X I flfcil TT 4- fe \%c\\ 3on 1 o^ &l TO THE NUMEROUS DESCENDANTS .OF William Thomas, OP HAKDWICK, THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THEIR KINSMAN, THE AUTHOR. , PREFACE. To learn something of the origin and history of one's family would appear to be a natural and almost universal desire of mankind. The same curiosity which leads us to peer into the hidden future prompts us to travel back to the early days ofour andestors, to inquire from whence they came, where were their homes, and what were their names and deeds. And he who collects and preserves from oblivion the names and history of individuals and families performs a service worthy of general recognition. The value ofbiography and of the history of nations, gov­ ernments, and institutions is universally acknowledged, and the carefully preserved records of families often possess an interest and value similar inkind,ifnot equal in degree. In our own country, the pressure of business interests absorbs so much of the time and energy of the people that until within a recent period these matters have received much less attention than in the Old World. There all records of births, marriages, and deaths have for ages been carefully preserved, and are always easy of access. The advantages of this custom are many and obvious ;ancestry may be more easily traced, inheritance claims readily established, statistics of great value may be easily collected, and the interests of coming genera­ tions inmany ways subserved. The origin of this volume is due to a circumstance ' which may be worthy of narration. Up to three-score years the compiler knew comparatively nothing of his (v) PEEPACE. father's family except that it was ofWelsh descent, and that his grandfather lived in Massachusetts. Azariah Thomas, his father, having emigrated from-Massachusetts to the northern part of New York State early in the century (about 1804), where he died in 1831, the writer, at that time but 5 years of age, was thus left isolated from his father's family, with little inclination and less opportunity for making their acquaintance. While inafter years the desire for learning something of the family became strongly developed, but for the follow­ ing circumstance it would probably never have been gratified. In the summer of 1887, while overhauling some old books and papers, he came across a letter addressed to an elder brother, written in March, 1852, thirty-nine years ago, by the late Sarah N. Thomas (Gage), daughter of Alpheus Thomas, of Prescott, Mass. Here was a name and an address, a sufficient clue for attempting to discover the long-lost family. A letter addressed "To any Descendant of the late Alpheus Thomas," and directed to Prescott, Mass., soon brought a reply from Judge E. A. Thomas, of Amherst, Mass., brother of the writer of the above-mentioned letter, and with whom a correspondence was immediately opened. The information thus acquired served only to increase the desire for more knowledge of the family, and finally led to the conception of the present volume. A cir­ cular was sent to all known addresses of members of the family and replies received of such a character as to encourage in the prosecution of the work. The result of the effort is now placed before the members of the family. The arrangement adopted in this record is one that willbe easily understood and that willpermit ofa ready tracing of families. Following each name in large type PEEFACE, Vll will be found, inbrackets, the descent of the individual from William1, the number above the right of each name indicating the generation to which he belonged. The children ineach family are given insmall type and are numbered. If these children died unmarried or without issue the name does not again appear, while if they married and left issue it will re-appear under the same number but in large type and in its numerical order, but perhaps a number of pages further on in the book. Thus, on page 74 will be found the name of Beals Thomas in large type (No. 72). Following the biographical sketch willbe found the number and names of his several children. Nancy Bigelow Thomas and Edwin Egery Thomas not having married and left issue, their names do not again appear ; while the others, hav­ ing had children, each will again be found in the next generation, under the same number, in large type. Should it be desired to trace back Beals Thomas to his parents, by turning to No. 74 in small type his name willbe found, with those of his brothers and sisters, following a sketch of his parents. The labor of collecting and arranging the material for this work has been pre-eminently a labor of love. No discoverer of a new continent ever pursued his explora­ tions withgreater interest than has been experienced by the compiler in the prosecution of his self-imposed task. Every newly discovered family, name, or fact, has only added to his interest in the work and stimulated him to further efforts toward the accomplishment ofhis purpose. Had all to whom application has been made forinforma­ tion felt an equal interest, the record would have been more complete and the biographical sketches more full. Over 1100 names have been collected and recorded inthis volume ;yet this large number probably does not include Vlll PBEFACE. more than half the descendants of William Thomas of Hardwick. Nearly all are from his oldest son, Amos 2. Ofhis remaining children very few descendants have been found, and of three of his sons none whatever. Acknowledgment should here be made of valuable assistance in the collection of material for this work and in the preparation of sketches by Hon. E. A. Thomas, of Amherst ; A.O. Thomas, of Waltham, Mass. ; by the Rev. Clark O. Maltby, of Philadelphia ;by Mrs. Hattie E. Knowlton, of Westboro, Mass.; by Charles D. Thomas, of Boston, Mass.; by Mrs. L. R. Hills, of Brooklyn, N.V.; and Miss Emma Josephine T. Gale, of Montvale, Mass. That errors willbe found inthese records is more than probable, notwithstanding the great care that has been taken to prevent the same. Blank pages have been placed at the end of the volume for convenience inmaking additional records. A few abbreviations have been employed, which will be readily understood, thus : b. born, d. died, m. married, unm. unmarried, dau. daughter, nfr. no further records. A.R.

