The Great Adventure
Oh England. Mother Country of us all I W In did \our leaders emasculate
your sons and daughters hcckoiicd li\ religious Ireedomy ^ our innumerable
encounters with all Kuro|)faii races. Komans. Danes, and Scots; cruelties
inflictetl. by self-appointed rulti>. upon high and low who crossed their
paths: fanaticisms and religious |)lagues to suit the immoralities of \our
ungodlike rulers: all these op|)ressed \oui' wmlln sons while accomplishing
little to bring ahoiil the ;'l('\a[ion id mankind.
Fortunately, there were a few. yes. main, who opposing the age-old
doctrine of "Dixiiif Highl of Kings." in the lnlicl that Right, not Might,
should be the law of England, brought about the Reformation. These
Commonwealth followers were nuMi id deterndnation and power. The\ hedged
their homes willi safeguards. The\ lieheaded Charles I. Cromwell i)ecanie
Dictator. The House of Commons ruled for a short interval.
Now among these liberty seeking individuals were the consanguineous
relatives of the Attualer Clan— men ol courage, intellect and substance —
who had fought a War of Words as good men should, for what they believed
was for the betterment of their fellow men. Realizing that ('haili's I was
ignoring Parliament and despairing of success in winning peace and ireedom
of worship for themselves and their posterity, they, after thought, long and
prayful. decided to embark on the 'Great Adventure." Thev would create a
social structure of their own. They would venture into the unknown dangers
of a strange land, with strange beings, in the 'New World.'
Authenticated records show our name — in various forms — appearing in
onl\ about one-quarter of the English Boroughs. Villages and Hundreds.
In his General History of Connecticut. William R. Cutter says: "The
surname Altwaler belongs to a large class of English famil\ names where
the |)ersonal name of a man qualified for identification bv a description of
his home, 'at-the-hill." etc., became fixed as a surname on his descendants . . .
like the preposition 'de' dropped from another class of names.""
"The earliest mention of the name Attwater found in faigland appears
in the chartular\ of the Cathedral Church of Canterl)ur\. Godfried atle W ater.
of Elywarton. in [he Parish of Stone, near Faversham. Count) of Kent,
before A.D. 1367."
"The old coat (d arms of Altwaler: sable on a fesse \\a\\ argenl bdween
three awanz ( f [lie second two bars lun \ azure. CresI : a dcmi-lalbol argent
in the month id an arron gules."
It is evident that the following records had not been called to Mr.
Cutler's attention at the time he wrote his historv. For in Rravlev's Topo-
iirophical History of Siirrry. there is a most interesting item bearing on the
possibilitv of our original name: ''''Manor of West Clandons In 127J). the 6th
of Edward I.. John De Agua or John Attewater seems to have claimed for
land he held at Clandon the right and privileges of ancient demesne and
2 ATWATER GENEALOGY
without j-ucces*." i Thi>i rouUI have been land attached to a manor h<tuse for
his forebears' personal use. It was during the reign of tlu- House of
Plantagenet. '
"The same jx*r?on. huwtner. on trial at Guildford against a writ of
.y»i. uarranto, established the right for himself and his men of Clandon to
buv ami sell in Guilford market without pacing tolls.
"At the same time John Alte water was sununoned to answer the charge
of haxiiig seized and imprisoned Robert Le Ken at Clandon Regis: in answer
to which he pleadetl the lomplainant was his \ illain. and tlic tiiiotioii was
decided in his favor."
It is also stated that on the Rolls of Parliament, during \.D. 1200. in
\ ul. I, Fol. 62. can be found the following:
•Rol»ert Attwater. with his wift- Isabella, brings an Assize of Novel
Dissiezin, . . . touching tenements in Rolherbethe." The above mentioned
pro|»ertN wa> located on the south bank of the Thames, two and oii(-(|uarter
miles south-east from St. Paul's Church. London.
Another interesting notation associated willi mir faiiiilv name and also
establishing the familv relati«inslii|i with "bkford. " is iouml in a folio iiub-

ATWATER GENEALOGY 3
And to coiiliiuic this continuilN . tlicre is the Idllouiiiy item in the History
of Herts,' "Parish ol Thorley. Diocese of London. William Att Water, clerk,
instituted 6th May. 133!^. Thomas Thorpe, instituted 2Uli Septendjer, 1393,
upon death of William Att W^ater."
Our most illustrious and outstanding English forebear ( it he was ai liiall\
kindred to our branch I is named in 1 lnl( hiiison's llistorv ol Dorset. \ ol. II.
page 351 :
"William Attwater was horn at Denninglon. in Somersetshire and was
a fellow of Magdalene College. O.vford in 1492. I min ] 107 to 1502 he was
Vice-Chancellor of that Ihiiversitv. and on the death ol Cardinal Moreton,
he. for a short time, executed the ofiiee of Chancellor. After several lesser
preferments he was. in 1502. Dean of King's Chapel: in 1506, Chancellor of
Lincoln; in 1509. Dean of Salisbury, and in 1514. Archdeacon of Huntington.
B\ the interest of Cardinal Woolsey, he succeeded him in the Bishopic of
Lincoln and was consecrated November 12. 1514. He died February 4. 1520.
aged 81. at his place at Woburn. Counl\ of Bucks, in the eluireh of wliirh
his bowels were buried, and his bod\ in his (Cathedral."
The manor of Royton, parish of Leidiam. was sold during the reign of
Henry VHI (1509 to 1547 A.D.) to "Robert Attwater. who leaving two
daughters and co-heirs. Mary the youngest carried it with other estates at
Charing and elsewhere in the neighborhood to Robert Mon\wood. Escp. of
Henewood, in Postling. He afterward resided at Pett. in Charing, being part
ol his wife's inheritance, and dying in 1576. was buried in Leidiam (Church.
"He left numerous issue by his wife, who survi\e(l him neaiK inrtx-ltnir
years, when she dying in 1620. in the ninety-third year of her age, was
interred near him. though a moiuimenl to her memor\ was erected at Mark's
Hall, in Essex. She had. as it is said, at her decease, lawfully descended
from her 367 children: 16 of her own: 114 grandchildren. 22<'> of ihe ihird
generation and 9 in ihe fourth.
"■"Ihe manor of Downe Court, in the parish of Leidiam: Rol)ert
Atluater. of Ronton, in this parish, died, possessed of it in 1565. whose
daughter and co-heir. Mary, carried il. with oilier estates in this parish and
neighborhood, in marriage to Robert Honywood, Esq.. of Postling."
Elias Edward \l\\aler. our outstanding historian, with ihe assistance of
Robert Heiu\ Alwater, worked out an Alwater family tree covering the
immediate forbears of Joshua and Daxid.
Recognizing the care, accurac\ and inlegril\ of ihe aforemenlioned
compilers, we must conclude that man\ ol the lamil\ relerences discovered
by them were akin to our branch bul nol necessarib in direct line.
So in this manner we come upon the will of Thomas Altuater. proxed
October 5th. 1484. see Archdeaconry Court. Canleibury. Book 3. p. 23. There
were two sons but oid\ John, who married Marvan. had issue. Of these four
only Robert, the elder, whose will is recorded in Book 15. p. 6. carried the
line through his son Thomas to Christopher whose will is recorded in I)ook

