot of ( '.ravel hill crossing Munson's brook,
a lane extended to the summit of Long hill from which the en-
tire village appeared as if upon one common level. This hill was
topped with slender poplar trees, a land mark for miles around.
and chiefly known for its huckleberries, blackberries and snakes.
Midway between the center and the Todd place at the head
of I Ipper street, a street known as Christian street extended east-
wardly from the present High school corner across Elm street
and ^water's brook, which finally unites with Munson's brook
on Center street, and then crosses a little valley, running up the
slope past the old John Weber and Hubbard Jones' places, and
forming a most direct route to Old Durham. Middlefield and
Middletown.
Elm street continuing northward from its junction with Chris-
tian street, extended north eastwardly through the "North Farms'

and thus formed another avenue of approach to both Middletown
and its cross communications with your Meriden.
The house at the head of the Alain street, known as the Todd
house, from the family occupying it during my boyhood, should
be known properly, as the Royce, or Rice house, having been
originally built, perhaps two hundred years ago or more, by
James Royce (or Rice) the great great grandfather of Miss Mary
L. Rice, the last of the family born in the old mansion, and now
a teacher of higher mathermatics and history, in the Brooklyn,
New York, school system.
From the Todd house to Lower street there was also an open
roadway without a house, but on a short lane parallel with it was
the house of one, John Beaumont, a world-wide voyager, eccen-
tric in his ways, but especially famous for relics brought from the
East Indies, and choice nautical instruments which he had pre-
served upon return from his last voyage.
From the foot of the road sloping northward from the Todd
house toward Meriden there branched another road to Yalesville,
named after Charles Yale, where a mill-dam and factory on the
Ouinnipiac river had long been in use (formerly known as Ty-
ler's). The manufactory products of Mr. Yale had a large mar-
ket, especially at Richmond, Va., as his son advised me only yes-
terday. There was also a road on the "Plains" north of the Par-
ker house (hereafter to be mentioned), crossing the Ouinnipiac
river at Horsford's bridge, and also the Boston and New York-
turnpike, thence running direct to Cheshire.
The so-called Plains road, running north and south parallel
with the Upper street (now your own beautiful "Old Colony
street), had but one substantial residence in its entire length,
namely the Parker house, and was rarely used.
Midway between Center and Christian streets, connecting up-
per and lower streets, was another street named Academy Lane
(from the collegiate academy located there).
All the streets mentioned were lined with choice trees, either
elm or maple. The trees indicated by its name on Elm street
were brought by ox-teams, belonging to Captain Caleb Atwater.
from Cheshire, twelve to the cart load.
_'<) ATWATER HISTORY.
The maples and elms upon the Main street had been indiscrim-
inately planted as the old settlers established their homes; but
about sixty years ago an "Ornamental Tree Society" was organ-
ized by sons of Jared Whittlesey, Edgar Atwater, tves Martin.

nolds, replaced by one of the "Choate school buildings," and op-
posite, the double "gable-roof once that of Squire Stanley," but
occupied by Rev. William Curtis, rector of the Episcopal church,
a brother of Roderick Curtis, Esq., and at present by the At-
water sisters and Mrs. .Manning, all sisters and daughters of Ed-
gar Atwater, deceased.
The old family mansion of Captain Atwater on the northeast
corner, now occupied by Judge William Choate, who married a
great-granddaughter of the originad owner, retains its chief
ancient features, the immense fireplacee included, but otherwise
modified for modern convenience, and the old Atwater store,
dismantled within my memory, but adapted for dwelling purposes,
has been occupied by Dr. Huntington Atwater, who is associated
in the management of the Choate school. On the diagonal cor-
ner the residence of Captain Atwater at the time of his death,
and then occupied by his daughter Mary, widow of the Rev. Da-
vid Lewis Beebee, is still occupied by her granddaughter, the
widow of Rev. E. R. Gilbert.
In view across the Atwater brook were the houses of Hubbard
Jones and John Weber, the latter long since destroyed. Ad-
joining Mrs. Gilbert's on Elm street is the house once occupied
by Dr. John Andrews (who married a daughter of Captain At-
water), but sold the same to Roderick Curtis, of Xew York, who
became a prominent man in church and all other town interests,
and whose surviving- daughter, Miss F. J. Curtis, occupies it.
To the northward on Elm street, the house of John Ives has
been purchased and removed by Judge Choate, but the Mix house
and one other still remain substantially as of old. The remain-
ing houses on Elm street southward, of old time recollection as
far as the foot of Gravel hill, were Marcus Iscariot (torn down
when purchased by Mr. Curtis) and those of Randall Cook, Jer-
emiah Hall, Medad Munson, Sarah Hall and Constant Kirtland.
CHURCHES.
The churches were three in number, Congregational. Episco-
pal and Baptist, each of which occupied the site of those now
in use.
22 ATWATEB HISTORY.
The ( ongregational edifice preceding the one now in use was
built by James Carrington as architect, and its successive minis-
ters were the Rev. James \o\es, who occupied the pulpit during
my boyhood, and for more than forty years; followed by the
Rev. Edward K. Gilbert, a trustee of Yale college, who also oc-
cupied the pulpit for more than fort_\' years.
The earlier church edifice of this society, so-called a "Three
Decker" — after the "Man-of-war" fashion, hecause of its two
galleries — had the old-fashioned square pews of early times.
When the second church was torn down for the erection of the
present edifice, and the great "rooster" weather vane was re-
moved, it was found to have been swiveled up in a rifle-barrel,
which the architect, my grandfather, James Carrington, brought
from the Whitneyville Rifle Works, where he was superinten-
dent, and associeted with Eli Whitney, in the manufacture of
rifles for the government. It was only yesterday, Marcus Coook,
surviving son of Hiram Cook, asked me, "what has become of
that old rifle barrel" and reminded me that he was the boy who
climbed the old steeple, fastened a rope around the spire, sawed
the vertical timbers as he descended to boss the big pull that
brought the spire to the ground.
The Episcopal church preceding the handsome stone edifice
was a frame structure and burned in 1867. The previous edifice
was a square building without a steeple, with entrances from
three sides, and old-fashioned square pews. A pulpit was as-
cended on each side by a spiral stair-case, and hooded over with
an umbrella-like canopy called the "sounding board." During
Christmas week it was elaborately decorated with evergreens.
Close by the old Congregational and Episcopal churches were
horse-sheds and small houses, called "Sabaday" or Sabbath
houses to shelter teams that came in from the various farms,
and to furnish fire conveniences to the church attendants for fill-
ing their foot-stoves with live coals, and brewing tea which they
brought for their luncheon at the noon recess, between morning
and afternoon service.
The Baptist church preceding the present edifice, was a plain
structure without a steeple. Its minister, at my earliest recol-
ATWATER HISTORY.

lection, was Rev. Mr. Havvley, the father of Gen. Hawley, then
a student at the academy, as previously noted. A previous
church, the ruins of which I remember, was located on the corner
of the lot at present occupied by the Wallingford High school,
and was known historically as the Wells church with rather in-
definite authority.
SCHOOLS.
The schools of Wallingford were specified by districts. Those
of the village were called the North and South districts, the oth-
ers, the "North Farm," "East Farm" and "West Farm" dis-
tricts.
The North district school was just above the old Aaron An-
drews homested, afterwards occupied by Sheriff Leander Parme-
lee, whose house was destroyed bv the Wallingford tornado in
1878.
The South district school was just south of the Van Cleve
house on the west side of South Main street, in which house I
was born in 1824. This was occupied for many years by Ran-
dall Cook, a leading Democrat, who then lived at the old house
recently occupied by Beverly Hall, deceased.
At one time in the "Lower" school house a writing school was
conducted ; otherwise only the common English branches were
taught in these schools.
The Wallingford Academy, so-called, occupied the only build-
ing upon a short street (called Academy lane) connecting Main
and Elm streets (then called Upper and Lower streets). This
academy taught the higher branches, preparatory for entrance to
college, but its support failed and its site was occupied afterwards
by the Dutton family. The last surviving pupil of this academy
was General and United States Senator Joseph R. Hawley, lately
deceased. At the foot of the slope toward Elm street was a
large barn owned by Jeremiah Hall. This barn was one of the
wonders of Wallingford. Conversation, shouts, song and whist-
ling echoed with intense distinctness by night or day, to the in-
tense amusement and enjoyment of the happy performers. The
unsightly barn has disappeared, but some of the echoes still live
in fancy's ear.
24 ATWATER HISTORY.
Iii contrast with the failure of the academy as a school for
young men, a young ladies' school was maintained for years with
rare success and excellence by Miss Sarah P. Carrington (re-
cently deceased, past ninety years of age), the granddaughter of
Captain Jeremiah Carrington.
Her grace, refinement and culture were honored by the public
as much as she was endeared to all under her charge; and her
efficiency in church work was as effective and deserving of trib-
ute as were other excellencies of her noble character.
She was the daughter of my great uncle. Dr. Liverius Carring-
ton, and had preserved with great care and pride, for more than
two generations, an old yellow paper, upon which fas the fol-
lowing memorandum: "When General Washington left the town
lor Middletown, and grandmother expressed her regret that she
had not longer time to prepare for his visit, he kindly answered,
'my entertainment has been more than I could expect, hut madam.
your gracious manner would make any entertainment most de-
lightful." "
Of my own early school days, I remember little more than
benches without backs, playing soldier, nutting, fishing, a passion
for drawing, some knack in kniving wood into odd shapes, and
keeping a crude diary. Its chief event took record in 1835, when
a pupil at the Manual Labor Boarding school of Rev. Goodman
and Dr. Hudson, of Torringford, Conn, (noted Abolitionists),
where Rev. Horace Day, late of New Haven, deceased, was my
first teacher of Latin and Greek.
I still have the names of all the pupils, long since deceased, but
a single event, as recorded by Mr. Day gave tone to my political
convictions, that never abates. This school was visited one day
by an Abolitionist from the adjoining town of New Hartford
by the name of John Brown, who talked upon the African slave
trade and its horrors with such force as to exact from some of
the boys a pledge ever after to hate slavery. I lis "soul is march-
ing on !"
Later study at the Hart and Porter Boarding school at Farm-
ington, Conn., introduced my college course, with intermediate
vacations, at my old home, but all the adult or companion con-

