PREFACE.

The result of our labors for the past two years is included in this volume and ready for your inspection. It is not the design of this work to carry out the female branches of the family further than the second or third generation. Unwearied pains have been taken to be correct in all state­ ments and details. If we have erred it has not been for want of industry or an endeavor to give statements which we believed to be correct. Such as it is, it is now before you, and we ask our readers to judge leniently, and bear in mind that it has been a labor of love rather than one of profit. We expect to acquire neither fame nor fortune by it, but instead to incur many criticisms, whether deserved or not. The work of compiling this genealogy has been no easy task, which will be readily understood by those who are familiar with genealogical work and know what the obstacles are which one has to encounter in tracing the various lines of descent, where family records are non-existent and· the infor­ mation desired must be obtained as best we can from Church, Town, Probate and Land records, many of them very incomplete, and in many cases imperfectly kept; in others they have been destroyed by fire, rendering the research both tedious and expensive. It also becomes necessary to make search in hundreds of volumes of historical works and other genealogies, finding here a little and there a little, until we are able to make connecting links and fill out the record. If the records of the First Church at Hartford, which was organized in 1636, were not missing prior to 1682, we might have been able to give a more complete record of our ancestor, iii !V PREFACE.

Joseph Easton and his family, who were prominent members of that Church. After two or three generations the descend­ ants begin to scatter, and succeeding generations grow up knowing little or nothing of their kindred, who are scattered in other parts of the country until they are entirely lost sight of to each other, resulting in the fact that they have no records of their ancestry further back than their grandfather. Such has been the case in our own family, till different branches have been lost to view more than a century and have been discovered and their identity traced only by laborious research. Some descendants of several families of our ancestor are ~upposed to still exist, the parents of whom left their old homes more than a century ago, leaving no trace behind. Among the obstacles to be encountered by the genealogist are the indifference and suspicions of some of his own kindred. He obtains the address of some kinsman who he believes may feel some interest in his family history and addresses to him a letter of inquiry, enclosing postage stamps for a return answer. Scores of such letters never meet with the least attention and are never heard from, although known to have been received, as the return card would insure their return were it otherwise. Others remain weeks and months without attention, holding the genealogist in suspense, not knowing whether he may expect to receive the record or not; in the meantime holding pages and numbers open at a great inconvenience and delay, for every individual must have a proper number in rotation, and in the generation where he belongs. In other cases respondents to letters indicate a suspicion of some speculation at their expense, although not asked to contribute one cent, and scores of letters are returned unclaimed. The foregoing remarks should not be construed as applying to correspondents in general, only to give a general idea of the trials and tribulations of a genealogist. The greater number have responded quickly to our letters, furnishing and obtaining family records for us, expressing an interest in the work and an PREFACE. V anxiety to assist in rendering efficient aid, for which they have our thanks. To enumerate them all would require a long list. We are under special obligations to James Easton, of Otisville, N. Y.; Jason C. Easton, of La Crosse, Wis.; Frederick S. Easton, of Lowville, N. Y.; William S. Easton, of Kansas City, Mo.; Robert E. Easton, Berkeley, Cal.; Carroll F. Easton, Aberdeen, South Dakota; Augustus B. Easton, Stillwater, Minn.; Gilbert R. Easton, Lowville, N. Y.; Prof. M. W. Easton, Philadelphia, Pa.; and Miss Ettie Cleland, Cassadaga, N . Y. Some may ask, '' What good does it do to rake up these old records?'' We respond: '' What good does it do to erect a monument to the name of your relatives or friends?'' To die and be forgotten by all your friends is a thought repugnant to the heart of every one possessed of human instincts. A history of the family is to the family what a history of the State is to its inhabitants, and if properly written should prove a piece of valuable literature. It is a source of regret that the work of the writer could not have fallen into more able and younger hands, but if we have succeeded in rescuing from oblivion the history of our family, or have contributed to awaken an interest in the subject, our object has been accomplished. WM. S. EASTON. St. Pazil, Minn., March 30, 1899. HISTORICAL..

The New England pilgrims were Puritans and Non-Con­ formists, who came to this country for the purpose of seeking religious liberty and freedom. They had endured hardships and per~ecution, owing to the severity of Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury, in his hatred of heretics. The Colony of which our ancestor was a member came to this country as an organized body and was known as the Hooker colony, settling first at Newtown, (now Cambridge,) Mass., arriving there during the years 1632-3. It was composed of persons who had become attached to the religious principles as taught by the Rev. Thomas Hooker in England, who arrived in this country to become their pastor, Sept. 4, 1633, on the ship "Griffin," with some 200 other passengers, the names of these not obtainable; our ancestor may have been one of them. The first official record we find of him is in the Colonial Records of Massachusetts, which stated that March 4, 1634, he took the oath as a freeman. On May 3 1, 1636, the colonists, after due consideration, started on their exodus to Connecticut, where the previous year a delegation had gone to procure a location and purchase land from the Indians. Our ancestor, as one of the original proprietors, owned shares in what might be called in this day a syndicate. The journey was an arduous and perilous one of about one hundred miles through the wilderness, and about two week's duration from Cambridge to Hartford. Trumbull, in his history, says that it was a picturesque pilgrimage. Men and women of refinement and delicate breeding turned explorers of primitive forests in search of a wilderness home. The lowing of 160 head of cattle sounded through the forests; the bleating vi HISTORICAL. Vll of sheep and the squealing of swine summoned them to each morning's advance. They came under the guidance of men of pure and fervent piety, of elevated social position and learning in their own country, of large estates and large hearts. They were all men of religious principles at a period when to hold religious opinions cost something, even banishment from home and imprisonment. Once here, each seemed to find his appropriate sphere of usefulness, and all conspired together with one mind and one heart to convert the wilderness into the happy home of civilized man, and as the crowning glory of such homes there were among them women of education, prudence and piety, fit to be the wives of such men and mothers of a noble race. We find in the records of Hartford, that Deacon Joseph Easton was chosen chimney viewer in 1649, surveyor of high­ ways 1652 and 1656, and constable in 1658.

THE CEMETERY.

In the old cemetery in Hartford, Conn., located in the rear of the First Congregational Church, on Main street, repose together most of the first settlers of Hartford. Our ancestor must have been buried there; but although careful search has been made, we have been unable to find any single stone to his memory ~lthough it was the only burial place at the 7 time of his death, thereby depriving us of obtaining any information from that quarter. The tombstones of that time were many of them of a poor quality of stone, and owing to dampness in the cemetery have disintegrated and fallen to pieces. In the center of the cemetery is a venerable granite monument, erected about sixty-three years ago to the memory Vlll THE CEMETERY. of the "Founders of Hartford," and bearing the following names:

FAMILY CONNECTION ABROAD.

