Ancestry Nathan Dane Dodge and of His Wife Sarah Shepherd Dodge

IN T R O D U CT IO N

T H IS book is published by the children of Nathan Dane and Of a n Sarah ( Shepherd ) Dodge , and contains a record their lineal

c e s tr P y as far back , usually , as the uritan immigration , together with a brief notice of some of the more interesting among the col

lateral relatives . E It is the genealogy of an average New ngland family , descend

c d f ro m , without exception so far as is known , the Puritans , whose ’ advent o n these shores has gone far to make New England s name \ 1' p omine ntin the civiliz ation of the world . l V e are like the majori ty , in that our forefathers have generally

- m e n been earnest , humble , hard working ; our foremothers , tender

and true women , striving to do their duty according to the light

shown them : but we are no less like the majority , in counting — among our kinsmen , i ndividuals of note such as the world is glad — to remember li ke stars shining through the night of oblivion ,

which , soon or late , settles down on the mass of mankind . ﬁ rs t The method pursued in the following pages is to set down ,

the ancestry of Nathan Dane Dodge , and second , that of Sarah ,

his wife .

r I l : Pa t w i l include First , those ancestors through Whom the

name of Dodge is derived ; second , those of the name of Dane ; ’

M r . third , the pedigree of Dodge s paternal grandmother H annah

’ l Vlu ttr ed e ( g ) Dodge , and her cognate lines ; fourth , the lines of his maternal grandmother Hannah ( E ll i ngwood) Dane a nd lines ﬁ fth allied to her and to the Dodges ; , the Burnham , and other

lines related to the Danes , etc .

Part I I . The ancestry of Mrs . Dodge w ill be given in a sim ilar

way . f Par tII I will contain brief notices o interesting collaterals . Special notice wil l be given such incidents in the lives of our forefathers as will be of i nterest to those of the family who may ” wish to become members of the Hereditary Societies , Where ( 3) 4 I NT R O D U CT IO N . eligibility to membership depends on lineal descent from a soldier W h o i has done serv ce in either of the Colonial Wars , or in that of the Revolution . Thi s Will be done not because we honor warriors more than those Wh o have spent their days Wholly in the ways of peace , but since these societies are evidently of value to the com

a w e munity at large , membership in them may lso be a good ; and , Wh the descendants of those o have made the peace we enjoy , Wish

r one for our children , as did S ilas Marne for his little , whatever ” is esteemed a good in our R aveloe .

th e tions , a type of hale and Vigorous manhood wh ich was his till

’ far past the psalmist s allotment of life to man . H e great ly enlarged the boundaries of the farm as he received i t ; his energy and hopefulness were marvellous , always , as his devoted wife said of h im , taking the heaviest , hardest part of any work to be done u pon himsel f . A descendant of the Puritans , as will be seen in the coming pages , he not only clung to the faith of his fathers , but he shared the independence of forms out of wh ich the spirit had departed , or into w hich the spirit could not come because of necessary d istrae

. w as tions , so characteristic of them Our respect for him not les sened by the fact that he did no t force himself and a s to a mere formal o bs e w ane e of family worship when the heart was not in s ufﬁ c i ent repose to make the service help ful nevertheless i t was

r l l his u e to fol ow the ancient custom , and how well we recall the reverence with which he read from the Bible after breakfast ; fol lowing his reading by an extempore prayer , while we still sat about

h i s , the table , he always standing , hands resting on the chair back lightly held , its front towards him . H e had a beautiful tenor voice , and among the pleasantest recollections of his children and grandchildren is the family ren

i - der ng , led by him , of familiar sacred songs , his toil hardened , yet

mu small hand , ri sing and falling , very gently , i n time to the sic .

With hi s ardently religious temperament , he could not fail to ( 5) 6 AN CE S T R F N AT H AN D AN E Y O D O D G E . take an active part in the meetings for prayer and praise of his church , and he gave to it of his means generously , yet without os tentation .

I n her face there was a marked resemblance to i s the portra t of her honored uncle , Nathan Dane , to whom she seemed nearer , as I have heard , than an ord inary niece , because she lived with his mother , who adopted her after the death of both her parents , within the space of a few days , when she was only

ﬁ v e years old .

ﬁ u re Grandmother Dodge had a slight g , of medium height , and was quick in her movements even when very old . 1 2 ANCE S TRY o n NATHAN D AN E DODGE .