42, page 22. Christopher hat! four sons and a daughter. Joanna. \\\\o married
Stephen Cooke. Their chiUiren brought in the Atwood and Best families. But
we are only concerned with John Attwaler. who married Susan Narsin.
Of this union, there were three chihlren — Joshua. Aim and l)a\iil. uho
were to l»e the first Altwaters to hind in and assist in a very importatit part
of colonizing a portion of the New \\ urid. Father John neglectetl to leave a

to administer the estate.
Three months later. Susan died during Jamiar\ <>f 16HT. She was hiiried

It is reasonable to supposr that Joshua \tt\\at(>r and some others of
means, including Theo])!) Eaton. Steph Goodyear. Geo. Lambcrton and
others, did not ha\e their names on the manifest of the HEGIOH. For it
was just at this time that Charles I — who had dissolved Parliament — fearing
migration of man\ well-to-do Englishmen, issued the following "■['KOCLA-
MATION: . . . that the King, being iiifonncd that great lunnbers of his
subjects were yearly transported into tlios;' ports of America . . . among
whom arc main idle and rcfractorx humors, whose oid\ or principal end
is to live without reach of authority — doth command his officers and ministers
of the ports, not to suffer any persons, being subsidy men or their value to
pass any of those plantations without a license from his Majesty's connnis-
sioners for plantations first obtained, nor any under the degree of subsidy
men. without a certificate from two justices of the peace where they lived,
that they have taken the oath of allegiance and supremacy, and a testimony
from the minister of the parish, of their confonnit) to ihe orders and
discipline of the Church of England."
Without these certificates, any escaping non-conformists might, of
necessity, have to bribe the captain, even if members of the joint enterprise.
From all reports. Master Femes, of the HECTOR, was a brawler to say the
least of his character. His rough treatment of some of the tourist passengers,
like nineteen year old Lord Leigh, son of the Earl (tf Marlborough, was not
unnoticed by Joshua and others. Adults paid five pounds for passage, if not
members of the joint enterprise. One ton of general freight cost four pounds
per passage.
But even as everything comes to an end — they finally arrived in Boston
Harbor June '!(). 1 637.
Several town-sites in Massachusetts and New Hampshire were suggested
as likely settlements. This would seem to |)rove that the group had no
deiinite destination, except the \eu World, when they started.
In Boston, th.ere was talk bv soldiers returning from the Pcquot war
of the beautiful \alley and river at Ouinnipiac. Quin — meaning long ni|)pi.
to water and ohke — place. .So the Inilian name meant Long-water-place.
After considerable discussion, a committee consisting of Joshua Attwater.
Francis Brown. John Beecher. Robert F^igg. Thomas Hogg. David Attwater
and one other were appointed to investigate the territory. Neither Prudden.
Eaton or Davenport were included in this fust liip.
The seven spent the winter of 1637-U).!<"> at (^)uinnipiai . living in mud
huts. One died. As his name is reported as Beecher. we ha\e accounted for
six of the committee.

ecclesiastical authority in winch all civil matters and court authoritx were
vested. The entire Colony was motivated l»\ this chiiK h aiithuriu. wliich in
turn was governed by seven church members. Bro. Joshua Attwater was one
of the members of this authority.
The first |)ul)lic meetings were held in the ()|)('n. Finalh. these were
transferred to Robert Newman's barn. In the meantime. )oung John Brockell.
a London Surveyor, staked out the Townsite. As will be noted by a jierusal
of the plan, a reproduction ot which is included in an Atwater History for
the first time. Brt>ckett laid out nine squares for buildings, reserving 'Central
Square" for public use. The streets in the Townsite included State, York.
ChuK h. Grove. George. Chapel and College.
In the meantime. Joshua Attwater and his scouting committee were
anxious to complete their contract, for the purchase of the land, with the
Quinnipiac Indians. The agreement was finally approved by the Church
Authority and signed by Go\ . Eaton and the various Indian Chiefs. The
latter included:
MOMAl GIN - SUGCOGISM - QIESAQUAUSH - CARROrGIIOn -
WEESAUCICK - MONTOWESE - SAWSEUNCK and 'SHALMPISHLM,"
her mark.
As consideration, the Indians received 12 coats of English cloth, twelve
alchemy spoons, twelve hatchets, twelve hoes, two dozen of knives, twelve
porringers and four cases of French knives and scissors. Montowese, in his
agreement, which gave him 'eleven coats of trucking cloth, and one coat of
English cloth made up after the English manner.' also reserved a piece of
land near tiic village, "for his men which are ten. and many squaws to
plant in.'
The first \ear was spent in erecting living quarters. All of these were
constructed of hand-hewn, mortise and tenent type lumber. Later, bricks
were imported from London. B\ 1639, Nov. 25th. the General Court was
ready to order a meeting house to be erected at a cost of 500 pounds. It was
fifty foot square and had a lower and turret, with banisters and raiU on the
lop. (See seating plan in this volume, another first in Atwater Histories, i
While rheo|diilos Eaton was Governor, the real leader, at this time,
was John l)a\enpoii. who had (inalh established an autoi lalir cluucli-rule
of the 'Republic of Newhaven.' Davenport, horn in Coventr\. England, in
1597, of a middle-class, old and honored lainiK. had had a checkered career.
He entered Oxford at sixteen and three years later, he was admitted to
orders. Later, he becanie Vicar <d a church in London.
Davenport, tliru his non-conformist utterances and tactics, earned the
displeasure of Archbishop Laud. Fearing imprisonment, he found it necessary
to flee to Holland.
Now, as actual leader, of the 'most opulent colon\ which came into
New England,' Davenport succeeded in eslaldishing an autocratic governing