It is natural for a person of common intelligence to have a desire to know something of his ancestry. An honorable ancestry is a source of honorable pride. F A'.\HL Y CONNECTION ABROAD. lX

It is ''evident from various English records that the Easton family vvas one of considerable prominence and standing in the old cot·l\ntry. From what part of England our ancestor came we ha,ve been unable to ascertain. With this in our possession. we n~1ight have been able to trace back his ancestry across the ocea 'n without much trouble. Failing, therefore, in this, we mu·~.st look for a clue in the parish registers of England. This is Ha task beyond our limited resources to undertake, requiring dJie employment of a professional genealogist there, at a large er xpenditure of money; and this is not always attended with · satisfactory results. \Ve have to a limited extent, by correspondence with the rectors of several churches, endeavored to ascertain the locality from which he came, but have been unsuccessful. We have also made a careful research of the English histories and genealogical publicatioi:s, to obtain information \especting the Easton family. The name Easton or Eston ( as it was sometimes written) appears in several of the counties of England, and we will give some quotations from English records of what we have found; not that we can make any connection with any of them, but we give them for the consideration of our readers. In the '' General Armory of England and Ireland,'' by Sir Bernard Burke, is given the arms and crest of the Easton family as follows, viz: "Easton of Easton, County Devon, Per chev. gu. and or. three sea dragons ducally crowned, counterchanged. (Another as dragons sans wings.) Crest, a yew tree, ppr.'' Fairbairn, in his "Crests of Great Britain," gives two crests of the family: "Easton, of Devon (Eng.), a yew tree ppr. Easton (Scotch), a demi chevalier in armour brandishing a sword, ppr.'' In the visitation of the County of Devon, England, in the year r 564, by the Harleian Society, for obtaining a list of the gentry of that county, we find the arms of the family given and the pedigree of Edward Easton, which we give.

In vol. 3, page 3 I 4, of the '' Genealogist:'' '' Charles Wren, of Feltwell in Norfolk, and also of Ely, (son of Rt. Rev. Matthew Wren, first Bishop of Hereford, afterwards of Norwich and last of Ely), married Dorothy, daughter of -- Easton, in Norfolk.'' We are informed by a member of the Easton family that there is a tradition that the family was at an early day verr closely connected with the royal family, and we are in receipt of the following pedigree, which we will give just as we received it, which appears to confirm the tradition.

She died soon after her marriage, and left no children. She was heiress to the earldoms of Albermarle and Devon. After the death of this last Aveline, John Eston 2d claimed the title of Earl Albermarle. This was about the year r270. He was bought off by land in Thornton. -XU NUl'vIBERING EXPLAINED.

\Vhether there is any connection between these Estons and the family of Edward Easton in the Devon visitation, we do not know. Neither do we know that there is any proof of our connection with this family, but it is the earliest mention of an Easton family that we have found.

NUMBERING EXPLAINED.

In this work the object has been to make the system of numbering as simple as possible. Each person who is mentioned more than once has his own particular number. The index gives the page on which a name first appears. As an example we will take the name of Agis Easton. On turning to Index No. I, we find that it refers to page 39, where we find his name, and at the left of it is the number 69, which is his family number and is afterwards indicated by large figures placed in the center of a page. By turning the leaves forward until we find this number 69, in the center of the page (which is on page 56), we there find his family record. It states that his eldest child was Elizabeth, and the number 142 appears at the left of her name. Now turn forward again until you find this number in the center of the page (which is on page 94), and there you will find her family record, which states that she was the daughter of Agis ( 69), th us referring back to her father's number. Now by turning back to this number (in center of the page), we find that Agis was the son Daniel (43), who was the son of Silas ( 30), the son of Timothy ( I 8), etc. By using the numbers in brackets the ancestry is traced easily. The small exponent figures above and at the right of names in italics indicate the generation and line of descent. Abbreviations used: b. for born. m. for married. d. for died. ch. for child or children. DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON.

Joseph Easton, the emigrant, was born in England about 1602, and came to New England probably in 1633 or '34. He settled first at Newtowne, afterwards called Cambridge, Mass. We find in the Proprietors' Record of that town, page 33, an entry of land owned by him, of which we give a copy: "Joseph Easton, in Westend aboute two Ackers, John Barnard fouth eaft, Robt. Day north eaft, James Auftin north weft, the highway to Watertowne fouth & weft '' Also that on March 4, 1634, he was listed as a freeman, having taken the oath entitling him to vote. In the spring of 1636 he was one of the colony under the leadership of Rev. Thomas Hooker, that removed from Cam­ bridge and founded the present city of Hartford, Conn., and was one of the original proprietors of that town. His home lot in r 639 was on the south side of the highway ( now Elm street) near the west end. He held the office of deacon of the first church, that office in those days being one of great dignity and honor. He d. in Hartford, August 19, 1688, aged 86. His children were- r JOHN. 2 JOSEPH, d. Dec. 30, r711; m. Hannah Ensign. 3 MARY. SARAH, m. Richard Shirley; he d. in 1711.

Memoranda. After diligent search we have been unable to ascertain who was the wife of Joseph Easton. Historians have given it that it was Hannah Ensign, the danghter of James Ensign, but we must disagree with them in this matter. It (r) 2 DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON. will be seen by an examination of the land, probate and church records, from which we give extracts, under the family record of his son Joseph, that it was the son who married Hannah Ensign, and not the father. Also that Joseph Easton Sr. and James Ensign appear from the best information we can obtain to have been persons of about the same age, and further, their children appear to have been of about the same ages. Joseph Easton Sr. had two daughters, Sarah and Mary, and our conclusion is that the name of his wife was Sarah or Mary. The same conincidence occurs in the names of Sarah and Mary, daughters of his son John, who would be likely to name one after his mother. Again, Joseph Easton Jr. named his first daughter Hannah, and the church record states that Hannah, daughter of Hannah Easton, was baptized Sept. 9, 1673, also that Elizabeth was baptized May 12, 1676. These were children of Joseph Easton Jr., and show conclu­ sively that the name of the wife of Joseph Easton Jr. was Hannah. For further confirmation see extracts from land records, memoranda Joseph Easton Jr. We quote the following from the land records:

We will give here abstracts from the will of James Ensign, father in law of Joseph Easton. Previous to his decease (which occurred Nov. 1670) Mr. Ensign had by deed of gift conveyed to Joseph Easton Jr., his son in law, several tracts of land. The will was admitted to Probate 1771, and after his bequest to his son David, it states: "I do also give to my son Joseph Easton and to his heirs forever one acre and half of land in the Indian ground, which land I had of the widow Watts. "I give to my son Joseph Easton the remainder of Goodman Phillips, his swamp Iott on the east side of the Great River, with two thirds parts of the Barn standing thereon, he paying such legacies as 1 shall appoint to the value of Thirty pounds." An abstract from the wil\ of Sarah Ensign, widow of James Ensign, who d. May, 1676. states: '· I give to my beloved daughter Sarah Smith," '' l give to my dear daughter Hannah Eastern," "To my Grand children, Ruth Rockwell, Sarah Rockwell, Lydia Rockwell," "I give to my son David's children, to Joseph Easton her grand child 20 pounds, to James Ensign, 5 pounds, if the estate will bear it." VJhile it appears that Joseph Easton Jr. was deacon of the First Church, it also appears th~t his wife Hannah had her children baptized in the South or Second Church, of which her father and mother were members.