away.
HOUSES AND FURNISHINGS.
With the exception of two large gamble-roofed houses, such as
are still numerous in Old Salem. Massachusetts, of which the old
Noyes house is an example, though modified in front, and four
single story houses of the same general type still standing ; all
the large family houses in town and on the farms were of the
same general pattern. They were of two stories, with a high
roof falling back at the rear to a single story and the connecting-
kitchen, each one able to accommodate a large family with trun-
dle bed accessories for the little folks.
From a central hall, just large enough for a small table and a
winding stairway to the upper story, there were left a parlor on
the right of the hall, a family bed room on the left, and in their
rear a large "keeping room" for the family, with a small bed
room at each end for old folks, or young children. All the larger
rooms were wainscotted and paneled in wood, often quite elabo-
rately. Corresponding rooms were above ; while the attic had
its depository for tow and flax for domestic manufacturing, a
spinning wheel, reel, quilting frames, and a loom,, if it were not
in a piazza or shed connected with the wood-house at the rear
or side of the kitchen.
A great oven that would bake pies, cake or bread by dozens
at a time, and a fireplace that would take in a back-log of four
feet and other wood to match, were essentials to every house.
The andirons, shovel and tongs, the bellows and a hinged box
for kindlings and wood were always in place, and on the high
mantel over each smaller fireplace, there rested the dipped tallow
candle, with snuffers, flint and tinder, ready for use.
A spare chamber for guests had its high post mahogany bed-
stead, with valences or curtains of domestic make to cover the
trundle bed when it was hid from sight. For winter's protection
against extreme cold a "down comfort" was supplemented by a
long handled warming pan, to be filled with coals and put to a
half scorching use between the sheets before rest was sought at
night.
26 ATWATER HISTORY.
The invariable well with its old-fashioned sweep, was every-
where conspicuous and a three-forked hook was near at hand
with which to fish for the bucket when it broke loose and -went to
the bottom. The well, itself, was the family refrigerator, and,
when no spring house was near, the butter, cream and fresh meat,
suspended by a piece of bed-cord or clothese line, let the precious
objects of care down to the water's surface for their preservation
and safety.
"Quilting bees" were common, and the domestic manufacture
of carpets and of lace, as well as embroidery, were trophies of
di imestic skill that rivaled in beauty and durability the more costly
products of foreign loom or manufacture.
Of these domestic manufactures too much cannot be said.
Indeed, both gentlemen and ladies were adepts in the preserva-
tion and renewal of the best styles of colonial personal adorn-
ment, and on gala days or night assemblies, the lace caps, collars
and cuffs which adorned the fair sex, were rivalled in conspicuous
smartness and good taste by the silver knee and shoe buckles of
their gallants, of all ages, who were as courtly on such occasions
as they were systematically industrious, frugal and yet prosper-
ous, in farming and manufacture. The high heels of the white
satin shoes of the ladies were as striking as the top boots of the
gentlemen, and even the night caps imitated in a small measure
the bountiful lace adornment of such dress-caps as were worn
at all high social entertainments.
Two specialties of head-covering are not to be ignored, because
simple and useful, and as cunning as they were simple and useful.
The girls, spinsters included, had their peek-a-boo "sunbonnets"
with long neck-protecting capes, and an extension frontward, m
a little stovepipe gallery, where they could whisper, regardless
of sex, and not disclose to the outsider whether their lips actually
touched during the confidential interview. Another apology for
a "bonnet" folded backwards like a carriage-top, at a quick toss
of the fingers backward, appropriately called the "Calach" and
by a handy tape in front could be quickly brought forward to
screen the observer, or the observed, as its owner (perhaps I
should say, its occupant) wished to be recognized or not.
ATWATER HISTORY. 2J
None of these adornments, however, were more becoming or
enjoyable, than the Linsey-Woolsey skirts, linen aprons and
pretty kerchiefs when worn in the kitchen's sphere of duty.
The churn and cheese press were the con-comitants of every
well furnished kitchen or pantry, and about the back door as well
as in the spacious barnyard near by, turkeys, geese, chickens,
ducks, pea-hens and rabbits enjoyed life at the will of their mis-
tress.
FARMING AND ITS ACCESSORIES.
Wallingford farmers generally were of a high order of intel-
lectual and social merit, as well as loyal to church opportunity
and influence.
Their barns were spacious buildings of two stories, with a large
entrance that would admit hay-loads of more than a ton ; with
storage mows reaching to the roof ; with the lower story on one
or both sides arranged for stock, bins for grain, and cupboards
for harness, yokes and all manner of farming utensils. Water
was always at hand ; stock was cared for with patient and unre-
mitting labor, largely raising their own, though quick to improve
its brood from better.
Their labor was so well systematized that it was no loss of
time but stimulus to a fresh week of industry, to take their fam-
ilies in their comfortable wagons or carriages and attend church
regularly on the Sabbath. This brought them to the post-office,
and many social reunions with friends in the village.
Horses were not used for heavy draught, but oxen only, which
were kept in prime condition, and competitive tests for proffered
prizes were anticipated with great pride and ambition as to the
result.
Their relations with each other were fraternal and cordial.
If a new barn or house were to be raised or moved, it was not
unusual to find enough volunteers to put up a large frame in one,
or at most three days, ready for the roof, and, in moving days,
it was not rare to find two 'strings" of teams of twenty and even
forty yoke at hand for the purpose. The boss was master of his
business, and the men were so distributed that not a roller lost
its place. The first start was attended by shouts to teams, and
_>S ATWATER HISTORY.
the swing of the long whips was effected with as much precision
as that of a light battery in motion.
Thanks to their superior women and bright girls of their own
blood, all the details of kitchen and pantry and the machinery of
churn and cheese-press, as well as of wash-board, were admirably
adjusted tor the best results; and while the men were mar-
keting their farm produce, the butter, eggs, cheese and poultry
of the mother's care always commanded the highest market
price.
It was reallv a day of recreation as well as of fatigue when
the weekly or monthly ride to the Xew Haven market gave the
opportunity not only to trade, but to visit the capitol of the state.
The turkeys, eggs, chickens, guinea-pigs and ducks were their
special charge, and not unseldom the pea-cock proudly strutted
about the poultry yard, as highly prized as a choice new rose
would he by the girls who cared for the garden. The cider mill
and the;cider cheese press were indispensable adjuncts to every
farm house.
WALLINGFORD AS IT W \>.
The farm products were generally hay, rye. oats, buckwheat,
turnips, potatoes, carrots, squash, artichokes, corn and pumpkinss.
Soon after the corn was dry in the shacks there followed night
entertainments when the young men and maidens had their "husk-
in-- bees." By the slim blazing of dipped candles, safely placed in
a large apple or turnip, and to he snuffed with the ringers, there
began the jolly sport of eager watching for the red ears. Then
mid laughter and no little blushing, the standard prize or penalty
that fell to the possessor evolved shouts of applause or derision
and suspicious guesses as to the future lot of both young man
and maiden who took a prize or suffered the penalty.
( )f course every farm whether attached to the village or else-
where had its apple, pear, and peach orchards, as well as its
quince and apricot, hop vines and asparagus beds. Smaller fruits
as well as vegetable and flowers, belonged to the "family gar-
den" and were especially under the mother's care.

POWER, FACTORIES, INVENTION.
Wallingford center was so remote from the river where Hum-
inston had built his successful mill, that nearer avenues of wa-
terpower became a matter of necessity as well as of economy.
Just over the hill, eastward on Christian street, there was a valley
and quite a powerful stream (known as George Cook's brook).
At its crossing the road to Durham, a dam was built by Leander
Parmelee, where he erected a small factory. This stream con-
tinued through the same valley, southward, and made a turn
westward just as it reached the extension of Center street to the
east. At this point James Carrington erected a heavy dam and
built a factory. The "escape water" from this dam formed the
Munson brook, which at Center street was joined by the Atwater
brook, before noticed.
To substitute mechanical means in the place of the old mortar
and pestle for family use in grinding coffee and spices, Mr. Car-
rington invented and for a long time manufactured under his pat-
ent the first hand coffee and spice mill ever fabricated.
From the waste water from this dam, the Pomeroy brothers
manufactured buttons, razor-straps, gimblets and other useful ar-
ticles, and Elihu Hall erected a factory for Japanned ware, wood-
en bowls and wagon-fittings.
Mr. Carrington also rented the Parmelee factory, before no-
ticed, where he manufactured from mahogany the first parallel
"rulers" ever invented.
On the North Farms at the original source of the water sup-
ply, that successively filled the Parmelee and Carrington ponds,
Mr. William Hill also erected a dam and factory for manufactur-
ing purposes. Among his specialties were boxwood combs, both
single and folding combs. Harvey S. Hall made wagon-poles,
whiffietrees, etc. The Wallaces, since becoming famous in their
silver manufacture, on the Quinnipiac river, made beginnings
with metallic spoons of German silver, in 1835.
Friction matches were also made on the North Farms, variously
known among us either as "brimstone matches" or "Lucifer
matches." Nathan Fenn, a specialist, commended his original
packages by this brilliant effusion. "Nathan Fenn's matches are

all verv good. They are made of brimstone, phosporous and
wood." It cannot be questioned that more light has been struck
through this Wallingford invention than from any other sources,
except those that are either solar or through electricity.
At the head of the Atwater brook, just beyond the old Ives
house, north of Christian street, the same Parmelee built a dam
and a factory to be rented for various uses. Not long after this,
Edgar Atwater erected a dam and factory two miles below the
rlummiston mill on the Quinnipiac river. This mill was at the
head of tidewater, and a long time ago small sloops and schoon-
ers were built there and floated to Fair Haven for complete equip-
ment. Such, at least, is matter of tradition, not of individual
recollection.
These business ventures gave employment to many young men
and afforded to Wallingford a valuable export trade and laid the
foundation for other developments, which in the case of the Car-
rington pond, finally resulted in the immense establishment of sil-
verware of Simpson & Company, with a market world-wide of
its enduring success. The Wallaces also after the introduction
of steam, engaged in the silverware business near the river, and
the present extensive establishments erected on the old "Plains"
testify to the wisdom and sagacity of those who substituted man-
ufacture for worn-out farming in good old Wallingford.
WALLINGFORD INDEPENDENT.
A crowning element of the stability and growth of Walling-
ford was its practical indepnedence of the outside world for its
own mechanical necessities. The stores of Carrington & Rut-
land, Jared Lewis, Aimer Hall, and Captain Atwater. were first-
class for the period, and dry goods, hardware groceries, farm
and garden implements as well as cheap candies, cocoanuts and
peanuts were always kept in good supply. Drugs of all kinds,
fluid, solid or dried herbs and pills together with ball liquorice
and stick liquorice and a few candles were kept by Dr. Barker,
Dr. Friend Cook and Dr. Harrison, his successor, at their home
ofhe

tion and converted into a residence for his son John who suc-
ceeded to the practical management of his large farm, was pecu-
liar in its supplies. It was close by the homestead at the corner
of Christian and Elm streets. A husiness with the West Indies
and with Mediterranean ports demanded the erection of a large
barn near by, called the "Potash" and potash, saltpeter, charcoal,
lime and similar products were its sole deposits.
From these the materials for powder were procured for Wash-
ington's army while at Newport, and the store itself had a large
trade with Durham and other towns east and northeast of Wal-
lingford.
Three large wagon, cart and carriage shops, that were really
factories, viz.. those of Munson, Beadles and Thompson, so thor-
ouoghly made, painted and finished their products, that their own-
ers commanded markets beyond the town limits. For leather-
belting, or shoe fittings required by its shoemakers or ordinary
cobblers, there was little need to go even to New Haven, except
for Morocco and some fancy leather. The tannery of Medad
Munson was on a large scale, and also commanded other than
home patronage. The Ward Brothers at the northwest corner
of Main street and Gravel Hill, were not only hatters and carpet
weavers, but manufacturers of pewter coffee and teapots, and for
want of water power, used what was called sweep-power. The
track upon which the horse in his circuit developed this power
soon went to grass, spoiling the fun of rude boys, who used
birch stimulants when the old horse became too lazy.
The autumn hog and beef killing not only supplied the farm-
ers' cellars with its beef and hams fresh from the smoke house.
but a surplus for others who did not kill stock of their own. so
that it was a long time before Jeremiah Hall set in motion his
butchering and meat deliveries that finally made a meat market
a necessity in the town.
Most families kept pigs, which fed from troughs of their own.
and the dipping of tallow candles was as common in the homes as
the preparation of the sausage for the winter's use.
At the spring "shad haul" on the Connecticut, a supply was
procured to be salted for winter's use. and great bins of potatoes

in everybody's cellar together with other garden vegetables, care-
fully cultivated in garden patches, were adequate for almost town
necessities.
For everything raised beyond the town needs. New Haven
was a ready market, and for a series of years the poor house
of Wallingford, was peopled by few who needed its assistance or
self-support.
BOOKS AND EDUCATIONAL CULTURE.
[would, indeed, be wanting in appreciation of "Wallingford
a^ it was' and has been, if I failed to make mention of the fact
that her close relation to New Haven, as well as to Hartford and
Middletown, made for the families of the Congregational, Episco-
pal and Baptist churches welcome resorts for the education of her
youth, which abundantly supplied the place, and made unneces-
sary the academy once started in their midst. The preparatory
schools for higher education at the colleges of the respective de-
nominations at those places, and the Episcopal school at Cheshire,
were of easy and frequent access, and Yale college not only was
represented at Wallingford for more than a century by a mem-
ber of her board of trustees (called fellows), but Wallingford
young men, even within my memory, took the valedictory at Vale.
as well as one at Princeton, and several of her sons became most
distinguished lawyers, judges, bankers and educators west of
the Alleghanies.
By the side of the fireplace in nearly every homestead was a
book cupboard. Standard commentaries upon the Bible, suited
to each church connection were there. The "Pilgrims' Prog-
ress" and standard works of all kinds with a good English dic-
tionary were there. Of clean fiction the "Scottish Chiefs" and
"Thaddeus of Warsaw" were favorites, as well as Scott's work
when they appeared. Robinson Crusoe and the Arabian Nights
and "Mother < loose" and other literature were there, all of which
was in good English vernaculary, fitted to teach the language
and stimulate thought. And not least of all. as an auxiliary was
the fact that "hired man" or "family help" when needed in the
kitchen, could read the English language and speak it correctly.