On the iith of December, Montowese, sachem of
another tribe, "in presence and with allowance and
consent of Sawseunck, an Indian who came in company
with him." sold to the English a tract of land lying
north of that sold by Momaugin, and described as "ex-
tending about ten miles in length from north to south,
eight miles easterly from the river of Quinnipiac to-
ward the river of Connecticut and five miles westerly
toward Hudson's river." Montowese, reserving a
piece of land near the village which now bears his
name, "for his men which are ten, and many squaws, to

we find numerous references concerning Joshua and David. Except for her
listing in the seating arrangements, there is no reference to Ami in the
above records, or for that matter in any (d tlie other histories about the
Colony.
Joshua, of course, was the most outstanding of the brothers, engaging
in many activities. Our efficient compilers of the |)ast have reached the
conclusion that his progeny finally died-out without issue. This confirms the
well-established theory that we all stem from David. With tine last item
about Joshua, we will proceed to chronicle a few David stories from the
records.
In the "List of Officials. Civil. Military, and Ecclesiastical of . . . New

It is claimeti that ""Daxitl was the first intli\itlual to take the Freemans

ATWATER GENEALOGY 17
As Joshua Attwater had been a successful mercer of Ashford and
prominent in its affairs, it was natural for him to be the first one to propose:
'An offering of a peck of wheat or the \ahic of same, from everyone whose
heart is willing' toward assistance U)r 'poor scholars at Har\ard College."
Some New England historians claimed that this contribulion was proposed
by Joshua for 'a school lor higher learning' at New Haven. In aii\ c\ciil.
we know thai when he became Treasurer of the Hcpnlilic Joshua had a
standing order passed at Town Meeting, requiring that such contributions
be in the form of a tax.
The first school master, is said to have been Ezekill Cheever, a Latin
scholar, author oi 'Shoil Introduction To The T.atin Tongue.' He resided
with "young Joshua Attwater, late of Kent, and now Treasurer of the Colony,
who looked down on the Square "from his great mansion, where Osborn Hall
now stands." Under a court ruling Joshua was to be paid five schillings per
week for housing the teacher.
Joshua's plea for a school of higlicr learning for ihe Coloii\ Imall) took
root. In 1647. other powerful members of the 'church-state' hierarchy joined
him in the movement. It was decided the time had come for a college of
their own. Later, the Colony granted eight acres of Joseph Peck's land in
New Haven, to the Collegiate School provided 'if settled here and so long
as it shall remain here.'
But this was the year in which a number of the more ])rosperous planters
— including some of the Attwaters — lost a sizable stake, for that age. in the
strange disappearance of one of their trading ships. 'The Phantom Ship' by
Longfellow, immortalizes this episode in New Haven shipping history. (See
under French Spoliation Claims.)
So it was not until 1660 that the college project received a new lease
of lile. This happened thru the generous action of Governor Hopkins of
Coimecticut. In his will, the Governor put aside a sizable amount for the
establishment of a college. John Davenport was named as one of the trustees.
When the union between New Haven and Connecticut became a certainty.
Davenporl nioxed. about 1670. to Boston, dissatisfied with ihe union and
new teri(leii(ies in the Co|on\.
A large portion ol ihe funds collected by Joshua Attwater and others
went toward the support of the 'Collegiate School" in Branford and The
Hopkins Graimnar S( hool" in \ew Haven.
It was not until 1701. when the Colonial AssembK. meeting in New
Ha\en. passed an act. dated October 9th. establishing a college, diat ihe
'Collegiate School' was ollicially recognized. This came about thru the
indefatigable efforts of the Rev. James Pierpont. Pastor ai the First Church
of New Ha\en. Nine other ministers, as listed herein, joined him in the
petition to the Colonial Assendih . He has. at times, been called the Pounder
of Yale.

With Hartford using every means — including Legislaluc inlliicnce — to
secure the college, the Trustees acted promjilK. I liey ordered the erection,
in New Haven, of a College Hall and Hector's house: ordcicd all >lii(lciils
to report at New Haven and elected two tutors.
The first 'College' huilding — at the corner of Chapel and College Sts.,
was 170 feet long. 22 feet wide and M) feet high. 1 luce stories high, with a
steep-roofed attic, it was huill entirclv of wood. Il ( oiilained a "lihrary. with
large Chapel which was also used as a (lining iiall. kitchen and 20 suites of
rooms for students.'
Leaders in Wethersfield, Saybrook and Branfoid rebelled against '('onrt
Acts' and also against the action of the trustees in ordering the building
buih in New Ha\en. Main of the hundreds of library books, of the Collegiate
School, were distributed in homes in the above mentioned towns. The follow-
ing is a report of the episodes inxolving the return of the library to New
Haven :
"HIS HONr the GOVr hearing of the refusal of th.' Libiar\ calls
together the Council to Saybrook, where they ordered Mr. Buckingham in
whose house they were to deliver . . . but he refused, then after pains taken
with him by perswasion to no pirpose, they bound him o\er to answer to
the next Genl Court in 100 pound bond, and innnediately ordered the
Sheriff to SIEZ the BOOKS, who went according but met with such opposition
that he returned again and took new' orders with him to break doors and
call assistance, which he did and broke the door of Mr. Buckinghams house
and entered and seizd the Librar) and it was guarded all niglit and |n(i\ision
was made next day for the Transporting of it by Carts, but in the night the
Carts were broken and confounded and oxen turn<'d away; nevertheless they
made new provision and the next day under ye Major of Ye County's
Conduct, they were transported out of the Town, and some of the opposers
that talked sausily were bound o\er to the tiext County Court.
"The books tho' they met with opposition b\ the wa\ in tiiat some of
the bridges were broken up, yet in three days they arrived at ye Colledg at
New Haven, about ye beginning of Decendir. but we found about 260
wanting: however ail we had being above a 1000 VOLLUMS of choice books
we fixed up in order in ve Library."
Middletown had also tnade a strong bid to secure the school. But Gov.
Saltonstall. a firm friend of iIh' college idea. iikUk rd the General Assembly
to pass the following resolution:
'That under the present circumstances of the affairs of die Collegiate
School, the reverend trustees be advised to proceed in thai affair: and to
finish the house they have built in New Haven, for the entertainment of die
scholars belonging to the Collegiate School.'
As early as 1701 — Novendier II th — a nundxT of books were Inongbl
by each trustee to the meeting and presenting them to the grouj) wtjuld su) :
'I give these books for the founding of a college in Connecticut.'

