LEWIS L. BURRITT
No human being can come into this world without increasing or diminishing the stttn total of htttnan happiness, not only of the present, but of every subsequent age of hu manity. No one can detach himself fron1 this connection. There is no sequestered spot in the universe, no dark niche along· the disc of non-existence, to which he can retreat frotn his relations to others, where he ~an \\1ith draw the influence of his existence upon the moral destiny of the world; everywhere his presence or absence will he felt, - every where he will have companions who will be better or worse for his influence.
Elihu Burritt
"There be those of them that have left a name behind them, that their praises 111ight be reported; and some there be which have left no n1e1norial; who are perished, as though they had never been." 8 B U R R J T T F A ~1 I L Y
Preface In these de111ocratic times it has become a habit of many people to deprecate any reference to, or thought of, and es pecially any appearance of pride in ancestry. This to s0111e extent is commendahle since a nrnn's true worth must be measured hy his personal character and achievement. A 111an is no less noble because his ancestors were slaves, nor is he less a knave if he is descended fron1 kings. However, to a thoughtful man, it must ever be a just source of pride to know that his fathers have been honorable, self respecting, law abiding citizens. That they have will ingly shouldered their share of public burdens and that they have adhered to high personal ideals. I, as c01npiler of this volume, make no clain1 to con1plete ness, but am glad to offer to those who are interested such 1naterial as I have gathered, howevc_r incomplete it must seetn. In the fourth and fifth generations there are, in many lines, lapses which I have been unable to bridge, 111any living tnembers of the fatnily have not been reached and others are not in possession of sufficient data to establish a connection. It is tny hope that, to such of these as n1ay wish to pursue the subject, these records will prove of value. Records of son1e allied fa111ilies have been appended, prin cipally such as show inter-marriage with two or more branches of the fatnily. I wish to acknowledge the very kind assistance of many 1ne1nbers of the fa1nily in furnishing their personal and fam ily records, and especially to i\l iss Vera Fenn, of Port Byron, N. Y., whose interest has been untiring; to Dr. Alice Burritt of Washington, D. C., who furnished n1e a cotnplete record of her branch of the fa1nily and who first showed n1e a copy of the coat-of-arn1s; to Nlaurice C. Burritt of Hilton, N. Y., for his splendid work on the Giles Burritt branch, and to the tnany others whose natnes cannot he here tnentioned. Of the Coat-of-Artus, Dr. Alice Burritt says, "I first found a description in a vVelsh history and later found the original B U R R I TT F A l\l I L Y 9 design in a history of Brittany." "l'he three scallop shells," she says, ''were bestowed by .. Pope Alexander IV, ( 1254- 1261) to those who had been on crusades to the Holy Land, or on long religious pilgrimages. · The 1notto, "Jc' endure pour She advances the theory that the name 111ay have been changed to Burritt at the time that the term barratry hecamc ·a sfnonr111 for certain forms of knavery which became widc ~t>read~,bottt this ti111e. The conjecture is a reasonable one since the family have always been jealous of the honor of the name. l\1y theory has been that the name, spelled Berret at the time of the beginning of the vV clsh residence, was changed to preserve the proper pronunciation, the ( e) being pro nounced like the English ( u ). The two theories, however, Jink together with the result that the name in \Vales became Burritt. Our ancestors did come from Brittany to \Vales about the time of \Villiam the Conqueror, (1066) and the fact that they were land holders in Wales would seem to indicate that they were among his knights at the battle of Hastings. This giving of conquered lands was \Villiams' method of repaying his soldiers. \Villian1 Burritt, his wife Elizabeth and their three chil dren were an1ong the very early settlers in A111erica, coming from Glamorganshire, Wales, some titne previous to 1635. \\'illiam Burritt was one of the founders of Stratford, Conn., where records are found as early as 1635 and where he died in 1651. It is thought that the family lived in other Connecticut towns before settling in Stratford. After the death of \Villia111, Elizabeth continued to live in Stratford until her death in 1781. She is reported to have been a keen business woman, buy ing and selling 111uch property, but always buying n1ore than she sold. She could neither read nor write but left her mark on the records of the County in many instances. Coat Armour Heraldry is so far a dead science, or, one 111ight say a dea To our early ancestors, it meant n1ore. It was a hadge of leadership, distinction and honor. Lord Lindsay says in his "Lives of the Lindsays", "Every British gentleman entitled to bear coat-armour, is noble whether titled or not. It is only in comparatively recent times that this has been forgotten and the term nobility ex clusively appropriated by the peerage." "Tinctures" or colors displayed seem to have heen a mat ter of taste while the "charges" have a significance, as for instance, the escallop shelJ is bourne by those who have taken part in the crusades. Helmets, before the time of Elizabeth, were of any form with no particular 111eaning, but later by their form, were made to show the rank of the bearer. Helmets of Baronets and Knights were of steel, the visor raised, 1 Hnd they are placed directly facing us. ''affrontee". Other forn1s show Royalty, Lords and esquires. The upp~r one third part of the shield is called the chief and where this is surmounted, it is supposed to have a pe culiar meaning. One old writer declares that "The chief is to be given to those that by their high merits have procured the chief place among men." l\1ost shields display some forn1 of wild animal, bird or 111ythical forn1 and these, some writers clain1, were in many instances, chosen to represent sotne circtttnstance in the life of, or son1e peculiar trait dis_tinguishing the bearer. "The Lyon," says Ferne, is the 111ost worthiest of all beastes; yea he standeth as the king a1nong beastes of the fielde. So that by the Lyon is signified principallitie, domin ion and rule. \\Therefore, the bearing of this beaste was fitly applyed to a kinges progeny: fortitude and magnanimity is denoted by the Lyon." In other days, too, it must be re1ne111hered that surnames were less a distinguishing 1nark than now; that is, while surnames were first being used, different fan1ilies may have been given the same natne fron1 a like circun1stance, so that a -coat of arms was a surer means of distinction than the name itself and has thus been of great yalue to the historian as well as the genealogist in tracing families and events. 12 BURRITT FAMILY First Generation \\TILLIAlVl BURRITT' and his wife, Elizabeth, can1e with their three children from Glatnorganshire, Wales, in an early day, probably sotne tin1e previous to 1635, settling in Con necticut and finally becatne one of the founders of Stratford, Conn., where \Villiam died in 1651. Elizabeth continued to live in Stratford until her death in 1681. She seetns to have been a very capable woman, not only rearing her family in such 1nanner as to take a foretnost place in the con1n1unity, but to have been keen in business as well, adding a considerable property to the estate left by her hus band. As records show, she apportioned considerable real estate to her sons by conveyance dated April 5, 1675, as follows: "To 111y loving and dutiful son John Burritt, of ye said place, an equal half of my whole accon1111odations in Stratford aforesaid,• being ye allottnent and interest of 1ny deceased husband W 111. Burritt, or by procurement of myself and 111y children, excepting only ye ho111e lot and parcel of land at ye Fresh Pond, in ye old field, ye which has already been contracted to Stephen Burritt," one of which contractions being that "ye afvresaid John Burritt should have ye parcal lying on Quin1L/s Neck &c." Stephen Burritt drew lot No. 40 in division of lands and John Burritt No. 84. Her will is dated Sept. 2, 1681, and she probably died soon after. Children of Wiltian1 and Elizabeth Burritt were: 2. i. STE PH EN. 3. ii. JOHN. iii. MARY, married a Mr. Smith. BURRITT FAl\lILY IJ Second Generation 2 STEPHEN, (\Villian1 I) born in Glamorganshire, \Vales, and came to America with his parents as before stated. l\tlarried Nov. 8, 1673. Sarah Nichols, daughter of Isaac Nichols of a prominent Stratford fatnily. One of her sisters 1narried Rev. Joseph \Vebb and another Rev. Israel Chan ney, pastor of Stratford church from 1665 to 1703, who was one of the founders of Yale College and was chosen its first president, but declined the honor. Stephen was in the list of Freemen at Stratford, 8th month, 7th day, 1669, a lot owner 1671 and confinned by · the General Court as Ensign of the Train Ba1id at Stratford in 1672, appointed J_,,ieutenant Jan. li, 1675, and the Council of Stratford, date of Sept. 18, 1675, ordered that "The Dra goons from Fairfield County, being c0111e up, and l'vlajor Robert Treat sending to us to hasten them to their head quarters near Suckquackheeg, it is ordered that accordingly the Dragoons of Fairfield shall forthwith march away up to Norwottag and so to our ar111y, under the conduct of Ensign Stephen Burritt and join thetn in the defense of the planta tions up the river and to kill and destroy all such Indian enemies as should assault the111 on said plantations." Again at a meeting of Council of the Colony held Nov. 23, 1765, Stephen Burritt ,vas appointed Cotnmissary of the Army, so rapidly was he pro111oted. Hinman, the Historian, calls him, "a noted Indian fighter," and he was also a n1an of affairs. At a town 1neeting held Jan. 1, 1673, he was chosen Recorder, and his beautiful and character-like autograph which thereafter frequently appears on the Town Books, n1ay well be the envy of any of his descendants. In 1689 he was appointed on a con11nittee to assess damages for the changing of Black Creek into 1\Hll River, by which one Robert Lane claitned to have been "pam nified". The· satne year he was chosen one of the Townsmen and in 1690 was an auditor of accounts of the 'fown 'T'reasurcr. 14 BURRJTT FAl\lILY He died Jan. 24, 1697, according to the records on an old to1nbstonc stiJl preserved. T'he inventory of his estate, dated l\ifarch 4, 1697, shows a footing of £ l,177-2s which includes £6-6s as the value of his "anns and ammunition." Stephen and Sarah Burritt had eight children, as follows: i. ELIZAIIETII, horn July 1, 1675. 11. \V11.1.1,n1, horn l\larch 29, 1677. Died young. 4. 111. PELEG. born Oct. 5. l 679. 5. 1,·.