Here we have very convincing proof that not Joseph 1 Easton the emigrant but Joseph2 Easton his son married Hannah Ensign, and that the writer of the Memorial Hist. of Hartford Co. was not correct.

Memoranda. We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. James S. Savage, Lowell, Mass., in which he states; "I purchased a desk which was doubtless owned by Capt. John Easton, in which were found a number of papers, bearing date from 1740 to 1774.

He joined the Church there by letter in May, 1764, and was chosen deacon the next September. He was a builder, also kept a store and tavern. He was from the first a promi­ nent citizen, taking an active part in all public affairs concerning the welfare of the people. As Colonel of a regiment of Berkshire county militia, he was an DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON. 29

active participant in the stirring events prior to and during the early years of the American Revolution for independence. Upon the outbreak of hostilities, plans for the capture of Ticonderoga were at once rife in the secret councils, not only of Massachusetts, but also of Connecticut. To the latter belongs the honor of initiating and organizing the expedition which successfully executed the plans. The expedition being a secret one, it became necessary to obtain funds for the expenses. This was un­ dertaken by Col. Samuel H. Parsons and five other gentlemen, who, in Hartford, Conn., procured from the Colonial treasury £300 on their personal obligations, with which they started north, halting at Pittsfield, where they were joined by Col. James Easton, with about fifty of his men and Major Brown. They proceeded on to Vermont, where they were joined by Col. Ethan Allen with about 100 of his men (he being Col. of a regiment of Green Mountain boys). As Col. Allen (by historians) has been given the full credit of the capture of Ticonderoga, it might be proper to here state that Col. Allen and Col. Easton were warm personal friends, both having been residents of Litchfield county, Conn., at the same time, and that in selecting officers to comman.d the expe­ dition, they were selected according to the number of men furnished by each. Col. Allen rst, Col. Easton 2d and Seth Warner 3d, there being but a small number from Connecticut. Col. Allen in his report to Congress writes: ·· The soldiers were composed of about roo Green Mountain boys and nearly fifty veteran soldiers of the Massachusetts Bay. The latter were commanded by Col. James Easton, who behaved with great zeal and fortitude, not only in council but in the assault, "The soldiers behaved with such resistless fury that they so terrified the king's troops that they durst not fire on their assailants, and our soldiers were agreeably disappointed. The soldiers behaved with uncommon rancor when they leaped into the fort, and it must be confessed that the Col. has greatly contributed to the taking of that fortress as well as John Brown, who was per­ sonally in the attack." Col. Easton was sent to announce the capture to the Provincial Congress, where he was received and introduced to the floor of that body to which he was accredited, that he might give the details of the capture. After listening to Col.-Easton the congress at Cambridge passed suitable resolutions, with which he was dispatched to Hartford, where he was again received with enthusiasm and handsomely entertained by the Connecticut authorities. Col. Easton also commanded a regiment in the expedition against Canada, under Gen. Montgomery. Col. Easton retired from active service in the field soon after the Canada expedition, although continuing to use his influence at home for the benefit of his country, He had four sons in the army, viz.: Joseph, Lieut.

From the historical record of Vermont we find that Bildad Easton was a resident of Westminster, or its vicinity, in 1775, and achieved considerable notoriety as deputy sheriff, for the part he took in the controversy between the officials of the State of New York and those of the New Hampshire grants. The territory between Lake Champlain on the west and the Connecticut river on the east, and extending from the Massachusetts line northward to the DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON. 35

Canada territory, was claimed alike by the government of New Hampshire and New York, a fact which led to a fierce and long contested struggle between the settlers and Gov. Tryon of the latter province. This culminated May 15, 1775, at Westminster, in an open conflict between the settlers and the officers who were acting under the authority of Gov. Tryon. Bildad Easton, as deputy sheriff, being one of the number. On that day a court was to be held, and the settlers took possession of the court house, determined that no court should be held. Thereupon the sheriff with a large number of armed men at­ tempted to drive tbe seti\ers from the court house, firing upon them, killing one man and wounding several others. The settlers then dispersed, sending messengers through the country, and soon assembled a large force of men, over­ powering the officers and their associates, arresting thirty-six of them. They were tried in court, pleading not guilty and that they were acting under authority of Gov. Tryon. Eight of them were fined; some £50, some £25, some £20, others £10; among the latter number was Bildad Easton. Owing to his noted tory proclivities and the part be took in the Westminster affair he obtained the name of" that notorious Bildad Easton."

Samuel B. Webb's Regiment of Additional Infantry; corporal, Sept., 1778; promoted sergeant, March 22, 1781. The ancestry of Ann Denison, wife of Samuel Easton, was Thomas, Daniel, George, John and Capt. George Denison. Capt. George Denison was born in England in 1618. He came to America in 1631, with his father, William, and two brothers, and settled at Roxbury, Mass. In 1640 he married Bridget Thompson, of Stonington, by whom he had two daughters. Upon her death in 1643, Capt. Denison returned to England and engaged in the civil war which was then going on there, served under Cromwell in the army of the Parliament, won distinction, was wounded at DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON. 45

Naseby, taken to the home of Mr. John Borodil, of Cork, a gentleman of wealth, who had an only daughter, Ann Borodil, who became a ministering angel to him in his critical condition. He recovered and persuaded her to J1Jarry him, and to share his fortunes in the new world. They were married in 1645; she was 30 years of age and he 27. He returned to Roxbury and settled at Stonington, Conn., in 1654. Capt. George Denison d. in Hartford, Oct. 23, 1694, while in attendance on the General Assembly. His widow d. Sept. 26, 1712, age 97. Capt. George Denison was representative from Stonington to the General Assembly for fifteen years. Capt. George and Ann had seven chil­ dren; John, George, William, Ann, Margaret, Borodil and Mary. They were remarkable for both magnificent and personal appearance and for force of mind and character. She was always called Lady Ann. They held a foremost place in Stonington. He has been described as the Miles Standish of the settlement, bnt he was a greater and more brilliant soldier than Miles Standish. He had no equal in any of the colonies for conducting a war against the Indians, excepting perhaps, Capt. John Mason. He was a natural military leader, and, though holding the rank of captain. he often commanded expeditions against the Indians, and was always most suc­ cessful when commander-in-chief. He participated in the Swamp fight against the Narragansets, at the capture of the chief Cannochet, who was taken to Stonington and shot. Miss Calkins, in her history of New London County, says of him: "Our early history presents no character of a bolder and more active spirit than Capt. George Denison; he reminds us of the border men of Scotland. In emer­ gencies he was always in demand, and was almost constantly placed in important public positions. 52