INTRODUCTION. OEIGIN OF THE NAME. The name of Thomas came originally from the Hebrew language, and signifies a twin.* Inits earliest use the name was confined to male twins, the feminine form, Thomasene, having been applied to girls. In the lapse of time, however, the origin and significance, of the name being overlooked, it gradually came to be applied to others, and thus finallycame intogeneral use. Adopted by the Greeks and Latins, the name became thus more widely distributed. Itwas taken into Great Britain at the time of the introduction of Christianity By Pope Gregory I,about 600 a.d.

    EnterText 1.1 NIALL PALMER “Muckfests and Revelries”: President Warren G. Harding in Fact and Fiction This article will assess the development of the posthumous reputation of President Warren Gamaliel Harding (1921-23) through an examination of key historical and literary texts in Harding historiography. The article will argue that the president’s image has been influenced by an unusual confluence of factors which have both warped history’s assessment of his administration and retarded efforts at revisionism. As a direct consequence, the stereotypical, deeply negative, portrait of Harding remains rooted in the nation’s consciousness and the “rehabilitation” afforded to many presidents by revisionist writers continues to be denied to the man still widely-regarded as the worst president of the twentieth century. “Historians,” Eugene Trani and David Wilson observed in 1977, “have not been gentle with Warren G. Harding.”1 In successive surveys of American political scientists, historians and journalists, undertaken to rank presidents by achievement, vision and leadership skills, the twenty-ninth president consistently comes last.2 The Chicago Sun- Times, publishing the findings of fifty-eight presidential historians and political scientists in November 1995, placed Warren Harding at the head of the list of “The Ten Worst” Niall Palmer: Muckfests and Revelries 155 EnterText 1.1 Presidents.3 A 1996 New York Times poll branded Harding an outright “failure,” alongside two presidents who presided over the pre-Civil War crisis, Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan. The academic merit and methodological underpinnings of such surveys are inevitably flawed. Nonetheless, in most cases, presidential status assessments are fluid, reflecting the fluctuations of contemporary opinion and occasional waves of academic revisionism.

Warner “I beg your lordship’s permission to observe, and I do it with great concern, that this spirit of opposition to taxation and its consequences is so violent and so universal throughout America that I am apprehensive it will not be soon or easily appeased. The general voice speaks discontent… determined to stop all exports to and imports from Great Britain and even to silence the courts of law…foreseeing but regardless of the ruin that must attend themselves in that case, content to change a comfortable, for a parsimonious life,…” Lieutenant-Governor of South Carolina, Wm. Bull to Earl of Dartmouth, July 31, 1774. [Documents of the American Revolution, 1770-1783, Ed. K. G. Davies. (Dublin: Irish University Press, 1975) VIII: 1774, 154.] Momentous historical events often issue from a nexus of violence and communication. While American independence from Britain ultimately depended upon the spilling of blood on the battlefields of Bunker Hill, Saratoga and Yorktown, the successful challenge to the legitimacy of British rule in America was the culmination of an earlier communications war waged by American Whigs between the Stamp Act agitation of 1764-5 and the Coercive Acts of 1774. In response to the first of the Coercive acts--the Boston Port Bill--Boston Whigs secured a tidal wave of political and material support from throughout the colonies of British America. By the end of 1774, the American Secretary at Whitehall, Lord Dartmouth, was receiving reports from colonial Governors of North America, like the passage quoted above from the Lieutenant-Governor of South Caroline, William Bull.

As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

BY David Fitz Gerald. , ( · , I / (I£l1£ral ~£ltry ~. ~llllt. The Companion whose name heads this memoir, whose lamented death leaves a vacancy in the ranks of this Com­ mandery which can never be filled, and whose loss we most deeply deplore, was a man of no ordinary cast of character. He had seen much and varied service, and can be pointed to with pride as the beau ideal of the true American soldier, faithful to his country and her interests. He leaves behind him a name of which his family may be proud, and which future generations must admire. HENRY JACKSON HUNT was born at Detroit, Sept. 14, 181 9, of good old New England stock. He was a son of Lieut. Samuel Wellington Hunt, of the 3d Infantry, and a grandson of Capt. Thomas Hunt, of the Massachusetts Artillery, who served during the Revolutionary War, and was severely wounded in a storming party at the siege of Yorktown. He subsequently became Colonel of the 1st Infantry, and from him Gen. Hunt inherited the Order of the Cincinnati, which inheritance he very dearly prized. Gen. HUNT entered the U. S. Military Academy as a Sep­ tember "plebe" in 1835, being then a few days less than sixteen years old, and found himself among a class of youthful associates, some of whom were afterwards to serve with him on the bloody fields of Mexico, and others who were to serve both with him and against him on the still bloodier battle-fields of their own native land.