ATWATER GENEALOGY 21
Despite the Reverend's schdlaiK and |)crsisteiit appeals, no progress was
made with this man. who was now trying to huild character, until Cotton
Mather's memorable letter ot the 14th of January. 1718:
'Sir.' said he. "though \ ou have felicities in vour fainih. which. 1 prav.
God continue and multiply, yet certainly, if what is forming at New Haven
might wear the name of YALE COLLEGE, it would he better than a name
of sons and daughters. And your munificence might easil\ obtain for \ ou a
commemoration and per])etuation of Nour valual)le name, uliicli would indrcd
be much better than an l'.g\ptian pyramid.'
Those capital letters nmst have caught the eye of this op|)ortunist. for
within six months 'three bales or trunks of valual)le goods' arrixed in Boston,
from Elihu \ ale. to be sold for the benefit of the School. There was also a
'fulldength })ortrait of King George L, by Kneller.' (said at present to be in
the College collection): 'an escutcheon representing the ro\al arms, which
was destroyed in the Revolution, and a large box of books.' In the invoice,
some of the materials were listed as follows: '25 pieces of garlix. 18 pieces
of calico. 17 pieces of worsted goods, 12 pieces of Spanish poplin. 5 pieces
of plain muslin. 3 pieces of camlet, and 2 of black and white silk crepe.'
While the Yale Genealogy puts a very high value on Elihu's sole contri-
bution to the School, most writers agree the goods sold for $560. after
having been inventoried at 200 pounds.
"We were favored and honored.'* writes Tutor Johnson, on that bright
September morning of 1718. "with the presence of his Honor Governor
Saltonstall and his lady, . . . Lieutenant Governor and the whole Superior
Court, a great number of reverend ministers and a great concourse of specta-
tors. The trustees, meeting in the new building first most solemnlv in the
sonorous Latin periods still spread upon their records, 'named our college
by the name of Yale College . . . upon which the Hon. Col. Tailer, who had
been sent over by Queen Anne as Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts Bay,
and who in anticipation of these festivities had made the toilsome journey
from Boston, represented Governor ^ ale in a speech, expressing his great
satisfaction."
A ])rofuse and 'painful' ( ? I letter of thanks was of course forwarded lO
the donor. Duinmi r later reported 'liiat the old gentleman was more than a
little pleased — saving that lie expressed at first some kind of concern whether
it was well in him. being a churchman" (sic) 'to promote an Academy of
Dissenters.
Elihu now agreed, verballv of course, to give the College £200 sterling,
per annum, as long as he li\ed. This was to be continued after his death.
Within a month, according to Dunnner. he had broken his promise. How-
ever, in 1721, Elihu Yale claimed he had sent goods to the College, valued
at £100. There is no record of this shiiMnent — if it did arrive. He left an
unsigned will, containing a clause with a bequest of £500 to the College. Mr.
22 ATWATER GENEALOGY
Duminer. despite his- Ju^llllal•le pleas, failed to induce the heirs to reropnize
it as a valid le^ae\.
The ^ ale Genealogy refers, here anil there, to llie Governor's niarilal
status. While Klihu married Catharine Klford Hynmers at Madras, in lOoO.
the Genealogv 'admits — that he also was living* there, in iniinoial relations
nith a Mrs. Nieks and a Mrs. Pavia. tin- latter a Portuguese Jewess.' Mrs.
H\nnjers is described as *a eopper-colt>red native of India." But recent his-