If we consider his age and the birth dates of his children, the proven fact that John had only the son Joseph it could hardly have been otherwise. The only alternative would be another Burritt immigrant and we ha,·e never found records of any such. 3 JOHN, (\Villiam 1) horn in Glamorganshire, \Vales, com ing to Connecticut with his parents.

His second wife was Deborah \\Tell es. He was perhaps one of the tnost noted men of his time, a staunch patriot, who carried his gun to his pulpit to he ready for Tory raids during the Revolution. I-le was horn in Stratford, graduated fro111 Yale College in the class of 1765 and was ordained to preach the Gospel Feb. 22, 1768. He was captured by a hand of Tories, taken from his bed without clothing and transported to the notorious Sugar House Prison in New York. In the introduction to his "Sketch of Rev. Blackleach Bur ritt and Related Stratford Fatnilies," Prof. l\L D. Raymond says: "In a secluded spot on the eastern slope of the Green l\1I ountains is the unn1arked grave of a son of Stratford whose natne well deserves to be illustrious in the annals of the County of Fairfield. A man of liberal culture, of tnore than ordinary gifts, a stalwart Patriot in the stormy days of the Revolution, a pioneer preacher of unusual power, of marked individuality and rugged character, of honorable anc\~stry and no less honorable posterity, such a man was Rev. Bh\ck leach Burritt." There was a large fa111ily of children, only the last of which was a daughter of the second wife. Dr. Alice Burritt, of \i\Tashington, D.

All of Eleazer's children hy his first wife were born in New town. except Thomas who was horn in Fairfield\ where Eleazer apparently lived for a short time in 1771 and 1772. The first of his sons to he named Thomas was probably horn and may ha,·e died there. No record of any other children born in Con necticut Ins heen found. He was hack in Kewtown in 1774, and he was included there in the Grand Levy of August 20, 1776~, for 69£-2s.-6d. He also took the Oath of Fidelity on August 25, 1777, and the Freeman's Oath in 1768 there0• Eleazer was a hrother of Anthony who was administrator of his 0 father's cstate • By 1785 Ill' had disposed of practically all of his property in Connecticut. He disappears from Newtown records ahout this time, indicating that he left the state soon after the Re,·olution. It seems reasonnhlv certain that Eleazer came to New York state ahout this time: From the pension records and papers of B U R R I TT F A 1'1 I L Y 29 his son Zalmon•, and his daughter Elizabeth, we learn that both were living in New York, prohahly in Saratoga County, as early as 1781 to 1785. Elizabeth was ~lrs. York in 1819, and Yorks appeared in the Census of 1790 in Saratoga County. It seems very prohahlc that Eleazer and at least two of his children, were there in Saratoga in 1790". He was recorded in the census of 11 1800 • In 1801 in the Surrogate's office in Saratoga County there was recorded the will of one Thomas Smith of the Town of Stillwater, which divided his estate equally among his six daughters, of whom the oldest was Elizabeth, and bequeathing twenl\·~fi,·e dollars "to Grandson Giles Burrit. "10 The census of 1800 ~ecords a Thomas Smith in the Township of Half l\loon, 11 in Saratoga County, with a family of six persons • Again in 1805, there was filed in the same Surrogate's office, a settlement of the estate of Eleazer Burritt of the town of Galway hy his widow Elizaheth12• All these known facts leave little doubt that Eleazer Burritt of Newtown, Conn., and Eleazer Burritt of Galway, N. Y., were one and the same person, and that Elizabeth Smith, daugh ter of Thomas Smith of Stillwater was the second wife of Eleazer and the mother of Thomas ( 1785) and Giles ( 1788). There arc still some things that we do not know that we would like to know pnsitivcly, hut which the poor records of early New York do not reveal. l\luch research by competent genealogists13 supports these conclusions and nothing has heen found to cast douht upon them. Based on this knowledge and research, I have formed the opinions that it is reasonably certain that : Eleazer is descended from Stephen who died in 1698, and Sarah Nichols ( 1674), through Josiah (1681) and Benjamin ( 1708); he lived in New town, Conn., from 1737 to the early 1780s ; he removed to Sara toga County, N. Y., where he married Elizabeth Smith about 1783 or 1784 and she bore him Thomas and Giles ( 1788), and ~lary ( ?) ; he lived and d;~d there in the town of Galway in 1805, leaving only a small amount of property, most of which (·onsistecl of debts owed to him hy others.

Todd's "History of Red ding" states that Elizabeth married Ebenezer, while Bailey says Eleazer. Both accounts came from the same source, viz. the church records of Redding. A com1>etent genealogist (Jacobus) who has investigated the source, l'on cl~1dcs that in this instance, Bailey is right and Todd wrong, the error prob ably being in copying.

She was a descendant of Thomas Fairchild, a wealthy merchant who came to Stratford in 1639. The fa111ily had a coat of arms and a good pedigree. Thomas married for his second wife Katherine Craig of London, in 1662. Their son Joseph was born in 1664 and tnarried Johanna \,Villcoxon, daughter of Titnothy \:\7illcoxon of Str2tford.