Her keen gray eyes seemed undimmed by age , though she used “ ” spectacles for reading or sew ing . She never wore the false fronts in vogue at that time for old ladies , but her own gray hair was tied at the back of her head , and the mass brought forward under her

— a white lace cap , then parted across her forehead method strongly commended by another ancient dame , not nearly so old , but less fortunate in wealth of hair . When , as a young girl , I went to read ’ ” a m to her from Scott s Commentari es , I afraid I enj oyed much m ore drawing out of her , stories of old days , and i n particular an

s ﬁ rml account of the one gho t she y believed she had seen , though she declared Uncle N athan had no faith in ghosts 1

She was a woman of much intelligence , of great energy and

— - force of character the princess of care takers , always alive to what was going on about the farm— and she had the power of winning the lasting respect and love of her descendants . She was most tenderly cared for at the last— when for somewhat more than a year her mind had become clouded i n some respects

AB I G AI L D AN E . I thi nk I was early trained into reverence for the name grand u i n mother , partly by the p ec liar tone which I always heard my mother mention hers . I really think that , after I was old enough to remember well , up to the close of her own life , few of her days passed without her making some allusion to this venerable lady . f O her parentage I know nothing . She was Abigail Burnham of

Essex , Massachusetts , and from a family record in her own hand

3 1 17 17 . writing , I see she was born on August , Of her history , I only know that she made an early marriage n with Daniel Dane , a very respectable you g farmer , of the adjoin m — i ng town of Ipswich , who she long survived living beyond eighty

— ﬁ ft - ﬁ ne years while he died at y two , leaving her mistress of a m al l unmar far and the mother of twelve children with of whom , 13 ANCESTRY o r NATH AN DAN E DODGE .

" ‘ ’ ﬁ rs t l h a uk s i vi n s n e r ried , she sat down to her g g pp , then the

N w . great e England festival , after the death of their father ’ That she was well born and bred , I infer from the fact that

s w she was very highly re pected in her neighborhood , as a ell educa

( e ﬂi c i e nc ted woman of the lay , of superior wi sdom and y of charac

w as ter . Her husband a collector of the town taxes , and held other o ﬂi c e s which might have interfered with his farming occupations ; but , althoug h her own domestic duties must have been onerous and very complicated with her very large family , she , being a very

h o rse w oni a n th e b e expert , used to take a young child on saddle fore her , ride round to collect the taxes at the distant farmhouses , and at evening settle up the books — as my grandmother told ’ me she could well remember when a child to help her husband .

I t had been intended that the eldest son , Daniel , should live on ’ the home farm . But when , at his father s death , he was to marry and enter on his new duties , it was found that the young woman , who was to be his w ife , shrank from coming into competition with the elder matron— and he decided to take his portion and go to a new home in New Boston , New Hampshire , where he subsequent l y became a wealthy and very respectable farmer .

It was then necessary for Mrs . Dane to make a new selection

m ﬁ v e . from a ong her remaining sons , of one to live with her She passed over Samuel and John , who were then apprenticed to the ’ ‘ ’ ‘ — no w I - — trade of joiner what we , think , term cabinet maker and decided to have Nathan , then sixteen years of age , for her farmer .

But Nathan had other proclivities and , when the matter was pro

to ﬁ r ml posed him , modestly but y replied , Mother , I wish to g o ’ ‘ to college . The surprised mother replied , Why , Nathan , that

h e — will impossible your older brothers cannot assist me , and i f ’

ou . ﬁ rm they could , I should prefer y H is still reply was Well ,

do m be st a m mother , I will work on the farm and y , until I twenty ’ : one then I must go to college . The subject was no more dis n ‘ ’ cussed between them until he had early attained his majority . But in the meantime the bonds of respect and affection grew very t n s ro g between this mother and son , and his three younger broth ers , of w hom two were twins , died suddenly and early of fever .

- ﬁ r s t As his twenty birthday approached , his mother who h ad l seen how all his eisure had been devoted to reading and study , though none of his duties as a farmer had been neglected , began n to feel that she could otlong retain him . As he rose up from his 14 ANCE S TR Y o r NATH AN DANE D OD G E .

a ﬁ r e favorite position by the bl zing wood , where he had been dil i e ntl w th e w g y studying by its light , ith only addition of a tallo can i n dle an iron candlestick , held in his hand , on the eveni ng pre

ceding his birthday , his mother said with some anxiety in her

- - tone , Nathan , you will be twenty one to morrow ; is it not time for us to talk about the future H e then laid a slip of folded h i s to 0 paper upon her lap , on which decision 9 was very respectfully

i - written , and said , smiling , We will settle all about tto morrow , ’ n f r mother . And the ext day he laid a plan before her o the man

a e me nt ff a g of all her a airs , which proved th t he had wisely and a t well considered her case , and the execution which he always tended to for her in all the details which would cause her any

trouble to superi ntend . H e was that one Nathan Dane to whom Dani el Webster refe rs 183 0 in his celebrated speech against Hayne , in the congress of the author of A Digest of American Law and the celebrated Ordi 178 7 w nance of for the government of the North estern Territory ,

etc . I had the foregoing little details from my grandmother [Molly

( Dane) Ellingwood] , his favorite sister , four years younger than H e himself . always seemed to me like a sort of grandfather , my i i m mother being a favorite n ece of his , and I always living in his

mediate neighborhood from my birth until my marri age .

