Colored U ap by the Hellot;pe Printing Co., boston. PREFACE. IS^p H book is one of a projected series of volumes, which will aim. to give an account of the * old houses of Norwich, their owners and occupants, from the settlement of the town to the year 1800. This f irst volume includes all the buildings on the main roads, from the corner of Mill Lane, or (Lafayette Street), to the Bean Hill road, at the west end of the Meeting-house Green. In t he genealogical part will be found the first three generations of the earliest set tlers, but beyond this point, in order not to add to the bulk of the book, the only lines carried out, are of those descendants who resided in the district covered by this volume, and these, only so long as they continued to reside in this locality. An effort has been made to follow back the direct line of each resident to his first American progenitor, but this has not been feasible in every case, owing to the great expense of such a search, in both time and money. In these difficult cases, a possible ancestry is sometimes given, marked by a line across the page, in the hope that some descendant, through family papers or personal search, may furnish the missing links, or prove another line of descent. The r ecords of the early land grants of Norwich are very imperfect, and various attempts were made from the year 1672 to the beginning of the eighteenth century " to find the names of the first purchasers and what estate each of them put in" to the town. The first book of records give the bounds of estates, but not the measurements, and the second and third registers vary, as other lands have been added to or sold from the original grants. Then some of the proprietors failed to record their home-lots, and the measurements and situation of these can only be ascertained from the. deeds of sale, so, in the map of 1705, it was found impossible to accurately define the home-lots, or to give more than their approximate measurements or outlines. In m any cases, houses have probably, for a longer or shorter period, been occupied by other tenants than those mentioned, but unless they were actual purchasers of the property, there is often no trace of this occupancy, as leases were seldom recorded, and even in case of an actual purchase, the grantee does not necessarily become an occupant, so mistakes are easily made. It has been endeavored, when possible, by reference to deeds and other records, to dis tinguish between owners and occupants, but if any persons, through documents in their possession, can rectify any errors in this respect, or in any dates of births, deaths, or marriages, or in lines, of descent, and will address P. O. Box 63, Norwich, Conn., such information will be gratefully received. In t he long period of 140 years (1660-1800), many generations come and go, and new resi dents are continually appearing, so space will not permit any very extended account of each iv P REFACE. individual, s till the author hopes that the meagre details she has given of these lives of the early inhabitants, may be of some interest to their descendants of the present day. To m ention all the genealogical and historical works consulted, and all the persons who have furnished copies of pictures, dates, and many items of interest, would be impossible, so the author must confine her acknowledgments to those who have made more substantial con tributions to the work : as to Donald G. Mitchell, who has generously given the colored map, the frontispiece, which will recall to his contemporaries many old landmarks which have long since passed away ; to the Hon. John T. Wait, who has supplied most of the anecdotes and re miniscences of the past which help to enliven these otherwise dry pages ; to H. W. Kent of the Slater Museum, who has furnished the map of 1705, and the Church plans of 1756 ; to Frederic P. Gulliver, who has drawn the map of 1795 ; to Charles E. Briggs, who has contributed photographs of the old Indian sites, and the relics of the last "Church on the Hill;" to Henry McNelly and Edwin S. Barrows, who have given the author much information about the old localities ; to J. Millar Wilson, by whose aid the material for the book-cover was procured ; to Ruth H. Bond of New London, who supplied the cover design ; to the Town Clerk of Norwich, Samuel H. Freeman, whose courtesy and helpfulness have been unfailing, and under whose careful supervision, the old town books have been copied, fully indexed, and attractively bound, and are now a pleasure to the eye, and accessible for reference ; to the Rev. Richard H. Nelson, Rev. Charles A. Northrop, Herbert L. Yerrington and William H. Allen, for access to the records and pamphlets of Christ Church and the First and Second Churches ; to Mrs. Daniel F. Gulliver, for the sketches of the lives of her father and grandfather, Henry Strong and the Rev. Joseph Strong ; and last but not least to Ellen D. Larned, author of the History of Windham County ; Mrs. George B. Ripley, Maria P. Gilman, Mrs. Frederic L. Osgood, Emily N. Perkins, Sarah H. Perkins, Mrs. Henry Reynolds, and Mrs. Henry L. Butts of Norwich ; Mrs. Clarence Deming and Louise Tracy of New Haven ; Julia Chester Wells and Elizabeth N. Perkins of New York ; John Bliss of Brooklyn, L. I. ; Gen. Edward Harland of Norwich ; Henry R. Bond of New London ; Warren F. Kellogg of Boston, Mass., publisher of the New England Magazine ; William Read Howe of Orange, N. J. ; William H. Shields of Norwich ; Rev. Christopher Leffingwell of Bar Harbor, Me. ; and Joseph H.

  • (King Philip's War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

  • Notes from Manuel Trigo Clinic Saturday 2/1/2014 and Sunday 2/2/2014 Notes from Sandy Whisler
    Notes from Manuel Trigo Clinic Saturday 2/1/2014 and Sunday 2/2/2014 Notes from Sandy Whisler Some Caveats from Sandy: I was not intentionally writing these notes for others to read, so as I took them I included some rephrasing to help me remember and understand what I was seeing and hearing. As a result, although I believe that I have the gist of what Manuel said and was trying to explain, there are undoubtedly some things that I have wrong or incomplete. If you see these, please send me corrections or your own explanations of what you understood. I will usually use ‘snaffle’ when I mean top rein since that is what I am used to and have in my notes. I wrote most during the first group for each session and later added just what was additional or that I missed the first time. I would also like to say that I really enjoyed seeing all of you work with your horses. It is difficult to try really new things in front of other people with an excited horse away from home. You all did a wonderful job! I am glad I get to try these things alone at home first . Saturday Morning before and during group one. Serreta—a type of cavesson. Used instead of snaffle. Ride with two reins—1) snaffle or serreta (on top) The serreta must be correctly shaped to the horse’s nose. Each horse needs his own. 2) and curb (on bottom) A rider who does not respect the horse will hurt the horse’s mouth with the snaffle.

  • War, Murder, and a “Monster of a Man” in Revolutionary New England
    THE ANXIOUS ATLANTIC: WAR, MURDER, AND A “MONSTER OF A MAN” IN REVOLUTIONARY NEW ENGLAND A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by David W. Thomas December 2018 Examining Committee Members: Travis Glasson, Advisory Chair, Department of History Mónica Ricketts, Department of History Jessica Roney, Department of History David Waldstreicher, External Member, The Graduate Center, CUNY Richard Bell, External Member, University of Maryland ii © Copyright 2018 by David W. Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT On December 11, 1782 in Wethersfield, Connecticut, a fifty-two year old English immigrant named William Beadle murdered his wife and four children and took his own life. Beadle’s erstwhile friends were aghast. William was no drunk. He was not abusive, foul-tempered, or manifestly unstable. Since arriving in 1772, Beadle had been a respected merchant in Wethersfield good society. Newspapers, pamphlets, and sermons carried the story up and down the coast. Writers quoted from a packet of letters Beadle left at the scene. Those letters disclosed Beadle’s secret allegiance to deism and the fact that the War for Independence had ruined Beadle financially, in his mind because he had acted like a patriot not a profiteer. Authors were especially unnerved with Beadle’s mysterious past. In a widely published pamphlet, Stephen Mix Mitchell, Wethersfield luminary and Beadle’s one-time closest friend, sought answers in Beadle’s youth only to admit that in ten years he had learned almost nothing about the man print dubbed a “monster.” This macabre story of family murder, and the fretful writing that carried the tale up and down the coast, is the heart of my dissertation.