Hepzibah's mother was Sarah De Forest, a descendant of the Huguenot De Forests of Avenes, France, according to the De Forest genealogy. Sarah Fairchild, wife of Eben Burritt, was their daughter and was named for this grandmother, Sarah De Forest. · In speaking of the inheritance of fatnily na111es, let n1e note here that following this generation we find the name I .. ewis frequently used as a given name and we may trace it to Hepzibah Lewis, wife of Daniel Fairchild, mother of Sarah Fairchild Burritt.

This shire is not very large, about fifty miles long by thirty broad. It contains some of the grandest scenery and most charming rural estates of England. 'fhis was the sc<:nc qf the escapades of Robin Hood of legendary fa111e. The family name originated from the Sherwood Forest. 'fhomas Sherwood tnarried Alice Seabrook in England. She was born in 1587. Their children were: i-\nn, born 1620; Rose, born 1623; Tho111as, born 1624, and Rebecca, born 1625. Thomas with his wife and children sailed for America on the good ship "Francis" (John Cutting was the master). T'hey c111barked at Ipswich, April 21, 1624, and landed in l\1assa chusetts Colony, Boston, in June of the same year. Thomas Sherwood lived in Fairfield, Conn., and \,Vethers field. He was one of the first settlers of the latter place. His name appears on land records of Fairfield in 1643, and when he came here he brought with him his second wife, Sarah, · whom he married in 1643. They had six more children. Tn his wi11, which was dated June 4, 1657, he left one-fourth of his estate to his ·daughter, Rose, wife of Thomas Rumble, and afterwards wife of Thomas Barlow. I-lis property was very large, so much so that he had five overseers, namely: \Villiatn Blackman, Isaac Nichols, John Birdseye, Henry \,Vakely and John \Veils. He served as deputy with Roger Ludlow in Connecticut General Court, 1650. He died in 1659 at Fairfield, Conn. SEABROOK ROBERT' SEABROOK, father of Alice Seabrook, wife of Thomas Sherwood, was the ancestor in her line first to come to A111erica. He was born in England in 1565 and died in Stratford, Conn., in 1650. He married Alice Goodspeed in England. She was the daughter of Nicholas Goodspeed of Vlengrass, Bucks County, England. They can1e to America in 1624 and settled in Stratford. T'hcir home-lots were 12 B U R R I TT F A ~r I L Y 37 and 13. They had four daughters who were all grown and married before they catne to America. Their husbands he came prominent men in the colony. Alice married 'T'homas Sherwood in England and is our ancestress. Johanna married Lieut. Thomas \Vheelcr in England. Emm married Thomas Fairchild (his first wife). Elizabeth married \Villiam Preston. There were no sons. Descent from Seabrook and Sherwood: Robert Seabrook married Alice c;oodspeed. Alice Seabrook married Th ''T'here was always a cheerful word, a joyous smile and sunshine brightness upon her face. 'She looked well to the ways of her household and ate not the bread of idleness.' " 'Her children rise up and call her blessed.' Yea, the Church and the world around rise up and called her blessed also. "Two of her sons and one daughter, the eldest now 81 years of age, were permitted to be present at the departttre of their loving 111other, to smooth as far as human hands and sympathy could do, her passage to the tomb, and to call her blessed; and blessed will that man or won1an he upon whom her 1nantle shall fall, for, she was a woman that feared God the Lord and such shall be praised. 'And her own works praise her in the gates.' " EBEN BURRI'fl' enlisted as a private in the Revolu tionary Army in 1776 at the age of 14 years.

Among the old deeds still preserved hy members of the family is one showing that in the year 1785, when Ehen was twenty three, his father, \Villiam, uFor the consideration of the Pater nal lo\'e and good-will and affection that I have and do hear unto my well hclo\'ed son Ehen Burritt," deeded ahout cle\'cn acres of land to him, situated near Daniel's farm, also a small plot adJoining his own dwelling house. Another deed dated l\lay 24, 1792, cotweys to Eben's wife Sarah, for the consideration of 18 pounds and 16 shillings, four acres in North Stratford, hounded on the westerly side hy Daniel's farm Hill and on the south h.v \Villiam Burritt's land. In 1806 Eben mo\'ecl his family to a farm in the eastern part of Roxbury, Conn. This farm consisted of sixty-four acres and the deed was signed hy David Hawley, presumably Eben's B U R R I TT F A 1\1 I L Y 39 son-in-Jaw, as executor of the estate of the former owner, James Shelton, of South Huntington, the consideration heing $1615.77. It was located about one-fourt'1 mile north of what was then known as "Castle Street," and "Grassy Hill Road." This continued to he the family home until the death of Ehen, when it was willed to his four sons. Roswell, the youngest, pur chased the interests of his hrothers and lived there during his lifetime. In 188.1 this homestead was sold bv Roswell's two daughters, Sarah Burritt Fenn and Anna ~lariah Burritt, who then moved to Port Byron, N. Y. The farm is the site of a Revolutionary Enmmpment where a brigade of General Nixon's Regiment passed the winter. . i In my possession is a yellowed sheet of paper on which is written in the painstaking hand of my great aunt Catherine B. Sprague, a list of the children of Eben with the dates of birth and death copied fron1 his old fatnily Bible. So did cheerful aunt Kate add her bit to these records. She gave us more in her stories of these, her grandparents, revealing inci dents of their lives and traits of character always w:th an unconcealed pride. Another letter from ?vf rs. Laura E. Camp recounts the story as told by her mother, who was ElizabNh Ann Burritt, first cousin to my great grandfather Lewis. It seems that Lewis and Polly Burritt had sold their farm near Roxbury and were about to leave for western N e-.·v York. The Congregational Church at Roxbury held farewell prayer meetings and, so she said, "sang the most doleful hymns." It perhaps seemed a final parting since she says, "'The trip was made with ox teams into the wilderness where they cleared a site and built a log house. 'I'hey were prosperous and the family added a great deal materially and spiritually to the town of \t\T eedsport." lV[y own memory goes back to the visit of this same Lewis, who was Eben's oldest son, after the death of his wife, to our home in Illinois. Since this was in 1872 T was four years old at the time, hut this memory has always been c1ear to me. L.