Memoranda. Rufus Easton was born May 4, 1774, in Washington, Litchfield County, Conn., receiving a go'.)d education before entering upon the study of law. In February, 1791, he became a student in the office of the Hon. Ephraim Kirby, a prominent lawyer of Litchfield, Conn., and remained with him for two years, completing his studies elsewhere. In 1798, we find him in Rome, Oneida County, N. Y., where he was practicing his profession. The county of Oneida had just been organized as a county from a portion of Herkimer. At the first Term of the Oneida Common Pleas and General Sessions of Oneida Co., held at the school house near Fort Stanwix, on the first Tuesday in May, 1798, Judge Sanger presiding, a rule was adopted, that all attorneys who had been admitted as such to the Herkimer Common Pleas be allowed to practice in this Court upon taking the oath of Office. The name of Rufus Easton appears to have been one of the number that took it. In the History of Oneida Co., we find that in November, r8oI, that Hon. Rufus Easton, with thirteen other prominent men, held a banquet at Whitesboro to celebrate the election of Thomas Jefferson as President. The banqueters had procured a cannon for the celebration, but when they were ready to use it, they found that some evil disposed person had spiked it. Mr. Easton soon became known as a promising young lawyer, and attracted the attention of the leading men of the country, and was consulted regarding Federal app0intments in Western New York.

Mr. Easton spent the winter of 1803 and 4 in Washington, while there he determined to remove to New Orleans and left for that purpose early in March. He did not, however, visit that place but located at Vincennes, Ind., where he remained but a short time, removing the same year to St. Louis, which became his permanent residence. In March, 1805, he was appointed by Mr. Jefferson judge of the Territory of Louisana, and the first postmaster of St. Louis. In 1814, Judge Easton was elected a delegate to Congress from the Territory of Missouri and served for four years. In 1821, upon the organization of the State government he was appointed Attorney General of the State and continued in that office until 1826. ] . Thomas Scharf in the history of St. Louis Co., says: '' The man whose advent in St. Louis in 1804 was probably of the greatest importance to the community and State, was Rufus Easton, one of the most profound lawyers of that brilliant era, when such luminaries as Geyer, the Bartons, Gamble, Spaulding, Allen, Lawless, Bates and Leonard, were leaving their impress upon the laws, statutes and institutions of Missouri. The fame of these men filled the State and any one of them would have held a place in the front rank of any professional brotherhood." Edward Bates, Attorney General under the administration of President Abraham Lincoln, read law in the office of Judge Easton. Judge Easton owned the ground upon which the present city of Alton, Ills., is situated, which was named after his son Alton, and the streets after his other children. During the long and varied career of Judge Easton he was actively engaged in the practice of his profession. As a public officer he discharged his duties with ability and fidelity. As a private citizen he was esteemed as a man of very kind heart, charitable to the full extent of his means. He and his accomplished wife dispensed a most generous hospitality, and few strangers of note visited St. Louis without receiving an invitation to his house. He died July 5, 1834, and his remains were deposited in Lindenwood cemetery at St. Charles, Mo. 66

ll1emoranda. Died Aug. 15, 1856, in \Vest Martinsburg, Lewis Co., N. Y., Giles Easton, aged 56. He sought the Lord in early life and joined the Methodist Episcopal church. When obscure and struggling up through many difficulties in the wilds of Northern New, York he ever clung to the Saviour and when sore, difficulties and trials encompassed him he fled to Christ as his refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble. For many months previous to the last sad hour, he was fully aware that he would soon leave this proba­ tionary state of sorrow, and has left every evidence that he was prepared to join his sainted mother in mansions of rest and glory.

JJ/I emoranda. By Charles \V. Bump, grandson of Abby Ann Easton Bnmp. '' Samuel Carpenter Bump was one of the pioneers in railroad construction in this country, for in 1828 and 1829, he built the celebrated Gravity Railroad from Carbondale to Honesdale, Pa., the first completed railroad in the U. S. Later he also built a portion of the Erie R. R. During the entire period of his married life he operated a grist mill at South Bainbridge, N. Y., now Afton, on a creek called Bump's Creek. He removed to Baltimore after the death of Abby Ann Easton Bump and on Oct. 31, 1857, married a second time Henrietta Graff. They had no children. She is still living. In Baltimore Samuel C. Bump was a builder and during the Civil War was prominent in the work of the Union Relief Association which cared for thousands of sick and wounded soldiers in the hospitals of the city. "Orlando F. Bump graduated in 1861 from the Deleware Literary In­ stitute at Franklin, N. Y., and in 1863 from Yale, with the degree of A. B. (honorary A. M. in 1876). Studied law in Baltimore and was admitted to the bar Sept. 14, 1865. Gained a high reputation among legal fraternity of Mary­ land, but was widely known throughout the U.S., by several standard works on federal law, among them Bump on Bankruptcy, which ran through ten editions, and Bump on Fraudulent Conveyances, which had four editions, In all he wrote about twelve legal works, besides many articles and much editorial work. He was an editorial writer on political topics for the Baltimore Ameriwn, and a leader of republican politics in Maryland, though never a candidate or aspirant for office, because of his large practice. '' Jesse Easton Bump fought through the Civil War with a N. Y. regiment. He has for many years been a travelling salesman, with Baltimore as his home." 104

~"DEATH OF A PROMINENT WEST TROJAN.-Charles Easton, one of the oldest and most respected residents of West Troy, died last evening at the advanced age of seventy-five years. Mr. Easton removed from Johnstown to this city in 1832, and was connected in business with Lewis Rousseau. In 1835 Mr. E. removed to West Troy, where with his partner, Mr. Rousseau, a large lumber business was prosecuted in connection with a steam planing mill. About four years ago Mr. E. relinquished business, and for a year past has been in failing health, so much so that for a few months past his mind has been greatly impaired. Mr. E. has filled creditably several places of trust, and has been particularly identified with the North Reformed church as a ruling elder. His death, though not unexpected, will cause a deep feeling of regret among a large circle of friends. The funeral will take place on next Thursday after­ noon at 2 o'clock."

'' On Saturday morning, May r5th, 1875, a large circle of relatives and friends were stricken with sorrow. One of West Troy's oldest citizens passed to her last rest. Mrs. Ann E. Easton, wife of the late Charles Easton, in the 81st year of her age. To all who knew her she was the noblest of women-­ changeless-ever the same pleasant smile, kind words and acts of kindness, won to her a host of friends. Her funeral obsequies were performed at her residence-where she had resided thirty-nine years-by Dr. Gregory and Rev. A. Hutton, Wednesday afternoon."