ATWATER GENEALOGY 23
On December 20. 1686 Sir Edmond Andros arrived in Boston with a
commission from the King appointing him Coxcnior of all \cu England. In
order to extend his governing over Connecticut he wrote several letters to the
Governor of Connecticut requesting the surrender of the Connecticut Charter.
The request was l)rought before the Assembh and il stalled on direct
compliance. Einally on October 22, 1687 Andros announced that he would
send or come himself to pick up the Charter. On October 26 he left Boston
attended by eight members of his Council and guards and arrived in Hartford
late in the afternoon ot October .HI where they were met by Conned iciit
Governor Treat and his staff. Andros proposed that they dine first, after wlii( li
the) meet in the Council Chand>er. He graciously invited Governor Treat, the
Deputy Governor, and the Secretary of the Council to dine with him.
At the meeting after the dinner were the Connecticut Officials and twentv-
four of the thirty-four elected deputies, among whom were Moses Mansfield
and Abram Dickerman of New Haven. A member of Andros' partv read the
King's command to Andros to annex Connecticut to his government of Massa-
chusetts. The Charter was then brought forward and handed to Governor
Treat, who snipped the thong with which the Charter was tied, unrolled il.
and laid it on the table. Governor Treat then made a speech setting forth
what the Charter meant to Connecticut and expressed his con\i(tioti of the
illegality of these proceedings. John Wadsworth of Hartford llirti lollowcd
with a sjjeech backing up the remarks of the Governor. He was followed by
Andros who made some tactful remarks. It is then recorded that Andrew
Leete, son of William Leete. the former Governor of New Haven, got up and
was in the midst of a blistering attack on the King's actions with respect to
Connecticut when a sudden commotion occurred.
It is not entirely clear as to just what happened at this pdint. One
account has it that Andrew Leete was taken suddeidv ill and pitched forward
onid the table upsetting the candelabra and extinguishing the candles, while
another report has it that a sudden gust of wind coming in through the open
window extinguished the candles. During the momentary darkness until the
candles could be relighted the Charter disappeared from the table. One report
states that the Charter was snatched from the table and passed to .Tos(>ph
Wadsworth who was standing outside the open window, who took it to the
house of Samuel Wyllys. on whose j)roj)erty stood a large oak tree. Fhcre
was no one home but Mistress Wyllys. who suggested that the Charter be hid
in a hollow of their oak tree. The Charter reposed in ll:c lice until a safer
place was found and (lie tree was known lliiTcal'icr ;i> the ('JKirtcr Oak.
When the candles were relighted Andros saw thai the Charter had
disappeared and noting that no one had left tlic room lie realized he had
been tricked, but made the best of the situation and announced there seemed
to be no further occasion to conlirnie the nic(>ting. Thus. th<^ Connrcfirnt
Charter was saved.

locate and mark the gra\es of I'nion soldiers in the South, lliis roll was of
great value and Dorrnce was detailed to accompan\ her to XndiTsoin illc.
During this service Dorence was accused of ihclt <d his own records
from an officer, was court martialed and given a dislionorable discharge.
From that time Miss Barton was his close friend and militant supporter.
Through her efforts, and those of other friends, some enlisted by Miss
Barton, the sentence of the court martial of iJlOS was set aside more than
30 years later.
I had onl\ one brief oppurtunits to meet Clara Barton: that was at
the home of Francis Atwater in Meriden. She was then as close a friend
of her host as she had been of his brother. Francis had served as Treasurer
of the Red Cross during the Spanish- American War and had accompanied
her to Havana. As near as I can recall she was then 85 or 86 years of age,
in full possession of her faculties and interested in all that went on about her.
I I does not take nmch imagination to call up one of the earliest recorded
scenes in the life lime of public service of Clara Barton. It is the da\ after
the Sixth Massachusetts had been fired upon in lialtimore. Ellsworth had
been killed and the regiment with its wounded had arrived in Washington.
The wounded arc (|uartered in the old Senate Cluunber and those
attending them filled the seats whilst Miss Barton, from the vice-president's
chair, was reading the lidme town newspaper aloud.

Heraldry
Irom the earliest times, nations, tribes, chieftains and families have
adopted distinguishing symbols. The Greek and Roman heroes wore various
devices on their shields. In the East, the Chinese Empire was symbolized by
the five-clawed dragon: the Japanese empire bv the chrvsanthemum. In the
New World, the Aztecs carried shields and banners adorned witli symbolic
devices. Totemism was another forerunner of heraldr\.
It was not until the 12th centurv ihat iruc heraldry began in Western
Europe. Kings and princes were the first to make use of personal insignia.
Although earlier monarchs had adopted personal marks on seals, the first
English king to use his great seal as a coat of arms on his shield was Richard I
who ruled from 1189 to 1199. During the late 12th and throughout the entire
30 ATWATER GENEALOGY
13lh centuries arms ap|>eared iiu-reasiiigh mi shields. \^ ithiii a >\uh[ iime
most of the great houses in Kiighiiid aiul upon tin* Continent were displa\ ing
them.
\\ riters attribute the sudden einergeney of heraldr\ at this time to the
need of knights and lords for some mark of identifieation. When they were
in full armor, they were unreeognizal>le. Feu louUi read so instead of usnig
a nameplate eaeh man adopted a distinctive insignia, known as a "eoal of
arms." He displaced this on his siiield. hanner and horseclotii. as well as on
his eiiat, and wore it in ei\il life as well. The hereditary character of heraldry
owed its existence to the feudal soi-ial system in wlmli ^-mich on il^ -i( iilar
>ide was held tt»gether li\ personal allegiance of each man to lii^ Icml. The
coat of arms hecame not (iiil\ a svinixil i>l llic ouncrs iilcnlil\ Imt al-d his
status as well.
The great increase in the nundier of coats of arms e\entuall\ made
some kind of contr«)l necessarv . In tlic nid of the \M\\ centurv. aluiul 1.500
arms had been adopted in England. Evidence points out that in the I llli