No portrait of any kind exists of my worthy ancestress , and w hat I have to tell of her really amounts to so little ! Yet to me ’ she has been a model woman . The entire respect with which I have always heard her mentioned by the numerous descendants i nﬂu nce whom I have chanced to meet , with the extraordinary e she

exerted upon my mother , who spent much of her girlhood in her i ” companionship , has induced this Op nion of her . i [Copied from recollect ons written out in 187 7 by Mrs . Fanny Larcom Abbot]

M r . l am A. al u For the above I indebted to A. G o p e of Beverly n i e . and Miss Arol ine F . Wh ttr dge of Lynn She is a descenda t i r Wh tte d e J J J. of Livermore g , through ohn , ohn , Joseph and

Lucius Wh ittr e dg e . A G GE .

n a l O account of their brevity , it has seemed best to group the G t Wh i ttr e d e l ied lines of age and Herrick with tha of g , thus giv ’ ’ - D . ing Nathan Dodge s great grandmother Gage s line , next to that of his grandfather Wh i ttre dge .

L . A i ( See Gage Family , by Norris Gage , also rticles in Amer can Ancestry . ) The Gage family seem quite generally to believe themselves de scended from an ancestry more than one member of which had been knighted .

M r . N . L . J According to Gage , ohn , who was made baronet ,

i r d 1633 . married Penelope , widow of S George Trenchard ; ied m H is second son John , of Stoneha , Suffolk , came to America

r 1630 . with John Winthrop , J . , landing For second wife , he mar 1658 i . 7 S ried Nov , , arah , w dow of Robert Keyes , and had eight children , seven of whom were sons . The name of Moses did not ’ ’

i n M r . L . J oh n s occur N Gage s enumeration of sons , but in his own line it did occur twice , though neither of these was the Moses who married Sarah Dodge . Still it may have been a favorite fam ily name .

r G al l ou e Atall events M . p is authority for the statement that the B everly Gages were certainly from Ipswich . H ammatt says very little about John Gage , and the town records of Ipswich u i n u nothing ; so we m st leave the question do bt , as to the precise relationship of Moses Gage to John .

As 17 48 he died in , aged eighty ( see Dodge Genealogy) , he ’ m ight have been Joh n s son .

J0 1111 1 G age was one of the thirteen sent by Governor Win

th ro 1633 . p to forage Ipswich , in It is worthy of note that another of the thirteen was William

Perkins an ancestor of Mrs . Dodge .

Daniel Andrews was one of the leading men i n the village , and the warrant against him was proof that soon none would be too high to be reached by the prosecutor .

Bennett Eliot Benit Elyot the father of Rev . John , Philip l and Mary , had property in Hunsdon and the surrounding Vil ages , so the Eliots of Hunsdon and Roxwell , might have been related .

S t. from the Earl of Germans , a descendant of S ir John Eliot , shows the high honor in w hich Mary ( Eliot) Payson ’s relative was held . After explaining why he could not tell whether there was any b connection etween the families , though there might very well be

A . that of postle to the I ndians , illustrates any pedigree T he author from whose work the above i tems are taken thinks identity of coats of arms proves the relationship of the Bennett E 1 i otfamily to that of S ir John . Certainly there was a kinship of soul ; a marked similarity in the mental and moral attitude towards the p roblems of the epoch bet ween Bennett Eliot ’s sons John and Philip and that o f their distinguished contemporary Sir John Eliot w 1632 who died in the To er , , where he had been imprisoned two years . As to whether Mary was daugh ter or granddaughter of Bennett n Eliot , the weight of authority thus far is stro gly i n favor of the former relation .

i t . from quoting , but it seems very good f O v S . the two letters from R e . Edward Shepherd one is not c an dated , and I only guess from internal evidence that it is of later

3 1845 . date than one from Gardiner , April , Both are addressed to M iss Mary Shepherd , Boston . That from Gardiner begins Dear sister M ary

It no w P . M . is about six , and I have but just concluded to sit u s down and write a fe w lines to you . The sun is about leaving to

Visit other cl imes and gladden other hearts with his cheering beams .