There were no children by this union. Garrard married a second time Jan. 17, 1830, Eliza Roxilana (Harrington) Peckhant, widow of Nathaniel Peck ham by whon1 she had: Deborah Harriet, Dec. 12, 1818, and Adeline Amanda, Feb. 19, 1822. Garrad's tnother died when he was five years old and his father re111arried, then when he was eleven his sister Lomira who had mothered him, tnarried and went to Burlington. By consent of his father he was then taken into the home of Levi and Hannah Comstock and they brought him up as their own with their two children, Lucia aged nine, and Levi, Jr., seven. He was ambitious to be a scholar and a successful man and "Aunt T--Iannah" encouraged and helped him. Tn those BURRITT FAMILY 45 days of barter, hooks were hard to come by and one day Aunt Hannah gave hin1 a pair of her old shoes to tear apart and use as a pattern for a new pair. He made the new shoes with great pride, having tanned the leather hi111self, thus learning two good trades. I-I is tanneries later were a source of wealth. Aunt liannah encouraged him to make a box of shoes of different sizes which he sold for good value to a store in a frontier settle111ent and with the money received he bought hooks which he studied, as did other pioneers, by the light of pitch pine knots in the fire-place. He went to school only six weeks in his entire life but he attained an excellent education, liberal, scientific and cul tural. His penmanship was especially fine. He obtained all the information available on agrarian prohlems; studied ro tation of crops and erosion, set out hundreds of fruit trees experitnenting with different kinds. During the years 1800 to 1810 the old Burritt-Comstock brick house was built. 'The bricks being made from the clay found in the hanks of the brook back of the house, hand made and sun baked. Garrad superintended the construc tion of the house and actually built much of it with his own hands. 1-Ie tnarried Lucia Comstock in 1810 and the house was practica1Jy completed at that time. It was a beautiful home, set high. 'l'he double chimneys could be seen from the North and South on the lake and the pilots of the boats used them as a landfall. From the front door was a magnificent view of the l Jake and the Adirondacks and fr0111 the upper windows the Green ?vi ountains could be seen over the rise of land at the East. During the \Var of 1812 Commodore l\ifcDonough built and commanded a fleet on Lake Champlain. He was a guest of Garrad and Lucia. The northwest room on the first floor had not been finished at that time and was tnade ready for his use. liis staff was quartered in the servants' e11 and the buildings surrounding the house yard. Garrad Burritt, his brother Reuben, and his brother-in law, Levi Cmnstock, Jr., were among the volunteers of the )Var of 1812 on a request made for sharp shooters. He also aided Co111111odore ivlcDonough in equipping and provision ing his fleet which Jay at anchor in Quaker Smith Hay. 46 B U R R I TT F A ~I I L Y \Vhen the Flagship L.. awrence was raised fron1 Lake Eric l\ilarch 1836, a walking stick fron1 the officers' cabin was sent to Garrad Burritt in recognition of his services. It had a buck horn head with four plates. The natne plate has been lost but it is supposed to have had the name of the Connnodore. 'l'he other three inscriptions are as follows: "Taken fron1 the Flagship Lawrence, i\l arch 1836." ''Coin. 0. 1-1. Perry's Victory Lake Eric, Sept. 10, 1813." ·•\Ve have n1et the enemy and they are ours." 'T'he cane always carried by Garrad is now in possession of David Burritt .Montgon1ery, his great, great grandson. Garrad was representative from the Town of Shelburne for two years fron1 1823. Posttnaster 1828-1836. Chosen to represent Town of Shelburne in convention to pass on U. S. Constitutional changes proposed by Congress.

ELIZABETH PHELPS BURRITT 1i91-1866 B U R R I TT F A ~I I L Y 51 DESCENDANTS OF GILES BURRITT Giles Burritt was unquestionably a man of deeds rather than of words. 1-Iis nan1c appears only very rarely in writ ten records. Only in old dry census records, in dusty deeds in County.. Clerk's offices and in old wills and records filed in Surrogate's Courts is there to be found any 111ention of him. His achieve111ents were that with his wife, Elizabeth, he reared a family of e1even children on poor land on a hil1top in Rensselaer County about twe1ve miles east of 'Troy; that he moved with all of them across the State to good produc tive land in .Mon roe County in \Vestern N cw York and that he established five of his s~ven boys on other fan1B around him before he died at 66 years of age. Al1 this reqtiired phys ical sta111ina, courage and determination to i111prove his Jot and that of his fa111ily. 'T'he birth and period of growing to manhoo"d. 1788 to 1810, is quite obscure. He seems to have been born in the town of Stil1water or the town of Galway in Saratoga County, N cw York, on Oct. 31, 1788, the son of Eleazer and Elizabeth Stnith Burritt. \Ve know nothing of his boyhood. The only mention of hin1 in any documents, during this pe riod, is in the will of his father-in-law, 'T'ho111as Smith, made in 1800, who left hin1 $25*. I--le had an older brother, Thomas, born in 1785 and a sister ~'fary of whom we know nothing. Tradidon in the fa1nily has it that the father of 'T'homas, Giles and ~,J ary died when they were all quite young and that Giles was ''bound out" to a neighbor or relative - pos sibly Thomas S1nith - but there is no confirtnation of this and as Eleazer died in 1805 and Giles would then have been 17 years old the story seen1s improbable. Eleazer appears to have been a lumberman and to have operated a saw 111ill in western Saratoga County.1 As is so often the case the son seen1s to have adopted the vocation of his father, for the next known fact about Giles is that he was the owner or lcssor2 of rights in land in the town of Grafton ( near Sand Lake) in Rensselaer County on a part of the old *Will of Thomas Smith, dated Dec. 9, 1800, proved and recorded in the Saratoga County Surrogates office, Jan. 12, 1800, in Book l of \Vills at page 89. 1Scttlemcnt of Estate of Eleazer Burritt, Surrogates Records, Saratoga County, .N. Y., Box 003 No. JJ, vol. \V. l. p. 280, 1805. 52 BURR I TT FA ~I IL Y Dutch Patroon Estate of \T anRensselaerwyck. This may have l>ee11 as early as 1810 or 1811, for Giles was 111arricd at Sand Lake in l\hu-ch 1810 and his first child, Bailey, was horn in 181 l. Here he operated a sawmill and hauled lumber and 111illed logs to the 1narket in Troy. He must have raised cattle and wheat also for the l'vlanor Ledger shows that he was J>aJ'i ng rent2 to the estate in wheat and cattle as well as sundries and cash fron1 about 1813 to 1829. A part of this leased land was sold to Joel Hull :1 in 1821 but all of it was not disposed of until 1838, several years after he had moved to ,vest~i-tl New York. In tile meantime on l\1Iarch 15, 1810, (iiles had 111arricd at Sand Lake, New York, Elizabeth Phelps;' daughter of George Phelps of ,vindsor, Conn., and his wife, Evelyn Colby, ,vho settled in Dutchess County, N. Y., early in the 18th Century. Later me111bers of the Phelps family are found in Gal~·ay, Saratoga County, and this is probably where Giles 111et Elizabeth. I-low they came to settle on the hills · nea1·thc headwaters of Poestenkill Creek in the southern part of tl1e town of Grafton about eight miles fro111 Sand Lake villag-e, we do not know. It was here on a farm of about 1 SO acres 011 the southwest slope of a big rolling hill, with a won derful otttlook on this part of the world, that all their eleven childi-c11 were llorn and successfullv reared between 1812 and 1829. [t was a comparatively poot: farming country, well up in the hills ( 1400 feet elevation) and away fron1 the normal flow of travel. ,vhen I visited the place in Septe111 her 1939 all the l>uildings had been burned and only foundation walls and a l11xt1riant sun1ach 1narked the spots where they stood. The la 11d was practically abandoned, but the views were wide ancl eye-filling. It is easy to understand why Giles and Elizabeth and count less others left this unpromising far111ing country and migrated westward. There was hoth a push and a pull away fro111 the hills of Rensselaer County. Rents were high and hard to n1eet (the ledger shows that Giles was behind in his :.!Van Rensselaer Manor Pa11ers, East Ma nor Ledgers, account with Thomas Nichol~, now Samuel Hutton, now Burritt.

