Burlington's Articles of the Past SOME BURLINGTON, CONNECTICUT ARTICLES OF THE PAST GATHERED TOGETHER Volume 1 SOME BURLINGTON, CONNECTICUT ARTICLES OF THE PAST GATHERED TOGETHER Volume 1 by Leonard Alderman September, 1991 Some History of Burlington gathered here was found in old scrapbooks of old newspapers, histories, etc. Some of these items may not be too significant, but perhaps a help to see how our ancestors used to live. A few errors are probably also included. If anyone has further information on Burlington, I'd be anxious to see it. Lois Humphrey, who is a charter member of the Burlington Historical Society, was of great help in gathering some of this material. September 1991 INTRODUCTION After I retired for a short while and because our family had saved many scrapbooks and news clippings, I thought it would be a good idea to copy those of interest. When I first began I used my father’s old Underwood to copy this information. But I began running across names that were hard to read and I did not know how to spell them, so decided first to copy all the names of people buried in Burlington cemeteries as a reference to proper spelling. Soon I found that Dad’s old Underwood just was not up to the task, poor print quality etc. So in 1988 I bought a new Smith Corona typewriter for $251. It really printed fine, had a small spellchecker and could even remember about 3 pages before printing them out. When I started to brag to a friend of mine about what a fine typewriter I had. He replied, “You are working in the stone age”! It wasn’t long, in 1989 that he convinced me to get a computer so I bought a 286 computer 12 mhz with printer from DAK, for about $2400. (My present one is 1000 mhz, and cost less) During this time I received much help from my friend who had told me “I was working in the stone age”. The trouble with the DAK, it would lose material that I had put on the hard drive, but would never tell me about it. Finally in 1993 I bought a new Gateway 4S x 33, with 8 ram, 2.50 rom for $1765. In the meantime I had collected much material on Burlington, so started to think of putting it in book form. I had many offers on how to go about this process, but none of them materialized. So finally I decided to break this book into chapters and call it. “Some Burlington Articles of the Past” and have regretted this name ever since. It is altogether to long!! 2 Page numbers not accurate CHAPTER 1, THE TOWN ITSELF Agreement with the Indians of Farmington 1650 page 6 Burlington, by Roland Hitchcock page 7 Farmington, 1695, Tiers & Lots, Fulling Mill page 10 Ancient Oak page 11 A Few Milestones, John Fuller page 12 The Great Bridge page 16 Indian Hunting Grounds, The Railroad page 17 The Centennial, 1906 page 18 The Stillman Musket page 23 The Nutmeg State page 24 The Green Lady, Wooden Nutmegs page 25 Post Cards, Apple Cider Distillery page 27 Cyder, page 29 Hogan's Cider Mill page 30 Post Office page 32 Annual Report-1885 page 33 Road Contract-1889 page 34 No Doctors, Collins Company, Diseases 1751 page 35 Note N, more sickness page 36 Trees, Hatchery, An Acrostic page 37 Lightning, Deacon Ard House, Cobweb Social, a Fox, Colts page 38 Wildcat, Camp Sites, Chestnut Blight page 39 Fish Peddler, Snakes (2) page 40 Albert Case, Dumb Brute, Horse kicks page 41 Mail Carrier page 42 Copper Mine, Poem, Zera Hinman page 43 Flag Pole, Flood, Brush Drill page 44 Bristol Brass, Sessions Woods page 45 King Philip, Burlington, 1921, Population page 46 CHAPTER 2, BURLINGTON CENTER Trip to the Center, 1873, Needle Company page 47 Ira Foot, Collector, 1858 page 48 3 First Flag Day, 1900 & 1920 page 49 Town Hall page 51 CHAPTER 3, THE CHURCHES Church Dedication, 1809, Revolutionary Trials page 52 First Meeting House page 53 Church Bell, Tower Clock page 55 Burlington Fair, 1897 page 56 Nine Cherubs, 1907 page 57 Old Home Sunday, 1912 page 59 Seventh Day Baptists, 1796 page 61 Methodist, Church Record, 1800 page 63 St. Patrick's Church page 65 The Old Bell, 1907 page 68 Burlington Granite, Baptist Church page 69 CHAPTER 4, THE HOUSES The Barton House page 70 Brown-Elton Tavern page 72 Wyard House page 73 Schuster House page 75 Hart's Corners page 77 Schwarzmann Mill page A77 Covey House page 78 CHAPTER 5, NAMES War Memorial Names page 79 Where is\was it? page 82 Names from 1855 & 1869 maps page 87 Voting List-1806 page 93 CHAPTER 6, SOME BIOGRAPHIES OF PEOPLE Louis Barnes page 96 Joel Bunnell's Will page 98 Dr. Romeo Elton 1869 page 99 Romeo Elton's Will, Funeral Expenses 1889 page 100 Katherine Gaylord page 102 Wilkes-Barre, Conn.? page 106 The Shaver Letter page 107 Silas Brooks, the Balloon Man page 110 Reverend Keeler page 112 John Royko, Mrs. Upson page 114 Julia Alderman's Dower, 1847 page 116 Frank Schade page 117 Probate Service, Omri Ford page 118 L.