GENEALOGY AND HISTORY.
FIRST GENERATION.
1. David Atwater, son of Thomas and Susan Narsen, baptized in Len-
ham church October 8, 1615. He was born in Royton in Lenham, Eng-
land, and in the month in which he became twenty-one years of age,
October, 1636, his father died, and his mother died scarcely more than
two months later, — in January, 1637. In less than six months from the
latter event, June 26, 1637, the brothers, Joshua and David, with their
sister Ann, arrived in Boston. It cannot be doubted that their ar-
rangements for removal, so hastily made at that time of general dis-
content and apprehension in church and state affairs, involved large pe-
cuniary sacrifices.
It is seen that David was in his twenty-second year when he came to
New England in 1637. If he was one of those who accompanied Mr.
Eaton to Quinnipiack in the autumn of that year, he returned to Boston,
for only seven of the company, of whom Joshua was one, remained at
Quinnipiack. It may be believed that David and his sister Ann, re-
maining in Boston that winter, sailed with the company for their new
home in the spring of 1638. He signed the plantation covenant June 4,
1639, the day of the meeting of the constituent assembly in Mr. New-
man 's barn, which was the commencement or foundation of the Colony
of New Haven.
He was unmarried previous to 1643, when he appears alone on the
list of planters, with a valuation upon his estate of £500, "according t)
which he will pay his proportion in all Rates and Public charges from
time to time to be assessed for civil uses, and expect Lands in all divi-
sions which shall generally be made to the planters." He was one of
twenty-nine whose estates were on the list at £500 or more.
He married Damaris Sayre, daughter of Thomas Sayre, of Southamp-
ton, L. I., before March 10, 1646-7, the date of the General Court, whi 1
the name of "David Atwater's wife" was read among those seated i 1
the meeting-house. She died April 7, 1691. Upon the union of the New
Haven and Connecticut Colonies, consummated nt :i General Courl held
at Hartford, May 11, 1665, David Atwater was the first of the New li-
ven Colony who was sworn a freeman of the united colony, lie died Oc-
tober 5, 1692.

Francis At water, Esq.:
Meriden, Conn.
Dear Sir: — Jacob Atwater and family have a well-filled place in you]
Atwater History. I would have used some of its records (with your
consent) in my Colonial History, if access to it was known, while looking
for such material. I have a photo of the old Bradley House there. The
Bradley boys (4) and two girls were schoolmates with me. They all left
the old home which has become sadly demoralized in looks and thrift.
Quite a romance now hangs over the place. Fenn became owner of the
farm and built a new house. He had some money acquired in manufac-
ture. For many years Fenn has lived there alone — his wife died and
children left him. He died last August or about that time, having beea
injured by a passing train of cars. His estate is valued at more than
$10,000, much invested funds. The farm is a wreck. $800 or more in
cash has been found secreted in small sums about the house and barn.
Forty pocketbooks, most of them containing money, were scattered
about. Some of the money was tucked away behind barrels in the cellar.
The place has become one of Connecticut's abandoned farms with even
$10,000 in possession. When in possession of Jacob Atwater prosperity
must have smiled there, and a son graduated from Yale, Rev. Jason At-
water. Very briefly yours,
J. H. DICKERMAX.

into the marig covenant again, and as you have sent to us to know our
minds, we take it well, and as to the man we hear you are agoing to
have, we have been formerly well acquainted with him and we have
reason to respect him well. So that no objection ariseth there, and as
for your circumstances in the world you know them much better than
we doe, and herefore we are willing to leave the mater with you, hop-

notwithstanding what I have written above, you may understand your

Of Timothy it is related during the invasion of New Haven by the
British July 5, 1779, was a member of a military company in New
Haven. He had gone out early in the morning to work in a field some-
where in the region of Hillhouse avenue. Hearing the alarm guns he
started to return to town. On the road he met a woman whom he knew
hurrying out of town with a cat in her arms. Calling her by name he
said, "What is the matter?" She cried out that the enemy were com-
ing. "But where are your children?" "Why at home, I suppose,"
was her reply. "Well," said Mr. Atwater, "hadn't you better go
back and get them and leave the cat?" "Perhaps I had," she an-
swered and went back. After the enemy got possession of the town
Mr. Atwater's house was entered among others by them. A soldier
who went in, finding some of the females of the family, attempted to
kiss one of them, but being resisted withdrew from his undertaking.
Another, who had a long, straight sword, probably that of a sergeant,
went down into the cellar and thrust it several times into the pork
barrel till he succeeded in transfixing some pieces of pork, when he
went off with his prize.

Mr. Francis Atwater,
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 21, 1904.
Dear Sir: I have your letter of the 18th, regarding Mr. Reuben A 1 1 -
water. I had read the printed article you sent before, and there must
be either a mistake in that or in your letter. According to the book, he
died after 1858; according to your letter he died in 1831. You ask
whether our probate records go as far back as 1831. The official rec-
ords of this county go back to 1796, but I have copies of records per-
taining to the county that go back to 1701. The British records, of
which I also have copies, commence at 1760.
Mr. Attwater did not die in Detroit. He came here either in 1805
or shortly after, as secretary to Gov. Wm. Hull — that is, secretary of
the territory. He remained here unil 1812, and apparently left before
Detroit was taken by the British.
I do not think he was a prisoner, and my reason for so thinking is,
that in 1814, William Woodbridge was appointed secretary in his place,
and Attwater called upon Pres. Madison, and told him that he was will-
ing to return to Detroit, and wanted to know why he had been super-
ceded. Mr. Madison told him that there should have been no necessity
for him returning to Detroit, as he had never been ordered to leave that
place. This piece of information is contained in a letter in my posses-
sion, written at that time by a member of Congress from Ohio, who had
JO ATWATER HISTORY.
been instrumental iu getting Woodbridge appointed, and I have no
doubt that the story came from Madison himself. I have a good many
papers, official and unofficial, in my collecions, signed by Mr. Attwater.
I presume I could write a fairly good sketch of his life from such in-
formation as I possess. I think I have seen a sketch somewhere, but I
do not now recall where. It is a matter of no great importance to me
just at this time, but I was looking over his old correspondence regard-
ing Woodbridge and Cass, and Meigs and McArthur and I found it very
interesting and took a few items out of it for an address, which I ex-
pect to deliver in a few days in this city.
If you should run across any details regarding his life, I will be glad
to have them. ■ Eespectfully yours,
C. M. BUETON.

74 ATWATER EISTORY.
He was the earliest historian of Ohio; had a national reputation. His
life was long and included many vocations — minister, lawyer, educator,
business man, legislator, Indian commissioner, author and antiquarian.
Mr was a direct descendant of David Atwater, one of the wealthiest of
tin' original settlers who founded New Haven, in 103s, and tins.' were
among the most reputable and affluent of all the body of colonists in
America. All of that old New England stock is nearly related. Al-
most the entire emigration was in fourteen years, from 1638 to 1652,
when 20,000 people in all came over. After that they came simply as
snow flurries after a storm. These 20,000 married young and had large
families, often a dozen children each, so that at the beginning of this
century they had increased to over a million. The result is, as eenealo-
gists ascertain, all are about in some degree of cousinship to the rest.
Caleb Atwater was born on Christmas day, 1778, at North Adams,
Massachusetts, was educated at Williams College where he took the
highest honors ever awarded, receiving both degrees of A. B. and A. M.,
upon commencement day. He had charge of a young ladies' seminary
in New York City and at the same time studied theology, was ordained
a Presbyterian minister, married Miss Diana Lawrence of the celebrated
Lawrence stock, by whom he had a daughter, who died in infancy. His
wife quickly followed her offspring and was deeply lamented. Later,
Rev. Mr. Atwater studied law, having left the ministry on account of
ill health, was admitted to the bar and married again — a Miss Belinda
Butler, of Pompey, New York, daughter of Judge Butler. He then went
into business and not succeeding to his satisfaction went west and es-
tablished himself in Circleville in 1815. He resumed the practice of law,
was sent to the Ohio legislature where he championed the cause of the
common school and framed the first statute upon the subject passeW by
the commonwealth. He was also one of the original minority to advo-
cate the introduction of canals and when finally the first one was opened
he accompanied Gov. DeWitt Clinton, of New York, upon a triumphal
tour throughout the state, as a tribute to the interest of the former in such
projects elsewhere. At the close of his legislative duties he was sent by
President Jackson as commissioner to the Winnebago Indians and other
tribes, at Galena, Illinois and Prairie du Chien.
He early turned his attention to authorship, and his first book grew
out of his coming to a town which was built around a circle, laid out
by the mound builders. They had arranged their dwellings around it
as a nucleus, put their Temple of Justice i. e. the Pickaway County Court
House in the center, and radiated their streets from the circumference.
Thus becoming interested in Archaeology he issued his "Archaelogia
Americana upon Western Antiquities. ' ' This work attracted great at-
tention from foreign savants and he was elected to membership in the
principal scientific societies of Europe. His fame also as an original

investigator upon such lines was widely conceded in this land. Later he
published "A Tour to Prairie du Chien, " " Washngton, ' ' "An Essay-
on Education," "Writings of Caleb Atwater, " and in 1838, his cele-
brated "History of Ohio."
.He was a man of marked physique — heavily moulded, with dark
and complexion and a Roman nose — characteristics of the Atwater per-
sonality. He was a wonderful talker and had an encyclopaedic mind.
He was said to be informed to the least detail upon every known subject.
He was the associate of the first men of Ohio and the country. His
friendship was greatly valued and his power in epigrammatic speech
made his comments notable. A theme upon which he often dilated was
his visits to President Jackson, both at the Hermitage, and also at the
White House. He exercised a remarkable influence upon the thought of
his time. He died in Circleville March 16, 1867, aged 89 years, uni-
versally lamented and was buried in Forest cemetery, which overlooks
the city of his regard. He had a large family who have represented his
traits of versatility and accurate scholarship in many walks of life.

The following letter is from John to his sister Abigail in 1831, show-
ing how great the distances seemed and the chance methods of sending
mail, it being sent from Genoa, N. Y., to Hamden, Conn.
Dear Sister : Although I have long been absent from you, I have not
forgotten you. I should be glad to see you, but it is not probable that we
shall ever meet again in this world, for the combined infirmities of age
will compel both you and me to remain near our dwellings, and to re-
tire from the business of life.
My health is as good as I could expect, and I fondly hope that you
are enjoying the same blessing, and may you continue to enjoy blessings,
both temporal and spiritual, the few remaining days you have to spend
here on earth.
My family are in usual health. Our sisters Sally and Susan are well.
Susan's son Jason is sick; it is not probable that he will survive but a
few days. It would be pleasing to me to see you, but I suppose that
your advanced age will prevent you from undertaking so great a jour-
ney; and it is not probable that I shall ever be able to visit you. Brother
Caleb's son Jesse is dead. He died about three weeks ago from a fit of
apoplexy. He had been from home on business, and had returned with
one of his neighbors, with whom he proposed to tarry during the night.
86 ATWATER HISTORY.
He accordingly seated himself before the fire, and soon after fell from
his chair dead.
I expect to send this by Mr. Timothy Goodyear. He will tell you more
about our friends than 1 have time to write. Mrs. Atwater wishes to be
remembered to you. Give my best respects to Mr. Foot and wife. My
Susan sends her complimens to you all. I should be glad to hear from
you often. Write by bearer of this if you can.
I still remain your affectionate brother,
John Atwater.

at Buffalo. Her husband met her there ami as the boat was several
hours late. Lis anxiety about his wife and infant son can well be imag-
ined. They crossed the lake to Cleveland, and thence in a canal boat
to Massillon, then in its infancy, with but few scattered houses. h,
1840 Mr. Atwater died, leaving her with four little children, an infant
daughter having died one week before. When her son-in-law, Jacob L.
Baehtel, died in 1879, she went to live with her daughter, where she
remained until her death March 1, 1903. Mis. Atwater became a mem-
ber of the Methodist church in 1842 ami for many years was an active
working member, and later on a living example of patiently waiting for
the Master's call, she had a sweet, amiable temper, cheerful disposi-
tion, industrious to an unsuual degree and will always be remembered as
sitting plying her needle, with which she was very expert; had an ex-