ATWATER GENEALOGY 31
Certain customs dexelopcd in the use of the coat of arms. Those for
England and Scoth^nd differed on many ])oints. In thi> discussion, we will
otdy l)e concerned with the Englisli usage. These customs were generally
recognized by the King of Arms or Garter in tlie issiiim: <>i |i;Uents. Many
of them are still observed while others haxc laileii into disuse. Since no iuo
men might wear the same coat of arms simultani'ousl) . the sons were re(|uire(i
b) custom to ""dilference" their fathers coat by alterations. Frequentl\ ilie\
changed the colors, added new devices to the coat, perhaps a border, or both.
The first son wore a label, the second a crescent, the third a star, the iomth
a bird called the ''martlet." the fitlh a ring, the si\lli a jlciir-dc-lxs. the sexeiith
a rose, the eighth a certain kind oi cross called a "Cross moline." and the
ninth an eight-pelalled flower. I pon the death of the father, the first son
inherited the plain coat of arms from him and removed the label. The
younger sons, however, retained their indixidual marks, and in turn passed
them on to their descendants who also added further dilferences.
Women also possessed certain rights regarding their fathers" coals ol
arms. Daughters were allowed to use their father's coat which they de})icted
on a diamond-shaped "lozenge." When they married, they '"impaled" tlieir
own iamily coat beside their husband's on his shield. If their father had no
sons, they became heraldic heiresses and could place their own famiU shield
in the middle of tluMr husband's shield. This modified shield was called
"escutcheon ot pretense." Illegitimate sons were required to seek a new
grant of arms from the Crown either in the form of the original coat with a
special mark of difference or an entirej\ new coat.
Coats of arms were passed from one generation io anollu'r in ilie same
way as land. If a man had no sons, the land and arms passed to his
daughter and thence to her son. The son. Ii(iue\er. could not use the coal
inherited tludugh his mother without "quartering" it. This look place when
the shield was dixided into e(pial "(luai lers" in which were placed the
various coats of arms whi( h its owner had iidierited. 1 bus if a man had no
sons and several daughters, all of lii> grandchildren could (piarlci his arms
with their own father's coal. It nia\ be seen that after several generations
of marriages to heiresses, a laniiK might have a large mimber of (piarlerings.
I he gencial principles of (juarlering are slill ol)scr\ed. K\i-n when there
are more than four coals of arms used. the\ are still called quarterings.
Up Io lour (fuarters ma\ he placed in each quarter of a -liicld. Ihcn there
are more than this mimber. the lour (|uarters of the shield n)a\ liccome
"grand (luarters. one or nmrc ol llicm being >ub-di\i(lc(l inio lesser (piarters
to acconnnodate the extra coats. Since Tudor limes, any number of new coats
ma\ be added consecutively without sub-di\ision into fours. As a result, a
shield becomes "quarterly of six or "(piarlerlx ol ten. whatexer the nundier
of coats may be.
It does not follow that families having tlii' ^anle surnames are entitled
to wear the same coat of arms. If one can trace blood relationship to the
32 ATWATER GENEALOGY
other, that fainilx i> eiititleci to a differeiu-ed version of the arms. I nrelaled
families, therefore, who ha\e the same surname are given a dissimihir phiin
coat of arms.
The Atuater loat of arms was worn on sexeral important State oirasions
in the histor\ of Englanii. It is first recorded us heing home l>\ ]o\\n W ater.
^ ork HeraUl at Arms, at the funeral of King Edward l\ in 1 U>i-}. His arms
were des4-ril»ed as "sahle. on a fe>M' wa\\ argent. IkIui-imi three swans of ihe
set-ond, two bars. \\a\\ azure, crest a (Itiiii-laliiot argent, in the inuutli an
arrow gule>."* These arms belonged to tin- " Vlualcrs of Kent, uilli \ariations
of the fesse for tlitference. The arms willi the same crest were confirmed to
Robert Atwater ttf Kent b\ Clarencieux Harvey in ISfvI. with "tlie colors of
the crest being transposed for dilTerence." Robert Atwater being without
male heirs, it is found that his ilaughter Marv. who married Robert llon\-
wood. iniierited se\erai of her fathers manors and bore his coat ol arms.
At the entrance of one of the Honywood manor houses, a contemporarv
writer in the late l(»lh centurs described the ear\e(l quarterings of ihe
famih's arms. One i»f these was the "Sabli'. ua\\. bendx. of four, in fesse
argent, between three swans proper, for Waters."

Facetiously, I have heard Atualer members say: In tliose earlv clays,
our ancestors were either minister? or rum sellers.' But In In- fair In lliose
earl\ "rum sellers.' one must remember tiiat the iimkeeper s occupation was
considered an honorable one in New Havens early hospitable days.
In more serious talcs, we had heard of daring Attwater sea captains
running the Privateer Blockatles in the Carribbean. in our investigation and
research covering numerous Atwater "old wives' talcs." manv of which had
no foundation in fact, we remembered the French Spoliation Claims. Ila\iiig
received the nmnihccnl sum of 832.70 from a New Haven law firm, in the
early part of the Centurx. as our share in these ship claims, wr knew ihat
this 'tale' was worth further investigation.
So we wrote to the National Archives and Record Service in W ash-
ington. 1). C. In response to our request for authentic information, ihe
following letter was received:
""\ our letter of June 22. 1954. requested information about f rcnch
Spoliation claims relating to Thomas Attwater of New Haven. Conn.
An examination of the records of the United States Court of Claims and

New Haven on March 29. 1800. bound for Martinque. On May 18. 1800.
the ship was captured In the French privateer L'EGYPTE CONQllSE and
was condenmed and sokl for the benefit of its captors. The conclusions of
law filed in this case on Aj)ril 11. 1892. found that the st-izure and con-
denmation were illegal and that the administrator of the estate of Thomas
Atwater was entitled to the sum of SI. 630. 12.

Even in the last \ear. he has been twice honored, as one ina\ apprci iat<-
by reading the following articles, clipped b\ this editor from loc al papers:
"Captain James R. Atwater has been selected b\ the Agriculture Kdu-
cation IHxision of the State Department of Education as an "horiorar)
Georgia Planter.' This honor is to be bestowed upon a handful of Georgians
on October 21 and Captain Atwater is the first Upsonian ever picked for
the honor.
T. G. Waher. a supervisf^r of the |)rogram. said that tiaplain .\twatcr
was selected "in honor of his work in tlu> past to promote agricultural edu-
cation in Upson county.' It is the highest honor that can come to a person
in vocational education.
The Upsonian will not be able to attend the slate ceremony in Macon
on October 21 and a special ceremon\ is being planned to be held at James
R. Atwater School at a later date.
In amiouncing the selection it was pointed out that Captain Atwater
has been interested in vocational agriculture for many years. He sponsored
the first vocational agriculture program in Upson County and this |)rogram
was a forerunner of the F.F.A. and Ml programs. Since the latter prt)grams
have come into existence he has contributed to them.
In the Atwater connnunit\ he has contributed land for vocational agri-
culture and a shoj) building which is used in coimection with xocational
agriculture.
Also Captain \(w ater has ammalK (onl libiited prize mone\ to encourage
and promote vocational agriculture. He was at one time a |)ea( h larmer and
has alwavs promoted all farming interests in Upson.