How many sad hearts has he shone upon this day . How many a poor slave has wearily bent over his task , while the glad sun was pouring his beams all around him and prayed for deliverance . The sigh of the bondman has this day gone up into the ears of the b Lord God of Sabaoth , while he has been dispensing the lessing ” of sunlight upon both him and his oppressor . Uncle Edward ’s attitude on the slavery question in 1845 seemed f worthy of a pl ace here . The sadder side of li e seems almost ever i present to these young m nisters , marked as they doubtless were , by their delicate organization for early graves , and yet we of to day are like them i n our sorrow though they voiced it differently . i For illustration note th s farther on. Fancy a nation of people literally str uck blind and groping at w ! noonday . What would this be compared with hat actually exists Think of the mighty concourse that yearly sink to the silence of the tomb , with not a si ngle ray to light up its gloom . And how many more are being constantly ushered into the world to spend a brief existence of merely animal pleasure and pain , and then d ie as their ” fathers did .

There was probably a reference to the heathen , for he continues

H o wdifferent is our condition . We look up to that stupendous Wh ” globe and know o the architect is . ﬁ nd One is surprised to a cheerful strain here and there . I n one i t place , although he does not tell , I can fancy that he is trying to arouse his sister ’s curiosity as to news Isaac ( our uncle) is to bring . H e wishes that she would persuade their mother to come

H e to G ardiner . sends our love to Lucinda and tell her to write 67 COLLATERAL .

a n to me d I w ill to her . H e adds th a t he h a s one i te m of news ” a I h a he will rel te . d a letter fro m N . Dodge a few days ago .

w a a r a a They ere well as usu l , lthough Sa h wrote th t her health

h a d b s w not een as good s ince she w a sick a s it a s before . You ” must pump I saac for the rest . One is glad to see th a t Uncle Edward c o nde sc e ndcd to be play ful after he had done his duty b y Aunt Mary i n what he calls his ” e lon moral disquisition . The illness of Sara h alluded to I thi nk may have been the ” rheumatic fever which broke up the down east removal .

’ Children s notions of e a rthly bliss di ffered in old times a s well as

c a n a o f now , but I distinctly rec ll a time when the acme pleasure " me a seemed to , to be wr pped in a comfortable , and be riding down

a ! al l east in a covered w gon A s I never went , I probably had the joy and none of the pain of the actual journey .

’ Uncle Edward s second letter seems to have been written on re

’ e i c ptof news of G randmother Shepherd s illness . A fter regrets expressed he s a ys ‘Itis satisfactory to know how

e a w ev r that w i th her , de th ill be only an end of cares and trials ” here and an introduction to a more heavenly inheritance . H e alludes evidently to Uncle Mark as the one waiting to wel

l o r i ﬁ e d come among the g spirits who surround the throne , h is sainted ” mother . There is ever a hope clings to us that when

ﬁ nal . we separate here , our separations are not for time Our family n has been a scattered one , hence there has ever been that strong attachment among the members of it for each other that there is i n many . Another consequence has been that separations have not been looked upon as of much consequence . Our whole fam ily have never i been together , and , solemn thought , never w ll be until we meet around the great white throne o f the Eternal . Oh could each greet the other there as among the sa nc tiﬁ e d how lovely would be the

h o w . meeting , sweet the greeting u Dear sister let s labor and pray that such may be the case . The above indicates the feelings not of one who would love yet a ﬁ e c ti on cannot , but a degree of really delightful , and not always f m w witnessed in amilies whose me bers constantly d ell together , butnot in unity !

o f Towards the end this letter he apologizes apparently , for writ “ i t ing so much about his family , but excuses himself by thinking ” would please mother . 68 COLLATERAL .

H e reports that Calvin is well and goes to school . Also that “ he sings several tunes correctly , accompanied by bub , or Arthur

who is apparently a little fellow . w You would doubtless be amused he rites , to hear them singing together . Calvin naturally very quick and bub rather slow, the one holding back and the other hurrying with all his might to ” u keep p .

After all , the comfort of these two young fathers in their child ren helps a s to leave them to their early home -going with less of a

a s i n chill than if they had given their letters only sermons , though these had been of the best . We are glad to believe that short as their lives were and ﬁ l l e d as

ﬁ e l d they seem to have been with earnest work in their chosen , ’ they yet have a goodly measure of earth s pleasantness .

We admire them for their devotion to a lofty ideal , for the suc cess they seem to have attained in striving towards i t; - w e love e th m for their tender affectionateness towards mother , brothers and sisters , and are glad they had l ittle children to wile the hearts from the weariness and the bitter sorrow large souled men must

’ i m - often feel in v ew of life s proble s , well for them when they can

al l trust that will yet be well .

On the death of her grandmother Dane in 17 9 9 she went to stay with B e tsv

Once he was choking , and she pulled the piece of hard cracker , which choked him , out of his mouth . Again he tumbled into a tub full of water and she noticed a off slight movement of the cover ; took it , pulled him out and r e stored him . i The th rd time she was i n the garden and heard him call out , ‘ I ’m ’ Fanny, coming down to see you .