Mr. Francis Atwater :
Dear Sir: On page 190 of the first volume Atwater History, you re-
fer to Enos Atwater as marrying Elizabeth Bentley, of Kingston, Ontario.
Canada. Enos Atwater and Elizabeth Bentley, his wife, were my grand-
father and grandmother. They had three boys and seven girls, the
names of which I give you herewith: Lucinda, eldest, was born at Kings-
ton, Ontario, Canada, 1811. She married James McCarroll, a farmer
near Kingston. I know nothing of her family. 1 understand thai she did
not live to be old. The next child was Susan, born 1812, married Solomon
B. Williams, afterwards moved near Ashtabula, Ohio; the third daugh-
ter was Barbara, born 1814, married Henry Dudley, of near Ashtabula,
Ohio; then there w r as a son, Ulysses, born 1816. He was raised near Ash-
tabula, Ohio, and resided there all his life. He had four wives, one of
them now surviving him. He was accidentally killed by an express train
while crossing the track near his home, about 1900 or 1901. Myron was
born 1818 near Ashtabula, Ohio, moved to Michigan City, Indiana, where
he married Delia Dyer. He had quite a family of children. Phoebe
Emeline, my mother, was born June 11, 1820, married Norman Cross when
she w r as but eighteen years of age, removed to Yalpariso, Ind., where
their family was raised. Emily, born, 1821, married Archibald Harper.
a farmer at Door Village, Layport Co., Indiana; Harriet, born ls22. mar-
ried a Mr. Beebe, a farmer, near Valpariso, Ind.; Samuel and Elizabeth,
twins, were born in 1823. Samuel married Jane McKinley, at Janes-
ville, Wis. (a relative of Wm. McKinley, late president of U. S.)j Eliz-
abeth married Benjamin Schooly, of Penn., for her first husband. They
had no children. After his death she married the second time, a Mr.
Pierce, of Wisconsin. I think there were children by this marriage. In
the Dudley family there were but three children — boys. All grew to
manhood, were married, and I think had families. Only one now living,
Andrew Dudley. Smith Dudley was a sergeant in an Illinois cavalry reg-
iment during the rebellion, but I do not remember the number of the
regiment. Andrew Dudley is a merchant in one of the large towns of

is copied:
"What shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue!" Only a few
days ago Wilbur F. Day returned to New Haven from a European trip in
good health and good spirits, and took up his weighty business burdens
with renewed vigor and interest. Now, after a sudden and short illness,
he has ceased from his labors, and will be seen of men no more. What
a mystery and what a reminder to those of us who still go to and fro.
Mr. Day was one of New Haven's very best citizens. Thoroughly iden-
tified with her past and present, he so lived and worked as to do her
honor and win honor from her. He made the bank of which he was for
so long the animating and controlling spirit distinguished for soundness
and safety. The acuteness and accuracy of his judgment in financial
matters were firmly established ami widely respected. TTis upright-
ness was a tower of strength to all whose affairs were in his hands. And
his quietly persistent attention to duty gave him constantly increasing
skill and efficiency. But Mr. Day was not alone a business man. He had
a keen and comprehending mind which concerned itself with that which
is best in literature and art, and he paid careful attention to matters of
ATWATER HISTORY. 119
public interest. He could talk well, and had a fine perception and use
of wit and humor. He was a very friendly man, though not in the de-
monstrative way of some. He was benevolent and quietly beneficent.
The dearest spot on earth to him was his home, and he was a most de-
voted husband and father. His whole life was one of consistent integ-
rity, quiet industry, and strict fidelity to duty. His pleasant speech and
pleasing figure will be much missed by all who have been accustomed
to them, and there are many hearts whose mourning for him will be
deep and long.

A I WATER HISTORY. I35
838. James, son of Titus; m. July 17, 1851, Jane L., dau. of Cheney
Taft and Lydia Kennedy, b. Dec. 26, 1827. He d. Dec. 19, 1903.
He was born in Conesville, Schoharie county, N. Y., and obtained his
earliest education in the common schools of his native village and later
attended the Livingston academy. He graduated from the State Nor-
mal school in Albany in 1844 and at once took up teaching as his
profession.
He went to Lockport, N. Y., soon after and was for seventeen years
employed as a teacher in the old Lockport Union school. During a period
of eleven years, during this time he was also the superintendent of pub-
lic schools in that city. He was the teacher of mathematics in the Union
school during his connection with it.
He finally left teaching to engage in the insurance business and for
many years, he was prominent among the business men, building up a
prosperous business in his chosen line. Mr. Atwater was a member of
the board of education for many years after he became interested in
business and was for three years or more the president of the board.
He was prominent in local politics and was one of the staunch support-
ers in his community of Eepublican principles. He was honored with
an election to the board of supervisors in 1872, serving for two years,
and again he was re-elected in 1882 and served until 1894. He was elect-
ed mayor of Lockport in 1894.
Of him I. M. Atwood, a former pupil, writes: "James Atwater was
by nature and grace — which with him were not twain but one — a prince
among pedagogues. He was master of all the subjects he attempted to
teach, master of himself, master of his pupils. He knew boys, he was
not distant from them; every crook and turn in the multifarious nature
of a boy had interest for him, and he was on to the most plausible ur-
chin 's trick before it was quite hatched. Girls were somewhat a mys-
tery to him, as they are to all of us; but his apparently wandering eye
read their minds as well as their faces, and if he did not cut into the
quick with his sly remarks, as he did with us boys, it was because he
was the soul of chivalry.
"Since I sat on those benches, which the board of education of that day
thought were the last achievement of educational art, I have known
many teachers in many states, and have served my own long appren-
ticeship as a teacher. It is not, therefore, without ample means of cor-
recting the visual error of a too near view, that I have adhered to an
opinion formed long ago. That opinion is, that James Atwater should
never have gone out of the school room. He should have been advanced
from degree to degree until he held a large life position as a teacher and
educator. His intuitive insight into mind and character, his wide sym-
pathies, his genial nature, his sound judgment, his capacity for taking
I36 ATWATER HISTORY.
on new views, and above all his aptness to teach, marked him out for
one profession. Jt is, in my view, a distinct loss to the noble science
of education, when a man so endowed and uniquely adjusted to his
place as an educator, is turned aside into some other pursuit. Almost
any other occupation is for such ;i man an inferior calling."

He was born at Cedar Hill, then a part of the town of Hamden, since
incorporated into the city of New Haven, Conn. His father. Major Ly-
man Atwater, was a leading citizen of the town, and is described as " a
man of restless enterprise and of great endurance, who added to the
management of a large farm the conduct of a great variety of under-
takings both at home and in distant places. ' ' His mother was the
daughter of Punderson Hotchkiss, Esq., a respected citizen and manu-
facturer of the town of Hamden.
Dr. Atwater entered Yale College in 1827, and was graduated in 1831,
at the age of eighteen, with the second honor in a class of eighty-one
members, including President Porter, the late Senator Polk, of Missouri,
Bishops Kip of California, and Clark of Rhode Island, and other emi-
nent men. He spent the year following his graduation as head of the
classical department of Mount Hope Institute, Baltimore, and then en-
tered Yale Theological Seminary. At the end of his first year in the
seminary he became tutor of mathematics in Yale College, in which of-
fice he continued for nearly two years, pursuing his studies in theology
at the same time. He was licensed to preach by the Congregational As-
sociation of New Haven West in May, 1834, and in the summer of 1835
accepted a call to the pastorate of the First Congregational church in
Fairfield, Conn., where he remained nearly twenty years.
He began in 1840 to contribute to the Princeton Review, and the men-
tal power shown in his articles, with the stand which he took in Con-
necticut in opposition to the theological views of Dr. Taylor, Dr. Bush-
nell and others, brought him to the notice of Princeton College, which, in
1851, conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity.
In June, 1854, he was elected to the newly-established chair of Mental
and Moral Philosophy, in Princeton College, entering upon his duties in
October. In 1861 he was appointed to the Lecturership Extraordinary in
the Theological Seminary at Princeton on the Connection between Re-
vealed Religion and Metaphysical Science for the five years for which
it was established. In 1863 he was unanimously elected by the General

Assembly of the Presbyterian church (Old School) Professor of Theol-
ogy in the Western Theological Seminary, at Allegheny, Pa., which chair
he declined. The General Assembly (O. S.), in 1869, made him a mem-
ber of the joint committee which perfected the basis of union upon
which the old and new school branches of the Presbyterian church were
united. Prom the year 1S76 until the time of his death he was vice
president of the board of trustees of Princeton Theological Seminary.
He was acting president of Princeton College between the retirement
of Dr. John Maclean and the inauguration of Dr. James McCosh in 1868.
After the year 1869 he was professor and teacher of Logic, Metaphysics^
Ethics, Economics and Political Science. He was a voluminous writer,
especially for the Reviews. In 1869, at the request of Dr. Charles Hodge,
he became the responsible editor of the Princeton Review. In 1872 the
Review was united with the American Presbyterian Review with the title
of Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review, under the joint edi-
torship of Dr. Atwater and the late Dr. Henry B. Smith. Since 1854 his
contributions to it have greatly exceeded those of any other man. Be-
ginning with his well known essay on the "Power of Contrary Choice, "
in the October number of 1840, republished in the first volume of the
Princeton Essays. His contributions to this Review alone had, in 1876,
exceeded one hundred articles and 2,500 pages. They are largely philo-
sophical, theological, ecclesiological, but they also extended to economi-
cal, social, political, literary and miscellaneous subjects evincing what a
writer in the "British Quarterly Review" styles his "prodigious ver-
satility of mind." Many of them were republished in this country and
Europe. Dr. Atwater was so occupied with these and other kinds of
authorship and in periodicals that he found time for little else but the
duties of his professorship, his other publications being only an occasional
discourse and a Manual of Elementary Logic for the Class Room, which
came into large use. His articles on various subjects commanded wide
attention and exercised large influence.
In the year 1871 Yale University conferred on him the degree of LLD.
Dr. Atwater died at Princeton February 17, 1SS3. At the funeral
addresses were made by Dr. Noah Porter, president of Yale College, the
classmate and life-long friend of Dr. Atwater, Dr. McCosh, president of
Princeton University, and by Dr. A. A. Hodge, of Princeton Theological
Seminary. Subsequently the Rev. Dr. William M. Taylor, of New York,
was requested by the faculty to prepare a discourse commemorating the
life and services of Dr. Atwater to be given at the ensuing commence-
ment. This discourse with the addresses above mentioned were pub-
lished in a Memorial Volume by the request of the trustees of Prince-
ton University.
Rev. Amzi Atwater thus describes a visit to Dr. Atwater at Princeton:
"In the year 1880, as our Indiana University summer vacation came

earlier than tliose of eastern colleges, I thought to improve the oppor-
tunity thus presented of visiting Princeton, New Jersey, <>n my way to
Y.i I.- commencement. Arriving in town, 1 was disappointed to find that
the college work had been suddenly closed for the year some days earlier
than usual on account of epidemic fever.
"But I was amply repaid for stopping by a most agreeable visit with
our kinsman, Doctor Lyman II. At water, vice presidenl of the univers-
ity. I may have previously written him of my coming, bul whether I
had or not he received me in a most friendly manner, took me in a car-
riage over the town and through the most Interesting college buildings,
and introduced me to President McCosh, who had been called some time
before that from a high position in Scotland, to the presidency of this
institution.
'•Though somewhat advanced in years and though his hair was gray
and his form stooping, the fire of his eyes was not dimmed and his con-
versation gave evidence of the bright and vigorous intellect for which
he was noted. The management seemed to have made no mistake in
calling him to' this place of honor. Princeton had just previously been
strengthened and the scope of her work greatly enlarged by the gift
of nearly two million of dollars from the estate of John C. Green. Dr.
Atwater pointed out the new buildings just erected by means of the
great legacy.
"These, no doubt, aided Dr. McCosh in making the success which he
attained at Princeton. Our kinsman also took me to call on the mathe-
matician, Professor Charles A. Young, who eagerly inquired about the
astronomer, Professor Daniel Kirkwood, of Indiana University, and
sent a message to him: 'Tell him our new telescope is twenty-three inches
aperture, thirty feet focus.'
"Doctor Atwater was a man of learning, high character and noble
presence, whose worth was universally acknowledged. The ill health of
his later years no doubt slackened his literary activity and may have
prevented somewhat, toward the end, the full enjoyment of life."
Dr. McCash, former president of Princeton University, spoke of Dr.
At water as follows:
"For nearly a third of a century he has been identified with all that
is good in this institution. lie lived and labored for the good of the
college. He has had as much influence as any one man. perhaps more
than any other, in forming the character of its numerous alumni, seal
tered all over the country, and fitting them for usefulness in various
walks of lite.
"We value him as a teacher, but we also revered and loved him as a
man. Every one who knew him will be prepared to testify that lie was
actuated throughout by high principle, moral and religious. This gave a
consistency to his character which made every one respect him. He

