I: 3 The immutable laws of progeniture provide that every person shall have had two parents, four grandparents, and eight great-grandparents. With each generation the number is doubled. In the tenth degree of relationship, had there been no inter-marriages between the ancestors, the number will have exceeded a thousand. In these pages the numbers shown· in connection with the names of in­ dividuals denotes the degree of relationship with the last of her name in the line, Georgia Ann Eastman, who became Mrs. William Morris Bennett, and was my mother. She is numbered l, her parents 2, grandparents 3, and in like order to the ninth and tenth degree, the first of their respective families in America. As a result of past indifference or neglect, many people are unable to trace their ancestry beyond their grandparents, or only in the line of the name they bear, to each of whom they are no more nearly related than to any other ancestor in the same degree. From each in the same degree of re- 1at i onshi p we are supposed to inherit characteristics in equal proportions, but it is a matter far more complex . than arithmetical progression. As a basis for the study of this interesting and important subject, and for such interest and benefit as may accrue to future generations, I have attempted a compilation of my mother's ancestry in America. Almost without exception the names of her ancestors in the first three generations in America are shown in "The Genealogical Dictionary of New England" by Savage .. "The Directory of the Ancestral Heads of New England Families, 1620, 1700", by Frank R. Holmes, N. Y. 1923, is also a source of wide information. ·· Her immigrant ancestors were Puri tans. So far as has been ascertained, none of them "came in the Mayflower". The Pi lgrinw landed at Plymouth, December 21, 1620 and settled there. The Puritans began coming in ten years later. They settled the towns of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and were the first to remove to the Valley of the Connecticut. For an historical background of the early settlers from whom it is shown that Georgia Ann Eastman was descended, one may refer to the his­ tories of the settlement of Boston, Cambridge, Roxbury, Charlestown and Watertown, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and of Weathersfield, Hart­ ford, Springfield, Middletown, Hadley, and other early towns in the Con­ necticut Valley. Chapters in "The First Century of Springfield'', Middletown Upper Houses, and the History of Hadley, might almost have been written as family his• tory for the descendents of the subject of this memorial. THE FOUNDERS George Edward El I is, vice-president, Massachusetts Historical Soc1ety 1 10 the Memorial History of Boston, I: 48, says: "Thomas Foxcroft, the minister of the First Church in Boston, in a sermon preached by him on the first centennial of the settlement, thus speaks of the founders: "The initial rener- 5 at ion of New England was very much of a select and Puritanical people in the proper sense of the word. They were not ( as to the body of them) a promiscuous and hetrogeneous assemblage, but in general of a uni form charac­ ter; agreeing in the most P.x.cellent qualities. principles and tempers: Christians very much of the primitive stamp. As one of our ~vorthies of the second generation (Stoughton,in his election sermon) has aptly expresed it, 'God has sifted a whole nation, that he might s·end a choice grain over into this wilderness.' It was little of a mixed generation, in regard to their moral character and religious profession, that came over first to New England, as perhaps was ever known in the earth. They were very much of a chosen generation, collected- from a variety of places, and by a strange conduct of Divine providence agreeing in the same enterprise, to form a plantation for rel igioo in this distant part of the world. Scarce any of a profane character mingled themselves with the first-comers; and of those who came hither upon secular views, some were disheartened by the toils and difficulties they met with and soon returned, and others, finding the reformed climate disagreeable to their vitiated inclinations, took their speedy flight away. The body of the first-comers were men in their middle age or declining days, who had been inured to suffering for righteousness sake." THE LATER GENERATIONS Mother had few near relatives. She was the only child of her parents to reach maturity. Grandfather Eastman lived in Savannah, Georgia, and died there February 14, 1840, "from an affection of the liver", aged 28 years.

Nothing contributed so much toward the lure for the exploration and settlement of North America as the quest for the beaver. Interest became quite pro- nounced early in the seventeenth century. Bartholo- mew Gosnold voyaged hither in 1602, trading inci- dentally for furs with the Indians. In 1603, Martin Pring coasted along the New England shore and re- ported seeing animals "whose furs may yield no small gain to us." In 1614, Captain John Smith, of Poca- hontas fame, reported that "With eight or nine others, ranging the coast in a small boat, we got for trifles, near eleven hundred beaver skins." English merchants, who financed various colonizing enterprises, urged the emigrants to devote their energies to such commercial activities, rather than to agriculture.

For a town with a reputation for ancestor worship, Boston has surprisingly few memorials to its Puritan Founders. There is a statue of John Winthrop in the Back Bay and a statue of John Endicott in the Fenway. However, noted Puritan antagonists Anne Hutchinson and Mary Dyer both enjoy large memorials in prime locations on the grounds of the Massachusetts State House – impressive for women exiled and executed, respectively, by the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Hutchinson’s ally, Henry Vane, Jr., has a statue just inside the Boston Public Library.

  • Chapin Family
    THE CHAPIN GATHERING. PROCEEDINGS AT THE MEETING OF THE. CHAPIN FAMILY, SPRINGFIELD, MASS., SEPTEMBER H, 1862. SPRINGFIELD PRINTED BY SAMUEL BOWLES AND CO~PANY. 1862. I PRELIMINARY RECORDS AND REMARKS. THE CHAPIN family is one of the largest in this country. It is descended from Dea. SAMUEL CHAPIN, who settled in Springfield, Mass., in 1642-a man whose name and blood are now to be found in every one of the United States. As the proceedings recorded herein will show, it now contains some of the first minds of the na­ tion, and has been, throughout its history, a family of intelligence, in­ fluence and virtue. In harmony with the new interest everywhere observable in genealogical and antiquarian matters, it was determined that there should be a meeting of this family. The first suggestion came from the Hon. HENRY CHAPIN of Worcester, formerly Mayor of that city, to the Hon. STEPHEN C. BEMIS, Mayor of Springfield and a possessor of the Chapin blood. The following is the letter : JUDGE CHAPIN'S LETTER. WORCESTER, Jan. 17th, 1862. Ron. S. C. BEMIS-DEAR Sm :-I write you upon a matter in reference to which some of the family of "Ohapins," have been exercised, and that is a meeting of the Chapin family. The natural place of such a meeting is the valley of the Connecticut, and Rev. E. H. Chapin would naturally be the orator of the occasion. Now, for one, I should be very glad to have such a meeting held, and as I am informed that you are one of the stock, and as, from my experience, I know that Mayors are expected to know how to do everything, and to do it, I write to you and suggest that such a meeting should be held, and that you should take the initiative steps in the matter.

Dedication This publication is dedicated to the memory of Charles Rathbone Stark, whose 1927 publication entitled “The Aaron Stark Family, Seven Generations”, was the beginning of this journey into the past. His compilation of the descendants of Aaron Stark — an ambitious undertaking for 1927 — was instrumental to my research and contributed to much of the material to be presented. I further dedicate these pages to past and present Stark family researchers who contributed to this publication. May future Stark family researchers improve on these pages — already obsolete as they are being written — producing research of their own which will surpass these humble efforts to preserve the history of Aaron Stark and his descendants.