Re ror 4 1'heJps fan1ily; a genealogy in two vols. by Phelps & Sen•in. B U R R I TT F A ~I I L Y 53 rents), facts which were leading into the anti-rent wars of the late eighteen-thirties. There was little incentive to re main. At the same tin1e the Erie Canal had just been opened ( 1825) and many I-I udson Valley settlers were 111igrating westward to the areas west of Syracuse 111ade available by the developers of the Phelps & Gorha1n and the Holland Land Purchases which were then rapidly being taken up. Tales of good timber, level productive land and of 1narkets made available by the canal, were the talk of the day. So early in the spring of 1831 Giles set out, possibly with one of his older boys, possibly with a party of neighbors, to explore this western New York country. Reaching Roches ter he started west out the Ridge Road. At Panna Corners, eight miles west, either attracted by the vast stretches of timber below the high Ridge Road, which 1nust have inter ested the lumberman, or to visit friends and neighbors who had preceded hitn, he turned north on the Panna road and stopped at what later catne to be called Burritts Corners. Here he soon acquired the title to his first fann in :Monroe County which becatne the Burritt homestead. In 1833 he went back for the re111ainder of his family, te1nporarily left behind at Sand Lake. Early in that year, driving a team of horses and a team of oxen he transplanted and established his large fa1nily in their new home. \Ve have noted the tendency of Giles as well as his father to move about from Connecticut to Saratoga, to Rensselaer, 1 to 1\ ( on roe Counties, New York. This was, perhaps, charac teristic of the post-revolutionary period and of the period of expansion. Another characteristic of Giles was his love of the land. In all his n1oves his face was always toward new and 1nore land and never toward the cities. This love of the land he sought to perpetuate in his sons. ,vhen they came of age and married he helped establish then1, every one, on the land. 1--Ie early adopted a policy of starting off each son with one thousand dollars, usually already invested in a farm, and a team of horses. This he did for all seven of his bovs, as ,I well as helping the husbands of his daughters to acquire farms. Several of his sons have followed this exatnple. So it came about that when the pioneer died in 1854, the g-reater part of his fa111ily was settled on fanns in11nediately about hitn, mostly on the same road-the Burritt road. Bailey was on the ho111estead, Sylvester across the road, 54 BURRITT FAMILY Stephen, Th0111as and Seelev, Elizabeth, Pollv and l\1lalinda · nearby. Only two went c·lsewherc to fan11-\Villia111 to lVlichigan and Giles, Jr., to l\lissouri. Now our esteemed and respected projenitor lies buried in the Parma Cemetery sur rounded by th,ese same children-only \Villiam is absent and tnany grand-children. \Ve have no record of his thoughts, his desires, his hopes or his disappointtnents; only _of his deeds. He must have had an adventurous, pionee·r spirit; he n1ust have had great energy and determination; he ·n1ust have been a devoted husband and father; he prob ably was otherwise a plain man, att- average farmer. He left no other records of his deeds except his children and his land. It is enough if they carry on with his spirit and his foresight and deterinination. SOME BURRITT GEOGRAPHY All of Giles Burritt's eleven children were born and 111ost of then1 spel)t their childhood in the town of Grafton, Ren esselaer countv.., The homestead' on which (;iles settled about 1910, ,vas located just north of the Grafton-Sand Lake town line on a hill at.elevation about 1400 feet, near the head waters of the Poestenkill Creek about 10 miles due east of Troy. The village and. post office of Sand Lake was about six 111iles south west, in the town of Sand Lake. 'l'he farn1 house and barns, burned several years ago and now 111arked only by stone walls and sumach bushes, were located on the southwest slope near the top of the hill with a wide sweep of view to the west and south and east. Below in th creek valley at elevation about 1250 feet was the saw mill the operation of which and sale of logs and lumber in Troy was Giles' chief occupation, along with farming. The coun try was described as ''mountainous, broken and heavily wooded," with lumbering as the chief industry, and the soil as "indifferent, stoney and uneven," covered with ti111her, "hemlock, heech, and maple, poorly watered." . Re111oving to Parma, 1VJonroe County, New York, in the early 1830's, soon after the opening of the Erie' Canal, Giles reared 10 of his 11 children to 111anhood and womanhood on the Burritt Homestead farm located one mile south of I-Til ton, on the northeast corner of the Burritt road, known as B U R R I TT F A 1\1 I L Y 55 Burritt's corners. He located 111ost of them after marriage on nearby farms on this road, where numbers of their des cendents still live. The town of Parma is the second town west of Rochester in i"1onroe county, New York, Greece being the first. It is about six 1niles long and three to four miles wide and is hounded on the south by the town of Ogden, on the west by the town of Hamlin and on the north by Lake Ontario. About eight miles west of Rochester the Big Ridge road, which marks a former shore line of Lake Ontario and the southern boundary of the level plain extending northward to the Lake, intersects Route 136 extending from Spencer port in the town of Ogden seven n1iles northward to ·Hilton. 'T'he intersection is known as Parma Corners. Three miles north is Parma Center and one mile farther the road crosses the Burritt Road, extending east and west, and· extends an other mile to Hilton and thence four 1niles more to the Lake. Hilton was formerly known as North Parma. l\ilaurice C. Buritt. 57 DR. ANTHONY ll. (Dr. Anthony 35) born July 12, 1810. l\'1arried in 1830 l\larv. Hawlev." Children: i. BENJAMIN A., horn 1839. · ii.

Elihu Burritt was one of the tnost widely known and best loved tnen of his time. He rose fron1 very hutnhle circun1- stances to a position of world renown by his indomitable en ergy and atnbition. His father was a farmer and shoetnaker who raised a large family by close econ01ny and hard labor. \,Vhile a youth Elihu was apprenticed to a blacksmith and worked at the trade until he had tnastered it. He was very fond of reading and spent all his spare time in study which he pursued away into the night using all his spare tnoney for books and borrowing such hooks as he n1ight, often walking 1nany tniles after work to obtain a coveted volume. About the time his apprenticeship was completed his older brother Elijah, who had been sent to College returned to New Brittain and opened a school. He influenced Elihu to leave his trade and enter this school. Later he went to Boston where he could 'have the advantage of libraries and teachers. Here he pursued his studies by himself, working at his trade of blacksmith at intervals to defray his expenses. He was offered help bv friends to enter Harvard College but re-. fused to cotnpromise his indenendencc. It was this spirit of independent thought and action that made him a leader of n1en whose influence was felt in all the nations of the world. Because of his having used his trade to advance himself in BURR ITT FA :\I IL Y 57 ELIHU BURRITT B U R R I T T F A ~I I L Y this way, he has been given the sobriquet of "T'he Learned Blackstnith". He was a noted scholar, linguist, lecturer and reformer; but his greatest influence has been felt through his advocacy of universal world peace. In 1848 he organized the "Brussels Congress of Friends of Peace," which was fol1owed by annual congresses in Paris, Frankfort, London, ivl anchester and Edin borough; and it was his influence through this society that averted war be tween England and A111erica at the time of the northwest boundary clispute. One writer says of him, "His \ 1igorous philanthropy keeps his nan1e green in the history of the peace movetnent apart fron1 the fatne of his learning." l He was Consul at Birming·hatn, Eng-land, fron1 1865 to 1870. Smne of his books are: "Sparks from the Anvil" ( 1848): "Olive Leaves" ( 1853): and "Chips From 1\1Tany Books" ( 1853). It may not be out of place to here append an article which appeared in a newspaper (The Bridgeport Standard of 1\1ay 10, 1912) on the occasion of the celebration of his one hun dredth birthdav held on that date in Bridgeport. BURRITT DAY OBSERVED N C'W Britain Honors Illustrious S011 011 Ce11te11ar_\' of His Birth "Bright skies and halmy spring hreezes this morning ushered in Burritt Day, the biggest and best celebration eYer held in New Britain. All New England through its delegates to the New England Peace Congress which is meeting in Hartford this week and whose session this afternoon and eve ning is in this city in honor of Elihu Burritt, the first apostle of universal peace, joined with New Britain in honoring her most illustrious son on the centenary of his birth. From early morning until the parade started this afternoon the incoming trains and trolley cars were filled with visitors and at one o'clock this after noon one hundred automobiles left Hartford with the delegates to the peace congress. At 2 :30 o'clock, the pilgrimage to the graYe of Elihu Burritt in Fairview Cemetery was begun with the monster parade of school children, fraternal and religious societies and other organizations with floats representing srenes in Burritt's life or symholical of international peace. At the cemetery an international tribute was placed on the grave by repre sentatives of twenty nations. First a woman placed a wreath of flowers on the mound and then a man placed the flag of the country that the wreath giver had represented. Principal l\larcus \Vhite, of the State Normal School presided m·er these exercises and he also spoke briefly. 60 B L; R R I T T F A ~I I L Y This evening in the Russwin Lyceum and in the First Church there will he held mass meetings addressed by Rahhi Stephen \Vise of New York and ex-Governor Utter. of Rhode Island.