labored to keep up a high standard of morality and piety among us.
But he was far from being a man of mere head withoul heart. Under-
neath his sedate demeanor there was a deep well of feeling ever ready to
burst out. He was firm in rebuking the erring, but was ever melted
when he discovered signs of repentence. He was charged with the be-
nevolent funds of this institution and administered the trust with great
faithfulness and kindness. Many student will remember forever the
wise counsels which he gave them.
"His work and mine have been constantly and closely intermingled.
Of all the instructors here I shall feel his removal most keenly. 1 do not
know where we can get a man to take up the profound and varied sub-
jects which he taught. It is clue to the memory of one who upheld phil-
osophy in Princeton College, not to let it down from the high place, which
it has all along occupied here. The fittest tribute which we can pay to
his memory is to secure that the work which he carried on so effectively
will be continued in the ages to follow."
Rev. William M. Taylor, D. D. 7 speaks of Dr. Atwater's work as an
educator as follows:
"Few men have been more successful than he was in training thinkers.
He impressed all his pupils with his perfect mastery of the subjects with
which he had to deal. They admired the clearness of his expositions; the
fairness with which he stated the opinions of those from whom he dif-
fered; the absolute impartiality with which he criticised the views of
others; and the candid spirit in which he advanced his own. He would
not do their thinking for his students; but he furnished them with the
needful data, and then encouraged them to form their own opinions while
he stood by ready to guide them in the effort. They felt, moreover, that
he understood not only his subjects, but his students. He never forgot
that he had once been a young man himself, and he could put himself
back into the place of an undergraduate and look at things from his
point of view, with greater ease ami accuracy than most men of his
age and acquirements."
Rev. John DeWitt, D. D., professor in Princeton Theological Seminary,
thus writes:
"Dr. Atwater's exceptional success as a teacher, now - is to 1
have 1 n due very largely to two things; first, the force or weight of
his personal character which compelled both respectful behavior and sus-
tained attention from tin 1 class; and second, a power of absolute clear-
ness in statement and explication. . . . Besides those, his teaching
was marked by a trait which I take to be a great merit, namely, that
he threw himself most heartily into great subjects."
Professor W. B. Scott, of Princeton, says:
"In all the branches which he taughl he showed himself a master, al-
ways interesting, instructive, and especially .dear. His custom was to

give us an analysis of the lecture written out on the blackboard, and the
value of his teaching largely lay in the perfect system to which he re-
duced everything, so that those who ran might read."

He married his second wife, Grace Clarissa Atwater, a descendant of Da-
vid Atwater, the youngest of the emigrants who came from England in

lived at Hast Haven at Mr. Bishop's home which originally belonged to
the Rev. Nicholas Street, and during Lafayette's visit to this country
lie spent a night at this house. Their first child, Henry White, was born

Bishop the old homestead at Cedar Hill as Mr. Atwater's business inter-
\>-re iii Bennington, Vt., where he removed and remained during
the rest of his life. He was buried there. Mr. Bishop was a business
man in every sense of the word and transformed the Atwater home into a

and mules, shipping large numbers of them to the West "Indies. Every
portion of the large farm was put into use and presented a very busy
place during his life. Five children were Lorn at the Atwater house —

of the land is now known in 1906 as the beautiful East Rock park. In
1870 Mrs. Bishop bought a home on Chapel street, New Haven, and re-
moved there where she remained until her death in October, 1896. Her
sons, Henry and David, have been carrying on the shipping business their
father founded until the present time at Jersey City, N. J. Her young-

and always remained with her mother and is now living in the home
where her mother died. Mrs. Bishop died in her 83d year and her last
days were peaceful and happy. She could enjoy everything and was con-
fined to her bed but a few weeks. She was a beautiful type of an ideal
New England wife and mother.

Spafford. Two children were born to them, a sen, Prank H., who died
recently and a daughter who died in girlhood.
"Mrs. Miner was a member of the Congregational church and took
much interest in church and .Sunday school and was a successful teacher
-of a large Bible class in the Sunday school for some years. She was a
woman of much intelligence and many attractive traits of character and
had many friends who were much grieved and shocked by the unex-
pected news of her death which was doubtless indirectly caused by the
severe afflictions which had so rapidly followed each other within a brief
month. "

After graduating he taught for a year in a family in Oldham County, Ky.
In 1837 he entered the Theological department of Yale College, and in
1841 was ordained pastor of the Congregational church in Ravenna, Ohio.
In 1849 he resigned that pastorate and, after spending a year in foreign
travel, was installed in 1852 pastor of the Congregational church in Sal-
mon Falls (Eollinsford), New Hampshire. In November, 1857, he re-
moved to his native city and spent several years in missionary work,
gathering a congregation in the eastern part of the city. In 1863, a
church having been organized in this congregation, he was installed its
pastor, and so remained to the end of his active ministry, in 1870.
He has written a volume on "The Sacred Tabernacle of the Hebrews"
(pub. 1875), and another entitled "The History of the Colony of New
Haven to Its Absorption into Connecticut" (pub. 1880). He edited a
"History of the City of New Haven," published in 1887 by W. W. Muu-
sell & Co., and contributed many valuable articles. On account of his
painstaking research and accurate knowledge he was considered an au-
thority on matters pertaining to the early history of the Colonies of
New England. He published a geneology of the Atwater family in 1851;
revised it in 1873, and was engaged in this work, revising and correcting,
up to the time of his death.

He d. Sept. 13, 1836. Moses was a farmer and resided in Hillsboro, N.
C. He was a man of clear head, .cool judgment and industrious habits.
He began his married life with very little save his trade — that of sad-
dler. He died when about 56 years of age, leaving a number of slaves
and several hundred acres of land for each of his children. This fact
shows him to have been a good business man. His children always spoke
of him as being strictly honest in his dealings with others and as a man
who was quick to see a good investment and as one who kept himself in
readiness for such whenever presented. It was the custom in his day for
almost every one whose circumstances would allow it to own a distillery.
He owned one and taught each of his sons to operate it. While he drank
to excess sometimes, and at such times was violent and rough, through
the influence of their mother, not one of the children drank to excess —
instead, were leaders of the temperance movement while they lived.
Moses was a born leader — indeed, he commanded where he had author-
ity, but he was strictly just to command obedience, as he was to pun-
ish disobedience. He was devoted to the welfare of his home and fam-
ily and when not maddened by drink was kind ami affectionate. His
wife was a model woman, sweet spirited, kind, gentle, Loving and lov-
able. She suffered without murmur and was ever ready to forgive and
forget. Her influence still lives in her descendants and will continue.
Moses Atwater died in his 56th year, honored and respected for his ster-
ling character and forgiven of his faults. His will reads as follows:
"I, Moses Atwater, of the county of Orange and Btate of North
Carolina, do make this to be my last will and testament in manner ami
form following. I lend to my wife Amy three negro boys, named Joe,
.Tack and Aaron; likewise two negro women, Milly and Ann, and Ann's
two children, John and Stephen; likewise the land and plantation where

chased from John Farrington, and Farrington's old mill path leading
to the cotton gin house on the south side of the creek.
"I give to my daughter Lois Strand during the term of her natural
life a negro girl named Joice with her increase which said negro girl said
Lois has now in her possession, and at the death of my daughter I give
and bequeath the said negro girl with her increase to anj^ and all the
children of my daughter Lois, share and share alike.
"I lend to my daughter, Celia Strand, the negro girl Mary which is
now in her possession with her increase during the term of her natural
life and at her death my will is the said negro girl with her increase
shall descend to any and all the children of my said daughter Celia,
share and share alike.
"I give unto my son Jehiel the balance of my mill tract of land pur-
chased from Farrington not before given to my son Jahaza and likewise
the balance of my land in Chatham not already given away lying on the
south side of the land T now live on.
"I leave all my negroes not heretofore mentioned to be equally di-
vided between my sons Wilson and Jahaza and my two daughters, Celia
Strand and Luis Strand.
"All the remainder of my estate not heretofore mentioned of what-
ever kind or quality it may consist I leave to be sold and the proceeds
of such sale together with the cash I may leave and the surplus of the

The death of his father when he was eleven years old, led him to seek
employment, and after a year or two of private schooling in North Guil-
ford and Branford, he became a clerk in Mr. Murdock 's dry goods store
in New Haven, Conn. An opportunity was offered him to become a clerk
for Baldwin, Kent & Co., a wholesale dry goods house in Richmond, Va.,
and he accepted, going by way of a schooner from New York. In a few
years he returned to New York as a resident partner, doing the buying
and other responsible duties. He was a conservative and yet a progressive
man with large business interests, unostentatious and untiring in his pro-
motion of great enterprises, but commercial and religious. Removing to
Springfield, Mass., he was the originator of the Glasgow Mills, at South
I lad ley Falls, for the manufacture of ginghams; also the Springfield
street railroad which he founded and supported during the trying years
of its beginning and was also closely identified with the Memorial church
of that city, in fact, he and Dr. J. G. Holland may be said to be its found-
ers. His friendships were strong and tender and he was broad in his re
ligious views and much given to hospitality and especially fond of en-
tertaining clergymen.

ling worth was felt and acknowledged by all. Men may boast of mighty
achievements, of great deeds done in the name of the Lord for suffering
humanity, but the unostentatious and oft times unseen works of love
from the hand of Christian mothers eclipse them all, and will follow
them to constitute bright gems in their crowns of glory."

He continued to hold that position until failing health compelled hin> to
abstain from labor.

R. Spalding. The traditions of journalism remained in Mr. Spalding 's
family after his death, Mrs. Spalding ever showing a public spirited in-
terest in affairs of general moment. She was always a friend of literary
culture, of the spread of intelligence and of the elevation of the stand-

is a clipping from a newspaper: In the death of Mrs. Bostwick
New Haven loses a woman of sterling character, of delightful per-
sonality and an edifying Christian. For forty-two years this fam-
ily had resided at the old homestead on Olive street. Mrs. Bost-
wick was born in this city in 1824, and was the second daughter
of George Bowland and Ruth Caroline Atwater, dau. of Capt. El-
nathan Atwater, the latter a prominent shipmaster of his day, who
was extensively engaged in the West India trade. Mrs. Bostwick
had been thoroughly educated and was a graduate of Miss Corn-
stock's well known academy, where she especially excelled in math-
ematics. A former member of St. Paul's church for the past forty
years, Mrs. Bostwick had been a devout and edifying member of
St. John 's church. In 1851 Miss Rowland was married to Fred-
erick L. Bostwick, and is survived by two sons, Frederick and
Thomas A., and widowed daughter, Mrs. Caroline R. Jones. Mrs.
Maltby, her other daughter, died three years ago. Her brothers,
Thomas Fitch Rowland of New York, and Frederick C. Rowland,
and her sisters, Mrs. Ruth A. Tibbals, Miss Sarah M. Bowland and
Miss Jennie Rowland, and also five grandchildren, will receive the
sympathy of all who knew this venerable lady. The impressive
funeral service at St. John's church was followed by that of Mrs.
Rowland, a sister-in-law of Mrs. Bostwick. who died about eight-
een hours after the death of Mrs. Bostwick.