Mary S. Sibley d. June 20, 1878, age 78, St. Charles, Mo. No children. Jvfemoranda. Mary S. Easton Sibley received a liberal education, attending a female institute in Lexington, Ky., to which place and back to St. Louis she made the journey on horseback. She was married to Maj. Sibley when about fifteen years of age, and they removed at once to the Indian country, at Fort Osage, near where Independence, Mo., is now situated, Maj. Sibley being in the employ of the government as Indian Agent. Here they remained for several years, after which they returned to St. Louis, whence they again started for the Indian country, by land to St. Charles, with the view of taking a boat for Fort Osage. While waiting for a boat in that place, it occured to Maj. Sibley to examine a tract of land which he had located there, and seeing it for the first time, he was so pleased with the quality of the soil and surroundings that they resolved to settle on it permanently. With this object in view they erected a log cabin where now stand the improvements which have grown up under their fostering care. This was in 1828, and from that time to the day of her death Mrs. Sibley resided on the Lindenwood property, dispensing with a liberal hand the many charities suggested by the generous impulses of herself and husband, leading a useful and Christian life, and enjoying the respect and esteem of the community, with the love and devotion of all who knew her intimately. Mrs. Sibley was a lady of fine literary taste and with her husband founded and endowed the Lindenwood Female Seminary at St. Charles, giving the land on which it is built. 86 DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON.

Memoranda. Col. Alton R. Easton entered the military academy at West Point in 1824, At the end of two and a half years he resigned, and in the winter of 1827 returned to St. Louis and engaged in the study of medicine with Dr. Samuel Merry. This gentleman was also receiver of public money, and as he was in poor health, Easton was often left in charge of the office, and ultimately practically the receiver himself. Several years of this confining service affected his health unfavorably, and he left the office, and for four years was engaged almost exclusively in hunting and fishing. In 1832 he started with his rifle, a solitary volunteer, to engage in the Black Hawk War, but peace was concluded before he .reached the field of action. About the year 11333 the "St. Louis Grays" were organized, and became the crack company of the city, and Mr. Easton was for many years their captain. The organization of other companies in due season necessitated the formation of a regiment, and Captain Easton was chosen Colonel of the famous "St. Louis Legion." In May, 1846, when Gen. Taylor, after the brilliant battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, appealed to Gen. Gaines for reinforcements, the Legion promptly responded to the requisition of Gen. Gaines. Within three days the regiment was recuited to about nine hundred men, and on its way down the river to Mexico, with Col. Easton in command. The Legion spent the summer at Bureto, on the Rio Grande, far from the theatre of war, and in the fall returned to St. Louis without having participated in any engagements.

Early in the following year a requ1s1tlon for volunteers was made and St. Louis raised a battalion, with Col. Easton in command, and dispatched it southward. The force crossed the plains from Fort Leavenworth to Santa Fe. On arriving at Santa Fe, affairs were found in an extremely unsettled condition, and Col. Easton took the reins as Military Governor and restored order. On being relieved by Gen. Sterling Price, he led his command to Chihauhua, arriving there in March, 1848. The rumors of an armistice then prevailing prevented the battalion from engaging in any military movements, although there was brisk fighting at Santa Cruz, only sixty miles away. Peace having been declared, the regiment was ordered home and was mustered out of the service in Oct. 1848. When the Territory of New Mexico was organized, President Fillmore offered him the secretaryship, but he declined the honor. In 1853 Mr. Fillmore appointed him Assistant Treasurer of the United States, and he retained this office until removed by President Pierce. After the war, Col. Easton was strenuously urged to run for Congress, but declined. From 1860 to 1864, he was a member of the County Court. During his term the Court House was finished and the Insane Asylum was in process of building. From 1861 to 1864 he was Inspector General of the State of Missouri under the celebrated "Order No. 90", which authorized the equipment and maintenance of a body of troops raised in Missouri, under the authority of the Federal Government and bearing allegience thereto, but to be employed exclusively for the defense of the State. In this capacity Col. Easton showed great ability as an organizer, and rendered the Union cause the most indefati­ gable and efficient service, his duties at times leading him into situations of extreme personal peril. In 1873 he was appointed Assessor of Internal Revenue by President Grant, of his own motion and without the customary consultation with the Missouri delegation. Col. Easton held this office until it was legislated out of existence, and soon after that event, was appointed Pension Agent by Presi­ dent Grant, who was still anxious to show his regard for an old and trusted friend. He was often consulted by the President concerning appointments in St. Louis, and his recommendations were usually concurred in. In May, 1875, President Grant tendered to Col. Easton the office of Collector of Internal Revenue, but he did not accept it. At the expiration of his term as Pension Agent, in 1877, he retired to private life, and spent the remainder of his life in the enjoyment of well earned rest. 130

DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON. 99

Milford, in the Delaware valley, in the spring of r825. The parents of James Easton accompanied him, and in December, 1826, Calvin Easton died at Milford, where he was engaged in teaching school. After the death of his father, James Easton lived with his grandfather, until the spring of 1839. His education was obtained in the common schools of that period, and they were not of the best. His first school days, in the summer of r829, were passed in a log house on the farm of Dr. John J. Linder­ man,_ in what is now Lehman Township. The teacher was Mrs. Maria Seaman, a sister of Richard Brodhead, who afterwards became U. S. senator from Pa. His last winter in school was at what is now Walpack Center, N. J., his grandfather having moved there in the spring of r833. His home in this State was on the banks of the Delaware river, in Walpack Township, directly opposite to the farm on which he first lived. Moses Van Gorden married Mrs. Charlotte Easton in 1834, and in March, 1839, James Easton left school and during the summer he worked on his stepfather's farm. In the fall of the same year he left the farm and entered the store of T. J. Newman, at Maple Grove, Pa., where he remained until June, 1841, when he engaged as clerk in the store of J. C. Bevans, at Sandi­ ston, Sussex Co., N. J. In the spring of 1845 he left the store and served an apprenticeship of three years at the trade of a millwright, with Webb Wallace. After completing his term he worked as a journeyman for one year. On Fe):,. 24, 1849, he married Hannah Elizabeth Corwin. In June, 1850, he removed with his family to Duukirk, N. Y., where he was at the opening of the Erie railroad in May, 1851. In the fall of r85r he came to Howells Depot, and in October, r855, opened a country store in partnership with H. Bevans, with the firm name of Easton and Bevans. He continued in business with fair success until r86r, when the partner­ ship was dissolved. In 1863 James Easton removed to East Saginaw, Michigan, and remained there one year, when he decided that Orange Co. N. Y., was good enough for him, and so came to Otisville, where he owned a storehouse. On April 15, 1864, he commenced business. In May, 1884, his store was burned, but he immediately rebuilt, and is still in business at the same place. James Easton has won the respect of friends and enemies alike by his uncompromising honesty and straightforwardness. In business affairs his advice is sought by many, marked, as it is, by sagacity and fairness. In politics he has been a life-long Democrat. His character is a very decided one, and he is fearless of speech, never hesitating to speak his convictions, even if such expression injures his business interests. He makes a good friend, for, once having made up his mind about a person, nothing can alter his devotion, except actual unworthiness in the object of it. Like most men of firm and decided character, he makes a good hater as well as a good lover, but he would not willingly injure an enemy. He has been very fortunate in his home relations, his wife being of the kind praised by Solomon in the Book of Proverbs, and his devotion to the interests of those whose natural protector he is, will serve as an example to those who follow him.