Later he turned over this farn1 to Seth I-Iol den, who married his daughter Frances and returt1cd to the old homestead which he owned and occupied until his death in 1892, when it passed to his son, Beverly. Bailey's thrift enabled hin1 to assist each of his children in establishing themselves on good farms. He was a supporter of Genesee \Vesleyan Seminary at Lima, N.

Perhaps most prominent and pleasing an1ong the tnemo ries (*) clinging to the old homestead located at what was locally known as Burritt's Corners, was the annual reunion at Christmas. Often others of the sons and daughters of Grandfather and Grandmother Burritt were there to join in the holiday festivities but l'vlelville and his growing family seldom failed to be on hand. I recall very vividly the trip from our home, sotnetimes hy horse and buggy, tnore often by horse and sleigh. to Grandfather's spacious house. He, Grandfather, Aunt Esther and Cousin Jessie DeLa\1ergnc who lived with Grandfather and Grandmother had provided a full larder of Christmas dainties and had set up the Christ mas tree in the spare bedroom that overlooked all four ap- \proaches to Burritt's Corners. And how vividly I recall (•) From Rcrollcrtions of Bailey's grandson, Olin Howard Burritt. 82 BURRITT FAMILY Grandtnother ju1nping up and down and clapping her hands joyously like a child, though she had already reached her three score years and ten, as she exclaimed, "J-Icre come 1\ilellie's folks. Here they arc!" And l\J ellie's folks stayed for as long a holiday celebration as l\'lellie's duties as a pastor would pennit. Another happy memory is the morning pray ers that followed breakfast as surely as the sun rose. Grandtnother's larder filled with a great variety of well cooked foods was not the only source of goodies. \Vhatever time we visited at Grandmother's there was always fresh fruit available-apples, pears, peaches, plums, gra1;es, ber ries in season and cherries, currants, blackberries, stra wher ries, gooseberries, and an ample supjJly of fresh vegetahles in sununer, for Grandfather's farm and garden were a just source of pride. His reputation as a good farmer was ex celled by none and equalled by few. Before the days of scien tific fanning Bailey Burr.itt understood and applied scientific principles to farming - rotation of crops, keeping always sufficient stock, chiefly horses and cows, to produce ample fertilization of his fields. At regular intervals. Grandfather, Grandmother and Aunt Esther drove the fifteen miles to Rochester to exchange butter and eggs for groceries. These were the days before creameries when butter was made at hmne. Crandfather Burritt• was civic-tninded, too. He was ac tivelv interested in maintaining in the community the hest possible school in the little red school house which was lo cated on a site taken from his farm. And he supported and encouraged the singing schools 111aintained in the school house during the long, dreary winter 1nonths. In the days when the school houses were utilized for religious services, the itinerant preacher and his fan1ily were welcome guests in r;randfather's home whose hospitality they shared. It was one of Grandfather's cardinal principles to support all the regular church services. Only illness kept him from attendance upon the Sunday morning and evening services and the n1id week prayer meeting at the Free ~1 ethoclist Church at Parma Center. He always sat in the front row during the services. Nor did he neglect the Sunday School, which he attended regularly and in which he was a teacher for many years. Bailey Burritt was a pillar of his church BURRITT FAMILY 83 and his pastor never had a more loyal supporter. lW oreover, he lived his religion as all who knew him would testify. It was apparent in all his dealings with his fellow-tnen. 92 \VILLIA?\l 1 (Giles 56), horn Dec. 25, 1812, in Grafton (Sand Lake), N.

Y.; born April 4, 1808, at Ovid, N. ·y_: died Feb. 3, 1889, at Big Rapids. In addition to his early training as a farmer, \,V,il liam, sec ond son of Giles, also learned the coopers trade. He n1ust have had some of his father's adventuresome spirit and de sire to try new country - a characteristic which may have been encouraged by his ambitious wife who was said to have been of southern descent - for he asked his father for the cash instead of the customary thousand dollars worth of land and a team of horses with which Giles sought to set each of his boys up in business, and soon after his marriage (about 1842) he set out for the then frontier wheat raising state of l\,fichigan. Settling on then moderately good land in Lap·eer County in the eastern central part of that state, and being industri ous he soon accumulated some property. It is related by his grand daughter3 that so1neti1ne thereafter, along with his son-in-law and neighbor Orville Compton, he becan1e the victin1 of a clever swindler who sold them stock in a concern alleged to own patent rights for the tnanufacture of a churn. Tn this transaction both \\Tilliam and Orville are said to ha vc lost atl they had. This was a terrible crush ing blow and g..-catly influenced vVilliatn's future. vVith his sole remaining property - a horse, an ox and an old wagon, - he set out westward again to begin life anew. His proud 1 \Villiam and all his family spell their name Burrett. It is spelled so on the tombstones at Big Rapids.

Pet," by which name she was subsequently generally known, inherited frotn her father and grandfather the venturesome spirit which caused then1 to leave home and seek a new home in the west, and which carried her still further west. At the early age of 16 she 111arried a man with the western urge, and soon after set out for Nebraska. 'l'his was in the sixties and during these pioneer years they suffered fron1 cold and hunger. It is re lated by her niece* that on one occasion during a very cold spell, the supply of fuel becan1e exhausted, and Pet decided that young Giles' precious sled would have to be sacrificed, for she said, it would he of tnore use to them as fuel. "I-low long will it keep us warm, tnot her?" asked Giles. "A hout four hours," she replied. "No," said young Cites, "\Ve will die four hours sooner.''

Y. *Cyrus was born on the homest<.•ad farm, where he spent his boyhood days working for his father. This placed him, during his youth in the time of the slavery agitation and Ci\'il \Var in this country. He was too young to enlist in the army of the North, hut it is said that cLring the last year of the war he attempted to enter the service as a drummer hoy. I-Jc earh· wished to become a veterinarian. This desire was discouraged hy his parents and he then secured a position in Phelp's General Store at North Greece, N. Y. In that period merchandise offered for sale was drawn by horse and wag-on from Rochester. The principal medium of excha·nge for merchandise by farmers was butter and eggs. The merchant, in turn, so)d or exchanged them for needed supplies in the general store. 'l"his was Cyrus' job for a few years. Later he learned the harness-maker's trade, which he followed until machine-manufactured harness replaced hand-made. This was about 1900. These early years were devoted to bringing· up four boys and it required all the available ntoney and en ergy to make it possible for the boys to have the necessities of life and a simple education. In 1906 Cyrus tnoved with his family to Ann Arbor, 1\-lich., where he established the Stnith-Burrett Private I-Iospital. At the same titne he beg·an some real estate operations on a small scale. These entet·- . prises were continued until 1923, when hoth Cyrus and his •These notes on Cyrus Adelbert and all his family were prepared by his son, Dr. Cla•1dc, in January, 1940. 122 B U R R I TT FA 1\1 I L Y wife, Ida, retired from active business and moved hack to New York state, locating at Honeoye. It is interesting to note that as soon as they were relieved fron1 the responsibility of bringing up their boys, they hegan to accumulate property and funds made it possible for then1 to retire and still enjoy some of the comforts of life. Cyrus was affectionatc)v known as "Dad" hy a host of friends dur- ing his later yeat:s. · The mother, Tela, was gifted in art and during her lifetime produced a number of cxceJJent paintings, particularly s.cen erv and flowers. At the same time she became skiJJful in cl1ina painting. l\,fany of her rare pieces of china and paint ings arc and have been enjoyed hy her four children. Per haps she showed some of her most valued characteristics after she was seventy years old, when she turned her atten tion to matters of human interest and literary attai11111ent. During those latter years she became intensely interested and active in the Order of the Eastern Star, the women's organization of lVlasonry. Children of Cyrus Adelbert and Ida Burrett: 275. i.