Westfield, April 14, 1906.— "How hath the mighty fallen!" The hal-
lowed room in the old Atwater tavern, also known as the "Washing-
ton tavern," in which the immortal Father of His Country twice passed
the night when marching through Westfield, is now used by an Hungarian
family as a resting place for everything and anything that has passed
usefulness.
Built about 200 years ago, this famous old tavern stands as firmly upon
its foundations to-day as it did after it was first built. It is a large
building, directly at the foot of the eight mile road over the South-quarter
Russell hills to Blandford, and but a stone's throw from the Westfield-
Russell line. The road to West Parish and the road to Russell are near
it, and in the olden days when the stage coaches rumbled regularly over
the hills the old tavern did a good business.
For many years this historic old tavern remained in the possession of
the Atwater family. About thirty years ago the last of the family, the
"Franklin Atwaters, " moved from it, and all of the antique furnishings
were sold or removed. The mail box at the door now bears this "new
Ameican" name: "Mathius Pitonak." The ancient spinning wheels are
gone, the high-backed chairs have found their way into the homes of lov-
ers of the antique, and the old chests and tableware have also found
resting places in the homes of wealthy Westfield people.
Washington slept in the Atwater tavern when he was passing through
this part of the country on his way to Canada, to join the army fighting
the French. Homer Noble, one of the best informed men of the section,
says that his grandmother, Hannah Noble, who died some thirty years
ago, used to tell how she was sitting at the window in the second story,
I« v -' ATWATER HISTORY.
overlooking the road, when she saw the army .dining up what is now
known as Western avenue. 8he was spinning at the time, she used to
say, and she recount.',! vividly how she assisted the tavernkeeper in
making comfortable the stay of Washington and his staff. Washington
also slept in the tavern on his return from the Canadian expedition.
The loom in which the Father of His Country slept has been known
for years as the "Washington bedroom." It is a large room on the sec-
ond floor, and the windows face the northeast. The remainder of the
second II : was given up to a large dance hall, finely furnished. Then
there is what was known as the "big west room." In revolutionary
days these rooms were the scenes of many jollifications.
Sev. rnl years must have been passed before this tavern was completed.
The lumber used in its construction, every stick of it, was cut and hewed
from trees that stood on the hillsides within a few feet of the founda-
tion. The cellar walls are made from stones picked from the fields. The
beams are extra large in size, made from whole oak logs, and they are as
solid to-day as they were when they were put in position.
The house was clapboarded and shingled. The clapboards were split
from logs, one at a time, and then shaved down by hand. The work must
have been very tiresome and difficult. The shingles were split from
blocks of pine wood. The big beams were fastened with heavy wooden
"nails," such as are used to-day in shipbuilding. The clapboards were
held in place by iron nails pounded out of soft iron by hand. The heads
of some of the nails are half an inch in diameter.
Some years ago the wind blew the clapboards from the front of the
house, and the Hungarian who now occupies it put modern clapboards
upon it. The roof has been covered over with a kind of tar and sand
paper, and the old shingles are not visible. The sheds used in the old
days by travelers are still standing, but are in dilapidated condition, and
are used mostly as chicken coops.
The tavern is not on the beaten path of travel. Not many wagons go
over the mountain to Blandford now, although the view along the road
i- superb. The Little river, which before long will furnish Springfield
with its water supply, flow's between Glasgow mountain and a hill to
the northward, in a valley several hundred feet below the roadway. Hills
lower on all sides, and brooks tumble in a picturesque manner down the
rocky slo]ies along the roadside.
The degeneration of the old Washington tavern is but another indi-
cation of the disregard that the public is showing for relics of by-gone
days. Before long the fireplaces where Washington warmed his feet will
have passed out of existence, and the old tavern itself will have no sem-
blance to the place it was in "ye olden days."

storm this lonely couple persuaded the young man and his wife to re-
main with them until spring. During their sojourn there a son was
born, and in gratitude the little stranger was named after their host,
John Todd.

remained; m. Martha E. Benson May 30, 1866. Of his life he
writes. I arrived on the land that has since been my home, July
2, 1862. It was a fine windfall, where the best pine only had been
cut; sometimes taking but one or two logs from a large tree, and
leaving the rest to waste on the ground. We cut down the pop-
lar brush, from two to thirty feet high, and burned it, and then
logged up the large timber and burnt what we could of that, leav-
ing ninety log heaps unburned on eighteen acres, ploughed, sowed
it to wheat, and the next year got but sixty bushels of wheat
from it. My father worked with me two months, when he went
back to Trumansburg, leaving me to finish and follow him in ihe
the fall. My father employed a man named Smith Denson to help
us a few weeks. He is now the pioneer R. F. D. man in Saginaw.
His sister, Martha Benson, I married in 1866, and she has been my
helpmeet in all these years in bringing that farm from its chaos
of wilderness up to its present condition of comfort and fertility.
One hundred acres of land are under cultivation, with eighty acres
of scattered woodland, used as a pasture, fenced with about; three
miles of pine stump fence; with the four thousand pine stumps
that I, and later, my sons, have extracted from its surface. There
is a cottage on the northeas corner of the farm that T have occu-
pied with my wife since 1894, when I gave active charge to my
two youngest sons, and tended garden and did what jobs of sur-
veying that came along. I learned surveying in Trumansburg
Academy, under the tutelage of Prof. E. M. Maynard, in com-
pany with T. H. King and Seymour Bates, both of whom T visiter?

Here is a little history written by him two years previous to his
death, being then eighty-three years of age and able to read without
glasses, a man who was well preserved, his memory being good as the
following article will show, able to walk one, two or three miles a day,
straight and erect in his walk; fond of society and a good talker and a
great reader: Samuel T. Atwater was thrown on his own resource at
the age of nine years, his mother having died and left four children
(boys) younger than he. The father put all of the children out, as was
practiced in those days. I have often heard my father tell of the suf-
ferings from cold and hunger — children were not cared for and petted
in those days.
About the year 1835 the writer came to Genoa, Cayuga Co., N. Y.,
then a quiet little hamlet with a few straggling houses and a woolen
mill owned by John King. The mill was below where is now Howe's
grist mill and the Bemington foundry was just below that. I had worked
seven years to learn the trade of carding, condensing and dyeing flan-
nels, and was the first to introduce the scarlet dyeing in that vicinity.
I remained there two years and did some fine work for the people in
the surrounding country. This summer — 1896 — a gentleman while in
Sempronious, saw a piece of very heavy flannel, scarlet in color, as
bright and beautiful as when finished. It was serving as a chair cushion
in the home of Mr. Slade. It was dyed at the old woolen mill. Genoa,
ami by myself some sixty years ago. It had been use,] in those days us
a long cloak, now would be called an opera cloak.
A few years previous to my coming to Genoa, Abraham Stevens, now.
living in Auburn, worked in the Bemington foundry and made a Teazle
machine for Dapping cloth which I used. Mr. Stevens came to Genoa
with a saw, hammer and jack plane, built a foundry, got up several
patents, which brought him a nice little sum of money, was very suc-
d in business, running the foundry, until he moved to Auburn
ATWATER HISTORY.
*ed in manufacturing . , etc. He was considered one of the
best mechanics of Cayuga county.
The Bayham murder was a very exciting tragedy of those years and
was written up for all papers. The Veness murder was another shock-
ing affair that was exhibited through the - canvas by Harvey
Piersons, George Martin and Phineas Young of Genoa.
In the 'lays of "Auld Lang Syne," singing schools, skimmeltons, husk-
ing bees and apple paring parties were the only pleasures and recreations
we had. In the little schoolhouse on Grove street, two miles from Eas!
Genoa, 1 taught the first singing school. That was about the year 1st".
bul few of my scholars arc dow living who came to that little old school
But the building was usually crowded ami the very walls rang
with the songs of Coronation. Uxbridge and From Greenland's Icy Moun-
tains. J first took up music at Trumansburg, X. Y. 1 attended singing
school taught by Wadsworth, later the greal compiler of music. Little
did we then think of the work he would do, or that his compositions
would lie handed down for many generations.
In ls2s the old Presbyterian church at Northville (now called King's
Perry) was not as fine an edifice as the one of to-day. Every Sabbath,
rain or shine, cold or hot. have 1 sat in the old "straight bach pews'' and
listen.', | to Rev. Set li Smith, pastor of the church for forty years, lie
devoted his whole thought and energies and life to the good of his
pie. The Presbyerian church at Genoa was not in the village, but one
mile east, where the cemetery is now 1 have listened I
- by Lyman T. Beecher, father of Henry Ward. Thomas K. Beecher
and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
A very interesting occasion for those days was a debate between
Holmes and Austin, held in the Universalis! church of Genoa. 1!
was a Methodist and a presiding elder; Austin a I'niversalist. The
hoard were Elder White of Lansingville, Garry Chambers of McLean,
Stephen Woodin of Genoa. This debate lasted eight days; each Bidfl
spoke four times daily, the subject being * ' Universalism vs. Metho-
dism." At the (dose there was no decision. A book was published of
the debate aiol no doubt many copies are now in existence. The old
church was packed, the writer being present all through.
Las! week we heard a person remark that Roswell Beardsley (now
tla' oldes! post master living) was the only one living who gave funds
for the building of the old I'niversalist church. Mr. Beardsley says he
cannot remember the year it was built but gave $50.
I will close lest I weary your patience, and am getting tired myself.

ATWATKR HISTORY. 211
"Fifty years ago to-day Charles Law was united in marriage to Ellen
Atwater, who was a daughter of Charles Atwater, a merchant at Prov-
idence, now Scranton. Mr. Law was at that time in business in this
city. He brought his bride here, and this has ever since been their
home. The married life of Mr. and Mrs. Law has been a most happy
one, and it was with much propriety that they invited their friends to
join with them yesterday in a celebration of their golden wedding. The
celebration was held at the family home, on Luzerne avenue, and was a
most happy event. The various rooms of the residence were exquisitely
decorated with growing plants and cut flowers. Florist Harris fairly
outdid himself in the floral display which received praise from all who
witnessed it. Besides great banks of palms and other greenery, there
was a profusion of cut flowers — erysanthemums, roses and orchids — the
whole forming a most beautiful picture. During the afternoon and
evening some 200 friends called to extend their compliments to Mr.
and Mrs. Law, who were assisted in receiving by their sons and daugh-
ters as follows: A. F. Law, of Scranton, treasurer of the Temple Iron
Co.; John H. Law, of Scranton, with the Title Guarantee & Trust Co.;
Charles P. Law, of West Pittston, manager of the Pittsburg branch of
the Atlantic Kenning Co.; Robert M. Law, of Philadelphia, treasurer of
the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke Co.; Mrs. Thomas H. Watkins, of Scran-
ton; Mrs. George W. Cross, of Carbondale; Mrs. Herman A. Warner,
of Deeorah, Iowa. Two of the children, James C. Law, treasurer Chi-
cago Tunnel Co., and Miss Anna Law, of Las Vegas, N. M., were unable
to be present, but the parents were much gratified to receive congratu-
lations from them, the former giving his message over the 'phone and
the latter sending a telegram. Among those present were the following
three persons who were present at the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Law
fifty years ago: Mrs. Solon Woodward, of Carbondale; Mrs. Floyd, of
Nanticoke, and Mrs. Mary Hicks, of Green Ridge. Many other friends,
including those of olden times were present, and the host and hostess
were especially pleased at the presence of their old-time friends, Alex
Craig and C. I. A. Chapman. As tokens of their esteem, the guests sent
many beautiful gifts that will long be cherished by Mr. and Mrs. Law.
Among them were sums of money in gold, choice pieces of cut glass and
china-ware, some exquisite needlework and costly silver pieces. These
tokens of regard, displayed in one of the rooms, were the object of much
admiration."