earthquakes and tornadoes. Perhaps the reason for this la\ in tlu- fact that
they are no prohlem in the great Middle West and of rare occurence in the
populous East. In the ruggest western mountains, to lie sure, thev picked off
many a traveller from a mountain trail and overwhelmed man\ an isolated
mining camp hut for the most part the) thundered down, tearing up irees
and dislodging rocks, hut quite harmlessi) otherwise.
Now it is different in the West. The enthusiasm over skiing and nlhcr
winter sports takes thousands of people into the hills on every fine winter
day, and other thousands travel the mountain highways, under the avalanche
threat. Hence the avalanche-buster.
My son's experience during the second world war included service as
Aide to the General in charge of the training of ski-troops and mountain
troops. He was, before that, a skilled woodsman, having lived much of his
life in Montana near the top of the Continental Divide, with interludes of
taking a Harvard B.A. and of coaching football — all useful experience. \
study of Swiss snow-control methods was helpful, hul conditions in ihe
Rockies differ from conditions in the Alps and for the most part he has had
to blaze his own trail. At Alta he has set up a laboratory for snow-stud) with
instruments — most of them devised by himself — for the accurate measurement
of snowfall, wind direction and velocity, snow temperatures, changes in snow
consistency, and the other factors that make one inclined snow-mass deadly
and another harmless. But this work, important and exacting as it is. would
be of little practical value without the working out of methods to neutralize
the danger when understood and predicted.
The force in a great avalanche is tremendous, and no j)ossible structure
of barriers will withstand it. The only feasible method of dealing with it is
to make little avalanches of the big ones before they grow big, and to bring
down those that inevitably grow big. when they can be brought down safely.
Small avalanches may often be induced to slide by a skillful and dating
skiier, though this method has its hazards. The dangerous '"cornices that
form along sharp ridges as a result of wind-action require a different treat-
ment, as do great masses of "slab" snow. Dynamite charges, suitably placed,
take care of some of these: others are persuaded to come down with cannon
fire, a small howitzer gun being found the most efficient tool for the imipose.
These techniques were worked out by experiment at Alta.
Travellers motoring over some of tli<' lugh passes in Colorado la>t
summer were startled to find themselves in the midst of artillery fire and may
have thought thev had blundered into a bit of guerrilla warfare, but it was
merely a set of tests to find the best gun-emplacements and the correct range
for the guns that will make those dangerous stretches of highway safe next
winter.
Avalanches, of course, run in regular channels, though sometimes they
run miles further and hundreds of feet deeper than in other years. The
main ones have najnes and infamous histories. The ski resort at Alta is on
56 ATWATER GENEALOGY
the >ite of an abandoned silver mine of the old da\s and during the time
of the mining aetivitv man\ men were caught and killed 1>\ the avalanches.
That the njodern methods of snow etuitrol are effeetive is j)roved hy the fact
that since 19U> when the snow station was set uj» at Alta there has not l)een
a single fatalit) there, though thousands of skiiers are on the slopes everv
fine week-end during the winter.
M\ son's activities are not confined to Alia. He inspects ski projects all
through the western mountains and plans safety measures and recommends
safetx procedure. He is called on in snow emergencies — as wlicii l;i-l wiiiln

Helen Atwater
No. 1523
Home Economist
Rorn in Summerville, Massachusetts, the daughter of Dr. Wilbur Olin
Atwater. a pioneer investigator in the field of human mjtrition. Miss Alualc r
literally grew up in the field to which she devoted her lifetime. Taken abroad
at the age of six as her father pursued his scientific studies, she learned
German in Germany and French in France. She used both languages as
editorial assistant to her father in slucTu's that were inlcrnalional in scope
and which set the pattern for scientific experiment in this country.
Set Up Station in Connecticut
During her childhood her father conducted the first agriculture
experiment station ever set up in the United States, in Connecticut. In 1894
Congress appropriated the first money for work in this field, and Dr.
Atwater came to the Department of Agriculture as head of the new Olfitc ol
Experiment Stations. In 1896 he turned out the first tables ever made on ihc
composition of familiar foods.
After her graduation from Smith College, Miss Atwater helped on ihc
first popular presentation of these facts, which went out as Farmers' Bulletin
No. 142. She lived to see her father's centenary and the fiftidh annixcrsary
of his Federal pioneering celebrated.
Two years after Dr. Atwater's death in 1907. Miss Atwater joiii.d the
staff of her father's old department, and for fomtcrn years continutil there
her work of interpreting scientific findings into la\nians language. She
then became first editor of the Journal of Home Economics, monthly official
organ of the American Home Economics Association.
Did International Work
She was also one of the organizers of intcrnalional ( (mfciences on human
welfare. She served as a consultant for the Assoi iatrd ( !oiiiitr\ uoincn of
the World, with headquarters in London.
Miss Atwater's work in coiuiection uith the jointth of these institutions he kept in active touch until his
illness, and in the latter post of his two successors have been his friends and
associates. Doctor A. W. Harris. '80. and Doctor A. (". True, '7.'^. His
last important appointment was as chief of the nutrition investigations of
the United States Deparlinenl of Agriculture, and it was iindn the patronage
of this department and (»f the Carnegie Institution of Washington that his
latest researches were conducted. Of the numerous scientific and social
organizations and enterprises with which Professor Atwater was connected,
and of the various honors which were conferred upon him. the lack of
s|)ace forbids the enumeration. Neither is it possible to list the more than
150 publications which bear his name."
And in conclusion this note — a minute concerning Professor Atwater
adopted by the faculty of Wesleyan University shortly after his dcalli in 1907:
'in the death of Wilbur 01 in Atwater. Wesleyan University loses a
member of its faculty who in scientific research stood pre-eminent. TTis
name was more widely known in the scientific circles of this countr\ and
Europe than that of any other professor in the institution at the present or
in the past. Himself an investigator, he knew how to engage others in the
work of investigations. He had rare judgments and his reputation were largely
due lo his ability as an organizer and director of scientific work. In die
earlier part of his scientific career his work was devoted chiefly to agricultural
chemistry, and he was a potent influence in the creation of a more scientific
agriculture."
(Editor's Note: / had hoped lo hare my friend, C. II.'. Olin'.s son nrile

offices in 56 Wall Street. V. Y. City, where Charles Wooduard also had his

farmers in this district as a storage ])lace for grain. The oldest letter, written
in January of 1834, is a request for space in wITh li to store wheat. According
to Atwater great quantities of grain, salt, farmers" supplies and conmiodilies
were stored in the building until such a time as llie\ eonid be shipped o\er
the canal to distant markets. Supplies also were shipped into the waichonse
from other points in this part of the country and then distrilniled to businesses