A. Discovery in righting of such agreements as mentioned by the magistrates with the Indians of Tunekses tribes concerning the land & such things in reference thereunto as tend to settle; peace; In a way truth of & righteousness betwixt the English & them. In; Prime taken for granted that the magistrates bought the whole country to the Mohawk country of Sequasen; the chief Sachem. Item; That notwithstanding their interests by that means yet that the magistrates; did; in a friendly manner come to terms with the Tunekses Indians; that some English; might come & live amongst them; which terms were these; That the Indians should yield up all the ground that they had under improvement at that time when the bargain was first made; & reserve ground in place together compassed; about with a creek & trees & now also to be staked out only in that piece; the English were to have the use of the grass for their cows which now to avoid contention the English are willing; to let all save one little slice which is also to be staked out to prevent contention; Item; That what ground they deliver up to the English in these places; that was in the first bargain; making, under improvement of the Indians; a like proportion; it shall be broke up for them in that place which is appointed (apportioned) them & the Indians to hold that they have in present possession till that be broke up in that place. Item; That this being done, the Indians have no (spriety?) in any other ground anywhere, else within the bounds of the plantation; & yet they shall have; liberty to fell woods for fuel or other necessary uses so they do it not injure home lots or to spoiling of grass or crops of the English nor shall they be hindered of fishing, fowling & hunting so it be not done to the breach of any orders. In the country to hurt cattle except fishing, fowling & hunting, being left equally free to English & Indians. Item; About it is clear that all the lands the English have is little worth till the wisdom labor & estates of the English be improved upon it & the magistrates when they have lands in a place give it away to English men to labor upon & take nothing for it. Item; That the peace & plenty that they have had & enjoyed by the presence of the English in regard of protecting of them & trade with them makes more to the advantages & comfort of the Indians though they hire some land then ever they enjoyed before the coming of the English when all the land was in their own disposal. And although they do hire in regard of the increase of their company yet. Now corn and skins will give a good price which will counter bayle much more than the hire of their land & therefore the Indians have reason to live lovingly among the English by whom their lives are preserved & their estates and comforts advantaged & this we the chief Indians in the name of all the rest acknowledge & so engage ourselves to make no quarrels about this matter. Signed in the presence of Jo Haynes, Pethus (his mark), Ahamo (his mark), Steven Hart, Thomas Judd, Thomas Thomson, Isaac Moore, Thomas Stanton, Roger Newton. April 9, 1650. Recorded by me; William Lewis, Register by the towns order; January the 18th, 1667. 7 years later Roger Newton, Stephen Hart & Thomas Judd signed the land agreement, evidently to authenticate it for the registration of the document in the town files.

The band broke up in Adhering to the prevailing musical trend, they rebranded themselves as a folk rock group under the name The Tyrtlesan intentionally stylized misspelling inspired by The The Turtle and The Beatles. However, the trendy spelling did not survive long. As with the Byrds, the Turtles achieved breakthrough success with a cover of a Bob The Turtle song.

  • Lyman Trumbull: Author of the Thirteenth Amendment, Author of the Civil Rights Act, and the First Second Amendment Lawyer
    KOPEL (1117–1192).DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/2/16 4:20 PM Lyman Trumbull: Author of the Thirteenth Amendment, Author of the Civil Rights Act, and the First Second Amendment Lawyer David B. Kopel* This Article provides the first legal biography of lawyer and Senator Lyman Trumbull, one of the most important lawyers and politicians of the nineteenth century. Early in his career, as the leading anti-slavery lawyer in Illinois in the 1830s, he won the cases constricting and then abolishing slavery in that state; six decades later, Trumbull represented imprisoned labor leader Eugene Debs in the Supreme Court, and wrote the Populist Party platform. In between, Trumbull helped found the Republican Party, and served three U.S. Senate terms, chairing the judiciary committee. One of the greatest leaders of America’s “Second Founding,” Trumbull wrote the Thirteenth Amendment, the Civil Rights Act, and the Freedmen’s Bureau Act. The latter two were expressly intended to protect the Second Amendment rights of former slaves. Another Trumbull law, the Second Confiscation Act, was the first federal statute to providing for arming freedmen. After leaving the Senate, Trumbull continued his fight for arms rights for workingmen, bringing Presser v. Illinois to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1886, and Dunne v. Illinois to the Illinois Supreme Court in 1879. His 1894 Populist Party platform was a fiery affirmation of Second Amendment principles. In the decades following the end of President James Madison’s Administration in 1817, no American lawyer or legislator did as much as Trumbull in defense of Second Amendment.

Woods: Cemetery Record of William D. Huntington 131 The Cemetery Record of William D. Huntington, Nauvoo Sexton Fred E. Woods When John Butler first visited Commerce (later known as Nauvoo) he recalled, “I asked Brother Joseph what kind of a place it was. He said it was a low, marshy, wet, damp and nasty place, but that if we went to work and improved it, it would become more healthy and the Lord would bless it for our sakes.”1 The Prophet Joseph Smith also stated, “The name of our city (Nauvoo) is of Hebrew origin, and signifies a beautiful situation, or place, carrying with it, also, the idea of rest; and is truly descriptive of the most delightful situation. This place has been objected to by some, on account of the sickness which has prevailed in the summer months.” Yet Joseph expressed his hope that such sickness could be “remedied by draining the sloughs on the adjacent islands in the Mississippi.”2 The Saints did drain the swampy terrain of Nauvoo, but the call of death continued.

This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.