ATWATER HISTORY. 221
"In writing an obituary of this remarkable man I find myself em-
barrassed by a fear thai I may seem extravagant to strangers. Those not
acquainted with such a character may find it hard to believe that mor-
tal man in these latter days can reach such a state of Christian per-
fection as distinguished this eminent servant of God. On the other
hand I may find it equally difficult to employ such words as will faith-
fully portray his matchless worth in the estimation of those who knew
him well. Loyalty to Christ and truth demands for him an illustrious
place on the roll of saints and happy shall I be if I shall trace in living
lines the virtues that in him shone. Of his parentage I need not speak
except to say that his mother was a godly woman, which may in some
measure account for his sound conversion and excellent piety. When a
youth, he was deeply interested upon the subject of religion, and hun-
gered and thirsted after righteousness. After much trouble and sor-
row, and praying and seeking, he was powerfully and happily converted
in earl}' manhood, and forthwith sought fellow with the people of God
in the M. E. church South, in which he lived and died, such a burning
and shining light as this world has rarely seen. For several years his
experience was not more marked probably than that of his brethren
about him. He was sometimes in great ecstasy and then again in heav-
iness through temptations and fears. With this sort of experience he
heard a lucid sermon on perfect love which he at once began to seek and
found. From that glad hour to the day of his death, his peace flowed
as a river, and his righteousness abounded as the waves of the sea.
Doubts and fears and clouds were gone never to return. He read his
titles clear, and walked with God the rest of his days. His life was a
daily illustration of the power of the gospel to save to the uttermost.
Having known him well for more than twenty years, I have no hesi-
tancy in saying that I do not believe that a better man ever lived in this
evil world. I do not believe it possible for a man to be better on the
earth than he was and this is the verdict, so far as I know, of every-
body that ever knew him. No wonder he was a powerful preacher. Holy
in heart and life, and full of faith and the Holy Ghost, his ministry was
a benediction every where, and he added much people to the Lord. All
classes of people heard him gladly and profitably and the savor of his
name is as ointment poured forth in all the region blessed by his life
and ministry. He honored and adored every relation he sustained and
every station he occupied. If ever there was a spotless character in this
world, it was Wilson Atwater. Taking him, all in all, I never expect to
see his like again. Having walked with God for more than three score
years he went down to death without fear. He was not sick like other
people. Through age and feebleness, he was confined to home and house
and till the weary wheels of life stood still and his triumphant spirit

Respess. He lives at Thomaston, Ga. The writer called upon him while
on a trip south in March, 1906, ami was hospitably received. The old
gentleman told of his life before and during the Civil War, and how, as
captain of a Georgia Confederate Company, during an engage a enl one
day, found three boys of about sixteen years and himself the whole line
of battle, the remainder of his company being dead or injured while
the regiment had retreated without notice. Of these four, two were
killed while tryiing to escape crossing a field and Mr- Atwater and his
boy companion only escaped by dropping in their tracks as if dead. Dur-
ing the last of the war it was necessary to recruit these boys in order
to fill up the quota needed. The raid of General Wilson's army through
Georgia sw T ept away all of Mr. Atwater 's farm stock, so that when lie
returned to his home it was a scene of desolation and despair. The men
slaves had left for parts unknown but the negro women and children re-
mained. The women offered to produce cotton and vegetables if given
mules and plows to work with. Mr. Atwater started out to see what
he could do, and finding he was privileged to take any loose stock he
could find, he stayed around the Federal camp until he had seemed a
drove of mules, even having more than before the raiders drove his own
off. Under discouraging circumstances his great energy predominated,
and the writer found him at the age of nearly eighty situated in a large,
beautiful country home, surrounded with luxury and comfort, and a de-
voted family, completing the fireside picture of domestic happiness and
contentment.

which was as painful for me to comprehend as my liberal ideas were
for 1 1 i in to tolerate. He had worn out in shouting his religion which
must have brought more fear than comfort. That was the kind I found
in my childhood, and I had hoped that it had long since died out. To
live a Christian life it is not necessary to lie so severe and earnest as to
shut out. all pleasure or intrude its harshness upon those who believe it
is unnecessary- Mr. Atwater, no doubt, is a truly good man, but there
are those of us going through life who do good, live correctly, but do
not do it from having a creed bred of fear with damnation always in
sight. How much hotter it is to lie cheerful and hearty, than to carry
sanctimony to the verge of distress.

Mr. Atwater belonged to one of the oldest and most highly respected
families of New Haven, to ;i family long to lie remembered both for
intellectual power and poise ami for spiritual greatness manifested in
countless deeds of kindness ami loving service. As the great-grandson
of Elihu Sanford, he enjoyed all the sweet and inspiring influence of a
2(5(3 ATWATER HISTORY,
cultured and Christian home. When a boy, be was greatyl interested in
;ill t imt pertained i.» the early history of New England, and especially
to the military achievements of the revolutionary heroes. His enthu-
siasm in this direction increased with liis increasing years. Improving
every opportunity for gaining knowledge of the colonial affairs, both by
personal research at the library of Sale university and of the Eistorical
society of which he was a life member.
To explore an old house, dating back to the Old Colony times, aroused
his delight, and he was constantly alert to acquire information of a local
character, which had been preserved either by family tradition or in old
and unpublished documents.
Spending all his life in New Haven he naturally began his observa-
tions in this vicinity, so rich in memories and reminders of the past.
Among the first of the numerous articles which he published in the
Courier was that entitled "A House With a History." This describes
the old Morris house in East Haven. Shortly after there appealed from
his pen an interesting sketch of the Saltonstall family, and a detailed
description of Governor Saltonstall 's house. This was written from
notes which he made when at the house and shows with what searching
and careful attention he conducted his inquiries.
An idea of his wide interest in historical matters may be obtained not
only by a perusal of his published articles, but also from the fact that he
had personally studied the relicts, famous localities and documents at
Salem, Plymouth and Boston, ami also at Philadelphia. Pilgrim hall at
Plymouth, the old State House at Boston, Independence Hall in Phila-
delphia, all were familiar to him. and were themes on which he could
converse in a most charming way. As time passed on his horizon
broadened, and he extended his researches into English and breach his-
tory. In the latter, beginning with that portion which related to the
Revolutionary war, he continued his study to contemporary affairs. In
this connection he first published an article called "The French Army's
Services" and also one on "New Baven's Famous Guests."
While a passion for history caused him to make this study his chief
employment, he did not comfine his attention to it excusively. He was a
member id' the Young Men's Institute and the Young Men's Christian
Association as well as a life member of the Historical Society, and id'
the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the American devolution- He
had an intelligent appreciation of nature and art. He loved to behold
ami describe a Charming bit of scenery and was as enthusiastic over it as
over a picturesque old church or a colonial mansion. This power is seen
both in his account of Nova Scotia's Queen City and in the article en-
title,] "A New Havener in Canada-" By a few words, he suggests to
the mind a picture of the Palls -of Montmorency, the Capes of Trinity
and Eternity, the Quiachonan Palls, ami the A usable chasm. During
ATWATER HISTORY
26l
the recent war with Spain he followed with especial attention the op-
erations of the navy and when al Ealifax he observed closely the docks
and fortifications of thai eity and relates many details concerning their
capacity and structure and also the fact that the United States battle-
ship [ndiana was repaired there.
Mi-. At waii 1 devoted much of Ids time during the last year of his life
to the study of the French Language. He was rapidly acquiring an
ability to read and speak it, and he intended to visit Paris, there to con-
tinue his researches in French history.
The public lectures delivered at Vale were attended with great pleas-
ure by him. Those of .Professor Wheeler ou "Napoleon and Waterloo"
and those of Professor Burns were often mentioned with great praise
and admiration. At the time of his death Mr. Atwater had just fin-
ished an article on "The Connecticut Society of Sons of the American
Revolution."
Mr. Atwater was not only characterized by his remarkable energy in
historical study, but he showed in his life those qualities which make a
true man and a faithful friend. Love of truth, devotion to duty, a
courage undaunted by obstacles which render many despondent, and a
firm trust in God. all were his. By his cheerfulness and hope, by his
labor and his patience, his earthly life will continually be an inspiration
to those who have loved him long since and lost awhile, again to be-
hold him where there is no more pain, neither sighing, but joy and
peace that passeth understanding. — New Haven Journal and Courier.

U >'> VI WATER II [STORY
DOUBT AS TO ANCESTRY
The author is in some doubl as to whether he is correct in giving "No.
284, Abigail," as the wife of Jedediah Hull. In compiling the first vol-
ume he was informed that "No. 284" had married June '■'>. 177s. Thomas
Walker. It was so printed, and was again printed the same on Page 49
of this I k.
A careful study of the records of Wallingford and Cheshire make it
now seem that this Abigail married Jedediah Hull, who died in the fall
of 1784, when his will was probated, leaving an "drily child'' named Lois
Elizabeth, a Lois being sister of the mother and a family name. Then.
too, Samuel Hull, father of Jedediah, deeded several acres of land and
a dwelling house to his son, the land being Located on Honey Po1 brook,
I he only consideration being "love and affection." This was in the
spring of 1780. Abigail's home was in the vicinity of Honey Hot brook.
The Atwaters and Hulls had lived there neighbors for years, and what
should be more natural than that Jedediah and Abigail should have
commenced housekeeping near the paternal roofs of both families. The
only record of Thomas Walker is that he married an Abigail At water
June :'>. 177s, which is found in the book of marriages now in the hands
of E. If. Brown of Cheshire. Then, loo. as we have not the date of
Abigail's age in the family pedigree we may readily assume she was
Abraham's daughter from the fact that her brother, Samuel, was born
in 17o7 and she. according to the tombstone record, was born in 1758,
a year later, the last of the family, and in no wise interfering with the
dates of the lurths of the other children. Days have been spent verify-

268 ATWATER HISTORY.
NEW HAVEN'S GREATEST CANE CUTTER
[New Haven (Conn.) Register, Nov. 14, 1906.]
In the passing of old ''Dave" Atwater New Haven loses a quaint and
odd character who, by his eccentric foibles made himself well known
aboul town.
Old Dave hadn't been a year in the poor house when he died. He
wciii there last March in the seventy-second year of his age and he failed
rapidly as the weeks went on. Dave loved his freedom. Ife loved the
open air and the privilege of roaming aboul as he pleased.
And Dave loved his canes, too. Of course he couldn'1 have them
with him in the poor house and it was indeed a blow to him when he
was deprived of those canes. 47,000 of them. Dave said he had. Per-
haps he did and perhaps he didn't, but he had so many that it was
a big undertaking to count them. They were Dave's pets. Carving
canes was his life-time hobby. He stored them away in his attic, his
•' museum " he called it, one by one as fast as he cut them and let them
lii' there. Dave would never sell a cane. He would have made money
if he did. He just carved them because it was his hobby, that's all.
He carried a different one each day and occasionally gave one away to
a friend, but he never sold one.
Some of them were unique, too. Dave used to go out on a roam about
t lie Woodbridge hills several times a week with a little old hatchet
stuck in his belt to cut cane material.
Hickory saplings he liked best, and he would cut them up by the roots
until he had gathered all he could carry. Then he would trudge home
with them. The roots of the boughs served as the head of the cane. Dave
would carve root and all with strange designs and then pile it away
with the others in his "museum." If he ever had a visitor he always
insisted upon showing him the canes in the "museum."
Whenever Dave moved from one house to another he had his troubles
moving his "47,000" canes. He wouldn't leave the house until he saw
every cane aboard and off for the new home. A few years ago when the
old man moved from Greenwich avenue to Nash street, the truckmen
found an attic room just heaped to the ceiling with canes. Every one
of them had to be moved, said Dave, and so they were, in two truck
loads.
Then last March when Fate sent Dave to the poor house, he put up a
hard fight against being taken away from his canes and his museum.
ATWATER HISTORY. 269
Since his confinemenl the eanes have been scattered about and destroyed.
Atwater was eccentric in many other ways. He had quite a history.
His old home was in the Atwater homestead which for years was a land-
mark standing on the site of the Hutchinson, corner of College and
Crown streets. When Dave's folks died some years ago he was left the
old home and quite an estate.
On account of his eccentricities he was declared an unlit person to have
care of the property and a conservator was appointed. He was well
taken rare of while the estate money lasted. When the old homestead
was sold a place was bought for him somewhere else. When the .'state
began to dwindle he was move,! to Greenwich avenue. Then he was
moved to Nash street where he lived with his wife, his canes and two
pet dogs until all the proceeds of the estate had been used up and he
was left destitute last winter.
When it was thought best to send him to the almshouse last March
Dave put up a great kick. He was ejected from his house. When the
trucking men came to put him out he bolted the doors and "'sicked''
his dogs on them. Then a sheriff was sent out, but Dave threatened
to do him tip and it was Qecessary to send the police up. Dave and his
wife with all their belongings were put out in the street in tin- rain-
storm. Dave was then taken in charge by the city and sent to Spring-
side. His wife went to some friends.
Dave was once on the police force as a supernumerary. Some say lie
used to use one of his canes as a club. He was in the army for a short
time. too. He was sent to an insane asylum years ago, but didn't stay
long. Dave used to say that he had been a guard in a prison and lie
often showed a cane which he claimed was given him by a prisoner —
an odd shaped black stick engraved with curious figures and inscriptions.
Captain Brewer of the Grand avenue station, who has known Dave
for the past forty years, says that another hobby of the old man was to
collect relics and curiosities. "A piece of bark from an old (dm. a piece
of wood from an old house, an old coin, an old piece of china or anything
that happened to strike him as interesting would be put away in his
'museum.' " says the captain.