Better yet, worship all holy words, make obeisance in their presence,
bow before their magic and kneel before their wonder- like a priest:

In addition to family members, the Author wishes In thank all nur
friends, who have taken such an unselfish interest in this work. Besides these
heretofore mentioned, our appreciation and thanks Id liiilli 1!. IJnberis for
her final reading of the typesetter's completed pages.
Last, but not least, to that talented young actress and artist, Alice Nobes
Lunsford. for her continued interest and especially her artistic work on the
Attwater Arms and Crest, which thru her aesthetic endea\ors is now in
the homes of so many of our family members.
Finally, may I call to the attention ol those mendiers inlereslcd in
'Heraldry' the following facts. While the one we use in this Ndhinie i> llic
best looking of the three Arms and Crests, attributed by Burke and nlhers
to Attwater families, it has not l)een subjected to emblishmeni or (I(m idiiim
by the artist, which has been the case with so nian\ nf the older ianiiK >\ nd)ois
which are now offered to the public. The coloring by the artist has been taken
from authentic records of the past.
Even the motto— PATRIA CLARA CARIOR LIBERTAS (translated,
'dear is countr\ but liberty is dearer still,' now used by some Atwater
members, has been discarded by this Author, as Contra honos mores.
Does any member of our clan imagine that Edward IV. Henr\ \ III.
Richard 111 or that unspeakable Elizabeth would have allowed a show of
'poor manners' on any banner of chieftain or knight?

(Editor's Note: As a young man, Elisha. my grandfather, established a
large business as a ship-chandler. His quarters occupied an entire ware-
house of three and one-half stories and basement on the corner of Burling
Slip, New York City. Elisha also controlled a "Packet Line" between New
York and North Florida. His interests were far-flung throut the world —
as he outfitted ships for many distant lands. Financing many of these
ventures made him a very wealthy man. Before he was forty years old,
he sold out and retired.
Later, Elisha acquired large properties in the Bronx and finally a
very beautiful estate at Huntington, L. I. I have been told by one of the
chief executives of the Telephone Company, that when the first dial
system was being tested, his nanie — with the names of other prominent
old families of New York — was picked for the experimental try-out of
the new system. When I doubted this because my grandfather always
used three '"t's" — the executive exclaimed: "Well, we just dropped one
of them."
My grandfather was not a teetotaler neither am I. However, I am
convinced his record would be as clean as my own — for never having
imbibed to the state of intoxication. He did have an elaborate wine cellar
at Huntington. This, in the eyes of my good mother — bless her soul — was
the work of the Devil.
My father, Samuel Hobart, died five months before I was born. With-
out having had the opportunity of placing my innocent childish clutches
in the old gentleman's heart, he passed away when I was five, leaving me
the mvmificent sum of one dollar.
A high-hatted, slick lawyer, by the name of Rock, settled with the
estate for sizable sums, over a foiu' year period, without my innocent
mother being aware of the situation. While eventually, I had newspaper
notoriety, when a judgment was secured against the lawyer and he was
sent to jail — not even the dollar ever reached me or my mother.
There were others involved. Besides, I don't know the old gentleman's
side of the triangle. He should not be condemned without a hearing.
Despite the odious memories attached to my paternal side, at eight years

of agf. wiihsianiiing considerable pressure from those innocents surround-
ing me. I flatly refused to change my name to Charlie Bates.

Besides being one of the oldest and wealthiest of Thomaston citizens, he
was one of the most prominent, influential and highly esteemed. Not only did
he stand high in the affection of his home people but wherever he was known
men respected and loved him. A citizen of another city who is one of the most
prominent men in the state and who was a business associate of Captain
Atwater's said of him: "Few men have lived to better purpose, or have had
higher regard of their friends and acquaintances than Mr. Atwater."
Captain .Atwater was a man of strong convictions and once he took a
stand in a matter he was almost unshakable. It is said of him that above all
things he despised a hypocrite and hated all manner of shams. He was also a
man who loved his friends and would stop at nothing to aid them. There aie
many wh(j owe their business success to his assistance and counsel.
Captain Atwater .served through the Civil War with ihstinction. He was
noted for his bravery in battle and his efficiency in military tactics, being
made captain of five different companies to perfect their organization. Many
of his comrades who are still living gratefully hear testimony to his valorous
record.
After the conflict ended he was active in the politics of ITp.son county
serving as county commissioner for twelve years, during which terms of
service he was one of the first men in the state to refuse a permit for a cross
road saloon.
Cai)tain Atwater was also one of the founders of the R. E. Lee Institute
of Thomaston. and for twenty-three years acted as chairman for the board of
trustei'S for that well known institution.
For years Cajjtain Atwater was a leader in every movement looking to
the upbuilding and betterment of his town and county.

called himself his pastor's assistant and it was true. He was far-seeing, clear
cut in his processes of thought and of a philosophic turn of mind. One writer
said of him: "I have always regarded Mr. At water as one of the most genuine
Christians that I have ever known. He was ripe and ready for the gainer.
Doubtless he had his defects, but all in all. I have known very few men who
stood out and above the multitude as distinctly for Christ as he did. The
spiritual stream of his life ran smooth and deep, and he never allowed the
straws that floated upon the surface to disturb the serenity of its depths."

of the orpiaanage, she knew that this was her hfe work, and together they
worked with unceasing labor until, from a feeble beginning, the orphanage had
grown into proportions that promised perpetuity. Then Mr. Jenkins laiti down
his beautiful life, and bound more closely than ever to the product of their
united efforts, she has mothered the little orphan children who have been

light and joy of real home life.