1845 he became a clerk for Goodrich & Easton, at Penn Yan, N. Y. In 1846, they removed to Milwaukee, Wis., and young Giles went with them. His health became impaired with malarial fever (fever and ague) and he soon returned east to Gouverneur, N. Y., where some cousins of his father (the Van Burens) resided. From there he went to \Vest Martinsburgh, where, under the skillful nursing of his kind aunt, Olive Easton, (mother of J. C. E.) he soon got • rid of his fever and ague. At West Martinsburgh, he came in contact with talented Giles C. Easton, (after whose father he was named) and by him was induced to obtain a collegiate education. In 1847, he entered the Gouverneur Wesleyan Seminary, his sister Fanny attending the same Seminary, the expense being paid by his brother, Asahel, who held a good position in the Government Land Office, in Washington, D. C. He graduated from the Seminary in 1849, then taught school in N. Y., then went to Delaware to take the place of Giles C., who went to Trinity College. He next was a clerk in Newell's large store in New York City, who loaned him $1,000 to go to Trinity College in 1850. In 1852, he got a furlough, left for California across the isthmus of Panama, became assistant cashier of the Pacific Mail S. S. Co., under Capt. Eben Knight, the gold shipments at that time being $5,000,000 per month. He returned east in 1853 and graduated from Trinity College in 1854, when he returned to California with his sister Fanny.

Memoranda. Jason Clark Easton is a native of Lewis County, New York, and was born in West Martinsburgh, on the 12th of May, 1823. His parents were Giles and Olive (Green) Easton. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather were born in Hartford, Conn., where his ancestor, Joseph Easton, who was one of the original proprietors of the present city of Hartford, settled in the year 1636. His grandfather, Giles Easton Sr., was an artisan in the revolutionary army. The Greens were from Rhode Island. The subject of this biography prepared for College at Lowville, New York, and entered Yale College in 1847, but his health failed and he left in the fresh­ man year. On the 2d of February, 1848, he purchased at Lowville the Nort/1- ern :Journal, a whig newspaper, and conducted it the most of the time for about five years. Mr. Easton was in the military service of the state of New York, being commissioned in 1851 as paymaster.on the general staff, with rank of Captain in the New York State militia, and served in that capacity until he moved west in 1856. He also joined the Masonic fraternity and was made a Mason by the Lowville Lodge No. 134, April 15, 1851; that on the zoth of March, 1857, a demit was granted to him from that Lodge and soon thereafter he joined the Lodge at Chatfield, Minnesota. At this time he had begun to realize the opportunities opening to young men in the great northwest, and in the spring of 1856, made a change of location that opened before him a career of unusual usefulness and material success. Locating at Chatfield, Fillmore County, Minnesota, he, from the first became one of the business and financial forces of that new section; he opened the Root River Bank, a private institution, continuing its proprietor until May, 1888. He also owned a private bank at Lanesboro, and had an interest in five others, being of the firms of Smith, Wilkins & Easton, Austin; Farmer & Easton, Spring Valley; Easton & Armstrong, Winnebago City; Sprague & Easton, Caledonia; Lovell & Easton, Grand Meadow; and First National Bank, Owatonna, all in Minnesota, but has disposed of his interests in that direction, although most of them continue in succ.essful operation. From the first Mr. Easton dealt largely in real estate. He became at one time during his residence in Minnesota an extensive owner of cultivated lands, owning something like thirty small improved farms which he rented, in addition to several that were cultivated under his personal direction. He also became the owner of some of the best stock in Minnesota. In addition to the improved property, including his two stock farms, he possessed some fifteen or twenty thousand acres of wild land in Minnesota, and a large amount in the Sioux Valley, Dakota. I I 6 DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON.

During 1872 and 1873, Mr. Easton was engaged on a large scale in the purchase and shipment of grain and other farm products along the Southern Minnesota railroad. As his operations enlarged and his capital increased, he decided to have a part in the great and developing railroad interests of that section, keenly foreseeing the greatness to which they would grow. In 1875 he purchased a controlling interest in the stock of the Southern Minnesota, a line extending from La Crescent, a town in Minnesota on the west bank of the Mississippi river, opposite the city of La Crosse, to Winnebago city, a distance of one hundred and sixty-seven miles. Soon after that purchase Mr. Easton was elected a member of _its board of directors. In 1877 the Southern Minnesota Railway Extension Company was organized, of which Mr. Easton was a director and the president. This company was organized for the purpose of extending the Southern Minnesota railroad to the west line of the State, under the provisions of a land grant from Congress. All the stock of the extension was owned by the Southern Minnesota Railroad Company. The road was completed in December, 1878, to Flandrau, Dakota, ten miles west of the State line, and three years before the time fixed in the act of the legislature of Minnesota, and the rich grant of land secured to the company. The road was subsequently built from Flandrau to Sioux Falls, Dakota. The company also acquired by purchase a line of road (the Minnesota and Northwestern) from Wells to Mankato, making a total length of road of over four hundred miles. In May, 1879, Mr. Easton and his associates sold a majority of the Southern Minnesota Railroad Company's stock to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R;iilway Company, and soon afterwards the latter company purchased all of the bonds of the Southern Minnesota Railroad Company, and the entire property conveyed by deed to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company, and merged into that great system of railway. In June, 1879, Mr. Easton was elected a director of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company and remained a member of that board until 1889, when he retired from the board, but has continued since that time a large stockholder. In 1881 he organized the Chippewa Valley & Superior Railway Company, or which he was made the president. He constructed a line of road from Wabasha, Minnesota, including the bridge across the Mississippi river to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with a branch to Menomonie in the State last named. In 1882 Mr. Easton and associates purchased the entire stock and was made president of the Chicago & Evanston railroad. With characteristic energy he completed this line from the union depot to the village of Evanston, a distance of twelve miles. He expended in the construction and acquirement of this property about three million dollars. Mr. Easton was also president of the Dakota & Great Southern railway, with a line of railway from Madison to Harlem, Dakota, a distance of one hundred and fifty-six miles of completed road. He was also one of the original promoters and stockholders of the Fargo & Southern railway, a line of com­ pleted road from Fargo, Dakota, to Ortonville, Minnesota. All of these rail­ way properties have been acquired and are now owned by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company, and are part of that great system. In r883 Mr. Easton removed from Minnesota to La Crosse, \Visconsin, where, having invested a large sum in a residence and grounds, he now resides DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON. 117