DRAKE The fatnily of P~·:-Lke is of very ancient lineage, the tradi tion being that the natne originated fron1 a noble Rotnan fatnily called "Drago" or the "Dragon" and that a member of the tribe came to England with Julius Caesar at the tin1e of the Rotnan conquest. The Coat-of-anus displays a \i\Tivern, a sort of Dragon on a silver shield. The crest an ann extending a battle-axe. The motto is "Aqualli Non Captat l\'1t1scas," an eagle does not capture flies. The original hon1e of the fan1ily was l\1Iount Drake which had been the site of an early Roman fortress. It was built so1neti1ne in the 14th century and rebuilt perhaps 100 years later. Situated in the county of Devon on a comman,Hng hill and surrounded by about one hundred acres of land. Later the fatnily acquired by marriage, the House of Ashe which afterwards becatne a favorite residence. It was situated in the parish of l\1usbury, county of Devon. 1 JOHN DRAKE, Esq., of l\1Iount Drake and Exmouth, in the county of Devon, "a tnan of great estate and a name of no less antiquity," says Prince in his "\i\T orthies of Devon," 1narried in the titne of Henry \T (1413-22 A. D.) Christiana, daughter and heiress of John Billett of Ashe. By this al liance the estate of Ashe, in the parish of ~1Iusbury, came to the Drake family, and was handed down from father to son for fully 400 years, although the most usual residence was Mount Drake, a tnansion previously built by them in the san1e parish and undoubtedly the original home of the Drakes, they having occupied it before the coming- of \Vi1- lian1 the Conqueror. This John Drake, or, possibly his father was reported in Exn1outh in 1360. , At the death of John, his widow married a second time,' Richard Francheney, thus unlawfu11y excluding from the estate of Ashe her son John Drake (2). She had Christopher B U R R I TT F A ~I I L Y 255 Francheney, who had Richard, who was the father of Sim eon, from whon1 John Drake, (5) by a suit at law, recovered Ashe, which had been so long unjustly withheld from his father, grandfather and great grandfather. 2 JOHN DRAKE, numbered in the hundred of East Bud leigh, Devon. On the marriage of his mother, he settled in Otterton, about sixteen 111iles from Ashe. He married Christiana, daughter and heiress of John Antage, and had: 3 JOHN DRAKE (3) of Ottcrton, who married a daughter of John Crews or Cruwys, representative of Crews nJ orc hard, an ancient saxon family of itnportance, their name oc curring frequently in the old Devonshire rhy111ing legions concerning the Saxon families who were prominent before the coming of \Villiam the Conqueror. This John was suc ceeded by his son: 4 JOHN DRAKE (4), of Otterton, in the county ,,f Devon, Esq., who by his wife Agnes, daughter ?f John Kailway, had: i. JOHN, his heir. 11.

He was a very distinguished person and "employed in .~ev eral great offices at sea," being much 111 favor with Qt11~en Elizabeth, who conferred honor of knighthood upon him. Prince, in his "\Vorthies of Devon" pp. 328-329, says of him: "I find him to descend down to tts under a verv honor ahle character. That he was a gentleman of very ;·arc and excellent acc01nplishments, as we11 as qualified for a soldier and courtier. He was in great favor with tht' illustrious Princess of hnn1ortal memory, Queen Elizaheth. and of high B U R R I T T F A 11 I I 4 Y 257 • ASHE J IOCSE. ?\I CSBCRY.

That Sir· Barnard Drake, a De\'on shire Knight, ca1ne to Newfoundland with a commission, and having divers good ships under his conunand he took many good Portugal ships and brought the111 into England as prizes. · And for his great undertaking this way he is ranked second a1nong the great sea captains of our country in his titne, than whon1 no age before or since can boast a greater." He is said to have ''nobly expended" ... for the honor and safety of his country, in the discovery of foreign countries and such other virtuous achievements as purchase glory and renoun," so as "greatly to have exhausted his es tates." Sir Barnard's last exploit was while England was at war with Spain, when, having been at sea, on his return he took a large Portugal ship, which had for a long time been hovering up and down the coast and brought her into the harbor of Dartsmouth, which action, "how brave soever it might be, proved fatal to hitnself and many other persons of quality." The story is that these Portuguese sea1nen were brought to trial f~r piraacy and that Sir Barnard together with other 1nagistrates sat on the bench. Suddenly there arose such a noxious odor in the court room that everyone was obliged to leave inunediately and all were stricke11 with a most ter rible illness fr01n which not one recovered. If the story was sotnewhat overdrawn, it is probable tlrnt there was son1e sort of plague, perhaps cholera, on the ship and that it proved quickly fatal to these Englishtnen. He died in the house of Ashe April 10, and was buried April 12, 1586, in the parh:h of lVI usbury, county Devon, where his 1nonu1nent, beari·.1g his effigy still stands, on which is the following inscription: HEER IS THE l\lONVl\lENT OF Sr BARNARD DRAKE Kt \VHO HAD TO \VIFE DAl\lE GARTHRVDE THE DAVGHTER OF BARTHOLOME\V FORTESCVE OF FILLY ESQr BY \VI-101\1 HE HAD THREE SONNES AND THREE DAVGHTERS \VHERE OF \VEARE FIVE LIVING AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH.

DRAKE First Generation THOlvlAS DRAKE was born in Colyton, county Devon, England, where the parish register still shows the record of his baptism on Sept. 13, 1635. He was the youngest son of \Villiatn Drake Esq. of Yardhury in Colyton. Thotnas Drake, his father and moth~r being both dead, followed his relative, John Drake of Taunton, l"1ass., and \i\Tindsor, Conn., to America about 1653-4. He was accom panied by his sisters Joan, who 1narried Thomas Randall, and Elizabeth, who married Ezekial Hamlin of Boston, Aug. 8, 1654. Thotnas Drake soon settled in \i\T eymouth, l\Tass., his na1ne first appearing on the records of that town in a list of property owners in 1663, in which he is described as owning "Lot 70 containing six acres in 1st division begininge on Brauntry Lyne" and eighteen acres, Lot 33 in second divi sion. Prior to that, the latest list of land owners noted was that of Nov. 26, 1651, in which his name does not appear; hence he settled in \,\T ey1nouth after 1651 and before 1663. The frequency with which his name appears on the land deeds and war records of the ti1ne shows that Thomas Drake took active part in the affairs of the town. His name appears as witness of Deeds D~c. 15, 1664, and three years later he was a member of the Suffolk Troopers. He took active part in King Philip's war, and June 24, 1676, was a me1nher of the garrison at Punckapouge where he saw at least two months service. Plyn1outh county deeds record large purchases of land by hi111 on July 20, 1682, near the Taunton river in Freetown, half of which land he sold June 12, 1688, to Ralph Paine of Rhode Island. He died in W cymouth 1691, and his estate settled in 1692 valued at £237-2s-2d., a considerable sum at that tin1e. Thomas was twice 111arried, his first wife being Jane Hol- 262 ll UR R I TT FA :\1 I LY brook. daughter of 'l'hotnas and Jane 1-Iolbrook of \ Vey tnouth.