CRITICISMS OF FIRST VOLUME
[Hartford Times.]
Atwater History and Genealogy. Compiled by Francis Atwater, Jour-
nal Publishing Company, Meriden.
This record is based on tli«' genealogical tables prepared by the Rev.
E. E. Atwater and the English record prepared with much '-arc and la-
bor by Robert II. Atwater, the record made up by the latter forming
Pari I. in the book. The second and larger pari is that for which Mr.
Francis Atwater is directly responsible, although he acknowledges im-
portant contributions from many sources. One of his eliief objects has
been to obtain records of family history and persona] traits in addition
to the mere record of births and deaths and relationships, and in doing
this he has shown assiduity and a disposition to preserve whatever seems
interesting even if it docs not always make for the dignity of the family
name. Many of the stories are amusing and some have value aside from
any merely family interest.
It is evident that a wide field of inquiry has been covered ami that
much labor lias Ik en expended on the work, ami it is partly because of
this, and a si^n of the search for accuracy and certainty, that the com-
piler speaks so freely and earnestly of what remains to be done. At
the very beginning of his preface he says: "It (the history) is before
yon. It would be a pleasure to state that it is complete, but it is not,
and the publisher is too painfully aware of its imperfections and short-
comings.'' And in tlie book is a loose printed slip in which the pub-
lisher asks the help of all readers towards filling gaps or correcting anv
statement. This says thai notice of "wrong dates, misspelled names.
improper classification, and any information to make the work more cor-
rect" is desired, also additional historical or genealogical data.
This is the true spirit for such an undertaking, and it affords the
strongest presumptive evidence of the care tha thas been employed. The
book makes a neat volume of about 500 pages, and is a valuable con-
tribution to the family records of the count rv.
[Hartford Courant.]
We have received from Francis Atwater, president of The Journal
Publishing company, of Meriden, a copy of the "Atwater History and
\I\Y.\TKK HISTORY. 2J I
Genealogy." This elaboratte and interesting I k, compiled by Fran-
cis At water, as the aiodesl statement of the title page runs, consists of
nearly 500 pages. It is a family history, but aol of the purely statis-
tical kind. It goes just as far as possible into the lives and perform-
ances of the men and w a concerned, and thus reinvests them with a
bit of their original life. Family history, written in this large and vivid
fashion, has more or less of a value for every reader.
The Atwateis have a history that is worth preserving. The earliest
mention of the name occurs in the parish of st •. .(unity of Kent, Eng-
land. The date is L257. That was just after Magna I harta had been
obtained from King John, and a while before the publiction of Wyck-
lilV's Bible. The discovery of America was at that date nearly 250 years
in the future. The Atwateis first appeared in this country in 1637.
Joshua, David and Anne Atwater arrived here in that year, and were
among the founders of the New Haven colony. They were from Len-
ham, in Kent county. Kentishmen have always maintained a reputa-
tion for g I sense and courage. They are known in history and poetry
as men of excellent stuff. Mr. Atwater says of the county itself: "It
is claimed that of all the counties of England it was first inhabited,
first civilized, first Christianized, and never conquered." Among this
sensible, sturdy, and self-reliant people the Atwateis of those early days
were persons of consideration. They were equally so after their mi-
gration to this country. All along in their history they have been of
the Magna (harta Bible stock. Cool-headed, intelligent, enterprising,
with a tolerably good degree of confidence in their own opinions, they
were bound to emerge, in the case of individual representatives, from
the general level. We know that this is a rather personal manner of
dealing with the matter but a family history; made up on the biographi-
cal lines of the ''Atwater History" invites to this form of consideration.
Those old traits have been reproduced again and again, clown to our
own day. This volume is dedicated to the memory of a youthful Atwa-
ter. who was drowned August 2.'!, 1900, at the age of twenty years and
three months. He was the son of the author of this volume: and his
father says of him that he was " not only an Atwater in name, but by
character, habit, build, and in general make-up." Tall., well propor-
tioned, with high cheek bones, kindly eyes, and the tenderness of a
manly nature, "he never lied, nor was he given to deceit of any kind."
Family pride of this fine quality, valuing what a man is just as much
as what a man does, is a very good thing to possess and to perpetuate.
Francis Atwater must have given many, many hours of hard work to
the preparation of this volume. But this labor has not been per-
formed wholly for himself and his own generation. This interesting
record will also serve as a code of conduct and a standard of perform-
ance for this American family for many years to come.

[nteresl in genealogical research is very apt to grow into a hobby if
the person Interested has ti to follow it up. Even the person who
lias not time for exhaustive research often enjoys picking up some book
detailing the history of a family comparatively unknown to him, trac-
ing the various branches and here and there lighting unexpectedly on
some familiar name of whose connection with his particular familly he
was previously unaware. And if the volume contains the records
some family with whom the reader is more or less familiar it is doubly
enjoyable
The "At water History and Genealogy" compiled by Francis At wa-
ter of Tlie Meviden .journal and the Waterbury Republican is a well
printed and bound volume of nearly 500 pages containing a vast amount
of useful and interesting information The title page bears in its proper
heraldic colors the "Anns and <'rest confirmed to Robert Atwater of
Royton Manor in Lenham by William Harvey Olarenceux Herald at
Arms in 1564" The additional information is given that the same arms
wire worn by John Water, York Herald, Times of Edward IV — Henry
VII. who "assisted at the solemnity of Edward's funeral," 1483. Also
by Thomas Waters, Carlisle Herald, Edward IV — Henry VIII. They
are described as "sable on a fesse wavy argent, between three swans
on the second, two bars, wavy azure, crest a demi-talbot argent, in the
mouth and arrow guls."
The origin of the Atwater family in the United States is traced with
certainty to and in the county of Kent, England; the surname appear-
ing very early in English records. Loth in various forms of the Eng-
lish language, and in the Latin as ad Aquam and de Aqua. It appears
in but twelve of the forty counties of England, the most northern of
these counties being scarcely more than 100 miles from the south coast.
In some of these it appears as early as 1325. The earliest mention of
the name known is in the county of Kent, parish of Stone, "where the
name Godefried ate Water occurs in connection with th manor of Eyl-
varton before the year 1257." All the ancestors of the American At-
waters, however, seem to have belonged in the parish of Lenham, in
Eoytin, about ten miles from Ospringe. John Atwater, of Royton, was
the father of Joshua, David and Anne Atwater, who came to America
dune 26. 1637, in the company of "Messrs. Eaton, Davenport and others,
founders of the New Haven colony. Joshua Atwater was one of the
seven men who, accompanying "Mr. Eaton from Boston to New Haven,
remained in a hut on what is now the corner of Church and Meadow
streets. New Haven, during the winter of 1637-S to make observations.
It is believed that the descendants of Joshua Atwater in the male line
are extinct, as none who ibear the name in America can be found who

do not trace their lineage to his brother, David. Joshua died May
16, 1676.
It is supposed that David Atwater, who remained in Boston while his
brother went to Quinnipiac with Mr. Eaton's company, did not go to
New Haven till the spring of 1638. Besides the town lot assigned to
him, as to the rest of the original settlers, the plantation assigned to
David Atwater in the original division of lands among the planters was
in the Neck, between Mill and Quinnipiac rivers, at the north of the
present city of New Haven, the general name of Cedar Hill applying to
this region. The eldest male representative in each succeeding genera-
tion was born there, and for a time, at least, resided there,
and there are still descendants of the original David residing at Cedar
Hill.
A great deal more of interest and value regarding the history of the
Atwater family both in England and in America, is given in the first
pages of the volume, with pictures, genealogical charts, etc., showing an
infinite amount of patient study and research on the part of the com-
pilers. There are family letters, lists of propeties, copies of wills and
others documents, all of which throw much light on the family history.
After the first ninety-four pages, the rest of the book is mainly taken
up with genealogical records, which even a casual glance shows to have
been compiled with rare skill and patience, so full and complete are
they in all details, and so many bits of interesting biographical and
historical matter are sandwiched in among them. Among the pictures
is one of the old brick house on State street, in the Cedar Hill district
of New Haven, which, according to tradition, was built by the second
David Atwater, and is still in possession of one of his descendants. He
died January 10, 1736. A silver baptismal bowl which has a curious
interesting history, the gift of Jeremiah Atwater to the "First (Center)
church of New Haven," is still in the possession of that church. There
are plenty of interesting people, prominent in Connecticut history, all
the way down the line, including the poetical Judge Amzi Atwater, of
Ohio; the founder of the wholesale commission firm of Atwater, Mulford
& Co., of New York city; and many others whom lack of space and time
forbid us to mention in detail.
The dedication of the volume to the son of the compiler, Dorence
Keith Atwater, is peculiarly touching. It reads:
This volume is affectionately dedicated to the memory of
DORENCE KEITH ATWATER,
son of the compiler and publisher, who was drowned August 23, 1900,

SUPPLIES A LONG FELT WANT.

Francis Atwater:
Dear Sir; — Last winter I wrote you that I was very ignorant of the
history of my ancestors. I never knew any persons by the name of
Atwater except my father and his family, my Uncle John and his two
boys, my Uncle Thomas's son who died in his youthful days, one son of
my cousin Henry and my own family. I had heard of people by that
name and could have made their acquaintance but I had no means of
proving my relationship.
Your book supplies a long felt want. I am now prepared to claim re-
lationship with any of them! I now have authority to prove my claim.
I wrote you last winter that my grandfather died while my father was
very young. My father never remembered seeing him. After my
grandfather's death, my father went to live with his grandfather
Forgason.
He seldom heard his father mentioned. He had some traditions.
One of these was that he was a son of John who was a son of John
and this condition extended back for generations. There was always a
John in the family.
T find this is true in your book. The numbers are 750, 293, 82, 20, 6.
My father had a notion, he thought it was a tradition, but it could only
have been a dream, that his father had no relatives in America; that his
father was a native of Wales.
You can imagine my surprise in learning that I am a descendant of
a long line of the blue bellied Connecticut Yankees instead of being a
Welshman. Later I will send you some corrections. I hope you will
conclude to publish a new edition of your book. In case you do, before
I am too old to attend to it, I will try to send you some farther history
Fraternally yours,

ATWATER HISTORY. 275
WORK OF GREAT MERIT.
The new Atwater family history is a work of great merit. In com-
piling mid publishing it the editor has done our family a great favor.
It differs from many of the works of similar name in that it does not
attempt to reduce all information to set form as the census-taker would.
It has no stereotyped se\ of questions, the answers to which are put
down in a table. This is a great advantage. The management has not
assumed to dictate to each family as to what shall go into its history.
The fullest liberty, the widest scope has been granted to each con-
tributor to write up his own history and that of his ancestors in his own
way. Hence the charm of individuality runs through the whole volume
and you can read it from beginning to end with deep interest. Almost
the only regret is that, in the case of some of the kindred, notably two
or three prominent and honored members of the family now deceased,
the living representatives have made so brief and inadequate a report.
But where many were contributing to the work, some little weakness of
this sort was inevitable. The book speaks for itself. It is a great boon
to our family — a monument to the enterprise and public spirit of the
editor.