practically retired from active business, g1vmg bis business affairs only a general oversight, leaving the details to his son L. F. Easton, and nephew,• R. E. Shepherd, of the law firm of Shepherd & Catherwood, Austin, Minnesota. As may be learned from the foregoing, Mr. Easton has been too closely engrossed in business affairs to seek office, leaving the offices for those who love to bold them, although a close and interested observer of National and State affairs. He cast his first vote for Henry Clay for president, in 1844, and was identified with the Whig party until 1856, since which time he has voted with the Republicans. During the war of the rebellion he was an ardent supporter of the government and was a liberal contributor with his means for bounties for men to fill the drafts for men on his town and county. Mr. Easton well deserves by his honorable method of business, generosity and high ability, the respect and confidence which he enjoys all through the Northwest, and is recognized as a marked example of what a man can achieve when he industriously sets himself to the performance of the labors of life.

l/1Jemora11da. It is only occasionally that enough of unusual interest and action can he found to make the life of any individual prominent above the restless surging of the present age. But there are some, however, who, catching the first flood of the tide of our modern life, so well unclerstand its direction, and so successfully keep abreast of it. that they fairly epitomize the movement and become its exponents. It is always a subject of regret wheu, as is too often the case in our busy world, the lives of such prominent and useful men are permitted to pass into oblivion when the grave closes over their career. A iife of useful labor is an object of contemplation far too fruitful and suggestive to be suffered to pass qnickly out of memory. The man may live. may toil, may shape the tendency of his time, and the restless waves of busy human life, despite family tradition and family love, soon erase the most cherished recollections, unless gathered up and crystallized into some more permanent and abiding form. To preserve in some measure from oblivion, the deeds and memory of those whose honorable and useful lives demand our reverence. this history of Lewis County is given to the public. Of the men and families who deserve to be remembered when the dark river shall have swept them forever from our sight, none are more worthy than those mentioned in this sketch. Russell James Easton was horn March 7. 1827. He was educated in the common school at \Ve_st Martinsburgh, and in a select school kept by John Vary. At the age of seventeen he took up his father's occupation of farming and general merchandising. His first venture was in the purchase of wool with A·uon \.Yo::id for a partner. This experiment, which led them a long distance from home, proved discouraging to \Vood, who sold his interest in the business to Mr. Edston and withdrew from the partnership. His next partner was \.Yiliiam I,ook, with whom he continued the business, to ,vhich was afterward added the manufacture of potash, Beginning at the lowest round of the commercial !arider, and '' despising 11ot the day of small things," he built up a large and lucrative tracte, having for his partners at different times. his father and his brothers, Francis and Giles. In 1$()). the real active business of his life began. On the 24th-of January of that year, he formed a partnership with his brother Giles. at Lowville. under the firm name of G. C. & R. J.

He there entered actively into the labors which have resulted in the improvement of that village. During the year 1863-64. he purchased in the central part of Lowville, thirty-three acres of land, most of which was then a rude cow pasture, owned by men mostly of no enterprise, and erected thereon, in the same year, five buildings, the first built on Easton street, which thoroughfare he opened and which was named for him. He has been an extensive dealer in real estate, and the western part of the village owes its growth to his enterprise. This once neglected tract of land is now occupied by fine residences and has become the homes of the solid men of Lowville, His business as commission merchant increased during these years, and from the small beginning of the youth of seventeen, has grown to proportions which place him in the front rank of the business men of the county. In this department of the business of his life, he has probably done as large a trade as any man in the county, if not larger, averaging fully a yearly sum of a quarter million of dollars. On the 12th of February, 1875. he took his son Gilbert into partnership, and on the rst of April, 1881, his son Giles was added to the firm. The firm name was then changed to the one it now bears, R. J. Easton & Sons. In 1869 Mr. Easton was appointed United States assistant supervisor of internal revenue. under the administration of President Grant. At the break­ ing out of the rebellion, Mr. Easton furnished a substitute, and at the call of President Lincoln for 500,000 volunteers, was appointed chairman of the war committee of Lowville, and promptly filled the quota of the town. The quota consisted of forty-six men, which he filled mostly by procuring substitutes in New York City, and the balance by securing volunteers from Lowville and Watertown. In this work of raising soldiers to put down the rebellion and to secure a united country, Mr. Easton did valuable work which entitles him to the gratitude of the people of Lowville. Commencing life under discouraging circumstances; struggling upward with an earnest desire to accomplish some good work in this life, he is emphatically a self-made man, and deserves to rank among those men whose names we should not willingly let die. In 1840 his father Giles 2d, Henry Curtis and Noah Harger, built the Methodist Episcopal church in West Martinsburgh, now standing there. Mr. Easton joined the society of that church in 1838, in which he has been steward for thirty-one years. On the 23d of September, 1851, he was married to Jan·e Rogers, daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth Rogers, of Lowville, one of the pioneers of Lewis County, who was born in Lowville, April 18, 1832. The children of this marriage were: Gilbert Russell, born in Martinsburg, September 18, 1857; Giles Nelson, born in Martinsburgh, May 17, 1860, and Frank Rogers, born in Lowville, October 30, 1869. His wife, Jane Rogers Easton, died February IO, 1894, he continuing his home and an active business life, and in the year 1895, erected in the village of Lowville, what is known as the Easton Block, which stands as a memorial to his energy as an· enterprising and esteemed citizen of Lowville. Was active until the time of his death, which occurred November 17, 1897. 120 DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON.

Memoranda. Lyman J. Gage has been a resident of Chicago for more than forty years, and during that time has come to be known as one of the leading financiers, not only of that city, but also of the nation. He is a native of Madison Co., N. Y., and was born in 1836, the son of Eli A. Gage, one of the early settlers of that county. When seventeen years of age Lyman closed bis studies in school and accepted a position in the Oneida Central Bank at Rome, New York, began that business career in which he achieved a most laudable success and made for himself an honorable name. In 1855 he removed to Chicago and for some three years was employed by a lumber and planing mill firm. His natural liking for the banking business, however, led him to make a change as soon as a suitable opportunity offered, and in 1858 he became book-keeper for the Merchants Loan & Trust Company, of Chicago, and held that position until 1863, when he was made assistant cashier of the bank. During this time Mr. Gage made a careful study of the banking business, familiarizing himself with all its minute details and came to be known in local financial circles as a man of progressive, yet conservative ideas, and unusual executive ability. In recognition of this ability and fitness he was a few months later made cashier of the First National Bank, of Chicago, which had been organized May 1, 1863. In May, 1882, a new organization of the bank with increased capital was effected with Mr. Gage as vice-president, and subsequently became president. During the time since the new organization, Mr. Gage has been the general manager and chief executive of the institution, and has come to be recognized as among the most far sighted, broad minded and substantial bankers of his time. ·In recognition of his ability as a financier he was by President McKinley in 1898 appointed as Secretary of the U. S. Treasury.