LIVINGSTON 'T'he fatnily name of Livingston is derived from an I-I un garian J,rentleman of the natne of Livingius. who accom nanied Marg-aret. sister of Edgar Atheting, and wife of King 1\,f alcon1e Cantnore, from her native countrv to Scotland about the time of the Norman Conquest, 1066. llURRITT FAMILY 267 In the reign of David the First of Scotland ( 1124-1153), says tradition, Livingius received grants of land in \,Vest Lothian which was created a barony and named after the proprietor, Livingius' Town, later Livingston. This estate was transmitted through the descendents for nearly four hundred years, when in the reign of James I ( 1488-1513) Bartholomew Livingston, dying without heirs, the direct line became extinct. A co-lateral branch, however, in the meantime acquired wealth and consequence and it is from this line that the Earls of Linlithgow in Scotland and the Livingstons in America are descended. In the reign of Dadd II ( 1329-1370), Sir \Villiam l...iving ston, knight, marrying Christiana, daughter of Patrick de Calender, in the county of Sterling i-t."ceived the barony of Calender with her. His grandson, John, had Alexander, his heir; Robert, the ancestor of the Earl of Newburg; and \Vil- 1iam, progenitor of \Tiscounts of Kilsyth. Sir Alexander, eldest son of John above, was, in 1437, on the death of James I of Scotland, appointed regent with Crichton during the n1inority of James II. Not long after, his property was confiscated and his son brought to the block. His other son, Ja111es, who succeeded to the barony of Calender, was created Loni of Livingston. I-le died in 1467. The lordship appears to have been one of the n1ore i111por tant baronies. \Vil1ia111, the great-grandson of this James, Lord Livingston, 111arried Agnes, sister or daughter of Sir Patrick Hepburn. Alexander, their oldest son, succeeded to the title. It was his daughter who was one of the "four i1aries" that accompanied the Scottish Queen l\Jary to the French Court. (See ~1lrs. Jameson's "Celebrated Feminine Sovereigns"). "Last night the Queen had four iJaries Tonight she'll have but three; There was l'vlary Seaton, i,[ary Beaton, And i,rary Livingston and me." Alexander was created Earl of Linlithgow in 1600. J-Iis second son was created Earl of Calender, who was also men tioned afterward in the title. These Earls distinguished thetnsclves through five generations, more than a century, hv., attachtnent to the throne and the house of Stuart. In 1715 268 B U R R I T T F A ~I I L Y the Earl of Linlithgow joined the Earl of ?vf ar. On the failure of that nobleman's enterprise, the former's title and estates were confiscated. The earldom was never returned as were son1e others. T'he heir to whom it was last offered declined "the barren honor." From this anciont family of Scotland the American Liv ingstons originated. Origin of American Line Robert, second son of Lord \Villian1 and Agnes (Hepburn) Livingston, was killed at the battle of Pinkie Field in ·1547_ He is ·called the ancestor of the American Livingstons. John Livingston, his grandson, or perhaps his great grand son was the parent nf Robert Livingston who was the first of the name to come to America. This John was a minister, and was born in 1\'Tonybrook in Sterling-shire, June 21, 1603. I-Ie 111arried 1635 Barbara Flem ing, daughter of Bartholomew Fleming, a merchant of Edin burgh. In 1630, while chaplain t-'"' the Countess of \.Vigtonn, he delivered at the Church of Shot·ts a sermon the eloquence of which produced an extraordinary effect. Shortlv after, he was called to the church of Killinchie, Ireland. ·1-Iere he was harrassed on account of his non-con formity, and having a desire for liberty of religious thought, he embarked for ?vlassachusetts Bay. His ship was driven back by adverse winds and he abandoned the attempt. In 1638 he was settled at Stren-cawer, Scotland. In 1658 he was one of the Commissioners sent to Breda, I-I olland, by the Scottish Church to trea·t with Charles I I. J n 1663, at the restoration, after refusing to take the oath of allegiance, he was banished and going o I-Iolland, became pastor of the Scottish church at Rotterdam, where he spent the last days of his life; dying in 1672. 1 Robert Livingston, son of the Reverend John (1603-1672) was horn Dec. 13, 1654, at Ancrum, Roxbt~rgshirc, Scotland, where his father had been prca,~hing·. I-Jc went to Holland with his parents and was a pupil of his father fot· the greater part of his education. I-Jere he natttr:\IJY became conversant ·with the Dutch language and customs. At the ag·e of cig·htecn BURRITT ·FAMILY 269 Robert was left hr the death of his father to decide his own future and influe11ced somewhat by his father's desire to go to the new country, he decided to go to America. U111ike his father, he is thought to have been more influenced by the hope for good business opportunities than for religious free dom. He 111ade good use of these opportunities. In 1673 he came to America and acquired land near what is now Al bany, ultimately approximating 160,000 acres. This tract of land lying on the east side of the river in what is now Duchess County, N. Y. 'T'his tract was secured to the Livingston family by Gov. Httntcr in 1715, and was divided bv will of the first Robert between two of his sons, Philip an~l ~::>bert, the eldest son, John, having died before the death of' his father. Philip, the second son, became the Lord of the l\Janor. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to break up the estate, both by encroachments fron1 the state of llassachu setts and bv other attacks on the validity of the title. 'fhe law of entail ~as abolished by the Revolu.tion, and as a conse quence the extensive estate was divided fairly by the third Lord, Robert, among his heirs. Owing to continued disturb ances, the proprietors finally, in 1844, sold the land to the tenants. Robert Livingston married in 1697, Alida Schuyler, daugh ter of Philip Schuyler, and widow of the Rev. Xicholas Van Renssalaer. Children: 1.

In the year 1690, the N cw York and New England colonies united their forces against Canada, fro111 which French and Indians had issued and destroyed Schenectady, Feb. 8, 1690. General \Vinthrop, in command of the land forces, with the rank of con1111ander-in-chief, 111arched to Lake Cha111- plain, but Indian auxiliaries failing, could go no further. Pro visions were scarce and he was obliged to retreat to Albany for subsistence. The fleet was no less unfortunate, sailed too late, and found Quebec too strong for them. 'I'hcy returned home and the expedition was a failure. The gover11111ent of New York, greatly exasperated, at tributed the failure to Gen. \Vinthrop, had him arrested and it was only by the adventurous friendship of the l\1lohawks under his com111and that he was freed. \Vinthrop's reputa tion in Connecticut was not diminished, the Legislature ap proving of his every act, and as we know, he later became Governor of that Colony. John Livingston continued to live at the \Vinthrop home and married lVf ary, only daughter of Gen. \Vinthrop. I-le was one of the four first purchasers of l\ilohcgan Reservation from the Indians. This tract of land lav in Korth Parish, New London. Here he had his countrv" estate and continued to make his home, marrying as h(i;; second wife, Elizaheth Knight.