It is with deepest regret we a~nounce the death of our esteemed friend, Schuyler D. Frazer, of Otisville, which took place on Wednesday morning, Jan. 15th, at the residence of his father-in-law, James Easton. Mr. Frazer was born at Bethel, Sullivan County, N. Y., March 27, 1848. He moved to Otisville when a small boy and was for a number of years a faithful and trusted clerk in the store of Mr. Easton. In 1869 he went to Athens, Pa., and soon bnilt a profitable and prosperous business for himself. In 1873 he moved to Elmira, taking in partners and engaging in an exclusively wholesale trade, and in 1878 he connected himself with the "Mile End" Thread Co., doing a very large and successful business on the road till 1883, which he increased by taking up several threads. Finally taking up Chadwick's thread he made a very profitable engagement with that company when they first came into this country, and succeeded iu building up their business largely until his health failed and he was obliged on that account to retire, living at Otisville with his family till his d"eath. He leaves a young and devoted wife, Nellie, only daughter of Mr. James Easton, and two little children, Easton and Charles, to mourn his early death. His father, Mr. Reuben Frazer, bis mother, four sisters and two brothers also · survive. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. R H. Craig and Rev. J. Service on Saturday at Otisville, and the interment took place at Howells beside his little son, Schuyler, who died two years ago. Mr. Frazer rests in peace, having lived a spotless life and having proved during the long and wearisome years of his last illness that he possessed a faith in God and trust in his Redeemer which grew in strength and clearness up to the last moment of life.-Orange County Press, :January 2I, I890. 276 9 8 7 Thomas Horton Easton (James Calvin , Norman 6, James 5, 3 1 Joseph', Joseph , Joseplt2, Joseph ), son of James (153) and Hannah E.

MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS.

1 Elisha• Easton (Joseph3, Joseph 2, Joseph ), son of Joseph (9) and Sarah (Spencer) Easton, was bap. March Ir, 1705. He probably died between the years 1764 and 1774. We have been unable to find any records of his marriage, although there is collateral evidence that he had a wife and children, as will be shown from the land and probate record, extracts from which we will give. He was a resident of East Hartford, in that part known as Oxford Parish, the records of which Parish are not in existence, which has made it very difficult to obtain his family record. First, to establish the fact that he was a householder, we will give copy of a deed from vol. IO, page 436, Hartford Land Records, to John Grant, Jr.

Vol. IO, page 436. "Elisha Easton, for £36.00.00 Conveys to John Grant Jr. of ·windsor, One certain Piece of Land lying in Hartford, in the five miles so called, in the second tier from Bolton line, is on the south side of the Lott on which I the said Easton, now Dwell; containing 18 acres, and is bounded as follows Viz east & west on a highway; south on land laid out to John Dix, now in the improvement of Simon Gains, and is to extend North twelve Rods in breadth from Simon Gains North Line and is the South side of the Lott laid out to Thomas Cadwell." 25 April 1764. ELISHA EASTON, [Seal]

Second, to establish the fact that Elisha Easton had a daughter that married John Grant Jr., we will give copy of a deed from John Grant, in which he states that Elisha Easton was his father-in-law.

Vol. IJ, page I99, Hartford Land Records. '' I John Grant of East Windsor in the County of Hartford and Colony of Conn. in New England, In consideration of Thirty pounds money Received to DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON. 193 my full Satisfaction of Joseph Keeney, Lemuel Easton, & Abel Easton, al!' of Hartford in the County of Hartford, Do give grant, Bargain. Sell, and Confirm unto the said Joseph Keeney Lemuel Easton, & Abel Easton, All my Right Title and Interest in and to A Certain Piece of Land That I have by Virtue of a Deed from my Father in law Elisha Easton, Said Piece of Land lyeth in Said Hartford in Oxford Parish, and is bounded South· on Land belonging to Simon Gains and as otherwise bounded by Said Deed Reference thereto being had and Twelve Rods wide North and South Containing eighteen acres To Have and to Hold, etc." Witness JoHN GRANT. [Seal] JOHN PITKIN NEHEMIAH ABBE. Dated 3 February 1774-

We find also a Hannah Easton, b. April 25, 1761, in Manchester, Coqn., who married Cephas Mills. She was brought up in the family of her uncle; John Grant, and that the name of his wife was Mary. We also find from the record of baptisms in the First Congregational church in East Hartford, that Thankful Easton, a dau. of Joseph, was baptized Jan. 4, 1758, and a son, Justin, Oct. 14, 1763. Now t6 show who this Joseph Easton was, and that he was also the father of Hannah, we have the statement of Albert P. Cleland, a resident at this time (1898) in Minneapolis, Minn., about seventy years of age, and a great grandson of Thankful Easton, (who married John Cleland), who states that in the year 1836 he was a resident of Niles, Mich., and that at that time a Cephas Mills, a son of Hannah and Cephas Mills, was a resident of Niles and well acquainted with him, and knows the fact that Hannah, the ' mother of Cephas, was a sister of his great grandmother, Thankful. This also shows that Joseph, the father of Hannah and Thankful, was a son of Elisha. The foregoing shows very conclusively that Mary, the wife of John Grant, was a daughter of Elisha Easton, and the aunt of Hannah. Also that Hannah was the granddaughter of Elisha; and Hannah being a sister of Thankful establishes the fact that Joseph, their father, was a son of Elisha. We will therefore give as the children of Elisha- 371 JOSEPH, b.-- MARY, b. --; she d. April 4, ,799, was buried in the cemetery at Wapping, Conn.; she m. John Grant Jr., who was b. Jan. 1, 1720. son of John and Mary (Chapman} Grant; he d. Dec. 12, 1802. 13 194 DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH EASTON.

ERRATA.

It would be absurd to assert that a work composed largely of names, dates and statistics, and collected from so many different sources and individuals, would be void of some errors, notwithstanding the utmost care. The causes are numerous, a few of which may be named. One prolific source of errors arises from indistinct manu­ script furnished by correspondents. In the giving of dates and names, sometimes names of a similar character, where the addition or substitution of one letter will change the name entirely, occurs. Transcribing and typographic errors will also sometimes unavoidably occur. Again, different members of the same family often furnish conflicting reports. These are some of the difficulties we have had to encounter. But we have been able as yet to discover but a small number which are chargeable to ourselves.
